SEASONABLE STOCK (X2S£B)

No Carnation grower, whether with an extensive range supplying the wholesale market, or with

a little greenhouse growing for his own retail trade, should overlook the

following four varieties. They will pay, and pay well.

per bloom from September 15th to date. The
greater part of our production is sold through
commission men, the above average being our
net returns. Natalie is not an exhibition va-
riety, but strictly commercial.

Price, $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000.

SURPRISE-F. Dorner & Sons Co.

In color a trifle darker and the nearest ap-
proach to Laddie of any Carnation we know.
A well grown flower of Surprise is nearly equal
to Laddie and the combined size and color,
in addition to its productiveness, will make it
a close rival to that favorite.

Its popularity will be in —

1st. The easy propagation, strong growth,
and shapely, upright plants.

2nd. The color, which is a more even shade
of pink, and just a little darker than Laddie.

3rd. The very early and profuse flowering
habit, equal to the best of the standard va-
rieties.

4th. The large size, good form and com-
mercial quality.

5th. The opening of the flower which is
quick and never bursts the calyx.

6th. The transplanting of the field-grown
plants, which become quickly established and
throwing very early flowering shoots in quan-
tity and of surprising length.

7th. The quick growth in the field, with its
early flowering habit, produces long, stiff
stemmed flowers of a beautiful shade of pink,
nearly equal to indoor grown. "Surprise"
will be a paying proposition for flowering in
the field. (Plants intended for benching should
be kept topped and not let flower in the field).

Price, $12.50 per 100, $110.00 per 1000.

And here is something really "worth while'
for the Rose grower.

HILL'S AMERICA
The E. G. Hill Co.

(Rose Premier x Hoosier Beauty)

Bud long and pointed; flower immense;
strong in texture, a good keeper.

Foliage large, dark green; stems almost
thornless and strong.

Resembles Columbia in its extraordinary,
strong, quick growth and does not crimp the
outer petals under any growing conditions;
scores very high on form and size.
The color is a gorgeous rose-pink.
Quite distinct; a fine addition to the "Big
Rose" Class.

WHAT GROWERS WHO KNOW
THINK OF IT.

"We think very well of this fertilizer, getting
extra good results wherever used. We have
been feeding the Rose beds in the greenhouse
and like it better than any fertilizer we have
ever used."

Yours respectfully,
W. J. PALMER & SON,
By B. S. Myers, Manager.

"For flowers it has no equal."

L. W. DAVISON,
Western Springs, 111.

PULV. POULTRY MANURE— Cont.

"It is a fine product, free from weed seeds,
makeweights and chaff, and ideal in its fer-
tilizing quality, stimulating, bacterial action
and absolutely without fault."

W. H. MORSE, Hartford, Conn.

"During the past year.^we have been using
your Poultry Manure on Carnations, 'Mums
and other stockfwith splendid success. As a
top dressing for the Carnations we are carrying
over into the second season, we have found it
most excellent. We find that any crop which
may be lagging somewhat in growth, can be
quickly brought up to its normal stage by the
use of your manure. ^We shall always keep a
supply on hand."

Yours very truly,
BAURI&1STEINKAMP,

Per A. F. J. Baur.

"It has proven that Poultry Manure is the
best fertilizer obtainable for Dahlias."

GEO. L. STILLMAN,

Westerly, R. I.

'The growth and bloom has been abundant.
We believe the fertilizer is a good article for

almost any crop." ^^^

A Success from Start to Finish— Good Weather, Good Attendance. Good Papers. Good. Discussions Good Sou-it, G d
Fellowship and Good Entertainment— Prospects are Pleasing and Optimism and Progress Seem the Order of the Da

Wedneiday Morning Session— June 21

PRESIDENT L. L. OLDS called the convention to
nrder nt 10.30. rorunrklng that In addition to be-
ing Hip fortieth annual meeting of the nssocla-
tlon It whs the plshth time It hurt met in Illinois
where by now it fools pretty well at home. He then
Introduced Mr. Bowman of the Northern Trust Co.,
who was ro welcome the convention In the place of
Mr. L. F. (liven, who was unavoidably detained.

In his welcome Mi'. Bowman quoted a sentence
from a circular he had recently seen to the effect that
"The mnu who knows how will always have a job;
the man who knows how and why will always be his
boss." He remarked thnt the Association had con-
vened to learn both the bow and the why .is well as
the lus and outs and ups and down of its business,
and he hoped that the event would contribute largelv
to the success of both the Individuals, the associa-
tion and the great Industry for which it stands.

After introducing Mr. J. 0. Robinson, of Nebraska,'
who responded to the address of welcome, President
Olds delivered his annual address as follows:

Address of L. L. Olds, Retiring President

When a year ago you elected me to the high office
of president, I accepted the honor with some misgiv-
ings, not knowing whether I could fill the position ac-
ceptably or not. I have learned that the wort the
president is expected to do Is by no means confined
to the annual convention. It Is an all-the-year-round
Job. I have found that almost every day of the year,
one or more matters come to the president's office for
consideration. I wish in this report to touch on a
few of the questions that .have come np during the
year and to give my Impressions and suggestions on/
the things that seem to me of most importance at
this time.

First of all, let me extend a special word of greet-
ing to the members of the Association of Official Seed
Analysts, who will be with us more or less during our
convention. We are glad to have you with us, and I
wish to give the analysts at this time an earnest in-
vitation to join in our discussions and mingle with
us socially. We want to get acquainted. We are learn-
ing that the objects and purposes of seedsmen and
analysts are so nearly the some that the best results
can only be obtained in legislation and In other mat-
ters by mutual acquaintance nnd understanding.,
bloom they were placed In cold stornge, some of them

We mourn today the loss of six members who have
been taken from us during the past year,. Including
a former president, J. M. Lupton, and a much revered
honorary member, Dr. W. W. Tracy. The complete
list of those who have passed away is as follows:
Hiram W. Buckbee, of H. W. Buckbee, Rockford, IIL ;
J. M. Lupton, of J. M. Lupton & Son, Mattltuck, N. X.;
Haxrle B. McCullongh, of J. M. McCullough's Sons
Co., Cincinnati,- 0. ; M. S. Griffith, of Griffith & Turner
Co., Baltimore, Md. ; Walter D. Ross, of Robs Bros:
Co., Worcester, Mass.; and Dr. W. W. Tracy of
Washington, D. C. Let us at this time stand for a
moment in silent tribute to these our fellow members
who have passed on, purposing In our hearts that the
courage and fidelity we have seen in their lives shall
Inspire us to more noble living and greater achieve-
ment*.

8— A Legislation Matters

A great amount of work has been done during the
year by our legislative committee, on which we were
fortunate to have Chas. r>. Boylei and Klrby B.
White, as chairman and vice-chairman. They have
not only given generously of their time, but lave made

. long trips at their own expense.

■ ' xSrlsh also to heartily commend the work of oar
counsel. Curtis Nye Smith. He has been largely the
guiding spirit in all our work, but especially In legis-
lative nutter. He has carried or/ a large amount of
correspondence with State representatives and com-

. mittee members and also with Individual members.
giving1 -legal advice and help on many subjects. -He

Alexander Forfcee, president American Seed Trad*

Association

has been prompt in meeting critical situations nnd
aggressive in followng up the different bills intro-
duced in State and National ■ Legislatures, winning
our confidence as a trustworthy advisor and legal-
authority. I recommend that he be retained as coun-
sel for the coming year. ','-.",".

Transportation

We all rejoice In the recent 10 per cent reduction
in freight pates ordered by the Interstate Commerce
Commission to fake effect July jst, and we hope for

of the leading farm papers. The advertisementTwas
headed "Bed Clover, $11 Bushel" and went on to
quote ridiculously low prices on a number of staple
field seed items. It. was of the same stripe as the
advertisements that have been put out br certain
Iowa and Illinois seed firms of rather unsavoii t-pb-

FORTIETH ANNUAL CONVENTION AT CHICAGO, ILL., JUNE 21, 22 and 23, 1922

A Success from Start to Finish— Good Weather, Good Attendance, Good Papers, Good Discussions, Good Spirit Good
Fellowship and Good Entertainment— Prospects are Pleasing and Optimism and Progress Seem the Order of the Day

dnesday Morning Session

IESIDENT L. L. OLDS called the convention to
order at 10.30, remarking that in addition to be-
ing the fortieth annual meeting of the associa-

it was the eighth time it had met in Illinois
•e by now it feels pretty well at home. He then
iduced Mr. Bowman of the Northern Trust Co.,

was to welcome the convention in the place of
L. F. Owen, who was unavoidably detained,
his welcome Mr. Bowman quoted a sentence

a circular he had recently seen to the effect that
man who knows how will always have a job ;
nan who knows how and why will always be his
He remarked that the association had con-
d to learn both the how and the why as well as
ins and outs and ups and down of its business,
he hoped that the event would contribute largely
le success of both the individuals, the associa-
and the great industry for which it stands,
ter introducing Mr. J. C. Robinson, of Nebraska,

responded to the address of welcome, President

delivered his annual address as follows :

ddress of L. L. Olds, Retiring President

hen a year ago you elected me to the high office

esident, I accepted the honor with some misgiv-

not knowing whether I could fill the position ac-

ibly or not. I have learned that the work the

dent is expected to do is by no means confined

e annual convention. It is an all-the-year-round

I have found that almost every day of the year,

pr more matters come to the president's office for

deration. I wish in this report to touch on a

of the questions that have come up during the

and to give my impressions and suggestions on

things that seem to me of most importance at

time.

:st of all. let me extend a special word of greet-
o the members of the Association of Official Seed
ysts, who will be with us more or less during our
jntion. We are glad to have you with us, and I
to give the analysts at this time an earnest in-
ion to join in our discussions and mingle with
cially. We want to get acquainted. We are learn-
:hat the objects and purposes of seedsmen and
'Sts are so nearly the same that the best results
>nly be obtained in legislation and in other mat-
by mutual acquaintance and understanding,
i they were placed in cold storage, some of them
; mourn today the loss of six members who have
taken from us during the past year, including
mer president, J. M. Lupton, and a much revered
rary member, Dr. W. W. Tracy. The complete
>f those who have passed away is as follows:
in W. Buckbee, of H. W. Buckbee, Rockf ord, 111. ;
Lupton, of J. M. Lupton & Son, Mattituck, N. T. ;
ie B. McCullough, of J. M. McCullough's Sons
Cincinnati, O. ; M. S. Griffith, of Griffith & Turner
Baltimore, Md. ; Walter D. Ross, of Ross Bros.
Worcester, Mass. ; and Dr. W. W. Tracy of
lington, D. C. Let us at this time stand for a
ent in silent tribute to these our fellow members
have passed on, purposing in our hearts that the
ige and fidelity we have seen in their lives shall
re us to more noble living and greater achieve-

Legislation Matters

great amount of work has been done during the
by our legislative committee, on which we were
nate to have Chas. D. Boyles and Kirby B.
e, as chairman and vice-chairman. They have
nly given generously of their time, but have made
trips at their own expense.

vish also to heartily commend the work of our
?el, Curtis Nye Smith. He has been largely the
ng spirit in all our work, but especially in legis-
i matter. He has carried on a large amount of
spondence with State representatives and com-
:e members and also with individual members.
S legal advice and help on many subjects. He

our confidence as a trustworthy advisor and legal
authority. I recommend that he be retained as coun-
sel for the coming year.

Transportation

We all rejoice in the recent 10 per cent reduction
in freight rates ordered by the Interstate Commerce
Commission to take effect July 1st, and we hope for
still further reduction in the near future. At one
time Mr. Boyles of our legislative committee was
assured by the railway executives that the 10 per
cent reduction of last Fall on farm products would
include all agricultural seeds; but later the railroads
decided that the list was likely to be too long and
ruled out seeds. Then a series of joint petitions was
prepared by Mr. Boyles and signed by the presidents
of the American Seed Trade Association, the Whole-

sale Grass Seed Dealers Association, and the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation, but these seemed to
have no effect at the time.

the seed trade, the matter of high freight rates waf

Garden Bureau as carried on by Leonard Vaughan
and his committee. From a purely business stand-
point this appeals to me as most effective advertising

low the market ; and many of the farmers either be-
lieve it or seem perfectly willing to be fooled once.

Beautifying Kansas City

Activities of the Chandler
Landscape and Floral Co.

IKlllllliiiri:i!l!™ii!ij.;:!i]iiiriiiiraii!i[]]iii[lill!lliliii

THE wonderfully developed residence
districts In Kansas City, notable the
world over, are not to be observed
by S. A. F. and O. H. visitors at the forth-
coming convention as something extraor-
dinary that bas been done in Kansas City.
Tbey are to be observed as something
that can be accomplished in any city in
the country.

There is not a town of 5000 people
Where the ideas that have been put into
execution in Kansas City cannot be ap-
plied. And if Kansas City can perform
any one service better than another, in
connection with the great gathering here,
it will be to help visitors to learn how
the big things done here have been
started and carried on so successfully.

Kansas City has a big start on most
cities — that la all. "We have here what
other cities must eventually have, if they
are to keep their citizens happy and con-
tented, and not envious of home surround-
ings elsewhere," said a Kansas Citian.

There are many other cities that have
beautiful residence districts, carefully de-
veloped. But enough noted authorities
have sufficiently praised some of Kansas
Oity's program, in parks and in residence
districts, to Justify the present claim to distinction.

Opportunities Foreseen Not Wholly Made

The artistic landscape' and garden development of
better residential districts, and the demand for homes
in such districts, was foreseen In Kansas City many
years ago by several factors that have contributed to
the present results. One who, foresaw the demand
here (as It enlsts In every community) was J. C.
Nichols, who secured, control .of a. large- area, and de-
veloped it with large, and small home tracts, under
restrictions, every
tract landscaped.

Another Incident
of foresight was
by the Chandler
Brothers, landscape
architects and flo-
rists. Their analy-
sis of the situation
In Kansas City
was entirely inde-
pendent of that by
Mr. Nichols; there
was no cooperation
or common aim be-
tween them. Be-
fore the Nichols
tract was much
developed, the
Ohandlers picked
out the site for a
landscape garden-
ing office, where
later greenhouses
were erected. And
this Chandler site
la now at the very
entrance to the
south side resi-
dence district
known as the
"Country Club dis-
trict," Further-
more, a new Nich-.
ols project, a Bub-
urban business dis-
trict, known as
Country Club
Plaaa with uni-
form style of build-
ings, constructed
by the company,
laid out with wide
streets, Is now un-
der development ;
and the Chandler
buildings are an
important part of
this business dis-
trict also. Chand-
lers erected a
Spanish style office

An example of one tendency in ground improvement, resulting from Availability

of landscape architectural facilities in the district specially served by the

Chandler Landscape and Floral Co,

and greenhouse store building; all the business houses
In the new business district are to be Spanish style.

M. ID, Chandler, president of the Chandler Land-
scape and Floral Co., operated a nursery eight miles
west of Kansas City for more than 80 years. B3s
brother, 0. A. Chandler, secretary-treasurer of the
company, was a florist and landscape architect. He
was with the Botanical Gardens, St. Louis, for a
period ; he also served a year In the botanical de-
partment of the St. Louis World's Fair. Then for
several years he was superintendent of Swope Park,

Kansas City, during thnt period having
charge of the establishment of growing
facilities and erecting the first green-
houaes in the park. He joined his brother
in 1911, forming the landscape and floral
company. The nursery was then turned
towards ornamental production exclu-
sively. The brothers opened an office, at
Thirty-fifth and Main sts., then near the
south limits qf residential districts, for
landscape service and nursery stock dis-
tribution. They studied the residence
growth, and selected 47th at. and Ward
Parkway as a site adjacent to a district
that was sure, to develop into fine resi-
dence property. It was in direction of
residential growth; and was beautifully
wooded, with many rugged spotB, and sur-
prisingly close to the business district for
an undeveloped area. They carefully got
together a small tract, buying Ave lots
from one party, other plots from various
parties. They nought some ground as
cheaply as $12.50 a foot, which is now
worth more than $200 a foot — such an
advance in value in sis years 1 They
moved their landscape gardening office to
ft building erected on thle .plot ; and in
1920 built greenhouses, and tore down
and rebuilt the office building, turning ft into a Span-
ish style structure suitable for flower store purposes.

Seed and Bulb Provisions in
Pending Tariff

No Important Changes Contemplated
by Senate

{Special to The Florists Exchange)
By Clakence L. Linz

Present indications at the Capitol are
that the Senate Finance Committee will
decline to make any changes in Par. 751
of the McCurnber-Fordney tariff bill deal-
ing with bulbs and other stock used by
florists and growers. William S. Gude,
national representative of the S. A. F.
and 0. H., has taken the matter up with
the committee with a view to securing
favorable action on a request from the
trade that the ad valorem rates contained
in that paragraph be eliminated.

W. F. Gude Reports

Since making a visit to the Capitol,
where he discussed the matter with mem-
bers of the finance committee, Mr. Gude
has issued this statement:

"There is little likelihood of any change
in the provisions of the pending MeCum-
ber-Fordney tariff bill covering florists
supplies, as far as I can learn. There
has been a rumor that a change that
would not be of advantage to the horti-
cultural trade was being sought, but mem-
bers of the finance committee have in-
fomed me that as the paragraphs as
written were promulgated on the basis
of recommendations from the trade, they
are disinclined to recommend any changes.
"Par. 751 reads as follows: 'Tulips, Lily
and Narcissus bulbs and Lily of the Val-
ley pips, $2 per 1000; Hyacinth bulbs,
§i per 1000; Crocus bulbs, $1 per 1000;
all other bulbs and roots, root stocks,
clumps, conns, tubers and herbaceous
perennials, imported for horticultural pur-
poses, 30 per centum ad valorem; cut flow-
ers, fresh or preserved, 40 per centum ad
valorem.'

"I have found that many persons in-
terested in this matter do not quite under-
stand what the tariff provisions really
mean. The ad valorem rates now before
the Senate are to be assessed on the basis
of the value of the merchandise abroad.
Those just quoted are 10 and 15 per cent.,
respectively, higher than the rates pro-
vided in the same paragraph in the House
bill, but the latter were to be applied on
the basis of the cost of the same or simi-
lar stock produced in the United States;
that is, by the American valuation plan.
"How- the bill has been changed since
it came from the House can be seen in a
comparison of the paragraph above and
the following paragraph as adopted by
the House:

"Par. 751. Tulip, Narcissus and Hya-
cinth bulbs, and Lily of the Valley pips,
94 per 1000; Crocus bulbs, $1 per 1000;
all other bulbs and roots, root stocks,
corms, tubers, and herbaceous perennials,
imported for horticultural purposes, 20
per centum ad valorem; cut flowers, fresh
or preserved, 25 per centum ad valorem.'
"The specific rates approved by the Sen-
ate finance committee are declared ac-
ceptable to most of those interested. It
is not possible, the members declare, to
eliminate the ad valorem rates entirely for
they are applied in what is called the
'basket clause' designed to catch all com-
modities that will not fall under the spe-
cific classifications.

"I am informed that the Senate will
probably act on this paragraph early next
month, but it will probably be another
month before final action on the entire
bill is taken. - Then it will go to a con-
ference of members of both chambers
to iron out any differences of opinion.
There will probably be a big fight over the
valuation plan, with the result, no doubt,

that the present system will be retained,
for there would be interminable confu-
sion with respect to imports if the House
scheme prevailed."

In studying the tariff situation the
Washington bureau of The Florists Ex-
change has learned that the Senate
Finance Committee will make changes
only where the rates are too high or too
low or where there is a conflict in lan-
guage. In rewriting the bill as it came
from the House, the Finance Committee
made 2082 changes; perhaps 50 per cent
of these deal with verbiage and have in-
significant effect upon the bill. Up to
June 23 the Senate had acted upon about
one-quarter of these amendments, having
approved 415 amendments in their original
form, reduced 84 rates on motion of the
Finance Committee and increased 11
rates upon the committee's recommenda-
tion. On its own motion the Senate re-
duced three and increased three rates.

Republican leaders in the Senate have
charged that the importers of merchan-
dise have stirred up propaganda through-
out the country against the pending tariff
bill in order to arouse the people and
convince them they are about to be
robbed, while in truth, they claim, the im-
porters themselves are doing the robbing.
On June 22, Senator James A. Watson
(Rep.) of Indiana, exhibited a number
of imported articles, giving the foreign
purchase price, the landed costs, the re-
tail selling price and the percentage of
the retail selling price to the foreign cost
and the percentage of the retail selling
price to the landed cost.

The Senator had to back up his con-
tentions, 20 exhibits of foreign merchan-
dise, including a package of Cabbage
seed, weighing one-quarter ounce, which
he declared had been purchased from a
New York seed house for 2c. He pre-
sented an invoice showing the sales price,
and declared that he has been informed
by the Treasury Department that the
cost abroad of this particular quantity
of seed had been 1.2c, that an additional
three-tenths_ of one cent had been charged
against the 'importers who bring the seed
to this country. Senator Watson pointed
out that the percentage of the retail
selling price to the foreign was 2891 per
cent and the percentage of retail selling
price to the cost laid down was 2253 per
cent.

He said he had brought the exhibits
before the Senate, first, to show the cheap
production abroad, and, second, to show
the large profits made by the importing
houses in the United States. He was
asked on several occasions to compare
the cost and selling prices of the foreign
merchandise with those of comparable
domestic merchandise, the comment being
made that the vendor of the foreign mer-
chandise could not have obtained the
prices charged for the imported goods if
American merchandise was not being sold
in the American market at retail for as
much or more. Senator Watson declared
that he was not interested in the prices
of comparable American articles; that he
did not look them up; and that for the
purposes he had in mind they would not
make any difference.

An effort is being made to have the
bill now pending- before the Senate passed
by the first of August. It will be fol-
lowed in the Senate by the soldiers' ad-
justed compensation bill and possibly by
the ship subsidy measure. However, both
the Republicans and the Democrats are
anxious to get away from Washington to
participate in the coming elections, and
will only remain in Washington after the
middle of August if compelled to do so
by the President. The House has cleaned
up its calendar with the exception of the
ship subsidy bill, and nothing will be clone
on this before the first of August. The
House leaders believe that they can take
care of this measure while the Senate is
wrestling with the bonus.

NOT HOW CHEAP
BUT HOW GOOD

French
Bulbs

seem now to be the
most important
topic. With the un-
precedented
drought experienc-
ed all along for the
past many months
in France, the crop
of French Bulbs is
a failure, in conse-
quence the growers
are demanding
high prices. To us
it is a serious ques-
tion, that we must
only pay prices
within reason so
our customers can
.grow the bulbs at
a fair profit. If you
have not bought
your Dutch Bulbs
so far, we solicit
your order for the
reliable Horseshoe
Brand, the best to
be had.

SNAPDRAGON

Snapdragons have moved into first
place with all wide-awake florists and are
earning growers more money than any
flower in cultivation. Th is is especially
true among growers with a retail outlet.
Splendid blooms may be had any month
in the year, with a bumper crop over the
three great flower days — Easter, Mother's
Day, and Memorial, extending throughout
June graduations.

Snapdragons are easy to grow and good
seed may be had at such small cost that
there is no excuse for having inferior stock.
Producing Snapdragon Seed is our one
business and the ever increasing orders
ehow how well we attend to it. Years of
experience and our reputation are back of
every packet of seed. See complete list

The Florists' Exchange

New York Seed Trade

Calling this week on S. D. Woodruff &
Sons, 197 Washington St., we found Frank
C. Woodruff just back from an inspection
trip of two weeks in the seed growing
sections of Wisconsin, Michigan and New
York, and also from attending the seeds-
men's convention at Chicago. Mr. Wood-
ruff said that crops in general look well,
although a good deal of local damage had
been done by rain and also by hailstorms
in some sections, the damage from the
latter in some cases amounting to almost
100 per cent. Generally speaking, how-
ever, the prospects were never better at
this season of the year for a good crop of
Peas and Beans in Wisconsin, Michigan
and New York on the acreage planted, but
this acreage in all three of the States
named is much below the normal. Mr.
Woodruff furthermore said: "Our advices
from the western teritory so far indicate
that the prospects are good for most crops
in that region. But here again there is
a vast reduction in acreage. Although
the crop prospects are now good in the
sections we have inspected, and from
which we have had advices, this pro-
nounced reduction of the acreage devoted
this year to seed raising makes us feel
that there is going to be a tremendous
demand for most seeds in the coming
Autumn."

The MacNiff Horticultural Co., 196
Greenwich st., reports that the close of
the Spring auction season was reached
on Friday, June 23. There is a consider-
able demand still for bedding plants at
the store of this company,, and also for
seeds for replanting and planting for sec-
ond crops. Insecticides, sundries and
poultry supplies are meeting with an ac-
tive demand.

At Yaughan's Seed Store, 41 to 43
Barclay st., the taking of the inventory
is about finished, and some repairs are
now being made. This store has on
view in its window a list of seeds which
can be planted at this time and during
the next few weeks with the expectation
that they will produce a crop. Orders for
perennial flower seeds are beginning to
come in. The New York store is entirely
cleaned out of Gladiolus bulbs. The dis-
play of colored RafHa, both the raw ma-
terial and objects made from it, in the
Church st. window of this store, is at-
tracting much attention from passersby.
This colored Eaffiia, a specialty, is meet-
ing with a steady demand.

S. S. Skidelsky & Co., 53 Park pi., an-
nounce this week the renaming of the new
Carnation which they are helping to dis-
tribute. The new name is "Mother's
Carnation," the Mother's Day Associa-
tion, Inc., having protested the use of
part of its title in the original naming.
We think that the new name retains all
the sympathetic appeal of the first with-
out in any way restricting the sales of this
new variety to one day of the year as
the original name of "Mother's Day" had
a tendency to do.

At F. Pynveld & Sons, 61 Vesey st.,
there is a considerable activity in flower
seeds, Cyclamen, Asparagus and Primula
moving out well. This firm is handling
novelty strands of Primula obconiea
grown by Arends and other prominent
specialists, and these are in particularly
good demand. The first shipments of
California Freesias were made last week.

The rather severe decline in French
francs in the past week will be helpful to
those buyers of French bulbs who have
not as yet covered their remittances.

California Freesia Purity bulbs have
advanced sharply since deliveries started,
dealers offering the growers almost 100
per cent above early contract prices. The
larger sizes are extremely scarce.

Chicago Seed Trade

The Onion set crops around Chicago are
suffering for the want of rain. A promi-
nent dealer was heard to say at the con-
vention: "If there is no rain within the
next ten days there won't be any crop."

Peter Hollenbach celebrated his 72d
birthday on May 25, and left June 10,
with Mrs. Hollenbach, for a trip to Ger-
many, where they will spend the Summer
_^ V\ alter S. Puffer of Yaughan's Seed
btore left after the convention for the
Southwest, where he will attend the vari-
ous State conventions, beginning first at
Dallas and then winding up at the

S. A. F. convention at Kansas City in
August.

The past week was a busy one with all
the local seedsmen. All the houses sent
a full quota of representatives to the con-
vention, all with the avowed purpose of
greeting their friends and making the
convention as agreeable as possible to
them.

S. F. Leonard, newly elected first vice-
president of the American Seed Trade
Association, has in his private office at
the Leonard Seed Co. a photograph of a
group of the representatives to the fifth
annual convention of the association, held
in Chicago in 1S87. It is remarkable
for many features, when compared with
present day conditions. Mr. Leonard
pointed out in one little corner of the
group a dozen or more noted seedsmen of
their day that have since passed away.
The group is a picturesque one, many of
the seedsmen are standing in the front
row with the rear made up with carriages
or wagons, on which other seedsmen were
either sitting or standing. Nearly all
of the representatives were noted for
their long flowing beards. It was quite a
bewhiskered representation, S. F. Leonard
at that time sporting a pair of chubby
sideburns. Some well groomed horses,
the motive power of the time, were at-
tached to all vehicles. This was before
the era of the chug, chug wagons. The
ladies all wore poke bonnets and ex-
tremely long dresses. There were some
familiar faces in the group that time had
changed but little. Carl Cropp, standing
in the foreground, looks like a divinity
student. Forming the apex of a large
pyramid of seedsmen, high on a carriage,
could be seen towering the no less im-
portant personage than that of the dap-
per J. C. Vaughan, easily recognizable,
and the only one in the group on whom
time has wrought but little change. Mr.
Vaughan looks today just about the same
as he did in this picture of 35 years ago.

Philadelphia Seed Trade

Dreer and Michell have both finished
mailing out their seasonable catalogs, no-
tice of which will be made elsewhere in
The Exchange.

The Henry F. Michell Co. had a visitor
in D. G. Grillbortzer of Alexandria, Va.,
last week. This firm still has a nice trade
in Pansies, Cyclamen, Winter flowering
Sweet Peas and perennials. The demand
for Summer vegetables and seasonable
plants continues as well.

Henry A. Dreer, Inc., in addition to its
seed business, is doing well in implements
and garden tools. Spraying machines had
a particularly good call last week.

N. E. Kirby of the I. N. Simon Co. re-
turned from a successful Southern trip
last week. Southern orders were being
shipped last week, with Beans and Cab-
bage leading.

The Moore Seed Co. reports a demand
for Tomato seeds from Florida and the
Gulf States. Amateurs are still buying
freely of quick maturing vegetable seeds.
There is a sale for small garden and lawn
tools and fertilizers. New crop Turnip
and Ruta Baga are arriving from the
growers.

New Orleans Seed Trade

Local seedsmen are expressing no regret
that the first of their long, dull, Summer
months has about passed by; in fact, they
are even ready to call quits to their en-
forced vacation and set to work again in
earnest, declaring that waiting on a long
line of customers and listening to the
steady tinkle of the cash register is
really not so much work after all, but
rather a pleasure, especially the last item.
Things will be slow here until July 20 at
the very earliest, when a turn for the
better can be expected, provided the in-
tense heat of Summer shows signs of
abating. Then for a long and busy sea-
son until the months of December and
January arrive, when the present un-
healthy conditions will probably prevail
once more.

The main trade now is with the truck
growers, who are continually renewing
their plantings for Summer sales. Seed
of June Corn is generally agreed to be
the best seller at this time, and has as
close competitors Cowpeas and Soy and
Velvet Beans. Then come Sweet Peppers,
Cabbage, Tomatoes and Eggplant, which
are receiving their second sowing and will
be ready for picking in August and Sep-
tember.

The flower seed trade is as dull as that
in vegetables. Zinnias are probably
ahead of all other Summer flowers in
sales. Then come Marigolds, Cosmos, Bal-
sam, Portulaca and Sunflowers, which are
about the only plants which will with-
stand the Summer heat. Zinnias can be
planted at practically any time of the
year here and will grow profusely, which
accounts for their present popularity.
Their seed is selling at from $5 to $15 a
pound, depending on the size and grade of
the blooms.

The Renter Seed Store reports that it
has sold a number of Dahlia bulbs recent-
ly. Not so many, but enough to indicate
that there is a noticeable demand. Its
other trade is confined practically to the
seeds listed above.

The Bollwinkle Seed Store states that
it is selling a large amount of bird seed,
together with the usual Summer pur-
chases. It is also having success in the
disposal of large quantities of insecti-
cides and various implements necessary
for Summer gardening. These, they claim,
compose the bulk of the business in the
dull months, and keep things moving in
the slow seasons.

The Baldwin Seed Store also states
that the bulk of its business is in plant-
ing accessories rather than the seeds
themselves, but it is looking forward to
big sales this Fall. The concern an-
nounces that seeds are down to pre-war
prices now, and that this should have an
effect on next season's buying.

Planting Resumed in Flooded Area

With the Mississippi River well below
flood stage, flood waters have drained into
Lake Borgne, and most of the flooded
district in St. Bernard Parish, a rich
truck growing section, is dry again, so
that planting has been resumed.

Everyday activities of the farmers and
planters are now virtually back to normal
in this district, and although much dam-
age resulted from the flood, there is still
ample time for late truck planting, and
with a prospect of good Fall crops a
strong revival of optimism is in evidence.

Big Truck Crops in Mississippi

Crystal Springs has been for 20 years
or more an important truck growing cen-
ter, and during this period thousands of
carloads of vegetables and fruit have
been shipped from here to hungry north-
ern markets. But it took the shipments
of last week to break all previous records,
92 carloads of Tomatoes having been
shipped from here Tuesday. The total
number of cars sent out during the week
under consignment to northern and east-
ern markets was 342.

There are approximately 1000 crates of
Tomatoes to a ear, and these sold at. an
average of 90c. per crate, so the single
record shipment brought to the vegetable
growers of this community $307,800 in
one chunk.

In addition to the Tomato crop, farm-
ers in this community have shipped ap-
proximately 180,000 crates of Cabbage
this year.

Truck Growers Organize

Realizing the advantages to be obtained
from cooperative marketing, truck farm-
ers of the Quarles district have organized
a Truck Growers Association. A large
percentage of the truckmen in that vi-
cinity have already joined, and others are
expected to come in. C. J. M.

tive Association, Louisville, Ky. Incor-

Kentucky Seed News

Federal reports issued during the past
week dovetail nicely with reports ema-
nating from the seed trade here relative
to Kentucky's 1922 Blue Grass seed crop.
General opinion is that the stripping was
very successful and that raw seed will
develop about 700,000 bushels, which will
clean out at about 450,000 bushels of
cleaned seed. Cleaners are quoting around
20c. a pound for new seed. Some raw
seed is being sold by farmers at around
$1 a bushel, which when cured and
cleaned would be in line with the price
quoted by cleaners. A fair crop is re-
ported in Missouri.

Seed and Fertilizer Imports

S. S. Lafayette, arriving in New York
June 20, from Havre, France, carried in
her cargo 10 packages of seed for J. C.
Robold Co.; S. S. Galtymore, arriving in
Philadelphia, June 20, from Scotland, car-
ried in her cargo 28 bags of manure for
O. G. Hemstead & Son. S. S. Oscar 11,
arriving in New York June 20, from
Copenhagen, carried in her cargo 11 bags
of field and garden seed for Loechner &
Co. and 4 bags of seed for the Judson
Freight Forwarding Co.

Arriving in New York June 19, from
Rotterdam, Holland, the S. S. Ryndam
carried in her cargo for Peter Henderson
& Co., 7 bags of garden seed, and 45 bags
of Parsley seed for W. Van Doom.

That Seedsman — Wanted-
Kalamazoo

at

Dear Mr. Editor:

You having so kindly extended an in-
vitation for a seedsman to locate in our
city, the Chamber of Commerce poet feels
it his bounden duty to state the case on
behalf of our beautiful city and its con-
cededly high class residents:

Now Kalamazoo

Gives warning to you,

O, ambitious young seedsman we need.

That you must be bright, run your seed

shop just right.
Or else it's good night and Godspeed.
And you would feel blue
In Kalamazoo,

Because your reward would be in the
discard.*
*Owing to the continued high price of coal,
"'reward" rhymes with "discard" until
further notice.
The time has come, the walrus said,
to talk of many things; but of this I shall
have more to say anon.

Wishing you every success in yoxiv ef-
forts upliftingly, I am your sincere friend
and I might also add, old subscriber
(more than 25 years continuous).

Catalogs Received

John Lewis Childs, Floral Park, N. Y— ^lid-
Summer catalog of bufbs and' plants. This is the
first time this firm has issued a Summer catalog,
its purpose being to urge the early planting of
Iris, Peonies and Strawberries. Of these, a splendid
selection is offered. In addition, Paperwhite Nar-
cissi, Freesia, and various Lilies are listed, together
with various vegetable and flower seeds suitable
for Summer sowing. Perennial plants are also
included, as are various house plants.

Wm. Henry Maule, Inc., Philadelphia, Pa. —
Mid-Summer and Fall catalog. Features many
kinds of seeds. Gives brief cultural directions for
southern planters. Field seeds are a great specialty.
All sorts of garden implements and accessories are
listed and illustrated, together with hardy peren-
nial plants, vines, shrubs. Strawberries and Roses.
Planters are urged to book their Roses now for
October delivery. In this respect it would seem
we are fast adopting the European custom of
planting Roses in the Fall before the ground gets
cold.

Parker Nursery and Orchard Co., Tecumseh*
Okla. — Trade offer of fruit trees, including Apples,
Cherries, Peaches, Grapes, shrubs, etc., for Fall
delivery. This list is in the nature of an inventory
and quotes the total number of trees that will be
available. Inquiries will be answered promptly
and quotations given on any quantity desired.

Soundness of Service

If you read a short article in these
columns last week, entitled "Each to His
Own Method," you will remember that
to prove "satisfied patrons are the same
the world over," we broke away from a
fairly well established custom of ours
not to weary our readers with reading
matter of the same trend each week.

Inasmuch as we were deviating from
our regular practice, we now think that
we should have included the following let-
ter received recently, if only to prove the
"Soundness of Service" rendered the page
advertiser as well as the classified patron.
"In regards to our page ad, the
inquiries have been coming (and
are still coming) in at the rate of
ten a day, five or six in the morn-
ing mail and about the same with
the evening mail. Orders to the
amount of $156.60 for a total of six
days since our advertisement ap-
peared, one of which was a Sunday
and no business' day. This we con-
sider a very good start." Croes

A Little
Book of Annuals

By Prof. Alfred C. Hottes

A Book that will Sell Splendidly all Summer
While the Annuals are Blooming

Gardening enthusiasm is at its height when seedlings
are appearing, when flowers are blooming, while the fruits
of the garden work can be enjoyed. But this comes after
the seed selling period has closed. The problem is, how
to conserve and carry over this enthusiasm until another
logical sales season arrives so that it can then result in
increased garden activities and increased sales of the
materials needed therefor?

One solution is by means of books — good, interesting,
practical garden books that people will keep, read, and
come to depend on, and that, in turn, will keep alive at all
seasons that desire to grow something, to plant, to prune,
to thin, to tie up, to cultivate.

Such a book, in intention and execution, in
theory and in fact, is

"A LITTLE BOOK OF ANNUALS"

— the first volume in our new "Little Book" series
of practical garden helps.

It is a handsome, carefully written, thoroughly edited,
freely illustrated, accurately indexed book of 1 28 pages
and, as such, in an attractive cloth binding, will be
offered through the usual book trade channels at the retail

price of {$1.35, postpaid)

But, because we confidently believe that it will stim-
ulate and maintain garden interest and thereby create
new sales for seedsmen, we are preparing a special edition,
attractively bound in paper, but otherwise identical with
the $1.25 edition which we are prepared to offer in lots of
100 or more upon such attractive terms that you will be
able to offer them either at a very nominal price, or as
premiums with orders — or even in some cases gratis, as a
special inducement to buyers of seeds, bulbs and plants.

Or, of course, if you prefer, you can offer the regular
cloth bound edition upon the usual trade discount terms.

We believe this book can help you build up

new business. Make a window display with

it and note how it sells.

Write for full details as to terms — and a sample copy
for examination.

N. B. — You will notice this is NOT the usual "blurb" type of adver-
tisement, telling how fine we think the book is. We prefer to let you
make your own decision — and then have you act on it.

Houston, Texas

The Market

"What is so rare as a day in June?"
— was never written in Texas, nor of
Texas, nor by any one from Texas. The
latter half of the month, at least, should
begin with an S, so it would rhyme with
sun and Summer and sultry and suffo-
cating and perspiration.

Yet poets and amorous authors of oth-
er descriptions have decreed that June
shall be that rapturous month of wed-

dings. Who could be romantic with the
thermometer perching at 90 degs. above
zero, and all the Gulf breeze blowing
toward Europe? And with but a few ex-
ceptions. Houston folk have accorded due
respect to the Sun-god, and have had their
"June weddings" during the first week.
Now, under the sweltering Summer
sun, our Gladioli are beginning to cringe;
Roses are coming in shriveled and shrunk-
en, with leaves seared brown with the
heat and curling at the edges. Only the
glorious Texas Blue Bells and our own
variety of Shasta Daisies raise their

heads in triumphant challenge to the orb
of glare and heat.

Carnations from St. Louis, Mo., and
Lincoln, 111., are very inferior, and fully
half the time are unfit for use upon their
arrival, so most local florists have aban-
doned them for the Summer. Likewise
with Premier and Columbia Roses from
out of the city. During the Winter we
can get excellent stock from numerous
wholesale points, but just now we are en-
tirely without this stock, and are depend-
ent upon our home grown Columbias and
Ophelias. Gladioli are for the most part
played out. Two or three weeks longer,
at most, and they will be entirely gone.
Tuberoses are just beginning to come in,
and they bid fair to be a good crop this
year — without bugs. Marigolds are ap-
pearing in their golden splendor in some
of the shops; but the supply of them is
quite limited and they are of a small
size. By way of wild flowers the Yarrow
and lavender Salvia are a big help in
all kinds of basket arrangements and
funeral designs.

News Notes

An afternoon visit to a few of the
local flower shops gleaned the information
that everyone, if not comfortably busy at
the time, was merely enjoying a quiet aft-
ernoon of rest. The Q. and S. Florists
■were very busy on one of the later June
weddings. White Bride Roses with Lily
of the Valley made a very attractive
bridal bouquet, and Columbia and
Ophelia Roses made the maid's and ma-
tron's bouquets quite effective. C. Ko-
fahl, the manager, and Mrs. C. Thomas,
his able assistant and designer, are both
planning to attend the Dallas State Con-
vention, and at least one of them will
probably go to the national convention at
Kansas City. Mrs. Thomas will go on to
Winslow, Ind., from the State convention,
and will visit for a month or so with her
mother.

Pendarvis & Luepke, who have suc-
ceeded the firm of Luepke the Florist, es-
tablished last December, have moved into
permanent quarters at 1206 Main St., and
are reporting a very satisfactory busi-
ness. Mr. Luepke is well known among
Houston florists as one of the best Chrys-
anthemum growers in the State.

The Hewitt Flower Shop, a little fur-
ther out on Main St., presented a very at-

tractive and pleasant surprise to the
writer upon his visit there. Mr. Hewitt
had just finished re-arranging his inter-
ior, and adding a case for the display of
baskets, which made his store look much
larger and 100 per cent more attractive
from the street. Just outside his large
double door entrance he had placed two
huge boxes of Boston ferns, which lent
a touch of beauty to the exterior, and
gave an impression of coolness to one en-
tering the store. Inside was a very pleas-
ing display of rustic pedestals and fern
baskets, wh;ch Mr. Hewitt had filled with
the various foliage plants and ferns, and
which not only proved good decorators,
but very good sellers.

The Brazos Greenhouses, with 250ft. of
beautiful modern greenhouse fronting on
Main st., the whole surrounded by a well
kept Privet hedge, were busy doing vari-
ous Summer jobs, such as cleaning up,
rearranging stock and putting their store
in order.

E. W. Eichling, manager of Kerr, the
Florist, had just finished a June sale of
Boston ferns. During the first of the
wTeek he had his windows full of vari-
ous sized ferns, ranging in price from 60e.
to $3, and he moved nearly all of them.
The store of Mr. Kerr is especially ap-
pealing these hot afternoons because of
the coolness of its interior. In the cen-
ter of the store is a cement pool full of
gold fish, which gives the impression of
coolness, at any rate. Around the edge
of the pool are daintily arranged baskets
of flowers and ferns. Overhead, in sev-
eral corners, and around the columns, are
cheery, soft looking canary birds, whose
shrill chirping makes one forget the ex-
cessive warmth and unpleasantness out-
side.

One of the attractive displays of Kerr,
the Florist, is a show case of beautiful
crockery vases and bowls, in all sizes and
designs, taking up an entire corner of the
store. While Mr. Kerr does not especially
push this line, it adds an appearance of
completeness to his store, which creates a
very favorable impression upon custom-
ers.

The store of Carroll, the Florist, was
pleasingly decorated with a profusion of
Boston and Whitmanii ferns. Several
large vases of Gladioli and some tasteful
baskets of Daisies and Blue Bells adorned
the tables, and large floor vases of the

July 1, 1922.

Gladioli were used to hide the corners.
The window was decorated quite elabor-
ately with a doll wedding, there being a
groom, a bride, three maids, a flower girl,
md a ring bearer, all properly arranged
Defore a minister, who was standing under
an arched canopy from which hung two
nrhite wedding bells, and on the top of
which were perched two small, snow-
ivhite doves — in true June romance fash-
ion. Behind the whole was a drapery of
alue velvet, and a fine overhanging back-
ground of Phcenix Roebelenii palms. Just
it the time of the writer's visit, the lead-
ing designer was busy making some sort
jf emblem with a red cross and a lot of
K.'s, but the writer couldn't stay long
enough to see it finished, nor to find out
axaetly what it was for.

J. J. Boyle of Boyle and Pendarvis,
Inc., was busy with some funeral work,
md merely stopped long enough to say
that business was good, and that he had
the best line of canary birds in the
South, and that Martha Washington can-
iies were the best sideline any florist
;ver carried. His store was decorated
ivith tall floor vases of huge palm leaves,
nhich hung low on all sides, and gave
une the impression of being in a beauti-
ful wood.

The Kuhlmann Floral Co., situated in
The Kice Hotel Building, had covered
svery bit of available wall space with
pockets of the Blue Bells. Although a
rery common flower in Texas during the
Bummer months, when properly used they
ire very useful and beautiful. Mr. Kuhl-
mann succeeded in giving the impression
;hat his store was just full of flowers.

The florists of Houston were all honored
ast week by a visit from Mrs. K. E. Dar-
Dee and her brother, who stopped in
Houston a day or two on their way to
STew York. Mrs. Darbee probably ships
nore Chrysanthemums into Texas than
ill other California and other growers
:ombined, and she was indeed a very wel-
lome and interesting visitor.

At about the same time George K. Uno,
'ormerly a florist in Salt Lake City, but
low with the Nippon Dry Goods Co.,
)f San Francisco, stopped in Houston
md visited several of the florists. He
vas a very welcome visitor to Carroll, the
Florist one evening, for it seems he (Mr.
uno) pitched in about six o'clock and
lelped them make a lot of corsages for a
miversity ball. Besides lifting the pres-
sure from the force at Carroll's, he gave
the employees there a little idea of how
;hey do it in California, and in other
parts of the country, where styles anu.
nethods are, of course, different in many
ittle details.

In spite of the hot weather, Houston

orists are all planning to attend the

'onvention of the Hour in Dallas, on the

ifth of June; and many of them will go

:o Kansas City in August.

Florist Sues (or $9,000 Damages

Tom O'Conner, florist and horticultur-
st, living just outside the City of Greens-
)oro, N. C, has started suit against the
?intsch Compressing Co. of the same city
,o recover damages to the sum of $9000.
The florist alleges that the company al-
owed certain oil to flow through a small
Dranch of water and over and through his
and, thereby causing considerable damage
to his plants, flowers, shrubbery, etc.

Raleigh, N. C.

At a recent meeting of the North Caro-
lina State Florists Association, arrange-
ments were made to use space in Floral
Hall and in the borders and beds outside
this building for a flower show to be held
during State Fair week in October. There
will be eight booths, in one of which will
be a demonstration of the F. T. D. A.
service. In order to complete final ar-
rangements for the flower show, the regu-
'ar annual meeting of the association
which was scheduled for another city,
will be held in Raleigh during July.

Watekbury, Conn. — The firm of Leary,
the florist, which has established itself
as one of Waterbury's leading floral stores,
has taken large quarters right next door
to the old place of business. This firm
ha3 grown in leaps and bounds since it
started several years ago.

ZINNIAS

For Winter Forcing

A Florist's Moneymaker

In 1919 was offered for the first time a new
type of Zinnia, the Dahlia flowered, which
was predicted would take precedence over the
Grancliflora type of Zinnia as did the Spencers
over the Grandiflora type of Sweet Peas.
We offer 14 distinct shades.

WORK;

The Price of French and Dutch
Bulbs

Does It Count?

Whether you pay a dollar or two more
or less for 1000 early flowering or Darwin
Tulips or Daffodils isn't nearly as im-
portant a matter as to have sound bulbs
to start with. Take good care of the
growing end and, most necessary of all,
handle the stock so as to have a steady
supply of flowers coming along. Every
man, no matter how good a gardener or
florist he may be, who doesn't pay strict
attention to properly timing his bulb
stock, will never get the most out of his
bulbs. There are men who insist on buy-
ing their bulbs at the lowest possible
figure, yet have absolutely no system as
regards having a certain amount of, for
instance, La Reine Tulips coming in each
week. Instead they may have 1000 flow-
ers one week and none at all the three
weeks following, during which time they
have- to buy. Yet they received hardly
anything for whatever surplus they sold
wholesale when overstocked. Where does
the gain come in? Buy right, but buy
good stock and then handle it right if you
want to make money on bulbs. And if
you haven't placed you order for all the
bulbs you need, do so without delay.
Figure out what your approximate require-
ments will be of each variety, so you can
bring in each week during the season
just so many pans or flats to insure a
steady supply, enough for ordinary, every
day use.

Gladioli

Gladioli can be planted up to the tenth
or so of July. With at all favorable
weather conditions this will give you flowT-
ers up to the end of October. There are
seasons when good spikes can be cut even
later than that, and with the retail grow-
er this pays, even though not every bulb
planted so late brings a flower. It is
only a week or two after the main crop
of flowers has passed that the florist not

only has an increased call for Gladioli,
but can realize a good price for them. It
is from that time on up to freezing that
he should have some on hand. Some
growers prefer deep planting, especially
for the late bulbs, but I don't believe that
makes a great deal of difference, so long
as you water the plants when they are in
need of it. Planted out in the open field
where you have to depend entirely on
rain, late settings are not always satis-
factory. A better way is to select a spot
wdiere you can reach them with the hose
if necessary. If you have only a few
hundred or even a couple of thousand
bulbs to plant this should not be hard to
do. A eoldframe isn't a bad place for
them, or part of an old hot bed either;
they wron't object to the manure in it.

Early Flowering Outdoor
Chrysanthemums

Don't overlook the planting out of a
good number of Chrysanthemums to
flower outdoors next October. It doesn't
matter so much what particular varieties
they include so long as they bloom early,
and even those that are supposed to flower
the first week in October will, if you
have favorable weather, stay in good con-
dition up to November. On the other
hand, many which are not supposed to
flower until the end of October may be
ruined by heavy frost while in bud. With
the outdoor Chrysanthemums the most im-
portant thing is to have them flow7er
early, and fortunately we have quite a
number of Pompons that do so. Every
florist who plants 'Mums to cut from
should have a good batch of such sorts
outdoors. With very little extra work
the stock can be planted in beds 4%ft.
or 5ft. wide, so temporary frames can
be built over them about the end of
September. This will enable one to place
sashes over the frames to keep out frost
or heavy rains. Tarpaper or cloth can
be tacked on around the sides and ends.
Two-inch stock planted out up to the

early part of July will be just right.
Don't allow over 12in. between the plants.

Dahlias and Cosmos

Whether we have an extra early frost
this Fall to kill everything outdoors, or
whether the Cosmos and the Dahlias will
remain at their best up to November,
every retail grower should try to arrange
things so as to be able to cut flowers out-
doors as long as possible. As soon as the
Aster season, is over we begin to shorten
up on flowrers, and while toward the end
of September we start again to cut more
Roses and Carnations from indoors there
are all kinds of room for outdoor stock if
you have it on hand. A good batch of
Dahlias will come in very handy. Dor-
mant tubers or 2% in. stock — which is
as good if not better — planted out now
should furnish a good crop of flowers this
Fall. It isn't by any means too late to
plant them nor to sow seed of Cosmos, of
which a couple of ounces don't cost much.
Sown thinly in rows where the plants
are to bloom, you should secure many
armfuls of fine, long stemmed flowers by
early October. While they no more than
the Dahlias can stand much frost, the
cooler the nights the better, for both
plants like it cool. That is what makes
them such fine flowers for late Fall.

Cannas

The Cannas are becoming more and
more popular as bedding plants. With
such excellent varieties as King Humbert,
The President, Mrs. A. F. Conard and
many others you can carry out any de-
sired color arrangement. When Cannas
are planted in good soil and taken care
of, few other plants can equal them as
bedders. For the retail grower Cannas
are not only desirable bedding plants and
worthy to be pushed on that account, but
they are also easily handled, and with
just a little room outdoors he can grow
on- his own stock. Not only will this
make a great show during the Summer
months, but each plant will mean enough

increase in number of eyes to give him
six, eight or more plants for the following
Spring. Dormant Cannas are as well off
under a Carnation bench as anywhere, so
long as you haven't too many. They can
be started into growth with just a little
bottom heat. If you wish to grow on all
or part of your requirements (as you
should do) there is still time to plant
out stock if you can get hold of it. I
certainly consider it a good investment.
If it is just a matter of obtaining the
largest possible increase of eyes; don't let
the plants flower at all, but as soon as
they are in bud cut the stalks down to
within 6in. of the ground, plant in good
soil, cultivate and water often; of course
labeling every variety properly. After
the frost has killed the tops, bring the
roots in with a good clump of soil around
each one.

Genistas

Old or leftover stocks of Genistas
should be cut back a little — or, for that
matter, as severely as you wish — given
a shift and plunged outdoors up to the
rims of the pots. All they require dur-
ing the Summer months is a lot of water
and room for development, but if you
wish you can pinch or shear them back
several times. They will be ready next
October to be brought into a cool house.
Small stock, consisting of 2% in. plants,
can be grown on into bushy, 5in. speci-
mens by shifting the plants from time to
time. These also are best off if carried
along outdoors. You may not sell many
Genistas, but they are nevertheless most
desirable plants for the florist, since there
is nothing to equal them when in full
bloom as show plants. Easter week is
the time to sell them, and to have them
in shape on time you want to keep them
just above freezing during the Winter
months and increase the temperature a
few weeks before Easter. They don't
need to be shifted after New Year's, and
for good results it is well to feed the
potbound plants occasionally with light
doses of liquid cow manure.

Government Fruit Experiments

The Bureau of Plant Industry at Wash-
ington is not apparently convinced that
America has all the fruits, forage plants,
etc., that it needs and while it more or
less denies the general run of people the
privilege of importing new or little known
things, the Bureau itself is constantly ob-
taining from one source or another, plants
likely to be of economic value.

We understand that G. M. Darrow of
the department is keenly interested in
fruit and he is at present experimenting

with many of the European Currants with
a view to discovering whether rust re-
sistant varieties can be developed, as was
done with Asparagus. For reasons not
explained, all these Currants have been
imported from England, although some of
them have been quoted in American cata-
logs for years.

Strawberries, too, are being tried out,
as breeders are desirous of experiment-
ing with all the species and varieties
found throughout the world. A large col-
lection of French varieties is under test.

The modern European Strawberry, by
the way, has been bred from at least
four species: Fragaria Chilcensis, intro-
duced into Europe about 1727, was
crossed with the small English F. elatior
and F. vesca, the Virginian Strawberry,
F. virginiana also playing a part.

Most of the French varieties mentioned
in Plant Emigrants are of the perpetual
or Autumn fruiting type; only one Eng-
lish variety is quoted, Dr. Hogg, one of
the earlier day varieties and rarely heard
of or grown in England today.

One wonders whether the bureau is de-
sirous of developing a perfect flowered
class of Strawberry. All the European
Strawberries we believe are self fertile;
such a thing as a pistillate or staminate
varieties we have never seen mentioned
in any European catalog.

We have heard some declare that
pistillate varieties are better croppers,
but the fact remains that European varie-
ties are hermaphrodite; to the average
English gardener such a thing as a one
sex variety is unknown.

A new Plum imported from Natal is
being watched by the department, the
trees being grown in Texas and Cali-
fornia. The Methley Plum is said to be
a cross between the Japanese Satsuma
and the European Myrobalan. It matures
its fruit in late May and withstands se-
vere Summer droughts.

Parks and Recreations

The May-June issue of this elegant
magazine, published by the American In-
stitute of Park Executives, is, as usual,
well illustrated. One article of interest
relates to the Memorial Park at Needham,
Mass., the clearing and making of which
is being done by the people of the town,
presumably because the cost is too great
for placing in a contractor s hands. The
plans include a foot race track, football
ground, children's playground as well as

The Chicago Chamber of Commerce re-
ports that it has been estimated the stock
of bituminous coal in the hands of rail-
roads, industrial consumers, public utili-
ties, retailers and unbilled coal. April 1,
1922, approximated 68,650,000 tons. As-
suming a w;eekly consumption of 8,100,000
tons, the total consumption up to June 3
was 74,250,000 tons, of which 38,164,000
tons were received from the mines work-
ing, the balance being taken from stock.
There is, therefore, estimated to be in
storage, June 3, 1922, 32,564,000 tons.
Of this tonnage, 12,564,000 can be safely
used before there is danger of a coal
panic. Stocks are not, however, evenly
divided. It is, therefore, probable some
localities may already be below a safe fig-
ure, but with production continuing as
during the eighth week of the strike, and
assuming the coal now being produced can
be evenly divided, it will be four to five
weeks before a general shortage occurs.

Week at the Capital

Br CLARENCE L. LINZ

Business Is Improving, Thanks

Business is getting onto more substan-
tial ground, according to figures received
at the Department of Commerce. A num-
ber of favorable features have evidenced
themselves during the past month, among
them continued increase in the iron and
steel industry, which is now operating
above the prewar level; sustained ac-
tivity in the building industry; marked
increase in the production of automobiles
and trucks; lower interest rate and in-
creasing demand for money; increase in
employment; and decline in business fail-
ures.

Another matter of importance, pointed
out by Secretary Hoover, is the distinct
upward trend of prices. This was more
marked in May than in any recent month.
In most instances the rise has not been
great, but it indicates a much firmer de-
mand than has heretofore existed.

The continuation of the coal strike,
with no immediate prospect of settlement,
constitutes an unfavorable feature which
has so far seemed to cause little uneasi-
ness. Stocks of coal are still ample, al-
though the demands caused by greater in-
dustrial activities are using them up
more rapidly.

The Coal Outlook

Should the coal strike continue for
some time, as it now threatens to do, a
serious condition will arise in many in-
dustries to which, apparently, few busi-
ness men have as yet given any considera-
tion. A shortage of fuel for the smaller
industries will impend within a very few
weeks. Consumption is far above non-
union production, and the reserves on
hand at the beginning of the strike are
commencing to show signs of depletion.
The Government, so far, has contented
itself with bringing about an agreement
that the non-union coal producers will,
not increase prices, but this agreement
will mean but little in actual production,
and is bound to break down should a real
shortage come.

Secretary Hoover has also caused to be
instituted a census of coal stocks in vari-
ous industries with a view to ascertain-
ing how long the most important activi-
ties of the country can operate on their
present scale. This census, howrever, does
not go into the situation of the plants in
the smaller industries.

It has been intimated that in the event
of a fuel shortage steps would be taken
to allocate available supplies among the
important industries, but as there will
be sufficient fuel only for the public utili-
ties, the steel mills and one or two other
similar lines, the florists and small
manufacturers will be forced to get what
fuel they can from any supplies that may
be imported.

Unless the coal strike is settled within
a few weeks, there is every possibility
of a shortage of anthracite next Winter,
for the hard coal mines are entirely shut
down at the present time and stocks
throughout the country will last for only
a few weeks, at the most, after cold
weather sets in.

are locally grown, and they are bringing
from $2 to $3 per doz. Peonies are com-
ing in better than earlier in the season
and are moving out well at from $4 to $6.
All kinds are selling and there are some
pretty dark reds in big demand. Gladioli
are still plentiful and in good demand,
retailing from $2 to $3 per doz., and
wholesale at 8c. to 10c. each. Daisies
are plentiful, but not much called for.

Texas Blue Bonnets are holding up well,
and are a good keeping flower. They are
also used for dressing in filling other or-
ders, and sell for $1.50 per doz. Easter
Lilies are rather an oddity at this time
of the year, and as such are moving well
at $6 per doz.

Carnations are becoming scarce on the
market, and it is perhaps a good thing,
as the demand has fallen off greatly.
Their place is being taken by the Peony,
which is now a popular favorite. Quite
a few home grown Roses offered for sale
are taking exceptionally well. The Dun-
lop Rose, a good Summer flower, is new
on the market and going good at $3 to $6
per doz. . The home grown Radiance
Rose is also popular, and is quoted at
from $1.50 to $3 per doz. Zinnias, which
have been so popular lately, are losing
ground, as so many people now have them
in their gardens and no longer need the
florists' aid.

Gloxinia plants, Chas. Erie finds, are
selling well for sick rooms, at $3 a pot;
also Caladiums, of which he has a good
display in his window.

Society to Have Outing

The New Orleans Horticultural So-
ciety will celebrate its 40th anniversary
with an outing and fish dinner, on July
13, at Little Woods, a picturesque water-
ing place on Lake Ponchartrain. All
members will probably be in attendance,
as it is a stag affair and offers a good
opportunity for a day's outing without
the necessity of framing up the usual
excuse.

Florists Delay Trip

The New Orleans Horticultural So-
ciety trip to Baton Rouge, which was
planned for this week, to seek an increase
in the annual appropriation for the work
of the entomological division of the State
Department of Agriculture, from $5000
to $20,000, has been postponed until next
week, when the appropriations bill will
go to the Senate.

That the original appropriation had
been favorably voted by the House, and
that the only chance for an increase lay
in the action of the Senate was the sense
of a message received from Baton Rouge
this week by R. T. Hobson, chief inspec-
tor of the State entomological division,
and C. W. Eichling, president of the Hor-
ticultural Society.

New Orleans nurserymen and florists
are interested in the bill, as shipments of
their products are threatened by quaran-
tine unless the present system of fumiga-
tion and inspection is continued; and this,
it is claimed, cannot be done with the
funds now on hand. C. J. M.

New Orleans, La.

The Market

June 24. — The New Orleans market
was comparatively quiet this week, and
although not as slow as it will no doubt be
during July and August, was nevertheless
much quieter than any of the preceding
June weeks. Flowers were plentiful, but
the demand was weak. Dealers were able
as a rule to keep fresh stock on hand, and
the surplus which might have gone to
waste was charitably given to benefit
organizations by most florists. Prac-
tically the same prices as the week before
prevailed, there being no cause for fluctu-
ation. There were few flowering plants
on the market and none to be had.

Several prominent funerals featured the
week, and numerous floral offerings and
designs were ordered from the florists in
consequence.

Tuberoses are something new on the
market here and are proving good sellers
with a steady demand. The majority

Kentucky's F. T. D. A.

The F. T. D. of Kentucky got to-
gether for the first time recently at the
Henry Watterson Hotel, Louisville. J.
Fred Ammann of Edwardsville, 111., field
manager of the national association, was
present and gave much encouragement to
the local organization. Miss Edith
Walker, of Edith Walker and Bros., is
district chairman of the 45th district,
which is Kentucky. Between 40 and 50
members were present.

Milton Reimers presided as temporary
chairman, and J. S. Quiery of the Jacob
Schulz Co. served as secretary for the
meeting. The day was spent in talking
shop. Following the disposition of busi-
ness and the discussion the members were
taken through the city parks on an auto-
mobile tour and then to the Audubon
Country Club for dinner, as the guests
of Louisville members.

"It is most encouraging," said Miss
Walker. "It is the first meeting, but a
beginning has been made. These get to-
gether events ought to develop into a
real help to members as a promoter of bet-
ter business and closer fellowship."

Miss Clara Catherine Bischoff and
Louis M. Stoke were married June 20.
Mr. Stoke is conected with the Louis-
ville Nurseries.

I. Bayersdorfer of Philadelphia was in
Louisville this week calling on the trade.

Louisville, Ky.

Business with Louisville florists has
been quite good during the past few
weeks, keeeping well up to the June aver-
age. In the last few days trade has
quieted down a bit. Stocks are in good
shape. Gladioli are just starting and
promise to bear out nicely as the season
matures. Sweet Peas are done for for
the present season, warm weather having
burned them out. Dahlias will be ready
for the market soon and show promise of
coming along well.

The State Florists Association of In-
diana held its annual meeting, June 21, at
Ander Rasmussen's, in New Albany. The
Kentucky Society of Florists was invited
to attend the meeting and several mem-
bers accepted. After the meeting the
Kentucky Society entertained the visitors
at a dinner and entertainment in Fon-
taine Ferry Park, Louisville. Some 40 or
50 members were present.

The entire party of about 100 persons,
including guests and visitors, made a trip
to Wyandotte Cave. Seventy-two of the
party explored the cave, spending most
of the day inspecting its various features.
It was said that this was the largest
party that had ever been in the cave at
one time.

Washington, D. C.

Flowers Wanted Badly

Flowers of all kinds in the Wash-
ington market are exceedingly scarce and
wholesalers are up against it in the mat-
ter of filling all the orders that come to
them. The first part of June found
plenty of stock in the market but the sit-
uation has reversed, the retailers not buy-
ing in any large quantities. There were
comparatively few weddings and there
were not enough other decorations and
funeral work to take up the surplus. As
the middle of the month approached the
number of weddings increased until the
past two weeks found the number what
it should have been earlier. By that time
flowers were not here to take care of the
business.

The growers in this locality are re-
planting their Roses and that means that
there are few blooms in the houses. Prices
are excellent for this time of the year
and up to $25 per 100 is demanded for
choice stock. When the wholesale houses
closed at noon on Saturday they were en-
tirely denuded of stock of all kinds. Some
extra fine Russells and Mock bring the
top figures, while Premier and Columbia
are bringing up to $15 per 100 for aver-
age-.'Stock. Lilies also have been scarce
and are now bringing $20 per 100. This
is quite a contrast to the situation exist-
ing here about two weeks ago when one
could buy all the Lilies desired at $8
per 100. Most of the local growers are
now cut out and hardly enough Lilies
are coming in to fill the demand.

Anything that was in bloom found ready
sale during the week. It was stated that
the retailers lined up in front of the
wholesale houses when they opened on
Saturday morning in order to be sure to
get enough flowers to fill their Saturday
and Sunday demands. Of course, they
knew that the wholesalers would close
early that day and also that there would
be a shortage of stock. So they eagerly
took everything in sight. Two weeks ago
at this time one of the wholesalers was
compelled to "junk" 2200 fine white Roses
which he could not sell at any price. A
week ago similar Roses brought 2c. and
4c, and if they could have been had on
Saturday they would have brought two
or three times that price.

There is a shortage of Sweet Peas, too.
None of the florists grow outdoor Sweet
Peas any more, having found that this
flower will not stand the local conditions.
Such as are offered come from the North.
Our inside Sweet Peas are all gone for
the season. There was some demand for
this flower, but all orders could not be
filled. Carnations are about done for,
selling at from $1 to $3 per 100, accord-
ing to quality.

Merchants Take Boat Ride

Milton Thomas of the Center Mar-
ket, and Milton Redman of the S. S. Pen-
nock store, joined the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association in its annual
excursion down the river. This was a

week-end junket, the first stop being
Jamestown Island where the steamer on
which they were making the cruise passed
through the 677 ships of the United
States Shipping Board tied up at that
place. They then went to Old Point Com-
fort, Newport News and Yorktown. _ At
Newport News they inspected the giant
steamer "Leviathan," and at Yorktown
they visited the Battle Monument, the old-
est courthouse in the United States, and
the Cornwallis cave.

Baltimore merchants are helping local
business men bring pressure to bear upon
Congress to pass a bad cheque law for the
District of Columbia. Such a law has
been passed by both branches of Congress,
but the bill is hanging fire because of the
objections of Sen. King (Dem.) of Utah.
A large business house in Baltimore de-
clares that "Business has been waiting
long and anxiously for results from Con-
gress, but so far they have been rather
meager, and it seems to me that this mat-
ter is in such a condition that it ought
to be possible to pass it without further
delay and add at least one more matter
to the credit side of the Congressional
ledger."

Adolph E. Gude and Mrs. Gude spent
the early part of the week in New York,
where the former visited a number of
supply nouses, placing orders for early de-
livery.

Paul Bauer, son of Otto Bauer, manager
of the S. S. Pennock store, graduated last
week from the Business High School.

A large list of visitors was noted in
Washington last week. Included were:
H A James of C. G. James & Sons, Hor-
riell, N. Y.; E. J. Steele of Steele's Pansy
Gardens, Portland, Ore. ; Mrs. R. E.
Darbee and Master Andrew L. Dar-
bee, San Francisco; Alex G. Sawyer,
Pittsburgh; H. C. Newbrand of Milford,
Conn., representing Roman J. Irwin, New
York, and the Misses Nettie and Ava
Nauman, Paris, Texas.

A Motion Picture Window Feature

William F. Gude, head of the Gude
Bros. Co., is contemplating a new stunt
to advertise through the use of a motion
picture film showing the Gude Bros,
greenhouses and the methods pursued in
the production of flowers. As has been
previously reported, the firm contemplates
removing its business to the adjoining
property. Mr. Gude proposes to have
a screen placed in one of the large show
windows and have the film exhibited for
the benefit of the large numbers of people
that each evening pass the establishment
to and from the theaters. The film has
been shown before a number of local or-
ganizations, and being an industrial pic-
ture created a great deal of interest. Mr.
Gude feels that this will prove a better
advertising proposition, at least for a
limited time, than any other sort of win-
dow display.

The vacation bug has bitten Washing-
ton, and there is a recklessness among
the storekeepers who are anxious to go
out of the city for a change of scene.
Among those who have given way to the
"disease" are George C. Shaffer, who is
spending a couple of weeks in Toronto,
Canada, at the convention of the Kiwanis
Clubs, and Mr. and Mrs. Adolph E. Gude,
who are visitors in New York. Mr. Gude,
who is in charge of the wholesale estab-
lishment of A. Gude Sons Co., visited the
wholesale supply houses in New York
City, placing .orders for stock to be car-
ried in his Washington store.

The writer has seen no reference to the
Boxwood leaf miner in The Exchange and
as subscribers may have this pest without
knowing it. a description and word of
warning may prove timely. It has ap-
peared in the vicinity of Philadelphia, de-
stroying one Boxwood hedge to the writer's
knowledge and disfiguring many others.
Owners of large specimens have been great-
ly exercised over the presence of this pest
which, hidden and feeding under the lower
skin of the leaf, is out of sight and cannot
be reached by the insecticides which usu-
ally prove fatal to such unwelcome in-
vaders.

Whether this pest is related to the Chrys-
anthemum midge or leaf miner which has
been fully described in The Exchange
from time to time, and which florists know
is a mean customer to handle, and requires
a nocturnal attack — the writer has not as-
certained, but its method of working be-
neath the tissue of the leaf is quite sim-
ilar. Affected Boxwood will show a slight
swelling of the leaf (especially on last
year's growth), at this time of the year,
gradually turning brown. If the leaf is
broken crosswise now, the larva, which is
about one-eighth inch long and reddish or-
ange colored, is readily seen with the naked
eye.

The adult fly appears in late May and
lays her eggs in the young leaves. These
hatch in a short time, and the maggots
work in the leaves all Summer and spend
Winter in the pockets of the leaves. The
Bureau of Entomology at Washington rec-
ommends cutting and burning of infested
parts, preferably in Autumn or Winter, and
lTuis prevent emergence of flies that would
reinfect the plants the following Spring.
Spraying the underside of leaves should be
done in Spring and kerosene emulsion or

black sorghum molasses, the latter one
part to three parts water, is advised.

The Government experts suggest adding
three-quarters of a teaspoonful of nico-
tine sulphate to the gallon of water and
molasses, spraying in May or early June
and repeating often enough to keep the
leaves sticky, cautioning against the poison-
ous nature of this spray to persons, espe-
cially children, or to animals that may be
attracted. This is evidently to trap the fly
before it can get in its work of egg laying.

Perhaps our readers can give their ex-
perience with this pest.

Spiraea cantoniensis

Spiraea canton'ensis, or Reevesiana

WE are free to admit that it would be
hard to beat Van Houttei as the
best shrub Spiram. Yet to those who
may tire of the commonness of this favor-
ite, we commend S. cantoniensis, or Reeves-
iana, as it is better known in nursery cata-
logs. Unfortunately, it is not as hardy as
the Van Houttei's Spiraea, and while the
white flower clusters are quite similar in
their arrangement, the sprays are usually
more rigid and a close comparison will
show the florets of Reevesiana to be slight-
ly larger, as so well defined in our illustra-
tion. The leaves of Reevesiana are nar-
rower and longer than S. Van Houttei.
There is also a double variety of Reevesi-
ana which is even more distinct, and it is
this that one should ask for, if an assort-
ment is desired. Recommend any of these
Spiraeas as a shrub companion for the her-
baceous Bleeding Heart (Dicentra or
Dielytra spectabilis) and your customers
will be pleased with the white and pink
display in May.

Propagation of the Spirsea is usually by
hard wood cuttings made in Winter and
stored for lining out in Spring. Soft wood
cuttings in Summer are also possible.

Progress of Nursery Stock Investigations in 1922

Address of L. B. Scott, U. S. Dept. of Agri., before the
Meeting of the American Association of Nursery-
men, Chicago, III., June 26 to 30, 1922

A YEAR ago I outlined briefly some of the things
we were attempting to do in the Nursery Stock
Investigations project. I, therefore, am very
glad to be with you today and report on our progress
up to date.

Two years ago an appropriation of $20,000 for nur-
sery stock investigations was secured and I was
brought back into the Department the fore part of
February, 1921, after a year's absence in commercial
work, and placed in charge of the investigations. As-
sociated with me in the nursery stock work are 6. E.
Yerkes and Charles Swingle, both graduates of the
Kansas Agricultural College ; M. L. Hancock, who will
shortly take charge of the propagation work for the
College of Agriculture of the University of Nanking,
Nanking, China ; and Stanley Johnston, a graduate of
the Michigan Agricultural College.

The appropriation of $20,000 was repeated in the bill
for the present fiscal year and again for the fiscal
year beginning July 1. But with such a small ap-
propriation, it has been necessary for us to plan our
work very carefully, and in fact, as I have said pub-
licly several times, to operate as a small nurservman
and a very small one at that.

Where the Work Is Being Done

Our experimental work this year has been carried
on at three places: Bell, Md., where we have 6y2

acres leased for nursery stock work, and about 4 acres
actually planted ; South Haven, Mich., where our
work on a half acre of ground is carried on coopera-
tively with the Michigan Agricultural Experiment
Station ; and at Diamond Springs, Va., where our
work is carried on on land belonging to the Virginia
Truck Experiment Station.

With work being carried on in at least three loca-
tions where soil conditions and climatic conditions
are very different, we are able to secure a good check
on our work and also to find out whether methods
which seem applicable in one section can be utilized
more or less generally.

Our three main sub-projects can be grouped as fol-
lows: (1) The raising of fruit tree seedlings; (2)
The vegetative propagation of fruit tree stocks; (3)
A comprehensive study of a number of common and
several promising new Rose stocks.

While Apple and Pear seedlings have been raised
in the Kaw valley of Kansas for many years, and
while several millions of seedlings are annually
shipped from that locality, there is a wide range of
opinion among nurserymen regarding them. Some
prefer the Kansas grown, while others prefer the
imported.

Domestic vs. Imported Apple Seedlings

In order to secure some definite information for
ourselves, we purchased one-year-old Apple seedlings
a year ago from a number of different sources and
lined them out in our nursery at Bell. As a result of
one year's observation, it is our opinion that the seed-
lings which made the best growth were (1) American

grown seedlings from American seed; (2) imported
French seedlings; and (3) American-grown seedlings
from French seed.

We are continuing our observations on these seed-
lings for another year at Bell, and in addition have
taken a few hundred trees of each of three different
lots of seedlings for a further test. These were grown
at Hamburg, la., in 1920, and include seedlings from
(1) Vermont seeds, (2) Minnesota seeds, and (3)
French seeds.

From our work up to date, we believe that good
Apple seedlings can be raised in this country, but we
also believe a better seedling can be raised from
American seed than from imported French seed.

Variations in Seedling Varieties

Is there any difference in seedlings raised from our
named American Apple varieties? The answer is
there is a marked difference. For two years we have
had absolute failure in getting a stand of seedlings
from seeds of Baldwin. Seeds of Mcintosh, on the
other hand, produce strong, vigorous seedlings. Seed-
lings of Tolman were particularly outstanding last
year and gave us a high percentage of clean straight
roots.

Should we find that the seedlings of some one va-
riety seem particularly outstanding after a series of
years and seem desirable to use as stock, will it be
practicable for the American Apple seedling grower
to secure that seed in sufficient quantities, and at a
price so that he can handle his seedlings at a fair
profit? I am very frank in saying that we are quite

Establish New Nursery

Contracts have been let lor a large
nursery and greenhouse establishment in
Henderson, N. C. The location is just
adjoining the city limits of Henderson.
Names are at present a mystery, but the
superintendent is reputed to have had
more than 25 years' experience in nursery
and greenhouse work.

The Estate of the Late John Lewis
Childs

In the transfer tax appraisal of the
estate of John Lewis Childs, the noted
florist and naturalist of Floral Park, N.
Y., who died March 5, 1921, it is shown
that Mr. Childs left a net estate of $441,-
821.64, the biggest share of which is in

the stock of the John Lewis Childs Co.
The estate goes entirely to his widow,
Mary Caroline Childs. The company owns
819 acres at Northport, L. I., called Flow-
erfield, which was deeded to the company
in consideration of $125,610.

Mr. ' Childs' books on geology, birds,
snakes, etc., are appraised at $11,500.
Stuffed birds, the collection of which
cost him considerable time and money and
which were priceless to him, are valued
at $7391.40. Minerals and rocks, also col-
lected by him, have a value of $2500 and
several mounted mammals are appraised
at $275.

Remedying an Omission

On page 1585 of our issue of June 24
we reproduced two cuts in connection with
the report of the 19th annual exhibition
of the American Peony Society at London,
Ont., but through an oversight failed to
give detailed descriptions about the sub-
jects shown.

In the cut showing three Peonies, the
one at left, Pride of Essex, has exception-
ally broad petals of deep flesh pink, and
makes a very large flower of good form.
The stems are long and stiff, and this
variety flowers in mid-season. President
Wilson, the variety shown in the center,
is soft rose pink, changing to shell pink
as the flower opens; the guard petals
sometimes show crimson markings. The
center petals are very short, somewhat
laciniated, gradually increasing in length
outward, producing a cuplike effect. This
variety is fragrant and blooms late. So-
lange, the variety shown at the right of
the picture, is one of extra large flowers,
with broad rounded petals of such fine
forai that the flower does not look coarse.
Petals are waxy white, suffused with a
reddish golden light, so that the total ef-
fect is such as may be seen on a cloud at
sunset. One of the very finest varieties;
blooms very late.

In the other illustration is shown a
vase of three flowers of Mr. Thurlow's
Seedling No. 19, which is considered a
dandy. It is rose colored and is very
fragrant.

Florida Asparagus Growers Obtain
Express Rate Reduction

While the Florida State Florists Asso-
ciation is still young in years — not cele-
brating its first birthday until next No-
vember— at least one very important
benefit has already been realized from
this organization, and one which will save
the growers of cut Asparagus sprays for
florists' use many thousands of dollars
each year.

In a recent communication from N. A.
Reasoner, Oneco, Fla., the secretary-
treasurer of the association, he states that
pursuant to the instructions given him
at the Lakeland Convention, he has taken
up the matter of the express rate on As-
paragus shipments with the express of-
ficials and with the State Railroad Com-
mission, and while he has not yet suc-
ceeded in obtaining a reclassification of
this subject in the second class rating,
as he hopes to be able to do, he has at
least succeeded in obtaining a concession
from the Express Company with regard
to a proper allowance when ice is used for
refrigeration. The following letter from
the traffic manager of the American Rail-
way Express Co. will be of interest:

* * * We have given this phase of
the matter further consideration, and
while we cannot see our way clear at this
time to restore the second class rating,
w-e are arranging in our new classification
which will be effective July 15, to make
an allowance of 25 per cent from the
gross weight on these shipments where ice
is necessarily used for preservation. The
weight charged for under this rule must
not, of course, be less than the weight of
the shipment without ice. *■*.*"

Too much credit cannot be given also
to S. S. Pennock, president of the S. A.
F. and O. H., and W. H. Schulz, Jr., sec-
ond vice-president representing the As-
paragus growers in the Florida Associa-
tion, for their valiant assistance in fur-
nishing information and cooperation in
correspondence with the express officials.

While this allowance will be a great
boon to the industry, it is felt by all the
growers that the old second class rating
should be restored as it was formerly,
and there seem to be many reasons to
support their claim.

National Publicity Campaign

Information furnished by John Young,
43 West 18th Street, New York

Baltimore, Md.

It is pleasing to record that quite a
number of subscribers to the Campaign
Fund have, in the last week or so, re-
sponded with cheques covering, the memo-
randums of subscription indebtedness re-
cently sent out from the secretary's office.
Still, very many have not yet responded
to the appeal for immediate payment of
pledges. It should not be necessary to
further remind delinquents that the Pub-
licity Committee needs the money pledged
to them for the carrying on of the cam-
paign. Progress is made only in pro-
portion to the funds available, and unless
sufficient money is in hand to cover ad-
vertising contracts at the time they should
be made the committee is sadly handi-
capped, and much of its work goes for
nothing.

Among the subscriptions recorded at
this time, it is pleasing to note one of
$500 from Bassett & Washburn of Chica-
go, who have the success of the campaign
very much at heart; another of $200
from J. P. Wilcox & Sons, Council Bluffs,
Iowa.; and still others of $100 each from

The Market

July 27. — On Wednesday and
Thursday of last week the demand for
flowers for the two big high school com-
mencements was exceptionally good. In
fact there was a shortage all along the
line and a general cleanup of everything
suitable for bouquets or baskets.

This week the market opened up in
good shape, with more stock, and a fair
demand. Koses are still coming ; there
is no shortage this week and the stock
looks better. There are some fair Car-
nations arriving. Local Gladioli are
more plentiful and the flowers are of ex-
cellent quality, the top price being $1.50
per doz.

Orchids are equal to all demands.
Sweet Peas are small and poor as a
rule. The local Valley is about over.
There is plenty of early white Hydran-
geas in the market, but most of the
hardy perennials are over. There is an
oversupply of Southern Asparagus
sprays.

News Notes

Wm. F. Keys, Jr., has bought
back the old home place and greenhouses
on Maple ave. at Overlea, formerly owned
by his father, from Frank J. Riha, and
will move his family out about July 15.
The property consists of six acres of
land, with three greenhouses, each 100ft.
x30ft. and two modern dwellings. Mr.
Keys will conduct the greenhouses in
connection with his two retail stores and
plant this year mostly Carnations, Sweet
Peas, Callas. He will grow a line of
Christmas and Easter plants, too.

Henry J. Betz has a big acreage of
Dahlias planted this year.

Mr. Quinn, of the Seed & Implement
Co., reports excellent Spring business.
The firm will handle a full line of Hol-
land bulbs this Fall, and probably push
two days of fern sales during September.

Joseph S. Merritt is busily engaged in
shipping Pink Radiance Roses (3in. pot
stock) to out-of-town customers. He re-
ports that his field Rose plants for next
year are growing nicely.

Robert L. Graham furnished the deco-
rations for the 125th anniversary of the
Grand Chapter of Masons of Maryland
held at the Masonic Temple on Friday.
The rooms were finished to give a June
garden effect, with picket fences, posts
and all. Rambler Roses, red and white
Hollyhocks, red Gladioli and huge stems
of flowering Yucca, together with im-
mense quantities of Oak foliage were
used in this classy decoration.

The F. T. D. general committee met
at the office of Vice-President Chas. F.
Feast on Monday with all chairmen of
committees answering the roll call. Much
satisfactory advance work is being done
and plans are rapidly rounding into
shape. The next regular meeting will be
held July 10.

The Leo Niessen Co. will discontinue
its Baltimore branch permanently on
July 1. It is with surprise that we
learn this, and we hear nothing but ex-
pressions of genuine regret on all sides,
from growers and retailers alike. The
firm opened here in Sept. 1913 and
through untiring efforts and good sound
business methods, coupled up with a
service rarely attained by the average
business concern, it won its way to the
confidence and respect of the entire flo-
rist's community. Wm. E. McKissick,
who has been with the firm as manager
ever since the opening, will leave for a
six weeks' vacation early next week, and
return to Baltimore before the Fall sea-
son opens. His loyalty and conscieutious
endeavor in the joint interests of his firm
and his customers have won him a place
among the florists of Baltimore that can-
not be easily filled. His many friends
wish him unbounded success in whatever
field of endeavor he may engage.

S. S. Pennoek was in town on Mon-
day, returning to Philadelphia the same
day.

Alexander McCormick died on Friday
morning, June 23, at his home in Raspe-
burg, Md. He was one of the best
known and highly respected men in Bal-
timore County, having been engaged in
the florist and gardening business since
1871. He was for over 20 years presi-
dent of the Baltimore County Fair Asso-
ciation and the founder of that institu-
tion.

B. L. Gardner, of Fullerton, Md., has
a late crop of fine indoor Sweet Peag
that he is shipping to Wm. F. Ekas.

George Schmeiser met with a serious
accident on the Annapolis blvd., just out-
side of Wm. G. Lehr's gate, on Friday
last. The young man has been in Mr.
Lehr's employ for some years and was
leaving to take the course of floral in-
struction at Max Schling's school in
New York. His motorcycle was struck
in the rear by a big touring car, and he
was picked up unconscious and sent to
the Maryland General Hospital. On
Tuesday he was reported to be doiug as
well as could be expected. R. H.

Pittsburgh, Pa.

The business the past week was some-
what better than that previous, with a
better demand and a shortened supply,
which caused prices to hold firm and en-
able the wholesale houses to effect a
cleanup on Saturday, with the exception
of some Delphinium and Coreopsis. The
supply has shortened up considerably, es-
pecially Roses and Carnations, both of
which are of good quality and cleaning
up daily.

Weddings and commencements seemed
to form the bulk of the business, with a
funeral now and then.

Delphinium is a big factor in the mar-
ket at present and is being used exten-
sively by the retailers in all kinds of
work. Lilies are scarce and are bringing
more money than they have at any time
since Easter.

The supply of Gladioli is increasing and
it will not be long until this popular flow-
er will be the backbone of the market.
Lily of the Valley has had quite a call
and at times there was not enough to
supply the demand.

Baby's Breath, Gaillardia, Coreopsis,
Larkspur and Achillea are being received
in quantity and find a place in most re-
tailers' ice boxes. Outdoor Sweet Peas
are to be had at reasonable prices.

Here and There

A severe hailstorm visited the
North Boroughs on June 17, but, with the
exception of the Blind Floral Co., who
lost about a thousand lights of glass, lit-
tle damage was done.

The McCallum Co. is installing a new
refrigeration plant at their greenhouses
at Evans City, Pa., and when completed
it will give them one of the most uptodate
grading and cold storage rooms in the
country.

Mr. McCauslin of Huscroft'e Flower
Store of Steubenville, Ohio., was a recent
visitor. He states that business has been
very good and that they are adding to
their already large area of glass this sea-
son.

It is with regret that we report the
death of Chal. Peterson of East Liver-
pool, Ohio. Mr. Peterson was one of the
pioneers of the business and has been lo-
cated at East Liverpool for a great many
years. He had been ailing for a long time,
and had been practically bedridden for
several years, so that his death was not
unexpected by his family and close
friends.

The Pittsburgh Florists and Gardeners
Club is making arrangements for its an-
nual picnic some time in August. Place
not determined as yet.

This section came near having frost on
Thursday night, June 22. The official re-
port was 49 degrees, but others reported
as low as 34 degs. E. C. Tipton.

Horticultural Society's Show

The annual June show held on the
21st and 22d was smaller than usual,
but the quality of the exhibits was fully
up to the usual standard, and the at-
tendance was better than usual.

Many classes were listed, but there
was very little competition ; consequent-
ly the judges had an easy time. Taken
altogether a very interesting display was
got together.

An innovation in the form of a table
for the sale of cut flowers, in charge of
a committee of young ladies, was well
patronized, the proceeds going to one of
the young people's organizations of the
church.

A collection of about 70 kinds of na-
tive wild flowers attracted about as much
attention as the finest Roses. And never
before were there so many specimen
plants — even of weeds brought in for
naming, which was done. One member
brought in a branch of a Grape vine in
blossom bearing only staminate flowers

for which coudition no explanation could
be given.

"Mrs. Lloyd George" Wins Medal

Sweet Pea Mrs. David Lloyd
George, grown by Wm. G. Taylor, won
the society's silver medal as the best in-
troduction of 1922. This is a light pink
with yellow shadings.

Fred P. Webber showed a tiny plant
of a seedling Rose in bloom from Trier
from seed sown in Dec, 1921, thus show-
ing what can be done in a few months.

William Gray, gardener for Princess
Christopher of Greece at her place here
staged some of the finest Roses and
Sweet Peas seen, taking first with his
table of the latter and seven other firsts
and a second.

William G. Taylor won in class 56,
showing Mrs. C. P. Tomlin. The flowers
were inferior in size to those staged by
Mr. Gray, but were in perfect condition.
He also took praetcially all the firsts in
the amateur classes, his flowers being in
splendid condition considering the rainy
weather experienced just prior to the
show.

Andrew Dorward was first with a col-
lection of Roses showing some fine sam-
ples of up-to-date varieties.

James Robertson led with H. P. Roses.

In the H. T. classes William Gray set
up some fine vases with nine blooms in
each, winning firsts in five classes.

Roses in other classes that were meri-
torious and worthy of mention, were as
follows: Climbing Rose "Paul's Scarlet
Climber" was the brightest bit of color
in the show ; it is a gem. Zephrine
Drouhin, a thornless climber, is a beau-
tiful pure rose pink, delightfully fra-
grant ; an improvement over Climbing
American Beauty. For this James
Hooper, grower, was awarded a certifi-
cate. A single Rose of deep crimson is
"Red Letter Day," a name easy to re-
member; the form and foliage is distinc-
tive.

Other good ones in the H. T. class
were Mrs. A. R. Waddell, Konigin, Ca-
rola, George C. Wand and Radiance.

James Hooper, chairman, gardener on
the Mrs. Theodore K. Gibbs estate,
staged a large table of cut blooms of
climbing Roses. It was noted that the
well-known Dorothy Perkins is not yet
in bloom.

President Dorward, of the Mrs. T. J.
Emery estate, filled one end of the hall
with a comprehensive display of cut
blooms of hardy herbaceous flowers.

The Mrs. Auchincloss place (Arthur
Potter, gdr. ), also made a good show-
ing ; among its exhibits were well grown
standard Geraniums.

Richard Gardner managed the show,
and the judges were John B. Urquhart,
Alexander MacLellan, and John T. Al-
len.

Horticultural Society Meeting

The regular meeting was held on
the 27th inst. The awards made at the
show were approved and ordered paid.

A vase of Rose Ophelia grown in the
open from plants started a year ago and
worked on the Manetti stock was shown
by William Gray of such quality that
a cultural certificate was awarded, also
a gratuity of $3.

It was voted to hold a ball in Septem-
ber, and the executive committee was
given full power to make all arrange-
ments.

There was a discussion of the ques-
tion of making medal awards to exhibits
shown for the first time, the general
opinion being that no medal should be
made until a second presentation of the
plant or flower ; also, preferably, that
such plants as flowers should be seen
growing in the field.

Business Opening Up

Wadley & Smythe have opened up
as usual at the Newport Casino entrance.
There appears to be no great rush as
yet. Still there have been some June
weddings, which have helped out.

Danziger Estate Sold

P. D. Barnhart writes from Los An-
geles that the Danziger estate, which
contains a collection of plants from all
parts of the globe has been sold for
$2,000,000 to a syndicate of wealthy men
who will subdivide the property and es-
tablish a sumptuous club of happiness.

Mrs. Danziger, a true patron of the
art of gardening, has bought a new place
within the city limits which she will de-
velop into another bower of beauty.

The Week's Meetings and Exhibitions

July 5 to 7. — Texas State Florists Association. An-
nual meeting at Dallas. Texas.

Here it is the end of June -when, presumably, the
world is becoming smothered in blossoms — yet from
such central points as Washington and New York
come reports of distinct shortages and exceedingly
brisk demands in the fldwer markets. In the latter
case, at least, a series of severe wind and rain storms
that have bothered the outdoor stock has been an
important factor in keepiug up the call for green-
house materials. Another striking illustration, one
might say, of the old proverb, "It's an ill wind, etc."

Remember what was said in a recent retail article
about the beneficial effect of the home culture of gar-
den flowers upon the geueral demand for florists'
stock and the flower business generally? Well, if you
are still sceptical on the point turn to the Kansas
City newsletter in this issue and see how closely its
statements coincide with and support our claims. As
a matter of fact they go further and introduce a
couple of additional arguments, namely : That the
people who most enjoy their garden flowers are most
loath to pick them and therefore tend to buy when
they want blooms. And, second, that however fine
their flowers, they are not ordinarily prepared or
fitted to make them into finished floral tributes for
gifts. Consequently, as one correspondent remarks :
"The people who have the most flowers in their lawns
are in many cases those who spend the most money
with florists."

Always "The Old Order Changeth"-
But How Soon ?

In the same issue of the World's Work Magazine
in which appears an editorial on Quarantine 37 which
we reproduce in another column, there appears, by
interesting coincidence as it were, an editorial com-
ment on the impending tariff in the light of larger eon
siderations of world, rather than merely national or
local, scope. As we have pointed out in previous is-
sues there is a peculiar resemblance between the pro-
posed Forduey Tariff Bill and Qu. 37 as now ad-
ministered, especially as regards the criticisms that
are being directed against both from divers and
steadily increasing sources.

The World's Work "editorial interpretation" says,
for instance :

"A tariff policy, for example, that is predicated
upon an assumption that 'infant industries' must
be protected is now an absurdity. So, too, is a
tariff policy which ignores the effect of restric-
tive legislation upon the freedom of international
exchanges of manufactured goods. Indeed, most
of our traditional policies of government need to
be re-examined in the light of this change in the
facts of our own life. Our policy of isolation, our
policy of non-participation in European affairs,
our immigration policy, our colonial policy, these
and more must be reviewed and recast." [The
italics are ours.]

And if this is true of a tariff policy asknowledged
to be such, is it not equally true of a tariff policy
that masquerades — whether by intent or circumstance
— in the guise of a plant protective system? Can we
not, should we not, add to the items which we are
told above must be "reviewed and recast," our pres-
ent policy of plant exclusion as conceived executed
and defended by the F. H. B.?

The Seed Trade Convention at Keai Success

The faictors that make or mar a. trade' con.TO-ntio.ni
are both: ircte-rnal and external.. Last week: ait Chi-
cago,, the- externals appear to hatve- been, completely
and. unanimously favorable to the meeting of the
American. Seed; Trade Association. That is-, the- weaith-
er, the hotel accommodations, the' entertainment fea-
tures, etc:, all were in the highest degree- comfortable-,
enjoyable; pleasing.

But more important than this, the internals were
also of the best, by which we mean. that, there- was a
big. turnout of active seedsmen ; that enthusiasm,
sound optimism and good business sense- were- ahuml-
antly in evidence ; that there was an. obvious- deter-
mination to benefit from the gathering in. every pos-
sible way ; and that the addresses and reports were-
characterized by sound thinking, careful analysis of
existing situations, and a desire to keep- the- alreajdy
high standards of the A. S. T. A. steadily on. the up-
grade.

Conseqjn-ently it is not surprising — though: no> less
creditable- to the seedsmen — to report that on the
whole their- convention was a big success, Especially
notable and commendable was the cordial spirit of mu-
tual respect and understanding that now seems to
conneet the- members of the trade- with the official
seed analysts and other' scientific workers whose
work is so elosely related to that of the- comme-rcial
interests. It is always a sign of progress and growth
when practical and technical men get together on a
common ground and Strive to discover and coordi-
nate means of promoting the general welfare- and. in-
cidentally their mutual gain.

Finally, there is continued augury for- success and
advancement in the personnel of the- officers who are
to guide the course of the association, for- the com-
ing year. Under such able leadership, with such wor-
thy motives and objectives, with such efficient and
uptodate measures and systems in its program, this
national body of seedsmen who play such an impor-
tant part in the country's productive life, seems des-
tined for another era of accomplishment and success.

A Recommendation That We Heartily
Recommend

A year or two ago The Exchange broached the
subject of an American Chamber of Horticulture and
at various times thereafter presented the arguments
that occurred to it in behalf of such an institution.
Finding the trade disinclined to give the matter
more than passing attention, we came to the con-
clusion that there was too much waste motion in
pounding away at an iron before it had become even
moderately warm — even though we believed and con-
tinue to believe that the idea will ultimately bear
highly valuable fruit.

We are interested and encouraged to find, there-
fore, among the "specific recommendations" included
in the report of the Committee on Standardization
of Trade Practice prepared for the recent convention
of the American Association of Nurserymen, this
paragraph :

"5. Earnest consideration on the matter of es-
tablishing an 'American' or 'National Horticul-
tural Chamber of Commerce,' with representa-
tives from all horticultural interests, amateur
and professional, to consider horticultural prac-
tice along the above lines with suitable sub-com-
mittee. Such a Council might assume the duties
of the Joint National Committee on Standardiza-
tion of Horticultural Trade Practice in our sec-
ond recommendation. Such a National Council
or Chamber would represent all American horti-
cultural interests in matters of legislation, trans-
portation, etc.

"One of the greatest difficulties in carrying out
uniform trade practice in the* horticultural world
is the fact that different horticultural interests
such as nurserymen, florists, seedsmen, market
gardeners, fruit growers, landscape gardeners,
park officials and many others, have been work-
ing thoughtlessly or selfishly along their own
particular lines, and mutual interests even if
comprehended have been ignored."
At this writing we do not know whether the above
recommendation was acted upon or not, or how,
But we welcome it; wish it well; and pass it along
as another step in a campaign to which we are com-
mitted and which we are heartily anxious to pro-
mote.

Thirty-eighth Annual Coraventiora, Kansas
City, Mo., August 15 to 17, 1922

The Kansas City Convention

Arrangements for the 1922 Convention of the So-
ciety, to be held in Kansas City, Aug. 15, 16 and 17,
are rapidly approaching completion, and a most suc-
cessful gathering is looked for. The convention is
to be housed in one of the finest buildings in the
country adapted for such purposes — Convention Hall,
located at the corner of 13th. St., and Central ave. The
building is replete with conveniences, and will pro-
vide for both meetings and trade- exhibition.

Railroad Arrangements
As previously announced, all members will be able
to travel to Kansas City with the advantage of a
rate of one fare and a half for the round trip on the
certificate plan. To add still further to conveniences
in this direction the secretary has arranged with the
trunk line associations for the -privilege of sending
certificates in advance to every member of the society,
so that personal applications for them need not be
made. These certificates are- all numbered and re-
corded, so as to render them traceable in the event
that they are used by others than members of the
society, the reduced fares applying only to bona fide
members of the society.

The Trade Exhibition

Already about 55 exhibitors have made reservations
of space in the trade exhibition, and many prospec-
tive exhibitors are in correspondence with the secre-
tary's office in regard to space. It looks as though
every foot of available space will be taken up.

The Kansas City brethren are well organized, and
have about eighteen committees working upon local
details of arrangements, and the resulting plans for
the comfort and convenience of visitors will shortly
be announced. Without doubt, the attendance will
be of record character.

Membership Dues

Recently, from the secretary's office, bills were
mailed to all members in arrears for dues, and these
members are urged to make prompt remittances. The
society is in need of these funds, as they are applied
wholly to the expenses of the society, which, neces-
sarily, are quite large. Immediately ou receipt of
cheques for dues, membership cards are issued to those
sending them, which must be presented by all in at-
tendance at the Convention. John Young,

Secretary.

Kansas City Committees at Work

Exhibition and Entertainment

Experience of some recent national and interna-
tioual conventions in Kansas City is guiding the local
committees in making some of the detailed arrange-
ments for the S. A. F. and O. H. meeting in August.

It has appeared that visitors to conventions this
year come chiefly for work, and that they are inclined
to make the trip and the days spent here yield them
a maximum of real benefit for their business. There-
fore, while as much entertainment will be piled up as
can be squeezed into the time allotted for it, even the
entertainment will, so far as possible, l>e made to
contribute to the practical advantages of the conven-
tion and the visit to Kansas City.

Particular care is being taken that provision be
made for adequate attention to exhibits. For it has
been observed in other industries and professions,
which have been the subjects of international or na-
tional conventions using Convention Hall this year,
that "the state of the art" is searched for by visitors
in the exhibits, whereby the practical ideas gained
in convention sessions can promptly be fixed in mind
and weighed as to practicability. The large experi-
ence of the Chamber of Commerce and the Convention
Hall authorities, in assisting in such events, is useful
for guidance as to these features.

Another element where entertainment is being made
to serve practical purposes is iu the provisions for
visits to local greenhouses and nurseries. It is ex-
pected that many visitors will want to see the work
being done here, which in some cases is novel, and
from which good ideas can ibe secured for applying to
other local situations, and to one's own business. The
automobile committee will have cars available for
this service.

One of the new committees appointed by the local
Florists Club to further the convenience of visitors
and serve them practically is an "Information Com-
mittee." This is composed largely of the younger
members of the club. They will assist all committees,

The Florists' Exchange

gathering- data needed for their preliminary work,
and carrying out ideas tor service of visitors which
these committees may originate. The Information
Committee will be at the call of visitors to give sug-
gestions on local features which they may desire to
get into touch with.

Not only will the Information Committee help to
show the florists and horticulturists around town and
direct them to places which they may want to visit
for business ideas, but the members will help visitors
in their finding of the stores and shops where they
may purchase articles needed, and to points of spe-
cial interest that have no business significance. There
are dozens of little services which this committee will
be in a position to perform to enable the visitors to
get the largest possible good and pleasure from the
Kansas City convention.

William L. Rock, chairman of the General Com-
mittee of the K. C. F. C. has appointed another com-
mittee, known as the Advisory Committee, which will
Tiave oversight of the entire local planning, and direct
the work of the various committees on specific sub-
jects. W. J. Barnes is chairman of this Advisory Com-
mittee, of which .Samuel Murray, vice-president of the
S. A. F. and O. H., and Mr. Rock, are members. The
Advisory Committee is holding meetings every week,
and receiving reports from the other committees,
thereby seeing to it that every detail is being given
proper consideration, and that all the phases of the
preliminary work are being carried out.

Each of the committees is also holding weekly ses-
sions while developing its outline of duties, and get-
ting its projects under way.

The Entertainment Committee has announced that
the president's reception, to be held at the Muehle-
bach. is to be an informal affair, so that visitors may
attire themselves comfortably and really enjoy it as
an event in which the acquaintance of those attend-
ing is to be promoted.

The Program Committee has reported that it will
fill in all spare moments when a little entertainment
can be provided, as well as arranging one or two
definite events for play. The main program of the
convention is issued through the secretary of the
S. A. F.

The Membership Committee is in two sections. One
section is composed of men who travel the territory,
and who will promote the attendance at the conven-
tion. The other section will work in Kansas City.
Both sections will seek members for the S. A. F. and
O. H., and they will also boost for the national pub-
licity fund.

The Sports Committee will look after this feature
for both men and women, planning the bowling and
other events, and for whatever sports events the
auxiliary may desire. The local florists are practicing
up this Summer, and will offer strong contest to vis-
iting talent. Golfers may, it has been suggested, wish
a tournament, and Mr. Rock is personally planning to
care for this contingent should a tournament be de-
sired.

The Transportation Committee will provide traffic
information for exhibitors and will assist them in the
handling of their displays, having information avail-
able as to sources of materials or help desired, and
will line up such help so that no time will be lost
seeking it.

F. T. D. Committee

A special committee, consisting of Miller Carter
and Rush L. Motes, has been appointed to cooperate
locally for the Florists' Telegraph Delivery meeting
that is being planned for the S. A. F. convention pe-
riod.

K. C. Club Discusses Convention

The coming convention was the chief subject dis-
cussed at the June session of the Kansas City Florists
Club. The largest attendance in several months was
present at this meeting, reflecting the interest in the
convention, and the willingness of those present to
cooperate with actual work. The number so far co-
operating is not large — apparently most of the hard
work is done by a few in any organization. The "war
horses" who are doing the tasks now are the same
who have carried through to marked success the
other significant projects of the Florists Club. So the
Kansas City organization is not depending on num-
bers to make the plans successful. But it is seeking
numbers to demonstrate Kansas City's appreciation
ol the opportunity to entertain the convention Start-
ing with the last week in June, a special group is
going out after members for the local club, hoping to
build up a large membership, both to facilitate en-
tertainment and service to visitors and to enable the
industry m Kansas City to get the maximum value
Irom the convention. B S B

F. H. B. Operations Called "Shameful Record of Usur-
pation, Favoritism, and Arbitrary Abuse of Power"

Prior to the quarantine conference on May 15, the
Federal Horticultural Board consistently exhibited a
marked indifference to criticism, an almost surpris-
ing complacency under indictments of discrimination,
unnecessary severity, inconsistency, etc. Perhaps this
attitude was due to the fact that these criticisms came
from the ranks of the horticultural interests and to
the assumption on the part of the Board that so long as
it could get its arguments before the public in gen-
eral, through the medium of the Department of Agri-
culture's press service, it did not much matter what a
few "importers and brokers" and an occasional mis-
informed and therefore prejudiced amateur gardener
might think or say.

During the course of the conference (whatever the
subsequent Department reports may have said and
implied) the F. H. B. was at times obviously on the
defensive: and as far as the question of legality
raised by Mr. MeFarland is concerned, it is still in
that position and will remain so until judgment is
rendered by competent legal authority beyond which
there is no appeal. Presumably, however, the Board's
trip to California and the general meed of praise
and commendation it received there, was most re-
freshing and strengthening; we can visualize the
Board returning from its trip of inspection with any
possible doubts of its wisdom and efficiency dispelled,
basking in the endorsement of the growers whose
business its edicts are fostering, with all its old con-
victions and opinions renewed and reinforced.

Well, we are inclined to think it will need all the
convictions and complacency, all the endorsements
. and encouragement, all the finesse and argument it
can accumulate — and then some — to meet the latest
indictment that has materialized in the form of an
editorial that appears on pages 243 and 244 in the
current (July) issue of the World's Work magazine.

Here is a concise, comprehensive, scathing arraign-
ment that ignores all matters of mere detail, all as-
pects that come under the head of technical horticul-
ture, even the international complications about which
one might expect to find such a journal concerned,
and brings into play simply the single but tremen-
dously significant denunciation that the Department
of Agriculture, through its "irresponsible board of
bureaucrats" has "arrogated to itself the legislative
powers of Congress." Here is aii indictment, spoken
in no uncertain tones by a voice of unquestioned emi-
nence, that will reach the people at large, and that
will call for something more than a superficial ex-
planation, a repetition of specious arguments already
worn threadbare, or the even more popular policy of
supercilious indifference.

With the permission of the World's Work we pre-
sent its editorial herewith ; it is quite possible that
it would interest your representatives at Washington :

Bureaucratic Usurpation Under Quarantine

The most perfect fruit of the bureaucratic idea in gov-
ernment seems, appropriately enough, to have burgeoned
and blossomed in the Federal Horticultural Board in the
Department of Agriculture at Washington. This Board
was erected under the provisions of the Act of Aug. 20,
1912, familiarly known as the Plant Quarantine Act. The
intention of that Act was praiseworthy; it was designed
to provide means to prevent the introduction from abroad
of horticultural diseases and injurious insects, "new to or
not theretofore widely prevalent" in the United States.
To accomplish this purpose, the Act authorized the Sec-
retary of Agriculture to declare a quarantine against
the importation of any kind of plant life from any
country where such diseases or insects exist, only re-
quiring him to specify the country and locality and the
class of plants which, in his opinion, should be excluded.

The intent of this Act is so plain a child can perceive
it. This intent is that the Secretary of Agriculture,
through his expert Horticultural Board, shall declare
that chestnut blight, for example, exists in China and is
being brought into the United States on chestnut tree
seedlings from the province of Hunan, and that therefore
chestnut seedlings shall be excluded until Hunan eradi-
cates its blight.

But observe what the bureaucratic mind does with this
explicit and limited grant of authority. Seven years of
gestation in the mushroom caves of an obscure office in
Washington produces an unrecognizable flowering of this
original idea in the form of Quarantine No. 37, dated
June 1, 1919, which declares that "there exist in Europe,
Asia, Africa, Central and South America, and other-
foreign countries and localities," diseases and insects of a
dangerous character, and the notice thereupon proceeds
to issue a blanket quarantine against all kinds of plant
life from all those countries and from "any other foreign
locality or country!" In other words, Quarantine No. 37
declares that the whole world outside the United States

is a horticultural pest-house, and closes the doors against
all importations of plants from them.

Against all importations — except. Exceptions are ' al-
lowed, but only upon express permission of the Federal
Horticultural Board in every case. In other words, by
an ingenious blanket order, this Board has taken the
entire operation of a Federal law, affecting an industry
involving half a billion dollars a year, out of the field of
natural economic flow and has placed its every act in the
control of an irresponsible board of bureaucrats con-
sisting of six scientific specialists. A more violent per-
version of the plain intent of a law would be difficult to
find.

But this is not all, nor yet the worst. Recalling that
the intent of the law was to prevent the introduction
of specific pests from specific localities, observe -what the
Federal Horticultural Board now conceives its function
to be. In an official pronouncement, issued in May of this
year, the Board declares that "the general principle
underlying Quarantine 37 is as rapidly as possible to
make this country independent of foreign supplies with
the object of ultimately reaching a condition where entry
of foreign plants will be limited to new plants and to
such plants as are not capable of production in the United
States." In other words a Board, erected to act as health
officer against the introduction of foreign plant disease,
has by bureaucratic fiat declared its duty to be to foster
"home industry" and practically to erect an invisible
tariff wall against all foreign plants. An exactly analo-
gous case would be for the Commissioner of Immigration
to declare a quarantine against the entry of all aliens,
except those whom at his whim he decided to admit, on
the ground that he wished to protect American workmen
from the competition of foreign labor. There is exactly
as much warrant in the one case as in the other for the
assumption of powers never granted by Congress, and
never by any stretch of the imagination intended to be
granted.

Space forbids the recital of the actual operations of
the Federal Horticultural Board under Quarantine 37.
It is a shameful record of usurpation, favoritism, and
arbitrary abuse of power. If Congress has any self re-
spect, it will take exemplary measures with this Board,
which has arrogated to itself the legislative powers of
Congress. Summary dismissal of its members from the
government service would be a needed notice to other
departments and bureaus to keep their lawful place. The
general public, too, should realize, from this example, the
dangers of yielding to the Federal Government the con-
trol of other functions (education, social welfare, aud the
like) which inevitably will be ultimately controlled by
the bureaucratic mind, of which the Federal Horticultural
Board is a type.

Meeting of the American Sweet Pea Society

Wm. A. Sperling presided at the meeting of the
American Sweet Pea Society which was held in Horti-
cultural Hall on June 24. In his opening address he
expressed himself as very well satisfied with the
present status of the society and its affairs and
voiced his belief that the society is steadily forging
ahead and is recognized as the mainstay of all the in-
terests connected with the culture and advancement
of the Sweet Pea. Outside of the secretary's report
and the statement of the treasurer, which showed
a balance on hand of $446.34, there was no business
to be transacted except the election of officers for
the present year. The secretary was empowered to
cast one ballot for the re-election of all the present
officers. After choosing Boston as the place where
the meeting and exhibition of 1923 is to be held, the
meeting was adjourned.

Alexander Whittet

Alexander Whittet, florist, died of pneumonia, the
morning of June 9, at his home, 31 Wentworth ave.,
Lowell, Mass. He was born in Perthshire, Scotland,
in 1843, and came to this country as a young man.
He established the firm of Whittet & Co., florists and
seedsmen, located at 293 Central st., Lowell. He is
survived by two sons, Charles A. of San Gabriel,
Calif, and William D. of Lowell, two sisters, and
one brother, James Whittet, also of Lowell.

The Florists' Exchange

New York Flower Show Committee Dines

To sit down to a dinner with old friends, enjoy
their social conversation, and a first class menu, is
always an eminently satisfactory performance. Who
can deny it? But to sit down to a dinner with gen-
tlemen—old friends, too— who have but recently con-
cluded a successful campaign, bringing honor not
onlv on themselves, but on their city and the indus-
try* they represent— in this case, floriculture— makes
for decidedly a distinct and memorable occasion.

So it was on the evening of June 21, when at the'
Hotel Biltmore, twenty men sat down together at a
round table laden with the best this famous hostelry
could afford. The banquet was under the direct
management of A. L. Miller of Jamaica and Fred
W Payne of the International Exposition Co., and
certainly, never was one better served or more gener-
ally enjoyed. While the meal was everything one could
desire it was not so important a feature of the even-
ing as was the opportunity for the informal mingling
of these gentlemen of the New York Flower Show
Committee, the majority present having been con-
nected with and directly responsible for the really
startling success of the greatest and best of all the
great flower shows— that of 1922— given in the Grand
Central Palace.

And because it was so justifiably earned, this par-
ticular banquet was that much more enjoyable.

Not a word of boasting or self praise fell from
the lips of any of these gentlemen ; the undercurrent
was simply one of satisfaction that the big show had
capped all its predecessors in point of attendance and
in its financial outcome. Right here, for the benefit
of those who are not in a position to see below the
surface, let it be known that were it not for the un-
remitting and devoted attention given by this com-
mittee to the business of the flower show in present
and past years, the progressive results achieved to
date might not have resulted in such a chronicling
of success piled upon success.

Engineering a big show is not a task to be lightly
entered upon. It involves careful study of ways and
means, so the experience gained from year to year
by this committee is a decided asset. And because the
majority of the flower show committee have become
veterans in the game, many having served on it con-
tinuously since its inception, and, further, because
these men have given the best that was in them, the
city they represent occupies premier place in staging
flower shows which, year after year, increase in
popular favor.

So, because all had ended well, this committee reun-
ion was rendered just that much the more enjoyable.
Naturally, the principal conversation and discussion
bore entirely on the forthcoming 1023 show, now to be
undertaken. Those interested can rest assured that
the committee has by no means gone asleep, but, on
the contrary, that it will exert every effort to make
the 1923 show grander and better in every respect
if human endeavor can bring this about.

A pleasant feature of the evening was when Fred-
eric R. Newbold handed John Young, secretary of the
New York Florists Club, a cheque for $6000, represent-
ing the money accruing to the credit of that club. An
equal amount was paid over to the Horticultural So-
ciety of New York.

Those present: T. A. Havemeyer, Frederic R. New-
bold, F. W. Payne, F. H. Traendly, A. L. Miller, John
Young, A. M. Henshaw, W. R. Pierson, F. R. Pierson,
Fred L. Atkins, I. S. Hendrickson, Arthur Herrington,
John G. Scheepers, C. H. Totty, Jos. Manda, James
Stuart, John Canning, Edw. W. Korbel, Worth Col-
well and A. T. De La Mare.

The Rose exhibits were fairly numerous, as were
also those of a number of other flowers.

There can be no doubt but that the unusual weath-
er conditions which have prevailed this year are
greatly responsible for the lack of competition, as
far as Sweet Peas are concerned. The extreme heat
of a few weeks ago was not conducive to the growth
of Sweet Peas in general, and much less to the pro-
duction of show flowers. And, to make a bad situa-
tion worse, the violent storms and excessive rains
during the last two weeks almost ruined all hopes
of making any exhibits at all. In spite of all these
drawbacks, the greater part of Sweet Peas shown dis-
played excellent color and form and, while the length
of stem did not come up to expectations, or to that
seen at some of the former shows, it passed muster
quite creditably.

The Hutchins Memorial Cup and the W. Atlee
Burpee Co.'s Trophy Cup were awarded to Giraud
Foster, "Belief on taine," Lenox, Mass. (Edwin Jen-
kins, gardener), for the finest 12 distinct varieties,
20 sprays to a vase, correctly named. The following
varieties formed the exhibit : Daisy K. Elliott, Ravens-
wing, Cecily, Floradale (purple), Hebe, R. F. Felton,
Felton's Cream, Rose Elliott, Constance Hinton, Alex.
Malcolm, Mrs. Tom Jones and Mascott's Ingmau.
These were notably well grown flowers of fine form
and brilliant color. The stems were the best seen
at this exhibition.

Mrs. Homer Gage, Shrewsbury. Mass., (Allen J.
Jenkins, gardener) took first prize for six distinct va-
rieties, 20 sprays to a vase, with Constance Hin-
ton, Alex. Malcolm, Floradale (purple), Mascott's
Ingman, Felton's Cream and Hebe.

H. R. M. Princess Christopher of Greece (Wm.
Gray, gardener) was awarded Peter Henderson & Co.'s
prize for 50 sprays of mixed Spencer Sweet Peas,
containing six or more varieties. This was a most
creditable exhibit. First prize also for 20 sprays
of any dark maroon variety, with Warrior.

Mrs. Homer Gage was first with R. F. Felton for'
a vase of 25 Spencer Sweet Peas (lavender), R. & J.
Farquhar & Co.'s prize.

Amateur Classes

Wm. G. Taylor took first prize for three vases, three
varieties, 15 sprays to a vase, with Grant White;
P. G. Forbes was second with Hinton.

Wm. G. Taylor, Newport, R. I., received first prize
for 15 sprays in the following colors : White, with
Constance Hinton ; also second prize with Hinton.
Pink, Hawlmark Pink; also second with Elfrieda Pier-
son. Any other color, with Floradale, purple ; also
second with Barbara. Any novelty, with Mrs. D.
Lloyd George. Lavender, with R. F. Felton ; P. G.
Forbes, Worcester, Mass., was second with R. F. Fel-
ton.

Wm. G. Taylor also received a gratuity for an ex-
tra large and fine general display of many sorts of
Sweet Peas.

Massachusetts Horticultural Society Show

The large hall was occupied to one-half of its ca-
pacity by a non-competitive display of late blooming
Peonies from T. C. Thurlow's Sons, Cherry Hill Nur-
series, West Newbury, Mass. Considering the lateness
of the season for Peonies this year, this exhibit de-
serves special mention on account of the number of
varieties shown and their noted quality. The flowers
showed to great advantage in their group arrange-

ment, set off against a background of dark Cedar
greenery and surrounded by the same. They were dis-
played in large vases, baskets and hampers, each
group being composed of separate colors. The group
occupying the center of the foreground contained about
a dozen immense baskets filled with fine specimens
of Mme. Emile Galle, a fine late pink, of light tint.
At the right of the hall, in a border extending half
way down the hall, was a collection of red and dark
red varieties, as follows: Ville de Nancy, Eduard
Andre, Cointe de Goiner, Winnikenni, Eduard VII,
Rubra Superba. In the center of this border, for con-
trast, were white sorts, like Solange, Enchantress,
Marie Lemoine, etc. On the left of the center group
and half way around the front were the light and
dark pink varieties in great profusion, as : Seedling
11. Eugene Verdier. Mme. Manchet, La Tendresse,
Jas. R. Maure. Jeanne Gaudichau, Auguste Villaume,
Jules Cabot, Livingstone, Mme. Bollet, Dorchester, M.
Boucharletaine, E. J. Shaylor, Venus, Claire du Bois,
R. P. Whitefield. Pierre Ducharte, Grandiflora, Mil-
ton Hill, Alfred de Musset, Etta, Mme. Boulanger and
a grand seedling of extra fine form, medium pink, and
one of the latest to bloom. A long table in the middle
of the hall carried a grand display of Thurlow seed-
lings, in all about a hundred varieties. Messrs. Thur-
low's Sons were awarded a bronze medal.

Mrs. Lester Leland, Manchester, Mass. (Eric H.
Wetterlow, gdr. exhibited a large variety of the
new tuberous rooted "Shower Begonias." These fine
Begonias are little known so far and many of the
varieties are seedlings raised by Mr. Wetterlow. There
were fourteen varieties, displaying most beautiful
shades of pink, salmon, red, scarlet, yellow and
orange. The flowers are up to four inches across and
they are produced in the greatest profusion in pendant
racemes or clusters, forming splendid subjects for
hanging baskets or jardinieres with their wealth of
blossoms hanging down like a shower of blooms. This
collection formed one of the main attractions of the
show and received a first class certificate of merit.
Seedling No. 7 also received honorable mention.

Iristhorpe Gardens captured the Chestnut Hill Gar-
den Society Silver Trophy for a notable artistic exhib-
it of Sweet Peas which filled a long table. It was ar-
ranged with Asparagus plumosus, Boston and hardy
fern fronds and sprays of Gypsophila paniculata. The
exhibit contained the following varieties, among a
lot of others: R. F. Felton, Rose Elliott, Royal pur-
ple. Picture, Constance Hinton, Jack Carnival, Fel-
ton's Cream, Alex Malcolm, Mrs. Tom Jones, Daisy
K. Elliott, Floradale purple, King Manuel, Faith, Dob-
bie's Cream.

William Gray and William G. Taylor also had
handsome displays of Sweet Peas.

Roses were shown in considerable variety by sev-
eral amateur gardeners, and especially by A. J. Fish,
New Bedford, Mass., who exhibited a great number
of his climbers, for the raising of which he has be-
come celebrated. His collection included the follow-
ing climbing Roses : Orleans, Dr. Huey, Baroness It-
tersum, Graf Zeppelin, Bess Lovett, Philadelphia
Rambler, Aunt Harriet, Francois Guillot, white Tau-
sendschoen ; Sanders White (new), Edwin Lonsdale,
Oriole, Alberic Barbier, Electra, Source d'Or, Prof.
C. S. Sargent, Am. Pillar, Gardenia (yellow), Silver
Moon, Le Mexique, Am. Beauty, Christine Wright,
May Queen, Warthurg, Gerbe Rose, Testout, Mme.
Ghys (new), Petite Jeanne (new), Jean Girin (new),
Ruby Queen, Lady Ashton, Dr. Wm. Van Fleet, The
Wallflower.

Rose and Sweet Pea Exhibition at Horticultural
Hall, Boston

The American Sweet Pea Society held its four-
teenth Annual Exhibition and Convention in Horti-
cultural Hall, Boston, on June 24 and 25, in conjunc-
tion with the Rose, Strawberry and Sweet Pea Show
of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society.

The weather, on Saturday, was all that could be
desired and the attendance at the show was, if not
very, large, satisfactory. Sunday turned out cool and
cloudy, with occasional showers, but a steady stream
of visitors passed through the doors.

Candidly speaking, the exhibition was not a suc-
cess as far as the number of exhibits or competitors
was concerned. Only five exhibitors competed in the
classes of the American Sweet Pea Society and all
of them were private growers. Of the twenty-nine
classes and subdivisions, only twelve were competed
for in the American Sweet Pea Society section. The
entries of Sweet Peas for the Massachusetts Horti-
cultural Society's exhibition brought out only two dis-
plays.

American Institute of Park Executives and
American Park Society

The twenty-third annual meeting, the twenty-fourth
anniversary of the organization, and the first conven-
tion of the American Institute of Park Executives
and American Park Society, is scheduled to convene
at the Curtis Hotel. Third ave. S. and Tenth sts.,
Minneapolis, Minn.. Aug. 19 to 26, 1922. This associa-
tion was founded April 6 and 7, 1S9S, at Boston, under
the name of the New England Association of Park
Superintendents. At the New Haven convention
(sixth), June 14 and 15, 1904, the name was changed
to the American Association of Park Superintendents,
and this name it retained until Aug. 23 to 24, 1921,
on the occasion of the twenty-second annual conven-
tion at Detroit, when the name was changed to that
which it holds at present.

Not numerically strong on account of its limita-
tions, the members of this society represent probably
more fully the development of floriculture and land-
scape gardening than any other of our horticultural
associations, therefore, to the expert gardener, flo-
rist and landscape gardener, as well as to the mem-
bers of the association itself, the annual meeting of
this society possesses the highest interest on account
of its personnel and the nature of the papers dis-
cussed.

Greenhouse Replaced by Chinese Pergola

Edgar L. Nock of the Simplex Oil Heating Co. of
Providence, R. I., has kindly sent us two photographs
(reproductions of which appear herewith) show-
ing a Chinese pergola he erected on the grounds ad-
joining his residence. Said pergola has been built on
an old greenhouse foundation. Mr. Nock has been dis-
mantling his greenhouses gradually, and rather than
take the foundations down, which are entirely of
granite, he conceived the idea of converting one
into a walled garden with pergola effect. He adds:
"This is the first year of planting and it looks rather
bare, but it will show you what can be done to make
a place beautiful if one cares to do such things." Un-
fortunately, when the photograph was taken it was
right after a rain so that there was more or less
shadow."

Further],. Definitions of Common Coal Terms

In response to our appeal to various coal authori-
ties for information as to the meaning of terms used
in the coal trade, we have received, among others, an
article from Wm. A. White, Market Editor of The
Coal Age, New York City. As some of the matters
touched upon there have already been treated, in
these pages, we are using only the following para-
graphs which may give some of our readers a differ-
ent slant on some common, but not generally under-
stood, expressions.

Volatile Matter and Coal Values

Volatile matter comprises the combustible gases —
hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane, and other
hydrocarbons — together with some inert gas and
water formed by the decomposition of the coal. For
commercial purposes it is sufficient to know that this
volatile matter is that part of the fuel which is driven
off as gas when heat is applied. This gas, in the pres-
ence of a sufficient quantity of air, will produce more
heat than any other constituent part of the coal.

High-volatile coals, however, when fired suddenly
in large quantities produce smoke; that is, the gases
are expelled faster than they can be ignited, and the
unconsumed carbon issues as black smoke, represent-
ing the loss of much of the heat energy. Gases from
low-volatile coal issue forth at a slower rate, afford-
ing more opportunity for a chemical union with the
oxygen in the air. The theoretical heat value of low-
volatile coal is, therefore, more nearly attainable
than that of high-volatile fuel, unless mechanical de-
vices, such as stokers, are used to control the rate of
feed, consumption, etc. As high-volatile coals are
hard to burn economically by the ordinary hand meth-
ods of firing, the highest efficiency can ordinarily be
attained by the use of coals whose volatile content
does not range higher than 23 per cent. The relative
value of coals for steaming, purposes, however, de-
pends so largely on the method of usage, equipment,
etc., that full dependence cannot be placed upon chem-
ical composition.

Coal brought to the loading point at the mine just
as it is taken from the seam is called mine-run or
run-of-mine; that is, it contains all sizes from lump
down to the fine coal, or slack. At the mine tipple
it is screened to the various sizes and the remaining
tonnage after the commercial named sizes are sepa-
rated out, is called slack, or nut and slack, depending
on the size of the last screen through which it passed.
Or the entire tonnage may be loaded directly into
oars as "mine-run." The term "smokeless" coal is a
relative one, as all coals give off more or less uncon-
sumed carbon when burned. In the trade, however,
the term is restricted to the semi-bituminous coals
because they give off relatively little smoke during
combustion.

With More Production We Should Develop
Our Market

(From the A. A. N. Booster)

If there is one thing upon which all nurserymen
are agreed it is that the production of nursery stock
in this country has been given an impetus (largely as
a result of Qu. 37) such as it has never had in this
country before.

But if we want to have this increased production
make us more money — instead of more trouble! — we
must develop our markets to take care of it.

In order to do this, we must use every possible
means to stimulate an interest in planting.

In addition to whatever the American Association
may do next year, we believe that every sectional
association — and many of the larger State associa-
tions— could very profitably carry on a local publicity
campaign, such as that undertaken by the Illinois
State Association, this Spring, under the able guidance
of J. A. Young.

In a word, with the big production program which
the A. A. of N. has undertaken, every possible means
of extending our markets should be utilized.

The way to get additional profitable business is
not to cut prices, but to go after more business. The
most economical way to do this is to suggest more
planting — give the newspapers all the information they
will use.

It's a mistake to limit our publicity to our selling
season. The time to sell a man the idea of planting
perennials next Fall is when they are in bloom in
Spring and Summer. Create the desire, and when
planting time comes, he'll plant!

Queer Query from Ohio. — A Western man writes to his
newspaper: "Some time ago I applied the skin of an egg to
a boil on my face. The boil disappeared, leaving a scar from
which several grey feathers are growing. Am much worried
about them and wish you would advise me how to remove
them."

The Florists' Exchange

Convention Report A. S. T. A.

(Continued from page 9)

Along this same line a leading seed analyst has
written me as follows : "During the past season I
have found instances where advertisements of seed
for sale in farm and weekly papers have been very
largely misleading since I found some of the seed
offered in connection with these advertisements of
very poor quality. I believe that truth in advertising
is very essential in the seed business, and I further
believe that something should be done to bring this
matter to the attention of the Seed Trade Associa-
tion in such a way that action will result and that
the evils now existing can be corrected. I thiuk you
will agree with me when I say your firm and other
firms in the wholesale business are placed at a very
great disadvantage in having to meet the advertis-
ing referred to above."

My suggestion in this connection is that a resolu-
tion be adopted by this convention to the effect that
agricultural papers be asked to use the utmost cau-
tion in accepting seed advertisements from unknown
firms or from firms not in good standing as members
of this association and that before using an adver-
tisement from a firm not holding a membership with
us they insist that such firm be vouched for by the
chief seed analyst of the State where it is located.

''Business Integrity"

On Jan. 1 I sent out a New Year's greeting to all
our members, cards bearing a quotation from Article
II of our constitution, as follows :

"Our Purpose — To improve and perfect a standard
of business integrity, which shall include purity of
stocks, honesty of representation, carefulness of obli-
gations and promptness in execution."

The phrase, "Business Integrity," may have been
needed years ago when our constitution was first
written, but at this time it seems to me it is much
more needed. As a result of the war we all know
there was a letting down of moral standards. Busi-
ness men generally have since realized this and have
been taking steps to improve the situation. Consider-
able has been accomplished but much remains to be
done, and we of the seed trade, because of the very
nature of our business and because of our peculiar
temptations need to give the matter special considera-
tion.

Let us realize what it means to hold a membership
in this association, an organization which stands for
the highest honor and for absolute fair dealing in
every transaction. I know we have had much to con-
tend with during the past two seasons. With the
business depression and the lack of orders on the
one hand and unfair competition both from the Gov-
ernment and from unscrupulous seed firms on the
other hand, it has surely been discouraging. Most of
us know what it is to have financial troubles. Many
have been dangerously near actual failure while some
have had to give up entirely.

But let us be encouraged. Conditions have im-
proved and are still improving. Ours is a great voca-
tion. Seeds are fundamental. Much depends on the
sort of seeds we furnish and the way we furnish
them. We have had some great men in our associa-
tion, and their lives should inspire us. Let us re-
solve that we will give real service, and that we will
be true to the ideals set forth in our' constitution.

Code of Ethics Recommended

Considerable attention has been given by Rotary
Clubs throughout the country the past year to the
importance of having a written code of ethics or
business methods in every organization such as ours.
I think this is a good idea and recommend that a
special committee be appointed by the incoming presi-
dent to prepare and submit for our consideration at
our next annual convention a code of ethics. We could
not, of course, expect to cover with hard and fast
rules every matter of difference likely to come up
between grower and wholesaler or between whole-
saler and retailer, or to say exactly what our con-
duct should be at all times in our dealings with the
public. But broad principles could be laid down
that would help very much. Article II of the consti-
tution furnishes a beginning for the work of this
committee, but I think the whole question should be
further developed.

Other Recommendations

To sum up, my recommendations are:

First, that Curtis Nye Smith be retained as our
counsel for the coming year.

Second, that the secretary be instructed to pro-
cure a copy of the new supplement to the seed laws.

Third, that united field seed advertising be taken
up for the coming year as well as united garden
seed advertising.

S. F. Leonard of Chicago

Elected First Vice-President A. S. T. A.

Fourth, that a resolution be adopted asking the
agricultural papers of the country to exclude from
their columns all seed advertising of firms not
members of the American Seed Trade Association,
unless endorsed by the seed aualysts of their respec-
tive States.

Fifth, that a special committee be appointed to
prepare a code of ethics.

At the conclusion of his address it was moved that
it lie referred to a committee consisting of Messrs.
J. L. Hunt. L. L. Morse and B. Landreth, Jr. At a
later session this committee reported as follows :

"We heartily endorse your president's recommenda-
tion that Curtis Nye Smith be retained as counsel,
believing as we do that his services have been in-
valuable to the association.

"We approve the suggestion of your president that
the secretary be instructed to procure copies of the
new supplement to the seed laws.

"As to the recommendation that 'united field seed
advertising be taken up for the coming year as well
as united garden seed advertising,' your committee
finds a publicity committee already functioning in
the Wholesale Grass Seed Association, and recom-
mends that garden seed advertising be continued and
that our new publicity committee consults with the
publicity committee of the Wholesale Grass Seed
Dealers to see if cooperation is practicable.

"We agree with your president as to the adoption
of a code of ethics for the seed trade and believe
that no better statement of purpose can be found than
the one already existing in Article 2 of our Constitu-
tion, which has already been widely disseminated by
i>ui' president."

Greetings from Afar

A telegram was read from Kirby White, who sent
his best wishes for a successful convention from Enk-
huizeu, Holland, after which Secretary Kendel read
his reports as secretary and treasurer. It was moved
and carried that an auditing committee consisting
of Messrs. A. H. Luck, L. Allen and L. R. Condon be
appointed to consider the treasurer's report. This
committee later advised the association that it found
both the treasurer's report and that of the National
Garden Bureau correct.

For the membership committee Alex. Forbes an-
nounced that it had not met and therefore had no
recommendations, but that six applications were in
hand to be acted upon later.

J. C. Vaughan, chairman of the Committee on Cus-
toms and Tariff, next reported as follows :

J. C. Vaughan on Tariff Matters

Without criticizing in detail the methods used in
getting at the tariff of this administration, I will say
that having had acquaintance with the method of
preparing the tariff in two previous cases prior to the
Underwood tariff now in effect, I have always been
impressed with the lack of method of getting at any
proposed tariff.

At this time, there seems to have been a very gen-
eral iutent to "grab off" everything possible, without
any regard whatever for precedent or the former
tariff lines. In none of the interviews your com-
mittee has had in Washington, with sub-committees
having the tariff in hand, have I seen a record of the
tariffs of 1909 and 1913 placed alongside one another
and indicating that there was any intent to maintain
a fairly equitable condition of the tariff law.

I will mention one thing in reference to Lily bulbs :

They have been dutiable at $5 per 1000. Somebody
in the horticultural department suggested to the Ford-
ney people a rate of $1 per 1000, although the trade
was willing to stand and, indeed, anticipated some
advance — of perhaps $2 a 1000. And what did they
do but suggest a .$4 per 1000 duty ! Many of the
suggested amendments have been ridiculous that way ;
ridiculous in either a decline or an advance, which
no one can explain.

I make these preliminary remarks to explain why,
to my mind, we are still fussing with the tariff. I
think it is quite in the line of probabilities that the
tariff will not be concluded before the coming elec-
tions because in my judgment there has been uo sys-
tematic, even grading.

Another example I noticed the other day is that
it is proposed to put 20c. duty on every pair of prun-
ing shears, specific, plus 50 per cent ad valorem. I
believe that has passed the Senate and though I am
not sure it seems to me that is more than we have
paid before.

I have here the "Proposed Garden Seed Duties."
with which you are probably all familiar. Curtis
Nye Smith is authority for. the Senate figures given
me which, I believe, are not final, but are merely sug-
gested.

The part of the bill regarding bulbs still stands in
the Senate, as it came from the House. [For special
and latest report, see Seed Trade column, this issue. —
Ed.]

Curtis Nye Smith tells me regarding: grass seed that
the proposed rate is 20 per cent ad valorem and for
all Clover is 4c. per pound. He does not expect any
change from that; that is, no reduction, for the reason
I have already stated. I cannot give you anything
more definite or conclusive at this time.

The Death Roll of a Year

The report of the Committee on Necrology was then
read by Charles P. Guelph as follows :

The American Seed Trade Association has lost dur-
ing the past year five members and one honorary
member, Doctor Tracy. Of the five, one, Mr. Lupton,
was a past president.

We offer our sincere sympathy to the families and
friends of our departed members and with deep sor-
row present these brief records.

Hiram Wheeler Buckbee was born at Rockford, 111.,
Nov. 6, I860, and died at his Summer home at Lake
Geneva, Wis., on July 16, 1921.

As a school boy of eleven, Mr. Buckbee displayed
an interest in the business, which later became his
life's work, his first venture being the growing and
selling of Cabbage plants. The business gradually
expanded until the present corporation of H. W. Buck-
bee & Co. was formed. At the time of his death this
was recognized as one of the leading mail order seed
concerns of this country, with a catalog circulation
of upward of 700,000. Mr. Buckbee was highly re-
garded in his native city where he was devotedly in-
terested in every project for its betterment, giving
largely of his moral and financial support.

John Mather Lupton, past-president, familiarly and
affectionately known to his many friends in the trade
as "Mat," was born in the little Long Island city of
Mattituck, Oct. 6, 1S56, and died there on Aug. 1,
1921.

In the passing of Mr. Lupton the seed trade has
lost an ex-president and an active and valued worker
for the good of the organization. A member of the
firm of J. M. Lupton & Son, he was one of the
pioneer Cabbage seed growers of Long Island, and
was prominently identified with all agricultural in-
terests on the Island. He was active in civic matters
of his community and, beginning in 1906, served five
terms in the State Legislature. Mr. Lupton was hon-
ored with the presidency of our association at the
San Francisco Convention in 1915.

Harrie B. McCullough, president of the J. M. Mc-
Cullough's Sons Co. of Cincinnati. O.. died suddenly
at his home in that city on Jan. 3, 1922, in his 49th
year.

He had been in declining health for the past two
or three years, but continued active iu business until
a few days prior to his death. He was a grandson
of the founder of the business, which was established
in 1S3S, succeeding his father, the late Albert McCul-
lough, as head of the firm, in 1916. Mr. McCullough
was a constant attendant at our conventions and was
prominent in the business and social life of his home
city.

Walter D. Ross, president of the seed firm of Ross
Bros., Worcester, Mass., died at his home in that city
on Jan. 9, 1922, in his 67th year.

Mr. Ross was born in West Boylston, Mass., and at
an early age entered the employ of Wm. H. Earle,
grain dealer of Worcester, which business he took
over in 18SS with his brother, incorporating it under
its present name. Some 20 odd years ago this firm
secured a contract from the Japanese government for

July 1. 1922

The Florists' Exchange

33

all of the seeds and agricultural implements used at
its Agricultural College at Sapporo. Japan. Mr. Boss
was prominently identified with all local matters per-
taining to agriculture, being a member of several or-
ganizations and president of the Worcester County
Agricultural Society. He was a cousin of Luther
Burbank of California.

Melvin S. Griffith, president of the Griffith & Turner
Co. of Baltimore. Md., died suddenly at his home in
a suburb of that city, ou Jan. 11. 1922.

Sir Griffith was born in Baltimore County, Md.,
his father, the late John M. Griffith, being the founder
of the seed and implement house of Griffith & Turner
Co. The son early associated himself with the firm
anil was its active' head for many years, and was well
and favorably known to the trade and to the farming
community which they serve.

Dr. Wm, Warner Tracy, honorary member of this
association since 191S, died at the home of his son,
John E. W. Tracy, of Washington, D. C, on March 1,
1922, in his 77th year.

Mr. Tracy was a native of Ohio, although he moved
to Vermont at an early age. After serving his coun-
try in the Civil War, he entered the Michigan Agri-
cultural College and soon distinguished himself in
botanical and horticultural lines: in later years he
was given the honorary degree of Doctor of Science
by this institution in recognition of his work in horti-
cultural research. Soon after leaving college he be-
came connected with D. M. Ferry & Co. of Detroit,
and the services he rendered this company in develop-
ing their trial grounds and in plant breeding and se-
lection, soon won for him a worldwide reputation as
an expert in vegetable varieties. In 1903 he entered
the service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
devoting the most of his time to the study of vegetable
varieties and the conducting of the extensive Govern-
ment trial grounds at Arlington. Because of failing
health, he retired from his connection with the De-
partment April 22, 1921, after 18 years of active
service. He was the author of many books and bulle-
tins now recognized as authorities, on the subjects in
which he specialized.

In the passing of Dr. Tracy the seed trade has
lost one of its best friends and councillors and a man
who has done as much as, or more than any other, to
preach and practice the production of better seeds.
Dr. Tracy's life work with its high standard of ideals
will be an inspiration to the future generations of
seedsmen, and if followed as a precept, will do much
toward raising the standard of the seed business in
America.

Report on Postal Laws Old and New

After a rotary roll call was taken G. P. Bradley
submitted the following report for the Committee on
Postal Laws :

This covers the following- work for the past year:
An appeal came to us from one of our members con-
cerning the shipping- of insecticides through the mails.
This member had made an appeal to his local post-
master for a ruling and getting an adverse one, he
turned to the committee for a general ruling from
Washington.

Samples froim the stock of one of our members were
sent to the Postmaster General and a request for a rul-
ing, calling his attention to the nature of the goods and
the wish of the members that they be permitted to mail
small packages to customers, when ordered.

Insecticides non- Mailable

Second Assistant Postmaster General E. H. Shaugh-
nessy replied by quoting the Department Regulations,
pointing out that since the law is very definite on this
subject and the insecticides are really classed as poi-
sons, it would not be possible to permit handling them
through the mails. He also called attention to the
severe penaltv provided by" law for the violation there-
of.

If any of our members have been mailing insecti-
cides on customer's orders, it -would be well for them
to look up the law and be guided by it to save pos-
sible future trouble.

Will H. Hays, while Postmaster General, requested
Congressman Steenerson of Minnesota, to introduce a
bill to restrict the use of the special delivery service
in connection with Parcel Post. Knowing that many
of our members are called up-on frequently to use
special delivery if they are to serve certain customers,
your committee immediately got busy and requested the
entire membership, to write to the various Congress-
men, requesting that this bill be defeated.

A number of other organizations similar to ours did
the same thing and the result was that we still have
the special delivery feature. Your committee wishes to
thank those of our members who responded to our re-
quest for immediate action on this point.

With the idea of liberalizing the conditions under
which sealed parcels of fourth-class matter might be
accepted for mailing at fourth-class rates, the Post-
master General issued order 6821.

It is now possible for us to completely seal our parcel
post packages if we comply, with the rules of the de-
partment by displaying on the address labels the de-
scription of contents of the package and the phrase,
"Postmaster: This parcel may be opened for postal
inspection if necessary," and the name and address of
the company. The above can be printed on the address
label, the sealing tape or the container, but it must not
be used as an endorsement either in ink or rubber
stamp.

Those of our members who have tried this out this

season have generally found it satisfactory. It is true
that. some postmasters have not understood the ruling
and as a result have tied up a few shipments, but it is
our belief that there will be practically no trouble from
this source this coming year. The effect has been to
put shipments in the hands of customers in much better
shape than when packages were tied with string. It
also helps reduce the cost for those firms that had
been using patented fasteners, sealing one-half the
package with tape and the other with the patent fasten-
ers to permit of inspection.

While your committee took no part in the elimination
on Jan. 1 of the transportation tax on parcel post
packages, still we feel thankful that this was done,
because it has saved a considerable sum for each of our
members. Perhaps there might be one or two members
who would have been glad to have had for a profit in
1921 what they paid on these internal revenue stamps
on packages requiring more than 25c. postage.

On May 31 John H. Bartlett, Acting Postmaster Gen-
eral, issued order 7537, which will become effective
July 1 and which makes it possible for certain post-
masters to pay limited indemnity claims arising from
loss by rifling and injury of insured and C. O. D. par-
cels. This should have the effect of speeding up the
settlement of claims and anything which does that
will dig into the red tape. Perhaps now, some of you
will feel miore like putting in a claim than you did in
the past when you had to tell height, weight and color
of eyes of the customer whose package was damaged
or tampered with.

State Regulations to Watch Out For

Tour committee assumes that those of our members
who handle plants, bulbs and nursery stock are aware
that many of the Western and Southern States have
put on restrictions governing the shipping of such
goods into such States and that the Post Office Depart-
ment cooperates by permitting examination of packages
upon entrance into the State at postal terminals. Pri-
marily, this is a matter for the American Association
of Nurserymen to handle, but there are several of our
members who do not belong to that organization, so we
call your attention to the fact that Utah has recently
joined the ranks of such States. You can get complete
information by application to the Secretary of Agri-
culture of each State. If you do not do this, you not
only throw yourself open to a possible penalty but also
to having your package of perishable stock held up so
long for examination that there is no hope of your
customer receiving the goods in fit condition for plant-
ing.

In ordering your new stock of address labels for
next year, be sure to have your return address at the
top of the label instead of at the bottom, as has been
the custom for so many years. The department makes
this request though it has no power to enforce it, and if
we cooperate it will speed up the handling of the mail
and incidentally show our local postmasters that we
sometimes do something besides kick.

The Envelopes You Should Use

It has been called to our attention that some of our
members have not complied with the order of the de-
partment requiring a blank space of three and a half
inches at the right hand side of the envelope in which
our catalogs are mailed. Your local postmasters have
been told to be lenient on this point, so that we can
use up any envelopes bearing a border or other printed
matter closer than 3V4in. from the right hand side,
which we might have had in stock. But some day soon,
you will get a call telling you to get new envelopes con-
forming with the regulations. Take this tip and don't
be caught napping.

One of our members has complained about the use
of the franking privilege by country agents when try-
ing to sell for their clients seed which our members
handle in that territory. Your committee has the com-
plete layout as mailed by one county agent, including
the franked envelope. One member felt that because
the case in question was purely local, it might not be
well to stir up matters. But this practice makes the
county agent a competitor of the seedsmen and your
committee feels that we have enough Government com-
petition in the free seed distribution without adding
this franking graft. However, we leave it for the asso-
ciation to determine whether the guns should be
brought to bear upon the county agents or not.

Another suggestion came to us from one of our
members which we think should receive some discus-
sion. That is to advocate the issuance of postal notes
in 20c. , 25c, 50c. and $1 denominations. He feels that
it would help to speed up and consequently cut the
cost of handling the small, near-profitable orders. This
sounds good but. like anything that borders on a chance,
would take a lot of time and work to put across. We
likewise leave this to you.

Announcements were made regarding the entertain-
ment plans for the convention, which included a boat
ride Wednesday evening; a luncheon and theatre
party for the ladies on Thursday; and in the evening
the association's annual banquet. It was also an-
nounced that the Department of Agriculture of Ot-
tawa had representatives on hand who would be glad
to confer with any interested individuals about the
Canadian seed laws. At this time President Olds re-
peated his invitation to members of the Official Seed
Analyst Association and their ladies to participate in
all the entertainments provided by the A. S. T. A.

Wednesday Afternoon Session

Convening at 2.30 p.m., the association first heard
the following report of the Committee on Garden Bu-
reau as delivered by L-. H. Vaughan :

Publicity and the Promotion of Home Gardening

We have now conducted publicity campaigns in the
daily newspapers in 1920, 1921 and 1922. At the con-
ventions of 1920-21 we presented reports accompanied
by exhibitions of newspaper clippings, showing results
accomplished. This year we make a similar but larger

exhibit, and are happy to report that the number of
newspapers taking our clipping sheet service has in-
creased about 30 per cent over 1921.

There arc 1924 daily newspapers in the United
States, of which 71.6 or 37 per cent have given the
National Garden Bureau written orders for its serv-
ice. Those that have ordered our service are pub-
lished in 601, out. of 1269 cities that have daily
newspapers, or 48 per cent. Eight clip sheets with
mats of illustrations have been issued since our last
report, two in the Fall of 1921 and six this Spring.

War Garden Enthusiasm Not All Lost

Readjustment following the war has been a serious
problem for every business. With us it was accom-
panied by much uneasiness as to the fate of the home
gardening movement, which had experienced so great
a boom in war times. We have touched bottom in
readjustment, and are now started on the upgrade
agaiii ; and we may begin our climb with the knowl-
edge that by no means all the ground gained in popu-
larizing home gardening has been lost. We are glad
that the unhealthy growth which, stimulated by pa-
triotic appeals, was characterized by well meant but
quite hopeless attempts to grow vegetables in cinders
and brickdust. has been lost. But among home own-
ers with ground suitable for gardening, among whom
we must find our permanent, prosperous and satisfied
customers, gardening is firmly established and rapidly
growing. In the Chicago district every new subdivi-
sion is a small farm or garden subdivision ; a subur-
ban place not suitable for gardening sells with diffi-
culty; real estate firms are publishing garden man-
uals; everybody, in fact, who can make a garden is
doing it.

I refer of course, not merely to vegetable gardening,
but to ornamental gardening as well. Everyone who
deals in flower seeds knows that there has been an
increase of interest in them since the war, and it is
here perhaps that we may look for our greatest
growth.

The financial report made at the St. Louis conven-
tion showed a balance of $3463.11 in our treasury.
From that date until June 15, 1922, we received in
contributions, $6799, and expended $6154, leaving a
balance on hand of $410S,96. I have attached to this
report a financial statement which I request be re-
ferred to a committee for audit.

From our financial report it will be evident that
we have again fallen short by a large margin from
the amount which we could have used to advantage in
promotion work. This has caused no retrogression
in our campaign, however. Realizing the financial
conditions we adjusted ourselves to the situation, and
undertook only what we were sure we could carry
through.

Expense Small— Results Large

We believe anyone who is familiar with national
advertising and its cost will agree that though the
amount we have expended is small, the results accom-
plished are by no means so. Newspapers printing this
material give to the home garden promotion cause
space worth thousands of dollars on an advertising
basis. They do this because of the social value of
gardening, and because of the interest their readers
take in home garden departments. Our part is merely
to supply them with properly prepared, interesting
and authoritative gardening information. We could
not do this were it not that we have a message which
is instantly recognized as of value to society. Ours,
perhaps, is the only business of the same extent that
can use such methods successfully. We are entitled to
credit merely for realizing what is at once an oppor-
tunity and a duty.

Sometimes we received complaints that our service
is not published in a certain city. Why is it not? You
have before you visible evidence that it is good enough
for the biggest and best newspapers, and that it has
been placed throughout the country. In the majority
of cases that has been through correspondence only
and correspondence is not always successful in selling
a prospect, as all of us know.

Where a city is not on our list, is not therefore the
local seedsman somewhat at fault because he has not
sold his local editor? In March we sent to all mem-
bers the outline of a talk to make to editors with
copies of letters received from other editors indors-
ing our service. A great many took immediate action
to present this matter to their home papers, and it
was largely due to this that our mailing list was
increased 30 per cent.

So if the papers in your city are not using our serv-
ice look over our exhibit before you leave, convince
yourself that the material is good enough for the best
newspapers in the country, and read some of the let-
ters from editors posted here, so that when you re-
turn home you can present this matter in a convinc-
ing way. Cooperation means that you must give not
only the small amount of money asked, but your ac-
tive interest and aid.

Remember that as our service is prepared for the

34

The Florists' Exchange

whole country, it must 'be general ; if conditions in
your section are peculiar, then plan to supplement our
service with notes of your own adapted to local con-
ditions. Intelligent effort along this line will produce
results nine times out of ten and I can assure you
that any merchant who thinks publicity does not
count in his business is wrong.

We have in many cases seen high priced seed ad-
vertisements, which did little but duplicate the cul-
tural instructions already published in the home gar-
den departments of newspapers in the same city.

Three years' experience has demonstrated that it
is quite possible to make a home garden department
as much of a fixture in every worth while American
newspaper as the baseball column. This goal, indeed,
is already in sight. In almost every city where a
newspaper uses our service, one or more other papers
have followed suit by obtaining garden material else-
where. This is a by-product of our campaign, and
contributes to the home garden cause quite as much
as our own material. In a few more years, if our
work continues, we believe the paper without a home
garden department will be the exception.

With the success of our press department secured,
it is time to turn to other avenues of promotion.

Garden Publicity by Radio

We have already taken up work with the radio,
which has spread so remarkably over the country in
the last year. After broadcasting gardening talks
from Chicago, we have concluded that the radio is
most effective when used to send out brief daily hints,
specific and to the point, and we are now working
on such a service that will be timely in each locality.
That we will offer to broadcasting stations through-
out the country. It will probably be necessary to
ask for the cooperation of seedsmen in various sec-
tions in adapting these hints to their local conditions.

Next to this, the most pressing inquiry has been
for motion pictures and stereopticon slides to accom-
pany home garden lectures. Garden clubs are multi-
plying, and everywhere there is a thirst for informa-
tion about both vegetable and flower gardening, and
next to our newspaper and radio service, the most
effective way of supplying this demand would be by
practical, helpful pictures, that could be supplied to
the members for the use of local clubs and lecturers.

That the convention may be informed of the possi-
bilities in this direction and the cost involved we
have asked a representative of a film concern to make
a brief talk and show a sample educational film, im-
mediately following this report.

The Matter of Financial Support

This year, as before, our expenses have been paid
by voluntary contributions. We do not desire to
change this method. We do not want members to
contribute to our work unwillingly; we want them
to be "sold'' on it. While there will always be some
who hold back, no method could be devised to pre-
vent this; and we know from experience that there
are enough far-sighted, progressive minded members
to make up voluntarily the amount needed to send
us ahead.

We would like, however, to submit our plans to a
wider circle of the trade from time to time, and to
have counsel upon the problem of making our re-
quests for contributions equitable, and proportioned
to the 'business of members; for this reason we are
submitting for your consideration the following reso-
lution slightly changed from that adopted last year,
in that it authorizes the executive committee to ap-
prove our program and budget for the coming year
and our requests for contributions from the larger
concerns in the business:

Resolved, That the American Seed Trade As-
sociation accept and approve the report of the
special advertising committee dealing with the
publicity campaign for home gardens conducted
by the National Garden Bureau, and that the
president is hereby directed to appoint a com-
mittee of five members to continue this work;
and be it further

Resolved, That the special advertising com-
mittee is authorized in the name of this associa-
tion to request from each member of this associa-
tion a contribution of $50 for the work of the Na-
tional Garden Bureau; and that the special ad-
vertising committee is further authorized to re-
quest additional amounts from members whose
volume of business, in the judgment of the com-
mittee, justifies such action, the additional
amount to be fixed by the committee and approved
by the executive committee of this association ;
the whole sum to be collected not to exceed
$25,000 for the year 1922-23 ; and the program and

budget of expenditures from this fund to be sub-
jectto approval by the executive committee. ■

The secretary is instructed to inform each
member of the association of the adoption of this
resolution, and the names on the special adver-
tising committee when appointed.

Successful Cooperative Seed Advertising

Following the committee's report, James H. Bur-
dett, active director of the Garden Bureau work,
contributed the following interesting information:

The seedsmen of Denver, Colo., this year made an
experiment in cooperative advertising, in connection
with the material supplied by the National Garden
Bureau, which is described in a letter from R. E.
Patterson of the Western Seed Co. of Denver. I think
that this offers a method by which seedsmen may tie-
up their own advertisements with the publicity mat-
ter published in newspaper garden departments. Mr.
Patterson writes that in their ads they tried to use
as a slogan throughout the entire run the phrase,
"Raise Tour Own." They thought this was original,
but found that a certain garden implement company
has been using it. He also enclosed a report reading
in part as follows :

"Denver, like most cities and towns in America, is
blessed or burdened with a civic organization that is
supposed to be able to accomplish everything, even the
seemingly unattainable.

"The seedsmen of Denver were rather apathetic
about the benefits and privileges due them through
their membership in the Civic Association, and were
taking no interest in it until early in January, 1922,
when they were induced to meet for luncheon at the
Commercial Association Building. A group organiza-
tion was completed and then, of course, something had
to be done. There would be no use in coming together
if there wasn't something to do. Out of this stress
developed, among other things, the idea of cooperative
advertising.

"This idea, applied locally, was entirely without
precedent and wholly untried, so far as it was known
except for the cooperative propaganda of the A. S. T.
A. National Garden Bureau. As the planting season was
close it was decided not to atempt an extensive pro-
gram for the first year. The final decision was to run
six squares once a week in two Denver dailies, having
large regional as well as city circulations. Eight
seedsmen entered into this arrangement and, after
designating the issues in which the ads were to appear
and the period over which they were to run, appointed
a committee of two to prepare the advertisements and
arrange for their publication. This committee was in-
structed to sell the garden idea and not to attempt to
sell seeds, and to try to secure catalog inquiries. The
names, addresses and 'phone numbers of the eight
seedsmen appeared in each ad.

"Six squares was as small a space as was thought
advisable to purchase. The total cooperative adver-
tising bill was $496 once a week, in two daily papers
for two m'onths and a half. A local fertilizer company
was induced to contribute to the expense of one adver-
tisement in both papers. This brought the average cost
to $59.55 for each seed house. It is the feeling of the
Denver seedsmen that each individual house received
fully as much benefit from, this expenditure as if it
had advertised singly using the same space at a cost of
$496. For 1923 it is planned to continue the 1922 pro-
gram, but to employ larger space and more attractive
ads in more media. Such cooperative advertising will
have a stronger pull if run simultaneously with Na-
tional Garden Bureau matter.

"Through the efforts of Denver seedsmen, 17 news-
papers in Colorado and one in New Mexico published
the Garden Bureau copy during the season just ended.
This matter tells the whole story, creates the desire
to plant, and urges a request for a catalog. A seeds-
man's ad on the same page with this copy lands the
request."

It is interesting to note that the space purchased
by these seedsmen for their advertisements was but
a small part of the space devoted by these newspapers
to Garden Bureau material, and which did not cost
the seedsman anything.

Mr. Burdett supplied some data as to the cost of
educational motion pictures, after which a typical
film dealing with the dairy industry was shown.

The resolution proposed by Mr. Vaughan (see pre-
ceding column) was then formally introduced by
Mr. Bradley, seconded and adopted.

Report of Committee on Nomenclature and
Registration

Francis C. Stokes of New Jersey, then made the
following report for the committee on nomenclature
and registration, which, upon motion, was duly car-
ried:

The nomenclature of vegetables is a matter of con-
cern to seedsmen for two reasons: first, from the
standpoint of honesty of representation and, second,
from the standpoint of protection to those who seek
out and develop new varieties. This association has
shown an interest in vegetable nomenclature for the
past 14 years, and it is a commendable fact that the
loose practice of renaming varieties has been greatly
curtailed.

For some time it has been apparent that a totally
disinterested agency, such as the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, should take over the detailed work of
formulating a list of standard American varieties of
vegetables. A bill is about to he introduced before Con-
gress which, if put upon the statutes, will impower
the Department of Agriculture to handle this work,
and we have the assurance of those in authority that
on the passage of this bill an appropriation will be
made in next year's agricultural budget which will
start the machinery moving.

This same agency, with the active cooperation of
this association, as represented through its nomen-
clature committee, will also he able to care for the
registration of new varieties as they are presented.

Thus it will be one and possibly two seasons before
the department will be prepared to handle this work.
In the interim, your committee urges a conservative
policy on all matters of new introductions. Before
taking the responsibility of adding a new name to
our already overburdened list, make very sure, first,
that the variety is not already being sold to the trade
under an established name and, second, that your
new introduction has been thoroughly fixed as to type
and general characteristics.

We would indeed be ungrateful in closing this re-
port without referring to the passing of a beloved
and respected former member of this committee, Dr.
Will W. Tracy, Sr. His untiring efforts throughout
a long and useful life will influence American horti-
culture for generations to come. In his passing, we
have lost one of the old pioneers, a true counsellor
and a warm friend.

Seed Growing in California

Speaking on "The Growing of Vegetable Seed in
California," Lester L. Morse of San Francisco, who
was introduced by President Olds as a man "held in
high esteem by all our members," said in part :

As a California industry, seed growing suffers con-
siderably in the comparison of its volume with that
of other horticultural lines, such as the raising of
citrus fruits, Almonds, Walnuts, Raisins, Prunes and
Apricots, the general fruit canning business, and even
vegetable shipping. Compared with the seed growing
activities of Europe, however, it is of large propor-
tions.

California is a long State, and one of a great va-
riety of climates, elevations and soils. The oldest seed
growing district is the valley in and about the town
of Santa Clara, a town of some 5000 inhabitants, 50
miles south of San Francisco.

None of the old locations are now used for seed
growing, but there are some seed farms in the Santa
Clara Valley. Most of the growers have gone 35 to
50 miles south of Santa Clara to Gilroy, San Juan,
San Felipe and Hollister. Here is grown most of the
Lettuce, Radish, Parsley and Salsify seed and about
50 per cent of the Onion seed. Nearer the ocean are
now grown Sweet Peas and culinary Peas, and still
farther south are the large flower seed farms at Ar-
royo Grande, Guadalupe and Lompoc. Here are also
grown large areas of Sweet Peas. Still farther
south and along the Coast is the Lima and Pole Bean
district at Carpenteria and Ventura, while farthest
south near Los Angeles are other large flower seed
growing districts and Tomato seed farms.

Occasionally there is an unusually hot dry wind
in June when seed crops are in bloom, and we ex-
perience a bad burn on the seed head, whether of
Carrot, Leek or Onion, and sometimes the crop is
seriously damaged. In the Delta, there is practically
no fog in Summer and the morning dews are usually
evaporated before eight o'clock, so that when crops
are ripe they are best harvested early. Then they
cure or dry on the sheets within a few days and can
be threshed with a roller drawn by horses. Practi-
cally all the seed crops are threshed in this simple
manner which is preferable to machine threshing
since there is no cleaning of the machine necessary
when moving from one variety to another. And in the
case of Carrot, the beards or spines are nicely rubbed
off by the roller. Such seeds as Carrot, Celery, Beet,
Parsnip, etc., are run through a fanning mill, given
a rough cleaning and then shipped to the grower who
cleans the seed to a merchantable sample. Onion and
Leek seed is rolled and fanned, then washed, or sunk
in water, then dried and milled once, after which it
is sent to the grower, who finishes the work of clean-
ing.

The California seed grower used to be one who
either owned or leased his own farm, owned all his,
stock and equipment and operated his farm with day
labor. Much of this has now been changed, and
while he still owns or leases a large part of his land
and works it himself, he places more or less of his
acreage with various farmers who grow for him.
There is a demand now for two distinctive titles : one
the seed grower, who gets the seed for the seedsman

July 1, 1922.

The Florists' Exchange

or dealer: and the other the farmer grower or pro-
ducer, who plants small acreages for the seed grower.
To my mind, we should thus designate them here-
after as "seed grower" and "farmer grower."

On account of the unusual conditions developed by
the war and the great surplus following unusually
heavy crops and unwarranted acreage, it is difficult
to estimate the extent of California seed growing.
My own estimate, however, is that 10,000 acres will
cover all the small seeds in a normal year ; of course,
the past three years it has been very much under
this figure.

What the future of seed growing will be depends
quite as much on labor as on climate and soil, and
California so far has enjoyed a very good supply of
efficient and intelligent oriental labor which is adapt-
able and dependable. The growers farther south use
Mexican peons with good success, but there are but
few of them used in Central California. Most of the
seed growers in California are now optimistic, and as
surplus stocks begin to disappear, we are confidently
looking for good business, which means more acre-
age. And in time we hope for fair profits to return.

Thursday Morning Session, June 22

The report of the membership committee held over
from a previous session, and now read by Alex.
Forbes, recommended for membership the following
firms :

American Seed and Seedtape Co., Madison, N. J.

The Southern Seedsmen's Association, Montgomery,
Ala.

The Southern California Seed Co., Los Angeles,
Calif.

The Tobin Seed Co., Kansas City, Mo.

Wedge Seeds. Albert Lea, Minn.

The Wetsel Seed Co., Harrisonburg, Va.

J. Bolgiano Seed Co., Baltimore, Md.

Wm. A. Ward Seed Co., Sacramento, Calif.

It announced that T. Sakata & Co. of Yokohama,
Japan, on advice of counsel, was found not eligible
for membership according to the association's consti-
tution, and that, therefore, its application could not
be considered. It also reported a change in the per-
sonnel of the W. W. Barnard Co. of Chicago, but
recommended that this concern's membership be con-
tinued without reference to this change.

The firms listed above were then balloted upon and
all receiving the necessary majority votes, they were
elected to membership.

The balance of this session was devoted to execu-
tive business, Charles D. Boyle reading the report
of the legislative committee, and Curtis Nye Smith
that of the counsel. The subject of seed legislation
was discussed at some length.

Thursday Afternoon Session

As this session was essentially a joint meeting of
the A. S. T. A. and the Association of Seed Analysts,
President Olds asked Dean F. W. Taylor of the New
Hampshire Agricultural College and president of the
Official Seed Analysts Organization to preside, this
request being greeted with applause. Dean Taylor
introduced Dr. C. R. Orton of the Pennsylvania State
College, whose address, formerly scheduled for the
previous afternoon, was on the interesting subject of
plant diseases that are transmitted by seeds and how
to control them.

Seed Borne Diseases

Address of C. R. Orton, Plant Pathologist, Pennsyl-
vania Agricultural Experiment Station, before

the American Seed Trade Convention
At a meeting of the Crop Protection Institute in
1921 the subject of seed borne diseases was discussed
and the speaker was selected to investigate and report
on the problem.

It is hardly necessary perhaps to call your atten-
tion to the importance of plant diseases in agricul-
ture. The Plant Disease Survey of the United States
Department of Agriculture in cooperation with the
plant pathologists of the several States has been keep-
ing and publishing records since 1917. That our staple
crops suffer severe losses yearly is shown by the fol-
lowing table, which shows, of course, only a small
part of the total losses from disease in our cultivated
crops.

Crop Losses in the United States

(All figures in bushels except Cotton, which is in
bales.)

Wheat 33,171,000 192,275,000 104,129,000

smuts) 16,533,000 10,445,000 9,747,000

Oats 63,396,000 78,353,000 78,199,000

Corn 158,533,000 200,050,000 220,862,000

Potatoes 78,094,000 86,997,000 119,474,000

Sweet Potato 47,136,000 58,841,000 39,150,000

Tomato 841,763.000 307,168,000

Cotton 2,160,000 1,742,000 2,002,000

If we had any corresponding figures for the losses
to vegetables and other truck crops, to ornamental
stocks, to fruits, to our forest and shade trees, etc.,
the annual total would be stupendous. Probably there
is no other single factor in crop production which
will bring in greater net profit than the control of
these diseases and the stopping of these leaks. Per-
haps I may be pardoned for drawing an example
from Pennsylvania of what may be accomplished in
these lines.
What Spraying Did for Penn State Potato Growers

Five years ago the Potato growers of Pennsylvania
were exceedingly skeptical regarding the idea of in-
creasing the Potato crop by spraying to prevent dis-
ease and insect losses. Today they all concede that
disease control is the most profitable single opera-
tion in the growing of this important crop. During
the past four years 976 spraying demonstrations have
been conducted in 57 counties of the State with the
result that an average increase of 55.7 bus. per acre
or 36.7 per cent has been realized at an average cost
of $10.50 per acre. This spraying has done more for
the Potato growers of Pennsylvania in putting their
industry on an economical and paying 'basis than
any other single operation except disease free seed
which is a direct outgrowth of the spraying program.
When the Potato growers found that it paid big
profits to protect their Potato vines from disease they
began to take an interest in such seed-borne diseases
as leaf-roll, mosaic, etc., with the result that in 1919
we started a program of seed improvement on the
disease free basis. In 1921, 48,800 bushels of the
best disease-free seed Potatoes obtainable were dis-
tributed in 55 counties of the State. These seed Po-
tatoes gave an average increase per acre over the
farmers seed stock of 69.6 bus. or 45.6 per cent and
the disease free seed was obtained and distributed
at a cost only slightly in excess of the market price
for table stock.

Grateful Potato Growers Provide Hospital

As a result of this program for better disease con-
trol Pennsylvania is making most rapid strides in
the Potato industry and unless the other States soon
get under way she will lead the country not only in
total production hut also in per acre production.
Further than this to show how much the Potato
growers of Pennsylvania appreciate what the State
College is doing for their industry, they have re-
cently pledged $150,000 for the purpose of erecting
a hospital at the college which will stand as a per-
manent memorial of their appreciation as one unit
of a $2,000,000 building fund proposed by President
John Martin Thomas for student welfare buildings
as a start towards the organization of a Pennsylvania
State University.

These are but examples of what can be accom-
plished with almost any of our cultivated crops by
thorough organization, although we must admit that
with certain crops much research must be undertaken
before any such State or National program can be
put across. On the other hand there is just as good
an opportunity to increase our cereal crops by seed
treatment for disease prevention. Treatment to pre-
vent the smuts of cereals alone would add, annually,
many millions of bushels to the nation's crops, and
the cost of such treatment is less than one cent per
bushel for the seed.

Relation of Seeds to Disease Dissemination

One of the the most important and effective means
of disseminating plant diseases is upon or within the
seed. As common examples of this I might mention
the bacterial blight, mosaic, and anthracnose of
Beans, most smut diseases of the cereal crops, and
black-rot and black-leg of Cabbage. In fact, it is
possible that a high percentage of the diseases at-
tacking crops grown from seed or parts functioning
as seeds are at times disseminated in this manner.
If this were not so we could hardly account for the
wide distribution of many plant diseases. Thus in the
past ten years I have personally been able to trace
the spread of the so-called "Winter blight" of Toma-
toes into several new regions in North America, to
Australia and to England and to demonstrate beyond
question that this disease is disseminated with the
seed which explains its present wide distribution.

Distribution of Crop Diseases and Regulations to
Prevent Their Spread

Let us now examine very briefly the history of
plant disease distribution, the factors which have
influenced it and the attempts made to restrict it. In
Kurasia where crops have been cultivated since the
dawn of history plant diseases have been recognized
from the beginning. It is but reasonable to expect
that in the course of 1900 years practically all of the
known diseases of cultivated crops have hecome al-
ready established in every region of those countries
where the conditions are at all favorable for their
perpetuation. For example, it is hardly possible that

Wheat smut is absent in any Eurasian country where
this crop is grown successfully.

In the Western Hemisphere, however, the situation
is quite different. Cultivated crops in North America
date back hut 300 years at most and west of the
Alleghenies intensive cultivation of field crops is still
within the memory of the passing generation. There
are even now extensive areas in North America not
yet developed agriculturally and these areas as well
as those of recent development we should aim to pro-
tect from plant disease invasion in so far as it is
possible to do so. It is a much simpler problem to
prevent the invasion of parasites than to control or
eradicate them once they become established. No
concerted effort has ever been made to my knowledge
to prevent the introduction of plant diseases into a
region where agriculture is being first developed. But
numerous instances are on record where attempts at
restriction have been made after diseases have been
introduced. Plant pathologists could well afford to
make a study of the methods by which animal and
human pathologists have attacked similar problems
in recent years, such as the restrictions imposed by
the Federal Government during the construction of
the Panama Canal.

While North America has already introduced from
South America and Eurasia a large number of dan-
gerous plant diseases and insect pests there still re-
main in other continents many serious diseases which
must be prevented from entering our domain. The
provisions of the Federal Horticultural Board have
aided naturally in checking this influx of crop mala-
dies but public sentiment crystallized around a knowl-
edge of the situation will be a more effective barrier
to "such introductions than all the legal restrictions
which could lie imposed. Unfortunately, our science
has been negligent in educating the public in these
matters. Consequently, when they succeeded in con-
vincing the legislators that restrictions were neces-
sarv the onlv alternative was to enact laws cover-
in-' the special cases. Such steps have been taken by
the British Empire in the cases of Onion, Coffee,
Walnut Cotton, Drupe, Rubber, Cocoa and other seed
to apply to certain of her domain and insular posses-
sions The United States has a number of such re-
strictive quarantines, both foreign and domestic,
against the diseases and pests of similar crops. Other
nations have followed these examples. All such re-
strictions would be unnecessary if the growers of
plants as produce or for seed purposes only realised
the danger lurking in any seed lot or plant shipment
not groivn under adequate supervision and inspection
by those trained in recognizing these troubles.

Soil Infestation vs. Seed Infection

While soil infestation by plant parasites does not
enter strictlv into the problems of seed borne dis-
eases I believe it will be worth while to touch upon
it for the reason that apparently some people believe
that soil infestation is the real problem in plant path-
ology and seed infection of only minor importance.

Unquestionably soil parasites are of great impor-
tance especially in the warmer regions of the world
where weather conditions are more favorable for
their perpetuation in the soil during the colder sea-
sons Our attention has been called by the work ot
Dr W A Orton and his associates to the importance
of 'wilt diseases of Southern field and truck crops
and by that of Dr. L. R. Jones and his students upon
the similar Cabbage yellows disease. Most of these
diseases are caused by species of fungi and marked
success has resulted from concerted efforts along the
line of selecting resistant hosts. We now have wilt
resistant Cotton, Cowpeas, Watermelons, Tomatoes,
Cabbage and other crops which enable the growers
to obtain excellent yields on soils so infected that
formerly total crop failures resulted. Judging from
these past experiences it appears that we have one
of the most satisfactory methods of controlling such
tvpes of disease well worked out.
* Looking at the whole field from an unbiased stand-
point we must admit that soil infesting parasites are
of great importance in crop productions, but we can-
not overlook the fact that seed borne diseases are
more numerous than soil infesting ones and from
the standpoint of disease dissemination greatly over-
shadow the latter as potential agents of destruction,
particularly in new regions. Further than this, re-
cent researches on Tomato and Cotton wilts have
shown that even these soil infesting parasites may
live from Fall to Spring on the seed and carry over
the disease to the next crop. We appear to have no
alternative hypothesis to account for the wide geo-
graphical distribution of the diseases of those plants
which are propagated by seed or fruit.
Factors of Importance in Seed Production

There is no need here to discuss particularly the
details of seed production, but I do wish to mention
the important and fundamental principles which
should be recognized in all plant and seed production
work. In my enumeration of these factors there is

33

The Florists' Exchange

nothing significant in theii' order. These factors as
I see them are: 1. Inherent resistance or immunity to
disease. 2. Freedom from disease producing organ-
isms carried by the seed. 3. Vitality. 4. Quality.
5. Productiveness. 6. Adaptability to environment.
The last four have been the primary aim of practi-
cally all of the crop and seed improvement work of
the past. It is only since 1900 that any attention
has been given to resistance and freedom from dis-
ease and even today these two factors are given very
minor consideration in plant improvement work.
There are several reasons for this, perhaps the most
Important being the relatively recent development
and recognition of plant pathology as compared with
the older sciences of botany and plant breeding which
have moulded the development of crop improvement
up to the present time. It must now be recognized
in the breeding of plants, that the factors of resis-
tance and immunity to disease are of equal impor-
tance for many crops, with such factors as quality,
productiveness, etc.

Methods of Attacking the Problem

The logical place to start on the problem of seed-
borne diseases is upon the seed producing plots,
whether these are on special experimental grounds
or on farms under contract. It is essential that the
person in charge of the work be thoroughly familiar
with the diseases to which the crop is subject or
else a pathological assistant should be employed to
look after this phase of the work. All seed planted
should be disinfected even when it is not known with
certainty that seed borne diseases attack the crop
in question. Such disinfection ensures greater proba-
bility of producing healthy plants. The seed should
be planted in clean, healthy soil so far as possible,
unless it is the aim of the experimenter to discover
disease-resistant plants, in which case the most se-
verely infested soils should be utilized.

It is important that the conditions for growing the
crop throughout the season be as normal as possible
since the condition of the plants is frequently an
important factor in predisposing them to or protect-
ing them from attacks by parasites.

Field sanitation, selection of seed plants, harvest-
ing, seed inspection, seed analysis including the detec-
tion of infected seed, and germination are other im-
portant features. The relation of diseases to these
various factors must be worked out by laboratory and
field experiments and the practice which should he
followed will probably vary considerably according
to the kind of seed being produced.

While methods of detecting plant parasites upon
or within seed have already been developed undoubt-
edly new and more efficient methods will be found
when this problem is adequately attacked and fi-
nanced. While to some people it may appear to be a
difficult task we must remember that it will never be
accomplished unless we join forces in cooperative
effort.

The Organization Required

A problem of this sort, which is of world-wide im-
portance in that it affects crop production directly,
should be supported by a carefully planned organiza-
tion. A number of successful attempts in this direc-
tion have been made by individuals and companies.
We point with pride to the foresight of one of your
own members in such an effort — B. D. Funk, whose
Corn work has already received national recognition,
and is highly praiseworthy. The Pedigreed Seed Co.
of Hartsville, S. C, was organized for the production
of disease free seed. The Hiekox-Rumsey Co., Inc.,
of Batavia, N. Y., is attempting just this sort of
thing. Other concerns are probably planning work
along this line.

These efforts indicate a gradual awakening to the
importance of recognizing the disease factor in seed
and crop production, but unless the problem is or-
ganized on a larger scale, unless more provision is
made for research work, and a greater interest is
aroused in the public to an appreciation of what good
seed means in production by means of systematic
publicity and instruction, it will be years before con-
ditions are appreciably remedied, and by that time
irreparable damage is sure to result.

Seed growers, seed dealers, and distributors indi-
vidually and in association should be vitally inter-
ested. The scientific men are already intensively in-
terested. The botanists, plant breeders, pathologists,
and entomologists now stand ready to assist in every
possible way, but these men are unable to accomplish
much alone since the entire 'business end is handled
through commercial organizations. We regret to ad-
mit that in the past the relations between the scien-
tific workers in the Federal and State employ and
the industries have been far from cooperative if not
distinctly unfriendly in many cases. The war did
much to dissolve this barrier and in the formatiou of
the Crop Protection Institute we see another step
toward bringing industry and science together for
concerted attack upon all enemies of food crops, both

plant and animal. Gradually, we are finding that it
is of mutual benefit to work in cooperation, and if
any problem ever needed cooperative effort it is this
one of producing a better grade of seed for agricul-
tural and ornamental use.

To accomplish this purpose, fundamental research
must be undertaken. We need to know much regard-
ing the seed borne diseases of many vegetables, for-
age and ornamental crops. They have been investi-
gated only here and there. Better methods of seed
disinfection are needed in some cases, particularly
along the line of treating large quantities of seed.
Almost nothing is known regarding the treatment of
internally borne parasites except in the case of ce-
reals, and even here new methods would very likely
result from further researches.

Plant breeding work should be attacked anew with
the modern viewpoint of combining disease resistance
with the other desirable factors, as has been done at
Cornell University by Barrus in the case of Wells
Red Kidney Bean resistant to anthracnose and in the
TJ. S. D. A*., Bureau of Plant Industry by J. B. Nor-
ton, in case of Washington Asparagus immune to rust.
Search must be made for resistant or immune indi-
viduals for this purpose. Practically no systematic
search for such plants has been made except in a
few cases of field crops and certain cereals and even
here many fundamental principles involved have been
overlooked.

A comprehensive plan of organization and proce-
dure should be drawn up, financed and put into opera-
tion. Your association, which has shown itself to be
progressive on all subjects of seed improvement, can
iindertake this problem now, with the certainty of
having the cooperation of those scientists trained to
attack it with the aid of your advice and support.
If the Crop Protection Institute can be of service it
is ready to aid in any way possible. Our committee
will be glad to furnish further information and sug-
gestions if you desire. We trust this problem will
receive your earnest consideration and some plan of
attack be adopted at this meeting.

Basic Problems of Seed Testing

The next speaker was Dr. B. H. Toole, of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, who discussed some of
the relations between the scientific worker and the
seed trade and said, in part:

I want to call especial attention to the fact that
most of the seed trade, and some of the analysts do
not yet realize that seed for planting, especially, is
not inert matter. Although we speak of the seed as
sleeping or dormant, if it is going to be of use it must
be full of life. Life processes are going on within
it all the time, and it must be handled accordingly.
Because we do not fully understand these various
processes, many times our methods of handling and
our methods of preparing for its germination throw
this seed into an unusual condition, which the scien-
tist calls "secondary dormancy." We must recognize
this possibility and not expect all samples to respond
under the same conditions. We must not discard a
sample merely because it does not germinate at once
under ordinary treatment, but must keep in mind
that there is a possibility of its requiring special con-
ditions.

The seedsman and the extension worker of the col-
leges often run up against the problem of planters who
by treating their seed have spoiled the germination,
and refuse to again attempt seed protection by seed
treatment. Much work has been done to standardize
methods of seed treatment, but more is needed. The
scientific worker is more or less isolated ; his prob-
lems are difficult and highly complicated; and I hope
you will all try and appreciate his difficulties and
try and cooperate with him in working for the com-
mon good.

Commercial Seed Analyst and His Work

The next address by W. C. Pfaender, of the Albert
Dickinson Co., Chicago, on "Problems of a Com-
mercial Seed Analyst," included among other inter-
esting facts the following :

Since the days of tradition, there have been various
ways of testing out the viability of seeds. They have
been floated and heated until they popped ; they have
been broken and the fracture noted ; they have been
cut and judged by the appearance of the inside, and
besides these superficial and inaccurate methods, ac-
tual germination has been resorted to more or less
commonly for many years. In 1893, the botanist of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture recommended
that seed testing be undertaken systematically and
scientifically, and in 1S94 Gilbert H. Hicks was placed
in charge of the laboratory at Washington, D. C. Fol-
lowing the establishment of this laboratory, the first
rules for seed testing were formulated by a committee
from the Association of American Agriculture Col-
leges. Commercial testing has developed as the im-
portance and value of systematic tests of seed under
scientific control have been clearly demonstrated.

Large seed firms first employed analysts and estab-
lished laboratories about 15 years ago, the commercial
analyst having become an important factor in the seed
business with the passage of State laws regulating
the sale of seed. Very little legislation was passed
previous to 1907, and the work as first carried on was
mainly for the purpose of securing proper informa-
tion for the buying and selling of seed. At the pres-
ent time the greater part of the commercial analyst's
duties is the testing of seed, so that it may be labeled
or tagged to comply with the State laws.

His problems are found not so much in the actual
routine work of testing, as in dealing and complying
with these State laws. They begin to multiply with
the tagging of the seed; and they multiply directly
in proportion to the number of State laws with which
he has to contend.

A great deal of trouble arises from the great varia-
tion in tests for the number of weed seeds present.
In many cases the commercial analyst may not find
sufficient to label and, therefore, does not report the
presence of certain noxious weeds. The official ana-
lyst may find some present and consider the seed mis-
branded, especially when his calculations are based
on the sample tested for purity. It seems there should
be an allowable variation adopted for weeds as was
done for purity and germination. As a rule, commer-
cial seed does not contain so very many noxious weeds,
but due to the many weeds listed by the various
States, even the best of seed is likely to contain some
of them. For that reason there is possible no uniform-
ity in labeling. * * *

Although many laws have been passed in which
noxious weeds are listed by count, it is only since
the last Analysts' Convention that a definite, uniform
table giving the number of seeds per gram has been
prepared. This has been a great aid in simplifying
the labeling of weed seeds.

The work of the commercial analyst is being con-
stantly checked over by the official analyst. While it
is always a pleasure when results compare favorably,
this does not always happen. If the commercial ana-
lyst has done his work faithfully and honestly, he
need not hesitate to stand back of his tests. Of course,
at times, mistakes do occur and corrections have to
be made. * * *

The work of the official analysts in their yearly
conventions in attempting to find satisfactory uni-
form methods of analysis has already served to
clarify the situation. The problems arising from the
present complexity in using the results of these
analyses still remain paramount in the commercial
analyst's efforts to come within the interpretation of
so many different State departments. However, close
cooperation between all parties actually interested in
the commercial distribution of seed should result in
the enactment of future, good, practicable, construc-
tive legislation and the subsequent establishment of
a uniform base of operations.

The Seed Business and Its Safeguards

Speaking on "Safeguards in the Seed Business,"
Leonard H. Vaughan of Chicago pointed out that the
seedsman fulfills his duty and renders service for
which he is entitled to recompense when he delivers
to the consumer viable seeds that will, under favor-
able conditions, produce a merchantable crop of the
specific variety which the consumer purchases. If the
seed sold is purported to be select stock re-selected or
stock seed for which an extra price over that for
standard stock is paid, there is an added obligation
on the seedsman's part to furnish a better than aver-
age uniformity and sometimes other qualities, as ear-
liness of precocity in season, size, shape, etc.

Four Steps in the Seed Trade

In the general routine of the seed business, he con-
tinued, there may be four steps in distribution from
the farm or plot on which seed is actually grown and
saved until it reaches the hands of the consumer :

First is the actual or farmer grower. Second is
the contract grower who sells to the large general
seedsmen, and who specializes in certain vegetables
or flowers. He usually supplies farmers with stock
seeds and contracts for the product, generally at a
fixed price for certain quality. The growing farmer
is supposed, among other things, to return seed of
good or satisfactory germination, free from weather
damage and mechanical mixture in threshing.

Third is the useful wholesaler or jobbing seedsman.
Usually national in operations, he acquires informa-
tion on such problems as market demands, adapta-
bility of varieties, methods of cultivation, etc., much
more quickly and thoroughly than can growers with
a limited production or retailers with a limited terri-
tory. He is also a pioneer in developing new seeds-
men and outlets for the seed producers.

Fourth is the retailer or mail order seedsman.

On the other hand, we have seedsmen who perform
from one to all four of these various functions of dis-
tribution more or less efficiently and profitably. * * *

Four Means for Insuring Safety

Now for the four great safeguards iu the seed busi-
ness :

First is a trial ground which can tell us what we
sell— how our stock compares with what others sell;
what growers deliver us the "goods" for our money;
what growers to avoid and what new varieties we
should list.

Second come inspections of growing crops, both
seed and the actual market crops produced from
seedsmen's products, including visits to other seeds-
men and their trial grounds and to institutions to
study other methods and systems.

Third is a careful and rapid double check system
of keeping stock, filling and recording orders. Many
seedsmen "will argue the importance of this safeguard,
but I am convinced that no real successful seed busi-
ness can be run without an efficient system for such
records.

Fourth, and last, is the seed laboratory. As at
least 90 per cent of the seedsmen's complaints are
on germination, the safeguard possibilities of the seed
laboratory need no champion.

Difficulties Encountered in Securing Clean Seed

Speaking on this subject of general application and
interest. Geo. S. Green of Chicago remarked that in
respect to the analyst, who so frequently finds in our
seeds weeds which we did not know were there, some
of us are inclined to class him with the pessimist
who blew out the light which the optimist saw in the
darkness, but which really was not there. We fondly
■hope that a certain lot of seed is as near perfection
as care and machinery can make it. Then along
comes the killjoy analyst with his laboratory test
showing one Canada Thistle in a million seeds, more
or less, and all our hopes are blasted. The analysts
mean to be good fellows, but they are so blamed par-
ticular, not to say fussy. I am, of course, only re-
ferring to the men. Far be it from me to intimate
that a" lady would be fussy; I have been married too
long.

Seriously speaking, the most difficult problem in
the application of seed analysis to the practical work
of the seedsman is the measure of exactness and pur-
ity which is possible, considering the careless, even
slovenly habits of Mother Nature in putting weeds
where they are not wanted.

Methods and practices of recleaners of seeds have
been very greatly improved under the stimulus of a
more general demand for better seeds. But some-
times parcels of seed which are supposed to be en-
tirely free from certain noxious weeds prove to con-
tain an occasional seed of some prohibited sort. Ship-
ments of high grade seed have been refused and re-
turned to the recleaner with considerable expense
and loss, because of the supposed presence in the
bulk of an occasional noxious weed seed, none of
which could be detected upon repeated laboratory
tests, even though the quantity of the seed examined
was over 50 times the quantity ordinarily used for
purity analysis. Circumstances such as this increase
the risk and total cost of doing business, and the
seedsman justly thinks there should be some mar-
gin of tolerance which will protect honest intent and
yet not encourage evasion of law.

Laws Should Consider Intentions of Dealers

I believe the enforcement of seed laws should prop-
erly regard the character, intention and average per-
formance of the recleaner and distributor of seeds.
The man who habitually takes advantage of a mar-
gin of tolerance to label seeds with higher percentages
of germination or purity than actual tests show,
should be exposed; while the well intentioned seed
dealer should not be punished for those occasional
instances of variation which all analysts know to be
unavoidable.

Recleaning Difficulties

Among the serious practical difficulties encountered
by the recleaners of seeds may be mentioned : First,
the comparatively small percentage of seed which is
harvested free from weeds.

Second, the want of care upon the part of farmers
and country shippers to keep various lots and quali-
ties separate.

Third, the desire on the part of the farmer to har-
vest all the seed possible from his field regardless of
whether some parts of the field may have been in-
fested with noxious weeds.

Fourth, the fact that one process of cleaning or
' one machine is not sufficient to remove all kinds of
weeds.

Fifth, the variation in relative size and density of
field seeds and the weeds which they contain, so
that a process which will render perfectly clean one
parcel of Clover seed fails to produce satisfactory re-
sults in cleaning another parcel of seed of the same
variety containing the same weeds.

Sixth, and perhaps most important of all, lack of
proper application of good judgment and diligent
effort to the work. In other words, too much de-
pendence upon machine methods which should often
be varied greatly to secure the best results.

Much could be said under each of the above head-
ings, but one cannot include a manual of seed clean-
ing withiu the limits of a paper of this kind. Fur-
thermore, after years of experience and study, I find
so much yet to be learned that I am hesitant to try
to instruct others. However, it may be said that per-
fection is not at present attainable and both seeds-
men and analysts will have to be content with honest
endeavor and gradual improvement. These can be
attained, and notwithstanding many bad spots in the
trade. I think we have much cause for hopefulness
as to the future.

The efforts for direct marketing and the elimina-
tion of middlemen will result in a net loss to agri-
culture, if they do not recognize the place and serv-
ice of the recleaner of seeds who knows his business
and is willing to conduct it along proper lines.

I am hopeful of much good coming from joint
meetings of seedsmen and analysts, such as this. . To
understand each other's problems and to be willing
to help solve them will undoubtedly help to realize
the promise of the slogan of the Wholesale Grass
Seed Dealers Associafion, "Better Seeds — Better
Crops."

The wonderful improvement in the average quality
of the seeds now handled by the trade speaks well
for the team work of the analysts and the seedsmen's
associations. Gradually misunderstandings and short-
comings will 'be eliminated and American agriculture
will be permanently benefited by the work which
now seems so difficult and imperfect.

The last address of the afternoon was that of W. L.
Oswald, editor of the Seed World, on "Practical Co-
operation Between Seed Trade and Seed Analyst As-
sociations." Unfortunately this is the only paper, of
which we have not received a copy in time for inclu-
sion in this report. After Mr. Oswald had concluded,
the session was adjourned. An account of the ban-
quet which occurred Thursday evening, will be fouud
at the end of this report of the business sessions.

Friday Morning Session, Jane 23

This, designated the "Field Seed Session," was
again presided over by President Olds, who first in-
troduced H. H. Miller of Bloomington, 111., who pre-
sented a lengthy report for the Committee on Experi-
ment Stations. Though interesting this is too exhaus-
tive and detailed for reproduction or even summariz-
ing here.

Report on Seed Testing and Publicity

The report of this committee, given by C. C. Mas-
sie of Minneapolis, dealt mainly with the convention
of the Association of Seed Analysts held in Toronto
in December 1921 and with the relations between that
body and the A. S. T. A. Among the points of gen-
eral interest brought out were the following :

Many interesting subjects were discussed and some
serious matters decided by the Analysts' Convention,
and it is suggested that A. S. T. A. members would
find it of great profit to themselves to obtain copies
of the reports of all these subjects, which, it is under-
stood, can be obtained from the secretary of the
Analysts' Association by the payment of a small cost
fee.

Proposed Seed Legislation

The subject of the most vital interest to both our
associations appears to be prospective seed legisla-
tion. The report of the chairman of the legislative
committee of the analysts reviewed the past year's
work and included important recommendations as
follows :

(a) A Federal Bill to authorize the purchase of sam-
ples of vegetable seeds in open market, and if found
of improper quality, to publish the names and
addresses of the vendors.

(b) A Uniform State Vegetable Seed Bill, authorizing
the State officer to test samples of vegetable seeds
and publish the results if found to be of improper
quality, together with the names and addresses of
the vendors.

(c) To modify the Uniform State Seed Bill regulating-
agricultural seeds to include a new section au-
thorizing the administrative officer to secure an
injunction against a seedsman from selling seeds
which are contrary to the provisions of the seed
law. This section is identical in words with a sim-
ilar provision in the Pennsylvania Seed Law en-
acted in the year 1921.

It will be observed that the above recommenda-
tions are almost identical with the policies of the
Seed Trade Association. The second suggestion has
not yet been formally acted upon by a A. S. T. A. con-
vention, although it has been discussed rather fully
by couusel in the annual reports for the last two or

three years. At a conference between the officers of
our association, the chairman of the legislative com-
mittee of the Seed Analysts' Association and. the
botanist of the U. S. Department of Agriculture on
Nov. 10, 1921, a long step was taken toward the elim-
ination of the numerous objectionable features of
State vegetable seed legislation. It was agreed that
the administrative officer in a State may have the
authority to purchase samples of vegetable seeds, and
if they are found of unreasonable quality, to publish
the name and address of the seller.

There has been a long and serious conflict between
the Analysts' Association or some of its members and
the legislative committees of the seed trade associa-
tions on the question of the right of a State law to
authorize the seizure of seeds, which it is claimed
have violated the seed law. Effort has been started
in behalf of this radical punitive provision of the
seed law, but the action of the Seed Analysts' Asso-
ciation with the seedsmen's aide, apparently has dis-
posed of this difficult question in so far as the asso-
ciations are officially concerned.

New Rules for Hard Seed Analysis

Another most important discussion had to do with
the modification of the ten technical rules and regu-
lations for testing seeds. Many changes sug-
gested were simply in technical details, to which
there was no objection by your association's repre-
sentative. There were, however, serious objections
registered by the seedsmen to some of the proposed
modifications, notably a plan to modify the margins
of tolerance in the reports of percentages of germina-
tion. But none of these changes were adopted.

In regard to the important question of hard seeds
the almost universal conclusion of the analysts pres-
ent was to report them as non-germinating, thereby
obviously heavily decreasing the percentage of ger-
mination stated on the label. The A. S. T. A. repre-
sentative invited to express a legal opinion showed
that any attempt to report hard seeds as worthless
in respect to germination would be clearly illegal,
because these hard seeds have a germinating quality
which cannot, under the laws of the various States,
be denied. The convention, therefore, adopted a reso-
lution that all hard seeds should be included in the
total percentage of germination, but that a separate
statement should be made of the percentage of hard
seeds. For illustration, if the report on grass seed
indicates that there is S5 per cent sprouts, with 10
per cent hard seeds, the label attached to the goods
will say: Percentage of germination, 95 per cent; 10
per cent hard seeds.

Improved Methods Called For

The Analysts' Association conducts one of the most
interesting and vital bits of work done by any organi-
zation interested in seeds in the testing of the accu-
racy of the analysts' testing methods. The last con-
vention developed such an unfortunate report of in-
accuracies in these tests that the association fmallv
adopted a resolution calling upon the official State
laboratories and analysts to make a fundamental
change in their methods and equipment, and stating
that in 1924 a survey will be made by a committee
of the association, and 'only those laboratories which
show the necessary equipment and have competent
personnel will receive certificates as to their merit.
Those which fall without this classification will he
designated as incompetent to execute the laws.

James R. Howard, president of the American Farm
Bureau Federation was then introduced as a man who
prides himself on being a farmer. His address was
as follows:

The Farmer and the Seedsman

The chairman is right in saying that I pride my-
self on being a farmer. I have no other business in
this world, and I am glad to be here today and look
into the faces of some of the men whom I have been
patronizing for a number of years, and who in turn
have been patronizing me. For I not only buy much
seed of numerous kinds, but I occasionally have some
seed to sell, which usually goes through your chan-
nels.

The Farm Bureau has had a remarkable growth
since its organization ten or twelve years ago in
one of our Eastern States in connection with a local
Chamber of Commerce. It was called "Bureau" be-
cause that Chamber of Commerce had a number of
other bureaus connected with it; it was called
"County" because its limitations and functionings
were confined to that area; and the term "Agent"
came into use because the secretaries of those vari-
ous bureaus were called agents. Hence we have also
the terms "County Agent" and "Farm Bureau."

It soon developed that there was a need for larger
than county organization, so State federations were
formed, and later the last leg of the tripod was the

38

The Florists' Exchange

American Farm Bureau, which now has membership
in every State save one. .

The farmer has been the last to organize, so those
who question his right to do so have very insecure
ground for questioning, because they all have their
own business organizations of one kind or another.

Farm bureau work is distinctively along three gen-
eral lines : First, it is educational ; second, it is some-
what social; third, it is economic. But I am not
^oin°- to discuss these different functionmgs today.
° When I told Mrs. Howard that I was due at your
meeting today, I said to her, "What shall I tell those
men regarding seeds?" She said, "I know a little
more about hoe handles than I know about seeds.
But she added. "Tell them this: that when we buy
seeds to plant in our gardens, we, the women of the
country who very often have to tend those gardens
want to know we are going to get what we buy and
S is advertised. Secondly, tell them that we do
not Lie foi a great variety from which to select as
we would rather have our choice of two or three
thoroughly tested, well known, reliable varieties than
great pages of catalog descriptions of varieties that
we do not know anything about and have not been
well tried out in our own communities Tell them
we would rather have quality than superfluous pages

Lflth^s the truth. What the farmer wants is
also relable'sed; seed that is 100 per cent up to its
advertisement. The quality is worth more to the
farmer than the price he pays, and what we want
froin you men is service, together with standardized,
reliable seeds, honestly merchandised to us.

It is not tne purpose or function of the Farm Bu-
reau to handle seeds or any other commodity when
tue local trade will give the service to the farmer
But when the farmer cannot get the service which
Se demands, through regular trade channels, then
we reserve the right to handle the business ourselves,
Tv^n though we do not want to do it and think it is
better done in other hands.

I want to emphasize to you that we want standard-
ized varieties, we want service. We are willing to
pav for that service, and we had rather you would
lender it than for us to get into the business. I think
the time has come-and this is a part of our Farm
Bureau gospel-that people of this country must rec-
ognize their interdependence with other people. The
day of exploitation is passed, the time has come
when, whether farmers or seedsmen, whether rail-
road men or merchants or manufacturers or what not,
we are only going to succeed ;by recognizing that
which is best for our whole society and shaping our
courses in accordance with that principle.

Alex. Forbes Elected President

Following the applause that followed Mr. Howard's
talk the election of officers resulted in the unanimous
choice of Ales. Forbes for president and S. F. Leon-
ard for first vice-president. L. B. Reuter, New Or-
leans, was re-elected second vice-president, C. F. Ken-
del, secretary-treasurer, and Clifford Cornell, as-
sistant secretary.

J. C. Vaughan proposed S. F. Willard of Atlantic
City N. J., as an honorary member of the associa-
tion 'and Mr. Willard was so elected by a rising vote.

The following committees were announced and for-
mally appointed: Executive— L. L. Olds, chairman,
Kirby White, C. C. Massie, J. L. Hunt and J. C.
Vaughan.

Membership— H. G. Hastings, chairman, Fred.
Mangelsdorff, G. S. Green, B. Landreth, Jr., and M. W.
Pommer.

Mr. Woodruff then presented to retiring President
Olds a handsome gold watch given by the association
as a token of its esteem and appreciation of his work
during the past year.

Secretary Kendel read various communications and
invitations to the association to hold its 1923 conven-
tion in various cities. All these matters were referred
to the Executive Committee and the convention ad-
journed sine die.

The Seedsmen's Banquet

The banquet held Thursday evening in the Tiger
Room of the Hotel Sherman, was a delightful affair,
about 275 seedsmen and their friends participating.
There were professional entertainers who sang and
a director Who led the guests in community singing,
song books being distributed for this purpose. Clif-
ford Cornell of St. Louis was toastmaster ; the menu
was excellent ; and the tables were tastefully decor-
ated with cut flowers. The American Seedsman sup-
plied cigars and cigarettes and the Stetcher Litho-
graphing Co., of Rochester, N. Y., contributed paper
caps of various colors and odd, amusing design that
were promptly donned by the diners.

Prof. G. H. Moulton of the University of Chicago
was one of the principal speakers of the evening, hav-
ing for his subject "Reparation and the Allied Debts."
A. B. Brunker, president of the Liquid Carbonic Co.
of Chicago, who has spent much time abroad, spoke
of present day conditions there and at home, inter-
jecting a number of humorous comments into his talk.
The keynote of the serious part of his talk was
Mr. Hoover's oft expressed desire that the country
"put less politics into our business and more busi-
ness into our politics." After giving three rousing
cheers for the Chicago seedsmen, the entire party
joined in dancing, a splendid orchestra having been
provided for that purpose.

The Boat Ride

The handsome lake steamer Columbia left the Clark
st. dock Wednesday evening about 8 o'clock, with
about 250 of the seedsmen and their friends on
board. The evening was too delightfully cool to per-
mit the visitors to keep still and dancing was there-
fore the chief amusement of the evening. The lake
was a bit "choppy" and a stiff wind blew all the
time, making the experience all the more enjoyable,
especially to those who had never had a lake or
ocean trip.

The first stop was at the Municipal Pier where
some disembarked and took the street cars for their
hotels. Others remained on the boat until the end of
the trip, the boat finally docking at 11.50 at Clark
st., letting the guests off close to their hotels. It
was the end of a perfect day and more of a success
than the most optimistic had hoped for.

Snap Shots

Mr. and Mrs. Bradley of Templin Crockett Bradley
Co., Cleveland, O., made the trip to the convention by
auto. After the convention they continued West to
the Pacific Coast, planning to return home in Septem-
ber.

Robert Stubbins, American representative of T.
Sakata & Co., Yokahama, Japan, distributed hand-
some Japanese cigarette cases as souvenirs that were
much in demand. Mr. Stubbins has recently opened
an office at 20 E. Jackson blvd., Chicago.

Ed. Goldenstein of Vaughan's Seed Store was inde-
fatiguable in his efforts to give the visitors a good
time. He was continually on the job and how well he
succeeded is best told by his friends, that are legion.
Ed. was voted a prince when it comes to entertaining
seedsmen.

There were two conventions going on in adjoining
rooms at the Sherman Hotel at the same time, the
Hardware Retail Dealers Association, holding its con-
vention next to the seedsmen. Many seedsmen hesi-
tated as to which of the conventions they belonged
to. S. W. Pike of St. Charles, 111., never dreamed
of a second convention and on reaching the floor went
in and took his seat with the hardware men. After
a while when he heard so much about hammers, saws,
horns, etc., it dawned upon him that he was in the
right hotel but the wrong convention.

O. E. Glessner, who was in charge of the exhibit
of the R, C. McGill Co., San Francisco, distributed
neat pocket combs as souvenirs. On one side of
the comb there was a 5in. rule with decimals. This
was said to be for the measurement of the hairs that
might need combing. There were others who said
that so many of the seedsmen were bald headed they
had no use for a comb and it was for such as these
that the rule was intended. This double action was
a happy thought on the part of McGill & Co.

Carl Chesmore of the Chesmore Seed Co., St. Jo-
seph, Mo., was one of the first of the visitors to ar-
rive and the last to leave. He combined business with
pleasure, had a good time, sold many gross of Christ-
mas tree holders, placed an agency in Chicago for
them, and got dope on the Onion set situation that he
says is worth thousands of dollars to him.

The Madson Seed Co., Manitowoc, Wis., was repre-
sented by Chas. L. Kunz and Walter Hamilton. Both
these gentlemen left on Saturday after spending the
most enjoyable convention, as they put it, in the
history of the seed trade. They also accomplished
much business, being both buyers and sellers, but
mostly buyers.

The trade exhibit was the largest of any seed trade
convention and the variety of goods on exhibition was
greater than ever before. The catalog makers were
in the lead by a large majority, six of them display-
ing excellent lines of workmanship. Fertilizer men
were next numerically, but representatives of the
scientific side of the business as to root and seed in-
oculation were more numerous than before. The
motor cultivator houses, the Multitool Sales Co., the
bug killers, the germicide annihilators and the rat

trap man made up a heterogeneous exhibition for the
delectation of the seedsmen.

Never did Chicago put on such an excellent brand
of weather as the period of the seed trade convention.
It was just cool enough to be enjoyable from begin-
ning to the end. On the boat ride Wednesday night
some of the party who were not dancing had to repair
to the boiler rooms to keep warm. It may not have
been the heat from the boilers that gave the most
warmth, but it was an agreeable gathering never-
theless.

No one has mentioned it, but it might be remarked
that those at the banquet in the Tiger Room of the
Sherman appropriately "roared" their approval when
asked to give a cheer for the Chicago seedsmen.

The Trade Exhibition

The trade exhibition was the largest of which there
is any record. A few years ago when the nurserymen
and seedsman held their annual conventions on the
same dates at the Sherman House the joint exhibit
of the two organizations was not as extensive as the
exhibit staged by the various lines of industry repre-
sented here in 1922. The space allotted to the trade
exhibition was filled almost to the crowding point,
every available position being taken. The following

The Garden Bureau

The Garden Bureau, of which Leonard H. Vaughan
is chairman, and Jas. H. Burdett, secretary, had the
entire north end of the convention hall covered with
clippings from the various newspapers that used the
Bureau publicity service. These clippings were pasted
on green cardboard and suspended in long strips that
reached from the ceiling to the floor. They were ar-
ranged alphabetically by States, the various papers
in each State being represented by its title page,
headlines and every item it had published. It was
a great job to collect all these and arrange them in
such splendid form for reference and the informa-
tion of all who gave substantial support to the Gar-
den Bureau.

Much of the correspondence of the Garden Bureau
was shown in the same manner at the South end
of the convention hall. Letters and telegrams from
the editors of the various papers all over the coun-
try endorsing the service and at the same time ac-
cepting it for their use were also displayed, this ma-
terial alone covering a large area.

S. F. Leonard, First Vice-president A. S. T. A.

Mr. Leonard started business in a very small way
in December 1884, with a store on the Haymarket,
Chicago. His aim was to furnish the market gar-
deners of the Chicago territory with the best obtain-
able strains of seeds and he was soon successful in
building up a large local trade.

He then branched out into the mail order busi-
ness, supplying seeds direct to consumers in all parts
of the country and issuing his first catalog in 1888.

Later he went into the wholesale business, supply-
ing dealers with market gardeners' stocks. His busi-
ness grew and it was necessary to seek larger quar-
ters from time to time. In 1901 he had his business
incorporated under the name of the Leonard Seed
Co. and he has been active president of this firm ever
since.

As his business increased he branched out into the
growing of many varieties of garden seeds, including
Beans, Peas, Corn, Onion, etc. However, as times
changed methods of selling also changed and the direct
mail" order business with the consumers was grad-
ually dropped. Outside of the market gardening sec-
tions of Chicago, the firm now sells only to the deal-
ers, furnishing garden seeds and Onion sets.

Mr. Leonard was the pioneer Onion set grower in
the Chicago territory and has built up the largest
Onion set business enjoyed by any house in the coun-
try. .

Sweet Peas in the Lompoc Valley, Calif.

Our illustration of early flowering Sweet Peas on
the Burpee Floradale Farms in the Lompoc Valley,
Calif., was taken early in May. At Floradale Farms
Burpee is growing approximately 150 acres of Sweet
Peas in separate colors includiug the 1922 novelties,
Burpee's Orange, Cheerful and Sunburst Improved.
Before this date the Peas were well ripened and har-
vesting of some varieties had begun. Mrs. Warren
G. Harding, their outstanding novelty of last year,
promises to sive a very good crop, so that they expect
to have sufficient seed to supply the demand. Unfor-
tunately, their last year's crop was so short that they
could fill only a small part of the orders received
for it.

W. Atlee Burpee, Jr., has been on the Floradale
Farms for a month past making daily rounds with
Burpee's resident manager, Harry Buckman, and
watching progress closely. Mr. Burpee recently left
Floradale to attend the meeting of the American Seed
Trade Association at Chicago.

Alexander Forbes

Elected President American Seed Trade Association

Born in Scotland, Alexander Forbes was appren-
ticed with Henderson & Sons, Den Nursery in the
"Ancient City" of Brechin, Forfarshire, in the early
seventies. From there he went to Cork, Ireland, where
he remained two years with Thos. McKenzie & Sons,
Camden Quay. After this he joined the staff of Peter
Lawson & Sons, Ltd., at 106 Southwark st., London,
S. E., where he remained four years, part of which
time he managed their retail store at 54 Bishopsgate
St., within, City of London.

In 1877 he went to Midlands and managed for nine
years the seed house of John Perkins & Sons, 52
Market sq., Northampton. While here he was largely
instrumental in forming the first county horticultural
society that Northampton possessed, and was its sec-
retary and treasurer for seven years. This society
was formed after the pattern of the Shropshire Horti-
cultural Society, and was second only to it among
all the provincial societies.

In 1886 he came to America and became a mem-
ber of the staff of Peter Henderson & Co. In less than
a year he was made general manager and later became
vice-president of the company, both of which offices
he held until he severed connections in 1912. During
these twenty-six years he saw many changes at
35 and 37 Cortlandt St., New York. The heads of the
firm, Peter Henderson, Alfred Henderson and James
Beid, all passed away in the first twelve years, but
during his quarter century's connection with this
firm it went on steadily increasing in magnitude each
year.

In January 1913 he retired from the Henderson
firm and bought a controlling interest in the firm
of J. F. Noll & Co., 115 Mulberry St., Newark, N. J.,
later changing the name to Alexander Forbes & Co.,
doing a general seed, bulb and implement trade, both
locally and all over the Union. The firm also exports
and imports garden seeds quite considerably. Mr.
Forbes is ably assisted by two of his sons.

Boy Moulton remarks in his column in the New
Yvi-b Evening Mail that, "In a private family argu-
ment the other day, a New Tork woman knocked her
husband out with a crock of Geraniums, which is
what you might call saying it with flowers."

ing experiments at the Missouri Botanical Gardens-
was interesting, and we are tempted to give the for-
mula a trial, but the article does not tell how to get
the shading off in the Fall. Will it wear off or will we-
have to get up and rub it off, and what with?

"Woolgatherer" mentions some desirable varieties-
( named) of Pyrethrum on page 1526, and already we-
have had some inquiries about these varieties. We-
have been selecting Pyrethrums for the past few
years, but have no named varieties to offer yet. We-
find that it is hard to find something choice out of a
good amount of seedlings, just as "Woolgatherer"'
states. We would like "Woolgatherer" or anyone else,
to advise us where we can secure some of these or
any other named varieties.

West Point, Pa. Orchadotte Nurseries.

— We assume the shading would need wetting and
rubbing off in the Fall unless it was worn off suffi-
ciently by that time. Perhaps someone can say.

No catalog that we have on hand other than French
or English, lists named varieties of Pyrethrum ro-
seum. For that matter, named varieties of perennials
appear very scarce, the only exceptions being. Peonies-
and Iris and in a lesser degree Oriental Poppies and
Phlox. For the rest, most lists are confined to species
and forms which as "Woolgatherer" says, are raised
from seed.

It is not improbable that this seed is taken from
choice named varieties, but the fact remains that
practically nothing raised from seed in the peren-
nial line can be relied upon to come 100 per cent good,,
and until they have flowered, their actual worth can-
not be estimated. Only long selection, repeated ro-
guiug and protection against exterior influences wilt
bring such plants to the point where there is little
variation. By such means the Allman Nurseries have
developed their Philadelphia Pink Snapdragon, and
they, of course, had to take hold of a type originally
developed by someone else way back in the last cen-
tury.

We must assume that the pink Snapdragon, and
most of the other colors have been developed from
the species indigenous to England. The old English
and Scotch florists of 100 years or so ago were not
averse to taking up native wildings as most of us are.
today. They took up Pansies and held shows and:
started us on the road to our present day strains,
and they took up Snapdragons, too, and made great
things out of them, but that same tendency for stripes,
as they had in Tulips, led them to go after the stri-
ated flowers, with which they used to do battle -
against each other at the exhibitions.

In later years, the fashion for stripes declined, and
so came the finer types of selfs which gradually de-
veloped until now there are 50 or more varieties com-
ing practically true from seed, and in a most gor-
geous range of colors, although we are far from per-
fection yet. All this goes to show that if we would aim:
at the highest types in perennials, we must select
seedlings with a ruthless hand, and when we get a
treasure, propagate it lest it never appear again-
from seed.

Flowers are the beautiful hieroglyphics of Nature,
by which she indicates how much she loves us.

Progress of Nursery Stock Investigations in 1922

{Continued from page 25)

skeptical on this point. In addition. I believe it is
commonly recognized that there is a great variation in
individual seedling root stocks. Because of this varia-
tion in individual seedlings which might be mani-
fested either in the disease resistance, difference in
development of root systems, or in some other charac-
ter, it seemed advisable for us to give very serious
attention to the possibility of propagating fruit tree
stocks vegetatively.

Propagating Fruit Stocks by Cuttings

The propagation of Apple varieties by hardwood
cuttings has been attempted a number of times with
indifferent success. The propagation of many fruit
stocks by softwood cuttings is for some classes of
plants not only possible, but probably commercially
practical, the objection being that it requires some
special equipment and more or less controlled condi-
tions.

Layering is another possibility, but is rather slow
and more or less expensive. In all these operations
the method of attack has previously been to start
with a part of the plant which normally grows above
the ground and induce it to send out roots. We have
simply reversed this method and taken the part which
is below the ground, that is a root cutting, and al-
lowed it to send out shoots from adventitious buds
and at the same time develop roots. Our method is
probably best described as a combination of root cut-
tings and mound layering.

Making Apple Root Cuttings

From a lot of 5000 Yakima seedlings about 50,000
plants have been secured from root cuttings and the
5000 seedlings also retained with sufficient roots so
they could be planted out. Cuttings were made of
the* tap roots and also from the side roots aud graded
according to position. They were made about three
inches in length the last of January and fore part of
February and stored separately according to size and
type in flats covered with moist sawdust and buried
in the ground to a depth of about three feet. They
were planted in the open at Diamond Springs about
March 25 ; at Bell, from March 20 to April 15, and at
South Haven as late as April 21. They were set in a
vertical position in rows, 4ft. apart, spaced lin. to 2in.
apart in the row and buried to a depth of about an
inch. Buds started to form and shoots appeared above
the ground in three weeks' time. In most cases two
to three shoots formed on each cutting, and in some
cases as many as ten. As the shoots developed, earth
was filled up around the plants and roots furnishing
the new growth. .

At Diamond Spring these shoots have made a
growth large enough, so that they can be budded now,
while at Bell and South Haven, they can be budded
later. In one 50ft. row of Apple root cuttings I
counted 7S9 shoots. Many of those shoots had started
to develop roots and the rooted plants could be taken
off this Fall. In other rows I counted 619, 316 and
295 shoots. The latter may not be large enough to bud
this season, but will give rooted plants which can be
lined out next Spring. The original root cuttings are
allowed to remain in the ground, as we find that the
second year they send out even stronger shoots than
the first year. Just how manj' years this process can
go on without renewing the original stock is some-
thing we still have to find out.

One great advantage of this method of raising
stocks is that hand work is practically over by the
middle of June, after which only horse cultivation is
necessary. With seedlings, however, several hand
weedings as well as hand cultivation have to be made
during July and August. By allowing the original
root cuttings to remain in place, no planting is neces-
sary the second and probably the third or fourth sea-
son. Judged simply from the financial angle stocks
can be raised in this way at relatively little expense,
but the important significance of this method is that
it offers a practical way of multiplying any individual
tree that has outstanding characteristics that make
it of value for stock purposes.

The method applies not only to Apple stocks, but
also has proven equally as efficient a means of propa-
gating Pryus usuriensis. P. calleryana, Myrobalan, St.
Julien and Mazzard Cherries, the Almond, and the
Sour Orange. The only common fruit-tree stocks
which we have not been able to handle in a satisfac-
tory way by this "method are Peach and Mahaleb
Cherry.

Our next thought was, if stocks can be propagated
in this way, why not direct propagation of the va-
rieties themselves? With Apples, we are now experi-
menting as to the possibility of propagating more than
60 varieties by root cuttings. We have found that
with practically all varieties roots develop above the
graft union. With many of our common varieties, like
Northern Spy, Baldwin, Gano. Smokehouse, and a

number of others, about 50 per cent of the trees de-
velop their own roots above the union. Cuttings can
be made from these roots and varieties actually propa-
gated by root cuttings. We are giving a great deal of
time aud study to this method of direct propagation
and it is probable that our report another year may
be devoted almost exclusively to this phase of our
work.

Some Problems with Rose Stocks

The sub-project which deals with Roses probably
takes as much time and thought as any part of our
work. As with every other phase of nursery activity,
there are almost as many ideas regarding the best
stocks for Roses as there are men handling them.
In our Rose stock experiment we are using stocks
now in use commercially, namely. Manetti. canina.
Seven Sisters, Madame Plantier, Wax Rose. Ragged
Robin, cinnamonea, multiflora japonica, and rugosa.
In addition to these commonly grown stocks, we are
using Setigera, Wichuraiana, multiflora cathayensis,
M. Polyantha, souleana, setigera. rubrifolia. aud sev-
eral others. Souleana, setigera and rubrifolia come
readily from seed, the rest of our stocks are from
softwood and hardwood cuttings. With all our newer
stocks, our seedlings and cuttings trace back to indi-
vidual mother plants. One hundred thousand soft-
wood cuttings will be put in this Summer for our
stock work and about 10 or 12 hybrid teas will be
budded on them. A supply of bud wood of each va-
riety is beiug worked up this year, the buds all trac-
ing back to one mother plant. For this reason and
as all our newer stocks trace back to one plant, we
believe that the possibility of variation, due to the
individual plant, has been reduced to a minimum. We
cannot yet give you any definite information regard-
ing Rose stocks, but we believe that in the Rose stock
test which is now under way at Bell, and which we
hope later to repeat in different localities, we have
laid the basis for real definite information.

In conclusion, may I say, that we are not making
recommendations or suggestions regarding any
changes in nursery practices. We believe, however,
that we have several very interesting leads which
may eventually pass from the experimental to the
commercial stage and we hope that it will be pos-
sible to report substantial progress on our work to
you at your meeting next year. We appreciate greatly
your interest and we need your continued interest
and support.

Beautifying Kansas City

(Continued from page 11)
and used for playgrounds. This park occupies the
300ft. between the Chandler establishment and the
street car tracks.

The ground to the north, toward the city, is con-
trolled by the Nichols Co. for several blocks, and
character of improvements is thus guaranteed.

The Chandler site is on low ground ; the boule-
vards southward bound towards the residence dis-
trict, rise sharply, wending through wooded heights.
To the west there is level ground ; and nearby is a
riding academy's tract; beyond that further eleva-
tions. North and northeast is rising ground, and
several fine estates of large area, improved in earlier
days by some of the citizens who had visions of resi-
dential developments here.

Much of the level ground to the west and south
of the Chandler tract is to be occupied by the busi-
ness district project. The higher ground to north,
toward the present older residence and business dis-
tricts, is to be set aside for apartment houses and
hotels.

The landscape engineering department of the busi-
ness, which has been operated since 190S, has helped
greatly in the beautifying of the residential districts.
In the earlier days of the Country Club development,
the Chandlers performed a large part of the land-
scaping service for the district, in behalf of Mr. Nich-
ols, and of purchasers of vacant property. The flower
store and greenhouses have had very substantial
growth in business, partly through advantageous loca-
tion, but largely, it must be admitted, through the
quality of flowers and service.

The Opportunity Grasped Develops

A very important factor Inwards education of the
public to appreciation of well decorated grounds was
the availability of the landscaping and plant service
of the Chandlers and others in Kansas City.

And as the extent of the district, and the opportu-
nity for further expansion of service, develop, the
Chandlers are extending their ability to serve. They
are building for the indefinite future. One son of
C. A. Chandler, E. R. Chandler, was graduated from
the department of floriculture of the University of
Illinois a year ago ; he is now active in the store and
houses. Another son, George A. Chandler, is taking
the course in landscape architecture in that univer-
sity.

This preparation for larger service is needed here;
for the impetus toward ample ground planning and
planting has had a remarkable effect throughout
the city.

In the Nichols tracts, plots have usually been sold
with plants in, except when tracts are large and pur-
chasers prefer to plan their own grounds. In the
past few years, the influence of this practice has re-
sulted in a veritable fever of landscape architecture.
Real estate firms declare that they cannot sell a tract
unless it is "landscaped ;" and in many districts, plots
are sold planted.

Some larger firms of real estate operators are now
employing their own landscape architects and plan-
ners ; the result being a comparatively smaller vol-
ume of new business for the established landscape
institutions. But these companies are reaping the
reward of work well done in the past, because every
former customer is buying plants and annuals nearly
every year.

The expansion of opportunity is not alone with re-
spect to new plots to be built upon, however. For
over the entire city there are thousands of home
grounds, which people are being stimulated to im-
prove, because of the prevalent, the almost universal,
demand for well decorated home grounds.

One Kansas City nurseryman and florist remarked,
for instance, that this Spring he had a very large
number of orders for landscaping and planting lots of
50ft. and 100ft. !

They Pay — and Cost Is Low

Here is the remarkable result of this general ten-
dency to home improvement, stimulated by the ag-
gressive merchandising of the service and products of
the Chandlers and others :

People discover that, after all, proper landscaping,
proper planning and planting, are not so tremendously
expensive. It pays for the real estate operator ; a lot
and house sell for more when carefully planted, and
sell far more readily. Yet, at the same time, such
lots and houses are far cheaper, in some Kansas City
districts, than lots similarly situated in some other
cities noted for beautiful residence districts. It is
said that lots can be secured in parts of the Country
Club district, enjoying all the varied benefits of sur-
roundings carefully landscaped, at $35 to $75 a foot,
compared with $100 to $200 a foot for almost identi-
cal property in almost identical districts in certain
other cities. This condition is partly due to the
forehanded planning and work with property "from
the ground up" in comparatively new territory.

J. K. Smith Himself Again

We are interested and gratified to note in the June
issue of The American Seedsman another article by
our elusive and still incognito friend, John Kiugdon
Smith. This is, again, a carefully prepared, con-
vincing examination of the side of the situation sug-
gested by its title — "Are Our Exports in Danger?" —
with special reference to matters that interest the
seedsmen readers of that journal. It is especially
valuable, however, in that it reviews the subject —
even though briefly — from the very earliest stages,
pointing out just how and why the European quar-
antine rulings came into existence, and then showing
how modern conditions affect both those regulations
(so far as they still exist) and the stringent rulings
that our own authorities are endeavoring to have
recognized and made impregnable. (Of course, the
National Nurseryman has said that Qu. 37 already
is impregnable — but on this we still beg leave to dif-
fer.)

Mr. Smith points out that "The vital difference
between the European action of twenty years ago
and the F. H. B.'s Qu. 37 lies in the fact that the
latter is directed against latent insect pests and dis-
eases while Europe temporarily quarantined against
a specific fearful epidemic." He might have added
that the European edict was directed also against
a specific country (though phrased in some cases to
read "any locality in which vines [grapes] are
grown)" whereas Qu. 37 is inclusive of all the five
continental divisions aside from our own "and any
other foreign countries" as well. Hardly a specific
description, although unmistakably inclusive !

Continuing, Mr. Smith presents other of the argu-
ments and incontrovertible facts brought out by vari-
ous speakers — both American and foreign — at the
Washington conference. Altogether it is a thoroughly
worth while article.

By the way, Mr. Smith's name was included among
the published, presumably official, list of "those pres-
ent" at the Conference. Did anybody meet him? We
still look forward to that privilege.

Business is easing up. There has been
a real hot spell driving the people to the
country. There are weddings daily and a
steady demand for design work, but
things are sufficiently quiet that vacations
may now be planned. There are lots of
flowers to fill the demand.

An important Rose show was held by
the Rose Society of Ontario in Jenkins
-Art Galleries this week. There were a
large number of entries and keen compe-
tition in all classes, including profes-
sional and the two amateur classes. It
was a magnificent exhibition with entries
from all over Ontario. The halls were
crowded with interested spectators dur-
ing the whole two days of the Rose show.
The Rose Society has a membership of
650, and there were 14S entries.

At the "Better Homes Exposition" at
Hamilton, the John Council Co. had an
exhibit; Edward Gale, the manager of its
retail department, gave a demonstration
one evening, before an immense crowd, of
the making of a bridal bouquet.

The Hamilton Horticultural Society
held a flower show at which J. W. Beau-
mont and Col. Van Wagner exhibited har-
dy flowers and the John Counon Co. had
a fine exhibit of shrubs and cut flowers)
arranged on a table for six persons.
These exhibits were not entered in com-
petition. The judges of the other ex-
hibits were W. E. Groves, manager, John
Connon Co., and president C. F. G. A.,
and W. H. Gray.

Hall & Robinson of Montreal have
been showing some late varieties of Sweet
Peas grown from seed supplied by Geo.
Robinson of Victoria, B. C.

Investigations are being made in Brit-
ish Columbia to find land suitable for
settlement by Dutch farmer.-. These are
being carried on by J. A. Smidt of
Groningeu, representing the Dutch for-
eign office. A number of planters in the
East Indies wish to settle in a well or-
ganized country. Conditions on Vancouver
Island, B. C, appeared to be suitable
for bulb growing, he said, and there was
a possibility of establishing a bulb in-
dustry there.

The Montreal florists are busy prepar-
ing for the C. F. G. A. convention to be
held in that city August S, 9, 10 and 11.
Those from New York and Eastern
States going by motor will find good
roads. Western visitors will find the trip
by boat by way of the Thousand Islands
and the Lachine Rapids one of the most
attractive water trips along the lakes
and rivers. Plans are being made for d,
large attendance. G. C. K.

The Florists' Exchange

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

Fertilizers Getting Cheaper?

Such was the heading of a recent note
-and happily it's true in some instances
when one buys in big lots. But it's dif-
ferent if you have a penchant for trying
special fertilizers, and in such small lots
that you visit the ordinary druggist. The
-other day I wanted a pound of iron sul-
phate and the same quantity of nitrate of
potash. In common parlance, these are
known as copperas and saltpetre respec-
tively, worth, wholesale, I suppose, about
-5c. a pound. For the iron I was asked
45c. a pound and for the saltpetre, $1.00.
Who said things had reached normalcy?

"The Only Horticultural Magazine"

Get that paragraph in the Seattle let-
ter recently? And the words came from
3. man who knows and grows plants; not
such ordinary things as any old odd la-
borer knows about, but hardy plants that
■call for skill and knowledge. One of these
days, maybe, I'll run over by wireless to
see Tom Wylie's Violas. Evidently he
.has the same notions about class as I
.have.

A Glass Cleaner

Have you noted that ad of the Ander-
son Specialty Co.? Many a greenhouse
man has sighed for a really easy dirt re-
mover for glass roofs. If one has ever
tried to clean off the coating that sets
on greenhouses near a railroad, he will
appreciate this new liquid which leaves
no grease and neither injures the paint
nor putty. I'm taking it for granted it
will do what is claimed for it, other-
wise the makers wouldn't be sharing the
same page as the best known Chicago
greenhouse builders.

A Simple Lawn Sprinkler

The month of June certainly has not
■called for the hose to any extent, in the
New York area at least. We had about
double our average June quota, 6.25in.
in the first three weeks. We may have a
■dry spell, however, and seedsmen will
then have a call for sprinklers. The pat-
terns are legion, but the Dayton, which
I examined recently, strikes me as a good,
yet inexpensive, fitment. It is made in
rtwo types, the smaller one having a range
of 3ft. to 56ft., the larger size covering
loft, to 80ft., according to the adjust-
ment, which is -simple. The pressure
causes it to rotate; the water is sent out
•direct, the rotary movement carrying it
either in half or full circle. Any nursery-
man or florist would find it a useful appli-
ance for watering special blocks of stock.

What Sprays of Green to Grow

C. P. R., X. J.

— If you are planning to grow com-
mercially sprays of green, we would ad-
vise you to grow Asparagus plumosus.
We do not think it would be advisable
for you to grow- Sprengeri.

Geraniums for Identification

J. M., N. J.

— It is extremely difficult to identify
the almost innumerable varieties of Ge-
raniums, except the distinctly commercial
such as are most used for bedding pur-
poses. We think, however, that speci-
men No. 1, which you sent us for identi-
fication, is Mrs. Lawrence, and that No. 2
is Scarlet Bedder.

Fruit Culture

H. M. S., X. J. — We have no authoritative
information regarding the most suitable
section of America, Canada or Mexico for
the profitable culture of the Quince, edible
Crabapple and Plum. We believe con-
siderable quantities of Quinces are grown
in New York State, but being a hardy
fruit it succeeds almost anywhere except
in damp valleys. Crabapples and Plums,
too, will do anywhere where they are not
subject to late Spring frosts.

Side Bench Crops

I have a house running east and w-est
with top light only. The eaves are 4ft.
What can I grow on the side benches?
Also, can I grow Rhubarb under a Carna-
tion bench?— F. A. M., Pa.

— Assuming the benches are about 3ft.
above ground, there are lots of things
you could grow. Many use such benches
for propagating all kinds of stock.

Assuming the temperature is moderate,
you could handle several of the various
annuals or biennials as are grown for
Winter or early Spring, such as Pansies,
Calendula, Mignonette and Forgetmenot.
Anything that does not grow tall. You
could even plant the benches to Aspara-
gus plumosus, if not set too close to the
sides of the house.

If you mean forcing Rhubarb, that is
easy. Strong roots, lifted late in the
Fall and allowed to stand packed close in
a frame or in the open until subjected to
several good frosts of say 10 to 15 degs.,
can then be taken into a house and
packed in soil under a bench. Surround
the front with burlap or bags to shut
out light and in due course excellent Rhu-
barb of finer flavor than that grown in

Exterior view of Convention Hall, Kansas City, Mo., where the 38th Annual
Convention of the S. A. F. & O. H, will be held in August next.

the open will be available. See the
roots are kept moist.

After the roots cease to yield good
stalks, set them in a frame or sheltered
place and plant out when weather per-
mits in the Spring, that is, if the stock is
worth anything to you. Roots that have
been forced will be fit again for the pur-
pose in two seasons if given good ground
and plenty of liquid manure.

Cleveland, 0.

Cleveland Revives Cooperative
Publicity

President James A. McLaughlin,
through his able publicity committee, is
making a determined effort to restablish
the one per cent plan of raising the money
to finance a sustained publicity campaign.
The results of this constructive work will
be to again bring the Fifth City to the
fore in uptodate florists' advertising. The
old spirit of enterprise, for many months
absent, is returning to the Cleveland
Florists Club, and let us hope its return
will be abiding.

Growers' and retailers' contracts are
now being distributed, and it is the plan
of the committee to start collecting
through the wholesale houses just as soon
as a majority of the retailers and growers
in the Cleveland district sign up. The
application of one per cent will be gen-
eral, as it is agreed that this figure is
equitable for all.

The retailers form covers the purchase
of flowers in the "Cleveland and other
wholesale markets." All growers consign-
ing stock to the Cleveland market are be-
ing presented with contracts, and it is
to be hoped that all will consider it a
duty to contribute to the fund.

The perfecting of this plan will raise
from $15,000 to $20,000 annually to be
employed in first class publicity methods
for increasing the sale of the wares of
the florist in this district. Every person
connected with the business will be bene-
fited by this great cooperative work..
Publicity has helped in the past, and its
intelligent use will increase business again.
Every florist, therefore, should be zealous-
ly for it, and should eagerly place his
or her name upon the dotted line in its
favor. "Come on, everybody!" says the
Publicity Committee of the Cleveland
Florists Club.

St. Louis, Mo.

Convention Hall, Kansas City, Mo., where the 38th Annual Exhibition of the S. A. F. and O. H. will be held on

August 15 to 17 next

The above view was taken during a photographers convention and gives a good idea of what the hall is like. For the S. A. F. exhibit every

foot of space in the oval is taken up. There are several very good locations still to be had in the arcades, situated at the east and west sides

of the floor, and prospective exhibitors are urged to send their applications for space without delay.

Market Slow

The very warm weather prevailing
causes dullness in transient trade. The
poor quality of most flowers and their
keeping qualities do not encourage the
public to buy. Demand is now confined
to funeral work and occasional birthdaj'
bouquets. Gladioli are increasing in sup-
ply and will shortly be on the counters
of the wholesalers. Carnations are get-
ting smaller. Columbia Roses are coming
of fairly good quality. Saturday, June
24, good stock was decidedly scarce, and
the retailers were hunting for it. Butter-
fly and Golden Ophelia formed the bulk
in supply. Columbia will soon be coming
in, and we will surely welcome this Sum-
mer standby.

The season now at its close has been a
good one. Summer business, with a little
publicity, will increase the demand. There
are birthdays and other anniversaries in
Summer, and we must let the public know
it. Carnations are rapidly coming to an
end. Vacations, store clearings and al-
terations will now fill up our time, while
the preparations for the S. A. F. meet-
ing at Kansas City, which promises to
be one of the largest gatherings in history
of the society, are also engrossing our
thoughts.

Here and There

George Kuehner has been on elec-
tion duty the past few days.

Saturday, June 24, failed to see the
usual special flower sales, stock being en-
tirely too scarce.

The July meeting of the club will take
place at Denker's, St. Charles, July 13.
This will be an important meeting, and
President Rowe wants a good attendance.

Harry Young has had a successful sea-
son. The store is managed by Mrs.
Young, who has a large society trade.

The Market

June 27.— Beginning on Thursday
or Friday of last week, and continuing
through Tuesday of this week, an almost
unprecedented and a somewhat startling
change — a change for the better by the
way — took place in the wholesale cut
flower market of this city. This change
was due firstly to a decided curtailment
of the arrivals of outdoor grown flowers,
because of the frequent recent heavy
rains, and of the indoor grown blooms,
because of the replantings in the green-
houses of such staple stock as Carnations
and Eoses; and secondly, to a very pro-
nounced increase in the demand for flow-
ers of all kinds, brought about by an
apparently larger use of these for school
graduation bouquets and for June wed-
dings.

American Beauty Roses are in mod-
erate supply. Special grade blooms are
selling at 20c. to 60c. each, and other
grades at proportionate prices. Other
Boses are in normal supply for the season.
The increased demand for these has
caused a sharp advance in prices. Top
grade blooms are bringing in general from
12c. to 25c. each, Key realizing 50c. each.
The advance in the price of No. 2 and
No. 1 grade blooms is very sharp, the
former fetching from $4 to 86 per 100 for
the better quality blooms of this grade,
and about $3 for those of poorer quality.

The smaller supply of Carnations, even
of those of the poorer quality, was ab-
sorbed by the active demand today, and
has been for several days. Select grade
blooms are bringing $4 to $8 per 100, and
ordinary $3 to $4.

Cattleyas are moving out well in re-
sponse to an active demand, at prices
ranging from 60c. to $1.50 each. White
Lilies are selling for $15 to $20 per 100
rubrum Lilies at $8 to $12, and Lily of
the \ alley at $2 to $8 and occasionally
$10, the last figure being exceptional.

As regards miscellaneous flowers, the
supply includes Gypsophila, both annual
and perennial, Gaillardias, Coreopsis,
Candytuft, Japanese Iris, Gladioli, Phlox,
cold storage Peonies, very few Sweet
Peas, Daisies, Delphinium, both annual
and perennial, Snapdragon, White Bou-
vardia, Feverfew, blue Cornflowers and
Mignonette. All of these miscellaneous
flowers meet with unusual demand at un-
precedented prices. We have never be-
fore seen the market so thoroughly
cleaned up of all kinds of cut blooms,
both indoor and outdoor grown on June
27, as this year.

On account of the large arrivals of an-
nual Gypsophila reinforced by small ar-
rivals of the perennial sort, both of which
are used to advantage in bouquet making,
such greens as Asparagus are not moving
out in sympathy with the sharp demand
for cut flowers. Smilax is selling very
slowly at much lower prices, as may be
seen in our price quotations.

Max Schling's School of Floristry

Mas Schling's School of Floristry
opened on Monday, June 26, at 2 p m in
the Hotel Netkerland at 5th ave. and
o9th st., next door to Mr. Schling's shop.
One hundred sixty-nine, who had regis-
tered for this school, were present at
the opening session. The applications of
212 florists received after June 10, the
closing date for registration, had to be
rejected. Some of the applicants were

Kansas, In-
three were

from as far away as Texas,
diana and California, and
from South Africa.

The first day's lesson was on the most
appropriate kind of flowers for a bride
to carry, and the making of the bridal
bouquet, Mr. Schling illustrating the
principles in his usual deft and artistic
manner. He also demonstrated the make-
up of a new kind of bridal bouquet for
brides who go direct from the place of
marriage to the train. The feature in
this ease was a smaller bouquet in the
center of the large one, which, upon the
removal of a pin is easily detached from
the large affair and worn as a corsage
bouquet on the wedding trip.

At the Tuesday morning session Mr.
Schling spoke on the different kinds of
flowers which may enter into the brides-
maids bouquet and demonstrated the mak-
ing up of such a bouquet. In the after-
noon he spoke on and illustrated the dif-
ferent kinds of flowers which enter into
table centerpieces. Wednesday morning
the wiring and preparation of flowers
for use in different kinds of designs and
bouquets were taken up, the actual work
of wiring and preparing the flowers be-
ing done by the pupils.

A characteristic of this School of Flo-
ristry, on which we expect to make a
further report next week, is the intense
interest manifested by all the pupils. An-
other is the intelligent, reasonable and
logical questions which they ask. The
benefit of this School of Floristry as con-
ducted by Mr. Schling must certainly be
far-reaehing in the improved character
of the floral work that the pupils will
execute hereafter.

Items of Interest

E. J. Hession, 984 Madison ave.,
reports the execution of a large num-
ber of wedding orders during June, most
of them in this city, but some in the
suburban towns.

J. G. Leikens, Inc., Madison ave., at
55th St., have opened their Newport, B.
I., store. Bobert Clifford, store manager,
is now at Newport and Mrs. Leikens will
go there about July 1. Both the New
York and Newport stores have been busy
this month with wedding orders, and the
former store reports an excellent steamer
business.

Henry Hart, 1000 Madison ave., and
Mrs. Hart left the city on Saturday, June
24 for Bangeley Lakes, Maine, where
they will pass the Summer at their cot-
tage, which is located on a wooded five-
acre tract on the shore of a lake. Mr.
and Mrs. Hart, have near their cottage,
a garden in which they take a great deal
of interest and pleasure.

M. A. Bowe, 332 5th ave., reports an
extremely large steamer business in June
and many wedding orders.

A. Le Moult, 51 West 28th st., has a
neat placard in his window, on which is
the legend, "Graduation Bouquets and
Baskets a Specialty with TJs;" also one
reading "Complete Wedding Bouquet
Outfits." In the same window is a dis-
play illustrating what is mentioned on
the placard, namely wedding and gradua-
tion bouquets and graduation baskets of
mixed flowers. So attractive was this
window display that the Illustrated Neios
took a photo of it for publication.

Meeting of Commercial Orchidists

Joseph Manda, George Baldwin,
Edward Boehrs and John E. Lager, who
will be the principal exhibitors of or-
chids in the commercial classes at the
Tenth International Flower Show, to be
held at the Grand Central Palace March
12 to March 17, 1923, held a meeting on
Monday, June 26, in Secretary John
Young's office, and arranged for the
classes and premiums connected with the
show.

Hans Plath and family of San Fran-
cisco sailed for Europe on the S. S. Or-
bita, on Saturday, June 24 ; Mrs. R. E.
Darbee from the same city sailed the
same day on the S. S. Olvmpia.

J. S. Fenrich, 43 West 18th st., is tak-
ing a few days off preparatory to doing
double duty in the absence of his head
salesman, James Butig, who leaves the
city Saturday, July 1, for a vacation of
several weeks.

A Fourth of July Window Display

Last week in the window of the
McAlpin Shop in the Hotel McAlpin on
West 34th st., there was a noteworthy
Independence Day display. The ingeni-
ously and artistically arranged items were
red, white and blue candies, red, white
and blue ribbon and paper, red fire crack-
ers, and Independence bells made of can-
dy, suspended by ribbons.

As we were looking at this window, we
thought: "If a candy shop can make
such an Independence Day window dis-
play as this, what might not retail flo-
rists, with an abundance of red, white
and blue flowers, ribbons, etc., at their
command, do in the same direction? Cer-
tainly they have it in their power to make
very attractive displays if they desire to
so do, and to make them for several con-
tinuous days in advance of the holiday
itself. Why not keep up with the candy-
men at least?"

Becent callers at S. A. F. headquarters,
43 West 18th st., were A. E. Gude, Wash-
ington, D. C; Obie F. Shelnutt of Wheat
& Shelnutt, Inc., Florists, Columbus, Ga.,
and Harry A. Demeranville, vice-president
of the Minge Floral Co., Mobile, Ala.

Edward Sceery Given Watch Charm

Edward Sceery of Paterson, N. J.,
but almos't as well known here in New
York, received a hurry call on last Mon-
day evening from the meeting of the
Adoniram Lodge of Perfection, Valley of
Paterson, Accepted Scottish Bite of Free-
masons in the Elks Lodge. And when he
appeared there and was called before the
body, he received the surprise of his life
with the presentation of a splendid gold
watch charm in the form of a combined

emblem of the various Masonic bodies
with which he is affiliated.

The presentation, on behalf of the local
organizations, was made by Andrew
Foulds, a 33d degree Mason. Mr. Sceery,
himself a 33d degree Mason, was so sur-
prised and touched that it was some time
before he could find words with which to
express his appreciation of the generous
tribute paid him by his friends and
brothers.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cross Daly, widow of
James Daly, a florist of Brooklyn, died
on Tuesday, June 13, at her home, 320
Prospect Park West, at the age of 85

years.

Heating Inquiry

I am installing a greenhouse lOSft.x
20ft. Am supplying three lengths of 2in.
pipe, three for the outlet and three for
the return on each side of the house
under the benches, the center bench not
having any bottom heat. The house has
3048 sq. ft. of glass to the weather; 1940
sq. yds. on side of house. Will you please
inform me if a six section No. 620 Metro-
politan Hot Water Boiler will have suf-
ficient heating capacity to carry 50 to
55 degs. in zero weather. — C. A. H., N. Y.

— A greenhouse having the equivalent of
3048 sq. ft. of exposed glass surface
would require approximately 1430 lineal
ft. of 2in. pipe to maintain the tempera-
ture designated when the mercury out-
side is at zero. Provide three 2in. flows
and four 2in. returns on one side and
three 2in. returns on the other side. The
boiler you refer to would be rather small
for the work. J. N. McAkthur.

A Great Orchid Record

Not long since we referred to the re-
markable success of Sir George Holford
and his gardener, H. G. Alexander, with
orchids, particularly Cymbidiums, in Eng-
land. The Gardeners Chronicle in giving
some data on the activities of Mr. Alex-
ander, mentions that in. the 22 years that
he has been growing orchids at Weston-
birt, he has been awarded 92 first class
certificates and 149 awards of merit. Of
these 147 were actually raised by him and
they inleude Cattleyas, Lselias, Lfelio-Cat-
tleyas, Brasso-Cattleyas, Cypripediums,
Cymbidiums, Odontoglossiuns and Sophro-
nitis.

Apart from these awards he has re-
ceived 56 cultural commendations, one
silver gilt and 12 silver Lindley medals
only given for unusually fine cultivation;
30 gold medals and 30 silver medals for
exhibits small and large, and seven cups,
including the King's Gold Cup, won at the
International Show, 1912, and one at
Ghent Quinquennial Exposition.

Twenty -seven greenhouses are devoted
to orchids at Westonbirt, and during the
war Mr. Alexander carried the whole
collection through with the aid of one
unfit man, two boys and two girls; every '
other man on the staff was on service.

A man who can achieve such success
and still remain as modest as Mr. Alex-
ander is a splendid object lesson for the
rising generation of horticulturists.

Evidence of advertising progress by the
retail florist- is demonstrated weekly at
this desk through the receipt of what we
would call improved printed advertising
solicitations, these generally with attrac-
tive illustrations in colors and with equal-
ly attractive attention arresting reading
matter of a more classy nature. Let the
good work continue.

The Market

June 27. — The past week saw a
noteworthy change in market conditions
and all for the best. The large surplus
in many lines of stock has passed away
and of really good stock suited for wed-
dings and school commencements there
is no more than what meets with a ready
market. There is, of course, a large
amount of garden flowers that are not
in active demand as for these occasions
only choice stock can be used. This, for
the time being, is rather perplexing to

the wholesalers as they have only a lim-
ited supply of what buyers want, and
are top heavy with such 'stock as is not
so easily disposed of. With all this, how-
ever, the market is in better condition
than it has been for a long time and pre-
sents a hopeful and agreeable aspect.

The Peony crop that dominated the
market for so long is down to a point
where it can be handled conveniently
and profitably. There is no more coming
in, but a lot still in storage with some
of the dealers. With others their supply
for the season is over, this making it
better for those who have the stock. The
blooms are bringing good prices and are
keeping well in storage, so the probabil-
ity is there will be some Peonies on the

market until well past the middle of
July, if not until Aug. 1.

There is only a moderate supply of
Roses, but probably enough in the pink
varieties so largely grown for this mar-
ket. In white and yellow there is a
decided scarcity.

There are still some Carnations com-
ing in but they no longer cut much fig-
ure on the market, as the quality is not
good. There are a few growers who still
send in a limited amount of good stock,
but this is scarce and not at all times
obtainable.

Gladioli are the coming flower for the
next few months; the supply is getting
more plentiful every day. So far the
supply has been confined to stock locally
grown under glass and to the supply
from Southern growers. July 1 will
note the first of the cut of locally grown
outdoor stock, when the season will open
in earnest.

There are enough Lilium giganteums,
but no more than there is a daily de-
mand for. There are some candidums
as well as some short stemmed rubrums
used mainly for funeral work. There
seem to be enough of Valley for the June
brides, but orchids are none too plentiful.

Delphiniums are quite a feature when
it comes to the outdoor flowers. They
come in both annual and perennial sorts ;
of the latter Belladonna is a favorite.
Candytuft is seen in good quality and
Feverfew is a good clear white in color
with good stems. Shasta Daisies are of
excellent quality ; some fine stock with
two and one-half foot stems were noted
at some of the houses. Water Lilies are
coming in freely. The new crop of ferns
is also increasing the daily supply, much

to the satisfaction of dealers who have to
pick over storage ferns with a loss some-
times of 50 per cent or more.

Quite a few seedsmen who are also con-
nected with the florist trade stopped over
Monday and made many purchases of sup-
plies and other stock on the market.

Ed. W. Dorey of the A. T. De La Mare
Co., New York, who attended the conven-
tion of the American Seed Trade Associa-
tion, left Saturday for a rest at St. Jo-
seph, Mich., before going to the Nur-
serymen's Convention at Detroit the pres-
ent week.

The Allied Florists Association of Il-
linois, is doing some good advertising this
month, calling attention to birthday flow-
ers and school commencements.

P. W. Peterson of the Chicago Carna-
tion Co., Joliet, reports the loss of 90
boxes of glass by hail June 17. The J. W.
Davis Co., which owns an adjoining range
for vegetable growing lost 20 boxes.

sha, Wis., papers are giving much pub-
licity to the exhibition of the Henry

The Latest in Horticulture

A tourist in the mountain regions of Colorado
has on the running board of his auto a neatly
cultivated "traveling truck garden" in which
he is growing Radishes and Lettuce.

Washington, D. C, scientists have dis-
covered that by covering the rind of a Water-

main fresh indefinitely. [But a dealer who
dipped the plugs from his melons in red paint
to make them look nice and ripe, was recently
arraigned and fined therefor. — Ed.]

they assimilate it so fast it requires frequent
cutting to keep the fruit from becoming "hard

Pansy Seed I Cyclamen Seed

A. B. C. "Private Stock" Mixture

Realizing the importance of the Pansy to many growers
both as cut flowers and for bedding plant sales, and the
fact that FANCY PANSIES are half sold when offered
to the public, we have combined a mixture which we believe
will create a sensation because of the many new and odd
shades it contains, many of which have originated with
various growers who are in cherge of large private estates
throughout the country, particularly the so-called "Henna"
types. In short, an experience of over thirty years both as
seedsman and grower, is back of our "PRIVATE STOCK."

TO MY CUSTOMERS IN AMERICA:

Those who are in the market for high grade Cyclamen Seed, I wish
to advise you that I have perfected the finest strain of Cyclamen
Seed I have ever offered, as for the past five years I have devoted my
attention to improving my varieties. Cyclamen offered by me this
season are all true to name and selected only from the best and healthy
plants, which in turn give very good results.

I have paid strict attention to my Salmon and Red shades, particu-
larly for the American trade. My seed will be offered by the American
Bulb Co. It is with pleasure that I recommend to all florists who are
growers of high class plants to try out my seed. I hold recommendations
from the best growers in the world.

Yours very truly,

The Market

June 27. — With! the finishing up of the
graduation and commencement festivities,
the demand for flowers has diminished con-
siderably. The usual Summer dullness is
under way and, while business in the
stores is not what might be called bad, the
hope that prices will stay up at present
figures is not very strong. In fact, a
decided drop is noticeable already, as far
as Roses are concerned, since yesterday
morning. The quality of Roses has im-

proved to quite an extent since the ar-
rival of cooler weather and the supply of
stock is not far ahead of the demand.
Short flowers of all varieties, outside of
Hadley and Crusader, start with 3c. to
4c. and go as high as 12c. for select goods.
Reds run from 6c. to 25c. Stock that is
not sold after the retailers have made
their morning purchases is often sold for
much lower prices. The demand for white
is very slim.

Carnations are as poor as they ever
can be and the very best make from 3c.
to 4c. with difficulty. Gladioli are in fair
supply and many fine varieties are offered,
the rather good demand holding them up
at $2 per doz. Mrs. Watt, Sehwaben
and Loveliness show up well. I 'alias and
white and colored Lilies are conspicuous
by their absence, while white and yellow
Daisies and Bachelor Buttons are plen-
tiful enough, but of poor quality and in
much less demand than a week or more
ago. Some few auratum Lilies are to be
seen and a small supply of Campanulas,
Lupines, Sweet Sultans, Sweet Williams
and Water Lilies. Sprays of Crimson
Rambler Roses are abundant, without
meeting much of a demand, and Gypso-
phila has shown up again in quantity, sell-
ing at 50c. for a large bunch without much
trouble. Otherwise there is not much
choice in flowers.

Lily of the Valley is good, selling at
8c, and Cattleyas are to oe had in mod-
erate supply at prices running from $15 to
S18 per doz. The latter price is for C.
gigas. A few fancy Cypripediums are to
be seen.

Asparagus of both kinds sells like ever.
The supply of green Galas is very short
and is not expected to increase for some
little time. New crop hardy ferns are
arriving, not yeti up to regular quality,
but expected to improve and to become
cheaper than heretofore.

Vacation time has started in the market
and in the wholesale district, and a num-
ber of familiar faces are missed already.
Three well known, if small retail con-
cerns, have met with financial difficulties
within the last two weeks and " are
trying to re-arrange their affairs.

Ladies' Night at the Gardeners and
Florists Club of Boston

Ladies' Night with the Gardeners and
Florists Club of Boston is always an oc-
casion of importance, being looked for-
ward to with pleasurable expectation by
the club's members and friends. Never
before have these expectations been real-
ized as fully as on the night of June 20
when over 400 people attended the cele-
bration. The big concert hall was beau-
tifully decorated with palms, Roses,
Peonies and a wealth of other seasonable
flowers, and the concert was^ of a quality
as is seldom offered to a music-loving pub-
lic, even where tickets bring a tall price.
The eleven numbers of the selected pro-
gram included renditions by the Swedish
Glee Club of Boston of 25 voices; piano
solos, songs, violin solos by prominent ar-
tists; harp solos by Miss Beatrice Phinney
and several numbers by the Philharmonic
Trio of Boston. Then there was the charm-
ing performance by Miss Marjorie Messer
(of Peabody), Penn's Fairy Rosebud, a
little nymph of seven years who danced
and sang with infinite grace and perfec-
tion, after emerging from a large paper
Rose.

The audience was delighted with the
musical treat offered and the performers
were showered with handsome floral tok-
ens, besides being given spontaneous accla-
mations and a rising vote of thanks. A
sincere and rousing vote of thanks was
also tendered to J. C. Harris, head sales-
man at Penn's, who again had proved his
good will and unexcelled genius as the
arrangeur of the wonderful program.

After partaking of a collation, the rest
of the evening was devoted to dancing
until midnight.

Previous to the concert a hurried meet-
ing of the Club was held, at which the
death of Patrick Welch (May 25th), who
was one of the oldest members of the
club and a one-time president, was an-
nounced. A committee, consisting of
Wm. Penn (chairman), Thomas Roland
and Wm. R. Nicholson, was appointed by
President Wm. H. Judd to draw up reso-
lutions of condolence in behalf of Pat-
rick Welch, deceased.

The committees charged with the ar-
rangements for the coming club picnic
reported that same is to be held on July
20th at Cunningham Park, East Milton,
and that all necessary details have been
attended to.

News Notes

One of the few firms who grow
Euphorbia jacquinseflora on a commer-
cial scale, and grow it exceedingly well,
is Wm. W. Edgar of Waverley, Mass.
Herman Bartsch, the manager, has the
culture of this very fine tropical plant
well in hand, after having stuck to it
year after year when others had given
it up as too finical. In years gone by,
when many private establishments included
this species among their collection of warm
house plants, a sufficient supply was al-
ways obtainable for decorative purposes
at Christmas or in mid-Winter. No other
plant, except the Poinsettia, presents such
glowing, vivid coloring, combined with
the rich green of the foliage. While the
heads of the Poinsettia are large and
rather coarse and the inflorescences of
short duration, Euphorbia jacquinasflora
offers graceful sprays of charming orange-
scarlet flowers which last in water for
weeks. As a pot plant or in pans,
jardinieres and baskets it has no rival
and can be trained into many forms. Of
late years this plant has regained its for-
mer popularity for Christmas use and Mr.
Bartsch has found its cultivation a pay-
ing proposition to such an extent that he
now always provides a large amount of
stock. He grows it as a pot plant and
also in benches for cutting the sprays,
which find a ready sale among the promi-
nent retail establishments. His stock this
year consists of over 10,000 plants which
are selling so fast that Mr. Bartsch wishes
he had propagated twice as many. The
propagation of this Euphorbia is easy
and its culture is similar to that of Poin-
settia. The plant makes rapid growth
during the Summer and Fall. If wanted
for pot, pan or basket work, it requires
repeated pinchings, while if grown for
sprays in benches, one or two pinchings
will do and an enormous amount of ma-
terial can be grown on little space be-
cause the plants are set close together.
It is a good many years since such a
large supply of well grown Gloxinias has
been offered in Boston as this season.
Frank Edgar of Waverley, H. J. Borow-
sky of Roslindale, Wolrath & Sons of
Waltham, Thomas Roland of Nahant, R.
& J. Farquhar & Co. of Dedham, and one
or two other firms are sending to the
retailers perfect specimens of these plants
which, on account of their wealth of
wondrously colored flowers, make a great
appeal to the public and find a ready

bringing in a fine lot of outdoor flowers, and stock of that
kind is much more plentiful.

will be one of the best items from now on. We can now
furnish you a better selection of varieties.

EASTER LILIES

Regardless of weather conditions, Lilies always show good
quality. Our supply is so well regulated that we will have
plenty of them every day during the summer.

In ROSES, Russell and Columbia show the best quality.

In White we have a good cut of Double White Killarney.

In VALLEY and CATTLEYAS the supply is ample to
take care of the demand.

Regardless of the season of the year, you will find this
is a good place for you to send your business.

Philadelphia

A markedly easier tone on the market
last week was the result of the lessening
of shipments in all directions. Carna-
tions are almost over for the season and
what few came in were readily disposed
of . Stocks and Antirrhinums are also
quite out of the running.

Roses are really the only staples on
the market, and they are already a little
off crop. Russell still leads and American
Beauty is much on the decline.

Gladioli are now becoming an impor-
tant factor. More stock is coming in and
better stock, with the advent of the local
outdoor blooms. They may be seen in
all the downtown florists windows and
are distinctly a boon at this time of the
year. From a wholesale point of view, of
course, the prices are not all that could be
hoped.

Gladioli

As an all-round hot weather flower the Gladioli
has no equal.

With us, our growers are cutting freely of won-
derfully choice quality — the very beat and of the
newer varieties.

Sweet Peas are not as plentiful as last
week, but the price keeps up well in spite
of a sluggish demand. The present damp
weather, of course, makes very good stock
a practical impossibility.

Valley is a bit shy, on account of the
extra demand lately prevailing. Callas
are practically done and Easter Lilies are
hard to get occasionally.

Outdoor stock is of good quality and
the supply is quite equal to the demand.

June 23 and 24 were surprisingly good
on the market. Nearly everything was
cleaned out well. June 24 saw good fig-
ures paid for stock that was at all sal-
able.

Notes

The entire wholesale market now
closes at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and is
open Saturday only in the morning.

The Leo Niessen Co. reported a few
Asters, the first of the season, last week.
They are, of course, still short.

The Philadelphia Growers Cut Flower
Co. had some nice Gladioli last week, in-
cluding Chicago White and the new varie-
ty Flesh Pink. Prices were good. Last
week saw Chicago White at Viy^o.. and
Flesh Pink at 15c. This week they were
down to 12c.

Mrs. Jacob Deutscher is spending the
Summer in Ocean City. The Philadelphia
Wholesale Cut Flower Co. seems busier
than ever.

George Aeugle was moved from the hos-
pital to his home June 26. It is hoped

and profitable sale. Plants with as many

coloring of the flowers and the velvety,
dark green foliage make these plants fit
subjects to grace the table in any room.

James Wheeler, Natick, Mass., has or-
dered a King house, 42ft.x300ft., which
will be planted to Godfrey Callas entirely.
Mr. Wheeler has the culture of these
Callas down to the fine point, having de-
voted many years to discovering how to
grow them most profitably. He finds it
most advantageous to set the tubers in
the solid ground and to do the watering
with the Skinner System entirely. With
this treatment he has raised enormous
crops of the finest flowers within the last
five years, sending most of his output to
New York and other large cities. The
tubers are never taken up and reach
great size, often as much as one and one-
half pounds. The extraordinary demand
for his Calla flowers is responsible for
the erection of the new house. Mr. Wheel-
er is also having great success with his
Pink Matchless sport Carnation, of which
he has 30,000 plants for benching.

This is a tale about "Babe." Not "Babe
Ruth" of baseball fame, but of "Babe
VI," the French bull pup which belongs
to Harold Patten of Tewksbury, and to

his little baby girl, Natalie. The pup is
just one of those bat-eared, pushed-in
faced, wiggly-wabbly specimens of pedi-
greed, blue-blooded dogdom. Besides yap-
ping, getting under one's feet and pulling
the baby around, when not pulled around
by the baby, the little mutt does noth-
ing much but eat and sleep. "Babe Vi"
is only ten months old, yet has already one
silver cup and nine first prizes tucked
away as the result of entering two shows.

Under the name of "Welch's," Edward
J., Welch will open a wholesale flower
store at 288 Devonshire st., Boston, on
July 1. The new store is fitted up with
every modern convenience and facility for
the transaction of. business. A large, well
built, cooling room occupies one side of
the store, while the office and shipping de-
partments are located in the rear. Ed-
ward J. Welch, the son of the late Pat-
rick Welch, was long connected with the
firm of Welch Bros. Co., traveling in its
interests for many years through New
England, New York and Canada. Mr.
Welch is a practical florist, serving his
apprenticeship at Rose growing at the
Lakeview Rose Gardens in Jamestown,
N. Y., under the tutelage of the late
Lawrence Cotter. In 1915 he perfected
his training in the nurseries of the Mac-
Rorie-McLaren Company of San Fran-
cisco, Calif., and later, entered into the
wholesale business of his father. Edward
J. Welch is a member of many florist
and horticultural clubs in this country and
in Canada and his likable personality has
gained him many friends. He has the
best wishes of the florist fraternity for
a successful career in his new undertak-
ing. The new firm has contracted for
consignments of first class goods from the
very best growers of American Beauty
and other Roses, orchids, Carnations,
Lily of the Valley, etc.

The wedding of Allan Wyman Peirce,
son of E. Allan Peirce, the well known
Rose grower of Waltham, Mass., to Miss
Lillian May Roberts of Lexington, Mass.,
took place recently at the home of the
bride's parents. The wedding occurred on
the date of the 23d anniversary of the
marriage of the groom's father and moth-
er.

Albert Neddy, for a long time manager
of Welch Bros. Co. on Devonshire st., has
discontinued his connection with the
above firm. Mr. Neddy has demonstrated
great business ability and, on account of
his high character and pleasant nature,
has made many friends among the trade
at large.

Frank Sealy of Muller-Sealy Co., New
York, was a visitor at the American Sweet
Pea Society exhibition in Horticultural
Hall last week.

At the 50th reunion of the Harvard
Class, 1872, Thos. F. Galvin, Jr., had
charge of the elaborate decorations at the
home of the Hon. Edwin W. Hutchins,
166 Beacon St., where thirty of the old
classmates celebrated the occasion. A
lavish display of flowers filled the house
and dining room. In the latter, one of
the sideboards was graced with a mound
of crimson Roses, 4ft.x6ft., showing the
class emblem and the year numerals, 1872-
1922.

Hndson, N. Y.

Wm. Christians was a visitor in Albany
one day last week. While there "Bill"
paid many of the shops a visit.

Business is still normal and not over
rushing, with prices the same as last
week.

Rain has fallen quite freely during the
past week in this section and consequently
cultivation is somewhat retarded and the
quack grass and weeds are making a riot-
ous growth.

A representative from Michell's Seed
House was a visitor in town calling on
the local shops and greenhouses and re-
ported booking some fat orders.

Aug. C. F. Obermeyer, Jr., of the
Forest Greenhouses has started his vaca-
tion, motoring down the west side of the
Hudson River and up the east side, vis-
iting all the greenhouses and shops on
the route. Also making a three day stop
over at Poughkeepsie on business for
his shop.

After cleaning, painting and replant-
ing the beds, the Forest Greenhouse
gives a neat and attractive appearance.
Some fine 'Mum plants can be seen in
their beds. Although the plants look fa-
tigued after a long Winter's forcing and

growth, will say that Carnations come
in the market every day and some good
blooms are to be seen, but the demand
is poor, the price low and consequently
the shops are not stocking heavily,
be easily gathered, either among the
seedsmen, or else the retail florists.

T. Nielson Geiger was reminiscing over
holidays spent at this time of the year in
Canada — in times gone past. Business
keeps up fairly well at this firm, and due
to the recent shortening of the staff, every
one is busy.

J. J. Habermehl's Sons report nothing

ciently recovered as to be able to resume

Geo. J. Ball, our well known Sweet Pea
grower, returned, June 17, from a trip to
California, where he inspected all the
large Sweet Pea growing establishments

trip an annual event.

Herbert Amling has gone to Pana, 111.,

Susanne" acted as hosts to their many em-
ployees, on Sunday last, June 24, at the
American Bulb Co. farms, located at
Hazel Crest, 111., about 30 miles south-
west of Chicago. After a tour of the
fields, where, among general stock, some
several hundred thousand Gladioli are
planted, many of which are new varieties
being tested out for their florists' value,
and some of which it is anticipated will
be introduced to the trade next season,
a real old-fashioned "farm chicken din-
ner" followed, after which dancing and
games wrere indulged in.

A small accident marred the pleasures
of the day. Vincent Neil, bulb expert of
the firm, failed to negotiate a barbed wire
fence when chased by a fiery bull. How-
ever, after a slight operation performed
by Dr. Monblatt, well known traveling
representative of the A. B. Co., proceed-
ings were continued to the "end of a
perfect day."

Mr. Miller now spends his spare mo-
ments at the farm, and enjoys putting
into practice some of the technical knowl-
edgee which he obtained some years ago,
while attending the National Farm
School, Pa., and the famous establishment
of Burpee, Philadelphia.

Of Special Interest

to Those Who Want to Buy

Only a Few Dollars Worth

Yesterday one of our salesmen got a whale of a jolt.
He called upon three growers who were building
small sash bar houses of materials that were not ours.
None of the three had requested us to call, or had writ-
ten for figures. When asked why it was, each of the
three said about the same thing. They had the idea
"that just because we happen to be a large concern
and build so many large iron frame houses, that we
wouldn't want to bother with their little orders. Also
that we were such a high class concern, thought they
couldn't afford to pay our prices."

As you well know, all three are absolutely wrong.
We have more customers that spend from $ 1 0 to
$ 1 00 with us every year than we have those who
spend more than $500. About 350 spend more than
$500. But there are between three and four thousand
who spend less. These thousands buy anything from
a single box of glazing nails or a keg of putty to
column fittings, heating fittings and little jags of
Cypress materials. They buy them straight from our
Handy Hand Book which, all told, contains 450 dif-

ferent things used for and in a greenhouse. Every-
thing from the smallest to the largest things a grower
needs is fully described in it, and in most cases
illustrated.

The order department at our three factories has strict
instructions to give immediate attention to the Handy
Hand Book orders, no matter how small they are.
So far as possible, we try to ship the day the orders
are received. So important to us are these so-called
small orders that we couldn't stay in business without
them.

So when any of you get a notion that we don't care
to bother with your little orders you are dead wrong.
If you use the Handy Hand Book like thousands of
others do, you will not only get from us prompt and
courteous attention, but year in and year out you will
save a lot of money.

Next week we will have something to say about the
prices of our houses. It will be of interest to you
all, but particularly so to growers having but little
money, and starting in a small way.

And A Woman Did It

Every once in a while, you and I hear a man doing a power-
ful amount of blowing about what he has done in a business
way. Then sometime later you are privileged to meet his wife
or his sister. In the course
of conversation you are sur-
prised to find out how much
they know about the busi-
ness. How brimful they are
with corking ideas. Next
time you meet him, you
mark down everything he
says about his wonderful
business ability at least
50%, because you know
where a lot of his money-
making ideas come from.

Statistics prove that proportionately fewer women fail in
business than men. Nobody knows how many are success-
ful, because of women's indirect help. All of which brings

to mind Miss McCarron
of Lynchburg, Va., who in
addition to her Lord &
Burnham greenhouses and
store, has recently acquired
a store at Raleigh, N. C,
and has another at Durham.
No one left her a business
to run. Or money to run a
business with. She started
in a very modest way and
grew, because she is the
growing kind. She has
ideas. She doesn't dream on
them. She acts on them.

BURPEE'S

New Winter Flowering Sweet Peas

The Burpee Early Flowering Sweet Peas are recognized as leaders in their
various colors, and they are grown extensively by all florists who demand the
very best. The careful hybridization work carried on at Burpee's Fordhook Farms
in Pennsylvania, the growing of the seed crops on Burpee's Floradale Farms in
California and our extensive indoor and outdoor trials give us a unique opportunity
to supply the florists with the very best that can be had in Sweet Peas. We never
had finer novelties than those we are now offering for the first time. They are
outstanding in every way, perfectly fixed and true to type and color, besides being
strong growers, free-flowering and having blooms of immense size.

The illustration
is engraved from
a life-size photo-
graph taken on
Burpee's Fordhook
Farms.

Burpee's Orange was
greatly admired when ex-
hibited this Spring- at The
International Flower Show
in New York. Some of the
largest Sweet Pea growers
who have seen Burpee's
Orange on exhibition share
our belief and assure us
that the demand for Bur-
pee's Orange will be tre-
mendous.

Burpee's Orange is a
true glistening orange,
free from any traces of
pink or orange-pink in
either standard or wings.

Burpee's Orange

For many years we had this color in view in our hybridizing
work; for long it eluded us but at last we were successful, Burpee's
Orange even exceeding in beauty our most sanguine ambition.
Burpee's Orange is in every way distinct from other so-called
orange varieties. There is no trace of pink or orange-pink in
either standard or wings It is a true glowing orange self, prac-
tically the shade of a bright ripe orange. The rich glistening color
compels attention in any light, but at night, under artificial light,
it is indeed outstanding. Burpee's Orange has been proclaimed
by experts and the press alike as being the greatest advance of many
years in this type of Sweet Pea. In the opinion of many the vase
of Burpee's Orange included in our Gold Medal Exhibit at the
National Flower Show at Indianapolis, March, 1922, was the finest
and most outstanding vase of Sweet Peas in the exhibition.

Burpee's Orange is a free grower, with flowers of largest size
produced in threes and fours on stems of great length. The stand-
ard and wings are charmingly waved or crinkled. It is indeed a
pleasure and also a privilege to be in" a position to offer our
friends and customers a variety of such merit — a variety of which
we can all feel proud. Burpee's Orange was awarded Certificate
, of Merit at the International Flower Show, New York, March, 1921.

Trade Packet $1.00; oz. $5.00; Vt lb. $15.00; lb. $50.00, postpaid.

Cheerful

This fine novelty marks an entirely new shade in Early or Winter
Flowering Sweet Peas, a color that has been greatly admired and
praised. Cheerful is most appropriately named, the color being a
cheery, though soft, shade of Begonia-rose, or pinkish cerise, with
a pleasing suffusion of salmon. Pure in color tone throughout,
standard and wings being of the same shade. The standard very
broad and spreading though nicely waved, it makes a most imposing
bunch as the flowers are very large.

Cheerful is good under all conditions, and is particularly attrac-
tive at night, the salmon-cerise coloring being charming under ar-
tificial light. The immense flowers are of great substance, thick
and leathery, and are borne on long, stout stems. Awarded Certifi-
cate of Merit at the great International Flower Show, New York,
March, 1921. Trade Packet $1.00; oz. $5.00; % lb. $15.00;
LB. $50.00.

Sunburst Improved

A taller growing Sunburst has been long wanted, and is now
supplied in our new Sunburst Improved. Color a most pleasing
and attractive shade of rich salmon-pink. The large flowers are
borne on long, stout stems; the habit of the plants is vigorous and
free, and it is an early and continuous bloomer. The rich pink
coloring is intensified toward the outer portion of the standard
and wings, all being overlaid with a suffusion of amber and salmon.

Sunburst Improved is a particularly dainty and pleasing variety,
and of a color that is always appreciated and in demand. Equally
valuable for fall, midwinter and spring cutting, it is a perfect
companion to Enchantress, being practically as early and as easily
grown. Oz. $1.00; % LB. $3.00; LB. $10.00.

American Association of Nurserymen

Forty-seventh Annual Convention at Detroit, Mich., June 28, 29 and 30, 1922

Long, Interesting, Inspiring Program Run Through Without a Hitch. Notable Progress Reported Along Vigilance, Market
Development and Standardization Lines. "Baby Ramblers" Conduct Enjoyable Banquet. Paul Lindley the Next President

THE forty-seventh annual convention of the
American' Association of Nurserymen was char-
acterized by a general note of optimism and good
cheer. The fact that the treasurer's report showed a
substantial surplus of approximately $22,000 on hand,
no doubt contributed greatly to the feeling of success
and prosperity. A note of warning here and there
from some of the older heads against the danger of
overproduction seemed to express the only apprehen-
sion as to future prospects of the nursery business.

The ambitious and interesting program was carried
out with exceptional success and but few changes.
Owing to an automobile mishap, W. H. Wyman, of
Massachusetts, was unable to give the invocation and
J. W. Hill, of Des Moines, la., served in his place.
The address of welcome was delivered by Capt. Bush,
of the Detroit Dept. of Parks instead of Mayor Cou-
zens, who has been ill for some time.

After these and the other usual formalities, Presi-
dent Cashman read an excellent and stimulating re-
port.

Address of President M. R. Cashman

One year ago when our good friends at Chicago
honored us with the highest office that they could
bestow on any of their fellow members, we were much
encouraged by the many good wishes and assurances
of support; and we entered upon our administration
with the utmost confidence that the members would
not hesitate to cooperate with us in all that we under-
took for the good of the organization. In this, we
have not been disappointed and our message to this
convention is a report of material progress, of un-
usual unity, and of an apparent flourishing condition
among the nurserymen in all sections.

Conditions and Prospects Both Good

The A. A. N. has shown itself a remarkable or-
ganization of tradesmen and growers in that it has
been able to institute or abandon, without injury to
its membership, any undertaking or policy that a ma-
jority of its members has deemed advisable. I be-
lieve that those who have considered the results of
the various undertakings and so-called experiments
of this association during the past six years will
agree with me that we have been well repaid for every
investment made, and that our progress has been
steadily forward. I repeat that regardless of the
wisdom of a change in policy or of the abandonment
of certain defined plans, this organization has proved
itself to be in a most healthy condition as to unity
and organization.

When we met at Chicago a year ago, we united on
a policy that had for its first precept the holding
together of the organization. This policy was in keep-
ing with the times, and we started in to economize
by discontinuing the executive secretary's office in
New Jersey, and saddling much of the work formerly
taken care of by that office upon the various member-
ship committees supported by our very efficient secre-
tary, Mr. Sizemore. The wisdom of this move can
best be judged by the final action of this convention,
but if my observations are correct, there are very
few dissatisfied members, and our new policy will
receive the endorsement of a large majority of the
attending nurserymen.

I do not wish to be understood as feeling that we
have accomplished as much as was possible during
the past year; neither do I believe that we should be
content with what we have done. But I do think
that the new policy adopted a year ago has been
sufficiently tested to convince every careful thinking
nurseryman that this organization must make the
best of the funds it is able to raise on the present
assessment basis. We are in hopes that the time will
soon arrive when the nurserymen will have reached
such a degree of plentitude that the dues can be
enlarged, but even then, there should be no material
change in the policy of expenditures or the present
conduct of affairs.

Our association is in a remarkably flourishing con-

dition, both as to funds and membership. We have
taken care of the year's business, paid all of our bills,
and find our treasury with a surplus of over $21,000,
between $5000 and $6000 richer than it was a year
ago. We have a small increase in membership with the
prospect of a large one during the coming year. We
have a most efficient collection bureau and railroad
claim office built up under the supervision of Secre-
tary Sizemore at Louisiana, Mo. His report shows
a heavy increase in claims and collections placed
with him and there is every prospect of big growth
in this department during the coming year. Pros-
pects are indeed most encouraging and our surplus
funds will enable the incoming executive board to
place at the disposal of the Market Development Com-
mittee a very materially increased appropriation for
next year's work.

Urges Longer Terms for Committees

Under our present arrangement, the new president
each year must build up an entire new organization ;
immediately after his election he is confronted by the
task of appointing committees to handle the various
phases of the association's work, but he is not always
fortunate in securing the acceptance of appointments
on committees. This is particularly true in the case
of the chairman, for that unfortunate individual
recognizes at once that he will have to do nearly all
of the work, and he, of course, attempts to sidestep,
and sometimes does. This means delay, and by the
time the new administration has perfected its organi-
zation, two or three months have elapsed.

It requires some time for a new committee to fa-
miliarize itself with the work that it is expected to
do, and before it gets to working properly almost one-
half of the year has passed, so that by the time the
committee is in a position to render valuable services,
the year has ended, and a new administration comes
in and has to organize all over again. I believe this
should be remedied and some plan inaugurated to con-
tinue throughout a term of years the chairmen of im-
portant committees who have proven their ability
and willingness to serve the association. I also be-
lieve that the chairman of each committee should
have the selection of those who are to work with him
on it. This, no doubt, would promote greater efficiency,
harmony and ease in carrying out the work.

We have ample funds in our treasury with whicii
to pay the traveling expenses of committeemen serv-
ing us at conferences or other gatherings where our
interests are at stake, and it is urged that we take
advantage of the opportunity of being represented by
prominent nurserymen whenever occasion arises. Our
representatives are always accorded a hearing, and I
believe that we need not fear vicious legislation or
embarrassing regulations from any section of the
country if we are prepared to present our objections
properly through the official representatives of the
American association. What we need is a better

understanding of our problems by the authorities who
are undertaking to protect their constituents. During
the past year, special representatives and committee-
men from this association have been present at vari-
ous conferences, horticultural meetings and other
gatherings where matters pertaining to our business
were under discussion. We have secured most satis-
factory results.

The Executive Committee's Work

The work of the executive committee the past year
has not been arduous for the reason that every mem-
ber promptly took care of all business arising in his
district ; I am pleased to state that a feeling of genu-
ine confidence and cooperation has prevailed in all
the work undertaken by it the past year. In the case
of the two Washingon conferences of interest to the
trade, the executive board secured ready and willing
support from every nurseryman called upon to help
present our case. We have had genuine team work,
and so far as I know, satisfactory results have been
secured.

Not only this, but our representatives have made
a very favorable impression in Washington and we
are now in the happy position of supporting our Gov-
ernment officials in their commendable efforts to pro-
tect American agricultural and horticultural interests.
There has never been a time in the history of Ameri-
can horticulture when we nurserymen could so truth-
fully say that the U. S. Dept. of Agri. is fostering
and protecting our industry, and there has never been
a time when the nurserymen have had so many warm
friends as they have today in that department.

The executive board has held four meetings dur-
ing the past year at Chicago a year ago immediately
after the convention ; at Kansas City during the
meeting of the Western association; in Washington,
D. O, preceding the Quarantine No. 37 Conference,
and here at Detroit during the past two days. All
matters have been disposed of and we believe there
was no need for a larger number of meetings.

Successful Market Development Work

The work of our market development committee
under the leadership of F. F. Rockwell, who so kindly
consented to give us a portion of his valuable time
during the past year, has demonstrated the wonder-
ful results that can be obtained from a small sum of
money wisely expended. Few of us have forgotten the
great benefits derived through the dissemination of
his reading articles on fruit and ornamental growing
during the first year of our market development work.
This last year your executive committee appropriated
a sum not to exceed $5000 to be expended under the
direction of a committee consisting of Messrs. Rock-
well, E. E. May, and Albert F. Meehan, the first men-
tioned taking charge of the work. I believe he has
handled market development in a most proficient and
productive manner.

Every nurseryman has felt the influence of favor-
able publicity gained through reading articles by
recognized horticultural writers and further by the
impressions made upon the public mind in the movie
theatres where scarcely a single reel is exhibited that
does not show one or more beautiful homes fascinat-
ingly set in a well-planted landscape or backed up by
a beautiful formal garden. All of these things create
a desire in the public mind for beautiful trees and
flowers, and the American association will do well
to increase the appropriation for the market develop-
ment committee's work from year to year.

Boosts the Booster

A little experiment was suggested by Mr. Rockwell
during the early part of the year which later ma-
terialized into a little pamphlet mailed out to the
members under the name of The Booster. We have not
had facilities to make this little periodical a regular
affair as yet, but we offer the suggestion that it is
well worth its cost if issued monthly or bi-monthly.
It could be the official medium for friendly discus-
sion between members and through it announcements

American Association of Nurserymen

(Continued from page 63)

could be made on all matters considered confidential
and pertaining to association business only. I bespeak
the serious consideration of this by the incoming
executive board.

Defining the Field of the Trade Press

In this connection. I wish to state that your presi-
dent has avoided public utterances through the trade
papers to a marked degree during the past year, and
I take this occasion to say to the editors of our very
estimable trade journals that my failure to take ad-
vantage of the very kind offer of the columns of their
papers was not due to the fact that I had nothing to
say, nor to a personal desire to keep out of print ; but
remembering the discussions that appeared in the
trade journals in 1920-21 and the comment and criti-
cisms emanating from these discussions, I felt that
the public expression of views on association matters
could not be conducive at this time to the best inter-
ests of this organization. Constructive criticism is
good and should be welcomed by every progressive
nurseryman, and I do not wish to be understood as
discouraging public expression of a nurseryman's
views through the trade papers; however, in view of
the change in policy inaugurated at Chicago last year,
I was and am still of the opinion that it was best
to proceed as quietly as possible and give our new
plan at least one year's trial before subjecting it to
public discussion. I feel satisfied that our policy
of indirect publicity and quiet procedure has at least
given every member of our association an opportunity
to observe both the weak and strong qualities of our
present plan. My own personal opinion is that the
place to thrash out our differences is on the floor of
our convention hall and not in the public press, which
is so apt to be misleading to the outsider.

The Progress of the Vigilance Work

Under the aggressive direction of the chairman of

the vigilance committee, this work has developed to

a degree that makes it indispensable to the American

association. Our vigilance committee is the traffic

official that directs the nursery business into the

proper course. Nurserymen, like those engaged in

other lines, are anxious to improve and raise the

standard of business ethics in the trade, and it is to

this end that associations are formed and meetings

are held. The creation of a vigilance committee to

help promote the general welfare of nursery practices

I was a step forward and its work has resulted in mak-

[ ing membership in the A. A. N. almost indispensable

| to good standing in the trade.

The present practice of scrutinizing and investigat-
■. ing every applicant makes it practically impossible
'; for any nursery firm or person to gain membership in
this organization unless its or his methods and busi-
'. ness ethics have been up to standard. Thus the
executive board takes care of all prospective members,
while the vigilance committee looks after those that
already belong. The committee has not confined itself
to investigating complaints made against members
, of the A. A. N., there having been in fact, so far as I
know, very little complaint along the latter line.
It is very evident that the nurseryman who does not
practice his business according to our standard of
ethics does not apply for membership in this organi-
zation, and while it is perhaps outside of our juris-
: diction to look after him, I am pleased to state that
! the vigilance committee has been most active in
giving many of these fellows 'their most careful atten-
tion.

Apply Vigilance Work to Press Advertising

Complaints to the vigilance committee are inter-
esting from a nurseryman's viewpoint because so
1 many of them arise from victims being caught by
| misleading advertisements appearing in various pa-
pers and periodicals. Would it be out of place to sug-
gest that vigilance work be directed just a little to
those papers and periodicals whose columns are ap-
parently open to questionable advertising?

Legislation Situation Quiet

We have had less cause for apprehension over pro-
posed adverse national legislation this year than for
many years past. Some nurserymen are concerned
over the new tariff bill which will double the duties
on nursery imports ; the legislative committee is mak-
ing an attempt to have the schedule reduced and may
succeed in doing so. There having been introduced
no horticultural bills of a serious nature that I know
of, the legislative committee has devoted more of its
time to quarantine and regulation matters.

The Influence of State and Sectional Associations

The past year has seen the organization of several
new sectional associations, and the marked activity

Paul C. Lindley of North Carolina

Elected President of the American Association of Nurserymen

of all of these State and sectional organizations.
These activities to my mind augur great benefits to
the nursery industry and also contribute much to the
strength of the national body. Embracing as they do
many firms outside of the national body the sectional
associations quickly manifest the need of nurserymen
for cooperation and team work. You seldom find a
member of a local association who would give up his
membership ; these men readily recognize the need
of a national body, and it is only a question of time
until their applications will come in.

I am firmly of the opinion that the future of the
American association will be greatly influenced by
the activities of local bodies, and the stronger they
become, so will be the national body. We cannot hope
to take care of local matters, but we can lend our
strength and support through local organizations,
and thereby make our efforts more effective. At the
present time, there is not the proper relationship be-
tween the national and sectional associations, and I
suggest that a plan be worked out whereby every
sectional body in the United States will take out an
auxiliary membership in this organization, and that
a board embracing the secretaries of all such asso-
ciations be formed and recognized as a unit of this
national body.

Transportation Matters

We have been particularly active during the past
year in our attempt to bring about a reduction in
freight rates on nursery products. We have succeeded
in securing a 10 per cent general reduction effective
July 1, but this is not sufficient and we are still over-
burdened with an excessive rate that is of course re-
flected in the price we are obliged to charge for our
products. Express rates are even more burdensome
and instead of the service improving as the rates in-
crease as the freight service has, we find the oppo-
site to be the general rule in our section of the
country. .The question of lower express and freight
rates demands the attention of this convention and a
concerted effort should be made to secure a more
acceptable classification for fruit and ornamental tree
shipments.

Nomenclature and Standardization

Substantial assistance has been given the nomen-
clature and standardization committees by appropria-
tions, but this association is deeply indebted to Har-
lan P. Kelsey and his committee for the vast amount
of laborious work expended entirely gratis for the
benefit of the American nurseryman. We cannot re-
pay Mr. Kelsey in dollars and cents for he would not
accept it; furthermore, our debt to him cannot be
measured in a material way. We owe him a debt of
gratitude that to my mind should be recognized by
this association in a fitting manner. I respectfully
ask that every attending member be in his seat when
his report is read.

Illinois Slogan Recommended

Much discussion has been heard during the past
six years on an appropriate slogan for the nursery
trade and many fairly acceptable phrases have been
proposed, but to my mind, none has made such an

impression as the simple and significant slogan
adopted by the Illinois Nurserymen's Association.
What could be more appropriate or impressive than
the words, "Plant Another Tree"? Here is a trade-
mark and slogan that every nurseryman can very
profitably adopt. The- three words are a whole elo-
quent lecture in themselves. I would like to see a
member of the Illinois Nursery Association propose
the adoption of this slogan and trademark for the
A. A. N.

Arbor Day, Why Not Arbor Week?

Practically every state through its Governor, sets
aside a day called Arbor Day on which public plant-
ing of trees take place, but this seems hardly suffi-
cient. Nurserymen should agitate for an Arbor Week.
The florists put across Mother's Day — why cannot the
nurserymen put across a Buddies' Memorial Tree Day,
which every good American citizen will celebrate by
planting somewhere a memorial tree to the memory
of a world war veteran? I suggest that this be con-
sidered by our publicity or market development com-
mittee.

Government Experimental Work at Bell, Md.

I wish to call your attention to the very important
work that is now being carried on at the Government
Farm at Bell. Md., under the direction of Prof. Scott.
A number of nurserymen including myself recently
had the opportunity of visiting the station and Prof.
Scott showed us what he was doing.

I was particularly struck with his success with
Apple seedlings grown from root cuttings, also va-
rieties of Apples grown from root cuttings. The
work at Bell is indicative of the possibilities of fur-
ther experimental work under Governmental super-
vision. The present appropriation does not permit
very extensive work and it seems to me that the nur-
serymen should interest themselves in securing more
funds for it. Prof. Scott has made $20,000 go a long
way ; I believe if he had $10,000 or $20,000 more, he
could make a most satisfactory showing, and I recom-
mend that the nurserymen undertake to secure
through Congress this increased appropriation.

Outlook Is Promising

In spite of market depression and general deflation
of values especially of products of the soil, there has
been no appreciable decline in prices of nursery
stocks. The general report from nursery centers this
Spring indicates an almost complete cleanup of all
surplus fruit trees and ornamentals. If reports are
correct, the old hoodoo brush-pile has been conspicu-
ous by its absence. Many lines of stock were ex-
tremely scarce, and on these, prices were abnormally
high ; nevertheless, the demand seemed to increase as
prices advanced.

All of this indicates a promising market for the
coming year and should afford the American grower
no small degree of encouragement. Conditions now
prevailing in the United States place the task of pro-
duction squarely in the hands of the American nur-
seryman, and I feel confident that he can and will
rise to the situation and supply every need of the
planting public with No. 1 quality stock that can be
branded "Made in America." Yes, I believe the fu-
ture of the nursery business never was brighter, and
I take pride in the fact that there is every reason for
nurserymen to bring up their sons in the business
from now on instead of sending them into other pro-
fessions.

In conclusion, I wish to thank the members of the
executive board for the support and cooperation af-
forded me during the past year and to convey to the
committee members and the nurserymen who served
as special representatives to various conferences, my
appreciation of the splendid service they rendered
our industry. There has been team work all around
throughout the entire year. I have heard no criti-
cism and I have found every member ready and
willing to do his share when called upon. It has not
been a one man's job this year and I believe every-
one has enjoyed doing his bit. I would like to see a
continuation of this team work for it surely gets
results. We are on the right track with a good clear
road ahead. We can carry a larger load and put on
more speed. Let's go !

Report of Secretary and Traffic Manager

Secretary and Traffic Manager Chas. Sizemore made
the following encouraging report :

Reduction in Freight Rates

In December and February we appeared at general
hearings before the Interstate Commerce Commission
regarding reduction in rates and made a plea for the
nurserymen that if any reduction was granted they
be included. We gave it as the opinion of the nursery-
men that a percentage scale of reduction should be
granted just as when the rates were raised instead

bulb sales, with several hundreds of dollars saved to you if you
had to make your own color plates.

The folders will be, respectively, four, six, eight and twelve
pages, each page 3]^in.x6in., and folding readily in an ordinary
business envelope.

On the twelve page folder are represented four varieties of
Tulips, four of Narcissi, three of Hyacinths, one of Aura turn
Lilies, two of Japanese Iris and three of Freesias.

Here is an unparalleled offer, enabling you

to put over some big bulb sales this

coming Fall.

The bulbs represented were selected after consultation with
several large dealers as to the most popular sellers in each class,
so that one feels pretty safe in stating that these pictures all rep-
resent A-No. I sellers, carried in stock by all dealers.

If you are interested, please send without delay for sample
copies and prices.

Notes from Abroad

Some rain has fallen in parts of South-
ern England, but the seed growing dis-
tricts have in general been passed over,
considerably to their detriment. Much
will depend on the weather conditions
during the next few weeks.

In the Mediterranean regions there have
been some considerable downpours, accom-
panied by storms which in parts have done
a certain amount of damage. Further re-
ports are awaited as to the probable re-
sults of the crops.

Other items from the French districts
are of the lesser articles. Chervil, Corn
Salad, Swiss Chards, Chicoris and Mel-
ons are doing well, while Sorrel, Dande-
lion, Salsify and Scorzonera are in small
quantity and not likely to yield very
much. . .

The cut flower trade is going fairly
strong. Nigellas, Gaillardias and Peon-
ies are figuring conspicuously among the
more general favorites, and as pot plants,
Fuchsias, Marguerites, Heliotropes, Sal-
vias and Ageiatums are very prominent.
For Summer bedding work, great num-
bers of boxes of Mimilus, Begonias and
Phlox are now finding their way on the
market. The Verbena as a pot plant
seems to be making its way into popular
favor, for upright growing varieties can
now be obtained coming fairly true from
seed. Until now, the white and the
rose sorts are mostly forthcoming, but a
very fine race of Auricula eyed upright
growing Verbenas can now be obtained
from the London seed houses, and is
well worth a trial.

At the last show of the Royal Horti-
cultmal Society, some very fine Sweet
Peas were exhibited, two novelties, among
which, called Royal Flame and Wonder-
ful, are likely to be heard more of as the
season advances.

June 19/ 1922.

Although depressions have been hover-
ing around, according to the meteorologi-
cal reports, and large cloud banks have
made their appearance in the sky, no rain
of any importance has fallen and thus far
the drought continues its prejudicial sway.
The barometer, however, now shows signs
of a gradual fall, which may portend a
welcome change in the near future.

A visit to the Essex seed growing dis-
trict reveals the fact that the drought has
already seriously injured the Beet crop.
The growers say that if rain comes soon,
there may be half a crop, but otherwise
there will be a great shortage. Radishes
are, generally speaking, a good plant, but
weak and sadly in need of moisture. Pole
Beans look all right UP to date.

From Italy the crop of Cauliflower
seed is reported to be very poor on the
whole, and in some sorts there is not more
than ten per cent of a crop. The outlook
for Onion seed also is by no means a
favorable one.

The prospects in Denmark of the Man-
gold and other root crops are quite the
reverse of encouraging, and fears have
been expressed that the seed harvested
will not be more than sufficient for home
consumption, and that practically none
"ill be left over for export.

From Austria the prolonged dry weather
is stated to be very prejudicial to the
development of the plantations of Peas
and Beans.

In France the crop of seed of Trifo-
lium incarnatum is likely to be short,
as farmers have been largely cutting the
plants green for fodder. No large stocks
of seed being held, prices are likely to
rise. The crop of this article in Central
Europe is reported also as probably a
poor one.

On the London markets the supply of
cut flowers is just now somewhat in ex-
cess of the demand and large quantities

are on show of Clarkias, Delphiniums,
Gaillardias, Centaureas, Nigella, Statice,
Erigeron, Saponaria, Viscaria and many

other showy species, while thousands of
boxes of bedding plants, such as Migno-
nette, Alyssum, Neinesia, Perilla, etc.,
are changing hands daily.

New York Seed Trade

Change in Closing Hours

Beginning July 1 and continuing through
July, August and September, all the seed
stores in this city will close at 5 o'clock
p.m. each day except Saturday, when they
will close at 1 o'clock p. m., excepting P.
Henderson ec Co., who close at 12 o'clock.

On Monday of this week, Carter's Test-
ed Seeds, Inc., 53 Barclay St., were closed
all day, but this did not keep them from
having two very attractive window dis-
plays, one an exhibit showing insecticides
in one window, and the other an arrange-
ment of golf course requisites.

Peter Henderson & Co., 35-37 Cortlandt
st., wrere also closed all day Monday, but
there was on display in one window a
very comprehensive line of garden tools,
and another of seeds suitable for sowing
at this time.

The high prices now being realized in
the wholesale cut flower market for field
grown blooms of the Gladiolus which, by
the way, are coming into the market a
little later this year than usual, cannot
but be gratifying to those who bought
large numbers of these bulbs from the
seed concerns and bulb dealers and made
large plantings in the open this Spring.
Furthermore, the fact that the Gladiolus
blooms are moving so well in the whole-
sale cut flower market and bringing such
satisfactory prices, cannot belli but stim-
ulate the sales of 'these bulbs for next
season's plantings.

We note that Peth & Duggan, 87 Bar-
clay st., joined Carter's Tested Seeds,
Inc., and Peter Henderson & Co. in clos-
ing from Saturday noon of last week until
Wednesday morning of this week.

The Vaughan Seed Store inventory is
now complete and a number of employees
are about to leave on their annual vaca-
tions. The sales of insecticides and sun-
dries are keeping up well. There is noted
in their windows a large bed of artifi-
cial Strawberries planted in humus. The
display has aroused much interest and has
resulted in the booking of a number of
orders for these plants. ' This firm also
reports that it expects the first ship-
ment of Paperwhites on the steamer
Providence, due July 28.

At Max Schling's Seed Store, 24 West
59th St., perennial flower seeds are re-
ported to be meeting with an active de-
mand and many orders for Autumn bulbs
are being booked. Insecticides and sun-
dries are also meeting with a large sale.

F. Rynveld & Sons are sending out this
week the first of their new crop Cyclamen
seed. Their French office reports by
cable that the crop of Paperwhite Nar-
cissus has been harvested and that ship-
ments will be made very shortly. Cali-
fornia Freesias are being received in
larger quantities.

The Holland-America Line and others
that move the Dutch bulb crop from Rot-
terdam to New York are quoting for the
coming season rates of from 20 to 25 flor-
ins per 40 oil. ft., which are about the
same as were paid last year.

Sealed bids will be received by the
Board of Purchase of the city of New
York at its office, Room 52(1, Municipal
Building, Manhattan, from 9 to 10.30
a.m. on Friday, July 14, 1922, for fur-
nishing and delivering foreign bulbs to
the Department of Parks of Manhattan
and Brooklyn. Particulars will be given
on application to above address.

A Little
Book of Annuals

By Prof. Alfred C. Hottes

A Book that will Sell Splendidly all Summer
While the Annuals are Blooming

Gardening enthusiasm is at its height when seedlings
are appearing, when flowers are blooming, while the fruits
of the garden work can be enjoyed. But this comes after
the seed selling period has closed. The problem is, how
to conserve and carry over this enthusiasm until another
logical sales season arrives so that it can then result in
increased garden activities and increased sales of the
materials needed therefor?

One solution is by means of books — good, interesting,
practical garden books that people will keep, read, and
come to depend on, and that, in turn, will keep alive at all
seasons that desire to grow something, to plant, to prune,
to thin, to tie up, to cultivate.

Such a book, in intention and execution, in
theory and in fact, is

"A LITTLE BOOK OF ANNUALS"

— the first volume in our new "Little Book" series

of practical garden helps.

It is a handsome, carefully written, thoroughly edited,

freely illustrated, accurately indexed book of 128 pages

and, as such, in an attractive cloth binding, will be

offered through the usual book trade channels at the retail

price of ($1.35, postpaid)

But, because we confidently believe that it will stim-

Chicago Seed Trade

S. Dernison of A. Henderson & Co. left
Saturday for Dallas, Tex., where he will
represent his house at the Texas State
Florists Convention and will be an ex-
hibitor in the trades display.

I. Rosnosky will represent the Ameri-
an "up to the minute" special price list
Convention. The company has just issued
an "up to the minute" special price list
of early flowering Sweet Peas, show Cycla-

men seed, Pansy seed and Peony roots for
Pall planting.

Everett R. Peacock and Peter Peerbolte
purchased from the United District Court
on June 28 all the available assets of the
■bankrupt Everett R. Peacock Co., for
$30,000.

Vaughan's Seed Store, who for some
time has been using the floor at 27 W.
Randolph St., which was next to the store
proper- before it was moved to the op-
posit? side of the street, has vacated that

property. The general office of the com-
pany is now at 615 W. Randolph St., in
connection with the wholesale depart-
ment. The mail order and bulk seed de-
partment, which was also at the old stand,
has been moved to the second floor of the
retail store, 10 to 12 West Randolph st.
J. C. Vaughan will maintain his private
office on the main floor of the retail store,
a commodious space having been par-
titioned off for this purpose. Some of
these changes are only temporary, pend-
ing still greater and permanent improve-
ment in the retail store building. W. S.
Puffer is representing the house at all
the South and Southwestern conventions
this month. Jas. Martin, store manager,
is unpacking some attractive novelties in
glass, china and porcelain ware as acces-
sories during the Summer months to the
retail store trade.

Bulb and Seed Tariff Passes Senate

The Washington representative of The
Exchange sends the following report is-
sued by Wm. E. Gude, national represen-
tative of the S. A. F. and 0. H.:

"The Senate, without debate, on Saturday, July
1, adopted the rates of duty on horticultural
products that had previously been recommended
by the Senate Finance Committee. It was de-
cided to postpone action on Par. 762 covering other
garden and field seeds than those listed below.
These rates are considerably lower than those
previously adopted by the House. The para-
graphs in question are as follows:

"Par. 751. Tulip, Lily, and Narcissus bulbs,
and Lily of the Valley pips, S2 per 1000; Hyacinth
bulbs. $4 per 1000; Crocus bulbs, SI per 1000;
all other bulbs and roots, root stocks, clumps,
corms, tubers, and herbaceous perennials, imported
for horticultural purposes, 30 per centum ad
valorem; cut flowers, fresh or preserved, 40 per
centum ad volorem.

"Par. 752. Seedlings and cuttings of Manetti,
multiflora, brier, rugosa, and other rose stock, all
the foregoing not more than three years old, $2
per 1000; Rose plants, budded, grafted, or grown
on their own roots, 4c; cuttings, seedlings, and
grafted or budded plants of other deciduous or
evergreen ornamental trees, shrubs or vines, and
all nursery or greenhouse stock, not specially pro-
vided for, 30 per centum ad valorem.

"Par. 753. Seedlings, layers, and cuttings of
Apple, Cherry, Pear, Plum, Quince, and other
fruit stocks, S2 per 1000; grafted or budded fruit
trees, cuttings and seedlings of Grapes, currants,
Gooseberries, or other fruit vines, plants or bushes,
30 per centum ad valorem.

'Par. 761. Grass seeds: Alfalfa and red and
Alsike Clover, 4c, per lb.; Crimson Clover, lc. per
lb.; White Clover 3c. per lb.; Clover, not specially
provided for, 2c. per lb.; Millet, lc. per lb.;Timothy,
2c. per lb.; Hairy Vetch, 2c. per lb.; Spring Vetch,
lc. per lb.; all other grass seeds, not specially pro-
vided for, 2c. per lb.: Provided, That no allowance
shall be made for dirt, or other impurities in seed
provided for in this paragraph."

The seed rates are materially higher than the
rates adopted by the House. Whether or not
these rates will prevail when the bill is sent to
conference cannot be foretold.

I have learned that the prospects for the passage
of the tariff bill by August 15 are good. It will
take several weeks to bring about an agreement
between the two branches of Congress, but the
bill should reach the President for his signature
some time in September. This statement is based
on statements made to me by prominent senators

To clear up any remaining misunder-
standings as to the meaning of the tariff
terms or of changes, The Exchange's
Washington representative sends the fol-
lowing:

"Tulip" has been substituted for "Tu-
lips" of the Underwood-Simmons Act, be-
cause, as explained by the United States
Tariff Commission, the latter has been
applied to the flower,

Some varieties of bulbs and roots in
the present law, but which are now under
quarantine, are omitted. Imports of
these have never been important and
should the quarantine be lifted they
would be caught by the general provision.

The provision "all mature mother flow-
ering bulbs imported exclusively for pro-
pagating purposes," has been eliminated
because the term has no definite mean-
ing in the trade and has been a source of
litigation.

The commission further states: "Nur-
serymen have suggested that Hyacinth
bulbs be not grouped with Tulip, Narcis-
sus, and Lily of the Valley pips for the
reason that Hyacinth bulbs are consid-
erably higher in price than the other
three. It is also suggested that the pro-
vision for Lily of the Valley clumps which
are now excluded by quarantine, be elim-
inated. 'Clumps' added to the general
provision in paragraph 751 would catch
any future importation uf Lily of the
Valley or other clumps."

The paragraph as finally adopted by
the Senate is along the lines of the para-
graph suggested by the Tariff Commis-
sion and follows quite closely the recom-
mendation of the tariff and legislative
committee of the S. A. F. and O. H.
as presented by James MeHutehison.

The House had provided a rate of $4
per 1000 on Tulip bulbs instead of the
present late of 50e. to which the horti-
culturists demurred, Mr. MeHutehison
pointing out that it would prevent the im-
portation of all but high priced varieties
of Tulips and would result in decreased
revenue. He recommended a duty of $2
per thousand bulbs, and his suggestion was'
adopted.

Lily bulbs have been made dutiable at
$2 per 1000 also. When he appeared be-
fore the Senate Finance Committee, Mr.
MeHutehison said: "On Lily bulbs the
House bill provides for a duty of $4 per
1000, $1 less than at present. While the
proposed duty is agreeable, a raise to $5
or even $8 per 1000 would not reduce
revenue or seriously reduce imports. We
can stand rates so as to increase the reve-
nue, but under no circumstances should
this item be made duitable on an ad val-
orem basis, as it would be quite unwork-
able. We recommend a duty of $6 per
1000 bulbs on Lilies." He also recom-
mended a rate of $10 per 1000 for Lily
of the Valley clumps, but both sugges-
tions were disregarded, apparently on the
suggestion of the Tariff Commission.

The ad valorem rates suggested by the
S. A. P. and 0, H. committee were in-
creased, but they, are to be applied on
the present — foreign valuation — basis in-
stead of on the American valuation plan.
The Senate also followed quite closely the
recommendations of the horticulturists
covering Rose stocks.

French Paperwhites

Lemoyne Freres, of Ollioules, France,
deny the truth of the statement made in
The Exchange of June 3, under the
heading of "French Paperwhites," to tke4
effect that speculators, probably from
America, have been making high bids
for these bulbs. They admit the prices
are high, caused by the partial failure
of the crop, but claim that no one bas;i
come to Ollioules to buy except the regu-
lar bulb merchants who have been lo-
cated there for years. Therefore, then
say, there is no likelihood of the erow|
falling into the hands of two or threel
persons, outside of the regular channels
of the trade.

Lemoyne Freres further report : "We
estimate that the Narcissus Paperwhite
grandiflora crop for this year is about
one-third of last, and 'while we will be
compelled to ship many 12em. bulbs this
year, the total exports, including all the
12cm., may not exceed 50 per cent of.-l
last year. As to prices, there is nothing
definite as yet, but we figure that 285fr.
per 1000 will be asked for 13cni. bulbs
and up. As to other bulbs, as Soleil
d'Or, the crop is not quite so poor, andg
although they talk about high prices for
these we cannot see why they should cost
much more than last year.

"Growers are starting their harvesting
as we write, and about July 3 the deal-
ers will be able to quote prices. Ship-
ments from here will not be made much
before July 20. We will be obliged to
you to publish the foregoing in the en-
deavor to avoid misunderstandings in;]i
the United States. Your attention will}
greatly oblige us and others."

Information on Seed Storage

A chapter on the insect problems that
bother seedsmen is included in a new
bulletin on "Insects Infesting Stored Food
Products," by Dr. Royal N. Chapman,
University of Minnesota, and will probab-
ly justify members of the trade in writ-
ing for copies which will be supplied free
upon application to the Office of Publi-
cations, University Farm, St. Paul, Minn.

Dr. Chapman finds that the temperature
and moisture conditions of seedhouses are
usually favorable for insects development.
Moisture affects the pests about the same
way as temperature does; too much or
too little preventing development, while'
ordinary amounts induce the most rapid
production. The problem before the seeds-
men, therefore, is to keep conditions in a
seedhouse favorable to seeds, but unfa-
vorable to insects. A temperature below
40deg. F., makes it impossible for in-
sects to develop and at the same time
does not injure the seed.

"Beans and Peas have caused seeds-
men a great deal of trouble," says Mr.
Chapman, "the insects on them often eat-
ing the germ last or avoiding it alto-> |
gether. Consequently, while the weevils

are common and destructive, germination
tests of seeds which have been treated
; asj soon as injury was discovered usually
make a good showing. The seedlings,
however, may be backward because part
their source of nourishment has been
troyed. In Wheat and some other
ds, the injury may not be apparent
in superficial examination, but the ger-
lation and not the appearance is to be
-\i upon in determining the extent of
age caused by insects.
The insects with which the seedsman
to deal might be divided into two
tips, according to their method of feed-
ing. Those of one group remain in the
-eed until they reach the adult stage,
wSfle those of the other group go from
-red to seed and may eat only the germ.
Some of the insects in the first group do
not emerge until the seed has been planted

and do not increase in numbers while the
seed is stored. The Pea weevil is an ex-
ample of this kind. While the damage
caused by these insects is not so noticeable
as that caused by some others, they are
often deceiving. Sometimes when they
come out in the early Spring the seed
can be condemned or treated. But often
their presence is not suspected and the
seedsman may unknowingly sell infested
seed and his customer lose his crop as a
result.

Pansies for Profit

Consider Them as a Winter Crop

Do you realize what wonderful improve-
ments are being made in Pansies, and
right here in the United States? We
hardly recognize the Pansy of old in the
fine strains grown by the specialist in
this country today; and more and more
are these giant and beautifully colored
flowers grown under glass for Winter and
early Spring flowering. A bowl of Pan-
sies in your cooler or show window al-
ways attracts attention and finds ready
sale, often preferred to Roses or Carna-
tions. You can't use cut Pansies for
everything and it isn't expected, but when
you consider that fine plants and flowers
can be grown in a cool house, and that
for long stemmed, large flowers, there is
always a good demand, it seems that every
grower with a retail trade should pay at-
tention to their culture. Consider them
as a crop to follow your Chrysanthemums
or be grown in the same house. Your Vio-
lets or Mignonette do their best, for they
don't want a Rose house temperature;
they like a cool, airy, yet sunny house.
Have a good, well drained soil, and never
allow it to become infested with green fiy.
Any grower, no matter how small, can
do that much.

Sow Your First Lot of Pansies Now

During July is not too early to sow
Pansies for Winter and early Spring
flowering under glass. You can't set a
certain date for so much depends on the
season, and for that reason it is always
well to make several sowings. There are
Summers when the plants grown from
seed sown the first week in July may prove
an absolute failure; that is, if they have
to go through a hot, dry Summer, while
those sown a. month later will come along
fine. Heat and good Pansies don't go
together, while plenty of light and sun,
cool weather and a cool moist soil make
for stocky plants, fine stem and flowers.
Sow your seed in a cooled off hotbed,
shade a little until germination starts,
but let the seedlings have full sunlight
and plenty of cultivation. When large
enough to handle, transplant 4in. apart
each way, to another frame in well man-
ured and well drained soil. Here the
plants can remain until you want to
lift them, with as much soil clinging to
the roots as possible, and bring indoors
•any time from October on; or they can
remain in the frames all Winter and be
brought in a few weeks before Easter. A
.good batch of Pansies in a frame is well
■to have on hand if anything goes wrong
with some other crop you have on the
■benches.

Bellis for Indoor Flowering

Many retail growers don't bother with
Bellis at all. There is so little call for
the plants during the Spring months that
it hardly pays to bother with them. Most
people like the flowers of the Bellis or
English Daisies, but usually the plants
•don't bloom long enough after being plant-
ed out to make it worth while; at least
this is the case in many sections of the
country. As with Pansies, Forgetmenots,
and Alyssums, so with the Bellis; you can
flower them nicely under glass and will
have no trouble in disposing of them.
You will find that when you have good
sized double flowers on fair stems to
offer, that there are all kinds of use for
them. For indoor flowering, seed should
be sown now in order to obtain large
plants by Pall, when they are trans-
planted into a coldframe, where they can,
like the Pansies, remain until wanted for
benching. This can be done at any time
during Winter as long as you have the
frame protected, so you can get at the
plants. A few heavy plants of Bellis
lifted about a month before Easter and a
number of them planted in 8in. bulb
pans, will appeal to many during Easter
week as "just the thing."

Double Alyssum and Forgetmenot

The large grower isn't much interested
in either double Sweet Alyssum or For-
getmenots. Neither means very much to
him, but with the florist who retails the
stock he grows this is different; a part of
a bench planted to Forgetmenots or
Alyssum will bring as much as anything
else; in fact, sometimes more, for there
are so many occasions when these little
flowers can be used to great advantage
and frequently will take the place of
more expensive ones. If you have old
plants on hand cuttings taken during
July will give you nice stock for bench-
ing in early September. Each requires
a foot of space for proper development
and a cool house. Another good way is
to plant along the Carnation bench. Don't
plant your Carnations too close to the
edge of the bench; allow a few inches of
space. Those who are short of bench
space can still plant a few double Alys-

is no trick to have the plants make head-
way, but it is more difficult next Fall
when firing starts; sudden changes in
temperature hurt Begonias.

Dianthus Barbatus

"Newport Pink"

You may not consider the Sweet Wil-
liams as important hardy flowering
plants, and yet they belong in the per-
ennial border; and I doubt whether one
could ask for anything more effective than
a mass of Newport Pink Sweet Williams
in full bloom. This also makes a fine
cut flower during June and if you want
strong flowering stock for next year seed
should be sown now.

Coreopsis

Right now the Coreopsis are at their
best; nothing finer in that shade of gol-
den yellow, and when cut with long stems.

Daffodils

Emperor at left; Van Wa-veren's Giant in center; King Alfred at right. See text

sums or Forgetmenots along the edge of
a bench and obtain a nice lot of flowers
during the Winter months. If you have
2in. or 2%in. Alyssums on hand, cut them
back a little and perhaps plant along a
Chrysanthemum bench, one which is to
be filled with some other cut flower crop
after the 'Mums are through.

Begonia Cincinnati

Of Easy Culture During Summer

Begonia Cincinnati has almost com-
pletely replaced Gloire de Lorraine, not
to say that the latter isn't a most de-
sirable plant and beautiful when well
done, but Cincinnati is of more robust
habit and easier handled; and this ap-
peals to the smaller florist in particular.
No matter what variety you_ handle, if
done on a small scale and in a house
where a great variety of other stock is
carried, each of which really requires
just a little different treatment than the
other, it is hard to grow on a good Be-
gonia of the type Cincinnati belongs to,
and obtain as good specimen as th|e
specialist with a house or houses full,
will seed out around Christmas. Yet even
with only ordinary care one can produce
a fair plant in a 5in. pot by obtaining
small stock now out of 2%in. pots. Given
an airy house with a little shade, in well
drained soil, there isn't much trouble in
having the plants make a fair growth.
Don't get too many nor expect too much;
we all have use around the mid-Winter
holidays for those showy plants, both
large and medium sized ones. Figure on
letting the specialist supply you with the
big ones and you will find this the best
way. There will be plenty of chances to
dispose of your own. From now on there

While they are perennials or treated as
biennials, it is always well to sow a little
seed each year about this time. This will
give you fine flowering plants a year
from now. They are perfectly hardy and
don't want a heavy covering, a little pro-
tection don't hurt, and let them have a
good soil; they thrive in almost anything,
but for long, stiff stems and large flowers,
you must provide a good soil for them.

Improved Types of Daffodils

The Emperor and Von Sion Daffodils
are already such popular favorites with
the public that it would be an easy mat-
ter to find sale for the larger flowering
varieties, which are almost unknown to
the amateur, if more attention was called
to them. Now one must seek the florist
shops to see these large flowered sorts,
and even here they might pass unnoticed
unless attention is directed to their size
in comparison with the old well known
favorites when all are in bloom.

Our photograph shows Emperor, the
smallest, on the left. Van Waveren's
Giant is in the center; its trumpet is a
bright yellow and perianth lighter or
primrose. The specimen photographed
was 4in. in diameter, although growers
report even greater possibilities for it.
The one on the right is King Alfred, with
frilled edge trumpet, another variety noted
for its great size, so our specimen really
does not convey its best possibilities. It
is a golden yellow. Its price is yet too
high to see its general use for outdoor
bedding in quantities, although the
weathly would not hesitate to purchase
it were its merits brought to their atten-
tion. Then we have Glory of Leiden,

referred to as the "King .of Daffodils,"
with long fluted trumpet of golden yellow.
Olympia, a new one of giant type, an
improvement on the Emperor, is worth
recommending. Mme. de Graaff is a
splendid one, white, except for a tinge of
primrose in the cup, and Sis Watking
" Giant Chalice Flower," an early one
for bedding or moderate forcing.

And so there are really many improved
Daoffdils with which the average gar-
den lover is not acquainted and whose
desire to possess could be cultivated by
advertising and actual photographs — not
drawings of the "boiler plate" type of
lithographs — showing a comparison of the
old known sorts with the improved larger
types. Samuel Newman Baxter.

Next Annual Convention, Detroit, Mich., June, 28 to 30

A Noteworthy Formal Garden

plants which follow the Tulips are arranged in ir-
regular fashion, a few of each grouped together, a
style not often seen in this country, and some of
the color combinations seem awkward or "daring"

FOR skillful garden-
ing and intensive
upkeep, one can find
much to admire on the
estate of Joseph E. Wid-
ener at Elkins Park, Pa.,
whose superintendent.
Win. Kleinheinz, is noted
for his entries at all the
big flower shows. Our
photograph conveys an
idea of the colorful dis-
play of early Tulips, so
well arranged in the in-
tricate design of Box bor-
dered beds of the formal
garden in front of this
palatial home. The
pointed and square top-
ped evergreens are Eng-
lish Tews, those of more
recent planting having
not yet made enough
growth to show the re-
sult of shearing. Plank-
ing this garden — just the
edges nearest the house
are visible in our repro-
duction— are mounds of
hybrid Rhododendrons,
the bloom of which may
well be imagined as a
magnificent setting for
this garden. The varied
assortment of bedding

Formal Garden of Joseph E. Widener, Elkins Park, Pa. — See text

at first, but the general effect is certainly unique.

The large fountain in the foreground — which, by

the way, is connected with the house by a large

passageway under ground which houses the elaborate

pumping machinery — is
augmented by several
smaller ones seen along
by the pointed evergreens
near the terrace.

A smaller formal gar-
den is laid out on the
axis of the right side of
the house. The plants
used for edging the design
are very dwarf Retinis-
pora obtusa. To the left
of the house a large for-
mal Rose garden is lo-
cated with latticed ar-
bors and seats of French
design. Only a photo-
graph taken from an air-
plane could give a proper
conception of the entire
layout of the property,
but if one is fortunate
enough to have the privi-
lege of entering the
grounds, the effects of
skillful arrangement and
cultivation are thorough-
ly enjoyed and also re-
dound to the credit of the
nursery and floral inter-
ests furnishing the plants,
which make such a hand-
some landscape display
possible.

"Are We Fooling Ourselves?'

Address of A. F. Lake, Shenandoah, la., before the
A. A. N. Convention at Detroit, Mich., June 29, 1922

MR. PRESIDENT and members of the American
Association of Nurserymen: A friend of mine
read the subject on which I am going to speak
today, and he said : "Lake, what are you going to talk
about?" "Winy," I said, "not much of anything," and
he looked at me in rather a pitying way, as if he
thought that I would be badly rattled to get up before
this great American Association of Nurserymen, with
nothing to say, but, gentlemen, I have been attending
these meetings during 25 years and during that time
50 per cent of the men that have been attending here
have not had anything to say. , So I am not at all
embarrassed.

I am very sorry that I lost my elaborate notes. I
expected to try to make you a nice talk; so now I
will have to fall back on just what I remember of it,
and I may disappoint you and undoubtedly will be
disappointed myself.

A nurserymen — a man that you all know, prom-
inent in the business — told me the history of his life,
the other day. I am going to give you one chapter
from it and then wind up.

Mr. Nurseryman had been in the business for many
years and finally formed a desire to make a fine
plant. He knew of a piece of land nearby that he
thought was especially adapted to the purpose of
growing nursery stock and bought it. Much of it
■was in" Clover so he plowed it under in the Fall,
blocked it all off, planned what he would plant, and
made a record of it in his office.

As Fall drew on he began to gather propagating
stock and during the Winter he had his grafts made
up and personally left his office to look after them.
He watched his ornameutal stock, he watched every-
thing that was going into this new block, because it
was going to be a banner block, a plant that visiting
nurserymen would be proud of.

Along toward Spring, he began to receive his stocks
from France. They were not just as good as he would
like to have seen them, so he went over and slipped
a caution to his foreman and employees to be very
careful, because this was going to be a banner plant,
and he wanted everything to be in first-class condi-
tion.

As Spring wore on, he found himself so tied up in
the office that he could not give any attention to the
planting, but he called in the employees and in-
structed them carefully about the planting. He said,
"Plant thoroughly, boys. Do everything up in first-
class shape. I am depending on you."

The busy season wore on and he worked 12 to 14
hours a day, even on Sundays.

After the planting season was over trade hung on
longer than usual, so he could not get out in the nur-
sery. He called in the foreman, asked how everything
was looking and was informed that the grafts were
99% per cent of a full stand ; the foreign stocks had
been regraded twice ; the ornamentals were fine
and everything was just looking good. This gave him
a prosperous feeling; he began to feel very important,
ordered a Cadillac (when really he belonged in the
Ford class) and did not know he was fooling him-
self. Also he began to pay his Springs bills, which
was a foolish thing to do, for they were not yet due;
but he felt so very good over the report that he did a
lot of foolish things early in the season.

He had a little wife (they are generally the bosses
— and ought to be) and she suggested he was working
very hard and that they ought to take a ride, so one
Sunday they started out and of course landed right
in the nursery, as all good nurserymen do when they
are out for a drive. They came to the graft field first
and something' had apparently happened to it. The
foreman had told him it was a 99% per cent stand,
but he found a lot of graft material rubbed off, other
grafts were not doing well and others right sickly.
He walked across the field and made up his mind
that he did not have a good stand— except in the
Carolina Poplars where there was a stand of 11,999
out of 12,000. But nobody wants Carolina Poplar!

He went home rather discouraged and called in the
foreman in the morning to ask him about it. The

foreman said, "Oh, Mr. Nurseryman, you are wrong,
the per cent is 90. I have carefully gone over it and
I know just what I am talking about, and you know
I am all right, because you brought me up. I have
been here for 25 years, and I would not lie to you on
a bet."

After he went out the little girl sitting back in the
office, who had been sticking around 15 or 20 years
said: "Mr. Nurseryman, what do you think "about
that stand?" "Well," he said, "I can't help but be-
lieve that the foreman is a little off." She said: "I
tell you what, "You send John out— he is an honest
boy— let him count, and bring the counts to me and I
will draw off the percentages, and we will know just
where we stand. That is what every nurseryman
ought to do."

He acted on the little girl's advice, for she had been
his right hand for a good many years. The counts
were brought in. the percentages drawn off, and he
found he had about 55 to 60 per cent stand on an
average instead of a 90 per cent one.

He still felt a little downhearted and disappointed
in his employees, and he naturally turned and looked
over his offlce force for somebody to confide in, some-
body to talk to. In the other room, behind the glass
partition, was his son, just returned from college; an
awful nice boy, well brought up. a good fellow loved
by everyone, highly educated. He had taken the nur-
seryman's course and knew all about botany and hor-
ticulture, but he did not know whether an Elberta
Peach was propagated by budding or whether it just
growed like Topsy. He had not learned that, for dad
had forgotten to give him a practical nursery train-
ing. He had not said, during vacation, "Take your
dinner pail, boy, go out with the men. It won't hurt
you a bit, because I have men working for me just
as good, some of them a little better than I, men who
have learned the game from the ground up." Dad
had forgotten to do that, so he turned away, for he
could not consult with his son whom he loved and
who, he hoped, would succeed him in his business.

He looked over his offlce force of two or three boys
—snappy young fellows who knew all about book-
keeping systems and what the profits would be; who

Louisiana Nursery Notes

The Legislature last week appro-
priated $10,000 for the next two years
to be used for entomological work in the
State of Louisiana. This sum would have
been inadequate to carry on the work of
plant insect control and would have
caused much of the good work that has
been done by the entomological division
of the State Department of Agriculture
to be abandoned. This would mean that
the individual nurserymen in Louisiana
would have to bear the expense of nur-
sery inspection and fumigation of ship-
ments leaving the State in order to do
business in other States, since it had
been voted by quarantine inspectors sev-
eral weeks ago, to put Louisiana imme-
diately under quarantine should the pres-
ent system of inspection and fumigation
be discontinued.

A delegation composed of C. W. Eich-
ling, president of the New Orleans Horti-
cultural Society, and P. A. Chopin,
chairman of the legislative committee,
together with other nurserymen inter-
ested, comprising a party of about 20
members, proceeded to Baton Bouge last
week while the Legislature was in ses-
sion. After having been given an audi-
ence by the committee on finances, the
members of the committee were con-

vinced that an added appropriation of
$50,000 was justified. This will give the
department $60,000 or $30,000 a year
for the next two years. This will enable
thorough inspection of nurseries to be
made and will provide for the mainte-
nance of fumigation plants all ' over the
State. This was the full amount asked
by the delegation for this purpose.

Nursery Business Good

The Summer business thus far among
New Orleans nurserymen has been un-
usually good, and fine prospects for a
continuance of this trade are in view.
Copious rains are benefiting the Chrysan-
themum crops and a good season in this
line is expected.

One of the good selling Summer flow-
ers, not heretofore grown in New Orleans
on a large scale, is the giant fancy Dah-
lia. These are finding ready sales now,
although they have been on the market
but a short time, and are retailing from
$3 to $6 a doz., according to their size
and the length of their stems.

Quite a number of the nurserymen are
going into the raising of conifers and
evergreens, together with other orna-
mental shrubs, on a large scale this sea-
son, and expect to be well remunerated
for their efforts. C. J. McD.

Nursery Community Picnic

The annual nursery community picnic,
held Friday, June 30, was the largest and
most successful ever held. The outing
was attended by over 300 nurserymen
and their families, all of whom laid aside
their cares and, say they had the best
time of their lives. At 1, 2, 3 and 6
o'clock p.m. trucks were on hand at the
Storrs & Harrison Co. and the Parmly
Hotel, to carry loads of picnickers with
their well filled baskets to Township Park,
one of- the most popular Summer resorts
along Lake Erie.

The principal event in the way of sports
was a ball game between the married
men and the single men, which resulted
in a 9 to 4 victory for the former. E.
B. George, assistant manager of Storrs
& Harrison Co. was official umpire, and it
was one ball game when no one disputed
the umpire's decisions.

Other sports such as 100 and 75 yard
dashes, a clothes pin race, sack race,
three-legged race, sun bonnet race, ball
throwing contest, etc., were features that
were enjoyed by all.

The Stop-4 Chorusy which has been
popular for many years and which is
composed of all employees of the Storrs
and Harrison Co., again demonstrated its
musical ability with many selections,
both old and new. After supper came
dancing at the pavilion where a special
orchestra was on hand for the occasion.

John H. Dayton, secretary of Storrs &
Harrison Co., gave an address of welcome
which was most instructive to an appre-
ciative audience. T. J. M.

Batavia, N. Y.

Batavia will some day be known as a
city of parks if it keeps on adding new
recreation spots. Recently a new one
was laid out called Municipal Park be-
cause it is next to the municipal plant.
Dewanee Bogue of the Batavia Nurse-
ries, and L. C. Stroh and Sons, the flo-
rists, contributed stock and also super-
vised the work. Aethub A. Ktrchhoff.

Leominster, Mass. — J. Arthur White
and Howard M. Cady, proprietors of the
W. and C. Nurseries, at Westfield,
Mass., are moving their business
to Leominster, which involves the
transporting of thousands of young shade,
ornamental and fruit trees, flowering
shrubs, plants, etc. The firm has pur-
chased the property located at 953 Lan-
caster st., consisting of a tenement house
and three acres of land. Early this
Spring Messrs, White and Cady visited
several cities in Massachusetts for the
purpose of choosing a new location where
they could serve a larger territory, and
were finally prevailed upon by the Cham-
ber of Commerce of Leominster to move
their business to that city. Leominster
property owners have been obliged to send
a long distance away for fruit trees and
other stock, and will welcome this oppor-
tunity to make their selection of trees
and shrubs actually growing in the
nursery.

Among Our California Seed
Growers

The Field Notes of a Journeying
Observer

A few observations on the seed grow-
ing industry on this coast may be of in-
terest to readers of The Exchange. I
began this tour May 22, and ended it
June 15. Howard & Smith's grounds,
near Rivera, several miles east of Los
Angeles, were the first to receive my at-
tention. They grow many of their own
flower seeds and all of the Ranunculus
asiaticus used in their extensive landscape
plantings, and for wholesale, too. They
also grow great quantities of Anemone
coronaria. Both these bulbs as grown on
this coast are superior to imported stock
and in greater demand, even though they
cost more than those from abroad. Sev-
eral years ago Lilium regale — also known
as L. myriophyllum — was given a try out,
and proved so well adapted to the climatic
conditions that all the seed were saved
and planted. Now there must be a mil-
lion little plants which will be ready for
the trade a year or two hence.

I saw several beds of Camelia seed and
shall watch those baby plants with great
interest, because of the prevalent opinion
that this plant will not do well in our dry
climate. To be sure we have some large
specimens about town growing in the open,
and some seasons get fine flowers from
them, but how will the babies of the tribe
fare ?

5000 Roses at Howard & Smith's

Then there were 5000 new Roses planted
out for trial, some of them of their own
originating. Hippeastrums by the thou-
sands are another product of this firm,
and all from seed grown under glass, the
flowers being pollinated by hand. In spite
of the onerous duties connected with the

management of so large a business, Fred
Howard finds time to direct the work of
the hybridist who attends to this branch
of the firm's activities. Altogether there
are some 15 acres in use, all irrigated by
gravity from a neighboring river, which
system renders pumping unnecessary.

John Bodger & Sons' acreage of flower
seeds was the next to come under my
observation. Here were hundreds of
acres with Asters and Zinnias just com-
ing up, and Stocks that would soon be
ready to harvest. Looking over those
fields of Stocks, and counting the singles,
which alone produce seed, the question
arose in my mind: "How much must they
get for the seed, with only 20 per cent of
the plants yielding any?" Certainly not
less than 525 a pound in order to make a
fair profit on the investment. The seed
was abundant on the plants, but there
were so few of them Here, for the first
time, did I see Schizanthus retusus. It is
a weedy subject growing alone, but en
masse it is very showy

Bodger and Burpee in Lompoc Valley

The Bodgers have transferred their
Sweet Pea growing from this part of the
State to the Lompoc Valley, where they
have 400 acres under cultivation. Henry
L. Renard is the superintendent of that
branch of their business, and is making
a success of it. This is the little valley
in which W. Atlee Burpee & Co. grow the
Sweet Pea seed they sell, and their fields
were a delight to see. They have many
things new to me and worthy of note.
But before I get to them, a word about
a blue Sweet Pea of theirs. They had
it on exhibition at the Grand Central
Palace, where the striking color created
something of a sensation. An inspira-
tion came to those boys to name it for
Mrs. Harding, and David telegraphed to
the first lady of the land for permission,
which was graciously granted. The idea
was acceptable to the public, and there
was not enough seed to go around at $200
a pound — another of those incidents of
life in which everybody was pleased.

To get back to the things new to me,
Saponaria ocymoides is one. Everybody
knows Saponaria officinalis or Bouncing
Bet, the coarse, weeedy plant found every-
where that I have ever traveled. But
the dainty little S. ocymoides is a gem.
I wonder why we have been so slow to
recognize its value as a border plant.
The calyx is viscid-glandular like that of
some species of Silene; the flowers are
bright pink; the plant is only a foot high.

Slathers of Lathyrus

Of Lathyrus they have 67 species and
their varieties, all from somewhere in
Europe. The flowers, two on a stem, are
sprinkled through the foliage in a way
that makes the plant the most artistic in
appearance of any of the tribe that has
yet come under my observation. In pure
colors there are red, white, yellow, pink
and purple. How many shades there were
I did not count. The plant is perennial,
but wholly unlike the L. latifolius. Harry
F. Buckman, superintendent of the place,
has been there since Floradale was estab-
lished, and when I stopped W. Atlee
Burpee, Jr., was there learning the de-
tails of the game. One of these is the
back breaking job of "rogueing" Sweet
Pea fields. An experimental knowledge
on the part of an employer is the only
means by which he may understand what
an employee has to endure, physically, in
field work.

Zvolanek's Sweet Pea Creations

Ant. C. Zvolanek & Sons grow only
Winter flowering Sweet Peas of the or-
chid flowering type. The "breaks" in the
varieties of this flower are something
wonderful. The progeny of one plant
may, and often does, produce a dozen
different colors. When one appears that
promises something better than its pa-
rent, the seeds are saved for another
sowing. A new pink and white bi-color
of superior excellence, named Zvolanek's
Christmas Gem, required six years'
time to fix true to type. Zvolanek's Sen-
sation, a clear blue self and a novelty for
this season, also was several years in com-
ing true.

The variation in the habit of the plant
is no less interesting than that in the
color of the flower. This season one ap-
peared of procumbent character, the
plant creeping instead of climbing, and
the flowers being borne on long stems.
The three types— dwarf, semi-dwarf and
procumbent — are admirably adapted to

low glass houses. A new white, with
crinkled flowers, like unto crepe paper,
is the progenitor of an interesting strain -
of this popular flower, but its size and
shape are not such as to merit its intro-
duction to the trade at this time.

Their two 20-acre fields were aglow
with color, but the pink kinds are the
most in evidence, because they are most
popular as cut flowers. Of these four
have stood the test of time: Mrs. Wm.
Sim and Mrs. A. Skach, both 11 years in
cultivation; Miss Louise Gude, seven
years; and Zvolanek's Rose, six years.
They have added 40 acres to their hold-
ings in the valley, and plan to plant 80
acres another season. Two glass houses,
artificially heated, each 20ft.x200ft., will
be erected this season for seed testing.
The two sons, William and Edgar, are
managers of the business in the West, and
Charles is in New Jersey, looking after
the interests of the firm on the Atlantic
Coast.

Home Grown Plants

Let" "The Exchange" Know What Is Being Done in
This Direction

A visit was paid to The Exchange office this past
week by David Lumsden, horticultural adviser to the
Bureau of Plant Industry, Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. C, who has recently been investigat-
ing the various enterprises undertaken in the East to
make up for the deficiencies of plants formerly im-
ported, but now under embargo.

Mr Lumsden was certainly enthusiastic in Jus
narration of the several enterprises, the progress of
•which he had been recently examining into, and the
purpose of which is to supply America with its own
home "rown stock. "Many surprises are in store for
the florists," he asserts, "in that numerous stocks
hitherto imported will soon be freely obtainable from
home grown materials."

After all he has seen of these new operations Mr.
Lumsden wonders, however, why these enterprising
workers do hut come out into the open with a state-
ment of what they have accomplished to date — why
they do not, apparently, realize the value of publicity.
While reporting the spirit of enterprise and develop-
ment which he claims is before long bound to ma-
terially improve the character of our horticultural
industry and lessen the necessity for imports, Mr.
Lumsden appeared willing to acknowledge that much
remains to be learned in the way of the cultural re-
quirements necessary in order to give our florists
here the same finished product as had hitherto been
•obtainable from abroad.

In connection with Mr. Lumsden's visit and that
gentleman's remarks, The Plobists Exchange has
never for a minute expressed or maintained the be-
lief that what was done abroad could not ultimately
be done here just as well. There is not the slightest
doubt of this in our minds and this question has
never played a part in our arguments against the
Qu. 37 enforcements. Readers who have followed
our arguments will admit the truth of this statement.
Those, of course, whose readings have not been so
complete may have thought to the contrary, and it
is for the benefit of such that we again repeat the
statement.

In a general way we have heard or read of many
enterprises under way to supply America with
American grown products, and it certainly would be
interesting in the highest degree, especially to the
advocates of Qu. 37, if those who are engaged in
these endeavors would communicate more freely with
The Exchange as to their progress. They can rest
assured that every advice of development received by
us will have our full attention and publication.

We have published practically everything in the
way of the development work reported to us as being
done by the Bureau of Plant Industry ; for instance,
Dr. Griffith's experiments with American grown Gi-
ganteum Lilies. However, with all the work done in
that direction the fact remains that as yet trials of
these Lilies for forcing purposes have not resulted
satisfactorily.

By all means let us hear from the gentlemen who
are working to create an American growing industry.
There need be no fear of disastrous competition — not
for years to come, at any rate.. Regardless of how
extensively any grower may have gone in for a new
thing no one man can expect to begin to supply the
market in any direction'.

Another Success on the Records

From a journalistic standpoint we are thanking
our stars that the nurserymen's and seedsmen's con-
ventions did not, this year, occure the same week
as they did in 1921. For each was such a high-class
affair," so full of real meaty discussion, valuable in-
formation and constructive suggestion that it would
have been as unsatisfactory to us as to our readers
to have passed either one over with a brief, super-
ficial report.

Speaking now of the nurserymen's meeting in par-
ticular, it was a real achievement to conceive and
prepare a program of thirty odd features, all of them
important. Yet the whole plan was carried out on
schedule, with hardly an omission or modification.
This speaks well for the "new blood" that had charge
of the arrangements.

But the "old blood." too, was fully in evidence
and whereas it seems just as anxious for progress
and growth as anyone, it was also ready and able
to strike that note of sanity and conservatism— and
even of warning when necessary — that can render
such signal service in guiding and controlling the
advance of a big live organization. For that, cer-
tainly, is what the American Association of Nursery-
men has become, and nothing proves it better than
the notable success of its forty-seventh annual con-
vention.

A Foregone Conclusion

The report of Secretary Wallace's "special advisory
committee," which we publish below, as received
from our Washington correspondent (and not, as
might have been expected, from the press service of
the Department of Agriculture) should occasion no
surprise. Nor need it cause, therefore, any dis-
couragement among horticulturists who can see the
difference between legitimate reasonable protection
and unwarranted, arbitrary, domineering control. It
is exactly what might have been expected from indi-
viduals who, there is good reason to believe, had in
advance definite, preconceived opinions that no argu-
ments presented at the conference could have changed.
It will be recalled that in stating our "Case of Quar-
antine 37" we urged that the matter be investigated
by Secretary Wallace or some unbiased tribunal of
disinterested authorities. Thus far no board answer-
ing to that description has reviewed the case. Secre-
tary Wallace has not yet rendered his verdict. There-
fore we still look to him and to his sense of justice
and equity trusting that they are keen enough and
lofty enough to see all sides of a complex situation.

and ornamental horticulturists, orchid . growers. Rose
growers, etc.; and by individuals. Everyone was en-
couraged to make constructive criticism and sugges-
tions. After every one who desired to be heard had
spoken, often several times, including the represen-
tatives of foreign countries, each group was asked
to form a committee to submit further recommenda-
tions and hold further conference. We are impressed
all through with the effort made by the Secretary of
Agriculture and the Horticultural Board to give ail
full, fair and unprejudiced hearing to every one.

"In our opinion the Board is properly constituted -
as to membership and exercises unusual care to get
expert opinion and advice. There is every evidence
that the Board intends to render every possible as-
sistance to the trade and to individuals in making
introductions.

"To those familiar with the losses now being suf-
fered by the United States from pests accidentally im-
ported before Quarantine 37 was effective, and knowing
the dangers of further introduction, it must be clear
to any unprejudiced mind that much greater care than
formerly must be exercised to prevent introduction
of organisms that may become pests. We believe
that the measures adopted by the Board are wisely
directed to this end. It is clearly apparent to us thatt
the difficulties complained of in the administration of-
the Act (Quarantine 37) are due to the necessity , in-';
herent in the work of dealing frequently with un-
known factors. As the difficulties and dangers become
clearer adjustments will be made to more perfectly
meet the situations.

"It is evident that the Board wishes to do every-'
thing in its power consistent with safety to assist in.
securing desired importations.

"We commend the idea of committees representing
the various interests involved. Frequent conferences'
between such committees and the Board will bring
about a clear understanding on the part of all and se-i
cure the beneficial results that the Act was intended
to give.

"With reference to the Act (Quarantine 37) itself
and the regulations under it, we believe no material
changes are necessary."

Special Advisory Committee Sustains F. H. B.

Secretary Wallace Publishes Report on May 15 Con-
ference Approving Objects, Regulations and
Administration of Qu. 37. Difficulties
Attributed to "Unknown Factors"

By Clarence L. Linz

Secretary of Agriculture Wallace has just made
public the report of the so-called special advisory com-
mittee appointed by him to follow the proceedings
of the plant quarantine conference held in Washing-
ton in May. If the florists and horticulturists of the
country expected any real relief from Qu. 37 as a re-
sult of the appointment of this committee, they are
doomed to disappointment. The belief of the com-
mittee is expressed that no material changes are neces-
sary either in Qu. 37 or in the constitution or regu-
lations of the Federal Horticultural Board.

The Board is given a beautiful coat of whitewash,
whereas it is rumored that its members had expected
that they would be called upon to give way some-
what in their demands for the observance of their
regulations. The report emphasizes the need for
safeguarding the United States against the entry of
foreign plant pests and diseases. The difficulties com-
plained of in the administration of the quarantine,
the committee states, are due to the unknown factors
that have to be dealt with.

The report is signed by the late Prof. J. C. Whit-
ten, horticulturist of the University of California ;
Dr. A. F. Woods, president of the University of Mary-
land, and M. R. Cashman, president of the Ameri-
can Association of Nurserymen, and the text is as
follows :

"In response to your request of May 12, 1922, we
attended on May 15 and 16 the plant quarantine con-
ference called by you to consider particularly the
classes of plants which should be permitted unlimited
entry under Regulation 3 of Qu. 37 and other questions
connected with the administration of this quarantine.
"The conference was well attended by representa-
tives of the various interests involved and each and
every one was given a full and impartial hearing. The
subject was discussed from every angle, both by repre-
sentatives of groups, such as the nurserymen, florists

Let but a few more mornings greet us with driving
rain, drifting fog and dripping showers such as have
characterized nearly every day of the past five*
weeks, and we will be tempted to break into a para-
phrase of some old children's rhyme, this-a-way: '.
Rain, rain, has come to stay;
It soaks the gardens and spoils the hay.
If we don't get some sunshine soon —
We'll be tempted to sleep all day and do our garden- -
ing by the light of the moon.*

Bulb Growing in the South

One of the gentlemen who came to study undei
Max Sending in his recent "clinic" was M. H. Baum
gartner. manager of the Brunswick Floral Co., Bruns
wick, Ga. Mr- Baumgartner brought to this offic<
samples of home grown French Paperwhites. Brieflj!
his story of the culture of these bulbs was that hd
started eight years ago with original French stock-
He finds the bulbs practically double in quantitj
each twelve months. To date, however, he has dug
the bulbs only every second year, and no experimen"
as to their forcing qualities has yet been undertaken

In this connection we believe that Mr. Baumgart
ner would be very pleased indeed to send a few bulb!
to applicants in different parts of the country wh<
will agree to force these and report results. Todaj
he has some 75,000 flowering bulbs on his grounds
From some of these he has obtained as high as nine
teen flowers to the stem. These blooms are shippec
into the big cities and the return to him, deductinj
express, commission and other sales charges, avert
ages about one cent a stem.

His experience with these is that the bulb dug ii
the Spring and replanted in the Fall will bloom somi
two weeks ahead of the bulb that has been left ii
the ground all Summer. Half the crop is dug ever;
year, and this half, replanted, starts blooming tin
middle of November; the other half which is lylni
in the ground comes into flower a little ahead o

ruder the shade of the trees bloom more quickly than
hose which are grown out in the open, which points
o the possibility that shading the growths of these
n the open would produce an earlier maturing, that
s. so far as outdoor grown stock is concerned.

With Mr. Baumgartner the Chinese Sacred Lily
md Soleil d'Or both do well. Of the former they
ret stock of almost the size and appearance of the
mported. and certainly the samples of Soleil d'Or
,vere magnificent looking bulbs, but again we failed
:o obtain the age. The smallest of these latter left
with us was 22cm. in diameter. The Chinese Sacred
Lily, when forced in water, will give the same re-
mits as the imported. Mr. Baumgartner says.

From the foregoing it would seem as though the
conditions in the vicinity of Brunswick, Ga., were
rery similar to the conditions at Ollioules. France,
ivhere most of the French PaperWhit.es come from,
md where also are grown many Soleil d'Or. Mr.
Baumgartner reports that Hyacinths and Tulips do
aot do well with him. although the Romans are
ouitq fair. Poeticus Elvira and Abundance was
planted last year. These came very late and the
plants in the field are not looking very well this
fear. Mr. Baumgartner anticipated Qu. 37 by some
six years.

We express the hope that some of our readers may
_ie interested to the poiut of trying out some of these
Paperwhites under glass and later reporting results
:o this office. Only in this way can publicity be given
o these attempts at home grown stock.

S. A. F and 0. H. Convention

I It is well to bear in mind that the next great big
pvent scheduled to come off will be the thirty-eighth
jinnual convention at Kansas City, Aug. 15 to 17, of
i:he biggest commercial horticultural organization in
j;he world — the Society of American Florists and Or-
jamental Horticulturists. The meeting place favors
i truly national gathering — the men of the South and
Southwest will be there in force and the men of the
Bast and West always attend — so sure success is well
in sight.

The Seed Business in India

By GEORGE CECIL

A Land of Gardens

INDIA being a land of gardens, the seed business
naturally is in a flourishing condition, especially
as nearly all European flowers are suited to the
climate. Not only do several of the principal towns
support a public botanical garden, presided over by
i famous botanist, and most admirably staffed, but
,:he more enlightened among the Rajahs and Maha-
. rajahs devote part of their boundless revenues to the
'same excellent object. A European expert is specially
.engaged, usually for five years at a time, a year's
'leave of absence being granted him upon the expiring
}f his contract. While he is on leave, the chief of the
very capable native staff takes over charge. Smaller
public gardens also abound, all of which are beauti-
fully kept.

Primitive Garden Watering

In the "hot weather," which lasts from the begin-
ning of April till the end of June, countless rupees
'are expended in hiring "Cbeesties," who, with water-
filled goat skins slung on their backs, spend the
greater part of the day bringing moisture to the
'parched soil. When the monsoon has got well under
| way, the services of the "Cheestie" are more or less
dispensed with; but during the Winter, when no rain
'falls, he again becomes indispensable. It may be
noted that less primitive methods of watering the
Ibeds sometimes prevail. As a rule, however, custom
■decrees that the native water carrier must officiate.

As to the bungalow gardens, they are countless :
every European's bungalow possesses a garden of
, sorts, many of them being a joy to the eye. Mahome-
tans, Hindus, Parsees and Armenians of standing are
'equally favored, while the Eurasian (half-caste) ele-
ment, though not professing to care for flowers, culti-
vate them for purposes of gain. And the British sol-
dier in India finds his soul's delight in the little bar-
rack gardens over the beautifying of which he spends
many profitable hours.

The Use of Advertisement

As will readily be understood, there is a constant
demand for seeds, both flower and — to a certain ex-
tent— vegetable, all over India. These are supplied
by three classes of seedsmen ; the European, the na-
tive and the amateur. The European establishments
;*re to be found in Calcutta, Bombay, Madras, Luck-

Onst there wuz a man who went into Bizness
for Hisself.

This man wuz as full of good Idees as a
Sausage Skin is full of Meet. An' that's no
joke ! Everybody recognized that He had some
wonderfully brilliant plans to get more Bizness
an' to win Kustomers.

Peppul sed, "Watch Bings ! He will make his
mark IN the World." They should have sed,
"ON the World." for Bings made a big dent in
the ground. Peppul who sail too high Without
knowin' how to Fly, are very likely 2.

Well. Bings didn't believe in Advertising. He
would take a Good Idee, wrap it up in a Nap-
kin, an' bury it, seemin' to Expect that it would
grow this Weigh. It never did. An' that's why
Bings fell flat with a dull thud an' made a dent
in the Earth's Skin.

It didn't do Bings a bit of good to Boast
about what he could do — for all that counts is
doin' it ! Bings's nabor — a homBly little Tyke
by the name of Boggs, Kontended that bragging
wuz a mistake — that a man in Bizness got far-
ther ahead usiif the same strength to push his
affairs ahead.

Sew Boggs began to Advertise. At first, he
only advertised a Little. Then he saw that it
brought Bizness an' he sed to hisself,

"If I advertise still more, I'll get Still More,
for I see quite plain that one good Idee put
across in print, is worth 1,495.711 secreted in
the Dark Corners of one's Mind, or 819 smart
Idees brought out twice a Year an' hung on the
line to excite the Admiration of the Nabors."

So Boggs kept a-pluggin' away, sayin' little
about what he wuz goin' to do, but actually
Doin' it. He sort of Argified to Hisself that
you can't expect a Wide-Awake Bizness with a
Sleepy man at the Hed of it. Sew Boggs kept
awake.

In the meantime, Boggs prospered Bcause he
backed the Idees he put into print up with real
Merit in Goods an' first-class Service. Bings
wuz havin' a hard time of it. He called Boggs
a Ole Skinflint an' tole everybody that Boggs's
grandfather wuz a Horse Thief.

Won day a man sed to Bings,

"True, my Friend, Ole Man Boggs wuz a
horse thief! Your Grandfather wuz a Gentle-
mun. If He is lookin' down on the 2 of you, I
should think your Grandad would want to
Swap you off for the Descendants of the horse
thief. I'd keep quiet on the subject of Ancestry !
You ain't got nothin' on Boggs that weigh !"

It's What We Do That Counts — Not What
We Boast About Or Think About Doing. We
Only Have Reason To Point To A Proud An-
cestry When We Have Proved Ourselves
Worthy By Raising Its Standard.

now, Simla, Kutachee and elsewhere. Only a small
percentage, however, are seedsmen pure and simple;
they really are general store dealers, with a branch
devoted to the sale of seeds. The department usually
is under the direction of an assistant whose business
it is to see that no customer leaves the shop empty-
handed, inability to satisfy a caller bringing discredit
upon the firm. But a discontented customer is a
rarity, for these establishments are well stocked : the
steamer service between England and India enabling
the seedsman to receive goods between five and six
weeks after they are ordered by letter, or three weeks
after being cabled for.

It also is part of the "assistant's" job to circular-
ize India at large, much business being done by these
means, and to draw up the advertisements. Indeed,
advertisement is the backbone of the seedsman's pros-
perity.

Anglo-Indians have a fair amount of time on their
hands, and they literally read their daily newspaper
from cover to cover, taking particular note of the ad-
vertisements. These sometimes are attractively writ-
ten, and, consequently, serve the purpose. Catalogs,
too, are sent out wholesale, and they certainly are
well received.

An Alluring Offer

Many of the native general stores devote special
attention to the sale of seeds, flower seeds chiefly,
since few European vegetables take kindly to the In-
dian soil. The picturesque, whitewashed, thatched
bungalow, forming the premises, is gay with Nastur-
tiums, Sweet Peas, Pansies and Wallflowers, grown
from the seeds which the merchant has for sale, while
the garden surrounding the establishment is put to the
same business-like purpose. A notice, in fact, is dis-
played to the effect that the flowers on view have

emerged from the packets of seeds "on sale within."'
The white robed, turbaued native, who presides at the-
receipt of custom, is by way of speaking English, and, .
as often as not, his strange incursions into a foreign*
language are mainly instrumental in effecting a sale.

* * * "Sahib, these flowers all first-class being. Your
honor buying same seed ; him satisfied being. If not
money returned is. I not 'dam' liar ; always telling
truth am. By jove, yes * * *"

The guileless black, who probably is a most ortho-
dox Hindu, is unaware that he has rapped out an ad-
jective forbidden by his religion. The word "damn" is1
easy to remember ; and he has heard the white cus-
tomers use it.

Unfair Competition

The amateur seedsmen are both European and na-
tive. The first named include tea and indigo planters,
officers, judges, magistrates, chaplains and employees
in business firms. Their spare time is devoted to sort-
ing and putting up in packets, the seeds for which
they hope to find a market, and in the intervals, they
compose suitable advertisements. Naturally, the trade
resents these improper activities, arguing that the
cobbler should stick to his last. This, however, is one
of the things which do not happen in India, where
those who have to earn their living, or who save every
available farthing with a view to early retirement,
neglect no means of adding to the hoard. Even the
important concerns, which own jute, cotton, sugar
and flour mills, dabble in the sale of seeds, advertis-
ing that they are the sole representatives for so-and-
so's specialties. But it is a mistake to entrust an
agency to these people ; they have absolutely no means
of distribution, and the public, failing to connect them
with the seed business, ignores their advertisements.
The agencies which they secure cannot be of much use
to them.

Native government pensioners also are a thorn in
the flesh of the legitimate dealers. Conducting opera-
tions from their own houses, and by means of circu-
lars and advertisements, they undersell the seedsman
proper. As the profit is infinitesimal, the motto of
these people evidently is "a sale at any cost."

"V. P. P."

In by-gone days, the Anglo-Indian tradesmen al-
lowed lavish credit, with the result that several of the
seed selling fraternity found themselves in the bank-
ruptcy court. Some 30 years ago the "V. P. P." (value
payable post) system was started, and the seedsmen
once more prospered. When goods were ordered, the
merchant despatched them to the consignee's post
office, and they were duly handed over upon the
amount being paid to the postman. At first, the sys-
tem resulted in loss of trade; the customers, taking
exception to what they were pleased to term, a lack
of confidence, angrily refused to accept the consign-
ment. They sent their orders to England, and
awaited, with what patience they could, the arrival
of the parcel. Eventually, common sense prevailed ;
recognizing that "Home" was a long way off, they
ordered from Calcutta, Bombay, and other towns and
suffered the "V. P. P."

Seedsmen who have, in a weak moment, given credit
to an "up-country" customer, occasionally send a re-
ceipt by "V. P. P.", hoping that the debtor, to save
his face, will pay up. Sometimes he does. In a small
"station" gossip rapidly spreads, and the sahib's finan-
cial difficulties soon become public property.

A Fatal Mistake

Some of the native seed establishments are the
strangest places imaginable. Situated in an evil-
smelling bazaar, they consist of a couple of tiny
whitewashed rooms, cobwebby and thick with the ac-
cumulated dust of ages. Packets of seeds are strewn
about the floor of beaten earth, others being accom-
modated on rough shelves or piled in corners. There
is no sort of method or order ; should a customer de-
mand Sunflower seed, these may, in due course, turn
out to be mustard and cress, the package having been
wrongly marked. Upon being confronted with his
carelessness, the proprietor shows no contrition. On
the contrary, he blames the purchaser for not having
satisfied himself that the packet contained what was
asked for. After a quarter of an hour's torrid abuse,
Mahomed Ali, retires to the inner room, and (in a
truly appalling atmosphere) regales himself with a
frugal mess of rice and ghi (rancid butter). Nothing
puts him out.

The native gardener seldom buys seeds without
bargaining prodigiously — 'tis part and parcel of his
method * * * "Salaam, o seedsman. I have two ru-
pees to spend on seeds. What, then, will you give me?

* * * By Allah, your's is a mean offer. I expected at
least seven packets of Mignonette, three of Heart's-
ease, and six of Stocks. Must I then go to your rival,
Ali Khan, who is a born protector of the poor?"

The threat works; and the purchaser departs — sat-
isfied with two-thirds of the quantity demanded.

of reducing certain commodities. The National In-
dustrial Traffic League and just a few others took
the same stand, and no doubt all of you saw the de-
cision in the daily papers rendered by the Commission
in May whereby a general reduction of 10 per cent
all over the country was ordered into effect on July 1.
Since the above decision was rendered a several
hundred million dollar cut in railroad wages has
been ordered, and if this goes into effect we feel con-
fident that freight rates will come down further in
the near future.

Restoration of Second Class Express Rating

For some time we have had this matter up with
the express company by correspondence, and we
called personally at the New York office in February,
but so far we have not been able to get any encour-
agement that the old rating would be restored. The
express officials advise us that railroad companies
at the present time are receiving only about 31 per
cent of express revenue for their service, and that if
the express company lowered or wanted to lower its
rates the carriers would have to be consulted and that
they had made vigorous protest against this. Inquiry
among railroad traffic officials has confirmed the
above statement, 'but they frankly state that the kind
of contract between the carriers and the company
should not in any manner enter into any argument
between a shipper and the companies.

We are now compiling data on this question and
expect to file a formal protest with the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and see if the old rating can-
not be restored. The present express classification
provides second-class rating on many commodities
that have as high or higher value than nursery stock
and that are more perishable as we expect to bring
out at the hearing.

In discussions with one or two classification ex-
perts in the Interstate Commerce building they un-
officially gave it as their opinion that neither the
Commission or the express company would ever grant
the second-class rate again on all nursery packages,
but thought, perhaps, we might be successful in urg-
ing the Commission to have the old rating restored on
nursery stock packages weighing 300 lbs. or less. We,
therefore, expect to make the fight along that line
when it comes up.

Prepayment of Freight on Nursery Shipments

Some of the membership in Iowa, Massachusetts,
Missouri, Alabama and other States had the usual
trouble this Spring of having their shipments refused
by the carriers unless all freight charges were pre-
paid and whenever the matter was called to our at-
tention we immediately took up with interested car-
riers and had the trouble adjusted. Along this line
we would like to call the membership's attention to
Consolidated Freight Classification No. 2, Page No. 5,
Rule No. 9, Section No. 2, which reads as follows :
"Freight on which prepayment is required may,
on approval of the General Freight Department of
the carrier with which the freight originated, be
forwarded on a guarantee of the shipper that all
charges will be paid at destination."
When handling nursery stock shipments few agents
remember the above rule, wherefore in future, if any
of you should have this trouble, simply call the
agent's attention to it. If this is not sufficient write
or wire us and we will take it up promptly. We have
called attention to this matter in our annual report
for the last seven or eight years, but presume that in
the rush of each busy season you have forgotten it.

Modification of Outside Tag Requirements Secured

General circular No. 4-B, Section No. 1 of the Ameri-
can Railway Express, states that all packages or boxes
of nursery stock must show an outside tag giving a
list of the contents of each .package. This Spring some
of our members had their shipments temporarily re-
fused or delayed by the agent demanding that they
comply with the above ruling. When the matter was
called to our attention we 'phoned, wrote and person-
ally visited the headquarters of the company at St.
Louis finally convincing them there that the rule
would work great hardship upon the nurserymen and
be almost impossible to comply with, and further sug-
gested that as only three States required that an out-
side tag should show the contents of the package the
general rule referred to should be amended to read
somewhat as follows :

"Where certain States require that the package
should bear an outside tag showing the nature of
contents and quantity such outside tag for nursery
stock going into such States should show the con-
tents and quantity."
Under date of May 2 the General Traffic Manager

Harlan P. Kelsey of Mass.

Elected Viee-Piesident American Association of Nurserymen

of the American Railway Express Co. in New York
City wrote us in regard to this^ as follows :

"Reply to your letter of April 10th has been delayed
until I can make a little investigation of the subject
matter.

"Our sole purpose in requiring in our General Circu-
lar No. 4-B that the nature of contents and quantity of
nursery stock should be shown on the outside tag was
to insure compliance with the various State laws which
require that this be done, and we thought it would be
simpler to make that a requirement as to all ship-
ments rather than confine it to the States which spe-
cifically direct that it be done.

"In view of what you say as to the annoyance and
difficulty which it will make for the nurserymen, 1 am
quite agreeable to amending it as suggested by you,
that is, make the requirement only as to shipments des-
tined to States which specifically require it.

"It may be some time before we can get a supple-
ment to these instructions in the hands of our agents,
and meanwhile you are at liberty to make use of the
information in this letter in any way that you see fit.

This correction, or amendment, no doubt will be
taken care of in the next supplement to general circu-
lar or long before the next nursery season commences.

Classification Changes

During the year a few changes were made in the
freight classification in the nature of reduction on
nursery stock shipments. One of these applied to not
dormant shrubs in crates, boxes or barrels in less
than carloads for which, up to this time, no rating
had been provided for.

Membership

Last year we had 351 members. Of this number
311 paid their dues while 40 dropped out, which
shows a loss of 11 4/10 per cent.

This year we have 332 members, and at this writ-
ing 312 have paid their dues, while 20 have not.
Should none of the 20 pay up it will show a loss in
membership of only six per cent compared with
11 4/10 per cent last year.

Railroad Claims and Other Collections

This year we have collected for the nurserymen
railroad" claims and collection bureau accounts, $26,-
258.34. About . one-third of the membership have
availed themselves of this service.

Proposed Tariff Criticized

The report of the committee on tariff and legisla-
tion presented by Orlando Harrison called attention
to the great value of the American Farm Bureau
Federation to all agricultural and horticultural inter-
ests. A protest against the doubling of the duty on
fruit tree seedlings has been filed with the committee.

W. C. Reed, chairman of the arbitration committee,
reported a total of nine cases involving in all about
$10,000 disposed of during the year. Several re-
quests from trade and florists' papers for a report of
arbitration work have been denied, the committee
taking the position that such matters were private
affairs and when settled should not be advertised.

Vigilance Committee Acts

Much interest was evinced in the report of the
Vigilance Committee, Paul C. Lindley, chairman.
Resolutions from the executive committee relative to
the reprimanding of certain nurseries for violations
of established trade standards and ethics, and recom-
mending the expulsion of two other members for per-
sistent unethical actions, were adopted after con-
siderable discussion.

It was also resolved that "since quoting wholesale
prices on open mail cards reveals information to those
who should not see it, we condemn this practice and
request members to discontinue and discourage it.-"

Report of Committee on Nomenclature

For this committee, Chairman Harlan P. Kelsey
reported as follows :

As secretary of the American Joint Committee on
Horticultural Nomenclature your chairman is able to
give the latest information as to the forthcoming
Official Catalog of Standardized Plant Names.

As you know the actual work of producing the ma-
terial' for this catalog has been done by a sub-com-
mittee of three, Frederick Law Olmsted, chairman,
Frederick V. Coville, and Harlan P. Kelsey, ably as-
sisted by officers of national organizations in all lead-
ing horticultural lines. On the mechanical and busi-
ness end the sub-committee is working closely with
J. Horace McFarland, chairman of the American Joint
Committee, who is also doing the printing, which in-
sures the highest typographical excellence and ac-
curacy.

All the original manuscript is prepared, and Dr. Co-
ville. honorary member of the A. A. N. committee, is
handling the preparation of the final copy for the
printer.

Over one-fourth of the work is now in type, and a
set of galley proof sheets up to number 65 is sub-
mitted herewith as a part of this report, together
with the Fruit Name List printed as a separate. It
is by far the most authentic, accurate and up-to-date
list of fruit names ever published. This list, however,
is being further revised as belated proof sheets come
in.

No one, least of all your chairman, realized the
size of the job we were undertaking; yet while every-
one regrets the delay, I am sure that the finished
product will be such as to fully warrant the extra
time used in carefully proofreading and revising. This
proofreading mostly is done by the sub-committee,
for those nurserymen who received proof sheets threw
up their hands when they saw what they were up
against.

Last year the A. A. N. appropriated $250 towards
the expenses of the American Joint Committee, and
advanced $750 as a loan. In view of the unavoidable
expenses continuing I believe the association should
again this year appropriate another $250.

So far 1095 copies have been subscribed for at the
advance price of $3.50 per copy entirely in response
to circulars sent out by the secretary, showing that
with wide publicity the work will be a success in
every way. The comments on the proof sheets by ex-
perts are highly commendatory.

The price is now $5 per copy, and every effort
should be made to run the sales up to several thou-
sand copies.

Dr. Coville is devoting much time and labor to the
final preparation of printer's copy, a work that can
only be done by a single person of exceptional ability
in that particular line. The Government's hearty

cooperation has saved the Joint Committee thousands
of dollars expense and horticulturists everywhere
should know and appreciate this.

The path trod has been new and thorny and the
obstacles unbelievably difficult to surmount, but we
see daylight ahead and I believe that publication may
certainly be looked for in a few months.

Various Committee Reports

The committee on necrology reported the following
deaths: D. S. Lake, P. H. Stannard, Peter Youngers,
■Clarence M. Wedge, Sam W. Crowell.

The committee on courses in nursery training in
agricultural colleges reported that the Massachusetts
Agricultural College at Amherst has provided a short
term course which was in operation last Winter, and
that the University of Illinois has announced a four
year course commencing in September 1922 under
the direction of Prof. J. C. Blair. The New York
State College of Agriculture at Cornell University
is willing to provide a four year course and add two
specialists on insects and fungous diseases of trees
and shrubs, as soon as funds are made available by
the New York legislature.

W. G. McKay, chairman of the committee on dis-
tribution, reported that it had been rather inactive
during the past year, owing to the fact that many
items of stock were scarce, some Pines off the market
entirely, other sorts available only in small amounts
and but few items in surplus. The committee de-
plored the fact that as soon as there is any small sur-
plus of some classes of stock, it finds its way into
department stores and, in many instances, is sold
cheaper at retail than it can be bought from the
wholesale nurseryman. The practice of some nursery-
men of disposing of all their surplus to department
stores at half the regular wholesale prices, should
be condemned. The slogan should be, "Plant less and
reap more."

Thursday's Program

One of the interesting features of Thursday morn-
ing's session was A. F. Lake's paper on, "Are We
Fooling Ourselves?" which was described by Presi-
dent Cashman as "the kind of speech we all like to
hear, and to which we can say, Amen !' " It brought
forth a rising vote of thanks, and will be found in
this issue beginning on the Nursery page.

Market Development Progress

The report of the Market Development and Pub-
licity Committee was read by the chairman, F. F.
Rockwell of Bridgeton, N. J. The committee's first
work consisted in getting from each nursery a list
of the newspapers in its selling territory, to which
papers the committee proposed sending publicity ar-
ticles. (It was suggested to the committee that a
newspaper directory would furnish these names, but
it was pointed out by Mr. Rockwell that such a di-
rectory would not give the desired information as to
the class of people reached hy these publications and
that the nurserymen were in better position to judge
of the class of readers reached by the newspapers
published in their selling territory.) The committee
now has a list of over 4000 newspapers, fairly evenly
distributed over the entire country as the solid
foundation on which the market development work is
being built, and which, if properly cultivated, should
be worth tens of thousands of dollars to the members
of the association during the next few years.

The next step in developing the market is to pro-
vide the right kind of ammunition for the batteries.
It is comparatively easy to get material published ;
but much more difficult to secure material that will
stimulate action on the part of the reader when it is
published. Mere bits of planting information will
not do. Every article should be prepared with three
things in mind: (1) It should attract the reader's
attention, so that he will he led to read it; (2) It
should give him (or her) real information; (3) The
"story" should create a definite desire on the part of
the reader, it should leave him with the mental reso-
lution that sooner or later he will possess himself
of the tree, plant or flower described.

After getting the media and prepared material,
the next step is to get the former to use the latter,
to "get it across" as the phrase is. The newspapers
are so used to having the attempt made to "put some-
thing over" on them, they they are suspicious of all
free material, whether it is of real interest and
value to their readers or not. For the purpose of
getting distribution for the publicity material, the
committee has used "the National Planting Service."
Someone has remarked, said Mr. Rockwell, that the
purpose is to "make America more beautiful and the
nursery business more fruitful." "Well, we admit it
and if there is anyone in the room who has any ob-
jection to either of these two most worthy aims, we

would like to hear from him. Our experience in this
year's market development work shows that the
press is ready, as never before, to use material on
gardening. Many of the largest papers in the country
have used everything that has been sent out by the
National Planting Service. We believe that the A. A.
N. is getting the most economical business building
publicity that we know of in this country. The com-
mittee has spent on this year's work, in round figures,
considerably less than $4000."

State, Sectional and National Associations

Following Mr. Rockwell, Paul C. Lindley made
some good suggestions in regard to State and Sec-
tional associations, saying in part :

Almost everyone confuses the two words, "promi-
nent" and "conspicuous." Being chairman of your
Vigilance Committee has made me conspicuous, not
prominent, and I feel like some more prominent mem-
ber of our association could discuss the subject more
intelligently. I stand before you, therefore, today
only because of the insistence of your Program Com-
mittee.

First, "Why do people laugh at us?" This can only
be corrected by State, National and sectional associa-
tions working in harmony. Many of you gentlemen
will take exception to my remark that when a nur-
seryman is introduced, people smile, for our business
is one of God's greatest gifts ; what they laugh at is
the way we handle it. I don't mean by we the mem-
bers of' the A. A. N., but as we come under the same
classification as nurserymen at large, it is up to us
to clear away this damaging impression.

"M. T. Nutt" says in the National Nursery, "Why
all this 'holier than thou' stuff at every gathering of
nurserymen?" But evidently he did not know that
the beginning of the Lovejoy articles was an accusa-
tion that cut-back mowing machine Peach trees were
being sold. John Watson did not believe it, had never
heard of it, but it was the truth just the same.

One of our prominent Eastern nurserymen has been
using nursery rhymes in his advertising in a very
telling way, but "Nursery Ads in Rhymes, Read and
Keep Up with the Times," by J. W. Hall, Memphis,
Tenn., is a portion of a 500-word communication scat-
tered broadcast to his trade, concerning his "Live and
Let Live Nursery." This is how it goes :

"As gold and silver comes from Peru
So my nursery sells the best trees that ever grew.
They grow the prettiest peaches on which the wind

ever blew.
My customers say the fruit is as sweet as Honey

Dew.
We sell the old varieties as well as the new.
Better still, all our trees to name are true,
Therefore, our orders are many, not few;
We sell to the Gentile, also to the Jew,
To those in the pulpit, as well as to those in the

pew.
You'll And our trees all over the Southern States .

as you go through,
For, as a rule, our customers stick to us like glue.
They have money in the bank and something to

chew.
So it will pay you to join our nursery crew.
When you pay for 50 trees, you'll get a pound cake

and a chicken stew.
When you pay for 100 trees, you'll get $10 and a

ribbon blue."

Stanley (a cartoonist) publishing a series run-
ning in practically every paper in the United States,
under the title, "The Old Home Town," recently pic-
tured a fruit tree salesman who covered his territory
last Spring, going through town today — and not stop-
ping. He is lashing his horse, two bundles of trees
are sticking out the end of his buggy, the side cur-
tains are up, dogs are barking and one farmer says,
"That's the scamp," another says, "He sold me some
Chinese Pineapple trees, etc." In another cartoon a
few days later he uses the sign, "Agents for Ever-
bloom grass seed." You smile. Why should not others
at this true, ridiculous picture?

During the late war it was not 95 per cent, but a
measly five per cent of the pro-Germans in the United
States, that caused Uncle Sam to enact drastic laws
to protect our industries.

I firmly believe that at least 95 per cent of the
nursery industry is composed of clean, honorable
men, but the other five per cent of so-called nursery-
men are the chief cause of why people laugh at us
and many of the recent drastic laws, especially in the
Southern States.

What the Different Bodies Can Do

In discussing State, sectional and National asso-
ciations, let's call them by three simple, old-fashioned
words, "Readin'," " 'Riting" and " 'Rithmetic."

"Readin' " defines our State associations, which in
some States comprise more members than the largest
sectional association. In five counties in Tennessee
there are more than 100 men interested in the nur-
sery industry. The State Entomologist of Florida lists

2700 nurseries in his State. These groups of men in
the different States can get together oftener than
once a year, for friendship, good will, to talk over
longs and shorts, prices and other matters vital to
their own immediate State. These meetings bring the
big fellow and little fellow together, and do away
with the old, competitive feeling. State associations
should be encouraged.

" 'Riting" is my term for sectional associations.
This is a step towards real constructive work. Here
is the place to define a nurseryman; here we can
bring together a bunch of men not financially able to
join or attend national meetings, yet with problems
that need attention. Here is the place to bring to-
gether your nursery foremen and your office men and
have talks that will enlighten those that really han-
dle our business. Sectional associations are necessary
on account of the extreme difference existing in the
different sections of the United States.

Wm. Flemer, Sr., of Princeton, N. J., summarizing
his suggestions for sectional nurserymen's associa-
tions, says :

"It seems to me that there should be three distinct
associations — State, Sectional and National — and that
as far as practical the committees of the sectional
body be made up from the members constituting the
like committees in the States included in that section;
and that the National committees in turn consist of
men selected from the like committees in the sectional
associations, of which it appears to me there should be
Ave; namely. Eastern, Southern, Central, Western, and
Pacific Coast. In this way the National association will
always be a representative body of all interests."

I believe his suggestion should get a fair trial; it
is the only feasible plan for closer cooperation and for
the best interests of all nursery associations. This
body of key men should be able to mold the state of
mind in their respective associations.

" 'Rithmetic" is the National association. Its pur-
pose is to function on National problems and assist
minor organizations in State matters that might be-
come National in scope; and its aim is the advance-
ment of the nursery interest of the country.

The State and sectional associations often have a
piano to move. Is the American Association of Nur-
serymen going to grab the stool or help move the
piano? The A. A. N. is a battery station. The various
State and sectional associations send their key men to
its convention to be recharged.

Do we need a Master Key, a coordinator to assist
the key men of the different associations, the chair-
men of the different committees in their work? No
nurseryman has the time, nor can he neglect his busi-
ness to attend to the many minor details necessary
to the success of our industry. In Washington, not
geographically, but logically the center of the United
States, we need an office, and a coordinator.

As a means of accomplishing something definite,
let's try this "triple tie-up," with a coordinator, and
see if it isn't worth while.

Major O'Keefe on Advertising

The next speaker was Major P. F. O'Keefe of Boston
who, in a characteristic talk, called attention to the
many evidences of the "power of intelligently directed
advertising — the miracle-working stimulator of many
American industries." He cited the experiences of such
well-known individuals as Wrigley, Waterman and
Hires in developing their annual advertising campaigns
from affairs requiring less than $100 to the present
expenditures of several hundred thousands; he
pointed to the effects of publicity on Grape Fruit,
Northwestern Apples, domestic raisins and California
Oranges. Then he mentioned the naturally close re-
lations between the six million and more American
farmers with their immense buying power and the
nurserymen who, he suggested, might not be fully
alive to the opportunities presented thereby. Even
more important as potential buyers, he said, were
the 140,000 gardeners, florists, fruit growers and
nurserymen in the United States, made up roughly of
60,000 general gardeners, 5000 landscape gardeners,
45,000 fruit growers, etc.

He also suggested the possibilities of the growing
interest in forestry and conservation as a stimulus of
increased buying of the nurseryman's products. He
urged cooperation with the American Forestry Asso-
ciation, the Boy Scout activities and all other such
movements which, commendable and useful in them-
selves, also have a real publicity value from which
any associated industry can benefit. He suggested
active participation by the members of the associa-
tion in city and town improvement campaigns and in
the activities of the various State, sectional and local
garden clubs which, in the aggregate, make up an
important and powerful force in behalf of increased
planting and plant growing operations. He called
attention to the endeavors of Chambers of Commerce
and local improvement committees in beautifying
their communities and developing gardens and groves,
citing the success of Portland in associating itself
with Roses. All such endeavors, he said, can use

Flemer. Jr., Princeton. N. J.

The address of Prof. Scott on the Nursery Stock
Investigations of the Department of Agriculture was
published as a nursery feature in last week's EX-
CHANGE.

The Development of Horticulture and Pomo-

logical Work in the Department of

Agriculture

This subject, ably handled by Dr. L. C. Corbett, of
the Bureau of Plant Industry, concerned itself with
the nursery interests in a rather general way, by
showing how the improved varieties of fruits and
vegetables and the improved methods of handling and
shipping such products will tend to increase horticul-
tural interest and bring more business to the nurser-
ies.

Dr. Corbett recalled that as early as 1S62 horticul-
ture was recognized as an important feature of the
Department's work in the appointment of Wm, Saun-
ders as Horticulturist. It was he who started the
Department's indoor and outdoor collections of plants,
including Grapes, Olives, Apples and ornamentals,
many being Importations from Europe. He also in-
troduced from Bahia, Brazil the navel Orange,
which laid the foundation for the California citrus
industry.

Pomology, he stated, attained the importance of a
separate division of the horticultural work in 1SS5
and 1886 when, under Commissioner Norman J. Col-
man, Prof. H. E. Van Deman was made, first, special
agent and then Pomologist of the Department. From
such small beginnings have come the various bureaus
that. deal with problems of plant culture, propagation,
improvement, protection, marketing and utilization
each of which fields has its own great importance.

Speaking of special investigations into the problem
of improved, more profitable varieties, Dr. Corbett
said :

"The result of the trad selection work carried on in
connection with the citrus industry of California has
demonstrated the fact that there are, among the
citrus tree population of California, individual plants
which produce large quantities of highly desirable
fruits annually. It has as clearly and as emphatically
been demonstrated that there are trees which grow
vigorously and are in reality the most attractive trees
m the orchard, but which bear very sparingly fruits
of inferior quality and appearance. A method" of tree
records has been devised which enables growers in a
very inexpensive and simple way to determine which
of the trees in any given population belong to the
productive or the non-productive class ; and with the
modern methods of plant propagation, it is an easy
matter to amputate the heads of the non-productive
individuals and replace them, not with boueheads.
but heads of a productive and profitable nature The
influence of this work on the citrus industry has been
very marked and has enlisted the attention of growers
of other types of fruit to such an extent that the De-
partment is now planning to extend such studies to
fruits other than the Orange and Lemon.

"The Pecan industry, which is the most important
branch of the nut industry of America founded strict-
ly on a native plant, has relied for its guidance chiefly
upon the studies of the Department for the variety
list which is uow used as the basis of the industry,
for the methods of grading which are now employed]
and for the general cultural practices which are "fol-
lowed. No horticultural industry with which we have
to deal has so brief an existence as the Pecan indus-
try. There are no traditions or records of cultivation
upon which to base orchard practices. The job is a
pioneering job from start to finish, and although it is
beset by many difficulties as new undertakings always
are, it has attained very considerable proportions in
the quarter of a century of its existence."

After discussing various types of "project" or in-
vestigation dealing with problems of the grower of
Potatoes, Peas for canning, Oranges, etc., he said :

"The one project, perhaps, of all those included in
the scope of the office of Horticulture and Pomology
in which the members of this particular association
are most interested is that having to do with the
investigations in the propagation of plants. For many
years the Department has been interested in various
phases of the problems of plant propagation. This
problem was very emphatically brought onto the hori-

zon by the appearance of phylloxera in the vineyards
of California. As you know, the Grape industry of
the Pacific Coast is projected on the European va-
rieties of Grapes. These are not indigenous to Amer-
ica and are not resistant to phylloxera. The spread
of the trouble in California is bound in time to ac-
complish the same results that it did when intro-
duced into France, though probably not as quickly,
because America has a greater area of new land on
which to transplant its Grape activities as old vine-
yards go out through infestation. Ultimately we will
reach our limit, and if we are to continue in the
production of viuifera Grapes on our Pacific Coast we
will have to resort to the use of resistant stocks for
the propagation and maintenance of our industry.
The Department has for a number of years concerned
itself with the introduction, testing, and determina-
tion of the adaptability and congeniality of these re-
sistant stocks. In fact, this experience forms the
background for some of the important investigations
which it is now undertaking in its study of the ques-
tion of the adaptability, congeniality, and commercial
possibilities of fruit tree and ornamental stocks.

"It has long Ibeen recognized that one of the great
weaknesses of the commercial orchards of the coun-
try at the present time is the lack of uniformity in
the stocks used for propagation purposes. Every or-
chard which one visits which lias attained any con-
siderable age clearly shows the lack of uniformity
in the stocks used, through the vacancies which oc-
cur from place to place in the orchard, and through
dwarf trees with low productive capacity in one
block and of strong vigorous desirable trees in others.
* * * The background, therefore, of the Department's
activity in connection with fruit tree stocks is to. if
possible, develop those which are well adapted to the
various production regions and which will give uni-
formity of product in the shape of an orchard tree
population.

"But after we have given consideration to all of
the varied phases of the problems of production we
yet need an attractive place in which to locate our
habitation. The horticultural and pomological activi-
ties of the Department do not neglect the surround-
ings of the rural home in their project scheme. We
are endeavoring through the development of simple
plans and the use of inexpensive material to develop
a real taste for home beautification throughout the
length and breadth of our land. We do not feel that
in doing this we are competing with the commercial
landscape architect, but we are really developing a
sense of the beautiful and a desire to make home sur-
soundings more attractive, which will without doubt
later reflect itself in increased work for the land-
scape architect, and which, through the increased de-
mand for trees and shrubs, will surely contribute to
the coffers of the nurserymen."

Quarantine Rules to be Published

A report of the committee on Federal and State
Quarantine Regulations was presented by A. H. Hill,
who stated that his committee had cooperated with
S. B. Detwiller, of the Federal Department of Agri-
culture in compiling and publishing a condensed and
easily understood edition of quarantine regulations,
bearing on the interstate movement of nursery stock.
The committee has finally decided on the publication
of all such matter in book form, with a chart, ar-
ranged in alphabetical order by States. This will
show at a glance what each State requires of all
nurserymen who intend to ship nursery stock into it.
It is hoped that the Department of Agriculture will
publish this bulletin as soon as the data involved
are known to be complete and correct.

Standardization Problems and Suggestions

Harlan P. Kelsey reported on Nomenclature and
Standardization of Trade Practices, his valuable data
and recommendations having been printed in pam-
phlet form. This will appear in some future issue
of The Exchange. At the Friday session E. S. Welch.
Shenandoah. Iowa, presented a paper entitled The
March of Standardization, in which he said :

The March of Standardization

Every branch of industry has sooner or later recog-
nized the fact that progress must come through the
proper application of the basic principle of standardi-
zation.

The first definite move to remedy the situation by
legislation was the introduction in Congress of the
present Apple grading law, commonly known as the
Sulzer law. The passage of this act served to awaken
public sentiment in favor of providing a standard
which would eliminate fraudulent and deceptive pack-
ing, stabilize the market and stimulate better meth-
ods of production ; but its provisions were wholly per-
missive, and there was no appropriation for its en-
forcement.

Would Prohibit Misbranding

The misbranding of seeds, roots, bulbs or nursery
stock would be prohibited under the terms of a bill
introduced in Congress by Rep. Rogers of Massachu-
setts "to protect the public against fraud by prohibit-
ing the manufacture, sale or transportation of inter-
state commerce of mistiraiided or misrepresented ar-
ticles."

Section 2 of the measure provides that any person
who applies or causes to be applied "any false trade
description to any goods, wares, merchandise or
things shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and for each
offense shall, upon conviction thereof, be fined not
to exceed $1000 or shall be guilty of a misdemeanor,
and for each offense shall, upon conviction thereof,
be fined not to exceed $1000 or shall be sentenced to
imprisonment for a term not to exceed two years, or
both." For each subsequent offense the flue would
be not less than $1000 and imprisonment not less
than one year.

Every person who sells or exposes for sale or has
in his possession for sale or any purpose of trade or
manufacture any goods whatsoever to which any
false trade description is applied, shall be guilty of
a misdemeanor under the terms of the act. It is pro-
vided, however, that seeds, roots, bulbs or nursery
stock unintentionally misbraiided because of indis-
tinguishability by their appearance shall not be
deemed misbranded. Then follow the conditions un-
der which merchandise will be deemed misbranded.

Rules and regulations for the administration of
the act are to be made jointly by the Secretaries of
the Treasury, Commerce and Agriculture.

Retail dealers who are found in possession of mis-
branded goods will be held innocent if they can pro-
duce a guaranty signed by the manufacturer, whole-
saler or other person residing in the United States
from whom the articles were purchased, to the effect
that they are not misbranded or misrepresented
within the meaning of the law.

For Trade with Germany

The first substantial effort to resume normal trade
relations with Germany and to make it possible for
Germany to buy raw materials from the United
States, notwithstanding the great disparity in the'
exchange rates, was made when Congressman Thomas
F. Smith of New York introduced a bill in the House
of Representatives establishing a credit in favor of
Germany. Under the terms of this bill Germany
could contract for her requirements and secure pay-
ment by guarantees to be approved by the Repara-
tions Commission. This is in accordance with the
plan of the Allied Economic Council, which recently
announced that measures would be taken to estab-
lish a credit in the allied or neutral countries in
favor of Germany, which would have a priority over
the reparations demands of the Allied countries.

Cheap Fertilizers Demanded

The operation by the Government of the Muscle
Shoals nitrate plant is being advocated by the Na-
tional Board of Farm Organizations in Washington
and a number of Senators have expressed themselves
as in favor of the necessary legislation. It is stated
that the United States is annually paying Chile about
$10,000,000 in export duty alone for the nitrates she
permits' us to use. Further, the price is fixed in Lon-
don by a commission on which two representatives
of the Chilean Government have seats.

Senator Norris points out that some of the Sena-
tors dislike supporting this plan because they fear
being accused of Government ownership proclivities.
An immense saving could be effected, however, if
the Government would take this work up.

The House of Representatives has passed a bill
authorizing the postal service to accept for transmis-
sion without stamps affixed first-class mail matter
presented in bulk under such regulations as may be
promulgated by the Post Office Department, and the
measure now goes to the Senate for action.

Remedies for Graft

No halfway spirit is observable in the measures
adopted. The industry has simply made up its mind
to be ethical and has resolved that weak-willed con-
cerns in the trade shall have no opportunity to fall
by the wayside. In pursuance of this resolve it has
established a Bureau of Unfair Competition to closely
follow trade tendencies, to combat general or specific
instances of bribery both within and without the in-
dustry, to cooperate in legislative measures designed
to correct the evil, and generally exert the entire
influence of the industry to establish ethical condi-
tions in commerce.

In England "a gardener writes to a firm of nur-
serymen that his bulbs and seeds have not grown well

of late, adding that his private address is — ."

In Maryland, during the 1918 session of the Legisla-
ture, a law was passed striking directly at the so-
licitation by gardeners of gifts and commissions.

July S, 1922.

The Florists' Exchange

85

In this country pioneer work has been done by the
paint and varnish industries, which created an Un-
fair Competition Bureau at Washington for the pur-
pose of cooperating with the Federal and State au-
thorities to preventing this evil from ever securing a
new foothold. This organization has no counterpart
in the world, unless perhaps in Sweden. The Swedish
machinery industry, however, lacks the aid of the
Government, which in this country has proved of
much assistance to the paint and varnish industries.
One significant result of the activity of these trades
is the recognition of their work by many manufac-
turers to whom they sell.

Henry B. Chase, of Chase. Ala., read a significant
paper on the dangers of overproduction, which will
be published, with appropriate comment, in an early
issue.

The Nurseryman's Mission in the Landscape
Field

This important subject was treated in an inspiring
way by Walter E. Campbell, president of the Elm
City Nursery Co., New Haven, Conn., who pointing
out* what the Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs have accom-
plished in the last decade because they started out
with a definite mission, said : "Every nurseryman
engaged in growing ornamental plants can he, and
should be, a missionary in the landscape field. We
can take a cue from the mottoes of the two clubs
just mentioned and conduct our business with a sin-
cere desire to build and to serve. Because we grow
all manner of plants in straight rows in our fields
we must not believe that we are landscape gardeners
and know all there is to learn about our product."

Landscape gardening, he continued, is one of the
liberal arts, and is a lifelong study in itself. While it
Is not expected that every nurseryman should com-
pletely master the subject, we should at least fa-
miliarize ourselves with the basic principles and be
quite sure that when we give information it is cor-
rect as far as we are able to furnish it.

There are plants in all our nurseries especially
suited to sunny places, shady places, dry places and
wet places, and plants which will adjust themselves
to almost any type and character of soil; yet many of
these grow together under practically the same con-
ditions in our nurseries. It is our duty to ourselves
and our customers to study carefully the various
characteristics of our plants and know them, so that
we can properly inform purchasers of the special con-
ditions under which any plant will do best. Our desire
to serve must be grounded on a knowledge and sin-
cerity, and we must always be willing to miss a Sale
rather than to suggest an improper plant for any
particular location or condition.

Learn from Nature and from Books

How is the busy nurseryman to acquire this knowl-
edge, some one might ask. That's easy. No nursery-
man can take a walk through the fields or in the
woods without coming in contact with Nature ready
and willing to teach him a lesson ; and any lesson
copied from Nature can be relied upon, for Nature
makes no mistakes. * * * Walk through the parks
and you will find only an adoption of Nature's meth-
ods ; note how the landscape architect, by his skill
and art, has transformed the environment, and made
it possible for Nature to serve his purposes.

There are many useful books to be had, in which
the principles of landscape gardening are thoroughly
explained. It is the duty of every one of us to study
Nature, to observe carefully the work of good garden-
ers, and to read good books so that we may become
conscientious and well informed horticultural advisers
in our own immediate territories.

When a Little Knowledge is Harmful

There is too much highly colored foliage being of-
fered today, such as that of the Golden-leaved Elder,
the variegated Weigela and various red-leaved plants
that appeal to the eye of the novice who knows noth-
ing about the correct methods of plant grouping.
Most every community has its man who calls -himself
a landscape architect, landscape gardener or, least
excusable of all terms, a landscape artist, who is ab-
solutely ignorant of the most simple principles in
landscape gardening, and is getting by on a1 campaign
of pure blink. These are the men who plant a round
lied or make a star, anchor diamond, or some other
geometrical pattern in the center of a small lawn and
call it landscape gardening. The man who is familiar
with the finer points of landscape gardening knows
that gaudy foliage is taboo except in rare instances
where it can occasionally be used to advantage, and
that correct design in gardening consists in maintain-
ing broad open centers and massing the boundaries
and foundations. He also knows that geometrical
patterns can be used only in formal work and that
carpet bedding and scroll work are only intended to

show what can be done with plants and are as much
out of place on the average home grounds as a
tapestry in a log cabin.

Many of us are too careless in instructing our cus-
tomers regarding the method of preparing soil. Most
nurseries are located where there is deep and plenti-
ful loam. We all know that in most building opera-
tions contractors are very careless about back filling
around the foundation of the house with poor ma-
terial and that the lawn rarely receives a sufficient
amount of loam to maintain a luxuriant growth of
grass.

When we are passing the home of a customer and
see that he is engaged in building operations it is
well enough to stop and have a friendly chat with
him or write him a letter calling these matters to his
attention. If he takes the advice he will thank you
for it : if not, later on he will wish lie had.

Nurserymen Help The Landscape Artists

There is a separate and distinct field in which nur-
serymen may operate without conflicting with the in-
terests of the professional landscape architect. Many
people have an Idea that there is a vast competition
between the nursery interests and the professional
interests, but as a matter of fact the margin of con-
flict is very narrow. As the trolley lines are feeders
to and not competitors of the great railway systems
of the country, so are well organized landscape nur-
series feeders to the business of the professional
landscape architects.

The desire for attractive home grounds is con-
tagious. Give me a commission on half a dozen
houses in a new section, and I will guarantee that
the majority of homes in that vicinity will be de-
veloped within two years.

The nurserymen's field lies in serving the modest
home. As his customer becomes more prosperous he
moves into the suburbs and buys a larger estate.
Having already acquired a love for beautiful home
grounds he now. with ample means for development,
becomes a patron of the landscape architect.

I do not believ.e that the broad-minded professional
man fears any encroachment from the landscape nur-
serymen ; rather he looks upon him as a missionary
who is blazing the way. There are landscape archi-
tects and there are landscape "architectlets," the
latter rarely ever securing a commission of any size,
and being always ready to snatch a little job from the
nurseryman and to complain if the latter does a sin-
gle piece of planting. But this type of man is not
broad enough or well educated enough to go after a
big commission.

In this connection the point arises as to what the
nurseryman engaged in the landscape business shall
call himself. I do not believe that anyone not a grad-
uate of a reputable landscape school has a right to
call himself a landscape architect. Nurserymen may
call themselves "Landscape Gardeners" or "Landscape
Contractors" and under these two terms include all
the work which they are competent to handle.

The Broad Field for Good Landscape Gardening

A few of the larger nurseries throughout the coun-
try are employing graduate landscape men in their
business and doing a high grade of work. The field
for the well equipped nurseryman along this line is
unlimited, and one has only to travel around the
well developed nursery centers of the country to see
how the -home builder has welcomed and utilized this
service. Then, as you travel in the remoter districts,
you notice that practically nothing has been accom-
plished, that the well designed house, carefully
planned and well equipped, has had little done
towards the development of its grounds, although a
few choice shrubs which appeal to the owner may
have been bought and set either in straight rows or
planted promiscuously through the lawn.

A vast army of American home owners is only wait-
ing for well equipped nurserymen to produce a land-
scape service and show how the small home may be
developed along artistic and logical lines ; and it is
willing to spend a reasonable sum for attractive sur-
roundings.

Practical Methods of Serving the Customer

The problem before the nurserymen, today, is one
of presenting this service to the waiting buyer. After
a great deal of experimenting I am convinced that
the best method of getting a good landscape service
before the public is through good sales advertising
in the leading horticultural and local papers placed
to secure leads. This advertising must be well illus-
trated and carefully worded so as to attract atten-
tion, create desire for the service and lead to in-
quiries for further information. After you receive an
inquiry the possibility of an order depends upon how
it is treated. It should be followed up with a good
snappy catalog, full of sales talk and argument, one
which will show the customer how and where to use
plants. In addition, there must be broadsides on the
landscape department, showing what has been done

for others and describing in detail the methods by
which landscape problems are handled.

Correspondence must be handled quickly and accu-
rately ; all questions answered carefully and the cus-
tomer shown that the firm is on the job ready and
willing to serve him.

Any advertising campaign must be backed by an
organization that can deliver the goods. It is folly
to get out good advertising matter which brings re-
quests and then fall down either in correspondence,
personal calls or planting service. If we advertise
that we are well equipped to take care of landscape
propositions, we must be sure that we have enough
good, well trained men to take care of the business
as fast as it comes in.

It has often occurred to me that it might be well
for all engaged in high-class landscape work to form
an association, prepare a strict code of ethics and
adopt a name, such as. "Landscapers" for instance,
which might seem a little more applicable to our
special line. This name should lie registered and the
qualifications of all applicants thoroughly investi-
gated. Each member's work from time to time should
be examined carefully by a competent committee,
and it should be the duty of every individual in the
organization to see that the code of ethics is strictly
adhered to and that every member conducts his busi-
ness in a manner creditable to the organization.

A well organized planting department under ex-
pert supervision offers many advantages ; in the first
place it can greatly increase our sales.

Nursery Sales vs. Landscape Contracts

A well informed salesman calling on a customer
may sell him a $25 or even a $50 order, but a well-
trained landscape designer, who is prepared to draw
a snappy sketch and show his customer how and
where to use his plants will sell .$200 to $1000 worth
of plants with as little effort, and at the same time,
by his knowledge of landscape principles, increase
the value of the property by many times the cost of
the sale. The former, with haphazard methods of
making a sale, often perpetrates, unintentionally per-
haps, a rank injustice on his customer.

The landscape activity is an outlet for a great
amount of oversized stock, as many customers are
anxious for immediate results ; and when one is
equipped to transport and plant large material he
finds a ready market for it.

In designing the general outline of a planting
scheme, it often matters little which of a half-dozen
varieties of any one plant are used ; the designer with
a large stock at his command can make his lists con-
form more or less often to material at hand and at
the same time serve his customers' interests. It is the
general arrangement and not the individual plants
that count. A good landscape department is broaden-
ing and instructive, bringing us daily in contact
with a splendid type of people. It makes us study
and keep alert, for in order to sensibly answer the
questions asked we must continually refer to our
horticultural encyclopedias and other authorities, and
with this information at our command we soon breed
confidence in our community and are able to send the
bunk artist to the backwoods where he belongs.

Last, but not least, it gives us an opportunity to
become a powerful faction in the making of a more
beautiful and more fruitful America by the creating
of a healthy rivalry among individuals for better
home grounds and among communities for better civic
conditions.

F. H. B. Policies Defended Again

The final paper was Prof. R. Kent Beattie's (pa-
thologist in charge, Foreign Plant Quarantines, Fed-
eral Horticultural Board ) on "Protecting American
Nurserymen Against Foreign Plant Pests." Every
importation of plants, he said, brings with it the
danger of introducing new plant pests. When the
nurseryman imports foreign plants, he is the first
to take the risk. The pest reduces his output and
adds to his losses. Imported plant diseases and in-
sect pests are more likely to thrive, to establish them-
selves and to spread in places where their host plants
grow in abundant supply closely crowded together.
The rapid spread through the congested vineyard re-
gions of France of the Phylloxera, the downy mil-
dew and the black rot of the Grape, three major pests
imported into Europe from America ; the progress of
the White Pine blister rust through our Northeastern
States ; and the engulfing wave of the Chestnut bark
disease in our compact American Chestnut forest
area well illustrate this danger. For this same reason
a new pest introduced into a nursery is with difficulty
limited to a single plant or to a few plants. A *eil
organized nursery assembles, from all parts of the
world collections of related species of various, use-
ful and ornamental genera of plant. One of the
association members lists seven species of Spruce
(Picea) originally assembled from various parts of

86

The Florists' Exchange

the world; another lists nine species of true Firs
(Abies). The introduction of the foreign fungus or
insect attacking Spruces or Firs into such a collec-
tion of species multiplies the possibility of its de-
velopment into a major pest. The organism which
may have been relatively harmless and insignificant
in its native home, on its native host, may find in
such a collection a susceptible host and may rapidly
multiply.

The Chestnut bark disease is relatively harmless m
China on the Chinese Chestnut, but when the fungus
reached America it found the European and American
species very susceptible, its spread was rapid and the
loss will soon be complete. The American nursery
importing foreign plants becomes, therefore, a sort of
immigration station or detention hospital for the
imported plants. It is an Ellis Island for plants.
Unfortunately not all nurserymen appreciate the seri-
ousness of the plant pest problem, as illustrated by
statements frequently made in their correspondence
that this or that plant was never known to have a
disease or insect attacking it. Plant pathologists
and entomologists are still considered alarmists when
they seek to educate the people against plant destroy-
ing'pests. Disbelief and even vilification meet them
on every hand. After years of study and experience
American plant pathologists and entomologists have
come to recognize that this country is paying an
enormous tax to imported plant pests. The late blight
of the Potato reached the United States about 1S40
and loss from this disease in the year 1920 was about
43,257,000 bushels worth some $50,000,000. To the
direct losses from pests must be added the incalcul-
able cost of control measures. Many years of study
of the problem prior to the Plant Quarantine Act in
1912 and seven years' experience in an effort to keep
out foreign pests by the enactment of special quaran-
tines, convinced the country of the need for, and se-
cured the promulgation of, Quarantine 37. This quar-
antine has now been in effect three years. Its funda-
mental principle is that every importation of plants
presents a risk that must not be assumed unless the
need justifies it. Manifestly it is prudent on the part
of American nurserymen to make American horticul-
ture as independent as possible. To attain such an
end they can do three things: (1) They can produce
in America the supply of material of varieties of
European origin formerly brought in quantity from
Europe. (2) They can import under the best safe-
guards obtainable small quantities of new varieties
produced abroad and develop a sufficient American
supply. (3) They can expand their efforts to pro-
duce new varieties of plants and thus increase the
proportion of desirable varieties of American origin.
The nurserymen of America are responding nobly in
an effort to establish an American production which
will make unnecessary the risk of importation of
foreign pests.

The Baby Ramblers

This association is rapidly growing in importance.
For the first time in the history of nursery affairs it
is represented on the executive committee of the
parent body by one of its members, Wm. Flemer, Jr.,
of Princeton, N. J.

Its annual meeting was held at the Wolverine Hotel
on June 27 at 11 a.m., when the following officers
were elected: President, W. H. Mastin, Newark, N. Y. ;
vice-president, Robert Essig, Detroit, Mich. ; secre-
tary-treasurer, E. H. Bowden, Geneva, N. Y.

The organization is limited to 25 members, and the
resignation of five during the past year made room
for the following elections to membership: T. H.
Cobb, Chase Bros. Co., Rochester, N. Y. ; Ralph Per-
kins, Jackson & Perkins Co., Newark, N. T. ; Frank
R. Raigon, Rice Bros. Co., Rochester, N. Y. ; Don
Wyman, Bay State Nurseries, N. Abington, Mass. ;
and Jas. Ilginfritz, Munroe, Mich.

The Banquet

The customary Ramblers' banquet was, this year,
turned into a general get-together affair for the entire
national association and held on under the evening
of June 28.

Judging by what the Ramblers' committee had pro-
vided nothing was too good for the nurserymen. Fol-
lowing an excellent menu at the Detroit Athletic
Club, came a program of professional wit and song,
while in the short intervals the blatant horns and
rattlers of the guests made the night delightfully
hideous.

Edward J. Moon as toastmaster outdid himself. His
scintillating humor, excellent spirits, immeasurable
fun, contributed to an evening that will long be re-
membered.

Among the speakers — premeditated and otherwise
— were Piers Lovejoy, of journalistic fame; Paul
Lindley, Jim Parker, O. Joe Howard, Harlan P. Kel-
sey and a Pacific Coast representative in the person
of F. A. Wiggins, Tipponish, Wash.

Speaking on "Codes," Paul C. Lindley was brief,
but to the point, as follows :

When Chairman Paul Fortmiller, assigned me the
subject of Codes, he impressed upon me kindly, but
firmly, that the wit, humor and eloquence would be
furnished by other speakers. My job was to give a
short talk as to what part Codes play in any business,
and if I talk too long or mention Vigilance, he will
have one of the Ramblers sit on me.

Going back 2000 years before Christ and nearly
1000 years before Moses, we find a Babylonian King,
Hammurabi, whose people had codes even at that
time. They were all based on a fair, square deal —
an ox for an ox, and in the case of the loss of a
bushel of corn, double the amount should be restored.
The ancient Hebrews also had codes, the most fa-
miliar of course, being the Ten Commandments. The
legal profession has long had codes and the doctors,
too, have been helped by codes. So, gentlemen, Cali-
fornia and Illinois nurserymen have not started any-
thing new in their plan to codify their State nursery
association.

Codes do not compel people to have high ideals of
conduct, nor to live up to such ideals, but play their
all important part in informing the members of any
profession what are high ideals of conduct.

I would like to offer one code for the nursery game,
a nine word sentence from Dr. Frank Crane's editorial
on Clean Business, namely, ''What Is There in It for
the Other Fellow?"

That expresses all except for a word to our young
nurserymen, the Baby Ramblers :
"Be straight as a shingle,
Not a lazy bone in your body,
Live clean as a hound's tooth,
Tour word as good as your bond."

The A. N. N. Booster

Not least worthy of mention was the "Extra" edi-
tion of the A. A. N. Booster, loaded from cover to
cover with good fund and fellowship. Baby Ramblers
— congratulations !

Plant Propagators Meet

The annual meeting of the American Association of
Plant Propagators was held at Detroit, June 29, when
the following officers were elected: President, E. M.
Sherman, Charles City, la.; secretary-treasurer,
F. W. Van Oven, Naperville, 111. ; vice-president, J. A.
Young, Aurora, 111.

The new executive committee is as follows : E. M.
Jenkins, Winona, O. ; J. Cultra, Onarga, 111.; A. E.
Carr, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.; and Thos. W. McBeth, Ohio.

The Exhibits

A feature of the exhibits was a picture gallery ar-
ranged along the walls of the convention hall by
Isaac Hicks & Sons, Westbury, L. I. A score and
more of well executed water colors of different varie-
ties of hardy trees and shrubs made up the collection
and added a tone of color to the scenic effect of the
meeting.

Other exhibits included :

General Box Co., Chicago. Packing boxes.

Vincennes Nurseries, Vincennes, Ind. Peach trees.

Robert C. Young, Greensboro, N. C. Buxus suffruti-
cosa and B. semperflorens ; Vinca minor ; English Ivy ;
and Cedar stocks.

Bobbink & Atkins, Rutherford, N. J. Standard
Roses.

Hugh Stevens Co., Jefferson City, Mo. Catalogs.

McFarland Publicity Service, Harrisburg, Pa. Cata-
logs.

Benton Review Shop, Fowler, Ind. Catalogs.

A. B. Morse Co., St. Joseph, Mich. Catalogs.

Forester Suydiam. Catalogs.

A. T. De La Mare Co., New York City. Catalogs.

The New President

Paul C. Lindley, newly elected president of the
A. A. N., a practical nurseryman and florist, is mana-
ger and one of the owners of the J. Van Lindley Nur-
sery Co., Pomona, N. C, founded by his late father.
He also has real estate interests there.

For years he was foreman of the nursery. When
his father died, Paul had a falling out with O. Joe
Howard, then manager, and now in business for him-
self. As a result, Howard left and Paul had to take
over the reins for himself.

His chief work among nurserymen has been as
chairman of the vigilance committee. This year as a
result of his reports two individuals were expelled
and two firms reprimanded for careless or fraudu-
lent dealings. He has made membership in the na-
tional association a hall-mark of the square deal, and
is extremely popular in the trade.

Are We Fooling Ourselves

(Concluded from paffe 77)
were good judges of bobbed hair and all such things,
but who had not in the Summer times gone out in the
nursery and dug in the ground and learned something
about the nursery game. Instead of that, they played
golf during the slow season, or sat with their feet
popped up, growling about how hard they had worked
during the busy season. Therefore, he could not turn
to them either, because they were not practical.

He asked his wife about it that night. She was a
mighty good little woman ; she had wound grafts for
him the first Winter they were in business, and helped
him in many ways. It was about convention time
and she said, "Mr. Nurseryman, go to the convention,
because on the program they will have men to solve
your problems." He wanted his problem solved, so
he took her advice and went off to some hot city and
into the hotter convention hall.

He heard the speech of welcome; it was a very
good one — '"You are welcome as long as you pay $6
a day, etc." He heard the president's speech, and
that was absolutely all right, full of hope and cour-
age, just what he needed. Then it was announced that
Mr. So and So — a big man known all over the nation
(the fact being that he was not known outside of his
own block) — would talk, and Mr. Nurseryman settled
back expecting to hear something good, to really get
some help. A great big stout fellow came out on the
stage, he looked down on his audience, and began to
tell them what poor business men nurserymen were;
he told them that they were not recognized as busi-
ness men but as mere farmers and horticulturists
with no system in business. (He did not tell them
that twojthirds of the business institutions of the
United States are so burdened with system that they
are not declaring dividends. )

Mr. Nurseryman was saddened. It hurt him. He
had been brought up to respect the nursery business.
It was a religion to him. His father before him had
been a nurseryman, he wanted his boy to be a nur-
seryman.

The next man on the program was a professor, a
splendid little fellow, who told about bugs that had
existed in the United States for 40 years. He told
them about the bug that stung Moses and Cleopatra
and the one that Csesar had run up against — but he
did not tell how to get rid of them. He told them
about root knot, hut did not explain why some inspec-
tors throw out trees on account of it, while others
tell the nurseryman that it does no harm. He told
them a lot of stuff, but did not give any remedies, and
Mr. Nurseryman did not feel that he got anything out
of that.

Other speakers appeared but there was not a prac-
tical man on the program. Finally he heard sweet
music and there came on the platform a group of
men all dressed in white robes, carrying harps and
wearing crowns who said that the nurserymen had
been naughty, that they must do better, they must
be purified, sanctified and saved; and if they were
not, they were going to be lost. Mr. Nurseryman had
been brought up to think that the nursery business
was respectable; he had been a God-fearing man,
looked up to in his community. He thought the nur-
sery business was a good business and wanted his
boy to get into it. In fact, it would have broken his
heart if his boy had talked about following any
other business.

He went out of that room saddened for he felt
that he had wasted his time. None of his problems
had been solved ; not a blame thing had come up,
that had helped him a bit. They had not talked about
propagation, transportation or legislation, but mostly
they had just criticized nurserymen and their meth-
ods of doing business.

He started out the door determined to go home and
to give it up, but just outside he met one of the old
guard, a practical, level headed fellow that had been
brought up in the game, and had learned it from the
ground up. He had gathered around him a group
of other men who had been attending conventions for
years and now realized that it took just about so
much hot air and theory to keep the thing going. But
this group was of practical men, and they had found
out what the causes of his troubles were, so they
talked to him and they advised him. They told him
not to be discouraged because he had got poor stands
one year ; that in any line of business we have our
ups and downs. After this he went home with his
head up, proud that he was a nurseryman, glad to
greet his wife, tickled to death to come back, to go
out into the nursery and into his office and to take up
the reins of 'business once more.

Now, in conclusion, I have a few words for the
young men. I am not such an old man yet, but I can-
not class myself any more with them. I want to say
to you, young men, that I represent an institution
that has been in business 53 years ; and that we are
absolutely proud of the nursery business. We have
mingled with men in all lines of business and we

know nurserymen. There is no finer group of business
men, there are no cleaner and better men in any line
of work, so, you young men, don't you get discouraged
about this talk about nurserymen being a bad set.
There is nothing to it.

Did you ever pick up your morning paper and find
the whole front page calling attention to the crooked
deals of some nurserymen? You never did and you
never will. Is there a man here who knows of a nur-
seryman, a real nurseryman, that is in the peniten-
tiary? I do not. I have been in the largest commu-
nities of the United States and invariably the nur-
serymen were the most prominent men there. They
are leaders in the church, in educational matters, and
in everything that aims at the betterment of the
community. I say that honestly and earnestly.

I was born in the nursery business and I tell you
men, I am proud of it. I want my boy to be a nur-
seryman and follow me, the same as I followed my
father. Don't you young men be discouraged. We
have just scratched the surface in this great nursery
game. I only wish that I was 20 years younger. I
should like to be in the nursery business with you
young fellows in the years to come.

Why, gentlemen, there is a wonderful future for
you! Here is this vast Western empire that has
only just been touched. Hundreds of thousands of
homes with not a planting of ornamentals around
them, thousands and tens of thousands of farmers
going to town and buying their apples out of the
store. There is a wonderful opportunity, a grand
opportunity.

I realize that there will be years when the nursery
business will not be as good as it is now. We must
have our lean as well as our fat years and we need
the lean ones, gentlemen, to take the conceit out of
us, to teach us that while we think we are in the
champagne class, we really belong to the cider class.
We have good years ahead of us in the nursery busi-
ness. Some items are going to be plentiful and cheap,
we know that, but things in general look awfully
good to me. I never had as much hope and enthu-
siasm and courage as I have now.

Nurserymen have been making money, the nursery
business is prosperous and while we all have our
ups and downs, young men, the nursery business is a
very good one to follow. Step in, and whenever you
hear a man condemning your business, have the
backbone, the snap, and the manhood to stand up and
defend it. If the business was good enough for your
old dad and your mother to slave in years, so that
you might succeed, and go ahead with the business
already built up, for God's sake, stand up for it. It
is a grand and glorious business, and there never was
a time that I was as proud to be in it as I am today.

National Flower Growers Association

(St. Louis District)

The officials have prepared a program for the
Midsummer meeting of this District, scheduled to
take place at the Harper House, Rock Island, 111.,
July 17 and IS, 1922. The St. Louis district is one
of the most progressive of the N. F. G. A. and the
program notes some active sessions for the two days
allotted to the meeting, the first of which is sched-
uled to take place at 2 p.m., preceded at 11 a.m. by
meetings of a number of the working committees. On
July 18 at 8 a.m. there will be a meeting and con-
ference of the Florists Telegraph Delivery, which is
to be addressed by J. F. Ammann, field manager, at
the close of which the delegates will be in the hands
of the entertainment committee of the Tri-City Flo-
rists Club.

New Primula Malacoides American Legion

This new giant flowering Baby Primrose shows a
great advance in this useful and desirable class of
Primula. The habit of the plant is strong and
sturdy, producing in profusion robust spikes of large
clear rose flowers with very large, deep golden cen-
ters, making a beautiful and striking combination
of pink and yellow.

This novelty is so unlike the old form of Primula
malacoides, that one would scarcely recognize it as
the Baby Primrose. It will undoubtedly gain favor
as soon as disseminated.

It arose as an odd plant in a mixed lot of P. mala-
coides in 1921. Seed saved from the plant produced,
this year, a number of a similar type, the large flow-
ers and pink and yellow coloring being exceedingly
striking in the mass. I believe it will prove of great
value as a cut flower, and because of its merit it
has been named American Legion.

"They Have Asked for Bread and — "

In The Exchange of June 10 we quoted from a
remarkable editorial published in the National Nur-
seryman, which included the statement that "it mat-
ters not if the quarantine is an economic measure
disguised as a protective measure ; it is an accom-
plished fact and those who resented the measure for
its supposedly false intent are outnumbered by those
who believe in its benefits."

We were at first inclined to pass this over as an
isolated opinion carelessly expressed without due
and serious consideration. But, in view of what has
taken place since May 15, we are gradually being
forced to conclude that something very like this
attitude' is shared — tacitly if not avowedly — by the
Department of Agriculture itself. Even the letter
from Mr. Wallace, published last week, while ap-
parently suggestive of better times, becomes upon
analysis quite indefinite and non-committal. "The con-
ference," it says, "undoubtedly will result in our
taking all possible steps to modify existing regula-
tions wherever they have proved to be unnecessarily
burdensome, and wherever such changes can be made
for the benefit of the horticultural industry without
increasing the rush of introducing plant pests."

But who is to determine what steps are possible,
and on what basis? If the arbiter is the F. H. B.
and if its policies are to be the gauge, who can hope
for real relief? That no repudiation of the economic
protective principle is contemplated by the depart-
ment is indicated by the very first modification it
proposes, to wit, to permit the entrance without re-
striction for a period of three to five years of certain
additional kinds of bulbs "which are not now being
adequately produced in this country."

This proposal is made in the following letter from
the E. H. B. dated May 20, 1922 and sent apparently
to all who may be engaged in growing bulb stock for
propagation purposes :

United States Department of Agriculture,

Federal Horticultural Board,

Washington, D. C,

May 20, 1922.
Dear Sir:

The Federal Horticultural Board and Department
have been willing from the beginning, as announced at
various times, to consider constructive suggestions
relative to the bulb item under Regulation 3, and one
■of the outcomes of the conference was an arrangement
for a later conference with bulb importers and bulb
users to determine what additions, if any, were justified
to the existing list of bulbs in Reg. 3, and also for a
consideration of the status of the bulbs already in-
cluded in this list. Preliminary to such conference,
it seemed desirable to get some definite information
concerning certain classes of bulbs from persons who
the Board and Department have reason to believe are
interested in the shipment as bulb producers.

The information in the possession of the Depart-
ment would seem to indicate that the tuberous-rooted
Begonias and Gloxinias are not being produced in this
country in adequate quantities and probably will not
be so produced in the near future.

Similar representation has been made with respect
to Muscari (Grape Hyacinth), Scilla (Squills), Chiono-
doxa (Glory of the Snow), Galanthus (Snowdrop), and
Eranthis (Winter Aconite).

It has been suggested that the Department should
open to importation in unlimited quantities under the
conditions of Reg. 3 of Qu. 37 the seven kinds of bulbs
and tubers mentioned for a limited period of time, pos-
sibly three to five years, during which time American
growers could prepare to meet the demand for this
material. The Department would like to have your
point of view relative to such action with respect to
any or all of the classes of bulbs enumerated. In mak-
ing this or any other changes, the Department wishes
to take into full consideration the steps that have al-
ready been taken by various American growers to make
any of these bulbs or tubers available by American
production.

You've Got to Understand that Clock

A good story is told about the late Zebulon B. Vance,
who was senator from North Carolina, and who, it is
said, possessed a genius for repartee on the floor of
the Senate which often discomfited his Republican op-
ponents by arousing gales of laughter at their ex-
pense among his associates and in the galleries. Vance
knew nothing about the scientific aspects of tariffs,
but he once worsted Senator N. W. Aldrich of Rhode
Island in a tariff debate. Aldrich was a master of
his subject, and a tariff controversy being in progress,
Senator Vance valiantly undertook to dispute an argu-
ment made by Senator Aldrich. In disputing it he got
the whole thing twisted. Aldrich lost no time in re-
turning to the fray, quoting intricate figures, expatiat-
ing on narrow technicalities, calling attention to the
North Carolinian's ignorance, ridiculing his errors and
generally making him appear silly, winding up with,
"Now, I hope the gentleman from North Carolina un-
derstands it."

Vance arose. "I am reminded," he said, "of an old
colored friend of mine, Ephraim by name. Not long ago
I went to call on Ephraim in his log cabin, and I
noticed on his table a strangely dilapidated clock. I
asked Ephraim what sort of a clock it was. 'Mr. Zeb,'
he replied, 'dat clock is a moss' peculiah clock, but it's
all right ef you jes understan' it. You've got to un-
derstan' dat clock. Ef de long nan' p'ints at 3 an' de
short nan' p'ints at 9, it means half pas' 6 o'clock
But you've got to understan' dat clock.' So it is with
the tariff dissertation of the gentleman from Rhode
Island. You've just got to understand it."

When the laughter had subsided Aldrich bad been
put out of the running for that day.

Will you please inform us as to any action which
may have been taken by you looking toward the Ameri-
can production of any of this material?

Were you propagating any of these plants before
Qu. 37 became effective on June 1, 1919. If so, what
kinds and in what quantities?

What varieties are you now growing and what
quantities do you have?

How rapid multiplication are you securing?
Have you any other information which the Board
should consider in connection with this proposal?
This inquiry is merely preliminary to the conference
on the subject referred to above, which the Board hopes
to hold early in October at a date to be definitely an-
nounced later, in which all bulb importers and growers
will be given an opportunity to participate. Further-
more, the items herein enumerated do not indicate any
limitation on the consideration of other bulbs.

The Board will be glad to receive from you the names
and addresses of any other American bulb growers
who can furnish information on this subject.
A prompt reply will be greatly appreciated.
Very truly yours,
C. L. MARLATT, Chairman of Board.

Wherein does this questionnaire touch, in any re-
spect, the question of the possible introduction of
plant pests on the bulbs discussed?

Wherefore, if the six additional sorts can be ad-
mitted, shut out certain Amaryllis varieties, and
other bulbs. And, fundamentally, why give to grow-
ers who are producing plants in appreciable quanti-
ties, a purely economic protection, and withhold it
from a grower trying to produce stock that is not yet
available here in commercial quantities?

Is such activity, on the part of an administrative
bureau, department or official, conducive to the "bene-
fit of the horticultural industry?"

In connection with the above questionnaire there
has been brought to our attention the reply of Dr.
C. Stuart Gager, Director of the Brooklyn Botanic
Garden. While not a trade expression, his argument
is so clear and forceful, and strikes so directly at the
basic principles upon which the present regulations
are reared, that we commend it to every reader who
has at any time written, spoken or thought about
Qu. 37. The question, as we see it and as Dr. Gager
points out, is more serious than that of minor modifi-
cations; it involves such matters as sincerity, right
and wrong, and justice in connection with Govern-
mental control.

June 5, 1922.
Federal Horticultural Board,

Washington, D. C.
Dear Sirs:

I have your circular letter of May 20, 1922. * * •

You state that the Department would like to have
our point of view relative to such action with respect
to any or all of the classes of bulbs enumerated.

Your letter also states that the proposed action of
the Department would be the outgrowth of informa-
tion to the effect that these bulbs, and also the tuber-
ous rooted Begonias and Gloxinias, are not being pro-
duced in this country in adequate quantities, and prob-
ably will not be so produced in the near future.

From these statements it seems to be implied that
Qu. 37 is being administered, or that it is proposed
to administer it as a means of reducing or completely
stopping foreign importations of plants, the further
inference, of course, being that this is for the purpose
of encouraging the development of American horticul-
ture along certain lines and insuring a market for
home grown material.

If this deduction and inference are correct, I believe
that the matter should have most serious considera-
tion, not only by the Department of Agriculture, but
also by the Department of State, before any such ac-
tion is attempted. It seems to me that such action
would be certain to involve the United States in serious
and far reaching difficulties with foreign governments
in the matter of reciprocal courtesies as to imports
and exports, and that the situation would not be con-
fined to plants but would in all likelihood affect in a
far-reaching manner the whole question of our inter-
national commerce.

Neither the undersigned personally nor the Brooklyn
Botanic Garden would be inclined to look favorably
upon any such interpretation or administration of
Qu. 37. It is our understanding that this quarantine
was for the sole purpose of endeavoring to exclude
from the United States, plant diseases that might tend
to become a serious menace to American horticulture.

If there is any reason, from the standpoint of plant
diseases, why the above-mentioned bulbous plants
should be excluded at all, justification for excluding
them would in all likelihood have passed after they
had been granted "admission in unlimited quantities"
for a period of "possibly three or five years."

In response to your further question, may I state
that the Brooklyn Botanic Garden is only growing
sufficient of any species or variety to serve as an ex-
hibition, and is not engaged in propagating in quan-
tity, except to meet its own immediate needs.

Qu. 37 has now been in force for a sufficient length
of time for certain information to have been accumu-
lated as to what plant diseases have been intercepted
in such material as has been submitted for entry at
our ports, and either passed or rejected, and it would
be a matter of considerable interest scientifically and
otherwise if those of us who are interested in the im-
portation of plants could be informed as to what dis-
eases— new or rare in the United States — have been
intercepted on such material; in fact, It would seem
to the undersigned that scientific institutions, such as
botanic gardens, and agricultural colleges, and experi-
ment stations, as well as commercial growers, are en-
titled to have this information. Possibly it has already
been published by the Department of Agriculture; if so,
we would be pleased to have a citation or a copy of
the publication containing such information.
Yours .sincerely,
(Signed) C. STUART GAGER, Director.

The Florists' Exchange

Week at the Capital

By CLARENCE L. LINZ

rml \mm ^ i» i "il i1 ■ i ~i i i T i i i iTTl

More Business But Higher Prices

"Continued and noteworthy increase in
the physical volume of production" and a
continued advance in prices were the out-
standing features of economic develop-
ment during June, acording to the month-
review of business and financial condi-
tions throughout the country just issued
by the Federal Reserve Board.

Reports from 452 department stores
throughout the country indicate an in-
crease of eight-tenths of one per cent in
sales over a year ago. The increase of
15.5 per cent in the San Francisco district
■over sales for last May is held by the
ibaamU to be particularly encouraging,
■while the largest decrease amounts to
;only 7.2 per cent for the Atlanta district.
The stocks on hand at the end of May
were about the same as in 1921.

House Votes for Mileage Tickets

The House of Representatives, on June
29, passed the bill directing the Interstate
Commerce Commission to require all rail-
roads to issue interchangeable mileage
books or scrip coupons, in such denomina-
tions and at such rates of fare as the
commission may deem proper.

The bill, which was passed by the
Senate some months ago, originally called
ior the issuance of mileage books only,
but the House also included as an al-
ternative coupon tickets which call for
transportation for the distance covered by
the amount thereof, each coupon having
.a specific cash value.

Members speaking in favor of the meas-
ure, declared that it would give commer-
'.cial travelers a ticket good on practically
every road in the country and at a rate
which would induce business organiza-
tions to send out their normal number of
men and cover the same territory as they
used to.

As the measure as passed contains a
number of amendments it 'will now have
to go to conference.

To Curb Bankruptcy Frauds

All bankruptcy laws now oh .the Fed-
eral statute books would be repealed un-
der the terms of a bill introduced by
Senator Myers of Montana. "Business
adventurers" are taking advantage of the
law to defraud other business men, de-
clared the Senator, stating that the exist-
ing law was well intended and well ap-
plied when first enacted, and helped some
honest business men to get rid of unfor-

■ tunate debts and start anew; but now, he
asserts, the law is being used by unscrupu-
lous adventurers to defraud other busi-
ness men. They plunge into debt and
when their venture fails they take ad-
vantage of the bankruptcy act to evade
payment of their just debts. In view' of
the pressure of work now before the
Senate, it is unlikely that anything will
be done on the measure during the present
session.

To Further Cut Down Immigration

Further restriction of immigration is
sought by Rep. Johnson of Washington
in a bill which would limit the number of
immigrants admitted to the United States
after June 30, 1923, to 600, and two per
cent of the population in this country of
aliens of similar nationality. The pres-
ent law provides for the entrance of
three per cent of the present alien popu-
lation, and also provides for admission of
certain excepted classes, with no limit
specified. It also provides that 50 per
cent of all aliens coming into the United
States shall take passage in American
ships.

Rep. Fordney's Probable Successor

The outstanding event of interest in
Washington last week was the announce-
ment of Rep. Joseph W. Fordney of
. Michigan that he would not be a candi-
date for re-election this Fall. His retire-

■ ment will probably result in Rep. William
R. Green of Iowa becoming chairman of

' the Ways and Means Committee. Mr.
. Greene, although representing a farming
, district, is not allied with the House
• agricultural bloc; at the same time he is
in sympathy with the farm movement.
In the matter of tariff he is a conserva-
tive protectionist, and is -not in sympathy

with some of the very high rates for
which Chairman Fordney has consistently
fought. Mr. Greene believes in protec-
tion for American industries where pro-
tection is needed, but does not appear to
be in favor of imposing rates that will
bar all imports.

Postal Rate Reduction Delayed

No action will be taken this session on
the bill introduced by Rep. Kelly of
Pennsylvania to reduce postal rates on
second class matter. Mr. Kelly last week
explained his measure and the benefit
which he felt would follow from its adop-
tion to the House Committee on Post
Office and Post Roads, but the latter was
of the opinion that it would be impossible
to secure any action on the measure right
away, and that it would be better to post-
pone the whole subject until Congress re-
convenes in December.

No Wage Reduction Here

There will be no reduction in the mini-
mum wage for women and girls in mercan-
tile industries in the District of Columbia
at the present time. Washington mer-
chants some time ago petitioned the Mini-
mum Wage Board to reduce that for
women and girls employed in stores from
$16.50 to $15.25 a week, but representa-
tives of the employees protested. A gen-
eral meeting was held at which the em-
ployers, the employees, the public and the
board were represented, the result being
a vote of seven to four to retain the pres-
ent standard.

$150,000 to Fight Citrus Pest

The Department of Agriculture is given
an appropriation of $150,000 for investi-
gations of citrus canker and its eradica-
tion and control, under the terms of a de-
ficiency appropriation bill just passed by
Congress. The measure provides that the
work shall be done in cooperation with
the authorities of the States concerned,
organizations of growers or individuals
interested, and that no expenditures shall
be made for these purposes until a sum
or sums at least equal to such expendi-
tures shall have been appropriated, sub-
scribed or contributed by the State au-
thorities, organizations or individuals who
will benefit by the work; no part of the
money is to be used to pay for trees or
other property destroyed or injured.

The department is also given $5000 for
the investigation, improvement, encour-
agement and determination of the adapta-
bility to different soils and climatic con-
ditions of nuts.

New Orleans, La.

The Market

July 1. — The market during the
past week has been quiet, although not
sluggish. Florists as yet are not com-
plaining about the setting in of the dull
Summer season. A final sprinkling of
June weddings, particularly from out of
town, are doing something toward keep-
ing the local business above the w-ater
line, as these are practically the only
social affairs taking place here now. The
bulk of the business, and perhaps the
lifesaver, was due to the extra large
number of funerals which took place
during the week. Several very promi-
nent men passed away during this time
and large orders were placed for floral
wreaths.

Flowers during the week were in
abundance, much locally grown stock
now finding its way into the different
shops. Continued showers during the
afternoons did much toward keeping the
quality of these to a high point. Tube-
roses and Radiance Roses are the prin-
cipal home-grown products which meet
with ready sale and some fine hardy
specimens of both were noted. Not so
much stock is spoiled on the market,
dealers report, in spite of the plentiful
supply.

Roses still continue to dominate the
buying and with the Peonies furnish the
bulk of the cut trade. Much trouble is
being experienced with the supply com-
ing in from Chicago which, due to the
hot weather, are arriving open. There
are, however, some fine blooms of Pre-
mier which are retailing for $7 per doz.,
while Russell, Killarney and Ophelia,
with long stems, bring from $5 to $6.
The home grown Radiance Roses bring
from $2 to $2.50 per doz., and are far
more in demand than the higher priced
blooms. A large call for white Roses

was noticable to some of the florists
during the week.

The Carnation shipments from Chi-
cago are unusually good for so late in
the year and some excellent flowers are
finding their way into the city. The
stems have a tendency to be short, how-
ver, and most florists report that they
are hard to keep. The white in particu-
lar has been reported to be good only for
funeral work after the first day. The
call for these flowers is fine; dark pink
is most in demand, and brings $250 per
doz.

The first Asters of the season have
made their appearance and choice blooms
will arrive arouud the 15th. Those on
sale now are all locally grown, no out-
side stock having been shipped in yet.
These are of pretty fair size, and of
good, lasting quality. They come in all
colors, the lavender or purple being the
best and bring from $2 to $2.50 per
doz. They sell well and are being used
extensively in funeral work.

Tuberoses are handled by practically
all of the stores now. They are home
grown and of choice quality and are
used a great deal for funeral designs.
Natural Statiee also finds its way into
many designs or is sold for home use.
It retails at $1.50 a bunch. Snapdragon
is about the only outdoor flower that is
still in the running and brings $2.50 per
doz. Zinnias are plentiful, but are used
only in funeral wreaths. Gladioli are
holding their own. and are selling in
fancy varieties at $3 per doz. They are
used for all purposes and as the supply
is not large, they are practically cleaned
out each day. Orchids are selling for $3
each, but last week there was no de-
mand for them, at any price.

Trade Notes

I". J. Virgin left Friday for Bi-
loxi, Miss., where he will join Mrs. Vir-
gin who preceded him. to spend a week
at their Summer home there. Mr. Vir-
gin quite often during the Summer,
makes little trips to this seaport where
he takes a short rest and comes back
full of renewed energy and ready for an-
other week's hard work.

Frank Reyer & Co. entertained their
employees and their families at Ridge-
wTay Cottage in West End last Friday
with an annual outing and picnic. The
store was closed during the day, except
a short time in the morning when some
special orders were gotten out. This did
not interfere with the outing in any
way. Two touring cars and the delivery
trucks of the concern were made into
conveyances to carry the picnic party
to the lake, where most of them donned
bathing costumes and ' plunged in. A
phonograph was taken along to furnish
some music and dancing was indulged in
during the afternoon. The affair was
unanimously voted a grand success, and
everyone is looking forward to the next
affair of similar nature with much pleas-
ure.

Research Bureau Established

The ground was broken today for
a new building at Magazine and Eighth
St., which will house a Bureau for Bio-
logical Research recently started in New
Orleans. The city has indeed been for-
tunate in having the Federal Govern-
ment select this location for the bureau.
Herbert L. Dozier. Federal expert, has
been sent here from Washington, D. C.,
to carry on the work. This research bu-
reau will be of great benefit to the En-
tomological Division in assisting them in
their duties. C. J. McD.

Louisville, Ky.

Business with Louisville florists is about
the same as it has been for several weeks.
It has been rather quiet, as is usual dur-
ing the Summer months, but there has
been enough work to give all hands some-
thing to do. There have been three par-
ticularly large weddings during the past
week, which contributed much to help
business along. Two very heavy rains
this week did no damage, on the contra-
ry, helped stock considerably. A recent
storm in Lexington did considerable dam-
age, not only to florists, but to all kinds
of property.

Hot weather has set in for fair in this
section during the past two or three days.
Louis Kirch said he was out cutting
flowers at 6 o'clock in the morning with
the thermometer at 82 in the shade.

The Bar Against Flowers

Louisville florists are considerably
agitated over the alarming growth in re-
cent months of the practice of "Omit all
Flowers." There has been some of this
going on for two years or more, but just
lately it has come to a more acute stage.
It can accurately be called a general prac-
tice.

While the practice has been going on,
florists have always been able to figure
on a certain class of persons who do not
take such notices seriously and who
send flowers as usual; this has been the
customary thing. But recently those in
whose favor the orders are made, have
begun to refuse to accept the flowers
when delivered. This in itself was alarm-
ing enough, but more recently, on several
occasions, these persons have called indi-
vidual florists and informed them not to
accept any orders to be delivered to them,
or, in cases where the orders have already
been filed, they have informed the florists
not to fill them.

The increase in this practice may have
found its basis in the public announcement
of the Girls' High School at Commence-
ment time, when it declared that no
flowers could be received by the girl grad-
uates at the public ceremonies. Earlier
in the Spring, too, at the dancing exhibi-
tions, flowers were barred. The public ac-
tions have probably influenced private
individuals in their attitude with regard
to flowers and the florists.

Not only is there the loss of business
involved, but in cases where special stock
is ordered to fill a certain order and the
person in whose favor the order is made
refuses to accept it, there is the actual
loss of the stock that cannot be used for
other purposes. In the majority of cases,
this special stock is a dead loss. At pres-
ent there seems to be no general idea of
what action florists can take that will
prove effective, though it is assured that
some action will be taken. It is prob-
able that the whole matter will be taken
up at an early meeting of the Kentucky
Society of Florists and analyzed so that
effective measures may be devised to meet
the situation.

Florists Society Doings

The annual picnic and all day out-
ing of the Kentucky Society of Florists
will be held at Glenwood Park, New Al-
bany, Aug. 10, according to Secretary Joe
Able. The program committee in charge
of arrangements for the affair consists of
Miss Nell Able, of C. B. Thompson Co.,
chairman; Miss Edith Walker of Edith
Walker and Brothers, George Nance of
New Albany, and _ Herman Kleinstarink,
Jr. A fulE day's program of games
and contests will be arranged. There will
be a baseball game, boating, swimming,
fishing. Prizes will be offered in most
of the events. In the evening, there will
be dancing at the Glenwood pavilion. The
next meeting is July 12; place of meet-
ing and matters to be taken up have not
been announced.

August R. Baiimer is in Kansas City
attending the International Convention of
Optimists' Club. He accompanied Louis-
ville Optimists to St. Louis, where they
took a special train, with other members
for Kansas City.

Edith Walker and Brothers had good
results from their recent pottery sale.
The pottery was offered at one-third off.

Miss Grace Able, sister to Joe, and
Miss Nell Able of the C. B. Thompson
Co., was married recently to Louis A.
Tarpley, formerly of Chicago, but now
of Louisville. They met while Mr. Tar-
pley was stationed at Camp Taylor.

Louisville florists are cooperating with
the city board of public safety in its ef-
fort to reduce the number of automobile
accidents. The board has under way a
plan for the licensing of all chauffeurs
after they have passed an examination to
determine their fitness to drive automo-
bile trucks. A chauffeur's school will also
be established, a certificate of proficiency
from which will entitle the holder to a
license. It is understood that an agree-
ment will be arrived at through the vari-
ous merchants' associations whereby no
chauffeur without a license will be em-
ployed.

Prizes have been awarded to the win-
ners in the June flower show of the Lib-
erty Insurance Bank. The bank gives up
its large lobby to a flower show for
amateur growers once a month during
the ■ Spring and Summer.

Trade Conditions

Business during the month of June
just passed was reported upon by a num-
ber of local florists as being exceptional-
ly good. Generally, there has been a
shortage of desirable stock, partieularly
of Koses, because the growers are clean-
ing house. All of the Roses that come
into the market are picked up quickly,
for there has been a large amount of
wedding work. The first of the month
was something of a disappointment to all
branches of the trade. There were plenty
of flowers then to be had but the pros-
pective brides had fixed days later on in
the month in which to get married and
when they walked up the aisle toward the
altar it was when Roses were scarce and
prices somewhat higher.

Most of the big weddings, and the small
ones for that matter, occurred toward the
latter part of the month. At that time,
Carnations, which the producers were
almost ashamed to look at, they were so
small, brought S3 and $4 per 100 and the
retailers were glad to get them at that
price. Russell Roses brought as high as
$35 per 100, what few really good ones
there were. There was even a shortage of
Easter Lilies, and the price hovered
around $20, although a few weeks before
they went begging at $8 per 100.

Everything that was in bloom was
brought into the wholesale houses, and
right out again to the retailers' stores.
They needed them, and what was lacking
in quantity was made up for in price, al-
though prices did not soar as high as
might have been expected.

News Notes

An idea of the extent of the fllo-
rist business in Washington during the
month of June can be obtained from the
report from the marriage license clerk
which shows that there were 718 marriage
licenses issued in the 26 business days.
This number is slightly behind that of
the two preceding years, 749 licenses hav-
ing been issued in June 1921, and 800
licenses in June 1920, the peak year, but
taking it all in all, this is not so bad
for a city with a population of some-
where around 400,000.

Washington florists will save consider-
able as a result of the cut in freight rates
which went into effect on July 1. It has
been estimated that in all $440,000,000
annually will be lopped off the transpor-
tation bill of the United States. For one
thing it means an average reduction of
about 27c. per ton on the' freight charges
for every ton hauled in the United
States. That in itself is quite an item
to the florists. This latest reduction in
general freight rates amounts to between
10 and 12 per cent.

A great relief has. come to the florists
of Washington. For years past men and
women of this city who have a "penchant
for exchanging worthless cheques for good
merchandise or cash, have found the flo-
rist trade an easy one to work. One local
florist is said to have enough bad cheques,
worthless pieces of paper which the banks
of Washington have declined to honor,
to cover one side of his store. All kinds
of tricks have been played to part the
florists from their money, from the wail
of the colored woman who said her baby
was dead and she wanted a $2 floral
wreath to put on its casket, offering a
cheque, ostensibly given her by her em-
ployers and amounting to, say $15, re-
ceiving the difference in cash, to the well-
dressed man or woman who left their
pocketbook on the piano and is in need
of ready cash. "Will the kind florist ,
please cash my cheque?" and the florist,
fearing to lose a customer, has invariably
done so. Congress now has passed a law
making it a serious proposition for any-
one to offer worthless paper under any
conditions in the District of Columbia.

A. Gude Sons Co. will soon open a new
supplies department on the second floor i
of the store at 1318 Eye st., Northeast,
according to an announcement made by

Adolph E. Gude, manager of the store,
upon his return from a buying trip to
New York last week. Mr. Gude states
that he has purchased a line of high grade
ribbons, pottery, baskets and other mer-
chandise used in retail florist stores and
is making a place for their display on
the second floor of the Gude Building. He
states that the front of this floor will be
occupied as now by the office. The center
section will be devoted to ribbons and
small wares, while the pottery and bas-
kets will be placed at the back where they
will have plenty of room for storage and
display.

Mr. and Mrs. M. J. McCabe are plan-
ning a trip to New York for next week.
They are planning to go over the road
in their new Chandler automobile.

The Market

July 3. — The coming July lull was
very noticeable last week, and yet busi-
ness was not what you might call bad.
More or less funeral work helped to use
the offerings, and there was not much of
a surplus at the end of the week. 'Twas
well, because the street merchants were
off flowers for the few days preceding the
Fourth and on to fireworks for a change.

Gladioli are the coming flowers for the
next few weeks and the locally grown
stock was never finer, or in greater quan-
tity. Roses are small and poor — small
flowers on big stems, so to speak. There
are still a few Carnations coming in but
the quality is poor.

Giganteum Lilies are more in demand
as the all around seasonable funeral flow-
er, and the local supply is fair. There
were some big out of town arrivals last
week.

Valley must be expressed in from out-
side growers as our local stock is finished
for the present.

Two or three shipments of Water Lilies
are arriving each week, and the flowers
are beautiful.

Some field Snapdragons are noticed
about, and bunches of Achillea, The Pearl,
sell well. Hollyhocks, late cut of Del-
phinium and some other perennials are
still on the market.

There is almost an unmanageable lot
of Southern Asparagus sprays arriving.
It amounts to almost a glut of this green.

News Notes

A hurry up order — fast, artistic
flower work and quick delivery service —
with "Gettysburg 14 miles away." I call
it "Executive ability." Frank E. Crerner
of Hanover, Pa., received the order for
the decorations during the Encampment
of the U. S. Marines on Gettysburg Bat-
tlefield, July 1, 2 and 3, dramatizing the
great Pickett's charge, in honor of the
visit of President Harding, Secretary of
War, General Pershing and many other
notables to view the interpretation of the
great fight. Mr. Cremer did not receive
the command until 3 p.m. and the wrork
was to be finished and in place by 6 p.m.
President Harding's quarters, the canvas
White House (erected by the Marines),
General Pershing's field headquarters,
and the large dining tent for the presi-
dential pai'ty, was to be transferred into
a bower of flowers and foliage at once.
Many truekloads of flowers and foliage
plants were rushed to the field and Mr.
Cremer's complete force of workers was
on the job. Huge baskets of Columbia
and American Legion Roses, Carnations,
Gladioli and great quantities of hardy
perennial flowers and foliage were han-
dled and put in place, while outside the
guns were roaring according to specifica-
tions.

The Summer meeting of the Maryland
State Horticultural Society will be held
at Easton and Berlin, Md., on July 13
and 14, and the printed program sent out
by Prof. S. B. Shaw reads: "Members
and friends from the Eastern and West-
ern shores will arrange to arrive at
Easton by 3 o'clock on the afternoon of
the 13th. Orchards in the immediate vi-
cinity will be visited that afternoon. In
the evening the guests will be entertained
by the Talbot County Farmers Federa-
tion, the Rotary Club and Men's Com-
munity Club. On Friday an early start
will be made for Berlin, visiting orchards
at Preston, Hurlock and Salisbury en
route, arriving at Berlin about 12.30 in
time for luncheon at the Harrison Nur-

series, where the meetings will be held.
All members of the Florists Club of Bal-
timore have been mailed an invitation and
urged to bring as many friends as pos-
sible. The sightseeing trips through the
renowned orchard districts of Eastern
Maryland, the meetings of the Peninsular
Horticultural Society and the Maryland
Forestry Association will be held in con-
junction with the Maryland State Horti-
cultural Society. To all this is added the
well known hospitality of the Harrison's
and the Eastern Shore folks, and will af-
ford an opportunity seldom offered to
the members of our club. President Mer-
ritt urges every member to be present at
the next meeting of the club, July 10,
when a committee will be appointed and a
meeting place be designated for early
Thursday morning start. We learn that
many members have already signified
their intention of making the pilgrimage
and stop over a day or two at Ocean City
after the meetings.

Mrs. Scott, formerly of the Leo Nies-
sen Co., Baltimore branch, will be -with
the S. S. Pennock Co. after Monday next.

W. E. Milburn of Bengies, Md., has
started to market his big crop of outdoor
Gladiolus flowers. The stock is especially
fine this year.

John J. is the awful proud and happy
grandpa. Mr. and Mrs. J. Ward Perry
are receiving congratulations. A great
big handsome boy.

Fred C. Bauer has just purchased a
new six cylinder Buick for Mrs. Bauer
and it is a beauty. Willie says they are
all going down to Berlin next week to at-
tend the big meeting.

Tom Vincent and Willie Ekas had a run
up to visit Conard & Jones at West
Grove on Thursday and came home with
glowing accounts of a wonderful new
pink Canna that will probably be intro-
duced next year.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Graham and
Mr. and Mrs. Robert L., Jr., motored to
Atlantic City last week, stopping at Col-
lingswood, N. J., to visit relatives for a
day or two.

Joe Merritt has two acres of Gladioli
planted to cut from this season. R. H.

The Market

While the demand last week used
up all the available supply of good stock,
still the market shows evidence of hav-
ing entered the usual mid-Summer dull-
ness and for some time now it will re-
main that wray with an occasional spurt
for funeral work. Last Summer and Fall
the business was good, due to the return
of' the bodies of the boys who died in
Europe during the World War, but this
year there will be nothing of that kind
and we will find it hard to equal last
Summer's total volume.

The supply of Roses has shortened up
considerably, but the quality is very
good with the exception of those shipped
from a distance; they arrive in an open
condition due to the extreme heat.

Some good Carnations are still to be
seen, but the most of them are showing
the effect of the warm weather and should
be discarded. Lilies are in demand, but
the supply is limited, with the result that
they are bringing fairly high prices. The
supply of Gladioli is increasing daily,
with some first class stock to be had.
Prices run anywhere from $6 to $10 per
100, according to variety and quality.
Delphinium is still moving freely, but the
supply is top heavy and some has gone
to loss.

Outdoor Sweet Peas are arriving in
quantity, but the quality is poor due to
heavy rains we have been having. Garden
flowers, such as Gaillardia, Coreopsis,
Larkspur, Achillea, Baby's Breath and
Foxglove are seen in quantity, but move
out slowly.

From all reports from the retail and
wholesale houses, June business shapes up
well with last year and in some cases,
shows an increase. In laying plans for
next season, everyone in this section is
preparing for a banner year.

Bagatelle Rose Gardens

According to the Horticultural Adver-
tiser the Rose trials at Paris this season
are a failure. Our contemporary has
long been of the opinion that the gardens
are unsuited to Rose growing owing to
the thin soil on top of a barren subsoil.

The tremendous drought of last year
and this season has so punished' the
plants, that" on the occasion of the visit
by the international jury, including Mr.
Wister, representing America, it was not
possible to find enough blooms on the
500 or so plants, to make a bouquet
worthy of presentation to any lady.

Despite mulching and watering." many
of the plants have made little growth,
about lin.. and the flowers were either
past or the plants .were too weak to bud.

The only Rose strong enough to win
sufficient points for the gold medal, was
Elvira Aramayo from Looymans &
Zonen, this being after the style of
Queen Alexandra, although the flowers
were too far gone to judge its merits ac-
curately. Two Pernetianas from Barbier
& Co. and Pernet Ducher showed prom-
ise, as did several English varieties. The
H. A. speaks highly of a new Rose
named Feu Josh Looymans, which Mr.
Looymans brought from his Holland
nurseries. It is rich reddish apricot and
yellow, with grand foliage and of splen-
did forcing qualities. It comes on the
market next Spring.

In the established gardens, the one
great Rose in the climbing section was
Paul's Scarlet Climber. Souv. Claudius
Pernet has again proved itself the best
yellow and American Pillar was also a
grand feature.

So.mervii.le, Mass. — This city has
just been celebrating its semi-centennial
anniversary and. in honor of the occa-
sion, the Somerville Journal issued a
special edition featuring the city's birth
and its steady growth in the 50 years
that have passed. Several pages of the
■Journal were devoted to "Representa-
tive Citizens," a short biography, to-
gether with portrait, appearing of each.
Among those mentioned was J. Walter
Howard, noted for his plants and flow-
ers all over Greater Boston, who was
born in Somerville in the house where he
still lives, and where he maintains an
establishment of nine greenhouses. Mr.
Howard also has greenhouses in Woburn,
Mass.. where Carnations ami Roses are
grown.

Possibilities in the Glassware Line, Demonstrated by
the Muehlebach Flower Shop of Kansas City, Mo.

S. A. F. visitors to Kansas City, Mo., in August
next will see in the convention hotel (the Muehle-
bach), a flower shop that may give them new visions
of possibilities of business in commodities usually
considered "incidental" in most flower stores.

The Muehlebach Flower Shop was established two
and a half years ago, and in that short period it has
built up a large trade in glassware and similar items.

The flower shop is owned by the hotel and operated
by Hugo Neff, who is vice-president and manager
of the flower company. It began its existence, there-
fore, with two customers creating a large demand —
the Muehlebach and the Baltimore hotels. These
hotels buy from the flower shop exactly as they buy
from any other store, the decorations of the hotel
and the flower service to tables all being on a con-
tract basis as before the ownership of the flower shop
by the hotel. The hotels offer special
opportunities for elaborate decorative
work, for banquets and weddings es-
pecially. Description and pictures con-
vey inadequate conceptions of such
displays, especially since so many of
them involve elaborate schemes that
obscure the view. But ornamental and
flowering plants and cut flowers, in
settings of bowers, with often several
fountains, are features. A recent wed-
ding at the Muehlebach involved the
use of the entire mezzanine floor, as
well as the ballroom and other rooms
on this floor. A garden effect was car-
ried out in the entire plan, with lat-
tices on which vines hung, the ballroom
being a unit, and having a large foun-
tain on the head table, with another
large fountain in the middle of the
room through which colored lights
played. Each table had, of course, in-
dividual decorations. In the corridors
of the mezzanine floor were erected
booths of lattice in which were tables,
each booth having a distinctive floral
treatment. Fifty cases of Smilax were
used in the decorations for this wed-
ding; 2500 electric lights. Pink Roses
and Snapdragons were the chief cut
flowers used, with palms, Spanish moss
and Woodwardia ferns.

Glassware and Other Items

The possibilities in sales of glass-
ware by florists are being demon-
strated by the Muehlebach Flower
Shop, in an interesting way. Located
in the hotel, this shop naturally has
many customers from surrounding territory, who are
often looking for unusual gifts. This trade, and lo-
cal patronage, have cordially responded to the offer-
ings of rare glassware by the flower shop.

Though the shop is owned by the hotel, and might
reasonably have "splurged" early in its career in
the finer and more expensive items of this class, as
a matter of fact the business was built up slowly
and gradually.

"We began by showing a few items," said Mr. Neff.
"These pleased and were sold, and then we added
another item. Bit by bit the trade has increased
in quantity and variety, until now we are showing
the finest pieces to be obtained."

Many of the glassware items are too expensive
even for local jewelers to stock, and they are not car-
ried by an exclusive china and glassware store that
caters to the best trade. The flower shop can carry
and sell them, because people who love and buy flow-
ers are attracted by the quality of these pieces that
so well set off the beauty of the flowers. So readily
have all items so far offered been received, that the
company is willing to take on almost any item, how-
ever expensive it may seem.

This shop is a specialty shop — for flowers and ves-
sels in which flowers may be properly displayed.

Venetian glass, the rare Ruskin pottery, and the
wonderful Sinclair glass, which is being received so
well because people are proud that this quality can
be produced in this country, all these are shown and
sold. The company has a shipment on the way of
Nancy glass from France, a class of merchandise
that no other sort of store in Kansas City has under-
taken to stock. A recent arrival in this shop, now
on display in the windows, is a shipment of beau-

tiful bowls and vases from Erie, Pa., some of the
objects having been specially made. One of these is
a vase, ordered particularly for use during the con-
vention— unless somebody insists on walking away
with it before August.

In addition to the glassware are the bronze ob-
jects— bowls and candlesticks — which have also been
good sellers. A substantial number of these sets
have been sold. Mr. Neff predicts that wrought iron
will be popular this Fall.

Building Such a Business

But the interesting phase of the glassware trade in
a flower shop is not the mere description of the stock.
It is the way in which the manager developed the
trade.

The appearance of a shop in which glassware seems
to predominate is one of luxury; and, indeed, people
with plenty of money are the ones who feel most at
home there. But Mr. Neff points out there are many
beautiful pieces that are comparatively inexpensive,
and many, indeed, that actually cost but little. The
same shop can serve both the very wealthy and the
merely well to do.

And every year, apparently, while more and more
beautiful examples of brass and bronze are available
of importation, more and more things are offered by
American manufacturers in these lines, some of which
are of low cost. It is evident, not only from the
actual sales in this territory, but from the advancing
state of the art of production, that this class of goods
is growing in popularity.

who have strategic locations as to
territory, with customers living in
nearby towns, will be interested in
the volume of the Muehlebach Flower
Shop's shipping of this fragile glass-
ware. A substantial proportion of the
sales are to people of the Southwest,
guests at the hotel or in the city, who
buy gifts to send home or to friends.
The packing of the vases and thin
bowls, for rail shipment, is simple and
safe enough — when one knows how.
The packing is done under Mr. Neff's
supervision, with equipment which no
doubt visitors to the convention will
be interested to examine.

Window Signs That Add
Effectiveness

Bp CLARENCE T. HUBBARD

The Muehlebach Flower Shop in the Muehlebach Hotel, Kansas City,

Note the class of objects shown, particularly the fountain, with lights shining through the

water. The shop has sold many of these fountains. All the fine glassware is adequately

displayed, with suitable cases and tables. And the display is what sells it.

Mr. Neff has two or three definite items of policy
with respect to buying, pushing and displaying these
goods. In the first place, such stock should not be
allowed to run off into odd ends. If the florist puts in
fifteen or twenty pieces of a kind, and then sells
two-thirds of them, he should very promptly get rid
of the rest. Half a dozen pieces of a variety are a
drag on the store, and it is far better, he believes, to
move them, by cutting the price sharply, if necessary,
than to have them lying around. People keep seeing
them, and the longer they stay the less likely they
are to sell.

Another feature of the policy here is that only one
or two of each pattern should be displayed. The
more pieces shown, the more common the pattern ap-
pears, whereas the trade which buys this class of
merchandise is looking for something distinctive and
exclusive.

A suggestion which Mr. Neff makes to florists who
may wish to develop this profitable and pleasant phase
of the business is that they do not buy too much to
start with. The display of a few items, whereby the
tastes of the trade may be discovered, will lead to a
disclosure of the kind of goods which the florist may
be able to sell in his community or territory. Then
another item may be added, and another, until he
has a fairly large variety, but still with not a great
quantity of any.

Even more important is the suggestion that when
once a florist has started upon this line, he should
be careful to buy new material frequently. New
things must be shown, not only to be sold to the peo-
ple who want the newest things, but for the dressing
up of the salesroom, for the sake of . the advertis-
ing value.

Displays of attractive flowers and
unique floral decorations are generally
irresistible to a passerby. The windows
of a florist, if the least bit well deco-
rated, are bound to receive attention.
However, to get full value out of your
windows, some sales thought must be
introduced which will make a proper
impression. Frequently considerable
"per cent" can be added to the value
of your display through the introduc-
tion of a well appearing sign that
slightly departs from the conventional.
In fact, the success and failure of
many window displays have depended
upon the signs included.

As an illustration, a florist in Connecticut ar-
ranged a very pleasing display, consisting of attrac-
tive interior living room articles, such as a small
table, a chair, rug and table lamp. On the table was
a vase filled with appropriate flowers. In the corner
a fern appeared. This display had a quality appear-
ance and yet was simple in layout, and did not
smother the onlooker with flowers. As an exhibit, it
attracted attention but the attention so gained was
further capitalized in the good sales thought im-
parted with he sign included, reading as follows:
"ONE NEED NOT BE RICH TO ADD CHARM AND
CLASS TO HIS HABITATION"— Charles "Wagner

The above quotation seemed to make quite an im-
pression— even more so, the window decorator ad-
mitted, than any copy he might have included. Quo-
tations of authors and notables are generally re-
viewed with an acknowledgment of their reasoning
and correctness and seldom challenged with con-
trary thoughts. There are many instances when a
well-known quotation makes a very effective and
profitable window card to include.

Along similar lines, but in a different way, another
florist arranged a display of vases which in its pres-
entation was made just so much more valuable and
effective through the inclusion of a simple sign which
in its wording created the proper inspiration in the
minds of onlookers and possibly Inspired thoughts
which the display itself might not have aroused. He
had in the window about a dozen vases of various
sizes or types. The sign which added to the value of
this window, read :

A pedestal supporting a stuffed roos-
ter, and against which was resting an
artistically lettered sign, served as a
novel means to invite attention to an
array of cut flowers displayed by a flo-
rist in Connecticut. It was his desire to
make known the value being offered in
flowers. However, lie did not favor the
use of the words "marked down" and
other well-known synonyms, so he chose
the wording, "Flowers Worth Crowing
About," for the sign in question.

"It is the thought of a window display
that counts, not the view," remarked
one florist, and in support of his state-
ment, he had his window devoted to an
exhibition of Roses of every type — Pre-
mier, American Beauty. Pilgrim and
others. A card descriptive of the name
of the flower rested against each speci-

men so displayed. A large placard was
in the rear and suggested the various
choices and their best applications, such
as budded Pilgrim Roses for remem-
brances to friends confined with sickness,
American Beauty Roses for anniversa-
ries, and so on.

Lancaster, Pa.

July 1 with retailers is simply a matter of
ditto. One week about an equal division
of weddings and funerals, the next a pre-
ponderance of one of the other, the week
just passed the balance was in favor of
the funerals, and with the advent of real
Summer I suppose the balance will con-
tinue on this side.

Backyard gardens supply a portion of
the flowers used for front of the house
decorations, but like Kansas City, these
same people are our best flower buyers,
taking the season through and if their
gardens do cut out a little Summer busi-
ness, wrhat does it matter? You expect
business to drop off during the Summer
months and would be disappointed if it
didn't.

Growers are making Gladioli the prin-
cipal cut from Lancaster county right now.
When one combines the growers writh a
half acre with our two big growers, Ira
Landis and Chas. M. Weaver, these run
into heavy shipments.

Rains continue so frequently that they
are becoming a menace to the Carnation
grower, as they are likely to bring stem
rot into the field stock. This section
has been remarkably free from this
trouble for some years. The month of
June has gone on record as the hottest
and the coldest month of June for some
years. When it was hot it was hot and
when it was cold it was cold and the
changes came so quickly that it was sim-
ply impossible to tell what was coming
next.

To the Geranium grower these changes
are either a calamity or a godsend wrhen
cuttings are being put in every week of
the year. The writer has recently taken
out cuttings that have run practically 100
per cent rooted and fit to ship, and then
again he has taken out cuttings that did
not run over 50 per cent same house, same
treatment, same sand, and same .boss, one
lot put in one week and the other the
next week.

There is a lot of fun to be gotten out
of this business if you are so constituted
as to look on the funny side of things, and
there are certainly some funny ones turn
up when a visitor comes in and sees 50
per cent loss, the advice you get would fill
a book the same size as the one you
filled with cold remedies the last time
you had a cold. Albert M. Hekr.

The Second Flower and Plant Show

At a meeting of representative Southern
California florists and plantsmen, held at
the flower salesroom on Winston st., Los
Angeles, on June 20, it was voted unani-
mously to hold the second annual Cali-
fornia Flower Show and Horticultural
Exhibition in Los Angeles some time dur-
ing October of the present year. The suc-
cess attained by this fixture last year,
made its continuance almost imperative.
This year, however, it will be the aim of
those having the matter in charge to
hold it at some place more centrally lo-
cated to travel than Exposition Park.
Particulars will be announced later and
the specific date will also be chosen. The
following officers and directors were chos-
en to carry on the enterprise this year:
President, Walter Armacost, Sawtelle;
secretary, Chas. F. Gutting, Los Angeles;
Board of Directors: Fred H. Howard,
chairman, Los Angeles; W. H. Rapp,
Pasadena; Albert Morris, Frank Lichten-
berg and A. F. Borden, all of Los An-
geles. The affair will be under the
auspices of the California Association of
Nurserymen.

A Visual Demonstration

The tour made by visiting members of
the LT. S. Department of Agriculture and
California horticultural authorities was
not only a pleasant experience, but an
instructive event. The party automobiled
south from Sacramento, visiting the prin-
cipal sections where florists and nursery-
men's products are chiefly grown, and
where sufficient progress has been made
to insure commercial productions of
those plants heretofore largely imported
from Europe. While in Los Angeles the
visitors were put in the care of the Cham-
ber of Commerce, with Fred H. Howard
and Roy F. Wilcox as director generals
of the moving caravan. Among the places
visited were the Huntington Estate, the
growing plant of Bassett & Washburn,
where nearly a million Kentia palms are
attaining commercial importance; the fine
growing establishment of Roy F. Wilcox
& Co., where occular demonstration was
in evidence in the production of Kentias,
Boxwoods and other plants; the Rose
fields of Howard & Smith of San Fernan-
do, where upward of two million Rose
plants are "coming up" for the Eastern
trade; and finally to the large plant of
Walter Armacost & Co., at Sawtelle, pos-
sibly our leading producers of florists'
flowers and plants.

In the evening there was served a ban-
quet at the City Club, to which represen-
tatives of the florist and nursery trade
were strongly in evidence. Some of the
other places visited by the visitors were
Santa Cruz, San Jose, the San Joaquin
valley, Santa Barbara and San Diego.
The facts learned all tended to authenti-
cate California's claims to the produc-
tion in commercial quantities of many
of the plants heretofore imported from
Europe.

C. A. of N, Garden, San Francisco

The grading for the open garden about
to be established by the California As-
sociation of Nurserymen is about finished
and now awaits the top dressing of good
garden soil. In this condition it will be
allowed to lie fallow until about Septem-
ber, when Fall planting operations will
begin for which much of the space is al-
ready taken by the members, and it is
anticipated that all will be allotted be-
fore the Summer months are over. The
success of a similar undertaking in the
Los Angeles Exposition grounds gives
promise of a splendid effort in Golden
Gate Park. Nurserymen and florists who

Trade Notes and Personals

Following a successful flower show
held last month at Coronado, that city
has formed a floral association with the
following officers: Harold A. Taylor,
president; Mrs. Marshall 0. Terry, vice-
president; Mrs. James McMullen, secre-
tary; Mrs. Joseph H. Pendleton, treas-
urer.

John Bodger, Jr., in company with Mr.
Wheeler of San Jose, is presumed to now
be in Washington in the interests of a
protective tariff on American grown seeds.

A consignment of Citrus trees to the
R. M. Teague Nurseries, which has been
in quarantine by the Federal authorities
in the Coachella Valley, was released dur-
ing the recent visit of Chairman Marlatt
and his associates to Southern California.

The Western Florist, Seedsman mid
Nurseryman is the title of a new monthly
trade magazine to be published by F. H.
Newton, in Los Angeles, the initial num-
ber of which is to appear on the first of
August.

A. D. Robinson, who for some years
was the editor of the California Garden
of San Diego, has returned to the fold
and is again scintillating brightly in that
sprightly garden magazine. G. R. Gor-
ton, who conducted the paper for some
time, removing to Los Angeles, the Floral
Association wisely reinstated Mr. Robin-
son.

Roy F. Wilcox left on June 21 for a
short business trip to Council Bluffs and
other points.

Trade Notes

Trade keeps fairly good, despite the
great influx of outdoor bloom. During the
past week, the funerals of several old
timers (pioneers in the building of
Seattle's old business houses) gave a lot
of work to the florists of the city. Two or
three high class weddings have also tended
to improve an otherwise quiet time. Out
of town shipments are still keeping up
their end of the business, there being a
nice demand for stock from Montana,
Idaho and from British Columbia for
certain classes of stock.

Woodlawn Flower Shop had an elegant
window composed entirely of Iris Ksmp-
feri (purple shades) and Spiraea arun-
cus boldly arranged in five gold colored
vases 3ft. tall; they made a very strik-
ing feature.

Portland's Floral Parade

The large float executed by Jean E.
Lambley of McCoy's Flower Store, for
Platoon B, composed of entries from
neighboring cities, at the Portland Rose
Festival's Floral Parade, was awarded
first prize. It was arranged on a large
trailer drawn by a Fordson tractor, and
was called "The Wayfarer." On the trail-
er were a flock of ten sheep and their
shepherd carrying a lamb in his arms. On
the uprights of the float, groups of Easter
Lilies were arranged, on each side against
a background of native Hemlock were the
letters "The Wayfarer," 2ft. tall; on
the back and front in 1ft. letters the
name Seattle. Over 3000 white Carnations
and 1000 white Roses were used. The
Fordson tractor was decorated with Hem-
lock and blue Spanish Iris and bore a
white cross 6ft. tallj also executed in
Carnations and Roses on its front. This
exhibit attracted considerable attention.

High Jinks in Portland

During the past week, the attention
of local florists has been centered on
Portland, one of the features in connection
with the Rose Festival being the visit of
Tacoma Florists Bowling Club and
the Seattle Florists Bowling team. Both
came out on the winning end of their
games. The boys arrived in Portland on
Tuesday night to the number of 50 with
several members' wives in the party, and
the fun commenced right away. To be
strictly accurate, it had commenced pre-
vious to this, as friend A. B. Mathiesen,
with his party had barely gotten clear
of the city limits of Tacoma, before they
were pulled up for slow driving? Obstruct-
ing the traffic, John Holze said. How-
ever, all troubles were forgotten on ar-
rival at the Rose City; Friend Niklas,
Chas. Scott (Scotty), Fred Young, Tommy
Luke and last, but not least, Mr. Mar-
tin of Martin and Forbes, outdid them-
selves in their hospitality and endeavors
as representatives of Portland's florists.
Consequently the visitors, both from Ta-
coma and Seattle, had the time of their
lives. So attractive were their surround-
ings that the rear guard only reached
their home city in the wee small hours of
Saturday morning. I'm telling the story
because I'm afraid friend Niklas will be
too modest; we want the Portland gang
to be put on Tecord as ranking with the
top notchers, when it comes to good fel-
lowship.

The program of Wednesday was a busy
one; in the morning visits to all green-
houses in city and vicinity was the order,
and woe betide the straggler w-ho didn't
run for his car when "Seotty's" whistle

blew. He bad cooks beaten to a frazzle.
At night, bowling was the business on
hand. Fortunately, Portland lost both
games; had she won, what would have
happened no one dares to predict. The
banquet served at the Multomah Hotel
after the games kas — well it was a ban-
quet with the unquenchable "Scotty" in
charge as toastmaster, assisted by several
henchmen, while Herman Manike of Ta-
coma, Harry Crouch and Gene Sandhall
of Seattle, talked back at 'em. Tommy
Luke and bis charming wife had, previous
to the big show, entertained a party of
the Seattle Florists at his home.

Thursday, bright and early, found va-
rious cars of our entertainers loaded up
with the visitors hitting it over the mag-
nificent Columbia hiehway to the Eagle
George Hotel, 60 miles out. where an-
other banquet was served. "Scotty" again
in charge, nitted Fred Young and Mr.
Martin, asrainst F. C. Smith, Sr. of Ta-
eoma and Will Desmond, Seattle. Honors
even was reported.

But don't think the boys did nothing
but loaf; for the parade they did some
mighty tall work. They siezed on P. I.
"Rosaia's Cadillac car, helped themselves
liberally to Tommy Luke's flowers, as-
signed a decorator to front, back and
each side of the car, allotted the top to
P. F. himself and in 27 minutes, official
timekeeper Gene Sandhal's time, had P.
F. and his_ car on parade. John Holze
disputes this timing, however, and claims
his stop watch said 21 minutes, 25 sec-
onds. John being old and staid, like
myself, I'm inclined to accept his rec-
ord.

Anyway, the visit to Portland will be
long remembered. Cars to take the Seattle
partv were furnished by Gene Sandhal,
A. B. Mathiesen, Harry Crouch, Bryan
Hammond and P. F. Rosaia.

Among Trade Exhibitors

John Byers of Haller Lake had a
very nice collection of Water Lilies on
exhibition. Tom Wylie had a great lot
of perennials. In his collection we noted
Campanula grandis, Greum, Mrs. Brad-
shaw, which would have done "Wool-
gatherer's" eyes good. Some elegant Del-
phinium hybrids, Incarvillea Delavayi,
Helenium Biglowii and Campanula per-
sicifolia. Mrs. Wylie was in charge.

The Richmond Nurseries, J. W. Adams,
proprietor, had, among perennials, Lupin-
us Paynsii, while their Roses included
Golden Emblem, grand in texture and foli-
age; I. F. Crozier, another good yellow;
Narden, quite a lot like Mrs. Aaron
Ward in coloring; Melanie Soupert, Ra-
vary, Lady Ursula, Colleen, rather coarse;
Mrs. A. R. Waddell, Duchess of Welling-
ton, Prince . Charming, an elegant Rose
in the bud, and very pleasing in color
when opened, and Duchess of Westmin-
ster, very fine. Geo. Cooper in charge.

A feature of the show was an old fash-
ioned English garden oblong in shape,
with a central brick edged path opening
out in the center to a square in which
stood a bird bath fountain. The garden
was 36ft. long and 12ft. wide and had a
background of evergreens. In the back-
ground white and light pink Foxgloves
mixed with Delphinium belladonna; in
front of these Aquilegias in variety, with
Shasta Daisies and Sweet Williams in
color masses with a border next the
bricks of various Pinks in white and pink.
A distant view effect was obtained by
the use of a large mirror 8ft. by 4ft. at
the farther end of the garden. A neat
gravel covering was on the paths. The
arrangement which was much admired was
set up by Fred Cole, landscape archi-
tect, an old Kewite, and possibly remem-
bered by some readers as "Pern" of the
Gardeners' Chronicle (English) a number
of years ago. Mr. Cole has originated
several of the show gardens in the West.

During the evening of June 23 he was
presented by the North Park Improvement
Club with ■ a garden painting, "Allah's
Garden," as a slight recognition of serv-
ices rendered to the club.

June 29. — Business has about assumed
the usual Summer dullness as far as store
trade is concerned and from now on
funeral work will be the mainstay. How-
ever, I am told that there is an apparent
increase of business done each Summer
and the slack up does not compare with
that say of ten years ago. This is
very satisfactory when one remembers how
very general the vacation season and sum-
mering at the lakes has become during
that period.

From the information I have gathered,
the past season has been quite satisfac-

tory to the local trade, although the prices
were more moderate than those of last
year. Business costs were lower and a
steady trade seemed to run right through.
The big days were all fine and- a general
cleanup resulted and, in the main, not
much complaint was heard regarding
prices. With the lowering of prices of
freight, labor, and other costs, we must
expect to make reductions also in retail
prices; but the wholesale ones should be
stabilized not to drop below cost of pro-
duction on the one hand, or rise to the
sky limit on the other. Reason and com-
mon sense must prevail if the florist busi-
ness is to progress in the future.

Field grown stock like Carnations are
coming along and the present cool nights
and an occasional shower are fine for them.
"Mums are taking hold quite nicely also.
Roses, being mostly grown in solid beds,
stay without replanting a number of
years.

Repairing the houses and keeping them
in good order will go on as usual, but
there is little in the way of glass exten-
sion being done this year. Most of the
growers are still holding off the coal pur-
chases till after the freight rates drop
next month and generally speaking, econ-
omy of costs in production are being put
in practice wherever possible. Truck and
auto delivery is used more and more
each year and the area of service also
extended, it being found possible to com-
pete with freight service as well as post-
office or express in this way with greater
dispatch and less handling, thus getting
stock delivered in better condition.

William Thomas is the latest to put on
an auto delivery and has found it a great
help this Spring.

June 29. — Hail and wind last week
damaged Lakewood Greenhouses to the
extent of about $1500 and Wessling's
about $700. Lyndale Floral Co. and S.
S. Corgill were damaged to some extent.
There has been considerable rain and hot
weather the past ten days.

Garden flowers of fine quality are al-
most a drug on the market; Larkspur,
Gaillaidia and Coreopsis are found in
abundance.

Aill Bros, are bringing some fine Lilium
giganteum into the market now.

The Flower Festival Publicity Com-
mittee had a meeting Wednesday, June
28, and mapped out a publicity program
for the flower show Nov. 11 to 16.

A. M. Brand of the Brand Nurseries,
Faribault, was in town June 28, on his
way home from Duluth. He has been
busy judging Peony shows the past two
weeks.

The 1923 National Peony Show will
be held in St. Paul next June. Prepara-

Northeastern Horticultural Society of
which Oliver S. Andresen is president
and E. L. Kimball, secretary. The Peony
season at Duluth is at least two weeks
later than in other parts of the state.
Flowers often are picked until the middle
of July. The vigor and color of Peonies
in this district is remarkable; all foliage
is a bright green and the flower appears
brighter than in other sections of the
country, due, perhaps to the cool nights
and peculiar soil conditions. There is al-
ways an abundance of moisture in the air.
Garden flowers and shrubs thrive here
and hold their bright colors all the sea-
son.

The show was held in the rooms of the
First National Bank. Nearly 300 vases
were used and some $160 in premiums
was offered. Fourteen exhibitors com-
peted for the prizes and something over
100 varieties of Peonies were shown. The
room was too small for the crowd of vis-
itors who came to the show Tuesday and
Wednesday. A. M. Brand of the Brand
Nursery, Faribault, judged the exhibits.

Judge F. H. Cutting, a municipal judge
by profession, but a Peony enthusiast, and
in fact, the pioneer Peony grower of Du-
luth, showed over sixty high grade va-
rieties of excellent quality. These were
not placed in competition, as the judge
has taken prizes for a number of years
and thought it only fair to give his neigh-
bors a chance this year. A few of his
finer varieties werie Frances Willard,
Peine Hortense, JVIdme. Emile Lemoine,
Eugenia Verdier, Claire Dubois, Festiva
Maxima, Karl Rosenfield, Charles M. Kel-
lip, Mons. Jules Dessert, Lorna Deheimer
and many others.

The Duluth Floral Co. exhibited a fine
basket of Peonies and the Quality Flower
Shop assisted with baskets, vases, etc.

John M. Kleitsch won the fine loving
cup put out by the Duluth Chamber of
Commerce for the finest collection of
not more than 25 Peonies. Mr. Kleitsch
won several first prizes in other classes.
0. S. Andresen won second on the col-
lection of not over 25 varieties and the
sweepstakes prize for the best vase at the
show with Therese. The third prize for
the collection of not over 25 went to Mrs.
E. L. Kimball, who has a very fine lot of
Peonies.

John M. Kleitsch, O. S. Andresen and
E. L. Kimball were active in staging this
show and the results were a credit to
their hard work. This is the first year
that the number of varieties have been
limited and the naming of all varieties
required. In spite of these restrictions
and disagreeable weather the day before
the show, a very fine exhibit was staged.

Trade Notes

With the closing of June the flo-
rists all report a very satisfactory
month's business with a record-breaking
number of weddings. Doswell Floral Co.
furnished flowers for 21 weddings.

July 1 was ushered in with a quieter
day's receipts ; many prominent citizens
have taken up their abode at their lake
cottages.

There is a plentiful supply of all sea-
sonable flowers ; more than equal to the
demand. Roses and Carnations are run-
ning rather small and of poor color.
Gladioli. Delphinium and Phlox are fine.

News Items

Edgar Wenninghoff, florist, is re-
moving to new and larger quarters, situ-
ated on East Washington St., where he

The florists are thinking of holidays
and already some of them have been
away. Others are making definite plans
to go away for a time. S. A. McFadden
is planning to spend a holiday with his
family at his cottage on Otter Lake.
G. M. Geraghty will spend a month at
his Summer home at Georgian Bay. He

Call to mind that we have several

of Robert Miller, the big greenhouse
owner and public-spirited citizen there
to get the authorities of Salt Lake City
interested in shading their streets with
worth while trees. Dr. Andrew of that
city, who was a recent visitor at this

no means relaxed his efforts to bring this
about and his interest continues in this
as in all other things that are being done
to better the esthetic conditions of Salt
Lake City. We hope we have been able
to place Dr. Andrew, Mr. Miller's repre-
sentative, in possession of facts that will
prove helpful to the cause of city street
tree planting there.

Trade Notes

June 29. — June has again held up
its reputation for better business. TaK-
en as a whole, June has been a very
busy month. The many graduations, recitals
and" other functions, not to leave out the
floral work, all require flowers in the
madeup, so that this makes a great deal
of extra work as few loose flowers are
sold. Palms are also working overtime
at this time of the year; the drivers are
all happy that the palm lugging season
is about done for.

The supply of flowers is naturally am-
ple but at that there is little waste in
the better class stock. Sweet Peas are
plentiful and, of course, good, but baa
are to be had. Carnations are about
reaching their demand level and there
are fewer for the garbage man. Roses
have suffered somewhat from the hot
weather, but are still finding a ready
market. Delphiniums are at their best
and will soon be past their prime, unless
the weather cools off somewhat. Coreop-
sis, Gaillardias and Shasta Daisies are
good fillers to keep the shops looking
bright at little expense. Gladioli are
coming in driblets as the bulk of the
greenhouse cut is off. Before very long,
the early planting of Haley will be com-
ing from out of doors. Some second cut
Snapdragons are now in evidence and find
some good use in basket and sprays; with
a little Delphinium, they make a pleasing
combination.

Ferns are again plentiful and the qual-
ity is fine. Outside of a few Gloxinias,
there are no offerings in potted plants.

The Portland Rose Festival

One more successful Rose festival
was held by the city of Portland recent-
ly. There were many unique features,
but what concerns us most is . flowers.
The Rose show at the armory was quite
a success, but on account of the change
in date, which was necessary on account
of the lateness of the season, it was im-
possible to get the City Auditorium
which lends itself more readily for mak-
ing an artistic effect. The armory is dull
with its drab walls. There was also a
sportsman's show in connection which took
up all the space around the walls. The
competition was entirely amateur. The
retail florists each displayed large bas-
kets of showy material such as Gladiolus
and Delphinium. The Martin & Forbes
Co. showed some very fine baskets of
Roses.

The main event of the festival was the
Floral' Parade; this was only possible
through a great deal of extra and all
night work on the part of the florists.
From what the writer has heard, Smith's
Flower Shop won some five or six firsts
and a grand prize; Clarke Bros, four
firsts and a second grand prize; Niklas
& Son, two firsts and a second. This was
all accomplished with the regular crews
and the help that was so cheerfully ex-
tended by the visiting florists from Seattle
and Tacoma. All the staffs are pleased
that Rose Festival parades come but once
a year.

The weather this year was ideal until
the day of the parade when it turned very
hot; it was a shame" the way the stock
wilted. In fact, some of the cars were
wilted before they left the decorating
room. Probably nowhere in the world
are flowers used so lavishly on automobile
decoration as here in the Rose City.

Everybody's friend, "Scotty," of Pot
fame, while sojourning in the fair city of
Tacoma, was enticed by the florists of
that city to try and get a match in bowl-
ing with the Portland club during Rose
Festival week and "Scotty" like he put
it so that the Portland Florists Club
had to accept the challenge. So there
was a hustle and a bustle about looking
for a team. There was a good response
from the members and games were played
regularly twice a week.

Just about the time that all was sail-
ing smoothly, Seattle could not see why
they should be left out of the scalping
match and they decided that they also
wanted to come for their share of the
glory. By that time the team was mad
and they voted to let the tribes come on.
So on the appointed date, June 20, the
bowlers and their friends, rooters, etc.,
began to arrive for the "killing." On
the morning of the 21st, a trip around
the city and to all the various greenhouses
was arranged and lunch was taken at

Hillsboro. The guides for the local tribe
were "Scotty" and Lulius Dossche.

The business rush during Rose Festival
week was heavy, and no retail florist was
able to help give the fine bunch of
visitors a good time, and incidentally have
one themselves.

Those Bowlers

It was evening when the slaughter
of the innocents took place. The local
team pulled hard, but Tacoma was too
hard a nut for them, and, of course, Ta-
coma took us down for the count. Just
how many pins is best left unsaid. All
this time, Seattle was on the side lines
to take what Tacoma left. Again the
Portland team showed streaks of good
bowling but nothing doing; Seattle in-
sisted we play a full match and, of course,
sprays and wreaths and a bunch of tull
was our lot. We did not stop to count
the pins to see how bad the wreck really
was, but all hurried down to the Multno-
mah Hotel, where a lunch had been pro-
vided. Seventy-five people partook! of
refreshments, both liquid and solid. As
usual, the two cities had their favored
argument about the famous Mountain,
with two names, Mt. Rainier and Mt.
Tacoma. Mr. Manike from Tacoma was
a regular repository of comebacks and
he could not be downed. He evidently
possesses the proverbial nine lives; he
was some rooter for the Tacoma team.

A Mysterious Journey

The following morning, a trip up
the highway by the visitors took them
up to the Gorge Hotel, where a dinner
was served; not being present it is hard
to say just what happened, but there is
a great deal of talk about a room that
had but one key and "Scotty" had that.
It is hard to guess just what was in that
room. Manike was spokesman of the day
and his wit and humor added much to the
enjoyment of the day. That evening on
the return to the city, the visiting gen-
tlemen kindly helped to make the floral
parade a great success by helping all the
various florists with their floral floats.
The following day saw most of the vis-
itors disperse and let it be said that a
finer, livelier and more likable bunch of
fellows has never been the lot of the local
florists to entertain.

Furthermore, although it was only the
spirit of sport that first prevailed to
bring our sister cities to our shores, in
the course of time a Northwest Associa-
tion will spring into existence that will
hold its yearly meetings in the various
cities and be of inspiration and lasting
benefit to all in the trade. Sport will
have succeeded in doing what business,
dull business, has failed to do heretofore.

At the recent meeting of the Oregon
Florists Club, the following officers were
elected: Guy Pilkington, president; H.
Niklas, vice-president; Henry Birchler,
treasurer; F. A. VanKirk, secretary; L.
W. Scott, E. Grantford and Fred Young,
trustees. H. N.

The Market

Business throughout the week was
sluggish and only the very best stock
was used. The second rate and short
stuff mostly found its way to the barrel.

Some large weddings cleaned up white
Roses, Valley, Swainsonia and the like
and toward the weekend were really
scarce.

Roses are suffering from the heat and
there is a perceptible decline in ship-
ments. Carnations are getting smaller
and are in little demand. Delphinium is
still plentiful, although the quality isn't
so good as a week ago.

Outdoor Snapdragon has made its ap-
pearance, but is short of stem and im-

mature. Peonies, with the exception ot
a few in cold storage are over; the last
few shipments saw an advance in price.

Outdoor Sweet Peas are more plentiful;
some are very fine and show the results of
careful culture, but others seem to have
"just grew." There is a tremendous sup-
ply of ordinary garden flowers, Sweet
Williams, Coreopsis and the like, arriv-
ing in such quantities as to dismay the
patient wholesalers.

Gladioli are slowly coming to the front
and no doubt there will be a glut by the
tenth of July. Many thousands in ex-
cess of last year have probably been
planted, as local seed stores were sold out,
as well as local bulh growers three weeks
ago.

Plants are still very scarce, but the
demand is light with the exception of
stock for wedding decorations and hos-
pital gifts.

Cleveland Florists Club

Chairman Jim Wilson of the En-
tertainment Committee is busy at plans
for the annual picnic to be held some-
time in July. Voluntary contributions
are needed to make this affair a success.
Cash prizes are given to winners in the
various events. This eats up quite a
fund and your contribution mailed in
today to Mr. Wilson, will help materially.
Do it now.

The regular monthly meeting of the
club will be held at the Hollenden Mon-
day evening, July 10. Come and bring
some one with you.

Vacations Have Started

Mr. and Mrs. Fred C. Witthuhn of
West 25th st. sailed last week from New
York for Europe.

Wm. H. Temblett and some friends are
fishing at Lake Loughborough, Battersea,
Ontario. He will be away two weeks.

At the Temblett Shop some excellent
pots of Blue Lace Flower are being
shown. This firm is also cutting very
good Sweet Peas and long stemmed Sum-
mer Larkspur.

Trade Notes

The market held up as well as ex-
pected; Roses are improving slightly
Columbia and Milady are the most sought
after as they are the best in quality. Car-
nations are wretched but few good ones
are coming in. Gladioli are lower in
price. Greens are plentiful; fancy ferns
now quoted at $2 per 1000.

The demand for flowers is not very live-
ly; a few birthday and hospital bouquets,
together with funeral work forming the
outlet. At time of writing, weather is
much cooler. With cooler weather and
a little advertising, it is to be hoped
that Summer dullness will be overcome.

Odd Items

George H. Pieser, well known in
the trade, both in Chicago and St. Louis,
will, about the 15th of July, open up at
1317 Pine St., a wholesale house to be
known as the George H. Pieser Whole-
sale Floral Co. Mr. Pieser, formerly had
charge of the cut flower department at
the St. Louis Wholesale Cut Flower Co.,
is well liked by the boys and a member of
the St. Louis Florists Club. All wish him
success in his new venture.

Vacations are in order: H. G. Berning's
staff has started and all the wholesale
houses and retailers are doing the same.

St. Louis Florist Club meeting on the
13th at St. Charles, will be the next
important event. The nomination of of-
ficers for the ensuing year will be the
feature.

Next comes the St. Louis District Grow-
ers meeting and then the picnic of the
St. Louis Florists Club at Normandy
Grove.

Dayton, 0.

The early Spring has put the flower
business two weeks ahead this year, and
outdoor Gladioli, which usually come in
in July, have been plentiful' here for ten
days. Prices range from 8c. to 10c. Car-
nations are out of the running, and good
Roses are getting scarce. The Spring
bedding plant business exceeded all ex-
pectations, although prices were not equal
to those of last year. Wedding and
decoration orders were good during June,

and funeral work kept up well. The hot
weather is now making things lag, as-
people are going to the mountains, and;
vacations are in order.

Horace M. Frank, Forrest Mitman,.
E. E. Schaefer and Geo. Frisch went to
Cincinnati to the Ohio District National
Flower Growers Association meeting last
Wednesday.

Horace M. Frank was elected second,
vice-president of the Ohio district, and
the delegation secured the 1923 convention,
for Dayton.

A visit was made to J. A. Peterson's-
greenhouses, where some fine Cyclamen,.
Begonias and Hydrangeas were noted.

W. G. Matthews is again convalescent.

More Poetry from Kalamazoo

In an unguarded moment some weeks
ago we perpetrated a jingle about the
lack of seed stores in a certain Michi-
gan city. Our local correspondent took
it up and replied in like terms (see last
issue). And now he sends the following
for which he disclaims responsibility —
although we have suspicions. It just
shows that one never knows what an ex-
cursion into the realms of verse may lead
to:

Editor The Florists' Exchange:

Referring to mine of recent date, my
friend, James Jackson, takes issue with
the C. of C. poet, and James being an-
Englishman by birth and an American
by inclination, must therefore be con-
ceded a critic of no mean dimensions. His
championship of the rights of free
speech is too well known for me to men-
tion. James theorizes thus:
The sub he sat in the "old man's" chair
A-rimning his fingers through his hair;
For he had a corner space to fill
And nary an ad to fill the bill.
So he pondered and said, "What will

I do?
I'll riffle a rhyme and put it through
In a manner most journalistical true."
Then he riffled a piffle on Kalamazoo.

However, George Allard, the Lawton
sage, speaking from long and large ex-
perience, opines James is wrong and
thinks most probably it was an eruption
of the "Woolgatherer, after a session with
the L. I. growers." Fie, fie, upon you
George. Well, anyhow, James proves
himself to be a strong arm poet and it
also shows we have a little leisure and
small inducement to work hard; thus the
proving that the end of the season ia
come. S. B.

Death of Hugh Dickson

Rose lovers will regret to learn that
the well known Irish Rose breeder, Hugh
Dickson, recently died. While not per-
haps so successful as his cousins, Alex
Dickson & Sons, he nevertheless intro-
duced many fine Roses. It should be men-
tioned, perhaps, that the late Hugh Dick-
son controlled his own business at Belfast
and was not connected with Alex Dick-
son & Son, nor should he be confused with
the genial giant, Hugh Dickson, who, some
years ago, visited this country. The
latter, by the way, has withdrawn from
the firm of Alex Dickson & Sons and is
now a wholesale seed grower in Eng-
land.

Pigmy Papavers

Some few years ago Amos Perry intro-
duced in England, a new dwarf type of P.
orientale with small pink flowers. The
stems grew about 12in. and the flowers
were proportionately small. At a recent
meeting in London Thora Perry, with blush
white flowers and black anthers, gained
an award. For those who like dwarf Pop-
pies this perennial type is of great inter-
est.

British Iris Club

At an informal dinner, held in London,
on June 7, it was decided to form an Iris
Club. W. R. Dykes, secretary of the
R. H. S., and a great Iris authority, pre-
sided, and among those present were
John C. Wister, president of the Ameri-
can Iris Society, and Leo Bonnewitz, ex-
president of the American Peony Society.

According to reports, the latter two
gentlemen have been having a "high old
time" among the Irises and Roses in Eng-
land and France.

The Market

July 3. — We find in visiting the
wholesale cut flower market today a
great change, and one we regret to say,
for the worse. This has come since our
review of Tuesday. June 27 and began
as early as Thursday of last week. The
■demand fell off very rapidly on then, and
on Friday and Saturday grew still
smaller, and today it is extremely small.
Prices have taken a great tumble and
are in general from 50 to 75 .per cent
below those of the early days of last
week.

American Beauty Roses are in mod-
•erate supply. Special grade blooms are
bringing 15c. to 50c. each, and all other
grades, proportionate prices. The supply
of other Roses is large for the season,
and the demand extremely weak. Top
grade blooms in general are selling at
Se. to 10c. each, Crusader realizing 20c.
and Key 35c. No. 2 grade blooms are
fetching $1 per 100 if of good quality,
fcut if poor, about 50c. The Roses ar-
rived today rather open, and generally in
poor condition.

When ordering, please mention The Exchange

The much smaller supply of Carna-
tions are moving out very slowly at from
50c. to $2 per 100, but there are limited
arrivals of Carnations, far above the
ordinary quality for this season of the
year, which are commanding a price of
from $3 to $5 per 100.

Cattleyas are in small supply and the
demand for them is weak. The range of
price is from 75c. to $1.50 each. Lily of
the Valley is moving out very slowly at
$2 to $5 per 100. White Lilies are at
$15 to $20, and Rubrum Lilies at $S to
$12 per 100. Sales of Lilies also are
slow, but fortunately the arrivals are
not large.

There is a medium to small supply of
several kinds of miscellaneous and bulb-
ous flowers. The most marked increase
in arrivals is in the case of field-grown
Gladiolus, the supply of which is in-

creasing rapidly. All miscellaneous flow-
ers and greens are moving out slowly.
Summer conditions appear to have come
into the market suddenly and in very
pronounced form.

When Will It Stop Raining?

Someone has sarcastically re-
marked that the weather is an inclined
plane down which much useless conver-
sation is wont to slide. Are we not,
however, excusable here in New York
City and its vicinity if we say a little
about the weather of the month of June
and the opening days of July? No
balmy June this year. The rain fell more
or less for 27 of the 30 days of that
month, and totaled fall, 7.S0 inches — a
record untouched in at least 35 years.
And now July has started off with a
record up to Wednesday morning of 2.19
inches, the record rainfall for 51 years.
Can't someone who has influence with
Jupiter Pluvius persuade him to stop
weeping so profusely over New York and
give old Sol a chance to smile on us
for awhile?

Big Trees for Central Park

In a letter appearing in the New
York Times on June 30, Samuel Par-
sons, the well-known and authoritative
landscape architect outlines an inter-
esting plan for the replanting of trees
along the once famous Mall in Central
Park. Mentioning several other causes
which have contributed to the rapid de-
terioration and death of the trees here
and in other parts of the park, Mr.
Parsons give as the main reason the
lack of good soil, without which the
growth of trees and shrubs cannot be
vigorous. And vigor of growth, says Mr.
Parsons, is a sine qua non. His plan,
briefly stated, is that trees about 50ft.
high and loin, to ISin. in diameter one
foot above the ground, be planted in
holes 25ft. in diameter, into each of
which 40 yds. of rich soil has been
placed. He estimates the cost of plant-
ing each tree, and its maintenance for
three years, at $1000. He proposes that
this work be done by private enterprise,
and that the name of the donors of the
trees be placed on a bronze tablet fixed
in the pavement or in concrete in the
lawn. In replying to this letter Park
Commissioner Francis D. Gallatin ex-
presses his willingness to accept Mr.
Parsons' proposition and says in closing
that a bronze tablet may be placed near
each tree indicating the name of the
donor, provided that the proposition and
the design of the tablets is approved by
the Park Department.

The New York Times appears to be
giving more than its usual amount of
attention to horticulture and to the es-
tablishing of lawns and the planting and
maintenance of ornamental trees and
shrubs. In its issue of June 30 appeared
under the heading, "Replanting Lawns
Should Start Now," an article of con-
siderable length containing much inter-
esting matter in regard to the proper
soil for lawns and its preparation, the
proper grass seeds to use, their planting
and the care of the lawn after it is es-
tablished.

The wholesale flower stores of this city
closed on Monday at 3 p.m. and on Tues-
day, Independence Day, at noon. Early
closing was inaugurated in all these
stores on July 1, the closing hour during
July and August being in most cases
3 p.m.

We noted this week at Chas. Futter-
man's, 110 West 2Sth st., large arrivals
of Regal Lilies from Vermont. These
Lilies, which were in the bud, arrived in
good condition and looked to be in ex-
cellent shape for reshipment even to dis-
tant points. They were the best speci-
mens of blooms of this Lily we have
ever seen in the New York wholesale cut
flower market. Mr. Futterman is the
sole distributor of these Regal Lilies,
and not only of the flowers, but also of
the bulbs (Autumn delivery) for forc-
ing. The growers are F. H. Horsford
and also C. P. Horsford of Charlotte,
Vt.

Continuing our report of the several ses-
sions, which, in last week's issue car-

ment of the city of New York, the whole
class visited the city parks. Three large
sightseeing buses, each seating between
55 and 60 people, were filled to capacity,
besides one small car. The outing in-
cluded a trip through the Central Park
greenhouses, a visit to the Shakespeare
Garden, and a visit to the Bronx Bo-
tanical Gardens where Prof. Morrell re-
ceived the visitors and took them through

The Market

July 4. — Independence Day is one
of the great holidays of the year that
brings no business to the florists. On the
other hand if there was no holiday what-
ever the present week to interrupt the
general trend of commerce, it is possible
business would be better, not only for the
florists, but for nearly all other lines of
industry as well. It is estimated that
fully 1,000,000 people left Chicago Sat-
urday to spend the week end and over
the Fourth in the country, or at some of
the nearby Summer resorts. Those who
stay at home will seek other lines of
amusement, and for the time being flower
selling will drop to the zero point for the
season. As the florists have all the other
holidays on which there is an increase,
just like the rest of the world, they take
this day for enjoyment, free from business
cares, that they could not well do on other
holidays.

The market is on a firm basis for the
time being; there is no great amount of
stock, neither is there any particular
demand beyond the ordinary for this

season. There is just about enough of
everything, with no surplus : nothing going
to waste and everything selling for prices
satisfactory for the season and commensu-
rate with the quality of the stock offered.

The supply of Roses is not large; the
big cuts of the season are off. Many have
not yet begun to cut from the early plant-
ed stock. This makes a light supply, but
under the circumstances there is -no one
complaining of the situation. If there
was more it is probable there would not
be a market for them. Short stock sold
the past week for S4 per 100; medium for
$8, and the fancy for $15.

There are still a few Carnations coming
in, and while the quality is on the wane,
there is no trouble in getting $3 per 100
for all that come in.

Peonies are holding on well; only a
few houses are handling them, and all are
coming from cold storage. They are keep-
ing fairly well with but little loss, and
are bringing from $6 to $8 per 100.

Gladioli are fast becoming a feature of
the market. The home grown stock is
coming in, but not in sufficient quantities
to require any strategy to move. So far,
they are all selling well, the shipments of
each day clearing in time to be out of
the way for the following day's consign-
ments.

There is a good supply of L. giganteum
and some rubrums, as well as candidum,
all of which find ready sale for funeral
work.

The first of the season's crop of Asters
are in and are regarded for the time be-
ing as a novelty. The quality is, so far,
not remarkable, and the price, therefore,
proportionate.

The supply of miscellaneous and gar-
den flowers is large. There are Larkspur
Feverfew and Shasta Daisies in large
quantities. In lesser proportions there

are G-aillardias, Candytuft and many wild
flowers. There is an abundance of greens
at last. The new crop ferns coming in
both from the East as well as the South
has relieved the situation to an appreci-
able extent. All of the wholesale houses
kept open until noon Tuesday to receive
whatever shipping orders that might come
in, and emergency business from local
buyers. Only a small force was retained
at the stores for this purpose, the larger
portion of the help and sales forces en-,
joying the holiday with their friends and
families.

Samuel J. Pearce Retires

Sam Pearce, the largest and most ex-
tensive bulb grower in Chicago, has dis-
posed of his business and property at 4711
Higgins rd., in the Jefferson Park section
of the city, to the E. C. Amling Co. .whole-
sale florists, 169 to 175 N. Wabash ave.
The transfer was made July 1, which in-
cludes the property and greenhouse there-
on, all the growing stock, trucks, tools,
and all the appurtenances of a well kept
establishment. The residence which is
on the property is retained by Mr. Pearce
and is not included in the transfer. All
bulbs in storage go with the sale at in-
voice prices. The consideration is stated
at $50,000.

The E. C. Amling Co. will operate the
establishment along similar lines as that

under the former ownership in connec-
tion with their large wholesale business.'
Henry Whermann, a well known grower
of Maywood, will operate the greenhouses
for the new proprietors retaining most of
the old help. The greenhouses contain
approximately 100,000 sq. ft. of glass with
large packing and work rooms, concrete
bulb cellars and forcing compartments.

Mr. Pearce leaves Chicago Thursday for
New York where he has secured passage
on the S. S. Baltic on July 8 for Liver-
pool, England, his native country which he
left about 50 years ago and has not seen
since. His two sons go with him on the
trip, the health of Mrs. Pearce not being -
sufficiently good to withstand the trip. He
will remain in England about three
months.

Sam Pearce was a successful grower
of bulb stock for the Chicago Wholesale
Cut Flower Market; it is estimated that
his annual bulb bill was in the neighbor-
hood of $60,000. When the bulb season
was over, he grew Chrysanthemums and
bedding plants on a large scale. He was '
formerly in business on Clyburne ave.,
but moved to the Higgins rd. property
about twelve years ago where he had more
room and built his range of modern
greenhouses suitable for the class of
stock he produced so successfully. There
are few if any men in the trade in Chi-

"JAY EM" says:

A Matter of Consanguinity

A North Shore gardener recommends that
when Okra is grown, especially for soup purposes,
it cannot be too highly fertilized with bone-
meal. The process of assimilation with the
other ingredients is thereby greatly accelerated.

A New York florist who recently came to
Chicago used wood alcohol on his head by mis-
take for a hair tonic. The next day he found
his head full of splinters.

A. B. C. "Private Stock" Mixture

Realizing the importance of the Pansy to many growers
both as cut flowers and for bedding plant sales, and the
fact that FANCY PANSIES are half sold when offered
to the public, we have combined a mixture which we believe
will create a Bensation because of the many new and odd
shades it contains, many of which have originated with
various growers who are in charge of large private estates
throughout the country, particularly the so-called "Henna"
types. In short, an experience of over thirty years both aB
seedsman and grower, is back of our "PRIVATE STOCK."

TO MY CUSTOMERS IN AMERICA:

Those who are in the market for high grade Cyclamen Seed, I wish
to advise you that I have perfected the finest strain of Cyclamen
Seed I have ever offered, as for the past five years I have devoted my
attention to improving my varieties. Cyclamen offered by me this
season are all true to name and selected only from the best and healthy
plants, which in turn give very good results.

I have paid strict attention to my Salmon and Red shades, particu-
larly for the American trade. My seed will be offered by the American
Bulb Co. It is with pleasure that I recommend to all florists who are
growers of high class plants to try out my seed. I hold recommendations
from the best growers in the world.

Yours very truly,

FERD. FISCHER.

The Market

July 3. — With sustained, fairly
large arrivals and a steadily decreasing
demand the market has worked itself into
that condition where it does not matter
whether school keeps or not. A little
flurry early in the morning, and business
is practically over for the day. There
are no market prices. It is a buyer's
privilege to offer what he thinks he wishes
to pay, and that settles it. If it docs
not, the seller can just nicely keep his

goods. Kn.scs are in pour condition, as .a
rule, when received, and open up as soon
as unpacked. Hadleys are quoted at from
2c. up and Crusaders from 1c. up. All
the other sorts, start at 50c. per 100.

Carnations arc in the same fix. The
very best of Carnations realize 3c. only
with difficulty. For that matter most of
the Carnations offered are not worth a
hurrah. Morning Glow is really the only
variety that shows decent color and looks
fresh and as if it would last, which it
does as a fact. It is a great Summer
Carnation. Next comes Benora.

Double hardy Gypsophila is arriving
and sells on sight. The single variety of
hardy goes less Well, and the annual G.
elegans, which is rather plentiful again,
has to take a back seat.

Delphiniums are in good demand, es-
pecially the light. tinted varieties. The
price for the best is about $2 per doz.
spikes.

Gladioli just about rill the demand,
bringing up to *2.50 per doz. Quite a
tew white Lilies have appeared again;
the asking price is 12c. to 16c. , with al-
most no sales. Regal Lilies are gaining
m favor quite rapidly; the supply is
short yet. They are shipped to the mar-
ket in the bud, before the bud starts to
open in the least, and in this way they
ship fine.

In spite of the everlasting rain some
really fine Sweet Peas are arriving in
small lots, but find it hard to make 3c.
Inferior Peas do not sell at all. This is
the sad story of the market at this time.

News Notes

In the vicinity of Boston, the month
of June will be remembered for many
years to come as a month when the
weather took delight in demonstrating all
its little tricks. Greenhouse men in the
path of the violent hailstorm are not like-
ly to forget what it means to be without
hail insurance, and the notion that this
section of the country is situated outside
the danger zone, has been thoroughly
knocked on the head, especially- after a
second visitation of hail, on Sunday, June
17, demonstrated that one hailstorm can
follow another in the same month True,
the second of these storms was not nearly
as destructive as the first, the pellets of
ice not being very large. What
the ■ stones lacked in size, was made
up in numbers for, at the end of
one hour during which it hailed inces-
santly, the earth was covered with ice
to the depth of one inch in some of the
suburbs of Boston while, curiously enough,
the city itself had no indication of the
storm. The terrific heat, during the first
and second week in June, was followed
by protracted rains which deposited, from
June 19 to June 24, over seven inches of
water, destroying immense amounts of
garden truck and Strawberries and . ruin-
ing the crops of sweet Cherries. Carna-
tion and Aster growers are reporting
damage from washouts and they will be
perfwttv~s'iiTistied if, for a while at least,
the country goes dry.

Benjamin Snyder of the Boston Floral
Supply and Snyder Co., together with
wife and baby, left Boston July 1 on an
extended automobile trip to the White
Mountains. "Benny" has bought a well
situated tract of land adjoining Silver
Lake, near Lowell, where lie will shortly
erect a five room bungalow.

Within the last two weeks, three of the
smaller retail establishments in Boston
have met with financial difficulties The
losses involved in the failures are rela-
tively small aud adjustments with the
creditors will probably enable the delin-
quents to continue in business.

Henry M. Kobinson & Co., Inc., report
business for the month of June as hav-
ing been the best for this period since
the firm started in business. Green Galax
is mentioned as being rather scarce at
present with no prospects of an increase
in the supply until after July 15. Hardy
ferns, new crop, are arriving. They are
yet a little short, but improving fast and
the price may soon be considerably re-
duced. Shipments out of town to beach
and Summer resorts keep all hands busy.

J. M. Cohen is enjoying the evenings
and week ends at Quincy Bay, where his
family is located, for the Summer, in their
handsome country home.

Vacations the Rule

The vacation bug is infesting
Penn's Store in earnest. Wm. Penn and
Mts. Penn are at Grand Lake Stream,
Maine, at the present time. , William re-
members where some of those old "whop-

per trout hang out, which he missed last
year and he won't come home until he's
got them hooked. He says he left them
there the other time so that they might
put on some more fat. J. C. Harris is
at Harwich, Cape Cod. Instead of tak-
ing it easy, he sits up nights thinking up
the program for next year's Ladies' Night
of the Gardeners and Florists Club
Julius Fagan, wife and baby, departed
per auto for the wilds of northern Maine
Frank Maxwell and his tin Lizzie are
back from a happily spent vacation.

During the months of July and August
the two Boston wholesale markets will
close at 12 o'clock, noon, on Saturdays.
Albert Neddy, until recently manager
at Welch Bros. Co. store on Devonshire
St., is now holding a responsible position
in the wholesale store of N. F McCar-
thy & Co., on Otis st.

E. Gorney, wife and daughter are en-
joying a five weeks automobile trip which
will take them through the Atlantic
States clear down to Virginia and Geor-
gia. The return will be by way of New
York, Buffalo and the Mohawk Trail. A
lengthy stay is to be made in Washing-
ton and Baltimore. Moe Liebman of the
Flower Exchange Market, is taking things
easy, with his family, at their Nantasket
Summer home. Joe Margolis of H. M.
Kobinson & Co., Inc., is spending his well
earned vacation in the hills of New Hamp-
shire.

The American Forestry Co. (Little Tree
Farms) of Framingham, Mass., demon-
strated the possibilities of beautifying
the home grounds by judicious plantings
of evergreens and other plants on the
mam floor in Horticultural Hall, Boston,
on the occasion of the convention of tne
National Educational Association which
opened July 3. Over 30,000 of the fore-
most educators and school teachers of
America are meeting in Boston. Modern
cottages with front and back yards
planted so as to make the most of all
possibilities, nestled against backgrounds
of tall Cedars and Pines and, here and
there, flower gardens surrounded ' by
groups of shrubbery delighted the eye.
This contribution, by the American For-
estry Co., to the educational features
of the convention, is instructive and
greatly admired.

The opening of the new wholesale store
of Welch's, Inc., at 288 Devonshire St.,
Boston, on July 1, witnessed the
uresence of a great number of the friends
and associates of Edward J. Welch, the
proprietor, who came to extend their
good wishes for the welfare of the new
undertaking.

Martin Wax of Wax Bros., keeps close
tab on wedding statistics in his city.
According to his account there were in
Boston, in the month of June 1922, 87 less
weddings than in the same month of last
year. For the period of Jan. 1 to June
30, 47S less weddings took place this
year as against last. Yet, in spite of these
facts, Wax Bros, are glad to mention that
they have received more wedding orders
than ever, so far this year; also making
the observation that, on the average, con-
siderable less money is spent now for
floral displays on weddings. The firm is
featuring an exceedingly handsome display
of the new Bavarian lustrous ware, which
makes a great appeal to discriminating
customers on account of its marvelous
beauty and diversity of designs. Herbert
Hartford, manager of the store, and Miss
Marjorie Hatch of the office force, are
the first ones to go on their vacations.

National Gardeners' Convention

A meeting of the several conven-
tion committees, active on the prepara-
tions for the coming convention in Boston
of the National Association of Gardeners,
/took place in Horticultural Hall, Boston
on the evening of Friday, June 30.

Robert Cameron, president of the asso-
ciation, guided the meeting, while Wm.
N. Craig, general chairman of the Conven- »
tion committees, took charge -oi the di- I
verse details. Nearly all the members .
of the several committees appointed were f
present, over thirty in all. The mayor
of Boston, the president of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society, as well
as other prominent members of other so- I
cieties and of the city government will
be invited to the convention and among
the speakers at the convention, one lady
will be included. The first two days are
to be given over to business proceedings,
irhile the next two are to be devoted to
excursions covering the finest estates near
Boston and the most interesting of the

We have particular reference to the following items:

GLADIOLI

Plenty of them now, including such varieties as GIANT
WHITE, AMERICA, HALLEY and other good commercial
kinds.

EASTER LILIES

Why not arrange with us to send you some Lilies regu-
larly once or twice a week? We will ship them to you in
bud so that there will be no loss in transit, and they can
be used as they develop.

ASTERS

There is an ample supply now of a fairly good quality.
DELPHINIUM BELLADONNA we will have all summer.

The Market

"The market's not bad, considering the
time of year," said one wholesaler, July
3. "There are no fancy prices, of course,
and there certainly is plenty of stock."

June 26 saw a temporary shortage in
white Roses, but as a general rule there
has been an ample supply of all varieties
to meet the demand nicely. Roses are
generally in good supply, but mostly shorts
and mediums. Longs are scare and in
active demand. Stock will continue to
deteriorate in quality, of course, since all
establisliments are gradually coming off
crop.

Gladioli are also on the decline in
quality, but quantity is increasing. It
was estimated that the market would be
flooded by July 8, if present weather con-

Gladioli

As an all-round hot weather flower the Gladioli
has no equal.

derfully choice quality — the very best and of the
newer varieties.

tinues. Last week saw a predominance
of Halley over any other one type, per-
haps, and a general decline in prices and
a weak stability for even low quotations.

Sweet Peas have about reached the
stage where they must be used the same
day they arrive. The damp weather is, of
course, the cause, although there is never
much in the way of quality at this time of
year.

A new feature on the market will soon
be Asters. Some were available last
week, and it was estimated that July 8
would probably see the supply equal the
demand in this bloom.

Outdoor stock continues generally plen-
tiful, and there is a fair demand. Over
the holiday season, of course, little busi-
ness can be expected, and last week is
hardly an estimate of the natural tone of
the market.

Orchids are going off crop rapidly, and
demand is small. There are numbers of
good Easter Lilies, and Valley is avail-
able, and some demand is experienced,
but in the main the dull Summer season
is here to stay and nothing out of the
ordinary is to be expected.

Notes

The Leo Niessen Co. showed some
fine white Giant Gladioli July 3. These
blooms are as large or larger than any
whites on the market and brought last
week's high price of. 8c.

John Berger had a week end trip with
prospective Governor Pinchot of Penn-
sylvania. The new governor is some fish-
erman, apparently, and the party returned
with a good catch.

iliss A. F. Schmidt, secretary of the
Philadelphia Cut Flower Co., reports a
reasonably good week. Manager George
Aeugle was able to leave his bed for the
first time July 3, and is on the high road
to recovery. He will, of course, be unable
to return to his duties for a month or
more yet.

The attention of everyone in the market
is turned on the approaching games of
the league at Belmont, July 6. H. Bay-
ersdorfer Co. played the M. Rice Co.
June 29, and beat them 8 to 3 in a full
nine inning game. This, of course, does
not count in the league. The Bayersdor-
ter team is equipped with its new suits.

TURNER BROS., Bladen, Neb.

Retailers

The hot weather makes a fine op-
portunity for florists to make their stores
attractive. For instance, we walked past
J. J. Habermehl's Sons the other day, and
it was some hot. We looked in the win-
dow. Cool green moss bordered a stone
pond of natural effect. Fish swam in
the cool of the -water, and heavy dank
ferns brooded over the scene from the
top. That is an attractive scene from a
hot sidewalk. We weren't the only ones
who thought so, either. Every passing eye
took in that grouping, and many stopped
to gaze longingly.

Of course, the cool effect can be ob-
tained in other ways. For instance, the
window of Pennock Bros, was simply
done, but it looked cool and airy. We
traced the effect to a backing of pale
blue silk. It certainly is a fact that
color means quite a lot in the scheme of
things.

J. L. Pennock spent the holiday at his
place at Seaside Park, N. J.

Boston— Continued from]page 106

many historical locations in the city and
in Lexington and Concord. For these
excursions a sufficient number of automo-
biles have been secured and an old fash-
ioned New England clambake on the
shores of the Atlantic, adjoining the
beautiful estate, Castle Hill, of R. T.
Crane, where Mr. Cameron is the super-
intendent, will be a feature of one day's
outing and a revelation to visitors who
have never partaken of such a gastrono-
mical delight. The Agassiz museum col-
lection of incomparable glass flowers and
the Arnold Arboretum, together with the
banquet at a hotel, on the second night
of the meeting, are sure to help make this
year's meeting' a memorable one.

A novel display of attractive and dec-
orative crockery ware, in connection with
goldfish globes, is this week the outstand-
ing feature in one of Perm's show win-
dows. Imagine a handsome crystal vase,
wherein disport themselves two or three
tiny goldfish, at the base of a weather-
beaten stump on which perches greedy
Mr. Kingfisher ready to spear an unsus-
pecting victim. If it is not a feathered
enemy it is a sleek kitten or a barefooted
urchin with his hook and line, who is try-
ing his best to yank poor little goldfish
out of the water. Another globe repre-
sents the pool of the secluded swimming
hole of the days of our boyhood. These
earthen figures are of substantial size

and build, constituting charming orna-
ments for the living room or boudoir.

Where Are the Spiraeas?

One of the plants which was large-
ly grown for Easter and which is now
unobtainable on account of Qu. 37, is
Spirasa (Astilbe) japoniea. Only a very
few of these plants were to be seen in the
markets and in the stores at the holidays
and these few were only shadows of what
the growers produced before an unfair law
prevented the importation of the root
clumps. The plants offered at the market
this year were greatly undersized, carry-
ing only a few flower spikes and, on ac-
count of their scarcity, they were held
at such an exorbitant price that the pub-
lic, fought shy of them. Growers who
used to handle these Spiraeas by the
thousands year after year and always
made a good thing out of them, say that
satisfactory roots cannot be procured
nowadays. The clumps obtainable are
only very small divisions, consisting of
not more than two to four eyes, necessi-
tating the planting of several roots into
one pot to make a respectable plant and
the price for these small divisions is sev-
eral times that of what, in former times,
one big root clump would cost. Under
these circumstances, there is no money in
handling this sort of stock.

A prominent grower who produces a
great amount of bedding stock, complains
that the seed of French Marigold was ex-
tremely poor this year. Ordering, as us-
ual, the regular dwarf kind, he received
seed that was labeled as dwarf, but the
resulting plants were the poorest and tall-
est rubbish a man would want to see with
flowers, absolutely worthless. How any
reputable seedhouse can send out seeds of
this character is one of the riddles the
above mentioned grower would be will-
ing to solve. Is Qu. 37 connected also
with French Marigold seed?

Bougainvilleas in California

Editor The Florists Exchange:

I was a bit surprised to read in a re-
cent issue of The Exchange red flower-
ing Bougainvilleas discussed as "rare."
There is a brilliant red specimen, more
than 30 years old, growing at the Hollen-
beck Home grounds, and a beautiful rose
colored one, 15 years old, may be seen in
South Pasadena.

The most gorgeous of all we grow is one
I know by the name of B. brazilensis.
The late Charles Canfield, an oil operator,
was also a plant enthusiast, and once
when in Mexico he got a few cuttings.
Thus it was introduced into our midst.

There are varieties that are worthless
so far as flowers are concerned. They
are rampant growers, but shy bloomers,
and the blossoms are a muddy magenta.
So far as I am able to discover, they are
all of one species, but of different va-
rieties. P . D. Barnhart.

It isn't materia] only that counts; it's time as well. With
PUTTIUMyou can cover a greater surface in less time and
at less cost, and with better results! All over the country
PUTTITJM is fast gaining a foothold. No tar — just pure
Mexican Asphalt combined with Gilsonite and high grade
Canadian Asbestos Fibre. In GRAY PUTTIUM the Asphalt
base is eliminated, and specially treated non-volatile oils,
heat-resisting gums and imported pigments used. Adaptable
to any degree of temperature, never becomes brittle, easy to
remove when necessary, and backed by McCallum!

GREENHOUSES

Type of house being erected for William Scott Co., Florists, Buffalo, N. Y.

Forty-four Years as Growers, i£>C0tt, the Florist, Chooses a KING

The William Scott Co., Florists, Main and Balcom Sts., Buffalo, N. Y., have
been in business for forty-four years. In that time they have built and re-
built many houses. When they decided on a new house they chose a King
for its superior construction and growing qualities.

"We want more firsts" said Mr. W. F. Scott, "and that 40 x 1 50 steel frame house will grow

them for us. There are no gutters to fill up, leak and spoil plants.
We will save fuel and protect the flowers because there won't
be rapid temperature changes with all that air space. The
shadow is hardly noticable in big houses of that design.

We'll be glad to furnish estimates and suggestions for your
next house.

Continuation of Last Week's Talk

About Our Desire for Small Orders

and the Making of Right Prices

1 13

Last week hope we made it clear to you just how
important to us are all small orders from so little
as even a dollar up. Also, that of our 3 or 4 thou-
sand customers only about 350 each year buy more
than $500 worth.

Strange as it may seem to you considering how big
this concern is, and how many big houses we build;
still the business is largely made up of small orders.
Many a grower who now has our 40 or 50 foot iron
framers, started by giving us an order for a few hot-
bed sash, or the buying of a little repair materials.

This spring we have been doing so much talking
about that Number Two Iron Frame house that
costs no more than the Semi-Iron, that you may
have the impression that we don't want to sell any-
thing else but iron frame. Also that your order
for a little semi-iron frame house using only the ma-
terials you may desire, does not interest us, or that
our prices will be too high. In all three cases you
are wrong — way wrong. We fully appreciate that

it's foolish for a man with a Ford pocketbook, so
to speak, to buy a Buick or a Reo. Or one with a
Buick pocketbook to buy a Packard. Everybody
knows that for the purpose it is intended, the Ford
is a mighty good buy. It's worth the money. If
you are not ready for either our Buick or Packard
house, then we will gladly sell you the Ford kind,
at a Ford price.

For equal greenhouse values, we don't pro-
pose to let anyone undersell us. We are par-
ticularly interested in the small grower with only
a few dollars to spend. None of our salesmen have
any high and mighty notions about the size an
order should be. They are paid to sell satisfac-
tion. You will find them a fine folksy lot of fellows
who thoroughly know the greenhouse business.

Let us remind you that any orders, no matter how
little, you may send in, will receive prompt attention.
Order from the Handy Hand Book. You will find
it a regular mine of good things.

New York- (Continued fpom page 102)

all the greenhouses and other interesting
parts of Bronx Park. The visiting flo-
rists were surprised at the wonderful
collections of palms' in Central Park, the
massed varieties in the Shakespeare Gar-
den and the wonderful condition of the
Rose gardens. It was a happy afternoon
for all.

On Friday flowers for funerals were
; the theme, different types of wreaths
from the smallest and lowest priced to
the high priced and elaborate de-
signs, being i.lustrated as well as casket
covers and casket sprays.

On Friday night the class met at a
dinner — 141 people being present, a few
pupils having had to leave that evening.
Chas. H. and Edward Sceery from Pater-
son were on hand, representing the F. T.
D. from out of town. W. A. Manda,
Chas. H. Brown, district representative
of the F. T. D., and George D. Nicholas
assisted Mr. Schling in receiving the
guests and represented New York flori-
culture. Others among the guests were
Prof. Thurston, Mr. Crissman and rep-
resentatives of different coUeges.

Mr. Sceery spoke on what the school
meant ; that it meant not only advance-
ment in floriculture bat also a competi-
tive effort in cooperation instigated by
the wonderful spirit of the students pres-
ent. That these really were not just flo-
rists or men and women, or scholars and
teachers, but simply numbers of one big
family, each one making an effort to
go the other one better in big hearted-
ness and harmony.

Chas. H. Brown spoke wonderfully
well of those who can lift themselves
above the little details of life, and who
have the foresight to see the big future
possibilities of the profession and the

benefits possible from work based on co-
operative harmony.

Mr. Nicho.as spoke about the love and
appreciation of coworkers toward one an-
other ; about the wonderful spirit de-
veloped in just a few days of being to-
gether ; a spirit strong enough to carry
everybody along to a better existence, to
better work, to better service to the pub-
lic and to better service in behalf of each
other. .

Mr. Manda also spoke about this high
spirit and about the wonderful example
the school sets throughout the country
for the other members of the craft. He
described it as a spirit without selfish-
ness, giving without limit of one's body
and soul to the ideals held up through
a long busy life and said that the mes-
sage sent out through these actions wid
carry weight in years to come and will
give rise to new and better deeds.

Mr. Scheider described in short snappy
sentences the value of the work and the
value of this self-giving spirit; the nec-
essity of carrying on the work and bring-
ing it to the notice of others. He em-
pnasized that it is important that the
public derive the same benefits from this
work and in the same proportion as the
florists.

After that came Charlie Grakelow who
described the art of floristry and its
members as one would describe human-
ity. He mentioned their faults and their
virtues, aud bis words were medicine for
the faults and praise for the virtues. It
is not only seeing, it is not only dream-
ing, he said, it is the action that we put
into our efforts which speaks clearer
than anything else. And if we want to
grow we' have to consider the work and
tne lives of others. V\ e have to learn
to live with them and work with them,
and then we will accomplish what we
set out to do, have a better living and
help others to a better living.

it would take much more space than
is availab.e to set down what this so
greatly beloved man among florists said
tnat evening. And even then no one
wanted him to stop. After Prof. Thurs-
ton explained of what educational value
tne school is to florists, what incentive
' and enthusiasm those attending are tak-
ing home with them, how it inspired one
aud ail to do better work, to give more
and better service, how each one feels
t.iat tne profession is not only a bread-
winner but that it gives joy to those liv-
ing in it. Mr. Grakelow spoke again, and
besides giving good advice he made every-
one happy. " For m the name of tne
scholars lie presented Mr. and Mis.
behiing with a wonderful silver service.

The whole affair was not like one of
grown men and women, each from a dif-
ferent city and a different State; it was
more like' a big family reunion. It was
not as thoug.i tnose present had known
eacn otner only for a few days, but
rather as if they had been friends since
childhood. Aud each one departed know-
ing mat in everyone present he bad a
good friend.

Saturday morning the school was
filied io capacity, as on every otaer day.
it certainly did not look as if tnere had
been a late party the evening previous,
i-ecoi.. lions mi- w. elding, etc., packing
a. .u sending out of cut flowers, filling of
orders, climate, tor , ontiucis were dem-
onstrated and practical instructions
gi . en.

As one of those present said, "Gener-
ally when school closes there is happi-
ness because the vacation is on. Never
before was there a school at which no
thought was given in advance to the
time of closing. In this instance, every-
one was sorry that school was at an end."

Newport, R. I.

Business in the florists line has picked
up quite considerably in the past week.
A round of luncheons and dinners in the
Summer colonl so early in the year
augurs well for a successful season. A
ball for 200 guests was given by Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Goelet at the R. T. Wilson
residence, which they have taken for
the season. The ballroom and large tent
erected for the occasion was decorated by
Wadley and Smythe, with Oak boughs
and Rambler Roses being used princi-
pally. On the supper tables Premier

. Roses and Gladioli were used.

. All the stores here had elaborate win-
dow displays for the Fourth.

The question raised by Mr.- Baxter
regarding the Boxwood leaf miner in the
last issue of The Exchange (page 26)

. is -one that has given local growers of

Boxwood quite a little worry in past
years, but since spraying with dry lime
and sulphur (soluble sulphur) became a
custom, they are no longer dreaded. Ap-
plications are made two or three times
each season with an interval of a few-
days between each spraying, at the time
that the winged critters emerge from the
leaves. The molasses treatment advised
seems simpler yet.

cago who are more widely known and
better liked than Sam Pearce. He is a
lovable man, kind hearted and generous
to a fault. The struggling florist who
went to him for either stock or financial
assistance never went away empty handed.
■Others in the trade who had a poor
credit reputation would go to him when
all other sources failed. He was always
willing to take a chance in his desire
to help the less fortunate and on these
he often stated he never lost anything;
no matter who might go by default, they
would, always pay him.

His many friends in Chicago wish him
bon voyage and a safe return to his
home and family ties.

Sam Pearce consigned a large portion
of his stock to the E. C. Amling Co. dur-
ing his long career as a grower. In token
of the friendly business relations that ex-
isted for so long between the Amling Co.
and Mr. Pearce, Bert Chadwick acting for
the company, presented him with a 32nd
Degree Masonic charm, one of the finest to
be had in the city. It is a folding em-
blem, each fold representing one of the
mystic degrees from the Blue Lodge to
the Shrine. Mr. Pearce takes this with
him, which lie treasures as more precious
than rubies for the ties of friendship it
represents.

News Notes

Louis Finnermann, for some time
past connected with Ziska & Sons in the
florists' supply business has joined the
sales forces of A. Henderson & Co. Mr.
Finnermann was formerly connected with
this house and is well and favorably known
to the trade of the city.

H. C. Wullbrandt, who conducted the
Globe Greenhouses at 5315 W. Madison
st., has disposed of the business and prop-
erty to John Weiland who will conduct
it in connection with his establishment
in Evanston. The transfer was made
July 1.

Tom Rogers, who conducts a thriv-
ing flower store at 7055 Wentworth ave.,
has purchased an Auburn car, which he
uses both for business and pleasure. He
took a party of friends to Winona Lake
Saturday, wiiere they will spend the
fourth of July, returning for business
Wednesday morning.

Hageman & Swanson, who for the past
three years have conducted the Madison
Flower Shop, corner of Colorado ave. and
Madison st., have dissolved partnership,
Fred Hageman taking over the business
on his own responsibility. Mr. Swanson
lias taken a location on Lawrence ave.,
near Milwaukee ave. There is a good
stoic already on the property to which
he will add immediately a greenhouse for
decorative and flowering plants.

Peter Miller of the George Wienhoeber
flower stores left Sunday for Dallas,
Texas, where he will attend the meeting
and exhibition of the Texas State Florists
Association, July 5, 6 and 7. Mr. Miller
goes to give expert demonstrations in the
arrangement of cut flowers in the many
different ways in which they are used.
The members of the Texas State Florists
Association are fortunate indeed in hav-
ing an artist of the experience and taste
of Peter Miller to demonstrate to them
the intricacies of floral arrangement, as
he can well exemplify.

The Poehlmann Bros. Co. will be rep-
resented at the Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas
and the S. A. F. National Convention at
Kansas City by E. C. Pruner. At the
S. A. F. convention other members of the
firm will assist Mr. Pruner as a particu-
larly large exhibition is planned for Kan-
sas City. Here Mr. Pruner will have
charge of the plant exhibit only. Mana-
ger Tyler will be in charge of the supply
department, assisted by Gus. Martial, C.
Parker, O. C. Johns and others.

Chicago seed and supply houses are pre-
paring for a large exhibit at the S. A. F.

convention and trade exhibit at Kansas
City next month. Being in close pro-
pinquity to Chicago, it will virtually mean
the reproduction at the convention of
some of the largest showrooms and seed
houses of the city. LTnusual preparations
are being made. It is believed it will
be the greatest convention in the history
of the society.

Ove Gnatt of La Porte, Ind., was in the
city the past week, and reports business
good, having booked up well on orders
for Christmas goods. He is quite opti-
mistic as to business conditions, and be-
lieves there will be no let up in the
prosperity the trade has been enjoying
for a long time. His house will be rep-
resented at all of the State conventions in
the Southwest, and will have a compre-
hensive exhibit of everything in their
line at the S. A. F. convention in Kansas
City next month.

Heating Queries

Conducted by John McArthur
Mgr. Heating Dept. . Hitchings & Co.

I have a leanto, 26ft.x23ft., containing
approximately 1000 sq. ft. of glass. The
house is of pipe frame construction, with
16x20 glass, facing south, with the north
end protected by a building. The walls
are of cement, Sin. thick, 3ft. high, with
2ft. of glass on the south or eave end of
the structure, with a height of 15ft. from
the ground to the roof where the leanto
joins the building. Want to use it as
a propagating house and growing on of
general stock, mostly Geraniums. What
is the best way to heat it, using hot
water? — C. J. A., Conn.

— If the house you describe is of or-
dinary sound construction and tightly
glazed, I figure it would require 530 lineal
feet of 2in. pipe to maintain a night tem-
perature of from 55 to 60 deg. when
the mercury outside is at zero. This
amount of pipe can be distributed under
the benches to best suit the bench ar-
rangement and doors.

If possible, place the boiler in a cellar
deep enough so that all pipes can be
placed under the benches, and grade all
coils up from the boiler about lin. to
every 10ft., and place an air vent at the
highest point of each coil. You will also
require an expansion tank, which should
be about lOin. diameter and 20in. high.
The bottom of the expansion tank should
be at least 2ft. above the highest point of
the heating system, and more if con-
venient. J. N. McArthur.

I have a round, four-sectional, hot
water boiler, with firebox 28in. diameter.
How many sq. ft. of glass will it heat to
50 deg. on inside when the temperature
is zero on outside, allowing 4ft. of glass on
the sides. Boiler has two 4in. outlets and
two 4in. inlets. — I. W. W., O.

— There are quite a number of differ-
ent makes of round hot water boilers
having a grate 2Sin. in diameter, but
assuming you count the ash pit as one
section with the fire pot, and two addi-
tional sections on top of fire pot, it would
be rated to heat approximately 1100 sq.
ft. of coil radiation in agreenhouse. From
this amount you should deduct at least
20 per cent for surplus boiler capacity,
so that 880 sq. ft. of radiation would be
a safe working capacity.

This amount of radiation would heat an
ordinary sound constructed greenhouse,
having equivalent to 2600 sq. ft. of ex-
posed glass surface, to a temperature of
55 to 60 at night when the mercury out-
side is at zero. J. N. McArthur.

C. A. H, N. Y.

— Please note that the reply published
last week should read: "Three 2in. flows
and four 2in. returns one side and three
2in. flows and three 2in. returns other
side.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y. — Contract for the
erection of a greenhouse on College Hill
has been awarded to the Lord & Burn-
ham Co., Irvington, N. Y. The new green-
house will be used for taking care of the
city's flowers in the Fall and Winter sea-
sons, and for the propagation of new
plants for use in the various city parks
and public grounds.

Who Is To Blame?

Last fall several owners of ranges had
to suddenly change their growing plans,
because of delays in finishing the over-
hauling of their heating.

Who was to blame?

It's a heat squeezer. That's what it is. It squeezes the heat out of coal
that you would declare there wasn't any heat in

m

A number of others— one a notably big
range— came near losing their entire crop
because of last-minute boiler trouble that
the owners knew was likely to happen
almost any time, and still had put off
doing anything about.
Who was to blame?

You remember early last spring how we
commenced urging florists to start in over-
hauling their heating systems the very day
firing stopped.

You remember how a lot didn't do it think-
ing that pipe and other things would be
lower.

But they were not. :'

So they had to pay the price for pipe, be-
sides the extra cost of a last-minute rush
job — which is always mighty expensive.

Instead of saving money, they actually gave
a lot of money away, for which they got
no real benefit.

So this season the same as last, we urge
growers to have their heating overhauled
at once.

Send for us to come and look it over,
make recommendations and submit an
estimate.

After which don't put off giving us the
go-ahead order, until the last minute and
then expect us to do the impossible.

Burpee's Orange I

New Winter Flowering Sweet Pea

Burpee's Orange was
greatly admired when
exhibited this Spring at
The International Flow-
er Show in New York.
Some of the largest
Sweet Pea growers who
have seen Burpee's Or-
ange on exhibition share
our belief and assure us
that the demand for
Burpee's Orange will be
tremendous.

The illustration was en-
graved from a life-size
photograph taken on
Burpee's Fordhook
Farms.

For many years we had this color in view in
our hybridizing work; for long it eluded us but at
last we were successful, Burpee's Orange even
exceeding in beauty our most sanguine ambition.

Burpee's Orange is in every way distinct
from other so-called orange varieties. There is no
trace of pink or orange-pink in either standard or
wings. It is a true glowing orange self, practically
the shade of a bright ripe orange.

The rich glistening color compels attention in
any light, but at night, under artificial light, it
is indeed outstanding. Burpee's Orange has
been proclaimed by experts and the press alike, as
being the greatest advance of many years in this
type of Sweet Pea. In the opinion of many the
vase of Burpee's Orange included in our Gold
Medal Exhibit at the National Flower Show at
Indianapolis, March, 1922, was the finest and most
outstanding vase of Sweet Peas in the exhibition.

Burpee's Orange is a free grower, with
flowers of largest size, produced in threes and fours
on stems of great length. The standard and wings
are charmingly waved or crinkled. It is indeed a
pleasure and also a privilege for us to be in a po-
sition to offer our friends and customers a variety
of such merit — a variety of which we can all feel
proud.

Burpee's Orange was awarded Certificate of
Merit at the International Flower Show, New York,
March, 1921.

Trade packet $1.00; oz. $5.00;
YA lb. $15.00; lb. $50.00.

Country Club District
of Kansas City

THE Country Club District of Kansas City,
Mo., has a very practical interest for flo-
rists and ornamental horticulturists. For
this district reflects what can be done by ag-
gressive and forethoughted attention to land-
scaping and restricting in residence neighbor-

I Us.

People come from all parts of the world, and
of course, from every part of the United States,
to see this district, and to gain from its appear-
ance, and data on the method of operating it,
helpful ideas for application to their own par-
ticular problems in their professions and locali-

The writer will try to convey some of the ele-
ni. his in this development, which will be useful
to florists and ornamental horticulturists.

The Country Club District comprises more
llian 2500 acres, between 47th and 65th sts.,
lour miles due south of the Union Station, or
five miles due south of the business section.
All this area, all contiguous, is under one man-
agement, that of the J. C. Nichols Investment
Co. The nucleus of the tract was secured in
190S, when the entire district was rough land,
with only a few buildings (later demolished,
except those of historical interest).

The company has from
the beginning retained na-
tionally known landscape
engineers, to guide the
planning of the entire
tract, with reference to
Doulevards, parks, streets,
character of buildings, and
planting. George E. Kes-
sler, who laid out and has
guided the development of
Kansas City's park and
boulevard system, has con-
tinuously been one of the
advisers in the develop-
ment of the district; John
Nolen, of Boston, is one of
the consultants. * * *

Hare & Hare, landscape
architects of Kansas City,
have devoted much time to
the study of landscape
treatment for the entire
district, as well as of in-
dividual tracts.

The company now has
jan advisory department for the purpose of giving
j residents information as to proper method of planting
j home sites. All plans for residences in the district
| have to be submitted for approval as to location,
• grade and elevation.

General Features of
the District

It can be seen
:that so far as the
I general aspects of
j the district are
concerned, its ar-
tistic planning is
assured and resi-
dential tracts are
I sure to be well im-
proved. One of the
ideals of the com-
pany has been to
inspire residents
i with the desire to
maintain and in-
crease the beautifi-
cation of their
property.

There are no
"unsightly spots" in
I lie district. Hun-
dreds of thousands
of shrubs, vines,
trees and floral
beds have there-
fore been planted
on vacant lots;
and the larger
areas of unim-

View of a model of a home now being erected in Mission Hills,
part of the Country Club district. The architects, Buckley and
Van Brunt, had many problems to solve, in planning the house
for an irregular tract of elevations varying 30ft.; saving trees,
preserving a brook and conserving the attractive features of the
hillside. Landscape architects Hare & Hare were called upon
to adjust the grounds program to the general design of the resi-
dence, and conversely assisted the architects in adjusting the house
plan to the exigencies of the landscape necessities.

proved property have been given utilization that pre-
vents their deterioration into negative elements of
the district. More than 20,000 trees have been planted
by the company in street parking; and there, are nu-
merous small parks, at street intersections and else-
where, planted with shrubs, and provided with archi-
tectural adornments such as urns and columns, or
arches. Private parks have also been provided in the
interior sections of certain blocks. Plazas are desig-
nated, where statuary and classic columns are being
erected. The company itself is providing gateways
and ornamental entrances to certain residential neigh-
borhoods, or to small districts; and on some of its
own grounds are sunken, walled and rock gardens,
rustic benches, pools, stone arches, spring houses.

The attention to vacant property, later to be de-
voted to residences, is of special interest. There are
three country clubs within the boundaries of the dis-
trict, and large tracts of vacant property on the bor-
ders of the district have been secured for the purpose
of preventing the encroachment of influences undesir-
able for such a residence district.

Large masses of flower beds are planted on hill-
sides, some small hills being practically covered with
Dorothy Perkins Roses; and in the valleys are large
plantings of Weeping Willows, and fields of Iris and
Sweet William.

Nature Study Facilitated

One enterprise of the Nichols Co. excites the ad-
miration especially. It is the project concerning the
rough wooded tracts which may remain undeveloped

for many years. The company is constructing bridle
patbs and foot trails through these woods. The value
of this enterprise seems almost incalculable, when
the fact is appreciated that the ground so employed
is so conveniently situated as to be available to a
large number of men, women and children, enabling
them to enjoy the delight of walks through undis-
turbed natural woods. It is intended that the con-
venience of these paths shall encourage people to
wander through natural woods, and so get that touch
with Nature which men and women of today may
remember having enjoyed as children. One result
will be that these strollers will always retain the
love for flowers and plants, which the pleasant mo-
ments spent in the woods give them.

In the gardens, parks, and private yards the com-
pany has striven to provide every shrub and tree
that is native to that locality, or that will do well
in this soil and climate. In the undeveloped areas
there is a similar opportunity for providing the nat-
ural flowers and plants of the woods and plains.

Bird Life Encouraged

The company has taken great pains to encourage
care of birds in the district. It bought a carload of
birdhouses at one time, and distributed them at cost.
Two thousand birdhouses were erected in the district
in one year; prizes have at times been offered for
the best birdhouses built by boys in the schools. A
bird authority was brought to Kansas City to lecture.
Information regarding care of birds is being dis-
tributed constantly, in the form of literature of many

Views in the Country Club district, showing preservation of pristine woodland scenery, introduction of classic columnar features, and the
use of urns and similar decorative elements. The small urn in the lower picture represents an important tendency in this district, apply-
ing to grounds and the porches and immediate surroundings of homes. The tendency is also noted in the installation of similar items in

the rooms of houses.

One of the gasoline filling stations in the district — the
filling station company improving its own property with
shrubbery, and maintaining it — a requirement for occu-
pancy of ground in the district. It is said that one
filling station plot in the district, similar to the one
shown above, has been designated as a model by a na-
. tional distributer, for stations in residence districts.

kinds. The chief objective in the encouragement of
bird life is the protection of plants.

Among the services of the company towards keep-
ing the district beautiful, in addition to rubbish re-
moval and sanitary measures, is systematic inspec-
tion every year for diseases and insects in trees,
shrubs and flowers, and many similar advisory helps.
An annual flower show is promoted by the company ;
and a botanical horticultural expert is available to
residents. Prizes are given every year for the best
developed lawns and flower gardens, and for the best
designed flower boxes. Lectures are provided every
year on several subjects related to home improvement

and beautifying.
Bulletins are dis-
tributed frequent-
ly, on flowers and
shrubs, detailed as
to nature and cost.
Community meet-
ings are held,
where inspira-
tional lectures and
pictures are pro-
vided, stimulating
to grounds im-
provement.

The company is-
sues a monthly bul-
letin, circulated to
residents of the
district and to a
selected outside
mailing list, con-
taining information
regarding the dis-
trict, emphasizing
particularly infor-
mation relating to
improvements o f
homes and grounds.
This bulletin is the
means of seasonal

Setting the Pace in Plant Propagation

How P. M. Koster is trying to meet the situation created by Quarantine 37— A story of American-grown Azaleas, Rhododendrons and

Boxwoods, and the latest thing in propagating houses By E. L. D. SEYMOUR

A STORY is told of a foreign plant
grower and exporter who, in the
"good old days" just before Quaran-
tine 37 descended upon us, came to this
country to see if he could prevail upon the
F. H. B. to make a few modifications that
would enable him to continue in business.
The official with whom he discussed the
matter was disarmingly cordial and suave
— but adamant when it came to a question
of lightening the regulations. Finally, in
desperation, his caller, seeing no hope of
relief in that quarter, exclaimed, "Well, I
don't see anything for me to do but pick
up my business, move over here and start
all over again."

"Fine!" the official of the Department is
reported to have replied, "that's just what
we are trying to get you to do."

Whether the tale is fact or fiction, it is
true that at least one foreign nursery busi-
ness has actually migrated to America and
I set out on a generously large scale to try
and provide us with the sort of materials
. which we have long associated with Hol-
t land and Belgium, and which for the last
; three years — as far as new supplies are
i concerned — we have -been practically doing
' without. P. M. Koster. of the old Holland
firm that made the Blue Spruce famous
, is the courageous individual who has
I severed home ties and since become an
, American citizen in order to do his part in
j advancing the interests of American horti-
culture. This story is an attempt to give
a very brief and sketchy idea of what he
is doing and how he is doing it.

That the nature of his enterprise and
the significance of his efforts and results
. to date are not unappreciated in horticul-
. tural circles is indicated by the reception
: accorded him at the dinner recently given
j in his honor in Philadelphia and reported
in The Exchange of March 11. Despite
i the fact that it was hardly necessary to
introduce him to the 75 or more persons
present, Toastmaster Robert Pyle spoke
highly of him as the man who had "crossed
■ the Atlantic 57 times ; who had organized
the Holland Plant Exporters Association
and served as its president until he left
. that country ; who had been chosen by the
Dutch Government to represent it and look
. after its nurserymen's interests just prior
to the enforcing of Qu. 37 ; who had been
for many years a member of the Nether-
> lands Horticultural Council ; and who had
j been detailed to select the site for the Hol-
• land exhibition at the Panama-Pacific Ex-
', position and to exercise general advisory
supervision over it" — none of which points,
however, despite their interest, tell much
about his nursery activities at Bridgeton,
1 N. J., to which we will now devote our-
selves.

How P. M. Koster Came to America

When, about three years ago, Mr. Koster
sized up the situation and found his 'busi-
ness in Holland — a business inherited from
a long line of expert horticultural ances-
tors— pretty well shot to pieces by the war
and with its hopes of renaissance hog-tied
by the then inevitable quarantine, he set
out to see what he could do growing Rhodo-
dendrons, Azaleas, Boxwoods and Roses —
and some hardy Lilies on the side — down
on a little farm in south central New Jer-
sey. He had already found the native
Kalmia growing luxuriantly there and he
figured that the soil and climate must be
suited to the broad-leaved evergreens gen-
erally. In this belief he has already
been greatly strengthened by subsequent
developments. So vigorously and enthu-
siastically he started in, and so definitely
workmanlike and successful were his first
year's efforts — notwithstanding the small
scale on which he was forced to work —
that he soon attracted the attention of C. F.

Seabrook. president of the Seabrook Farms
Co. — a 3000 acre market garden and fruit
enterprise located in Bridgeton. Now this
is, itself, one of the most remarkable estab-
lishments of its kind in the country, but
we can only mention it here in connection
with the fact that in a short time an ar-
rangement had been worked out whereby
Mr. Koster was to move his activities over
onto land adjacent to the Seabrook Farms
and have the use of the exceptional facili-
ties of the farm in the way of horse and
man labor, implements, manure, supplies
and other conveniences on terms that only
the immensity of the Seabrook operations
could render possible.

It is an interesting combination of forces
— the voluntary getting together of two re-
markable men, idealists both in a way, yet
practical idealists, too ; men who have a
vision as to what they want to do and can
do, yet who realize down to the smallest
detail what their plans and hopes and as-
pirations involve. Thus, just as on Sea-
brook Farms every day has its program,
every field its rotation, every possible emer-
gency its already planned solution, so on
Mr. Roster's nursery every detail of soil
management of the arrangement of build-
ings, hotbeds and coldframes, of crop rota-
tion and handling, etc., is being or has been
worked out patiently and accurately on the
basis of a lifetime's experience in Holland
and an exceptional ability to study and ap-
praise the different requirements of this
country and its conditions.

Growing Broad-Leaved Evergreens in
America

What, then, are Mr. Roster's plans?
Briefly, to specialize on a few classes of
nursery stock for which there is a strong
demand and which heretofore have not
been produced commercially in this coun-
try. These include, as already mentioned,
Boxwood. Azaleas, Rhododendrons and
some conifers such as his own Blue Spruce ;
in his experimental work thus far he has
secured excellent results with Privet, climb-
ing and rugosa Roses, auratum Lilies from
seed, and native Laurel dug from the sur-
rounding countryside, moved to the nur-
sery and there trimmed and shaped up for
early sale. However, as his other special-
ties demand more of his time and land, he
will probably discard these simpler, more
ordinary materials. But at no time does
he intend to let the work become so exten-
sive and complex as to prevent intensifica-
tion and specialization.

The land upon which Mr. Koster is de-
veloping his enterprise is a solid rectangu-
lar block bounded on two sides by the main
road to Philadelphia and a tributary high-
way leading into it. The soil, as through
all' that section, is moderately light, free
from stone, delightfully friable, quick to
warm up. generally well-drained, but un-
derlain by "a clay that gives it strength
and moisture holding capacity if rightly
managed. As an illustration, the stock set
out last Spring — including hardwood cut-
tings of Privet and Roses, some 15,000
imported Rhododendrons, and many thou-
sands of Azaleas and young Boxwoods— not

3. Many thousands of these Azaleas, trans-
planted, are now growing in the frames.

the growth made by these plants exceeds
anything which he ever procured in Holland.

Notes from Abroad

Large headlines in the daily news-
papers announced the "Drought Broken"
some weeks ago, when there was a shower
or two of rain hardly sufficient to lay the
dust. At last, however, now that the
papers are silent on the matter, we are
getting some good rains in most parts of
the country, and the drought may be said
to be at an end. What the result will
be on the nascent seed crops cannot yet
be estimated. Some have suffered too
much to be resuscitated, but others will
be given a new lease of life, and we are
looking forward to cheerier reports from
the growing districts.

The rains have already benefited the
outdoor culture of flowers for cutting,
and Sweet Peas are coming on the market
in good quantity and improved quality.
To add variety to the existing selection
we note batches of Achillea, Scabiosa,
Sweet Sultan, Statice and Pyrethrums,
Pot plants are going fairly well, and
among the late comers may be seen Hy-
drangeas, Polyantha Roses, Fuchsias, Vis-
carias and Tradescantias.

The cooperative advertising scheme has
now taken practical shape, and attractive
pictures of luscious Tomatoes and succu-
lent Cucumbers (being converted into the
most toothsome looking salads) decorate
the walls of stores and glare down at the
passengers on railroads and street cars.
We may hope that this whole-hearted en-
deavor to develop the popular taste in
these wholesome esculents will meet with
the success it certainly deserves.

The Horticultural Trades Association
has elected as its new president W. R.
Oldham, who is confidently expected to
maintain the high standard of chairman-
ship set by John Harrison, Jr., during
his term of office. Another change of
leadership is announced to take place in
Kew Gardens, where the long time cura-
tor, W. Watson, is succeeded by W. J.
Bean, who has done considerable botanic
literary work. He is a V. M. H., and
will doubtless make good in his new and
responsible position.

Messrs. Cooper, Taber & Co., Ltd., Lon-
don, England, advise their friends that
their representative, Harry Simpson, ex-
pects to arrive in New York about Aug.
5. His address will be care Messrs. R. J.
Godwin's Sons, Inc., 15 to 25 Whitehall
St., N. Y. City; all correspondence should
be addressed to him there.

New York Seed Trade

Inventories in nearly or quite all of
the seed stores of this city have been
completed. Midsummer general catalogs
and advance Autumn bulb catalogs have
been distributed and the regular Autumn
bulb catalogs are being prepared. Many
employees are now on their annual vaca-
tions. The demand for seasonable goods,
such as lawn requisites, insecticides,
high-class concentrated fertilizers in
small quantities, and other sundries
which the modern seed store offers vege-
table seeds for late planting including
late Celery, Cabbage and Cauliflower, ap-
pears to be unusually large.

S. S. Skidelsky & Co., 53 Park pl„ re-
port that orders for their new Mother's
Carnation are coming in quite freely ;
among its other good qualities its hardi-
ness seems to appeal to many.

Robert W. MacNiff, president of the
MacNiff Horticultural Co., 196 Wash-
ington St., remarked to us this week
that this was an unusual season, there
still being a considerable sale of flower-
ing and bedding plants, concentrated fer-
tilizers, and sundries.

Vaughan's Seed Store, 41-43 Barclay
St., reports that advance orders for bulbs
are keeping the office force busy, and that

counter sales for July are excellent. Ed-
ward Boylan, store manager, is now on
his vacation, taking a much needed rest
in the Catskill Mountains.

In Peter Henderson & Co.'s show win-
dows at 35-37 Cortlandt St., there are
displays of lawn mowers and of garden
vegetable seeds for late planting.

At F. Rynveld &. Sons, 61 Vesey st.,
preparations are being made to handle
the first shipment of Paperwhite Narcissi,
their French office having advised them
to expect an early lot within the next
few days. News comes from their Hol-
land office that the preparation of early
forcing Hyacinths is under way and that
shipments may be expected early in Aug.

Chicago Seed Trade

A. Miller of the American Bulb Co. is
contemplating a trip to France and Hol-
land to look into the bulb situation there.
He has already secured his passports, but
as yet has not picked his sailing date.

J. C. Yaughan of Vaughan's Seed Store
attended the annual convention of the
Texas State Floral Society at Dallas the
past week and was one of the speakers.

The first rain in about five weeks came
Sunday, July S. The Onion set crops
were suffering severely from drought
as well as the Corn crop all
through the State. While New England
and some of the Eastern States have been
complaining of a remarkably wet June, it
will go on record in Chicago as having
been one of the driest in the history of
the weather bureau.

A. Henderson & Co. report a good de-
mand for Winter flowering Sweet Pea
seed, Cyclamens and Pansies. S. Dernir
son, who represented the house at the
Texas State Convention at Dallas, re-
ports good business there.

The advance in the price of Paperwhite
Narcissi by the French growers is a mat-
ter of much importance to local import-
ers. The chief problem that confronts
the dealers is not, however, the raise in
price, but the question, will the growers
use them at the increased price? Several
of the houses whose salesmen have sold
on a commission basis will feel the ad-
vance keenly.

Louisville Seed Trade

Kentucky is the largest domestic pro-
ducer of two of the prominent grass seeds,
namely Blue Grass and Orchard Grass
seeds. Blue Grass crop reports indicate
a crop of about 850,000 bushels, which
should cure and clean out about 60 per
cent from stripped seed.

There have been several false starts
in forming a strong Blue Grass growers
pool to hold the seed for better prices,
but after getting seed signed up, it was
found that the contracts were misworded,
and the first effort was abandoned. How-
ever, jobbers were slow in buying seed;
cleaners preferred to let the farmers carry
the seed, and prices were around $1 a
bushel to the farmer for raw seed, mak-
ing 21 pound seed in a jobbing way at
around 19e. and 21c; and 19 pound seed
at 17c. and 19c.

During the past few days, the cleaners
have been buying practically no seed, and
the growers have organized on the same
basis as the Barley growers, under a
pooling law enacted at the last session
of the legislature. A press report from
Winchester, Ky., July 7, reads:

'NTew contracts of the Cooperative Blue
Grass Marketing Association, represent-
ing more than 400,000 bushels of Blue
Grass seed, were signed here this after-
noon at a meeting of the committeemen
from five counties. The committeemen
will meet here Monday morning to file ar-
ticles of incorporation and a meeting of
the incorporators and signers will be held
Wednesday in Lexington. At the Lexing-

KENILWORTH GIANT PRIZE. I have improved this strain by selecting and saving
seed from the best shaped flowers of the most gorgeous color for many years. It is of the
blocked Masterpiece type. The plants distinguish themselves by their robust growth
and healthy-looking foliage; they are deep rooted and stand the hot, dry weather better
than most other varieties. The large flowers on long, thick stems are carried well above
the foliage in the most graceful manner, are of enormous size and of good substance. The
petals are exceedingly broad and cover each other in such a manner as to make the flowers
appear almost double. The border of each petal being conspicuously undulated and
curled, the gorgeous and varied colored blossoms of velvety texture, perfect form and giant,
size, frequently measuring 3};> inches in diameter; the ground color such as yellow, white
deep orange, mahogany brown, bronze blue, and endless variations. Most petals are beau-
tifully marked with a large blotch, a few are self-colored. They are specially fine for
planting under glass or outside for cut flowers at all seasons. Tr. pkt., 60c; H oz., $1.35;
K oz., S2.60; l/2 oz., $5.00; 1 oz., S10.00; 4 ozs., $35.00.

KENILWORTH GIANT EXHIBITION is the very finest complete mixture ever sent out.
Seed carefully saved only from marked plants of the best varieties, with the largest and
best shaped flowers and richest coloring. It is impossible to convey an adequate idea of
the delightful variations in color and markings of this unrivaled mixture. Tr. pkt.,
60c; H oz., $1.35; ^4 oz., $2.60; H oz., $5.00; 1 oz., $10.00; 4 ozs., $35.00.

TRIMARDEAU GIANT PANSY, improved; it is far superior to the ordinary run of Trimar-
deau that is sold. It is a very showy class of vigorous, compact growth. Flowers of enor-
mous size in all the self colors, blocked, striped, margined, etc. It is very doubtful if any
other Pansy will give as good satisfaction as the improved Trimardeau for all general pur-
poses. Tr. pkt., 35c; H oz., 75c; % oz„ 81.35; % oz., $2.60; 1 oz., $5.00; 4 oz., $18.00.

PRINCESS, the New Upright Pansy. This strain is entirely distinct from all others.
It is absolutely compact, upright growing. The flowers are mostly blotched and frilled like
the Masterpiece, of good form and heavy velvety texture, on heavy stems, carried well
above the foliage. Attractive by the brilliancy of its colors. Tr. pkt., 40c; >s oz., 90c;
H oz., $1.65; H oz., $3.10; 1 oz., S6.00.

GIANT KENILWORTH STRAIN. The flowers are of perfect form and substance; many
of the immense Sowers are 3-inch. It is a striking collection of beautiful colors and mark-
ings, rich with shades of red, brown, bronze, mahogany and many others too numerous to
mention. Light, medium or dark mixtures. Tr. pkt., 40c; >jj oz., 90c; 3i oz-t $1.65;
H oz., $3.10; 1 oz., $6.00; 4 ozs., $21.50.

GIANT KENILWORTH SHOW is undoubtedly the largest flowered Pansy in the world!
the immense flowers are of circular form. A beautiful collection of colors and markings-
Tr. pkt., 45c; H oz., $1.10; >£ oz., $2.00; lA oz., $3.80; 1 02., $7.50; 4 ozs., $27.00.

GIANT KENILWORTH CUT FLOWER MIXTURE, Is a distinct class by itself, sur-
passing all other strains as a cut flower for inside or outside growing; the large flowers are
carried erect above the foliage on heavy stems, 6 or 7 inches long, in the most graceful
manner, and stand the hot, dry weather well. Tr. pkt., 45c; H °z., §1-10; 3-jt oz., $2.00;
3^ oz., $3.80; 1 oz., $7.50; 4 ozs., $27.00.

GIANT MASTERPIECE. A remarkable type, the curled wavy petals
giving the flower a double appearance; large flowers of great substance
on long strong stems. Tr. pkt., 45c; li oz., $1.10; H oz., $2.00; I2 oz.,
S3.S0; 1 oz., $7.50; 4 ozs., $27.00.

GIANT TREE AND FIVE BLOTCHED PANSIES. A superb mix-
ture. Flowers large and of circular form and of great substance. The
display of coloring is unsurpassed. A combination of almost every shade
of rich, velvety colors; reds are particularly conspicuous, the petals being
distinctly marked with three or five large, dark blotches. Tr. pkt., 40c;
H oz., 90c; H oz., $1.65; H oz., $3.10; 1 oz., $6.00; 4 ozs., $21.50.

GIANT PARISIAN. The flowers are of enormous size and beautifully
marked, mostly five dark blotches on white and yellow ground; an unusually
showy mixture. Tr/pkt., 40c; H oz., 90c; )£ oz., $1.65; H oz., $3.10;
1 oz., $6.00; 4 ozs., $21.50.

GIANT BRONZE. A fine mixture of all shades of velvety brown bronze,
Havana brown, mahogany and copper shades. Tr. pkt., 40c; H oz.,
90c; H oz., $1.65; lA oz.t $3.10; 1 oz., $6.00; 4 ozs., $21.50.

TRIUMPH OF GIANT. Remarkably beautiful. The imposing five-
spotted flowers on long, vigorous stalks surmount the foliage in the most
graceful manner, are of enormous size, perfectly round and of unusual
substance. The individual petals are very broad and cover each other
in such a manner as to make the flowers appear almost double, the border
of every petal being conspicuously curled. The plants are of a robust
growth and form compact bushes of a round shape. Tr. pkt., 40c; 3^ oz.,
90c; H oz., $1.65; H oz., $3.10; 1 oz., $6.00; 4 ozs., $21.50.

$2.00; ?2 oz., $3.80; 1 oz., $7.50.

ORCHID-FLOWERED, Mixed. A dwarf, free bloomer, with a range
of delicate colors that do not exist in any other Pansies; a remarkable
combination of light rose, shell pink, blush mauve, fawn, light brown,
orange and chamois. Tr. pkt., 35c; ?s oz., 75c; \i' oz., $1.35; I2 oz.,
$2.60; 1 oz., $5.00; 4 ozs., $18.00.

New Early Flowering Giant Pansies

They are three to four weeks earlier than other
Pansies, in colclfram.es or field; they have four or
five large blossoms, when other Pansies planted
at the same time are only showing bud. The
richly colored, large, well formed flowers, on long,
stiff stems, are very fragrant.

ton meeting officers and directors will be
elected.

The Orchard Grass growers at La-
grange, Ky., also formed a growers pool,
and became incorporated, but have aban-
doned the pool, as it was discovered that
it would cost more to clean, grade, hold
and carry the stock than the increased
profit is worth, as a result of European
seed coming in strong last year at around
$2 a bushel. Checks were mailed back to
the orchard growers and the pool aban-
doned. Threshed Orchard Grass is re-
ported to be worth about $1 a bushel to
the farmer. A. W. W.

Philadelphia Seed Trade

The sale of seeds is mostly confined to
such vegetables as Turnips, Radishes, En-
dive, Kale, Beans, Corn, etc., with some
call for Celery plants and late Cabbage.

The Moore Seed Co. reports a good sale
of insecticides and some late Corn and
Beans.

Henry F. Michell Co. notes a big demand
for Grape bags. This firm also reports
a general demand above the average for
this time of year. A recent visitor was
Mrs. Wm. E. Murrah, Augusta, Ga.

L. C. Hoopes of the vegetable seed de-
partment of Michell's is making field tests
of some 400 or 500 varieties of vegetable,
seeds at the trial grounds at Andalusia,
Pa. Varieties include Beet, Cabbage,
Endive, Lettuce, Radish, Carrot, Celery,
Onion, Parsley, Pepper, Beans, Peas,
Corn, etc. These field trials are supple-
mented at the Chestnut st. establishment
by the blotter germination machine tests.
Particular attention is given to the test-
ing of all seeds for germination, habit
and trueness to type.

J. Otto Thilow of Dreer's returned July
10 from Richmond, Va., where he was
helping his mother celebrate her 89th
birthday anniversary.

The I. N. Simon Co. reports a fair store
trade, with considerable business in out-
side shipments, particularly in the South.

Seed Imports

S. S. Bayern, arriving in New York
from Hamburg, July 7, carried in her
cargo 10 bags of Turnip seed for F. W.
Belgiar.

S. S. United States, arriving in New
York, July 6, from Copenhagen, Denmark,
carried in her cargo 20 bags of seed for
the Judson Freight Forwarding Co.; 2
bags of garden seed for F. B. Vandegrift
& Co.; 15 bags of Cabbage seed for
Northrup, King Co., and 1 bag of grass
seed for the Scandinavian Seed Co.

Where Express Charges Go

Terms of New Contract Approved by
Railroads

A majority of the railroad companies
represented in the Association of Railway
Executives have approved the new con-
tract with the American Railway Express
Co., recently submitted, and it _ is felt
that the disapproving minority will come
into line before the arrangement goes into
effect, March 1, 1923. The alternative is
for the dissenting roads (which include
the New York Central, Wabash, Kansas
City Southern, D. and H. and Denver and
Salt Lake) to form independent express
companies or to inaugurate fast freight
service. With the exception of the South-
eastern Express Co., which serves the
Southern Ry. and the Mobile and Ohio,
the American Railway Express Co., is the
only handling concern in operation.

The principal changes in the new con-
tract, which, it is estimated, will add
about $10,000,000 annually to the railroad
revenues, are involved in the following
' terms :

1. The contract gives to all railways
which move express matter in carload
lots 85 per cent of the revenues from such
traffic.

2. The railways are given a larger voice
in determining what expenses the express
company should incur.

3. When the return to the express com-
pany exceeds 6 per cent on property in-
vestment, the excess shall be divided
equally between the railroads and the
company. If the return exceeds 8 per
cent, the division shall be on a basis of
75 per cent to the railroads and 25 per
cent to the express company.

Catalogs Received

Watkins&Simpson, Ltd.,Drury Lane, London,
England. — Special wholesale list of vegetable and
flower seeds for Summer and Fall sowing. Em-
braces a very extensive list of greenhouse and gar-
den flower seeds, both perennial and biennial. We
note that prices of some seeds are lower than those
prevailing in the general Spring Catalog. Among
the many interesting things offered is Lilium
Sulphur-gale hybrids; this is a hybrid between L.
regale and L. sulphureum.

C. Keur & Sons, Hillegom, Holland — The
American address of this firm is 5625 Mosholu
Ave., New York City. The catalog is devoted to
bulbs and plants grown by the firm and is strictly
wholesale. All kinds of Holland bulbs are offered
in variety; descriptions are brief and prices are in
American currency. "We note many kinds of mis-
cellaneous bulbs, including Scillas, Gladioli, Ane-
mones, Ranunculus, Iris, etc. How happy many
would be if they could get them without "any red
tape routine.

Reasoner Bros., Oneco, Fla. — Tropical Plant-
ing Book. Remarkable for the variety of subjects
offered and the delightful pictures which indicate
how marvelously all the palms and other things
we in the East can only grow under glass, thrive
at Oneco. Reasoner Bros, cater largely to the
retail trade, and a little- story, "The Reformation
of Hiram Billings," is one of the means used in
the catalog to boost their landscape department.
Lots of suggestions as to planting, etc., are given
while the pictures make us, oh, so envious! Im-
agine Azalea indica about 12ft. through on your
front lawn, or a Clerodendron (not Clerodendrum,
Mr. Cook) Thomsonae on your house front, to say
nothing of gloriosa superba. Happy Floridians
who can have the plants of India, Africa, Aus-
tralia, etc., along with those of more temperate
regions. One wonders, however, whether the
"bugs" are more troublesome than in New Jersey
or New York. The index at the back of the cata-
log is wonderfully comprehensive.

R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co., White Marsh,
Md. — July wholesale price list featuring ferns,
Begonias, Coleus, Cannas, Geraniums, etc.

John Hoogensteyn & Sons, Bennebroek,
Haarlem, Holland — Special offering of choice
strains of florists' flower seeds, iucluding Cyclamen,
Begonias, Cinerarias, Primulas, etc. Prices are
quoted in American currency.

. C. Stoldt, Cyclamen Specialist, Wandsbek,
Germany — Special price list in American currency
of Cyclamen seed in variety. Several excellent
illustrations indicate that this grower produces
some extra fine stock and grows Cyclamen in large
quantities. Rose of Wandsbek, Wonder of Wands-
bek Giant White and other varieties are illus-
trated.

Seed Expert Visits Europe

Washington, D. C. — Edgar Brown,
botanist in charge of the seed testing
laboratory of the Bureau of Plant In-
dustry, has left for Europe to visit the
more important European seed testing sta-
tions to collect information not now avail-
able, which will be helpful in connection
with suggested amendments to the seed
importation act. The differential color-
ing of imported seed is one of the sub-
jects to be investigated. He will also
confer with officials of various European
stations in regard to methods of analysis,
as well as their application, in order to
bring about uniform results of tests in
accordance with the plans outlined by the
international seed testing congress held
last June at Copenhagen, with the ob-
ject of placing arbitration resulting from
international trade in seeds on a more
satisfactory basis. C. L. L.

Paperwhites

It is reported that the Hollanders are
buying the French Paperwhites freely.
Maybe they think the buying up high
priced French bulbs will benefit the sales
of Holland bulbs and repay them, even
if they cannot find buyers for the French
stock. Considering the average price of
the flowers it scarcely seems possible that
florists will plunge on Paperwhites. In
any case, America is about the only real
market for the bulbs, but it will soon
cease to be so if prices stand so high as
to encourage the Florida and Texas grow-
ers to go ahead and make bulb growing a
real business.

Iris Bulbs from California

It is reported that on acount of the re-
tarded growth of the bulbs this year, due
to the frost which visited California last
January, many growers will not be able
to fill orders for Iris bulbs this season.

Express Rates Under Investigation

The Interstate Commerce Commission
announces that it is to start an immediate
investigation of existing express rates in
all parts of the country. It is remarked
that although freight rates were cut 10'
per cent on July 1, express charges were
still at the high 1920 levels, and numerous
complaints of this situation have been
received by the Commission.

The Florists' Exchange

Week at the Capital

B? CLARENCE L. LINZ

B. P. I. Expert on the Road

F. L. Mulford, of the Bureau of Plant
Industry, attended the annual meeting of
the American Peony Society at London,
Ontario, last month, where he explained
the work of the cooperative Peony test
garden at Arlington, Va. Following the
conference, Mr. Mulford went to Ithaca,
N. Y, to inspect the Rose test garden and
make Rose studies.

Dutch Flowers to England by 'Plane

Information that Dutch florists have
adopted the expedient of making daily
shipments of flowers to the London mar-
ket by aeroplane has been received by the
Department of Commerce from Trade
Commissioner Howard W. Adams at The
Hague. The flowers are cut at night,
packed early the next morning, and sent
by motor ear from Boskoop flower-grow-
ing district to the Waalhaven aerodrome
near Rotterdam. They arrive at Croy-
don, England, at 1.30 p.m., and from there
are dispatched by motor car to the Lon-
don florists. Boskoop flowers are thus
put on sale simultaneously in the London
and Dutch shops. About 100 kilograms of
flowers per day are to be transported in
this way.
Welsh Plant Breeder Visiting Us

R. G. Stapledon, professor of agricul-
tural botany, in the University College of
Wales at Aberystywyth, and plant breed-
er of the Welsh plant breeding station at
that institution, arrived in Washington on
June 5, expecting to spend between nine
and ten weeks in the United States and to
sail from Montreal, Can., Aug. 12. This
visit will be devoted to the study of
plant breeding methods and methods of
conducting experiments with field crops
throughout the eastern half of the coun-
try.

While in Washington Professor Staple-
don spent his time with tVie various spe-
cialists in the offices and at Arlington
farm. He then left for the agricultural
experiment stations at Knoxville, Tenn.,
Lexington, Ky., Columbia, Mo., Manhat-
tan, Kansas, and Ames, Iowa, after which
he proceeded to Montreal, Can., to attend
a scientific meeting that began June 26.
Following this meeting he began a tour of
numerous experiment stations in the
northern States from New York to Min-
nesota, and is. the adjacent Canadian
Provinces.

Continued Business Improvement

Thirty-eight out of forty-two industries
for which reports have been received by
the Department of Commerce showed
greater activity in May than in April.
Prices showed the greatest increase for
any month in more than two years, for-
ward orders are increasing, and business
again presents a picture of prosperity.

However, this optimistic report, Mr.
Hoover points out, should not be taken
to indicate that dangerous times are past.
"In the past it has been the excesses of
the prosperity period that have been re-
sponsible for the depth of the depression
that has followed. The present is no
time to discard the caution the recent
period of depression has taught."

Prices on the average have not fallen
below about 40 per cent over the pre-
war level. They are now nearly 50 per
cent above that level. No one knows at
what level they will finally become sta-
bilized, but it is believed that care should
be used in placing large forward orders
for raw materials at prices much above
the present level. The coal difficulties,
which are now in their fourteenth week,
have so far caused little inconvenience,
but the huge industrial stocks are rapidly
dwindling. If this should continue much
longer there will be transportation diffi-
culties which may prevent a steady flow of
coal to industrial establishments even after
mining is resumed. Labor difficulties on
the railroads would still further compli-
cate this situation.
_ On the other hand, fundamental condi-
tions in this country are for the most part
favorable. The agricultural situation is
particularly good, and the construction
industry, having the biggest boom ever
known, is carrying with it a large num-
ber of contributing industries. Employ-
ment has reached a point where scarcity
of men is reported at some points. The
financial situation is favorable, with

abundant money available at low rates of
interest. So far there is no evidence that
this is being used for inflation purposes.
With due care in the exercise of business
judgment the period of prosperity can be
extended without the corresponding ex-
cesses so evident in 1919 and the early
part of 1920.

Better Employment Conditions

A decided increase in employment
throughout the country in June (amount-
ing to 3.2 per cent) is shown by figures
just made public by the United States Em-
ployment Service, compiled from reports
from special agents in 355 principal indus-
trial centers. The survey shows that ap-
proximately 179,328 people returned to
work in various industries throughout the
country in. June, and it is estimated that
not more than 20,000 employees were fur-
loughed, most of whom were in seasonal
occupations.

"The country is steadily but surely forg-
ing its way* toward a period of industrial
prosperity in which it is possible that the
labor supply will not equal the demand,"
declares Francis I. Jones, Director Gen-
eral of the Employment Service. "As
contrasted with opinion six months ago,
the note of optimism pervades practically
every industry in every section of the
country."

entertainment committee and at an or-
ganization meeting, a number of sub-
committee chairmen were named. Her-
bert Sauber was selected to head the
athletic committee; Adolph E. Gude, the
refreshments committee; Mrs. George
Cooke, the ladies' committee; David G.
Grillbortzer, finance; Albert C.' Schnell,
of the Leo Niessen Co., tickets; and D.
E. Blaeki stone, entertainment.

Following the selection of the commit-
tee chairmen, each of whom will select
the members of his committee, the various
individuals were invited to give a prelimi-
nary of their plans. Mr. Sauber promised
a number of unique events for the ath-
letic tournament, and Adolph E. Gude said
that he knew where some very good "eats"
could be had, and promised rather an
elaborate menu. Additional meetings of
the various sub-committees and a full an-
nouncement of their plans have been prom-
ised shortly.

The visitors' list last week included
Mrs. C. E. Henslee of Chattanooga, Tenn.;
and G. Van Lindley of Van Lindley and
Co., Greensboro, North Carolina.

The Market

The usual Summer dullness is re-
ported at the local wholesale and retail
flower shops. The shortage of flowers
which prevailed all through the month of
June has largely been overcome by the
dropping off of trade. There are now
plenty of Gladioli to be had at prices that
depend on quantity purchase and quality
of stock, running from $4 per 100 to $10
per 100, with the average price about $8.

There are plenty of Roses on the market
to meet the general demand that now
comes to the wholesale houses. The stores
are now buying very heavily of Roses
and the business is somewhat dull except
when there are a number of funerals
about the same time. Carnations- are
about all gone now, but such as do come
in find sale for funeral work. White Car-
nations in particular are in demand and
the price hovers around $2 per 100.

There is plenty of miscellaneous stock
such as Phlox, Shasta Daisies, Zinnias
and similar flowers, but these sell only
in very limited quantities.

News Notes

Grace Bauer, daughter of Otto
Bauer, manager of the local establishment
of the S. S. Pennoek Co., is convalescing,
following her recent illness. Little Miss
Bauer was the victim of a rather severe
attack of typhoid fever, which ran for
quite a number of weeks. She is now
able to be up and around her home.

Mrs. Adolph E. Gude spent the week-
end at Ocean City, Md.

O. A. C. Oehmler, president of the
local florist club is week-ending at Colonial
Beach.

Mr. and Mrs. William Baggott are
spending a two weeks' vacation at Colonial
Beach, Va. Mr. Baggott is connected with
the store of A. Gude Sons, Co.

Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Sauer are making
a rather extensive automobile tour through
eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
They expect to spend some time at Atlan-
tic City during the convention of the
Elks. Upon the conclusion of the con-
vention, they propose to go to New York
Citv to look over the flower shops there.

Wilb'am Kirk of the Dupont Flower
Shop has gone home. When Kirk says
"home" he means England, for he has
p"one across to near London to spend the
Summer with his relatives. To date, this
is apparently the champion vacation trip
noted in Washington.

Granville Gude, son of Mr. and Mrs.
William F. Gude, is making quite a name
for himself in local rowing circles. On
July 4 he rowed in Philadelphia as a
member of the Potomac Boat Club. Mrs.
Gude and her two daughters, the Misses
Amelia and Wilhelmina Gude, went to
Philadelphia with Granville in their new
Hudson automobile. From Philadelphia
they went to Atlantic City for a ten day
stay.

The various committees of the Florist
Club of Washington, D. C, are getting
their plans under way for the annual out-
ing of the club, which will be held at
Great Falls, Va., on July 27. George C.
Shaffer has been made chairman of the

The Market

July S. — Flowers for funerals and
sick rooms were the life of business in
New Orleans this week. Although busi-
ness is everything that can be expected
for this particular season of the year,
there has been but limited activity among
the trade during the week.' This slow
down of trade is due to the large num-
ber of people leaving the city for the
various resorts along the Gulf Coast and
to the North, the absence of social func-
tions because of this exodus, and the pas-
sage of the business from June wed-
dings. .

Home grown flowers make up the ma-
jority of sales during the week. Be-
cause of the extremely hot weather, it
is becoming more and more difficult to
secure shipped flowers in first-class con-
dition and to preserve them for the nec-
essary length of time. Home grown stock
is hardier than the imported flowers and
the loss from handling this class of stock
is much less.

Dealers are, as a rule, buying in small
lots and ordering often, thus cutting loss
to a minimum. Most retailers report
ample stock on hand but few intimate
that they are overbought. Therefore the
slow season has been contemplated and
stocks have been cut accordingly.

Roses, tuberoses and Gladioli compose
the bulk of the stock disposed of and
are about the only flowers that have any
demand except those which^ are used for
funeral work and trimming boxes. And
practically all of these lots come from
the local nurseries. The Radiance Rose,
both in pink and red, makes beautiful
corsages when combined with the Valley
and fern and is used extensively for go-
ing away gifts. These flowers bring from
$1.50 to' $2 per doz. and are easily within
the reach of any .prospective buyer. The
Tuberoses make up beautifully in com-
bination in floral designs and are like-
wise used extensively in home decora-
tion. Those now on the market are very
hardy and of lasting qualities.

The Gladioli retailing now at from $2
to $2.50 per doz. are good stock and in
large demand 'with enough on hand to sup-
ply the demand but to no excess. These
are carried for general use and there-
fore have a wide field of sales. The
home grown variety has nearly lived its
day, however, and the season will soon
be over, when only the later blooms from
the North will be available.

The Carnation supply is coming in
slow now and the season as far as New
Orleans is concerned is about finished.
The flowers which do arrive are of in-
ferior grades, very small and poor. For-
tunately for the florists who do handle
them, there is hardly any call so that
delayed and canceled orders from the
growers do nothing to hurt their busi-
ness.

The home-grown Asters are becoming
quite a factor on the market, although
the demand is only fair. They will, nev-
ertheless, serve as a starter in that line,
and by the time the shipments begin
from Chicago, which are expected in
about the first of August, the public lik-
ing for them will have increased con-
siderably. Lily of the Valley is kept by
all florists in case of calls for wedding
bouquets and is likewise used for trim-
ming purposes.

The Peony crop which dominated the
market for some time, is about over, and
those that come in are hard to keep.
Florists are finding no trouble in se-
curing all of the fern needed for their
purposes.

News Notes

Charles Eble. Florist, during the
first part of the week had a huge basket
of scarlet Montbretia placed in his win-
dow amid a beautiful collection of ferns
and potted plants. This brilliant dash of
color added just the right touch of cheer-
fulness and oddity to the display to at-
tract the attention of the passersby, large
numbers of whom stopped to gaze and
admire. The Montbretia is quite a nov-
elty display flower, and is something
new on the market.

J. C. Nielson with the American Bulb
Co. and Poehlmann Bros., Chicago, spent
the greater part of the week in New
Orleans.

Scheinuk Adds Many Improvements

Approximately $30,000 is being
spent by Scheinuk The Florist, 2602 St.
Charles ave., in improving his plant and
shop, all of which indicates that busi-
ness with him is everything but dull. A
modern appartment is being built above
his present store. A new Koescell re-
frigerating machine has just been in-
stalled in the modernized work room and
a refrigerating box measuring 12ft. by
10ft. has been added.

In a new nursery recently added, there
have been planted 11,000 Roses, prac-..
tically all of which are pink Radiance.
In addition to the Rose planting, there
are in the new nursery. 15,000 Gladioli,
5000 Tuberoses, 10,000 Dahlias, and
many Zinnias. In order to take care of
this additional output of flowers Mr.
Scheinuk has built two new greenhouses,
23ft.x90ft. and 12ft.xl20ft. in size re-
spectively.

There are now being cut from the new
crop about 1000 Roses daily, besides a
lot of Gladioli and Tuberoses. The sup-
ply of flowers is ample to take care of
Mr. Scheinuk's retail trade at the .pres-
ent time, and much of the output is sold
wholesale to other florists in New Or-
gans, c. J. M.

Savannah, Ga.

Retail trade at present writing is rather
quiet. The wedding month is behind ua
and it was a good one.

Roses form our principal stock juat
now. Glads, are mostly over. Carnations
have been thrown out and the houses are
being put in shape for replanting.

A. W. Richardson is off on a vacation.

Lynchburg, Va.

Miss ^MeCarron, "Lynchburg's Favorite
Florist," has recently increased her green-
house growing facilities. As there was
not sufficient space at 1715 Liberty st.
for new houses, Miss McCarron purchased
several acres of land on Memorial ave.,
and new houses there have been erected
by the Lord & Burnham Co.. In these
houses she specializes in Roses, Carna-
tions, Snapdragon, Peas, Swainsonia,
Chrysanthemums, Easter Lilies and mis-
cellaneous blooming plants. On the
grounds outdoors just now she is cutting
Gladioli, Sweet Peas, Delphinium, Phlox,
Summer Lilac, Hydrangeas, Asters and
Dahlias.

Post Office Notice

The post office has again drawn atten-
tion to those concerned to the fact that
many catalogs are sent abroad insuffi-
ciently stamped and with neglect to pay

SPRINGFIELD
CARNATION FOOD

FORFWORT1 • *n °ffer'nS this Carnation Food to the wholesale growers and amateur
r WlVd ff vRl/ . floriculturists we do so with the conviction that you will find in its
use the same gratifying results obtaining in our own greenhouses.

Cooperating with the American Chemical Specialties Co., Inc., of
Elizabeth, N. J., we combined the thorough scientific knowledge of
the exacting chemists with our own wide practical experience in
perfecting a food that would meet the requirements of Carnations
in every detail. After exhaustive experiments we offer this Carna-
tion Food to you, not as the usual fertilizer, but rather as the ultra
finished plant food, adapted essentially for Carnations.

Springfield Carnation Food is a compound in which the elements
of fertility are so blended that a portion of the plant foods are pre-
sented to the roots in soluble form, ready for immediate assimilation.
Others are less quickly available. The various organic constituents
becoming gradually available as the soil bacteria convert them to
an available condition.

This Carnation Food is not a chemical stimulant, but rather an

evenly balanced, ideal organic diet. It invigorates the root action
and produces a natural growth, not a soft, fleshy one; hence the
stem and calyx are strengthened in all seasons, the lasting quality of
the flowers lengthened and the color intensified.

It is essentially a food of health, vitality and productiveness.

Analysis:

Total phosphoric acid 8. to 8.75 %

Available phosphoric acid 3.25 to 3.5 %

Insoluble phosphoric acid 4.75 to 5.25%

Nitrogen 1.97 to 2.26%

Equal to ammonia 2.4 to 2.75%

Potash 3.5 to 4. %

As an organic food every particle is of value to the plant. The
analysis simply shows that which is immediately available.

Snapdragons

For Winter Blooming

You can plant out Snapdragons in a
bench or solid bed almost any time of
the year and grow them into a paying
crop, but of course to have them come
in a little out of season, means better
returns. The average florist, however,
can't always plant just at the right mo-
ment and many use Snapdragons mainly
as a crop to follow Chrysanthemums. For
that purpose, nice plants, such as are in
2Y2 or 3s and have been pinched once,
should be ready by October 1, or a little
after that date. This means to sow seed
now. There are some excellent strains of
American origin which now come almost
true from seed and are especially adapted
for indoor culture. Snapdragons are
rather slow when in the seedling stage
and it is best to sow in flats and care-
fully transplant when large enough to
handle. Pot up later and carry in a
light, airy house or in a frame until
wanted for planting out.

Calendulas

For Indoor Flowering

With the average florist, Calendulas are
in demand from October on up to Memo-
rial Day and those who can produce good
double flowers on long stems for their own
retail trade, hardly ever experience
trouble in disposing of them at a good
price. For late Fall flowering, seed
should be sown around the 15th of July.
This can be done in a coldframe; the
seedlings potted up later, ready to be
benched or what is still better, planted
in solid beds by the early part of Sep-
tember. Calendulas want to be grown
cool and must be in a rich, yet well
drained soil if you want large flowers and
good stems. If you only grow on a few
hundred or even less, it will pay you to
shift the plants later on out of the 2%s
into 3%s, and pinch them back once;
this will give you better stock for plant-
ing out. Look out for greenfly. Keep
the plants sprayed regularly; if this is
neglected, this pest will get a foothold
and is hard to remove later on. From
October 1 on, a house of about 45 deg.
is plenty warm enough for Calendulas and
the plants will flower all Winter. It
pays to make several sowings.

Freesias

From Christmas to Easter

When we talk about Freesias, ap-
proaching Fall isn't far off and it won't
be long before the time is here to look
for the first shipment of Paperwhites and
Romans. Freesias are! becoming more
and more important to the florist; they
are among the most useful and easiest
handled of all the crops we grow or force
under glass during the Winter months
and we are no longer confined to the
white flowered variety. Quite a number
of pleasing shades have been introduced
to give us a fine assortment. It is a little
early yet to start to plant, but in just
a few days, the first lot of the larger
sized bulbs can be planted into 4in. pots
and placed in a coldframe outdoors where,
with a little shade and keeping the soil
fairly moist, they will slowly start into
growth and can either be grown on in
the pots or planted out on a bench to
follow early 'Mums. Those extra early
ones will flower around Christmas. Eight
now plan on how many you are going to
plant to supply you with flowers from
December on up to Easter; you will have
good use for them every day during that
time, the white as well as the colored
varieties.

Annuals

For Fall Flowering

. Around the tenth of July, a last sow-
ing may be made of quite a few annuals
to flower outdoors in Fall. You may not
get a great deal out of some; on the other
hand, with favorable weather and a fair
demand for stock, flowers you cut during

Echinocystis lobata (Wild Cucumber) airing itself on a hedge

Wild Cucumber

Here we have the Wild Cucumber or
wild Balsam Apple, Echinocystis lobata,
which has also been called by the poetic
name of Dutchman's Breeches, because
the inner membrane of the seedpot does
somewhat resemble the pictures of the
boys in wooden shoes. It is one of the
rankest and readiest of annual climbers,
and frankly it is one of the prettiest.

In fact, it is almost too ready to please.
In good soil it easily becomes a weed and
not infrequently it has to be restrained
or rooted out altogether. The botanies

give its natural range as from New Bruns-
wick to Manitoba and south to Texas,
which is a generous distribution and in-
dicates that it is much at home in all
these parts.

The Wild Cucumber is never better sat-
isfied with itself than when running over
an old brush pile or an old stone fence.
Its best garden use is in covering quickly
old and ugly board fences or outbuildings.
Sometimes it can be run on a light trellis
over a back porch where it will thrive in
the sun and give a welcome shade.

Frank A. Waugh.

October may come in very handy. Sum-
mer Larkspur, Salpiglossis, Candytuft,
miniature Sunflowers, Calendulas, Calliop-
sis, Marigolds, Zinnias, Cosmos, Scabiosa,
Clarkia and others, all can be sown now
and should be at their best during late
September and early October. It doesn't
cost much to purchase a liberal sized
packet of each. Sow the seed in rows
outdoors; if the seed is not sown too
deep and the soil is fairly moist, it will
germinate in a few days and all the plants
require after that is cultivation. At
present, you may not have much use for
any of these flowers named, or don't find
much money in handling them; toward
the end of September and early October,
however, things usually change and it
will pay any retail grower to have a nice
display of socalled garden flowers on
hand, if for no other reason than that of
making a show.

Housing Carnations

With fair sized stock in the field and
the benches ready, there isn't anything
one can do better than to house the plants;

the sooner the better. You can keep
your plants when once benched, wet or
dry, pinch them several times or let them
bloom, for you have control over things,
which is not the case outdoors. The size
of plants you grow outdoors isn't nearly
as important as to get the stock estab-
lished inside as early as possible. We
all know there are excellent Carnations
grown today entirely under glass, both
in benches and on solid beds and whether
we have to go through a rainy or dry
season matters but little to such plants,
while such conditions make a great deal
of difference to stock in the field. The
longer you have it outside, the more
chance you run in obtaining plants either
too hard, due to a dry season, or over-
grown, due to too much rain. You can't
start housing if you are not ready; there
is plenty of time, but in ease you have
things in shape absolutely nothing is
gained by waiting with getting the plants
under glass.

mand as ever where hardy flowering stock
is appreciated. As cut flowers, they no
longer play an important part with the
florist; not to say that there are not
plenty of occasions when they may be
used to good advantage, but when in
masses and in full bloom, is when we ap-
preciate them most. They are well to
have on the show ground and field grown
plants can be sold during Fall and Spring.
Right now is a good time to sow, and if
you like to grow on healthv stock, don't
use a cooled off hotbed with a lot of
manure in it to sow the seed in. Get
out into the open field; here the plants
are less subject to rust and other
troubles. When large enough to handle,
transplant about 6in. apart each way
where they are to bloom or remain over
Winter If you have call for plants next
I1 all, take up every other row; the plants
left will be better for it. Sow in sepa-
rate colors and label properly so you can
supply just what colors your patrons
want and avoid disappointment.

July Reminders

There remains over half of July yet-
August, September and part of October;
ten good growing weeks we might say
A lot of plants, with a little attention,
can be made to grow into good specimens
during that time if planted outdoors at
once English Ivy and variegated Vin-
cas, for instance; every florist has good
use for both of these and usually is found
short of them long before the bedding
season is over. Why not plant out a few
more? Thrifty small stock of Hydrangeas
can still be planted out and will make
a fine growth by Fall; the same is true
of Dracaena Indivisa and the Cleveland
Cherries as well as Stevias. With the
Spring rush and so many different things
requiring attention one is apt to overlook
the propagating or purchasing of small
stock of plants which really should be
grown on at home; if you have overlooked
any of the above or are short on any why
not stock up while there is still a chance
to plant out and obtain a good growth
before Fall?

Blue Lace Flower

en9m%on}lf growing of Blue Lace Flow-

—We imagine some untoward soil con-
ditions are at fault. Probably the damp-
ing off fungus or some similar stem rot
disease is responsible. Generally speak-
ing, this plant is not a success in the
open air especially in a season like the
present, but sown under glass and pricked
out into sandy loam and leafmold, the
seedlings should get away without diffi-
culty. Why not sow in small pots and

Among Our California SeedGrowers

(Continued from page 79, issue July 8)

My next stopping place was Guadalupe,
the 'home of the L. D. Waller Seed Co.
I wish that all eastern lovers of plant
life could be transported to the fields of
this firm, just for a day. The hand of
an artist appears in all the work done
in the trial grounds and in the extensive
field plantings. I thought I had seen
Schizanthus wisetonensis grown by skillful
gardeners around Pasadena about as
nearly perfect as it is possible to grow
this plant, but at Guadalupe it surpassed
in beauty anything I ever beheld, either
in the open or under glass. Ever since
June 3 I have been asking myself the
question: "Is it the strain of seed, the
soil, the climate, the skill of the grower,
or all combined that have given such mar-
vellous results?"

Nemesia strumosa is another gem that
has proved its worth on this coast. The
Waller Co. has a bed of it of the most
dazzling colors, and the plants not a foot
high, but perfect bouquets of beauty.
When on the Pacific Garden I read of
this plant, but could find none among
florists of this country, so I sent to
England for seeds and for a half tone to
illustrate the plant. In due course of
time I got both and gave the seeds to
Pasadena gardeners, who cultivated it for
the first time in this locality. Great
improvement has been made since then in
the color of this gaudy flower.

They grow here a strain of Candytuft
different from any other that has come
under my observation. The plants are
not over l^ft. high, but are 2ft. in
diameter, forming a perfect mound of
flowers.

Sweet Peas everywhere I went were
glorious, but the greatest glow of all
was two beds of Cupids, each 50ft. wide
and 800ft. long, in full flower with mixed
colors. For gorgeous color effect this was
the grandest I have ever seen. To be
sure a Cupid Sweet Pea is of no account
as a cut flower, but for a carpet bedder
I do not know its equal, and if it were
kept from ripening seed it certainly would
be a wonder for the Atlantic Coast gar-
den. I wonder whether it has ever been
grown as a pot plant in the East?

I saw a variety of Shirley Poppy,
which they have been pleased to name
American Legion. In color it is similar
to the Flanders Poppy. This, too, was
in full bloom and most attractive.

The Routzahn Firm

The Routzahn's Co. at Arroyo Grand
has transferred most of its flower seed
growing end to the Coast section north
of Pismo and its Sweet Pea activities
to the Watsonville section of the State.
California Poppies are one of this firm's
specialties, and they grow great quanti-
ties of the seed. They will also catalog
this season seed of our yellow shrubby
Lupin, Lupinus artoreus. This forms a
solid mass of bloom almost as dark as
Spanish Broom [Spartium junceum) with
a delightful odor. It should be in every
collection of shrubs wherever it will en-
dure the climate. I should like to see
it in the hands of some of the expert
growers of plants under glass on the At-
lantic Coast. We have none of that class
of men on this coast; I suppose because
there is no necessity for their services.
We have a host of shrubby Lupins, but
none so pleasing to me as the yellow one.

Flowers and Vegetables a la Morse

The last stop I made on this trip was
at the headquarters of C. C. Morse & Co.,
located at San Juan Bautista — or, trans-
lated into English, Saint John the Bap-
tist. I am sure the editor will indulge
me in the expression of appreciation of
the piety of the Spanish Franciscan mis-
sionary, Junipero Serra, who began in
1769 his labors of civilizing and Chris-
tianizing the natives. He applied the
name of all the saints he ever heard of
to the various places where he established

missions, which, I regret to say, are all
falling into ruins. We have become so
modern and so rapid in thought and ac-
tion that the place is now known only as
San Juan.

To get back to C. C. Morse & Co. and
their activities, the only flower seeds they
grow are Sweet Peas, and those, too,
near the coast, where cool sea breezes and
fogs prevail. The soil is very fertile, and
they have 285 acres of them.

Vegetable seeds are the Morse special-
ty: 1200 acres of Lettuce; 1600 acres of
Peas; Radishes by the hundred acres;
Onions, about a square mile of them;
30 to 50 acres of Parsley annually, and
the Carrot, Parsnip, Celery, Leek, and
two-thirds of the Onion seed grown in
that part of the State known as the
Sacramento Delta.

The Personnel of the Organization

T.'M. Landrum, vice-president and gen-
eral manager, has been with the firm 29
years. He has grown up with the busi-
ness, and what he doesn't know about
seed growing may be stated in a very
few words, if one only knew them. I
am sure I don't. For assistants he has

F. G. Cuthbertson, son of the famous
English seed grower, who has been with
the firm 14 years; S. A. Allen and B. A.
Lacque, each seven year employees, and

G. C. Smith, with a record of 16 years.
The reason I make mention of these men
and their length of service is that the
company treats its men with so much
consideration that they are disposed to
stay on the job and become so familiar
with all details of pedigree seed produc-
tion that there can be no question of its
purity when it leaves the warehouse, and
is strewn all over the face of the earth.

To look at a field of Radishes in full
bloom one would think that the plants
were very close together in the row.
From 4ft. to 8ft. high, according to va-
riety, they stand 2ft. to 4ft. apart in the
rows. The care exercised to keep them
pure will be understood when I say that
a white variety is grown ten miles away
from any colored sorts. The lower leaves
of nearly all the plants must be stripped
off to prevent a fungous disease from
destroying them, and it requires a back
of spring steel to do that kind of work.

Seed Cleaning Operations

They grow acres of Salsify, of which
the seed must be gathered by hand every
day after it begins to ripen. Moreover
it must be put into some sort of receptacle
to keep the wind from blowing it away.
To thresh the seed they have a machine
each for Onions and Sweet Peas, and one
for Radish, Mustard and Parsley. To
clean these machines after each variety
has gone through, compressed air at
200 pounds pressure is used.

Lettuce seed is rolled out on canvas,
and cleaned by means of a "gravity" ma-
chine. The fellow who thought that out
was a genius and no mistake. Beet seed
is cleaned by running it onto a canvas
belt* rolling up grade ; the seeds roll down
and the stems are carried up and over
the top. Another thing not generally
known is that Radish seed grown on this
coast more than three years produces
plants that are all tops. To overcome
this difficulty, in pure seed production
new seed is brought from France or from
the Atlantic Coast every year. The mar-
vellous part about the whole performance
is that this seed is sown in beds and the
seedlings transplanted to the field — not
with dibbles, but with short handled hoes,
100 acres of them!

The experimental grounds of the firm
are located at San Carlos. (Do you notice
that another saint has furnished a name
for a locality?) Four lines of work are
conducted here: Testing seeds for germi-
nation; seed analysis, to comply with the
State law; trial grounds of vegetable and
Sweet Peas, and selection of varieties for
perpetuation. F. D. Babnhekt.

Early Tulips in
Formal Array

AS a formal display of
Tulips and Summer bed-
ding plants, one of the
showiest examples in Phila-
delphia are the beds of the
Widener Memorial Home for
Children at Broad st. and
Olney ave. Our photograph
shows one-half the display,
this unit being duplicated on
the opposite side of the Elm
lined main driveway.

The Tulips in the fore-
ground bed are red, the ad-
joining two beds white, then
yellow, red in circle and red
and yellow (Keizerskroon) be-
ing next the bed of many col-
ored Pansies which surrounds
the pool. A similar arrange-
ment of colors is repeated be-
yond.

The edging for each bed,
though of seemingly dwarf
plants in the photograph, is
California Privet which has

been cut down to the ground
and has not yet started into
growth. This hedge is kept
trimmed down to a few
inches throughout the Sum-
mer when it forms a splen-
did frame for the picture of
Cannas, Sage, Grasses and
Geraniums with which the
beds are replanted following
the early Tulips.

The Privet hedge idea is
one that might well be used
to advantage for similar po-
sitions and where the more
expensive Box bush fails to
prove hardy. Most persons
seem to think that Privet
must be permitted to grow
up, thus defeating the pur-
pose of a low hedge and like-
wise encouraging a rampant
root growth which would
prove harmful to flowers in
a bed for which it is used as
an edging. On the contrary,
Privet can be kept as low as
wanted by frequent shearing
and In Summer at least it is
the equal of the Box.

Horticultural Trade Practice Standardization

Preliminary Report and Recommendations of the
Committee of the American Association of Nur-
■ serymen as Offered by Chairman Harlan P.
Kelsey before the Detroit Convention,
June 29, 1922
[It appears that for some reason — possibly through
m oversight — the following report was not formally
idopted. However, a strong committee was ap-
pointed to carry on the work and the executive com-
nittee voted $1000 for its use. The report was re-
ferred to in President Cashman's address and also
righly commended by many, so it seems certain that
i more complete report, along the same lines, will be
formally adopted next year. — Ed.]

THIS report must be considered as preliminary
only, for the widely varying practices of nur-
serymen in different sections of America, and
iven in a single State have never before been carefully
Compared and correlated.

Business organizations are fast coming to realize
Jhat such loose and widely varying methods of busi-
ness practice are injurious to buyer and seller alike.
' * The imperative need of standardized rules and
practice among nurserymen is obvious and now ad-
nitted by all progressive nurserymen. With coopera-
ion of all members of the American Association it
mould be possible for your committee to prepare for
idoption at the annual convention in June. 1923, a
«de of trade practice which will be fairly complete,
md of incalculable benefit to the nurserymen and
American horticulture at large.

A. History and Reasons for Standardization

I At the 1911 Summer meeting of the Ornamental
growers Association a resolution was adopted as fol-
ows: "That the standard of grading all ornamental
lecidunus trees be by caliper rule in all grades of
Am. and over; that the measurements be made 6in.
Jbove ground, and that in all published lists this
Jtandard be declared and in practice maintained."
i lms grading was supposed to be used by, all mem-
bers, but reports and discussions at subsequent meet-

ings prove that such was not the case and widely
varying practices still' obtain.

At a later meeting of the O. G. A., Aug. 6-8, 1913,
in Philadelphia, a Committee on Nomenclature and
Revision of Sizes was appointed. This committee pre:
pared a report on nomenclature and grading, and sub-
mitted it at the Winter meeting of this organization,
Jan. 1914. This report with minor changes was
adopted and subsequent stock reports changed to
comply with it.

In 1916 a separate special committee was ap-
pointed by the Ornamental Growers Ass'n on "Stand-
ardization of Grading, Trade Terms and Abbrevia-
tions," but one of the most important features of
standardization, namely the subject of "Nomencla-
ture" was referred to a special committee which
joined with the American Joint Committee on Horti-
cultural Nomenclature. Its work is, therefore, not
included in this report.

The Standardization Committee reported Jan. 3,
191S, at the Winter meeting of the O. G. A. in New
York. It was decided to refer the whole subject to
the A. A. N., and this association's committee on
standardization has continued the work.

Committees of the A. A. N. for several past years
have made recommendations for standards of grad-
ing, but these have failed of adoption, so today nur-
sery practice is in a deplorably chaotic state. The
task of this committee is peculiarly difficult for it
involves not only working out rules of practice that
are to some extent technical, but rules that must be
really practicable; yet, no matter how good a code
might be, if not adopted and practiced by the trade
at large it would be of little value. The field is,
therefore, still practically new and untrodden, but
the necessities are so great that to delay longer would
stamp the nurseryman and horticulturist as among
the most unprogressive business men.

The question is, are nurserymen alive enough to
get together and establish businesslike rules of prac-
tice that will be honestly and consistently adhered to
by all, for the benefit alike of themselves and their
customers?

It is hoped that this report may serve as a basis
on which in the future may be built just, uniform
and profitable rules for horticultural practice.

Your committee recommends that after further

careful additions, revision and consideration by the
nursery trade, the American Association of Nursery-
men adopt a Standardized Code of Nursery Trade
Practice and distribute it to its members and the
nursery trade generally. Necessary revisions must be
made at stated periods, and therefore the committee
on standardization should be made permanent.

It would be much too tedious to introduce here all
the arguments and evidence on which this report is
based; your committee prefers rather to submit re-
sults in somewhat tabulated form, and as briefly as-
possible.

We should like, however, to state briefly some of
the uses lists of trading terms with abbreviations
may be put to.

Some Uies for Trade Terms and Abbreviations

1. Filing. Where lists of plants are kept with card
catalogs it is indispensable to have a good system of
terms with abbreviations and definitions.

2. Catalog Making. If trade terms are standard-
ized with abbreviations it is possible to use a large
number in making up catalogs, saving space and mak-
ing the descriptions much clearer. The seller knows
how to correctly describe his wares and business
methods, while his customers can easily and intelli-
gently used his printed matter, knowing fairly well
what the results will be when he places an order —
which is far from the situation today.

3. Correspondence. In quoting, trade terms and
abbreviations should be well understood at a saving
of time and expense.

4. Telegraphing. It is almost needless to mention
how important a standardized list of sizes, abbre-
viated trade terms, etc., will be in telegraphing. Ex-
penses will be saved, accuracy assured and sales pro-
moted. A nurserymen's Standard Telegraph Code
should be prepared and adopted.

5. Landscape Architect in Making Plans and Speci-
fications. Here it is almost imperative that a system
of standardized terms and abbreviations be in effect.
Much additional information can be put on plans and
in planting lists, thus promoting business relations
between landscape architect and nurseryman.

6. Business Relations Between Buyer and 8ellerr
Standardized trade terms and uniform business prac-
tice will enable customers to know what is being

offered or advertised and just what they
will get or at least just expect. This
means increased business all along the
line. Today few nurserymen caliper
trees alike, and descriptions of quality
and grade of stock as well as the trade
terms used are so lacking in uniformity
that catalogs today leave the buyer in
the dark as to what he may expect.

7. Laic Suits. With standardized terms
and trade practice the honest nursery-
man, florist or dealer is protected as he
is not today. Thus it means protection
for the legitimate tradesman who is do-
ing a straight business and in time the
weeding out of dishonest or slovenly nur-
sery practice which is very detrimental
to the business in general.

8. Shipping, Importing, etc. Many
trading terms are already used quite ex-
tensively and their abbreviations as used
are supposed to be standardized. The
meaning of some, however, is not always
clear and this should be remedied.

I 9. Horticultural and Garden Periodic
cals. The horticultural writer would be
greatly helped, and intelligent publicity
thereby promoted by use of standardized
horticultural rules, terms and abbrevia-
tions.

Nurseryman's Sixtieth Wedding

Mr. and Mrs. James Sweet of Whet-
stone, England, recently celebrated their
60th wedding anniversary. Among the
congratulatory massagea was one from
the King and Queen, and among the per-
sonal callers were five great grandchildren.
Mr. Sweet is famous as a grower of
Ericas and other pot plants and in Co-
vent Garden his series of stands are never
empty at any time of the year.

The Whetstone Nurseries probably pro-
duce finer Ericas and in greater variety
and number than can be found anywhere.

Rubber Roads

Experiments are being made at Colombo
with a rubber dressing for roads, the in-
vention of a Ceylon rubber planter. The
dressing was first tried on a private road
with such success that a portion of a pub-
lic road is being treated. The solution is
easier to handle than tar, but the cost is
50 to 75 per cent higher. Tar, however,
has to be renewed every three or four
months in Ceylon, while the rubber is ex-
pected to last at least 15 months, so that
,the difference in Cost will be more than
balanced by the longer wear and re-
duced labor cost.

Kansas City, Mo.

George H. Johnston of the Kansas City
Nurseries notes the fact that stock plant-
ed over the city is looking well. The re-
cent rains have helped this class of goods,
as well as other stock. "Business," he
says, "is equal to that usually done at
this season of the year."

Mr. Johnston has recently returned
from Detroit, where he attended the nur-
sery convention. He reports that the
convention was a gTeat success, well at-
tended and replete with suggestions as
how to do better and more business. Mr.
Johnston intends putting many of the
ideas which he received at the convention
into active practice. B. S. B.

Hudson, N. Y.

G. C. Niebergall motored to Springfield
last week and spent the week end on
business.

Wm. Christians spent a day in Albany
last week visiting the boys, making it a
business trip also.

By a visit to the Hansen Greenhouses
at Catskill, one can see everything and
everybody moving rapidly preparing for
the coming season.

After continuous rains we had a couple
of days of fair weather and sunshine which
were welcomed by all. Extra help has
been added by all the florists to overcome
the setback caused by the heavy rainfall.

Some fine early Asters and Gladioli are
being cut by the Forest Greenhouses; they
are the first to appear in this section.

Aug. C. F. Obermeyer, Jr., grower at
this range, has returned after a motor
trip which took in several of the largest
places along the river. A. C. F. 0.

Lancaster, Pa.

Retail Notes

B. F. Barr Co. ran a special of
two dozen Carnations for a dollar, and
moved a pretty heavy cut of fairly good
stock. Business continues fair with all
of the stores, Gladioli and other outdoor
stock constituting the principle sources
of supply.

The markets are loaded with all sorts
of flowers, and it is a source of wonder to
visitors where they all go to.

Growers' News

The fight with the weeds in their
attempt to dominate all other growing
things continues in intensity, and with
the help of a few sunshiny days promises
to result in their extermination.

Lloyd and Paul Weaver have finished
planting their Carnations, and have about
10,000 housed.

Elmer Weaver has every nook and cor-
ner of his place planted to Roses, and
the crop from this place will cut quite a
figure in the Philadelphia market the
coming season.

Chas. M. Weaver is in the midst of his
Gladiolus season, and is cutting immense
quantities from his six acre planting. All
of the newer varieties are to be found
here, one especially valuable block con-
tains some 20,000 Marshal Foch. The
entire six acres being under irrigation, he
can defy weather conditions.

Lloyd and Paul Weaver have gotten
back into the Aster game, and are be-
ginning to cut some of the finest Asters
this place ever produced. This makes the
Weaver place a source of attraction to
visiting florists, and there are few days
that do not find some of the craft inspect-
ing it. Last week it was E. J. Faneourt
of the S. S. Pennock Co., and C. U. Liggit.

Chas. Berger of the Berger Fertilizer
and Chemical Co. of Philadelphia visited
growers in this section, and H. C. Neu-
brand, representing Roman J. Irwin, has
also toured the county for orders.

Albert M. Herr.

Fort Wayne, Ind.

The past week's busines has been rather
quiet, with only the usual Summer trade
and sales.

Many of the florists are busy repairing
and making changes, and some taking
well earned vacations.

Stock is plentiful and very good for the
time of year. There is a surpius of out-
side stock, but quite a demand for Roses
and choice flowers.

Gladioli are coming in strong now, and
help out considerably. Shasta Daisies
and Delphinium are still holding out good,
with a brisk demand.

Edgar Wenninghoff is now located in
his new store, with a very fine display of
ferns, palms and Easter Lilies.

The Market

The past week was extremely dull;
business is at its lowest ebb, although
many retailers report an increase over
last year for the month of June. There
is a tremendous amount of garden flowers
flooding the market, and the Gladioli are
beginning to pour in. Roses are fair and
in heavy supply. Carnations are good
for this time of the year and are quite
plentiful.

Snapdragon improves as time goes on,
as does the outdoor Calendula. The sup-
ply of Sweet Peas is rapidly diminishing
and the heat is telling on the quality.
Water Lilies are good and have gained
in popularity. Orchids and valley are not
in such heavy demand and the supply has
diminished likewise.

Hydrangeas, Geraniums, some extra
early Cyclamen and a scattering lot of
Blue Lace Flower are about the only
things in pot plants.

The Gladiolus is the leading flower this
week. The stock improves notwithstand-
ing a couple of heavy rains that beat down
some of the stock. There are many ama-
teur growers peddling their Glads, to
stores as well as retail customers, many
making a house to house canvass. This has
a tendency to break the market when
the sales are made to the stores, and as
they sell cheaply to the retail buyer, they
do much to cheapen a really meritorious
flower that is deserving of a high place in
the flower marts. Store men would do
well to buy from the commercial grower
and wholesaler exclusively and do their
share toward keeping a firmer market.

Greens continue good with the excep-
tion of A. plumosus.

Cleveland Florists Club

A good crowd turned out for the
regular monthly meeting of the Cleveland
Florists Club Monday, July 10. Presi-
dent McLaughlin occupied the chair and
conducted the meeting with his usual zeal.
The Publicity Committee has issued
form contracts for growers and retailers

and a number have been signed and turned
in; with the one per cent plan functioning
properly, several thousand dollars will
be available for advertising.

It is high time the Cleveland florists
did something to boost the sales of flow-
ers; the general let down in the use of
printer's ink has been felt in every unit
of the local industry. Some half dozen
of our leading florists have been the "hold-
outs" and the rocks on which the original
plan for publicity was wrecked upon. They
are big enough to realize the effect their
obstinacy has had on the committee's
efforts and is is hoped they have seen the
error of their ways and will get on the
band wagon to make the plan function for
100 per cent.

The Picnic Committee, with the able
Jim Wilson at the helm, is busy with
arrangements for the annual outing at
Willough Beach. The features of the day,
as usual, will be the ball game and tug
of war. A large crowd usually turns out
for the picnic and it is hoped that this
year will get the biggest crowd on record.
With ninety new members added to tne
roster, it's more than likely attendance
records will be shattered.

Last year there was no picture taken of
the crowd, but it is hoped Chairman Wil-
son will include this feature in his ar-
rangements. It is only on rare occasions
that the old timers and the young bloods
get together and in years to come, an
old picture will, more than likely, take
some of us back to live again those happy
hours of club picnic days. Let's all get
together "For Auld Lang Syne."

Progress and Publicity in Alabama

Wallace B. Paterson of Rosemont Gar-
dens, Montgomery, Ala., has been kind
enough to send us al number of posters is-
sued by the Chamber of Commerce of that
city, showing by means of photographic
reproductions the extensive development
of agriculture and horticulticure in Mont-
gomery County. The sheets are about
18in. by 20in. in size and carry from six
to eight striking views with appropriate
descriptive captions. The series covers
the subjects of Dairying, Poultry Raising,
Clovers and Grasses, Live Stock, Schools
and Highways, Beauty Spots of the Sec-
tion, and Horticulture and Floriculture.
On the last mentioned sheet we notice a
view of a Carnation field on the Rosemont
Gardens, from which, says the legend,
were supplied "more than 300,000 per-
fect Carnations this season."

Erie, Pa.

Henry I. Wise, an old and esteemed sub-
scriber for The Florists Exchange, ad-
vises us that he has gone out of business.
He writes us that he has subscribed for
The Exchange since its very beginning
(1888) and has always been more than
satisfied with its contents. We wish Mr.
Wise success in whatever pursuit he may
now be engaged in.

Doing it with Flowers

A visitor called at the Globe yesterday
to express his appreciation of window flo-
ral displays which gave a refreshing touch
of beauty to the otherwise blank faces of
business premises on Wellington, King and
a few other downtown streets. "If you
wish to see what window boxes will do to
brighten up business streets," he said,
"pay a visit to the town of Trenton."

Trenton has an active Horticultural
Society which has been for years carrying
out a plan of civic embellishment. Weed-
ridden empty spaces or bald patches down-
town have been converted into beauty
spots which are tended by the society.
Flower beds have been laid out in the
church lawns, and the municipal build-
ings have been given a floricultural set-
ting. To the tourist the most unusual fea-
ture is the window-box bloom of the busi-
ness section. The society arranges to have
the boxes made and filled at an almost
nominal price, and the majority of the
merchants have cooperated heartily. Every
year plants are distributed to hundreds of
citizens for their lawns and gardens. The
society finances its work mainly by an-
nual exhibitions, and by provincial grants
which any organization performing the
same service may claim.

This enterprising and floriferous com-
munity sets an excellent example to the
big cities, as well as to other towns. The
business centers of most of them are not
so resplendent that they would not be im-
proved by flowers " in the crannied wall."
The window box would redeem many a
street from downright ugliness. — Toronto

DECORATING A CHURCH WITH NARCISSI

The accompanying illustra-
tion, reproduced through the
courtesy of George Lawler,
bulb grower of Tacoma,
Wash., shows the result of
a most succesful attempt to
decorate a church solely with
Narcissi, unaided even by
greenery. The building is
the First Methodist Church
of Tacoma, and the occasion
was the annual meeting of
the Parent-Teachers Associa-
tion of the State of Wash-
ington, which was followed
by the convention of the
National P. T. Association.

The 10,000 blooms used
were supplied from Mr.
Lawler's fields, and included
5000 Barri conspicuii, 4500
Horsfieldi and 500 Sulphur
Phoenix, and while theripwas
no attempt made at artistic
arrangement, the mass effect
was certainly striking and
beautiful beyond the ability
of the photograph to por-
tray. That it was appreci-
ated by those atending the
meetings was made clear by
the generous expressions of
praise given, which included
a formal vote of thanks to
Mr. Lawler on the part of
the State association.

Springfield Carnation Food

We feel impelled to draw attention to
the advertisement of the Henshaw Floral
Co., appearing on another page. It will
be noted that the new product is not pnt
forward as a mere fertilizer, but as a
Carnation food, and herein the intro-
ducers show wisdom.

It may be mentioned here that some
years ago one of the English Carnation
specialists introduced a Carnation food;
today it is probably the most largely used
Carnation fertilizer in the world. It
was primarily introduced for amateurs'
use, but the success of the manufacturers
as growers of Carnation blooms on a
vast scale, prompted many commercial
men to try it, and it is, we believe, used
largely by many British commercial
growers today.

The success of this English product is
more or less due to the fact that it is
classed as a food, not a stimulant that
unbalances the growth.

It will be seen from the Henshaw Floral
Co. ad that they are introducing their
Carnation Food as the result of many
experiments.

It is a compound largely, if not wholly,
organic. This is one of the secrets of grow-
ing good. Carnations. The plants resent
forcing manures; they demand a steady,
regular diet which provides potash, phos-
phates and limited nitrogen in an easily
available form. Given this, the plants
develop strong, firm wood, glaucous foliage
and flowers which will stand up sturdily
and not go to sleep immediately after
cutting.

A few, very few, growers have found
the secret of such. Those that are not
satisfied with their results may do well
to give the Springfield Carnation Food a
full trial. What it does for its intro-
ducers at Springfield, N. J., it will quite
likely do for others.

Baltimore, Md.

The Market

July 11. — "It has been a dragging
week," said one of our most prominent
wholesale men, "but we must expect some
dull periods in the Summer months."
That's all well and good, but there should
be no dull period with the Gladiolus
growers, who are shipping tons of the
finest flowers we have ever seen. Sure,
price is tumbling downward, but the qual-
ity is still there. The Gladiolus will be
the leading flower for many weeks to
come.

The market is down to Summer condi-
tions of supply and what you will offer
in cash. At any rate, most of the whole-
salers are looking for a better business
than last year. There are plenty of Roses
about, and, for this time of the year,
they are exceptionally good. Carnations
are about gone, only a few that are pre-
sentable. Giganteum Lilies are in fair
supply.

Of the seasonable outdoor flowers there
is some demand. Asters will be along
directly, and we understand there are
some heavy plantings about town. Plenty
of Asparagus fronds offered.

News Notes

"Grafted Roses in six; months' time
in our soil! Don't misquote me, Bob, I
said in our soil, under glass, will make
as good growth and produce as many
flowers as own root stock will in 18
months."

Now a statement like that from a well
known Rose enthusiast and a close stu-
dent of commercial standards should
make one sit up and take considerable
notice, and further and more, James Ham-
ilton has the courage of his convictions.
His houses are filled with grafted, home
grown plants, and it has never been our
privilege to look over a finer batch of
young Roses, or two year olds either. Of
the new ones, the "Squire" is trying out
Angelus, and it is surely responding to
clever treatment and good Rose soil.
They look larger and stronger than many
a nine months' old bunch that we have
seen in our travels. A few have been
allowed to bloom, and Mr. Hamilton is
delighted with the promise of this new
winner. Premier and Columbia are still
great favorites and will occupy about half
the bench room of the Rose range. Donald
is the modest young Rose grower,, and the
outstanding feature of his remarkable
success, is the wonderful color, size and
tone he puts into Ophelia and Butterfly
all Winter long.

R. E. Faust of the S. S. Pennock Co.

In the bright lexicon of the florist
youth there is no such word as fail with
Gladioli. They will always produce.
Listen in at Gus Lutz, from Glen Burnie,
Md., with his seven acres of new, cleared,
fertile land planted to one and a quarter
million Gladiolus bulbs. Ideal soil and
conditions, with no danger of early frost,
and can begin planting March 1. Now,
Mr. Lutz is speaking of his favorites: In
white, Maine, Giant White; lavender,
Herota and Dr. Marks (porcelain blue) ;
pink, Panama, Loveliness and America;
salmon, Prince of Wales, a better color
than Hadley; yellow, Schwaben and Gold-
en Major; War for dark red, and a good
light red is Libesfleuer. There are many
other good varieties grown down by the
Bay shore.

Arthur S. Richmond has a fine field of
Carnation plants almost ready to house.
The indoor Rose plants are breaking into
fine shape. He is trying out American
Legion this season, and thinks it will do
well in his soil. This stock is on own
roots.' The Double White Killarneys are
grafted and look the picture of vigor-
Columbia, his old standby, looks very
promising.

The Market

July 11. — Midsummer dullness is
with us again, and while there is no stock
going to waste, still there is no pep or
life to things. The supply is not heavy,
which is a good thing. The supply of
Roses is light, but the quality is fine for
Midsummer stock. Premier and Columbia
are both holding out fine.

Carnations are practically through for
this season, but a few are still coming in,
the most of which should have been
thrown out several weeks ago. The first
Asters arrived last week, but not in large
enough quantities to make them a factor.
Gladioli are coming in quantities, with
quality of the best. The varieties in-
clude Halley, America, Francis King and
Schwaben. Easter Lilies are not of the
best and are hard to move.

The supply of Sweet Peas is large and
the quality was never better; in fact,

some of them . have the appearance of
Midwinter stock, but with nothing going
on in a. social way it is hard to realize
anywhere near what they are worth. Lily
of the Valley moves slowly, and it takes
forced sales at times to clean it up.
This is about the extent of the stock at
present, with the exception of a few gar-
den flowers that find an occasional buyer.

Louisville, Ky.

It has just been learned that A. F.
Rozelle (Tony), a hat jobber, retailer
and manufacturer, at 406 West Jefferson
st., Louisville, has become a florist, he
having purchased the old George Schulz
greenhouses, six in number, for the pur-
pose of operating a high class floral es-
tablishment. Rozelle is well to do; owns
a big hat busines in a downtown location,
a fine home on Eastern Parkway, and for
years has had a suburban camp on the
Upper River rd., facing the river and
known as Camp Hatter. A Louisville
newspaper in reporting the transfer of
property stated that Rozelle planned to
operate his place as "The Garden of
Glass." This clipping in part stated:

"The transfer by purchase of the
greenhouses on Goss ave., near Hoertz,
from George Schulz to A. E. Rozelle, hat
cleaner of 406 West Jefferson St., is re-
ported among the recent transactions in
Louisville.

"These houses, six in number and con-
taining 15,000ft. of glass, will be re-
modeled, and when completed . will be
the most modern in the South. They
will be planted in flowers and pot plants
in vast array, and, according to Mr.
Rozelle, will more than justify their
name, 'The Beauty Spot,' by which they
have been known for 30 years.

"Mr. Rozelle has had considerable ex-
perience in the growing of plants and
flowers, this having always been a hobby
of his, besides operating a greenhouse at
Gardner Lane, near Newburg rd., for
several years. He says that Rozelle's
'Garden of Glass,' by which name this
place will be known, will be a revelation
in floral culture." A. W. W.

Carnation Maine Sunshine

Strouts, Inc., beautiful yellow Carna-
tion, Maine Sunshine, seems to have estab-
lished itself in England as a favorite.

The Gardeners' Chronicle, London, for
July 1, contains a splendid picture of one
flower. The variety, after trial last Win-
ter at the R. H. S. gardens, was granted
an A. M.

Allwood Bros., the famous growers,
catalog Maine Sunshine as the best of all
yellows. So highly do they think of it
that it is the only yellow they grow at
their cut flower establishment at Clayton.

Correcting a Tariff Report

Owing, perhaps, to the various changes
to which both the existing and the pro-
posed Tariff schedules have been subject-
ed, there crept into our issue of July 1
on page 13 an unfortunate error which we
wish to correct. In referring to Mr. Gude's
report on the situation, Par. 751 was first
made to read "Tulips," etc. As has been
pointed out at various times this should
and does now read in both House and
Senate forms of the bill, "Tulip," without
the s, thus referring definitely to bulbs
and not to flowers.

Construction News

The attached list of recent buyers of
King greenhouses shows that the florists
are not only talking but that they mean
business and that they are going after it
stronger than ever. They are preparing
for it, in many instances, by doubling their
ranges. Growers are not only interested
in quantity production, but quality pro-
duction as well because of the increased
profit it will give. Eight or nine years
ago quantity was the object — today qual-
ity is the watchword of nearly every
grower. This has undoubtedly been
brought about by the keener competition
of the past few days and by the F. T. D.
trade.

The growing under glass of flowers and
vegetables is destined to be an industry
of no small magniture in the United
States and F. J. Tighe of the King Con-

The Florists' Exchange

Portland, Me.

July 10. — The florist business was very
satisfactory all through the month of
June and is holding up remarkably well.
Flowers are none too plentiful, owing to
the unusual wet weather, which, for the
last month, has caused a great deal of
worry among the florists and farmers.

Many of them are wondering if we are
going to have any Summer at all. Tour-
ists who were flocking into Maine by the
thousand are getting discouraged and are
returning home.

The Cumberland County Florists Club
will hold its annual outing at Howard
Blanchard's greenhouses, Cumberland Cen-
ter, on July 20. Dinner will be served at
Red Men's Hall. An elaborate program
has been arranged for the occasion, in-
cluding baseball and other games. All flo-
rists who are spending their vacations in
Maine are cordially invited to attend and
are assured of a good time.

Mrs. Smith of the Vose-Smith Co., is
enjoying a two weeks vacation at Kings-
field, Me.

Newport, R. I.

Newport Horticultural Society

A regular meeting of the above so-
ciety was held on the 11th, when the
greater part of the time was taken up
in a discussion of plans for the show to
be held at the time of the Garden Club
of America Convention here in 1923. A
report was made by the secretary of the
joint committee of the meeting held at
the Art Association headquarters on the
6th instant. It is planned to use the
hall for main exhibits of cut flowers and
plants. Other interesting features will
be arranged on the grounds, with display
of window boxes on the outside of main
building. Interest is being worked up
among the property owners of the Sum-
mer colony. It is felt by the members
of the horticultural society that unless
employers of the gardeners back their
gardens up financially and otherwise that
the affair will be a failure.

Odd Notes

In a private letter received from
the president of the American Rose So-
ciety, it was announced that there is a
possibility of that body, when on their
annual outing next June, giving a day
to Newport. In such a case, it would be
unfortunate should the date for the Gar-
den Club's meeting be deferred until
July, it being possible that this be done
so that more of the Summer people be
here to meet and help entertain the dele-
gates, who are expected to come in large
numbers.

Arthur T. Bunyard is here to spend
the Summer with his family. Mr. Bun-
yard, having recently passed through an
operation, will find Newport's cool breezes
just the place for him to bring about a
speedy recovery.

Gene Otto, formerly with Bunyard
Here, has entered the employ of Richard
Wenham, 145 Bellvue ave.

Business generally is good. A. McL.

The Market

The weather the past week has be-
come considerably cooler. Of course, at
this season of the year, it does not make
much difference to business, although it
does some. The flowers look better. All
outside stock is suffering from the dry
spell.

Publicity is doing a little, birthdays
and anniversaries are in July and Au-
gust as at other times and a floral token
in these months is just as acceptable. Car-
nations are scarce and in most cases, very
poor. Roses have somewhat improved in
color; Gladioli are now coming freely and
some quoted at $4 to S6. Delphinium are
on the tables of the wholesalers. Early
closings and entire day Saturday closings
by the department stores start July 15.

Vacations are now in order. Prepara-
tions for St. Louis District Growers meet-
ing at Rock Island are completed. Then
comes the picnic and the S. A. F. meeting.
After that things will soon open up the
regular season. With increase in pub-
licity, trade promises to be greater than

The St. Louis Florist Club meeting, to

promises to be a big event. All arrange-
ments for picnic will be announced and
completed. The election of officers will be
the feature of the meeting and the elec-
tion of 19 new members will take place
also.

The new wholesale house will be opened
about the 15th. St. Louis is making great
strides in all branches of the trade.

Gladioli.

Omaha, Neb.

The Market

The demand for flowers has been
rather quiet this week; in fact, each day
seemed to be more quiet than the pre-
ceding day. The sale on Roses and
Gladioli seemed to be the bulk of the
business. With such ideal weather, and
the continuous rains at the present time,
the outside flowers have been too plenti-
ful to bring the buyers to the stores,
especially since the commencement exer-

cises are over. Then there are very few
social functions going on at the present
time. While weddings have been numer-
ous, there are none really large. Funeral
work and hospital bouquets have been
the long end of the business.

In Roses we see a few Premier and
some short Russell, about 12c. to 14c.
stock. There is some fair short stock
at 3c. Some of the growers are commenc-
ing to cut some of their young plants,
but it will be some time before they will
amount to much. Gladioli are selling
well, and the quality has been splendid.
Several of the newer Glads, appear this
season, and for these they are trying to
get all they can out of the market. The
best Glads, are demanding 8c. and 10c,
although there are oceans of Glads, to
be had at 5c. and 6e. Saturday found
lots of Glads, at as low as $3 per 100. In
the coming week there will appear sev-
eral new growers of Glads., and unless
business takes an extra spurt there is
bound to be a glut on the local market.
There are at least 100,000 more Glads,
planted in this locality than in any pre-
vious year, and unless some unforeseen
thing happens someone is bound to suffer.

Carnations are about done, although
there are a few to be had at 4c. Easter
Lilies are obtainable at a few of the
shops at 15e., although they are nothing
extra. Unlimited numbers of rubrums
are to be had, and are mighty nice for
funeral work. Lily of the Valley is in
large enough supply to fill tie demand
at 6c. Unlimited numbers of Strawflow-

ers, Feverfew, Delphiniums, Statice, Gail-
lardia, Coreopsis, Cornflowers and Snap-
dragons are coming in daily.

News Notes

By agreement, all of the local shops
and stores are to close all day Sun-
day during the months of July and
August. This will hold good unless a
change is agreed upon by all of the local
stores.

J. J. Hess will leave the early part of
the week on his annual fishing trip in the
lakes of Minnesota.

Mrs. Maude Bath will commence her
vacation this Monday.

A report from the hail division at
-Lincoln, Neb., this week shows that there
are 172 reports of damage from hail, and
last week there were 710. Some of the coun-
ties suffered terrible losses, wiping out the
Corn and small grain beyond recognition
fortunately, the hail missed most of the
towns having any large amounts of glass.

The counties suffering most this week
were Pawnee, Lancaster, Saunders, Dodge
Cumming, Wayne, Colfax, Butler, Polk-
Seward, York, Fillmore, Thayer, Clay'
Merrick, Hamilton, Nance, Boone Brown'
Custer Valley, Howard, Dawson, Harlan!
Keith, Kimball, Deul and Garfield.

Miss Emily Petersen of the Hess &
Swoboda store has tendered her resigna-
tion, to take effect July 15. Miss Emily
is to be the new manager of the Petersen
Bros.' Farnam store.

Miss Marie Andersen is cutting some
of the finest Myrtle Gladioli that ever
came on the Omaha market. Miss Ander-
sen has always had the reputation of
raising fine early Glads.

C. G. Hargadine and family returned
last Monday from a two weeks' trip at
the lakes of Minnesota. Mr. Hargadine
has been sending some mighty fine Prince
of Wales Gladioli into Omaha daily.

Rudolph Timmler is the man that has
been supplying Omaha with those big
Shasta Daisies at $2 per 100.

Lee Larmon has moved his store from
the Fonntenelle Hotel to the Masonic
Bldg. on Nineteenth and Douglas sts
This will make Lee one of the finest stores
in Omaha.

Harold Hendersen is spending his va-
cation in Chicago and Indiana.

Chrysanthemums

W. D., Va. — Watering should be gov-
erned by the conditions of the soil, as a
light sandy soil would need more water-
ing than a heavy loam. Never allow it to
become very dry or waterlogged.

Being planted in June, no time should
be lost in staking and tying as the plants
need severe scringing to keep down the
thrip and red spider which should be
done at least every ten days with an
overhead spraying on bright days every
two hours. Feeding with light liquid
manure, using either cow manure or a
reliable tankage every two weeks to keep
them growing until the bud forms and
then lay off about four weeks Then use
it very lightly until they begin to flower.
It not convenient to use liquid, give a
light dressing of tankage every two weeks
and water immediately, so that the ferti-
lizer would not burn the tender roots that
are near the surface. J. F P

Net Profit from House Carnations

A grower located in a country town
in New York State, selling 50 per cent
of his product at retail and 50 per cent
at wholesale, writes to ask us as to what
profit he should expect to secure from
a house of Carnations 60ft.x200ft., con-
taining about 1S,000 plants.

For the purpose of reply, supposing we
take it for granted that the inquirer is
a fairly good grower and is raising aver-
age good quality stock, and has no par-
ticular difficulty in disposing thereof,
fifty-fifty, as he states; how many of our-
readers will send us in their computa-
tions as to the net .profit the inquirer
should make.

It is quite an interesting question and
we would indeed appreciate replies from
several of those of our readers who are in
a position to reply.

The' Week's Meetings and Exhibitions

July 17 and 18. — National Flower Growers Associa-
tion (St. Louis District), will hold its annual meet-
ing at the Harper House, Rock Island, 111.

In a recent issue, we inaugurated a new column of
editorial matter under the heading of "The Ex-
change's Business Leads."

We have no doubt that many concerns have already
charged someone with the duty of watching this col-
umn closely each week for definite leads to new busi-
ness.

Have you commenced to take advantage of this
dollars and cents feature?

Meetings Past and to Come

Pausing in the midst of one of his busy days, J. F.
Ammann writes us from Edwardsville, 111., on his
return from the convention of the Texas State Flo-
rists Association where, he says, "they sure had a
corking convention lasting three days. Quite a few
members were added to the F. T. D. A. and a suffi-
cient number joined the S. A. F. to make the presi-
dent of the Texas organization eligible for the S. A. F.
Board of Directors. In all they will have about 100
S. A. F. members."

Mr. Ammann when writing was on the eve of leav-
ing for Tulsa, Okla., where, at the State Florists
Convention on July 13 and 14, he is to speak on the
F. T. D. reorganization and clearing house plans.
From there he will jump to Bock Island, 111., where
on July 17 and 18 the Midsummer meeting of the
St. Louis District, National Flower Growers Associa-
tion will be held at the Harper House. We have
already published the program for this affair, and
are glad to be able to state that Mr. Ammann has
agreed to insure our receiving a prompt and com-
plete report of what takes place there.

The Trend of the Trades Toward Troth

It is a healthy sign that both the nursery and seed
trades, as indicated at their recent conventions, are
characterized by a determination to emphasize the
importance of standardized trade ethics and higher
business standards generally. It is true, of course,
that this tendency may be noted to an increasing de-
gree in all the largest and most successful industries
— but this does not detract from the credit due the
horticultural trades for climbing aboard the band-
wagon.

The big problem, in conducting such a campaign,
is not, after all, the securing of enough enthusiasts
to rally 'round the cause and work for their own
good, and that of their patrons. There are always
plenty of high-minded dealers who instinctively hitch
their wagons to first magnitude stars of integrity and
service. No, the problem is to bring into the fold —
or else to cast out into utter darkness where they
can do no damage — those relatively few, small minded
critters who either don't know or don't care enough
to go straight with themselves, their associates and
the world generally.

Among the various factors upon which the solution
of this problem depends are the control exercised by
the majority over the misbehaving minority ; the
methods available for bringing them into line; and
the possibility of convincing the public that in spite
of occasional lapses from grace on the part of these
individuals, the hearts of the great majority of the
trade members are in the right place.

The nurserymen have certainly attacked their job
without gloves and with decision, and their vigilance
committee is to be commended for doing the duty for
which it was created without fear or favor. Such
work is never easy nor pleasant, but in that its re-

The Trees in Central Park

Editor The Florists Exchange:

Considerable discussion has taken place in the New
York Times on the proposition of planting 40 large
Elms, 50ft. high with a diameter of 16in. to 18in., to
be bought and planted by public subscription at one
thousand dollars each. Considerable has been written
on the feasibility of this by engineers and landscape
architects, also private gentlemen. How is it we do
not see the horticultural press, the nurseryman and
practical gardener joining in discussions of this kind?
It seems to me there are plenty who are well able
to discuss this matter from a practical point. We
read of garden clubs being formed to combat the
expert who undertakes the management of private
estates and I do not see why the public parks, the
property of the people, are not open to discussion
equally so with the private estate owner.

The promoter of this scheme openly admits that
he has had 30 years of failure with the trees In
Central Park and now comes to the conclusion that
the only way is to dig holes 25ft. in diameter, fill them
with good soil and procure trees that will stand
50 to 100 years. Can he do it? To me it looks like
a joke not worthy of a clown in a circus.

I don't see why problems like these should be left
to the city man; is it not time that the nurseryman
and practical gardener should get out and have some-
thing to say about such problems as these? Surely
the parks and public property can be discussed by the
Public. H. J. Cobfield.

suits provide a valuable lesson and an ultimate bene-
fit, it is necessary and worthy.

In the case of the seedsmen, no such definite steps
have thus far been taken, but it is interesting to note
ex-President Olds' suggestions as to how fraudulent
seed dealers might be held in check to some extent.
He urges that agricultural papers be asked not to
accept advertisements from non-members of the A. S.
T. A. unless they are vouched for by the chief seed
analysts of their respective States.

While worthy in intention we fear this particular
method of attacking the problem is impracticable. In
the first place, no publisher would agree to select or
reject advertisements on the basis of whether those
who offered them were or were not members of a
certain group. He could not be expected to show such
discrimination between individuals — although it is
entirely logical and desirable for him to scrutinize
most carefully ads submitted to him, on some plan
of his own designed to insure their honesty and re-
liability.

In the second case, such an arrangement would
put upon the association the responsibility of insur-
ing the integrity of its every member — which it might
or might not find it possible to carry off successfully.
Undoubtedly the proportion of honest tradesmen is
higher inside a trade organization than without, but
undoubtedly, also, there may sometimes appear a few
black sheep in a fold that presumably includes only
white ones.

Finally the idea of having State seed analysts
vouch for the truth of every seed ad submitted by a
dealer not an association member seems impracti-
cable. In the first place that is not their job — and
they have plenty to do. Secondly, they would have
no basis on which to base an opinion save the results
of an occasional laboratory test of a small sample of
seed. Third, this information being available to all

could be interpreted by the publisher as well as the
analyst.

However, the methods of securing better seed, bet-
ter nursery stock, better service, higher reputations
and loftier aspirations among tradesmen are but
details. The large and important fact is that a
majority of them are voluntarily moving in that di-
rection. With the current once in motion, it is but
a question of time when all will be carried along
upon it — to the everlasting credit and benefit of those
who gave it the initial impetus.

The Kansas City Convention

August IS, 16 and 17, 1922

The official program for the convention is approach-
ing completion, and will shortly be in the printers'
hands. It will be found to be of more than ordinary
interest, as it will contain many suggested subjects
for discussion which may be considered somewhat as
without precedent insofar as their trade value is con-
cerned. It promises to be, also, the most complete
program yet issued by the society, the fund of infor-
mation it will carry leaving nothing to be desired or
expected.

As previously announced, the railroad concession
of a rate to Kansas City equal to a fare and one-half
has gone into force, and all journeying to the con-
vention city are simply required to purchase return
tickets at this rate at their local depots, presenting
at ! the same time a certificate which the secretary
will forward to every member entitled to one, with a
copy of the program. This certificate presented at the
booking office in Kansas City at time of return will
secure validation of the return portion of the ticket.

The Trade Exhibition

Quite a little space is still available in the Trade
Exhibition section, but prospective exhibitors should
make application for quarters without delay, as there
is a strong probability of every available foot of space
being taken up well in advance of the opening day.
The following exhibitors are in addition to the list
recently published :

L. C. Stroh & Sons, Batavia, N. Y.

The Bergman Decorating Co., Chicago, 111.

Allan Humason, Chicago, 111.

Eastern Wreath Mfg. Co., Providence, K. I.

Kansas City Local Preparations

The Kansas City florists are bent on getting every
florist in the country to know about and come to the
national convention to be held here in August. Prac-
tically every florist is using invitation stickers on all
his outgoing mail.

The attractive red heart and white notice, that is
almost festive enough to be a Valentine greeting, can-
not help but command attention. The message reads :
"Kansas City, the "heart of America" invites you to
the thirty-eighth annual meeting of the S. A. F. and
O. H, Aug. 15, 16, 17, 1922."

Glenn K. Parker, secretary of the Kansas City Flo-
rists Club, sent a wire to Dallas, Tex., this week
where the State florists' convention is being held, in-
viting the Texans to attend the convention here.

A special invitational folder has been prepared by
the local florists and the Chamber of Commerce, and
is being mailed from the New York office of the S. A.
F. and O. H. to the ladies of the society, pointing out
and describing features of the city in which they may
be particularly interested. The front page bears a
picture of "The Scout," a statue standing in Penn
Valley Park, and typifying the city and its far-seeing
vision.

Penn Valley Park is two blocks from the Union
Station, and in it, on a hilltop from which "The
Scout" can be seen, is the motor tourists' camping
ground, where scores of motorists are now camped
and where many visitors to the S. A. F. and O. H.
convention probably will leave their cars. The camp
is about 14 blocks almost due south of Convention
Hall ; and street cars pass about two blocks from the
camp for those who do not wish to use their cars in
the city. Several lines of street cars serving the
tourists camp section pass within a block of the head-
quarters and other hotels.

For tourists, road information as to routes into
Kansas City will be available at practically every
automobile club and Chamber of Commerce on the

Max Schling's School of Floral Art

An Appreciation

The week of June 26 was one of opportunity for
over one hundred and fifty florists who gathered from
far and wide to attend the School of Floral Art which
was put on in New York by Max Schling. Mr. Schling
spared no effort to make the week worth while in
every way. The week was notable for the freedom
with which Mr. Schling demonstrated methods of
using all sorts of material to secure beautiful arrange-
ments as well as his frank treatment of details of
conducting a retail business, for the generous use of
uis time, money and stock, and for the open-handed
aospitality, and, above all for the interesting and
courteous attention shown to all who were in the
Glass. One of the most enjoyable and enthusiastic
events of the whole week was the banquet which Mr.
Schling tended the class on Friday evening at the
3reat Northern Hotel.

Not only did the class get ideas and methods of
arranging flowers, but every one seemed to feel the
litimulation to go back to their own places with
preater confidence in themselves to give better service
md the desire to be more original. Although the class
jresented Mr. Schling with a silver service as a con-
:rete expression of their appreciation, the class feel
hat they will always be indebted to Mr. Schling — a
lebt which can only be paid off in the future by a
raternal and friendly feeling to brother florists, and
houghtful consideration of the desires of their cus-
omers.

We thank you Mr. Schling for the privilege of this
veek, for your cordiality, and for your kindly human
nterest and your unselfish spirit.

For the class: A. S. Thurston (University of Mary-
and), Bachael Butterworth (Farmingham, Mass.),
Jeorge D. Leydic (Indiana, Pa.), Eliese Hansen
Catskill, N. Y.), Frank Clark (Trenton, N. J.).

egard to red Bougainvillea Crimson Lake. As we had
lways been under the impression that this had been
ur introduction, I addressed a letter to Peter Bisset
nd he has replied as follows :

"I am not informed as to the author of the note
a the Florida Exchange that you refer to, but as
ar as I know, our office has never claimed that we
atroduced the Crimson Lake Bougainvillea. The va-
iety that we introduced was received from the De-
artment of Science and Agriculture, Georgetown, De-
lerara, British Guiana, as a crimson flowered Bou-
ainvillea. This is a very beautiful variety and to me
eemed somewhat different from the Crimson Lake."

Mr. Bisset also enclosed the official memoranda in
egard to their introduction, which shows that it
ras not received until Oct. 3, 1916. As we imported
he Crimson Lake Bougainvillea from Trinidad in
912, this would seem to establish the accuracy of our
pinion in this matter.

I am mailing you a copy of our latest catalog, and
efer you to pages 34 and 35 on which you will find

veral other species of rare Bougainvilleas listed,
n addition to these, we still have others which we
o not have in sufficient quantities to list. One is

Onst there wuz a man who went into bizness
for hisself. He had scraped together quite
a little Kapital an' felt that he wuz sum Guy !
He wuz ready to show the public an' his friends
an' fambly especially, just how bizness ort to
be dun.

So he proseeded to put up a Big Front. He
spent his Kash with a lavish Hand, an' en-
joyed the discovery that he had lots of friends
an' admirers. These were mostly Peppul of
much smaller means than Hisself, an' they
told hymn what a grate Fellow he wuz, an' what
tightwads most of the bizness men in town wuz.

Now Our Friend had a department in which
he took orders for cut flowers an' speshul deco-
rations, an' he advertised that this wuz the
place to Kum to get the best in blooms an' the
most Artistic of Arrangements.

He got some mighty libberal responses from
the public. But he wuz so busy braggin' an'
tellin' how much money he wuz going to make
on each deal, that he hurried his preparations
an' gave indifferent stock an' service. He faled
to keep his place Klean an' attractive an' up-

Quite as often as knot, they wuz no one in
charge who could tell prices or give the infor-
mation the customer desired. Peppul were
asked to wate or to kum back or to telephone
when the Boss would be in. But as a rule,
these foakes went right across the street to Fil-
bert's, or down the street to the Orange Tree

When other Foakes got the big orders for an-
nouncements an' weddings an' big social affairs,
our Hero begun to get jealous an' to rave
against his Kompetitors an' the public. He sed
as how his Kompets wuz underhand an'

the public wuz an unappreciative an' a on-

So he cut out cut flowers an' his service of

Besides he argyfied peppul wouldn't be fussy

He sed the patrons in this line would be real

these patrons didn't like to wate or kum back

a very splendid sort which, however, is exceedingly
difficult to propagate.

Please do not think that I am trying to specially
attract the attention of readers of The Exchange,
but we have done a monumental work here in Florida
which has been shown in a greater or less extent all
over the country, particularly in relation to tropical
and sub-tropical horticulture which is often not ap-
preciated. We have actually been very reticent to
claim credit, which I really feel is due to the work
and investigation that we have made.

Oneco, Fla. Wm. A. Cook,

For Reasoner Bros.

[We are exceedingly pleased to publish the above
letter. Through some source or other, we had been
led to assume that Crimson Lake was the variety
introduced by the Bureau of Plant Industry. We en-
tirely agree that Reasoner Bros, have done as much
or more than any other firm in the country in the
way of introducing new or rare plants suited to the
South and where frosts are of no serious import.

A glance through the Tropical Planting Book is-
sued by Reasoner Bros, shows a remarkable collec-
tion of plants and trees. We hardly think a like col-
lection could be duplicated by any other nursery in
the world.

Reasoner Bros, with their strong landscape depart-
ment, are doing much to influence the development of
gardens in Florida which, to use the words of W. J.
Lobjoit, British Controller of Horticulture, is the most
wonderful State in America. Mr. Lobjoit spent more
time in Florida than anywhere during his visit, and

he foresaw that within the next 50 years Florida
would be the Mecca of all: His lifelong connection
with commercial horticulture enabled Mr. Lobjoit
to visualize the possibilities of Florida, and were he
a young man, it is not unlikely he would as others
have done choose Florida as his work ground.— Ed.]

American Peony Society

Address of President A. H. Fewkes, at the London,
Ont., Convention, June 16, 1922

THIS is the first time in the 19 years that have
passed since the organization of the society, that
we have met elsewhere than in the United States.
In the early days of the society's growth our mem-
bership was largely commercial, and the names of
none but residents of the United States appeared on
our list, but as we got under way an occasional name
was added from over the border until now there are
nearly as many Canadian names as our entire mem-
bership then numbered.

This goes to show that the American Peony Society
is making good and fulfilling the purposes for which
it was organized : the popularization of the Peony
through the dissemination of knowledge of its beau-
ties by the exhibition of flowers, the correcting of its
nomenclature, the encouragement of the production
of improved varieties, and the many other things
that are sure to follow the bringing together of so
many people Interested in a common cause.

The Nomenclature Work

The first work of importance taken up by the so-
ciety was in connection with the nomenclature of the
flower, and while this was in contemplation it was
suggested that with its completion our efforts as an
individual society might cease and the results be
turned over to one of the larger societies. Fortunate-
ly the time has never seemed ripe for such a move-
ment, for the simple reason that Peony lovers be-
lieve that their interests can be best served by main-
taining an independent organization; if we are to
retain their confidence we must be constantly on the
alert to keep the names from falling into the same
chaotic condition that prevailed before the organiza-
tion of the society.

The results of the preliminary work along this line
were published in the Cornell Bulletins, but as our
connection with that institution has ceased it is ob-
vious that whatever we accomplish in the future in
the way of authoritative descriptions must appear in
our own publications, either in the form of bulletins
or the long talked of manual which at one of our
meetings some time back the members voted the so-
ciety should publish. This was well and good so far
as it went, but ways and means were not taken into
consideration, or if any thought at all was given to
the matter it was supposed that the secretary and
nomenclature committee would work out a solution.
No one realized the magnitude of the task, and it is
not surprising that comparatively little has been com-
pleted; or, to state it positively, it is surprising that
so much has been accomplished when it is considered
that they were all busy men and simply could not
give the time needful for the completion of the work.
The whole matter has been before the directors for
the past two years and a tentative scheme has been
arrived at which will appear in a future report of the
board.

Registration of New Varieties

Another matter which seems to me of very great
importance is the registration of new varieties. With
the great number of new seedlings being raised, a
large number are sure to be put in commerce and
it is very important that somewhere there should be
a record kept of all those which have received names.
The compiling of our original check list was an ardu-
ous undertaking, for the names had to be obtained
by consulting old catalogs of introducers and by the
tedious reading of notices and articles in horticultural
magazines running back for many years. Systematic
registration will greatly simplify any future work
along these lines.

This, too, has been under consideration by the di-
rectors, but they have met with an obstacle which is
not easily surmounted ; that is, the matter of a color
chart which will be available to everyone, so that
when a variety is described as being of a certain
color there will be no question as to what is meant.
A sub-committee of the board of directors has this
matter under consideration, and it is hoped that some
practicable means will be found to supply such a
chart. But it would seem that the matter of regis-
tration is of sufficient importance to warrant going
ahead with it even without the color chart in the
belief that any introducer would be fully capable of
stating the main facts, whether the flower was white,
pink or red. Other societies are doing this, and it
would seem that we are neglecting one of the im-
portant activities of the society.

The Florists' Exchange

The Symposium a Success

There is one other activity of the society in which
I think we should feel much satisfaction: namely,
the symposium as conducted in the Bulletin of Peony
News Of this it can be said that no other society
is doing better work or work that is more commer-
cially practicable. I must say that I did feel a little
skeptical at first, but I am now thoroughly convinced
of its great usefulness, and as the improved varieties
become more widely grown and exhibited, still better
results may be expected. _

. However, there is one suggestion I would like to
make which I think would enhance its value. _ In
previous lists submitted to the members for scoring,
all types were included in the one list and the ten-
dency is to place in comparison the flowers of one
type with those of some other type, which is not a fan-
way of judging the individual merits of any one va-

ri&ty

I have reference particularly to the true singles,
the Japanese and the Anemone types. For instance
it is not fair to compare a bloom of the single type
with a good bloom of Therese or Le Cygne, but it is
fair to compare two of either of the types. The true
singles, the Japanese, and the Anemone types should
have separate lists and be scored according to them.
The best varieties of each should be selected as
standards and the scoring done according to the same
scale of points as would be used with the doubles so
far as quality is concerned.

Keeping Important Types Separate

Another matter for which the society is not re-
sponsible, but which should be amenable to its wishes.
is the promiscuous listing of the three types men-
tioned above. Many catalogs offer a mixed list of
singles, Japanese, and Anemones. This is most con-
fusing and does not do justice to the varieties of these
three types. The Anemone type is usually classed as
.a Japanese and the true singles are quite often listed
likewise. There is an increasing interest in the fine
varieties of the true singles and the Japanese and
they are worthy of receiving better attention. If we
are to continue recognizing these three types as dis-
tinct why not give them their proper dues?

white flowers in May ; just a little earlier than flow-
ers on the true type. This variety, by the way, Mr.
La Bar believes can be forced to advantage if the
smaller sized plants are selected and purchased for
that purpose: R. minus, from the North Carolina
Mountains, blooming in July with small Azalea-like
deep pink flowers; R. maximum, with its waxy white
or delicately pink flowers, one of the finest; and R.
catawbiense, which conies from the highest peaks of
the Southern Alleghenies, blooming late in May and
bearing bright reddish purple flowers.

When it comes to the native Azaleas, we find in
these nurseries seven distinct varieties : A. canaden-
sis, nudiflora, arborescens, viscosa, calendulacea, Va-
seyi and Rosea, all of highest value in decorative
landscape plantings.

The Mountain Laurel (Kalmia) is noted in two
varieties : K. latifolia, with pure white to pink wheel-
shaped flowers appearing in May or June, and K. an-
gustifolia with deep rose colored flowers appearing in
May.

Other wild plants are to be found in quantity,
among them Leucothoe Catesbsei, Andromeda flori-
bunda, Menziesia pilosa and Vaccinium corymbosum.

It would require a combinatio* of the skilled artist
and successful word painter to attempt a description
of this nursery as it must appear when these plants
are in bloom, always bearing in mind that the ma-
jority are planted on sharp hillsides (where they
show to best advantage). These hills were originally
almost impenetrable with forest growth, which has
necessarily had to be cut down from time to time to
make way for the collections ; sufficient timber being
left standing to afford full protection, although Mr.
La Bar did show us some plants which had made ex-
cellent growth where the sun struck them more di-
rectly.

trove to be found in these Pocono hills, would, we
fear, deplete La Bars.

We cannot leave the nurseries without a word as
to some of the large specimen plants which have
been brought in there. We saw several that stood
from 13ft. to 14ft. in height, and the circumference of
one we placed was over 42ft. Noble plants fitted to fill
noble positions in the landscape.

For The Anna Jarvis Memorial Fund

Editor The Florists Exchange:

Mother's Day has been on the increase yearly since
its inception. Its sentimental appeal to young and
old, to rich and poor, to men and women has placed it
upon a high commercial level. It has produced an
unprecedented demand for flowers at a time when
formerly no great demand existed. It has given the
world an opportunity to express its love and appre-
ciation of mother in the best way imaginable — with
flowers.

Incidentally it has loosened that evil incarnate —
Greed, which has served to discredit this day of days.
The profiteer saw an opportunity to utilize the senti-
ment of the day for his personal gain without thought
for results of the future or feeling for his fellow
beings. The conditions are changing somewhat as a
dim ray of light is beginning to penetrate our money-
mad minds. And now as we are about to appreciate
the opportunity that has been created for us, we are
coming under the spell of the personality of the
woman who is responsible for the origin of the day.

Anna Jarvis, in her great love for and conception of
mother, has built a great monument, a monument
that will live forever. Through her work in the

Treasure Trove

Wle just wonder how many of our readers are
aware that less than 100 miles from New York there
are to be found some 80 odd acres of Treasure Trove —
think we can call the collection that when we con-
sider the proposition en, bloc — anyway we've gone and
done it.

Treasure Trove, because it's the one and only col-
lection of its magnitude containing the treasures with
which Nature has so richly endowed certain of Amer-
ica's States this side of the Rocky Mountains, in the
way of the most distinguished of our native decora-
tive flowering plants: Rhododendrons, Mountain
Laurel, Azaleas and others.

We went out to La Bars Rhododendron Nursery,
Stroudsburg, Pa. the other day. Yes, we had heard
of it. We expected to see some Rhododendrons, but
we didn't expect to be amazed by quantity and qual-
ity; candidly, we were.

Mr. La Bar has been a collector of Rhododendrons
and other native evergreens for twenty years. Just
how long he had entertained the idea of establishing
a nursery for those native plants, a point to where
they could be transplanted and shaped into plants
that would rival imported stock, we really don't
know. However, he had the intention, and followed
it up by the discovery of the ideal spot in which to
locate such a nursery — right in the heart of the
Pocono Mountains, on the north side of the Blue
Ridge chain, and but a few miles away from the
famous Water Gap resort.

This nursery is, therefore, among the hills — hills
already noted for their native broad leaved ever-
greens, so there never has been the slightest doubt
as to its suitability for the purpose required. Plants
collected in North Carolina, West Virginia, Virginia
and Pennsylvania, all thrive here. Due to this ad-
vantage of location and under the skilled handling
they receive, losses are an unknown quantity.

To go back a bit— planting was started in this
ideal location in 1917. Progress since then has been
rapid and continuous, with the result that in less
than six years La Bars has accumulated a stock
from which orders are filled in carload lots. He
can even load up a whole trainload without making
much of a gap in the hillsides. Stock taking was
attempted awhile back but, after counting 250,000
plants in the nursery, it was given up as too long a
job.

Rambling over these hillsides, and occasionally in
■ bottom lands, we found among the Rhododendrons :
R. carolinianum, the smallest of the Allegheny spe-
cies, flowering early in May and carrying rose col-
ored blossoms ; R. carolinianum Margarettse, with

La Bars Rhododendron Nursery, Stroudsburg, Pa.

The illustration shows the entrance to the woodland section of the nursery. At right of roadway are shown plantings ol
R. maximum; at the left are R. catawbiense. Throughout the greater portion of the nurseries similar method of shading

by means of young forest trees is followed.

As a plant collector for over twenty years, Mr.
La Bar is utilizing the knowledge gained from his
observations by also working up salable plants from
the self-sown seedlings found in the pastures right
off the mountainsides.

That the establishing of a nursery for these plants,
where they could be grown on, has its advantages
is self-evident ; the transplanting and growing on in
the nursery grounds improves them wonderfully, and
practically insures their longevity when they are
again lifted to fill orders. Another and almost equally
vital point is that in this nursery each plant has
sufficient space in which to develop, so not only is
the root action accelerated and strengthened, but the
collected plants as they age get a "set" or "dress"
and practically lose the appearance of collected
plants, and take on closely the form of plants that
have been cultivated all their lives. Not by any
means are all the plants transplanted collected stock,
but there are thousands of seedling Rhododendron
catawbiense, R. carolinianum, R. maxima, Kalmia,
and Leucothoe, in the several stages of development.

The requirements of all these native plants are so
easily provided for that one wonders why the demand
for them is not more general. True it is that they
are favorites with quite a number ; otherwise a great
nursery like La Bars could not exist. There is room
for their successful introduction into comparatively
small properties, and nurserymen, gardeners on large
estates, cemetery superintendents, landscape archi-
tects and others who have to provide the material
for large acreages, if they but knew of the treasure

Mother's Day Association she is promoting all that is
good in us and what could be more fitting that we,
the florists who have gained so much commercially
as well as spiritually, should sponsor a movement in
the aid of this work? A Memorial Fund was started
at a recent meeting of the F. T. D. A. after a visit of
Miss Jarvis to Detroit. Surely some honor and recog-
nition is due the creator of the day which has glad-
dened the hearts of so many. There is no more fit-
ting manner of bestowing this honor and recognition
than by subscribing to the Fund that will mean the
life work and endeavor of Miss Jarvis and her asso-
ciates. Let us not fail in this undertaking as we
have failed in some other funds that we have tried
to raise for worthy purposes. Wlio will be the next

Country Club District of Kansas City — Continued from page w

scape treatment of the dis-
trict is due to the combined
landscape engineering gen-
ius of George E. Kessler
and Hare & Hare. The sen-
ior member of the firm of
Hare & Hare also had much
to do with the fundations
for the attention to parks
and good landscaping- in
Kansas City.

It is worthy of note that
Kansas City is asking for
a comparatively large vol-
ume of elaborate landscape
architectural plans. Many
homes for the Country Club
District, particularly for
the estates section, are mod-
eled in clay and landscape
features shown, before final
plans are drawn.

B. S. B.

Dozens of views such as these are found in the
Country Club district, surrounded by sections built
up almost solidly with houses. The brook that
runs through the district is thus made a means
of beautifying it and providing interest, instead
of being enclosed as a "storm sewer."

Incident to the supervision by the com-
pany of all buildings and improvements
appear the phenomena of gasoline filling
stations with well-decorated parks. Every
station has a small park around it, always
landscaped by a competent architect, and
planted by a nurseryman under contract.

It is estimated that when every lot in
the entire district is occupied by a house,
more than 90 per cent of the ground will
be unbuilt upon. This vast surplus gives
a conception of the space for planting.
And the variety of the planting is an in-
teresting phase. Because of the diverse
character of the ground, and the varied
topography, many different types of plant-
ing are possible. There are brooksides,
pedestrian walks, small ponds with Lilies :
there are rock ledges, and wooded hill-
sides.

The district has a variety of homes and
estates. Even those on the smaller lots have been
beautifully landscaped. In certain sections of the
district there are restrictions requiring homes of not
less than $50,000 in cost, one section, Indian Hills,
being devoted exclusively to estates with large tracts
of ground. Mission Hills Estates is for homes on
five to ten acre tracts. This Country Club District
now has a population of about 15,000; and at the
present rate of increase it is expected to have a popu-
lation of approximately 50,000 in the next ten years.

The entire city is permeated by the spirit of beau-
tification, largely inspired by the example of the
Country Club District. The far-sighted planning for
beautification of the city by park boards of a genera-
tion ago. and the engineering genius of Mr. Kessler,
were contributing factors to the successful carrying
out of the plans of J. C. Nichols and the men asso-
ciated with him, in developing a high-class residential
subdivision in the southern part of the city. And a
great deal of credit for the unusually beautiful land-

Novelties at Shows

The Gardeners Chronicle, London, commenting on
the recent Chelsea Show, refers to. the fact that while
the exhibition for size and variety was the finest held
for years, it showed a paucity of new plants, com-
pared with pre-war days. It is thought that the
R. H. S., in addition to its usual awards of merit,
should offer special inducements to raisers and breed-
ers in the way of liberal rewards. Our contemporary
conceives that the pandering to the spectacular side
of horticulture may react upon the creative and
poorly recompensed side.

If such is the case in England what may be said
.of this country? We hear rumors of this, 'that and
the other novelty, but at the various shows how many
new things do we really see?

. If close upon thirty certificated novelties is a poor
showing at Chelsea, leaving out those that failed
to win awards, we fear New York and other Ameri-
can shows make a far worse contribution.

A Book of Delight for Garden Lovers

"Truly Rural"* isn't really a garden book. It
doesn't tell one how to do this and that, nor does it
include variety lists, planting tables or directions as
to how to spray and what for. Yet it is just the kind
of book that will fan the flame of garden interest,
both in the hearts of those in whom it already flares'
and in the hearts of those who have yet to know the
joy of becoming inoculated. For it is one of those
personal experience books, in which a man tells how
he was led into the purchase of a country place (even
though he thought he couldn't afford it) and how
with the help and connivance of his delightful wife'
he made it into the sort of place that almost anyone
would be glad to own and to live in— .that is if one
likes quaint things, quaint ideas, books, independence
growing trees and flowers, and the real outdoors

Incidentally, whatever the author chances to talk
about, he does it most interestingly, so that while
the spirit of the garden is always present, it never
becomes oppressive nor monotonous. Moreover he
has a sense of humor, so that while he can hold all
garden enthusiasts (himself included) up to gentle
ridicule, he makes his victims proud of the very en-
thusiasm he jibes at. For, as he says, in talking
about the "spring and fall of man,"

The only way to get rid of this temp-
tation is to yield to it. * * * The onlv

ards is to become flowersots your-

And again he says, "Eve made a great
mistake: she said it with an apple Had
she said it with flowers, the course of
the world might have been altered."

As & matter of fact there are practi-
cal hints and inspirational suggestions
m the book, plenty of them. Mr.
Wright hopes, for example,
"that some day American garden lovers
will correspond with others in various
parts of the world, the way stamp col-
lectors do, exchanging seeds and, where
customs regulations permit plants A

It is, indeed, and we commend it to the F H B
with the urgent hope that it may suggest to that
body that there may be something else than danger
in the interchange of plants across national boun-
daries—even by "mere amateurs."

Yes, "Truly Rural" is truly enjoyable and worth
while— to read aloud or to one's self, to recommend
to a friend, or to give to anyone for whom you want
to provide real pleasure.

Setting the Pace in Plant Propagation

onlv lived but actually made phenomenal growth the
oast Summer in spite of one of the most severe
droughts for several years. Three things account
for this: first, the fact that many of these plants
were mulched throughout the season with coarsely
shredded corn stalks ; second, that some of the heav-
iest feeding crops received regular applications of
liquid manure early in the season when they were
getting established and making their initial growth;
and third, that every foot of the ground on which
any' of these stocks were planted was not only plowed
but deeply subsoiled as well. Such is Mr. Koster's
thoroughness, made possible in this case by the re-
sources of Seabrook Farms which, at one stage of his
soil fitting proceedings, had nine three-horse teams
at work in the fields at one time !

present, center around his propagating facilities and
methods rather than his field operations. The former
already include one complete and ultra-modern prop-
agating house in full operation; two more houses of
identical construction now under way; a packing,
storage and work building with which his complete
range of five glass houses will ultimately be con-
nected; and an imposing range of coldframes in four
ranks, the total number planned being 150, of which
50 or more are now finished and in use.

The work building is some 100ft. long and about
40ft. wide, of two stories and a basement, the latter
divided into several cold but frost-proof storage com-
partments. On the ground floor are ample spaces
and benches for doing all kinds of propagating work,
grafting, making cuttings, packing, sorting, potting,
etc. On the floor above is abundant space for the
storage of miscellaneous plant materials as well as
crates, packing material, fibre, and all sorts of sup-
plies. The five glass houses, all hot-water heated
from a central plant, will extend toward the south
from the main building, and, at the far end open out
upon a roadway separating them from the first row
of frames. The one house that was in use when I
visited the nursery last Fall is representative of all
five.

In its exterior dimensions and construction it is a
standard iron-frame Hitchings house, 67ft. long, 24ft.
wide, and 5ft., 2 in. high at the eaves— 2ft. 6in. being
allowed for wall and 2ft. Sin. for vertical sash.
Within, the house is decidedly unique, every detail
and dimension having been planned by Mr. Koster in
relation to what he has learned about plant propaga-
tion in the course of — I won't say how many years of
experience in Holland. "At home," he told me, "I
could have called in any good carpenter or artisan
and told him to build me a propagating house in the
knowledge that he would know what to build and
how to build it. Over here, your builders have their
standard ideas from which they don't know how or
don't care to depart — so it was a question of my
working out every step of the construction and then
seeing that every little point was carried out. As a
result, I have what I want, and with it I can get the
results I desire."

Bench Construction that is Different

What are some of these things he wanted? First,
the benches. There are four, two against the walls
and two in the center, of 3in. concrete construction
as to frame and T-iron and bench tile bottoms. Under
each bench are nine 2in. pipes ; under each of
the center benches — which, by the way, are built with
solid walls and adjustable ventilator openings every
few feet — is one 3in. pipe. The benches are approxi-
mately 4ft. wide and all are covered with glass sash,
each sash of a single pane about 24in. wide except
at the end where one sash is only 13in. wide. By
shifting this half-sash from one end to the other it is
possible to move the whole lot half their width so as
to prevent the shadows of the sash frames from con-
stantly falling upon the same parts of the bench.
The sash lie perfectly flat so as to permit the light to
fall straight upon the plants beneath and also in
order that the atmospheric conditions shall be iden-
tical at all points in the bed. The sash are merely
laid on, but pegs in the back of the frame of the
bench prevent them from slipping when they are
lifted for ventilation and held up at an angle by
means of long hooks attached to horizontal rods above
the benches. Between the two center benches is a
shallow sloping gutter to catch and carry off any sur-
plus moisture that might otherwise run down upon
and injure the plants.

For shading the benches there are long strips of
cloth just the width of the sash and fastened at either
end to wooden rollers so that they can quickly be
rolled up and lifted out of the way. To produce still
denser shade there is on the outside of the roof of the

house a series of shades made of light wooden slats
which may be rolled up or let down by means of
cords, like Venetian porch blinds, without disturbing
the interior of the house in the least. As a high de-
gree of humidity is essential in the propagation of
broad leaved evergreens — there were some tens of
thousands of newly grafted Rhododendrons filling
every corner of the house when I visited it — every
precaution has been taken to create this condition.
Perhaps the most unique is a small Skinner irrigation
system installed just under the front of each side
bench and designed to throw streams of water in
three directions : out on the pathway, against the
front concrete wall of the central bench, and up into
the air of the path ; little wonder that the atmosphere
within the house is indeed Turkish-bath-like! But,
however much it makes one's collar wilt, it is just
the thing for "Rhodys" and their kin.

Improved Frames by the Hundred

Coldframes are necessarily more prosaic than such
a house, but Mr. Koster's have their interesting fea-

fully as great durability ; moreover, if the necessity
ever arose, they could be taken apart as the lumber
would be practically as good as ever for use else-
where. Besides this, Mr. Koster employs a device to
lengthen the life of his frames that might well be
duplicated anywhere. Lining each frame from the
soil level down is a false wall of cheap half-inch
boards nailed to cleats that keep them about an inch
from the actual walls of the frame. It is against
this false wall that the moist soil rests and that it
in time rots away. But at such time, the thin boards
can be replaced at very slight expense leaving the
frame itself as sound as a bell. All these are such
little things that they seem hardly worth mentioning,
yet they illustrate the skill, wisdom and thoroughness
that are going to be largely responsible for whatever
success comes to the new nursery and its valiant
proprietor.

Did space permit I would like to tell more of Mr.
Koster himself as he impressed me during the enjoy-
able hours that I spent in his company looking over
the nursery. Simple, affable, sincere; intensely seri-

P. M. Koster in his prop-
agating house, which has
been called by nursery-
men who have seen it,
without exception, the
most conveniently ar-
ranged and substantially
built propagating house
in America. Mr. Koster
personally worked out
every detail of the in-
terior arangement, and as
a result of his lifetime
experience in Holland,
plus his many years' ac-
quaintance with condi-
tions in this country, he
has produced a model of
convenience and efficiency
in propagating houses.

tures, too. For instance, they have but a very slight
pitch — again so as to insure uniform atmospheric con-
ditions throughout. They are arranged in four col-
umns each, ten sash wide, with just sufficient space
between the columns to permit the piling of five sash
and five mats at each end and leave room for a wagon
to drive between. In this way a minimum of lifting
and carrying is provided for in placing or removing
the frame covers. The mats in use when I was there
were not the familiar straw contraptions, but neat,
light, durable cane or bamboo affairs, easily and
quickly rolled up and carried off, or as easily spread
over two or three sash.

I was a bit surprised not to find the frames made
of concrete, but indeed the sound, heavy 2in. stock
with stout 2in. by 4in. posts gave an impression of

ous but with his seriousness ever and again relieved
by touches of quaint humor ; enthusiastic over his
hopes and plans to make his nursery a sort of lode-
stone to draw to that section other horticulturists —
other sons of his original country, perhaps — but In
any case workers who also have ideals and stand-
ards ; revealing another and a most appealing side of
his nature in his tender, affectionate companionship
with his little son Rudolph — who seems already to be
inclining toward the work his father is doing so well ;
— all these are but a few of the characteristics that
come back to me as I write of him. Notes that recall
to me a student, a worker, a worthy representative of
a famous horticultural family, a plantsman whom
Holland can be proud to have produced, and whom
America can now be proud to claim as her own.

Holland Flower Shipments by Air

Our good friend, P. M. Koster, of Bridgeton, N. J.,
sends us a copy of Wereldkroniek, an illustrated Hol-
land newspaper, which illustrates and comments
upon the shipments of cut flowers from Boskoop to
London. One or two London newspapers have seen
in this invasion a menace to the British flower grow-
ers whose produce may be 12 to 16 hours on the
rail against the Holland air service of four or five.
The British trade press, however, has shown no
alarm ; the Holland competition is at all times se-
vere but, in a general way, the Holland produce only
finds a market because it has to be sold at some
price, so that it is unlikely that any but special
produce could stand the cost of air transport.

One London paper, seeking the views of a well-
known importer of French flowers, learned that there
was little possibility of the Hollanders making any-
thing with June shipments of flowers. The Summer
demand, owing to the abundance of outdoor flowers
in England is, in Covent Garden, only about 5 per
cent of what it is in Winter and early Spring. Be-
cause of this fact, the French flowers only find a mar-
ket in Winter ; the stock would not meet the carriage
costs after the English outdoor stock starts.

This London importer has a pretty good line of
reasoning, for if imported flowers will not pay rail
charges in June, there is little hope of air shipments
paying their way, however fresh they may be. The
Boskoop flowers have to be railed or trucked to Rot-
terdam, airplaned to Croydon and again trucked the
nine or more miles to Covent Garden. Even Spring

shipments would more or less fail, because the Eng-
lish Guernsey and Scilly crops are in at the same
time as the Holland produce.

As to forced crops it goes without saying that
most of the Covent Garden supplies are grown within
easy reach of London and if the provinces require
speed shipments, one may assume that the many
English air services would easily cope with the traffic
if it will bear the cost. Possibly the heavy tariff put
on flowers by the French government has prompted
the Hollanders to seek openings elsewhere.

It may be said here that the greatly increased Hol-
land output of cut flowers and forced produce is more
or less wholly due to Qu. 37. Boskoop and its vicin-
ity were formerly devoted to plant stock for export.
The American embargo compelled the Boskoop to turn
their attention to other lines, which were largely di-
verted to the English markets, already well taken
care of. The result of this is a more or less deter-
mined rally of the British trade, both floral and
vegetable. The cooperative advertising campaign with
its movie films is already making English Tomatoes
and Cucumbers a byword, and there is evidence that
the florists and nurserymen will follow the lead in
due course.

Assuredly the situation across the water is both
complex and interesting. Will Britain keep her doors
wide open and leave the business men to evolve
ways and means to keep on top as they have usu-
ally managed to do, or follow American methods? We
certainly believe that air transport will revolutionize
the handling of light shipments, but whether it will
raise or lower consumer costs remains to be seen.

Texas State Florists Association

Eighth Annual Convention Sets Record of Achievement at Dallas,

July 5, 6 and 7, 1922

Texas,

Due to some cause or causes unknown to us at this hour of going to press, we have failed to receive the forepart
of the report of the recent convention of the Texas Slate Florists Association. Regret this, but it's not our fault

Officers Elected for Ensuing Year :
President : James Begbie, Shreveport, La.
Vice-President : Tom Wolfe, Jr., Waco, Tex.
Secretary-Treasurer : Wise Adkisson, Green-
ville, Tex.

Member of Board of Directors : Vebner J.

Davis, Fort Worth, Tex.
More than enough S. A. F, members were
. secured to entitle the Texas Association to
a membership on the National Society's Board
of Directors, which will be filled by Mr.
Begbie.

THE eighth annual convention of the Texas State
Florists Association was by far the biggest affair
of the kind ever held by the florists in Texas.
The trade exhibits were double those of any previous
convention. It was though that there was unlimited
space, but the entire Coliseum was utilized. A list of
the exhibitors will be forthcoming later.

The convention was notable for its large attendance
of prominent out-of-the-State florists, and for its
many unique features of entertainment. It certainly
lived up to its slogan, "The Convention of the Hour."
One of its most pleasing features was the School of
Designing, conducted by Mr. Miller, of George Wein-
hoeber's Chicago Store. This feature alone put a
great deal of life into the convention, and no doubt
the florists of Texas will demand a repetition of this
feature in their conventions for several years to
come.

Friday Morning Session

"Cooperation Between Florists and Nurserymen in
Texas," was first discussed by John S. Kerr, Sherman,
Tex., who spoke in part, as follows :

I have been a nurseryman for 47 years and in Texas
63 or 64 years, but it was before the days of artifi-
cial flowers or any horticultural growth of any kind,
and I have watched with interest the advancement
of our industry in this State.

Estheticism a Factor in Business

Beauty, comfort, luxury, estheticism, are among
the ultimate motives, hence much in the thought and
purposes of both florist and nurserymen. "Say it
with Flowers" is the slogan of the florists. To make
the world more beautiful and comfortable is the
purpose of the nurseryman, and one to be honestly
and earnestly pursued as a life work. It has much
to do with the culture of the heart and the shaping
of the life of the operator. In war, the brave sol-
dier accustomed to scenes of carnage, bloodshed, de-
struction and vengeance naturally becomes brutish
and destructive, so the man of estheticism, the flo-
rist and the nurseryman, with purposes of beauty and
comfort, and dealing with the wonderful creations
and the wonderful possibilities of nature, a partner,
as it were, of the allwise and beneficent Creator in
all His wondrous works of creation, falls far short
of his opportunity and his calling if he does not
respond to these highest instincts of the heart and
the purposes of life, the acme of which is "to love
thy neighbor as thyself, and the Lord thy God with
all thy heart." Estheticism then becomes a strong
asset in the business of these callings.

Since the basic principles of the business of the
florist and nurseryman are so nearly related, it would
argue that they have much in common. The question
naturally arises as to the common ground for coopera-
tion between the two lines. How to accomplish the
business details to bring out the obtainable results is
perhaps the crux of the situation. Sentiment may be
all important and play a large part in the affairs of
men, yet the stern principles of sound business are
to be observed when it comes to getting results.

Much as the two businesses may seem analagous,
yet m business operation they are very distinct and
different. Some suggest that the florist may well
add a side line of nursery stock for the benefit of his
customers, and the nurseryman add a greenhouse
side line for the same reason. Experience and obser-
vation have convinced me, and others also, that

nothing is to be gained by such a combination ; or if
it is done, that the two should be conducted as sepa-
rate departments, else serious losses will result.

The very facts that the florist operates and flour-
ishes indoors by artificial heat, and the nurseryman
outdoors by natural means, carry with them a long
list of important details determining widely varying
results.

Cooperation for Nurserymen and Florists

Of course there are exceptions to all general rules.
Eventually every man or woman must work out his
or her own destiny, according to the demands of
trade and the opportunities at hand. Still there are
many ways in which florists and nurserymen may
cooperate. Most assuredly there should and does
exist most cordial relations between the advocates
of the two lines. May it never grow less, but grow
stronger and more cordial as time goes on.

The world is much swayed by education. We are
creatures of circumstance and influence. Advertising,
therefore, is a very patent factor in life. This ap-
plies with wonderful force as to the interests of
florists and nurserymen.

Some Effects of Advertising

By intelligent, persistent advertising California
Grape growers are making their vineyards more
profitable. The Apple orchardists of the Northwest
are creating a profitable market for their overplus of
Apples by their educational campaign of "Eat More
Apples."

You florists have caught the spirit, as evidenced by
your raising $50,000 a year for advertising, and you
are reaping the benefits in larger and more profitable
trade with larger results in prospect.

The American Association of Nurserymen started
out well along the same line, which was championed
by a Texas man, then president of the association, in
which much good educational advertising is being
done for horticultural interests. Cooperation between
florists and nurserymen in various educational cam-
paigns is very important. Every live florist and
nurseryman should write articles for the press, which
the latter is usually glad to publish as coming from
intelligent, practical sources.

Now as to a Texas Botanical Garden. England
has her Kew Gardens, Boston its Arnold Arboretum,
St. Louis its Missouri Botanic Gardens. Many other
cities have municipal gardens and parks created and
maintained in the interests of introducing, testing,
propagating and disseminating new and little-known
varieties, and the introduction of exotic varieties, of
trees and plants from related sections abroad. Texas
has lost millions of dollars and wasted valuable time
by planting classes and varieties of flora not adapted
to our conditions. The climatic and soil conditions
are peculiar and varied. The great Architect, our
allwise Creator, has fashioned and "brought into
being a class of flora "to the manner born," which is
at home as much under our trying conditions as the
Atlantic Coast flora is at home in that moist and
equable climate. Texas needs to familiarize and
popularize these adapted native and exotic plants,
so that our gardens and parks may produce the joy
and success intended, instead of the failures of plant-
ing unadapted flora.

Plea for a Texas Arboretum

The florists and nurserymen may and should co-
operate in support of a Texas Arboretum and Bo-
tanic Garden. Both should use their influence to
gain the active support of all other organizations and
persons who feel an interest in a more beautiful
Texas.

The question of Inspection Law is coming up be-
fore us, and it needs the watchful care of the nur-
serymen and florists. No extreme measures should
be enacted into a law which would impose a burden
on the florist and nurseryman, to be later passed on
to the customer.

One Man's Views of Quarantine 37

Regarding Quarantine 37, I understand there are
men in this audience who are opposed to my opinion
and will take issue with me, but I speak from my

personal experience and opinions. I believe back of
all this law was a selfish interest. I do not ne«S
to go into detail to describe it. The idea of America
for Americans only may be carried too far. I will
say from a nurseryman's standpoint that we get a
better grade of Apples from Europe than from our
own growing ; in some instances we have dug up some
of those of our own growing and substituted the im-
ported. These things should be gone into from a
broader and larger view of true Americanism. I
know I am treading on dangerous ground Mr Ver-
halen is greatly in favor of Qu. No. 37, while Mr
Vaughan is opposed to it. I believe I am on the mid-
dle ground between both of them.

At this point the convention was favored with a
solo by Mrs. Lang, who very sweetly sang "An Old-
fashioned Garden." This was most appropriate and
much enjoyed.

National Flower Growers Association

Cincinnati District

The meeting of the Cincinnati District growers held
on July 5 at Nick Weron's range was an interesting
one, and considerable enthusiasm was shown. Three
new members were added to the list, namely Ed.
Schumann (Pride of Newport), Newport, Ky., A J.
Horning, Cincinnati, O., and Frank L. Deller, Cincin-
nati, O. The matter of advertising was discussed for
some time and it seemed to be the general opinion of
the members that the most feasible means in collecting
for the advertising fund would be to assess each
grower % of 1 per cent of his gross receipts. While
it is true that there are some who probably would not
bear their share of this expense — you will find in all
cases there will be slackers— but we hope eventually
to be able to convince each grower of the value of
advertising and have them do their part. Out of a
total of 23 members there were only three absent
and these were busily engaged.

Committees were appointed to find the "Cost of
Production" on various pot plants and cut flowers
and are expected to render a thorough report in the
near future. While it was thought by some that it
would be advisable to pass over the meeting for
August, it was decided that in view of the enthusias-
tic crowd present, that we should not forego our
August meeting ; if anything have two a month.

Preceding the meeting, we gave Mr. Weron's place
the "once over" and those who had never seen the
range considered their time well spent. The fact that
there is very little level of ground in the neighbor-
hood did not hinder the building of greenhouses; I
venture to say that the last greenhouse is 75ft. lower
than the first one. Mr. Weron also gave us a demon-
stration with his Fordson; it takes nerve to ride
around on those hills on that bird. The luncheon and
refreshments served by Mr. Weron after the meeting
were par excellence, and any one attempting to go
him one better will have to step some. The next meet-
ing will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 2, at the estab-
lishment of our worthy president, R. Witterstaetter.
Joseph Imholte, Secretary.

Mrs. Robert Craig

Owing to the absence of our Philadelphia represen-
tative at the Nurserymen's Convention, we failed to-
receive promptly the sad news of the death on June
27, of Mrs. Margaret Mayne Craig (nee Patterson)
wife of Philadelphia's well known florist. This came
as a great shock and surprise to their friends as Mr.
and Mrs. Craig, only four days previous, had gone-
to Ocean Grove, N. J., to open their Summer home-
for the season. Mrs. Craig had been in poor health
for some time, but it was hoped that, as in past years,
a sojourn at the seashore would greatly benefit her.
The funeral was held from the Craig city residence-
on July 1, masses of beautiful floral offerings testi-
fying to the high regard in which Mrs. Craig was
held by the many members of the trade who had met
her either as a charming hostess, or as an enthusias-
tic attendant at florists gatherings. One of the-
most pleasant recollections of her hospitality is that
of Oct. 1920, when Mr. and Mrs. Craig celebrated
their golden wedding anniversary in the presence of
a host of their friends and acquaintances. Mrs. Craig
is survived by four children William P., Robert A.,
Edna and Mary, in addition to Mr. Craig, to ail of
whom are extended the sincere sympathy of the trade..

ade Notes

From all growers doing a shipping

business comes the word that whereas
aj year ago, all kinds of plants such as
Primroses, ferns, Cyclamen and all kinds
of stock for growing on had to be
pushed, and in many instances sacrificed,
this year finds the ease entirely reversed.
Furthermore the demand for 'Mums is
phenomenal, and it is safe to estimate
at least 50,000 more 'Mums are planted
this year than last. Many greenhouses
that have been empty for a number of
years are being planted to 'Mums.

Jean Robinson is now bringing in some
verv fine Halley Gladioli and Clarkia.
jean has the honor of being first with
Gladioli this season,
i Nick's Flower Home reports a very
fine Spring planting business, and as
soon as he is finished planting a few
belated boxes and beds, he says he is
afraid that his fever will have to be at-
tended to or something. The doctors
say it is "Fishermanitis." At any rate
we have hopes of Nick recovering.

Fred Sehnapp, son of the well-known
florist, Julius Sehnapp, was presented
with an eight-pound boy, and a prouder
man never walked in shoes.

F. Niklas has acquired a new Buick,
and although he has not yet mastered
the art of running it, expects to be an
enthusiast soon. Some say they want
ringside seats when he takes his first
lesson.

George Teufel and Mrs. Teufel, for-
merly Miss Lillian Burkhart, have re-
turned from their honeymoon, and are
now living up on the hill in their new
home. This is one case where Mrs.
Teufel can't kick when hubby works
late, early and all the time, as she
surely must have known what a florist's
life is, having been one for a few years.
With the temperature standing at 90,
and the humidity very high, it is easy to
understand how flowers are little thought
of. The regular seaside migration is the
order of the day, and many of the best
flower buyers are out of town. The only
activity is a few belated weddings, and
the usual run of funeral work, which
can be reported to be well up to the
standard for this time of the year.

Flowers of all kinds are plentiful, but
the warm weather keeps the help busy
on a Monday morning, seeing that the
garbage man does not run out of work.
On real hot days, Sweet Peas last but
one day and Carnations turn sleepy
in two days. It is with pleasure that
we welcome the Gladiolus, the queen of
all the Summer flowers ; it is the flower
that gives value for money received.
Roses are now of very poor quality, and
the growers are drying them off now for
the Summer. The Carnation is also less
in evidence. Some Carnation men have
the entire place replanted already and
the rest will soon be set for another year.
When we stop and think, we have al-
ready seen half a year flow by, and it
will soon be a cry of Thanksgiving and
Christmas and then another year. As
we grow older, each succeeding year
seems to gather speed until months seem
as weeks.

The potted stock, although very lim-
ited, is equal to the demand. The fern
supply is very good, and contrary to the
usual condition, they sell very well.
Gloxinias are too delicate to take with
the general run of flower buyers, but
still find many admirers who are willing
to overlook their tenderness. H. N.

florists and public spirited people, under
the auspices of the Society of Ornamental
Horticulture and the Denver Garden Club.
_ No charge to exhibitors nor any admis-
sion fee — all is made possible by the City
of Denver giving free use of the big Audi-
torium. Over $10,000 worth of stock was
displayed in last year's show; there will
be still more this season, since many ex-
hibitors from out of the State are plan-
ning to show new varieties of 'Mums,
Roses and Carnations. This show is much
for public education, which means indi-
rect profit to growers. C. R. Root.

Ants as Plant Eaters

Outside of termites, we do not usually
class ants as a serious menace to plant
culture, but it would seem that under
some conditions even usually harmless
pests will do serious damage. The pro-
longed dry weather in England has ap-
parently induced the common ant to be-
come vegetarian. They have stripped
Pansies and other plants in the open
ground, leaving nothing but dried up
skeletons. It has been reported, too, that
even ladybirds and other carnivorous in-
sects will, on occasion, acquire vegetarian
tastes.

That Diamond Wedding Grower

Reference has been made to the 60th
wedding anniversary of James Sweet, the
Erica and pot plant specialist near Lon-
don. It is worthy of note that he was in
active business 52 years, only retiring in
1914.

He started life as a garden boy, and
decided to go into business when he was
21. At one time he specialized in Grapes,
and as far back as 1861 he was salesman
of his own produce in Covent Garden.

When Geo. Monro started in business as
a wholesaler, Mr. Sweet handed him a
basket of Grapes with the remark: "You
can sell this as your first consignment."
Later, Monro handled all the Sweet out-
put other than pot plants. Mr. Sweet
only once exhibited at a R. H. S. show,
when he gained a cup and gold medal.
The business is now run by his grandsons,
his son having died in 1912.

Have You Experienced It?

Most plant growers possessing that in-
stinct for improving or breeding plants,
know what it is to lose a plant or be
denied the pleasure of seeing it just as
it was about to flower.

I was reading a story of an English
nurseryman who, by chance, found two
unusually fine forms among a batch of
seedling Geums. He marked them for
seed, but it so happened that a clumsy lad
hoed the top off one, and the other, later,
attracted the eye of a lady visitor, who
picked the flower and carried it to the
office to ascertain what it was. Imagine
the delight of the grower. I've had some.

Some Waterfall

My confrere at Boston not long since
elaborated on the fact that at the Wild
Flower Show there was a waterfall over
which tumbled 300 gallons a minute. I
note that one of the trade exhibitors,
Pulham & Son, at the York Gala (three
days) staged a mountain garden, with a
cascade of water which tumbled over at
the rate of 30,000 gallons an hour.

American Roses in England

A trade writer commenting on Premier,
Columbia, Frank Dunlop and Rose Marie,
says their outstanding character is their
long lasting when cut. These have all
withstood the dry conditions prevailing
in England last year and the present sea-
son, and while all are more or less near
each other in color, the trade is urged to
watch them closely.

Another Rose well spoken of is
Aspirant Marcel Rouger, which has defied
the two hot, dry Summers, and far out-
classed Sunburst.

Who Counted Them?

A contemporary, referring to the popu-
larity of the Peony, mentions that in one
amateur's garden at Akron, Ohio, 20,000
blooms were counted this season. I
wouldn't want the job myself, especially
if they were all out at one time. If they
were not, perhaps there was some double
counting.

Maybe, however, the 20,000 were count-
ed as they were cut and shipped to com-
pete with the regular growers stock. As
a rule, when an amateur has so many
Peonies on his place, he has ceased to be a
bona fide amateur; he might not admit
it, but there is no earthly reason for
growing acres of Peonies except for profit.

Nemesia strumosa

P. Barnhart refers to these beautiful
annuals as seen in his recent travels. He
does not mention the date he first became

acquainted with it, but it sure has im-
proved since it was first brought from
South Africa, some 30 years ago. It
really did not become popular until Sut-
tons sent out their compact strain Suttoni,
and in the last ten years or so the gor-
geous tints that have been developed are
truly wonderful. In 1918 I had in my
camp garden a bed of Dobbie's strain
which literally beat the band.
- I can imagine that in California the
Nemesia, as well as the Sehizanthus,
make a wonderful show. One can readily
assume that the seed growers there ob-
tained the finest strains Europe had to
offer, some, perhaps, were even favored
with special stock seed by the European
specialists, who, during the dark days ,of
the war, were never sure how thing's
would pan out. Stock seed is something
that money cannot buy, and if lost it
would take -years to develop its like.

Save Your Fingers

That's a great idea of J. C. Ruten-
schroer. Is there a real plantsman who
can tolerate a trowel or- dibber except
for large plants? If the soil is loose as
it ought to be, one can't help using the
fingers, even though one knows it means
spoiled hands. Maybe that's one of the
reasons why European gardeners make a
better showing. They aren't thinking
about their hands all the time; in fact,
one rarely sees any class of workmen
wearing gloves or hand protectors, save
handlers of bricks.

I'm afraid my hands aren't in keeping
with journalism, and therefore I can
never hope to make any impression as a
society man.

National Publicity Campaign

Information furnished by John Young,
43 West 18lh Street, New York

The campaign continues to hold the in-
terest of the trade generally, and the
publicity committee is busy with its prep-
arations for late Summer and Fall ac-
tivities. Rather more of their time than
should be necessary is taken up with finan-
cial matters. It is easy enough to map
out procedure, but financing is a differ-
ent proposition. As has frequently been
mentioned of late, the great handicap in
the committee's work is scarcity of funds,
mainly caused by the remissness of sub-
scribers in taking up their pledges. Just
why a florist treats such a matter with
indifference is beyond understanding. He
is not asked to contribute more than he
can afford, and usually is considered as
well able to discharge his pledges, but he
is tardy in doing so, and thus contributes
to the concern which it seems the lot of
the committee to experience.

It is not fair to this small body of men
who bear the brunt of the campaign, and
do their best to carry out the plans which
they are expected to formulate. Did they
fall down in their work as some of the
subscribers do in their pledges, a howl
would be heard through the length and
breadth of the land. The responsibilities
they are obliged to assume are onerous
enough without also having to form them-
selves into a collection agency to get in
the funds which, properly, should be
placed at their disposal without delay.

Business has been good in the florist
trade for some months, and it is hard to
account for the tardiness in taking up
pledges, which is the chief complaint of
the publicity committee. Without doubt,
delinquents become such through thought-
lessness, or because they have not filed
their memoranda received from the secre-
tary as statements of accounts. If they
will only now consider them seriously and
reflect for a moment that this money is
needed by the committee to defray adver-
tising bills, they may be stirred to action,
and send in their cheques, so that the
members of the committee may not be
placed in a dilemma which few of those
making pledges would care to encounter.

Bumble Bee

Over a Rose a Bumble Bee swung,
Telling his love in a husky tongue,
But he didn't make any hit with the

Rose, .. , ,

Your face is all furry, why couldn't you

You're a regular cave bee, the way you
behave."

He chuckled and flew to a pale Sweet

Pea
He love'd all the buds (he was that sort

of bee). j_mw

But Miss Pea just shook out a tendrllly

Pouting: "Be off, I'm a good little girl."
White Lily was cold, Petunia a tease,
They were lovely and languid, and
weary of bees.

But some one is waiting beyond in the

"Who loves wicked Bumble. She's com-

And she keeps it for Bumble, bad bee

What's New in the Flower Shops

By ALMA E. KLUNDER

JUNE 17th was the date of sailing of seven large
European steamers, and they carried jointly a
quota of eight thousand passengers. I believe
there was not a retail florist in New York City who
did not have his share of orders for the steamers,
and there were many out of town orders as well. It
certainly looks as if things were again back to the
good old rush season days.

I must tell you how attractively one of our leading
florists emphasizes the solicitation of steamer orders.
He has a large "spic and span" life belt on the upper
half of which appears the wording, "Say it with
Flowers," in big, black letters; on the lower half,
"Bon Voyage." This belt is surrounded with attrac-
tive baskets, all set in a garden of palms and ferns.
To one side is a bulletin showing where the different
vessels are booked to sail.

Another florist, who also
specializes in steamer orders,
has models of two ships in
his window; one a European
vessel, the other a sailing
boat. Green and red immor-
telles cover the bodies, while
the balance consists of regu-
lation fittings of such vessels.
The smokestacks, lifeboats,
etc., are gilded, and the whole
presents a very fine adver-
tisement.

In one shop my attention
was attracted to Japanese
hanging baskets. These were
made of finely woven rush,
and ornamented. The upper
half was painted a brilliant
Cornflower blue, and the
lower half yellow; a yellow
tassel hung below. Three gilt
chains were used for hanging.
A tin which will hold a good
sized Boston fern goes with
each basket. The baskets re-
tail at $3. They can be filled
with vines and inexpensive
plants, and present a beauti-
ful gift novelty. The Japa-
nese Water Hyacinth is also
pretty, and this is being used
very generously in goldfish
aquariums. The Water Hya-
cinths retail at 20c. to 50c.
each.

I had an interesting chat
with the manager of an ar-
tistic flower shop. He told me how the shop came to
use its basement storeroom and makeup shop for a
display of art novelties. Rents were high and the
space used for the usual florist dumping ground too
costly for such purposes, so they decided to gather up

all the latest novelties in which flowers could be
arranged and turned the basement into a wonderful
show room. Here one finds the old Italian ware,
Bohemian and Tiffany glass, peachblow vases, etc.
A large peachblow bowl had pink and white Pond
Lilies floating in it. Just imagine the iridescent blue
aurene, the gold aurene, amber, cool sage green, or-
ange and pale yellow moulded into bowls, vases, etc.,
and you will picture what his basement art novelty
shop looks like. He also has wrought iron stands
to hold the bowls. Added to this are a number of
pieces of Italian marble, such as garden settees, flower
urns, etc. He has such a demand for glass flower
cubes that he imports them direct from the manu-
facturer. These cubes hold the flowers erect in the
low flat bowls. Of course, if you want to bank several

of these cubes in a low bowl, as I saw in one florist
shop, it is best to use the wire caches. They are
painted green and are not noticeable. For the home
the glass cubes are best and cleaner.

A window which looked cool and refreshing had

ivy arranged on the inside of window pane, so as to
give it a picture frame effect. This provided a fine
setting for a large bowl filled with handsome Ameri-
can Beauty Roses.

In a rather unusual window arrangement, the en-
tire display was made in a dark green velvet carpet.
In the center an Italian fount held a copper bowl
of fine pink Roses. On each side was a tall stand,
about 5ft. high, having tubular sections, and resting
on a tripod. The stand was painted copper color,
each tube filled with flowers. Vines and Summer
flowers gave the finishing touches. Palms and ferns
were arranged in groups in back of this setting. It
was so different from anything in window decora-
tions I have seen so far.

Have you seen the tan tin boxes about 3ft.x5ft., for
plants? One shop had dwarf
Orange plants with soft green
ferns intermingled arranged
therein. Orange ribbon was
drawn tightly around the box
and finished with pretty ro-
settes in each end. This re-
ceptacle is very fine for plac-
ing on a wrought iron window
stand. The latter is great for
holding a palm which is in-
tended to stand out conspicu-
ously. It is wonderful for
the grouping idea generally
employed, where palms and
foliage plants are placed to-
gether.

A busy florist has his rib-
bons cut in proper lengths, with
bws at the ends, all ready for
a shower bouquet or a simple
corsage shower. The ribbon
used is silk chiffon, one-half
inch wide in various colors.

1 Here's a suggestion for the

florist who deals in window
boxes: Paint the boxes the
same color as the awnings.
Then, to a certain extent, the
flowers also should be kept in
harmony. Burnt orange is
one of the favorite colors for
awnings this year, and this
bright color is usually bound
with black.
I spoke of a beautiful pic-
ture window in one of my
previous articles. Well, I
want to tell you that this
reat vase of Easter Lilies with

week's picture was a

a foreground of tiny, mossy ferns.

In my next article I will touch upon the arrange-
ment of cut flowers in various ways, showing what
changes have taken place in this line.

Where Original Publicity Paid

IT has been only a comparatively short time since
florists as a whole began to take kindly to the
idea of publicity for their business. The stimulus
of nationwide publicity, the keenness of competition
in large cities and the modernizing of the whole busi-
ness have been the greatest factors in the awakening
of even the small town florist to the need of some
sort of publicity. But at that the methods used have
been more or less stereotyped with little originality,
and (with a few exceptions) even less attractiveness.
The newspapers, movies and placards in street cars
have brought results, but where keen competition ob-
tains have they benefited the individual advertisers
to the fullest extent?

It is the opinion of the writer that an altruistic at-
titude benefiting all concerned in advertising is essen-
tial for the business as a whole. Yet where no co-
operative advertising is done the individual should
receive greater benefit than the rest, for his expendi-
tures must be compensated. This can be brought
about by individuality in advertising, in the same
way that individuality and personality in designing
help largely to distinguish the work and increase
business.
Having had to struggle against old established

trade and stiff competition in a town apparently
overstocked with florists, we have succeeded in a
short period in reaching the top of the heap. This
has come partly through newer methods, partly
through better artistic output, and last, but not least,
through thorough and constant advertising.

It may be of interest to dwell in detail upon some
of the means employed in the campaign. Of course
the newspapers, the movies, folders, etc., were re-
sorted to ; but these were supplemented by some orig-
inal and some copied methods.

Capitalizing Curiosity

Starting with the idea that the arousing of curios-
ity is a wonderful drawing card, two sets of placards
were printed. The first read. "Get Next" with a
large blank space below, and was distributed in vari-
ous store windows and other advantageous locations.
After sufficient curiosity had been aroused a "follow
up" card was inserted to read, "Get Next Saturday's
Flowers from the BluMaize Blossom Shop." The
comments and influx of business fully justified the
effort. It was a novelty and "took."

Every florist knows that the window display is the
cheapest and most effective of all advertising media,
when properly arranged, but how many small town
florists ever use it judicially? Coordination between
advertising matter and material used in the windows
is essential. Another way of utilizing this very valu-
able space is for the emphasizing of certain events

of local or national character, whether they pertain
to flower use or not. As examples are political cam-
paigns, local celebrations, and any other displays of
high order that may draw attention of the passing
public. In our experience even athletic events with
the staging of miniature football games, track meets,
etc., have proved their value.

Cooperative window displays have been staged with
music houses in various cities with success, but we
went a step farther and used exclusive women's ap-
parel stores for wedding window decorating and ad-
vertising, and furniture houses for displays of table
decorations. In each case an appropriate card indi-
cated the decorators and in this way brought our
name before such of the public as would not be likely
to deal with us because of remoteness from their
neighborhood. It was a distinct advantage to both
parties, the merchant securing appropriate decora-
tions gratis, while we received proper and satisfying
publicity. This method was especially pleasing to us
in that it gave us opportunity to bring actual design-
ing before the public eye. It gave us a chance to
concretely demonstrate our ability instead of niereby
by such word as "quality," "artistic work," etc., in
our ads.

fortunate in being able to eater to nu-
merous formal functions. By keeping in
touch with caterers, photographers, or-
chestra leaders and others we receive ad-
vance notice of these parties and imme-
diately take steps to secure the work. As
an example, during a certain period of
initiations of new members to sororities,
we conceived the idea of staging a large
table in our store set for a number of
people and decorated appropriately with
flowers — the entire scheme representing
a formal dinner setting. The presidents
of the sororities were then invited to

inspect the arrangement (changed twice
a day). The invitation in itself was
rather novel. 'It was written out in
longhand upon good stationery, and each
invitation was tied to Russell Roses,
placed singly in a box and delivered to
the proper party. Our purpose here was
twofold. We were assured of the reading
of the missive and the donation of the
Roses served as a sure drawing card.
One hundred per cent booking of orders
indicated to us that we hit the bull's-eye.
Many other catchy schemes were tried
out with variable success of which sev-
eral are worth mentioning. Arrange-
ments were made with a high-class ice
cream parlor to serve a Blu- Maize sun-
dae— a concoction of their own design,
but with the added attraction of a Rose
given with each order. The Roses were
bought from us at wholesale and were
given at only sufficient additional cost
to cover their purchase price. It proved
a wonderful drawing card for the con-
cern, cost them nothing and gave us pub-
licity gratis. A variation of this may
be tried anywhere.

Attracting Orders by Telegraph

Another scheme which worked suc-
cessfully was the sending of Western
Union wires to prominent flower buyers
at Christmas time, advising them of our
stock and requesting their inspection.
Though costly, this method was quite
satisfying as it insured the reading of
the message, whereas a folder might have
been thrown away, unread. It was jus-
tified financially, though some hard feel-
ings were caused when some people went
to the extent of tipping the messenger
boy, only to find the telegram an adver-
tisement.

The use of W. U. operators with di-
rect connections for the big days has
been tried with marked success by a
number of florists as well as ourselves
and hardly need comment, except that it
is a mighty strong drawing card for the
F. T. D. business.

In conclusion it might be worth while
to repeat that publicity is a wonderful
business stimulant, but it must be backed
by material of highest quality, ability in
designing greater than the other fellow's
and service at all times. The excuse
that proper advertising can be accom-
plished only with aid of trained men and
only by big businesses does not hold wa-
ter. A little insight into human psychol-
ogy, with a sprinkling of common sense
and thought, directed along proper chan-
nels will accomplish wonders.

A Striking Outdoor Wedding
Decoration

A most attractive outdoor wedding
decoration was produced recently by Gude
Bros. Co. of Washington, D. C, at Laurel,
Md., on the occasion of the marriage of
Miss Margaret Fitzgibbons and Ensign
Robert H. Cary, U. S. N. The estate
where the ceremony was performed is
very attractive, laid out in such a manner
as to make an ideal place for a wedding.

The prie dieu, was placed beneath an
arch formed of pink Rambler Roses,
which was the termination of a large
canopy formed of Rambler Roses, with a
top of Cibotium ferns, the base being
of Boston ferns. There were 12 of each
of these, and the Cibotiums, with their
huge spread, reached up into the trees
at the back of the canopy. This canopy
was thus made up of 12 screens, each 3ft.
wide, the screens ranging from 6ft. to 8ft.
in height. The Boston ferns used at the
base had a spread of about 36in. each.
To make this decoration required more
than 2500 sprays of Rambler Roses, and
in addition the arch was decorated on
each side by large bouquets of Gladioli.

The prie dieu, was decorated with
bunches of pink Roses on either side. Lead-
ing to it from the house was an aisle of
green burlap, 150ft. in length. Each of
the ten aisle posts was decorated with a
bunch of Gladioli.

The house also was prettily decorated,
and in the room where the wedding
luncheon was served the mantel was
banked with Boston ferns, white Hy-
drangeas being used about the apartment.
The table was spread for 20 persons, and
on it were three large vases of Mock
Roses, while the table cloth wras covered
with Dorothy Perkins and Lady Gay
Ramblers. With the Mock Roses was
massed a quantity of blue Delphinium.

The general wedding party was taken
care of on the grounds. Here 22 small
tables were placed, and on each of them
a silver vase containing four large Mock
Roses.

The bride's shower bouquet was of Lily
of the Valley and orchids. There were
four bridesmaids' bouquets, each of pink
Roses and light blue Delphinium. The
matron of honor carried a bouquet made
of Butterfly Roses and light blue Del-
phinium. C. L. L.

Press Appreciates Trade Progress

The following friendly editorial com-
ment on Mas Schling's School of Floris-
try from the Brooklyn Eagle of June 27,
is felicitous and gratifying. It is no criti-
cism of its spirit to remark that while
"Floristry" may not be found in the Cen-
tury Dictionary, it is not too new a word
to appear in our office copy of Webster's,
where it is defined as the "application of
the florist's art or skill." Perhaps, then,
the fact is that not the word or the
idea, but their practical development and
popularization are what render Mr.
Schling's efforts so valuable to the trade
generally.

"Floristry"

No, you won't find "Floristry" in the Cen-
tury Dictionary. It isn't there. It is a new
word, just as the School of Floristry is a new
thing. The art of selecting and combining
flowers for perfect esthetic effect is the oldest
perhaps on earth. We can imagine that Eve
made a bouquet out of some of the Eden
blooms before she sewed any figleaves. But
today's demands are different.

The florists report that the modern beau
insists on variety as well as color harmony in
what he sends to his inamorata. "He no longer
chooses orchids," says the floristry expert.
"He wants something original. We still have
many standing orders for a bouquet a day to
a certain young woman. Well, every day it
must be something different. Twenty years
ago Roses and Carnations were considered the
only flowers proper for wedding decorations.
Today you see great use of hardy perennials
and flowers that can be got for much less.
Funeral flowers are no longer chosen for their
gloomy effect but with the idea of cheering
the bereaved with their brightness.

The school has students from Kansas, In-
diana, Texas, California and South Africa,
169 in all. It meets over in Manhattan and
will make the best use of the parks and the
botanical gardens of the city. Of course it
is inseparably associated with the trade. If
it can improve the mortuary pieces that have
made mourners suffer and friends of the de-
ceased grieve more deeply, it is welcome. And
the suggestion that American young men are
picking courtship flowers for beauty rather than
for expensiveness is distinctly optimistic.

Muncie, Ind. — Judgment in the amount
of $15,000 and the appointment of a re-
ceiver is asked by the Menges Greenhouse
Co. against the American Mutual Cyclone
and Hail Insurance Co. The plaintiff al-
leges they carried insurance on green-
houses in Wichita, Kan., and that in 1918
they suffered heavy losses on the build-
ings. _ The sum of §2500 was paid, but the
remainder is still unpaid.

Trade Notes

The wholesale market still holds
fairly steady, with prices satisfactory.
Sweet Peas are plentiful and ordinary
grades cheap. Extra choice as produced
by one or two growers are commanding
$2 per doz. bunches. Carnations and in-
side Roses are still in demand, with good
Carnations scarce. Choice blooms fetch
$4 per 100. Ferns and greenery still in
live demand for central West shipment.

The new refrigerator room of the B.
Hammond Co., local wholesalers, was
completed last week, and is an acceptable
facility to their business during the pre-
vailing spell of hot weather; this is our
sixth week without rain.

The retail trade has been quiet during
the past week, but is receiving a wel-
come filip this week, due to July Fourth
decorations, and the visit of the Pacific
Fleet with an attending round of enter-
tainments to the officers and men.

Hollywood Gardens had all the decora-
tions for a large society wedding, on Sat-
urday last, both at the church and at the
home of the bride's parents. The pre-
vailing color scheme, both at the church
and reception, was in pink, blue and
white. Roses, Delphinium, Gladioli and
white Iris were the flowers employed.
The screen of the church was beautifully
treated by the use of pot grown Ameri-
can Pillar and American Beauty Roses.
The "punch bowl" was another unique
portion of the decorations standing as it
did in a shallow tank of water wreathed
in Smilax and surrounded by floating wra-
ter Lilies. Will Holmes was the artist
in charge.

Sam Dunlap reports last Saturday's
trade so heavy that extra help was called
in. Vacation season has commenced. Miss
Wagner is away on vacation this week.

Miss Wharton and Miss Rodd of the
Hollywood Garden staff are visiting in
Vancouver, B. C.

Woodland Flower Shop finds business
fair; the usual Summer falling off. Fred
Gust and Dave Jones commenced their va-
cation last week.

Felix Rosaia says business is keeping
up well. By the way Felix has treated
himself to a new seven-passenger
Chandler; says a florist has to be re-
spectable these days.

John Byers, our local Water Lily spe-
cialist of Haller Lake, is bringing in some
excellent blooms. Varieties noted, and
which John says are excellent for cutting
were: Odorata W. B. Shaw, large, very
fragrant, of a rich rose pink color; Wil-
liam Doogue, shell pink and very fra-
grant; James Brydon, a superb flower,
rosy crimson in shade and 4in. in diame-
ter; Marliaeea rosea, large flowers of a,
deep rose color; Odorata gigantea, a very
fine white, and Attraction, a wonderful
flower, of French introduction with im-
mense blooms Gin. across, of a beautiful
garnet red with yellow stamens. Mr.
Byers has developed this trade on a shal-
low inlet of the lake and is having grati-
fying success in the production of Water
Lilies and other aquatic plants.

Rosaia Bros., by P. F. Rosaia, reports
business very satisfactory; enough to keep
everybody busy. At time of my visit all
were busy constructing a flower model of
one of Uncle Sam's battleships, to be ex-
hibited in Bush and Lane's store window
during Pacific Fleet Week. Pat Sullivan
was skilfully constructing smoke from the
funnels by the use of invisibly, suspended
sprays of Gypsophila and Statice. Quite
realistic, too. P. F. says Pat sat up all
night figuring out that Smoke stunt.

of our Growers Association, has let the

We congratulate the Seattle Rose So-
ciety on the success of its exhibits at the
Portland Rose Show. To say that they
created consternation among Portland
rosarians is putting things mildly. The
box of 24 varieties as staged would have
been practically unbeatable anywhere,
while, the wonderful vase of 50 blooms of
K. of K. staged by Mrs. Phinney's garden
were exquisite. 'Nuff said!

Roland G.. Gamwell of Bellingham, was
in Seattle last week, and acted as judge
at the Rose Show. He is an old reader
and great booster for The Florists Ex-
change. It might interest its publishers
to know that he looks upon the various
articles appearing in Nursery Notes as
authoritative, and has the articles written
by the. late Joseph Meehan, filed in a
scrap book, which covers some years, and
which he uses even today as a work of
reference. He also says that the Belling-
ham Chamber of Commerce, of which he
is a member, greatly appreciated the ar-
ticle on "Bulb Growing" in the North-
west and the Bellingham Tulip Festival,
and your criticism thereof. G. C.

July 8. — The Gladiolus is about the best
seller in this district as far as flowers
are concerned; all florists voice this opin-
ion. Gladioli are selling around $3.50 a
doz. and Delphinium, also a popular flower
at this season, is retailing around $1.50
a doz.

Wedding business has been fairly strong,
and has helped hold up the sales of flow-
ers. The social season has not been ex-
ceptionally vigorous and therefore has
not affected sales favorably to a great ex-
tent. ' Plentitude of outdoor flowers at
this time, especially those grown in yards,
has had its effect on business, which,
however, is as good as usual at this time
of the year, according to general reports.

Funeral business has held up well. Ac-
cording to one dealer, his principal sales
recently have been done along this line.

Business in supplies and cut flower stock
is fine, according to Glenn Parker of the
Stuppy Supply Co. Plenty of bloom is
on the market, says Mr. Parker, and the

Arthur Newell, florist of this city, has
done a fine business recently with a line
of Harding blue pottery ranging in price
from $1 to $7.50. The Newell Company
is the only one which handles this line.

The stock is well assorted with small
and large vases, in graceful design. Com-
bination bud vases and candlesticks at
§7.50 the pair are one of the best sellers.
A blue bowl is also a popular item. A
set made up of the candlesticks and bowl
are priced at $10, and have proved a suc-
cessful number. Newell's had 1,200 pieces
of this ware in stock, and have only about
150 pieces remaining. The bowls and
vases are attractively arranged on a
separate counter where they catch the eye
of the flower lover who chances to come
into the store.

Woman Florist Scores Again

In Kansas City, Kansas, Mrs. T.
A. Moseley has been elected vice-president
of the Women's Commercial Club of that
city, as a tribute to her valuable serv-
ice in the organization during the past
year, as well as to her standing as a busi-
ness woman. This club has done big
things for Kansas City, Kans., and the
women constituting it have a really large
part in the development of the city. Their
most recent exploit has been the planning
and promotion of a mid-week bargain day,
in which every merchant is supposed to
participate, for the purpose of drawing
the people of the city to their home town
stores and cementing their patronage. The
women worked up this enterprise very
cleverly, and the story is given here to
indicate what women florists may do in
their own communities. The club had
announced that it would try to figure
out some program whereby local patron-
age could be increased — as against the
tendency of women especially to shop in
the larger city across the Kaw. After in-
spiring much local curiosity and interest,
the women announced that they had con-
cocted their plan and they invited all the
local merchants to attend a dinner, when
the idea was to be sprung. The big idea
was cooperation in a regular weekly bar-
gain day. Many merchants signed up a

pledge to participate. The first of these
bargain days was Wednesday, July 5,
More than 100 merchants used large space
in newspapers to exploit special bargains
and put in windows cards supplied by the
club, calling attention to the fact that
this was Wednesday bargain day. Re-
sponse was gratifyingly large. Mrs. Mose-
ley is herself an aggressive advertiser, and
her splendid business ideas not only
through her example helped others, but
also guided many toward plans that helped
toward their success. The women of the
club give much personal attention to the
assistance of merchants, urging them to
displays of merchandise, and to advertis-
ing, as well as to preparation and offer-
ing of attractive variety in their stores.
Mrs. Moseley is one of the active mem-
bers of the Kansas City Florists Club, and

O. H. Convention in August. B. S. B.

Montreal, Que.

Upon making inquiries at the various
Floral Emporiums in our Canadian Metrop-
olis, I had a feeling of satisfaction all
around. Cupid is taking a vacation after
his strenuous time during the wedding
month of June. Not so with the grim
reaper; he still takes his toll. Funeral
work has been heavy, large quantities
of flowers being used for this class of
work. Large quantities of flowers have
also been used to grace the cabins, etc.,
of the boats, most of the florists having
commissions to supply the outgoing liners
with flowers.

Some of the florists are taking their
vacations. Frank McKenna of McKenna,
Ltd., is one who is away below Quebec, en-
joying the cool breezes. Others again are
contemplating being away in the near
future. A favorite trip is by steamer
up North called the Saguenay trip.

The writer having just returned,
thought a few notes on this wonderful trip
would interest brother florists. I think
for a restful vacation, this is hard to beat.
The steamer takes the North Shore out-
ward, returning by the South Shore of
the great St. Lawrence. The scenery is
one great panorama, flanked by a range
of mountains ever changing. Calls are
made at Murray Bay, Tadousae and other
noted Summer resorts. Seeing Capes
Eternity and Trinity is a revelation; from
the deck of the steamer, one is almost
overwhelmed with the majestic dignity of
the scene. The big steamer seems dwarfed
by the immensity of the mountains and
the dark splendor of the river flowing
silently through its channel. The Capes
are giant obelisks towering to a height of
nearly 2000 feet above the water. Cape
Eternity is one solid mass of rock. Cape
Trinity has three distinct elevations, the
lowest capped by a gigantic statue of the
Virgin Mary, which seems to gaze with
solemn mien over the majestic scene be-
fore it. The echpes from the hills afcid moun-
tains are wonderful, a blast from the
steamer's siren re-echoes like distant thun-
der.

On Sunday last, July 9, a large assembly
of people visited St. Lambert, Montreal's
favorite neighbor, the occasion being the
unveiling of a memorial to its fallen
heroes. The memorial is a statue of a
soldier going over the top. General Sir

Arthur Currie, who had charge of the
Canadians during the Great War, per-
formed the ceremony. Before doing so,
the general in a forceful speech, did
homage to the fallen and spoke higkly
of the men who fought for liberty. After
the unveiling, General Currie presented
the memorial to the city on behalf of
the subscribers, Mayor Gorden accepting
same for the city. A large number of
floral tributes, wreaths, sprays, etc., was
placed at the base of the memorial by
relatives and friends of the fallen heroes.
Even here, after such a solemn service,
the light fingered gentry were in evidence
and by their nefarious ways, relieved the
unwary of their pelf. Even the writer
did not escape, but lost his wallet and
must now bewail his loss.

Mount Royal.

Toronto, Ont.

Following a very busy June, July ap-
pears rather quiet, although there is a
steady demand for funeral work. There
are many weddings also.

Mrs. G. W. Warren is holidaying at
Orchard Beach, Lake Simcoe. The War-
ren store is being re-decorated.

H. G. Dillemuth has had the front of
his store repainted.

Wm. Jay is filling up his benches for
the Fall trade. He has planted many As-
paragus plumosus plants from Hender-
son's, New York. The 'Mums are com-
ing on well.

H. S. Golay has been appointed man-
ager of the retail store of the Wm. Rennie
Co., Ltd., corner King and Jarvis sts., in
succession to the late Alex. Dingwall.

Good progress is being made with the
greenhouses of Miller, Florists, Ltd., at
Concord. Fred Miller is overseeing the
work and is always on the job. The 150ft.
stack is being built and the concrete
foundations for the boilers are in. Five
growers are at work and have five houses
planted with Premier and Columbia. The
other five houses are rapidly nearing
completion and in these Pilgrim, Crusader
and Commonwealth, the new dark pink,
will be included.

The Gardeners and Florists Association
will hold their annual picnic on Aug. 15
at the beautiful estate of Lady Eaton at
Eversley, arrangements having been made
by P. L. Whytock, superintendent. Special
electric cars will leave Farnham ave.,
North Yonge st., at 10 o'clock.

Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Neal will spend a
holiday at Stoney Lake and will take in
the Montreal convention Aug. 8 to 11, in-
clusive. Mr. Neal was exceedingly busy
during June with weddings and decora-
tions, in addition to the regular run of
trade. There were more flowers than
ever used at the graduations this year.
He has had many out of town weddings
this year.

Mr. and Mrs. J. Carter are at their
Summer home, Ward's Island. Mrs. Bar-
ber is also at Ward's Island for the Sum-
mer.

Geo. Hatcher, S. A. McFadden and
W. Skilliter are among those who will at-
tend the C. F. G. A. Convention at Mon-
treal.

H. Waters is selling a lot of garden
stock at his market store. This is both
cut and in pots for planting.

T. Manton has found trade good. This
is especially true on Saturdays.

Several Dutch travelers have been call-
ing upon the growers recently.

Fred Good has sold the Simmers gar-
dens to the Toronto Transportation Com-
mission and will seek other growing
grounds.

The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair
will be held at the arena of the Canadian
National Exposition Nov. 22 to 29.

Florists' Picnic

The annual picnic of the Toronto
Retail Florists Club held at Exhibition
Park on Wednesday, July 5, was a great
success, surpassing last year's picnic in
point of numbers. There was an attend-
ance of close on 300 at the races which
were all keenly contested. At the main
table there were 175 seated with another
hundred scattered around in parties on
the grass! Others attended the. races, but
did not remain for supper. The races in-
cluded several novelties which appealed
to the ladies. Among these were kite
flying, balloon rolling and balloon "bust-
ing." There were sack races, soap race,
partnership race, etc.

S. A. Frost, in policeman's uniform,
directed the sports and was assisted by
John Cripps, W. Bowers and Wm. Read
as judges.

In the growers' race, J. Page, H. Dean
and W. Cowtan were the winners. The
sprinters in the 100 yard dash were W.
McCrea, J. Page and H. Dean. In the
retail race, Geo. Gard nosed out H. Dille-
muth.

There were many races for the children
and valuable prizes for the winners do-
nated by the various florists.

In the baseball match the growers won
from the retailers by a score of 21 to 15.

All the stores were closed for the after-
noon. G. C. K.

Color Combinations in Bouquets

Some florists are inclined to think that
color combinations cannot clash when
flowers are used, but many think other-
wise. Certainly some ladies are particu-
larly touchy in regard to color combina-
tions, and indiscriminate mixtures either
in made up work or in the garden are
sufficient to set their teeth on edge. We
know one lady who has routed out from
her garden all the red and pink shaded
perennial Phlox other than Baron von
Dedem, because they possess a lilac or
blue tint which distracts her.

Regarding bouquets we were rather im-
pressed when reading the report of the
great York Gala, England, to note that
R. F. Felton, the well known London
florist, scored first in all the 11 classes
open to decorative florists, and did it
because of his originality. Mr. Felton
is said to be a genius of color, and one
of the bridesmaid's bouquets he showed
consisted of Odontoglossums, Odontiodas
and Anthuriums, classed as a masterpiece.

The most outstanding bouquet, how-

and the South.

ever, was the "ball" bouquet, made with
small yellow Callas and the crimson
spathes of Anthuriums, Andreanum and
Scherzerianum, with a trio of Lselio-
Cattleya Balls, introduced with true
Feltonian touch. It is not difficult to
imagine the effect of such a combination.

Home Made Refrigerator

Florists who have but limited space
for the storage of stock or who are so
situated that they cannot get adequate
supplies of ice, may overcome their diffi-
culties by availing themselves of an ice-
less icebox, which has been developed by
the Department of Agriculture and which
has been given a practical tryout with
very good success by a woman florist in
Wheatland, Wyoming. The florist, who
had a very limited space for storing her
stock, consulted an agent of the depart-
ment and, as a result of the interview,
turned an old book easel into a very suc-
cessful refrigerator.

The top and bottom dripping pans
were made of boards from a packing box
covered with black rubber sheeting. The
sides and back of the bookcase were per-
forated with openings made with an augur.
A canvas cover was made large enough
for the back and sides. The bottom shelf
was arranged so that the water from the
dripping pan could be easily removed.
The glass doors of the bookcase were
left so the flowers could be seen in the
showroom. A good circulation of air
maintained a uniformly low tempera-
ture. C. L. L.

New York City

The Market

July 11. — On Saturday of last week
the demand for flowers in the wholesale
cut flower market was fairly good for
early July. On Monday of this week it
became somewhat weaker and today,
Tuesday, the 11th, there is very little
buying and the prospects for anything
like an active demand during the re-
mainder of the week are not promising.

American Beauty Roses are in about
normal supply for this month and are
meeting with a small demand, though the
quality of the top grade blooms is ex-
cellent. Special grade blooms are sell-
ing at 15c. to 50c. each, and those of
other grades at proportionate prices. Other
Hoses are in moderate supply, arrivals of
the No. 2 grade being increased consider-
ably by cut blooms from young plants.
Top grade blooms are bringing 5c. to 10c.
each in general, but some fine Premiers
are realising 15c, and Keys 35c. each.
No. 2 grade blooms are fetching $1 to $2
per 100.

Carnations are no longer in large sup-
ply. Select grade blooms are bringing
$2 to §3, and occasionally $4 a 100, and
those of ordinary grade, $1 to $2

The supply of Cattleyas is larger, and
the demand for them smaller. Prices, con-
sequently, have declined rather sharply.
The general range of price today is 15c.
to $1 each.

Gardenias are moving out slowly at
50c. to $4 per doz., as is also Valley, which
is in large supply, at $1 to §3 per 100, or
in occasional sales, $4 to $5. The medium
supply of White Lilies is selling at §12
to §15 per 100, and the small arrivals of
Rubrum Lilies are bringing about the
same price.

In bulbous and miscellaneous flowers,
Gladioli are now the leaders. The quality
of the blooms is excellent, the arrivals
are large, and the demand, though looking
as if it would soon fail to be large onough
to absorb the supply, is at present larger

than for any other bulbous or miscellane-
ous flower coming into the market. The
most attractive of the miscellaneous out-
door grown flowers now seen in the mar-
ket is Gypsophila paniculata, especially
the double variety. As a bouquet green
this is unexcelled. There are quite large
arrivals, too, of good quality annual
Gypsophila.

Besides these we note white Bouvardia,
herbaceous Spiraa, Mignonette, white
Daisies, Snapdragon, Larkspur and Gail-
lardia in moderate quantities; also very
few Sweet Peas.

Of the indoor grown greens, Smilax is
moving very slowly at $1 to $1.50 per
doz. The demand for the other greens,
both indoor grown and hardy, is far from
active

Secretary John Young reports that the
preliminary plant schedule for the New
York 1923 Flower Show is now on the
press and will soon be mailed out.

S. A. F. President S. S. Pennock of
Philadelphia was in town recently and
while here was busy with Secretary Young
over the preparation of the program for
the coming S. A. F. Convention.

Early Closings

During the months of July and
August, the wholesale cut flower stores in
the ISth st. Flower Market are closing
at 4 o'clock.

The offices of the New York Cut Flower
Co., in the Coogan Bldg., corner of 28th
st. .and 6th ave., close at 1 o'clock, and
the several wholesale cut flower depart-
ments of this company as soon as con-
venient after that hour, most of them on
or before 3 o'clock.

The other wholesale cut flower stores in
this building, and at 6th ave. and 2Sth
st. close at either 3 or 4 o'clock each
day.

Calling recently at the store of Wm.
Kather, 754 Madison ave., we found Mr.
Kather in his usual affable and optimis-
tic frame of mind. He says that June
business was unusually good, and that
F. T. D. orders are steadily increasing.
Wedding and school graduation orders
especially helped to keep him very busy
throughout June, and as for steamer or-

ders, they were never more numerous or
larger than this year. We noted at Mr.
Kather's shop a handsome line of lustre
ware flower receptacles in several shapes.
Mr. Kather is paying increased attention
to this branch of his business, and could
easily make use of a larger store for the
development, both of this and his increas-
ing retail cut flower trade.

Henry Rudolph of Essex Fells, N. J.,
well known to all the retail florists of
this city' for many years as an expert
grower of ornamental pot plants and as a
past master in forcing flowering shrubs
into bloom, accompanied by his daughter,
sailed on Saturday, July 8, on the S. S.
New Amsterdam for Holland. They will
spend a week or two in Holland, and
thence will go to Germany, where they
will remain about two months. The best
wishes of Mr. Rudolph's friends certainly
go with him, and they trust that he will
obtain a well deserved rest and much
pleasure from his trip abroad.

H. E. Froment, of 43 West 18th St., is
known in that market, just as he was
when, for many years, he occupied a store
in 28th st, as a specialist in cut blooms
of Roses. Arrivals of this queen of flow-
ers at his stores throughout the year are
probably larger than at any other whole-
sale cut flower store in the city. Even
now, in July, his list of Roses includes
Ophelia, Butterfly, Columbia, Ward, Pre-
mier, White Killarney and Hadley, a
formidable list for this season. Miss
Mabel Conkling, bookkeeper for Mr. Fro-
ment, left July 1 for her bungalow on
Sackett Lake, Sullivan Co., N. Y., where
as in the past, she will spend the Summer
months.

When in the 18th st. Cut Flower Mar-
ket this week, we met James Coyle, an
old-timer in the wholesale cut flower busi-
ness. Mr. Coyle severed his connections
with this line of business several years
ago, and now has furnished rooms to let
at 400 West 34th st. He appeared to be
in better health than at any time when
we have met him in the past several
years.

Samuel C. Gilbert, 43 West ISth St.,
and Victor Warendorf, started out July
4 on an auto trip to Boston. During the
five days of their trip they visited not
only Boston, but also Lynn, Mass., (where
they inspected the Dolansky greenhouses)
and several other points in New England.
While calling on Mr. Gilbert this week,
we noted blooms of several promising new
varieties of Gladiolus, one named Maine
White, and another of a rich red color,
the name of which we were not able to
ascertain.

We noted recently at Charles Futter-
man's, 110 West 28th st., some of the fin-
est blooms of Gypsophila paniculata fl.
pi. we have ever seen offered for sale.
We understand that Mr. Futterman is
receiving a steady supply of this flower-.
Arthur Bobbins of Boston was in the
city on Tuesday of this week on his way
to Atlantic City to attend the Elks Con-
vention.

The New York City correspondent of a
Western florist trade paper says: "In one
of its editions last week the Brooklyn
Eagle had a leading article on the quoted
word, 'floristry,' which that journal pro-
claims to be a new word aptly coined." If
his statement is correct, then the mem-
ber of the Eagle editorial staff that
wrote the leading article cannot be much
of a word-monger. If he were, he would
be able to find the word "floristry" in
a much used and authoritative book called
"Webster's New International; Diction-
ary."

Analyzing the Floristry School Data

Revised figures on the attendance at
Max Schling's School of Floristry show
an increase of 25, or a total of 169 stud-
ents. These 25 were from New York City
and its vicinity, and the others were dis-
tributed by States, as follows: Pennsyl-
vania, 34 from 23 towns; New York, 17
from 15 towns (outside New York City) ;
New Jersey, 19 from 13 towns; Ohio, 10
from 7 towns; Massachusetts, 12 from 6
towns; Connecticut, 5 from 4 towns; Illi-
nois, North Carolina and Maine, 3 from
3 towns each; Florida, 5 from 3 towns;
Michigan and Vermont, 4 from 2 towns
each; Rhode Island and Virginia, 3 from
two towns each; Georgia, 2 from 2 towns;
Alabama, Tennessee, iSouth Carolina,
North Dakota, Texas and Ontario, 2
from a single town in each; Missouri, Dis-
trict of Columbia, Iowa, Maryland and
Nebraska, 1 from 1 town in each.

Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Peterson of Cincin-
nati, accompanied by their eldest dauhter,
Miss Ida E., sailed for Copenhagen, Den-
mark, on the ■ S. S. United States, July
13. While abroad the Petersons will also
visit Norway and Sweden. The return
date is undecided as yet, but probably
will be some time in September.

An Historic Florist Business Passes

Before the ouward march of a progres-
sive building boom in Flatbush, Brook-
lyn, N. Y., the florist and nursery plant
of Charles Zeller & Son, occupying the
major portion of the block bounded by
Washington ave. and Sterling St., will
be razed along with the two historic
buildings which stand on the plot, to make
way for a development in the construc-
tion of about 70 one and two family
dwellings. The passing of the Zeller flo-
rist nursery is more than the mere pass-
ing out of existence of a business; it is
the wiping out of an institution that
has been a landmark for two score years
or more. Opposite the nursery years ago,
the gypsy encampment was a sight to
send thrills of excitement up and down
the spines of the children passing there.
Later this land was developed with fine
residences. An old frame building dwelt
in for many years by the late Charles
Zeller, who founded the business years
ago, will also bef removed, as will the
seven big greenhouses operated by him.

The Market

July 10. — The market is now set-
tled down to the period of mid-Summer
inactivity, the vacations of part of the
working forces at all the leading houses
has reduced to a notable point the work-
ers on the wholesale market. There is,
however, enough to take good care of all
the business that comes in. There is also
plenty of cut flowers for all demands. For
a mid-Summer market, the supply is not
heavy; the early Summer flowers have
passed. The Rose and Carnation crops
from the greenhouses are at their lowest
point of production for the season. The
Peonies are nearly gone and the Gladioli,
the mainstay of the mid-Summer market,
are as yet not any too plentiful. The
supply of these will, however, be greatly
increased during the next few weeks when
for the time being they will predominate
all other stock. The acreage of these
planted this season is considerably more
than in former years. As a mid-Summer
flower, it is becoming more in favor each
season; its splendid keeping qualities and
the wonderful range of color offered in
many of the recent varieties are responsible
for this. The stock coming in at pres-
ent does not represent the finest quality;
this will come later in the season. The
price is variable according to quality.

While Roses are on the short side there
is enough for all demand and prices are
low; short stock is sold as low as $2 per
100, while the very best does not exceed
$12 to $15 per 100.

There are a few Carnations still hang-
ing on; these can be bought cheaply, but
probably for all they are worth, as the
quality has deteriorated to a marked de-
gree.

Two or three of the wholesale houses
still have Peonies in storage and are
taking more or less out every day. They
are keeping fairly well and need but lit-
tle picking over before being marketed.
Some of them are selling as high as $8
per 100. The first Asters of the season
are in but so far not of more than ordi-
nary quality. They are selling at $2 to
$4 per 100. A few Zinnias are com-
ing in with other garden flowers. Gypso-
phila is quite plentiful; there are also a
good many Cornflowers, Candytuft and
Shasta Daisies.

There is enough of Lilies in both the
giganteums and rubrums. Valley and
orchids are in proportion to the demand.
The new fern crop is in. That greatly
relieved the situation in greens. These
are selling at $3 per 1000.

News Notes

Miss Gladine Rummell, stenograph-
er for the Ove Gnatt Co., left Monday
on a two weeks' vacation which she will
spend with a camping party in Wiscon-
sin.

Phil Schupp of the J. A. Budlong Co.,
and Max Cohn, a South side retailer,
were the only representatives of the flo-
rist industry in Chicago to attend the
B. P. O. E. Convention in Atlantic City
the present week.

The J. C. Moninger Co. are building a
new range of houses for the Berwin Flo-
ral Co., Berwin, 111.

Frank Jarrall of the Zeeh & Man Com-
pany is spending his vacation among the
fishing resorts of Wisconsin.

Edward F. Schultz, who has been with
the Weiland-Risch Co. for several years,
has severed his connection with that com-
pany and is preparing to open a retail
store for himself on North Ashland ave.
Robert Risch, son of John Risch, will
succeed Schultz at the Weiland-Risch
store.

Chas. London, who has been manager
of the M. Weiland store in Evanston for
the past nine years, has resigned his posi-
tion there, and will go into business for
himself, having secured a suitable loca-
tion on Sherman ave., Evanston, in the
heart of the residential district of this
beautiful North Shore suburb.

A slick looking stranger called on Dan
Simonds at his store on Ogden ave. one
day the past week to order a funeral
piece. He was partial to a spray, but
Dan told him a wreath on an easel would
make a better show for the money. The
price of $12 was agreed on, the stranger
saying he would go home and consult his
wife as to which she preferred. He gave
in payment a check for $15 signed by
"Chas. A. Newman" on the Ogden Ave.
Bank and he received $3 in change. He
did not telephone up to noon the follow-
ing day when Dan, suspecting there was
something wrong, took the cheque to the
bank only to find it was worthless, the
party having no account there. As the
flowers had not been delivered Dan is
out only $3 and glad it was no more. The
man who will stoop to a little trick like
this to get $3 is, in his estimation, noth-
ing but a petty sneak thief.

A party of friends assembled at the
Union Station last. Thursday evening to
see Sam Pearce off for New York from
which point he sailed Saturday for Eng-
land. Sam was in excellent spirits, as also
were his two sons. It was the first time
in 50 years that he has felt entirely free
from business cares. Before he left he
was the recipient of many tokens of friend-
ship from friends here.

The Pageant of Progress Exposition that
was such a success last year will open
again on the Municipal Pier on July 29
and continue for three weeks. The work
of placing the booths and decorating the
exhibition spaces has been going on for
some time. The Ove Gnatt Co. is supply-
ing the management with a large amount
of prepared Oak leaves, Laurel and Lyco-
podium wreathing as well prepared palms
and other odds and ends in their many-
lines of decorative material. T. E.
Waters, the local manager for the com-
pany, is getting business daily from the
exposition management committee.

Jos. Kohout, Libertyville, reports the
completion of one of the large green-
houses being built for him by the Lord
& Burnham Co. Work on another of the
same dimensions is well under way. As
still further extensions of the glass area
are under consideration a power house
to take care of 250,000 sq. ft. of glass is
also under construction. Steps are being
taken for the incorporation of the estab-
lishment with an estimated capital stock
of $100,000.

There were 32 automobile loads of flow-
ers at the funeral of Mrs. Small, wife of
Gov. Small of Illinois, at their home in
Kankakee, on June 29. There were in
all 1700 different pieces, the estimated
cost of same having been stated as about
$25,000. One of the largest and most
admired pieces was a map of the State
of Illinois arranged on a panel 3ft. x 5ft.
by A. Lange.

Assistant Pathologist Wanted

The U. S. Civil Service Commission,
Washington, D. C, anounces a competi-
tive examination for an assistant patholo-
gist. The position carries a salary of
$2160 a year, and a bonus of $20 a month
may be allowed.

Applications should at once be made
for Form 2118, to Washington or to one
of the various customs departments situ-
ate throughout the country. An exami-
nation for a junior laboratory aid in
forest pathology will also take place.

The Buttonhole Bouquet

'-p HERE was a time, and not so many
years ago, when many business and
professional men wore flowers on the
lapels of their coats. Time was when
many men here in Columbus and other
cities did not start down town for the
day until each had placed a new bloom
on his coat. There may be some who still
are true to that rather delightful cus-
tom, but they are seen but seldom in the
street. The custom seems to be for lovers
of flowers to use large bunches of them
and have them in vases on their desks or
work tables. And in visiting offices about
the city one sees the vase of fresh flowers
but seldom. Some way and for .some
reason men seem to be drifting away from
the friendly and close relation with flow-
ers that once was much in evidence.

The disposition to get along without
flowers appears to be more than nation-
wide. The Manchester Guardian of Eng-
land says the men over there are appar-
ently entirely lacking in their interest in
flowers. It is inclined to explain the
change, which it deplores, by saying that
for half a dozen years men have been
wearing khaki, have been under close
and hard inspection, had no room for
flowers, and the events that claimed their
attention were of such a nature as to
drive the thought of flowers from their
minds. Studying a Hyde Park crowd one
Sunday afternoon, the Guardi-am represen-
tative found but six buttonhole bouquets
in all the throng that was there. One was
worn by a distinguished Baronet whose
habit has been to wear a fresh Carna-
tion each time he went away from his
home. He was not in the war, his habits
of thought and custom were not changed
and he still clings to that rather pretty
custom. King George usually wears a
flower when not in uniform and the Prince
of Wales is a lover of the flower on his
coat. But the great throng of people, the
men of England, seem to have drifted
away from the custom. The worst fea-
ture to the Guardian is to see no indica-
tion of a revival of the custom, now that
the war is over. — Ohio State Journal.

We are not inclined to accept the Man-
chester Guardian's explanation. If men
in England are wearing fewer button-
holes it must not be accepted as due to
a lack of interest in flowers. All reports
show that the garden habit in England
is constantly increasing and, unlike here,
gardening in England is more the man's
job than it is the woman's. While the
fair ladies of England are flower devo-
tees and some of the wealthy have a
really expert knowledge of plants, the
rank and file, that is the great masses of
garden enthusiasts are men and it is us-
ually in gardens controlled by them that
one sees the real results. Gardening is a
serious hobby with them.

It may be that the Londoner is no longer
wearing his buttonhole; he may have got-
ten so used to the buttoned up khaki tunic
that he cannot bring himself to flaunt a
bit of color any more than he can settle
back to the hated, detestable stiff collar
after years of freedom. This writer often
marvels at the number of men in New
York who wear collars that palpably an-
noy them if nothing worse.

The buttonhole habit is one that is
more or less easily initiated, if the
boutonnieres are ready to hand and rea-
sonable in price. We don't know, but
perhaps the London street flower mer-
chants no longer offer their flowers for the
purpose, but we dare venture to hazard
that on week days vast' numbers of the
commuters arrive in town with button-
holes culled from their home gardens or
greenhouses.

We see many men landing at the fer-
ries with flowers in their coats and we
fancy many more would do so could they
but lay hands upon something suitable.
Many a man would buy a flower for his
coat if it were offered him at his home
town rail depot as he started for busi-
ness. It is largely a matter of accessi-
bility and if the glass tube boutonniere
holders were also made available, the
sales of these would doubtless be large.

The tube boutonniere holder, by the
way, is by no means new, as stated in a
recent issue. Nearly 30 years ago this
writer purchased them for 2c. and it was
and still is possible to obtain nickel or

silver screw top holders with a pin at-
tachment, both for men and women's use.
Perhaps some local florist will try his
hand at dispensing Roses, Carnations and
other flowers, not elaborate made pieces,
to men as they are leaving for business.
The less it looks like a florist's confection
the better the average man likes a but-
tonhole. W. '

[From the Austin, 111., Austinite.]
Some time between Sunday night and Mon-
day morning two ferns disappeared from the
table and fern stand in front of the Berkland
home at 901 North Lockwood. The larger fern
was over fifteen years old and its loss is keenly
felt. No one but a real thief would do such
an act, and for the thief's benefit the plates
will be left standing all Summer where the

The Market

July 11. — The vacation season is in
full swing, everyone who can is leaving
town, so that outside of funeral work
there is practically nothing doing in the
retail stores or wholesale markets. Ar-
rivals of flowers are far in excess of
actual needs while at the same time the
continual dull and rainy weather is re-
sponsible for the poor quality and poor
keeping quality of indoor and outdoor
goods. As far as prices for almost any
kind of flowers are concerned, it is prob-
ably safest to say that there are no fixed

prices. An immense amount of stock is
disposed of for whatever it may bring
from the street boys or is thrown away
altogether. This applies to Roses as well
as to Carnations. Delphiniums also are
much oversupplied and piles of these find
their way to the can. Hardy and annual
Gypsophila is plentiful and selling cheap-
er than heretofore. Quite a few white
Lilies and Callas have been offered lately
without finding any notable demand.
Lilium candidum, L. speciosum and aura-
tum and especially L. regale are also in
evidence. Of all these, L. regale does
best, finding more favor as time goes on.
Gladioli are appearing from field plant-
ings, bringing up to $1.50 per doz. and
selling fairly well. Bachelor Buttons,
Daisies and all the other miscellaneous
flowers go very slow. There are some
very good Gardenias to be had at 35c. and
a more than sufficient supply of Cattleya
Mossiae, Gaskelliana, Mendellii and gigas;
also some Odontoglossums, Miltonias, etc.
Lily of the Valley, too, is fine. Sweet
Peas from outdoors are fought shy of, on
account of not lasting from day to day.
Indoor Peas are done for for the present.
To sum up the situation, we may call the
market down and out.

The powers that be and which have
charge of selecting a site for the new mar-
ket have, up to date, not reached any
conclusion, but are getting nearer doing
so every day and will probably settle this
matter this coming week.

News Notes

Mrs. F. 0. Taylor White, the "Pan-
sy Girl" at Houghton Gorney, under the
Park Street Church, has forsaken, until
Fall, her usual employment for the charms
and adventures of country life at her es-
tate at Carver, on the Cape, where she
is putting in her time manicuring the toe
nails and tying up the tails of a large
brood of turkeys which are the joy of her
life. Once in a while she gets tired of
this occupation and takes a little spin
down to Washington, Va., or some other
interesting part of the country, in her
new Chevrolet sedan. Being an expert at
driving a flock of turkeys, she had an
idea that driving that sedan would be
just fun, but is not finding it so at all,
at all.

For the National Education Association
lectures in Horticultural Hall, Boston,
Albert C. Burrage, Beverly Farms, Mass.,
decorated the lecture platform with a
lavish display of orchids. Two large
columns ten feet high, each crowned with
an immense Cibotium Scheideii, were cov-
ered with clusters of the choicest varie-
ties of Cattleyas, Odontoglossums and On-
cidiums, interspersed with small plants
of varied ferns. In the foreground, be-

tween the two columns, stood a large bas-
ket also filled with an assortment of the
rarest orchids from Mr. Burrage's cele-
brated collection. Douglas Eccleston, the
former superintendent of Mr. Burrage's
Orchidvale estate, had charge of the work.
Egbert Hans, proprietor of the Woburn
Bulb Farms, Woburn, Mass., was first in
the Boston Flower Exchange Market with
a selection of fine Gladioli.

Wm. A. McAlpine of the Exeter Rose
Conservatories, Exeter, N. H., has re-
turned from a month's fishing trip, which
he spent at Moosehead Lake, Me.

Our friend, Charles Holbrow of Bright-
on and son, Herbert, met with a serious
accident on July 1 when a leaky gas pipe
in the bath room of the dwelling house
caused an explosion which burned the
young man severely on the face, neck and
arms, necessitating the doctor's care for
weeks. Charles Holbrow, coming to the
rescue of his son, found curtains and fix-
tures in the room ablaze and, in trying to
extinguish the flames, got badly burned
about the hands and arms. His injuries,
although most painful, are not as seri-
ous as those of his son and he will soon be
able to be about again. Mrs. Holbrow
sailed for England only a few weeks ago,
so that our friend is all alone in his
trouble.

Douglas Eccleston, for a number of
years superintendent of the celebrated
estate of Albert C. Burrage at Orchidvale,
Beverly Farms, Mass., has resigned his
position to start in business for himself
as a landscape architect in Keene, N. H.
The grand, delightful and unapproachable
exhibitions in Horticultural Hall, dur-
ing the last few years, which were the
outcome and the realizations of the dreams
of Mr. Burrage, president of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society, were un-
der the supervision and direction of Mr.
Eccleston who, through the execution and
fulfillment of the ideas of his employer,
demonstrated the possession of rare tal- .
ent. To successfully stage such shows as
the recent ones of tropical orchids, native
orchids and of native New England flow-
ers and ferns requires intuition and a
thorough, deep knowledge of plant life
such as comes only to a few gardeners.
Mr. Burrage has honored his former su-
perintendent with the first commission in
his new career by giving him the contract
for the planting and disposition of New
England's native flowering and ornamental
plants and ferns which are to find a home
in the seven hundred acre plant sanctuary
established by Mr. Burrage in New Hamp-
shire.

Billy Carr, at the Flower Exchange
Market, is entitled to the name of Lily
King. At his stall are to be found Lilium
candidum, speciosum album, roseum, rub-
rum; Lilium auratum, Lilium regale, Lil-
ium giganteum and formosum and others,
besides Lily of the Valley. Billy is not
only a crackerjack of a salesman, for you
will hardly be able to get away from him
without leaving some of your dough be-
hind, but he is also some agriculturist, as
you will soon be convinced when you
listen, to what he tells you of the monster
crops he is raising on his farm down at
Hanover.

Albert Schellenberg, architectural
draughtsman at R. & J. Farquhar & Co.,
and his bride have arrived in Switzerland
from whence they will return after a stay
of a few weeks.

Mr. and Mrs. C. Quadland's sons, North
Adams, Mass., paid a visit to Boston on
their way home from New York, where
they have attended Max Schling's Floris-
try School, of which they speak with great
appreciation and praise.

George Hamer, the ever popular janitor
at the Flower Exchange Market, is off
on a motor trip to the mountains, where
he will try to forget for awhile the hustle
and bustle of the city. How the boys at
the market will get along without George
is a serious question.

Herbert Capers, at the Cooperative
Flower Market, receives daily three to
four hundred bunches of hardy double
Gypsophila from Charles Evans, Water-
town.

Abe Blum, shipping clerk at the whole-
sale store of Dolansky-McDonald Co., and
Mrs. Blum have gone on a vacation trip,
making a first stop at New York and
Brooklyn. N. Y.

The New England Florist Supply Co.
has moved from 276 Devonshire st., to
262 Devonshire St., where the firm is now
located in the basement under the store
of Welch Bros. Co. The entrance to the
new store is right opposite to the Cooper-
ative Flower Market.

are more satisfactory to handle during the summer months.
We have particular reference to the following items:

GLADIOLI

Plenty of them now, including such varieties as GIANT
WHITE, AMERICA, HALLEY and other good commercial

EASTER LILIES

Why not arrange with us to send you some Lilies regu-
larly once or twice a week? We will ship them to you in
bud so that there will be no loss in transit, and they can
be used as they develop.

ASTERS

There is an ample supply now of a fairly good quality.
DELPHINIUM BELLADONNA we will have all summer.
There is undoubtedly an advantage in placing your busi-
ness where there is a big supply to draw from.

Philadelphia

Gladiolus was the chief star in the flo-
ral constellation last week, with Roses a
poor second. Demand generally is rather
weak, and supply in most varieties none
too plentiful. Gladiolus is the exception
and there are plenty of these blooms to
go around. Quality is very fair, consider-
ing the season.

Roses are not exceptional in quality, al-
though Russell shows some good stock
and a few good Pilgrims are available.
Good stock meets a ready demand. But
the average quality is low and the de-
mand for poor stock is small.

Asters are beginning to be a factor on
the market and show good quality gener-
ally. Delphinium belladonna is coming
into its second crop and meeting a sat-
isfactory demand.

Lilies are good in quality and the de-
mand takes care of practically all the

Gladioli

As an all-round hot weather flower the Gladioli
has no equal.

With us, our growers are cutting freely of won-
derfully choice quality — the very best and of the
newer varieties.

supply, which is considerable. Callas are
practically out of the running. Sweet Peas
are so few as to be no longer a factor.

A little Gaillardia still comes in and
ranges from 50c. to $1 a 100.

Orchids are few and demand is low.
The price has dropped on the smaller
blooms, but still reaches $1.50 for extra
nice stock.

Notes

Charles E. Meehan had some nice
outdoor Larkspur July 11. This stock
was probably the first of the season, al-
though there has been considerable in-
door stock.

The first Scabiosa noticed this season
was at Eugene Bernheimer's. It was
bringing about 25c. a bunch. The Phila-
delphia Cut Flower Co. had some nice
Rose pink Gladioli last week. This va-
riety is new this year and comes from
George W. Wolfram, Berlin. N. J. Geo.
Aeugle of this firm continues to improve
in a satisfactory manner, and little doubt
is expressed but that he will be able to
make an appearance in the store in a few
weeks.

The Philadelphia Wholesale Florists
Exchange had some Tiger Lilies last
week, which brought around 5c. Man-
ager Jacob Deutscher announced that the
firm's car was stolen last week and
abandoned in the road, where it was dis-
covered by the police.

Price vs. Quantity

We were talking to a wholesaler
last week and the subject of Gladiolus
came up. We knew there was more than
usual of this stock around and we had
guessed the reason. This is what the
wholesaler said: "Too many are in the
Gladiolus business that are not florists
and they create a bad market for those
who depend on the florist's business for
their living. In one week we have turned
down ten people — mostly farmers — that
had from one to three acres of Gladioli.
We do not believe in encouraging these
people. If every wholesaler in the city
would adopt a similar policy, in one year
the outsiders would cease to trouble the
market."

good deal of business last week. While
we were there a basket of Lotus and Del-
phinium was prepared which was a sure
'miff novelty for this season. A full win-
dow of this bloom was entirely cleaned
out July 10.

Charles Henry Fox reported exception-
ally good business for the tune of year.

J. J. Habermehl's Sons are kept busy
with regular work in funerals and wed-
dings, with little moving in the way of
decorations.

"Bob" Stewart of Geiger's was talking
about a ball game 35 years ago played
against the Robert Craig Co.. The inter-
esting part was that two kegs of beer
stood in the side lines throughout the
game.

Will they be dead

when you get back?

WHEN you leave the fumigator burn-
ing in the greenhouse and shut the
door after you— how sure are you that it
will do its work ?

That all depends on the fumigator.

Hall's Nicotine Fumigator

is prepared under accurate and scientific
processes that insure its effectiveness against
plant -lice, thrips, and similar soft -bodied,
sucking insects.

It lights quickly, burns evenly and will
not go out. No waste — every particle is
consumed.

It is guaranteed to contain 12>^% pure
nicotine and it retains this strength indefi-
nitely—the air-tight tins take care of that.
It is most economical; in fact, it costs but
25 cents to fumigate the ordinary green-
house (20 by 100 feet.)

10-pound tins, $8.50; 212-pound tins, $2.50;
1-pound tins, $1.25. Buy from your dealer.

the Murphy Automatic Furnace. As the fuel progresses
downward the alternate movement of the grates breaks
the fuel bed — prevents avalanehing — keeps the grates
clinker-free and advances the ash gradually to a point
where it is removed by the clinker grinder

The MURPHY FURNACE burns not only one, but many fuels

at high efficiency

Consider these points

It eliminates smoke loss; it is automatic; it requires little attention; it can be adjusted while
in operation; it is standard; it is economical, efficient, sensible and can be adapted to any condition.

ably forfeit the half inning, however, so
that two full innings remain to be played.

The defeat of the Independents by Bick-
more took place July 10 at Darby. The
I. F. C. had Opitz in the box for the first
time and he remained eight innings be-
fore being replaced by Meehan. This en-
tailed Opitz's place at third with a new
man and probably accounted for the wild
break in the fifth inning, when Bickmore
scored eight runs. Manager Stewart Mil-
ler of the Independents was forced to
quit the game with a turned ankle.

Craig failing to turn up for its game
with Niessen, July 10, the game was for-
feited according to the rules, which gives
Xiessen two straight victories so far.
Bickmore also has two straight wins and
these two teams lead the league.

The scores for the first week are as
follows :

JULY 6
Independents 22; Pennock 16

Retailers 19; Dreer 12

Niessen 9; Bayersdorfer 7

Bickmore 10; Craig 9

JULY 10

Bickmore 16; Independents S

Pennock S; Dreer 8 (game called)

Retailers 0; Bayersdorfer 15

Niessen vs. Craig (Forfeited to Niessen)

The whole of the Philadelphia whole-
sale market was at Belmont, July 6 for
the opening game between the Independ-
ents and the "Pennoeks.'' Two benches
scarcely held the ladies and the lines were
well filled with rooters.

It Lets The Florist Sleep

Actual use proves Merits and Defects.
Twenty -two years' actual use has proved
that our Boilers are the ones to buy. If
every Florist in the Country knew as
much about our Boilers as Mr. Snell,

EVERY FLORIST WOULD BUY our
Boilers, as he has done for the past
twenty-two years.

HERE IS HIS LETTER:

Herkimer, N. Y.
June 8, 1922.

Giblin

Boiler

BUY NOW

Giblin & Company
Utica, N. Y.

Gentlemen:

Within twenty-two (22) years past I have bought eight boilers from you and have
bought boilers from no one else.

My purchases were as follows:

Newville, N. Y., December, 1900, 1 No. 70 Steam Boiler for greenhouses.

Mohawk, N. Y., December, 1906, 1 No. 407 Boiler for greenhouses.

Herkimer, N. Y., December 11, 1911, 1 No. 407 Steam Boiler for greenhouses.

Herkimer, N. Y., January, 1916, 1 No. 70 Steam Boiler for residence.

Ilion, N. Y., September, 1916, 1 No. 406 Steam Boiler for greenhouses.

Little Falls, N. Y., January, 1921, 1 No. 407 Steam Boiler for greenhouses.

Little Falls, N. Y., August 26, 1921, 1 No. 407 Steam Boiler for greenhouses.

Mohawk, N. Y., June 1, 1922, 1 No. 409 Steam Boiler for greenhouses.

At Mohawk I have planned my boiler room so as to use two additional boilers, when
further enlargements of greenhouses are made.

1 bought the first boiler because I was anxious to see if it was all you claimed for it.
I found it was and I have bought the other boilers because I felt I could buy no others
that would give as much for the money invested.

I have found your boilers economical in fuel, in some instances doing the work for
one-half it cost with other boilers.

I have maintained an even temperature for ten hours without attention.

If florists would disregard the first cost, which is ONCE ONLY, and pay more atten-
tion to the maintenance cost, they would get more profit out of their business.

I have been offered other boilers at lower prices than yours, but I thought the prices
I paid you none too high for what I got in return.

Yours truly, W. D. SNELL.

GIBLIN & CO.,

Utica, N. Y.

You can get cypress free of sap

All the wood members in Callahan Greenhouses are
cut from selected Louisiana Cypress free of sap.

It is a little difficult to get this really wonderful
long-lived material at times, but the point that inter-
ests you is, we do get it.

We know that Callahan Greenhouses have won wide
popularity in a very competitive field by reason of
their improved design and high quality of workman-
ship and material.

From the beginning we have used only the very
highest grade of Lousiana Red Gulf Cypress free of
sap.

Our customers wanted it then. They want it now.
We believe in it, and therefore exert unusual efforts
to get the very select grade.

It will pay you to get our figures on new green-
houses or repairs. Orders should be placed now for
September delivery.

When a man repeats

he's satisfied that your article is the best that can be had for the money, that your service is second to
none, regardless of whether the article is a pair of shoes or a greenhouse.

A group of thirty-five consecutive orders received recently show that
One grower placed his fourth order.
Five growers placed their third order.
Ten growers placed their second order.
Nineteen growers placed their first order.
Sixteen growers, or 43%, have purchased from two to four times, a criterion that King houses
and service are right.

Nineteen growers, or 57%, have purchased their first house only after a thorough investigation
of King construction and methods.

It's all very well to discuss a greenhouse before it's constructed but — ask the man who
had some other make of house before he had a King and listen to his story of why he repeats
with a King.

We'll be glad to tell you about our types of construction and to co-operate with you in
planning your next house.

When you think of good greenhouses, think of "KING"

IMPORTANT

This Means a Lot to You

There are two things that most of us are
mostly alike in.

1 . We get so used to seeing the things we see

that we don't see them.

2. We know so many things, that we forget that

we know some of them.

For example: Every advertisement of ours always carries
at the bottom a list of our three factories and nine offices.
Still every once in a while we bump into a grower who
somehow has the impression that our Western and
Canadian houses are still being manufactured and shipped
from our original home factory at Irvington, New York.
Every one of these men has seen those factories listed
at the bottom of our ads. Every one of them at one time
or another knows that 1 5 years ago we erected a splendid
up-to-date factory at Des Plaines, about 10 miles from
Chicago. Likewise, that for ten years we have had our
own model factory at St. Catharines, Canada, just across
Lake Erie from Toronto.

These three factories of ours mean dollars saved for you.
They mean a tremendous saving in freight rates, as all
your shipments will be made from the factory that means
the cheapest freight rate. The St. Catharines factory is
run by The Lord & Burnham Co., Ltd., a Canadian Cor-
poration in which we are largely interested. And another
thing, always bear in mind that your small orders are most
welcome and given the same careful attention as the
large ones. Our business is mostly made up of small
orders, in spite of the fact that we do so many of the big
things.

CHEERFUL

Burpee's
New Sweet Pea
A rich shade
of rose.

The illustration
was engraved
from a life-size
photograph taken
on Burpee's Ford-
hook Farms.

THIS fine novelty is an entirely new shade
among the Early or Winter Flowering
Sweet Peas. It is most appropriately
named, the color being a soft "cheerful"
shade of Begonia-rose. The color is pure
throughout, with no other tints. Few
varieties make such an imposing bunch as
this great gem. The flowers combine im-
mense size with good form. The standard
is broad and well waved. The wings are
also much frilled, and in size of the right
proportion to the magnificent spreading
standard. The whole flower is all that could
be desired.

CHEERFUL is good under all conditions
and lightens up to a most attractive bright-
ness under artificial light. The substance of
the flowers is thick and heavy, adding great-
ly to the keeping value after being cut. They
are well-placed in fours on long stout stems.

CHEERFUL is a good grower and bears
a large crop of giant flowers, on strong and
healthy vines. The foliage is a rich deep
green. Not only are the individual flower
spikes most artistic, but they make up into
a delightful bunch.

CHEERFUL was awarded a Certificate
of Merit, at the great International Flower
Show, New York, 1921.

The Florists' Exchange

NOW IN TRANSIT

LILIUM FORMOSUM and

PAPER WHITE GRANDIFLORA

NARCISSUS

Our Personal Representative now in France cables that growers
do not expect to harvest more than 50 per cent of Good Flowering
Bulbs of Paperwhite Narcissus as against the crop of iQ2i which, as is
well known, was far below normal. However, the fact of our man
having been in the growing section lor the past month and with
"spot cash" payment, we have been able to secure a large share of the
output of same and which we believe will make it possible
for us to maintain our leadership for the supply of
this important French Bulb. The small crop of Paper-
whites has enabled growers to dictate prices. Neverthe-
less, we believe that even with the comparatively high
selling values which must necessarily obtain on this side,
Florists will still find Paperwhites a profitable adjunct
to their business when same are properly grown. Buyers
who have already favored us with their orders will get "First Call" as to prices and deliveries, but intending purchasers of Paperwhites
will be taken care of to the best of our ability and quick action is we believe imperative on your part if you contemplate laying in a
supply of these bulbs for the coming season. Write today.

Begbie.

WHERE'S that sign man?" "Who's head janitor
on this place anyhow?" "Cohen, you got any
pins?" "Where's the guy with the Cokes?"
These and many others just like them were the sounds
that greeted the writer's ears early Wednesday morn-
ing, as he stepped into 'the main entrance of The Fair
Park Coliseum at Pallas. It was just 9 o'clock in the
morning, and the formal opening of the convention
was not scheduled until 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
On every hand all was hustle and apparent confusion.
Exhibitors were getting in last minute supplies, a few
last minute reservations for space were being made,
and those who had their goods arranged early were
poring over long price lists with a pencil in their
hand putting down the fateful figures.

"Good morning, Mr. Lang ! And where is Davis this
morning?" The writer turned in the direction from
whence came the cordial voice, and there beheld the
genial Mr. Greve, of The Dallas Floral Co., vice-presi-
dent of the association, greeting Mr. Lang — probably
the largest retail florist in Texas (from point of view
of volume of business done). He was looking for
Veruer Davis of Fort Worth, the president.

There is something inspirational in the meeting of
"big men" in your business. Whether the inspiration
comes from within, as the result of anticipation and
expectancy, or whether it comes from without, as the
radiating magnetism of the man who does big things,
makes no difference. One of the greatest benefits of a
convention is the stimulation received from coming
in contact with other successful men in your own line
of business. It is the old story of: if you have an
idea, and I have an idea, and we each give ours to
the other — we will then both have two ideas, and
neither of us will have lost a thing.

Then, there is that phase of a convention in our
business which is too often neglected from false, mo-
tives of modesty, which the writer believes to be one
of the leading attractions present. It is the exhibits.
The exhibiting supply men are originators of 90
per cent of the progressive ideas seen in the florist
shops in the country.

A Great Display

Texas was favored this year with one of the best
trade exhibitions it would be possible to collect. Men
who represented the respective houses said over and
over again that they had spared no expense nor
time, in assembling their line, and that their factories
could have done no more for a meeting ten times the
size of ours. Certainly, the supply houses there had
everything we knew enough to want at any rate. The
A. L. Randall Co. of Chicago, whose exhibit was just
to the right of the main entrance, had one of the
largest and most attractive displays. Their line of
baskets carried many new offerings and they intro-
duce! two innovations of the Randall fountain which
were the most beautiful things at the convention. But
the most original thing on view was a canary bird
hi a beautiful cage which (the bird) sang at your
own bidding. It not only sang, but it twitched its
head, and fluttered its tail. And it came in all colors
—yellow, or red, or variegated. In fact, for the very
exacting, there was provided one cage with three
birds in it, whose voices were selected to harmonize,
and whose training was so perfect that they never

irrupted each other, or sang different tunes at the

same time. All this was accomplished by means of a
spring underneath the cage, a piece of simple ma-
chinery, and a key to twist. The only thing you
could not do, was to afford to buy them.

Rivaling this exhibit in completeness was the dis-
play of H. Bayersdorfer & Co. Enlarged by the addi-
tion of some twenty bird cages, and the Krause Co.'s
line of art work baskets, the Bayersdorfer booth
was a veritable storeroom of florists' supplies.
Everything a florist uses is the motto of Bayersdorfer.

Walter Armacost, himself, of Los Angeles, came to
meet the florists of Texas, and to show us a Cali-
fornia line of supplies. His basket exhibit— all in a
dull, turquoise blue — was one of the most artistic on
view. M. Rice & Co. had their usual Keystone Qual-
ity line, and the Ove Gnatt Co. with their general
supplies also. Ove Gnatt Co. are to be congratulated
upon having their Mr. Ahles, who was ingenious
enough to supply his section with a library table, a
set of upholstered wicker chairs, and a Victrola for
the convenience and comfort of his victims. Inci-
dentally, however, he carried the best line of artifi-
cially preserved Texas wild flowers in the hall. We

body now having a membership in jthe S. A. F. and O. H. will make

Mr. Begbie as well a director in the parent Society

are developing a new industry by the sale of colored
weeds and grasses, and we saw the excellent possibili-
ties in this field in the display of Mr. Ahles.

McCallum & Co. showed us something new in metal-
lic vases which look like mahogany, while the T. J.
Noll Floral Co. of Kansas City, surprised us by the
extent and variety of their exhibit. The bulb com-
panies, of course, were there, but they, being the
bread and butter of the flower business, are never
entitled to as much appreciation as the cake. The
chiffon and ribbon displays would have done credit
to a department store convention ; many of us saw
more "pretties" than were good for our pocketbooks.
The Opening Meeting

When the soft drink man opened up and the registra-
tion book started to fill up, everywhere was noise,
and friendliness; you forgot business in the general
good time you had in talking to an old friend or in
developing a new one.

By 2 o'clock in the afternoon, most everybody had
met or seen most everybody else, so we then moved
to the auditorium where the president and other
famous men awaited the time to open.

Rev. Thos. F. Harper, of Dallas, opened with
prayer. The address of welcome was delivered by
Mr. Galloway, City Attorney, of Dallas, who spoke in
the absence of the mayor.

J. W. Begbie, that hale and hearty florist of Shreve-
port, La., whose geniality of person and wholesome-
ness of character were largely responsible for his
being later selected president, responded to the wel-
come.

After each speaker, President Davis had thought-
fully interspersed musical numbers, so that the next
speaker would have time to overcome his nervousness
and the closing speaker would be applauded twice.
The Paul Ashley orchestra entertained during the
opening, and were assisted by a splendid mixed quar-
tette, and by Dr. and Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. Robinson
and Mrs. Lang, as vocal soloists.

President Verner J. Davis then delivered his ad-
dress, in which he called attention to the fact that
during the recent business depression, florists had
suffered less than any other industry. He praised
the resources of our great State and cited proofs
that we could raise every flower in Texas that florists
use. He emphasized the truth that there is more
opportunities in the floral business in Texas now
than in any other State in the Union. Each member
was exhorted to make the most of the convention,
enjoy what had been prepared for their entertain-
ment, and add to what had been done for their educa-
tion.

Distinguished Visitors

Following his address Mr. Davis introduced to us
several of the most distinguished visitors to our con-
vention, among whom were Walter Armacost of Los
Angeles, who took the whole convention by storm, and
probably left more inspiration with us, and more
friends among us, thau any other one man present;
A. S. Gray, president of the Oklahoma State Florists
Association ; Mr. Gullett, of Lincoln, 111. ; John Fur-
row, of Oklahoma City; J. F. Ammann of Edwards-
ville. 111.— that far famed former ex-president of the
S. A. F.. and that hard worker for the F. T. D.,
whose sincerity and enthusiasm in his work was a
lesson to us all; Mr. Benson, of the Denver Whole-
sale Cut Flower Co.; H. G. Berning, of St. Louis,
who has more of us at his mercy than any other man
in the United States ; T. J. Noll, of Kansas City ; and
T. J. Owen, Jr., of Columbus, Miss. All of these
men slammed our weather appropriately, and assured
us that their chief happiness was being realized in
their presence there, and then sat down. That, of
course, gave us an opportunity to look them over, and
make friends with them later.

A few announcements were then made; the report
of the secretary-treasurer, including the minutes of
the last convention, was read ; and the reports of the
several committees were made. The session then ad-
journed, having completed the necessary routine work
of the opening day.
The Man of the Hour

Just at this time came the surprise and meat of
the convention. Peter Miller, manager of the stores
of Geo. Wienhoeber, Chicago, was, next to Mr. Arma-
cost, the most popular man of the convention. He
came all the way from Chicago to show us for one
hour each day, how they do it in Chicago in the way
of designing. And Mr. Miller was able to teach us a
lot. The first day he made a bride's bouquet of Lilv
of the Valley and Tuberoses that was a revelation to
nearly everyone present. He rubbed it in by making
a few maid's bouquets out of Althea and Blue Bells
(which flowers we consider nothing) which were as
pretty as most of us could make out of flowers ten
times as expensive. Mr. Miller was a fast worker,
and an interesting demonstrator. He talked the whole
while, answered questions, replied swiftly to a few
pointed jokes thrown at him, and gave out a lot of
general advice on how to run a store. Most of us
would have come to the convention just to see his
three demonstrations. The second day he made up
some funeral work, using only the commonest of
Texas flowers, and created a beautiful casket cover
out of flowers most of us would have considered
junk. And he opened our eyes with innovations in
door sprays, practical suggestions in the making up
of funeral sprays, and then made a pillow in 20 min-
utes which any of us would have been proud to own,
after working for two hours on it. The third day
Mr. Miller devoted to novelties. Pie made a couple of
corsages out of our Texas weeds which we should
liked to have sold to our best customer. He made a
basket or two and a cradle— the prettiest the writer
ever saw, aud then he answered a volley of questions
on how he did it in Chicago, what prices he got, how
he educated his customers, how he managed his store,
and how long he had been a florist, and how old he
was. The writer left because he didn't care how many
teeth be had, nor how many times he had been mar-
ried— aud that was fast becoming the trend of the
questions. But Mr. Miller was a main attraction at
Dallas; we were all glad to meet him, and shake
hands with him ; to most of us it was a treat to meet
a man with his knowledge and information.

The night of the opening day of the convention was
spent in the only cool place in Dallas, the roof gar-
den on top of the New Jefferson Hotel. Here, to the
accompaniment of good music and good punch, you
met the charming daughters of the older florists, and

Charles Schwake Returns from Europe

Charles Schwake of Charles Schwake &
Co., Inc., 149 Church St., who sailed for
Europe on May 30 on the S. S. Beren-
garia, returned to this country on Sat-
urday, July 8, on the S. S. George Wash-
ington. Mr. Schwake's first stop was at
Southampton, Eng.; thence he went to
Reading, where he visited Sutton & Sons.
Then he crossed the channel to Holland,
and after spending some days there, went
to southern France, whence, after several
days sojourn he went to Germany. He re-
ports that as regards the bulb crop, the
prospects in Holland are not above medium
on account of an unfavorable Winter and
Spring, and that conditions in the South
of France were very bad on account of
the continuous drought, which has re-
sulted in the production of a short crop
and undersized bulbs. Prices on French
bulbs are certain to go sky-high, says Mr.
Schwake — many times higher than in the
pre-war period, and quite out of propor-
tion. The Lily of the Valley in Ger-
many, he reports, was looking fine when
!he saw it in the fields, and barring un-
favorable weather conditions, a good
quality crop may be reasonably expected;
however, the quantity obtainable will ap-
parently be much below normal. Prices
on Valley are not yet fixed and will not
be until somewhat later in the season. Mr.
Schwake, judging from his personal ap-
pearance at the time of our call, has re-
turned in improved health and apparently
fit to take good care of his long estab-
lished and large increasing business in
Lily of the Valley pips, Japanese Lilies
and French and Dutch bulbs.

The S. S. Asia, which arrived on July
14, brought to F. Rynveld & Sons the
season's first shipment of Paperwhite Nar-
cissus, The next shipment is expected on
the S. S. Providence, due July 28, and the
:S. S. Canada, due Aug. 6, will probably
bring the bulk of the Paperwhite crop
destined for this country. Thus the
French bulb season is now open.

Dutch bulb shipments are not expected
to be as early as last year, recent advices
being to the effect that cold weather has
interfered with digging and curing. Ad-
vices by cable are that the first ship-
ment of the season of Lilium formosum
is now on the way to this country.

McHutchison & Co.

Calling this week on McHutchison &
Co., 95 Chambers St., for any news that
James McHutchison, who sailed for
Europe several weeks ago, was sending
home, we found C. B. Knickman, who told
,us that Mr. McHutchison was carrying
out his itinerary in Europe and expected
to return to this country on Aug. 18 ac-
cording to schedule. Mr. Knickman had
just returned from a business trip in the
West, during which he attended the Nur-
serymen's Convention at Detroit. The
nurserymen, he said, have had an ex-
tremely prosperous year and will appar-
ently enjoy the same for the next two or
three years. The prices of trees dur-
ing these years, it would appear, cannot
be otherwise than high, partly, at least,
because of the seedling fruit stock im-
ported from France this year, fully 40
per cent was lost.

This loss may have been caused by the
severe washing of the roots to meet the
requirements of the Federal Horticultural
Board, which completely removed the ex-
tremely thin coating of soil which is so
necessary to preserve the life of the seed-
ing during transportation. This loss of
French seedlings will also raise the price
of American seedlings, said Mr. Knick-
man, and the ultimate result, as stated
oefore, will be to keep the price of fruit
rees high. We also learned that Mc-
Hutchison & Oo. on July 13 lost 300 bales
r't Raffia, stored in Thomas Meehan's
storage houses at Dresher, Pa., through

fire caused by lightning. The Meehan
barn and some nursery and farm machin-
ery stored in it were also burned.

Seitaro Arai Dead

A cablegram received on July 15 by a
prominent bulb importer in this city,
reads in part: "Regret to inform you
Father Seitaro Arai died from meningitis
at Erabu. Business will be conducted by
Inoske Arai." Seitaro Arai is well known
to many as a large grower and exporter of
Japanese Lily bulbs.

At Vaughan's Seed Store, 41-43 Barclay
St., the booking of many orders for
French and Dutch bulbs- is reported.
Freesias are now beginning to arrive.
There is a continued strong demand for
insecticides of all kinds. We cannot help
note at this store, the frequently changed
and well arranged window displays, and
the equally attractive store salesroom

display in which insecticides, garden
tools, lawn requisites and seasonable
seeds for ,late planting are factors.

George A. Burnett Sails for Europe

George A. Burnett of Burnett Bros., 92
Chambers St., accompanied by Mrs. Bur-
nett and their son, Samuel, sailed on Sat-
urday, July 22, for Europe on the S. S.
Adriatic. They will spend most of their
time in Northern Ireland and will also
visit Scotland, England and perhaps Hol-
land, being abroad two months or more.
Burnett Bros, are finishing the mailing of
their 1922 retail Autumn bulb catalog.
Store renovation, including some changes
and the repainting of the store front and
entire interior, has added greatly to the
appearance of the firm's quarters.

Wm. H. Hunt & Co., 148 Chambers st.,
report that perennial flower seeds are
moving well, and the demand for Straw-
berry plants is so large that it is difficult
to keep up with the orders. Wm. Devanny,
secretary of the company, is now on his
annual vacation, during which he is tour-
ing the country in his new Hudson car.
Wm. Hunt is still away from the city,
completing a long and prosperous busi-
ness trip.

High Prices Not Stopping Bulb Sales

Several weeks ago we published in these
columns a letter sent by a prominent bulb
importing firm of this city to all its cus-
tomers who had booked orders for French
bulbs. We learn this week that about
60 per cent of the customers answered the
letter about thirty per cent of
these confirming the orders previously
booked. Later advices received from

France to the effect that French bulb
prices had advanced still higher, caused
this firm to send out a second letter
of similar import. Up to July 17,
19 replies to this letter had been received,
17 of them confirming their orders. inis
shows the attitude of at least some buy-
ers of French bulbs toward the rapid ad-
vance of price. . _

A telegram to Roman J. Irwin, 43 West
18th St., from one of his growers, con-
firms the prevailing opinion regarding the
Purity Freesia situation. It advises that
the %in. and up size is almost an unknown
quantity. Crops everywhere are much
below anticipations; so much so, that a
number of growers will do no digging, as
the return would be less than the labor
cost involved.

Chicago Seed Trade

The Chicago papers characterized the
rain of the past week as "A Million Dol-
lar Rain." Probably never in the his-
tory of agricultural conditions was so
much anxiety manifested by the market
gardeners, especially the Onion set grow-
ers The metrological bureau states there
was a period of 42 days drought which
is the longest on record in this section.
A rather serious condition would have
resulted financially on the agricultural
situation which would indirectly aflect
the florist and seed trade, but for the
recent rain.

The American Field Seed Co., 1929
W Forty-third St., has been incorporated
with a capital stock of $50,000 to deal m
farm, field and garden seed, etc. The in-
corporators are: E. E. Elder, C. C. Jin-
dress F. L. Bicket, Jeffery Campbell and
Clark First National Bank Building, cor-
respondent. ,
The American Bulb Co. reports a good
demand for Freesia bulbs and Cyclamen
seed. I. Rosnosky, who represented the
house at the Texas and Oklahoma State
conventions, reports good business at both
meetings. John Degnan is at work on the
wholesale bulb catalog which will be issued
shortly. ,
Vaughan's Seed Store reports good,
business in Pansy seed and Sweet Peas
for Winter blooming. Freesia Purity are
moving well. There is a good supply on
hand for immediate shipment. American
grown Chinese Narcissus are offered to
the trade. There is still a demand for
Gladioli bulbs for late planting, but the
season is about over.
Death of Famous Lily Exporter in
Japan
The American Bulb Co. received cable
advice on Thursday last of the death of
Seitaro Arai which occurred on the island
of Erabu where Lilium formosum bulbs
are produced. Mr. Seitaro, aged 65 years,
was the founder of the well known export-
ing firm of this name, the offices of which
are located in Yokohama, Japan. In ad-
dition to their large exports of Lilium
Giganteum and other bulbs to America,
they likewise carried on a most exten-
sive business along general commercial

Seitaro Arai visited America for the
first time in 1917 and made many friends
during his sojourn in this country. When
A Miller of the American Bulb Co. vis-
ited Japan in 1919, Mr. Arai expressed
his kindest recollections of his American
trip and a strong desire to again pay a
visit to his many friends in this country.

For the past ten years, the business has
been carried on by his son Inoski Arai,
Mr Arai, Sr., devoting his time to his
stable of famous horses. Mr. Aral, Jr.,
has made a signal success of this important
business since becoming manager, having
extended the same from a comparatively
small export concern to one of the largest
in Japan, the total volume during the
war amounting to some ten million dol-

The sympathy of Mr. Arai's many
friends here and the American trade in
general is extended to the family of this
esteemed gentlemen.

vided a rate of 4c. a pound when it passed
the pending McCumber-Fordney tariff bill,
but the Senate Finance Committee struck
the item out and left the seeds subject
to a duty of 20 per cent ad valorem in
what is termed, in Congressional circles
and the Treasury, the "catch-all provi-
sion" of the seed paragraph.

The seed producers in the middle West
have taken the matter up with Senator
Townsend of Michigan, and he has gone
to the Senate Finance Committee with a
proposition to eliminate the ad valorem
duty and to provide instead a flat rate of
10c. a pound on all seeds imported. He
tells the committee the ad valorem duty
will be difficult to handle and that there
will be constant controversy between the
seed importers and the Government; fur-
ther, that the rate of 20 per cent at va-
lorem would make a specific rate of about
lie. per pound on all grades of seed.
Imports of flower seeds from all foreign
countries during the fiscal year of 1914
were valued at $295,195. The united
States Tariff Commission gives the fol-
lowing figures on the importations of seeds
for the calendar years which followed, as,
1918, 142,152, 1919, $269,376; 1920, $656,-
379; 1921 (for nine months) $189,577.

The Finance Committee has called on
the Tariff Commission for additional
data before taking any further action
on the request of Senator Townsend.

The Paperwhite Situation

Since our last report about Paper-
whites, matters grow worse from day to
day. The crop is very short; our growers
are lifting their bulbs and beginning to
bring them in. There are very few 13cm.
bulbs, a bair quantity of 12cm., but more
than half of the crop consists of 11cm.
bulbs.

Prices are advancing daily, especial'
those of the 13cm. bulbs. Many export;
ers, realizing that this size will be scarce,
and thinking that it will be sold to the
American consumer at a premium, are
offering fancy prices to secure it, and
knocking, one after the other, at the
grower's door to solicit the favor of buy-
ing his crop.

Naturally, the growers are getting quite
mad, before these ceaseless solicitations
from the exporters, and are asking prices
to make one's hair stand on end!

Most likely, the American buyer wil
have his word to say in this matter, am
nobody seems to care for him. We look
with a keen interest at the further de-
velopments and will report you later.

Bulb Growing in B. C.

It is reported that Dutch interests have
purchased land near Victoria, B. C, with
a view to commercial bulb growing.

Assuming the report is correct, there is
every reason for assuming that high class
Daffodil and late Tulip bulbs, if nothing
more, will be produced. The climate
is well suited to such stock, and as is
well known considerable seed is also being
grown there, particularly Sweet Peas.

The most interesting feature of the re-
ported purchase is that Hollanders are
concerned in it. Hollanders, too, are
prominent in Bellingham, Wash. Hol-
landers have even bought land in England
for bulb growing.

One might imagine that far seeing Hol-
landers fear that all their best buying
centers will be shut off from them some
day, and that the best way to meet the
case is to pack up and locate right among
their customers.

Week at the Capital

By CLARENCE L. LINZ

■ w »'W'»\

Coal Prospects Serious

Uuless coal mining is resumed within
a very few weeks there will be a serious
shortage of fuel next Winter, which will
seriously hamper manufacturing in all
lines of industry. Reports at the De-
partment of Commerce last week indicated
that the railroads and the public utilities
had on hand sufficient coal to last them
about six weeks, but that the florists, in
the majority of cases, have no coal yet
laid by for next Winter.

More than five million tons of coal a
week should now be going over the Great
Lakes for the Northwest and unless this
movement can be inaugurated in the near
future, Government officials intimate that
it may be necessary to put stringent pri-
ority orders into effect this Fall which
would seriously affect consumers in the
East and middle-West.

The .railroads and public utilities have
depleted their reserve of coal and it will
be necessary to replenish these supplies
on top of the regular movement of fuel
and in face of an overburdened traffic
resulting from the railroad strike. By
no stretch of the imagination can Gov-
ernment officials or coal operators see a
plentitude of coal for next Winter; in
fact, all energies will have to be exerted
to prevent a shortage.

A new phase has come into the situa-
tion by the failure of certain of the small-
er non-union mines to live up to their
price agreement with the Secretary of
Commerce. After six weeks of price
regulation, the lure of additional profits
has proved too much for some of the op-
erators and they have increased their
prices by $1 and more per ton over the
maximum agreed upon. Secretary Hoover
is endeavoring to whip these hold-outs
into line, but has admitted that he has
no authority with which to enforce the
agreement made some weeks ago.

To Reduce the Fire Tax

Business men throughout the country
are to be enlisted in a nation-wide cam-
paign which has been undertaken by the
United States Chamber of Commerce for
the purpose of reducing our fire loss. More
than a billion dollars in property and
from 15,000 to 25,000 lives are lost each
year through fire, much of which, it is
believed, could be prevented by proper
precautions and protection.

This fire tax, it was pointed out, is far
heavier than the income tax, yet there
has never been any complaint about it.
The plans of the Chamber call for both
publicity and the bringing of the matter
before civic and trade organizations
throughout the country. Organizations
in the flower and seed industries will be
asked to cooperate in reducing fire loss
by means of inspection of buildings and
the installation of such fire fighting equip-
ment as may be found necessary.

That business prepared itself for the
railroad strike is shown by the report
of ear loadings of manufactured products
filed by the carriers with the American
Railway Association. During the week
ending July 1, 575,146 cars were loaded,
a big increase over the loadings of the
previous week, and a gain of some 104,-
120 cars over the corresponding* week
last year.

The general loading of revenue freight,
totaling, 876,S90 cars, was a decrease of
960 cars from the preceding week, but
this is almost entirely due to lessened
coal production.

New Law Against Fake Checks

It has been stated that the florist trade
of Washington has annually suffered the
loss of large sums of money through the
operations of persons, both men and
women, who prey upon merchants through
the medium of worthless paper. A re-
cently enacted socalled ''phony check" law
provides for fines and imprisonment for
those who engage in the old time practice.

For the benefit of those in the trade
who were unable to secure a copy of the
law from the Capitol, its text is presented
herewith:

Be it enacted bv the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States
of America in Congress assembled, That
any person within the District «f Co-
lumbia who, with intent to defraud,
shall make, draw, utter, or deliver any
check, draft, or order for the payment

Heating Queries

I have just erected a house 26ft.xl00ft.
running east and west in which I will
grow Snapdragons and Carnations. I
will have a 3in. feed extending in house
20ft. Will six runs of l%in. pipe on one
side and four runs of l%in. pipe on
other side keep the house 50 deg. to 55
deg. at zero, with steam heat? There is
about 3000ft. glass exposure. Will a
square sectional boiler of 1450ft. capac-
ity be large enough? — D. F. H., Pa.

— The ten lines of l%in. pipe you pro-
pose to use should be ample for a tem-
perature of 50 deg. to 55 deg. at night
when the mercury outside is at zero, pro-
viding the house is of ordinary sound
construction and tightly glazed with dou-
ble thick glass, and the size of boiler you
refer to should be large enough for this
work.

How much radiation will be required
to heat a small greenhouse of the fol-
lowing dimensions (night temperature,
55 deg.?): Length, 53ft.; width, 17ft.
6in. ; height, 9ft. 6in. ; means of heating,
hot water, overhead flows, under bench
returns. Two inch flow mains, l^in-.
return coils. Area of glass approximate-
ly_ 1394ft., exposed wood sides, double,
with paper between. Direction of house,
north and south, boiler house on the
north end.— F. H. W., L. I.

— The greenhouse you describe has
equivalent to 1419 sq. ft. of exposed glass
surface, and if tightly glazed with double
thick glass, will require 473 sq. ft. of
radiation to maintain a night tempera-
ture of 55 deg. when the mercury outside
is at zero.

Two lines of 2in. overhead mains
would equal 66 sq. ft. of radiation and
eighteen lines of l^in. pipe would equal
415 sq. ft. of radiation, making a total
of 481 sq. ft., but I would advise using
two 2%in. overhead mains in place of
the 2in. you refer to.

We are considering installing two boil-
ers to burn soft coal and coke for a hot
water system. What size of boilers will
we require to heat the following green-
houses: One, 33ft.xl00ft., temperature 45
deg.; one, 18ft.xl00ft., temperature 60
deg.; two, 18ft.x50ft., temperature 50
deg.?— J. W., Pa.

— Your sketch does not show whether
the houses are detached or how much
glass there is on the vertical sides, but
assuming the houses are detached and that
there are two feet of exposed glass on the
vertical side of each house and both ends
glazed, I figure the 33ft.xl00ft. house
would have equivalent to about 4602 sq.
ft. of exposed glass and would require
about 1151 sq. ft. of radiation for 45 deg.;
the 18ft.xl00ft. house would require 1052
sq. ft. of radiation for a temperature of
60 deg., and each of the 18ft.x50ft. houses
424 sq. ft. of radiation for 50 deg. These
temperatures are figured for when the
mercury outside is at zero.

The radiation above mentioned totals
3051 sq. ft., to which should be added 10
per cent for the mains and 20 per cent
for surplus boiler capacity, and as soft
coal is to be used, I would advise using
two sectional boilers, each having a grate
surface of at least eight sq. ft.

SNAPDRAGON

Snapdragons have moved into first
place with all wide-awake florists and are
earning growers more money than any
flower in cultivation. This is esp ecially
true among growers with a retail outlet
Splendid blooms may be had any month
in the year, with a bumper crop over the
three great flower days — Easter, Mother's
Day, and Memorial, extending throughout
June graduations.

Snapdragons are easy to grow and good
seed may be had at such small cost that
there is no excuse for having inferior stock.
Producing Snapdragon Seed is our one
business and the ever increasing orders
show how well we attend to it. Years of
experience and our reputation are back of
every packet of seed. See complete list
below. First cornea

nounce a new addition to our Snapdragon
family and introduce "HELEN," a gor-
geous, delicate salmon, named for a daughter who graciously assisted in bringing our business

very prolific. We have never had so many pleasing comments by visitors and many advance
orders have been placed. This variety will please the most exacting and should be in every
collection. Prices as follows, (no half packets sold).

Primulas

Their Value for the Retail Grower

To the retail grower, there are but few
plants, if any, which equal the Primulas
in usefulness, and while there are quite
a number of varieties, we, as yet, don't
make much use of the "Big Four." P.
obconica, malacoides, chinensis and the
Polyanthus should be in every establish-
ment where plants and flowers are grown
for retail trade. They are all of easy
culture: don't require a Rose house tem-
perature and will, at least the first
named, flower all Winter. The Polyan-
thus Primrose, grown in a cold house, is
a favorite with almost everybody and as
yet not nearly enough appreciated as an
Easter plant for made up pans. If you
never sell an obconica, it will still pay
to grow this splendid Primula. It is a
mass of bloom for months; nothing finer
for the show house, but you can always
sell them besides making good use of the
cut flowers. The same is true of mala-
coides which, as a cut flower, is of par-
ticular value to the retail grower. Every-
body likes it. A well grown Chinese
Primula makes an ideal, inexpensive midj
Winter flowering plant and at a pinch,
the out-of-town florist will find the old
plants useful as cut flowers in desigii
work, especially when other flowers are1
scarce. Stock up now with small plants:
and prepare a good batch for the comin
Winter season.

Late Chrysanthemums

It is too late to talk about early o
mid-season 'Mums, but not too late to re
mind you about the ones which are to
■flower for Thanksgiving and away into'
December. In order to have flowers at
that time, you have to plant late varie-
ties and they can still be planted If
you can spare a bench or solid bed, it will
pay you to do so. The florist who grows
for retailing has call for Chrysanthe-
mums, especially the smaller flowering va-
rieties all through December and fre-
quently they bring "better " returns than
the early ones. There are a number of
fine varieties to choose, of which, Mr.
Ben is the old standby as a bronze.
Christmas Gold, the well known yellow,
and Godfrey, the ideal single pink, es-
pecially for Thanksgiving, and the couple
of weeks following. Besides these, there
are a number of others, both single and
•double, which will flower around the first
of December and later. ' They tan be
planted all through July. It isn't very
likely that you have too many flowers to
cut during December and if you have the
room, by all means plant enough late
'Mums and among the single stemmed,
large flowering sort, don't overlook the
Chadwicks. Late planted stock should
come in just about the last of November
and the flowers are excellent keepers when
cut.

The Value of a Coldframe

I haven't found the retail grower yet
who had too many coldframes, but met
many who didn't have enough of them in
connection with their greenhouses. A
well built coldframe of concrete or 2in.
planks and provided with good sashes, is
fully as valuable as a greenhouse; not
only that, but the florist who hasn't good
frames is badly handicapped. This is an
ideal time to construct frames and make
use of them this Fall. The smaller the
area of greenhouses you have, the more
you are in need of frames outdoors to
carry stock in. When built so as to
keep out a few degrees of frost, you can
carry flats of Narcissi or Roman Hya-
cinths, pots of Freesias or a lot of bed-
ding stock in such frames until the earlv
and mid-season Chrysanthemums are out
of the benches. In fact, there is no end
of use you can put a frame to almost
every month of the year. You can store
stock m during Fall and Winter; use a
frame as a hot bed during Spring and
plant stock in it after that. A well built
frame with enough headroom and wooden
shutters or covers makes a fine place to

Iris pseudacorus used on a margin of a pond on the grounds of the Mas-
sachusetts Agricultural College. See text.

Iris Pseudacorus

One day the jerkwater railroad train
on which I was killing time, stopped with
a thud at a wayside station and as I
looked out of the window, I was aston-
ished to see great masses of Iris heavily
sprinkled with waxy yellow blossoms all
massed in the gutter beside the track. As
the place happened to be near my home,
I drove out the following day and inves-
tigated my find. The truly magnificent
mass was made up of crowded thriving
plants of Iris pseudacorus making them-
selves very much at home. The railroad
men readily gave permission and I later
sent a team and got a wagonload of the
roots. These were planted on our grounds
where they have done extremely well for
Several years. The illustration is evi-
dence of the fact.

Iris pseudacorus makes a strong
growth, usually four to five feet high.

The foliage is distinctly more prominent
than in the common German or Japanese
Irises. The flowers are less conspicuous,
though by no means invisible. They are
rather tender, much like Canna flacida,
and do not last long in sun or wind. Still,
they are admirable for their fine form
and peculiarly clear lemon yellow color.
Bailey's Cyclopedia says that this
species has been naturalized in New
York, Massachusetts and New Jersey,
which would account for my discovery
along the railroad track. The hardiness
and practically indigenous character of
the plant make it available for massing
and for naturalistic effects in swampy
spots or along pond shores.

Frank A. Waugh

[Bailey credits this Iris a native of
the Barberry States, but Johnson gives it
as native to Britain We have seen it in
abundance in the English ditches. — Ed.]

overwinter hardy stock or tender peren-
nials. Why not build a few more now?

Calceolarias

Time for Sowing

The end of July is a good time to sow
Calceolaria seed; a later sowing may be
made in September, but the first sown
will give you the largest plants. Few
other plants you grow from seed will make
a more gorgeous display than a batch
of Calceolarias around Easter and it is
for that reason they are so desirable for
the retail grower. Like the Cineraria,
they are cold house plants and must al-
ways be kept free from insect pests, of
which the green fly is the most trouble-
some. Keep them clean and cool in a
well drained soil and a little on the moist
side, and they will do nicely, even when
carried in a none too uptodate house. If
there is any one time when they need
special attention it is during August and
September when you should give them a
well ventilated house; keep cool as pos-
sible and just a little shaded. They don't
make much growth until Fall, but from
October on they should be given plenty
of space for proper development. The
seeds of Calceolarias are very small, there-
fore have a finely sifted surface to sow
on. Gently press the seeds into it and
don't cover with soil. Place glass over
the seed pan and plenty of shade until
germination takes place. Always use
plenty of sand in the soil when potting
off; they like it.

Table Ferns

Get a Batch Under Way

Everyone can grow ferns during the
Summer and Fall months; they don't re-
quire a regular fern house, but will do
well anywhere, as long as you don't neg-
lect the watering and shade the plants
a little. This in particular holds good
with the small table ferns. Even the
smallest growers can work up a good stock
of them in 2%s by securing seedlings
now from the specialist. For those with
lack of proper heating facilities, it is a
hard job to grow ferns successfully dur-
ing the Winter months and they find it
cheaper and better to purchase what they
require, but seedlings potted now will
make not only good plants by Fall, but
these plants, if carried even as low as 50
degs. will remain in good condition up to
Christmas. Your patrons won't call for
table ferns now, but they will send their
dishes over as soon as the first good
frost finishes the garden flowers. In or-
der to be ready at that time, secure
your first batch of fern seedlings now;
pot up in nice mellow soil, mixed with a
liberal amount of sand and keep the
freshly potted plants well shaded for a
week or so. They require a little shade
up to Fall.

White Fly

The florist, particularly the retail grow-
er, located in the smaller cities and
towns, usually has to fight white fly, and

while this pest can be kept in check
with fumigating and spraying, to destroy
the breeding places which, after all, ia
most important, is usually overlooked If
there are white fly at all in your houses,
they will most likely make headquarters
on the stock plants of Pelargoniums,
Fuchsias, Ageratums, Salvias, Heliotrope
or Geraniums. White fly will attack any
of these, but are more fond of stock not
in the best growing condition. To have
odds and ends standing about the houses
at this time of the year, means to breed
the pest faster than any spraying can
destroy. You are money ahead to either
throw neglected stock away or get it out-
doors. Those who have a house full of
stock plants which are planted out and
regularly fumigated and sprayed, don't
need to fear, but you will always have it
with you as long as a few old stock
plants are kept in a corner over Sum-
mer. Clean up, throw out, get rid of
infected plants whenever possible. Does
it nay to carry a couple dozen old
Fuchsias along when you can buy clean,
healthy rooted cuttings at a reasonable
price later on? This holds good with
other plants. To get rid of white fly
is important enough; to get rid of the
plants which have the pest is more so, at
least in the case the smaller grower. Right
now is the time to do it and start out
clean this Fall.

Filling Odd Bench Space

In my house, heated to 55 deg., I will
have two benches of Carnations, and one
of Snapdragon. The fourth bench will
be one-third filled with Asparagus. What
can I use the remainder of the bench
for? I want something that will pro-
duce flowers and not grow tall enough to
shade the Carnations. In the Spring I
want the space for pot plants. — D. F. H.,
Pa.

— But for the fact that you will be
running the temperature at 55 deg., you
might handle one or several of the catch
crops like Calendula, Forgetmenots, Pan-
sies, Mignonette, etc. The Blue Lace
Flower raised in small pots and planted
out without root disturbance would not
grow too tall. You could also plant Free-
sias, dwarf Gladioli, Paperwhite and
other bunch flowered Narcissus and clear
them before the bench is required for
pots.

Poinsettia Cuttings

A. K. 0. — You should have no difficulty
in rooting the cuttings if the sand is
fresh and clean as you say. The damp-
ing off is probably due to the fact that
you are taking your cuttings without a
heel. Straight cuttings in hot weather
are far more difficult to root than those
with a heel. Select short jointed cut-
tings, rubbing or putting them off with
a heel. Dip in charcoal dust before in-
serting in the sand. Use a little fine char-
coal and coarse sand as a rooting medium.
Fine coal ashes are also a good substitute
for sand; perhaps better. An ordinary
bench is generally used, but you can use
small pots if you need no great quantity.
Shade fully until rooted and sprinkle
daily. Don't forget to cut back the leaves
half way if you use the bench; it is not
so essential when pots are used as they
have more room and air between them.

Delphinium Disease

S. C. J., N. Y.

— Little or nothing is known regarding
the blight or rot affecting Delphinium.
It is probably akin to that attacking
Peonies. Investigations are being made
at Washington and Ithaca, but no reports
are yet available. Avoid fresh manure
when planting; use lime freely. A little
iron sulphate or sulphur in the ground
may prove of value; or bordeaux mixture
as a spray may keep the foliage healthy.
The ordinary mildew of Delphiniums is
the result of dryness most times.

Montreal, Que.

The coming convention of the Canadian
Gardeners and Florists Association to
be held at the Windsor Hotel, Montreal,
Aug. 8, and following days is the talk
of the day. A meeting of all the com-
mittees, having charge of events, recently
met at the store of Messrs. Hall and Rob-
insons. Ernest Hayward and his col-
leagues have mapped out a program of
events so that all will have a good time.
The entertainment committee has something
in store for those who favor the conven-
tion by their presence. Our American
florists' friends will have a royal wel-
come. The Montreal florists are having
an at home we'ek during the convention,
taking their vacations before or after
convention week. A new feature on the
opening night is an informal dance, and a
get-to-know each other at the plan. So
be sure and get in line; we are planning
a good time for all. This is the twenty-
fifth convention.

The Montreal Gardeners have lost one
of their old friends, John Pidduck, a
past president of the M. G. & F. Co.
He was a man respected by many. For
many years he was a gardener at Mount
Royal Park. A large gathering of flo-
rist and gardener friends attended the
funeral. President Dan McDonald, who
was on his vacation returned especially
to attend. Beautiful floral tributes were
sent by friends, the club sending a flo-
ral wreath. Mount Royal.

The William L. Rock Float

which won first place in the floral parade
recently held in Kansas City as a part
of Park and Plan Week, was decorated
in a color scheme of pink and lavender,
fresh flowers alone being used. Potted
Hydrangeas were a feature and Gypsoph-
ila and greens formed the background of
the body of the car The automobile was
first burlapped; chicken wire was placed
on the burlap and flowers were worked
through this wire. •

Two standards to which were tied pink
and lavender chiffon streamers were
placed on the hood of the car. The pot
plants stood in the wall pockets of the
automobile, while on both running boards,
as well as in the front and back parts of
the ear were boxes of purple Petunias. A
firie Pllcenix Rcebelini stood in the center
while a basket of Gladioli had a place on
the rear end of the car. The spare wheel
as well as the other four wheels, were
completely covered with greens and with
flowers.

A sterling silver
vase was the prize
awarded this fine
piece of work.

Two floats were
made by W. J. Barnes.
The Cosmopolitan Club
float (illustrated)
was distinguished by
six 6ft. baskets of
flowers. The car was
covered with green
Oak foliage inter-
spersed with Dorothy
Perkins sprays and
pink chiffon bows. The
other was the W. J.
Barnes, Florist, car.
A flight of doves driv-
en by a fairy over
a bed of ferns and
blooming plants set in
a frame over the
car. Large quantities
of Dorothy Perkins
sprays and green
foliage, over a; back-
ground of preserved
russet Oak, with two
6ft. vases of Gladi-
olus, Larkspur and
Lamarix with tall
Areca palms, com-
pleted the float.

Some Attractive Color Combinations

In Trees and Shrubs that Flower in July
By SAMUEL NEWMAN BAXTER

PERHAPS our title is inappropriate so far as trees
are concerned, for we can offer but two that
bloom in July about Philadel-
phia. But they are two good ones,
namely, the Sorrel Tree (Oxyden-
dron arboreum), a native of the
South, and the Varnish or Lacquer
Tree (Kcelreuteria paniculata) ,
which comes to us from China.

The Distinctive Vatnish Tree

The latter we like to use as a
single specimen on the lawn or,
if space permits, in a group of
three, where its large, upright
golden panicles, rising charmingly
above the lacy pinnate foliage,
greet us about Independence Day.
The bladderlike seed pods which
follow are also not without inter-
est. The tree seldom develops a
well defined leader, being rather
crooked and spreading in limpid
fashion. It is, therefore, right at
home where formality is avoided.
We have never seen a tall speci-
men, though we recall an old one
at the Haines Nurseries. Chelten-
ham, Pa., of which the trunk is
possibly 2ft. in diameter.

We would also suggest it for
the edge of a woodland planta-
tion where, if used in sufficient
quantities, it would provide a
streak of golden bloom in July
equally as attractive as that of
the Golden Bell in April. In the
background of shrubbery borders

it is also appropriate or adjoining the Pagoda Tree
(Sophora japonica), which follows it in bloom, and
which we will consider in our notes for next month.

The Aristocratic Soirel Tree

The Sorrel Tree we like to consider an aristocrat
of the native landscape planting. There can be no
objection to using it as a lawn specimen, when it
seems at first more like a shrub with its shining

Landscape Color Combinations in Evergreens

Mr. Baxter's accompanying article discusses the July possibilities of flowering trees and shrubs,
shows how pleasant contrasts can be produced even with foliage alone

green leaves which turn crimson in Autumn, but in
July the terminal clusters of white flower spikes —
like those of Andromeda — always seem to show up
better in the companionship of the native Viburnums
and Cornus or in a Rhododendron background (R.
maximum blooms about the same time). It thrives in
shade and prefers moist locations. Seed, layers or
Southern collectors afford ready means of obtaining
a stock of this most desirable native plant.

A Missing Jewel in Modern
Gardens

Perhaps we should also call at-
tention to a small tree with which
we were familiar a few years ago
but which seems to have disap-
peared from nursery catalogs, at
least in this vicinity. This is
Maackia ainiirense, which comes
from eastern Siberia, and is al-
lied to the Cladrastis, under
which genus it is often classed.
Unlike it. however, it bears its
white spikes upright, not in hang-
ing racemes. It forms a small
tree, has attractive pinnate foli-
age and is especially worthy be-
cause the bloom appears in July
when there are but few trees in
flower. We would not consider it
desirable as a single specimen,
but suggest massing it with such
plants as the False Indigo (Amor-
pha frutieosa), whose flower pan-
icles of dark purple preceded it
in June and whose pinnate foli-
age harmonizes with it nicely.
A Useful Dwarf Horse Chestnut

A dwarf tree, or stock shrub,
whose blossoms vie with those of
the Varnish Tree for supremacy
as a floral attraction in early
July, is JEsculus parvifolia or
Pavia maerostachya, the dwarf

American Association of Nurserymen Convention, Detroit, Mich., June 29, 1922

B. Standard Rules for Growing and Grading

1. Measurements in height and diameter to be
stated in inches up to 24in. ; all over 24in. to be
stated in feet. Examples, 12in. to ISin. ; ISin. to
24in. ; either the dash ( — ) or the word "to" may be
used between figures ; where a size includes feet only,
the measurement should be stated in feet; example
l-2ft.

2. Caliper. Trees only are to be calipered, and there
is no objection to calipering any size; it is recom-
mended, however, that calipering be uniform in
method and sizes of fruit trees and ornamentals, as
given below.

3. Clumps are undivided herbaceous perennials,
shrubs and sonletimes trees, with several of many
stems, or in herbaceous perennials, with several buds
or crowns.

4. Transplanted. It is usually very important to
indicate when stock was last transplanted, as follows :
tr. 1 yr., tr. 2 yr. etc.

5. Averaging, sizes. In digging and shipping, all
stock should be graded so as to maintain an average
of values in sizes or otherwise; 100 plants 12iu. to
ISin. should include enough larger sizes to make the
average 15in. ; l-2ft. should average ISin. ; the same
rule applies in calipering.

6. Balling and burlaping (B & B). Where it is in-
tended to ball and burlap, this fact should always be
given by using the abbreviation "B & B" in a suitable
position.

7. Specimens. (Spec.) This may be stated to indi-
cate unusually well shaped trees or plants ; but does

not relieve of the necessity of giving other standard
information as noted in preceding paragraphs.

8. Seedling (S.) Cuttings (Cut.) and Divisions
(Div.t State age in years, followed by abbreviation
for propagation method ; examples, Berberis Thun-
bergii. 1 yr., S. 6-9in. ; Thuja occidentalis, Cut. ; Anem-
one japonica, 2 yr. Div.

9. Quality or grade. Unless otherwise stated, all
stock offered, advertised or cataloged is understood
to be of first-class, salable and plantable quality of
each kind and grade. Heavier grades state as fol-
lows x — heavy; xx — very heavy; xxx — very heavy
perfect specimens. Light grade suitable only for lin-
ing out or growing on, state as follows : lg. — Light
grade.

10. Abbreviations. Standard abbreviations of terms
may be used as desired.

12-loin., etc. Some stock may best be graded in 6in.
series; example, Ligustrum ovalifolium, 12-lSin., over
ISin. give in half feet up to 3ft., then by single feet
up to 6ft., then in double feet, example, S-10. Diam-
eter state in feet when desirable. Clumps indicate 8

Some Attractive Color Combinations

(Continued from page 207)

Horse Chestnut of the South. For a
shrub or small tree of horizontal lines
(it grows from 3ft. to Sft. in height, but
is usually twice this in spread) it is de-
sirable .for massing or in the foreground
of tall shrubs. Single plants or clusters

of three each (for bushiness) arranged
in formal pairs along a walk or drive
are effective when one does not wish
plants that would grow tall enough to,
and perhaps, obscure a desirable view.
But they should be planted well back
from the edge of the walk to allow for
their spread. The white flower spikes,
about 12in. long, are quite showy as
they stand erect well above the foliage.

In July blooming shrubs we have a
larger variety, but before commenting
on those which begin to bloom this
month, it may be well to note the "hold
overs" already referred to in our notes
for June. These are Hydrangea horten-
sia, H. paniculata (early flowering), H.
quercifoUa and H. arborescens. Also the
native Rhododendron maximum, Rubtts
odoratus and Rosa setigera.

The Varied and Useful Hibiscus; F T

Our choice among the more common
shrubs, and one Which continues to
bloom until September, is the Rose of
Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus in variety).
It asks no favors, will grow in all kinds
of soil and stands all abuse in city or
country, yet brightens the hot Summer
days with its Hollyhock-like single and
double flowers in various colors. As a
flowering hedge plant or alternated with
Lombardy Poplars in a screen it is good ;
massed in the background of the shrub-
bery border it gives color in July and
August ; and plants trained as standards
may be used in. formal positions. Al-
though the writer prefers the solid pink,
blue and white in the single form, the
double sorts are favorites and are avail-
able in pink, red, blue, white and crim-
son eyed. The variegated leaved sort is
also popular with the public, if not with
the critical landscape men, who shun
it as a freak. H. variegata does not
open its flowers but H. Meehani, the
improved form, has pretty single pink
flowers. Those who find a market for
Golden Privet should try the latter Hi-
biscus, keeping it cut back (after flower-
ing) for compactness. Besides having a
substitute for the Globe Privet, they
would also have the flower feature.

Miscellaneous Shrubs for Mixed
Masses g

With Rose of Sharon in the shrub-
bery border we would use the Chaste
Shrub (Vitex Agnus-castus) with its
purple flower spikes and the white va-
riety, also. Its foliage, of light green
or gray, is unexcelled in its pleasing har-
mony with the lavender flowers. The
cut leaved sort ( V. incisa or Negundo )
is even more desirable for its foliage.
The Vitex, too, blooms for several weeks.
The white flowers of the Hornbeam-
leaved Spirtea (S. carpina folia) are ap-
propriate massed in front of Vitex. Also
the pink flowers of S. callosa and for
the extreme foreground, S. callosa alba
although the latter may be considered
a "dirty" white unless the matured blos-
soms are removed, promptly. Also in this
foreground massing could be used the St.
John's Worts (Hypericum densiflorum,
H. aureum and H. patulum). These are
splendid yellow flowering subjects for
uses in front of shrubs, in herbaceous
beds or in the rock garden. H. Moseria-
num blooms earlier and. is a prostrate
grower ; its large Anemone like flowers
are the showiest of all.

For the wild landscape, especially in
low swampy places, the Button Bush
(Cephalanthus occidentalis) now at-
tracts us with its fuzzy flower balls.
With it may be grouped the Sweep Pep-
per (Clethra anifolia), which starts to
bloom late in July, though its fragrant
white flowers deserve a place nearer the
house. The small pink flowers of Galli-
carpa purpurea, now in bloom, may not
be considered showy, but this cannot be
said of the mauve berries which follow
and well justify the common name,
"Beauty Fruit" (derived from the Greek
Callicarpa). Mass it with Snowberry
(Symphoricarpos racemosus) . Referring
to fruits, have you noticed the large clus-
ters of the Mountain Ash (Sorbus),
which are how turning to handsome yel-
low and orange, and which stand out so
conspicuously against the foliage?

Perhaps the daintiest shrub to flower
this month is Abelia grandiflora, called
Arbutus Shrubs, because of its small
shell pink flowers. Its small glossy
leaves — evergreen in the South, we pre-
sume— are appropriate in a broad leaved
evergreen grouping and for porch bed
massing. . The flowers .continue to appear
for eleven weeks, according to our notes,

which, indeed, constitutes a worthy rec-
ord for a shrub.

Some Vines for July Effects

In concluding, we should, perhaps,
touch on a few commendable vines. Be-
gonia radicans, the Trumpet Vine, whose
orange red flowers are much sought these
days by the darting humming birds, will
bloom for six weeks. It will cling to a
stone wall like Ivy and is also an appro-
priate covering for a rustic Summer
house. The Chinese spears, B. grandi-
flora, has larger and yellower flowers,
and is often called superior, although
not as strong a grower. Botanists now
place these in the genus Campsis, though
nursery catalogs adhere to the old Big-
nonia.

Considering the popularity of the
Sweet Clematis (C. paniculata), which
blooms later, it's a wonder that one does
not see its earlier flowering counterpart,
C. Flammula (which is now in bloom),
used more extensively. Its numerous
small white flowers would go well with
the Trumpet Vine on the Summer house.

Valuable as are the Japanese Honey-
suckles, why do we not see more of the
Trumpet Honeysuckles (Lonicera sem-
pervwens) planted? The long scarlet
flowers, appearing for two months, are
now most handsome with their back-
ground of large dark green foliage. L.
Heckrotti, with coral flowers, is another
desirable companion now in bloom,
though' it shows less tendency to climb.
The use of these sorts would be a wise
and justifiable departure from the com-
mon practice of planting the rampant
Japanese varieties on slopes.

French Nursery Notes

After judging at Bagatelle Gardens,
Chas. H. Pearson of the Horticultural
Advertiser with several others, visited
Orleans to see what the French special-
ists were doing.

At Barbier & Co.'s, it was found that
Gooseberries were being grafted on Ribes
aureum, surely a new idea. Owing to
the scarcity of wood for cuttings last
year, due to the abnormal drought, the
Gooseberry wood was cut up closely and
grafted on the Ribes. Among the new
Roses, Henri Coupe, a pure rose pink
without blue tints, was a feature. It is
of _ good shape, and well perfumed, but
being a H. P. — there is practically no
sale in England for H. Ps. — it is not
likely to win great renown there.

A new Wichuraiana, Jacotte, caused
much excitement ; it has exquisite buds
and is a lovely mixture of apricot and
salmon tints. At the Bagatelle Gardens,
this variety was an utter failure, owing
to the conditions there. But for the
visit to Orleans, the beauty of this new
climber would not have been realized.
Albertine, a soft fawn, is another good
Wichuraiana.

An improved form of Ribes aureum
was seen ; much stronger than the type
and tall stems were being used for stand-
ard Gooseberries, etc.

Glowworm is a single Rose with a
marvellous orange red color, but ex-
tremely thorny. Bblouissante is a won-
derfully bright Polyautha, almost pure
scarlet. These two were seen at Turbat
& Co.'s nurseries, but a single Rambler
not yet named is the finest thing of its
kind Mr. Pearson has ever seen. He
strongly advises his readers to watch out
for this Turbat & Co. novelty, and, as
Mr. Pearson knows Roses from A to Z
his opinions count for much.

Papa Gouchault, while not perfect in
the open, is said to be easily the best
Polyantha Rose for forcing.

Turbat & Co. have a special strain "of
Delphiniums suitable for cutting; several
of the best have been named.

Quarantine in Australia

Judging by the Australian Nurseryman
& Seedsman, the Commonwealth has a
total prohibition against all plants, but
with most things, a permit is usually ob-
tainable. Fruit trees and seeds of fruiC
are strictly taboo and one gets the idea
that the United States is specially dis-
criminated against as it is the only coun-
try mentioned in the order outside of New
Zealand. Pear blight, Peach yellows arid
a few other American native diseases have
seemingly disturbed Australia consider-
ably. We note that there is no hope for
Luther Burbank's spineless Cactus, as
the order under notice bars out all mem-
bers of the Cactus family.

C. Standard Disclaimer or Warranty
Clauses

A clear understanding of contract be-
tween buyer and seller promotes perma-

class of merchandise over which the
seller has less control of results than hor-
ticultural products. Two forms of dis-
claimer have been quite commonly used
and are given below for consideration.
Just what responsibility the seller of
nursery products should assume, both
morally and technically is a subject of
grave importance and must be worked
out. The following are sample warranty
clauses :

1. We give no warranty express or
implied as to description, quality, pro-
ductiveness or any other matter of nur-
sery stock, seeds or plants or bulbs we
sell.

2. If any nursery stock, etc., proves
untrue to description under which it is
sold, seller shall be liable to the pur-
chaser only and to no greater extent or
amount than the purchase price of such
nursery stock, etc., and the seller except
ror the aforesaid agreed liability and in
respect to such purchased nursery stock,
ei?'j gives no warranty express or im-
plied as to description quality, produc-
tiveness, nor any other matter.

The National Association of

Convention is just over at Detroit. Say,
boys, we did have some time. The South

have been more. Our own Paul Lindley
was elected president, and that's saying
enough. Next year the convention will
be held at Chicago, and everyone should
now plan to join and get some of the good
stuff that is being passed along, and also
to show our appreciation of the honor
shown our section. The National Associa-
tion is doing big things, and, believe me,
is going to do bigger ones. You had bet-

The Publishers of THE FLORISTS EXCHANGE

HAVE IN PREPARATION AND WILL ISSUE EARLY IN THE FALL

FRITZ BAHR'S
COMMERCIAL
FLORICULTURE

"A PRACTICAL MANUAL FOR THE RETAIL GROWER"

Surely there is no need to introduce the author to Exchange
readers — he who has made the "Week's Work" the valuable
feature it has been these many years; so we will instead say some-
thing about the book — perhaps the most unique and most valu-
able contribution thus far made to the literature of commercial
horticulture.

I—THE VOLUME ITSELF
Size — Approximately 450 large pages — 6 x 9 in. — with generous mar-
gins: printed in a large, clear type especially selected to make reading
easy as well as enjoyable; large enough to be "good property" and small
enough to be easily held and conveniently handled.

Paper — Heavy, strong, pure white Library text; of highest quality
and giving the best results with both type and illustrations.

Binding — Solid, handsome. leather-grained, waterproofed dark-
green cloth with title in gold; as handsome and appropriate for the library
as it is practicable and durable for the shop, shed or greenhouse. Extra
strong stitching and reinforcing make it ready for the real, continuous use
you will give such a book.

II THE CONTENTS
Text — The first seven chapters — about 200 pages in all — deal with
the field, the problems, the opportunities and the responsibilities of the
business, under the following headings:

Chapter 1 — The Retail Grower and His Business.

Chapter 2 — Indoors and Outdoors all the Year 'Round.

Chapter 3 — The Equipment of the Retail Grower.

Chapter 4 — Details of the Growing End of the Business.

Chapter 5 — Profitable Side Lines for the Retail Grower.

Chapter 6 — Important Flower Days of the Year.

Chapter 7 — All Kinds of Plant Materials for the Retail Grower.

The remaining 250 pages take up, in alphabetical order — like a cyclo-
pedia— all the types of plant, shrub, tree and vine that the reader is likely
to handle, whether he grows them all or not. Whether it is best to try to
grow them; and if so, how; what they are best suited for; how to make the
most of them; which varieties to use and which to avoid — these and all
the other things that every man ought to know, but that so few men do
know, are discussed by Fritz Bahr in his inimitable, unmistakable, con-
vincing, encouraging style.

More than one fellow florist has called him a genius — which he cer-
tainly is, if for no other reason than that he is a philosopher who can make
his philosophy clear and practical for others; whose philosophy is based
not on what he thinks, merely, but on what he knows as a result of nearly
half a century's successful experience.

Illustrations — More than 270 fine halftones made from photo-
graphs carefully selected — and in some cases especially taken — for this
work. Picturing every phase of all sides of the business andrthe great
majority of its materials in the way they ought to be grown. This remark-
able feature includes a helpful, illuminating typical Fritz Bahr caption
for every illustration.

In brief, Fritz Bahr's Commercial Floriculture is the

kind of a book that it takes a lot of time, a lot of money, a lot
of work and a lot of experience to make. But when it's made
— well, then you have something. And yet, notice, now,

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLCATHERER

Home Grown Tulips

1 lifted my new late Tulips at the
latter end of June, and considering the
circumstances I'm well pleased with re-
suits. Some varieties have made as big
a bulb as any I have ever grown, beside
many small ones. They don't look so
smart as the Holland stock, but it's doubt-
ful whether any soil other than sand will
produce skins as the Holland stock has.

Anyway, I am satisfied that right in
New Jersey late Tulips could be grown
and multiplied if plenty of new ground
was available for shifting around. I
don't, however, labor under the delusion
that we can do without Holland stock,
not in our lifetime. England has been
commercially growing late Tulips for the
past 20 years or so, and despite the in-
creased areas can't supply but a fraction
of the trade demand.

I smile when I hear of this or that
or the other grower who is growing bulbs
with success. Sure they can, but how
many ? I guess any one of our big forcers
uses more bulbs than any two growers in
the United States could supply. When
we can talk in millions instead of thou-
sands then the P. H. B. will have reason
for believing we are on the road to self
supply. One factor to take into considera-
tion is the ripening of large quantities
of bulbs after lifting. When it rains day
after day, as it did during June and early
July, the problem of getting up the bulbs
and storing them without quantities of
earth is not easy. I was glad I had only
some 30 varieties in small quantities.
With Tulips one must take them under
cover as lifted; if thev get sunstroke it's
all U. P.
Dicentra Spectabilis

A note caught my eye recently to the
effect that the above plant, or Dielytra,
as it is often called, could be imported
under permit. During 1921, the F. H.
B. refused permits to import, but around
the latter end of March this year, the
board owned up that there was insuffi-
cient stock of this plant to meet current
needs. The official announcement did
not come my way, but I am curious to
know whether the people who were re-
fused permits last year were notified of
the change. I am wondering, too, how
much actual trade has been lost through
the year's hold up.

Improving the Elderberry

A writer in the Rural New Yorker
mentions that for some years he has been
raising and selecting Elderberries. By
cultivation he got trusses yielding as high
as one pint of fruit on a truss. Then he
began raising seedlings and by 1914 he had
trusses carrying iy2 quarts or 5169 ber-
ries. Beside improving the size and quan-
tity of berries, the flavor has also im-
proved; the bitter flavor has almost dis-
appeared, till they now resemble Huckle-
berries. Some of his bushes are yielding
as high as 30 quarts and he figures that
as they could be planted 680 to the acre
and, allowing only 4 quarts to a bush,
2720 quarts, they will be a profitable crop
at 10c. a qt., and, in the third year the
crop would approximate 5000 qts.

Phew! and when you figure that Elder-
berries thrive on wet land and make wine
that will put t<J shame that logwood
port, said to be made in New Jersey. Oh
Boy!
Gypsum

The value of Gypsum (sulphate of
lime) of which plaster of Paris is a
form, is steadily becoming recognized. I
don't just know how long it has been in
use as an aid to good farming, but writ-
ers of 30 years or more ago were apt to
recommend it and doubtless it has formed
a part of some madeup fertilizers for
many years. It differs from ordinary lime
or chalk inasmuch as it unites with am-
monia instead of diffusing it. Lime
mixed with stable or similar manures,
will let loose all the ammonia so that the
nitrogen content is reduced to nothing-
ness. Gypsum can be mixed with manure
and render good service by locking up the
ammonia besides adding sulphur which is
an important asset to many plants, es-
pecially legumes and the brassicas. Prof.
Geo. A. Olsen, speaking at Boston recent-
ly, urged seedsmen to stock Gypsum.

The Florists' Exchange

Used for dusting around poultry sheds or
stables, it collects and holds the ammonia
which might otherwise evaporate, mak-
ing the atmosphere more healthy for the
birds or animals. Applied to soils it has
a good mechanical effect especially on
heavy land. It releases potash and
makes it available for plants while it
counteracts poisonous conditions present
in the magnesium of soils. Magnesium is
essential to many plants, Roses, particu-
larly, but it has poisonous qualities also,
which gypsum counteracts. Further, gyp-
sum aids nitrification in the soil like lime
and so permits plants to have a full sup-
ply. It is specially valuable for legumes
as it enables them to collect more nitrogen
which is better than applying it..

Idealism or Chicanery

Empty, pardon, M. T. Nutt in the Na-
tional Nurseryman asks how much do the
florists care whether Qu. 37 stands or
falls. That's a question not easily
answered, but I dare venture to say
there are more florists readers of The
Exchange who want to see modification
of the quarantine than there are readers
of the N. N. who desire it to remain as
it is.

Of course, M. T. Nutt, like the N. N,
doesn't care whether the quarantine is
legal or not; all that matters is being
able to have the business. Perhaps the
Bishop of London had Qu. 37 and the N.
N. in mind when he declared that America
is a land of ideals and chicanery, or
words to that effect. Seemingly, the N.
N. policy is on the lines of the old song,
"If you don't do them they'll do you."

M. T. Nutt mentions that some nur-
serymen would like the F. N. B. to let
in Norway Maples, 6ft. to 8ft.; there are
none in the country and it will take
some years to grow seedlings. It would
bridge over a serious period if these trees
were permitted for the next two years.
But what about the bugs and diseases?
Isn't it a lovely idea? European grow-
ers are not credited with any backbone;
they're just dying to help out with Nor-
way Maples, Beech, etc., for the next two
years; they've been growing them since
the war for that purpose.

I reckon I know a few European nur-
serymen who would tell M. T. Nutt to
try again with another proposition.

What About Seeds ?

According to reports, the revised tar-
iff bill will offset seeds to some extent
and we are told that some seed growers
have been to Washington with a view
to putting a heavy tariff on flower seeds
so as to help the home industry.

I suppose this means that while foreign
flower seeds, be they ever so superior, are
not desired, but? I take it there will be
a terrible outcry if Europe turns round
and says all right, keep your own seed!
California growers have been at great
pains to tell us of the enormous areas
of flower and vegetable seeds grown in
that delectable climate, and it has been
made clear that the domestic demand does
not absorb the crops. He would be a
bold man who would declare that the rest
of the world is dependent largely upon
American seeds, vegetable and flower.
Certainly some of the strains grown in
America are as good as any; in the case
of Asters, I think better, but of some
others, well, I can't imagine any European
firm of repute sending up a wail if,
through retaliation, American seeds were
unobtainable. On the other hand, some
people here would feel the pinch if high
tariffs forced foreign seed out of reach.
Not all foreign seed is cheap, not by a long
chalk. There's one class of foreign flower
seed I buy which costs 25 per cent, to
50 per cent, more than the said to be
finest American stock, but then it gives
90 per cent, against ten per cent, when
quality is concerned.

Shaded Gardens

Many visitors to my little garden re-
mark on the fact that my Pansies seem
to be always in bloom, and imagine that
I have some special method of culture,
because their own, after a brief spell, do
nothing but grow. In most cases shade
is the actual cause of shy blooming of
many plants.

Some people have a mania for big trees
close around their houses, and then ex-
pect their lawns and flowers to flourish
as do those that are more exposed. Gen-
erally speaking, there are few flowers of
any real account that will bloom freely
unless they get at least five or six hours'
sunshine.

New Orleans, La.

The Market

July 15. — The Summer business
seems to be holding up as well as could
be expected for this time of the year.
Prices are on a steady basis and will
probably continue about the same for
some time to come.

There are not so many flowers on the
local market; fortunately the homegrown
varieties come in slowly. The demand,
it appears, is still a little less than the
supply and the biggest loss, when there is
any is with the nurserymen, for the flo-
rists have reduced their stock almost to
the minimum.

Not many flowers are being ordered
from out of town, the hot weather caus-
ing them to arrive in advanced condition,
but some must necessarily be carried in
stock, particularly Roses, which are kept
on hand in the event of large weddings
when the home grown variety would not
do. The entire. Carnation supply is ship-
ped in from Chicago principally, as none
of these blooms are carried locally. Peon-
ies, such as there are, are also all se-
cured from the North, the local supply
being entirely over.

The homegrown Roses, nearly all Radi-
ance, are bringing from 2c. to 3c. apiece;
Peonies are quoted at from 5c. to 6c. each
and are not carried by a large number
of houses, being small and poor in qual-
ity. Gladioli are all locally raised and
bring from 6c. to 8c. in the better grades.
These, however, are nearly over, but are
still quite in demand. Tuberoses are sell-
ing for 3c. and are in pretty good condi-
tion. A number are being received from
Texas and although not as good in qual-
ity as the homegrown variety, they sell
for a lower price. Dahlias are coming in
now but do not seem to keep well. There
are some beautiful dark red and vellow
ones on the market. The Texas Blue Bells
are coming in strongly and are used for
a variety of purposes, but most exten-
sively for decorative.

News Notes

A visit to the little flower shop of
M. Cook Sons, located just off Canal st.,
on Carondelet, revealed the fact that
these florists are having much success with
the various garden flowers which they
raise in their own nursery. Zinnias, they
say, and they have some fine large speci-
mens on display, are proving a selling flow-
er with them and although the demand
is not large it is remarkable to note that
they sell at all during this period of the
year. These, together with Tuberoses
and Gladioli, are proving to be their best
sellers. Some bunches of Daisies were also
noted. Phlox and Swainsonia are also
coming in for their share of notice in this
little shop. Buddleia, or Summer Lilac,
when intermingled with Tuberoses, forms
one of the prettiest combinations possible,
and these they use extensively in funeral
work.

The Flower Shop, located near Canal
at University Place, is a pleasant little
place to drop into on a warm afternoon.
Henry Scheuermann, one of the owners,
has installed a Victrola somewhere in the
upper regions and the cheery strains of
Love's Old Sweet Song or Pick Me Up
and Lay Me Down in Dixie do much to
enliven the visits of the many customers
of the establishment.

U. J. Virgin has made another departure
for the Gulf breezes at Biloxi, Miss., where
he expects to mingle with the waves and
eat soft shell crabs " to his heart's con-
tent, returning to the city on Wednesday.
This store had one of the biggest Carna-
tion stocks seen anywhere in the city.

A number of florists from New Orleans
are planning to attend the convention of
the American Florists and Horticultur-
ists to be held in Kansas City, Mo., on
Aug. 18. Those who have signified their
intention of attending so far include:
Henry Scheuermann, E. A. Farley, P. A.
Chopin, H. Papworth and C. W. Eichling.
A number of others will, no doubt, be in
the party on the day of departure.

Florists' Outing Big Success

The New Orleans Horticultural So-
ciety turned its regular monthly meeting
into an all day outing and the sultry
Summer sun on Thursday last looked down
upon one of the merriest groups of bene-
dicts and bachelors to be found anywhere
in its orbit, not even excepting the North
Pole where the Summer breezes must
feel delightfully cool at this time of the
year. The weather for the most part was

delightful with only one little shower at
noon which failed miserably in its attempt
to dampen the "spirits" of the party,
which, it is understood, were kept under
lock and key during the entire shower.

Oscar Carlson's pavilion at Little
Woods was selected as the background
for this elaborate floral setting, which was
gathered together in celebration of the
thirty-seventh anniversary of the organi-
zation. The trip was made to the woods
by automobile and luncheon was served as
soon as the party arrived, while the cele-
bration was terminated by a dinner, which
goes to prove that whatever else florists
may do or don't do, they certainly are
good eaters. To enliven the afternoon
and further add to the enjoyment of the
outing, a real jazz band caused synco-
pating notes to float cheerfully over the
collected assemblage and out over the
lake to tickle the ears of those who had
fearlessly ventured in bathing. This
meant a dancing party was in order, and
to supply the lack of the opposite sex,
some worthy guests volunteered to act in
their places and forthwith tied a hand-
kerchief around their arms as a sign that
they would like to be asked to dance.

Among the guests were members of the
United States Entomological Bureau.
Thos. Catchings, Luther Brown and Her-
bert L. Dozier, government agents who
are stationed in this section to study the
existing biological conditions, were also
present.

C. W. Eichling, president of the Ave-
nue Flora] Co., and chief executive of
the Horticultural Society, led the party.
Several of those present spent the greater
part of the day fishing, but as this. delicacy
was not served for supper, it was rather
difficult to tell how many they caught. A
number of games were entered into by dif-
ferent groups and it is understood that
Chas. Eble was initiated into the intrica-
cies of one which until that time he had
never participated in.

The committee in charge of the celebra-
tion included Richard Steckler, chairman;
Henry Scheuermann, E. A. Farley, Harry
Papworth and Paul Abele.

Death to the Ant!

"Eradicate the ant" is the battle
cry throughout New Orleans of those who
are interested in the campaign to com-
plete the work of ridding the city of the
Argentine ant. A highly successful cam-
paign was conducted last year for this
purpose and great good resulted from it,
but on account of the drive not starting
until October, lack of time prevented the
completion of the work.

About 35 civic and commercial organi-
zations are cooperating in perfect har-
mony toward raising the necessary funds
and completing the organization for the
campaign. Only about $40,000, $12 per
square of the affected area is required to
complete the work. Funds for the drive
will be accepted until August 15 and all
actual eradication work will be completed
by Nov. 1.

In checking over results the following
improvements are noted from last year's
campaign: The city is reaping one of
the biggest and best Fig crops in years
right now; flowers, shrubbery and trees
that in years gone by. struggled for a
bare existence are flourishing this year;
the camphor scale, which threatened ex-
tinction of the city's beautiful trees and
shrubbery, and against which Federal and
State entomologists were able to make but
little headway because of the ants, is un-
der control and being eradicated; homes
that in Summer heretofore have been
overrun with ants are this year free of
-them -completely. C. J. M.

Rhinebeck, N. Y.

The annual meeting of the Rhinebeck
Violet Growers Mutual Association was
held Saturday evening, July 8. There
were but six of the remaining nineteen
members present at the meeting and after
discussion and the resignation of the sec-
retary, Frank Asher, it was decided to ad-
journ the meeting to Saturday, Aug. 5,
when an attempt will be made to reor-
ganize this nearly defunct organization.
With the present delicate coal situation,
there is a great need for the Rhinebeck
growersi to cooperate closely, and much
good could be done if the men would
take an unselfish attitude in an organi-
zation of this kind.

General reports of the plantings of
Violets are satisfactory, but of course, it
is entirely too early to attempt any fore-
cast of Winter crops. Several of the
growers have discontinued this year either
entirely or in part, but there has been a
little rebuilding.

Ethan Coon is busy now erecting a
house for his foreman. The progressive-
ness of Mr. Coon in erecting a large "Say
it with Violets" billboard in which he
features Rhinebeck as the home of the
double Violet, has helped a lot to intro-
duce Rhinebeck to the motoring thousands.
While we are discussing Mr. Coon's pro-
gressiveness, it is worthy to note the
exceptionally fine manner in which the
grounds about his greenhouses are kept.
Cannas are Mr. Coon's hobby and large
beds of them look well on the green lawns.

Mrs. Ruth Tremper Wilbur, who is de-
veloping quite a retail trade in Violets,
is enlarging her plant this year by the
leasing of the two houses formerly man-
aged by William Riley.

The houses of J. von der Linden are
well ahead with work; he has a fine field
of Carnation plants ready to house.

F. R. Gilman, the Sweet Pea specialist,
is getting his houses in shape for next
year and recently has been enlarging his
boiler. By constant attention to water-
ing he has kept his Carnation house in
full bloom and the quality of the flowers
is exceptionally good for this season of
the year. At this writing, he is enjoy-
ing a tour through eastern Canada.

Your correspondent recently journeyed
to Red Hook to inspect a branch nursery
of Heberling of Rochester. Here J. L.
Houghton is in charge and with two hun-
dred thousand fruit stocks planted, the
work is indeed well under way. The
farm seems to be ideal for nursery pur-
poses and they are looking forward to a
bright future. This is the first real fruit
nursery to establish itself in the Hudson
Valley fruit section.

The nursery of the Rhinebeck Fl°ral
Co., which is devoted exclusively to or-
namentals, is getting well under way, al-
though but half of the land is under ouIt
tivation. This firm makes it a point to
increase their area a little each year.
This Summer it was a new Violet house
25x125.

Ye scribe lately journeyed about a num-
ber of private estates for which this sec-
tion is famous, and while most of the
gardens were looking fairly well, not one
of the gardeners but were kicking about
the lack of help. Many of these wealthy
owners are in Europe this year and they
try to make their country place run as
cheaply as possible with sorrowful re-
sults to the gardens which always feel
the pinch first.

This being vacation time the thought
comes to me that many men in the trade
will be coming through Rhinebeck this
Summer en route to the North Woods and
I know they will find it worth while to
stop a few minutes and see how the Vio-
lets are grown and to learn of our prob-
lems

All of which brings to my mind that
if any florist wants to see a real fine range
they should stop in at Kingston and go
over the Burgevin plant. Here the rule
of "Jack of all trades and master of none"
certainly does not apply for although they
are specialists in nothing they certainly
do grow everything to perfection. And
the trade they do! ! ! The 27 green-
houses couldn't grow enough for funeral,
work for last week. Summer dullness?
Not there. Vincent Beekjjian.

New York to Kansas City

The Transportation Committee of the New York
Florists Club has mailed out a final call for reserva-
tions in connection with the club's 12-day Tour de
Luxe to Kansas City and return, taking in the Con-
vention at Kansas City, Aug. 15, 16 and 17.

Possibly a number of the local trade are waiting
until the inevitable last moment for advising the
committee of their intention to travel over the pre-
scribed route. However, a trip of the kind planned,
because of the multitudinous detail work connected
with it, does not permit extremely late reservations.
Therefore, if desirable accommodations are wanted,
no further time should be lost in getting word to
Paul Rigo, Chairman, Transportation Committee, 35
West lSth St., New York. Act quickly if you wish to
avoid disappointment.

The Ladies' Society of American Florists

A dandy leaflet is being circulated among the mem-
bers of the L. S. A. F., telling them all about the at-
tractions which Kansas City holds out for them on
their arrival there. We don't doubt but that any
lady connected with the florist business who wishes
to be present at Kansas City, Aug. 15 to 17, will be
gladly welcomed by this society, which has a member-
ship of nearly 400, and is without doubt the largest
exclusively ladies' society in the world, whose mem-
bers are closely connected with floriculture. The ap-
plication dues are but $.3 and the annual dues light ;
these constitute no obstacle to joining up. The pleas-
ure of being a member, of attendance at the meet-
ings, and participation in the good times which the
ladies always have at these annual conventions, is
worth one hundred times more than the cost of mem-
bership. Every wife, grownup daughter, or sweet-
heart of the S. A. F. florist members should become
members. Send your application to Mrs. Albert M.
Herr, secretary. "Cedar Crest," Lancaster, Pa., and
that lady will take good care of every applicant.

Tenth International Flower Show, New York,
March 12 to 17, 1923

The preliminary schedule of prizes is now ready
and copies of same may be had from Secretary John
Young, 43 W. ISth St., New York, by all who have not
yet received it.

It should be noted that the show opens on Monday
and closes Saturday; the usual Sunday has been
eliminated.

The premium list is on the lines of last year; pri-
vate growers have abundant scope with specimens,
plants, groups and cut blooms.

The great open class, 1200ft., will be a feature of
the opening day ; $7500 has been apportioned to this
class, for which five exhibitors only can compete.

The commercial cut flower and pot plant men will
find no lack of opportunity for showing their skill
If you have not received a copy of the schedule, send
for one now, and make yourself familiar with the
classes. The committee, which is made up or mem-
bers of the New York Florists Club and the Horti-
cultural Society of New York, is counting on every
grower to do his best to make this the best show of
the series.

American Horticultural Progress— Who's
For It?

The National Nurseryman appears irritated and
perturbed at our having called attention to the re-
markable sentiments contained in one of its recent
editorials in which it set out to prove, apparently,
that because the F. H. B. had succeeded in getting a
number of persons to express themselves in favor of
Qu. 37. that ruling should stand, no matter how much
it may merit condemnation according to standards of
ethics or justice.

The Nurseryman accuses us of bias in not printing
the entire editorial referred to — but where the bias
comes iu we don't see. Certainly the quoted para-
graphs were complete and needed no setting to make
their meaning clear: surely they were in no way am-
biguous : and. after all. as the head of a publishing
house once wrote to an aspiring authoress who had
accused him of not reading every page of her manus-
cript before rejecting it, "My dear young lady, one
doesn't, you know, have to eat all of an egg in order
to discover that it is bad!"

The Nurscrynuin says that we "took it to task" for
daring to express an opinion contrary to ours. Lord
love ye, we wouldn't think of taking it to task for
anything it might do or fail to do — we have worry
enough over our own erring ways. But we cannot
help be surprised and sorry when the editorial voice
of a big. useful, legitimate industry gives forth proof
of that industry's determination to favor any course
that swells today's profits no matter what its larger,
more general and more enduring effects. Part of this
determination, we are convinced, comes from a failure
to appreciate these effects ; from an inability to see
beyond its own interests to affairs of greater magni-
tude and significance.

The great argument of many who approve Qu. 37 is
that it "benefits American horticulture." What do
they mean by "American horticulture?" Is it not, to
them, merely the American nursery trade, and espe-
cially the growing phase of that trade to the exclu-
sion of all else? And yet, what a lopsided interpreta-
tion that is ! For mark this :

The 14th Census Shows that in 1919 there were in
the United States 4049 nursery establishments, using
51.453 acres, from which the total year's receipts
were $20,434,3S9.

In the same year, says the Census, there were re-
ported 17,199 greenhouse establishments, involving
162,36S.593 sq. ft. or nearly 31.000 acres of glass.
Yes, we grant that part of this was devoted to vege-
table growing, but the receipts from flowers ana flow-
ering plants raised under even a part of that glass
amounted to $61,S92,352, or three times as much as
for all nursery stock sales !

Nor does this take into consideration the value of
flowers raised outdoors; nor the immense investment
in buildings, boilers, irrigation systems, etc., repre-
sented by the florist business ; nor that other tremen-
dous investment in the greenhouses and plant stock
of private, amateur garden owners.

Is the nursery trade, after all, America's horticul-
ture?

*****

Getting away from mere financial arguments, how
about the effect of Qu. 37 on that infinitely larger
aspect of horticulture — the public's love and appre-
ciation of plants. Upon his return to England W. G.
Lobjoit, Great Britain's Controller of Horticulture,
stated that he thinks that "if America does not
modify her attitude it will lead to a general tighten-
ing up of the regulations in all countries. I should
be sorry to see this because it would tend to restrict
each country to its own products by preventing the
free interchange of plants and flowers, and would
mean not, only the hindering of horticultural develop-
ment, tut the deprivation of the stimulus of competi-
tion, with other countries. The ultimate result would
be. I feel sure, as the tendency is in America today,
the forcing of the public into being satisfied with the
commoner sorts of flowers and plants, and the putting
up with higher prices for inferior quality."

Is that tendency benefiting American horticulture?
*****

It has been well said that "any discouragement of
a plant enthusiast is a blow to the nursery business
and the development of gardening [that is, horticul-
ture] in this country." Have amateurs and many
professionals received anything but discouragement
from the F. H. B. during these last three years? And
again, "Any burst of enthusiasm which makes gar-
dens talked about and the nursery business talked
about is in the direction of the spread of the garden-
ing idea * * *" that is, the whole general policy that
every legitimate nursery is designed to further.

It has been claimed that it is un-American and
humiliating to imply that American nurserymen and

growers do not or cannot produce plants as good as
those formerly obtained from foreign countries.
"Why," one might say, "is there any humiliation for
anybody concerned in stating the truth?" Can any-
one deny that there exist abroad hundreds and thou-
sands of plants most desirable and necessary for the
best development of our horticulture here? And if
those plants can be imported under a sane, moderate,
but effective system of inspection and certification,
without in any' way endangering the staple food pro-
ducing industries of the country — as we have been
assured by unquestionable authorities that they can
be — shall it not be said that any man, who, to help line
his own pocket, or any institution, who, to help him
do so, adopts the mistaken policy of obstructing the
importation of beautiful plants, is fundamentally at-
tacking the prosperity and advancement of American
horticulture?

S. A. F. and 0. H. Annual Convention

"The Greatest of Them All"

The program of the big convention meeting of the
S. A. F. and O. H. at Kansas City, Aug. 15 to 17, ap-
pears in this issue. In many respects it is one of the
most important programs we have ever liad the pleas-
ure of printing; particularly is it important with re-
spect to the numerous changes in the Constitution and
By-laws which are outlined therein. These changes
have not been put on the program without due con-
sideration from the board of directors, and each and
every one of them is intended to place the society on
a more stable foundation, to conserve its efforts, to-
give its work still further expression throughout the-
year, and to increase trade interest in all the various
live and conservative lines in which it is now func-
tioning. With all these amendments, The Florists
Exchange is in hearty accord, except one, and we
trust this one will be solved satisfactorily when the
convention is on. Apart from these constitutional
.changes, it is to be noted that an interesting program
has been provided, so that there should be no lack
of attention and attendance from the opening to the
closing session.

The trade in Kansas City, backed by that city's
most efficient Chamber of Commerce, is using every
endeavor to induce a large attendance, and at present
it looks as though the trade of the South and Middle
States will be fully represented. It remains for the
men of the North and the East to be present in full
force, and if this comes about, our thirty-eight annual
meeting will undoubtedly overtop all its predecessors.

It remains now to pray for cool weather during-
these three days. They (which means the people
from that section) tell us we have nothing to fear
from the warm weather. We hope this is so. The
comforting thought remains that the florists as a
body are pretty well inured to heat, and a little more
or less at any time doesn't phase them ; in fact, many
deliberately go in search of it in their vacation days.

These columns have already contained many inter-
esting notes covering Kansas City, and we have much
good material to come, the reading of which should
create a still stronger desire on the part of our flo-
rists to spend their vacation in this most admirably-
progressive city.

Oklahoma State Florists Association

Annual Convention, Tulsa, Okla., July 13, 14

President, A. S. Gray, Chickasha.
Vice-President, Percy Corvax.
Sec.-Treas., Lon Foster, Oklahoma City.

THE Oklahoma State Florists Association met in
Convention Hall, Tulsa. July 13 and 14. Eighty
members registered. The exhibitors were Ove-
Gnatt, of La Porte, Ind. ; Poehlmann Bros., Chicago;
Vaughan's Seed Store, Chicago; Henderson's Seed
Store, Chicago ; Barnard's Seed Store, Chicago ; Amer-
ican Bulb Co., Chicago; M. Levine & Co., New York;
Lion & Co., New York ; Gilson Mfg. Co,, Port Wash-
ington ; The Roseville Pottery, Ohio.

.1. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville. 111., made a stir-
ring address on behalf of the S. A. F. and allied so-
cieties, especially the F. T. D. A temporary F. T. D.
district association was effected, the first. O. 0.
Boston was elected president of such temporary asso-
ciation.

Robt. Bebb, of Muskogee, read a paper on his ex-
perience in growing greenhouse Roses in Oklahoma,
and Eugene Woerz on Carnations. Both papers
brought out much discussion.

A lively discussion came about when a resolution
was offered, pledging the florists of Oklahoma not to
purchase any goods from wholesalers who sold to

department stores. H. G. Berning, of St. Louis, ably
championed the side of the wholesalers.

A. S. Gray was re-elected president ; Percy Corvan,
vice-president: Lon Foster, secretary-treasurer.

The association meets at Enid next year.

President A. S. Gray's Address

I am indeed glad to greet you again after another
year in our loved profession; another year with its
problems, its joys and its sorrows. Two of our mem-
bers. Mrs. Johnston, of Chickasha. and Mrs. Nelson,
of Sulphur, have answered the call to the Great Be-
vond. and their going leaves a gap in our numbers,
and makes us pause for a moment to contemplate the
mvsterv of life.

We meet here today in this wonderful city of Tulsa
to study the problems incident to our profession, to
meet each other face to face and to do all we can
for the advance of our profession. I believe that we
are all fond of the work in which we are engaged.
Working continually among God's most beautiful crea-
tions fellow-workers as it were, with the Great Being
who controls all things, partners, so to speak, in the
creation of the beautiful in floriculture.

More than half a century ago, as a boy, I began
work or was it play, in the greenhouse of an uncle,
and although since then I spent many years in exile
in other business, yet, I was always a worshipper in
God's beautiful gardens.

Proud Connection with S. A. F. and O. H.

When the Oklahoma Association became a member
of the S. A. F. and O. H. your president, as head of
your association, became a director in the parent
body. When that board of directors met at Indian-
apolis, I felt it an honor to meet with them.

If I tried to tell you all of that meeting and of
that wonderful flower show this talk would be too
long.

* * * The board of directors met on the first Mon-
day. March 27, and when I looked over that body of
men. I realized how the show had been produced.
Tou all know their names, but their personality you
cannot realize unless you meet them face to face. I
though surely something was wrong when a little flo-
rist from the "Sooner" State had a seat at that coun-
cil table with the giants of our profession, and I was
glad to see Mr. Muller of Wichita, who represented
Kansas, but I looked and wondered where was Texas,
the Empire State. Fellow members, I felt proud of
you. What was done at that meeting has all been
published in the trade papers, so it is not necessary
for me to tell you.

During the year that has passed I have made sev-
eral trips and have seen more of the florists on the
west side of the State, but, so far, have not got to
the east side. That pleasure is still before me. More
than anything, I like to meet brother florists at their
home places and discuss with them their problems.

With regard to the S. A. F. and O. H. I am an en-
thusiast. I believe that every florist, every foreman,
every partner, in a florist business should be an ac-
tive member of that society. I believe that each flo-
rist in the State should contribute his or her mite to
the publicity campaign to which they are indebted for
so much of their business. I look back over the last
half century and see what an advance there has
been ; what an evolution from the greenhouses of that
time. And from the florist shop of then and now. The
florist's business has grown just as the S. A. F. has
grown. It has made it possible for you and me to
do business to the extent that we do in these Okla-
homa towns. Then let us make it unanimous, every
one a member of the S. A. F. and O. H.

Make Conventions Part of Expenses

Another thing I want to emphasize, make your an-
nual conventions a part of your business expense.
Some time ago I noticed in a paper by Karl Baum
that an item on their expense account was for con-
ventions. Bet your convention expense go right along
with your expense and other bills, the thing that
must be paid. Let us stand by the dignity of our
profession. Let us get an honest price for honest
work. Let us not descend to price cutting and back-
biting our neighbor florist in the effort to get busi-
ness. Stand" pat and do good work and you will find
that the business will come.

We have on our program today some of the prob-
lems that the florist should discuss; I hope we will
have full discussion and that from that discussion,
we may learn something to help us in our daily
business.

In closing, I would say let us stand together, and
by our society to the end that we may make the flo-
rist business one that it is a proud thing to belong
to and of which we may be proud. I trust that we
may meet a year from now without the loss of a
single member, and that we may then be able to tell
each other of the strides in advance that their busi-
ness has made during the year.

Timely Notes on Rose Culture

By EBER HOLMES

A SOUTHERN correspondent asks for specific in-
structions as how to handle a house of Colum-
bia Roses that were planted last May from
2i4in. pots. The weather reports show that occasion-
ally, for brief intervals, some Northern cities are
hotter than places in the South at the same time.

We get days when the thermometers in the houses
stand between 120 deg. and 130 deg. and for a few
nights the mercury may not go below SO deg. Or

A New Gold Medal Rose

Mrs. Joseph H. Welch, winner of the geld medal for the fce=t bloom in
the Ninth Annual Rose Show of Seattle, Wash., held June
28 and 29. 1922.— See text, page 221.

we may get a cold, wet spell in any of the Summer

months, so that although most-- growers get along
without fire heat throughovUv that season, yet many
good growers keep one boiler in use all the time. You
can often make money by burning c'pal in July if you
have a market for all the Roses„yeu can produce, for
a little coal goes a long way in the Summer time. One
large grower who has made more, money growing
Roses in Summer (and in Winter, too) than any
one else I know of, used to turn steam on in his
houses every night when the temperature there
dropped below 70 deg. The great essential under
these conditions is water, and this we will take up
later on.

Extreme changes from the daytime's intense heat
to nights when it is cool enough to condense moisture
on the plants are harmful to Roses under glass, being
likely to cause the spread of mildew and black spot.
Conditions and soils vary so widely that any general
statement needs qualification. To the grower of lim-
ited experience I would say : read and digest care-
fully all you can; make allowances for peculiarities
in your plants, soils, location, or any cause that may
influence your work; watch carefully, and if the re-
sults are satisfactory, continue along the same lines;
if not, find out why, and try to overcome the diffi-
culty.

Treatment of Plants Since Planting

We will assume that planting is finished, that the
soil around the plants was well watered to settle it

down around the roots, and afterwards watered only
as required. Only the soil near the plants should be
wet for the first two weeks or so, but damping down
overhead should be done several times daily on hot
sunny days. Twice weekly the plants should be
syringed well underneath with a sharp spray to
keep down red spider (having previously been tied up
to stakes of grafted stock to prevent its being broken
off). After the first few weeks the whole surface of
the bed is watered twice weekly if we get the usual
Summer weather. Finally, the surface of the soil
should be rubbed over once a week after planting to
keep down the weeds and improve its condition.
Scratch it over lightly with the hands, or use a wire
rake if you are careful to avoid damaging the plants
or their roots.

Principles of Present Day Feeding

We are now past mid July and if the soil is loose
it would be well to press it down firmly with the
hands or with a brick. Do this when it is in a semi-
moist condition, then apply a sprinkling of bone meal
using approximately 100 lbs. to 1200 sq. ft. of bench
surface (one to twelve). Or, instead of bone, you
may use acid phosphate, which costs about half as
much and contains almost as much phosphoric acid.
As it is more soluble than bone it does not last so
long in the soil ; hence it could be used more sparing-
ly but applied more than once in a season. Little and
often is the golden rule for feeding.

After the bone, a good top dressing of horse or cow
manure should be applied. This should be good, but
it may be either partly rotted or fresh. If the latter,
it should be watered in as soon as applied to prevent
its burning the foliage. This manure will cover the
ground one or two inches deep, depending somewhat
on its mechanical condition. It should be heaviest
on the south side of the beds or any other parts show-
ing most need of it. A good allowance of air can be
admitted into the house in Midsummer ; this mini-
mizes the danger of burned foliage from the use of
fresh manure.

Do not make the mistake of allowing the plants to
dry out underneath the manure. If they are growing
vigorously now they will probably need to be watered
twice a week. The essentials for success at this stage
are proper ventilation, feeding, an abundance of wa-
ter, and freedom from insect pests and disease.

Keeping the Ventilation Right

Assuming that you have a fairly well ventilated
modern house, begin by increasing the air as early in
the morning as you can, never allowing the tempera-
ture to rise too quickly. Decrease again as the sun
goes down in the evening. The night man can attend
to a good deal of this in Midsummer, for with Day-
light Saving Time the houses are practically wide
open when the day men leave. Avoid cold draughts
from side ventilators. Some of our best growers never
use any side air, relying altogether on that from the
top. A- good deal depends, however, on the construc-
tion of the house.

If you are near the ocean or any other large body
of water, or on low swampy ground, avoid having
the heavy fogs (which often come up at night in the
Summer time) blow into your houses by closing the
ventilators on the water side and keeping those on
the other side open. [To page 214.]

Peter Clausen

Peter Clausen, of Albert Lea, Minn., well known to
the Chicago trade, passed away on Tuesday last,
July 11, during a visit to California. Mr. Clausen
was born in Denmark on the Island of Langeland,
April 5, 1850, coming to American in 1869. In 1SS4
he started in the greenhouse business at Albert Lea
which, is today, one of the most extensive in the West.
Mr. Clausen was much esteemed by all who knew him,
and the sympathy of the trade in Chicago and else-

The Florists* Exch

I believe that everything else being equal, we can
grow better Hoses in a large than in a smaller house,
the principal reason for this being that the fluctua-
tions of temperature are less in the former. It pays
to give the plants the best and most careful treatment
at all times; if any pest is allowed to get a foothold
it will do a lot of damage in a short time and cost a
good deal more than any time or material needed to
prevent its appearance or establishment. Shade, dirt
and mud puddles are all disease breeders.

During a protracted cold, wet spell, if you have
no fire heat reduce the moisture in the houses at night
all you can by spreading lime on the walks, under the
benches or on the surface of the beds and, lightly,
on the plants. Or get some grape dust and apply over
them with a bellows. Give all the air the house will
stand day and night, even in wet weather. It is al-
ways easier to prevent than it is to cure and August
is a bad month in which to take chances of getting
disease into the house.

A good, cheap spray material for keeping away black
spot is 2 oz. of sulphate of copper and 1 pint of am-
monia. Let this mixture stand until you are ready
to use it (it may be made in larger quantities and
kept bottled ready for use), then shake well, mix
with 2 gallons of water and spray lightly over the
plants once a week until steady firing begins. With
a clean house, sunshine, and good drainage it is al-
most impossible to overwater a house of Roses in good
growing condition.

Don't Stint Water in Midsummer

In Midsummer when the houses are wide open, wa-
tering may be done up to sunset, but as the days get
shorter it must be finished earlier in the day. Do not
be afraid to use water liberally in hot weather even
if the sun is not shining, especially if you are trou-
bled with red spider. To fight this pest you must get
underneath every leaf with a good strong spray; a
pressure of 60 lbs. to the square inch is desirable and
anything below 40 lbs. is of little use. It is better to
risk spraying on a cloudy day if you have a bad case
of spider than to allow the pest to get the better of
you. The plants dry off quickly during the warm
Summer months if the day is at all favorable. In
extremely torrid weather frequent light sprayings
overhead are of great benefit to the plants. Some
growers do not like to wet down their walks, but per-
sonally, I have always practiced and advocated this.
I believe in using plenty of water. I don't want mud
puddles in the walks, nor walks that are dust dry, but
rather a moist, growing atmosphere which can be bet-

ter sensed by the good grower than it can be de-
scribed.

We are told that the average plant is about 70 per
cent water, that plants absorb water from the soil
through their hairlike roots, and that after they have
assimilated the plant food carried up with the water
they give off or transpire the excess moisture through
their leaves. Now this water transpired may amount
in the case of Roses grown under glass to one-half
ton or more for every pound of plant tissue formed !
From this you can gain some idea of the amount of
water needed to keep things going. But this is only
half the story, for there is also the water that we
throw around in a greenhouse to cool off the air or to
fight the red spider and to make the Midsummer at-
mosphere of the house endurable for our Roses. You
can estimate for yourself how many tons of water you
can evaporate daily in your greenhouse, for you know
that you can spend an hour damping down, and in
less than an hour afterwards see no trace of the
water.

Winter vs. Summer Flower Crops

You can cut the best flowers for market now from
early planted Roses. It is well to pinch back all the
poorer ones just before they show color; this will
build up the plants and the flowers cut later will be
of better quality. All small plants may thus be fa-
vored and built up for later work. There is often a
good call for Roses in July and August, but later on
when the Fall flowers are blooming, and until the
'Mums are gone the demand is not always so good.
It takes six weeks to get a flower from a plant that
is pinched back now, and as the days grow shorter
the time gradually increases to eight weeks.

Plants a year old or more may be dried off for a
short time. Withold all water for a week, letting the
flowers remain on the plants. Then cut half way
down and water well. The next day they will look as
dry as ever. Then you should clean off the weeds,
dead leaves and loose soil, apply a good dusting of
land lime to the beds and water this in well. After
you get the beds well wet do not water again until
the plants are leaved out. You can divide up your
place and distribute the starting up process to suit
your flower needs. Some of the plants you can carry
right along all Summer if you want to, but I think
that the results from January 1 onward are better
from plants that were cut back the previous Summer.
If there is a good sale for the flowers all Summer the
total returns are nearly equal in some years. In any
case I do not believe in cutting down much after the
middle of August.

Preparing Gpeenhouse Soils

V'By PROF. P. A. LEHENBAUER, University of Illinois**"^

Bead before the Midsummer Meeting of tliejtt. Louis. Mo.. District 'National Flower Growers
// Association, Bock Isiand, III., July 17 and 18 ^^

IN preparing our greenhouse soils we must keep
in mind the fact that both the physical structure
and the chemical composition of the soil are im-
portant. I have pointed out on former occasions that
good results cannot be obtained from a soil abundant-
ly supplied with plant food materials but faulty in
physical structures; and, likewise, that we cannot
hope for the best growth of plants in a soil in good
physical condition but deficient in those materials
which the plant requires for food. The latter fact is
evident to every grower, for whenever he finds that
his plants respond indifferently he resorts to the ap-
plication of materials which increase the food supply
of the plant. The importance of the former, however
— the proper physical structure of soil — is less evident
and frequently this is not emphasized as it should be.
We must keep in mind that it is only on soils which
possess the proper physical conditions that the great-
est benefit from the application of fertilizers is ob-
tained. The best use of a fertilizer — that is the lar-
gest proportionate return — is obtained when it is ap-
plied to a soil that is well managed from the stand-
point of its physical condition.

The Physical Condition of Soils

What, then, are the proper physical conditions of
soils for the growth of plants? Unfortunately we
cannot be very definite on this point because of the
great variations of soils and the variations of the
different types of plants in their requirements. When
we classify a soil as a sandy soil we have in mind a
soil consisting of coarse individual particles and, con-
sequently, porous in character, but the so-called sandy
soils very much in their mechanical and physical
properties. Clay soils also are classified as a group,
but again clay soils differ widely in their physical
qualities. Some of them possess a reasonably good
texture others, although they were abundantly sup-

plied with all the necessary mineral constituents, will
not produce profitable crops because certain other
necessary conditions do not prevail.

When we consider carefully the essentials of a soil
from the standpoint of its physical make-up, we find
that a number of fundamental conditions must be ful-
filled. Briefly* expressed, the roots of the growing
plant require fiigta^contimmns supply of water, sec-
ondly, a cunti^M Bwpply of air, and third, an avail-
able supply til Hal substances. I consider these
three the funcH H conditions of greenhouse soils.
What must be^i^^nysical character of the soil to
obtain them?

Water and Air Essential to Plant Roots

In order that the plant may have a continuous sup-
ply of water, the soil, because of its physical charac-
ter, must not only completely absorb and retain the
water, but at the same time deliver this water to the
roots as needed. The small roots take up water con-
tinuously, for there is a continuous stream of water
passing through the plant. A break in this continuous
stream of water in all probability results in a break
of the growth processes and, therefore, is a check to
the plant. If this is true, then the question may be
asked ; why not keep the soil wet at all times? The
answer is, because the roots also require a continu-
ous supply of air. Oxygen is as essential for respira-
tion in the cells of the roots as it is for the cells of
the. leaf. If the soil is full of water, or if the soil is
clayey and compact, air cannot penetrate freely and,
consequently, the roots cannot function properly.
There are, of course, other unfavorable conditions
which obtain in a soil which is of such a character
that it remains wet. The formation of the essential
soluble nitrates by means of bacteria will not result
and, instead, substances quite probably are formed,
which are harmful.

A good soilthen, as to physical characters, is -one
which is sufficiently open and porous so that water
and air can move through it freely, yet compact
enough to retard undue drying out. Mechanically, it
should be such that roots can readily penetrate it
and it should have a texture which will permit the
absorption of food materials applied, as well as the
gradual distribution of the latter throughout its mass
by the diffusion of the water through it. How are
we then to treat the soil in order that it will meet
these physical requirements? I appreciate the fact
that the gi-ower is limited, as a rule, to the use of a
certain type of soil, namely that which exists on his
holdings. This soil may be faulty physically; if it is,
the grower must find a method of treatment which
will make the soil better from the standpoint of its
physical qualities.

Changing Natural Soil Conditions

If the soil is too compact, which may be the case
if much clay is present, the incorporation of natural
manures will improve this physical defect. The vege-
table matter contained in natural manures has a ten-
dency to separate the fine particles, thus making the
soil more open and porous. Adding sand to a soil
which is too compact will serve in a similar way. A
number of other materials as substitutes for the nat-
ural manures have been tested and some of them no
doubt are useful in this respect if the natural ma-
nures are not available. Sphagnum moss and Clover
hay cut to a degree of fineness have been tried and
although on the whole less valuable than the natural
manures, these and other similar substances have a
desirable effect on the physical structure of soils. One
of the best means to improve soils, physically, is the
method of plowing under green crops. Any form of
crop may be used for this purpose, the kind of crop
depending largely upon the habit of growth of the
crop and also upon the time most convenient for turn-
ing it under. The crop should be plowed under while
it is still in the green succulent stage.

If the soil is too light and porous, as is often the
case with sandy soils, a similar .treatment will im-
prove the soil physically. The natural manures will
change a soil too porous to one more compact and
more retentive of moisture. This is one of the impor-
tant functions of both the natural manures and the
green manures. Aside from their value of furnishing
plant food materials or of aiding in the improvement
of those already contained in the soil, their value of
making the soil better physically for the growth of
plants cannot be too greatly emphasized. The farmer
is beginning to appreciate this fact and the practice
of growing the Clovers and the various types of Beans
and other forms of plants and plowing them under is
becoming more and more evident as we travel through
our State. This practice improves the soil from the
standpoint of its nitrogen content, it is true, but I
wish to emphasize the fact that it also improves its
physical qualities. If general farming requires this
practice, the growing of crops by intensive culture
under glass requires it to a greater degree. When we
grow plants for cut flowers we must get the maximum
results from food materials applied to the soil and
we can succeed in this only when the soil has been
properly prepared and the best attention has been
given to its physical qualities.

The problem of what fertilizers to apply to our
soils; in what form to apply them, and when to apply
them also is one which can be answered only in a
general way. However, we have some facts and a
good deal of data which should serve as a guide in
working out this problem.

The Fertility of Soils

I have emphasized a liberal use of the natural ma-
nures and green manures to improve the soil physi-
cally. These materials also improve the soil chem-
ically, that is, they supply chemical substances which
the plant requires as food materials. They contain
the elements in which most soils are deficient, name-
ly, nitrogen and phosphorus. But the fact remains
that the manures contain these necessary -chemical
substances in only relatively small quantities when
intensive culture is practiced and the substances are
not in the proper proportions to meet the require-
ments of plants. It often is necessary, therefore, to
use the prepared fertilizers to supplement the ma-
nures.

If an ample supply of the natural manures is at
hand and this supply is made use of, and, if in addi-
tion the plowing under of green crops is practiced,
the question of the nitrogen supply is partly solved.
These fertilizing materials are, in the main, nitrog-
enous fertilizers. However, as a rule the manures
used by the average florist contain available nitro-
gen in relatively small amounts, and although most of
the nitrogen becomes available rather quickly under
the favorable conditions of our greenhouses, it is very
likely true that applications of nitrogenous fertilizers
containing the nitrogen in available form or in a form
which becomes easily available are found beneficial in

most cases. This seems to be all the more true when
we consider the fact that nitrogen as it is needed by
plants is easily lost from the soil.

Supplementing Natural Manures

It is, therefore, desirable to supplement the natural
manures with other fertilizing materials containing
available nitrogen. This form of nitrogen may be
added either in the form of dried blood or in the form
as it exists in some of the fertilizer chemicals.

The natural manures are not only deficient in avail-
able nitrogen but possibly to a greater degree in phos-
phorus. Our soils also are deficient in this element
and although the use of the natural manures makes
up in part this deficiency the addition of other phos-
phorus containing materials is very essential. Our
experiments prove, I think, conclusively that applica-
tions of acid phosphate, even in a highly manured
soil, result in greater production and in better growth
of the plants. At the Illinois station, for a period of
three years we have been able to increase production
in Carnations more than 5 per cent and in Roses more
than 8 per cent by using acid phosphate. We have
increased production of Premier Roses during the
past year almost 14 per cent by using relatively large
quantities of acid phosphate. Steamed bone may be
used instead of acid phosphate; however, our experi-
ments indicate that the increase in production is not
so large. During the past year we had an increase of
about 10 per cent with Premier from the use of
steamed bone. Precipitated bone gave us results com-
parable with acid phosphate. In these experiments
ample quantities of stable manures were used supple-
mented with dried blood. Our results have been cor-
roborated recently by the Rhode Island station where
it was found that the use of fertilizers containing
phosphorus increased production of Carnations. On
the basis of extensive experiments that station recom-
mends that acid phosphate at the rate of one ton per
acre (about 5 pounds per 100 sq. ft.) be applied to
soils. We have found that a larger quantity should
be used for our soils in order to get maximum re-
turns. The acid phosphate or bone may be applied
to the soil and manure compost in its making or it
may be mixed with the soil just before being planted.
If it is desired to use a complete commercial ferti-
lizer, one having an analysis of about 4-12-3 would
give good results in our type of soil. The application
of potash is not necessary in most soils, for this com-
pound is usually present in ample quantities; how-
ever, if it is desired to use a complete fertilizer the
potash contained in it will do no harm.

Personally, I feel that the ideal system of applying
fertilizers to greenhouse soils is one which recognizes
the fact that nitrogen is easily lost from the soil
while phosphoric acid remains fixed ; also that soluble
nitrogen is pronounced in its effects on growth, large
quantities resulting in soft, weak growth, while phos-
phoric acid has little apparent effect on growth and
relative large quantities do not affect plants injuri-
ously. Considering these facts, the soil should re-
ceive, during its preparation, relative large quanti-
ties of phosphoric acid, a quantity sufficient for the
season's growth, and enough soluble nitrogen, supplied
by the natural manures and a form of prepared fer-
tilizer such as dried blood, to initiate good growth.
Then from time to time more nitrogen should be
supplied as the plants, as indicated by their growth,
require. This system is advocated, not only because
it is based on fundamental facts, but also because the
grower can better study and observe the response of
the plants to fertilizers, and besides he can learn the
needs of his soil in the way of necessary fertilizers.

Keeping Greenhouse Soils in Condition

I have pointed out that soils may be improved both
physically and chemically by means of the manures
and fertilizer chemicals. A part of this improvement,
or possibly all of it, may be done or is usually done
in the field. That is, the soil as it exists in the field may
be grown with green manure crops, treated with stable
manures and the fertilizer chemicals prior to bring-
ing the soil into the houses. The question arises if
this same treatment cannot be carried out while the
soil is in the benches ; in other words, cannot the same
soil be used year after year in our houses, and with
the help of proper treatment produce good crops ? This
method would be economical in labor and very likely
also in fertilizing materials if good crops could be
grown. We are attempting to answer this question
by means of experiment at the Illinois station. The
method is, briefly, to treat the soil in the benches
each year so that it is kept in good physical condition
and that there is ample food material in the soil. Our
data are not yet very extensive but at the present
time they indicate that in the case of Carnations pro-
duction, compared with the new soil, is decreased by
less than one flower per plant. Comparing, however,
the yearly production on the same soil for four suc-
cessive years, it is found that there has been a slight
increase in production.

This question of using the same soil continuously
in the benches for a number of years has been at-
tacked in the experimental way by the Rhode Island
station. The experiment was carried through a period
of five years. The aim of the experiment was "to
learn the effect upon the growth of Carnation plants,
of using year after year the identical soil, plus stable
manure, as compared with soil renewed each year,
plus stable manure."

It was found that if the same soil is used each
year for five years and stable manure is added each
year, that production is reduced by an average of
about 5 per cent below that from fresh soil plus ma-
nure each year. If we attempt then to make a con-
clusion from the data we have thus far, it is that the
practice of using our soil continuously year after year
in the benches has a tendency to reduce the yield
slightly. Whether this slight reduction is justified by
the gain in the labor required to change the soil each
year, the grower must determine for himself. It may
still be true that after we have learned how to treat
our soil in the benches from year to year, that the
continuous use of soil for a number of years will be
the more profitable in the end.

National Flower Growers

St. Louis District

The St. Louis Growers' District meeting, July 17
and 18 was a big success. Fifty growers were pres-
ent. The secretary reported 73 members. Seventeen
additional members were enrolled at this meeting.
Tie treasurer reported a balance of $783. The meet-
ing went on record as encouraging a pot plant ex-
change for the St. Louis market; also for some uni-
form plan of grading cut Roses. The practice was
condemned of Gladioli bulb growers flooding the mar-
kets with cut blooms of Gladioli flowers in competi-
tion with the men who purchase their bulbs ; also the
practice 'of wholesale commission houses consigning
any kind of flowers to retailers on open price.

All officers were present, also all speakers, and all
addresses were very instructive.

The annual meeting for January 1923 was advanced
to meet in St. Louis during the Pall Flower Show,
Nov. 7 to 12 ; the executive committee meets in Spring-
field, 111., during the State Fair, Sept. 19. The F. T. D.
conference was also a success; district organization
and clearing house plans being unanimously jap-
proved.

Tuesday, after the close of the meeting, members
were guests of the Tri-City Florists Club. A luncheon
was served at the Stapp greenhouses, after which the
visitors were taken around Rock Island, Moline and
Davenport to visit the greenhouses and other places
of interest. The Tri-City Club was extended a vote
of thanks, as was also Mr. L. Stapp, for their hospi-
tality.

JUST why Viola cornuta is not commonly known to
every florist is more than we can understand, un-
less it is that being a late Spring-Summer bloomer,
it has no special appeal to the commercial instinct as-
has the Pansy, which can be flowered in Winter, or
in early Spring in a coldframe. But to ignore it be-
cause of this fact is absurd. If V. cornuta were an
early bloomer it would be a serious rival of the Vio-
let, V. odorata, because it resembles it somewhat in
form, has a sweet scent and in some instances is a
glowing purple, rivalling the finest Violet, besides
having wonderful lasting qualities.

Before us as we write are some blooms culled from
some plants which have bloomed intermittently since
mid-May, but which since mid-June have never been
without flowers.

The plants were propagated from a seedling which
flowered last year because it appeared to be an extra
fine form. The glorious color, long stems and sweet
scent are such that it has never failed to attract im-
mediate attention, both in the garden and when used
as a buttonhole or as our desk ornament. It is so
utterly different from Pansies, and a so gloriously
brilliant purple, that it seems to have an appeal
for everyone.

And yet anyone might raise V. cornuta from seed
and from a batch select one or more types equally
as fine as the one we speak of.

One may occasionally find a florist in the city fea-
turing a few flowers of V. cornuta, but we have no
knowledge of its being a regular market flower any-
where in the United States.

Viola cornuta originally came from the Pyrenees,
and it was apparently known in England as far back
as 1776, but it was not until about 1S56 that it was
taken in hand by John Fleming. His work brought
about a boom around 1863, and it has continued more
or less until the present day. By crossing V. cornuta
and several other species, Fleming and other breed-
ers developed a type of Pansy remarkable for it3
tufted habit and freedom of bloom. The British Viola
of today, however, embraces some varieties that are
more akin to Pansies in their habit with flowers of
great size. These exhibition Violas are to all intents
Pansies without blotches. The true bedding Viola
is extremely free, blooming from April to Fall if
well cared for. There are innumerable varieties, all
being propagated from cuttings. The trade in Violas
in England and Scotland must amount to millions;
this season owing to the serious drought last year,
the supply was far below the demand especially of
the famous pale mauve Maggie Mott, which probably
could claim to be the most propagated bedding plant
the world has ever seen.

The true Viola cornuta, however, has neither been
lost nor obliterated during the progress of years. The
taste for small, dainty things has induced some Eng-
lish growers to keep the species and its companion
V. gracilis true to form, although by selection the
types have been improved. The gracilis section which
hails from Macedonia is more prostrate and suited
to rockeries, and many beautiful hybrids of it have
been evolved without spoiling its form.

V. cornuta, the Horned Viola, is more tufted in
habit and, in addition to the normal violet color, there
is a white form and also the deep purple, purpurea
and papilio wllich latter has extra large flowers and
a dark eye.

The strain called Admirabilis is assumed to have
arisen as a hybrid from one or other cornuta forms.
The habit of the Admirabilis forms is more compact
and the stems are shorter than the large flowered
Papilio. The range of colors embraces both yellows
and blues as well as white. They are beautiful for
bedding, but not so useful for cut flowers. Of the
true V. cornuta seed sold under name there is Blue
Perfection but whether this is the same Perfection
raised in 1870 this writer is not able to say. White
Pefection or Champion White is good also.

Mauve Queen is perhaps less attractive than the
true violet form, but Purple Queen is fine, while it
is not to be doubted that the new Deep Violet form
of Papilio and Lord Nelson are superior to any.

The form referred to early in these notes came out
of a mixed lot of seed of bedding Violas and may or
may not be Lord Nelson or Papilio, Deep Violet —
comparisons will not be possible before another sea-
son. The large flowers, the slight fluting of the petals
and regular form indicate it is superior to the ordi-
nary V. cornuta. W.

went home.

The Second Day

The second day of the convention was opened by a
very instructive and beneficial talk by Roscoe Smith,
manager of the Fort Worth Clearing House, on "How
May a Florist Establish Better Credit as a Bor-
rower?"

Mr. Smith's address appears elsewhere. If a florist
wants credit from a banker when he needs it (because
we can all get credit when we have plenty of money,
or when we have just shown our reliability by paying
back a loan), he has to be able to sell his business
and his situation to the banker. And if he doesn't
know his business and his situation, it is foolish for
him to expect a banker to loan him any amount of
money. There are too many of us florists who do not
have thorough enough systems of accounting to tell
us facts about our business which bankers want to
know. We may know who owes us money, and whom
we owe money to, but we don't know about percen-
tages; we don't know about proper relations between
operating and merchandise expenses; we don't use
our opportunities, and we don't do our spending in-
telligently. Too many of us florists keep an "en-
velope" accounting system and never do anything but
get a new envelope. We merely write down a man's
name when he buys from us, and scratch it out when
he pays. And if he doesn't pay, we throw the en-
velope away. The same is true of our purchases. We
do not have the proper knowledge of our sales, what
percentage are flowers, and what percentage are sup-
plies; what percentage are large sales, which repre-
sent an established, dependable business, and what
percentage are small ones, which represent an uncer-
tain, transient business. From the banker's stand-
point, you've got to knoic before you risk. He doesn't
risk on generalities. Mr. Smith's talk was much to
the point, and truly practical.

Mr. Lang of Dallas then spoke on "The Future
Outlook of the Flower Business in this Section." He
was decidedly optimistic, and prophesied great things
for Texas. The fact that his talk was so obvious to
the thinking man, and the fact that Texas is so
fraught with opportunities, were the only things that
detracted in importance from his excellently prepared
speech.

Walter Armacost takes Floor

At this time Walter Armacost came up and cap-
tured the convention. He has more friends in Texas
now than he has in California, because in Texas we
are all Democrats and talk a lot. And by this time, all
our friends are Mr. Armacost's, too. His talk was not
one the writer can condense into an intelligible and
forceful synopsis, because it was so interspersed with
humorous stories, and practical applications. It was
a forceful talk on the right way of doing business ;
the right attitude toward your business; the right
attitude toward your competitor ; the right attitude
toward life. Mr. Armacost is a hard and intelligent
worker, a broad minded florist, and one who inspires
you with confidence in yourself, and with a desire to
do as big things in Texas as he has done in California,
although you would never know that he had done any-
thing by talking to him. He never talks about him-
self, but always about the other man. "Give out in-
formation, help the other fellow," is the keynote of
Mr. Armacost's message, and he lives up to these
ideals.

H. 0. Hannah, our own Texas florist, whose silver
tongue has charmed every convention he has attended,
next arose to deliver one of the simplest, yet most
magnificent of eulogies, upon the late J. E. McAdams.
His touching commemoration was ended with the
beautiful poem. "As You'd Have Chosen." Following
the reading of the poem. Mr. Davis called the conven-
tion to rise for one minute of silent prayer.

This concluded the morning session.

The Afternoon Session

The afternoon session was opened by an address by
Mr. John Furrow of Oklahoma City, on "Carnations
and Carnation Diseases." It was of especial inter-
est to several of the Texas growers who have tried
to grow Carnations, but encountered unexpected diffi-
culties. Mr. Furrow dealt with the growing of Oar-
nations in Texas, and answered many of the questions
as to how to overcome local disadvantages.

J. C. Vaughan, of Chicago, that veteran of the
floral and seed industry, carries well his more than
three score years and ten, then addressed the conven-
tion. A. S. Gray, president of the Oklahoma Associa-
tion, then told how he had rolled up 80 members for
the S. A. F. in Oklahoma — and it wasn't five minutes
after he had finished before some six men were out
with pencils and little slips of paper. Mrs. R. C.
Kerr, of Houston, then gave a short but entertaining
talk on our Texas wild flowers, after which the con-
vention adjourned for the day.

Once More on the Roof

The evening of the second day of the convention
was spent on the Jefferson roof, where the delegates
were entertained by the allied tradesmen present at
the convention. They furnished dancing, several num-
bers of musical selections, the most captivating juve-
nile dancer we ever saw, and all the good old Texas
Watermelons we could eat. It was a very pleasant
session — added to by the delightful coolness of the
location.

The Third Day

The morning of the third day of the convention was
taken up by the talk of J. F. Ammann, of Edwards-
ville, 111., who spoke on the F. T. D. Mr. Ammann's
talk was instructive, interesting, and very timely.
The F. T. D. is undoubtedly the most modern and
appealing branch of the floral industry, and it is im-
portant that we develop this association so as to pro-
mote the largest possible business, and facilitate the
handling of it. Mr. Ammann urged the establishing of
an F. T. D. Clearing House, and the convention as a
unit voted in strong support of it.

J. F. Ammann, in concluding his address, read the

following lines by Edgar Guest. They are appropriate

to the appeal he made to all. "Come in and help make

us strong:"

"When you've written your deeds on the ledger of life

And the stylus shall fall from your hand;
When your brief tasks are done, and night shuts out
the sun,
And all that you've graven must stand.
Think you that in pride you shall pass up the screed,
And open it wide for the Master to read?

"When the last line is cut on the stone of your years
And there's no new tomorrow to write;
When you can't make amends for the hurt to your
friends
Or blot out a blunder from sight.
Do you think you'll be proud to step forward to show
Your book of accomplishment written below?

"Suppose that your book should be finished today,
What most would the ledger disclose?
Would the Great Master find enough deeds that were
kind
To balance the sham and the pose?
God knows there are great deeds you're eager to
write —
But what if your record should end with tonight?

"He shall know, as He looks on each pitiful smudge.
Of our failures and blundering here;

Eut still, as He reads the great sum of our deeds,
The humblest of men need not fear,

If the Master shall find, as he looks his life through,
That he lived to his best, and he tried to be true.
The afternoon session was addressed by T. J. Noll,
of Kansas City, on the S. A. F. Convention, to be held
in Kansas City during the coming month of August.
He told us a little of the preparations being made,
and a lot about Kansas City. There is no doubt in
the writer's mind but that Texas will be proudly rep-
resented in Kansas City on Aug. 15, 16 and 17.

Following, was the closing of routine business and
the election of officers. J. W. Begbie was unanimously
elected president for the coming year. Mr. Begbie is
located in Shreveport, La., but his ardent loyalty to
the Texas Association (there is none in Louisiana),
and his constant presence at each convention, have
established for him a place of love and respect in
the hearts of Texas florists, and his selection met
with universal approval. Tom Wolfe, of Waco, was
elected vice-president, he being probably the youngest
man elected to that office in any convention. "Tommy,"
as he is better known, is only a youth of 20, but he,
as the successor to his father, is one of the best
known florists in Texas, and has a most successful
business. We are proud to own him and we expect
great things in Waco at the next year's convention.

Wise Adkisson, of Greenville, was elected secretary-
treasurer : Edgar Hall, of Austin, Miss Wood, of Hills-
boro, and "Red" Eastwood, of Fort Worth, were
elected to fill vacancies in the board of directors.

The Finance Committee appointed consists of Will
J. Baker, James Begbie, and E. W. Judge, and the
Welfare Committee comprises Will J. Baker, James
Begbie, and Mr. Caden.

The Final

The entertainment that night was a banquet served
on the roof at the Jefferson, which was undoubtedly
the best attended single session of the convention.
The meal was a good one; the location was ideal; the
spirit of everyone was happy, satisfied, and well
pleased with the three days of convention — the affair
as a whole was delightful. Following the banquet,
which was presided over by R. C. Kerr, of Houston,
the newly elected officers were given an opportunity
to say a few words of greeting, and make a lot of
promises — the old president said good-bye; Mr. Arma-
cost, Mr. Ammann, Mr. Gray, and one or two others
all spoke a few appropriate words of pleasure at
being there, and reluctance at parting — and we all
knew that they meant from us, and not the banquet.
And then, in noble and eloquent words of praise Mr.
Hannah rose to recommend that J. C. Vaughan, and
J. F. Ammann be given permanent, honorary member-
ship in the Texas State Florists Association. We were
all proud to have them. After the speeches, about an
hour of dancing and thirty minutes of leave taking,
concluded the most successful, and pleasant of Texas
conventions yet held. C. B. W.

New President Texas State Florists Association

James W. Begbie is a thoroughly trained seedsman
of the old school who served a long and severe ap-
prenticeship with the fine old British seed houses of
Lawson Seed and Nursery Co. of Edinburgh, and
Drummond's of Dublin.

After coming to the U. S. A., like many other prom-
inent horticulturists here today, Mr. Begbie was fori
several years with Messrs. Pitcher & Manda of Short
Hills, N. J., and later with Clucas & Boddington Co.
of New York, as manager of their seed department,
and in a similar capacity with Arthur T. Boddington.

The Florists' Exchange

For the last fifteen years he has conducted a success-
ful seed and florist business in Shreveport, La.

Mr. Begbie has always been a progressive man. and
his knowledge of horticulture and agriculture is of
the widest range. He can discuss with surety any-
thing from hybrid orchids to grass seed and Mangel
Wurzels. and from flower seeds to fertilizers.

The Texas State Florists Association will never
have a president with greater ability or a wider range
of knowledge, both agricultural and horticultural, or
a man of greater worth or sterling integrity. The
Texas State Florists Association is indeed to be con-
gratulated. Mr. Begbie had the great advantage of
being born in Scotland.

The Training of Gardeners

The announcement of the recently concluded agree-
ment between the Mass. Agricultural College and the
National Association of Gardeners to provide a course
of horticultural instruction, makes interesting read-
ing. In effect, this plan provides two fairly lengthy
courses, both scientific and practical, under the au-
thority of the college and about 2y2 years practical
work in gardens or commercial establishments, at the
end of which time students will undergo an examina-
tion conducted by the N. A. G. The plan provides the
European apprenticeship system in a modified form
and we believe it will be of the greatest value.

Of course, there are instances where men have
achieved horticultural renown without ever having
had scientific or practical training, but such are rare
and have hinged upon a born aptitude for gardening.

The Cooperative Arrangement

The Massachusetts Agricultural College, Amherst,
takes pleasure in announcing a cooperative arrange-
ment with the National Association of Gardeners
whereby a special course of training for gardeners is
to be established. Tentative plans for this course are
set forth below, and it is expected that the first pupils
under this arrangement will be admitted to Massa-
chusetts Agricultural College with the opening of the
Fall term, Sept. 27, 1922.

Purpose

The traditional training of gardeners in Europe
has been conducted through a well established appren-
tice system. This training requires several years of
practical work in various branches of the art. The
American system, by contrast, has developed extended
courses in school and college giving scientific and
theoretical training, with a minimum of practical ex-
perience. In the present plan the attempt is made
to combine these two systems with the hope of se-
curing the benefits of both. The Massachusetts Agri-
cultural College will conduct the theoretical instruc-
tion, while the National Association of Gardeners
will take the responsibility of directing a prescribed
apprenticeship. These two lines of work will be care-
fully coordinated and pupils will be held to a strict
accountability in both.

This course of training is planned with the ex-
pectation of fitting men for practical gardening, either
as commercial gardeners, florists or nurserymen con-
ducting productive business enterprises of their own,
or as gardeners on estates, foremen and superinten-
dents in parks or cemeteries, or as gardeners, florists
or nurserymen in the employ of commercial estab-
lishments.

Plan

The general plan of instruction is based upon the
two-year course already in successful operation at
Massachusetts Agricultural College. Students fitted
to take the course will be admitted each year in Sep-
tember, and will remain in residence at the college

for six months. During this time they will pursue
general studies in fruit growing, flower growing,
vegetable growing, forestry, general horticulture and
such elementary subjects as may be necessary. These
classes will close the last week in March and students
will be sent to various commercial establishments
and private estates for a Summer of practical work.
Every effort will be made to see that pupils are ad-
vantageously placed so as to secure the best possible
experience, and this Summer's apprenticeship will be
supervised by a committee representing jointly the
Massachusetts Agricultural College and the National
Association of Gardeners.

At the end of the Summer, students will return to
the college for an additional period of nine months'
study. They will thus complete this part of the course
in the following June, and if successful will receive
a certificate from the college. From this point they
will enter upon an apprenticeship of two years, to be
arranged and supervised by the National Association
of Gardeners. At the. end of this time they will be
examined by a special board, and if successful, will
receive the diploma of the National Association of
Gardeners.

Admission

Students must be 17 years of age or over at the
time of admission and must have completed an ele-
mentary school course or its equivalent, and must be
able to use the English language with reasonable fa-
cility. Under the plan proposed special considera-
tion will be given to pupils coming upon the recom-
mendatiou of the National Association of Gardeners.

Expenses

Tuition at the Massachusetts Agricultural College
is free to citizens of the State. Pupils from outside
the State are charged $60 a term. This will make the
tuition charge for the first year $120 and for the sec-
ond $180. There are small laboratory fees charged in
certain courses and other fees for incidentals, but
these will not average above $10 a term. Board and
room in Amherst cost from $8 to $12 a week.

Information

This work will all be under the cooperative manage-
ment of the Massachusetts Agricultural College and
the National Association of Gardeners. The associa-
tion is represented for the present by the following
members of its Executive Committee : Robert Cameron,
Ipswich, Mass. ; William N. Craig, Brookline, Mass.,
and M. C. Ebel, New York. The immediate direction
of instruction will be in the hands of Professor Frank
A. Waugh, Amherst, Mass., to whom may be addressed
all correspondence regarding these matters.

Red Spider and Other Bugs

Editor The Florists Exchange:

East year I had such an overpopulation of red spider
on my Carnations that they climbed up on the buds
to get air. When spraying my horse with Pratts Fly
Chaser I gave the Carnations a dose; I did not care
if I killed the Carnations. I killed the red spider,
also the Carnations.

This year I kept the Carnation clean of red spider
by using the same stuff, one-half tablespoonful to one
quart of water, sprayed above the plants in a fine
mist with a handspray.

This Ely Chaser - will also discourage white fly
mite and thrips if sprinkled on the cinders of the
bench after removing the plants. Care must be taken
that none of the liquid gets on the foliage ; only Car-
nations will stand this stuff.

All insects have likes and dislikes and their habits
can be used to advantage for destroying them. Among

the night insects is the owl moth, which lays the egg of
the cutworm and he is a regular boozefighter. String
dried Apples on cord and soak in mixture of old
honey, stale near beer and ether, then hang the gar-
den or orchard. The drunken moths can be collected.
Electric lights will also attract all of them, the old-
fashioned open street lamp globe used to catch them
by the bushel.

I think by using the knowledge of the habits of
these injurious insects, farmers, nurserymen and flo-
rists could do much towards clearing up the pests.

I am not able to invent some workable contraption,
but some genius among the trade maybe can think of
a vacuum-electric light apparatus to get rid of the
night bugs. — F. R., Ind.

■ [We have some recollection of reading that the
electric light and vacuum principle is used in French
orchards. For years past, the "light" system has been
used for attracting moths, some method of catching
them being attached to the lamp.

It must be understood, however, that while most
of the moths are nocturnal fliers ; butterflies are not
and their larvae in the form of caterpillars can do a
pile of damage among the Cabbage family.

Further, while the larva? of many beetles are night
feeders, the beetles are not always so. and even those
that fly at night are not always attracted by light:
the June bug is an exception.

Undoubtedly, the only sane method of attacking
the various "bugs" is by getting after them at all
times, so that both larvae and mature stages are
caught. Usually, the larva? stage of insect life is
most vulnerable, and as so many of them spend part
of their time in the soil that surely is the place to do
good execution.

We do not know the constituents of the fly remedy
referred to, but we imagine it is too dangerous to
use as a spray for plants at the dilution mentioned.
It may contain tar or naphtha oils that cannot be
modified by dilution. There is, however, good reason
for experimenting with chemicals that will bear high
dilution as most of the washes used are costly, espe-
cially when they have to be applied frequently.

Many years ago we used a fluid, German made we
believe, known as H. Emulsion. This, like many stand-
ard disinfectants turned water milky ; the fluid was
black. It was usable for almost any purpose, includ-
ing sheep dipping and disinfecting, but it was in most
general use in fruit orchards. It could be used crude
in Winter for painting wounds and diseased or pest
ridden portions of the trees ; its effect on canker was
remarkable, but for spraying dormant trees, it could
be used at one in ten up. The dilution had to be
increased to one in 150 to 200 for aphis, etc., when
the foliage was young but later a stronger strength
would kill caterpillars. The writer got into the habit
of using H. Emulsion for many purposes. Used strong
it was the order of the boot to woodlice, slugs, etc.,
in frames or on a bench, not planted ; it was used
for watering seed beds — in fact it was a general cure
all, but as it was not poisonous it was not a true soil
sterilizer.

Many outdoor flowers could stand it at one in 200
when used as an aphis killer, but Roses would not
stand this strength. One grower using it under glass
found by many experiments that the emulsion would
kill some insects and diseases at a dilution of one in
one thousand.

Of course, the stuff was dangerous to everything
not mentioned by the makers until one proved the
strength one could go, but it showed that there is a
possibility of powerful fluids which, because of their
high dilution point, may cost but a fraction of present
day materials. — W.]

Trade Notes

Midsummer is with us. Flowers as
well as everyone else seem to wear a tired
look. Publicity, however, has helped to
an extent that anniversaries, birthdays and
other events are not entirely forgotten.

Gladioli are now getting their turn, and
Grimm & Gorly had a special in local
papers advertising the same. Outdoor
flowers are about over, the dry weather
proving very disastrous.

Good Carnations are sought after.
Roses are plentiful and cheap. Ice boxes
were unloaded Saturday, and bargain
sales were made in the public market.

Convention news is sought after, and
the banner crowd at St. Louis will be the
largest ever seen at a similar convention.

Vacations, fishing trips and outdoor
sports furnish employment for the boys,
who otherwise would be lying around.

Notes

John D. Kern, formerly with
Scriggs, Vandevoort & Barney, and later
with F. H. Weber, is doing nicely at his
flower shop. A very pretty and neat stand
has been opened and will, later in the
season, do a nice transient trade. John
is well known in the trade, and success is
wished for by all his friends.

H. G. Berning and wife are still away,
taking in the southern conventions. The
business is looked after by George Kueh-
ner and his wideawake staff.

The regular meeting of the St. Louis
Florists Club was held at Denker's plant,
at St. Charles, Mo., Thursday afternoon,
July 13. About 75 members were present.
Communications were read from Fred
Ammann. He will attend the St. Louis
District Growers' meeting at Rock Island,
111., this week.

Eighteen new members were elected,
and three new applications were received.
Attendance prize was forfeited by the
lucky ones being absent, their number be-
ing called. The feature of the meeting
was the nominations of officers for ensu-
ing year as follows: Frank Windier,
president; Oscar Ruff, vice-president;
Wm. C. Smith, treasurer; J. J. Beneke,
secretary; George Pring, trustee.

A vote of thanks was given to the
Denker Floral Co. for their elaborate en-
tertainment of the visitors.

Many of the retail establishments are

cleaning up and renovating their stores
for the Fall trade.

Saturday, July 15, all the department
stores closed all day till the latter part
of August every Saturday. This curtails
trade to a great extent.

Joe Frank has closed up his flower
stand at Kerske 10c. store. Saturday he
took charge of sales at Soulard Market,
with his great hobby, two dozen Roses
for 25c, and a rebate to those who com-
plained about their keeping qualities after
getting them home.

The new wholesale house to be opened
by the George Pieser Wholesale Floral
Co. will open up the latter part of coming
week. C. W. W.

Pinehurst Floral Co. in Trouble

Bankruptcy petition against the
Pinehurst Floral Co., Pleasant Hill, Mo.,
was filed June 17, on behalf of Pearce
Hardware Co., with a claim of $554; Gus-
. tin & Sons, claim of $89.82 and Manicke
& Cox, automobile repairs, $138. H. Tuck-
er Smith, president o the Pinehurst Com-
pany, filed schedules recently, showing
total of $116,999.80 in debts. Assets were
not all given, but it is known that there
is a large amount of growing stock on
the place and in the houses. Among the
creditors of the company are listed 22
holders of gold notes of face value, $18,-
000, and another item is $53,600 in bonds,
and $537.50 of interest due on these bonds.
State and county taxes of $1166.44 are
listed; and one week's payroll, ending June
6, of $666.13. Among the larger creditors
mentioned are: American Bulb Co., Chi-
cago, $1500; G. M. Davis Reg. Co., $344;
A. Henderson, $542; Kahler Pottery Co.,
Louisville, Neb., $1,000; Interstate Win-
dow Glass Co., Bradford, Pa., $1196; fuel
companies, debts of $715, $1500, $1406 and
$1251; lumber and hardware companies,
$1206, $553, $880 and $762; Crescent Bulb
Co., $1200; Ralph M. Ward & Co., $641;
C. Keur & Co., $565.

Alpha Floral Co

This recently taken picture of the
Alpha Floral Co. store, Kansas City, Mo.,
is sufficient to indicate that visitors to
the S. A. F. Convention may, and probably
will learn a few things from the local flo-
rists there. This store is in one of
Kansas City's most prominent locations
and, in the busy season, gives occupation
to more than a score of employees. Note
the huge and elaborate icebox; the bal-
cony and the abundance of floor space.
Observe, too, the simple, but effective
decorations, the plumed grasses and the
standing vase of the Peruvian Daffodil,
Ismene calathina, near by the icebox.

The Market

Business conditions are nothing to
brag about, though little is to be ex-
pected during mid- July, recognized gen-
erally as the poorest week in the florists'
year. In the downtown shopping district,
business is very limited on Saturday,
since the all day closing of the depart-
. ment stores went into effect.

Gladioli is the dominant flower at pres-
ent; the market broke under the heavy
pressure of shipments and excellent stock
can be bought in quantity lots for $4
a 100. There seems to be a more care-
ful selection of colors grown that has
been the case other years and the lead-
ing varieties that catch the retailers'
fancy are America, La Grandesse, Niagara,
Halley, War, Peace, Maiden's Blush,
Brenchleyensis, Gretchen Zang, Schwaben
and Panama. The crop will be heavy and
growers report that the stock will last
until October.

Roses are holding their own though the
color is a bit off and stems are shorter
in the different grades. There is a
marked scarcity of red Roses and no Am.
Beauty at all. Some choice Kaiserin
and white Killarney. Ophelia, Butterfly
and Columbia are the leaders.

Carnations are quite plentiful; that is,
white are, but the colors are poor. There
is a stagnation of business on garden
flowers; Candytuft, Cornflower, Larkspur,
Coreopsis, Achillea, Veronica, Calendula,
etc., arrive in quantity and only a portion
can be moved.

Asters are beginning to make their
presence felt and the arrivals are in-
creasing in quantity and quality. There
seems to be a great deal of stem rot and
lots of the outside rows are much de-
pleted. Heavy rains at a critical time in
their growth cause this damage, some
sections getting it much worse than oth-
ers.

The plant situation remains unchanged
and greens are normal.

Florists Club Picnic

The annual picnic of the Cleveland
Florists Club will be held at Willow Beach
Park, on Wednesday, July 26. The prize
list requires a budget of about $200 con-
tributed by the representative florists.
The usual outing races and events will be
held and first, second and third prizes
will be offered. The ball game and tug
of war, always a feature, will be the
main attractions.

Stores will close at noon to give em-
ployees ample time to make the trip,
which is quite a run by trolley from the
center of the city.

Don't fail to attend!

S. A. F. and O. H. Convention

It is not too early to make hotel
reservations for your stay in Kansas City,
and if any of the Cleveland florists in-
tend motoring, they are advised by Alpha
Elberfield, chairman of the Publicity Com-
mittee, to take the Tib road to Des
Moines, then on to Kansas City. There
are free tourists camps conveniently lo-
cated and only four minutes' ride from
the heart of the city. Road maps will
be furnished on application to Mr. Elber-
field.

Members will be able to purchase round
trip tickets at the rate of fare and one-
half on the identification certificate plan.
Certificates will be furnished by John
Young, secretary of the S. A. F. and
O. H. Write him at 43 West 18th St.,
New York. If you have not paid your
dues for 1922, do so at once to get ad-
mittance card to< the convention hall.

Houston, Texas

TODAY

"It's a beautiful day,

I'll say It is!
A beautiful day for

Play or "biz;"
It may be blue or

It may be gray,
Whatever It is, it's a

Beautiful day."

With that attitude in mind, Houston
florists can look at their July sales, and
immediate future prospects, in a very op-
timistic frame of mind.

For instance, we have no large Roses;
we have no Carnations of any kind. Our
plentiful supply of beautiful Shasta Dais-
ies is about exhausted. Home grown
Gladioli are being' served hot — in fact,
some of them would look much better
served on a platter with a little catsup,
than in a florist's box surrounded with
waxed paper. In the Summer time Texas
is hot, and this Summer, Texas is very
hot.

Resuming our optimistic trend, how-
ever, we are very pleased this year with
our crop of Tuberoses. In fact, we are
more than pleased, because we are of

the opinion that Houston is producing
some of the best Tuberoses in the South.
Our early Spring rains gave the crop a
good start and our hot sun hasn't
"feazed" them a bit. With these and our
old reliable Texas Blue Bells, we have no
fault to find. Both are in abundant sup-
ply, and in reasonably good demand.

Soon we will be receiving Asters from
California, and a lot of our troubles will
be over. A few of the local florists have
already received good shipments of these
flowers, and disposed of them by merely
showing them. They are the most popu-
lar Summer flower we have and without
them, we would, indeed, be in serious
straits, for many Texas folks refuse to
consider Blue Bells and Gladioli as flow-
ers. The Blue Bells grow wild on the
prairies a few miles north and west of
Houston, and Gladioli grow in everyone's
yard during the Spring. We florists have
a hard time persuading some people that
the flowers that grow in their yards are
pretty.

The most ingenious of the local florists
are making the best of a tight situation
by putting up nearly all of their flowers
in baskets. Even Zinnias, Periwinkles,
Pinks and the Wild Verbena become un-
recognizable when tastefully arranged.
"Sell colors" is the slogan. Several of
the florists who are practicing this by
trying to adopt some of the new ideas
in basket arrangements, as demonstrated
by Peter Miller at the State Convention,
are reporting that even the most dis-
criminating customers can be pleased by
attractive baskets. It is an interesting
observation, however, that the baskets
must be already made up, to sell. Flower
buyers cannot imagine something beauti-
ful or artistic in three or four vases of

common flowers. But if you have them al-
ready made up when they come into your
store, _ they are immediately attracted;
and if your basket is good, it will sell
itself.

This is the time of the year, too, for
renovating. Several of the local stores
are painting up, and putting in new fix-
tures.

And along with the renovating of
stores, should come the renovating of
ideas. Now is the time for the store man-
agers to get out their little notebooks,
and jot down ideas about window decor-
ating in one section, ideas about delivery
in another, ideas about flower arrange-
ments in another, and advertising sug-
gestions in still another section. These
ideas come out of the trades papers.
Lvery florist should consider it valuable
use of his time to read from cover to
cover The Exchange, and other papers.
Those of us in the South should not over-
look the Southern Florist. These books
are full of suggestions, and of practical
ideas worked out by other men. When
your store isn't busy is the time for plan-
ning. In Houston, the retail florists just
back from the convention are full of
enthusiasm, and you find notebooks and
files before everyone of them. The Hew-
ett Flower Shop has become ambitious and
patriotic and joined the ranks of the F
T. D., as has also The California Flower
Shop Both these stores are well estab-
lished and doing a good business. We of
the local florists who are already F. T D
members welcome them into our ranks.

Eichlings were holding their annual fam-
ily reunion.

Mr. and Mrs. Fred Carroll of Carroll,
the Florist, have returned from their
month's absence from the city, and re-
port a very pleasant vacation. Mr. Car-
roll made ' an extended trip throughout
California and the West Coast, and has
nothing but admiration and praise _ to
speak of for the florists of that section.
They have wonderful natural advantages,
and it appears that most of the florists
use them.

And, by the way, Houston is going to
be well represented in Kansas City if the
railroad strike holds off that long. And
if it happens before Aug. 15 there s sev-

Newport, R. I.

July 18. — Much damage was done to
growing stock in the Carl Jurgens gardens,
on Bliss Mine rd., by idle sightseers tak-
ing possession in automobiles and afoot,
to view the destruction by fire of a large
ice house adjoining his property last week.
Owing to the direction of the wind, at no
time was his big greenhouse establishment
in danger.

From Newport Daily News of July 18
we learn in a quotation from Newport's
first directory, published in Aug., 1856,
that Robert Wilson sold fruit, bouquets,
bird seed, etc. That is probably the first
record we have of a flower store here.

Mr. Wilson, or "Dr. Wilson," as he
was called, had several greenhouses on
Broadway, in which he principally grew
bedding plants at the time of your cor-
respondent's arrival here in the early '80s.
That a change has taken place is shown
in a list of 117 grand jurors drawn were
ten of the gardening or florists' profession.
And on the petit jury list of 252 there
are 26 rated as gardeners, florists or
nurserymen.

Leikens & Wenham have been putting
up some wonderful window displays. It
is fortunate for them that flowers are
plentiful. A. McL.

The Florists' Outing

Just because you do not often hear
from Cincinuati does not mean that she
has died away or even fallen back. Ah!
no ; especially not in the line of flowers.

We have a strong florists' organization
which, glad to say, is broad enough in its
aims to take us all in ; grower, retailer,
and wholesaler, and plans are being laid
and carried out which benefit all. An
advertising fund has been created and
the "Say it with Candy" man, etc., will
have to go some to work in edgeways at
Cincinnati.

The greatest feature of the season, due
to organization and one that all who read
will agree is highly worthy of mention,
and might be taken up elsewhere, with
great results, was the florists' outing,
July 12. Business and pleasure were
connected in such a way that it was all
pleasure. A beautiful spot some 30 miles
from the city was chosen ; stores were
all closed at 9 a.m., with notices in the
window to that effect, and growers and
retailers and wholesalers, having had
their Fords polished up and decorated
with flowers, flags, and banners (Say it
with Flowers) all gathered along the
■wholesale square and at 9.35, five min-
utes after the time agreed upon, started
a parade through the city, out over Price
Hill, and on to Laughery's Park. Along
the way others joined in line and on the
grounds we counted 160 machines, each
carrying at least six florists and friends.
As an affair combining business adver-
tising, and pleasure it has never been
■equaled.

Many prizes were given as rewards to
winners in games and races and follow-
ing are a few of them :

Westchester (N. Y.) and Fairfield
(Conn.) Hort. Society

The monthly meeting of the above so-
ciety was held in the Y. M. C. A. build-
ing, Greenwich, Conn., on Tuesday, July
11, a large number of members attend-
ing.

The committee elected to get in touch
with the Tarrytown Horticultural Society
and arrange the annual dinner and field
day of the combined societies, reported
that it had been arranged to hold same
early in August, Roton Point being decid-
ed upon, as the most appropriate place.

Several new members were elected. T.
J. Bulpitt was elected corresponding sec-
retary to succeed H. Jones, whose
resignation was accepted with regret re-
cently.

Interesting discussions took place such
as the growing of Dahlias; the effect of
the June bug larva? on lawns and reme-
dies for same.

The monthly flower show for members
held in connection with this meeting was
well filled; first prize was awarded John
D. Wilson, Gloxinias; second, James
Tough, Lobelia cardinalia; third, Wm.
Smith, Gloxinia; fourth, F. F. Bulpitt,
Gladiolus Halley. Several other inter-
esting exhibits were set up by various
members.

The eleventh annual flower show of this
society will be held in the Y. M. C. A.
Building during September; this bids fair
to be the largest exhibition of its kind
ever held in the East.

contact with lime, consequently when
Rhododendrons are planted in calcareous
soil, the fungus dies and the Rhododen-
drons die also, because they are depen-
dent upon the fungus.

On the Chinese mountains, the fungus,
by some wronderful provision of nature,
not being able to thrive in the limestone
soil, changed its habitat and fastened
upon the foliage thus becoming a myco-
phyllon instead of a mycorrhiza and so
the Rhododendrons are able to secure
their nitrogen which the fungus col-
lects from the atmosphere instead of the
soil, and gives to its host in return for
the home the latter affords.

Touching upon the culture of the small
leaved Asiatic species, Sir Herbert states
that the larger growing sorts should
never be planted less than 60ft. to 100ft.
apart.

R. campanulatum growing in Perth-
shire, raised from seed in 1S23, is now
30ft. high and 150ft. in circumference.

Mulches of fresh, fallen leaves 1ft.
thick were recommended ; these should
be allowed to decay in situ as they pre-
vent drying out and supply nourishment.
Farmyard manure was superfluous, and
it tended to encourage vermin. Peat is
not at all essential, but it has one ad-
vantage in that it does not encourage
insects as does leafmold.

Chinese Rhododendrons

Sir Herbert Maxwell of Montreith,
West Scotland, well known as a great
authority on rare shrubs and trees, was
recently lecturing at Edinburgh. The
Gardeners' Chronicle, London, gave a
fairly extensive report of his remarks on
Rhododendrons.

As yet, the full extent of the Rhodo-
dendron family is not yet known. Wil-
son, Henry, Forrest, Farrer and others
have introduced from China, many hun-
dreds of new species ranging from tiny
creeping forms to others like R. gigan-
teum, which grows SOft. tall. Some of
these species are highly ornamental ;
others are of botanical interest only.

Most of these new species from west-
ern China thrive and flower in Great
Britain if protected from wind. The test
of their hardiness is R. arboreum ; where
this species will grow none of the new
Chinese species need fear, providing the
wind is kept away. They do not fear
frost, most of them come from ranges
5000ft. to 15,000ft. up. But where Win-
ters are alternately mild and cold as in
western Scotland, these Rhododendrons
may never flower. If the Winter's cold
is sufficient to keep them dormant, they
will flower well, but if early growth
starts, they are apt to be frosted in
March or April.

Sir Herbert mentioned that the gen-
eral run of Rhododendrons are unable
to thrive on land with more than a trace
of lime, but Wilson, Forrest and others
discovered that many of the species in
China were growing on limestone most
luxuriantly.

Forrest on investigation found that
these plants had on the underside of the
leaves, and also on the young growths,
the same fungus mycelium which is usu-
. ally found on the roots of Rhododendrons
and other plants of a similar nature.
This fungus is killed when brought in

Perennials and Biennials

T. H., Conn.

— Canterbury Bells, Campanula medium,
is certainly a biennial, as the plants al-
ways die after flowering. It is sometimes
possible to get growths from the plants
that might be rooted as cuttings, but this
is unusual. Sweet Williams, Dianthus
barbatus, is a tender perennial, and only
in mild climates will it survive after
blooming. It is invariably treated as a
biennial even in Europe, because old
plants are scraggy and less effective.

Botanically, however, it is a perennial,
as is the Snapdragon, Antirrhinum, but
the latter is best treated as an annual.
The exhibit including Canterbury Bells
should have been disqualified, assuming,
of course, it was true form and not C.
persicifolia or one of the other perennial
forms. These are oftentimes called Can-
terbury Bells by people who do not ob-
serve the distinction between one and the
other.

Plant Ash and Fertility

H. W. C, N. Y.

■ — We have no data on plant ash analy-
sis. Liebig, the famous chemist, at one
time had great faith in the compiling of
artificial fertilizers according to the plant
ash analysis, and we believe a complete
book on the subject was published in
Europe many years ago.

Later experiments, however, proved the
analysis theory of no account. Twenty-five
years or more ago skilled chemists and
plantsmen proved that the ash content
of plants is no criterion of their ma-
nurial needs.

Plants cannot discriminate between soil
substances, and anything that is in the
form of solution is taken up by the roots
whether it is serviceable to the plant or
not.

To use the words of many of the best
authorities, the composition of a plant's
ash affords no sort of indication as to
the composition of a manure best suited
to its needs. If you want to find out the
best manures for certain plants on your
own soil, you will need to carry out many
experiments. Experimenting is the only
safe and certain means of finding out just
what plants need on a certain soil. It
means a lot of work, but it is tremendous-
ly interesting.

Raising the Blue Lace Flower

Editor Florists Exchange:

Answering the query about Blue Lace
Flower, I have raised hundreds, using a
very sandy soil. I lost about one per cent.
Had no trouble with them at all, but they
will damp off unless you grow them in
well drained pots or bench and keep on
dry side. An overdose of water at any
time will cause damping. L. Bisset.

Seattle Rose Society

Ninth Annual Show, June 28-29

Last year I had the pleasure of giving
my impressions of this show from a judge's
point of view; this year as compiler of
statistics relating to entries and varie-
ties, I was enabled to get a closer insight
into the workings of this society. Last
year, by the quotation of certain facts and
figures I endeavored to show that Seattle
was fairly entitled to be known as the
"City of Roses."

This year the local Chamber of Com-
merce has adopted as its slogan, "The
Flower City," but the Rose is pre-emi-
nently the leading flower. I do not think
that in any place in this wonderful United
States, can be found a spot where Mother
Nature has so lavishly endowed it with the
qualities necessary for successful Rose
growing as those existing in the vicinity
of this city.

What causes me wonder is why commer-
cial Rose growers pass it by. We are un-
fortunate here in having among us sev-
eral European rosarians of long experi-
ence; all are unanimous in their opinion
of the suitability of this vicinity for
Roses; all of them are showing their
faith in their opinions by having Rose
gardens. Every rosarian knows that
Roses vary under different climatic con-
ditions; that many Roses of European
parentage have been declared unsuitable
for American gardens owing to their non-
adaptability to our various climatic
changes, yet here we revel among hun-
dreds of these latter varieties.

I hate to use hard, dry figures in con-
necection with a Rose show, but I believe
in this ease they will prove interesting
reading:

1921 1922
Number of entries in Rose

classes, amateur 640 852

Number of classes for Roses.... 51 49
Number actually competing in

amateur Rose classes 96 110

Trade Exhibits 5 9

Number of visitors passing turnstiles
on the two days during which show was
open, 18,920.

The exhibits and trade displays of our
local nurseries and florists were of high
excellence, especially when one considers
that for five weeks previous to the show,
dry hot weather has prevailed; this also
applies to the amateur classes, but the
majority of tbesd exhibitors had the
benefit of the city water supply. Mildew

and insect pests have been in greater evi-
dence this season, but the splendid qual-
ity of both the foliage and blooms as ex-
hibited speak volumes for the attention
bestowed on their bushes by the exhib-
itors. The officials of the Rose Society
are strictly amateurs and the show is
strictly an amateur show, but it was very
gratifying to notice the live interest taken
in the show by members of the trade on
this occasion. The floor space occupied by
trade exhibits was more than twice the
amount occupied last year, while the ex-
hibits themselves were more pretentious
and interesting.

Owing to the continued dry weather
and also to the fact that prior to this
spell of hot weather, a period of cold wet
weather had prevailed, which had caused
the officials to alter the show dates from
June 14 and 15, to June 28 and 29. A
very pessimistic feeling prevailed, doubt
being freely expressed as to whether some
classes would fill at all. Under the circum-
stances, the heavy entry list and the ex-
cellent all around quality are especially
satisfactory to all concerned.

It will interest trade readers to know
that Honeymoon, a very beautiful deep
chrome yellow bloom, originated by Frank
Schervenka, Woodland Park Floral Co.,
Cumner, Wash., obtained the blue award
in the class for best Seedling not yet in
commerce. This variety was staged both
in vases and as a basket, and its clean
foliage and brilliant color, both in bud
and expanded bloom, drew many favorable
remarks from visitors. The hybrid per-
petual classes were generally well filled
and as last year it was noticed that ex-
hibits in this section were confined to
about half a dozen of the better known
varieties.

Hybrid Teas Dominant

The Hybrid Tea section was particular-
ly strong, and included 20 classes, all
well filled. The range of varieties staged
was remarkable. A very noticeable fea-
ture was the number of exhibitors who
depended on that fine Rose, Mrs. Joseph
H. Welch, to pull them through. In Class
21, for the best pink H. T. there were
56 entries with 21 varieties. Mrs. Joseph
H. Welch being represented by 11 entries.
Mrs. A. A. Phinney's splendid bloom took
first award and the gold medal for best
bloom in the show. Almost every va-
riety worth while was represented; even
the much talked of Queen Alexandra with
its wonderful cerise and old gold reverse
was shown. Altogether the amateurs of

Seattle fully demonstrated that all kinds
of Roses thrive with them.

The judges, who had no sinecure po-
sition, were: Roland Gamwell, Belling-
ham. Wash.; Dr. S. S. Sulliger, Kent;
F. A. Gillett, Hoquiam; Wm. E. Sher-
brooke, Kirkland, and C. F. Morisse, Ta-
coma, Wash. Miss C. F. Reynolds and
Miss Francis Birkman of the Art De-
partment, Seattle High School, judged the
basket classes and all exhibits staged for
artistic effect.

Trade Exhibits

Bonnell's Nursery had a well arranged
formal Rose garden, occupying space
30ft.x30ft.; this exhibit was well grouped
and included 125 pot grown Roses, among
which were many old time favorites as
well as later varieties. Iris Kaempferi
in a border, 30ft.x4ft., were also shown
and a nice group of the rarer evergreens.
The whole constituted a very creditable
display.

Tom Wylie excelled himself in his ex-
hibit of hardy perennials; he occupied
a space 36ft.xl5ft., arranged in tiers from
the ground up to a height of 12ft. The
new Pinks Allwoodii Jean, Robert, Mary
and Harold were much in evidence, of
fine quality and remarkably free flowering.
Large vases of Sidalcea rosea, Heliopsis
Pitcheri, CEnothera riparia, Geum, Mrs.
Bradshaw, Eremurus Elwesii, and other
choice things were notable.

Malmos Nursery staged a neatly ar-
ranged exhibit of clipped ornamentals in-
cluding Boxwoods and Laurels in vari-
ous shapes; also Lonicera Nitida, and
tub plants of Kalmia latifolia in bloom,
while W. E. Sherbrooke, Kirkland, Wash.,
had a collection of Iris Ktempferi and
nicely arranged box exhibit of 75 varie-
ties of Roses.

Richmond Nurseries, Richmond Beach,
Wash., had a well set up exhibit of hardy
perennials and Roses; a large center vase
contained 50 spikes of Delphinium Bella-
donna, very fine; Delphinium hybrids, and
D. Nudicale. Campanula grandi, Lychnis
Haageana Gaillardia grandiflora, Antirrhi-
num, Suttons Apricot, Viola and Apricot
Queen, very effective under artificial light,
were noticed among the hardy flowers.
Golden Emblem, F. F. Crozier, Duchess
Wellington, Crusader, Prince Charming,
' Mrs. Weyms Quinn, Mme. Ed. Herriott,
Frank Dunlop, Hon. Ida Bingham, K. of
K. and Queen Beatrice were the pick of
the 50 varieties of Roses exhibited.

The Whitney Rose Nursery had an

uptodate collection of Roses, though not
quite equal to their last year's exhibit,
probably due to hot dry weather. Still
it was very representative, containing such
varieties as Imogen Titania, Emily Gray,.
Flame of Fire, Mrs. Stewart Clark and
Paul's Scarlet Climber were among the
newer sorts.

Chapman's Garden Store had a nice
lot of Roses, plainly labelled and attrac-
tively staged, while Hollywood Gardens
set up a nice florists display in which Ci-
botiums, Bostons, Adiantums and Kentias
intermixed with Delphinium Belladonna
and Gladioli in soft yellow were arranged.

Rosaia Bros, had an attractive display
of baskets of Roses, Gladioli and Sweet
Peas. The award for best basket of Roses,
professional, was given an exhibit pre-
pared by them.

The various classes for hardy flowers,
of which there were several, including one
for the best basket of perennials, and an-
other for the best bouquet of flowers,
were well filled and excellently contested,
many of the artistic arrangements being
very effective. The interest being taken
locally by the amateur element in the
various trade displays of this class of
flower is very noticeable and very encour-
aging to the trade growers.

Many tourist visitors were quick
to realize the reasons for such a wealth of
bloom being available. A gentleman from
Chicago told the writer he grew several
thousand Roses there for his pleasure and
thought he grew them well, but that after
going through this show, the comparison
in quality made him feel sick.

Rose Trials for Seattle

In this regard, we would appreciate a
visit for our next show from the officers
of the American Rose Society and some
of the prominent eastern rosarians. What
a breath of life it would be to the hard
working officers of our local society to
entertain and enjoy the constructive
criticism of these world famed experts.
We believe their interest in the work ot
the various local societies on this Coast
would be greatly increased by such a
visit, and that the membership of the Na-
tional society would also be increased.
Cannot something be done toward the
realization of such a visit?

At time of writing this we are able
to state that arrangements have been con-
cluded with the City Parks Board whereby
the Seattle Rose Society will be allotted
acreage in Woodland Park for a local
Rose garden similar to that at Portland,

Trade Notes

The past week has been one of unusual
activity for the season of the year, owing
■ to heavy funeral work. There is a plenti-
I ful supply of stock of good quality, much
improved by the recent rains and cooler
weather. Gladioli are coming in strongly
and are of excellent quality, also early
Asters. Calendula, Penstemon, Gaillardia,
Zinnias and many of the more popular
annuals are now to be had. Roses and
Carnations are still in good supply, but
the quality is rather poor.

A variety of flowers is to be had at
the City Market. Gladioli, Irises and
Daisies lead in popularity, prices ranging
as low as 10c. a bunch to 30e. for Gladioli.

Fire at Vesey's

Fire, believed to be of incendiary
origin, destroyed a frame barn and did
other considerable damage to one of the
Rose houses of W. J. & M. S. Vesey.
Several wagons and farm implements and
a quantity of fertilizer were destroyed,
the damage being estimated around $1000.
Fred. W. Clements, watchman at the
greenhouses, said he made his rounds at
11 o'clock, and discovered no signs of
fire. Scarcely more than half an hour
later the barn was enveloped in flames.
By the time the firemen arrived, the fire
had gained good headway. Two weeks
ago an attempt was made to set fire to
the barn, the watchman said. At that
time the blaze was discovered and ex-
tinguished without any damage.

The Doswell Floral Co: report a busy
week with funeral work. Many lovely
pieces have been made.

The Blossom Floral Co. furnished flow-
ers for the openings of two new stores
this week. This firm also supplied Carna-
tions and Roses for the Wolf & Dessauer

picnic.

Louisville, Ky.

The past week has been "fair," ac-
cording to local dealers, which puts it in
the same category with usual Summer
weeks, neither good nor bad; just one of
those medium weeks which persuade a
florist to stay in business until cold weath-
er comes. The gradual growth of local
prosperity continues. Bank clearings,
which during June gained more than $1,-
000,000 a day over June of last year, con-
tinue their happy way. More money is
in circulation and there is a greater wil-
lingness to part with it. Bank savings,
postal receipts, and all other indications
of the volume of general trade show the
same indications of brisk Summer busi-
ness. These same conditions indicate a
prosperous Fall and Winter; the general
outlook was never more encouraging.

Stocks are coming in in good shape.
Gladioli are at the height of their glory.
Asters are beginning to show up and sug-
gest unusual promise this year.

Florists Meeting

The problem presented by the
alarming growth of the "Omit all flowers"
practice was touched on but no action
taken at the July meeting of the Ken-
tucky Society of Florists held Wednes-
day at the greenhouses of Milton Reimers,
president. Mr. and Mrs. Reimers acted
host and hostess to the organization;
about 45 members were present.

President Reimers brought up the sub-
ject of "Omit all flowers," but as the
meeting was held outdoors and a rain-
storm threatened to catch members at any
moment, the meeting was made as short
as possible. Routine business was dis-
posed of and refreshments were served.

The annual picnic to be held Aug. 10,
was the center of attraction and discus-
sion. Final arrangements for the affair
were completed. Special efforts will be
made to have a larger number of mem-
bers and guests present this year. If a
sufficient number turns up at the picnic

grounds, the society may give a dance in
the Fall.

Although the matter was not acted
upon at the meeting, Louisville florists
are wide awake to the danger of the
growing practice of omitting flowers at
funerals. President Reimers asked mem-
bers to give the problem their attention
and at the earliest meeting present their
suggestions. It is pointed out that hasty
action in such a delicate matter, where
the public may easily misconstrue the mo-
tives of florists, is worse than no action
at all, and that action should be taken
only after the most deliberate considera-
tion. On the other hand, there is great
danger in delaying action until the grow-
ing movement has reached such propor-
tions that only the most strenuous effort
will overcome its momentum.

Of the various suggestions that have
been made, Secretary Joe Able of the
C. P. Thompson Co., has presented what
is probably the most feasible plan. "The
Society ought to lay aside a sum of money
for the express purpose of conducting an
educational campaign through the news-
papers," Mr. Able said, in outlining his
plan. The campaign will consist of a
series of advertisements tactfully present-
ing the real value of flowers at a funeral.
The ads would have to be carefully
planned and carefully written, as the
least unfortunate word would destroy the
whole value of the campaign and work
more harm than good. Such a campaign,
according to Mr. Able, would enlighten
the public as to the real use of flowers
and to an active appreciation^ of the^ flo-
rists' service. It would inspire a little
thinking on the part of the public before
it insisted on omitting flowers.

William Walker, of Edith Walker and
Brothers, has suggested that a committee
of florists be appointed to wait on a
committee from the local undertakers' as-
sociation in an effort to obtain their full
cooperation. It is felt in some quarters
that the present situation may be due to
a misunderstanding on the part of local
undertakers, as it is they who write the

death notices and in most eases suggest
that flowers be omitted or permitted. If
a proper understanding may be arrived
at with the undertakers, it is probable
that the situation would be considerably
alleviated.

Odd Notes

Local florists are in pretty good
shape in regard to their coal supplies.
Most of them, warned by the experience
of other years, have laid in their Winter
stocks and are prepared in a measure
against anv shortage that may develop as
a result of the coal strike. Supplies are
getting shorter here and the price has
advanced a dollar in the past week.

Mr. and Mrs. Matt Schilz of Laporte,
Ind . were in the city last week calling
on their friends in the trade. Both are
widelv known here. Mr. Schilz repre-
sents'the Ove-Gnatt Co., of Laporte, manu-
facturers of florists supplies.

Louis G. Pleiss and Einil YValthers ap-
peared at the recent meeting of the Ken-
tucky Society of Florists in new Stude-
baker touring cars.

Herman Kleinstarink has returned from
South America, where he spent several
months visiting places of interest.

Dave Walker, of Edith Walker and
Brothers, who has been operating a branch
florists' shop in the Sanitary Market build-
ing, is leading the fight of six occupants
of the building to resist its closing It
was recently announced by the manager,
that the building was not making money
and that it would be permanently closed
and converted to other uses. However,
the Market Flower Shop and five other
retail dealers, have five-year leases on
their shops and will refuse to vacate, ac-
cording to Mr. Walker, who has been au-
thorized to speak for them. He said that
two weeks ago these six asked to be re-
leased from their contracts, but that the
management at that time refused to let
them vacate. Now, he says, they will
stay despite the fact that business has
been greatly harmed by the announce-
ment that the market would close.

Something Dillerent in Arrangement and Design That Successfully Solves

, a Definite Local Problem.,,.. , , ,.»„„,» ,

By B. S. BROWN

IlllirillllllMIIIMIIIDtlllllllttllllltlHIIIIMIllllllMltllll

FARSIGHTED planning by florists and landscape
architects has one of its most striking demon-
strations in the establishment of Smith & Heakin
at 4Sth St. and Broadway, in the Sunset Hill district,
the high-class residential section of Kansas City, Mo.

A. E. Smith and H. L. Heakin organized their
company in 1919, selecting the Sunset Hill district
for their location. In their plans for office and houses,
they were looking to the future decades and not to
immediate splurging, so they went to
J. C. Nichols, head of the company de-
veloping the district. Together they
then worked out their plans in co-
operation with the several department
heads of the Nichols organization. The
architectural adviser of the Nichols
Co., for instance, studied the Smith
& Heakin project and made many sug-
gestions as to the location of the build-
ings, and the design of the office and
store structure. The latter must be
viewed in the light of the ultimate ef-
fect produced by the complete estab-
lishment.

Because the establishment was de-
signed to fit into its environment — a
picturesque spot in a high-class resi-
dential district — the architecture was
planned to avoid a too commercial as-
pect. The office and shop building,
therefore, resembles a residence or per-
haps, a particularly attractive and
unique inn. rather than the usual store
or office. In fact, it resembles nothing
in ordinary experience, having been
truly designed for its own particular
purpose.

Two conservatories, to be erected
within the next year or so, form the
real key to the building plan and make
clear the full significance of the inter-
esting arrangement. One of the con-
servatories will extend southward and
the other eastward, so that the fraine
structure then appears as an integral
factor in the entire plan. There will
be no effect of anything having been
one end or the other.

Convention visitors to Kansas City should not neg-
lect to visit this establishment, for its interior no less
than its exterior reflects an unusual degree of talent
in planning for ultimate effect. The ground floor con-
sists of one large room and two small offices. The
former contains several chairs, and a desk with pen,
ink and stationery, where customers will find it so

easy to write cards that this item will not be neg-
lected. Vases and objects of art are disposed attrac-
tively about the room, which is surrounded by a gal-
lery where high vases carry plumes, and where bas-
kets are displayed for convenient inspection — dis-
played, mind you, not stored. Upstairs, office and
sleeping quarters at present occupy part of the sec-
ond floor.

The most striking feature of the interior, however,

But the decoration of this interior has been ap-
proached from an entirely different angle, for the
color scheme is of ebony and blue!

The first impression gained upon entering, there-
fore, is negative. There is no tendency for the eye
to rest upon the walls, or the decorative elements.
Instead, under present conditions, it drifts uncon-
sciously to the objects of art, the vases, and the flow-
ers disposed about the room ; and then, quite as in-
evitably, it seeks the brightness of the greenhouses
outside, but visible through the windows.

Now note the effect that is planned for, against the
time when the conservatories shall be operating: the
visitor thus getting a negative or at least neutral im-
pression from the interior of the store, unconsciously
looks outward, through the windows toward the
conservatories. From his vantage point in dark sur-
roundings, he will be in the best possible position to
fully appreciate the brightness and beauty of the

is the color scheme, which suggests an idea
that is probably seldom considered in the
design and decorating of greenhouse stores
and offices. Ordinarily, one finds such in-
teriors brightly decorated, so that they them
selves are attractive, the assumption being,
seemingly, that the visitor must find sub-
ject matter for comment in the immediate
surroundings of the office or store.

What's^New in the Flower Shops

By ALMA E. KLUNDER

AS ONE of our leading florists said recently, orig-
inality rather than expensive stock is the big
note of modern ideas in the arrangement of
flowers. This was beautifully demonstrated in a re-
cent window display, which represented a dining
room setting on a reduced scale as the space was lim-
ited. On a dark blue velvet window carpet the florist
placed an oblong serving table with a glass top under
which was a greyish blue strip of velvet to provide a
soft background for the flowers which were arranged
as follows:

In the center a cool frosted opalescent glass bowl of
graceful shape held a loose arrangement of Corn-
flowers to which a few Black-eyed Susans were
added. Here and there a little Gypsophila gave a
dainty touch, and all three flowers harmonized with
the colors in the bowl. Candlesticks of the same
opalescent glass held Cornflower blue candles. Be-
tween the candlesticks were two tall vases of the
same kind of glass, and of about the same height as
the candlestick, also containing Cornflowers and
Black-eyed Susans. At one side of the window stood
a Spanish brazier (this was just an ornamental
black iron tripod stand, under a fancy name) hold-
ing an opalescent bowl in which, in a glass flower
holder, were arranged blue Canterbury Bells.

To make the window still more interesting the flo-
rist had placed a wrought iron standing electric
lamp on the side opposite the brazier. Instead of an
ordinary shade it had one of a sort of square street
lamp type. Suspended from the ceiling of the. win-
dow among the palms grouped at the back was an
ornamental iron lantern of Japanese design with
fancy blue and yellow glass sides and yellow tassels.

The bowl, candlesticks and two flower vases con-
stitute what is termed Buffet Set. These come In
different sizes and colors. The price depends upon the
material used, ranging from $4 up.

One Of New York's Fifth ave. florists displayed
some Spanish vase novelties — what the trade terms
"Hispana Moresque." They are of highly glazed pot-
tery, heavy and tall enough to hold a large bunch of
flowers. Some are of dull blue with a silver cast,
while others are of a golden tone. The colors are
dull blue, peach, and light lavender.

Iu one of the purple vases this florist had arranged
a perfect bunch of Delphinium, its blue making a
pretty contrast with the color of the vase. In a blue
vase with gold cast he placed pink Gladioli. In the
immediate foreground he displayed other of these
vases artistically grouped, but all lying flat, so as not
to detract from the flower display. Palms formed the
background of this original window display.

I noticed recently another clever and timely win-
dow display in which the keynote was a coolingly ef-
fective forestry effect. The lattice work so popular
now in display work was completely covered with grey
Southern moss which, here and there, fell in long

strands. In fact, the window was apparently "lined"
with it. Green wall pockets were attached to the
lattice, each holding a pretty Boston fern. A mound
of these ferns in the center and a few at the sides
completed an arrangement that was simple, pretty
and truly original in design.

There seems to be quite a tendency to use window
carpets because of the soft effect they produce espe-
cially when contrasts are used. I saw four handsome
bronze Magnolia leaf wreaths grouped on such a
carpet the other day. They were so perfect in work-
manship that they looked like a bronze design in
the center of windows. On either side of them stood
tall vases of Gladioli. A group of palms at the back
gave the finishing touch.

I saw a rather odd decorative arrangement before
the door of a restaurant the other day. It consisted
of four tall green trees — rather conventional in form,
but they are not going to die before their time, if
more soil than usually falls to the lot of a tree in a
tub can prevent it. 'For they are growing in four
large whiskey barrels! Truly New York City finds a
use for everything.

Have you seen the new hand painted Pampas Grass?
The long, graceful stalks are painted in two contrast-
ing colors, silver and magenta, gold and blue, etc.,
half of the lacy fringe being one color and half the
other. One of our florists, who makes a point of ar-
tistic settings, displayed a mass of this Pampas Grass
arranged as one would group a number of flags. The
soft fringe fell gracefully and the different colors

The signpost with its swinging board,
the weatliervane with its gardener and
housewife wielding the watering pot, the
rustic walks, the very type of the doors
and roof, all contribute to the artistry of
the edifice and its surroundings.

Smith & Heakin have operated this
Sunset Hill office and greenhouses for
about a year, doing landscape work as
well as selling flowers; indeed, the nature
of the building and its picturesque loca-
tion lend an atmosphere of "landscape
gardening" to their business enterprise.
They then established greenhouses for
growing, at Leavenworth, Kansas, where
they have 30,000 sq. ft. of glass and eight
acres of ground. These houses were es-
tablished and operated in order that they
might have adequate supplies of their own
careful growing, of the varieties needed
for their trade, and not always to be
procured each day on the market. Here-
tofore the output of the Leaven-
worth houses has been almost entirely
used by themselves, their own cus-
tomers' wants being the guide to
their growing. The company is now,
however, devoting part of these houses to
production for wholesale trade for nest
year, and will therefore buy a much larger
proportion of the flowers moved through
its retail stores.

Last December the company established
a second retail store, at Westport ave. and
Main sts., for the more convenient ac-
commodation of customers in the Rock-
hill residence district, who formerly had
to make special trips to the Sunset Hill
Gardens establishment. This retail store
also gets much trade from its immediate
neighborhood — a congested apartment
house district — as well as from other resi-
dence districts in the vicinity, for it is at
the intersection of much traveled cross-
town and East and West streets.

vista into the conservatories. The ob-
jective, in other words, is the conserva-
tories; and the purpose of the entire de-
sign is to create for the visitor the best
possible conditions under which they may
be viewed and admired.

Yet this is but one of the features in
connection with which the district's archi-
tect gave study and advice in planning
the layout and in producing a building
with many quaint and interesting points.

Colloidal Sulphur

Under this name, a Holland firm has
introduced a remedy effective against
mildew and aphis. Usually, sulphur so-
lutions, unless mixed with nicotine or
other substances, are not insecticides.
The new liquid is evidently powerful,
taking a dilution of one ounce to eleven
gallons of water. Its cost to growers in
England, is moderate ; one pint (20
ounces) sufficient to make 220 English
gallons, costs a trifle under $5, about
2 cents a gallon. Is there an insecticide
or fungicide available to us anywhere
near the price?

This photograph comes from Sanbury, Pa., where B. Hatten Bastian is a

The subject, is a float decorated by Mr. Bastian for the 4th of July Old Home Week parade
and it made quite a hit. We have published quite a number of illustrations of floats, but
this one of Mr. Bastian's is quite out of the ordinary and should furnish ideas for others who

A Florist Inventor

Readers of The Exchange will have
observed the page ad of J. C. Ruten-
schroer, Cincinnati, O., where are illus-
trated several clever little inventions of
great service to florists and to other trade
workers who have to do a large amount
of tying.

Most florist growers have to do much
tying. Roses, Carnations, Sweet Peas,
etc., etc., all call for string ties. The pot
plant grower may even do more tying.
While Raffia is of great value and never
will be surpassed as a tying material,
string has, in latter years, come into
greater use for all sorts of purposes.
Every grower knows what it is to lose
his knife; he may lay it down and forget
just where, or he may drop it while in
some awkward position above the bench.
We imagine J. C. Rutenschroer experi-
enced this sort of thing so many times,
that he conceived it would be easier to have
the string, and knife together in one
hand, so that neither could separate.

The "Nu Wa" Tie is the result of his
reflections, and a new way it is. A metal
chamber for the string, a loop to slip the
hand through and a knife enables a

worker to have both hands free; the string
chamber is on the back of the hand. The
string passes through an opening against
the handle.

The "Nu Wa" Hanger is perhaps Mr.
Rutenschroer's pet invention. It is made
for hanging baskets and being on a pivot
it can be swung from one side to the
other when used for porch decoration.
The hanger is adjustable and a small level
glass is carried on the upper arm. This
level enables anyone to tell whether the
basket is in need of water; when fully
wet, the weight bears down the arm and
shows the level glass at the level. As the
water dries out the arm automatically
rises slightly, thus causing the level glass
to show the air space at the opposite end,
a sure indication that the basket has lost
most of its moisture. The accompanying
illustration shows Mr. Rutenschroer with
bracket supporting a hand bag. Among
other inventions on the way is the "Nu
Wa" Combination set which fits over the
finger. This carries a knife and a culti-
vating claw for benches or pots. The
"Nu Wa" Plunger is a finger planter; it
does the work of a dibbler or small trowel
and saves damage to the fingers. The
"Nu Wa" Bar Clamp is a toothed clamp
that most florists will find various uses
for.

These are some of the ideas Mr. Ruten-
schroer has brought to the practical stage,
all of which will be available to the
trade shortly. One has to watch Mr.
Rutenschroer manipulating the "Nu Wa"
Tie to realize how speedy a tool it is.

The American Rose Society 1

The following Rose has been offered
for registration by the Stuppy Floral Co.
and passed upon by the Registration Com-
mittee:

Annie Laurie, Hybrid Tea, sport of
Ophelia. Habit, vigorous and good; foli-
age, not susceptible to spot or mildew;
growth, branching erect with good stem;
flower, almost perfect, erect and on good
necks; color, flesh pink with gold base,
good in bud as well as open flower; petal-
age, firm and lasting, runs from 41 to 56.

A free bloomer with lasting qualities
and a wonderful keeper, practically no
blind wood. Develops well in water mak-
ing a large Rose. Under close observation
since 1918.

If no objection to such registration is
filed with the secretary of the society
within three weeks after this publication,
the registration will become permanent.

Carnation Otello

This Carnation name may or may not
have been prompted by Shakespeare's fa-
mous character; for ourselves we only
know that the Carnation itself is being
put forward by Henry Eichholz of
Waynesboro, Pa. In recent years Mr.
Eichholz has devoted considerable atten-
tion to red Carnations and in this new
scarlet he believes, and those who have
seen it growing support the view, that
it is truly a remarkable variety. A seed-
ling from Enchantress X Aviator it grows
more strongly and gives more flowers than
any other scarlet It is easy to propa-
gate and is never off crop Add that the
flower is large and it looks as if the ideal
red were near at hand

combined and contrasted favorably. It
made a pretty background for his display
of other highly colored everlasting speci-
mens of flowers, some of which are really
most attractive. This retailer had a box
of different kinds made up to show the
possibilities of these Strawflowers. It
is becoming more and more customary to
place ornamental greens outside the show
window, especially on top of the window
ledge. I saw Ivies effectively arranged in
this manner at the top of a window
whence the vines were trained to give a
tall tree effect at each end and a low,
spherical effect in the middle. Other long
vines falling down from the rest of the
window box gave the store a cooling at-
mosphere and provided a mighty pretty
framework for the flowers inside.

Advertising It with Flowers

The Lehon Co. of Chicago, manufactur-
ers of Mule-Hide rooting and shingles,
made use of flowers to advertise their
product at the recent convention of the
Advertising Clubs of the World, held at
Milwaukee, Wis.

They say: "Your readers may be in-
terested to know that to the slogan of
'Say it with Flowers' can. be added the
phrase, Advertise it with Flowers.' This
statement is by no mean9 a hollow one,
because the Lehon Co. definitely secured
attention and results through the employ-
ment of its big floral piece. The struct-
ure of the receptacle shown (which was
5ft. in diameter) was made of galvan-
ized iron and into it 3600 Carnations were
planted to form the trademark."

The Lehon Co. informs us that it not
only created enthusiastic comment, but
that it netted a nice business for the local
dealer in Mule-Hide products.

July 17. — Every effort is being
made to liven up the flower business in
this section during the usual Summer
period of decreased activity. Most flo-
rists are carrying a good stock of flowers
and although there are dull days it is
really encouraging to note the betterment
over past years.

A few Carnations are available at whole-
sale at $2 to $2.50 per 100. The first
Asters have made their appearance at $3
to $4 per 100. Giganteum Lilies are
plentiful at $15 to $20 per 100, as are rub-
rum at $5 to $10 per 100.

Recent rains have improved the Gladioli
crop and there are some wonderful ones
to be had at $4 to $10 per 100.

New crop short Roses are coming in at
$2 to $3 per 100. Long grades in Premier,
Columbia and Ophelia bring $8 to $20
per 100. There are a few orchids (Cat-
tleyas) at $2 to $2.50 each.

The Market

July 14. — Business conditions have
been very quiet this week; even funeral
work fell off considerably. The timely
rains have made an overabundance of the
outside flowers, and everyone who has
anything in the flower line planted is get-
ting more than their share of results this
year. Even some of the clubs are sup-
plying their own tables, as they feel that
there is more than enough for all. This
has even been the case with a number of
the members of different lodges, who are
supplying flowers for the different occa-
sions. Some of the growers who installed
the Skinner watering system this year,
have not derived the full benefit of the
system.

Roses are getting a little better each
day, and if the weather does not get too
hot, many of the growers will cut some
nice stock in a few weeks. Most of the

Columbia. Prices vary from fourteen
cents for the longer, down to two and
three cents for the shorter lengths. Some
Carnations are still coming in at three
cents, and some of the growers are com-
mencing to cut some of the field grown,
which are being used up in design work
at two cents. Gladioli are the main
strength of the flower game now, and are
the only thing that can be used in the
larger work. The best stock is averaging
five and six cents; occasionally a grower
gets by with eight cents. One grower is
even getting as high as ten cents for
Myrtle. However, nice Halley and Francis
King are plentiful at five, while Lehmann
and Prince of Wales are going at eight
cents. Some of the smaller varieties like
Pink Beauty are plentiful at three cents.
Schwaben is commencing to make its ap-
pearance; Pendleton is very scarce this
season. What Pendleton do come in are
very short in number of blossoms. Some
of the Myrtle have as many as six and
even eight blossoms at one time and being
of such a soft pink, they are proving
popular. Larkspur is fast falling off, and
practically the only one of any quality
that we are getting now is the annual.
These are fine and are demanding in most
cases two cents. Lilies in the lancifolium
varieties are very plentiful. Coreopsis
and Bachelor Buttons are to be had at
most any price. Marigolds, Snaps and
Zinnias are as numerous as fleas in the
Summer time.

Notes

A storm of wind and hail, described
as the most destructive in years, passed
through Hamilton and York counties on
Monday night. The hail was particularly
severe, leveling fields of growing Corn.
Fields that were in the path of the hail
were a pitiful sight on Tuesday morn-
ing. Trees were stripped of their leaves
and in many cases are as bare as in mid-
Winter. Many small buildings and wind-
mills were wrecked. Another storm last
Monday night extended from three miles
west of Davey, Neb., to Greenwood, a
distance of about eleven miles. The only
salvage of the storm will be a part of
the Wheat crop which was in the shock;
some estimate that 25 per cent of that is
lost.

By Telegraph. — Damage by hail, esti-
mated to reach between $500,000 and
$700,000 Saturday night, July 15, in
Pierce County, Neb. Between 70 and SO
sections of the richest farm land were
in the path of the hail, which fell for
one and one-half hour, forming drifts,
followed by a deluge of rain, which car-
ried hundreds of acres of shocked grain
away in the creeks. T. E. Evans.

Portland, Ore. |T

Trade Notes

July 13. — Summer weather, good
and hot, has put the flower business on
regular Summer schedule. The principal
consumers of flowers are now only of the
sad variety and possibly a few tables for
various teas and convention tables. Regu-
lar flower buying for the home is not on
the list for the present.

The Summer usually spells flowers ga-
lore, but the hot, dry spell that has lasted

RALEIGH, N C

McCarron

ROANOKE. VA.

Fallon «8>

Florist

for more than six weeks has put most of
the outdoor stock out of the running. At
present we are really in want of some
good stock. The only flower that is im-
proving is the Gladiolus. This is true
both of quality and quantity. And from
the outlook in the cut flower line, this
flower will hold the center of the stage
for some time. The Carnation is Summer
size, with Laddie about the size of the
regular Carnation in Winter. Water
Lilies are very much in demand these
days, as they are effective in design work
where they are for immediate use.

The Sweet Pea, so plentiful a few days
ago, is now scarce, and those growers
that expected to cut all Summer by suc-
cessive planting seem to have lost interest.
It seems the climate here is too dry for
the Sweet Pea in late Summer. Toward
the Coast it is common to see Sweet Peas
in September that are better than the
ones we have come in early.

Vacations' are in order in most of the
shops. Some have taken to the moun-
tains, and others to the beaches and
watering places, and so now and then the
crews that remain have a little rush to
get the funeral work out.

Potted stock is impossible, and the only
things there are to offer are ferns, palms
and Rubbers.

News Notes

A C. O. D. package that has pleased
Seally Pomery of Clarke Bros, has ar-
rived. All he did around the store, after
he had purchased a new and larger hat,
was to sing: "It's a boy, it's a boy, it's a
boy." Seally has two other children, and
he says he was holding his breath for
fear that he would have three and no boy.

Morrison st. is holding its own and living
up to its reputation as the flower street
of Portland. The Holden Floral Co. will
soon open a retail shop on Broadway and
Morrison. More details will follow when
everything is set and the opening is in
order.

The Florists Club will hold a picnic in
August. The committee has met and will
present a tentative plan to the society at
its next regular meeting. So many places
have been offered that the committee has
decided to let the members choose.

Guy Pilkington, president of the Oregon
Florists Club is at present in the hospital
at Astoria, undergoing an operation at his
brother's hospital in that city.

0. E. Panzer and Nick Schreader are
on a fishing trip to Southern Oregon.
Now that we can't see what they catch,
boys, we can all look forward to unlimited
trout in size and variety. There are still
a few memberships open in the Ananias
Club, and they will be recommended for
membership if they have caught the
proper number and size of speckled beau-
ties. Henry Kahn and F. A. Vankirk
have application blanks.

This writer is going to hide himself and
family on an unnamed beach for the next
two weeeks. So readers will be relieved
of at least one newsletter during the hot
weather. Picture us in the briny when
you are working on a rush funeral order,
boys. H. N.

Trade Notes

During this period of the year,
business is continually fluctuating up and
down. For the past week most stores
had a fair share of trade, although prin-
cipally confined to funerals and weddings.
The B. E. Hammond Co. wholesale house
report business as picking up and prices
steady and entirely satisfactory. Sweet
Peas of extra quality for outdoor bloom
are being received by them from D. C.

Coon, Harper, Wash., who specializes
solely in this crop. Roses are still plen-
tiful with a fair demand from outside
points; the same applies to Snapdragons.
Gladioli in variety, of good quality are
now on the market; Carnations are
scarce, with good blooms commanding ex-
cellent prices. The new supplies brancn
of this house is doing an excellent busi-
ness; stores and growers in this and the
neighboring states find a local supply
house very convenient. Ferns and other
greenery are still in heavy demand in Cen-
tral Western cities.

Among the retailers, business is gen-
erally reported satisfactory for this time
of the year; most firms have a portion of
their employees on vacation. Rosaia Bros,
are receiving a fine cut of Cattleyas from
their establishment at Thomas, Wash.
Fine Clarkia, Salmon Queen was noted
there during the past week.

The employees of Rosaia Bros., had a
picnic on Sunday last, the rendezvous be-
ing at Index on the Skykomish River at
the base of the Olympics, 75 miles north
of Seattle, the auto drive there being
much enjoyed. A ball game between em-
ployees of the store and those of the
growing department at Thomas, resulted
in a victory for the store, although Geo.
Rosaia who bossed the growers, disputes
all decisions of umpire "Pete." P. F.
and George Rosaia and their wives. Silvia
Rosaia, Violet grower, San Francisco,
and wife, and "Pat" and Mrs. Sullivan
attended and report a good time.

Jean Lambley of McCoys has returned
from Portland, considerably elated at his
success with "The Wayfarer" allegori-
cal car he arranged for the Portland Flo-
ral parade.

Woodlawn Flower Shop received a fine
cut of Scabious caucasia and Catanache
ccerulea from W. A. Moore, Beacon Hill,
during the past week. Dave Jones of this
store is on vacation. We regret to hear-
that Mrs. Minch of the staff was rushed
to the hospital with a bad attack of
pleurisy on Saturday last.

Russell Jones of the Hollywood Gar-
dens directing staff is on a vacation, and
is spending it in Sunny California. Plenty
of sun here just now, Russell.

P. F. Rosaia, Harry Crouch and Gene
Sandahl, constituting the Picnic Commit-
tee, have selected the Farmers Picnic
Park, Enumclaw, for our annual florists
picnic, to be held probably August 13 and
at which brother florists from Portland,
Tacoma and Everett will be entertained.
Be sure and bring the wife and family.

"Doc" Harvey Simpson of Hoyte Bros.,
Spokane, is spending the Summer in
Seattle.

Milot Mils, Florist, Wenatchee, was a
visitor last week.

Harvey Lozier, Florist, Des Moines,
Iowa, with wife and son, on a trip through
Pacific Coast States, was calling on local
stores during the past few days.

A. E. Aldrich, representing M. Rice
Co., Philadelphia, was calling on Seattle
trade during past week. He had a

unique display of trade supplies displayed
in the Roof Garden at the Washington
Hotel Annex. He reports business as
booming.

J. Ricketts, Snohomish Floral Store,
was in the city on a business trip the
end of the past week.

Max Reece of Bellevue, Wash., is a
large grower of various Everlastings; this
year he has 1% acres planted to them.

Lehmaier Schwartz & Co., New York,
have opened a Pacific Coast branch. Max
A. Wilten is in Seattle1 as their represen-
tative, carrying a full supply of florists
tinfoil.

In the Seattle July Fourth Floral pa-
rade the local florists association was
represented by a handsome float con-
structed by members of the staffs of the
various local firms. It was a study in
blue and yellow. The wheels, base and
running boards were treated with Genista
canariensis, Coreopsis and Heliopsis, the
upper portion with Delphinium Belladon-
na on a foundation of Cornflowers. A
large umbrella was constructed from
Coreopsis and Cornflowers. On a half
circle in front appeared the words in
white Carnations on a blue ground,
"Seattle Florists Association." It at-
tracted much attention and was adjudged
the most artistic vehicle.

Florists Meeting

The usual monthly meeting of the Seat-
tle Florists Association was held Monday
evening, July 10, at the Italian Commer-
cial Club, Felix and P. I. Rosaia being
hosts of the evening. Dinner was served
sharply at 7 p. m. Owing to the number
of members now on vacation, the attend-
ance was not as large as usual. Harry
Crouch presided and the usual routine
business was transacted.

J. E. Hammond, florist and grower, Cal-
gary, Alberta, Can., who is visiting his
son, Bryan Hammond, of the local whole-
sale house, was an interested visitor. Mr.
Hammond states business conditions in
Calgary are very satisfactory, although,
as with us here, it has slowed up for the
Summer months.

The Market

July 18. — On Saturday of last
week, the small demand for Mowers proved
conclusively that Summer conditions now
prevail in the flower business, and will
probably continue through this month,
during August, and well into September.
Social events and weddings in the city
are infrequent during these months, and
the only really worthwhile demand for
flowers is for filling of steamer and
funeral orders. On Monday of this week,
there was little increase in buying. Around
Tuesday, business in the Wholesale Cut
Flower Market was dead as a doornail.
As regards arrivals of flowers, Roses, Val-
ley and Lilies from under glass and
Gladioli from the fields are the chief
features.

American Beauty Roses are in more
than sufficient supply. Special grade
blooms are selling at all the way from
15c. to 50c. each, and the other grades
at proportionate prices. The supply of
other Roses, though not over large, is
more than enough to meet the daily re-
quirements. Top grade blooms are bring-
ing 5c. to 8c. each, with the exception
of Keys, which are bringing 30c.

Carnations are practically out of the
market. Most of the few now arriving
are very small and of extremely poor
quality. A few of these are sold, and the
rest go into the discard. Prices range
from about 50c. to $2 per 100.

There are abundant arrivals of Cat-
tlyea, which are moving out slowly at
about 25c. to 75c. each for anything worth-
while, though sales of small blooms of in-
ferior quality are reported at a much
lower figure.

As for Gardenias, the demand is small
and spasmodic at prices ranging anywhere
from 60c. to $3 per doz.

The arrivals of Longiflorum and rubrum
Lilies are ample and prices range from
§12 to $15 on the former, and $10 to $15
on the latter, per 100. Lily of the Val-
ley is in extremely large supply and mov-
ing out very slowly at $1 to $4, with oc-
casional sales from $5 to $0 per 100.

In the miscellaneous flowers, Asters are
the latest comers, not only the Queen of
the Market and Early Market varieties
being seen, but also some of the early
Cregos. The supply of these as yet is
not large, but the quality is excellent.
Prices range from 25c. to 50c. per bunch.

The leader in Summer flowers is the
Gladiolus. The arrivals are large, the
quality is fine, and the blooms meet with
a reasonably large demand at prices rang-
ing from $2 to $4, and occasionally in the
case of a new variety of much merit,
$6 per 100.

A few early Dahlias are seen, but there
is very little call for them. Zinnias of
excellent quality are now in the market
selling at from 10c. to 35c. a bunch. There
is a moderate supply of Delphinium Bella-
donna, and a large supply of the annual
Larkspur. Though these are seasonable
flowers, they are moving out slowly at
15e. to 35c. a bunch. Other miscellane-
ous flowers noted are Buddleia and Hel-
ichrysum, for which there appears to be
no call, and Platyeodon in small supply
at 25c. a bunch. To this list of miscel-
laneous outdoor grown flowers may be
added Gypsophila, both perennial and an-
nual, Gaillardia, Centaurea, Marigolds
and Regal Lilies, all of which are meet-
ing with a limited demand, as are also
greens of all kinds.

Vacations

Vacations among the employees of
the wholesale and retail flower stores of
this city are now in full swing. The va-
cation period varying from two weeks to
a month; consequently, as we call at the
several flower stores, we miss many faces
and find the store forces much diminished.
As the flower business, however, during
July and August, is at its lowest ebb,
this reduction of the store forces does not
lead to any particular inconvenience or
embarrassment in the conduct of business.
Some of these vacationists we learn are
spending their time at the seashore or in
the country ;n their own Summer cottages.
These are the more fortunate, or shall we
say, the more provident ones. Others have
to be satisfied with rented bungalows, oi'
with stopping at a hotel at some Summe;
resort. Those who have already returned
from their vacations come back, in many
cases, much disappointed because the fre-
quent rains have interfered with their
plans to so large an extent. It appears
to be the custom in the flower stores of
this city, for the employees to take their
vacations first, and the proprietors later
in the season.

S. A. F. Amendment Committee Meets

There was a meeting of the Com-
mittee on amendments of the By-laws of
the S. A. F. at Secretary John Young's
office, 43 West 18th st., on Thursday
morning, July 13. There were present
at this meeting, S. A. F. President S. S.
Pennock, Philadelphia, Pa.; Thomas Ro-
land, Nahant, Mass., and F. R. Pierson,
Tarrytown, N. Y.

Preliminary Plant Schedules Ready

The preliminary plant schedules of
the 1923 New York Flower Show, to be
held at the Grand Central Palace, March
12 to 17, have been sent out. Additional
copies may be procured by application
to Secretary John Young, 43 West 18th
st. Floor plans of the trade exhibits are
being prepared and will be mailed out
shortly.

We found Secretary Young this week
busily engaged in closing up important
business before leaving the city on Mon-
day, July 23, for Kansas City, stopping
off at Chicago two or three days on his
way.

Among the growers calling in the city
were noted this week Louis F. Carrillo,
the noted orchid grower of Mamaroneck,
N. Y., who, at the time The Exchange
representative had the pleasure of shak-
ing hands with him, was calling in the
18th st. flower market.

The pronounced increase in the beauty
of the present day Gladioli over those
of a decade ago has placed this flower
in the front rank of Summer blooms. This
season, owing to the abundant rains, which
are always beneficial to this flower, the
quality of the blooms is better than we
have ever noted. We find arrivals of this
flower of excellent quality in many of the
wholesale stores, but we noticed some ex-
ceptionally fine blooms this week, of that
beautiful variety, Sehwaben, as well as
other leading varieties, at Edward Bren-
ner's, 43 West ISth st. Mr. Brenner is
also receiving regular shipments of early
Dahlias in considerable numbers.

At the funeral of Matthew J. Cahill,
late President of the Borough of Rich-
mond, on Monday of this week, ten autos
laden with floral tributes followed the
hearse. This does not look as though
the "Please omit flowers" requests so
often seen now in death notices in the
daily papers will ever be very carefully
heeded. The fact is through the use of
flowers we can express our honor to the
dead and our sympathy for those who

For Better City Gardens

The most recent activity of the City
Gardens Club of New York City in its
campaign for fewer unsightly backyards,
fewer waste places, fewer treeless streets,
more flowers, more window boxes and more
human happiness, is a photographic prize
competition for which entries may be sub-
mitted between Oct. 1 and 20, 1922. The
subjects must be actual garden projects
existing in New York City. Information,
rules for contestants, etc. can be obtained
from Miss Frances B. Johnston, chair-
man of the competition committee, 629
Lexington ave.

Gladioli in New York City

Not every seed or bulb merchant in New
York City is in a position to have quanti-
ties of Gladioli flowering around his offices
at this time. That at least one is in this
happy position was demonstrated this
week by a representative of C. Keur &
Sons dropping into the office with a num-
ber of spikes of peach blossom pink and
vivid orange Primulinus types. These
flowers were grown outside the offices of
the firm at 5625 Mosholu ave., near Van
Cortlandt Park, from bulbs imported
from Holland under special permit. Some
thousands of bulbs in 50 varieties are
being grown.

C. Keur & Sons are large wholesale
growers at Hillegom, Holland, the above
address being the permanent New York
office.

Toronto, Ont.

motor accident, has been dismissed.

G. M. Geraghty of Dunlop's is at Pil-
grim's Rest, Georgian Bay. Miss Donkin

of Dunlop's has returned from a holiday.

George Yavner, Arcade Florist, and
Miss Yavner, have motored to Boston
where Mr. Yavner will ic.\nain a month,

has had some effective window displays
including a dollar window and one with
a large tank of gold fish.

The Gardeners and Florists picnic will
be held at the beautiful farm at Evers-
ley on Wednesday, Aug. 16. Arrange-
ments have been completed for the outing,
cars leaving by the Metropolitan railway
at 10 o'clock.

The new greenhouse at Grobba's,
erected above the storage building across
the street and north of the present range,
has been completed and is planted with
'Mums.

Buster Grobba of Mimico is the guest
of G. M. Geraghty at "Pilgrims' Rest."

The Ontario Gladiolus Society will hold
its annual meeting and show at Alma
Colle, St. Thomas, on Aug. 23 and 24.
Valuable prizes are being offered for com-
petition.

Preparations are being made for a big
crowd at the Jubilee Convention of the
Canadian Florists and Gardeners Asso-
ciation to be held at the Windsor Hotel,
Montreal, Aug. 8, 9, 10 and 11. There
will be a fine show in connection with the

Don't Let Flivverboobs Drive Your
Trucks

The American Automobile Association
has awarded a $75 prize for the name
"Flivverboob," to apply to reckless, care-
less autoists — just as the term "Jay-
hawker" is applied to irresponsible pedes-
trians.

Now that the pestiferous breed has been
given a definite name, steps will undoubt-
edly be taken to curb its dangerous pro-
clivities and eventually exterminate it. As
one contributory step, let Exchange read-
ers who include trucks in their equipment
and pleasure cars in their personal
property, see to it that no member of
their firms or families so conduct them-
selves as to merit the approbrious term
being applied.

July is. — The wholesale market is mov-
ing quietly along on the usual Midsummer
basis. There is not much business and
no great preponderance of stock in any
particular line. Not much stock and
much less business cause the market for
the time being to be wrapped in the folds
of general inactivity. Mercury's mad
maneuvers bring quiet to macadamized
marts of flower selling. The hot and
hustling florists bestir themselves only in
cases where the lure of the lucre is too
strong to be overcome by the pestering
proclivity inherent of a torrid July sun-
shine. Inertia reigns supreme; the march
after the mazuma is mild compared with
what it was some weeks ago. Vacations
are still the topic of the flower sellers
as well as buyers. Some are going, and
still more returning. Tales of auto speed-
ing, and fishing stories, the big ones that
got away, are more common on the market
than any discussion pertinent to cut flower
merchandizing.

Roses are still holding on well and con-
tinue a feature on the market. The
growers of Gladioli and other outdoor
stock assert there are too many Roses to
give their stock the showing it deserves.
It would seem as if the grower of every
particular line of flowers claims a season
for himself, on which no other grower
might enter only with caution.

Gladioli may now be said to hold full
sway on the market; they are to be found
everywhere. Some excellent stock is of-
fered and there are many choice varieties,
scarce in past years, now offered in quan-
tity. The primulinus varieties are at-
tracting attention. Maiden's Blush, a
delicate pink, has jumped to the forefront
in a remarkably short space of time. Sun-
beam, a beautiful pale yellow, is a favor-
ite. Then for variety there is the hand-
some Dorothy MeKibben, ruffled and
enticing. • In the other well known
commercial varieties there is a wide
range in color. So far, Gladioli are selling
well, and the price is satisfactory. It

promises to be a good season for the grow-
ers, having thus far opened auspiciously.

After the review of the Gladioli season
there is little else to be said. There are
still a few Peonies left with one or two
wholesalers who stored abundantly. The
present week will, however, see the end
of these. There are but a few Carnations.
The Lily situation is about the same,
enough and no more; rubrums are offered
as well as giganteums. Asters are coming
more plentifully and improving in quality.

There is a good variety of Summer flow-
ers, but not large quantities of any one
item. There are Shasta Daisies, Fever-
few, Cornflowers, Candytuft, Zinnias and
Gypsophila ; also enough Valley and or-
chids for all demand. The situation as to
ferns is no longer bothersome; there is
plenty for everybody, and the prices for
the time being are the lowest in a long
time; $2 per 1000 is standard price.

News Notes

Bert Chadwick of the E. C. Amling
Co. came in from his vacation trip Sat-
urday, to attend to some business matters
for the house. He will go back for the
remainder of his vacation Tuesday. Geo.
Mohn of the same company has started
on a motoring trip, partly for business
and partly for pleasure. George intends
to wind this trip up at Kansas City in
time for the convention.

Miss Gladine Rummell of the Ove Gnatt
Co. returned Monday from a two weeks'
vacation, and wears a slight coat of tan
becomingly. All the boys in the Atlas
block are pleased to have Gladine back
again.

Mrs. W. H. Englehardt of Memphis,
Term., was a visitor the past week. Mrs.
Englehardt had her daughter along to
see the sights of Chicago, as it is their
vacation trip. Mr. Englehardt will have
his in Kansas City at the convention.

Howard R. Lindemood of the Wythe-
ville Floral Co., Wytheville, Va., passed
through the city last week to spend his
vacation in Wisconsin. He will return in
a couple of weeks for a few days on busi-
ness here before going home.

Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Griffin, Hannibal,
Mo., are in the city on a shopping trip,
combining it with their vacation.

C. H. Hollied, Sac City, la., was here
the past week on a business trip.

H. Montgomery, Fairfield, la., spent
several days here last week, selecting the
equipment for a new flower store. The
business of this concern was formerly done
from the greenhouses.

Harry Horn of the Horn Floral Co.,
Fremont, Ohio, was here for a few days
on a business and pleasure trip combined.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wehrmann of May-

wood announce the engagement of their
daughter, Gertrude, to Edward C. An-
dresen of River Forest.

News Notes

H. Hoffman is making preparations
to open a new flower store on West Madi-
son, near Harlem ave., in September. His
present address is 2132 Trumbell ave.

M. J. Rosser, who for some time past
has been operating the Neve greenhouses
in Des Plaines is specializing in Holly-
hocks, some fine samples of which have
been seen on the market the past few
weeks. It is not often one sees these old
fashioned flowers on the wholesale market,
but they always find purchasers.

John Stephens of Kansas City spent a
few days in the city last week. He left
in company with Wm. Langhout, Tuesday,
for a trip to Detroit by auto. He reports
preparations well along for the conven-
tion nest month and says it promised
to be the best in the history of the so-
ciety.

Allan Humason reports his florists' sup-
ply business at Wells st. and Illinois, as
having assumed entirely satisfactory pro-
portions since opening there last Fall.
The entire interior of the store and ware-
house adjoining are undergoing extensive
improvements with fixtures, shelving and
compartments for the storage and dis-
play of the varied line of goods he has
to offer the trade.

J. M. Cochrane has at his greenhouses
at 119 W. Pullman, a fine lot of plants
of a new double white Primula obconica
that will be interesting to watch. The
flowers are similar to the old double white
Primula chinensis flore plena so popular
20 or more years ago. For funeral work
it is particularly valuable and with the
probable scarcity of Paperwhite1 Nar-
cissus, owing to high prices and other
conditions, will fill an important place in
the mid-Winter and early Spring cut
flower market. Mr. Cochrane is giving
this new plant much attention in the way
of propagation so that some day in the
not distant future he will be able to of-
fer this to the trade.

The Hilmer V. Swenson Co., besides
their activities in florist publicity mat-
ters, are conducting a direct by mail ad-
vertising campaign for the Ford Motor
Co. of Detroit. Mr. Swenson states it is
one of the biggest mail order campaigns
ever handled. 800,000 went out last month.
To meet this increased business, three new
presses are being installed as well as an
automatic folder and stitching machine.

As the time for the opening of the
Pageant of Progress Exposition draws
near, it becomes more apparent that there
will be no cooperative exhibition on the
part of the Allied Florists or any other
trade organization. The committee ap-
pointed by the Allies to confer with the
management have failed to come to an
agreement whereby a cooperative trade
exhibit could be made on a satisfactory
basis, along similar lines of last year. The
cost of space as well as the scarcity of
suitable flowers for exhibition purposes
during July and August were reasons that
contributed to the calling off of the joint
exhibition. The Allies have formulated
an idea along other lines- for advertising,
that in their opinion, will be more pro-

ductive for good than anything that might
develop out of the Pageant of Progress.
There will, however, be several exhibits
by retail florists on their own initiative.
Henry Wittbold has already installed an
attractive booth, others will follow the
coming week.

Dan Simonds was the chief actor in a
practical joke played the past week. A
well known wholesaler, knowing the ex-
perience he had with the fictitious "Chas.
E. Newman" last week, who passed a
worthless cheque on him, called him up
by 'phone Monday, representing himself
as Newman and asking why the funeral
piece as ordered had not been delivered.
Dan told him the disappointment was
caused by unfortunate circumstances
which he would explain if he would come
out. He was glad he called him up as he
wanted to give him his money back. The
party said he would be out right away.
For a time Dan posed as the greater
Sherlock Holmes; he 'phoned the nearest
police station and had an officer waiting
in the rear of the store to nab Mr. New-
man as soon as he put in an appearance.
After waiting some time, the wholesaler
called again telling him who he was and
giving Dan a good laugh over the 'phone.
Then another wholesaler called him up,
impersonating the chief of police at the
station, giving Dan a reprimand for
trifling with the police force telling him
to be more careful next time he wanted
an officer. Dan avows that if he ever
gets buncoed again he will never tell the
trade paper men. The loss of the few
puny dollars was nothing to him compared
with the annoyance he was subjected to
by his friends.

Seattle, Wash. — Continued from 228

The Seattle Rose Society in answer to
an invitation from the Portland Rose
Society, sent an exhibit of approximately
500 Rose blooms to enter in the class for
out of town organizations, at the Port-
land Rose Show, June 20.

The show was staged in the National
Guard Armory and was first class in every
respect.

The Portland Society officials accorded
the Seattleites every courtesy and were
indeed loud in praise of Seattle's blooms
which far outclassed any other collection
exhibited. A specimen of the Rose, Mrs.
J. H. Welch, was easily the largest bloom
in the show and at the same time a per-
fect specimen.

A basket of 25 or more blooms was
made up principally of the beautiful yel-
low Rose, Duchess of Wellington; with a
few specimen of Mrs. Wemyss Quin and
the deep toned Sunburst it was the out-
standing yellow basket in the hall.

The vase of the Rose Kitchener of
Khartoum (K. of K., as it is listed) at-
tracted more attention than any other
flower in the entire show. The large semi-
single, deep velvety crimson scarlet blooms
stood out above the lighter colored com-
panions like a beacon and were the won-
der of the Portlanders. On all sides was
heard the comment, "where can we get
this Rose?" and "is it hard to grow?"
"We have never seen it in Portland," and
"I did not know that they could grow
Roses in Seattle." The comment that
"These blooms surely must have been
grown under glass" was heard frequently.
The committee was kept busy denying that
the exhibit was staged by professional
I growers.

The collection contained some 75 dis-
"tinct varieties. The cutting and trans-
porting the blooms for this display re-
quired the utmost skill and the manner in
[which the blooms stood up after their long
journey was the wonder and admiration
of all! The exhibit was awarded first
prize in its class and was staged by A.
iH. Brackett, member of the general com-
mittee of the Seattle Rose Society.

^Airplane Dust Spraying in England

An aeroplane has been successfully em-
ployed at Sevenoakes in distributing an
insecticide powder over fifty acres of
(fruit trees badly infested with caterpil-
lar. The 'plane flew at a distance of from
fifteen to twenty yards over the trees. In
half an hour half a ton of powder had
covered the trees with a thin layer of
dust, and millions of caterpillars had

1r succumbed to its effects. It is estimated
that this method of spraying trees is
cheaper than the old style and much more
effective. — Nurseryman. & Seedsman.

Market Report

The various markets and commis-
sion houses present a holiday-like and
semi-deserted appearance these days. Buy-
ing is mainly in small volume and about
all business is over by 9 o'clock. There is
a fair amount of shipping trade to holi-
day resorts, mainly the seashore and
White Mountains. Retailers continue to
pick up a little business, enough to keep
their reduced forces from becoming
too drowsy. Many employees are away on
vacations, while others are eagerly count-
ing the days until they can load and
start up their Fords, Packards, Cadil-
lacs or Maxwells.

Gladioli are topping everything else
now. A large outdoor crop is now avail-
able and the grade, thanks to abundant
rains, leaves nothing to be desired. The
old America remains the best seller, and
while some days good spikes will bring
$1.50 per doz., the general trend is to
lower values, and quantities of Halley,
Augusta, Panama and other varieties are
sold at 50c and 75c. Until the present

time only a limited number of familiar
varieties have come in.

Roses are just about abundant enough
for the demand. There i9 no fancy stock,
nor fancy prices; a fair average is $2 to
$S per 100, with a few specials making
$10 to $12. Columbia is the best seller
with Butterfly, double White Killarney
and Premier next in favor. A fair num-
ber of American Beauty are seen, but
demand is light.

Carnations grow steadily fewer and
fewer and with orders now coming in
they can scarcely be dispensed with for
a few weeks; most of the stock offered
has a jaded appearance

Hardly any Sweet Peas are to be seen.
Many thousands could be sold if obtain-
able. There are some regale, aura turn
and colaca speciosa Lilies, but hardly any
Longiflorums; Callas have disappeared.
Delphiniums are few in number and poorer
in quality. Candytuft is not wanted and
a portion of the Bachelor Buttons which
come in are sold. Red Coreopsis now is
plentiful; yellow Coreopsis seems .to be
passing.

The advance guard of the Asters are
here, but quality is lacking. As crops
look good in the held, some better flowers
will soon be obtainable. Valley is largely
in the discaid; it needs lots of courage
to get married these torrid days. There
are a few Cattleya Gaskelliana, but little
else in the orchid line. A few pips of an
old time favorite Stephanotis horibunda
were seen this week and carried our mem-
ories back to boyhood days. There is no
finer flower for banquet work than
Stephanotis. There is a fair call for
Adiantum and Asparagus.

At present there is little to be found
in the way of pot plants, save Hydrangeas,
Gloxinias, Adiantums and Begonias, with
fancy Caladiums, palms and ferns about
complete the list.

Club Jottings

It is expected that a definite set-
tlement will be made this week regarding
the selection of a site for the new whole-
sale flower market. The Broadway site
on which an option has been secured will
cost about $350,000 with a suitable build-
ing. Growers have already turned in
checks for about $120,000 and it looks
as if there will be no trouble in financing
the scheme. The Broadway site is not
quite so desirable as one or two others,
but it has ample space for parking aut09
and is conveniently near the retail sec-
tion, the South Station, Park Square
and various tunnel trains.

William J. Thurston, manager of the
Flower Exchange, starts on a well earned
vacation this week, which he will spend
on Cape Cod, where Cranberries, Blue-
berries, clams and mosquitoes are all re-
ported to be prodigious crops this sea-
son. Mr. Thurston's athletic attainments
are likely to stand him in good stead the
next few weeks.

A record crowd is looked for on July
20 at the annual picnic of the Gardeners
and Florists Club at Cunningham Park,
East Milton. The executive committee
has a splendid, well varied lot of prizes
secured and all now needed is good
weather. There are 27 athletic contests
to be decided, including a swimming con-
test, tug of war, quoit match and three
baseball games; full particulars in our
next issue.

C. Kerrigan and Fred Maxwell, inside
and outside decorators at Penn's, started
this week for Maine and Canada in their
autos. Maurice Clancy, head shipper, will
content himself with shorter tours nearer
home.

Chester Paine no sooner recovered from
his tractor accident than he fell a victim
to the whooping cough; here's hoping he
will lose the third jinx.

E. Jackson Rogean of the Flower Ex-
change, with his wife and family, is at
St. John's, New Brunswick, for a few
weeks.

The annual Summer meeting of the
Massachusetts State Vegetable Growers
Association will be held at 3 p.m., Day-
light Saving Time, on the grounds of the
Lexington Experiment Station on Aug.
2. There will be demonstrations of vege-
table tying, of machinery, practical tests
and cuts of beautifully hand selected
plants for seed production. Fertilizer mix-
ing, dusting for insect and disease con-
trol, and plowing under fresh manure
crops. Experiments and tests will be seen
in manure economy, Asparagus varieties,
seed production, effect of Huban Clover

as a fresh manure, Squash vine borer con-
trol, greenhouse Tomatoes and Carrot
blight control. There will be many ex-
hibits, tractor demonstrations, lectures,
etc. A very large attendance of growers
is looked for, especially from the Boston
Market Gardeners Association and Gar-
deners and Florists Club of Boston.

Henry M. Robinson & Co. report splen-
did shipping business to mountain and
shore resorts.

Dolansky & McDonald are strong on
Lilium regale.

Welch's, Inc., are well satisfied with
the first fortnight of business and are op-
timistic as to the future.

Penn's "Duck Farm" continues to at-
tract thousands daily. People now look
for it each Summer and the store has
many advance requests as to "when the
farm will open."

Martin Ware usually took a month's va-
cation each Summer, fishing in Maine and
New Brunswick; this season he. has made
a number of shorter trips and finds it a
nice change.

There is more conmiercial greenhouse
building in progress here than for a num-
ber of years. Very little is being done
on private estates, however.

The Boston branch of the National As-
sociation of Gardeners will meet at Hor-
ticultural Hall on July 28 to complete
arrangements for the annual convention
in Boston Sept. 12-15.

J. B. Hall is no longer connected with
the A. H. Hess Co., North Cambridge. The
present officers of the company are:
President, Philip Cabot; vice-president,
Laurence Hemingway; treasurer and
manager, Dunbar Loekwood. The officers
are a virile and enthusiastic lot and are
hustling for business, which is coming
their way in good shape.

The annual Gladiolus show will be held
at Horticultural Hall on Aug. 12 and 13.
The New England Gladiolus Society will
meet at the same time. Copious rains as-
sure a magnificent crop of Gladioli, but
growers of all crops are at their wits'
ends to keep weeds down.

Walter H. Jolly, Geo. W. Butterworth
and Harold A. Ryan will all give the
Marinelli Carnations a tryout the coming
season. C. N. W.

Providence, R. I.

July 17. — The demand for flowers in
the wholesale market is fairly good for
July. Their seems to be a glut of Roses,
otherwise stock moves very well. Carna-
tions are poor in quality; the best of them
bring $2 per 100. The supply of orchids
is very small, but the demand is also
small, ranging in price from $8 to $12
per doz. Gardenias are out of crop, but
Lily of the Valley is good. Their isn't
any demand for same.

The flower shops have not got together
yet on their Summer closing schedule.
Let's hope they will start something very
soon.

MeCarron, Hope st., is driving a new
Dodge truck.

Marshall, Fruit Hill Greenhouses, is
bringing in a good supply of Regal Lilies,
while F. Macrae & Sons are getting some
excellent Easter Lilies.

Hugh Clark of the Colonial Flower
Shoppe has returned from a two weeks'
vacation, while Mr. Stanley of that firm is
spending his in New Hampshire.

Rose Trial Grounds in England

The R. H. S. is making arrangements
for a Rose trial ground in its gardens at
Wisley.

The soil there is somewhat sandy,
but considering the society's huge funds,
and its past successes with other plants,
it is safe to assume that the trials will
be all that can be desired.

The Market

Very quiet — and very hot. That's
about the size of the Philadelphia market
last week. Demand is low and supply is
fairly plentiful. One wholesaler stated
that in dollars and cents he had done a
better business than during the same week
last year, but that there were no cleanups.

M. J. GANNON

Wholesale Florist

2 South Mole St., Philadelphia, Pa.

Consignments solicited

Roses have never been so plentiful as
this year, and for July they are excep-
tionally good. Good stock can be had in
Russell, Pilgrim, Double White Killarney
and even a few Golden Ophelia. Nothing
fancy, perhaps, but much better than
usual.

Ninety per cent of the numerous Gladi-
oli available are of good quality. With
ideal weather conditions this was to be
expected, although the demand cannot be
said to run to extraordinary heights.

Asters take their place in the market
this week as one of the factors. The
supply doubled the week of July 17, and
most of the stock is of excellent quality.
A few1 Carnations still come in, but it
will not continue many more weeks.

Greens generally are in oversupply, par-
ticularly southern plumosus.

Overproduction

It is a case of plain overproduction
all around the circle of blooms. Del-
phinium and Snapdragon have been glar-
ing examples of ill-advised planting.
Peonies, Gladioli and even Roses are or
have been in much greater quantity than
usual, and no effort has been made to find
a market for the great increase.

The logical result of this cannot be far
off and can easily be foretold. There will
come a time when flowers will glut every
week; growers will be the sufferers. The

Asters

are much improved both as to quan-
tity and quality— plenty of medium and
short white for funeral work, with a
good selection of longer white, also pur-
ple and pink, all of choice quality.

With these and Gladioli, they are
two splendid Summer flowers that we
are unusually strong on.

wholesaler and retailer, while affected,
will not suffer nearly so heavily. The
final result will be the discontinuance of
much glass in the Philadelphia vicinity.

All this is pre-supposing that no effort is
made to find a market for the increase.
This, we sincerely hope, will not be.
Rather let us see the grower and whole-
saler get together on the market problem
and evolve a means of saving the day.

The retailer has his problems when a
glut period arrives. Let him face his
own problems and cooperate with the
grower so far as he can. But overpro-
duction is up to the grower first and last.
If he is going to escape the affects of his
own plantings, he must expect to think
up the way of doing so. The wholesaler
and retailer can cooperate, but the grower
must start the ball rolling.

News Notes

The Philadelphia Growers Cut
Flower Co. had some early Tuberoses last
week, and also some Asters that sold well.
George Aeugle of this concern is reported
much improved, and it is hoped that a
week or two will see his first visit to
the office, just to say "hello" to the
boys. Miss A. P. Schmidt, for several
years secretary of this firm, has recently
resigned. Her plans are not yet definitely
announced.

George Burton, Wyndmoor, Chestnut
Hill, has just bought a 50 acre farm from
the Pennsylvania R. R. Co. at Arlingham
Station. There are 2700ft. of railroad
frontage on this property, and it is Mr.
Burton's intention to eventually move his
entire establishment to the new location.

As a pinch hitter, what's the matter
with S. S. Pennock himself? In the July
17 game, against Craig, Mr. Pennock went
in to bat and knocked out a two bagger.

The Independents protest the July 17
game with the Retailers on the grounds

that the pitcher was not qualified. De-
cision has not yet been rendered by Man-
ager Davis.

Niessen leads the league at the present
writing, with four straight victories, al-
though Bickmore has three straight vic-
tories.

Fire at Median's

A fire of serious proportions oc-
curred on July 13 at Thos. Meehan's,
Dresher, Pa. A large barn, containing
much farm machinery, was burned out.
Several hundred bales of Raffia in the
barn were also destroyed. The fire was
caused by lightning.

Baltimore, Md.

The Market

No one looks for much flower buy-
ing in mid-Summer and it is just so here.
None of the wholesale men are enthusias-
tic over last week's market. The de-
mand was very light, and prices were
very low, with arrivals increasing every
day. Roses were in heavy supply and
many were consigned to the can, it being
impossible to clean up. Some very good
Carnations are still to be had and this
good stock sells fairly well.

The Gladioli arrivals each day are tre-
mendous and are now cheap enough, good-
ness knows, but as a hot weather flower
they are hard to beat. Some of the newer
varieties are most exquisite in coloring.
The grower who has only the old time
sorts is sadly out of luck. Asters have
made their entry and some good flowers
are seen about. The Giganteum Lily sup-
ply is about normal.

Of the miscellaneous flowers, the sup-
ply is fully equal to the demand. The
indoor grown greens are not active. Plenty
of good hardy fern fronds coming in to
the market.

News Notes

Everybody had a glorious time down
Eastern Shore way attending the outing
staged by the Maryland State Horticul-
tural Society. Andrew Andersen reports.
In spite of the terribly hot weather about
400 attended and enjoyed the lavish hos-

equal to Winter flowers. We are looking

tions in the second and third year by Mr.
Lancaster.

Chas. M. Wagner, who is superintend-
ent of grounds at the Maryland Casualty
Company's big reservation, has two Water
Lily ponds, each 30ft.x40ft., filled with
many varieties of Nymphaes, most of
which are now in bloom. Mr. Wagner
extends an invitation to his many friends
in the craft to visit the grounds and
inspect the new varieties.

Robert Gladmon of the Balto Whole-

Sehroeder Bros, are still bringing in

James Glass is well ahead with the
greenhouse work and the place is in tip
top shape. His field Roses, especially
the batch Wintered over from last sea-
son, look remarkably strong and sturdy.
Jim's Hydrangeas are, as usual at this

3000 Cyclamen in 4in. pots are plunged
in ashes out in the frames and do Jack
Eissele a heap of credit. R. H.

Retail Notes

July 15. — While the stores are not
as busy as the bee they are nevertheless
busy enough to know that they are still
in the game. An occasional notable
funeral puts them all on the job for a
few days and all told, there is no com-
plaint coming on the general condition
of the trade.

Every other line of business that ap-
peals to the general buying public seems
to be making special efforts to stimulate
trade both by advertising and an appeal
to the eye through their window displays.
In our business, the major portion of the
advertising is antiquated, erratic and
p:actieally money thrown away; with the
abundance of flowers available for win-
dow displays, they are woefully lacking
in public appeal and it is really a wonder
that sales are as good as they are.

It is the natural love for flowers of
the people that makes for trade and the
slogan "Say it with Flowers," is without
any question a gem. In itself, I do not
think that the regular national advertis-
ing has had much influence on this par-
ticular city, but I do know from getting
around among the .buying public, that the
slogan "Say it with Flowers" is used fre-
quently and that no advertising can come
w-ithin a mile of the direct word _ of
mouth advertising. The retail florists
owe to the originator of this slogan not a
monument, but a token of appreciation
that would make headline front page
newspaper space.

Some people think that a slogan like
this can be made obnoxious, and possibly
it could be used at inopportune times,
but used judiciously and continuously, it
is the biggest asset the retail florist" has
today to increase his trade.

General Notes

Carnation planting is well under
way and in many places completed. For-
tunate, indeed, are these growers as the
advent of cool nights and cloudy weather
are almost ideal to start the plants off.

Last week I mentioned Chas. M. Weav-
er and his Gladioli, not forgetting Ira
Landis, who has equally large plantings.
I had hoped to see them ere now. Hope
deferred, but I do know that immense
quantities are being cut here also and that
neither of the two growers take up ground
space with any but the very best varie-
ties

Mr. and Mrs. Peter Brown have been
sojourning in Germany visiting relatives
and taking in other sections of the conti-
nent. This trip will no doubt result in

Scranton, Pa.

Members and friends of the Scranton
Florists Club enjoyed the first of their
Summer outings on Wednesday, July 12,
at the Beiln estate at Waverly, where
there are many attractions for florists
and those who are interested in floricul-
tiue. The club was the guest of Mr.
and Mrs. John Hill, superintendent of
the estate. Mr. Hill also acted as guide
for the many who visited the large es-
tate.

At a brief business meeting, plans were
discussed foM the annual flower show
which will be held in the Armory on
Nov. 7, 8, 9 and 10. It was decided to
have the next outing) at Falls, Pa., on
Aug. 9. Following are the names of the
winners of the games: 100 yard dash for
men, won by Charles Gardner; 50
yard dash for boys, won by Thomas No-
lan; 50 yard dash for women, won by
Mrs. Charles Graham; 50 yard dash for
girls, won by Dorothy Nolan; Children's
race won by Harold Schultheis; tug of
war won by John W. Beagle's team; the
losing group was captained by Frank Be-
sancon. The tug of war for women was
won by Mrs. T. B. McClintock's team.

The following florists went with the
Scranton live wire Elks to Atlantic City
to the national convention of the Elks:
Louis Schultheis, Andrew R. Muir,
Michael Rovatsos, Frank J. Moran, Matt
Brown.

Director of Public Safety William J.
Vanston and his family has left to
spend a month at Atlantic City; he will
try to forget for a while the running of
the city and the making up of flowers.

King Greenhouses earn a bigger margin of profit.

Any grower who ha» a King House will tell you that his house earns a bigger margin of profit.

The scientific construction permits more sunlight and consequently more intensive cul-
tivation. The best grade of material properly selected and prepared for use and the attention
to the little details of construction keeps upkeep down.

Regardless of whether the design is for semi-iron, pipe iron frame, or steel frame construction,
a King house will pay you a bigger margin of profit.

Write today for information about the house you have in mind. There's no obligation.

Farthest North
and Farthest East

When Mr. L. A. Hutchinson of Caribou, Maine, has his
L. & B. house erected, it will be farthest north and
farthest east of any greenhouse in the United States. Of
course, we have a number of houses in St. Johns and
Quebec Provinces of Canada which beat it out, but we
are speaking especially of the United States.

This house for Hutchinson is our Number Two Con-
struction, 32 feet 8 inches wide and 100 feet 5 inches long.
He will do his own erecting.

For the second farthest east, we are
erecting a Number Two house the same
size for Miss M. A. Clark, at Ellsworth,
which is not far from Bar Harbor. The
way this Number Two Construction of
ours has taken hold is a revelation to
all of us. It shows plain enough that
the growers all wanted to own an iron

frame house, but bought the semi-iron because it cost less.
But how they did buy when the figures showed them that
when the actual comparative cost of erection of each was
carefully considered, the Number Two Iron Frame House
cost not one cent more than the Semi-Iron.

For houses 40 feet wide and less, it simply can't be beat.
Never in any one year of our business have we sold so
many 40 footers. It sure is a popular width. The 50
footer comes next, which requires the Number One Con-
struction. Busy as we are, if you want
a 40 footer we can turn it out for you
surprisingly quick.. Other lines of busi-
ness are a lot better. Yours will feel the
effect. Better have that new house and
be ready to make all the money you can
while it is to be made. If you want to
talk it over, say when and where and
we'll be there.

Take Notice

If your employer happens to be one of the
ones who wants a greenhouse but doesn't
think he has room for it, here is something
that will interest him.

William Ellery of "up Boston way" has two
extensive estates where space is ample to do
whatever he wants done. But when he bought
about half an acre at Brookline and wanted it
to have most of the things he mostly liked,
among which was a greenhouse, the problem
certainly was not an easy one. So the Archi-

tect, Edward Nichols, and Landscape Architect,
Harold Hill Blossom, got their heads together
and worked out a happy solution. The ground
plan below shows how they did it.

Not only has Mr. Ellery a goodly sized resi-
dence with a conservatory, but the above jolly
little range of greenhouses. It is attached
directly to the garage, which as you know,
makes not only a compact fix, but an econom-
ical one. You know we go anywhere for busi-
ness. Or to talk business.

Burpee's New Sweet Pea

MRS. WARREN G. HARDING

"The Harding Blue"

Reproduced from a life-size photograph taken on Burpee's Fordhook Farms

MRS. WARREN G. HARDING is a deep
shade of silver-blue — the color that is already
so well known as "The Harding Blue." The
color is pure throughout with no suspicion
of mauve or rose. The flowers are immense
in size with a broad and much frilled standard.
The wings also are well waved and a large
proportion of the flowers are duplex or double,
which lends weight, size and beauty to the
bunch. It is a vigorous grower. The flowers
are produced freely, and usually in fours.

We originally exhibited this novelty under
the name of Silver Blue. By special permis-
sion from "The First Lady of the Land,"
however, we have now named this most out-
standing noveltv MRS. WARREN G.
HARDING.

F MRS. WARREN G. HARDING is one of

the most admired Early Flowering Sweet
Peas we have ever originated. It was awarded
Certificate of Merit at the International
Flower Show held in New York, March 14,
1921.

Trade packet 50 cts.; oz. $2.50; M lb- $7.50;

IT was a bright, sunny morning, one of the few that
July has favored us with, when I crossed by the
Liberty st. ferry with a piece of pasteboard bear-
ing the mystic words, Bound Brook, N. J. A train
was awaiting me and without further delay, the con
ductor shouted "Booard" and away we went. For my
special benefit the train stopped frequently ; it even
came to a halt on the long bridge that spans the
river and waited so long that I explained to the
conductor I was not desirous of fishing, being without
the necessary piece of string and bent pin. It ap-
peared, however, that a steam tug was disputing the
right of way and the engineer having started without
wings for his engine, he perforce had to wait until
the gap in the bridge had been filled. I have written
a protest to President Harding: such delays on the
railroad are not in keeping with the laws of a free
country. Trains do not tolerate autos which try to
block the line ; such are dealt with quickly and with-
out argument. However, I am digressing.

In due course I reached Bound Brook and as the
taxi driver knew better where I wanted to go than
I did myself. I permitted him to convey me thither —
for a consideration.

Thomas Young's Orchids

My destination was the establishment of Thomas
Young who, as a grower of orchids on a large scale,
has a reputation which reaches out to all points of
the compass. True, there are lots of people, even in
the horticultural line, who have never heard of the
Bound Brook orchids ; there may even be some grow-
ers of orchids to whom Thos. Young is unknown or
at least they may never have seen his establishment
and therefore such people are likely to doubt the
statement that there are more orchids at Bound
Brook than are to be found in any other similar
establishment in the world. Moreover, such individ-
uals are likely to rear up and deny the statement that
nowhere are orchids more finely grown than at
Bound Brook and few places where they are so
well done.

Roses and Gardenias a Feature

Bound Brook has been featuring orchids for some
years — I believe the big range of glass controlled by
Mr. Young was started some twelve years ago, and
that while Gardenias and Roses were the original
feature, orchids have since become dominant. True,
Gardenias are still a big line, two huge houses are
devoted to them and, handled on much the same line
as Chrysanthemums, they probably have no superiors
anywhere. As for Roses, these, too, are no small
item, for one can imagine a house, 250ft. x50ft. full
of Hadley contains a few plants, and there are simi-
lar houses devoted to Columbia, Ophelia and White
Killarney. Actually the Rose and Gardenia houses
make a pretty big range; plenty of growers would
be happy to have such.

Rose Gall Causes No Worry

It rather startled me to observe the numerous gall
growths on the cut back plants and to learn that
these growths apparently had no effect upon the
Roses. Obviously it was so, for the galls invariably
showed at points where young growths had pushed
right through, or beside the gall, and in no instance
were the galls near the ground line.

Introducing William Jones

But it was to the orchids I mainly paid the visit, and
it was among these that Wm. Jones, the manager,
first piloted me. Mr. Jones is not habitually a talka-
tive! man, although since Qu. 37 came into force, he
has* become somewhat famous or infamous — it de-
pends upon how one views the subject — mainly because
he has from time to time openly declared that there
is no real need for the importation of orchid species.
When one sees the stock of these he has under his
charge one can understand why he holds such views.
Selfish ! Well, yes. Perhaps, if one gets right down to
the bottom of things, selfishness is what animates
most people who argue for or against Qu. 37 as it
relates to orchids and, perhaps not a few other things.
Mind you. I am not admirer of a law that blocks the
importation of plants, supposedly because of diseases
and insects, when it is, in reality, in the nature of an
economic barrier. I am dead against the law which
denies people like myself, who desire to get small
quantities of things, either unobtainable here or only
at an outrageous cost, for their own pleasure. Selfish-
ness again :

Why Mr. Jones Favors the Embargo

Mr. Jones, I imagine, cares little one way or the
other as to the operation of the embargo ; he has no
desire to import anything except hybrids of unusual
merit. Mr. Young is in Europe at this time and, likely
as not, in his travels he has earmarked a few things
for which he will seek a permit to import when he
returns. According to Mr. Jones, no commercial
grower has the least drfficulty in importing hybrid
orchids, be they old or new. The powers that be
simply demand proof that the plants desired are
hybrids, and a bond according to the value of the
plants. True, that bond is a sore point, but it is de-
manded as evidence of good faith and, says Mr. Jones,
any man of standing can find a bonding company
ready to put up the amount desired.

What in reality has caused Mr. Jones to take the
line he has, is his desire to refute the declaration
that species of orchids will always be needed for any
purpose and that they must be constantly imported
because they die out. The latter impression can
easily be dispelled if one visits Bound Brook; there
is nothing in the way to prevent anyone interested
in seeing all there is to see.

One Hundred and Fifty Thousand

One has only to figure up how many 3in. to Sin.
pots can be accommodated in four 500ft.x30ft. houses
and eight 250ft. houses, ranging from 12ft. wide up.
Those four big houses hold something like 20,000
plants apiece, and the others hold plants of varying
quantities, mostly all have or will flower this sea-
son. The total is round about 150,000. to say nothing
of the babies ranging from the tiniest up to three
years. A glance through the seedling house, 250ft.x
12ft, where the seed is raised in the recognized way,
on sterilized, cloth covered soil, under bell glasses,
gives one to think, for this house, divided in sections,
contains plants up to two or more years old. He
would be a bold man who would not see at least
100.000- potential flowering plants within the next
five years in this one house. Five years is about the
average for Cattleyas, and it is with these Mr. Jones
is largely working, because they have a greater com-
mercial value as a cut flower, than any other species.

Various other species are grown, however, includ-
ing Oncidiums, Phalaenopsis, Vandas, Cypripediums,
Miltonias. Cymbidiums, etc., but of these, the num-
bers are much fewer because the demand for them
is limited. Even some Dendrobiums are grown, but
these lovers of coolness are not easy to handle and
Mr. Jones is not convinced that it would be worth
while to attempt to get the results with them as he
could in England.

Lots of Experience Commercially

Mr. Jones, who is bordering on sixty, was formerly
a large grower of orchids for Covent Garden and,
in connection with the business, did one of the largest
import trades in Europe. He left England some fifteen
years ago to take charge of the orchid department of
"the Dale estate, Brampton, Ontario, where he re-
mained eleven years, during which time he worked up
what was then the largest commercial collection of
orchids in the Western world, and such is his skill
as a grower, that the Dale estate orchids had a repu-
tation that spread far and wide.

Some four years ago he took up his present posi-
tion ; that he appreciates New Jersey is proved by
the fact that he holds the view that no better climate
could be desired. After Canada, the Winters in New
Jersey are a cinch and, in this regard, Mrs. Jones is
fully agreed.

Although not claiming to have done any great work
with orchids and orchid breeding, there is no getting
away from the fact that Mr. Jones knows orchids
and their culture. The appearance of the plants at
Bound Brook is sufficient to demonstrate this. The
vigor and the depth of color in the foliage is remark-
able; I have seen a few in my time, but I can only
compare the foliage of these Cattleyas with that of
the Yucca : their vigor is almost vulgar, as the late
Henry Eckford's former employer once said when
she saw the monster pods on one of his seedling culi-
nary Peas. Mr. Jones pointed out a small batch of
hybrid Cattleyas received awhile back from England.
The color and stiffness of the foliage were vastly in-
ferior to the established stock.

Proof That Species Need Not Die Out

And what is the established stock at Thos. Young's?
Those who saw it when Mr. Jones took charge are

agreed that he has done wonders. Most of the stock
he potted afresh with his own hands; the increase
that has come about since is due to propagation and
seedling raising. Do species die out? Assuredly not
at Bound Brook. You can see 20,000 Triana? in one
house and they were not all there before Qu. 37.
Some of the original plants have been on the
place since the beginning. The same may be said of
C. gigas, labiata, Gaskelliana and Percivaliana. Not
merely a few hundreds of each, but thousands, and
the stock keeps increasing because the large plants
in Sin. pots, and there are thousands of them, must
be split up. I saw a couple of men on the job and
they will go on at every opportunity because the
plants are shouting for more root room.

It is noticeable that only rarely do any of these
Cattleyas send roots over the pots; for some reason
thev dive down into the pots and, for my edification
Mir* Jones knocked some 6in. plants out; the roots
were almost like Asparagus Sprengeri.

No Record-Breaking Potting Here

The soil? Just New Jersey Osmunda fiber; porous
as a sponge and as tough as wire. It is chopped up
by hand and rammed into the pots in a manner that
surely must test the pots. You have seen an expert
packer at work; well the Bound Brook orchids are
packed on similar lines. No 1000 an hour potting
here How is it that these species of Cattleyas con-
tinue to thrive and multiply at Bound Brook? Due
just to knowing how. Mr. Jones has studied orchids,
and he is not orthodox. He was quick to see that he
could not treat orchids in Canada as he did in Eng-
land, and by the same token, he has modified his
methods to suit New Jersey. Some told him he would
never grow Cattleyas at Bound Brook as he did in
Canada. The same people now think he does them
even better. And it is just this knowing how that
has placed his firm in so strong a position. The con-
tinued importation of stock would not interefere with
this firm to any extent for no imported roots would
ever produce flowers the equal of these remarkable
plants.

Are Species Wanted Any More ?

Mr. Jones holds the view that the general body
of orchid growers, commercial or amateur, do not
need more importations of species; those that do are
prompted bv a desire to sell them, not to grow them.
Obviouslv, if these species were formerly always m
request, it was due to the fact that the plants were
more or less treated like Dutch bulbs ; flowered and
scrapped. Those who, like Thos. Young, have held
and increased their stock, simply were actuated by
sane business-like methods. . "

But are species likely to be wanted in the future r
Mr Jones says no. England no longer imports spe-
cies by the shipload as in the past ; the few that are
landed are sold mostly by auction to amateurs It
is the day of the hybrid and, says Mr. Jones, there
is no reason why one shouldn't have batches of 500
or more of a seedling hybrid which will vary only to
a degree that is of no material account to the florist.

Hybrids Manufactured as Wanted

He has such batches; he can show 2000 flowering
plants of Enid, a hybrid between C. mossire and gigas,
and if he wanted 10,000 more he says he could raise
them by making the same cross. He has solid blocks
of seedling hybrids, 500 or more in a block, all near
flowering size and many well on the road toward
blooming; these are not necessarily new, but are
reproductions of standard hybrids. Some of these
may be superior to the originals because the par-
ent forms be used were superior types to those orig-
inally used in Europe but, to all intents, they are the
same Some newer hybrids of which only one or two
plants are on hand, are carrying huge pods, the re-
sult of being selfed. Mr. Jones says Cattleyas can
be selfed and reproduce their like. He is apparently
in no doubt as to the possibility of getting pure lme
stocks but if any one doubts it they may inspect re-
sults when these various batches of seedlings are in
flower.

Raising Species from Seed Not Worth While

He is equally confident that species can be repro-
duced from seed, but who wants to reproduce C. tri-
anse, gigas, etc., when hybrids are so much finer;
Isked why hybrids have usually been shown as sin-
gle plants, and that years have elapsed before these
ultra expensive varieties could be obtained at a rea-
sonable price, Mr. Jones smiles, from which one may
deduce that $500 and i500 orchids have been made
that way because no attempt was made to carry over
the entire batch of any one crossbred. He thinks the
high price of orchids has been artificially brought
about, due to the fact that orchids have always been
looked up to as the wealthy man's flower, and not from
the cut flower viewpoint.

Kansas City — "The Heart of America"

A glance at any map will show one good reason for
the above ambitious title. It will show, for instance,
the many arteries of traffic including the 13 trunk
line railroads that wend their way to Kansas City,
the 32 subsidiary lines connected therewith, the seven
interurban electric lines, aud the many improved
highways, 22 of which are definitely marked and
named and of which the number will soon be in-
creased as a result of an especially active road-
building campaign now under way.

Again. Kansas City is close to the geographical cen-
ter of the country. But more than this, it lays claim
to such a thorough mixture of East and West, in
its populace, its ideals and its tendencies, that there
results an atmosphere that seems to appeal to visitors
from whatever part of the country they may come.
Census reports show also that Kansas City is among
the most American of the country's large communi-
ties as far as the racial origin of its population is
concerned. Anybody who is a true American, the
Kansas Citian likes to say, will feel at home and find
it possible to consistently fit into the community life,
whether he is but visiting for a few days or destined
to complete his career there.

Visitors should realize that Kansas City is really
made. up of two cities. Kansas City, Mo., lies south
of the Missouri River and east of the Kansas or Kaw,
so that the entire packing house district, most of the
stockyards and the wholesale district are in Kansas
City. Ivans. This part of the community also includes
many industries, mills, steel plants, factories, rail-
road yards and shops. But in addition to these utili-
tarian features, there is now under way a residential
district project of ambitious extent and considerable
interest. This is Westheight Manor — a thoroughly
restricted section lying west of the business district,
on good, high land. It has been carefully laid out by
skilled landscape architects who have taken full ad-
vantage of the topographical features which offer
rich opportunity for ornamental horticultural devel-
opment. Natural forestation, too, will add much to
the setting for the many attractive homes and home
gardens that will soon spring up there. One block
has been set apart for a municipal park and another
open spot will contain a bathing beach, while plant-
ings of trees and shrubs will be fitted in wherever
conditions permit. This project in its present stages
should offer particular interest for the conveution
visitor who enjoys watching landscape developments
grow and mature from their very earliest beginnings.
Also in the Kansas seetion of Kansas City is lo-
cated the seven-acre camping ground west of West-
height Manor. This unique provision for the inexpen-
sive reception and temporary residence of tourists
has already been described in The Exchange. Atten-
tion, however, should be called once more to the two
buildings just completed, in which are to be found
commodious lounging and retiring rooms, a grocery
store, kitchen, laundry and all facilities for those
who want to live a little more luxuriantly than can
be clone beside a camp fire.

North of the Missouri River is North Kansas City,
located in the State of Missouri.

Getting back to Kansas City, Mo., a portion of
which is shown on the accompanying map. we find
the features with which the average convention visi-

Kansas City Hotels

In the following list of hotels, which is by no means
intended to be discriminatory, but which merely at-
tempts to guide visitors to the more convenient locali-
ties with respect to the convention, the numbers refer
to the corresponding figures on the accompanying
map. Thus, on a basis of convenience, three main
groups of hotels may be mentioned, the first includ-
ing the Muehlebach and the Baltimore, which are of
the highest class, and the Bray, Dixon, Glennon and
Sexton close to them.

The second group, including hotels located within
a few blocks of the preceding and on the same side
of the main street, are the Coates, Rasbach, Savoy,
Washington. Westgate and the Y. W. C. A.

A group located west of Main st., includes the Cor-
tex, Densmore. Kupper, Mercer, Sherman and Snyder-
hof.

Rates and accommodations of all these houses
(numbers refer to locations on the maps) are as fol-
lows:

tor will have the most to do from the time that he
lands at the Union Station and takes the trolley car
northward, until he leaves the Hotel Muehlebach at
12th st. and Baltimore ave., on his homeward jour-
ney. Comparing this map with the list of hotels
given elsewhere, one will note the many other hotel
facilities conveniently located with regard to the con-

vention headquarters. Owing to the rectangular ar-
rangement of the greater part of the business dis-
trict, no one need encounter any difficulty in making
his way about nor even in visiting the points of in-
terest located elsewhere than shown on our map.

Finding Your Way Around Kansas City

That's easy. All the streets are numbered.
Downtown Kansas City is so many feet due east
and west, except where it is so many feet perpendicu-
lar. The hilly part starts at Tenth, as one goes north-
ward; everybody will want to walk the Ninth street
hill between Main and Grand, but if anybody does not
want to walk he can reach the post office at Ninth
and Grand, or the downtown ticket offices, Seventh to
Ninth on Walnut, by walking east from Main st. one
block to Walnut, another block to Grand, and then
northward, on the level.

It is mostly level walking, north and south, and
only slightly rising eastward and westward from
Main St. Many elevators in buildings may be utilized
for reaching higher elevations.

Most of the visitors will probably find their chief
interests south of Ninth st., however, so they will
not encounter steep hills to climb or to evade.

It is practically level between the hotels and Con-
vention Hall.

The map herewith deserves some preliminary study
since it discloses the convenience of reaching down-
town points, hotels, stores, office buildings, public
buildings, clubs, theaters and banks.

The Automobile Club headquarters will interest all
who drive to Kansas City, and those who want to find
out how first-class road information is collected and
disseminated. The club has headquarters in a large
new garage — which has a "roof garden" for storage —
at Tenth and Wyandotte sts., two blocks north of the
Muehlebach Hotel; one and a half blocks from the
Baltimore.

The Elks Club is at Seventh and Grand, across the
street, north from the Railway Exchange building
where the downtown offices of most railroads are
located. This was the "Wisconsin" building at the
Chicago World's Fair.

The Eagles Club is between Eleventh and Twelfth
on Central, one and a half blocks from Convention
Ball.

The Kansas City Athletic Club is on Central (third
street west of Main), between Tenth and Eleventh.
The map shows the Kansas City Athletic Club to be
at Eleventh and Baltimore — this is the club's new
building, 19 stories, now a steel skeleton, under con-
struction.

The Kansas City Club, a real "show building," is
at Thirteenth and Baltimore, separated from the
Muehlebach by the Orpheum Theater. Incidentally,
the Junior Orpheum, called the Main Street, is at
Fourteenth and Main, and is operating during the
Summer, with vaudeville.

The Chamber of Commerce is in the Board of Trade

Building, Eighth and Wyandotte sts. : the Chamber

is worth a visit, to observe how the personnel there

serves the business public. The Chamber has about

Notes from Abroad

The long-desired rain has come at last
and as much as 3in. has been registered in
some parts during the first week of July.
As is often the case, when the weather
turns after a long interval, it has done so
in a very decided fashion. A terrific gale
swept over the country, strewing miscel-
laneous wreckage in its track and inci-
dentally flattening down crops on some
parts as if a steam roller had passed
over them. This chiefly affects Wheat and
other cereals, but such a storm, though
perhaps mild compared with the tornadoes
which we hear you have occasionally in
the United States, does not respect any-
thing which may obstruct its path. We
are expecting details from the growers.

The rain, at any rate, will do good;
if too late to assist this year's crops to
a large extent it will at all events favor
the incipient biennial crops for next sea-
son.

Thunderstorms have also been the or-
der of the day in Southern France, where
crops in general will be under average.
As regards flower seeds, Asparagus plumo-
sus nanus has not yielded up to expecta-
tions, but as much was planted, there will
probably be no deficiency. Cineraria
promises well; Cyclamen is turning out
all right; Primulus a little under average.
Bellis and Myosotis have suffered from
the drought and biennial plants in gen-
eral are short.

On the other side of "the Mediterranean,
beyond the precipitation of occasional
thunderstorms, matters have remained in
a dry state, and the cereal crops have
suffered accordingly. Seville Beans are
also reported to be in short supply this
year.

The cooler weather was all in favor of
the National Rose > Society's Shdw at
Regent's Park, London, where the ex-
hibits attained a high level of excellence,
without, however, any epoch making nov-
elty coming to the front.

Cool and uncertain weather has suc-
ceeded the storm of the previous week.
Those Essex growers farming heavy and
low-lying land, say they have had suffi-
cient rain to last them until after har-
vest, but others on higher and lighter
soils, would not be sorry to see some more.

It is already evident that the prices of
biennial vegetable seeds will be consider-
ably higher this coming season, as was
generally predicted during the prolonged
drought of last year. In France there is
a general movement to buy up all avail-
able supplies. There will be little seed
from this year's crop of Beets, Carrots
or Onions. Cabbages, Kohl Rabi and
Rutabagas are in the same plight, the
limited plantations having suffered from
the ravages of insect pests. Contract
prices for 1920 are showing a strong
tendency to advance. Of Leeks, there is
a fairly good acreage planned for 1923.
As regards annual crops there is a large
superficies devoted to Cucumbers, of which
stocks are very low. Squashes are doing
well and also Melons, but of these there
is less planted than was anticipated. To-
matoes are coming on strongly; Lettuce
and Bush Beans promise excellent results,
while the outlook for Peas and Spinach
is by no means bad. Most kinds of kit-
chen herbs are likely to yield satisfactor-
ily and offers of Sage are coming in al-
ready. Biennial flower seeds are, in gen-
eral, not very abundant, though there are
certain exceptions.

Sincere sympathy is felt by all members
of the trade with those Dublin seedsmen
who have suffered during the late politi-
cal troubles. Alexander Dickson & Son's
business was practically ruined, and now
Sir James Mackey & Co.'s premises have
been levelled to the ground. Business in
Ireland is naturally bad and the nursery
and seed trade suffer with it.

Unity has once more shown itself to be
strength in the recent announcement by
the Chamber of Horticulture that im-
portant concessions have been obtained
from the railroad companies as regards
the carriage of plants in pots, the rates
of late prevailing have threatened to
extinguish the industry altogether.

London houses have recently been
pleased to receive the visits from your
side of Richard S. Orr, representing the
Williams Seed Company of Norfolk, Va.,
and Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Darbee of San
Francisco, who are making an extensive
trip through Europe for business and
pleasure. Transatlantic Seedsman.

New YorkJSeed Trade

Carters Tested Seeds, Inc., Thoroughly
Established

Carters Tested Seeds, Inc., now thor-
oughly established in its new premises at
53 Barclay st., is maintaining an excel-
lent, attractive and thoroughly uptodate
store. This is now splendidly equipped,
as the management has been consistently
adding to the equipment during the past
season.

The impression gained upon entering
this store, especially if the lighting system
is in use, is most pleasing and cannot but
help to draw a steady transient trade.
This transient trade is reported to have
been quite satisfactory this season right
up to the present. The firm looks, how-
ever, for a falling off from now on until
the early part of September, when it ex-
pects to have for display and sale a large
and complete importation of the finest
selected stocks of Holland grown bulbs.

Carters Tested Seeds, Inc., is now mak-
ing preparations for the mailing of the
1922 Fall catalog, which will this year
include colored covers. The front cover
page will show a plate of six Tulips in
color — two Breeders, two Darwins and
two Cottage, and the back cover page a
splendid set up of Crocuses and Narcissi.

The catalog itself contains 32 pages
with illustrations and a very complete
list of new and interesting bulb subjects.
Altogether it should prove highly attrac-
tive and bring substantial returns. It is
expected to have the catalogs ready for
distribution and mailing not later than
Aug. 1.

The mailing of the Midsummer catalog
is now under way. This contains a very
complete Strawberry list, also special
perennial seeds and early forcing bulbs.
The advanced sales in bulbs are reported
as fair, while grass seed orders for seeding
golf courses and lawns have been pleas-
ingly numerous. With favorable weather
conditions the firm expects this Fall sea-
son to show a very liberal increase in
business.

La France Raspberries from California

A number of crates of fruit of the ever-
bearing Raspberry La France, shipped
from Mountain View, Calif., on July 14,
arrived in New York City on July 20.
John Scheepers, Inc., 522 Fifth ave., the
proprietor and distributor of this ever-
bearing Raspberry, had been previously
notified by telegram of their shipment
by R. L. Snell, who stated that he would
be notified of their arrival and requested
him to give them a careful inspection and
advise as to their exact condition. Mr.
Scheepers was informed of their arrival
by Sgobel & Day, fruit distributors of
New York City, through G. C. Spangler,

auction for 17%c. per half-pint basket.

Season's First Paperwhite Narcissi

At P. Rynveld & Sons', 61 Vesey st., we
noticed early this week the first Paper-
white Narcissus bulbs of the season.
Heavier shipments o these bulbs for this
firm are expected to arrive this week.
Deliveries of Freesias on early orders
have been completed, and the present de-
mand is good. Cyclamen seed is arriving
in larger quantities.

S. S. Skidelsky of S. S. Skidelsky & Co.,
53 Park pi., expects to attend the S. A. F.
and 0. H. convention at Kansas City, on
Aug. 15, 16 and 17. He has attended
nearly all of the previous conventions.

Edward Boylan, manager at Vaughan's
Seed Store, 41-43 Barclay St., returned on
Saturday of last week from a two 'weeks'
vacation, looking fit to face the large
amount of business that awaited
him. Vaughan's reports the arrival
of Freesias from California and that
they have begun making deliveries. They
confirm the report that the half to five-
eighth inch bulbs are the largest size
available in any quantity. The firm's
Paperwhite Narcissi are now afloat and
due to arrive July 28. The display of
Raffia, both natural and colored, has been
shifted from the Church st. window into
a more prominent position in one of the
Barclay st. windows; it is interesting and
attracts much attention. Not only is the
raw material displayed, but also many of
the finished products made out of Raffiia
and reeds, which also can be obtained at
this store.

M. M. Roth of the International Bulb
Co., 185 Duane St., left the city on Thurs-
day of last week for a vacation, which he
will pass in the Catskills in Ellenville,
Ulster County, N. Y.

Alexander Sehlmeyer of the grass seed
department of Stumpp & Walter Co., 30
to 32 Barclay St., is on his annual vaca-
tion.

Prof. David Lumsden, accompanied by
an inspector from the New York office
of the Federal Horticultural Board, has
been making in this vicinity a tour of in-
spection of items of stock grown under
special permit. He is also taking numer-
ous photos of this stock.

Lilium Harrissi and Freesias

Lilium Harrisii is now being harvested
in Bermuda and shipments will be made
before Aug. 1. A good crop of bulbs is
reported. As regards Freesias, with the
season hardly started the larger sizes are
already off the market, and New York
dealers who supply private trade have of-
fered big prices for them. Shipments of
Baby Gladiolus and Spanish Iris will soon
be made from the Pacific Coast.

Chicago Seed Trade

A. Henderson & Co. report the Sum-
mer business holding up well. Simon
Dernison returned Saturday from the
Southwest where he attended all the State
conventions: Kansas, Oklahoma and
Texas. He reports the meetings to be
of much interest and considerable amount
of business done by the trade exhibitors.
W. J. Sharpe, retail store manager, is on
his vacation.

At Vaughan's Seed Store Freesia bulbs
are moving well. Paperwhite Narcissi
are due in New York this week and will
reach Chicago a few days later. Jas.
Martin, retail store manager, is spending
his vacation in Canada. J. C. Vaughan
talks interestingly of his trip to the
Texas State Convention, and says Dallas
is a wonderfully attractive city. He noted
with interest the large amount of women
connected with the florist industry in
Texas. The house is preparing for a
large exhibit at the S. A. F. Convention
in Kansas City next month.

The Chicago Daily News of Friday,
July 21, publishes a special cable from its
foreign news service, Amsteraam, to the
effect that there is great rejoicing in
Holland over the fact that the recent
visit of Dr. Van Slogtern to Washing-
ton has resulted in important concessions
to the bulb growers. From the Dutch le-
gation in Washington, the bulb growers
have been informed the department of
agriculture is likely to extend the num-
ber of bulbous plants that can be im-
ported into the United States in limited
1 quantities. This extension, it is said, will

good news if true, but so tar, no one
in trade circles here has any intimation

demand for Freesias; Paperwhite Nar-
cissus are due here on or Derore Aug. 1.

Philadelphia Seed Trade

The Henry F. jMichell Co. reports a
good demand for seasonable seeds. Spray-
ing equipment and material is a consider-
able factor in the store trade. Flower
seeds in demand include perennials,
Cyclamen, Winter flowering Sweet Peas
and Pansy. Recent visitors at this firm's
office include F. W. Barclay, superintend-
ent of parks for Cincinnati, 0., and Geo.
G. Milne of Hot Springs, Va.

David Burpee of the W. Atlee Burpee
Co., has been in Maine the past week.

The I. N. Simon Co. reports a quantity
of Southern orders to be shipped from
Aug. 1 on. Cucumber and Pepper seeds
are in demand.

The Moore Seed Co. has recently re-
ceived word from its representative in
France that both deliveries and price of
Lilium candidum were still uncertain.

the proposed rates on grass seeds: First,
grass seeds have always been on the free
list of every tariff law ever enacted; sec-
ond, the real value of grass seeds is de-
termined by the crops produced and not
by tariff duties which may be levied;
third, these duties will result in a cost
of seeds, estimated on July, 1921, prices
to be 17.9 per cent or 59c. per sowing
acre higher. That burden will have to
be assumed by the farmer. A duty of 3c.
per pound means an increase of $1.80 per
bushel on clover seed. Since July 9, be-
cause of these threatened duties, prices
on grass seeds have advanced 25 per cent.

"Some of these grass seeds which are
indispensable to the American farmer are
not produced in the United States on a
commercial scale. They must be imported;
therefore, the duty is certain to be re-
flected in increased prices. Even the grass
seeds produced in this country on a com-
mercial scale are not sufficient for do-
mestic requirements.

"It is further stated that these duties
will benefit only 5 per cent of the far-
mers of the country and that the other
95 per cent will be obliged to pay higher
prices for their seeds."

The Senator introduced letters from
Joseph Breck and Sons of Boston, and
Curtis Nye Smith, representative of the
seedsmen, protesting against the increased
duties. Despite his plea, the Senate voted
to stand by its action agreeing to the
Finance Committee's amendments.

C. L. L.

Shenandoah, Iowa

July 3 last, A. M. Eldridge resigned
his position with the Henry Field Seed
Co. as its vice-president and member of
its Board of Directors. He has been
with the Henry Field Seed Co. for twelve
years past and has seen that concern
grow from a business of $132,000 per an-
num to one and a half million dollars
per annum. Regretting to leave Henry
Field and Shenandoah, he pays likewise
a wonderful tribute to the head of that
house. His change, however, is dictated
by a desire to start again with a smaller
business and watch it grow.

On July 10 he was elected secretary
and treasurer of the Bruns Seed Co.,
Washington, Iowa, and will make the
change and move his family there shortly.
This latter business, Mr. Eldridge says,
had a total sales this year of almost
$223,000, and is in good shape to go
ahead. He concludes: "The race is on
now. Come in and see us; be neighborly.
Our smile is the same and as we are pros-
pered it will become a standing broad
grin."

Senator Walsh Objects to Grass
Seed Tariff

Washington, D. C. — All the rates re-
commended for garden and field seeds by
the Senate Finance Committee were last
week agreed to by the Senate with the ex-
ception of the amendment striking flower
seeds out of Par. 72. The House bill
provided for a duty of 4c. per pound on
flower seeds, and the Senate committee
recommended that it be struck out, but
consideration of this change was post-
poned at the request of Sen. Townsend of
Michigan, who stated that he had an
amendment to offer.

If the Senate acting upon the Finance
Committee's recommendation eliminates
the duty of 4c. per pound on flower seeds,
this will not put them on the free list,
but instead will make them dutiable un-
der the socalled catch-all provision read-
ing: "All other garden and field seeds
not specially provided for at 20 per cent
ad valorem."

Upon motion of Sen. Walsh of Massa-
chusetts, the Senate took up for recon-
sideration the vote by which the amend-
ments to Par. 761 were agreed to in or-
der that he might register a protest
against the increased duties proposed for
grass seeds.

"I cannot understand why the Commit-
tee on Finance should have penalized the
farmers of thi9 country by imposing such
high rates of duty upon grass seeds," said
the Senator. "The proposed duties can
be of benefit to but a very small group of
farmers and the great number of far-
mers who must go into the market to pur-
chase grass seeds will, in my opinion, be
heavily penalized.

"I desire to call attention to some ob-
jections which may well be urged to all

Nebraska Crop Report

The J. C. Robinson Seed Co. of Water-
loo, Neb., reports crop conditions by the
close of July as excellent in every re-
spect. There is normal acreage and not
much replanting. Further report the
acreage of all seed crops in the middle-
West no larger than sufficient to take
care of orders already on hand, and pre-
dict that with an early frost in either
Colorado or Nebraska, heavy loss would
ensue.

D. M. Ferry Case Dismissed

As a result of the recent decision
of the United States Supreme Court in
the Beechnut Packing Co. case, the Federal
Trade Commission has dismissed, without
prejudice to its right to institute new
proceedings, a number of formal com-
plaints which have been on file for some
time, involving price maintenance. Among
those dismissed is that against D. M.
Ferry & Co., seedsmen, of Detroit.

This case involves resale price main-
tenance and was suspended by the com-
mission, until the determination of the
Beechnut Packing case. In that case the
court upheld the position of the commis-
sion with respect to resale price main-
tenance.

The chief examiner of the commission
has been instructed to institute a new in-
quiry and, if it appears that violation of
law are found to exist within the meaning
of the Beechnut decision, to report the
facts to the commission for determination
as to whether or not a new complaint
should be issued. C. L. L.

Careful experiments made by the New
York Agricultural Experiment Station at
Geneva, prove that the leafhoppers on the
Potato vines are the same hoppers that
are found on young Apple trees earlier
in the season, and that as the Potatoes
appear above the ground, they leave the
Apples and begin feeding and egg laying
on the Potato plants. Arguing from the
above, as some are doing these days, are
we to draw the conclusion that from now
henceforward every Apple tree must be
destroyed ? ^^__^___

It has taken lengthy study and consid-
erable preparation but we can definitely
announce that sample copies of our folder
showing popular bulbs for Fall planting,
all in full natural color, can now be ob-
tained on application to this office by all
who are interested in the handling of
Fall bulbs. All in all, this is one of the
handsomest pieces of color printing ever
turned out by the A. T. De La Mare Co.,
Inc. Not only is the color work effective,
but again every effort has been directed
toward making the color representations
true. Accompanying this effort is the
publication of the handsome sixteen page
booklet entitled "Popular Bulbs for Fall
Planting," which is now ready, and the
intention of which is to enable dealers
to stimulate interest in this early har-
binger of Spring. — Adv.

Bonded Nursery Business

A bill of momentous importance,
sponsored by Senator Ridley has just been
passed by the Georgia Senate, which re-
quires nurserymen in the State to give
a bond and obtain a license before doing
business. The bill was passed by a unani-
mous vote. It is aimed at dishonest nur-

August Borg of the Weinstock Flower
Shop, sailed for Sweden, July 24 on the
steamer Stockholm. He was accompan-
ied by his ten year old son. Mr. Borg
will be gone about two months and it is
only urgent business that induces him to
leave a twelve pound boy who came to
his home this past week. It is ten years
since Mr. Borg visited his home in
Sweden.

Nunnally Co. Ceases to Sell Flowers

The Nunnally Co., candy manufac-
turers, who operate a chain of confec-
tionery stores throughout the South and
in some northern cities including New
York, with Atlanta as headquarters, have
discontinued their flower department at
101 Peachtree st. For the past 25 years,
the Nunnally Co. have been conducting
a regular flower store business, but the
confectionery department has grown to
such immense proportions that it was im-
perative to discontinue the flower de-
partment.

A year or so ago Mr. Nunnally dis-
mantled some of his greenhouses at Brook-
wood, retaining four for the growing of
palms, 'Mums and orchids, which are used
to decorate his nearby stores and for his
personal use. C. J. Reeves, who has had
charge of the greenhouses for the past
eighteen years, will be retained to man-
age the house and grounds. Jacob Wein-
stock and M. W. Stallings, both of whom
have been managers of the flower depart-
ment at the Nunnally store, have started
thriving stores of their own, known as The
Weinstock Flower Shop and the Stallings
Flower Shop.

Mr. Carswell of the Joy Floral Co.
has spent two weeks at the Militia Camp
on St. Simons Island, off the coast of
Southeast Georgia. Mr. Carswell is an
expert with the piccolo and was the life
' of the camp. Cliff Harrison, Atlanta,
manager of the same firm, has been in
Nashville, Tenn., for twelve days, but cut
his visit short in order to be in Atlanta
in time for the big florists' barbecue.

Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Vorkeller of Beth-
lehem, Pa., came through the country in
their Cadillac to visit friends and scenes
of 21 years ago, when Mr. Vorkeller was
with the firm of Waehendorff Bros. Mr.
Vorkeller found the scenes greatly chang-
ed, but the friends were the same old
friends: their only regret was that his
business in Bethlehem called them home
so soon.

Chas. H. Morris, with Waehendorff
Bros., has contracted typhoid fever; it is
hoped that the case will be mild and that
he soon will be convalescent.

Waehendorff Bros, are continuing where
they left off last Summer with replacing
wooden walls with cement; the work is
progressing nicely. Last season they
built over 375 lineal feet of cement cold-
frames which are proving very satisfac-
tory, and more will be added this Sum-
mer.

Gladioli have been overplentiful this
season and as too much of anything meets
with disfavor, it has lost its popularity
for the present. It seems that most of
the flower buying people have gone to the
seashore or mountains and business is
quiet.

Enjoyable Florists* Barbecue

An outstanding event in the his-
tory of Atlanta florists is the barbecue
which was. given on Wednesday, July 19
under the auspices of the newly organ-
ized Atlanta Florists and Horticulturists
Club. It is the first time that all the
florists in one body closed their doors
and went on an outing and the universal
verdict is that it was well worth the
cost.

The party, numbering 265 persons in 48
machines and trucks belonging to the
various establishments, assembled at the
city auditorium and traveled over splen-
did roads to the Hastings Farm at Love-
joy, which is about 26 miles from At-
lanta. The stately Elms with their cool
and refreshing shade, made the picnic

Retailing Bulbs This Fall

A Profitable Side Line

There are thousands of florists located
throughout the country growing cut flow-
ers and plants, and depending on a retail
trade for their disposal, and the forcing
of bulb stock during the Winter months
forms an important part of their business.
To my mind, in every locality where
Tulips, Hyacinths and Narcissi are sold
during Winter as cut flowers or in pans,
there is also an ideal spot to sell the
bulbs during Fall, and make it a profit-
able side line. The more bulbs you sell
the less will those cost you used for your
own forcing, and by selling them you will
in no way interfere or butt in on some-
one else's business. All it will mean is
that new channels are being opened up for
the disposal of more bulbs; the florist in
the small city or town is the logical man
to handle bulbs such as the above. By
so doing and advertising the fact millions
more of them could be disposed of, result-
ing not only in making a good profit to
the florist, but in having great numbers of
people enjoying the flowers on their home
grounds who would otherwise never have
thought of planting the bulbs. You know
at this time what the bulbs cost you
wholesale. Why not get ready in prepar-
ing a neat folder or announcement to be
sent out with the September 1st state-
ments, and follow up with another later
on. Figure on making a display in your
establishment of bulbs this Fall, and
keep a correct record of what is being
done in the way of business in that line.
Work into it, push it. There need be no
loss whatever connected with it as long as
you force the bulbs yourself. You can
always plant and make good use of the
surplus.

Get the Roofs into Shape

When we are nearing the first of Aug-
ust it won't be long before Fall is with
us again, and soon the approach of Win-
ter; the sooner we get the roofs into
shape, the gutters painted and all repairs
made the better. There is no greater
coal saver than a tight roof, even if this
is hard to realize with 100 in the shade
in August. Coal for next Winter may be
scarce or plentiful, but you can depend
upon it it isn't going to go down much

in price, and as long as that is the case,
your running expenses will stay up, and
you can't afford to waste heat. Next
January, with perhaps 10 or 20 below,
and trying to maintain 50 or 60 deg. in
the houses, there is nothing but a thin
glass roof to hold the heat; isn't it most
important to have it as tight as possible?
The cost of labor or material to make it
so is very little compared with the cost
of heat escaping a leaky roof. There are
few things to do just now which will pay
better to attend to than get the roofs
into first class shape. There is no better
time to get at it than right now. Damp,
cold or rainy weather makes work on a
roof very unpleasant.

Chrysanthemums

August is the best growing month for
the majority of the varieties of Chrysan-
themums the florist carries under glass.
Toward the end of that month we begin
to select buds, and the early or Mid-
season sorts won't make much growth after
that. Watch things; benches full of roots
will need a lot of water and a good mulch
of well decomposed manure or watering
with liquid cow manure helps, but never
apply either on plants stunted or sickly
in any way. Feeding a sick plant hardly
ever removes the cause that made it sick.
If you should have a batch of such plants,
consisting of early varieties, throw them
out. You can still plant late sorts, and
if consisting of healthy stock, full of life,
you will get more in the way of returns
than trying to nurse along stunted plants
and get them back into shape again. If
you grow pot plants, don't allow the soil
in the pots to dry out: nothing will cause
hard wood quicker and that is bad for pot
plants.

Cyclamen from Seed

If you wish to grow Cyclamen from
seed this is high time to sow, that is, if
you want good sized plants ready to flower
during December, 1923. No matter how
early you sow and how fine the plants,
they don't all bloom at the same time,
and when you purchase specimens loaded
with blossoms from the specialist during
December, bear in mind that he has on
hand a good many plants while of the
same size, yet not in bloom. The retail

grower who can spare the time to at-
tend to his plants can always realize a
fair profit on Cyclamen, no matter when
they come into bloom, but you can't ex-
pect heavy flowering stock for Christmas,
1923, grown from seed sown much later
than the present. With good seed you
will have no trouble in getting plants un-
der way. Shade the seed flats or pans
and transplant the seedlings as soon as the
first leaf is fairly developed. A little
shade and an airy house is what the
little plants need, and keeping the soil in
the flats fairly moist at all times. If you
want to save time, don't bother with seed,
but purchase the small plants later on,
either ready to be transplanted or out
of 2in. pots, and of course get the best
strain you can.

Cyclamens for Next Winter

A 3% in. or 4in. Cyclamen ready for a
shift in August should develop into a
large, bushy, 6in. plant by November. A
few out of the batch can go into 7's, and
a good percentage will be at their best
in regard to flowering for Christmas. If
you have the room and know that the
plants will receive proper attention dur-
ing the next three months, the purchasing
of a few hundred nice plants will prove
a good investment. From now on, the
plants should make their best growth;
let them have a moist house and a little
shade; wet the foliage several times a day
for the next six weeks; they like it, and
with a well drained soil will require a
lot of water. Space your plants nicely
and never allow the appearance of green
fly, their worst enemy, attacking the ten-
der, small leaves and soon disfiguring
them. There are many causes for a stunt-
ed Cyclamen, but a poorly drained soil,
neglect in watering and green fly, as well
as too dry a house, will do it quicker than
anything else.

Hardy Stock from Seed

Don't let the Summer slip by without
sowing out a good assortment of bi- and
perennials. It is still time to sow Fox-
glove, Canterbury Bells, Hollyhocks, Core-
opsis, Delphiniums, Gaillardia, Pyre-
thrums and a lot of other plants easily
raised from seed. Every retail grower
should be able at this time of the year

to keep his display cooler filled with flow-
ers cut outdoors. There may not be much
in it, but by far less if you have to pur-
chase such stock from the market; nor
will shipping improve them. You should
have the plants on your own grounds, not
only for the flowers they furnish, but to
supply the ever increasing demand for
plants for retailing during Spring and
Fall. It may be a little late now to sow
certain varieties and obtain large enough
plants for transplanting to advantage this
Fall, but that doesn't need to stop you
from sowing. Take for instance Aquilegia
or Delphinium. Sow them out then in
rows in a coldframe, keep clean and let
the plants remain there until next Spring
if you wish. Of course, if the plants by
early October are large enough to handle,
transplant them by all means. Protect a
little over Winter, and they will all bloom
early next Summer, but be at their best
the second year.

Crops to Follow 'Mums

In order to obtain any benefits from
suggestions in regard to suitable crops to
follow the Chrysanthemums the present
is the time to offer them. No matter what
one plants it usually requires weeks and
sometimes months in preparations, and
as with Snapdragons and others if you
want a bushy plant out of a 3in. pot by
early November, ready for benching, you
have to get busy either with seed or cut-
tings in August. Of the principal so-called
catch crops, we might consider Snap-
dragon, Sweet Peas, Calendulas, Freesias
and Pansies as some of the most popular;
that is for the average florist. There are
many others, and among them Lupines
hold an important place, and like the
Snapdragons, Calendulas and Pansies
should be sown out soon. Large sized
bulbs of Freesias can be planted in pots
now to be benched by the end of October,
when the early 'Mums leave, and will
make a paying Christmas crop. Now is
the time to get busy thinking about any
of the above and start the ball rolling.
Don't let a bench or solid bed be empty
when through with the 'Mums. Arrange
it so you have stock on hand to follow up
and keep every inch working. If you
haven't use for all the young stock later
on, somebody else will want it, and that is
better than hunting for it yourself.

Lilium Hansonii

Although a foreigner, a native of Japan,
this is one of our very best Lilies. I first
saw this successfully grown at Kew, Eng-
land, where it was planted in beds of low
shrubbery. This suggestion has been fol-
lowed on the grounds of the Massachu-

.; setts Agricultural College, Amherst, where
the bulbs have been set under a mass of
free growing Ibota Privet. This scheme
of putting Japanese species together (we
have Sjtircea Thnnbergii in the same

\ group) has some merit in theory, but
the strongest argument in its favor is
the fact that the Lilies thrive and show
fine masses of bloom year after year. It

; is by far the most permanent of all Lilies

| we have grown here, as well as one of

j the handsomest.

No photograph ever does this species

i justice for the color is a brilliant orange,
which almost always shows black in the
picture. It flowers in June or early July,
and is delightfully fragrant. Grown as
here recommended, it stands 3ft. to 4ft.
high and bears 10 to 20 flowers in each
spike. After being once established it
requires absolutely no protection or at-
tention of any sort. Bulbs are a trifle
expensive at the nurseries, but consider-
ing their permanent character and extra-
ordinary beauty, they are about the cheap-
est Lilies one can buy.

Frank A- Wauqh.
[The subject above dealt with is worthy
of all praise. Considering its easy cul-
ture *ncl its readiness to multiply, this
.Lily should not be unduly expensive. — Ed.]

Waterproof Boiler Pit

H. B., N. Y.

— Built on the lines you suggest, and
assuming the waterproofing material you
refer to is reliable, you should have no
trouble. As the location is wet, and the
clay is but 4ft. deep, a few drain tiles car-
ried out a few yards to deep soak holes
might help to catch some of the water
that will naturally run toward the exca-
vation. This should not be necessary,
however, unless the natural water level
is so near the surface that it may exert
pressure upon the walls before they set.
Unless actual springs are on the location
this is unlikely and we think you may
safely go on as planned, of course getting
the work done while the water level is
low.

flower cold storage bulbs in Winter, but
potted up and kept as cool as possible
they come in extra late. We have had
permanent plantations flowering as late
as October in the open. They only pro-
duce one crop, like all Japanese and other
species of Lilies, but do not open all their
flowers at one time.

The Calla is not a Lily nor in any way
related to the Lily family; hence there
can be no comparison in the treatment or
the flowering between one and the other.

Lilium Hansonii — The most permanent
of all Lilies we have grown here, as well
as one of the handsomest. Often called
the Japanese Turk's Cap Lily. (See text)

Treatment of Magnificum Bulbs

D. G., Vt.

—We assume by magnificum you mean
Lilium speciosum magnificum out of cold
storage. We know of no other Lily bear-
ing this name, beyond L. Humboldti mag-
nificum, a hardy yellow flowering species.
L. speciosum magnificum is merely a fine
form of rubrum, white with rose spots,
hardy in the garden, but does well in pots.
We are doubtful whether you will hold
back the bulbs out of storage to flower
at Christmas. Fresh bulbs planted in the
open in the Fall or Spring will flower in
August or September; in pots under glass
somewhat earlier. We have not tried to

grounds ideal, and a crystal stream wend-
ing its way through the grove, added to
the beauty of the scene.

A delightful musical program was
rendered; Mrs. Lynwood Calvert sang sev-
eral selections, including "Say it with
Flowers." She was accompanied by three
violinists. Prof. Leffingwell, Miss Lef-
fingwell and Mrs. M. E. Patterson, and
her clear sweet voice and the music of
the violins echoing through the grove
was indeed refreshing.

The barbecue dinner upheld true south-
ern traditions in its excellence and was
thoroughly enjoyed by all. H. G. Hast-
ings made a welcoming speech and his
generous hospitality was applauded. Right
here we wish to say a word about the
Hastings farm. It was worth coming a
long way to see the great seed-Corn plant-
ings which were kept as clean as a whistle
and the fields of Cannas and Gladioli with
their gorgeous coloring.

One of the laughable events that took
place during the afternoon was a sextette
of pickaninnies with hands tied behind
them, who scrambled for coins thrown on
a table of flour. As they had to get the
coins with their teeth, it is not hard to
imagine their grotesque appearance after
a few seconds in the flour.

They, as well as the audience, seemed
to _ enjoy it all and some of them felt
quite rich after their profitable game.

Rain came in the afternoon to mar the
games and it is regretted that the flo-
rists could not have had more time to
meet and get acquainted with all who
attended the barbecue, but they are look-
ing forward to making the outing an an-
nual event. B. W. S.

News Notes

This week's business has been
rather quiet and slow.

There is an abundance of outside stuff,
Gladioli taking the lead. Some Asters
and Dahlias are on the market, but the
demand is not great.

Outside of funeral work and flowers
for hospitals, there has been little doing.

Lanternier, Florists, are planning the
erection of two new Lord & Burnham
houses for growing Carnations.

The Flick Floral Co. have opened a
branch store in the new Washington Mar-
ket.

Mr. and Mrs. Richard Blossom and
children are spending some time at Tri
Lake.

Tinkham, Florist, reports business as
fair, some fine Dahlias are seen here.

The Doswell Floral Co. are cutting some
fine Asters from inside. Vacations are in
order; nearly all the Doswell force is
away at the lakes. A. B.

Varied Uses for Trailing and Climbing Roses

By
SAMUEL NEWMAN BAXTER

THE past June has provided some
very effective displays of climbing
and hybrid Wichuraiana Roses, used
in various positions, about Philadelphia,
which we consider timely to pass on to
readers of The Exchange.

On a railroad embankment, we noted
huge masses of the Wichuraiana types,
each variety being used in great quanti-
ties, thus avoiding a "spotty" effect and
conveying colors on a large scale. Such a
planting eliminates the expense of grass
cutting and provides an excellent -binder
for the embankment. A somewhat simi-
lar plantation was noted on a rocky slope
where dwarf Junipers were used in con-
junction with the Roses after a plan by a
well-known landscape man. Both plants
are appropriate for such a location and
give a pleasing effect for the first year or
two, but the Roses will choke out the
Junipers, as they are doing in this case,
so this combination, though pretty at first,
is to be avoided unless one is prepared to
keep the Roses in bounds by pruning.

A rustic fence, about 200ft. long, was
noted laden down with pink bloom of but
one variety, the popular Dorothy Perkins.
An assortment might have given greater
enjoyment to the owners but, in this in-
stance, quantity of color proved far more
effective and won the favorable comment
of passersby. It was a treat for ex-
ponents of color masses.

One often sees these Roses planted
along the top of a low wall, fronting so
many suburban properties, and they look
well in such a position, but rather than
a continuous hedge, which may soften but
does not _relievej;lie straight line of wall
or coping.' a better effect, in the writer's
opinion, is to mass a few plants around
piers at either end of say a 50ft. front-
age and let them work their way toward
the center where we will assume the
steps are located. This produces a heav-
ier effect, the plants rambling down over
the wall at the ends, and gradually nar-
rowing down to one or two sprays toward
the center or growing ends, forming a
drapery from the wall. A different va-
riety of Rose, two urns of flowering
plants or some other appropriate ever-

Rosa excelsa on terrace steps, walls and arch

green or shrubbery, may be grouped about the steps
in. the center of the property to ornament same and
appear as the objective for our trailing Roses on the
side piers.

Another splendid use for the trailing
Roses of slender growth is to cover step
walls which, without planting, stand out
so prominently in the sod slope of the
suburban front sidewalk. Even more de-
sirable is this, if the masonry is of the
"operation" type and when completely
covered forms an attractive entrance at
any season and especially handsome when
plants are in bloom. The entrance steps
may be further softened or "tied in," if
an occasional spray is trained on a wire
across the "risers," starting from oppo-
site sides.

We will not go into the uses of Roses
on arches in the garden, but here is an
entrance archway so spacious and was
so laden with crimson flowers (Excelsa)
that we had the photographer take it for
our readers. Unfortunately, the color
cannot be conveyed, but the illustration
gives an idea of the possibilities, though
in this instance the overzealous plant
lover has crowded too many plants on the
front lawn.

We do not claim originality for uses
of trailing and climbing Roses as cited,
but we do consider them effective, and
they please the home owners which, after
all, is what nurserymen or Rose growers
should cater to. But instead of copying
Dorothy Perkins effects, why not urge
customers to depart from the old and
plant less common or later introductions?
We leave the naming of these to the Rose
specialists, but perhaps our notes would
not be complete without referring to a
few sorts which now please. For large
arches or trellises we suggest the stronger
growing kinds like Silver Moon, white;
Bess Lovett, clusters of large double
pink ; Dr. Van Fleet, flesh ; Edgar An-
dreu, red, larger and better than Crim-
son Rambler. For use along steps or top
of front walls, we prefer the more slen-
der growing or trailing sorts like Gar-
denia, whose buff buds are always ad-
mired, but are not well enough known;
Wichuraiana. Evergreen Gem, double
cream : Jersey Beauty, single creamy yel-
low ; Lady Gay, cherry red or pink, like
Dorothy Perkins; and Universal Favorite,
double pink.

D. Unfair Competition, Bribery and Graft

RAFT giving and receiving exists in the nur-
sery business just as it does in most if not all
7 other businesses. Many States have drastic
kegjgjation against it, and in some the giving or tak-
jMg of a bribe is a felony. The nature of the felony
JH snr-h. however, that it is extremely difficult to se-
cure convictions, both parties to the transaction being
equally guilty.

The giving of gratuities to employees is done to
induce them to buy or overbuy or accept inferior
products, etc., and is perhaps the most dishonest and
contemptible form of unfair competition. The honest
retail nurseryman and seedsman is most seriously
handicapped by his unfair competitor, and it is quite
time a higlier standard of honesty should be com-
pelled by nurserymen as an organization.

There are many kinds of unfair i competition prac-

tised, as in advertising, descriptions, etc., and we be-
lieve the time has come for the nurserymen to take a
definite stand on this subject and to appoint a special
committee on "Unfair Competition, Bribery and
Graft" to investigate and report with specific recom-
mendations.

On June 1, 1922, H. R. 10159, "A Bill to further
protect interstate and foreign commerce against
bribery and other corrupt trade practices," was passed
by the House of Representatives and is now before
the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce. The
evidence submitted by the proponents of this bill is a
terrible indictment of business practices in America.

This bill is being backed by the Unfair Competition
Bureau of the Paint and Varnish Industries and its
passage is being urged by 43 other leading national
business organizations including advertising, paper
and pulp, ship service, surgical, furniture, insecticide.
leather belting, music, paint, roofing, hardwood lum-
ber, wholesale grocery, textile, machinery, and many
other industries.

We recommend that the A. A. N. join in support of
the passage of this- bill and that immediate steps be
taken to make such support felt in Washington
through our proper representatives.

E. Recommendations for Further Action

1. That the name of this committee shall be "Com-

mittee on Standardization of Horticultural Trade
Practice."

2. The establishing of a "Joint National Committee
on Standardization of Horticultural Trade Practice."

3. That the work of drawing up a code or set of
rules for nursery trade practice be continued : — Other
duties of such a National Committee to be the prepa-
ration of rules for the registration of names of new
horticultural varieties; defining, considering and
adjudicating questions of nursery practice as they
arise.

4. The adoption of a code for naming of horticul-
tural varieties for guidance of nurserymen, plant
breeders and others introducing plants. This may
properly be referred to the American Joint Com-
mittee on Horticultural Nomenclature.

5. Earnest consideration on the matter of establish-
ing an "American" or "National Horticultural Coun-
cil" or "National Horticultural Chamber of Com-
merce" with representatives from all horticultural
interests, amateur and professional to consider horti-
cultural practice along the above lines with suitable
su'b-coniimttees. Such a council might assume the
duties of the Joint National Committee on Standardi-
zation of Horticultural Trade Practice in our second
recommendation. Such a National Council or Cham-
ber would represent all American horticultural in-

Standardization of Horticultural
Trade Practice

terests in matters of legislation, trans-
portation, etc.

(One of the greatest difficulties in
carrying out uniform trade practice in
the horticultural world is the fact that
different horticultural interests such as
nurserymen, florists, seedsmen, market
gardeners, fruit growers, landscape arch-
itects, horticultural writers, plant breed-
ers, private gardeners, park officials and
many others, have been working thought-
lessly or selfishly along their own par-
ticular lines, and mutual interests even
if comprehended have been ignored.)

It is certain that the time has come
when action as above recommended must
be taken by some one. The work of the
American Joint Committee on Horticul-
tural Nomenclature shows that it is pos-
sible to accomplish great results through
cooperative effort of those in different
horticultural pursuits.

It is only through such a national
council or committee representing all
leading horticultural interests that the
best results would come ; it must be a
broadly representative body to have its
action carry the weight of authority.

6. Other matters for consideration by
the Committee on Standardization to be
reported on in its next report are :

(a) Alphabetical list of trade terms
used in nursery and horticultural prac-
tice with their abbreviations.

(6) Color chart or methods for stand-
ardizing the descriptions of colors in
horticulture.

(c) Standard symbols for certain
plant descriptions as for biennial, an-
nual, male, female, fertile, pistillate, etc.

(d) Rules for grading Roses, bulbs
and seeds.

(e) Packing, shipping and material
standards with rules and decisions.

Seattle, Wash., Nursery Notes

Travelers Tales

R. J. Anninger, representing W. B.
Clarke, horticultural broker, San Jose,
Calif., was calling on the trade last week.
He reported being sold out on Azaleas
and several other varieties of ornamen-
tals. This fact, considering the short
distance covered, should give some idea
of the demand for this class of stock. He
further reported a general shortage of
nursery stock, both in California and
Oregon. Roses also will be in short sup-
ply. His statement coincides with infor-
mation furnished up by H. Burdette,
Meadowvale, Wash., who has just re-
turned from a tour of several weeks in
those two states looking for stock.

One Against California

What are our local nurserymen going
to California or Oregon for anyway? We
can produce all the conifers and ever-
greens and many ornamental flowering
shrubs of better quality than can be pro-
duced anywhere. If we only had the
courage of our convictions. This is nat-
urally a conifer and evergreen climate,
and while quite a few are being raised by
local growers, where today we are propa-
gating one, they could be produced by the
thousand by expert propagators at a low
cost.

The same applies to Roses; many now
received from California sources are un-
satisfactory, being budded slovenly, no at-
attempt being made to get down on the
stock, suckers innumerable, and poor roots,
owing to carelessness in digging, not to
mention substitution. A glaring case
which came under my notice was: Mrs.
Aaron Ward was sent in place of Geo. C.
Wand, labelled the latter. At our local
Rose show several cases that came to no-
tice were Constance and Golden Emblem,
which had been sent in place of the more
expensive I. F. Crozier. These had been
sold to customers in good faith as true;
as they were dormant when received and
sold, the local nurseryman had no means
of determining otherwise. In one case
which I can personally vouch for, the
bloom was staged in good faith as a
Crozier and disqualified. The exhibitor
told the writer that the nurseryman she
bought from would get no more of her
money.

Another case coming under my obser-
vation last season was where Ceeile Brun-
er was substituted for Chrissie McKellar;
fortunately this was detected before any
sale was made. The above instances have
come to notice without being looked for,
and are not the best testimonials for
Californian Roses, of which many thou-
sands are sold locally yearly. An occa-
sional mixture is liable to occur in the
most systematic packing room; and is ex-
pected by the trade, but substitution with-
out notice and deliberate mis-labelling
shows poor business morals by whomever
practiced.

And Still Another One

Another point refers to the class of
stock used; our experience goes to show
that no two firms use the same stock,
one uses multiflora, another Manetti, an-
other Ragged Robin and so on; each
swears his particular stock is the best
for the purpose, but from observations
made locally, we have found that certain
varieties do better on certain type of
stock; of the varieties mentioned above,
we have found the Manetti and Canina
the most satisfactory, and Multiflora the
most unsatisfactory. With us, it won't
stand transplanting, the check arising
therefrom, in many instances killing out
the bud. Reference has been made to bud-
ding high on stock; this is no doubt due
to system of piecework payment, with
the consequent rushing to get In as many

buds as possible in the shortest time. The
general rule seems to be, bud anywhere so
long as you hit the stock. Then as to
roots, thousands of plants are sent out
with absolutely no fiber and in the ma-
jority of cases, just a couple of forks,
the remainder cut off by the digger.

These notes are not written as an at-
tack on Californian Rose production; it
is realized that demand has in many cases
exceeded production, and that rush meth-
ods have been necessary to cope with the
demand, but with good and high moral
business methods, many of the points
noted should disappear. It is to encour-
age this high moral tone among members
of the fraternity that attention has been
called to their existence. The remedy is
in the growers' own hands.

Progress in Bud Selection

At the annual meeting of the Cali-
fornia Nurseryman's Bud Selection As-
sociation William T. Kirkman, Jr., of
Fresno, was re-elected president ; J. E.
Bergtholdt, vice-president ; Max J. Crow,
secretary-treasurer ; Charles B. Weeks,
field manager. Board of Directors : J. S,
Armstrong, Ontario ; J. E. Bergtholdt,
Newcastle ;. Max J. Crow, Gilroy ; J. H,
Elmer, San Jose ; H. A. Hyde, Watson-
ville ; W. T. Kirkman, Fresno ; Ruehl
Wheeler, San JosS.

The association is now in its third
year of operation, and is showing
achievements that give promise of splen-
did results in the improvement of de-
ciduous fruit trees and their products.
During the past season, according to
Manager Charles B. Weeks, its members
used approximately 3,500,000 buds taken
from record bearing trees selected by its
experts some two years ago, and careful
observation has been made of their be-
havior and bearing qualities. Obviously
this record is not of sufficient duration tp
establish anything that will authenti-
cate a tree's capabilities from every
point of view, but it is a far reaching
step in advancement over the system of
cutting buds from trees not kept under
observation, and of which there can pnly
be said that it was good of its kind anc|
recognized in a general way as producing
quality and quantity of fruit. Another
good thing to the credit of the associa-
tion was the appointment of Fraiilt
Dixon of the Fruit Canners' League' pf
California, to locate desirable strains
of trees and varieties producing a prime
article of fruit for canning and drying
purposes. It is movements of this na-
ture that will assist in the production
of better fruit trees and better fruit
products, thus helping every division of
the fruit industry from tree to ultimate
consumer.

Doings of the Nurserymen's Ass'n

The first meeting of the newly elected
executive committee of the California
Association of Nurserymen convened if)
the rooms of the Fairmont Hotel, San
Francisco, July 3, on which occasion
Fred H. Howard was unanimously re-
elected chairman. Regarding a flower
and horticultural exhibition to be held
in San Francisco in 1923. President
Donald McLaren and Secretary Chan-
cellor K. Grady were authorized to enter
into the preliminary arrangements, the
event to take place in the month of Oc»
tober. It is hoped to enlist the support
of other public bodies, and a tentative
program is under consideration which
will greatly relieve the association of
much of the financial responsibility. The
committee also authorized Secretary
Grady to attend the convention of the
Pacific Ooast Association of Nursery-
men at Portland. Ore., July 11-13, as a
delegate from the California organiza-
tion. The next meeting of the committee
will be held in Los Angeles at the1 call
of the chairman.

Vacuum Fumigation for Nursery Stock

Vacuum fumigation has been an in-
teresting topic for discussion ' among

The Florists' Exchange

California nurserymen for the past five
years; the success attained with it m
removing (destroying) the boll weevil
in bales of Cotton and insects affecting
other soil products, has kept alive the
conviction that under proper methods
and conditions, its use could be made
practical in the destruction of injurious
insects affecting plaut life. In observa-
tions and experiments carried on by
D. B. Mackie. of the California Depart-
ment of Agriculture, in conjunction with
.county horticultural commissioners and
nurserymen, sufficient advance has been
made demonstrating its feasibility. Ven-
tura Countv has such a plant now in
operation and finds it practical with
■certain fruit trees, notably Orange and
Lemon. .

Recently County Horticultural Com-
missioner Ryan of Los Angeles, Roy F.
Wilcox, of the California Association of
Nurserymen, and Dr. Clements, of the
Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, vis-
ited the Ventura County plant, and were
•convinced of its wide application to the
nursery industry in rendering young
plants free of all possible insect pests,
thus doing away with much of the tedi-
ous inspection and disinfection which
•can never be considered thoroughly re-
liable. The Union Tank and Pipe Co.
of Los Angeles are the builders of the
Ventura Vacuum Fumigator, and are
about to install a second machine at the
Los Angeles Sixth St. Market for fur-
ther experimentation with nursery
plants and other products. When com-
pleted, this will be at the disposal of
the State Department of Agriculture,
nnder the personal direction of Mr.
Mackie. In this connection it might be
well for plantsmen, who may be asked
for plants to operate on. to send only
first class, up to standard specimens.
Cull stock and inferior stuff will not
give the results that are essential, viz.,
the effect of vacuum fumigation on ro-
bust plant life. As this work progresses
the results will be duly given in these
columns.

Trade Notes and Personals

The Sweet Pea fields on the S. Ba-
ronda ranch in Monterey County, con-
sisting of fourteen varieties, afford a
sight in color effects to the passersby.
The crop is being grown for the C. C.
Morse Seed Co., of San Francisco.

George C. Rioeding. head of the Cali-
fornia Nursery Co., of Niles, and the
Faneher Creek Nurseries of Fresno, is
busy with preparations for his European
trip, expecting to sail for Spain some-
time during the latter part of August.
While abroad, Mr. Roeding will investi-
gate the Olive, Grape and Fig industries
of the Mediterranean region and also
the Cork Oak forests of Spain and the
manufacture of corks. All these thrive
in California, and it is with the view
I of their local expansion that he will
study them in the countries of their
origin.

E. W. Horton. late local manager of
the Faneher Creek Nurseries, is now
associate editor of The Fruitman, a
monthly magazine devoted to the fruit
industry of Central California, with pub-
< lication offices in Fresno. Mr. Horton
served his novitiate with the late D. S.
Lake of Shenandoah, Iowa, later going
to Montana where he served as office
manager to a large nursery concern
operating in Billings and Missoula ; from
, Montana he came direct to California.
; As associate editor of The Fruitman he
will look after the interests of the seed,
florist and nursery operations in the
San Joaquin Valley.

Nurserymen handling deciduous fruit
. stocks, found good sales in Placer County
this past season, where 95,850 fruit trees
were planted in new acreage and 54,037
Grape vines.

The annual show of the Southern
California Dahlia Association will be
held in the Alexandria Hotel, Los An-
geles, on Sept. 14 and 15. Of the Fall
blooming flowers, none are more popu-
lar than the Dahlia, and with the pro-
duction of new forms and color mark-
ings, their culture is certainly alluring.
A splendid exhibition is being looked
forward to. Henry W. Krtjokeberg.

Orchid Hunters

Dr. Lockhart Cottle and his crew, to-
talling eleven, recently left England in a
90ton expedition ship on a three year
search for orchids in the jungles of the
South Sea Islands. They also intend hunt-
ing for dolphins in the North Atlantic.

Trade Notes

July 25. — The usual Midsummer
quietness has its annual grip upon the
florist's business, although it may not be
as badly felt as in some other sections
where there are not so many tourists.
Portland seems to be a stopover place
for thousands of tourists, who annually
flock to Maine, and the transient trade
which they bring helps wonderfully all
lines of business in this city.

Outdoor flowers seem to predominate
at present and there is a good variety to
choose from. Outdoor Sweet Peas are
at their best. The cool weather and rain
of the last month have helped wonderfully
to produce large flowers with long stems.

The H. P. Roses are on their last
legs and little in the Rose line is to be
had ; Carnations are not fit to bother
with. Asters are just beginning to make
their appearance, and greenhouse grown
Gladiolus of unusual quality makes a
fine show in some of the store windows.
Gaillardia. Coreopsis, Phlox, Snap-
dragon, and Gypsophila pamculata are
all in good supply and sell well.

News Notes

Howard Blanchard, of Cumber-
land Center, has just finished benching
about 10.000 'Mums, and is now busy
clearing his Carnation houses of the
old plants and soil. Twenty-five thousand
Carnation plants in the field look un-
usually strong. Mr. Blanchard will have
a busy month ahead of him getting these
benched.

S. Pederson & Son, of Scarboro, seems
to be one of the most fortunate growers
imaginable. Last week a coal mine was
discovered in Scarboro and the report is
the vein runs right through his property.
Tests show the coal to be No. 1 anthra-
cite, and a company is being formed to
start mining operations. The mining
company is trying to come to terms with
Mr Pederson to purchase the property
and all Mr. Pederson has to say is: "Give
me my price, I will gladly sell."

The U. S. Veterans' Bureau, Dept. ot
Vocational Training, has placed a num-
ber of disabled soldiers with the local
florists to learn the business. These men
are paid by the Government and work
along with the growers, at the same time
learning all the .points on growing plants
and flowers. The City Greenhouse has
two of these soldiers and finer young
men you could not wish to have around.
Both of these young men are very con-
scientious workers and quick at learning.
\t the end of three years' training, they
expect to start in business for themselves.

Cumberland Co. Florists

The Cumberland County Florists
Association held its annual field day
and outing and election of officers at
Cumberland Center, July 24. _ Between
75 and 100 members, and their guests,
were present, and the affair was one of
the most successful that has taken place
for many years. Members began to ar-
rive at Cumberland Center by automo-
bile aud train early in the afternoon.
During the afternoon the florists stores
in Portland were closed, as nearly all
attended the outing. The committee m
charge consisted of Alexander Skillm
of Falmouth Foreside and Howard
Blanchard of Cumberland Center.

During the afternoon, a card ot sports
was run off on the Greely Institute
grounds, including a very interesting
game of baseball. A banquet was held
in Red Men's Hall at six o'clock, served
by the Daughters of the Pocahontas.
The dinner was followed by the annual
business meeting and election of officers
with Alexander Skillin, the retiring pres-
ident in the chair. The election resulted

in the following officers being elected for
the ensuing year : President, Roland Bar-
rows, of Gorham ; vice-president, George
Minot, of South Portland ; secretary,
Mrs. Alexander Skillin, of Falmouth
Foreside; treasurer, Philip Talbot, of
Portland. The program committee for
the coming year will consist of Clarence
Minot, George Mellon and Morris Leigh-
ton. The membership committee, How-
ard Blauchard, Mrs. Minnie Smith and
Selrus Petersen.

A short entertainment followed the
business meeting during which Ernest
Sweetser, of the Washington University
at St. Louis, favored the association with
a number of vocal selections. Dancing
followed.

The August meeting of the association
is to be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Alexander Skillin on the Foreside Road.

Lilies, $15 to $20; Cornflower, 50c. to $1.

The market this week is very slug-
gish and the Gladiolus glut is on. Thou-
sands pour in daily and do much to tax
the patience of the wholesalers. The good
stuff sells readily, but it's a real job to
clean up the second rate and inferior
stock.

Roses and Carnations are good, consid-
ering the hot weather, but they have few
takers. The retailers are pushing the
outdoor stock that makes a big showing
at the lowest cost. Snapdragon and Lark-
spur are very good and are popular be-
cause of their keeping qualities. The plant
situation is the same; there is scarcely
anything salable and more is _ the pity,
since there is a demand for this class of
stock.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Cleveland Florists Club will be held at
the Hollenden on the first Monday of
August at 8 p.m. This is one of the most
important meetings of the year as of-
ficers for 1923 will be nominated and it
is hoped a large crowd will turn out to
elect a progressive florist to the important
office of president. There are several dark
horses, but it is hoped the man elected
will be friendly to the Publicity Plan and
the Florists Club Home Plan. At past
meetings when there was a representative
gathering of the wise heads of the club,
it was demonstrated that both these con-
structive plans met with their hearty ap-
proval

Members, let nothing interfere with your
attendance at the next club meeting. Come
and bring some one along, who will sup-
port the cause of the progressives.

Nursery Notes from Ohio

Nursery stock in this section never
looked better and nurserymen in general
are confidently expecting a heavy Fall
trade.

C. H. Shumaker, treasurer of btorrs &
Harrison Co., Painesville, says his com-
pany is receiving inquiries and booking
orders which give a fair indication of a
heavy Fall trade. These early booking or-
ders are always appreciated as they give
better opportunity to get out the stock in
a timely way and to be prepared for
emergencies.

Harry S. Day, proprietor of the Fre-
mont Nurseries of Fremont, Ohio, is a
candidate for State Treasurer at the pri-
maries, Aug. 8. Ohio nurserymen should
feel interested in their fellow craftsman
and do their duty at the polls by casting
their ballot for Mr. Day, who is honor-
able, trustworthy and unselfish. T. J. M.

Musings and Moralizings

E5B2 L By WOOLGATHERER

Hybrid Tomatoes

A news circular from the Geneva Exp.
Station, N. Y., deals with the above sub-
ject as opening a field of great possibili-
ties for the amateur and seedsman.

As a matter of fact, the term hybrids
is used inadvisedly, because it is not urged
that amateurs and seedsmen should seek
out the various species of Lycopersicum
and cross them. No! the proposition is
that the Tomato so readily responds to
crossing, making any desirable combina-
tion possible, that even the unskilled may
indulge.

A peculiarity of Tomato hybrids (sic)
is that the improvement secured by cross-
ing decreases with each generation, so
that in effect we are given to understand
that we have all these years been utterly
wrong in saving seed from varieties that
have not been crossed with other varie-
ties.

This is something new in the plant
evolution line. The world over we have
aimed at certain types and have .striven,
by selection, to get strains which will
produce the same class of Beet, Lettuce,
Carrot, Tomato, etc., year after year.

Geneva, however, asks us to cross our
Tomatoes every year if we would have
the same class of product every year, or
at least save enough seed to carry over
two or three seasons.

I am afraid I shall need more convinc-
ing that constant crossing is going to
insure an even crop. It is conceivable
that every seedling from a cross would
be different, many of them utter mongrels.
Of what use would a mixed strain be to a
commercial grower? We are told not to
save seed from our hybrids because ot
the deterioration, but we are not told
how we are to get our first generation
seed every year. Either we must grow
a few standard sorts for crossing or we
must cross our hybrids and so keep on
mixing. As we will not be able to start
off with two pure line stocks, the pros-
pects seem fierce.

We are told, too, that crossing increases
earliness, and that crossing large with
large means large fruit again. Seems i
have heard this before.

Altogether this circular just about puts
me up in the air, and more or less tells
me that I was an all fired ass because I
kept selecting in order to get the class
of "Tom" I wanted. But, there, I and

274

The Florists* Exchange

all the rest of the people who were doing
the same under glass didn't have the
Geneva experiments to prove the fallacy
of our methods.

I venture, however, that the market
which demands Tomatoes of a regular
type would soon show that cross bred
Tomatoes aren't a commercial "spec " I
imagine some of the "punk" samples one
sees must come under that order, or else
from seed garnered from the carmine
factory.

Improving the Blueberry

In recent years, not a little has been
done m the way of improving the Blue-
berry; not before it was time, by the way
I have just read that Joseph J. White,
Inc. Brown Mills, N. J., who have been
™! on Blueberries, have now de-
cided to introduce their new forms and
tor this purpose, have gotten into the
habit of buying flower pots by the car-
load.

After all, there is nothing remarkable
about the fact that an ordinary berry
like the Blueberry can be so improved as
to make it worth while to expend money
m its dissemination. Lots of our flowers
and fruits were very ordinary when first
taken m hand, and rather than remark
on the fact with something akin to won-
derment. I should consider we have been
pretty slow to take up such improvement
As reported recently, the Elderberry is
well on the road to becoming of great
commercial value, just through selection
oyer a series of years. Although the old
time Europeans paid a good deal of at-
tention to various subjects native to
America and other regions, there are
doubtless lots of other things still wait-
ing improvement if anyone is willing to
give the time and attention to them. Most
ot us, however, are in such a beastly
hurry, that we only want plants that will
bring1 m returns in a year or so. We let
someone else do the improving and then
sometimes think we ought to share the
glory and profit, particularly the latter.

Grapefruit

We in the East can't ever hope to grow
these delightful fruits, but after glanc-
ing through Reasoner Bros.' catalog I
cannot but wonder how long we shall hav»
to wait before we can taste the n»w
loster Grapefruit. A sport of the Wal-
ters, this new variety has pink flesh It
is said to be the finest of all the early
sorts. It is illustrated on the back cover
of the catalog referred to.

A Noted Bulb Raiser

The Horticultural Trade Journal re-
cently published a short biography of
Herbert Chapman of Rotherside Gar-
dens, Rye, England. It is 20 or more
years ago since I first met Mr. Chapman.
He was then gardening for a hobby, mak-
ing cross breeding of Narcissi, Freesias,
etc., a regular fetish. His wonderful
success with various bulbs eventually led
him to give up his regular business" and
make plant raising a specialty. Lots
of the finest Poeticus Narcissi today are
of his raising and rarely does a season
pass but what he wins certificates for
new ones. His Chapmanii variety was
his first success with Freesias, but he
has raised various others. He is one of
the pioneer Freesia breeders. All sorts
of bulbous Iris he has taken in hand,
his latest success being the Rotherside
hybrids from Spanish and Tingitana.

Being of the ultra florist class, and of
most refined tastes, nothing he has ever
brought to public notice borders on the
inferior. Such ordinary things as Mar-
rows (Squash) and Tomatoes have come
under his hand for improvement; the
■standard sorts to him had lost the ideal
flavor, so he went after it and raised
sorts that pleased the palate. As a rule
he sells his novelties outright to the
trade.

Traveling Fumigators

A freight car fumigating house, having
a capacity of 14 railway ears at a time,
has been completed and put into operation
by the Federal Horticultural Board,
United States Department of Agriculture.
It is a part of the chain of fumigation
houses maintained to prevent the entry of
the pink bollworm of cotton into this
country.

Novel Trailer Camp Trip

By Lord & Burnham Representatives

A couple of weeks or so ago, one after-
noon, in going up Fifth ave., I was at-
tracted along with a lot of other curious
folks to a policeman who was giving a
car driver a bawling out. When I came
up close, doggone it if in the car didn't
sit R. C. Fontaine, Lord & Burnham Co.'s
eastern salesmanager, and L. W. C. Tut-
hill, their advertising man.

One tried to look innocent.

The other looked guilty, and was ad-
mitting it.

In back of their car was a trailer that
looked like a cross between a dog house
and an old-fashioned A-shaped greenhouse.
It had been blocking traffic.

That's what the row was about. Want-
ing to know more concerning the dog
house, I bopped in the car and rode a
couple of blocks, and much to my surprise
found out they were going for a week's
business camping trip out on Long Island.

They were going up the North Shore
and back the South, calling on all their
customers who had built this year or had
the building bug buzzing.

Tuthill had his "shooting-box" along
and was bent on harvesting some photo-
graphs for their Florists Exchange ad-
vertising talks. Fontaine was loaded with
ginger and ready to pop the minute any-
body mentioned the word "build."

One thing that he said sank into my
mind, and that was: "It's all very well to
sell a man a house and get his money, but
the firm has come to the conclusion that
the transaction does not end there. Selling
a house is one thing. Being sure the
customer is satisfied is another. The
surest way to make sure of the latter is
to go and see them every once in awhile."

Couldn't help but think how business
methods have changed and how much more
satisfactory it is to everybody.

A satisfied customer is a full page ad I
everywhere he goes.

One that isn't is exactly the reverse.

These two men were taking their camp-
ing outfit so they could stop where the
day's work ended, and not have to drive
miles out of the way and miss customers, .
in1 seeking hotel accommodation.

Taking your hotel with you is surely a
right up-to-the-minute method.

The Title: "When Secretary Young
Gets Going"

(One of those One Act Affairs with

the Transportation Committee of

the New York Florists' Club

Participating)

The Scene: Offici-al Headquarters of the

8. A. F. and 0. H., accompanied by

Nerve-Rackinff Thuds Overhead

Every Three Minutes.

Secretary Young: "Yes," (said John, in
answer to a request for information
on the noise above) "that noise is going
on all day at regular intervals. They
are shipping B. V. D.'s, so I am told.
Nothing to worry about, however, gen-
tlemen; I am living through it and
you should survive the afternoon."
A. L. Miller: "Say, John, I don't know
whether you know it or not, but we are
the Transportation Committee of the
New York Florists' Club, and out of
your long experience with elub matters,
etc., etc., if there is anything you can
suggest whereby we will be able to
compel those men who are surely go-
ing to Kansas City for the S. A. F.
Convention to speak up now for their
reservations, we would be ever so much
obliged."
Secretary Young: "As you know, Abe, I
make it a point not to T>utt' in on any
committee and its work, but (here's
where the Secretary is slipping from
his perfectly good resolution) I think
that you fellows have not been work-
ing hard enough."
The Committee as One Man: "Good heav-
ens, Mr. Secretary, haven't we issued
a most complete and inviting itinerary,
printed announcements in club notices
for the past six months, published ar-
ticles (admittedly punk) in the trade pa-
pers and "buttonholed' all the men we
could ? Why, man, 'how you all talk ! '"
Secretary Y^oung: "Nevertheless, ye men
of the Transportation Committee, make
no mistake; there are quite a number
going from whom you haven't heard as
yet. Has so and so, and what's his
name (and here the good Secretary men-
tioned the names of several he knew
were going for a certainty), made re-
quests for reservations? Get after them,"
(continued John) "they're all going, but
they're not Worrying particularly about
letting you fellows know. Every
Transportation Committee meets with
the same difficulty."
Lackawanna Man, with a Worried Look:
"Well, gentlemen, I do wish they'd let
us know. Surely they appreciate that
we can't hold reservations on a trip of
the kind that we have planned until
the last moment. We are not anxious
to disappoint anyone, but unless the
men you refer to speak up quickly, there
are going to be some disappointments
without a doubt."

The Moral: If you, dear reader, intend
going to Kansas City for the S. A. F.
Convention, and wish to take in the 12-day
Tour de Luxe, arranged by the New York
Florist Club for the local and nearby
trade, this very moment is the time to
act. You may, however, be planning on
going direct to Kansas City and returning
over the same route, getting the benefit of
the fare and one-half for the round trip,
but that does not prevent you in any
way from joining the party on the way
out. You will be just as welcome as those
who propose to take the entire trip. The
Club urgently desires as big a delegation
as possible from New York, Sundav, Aug.
13, at 2 p.m. Won't you join? C. B.
Tinsman (Lackawanna agent) 112 W. 42d
St., N. Y. C, is the man in direct charge,
or, if you prefer, you can get in touch
with any of the Transportation Commit-
tee, as follows: Paul A. Rigo, Chairman,
35 West 18th st., N. Y. City; A. L. Mil-
ler, Jamaica, L. I., N. Y.; C. Lowther,
care The Florists Exchange, N. Y.
City.

Again, we repeat— TAKE ACTION

Nursery Thief Caught

Thomas M. Connor, 621.3 Dix ave., W.
Philadelphia, has been held under bail
of $2000 on a charge of stealing plants
and shrubbery from the Overbrook Nur-
sery, David O'Connell and Thomas E.
Steele — all well known nursery firms of
the Philadelphia district.

» g 6 B*S » ,ivy^.

The long continued coal strike and the
uncertainty connected with the railroad
difficulties, together with the seasonal
slackening of trade, were responsible for
a slowing up in June of the steady im-
provement in commerce and industry
which has been reported for previous
months, according to a review of the sit-
uation just issued by Secretary of Com-
merce Hoover.

Despite these factors, however, there
was some improvement in business during
the month, it is stated.

The coal strike, which has now been in
effect nearly four months, has so far
caused but little disturbance to indus-
try, due to the heavy stocks which were
built up in the early months of the year,
but in recent weeks some of the smaller
industrial plants have begun to experi-
ence a fuel shortage. This, together with
the realization that even after mining
has begun it will be some time before an
even distribution can be established, has
had a deterring influence on industry.

Underemployment, overproduction and
too much immigration are responsible for
our present economic predicament, ac-
cording to Senator Gooding of Idaho, and
only by the erection of a wall that would
exclude foreign labor and all foreign mer-
chandise that can be produced in this
country can the situation be bettered.

In a long speech on the floor of the Sen-
ate last week, Mr. Gooding declared that
3,500,000 men are out of employment, a
million of whom are floaters who would
not work if given an opportunity, and that
the remaining 2,500,000 are increased by
a million young men and women reach-
ing maturity each year.

The Senator presented statistics show-
ing that there are too many manufactur-
ing plants for the country'?- needs. Twenty
per cent of the bituminous coal mines,
employing 60 per cent of the workers on
full time, can produce all the coal we can
use in the United States; all the iron and
steel we need for a year' can be produced
in six months' full time; 25 per cent of
the shoe factories on full time could
meet our needs for shoes; the sawmills
are overdeveloped 160 per cent; 36,000,-
000 tires are used on automobiles in this
country each year, but the plants in op-
eration have a capacity of 60,000,000, etc.
We are also overdeveloped in other
ways, the Senator continued. We have
946,419 retail shops, or one for every 111
citizens, and 97,083 wholesale houses, or
one for every 35 retail establishments.

Total imports and exports of the United
States for the month of June showed de-
cided increases over those of May, accord-
ing to figures just made public by the
Department of Commerce. Imports for
the month totaled $260,000,000, compared
with $252,817,254 in May; while exports
totaled $334,000,000, compared with $307,-
688,682 for May. Compared with June
of last year imports showed an increase
of nearly $75,000,000. Exports, however,
showed a decrease of about $1,000,000.

Imports for the year ending June, 1922,
totaled $2,607,618,110, which is a de-
crease from last year, when imports to-
taled $3,654,459,346, but an increase over
1914, when imports totaled $1,893,925,657.
Exports for the year were $3,770,220,971,
which is also a decrease from last year's
total of $6,516,510,033, but is an in-
crease over the year ending June, 1914,
when the total was $2,364,579,148.

The balance of trade in our favor for
the present year was $1,162,602,861,
compared with $2,862,050,687 last year.

The Department points out that the de-
crease in value of imports and exports as
compared with last year does not indicate
a decline in the volume of trade, but is
due for the most part to the decline in
prices.

A shortage of fuel next Winter with
consequent high prices cannot now be
avoided, even though all the closed mines
reopen in a few days. Labor officials in
Washington point out that when the mines
reopen they will be forced to use a large
percentage of green labor, so that their
production will naturally be hampered.
Further, statistics in the files of the
United States Geological Survey show that
even steady production for the remainder
of the year will not make up for the

loss of fuel occasioned by nearly four
mouths of inactivity in the union fields
at a time of the year when production
should be at its peak.

The Great Lakes have now been open
for many weeks and a steady flow of coal
should be passing through for the North-
west. Bailroads, public utilities, and other
large users having reserves of coal, are
rapidly using up their available stocks.
Small users of fuel are practically without
coal other than what they can buy in the
market and as a result of their effort
to secure fuel there has been a decided
tendency on the part of the smaller mines
to put the price up. Six dollars a ton
and more is being offered for coal at the
mine, or about double the price agreed
upon between the operators and the Sec-
retary of Commerce.

With industry getting on its feet, the
demand for coal is increasing. This de-
maud is comiug from all sections of the
country, especially from the Northwest,
where stocks must be laid in early. Gov-
ernment officials hope still to avoid the
necessity for ordering priorities, but ad-
mit that the possibility of rationed coal
draws nearer every day. Labor leaders
assert that any announcement of priori-
ties will result in the public making a
demand for some settlement of the strike
by the operators and claim that they can
hold out until that occurs. In the mean-
time the public — innocent bystander — is
facing the fate that usually falls upon the
third party in a labor dispute.

How the railroad strike affected busi-
ness is graphically shown by reports which
have been filed by the carriers with the
American Railway Association. Accord-
ing to these reports, loadings of manu-
factured and miscellaneous merchandise
during the week ended July 8, the first
week of the strike, were 93,067 cars be-
low those of the preceding week. A total
of 482,079 cars were loaded during the
week, which, even though below the pre-
ceding week, was nearly 90,000 cars more
than were loaded during the correspond-
ing week last year.

Total loadings of all classes of revenue
freight during the week were 718,319
cars. This was a reduction of nearly
160,000 cars as compared with the previ-
ous week, practically all of which is at-
tributed to the coal and railroad strikes.

July 20. — As far as the selling end of
the business goes, there is little to record,
as most everyone who has money to spend
is away on vacation, either touring or at
Summer resorts. It is questionable if
flowers could be sold, no matter what
efforts were made. Of course there is
always a little funeral work to be done,
but outside of this things are very quiet
indeed at the stores.

However, at the greenhouses there is
much to be done. The annual tugging and
sweating at those twin jobs, rebuilding
benches and emptying and refilling, being
carried on with more or less vigor, ac-
cording to the weather conditions, and
then comes the planting. All is hurry and
bustle, so that when evening comes one
wonders what there is in this florist busi-
ness that holds him to his job and why
he is not somewhere in the automobile,
gasoline or ice cream business, and thus
make a little money for his old age or
present spending. But there it is; not-
withstanding the hard work and small
profits, we rarely break away after a few
years in the business, and we always man-
age to get through the work somehow.

The weather conditions have been fine
this year for outdoor stock, and Carna-
tions will go into the benches in good
shape. Inside stock is also doing well,
and it looks promising for good crops
early in the Fall when business will open
up again.

The coal and labor propositions are
looking quite interesting just now, as a
coal shortage is developing, and most of
us have not made any contracts for a
Winter's supply yet. We relied on the
Government's promise to keep the mines
open, but now a car or two of coal on
hand would be quite a good thing to have.
However, we are hopeful for an early
settlement.

William Thomas underwent a rather
serious operation recently, as a result of
overstrain while lifting. He has got back
home now and convalescing nicely, but it
will be some time before he is able to
regain his customary vigor. S. B.

Summer trade for the most part has
been fairly good and only with the ad-
vent of the real warm weather, has busi-
ness lapsed into a period of quietude. As
far as those who possess greenhouses are
concerned, this is quite a proper condi-
tion, for if it were not the dull Summer
months, many needful tasks would remain
undone. The supply of good flowers is
continually on the wane, and soon the
only available stock will come from the
gardens. Rubrum and Easter Lilies are
available as are also Roses and the ever-
shrinking Carnation. The rainy season
of a few weeks ago, with its resultant
cloudy weather and cool nights, greatly
prolonged the life of the latter and some
really excellent blooms have been offered.
However, most Carnation plants have
by now gone the way of their fathers and
have given place to the fresh young stock
which shall constitute next season's supply.
Empty benches of a short time ago are now
filled with the seasonable Chrysanthemums.
The empty ones are undergoing the annual
process of cleaning. Large pots are
stored away for a future day and in their
places we find an ever increasing number
of seedlings in their tiny quarters and
struggling lustily to earn the right to
gain admission to the select circle of the
Sin. or 6in. pot which shall crown a sea-
son's careful work.

Today the sun has hidden himself and
in his stead we have the quiet restfulness
of a rainy day affording relief to the
indoor stock and giving a respite to him
whose task it is to handle the hose.

In the stores, of course, the real lull is
apparent and the vacation list is the thing
of most importance. Many flee to the
country or lakeside and those piscatorial-
ly inclined, take a day off now and then
with rod and reel and a suitable compan-
ion. Fishing, somehow, seems to be the
direct adjunct of the florist business.

News Notes

Mulholland Brothers report an ex-
ceptionally heavy business for the month
of June and the first part of July. Geo.
Mulholland, who has been ill for a consid-
erable period, is now well on the road to
recovery and able to attend to affairs at
the store.

Prosperity is in ample evidence at the
establishment of H. Louis Menand for we
observed with much interest a classy new
Buiek roadster in front of the store. We
imagine that Mr. and Mrs. Menand will
find time this Summer to tear themselves
away from this altogether absorbing
business.

H. G. Eyers had recently the largest
wedding in the history of the house. We
understand that the value of the decora-
tions totaled nearly $2000.

In addition to the florist business, Mrs.
H. B. Thayer has installed ice cream tables
in her store in hopes of educating the
people to remember her location in the
Summer months.

George L. Russell spends most of his
time just at present on his farm. The
industrious George has large plantings of
Asters and Gladioli, not to mention fruit
and vegetables.

Bill Gloeckner is just as strong for
the F. T. D. in Summer as any other
time. If you don't believe it, non-mem-
bers, go in and mention the subject to
William. J. S. H.

Newport, R. I.

A recent wedding, that of Mrs. Cynthia
Roche Burden to Guy Fairfax Cary of
New York, gave the local florist, or flo-
rists, worthwhile business.

The floral decorations consisted of 11,-
000 Columbia Roses, brought from New
Y7ork. There were thousands of other
blossoms, together with potted plants,
ferns and palms.

At one end of the reception room, where
the wedding took place, there had been
arranged an altar of Columbia Rose trees
and Delphinium against a background of
ferns and Roses. Leading up to this were
white aisle posts, decorated with
piuk Roses and Delphinium, tied with
white ribbon and white Roses. The can-
opy was cut off with large bows of white
ribbon, and at each side of the prie dieti
were clusters of Columbia Roses and Del-
phinium. \

The entrance way to the house was
banked with Hydrangeas, as well as the
veranda and there were Gardenias for each
one of the guests.

Aug. 1.— Illinois State Horticultural Society. Sum-
mer convention at Champaign, 111.

Aug. 2. — Massachusetts State Vegetable Growers
Association. Annual convention at Boston, Mass.

Aug. 3 and 4. — Kansas State Florists Association.

We will have to be granted a little more time — for
cooling off purposes — -before we make reply to the
latest effusions of the Federal Horticultural Board.

Under the orders just issued by the Interstate Com-
merce Commission at Washington, priority of rail-
road traffic has to be given to the following: Food for
human consumption; feed for livestock; perishable
products : coal, coke and fuel oil.

It rained July 15 in New York City. Just a few
drops. Sufficiently apparently to keep St. Swithin
stirred up to wrath, because almost every day since
heavy rains have fallen, and when there has been no
rain," cloudy weather has been prevalent.

Coal for This Winter

Far be it from us to strike a pessimistic note on
the coal situation ; nevertheless we cannot forbear
cautioning our readers to prepare for eventualities,
more especially those who have to depend on long
distance hauls for their supplies. At this writing
there is not the slightest sign of a resumption of min-
ing activities and Government activity in the direc-
tion of affording protection is not likely to bring a
flood of skilled union workers back to their mines.
From the way the strike endures, one would imagine
that the major portion of these men had found tem-
porary work at other occupations. Those familiar
with labor conditions realize this is easily possible
for the reason that common labor is one of the
scarcest things we have with us today in the United
States or Canada. Then, when the mines do start up,
there is the North and Northwest to be first supplied.
If the Government issues priority orders this will be
for the benefit of the railroads, public utilities and
the masses. After that the more essential industries.
It was established during the war that the florist
industry was an essential one and for that reason
the same ruling may be expected to apply again, al-
ways providing that the Government is driven to this
extreme.

The railroad situation, while difiicult, is not, we
think, at all in the same category of menace to the
growers as the strike of the miners, but even here,
quick action, even if peace should be made with the
men on strike within the next week or two, will still
leave a car shortage. In fact, such a shortage is al-
ready in existence.

It is altogether too bad that at a time when trade
the country around is reviving and reaching an apex
it had not touched for many years, that these labor
troubles should now beset us.

All concerned should unite in very fervent hope
and prayer, as well as each one use his or her per-
sonal efforts, to the end that much misery, suffering
and financial loss may be avoided by a speedy ad-
justment of both of the untoward conditions now
confronting us.

Since the foregoing was penned, tie Government
has taken the drastic steps predicted as relates to all
railroads east of the Mississippi River — really the
only one thing to be done under the circumstances,
and necessary in order to avoid high prices, profiteer-
ing and a wild scramble for supplies.

Summer dullness may be resting on the face of hor-
ticultural industry, but certainly there is no dearth
of news and no dullness apparent in all the recent
issues of this paper. Our columns continue as full as
ever and all signs point to a still further increase
with the coming of cool weather.

With regard to our announcement of the forthcom-
ing book, "Fritz Bahr's Commercial Floriculture,"
which appeared in our issue of July 22, we must con-
fess we had been hoping for a hearty response in the
way of orders, but we are more than gratified with
the handsome way in which these orders are coming
in, and can't help acknowledging it. A great tribute,
this, to the popularity of Fritz Bahr and the good
work he is doing for the benefit of the florists of this
country.

The Exchange wants everyone to know all about
Kansas City in advance of the big S. A. F. conven-
tion there. We expect it to be numerically one of the
heaviest in attendance of delegates, and in point of
valuable results achieved one of the most satisfac-
tory— which is saying much, because every recent
convention has seen completion of certain progres-
sive work and the outlining of other achievements to
be consummated. Because of this we must be ex-
cused if this issue and especially our Convention Num-
ber are given largely to Kansas City and Convention
matters.

There is such a thing as going too far — and it looks
as though Dr. Marlatt and his F. H. B. had finally
"gone and done it." Misrepresentation and out and
out propaganda they have been fairly successfully
getting away with, but when, in an official document,
they belittle and cast slurs at the chairman of a
standing committee of the S. A. F. and O. H. and the
official, signed report of that committee — their ac-
tions tend to rouse the resentment of all fair-minded
folk — whether friendly or antagonistic to Quarantine
37. Recent comments in all the trade papers and
verbal comments throughout the trade are unquestion-
able proof that the Board has overreached itself.

Kansas State Florists Association

Last Call for Second Annual Convention

The second annual convention of the Kansas State
Florists Association to be held in the Chamber of
Commerce at Fredonia, Kans., Aug. 3 and 4, will
open on Thursday at 9 a.m., for the registration of
delegates. Opportunity to register will continue un-
til noon, during which time the directors will hold
their annual meeting. From 1 p.m. to 3.30, an F. T.
D. conference will be conducted under the chairman-
ship of J. F. Ammann and from 3.30 to 6, the first
business session will take place, including various
general discussions of interest. At 6 p.m., visiting
delegates will leave on an automobile ride (in the
course of which some greenhouses will be visited),
returning at 7 in time for the association dinner, for
which an interesting program has been arranged.
This includes an address by President W. H. Culp
and short talks by six of the association directors.
A general introduction of the members one to another
will then take place and the rest of the evening will
be spent in a social way.

Friday morning from S to 9, directors will hold a
second meeting, after which another business session,
at which officers for the ensuing year will be elected,
will be held until noon. After lunch, the association
will come together to hear papers on "Advertising;"
"The Cause, Effect and Cure of Price Hiking on Red
Letter Days," by ex-President C. E. Hubbard; "Com-
mon Problems of the Florist and Entomologist," by
Prof. S. J. Hunter; and "Sidelines for the Florist."
Demonstrations in the art of making sprays, designs,
brides' bouquets and corsages, will be given by Hugo
Neff, of the Muehlebach Flower Shop of Kansas City.
At six o'clock in the evening will start the annual
picnic and jollification.

The directors of the association have long been
planning and arranging for a meeting which will be
second only to the coming national Kansas City con-
vention. The above-mentioned address by Mr. Hub-
bard is one of exceptional significance and will be
handled fearlessly as well as comprehensively by
him. The demonstration features, modeled after Max
Schling's successful New York School of Floristry,
are certain to attract attention and prove exceeding-
ly helpful. Of the 148 members of the association,
fully 95 per cent are expected to be at Fredonia, to
swell the expected attendance of more than 200.

Fully 90 per cent anticipate journeying thence to
Kansas City.

The Kansas State Association, though only two-
years old, is certainly entitled to commendation. That
its progress is appreciated is indicated by the follow-
ing generous list of firms that have taken space for
the trade display : Bayersdorfer & Co., C. L. Dickman
Glass Co., Vaughan's Seed Store, C. C. Pollworth Co.,
Poehlmann Bros. Co., Raedlein Basket Co., Kansas-
City Wholesale Cut Flower Co., A. Henderson Co.,
Rice & Co., Pittsburgh Pottery Co., Ove Gnatt Co.r
A. L. Randall Co., Stuppy Supply Co., W. W. Barnard.
Co., C. A. Kuehn, wholesale florist.

American Gladiolus Society

The full schedule of premiums to be awarded at the
thirteenth annual exhibition of the American Gladi-
olus Society, Kalamazoo, Mich., Aug. 16 and 17, has
just been received from Secretary David Tyndall,
Brockton, Mass. The exhibition is under the auspices
of the Kalamazoo Chamber of Commerce and the
"Club of Little Gardens." There are many note-
worthy prizes offered, running from $20 to $100, and
the general premium list is exceptionally full. All in
all it looks as though a more complete show of Glad-
ioli is expected than has been the case in any pre-
vious recent year.

The one drawback lies in the fact that the dates
are identical with those of the S. A. F. convention at
Kansas City, thus dividing forces, as many would
like to see the Gladioli exhibition but feel allegiance
to the S. A. F., and per contra. Those intending to
go to the exhibition should address Allen C. Frink,
of Kalamazoo, Mich., for hotel reservations. An auto-
mobile ride around the city will be given on the morn-
ing of Aug. 17.

Wholesale Dahlia Growers Association

J. K. Alexander, of East Bridgewater, Mass., presi-
dent, announces that the annual meeting of this asso-
ciation will be held at Hotel Pennsylvania, New York
City, Monday, Aug. 14, from 9.30 to. 12 a.m. and from
2 to 6 p.m. The meetings will be held on the mezza-
nine floor, and the room number will be posted in the
hotel lobby, also on the mezzanine floor. It is hoped
that the members and all who are interested will
have luncheon in a group, as this will make the meet-
ing much more interesting.

It will be a meeting of great importance to Dahlia
specialists and all interested in Dahlias commercially.
Among other things to be discussed will be the posi-
tion the society wishes to take relative to Quarantine
No. 37. Legislation on a protective tariff will be dis-
cussed.

Means of fighting the European Corn Borer will be
discussed, and legislation on the subject taken up.

Minimum wholesale and retail prices will be talked
over, and means of marketing any surplus stock will
be discussed.

Unity efforts will be considered and plans made
so that buyers who fail to pay their bills will be
known to all members of the association, as a means
of protecting them against loss.

Mr. Alexander will advocate a systematic discard-
ing of inferior varieties of Dahlias, as .a means of
clearing them off the market, and replacing them
with better more up-to-date varieties. Many varie-
ties now commonly grown are inferior to newer ones
that are as yet little grown ; the latter are far su-
perior, being more abundant flowering, and better in
shape and color.

All interested are invited to attend, and to bring
any suggestions toward the improvement and ad-
vancement of the Dahlia industry in this country.

Germantown (Pa.) Attacked by Jap Beetle

Like the warnings that appear in an invaded coun-
try in advance of the approach of a conquering army,
signs have been posted along the main streets of a
certain section of Germantown, Pa., say the local
newspapers, announcing the quarantine instituted to
check the advance of the Japanese beetle. This pest
has now been found within the city limits north of
the 22d Ward into which no plants or nursery stock
may now be taken until inspected. The total area
now infested by the beetle is said to exceed 270 sq.
miles and, for the first time, it is reported that the
insects are injuring the fruit as well as the foliage
on orchard trees.

In addition to the rigorous quarantine which is
being applied to practically all farm products moving
from the infested district, the authorities are placing
some hope of checking the invasion upon the large
shipments of the beetle's natural enemy parasites
which arrived from Japan last Spring, and upon other
shipments soon to be received and distributed over the
pest ridden region.

Society of American Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists

38th Annual Convention, Kansas City, August 15, 16 and 17

Information furnished by JOHN YOUNG, Secretary, 43 West ISih Street, New York

Railroad Travel

The 'official program for the Kansas City Conven-
tion is off the press, and copies have been mailed to
every member of the society. With each copy was
enclosed a railroad identification certificate, which,
when properly filled out, entitles a member, and mem-
bers of his family, to a return ticket at the rate of
one and one-half regular fare. This certificate is
absolutely necessary to get the reduced rate. Any
member not receiving a certificate should make im-
mediate request of the secretary for one.

It should be borne in mind that the railroad certifi-
cate is good only for a member of the society in good
standing, and his family. Anyone not a member of
the society and wishing to travel to Kansas City at
the reduced rate, should take out a membership, the
cost of which is $5. Remittance should be made to
John Young, secretary, 43 West 18th St., New York,
and a railroad certificate will be promptly forwarded
with a membership card.

State Vice-Presidents

State Vice-Presidents are urged to send in their
annual reports to the secretary, addressing them
either to his New York office, or in care of the Muehle-
bach Hotel, Kansas City. State Vice-Presidents are
also reminded that the official program of the con-
vention provides for a conference of these officers at
the Wednesday evening session. President Pennock
will preside, and is anxious to have all Vice-Presi-
dents in attendance take part in it. Any who cannot
be present at the gathering are urged to send in sug-
gestions or recommendations bearing on the possi-
bility of closer cooperation and support by State offi-
cers in the society's work.

The Trade Exhibition

There is still a limited amount of space in the
Trade Exhibition for prospective exhibitors, but ap-
plications for locations should be sent to the secre-
tary immediately, addressed in care of the Muehle-

Exhibitors should communicate with the secretary,
in care of the Muehlebach Hotel, their requirements
in the way of official signs for their exhibits, enclos-
ing the necessary copy. Three lines are permitted on
each sign, name, business and home address. Particu-
lar attention is called to the importance of having all
decorative material used in booths fireproofed be-
fore placed in position, thus preventing the possibility
of annoyance after the opening of the exhibition.

New Directors

Two new directors are added to the list of directors
under affiliation — James W. Begbie, Shreveport, La.,
president of the Texas State Florists Association, and
C. Leslie Whipp, Jacksonville, Fla., president of the
Florida State Florists Association.

Secretary's Kansas City Address

The secretary will arrive at the Muehlebach Hotel,
Kansas City, on Saturday, July 29, where all com-
munications on convention matters should be ad-
dressed. Correspondence on other matters should be
addressed to the New York office, 43 West ISth st.

to all listeners-in to attend the S. A. F. convention,
delivered by Wm. L. Rock.

Florists within a 1000-mile radius of Kansas City,
who are possessors of radio receiving equipment, are
urged to tune in at 360 meters on that evening, and to
urge all their radio fan friends to do likewise. Here
is a chance to have people by the thousands and tens
of thousands hear a message about floriculture and
horticulture.

In view of this it is also suggested that all florists
advise the editors of their local papers, so they can
carry a special announcement of this even in their
radio columns. Here is, indeed, a wonderful chance
to get in contact with the press and to promote a
splendid publicity scheme.

American Carnation Society

There is an announcement in the Official Program
which has just been mailed out to S. A. F. and O. H.
members to the effect that there will be a meeting of
the board of directors of the American Carnation
Society on Thursday, Aug. 17, at 9 a.m. This is an
error. There will he no such meeting.

Ladies Society of American Florists

The annual meeting of the L. S. A. F. will be held
Wednesday, Aug. 16, 1922, at 10.30 a.m. in the Muehle-
bach Hotel, Kansas City. The reception to the mem-
bers and members of the S. A. F. and O. H. will take
place on Wednesday evening in the ballroom of the
Muehlebach Hotel, at S.30 o'clock.

The secretary will have an office in the Convention
Hall on Tuesday ; on Wednesday at the hotel.

Two amendments to the constitution will be acted
upon at the annual meeting, both having been passed
as motions at the meeting in Washington in 1921.

Art. 9, Sec. 2 was voted to read : "Members to be
reinstated on payment of $4 back dues, but not en-
titled to life membership until after two years."

Art. 11. — The L. S. A. F. shall have one entertain-
ment during the annual meeting, restricted to mem-
bers of the L. S. A. F. and their families and mem-
bers of the S. A. F. and O. H. Guests of members,
except a lady member's escort, admitted by paid
ticket only.

Miss M. C. Gunterberg, president, has appointed
Mrs. J. J. Hess, Omaha. Neb., as auditor for the
year 1922. Mrs. Albert M. Herr, Sec'y.

A Garden Beautiful at Sing Sing

Some news travels slowly. Interested as we all are
in the establishment of gardens in the prison en-
closures, it comes to us but today that a flower gar-
den exists in the prison yard of old Sing Sing, N. Y.
F. R. Pierson from his Scarboro gardens recently
sent two wagonloads of supplies; Adolph Lewisohn
has also contributed from his famous gardens. Pack-

National Association of Gardeners

Arrangements for Annual Convention at
Boston, September 12 to[15

A meeting of the New England Branch of the Na-
tional Association of Gardeners and the Convention
Committees was to be held at Horticultural Hall,
Boston, on Friday evening, July 28, to complete the
plans for the coming convention of the association,
which is to take place in that city, Sept. 12 to 15.

The first two days of the convention will be de-
voted to business meetings, and the annual banquet,
which will be a unique affair, will be held on the
second evening of the convention.

On the third day, the famous North Shore will be
visited, the attendants to the convention leaving Hor-
ticultural Hall early in the morning in automobiles.
The finest gardens in Beverly Farms, Manchester,
West Manchester, Prides Crossing, etc., will be in-
spected. The party will then proceed to Ipswich to
become the guests of Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Crane on
their extensive estate at Castle Hill Farm, where a
real New England clambake will be served. Later,
the beautiful gardens of this 2500 acre estate, of
which Robert Cameron, the president of the associa-
tion is superintendent, and its five mile coast line,
and rolling dunes of white sand, will be inspected. A
stop will be made at Cedar Acre Gladioli and Dahlia
Farm of B. Hammond Tracy on the return to Boston,

The Florists' Exchange

and other places of historic interest will be passed
en route.

On the last day of the convention, the noted Arnold
Arboretum with its matchless collection of trees and
shrubs, and part of the Boston parkways will be
visited. Later, the visitors will be taken to Cam-
bridge where, under the shadow of Harvard College,
the world famed collection of glass flowers in the
Agassiz Museum will be seen. Leaving Cambridge,
historic Lexington and Concord will be visited and,
later, the famous Walter and Henry S. Hunnewell
estates in Wellesley with their wonderful specimen
trees and shrubs.

Oklahoma State Florists Association

Annual Convention, Tulsa, Okla., July 13 and 14

As briefly announced last week (see page 212), the
second annual convention of this association was a
marked success.

The meetings were conducted in a setting of palms,
baskets of flowers, flags and bunting. The trade dis-
plays occupied the main floor and made an impres-
sive showing as you entered with clusters of palms,
ferns, baskets, wreaths and prepared foliage, art pot-
tery, gasoline cultivators, etc. The bulb men had
their spaces attractively decorated with Gladioli and
Zinnias.

The meeting was called to order by President Gray
and Invocation rendered by H. O. Hannah, of Sher-
man, Texas. O. O. Boston, of Tulsa, Okla. (in the
unavoidable absence of the mayor), extended the
greetings of the city of Tulsa to the visitors at the
convention. Response was made by A. E. Koehle, of
Mangum, Okla.

President Gray's annual address appeared last
week.

Following the splendid address made by J. F.
Ammann, of Edwardsville, 111., a temporary Okla-

homa State F. T. D. organization was formed ; the
officers elected were O. O. Boston, Tulsa, Okla., presi-
dent ; G. W. Preston, El Reno, vice-president ; A. E.
Koehle, Mangum, Okla., secretary-
Following the meeting a barbecue was held at
Sand Springs Park with extemporaneous talks from
exhibitors and visitors. Enid was selected as the
next convention city. Percy Cowan, Enid, Okla., not
Corvan as given last week, was elected vice-president,
and C. A. Batten,' of Oklahoma City, director.

Resolutions were adopted condemning "Crepe Chas-
ing" and florists allowing over the usual discount of
20 per cent to the undertakers and agents. A mo-
tion was offered by O. O. Boston, of Tulsa, that any
florist guilty of using the above methods would be
reported to the president and directors, who would
take the matter up with them, and if the practice was
not stopped, the defaulter would be dropped from
the association. The motion was unanimously
adopted.

The convention closed with a farewell address by
President Gray, who thanked those who attended,
and at this time also arranged a special train of
Oklahoma florists to attend the National convention
at Kansas City. O. O. B.

Growers, Tell Your Story Through The Exchange

When David Lumsden, of the Bureau of Plant In-
dustry, Washington, D. G, was in this office a short
time ago, he made the remark that he could not
understand why men in all parts of the country who
were growing stock now embargoed through the
operation of Qu. 37 did not make the fact known to
the trade.

We availed ourselves of Mr. Lumsden's statement
and asked in these columns that those who were
doing these things make their brothers in the trade
acquainted with that fact.

it is pleasiug to note that these men are now com-
ing to tne tore and The Floeists Exchange is being
favored with stories of what is doing in different
localities.

One of the latest of these, and one which we feel
sure every grower in the country and every retailer
as well will be interested in, is that one to be found
in this week's issue: "Orchids in New Jersey."

We do not at all agree that the operation of Qu. 37
has made this establishment possible, or that it is
required that Qu. 37 should be enforced to enable it
to continue to prosper ; neither do we believe that the
owner himself has that feeling. Reading the story
caretully it strikes us forcibly that this entire and
wondertul establishment has been progressed to "its
present degree of perfection and is so maintained
through pure grit, perseverance and the best of cul-
tural methods.

Coal Situation Becomes More Serious

Priority System Instituted — May Inflict Severe
Hardships on Florist Trade

orities very similar to that in effect during the war
will be enforced, under which all cars loaded with
coal will be distributed in accordance with orders
issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission.

It is now recognized that under no circumstances
can there be a plenitude of coal next Winter and the
Government will take steps to supply coal first to
the railroads, second to the public utilities, third to
the essential industries and then what is left to other
industries. Every effort is to be made to provide a
small reserve for the Northwest, to be drawn upon
during the Winter when the weather makes it impos-
sible for current supplies to get through. In the East
it will be necessary to provide a similar reserve for
the railroads and public utilities, especially in the
Northern section. The railroads and public utilities
now have very little coal; in fact, one or two of the
Eastern roads, it is said, are already practically de-
pendent upon such coal as they can pick up.

Under the priorities enforced during the war the
florist industry was placed far down on the list of
industries. It is presumed that it will be given a
similar rating this year. Whether they will get any
coal at all depends upon the volume mined. Even if
the union mines resume work in the near future the
florists will not be assured of an adequate supply.
The situation is far more serious than the general
public realizes. Inside of three months the demand
for coal will start in some sections of the country
where real cold weather will have set in and in those
three months it will not be possible to do more than
provide small reserves for the Northwest and for
strictly essential activities in the other sections of
the country.

The distribution of coal will be made difficult by
the lack of motive power. The regulations of the In-
terstate Commerce Commission regarding the required
condition of rolling stock 'before it can be sent over
the road are severe and will result in hundreds of
cars and locomotives being practically tied up. This
may make it impossible to move all the coal mined,
and even when the railroad strike comes to an end it
will be some weeks before all the equipment now to
be tied up can be put into service.

The hard coal situation is also serious. There has
been absolutely no coal mined in the anthracite fields
since April 1, and there is practically none available
in any section of the country. 'Priority orders govern-
ing territory east of the Mississippi River, have been
issued providing such coal first for the Northwest,
and then for other sections. Consumers will not be
allowed to place large orders for either hard or soft
coal, but every effort will be made toward an equi-
table distribution of such supplies as may become
available. C. L. L.

Washington, D. C. — The florist industry next Win-
ter may have to fight the same conditions that ex-
isted during the war when the distribution of coal
was limited to essential industries. A system of pri-

A clever merchant, with a knowledge of hot
weather psychology, says a recent article, drew trade
to bis windows by means of large paintings of lus-
cious Watermelons. It further states' — rather unnec-
essarily it seems to us — that the paintings were done
in water color. Of course; what else? Peering over
our shoulder at this moment, our facetious Ad. Man
(just back from his vacation) remarks that it is for-
tunate that he didn't employ pictures of Olive Trees
or Castor Bean plants. "They would have been so
much more expensive," be remarks, "for they would
certainly have to be done in oil !"

5000 members, which means around $150,000 a year
as a budget. The Chamber handles the charity chest,
■having one man exclusively on that job.

For Those Who Travel by Auto

THOSE who drive to Kansas City should ask
"Bob" Fields, Kansas City, Kan. He is chairman
of the automobile committee of the local florists
club, and has charge both of arrangements for motor-
ists driving to Kansas City, and of the motor cars
to carry visitors to scenes or places they wish to get
acquainted with.

The first injunction then to florists motoring to
Kansas City, is to write to Mr. Fields. He will see
that they get information on routes to Kansas City
and on what to do when they get here. Those who
may not have a chance to write to Mr. Fields, will
still receive some benefit of his advance planning.
for the data that will help tourists, will be sent to
automobile clubs of cities through which the tourists
will pass, to be there for them when they call.

The touring information bureau of the Kansas City
Automobile Club makes this offer and suggestion :
Advance information of any special or general na-
ture will be sent to any automobile club asking for
it, and up to the minute road information, as to con-
ditions, will be wired to such clubs, if desired.

Florists planning to tour will naturally look to
their local automobile clubs or touring information
bureaus for help on routes out of their own terri-.
tory. Those not having local clubs are advised to
seek data at once from clubs in nearby cities, or in
traffic centers. When they ask for such information,
they should also suggest that such clubs communi-
cate with the Kansas City Automobile Club, and
establish the program for last minute information.
It has also been suggested that publicity for the
convention may be secured in every district, through
the automobile clubs and the information bureaus.
Florists who ask for data may also suggest that
news items be published, giving the facts as to road
conditions, and pointing to the value of this informa-
tion for the tour to the S. A. F. and O. H. convention
at Kansas City. <-

There are two or more plans which tourists will
follow, upon reaching Kansas City. Wherever they
"land" here they will be directed either to the camp-
ing ground or the garages where they may put up
their cars. One camping ground, maintained by Kan-
sas City, Mo., is near the Union Station. Another,
maintained by Kansas City. Kan., is about six miles
from the business district, but it is a splendid camp-
ing place, with all facilities.

Most visitors will probably garage their cars, and
stay in hotels. The Kansas City Automobile Club
offers facilities of its official garage, at member's
rates, to as many as can be accommodated. This
garage, and the club headquarters, are at Tenth and
Wyandotte sts., two blocks from the Muehlebach
and one from the Baltimore Hotel.

Tourists from the Southeast will probably head
for St. Louis, where latest data on road conditions
can be secured. Roads across Missouri — formerly
noted for poor condition — are vastly better this year,
because every route has been kept in as good shape
as possible in the contest for designation as State
highway. August is about the best part of the year
for travel by auto across "Missouri, when there is

least chance of unfavorable conditions. Tourists from
Northeast and East probably will cross on the fine
Indiana and Illinois roads, many of them down
through Iowa, where roads are well kept.

Kansas City has 21 National highways. Therefore,
information as one approaches Missouri will be easy
to get, and markings will be fairly easy to follow.

Growers Around Kansas City

Visitors to the convention will be given all possible
assistance in reaching the places of growers which
they may wish to inspect.. Many of these establish-
ments are within the city limits, and easily acces-
sible. Some of them can be noted on any tour of the
city, since they are in the finer residential districts.
The Kock greenhouses are in this category as are
those of Samuel Murray, W. J. Barnes, Chandler,
Sunset Hill Gardens, Austin, Barbe, Ellsworth's
Rosery, and others. The Alpha Floral Co.'s houses,
showing many new features, are near Overland, and
in that same district are several others.

Some of the finest ranges, especially of the whole-
sale growers, are near Independence, Mo., a suburb
of Kansas City. "Ed." Humfeld has houses there, as
well as in Kansas City. "Bob" Fields is in Kansas
City, Kan.

E. H. Frandsen

One of the Independence growers whom many have
known for the past ten years, is E. H. Frandsen, ex-
clusively growing Roses. He has just completed

A nook in a park of the Rockhill district, sho

cleaning and planting 14,000 plants, in his 2S,000ft.
of glass. The oldest is three-year stock ; his custom
is to grow four years only. He has plans for in-
creasing capacity to 150,000ft. of glass, having that
boiler capacity.

Another old-timer that will be found at Indepen-
dence is R. B. Tindall, in this locality for 40 years.
His son, R. E. Tindall, now handles the heavier work
of the establishments.

John Stevens

John Stevens is a name known to most Eastern
houses by correspondence and by acquaintance with
the man himself. He is one whom visitors will want
to meet and know. Incidentally, he is one of the
youngest of the well-known Rose and Carnation grow-
ers in the country. He's been growing "for himself"
for about six years. One thing that distinguishes
Mr. Stevens from many growers is that he is willing
to tackle the new and the big things. He is one of
the few in this territory who cares to take on the
extremely valuable varieties, and pioneer their in-
troduction to the Western trade. Easterners ought to
appreciate that, for no doubt many of them have been
disturbed over the apparent hesitancy of Western dis-
tributors and retailers, and of growers, to help them
in the introduction of new varieties.

Mr. Stevens established his own range about six
years ago at 5Sth and Bennington. On May 3, 1920,
a hailstorm broke every pane of his 55,000ft. of glass,

and ruined a wonderful stock of Carnations and other
flowers. He had planned to cut 50,000 Carnations for
that Mother's Day.

He has "come back." He has 67,000ft. of glass in
'his new houses east of Independence, Mo., where he
has IS acres that lie as beautifully for floral work
as one could conceive. Every inch of the ground is
useful. Here he is growing Madam Butterfly, Co-
lumbia and Premier Roses and Carnations. Tie plot
was a Wheat field in July 1921, and visitors can see
what he has done in that short time.

He has 14,000 Rose plants. Outside he has Carna-
tions; big blocks of various kind, notably Laddie,
Mrs. T. C. Joy, and his own Matcheer. The plants
are thrifty, and visiting florists who are not familiar
with the habits of these varieties may be much in-
terested in observing them..

The new houses are also worth looking at— the
latest type, with angle iron posts and beams and re-
inforced glass, and with side wings whereby extra
ventilation is secured in Summer, which reduces tem-
perature materially. A railroad switch is being run
to his boiler room, whereby coal may be dumped from
cars into pits.

Ed. Humfeld, Grower, Retailer and Decorator

"Ed." Humfeld is an old timer in growing flowers
in Kansas City, even though he seems a young man.
He's big and vigorous, and outspoken — especially out-
spoken with his appreciation and kindliness. One of
the hard workers in the local organization and the
chairman of the Entertainment Committee for the
convention. Mr. Humfeld grew flowers at his houses
in the city, at Admiral boulevard and The Paseo, for
many years. Recently he tore down these houses
and erected a flower shop, where he sells at retail,
also building growing houses on his farm near Inde-
pendence. He is there growing much outside stock,
which he distributes at wholesale. Mr. Humfeld has
for more than twenty years handled the decorations
and the flower plots at Electric Park, "Kansas City's
Coney Island," at its various locations. Visitors will
observe his work when they attend the annual enter-
tainment of the convention, at Electric Park. As a
grower, Mr. Humfeld is perhaps best known for his
Gladioli; and he has some varieties which visitors
may perhaps be given a glimpse of, but which may
also perhaps not be named to them. They are in
process of development. Visitors will be interested in
the location of his shop, which is at the north end of
the wide, planted Paseo that extends practically the
length of the city.

Plant Quarantine No. 37

Dr. C. L. Marlatt, of the Federal Horticultural
Board, has issued what he calls a "Record of the
Endorsement of Quarantine 37," but fails to state
that the extensive document is very largely made up
of the opinions of paid Government officials, who of
course, will support the Government in anything it
proposes with regard to the restriction of plant and
bulb imports. If they fail in that, the Government
most likely, will discontinue their services and sala-
ries, which are very important considerations in
these days of high prices.

Dr. Marlatt defends a long list of nurserymen, evi-
dently as a measure of conciliation, but carefully
omits their individual opinions. Dr. Marlatt's doc-
ument (HB-152). dated June 30, 1922, gives no space
to that large section of the business world and gen-
eral public, which protests against the law, and its
administration. — American Florist.

The Florists* Exchange

Orchids in New Jersey

{Concluded from page 255)
Artificial Scarcities

Some of those lost and rediscovered species were
deliberately lost and he can tell a story of how he
once broke a market for one such species. The stock
in cultivation was, as usual, dying out, and no more
was being collected. Seeing the drift, Mr. Jones got
his collector on the job and the bubble was "busted."

A Business Concern Pure and Simple

Certainly it requires no particular knowledge to
convince anyone that the Thos. Young range has a
remarkable collection of orchids; the mass of labels,
and a number in every pot, sufficiently indicate that
hundreds of the hybrid Cattleyas, whether L-relio, So-
phro, or Mossise, are either the result of division or
are seedlings so alike that no other number is needed.
Mr. Jones does not name nor register any of his
seedlings, although if need be they are one and all
for sale when stocks permit. If anyone desires to
buy species or hybrids it's all the same to this firm,
unless the stock is short. Anyone may take up 5000
of C. labiata or gigas, but not at the price of im-
ported stock; that goes without saying, and yet Mr.
Jones sees the day coming when he may want the
room these species occupy, or else several more big
houses will be required.

Apart from the Cattleyas mentioned the hybrid
Fabia can be seen in quantity along with thousands
of Lrelio Catt. Canhamiana and many others.
. Of course, only a few odd blooms were to be seen ;
mid-July is between seasons, but some beautiful hy-
brid Cypripediums were flowering. Of this class of
orchid a considerable quantity is grown but no spe-
cies. Only Phalamopsis are grown in baskets sus-
pended from the roof; all the rest are grown on
benches. In the large houses, the center is carried
up in tiers, so that all plants get the same light. A
boardwalk runs along the center under the ridge, so
that watering can be done from above with the hose.
Beneath the benches, the Skinner system is operated
for damping down. City water is used entirely, and
it comes straight from the faucet.

The entire range is heated by six enormous steam
boilers, although part of the system is hot water,
heated by steam. The orchid houses all have water
heating with steam in reserve. The shipping room is
extremely large, yet is often taxed to capacity.

All told the Thos. Young outfit is immense, con-
sidering the class of stock handled. The range is situ-
ated in a delightful neighborhood, and is overlooked
by a long range of timbered hills. The whole place is
clean and shows that the owner and Mr. Jones do not
consider it time ill spent to keep the surroundings
more or less like that of a private estate.

The National Publicity Campaign Under Fire

An Attempt to Clear the Air After an Unfortunate

Mud-slinging Controversy that is Likely to Get

Nowhere

The umpire's lot is often a thankless, and rarely a
pleasant one; but he seems to be necessary in the
interests of fair play and ultimate progress. It is
with these objects in mind that The Exchange is,
rather unwillingly, giving space to the consideration
of an acrimonious discussion that is of little enough
value itself, but that may possibly provide a founda-
tion for constructive future efforts.

The facts are, briefly, these :

In The Progressive Florist for June appeared, un-
der the name of G. B. M. Stumpp, a scathing, rather
sarcastic indictment of the present national adver-
tising activities of tie florist trade, the criticism be-
ing directed at those who have the National Publicity
Campaign in charge — which includes, of course, both
the advertsing committee of the S. A. P. and the
P. F. O'Keefe Advertising Agency, which carries out
its ideas.

Shortly afterward we received from the O'Keefe
Agency the manuscript of a lengthy reply to the ar-
ticle with the request that we publish it. This we
refused to do, on the grounds that we had not printed
the original article and that fairness demanded the
printing of both (which lack of space prevented) or
neither. We further stated that the logical place for
the reply would be the pages of The Progressive Flo-
rist where, we assumed, it would duly appear. Inas-
much as this has not transpired, it seems but fair to
mention some of the points and answers made, and
to state our opinion of whatever justification and
merit they possess.

In effect Mr. Stumpp complains that although Na-
tional Publicity "put over" the "Say it with Flowers"
idea, it has since failed to follow up the advantage
gained and make the most of "thousands" of oppor-
tunities offered by flowers for increasing their sales.
Of these thousands (?) of plans he mentions but
one — the use of the boutonniere — urging that the

National campaign should devote itself to bringing
this habit into popularity and widespread use among
the men of the country.

In his criticism he is not entirely consistent, for
in one paragraph he says that "everybody is looking
for national advertising, clamoring for it, but none
of us seem to want to put any money into the pub-
licity fund," while in another he 'asks, "Is there any
reason why the florists should not have what they
are clamoring for and willing to pay for." Again,
while he candidly admits that he does not "know the
advertising game," he does not hesitate to imply that
what is being ' done along advertising lines is all
wrong; and while he refers to his criticism as "con-
structive" the fact is that the only definite sugges-
tion he makes "is in regard to the boutonnief e, the
greater part of his paper being, as he frankly says,
designed to make the publicity committee "sore
enough to make their blood run faster." It might be
debated whether" an increased blood flow, so stimu-
lated, is conducive to better advertising efforts.

In an editorial note, The Progressive Florist says
truly that "here is matter for thought and discus-
sion." It further says that Mr. Stumpp "voices the
thoughts of many who have hoped in vain for a
dominant advertising campaign that would reach and
stir to action the entire country." Its fears that 'the
"Say it with Flowers" slogan is endangered by ridi-
cule at the hands of vaudeville performers, etc., are,
we believe, unfounded. As a matter of fact, every
paraphrase is but added publicity for the original
and added fuel for the buy flowers campaign.
Whether the slogan is in danger of rusting away
from disuse is another question which the trade
must look into and answer before it is known whether
or not Mr. Stumpp does speak for the majority.

In the reply, two things seem to us unfortunate.
In the first place, Mr. O'Keefe also adopts the rather
sarcastic, antagonistic tone which tends to "make
the blood run faster" rather" than to bring about a
calm, sympathetic discussion of existing difficulties
and means of removing them. In the second place,
we wonder whether it should not have been the
S. A. F. advertising committee rather than its em-
ployed advertising director who should have made
reply called for by Mr. Stumpp's article.

As Mr. O'Keefe points out, if the trade is not satis-
fied with what is being , done, or the manner of its
doing, it should officially call the committee to ac-
count and give it full opportunity to state its case. As
a further suggestion, the coming S. A. F. convention
should provide the logical opportunity for Mr. Stumpp
or anyone else to bring their charges, present their
constructive criticism, and have the matter thorough-
ly thrashed out.

The reply takes up the original article paragraph
by paragraph and in some cases, at least, seems to
puncture Mr. Stumpp's arguments. It points out, for
instance, in connection with the latter's remark that
the practical test of successful advertising is the
tinkling of the cash register, that during recent years
the florist trade has enjoyed unprecedented prosperity
and successfully weathered a period of severe eco-
nomic stress. Surely this must have been, at least
in part, the result of the Publicity Campaign. It
denies that the florists have been asked to accept the
publicity plans "ready made," stating that proofs of
all proposed copy were sent out in advance for con-
sideration and criticism. It refers to the firm estab-
lishment of "Say it with Flowers" as a nationally
known slogan at a cost of less than $100,000 as an
accomplishment of tremendous lasting value, and
ridiculously cheap as compared with other national
advertising results. And it points out, finally, that
it is hopeless to look for advertising activities and
results so long as there is reluctance on the part of
so many to contribute the essential funds therefor,
and a tendency on the part of some to criticize in
such a way as to still further obstruct the flow of
financial support.

Here, probably, is the crux of the situation. Na-
tional advertising in magazines of wide circulation
requires the buying of space months in advance.
Without cash in hand to do this, any campaign is
faced by two alternatives: To get maximum space
on credit (if possible), or to borrow funds (if per-
missible) in the expectation of contributions being
sufficient to meet future bills ; or to keep the adver-
tising down to the space for which cash is in hand.
Either course is likely to arouse dissatisfaction. The
former may lead to disaster if the trade members fail
to back up the work; the latter may stimulate criti-
cism such as that of Mr. Stumpp.

throw a wet blanket over the Publicity Committee's
efforts and to raise a. doubt in the minds of those,
even if comparatively few, who may have read Mr.
Stumpp's article as to the propriety of continuing to
subscribe to the publicity fund.

While the National Society has quite a large fund
in reserve, it has been deemed unwise to entrench
upon that money for any purpose, and Amendment
No. 12, to be offered at Kansas City, if carried, will
tie up these funds to a point where it will require
practically concerted agreement and a long notice of
action before these moneys can be touched for any
purpose whatsoever. Just how best to raise the nec-
essary funds, or to have money in sight, before open-
ing the year's campaign is a detail not within the
scope of this article. But it occurs to us that in
order that the National Publicity Committee should
know just how much funds it is going to dispense in
the course of the year, it should know just how much
it is going to have. Numerous ways have been tried
out in the endeavor to solve this, but none so far
have succeeded. Perhaps on the strength of the old
saying that "What is everybody's business is no-
body's business."

In this connection, here is one suggestion for the
Publicity Committee: Would it not be possible to
underwrite a guarantee fund of $30,000 to $40,000
among 500 or 1000 of the trade. To raise $40,000
from 4000 members of the S. A. F. itself would rep-
resent an average of a $10 contribution from each.
To secure 400 .guarantors of $100 each from 400 lead-
ers in the trade, certainly seems feasible; said guar-
antors to take their chances of being repaid from
contributions at the close of each fiscal year. Surely,
and for the honor of the society, this amount can be
raised year after year. As national advertising goes,
$40,000 is but a drop in the bucket, and yet through
the possession of our wonderful slogan, this money's
worth, of advertising, properly engineered, can be
made to cut a pretty wide swath.

What is requisite right now is to cut out all per-
sonal attacks and rebuttals, and to leave the handling
of the subject with the National Publicity Committee,
which is now in a position where it might well ask
for a vote of confidence.

Understanding fairly well the work which has been
done by the National Publicity Committee to date
and appreciating this work and what it has accom-
plished to the full, it is to be deplored that public
criticism such as was printed by the Progressive Flo-
rist should have made its appearance in print, espe-
cially when it is noted that the criticism leads no-
where and accomplishes nothing whatsoever save to

Canadian Florists and Gardeners Association

This society will celebrate its twenty-fifth anniver-
sary, Aug. S to 11, with headquarters at the Windsor
Hotel. Montreal. An elaborate program has been pre-
pared and, between meetings and entertainments, the
entire four days will surely be profitably occupied.

Casting one's eyes backward over the years that
are past, the writer is sensibly aware of the wonder-
ful progress made by the C. F. G. A. since W. W. Gam-
mage was president in 1S9S-99. In its own way it
has kept progress with its larger sister on this side
of the border. In those early days it was thought
almost sinful to devote any time whatsoever to recrea-
tion, and the three meetings each day, for three days,
were packed solid with business, papers and discus-
sions. Today, we are pleased to note that our Cana-
dian friends are opening out on the entertainment
side as well as on the business end, and while the
latter part of the program shows no indication of
relaxing, the entertainment portion certainly makes
one feel as though the members were going to have a
remarkably good time, there being something doing
each and every day, except Thursday.

We know that all American florists who can be
present will be heartily welcomed, as of old, and
made to feel completely at home. In the early days
the business transacted was one almost entirely con-
cerning the growers of plants and flowers; for this
year we note that an entire session is to be given
over to the retailers, with demonstrations and discus-
sions of designs, bouquet making, baskets, etc., all of
which serves to remind us that recently we have heen
publishing paragraphs from here and there, showing
this same idea being carried on in different cities of
the United States. Max Schling' of New York has
undoubtedly set a great, big ball . rolling. His good
work on behalf of the retail florists is being emulated
to what must be of great advantage to all retail flo-
rists.

Montreal is one of the most pleasant of cities to
visit in the month of August. It is not far over the
border and as the C. F. and G. A. convention comes
a week ahead of that of the S. A. F. and O. H., we
can advise, whosoever can go, with a clear conscience
to take in Montreal the week of Aug. S. They will
undoubtedly see much and learn more.

Copies of the program for the approaching con-
Rumors are difficult to deal with; but, sifting as
closely as possible, it does appear that already some
750,000 tons of coal are coming here from Great
Britain. This supply appears to be intended princi-
pally for certain railroads of the East and some of
New York's larger public utilities.

Carnation Growing in the South

A Paper read by Eugene Woerz, Ardmore. Okla.,
before the Oklahoma State Florists Con-
vention, July 13-14

TO thoroughly discuss growing Carnations, it
should begin with the propagating of the stock.
It is assumed that you have a good stock to
propagate from. The following method we have used
for the last six years and found very successful for
the southern part of Oklahoma. We usually start
propagating about the 20th of December. We gener-
ally have one man to look after taking the cuttings
from the plants, one who has been on the place a long
time and is acquainted with the habit of the plants.
He is very careful to select cuttings from only
healthy and thrifty large plants and avoids all signs
of wild growth, which some plants are apt to make.

Now that the cuttings are taken, the next step is
to put them- in clear, fresh water in a clean bucket
and left there for about one to one and one-half hours
to harden and freshen up good while another lot is
taken, and these are done the same way, keeping each
variety labeled and dated.

Inserting the Cuttings

Later the cuttings are sorted and some of the long-
est get a light trim on top. However, about 90 per
cent go in the sand without being touched with the
knife. They are placed in clean, sharp, fresh sand
and the sand is changed after each lot, the bench
whitewashed and cleaned so that good drainage is
carefully assured.

We prefer a house with low temperature, one about
52 deg. to 55 deg. In this they will root without any
shade over them except some whitewash on the glass
to keep the extreme sun off. As soon as about eight
or nine rows are in, they get a good watering. This
firms the sand and also keeps them fresh. After this
watering, they only get a very light spray each bright
day just to keep the sand moist. In about 24 days
we take them out. We have never failed to root 95
per cent and have usually rooted every cutting that
was placed in the sand.

The next is to take the cuttings out of the sand.
Some like to dip them in water to get the sand off.
This we do not like as it causes the fine roots to band
together in a ball and we find they do not start off so
good as plants or cuttings that are left to go a little
dry the last few days when most of the sand will
fall off; at least enough to make it easy to pot up.

Potting Up and Planting Out

We pot up in 2in. pots and set them on a 'Mum
bench where they are left until they go in the field,

but they are not forgotten. They are topped as soon
as they get large enough.

The next move is for the field which is some select
soil, clean, well drained and well cultivated. We usu-
ally plow our field in November and leave it lay
rough ; in the Spring we either plow it again or disc
it according to the condition of the soil. About the
last of March we get this land in fine shape and by
April 1, we start planting out. We plant them in
rows ISin. apart and 8in. in the rows : this we con-
sider one of the very careful jobs. Each plant is
planted just as deep as it was in the pot; not deeper
and not shallower.

After the stock is in the field we keep the ground
well cultivated and also go through them with the
hoe but most of the work is done with the wheel hoe
and hand or garden tractor.

The Importance of Topping

Another very important thing during this stage is
the constant watch for topping which is done as soon
as each plant is ready, and not wait until all are
large enough as some would be too long ; we go over
them often and catch those that -need it.

About July 1 this stock is all fine, bushy plants and
is ready for benching. Generally, we start . this
work in the first or second week of July and always
try to get through by the 15th to 20th of the month.

In about ten days after benching, when the plants
get well started, we again top the plants going over
them two more times ten days apart. This is done
to divide the crop more and give us more blooms in
late December, January and February and not quite
so early. We have no use for very many Carnations
until about Dec. 1. Local conditions must govern
this part.

Mulching

Mulching Carnations in the benches with well
rotted horse manure run through a %in. screen is
usually done about 30 days after benching on a very-
light scale and after the plants have been hand culti-
vated three or four times and all little weeds have
been cleaned from the benches. This is done not to
feed the plants but to help keep them from drying
out so fast and also to keep the surface from getting
hard from watering. Our soil is quite stiff; on more
sandy soil this is not needed so much. Then about
January we give them a good mulch that carries
them through.

Some Important Pointers

Before closing this it might be well to state a few
other important facts. Never use land for field grow-
ing more than three years without changing crops.

Do not use Cotton fields for planting or getting your
bench soil from, and do not use manure where cotton
meal has been fed.

If you are bound to water your plants in the field,
be careful not to overdo it as here is where you start
a great deal of your stem rot trouble. We never
water our plants in the field but retain the moisture
with the cultivator. A Carnation plant will stand
lots of dry weather if well cultivated and the soil
kept fine on top.

Early Flowering Summer Hydrangeas

The handsomest and most valuable of these eastern
Asiatic plants is the so-called Climbing Hydrangea
(Hydrangea petiolaris) of Japan. This plant was
first raised at the Arboretum in 1878 and is now seen
in a few American gardens. A plant now growing on
the Administration Building is one of the great sights
i if the Arboretum, for it has grown with unusual
vigor and is clothed with leaves and covered with its
broad heads of flowers from the ground to the eaves
of the building. The leaves of few plants unfold here
so early in the Spring, and there is but one other vine,
Schizophragma, with deciduous leaves and showy
flowers able in this climate to attach itself firmly to
a brick or stone wall, or to the trunk of a tree. The
flower-clusters, surrounded by a circle of sterile flow-
ers, are from Sin. to lOin. in diameter and terminal
on short ' lateral branches which stand out from the
body of the plant and give it an irregular surface
which adds to its interest and beauty. The best
known of the shrubby Hydrangeas and the first to
flower is 77. Bretsehneideri, a native of northern
China and first raised at the Arboretum in 1SS3. It
is a large, vigorous and hardy shrub with dark green
leaves and every year is covered with its flat heads of
flowers surrounded as in the other species with sterile
white ray flowers. Several of the Hydrangeas dis-
covered by Wilson in western China also flower in
June and can be seen on the southern slope of Bussey
Hill and on Hickory Path near Centre St. 77. Ros-
thornii is now the tallest and probably the most vigor-
ous here of these plants. 77. xanthoneurea and its
varieties WilsonU and setvhuenensis, although closely
resembling in their general appearance H. Bretschnei-
deri, are interesting additions to the June flowering
shrubs. — Arnold Arboretum Bulletin.

Prof. P. A. Lehenbauer Goes West

Prof. P. A. Lehenbauer, whose valuable papers on
soils and fertilizers have appeared in The Exchange
from time to time, the most recent, in our last issue,
July 22, has accepted a position as head of the de-
partment of horticulture at the University of Nevada.

For some years he has acted in the capacity of
Professor of Plant Pathology at the University of
Illinois, Urbana, 111., and apart from his scientific
work has devoted not a little attention to the breed-
ing of strains of flowers suited to the Middle Western
climates.

The Market

The market is overstocked with
flowers and it's hot; yes, very hot work
trying to dispose of the same.

The past week was a sorry one for the
grower as well as the wholesaler; there
is no business to speak of, and prices
are exceedingly low. Roses have never
been so plentiful at this time of the year
and for July they are exceptionally good,
but no demand. Even the fine long stem-
med stock goes begging.

Gladioli are topping the market with
heavy arrivals, but even the high grade
fancy varieties bring but small returns.
Asters are improving in quality and quan-
tity and are selling fairly well. Gigan-
temn Lilies are plentiful, with prices cor-
respondingly low; Rubrum in good de-
mand and has been selling up ciean.

Not many Cattleyas about and there is
little call for Valley. The advance guard
in the Dahlia line has arrived, but only
a very few. There is a good variety of
other flowers including Phlox, Zinnias,
Gypsophila, Cornflowers, Stokesia and
Gaillardia.

The situation as regards Asparagus
fronds from the South is troublesome; the
cases are piled up sky high in some of
the wholesale houses. Even the native
hardy ferns are not very active.

Stephanotis floribunda. Do you know
this famous old time plant, with its deep
green foliage and wonderful clusters of
pure white fragrant flowers? It is one of
the noblest of greenhouse climbers and we
have seen but one plant in recent years.
It is flowering right now at Samuel
Feast & Sons' greenhouses. Made up in
a bridal bouquet, it was thought far su-
perior to orchids in the old days and as a
historic fact, Queen Victoria's bridal bou-
quet was made entirely of these beautiful
white sprays. Mr. Feast has always been
successful in flowering Stephanotis and
regrets that the present day floral work
only sees it for a short while each year.

The Market

Very warm weather continues and
trade is at a standstill. Flowers of all
kinds show the effects of the heat; Roses
are coming in fairly good, Columbia and
Milady being the best. A few good Pre-
mier are seen also. Gladioli are arriving
freely and bring 3c. to 4c, and poor grades
much less. Carnations are about over.
Once in a while a few good ones are
seen.

Transient trade is slow; funeral work,
an occasional hospital bunch or a birth-
day gift form the only outlet. There re-
mains a month or more dull business.

Odd Notes

Vacations are being taken in turns
by all branches of the trade; quite a few
are painting and fixing up their places
for the coming season. A large crowd is
expected from St. Louis and vicinity to
attend the S. A. F. Convention.

A large crowd from St. Louis attended
the meeting at Rhode Island, 111., of the

Gladioli is seen; the stock appears to
move lively.

New Orleans, La.

The Market

July 22. — There was a little more
activity on the local market this week.
The first four days seem to have gone well
with the trade, large orders for funerals
being pretty well distributed among the
down town florists. The last two days
things were rather quiet. The uptown
florist shops do not seem to be as hard
hit by the Summer lull as those in the
business district, practically all reporting
conditions fairly good for this time of
the year. These shops come in for a
greater share of the cut flower and basket
business, since they are located in the
residential sections, and they also receive
the majority of the orders for patients
at the hospitals and sanatorwims.

Prices remain steady, few changes be-
ing noted over the preceding week. Large
numbers of Gladioli are seen in most of
the shops; these are in good condition,
bringing from $2 to $2.50 a doz. Asters,
too, are beginning to be a big factor on
the market and are coming in strongly
now. Some fine Japanese Lilies i have
made their appearance in several stores
and are used largely in design work. One
florist stated that he mingled these with
Valley for corsages and that they made
a striking combination, resembling orchids
when put up. These retail from $2 to
S2.50 a doz.

Tuberoses came in heavily after the
last rain, which caused them to open fast.
The local supply is quite enough to fur-
nish all city dealers so that there is little

need for outside shipments. Some few
come in from Chicago, but the big con-
signments come from Texas, where they
can be bought at lower prices, but of
inferior quality. A large shipment from
there last week, flooded the local market.
Roses are about the only other flower
with much call and the supply is prac-
tically all home grown Radiance.
Society Elects Officers

The feature of the meeting of the
New Orleans Horticultural Society held
Thursday night at the Grunewald Hotel
was the 37th annual election of officers.
Harry Papworth of the Meterie Ridge
Nurseries was elected president to suc-
ceed C. W. Eichling of the Avenue Floral
Shop. Louis Reuter, seedsman, wras elected
vice-president, C. L. Ory was re-elected
secretary, and John Eben, wrho has served
as treasurer for 37 successive terms, was
again chosen to fill the post.

Reports of the regular yearly outing
at Little Woods were read, followed by a
talk by ex-President C. W. Eichling on
the Legislature. He said that $50,000
additional had been apjiropriated for the
betterment of entomological work in
Louisiana. An important issue in this
work, he said, is the eradication of in-
sects and fungi harmless to plants of the
State in order to avoid a proposed quar-
antine on Louisiana plants, by neighbor-
ing States.

Monthly meetings hereafter will be
held at the homes of members and this
will continue throughout the Summer sea-
son. According to the plans of Mr. Pap-
worth, several members of the society will
speak at each meeting, their subjects
ranging on the plants with which they
have been successful. "Successful Raising
of Dahlias in New Orleans," which has
been the subject of much discussion, will
be treated at the next meeting.

By a majority vote, the society endorsed
the campaign for the eradication of the
Argentine ant. After the meeting ad-
journed the members were entertained at
supper in the Comus Restaurant.

Greenhouses for City

The Park Commission Nursery will
be enlarged by at least 4500 additional
square feet, it was decided at a recent
meeting of the organization, and plans
were discussed for the erection of three
new greenhouses to be built in the Fall at
an estimated cost of $7000.

Rapid growth of the city and building
activity in new residence districts
prompted the board to provide a larger
nursery, according to President Douglas
of the commission. Next year, when many
homes will be erected, the commission
plans to put trees in front of every new
residence and also in front of property
that is without such beautification.

The new greenhouses will be 100ft. x50ft.
Bids on the material have been received
but no purchases have been made. It is
probable the greenhouses will be bought
direct.

News Notes

P. A: Chopin has been elected chair-
man of the City Beautiful Committee of
the Chamber of Commerce. This commit-
tee will have charge of beautifying the
city streets and encouraging householders
to keep their premises attractive.

Scheinuk, the Florist, stated that he
had done a fairly good business during
the past week, his entire supply of flow-
ers coming from his own greenhouses. Mr.
Scheinuk had two especially attractive
window displays of cut flowers, Roses and
Blue Bells in French baskets; Tuberoses
and Gladioli in tall slender ones; a few
pot plants, some ferns, just enough to give
the right touch, and behind all two won-
derful inlaid screens to serve as a back-
ground. Mr. Scheinuk announced his in-
tention of attending the Kansas City con-
vention in August.

Charles Eble and his son were found
busily engaged in the process of making
up some wreaths for their Summer trade
so that the writer was given an oppor-
tunity of more leisurely examining their
unique little shop on Baronne St., just a
few steps from Canal. We found our-
selves in a most inviting garden nook,
the walls of which were made of stone
with here and there a tiny plant or flower
peeping its head from behind a stone or
rock. Directly in front of us was the
oiitside of a picturesque brick bungalow
with two French doors opening onto a
stone porch in one corner of which was
a writing desk looking as if it were
placed there at anyone's disposal. Above,
one saw Wistaria, great clumps of them
in their purple glory, hanging from a per-

gola which extended to one wall and cov-
ered a tinkling little fountain built of
rock and covered with fern in which the
red of a gold fish showed now and then.
Stone benches placed here and there
throughout the garden made one want to
stop and admire the view of the nearby
landscape painted on the walls above the
stone; a place to linger in on a balmy
Summer day.

Entering the shop of Frank J. Reyes,
we thought that we had unexpectedly
walked into a Gladioli nursery, so many
of the blooms were in evidence. A ship-
ment of 2000 had just been received from
Knoxville, Tenn. Mr. Reyes stated that
he expected another thousand the next
day. This florist seems to have been bit-
ten by a "bug" which makes its home in
Biloxi, Miss., for he was seen over there
last week and announced his intention of
going over again today.

J. G. Schattmaier of the Meterie Ridge
Floral shop on Carondelet st. had a fine
selection of home grown Radiance Roses
on hand, which came from the nursery at
Meterie Ridge.
Workers Busy at Laboratory

An increased interest in injurious
pests and plant diseases in New Orleans
is evident by the inquiries received by
the entomological division of the State
Department of Agriculture. The realiza-
tion is growing, it is said, that pests and
diseases are of surpassing importance to
plant life.

A large "fumigatorium" is attached to
the new laboratory of the division at
Eighth and Magazine sts. and plants are
treated with hydro-cyanic acid gas before
shipment, insuring as far as possible that
all insects are killed. Thousands of
plants have been treated, not only for
shipment, but for nurserymen^ who have
taken advantage of the laboratory facili-
ties to have decorative palms and other
plants freed from scale and other in-
sects.

The division gives advice on ant con-
trol, the boll weevil, citrus, orchard, for-
est and farm crop insects and diseases.

The Market

There is more than an ample sup-
ply of flowers for all occasions and es-
pecially Gladioli. While these are popu-
lar and most useful as a flower, there
are some who will not buy them, and yet
have no more an excuse thaa they simply
do not like them, or they are a little
heavy and coarse. Gladioli never were
better, or to be had in greater variety,
than they are this year. With the week-
ly showers, they have attained wonder-
ful size, and many of them have as many
as twenty buds to a stalk. The facts
of the matter are that everyone is gone
or going into the Glad, game, and the
result is that the thing is soon going to
be run into the ground. It will soon dis-
courage the newer growers, for right now
the retailer is buying all the stock he
wants and is reaping a fine harvest. All
the retailer has to do is to say the va-
riety he wants, rather than what price
he will pay. Imagine buying fine Prince
of Wales and Francis King for three and
four cents. However, some are trying to
hold the market up to five and six cents.
Roses as a whole are being cleaned up
daily at prices varying from five cents on
the short to fifteen on the long. Premier
and Columbia and Russell are the lead-
ers, and for Summer Roses, they are some
• mighty good stock. There are a few Car-
nations coming in, mostly white, and these,
while of a fair quality are bringing 3c.
Easter Lilies and Valley are still coming
in at 6c. on Valley and 15c. on the Easter
Lilies. The quality of the Easters is
very good.

Annual Larkspur is fast coming to an
end, and also Snaps. Coreopsis and Zin-
nias and Cornflower are a glut on the mar-
ket, and rot at any price. Some nice
fancy Daisies are coming in at 2c. Bud-
dleia is making its first appearance this
week, and also the Asters. Jap Lilies are
very plentiful and are being used very
heavy in funeral work. As a whole, the
week was, a very quiet one. Saturday
brought more business than all the week

League convention, intend co spend an-
other week at different local resorts.

J. J. Hess returned Saturday morn-
ing from a ten day fishing trip in and
around Minneapolis. Mr. Hess has some
fine fish stories to tell, and reports some
good catches, among which was a 10 lb.
pickerel. From his general appearance,
he must have had a wonderful time.

Miss Clara Shymanski is on the vaca-
tion list of the J. Bath firm, and is spend-
ing most of her time at David City, Neb.

C. E. Landon is making preparation
for erecting a new range of glass at 46
Charles st., Council Bluffs, Iowa. Mr.
Landon has a small range now in opera-
tion and, besides, is growing a nice stock
of hardy stock and G-ladioli.

The following note appeared in the local
paper this week: Friends of Miss Emily
Peterson waited in vain for her to ap-
pear in the Walther League parade, that
they might present her with a beautiful
corsage of pink Roses as a token of their
esteem. The bouquet was made up by
the employees of the Hess. & Swoboda
shop where Miss Peterson was formerly
employed. The corsage was later presented
to her at the picnic at Council Bluffs.

J. Bath left with a party of friends
last week for the second annual mountain
hike. At Estes Park .they will join one
of the Louis Byerly tours. The party re-
turns July 30.

Harold Henderson returned this week
from his trip over several States and re-
ports local conditions much better than
in several other cities. Miss Emma Swed-
land resigns her position with the Lois
Henderson firm on Aug. 5 and Miss Mil-
dred Shoberg will resign on Aug 12. Miss
Shoberg and Miss Swedland are plan-
ning on going to Denver, Colo., but as
yet have not decided on what line of
work they will take up.

Among the out of town florists with us
this week we have had Mr. Forshaw of
Pendleton, Ore.; George Dennis of De-
troit, Mich.; A. B. Cherry of Le Grande,
Oregon; E. S. Gomes of St. Louis and
Mr. Steele of Portland, Ore.

Geo. Swoboda and family are still on
their motoring trip around the lakes of
Minnesota. T. E. Evans.

Pittsburgh, Pa.

Edward, have just returned from a visit
to their son and brother, DeForest Lud-
wig, at Bradford, Pa., who is just recover-
ing from a serious illness.

Chas. Ulmer of Mrs. E. A. Williams,
Inc., is on the job again, having just re-
turned from a visit to Atlantic City and
an auto tour of the East.

Jos. King of the A. W. Smith Flower
Stores Co. and family are enjoying a
month's vacation at Edinboro, Pa. Mr.
King is an ardent fisherman and no doubt
when he conies back he will have tall
stories to tell.

It was the writer's pleasure to spend
the week-end as a guest of The John Keil
Co. of East Liverpool, Ohio, and I never
had a more enjoyable visit anywhere.
The Keil Co., while practically a young
concern, is growing fast and has a nice
range of glass on the outskirts of town.
Thev are enlarging it this year.

Earl Hunkle of The McCallum Co. is
spending part of his vacation calling on
the trade with Ross Adgate. Ed. Niggle
and E. C. Tipton of the same company
with their families are leaving Sunday
on a ten day auto trip. They don't
know where they are going but they ex-
pect to get there. E. C. Tipton.

The Market

Business in this section can be
summed up in one word, "Rotten." This
is not a very nice word to use, but I can-
not think of any word that suits the sit-
uation better. Whether it is the strikes
or just general conditions, I cannot say,
but nevertheless business is poor. With
the exception of Gladioli, there is no
large supply of any one item, but even
with a short supply, stock does not move
like it should, nor does it bring the price
it should.

Roses are in short supply and the qual-
ity is none too good. The stock received
runs mostly to the shorter grades. A few
Carnations are still to be had, but the
quality is poor. Gladioli are the main item
at present and the supply is top heavy,
especially with the mixed varieties. Such
varieties as Schwaben, America, Marshal
Foeh and Frances King, when in good
shape, find a ready sale, but the mixed
varieties are overdone and have to be
moved at a loss.

Asters are also in heavy supply, but the
quality of the early stock is not as good
as usual, and as customary, the growers
have stocked heavy on purple which are
hard to move. It seems as tnough they
would never learn, as they laKe a loss on
these every year. The supply of Lilies
is small, but at that there are enough
for all. Some of the growers are now
cutting their second crop of Delphinium
and while it is not as good as the earlier
crop, it finds a ready sale.

Other outdoor flowers are in heavy sup-
ply and include Achilla?, Daisies, Scabi-
osa, Gaillardia, Coreopsis, Baby's Breath
and Strawflowers.

The supply of Southern plumosa is top
heavy at present and some of it is ar-
riving in very poor shape.

News Items

The Pittsburgh Florists and Gar-
deners Club have made all arrangements
for their annual picnic to be held Wed-
nesday, Aug. 9 at Turner's Park, Perrys-
ville, Pa. The various committees report
that everything is being done to make this
the best picnic in the history of the club,
and a large turnout is expected.

Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Ludwig and son,

Hartford, Conn.

Hartford is still on the map, but as
always at this time of year, things are
very quiet. There is not much news of
any sort. During the month of June, the
usual number of weddings took place,
some large, some small, but they all had
flowers.. Now we have settled down into
our mid-Summer slump.

The principal topic ol discussion here-
abouts is the weather. It has rained
nearly every day for over six weeks; in
fact, all records at the Weather Bureau
for precipitation in June and July have
been broken. The results are somewhat
as follows: Geraniums — a good many of
them have been lost; Carnations — only
fair condition; Asters — most of them poor;
Gladioli — some good, some poor; indica-
tions all point to a decided shortage of
Geranium stock. And the worst of it is
that the weather gives no indication what-
soever of mending its ways. Indeed, it
is raining hard this very minute.

The vacation season in the stores is
well under way; a good many of the clerks
have gone and others will take theirs in
the near future. They will keep busy, of
course, cleaning stock, taking inventory,
etc., preparing for the Fall. In the green-
houses, too, housecleaning is in order;
painting and glazing are all part of the
day's -work.

A new Hitchings house is being erected
by Hallgren Bros., which will be ready
for occupancy in the Fall.

The new house built by The Lord and
Burnham Co. for the Cedar Hill Green-
houses is nearly completed. Another week
will see the house rilled. A. F. L.

Louisville, Ky.

In our issue of July 15, page 148, our
representative wrote of the purchase of
greenhouses on Goss ave. by A. F. Rozelle
as being made from George Schulz. In
this connection the Jacob Schulz Co., Inc.,
which operates a retail store on Fourth
ave., and a nursery at Bardstown road
and Gardener lane, desires that we em-
phasize that the houses under mention
where not purchased from that company,
as they do not wish their clientele among
the retail florists to labor under the im-
pression that they have sold out their
business.

In and Around the Hub

Oswald Ralph, the South Wymanth
florist, has the sincere sympathy of many
friends on the death of his son, George,
in his 24th year.

Jack Hunter, representing W. M. Hunt
& Co., New York, was a caller last week,
and attended the club picnic at East
Milton.

Thomas Roland already has many Cycla-
men in 7in. pots. All are in perfect health
and look better than ever.

Donald Carmichael of Wellesley re-
turned July 20 from an extended Cali-
fornian trip. He attended the convention
of the Mystic Shrine held there.

Johnson Knight, manager of the Co-
operative Market, returned July 22 from
a pleasant vacation spent at Marblehead.

The Mann Co. is one of the few firms
handling Didiscus ccerulea. It does not
take particularly well here.

Edward Bingham of Dedham is one
more grower tiring of Violet culture. He
says the labor, picking and bunching is too
great. He will grow Sweet Peas and
'Mums mainly in their place, but will re-
tain one house of Violets.

Gustave Thommen, the esteemed cor-
respondent of The Exchange, is enjoying
himself in Florida, and was with F. W.
Fletcher, Orlando, July 19. He is sur-
prised to find so much sentiment in the
South favorable to the Eighteenth Amend-
ment.

John T. Slayter of the A. Leuthy Co.
is back with his wife and family after
an enjoyable vacation spent at Plymouth.

Eber Holmes, manager of the Halifax
Gardens Co., finds so strong a call for
Roses in nearby cities that he thinks he
may eventually plant his entire range
with them.

J. K. Chandler & Sons of Tewksbury
will this season grow many Bachelor But-
tons, Yellow Marguerites, Chfrysa^ithe-.
mums and Sweet Peas.

Indications all point to a record break-
ing Gladiolus Show at Horticultural Hall,
Aug. 12 and 13. The New England
Gladiolus Society will offer many prizes.

S. J. Goddard of Framingham has the
bulk of his Carnations planted. He says
stock never looked better.

The site on Broadway for the new
flower market has been given up and other
favorable locations are now under con-
sideration. Money is coming in freely
from the growers and over $100,000 is now
in the bank.

In the Arnold Arboretum at present,
the early Hydrangeas, Oxydendion ar-
boreum and Loniceras are now note
worthy, the latter on account of their
glorious showing of fruits.

In this section we have some things to
be grateful for; there are no beetles or
browntail moths left and gypsy moths were
never so few in number and promise soon
to be extinct. Here is something for Dr.
Marlatt and the F. H. B. to ponder
over.

At the late club picnic, florists and
gardeners were noted from Ipswich, New-

buryport, Haverhill, Wellesley, Natick,
Hopedale, Northeastern, Bingham, ■ Bev-
erley, Manchester, Framingham, Swamps-
cott, Clinton, Lynn, Salem, Marblehead
and Lowell, showing how popular the
picnics are.

Seymour Grove, buyer for Carbone,
with his wife and family, are enjoying^ a
vacation at Ipswich where Blackberries
and Blueberries are abundant and juicy
clams aplenty. C. N. W.

withered blooms away, and when asked
what he is going to do with them, said
he sold them to the chemists to make
medicine out of them. He produced a
small bottle of the preparation, bearing
the above label and the name of the
manufacturers. It is recommended for
the healing of jagged wounds, and for the
promotion of granulation. Of great value
in the treatment of old sores, ulcers,
scalds, burns; prevents suppuration and
promotes healing; in fact, is a general
cure for wounds of every description. It
is well to know the old Calendula blooms
when they cease their usefulness as cut
flowers are not altogether lost. We need
more such enterprises to consume the resi-
due of the wholesale market. Probably
some day there will be a demand for the
old Rose and Peony petals, large quanti-
ties of which frequently go to waste.

John Risch of the Weiland-Risch Co.
comments on the new white Rose Angelus,
of which they are cutting a good supply
daily, as the white Rose of the future.
As a Summer variety it fills the bill, the
buds being of great substance hold up
for a long time even in warm weather.
It is better than Killarney ever was, and
an acquisition to the trade. This com-
pany is also cutting some Golden Ophelia,
of which Mr. Risch speaks in the highest
terms. In color it is much like the old
Safrano, popular 20 years ago, but of fine
petalage. It is remarkably double and
free blooming and has fine, leathery foli-
age, an important feature, and can be
used as a white in emergency. Mr. Risch
says it is a misnomer to call it Ophelia,
as it is a seedling and has none of the
characteristics of the variety after which
it is named.

The Chicago Rose Garden Growers,
Howard and Kedzie aves., in an ad in the
Daily News Saturday, recommended to
the public the three following Roses: Mr.
Maryland, clear pink; Duralop, bright
pink, fragrant, and Montrose, cerise. It
is up to the retail florists to keep these
varieties in stock should this advertising
become more general.

Geo. J. Ball, the well known Sweet Pea
grower at Glen Ellyn, who recently visited
the Sweet Pea fields in California, has
given the Salinas Index a topic for the
exploitation of the Salinas Valley in the
wonderful sights he saw there in Sweet
Pea growing. Much of what Mr. Ball
has said and written is copied in the
Index and favorably commented thereon.

Kohout Flower Growers, Inc.

Joseph Kohout of Libertyville, who
conducted business in his own name for
11 years, has incorporated his business for
$25*0,000, under the name of Kohout
Flower Growers, Inc. Mr. Kohout is
president: the treasurer and general man-
ager is Edward V. Kohout, and a nephew
of Mr. Kohout serves as secretary.

Joseph Kohout needs no introduction.
He has been actively engaged in every
movement for the betterment of the flo-
rist industry. Edward V. Kohout is a
son of V. A. Kohout, who has been a re-
tail florist for 20 years, at 3212 W. 22d
st. He served for two years in France,
and is a graduate of Chicago University.

An extensive building program is now
under way. A new boiler house and
smokestack, with a service building ad-
joining, is now being put up. Two new
Kroeschell boilers and all necessary elec-
tric pumps for the water system are now
being installed. A Kroeschell two-ton ice
machine and ice box, 10ft.x20ft.x8ft., have
been ordered to take care of the cooling.
One Lord & Burnham house, 40ft.x500ft.,
has been completed and is planted to
Premier Roses. Another of the same size
is under construction and will be ready
for planting by Aug. 15. It will be plant-
ed to Milady and Double White Killarney
Roses. All the buildings are planned for
further expansion. The new corporation
began to function July 10.

■RETAIL DEPARTMENT-

HOW MAY A FLORIST ESTABLISH # ^
* <j* BETTER CREDIT AS A BORROWER?

By ROSCOE SMITH, Manager Fort Worth Clearing House

Read before the Texas State Florists Convention, this paper exposes the importance of knowing
your business. Credit is a valuable asset; here are pointers on how to obtain it.

AS a cowman would express it, I am a "Coming
one year old" in this wonderful business called
the florist trade. My life's work has been de-
yoted to banking and bank credits. I do not claim to
know all about banking ; certainly no one individual
could master all the salient points of any business-
let alone the florist trade — within a short space of
seven months. You might be led to think I so speak
of this business as a wonderful one, on account of
that well known term, profits, but this is not the
case, for I daresay few florists in America have been
burdened by the excess profit tax in the last eigh-
teen months;

1 have been a half brother to
this industry for a long time. A
boyhood friendship continuing on
through many years; a love of
two chums which — if I do say it —
has existed with all the sincerity
and devotion of a Damon and
Pythias. This chum was a florist ;
his father before him was a flo-
rist ; and when the time and con-
ditions became propitious for this
pal to go in for himself, I was
fortunate enough to become one of
his associates.

The Florist a Dealer in Nature's
Best

From my brief entry into this
wonderful business; to me it ap-
peals as such a line of endeavor,
I take the attitude that a florist
is one who has built his success
upon those great psychological
emotions of the human heart and
mind. We are dealers in Nature's
best and most beautiful produc-
tions ; we are producing and offer-
ing to the public the most wonder-
ful creations of the Giver and
Maker of all that we have in this
world. We are in constant touch
with the heart strings of human
life, whether it be the little bunch
of flowers from the bashful boy to
his "sweetie;" the bride's bouquet
nestling close to the love-throb-
bing heart of her who is venturing
into that new life, or whether it
be the token of love and friend-
ship to the one in sickness, sorrow and distress ; an
expression of devotion, fidelity and trust "said with
flowers." This should mean that a florist, man or
woman, be of a high type of citizen and, as a rule,
you will find that this is the case.

The Meaning of Credit

How may a florist establish better credit as a bor-
rower? In the first place, let us get a full under-
standing of the strict meaning of credit. Put in its
simplest terms, credit is an advancement, either of
goods or money, such advancement being based upon
the supposed ability of the party to whom advance-
ment is made, to make payment for such goods or
money within a certain time.

Viewed from the bankers' standpoint, there are two
elements or two classes of credit — one called the
moral risk, and the other a secured risk. The moral
risk, to my mind, is most vital and important as re-
lates to the florist trade. When I mention the florist
trade, I mean all of the branches of our industry,
whether it be production or selling agencies. Ninety
per cent of florists at one time or other must have
credit or money. Money with which to carry on the
business; to take care of those important items of
overhead, such as labor, rent, taxes ; for goods with
which to stock the shelves. At times it becomes nec-
essary to ask for credit to tide over dull periods, or
periods of depression.

Since credit deals with an ability to pay, necessa-
rily this means that such an ability to pay must largely
be judged by past performances. The person who can
walk into his bank and sign his name on the dotted
line, with no questions asked, is a man who has given
due and thoughtful consideration to his obligations;
has either paid his paper promptly when due, or has,
after full explanation, made prompt payment of in-

terest due. Promptness in your attention to your
obligations goes far in establishing your credit.

What a Banker Wants to Know

The banks and such organizations, by reason of
convenience and adaptation, are most largely used in
the obtaining of credit. These banks, to a very great
extent, are loaning the other fellow's money. With
the ever increasing volume of trade ; with the added
intricacies caused by the multiplying new lines de-
veloping, and with restrictions of State and Govern-
ment being drawn closer and closer, bankers are re-

During the progress of the Hartford Rose Show last February, the retail florists of that city made history

by entering whole-heartedly into the spirit of the show. The display here shown is that of E. M* Welch's

Flower Shop, Hartford and New Britain

quired to place more safeguards around the funds
which, as trustees, they hold. The moral risk is fast
disappearing. They now are not only considering the
moral ability and desire to pay, but are demanding
that the borrower give further evidence of such abil-
ity to pay in case of unforeseen conditions that
might arise, and are asking that collateral security
be given.

In order to meet this condition, we, as florists, must
get our houses in order. Any business, whether it be
manufacturing, merchandising, or farming, is re-
solved into two elements — assets and liabilities. Credit
is based upon the relation of these two elements, and
it is upon such relationship that the banker, whole-
saler, or supply houses must be guided in extending
the lines of credit requested. You full well know the
meaning of these two terms. How many florists have
such a system of accounting that they can, at any
time, or at certain stated periods, make a complete
analysis of the past year's business? In order to
teach a dog tricks, you must know more than the
dog. In order to intelligently give your banker cer-
tain facts, you must be able to know these facts. The
average banker is a pretty shrewd human — he must
be — and he is as full of questions as a four-year-old
child. Let us imagine you are sitting across the
fable asking your banker for a loan. After the usual
procedure, he has explained how hard times are, how
tight the money situation is, and other information he
might add. He looks over his specs and begins to
fire questions at you. What is your annual volume
of business? Give your total amount of annual sales?
What is your monthly average overhead? Give an
itemized statement of your liability? What is your
percentage of loss in the extension of credit to your
customers? Based upon last year's figures, what do
you estimate your earning power will be for the com-

ing year? In your expenditure for advertising, are
you getting results? Are your ads given time and
thought, or do you give Tom, Dick and Harry ads,
thinking thereby that you are making customers and
friends? These questions are all pertinent to the
banker, even though some of them may seem imperti-
nent to you. What is your invested capital? What is
the approximate amount of property owned? What is
the condition of your assets? Do you carry a lot of
dead stock? Are you familiar with your merchandise
as to turnover. Are you specializing in certain lines?
In your organizations, are your clerks making and
holding customers? Are the goods and the condition
in which you put them out, giving satisfaction?

Know Your Business

Know your business. You can sell no proposition,
unless you are thoroughly sold yourself. Did you
know that in the last fifteen months, the florist in-
dustry has shown less depreciation than any other
industry, in sales, volume, and profits? Did you ever
stop to realize that over one million dollars' worth of
cut flowers are shipped into Texas each year?

Summarizing all of these facts, figures and ques-
tions into net results, I have reached the conclusion
that in order that florists may ob-
tain better credit as borrowers,
they must wake up to the possi-
bilities of the trade; they must
have confidence in themselves,
and pass this confidence on to the
banker and to the public; indi-
vidually, each to study his own
problem, and to adopt to his own
needs, a system or systems which
will give him certain concrete in-
formation.

I would not attempt to suggest
a system of accounting that would
enable one to make a complete
analysis or audit. There are vari-
ous and sundry methods, some
more adaptable to certain needs
and requirements than others. The
basis used by the Government in
the ascertaining of the income tax
due, is about as simple method
as can be used. Yet it is very
comprehensive in its scope. It has
to do with earnings ; from the
earnings come the ability to pay ;
and upon the earning power of an
individual or firm depends the
success or failure of the business.

Cooperation Important

Do not stop with the individual.
Let the local or community inter-
ests be combined. By this I mean
that a spirit of cooperation and
harmony prevail among the fra-
ternity ; let them practice one with
the other the principles of good
will and brotherly love. Live and
let live. The florists are as necessary and are as
vital to the community as any other tradesman. Their
pay rolls go to feed hungry mouths, build happy
homes, to do their bit in keeping the wheels of prog-
ress turning.

These conventions are great ; you can always learn
something from the other fellow, his ideas and origi-
nality; and much good is now being accomplished by
local organizations studying local problems. In a co-
operative way, they are acquainting the public with
facts and figures, and as a result the public is fast
awakening to the realization that the florist is on the
map to stay. There are lots of firms and individuals
who are dead, and who are the only ones who don't
know it. Wake up, and cooperate, and help to keep
your community alive. This confidence in our indus-
try will become contagious ; it will reach the banker,
the wholesaler, and the supply house. So you see it
is the same old story of the endless chain.

Let me not burden your further, but I assure you
that these facts, when intelligently given, will en-
able your banker to pass immediate judgment; to give
you yes or no for an answer. After having been
granted credit, guard it as you would your own life.
Credit is a good name, and a good name is better to
be chosen than great riches. Watch your step; mean-
while, watch your overhead, cut your corners, make
personal sacrifices of time and thought to your busi-
ness, and in so doing, you will become more and more
a part of it. It will be more vitally interesting to
you, and you can come to the end of your journey
with the consolation of having tried to do your best,
or as the Texas cowboy would say "you have done

your durnd'est." •

Retailers remember ! — The time, Aug. 15 to 17 ; the
place, Kansas City, Mo. ; and the event — ? Aw, "quit
your kidding!"

Adding Variety to Summer Designs

By VINCENT BEEKMAN
Tips for the Grower Florist

Anyone who can make a really artistic,
delicate design in the Summer time out
of stiff, ugly Asters certainly deserves a
silver medal, and so it is a relief when
Summer rushes come to know that the
perennial border can be called upon to
furnish something that is different.

The wreath shown in the cut on this
page is an example of the usefulness of
hardy flowers in design work. The dark
part of the wreath is made solid with the
beautiful yellow Marguerite, Anthemis
tinctoria Kelwayi, while the cluster at the
top is composed of dark blue Chinese
Larkspur, Delphinium, and Baby's Breath,
GypsopMla panicnlata. This combination
of blue and yellow is one that appeals to
the eye and is certainly a more cheerful
design for a funeral than one of solid,
dead white would be. It was really but
a few years ago when such a bright color
as yellow, would cause horror when dis-
played at a funeral, but the admiration of
such a piece as the one illustrated proves
that the public is coming to realize that
the real function of flowers of sympathy
is to cheer the living rather than simply
an offering to the dead.

In making any Summer design of yellow,
the use of Anthemis is advised in prefer-
ence to Coreopsis, for while the latter is
a beautiful yellow and a large, flower, it
does not hold up as well when out of
water. Compared to Coreopsis, Anthemis
has a large center, which looks well even
if the side petals should droop, which they
are not apt to do. It is an easily grown
perennial, blooming almost all Summer; is
easily propagated from seeds or divisions
and spreads in a year to a thick mat.
Twenty-five plants would provide a good
cut of flowers.

Don't make the mistake that many do
of having too many of these various peren-

The Telephone in Business

By A. E. KLUNDER

It does not matter what your age, sex,
position or ocupation; whether you are
just entering the great world of affairs,
or already have secured a foothold and
are struggling to advance; whether you
are at the head of a business or the least
important member of its staff — you all
have to use the telephone in some capacity.

It is well to remember that telephoning
in business counts like personality; it is
personality itself as expressed in the
voice — the complex, mysterious quality
that makes us different from each other,
and by which we succeed or fail in life.
Our voices transmit our personality to
the party receiving the message. It tells
quickly your business attitude, whether
conciliatory or not; it must ring sincere
and cordial.

Exercise Discretion

Telephoning is a study, and it is my be-
lief it requires initiative and effort, com-
bined with personality. Every call should
be studied beforehand, taking into con-
sideration any adverse attitude which may
be expected from the party called. Al-
ways bear in mind that sincere courtesy
with an intelligent answer will bring the
information or order you are seeking.
Even in the brief yes or no, your mental
attitude manifests itself; if you cultivate
the happy intonation to your voice in a
spirit of alertness, voicing a keen interest
in your prospect, success is with you.

Confidence is really the basis of control;
by being firm in your convictions and
knowing your ground, you stand firmly
on an undeniable power, for no matter
what you may meet in an adverse discus-
sion, it is your confidence in your subject
that brings results. Add to this decisive-
ness, in a diplomatic way, and you- will
lead the way to triumphant conclusions.
See chances while they are still around
the corner. Do not be deterred by re-
buffs of the "Wronsx Number" in the busi-
ness world, who delights in being abrupt
and discourteous, and who makes it his
business to get all your information and
not give his.

Speaking distinctively, eliminating the
first person singular, you must interest
people who may not have any interest in
your subject, and hold their1 interest until
you have completed your message to them.

be more clear visioned and subtle than you
are.

The Telephone Affords Variety

~No person, not even a constitutional
grouch, with a constitutional mule-like
propensity for kicking, could possibly com-
plain of any lack of variety in daily tele-
phoning, for each call differs in length,
and more are concerned in the value you
have to offer in return for taking up time.
Your adaptability counts largely in a
convincing argument. I have found the
practical, common-sense and stimulating
way is to give the information that is of
chief value to the busy party, using the
right word in the right place; remember-
ing always you are a representative of
your business or your company, and di-
rectly connected with hundreds, perhaps
thousands, of persons whom you never or
but seldom see face to face. A mental
conception of what you are and what you
want must be formed from your conversa-
tion. Your ability, your intelligence, your
manners are, perhaps, more often reflected
and judged through telephoning than
through any other medium.

Courtesy Over the Phone

In the business world, from the office
boy to the executive, these are some of the
most vitally important factors in estab-
lishing the courtesy and service of the
house which the prospective customer ex-
pects and which you should reflect. A
large percentage of the world's business
is transacted over the telephone. Few
other practices are so common, and upon
few other factors in daily life does so
much depend. To eliminate its use would
be to paralyze, at least temporarily, a very
considerable portion of commercial and
social interest.

Remember your success is, in large part,
determined by your bearing, but more
than any other single quality, courtesy
and meekness combined is the spark neces-
sary to achieve what you are seeking.

AJPo

W, Rich Florist

The Chicago Herald- Examiner pays John
Piaglou, who is a street corner cut flower
vendor, the following hearty tribute. The
big loop stores could not get as good:

On aristocratic Michigan ave. John
George Piaglou plies his humble trade.
Actors and actorines, the slinky shop
girl in her skimpy dress and the portly
gold coast madam in her angle-length
Paris frock, the rich and the poor, the
blase cosmopolite and the unaffected
rural visitor, the hypocrite, the idealist
and the materialist, all pass John's un-
pretentiuos flower stand on the north-
west corner of Adams st. and Michigan
ave.

John's flowers are not exotic orchids
or stately Roses, but rather homey
Bachelor Buttons, Phlox and Snapdrag-
ons. His blossoms exude a spirit of
friendliness that beckons the homesick
girl and boy, the tired man and woman.
The Gladioli reign in the buckets and a
short Moss Rose swims around in a
China cup without a handle.

John Knows Life

John lives. He knows life. A long-
ing look in the eyes of an underfed
clerk, a softening of the face of one
who has found the going steep, finds an
answering look in the flower man's
brown eyes or initiates a wavering
smile on his lips.

"Tour flowers are nice. I like flow-
ers." People are strangely incoherent
when they feel deeply. That is why
those who stop to smell John's flowers,
or occasionally touch them, do not rhap-
sodize over their beauty.

And John usually answers eagerly,
"You, too, like flowers." It is one heart
calling to another.

"How much are your flowers?" Peo-
ple are strangely blunt when they are
deeply moved.

Gives Many Away

"You like 'em? I give you some. You
speak nice to me. You want flowers. I
give 'em."

Thus John's heart answers. His needs
are few. His room at 1015 W. Harrison
st. is inexpensive; he does his own
cooking and his own washing. Why,
then, should he not share that which
he has with another? John asks, and he
answers in giving.

The impoverished flower man shares
with the soul hungry. They have a com-
mon bond — their love of flowers.

The disappearance of the frost tang
from the air finds John at his stand,
and there he remains, from early morn-
ing, when the invading army of work-
ers comes, to late in the afternoon, when
the loop has respite. Only the return
of the chilly winds in the late Autumn
drives John from his corner.

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever."

What's New in the Flower Shops

By ALMA E. KLUNDER

It is said that Broadway is six jumps
ahead of both hemispheres, and I quite
agree with the man who made that state-
ment. I also believe our Broadway flo-
rists are keeping up with this pace, for
what do you suppose one had in his fasci-
nating window display? Four good sized
Grape vines planted in tubs and trailed
on Bamboo canes. The canes broadened
out at the top and the vines trailed across,
and from them hung seven luscious
bunches of Grapes. The vines were
trailed to give a harp shape effect. Two
of the tubs contained green Grapes; the
others were purple. The tubs were cov-
ered with moss, and all were placed on
pedestals. The two center vines of purple
Grapes had a green tapestry draping
gracefully thrown around the base of the
tubs and extending to foreground of win-
dow. The green Grapes had deep green
velvet similarly thrown around them.

As a contrast, he had placed two very
fine bunches of Gladioli of that deep
magenta or deep red-bronze color in vases
in between the tubs. These blended beau-
tifully with the Grapes. In the fore-
ground of the window, in low bowls, he
had placed Cattleya orchids to blend with
the purple Grapes, and to blend with the
green fruit he had utilized the greenish
Cypripedium. Handsome palms drooped
their graceful foliage over the whole.

A Novel New York Shop

Now I must tell you of an unique shop
just off Fifth ave. This florist has a real
little greenhouse for his store. Glass on
all sides and a pretty window arrangement
in which he displays his novelties each
day. Hanging outside, on either side of
the door, he has as flower baskets two
pink metal parasols. I will try to picture
them to you in words. They are made
of iron and look like very long handled
ladies' parasols with round rings on top of
the handles. About half way up the
sticks the covers spread partly and form
the receptacle for the flowers (plants) .
The covers are painted pink and the sticks
are bright blue, the rings being white.
They are the oddest and most artistic
novelty I have seen in the way of a hang-
ing flower basket.

In front of window to attract the
passerby, are placed two large gazing
crystals in a black wrought iron stand
which had a few colored ornamentations
to offset their beauty. The window con-
tained a willowy palm with fancy draping
and jars of seasonable flowers.

Steamer Baskets

Going back to Broadway I saw a dis-
play of steamer baskets of small, inexpen-
sive design, made up of the natural
Strawflowers. or, as as some call them,
Everlastings. They were attractively ar-
ranged in various colors, the different
varieties being intermingled with yellow
and deep pink shades predominating. A
yellow or pink ribbon gave the finishing
touches. The florist had a big group of
them with a card announcing what they
were, and suggesting steamer orders.
Some are using streamers on steamer
baskets, carrying the words, "Bon Voy-
age," in gold in bold letters.

Our florists are certainly attracting
great attention with their unique displays
of artistry, and you usually find a crowd
admiring the displays. Broadway has all
kinds of timely ideas. One recently was
a thriller. A business man used as an
ad for his window hand painted Water-
melons. Water colors were used for his
subjects, which were humorous, and as
you can imagine not entirely unconnected

The Outdoor Touch

It is very much the fashion just now to
have a certain outdoor note in the window
display, and one of our leading florists
has a small fountain in his window, which
keeps playing its water, surrounded by
Pond Lilies and other appropriate flow-
ers of the season. I was told that this
same touch of outdoor is also popular in
dining rooms, trickling melodiously dur-
ing meals. A bird bath on a high pedestal
to hold flowers, with an artificial bird
or two on the rim. The usual greens
necessary, whether ferns or palms or Ivy,
depending upon the room and its coloring,
is the latest fad. Some are using Italian
oil jars filled with Ivy tumbling down
the sides as an additional ornamentation.
A modern oil jar, well formed, can be
painted green, terra cotta or a pretty yel-
low, depending of course upon where it
is to be used. Ivy looks fine in these jars.

Have you seen the new Vantine Scent
holders of wicker? They can dangle in
among the palms and permeate the at-
mosphere with any delightful scent. Or
they can dangle from your electric lights
and add to the ornamentation of the store.
Some of our florists are selling lavender
scent bags. One manufacturer has put
them up in attractive violet colored boxes.

Trade Notes

July 22. — Until the last two
weeks the flower business in this city held
up well, say the retailers. Eight now,
however, the florists' business is unusually
slow, duller than is customary at this sea-
son of the year. Why this should be so
florists find it hard to say. Flowers are
plentiful and unusually heavy stocks have
been received, but demand has not been
normal. Fancy Gladioli, double Gypso-
phila, good Roses and fair Carnations
have been abundant on the market here.
Some merchants are wondering whether
the railroad strike has tended to make
people unusually careful not to spend any
money for other than absolute necessities.
This would mean that the flower account
would be one of the first to receive at-
tention.

Although there is little in the market
in the way of plants, merchants have ex-
perienced some demand for them. This
has been filled by ferns and Begonias.
Funeral pieces have held up trade to some

Trade Notes

Most florist stores report business
about as usual for Summer. As a whole,
the florist business in this part of the
State has kept up well, considering the
strike of miners and railroad shopmen.
These strikes affect great numbers of men
in Scranton. A number of the retail
stores report collections are slow.

Stock of all kinds is very plentiful.
Outdoor flowers are coming in faster than
the call; as a result a lot of good stock is
wasted.

Many employees and employers in green-
houses and stores -are taking a much need-
ed vacation.

Club News

Secretary G. R. Clark whispered to
me that a great time has been planned for
the members and their friends at the sec-
ond outing at Falls, Pa., on Aug. 9. Mr.
and Mrs. T. B. McClintock, Mr. and Mrs.
Wm. MacDonald and Mr. and Mrs. John
Cokely are working hard, preparing for
the crowd. On that day the club will be
the guests of the above mentioned. As
usual, after this outing, there will be a
lot of fish stories. From what I am told,
fishing is good this year at Falls, Pa.

Heard after the last outing on July 12:

Why did Chas. C. Boyle leave his hat?

What was wrong with Frank Besancon
team ?

A lot of male members missed Charlie
Rovatsos, who was in Atlantic City. Won-
der why? Ask Dad, he knows.

General Notes

Miss Etta Yager, our efficient as-
sistant secretary of the club, and employed
by G. R. Clark, spent her vacation at
Lake Ariel.

Miss Margaret Lynch of Vanston .&
Moran spent a week at Moose Lake.

G. R. Clark and family are spending
the Summer at Lake Shehawken, in
Wayne County.

John Brown and Joseph Creddon are
enjoying their vacation touring in Maine.

Andrew R. Muir is busy preparing with
the committee to entertain the Pennsyl-
vania State Convention of Elks, which
will be held in Scranton, Aug. 21 to 24.
Mr. Muir is treasurer of the local lodge
of Elks.

Trade Notes

During these quiet days of Summer
it is refreshing to meet with such re-
marks as "Business very good," "Business
extra brisk/' and so on. Such has been
the general trend of reports from all
sources this past week. This may be
due to the holding in the city of several
conventions and also to the fact that
a large number of Shriners have visited
the city, en route to and from San Fran-
cisco. There has also been an extra
amount of funeral work.

The wholesale business is very good; in
some cases stock is short. Shipping to
outside cities has been very brisk; ferns
and greenery are in surprising demand.

Roses still holding up with prices steady;
Sweet Peas of extra quality still coming
in; excellent Snaps in soft art shades,
outside grown, from a local grower, are
a feature. Mr. Hammond, Sr., Calgary,
Canada, who is studying local conditions,
says the outlook for the florists' trade, es-
pecially the growers, has great possi-
bilities in this city and vicinity. Many
novelties suitable for cut blooms, not gen-
erally handled by the trade can be suc-
cessfully produced here owing to mild
climatic conditions. He has such faith in
the future of the wholesale end of the
trade, that he is prepared to back it fi-
nancially by taking an active interest in
it.

Vera Jackson of McCoy's is explor-
ing the valleys of the Olympics.

At Rosaia Bros, fine double rose Godetia
yellow and purple Sweet Sultan, and oth-
er annuals are grown a feature.

Doc. Harvey Simpson (from Hoyte
Bros., Spokane) is joining the growing
staff at the Thomas Greenhouses of this
firm for his Summer vacation.

Woodlawn Flower Shop, in a competi-
tion arranged by a contemporary trade pa-
per, among florists throughout the coun-
try for the best window for Mother's Day,
has been awarded second place.

Vacations are now in fashion, Dave
Jones returned from his Monday; he re-
ports fine fishing trips and says he is in
fine shape to tackle the many details in
connection with the coming annual picnic
of the local florists' association.

Eddie O'Neil, Gus Peterson and Eddie
Collins of the Woodlawn staff are taking
their vacation together and have planned
a three weeks' outing on the beautiful
Hoods Canal.

Bill Desmond of Kenney's Home of
Flowers says he has been so busy he
couldn't indulge in his weekly bowling
practice.

A Heavy Funeral Job

Hollywood Gardens Store had most
of the work for the Stuart funeral and
had to call in extra help, which included
Will Desmond, Fred Winters and Gus
Bjorgsen to finish several elaborate pieces
in time. An innovation was an elaborate
background against which the casket was
arranged during the service. A solid
foundation of Smilax and Adiantum was
arranged on a lattice; this was massed
with white, lavender and purple Sweet
Peas. The casket cover itself was carried
out entirely in lavender Sweet Peas and
Adiantum with a center cluster of Colum-
bia Roses. Another striking piece was

a large silver basket, 3ft. 6in. x 4ft., con-
taining pale yellow Gladioli and Colum-
bia Roses with magnificent sprays of Cat-
tleyas and Valley on the handle. A special
piece ordered by the Chicago office of
the Carnation Milk Co., of which the late
Mr. Stuart was a director, consisted of a
solid panel 6ft.x3ft. made up of Maiden-
hair fern, on which rested a large red
Carnation, made up of 150 separate blooms
with stem in proportion (being the trade
mark of the company). At the bottom of
the panel, the word "Chicago" also in
red Carnations. Numerous other designs
were also supplied.

Sam Duiilap is at his fishing lodge
at Lake Samamish enjoying a vacation;
he sends a pressing invitation to the edi-
tor or "Woolgatherer" to join him. He
promises them first rate sport. Personally
I advise them to take him up on this.
[Woolgatherer is trying to get in touch
with the "Magic Carpet" for quick trans-
portation.— Ed.]

Doctor and Mrs. Walter Moore of
Hollywood, accompanied by Miss Wharton
of the decorative staff and Miss Rodd,
bookkeeper, motored to Vancouver, B. C,
fori the Fourth; they had a wonderful
time.

A. J. Wallmark, the City Floral Shop,
Everett, was in the city Monday; he says
business is very good.

C. W. Rayner, Vancouver, B. C, was a
caller on the trade last week, en route
to Portland, Ore., for the Nurserymen's
Convention.

Miss Wheeler of the Maplewood Gar-
dens, Port Orchard, Wash., was a trade
visitor on Saturday last.

Geo. Cooper.

Lancaster, Pa.

July 22. — Retail trade continues fairly
good, and that it brings a little profit is
shown by the fact that Walter Hammond
starts for the seashore with his family
on a two weeks' vacation.

Growers are all busy working for next
Winter's returns, Robert Smallwood has
finished planting what might be termed
ideal Carnation plants, and can look for-
ward to next Winter without any worries
unless it might be the coal difficulties
looming up before us.

It seems that as soon as the grower
begins to see daylight and a little profit
ahead there is sure something of this sort
to turn up. I well remember that it cost
me something over $3000 more to run my
place than I could get out of it, the last
time we had coal apportionment in my
endeavor to comply with the requirements
of the law.

What is ahead of us we do not know,
but we managed to pull through the world
war and suppose we will still be in ex-
istence after the end of this capital and
labor war, but none the less we are the
goats. Albert M. Herr.

Scranton, Pa.

Members of the Scranton Florists Club
have already held their second Summer
outing. This took place on the Belin Es-
tate at Waverly, where John Hill, head
gardener, acted as guide for the many
parties who visited it. The next outing
is scheduled for Aug. 9 at Wm. McDonald's
and Thos. McClintock's college at Falls,
Pa.

The florists of Scranton are preparing
for their Fall show and the schedule has
already been issued. The show will take
place at the Scranton Armory, Nov. 7 to
10: schedules may be obtained on appli-
cation to the Secretary, G. R. Clark,
Scranton, Pa.

Local wholesalers declare that the Sum-
mer dullness has set in in earnest. Busi-
ness is very draggy and retailers can get
practically anything they want at their
own prices. Roses are inferior in qual-
it on account of the heat. Gladioli are
still very plentiful. Quite a few outdoor
varieties of flowers are being offered, but
these do not find any sale. The retailers
are purchasing only just what they need
and as they need it; they are not stocking
up because of the losses entailed. Some
Asters are coming in but they are not of
very good quality and do not sell.

News Notes

Walter Hawley of Glide Bros. Co.,
with his family is spending his vacation
at Ocean View, Va. Miss Nina Penn is
at Cumberland, Md., and Ben Carrick and
Robert Baggott are also on their vaca-
tions.

Gude Bros. Co. this week planted their
Carnations. In all they will have put in
about 50,000. In the lot will be included
such varieties as Lassie, Laddie, Democ-
racy, Red Matchless and Redhead of the
newer varieties, and Ward, Enchantress
Supreme, Washington and Jones of the old
standbys.

Among the visitors to Washington this
week were E. S. Gorney and S. Alland
of Boston; Will Render of Wilmington,
N. G, and E. M. Thorsen, representing
H. Bayersdorfer and Co., of Philadel-
phia.

Florist's Son's Heroism

J. Dan Blackistone, Washington
florist, is receiving the congratulations
of his friends upon the heroism of his 13
year old son, Shaw, who last week res-
cued his younger brother, Frank, 12 years
old, and a playmate ten years of age from
drowning.

Washington has recently had a number
of heavy storms which have swollen the
streams at the local parks, and the young-
sters were taking advantage of the op-
portunity to go wading when Kenneth Val-
entine, wrho was with the two brothers,
either fell or was pushed into the rush-
ing waters of Rock creek. The boy was
unable to make any headway against the
heavy flow of water and Prank Blackistone
.went to his rescue. He also found him-
self unable to cope with the strength of
the stream and had it not been for Shaw
Blackistone both the boys undoubtedly
must have drowned.

After a hard fight Shaw was successful
in bringing his brother and companion
to shore when an ambulance rushed them
to Walter Reed Hospital. It was neces-
sary to use a pulmotor upon Frank in
order to revive him.

In keeping with their policy of service
to customers, Gude Bros. Co. has inaugu-
rated a unique plan for handling flow-
ers for delivery to hospitals or steamers.

All such flowers are sent in a suitable
metal container which can be used as a

cording to the requirements of the order;
are japanned in different colors; and bear
the name and address of the firm and
the trade slogan, "Say it with Flowers."
The idea is very popular, being heartily
welcomed as in many cased vases or other
suitable containers are not readily avail-
able.

Montreal, Que.

Trade Notes

July, one of the quietest months of
the year for the florists, has been much
better than previous years. Abundance
of stock, especially Roses and Sweet Peas;
the florists can stock up without expend-
ing much money. Gladioli and Asters have
made their appearance, but Carnations
are practically over for a time.

Both employer and employee are taking
a well earned rest in turns. The call is
from city to seashore, lakeshore and the
woods; each gets its quota of visitors.

Florists' Outing

The Montreal gardeners and flo-
rists had their annual outing on Thurs-
day, July 20. Otterburn Park was the
place where a goodly number of tillers of
mother earth, with their wives or sweet-
hearts, not forgetting the youthful garden-
ers of the party who think this day is
especially arranged for their enjoyment;
they all had a good time. Sports of all
kinds were the order of the day. The
florists and friends of the youngsters
gave of their abundance to the prize
funds. A feature of the day was a race
for the veterans, those who have grown
old in the trade. They claim to feel
younger each year. The program is now
available for the convention; a good time
is in store for visitors to Montreal during
convention week, Aug. 11, 12, 13 and 14.
They are assured a royal welcome.

Phon.8. WotW" I!!? Agent, for Cohen & HWer. Inc. , Rilhons. Chiffons, and Novekie,

having been abroad for this purpose an-
nually for more than a score of years,
he was able to purchase judiciously and
at the lowest obtainable prices. His re-
cent purchases, says Mr. Hanfling, and
the large stock of goods which his com-
pany already has on hand, will enable him
to safeguard his customers from the effects
of the present high prices now prevailing
in Germany. Louis Hanfling of this com-
pany, accompanied by Mrs. Hanfling, will
leave the city about Aug. 15 for Maine,
where they will remain until after Labor

Gladiolus Exhibition

The Horticultural Society of New
York, in cooperation with the New York
Botanical Garden, will hold a Gladiolus
Exhibition in the Museum Building,
Bronx Park, New York, on Saturday,
Aug. 19, and Sunday, Aug. 20. The exhi-
bition will be open each day from 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m. Schedules of premiums have
already been sent out or may be obtained
from Mrs. George V. Nash, secretary of
the exhibition committee, New York
Botanical Garden, Bronx Park, New York
City.

E. 0. Lee of the Dahl Floral Co., At-
lanta, Ga., was recently a caller at the
office of The Exchange. He has been
spending several -weeks in the city and
will be here for some time to come, as
he is taking a course in interior decora-
tion m the New York School of Fine and
Applied Arts.

Calling at the store of William Kessler
now on his vacation, at 113 West 28th st
we found spick and span not only the
salesroom but also the conservatory, pack-
ing room and ice boxes in the rear. The
ceiling of the salesroom has been painted
a dead white, and the side walls a pleasing
light green. The conservatory also has
been renovated and repainted and is hav-
ing a new glass roof installed; also the
ice boxes have been relined. Much credit
is due to the men of Mr. Kessler's store
force who had part in and took charge of
this work, since they have made the old
quarters look like new.

Morris Schoenholz, assistant manager of
the Henshaw Floral Co., 43 West ISth st
has been spending his two weeks' vacation
'" the greenhouses of the Springfield
Moral Co., at Springfield, N. J., getting
points on the growing end of the business

Robert Craig, Sr., of Philadelphia, and
Ms grandson, John Graff, were callers on
Ihursday of last week on Secretary John
l cnmg, at administration headquarters. On
iM'iday they were the guests of A. L
Miller, Jamaica, L. I., and with him at-
tended a baseball game between Chicago
and New lork firemen.

Albert W. Allen, son of J. K. Allen,
43 West 18th st., sailed on Saturday
July 15, on the S. S. Eveland, on a 12 day
excursion trip to St. Johns, Newfoundland
this steamer first touches Halifax on
the tol owing Monday morning, leaving
there the next morning and arriving at
bt. Johns on Thursday. It starts on the
return trip on Saturday and is due in
New York the following Thursday. We
are giving the itinerary in detail, thinking
some of our florists may be interested
and desire to take such a trip.

Chas. Dards, Madison ave. and 44th st
and his store manager, H. G. Perry, and
family, are passing their vacation at
North Scituate, Mass. Anthony Weiss,
who is in charge during Manager Perry's
absence, recently took two weeks of his
vacation, spending it in short trips; about
Aug. 1 he will take two weeks more, which
he intends to spend in his own auto on
a trip through the White Mountains and
the Lake Champlain region.

The Market

;„ rt^ «ny i 25-;~£s re»ar<Js conditions
m the Wholesale Cut Flower Market at
present— and in fact for the whole month
ot July— a prominent wholesaler long in
the business said this week. 'After a
good June, business fell away abruptly
and July business has been the worst
experienced in five years." The fact is
neither on Saturday of last week nor on
Monday of this week, on one of which
there is usually some call for cut flow-
ers, was there a ripple in the demand in
the market. Today, the 25th, conditions
have not improved. There are large ar-
rivals in the market of such flowers as
Zinnias, Marigolds, Gaillardias, Lark-'
spur, and other outdoor grown flowers
which are neither suitable for funeral
deTs n°r suitable for fillinS steamer or-

n^hf Sodera.te suPPly of American
Beauty Roses is moving out very slowly
at 10e. to 40c. each for special grade
blooms. There is about a normal supply
of other Roses, the top grades are bring-
ing $o to $6 per 100, although Key of
this grade is realizing $30 and Crusader
'^A:- *■ «i Srade blooms are fetching
50c. to $1 per 100. The majority of
Roses are arriving in a too open condi-
tion to be attractive to buyers.

Carnations are practically out of the
market; a few only of the 50c. and $1
per 100 class being seen,
i The a"™als of Cattleyas are not over-
large. The general run is meeting with
a none too brisk demand at 25e. to 75c

to$i 50* a f6W S'SaS ai'e realizinS $!-25
The supply and sales of Gardenias are
negligible at about 60c. to $3 per 100,
and Valley is moving out slowly at $1 to
»4, and in occasional small sales of the
choicest, $6 per 100. There is rather a
large supply of longifloruni Lilies and a
medium supply of rubrums. Both are
meeting with a sluggish demand, the
former at $o per 100 for the blooms
without stems, and $10 to $15 for the
long-stemmed flowers ; and the latter at
*b to $12 per 100.

The arrivals of miscellaneous flowers
are large. The leaders are Gladioli of
excellent quality, and Asters equally
good ; the former sell at $1 to $2 and
occasionally $3 and the latter at 50c. to

ui Pi? * There is the usual season-
able list of other outdoor grown miscel-
laneous flowers, to which may be added
such wild flowers as Tansy and Hard-

Sl' whlch are sold on the street.

The demand for greens either indoor
grown or hardy is at a low ebb.

Samuel Salzberg, who has charge of the
shipping department and is a member of
the firm of B. Jacobs Cut Flower Co., Inc.,
43 West 18th st., expects to leave this
city about Aug. 1, accompanied by Mrs.
Salzberg, on a long auto trip through the
Middle West and points North. During
this trip he expects to visit many cities,
including Scranton, Pa.; Binghamton, El-
mira, Johnstown, Westfield and Buffalo,
N. Y. Traveling north, after visiting
these cities, he will go through Canada,
and returning will cover some cities
farther west. Mr. Salzberg says the com-
pany's past season's shipping business has
been large, and that next season's business
promises to be still heavier.

B. Hammond Tracy of Wenham, Mass.,
was a recent caller on Secretary John
Young at administration headquarters.
^ Frank H. Traendly of Traendly &
Schenck, 436 Sixth ave., accompanied by

Miss Lilian Cooper, bookkeeper for J.
K. Allen, returned from a two weeks' va-
cation at Ellenville, Ulster County, N. Y.,
and is now boasting of a six pound gain
in weight. The mountain air must have
agreed with her.

We were favored this week with a visit
from C. Imbrie Kent, Cleveland repre-
sentative of The Florists Exchange.
Mr. Kent reports that after a somewhat
protracted dull spell business in that city
is beginning to pick up, and he anticipates
a good Fall business.

Annual Outing

The annual outing and games of the

Point, Conn., on Thursday, Aug. 10. Games
commence at 11 a.m.; dinner at 2 p.m.,
prompt; tickets are $3.25 each.

In order that arrangements can be made
with the hotel, tickets must be secured
from W. J. Sealey, Port Chester, not lat-
er than Aug. 5.

The September show arrangements are
nearing completion and there is no doubt
it will far surpass the best we have ever
had. The garden clubs of Greenwich,
Rye, Portchester and Riverside will ex-
hibit in 50 classes set aside for them. We
are also receiving support from the Gar-
den Club of America. Advertising space
in the official program is being rapidly
taken up; if you desire information re-

Wheeling, W. Va. — B. F. Miller, a
prominent local florist, is having six new
greenhouses erected, which he says will
be the most modern in the Ohio Valley.
The new houses are to measure 30ft.x
132ft., and will be put up on a two acre
plot of ground, located at the corner of
First st. and Tomlinson ave. The old
greenhouses are being torn down and will
be used for hotbed purposes. W. N. B.

The Market

July 25. — Business the past week
varied but little from the week previous ;
the only difference was that there was
vastly more stock. Roses which were
supposed to have assumed the lowest
point of production for the season came
in by the hundreds of thousands ; this
with a full market of Gladioli and As-
ters, gave the wholesalers all they could
do to keep stock moving, at almost any
price it might bring. Roses were sold
at prices so low it would be almost crim-
inal to quote. When department stores
were selling them at ten cents per orig-
inal bunch of twenty-five, the wholesal-
ers for the time being were no longer
accused of that monetary madness so of-
ten imputed to then on other occasions.
It would have been a good week for the
investigators of high prices to be on the
market ; they would have found the Rose
growers' avocation was not a literal bed
of Roses ; that .while many of the varie-
ties have a silvery or golden hue, they
<;annot always be cashed at par on the
wholesale market. The Summer crops of
Roses are larger than was anticipated
and to a notable degree interfere with
the sale of other flowers.

Gladioli are in large supply and the
variety is of wide range ; some really fine
spikes are to be seen, but there are some
not so good which, as a consequence,
give wide range in price from $1 to $S
per 100. Myrtle, Maiden's Blush, Dor-
othy McKibbon, Chicago White and Sun-
beam, are favorites not forgetting Pen-
dleton, always a good seller. Gov. Hanly
is a favorite red. The present supply, al-
though heavy, is destined to become more
so during the next few weeks. There is
far more Gladioli grown this year for
cut flowers than ever before. Seedsmen
attest to this fact by the large sale of
bulbs all over the country. The whole-
salers are warned not to depend so much
as in the past on the shipping trade for
these flower statistics show they have
been planted extensively all over the
country and many sections will have its
own supply.

While there is a large supply of stock,
it is kept moving ; the market is not by
any means at a standstill. It is better
than it was a year ago, and from all in-
dications there is no let up in sight.
There is an alarm throughout the city
brought about by the impending railroad
and street car strikes that would of
course affect the trade, especially ship-
ping. This, however, will be met with
equanimity by the florists as their busi-
ness will not suffer more thereby than
any of the other lines of trade.

The Aster crops are coming in more
freely ; so far not many really good ones
are seen. There are a good many Lilies ;
besides giganteum there are plenty of
rubrums as well as some auratums is
lesser numbers. Shasta Daisies are a fea-
ture and Gypsophila is seen at all the
stores. Delphiniums, so plentiful on the
market a short time ago, are not seen so
much. There are a good many wild flow-
ers including Water Lilies, Cattails and
Rushes of many varieties. The new crop
ferns are coming in and, from a point of
green goods, as well as the flowers, there
is a superabundance.

Gary, as is well known, is an important
manufacturing center in the steel indus-

It is noticed that an ever increasing de-
mand for cut flowers and plants is com-
ing from these working people.

Andrew Wilson, Inc., Springfield, N. J.

Gentlemen: — Your O. K. Plant Spray, as its name implies, is
super-excellent. It is more than you claim for it. Outdoors we have
cleaned our conifers of red spider. Rose garden is free and no dreaded
rose beetle to dismay our efforts. Indoors I was at first skeptical with
its application upon orchids. Previously I never sprayed them without
loss of fleshy roots, no matter how light the application, but your
spray has cleared all doubt as to its safety on rare orchids.

Carnations and 'Mums are kept free of pests and fungus disease.
Its twofold use is wonderful. Roses, our situation favors black spot,
and every fungus disease a rose is heir to, but we spray the soil of the
benches every week with a 25% solution and are free.

It is, in short, an allied army of protection and care of all plants in
horticulture's realm. I heartily recommend it.

Yours very truly, W. R. FOWKES,

Supt. Howard'Cole Estate.

Compliment to a Chicago Florist

A very fat man was stopped at the corner of
Wabash, ave. and Randolph st. by a colored
woman who had a few wire frames in her hand.
"Where can I get a Cottage Grove avenue car ?"
she inquired.

"Right here, Madame," said the very fat
man in his best "service-to-the-public" manner.

"Thanks," she said, "but I spent all my
money. Would you lend me car fare home ?"
Then, scrutinizing the fat man more closely,
concluded, "Oh, 'scuse me, boss; I sho thought
dat you wus a 'holesale florist."

York, Pa.. — H. S. Brandt, florist, was
pleasantly surprised on Monday evening,
July 17, by a number of his friends who
gathered at his home, 121 North Beaver
st., and tendered him a Watermelon par-
ty in celebration of his birthday anni-
versary. Mr. Brandt "was presented with
mahogany book ends and a leather wallet
by his friends.

Market Conditions

St. Swithin's Day was fair this
year, and no rain for over a week follow-
ing that day. Skies have been clear and
temperatures rather high — not ideal con-
ditions for flower selling. The quantity
of flowers arriving is really not very
great, and if Gladioli were eliminated it
would seem surprisingly small. There is
a fair demand from retailers, and while
prices were somewhat lower last week,
and remain so on July 24, there is no
cause for complaint, as no one anticipates
heavy business at this season.

Roses have been somewhat overdone the
past few days and values have declined.
Some short stemmed flowers have sold at
$1 per 100 and even lower, and it requires
quite a fancy grade to reach $8. The bulk
of flowers now coming in move at between
$1 and $4 per 100. Columbia remains
easily the leader with Butterfly _ a
good second. There are some nice
Wards, Crusaders, Pilgrims and Hadleys.
There are but few Carnations, and it
would be good policy to keep them off the
market for a time, as they have a faded
look, and others which are increasing in

numbers are very much better for design
work.

Gladioli loom up everywhere. There are
more growers of them than ever this sea-
son, and the copious rains have been very
much to their liking. Quality is splendid
but prices are ruinously low. It does not
pay to cut, pack up and express a load of
fine spikes to wholesale at the rate of
five or sis dozen for $1. Some sell better
than this and may reach $6 per 100, but
the majority don't reach over half this
figure. There are a few Sweet Peas, not
enough for the market's needs, however.

There is a fair supply of longiflorum
Lilies and some auratums, but no specio-
sums. Regales are over for the season.
Gypsophila continues in good supply; the
double form of pauiculata sells on sight.
Quite a little variety of outdoor flowers
is noted, such as Cosmos, Dahlias, Gail-
lardias, Sweet Sultan, Cornflowers, Rho-
danthes, Didiscus coerulea, Helichrysiuns,
Statice, Coreopsis, Candytuft, Acroelini-
ums, etc.

Lily of the Valley is little asked for,
as weddings are now almost nil. There
are some Gaskelliana and Gigas Cattleyas,
but their number is rapidly dwindling.
A few Gardenias are offered also. There
has been a fair market for Asparagus,
Adiantum and hardy ferns. Pot plant
trade is inactive, with very few flowering
plants offered.

Gardeners and Florists Club Picnic

Most delightful weather favored
this very popular annual event, which
passed off most successfully on July 20,
at Cunningham Park, East Milton, with
an attendance of over 500. The grounds
there are very beautiful and easy of access
for steam cars, electrics and autos. There
are two baseball diamonds, tennis courts,
a superb swimming pool, large gymnasium
and swings galore for the little folks, all
in perfect condition. The sun fortunately
remained obscured all day, and a maxi-
mum temperature of 75 deg. made condi-
tions as nearly perfect as possible. Base-
ball games started at 10.30 a.m., and the
swimming contest did not end until 6.30
p.m. No accident happened to mar the
day's enjoyment.

The picnic officials were: Ringmaster,
W. J. Kennedy; handicapper, James
Mathison; starter, Peter M. Miller; clerk,
Wm. N. Craig; umpires for men's and
ladies' baseball games, Geo. Hummer and
Fred Esty; umpire for boys' baseball
game, Peter Pederzein; judges, Arthur J.
Braun, H. H. Bartsch, Geo. W. Butter-
worth, Harry Cole, Kenneth Finlayson,
Daniel Hiffe, W. J. Judd, T. W. Little,
Fred E. Palmer, John Morris, W. C. Rast,
Donald Sutherland, Daniel Whyte and A.
J. Wollrath. The general picnic commit-
tee consisted of Messrs. Judd, Butter-
worth, P. W. Burke, W. H. Jolly, A. N.
Rogers, H. A. Ryan and J. L. Russell.

This was the first year for a swimming
contest, and its popularity will no doubt
cause extra classes to be provided another
year. The private gardeners had a little
too much beef in the tug o' war and beat
the commercials handily, but these had
sweet revenge in the baseball game which
they won comfortably. The ladies' blind-
fold wheelbarrow contest brought out no
less than 20 entries, and a baseball game

of the sports as follows:

A special prize went to Peter Pederzein
of Medford for his having decorated a
large auto which carried 25 passengers.
W. J. Kennedy called the attention of all

You don't have to
take our word —

FRANKLY, there are two other ways
to convince yourself about the re-
markable new glazing cement McCal-
lum's are now introducing to American
greenhouse owners and managers—
PITTTIUM. First, ask any one who has
tried it; second, try it yourself and
you'll be its most loyal supporter. Re-
member this, we couldn't afford to mar-
ket it if we weren't certain it would
make good.

in Black or Gray

is free from tar. The base of Black
Puttium is pure Mexican Asphalt com-
bined with just the proper proportion
of Gilsonite and high-quality Canadian
Asbestos Fibre, while the popular gray
Puttium contains the correct amount of
Asbestos Fibre and specially treated
oils and gums. High-grade materials,
scientific mixing and an organization
that "knows how" and has served the
trade for years — that's the combination
behind Puttium. You can't go wrong' I

Yes — it's making almost as great a

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT

Where You Place Your Orders

Our equipment, our facilities for doing business under
ideal working conditions are bound to bring results that
cannot be obtained under less favorable conditions. It is
an up-to-date equipment that produces results in so far as
the filling of your order is concerned.

For this week we recommend to you ASTERS. The
supply is much larger now. We can furnish you any
quantity of them. Good stock as low as $15.00 per thou-
sand. Most of our Asters are of the best quality.

Next in order are GLADIOLI. Some of the best cut
flower varieties are coming in.

EASTER LILIES we have in quantity every day.

In ROSES, Russell, Columbia and Double White Killarney
show the best quality.

When you want the best that is on the market at the
right price, send your order in our direction.

The Market

"It's never been so bad as this be-
fore." Is that merely a cry from habit,
or is this year particularly bad? That
was the question we set out to answer
last week and we have come to the con-
clusion that it really is a bad year. Par-
ticularly is the situation affected by

M. J. GANNON

Wholesale Florist

2 South Mole St., Philadelphia, Pa.

Consignments solicited

Gladioli; more farmers seem to be grow-
ing this flower on the side than ever. And
why not? They have the bulbs — more
every year. It's just a case of putting
them in the ground.

The market may be said to be glutted
in everything except possibly Cattleyas
and good Roses. Gladioli of good qual-
ity bring as top, 4c; lc. is not a solid bot-
tom. America leads in quantity, perhaps;
the later varieties include Francis King
and Peace.

Roses hold second place, with Russell,
Columbia, Pilgrim and double White Kil-
larney leading. Russell brings 3c. to 12c;
Columbia 2c. to 6c, and Killarney, 3c. to
8c Short Roses are very poor and de-
mand is light. One wholesaler went so
far as to say that if growers didn't ship
shorts at all the loss would be more than
made up by the consequent better prices
for good stock.

Asters range from lc. to 4c, and show
good quality in colors; the market is
flooded with them far beyond the possible
demand at this time of year. An optimist
might say that low prices were pushing
flowers into the hands of people who never
used them before and that therefore the
whole thing is good advertising. So it is,
albeit of an expensive kind. Another
bright thought is that the season being
about a fortnight advanced, Gladioli may
stop coming in two weeks earlier than
usual.

Asters

are much improved both as to quan-
tity and quality — plenty of medium and
short white for funeral work, with a
good selection of longer white, also pur-
ple and pink, all of choice quality.

With these and Gladioli, they are
two splendid Summer flowers that we
are unusually strong on.

Both Phones

A Plea for Protection

Last week a wholesaler received the
following letter from one of his growers:

"It seems to me that the florists— the
legitimate ones — should have some pro-
tection from the farmer, poultryman, car-
penter, etc., who raises flowers only as a
sideline to increase their earnings. The
flowers thus shipped in by them not only
glut the market, but discourage the flo-
rist who depends on the growing end of
the business.

"I had intended — as soon as 1 had a
good start— to give up the retail end of
the business and grow for the market en-
tirely; but since every Tom, Dick and
Harry's flowers are shipped into the com-
mission houses and accepted and no pro-
tection given us, I find it very discourag-
ing. , ,

"It is high time that the growers and
commission men get together and do,
something; for to 'Say it with Flowers
should mean flowers raised by florists and
not by other tradesmen."

Various Notes

Hugh Niessen said the other day:
"We just got an order for 4,000 Asters.
That's like a drop in the bucket." Busi-
ness here is, as elsewhere, more or less
subject to the general depression.

C. U. Liggit reports good sales for
Chrysanthemums— in fact, he is almost
cleaned up. Carnations, Roses, ferns and
Primulas are selling well.

H. Bayersdorfer was on an automobile
trip in New England last week.

Macaw Bros, at Norwood are sold out
on Pandanus and 4in. ferns. Spring busi-
ness here was excellent.

The Robert Craig Co. has its houses in
fine shape just now. Business is brisk.
A five ton order went out the day we
called. The new Drac-ena, Tricolor, is
coming along nicely, but will not be in
full color for a few weeks yet. We
recommend visitors during September and
later to take a look at this latest crea-
tion.

Edward Reid had some nice Butterfly
and Kaiserin July 24.

George Aeugle made his first visit to the
office July 24 and stayed down about an
hour. He was accompanied by George,
Jr.

Berger Bros, had some fine outdoor
Larkspur and giant Centaurea last week.

The first Buddleia we have seen was
at the Philadelphia Growers Cut Flower
Co. last week.

Baseball

July 23 at Belmont saw a fine turn-
out of fans. The I. F. C. played one of
the best games of the season against
Dreer, winning 6 to 5 with the decisive
run in the last inning. A well fought
game and good sportsmanship on both
sides. Hugh Opitz is developing a
"mean" ball.

Niessen defeated Pennock the same day
20 to 14 and much excitement was mani-
fested. A feature of the game was the
playing of young Jimmy Heron for Pen-
nock at second base.

The first accident of the season occur-
red July 20, when Craig's team was mo-
toring to meet the Independents. The
tail board of the truck gave way under
the weight of several players and a nasty
spill resulted. The injured were Joe Mat-
thews, Joe Kennedy, Jr., and Albert Men-
ozzer. No one was seriously hurt, but two
games have already been postponed while
the cuts and bruises were healing.

July 20— Bickmore 16, Pennock 3; Nies-
sen 12, Retailers 13; Dreer 10, Bayers-
dorfer 7; Craig vs. I. F. C, (postponed).

July 23— Niessen 20, Pennock 14; I.
F. C. 6, Dreer 5; Retailers 11, Bickley o;
Craig vs. Bayersdorfer (postponed).

The only game officially disputed, ac-
cording to Manager Davis, is the Retail-
ers vs. I. F. C, game of July 17. Those
who have protests to make had better
get them in. It is understood that a meet-
ing is to be held in the near future to
discuss them.

Retail Trade

Pennock Bros, report a fair busi-
ness in spite of the season. An attrac-
tive window gives a hint of actual in-
terior decoration to the man in the street.

T. Nielsen Geiger was busy on a wed-
ding order when we called. This firm
turned out 20 pieces July 23 and report
an exceptional business.

M. C. Dun, 61S Chestnut St., manages to
keep busy. The Summer season doesn't
affect him, he says, quite as much as
others.

Chippewa Falls, Wis.— Fire of mys-
terious origin, causing damages estimated
at S5000 to the Ward Greenhouses in
Chippewa Falls, Wis., occurred on July
14. The boiler room and offices were
completely destroyed. Incendiarism is
suspected.

A Great Covent Garden Grower

The Horticultural Trade Journal, giv-
ing a brief history of the firm of Philip
Ladds of Swanley, England, mentions that
the glass area there is ten acres, while at
Meopham and Bexley Heath nearby the
firm has 13 acres more of glass. The
whole of the 23 acres is devoted to plant
stock for Covent Garden and shipping
trade. Beyond Chrysanthemums, which
are a great specialty, the firm does not
grow many cut flowers. The houses not
required during the Summer are devoted
to Tomatoes. Bulbs are largely forced in
the early Spring, but the main line is
pot plants. Ericas, ferns, Geraniums,
Genistas, palms, etc., are grown in tre-
mendous quantities.

In the busy bedding season, two huge
motor trucks make four or five trips a
day to London, each truck having a ca-
pacity for 800 trays (one dozen) of small
ferns or 320 dozen 60's (2%in. or 3in.).
Frank Ladds, the proprietor, has greatly
developed the business in the past 15
years or so. He is only 42 years of age.

CHICAGO • GREENHOUSE • CONSTRUCTION • COMPANIES

The success of the Great Chicago Wholesale Cut Flower Market and the large increase in capital invested is due to the superior class of greenhouses which have been
built. This has been accomplished by the fact Chicago boasts of a large number of greenhouse construction companies with facilities for the work equal to that in any other
city. The following comprises the leading Chicago Greenhouse Architects, Heating Engineers, Ventilation Experts, Lumber Dealers, and Greenhouse Builders' Supplies.

How P. H. Ryan of Saranac Lake
Mountain Climbs with Flowers

It just happened that I happened
to bump into Ryan's. Only an-
other case of going for one thing
and finding a bigger thing than
you went for.

We^were bowling along at about
thirty-five, in our Hump, headed
for Tupper Lake. Of a sudden,
in a bend of the road, loomed up
a perfectly good-looking green-
house which had all the ear-
marks of being an L. & B. iron
framer. Of course, the brakes
went down with a jam and a
squeaking protest, and in a jiffy
we were inside looking the house
over. And then into the attrac-
tive flower shop across the street
with its show house attachment,
which also turned out to be the
L. & B. brand.

A cheery voice called a greeting
to which she soon added a smil-
ing welcome and cordial hand-

You can't miss it. Nor can you withstand its attractive-
ness. You climb the steps and buy, gladly add your
bit to their climbing business

shake. "Sorry the boys are
away," she said, "but I can tell
you that we sure are proud of
our L. & B. houses. Ever since
we have had them, our business
sure has been climbing. You
know there was a time when we
used to think that up here in the
mountains, where winters are
so long and severe, that it was
cheaper to buy our roses. But
that big L. & B. house certainly
has been a mountain climber for
us."

To which allow me to add that
in spite of the fact that more
florist shops are growing their
own flowers; still they seem to
keep right on buying as much
as they ever bought. How do
you explain it ?

When you are ready to talk
building, say when and where
and we'll be there.

As we have said before, seeing is believing. Call show
houses "silent salesmen" if you please, but they sure do
a lot of talking out loud when it comes to increased profits

Burpee's New
SWEET PEA

MRvS. KERR

^

A Spray of Mrs. Kerr, reproduced from a Fordhook photograph

"The Best Early-Flowering
Salmon"

MRS. KERR created a sensation when exhibited at the
Great International Flower Shows in New York, March,
1920, and again in March, 1921. This magnificent novelty
has been hailed by experts as being the greatest advance in
this type, its introduction being eagerly awaited by Sweet
Pea growers.

MRS. KERR has all the desirable qualities which go to
make up a perfect flower. In addition to its unique and
dainty color the plant is of most vigorous habit and extremely
flonferous. The flowers, of immense size and equisite shape,
are a most pleasing shade of rich salmon overlaid or suffused
with orange. Under glass the color is intensified and inde-
scribably beautiful; in artificial light it is simply magnificent.
The great flowers are of substantial texture, thus adding
to their unusual lasting qualities after being cut.

MRS. KERR produces flowers which are bold in the ex-
treme; the standard is broad, deep, and charmingly waved;
the wings are well placed as are also the three or, more often,
four flowers on their long, stiff stems.

It is impossible to fully describe the great beauty of this
lovely flower, which we feel convinced will become one of
the most popular of the Early Flowering type. All florists
must have it to be "up-to-date." Awarded Certificate of
Merit at the International Flower Show, New York, March,
1920.

Trade pkt. 50 cts.; oz. $2.00;
}4 lb. $6.00; lb. $18.00

Our other outstanding novelties for this
year and last year are:

BURPEE'S ORANGE. A glistening orange Sweet Pea
without any trace of pink or orange-pink in either stand-
ard or wings. It is a true, glistening orange self, prac-
tically the shade of a bright ripe orange. Of immense size
and well waved. Trade pkt. $1.00; oz. $5.00; M lb. $15.00;
lb. $50.00, postpaid.

CHEERFUL. The large well waved flowers are a rich and
"cheerful" shade of Begonia-rose, free from any other
tints. A strong grower and verv free bloomer. Trade pkt.
$1.00; oz. $5.00; M lb. $15.00; lb. $50.00, postpaid.

MRS. WARREN G. HARDING, "The Harding Blue."
The flowers are immense in size with broad and much
frilled standards. The color is a pure silver-blue. Trade
pkt. 50 cts.; oz. $2.50; \i lb. $7.50; lb. $25.00, post-
paid.

THIRTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL CONVENTION

August 15, 16, 17, 1922 : Convention Hall, Kansas City, Mo.

Portraits of Officers, Directors,
and Directors under Affiliation

SAMUEL MURRAY, Vice-President

What the Official Program Tells Us

While this program goes to every member and is
complete in itself, there will be no harm done in
directing our readers' attention to its contents. The
program is in itself, we believe, the most comprehen-
sive ever issued, and its bulk indicates the growing
importance and thoroughness of the work now being
conducted by the National Society.

Reduced Rates — Certificate Plan

A notice of reduced Certificate Plan rates (second
cover page) should be carefully read for the reason
that return tickets at the half fare cannot be obtained
unless the directions therein are fully complied with.
It will be noted that one certificate will suffice for
each member including dependents of said member's
family who may b.e accompanying him or her. Also

that this reduction has no value unless one goes and
returns via the same route. Don't present yourself
at the ticket office at the last minute — allow half an
hour — as it takes time to issue this particular form
of ticket.

Railroad Rates and Time Limits

Covered on pages 3 to 5. It is encouraging that
rates from the Far West and Northwest are available
at specially low figures. This should materially in-
crease attendance from those points.

A Startling Index to Society's Activities

The list of officers, committees, etc., of the Society,
covering five complete pages (6 to 10), furnishes a
startling index as to the Society's activities, every
name listed representing an active worker for the
advancement of the Society.

THOMAS ROLAND, Ex-Officio

SAMUEL s. PENNOCK, President

The program for the meetings (pp. 13 to 20) has
been arranged only after long and exhaustive ses-
sions of the Executive Committee, and assures us a
must interesting three days. Few there are who real-
ize or even understand the lengthy deliberations which
take place during the Executive Committee's mid-
Lent meetings, held several months in advance of the
convention itself.

The Amendments

Every member of the Society should carefully
study these several amendments. They are all im-
portant and their consideration occupied much of the
Executive Committee's time at its mid-Lent meeting.
It will be noted that, in other directions, these amend-
ments seek to cover and make more secure the govern-
ment of the National Society as well as to extend its
scope and influence. To further this object Amend-
ment No. 4 provides that the Society shall be repre-
sented the entire year through by an executive com-
mittee which will have charge of the business of the
Society between the intervals of the meetings of the
Society and the board of directors. This, it will be
seen, provides active life for the Society during the
entire twelve months. There will be no hiatus as now.

The duties of the treasurer are made plain in
Amendment No. 7, and provision is made in case of
said officer's absence or disability.

Amendment No. 8 is a revival of the attempt made
at the Chicago convention (1012) to turn the office

JOHN YOUNG, Secretary

of the secretary into an appointive position instead
of as now, an elective office. One cannot disguise the
fact that this procedure is the correct one (even
though it was defeated at Chicago) for the very reason
that the members at large have no fair opportunity to
realize whether a secretary is efficient and actively
on the job or not. This knowledge is confined to tbe
board of directors and, bere again, only those of the
board of directors whose duties bring them into close
contact with the secretary all the year through are
enabled to obtain a fair idea as to his executive ca-
pacity, initiative and real value to the Society. So
the proposition in itself is sound. However, the So-
ciety now has a secretary in the person of John
Young, whose efficiency and untiring efforts on be-
half of the Society are well recognized and acknowl-
edged not only by the various presidents under whom
he has served, but as well by those officers of the

Society who have served longest and therefore are most
familiar with his work.

Consequently, in the event of the passage of Amendment
No. 8. it would seem both gracious and advantageous for
all concerned if the Society were also to express by motion
or resolution its appreciation of the secretary's work and
its hopes that he might be the Executive Committee's ap-
pointee.

From Amendment No. 10 it will be noted that we are to
have a Budget Committee. No better proviso for the finan-
cial welfare of the Society could be desired.

Amendment No. 11, intended to make continuous mem-
bership in the Society worth while, should be adopted
unanimously.

Making the Reserve Fund Secure

Amendment No. 12 is intended to prevent any and all
inconsiderate attempts, or for the matter of that, well con-
sidered attempts, to make immediate use of the great
amount of money now held in the Society's Reserve Fund.

Arrivals of French and Bermuda Bulbs

A shipment of Paperwhite Narcissus
arrived from France on the S. S. Provi-
dence on July 28, but the bulk of the crop
arrived on the S. S. Canada July 31. The
first shipment of Liliuni Harrisii arrived
from Bermuda on July 25, but the bulk
of the crop arrived on Julv 31.

A. E. Wheeler of W. E. Marshall & Co.,
166 W. 23d. St., and family, have gone to
Netcong, New Jersey, where they will
stay in their own bungalow during the
month of August. W. E. Marshall and
family are summering at their Bayville
(L. I.) bungalow. Thus both Mr. Mar-
shall and Mr. Wheeler are on the com-
muter's list. P. W. Popp. of the travel-
ing force of this firm, has just returned
from a trip through the middle-West.

Charles C. Littlefield, superintendent
of the Flower Seed Department of Peter
Henderson & Co., 35-37 Cortlandt st., is
now taking a vacation at Athens, N. Y.

Samuel Burnett of Burnett Bros., 92
Chambers st., is taking a week off at his
bungalow at Denville, N. J., where Wil-
liam and Robert Burnett also are sum-
mering but commuting daily to the city.

We observe in one of the windows of
Carter's Tested Seeds, Inc., 53 Barclay
St., a notable and comprehensive display
of golf requisites, to which this company-
pays great attention. This display in-
cludes lawn mowers, sod cutters, mole
traps, sod lifters, hole rims, hole runs,
racing irons, tee boxes, turf edges, poles,
discs, markers, flags, worm eradicators,
humus, fertilizers and grass seeds, etc.
This display is well arranged and is at-
tracting much attention.

Mrs. M. Aronowitz of the Barclay Nur-
sery, 62 Vesey st., is spending a well-
earned month's vacation at Fallsburg, Sul-
livan County, N. Y.

We note in one window of Stumpp &
Walter Co.'s commodious store on 30-32
Barclay st. the most comprehensive and
cleverly arranged display of insecticides
and high-grade fertilizers which we have
ever observed on display in this city, and,
in a companion window a large and inter-
esting display of lawn requisites and sea-
sonable sundries.

Vaughan's Seed Store reports the ar-
rival of the first shipment of Paperwhite
Narcissus on the S. S. Providence on
July 28, and of the second shipment on
the S. S. Canada on July 31. They are
no^y delivering the first lot of Lilium Har-
risii bulbs. These are exceptionally fine,
they report, being graded better than in
former years. They further report that
the pathologists of the Department of
Agriculture, Washington, pronounce the
Vaughan fields practically free from dis-
ease. Vaughan's is also in receipt of the
first shipment of prepared Hyacinths
which arrived from Holland on the S. S.
Westerdyk. They report that the first
shipment of Dutch bulbs is now on the
way, and that these are especially intended
for display at the coming S. A. F. and
O. H. Convention at Kansas City.

J. Murray Harris, office manager for
Vaughan's, exeets to attend the Canadian
Florists and Gardeners Association meet-
ing at Montreal, Canada, Aug. 8 to 11.
, The demand for Freesias at Vaughan's
is increasing daily. Counter trade is keep-
ing up reasonably well, and the mails are
bringing large orders for perennial flower
seeds and there is also a large demand for
Strawberry plants. James Stoddard of
the store force and John McNamara are
now on their annual vacations.

Charles Sharpe & Co., Ltd., of Sleaford,
England, announce that their representa-
tive, F. B. Dawson, will be in the United
States soon, and that all communications
for him may be addressed care of R. J.
Godwin's Sons, 15-25 Whitehall st., New
York City. .

8. _S. Skidelsky of S. S. Skidelsky & Co.,
53 Park place, is leaving this city for

the West to attend the S. A. F. and 0.
H. Convention, but will make a number
of stops on his way.

F. Rynveld & Sons report the second
arrival of French bulbs on the S. S. Prov-
idence. "At prevailing prices," says Mr.
Guille of this firm, "some of the whole-
sale growers have cut down their orders
from the quantities they originally in-
tended to use, while most of the smaller
users evidently feel that the costs are jus-
tified in view of the very short crop and
believe that the bulbs, can be grown at
a profit. We are receiving many inquiries
which lead us to believe that all of the
bulbs imported will find a ready market."

James McHutchison of McHutchison &
Co. had his Summer vacation interrupted
in a most unfortunate manner, when he
met with a serious accident, Monday morn-
ing, July 24, in Waverley, Mass. Mr.
McHutchison had been sojourning with
his family at his Summer home in Kenne-
bunk, Me. As often before, he motored
to Waverley to spend a few days with
his friend Frank Edgar, and the day after
his arrival, before breakfast, set out for
a spin in the automobile. Right outside
the entrance to Mr. Edgar's grounds, the
machine collided with another auto, and
Mr. McHutchison suffered a broken ankle
and other serious injuries. He was taken
to the Edgar residence and both legs set
in splints and plaster casts before his
removal to the McLean Hospital in
Waverley, where the patient is doing as
well as might be expected. Mrs. Mc-
Hutchison arrived from Kennebunk at
the earliest moment, -and is staying with
her husband most of the time, making
her home with Mr. Frank Edgar's family.
Fortunately there is reason to expect that
Mr. McHutchison will recover in full and
without lasting injuries, in a short while,
much to the satisfaction of his host of
friends.

Chicago Seed Trade

R. B. Howe of the W. W. Barnard Co.
report a good demand for Freesia bulbs
as well as perennial seeds. Mrs. Coven-
try, who was injured in an automobile ac-
cident last week, is gradually recovering.
The W. W. Barnard Co. are offering a
silver vase for the best 25 blooms of
Gladioli at the exhibition of the Ameri-
can Gladioli Society at Kalamazoo next
month.

An interesting exhibit of Gladioli bloom
is kept daily at the store of the Ameri-
can Bulb Co. coming fresh from their
farms each day. Gladioli buyers are
much interested in the new varieties on
exhibition and are placing orders for
same. H. P. Forshaw of Pendleton, Ore.,
was in the city the past week and was
shown the large greenhouse establish-
ments around the city by Guy French and
I. Rosnosky. At Morton Grove, Mr. For-
shaw took his first flight in an airplane.

C. 0. Wilcox, recently with the A. L.
Randall Co., and the Madson Seed Co. of
Manitowoc, Wis., is now connected with
S. M. Isbell & Co., Jackson, Mich.

Ed. Goldenstein of Vaughan's Seed
Store, who attended the meeting of the
Wisconsin State Florists Association,
said the death of Jas. E. Matthewson
east a gloom over the second day's pro-
ceedings. There was also another auto
accident to a party on their way to the
meeting in which Fred Hunkle of Mil-
waukee, Louis Turner of Kenosha, got
badly scarred up; fortunately nothing
very serious.

Recent rains have helped the Onion
set crops in the Chicago district. The har-
vesting will begin soon after Aug 1.

E. L. Johnson, La Grange, Ga., has
opened, a seed store on Ridley ave., and
will handle, in addition to seeds, a full
line of cut flowers, potted plants and
shrubbery in season.

Further Comments on the Bulb
Situation

It is just about as difficult to sum-
marize the 1922 bulb situation as it is
to express in a few words public senti-
ment with regard to Qu. 37. Reports both
from domestic handlers and foreign
sources of supply are not difficult to ob-
tain, but these in many cases are so con-
flicting as to be disconcerting if not defi-
nitely useless. It has been maintained,
on the one hand, that a few individual
speculators have been successful in their
deliberate attempts to force upward
French bulb prices, whereupon denials and
reaffirmations of these statements have
been promptly forthcoming, etc.

All in all, the most reliable deductions
seem to point to the following situation:
First, the 1922 bulb crop in both Holland
and France were exceedingly small — no
more than 50 per cent of normal in the
latter country it is believed. Here, to
start writh, is a reason for higher prices
than usual. Secondly, it would appear
that fearing shortages later in the season,
certain prospective buyers, both in this
country and abroad, started out quite early
to make frantic bids for whatever was of-
fered. Sensing this tendency, the French
growers, not unuaturally, began to hold
back with the result that the unorganized
would-be purchasers found themselves
confronted by increasing high figures,
though neither was the supply becoming
any smaller, nor the demand becoming
any greater than at first.

By this time it is reported that where-
as 14cm. Paperwhites are almost off the
market in France, the 13cm. size is being
held and in a few cases being bought at
between 325 fr. and 400 fr. per thousand,
with the average much closer to the latter
than the former figure. Twelve cm. bulbs
of this type range around 250 fr. per
thousand, while Soleil d'Or Narcissi are
averaging 800 f r. when purchased and have
actually gone to as high as 1000 fr, per
thousand in a few quotations.

In Holland, while corresponding excep-
tional figures have not been reached, prices
are said to be actually higher at present
than those for which some American
dealers have already secured stocks of
bulbs.

What will be the outcome? On one side
you will find the opinion that notwith-
standing the extreme prices, there will be
sufficient confirmations of orders already
placed to absorb all the bulbs that will be
available on this side. But simultane-
ously it is also possible you find those who
believe that unless prices collapse with
resulting serious loss to certain, large
holders, there will be in some hands be-
fore the season is over a surplus of some
foreign bulbs owTing to the inability, or
unwillingness of the American trade to
meet the prices demanded.

Kentucky News

Seedsman Murdered

Leon Renaker, 32 years of age, seeds-
man and produce dealer, Winchester, this
morning, July 26, was found murdered in
his bed, upon the return of Mrs. Renaker
from Cincinnati, her husband having come
home a day earlier, and having been
killed during the night. Mr. Renaker
was found with his skull crushed, having
been struck by a heavy and blunt instru-
ment. The investigation showed that a
considerable sum of money had been
taken from the body. The home is in the
most fashionable residential section of the
city.

The investigation has shown that Rena-
ker, after reaching his home town, from
a short visit at Cincinnati, paid a short
visit to his office before going to his home.
The robbery motive is the only one that
has been discovered so far.

Blue Grass Seed

"The Pool" of the Kentucky Co-opera-
tive^ Bluegrass Growers Association,
Louisville, has announced prices in car
lots, at 22c. for 21 pound seed and 20%c.
for the 19 pound seed, under a guarantee
to buyers that the pool will not sell any
seed at under these figures, the cleaners
having agreed to maintain them. It is
reported that the Missouri crop is also
held firmly on the same basis as Kentucky
seed, in spite of the fact that the biggest
seed production of years is available.

Jobbers are not pleased with the sit-
uation, and plan to stay out of the mar-
ket except for necessary seeds to fill de-

mand as it develops. There is practical-
ly no movement so far.

Orchard grass movement is very dull,
growers being offered from 75c. to $1 a
bushel for threshed, uncleaned seed by
jobbers.

Red top reports from Southern Illinois
indicate a fair crop prospect. A. W. W.

Mendel Tulips

The Tulip family is growing. If you
are interested in novelties and thi_nk you
can develop bulbs, now's your time to
inquire about Mendel Tulips. These are
hybrids of Due von Thai and Darwin Tu-
lips and, judging by the awards given by
the general Bulb Growers Association of
Haarlem, Krelage & Sons have a prom-
ising new race of forcing Darwins in
this new strain.

National Sweet Pea Show (British)

Despite the extreme dryness and heat
early in the season and the unusual cold
that settled over the British Isles in July,
the 22d annual exhibition held at East-
bourne, brought together the finest lot
of bloom staged since before the war. The
special $300 cup offered by the East-
bourne City Corporation for a group
15ft. x 4ft. 6in., stirred up the trade to
a great degree. No less than ten firms,
including Sutton & Sons, were lined up,
but the great fight was between Dobbie
& Co., Edinburgh and Ireland, and Hitch-
cock Marks Tey, Essex. Andrew Ireland,
until four or five years ago, was man-
ager of Dobbie & Co.'s Marks Tey seed
farms and it speaks well for Marks Tey
that these two firms should fight things
so closely, that Dobbie & Co. only scored
one-half a point ahead, this wholly on ar-
rangement. It certainly is a remarkable
fact that Dobbie & Co. as growers and
exhibitors of Sweet Peas, have never
come so close to being equalled as on this
occasion, and it speaks well for the meth-
ods of this retail house as it does for
Ireland & Hitchcock, chiefly wholesale,
that they can run so nearly level. Both
exhibits were veritable masterpieces, the
massive size of the blooms and the col-
oring being away ahead of the rest.

E. W. King & Co. won the W. A. Bur-
pee cup again with a table ar-
rangement of blooms while Ireland &
Hitchcock captured the Monro trophy for
12 varieties raised by the exhibitor.

The table decorations and other decora-
tive exhibits for ladies were a powerful
feature. Mrs. A. R. Bide, wife of the
well known nurseryman, scoring freely.
As stated, only one award was made, this
to an American variety not yet disclosed.

A Double Purpose Power Sprayer

A Kent (England) nurseryman and
fruit grower has invented and is market-
ing a sprayer which has apparently im-
pressed growers, as well as the officials of
the British and Holland governments. A
demonstration given on the inventor's
grounds showed that it was the machine
for acreages of 200 acres and up. It can
pump up to 120 gallons an hour, and is
specially built high, so that it will pass
over currants, etc. planted under orchard
trees. It travels up to 4 miles an hour.

The machine not only throws liquid, but
it will distribute powders 30yds. on either
side, and can be used for Potatoes and
other crops.

The machine costs about $3000, so it
would seem that British growers still
have some money.

Priority of Freight Shipment

No immediate stoppage of general
freight is to be expected from the priority
orders issued last week by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The orders of the
commission were that preferential move-
ment should be given to live stock and
perishable commodities and fuel, and that
all other shipments should not be moved
until the preferred classes had been dis-
posed of. However, at the present time,
reports in Washington indicate, this will
have no effect upon the movement of gen-
eral commodities, since most of the rail-
roads, especially in the West and middle-
West, are well able to handle all the
freight offered. The first section to feel
the effects of the orders will be the
Northwest, where a large part of the
shipments of manufactures originate.
Even on the roads in that section, how-
ever, there is no likelihood that the or-
ders will be enforced to any degree within
the next few weeks.

The orders were issued by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission at the same
time that it issued its orders providing
for priorities in the distribution of coal.
It was pointed out by the commission
that the two orders went hand in hand
and that the priority order for general
freight was intended to insure the trans-
portation of coal. The needs of the rail-
roads must be met first, it was pointed
out, after which public utilities and other
important activities would be taken care
of. Some of the roads were already be-
ginning to feel the pinch, one or two of
them having but a few days' supply of
coal on hand when the order was issued.
At the present time, reports to Washing-
ton indicate there are thousands of cars
lying on sidings loaded with coal await-
ing transportation which cannot be moved
for lack of motive power. It was to in-
sure the movement of these cars that the
Interstate Commerce Commission issued
its priority orders. It is believed, how-
ever, that they will be able to move the
coal cars without greatly retarding the
movement of other classes of freight.

Coal Shortage Will Continue

If the railroad strike ends within a
short time, it will be possible to relieve
the public of the possibilities of any re-
striction on the movement of freight
caused by the priority orders. The pri-
ority orders on coal, however, cannot be
lifted for some time, for there will be a
shortage of coal for several weeks, even
though the coal strike is settled or the
mines re-opened with normal production.
The first coal to come out must be shipped
to the Northwest, where it is necessary to
pile up a reserve before the cold weather
closes the Great Lakes to navigation.
After a reserve is piled up in the North-
west, an attempt will be made to pile up
a similar reserve in New England to
carry that section over the Winter. If
this cannot' be accomplished before the
cold weather, however, the priority order
will be changed so as to place domestic
consumption first, but it is hoped that
there will be adequate coal supplies avail-
able before cold weather makes such
change necessary.

Express Charges, No Revision Yet

It is not likely that the Interstate Com-
merce Commission will make an extended
investigation into express rates until the
coal and railroad strikes are settled.
Some days ago the investigation was
about to be undertaken at the request
of numerous shippers in various indus-
tries who had pointed out to the commis-
sion that while freight rates were re-
duced 10 per cent last month, express
charges were still as high as they had
been at an time during and after the war.
It was intended to make a very full in-
vestigation of the matter similar to the
investigation of freight rates made last
Winter. The rates for coal and the
wages which must be paid the railroad
men now on strike will have considerable
to do with the question of the rates at
which the railroads will be able to handle
freight in the future, and the Interstate

Horticultural Unionism in England

The horticultural section of the Agri-
cultural Union is starting a campaign on
behalf of the Lea Valley nursery workers.
Lea Valley is one of the great glass house
centers of England; miles of glass being
devoted to Tomatoes and Cucumbers.
Eight hour shifts are wanted, with time
and half pay for Sunday work, and time
and quarter pay for overtime on week
days. Fourteen days holiday with pay is
also proposed; the abolition on humitarian
lines of female labor under glass, and
same rate of pay for male and female
workers. The rates asked are $4 for boys
of 15 to 16, up to $12 for men of 21 with
three years experience. Cucumber hands
about $1.50 additional.

Commerce Commission is desirous of
awaiting a settlement of those questions
before taking up the question of express
rates.

The Much Debated Tariff Bill

Although the Senate is making head-
way slowly on the tariff bill, Republican
leaders have hoped that the measure will
be agreed to in full by the time the
House reconvenes on Aug. 15. The wool
schedule has practically been completed,
leaving only the silk, paper, sundry and
free list and administrative provisions to-
be considered. The chief causes of the de-
lay thus far have been the fight on the
cotton and wool provisions of the meas-
ure; the schedules still to be considered
are not as greatly subject of controversy
and it is expected that they will be dis-
posed of in short order.

Leaders in the Senate hope that by the
time the House convenes, the measure
will be ready for commission to the lower
body. The House will spend but a few
days in deciding to disagree to most of
the Senate amendments, following which
the bill will go to a conference committee
composed of members of the Senate and
of the House. It is in this conference
committee that the agreement will be
reached on the various changes which have
most important of these changes, of
course, is the throwing out of the Ameri-
can valuation plan and the substitution
thereof of the plan for assessing ad va-
lorem duties on the foreign valuation, as
in the past. If the foreign valuation
plan of the Senate is agreed to, it will
mean that even those ad valorem duties
provided by the House and agreed to by
the Senate will be considerably lower
than were intended by Chairman Ford-
ney and the House Ways and Means
Committee.

As soon as the tariff is in the hands
of the conference committee, the Senate
will take up the questions of ship sub-
sidy and bonus. It is probable that the
President will be asked to consent to a
postponement of these questions until the
beginning of the new session in Decem-
ber, but in view of his repeated asser-
tions that they would have to be disposed
of before the Senate adjourned, it is not
likely that it will be possible. Even if it
is necessary to take up the bonus and
ship subsidy, however, leaders in Con-
gress are hopeful of adjourning not later
than Sept. 15, which will give them a
couple of months to do a little political
work in their home districts.

Trade Generally Good

The volume of both wholesale and re-
tail trade is holding up gratifyingly, ac-
cording to the monthly survey of busi-
ness conditions just issued by the Federal
Reserve Board. This continuance of
business and industrial activity was the
outstanding feature of the greater part
of the month.

Production has shown further increases
in many lines, while in those which
would normally be noticeably affected by
seasonal influences, decreases on the whole
have been relatively slight, it is stated.
As the month progressed, however, the ef-
fects of the coal and railroad strikes be-
gan to make themselves felt. This in-
fluence has served recently to restrain pro-
ductive activities in various lines, the
most pronounced effects being in iron and
steel. The output in various lines of
manufacture showed further improvement
during the month. A further reduction
in the number of persons out of work
was reported, and scarcity of labor con-
tinued to be noted in several industries.
Unemployment now remains a factor only
in those lines in which labor difficulties
exist.

Rose Geranium

Good for Green During Winter

Hardly ever has the retail grower an
oversupply of greens during Winter, and
yet there is some needed for almost every
order of cut flowers sent out. While you
couldn't use the sweet scented or so-
called Rose Geraniums or some of the
many other varieties for every purpose,
a few feet of bench space devoted to
them will come in handy in a few months
from now. To those of your patrons who
get flowers regularly for home decora-
tion, a couple of lOin. or 12in.
branches of Rose Geraniums sent
along with Carnations. Roses, Freesias,
etc., will be as acceptable as ferns or
Asparagus. The space devoted to these
Geraniums for green will pay as well
as anything that you could have. Rooted
cuttings or 2% in. stocks ; even stock out
of larger pots, planted out now in a
Carnation house, will give you stock
ready for cutting by December and you
can keep on cutting until next Summer ;
thereby saving Asparagus or other more
expensive greens.

Asparagus Sprengeri

Right now is a splendid time to look
around in the houses to decide where a
few more plants of Asparagus Sprengeri
could be benched or planted out to ad-
vantage. Almost every retail grower has
side benches, not ideal for a cut flower
crop. Space along the end of a house;
along the walks or a gutter. To fill up
corners and ends of benches with a lot
of stock never bringing in anything but,
perhaps, insects or bugs doesn't pay.
There are many instances when Spren-
geri could be planted to advantage and
made . to furnish valuable green during
Winter. Stock, even if small, planted
out now, has a chance to become estab-
lished and make a fine growth before
Winter conditions set in. The green
question is an expensive item for the
average florist, and >when you have to

buy every spray it cuts down consider-
able on the margin of profit. Therefore,
devote every foot you can to Asparagus
Sprengeri.

Freesias

You may have no trouble in securing
all the Freesias you want now for plant-
ing, but later on there may be a short-
age, especially of fair-sized bulbs. While
it is best to use the larger sizes for early
flowering, you can get a good percentage
of the %in. size to flower for later. Al-
ways bear in mind that in order to make
money on Freesias you should manage to
have a steady supply of flowers coming
along all Winter. It is by far better to
have only a few to cut each day, even
if not sufficient to supply your require-
ments, than to plant a thousand bulbs
at one time, and have most of them com-
ing in about the same time, with actual
sales for only part of the flowers. Plant
the first batch of bulbs at once and keep
on planting more every few weeks ; keep
this up until the middle of December. If
you get all of the bulbs you will need
now, spread out what you don't plant
for present, in shallow flats and place
the flats in a cool, dry cellar or shed.
They will keep in that way nicely until
wanted. _ If you plant in pots or pans
and set in a frame outdoors, don't make
the mistake to cover them, rather place
a little shade above the frame until they
start into active growth.

Callas

If you intend growing on Callas for
next Winter and early Spring it is soon
time to get them started into growths,
if you haven't done so already. To the
florist depending on a retail trade, Cal-
las are always a good crop to grow, for
the reason that the flowers when cut,
will remain in good shape for many days
and for sprays or design work, they can
always be used to good advantage. Grow
all the Easter Lilies you can to advan-
tage and with cold storage bulbs, you

A New Strain of Iris

A new strain of bulbous Iris of com-
mercial value was recently shown, at the
Iris show in London, by Herbert Chap-
man & Co., who are noted as breeders of
Daffodils, Freesias and other bulbs.

The strain was evolved with the idea
of filling the gap between the late Nar-
cissi and Spanish Iris. The so-called
Dutch Iris partially fills this gap, but
these are really only slightly earlier than
the Spanish, indeed they are really a fine
strain of early Spanish (I. xiphium). By
crossing the older Spanish and newer
Dutch types with the shy but early bloom-
ing I. tingitana, Chapman & Co. have
raised a wonderful strain, both valuable
for cutting and for pot culture. The
firm put up a large collection of these
Rotherside Iris, some under name, and
from illustrations they appear to resemble
strong stemmed Spanish. The flowers
were cut from the open ground and ex-
hibited on June 7.

by division of the old crowns in late
Summer, after flowering, or in early
Spring before growth begins. It will do
well in any well drained border, but pre-
fers a sunny exposure

Frank A. Watjgh.

[While not, perhaps, of great value as
a market flower, local grower florists
might well have a few clumps of
Kwanso on their grounds. It is highly
attractive and it helps for various pur-
poses during July. We have particularly
admired it as it grows around the home
of Peter Beuerlein, Hillsdale, N J., and
alongside the brook which passes through
his property. — Ed.]

Hemerocallis "Kwanso"

This is a double variety of the com-
mon Day Lily, Hemerocallis fulva. The
single type is the commonest representa-
tive of the genus and ought to be the best.
Unfortunately it is about the least attrac-
tive. It has been naturalized throughout
the Northeastern States, and is seen run-
ning half wild along roadsides, and espe-
cially on the sites of abandoned home-
steads.

But the variety Kwanso has points to
recommend it. It is a definitely double
form, and although double flowers are
by no means always superior to the single
forms, in this case the transformation has
produced a large flower of good form and
substance. The color is, if anything,
somewhat softer and richer than the
single progenitor.

Like its parent, it is of the easiest
possible culture. Plants should be taken

can have flowers at times when you can't
have Callas, but even when you have
both to cut, there seems always a chance
to realize a good price for Callas. No one
appreciates them more than the out of
town florist or those located far away
from the large cities. Plant the dormant
tubers in pots just about large enough to
hold them and place in a frame or house,
keeping the soil fairly moist at all times.
By the end of September, shift into 5in.,
6in. or 7in. pots, according to size in
which they are to flower, or bench them.
Some growers prefer plant on a solid bed.
They used a temperature during Winter
. of about 55 deg.

Poinsettias

If you are looking for long stems,
heavy foliage and large bract, don't de-
pend on pot culture for your Poinset-
tias. Make use of a bench. Right now,
good plants out of 2in. or 2%in. pots
planted out into 5in. or 6iu. of good loam
mixed liberally with sharp sand and
well rotted manure, and given about 12in.
of space each way, will soon take hold
and grow rapidly. As frequently stated
in these notes, almost anybody can grow
fine Poinsettias during Summer ; they
thrive like weeds, if in iwell drained soil
and given enough water. Plants grown
in benches are far less subject to sudden
changes in temperature next October or
will stand a 55 deg. house without show-
ing bad effects. You can't say that of
plants grown in pots or pans. Of course,
the plants grown in the benches can only
be used as cut flowers, but every florist
has use for such around Christmas, and
the sooner the young stock is benched,
the better the results.

Various Begonias

Gloire de Chatelaine is still one of the
best pink flowering Begonias of its type
and while you can't compare it with a
Cincinnati, every florist who has use for
flowering pot plants during the Fall,

Winter and Spring months, should al-
ways carry a good stock of Chatelaine.
In your preparations for next Winter,
don't overlook it and 2in. or 2%in. stock
kept shifted from now on, will give you
dainty plants from Oct. 1. Mrs. Patten
and Pride of Newcastle are both good
sorts and should be grown. Some of
the older forms, like Metallica, Coral-
lina, Lucerne, Thurstonii, Otto Hacker
Argenteo and Guttata are just a few
among many desirable sorts, not per-
haps all good Winter bloomers, yet most
desirable for the retail grower. You can
never have too much variety to offer to
your patrons, and well grown Begonias
during Spring, Summer and Fall. With
their beautiful foliage and clusters of
flowers some of the older varieties will
always find admirers. Most of such va-
rieties will thrive in almost any kind of
greenhouse; not only that but with just
a little attention, will prove to be ex-
cellent house plants. Grow on a few.

Pot Chrysanthemums

It should always be made the main
object in growing pot Chrysanthemums
to obtain as large a plant as possible in
the smallest pot. You can't keep on
shifting every time you notice signs of
the roots being pot bound, for it would
mean a lOin. or 12in. pot by November,
when a Gin. or Tin. one is wanted. If
you grow pot plants of Caprice or other
dwarf growing sorts for retail trade, you
have to pinch the plants back at this
time of the year, so as to obtain a low,
bushy growth, and if at all possible,
plunge the pots into soil up to the rim.
They are every bit, if not better off out
in a frame than under glass and should
always have plenty of space for develop-
ment. When the plants become pot
bound in 4s, rather than shift right away,
feed with liquid cow manure. You can

Chrysanthemum Midge in
Mississippi

The first recorded appearance in Mis-
sissippi of the Chrysanthemum gall midge
was announced recently when specimens
of severely infested plants were received
at the State Plant Board laboratory from
two Mississippi greenhouses. In both
cases the plant had been purchased orig-
inally from firms in Illinois. A few days
later the parcel post inspection service
reported the interception of five infested
shipments from Pennsylvania. As the
midge attacks outdoor Chrysanthemums
also, all growers of 'Mums, whether using
greenhouses or not, are asked to send
specimens of suspicious looking plants to
the entomologist A. & M. College, Mis-
sissippi, for determination.

The Double Day Lily

A Plant That Was Lost and
Re-Found

The June issue of Farm and Garden,
published by the Woman's National Farm
and Garden Association, Chicago, con-
tains an interesting article on that de-
lightful little native plant Shortia galaci-
folia. It was first found by Michaux, the
French explorer, in Carolina in 1788,
but for some reason he failed to get seeds
or live plants to France. The dried speci-
men he sent home was stowed away in
Paris and forgotten.

Neither Lyon, Bartram or Frazer, who
traveled the same ground, ever saw the
plant. In 1839 Asa Gray, the American
botanist, was studying Michaux's collec-
tion, and piqued by the brief statement
that one of the specimens came from the
Carolina mountains, he later on made a
search. He failed, as did others whom he
deputed to seek for it. In the meantime
Gray had named it Shortia galacifdlia,

basing his reason on the fact that it close-
ly resembled the description of the
Japanese Shortias, but which he had not
seen. When he later saw a picture of
the Japanese species, he was fully con-
vinced that the Michaux specimen, which
no American had ever seen, was a
Shortia.

In 1877, however, a boy found an odd
flower at Statesville, N. C. His father,
an herbalist, unable to recognize it, sent
it to Gray, who at once recognized the
long lost Shortia. The boy's father, Mr.
Hyams, collected many plants and sent
them to various points; in fact, he ap-
parently cleared it out, for no more was
ever found there, and Gray's second search
elsewhere again ended in failure.

In 1886 Prof. C. S. Sargent and C. S.
Stiles made a search, after carefully not-
ing what Michaux had entered in his
diary 98 years before. At the end of two
days a strange leaved plant was found. It
proved to be the missing Shortia, and
from this little colony of plants has been
built up the stock of an Alpine flower
which is probably better known in Europe
than it is in America. So far as is known,
in only one spot by the Toxaway River,
N. C, is this Shortia to be found in the
wild state.

New Dwarf Poly Roses

A recently certified Rose is Alice Amos
described as a dwarf American Pillar. The
color, if anything, is brighter, as shown
at the N. R. S. show. Pink Delight ia
another English novelty, raised by Lax-
ton. It is said to be a unique break, but
strangely enough it also is described as
a dwarf American Pillar.

Turbat & Co. of Orleans have a brace
of new Polys in Linette, reddish-apricot,
and Monette, fiery red. Both are said to
be perpetual.

Retinispora obtusa nana as
a Hedge Plant

A DWARF evergreen hedge that will stand up
under the severe Winter of two years ago and
that can be used for a formal garden enclosure
as a substitute for Box bush where the latter proves
uncertain in Winter, is indeed worthy of attention.
Such is Retinispora obtusa nana shown in our illus-
tration. More expensive, of course, than Arborvita?,
and for which it might readily be mistaken, but it's
well worth the difference in cost and nurserymen may
recommend it where a choice hedge of an uncommon
plant is desired. While our photograph was taken
primarily to show nurserymen the possibilities of
this plant for hedge purposes, reference to some of
the other plants which lend to this snug and pic-
turesque setting may prove of interest.

First let us state that this is the lodge or gatehouse
of the fine estate of State Senator, Dr. George W.
Woodward, which overlooks the Cirshrim and Wis-
sahickon Valleys of Fairmount Park at Chestnut
Hill, Philadelphia. The Darwin Tulips standing well
above the foil of English Daisies (Bellis perennis)
and Pansies, may be noted in the bed bordered by the
Retinispora. The large Box bush on either side of
doorway forms a substantial base as it were for the
arch of Wistaria, while the Wistaria clambering over
the right side of building seems bent on reaching
for some of the water in the pot of our friend up on
the weather yane. The latter is a most appropriate
design for a property where plants are not only
loved and cared for, but where the public is free to
stroll around and enjoy them with their owners; the
only price of admission being "visitors are welcome
if they respect the shrubbery."

The large tree which forms such a good background
for this picture, is one of a double row of Oriental
Planes, which line the public highway without. The
low branches have been trimmed up on the inside to
those of considerable height which sweep upward to

Retinispora obtusa nana as a Hedge Plant

meet similar ones on the opposite tree, forming a
gothic archway through which motorists have a
pleasing vista for a considerable distance. Perhaps
we will photograph it some day.

Propagation of the Retinispora (or Chanwecyparis
as botanists prefer to call it) obtusa nana is usually
by cuttings made in early Winter and placed in sand
under glass. Samuel Newman Baxteb.

Some Herbaceous Perennials that Bloom in July

Color Combinations Noted and Arrangements that Please

Possibly no department of the nursery business af-
fords a better opportunity for participation to ad-
vantage on the part of the florist than that of her-
baceous perennials. These plants are becoming more
popular each year, and as they require a minimum
amount of space and involve much less labor in their
digging and shipping than trees, shrubs and ever-
greens, all florists with a little ground should con-
sider their possibilities. Unlike the nurserymen, who
do not as a rule bother with the cut flowers, except
perhaps the Peonies, florists could realize something
on this feature alone, in addition to receipts from the
sale of plants, which, if potted, may continue over
the Summer months when business is at a standstill.

In our review of the herbaceous plants that bloom
in July, there are so many in our notes that we are
inclined to group them under colors, heights or per-
haps the diiferent positions or purposes for which
they are most appropriate. But the latter would
necessitate duplications where plants deservedly pos-
sess dual personalities, and so we had better present
them in a running comment, just as they came to us
in our observations.

Easily the most important for the month, and also
one of the top notch sellers among all herbaceous
plants, is the Phlox decussata in its many varieties.
What colorful effects are possible with them by the
use of white to separate the dark colors in the blend-
ing mass — where space permits — of pinks, lavender
and on into the dark purples. We can recall no other
perennial that comes nearer to filling the bill (for
showiness, if not in length of bloom) for bedding
purposes than the Phlox, whose large panicles, espe-
cially of the young plants, is dazzling.

Two Great Favorites

While many of July's favorites are suitable for
cutting, perhaps the most popular with florists for
bouquet purposes are the Baby's Breath, Oypsophila
paniculata, and the Sea Lavender, Statice latifolia.
The flowers are both very small, but so numerous
as to lend flufflness to cut flower arrangement. The
former has white flowers; the Statice is a misty
mauve and has the additional feature that if cut
now, they may be placed in vases without water and
retain their attractive form throughout Winter as
an "everlasting." This also applies to the Globe This-
tle, EcMnops Ritro and bannaticus, whose metallic
blue ball-like flower heads may now be seen and to
the smaller growing Sea Holly, Eryngium amethysti-
ii inn. Both are interesting plants.

The Chinese Larkspur, Delphinium chinensis also
provides a supply of cut blooms and in the garden,
is effective in company with Baby's Breath. Gold
Banded Lily, Lilium auratum, the yellow Chamomile,
Anthemis tinctoria Kehoayi, and Stokes Aster, Sto-
kesia cyanea and, where one wants to use a taller yel-
low Daisy than the yellow Chamomile, Coreopsis seni-
folia and Inula Helenium are suggested, while still
taller, O. tripteris, which grows 7ft., was seen in a
wild plantation to advantage with the White Speed-
well, Veronica mrginica. The White Snakeroot, Cimi-
cifuga racemosa, could also be used in place of the
Speedwell. For the same wild garden we would sug-
gest the Senna, Cassia marilandica, a member of the
Pea family whose orange yellow flowers are clus-
tered in attractive pinnate foliage.

I As a background plant in the herbaceous border —
it is bold enough to group with shrubs — the Plume
Poppy, Bocconia cordata, is a good subject, with its

creamy white flowers, straw colored seed clusters
which follow, and attractively cut foliage, silvery
beneath. It would form a good background, or per-
haps is a little tall, for the Purple Monkshood, Aconi-
tum Napellns, while the latter groups well with the
orange Black-eyed Susan, Rudbeckia Newmannii, and
the white spikes of Gooseneck, Lysimachia cleth-
roid.es. Another species, L. vulgaris, Loosestrife, is a
good yellow subject, not seen much of late.

Plants for Rockeries and Walls

For the wall garden or rockery the attractive blue
flowers of the Leadwort, Plumbago Larpentw, are with
us for a ten weeks' engagement. The dwarf blue
Speedwell, Veronica spicata nana, is also appropriate
as is the Tunica Saxifraga, noted in the wall garden
of Win. Warner Harper, the nurseryman, at Chest-
nut Hill, Philadelphia.

For the water's edge or moist locations, of course,
first place goes to that vivid Cardinal Flower, Lo-
belia cardinalis; second (but keep them separated
for they will clash), the Rose Loosestrife, Lythrum
roseum superbum, also the Blazing Star, Liatrus pyc-
nostachya. A real bold display in orange Daisies
is obtained in that coarse, tall growing Cup Plant or
Rosin Weed, Silphium perfoliatum) with its inter-
esting characteristic of hollow square stems. There
is an intensity of color about the orange or brick red
flowers of the Butterfly Plant, Asclepias tuberosa,
that fairly penetrates when they are seen in sunny
fields and, like scarlet, one plant is more effective
than many. With it we suggest the white Aster
ptarmicoides. Blooming early in the month is the
Tawny Day Lily, Hemerocallis fulva, whose orange
red flowers do not harmonize with others nearly so
well as the yellow species, H. flava and Thunbergii.
In fact, an improvement over the common H. fulva,
if one wants flowers of this color, is the large, double
form, H. fulva fl. pi. "Kwansa." The color might be
termed a Nasturtium orange, and so well do they
harmonize, that Nasturtium used as an edging in a

Some Herbaceous Perennials that
Bloom in July

(Continued from previous page)

broad bed where Hemerocallis Kwansa
was in the background were very effec-
tive.

With these Day Lilies may be grouped
the Montbretias, with orange yellow,
spike-like racemes, and the Blackberry
Lily, Belamcanda chinensis or Pardan-
thus sinensis, with spotted orange red,
starry flowers. Both have Iris-like foli-
age: With the yellow Day Lilies the
white and blue Japanese Beliflowers,
Platycodon grandiflora, look well.

The Monarda didyma Cambridge Scar-
let form a great attraction for the bees
and its purple mate, M. purpurea, are
two popular Bee Balms ; also known as
Oswego Tea. The aromatic fragrance of
their foliage is liked by many. White
Phlox makes a good companion, while
for a yellow, we suggest the rather un-
unusal, but striking, yellow Cornflower,
Centaurea macrocephalus, with its bold
thistle-like flowers.

Plants Happy Anywhere

The Plantain Lily, Funhia ovata, is
an old favorite and even shade will not
prevent its sending up the strong spike
of blue flowers. The variegated forms
are most popular with florists and are
readily sold for the edging of beds of
annuals, perennials or even evergreen
and shrub porch beds. Polygonum com-
pactum is a bushy, herbaceous plant
with small creamy white flowers, and
robust enough to group in the fore-
ground of the shrubbery border where
it is really more appropriate than with
the herbaceous perennials. Whether in
swampy ground, its habitat, or in a dry
situation, the Mallow Marvels, Hibiscus,
in shades of red, pink, white and per-
haps some day, a yellow, make a show-
ing and are with us now until frost.
Those having the divided leaf of the
H. militaris parent are more desirable.
With it in the background, may be
massed the double yellow Sunflower,
Helianthus multiflorus plenus, the flow-

ers of which form a compact ball like
a Dahlia.

David's Clematis, 0. Davidfcma, a
bush form from Japan, is in bloom this
month. It modestly hides the attractive
clusters of blue flowers, resembling a
Hyacinth, in the wealth of foliage. The
pink flower spikes of the Obedient Plant.
Physostegia virginica, are worth a place
in the flower garden, and combine well
with the white Gooseneck previously re-
ferred to or the Blue Speedwell, Veron-
ica longifolia subsessilis, which starts to
flower the end of July.

Grow Some for Cutting

We have not included those flowers
which started to bloom in June and are
still with us, and we might continue
with many others, but let these suffice
to show the ample assortment of flow-
ers available for the July garden, be it
at the home in the city's suburb, in the
mountains, or at the seashore. The nur-
seryman or florist grower who handles
this class of stock can plan and provide
a planting in which everything will bloom
in this month should the owner so de-
sire. Florists should give thought to the
growing of a limited number of the most
wanted perennials, especially those suit-
able for cuttings.

Southern Nurserymen's Convention

I am just "full" of conventions. This
time it is the "Southern" brand. You
remember, it is going to be held in God's
country — Lexington. You all know one of
the many things Kentucky is noted for
(that's why I am full). There is going
to be more present — more doing — more
said and more wished for than any old
convention in a long time. Even the
ladies are coming. Several members have
already planned to drive through and
bring her along. God bless them, let 'em
come, but tell Ollie now they are coming.

Don't get excited, fellows, but honestly
we are going to have a real, honest, good
nursery convention. We welcome you, we
want you, we want you badly. Lexington
extends a wholesome welcome to you, one
and all. So "plan to plant" yourself here
on Sept. 6 and 7.

Yours with a hearty welcome for a good
convention and a good time.

Gift of Orchids to Kew

Last year, owing to the River Thames
almost drying up and sea water finding its
way beyond Kew, great numbers of
orchids ' and other valuable plants were
destroyed by the salt water which got into
the greenhouse tanks. To make up some
of the losses Sir Geo. Holford, who pos-
sesses a vast collection, has just presented
Kew with a large number. The gift is
said to be worth several thousand pounds
sterling.

Pot Washing Brushes Wanted

A California nursery concern is desir-
ous of information as to the manufac-
turers of pot washing brushes. We are
unable to find any catalog listing such,
and have no knowledge of whether such
brushes are made in the United States.
We know such brushes are in common
use in England, and that the sundries
houses there stock them. Can any reader
say whether these short handled conical
brushes are made anywhere on this side
of the water?

Holyoke, Mass., Parks Committee
Wants City Nursery

It has been suggested by the chairman
of the Park and Recreation Committee of
Holyoke, Mass., that a nursery be estab-
lished by the city for the raising of its
own flowers and shrubs. The suggestion
has met with great favor and will very
likely be adopted as it is believed the es-
tablishment of city owned greenhouses
would result in a great saving to the city.
It would also permit the carrying out of
plans for a Holyoke Rose garden and
further beautifying of the city parks at a
small cost. The house on the Ball prop-
erty, which is to be purchased by the city,
will probably be converted into a green-
house, and an experienced horticulturist
will in all probability be engaged.

Plant Importation in England

The experience gained from the De-
structive Insects and Pests Order, 1921,
has prompted the Ministry to frame new
regulations. These came into force on
July 1.

The principle that all imported plants
must be accompanied by a health certifi-
cate from the point of shipment is main-
tained, but a copy of this certificate need
not be fixed to the package as formerly.
Two copies, however, must go with the
papers relating to the consignment. One
certificate will be sent by the British cus-
toms to the consignee, the other is re-
tained. Uncertified consignments cannot
be examined at the ports, but instead of
holding up at the ports, as formerly, the
customs will ship to consignee, who must
retain the goods until an inspector has
pronounced them healthy. This inspection
will probably be charged up to the con-
signee, so that all shippers of plants to
Great Britain should make sure of having
the necessary certificates.

Rose, Frank Dunlop and Others in
England

In contradiction to a recent writer to
the Horticultural Advertiser, H. Morse,
a well-known specialist, says F. Dunlop
is not so good outdoors as Mrs. Chas.
Russell by a long way. It is classed as
an ugly shape and a poor opener. Rose
Marie is promising ; Columbia and Pre-
mier are both very fine and sweetly
scented.

Commenting on Souv. Claudius Per-
net, Mr. Morse says : "We have now
grown this for two years, and the more
we see of it on our place, the less we
like it." This is the first severe criticism
we have seen on this new yellow. Mr.
Morse, however, always speaks as he
finds things ; he grows every new Rose
as it appears, being a large wholesale
propagator. He classes the new Etoile
d'Holland as among the finest bedding
Roses, "far in front of Hadley and never
fades."

A Striking Personality

From the California Garden, H. W.
Kruckeberg sends us the following ap-
preciative notice of a California pioneer
plantsman — an early associate of John
Rock — of the California Nursery Co.,
which is now owned by another progres-
sive nurseryman in the person of George
C. Roeding:

"Mr. E. Benard, San Diego's popular nur-
seryman, is the grandson of a family of nur-
serymen dating from after the Napoleonic
wars. Laurent Matthieu Benard was in 1820
one of the leading nurserymen at Orleans,
France, which was then a center of produc-
tion of nursery stock. Before the railroads
were available for transportation between
towns, he filled three or four large two-wheeled
drays drawn by two or four horses and went
from fair to fair selling fruit trees, forest
seedlings and shrubs, going as far as Paris,
a long journey for those times.

"In 1846 E. L. Benard, the father of E.
Benard, was connected with his cousin Briolet
in the decorating and florist business in Paris,
having charge of the garden of the Hotel of
James Rothschild in Rue Lafitte. This father
of the all-powerful bankers of that day, used
to come into his garden and chat with the
gardener and take a snack with him of French
bread and Chablis. Benard's father in 1849
took charge of his father's nursery business
in Orleans, where he stayed till his death.

"In 1S84 E. Benard came to America to es-
tablish better commercial relations with the
nursery trade. He worked with W. C. Wilson,
Astoria, N. Y.; Robert J. Halliday, Baltimore,
where he specialized in Azaleas and Camelias,
then with Robert Craig, the leading Philadel-
phia florist. Expecting to return to France
he wanted to see California, thinking to look
it over in a couple of weeks, but he got him-,
self tangled up with the California Nursery
Co. at Niles and induced the then manager,
John Rock, to go in strongly for Roses. He
came to San Diego with a large consignment
of plants at the opening of the Hotel del Co-
ronado. and he has never gotten away. He
started a nursery in Mission Valley and his
name is known wherever people grow Roses
in this big West. He keeps us his affiliations
with France and her doings in his line through
his brother George, who is the leading nur-
seryman of the Orleans district, and through
whom comes to San Diego the best of the in-
troductions in the old world."

Tompkinsville, N. Y. — At a recent
meeting of the Committee of the Whole of
the Board of Estimate, a resolution was
adopted approving of the form of contract
for the $15,000 greenhouse that will be
erected in Silver Lake Park.

Progressive High Class Florists Know

that it is necessary to grow some material of EXTRAORDINARY QUALITY and UNUSUAL in VARIETY,

such as we supply to our clientele for EXHIBITION PURPOSES; they need it for their critical clients
and for display and show purposes.

Though our business is exclusively with owners of private estates
who require the very FINEST in QUALITY, we have decided
to offer from time to time some of this SELECT MATERIAL
at FAIR PRICES to those who have a FIRST-CLASS STAND-
ING.

Just now we have the FINEST STOCK of TRUE LILIUM

HARRISII that has come from Bermuda for many years; there
is no stock in Bermuda that can equal our strain for QUALITY
and TRUENESS to type; open a case and look at them and if
you do not think they are the finest lot of bulbs you have ever
seen, send them back at our expense.

These LILY BULBS are the result of careful rogueing of weak
plants and selection under the advice of Professor H. H. Wetzel,
Pathologist of Cornell University, who has used these LILIES
as contrast experiments in photographing fields to show the
difference between TRUE HARRISII and HYBRID or de-
generated stock.

FINEST TRUE STRAIN OF LILIUM HARRISII, for im-
mediate shipment.
Case of 50 bulbs, size 9-1 1 in., all Single Nosed Bulbs. $28. 00
Case of 100 bulbs, size 9-1 1 in., all Single Nosed Bulbs. 55.00

OUR LILIUM FORMOSUMS are likewise the finest, truest
strain procurable.
Case of 50 bulbs, size 12-14 in., all Single Nosed Bulbs. S49.00

Of Special Interest to Nurserymen

Kansas City nurserymen specializing in ornamental
stock are eager that ornamental horticulturists,
both those who are nurserymen primarily, and those
who, as florists, have added nursery departments,
should secure the largest possible advantage from
their visit to Kansas City.

"We want the visitors to see the examples of in-
teresting plantings," said Geo. H. Johnston, who
while not raising flowers, has been an active mem-
ber of the Kansas City Florists Club. "We know
that they may gain many valuable hints from noting
the varieties of shrubs and trees planted here, and
the manner in which they have succeeded. And we
want them to visit our nurseries, if possible, to ob-
serve the stock growing here."

The local nurserymen wish to get into touch with
the visiting horticulturists immediately upon their
reaching the city, so that any particular desire of
the visitors may be provided for. Motor cars will
be available, to take them to any desired local ob-
jective, either of a planting or a nursery, at any
time they find it convenient.

While the trip over the boulevards will provide a
general view of Kansas City plantings, particularly
the Park Board work, the nurserymen will want to
know what has been done with private work, and
will want the suggestions from men familiar with
local varieties and conditions, to comment on the
scenes observed.

The extent of local ornamental horticultural work
may be gained from the statement that the Kansas
City Nurseries plant around 250,000 cuttings of hardy
shrubs each year ; the planting of hardy shrubs in
the Spring of 1922 was 300.000. This company has
three nurseries. The oldest is that at Wilder, where
fruit, shrubs and shade trees are grown. Another is
at Bonner Springs, where evergreens, fruit and shade
trees are found ; the third, the city nursery, is at
Kansas ave. and Carlisle rd., where only ornamentals
are grown. The Holsinger and the Chandler nur-
series are in Kansas City, Kan., also, in the same
vicinity, so that these three may be easily reached.

The new nursery project of William L. Rock is
near Independence, and will be seen when the visitors
make the trip to observe the flower growing houses
in that neighborhood.

Local nurserymen will be on hand to give special
information on this topic, and the Information Com-
mittee of the local club will give general data, and
guide motor cars in case any visitors do not happen
to get into touch with nurserymen.

Some of the leading horticulturists of the country
who specialize in ornamentals, are known to be plan-
ning to attend the convention in Kansas City, for
the twofold purpose of getting personally acquainted
with the Kansas City territory, and of securing the
manifold benefits of such a gathering as this.

Special provision has been made for giving the
visiting nurserymen all information likely to be of
service. The local nurserymen will have their motor
cars, and as many more as are needed, at the dis-
posal of the visitors; this in addition to the general
arrangements for providing transportation.

Trips will be made, both to the local nurseries, and
to the estates near Kansas City, where ornamental
shrubbery and trees have been planted. Invitations
to nurserymen to inspect the plantings in some of the
most important of these estates, have already been
secured, and it will be well worth a trip to Kansas
City, merely to examine these plantings, and to ob-
serve the manner in which the developments have
been brought about.

Landscape Work in Kansas City

The Rockhill District

Nurserymen and ornamental horticulturists, visit-
ing Kansas City, will find developments here that
no doubt will astonish them. This section of the
country has seen great developments within a genera-
tion, yet there are homesteads and estates which
except for the lack of very large trees, compare fa-
vorably with estates of the East that have been in
process of development for perhaps a hundred years.

Having in mind the service rendered by ornamental
horticulturists in the beautifying of the 'city, thought

A partial view of Oak Hall on the W. R. Nelson estate. (See test.)

goes back to the old firm- of Blair & Kaufman, nur-
serymen who, serving a large district with fruit stock,
also started in the earlier days a service in orna-
mental shrubs and trees. This firm is now the Kan-
sas City Nurseries, owned by George H. Johnston,
who went with the original company in 1891, and
therefore has seen the ornamental developments pro-
gress to their present stage. The nursery of this
company at Wilder, near Bonner Springs, has very
large shade and ornamental trees.

There was a time when nurserymen used to get
worried over the growing stock, fearing that when
the trees reached a certain size, they would cease to
be marketable. No doubt they often looked over their
nurseries, and seeing the trees that had "ceased to be
children" regretted having plunged in the planting
of those varieties. But the day of such worries is past.

Fifteen years ago the Kansas City Nurseries were
among the first to use the derrick in Kansas City
and since that day, every worth while tree increases
in value through the years ; that is. if it is a variety
that can safely be transplanted. There is a constantly
growing demand for large shade and ornamental
trees, whereby large lots and estates can be given an
atmosphere of age. as well as the artistic effect which
large trees provide.

The park and boulevard improvements of Kansas
City naturally have had a tremendous influence in
creating an appreciation of shade and ornamental
trees. This development began in the eighties, when
a few men had the vision of a beautiful city. A. R.
Meyer, a wealthy citizen, then member of the board
of park commissioners, and W. R. Nelson, publisher
of the Kansas City Star, led the movement, having
George E. Kessler as their practical adviser, as land-
scape architect of the park board.

Notable Examples of Early Landscaping

Visitors may observe, in several of the older es-
tates, the very beginnings of the beautification of
home grounds. Mr. Meyer and Mr. Nelson improved
their own home grounds, then far outside the city
limits, thus setting an example for the entire city,
and providing an inspiration. Mr. Nelson, in addition
to remarkably extensive plantings on his residence
grounds, bought large tracts south of the city, later
brought into the city limits, which he held, plotted
and planned for home grounds, lavishly planted. The
Nelson and Meyer homes adjoin, and they are now
not far from the geographical north and south center
of Kansas City. The Nelson estate adjoins the Coun-
try Club district of J. C. Nichols.

Visitors who make a tour of the city may well see
the Meyer home, for that represents the first inspira-
tion toward careful landscaping of extensive home
grounds here. As their motor cars wend southward
toward the Meyer home, however, they will pass
along boulevards and through "additions" that reflect
the same liberal use of plantings on extensive tracts.
One is inclined, thinking of Kansas City's parks, to

conceive them as open spaces among crowded homes,
but there are sections like Jannsen Place, connecting
with Robert Gilham rd., in districts of many apart-
ment houses, where half-blocks are reserved for
home grounds. The W. A. Pickering home is one of
these, at 3640 Jannsen Way, where there is a large
open lawn at front and side of house, large trees in
the lawn, and particularly effective border planting.
As background for the lawn is a border and flower
garden, back of the garden being larger shrubs and,
on the rear edge of the tract, large trees. This has
had ten years in which to show the ultimate effect
of the original planning. Near the Pickering home
is the Henry C. Flower estate of five acres, where
the shrubbery border screens the yard, and where
more extensive tree planting is noted.

Oak Hall, the residence of the late W. R. Nelson,
was built by him in 18S7. It is perhaps the most
noted show building in Kansas City, formerly often
called a "castle" because of the combination of old
world architectural and landscaping features. The
structure is of stone from the immediate neighbor-
hood and, by the way, the erection of this structure
promoted the use of native stone, whereby landscap-
ing with an aim to reproducing old world atmosphere
was stimulated. The house stands on the higher ele-
vation of a 20^acre tract, whereby terrace effects are
obtained. In these 20 acres, hundreds of varieties
of shrubs and trees were planted by Mr. Nelson ; not
only the varieties that are known to do well here,
but scores of others. There recently was a warm argu-
ment, in the newspapers, over a Gingko tree in Kansas
City, which was said to, be the only one in this dis-
trict. But there has been one in the Nelson grounds
for many years. The Kansas City nurseries have also
stocked this tree for years. It will be a "popular
sport" for nurserymen to visit the Nelson estate and
identify trees. Pete and Herman Larsen have had
years with the Nelson estate.

The A. R. Meyer estate, occupied by the widow of
the park improvement pioneer, is 15 acres, and repre-
sents a quite different scheme of ornamentation; it
also has many ornamental trees, some of them rare.
Whereas the Nelson grounds are surrounded by rough
stone walls covered with Roses, and Honeysuckle, the
Meyer grounds have formal brick walls," and much
elaborate border treatment, the profusion of varie-
ties in the border being astonishing.

A short distance south of the Nelson estate is the
estate of Walter S. Dickey, clay manufacturer, and
now publisher of the Kansas City Journal-Post. This
consists of 10 acres, developed within the past four
years. The rugged topography has offered marvelous
opportunities for the landscape artist and the nur-
seryman. There is a water garden here, and the
treatment of the hillsides and hollows is interesting.

C. A. Blankenfeld, in charge of the Dickey estate,
has a great opportunity, both as to nursery work and
as to flowers, for this tract is still in course of beauti-
(Continued on. page 353)

The Florists' Exchange

(Concluded from page 352)
fication. Mr. Blankenfeld, by the way, is well known
to Eastern nurserymen and florists. He learned nur-
sery work and floriculture in the old country, where
landscaping unites the two arts. He formerly had a
greenhouse in Kansas City, at Twelfth and Elmwood.

The distinctive border treatment will also be noted,
around the H. F. Hall estate, where patches of shrub-
bery are used, between which, views of the lawn and
other shrubbery and trees of the large grounds may
be observed and appreciated.

Nearby, the Shields estate offers another distinc-
tive view, but of a high wall, above which, a vast va-
riety of ornamental trees is seen. The U. S. Epperson
home offers still another change, a novel "castle" on
a hilltop, with rugged surroundings; just how being
•developed.

Visitors may well keep in mind some of these
names, and make a point of seeing the estates, for
they reflect developments extending over various
lengths of time, backed by almost unrestricted free-
dom of expenditure.

The Country Club District

Passing from the Rockhill district to the Country-
Club area the visitors will surely note the M. B. Nel-
son home, with its wonderful window boxes on each
floor. The Ben C. Hyde home is locally noted among
landscape artists as perhaps the finest example of
planting for artistic effect, of a comparatively small
tract. The J. J. Heim home and that of J. W. Perry
are noted architecturally, while the J. C. Nichols
•home grounds needs close study. The C. C. Peters
honie, adjoining that of Mr. Nichols, has a water gar-
den wherein is a story. It was made out of "whole
cloth," from a low spot in the grounds, all features
being applied artificially, but producing a result
strikingly natural.

Visitors will find perhaps 150 or more varieties of
trees and shrubs growing here.

Locally, the nurserymen are frank to say that many
of these succeed because of the good care given. The
large estates are proving to the community that cer-
tain trees and shrubs, of peculiar attractiveness, can
and will flourish here, and therefore much curiosity
is aroused among the home owners regarding these
strange varieties; and desire is often expressed to
own similar examples. But the tendency is to en-
courage planting by small home owners, only of the
varieties that are sure to succeed with little care,
leaving the unusual varieties, for the citizens who
can afford to employ expert gardeners.

The marked increase in the number of persons who
can afford to secure expert help in care of trees and
shrubs is greatly expanding the market for compara-
tively unfamiliar varieties. The local nurseries have,
for years, recognized and foreseen this demand, and
have developed stock to meet it ; every year there is a
substantial movement of a large number of varieties.

The tendency to use shrubbery and trees lavishly
is greatly promoted hy the plantings by promoters
on property that may not be sold for years. Parts of
the Nelson holdings, in the Rockhill district, vacant
lots, have been beautiful with shrubbery and trees
for 20 years. There are scores of acres of tracts, some
of them small lots, enclosed in low stone walls, with
vines and Roses that have bloomed over a similar
period, with shrubbery almost hiding the yards, and
with trees that now have attained considerable size
—all cared for as carefully as though there were
houses on the grounds, and people living in them.
Even lots of 25ft. are thus cared for. And one will
see here cottages close to the sidewalk, but between
the houses and street is an abundance of shrubbery.

The Most Popular Trees and Shrubs

The White Elm predominates in Kansas City, both
for shade trees and for ornamental use; there are
more White Elms than of all other trees combined.
Sugar Maple ranks next, for both shade and orna-
mental planting; the other fairly popular varieties
lag far behind. Following are lists of the varieties
of trees and shrubs which nurserymen will be inter-
ested to note as the most popular, and as those doing
wen here: Shade trees for street planting— White
Jilm, Sugar Maple, Sycamore, White Ash.

Trees for ornamental planting— White Elm, Sugar
Maple, Norway Maple, Silver Maple, Lombardy Pop-
lar, Catalpa Bungeii, Beehtel's Flowering Crab.'White
-Dirch.

Evergreens — Arborvitte
Spruce, Pines.

The Downtown Floral Shops

Let us go back to the Muehlebach and start over
again, with another objective, the downtown floral
establishments. The first one seen is the Muehlebach
Flower Shop, facing Baltimore ave., in the hotel
building. It is owned by the Baltimore-Muehlebach
interests, and Hugo R. Neflf, formerly with a leading-
Kansas City florist, is manager.

There are many florists' shops in the business dis-
trict, some occupying small space, where retailers do
a large volume in both cut flowers and plants. The
first of the growers with downtown retail store that
we reach is Alpha Elberfield, whose Alpha Floral Co.,
1105 Walnut St.. does an extraordinary volume of
business. Visitors may get some tips on system by
calling at his office and observing his methods.

Around the block, eastward, to Grand ave., south
of Eleventh, west side, is the retail store of William
L. Rock, with the largest retail store organization in
Kansas City. Here is a show window long noted
for the beauty and attractiveness of its displays, and
recognized by the proprietor as a money maker and
business bringer. Note the building, too; it belongs
to Mx-. Rock, and each floor has outside window boxes
with flowers in them. The Kansas City Wholesale
Cut Flower Co., L. R. Bohannon's Co., is upstairs in
this building.

One block north, on Grand, between Tenth and
Eleventh, is Samuel Murray's retail store, where the
floors, walls, decorations and arrangement reflect a
meticulous attention to detail in planning a flower
store, and also very keen perception of fittingness in
materials used and design. This is the most recently
built of downtown stores. Attention is also called to

Where Do We Eat ?

Most convenient, of course, are the Muehlebach
grill or tea rooms, the Baltimore Pompeiian room
or the coffee shops of these hotels, prices at the lat-
ter being about the same as at high-class restaurants,
and lower than at some. Kansas City has a large va-
riety of kinds of eating places; one class has been
peculiarly developed here, it is said, that is the small
place with counter and a few tables, where meals are
served quickly, and cooked in view. There are half a
dozen really fine upstairs restaurants and tea rooms,
and two or three ground floor eating places quite
unique in fittings and service. There are some sub-
urban tea rooms worth taking time to visit. No
guest need waste a single luncheon, however rushed
he may be, upon a mediocre restaurant, and there
are a few of them here, but the information com-
mittee can direct to places worth while.

of shrubs, Honeysuckle and Roses, are features of the Rockhill

district. (See text.)

the flower boxes on the sidewalk, the general ap-
pearance of this store front and those in the entire
block.

One block east of Grand, at Eleventh and McGee
sts., is the store of Arthur Newell, where a large vol-
ume of business is done without disturbing the'peace-
ful and attractive appearance of the interior of this
store, visible through windows from both Eleventh
and McGee sts.

On McGee between Eleventh and Twelfth is the
T. J. Noll wholesale establishment, upstairs; on Mc-
Gee, north of Eleventh, ground floor, is the wholesale
place of H. Kusik, who distributes supplies and flow-
ers, the latter including the John Stevens production
On Tenth, between McGee and Grand, is Miss J e'
Murray's retail store.

The Stuppy Supply Co., Glenn K. Parker, manager
is on Oak st, between Tenth and Eleventh, Oak bein<^
east of McGee. Miss Lou Boggess has a retail store
near Rock's, at the corner of Eleventh st. and Grand
ave. The Owl Flower Shop, in a small alcove of the
Owl Drug store at Twelfth and Walnut, does a lar^e
volume in small space. The Apollo Flower Shop will
be noted at Main and Eleventh, the west end of
Petticoat Lane.

Tips to Visitors

Visitors are advised that some sections of the city
have peculiar virtues and values, and are well worth
noting, to preserve a picture of Kansas City.

There's Twelfth st., for instance, on which the
Baltimore and Muehlebach hotels, besides the Dixon,
Sexton, Glennon, are located, around Baltimore ave
Westward on Twelfth are the Washington and other
hotels ; the Washington stands at the top of the hill
overlooking the West Bottoms. By all means, walk
to the hill, or better take the car and ride west on
Twelfth, to observe that industrial and wholesale
section. Kansas City is, as might be expected, one
of the country's greatest distributers of farm imple-
ments, the houses adjoining Twelfth in the bottoms,
beyond them being the stockyards. Kansas City is
the world's greatest stock and feed market, besides
the world's greatest market for pure bred cattle. It
used to be the world's greatest horse and mule mar-
ket, but we don't boast of that distribution so much
as formerly. The West Bottoms has the tractor dis-
tributers— "some of them" — so that we keep up the
reputation for supplying farm power.

While on Twelfth, remember that this street is
considered one of the best retail streets in the United
States, at least for some lines, for it is the most popu-
lous in the city. The largest department store, Jones
Store Co., is at Twelfth and Main, covering nearly a
block.

Shopping interest starts right at the Muehlebach,
with some of the finest specialty shops of the city in
the building. One block eastward, on Main, starting
northward from Twelfth, the visitors will find the
largest specialty stores handling women's wear, which
are well worth observing; the large Kansas City
store ; Harzfeld's Parisian, a women's specialty store
of ten stories, at Eleventh and Main are of interest.
Then there is the pair of stores always subject of
curiosity, the Geo. B. Peck Dry Goods Co., across the
street west of Harzfeld's, and the John Taylor Dry
Goods Co. This Taylor store is famous over the coun-
try for many reasons, one being its exclusively cash
policy, another being the general atmosphere of the
store, with fittings and arrangement that are said to
be unique. A block east from these is the great
Emery Bird Thayer Co.'s department store, which by
the way has a tea room of more than local fame.

Petticoat Lane

Eleventh St., westbound, jogs at Main, veering
south a few feet. From this point it works eastward
two blocks to the Grand ave. comer of Emery, Bird
Thayer's. Here is "Petticoat Lane." One may assume
if he pleases that the name comes from the fact that
women may buy petticoats in this street, or silks from
which to make them. Tradition may possibly reveal
another reason for the name; investigation as to
present validity being something with which visitors
may pass a pleasant hour or so.

The jewelry district, retail as well as wholesale,
is between Tenth and Twelfth on Walnut st., with a
diamond shop on Petticoat Lane. Specialty shops are
found upstairs along Petticoat Lane ; but some of the
most uuique and interesting, particularly those for
children's wear, are upstairs on Grand ave.

Visitors are especially urged to notice Grand ave.
for this street represents one of the "visions" of city
planners of a generation ago. It was looked on as a
luxury when first widened and paved, because it was
outside the business area. Now it is becoming a most
important business street. Grand ave. is especially
noted now because of the new Federal Reserve Bank
building at Tenth St., the highest building in the city.
Across from it, on the northwest corner of Tenth
and Grand, is the R. A. Long building, named for the
lumberman. Mr. Long has headquarters here for two
or three dozen of his companies, including the com-
pany that operates his home farm, Longview, a two
million dollar enterprise. One of his minor com-
panies is a floral distributing concern that takes the
product of his Longview greenhouses.

The Week's Meetings and Exhibitions

Aug. 8 to 11. — Canadian Florists and Gardeners Asso-
ciation ; annual meeting at Windsor Hotel, Mon-
treal, Can.

Statistics at the close of July proved the general
level of the cost of living during the month of June
was still 66.6 per cent above the pre-war figures of
1914. At the peak of high prices in June 1920. the
level was 116.5 per cent above pre-war figures. Today
food leads in the price decline, but furniture is high-
est above normal, while housing is 60.9 per cent above
the 1914 figures ; clothing 72.3 ; fuel and oil, 74.4, and
miscellaneous articles, 101.5.

As a result of the conference on Tuesday, Aug. 1,
of both the employers and employees who meet to con-
sider President Harding's plans for a settlement, the
breach appears to have grown wider rather than to
have shown any indication of being closed up. As we go
to press the indications are for a fight to a finish with
the railroads having the advantage. Still it is pos-
sible the strike situation itself may change at any
moment.

The thought appears to be prevalent in Washing-
ton that if the railroad strike could be settled the
miners would go to work. Just what is behind this
in the way of evidence we cannot understand for the
reason that the miners went out independently twelve
weeks ahead of the railroad men, and to date seem
well able to maintain their position without assist-
ance from the railroad men or other sources. Mean-
while, the situation as to coal, particularly, is get-
ting more and more serious, and even were the miners
to resume work this week, Secretary Hoover says it
will take three months to get supplies back to normal,
even under the drastic regulations for coal distribu-
tion, which was predicted last week and are now in
force.

Copious rains continue in the vicinity of New York
and the weather averages very cool. Prom previous
experience one could almost safely predict that Au-
gust will also be a cool, wet month. Yet one cannot
always safely predict the weather. The very men
entrusted with that job quite often err from one day
to another.

Has any observer noticed one redeeming feature — -
apparently brought about by this same wetness1 — that
is, the comparative freedom from insect pests in the
garden? With us, it's true that culinary Peas and
Sweet Peas were both failures, but all other garden
crops have done far better than the average and it
has been no trouble worth mentioning to keep down
the pests which trouble practically all garden vege-
tables in a dry Summer. Would like to know.

An Oversight?

Last week our Boston correspondent commented
on the gratifying absence, or at least the scarcity, of
brown tail and gypsy moths in that section. In this
week's issue we find more than one report to the
effect that the common garden pests have been far
less troublesome this year than usual. How come all
this? Can it be an effect of prohibition? Or should
not the F. H. B. distribute these reports of this happy
condition as an appendix to HB — 152 its "Record of
the Endorsement of Quarantine 37?"'

A Welcome to Kansas City

From the Kansas City Florists Club

Welcome, members of the S. A. F. and O. H. and
your friends and relatives, welcome to Kansas City,
the city of beautiful homes with well-planted, well-
kept grounds ; the city of beauty spots and breathing
spaces ; the young city of brisk business progress, the
city that marks the heart of a territory that Nature
has blessed in its topography, soil, rainfall and sun-
shine, where, because wealth depends on a bountiful
supply of products of the soil, the public delight in
flowers and shrubs and trees is heartfelt and natural.

The Kansas City Florists Club, alert, eager, has
striven to prepare an entertainment measuring up to
the big opportunity given it to receive the florists and
ornamental horticulturists of the continent. In doing
this it has planned so that visitors may definitely bene-
fit from every moment of the convention and yet
simultaneously have a thoroughly enjoyable time and
also get a chance to see much of the city.

May you come by hundreds and thousands — the
more the merrier and the warmer the welcome. May
you live long to often thrill at the recollection of the
splendid time spent in Kansas City in 1922 ; and may
you bountifully prosper with the help of the good
that you will get here.

"Why" A Convention Number?

There are so many reasons "Why" that it is hard to
deal with the subject in limited space.

A few years ago (1S97) the membership of the
S. A. F. and O. H. stood at 700; then it gradually
came up to 1000 (in 1911) ; progressed upward to
1916, when it reached 1800; after which (about 1919)
it climbed rapidly until today it is up to nearly 4000.

This great development of interest in the Society
has been brought about largely through the continu-
ous creation of additional city, State and even na-
tional florists' bodies ; through the development of the
national flower shows, the publicity campaign, and
above all, because of the progressive work being per-
formed by the national society itself through its able
officials — of the past decade particularly.

Surely, these achievements have been stimulated
by the trade press which reaches every city, town,
hamlet and out of the way corner of the country.
And so as to the "Why a Convention Number?" The
Exchange, speaking for itself, would not attempt
these issues were its publishers not satisfied that its
convention numbers have done their full part in as-
sisting to bring about the conditions of which all flo-
rists have such great reason to be proud.

Undoubtedly, these issues stimulate interest in the
annual convention ; serve to increase attendance ;
more than that, serve to key up the entire florist body
to a realization of the great and increased benefits
enjoyed by the trade at large in being represented in-
dustrially and nationally by so powerful a body as
the Society of American Florists and Ornamental
Horticulturists.

In its field the S. A. F. and O. H. leads the world.

And our convention numbers are for the purpose
of making this known to the world.

In Which We Express Pride, Gratification and
Thanks

We are, we frankly admit, not a little proud of
this, our Convention issue. We are proud of all of it,
from cover to cover ; but, more especially of the fif-
teen special advertising pages of. welcome and greet-
ing for which representative florists of Kansas City,
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Balti-
more respectively, are responsible.

But our pride is of the sort that exists only to be
shared. Gladly do we acknowledge the spirit and co-
operation that make it possible. For, after all, we
have but provided the opportunity, the medium of
which the progressive tradesmen of the six cities
mentioned have taken advantage. And why? Two
reasons suggest themselves.

First, they have embraced the opportunity because
they have found that this sort of special advertising,
on a special occasion, in a special way, is advantage-
ous and distinctly profitable in a purely business way.
Second, they realize that it provides a unique, con-
crete means of paying tribute to the S. A. F. and O. H.
The advertisement, is the tongue of modern business;
it is fitting, therefore, that successful business men,
in expressing their regard for a great institution to
which they owe much, should employ that language.

In short, these special pages pay ; but also they
recognize and acknowledge the importance, the sig-
nificance, the great usefulness and inspiration of the
Society. We see them, then, as a happy combination
of the utilitarian and the esthetic; of the practical
and the sentimental. And in their steady increase
from seven pages in 1920, when the idea was con-

ceived, to ten last year, and to 15 this, we see con-
vincing proof of their generous appreciation and thor-
ough justification; and a favoring augury of their
continued growth, usefulness and utilization in years
to come.

Misrepresentation? Yes, But by Whom?

The most recent emanation from the F. H. B. on
the subject of Qu. 37 is HB— 152, a 42-page multi-
graphed document entitled "Record of the Endorse-
ment of Quarantine 37." This is being widely dis-
tributed with a letter signed by Chairman C. L. M'ar-
latt which states that the endorsement "has come to
the Department largely as a reaction from a rather
widespread campaign to misrepresent this quaran-
tine." The introduction to the document similarly
opens with the following paragraph :

"The critics of Plant Quarantine 37 have given
wide publicity to their opposition. The public support
of Quarantine 37 normally does not appear in evi-
dence, but the misrepresentation which characterized
much of the opposition has stimulated a very em-
phatic endorsement of the quarantine. It seems only
just that this countrywide support should be a mat-
ter of record."

The record itself consists of extracts from state-
ments in favor of the quarantine made at or sent to
the May 15 conference; lists of names of individuals
who, it is claimed, have endorsed it during and pre-
vious to 1922 ; and the favorable but colorless report
of the "special advisory committee" chosen by Secre-
tary Wallace (?) at the opening of the conference*
In regard to this committee, by the way, it should
not be forgotten that one of the three members — the
late Prof. Whitten — was a horticulturist from Cali-
fornia, the State in which there- has always been
probably the nearest approach to unanimous approval
of Qu. 37; a second member, Dean Woods, has been
characterized, as fundamentally an entomologist; the
third member, M. N. Cashman, was at the time presi-
dent of the American Association of Nurserymen, the
executive committee of which two days before the
conference had adopted a resolution approving the
quarantine. It might be asked what but a favorable
report could be expected from such a committee; it
might be asked, also, whether the complete ignoring
of President S. S. Pennock, of the S. A. F. and O. H.—
which certainly merited representation on the com-
mittee no less than the A. A. N. (except for the fact
that it was known to not approve of existing condi-
tions)— was merely an unfortunate oversight on the
secretary's part, or an intentional slur on the part of
his advisers?

A rough analysis of these testimonials is not with-
out interest. Of the statements purporting to give
the endorsement of States and State officials, five are
from horticultural officials, ten from entomologists
and pathologists, five from plant inspectors, and eight
from spokesmen of farm, forestry and fruit growing
interests. Of the endorsements by organizations four
are from nurserymen, six from agricultural or fruit
growing bodies, two from State quarantine boards,
three from State horticultural societies and one from
a florist club (Oregon). Of the individuals listed,
whose communications are not given, 81 are nursery-
men, 43 are undefined (but probably also mostly nur-
serymen) ; 11 are florist-growers, five are Rose grow-
ers, three are seedsmen, and seven are miscellaneous.
Incidentally there are not a few duplications, each
communication received from a body or individual
being, apparently, counted as a separate endorsement.
******

A valiant effort has thus been made to capitalize
every scrap of opinion that could possibly be inter-
preted as favorable — included some that most minds
would not so interpret. John Kingdon Smith— of all
people — is listed as a supporter of the quarantine!
This on the strength of an article in The Exchange
in which, in the course of saying what the F. H. B.
should do, he remarked that the failure to discover
any injurious insect pests in plant importations of
recent years could probably be attributed to the
Board's activities !

There is included a wholly non-committal letter
from "Sarah Turnure, chairman, Garden Club of
America," who, as a matter of fact, is so far from
being in favor of Qu. 37, as to be a member of the
Committee on Horticultural Quarantine, as represen-
tative of the Garden Club of America which has re-
peatedly and officially declared its opposition to the
present administration of the quarantine !

Pretty shaky "endorsement," this, suggesting how
much the Board must feel the need of support, and
serving also to question the accuracy, value and
weight of the document as a whole.

No acknowledgment is made of the well-known fact
that hundreds of protests against the F. H. B. atti-
tude have been received by the Board itself, the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, and even members of Congress
and the President — with one exception: the official
protesting statement of the S. A. F. and O. H., in the
form of a signed report of its Tariff and Legislation

The Florists' Exchange

355

Committee, read by its chairman at the May 15 con-
ference, is brought in aud brusquely thrust aside with
the following attempt to belittle and deny its impor-
tance : "With respect to the florists of the country,
Mr. J. A. McHutchisou, of New York, an importer
and broker, representing that he spoke for this group,
objected to Quarantine 37, etc."

What right has the F. H. B. to thus insinuate that
Mr. McHutchison did not represent the florists, when
he appeared as chairman of an official standing com-
mittee of their recognized national organization, and
presented a formal report signed by Messrs. Eisele,
Leonard Vaughan, F. R. Pierson, Miller, Michell,
W. F. Gude and himself?

To anyone who has observed the attitude, policies
and actions of the F. H. B., these three years past,
this latest exhibition of its methods occasions no sur-
prise. But it is impossible not to experience a cer-
tain amount of chagrin, disappointment and resent-
ment at this spectacle of an important, potentially
useful body in the great U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, stooping to the use of such petty, unworthy,
tools as prejudice, slurs and the very misrepresenta-
tion of which it unwarrantably accuses others.

Unwarrantably? Tes. For the critics of Qu. 37
have not given wide publicity to their opposition, as
the F. H. B. knows very well. The Board, on the con-
trary, has issued no less than eight official documents
since Feb. 1921, each of them taking every possible
opportunity to discredit, ridicule and belittle the
arguments and the motives of those who presume to
criticize it. These documents and numerous news-
releases have heen given countrywide distribution
through the machinery and influence of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture. Even the National Geographic
Magazine has been employed to spread self-praising
propaganda of the Board in the form of an article by
its chairman.

Again, the campaign of the opposition has not had
as its object "to misrepresent this quarantine." We
challenge the F. H. B. to produce proof to sustain
its charge. There has been no attempt to misrepre-
sent the quarantine (there is no need to; it's
bad enough as it is) : there has been no denial of the
dangerous nature of insects and diseases, of the
wisdom of the Act of 1912, of the righteousness of its
purpose, of the value of specific quarantines as emer-
gency measures under certain conditions. The criti-
cism has been and is directed, rather, at the nature,
results, dangers and unfairness of the interpretation
and administration of a single quarantine under the
Act, by the present F. H. B. It condemns, not the
objective aimed at, but the methods employed ; the
adoption of a selfish, narrow minded, reactionary
exclusion policy instead of a progressive, precau-
tionary system of inspection and certification that
will promote international amity and trade, amateur
and commercial initiative, and the enthusiastic de-
velopment of world horticulture.

******

Yes, there has been too much misrepresentation.
There is reason to believe that so long as the F. H. B.
continues in its present personnel, this will continue.
But we ask seriously, deliberately, is it not the F. H.

B. rather than its critics and opponents, that is re-
sponsible? Out of its own mouth, we firmly believe,
is the Board condemned of that of which it does not
hesitate to accuse the public of which it is the servant.

38th Annual Convention, Kansas City, August
15, 16 and 17

Information furnished by JOHN YOUNG, Secretary,
4$ West 18th Street, New York

The secretary is now in Kansas City, and will re-
main until after the convention. He should be ad-
dressed on all matters pertaining to the convention,
at the Muehlebach Hotel, where his temporary office
is maintained.

Addition to Official Program

A little function, which should have been noted in
the Official Program, is scheduled for the session of
the first day. Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 15. The Indi-
ana State Florists Association, and the National
Flower Show Committee will, at this session, as a
token of their appreciation of the interest in the In-
dianapolis National Flower Show displayed by Thomas
Roland, Nahunt, Mass., through his wonderful ex-
hibit of Acacias at the show, assembled there at con-
siderable expense and risk, tender to that gentleman
a testimonial which shall at least insure that a record
of his unselfish devotion to a part of the work of the
society dear to all its members will go down in the
annals of the society, perhaps to stimulate in others
the desire to render similar service when occasion re-
quires.

Bogus Representative Again Active

Warning to New Jersey Subscribers in Particular

Report has reached the office of The Exchange
that a fraudulent subscription solicitor appeared in
Morristown, N. J., last week, giving the name of Thos.
Doverty. H. C. Holmes, a subscriber to this paper
for the past 20 years, was the intended victim.

The culprit, without any evidence whatsoever of
authority, represented himself as a subscription col-
lector for The Florists Exchange. He made a bogus
offer of a premium coupled with two years' subscrip-
tion, and Mr. Holmes, unfortunately off his guard for
the moment, wrote a cheque for $5, made payable to
this paper.

When the collector was questioned as to why he
was not able to furnish a receipt on our official blank,
he replied, in a vague way, that collecting subscrip-
tions was only a sideline with him, intending to con-
vey, apparently, that in his sidelines he was not
equipped with proper credentials and necessary re-
ceipt forms.

After he had departed from the store, Mr. Holmes'
suspicions were increased by a telephone from a local

hotel where Doverty had attempted to pass the
cheque. Mr. Holmes thereupon telephoned his bank,
stopping the cheque, and found that Doverty had al-
ready appeared there with a request that the cheque
be endorsed over to him. The bank authorities, of
course, refused to acquiesce, and Doverty went on his
way.

Our readers are cautioned against this man, and
moreover should he lie seen again, we would appre-
ciate quick advice so that we may take steps for his
arrest. It is a travesty on the shrewdness that most
of us believe we possess, when a man without any
credentials whatsoever finds it so easy to victimize.
Nevertheless, these unguarded moments will occur,
and thus crime is helped rather than checked.

Chairmen of the Committees of the Kansas City Florists Club, for the S. A. F. Convention, August 15, 16 and 17.

Joseph D. Fitts

For many years Superintendent of Parks of Provi-
dence, R. I., Joseph D. Fitts, well known among horti-
culturists, nurserymen and landscape architects
throughout the country, died July 18, at the home of
his son, 166 Reynolds ave., after a brief illness. He
was born in Seekouk, Mass., in 1S50, and was made
superintendent in 1891. He retained the position un-
til 1909, when he resigned to enter business for him-
self, and was succeeded by the late Frederick C.
Green. Mr. Fitts took a large estate in Gloucester
near Harmony village, where he raised fruits and
berries. He abandoned this work about five years
ago and until his death devoted his time to expert
consultation on pomology. He was an active member
of the Rhode Island Horticultural Society for many
years.

He is survived by his widow and two sons.

James E. Matthewson

Wisconsin florists are mourning the death of
James E. Matthewson, the popular florist of Sheboy-
gan, who was killed Tuesday in a motor car accident.
A friend of his was driving him to Elkhart Lake, a
Summer resort, when the car turned completely over,
pinning Mr. Matthewson beneath the rear right wheel
and breaking his neck.

Mr. Matthewson was one of the most progressive
florists in the United States and was noted for the
large number of successful experiments he made in
the growing of choice flowers. He was a life member
of the American Society of Florists. In 1919 he was
honored by the florists of Wisconsin when they elected
him president of their State association.

Mr. Matthewson was born in Arbroath, Forfar-
shire. Scotland, Nov. 21, 1864. He came to America
in 1891. At Madison, N. J., he married Miss Mary
Allen Peebles, who was also a native of Scotland.
He is survived by his widow, two sons, Edwin L. and
James H., and a daughter, Winifred.

Directly after his marriage Mr. Matthewson came
to Wisconsin. He made his home in Milwaukee and
entered the employ of Currie Bros., the pioneer flo-
rists. In 1894 he moved to Sheboygan and leased the
Schucht greenhouses near the Country Club. He con-
ducted a constantly widening business there, until he
bought the property he occupied at the time of his
death. It is one of the most modern plants of the
kind in the United States. It covers 25 acres, with
100.000 sq. ft. of glass. His two sons were associated
with him in business.

The high esteem in which Mr. Matthewson was-
held by his fellow citizens of Sheyboygan was amply-
demonstrated by the mayor, Herman Schuelke, who
issued the following proclamation :

"In the death of James E. Matthewson the city of
Sheyboygan loses an esteemed and honored citizen,,
a man whom we all loved and who gave to this com-
munity the best that was in him, and I deem it fit-
ting that this city and her citizens in some way show
their appreciation. Therefore, as mayor of the city of
Sheboygan, I ask that the flag be placed at half staff
on all public buildings and places of business from
10 o'clock Friday morning until after the funeral."

A large throng of friends attended the services.
The Rev. M. R. Brandt, pastor of the Congregational
Church, paid an eloquent tribute to the memory of
Mr. Matthewson, reviewing the noble qualities which
made him so sincerely beloved. The three Masonic
bodies of the city, the Elks, the Knights of Pythias,
the Rotary Club, the Eagles and the Sheyboygan
Business Men's Association were represented at the
funeral by large delegations of members.

Mr. Matthewson never forgot the old home in far-
away Scotland ; only a day or two before his untimely
death, he received a receipt from his mother, who is
80 years old, acknowledging the receipt of money he
had sent to her. J. R. W.

The Florists Exchange

Some of the Men and Women You'll Meet at Kansas City

Who have been active in preparations for the reception of the S. A. F. and O. H.

William L. Rock

William L. Rock need only be named. It may,
however, be said further, that among the Kansas City
florists he is exactly the same as in the F. T. D., of
which he is treasurer ; the S. A. F. in which he has
been prominent for years; in organizations of busi-
ness men of various lines in Kansas City. He is a
"big business man" as well as a very successful flo-
rist. He is chairman of the general committee on
arrangements for the S. A. F. and O. H. convention.

One of the pleasures anticipated by local florists
for this convention is that florists of other cities may
discover the appreciation in which Mr. Rock is held
in Kansas City by business men of many circles. He
is one of the leaders of the city as those who have
met him elsewhere might well suppose.

Samuel Murray

Samuel Murray is known nationally, as well as lo-
cally, as a genuine florist grower. Born in Brooklyn.
N. Y., at age 2 he was taken to Scotland, returning
here in 1SS0. After several years' experience in the
East, he came to Kansas City in 1889, where he has
established a fine business. His greenhouses always
have unusual features in flowers and plants which
only the skilled and the initiate can appreciate. Flow-
ers are his life : and he represents an unusual com-
bination of devoted flower grower and grower for
commercial. purposes, combining the business with the
pleasure. Mr. Murray has sometimes stated that his
growing houses are not show places, that he makes
every inch earn its way.

But flowers do not occupy all his thoughts, for he
has, as an instance of his goodfellowship, been presi-
dent of the St. Andrew's Society of this city, an im-
portant organization here, to which he gives much
time — this devotion securing for the society its stand-
ing. Mr. Murray is one of the deep thinkers of the
Kansas City group who finds much more in life than
merely business, and who therefore gives to the world
more than flowers.

Mr. Murray is this year the vice-president of the
S. A. F. and O. H. and his portrait appears this week
ou the page with the other principal ofiicers of the
Society.

W. J. Barnes

W. J. Barnes, chairman of the executive committee
of the local club for the S. A. F. and 0. H. convention,
is one of the older florists here. He has been a Kan-
sas Citian since 1881.

Born in England, he received his 'bent toward flow-
ers in Toronto, where he spent much of his youthful
time "hanging around" greenhouses. He bought an
interest in a floral establishment at Buffalo, later
coming to Kansas City. In 1890 he bought ground
and built his first houses at his present location in
Kansas City, 38th and Euclid. He was torn down
the houses and built new ones three times since. He
was one of the first, perhaps the first, of the Western
florists to build concrete benches. It is a matter of
gratification to him that many of the customers now
on his books were his customers the first years he
was in business, While he has 25,000ft. of glass, he
buys 90 per cent of the cut flowers and 50 per cent
of the plants he sells. He is a persistent and steady
advertiser, locally and nationally, for his retail busi-
ness. Be is a life member of the S. A. F. and O H.
a member of the F. T. IX, an -active member of the
Missouri and the Kansas Florists Associations, and
one of the group of hard workers in the Kansas City
Florists Club. Two sons, Edwin J. and Herbert B.,
■are active in the business, the former in the store,
and the latter in the growing.

Alpha Elberfield

Alpha Elberfield, chairman of the publicity com-
mittee for the S. A. F. and O. H. convention, started
in the flower business when he was 15 years of age.
He sold flowers from a basket, peddling them around
the city. His cash register was a cigar box.

His next step was to a tiny room in the north end
of the city where he brought to light his motto,
"We strive to please." It is this service on which
■the Alpha Floral Co. has built its business, in Mr
Elberfield's opinion. Whether Mr. Elberfield knows
or not to whom a corsage or a bouquet is going, if he
happens to see that a change will improve Its ap-
pearance, he does not hesitate to alter the arrange-
ment.

As soon as Mr. Elberfield had a small capital, he
began advertising; it was only in a small way, be-
cause he didn't have much, but because he believed
in the power of this publicity, he immediately began
its use. Newspaper advertising, billboard displays,
street car advertisements, catalogs, direct mail ad-
vertising— all have been employed in the Alpha Co.'s

effort to get business. Mr. Elberfield is as strong an
advocate of advertising today as he was when he
started business years ago. He undoubtedly has been
correct in his beliefs concerning its power, for he
has reaped results from it.

"Bob" Fields

"Bob Fields" is chairman of the Automobile Com-
mittee for the S. A. F. and 0. H. for several reasons.
One is that he is a booster for motor tours and knows
the roads. The reason be may give, also, is that he is
a booster for Kansas City. Kan., and wants tourists
to visit the new free camping park this city has pre-
pared. Still a third reason : he is a hard worker, and
a good fellow ; sufficiently indicated in the fact that
everybody knows him as "Bob."

"Bob" was sent over the country a few years ago,
to "learn the merchandising angles of the business,"
as his father puts it. He came back, and was put in
charge. His mother, the founder of the business, died
recently.

Fields is chiefly known in Kansas City, and indeed
in other parts, for its "Guaranteed" flowers. Mr.

Wm. L. Rock, General Chairman of
Local Committees

Fields originated a guarantee bond, which is enclosed
with orders, and on which an astonishing amount of
benefit has accrued. The company, heretofore grow-
ing in small houses in town, has in the past two
years been producing practically all its flowers on a
10-acre farm nearby.

L. R. Bohannon

L. R. Bohannon, president of the Kansas City
Wholesale Cut Flower Co., is chairman of the pro-
gram committee for the national convention. Mr. Bo-
hannon is treasurer of the Kansas City Florists Club.
In referring to the convention program, Mr. Bohannon
reports that it is ready to go to press, and that whole-
salers and retailers in Kansas City and in other cities
responded readily to requests that they take space.

Mr. Bohannon began in the flower business twenty-
five years ago as delivery boy. He never has worked
in any establishment other than a flower store. The
retailing and not the growing of flowers was the
phase of the industry in which he engaged. With the
failure of N. S. Griffith, who owned three flower stores
in Kansas City, Mr. Bohannon who was then working
for Mr. Griffith as salesman, bought the Griffith store
which was located in the Midland Hotel at 711 Wal-
nut. Mr. Bohannon did business in the location for
three years, continuing under the name of the Mid-
land Florist.

He then sold out and went to Chicago, where he
was successively connected with the C. A. Samuelson,
the Fleischmann and the George Whithold flower
stores. Eventually, he felt the urge of again start-
ing in business for himself, and so established the
Bohannon Floral Co., a Chicago retail shop. Though
located in Chicago, he had an interest in T. J. Noll
& Co., wholesale flower dealers of Kansas City. When
this partnership was dissolved, Mr. Bohannon took
oyer the management of the company, now under the
name of the Kansas City Wholesale Cut Flower Co.,
and Mr. Noll again entered into the wholesale flower
trade using his own name, under which his company
is still operated.

Miss Mary Hayden

Miss Mary Hayden heads the committee which is i
arranging for the ladies' bowling team at the con-
vention. Miss Hayden is arranging for prizes, and
has planned when the events are to be scheduled and
so on. She is making entries to the contests.

Miss Hayden is manager at the Samuel Murray
florist shop. She has been with the Murray Co. for
24 years. Miss Hayden is an active worker in the
local florist society and has headed the publicity com-
mittee of the club since its organization.

Mrs. T. A. Moseley

A childhood love for flowers which continued and a
persistent desire to handle flowers had much to do
with Mrs. T. A. Moseley's decision to become a florist.
Mrs. Moseley, who is a well-known business woman
in Kansas City, Kans., has been a florist there for
20 years. She is chairman of the convention on en-
tertainment of ladies at the S. A. F. and O. H. conven-
tion.

Mrs. Moseley was originally a .Virginian, but be-
cause she has made her home in the West most of her
life, and makes her living there as well, it is that part
of the country which holds high place in her affection.

Mrs. Moseley's shop is interesting from the fact
that ever since it was established one of the Moseley
daughters has helped conduct the business. Mr. Mose-
ley is also associated with the flower shop. Katharine
Moseley Beaman, the youngest daughter, is now in
the shop with her parents. She is a talented con-
tralto and will sing at the president's reception at the
Hotel Muehlebach during the convention.

Mrs. Moseley believes that it is necessary to keep
up with the times and to learn all that is new in the
business. Following this principle, each Summer she
goes to a large city and works in large shops several
hours each day on new arrangements of flowers, com-
ing back to Kansas City, Kans., with new ideas to
give to her customers. Whenever the Moseley flower
store does an unusually elaborate house or church
decoration, the other florists in the city are asked to
look at it and take any suggestions which will help
them. So, when other florists design effective pieces,
the Moseley shop expects and receives the same cour-
tesy.

Mrs. Moseley is a member of the Chamber of Com-
merce and the Women's Commercial Club. She is an
active charitable worker and is prominent in other
organization activities.

William Wade

William Wade, of the William P. Rock Flower
Co., is chairman of the transportation committee for
the National Florists' convention. Mr. Wade has
about completed arrangements with the express com-
panies for shipping of exhibits. Wade's work is that
of getting the exhibitors' supplies here safely. He
will see that they are taken care of and brought to
Convention Hall in good shape.

JNli-. Wade was secretary of the local florist's club
until work out of town made it impossible for him
to take care of his duties properly.

Mr. Wade has served with large wholesalers and
supply houses here and, as his appointment to assist
exhibitors might imply, is an expert in a shipping
department, and in traffic matters. His connection
with the William L. Rock Flower Co., involves con-
siderable traveling in the territory.
Glenn K. Parker

Glenn K. Parker is manager of the Stuppy Supply
Co., Kansas City, and secretary of the Kansas City
Florists Club. He has nothing to do as secretary,
except to carry out the ideas which he and others
suggest for promoting appreciation of flowers, and
securing cooperation of florists. He does the work
of two men, half a dozen committees and the head of
a family every day, and always is calm and cheerful.
Any job that looks hard can safely be left to him,
for he will do it in a big way, and talk about it in a H
small way as though it were nothing. Pie has been
managing retail and wholesale flower establishments
around Kansas City for several years. He has, ihci- ' i
dentally, always been an officer, much of the time
president, of the local florists' organizations.

He is chairman of the Invitation Committee for I
the convention.

Miller E. Carter

Miller E. Carter, store manager of the William L.
Rock Flower Co., is another of the active convention
workers. Mr. Carter is working on the entertainment,
sports and printing committees. He is vice-president
of the local florist club and F. T. D. representative of
district number eleven. Mr. Carter has been with
Rock's for 25 years, and has been store manager for
15 years. He has worked on the publicity committee
of the local society, and has been chairman of the
entertainment committee.

Mr. Carter stands for a real development in flo
rists' service in Kansas City, and is to be credited
with very much of the publicity which flowers re-
ceive in news columns. Reporters have a habit of

going to him for data on flowers, for he gives it in
language that the public understands, and selects
subjects of timely interest.

He is noted for the value he gets out of the store
window which, in the case of the Rock store, may be
computed in big figures. He knows how to make a
window pay real dividends. And— he's a bowler, let
visitors understand.

T. J. Noll

T. J. Noll, president and manager of the T. J.
Noll Floral Company (wholesale) and president
of the Kansas City Florists Club, is chair-
man of the President's Reception and Ball Committee
for the national convention. The reception and ball
are to be held at the Hotel Muehlebach. Mr. Noll is
also working on other committees in connection with
the convention.

He has just returned from the Texas State Florists'
•convention where he was sent to invite Texas to the
national convention. He reports that a host of South-
-erners are coming up to take part in the event. "The
exhibits at the Texas convention were beautiful."
says Mr. Noll. All these exhibitors are to come to
Kansas City and even better displays are to be ex-
pected.

Roy F. Millis

Floor manager and buyer for the Alpha Floral Co.
He has been with this firm for ten years, and has be-
come cemented as a strong, upbuilding factor therein.
He is congenial, pleasant, and at all times keenly ob-
servant of the needs of a successful business to make
it more prosperous. Mr. Millis has put in a great
many systems and has enacted many policies that
have met with the approval of the president of his
company. He is a man of genius, and has met with
favor wherever he has been. He is chairman of the
Information Committee for tie S. A. F. Convention.

Arthur Newell

To watch Arthur Newell as he skillfully makes up
a floral piece, or as he accurately superintends those
which his assistants compose, one cannot picture him
in any place other than an attractive, well kept floral
shop such as he owns. Yet while he deftly wires
wooden stems to Gladioli and places the flowers at
"strategic points" in the design on which he is work-
ing, he unfolds some picturesque experiences.

Arthur Newell came from England. His father was
a florist there, and Arthur received his first connec-
tions with flowers when he pulled weeds out of the
English soil in which his father grew flowers. He
didn't have much love for flowers in those weed pull-
ing days, especially when the fishing was good in
nearby streams. When as a young man he left Eng-
land for Canada he didn't ever expect to be a florist.
He came to Canada to fight Indians principally, but
he found he had to work even in the new world. His
next connection was with an English syndicate min-
ing and milling company. The young man in America
went as far from the florist business as one might
imagine. He started learning the commissary busi-
ness, and went from one camp to another with sup-
plies. In those days of adventure a guard traveled
together, all armed against the uprisings of Indians
and halfbreeds. The camp was located about a hun-
dred and fifty miles from a railroad.

From Canada, young Newell came down to the
United States. After a brief stay in New York, the
, West appealed to his imagination, and he came to
Missouri, ready after a long absence to return to the
business of selling flowers. It meant working up from
the bottom, hanging around and watching experienced
workers make up a floral piece, asking for an oppor-
tunity to try his hand at making up a bouquet or a
basket of flowers.

Outside of business hours, Mr. Newell played tennis.
Managing a flower shop, however, doesn't allow
very much time for athletics, says Mr. Newell, so he
has decided to let his son, Walter, represent the fam-
ily tennis prowess. He has done it quite well, too
and is known as the tennis bet of the Kansas City
Athletic Club. Wherever local tennis champions are
mentioned, Walter Newell' s name is among them.
Walter Newell is not in the florist business.

Sports and Entertainments

Bowling Plans

Bowling and golf will be the chief tournament
events during the convention.

The bowling tournaments will be held at Harvey's
Recreation, the newest alleys in the city, at Twelfth
and Wyandotte sts., in the same block as Conven-
tion Hall, and only a block from the headquarters.
There will be both team play and individual con-
tests.

The chief prize for team play will be a handsome
silver loving cup put up by the Kansas City Florists
Club, to be held for one year by the winning team.
The team winning it three times in succession becomes
its permanent owner. This award is intended to es-
tablish bowling tournaments among florist club
teams as a permanent and definite feature of annual
conventions; and to add a fresh element of rivalry
to such contests. The second prize in the team play
will consist of separate gifts for the individual team
members, while the third prize will be a single trophy
for the team.

A large number of prizes for individual bowlers
has been accumulated by John Klaus, chairman of
the committee and it is hoped and expected that
many will participate in the play. But to insure
general distribution of the prizes, some of them
are to be given for other than good bowling exhibi-
tions, such as bobby prizes, etc.

The bowling contests for ladies will be held in the
same alleys, which have a raised platform for specta-
tors, accommodating around 200. An enthusiastic gal-
lery is, therefore, pretty sure to be on hand to watch
both the ladies' and the men's matches. Refresh-
ments for the contestants will be served during the
tournament — but further announcements with refer-
ence to incidental arrangements must come later.

A Golf Tournament

Preparations for Golfers

William L. Rock is personally making arrange-
ments for the golf tournament, which promises many
entries and for which Mr. Klaus has prepared suit-
able prizes.

The site will be the Meadow Lake Golf and Coun-
try Club, and the time will be sufficiently early so
as not to conflict with any of the business sessions
of the convention.

"We'll get 'em out to the clubhouse for breakfast
at 6.30," said Mr. Rock, and in answer to an objec-
tion— raised obviously by a non-golfer — he continued,
"A golfer wants to play whenever there is the chance
to play. He rises betimes, even if it is at daybreak;
and in such case he can give any number of reasons
for getting out early, besides the primary one of play-
ing golf with the sun rising. Don't worry ! They'll
like it."

As a matter of fact, the chance to have breakfast
at Meadow Lake clubhouse — perhaps on its wide, hos-
pitable veranda — would alone be sufficient inducement
to take many visitors out as early as necessary. The
clubhouse stands on high ground, whence the rolling
country for 20 miles to the south and west may be
seen, characteristic of the best scenery of Missouri.

So, golfers, attention '.

Those wishing alarm clocks placed in their rooms,
in order that they may awaken betimes for the matins
on the links, should notify William L. Rock.

Students of Horticulture Welcome

A special invitation is extended to professors, heads
of departments, and students of colleges and universi-
ties having departments of floriculture, ornamental
horticulture and landscape gardening, to attend the
S. A. F. and O. H. convention. Practical arrange-
ments are being made to insure such visitors the
greatest possible benefit from their trip to Kansas
City. A special committee of the Kansas City Flo-
rists Club has been appointed to receive and attend
upon them.

E. R. Chandler, graduate of the department of flori-
culture of the University of Illinois, will personally
care for the floricultural representatives and George
A. Chandler, graduate of the landscape department
of the same university, will perform the same service
for professors and students in that field.

The college men will be especially welcome at
this convention because the instructors can help pro-
mote the art of the practical growers by their obser-
vation of exhibits and by participating in the ses-
sions; while the students can obtain through the ex-
hibits and sessions contact with the actual manifes-
tations of the sciences they are studying. They can
see and hear how the men who make their living at
the business are treating the theoretical ideas. They
are also given excellent opportunity to observe the
actual plantings here, of which there is a notable
number. Two large districts, where landscaping and
planting have been leading features, include many
specimens of both familiar and unfamiliar shrubs
and trees. T^e nurseries, too, are convenient for
visiting, and many large greenhouses are within easy
reach.

Information Facilities
Roy F. Millis, chairman of the Information Com-
mittee, can shut his eyes and describe minutely every
greenhouse and outside growing establishment within
a radius of 30 miles of Kansas City. He has had to
have this information in his business during the past
ten years, while he has been buyer for the Alpha

Floral Co., having visited each place many times,
"Bob" Fields, florist, of Kansas City, Kan., knows
that side of the river as well as the Missouri side;
and since he is chairman of the automobile committee,
the persons who seek information will be sure to get
rides to the places they want to see. Russell Parker,
of Longview, will be particularly useful for telling'
about the conditions in Jackson County and adjoin-
ing territory in Missouri.

AH this is mentioned to show that the information
committee will know what it is talking about. Visi-
tors having any question whatever on their minds,
are urged to get rid of it at once, by shooting it at
the committee. There will be plenty of stations and
badges whereby its members may be recognized.

Identification Helps

Buttons, on which their names will be written, are
being provided for all visitors by the local committee,
of which L. R. Bohannon is chairman.

This is an important feature, for it is desired that
this convention shall be notable for the number of
real acquaintances and friends made.

The buttons will be large enough so that the name
may be easily read, yet not obtrusive; they are sub-
stantial, can be easily attached to the coat or dress,
and the face of the button will always be forward,
where the name can be seen.

It is suggested that a glance at the button shall be
taken as a matter of course, however well two per-
sons meeting may know each other. This habit for
those already well acquainted will serve to refresh
the memory as to initials. For those but recently in-
troduced, it will insure accuracy and facilitate im-
mediate introductions to others.

The Work of the C. of C.

Local florists are appreciative of the services ren-
dered the S. A. F. and O. H. by the Convention Bu-
reau of the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce.
Frank M. Robinson, manager of the Bureau, has
fully made good his promises connected with the
original invitation, extended through him, to hold the
convention in Kansas City. The Bureau has spent
generously for literature and printing, and its officers
have given liberally of their time in helping along the
publicity and other local arrangements. Mr. Robin-
son, himself, suffered a broken leg last Spring, shortly
after the plans for the convention were undertaken;
he has continued to promote the work through his
asistant, W. M. Symon, publicity manager for the
Bureau, who has attended committee meetings, pre-
pared a vast amount of material for trade publica-
tions not represented in Kansas City, and circulated
news items about the convention to daily and weekly
newspapers.

Convention visitors are invited to visit the Chamber
of Commerce and inspect the mechanics of the or-
ganization whereby this sort of service is given to all
conventions held in the "heart of America."

Free Parking

The latest arrangement for the motor tourists who
come to the convention is free parking space opposite
Convention Hall. Through this facility, visitors hav-
ing their own cars can conveniently get them at any
time. There is also an added element of convenience
for those who may use the free camping grounds, in
Penn Valley Park, Kansas City, Mo., and in Kansas
City, Kan. These may bring their cars to the con- I
vention each day. The parking space will also ac-
commodate the cars of local florists and others kept
in reserve for the accommodation of visitors.

"To the Ladies!"

Thursday afternoon has also been set aside for an
entertainment prepared exclusively for the ladies.

Mrs. T. A. Moseley has charge of the arrangements,
and it can be said that she has secured for the musi-
cale numbers of the program the very best this terri-
tory affords. Details cannot yet be announced, but
the guarantee is everything will be of the best.

The "Big Time" Thursday Evening

The "big time" on the entertainment program will
be Thursday evening, the last day ; the scene will be
Electric Park. This has been known for more than
30 years as the Coney Island of Kansas City. It may
be that Coney Island itself has by now departed from
the pattern it set a generation ago, so that Electric
Park may no longer resemble it. However, the park
is a true amusement resort, equipped with any num-
ber of joy-givieg devices and elaborate programs of
entertainment. The guests will be invited to enjoy
all the general features of the, park on that night;
and a special program has been arranged as a com-
pliment to them. This will include a stage perform-
ance, music, and spectacular features with refresh-
ments served during the evening. It will start at
8 o'clock, following an afternoon devoted to a motor
tour of the city.

What the Official Program Tells Us

(Concluded from page 319)
It is a much needed precaution and we hope to see
it go through with flying colors. A large sum of money
held in hand without any evident intention of the
purpose for which it is being so held, constitutes a
continuous menace from "raiders ;" again, whether
with the best of motives or otherwise. Adopting this
amendment will place the Reserve Fund in absolute
security and when the time comes to use it it will
undoubtedly be employed to the best advantage, be-
cause, under the amendment, its use must meet with
the approval of a two-third vote of the entire board
of directors at its mid-Lent meeting, and, at the fol-
lowing convention, receive the majority of all votes
cast by ballot at the same time as the annual elec-
tion of officers. Amendment No. 13 has to do with
the amendment or alteration of the constitution and
by-laws, changes therein to be made hereafter by
ballot.

We have dwelt upon these amendments for the
reason that every member should make a point of
studying them carefully before he is called upon to
vote on them, in order that he may not vote blindly
or merely at the suggestion of some other member
who has read them more carefully than himself.

Securing Your Hotel Reservation

Regarding the advices contained on page 23, "Im-
portant Things to Remember :" The first preliminary
is to secure your hotel reservations. A little tip in
this direction may be worth while. When you send
for your reservation mail a cheque of say $10 to
cover it. This advance deposit is far, more likely to
secure you attention and a room than the mere hotel
return assurance that your reservation has been
booked, which, generally speaking (certainly many
times to the personal discomfiture pf scores of dele-
gates) has indicated that the promised reservation
had no value, and left those who had had the fore-
thought to obtain a reservation, scrambling for a
room along with those who had not asked for one.
Particularly might this happen to be the case if the
hotels are doing a thriving business at the time of
the convention.

Wholesale Dahlia Growers Association

Dahlia growers are once more asked to make note
of the meetings to be held at the Pennsylvania Hotel,
New York City, mezzanine floor on Aug. 9. The first
opens at 9.30 a.m. ; the second session will be held in
the afternoon. Much important business is to be
discussed.

Sweet Pea "The President Harding"

The President Harding is late flowering and forms
large blooms of cerise suffused with orange. It is a
self color throughout, the standard and wings being
practically identical in shade. It weathers well in
practically all conditions, being a strong grower. For
other notes on this variety see Philadelphia news-
letter.

The following telegraphic correspondence has passed
between President Harding and W. Atlee Burpee Co.,
in which it will be noted that President Harding has
accepted the name given this new variety.

The National Sweet Pea Society of Great Britain has
just made us the only award of merit for the finest new
Sweet Pea this year. It is a new variety we originated
on our California Farms and which has won out in the
English trials in competition with one hundred and five
other new varieties from all parts of the world. This is
the first time the English Society has ever given such
award to an American Sweet Pea. It will have inter-
national importance. May we have the honor of nam-
ing this grand new Sweet Pea The President Harding?
It is necessary for us to cable the name to England be-
fore the award can be announced.

fulness.

Canadian Florists and Gardeners Association

Later advices indicate a record attendance at the
coming convention of this society, Aug. S to 11, at the
Windsor Hotel, Montreal. The hall reserved for the
trade exhibit at the Windsor Hotel was found wholly
inadequate so Stanley Hall, adjacent to the Windsor,
has been secured for the exhibition. The trade will
be represented on a larger scale than at any previous
convention. On page 280 of our previous issue we
published the first notice of this coming convention.
One of the attractions will be the presentation of all
the past presidents. In this connection it is of in-
terest to note that all these men are still actively
and prominently engaged in business and remain ac-
tive members of the association. Among these are
McKenna of Montreal, Dunlop of Toronto and Gam-
mage and Hamilton of London.

University of Minnesota

Horticultural and Nursery Training

From the bulletin of the University of Minnesota,
St. Paul, we learn that a three year course of nur-
sery and horticultural training has been planned.

Win. H. Alderman, chief of staff, has several as-
sistants who aid in the work of this course, which
embraces fruit and vegetable growing, plant propaga-
tion, elementary and advanced landscape gardening,
greenhouse construction and management, nursery
management, the raising of nursery seeds, and Potato
production.

A "Garden Beautiful" at Sing Sing, N. Y,

Three and a half years ago a certain newspaper
man became a lifer at Sing Sing. We will call him
Mr. X. His first employment in the prison was of a
type he was used to and be dug into it. but the prison
paper gave out and he undertook office work, helped
in the library and wrote in his spare time in the en-
deavor to maintain his equilibrium.

Credit is due to Father Cashin, the Catholic chap-
lain, who suggested to X. that he fuss around with
a garden and make something pretty to look at. Fol-
lowing this advice, he bought X a full set of tools.
Warden Lawes furnished the soil, loads and loads of
it. The story of the development of this garden is a
most interesting one and we regret inability to give
it space at this present time. As already noted, F. R.
Pierson of Tarrytowu and Scarboro and others have
contributed plants. A twelve-foot Tulip bed is wanted
to surprise the warden with. All that is needed is
the Tulips. Anyone desiring to contribute is asked' to
send same by parcel post to the "Man Who Gardens,"
care Warden Lawes, 354 Hunter st, Ossining, N. Y.
Additionally, all kinds of seeds, shrubs and vines are
wanted and' will be appreciated.

This idea of a "Garden Beautiful" is not a thing to
be sentimental over. The prisoners themselves don't
appreciate mushy reflections. They are men like the
rest of us; they have thoughts like the rest of us;
and particularly under the conditions in which these
prisoners find themselves it takes but a little thing
to lead a man's thoughts into new and better chan-
nels, and of all the objects he sees there is no one
thing to surpass flowers in appealing to what re-
mains good in his soul.

Perhaps some day when we have more space to
spare, we will be able to obtain and print a complete
story of the progress of the Sing Sing "Garden Beau-
tiful."

Horticultural Society of New York

Gladiolus Exhibition, Aug. 19 and 20

As already announced, an exhibition of Gladioli
will be held at the Museum Building, New York Bo-
tanical Gardens, Bronx, N. Y., on Aug. 19-20. As the

The Florists' Exchange

Baltimore, Md.

The Market

Aug. 1. — This week opened up with
a little more activity. The store folks
were buying, but the great oversupply of
almost every sort of flowers is most dis-
tressing, and conditions are not improv-
ing as regards arrivals. It is simply im-
possible to unload and prices have been
shot to pieces. Good Gladioli are offered
at $20 per thousand with but few buy-
ers. There is still a full market on
Eoses and they are sold very low. The
Summer crops have been much larger than
anticipated and that fact probably inter-
feres with the sales of other stock. As-
ters are also in heavy supply and the
quality of the flowers is all that could
be desired. Enough Lilies for all the
demand; quite a lot of good giganteum
are being shipped in from out of town;
this stock opens up fine. One or two
of the Carnation growers continue to send
in some excellent stock; it is astonishing
how fine the flowers are. Cattleyas are
scarce, but the market is not calling for
very many. Quite a big variety of out-
door flowers are flooding the commission
houses this week and the Asparagus is
by far too plentiful.

News Notes

John F. Michel of Rossville, Md.,
is rebuilding one of his greenhouses and
placing a new boiler. Sir. Michel has
a wonderful field of Dahlias which are
showing some fine fancy flowers in spite
of all the hot weather.

Wm. F. Keys, Jr., has a beautiful new
truck going around town.

Pres. Personette of the Balto. Whole-
sale Florists & Supply Co., has returnea
from his vacation.

August R. Tischinger has his houses
crowded with ferns. The stock looks
very promising.

Harry Beard of Isaac H. Moss, Inc., is
away on a vacation trip to the Eastern
Shore.

Robert E. Creager, with greenhouses at
Thurmont, Md., has opened a new flower
store at 44 East Patrick st., Frederick,
Md. We wish Mr. Creager great suc-
cess with his new place.

Clarence Ritter is laying plans for his
Summer trip to Canada. He expects to
leave about Aug. 15. Mrs. Ritter will start
two days earlier. They will come home
by the way of Atlantic City and stop
awhile.

Ran right into Cousin Johnnie Rider
last Friday and he's just as "sassy" as
ever. Says he is too busy to take a vaca-
tion and doesn't see how he can manage
to go abroad this year.

Looking Around

.Charlie Groff of Frederick, Md.,
blew into town on Thursday with two
friends, Lederman and Dorsey. The
three "sports" pulled up at John Jr.'s
about 11 a.m., picking up "ye scribe,"
and started for Stevenson Bros, at Tow-
son, to have a glimpse of the Roses. The
boys surely have an aristocratic looking
family of Roses, just about being pruned
and started up for the coming season.
Premier, Columbia, Richmond, Butterfly
and Double White Killarney; with Golden
Ophelia in a house all by yourself. You've
all heard of Montgomery's new pink Rose
Commonwealth, to be disseminated by A.
N. Pierson next year; well, the boys have
twelve plants trying it out, and it would
be well if you have a "look in" next Win-
ter and see this new Rose performing for
Ned and Tom. They are in great hopes
of it being a real "bread and butter"
Rose. You ought to see the Euphorbia
jacquiniEeflora, about 1500, making ready
for Christmas; great old time plant.
Pulling out once more on the State road,
we headed for Isaac H. Moss, Inc.; we
were fortunate in finding Mr. Moss at
the York road plant, so we parted from
our Packard for the time being and all
piled into Mr. Moss' big car and off to the
nursery. Charlie's eyes began to pop the
minute we drove in the entrance, as he
took in the big plantings of specimen ever-
greens, fancy Box, and ornamental trees
that lined the driveway on both sides, and
the immense blocks of young stock lined
out in perfect order and as clean of
weeds as a whistle. Cultivating and man
hoeing is a lot of labor, but it is the only
way to run a nursery department. You've
heard the expression, "everything ship
shape," well that's the way Patrick Han-
non keeps the whole place and, by the
way, Patrick has been with Mr. Moss for
more than thirty -years and wad the
first man on the grounds after the

property was purchased. We traveled
through the greenhouses and they are well
worth a longer visit. House after house
of Roses, Carnations and Chrysanthe-
mums, all planted and growing great.
Go out and see for yourself, you will not
regret the trip.

Wm. F. Ekas visited York, Pa., on
Sunday last and looked over the destruc-
tion and havoc caused by a terriffic hail
and windstorm that happened on Friday
afternoon. The eastern and northern
sections of the city suffered the heaviest
loss, while the West and South ends es-
caped almost untouched. The greenhouses
in the path of the storm were almost
total wrecks, and the stocks ruined. We
learned the following florists met with
heavy losses, with only one carrying hail
insurance: Chas. A. Schafer, Chas. Smith,
August Shaffer, H. S. Brandt, W. S.
Yingling and John Dauber. The city's
almshouse greenhouse was a total wreck.

Washington, D. C.

Washington florists are taking advan-
tage of the hot weather to get in their
annual vacations. C. E. Brooks and
family have a cottage at North Chesa-
peake Beach, where the nights are cool
and the days are long. A. B. Price, Box-
wood specialist, is spending his vacation
in Atlantic City and Philadelphia looking
them over.

Leon Trokas, manager for tne past year
and a half of the McCarron Flower Shop
of Raleigh, North Carolina, has joined
the force of Gude Bros. Co. Mr. Trokas
at one time was connected with the store
of Z. D. Blackistone.

Mrs. Nettie Supper of Gude Bros. Co.
is away from Washington for her annual
two weeks' vacation.

Florists Outing Antics

Closing their stores early and tak-
ing their appetites in both hands, some
300 Washington florists and their rela-
tives and friends on July 27 made their
annual pilgrimage to Great Falls, Va., in
compliance with orders issued by O. A.
C. Oehmler, president of the Florists Club
of Washington. Announcement of the
picnic was made some days before in
the form of this notice:

Knotice Extraordinary
Hark Ye of the Florestry one and all.
Man may and Kin live without Matri-
mony. He Kin go through Life without
a devorce. But neither Kin he Knor his
good wife or their Off-Spring get the
fullest enjoyment out of Life if they
Miss Ye Old Time outing at Great Falls
and have a bite and a sip with us Thurs-
day, July 27. The conveyances leave 36th
and M sts at fifteen minutes past two
o'clock.

O. A. C. Oehmler,
President of the Florestry Club.
Attest: Harry. B. Lewis, Secretary.

In addition to the regular service of
the Great Falls Railroad line, three
special cars were assigned to the florists.
During the trip out, peanuts and fans,
the latter bearing the day's program on
the back, were distributed among the
adults, and toys were given to the chil-
dren who accompanied the party. Arriv-
ing at the picnic grounds at Great Falls,
the party scattered, each to seek the
amusement in which he was most inter-
ested. The pavilion was profusely decor-
ated with Oak foliage, Gladioli and oth-
er flowers, donated by the florists. Arth-
ur Elliott and Jake Minder did the work
of decorating.

While some of the picnickers made for
the merry-go-round and others made for
the river, where there was fishing, oth-
ers made for the "eats," as is usual. That
they had their appetites with them was
evidenced from the fact that 1500 sand-
wiches, including "hot dogs," and some
1500 bottles of various drinks, 20 gal-
lons of ice cream, 1500 cakes and Lord
knows how many pickles were consumed
during the day.

The outstanding feature of the day was
the tug-o'-war between the growers and
the retailers. There were twelve men on
a side, A. E. Gude being anchor man
for the retailers. At first the store men
had the best of it; this was due, the
growers claim, to the fact that the re-
tailers' profits are steadier than those of
the raisers. Anyhow, the growers got
even for any profiteering that the retailers
may have done during the war, for when
they saw that the game was going against
them all the onlookers joined in and

pulled the retailers all over the lot. In
a last effort to save the retailers' repu-
tation Mr. Gude tied the rope around a
lamp post, but the growers were so strong
that they pulled up lamp post, Gude and
all, and carried them along for about a
hundred yards. Technically, as the prize
fighters would put it, the growers won
the game on points.

The outing was directed by nine com-
mittees, headed by the following florists:
Executive, George C. Shaffer; finance,
William H. Ernest; entertainment, Z. D.
Blackistone; tickets, A. Sehnell; re-
freshments, Adolph E. Gude; athletics,
M. B. Rice; prizes, Harry B. Lewis;
decorating, Arthur Elliott, and ladies,
Mrs. S. E. Cook.

B. T. Galloway, plant pathologist for
the Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Dept.
of Agriculture, has returned to this city,
after an absence of over a year, having
spent most of this time quietly in
Southern California. The return was
made by way of the Canal Zone, where
several weeks were spent, and much in-
terest taken in the wonderful work being
done there. Dr. Galloway says that on
the Zone there are great opportunities for
tropical horticulture, and already a good
beginning has been made. Several weeks
were also spent on the return in the vi-
cinity of Miami, Fla., where the Depart-
ment has maintained a plant station for
15 years or more. Dr. Galloway writes
that never anywhere in the world has he
seen such wonderful collections of eco-
nomic and other plants. This region,
it seems to him, is destined to be one of
the garden spots of the world.

Dr. Galloway hopes to devote his time
almost exclusively to the study of plant
problems, and reports he is now working
out certain problems in plant propagation
which he trusts may be found useful
when solved. C. L. L.

it was feared that an ambulance would
have to be called to take the umpire to
the hospital. The umpire was C. W.
Wors, Jr., son of the "Old Man;" it was
only on account of the old gent that his
life was spared. He was sadly in need
of a pair of glasses when giving close base
decisions.

Dancing was kept up to a late hour.
The presents donated to the winners^ of
the various events were very beautiful
and costly . ,

The next club meeting will be held
at the Wm. C. Smith greenhouses Aug. 10.
This will be the annual meeting and elec-
tion of officers. The club can be assured
of a rattling good time, as usual, at the
home of the treasurer, Wm. C. Smith.

The Market

Extremely hot weather prevailed
all week; the thermometer in the nineties.
Trade was almost at a standstill.

Asters are coming in more freely;
Gladioli are selling from $7.50 per 1000 to
$30. Roses are in demand, but good stock
is limited.

Demand is now confined to- funeral
work, occasional birthdays or hospital
bouquets.

News Notes

Preparations for the journey to
Kansas City will be complete and an-
nounced at the August club meeting.

Many growers are resting and awaiting
their Fall crops or looking after their
Chrysanthemums, which promise, with
Carnations, to be in fine condition. Vio-
lets have suffered from the long dry
spell.

The wholesalers are very quiet these
times giving "Rope" to the retailers. The
latter can now buy cheap, but what good
is that if there is nothing doing?

Florists Outing

The 29th annual picnic of the St.
Louis Florists Club took place Thursday,
July 27. The intense heat kept the early
attendance down and it was 3 p.m. before
the crowd arrived. A. W. Gumz, L.
Baumann, Oscar J. Ruff, the trustees,
worked hard on arrival. They opened
up the novelties for the kids, whistles
pocket cats, rattles and all noise makers
were distributed, together with paper hats
and fans for the ladies. The games
started at 4 o'clock and were well patron-
ized, the awards being as follows: 75 yard
dash, 12 to 17 boys, R. Breitsehirk 2, H.
Braun 2, Geo. Patton, 3; paper bag throw-
ing contest, Mrs. E. Kremmes 1, Mrs.
Gumz 2, Mrs. H. G. Berning 3; running
high jump, E. Kuchner 1, Ray Wiederhoff
2, F. Sanders, 3; doughnut eating con-
test, Helen Madsen 1, Phil Pena 2, Hilda
Kuhne, 3; Japanese race, Dorothy Young

1, Josephine Mathin 2, M. Schaeffer 3;
50 yard dash, Eugene Eastern 1, Rowe

2, Eugene Wors 3; tug of war, growers
beat the wholesalers. The guessing con-
test was under the management of C. W.
Wors as usual. J. J. Boneke won.

The ball game was a complete surprise
to the wholesalers, who have, for several
seasons "played" with the retailers. This
time, however, the score was 25 to 10
in favor of the retailers. The retailers,
however, had up their sleeve one umpire
who gave some very close decisions and
who seemed to lean to the retailers. At
one period the excitement was so great

Indianapolis, Ind.

Trade Notes

The supply of flowers has been un-
usually good during the past week, and

to $5 per 100. wholesale, and 50c. to $1.50
per doz. retail.

The wonderful color of Tritomas makes
most attractive baskets; spikes at $5 to
$10 per 100. Sweetheart Roses at $4 to j
$5; Lily of the Valley at $5 to $6. A
few Cattleyas at $1.50 to $2 each and

tion.

Thomas Hepler, while out driving withj'
his relatives, including his mother, was ■■!
struck by a North Illinois street car. His
automobile was demolished, his mother
was injured and the rest of the party
were bruised and shaken up. We trust
Mrs. Hepler will soon regain herself.

The outlook for a splendid Dahlia crop
this Fall is very promising. A few more
rains and some of the early varieties will
be in bloom. E. T. Barnes of Spencer,
Indiana, states that he will have a won-
derful lot for the great central market.

Terrific Hailstorm Damage

York (Pa.) on July 28 was visited by
one of the severest hailstorms ever known
here. Pieces of hail as large as silver
half dollars fell and caused considerable
damage throughout the city. The florists,
however, suffered the most loss, with about
90 per cent of the glass broken and stocks
severely damaged. Unfortunately, ma.nyff
of the growers did not carry insurance;
the damage is estimated to be $30,000. The ■
loss to individual growers was as follows
Charles A. Schaeffer, $2000, one-thirfl
glass broken, stock badly damaged, nd
insurance; Charles Smith, damage abou
$50; August Shaffer, $10,000, no insu
ance; H. S. Brandt, $10,000, plants ruined
carried hail insurance. W. S. Yingling
$3000, no insurance. The almshouse
greenhouse was a total wreck. Johtf'
Dauber possesses one of the largeStl'
greenhouse establishments in the citjtyjfi
this was almost totally wrecked and th(M
plants destroyed or damaged. Mr. DaUrn
ber's loss at this writing is unknown, but
will run into thousands.

Prof. Lehenbauer Goes to Univ. of
Nevada

Dr. P. A. Lehenbauer, who for five years
has had charge of the experimental work
in floriculture at the Illinois Experiment
Station, has resigned and will go to the
University of Nevada as head of the De-
partments of Horticulture and Botany.

Dr. Lehenbaauer has become widely
knoAvn as a specialist in floricultural re-
search, and is very popular with the flo-
rists, not only in Illinois, but throughout
the country. His articles and lectures on
subjects pertaining to floriculture, al-
though profound in their logic, are couched
in simple, unpretentious language, char-
acteristic of the man himself. Besides
being a true scientist he is a born teacher,
having a remarkable facility for express-
ing his ideas and convictions. He is very
popular with the students and has made
many friends at Illinois.

Dr. Lehenbauer is a native of Hannibal,
Missouri. He is a graduate of Millikin
University, Decatur, 111., completing his
graduate work in the University of Illi-
nois. Previous to his connection with the
Division of Floriculture, he was for three
years at the University of Nevada. The
people out there have been after him
ever since and have at last succeeded in
inducing him to return. He leaves Illinois
with the good will and best wishes of
everyone who knew him, particularly his
associates in the Department of Horti-
culture. He will be succeeded by Dr. F.
F. Weinard from the Department of
Botany, University of Illinois.

Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin

The June issue of this publication con-
tains some interesting notes regarding
the school for gardening, maintained at
the Botanical Garden under the will of
Henry Shaw.

A one year course costs $200, and
students may obtain rooms and board
at $35 to $50 a month. A few scholar-
ships are available. A three year course
covers everything indoors and out, in-
cluding floral design work.

Other interesting matter in the bulletin
deals with local plants which have proved
of food value to man; these include the

The Florists' Exchange

Louisville, Ky.

Trade Notes

July 29. — Business with Louisville
florists has been quiet this week; it was
unusually quiet even for a Summer week.
Of course, such a cessation of trade was
bound to come when stocks are most plen-
tiful and in fine condition — when the flo-
rist could give most value for the money
received. Gladioli and Delphiniums are
coming in in fine shape, particularly the
Gladioli, which are usually upstanding
and are showing wonderful colors.

A severe wind and rain storm which
caused considerable property damage this
week in various sections of the city, did
little harm to florists, according to re-
ports. Outside stocks were flattened to
the ground, but came right up again the
next morning. Fears were entertained
that widespread damage had been done,
as the wind was unusually violent. Much
of the local fruit crop was destroyed, com-
munication was interrupted and some
buildings torn up.

Getting Ready for Picnic

Preparations for the picnic of the
Kentucky Society of Florists, to be held
at Glenwood Park, New Albany, Aug. 10,
are proceeding rapidly at the hands of the
committee headed by Miss Nell Able of
the C B. Thompson Co. Besides Miss
Able, Miss Edith Walker, George L. Nanz
of New Albany and Herman Kleinstar-
ink, Jr., are on the committee. Members
of the society have shown much interest
in the affair, and many suggestions and
inquiries are being received as to the de-
tails of the picnic. The program of con-
tests and races will be completed shortly.
This year is expected to bring the largest
crowd that ever attended a society pic-
nic.
Thieves Draw Blank

Thieves who ransacked the Fourth
street store of Edith Walker & Brothers
got nothing for their pains. They entered
the store by tearing a wire screen off the
transom over) the front door. The cash regis-
ter had been rifled, but nothing had been
left in it. The safe was untouched. Miss
Walker also said that the intruders went
through the office in the balcony of the
store. On a previous occasion thieves ob-
tained $9.40 which had been left in the
cash register. Investigators suggested
that it was probably the work of dope
fiends, who seem to have a mania for
robbing retail stores of petty cash.

General News

Jack Levine of M. H. Levine & Co.,
New York, called on the local trade last
week.

A letter from the Fred Haupt Co.,
local florists, to the Liberty Insurance
Bank on its amateur flower shows, was
printed by the bank as an advertisement in
the daily papers. The letter says in part:
"We, as florists, hope the Liberty Bank
Keeps up its good work. Your lobby is
a wonderful place to display flowers. Ex-
hibitions of this kind, coupled with the
good service and the attention being giv-
en depositors and friends, are probably
the reason for your bank's wide popu-
larity."

The William Walker Co. is preparing
to move four doors up Fourth st. from
its present location. The new room, next
to the corner of Fourth and Chestnut sts.,
is being altered and renovated to meet
the requirements of a modern florist's
shop.

J. Henry Steepler who, for ten years,
has been superintendent of parks in
Louisville, has been removed from that
office and superseded by J. E. Barringer
who has been foreman at Cherokee Park.
Mr. Barringer is an expert tree sur-
geon. Causes for the removal of Mr.
Steepler were not made public, but it is
understood that some difference as to
policies arose. Mr. Stoepler has been
connected with the Louisville park sys-
tem practically all his life.

Herbert A. Hecht of Wertheimer Bros.,
New York, was in Louisville this week
calling on the local florists.

Beutel & Frederick, 1231 South Brook
St., have placed a new Ford delivery truck
in commission this week.

Herman Kleinstarink, Jr., and Mrs.
Kleinstarink have left on a two weeks'
automobile tour through Ohio and the
East.

Will Williamson of the C. B. Thomp-
son Co. has gone to Indianapolis to
spend his vacation.

Mrs. Robert Miller of the Funzman
Floral Co., Western Parkway, is very ill
at her home.

Memorials Instead of Flowers

The growing practice of "Omit all
Flowers" received new impetus this
week from a front page story in a local
newspaper, on the plan of a woman's
organization in the church of Dr. I. N.
Bloom, prominent philanthropist, who died
this week, to receive donations of money
for charity instead of flowers for the de-
ceased. The plan, which has been in use
here for seven or eight years, was not
generally known, but with the death of so
prominent a personage and resultant pub-
licity, has called universal attention to
the practice of omitting flowers.

The money that would have been spent
for flowers, according to the plan as ex-
plained in newspaper stories, is received,
with the name of the donor, by the wom-
en's organization, which sends to the fam-
ily, a list of the donors without a. record
of the amount of individual contributions.
The family then names a charity or other
public work which shall receive the
money.

Dr. Bloom was one of Louisville's most
prominent citizens. His most outstand-
ing work had been done in several years'
service with the city Board of Education
and as dean of the medical staff at the
Jewish Hospital. His prominence re-
sulted in the utmost publicity being given
to the plan of omitting flowers and is
the strongest blow that has been struck
at florists in connection with this move-
ment.

The Coal Situation

Louisville florists, while within
from 100 to 200 miles of the great coal
producing fields of Kentucky, wnich have
been operating freely without strike
troubles while the rest of the country has
been strike bound, have been unable to
stock Winter fuel needs, due to the fact
that railroads, public utilities and large
consumers have been taking every pound
of production available, and the rail
strike has made for severe car shortage,
reducing production at such mines as are
not troubled with labor problems. On
Saturday, July 22, coal prices at Kentucky
mines soared up to levels from $10 to
$11.50 a ton at mine. During the week
prices broke to around $6 to $8, with some
coal quoted at $10. Today, it was reported
that a few cars had been sold at around
$3.50 as a result of some operators de-
ciding to abide by Herbert Hoover's pro-
gram, which calls for a maximum of
$3.50 a ton on a mine run basis, which
means $3.25 for screenings and $3.50 for
lump.

Western Kentucky has tentatively
agreed to the price, but is still arguing
for $4.50 a ton maximum, as production
costs are higher there than in any other
operating field. Next week prices may
get back to reasonable.

In the meantime, local yards are empty
as are the florists' bins. There has been
no provision made against cold weather,
except in a very few instances. A threat
to prevent movement of cars to any
mines that do not maintain fair prices, is
bringing the operators around, but then
there will be the priority troubles to
meet, which may result in considerable
trouble in the early Fall in securing fuel,
even provided the strikes are settled in
the meantime. Coal buyers of the coun-
try have been turning to Kentucky the
past week, as the only big operating field.

The Market

July 29. — The weather is hot down
here, and the people are hot too. Even
the newly made bouquets of flowers when
taken from the refrigerators for delivery,
just seem to ooze drops of perspiration
and to beg to be put back from whence
they came, so that if they must wither
and die as all flowers do, they may at
least be comfortable. But the florist
these days isn't considering the desires
and inclinations of this stock and is only
too willing to send it out into^ the torrid
temperature with no compunctions at all.
What he wants is only the opportunity.

Fortunately, we may say when speak-
ing in the language of the horticulturist,
and unfortunately in any other, there
were a large number of funerals during
the past week and orders for designs
seem to have been well distributed over
the city so that complaints of a quiet mid-

Summer business were not quite so nu-
merous as during the previous week. Then
we might state again fortunately for the
florist, but unfortunately for the groom,
there were a number of belated weddings
which helped to keep things moving. The
hospitals, too, at this time are well filled,
and this means additional orders for flo-
rists. There are no flowering plants on
the market now so that baskets of cut
flowers are suggested to take their place
and are meeting with satisfactory re-
sults.

The home grown Radiance Roses are
still the mainstay of the cut flower market
and no other bloom can approach them in
popularity. They are bringing from $2
to $3 a 100 and seem to be plentiful, and
in excellent condition. Columbia grown in
local greenhouses is going well at from
6c. to 10c. each.

There are no Carnations of any kind
in the florists' shops nor have we seen any
Peonies for the last week or so. The
Gladioli crop is in fine condition now; the
most popular sorts are America, Pendleton,
Schwaben and Chicago White; these are
selling for $1.20 to $2 a 100. America
remains the best seller and is perhaps in
the finest condition. Tuberoses are con-
tinuing plentiful and the home grown
variety is considered some of the finest
stock in the South. They are worth from
$2 to $5 a 100.

Asters are larger now and in all the
wanted shades of light and dark pink,
purple and white and, although they are
not much in demand as a cut flower, they
make up very effectively when used in
combinations for baskets. Their quality
as yet, is not much and they bring from
$3 to $4 a 100. The first Gypsophila from
the North is in now and is being used
effectively in design and basket work. Del-
phinium when combined with pink Roses
or Gladioli makes beautiful baskets for
sick room purposes. There are some pretty
Russell Roses from the North on the mar-
ket worth $20 a 100 and these take the
place of the American Beauty which is
seen here only in' Winter and then in small
quantity.

Forestry School a Success

Today marked the closing of the
second session of the Summer forestry
school which was held at Urania, La., and
according to the state department of
conservation, the session proved success-
ful in every respect. The second session
started June 19 and continued until today
with a total of 65 students enrolled.

The first session of the forestry practice
school ever conducted in the South was
held last year with an enrollment of 25
students so that the present session
found the number of the class more than
doubled. The curriculum is composed of
four courses: An advanced course for col-
lege students, a course for high school
graduates and college students, a high
school course and a ranger's course.

The forestry camp is located on a re-
servation of 50,000 acres owned by the
Urania Lumber Co. This tract is devoted
to reforestration on an extensive scale,
and also is a game preserve. The camp
site and forest were loaned to the school
by H. E. Hardtner, president of the
L'rania Lumber Company.

News Notes

The Quality Flower Shop, of which
H. B. Exnicios is proprietor, reports that
they had been busy on weddings during
the week, one requiring ten bouquets, in-
cluding the bridal shower and the other
seven. Their Roses including Premier and
pink and red Radiance are much in de-
mand, while other calls are for home
grown Gladioli and Tuberoses.

From present indications there will be
perhaps a dozen florists and seedsmen
from here who will attend the convention
in Kansas City, for nearly every day a
new name appears on the list of possible
prospects.

Gentilly Terrace Nursery Making Im-
provements

E. A. Farley, owner of the Gentilly
Terrace Nursery, is busy making many
improvements on his place wrhich, when
completed, will set him back the neat little
sum of $7,400, but which will do much
toward improving his nursery and facili-
tating work thereon.

During the 1915 storm Mr. Farley suf-
fered a great deal of damage to his houses
and stock and his greenhouses all 140ft.
by from 16ft. to 24ft., had to be reno-
vated. Three of these greenhouses he is
now having remodeled for orchid rais-

ing, which will enable him to greatly in-
crease his capacity of production of that
flower. Mr. Farley claims to have the
biggest stock this side of Chicago and
ships the plants all through Louisiana,
Alabama, Texas and Mississippi. The
new greenhouses are all 140ft. by 21ft.

A new potting shed, 160ft. by 14ft. is
now in the process of erection and, when
completed, will represent an investment
of $2700. He is also rebuilding his pack-
ing shed which will be 30ft. by 47ft., and
in which will be located a new boiler
that he is going to. install with a con-
crete smoke stack 65ft. high. The total
cost of this shed, boiler and smoke-
stack will be $4750.

Mr. Farley says that there is quite a
demand for this new variety of California
Giant Zinnias for window work. His pink
Radiance Roses, of which he has 23,000
plants are in good condition at this time
and he is cutting about 700 a day. There
are not so many Tuberoses right now, it
seems, because of the overabundance
of rain which has fallen recently.

There are about 7000 Chrysanthemums
planted in the nursery and these are in
splendid condition and will make a fine
crop for All Saints Day. The prepara-
tion of Poinsettias and different kinds of
potted plants for the Christmas season is
taking up much of the time. Between 2500
and 2700 broad leaf evergreens are in
a thriving condition, also in preparation
for a big call around December 25.

Mr. Farley has about 7500 Juniper and
Thuya trees in his nursery, and since
the quarantine was put on the state about
three years ago, prohibiting the impor-
tation of ornamental shrubbery trees un-
less by special permit and then only
special varieties, he has been doing a big
business in this line.

Mr. Farley has announced hia intention
of attending the convention at Kansas
City and says that he is busy working
on other nurserymen whom he intends to
take along with him.

Big Rubber Plant Business

Maurice Van Dereeken, whose nur-
sery is near that of the Gentilly Terrace,
has one of the finest stocks of Rubber
plants to be found in the South and each
year he ships around 42,000 to the vari-
ous northern cities. He had a big ship-
ment of 5000 ready to go out at the end
of the week.

Mr. Van Dereeken has a crop of Aspi-
distra leaves, green and varigated, total-
ing 60,000, on which he has been working
for eight years; in another two years
he expects to have 100,000, when he will
begin cutting them for shipment from
then on and will sell about one-third of that
number every year. This nurseryman
says that it is much nicer to inherit a
crop of these leaves than to raise them
oneself, but somebody has to start them,
so it might as well be he.

C. W. Eichling of the Avenue Floral
Co. and one of the oldest florists in the
business says that nurserymen are busy
propagating Poinsettias for the North
and that more orders have been placed
than can possibly be filled. The Chrys-
anthemum crop is in splendid condition at
the present time and bids fair to pro-
duce some excellent blooms this Fall.

Houston, Texas

"All's quiet along the ship channel."
So would a reversion of the famous Po-
tomac quotation read if applied to Hous-
ton. For with a very quiet flower week
behind us, and prospects of another one
before us, there is little of outstanding
interest.

Los Angeles and San Francisco Asters
are making their appearance, and caus-
ing temporary thrills in the hearts of
longing florist, but, like many other an-
ticipated pleasures of human existence,
they prove to be disappointments upon
realization. It is still too warm, and
the Asters are too young to ship well.
They are excellent for funeral work, but
have not the stability and hardiness to
stand up after their arrival here, to be
suitable for cut flowers.

One of the local stores received a ship-
ment of the famous Los Angeles African
Marigolds the other day, and they were
quite satisfactory. The great big orange
yellow "sponges" made a striking win-
dow display, and attracted the attention,
and pocket book, of many a passer by.

product brings.

The Texas Blue Bell

Our Texas Blue Bells are about
played out ; these flowers are our most
useful and dependable Summer stock,
yet their growing habits are very eccen-
tric and rather interesting. It is diffi-
cult to cultivate them, but they grow
well all over the prairie in certain dis-
tricts. The center of production in Texas
is probably at Willis, and Mr. Cluxton,
who handles more of them there than
any other shipper, has to take his chances
on getting them where they may chance
to come up. One year they will simply
cover a certain hillside, while the fol-
lowing year, and perhaps for the next
two or three years, they will be entirely
gone from this place, and be equally
thick over a neighboring hill. All efforts
to grow them from seed, or plants, seem
to be of no avail. Mr. Cluxton merely
reserves his many acres of farm land for
the growth of Blue Bells. He does not
use the land for pasture, or cultivation
in any form, but keeps it all idle till the
Spring of the year shows which portion
of it will bear the Blue Bells.

Last year the flowers were very short
stemmed, but lasted well into September.
This year the flowers have been very
long stemmed, but are about to pan out.
Another two weeks at most will witness
the last of them in the Willis territory,
and will find them pretty scarce else-
where. This Blue Bell and many other
flowers are like pretty maids — you can
never tell what they're going to do next.

No More Roses

The local Hose crop is about
burned up ; all of the Houston growers,
including the two largest, Carroll and
Kerr, are letting their beds rest for the
Summer. We will probably get a few
Ophelia for a week or two yet, but the
Columbia and Radiance crop is gone.

One of the local florists made a last
hopeful effort to ship in Roses from
Kansas City — having tried with unsuc-
cessful results both St. Louis and Den-
ver, but the long ride proved too hot for
them. Though the flowers appeared to
have been excellent Premiers at the time
of cutting, they were entirely open, and
turning purple upon their arrival here.

For the remainder of the hot period,
we will have to depend upon the garden
products ; Kaiserin for white, and the
Helen Gould for pink, for all the Roses
we have. The garden Roses are pretty
enough flowers, but they are too small to
be effective in any way but in basket
arrangements, and at that they last only
one day.

The Gladioli are by far our best, and
most practical flower just now. Though
the local crops are exhausted, it is found
that the shipped in Glads, from St. Louis
are very good, and they can be purchased
at a price which, even after the express
charges are paid, is cheaper than local
stock. Good Glads., Houston grown,
brought $10 to $15 per 100 all Spring,
wholesale, while the shipped in Glads,
fully as good, cost but $5 per 100, whole-
sale, and the express seldom amounts to
over 50 per cent.

Tuberoses Abundant

Tuberoses are more plentiful now
than ever, and the best ones available
are grown right in Houston. They are
selling wholesale for two and three cents,
and bringing from $1 to $1.50 per doz.
in the retail stores. A situation some-
what similar to the street marketing in
California is arising in Houston this
year with respect to the Tuberose crop.
Several of the local growers have over-
stocked themselves, and several others
have large supplies, growing them chiefly
for the bulbs. Finding the market glut-
ted, many of them put their flowers on
sale at stalls, and booths around the city
market, and at other advantageous
places on the streets, and sold them at
25c. and 50c. per doz.

One enterprising grower dyed several
hundred pink, and several hundred yel-
low, and got an extra 25c. per doz. for
them. It was rather amusing, as he told
us later, to have a very self-important
lady come up to him and tell him that
she had some of the pink Tuberose plants
once, but they all died. How much did
he charge for his plants? And the lady
would not believe him when told that
the flowers were dyed, but preferred to
get angry because he was keeping his in-
formation from the public.

One of the largest local department
stores handled a few thousand of the

Tuberoses last Saturday, and sold them
them at 50c. per doz. in the face of the
retailer's prices of $1 and $1.50. When
one of the retailers was asked if that
didn't make the florists "sore," the re-
ply was surprising, and interesting.

"No," said the florist, in almost the
identical words of Walter Armacost,
spoken at the Texas convention, "we
are not at all disturbed, or provoked, by
street sales and department store sales
of Tuberoses. Just at thie time of the
year they are very plentiful ; why
shouldn't the public have them at a re-
duced price rather than let them die in
the fields? Besides, the people who buy
the department store flowers, and the
flowers from the city market vendors, are
not those who would buy them in our
store in the absence of these means. But
people who learn to like flowers, having
bought them at outrageously cheap
prices on the street, will later learn to
love and buy the flowers of quality sold
in the flower shops. Street vendors per-
form a function of education — they are
the primer and the A B C's to flower
lovers. But in the long run the florist
will be decidedly benefited, and not at
all hurt, by such sales."

Mrs. Hewett, of The Hewett Flower
Shop, is spending the next two or three
weeks of hot weather with her father,
E. T. Jones, at Edna, Texas.

Mrs. Palfrey and Miss Smith, both of
Carroll the Florist are vacationing for
a month during the hot spell.

E. W. Eiehling, sales manager for Kerr
the Florist left Monday for the Bay
Shore, down in the vicinity of Freeport,
and elsewhere in Brazoria County, where
he and a party of other live ones will in-
dulge in that by no means mild past-
time of Tarpon fishing. Mr. Eiehling
will be gone about two weeks.

Miss Thomas, of The Q. and S. florists,
is still visiting in Indiana, where she
went direct from the Texas convention.

T. S. F. A. and Its President

From Jas. W. Begbie, Shreveport, La.,
we have received an interesting commu-
nication telling of conditions with him
and at Shreveport, La., where he is now
well established in business; as well as
of the intended participation of the
members of the Texas State Florists As-
sociation in the big S. A. F. Convention at
Kansas City.

Mr. Begbie, it will be recollected, has
just been elected president of the Texas
body and a sketch of his life, as well as
a portrait of that gentleman, will be
found in our issue of July 15.

When Mr. Begbie left New York 16
years ago, he went South and opened a
retail flower shop at Shreveport, La., and
while it was pretty close sailing for him
for several years, he is to be congratulated
on now having one of the finest establish-
ments south of the Mason and Dixon line
and is on easy street so far as his future
is concerned. He grows no stock what-
ever. He is catering entirely to the
best people in the community and looks to
Chicago, St. Louis and even to Texas for
his daily supplies. He has been a mem-
ber of the Texas State Florists Associa-
tion for several years and takes a great
interest in the development of the florist
trade in that State, and it is exceedingly
gratifying to him to note the advance-
ment that is being made in the South
from year to year. He predicts a won-
derful future for the industry in Texas.

Just now Mr. Begbie is working in the
endeavor to get a sufficient number of the
Texas Association members together to
fill a Pullman and go to Kansas City in
a body.

At Kansas City Mr. Begbie will meet a
lot of old timers who will be mighty
glad to greet him with a friendly hand-
shake and spend a few minutes in conver-
sation over the days of yore.

Roses from Georgia

We are in receipt of a box of Rose
blooms from Mrs. W. A. Wells, of Thom-
asville, Ga. Unfortunately the tempera-
ture between July 22 and 24, the period
of traveling through the mails, was around
about 90 degs. and while sufficiently moist,
the flowers had not only expanded, but
shed their petals. Roses sent through the
mails, need to be wrapped and securely
fastened. The blooms under notice being
bunched, had been badly shaken about;
literally knocked to pieces. We are much
struck by the vigorous wood, but extreme-
ly pale color of the foliage.

National Publicity Campaign

Information furnished by John Young,
43 West 18th Street, New York

The accompanying account shows that
the Campaign is progressing, though not
so actively as the Publicity Committee
w-ould wish. Numbers of subscribers are
yet in arrears with their subscriptions,
and at a time considered to be more
or less crucial, because it is absolutely
necessary that contracts be placed for
the new season's advertising without de-
lay. Doubtless these tardy subscribers
mean well, but they certainly are not
acting well. A regular business could not
be run on pledges alone, and why should
anyone think that a campaign such as this
could be run on pledges which of them-
selves are n. g. at the bank. Again, all
delinquents are urged to live up to their
pledges, and to> make remittances im-
mediately, so that the committee can go
ahead with their plans to create the pub-
licity all will look for at the time when
it will be needed.

President Jenkins that a large attendance
will be noted on this trip.

We cannot say much for business this
week for we have not noticed any healthy
samples in the offing. It is simply a.
case this year of business taking a vaca-
tion along with the rest of humanity.
It is not an economic condition we are
glad to say.

Asters are on the job again and they,
with the greatly increased cut of Gladioli
are, at present, the mainstay in the cut
flower line. All garden flowers are plenti-
ful. Just enough business comes along,
to use a small percentage of available
stock and to keep the florist reminded
that he is still in the game. J. S. H

Summer brings into play the seasonal
schedule of the Albany Florists Club. The
July meeting was held at Fred Gold-
ring's establishment at Slingerlands. This
has become an annual affair and a good
crowd is always present. Brother Gold-
ring is a pleasing host and the Slinger-
lands trip is a popular one for the club.
Just enough business is transacted to
lend the proper atmosphere of dignity
without giving an impression of undue
energy in the offseason. Cigars are al-
ways plentiful and we have felt for some
time that Fred combined utility with
bounty, for certainly any but the most
hard boiled insect must perish in the
greenhouses, after the Albany Florists
Club has fumigated them. The next pil-
grimage of the club will be to Rhinebeck,
N. Y., where the plant of Joseph Snyder
will be inspected and the August business
meeting will take place. It is not too
much to expect that Mr. Snyder will have
something cool and refreshing hidden from
view and at the psychological moment
will bring it forth. It is the hope of

The Market

This week has simply been a repe-
tition of last' week only worse if possible,
with an oversupply of Gladioli and As-
ters that was impossible to move at any
price. Business in the retail stores is
very poor; in fact, some claim it is the
worst for years. Every Tom, Dick and
Harry within a radius of 25 miles who
has a backyard has it planted to Gladioli
and bring them in daily. While the
wholesale houses will have nothing to do
with them, the retailers buy them direct,
which goes to hurt an already overloaded
market.

Roses are in short supply which is well,
as the demand is light. In this market
Columbia and Premier are proving to be
the best Summer varieties. Carnations are
a thing of the past and wdiat few are
coming in stand no chance against the
Asters. Lilies are in moderate supply
and clean up nicely.

The supply of Asters grows larger daily
Some are good, but tbe most are only
medium. Outdoor flowers are flooding the
market and include practically all known
varieties. It is to be hoped that condi-
tions will improve in the near future and
get back to normal again.

News Notes

The McCallum Co. announce that
they will open a new branch at Buffalo,
N. Y., on or about Aug. 17 to be known,
as The Buffalo-McCallum Co.. Their
business in this section has grown to
such an extent that a step of this kind
was needed in order to give their cus-
tomers the service they are entitled to_

C. Becherer, for tbe past four years in_
charge of the grounds at the Allegheny
County Work House at Hoboken, Pa.,
and ten years in charge of the green-
house and ground of the Hospital at Dix-
mont, Pa., announces that he is leaving
for Canton, O., on August 1 where he
has bought the plant of Raebel & Son and.
will engage in a general wholesale and re-
tail business. Mr. Becherer has been an,
active member of the local Florists and
Gardeners Club and for the past two,
years has been secretary and treasurer of
the same. While his many friends wish,
him luck, they are sorry to see him go.

It does not look as though this section,
would be represented very heavily at
Kansas City on account of the distance.
The McCallum Co. and the Pittsburgh Cut
Flower Co. will have trade exhibits, but
outside of them there will not be many
there from here.

T. Malbranc of Jolinstowrn, Pa., was a
recent visitor. Mr. Malbranc will sail for
Europe about the middle of August and
expects to be gone about two months.

Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. Celebrates
Anniversary

Twenty-four years ago on July 30 the
Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. launched out
into the wholesale cut flower commission,
business. The same officers who organized
this partnership association are still ac-
tively engaged. Its president, F. Burki,
with Fred Kocher and Louis Eltcher, are
daily looking after the production and
immense area of glass at Bakerstown,
while Messrs. Clarke and Langhans give
their personal attention to the distribu-
tion of this production at the city store.
This company is looking forward to the
pleasure of a joint silver and gold anni-
versary— the silver epoch having arrived
and the gold in commemoration of the
entry of Mr. Burki into the flower busi-
ness, he having started away back in the
year 1876. H. J. H.

Trade Notes

July 29. — Retail trade continues
about the same ; an occasional dull day
and then one with considerable business,
so that by Saturday night the business
averages up respectable for the week.

Gladioli continue to be a big item in
'the market and other outdoor flowers
make up a collection that appeals to One
flower lovers. Sick room boxes are an
item of much importance to the store
trade.

The markets continue loaded with all
manner of outdoor flowers and at prices
.as variable as human nature, with the
majority sold at a figure that the store
men cannot touch, but it helps to make
flower users and it looks as if we might
■want a few of these next Winter when
they will have to depend on the green-
house grown stock.

The Carnation men have had ideal
weather conditions for starting the fresh-
ly planted stock the past week with
minimum sunshine and very cool nights ;
those who have not planted are hustling
-along to get ready.

Gladioli continue going out of Lan-
caster by the carload ; Ira Landis, Chas.
M. Weaver and the H. D. Rohrer estab-
lishments are all cutting heavily and a
number of smaller growers are trying
them out, so that the combined bulk is
really enormous.

It is not often that a grower can take
a real vacation, but Harry K. Rohrer is
starting out on a two weeks' automobile
trip up through Canada and back by
way of Vermont ; we all wish him a
pleasant trip and a complete rest, as
between his business and the Lancaster
County Florists Club as its president,
he is entitled to anything good that
comes his way.

News Notes

Robert A. Padgett is touring Lan-
caster County in the interests of the
McCallum Co. of Pittsburgh.

Edgar Harry Herr and Miss Cora
Francis Weaver were united in wedlock
Wednesday, July 26, by the Rev. John
Stringer at Philadelphia, Pa. They left
for Boston by boat for a wedding trip
and will be at home to their friends
Sept. 1 at 514 B. King st., Lancaster,
Pa.

Chas. B. Herr, of Strasburg, lost a
brother and Elmer Weaver, of Ronks,
lost a sister by the above marriage, but
two congenial souls found each other,
and we who know them, believe they will
live happily ever after.

Reading Florists Club Picnic

Friday, July 28, we Lancaster
florists were invited to join the Reading
Florists Club as their guests at their
picnic held on Mt. Penn, at the home of
the Eagles.

A train arriving 9.35 a.m. brought our
distinguished member, S. S. Pennock, to
Lancaster and, by arrangement, we all
'met him at the depot and immediately
piled into machines and headed for Read-
ing by way of Lebanon. Elmer Weaver,
who had your worthy scribe and Mr.
Pennock with his party, managed to get
to Petersburg all right and stopping at a
•garage to see what was wrong with his
■engine was told in the language of that
village, that she was knocked out and
that it would take three hours at least
to fix her. After some delay, we man-
aged to get a party to take us to Read-
ing by way of Ephreta and we arrived a
half hour ahead of the regular party.

All met at the store of Stanley Giles
and from there were escorted to the top
•of the mountain and the Eagles' home.
We hardly had time to get out of our
machines before we were notified by
megaphone that a lundh was prepared on
the porch for the Lancaster party, and
we soon found that we wrere not only
expected to eat our fill but to drink our
fill as well, for there was sarsaparilla,
birch beer, near beer and a host of min-
eral waters.

About three p.m., the sports were
pulled off and our Lancaster bunch cap-
tured three of them. Mrs. Elmer Weaver
caught the rooster in the rooster race ;
S. S. Pennock broke two flower pots with
three baseballs in a well contested match
with T. J. Nolan, who was tied with him
in the general contest. Jack Moore, of
the Rosary, won out on the smoking con-
test.

At 5.30 p.m. we all sat down to beau-
tifully decorated tables and a nice din-

ner ; during the dinner noise makers
were handed out. We were all decorated
with paper caps, and string confetti,
which added to the general hilarity, and
if there was a grouch in the crowd, he
was cured forever, and if good eats com-
bined with laughter and a good time
add to one's years, all the participants
are good for a few additional ones.

After dinner there was a general social
hour and then we Lancaster people
started for home, arriving in Lancaster
between nine and ten which wasn't bad
considering that about twelve of the
thirty-nine" miles between Lancaster and
Reading had as bad roads as it is pos-
sible to have them, the balance, how-
ever, making up for this, We hope by
Fall to have the entire distance a boule-
vard to bring our Reading brothers over
to Lancaster, every one of them.

Our party consisted of Mr. and Mrs.
J. Wade Galey, Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph
Nagle, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Weaver, Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Smallwood, Mr. and
Mrs. Jack Moore, Mr. and Mrs. Lemon
Landis, Mr. and Mrs. John Shoenberger,
Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Hostetter, Mr. and
Mrs. Phares Hostetter, Mr. and Mrs.
A. K. Rohrer. Mr. and Mrs. J. de Barrie
Heinitsh, Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Herr,
Harry K. Rohrer, Chas. B. Hen-, S. S.
Pennock, W. B. Girvin, J. P. Seibold,
T. J. Nolan, B. F. Barr, Mrs. Geo. Gold-
bach and Miss Carrie Steekmen.

ident Harding is late flowering, and bears
large blooms of cerise suffused with
orange. It is a self color throughout, the
standard and wings being practically iden-
tical in shade. It weathers well in prac-
tically all conditions, and is a wonderful-
ly strong grower.

The variety was raised at the Flora-
dale Farms of California, and brought
East this year for the first time where it
was tested at the Fordhook Farms. It
has there come absolutely true to type, a
corroboration of the English trials.

Owing to the small amount of stock
available, seed will not be offered to the
trade until January, 1924.

Newport, R. I.

Horticultural Society Meeting

A regular meeting of above society
was held on the 25th inst.

A premium list was presented by the
Executive Committee with but few
changes from that of last year. New
classes, however, were added for cut
flowers of Dahlias and Gladiolus; in the
latter encouragement is given to the
Primulinus hybrids. The Henry A.
Drew prizes are offered for best six
blooms Peony Flowered Dahlias.

Ex-Governor Beekman's special is, as
usual, offered for novelty in best table
decoration. Table decoration prizes are
offered for both the gardener and chil-
dren classes, to consist of wild flower,
natural foliage and grasses.

It was voted to hold the show Sept.
6 and 7 at the First Presbyterian
Church on Broadway.

The Committee on Ball reported prog-
ress ; this is to be held at Newport Beach,
Sept. 14, the proceeds of which go
toward the Winter lecture course.

The Committee on Awards were di-
rected to examine and pass on School
Gardens on July 31.

Wedding Makes Business

The marriage of Mrs. Arthur
Scott Burden to Guy F. Cary made
quite a little stir last Monday for the
trade. So little time between the an-
nouncement and the event was there,
that the general trade had to hustle to
get the needed material on hand. Lei-
kens & Co. had the decoration at the
bride's home, which was quite elaborate ;
Columbia Roses were the leading flower,
and American Beauty were also used to
good effect.

On the tables, Aehimenes and Francoa
were the principal decoration.

W. A. Burpee & Co. Win Only
Sweet Pea Award at British Trials

As announced elsewhere the floral com-
mittee of the National Sweet Pea So-
ciety, at the trials on the grounds! of the
University of Reading, granted only one
award of merit. One hundred five new
varieties were tested, the award going
to an American novelty. W. Atlee Bur-
pee Co., Philadelphia, are the fortunate
owners. It is an American raised seed-
ling, and the award is the first one made
by the society for a variety raised outside
of Europe.

David. Burpee received a letter of con-
gratulation from the secretary of the so-
ciety last week and he at once cabled
to President Harding for permission to
name the new Pea after him. This per-
mission was received Aug. 1 and will, by
the time of this publication, be received
for announcement in England.

Mrs. Warren G. Harding, the early
flowering ''Harding Blue" variety, was in-
troduced last year by this company; Pres-

Wholesale Prices

Roses — Columbia, Premier, Ophelia,
Butterfly, American Legion, $3 to $18
per 100; white Killarney, Kaiserin, $4
to $15; Carnations, $1.50 to $3; Snap-
dragon, $1.50 to $4; Cornflower, 75c. to
$1.50; Gladiolus, $2 to $5; Blue Lace
Flower, $3 to $4; Delphinium, $3 to $5;
Larkspur, $2 to $4; Easter Lilies, $10
to $18; Calendula, $1 to $3.

The Market

The intense heat and the continued
dry spell has played "hob" with outdoor
flowers and the quality of the stock is not
nearly so good as usual. Gladioli still are
the dominant flowers and the daily cut is
very heavy. The price is below cost of
production; they are selling in the stores
as low as 50c. a doz.

The second crop of Delphinium is here
and sells readily as anything; blue is al-
ways a good selling color. Larkspur in a
variety of colors is a very showy addi-
tion to the Summer garden arrivals and
some excellent long stemmed stock sells
readily.

The quality of the Roses is decidedly
off, both flower and foliage showing ef-
fects of the heat. Kaiserin Augusta Vic-
toria alone looks like quality stock. Car-
nations are smaller and in low demand.
Calendula and Snaps and the popular
Blue Lace Flowers are about the only
other flowers that are sought after.

Greens are normal and the quality of
everything except plumosus is good. Plants
are still scarce. There are a few Cycla-
men and Gloxinias and some Hydrangeas
but plenty of foliage plants.

Florists Club Picnic

The annual Florists Club picnic
held at Willowbeaeh Park on Wednesday,
July 26 , was a huge success. There was
a good attendance and there were plenty
of events for both grownups and children.
The penny scramble for kids was a riot
as was the tug pf war.

The ball game was the feature, and the
wholesalers, captained by Walter Priest,
and the retailers, under the leadership of
Chas. Graham, put up a good game.

Florists Club Meeting

The nomination of officers for 1923
will be the feature of the next meeting
of the Cleveland Florists Club to be held
at the Hollenden, Aug. 7, at 8 p.m. A
large turnout is desired as this is the
most important event of the year. Don't
fail to be on hand to help the progressives
to put a live man of ideas in the chair.
It is highly important that Cleveland, whose
horticulture importance is established, be
represented in the national gathering of
the S. A. F. by a man who is capable of
making his presence felt. As president
of the Florists Club, he becomes a di-
rector under affiliation of the S. A. F.
and O. H.

Attend the meeting and bring some one
with you. Charles Imbrie Kent.

The Cleveland office of the American
Greenhouse Mfg. Co., opened last week,
with F. J. Impey in charge. The first
order was from the Rockport Greenhouse
Co., West Park, Ohio, for three standard
steel frame houses, 37ft.x575ft. These
houses will be devoted entirely to vege-
table growing. Looks like the A. G. M.
Co. has dropped into a good locality. It
also looks as if vegetable growing under
glass was in no danger of eclipse, despite
California and Florida.

Pawtucket, R. I.- — Herbert A. and Mrs.
Leach are touring Canada and due to
return Aug. 15.

The Market

Aug. 1. — The wholesale cut flower
market is in a deplorable condition. The
•causes are quite apparent, namely: The
steadily increasing arrivals of Roses and
of such leading Summer stock as Asters
and Gladioli; and the relatively negligible
demand not only for these but for all
other staple Summer flowers now arriv-
ing.

American Beauty Roses are in larger
supply, but there is no corresponding in-
crease in the demand. Special grade
blooms are selling at from 15c. to 40c.
each, and the other grades at proportion-
ate prices. Other Roses also show an in-
creasing supply and a sluggish demand.
Top grade blooms are bringing from $2
to §8 a 100 in general, but Keys are real-
izing 35c each. No 2 grade blooms are
ifetching 50e. to $1 per 100.

Carnations from the old plants are
practically out of the market, and as yet
we have not seen any blooms from new
plants.

Cattleyas are in extremely small sup-
ply, but the demand is equally limited.
The range of price is from 50c. to $1.25,
■and occasionally $1.50 each. There are
small arrivals of Gardenias, which show an
improvement in quality; these are sell-
ing at from $2 to $3 per doz. There is an
abundant supply of both white and pink
Lilies. These are moving out slowly, the
former at from $10 to $12 per 100 and the
latter at from $5 to $10. Lily of the
Valley is not in large supply, but there is
enough to meet the small demand, at
prices ranging from $1 to $5 per 100.

In miscellaneous flowers Asters and
Gladioli are the leaders. The arrivals of ■
both are extremely large, and since the
demand, compared to the supply is quite
limited, low prices prevail. Gladioli are
selling at from 50c. to $2, and occasion-
ally $3 per 100 for some extra fine blooms
of the variety Schwaben, and Asters being
about the same price. It is, however, im-
-possible to clean up the arrivals of these
-flowers at any price; consequently, many
-of them go to waste.

There is a moderate supply of other
-seasonable flowers such as Larkspur, Gyp-
sophila, Gaillardias, Buddleia, Golden
Glow and Delphinium and an extremely
large supply of Zinnias. The demand for
all kinds of greens is very sluggish.

Vacations

Miss Grace Durkin, secretary and
head bookkeeper for J. S. Fenrich, 43 W.
18th st., will leave the city on her annual
-vacation about Aug. 5. Jennie Seliga,
Miss Durkin's assistant, has just returned
from a two weeks' vacation. James Rutig,
manager for Mr. Fenrich, returned on Sat-
urday of last week from a four weeks'
vacation. Part of it he spent in an auto
trip, and a considerable portion of it
camping out at Fort Montgomery on the
Hudson, playing ball every Sunday at
Bear Mountain. Mr. Rutig returned look-
ing fit for the year's work before him.
Alfred Schuette, salesman for J. K.
Allen, 43 W. 18th st., is enjoying a two
weeks' vacation on Long Island. Wm.
Rogers, bookkeeper for the Henshaw
Floral Co., is also on his annual vacation.
William Doyle, too, of Doyle & Booth,
116 W. 28th st., is taking a few weeks'
vacation.

A telegram from Secretary JohnYoung
reports his arrival in Kansas City on

Saturday of last week and that everything
there in connection with 'the S. A. F.
convention is running smoothly.

M. A. Bowe, the well known and popular
retail florist of 332 Fifth ave., while
bathing at Rockaway Beach on Sunday
afternoon, July 23, met with a painful
accident. As he was about to leave the '
water, a big wave brought in a piece of
timber, which struck him on the side of
the head, rendering him unconscious and
inflicting a painful scalp wound, in which
six stitches had to be taken. Quick as-
sistance in getting Mr. Bowe out of the
water, and prompt surgical attendance
probably saved his life. He is now suffi-
ciently recovered so as to again be at his
place of business, where the store force
is fairly busy with funeral and steamer
orders.

It is reported that several of the lead-
ing retail florists of this city, with whom
Allan Ryan, whose business failure has
been recently reported in the daily press,
had accounts, are affected to a greater or
lesser extent.

S. Handing of the S. Hanfling Co., 131-
133 W. 28th St., during his recent sojourn
in Europe attended, on May 25, the Pas-
sion Play at Oberammergau, Bavaria, the
performance lasting from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Mr. Hanfling brought back with him a
printed copy of the play, also pictures of
the prominent actors.

Henshaw Floral Co. Supply Department

We recently accepted an invitation
from Charles Foreman, manager of the
supply department of the Henshaw Floral
Co., at 43 W. 18th St., to inspect this
company's recent importations on display
in Booth 12. We found there a full line
of imported terra cotta ware in the form
of vases, jardinieres, pedestals, bowls and
window boxes in many pleasing patterns
and colors. Also a large line of imported
Bursley decorated china, and the cele-
brated Moorcraft luster ware, bowls, vases,
etc. We also saw the latest novelty of
the Henshaw supply department, namely,
the "Rainbow Rubber" mats, in many
sizes, with raised margins, on which
vases, jardinieres and baskets can be set
when used as table decorations. Other
new importations just arrived will soon
be on sale. The new florist supply catalog
of this company was ready for distribu-
tion Aug. 1. The firm will make an ex-
hibit of its pottery and other wares at
the S. A. F. and O. H. convention at
Kansas City, Aug. 15 to 17.

Florists and Gardeners Ass'n Outing

The Florists and Gardeners of the
Lutheran Cemetery Association, Middle
VDlage, L. I., held their annual outing
at Whitestone, L. I., on Tuesday, July 25.
It was largely attended and a thoroughly
enjoyable occasion. In athletics the
principal event was the ball game between

Mrs. Wm. Rennie, widow of the late
Wm. Rennie, pioneer seedsman, died on
July 21. She married Wm. Rennie in
1862. They settled on the Rennie Seed
Farm at Markham. This farm was award-
ed the silver medal as the best managed
and cleanest farm in the Province. In 1870
they moved to Toronto, and it was in that
year he founded the great seed business
which now bears his name. Since the
death of her husband, on July 24, 1910,
she has lived on Ellis ave., Swansea, where
the grounds were a delight to all Toronto
flower lovers. The offices, stores and
warehouses were closed all day, July 24,

Canada at Large

M. Ofield & Sons, Ltd., Grimsby, Ont.,
have become an incorporated company,
capitalized at $400,000, to take over the
florists' business now carried on by M-
Ofield & Sons at Grimsby. They will con-
tinue the business of growing, cultivating
and producing flowers, vines, plants, trees,
bushes, all kinds of shrubbery, etc.

E. B. Hamilton and his staff of the
West Floral Co., London, held their an-
nual outing at Port Talbot, on Lake Erie,
near Port Stanley, to which they traveled
by motor car. They had a splendid after-
noon with sumptuous repasts at noon and
evening. A pleasant evening drive home,
all full (even the moon) with the day's
enjoyment, ended a delightful outing.

The Canadian Horticultural Council, of
which L. F. Burroughs is secretary, is
taking up actively the question of plant
registration. The machinery already
started by H. J. Moore, chairman of the
Plant Registration Committee of the
C. F. G. A., will be appropriated and the
work done on a" large and comprehensive
scale. Varieties will be standardized, and
the work of amateurs as well as profes-
sionals will be recognized. The affiliated
societies, which include the C. F. G. A. and
the Gardeners and Florists Association of
Ontario, have a combined membership of
75,000, and all are directly interested and
are supporting the scheme.

Red rust is prevalent on wild and cul-
tivated plants in Saskatchewan this sea-
son, according to W. P. Fraser, officer in
charge of the division of botany in the
Dominion Laboratory of Plant Pathology,
at the University of Saskatoon. In re-
ferring to Roses he says: "The Rose
bushes are also showing abundant red
rust. The Rose rusts are closely related to
those on the Cinquefoil, but they attack
onlv the Roses. Where Roses are grown

your
sales

One important detail of your
business has an important
bearing on increased sales. It
is the containers in which cut
flowers are displayed. Dis-
riminating florists now use
Fibrotta" Vases. They look
like polished mahogany but
are inexpensive. Water stays
cool in them a long time.
They do not chill the water
when placed in
your refrigera-
ator since they
are non-conduc-
tors of heat and

extensively these rusts are often very
troublesome to growers. Happily this rust
never attacks cereals or other plants.

The Buckthorn, an ornamental shrub,
is showing yellow spots on the leaves, due
to rust, prevalent in Southern Saskatche-
wan. Mr. Fraser advises that Buckthorn
should be destroyed, as the rust spreads
to Oats. The Barberry, another orna-
mental shrub, carries a heavy" stem rust,
the enemy of Wheat. Most of the Bar-
berries have been destroyed, but those
remaining are now heavily rusted. The
Japanese Barberry does not carry rust.
Mr. Peacock and T. Davis of the Dale
Estate, Brampton, and Miss Dorothy
Davis, will attend the C. F. G. A. con-
vention at Montreal. G. C. K.

Proceedings of 31st Annual Meeting

Nearly 100 pages 8y2in. x 6in. are re-
quired for the records of the 31st annual
meeting held at Hartford; Conn., Jan. 25
to 27. These records are highly interest-
ing and those who took part in the ex-
hibition and doings will surely enjoy re-
freshing their memories with the ani-
mated discussion that took place in the
Foot Guards Armory. One cannot help
thinkin, however, that a record of this
kind should also contain some details of
the show apart from the mere list of
awards and also some notes on the social
side.

In a great "No More War" parade,
which took place in London last week,
nearly every woman carried a nosegay of
garden flowers, Snapdragons, Daisies,
Roses and the like, and as they passed the
National Cenotaph they halted and laid
these reverently at its foot, as a saluta-
tion to the war dead. So, thus we see
flowers well do their part in ways almost
innumerable.

New Brunswick, N. J. — The Ex-

wish him a speedy recovery.

Aug. 1.— "Chicago Walks Today" So
say the morning papers. The long
threatened local transportation strike be-
gan at 4 a.m. So far as the wholesale
cut flower market is concerned, since the
strike had to come, it is as well for it
to come now that the Summer lull is on,
as at any other time. The city may
sweat in contention, but the wholesale
market will go on, probably not as well
as it would like to, but as well as it can.
If it has to go visit Mephistopheles for
awhile, this is the accepted time — just
let him have it.

The mermaids who loll on the beaches
and the nymphs moseying along the shore
don't wear corsage bouquets; their rai-
ment is too scant to admit them. Under
such conditions no one is heard to mutter
a mutt, mumble a mumb, or murmur a
murm. The best of spirit prevails, glad-
ness and Gladioli around everywhere. The
growers have their trucks in which to
send their stock to the city; the retailers
have their delivery wagons for use in
buying and delivering. The railroads are
running, and express wagons are constant-
ly on the job. Mail and telegraph orders
are getting the best attention and, for
the time being, the market is not seriously
affected. The strike, of course, is an
impediment to business, but the florists
can stand it as well as any other class of
tradespeople.

The supply of stock as a whole is quite
large, but has narrowed in variety. Gladi-
oli, Roses and Asters constitute fully 90
per cent of all that is offered. Gladioli,
to a large extent, predominate at all the
stores. There never was as fine a lot, and
the varieties offered have increased over
those of past seasons. Many striking va-
rieties are among those offered in quan-
tity. Pendleton, King and Myrtle are
leaders in point of sales. As the supply
is large in comparison with the demand,
the price is low, much of the stock moving
at from $1 to $5 per 100.

There are a good many Roses, but the
quality is lacking, and really good stock
is not plentiful. They are mostly cut
from young plants, and stems are short
with prices low. Asters are in good sup-
ply, and the quality is improving; they
are selling at from 50e. to $3 per 100.
There are a good many Lilies, with
giganteums in largest supply. There are
short stemmed rubrums for designs, and
long ones for spray work. Then there
are a few auratums at most of the stores.
The last of the Peonies came out of
storage the past week and are still to be
found in the refrigerators of three of the
wholesalers. There are not many Sweet
Peas, but enough orchids and Valley for
the demand. There are many odds and
ends of garden and wild flowers, among
which Liatris is most notable, with Cen-
taureas, Daisies, Nigella, and plenty of
Gypsophila. There is an abundance, of
green goods, which moves only in propor-
tion to the amount of flowers sold.

What's Doing and Who's Doing It

Thos. Mallinson of Keighly, Eng., is
visiting his son, Ed. Mallinson, manager
of the Fleischmann Floral Co. on Jack-
son blvd. This is Mr. Mallinson's first
visit to the United States and he says
Chicago is a wonderful city.

Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Munz of Dubuque,

la., are in the city on a shopping and
pleasure trip combined. They will attend
the Pageant of Progress exposition while
here.

A. I. Simmons, proprietor of an upto-
date flower store on 63d St., is in charge
of the State Board of Health Depart-
ment's exhibit on the Municipal pier. He
has previously been connected with the
department in many ways and was until
recently commissary sergeant of the Sec-
ond Illinois Regiment National Guard.
The Simmons store is managed by Joe
Bieber during Mr. Simmons' absence.

Geo. Ball of Glenn Ellyn is making his
preparations to attend the S. A. F. Con-
vention at Kansas City. He proposes to
motor through in two days, taking his
boys and one of the men from the green-
houses.

T. E. Waters, manager of the Ove Gnatt
store at 30 E. Randolph St., effected
quite a satisfactory sale Monday. The
entire line of sample baskets and pre-
pared material was closed out to one
customer. As a complete line of new and
uptodate samples of everything for the
Fall trade is already packed for shipping
from La Porte, Ind., Mr. Waters was
fortunate to dispose of the stock on hand
and so make room for the new. The latter
will be installed this week in time for
the many visitors who will visit here go-
ing to and coming from the convention.

J. W. Sharpe of A. Henderson & Co. re-
turned Monday from a two weeks' vaca-
tion spent in Canada his former home, he
says the country is looking fine and all
crops promise an abundant yield.

L. A. Cauthorn of the Cauthorn Floral
Gardens, San Antonio, Tex., is spending
the week in the city combining business
with pleasure. He is an extensive grower
of Gladioli and is very much interested in
the newer varieties that are now on ex-
hibition on the Chicago wholesale market.
J. P. McCarthy of the Shearer & McCar-
thy Corp., manufacturers and importers
of florists supplies with headquarters at
Camden, N. J., spent a few days in the
city traveling toward Kansas City, the
immediate goal of all salesmen who offer
goods either closely or remotely allied
with the florists' industry.

Geo. Mohn of the E. C. Amling Co. is
on a "business and pleasure" motoring
trip through Iowa. Bert Chadwick is
again on the job after enjoying a pleas-
ant two weeks' vacation. At the Amling
store Monday was noted an interesting
display of the newer varieties of Gladioli
many of which are not yet in com-
merce. Among these were Incontestable,
Byron L. Smith, Golden Measure, Crim-
son Glory, Black Pansy, Blue Isle, Mrs.
Dr. Norton and Joe Coleman.

Paul Klingsporn of the Chicago Flower
Growers returned Monday from an en-
joyable vacation spent in the northern
part of Michigan. He motored all the
way. A large delegation from the Flower
Growers is planning to go to the conven-
tion at Kansas City and a party of sev-
eral autos is proposed.

M. Barker, chairman of the transporta-
tion committee of the Chicago Florists
Club, has mailed to all members the full
itinerary for the trip to the convention.
It gives all particulars, time, place, fare,
including Pullman, fares, and stopover
privileges. President Joseph Kohout,
whose photo adorns the notice, says "Come
by all means."

Members of the Chicago Flower Grow-
ers Association and their friends recent-
ly enjoyed their annual picnic at Paul
Schramm's grove in Park Ridge. An
occasion of great fun and feasting is re-
ported by those who attended.

C. 0. Borgmeier of the Premier
Poultry Manure Co. is off on a vacation,
but will return in time for E. H. Humis-
ton to spend a week at the convention,
where he will combine his vacation with
that of meeting his friends in the trade.

Hans Jepson returned the past week
from a vacation which he spent in Minne-

Hilmer V. Swenson & Co., advertising
agents, who are well known as the pub-
licity promoters of the F. T. D. and the
S. A. F., are moving this week to 504
N. Dearborn St., which is the Boyce Bldg.
One entire floor will be occupied by the
company, giving many times more space
than available at the old stand.

The news of the untimely death of J. E.
Matthewson of Sheboygan, Wis., reached
the city Wednesday. He was a frequent
visitor here and has many friends in the
trade. All sympathize with his family
in their great loss.

At the Aurora State Fair, which begins
Aug. 21, the Department of Horticulture
will be well represented. The sum of
$30,000 is offered in prizes. W. H. Hutch-
inson of the Department of Floriculture
of the University of Illinois, together with
A. T. Hey of Maywood, will act as judge
on this occasion.

H. Hansen of the Jos. Foerster Co.,
Joe Marks of A. Henderson & Co., Geo.
Mohn of the E. C. Amling Co., M. Mon-
blatt of the American Bulb Co., and
Ed Goldenstein and W. Tomlinson of
Vaughan's Seed Store were the Chicago
representatives at the meeting of the Wis-
consin State Florists Association, all re-
porting a good time and royal treatment
by the florists of Oskosh, in which city
the meeting was held.

Ollie Zech, with wife and friends, mo-
tored Saturday to Delevan,- Wis., to spend
the week-end in the woods in that beauti-
ful section of the State. He proposes to
make many more of these week-end trips
before the Summer is over.

M. N. Tyler, manager of the supply
department of the Poehlmann Bros. Co.,
returned Monday from a trip to his old
home in Akron and Cleveland, Ohio. He
is preparing an extensive exhibit for the
convention at Kansas City, where he will
be in attendance with an efficient retinue
of salesmen.

John Young, the genial secretary of the
S. A. F., spent Saturday in the city on
his way to Kansas City, where he will re-
main until after the convention. He was
shown over the city by Geo. Asmus, calling
on the principal business houses, and in-
cidentally visited the Pageant of Progress
Exposition on the Municipal Pier.

The Midsummer Flower Show, under
the auspices of the North Shore Horticul-
tural Society and the Lake Forest Garden
Club, was held at the Gorton School, Lake
Forest, July 29 and 30. Tickets to the
show entitled the holders thereof to visit
several of the large estates in the neigh-
borhood noted for their fine display of
Summer flowers. At the June show the
estates visited at that time were not open
to the public on this occasion.

that the R. H. S. has held no Summer
show, the 1922 was particularly rich.

Alex Dickson & Sons put up a group
surpassing even the N. R. S. display; in
fact, the trade displays all through were
equal if not superior to the Rose show in
London.

It is interesting to learn that Premier
held up in good shape the entire four daya.
Los Angeles was also in great form, both
being shown by Stuart Low & Co.

Premier, it seems, is fast winning a

"JAY EM" says:

A Fish Story

A Chicago florist took a friend from Minne-
sota to fish with him on the Municipal Pier,
lending him all the necessary tackle.

After half an hour or so the man from Minne-
sota asked: "How much does these little red
things cost?"

"I suppose you mean the float," replied the
florist. "They cost about fifty cents."

"Well I owe you fifty cents then," replied
the man from Minnesota. "The one you lent
me has just sunk."

The Market

Aug. 1.— Up to this morning there
was little fault to find with the market.
Of course, things went on in a sort of
humdrum way, but at that much better
than might be expected at this time of
the season. There were even lively flut-
ters, as, for instance, on the last of the
month, when stocks were nearly cleaned
up and prices took an upward swing. To-
day the market is about as flat as it ever
can be, and Roses, Gladioli and Asters
are accumulating in great quantities. For
a week past the weather has behaved
pretty well, no rains and the temperature
never what one might call obnoxious. The
shipping trade to beaches and Summer
resorts takes care of a tremendous amount
of stock day after day.

Roses are arriving in overabundant sup-
ply, with the exception of reds, of which
Crusader is about the only variety to be
found. Taken as a whole, there are some
pretty fair Roses, especially Columbia,
Butterfly, Premier and Ward. There is
a fair to good demand from retailers for
the best grades, and prices run from 4c.
to 12c. Fancies bring more. Mediocre and
poor goods, of course, have to fight to
bring anything at all.

Gladioli rule the roost as far as quan-
tity is concerned. Probably two-thirds of
all the Glads, coming to the market are
Halley, which variety is way down in
price, although these last few days not
so badly as a week ago, when the street
boys offered them for almost nothing.
Today this variety brings $1 for from
three to four dozen, if good. Common
sorts vary from $1 to $3 per 100. The
better sorts, like America, Schwaben,
Dawn, etc., are sought for and bring 75c.
to $1 per doz. There is not a great dis-
play of varieties as yet. The Primulinus
sorts are also rather scarce. The quality
of all Gladioli is very good, thanks to a
propitious growing season, but many short
spikes are brought in by the large grow-
ers, who are growing the plants for the
corms.

Asters are beginning to pile up rather
too freely. They are not showing much
merit, one way or another, so far, and
the returns are nothing to brag of either.
Three cents is top price for the best, and
from that down to 2c, lc. and less.

Sweet Peas are wanted, but almost un-
obtainable. A few straggling lots of Car-

nations may be noticed, which nobody
wants. Lilies of all varieties go begging,
too, and there are quite a few of them
offered, such as auratums, giganteums,
white and pink speciosum and a few
others. Delphiniums are in fair supply
and find a fair demand at three bunches
for $1. They don't compare in size with
those of a month or two ago.

Of miscellaneous flowers there is the
usual supply and a wide choice of va-
rieties, among them many everlastings,
which find a steady sale. Lily of the
Valley sells slowly at 8c, and orchids are,
so to say, out of season altogether. There
is a sufficient supply of all sorts of greens
with a nominal demand.

Here and There

Gustave Thommen, the Eastern rep-
resentative of The Florists Exchange,
has returned from a three weeks' vaca-
tion, which he spent in a ramble, by bus,
in Florida. The trip took him by water,
from Boston to Jacksonville, up the St.
John's River to Sanford and from there
by easy bus stages across Central Flor-
ida to Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sulphur
Springs, Bradentown, Oneco, etc, and
return by another route. The traveler
stopped over for a day or two in the
larger towns, like Sanford ; Orlando ;
Lakeland, Tampa, etc., and became ac-
quainted with the growing of Oranges,
Celery, Strawberries ; with the mining
of phosphates and a hundred other in-
teresting features so that the outing de-
veloped' into an interesting and instruc-
tive affair. Mr. Thommen visited the flo-
rists and nurseries in the various towns;
among these F. W. Fletcher's place in
Orlando, Reasoner Brothers in Oneco ;
the Knull Floral Co., in Tampa, and
many others. An account of Mr. Thorn-
men's trip may be expected in the col-
umns of The Exchange in the near fu-
ture.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Penn are taking
life easy for the next few weeks at Ja-
maica Point Camp, Belgrade Lakes, Me.,
where the ten pound salmon are always
ready to give the sportsman a run for
his bait.

The annual Gladiolus exhibition of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society will
be held in Horticultural Hall on Aug. 12
and 13, together with the exhibition of
the New England Gladiolus Society. On
account of the extraordinarily propitious
growing season for Gladioli, a record
show should be the outcome, more so be-
cause there is a wealth of valuable and
attractive prizes waiting for competition.
A. S. Mohegan, florist, of Cambridge,
was married last Tuesday and, with his
bride, is spending a six weeks' honey-
moon in Canada.

Robert Koppelman and wife have re-
turned from a month's vacation in the
coke regions of Pennsylvania.

Henry R. Comley, on Park St., is giv-
ing his store a thorough overhauling and
renovating, finishing up the job with a
coat of glossy white paint. Mr. Corn-
ley's son, Lester and family, are expected
on a visit from their home in Virginia
next week.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co., of Philadel-
phia, Pa., stopped in Boston for a few
days on his way through New England,
visiting his many business colleagues.

Edward J. Rogean, salesman at the
Flower Exchange Market, who is on his
vacation in St. John's, New Brunswick,
is laid up in the hospital on account of
an automobile accident.

Just Penn's Way

That, at "Penn's" store, the matter of
service is considered paramount, no mat-

ter what may interfere or what costs
may have to be incurred for even a small
order, was beautifully illustrated one day
last week, when an. order for cut flowers
to be delivered on board the Boston Hos-
pital ship was executed. By mistake,
the order called for delivery on board
the steamer at sailing time which was
mentioned to be ten o'clock. The boat,
hoAvever, sailed at nine and was gone
one hour by the time the messenger ar-
rived at the dock with the flowers. After
a number of unsuccessful attempts, even
by an appeal to the police boat, to reach
the steamer, a motor launch was finally
engaged and, after a hot chase, the flow-
ers were delivered on board the hospital
Ship promptly at ten. The amount of the
order, by the way, was an insignificant
item, compared with the expense of fill-
ing it.

John Davis, salesman at Welch Bros.
Co., is enjoying his vacation in Canada.
While in the store of Wax Bros, on
Temple Place, the other day, the re-
porter witnessed the arrival of a cable
order for flowers from Spain and, at the
same time, the sending of a cable order
to Paris, for flowers to be delivered on
board a steamer leaving Havre for
America. This latter order, as developed
later, was telephoned from Paris to
Havre and reached the steamer on time.
Wax Bros, report an excellent Summer
business, and are displaying in the store
a most attractive assortment of glass and
crockery ware in the latest designs.
Henry Wax has left on a month's vaca-
tion on Winnipesaukee lake in New
Hampshire, while Miss E. Spike, the
bookkeeper, is sojourning at Lenox,
Mass., and from there is to take a trip
over the Mohawk trail and through the
White Mountains. Herbert H. Hartford
and Miss Marjorie Hatch are to return
this week from their respective vaca-
tions of one month each.

At "Penn's" the vacation season is in
full swing. Someone is going or return-
ing every week. This week Mr. and Mrs.
Joe White are leaving for Mount Vernon,
N. H.

Miss Sally Friedman is spending a few
weeks at Narragansett Pier, R. I. Izzy
Halpin has made tracks for Wolfsboro,
N. H., where he is camping out. Izzy
spent about a day, before departing ;
in buying golf stockings and sneakers,
having a "heck" of a time finding what
he wanted and then not getting it in the
end, for when he put them on after get-
tig home, he found they were a mile too
big. Well, says Izzy, I don't mind, they
look sporty and I think they are worth
the price.

Abe Daniels, former store manager at
"Penn's," with his wife and father-in-
law, made a visit at the store on their
way from their home in Buffalo to Maine
and the White Mountains.

Henry M. Robinson tells me that he
has bought himself a pair of rubber heels
and is going to walk out of his store. He
says he don't care a rap where he is
going as long as it is to Green Harbor,
Mass., where he has a magnificent Sum-
mer home and where his family have
some good eats waiting for him. His old-
est sons, Charles and Henry, are also
there to welcome pa, having left Colum-
bia University and Dartmouth College
for their Summer vacation at home.
Henry hasn't got fingers and toes enough
to count all his children and grandchil-
dren, and he is proud of the fact.

Thomas F. Galvin is resting up at
his Summer home at Siasconset, Mass.,
Nantucket Island. Where he gets the
rest, playing golf all day, is some puzzle.
The boys at the market, meaning those
that have not flown the coop, are con-
sidering plans for the outing, sometime
during the latter part of August. Moe
Liebman and Wm. Thurston are the lead-
ing spirits on the committee. They can
be counted on to hatch out something
worth while, even if William is a rank
prohibitionist.

Johnson Knight, manager of the Co-
operative Flower Market, is back from
a two weeks' rest at Marblehead Beach.
Fanny B. Fishelson, daughter of
Nathan Fishelson, the Copley florist,
sailed for England on the steamer Ma-
jestic, Saturday the 29th. The young
lady is a graduate of Boston University,
1920, and will visit relatives in London,
afterwards taking ship again for Jaffa,
Palestine, where she will study Hebrew
at the new Hebrew University. Miss
Fishelson is accompanied by Miss Fanny
B. Smith, who is the daughter of Smith
the Florist of Providence, R. I. Miss

Gustave Thommen, the indefatigabl
representative of The Exchange, the ma:
who never sleeps or lies down on his jol
has been taking a vacation away down i
Florida. This will be news to the ma
jority of Mr. Thommen's friends as thi
is just about the first time in his life h
has ever been guilty of going off duty. H
wrote from Jacksonville and other Florid
points to the effect that he was having
wonderful time; that Florida was a gres
State, full of possibilities and that tl'
florists there were putting up more glat
and doing well. He ate all sorts of fruh

One of the daily papers here recent
attributed much credit to Wm. Doughert
the park department engineer and desig
er of the new flower beds around tl
Reed monument on the Western Prom
nade, as well as to Irving Stewart, wl
planted these with rare ability. Ft
thering this newspaper commendation,
subscriber writes us of Mr. Stewart th
he has been many years in Boston wi
different firms, as well as some two yea
in the Boston market. He claims that *
Stewart has done much toward imprt
ing the appearance of the parks and pro
enades in Portland and that that gent
man's services are much appreciated
many of its citizens. We appreciate ve
much receiving notes of this charact
from readers and can endorse all that c
informant, Mr. Wallace, tells us of i
Stewart's ability, ourselves having a lit

A New Hybrid Rambler

Kew Rambler is the name given to a
brid raised at Kew, London, from the
linese species, R. Soulieana, and the
Tiety Hiawatha. The foliage is par-
'illy glaucous and the flower trusses are
iger than those of either parent. Ac-
ally the color must closely resemble the
)g Rose, R. Canina. As shown at the
' H. S. meeting, it was elegant and free

Philadelphia

We are not statisticians, but on a rough
estimate a statement that the market was
twice as bad last week as it was the week
before would hardly be out of the way.
Aug. 1 saw the market flooded with
Gladioli, Asters and Roses. Demand is
good for the time of year. It is simply
a case of overproduction.

Unfortunately, we can prophesy no
change. While Gladioli are undoubtedly
more than half over, and while several
shippers have sent word that the first
week in August would end their ship-
ments, yet there will even then be quan-
tities of this stock available. The only
probable shortening will be in the quality
stock.

Asters — the early varieties — are coming
to an end. Normally it would be about
two weeks before the later varieties ar-
rive in quantity, but some have been seen
on the market already, and it may easily
occur that the flow of these blooms re-
mains undisturbed. And as a climax —
or anticlimax — the first Dahlias are be-
ginning to show their heads on the market.
It is estimated that they will be a week
or more earlier than usual this year.

Roses are about the same as last week.
Lilies are perhaps shortening a little.
Valley is in plenty, however, and ship-
ments arrive daily.

The stock of outdoor flowers generally
is immense, due, no doubt, to the excellent
growing conditions.

"Growers must grow Asters and Gladioli
better than these flowers grow in the

Asters

are much improved both as to quan-
tity and quality — plenty of medium and
short white for funeral work, with a
good selection of longer white, also pur-
ple and pink, all of choice quality.

With these and Gladioli, they are
two splendid Summer flowers that we
are unusually strong on.

average backyard before they can expect
to sell them," said one wholesaler. "There
is some good stock, of course, and demand
for this is pretty fair. But where there
is a limited demand, more attention must
be paid to quality. Quantity is useless.
The man in the street will not pay money
for flowers no better than he has in his

News Notes

The Jos. G. Neidinger Co. received
last week a shipment of 58 cases of Christ-
mas baskets bought on Mr. Neidinger's
recent trip to Europe.

J. J. Habermehl's Sons were busy Aug.
1 with funeral work.

The H. Bayersdorfer Co. promises the
trade a surprise this season in the way of
a combination box. Particulars will be
announced shortly.

Henry F. Michell left England and ar-
rived in Holland, July 30, according to
recent advices. He will visit France,
Belgium, Germany and Switzerland. He is
accompanied by Mrs. Michell and daugh-
ter.

After 32 years' of absence, Mr. Young
of Young & Fletcher, Gait, Ont., Canada,
visited Philadelphia last week. He was
born in Germantown, and when he left
this city that section was "a prairie."
Many surprises were encountered else-
where throughout the city. Mr. Young
was accompanied by his wife and daugh-
ter.

Baseball

A meeting was scheduled to be held
at the S. S. Pennock Co., Aug. 2 at 4 p.m.,
to discuss several matters, most important
of which, perhaps, were the several pro-
tested games. Up to Aug. 1 the following
games had been officially protested: July
17, Independents; July 24, Bickmore;
July 27, Niessen. All protests were against
the Retailers. The ground of protest in
all cases was substantially the same, that
the rules for qualifying players had been
broken.

Further, there were several games
where decision appeared not to have been
finally rendered by the umpire. These
were also scheduled for discussion and pos-
sibly decision.

Last week's games follow: July 27 —
Bayersdorfer 13, Independents 8; Bick-
more 10, Niessen 7; Craig 15, Dreer 11;
Pennock vs. Retailers (postponed). July
31 — Craig 11, Bickmore 4; Independents
35, Pennock 19; Bayersdorfer 27, Niessen
5; Retailers 13, Dreer 7.

The feature of the week is, perhaps,
the defeat of Bickmore at the hands of
Craig. This is the second defeat for

Bickmore, but the first defeat at the hand*,
of the Retailers has been protested. Mat-
thews is to be complimented on his game
with Dreer, July 27. He pitched with
his arm in bandages.

Bad defeats fell to the lots of Pennock .
and Niessen. In both cases the reason
lay in the fact that the full teams were ■
not available. Pennock's pitcher and
Niessen's captain were included in the •
absentees.

The defeat of the Independents by
Berger All Stars (a team composed ex-
clusively of Bergers and their immediate
family) may be laid to the door of lack
of pitchers. Another game, however, is.
scheduled for this week, and it is hoped,
with a full team for I. F. C.

Reading (Pa.) Florists Association

Ninth Annual Picnic

The annual family picnic of the Reading
Florists Association was held Friday,
July 28, at the Eagles Home, Mt. Penn.
The association had as guests the Lan-
caster County Association. The guests
and local members met at the store of J.
Stanley Giles at 1 p.m. Fifty machines-
wended their way to the top of the moun-
tain, where a luncheon and music awaited'

Gentlemen :

In reply to your inquiry as to what I think of Thrip Juice, I wish to say
that I consider it the greatest insecticide in existence. It will absolutely kill
red spider, thrip, aphis, etc., which is something no other or few will do. I have
used it for the last ten years and during that time it has saved me a good
many dollars. I always recommend it to other florists. The majority I have
talked to have never heard of it. I advise you to advertise more its merits.

Yours truly,

Wilsons 0. K. Plant Spray

Brooklake Park, Madison, N. J., July 14, 1922.
Andrew Wilson, Inc., Springfield, N. J.

Gentlemen: — Your O. K. Plant Spray, as its name implies, is
super-excellent. It is more than you claim for it. Outdoors we have
cleaned our conifers of red spider. Rose garden is free and no dreaded
rose beetle to dismay our efforts. Indoors I was at first skeptical with
its application upon orchids. Previously I never sprayed them without
loss of fleshy roots, no matter how light the application, but your
spray has cleared all doubt as to its safety on rare orchids.

Carnations and 'Mums are kept free of pests and fungus disease.
Its twofold use is wonderful. Roses, our situation favors black spot,
and every fungus disease a rose is heir to, but we spray the soil of the
benches every week with a 25% solution and are free.

It is, in short, an allied army of protection and care of all plants in
horticulture's realm. I heartily recommend it.

Yours very truly, W. R. FOWKES,

Supt. Howard Cole Estate.

Hitting the Long Island Trail

With a Trailer

That new Number Two House of ours made us do it.
Having built close to a mile of them on Long Island
this year, our advertising man was just naturally
yammering to see them. So, he and Mr. Fontaine,
our Eastern Sales Manager, somewhere rounded up a
perfectly good Buick, with a camp trailer attachment,
and started out trail hitting.

They had a list of old and new customers as long as
your arm, to call on. But it was soon plain to them,
that if they called on all of our customers, it would
take at least a month. So they made sure of seeing
all those who have built this year, and so far as possible,
also calling on a few others.

The idea of the camp trailer was to save time, by having
their hotel right with them, so whenever they were at
the end of the day, right there they could stay for the
night.

They went out the North Shore to Orient, across to
Shelter Island, and back the South Shore by way of
the Hamptons. At Southampton spent the evening
with the Frankenbach boys, talking about a new
Number Two House, the order for which was placed a
few days later.

All of you upon whom they called, were so exceedingly
cordial and courteous, that we want to express to you
our hearty appreciations. To those who were not
called upon, let us hasten to assure you, that this is
but the first of other trail hitting trips to follow. Next
time, hope to surely have the pleasure of seeing all
of you who were missed this time.

Here is a list of those called upon. Every once in a
while we are going to have something to say about
each of them. We'll start right off next week with
Mr. Bertanzel's new house at Roslvn.

The 50 x 150 foot house, for which we furnished materials for Mr. Joseph Neus

Where Joseph Neus Found We Stood
When We Took a Stand

Joseph Neus lives at Blue Point, L. I., the so-
called "Carnation center."

In the Spring of 1920, he dropped into our
New York office with a mutual friend, who
was an old customer of ours. Mr. Neus wanted
a figure on the materials for an Iron Frame
house 50x150 feet.

In comparing our figures with others, he
found they were not the lowest. But when he
carefully compared our houses, and equally
carefully considered our reputation for sound
practice and pleasant dealing, he gave us
the order.

Evidently, he found both our house and our
dealings lived up to their reputation, as this
year he gave us an order for materials for a
1 50-foot addition.

Mr. Neus has told his friends that the price
he paid for his house was the price we first
asked for it. That our first price was also
our last one. He seems to have felt that it

was some satisfaction to know that anyone
could get the materials at the same price, but
no one could get them for less.

We are not out to get all the business there
is to be had, on a pure price basis. For over
sixty years we have found that there is always
a large number of growers who like our steady,
solid-as-a-rock way of doing business, and want
our houses.

What others pay for their houses doesn't
seem to be all there is to it for them. They
have satisfied themselves that every dollar
they pay us brings back its full dollar's worth.

One of our oldest customers summed it up
years ago, when he said: "I always can depend
on depending on Hitchings."

If you are considering a dependable house
built by a firm and for a price you can depend
on, then let's have a talk together. You know
we go anywhere for business. Or to talk
business.

GLITTERS

I A Unique Orange- Scarlet Winter Flowering Sweet Pea

Burpee's GLITTERS is outstanding in every way. No
variety we know of can approach GLITTERS in richness,
brightness and live-fire effect. It is unique and far ahead of
all other orange-scarlet Sweet Peas we have ever seen. It
glitters and scintillates with a fire-like sheen radiating over
the flowers. Magnificent by day, its color under artificial
light is startling. To be fully appreciated it must be seen, as
no description could ever do justice to its flaming hue.

The standard is a bright orange-scarlet and the wings are
deep rich orange. The flowers are truly enormous in size
and of substantial texture. They hold up well after cutting.
The individual flowers are not only very large, but they are
also artistically placed, usually in fours on long strong stems.
The sprays are majestic, but graceful withal, and make up
into a most striking bunch.

GLITTERS is a strong and vigorous. grower with. healthy,
deep green foliage, blooming profusely and continuously. It
is excellent for midwinter, but the color becomes still brighter
as the days lengthen.

Burpee's GLITTERS created a sensation at the Inter-
national Flower Show held in New York, March, 1920, where
our display of Winter Flowering Sweet Peas was awarded
First Prize.

Few varieties of Sweet Peas have become as popular
within such a short time as has Burpee's GLITTERS. One
of the foremost Sweet Pea experts assured us that Burpee's
GLITTERS is one of the very finest Sweet Peas that has
ever been introduced. All the leading florists of the country
have taken it up equally and are growing it in large quantities
on account of the ready sale it finds with the flower-loving
public.

Site of 1923 Meeting to be selected by the
Executive Committee

•j£

THE Kansas State Florists Association continues
to grow in size, spirit and accomplishment. Its
second annual convention was held at Fredonia,
■ Aug. 3 and 4, with a registration of about 175, which
(exceeded by about a dozen that of the 1921 conven-
I tion at the capital city, Topeka.

The outstanding feature of this convention was
I neither the attendance nor the interest, but the fact
Ithat these characterized a convention held in a town
(of less than 5000 population, with less adequate rail-
Proad facilities than many other towns possess. In
■consequence, Kansans know that they can pull off a
Iinost successful meeting regardless of the location or
■size of town — if the association is aggressive, and the
4-onvention city alive.

How Fredonia Made It Possible

I Fredonia is very much alive, florally as well as
Iponunercially. The Chamber of Commerce has three
large rooms; In one of these registration took place,
kn another the convention sessions were held, and in
i the third the bulk of the splendid exhibits of numbers
ijind allied trades were displayed. The Ad Club of
Fredonia is particularly alert; visitors were delighted
Ico discover that it was this club which had suggested
knd paid for the planting of many fine beds of flowers,
Ikome in bloom during the convention, in the Court
House square. The Ad Club also sponsored the set-
ling of tubs of plants, chiefly foliage plants, on all
I he streets around the square, at the curb line, each
nerchant paying for the tubs in front of his place
I if business.

' This activity on the part of the Ad Club has

timulated much similar planting, the city govern-

J nent having planted many beds in the free tourist

- iark, and the school board having beautifully deco-

ated the grounds of the fine large school. In fact,

lowers and shrubbery abound throughout the town.

Behind this floral attention, Loyd C. Bunch, plants-
nan and secretary of the Kansas State Florists As-
ociation, may be discerned. He maintains a bed
bout 200ft. long that forms an island in the street
djoining his greenhouses.

Loyd C. Bunch, the Hero of the Occasion

Mr. Bunch received many ovations during the con-
enition — the first, of course, being the fact that the
onvention was held in his town, a compliment to his
ne work for the State body. His townsmen de-
ghted to honor him with praise, declaring that he
'as the first and the largest contributor of money,
iiue and ideas to community enterprises, and that his
lyalty in this respect had greatly enhanced business
len's opinions of florists.

Mr. Bunch was also the leading actor in one of the
lost touching and beautiful incidents that ever graced

convention of florists. On the second day the travel-
ig men presented him with a handsome clock — a token
if their appreciation. Their spokesman, William
luelenian, recited the hazard of the 1922 convention,
ae early prospect that it would be postponed because
If the S. A. F. at Kansas City, and the energy of
Jr. Bunch in "selling" the Kansas convention to
bavelers and others. Mr. Bunch, obviously deeply
fleeted, sat a moment after Mr. Hueleman had fin-
;hed; then he rose, walked a few steps to a nearby
oral exhibit, picked up a handful of Roses, and with

graceful gesture tossed them toward the group of
■aveling men. He then resumed his seat, without
aving spoken a word. Perhaps never was there an
istance in which the classic phrase of flowerdom
as so fittingly and perfectly demonstrated.

The Opening Sessions

The convention opened Thursday morning with
'gistration, the process of getting acquainted, and
ie viewing of the exhibits, all early in place. J. F.
nimann was the first speaker of the first formal
'ssion in the afternoon and was kept on his feet
>r nearly an hour after his address, by eager and
iterested questioners. The frankest of discussion oc-
lrred over details of F. T. D. operation, and many
bparent difficulties were, consequently, easily solved,
he convention gave a vote of approval to the gen-
•al plan for expanding and stabilizing the F. T. D.
rograms.

C. E. Hubbard, of Topeka, first president of the
ansas Association, as usual came forward with very
ractical suggestions for the business, particularly

L. E. FLINDT

Newly Elected President Kansas State Florists' Association
See text, page 412

urging the grading of flowers, so that stability as to
prices might be brought about, especially on special
occasions. He fiiso urged one-day sales, to clean up
surpluses and to stimulate the habit of flower buy-
ing among people not accustomed to use of flowers.

Charles Mueller, during the general discussion,
brought up the subject of valuation and taxation,
pointing to the inability of assessors to judge the
value of floral establishments ; a committee of three
was ordered appointed to handle the subject.

The Annual Banquet

The president's address and remarks by directors
were given at the banquet in the evening. President,
W. H. Gulp, aroused feeling and enthusiasm by his
remarks on the spirit which flower growers and re-
tailers should develop from their service to the pub-
lic. W. G. Fink, local "official welcomer," took the
pubfic up on a high hill (metaphorically speaking),
the same one the visitors had mounted during the
afternoon motor ride, and, recalling the picture they
had seen, gave them a verbal vision of the splendors
of Fredonia and territory. James Hayes, of Topeka,
vice-president, also spoke briefly.

Harry L. Smith, of Hutchinson, the other vice-
president, proposed a new idea for State conventions
— namely, the holding in connection with them of
flower shows to which the public would be admitted,
and in which also members who so desired would
have opportunity to show their products to fellow
members. The flower shows would have a pronounced
effect, he suggested, in stimulating appreciation of
flowers in the community where the conventions are
held.

W. G. Coupfand ("Cope," as his friends call him,
and that means all who know Mr. Coupland and his
wife), a director, endorsed the convention flower show
idea, slaying that it had many features which had
long appealed to him. L. E. Flindt, director, outlined
a particularly successful new idea in flower selling.
Charles Humfeld, Anthony, spoke briefly; and Loyd
C. Bunch made a short talk.

The toastmaster was Thomas Keeshan, Topeka
grower, who made himself famous among florists in
that capacity at Topeka last year.

Friday's Sessions

Friday morning's session was chiefly devoted to
routine business. Secretary-treasurer Loyd C. Bunch,
reported a gain of 22 members, from IIS to 140, for
the year; and an advance from 82 to 106 in the num-
ber of floral firms belonging to the State association.
He reported about three times as much in the treas-
ury as a year ago — a substantial sum.

He called off a list of florists1' names, both persons
and firms, from his card index, from whom responses
to solicitations to join had not been received. , Mem-
bers present reported as to present status of these
firms, and the lists were corrected. Fewer than 20
per cent of the known floral firms of the State are
not members of the State association.

Harry Mueller, State vice-president of the S. A. F.,
made his report and suggestions as to membership.

Charles Mueller, of Wichita, spoke earnestly in
favor of a standard of ethics for florists; his remarks
were endorsed and expanded by "Fred" Ammann,
and applause greeted the declaration that a code of
ethics would be established by the association. One
step towards standards was a vote suggesting 20 per
cent as thesuitahle discount to be paid to agents.

Agricultural College Cooperation

W. B. Balch, in charge of floriculture and vegetable
gardening at the Kansas State Agricultural College,
Manhattan, reported a gratifying response by florists
to his invitation, made at Topeka a year ago, to use
this department. Many florists have written of their
problems and received help. The letters uniformly
increase from districts where a florist has been
helped. He is securing from other State colleges,
seeds of flowers and vegetables resistant to diseases
found in Kansas, and is developing lists of flowers
and plants that do well here.

A new project at Manhattan fits exactly into a new
idea proposed at this convention — namely, the greater
attention to outdoor flowers. Mr. Balch has planted
this Spring, 25 varieties of annuals and perennials as
a step in a program of developing lists of flowers
which florists may grow cheaply outdoors for use in
Summer. By September he will have data on these
tests, which will be made available to florists in time
for their next year's plans. And by the date of next
year's convention, he will have had experience with
still more.

W. J. Barnes, of Kansas City, Mo., who introduced
to the convention, this subject of use of outdoor flow-
ers, urged their value and gave a specific list of va-
rieties which in his experience were not only fairly
easy to grow, hut were well adapted to decorative,
spray and design work. "Florists are always at a
loss for flowers during a few mouths of Summer,"
he said. "Yet they can find so many easily available."
One florist remarked that his net profits in June
and July were greater than those in December, be-
cause of his extensive use of home grown outdoor
flowers.

A further endorsement of the use of outdoor flow-
ers, and of the more "common" varieties, was the
hearty and enthusiastic reception given a demonstra-
tion of design making by Glen Felt. Mr. Felt made
up some beautiful designs from the cheaper flowers —
incidentally, in some cases, giving the final touch,
whereby real value was created, by the use of high
grade ribbons of suitable harmonizing colors.

Hugo R. Neff, manager of the Muehlebach Flower
Shop, Kansas City, excited admiration by his facile
and artistic demonstration of making brides' bou-
quets and corsages, and baskets of flowers. While the
florists admired his creations, the art of arrange-
ment' of Roses and Larkspur and greens, they were
also interested in his illustration of the use to which

Canadian Florists and Gardeners Association

25th Annual Convention, Montreal, Quebec, August 8, 9, 10 and 11, 1922
PRELIMINARY PAPERS

A Record of Promise, A Message of Inspiration

Being the address of President W. E. Groves at the

Convention of the Canadian Florists and Gardeners

Association, Montreal, Que., Aug. S to 11, 1922

MY first word on this occasion should record the
fact that this is the twenty-fifth convention of
the one national horticultural association in
Canada. For a quarter of a century it has
sought to develop the high hopes of the pioneers,
through all sorts of conditions it has kept the
flag of progress flying, it has stood four square
for the highest type of liberty, equality and frater-
nity ; and today, with a past of which it is un-
ashamed, a present on which it can look with pardon-
able pride, and a vision into the future full of in-
spiration, the C. F. G. A. has every right to congratu-
late itself and say, "Well done." Standing at the end
of a long line of presidents, in your name I pay my
tribute to the self-sacrificing work they have done,
and in all sincerity I say that whatever the years to
come may have in store, whatever glory and honor
may be ours in the future, we owe a debt of gratitude
to those who all these years have been sowing the
seed. Many of them are here today, for which we
are thankful ; others are here only in spirit. In your
name I extend to everyone our heartiest greetings.

Speaking of my own stewardship for the year, I am
in no boastful mood. However much is attempted,
however much is happily accomplished, there seems
to be a multiplication of things left undone that is
staggering ; and were it not for the loyal help ren-
dered by the various committees the record of your
president would be poor. May I review it briefly.

Legislation and its effect on our industry, under
the guidance of Past-President E. B. Hamilton, has
had earnest if quiet attention, especially in watching
proposals in the houses of Parliament, in regard to
the equally important question of incorporation.

Committee Work the Past Year

Tariff and Taxes, under the chairmanship of Major
Connon, have been carefully kept under review. I
may perhaps be pardoned for emphasizing the im-
portance of the recommendations on the question of
Sales Tax. There is still great need for a clear inter-
pretation of the spirit and working of the act by both
the Department and the collectors. One reason why
we have not secured this is because, as a profession,
we have not been united. Speaking as one who has
given at least as much thought and time to the mat-
ter as any man in the country, I frankly say that if
everyone in our profession, who is in any way
touched by the tax came into line with the only
logical florists' organization there is, and all presented
an unbroken and united front on such a vital and
important question, we would better make our posi-
tion felt. I frankly appeal for fuller cooperation be-
cause the present absurd situation is doing our cause
real harm. We are organized to care for the broad
interest of professional horticulture, we embrace all
the branches of the profession affected by the tax,
and by every law of common sense there is the center
from which should be voiced our needs and requests.

The Montreal publicity man, Mr. Hayward, will
give an account of what has been done in the name
of press and publicity. In common with his own city
we appreciate his loyalty and service.

Registration is a subject big enough for a whole
address, and I leave it to its sponsor, Henry J. Moore.
It is a matter for sincere congratulation that largely
through his "Faith" and "Works" we are within
measurable distance of a scheme that for the first
time in the history of Canada will make registration
and all for which it stands sure, legal, and definitely
approved by the Government.

Education has again commanded the earnest atten-
tion of a loyal band of workers led by W. W. Gam-
mage. The story he will have to tell should be in-
spiring and I only add my plea for your thoughtful
attention in regard to any proposals that may be
brought before you in connection with the Council
of Horticulture. A provisional council was formed,
your directors appointing a representative to attend.
It met and established a council, passed a constitu-
tion, decided to apply for incorporation and elected
officers and a directorate. The annual meeting is
fixed for March next, from which date our liabili-
ties and obligations commence if we carry on. I take
.the responsibility of strongly recommending that the
association take its proper place in the council. The
few months of trial have definitely justified its exist-
ence, and while rules and constitution may, in course
of time, have to be adjusted to meet varius needs and

developments, the principle is sound and tho oppor-
tunity for service unlimited. We are fortunate in
having for the secretary a man whose capacity and
interest are well matched ; L. F. Burrows is giving
of his very best for the general interests of horticul-
ture.

Still another group of workers — the membership
committee — has been in existence since the board of
directors meeting, captained by Harry E. Groves. It
will show that it has packed into the few months
since March a campaign red-hot in its intensity and
with real results. Having watched the work from the
inside, I suggest that it may be good business to con-
tinue some such effort. There is no need to campaign
all the time, but if it were the definite duty of a
small band of workers to care only for membership
a real service might be rendered.

Closer Relations with Fellow Organizations

Taking a backward look I realize with pleasure the
happy connection existing between this association
and the great societies "across the line." For the
first time the S. A. F. (represented here by Charles
H. Totty) has appointed its Canadian vice-presidents
after consultation with your president. Tnis, in it-
self, is a small thing, but a step toward that fuller
cooperation we are reaching after. We may not have
been of much real value, yet the simple fact that this
kind of fellowship is possible must make for real
good. Once again I suggest to the great F. T. D.
Association that it might do worse than follow this
lead. Because I am so sure of the value of the
courtesy shown by one great society to another, and
because 1 am equally sure that the F. T. D, A. is
missing a real opportunity by its consistent hesita-
tion to recognize this organization, I again make the
appeal.

Among the public activities of your president it
was a delight to carry to the great F. T. O. Conven-
tion in Toronto your message of greeting, good will
and welcome. At the annual convention of the On-
tario Horticultural Association, Messrs. W. W. Gam-
mage, S. Kirk, F. Clark, A. Simpson aud H. J. Moore
represented the C. F. G. A. Your president came in
for a rather warm time, but subsequent events have
proved that the effort was not altogether in vain. It
is well for the amateur and the professional to get
together sometimes. They do not always agree, but
mutual understanding is the only road to agreement.

The Private Gardener and His Attitude

One other bit of public work so directly affects this
association that it deserves mention. Again supported
by London, Georgetown and Hamilton, it was my
pleasure to address a fine meeting of the Toronto
Gardeners and Florists Association, and try to show
the advantages, to every man in the business of horti-
culture, of the work of this organization. For the
sake of the gardener himself I am just a little
anxious about his present attitude. We have some
gardener members who are our most valued workers,
but are we really touching this branch of the pro-
fession'.' During my two years of office and before
tbat I have held out both hands to help, and an un-
biased review of the situation today reveals the fact
that as a class the private gardener grumbles at his
lot, does little or nothing to help himself, and to those
of us who are honest in our desire to help he neither
gives lead or backing. Knowing him and his work
through and through, I say deliberately that if he
misses the present opportunity for fellowship and co-
operation offered by this association he may just as
well be content to stay in the old rut for the next
generation. I want my words to reach him and
frankly say, "If in constitution or methods we are
wrong, tell us and come in and help put us right, but
in heaven's name do this, or stop murmuring." Be-
fore the convention is over you will have an oppor-
tunity to discuss this problem and I ask for it your
brotherly consideration.

During the year death has taken a worthy member
of the association, John Pidduc, of this city. A past
president of the Montreal Gardeners and Florists
Club, bis knowledge of the duties of a chairman was
valued and helpful to members outside that society.
Retiring by nature, yet loyal in service and fellow-
ship he was held in high esteem by all who knew him
and the memory left behind is sweet.

For hearty cooperation shown me by the Canadian
Florist and everyone connected with the publication
I am deeply grateful. Its pages have been wide open
to me at all times, its editor, Mr. C. S. Thompson,
has been as enthusiastic a worker as any member of
the association and for this constant courtesy I place
on record my sincere thanks.

More Consideration Needed from Government

What of the present and the future'.' It is not my
intention to even suggest a program. But some needs
are so obvious that it is impossible to pass them by.
We want a closer affiliation with the great Depart-
ments of State. I think the time has fully come when
they should acknowledge an association like this as a
body of business men and women worthy of their
cooperation rather than their patronage. I say this
deliberately and advisedly, and for reasons refer you
to the Sales Tax bungle and the not altogether wise
methods of the Entomological Department, both of
which are calculated to antagonize rather than make
for friendliness. Every producer who charges tax is
a tax collector, just as much as if he were in a cus-
tom house, and he is entitled to intelligent instruc-
tion and a consideration at least equal to that shown,
by an employer to an employee. He is getting neither.

It would have done no harm if the Entomological
Department had asked the cooperation of either this
organization or one or two importers to consider the
question of further regulations governing imports if
these were necessary. Instead of which a board of
officials — every one of whom is admired and respected
in his own department — are appointed and what is
the result? Not one of them has any real conception
of the difficulties of climate and transit with which
the plant importer has to contend. Some of them
never see a case of European stock, and without
realizing how much they could help us, or how much
we could help them, sit round a table in a comfortable
office and with a few strokes of the pen propose to
place an almost intolerable burden on the buyer from
outside countries.

It is seriously proposed that every bit of stock com-
ing in shall be inspected at the port of entry before
being allowed to proceed to destination. Any im-
porter will easily conceive what it means if a cargo
of stock is dumped at, say, St. John in February,
and has to be unpacked, repacked and reconsigned
to a hundred different people. We have the right to
ask for reconsideration, I know, but what have we
done that we are to be subjected to this quite un-
necessary trouble, when a little of the spirit of co-
operation would have found us ready to help in every
effort to keep down pests? Furthermore a number
of those who are likely to be hit will never know it
until it is too late.

Reorganization Needed at O. A. C.

An Ontario need is a seat of learning. We had a
college once ; never perfect, but it did good work. We
have now a mere institution presided over by a prin-
cipal either entirely ignorant of conditions or quite
unsympathetic. Under the present regime Guelph is
likely to soon become a place where one will learn
how not to do things. And to add insult to injury
much of the research work previously done is being
snowed under, and revenue is the aim. A fine outlook
for a college. The need here is for the principal to
get some real grasp of the situation : and at the
head of the Horticultural Department we want a man
big enough for his job, with a mind broad enough to
see its meaning, and" with a heart true enough to
realize the urgency of at least an honest attempt to
teach real horticu'ltvire. Unfortunately at the present
we have neither, and the horticultural end of Guelph
is a more monumental disgrace than ever.

What Is Needed to Insure Progress

To overtake the needs that beckon to us demands
enthusiasm and real effort and I make a closing
appeal for both. We want a board of directors,
everyone of whom is ready to peel off his coat and
work. In the main we have this already, but we
want to make this body 100 per cent good, and there
should be no room for mere names on the list, names
of those who never attend a meeting or a convention.
We want real men. And then to overtake the needs
there has to be some sacrifice. It is said that during
our hunt for members and helpers in the campaign,
one poor creature refused to work because there was
nothing in it for him. He deserves our pity. The
things waiting to be done call for the giving of some
time and strength, of efforts from brain and heart.

Then we want vision, a vision that ever sees an
elusive something just beyond our reach ; which, when
there has been accomplishment, catches a glimpse of
something better farther on : a vision that realizes
opportunities everywhere for tolerance, thoughtful-
ness, deeds of kindness and of service, and friendships
that will blossom and bear fruit. Someone once
dreamed a dream of an organization of business men,
bringing them together for fellowship and work —
and S0,000 Rotarians are today living the gospel, "He
profits most who serves best." Rotary did not quite
meet the whole need and someone had another vision
with the result that there is now Kiwanis, seeking
to build for all that is noblest and best, so full of
zeal that quite recently it stirred the city of Toronto
to its very soul.

THE FLORISTS' HAIL ASSOCIATION

PAYS THE LOSSES

With every greenhouse in York, Pa., shattered by hail,
with a foot of ice from the upper regions near Raleigh, North
Carolina, and enough hail at Atlantic City to fill the ice boxes
of the town, not forgetting New York City's sudden and serious
hailstorm this week, it behooves the wise florist east of the
Alleghanys to take out Hail Insurance. For particulars address

Notes from Abroad

We axe at last having a spell of weather
which may fairly be called seasonable, not
too hot and not too cold. This seems to pre-
vail throughout Western Europe, from
the Hebrides to the Mediterranean.

Cut flowers are coming in well and find
a fairly good market. Besides the usual
lines, Celosia plumosa, Chinese Larkspurs
and Alstrcernerias are prominent and ap-
parently gaining in favor. Sweet Peas
are coming on the market in increasing
quantity an_d in very good shape. Among
the plants in pots, Kochias and Viscarias
help to provide a welcome variety for the
purchaser.

The British Commissioner, Mr. Lobjoit,
has returned home, and reported on his
visit to a committee of the Chamber of
Horticulture. Sincere hopes are enter-
tained that his efforts may have beneficial
results andthat the present unsatisfactory
regulations may be modified so as to pre-
vent the strangling of the international
nursery trade.

The Ghent Quinquennial (may it now*
long remain so!) Exhibition is fixed to
take place on April 14, 1923, and will last
a week. Many prizes are offered, and
great efforts are being made to ensure
its equaling or even surpassing the stand-
ard of its predecessors.

The return of sunshine proved favorable
to the National Sweet Pea Society's show
at Eastbourne last week, and much splen-
didly grown stuff was seen. A keen con-
test for the Eastbourne Borough challenge
cup resulted in favor of Dobbie & Co.,
but there was practically little to choose
between the leading competitors, and a
lead of half a point only secured the
verdict. The Burpee challenge cup was
won by the firm of E. W. King & Co.
Socially, also, the gathering was a great
success, and the society's annual dinner
made a worthy conclusion to a notable oc-
casion.

As regards agricultural seeds, it is re-
ported that Red Clover is scarce in Eng-
land, but a good crop on the continent.
Alsike is short, but prices have, so far,
not advanced. White Clover and Trefoil
are limited crops, and prices will be high.
Lucerne is plentiful and fairly cheap. The
situation concerning natural grasses is not
yet clear; Cocksfoot and Poa pratensis
are said to be in good supply; Dogstail a
medium crop, while Hard and Sheep's
Fescue are scarce. It is thought on the
whole that grasses will come down some-
what from their present high level.

The Bulb Season Is Here

Seed selling, with the exception of the
sales of perennial flower seeds, florists'
flower seeds for sowing under glass, and
grass seeds for Autumn sowing, is giving
place, and will give place at a steadily
increasing rate during the next three or
four months, to the sale of bulbs. Freesias
have already been received from the
California growers. That the crop is
short and that the larger sizes even this
early in the season are practically un-
obtainable at any price is well known.
French bulbs, both Paperwhitcs and
Golden Spurs, have already arrived, but
the fact that the total arrivals on the
three steamships, the Asia, Providence
and Canada, amounted to only five thou-
sand cases, whereas in seasons of normal
crop, the third bulb bearing steamship
alone usually brings ten thousand cases,
seems to corroborate the prevailing, per-
sistent report of a very short crop of
French bulbs.

'

In spite of high prices and some can-
cellations of orders, it now appears prob-
able that the entire crop of French bulbs
will be sold. In fact, importers say they
are receiving enough new inquiries for
French bulbs from those evidently in-
tending to buy to more than offset all
cancellations.

Prepared Dutch Hyacinths and Daffo-
dils for early forcing have begun to ar-
rive from Holland and other Dutch bulbs
also; Dutch bulbs in general are reported
on the short side. Calla Aethiopica bulbs
from California and Calla Godfrey from
local greenhouses are already in the
hands of the dealers and are being de-
livered, the quality of the former being
better than usual. Lilium Harrisii bulbs
from Bermuda have been received and are
said to be above normal in quality, and
Lilium formosum bulbs are arriving. Some
importers are sending out letters to buy-
ers stating that some of the large forc-
ers of Lilium formosum have obtained
much better results by placing these bulbs
in cold storage or at least a cold cellar
for four to six weeks before planting than
from planting directly after they received
the bulbs. Lilium giganteum bulbs are
reported to be a short crop on account of
damage from flooding of the fields. Lily
of the Valley pips are from the present
outlook and reports going to be of good
quality. The crop will not, however, it is
said, be as large as the normal in pre-
war days.

Roman J. Irwin, 43 West 18th st., re-
ports the receipt of all his Lilium Harrisii
from Bermuda, and the shipping out of
all his orders. The quality of these
bulbs he reports as better than usual.
Freesia bulbs are still arriving, but the
larger sizes are no longer obtainable be-
cause of the short crop which is mostly of
the medium to small sized bulbs. Lilium
formosum bulbs are expected now any
day. Mr. Irwin left the city on Monday
night of this week for Montreal, Canada,
to attend the meeting of the Canadian
Florists and Gardeners Association, which
was held there at the Windsor Hotel, Aug.
8 to 11. Wm. E. Cahill of his traveling
force met Mr. Irwin there.

Carl Giessler, manager of Max Schling's
store, 24 West 59th st., left this city on
Aug. 5 for his annual vacation. He will
sojourn at Yankee Lake, Sullivan County,
N. Y., in his own bungalow. At the store
it is reported that Lilium Harrisii bulbs
have arrh'ed and that French bulbs are
on the way. This store is expecting to
soon receive from France a shipment of
Lilium candidum bulbs of extra size.
Perennial seeds at this store are still
meeting with an active demand, and
Strawberry plants are moving well.

J. H. Thomas of the firm of Ralph M.
Ward & Co., 25 Murray st., has returned
from a two weeks vacation, much of which
he spent at his farm at Westwood, N. J.,
well tanned and apparently well muscled
and ready to supply all of his customers,
not only with the Horseshoe brand of Lily
bulbs, but also with French and Dutch
bulbs of the best quality.

Japanese Lily growers report that there
will be a short crop of Lilium giganteum
on account of disastrous washouts of the
Lily fields and other adverse conditions
for growing bulbs.

Weeber & Don, we note, are paying in-
creased attention to their poultry supply
and sundry departments.

S. S. SkideTsky & Co., 53 Park place,
report the receipt of an early shipment of
Lilium formosum and the shipping out of
same. The quality, they say, of the
bulbs this year is quite satisfactory.

F. Rynveld & Sons, 61 Vesey St., have
received and are shipping out both Lilium
formosum and Lilium Harrisii bulbs.
Their prepared Dutch Hyacinths and
Daffodil bulbs arrived on the S. S. New
Amsterdam on Sunday, Aug. 6, this
steamer, bringing the first considerable

Be wise and have a big supply of Snap-
dragon the coming Winter. There's a
reason. Coal will.be scarce and high; Car-
nation plants are of poor quality and
scarce, and bulb stock, particularly Paper-
whites, will be high. Get busy and have
a lot of seedling Snapdragons ready to
fill all empty space. Seed may be sown
any time. Plants should be ready to

The Florists' Exchange
Progressive High Class Florists Know

that it is necessary to grow some material of EXTRAORDINARY QUALITY and UNUSUAL in VARIETY,

such as we supply to our clientele for EXHIBITION PURPOSES; they need it for their critical clients
and for display and show purposes. x

Though our business is exclusively with owners of private estates
who require the very FINEST in QUALITY, we have decided
to offer from time to time some of this SELECT MATERIAL
at FAIR PRICES to those who have a FIRST-CLASS STAND-
ING.

Just now we have the FINEST STOCK of TRUE LILIUM

HARRISII that has come from Bermuda for many years; there
is no stock in Bermuda that can equal our strain for QUALITY
and TRUENESS to type; open a case and look at them and if
you do not think they are the finest lot of bulbs you have ever
seen, send them back at our expense.

These LILY BULBS are the result of careful rogueing of weak
plants and selection under the advice of Professor H. H. Wetzel,
Pathologist of Cornell University, who has used these LILIES
as contrast experiments in photographing fields to show the
difference ibetween TRUE HARRISII and HYBRID or de-
generated stock.

William C. Richards, Jr., who for the
last year or two has been with the Atlan-
tic Grass Seed Co., has again joined the
traveling force of Wm. Hunt & Co., 148
Chambers st., and is now out on the
road. With the termination of Mr. Rich-
ard's connection with the Atlantic Grass
Seed Co., that firm has definitely retired
from the retail trade, and in the future
its business will be wholesale exclusively.

The First National Merchandise Fair
opened on Monday morning of this week
in the Grand Central Palace and in the
71st Regiment Armory. More than a
thousand wholesalers and manufacturers
will have exhibits and between 35,000
and 45,000 buyers are expected to attend
the exhibit, which will last for three
weeks; 12,000, it is said, attended on the
opening day. What has this to do, you
may say, with the Seed Trade? Just
this, that we are informed that buyers
for department stoies who are in the
city this week attending this fair are call-
ing upon the seedsmen who handle bulbs
and the bulb importers with a view to
purchasing a supply of bulbs for the
Autumn trade in their seed and bulb de-
partments.

Vaughan's Seed Store, 41-43 Barclay
St., reports the arrival oi the first ship-
ment of Dutch bulbs on the S. S. New
Amsterdam. It -is expecting further ar-
rivals of French bulbs on the S. S. Patria
and the S. S. Britannia. There have been
received, and are being shipped out Lilium
formosum bulbs. Pa.perwb.ite Narcissi
are meeting with a large demand. The
store has also received its first shipment
of Golden Spurs from France and pre-
pared Hyacinths bulbs from Holland. J.
C. Vaughan, president, is expected in
New York in a few days, but will leave
the city again in time to attend the S. A.
F. Convention at Kansas City.

There is a report that the Lilium candi-

diun bulbs in France are in short crop
this year, and that growers are not filling
more than 30 per cent of their contract or-
de-s.

H. Simpson, representing Cooper, Taber
& Co., London, was visiting the seed trade
on Monday and Tuesday. He arrived by
the S. S. Berengaria on Saturday. This
being his first trip to the United States,
it is not his intention to make a run to
the far West on this occasion. He left
New York on Tuesday for Philadelphia
from whence he will work northward until
he reaches Toronto. Bearing west and
south, he touches most of the large cities,
including Kansas City, St. Louis and
Dallas, from there working back to Minne-
apolis again, Chicago and New York.
Some cities he will touch twice. He ex-
pects to return to New York about Nov.

pany betook themselves to the bulb farms of
the company near Homewood, 111. The day
was spent in meandering through the Gladioli
fields descanting freely on the merits or
demerits of the many rare varieties growing
there. For a while they waited to see the
Sumach turn crimson, and some listened for
the chicadee to sing in the hickory leaves,
but this was deferred for a later visit. There
were delectable eats between times, and in-
nocent games and amusements. The Gladi-
oli fields are at their best. Such outings as
these imbue the employees with both ro-
mance and poetry and guide their deter-
mination to a more complete fitness for the
pursuit of their respective avocations.

Chicago Seed Trade

Vaughan's Seed Store reports Formosum
Lily bulbs afloat. Paperwhite and L.
Harrisii bulbs will be in this week. Jas.
Martin, manager of the retail store, who has
been spending his vacation in Montreal and
other points in Canada, reported for dutv
Monday morning. He had an excellent
time. At the retail store there is an extensive
exhibit of cut Gladioli blooms from the farms
of the house on display daily. The varieties
being all named makes it more interesting to
the visitors.

Simon Dernison, of A. Henderson & Co., is
attending the Kansas State Florists' Asso-
ciation convention at Fredonia, Kansas.
The attendance at the meeting was equally
divided in point of numbers with the mem-
bers of the association and salesmen present.
It was about a fifty-fifty proposition; still
there was a good time and some business for
everybody.

The W. W. Barnard Co. report a good
demand for Freesia bulbs and are booking
briskly orders for French and Holland Bulbs.
Henry Bertpli will represent the company
at the S. A. F. convention and trade exhibit
at Kansas City. C. D. Coventry of this
company is spending his vacation in Wis-
consin.

Louisville Seed Trade

During the past week the Kentucky
Blue Grass Seed Growers Association ad-
vanced their guaranteed prices by one
cent a pound, the new level in carlots
to jobbers being 23c. for 21 pound seed
and 21 %c. for 19 pound seed. It is re-
ported that the association offered fifteen
cars at the lower price, and that when
seven or eight cars were taken up, the
price was jumped as it was believed the
seed would move freely. However, it is
claimed that there were all but one of
these cars taken by cleaners who had con-
tracted seed and who purchased to cover
their earlier sales, which means that the
actual market only took one ; car. At the
advanced price there is no demand, it is
claimed.

Prices on Blue Grass are condemned
by seed jobbers as too high, it being ar-
gued that the lawn grass seed consumers
will pay the price, but that the farmers
will go to Red Top, Clover and other pas-
ture seeds.

Reports indicate that a good deal of
Missouri seed is strongly held at the
Kentucky price, but jobbers report that
they are buying Missouri Blue Grass at
two cents a pound under Kentucky. This
may be some loosely held seed.

Statisticians . who make a study of the
crop hold that the Kentucky crop was
around 800;000 to .850,000 bushels; Mis-
souri crop, 450,000 to 500,000 bushels, or
between 1,200,000 and 1,300,000 bushels of
Blue Grass seed available. The combined
crops in 1921 were only about 250,000 to

300,000 bushels, and there was not much
holdover seed, which resulted in its being
possible to secure 50c. to 60c. a bushel for
good seed at the time of demand. How-
ever, all seed available last year was
taken up by the lawn grass consumers, as
farmers would not pay the price. This
year, with the largest amount of seed
available since 1912, it is claimed the price
is too high, as Missouri alone has more
seed than the total last year.

Orchard grass seed, while largely used
in lieu of Blue Grass and in mixtures
with Blue Grass, is in good supply, and
is selling from the thresher at from 75c.
to $1.15 a bushel, the pool formed to han-
dle this seed having blown up. There is
not much demand this early.

Harvey D. Hays and O. T. Watts of
the Louisville Seed Co. are at Flora, 111.,
arranging for the rebuilding of the com-
pany's Red Top cleaning plant there, which
was burned in a $25,000 fire on July 26.

A. S. Chescheir of the Ross Seed Co.,
which specializes in fine lawn seeds, has
returned to Louisville following a three
months tour of Europe.

W. N. Arterbur'n, president of Wood
Stubbs & Co., seedsmen and nurserymen,
will return shortly from a vacation trip
to Holland, Mich. O. V. N. S.

Record Breaking Vegetables

Edwin Beckett, Aldenham, England,
universally known for his wonderful suc-
cess in growing and exhibiting vegetables,
breeding perennial Asters and the raising
of new shrubs, has, according to reports,
surpassed himself by staging a collection
of vegetables at his local (Elstree) show,
which led authoritative people to declare
was the finest he has ever shown. This is
equivalent to saying superior to anything
ever staged anywhere, and it is doubtful
whether its like or superior will ever be
shown in the future.

Consisting of over 100 varieties and
kinds of vegetables, each so perfect that
every dish could have held its own in
fiercest competition, and staged only as
Beckett can stage, the exhibit literally
dominated the exhibition in color and
beauty.

O. M. Pudor, Puyallup, Wash. — Small pocket
list of Iris and other roots. The list of Iris includes
many of the best, bearded forms, and several other
types. English Long Spurred Columbines, Pink
Beauty, Lupin, Blue SciJlas, home grown Valley
and various Narcissi are offered.

The E. Gill Nursery Co., West Berkeley, Ca'-
— Wholesale offer of low budded Roses that will
not sucker. The list embraces many uptodate
and popular garden sorts.

Joseph Breck & Sons Corporation, N. Mar-
ket St., Boston, Mass. — A list that features a fairly
extensive collection of Holland bulbs including
Hyacinths, Tulips, Daffodils, etc. Illustrations
are numerous. Seeds for Summer and Fall sowing
are also strongly featured while Iris and Peonies
are likewise given attention. Fertilizers are a
specialty, several of the most famous English brands
being listed.

Peterson Nursery, Chicago, 111. — A unique
list devoted solely to Peonies and Irises. With
nicely colored covers 8x5H in., these "master
lists" of Peonies and Iris are contained on a large
folder which at one glance shows all the varieties
offered, with complete descriptions. Growing the
plants for cut flowers largely, this firm has carefully
cut out all varieties that lack the essentials of a
good variety, and such faith has this concern in
the purity of its stocks, that three roots will be
given for every one that is wrongly named. The
amateur buyer can make no error in his selection
from this list; only the finest in each color class is
represented.

Chas. E. Prunty, Main st., St. Louis.— Stiff
card folder offering at wholesale all kinds of farm
seeds, grain poultry supplies, fertilizers, etc.

Fred'k H. Horsford, Charlotte, Vt. — Horsford's
Autumn Supplement. A dainty booklet featuring
plants that are of iron clad hardiness. It does not
contain a full list of the stock offered in the regular
Spring annual. Lilies are a specialty; many of
which flourish and multiply at Charlotte. A con-
siderable stock of L. regale has been worked up
from seed. Iris are a big feature also, and of special
interest is the introduction of the new Regal
Lupins, which, owing to their wonderful range of
coloring, have become the rage in England. Mr.
Horsford has them in mixture and from the named
forms has also worked out those that were not
fairly true. All have been flowered and fully bear
out what was said of them in "The Exchange"
last year. Delphiniums, Peonies and various bien-
nials and perennials are also featured, including
the new exquisite Hollyhock and various bedding
Violas. A limited variety of Spring flowering bulbs
is offered.

Henry Field Seed Co., Shenandoah, low* —
i leld s Seed Sense for August. As usual, it is full
of personal touches, but it also features Peonies
hardy flowers, bulbs for Fall planting and lots
about spotted pigs, farms seeds and poultry
supplies.

Something About Peas

A law case that has been interesting
the seed trade in England for a long time
relates to an action by Corry & Co., New
Zealand, and Kehvay & Sons, Lan'gport
England.

The New Zealand firm has for some
years grown Peas on contract, but the
stock of Gradus supplied in 1918 was
worthless, and Kelways refused to pay
Corry claims £6000, while Kelways coun-
ter claim for £20,000.

At a recent hearing in the high courts
Kelways lined up some scientific and prac-
tical trade witnesses who made it clear
that the 10,000 bushels or whatever quan-
tity was shipped was neither Gradus nor
a rogue of Gradus. Some of the expert
seedsmen who had tested the stock on
behalf of Kelways believed it to be Ad-
miral, said to be grown in some parts
of America for canning, but worthless for
the general trade.

Prof. Bateson, the well known Men-
dehan authority, set up some pointers
that would have doubtless finished the
ease but for the fact that despite the
declaration by Corrys that they could
not ship the 1918 crop until the middle of
1919 because of lack of shipping, evidence
had cropped up to prove tha,t the New
Zealanders had shipped Gradus to an-
other firm in 1918, thus creating the im-
pression that Kelways had been left be-
cause prices of Gradus at that time were
away up above -the contract figure, con-
sequently the ease was adjourned to
enable the plaintiffs to submit evidence
on this point, they not being present in
person.

Among the points put forward by Prof
.Bateson were:

"1. That 'rogues' in Peas consisted of
accidental mixtures and a characteristic
rogue which is thrown by each variety
each Pea having its own rogue. '

2. The Gradus throws a rogue in pro-
portion of 2 per cent, and is a curved pod,
not straight like the true variety.

"3, The Pea supplied by Messrs. Corry
produced 75 per cent of a variety not
known m commerce there, and bearing a

small blunt, pod. The remaining 25 per
cent were mixtures with certainly not
more than 5 per cent true Gradus.

"4. The Gradus supplied 191.3 to 1917
were satisfactory, then a sudden break oc-
curred, the 1918 stock being perfectly
worthless.

"5. This break could not have occurred
through accidental crossing, as the Pea is
self-fertilizing, also in that case the seed-
lings would have given a mixture, some
of them indicating the parentage.

"6. No bad cultivation could account
for the stuff sent. Under bad conditions
the stock might die out, but it could not
change its type."

ing a juicy slice of Watermelon, dug into
it with such enthusiasm that in some
mysterious way a seed slipped and lodged
in his ear. In his endeavors to remove
it the boy succeeded in pushing the seed
in deeper. At last reports he was in the
hospital, but physicians hope to be able
to remove the seed without operating.

Muskmelons Grow Well in
Greenhouses

That Muskmelons may be profitably
grown as a Spring crop in forcing
houses, has been proved at the Ohio Ex-
periment Station.

The Melons may be transplanted into
beds after the late Winter crops are re-
moved and it is too late for most green-
house crops. Of the many varieties
tested, those of the Rocky Ford type
have proved more profitable than the
larger sorts.

The crop of Rocky Fords grown in
one bed, 7ft. by 50ft., sold for $60, re-
cently. Because of the superior flavor
of the home-grown, greenhouse Melons,
they find a ready market at a premium
over Melons shipped from long distances.

Tomato Growing in England

We who find it so easy to grow To-
matoes in the open and who have seen
acres devoted to the crop for market
purposes, have scarcely any conception
of what vast sums of money are sunk
in glass houses devoted to this esculent in
England. England may well claim to be
the home of the glass house type of To-
mato, for in the past 40 years or so the
varieties developed there must total many
hundreds, and it is not improbable that
the influence of these is largely respon-
sible for the total eclipse of the coarse,
heavily ribbed forms which were the rule
rather than the exception when we were
children. As has already been announced,
the British Tomato growers are spending
$75,000 this year to boost Tomatoes, and
quite recently the Growers Association
invited a large number of pressmen to in-
spect the Lea Valley, which is popularly
known as Tomato land.

In this area there are 1100 acres un-
der glass. Cheshunt, also noted for its
Roses, is the cradle of the Tomato indus-
try; 451 acres of glass are devoted to this
crop. Enfield, adjoining, has 242 acres,
and Waltham Abbey 63 acres. The grow-
ers in this neighborhood have their own
association, with a membership of 200,
and working cooperatively they buy all
their manures, coal, etc., through the as-
sociation. They run their own experi-
mental station, which, because of its im-
portance, is further aided by the county
authorities and the government. The
largest grower of Tomatoes in the Lea
Valley is H. O. Larsen. His nurseries of
42 acres have 26 acres under glass. He
employs 200 hands and uses up nearly
6000 tons of anthracite yearly. His out-
put of Tomatoes approaches 1000 long
tons, last year 828 tons. The daily output
ranges between 1000 and 2500 strikes, each
of 12 lbs. The fruit is all taken to the
shipping room, where it is sorted into six
grades and packed. Two 4 ton trucks run
much of the fruit to Covent Garden, but
the major part of the crop is sent north
by rail, where a slightly smaller fruit
than London asks is favorable. Nearly all
Mr. Larsen's houses are 100ft.x20ft.; he
has 189 of them. Of these 24 are devoted
to Cucumbers, the rest just Tomatoes.

The Moore Feed and Seed Co. of Ash-
land. Ky., has recently been incorporated

capital stock of $5000.

Week at the Capital

By CLARENCE L. LINZ '

Striving for Seed Millennium

The establishment of standards for seed
and the registration by the government
of seed conforming to such standards is
provided for in a bill introduced in the
Senate last week by Senator Capper of
Kansas. The bill does not make compul-
sory the adoption by growers or dealers
of the standards to be determined by the
Department of Agriculture, but provides
that any grower or dealer having seed
conforming to the standard may secure
registration, and the registration may be
referred to in offering the stock for sale.
The integrity of the standards to be
fixed will be insured by penalties provided
in the bill for representing as registered
seed stock that does not conform to the
department's requirements.

The bill authorizes the Secretary _ of
Agriculture to investigate the production
of seeds and to devise and promote meth-
ods for their improvement; to determine
the quality and varietal purity of any
seed offered for sale in the United States,
and to publish the results of such seed
for sale, and to fix, establish and promul-
gate standards and requirements for the
quality and varietal purity of seed, and
to alter or modify such standards and- re- ■
quirements whenever necessary, in ac-
cordance with which seed may be repre-
sented or indicated as registered seect.

After the Secretary of Agriculture has
established standards and requirements
for seed, any person may apply to him for
the registration of any specific lot of seed,
and upon a finding by the Secretary that
the seed conforms to his standards, he may
approve the application. Upon approval
of an application, the seed covered may
be represented or indicated as "Registered
Under the Federal Seed Registration
Act."

It would be unlawful for any person to
ship or deliver for shipment, or transport,
either in foreign or domestic commerce,
seed represented or indicated by any
means or in any manner as conforming
to the "Federal Standards" or as regis-

tered under the act unless such seed does
in fact so conform or so comply or is in
fact, registered. Cases of violation are
to be taken to the courts, but holders of
such seed are not to be prosecuted when
they can establish a guaranty signed by
the grower, wholesaler, jobber or other
party residing in the United States, from
whom he purchased such seed, to the ef-
fect that the same conforms to the
standards of the Government or is regis-
tered.

Fines of not more than $5000 or impris-
onment for not more than six months, or
both, are provided as penalties for mis-
representation, and the seed so misrepre-
sented will be seized and disposed of by
the Government.

Railways Still Running

Despite the continuance of the railroad
strike, the movement of all commodities,

except coal, during the week ended July
22 was the heaviest in the history of the
railroads for this season of the year, and
less than one per cent below the peak of
October 15, 1920, according to a report
just filed by the carriers with the Ameri-
can Railway Association.

Loadings of merchandise and miscella-
neous freight, which includes manufac-
tured products, totaled 567,165 "ears, 300
cars less than the week before, but an
' increase of 98,342 cars over the corres-
ponding week last year.

Total loadings of revenue freight
amounted to 861,124 cars, an increase of
217 cars over the preceding week and
73,090 cars over the corresponding week
last year.

Advertisers Who Expect Too Much

Merchants who advertise that their mer-

chandise may be purchased by mail, C.
0. D., with the privilege by prospective
patrons of inspection before acceptance
and the payment of charges, will shortly
find themselves unable to advertise
through the mails unless they discontinue
this practice.

Ever since the establishment of C. 0.
D. service, there has been a rule in ef-
fect prohibiting postal employees from
permitting addressees to open packages for
inspection before acceptance. Instructions
have been sent to all postmasters to re-
fuse hereafter to accept for mailing any
packages containing labels stating that
the recipients may open them before pay-
ing charges, and to report to the Post
Office Department at once any firms or
individuals whose advertisements hold out
this privilege. Under the control which
the Post Office Department exercises
over advertising matter, the transmission
by mail of advertisements that merchan-
dise may be examined before accepted,
may be easily stopped.

A number of complaints are received
regularly from patrons of the postal serv-
ice that they are not permitted to open
packages before acceptance, although the
senders assured them of the privilege, and
great difficulty has been experienced by
carriers in convincing patrons that they
are not entitled to inspect C. O. D. par-
cels.

Winter Coal Rations

Plans for handling the coal situation
next winter are being whipped into shape
by the fuel distribution committee headed
by Secretary of Commerce Hoover. The
fueling of the railroads will be handled
directly by this committee, but the dis-
tribution of coal within the various
States will be cared for by fuel commit-
tees to be apx^ointed by the governors.

Instructions have been sent to the Gov-
ernors of the States to' have inaugurated
immediately an inquiry into the con-
sumption of coal in their States in the
different categories — utilities, household,
industries, etc., and to furnish the fuel
distribution committee with a .statement
showing those who should receive priority
coal for current use. Such lists will con-

The Florists' Exchange

After nearly fifty years of

'going through the mill,''

Fritz Bahr writes a book

Fritz Bahr's
Commercial
Floriculture

A Practical Manual for the Retail Grower

The author needs no introduction here. His "Week's
Work," which has been appearing every Saturday in the
columns of this paper, has long placed him in the front
ranks of practical men writing in a practical way. More than
one fellow florist has called him a genius—which he
certainly is, if for no other reason than that he is a philos-
opher who can make his philosophy clear and practical for
others; whose philosophy is based not on what he things,
merely, but on what he knows as a result of nearly half a
century's successful experience.

Readers of THE EXCHANGE familiar with Mr. Bahr's thorough grasp of the everyday problems and
possibilities ahead of the Retail Grower, combined with his extensive cultural knowledge, and his mastery of
expressing practice in words, will quickly conjure up the wealth of informative material presented in the
following chapters of the book:

Chap. 1 The Retail Grower and His Business.

Chap. 2 Indoors and Outdoors all the Year 'Round.

Chap. 3 — The Equipment of the Retail Grower.

Chap. 4 Details of the Growing End of the Business.

Chap. 5-
Chap. 6-
Chap. 7-

— Profitable Side Lines for the Retail Grower.
—Important Flower Days of the Year.
-All Kinds of Plant Materials for the Retail
Grower.

ADDED to the wide range of ground covered in the above chapters, appear in Part II some 250 pages of
cyclopedic information plus pertinent advice.

Here all the types of plant, shrub, tree and vine that the reader is likely to handle, whether he grows them all or not,
are brought to the reader's attention. Whether it is best to try to grow them; and if so, how; what they are best suited for;
how to make the most of them; which varieties to use and which to avoid — these and all other things that every man
ought to know, but that comparatively so few of us do know, are discussed by Fritz Bahr in his inimitable, unmistakable,
convincing, encouraging style.

Illustrations. — More than 270 fine halftones made from photographs carefully selected — and in some cases es-
pecially taken — for this work will intensify the desire for its possession. They picture every phase of all sides of the busi-
ness and the great majority of its materials in the way they ought to be grown. This remarkable feature includes a helpful,
illuminating typical Fritz Bahr caption for every illustration.

In brief, FRITZ BAHR'S COMMERCIAL FLORICULTURE is the kind of a book that it takes a lot of time, a lot of
money, a lot of work and a lot of experience to make. But when it's made — well then you HAVE SOMETHING

The book is on the press now. A quick demand for copies
is assured. You can reserve your copy by filling out the order
blank to the right and mailing it at once.

^ Artemisia lactiflora

A Good Perennial
Of the many Artemisias there are none
jf more importance to the florist than
Artemisia lactiflora, with its 4ft. spikes of
Spiraea like flowers of creamy white. It
is coming into bloom now and there is
good use for it wherever Gladioli are sold
or design work is a feature. Cut the
spikes a day or so before you want to use
them, and place deeply into water and
keep in a cool place. This Artemisia is
perfectly hardy, yet it is a good plan to
lift a part of your field plants and heel
them into a coldframe. During early
Spring the old clumps can be divided into
small pieces and planted about one foot
apart into the field, or you can divide the
plants next month and have the stock
well established before Winter sets in.
If you haven't a good stock of this plant
on hand, by all means get it this Fall. It
will flower for you next Summer.

Rudbeckia purpurea

A Showy Cut Flower

Right now the Eudbeckias or Cone
Flowers are at their best, and are not only
most showy, when planted in groups or
clumps in the hardy border, but can be
used to good advantage as cut flowers.
They won't, and are not intended to, take
the place of Asters, Dahlias or Gladioli,
and that is just what makes them desir-
able, for they help give variety to your
assortment. Cut just before fully opened
up, the highly colored, Daisy-shaped flow-
ers, often measuring 5in. across, will last
for days, and when cut with 3ft. stems,
are most valuable for decorative work.
You can sow seed of R.udbeckia purpurea
now, which will give you plants for flower-
ing next Summer. They are hardy in
most sections. If you want them to bloom
the first season, this is easily done by sow-
ing seed during January, under glass.
Grow the seedlings on in 2% in. pots, ready
to be planted out in early May. This is
perhaps the simplest way for those in
need of only a few plants.

Pot Roses

This Is Growing Time for Them

Whether hybrid teas, perpetual or
Ramblers, all Roses grown on in pots dur-
ing Summer require constant attention if
you want them to amount to anything; in
fact, this holds good with almost any plant
we carry in pots outdoors during Summer.
It is right now and for a few weeks to
come, that the plants should be encouraged
to make all the growth possible. When
it gets toward the end of September we
will again think about getting ready to
ripen the wood which will mean the partial
withholding of water, but for the present
always keep the soil in the pots moist,
and don't overlook feeding. There is
nothing better than liquid cow manure, and
if the plants are doing well you hardly
ever run chances in overfeeding; most
likely you don't feed enough. Do your
growing now and not in October; have
hard, strong canes by that time, and not
a lot of soft shoots, which are of but
little use for forcing.

Pansies

Start with Good Seed and Grow in Good
Soil

This is just about right to sow seed
of Pansies, of which you want plants in
bloom by the end of next April. If you
handle bedding stock, you have good use
for Pansies, and the larger the flowers,
the better the colors and bushier the
plants the easier it is to obtain a good
price for them. It is not only necessary
that you buy the very best seed, but you
should also use a good, well manured
soil to grow the plants in. On poor soil,
the finest strain of Pansy seed will pro-
duce poor flowers. A poor strain of seed,
growing the plants in poor soil or not
treating them right, doesn't make for

profit, while a good strain, well grown,
and the plants attractively displayed dur-
ing Spring, will make Pansies a profitable
crop. Sow now thinly in rows outdoors,
and transplant into good soil as soon as
the plants are large enough to handle.
Four inches between the plants is suffi-
cient. A coldframe where you can protect
the plants if necessary is a better place
than out in the open. Sow a few in sepa-
rate colors, white, yellow and blue, and
don't object to paying a good price for the
best strain of seed.

Grevillea robusta

Sow Seed Now

Still time to sow Grevillea robusta or
Silk Oak and obtain fine stock in 4in. pots
for next Spring. There isn't anything
you can grow on in a Carnation house
temperature which by next May will take
the place of Boston ferns better than these
Grevilleas; that is if you have vases and
veranda boxes to fill and are in

finer flowers and at less cost than you can
grow them, but there is nothing like hav-
ing a few of your own to draw from or
fall back on in case of having to fill a rush
order, or when a patron insists upon hav-
ing the flowers fresh cut; we all have
cases of that kind. If you only grow a
few hundred plants, grow a soft pink
shade of the Enchantress type, and per-
haps a few whites, so you will be able to
cut enough to fill orders for a dozen or
more flowers at a time. This isn't always
possible when you grow too many different
varieties.

Bouvardias

Brine the Field Plants in Now

If you have Bouvardias out in the field,
the plants can be brought in now; in fact,
the sooner the better. No matter of what
variety, let them become established,
either in pots or, what is better, in
benches, and if you have no other place,
a Carnation house will do nicely. The

Chrysanthemum corymbosum, Caucasian Daisy

want of something to soften the stiff,
formal foliage of Geraniums or Coleus.
The average retail grower should grow
more of these useful plants. As with pot
plants of Asparagus plirmosus, he has good
use for them practically all the _ year
around. Plants in 2in. pots only 4in. in
height come in as handy as large speci-
ments in 5's, with their beautiful fern
like leaves often delicately shaded with
brown, especially during Spring. Sow in
flats without delay; you needn't trans-
plant the seedlings into other flats later
on, as a good way is to pot them up into
2's as soon as large enough to handle.
If you should happen to have small plants
left over from Spring, shift them and
grow on into specimens for next Winter;
you will need them.

Growing Carnations on a Small
Scale

Can the smaller grower make Carna-
tions pay handling them as a sort of side
line and retailing the flowers? Why not?
Any florist with a retail trade, even with
only space enough for a few hundred
plants, can make them pay as long as he
will keep the house the plants are in to
suit them, and not try to grow eight or
ten different varieties. If you retail the
flowers of Carnations, it is always well to
be able to show your patrons plants grow-
ing in bud and bloom. You may only
grow the smallest part of your require-
ments, but the very fact that you grow
some helps to sell Carnations. You may
be able to purchase better grown stock,

smaller flowering sorts should really have
it a little warmer during Midwinter, but B.
Humboldti will get along nicely in a 50
deg. temperature. Lift your plants as
carefully as you can, otherwise they are
apt to wilt badly, but even those moved
with a good sized ball of soil should have
shade for ten days or so. You can pinch
long shoots back up to early September,
but with Humboldti it is these shoots
which usually bring the best flowers.
However, you will always have good use
for the short stems, and such you are most
likely to get from pot plants. You can
handle Bouvardias nicely by potting the
plants up now into 6in. or 7in. pots, but
this is only of advantage to the smaller
grower, as it will give him a chance to
move his plants about when crowded for
room, which frequently happens during
Fall.

Wm. F. Dreer Rose

This new California variety, which is
on the lines of Los Angeles, is not only
proving a good outdoor Rose here, but is
winning high praise in England. H. H.
Morse, in his regular trade criticisms of
new Roses, speaks of Wm. F. Dreer— a
most wonderful Rose and a fine companion
for Los Angeles which it resembles, ex-
cept in color, this being creamy apricot
overlaid with orange. Another writer in
the N. & S. also says, Wm. F. Dreer will
soon be a general favorite. Mr. Morse
again states that Etoile de Holland will
easily knock out Hadley as it never fades
or turns blue. This refers to outdoors;
what of Etoile de Holland under glass?

jf; Chrysanthemum Corymbosum

This species has usually been called
Pyrethrum in American gardens and nur-
series, but belongs in fact to the genus
Chrysanthemum. It is distinct from Pyre-
thrum commonly offered, and has, in fact,
not been widely planted in American
gardens. However, it seems to be deserv-
ing of general culture.

As the photograph shows, it is most
floriferous with great abundance of beau-
tiful white Daisy like flowers. These
flowers are good for cutting; also the
plant is excellent for use in hardy bor-
ders.

The culture is of the simplest. The
roots are taken up and divided in late
Autumn or early Spring, and planted in
the border wherever desired. About all
that needs to be done thereafter is to
keep the weeds out, and even at that this
Chrysanthemum will hold its own against
many competitors. Fkank A. Wadgh.

[A species that compares well with some
of the weedy forms of C. maximum or
Shasta Daisies which one may see around.
Hailing from the Caucasus, it is of iron-
clad hardiness. While known to botanists
for 400 years or so, it is not often seen
in cultivation, doubtless due to the fact
that there are so many Oxeye Daisies,
and that its flowers are not so large as the
maximum type. The branching habit of
C. corymbosum, however, is a decided as-
set. It flowers in July or later, according
to the locality. — Ed.]

New York Botanical Garden
Journal

An interesting feature in the June is-
sue just to hand deals with the history
and distribution of the Saw Cabbage
Palm, Paurotis Wrightii. This was dis-
covered in Florida as recently as 1887 by
Pliny Ward Reasoner of Oneco and seeds
and plants were later collected by E. N.
Reasoner on the Western Coast in the
Cape Romano region. At first it was iden-
tified as Serenoa arborescens, but later
investigations proved it distinct from the
genus Serenoa. Several illustrations of
this palm in its native state accompany
the article.

"Bugs" and Fleas on Warpath

From Minneapolis, Minn., comes the re-
port that hordes of caterpillars are dev-
astating the forests in that neighbor-
hood. The New York City parks are
likewise being patronized by caterpillars;
their numbers are unprecedented and de-
spite constant spraying, little headway
has been made in the way of exterminat-
ing them. The heavy visitation is attri-
buted to the continuous rains, but this
is open to doubt as these pests are most
favored by dry conditions. The District
of Columbia, on the other hand, is being
distracted by fleas. These pests have in-
vaded every home and they pay no re-
spect to person.

We might add that these same sand
fleas have also appeared in Northern
New Jersey. One of our friends reports
that in the garden and in the house, the
little black demons are lying in wait for
the unwary. For some reason, however,
these fleas pay more attention to the
ladies, particularly to those who wear
light colored hose. The appearance of a
pair of legs encased in light stockings is
enough.

In about ten seconds the owner is in
distress, and she needs the united as-
sistance of the household. Some sport.
What?

Many people in Manhattan, too, are
plagued to death with a miniature mos-
quito which no ordinary screen will keep
out of the house. It has all the vim ot
its larger relatives and like the aforesaid
flea, is largely in favor of silk stock-
ings.

Week at The Capital

{Continued from page 398)
sist of public utilities, public and semi-
public institutions and activities abso-
lutely necessary to tbe welfare of the
public.

Each State is to set up a single con-
signee to receive all coal shipped into
that State on orders from the Governor's
committee, which will be held responsible
for the payment for all coal shipped into
the State. The Governor's committee will
distribute this coal in accordance with
the needs of the various classes of activi-
ties. These needs are to be met in order
of importance, public utilities and insti-
tutions heading the list, followed by
household fuel, industries manufacturing
public necessities and industries in gen-
eral. The Governors' committees are to
be held responsible for the prevention of
profiteering and extortion in the sale and
distribution of coal.

Until the fuel handling organization of
the Government is completed, the coal
mines will continue to do business as
usual, except that priority buyers speci-
fied in the recently issued priority
orders of the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission will gradually absorb the output
of the mines and, finally, orders placed
through the Federal Fuel Distributor for
railway purposes and State committees
will take the total output.

Although coal will undoubtedly be
scarce next Winter it is not anticipated
that the florists will suffer from a lack
of fuel as severely as they did during the
war. They will be dependent upon their
State committees for their supply of coal,
but it is not likely that any orders will
be issued that will prevent their getting
a sufficient supply to keep their stocks
from freezing. Coal will be short, but it
is believed there will be no actual famine.

Let Us Use More Native
Rhododendrons

By SAMUEL NEWMAN BAXTER

w TO, these are not native Rhodo-
^ dendrons in our illustration
but hybrids which were wel-
onied to our shores long before
)u. 37 was thought of. Every now
nd then we encounter these bil-
owy masses of bloom and, after
■njoyment of the scene, hie to our
ihotographer to record our impres-
ions. Impossible these days to du-
ilicate this planting, without wait-
ng long years for maturity of the
iniited number of small plants now
ivailable at fancy prices. But
■ather than let customers get away
:'rom Rhododendrons why not boost
)ur native plants? This planting
'ould be duplicated, using large R.

ground might well have R. caro-
liniamim, Andromeda floribunda,
Leueothoe Catesbfei, or similar
plant materials introduced, produc-
ing a bed that might have had
something "on" that in our illustra-
tion and 'twould consist of plants
"made in TJ. S. A."

And so, while admiring the
beauty of the large plants of hy-
brids that we may run across from
time to time, let them serve to
spur us on in the use of native
plants to create such effects. In
fact, there are many situations
where the native plants would be
far more appropriate and in keep-
ing with the surroundings than the
hybrid ones. Fortunately this is
appreciated as evidenced by the
large quantities now sold, but there
is no reason that this use should
not be increased by proper adver-
tising rather than let Qu. 37 dis-
courage prospective purchasers of
Rhododendrons. La Bar's Rhodo-
dendron Nursery at Stroudsburg,
Pa., for instance, is evidently con-
ducted along this line, and their at-
tractive illustrated booklet makes
one wish to visit these plants just
as they may be seen in their na-
tive haunts and duplicate the scene
at home, so far as opportunities
will permit.

WHAT'S AROUND THE CORNER?

Address of H. B. Chase, Chase, Ala., before the A. A. iV. Convention at Detroit, June 29, 1922

I am no prophet, son of a prophet, seer nor crystal
gazer, but I believe the nursery industry is approach-
ing a "corner" and that one guess is as good as an-
other as to what awaits us around it. Generally
speaking, the last few years have been good for the
nurseryman. For the season of 1921-22 the price ten-
dency was downward as compared with the previous
year except on some few items that were in short
supply, and my prediction is that for the Fall and
Spring of '22 and '23, it will in general continue down-
ward.

These price declines, coming by degrees, are right
and proper and strictly in keeping with the readjust-
ment from the war time peak; there is no objection
to this; it is natural; we expect it and are prepared
for it. As I see it, however, the nursery industry
today is on a production basis ; it is in a position to
greatly expand its production and it is this point of
"overproduction" that I would put first on the list
of "What's Around the Corner?"

Look Out for Overproduction

Most earnestly do I sound a note of warning :
Don't go wild in your planting. Stop and think it
out, and in thinking it out go over your prewar pay
rolls, your old trial balances, your old freight and
express bills, your old overhead account and com-
pare these items with their costs today. You will
find that it is utterly out of the question for you to
live under prices, such as you secured for your prod-
ucts at that time, yet sure as the sun shines over-
production will bring our industry right back to 6c,
Apples, 9c. Kieffers, 14c. Cherries, 6c. Peaches and
12c. Roses. Get me clearly on this point, overpro-
duction means the old time prices in spite of an oper-
ating expense from 50 to 150 per cent greater.

There is no getting away from it. When there is a
production of two trees or plants where only one is
needed to meet the demands, both will be sold, if
possible, at a nickel or six cents or any price at all.

There is another feature aside from your own in-
dividual supply and demand to be taken into con-

sideration ; this is the fact that dozens, perhaps hun-
dreds, of new and heretofore unknown growers are
going into or have already entered the producers'
lists. Also, that many heretofore small growers are
now greatly expanding their businesses. The combined
production of these new and expanding growers is no
inconsiderable factor in helping to bring about the
period of overproduction that I believe is "around the
corner." Unless the recognized nurserymen of this
country proceed along conservative, yes, ultra-con-
servative lines, if you please, we will see within two
years a deluge of price-declines and the nursery in-
dustry will then be "back to normalcy" with a ven-
geance.

At the meeting of the Western Association last
January we made a few remarks on "The Immediate
Future of the Nursery Business." We then stated
that in our opinion there was a market in sight for
all good nursery stock for the coming Spring and
Fall. You will agree with me that our statement was
correct as applied to the past Spring season, and we
are still of the opinion that the nurseryman of this
country will find a good market for his products in
the Fall of 1922 and next Spring, too. But right now
while conditions are good, when it takes real nerve
to plan any curtailment in our production, is the very
time to look ahead a little and plan with care and
thought and conservatism for the next four or five
years.

The Policy of "Digging In"

Recall, if you please, those "years of normalcy" be-
fore the war when we were all scratching gravel.
History repeats itself you know and I am wondering
just how far around the corner will we find our-
selves up against those same conditions? The nur-
serymen of this country are as industrious a lot of
business men as can be found. To put it bluntly they
work like the Old Black Hen in the following verses.
Listen :
Said the little red rooster, "Gosh all hemlock, things

are tough,
Seems that worms are getting scarcer, and I cannot

find enough.

What's become of all those fat ones is a mystery to me;
There were thousands through that rainy spell, but
now where can they be?"

The old black hen who heard him, didn't grumble or

complain,
She had gone through lots of dry spells, she had lived

through floods of rain,
So she flew up on the grindstone, and she gave her

claws a whet,
As she said, "I've never seen the time there weren't

worms to get."

She picked a new and undug spot; the earth was hard

and firm,
The little rooster jeered, "New ground, that's no place

for a worm."
The old black hen just spread her feet, she dug both

fast and free,
"I must go to the worms," said she, "the worms won't

come to me."

The rooster vainly spent the day. through habit, by the

ways
Where fat round worms had passed in squads back in

the rainy days.
When nightfall found him supperless, he growled in

accents rough,
"I'm hungry as a fowl can be — conditions sure are

tough."

He turned then to the old black hen, and said, "It's

worse for you,
For you're not only hungry but you must be tired to'0.
I rested while I watched for worms, so I feel fairly

perk.
Eut how are you without worms, too, and after all that

Work?"

The old black hen hopped to her perch and dropped her

eyes to sleep,
And murmured in a drowsy tone, "Young man, hear

this and weep;
I'm full of worms and happy, for I've dined both long

and well.
The worms are there as always — but I had to dig like

h— 1." ,

Ideal Nursery Inspection Law Uniformity

There may be many other things around the corner,
but I shall touch on only one more and that is the
proposed Uniform Nursery Inspection Laws brought
out by the Cotton States Entomologists last January,
at which January conference five nurserymen were
present upon invitation. Their committee has sug-
gested a "Proposed ideal standard of rules and regu-
lations toward which all States could move as oppor-
tunity offered." The idea had been present in the
minds of the nurserymen for many years and we were
delighted at the chance to help the entomologists
work it out.

The State Board of Forestry for Mary-

American Railway Express Co. and asked
that the commission, after investigation
and hearing, order the company to reduce
its classification and consequently its
rates for nursery stock on shipments with-
in the State.

Lightning Kills Tree Expert

Fern J. Holcomb, nineteen, Hiram, 0.,
employed by the Davey Tree Expert Co.,
was killed by lightning Aug. 7 while
working on a tree at Ursino, the Keene
estate at Elizabeth, N. J.

There were several men on the job. Hol-
comb was up in one of the trees, said to
be 100 years old, when lightning struck
the tree. Men under the tree were
stunned, but not injured. The rope about
Holcomb's waist prevented his body
from falling to the ground.

Specialize in Shrubs

The El Kay Nursery, near Raleigh,
Tenn., where 25 acres are being devoted
principally to flowering shrubs by L. K.
Salisbury, is now ready for business.
Fruit trees and Grapes are also being
grown. Landscape gardening and engineer-
ing are added to the list of activities.
C. T. Dye will manage the new nursery
and A. F. Holcomb, formerly in the em-
ploy of the Illinois Central Railroad,
who has had charge of the growing dur-
ing the development oT the nursery for
the last two years, will continue in that
capacity.

Leaf Character of Apple Varieties

This is the title of a 32 page bulletin
issued by the Mass. Agri. Experiment
Station, Amherst. It contains many
half tone cuts showing the form of the
foliage and by aid of these, any grower
may satisfy himself as to the trueness
of his trees. Some experts can readily
recognize Apples and Pears by the foli-
age; in fact, we have known men who
could recognize many sorts in Winter by
the habit and wood. Men who live long
enough among plants to enable them to
recognize varieties are truly experts. The
bulletin is the result of seven years'
studies.

What's Around the Corner

{Continued from page 405)

The "Ideal Standard" presented em-
braces 29 sections and time forbids stat-
ing them all but some of the more im-
portant features are as follows: First, a
serially numbered certificate tag to be
issued to each nurseryman by his State
entomologist, said nurseryman to account
for each of these numbered tags by a
duplicate invoice, without price, to be
mailed to the entomologist promptly af-
ter shipment is made. Second, a nur-
seryman doing business beyond the bor-
ders of his own State must secure from
each and every State in which he oper-
ates a serially numbered permit tag to be
attached to each shipment destined to
the State issuing it and must mail a du-
plicate without price, bearing the tag
number to the issuing entomologist.

Think for a moment just what this
would mean to the large agency nur-
serymen and mail order firms in this
country, many of whom are doing busi-
ness in practically every State in the
Union. Third, all shipments of nursery
stock shall not only be inspected at the
nursery before shipping, but must also
be inspected by a competent inspector
after shipment and oefore planting.

Trying to Make Entomologists See the
Light

The nurserymen present tried to con-
vey their feeling about this provision,
that it was utterly impractical, pointing

out that in the Cotton States alone there
are probably U0O.O0O to 1,000,000 orders
filled annually. They asked that the en-
tomologists earnestly attempt to work
out a plan whereby one inspection tag
would carry a shipment anywhere in the
United States. This suggestion was
taken under advisement and a second
conference was called to meet in At-
lanta in May. At this, 21 nurserymen
were present, but the entomologists re-
ported that they had not been able to
evolve the plan as suggested and again
submitted their "Ideal Standard" with-
out change or modification. It was dis-
cussed fully and frankly section by sec-
tion, but we could not get together. Some
concessions were made by the entomolo-
gists, the most important being the elim-
ination of a section which provided that
"All shipments of nursry tock coming
into a State should be routed by receiv-
ing stations for inspection and forward-
ing to destination."

The serially numbered permit tag sys-
tem is now in force in four of the citrus
growing States and you who ship into
Florida, Mississippi, Lousiana, and South
Carolina are familiar with the duplicate
invoice required. Conditions in the cit-
rus States are difficult and entirely dif-
ferent from those in other sections and
the nurserymen feel that the use of this
serially numbered tag should be confined
to them. But the entomologists want
this plan adopted by all the States and a
serially numbered certificate tag as well.

Therefore, I suggest that you large
operators who are doing business in 30
or 40 States should look to the future
very carefully, and do everything that
you possibly can to avoid overproduction
in order that you may keep your prices
at a reasonable point so that you can
build a wing or add an extra story to
your office to house and have money to
pay the additional force necessary to
comply with these ideal rules and regu-
lations when they are universally
adopted. Cheer up !

The Oldest Tree

The oldest living thing in the world is
thought to be the famous Cypress in the
churchyard of the village of Santa Maria
del Tule, a few miles from Mexico City.
Experts have estimated its age as between
500. and 6000 years. It is said to have
been a stripling 200 years old when Cheops
built the great pyramid. In 1903 the tree
was measured and found to be 126ft. in
circumference. — Boston G-lohe.

Paper from Rubber

The uses for rubber have not as yet
been fully exploited. An English chemist
has now found a method of combining
rubber latex (milk of the Rubber tree)
with paper. A small quantity serves to
considerably increase the strength and
its ability to withstand folding without
injury, as well as improving the texture,
"feel" and waterproof qualities. Further
experiments have to be made to prove
whether the process will pay commercially.
If the experiments in the United States
warrant it, Frederick Kaye, the inventor,
will visit America to confer with paper
manufacturers. The Rubber Growers
Association in England is doing all pos-
sible to facilitate the experiments, as the
new use of rubber in paper will greatly
relieve the distress resulting from over-
production of rubber in the Far East.

We heard the Ad Man chuckling to
himself the other day, and cautiously
made our way in behind his piles of "copy"
and correspondence to find out the reason
for the hilarity. "Oh, I was just noticing,"
he explained, "how popular exhibitions
and demonstrations of floral work have
become as convention features since Max
Schling started the ball rolling, and it
reminded me of a story I saw somewhere:

"The store manager, it seems, was in-
terviewing a young lady applicant for a
position. 'What we want,' he said, 'is a
good demonstrator. Have you had any
experience in that line?' 'Well, no,' she
replied, reluctantly. 'But, just the same,
I think I'd do just fine, for my gentleman
friend, he says I'm awful demonstrative.'
Pretty good, what? Tee-hee."

We shook our head sadly and made
o\ir way back to our desk to contemplate
the serious matters that occupy our mind.
Yes, we thought, poor fellow, he does need
a vacation, after all.

The Florists' Exchange

New Orleans, La.

The Market

Aug. 5. — Some florists say that
ousiness is picking up, some say it isn't.
Personally, we are not in a position to
let as judge in the matter, being merely
[he writer who is trying to give the gen-
;ral conditions as nearly as possible. But
ivhen they won't agree, they won't, and
is they are all bigger than we are, what
they say goes. However, from personal
observations most of these florists seem
to find something to do practically all
if the time; so long as they are not sit-
ting around with folded hands we should
say things could be much worse.

There were a number of openings dur-
ing the past week which called for numer-
ous baskets of flowers. For instance, what
is said to be the largest printing concern
in the South, made its formal debut on
the first of the month and there were
naturally many firms — perhaps not inter-
ested in printing — which wished them well.
There were also some branch bank open-
ings and some drug stores starting out
in the business world, with baskets of
flowera to speed them on their way.
Weddings, too, seem to be still in vogue
and as long as there are mountains and
seashores to go to and vacations to be
had for the asking, there will be no big
drop in the licenses issued. Gladioli and
Tuberoses are the leaders in the market
now with Asters coming a close second
and Radiance Roses still in the running.
The home grown variety of Gladioli is
.getting smaller, but those coming from the
North have beautiful large blooms. These
are about the only flower which can be
shipped in now -with much success. Some
Tuberoses are also finding their way here
from distant cities, but our own variety
is still plentiful.

' Valley is not coming in so fresh due to
:the extremely hot weather. Some Dahlias
are still noted in the different ice boxes,
but they are not of good quality. Carna-
tions are expected in about the 15th of
September; some may show up even
earlier. There are plenty of Zinnias and
they are big ones, but about their only
purpose seems to me to brighten the win-
dows of the different flower shops. Prices
are still the same and until the demand
picks up, there will be no appreciable
. rise.

A New Branch Nursery

Ludwig Muller, florist of 725 Gen-
eral Pershing, has just recently purchased
three wooded lots in the Hope Haven
subdivision of the Ames Farm Land Co,
and about the first of October he expects
to have them cleared and will then use
them as a nursery for raising cut flowers
and ferns. Mr. Muller now has a fine
collection of Gladioli, Tuberoses, Dahlias,
Chrysanthemums, Asters, Roses and As-
paragus in his city nursery from which he
has been supplying his many customers;
later m the Fall he expects to cut flow-
ers from his new nursery for the trade
j ^ t0 eome out there- Five thou-
8 j ?oses and from two to three thou-
sand Asparagus plumosus will be among
the new plantings. Mr. Muller's sites are
on the main Barataria road to Bohun
one mile froh the Napoleon ave. ferry
this road is much patronized by automo-
biles on account of the beauty of the scen-
ery. Beautiful old Oaks covered with
Spanish moss, fertile fields and peace-
ful pastures crowd the twelve miles of
shell roads.

News Notes

,, , Tlle. weddings bells tinkled last
.Monday for Henry Bloemer, bookkeeper
for Chas Eble, florist, and Miss Loretta
i^orry. The wedding was a quiet church
affair and Chas. Eble, Jr., served in the
capacity of best man. The young couple
spent their honeymoon at a nearby re-
sort.

A recent arrival in the family of Ber-
nard Eble is a little girl who will bear the
name of Marietta Eugene.

In the Metairie Ridge Flower Shop this
week were seen some of the largest
Gladioli noted in the city. J. G. Schatt-
maier who is the manager, stated that
they had been received from Chicago,
home enormous Boston ferns were also in
evidence and these it seems had just been
sent in from the nursery.

At the florist store of P. Ackermann
we found that he was doing a good busi-
ness in canary birds, which is somewhat
unusual for this time of the year. "The
.good singers go almost as fast as they

come in," said his son, "but the quiet and
more sedate ones are hard to get rid of.

Ant Campaign Officially Started

About the biggest thing in this part
of the country right now is the movement
to rid the city of New Orleans of the
Argentine ant. Probably no event since
the time that George Washington con-
fessed to cutting down the old Cherry
tree has caused as much widespread in-
terest or as much publicity in this vi-
cinity.

The campaign was started off the first
day of August officially by a proclamation
of Mayor McShane, which set aside two
weeks ending Aug. 15 as the period for
raising funds for the extermination of the
Argentine ant.

It is planned to raise $40,000 by Aug.
15. Some of the ward organizations pre-
dicted that they would have their quotas
within three or four days and so far as
has been learned, they were right. All
are confident that before the 15th they
will be over the top. Under the plan,
the quota for each square in the city has
been fixed at $12 and this is the basis on
which all ward workers are proceeding.
The $40,000 will pay for setting out more
than 700,000 cans of poison which this
Fall will mean the end of the ants.

E. R. Barber, eleven years entomologist
for the United States Department of Agri-
culture at Audubon Park, is in active
charge of the drive. Mr. Barber Monday
announced formally his resignation from
the government service to devote his en-
tire time to systemized warfare on insect
pests. He is opening offices in the Beer
Building, Canal and Baronne sts., and
under the firm name of Barber Entomolo-
gical Laboratories is equipping a factory
at South Robertson st. and Tulane ave.,
while from New Orleans he expects to
direct a commercial warfare on insect
pests wherever they are found.

All civic organizations in the city, such
as the Association of Commerce, the
Young Men's Business Club, the Rotary
Club and the Horticultural Society and
all women's; organizations have pledged
their support and funds for the drive. The
federal and state governments, especially
the latter, are cooperating in the cam-
paign officially, while all city officials' and
business men are wishing it success. This
campaign is a follow up of the one con-
ducted last year and which relieved the
city of about 95 per cent of the insects.
After this year they'll all be saying in
the Crescent City: "Oh what is so rare
as an ant in New Orleans?"

The campaign is also having a good ef-
fect on neighboring towns and cities,
quite a number having already under-
taken the campaign as outlined and
planned for this city, and each day finds
a new one in the paper announcing its
similar intention. With such favorable
publicity, who knows but what the whole
country may not in a few years be entire-
ly rid of this ant pest; which is omnivor-
ous in its habits. Plants and trees of all
kinds as well as food stuffs come alike to
it; it is not averse even to taking a bite
at the genus homo. R. McD.

the early morning and the first big event
of the day was the annual ball game. In
the afternoon many games and contests
for all classes of persons, regardless of
age or sex, were held, and prizes were
provided by the Society for the winners.
In addition, there were boating, fishing
and swimming facilities for those who
did not care to enter the contests. A
dance was given in the pavilion in the
evening, an orchestra from New Albany
having been secured to furnish the music.

Mr. Kneisley, traveling representative
of the Aull Bros. Co., was in Louisville
last week calling on the local trade.

Mrs. Robert Miller of the Kunzman
Floral Co., who has been ill at her home,
has not improved and some apprehension
is felt by friends.

The William Walker Co. will probably
get into its new location, five doors north
of its present shop on Fourth st. by Aug.
15. The new quarters are being practical-
ly rebuilt, the entire front of the shop
being remodeled and the interior being
reconstructed. The new shop is one door
from the corner of Walnut St., on Fourth.

The body of Mrs. Kate McM'urray
Johnson, former Kentuckian, who died
in Texas last week, will be brought to
Louisville for burial, according to word
received here by friends. Mrs. Johnson
was the first secretary of the Texas Hor-
ticultural Society and continued in that
capacity until her death. Her work took
her to every part of the United States
and several foreign countries.

The Market Flower Shop, operated in
the Sanitary Market Building by Dave
Walker, remains in business there. Some
time ago the management of the building
announced that it would be closed and
served notice on the various shopkeepers.
However, Mr. Walker and five other shop
owners declared that they would remain
as their leases extended for five years.
O. V. N. S.

Louisville, Ky.

The past week has been a very quiet
one, even for a Summer week, with local
florists. Little work of any kind has been
done. However, this situation is in keep-
ing with the general local situation. Buy-
ing, which had been very free until two
or three weeks ago, has tightened consid-
erably, owing to the withdrawal of pur-
chasing power from workmen on strike.
About 5500 railroad shopmen here have
been out and the lack of coal has com-
bined with this factor to slow up all
business. Retailers, naturally, have suf-
fered considerably as a result. And not
only is there the actual cessation of buy-
ing by those whose wages have stopped
or curtailed, but the general attitude of
those who are able to buy is one of cau-
tion. Florists, therefore, are not subject
to a special condition, but to a general
movement among buyers.

Stocks are coming in in very good shape,
some remarkable colors developing in
Gladioli. Dahlias are beginning to come
in, but are still in the "creeping" stage.

The annual picnic of the Kentucky So-
ciety of Florists was held on Thursday,
Aug. 10. All florists had cards in their
windows announcing that the shops would
be closed all day Thursday. The members
went to Glenwood Park, New Albany, in

Savannah, Ga.

News Notes

Retail business has been very slow
since the first part of July. Collections
are also very hard to make. A good
many of the flower buyers are at seashore
and mountains which accounts a good
deal for the present conditions.

John Wolf has his houses all planted
and the Roses and Chrysanthemums are
looking fine.

A. W. Richardson reports everything
in fine shape. He has built another house
175ft. long. It is planted to Russell Roses
which are doing nicely. He is one of the
lucky ones to have a full Winter's supply
of coal in the bunkers. Mr. Richardson
came back a week ago from an extended
trip to Niagara Falls and Canada, re-
turning via New York and Atlantic City.
He visited his brother in Norfolk.

At Oelsehig & Sons everything is grow-
ing nicely. Most of the Roses here are
in their second and third year and doing
well. Two of the houses which were de-

Trade Notes

With the advent of August, busi-
ness has shown a decided increase, the
demand equalling the supply.

At the greenhouse establishments, the
usual Summer overhauling is in prog-
ress.

F. B. Frank is busily engaged in mov-
ing his greenhouses from West End, to
his new place in East Lake, where he
will have more acreage and will con-
siderably enlarge his buildings. Mr.
Frank has been signally successful in
forcing prepared Dutch Hyacinths for
the Christmas trade. He also forces a
general line of bulbous stock, using only
the bigh-grade bulbs, which, he says,
pay best in the long run.

Russell & Son are also contemplating
some additions to their establishment
this Summer, which will start when they
get home from their motor trip to South
Georgia and Florida. Mr. Russell's son,
Reginald, who has been away for two
years, is with him.

house, 75x35 ft. The bids will close
August 10.

A new plant breeding greenhouse is to be
built at the University farm at St. Paul,
Minn., for year-round experimentation with
rust resisting wheats. J. M. Crosby of the
Washburn-Crosby Milling Co., Minneapolis,
contributed $2,000 for the building of the
greenhouse. .

The largest greenhouse west of the Missis-
sippi is operated by Stephen Hyde at Carth-
age, Mo. There are four and one-half acres
under glass, and more than 1000 pounds of
Lettuce are shipped daily throughout the
Winter months to distant markets. Roses
and Carnations are the only flowers produced
by this florist who cuts as many as 1000

Plant Registration with the S. A. F. and 0. H.

In reply to several recent inquiries as to the steps
to be taken to register new plants with this society
we give an extract herewith from the Constitution
and By-laws of the S. A. F. and O. H., covering same
It would be a good idea for all interested in plant
registration to clip this paragraph and place it where
It can be found when wanted.

In the old by-laws there was a provision to the
effect that non-members of the society should pay $5
for registration fee and we believe this requirement
is still in effect, although it doesn't appear in the
extract As it is possible to 'become a member of the
b. A. F. itself on payment of $5, it will be seen in-
tended registrants might just as well take out mem-
bership while they are about it.

No approaching S. A. F. and O. H. Convention has
ever received more thorough preparation than that
which is scheduled to meet at Kansas City next Tues-
day, Aug. 15.

Indefatigable local committees have worked dili-
gently all through these past months in the endeavor
to have every chain in the link in complete running
order, to the end that the three momentous days in
that city may be spent to the greatest advantage, and
in a straightaway course without lost motion and
without lost time. The intermissions between the
acts (between the sessions) are well provided for,
and for all whose desire is to see everything there is
to be seen and to hear everything that is to be heard,
there need not be one dull moment.

Then we must not forget the S. . A. F. program,
which is after all, the crux of the situation. It is
one of the most comprehensive programs ever placed
before the Society and at the same time one of the
most promising in its far reaching results, providing
it goes through, and we believe it will. For the work
embodied therein we have to thank the Society's ex-
ecutive committee, which spent three active days in
its preparation, and studied opportunities for prog-
ress from every angle.

In marked contrast to other of our great national
associations, which practically confine their annual
meetings to a round of two or three cities, the S. A. F.
has had the wisdom to make known its existence by
visits to points of wide geographical distribution —
from Boston in the East to San Francisco in the
West ; from Minneapolis in the North to Houston in
the South. And to the wisdom of its thus covering
the country is due in considerable part the large
membership it has attained — some 4000 of the best
florists in the country being now enlisted under its
banner. Through these annual pilgrimages the So-
ciety has made itself known "broadcast," as it were,
and its wide membership representation is proof posi-
tive that it is no mere local nor near local institution.

Interest should be centered on every detail of the
program, but naturally those which will attract the
most attention will be the selection of a president for
the ensuing year, the decision as to place of meeting,
the election of two directors, and action on the
amendments.

For the presidential chair there is no lack of avail-
able timber. It would be good to see two or three
class A men in a spirited contest.

As to the 1923 city, Cincinnati has been mentioned,
but our leaders advise us that it is just a question
whether florists there will be interested in handling
more than two conventions in one year, as they will
have on their hands next year the meetings of both
the American Rose Society and the American Carna-
tion Society. Then, again, through an unwritten law,
the next convention should be held in the East and
the next president should be a man from the West.
However, traditions are oftentimes upset. And we
shall see what we shall see between Aug. 15 and 17,
being confident in advance, however, that whatever
is to be passed on will be for the best interests and
further success of this great society of ours.

Kansas Florists to the Fore

Kansas City is, of course, the florists' Mecca just
now. but this should not make us lose sight of the
fact that Fredonia. Kan., has recently been the site
of an exceedingly interesting event. The second an-
nual convention of the Kansas State Florists Associa-
tion, as fully reported in this issue, was by all ac-
counts a remarkably valuable addition to the list of
such meetings up to this time.

It was characterized by the serious, constructive
businesslike spirit that makes for and insures suc-
cess. It was relieved by social features and enter-
tainment, that rendered it thoroughly enjoyable as
well as helpful. It showed full appreciation of and
pride in the organization's two years of accomplish-
ment, but did not sidestep the responsibility involved
m lifting the standard of achievement high and ever
higher. It illustrated most admirably the right sort
of an attitude, both for an independent or State as-
sociation and for a unit in the national organization
of floricultural interests.

Without doubt the size, activity and efficiency of
the Association are largely due to the calibre of
those who have directed and controlled it Especially
should there be noted W. H. Gulp, the president just
retired, C. E. Hubbard, his predecessor, and the first
to hold the office, and Loyd C. Bunch, the secretary,
who apparently moved mountains in bringing to such
a successful conclusion the recent convention5

So long as such men can be kept at the helm and
on the quarterdeck— and we have reason to believe
that the roster for the coming year is well up to the
standard: so long as the organization keeps its pres-
ent bright ideals of service and accomplishment ■ so
long as these ideals are backed up bv unremitting

effort, wholehearted cooperation and intelligent, ac-
tive interest — so long can the Kansas State Florists
Association look forward to a life of usefulness and
well merited commendation ; and so long will it set
a noble pace for other State associations to follow.

The Right Spirit Across the Border

As this issue goes to press the convention of the
Canadian Florists and Gardeners Association is still
in session and no report can reach us for use until
next week. But we are pleased to be able to print
at this time two papers which, as they are character-
istic of the program as a whole, point to a productive
and inspiring gathering.

Florists of the United States can derive special
satisfaction from the splendid message of greeting
from the S. A. F. delivered by Chas. H. Totty; and
also from the happy situation that makes it officially
possible — as it has long been desirable — for our so-
ciety to be represented at the C. F. G. A. meetings.

In Mr. Groves' presidential address we find the
same sort of sane, vigorous, constructive presenta-
tion that we have come to associate with the official
expressions of the sturdy organization of our brother
florists to the North. With keen understanding, ap-
preciation of what has been, realization of what may
and should be, and a clear understanding of the
necessary steps in securing real results, he has pointed
out existing needs and outlined a policy for the Cana-
dians in a way that it will do anyone good to read.

We would be surprised if the C. F. G. A. did not
end its session and take up another year of work
afield with renewed strength, optimism and deter-
mination, simply as a result of having heard Mr.
Groves make his address, not to mention the other
valuable papers on a long and well-balanced program.

Sounds Like A Sensible Board

We are not surprised to note that Prof. Hubbard,
speaking at the Kansas State Florists' Convention,
referred to the Kansas provisions for protecting hor-
ticulture against diseases and insects, as among the
simplest and yet most effective of any in the country.
He also states that they are the only regulations of
the kind to have received the unanimous endorsement
of the Supreme Court.

One reason for this approval and success, as we see
it. is the organization and personnel of the board
that has control of the situation. Although referred
to as an Entomological Commission, it is made up of
the secretary of the State Board of Agriculture — pre-
sumably a practical agriculturist, the secretary of the
State Horticultural Society — presumably a man prac-
tically informed an horticultural matters, State en-
tomologists from the State College and Experiment
Station, and a practical nurseryman, to be appointed
at large. Here is a really general and comprehensive
representation — belying the name of Entomological
Commission as thoroughly as the makeup of the Fed-
eral Horticultural Board belies its title.

Taking the cue from Kansas, would it not be logical,
fair, sensible and productive of benefit to all con-
cerned to reorganize the F. H. B. — or rather, to cre-
ate a brand new Federal Plant Quarantine Commis-
sion— made up approximately as follows:

A representative of The National Federation of
Farm Bureaus — to represent agricultural interests
generally.

A horticulturist designated by the majority of the
State and larger sectional horticultural societies of
the country.

An entomologist of national standing.
A plant pathologist of similar standing.
A forestry expert, preferably a practical economic
dendrologist.

A practical nurseryman, named by the American
Association of Nurserymen.

A practical floriculturist, named by the Society of
American Florists.

Four members at large — representing respectively
the Pacific Coast section, the Gulf Coast States sec-
tion, the Eastern States section, and the remaining
interior section of the country — these to be appointed
by the Secretary of Agriculture, and not more than
two of the four to be scientists as distinguished from
practical horticulturists or agriculturists.

We commend this plan — or something allied to it—
to the Congress of the United States.

Raising Spiraeas in America

Information having reached us that herbaceous Spi-
raeas are being grown outdoors in this country in con-
siderable numbers (the clumps being taken up in the
Autumn and sold to florists for forcing and Spring
sales) we have made inquiry of some of the repre-
sentative growers said to be doing this as to their
methods, results, etc.

The following reply from the Robert Craig Co.,

August 12, 1922.

The Florists' Exchange

409

Norwood Station, Delaware County, Pa.— the first to
te received — is an interesting and illuminating addi-
tion to the available statistics on the domestic pro-
duction of plant materials no longer to be secured
from abroad on account of the regulations of Qu. 37.

Editor The Florists Exchange:

We have grown Spirreas of the Gladstone, Queen
Alexandra and America types for the past three
years, owing to the fact that it was impossible to im-
port this stock from abroad. We realize, however,
that clumps of Spireeas cannot be produced in this
■country equal to those which we formerly imported
from Holland. Our success has been equal to any
in this country, but we cannot get here the natural
growing conditions to be had in Holland. The plants
love a low, swampy place and plenty of moisture.

Our Summers seem to be a little bit too warm and
•dry to produce the best results. It is my opinion that
-clumps can be grown in Holland twice as large as
they can in America in the same length of time, pro-
ducing more flowering eyes.

The stock which we have had has been quite satis-
factory, but has been produced at a greater cost than
■we used to pay on the imported goods. During pre-
war times we purchased the very best Spiraeas from
Holland at a cost of about S%c. or 9c. per clump. It
is necessary to get from 35c. to 40c. for a clump of
American stock, which is not as good. This makes
the Spiraea when in bloom rather an expensive plant,
and there cannot be as many used for the cheaper
decorative work as were used before the war. In my
opinion, the Spiraea will never be a big seller as a
high-priced plant. Robt. A. Craig.

A. L. Miller Celebrating Silver Jubilee in
Business

It's no new thing for A. L. Miller to celebrate. He

■ is always celebrating, and Jamaica, L. I., to say noth-
ing of New York City and its surroundings, is aware
of it.

Being of a cheerful disposition he celebrates every
morning the fact that he is alive, well and kicking.
He celebrates when business is good and, as it is
never otherwise with him, his life is one perpetual
pleasure, more so at Easter and Christmas time when
there is such a tremendous demand for his pot plants
j that he has scarcely time to think about eating. That,
j by the way, is about the only drawback or setback

■ Mr. Miller ever gets up against. He makes prepara-
i tions for these times, however, for several weeks be-
! fore the rush starts, he calls up the New York and
'. New Jersey Plant Growers Association, and submits
j plans for a run around. Primarily these runs are to
; get a line on what's doing, but the real object is a
, celebration which includes many eats and — cold tea.
, Occasionally, as a side line, a beefsteak "Keller" is
i held at which Abraham Lincoln Miller is never ab-
; sent. He will tell you himself that although he has

been in "hock" for 25 years, he cannot remember
missing many meals.

It will be observed that reference is made to 25
, years: well, it was on Aug. 15, 1897, exactly at 10
I a.m. that is, 25 years the very morning the S. A. F.
convention opens at Kansas City, A: L. Miller started
; his career as a florist grower. It requires no stretch
l of imagination to realize that something must hap-
pen at Kansas City at 10 a.m. Aug. 15. A. L. M. has
the idea he has just got to celebrate ; he doesn't know
just how, for he doesn't want to break the laws of
Kansas City and land in jail, thereby spoiling a repu-
tation of 25 years.

Anyway, he means to be in Kansas City that morn-
ing, and if any friends and members can, on their
way to the convention city, plan a really good way
for a modest fellow like A. L. Miller to celebrate his
25th year in business, hand in the proposition to him
or John Young, or any one of the hundreds of flo-
rists who know him. Mr. Miller will appreciate your
assistance, that is, if your scheme is better than that
which he may evolve in the meantime.

It is worth recording, too, that men who have set
out to aid A. L. Miller — for a consideration of course
— have, for the most part, become permanent fixtures,
proof that he is a "boss" worth sticking to. One
might get the impression to hear A. L. M. talk, that
there is another "boss," whom he himself has to con-
sult, but all in all, a visitor can readily discern that
the A. L. Miller outfit is a pretty regular and well
organized concern.

Fred Muntz, who is second "boss" — or third assum-
ing A. L. M. really has a superior — has spent a con-
siderable number of years with Mr. Miller and "Tony"
whose portrait is here shown, has actually grown
up with the outfit, having served the full 25 years,
and like the "boss" is still going strong.

Federal Horticultural Board Announcements

Ban Lifted on Holland Firm
Customs Brokers to Receive Permits

The Federal Horticultural Board has issued the

following notices of interest to plant dealers, both
here and abroad :
HB-155. July 21' 19~-

Reinstatement of Peter Hopman & Sons

The Federal Horticultural Board has received sat-
isfactory assurance from Peter Hopman & Sons of
Hillegom, Holland, that they will comply hereafter
with ' the quarantines and regulations governing the
importation of plants into the United States.

The action of the Board expressed in Circular Let-
ter HB-139 is, therefore, hereby revoked. Permits for
importations from this firm will be issued in accord-
ance with the quarantines and regulations.

HB-156.

July 26, 1922.

Tony (holding the fern) and another Old Timer.

Tony, having been with Mr. Miller since he started in business twenty-
five years ago, is naturally looked upon as a mascot among the
employees.

After a couple of whooping big thunderstorms the
weather has come off bright, clear and delightfully
cool. Stimulated thereby the Ad Man breezed in this
morning, rubbed bis hands together, smiled a broad
smile and remarked, "Well, folks, this kind of weather
makes you just want to work, doesn't it?" The Boss
looked up from his mail, took a fresh grip on his
cigar, and, recalling probably the tales we have been
hearing about some hilarious doings down at Coney
Island" in which the Ad Man and family took part,
growled, "Well, then, why don't you work sometimes.
Nobody's stopping you?" — You should have seen the
vanishing act that thereupon took place. Yes, it is the
dog days, after all.

Issuance of Permits Under Reg. 3, Quar. 37

Regular permits will be issued for importations un-
der Regulation 3 of Quarantine 37 to Customs brokers
when the brokers are actual importers in their own
name but such permits are not to be used to coyer
importations made by other importing firms which
they may chance to represent in Customs matters.
Each importer must receive his own permits and he
must be responsible for compliance with the regula-
tions in regard to his own material. The miscellane-
ous assignment of imported material to brokers' per-
mits leads to confusion.

When issued a Regular Permit is addressed to the
Collector of Customs at the particular port desig-
nated in the application. At the same time a notice
of the issuance of such permit is sent to the Collector
of customs and to the Inspector of the Federal Horti-
cultural Board at each port of first arrival where
the Board maintains an inspection service. Collec-
tors of Customs and Inspectors of the Board at such
ports of first arrivals are authorized to honor these
permits as if issued for their own ports and to re-
lease material covered by them and otherwise com-
plying with the regulations.

Special permits for importation under Regulation
14 or for importation by mail are issued for Wash-
ington. D. C, or Sau Francisco, Calif., only. Such
material may not be released to the consignee or to
his agent at any other port, but should be expedited in
customs bond to Washington or San Francisco as in-
dicated on the package.

The Florists' Exchange

Kansas State Florists Convention

{Continued from page 387)

flowers received in poor condition could be put, for
window decorative pieces.

Both Mr. Neff and Mr. Felt made running comments
on their work as it progressed, providing valuable
suggestions of extremely practical nature.

Otto H. Barth, of the Allen C. Smith Advertising
Co., Kansas City, delivered an address "chuck full"
of valuable ideas on advertising. He emphasized the
necessity of injecting the florists' personality into his
copy, and of making flower advertising measure up
in artistic effect, through illustration and wording, to
the commodity offered. He put newspapers first on
the basis of value as media for the retail florist ; di-
rect mail and other such media second, and programs
and directories last.

Prof. S. J. Hunter, State entomologist, who has
been closely cooperating with florists for 25 years,
gave a valuable paper on parasites and insecticides,
interpolated with homely illustrations and sugges-
tions.

The committee on resolutions (Harrie S. Mueller,
of Wichita, Chairman), reported briefly and to
the point : First, favoring a committee on code of
ethics ; second, in appreciation of the Chamber of
Commerce, Ad Club and Kiwanis Club, so generous in
their entertainments ; third, appreciating the work
of President W. H. Culp; and fourth, in recognition
of the courage and energy of Loyd C. Bunch, secre-
tary.

One invitation was received for next year's conven-
tion— from Kansas City, Kan. The executive com-
mittee will select the city.

Officers were elected as follows: President, L. E.
Flindt, Arkansas City ; vice-president from the East-
ern District, "Bob" Fields, Kansas City; vice-presi-
dent from the Western district, L. D. Fisher, Sterling ;
secretary-treasurer (re-elected), and State vice-presi-
dent for the S. A. F, Loyd C. Bunch, Fredonia ; direc-
tor, O. G. Rindom, Emporia.

Invitation to attend the S. A. F. and O. H. Conven-
tion and enjoy the hospitality of the Kansas City Flo-
rists Club was extended with earnestness and elo-
quence by W. J. Barnes, chairman of the advisory
committee of that club.

The invitation to hold the 1023 meeting in Kansas
City included cordial statements by the Kansas City
Florists Club, and by its president, T. J. Noll.

Miss Olga Hubbard, of Topeka, first vice-president
of the Ladies Society of American Florists, was dili-
gent in seeking new members for this society, in
preparation for the Kansas City convention.

New Projects in Kansas

Many suggestions were made, during the conven-
tion, as to new association work. One which was
thoroughly discussed and put into effect, is a program
for supplying information regarding employees,
whereby florists needing help may fill their wants
most quickly and satisfactorily.

Another suggestion, proposed tentatively, was that
the State association promote an insurance plan for
covering tire, wind and other hazards, taking exam-
ple from the success of the Hail Association.

There was informal discussion, outside convention
sessions, of arrangements for cooperative buying, par-
ticularly of containers. Such a plan may be for-
warded by groups.

Social Features

Fredonia is a beautiful city, with a very live popu-
lation, eager to put their best foot foremost. ' Cor-
diality was the most conspicuous element of the en-
tertainment— as noted, for Instance, in the fact that
many visitors were lodged in homes, the hotel facili-
ties being splendid but inadequate.

The banquet was held in the Methodist Episcopal
Church, the Ladies' Aid Society serving really mar-
velous food. The complimentary luncheon Friday
noon was also served by the women of this society,
at the church ; and the picnic supper, at the city park,
by the same ladies. Chicken was the chief item at
each of the three eating events.

Florists' talent provided most of the entertainment,
the chief performer being -the Kansas State Florists'
orchestra, organized and conducted by O. G. Rindom,
Emporia, Alfred Humfeld, as last year; -gave songs
and readings. "The Topeka contingent" put on many
impromptu features, staging a mock fight at the ban-
quet, and providing leadership for the yells and ac-
clamations of convention figures. This same Topeka
group provided also an artistic feature on Friday
afternoon, a playlet and dances in which Mildred
Bolinger, daughter of the Topeka florist, Mildred
Drebling, of the Hubbard organization in Topeka
and Mrs. Hubbard herself were the chief actors!
W. A. Bolinger, of the Rosery, Topeka. was yell leader
and general "pepper-up," with Mrs. Bolinger, active
assistant, especially in the impromptu singing.

Glen Bunch, brother of Loyd C, a grower at Clin-
ton, la., gave a saxaphone solo, and Edgar Jackson
contributed a reading. John A. Lambert, of the Ove
Gnatt Co., victim of the convention floral tribute joke
at Topeka a year ago, had the pleasure of getting
back at the crowd this year, presenting a bridal bou-
quet to Miss Olga Hubbard.

C. E. Hubbard gave several songs at the luncheon
Friday in his own peculiarly charming manner ; a
contest developed between him and the traveling men
as to which could hold out the longest in singing,
"Jolly Good Fellow."

Because of the very extensive work necessary by
Fredonia business men — a small group, in a town of
less than 5000 — and in recognition of Mr. Bunch's
valiant efforts for the convention and the association,
the displays were thrown open to the Fredonia public
on the last evening. The floral and supply displays
were almost intact, and most of the designs and bou-
quets made in the demonstrations remained for the
public to see. The cut flowers were all passed out to
the townsfolk — practically every member of the popu-
lation, of all ages, viewing the display, and evidently
appreciating it hugely.

The Exhibits of Members and the Trade

A new and interesting feature of the Kansas con-
vention displays was the showing of their products
by member growers. Loyd C. Bunch had a table of
his plants ; and in the center of the big room was a
large table on which were shown a particularly elab-
orate and handsome group of plants and cut flowers
from the Harry L. Smith gardens at Hutchinson.

Couplands, Cofleyvllle, had two displays, each small
in dimensions, but of importance and great interest to
florists. One was of Straw Flowers including unusu-
ally beautiful examples, the Couplands excelling in
both the production and use of this material. The
other display was of photographs of their place in
Coffeyville, which gave almost every florist sound ideas
on arrangement and stimulated them as to what can
be done in building a "real florist's business" In a com-
paratively small town. "Oouplands" is the word to use,
for "Cope" and Mrs. Coupland are constant partners in
the business.

C. A. Kuehn, "The Anchor tine," St. Louis, Mo., rep-
resented by C. A. Kuehn, Jr., and H. H. Holloway with
Mrs. Kuehn assisting, showed most interestingly flower
boxes with illuminated artificial blossoms, and other
supplies.

A. L. Randall Co., Chicago, represented by McKeown
and Trillow, had an attractive display of artificial flow-
ers, baskets, ribbons, and novelties.

Stuppy Supply Co., Kansas City, Mo., with J. M.
Griflis, representative, showed prepared Cycas, artifi-
cial flowers of wax and other materials, ribbons, etc.

A. Henderson, Chicago, S. P. Dernison, representative,
showed cut Glads and bulbs.

The Ove Gnatt Co., La Porte, Ind., J. A. Lambert
"Greeting you," had an elaborate booth, attractively
arranged, and full of suggestive material as well as
conveniences for the visiting florist.

In the booth of the Kansas City Wholesale Cut Flow-
er Co., L. R. Bohannon personally attended, with as-
sistants.

M. Bice Co., Philadelphia, provided a striking fea-
ture for its exhibit room, in the form of a valance,
bearing "Say it with Flowers." This was the back-
ground of a display, in charge of H. C. Heileman, a re-
cent comer to this territory, which included baskets,
fancy wreaths, and some interesting "brand new" nov-
elties.

M. H. levine Co., New York, Felix Wroobel, represen-
tative, had ribbons and chiffons on display.

P. H. Parker, Pt. Scott, Kan., showed examples of
his flower boxes and wooden baskets, stuccoed.

C. L. Dickmann Glass Co., Muskogee, Okla., A. T.
Priddy, representative, had samples of greenhouse glass
made for it at Okmulgee.

The Kishpaugh Plower Shop, Nowata, Okla., H. Kish-
paugh, owner, was exhibiting an invention, a glass clip,
the utility of which he demonstrated in frames, and
on which patent papers were received two days before
the convention.

Vaughan's Seed Store, Chicago, had a display of
Glads, including two remarkable new seedlings which
were much admired. A. S. Puffer, representative, was
frequently called on to tell about them.

C. C. Pollworth Co., Milwaukee, represented by L. R.
Pollworth, showed art flowers, ribbons, baskets and
novelties.

Pdehlmann Bros. Co., Chicago, represented by B. C.
Pruner, displayed supplies.

W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, represented by H. A.
Bertoli, exhibited cut flowers and had bulbs on display.

For the Florist — Efforts and Idealism

Address of President W. H. Culp before the Kansas

State Florists Association Convention, Fredonia,

Kan., Aug. 3 and 4, 1922

I SUPPOSE you have heard of the fellow who hap-
pened one day to find himself all dressed up with
nowhere to go. Well, in my case it is the reverse;
I feel that I have gotten somewhere all right, but am
not dressed up. Possibly I might (have appeared in
a dress suit tonight. But in our town the fellows
who have dress suits for rent are very careful gentle-
men, and did not like the idea of one going out of
the county.

Joking aside, I am glad to be here, and, aside from
the affliction of my talk, I believe you are going to

enjoy the rest of the evening almost as much as the
part already past, in which it seems everyone has
taken much interest. I believe it is a worth while
idea to be organized into an association such as we
have, and to get together at least once a year to meet
each other, get better acquainted, share our experi-
ences, discuss our problems and, while getting help
or some of our problems, finding it possible to help
others to solve theirs.

All this promotes the feeling of fellowship and co-
operation, and this spirit in turn makes it possible for
us to unite in promoting those ideas and principles
which are for the advancement of the craft at large,
and consequently the welfare of all individuals con-
nected with it.

That our craft shall succeed to the utmost, it is
imperative that we do all we can, much or little, here
or elsewhere. Do not look only for the big oppor-
tunities, but carry always with us the spirit of will-
ingness to be of service to someone else, who may be
in need of just what we can do so easily and with so
little self-sacrifice. As an investment, this policy can't
be beat, either from the standpoint of personal satis-
faction, or as a business getter.

Cooperation is a mighty slogan these days, and it
is no idle grouping of letters. Beginning with your-
self, your job, your family, your neighborhood or com-
munity, your county, State, or nation — none of these
would exist today but for the cooperation of interests
and of individuals to promote and bring about condi-
tions for the good of all.

Experiences of a State Vice-President

By the rules governing the affiliation of our or-
ganization with the S. A. F. and O. H, the president
of this body is a member of the Executive Board of
the National Society. Accordingly, late in February
I received a notice calling a meeting of that Execu-
tive Board, to be held in Indianapolis, March 27. A
second notice received some two weeks later was in
similar, somewhat mandatory terms, and contained
an additional list of subjects for consideration at
the called meeting. Having in mind our obligation
as an organization, and mine as an official therein, I
did arrange to be present, although the dates were
during our busiest rush of Spring work.

Most of you have read of, and seen pictures of the
Flower Show, and I will only state that neither pic-
tures or description could begin to do it justice. How-
ever, my visits were mainly incidental, made in a few
spare moments before or after committee sessions,
except one afternoon during which there was no
board meeting.

Except for myself and one or two other State vice-
presidents who are new at the game, the board is
composed of men whose names are household words
in the craft, and I certainly felt honored to meet
with them and share in their deliberations. The di-
rect, businesslike manner in which the Board dis-
patched its business was most noteworthy, and no
doubt furnishes one key to the secret of the success
of the members as individuals in the conducting of
their own business affairs.

Some Thoughts on the S. A. F.

In this connection, allow me to say that mighty
few of us realize how really big a thing the S. A. F. is.
If we will remember only a few of the things it has
done that we know about, and then stop to imagine
the condition the trade would be in, in this country,
if we had no central organization to protect our in-
terests or promote our welfare, we can get at a small
idea of its value to us. Hence we, on our part, should
all have a membership in the S. A. F. and help it in 1
every other way we can, towards a greater field of
usefulness.

One of the offshoots of the S. A. F., and one that
we are likely to use most any day in the year, is the
Florists Telegraph Delivery Association. Mr. Animann
has already given you a complete idea of its charac-
ter and scope, and I will not do more, now, than to
urge that every retail florist take out a membership.
Xou need the facilities of the F. T. D. and it needs
your cooperation and support.

A few words now about the craft here in the State
and I am through. While I have made no special
trips, the general impression seems to prevail that
the florists of Kansas have fared fairly well, all
things considered. The business slump, * of course,
made itself felt more or less, but the loss by shrink-
age in values was perhaps less severely felt by the
average florist than by those in many other lines.
This was due, I think, largely to the fact that most
of the stock sold by florists is sold so soon after pro-
duction that any shrinkage of values in between is
negligible. However there may have been, and prob-
ably were, cases where a shrinkage in demand may
have presented a serious problem to the grower who
was still producing at topnotch capacity. The remedy
of lowered prices -was ,open in such., cases, and in many
cases it helped stiniulate demand to such a degree
that serious loss was averted.

The Florists' Exchange

The Florist and His Idealism

It is also gratifying to note that the florist busi-
ness is steadily climbing to a dignified and recognized
position among the business enterprises of the commu-
nity, which is as it should be. In this connection al-
low me to say that others are not likely to think more
highly of your business or profession than you your-
,self. Do you realize that flowers are Nature's uni-
versal expression of sentiment? That while accident
or incident of world formation has given us the gran-
deur of mountain and plain, of field and river, the
awful solitude of the great mountains whose eternal
snowclad tops lie above the clouds, the furious storms
of the tropics, the overwhelming depths of the Grand
Canyon, or the restless and never ending movement
of the sea and even the heavens themselves; that
while these may inspire awe or terror, yet rarely does
the word beautiful fittingly describe one's feelings
unless it comes with the realization of the greatness
of Nature and the inexorableness of the law which
holds within her power everything of which we are
conscious.

But in the flowers and other vegetation of the
world, here is where Nature seems to speak to us,
softly, and in a universal language, a message of
love to the soul and of peace to the eyes. What one
of us, as we think of these things, is not inspired by
higher ideals ; and, being so inspired, is not something
more than a mere money grubber? The true florist
loves the flowers he works with, as does the artist his
picture or statue. True, he must sell them, and to
advantage, for business law is almost as inexorable
as Nature's ; but as Nature combines beauty with
service, as she clothes the fields with foliage and
flowers and still achieves her purpose, so the florist
and flower lover may use his art, and with flowers,
so adapt Nature's beauties that all the finer senti-
ments of heart and soul may find their most charm-
ing expression through that medium. Surely it is not
presumptuous for the florist to put his goods and his
profession on a high pedestal among the finer pur-
suits of life.

Shall we not, therefore, as we handle the flowers in
our daily work, be always alive to their beauty, and
always strive to give that beauty its best chance for
expression? And take for ourselves, as we go on
with our work day by day, the satisfaction that
comes to the artist as he finishes the tasks his heart
and his art inspires him to do?

This may at first sound a good deal like idealism.
Possibly it is. But remember what flowers are, and
what they do if properly used, and then stop and
consider if there is any other craft under the sun
which justifies, as does that of the florist, such an
idealism?

-Cause, Effect

Price Hiking on Special Days
and Cure

Address of 0. E. Hubbard, Kansas State Florists
Association, Aug. 3 and 4, 1922

I propose to discuss this subject under three head-
ings, namely : The grower, the wholesaler, and the
retailer who serves the public.

The grower is the hub of the industry, and it is to
him we look for favors. He produces the beautiful
that the whole world admires and appreciates. And
as he is the beginning of the industry which is still
in its infancy, I hope to see him continue to dispose
of his entire crop at reasonable prices, which will
cover his overhead expense and give a satisfactory
profit on his investment. I feel that he can do this
by grading his products and selling them at a value
determined by the supply and demand.

Using Roses and Carnations, for example, the grad-
ing of Roses should be governed by the length,
strength and straightness of stem, the size and color
of flower, and the foliage.

The second grade should be composed of flowers
that are not of sufficient quality to meet first grade
requirements; those of a quality not sufficient for
seconds should be classed as low grade. Carnations
should be handled in the same way and be made to
meet the same requirements.

The growing of potted plants helps to make the
business more interesting and profitable. The prices
of potted plants are pretty well established by the
size of the pots and are quite uniform.

We all know that the production of flowers at cer-
*?in. seasons of the year is not equal to the demand.
While the glass area is enormous, it is not sufficient ;
consequently the grading of both quality and quan-
tity would help to prevent the hiking of prices on
inferior stock, if Roses could be graded and sold by
the inch on a basis of quality their value would be
more easily established.

The Wholesaler and Commission Man

What is to become of this parasite in the florist
business? You cannot do without him. He is a nec-
essary evil. You depend on him for the majority of

your wants. Yet there is one consideration of vital
importance to both the grower and the retailer — and
that is, when the market is full to overflowing, the
commission man makes no difference in price to the
florist who buys of him every day or three times a
week as the case may be. Rather he charges him
the highest price possible for the class of stock sent,
instead of sending a better grade at a cheaper price
and thereby giving the retailer an opportunity to
move the better flowers first and thereby prevent a
glut and treat his regular customer with the courtesy
due him by letting him know the condition of the
market.

However, the commission man will sell a few hun-
dred or thousand flowers to a department store
(which hasn't any interest in the florist trade except
as a drawing card for its own business), at such an
unreasonably cheap price that the grower loses on
the better grades which are sold for almost nothing
but which should have gone into the hands of the
legitimate buyer for a fair price. Perhaps the lat-
ter's daily order comes to town with the cheap depart-
ment store stock by the same express and from the
same commission house, but at the highest possible
price. Consequently, the shipment to the florist is a
total loss.

I hope to see this practice, discontinued. When the
commission man gets inquiries for such events as
merchants' openings and the like, I believe he should
refer them to his best customer, who would then
have the opportunity to get the profit and continue
the trade in the channel in which it belongs.

Then, you ask, what is to be done with the low
grade stock? Well, there always is a demand for the
cheaper flowers for a class of work that does not re-
quire the best.

The Retailer's Position

He is represented by you, yourselves, and here you
have an opportunity to show your judgment in serving
the public by being able to figure your overhead re-
quirements, knowing the cost of what you are selling
and the amount of business it is necessary to do to
make a profit.

If you could buy your stock graded and know the
value of these grades you could take care of your
trade with a higher degree of intelligence. And if
other flowers were sold to the retailer in the same
way as potted plants he could buy much more intelli-
gently and meet the demands of the people he serves.
If his trade is with "the 400" the long stemmed, high-
class flowers are what he needs. If he sells to the
"1000 and one" he should buy medium class stock.
The responsibility for hiking prices is forced upon
the retailer by the uncertainty of the quality of stock
and the unreliable price, caused by the unjust meth-
ods of the wholesaler.

Being compelled to overbuy the essentials of his
business and getting inferior grades for first grade
prices he naturally tends to make the wholesale mar-
ket stronger and prices higher.

I believe that when there is an oversupply of flow-
ers, a one day sale can well be put on at a cheaper
price to clean it up. This will induce a great many
people to buy flowers who are not flower buyers and
will not affect the regular retail price at all.

At holiday times the buying public encourages the
florist to offer a better grade of flowers and is willing
to pay a better price. For example, a young man
wishing to send his sweetheart a present of Roses
will much prefer to send one dozen fancy ones than
two dozen medium blooms for the same money.

I believe the F. T. D. News' weekly report on the
market prices of cut flowers and plants has been a
great help to us in taking orders and executing them
with better judgment, as we really see about what
price we can expect; this enables us to fill orders in
a way that is a credit to our brother florists as well
as ourselves. I hope to see the time when all F. T. D.
members will see the folly of filling a $25 order with
a dozen Snapdragons with a wholesale value of $3
per doz.

Patronize Your Local Growers

While visiting last Fall we saw one of the best
stores selling California Chrysanthemums at $15 and
$18 per doz. We were told that they would not pay
the wholesaler his price for homegrown flowers
(which was $5 per doz. that day), although his flow-
ers were much the better stock ; they would not be
gulled ! The buyer was not considering the stock, but
only the original price, forgetting the express, pack-
ing and waste. He only considered the appearance
of the flowers while in the refrigerator at 40 deg.,
and the value of a satisfied customer was overlooked.
As a matter of fact he was gulling his customer. This
is a failing which many florists practice. They may
have a very creditable grower in their district who
could supply many of their special wants at impor-
tant times as well as their usual supplies each day,
and whose stock would not only be a credit to them,
but a satisfaction to their customers; but they ig-

nore him ami buy shipped in goods for the sake of a
slightly lower first cost.

I believe in sustaining the advertising system of
the F. T. D. News and spending what money we can
spare on our own publicity fund, as the advertisiug
done by the S. A. F. and the F. T. D. has brought
us additional orders from all parts of the country.
It would have been impossible for us to have gotten
this business in any other way. If you are a member
you are under an obligation to support the work the
same as any other member, as all members should
give it the same hearty support whether in money
or in loyalty.

We have a group of advertisers who are soliciting
all of the time, and who have no interest in our busi-
ness except what they can extract from the cash
register, for a series of cards with high and unrea-
sonable prices which fall into the hands of the
wealthy people. The largest increase in our business
has come from the working class of people, who have
earned a better salary than ever before and have
spent it freely, and who know nothing of this card
advertising system.

The Bad Effect of Too High Prices

I trust that the trade has suffered no setback
from the fact that during the recent times of the high-
est prices we have sold all that we have been able
to produce at fabulous prices. My honest opinion is
that the people of the United States really love flow-
ers better today than ever before and look forward
with greater anticipation than ever to receiving fresh
flowers on all possible occasions.

In conclusion, I want to explain that price hiking
was in vogue before our time ; consequently I do not
feel that we should be held responsible for the custom.

The growing and selling of choice plants for the
holidays should be featured very strongly. The grow-
ing of bulbous stock and annuals which can be planted
and brought to maturity at different seasons will
help make the variety available much larger and
help maintain a much more uniform price.

When we have accomplished our grading system
with a better understanding of values for the grower,
the commission man and ourselves, we will have ac-
complished a cure for price hiking to unreasonable
values. Then, with a good, fair, honest policy adopted
by every one engaged in the business, we will enjoy a
maximum of trade for all time to come.

The Florist and the Entomologist— Some of
Their Common Problems

By Prof. S. J. Hunter, State Entomologist, before the

Kansas State Florists Association, Fredonm,

Aug. 3 and 4

The entomologist and the florist have always had
problems in common, both biological and practical
and have mutually helped one another's work. We
are indebted to a florist for the discovery of one of
the great laws of heredity. Surely no one does more
to increase our joys and soften our sorrows than the
man who speaks with flowers.

Some of our problems are new, some are old and
familiar. Among the newer phases of the florist's
trade is landscape architecture, and with it comes the
propagation, sale and shipment of hardy perennials.
These, then, enter State and interstate commerce
and become subject to legislative regulations that
are doubtless new to some of you. In some States
all greenhouse stock comes under these regulations.
A brief resume of this question as it has developed
in Kansas may, therefore, be of interest.

How Kansas Meets the Pest Problem

In the Fall of 1S96, Kansas nurserymen, florists
and individual shippers learned that transportation
companies could not accept for shipment uninspected
plants, trees and shrubs. Accordingly our depart-
ment of the University of Kansas was called upon
to make these inspections in an unofficial way and to
certify them simply as a teacher of entomology there.
In 1900 it became necessary to have this inspection
made officially and at the request of those interested,
the Governor was asked to appoint the professor of
entomology as State inspector of nurseries. This po-
sition continued until 1907, when our present State
law was passed, creating the Kansas State Entomolo-
gical Commission. This commission consists of the
secretary of the State Board of Agriculture (chair-
man), the secretary of the State Horticultural So-
ciety (secretary), the professors of entomology in
the university and in the State Agricultural College,
and an active nurseryman, appointed by the Governor,
as the fifth member. The law specifically states that
these officers shall serve as such without salary.

Practically every State and territory in the 'union
has a law similar in purport to ours, which, however,
it may be said, is recognized as one of the simplest
and yet most efficient. So far as we know, it is the
only law that the Supreme Court has declared con-
stitutional, all judges concurring.

4ld

The Florists' Exchange

The Federal Plant Quarantine Act

In 1912 Congress passed a law creating a Federal
Horticultural Board which regulates the character
of all imported plant materials and all stock carried
in interstate commerce. Quarantine No. 37, under
this law. has been subject to much discussion. All
such laws and regulations, doubtless, give rise to
questions o£ their necessity, and those not familiar
with the questions and larger problems at stake are
likely to look upon their restrictions as undue inter-
ference.

The purpose of all these laws is not only to pre-
vent the introduction into new areas of insects and
plant diseases, but likewise to control and stamp out
those that, do gain a foothold. Over one-half the
principal injurious insects now prevalent in this coun-
try are aliens brought over from foreign countries.
Most of these are in their native lands kept in check
bv natural enemies ; when they are imported, the ene-
mies are left at home and, like pioneers in a new
country, these alien pests thrive without competition
or restraint. Time will not permit a narration of the
numerous instances wherein Kansas has benefited
from the provisions of this legislation.

Perennial Plant and Greenhouse Problems

The work of the entomologist was at first largely
concerned with stock grown in the open. In recent
years, however, due to the large demand for land-
scape work, many of our Kansas florists have added
hardy perennials to their growing stock. One insect
which has gained a foothold in Kansas and against
which there is a quarantine requirement is the San
Jose scale. I would say to the florists here that no
hardy perennial should be grown in the vicinity of
fruit stock, especially the Peach, since the scale
grows very rapidly on the latter and will soon spread
to the hardy perennials, thus prohibiting their sale or
shipment.

A second problem, and one which has concerned
you for many years, is that of the insects in the
greenhouse. It is a difficult one since the plants af-
fected are so delicate as to prohibit the use of insecti-
cides of sufficient strength to insure complete eradica-
tion of the insects, such as red spider, mealy bugs,
white fly, thrips and the various forms of plant lice.

It has been my own experience that the most satis-
factory way to deal with these forms is to consider
them always as a possibility and prevent damage
from them through mild and continuous applications
of simple remedial measures. First among these I
should place the use of soapsuds. If I were in the
greenhouse business, I would endeavor to work out
some plan whereby the water applied to the green-
house stock would run through a receptacle filled
with common laundry soap. For some time past, I
have experienced considerable difficulty in controlling
a white mite which attacks and kills the foliage of
the Sweet Violet. The most beneficial remedy I have
found is the weekly application of the soapsuds from
the household laundry.

L E. Flindt

(See Portrait, page 3S7)

L. E. Flindt, newly elected president of the Kansas
State Florists Association, was "raised" in a green-
house, and to his early training as a grower he has
added in the past few years unusual success in re-
tailing flowers. He was born a little more than 40
years ago — enough more so that he has spent 27 years
in the business of growing flowers. He left school
at 12 years of age to go to work in the greenhouses of
his uncles, Grohman Bros., at Saginaw, Mich. About
12 years he spent there, then nearly another 12 years
with the Kimball Co., in Iowa, and then three or four
years in various places for the sake of additional ex-
perience. Six years ago he, with W. H. Magner es-
tablished the A. C. Floral Co. at Arkansas City, Kans.
The firm now has 20,000 sq. ft. of glass and also a
downtown store. It grows a general line of pot flow-
ers and Carnations, but no Boses. A branch store was
opened a year ago at Pawhuska, Okla. and a glass
range will be erected there in the next year or so.

Mr. Flindt has been a member of the S. A. F. for
years ; he was one of the organizers of the Kansas
State Florists Association, and has been a director of

Wisconsin State Florists Association

Summer Convention

Members of the Wisconsin State Florists Associa-
tion enjoyed a most interesting Summer convention
at Oshkosh the closing days of July. It was the third
annual affair of the kind. About 200 participated.

President Frederick Bentsehler of Madison opened
the session. Mayor A. C. McHenry of Oshkosh, who
is a candidate for the Republican nomination for
Governor, delivered the address of welcome. C. C.

Pollworth. one of the best known florists of Mil-
waukee, responded.

J. P. Keating, of Oshkosh. assessor of income taxes,
delivered an address on "Taxation;" S. B. Fracker,
of Madison, State entomologist, discussed "Plant
Diseases." The remarkable growth of the Florists
Telegraph Delivery Association was reviewed by Field
Manager J. F. Ammann of Detroit. A question box
developed an interesting discussion.

The first day's meeting closed with a banquet and
dancing at the municipal club house. The next day
the visitors enjoyed a ride up the picturesque Fox
River. A motor car trip to Neenah was one of the
features. The employees of the Ward B. Davis Flower
Shop acted as hosts at a luncheon. Returning to
Oshkosh the party enjoyed a boat ride on broad and
beautiful Lake Winnebago.

Twelve new names were added to the membership
roll, the organization now having an enrollment of
1S5. An idea of the great forward strides being made
bv the Wisconsin florists will be gained when it is
known that the State has more than 4,000,000 sq. ft.
of hothouse property, valued at about $1 a sq. ft.

N. A. Rasmussen urged an extensive exhibit of
flowers at the State fair to be held in Milwaukee dur-
ing the last week of August.

Councilman J. C. Voss made a hit in an address in
which he emphasized the benefits floriculture had
conferred upon the world. He said he would para-
phrase Goethe's famous saying, so that it would read,
"He who does not love flowers, women and song must
be an old grouch."

One of the most interesting features of the gather-
ing was the singing of a song composed for the occa-
sion by Walter J. Crawford. It is entitled "Say it
with Flowers !" and the words are as follows :
If a deed of kindness you would do,
If you'd tell of tender love so true.
Find the blossoms, kissed by morning dew —
Say it with flowers.

When deep sorrowed clouds bedim the skies,
Let the flowers tell of friendship's ties,
Bid them drive the tears from saddened eyes —
Say it with flowers.

Think, then, what to us this world would be
Without flowers, God's gift, so rich and free!
This their message sweet to you and me —
"Say it with flowers."
The members of the arrangements committee of the
Oshkosh Florists Club received many congratulations
for the tasteful manner in which they decorated the
hall where the meeting was held. There was a profu-
sion of Gladioli. The committee was composed of J. B.
Taylor, chairman ; Carl Fugleburg, J. V. Nelson, R. E.
Pamplin, W. Bucholz and Ward B. Davis.

J. R. W.

as secretary-treasurer ; no other nominations being
made, he was declared elected.

The following directors were appointed to serve
with Mr. McCallum and Mr. Buseck, by the president i
J. E. Wholey, of J. J. Fallon Co., Raleigh; Will
Reheder, Wilmington; C. N. Hibberd, of Durham
Floral Co., Durham.

Directors' Meeting

The exhibit at State Fair taken up and discussed,
Mr. Wholey stating that the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph Companies had agreed to each have
a booth in conjunction with our floral exhibit, fea-
turing the F. T. D.

Mr. Wholey was instructed to procure suitable signs
for the F. T. D. exhibit, providing Mr. Buseck could
not get them from the F. T. D. Association.

North Carolina State Florists' Association

Annual Meeting Raleigh, July 25

The meeting was opened by invocation by Geo. J.
Starr. The address of welcome was made by Simms
Jamieson, secretary Chamber of Commerce, Raleigh,
N. O, in response to which C. N. Hibberd, of Dur-
ham, N. C, was the appointed speaker. A basket of
flowers was presented to Mr. Jamieson, on behalf of
the association, by Mrs. Cobb, of Durham.

Following the secretary's report, an interesting
paper on "The F. T. D." was read by Secretary Otto
Buseck, of Asheville.

Attention was called by President J. I. McCallum,
to a hill now before Congress, H.R. 8441, which pro-
poses to eliminate special delivery features from par-
cel post. On motion, the incoming secretary was
ordered to prepare a form letter protesting against
the passage of this bill and that a copy of it be mailed
to each member of the association, that he might
send it to his particular Congressman.

J. E. Wholey presented the matter of the "Fair
Exhibit" to the association, explaining in detail the
number of exhibits that could be procured; the fol-
lowing firms will be represented : J. J. Fallon Co.,
Scholtz, The Florist. Inc., Starr, The Florist, Wilson ;
Piedmont Flower Shop, Durham; Middlemount Gar-
dens, Van Lindley Co., McCarron Flower Shop, Ra-
leigh ; Durham Floral Co., Durham.

The following committee was appointed by the
president to take care of the Fair Exhibit : C. N. Hib-
berd, Durham ; J. E. Wholey, Raleigh ; Otto Buseck,
Asheville.

Election of Officers

The president then announced that nominations for
officers for the following year were in order. Motion
was made by Mir. Buseck that the same officers be
elected for the year, but by request the motion was
withdrawn, and the following nominations were made :
J. I. McCallum, Charlotte, for president. No other
nominations being made, he was declared elected.
Otto Buseck, Asheville, was nominated for re-election

Dahlia Propagation

Judging by the letter, headed "Overpropagation,"
on page 10 of our last Bulletin, I am afraid my
friend, C. Louis Ailing, misunderstood my note on
propagation, for, to top early rooted cuttings time
and again during the season and strike these tops
would be a suicidal policy, one that I have never seen
practiced. What I referred to was the propagation of
all shoots produced by the old clump which was bed-
ded up around the first of the year. Started cool, it is
usually about the 1st of February ere any cuttings are
ready, but from then until the propagating season
closes, a batch is taken off every week or ten days.
As Mr. Ailing is doubtless aware, "green plants" only
are planted in England and Scotland, therefore grow-
ers on the other side have to propagate their stock
each year; the Dahlia specialist does not require the
immense fields of plants we do on this side, 12 to 24 '
or so of a variety giving him all the propagating
stock he requires, for he does not, as a rule, market
the blooms.

My firm belief is that some stocks will "run back"
at times, whether it is increased by division of the
root or by cuttings. The plan I have always followed
has been to discard any plants that showed signs of
reversion, and in this way held my stock up to top-
notch.

I fancy the reason why the old British varieties
have stood the test of time is not due so much to
their rugged nature as to the care exercised in propa-
gating from plants that have shown no signs of open
centers. All I know about Dahlias I learned on the
"other side," and there, all honest growers it was my
privilege to meet marked those plants which gave
any indication of "going back" and discarded them;
as previously stated, that has always been my prac-
tice. A variety that should be double, but has thrown
open centered flowers the entire season, is only fit for
the rubbish heap. — Geo. W. Keee, in A. D. S. Bulletin.

The One Thing Needful. — Mrs. Brown — I hear the
Vicar thinks your daughter has a real genius for reciting,
Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Smith — Yes. All she wants, he says
to me, is a course of electrocution, just to finish her off
like. — London Opinion.

The Florists' Exchange

413

Canadian Florists and Gardeners Association

{Concluded from page 389)

Thirty years ago a little band of dreamers caught
a glimpse of a brotherhood of florists working along
the lines of a real cooperation, uniting in some great
beneficent work for mankind, and we have the Faith,
Truth and Determination of the P. T. D. with all its
glorious possibility. Twenty-five years ago another
little group of men saw a vision and, though small
in numbers, started out with high purpose and firm
resolve to bring men and women into comradeship
and service ; and this association, with all its power
for good, is the result.

A Plea for Brotherhood

Does not this lead naturally up to the thought on
which I close, that of brotherliness? Is it not a strik-
ing fact that the organizations such as those I have
named, the societies that today are admittedly filling
the largest place in the lives of men and nations are
those built upon this great abiding principle? We
are glad to be in line and I plead for a still clearer
vision of the eternal truth that :

"There is a destiny that makes us brothers,

None goes his way alone ;
All that we send into the lives of others
Comes back into our own.''

If it is not out of place to paraphrase a Scripture
I would like to say "Seek ye first the Kingdom of
brotherhood and all these things shall be added unto
you." We sometimes are tempted to look back to
what we like to call the good old times. Occasion-
ally we try to catch a glimpse down the vista of the
coming years of a golden age or a good time coming,
but the longer I live the stronger grows the convic-
tion that the only time and the only age in which
things will be any better than they are today, will
be when men and women more perfectly learn the
article, "I believe in the brotherhood of man."

Just so far as each and every one of us is setting
up this ideal; is hitching our wagon to that star,
just so far are we hastening the dawning of the day
of promise, the day about which our poets have sung,
for which our preachers have prayed. The day toward
which the eyes of the best men all down the ages
have been every turned and of which the immortal
bard of the fatherland of some of you surely had a
clear cut vision when he sang:

"But let us pray that come it may

As come it will for a' that;
That sense an' worth o'er a' the earth

May bear the gree an' a' that,
For a' that an' a' that

It's coming yet for a' that
That man to man the world o'er

Shall brithers be for a' that."

From America to Canada

Greetings from the S. A. F. to the C. F. G. A. Con-
vention, Delivered by Chas. H. Totty, Madison, N. J.

I am here today, gentlemen, to convey to you the
greetings and congratulations of the president of the
Society of American Florists and Ornamental Horti-
culturists, Samuel S. Pennock, and I only regret that
he is not able to be with you in person.

I understand that a Committee of Close Relations
is to be formed to cement still further the bond of
friendship and cooperation between the S. A. F. and
the Canadian Gardeners and Florists Association.
What is more fitting than that we should get to-
gether? We are engaged in the same business, speak
the same language, are working for the same ideals
and grappling with the same business problems, in
both the growing and marketing of our products. How
true it is that "horticulture has no frontiers." Many
of your florists are already members of the S. A. F.
and O. H., and I, in common with many other Ameri-
can florists, have the honor to be a member of your
society. In fact, our interests are so closely inter-
woven that there is a certain dependency upon each
other and we should continually strive to work with
and for each other in every possible way. In the
registration of new varieties of plants and flowers
for instance, for the sake of uniformity, I believe an
interchange should frequently be made between the
two organizations, so that a registration with either
would be accepted all over the North American con-
tinent.

Personally, I feel that one of the things most neces-
sary in our joint business is that it is elevated to its
proper plane as a business, so that a florist shall be
regarded as a real merchant and not, as I have heard
him called with good humored tolerance, "a fellow
with a 'bug' for flowers." -

Better Business Methods Needed

Let us improve each other's business methods.
Teach the florist to study his costs and overhead so

when he goes to the bank to borrow money, for in-
stance, he will be in a position to present a lucid
statement of his affairs. You may say this has little
bearing on horticulture, yet it has a peculiar bear-
ing because the florist, by the very nature of his busi-
ness, is compelled at certain seasons to be quite a
borrower. I feel quite strongly on this subject. In
fact, some years ago when I was president of the
S. A. F. I presented a proposition that the florists
organize their own bank, as other industries have
clone in the past with great profit and benefit to them-
selves. Such a bank with practical florists dictat-
ing its policies would be much better able to judge
the financial ability of a prospective borrower than
one with little or no interest in this line. The wide
extent of our country and the scattered distribution
are the barriers that make this impractical, but I
still feel that such a plan is feasible in the larger
centers of trade for the time when the florist is big
enough to sink his small differences with his fellow
florists and realizes the wisdom of one helping the
prosperity of all. The florist is rapidly learning to
keep track of costs and overhead ; in fact he is com-
pelled to do so lest he fall behind in the race.

Exchange Rates Easter; Qu. 37 Still a Barrier

Now that the United States dollar and the Cana-
dian dollar are once more at parity with each other,
the troubles that have resulted from the Canadian
florists' buying in the United States are all ironed
out. and there should be no more difficulty on ac-
count of the difference in exchange.

Work of the Daffodil Fly in California. See text.

The Canadian florist has some advantages denied
his American confreres, owing to the fact that Aza-
leas and many other such items are "taboo" with us
on account of the Federal Horticultural Board's rul-
ings. Still the American florists in the main seem
quite satisfied and report that people are taking
kindly to the substitutes offered in place of the stock
denied them. This same barrier acts of course dis-
advantageously for this Canadian florist shipping
stock into the United States, but I am sure every
florist here realizes that his embargo was not cre-
ated by the American florists wishing or trying to
corral their own market.

The F. T. D. and Its Future

One of the greatest links that serves to unite the
two countries is the F. T. D. A. Many of you are
already members of this organization and I believe
that in no far distant date every florist, not only in
the United States and Canada but also in European
countries, will join it, and thus be more closely
welded together for the common good.

Two years ago I toured France and Great Britain
and while the leaven had not started much in France,
I found considerable interest and not a few members
in Great Britain. In conversation with Max Schling,
in New York City, I learned that he could make de-
liveries in such far off countries as Palestine or Hong
Kong, on a few hours' notice. When we consider that
the world was in a turmoil only a year or so ago and
even yet is not entirely straightened out, I think this
is a wonderful achievement. The possibilities of this
particular phase of our business is absolutely unlim-
ited, not to mention the good that will result from
the closer contact between nations following busi-
ness operations such as this.

The Society of American Florists asks you through
its president to make suggestions for our mutual

benefit and improvement. Any proposition you can
advance that will work for our mutual interest will
be gladly received, discussed and acted on at our
convention in Kansas City next week.

There has always been the most friendly feeling
between the American and Canadian florists, and we
want this feeling to continue, to grow, and to prosper.

The Daffodil Fly in California

Much has been written regarding the suitability of
certain parts of California for bulb growing and the
intensive system of inspection of all kinds of horti-
cultural products in vogue there. Therefore, a small
package of Daffodil bulbs sent us by a well-known
seedsman of San Francisco, certainly gave us a jolt.

The bulbs were California grown, but whether for
cut blooms only or for sale as bulbs we do not know.
Generally speaking, and to outward appearances they
comprised quite a respectable sample, especially as
to size but, wrote the sender, "You will observe they
are infested with a worm or bug which has practi-
cally exterminated the grower's stock. Information
as to any means of saving the few not yet attacked
will be appreciated."

The bulbs certainly were severely infested — with
the larvse of the small Daffodil Fly, Eumerus strlga-
tus. Whereas a healthy bulb is firm and white at
heart, the centers of some of these were just a mass
of black, putrid pulp, while those of the remainder
were yellow, discolored and partially rotted. The lat-
ter each contained from six to a dozen wriggling
maggots about one-third inch in length; the larvae
had already deserted those in the more advanced
stages of decay.

We are not exactly surprised thus to learn that
this pest finds a home in California. Very probably
the large Narcissus Fly, Merodon equestris, is also
present there. Both species were probably intro-
duced into California as larvae in infested bulbs from
Holland. Considerable quantities of fly-infested bulbs
were at one time shipped by irresponsible Holland
exporters; we believe some of the English growers'
troubles with these flies and also with the eelworm,
were largely added to through such auction-dumped
bulbs.

Since the development of the hot water treatment,
both in England and Holland, we believe the losses
have been greatly reduced if not entirely circum-
vented, at least toy those who grow bulbs commer-
cially, and particularly since the war ended. During
the war years, we understand the losses of valuable
seedlings in England were exceptionally severe; the
owners of the stocks were too busy elsewhere to give
much attention to Daffodils.

We must, however, confess to some astonishment
on learning that one California grower, presumably
commercial, should have so severe an infestation of
fly. We are not told whether the bulbs were re-
cently imported ; we opine not, for we question
whether any bulbs leaving Holland in the past sea-
son or two have been afflicted either with fly, eel-
worm or mite, certainly not those from any grower
of repute. We may, therefore, assume that the bulbs
under notice have toeen growing in California for
some years. But, we may ask, why has not one of
the various inspectors been at hand to give aid where
it is so badly needed? The fact that the bulbs were
sent to The Exchange and bore on the outside of the
package, "Passed by Horticultural Commissioner of
San Francisco," would almost suggest that no one
there could proffer the needful information. The
question of the wisdom of permitting bulbs in such
a condition to be shipped out of the State is an in-
teresting one, especially in the light of California's
intolerance of plant imports from other sections and
countries.

We have no information as to the quantity of bulbs
grown in the district from which these bulbs came,
but large or small, steps should be taken to check the
fly there. Both the Eumerus and Merodon flies are
active and doubtless can travel considerable dis-
tances. Moreover, the small fly is not averse to at-
tacking rhizomatic Iris, Onions and Shallots. Let
this fly once get into the Onion fields and seeds grow-
ers may suddenly wake up to the fact that all their
stock bulbs have apparently rotted after planting.

We may mention that the method of clearing Daffo-
dils of eelworm and mite, is also effective against
fly. It is the only method practicable for the flies
which resemble bees, but have only one pair of
wings, are active and not easily caught.

Suspected bulbs are easily detected by pressing
them between the fingers. Soft bulbs are usually
affected beyond hope, and are best burned. "Those
that yield slightly may be suspected and probably
contain the larva? of the small fly, Eumerus. Bulbs
that are soft near the neck only may be suspected of
harboring one of the larva; of the large fly, Merodon,
which rarely lays more than one egg on a bulb. The
small fly, on the other hand, drops a dozen or more

414

The Florists' Exchange

around each bulb, usually at or below the soil sur-
face. The larvse of the large fly is easily recognized,
as it may be nearly lin. in length and solitary;
whereas that of the small fly is only about one-quarter
inch long and is invariably found in numbers.

Soaking the bulbs for 24 hours in water at 110 deg.
F. is death to these pests and it is because of the
efficiency of this treatment that Dr. van Slogteren of
Holland was able to declare at the Washington Con-
ference that he could guarantee to supply a million
bulbs without a single diseased sample being included.

Gypsophila paniculata

SINCE Qu. 37 put an end to the import of the dou-
ble form of this delightful plant, the supply has
more or less dried up because only a few have
the knowledge of its propagation. Even allowing that
some do know, it is perhaps too slow a process for the
hustling grower who wants stock here today and out
tomorrow.

Such cannot be the case with double Gypsophila
and, as a result I suppose it is practically impos-
sible for any commercial man to buy any quantity
stock at a price anywhere near the figure it used to
be imported at. I can imagine the local retail-grower,
assuming he has no stock, arguing that the price on
Gypsophila as a cut flower, couldn't be made to fit
in with the price of good plants. As a result, maybe,
he goes without or raises some seedlings.

Lots of growers are raising or have raised seedlings
and doubtless lots of people are grateful to get them,
poor as they are apt to he, because those who set out
to raise perennials on the mass production plan, don't
usually look for the most expensive seed ; neither do
they specially flower them and "cull" out the duds.

The Variability of Gypsophila

It would appear that these perennial raisers have
not found out that there is considerable variation
even in Gypsophila seedlings ; lots of them are gray
instead of white and the habit is all anywhere; in
fact it's just as possible to find good, bad and indiffer-
ent forms in a batch of seedling Gypsophila as it is
in Delphiniums but, seeing how much superior is the
double to the single, except that the latter is apt to
be earlier, I am given to wondering why growers in
the past three years or so have bothered about single
seed. True, the double seed may not yield 50 per
cent double, but what of it to the man who grows
for cut bloom. The singles can be routed out and
incidentally the doubles could be culled.

Think you the new Snow White double offered as
seed this year, came by chance. Surely not ; it was
found in a batch and kept for seeding until after a
series of years enough seed was available to offer.
Not a one year proposition this but many, because
seedling Gypsophila plants less than three year es-
tablished don't make much of a show. As for the
general stock of double Gypsophila plants handled,
how many are really a tiptop form? See as I have,
an acre of plants for cut bloom and note the varia-
tions, proof that they were not propagated from one
stock. The plants may differ' in habit, height, color
and size of foliage as well as in the degree of white-
ness of bloom. Some are gray, the singles more so.
Even more important, the plants may vary in time
of flowering.

With English market men, the single is about ten
days or so earlier than the double; if it wasn't the
single would serve no purpose save as a stock for
grafting. But the single will not even be able to
claim earliness — earliness means better prices — for
some day there will be a double Snow White that will
put the single out of court.

An Early Double Some Day

I was once in a seed ground with a market florist
and pointing to a break of double Gypsophila. I re-
marked, see anything? Did he? He could see one
plant a week or two ahead of the rest and when his
own was only in bud. I'll give five "quid" for that
plant, he exclaimed ! He didn't get it, for the seed
grower had been nursing that plant for three years
and had two generations of seedlings from it.

There is lots to be learned about double Gypsophila.
I believe it was Ruys of Holland who introduced it
and some time elapsed before it was realized that
grafting was the only method of increase, at least it
was so until a seedling strain cropped up as did the
seeding strain of Delphinium Belladonna. But, as
might be expected, the double Gypsophila seed does
not, and probably never will, give a big percentage of
doubles, and variations will always be found.

On Raising Stock

As to grafting, one may even select one root as a
type and the resultant plants may vary in habit, be-
cause the seedling stocks are so variable. Some peo-
ple declare root cuttings of Gypsophila will make
plants, but while I could get plenty of Papaver roots
to make growth, I never saw a Gypsophila root with-
out visible eyes start growth, and it is not an easy
proposition, and certainly not a quick method, to take
portions of a root with an eye and make plants of
them. Providing one has the one year seedlings and
a good stock of big double roots, it is faii-ly easy to
raise stock during the Winter, for the old crowns
started in a warm house will send up lots of eyes
which, taken off with a small piece of root, can be
clapped on the seedling roots. In a closed frame in-
side a house one can get a good stand.

Those who have no stock and who are not prepared
to pay the price asked for good grafted stock should
do the next best thing — raise a batch of double seed-
lings, Snow White for preference, but don't imagine
one year from now you will have big plants and
sheaves of bloom. Gypsophila doesn't grow that
way. W.

That Hailstorm at York, Pa.

In a previous issue we gave an account of the
terrific hailstorm damage visited upon a number of
the florists of that vicinity. Through the kindness of
H. S. Brandt, who was one of the leading sufferers
from this visitation, we are enabled to produce a pic-
ture showing the loss of practically all his glass.
The illustration will give our readers some idea of
the damage which can be done by hail in a very few
minutes. Mr. Brandt tells us that his loss on July 28
amounted to nearly $10,000 between the damage to
glass and his crops. The corrected report of actual
additional loss is now given as' follows: August
Schaefer, nearly wiped out, loss $10,000; John Dau-
ber, nearly wiped out, loss $6000; W. S. Yingling,

nearly wiped out, loss $3000. Chas. Schaefer losij'
nearly 100 boxes of glass. Chas. E. Smith & Soi
were the only ones to escape, their loss being con
fined to 50 panes of broken glass. Hail fell as largi,
as hen's eggs and the ground was covered, no troubli!
shoveling it up. At the Brandt establishment ai
automobile that was standing outside had its tor1
riddled with holes some 6in. in length.

Unfortunately, insofar as we know, the only growei
covered was H. S. Brandt, who carried hail insur
ance. It is the old story over and over again, "Th<
hail belt does not extend into this territory." So
far as our observations go, however, for the past 3(
years, hail has left its mark in broken glass over ths
greater portion of the United States. The cost ol,i
insurance is not so great and the florists are mosl
fortunate indeed in being able to protect themselves
from loss through hail by one of the best manned
mutual insurance companies in the country, The Flo-

grower's interest to see that he is protected.

The Late J. E. Matthewson

From the Sheboygan Press-Telegram, we learn thai
immense throngs of people took part in the funeral
rites of the late J. E. Matthewson of Sheboygan,
Wis., on Friday, July 28. Throughout the city, flags
were at half mast and in the vicinity of his home,
vast numbers of autos were lined up, many coming
from Chicago, Milwaukee, Fond du Lac, and other
places. Prior to the funeral, thousands of people
passed through the house to take a last look at poor.
"Jim," whose features still bore the cheery smile he
was wont to wear.

Veritable mountains of flowers were sent in by
friends, the Wisconsin State Florists Association be-
ing represented by an immense wreath ; scores of
other pieces came from the various organizations with
which Mr. Matthewson was, or had been, connected
with.

The funeral services were conducted by the Rev.
M. R. Brant, who made a most eloquent tribute to
. their dear friend. The procession to the burial grounds
was more in keeping with some great ruler's funeral
rites, showing the esteem with which Mr. Matthewson
was held.

The accident which caused the death of this well-
known florist was, it would appear, due to the some-
what reckless handling of the sedan. The driver lost
control, and the car was thrown into the ditch, Mr.
Matthewson and the driver toeing hurled through the
roof. The driver escaped serious injury, but Mr. Mat-
thewson was flung in front of the car which somer-
saulted on top of him, killing him almost instantly.

Possibilities of English Coal

(Special to The Florists Exchange)

Washington, D. C. — The average British bitumi-
nous coal is equal to our West Virginia bituminous
coal of the best grades, according to information ob-
tained by the Washington Bureau of The Florists
Exchange from the Bureau of Mines. Bureau officials
state, however, that they are without definite infor-
mation as to the burning qualities of the British bitu-
minous because for some reason the British authori-
ties give volatile matter, fixed carbon and ash, but
do not record b.t.u. Unofficial estimates place the
latter at 14,000, while our own coal will run any-
where from 11.000 for the Middle West coal and
steam sizes of anthracite up to 14,800 for our best
grades of bituminous. Nova Scotia coal rates con-
siderably lower than ours.

"As a general rule," they say, "British coal is a
low volatile matter coal, and on the average will run
less ash than the American, because the British opera-
tors pick out more of the impurities than do the
American operators.

"The general grade of the coal exported to the
United States from Great Britain is a little better
than our own, but one cannot tell what we will get
in an emergency."

From other sources in Washington the information
is gleaned that in view of the action of our own coal
operators three years ago in sending over anything
they could get their hands on, there is the possibility
that now that there is a shortage here the British
may reciprocate and send us their odds and ends.

Pure Canadian Rye

This isn't horticultural, but it's good. Newark,
N. J., was recently favored with elaborate circulars
through lite mails offering "pure Canadian Rye" at
$3 a bottle. Many bit on, including the prohibition
agent who sent off $18 in the hope of nailing a boot-
legger's nest. He got his six bottles, but when he
uncorked one and proceeded to pour out, a sound like
pebble instead of liquid proceeded from the glass.
Rye it surely was, and possibly Canadian, but the sort
one gives 1 o chickens.

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

Two Stories

From Attleboro, Mass., comes a tale
about a farmer who, after planting a num-
ber of rows of Corn, discovered that the
fertilizer he covered the seed with was
cement.

That's all right as a story, but what
kind of a farmer would ever venture to
cover Corn or any other seed with ferti-
lizer?

Let's pass on.

At Jefferson, la., another farmer— I
suppose the newspaper folks never will
get it out of their heads that anyone who
works a bit of ground is not necessarily
a farmer — sowed a 40 acre field with
Clover last Spring. The field is a mass
of flowering Daisies, and the farmer
blames some "mooning" seed clerk in an
eastern store for the mistake.

It strikes me that in a case of this
kind it was the farmer who went "moon-
ing," for if he couldn't tell the difference
between Clover seed, which is round, and
Daisy seed, which like that of all com-

Eosites is flat and long, it's about time
e had a look around a seed shop.
But there, maybe it's only a story.

Who Said New York was Dry?

Ours is a perfect climate said a New
Yorker to me several years ago. It is;
whatever it sets out to be it is. This
Summer it decided to be wet, perfectly
wet, so we've had 14.40in. of rain in two
months; 7.86in. in June; 6.54in. in July,
and Aug. 1 starts off with about an inch,
with rain every day following up to the
5th. I've sworn off straw hats, for I'm
convinced that there is some connection
between them and wet weather. If any
natter thinks I'm out to buy Bankoks
every week, he can guess again. As for
gardening, I'm forgetting how.

Green Manuring

There has been such a lot of talk about
green manuring the past two or three
years that perhaps some people, including
those responsible for the various State
bulletins, are under the impression that
it is a new and valuable discovery.

Anyway, the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture
thinks it desirable to mention that green
manuring was practiced by the ancient
Komans, and that for the past century or
two the sandy soils of Germany, England,
India, etc., have been greatly developed
by digging or plowing in legumes.

New Ideas in Fertilizing

What are new propositions, however,
are the proposals to increase plant growth
by carbonic gas and denitrifying bacteria.

There are people still interested in the
development of a machine patent for
manufacturing carbonic gas for use in
greenhouses, presumably from the waste
gases in the furnaces, while the bacteria
idea is being tried out on practical lines
by two or three growers.

We have for many years been aware
that bacteria play a big part in soils, and
it has been recognized that the nitrifying
bacteria influenced the value of all ma-
nures and fertilizers. The latest notion,
however, is that it is the denitrifying bac-
teria which are the main factor, and if
the theories of an engineer are borne out
through experiments by disinterested
people, we may see a revelation in plant
feeding methods. It is generally under-
stood that all soils have elements of fer-
tility largely unavailable. These elements
are never exhausted so long as the right
bacteria are present. The proposition,
therefore, is to apply the bacteria, mixed
with peat, and keep them on the go by
liquid dressings.

The late Prof. Bottomley had this idea,
too, but he went after the nitrifying bac-
teria which, according to the latest theory,
was in the wrong direction. Anyway,
we shall await results. If the idea is
right we can say good bye potash and all
the other manurial elements, and just
make bacteria provide all that is neces-
sary.

When Competition is Fierce

Reading up the report of the National
Rose Show, London, I observe that the
tables and decorative vase classes have
again reached a pitch necessitating an en-
tire tent. The last London Rose show I
visited before the war had a whole tent,
about 100ft.x55ft., devoted to these

classes, practically all contested by lady
members.

The recent exhibition had 34 entries in
the two table classes, and do you know
one of the most used varieties in the
double bloom class was Mme. Butterfly?
E. G. Hill seems to be an adept at intro-
ducing Roses that suit the requirements
of both America and England, tor at the
show referred to all the flowers were from
the open.

Rudbeckia purpurea

Fritz Bahr draws attention to this
hardy native plant. To modern botanists
it is Echinacea purpurea (at one time
Rudbeckia serotina), and it is sufficiently
distinct to merit allocation as a separate
genus.

It is an open question whether every-
one likes the purplish tint of E. purpurea,
although it is possible to find considerable
variation in a batch of seedlings. It is
hardly classible as a specially choice per-
ennial, being somewhat coarse in growth
and lacking refinement, due perhaps to
the fact that it has not received atten-
tion at the hands of the old time florists.
But where it is grown, so also should be
grown some of the true Rudbeckias,
which are invariably yellow.

The variety Golden Glow has its merits.
Some deny it has any, while R. Newmanii
and fulgida variabilis are both useful for
cutting, as is the annual species, R. bicolor
superba and its newer double form. The
Rudbeckias, together with the Heleniums,
are all serviceable for Fall blooming.

Artemisia lactiflora

Friend F. B. also makes mention of this
handsome plant, but he omits to mention
its strong perfume, which I liken at
Almond, although some class it as Haw-
thorn scented. It is hardly 12 years ago
that I first saw this shown. I believe it
was by Veiteh and that it gained an
A. M., and at the time I understood it
was new from China. Bailey quotes it
as a form of vulgaris, but to me it has
always seemed apart from any of the
Mugworts. I have never been able to
reconcile this hardy perennial with the
A. lactiflora quoted by Johnson as coming
from Nepaul, and which is described as a
greenhouse evergreen, flowering in Novem-
ber and introduced in 1828. If there ever
was an Artemisia lactiflora in 1828 it
certainly must be distinct from the species
under notice.

Why Restaurants Sell Few Vegetables

A. R. Juengling of Eden Valley, N. Y.,
describes in the Market Growers' Journal
why the sales of vegetables in restaurants
amount to only $1.50 of every $100 spent
in such places.

Of course, the reason is apparent to
most of us, but as Mr. Juengling is a
grower and frequently visits Childs res-
taurants in New York City, he is in a
position to study the question even more
closely. For instance, in early June, when
he was getting one or, at extreme, two
cents for large head Lettuce, Childs asked
him 20c. for a portion of this salading.
The same with Spinach, 20c. a portion,
and the grower getting 40c. to 50c. a
bushel. Corn, too, which brings the
grower lc. in the market, will cost that
same grower 10c. if he drops into a restau-
rant, but as Mr. Juengling says, of what
use is one ear of Corn; to get a real fill
one one need to spend 50c. for this one
vegetable. As for Peas, our ruminating
grower learned at Childs that no fresh
Peas had been handled this season, al-
though Peas in the market and in the
field were almost going begging at times.

It surely is enough to give a grower the
hump, and if there is to be any campaign
to encourage vegetable eating, the growers
and seedsmen will have to devote more at-
tention to the millions who feed in restau-
rants. It might be possible to start a
riot or something by offering Lettuce out-
side restaurants, marked with the price
the eating house people pay and what they
charge their patrons.

Offhand, I venture to hazard that a
salad sold at 35c. to 60c. in restaurants
costs first hand, including labor of pre-
paring, from 5c. to 10c. Small wonder
restaurants spring up overnight.

No Plants

Numerous references have been made by
various correspondents since June, that
plants in pots are almost non-existent, al-
though the public apparently wanted
them.

Whose fault is it? If the regular pot
plant grower cannot or doesn't care to
lay himself out to provide the markets with
plants, there is surely no reason why the

out of town florist grower should turn
away customers. People who want plants
cannot always be "bambed" into taking
cut flowers.

Stirring up my memory and consulting
the sales reports in Covent Garden during
June and July, these are some of the pot
lines on hand, regularly, not spasmodic,
mind you: Marguerites, white and yel-
low, Lilium longiflorum, Dorothy Perkins,
Excelsa and other Ramblers, Jessie, Or-
leans and other Polyantha Roses, Gerani-
ums in 4in. and 5in. pots, Pelargoniums,
Acer negundo variegata, Funkias, Silver
Euonymous, Hydrangea paniculata grandi-
flora, Campanula isophylla and others,
Lilium album and rubrum, palms and
ferns of all sorts, Verbena Miss Willmott
and others, Crassulas, Petunias, Viscarias,
Erica gracilis, Rodanthe, Fuschsias,
Kochia tricophylla, and Hydrangeas,
French varieties.

Add in the way of cut flowers for latter
end of July, Roses, Cattleyas and other
orchids, Carnations, the latter good
enough to make as high as $8 per 100,
Gloriosa superba, Valley, M. H. fern, As-
paragus, Stephanotis, Gardenias, Asters,
Gaillardias, Coreopsis, Cornflowers, Scabi-
ous, Gypsophila, white Pelargonium,
Mignonette, Statice various, Stocks, Sweet
Peas, some good enough to make 2c. a
spray, Achillea Pearl, Iceland Poppies,
Delphinium, Daisies, Godetia, Clarkia
Alstromeria and Gladioli baby and large
types.

Now what about it?

Sweet Peas Getting Bigger

There was a time when I thought I
was doing mighty fine with Sweet Peas
2in. to 214in. across the standard and
that was only possible after Bolton's,
John Ingman, Mrs. Hardcastle Sykes and
the like came to light. Now it would
seem that the craekerjacks develop an-
other half an inch. I read that visitors
at Lowe & Shawyer's observed a bright
rose seedling with 2%in. standards and a
writer mentions that in a private garden,
he found lots of blooms of the same
diameter. 'Pon my word, I'll have to
bust up my ground another two feet; I
want some 3in. Sweet Pea flowers next

What Price Qu. 37

The Horticultural Advertiser (British)
wonders whether American buyers appre-
ciate the results of Qu. 37 which makes
California grown Anemones $27 to $35
a thousand against the Holland price of
$2 to $7 and Ranunculus tubers at fifteen
times the price of Dutch stock. No need
to wonder; it can only mean that com-
mercial men will continue to go without
as Qu. 37 meant they should. Imagine
paying nearly 4c. first hand and then
trying to sell at a profit to the retailer
who needs 100 to 150 per cent. Is the
public likely to buy Anemone flowers?
Seems to me the wise florist grower will
just raise his own bulbs and let the Cali-
fornia stock stay where it is. As for
those who retail bulbs, I can't see them
making many sales. Might mention here
that I have a few tuberous Begonias in
my garden. California bulbs, I under-
stand, and they certainly have as big
flowers as any imported and why shouldn't
they. Raised from seed probably im-
ported, they ought to be. as good as the
rest. If I had the facilities I guess I
could raise good Begonia tubers in north-
ern New Jersey. Perhaps I will one of
these days; there must be a lot of money
in these bulbs at present prices, that is if
the grower gets his share.

Lime Prices

A New Jersey bulletin says: "Although
lime has not yet come down in price to
the level fertilizers and other materials,
it is cheaper than it was a year or two
ago. Phew! Does this really mean that
lime is as costly as fertilizers, or does
it mean proportionately? Considering
what lime is and what it used to cost,
it seems to me that lime manipulators
have made a better thing out of it than
the milk barons. It's very nice to have
lime delivered in bags with all sorts of
figures and percentages . printed on the
outside instead of having to go to the
builder and buy lumps which had to be
slaked, but ye gods! is it worth the price?
Moreover, is some of this hydrated, dessi-
cated manipulated, stuff really all lime?
I've seen warnings about magnesium lime
and insoluble lime, and seems to me these
grinders can dish up anything. Who's
to say no, because lime is not a fertilizer
and, after all, what do analyses count for

if the bulk is not soluble. I can't help
thinking that this anemic looking pow-
der has precious little pep in it, certainly
not like that old lump which just went
raving mad when dropped into a bucket
of water.

Bribery and Commissions

It is somewhat of a coincidence that
the trade both here and in Great Britain is
discussing this subject and seeking a way
out. Across the water some bitter allega-
tions have been made by the president of
the R. H. S., who is also chairman of the
government committee on bribery. All sorts
of proposals have been put forward to bring
an end to the custom which, according to
some, is now as bad or worse than it was
before the Secret Bribery and Corruption
Act became law some ten years ago. Some
nurserymen declare it is impossible to hold
private trade without giving the gardeners a
percentage ranging as high as 15 per cent.

The act, which renders all who give com-
missions, liable to heavy penalties is more or
less imperative, as it is well nigh impossible
to obtain the needed information. It is
said, too, that some employers expect that
a commission be paid their gardeners, ap-
parently oblivious of the fact that such com-
missions cannot be given by any firm operat-
ing on a low margin of profit.

Under the circumstances I guess the
A. A. N. has some job on hand.

A Thornless Rose Stock

Reference was recently made to a new
hybrid Rugosa X Canina stock for bud-
ding on standards. This may prove of
great value here, for while Canina becomes
too hidebound in the East, and Rugosa is
too thin, the latter makes a good head
nevertheless — the new Dutch stock has
the merits of both, hardiness and stiff-
ness.

I note, however, that an English grower
is credited with having a thornless Ca-
nina stock which, for those who have to
work it low down, will prove a boon.
Maybe those Californian budders dislike
the thorns, which induces them to bud
high as the Seattle Correspondent com-
plains of. I'm pleased to say my Roses
(California grown) are not budded high,
nor have I seen sign of a sucker. Varie-
ties such as Willowmere, A. R. Goodwin,
Mrs. A. Waddell and one or two others
evidently don't make strong plants on
the stocks used in California and if you
ask me, the coloring is away off. Still,
I will say that Los Angeles, Constance,
Souv. de C. Pernet, W. C. Egan, Wm. F.
Dreer, and others have done finely. Con-
stance is a free bloomer and a fairly good
grower.

Stamford (Conn.) Hort. Society

The regular monthly meeting of this so-
ciety was held Monday, Aug. 7. The fol-
lowing events were decided upon at this
meeting: Annual outing to be held Aug.
17 in Hallowe'en Park at 1 p.m.; carni-
val beginning week of Aug 21: Dahlia
Show, Sept. 2, in society's building; Fall
show, early in November, date to be decid-
ed later.

The following awards were made at the
meeting: Seedling Dahlia, Miss Myra Val-
entine, by A. V. Carver, certificate of
merit. Three vases of Zinnia by W. Os-
terby, 75 points; vase of Gladiolus Her-
ada by A. Whitelaw, 70 points; vase of
Gladiolus Peace, by A. H. Brown, 65
points; collection of perennials by Mrs.
T. Harvey, 60 points; collection of seed-

Ridgewood, N. J. — Miss Agnes Bark-
ham, the successor of Wm. F. Barkham,
is in England, spending a few months with
her parents. She sailed on July 4, and
is expected home some time next month.
Her brother Sidney is managing the Ridge-
wood business in her absence.

Saddle Rivee, N. J. — On Friday of last
week, a few scattering hailstones visited
Saddle River, the home of hail insurance.
Just a providential reminder that the
clerk of the weather was still on the job.

Spring Valley, N. Y. — The coal situa-
tion is giving A. S. Burns, Jr., the big
Rose grower, some anxious moments.
Barring this, the outlook for a fine crop
of Roses this Winter is excellent.

The Market

Overproduction? Yes. And just
how are you going to prevent it? That's
what's making the -wholesale folks look
so sad about this old town. There is
quite a bit of good business, but with
fresh arrivals coming every minute, how
are you going to get rid of it all and
with" prices standing at "Just what will
you give?" The market is still flooded
with Gladioli, while Asters are flowing
in by the tens of thousand and Hydrangea
paniculata by the truckload in fact, all
outside flowers mostly go abegging. Roses
are shortening up some. A few good
Carnations are still with us. Lilies are
more plentiful than last week. There is
some very good out of town Valley, but the
call is light. Orchids are equal to all
demands. Dahlias are showing in some
of the wholesale houses, but most of the
large growers will not begin shipping for
a week or so. The arrivals of Asparagus
sprays from the South are unlimited and
the market is generally sluggish on green
goods.

News Notes

R. Vincent, Jr., is the only one,
as far as we can learn who will attend
the S A. F. and 0. H. Convention from
Baltimore. Mr. Vincent will go to New
York on Saturday and join his many
friends, going with the New York ilo-
rists Club delegation.

Mr. and Mrs. Wm. J. Johnston have
been spending the Summer in upper New
York State and will not return until the
latter part of August.

While your correspondent is not much
given to patting the other fellow on the
back or making] a practice of getting into
type, with "Say it with Flowers refer-
ences to the many, many friends of Ihe
Florists Exchange about town, he can-
not refrain from expressing deep appre-
ciation of the courtesy shown him, while
going the rounds for the Baltimore greet-
ing page in the Convention Number, and
the only regret is that some of the re-
turn postals arrived too late for the
names to find a place on the page of
greetings.

John P. Willheim is always the busy
man and from the looks of the green-
houses, he has not been idle the past two
months. The new addition to one of his
houses is finished and planted, and the
Carnations are all under cover. Chrys-
anthemums are growing strong. You
ought to see the Cyclamen — big batch of
strong, heavy, clean plants in all sized
pots and pans. Mr. Willheim is building
two new dwellings facing on his Franklin
ave. property, adjoining the greenhouses,
to meet the real estate demand in this
coming residential section.

John J. Perry is making plans for a
sea trip to Boston with his family, sail-
ing the latter part of this month.

Harry Glick of the well known whole-
sale house of Sieck & Glick is off to At-
lantic City with Mrs. Glick for a week
or two.

The S. S. Pennoek Co. has added a
handsome new Dodge truck to its fleet of
delivery cars.

James Sargen has a fine field of Carna-
tion plants almost ready for housing.

In the Lily ponds, out at the Maryland
Casualty Co.'s big reservation, the plant-
ings of aquatics are showing vast growth
and flowers of great beauty are attracting
attention from the many visitors. Of the
tender varieties, probably Victoria Trick-
eri is the one that excites the most curi-
osity with its monstrous saucer shaped
leaves or pads, that will carry the weight
of a two year old child afloat upon the
water. The buds open at night, and are
almost pure white, changing to a delicate
pink the next evening. This variety can
be depended upon to flower the first sea-
son and has been producing many fine
blooms during July. Reminiscing along
some ancients horticultural events hap-
pening more than seventy years ago we
recall hearing the story of the first ex-
hibition of Victoria regia in Baltimore
by Samuel Feast, founder of the present
house of Samuel Feast and Sons, who suc-
cessfully brought the plant to this city
and built a large tank in the greenhouse
attached to his store at Charles and Sara-
toga sts. to accommodate this then famous
new water plant. Chas. M. Wagner, who
is superintendent of grounds and horti-
cultural expert for the company, has quite
a collection of other greenhouse varie-
ties that he is summering out in the

ponds, including the beautiful Nym-
pha?a Zanzibariensis, a deep purple, often
measuring Sin. in diameter, and Frank
Trelease, another tender variety of rosy
red color. Of the hardy ones, N. Tuberosa
rubra and Marliacea albida, carnea, and
rosea, are making a goodly showing of
flowers. If you are interested in aquatic
plants, Mr. Wagner will be happy to show
you his vast collection.

Remember the Florists Club meeting
Aug. 14 and don't fail to be present.

A continuous crop of Giganteum Lilies
for his retail stores is the aim of Rob-
ert L. Graham, and the cold storage bulbs
have never produced better flowers.

Auburn, N. Y.

Owing to vacations and abundance of
outdoor flowers, business is confined to
funerals and occasional weddings. Glad-
ioli - are almost too abundant. A good
grade of Aster affords a welcome relief
from an ever diminishing Carnation.
Phlox, Gypsophila and other perennials
are plentiful, but Sweet Peas have disap-
peared— victims of the weather.

Growers report their Carnations are
all benched; many are extra fine.

The work of cleaning up, setting glass,
painting and otherwise getting ready for
Fall is well under way in spite of _ super-
fluous rains. W. B.

Violet Growers Meet

The adjourned meeting of the Vio-
let Growers Mutual Association was held
Saturday, Aug. 5. While the attendance
was somewhat greater than the previ-
ous meeting, there was not enough to
make a quorum and so plans were dis-
cussed for holding another meeting Aug.
19, at which, time the by-laws will be
amended along several lines. The associa-
tion now has but nineteen members, where-
as it was composed of nearly 119 15
years ago. Those in charge of the or-
ganization now are making a vigorous at-
tempt to offer all the growers some in-
ducement to join and it is hoped that the
coming year will put the association on
its feet again. V. B.

Hudson, N. Y.

We are still on the map, although per-
haps somewhat quiet of late.

The Forest Flower Shop has been at-
tracting a lot of attention by staging a
Lemon tree in its window. This tree has
carried 74 fruits on it for months at a
time, but on this occasion it has but
few fruit and a quantity of bloom. Of
the giant type, this tree carries fruit up
to three pounds apiece.

The Hudson, N. Y., Register recently
made reference to this Lemon tree and
also bestowed high praise on the Forest
Flower Shop and greenhouses which, it
declares, is not only the most important
concern, both for retail and wholesale in
that section, but it compares favorably
with any concern in the larger cities.

Buffalo, N. Y.

Trade Notes

The quiet season has been with us for
some time. Funeral pieces are about the only
work at present.

Roses are fair, Gladioli, Lilies auratum
and garden flowers are fine and plentiful,
permitting stores to be attractively decorated.
Wholesale house business is quiet during
Summer months.

Palmer's stores are fine looking with dis-
plays of orchids and Japanese Lilies, grown
at the Lancaster greenhouses.

Anderson's have some fine showings of
Gladioli — really wonderful windows.

Club Picnic

All the shops closed the afternoon of July
26. A great many Buffalo florists and
friends forgot business to enjoy the picnic
held at the Automobile Club. It proved a
great success. Many outdoor games, danc-
ing, and a very fine dinner were enjoyed. The
winners were happy, returning home with
the fine prizes. The winners of the events
were:

Baseball Game — 8-5 in favor of retailers.

concerts this coming season.

Joseph Rebstock's new flower shop on
Elmwood ave. looks very beautiful these
days. R. B.

ping as they do not bring the cost of the
packing and express, there is something
radically wrong, aside from the production
point of view.

On the other hand, it is true that many
growers go blindly ahead with production
without making provision or allowance for
the selling end. There should be the closest
kind of cooperation between grower and com-
mission men and a heart-to-heart talk sev-
eral times during the year. Another of my
wild ideas would be to have a regular "shop"
meeting of growers consigning to a certain
commission house to discuss thoroughly the
business and prospects for the coming season.

Hailstorms Again

The men in York had a regular wes-
tern hailstorm ; one that not only broke all
the glass in their houses but broke growing
stock all to pieces and even broke the pots
in which it was growing.

Lancaster had a lighter visitation and at
the establishment of Robert C. Smallwood
some fifty panes were broken. Have not
heard of any other losses of glass, but stock
was badly damaged outdoors and acres and
acres of Tobacco will be plowed under as
absolutely worthless. Tobacco is one of the
things that makes Lancaster County so
wealthy.

Chester County Notes

Elmer Weaver, A. K. Rohrer, Lemon
Landis and myself crossed the line and made
the first stop at Percey Bernards, where we
found one big house of Carnations nicely
started; another house of Tomatoes in full
crop and another house in contemplation
which is probably started by this time. The
orchards here were a great attraction and
Mrs. Bernard proved such an attentive
hostess that we had time for only one other
visit and that was at Wm. Swyanes m Ken-
net Square. Here we found almost the whole
place planted to Chrysanthemums with just
enough other stock to take care of a good
local trade. Mr. Swayne like myself has
seen quite a few changes in the business and
between these and our fishing experiences, a
pleasant hour was spent here.

Getting back to Weavers, the Gladioli
farm of Chas. M. was inspected and the new
and old varieties admired and discussed.
At Elmer's the Roses are all starting off
nicely and there is every prospect of a big
crop of high-class stock for next Wmter s
cut. Some people might say, looking at
this place, beginner's luck, but as Elmer
has studied the Rose proposition from every
angle, I would say it is careful preparation
before making the change from Carnation
to Roses. The younger Weavers, Paul and
Lloyd, are keeping up the Carnation end
with one house of nicely started stock.

At Girrin's

The writer is putting up some King
houses and with the builder made a trip to
W. B. Girvins of Leola to get a few pointers
on construction and found his Roses just
about as good as at the Weaver establish-
ment with enough producing to care for their
shipping trade. Everything here is on a
big scale and the big Carnation house is
planted up ready for action; the houses of
ferns are a picture of vigor and the Cali-
fornia Adiantum is especially fine. John
Shoenberger the manager is on the constant
lookout for increased sales, and everything
for which there is a real demand can be
found here in season, from pot Geraniums to
Tobacco plants from the seed beds, and
almost every variety of cut flower that a
store man would call for.

Dull Time Thoughts

Aug. 5. — With nothing new to report
and nothing new to expect, there is only one
thing to do during this Summer dullness, and
that is to put on a thinking cap and devise
ways and means to increase the volume of
sales.

Not being a retailer myself I may be look-
ing at things from a wrong point of view.
But in conversation with people who buy
flowers occasionally, when there is nothing
else to take their place, I am told that if
they could go into a flower shop and see the
prices without the services of a clerk, and
that if window displays were priced, they
would shop in a flower store the same as
they do in any other, but that they hesi-
tate to go into a flower store to look around,
and the consequence is that a major propor-
tion of their purchases are made on the mar-
kets, where there is no embarrassment in
asking prices and walking on to the next
stand.

Overproduction is the cry from every
point; to my way of thinking it is not so
much overproduction as underselling, when
one thousand fairly good Roses sell for S2.50
and Gladioli growers are asked to stop ship-

New Lavenders

Even the homely, sweet scented Eng-
lish Lavender is receiving attention at the
hands of the plant breeder. At a recent
R H S. meeting, a lady gained two
awards of merit for Lavenders— Lady
Violet and Prudence, the latter a deep
blue and very fragrant. Several others,
because of their interesting features re-
ceived a certificate of appreciation from
the Scientific Committee.

Putting It Across

A recent issue of the Advertisers'
Weekly featured some of the posters
which the British Produce Marketing As-
sociation, Ltd., is putting out m the news-
papers and on the various railways, inese
artistic posters furnish all sorts of recipes,
apart from the special issue of 170,uuu
recipe books and circulars. Even tae
movies are aiding in boosting Tomatoes.
The activity going on in England is ^ we
assume, due to one factor, the flo.uuu
needed was put up by the growers before a
move was made. The campaign, therefore,
continues unchecked.

The Florists' Exchange

417

Scranton, Pa.

John W. Beagle has his greenhouses
crowded with ferns; the stock looks prom-
ising, and as usual Mr. Beagle finds a
ready call for them.

Our new florist, Chas. O'Boyle, likes
the business and, as with the rest of us,
his slogan from now on is "Say it with
Flowers."

A. F. Conwell of Oram st. is busy fin-
ishing his greenhouse, and already plan-
ning to erect a new one.

Sehultheis of Linden st. reports a busy
week in wedding and funeral work. The
Misses Dorothy and Gertrude Sehultheis
are enjoying their vacation.

John Hill of Waverly brings a load of
Asters, Sweet Peas and Gladioli in every
day and, as customary, sells out clean.

Anna Griffiths of South Main ave. re-
ports a busy week on funeral work.

This week has been a repetition of last,
nearly all stores reporting good business.
Funeral work has been heavy, something
unusual for Summer time. Gladioli, As-
ters and Sweet Peas continue plentiful.
Carnations are a thing of the past. Roses
are short in supply, Columbia and Rus-
sell proving the best Summer varieties.
Lilies are in moderate supply and clean
up nicely.

Many of our retailers are planning to
paint and clean up in preparation for
Fall business.

Club News

We have stepped on the gas for
Falls, Pa., and will report duly the out-
ing. F. J. M.

Providence, R. I.

Stock is arriving in large quantities
and the surplus is not easily moved.
Among the more plentiful flowers are
Gladioli, Asters and Dahlias. Roses are
in fair demand, and the supply is some-
what limited. Easter Lilies, Gardenias
and Lily of the Valley are somewhat
scarce, also.

0. H. Williams and Mrs. Williams cele-
brated their 35th wedding anniversary on
July 28. A great many relatives and
friends offered their congratulations, and
not a few enjoyed the family clambake
which was held at 1 o'clock on the lawn.

Archie C. Akin, secretary and treasurer
of the Colonial Flower Shoppe, Inc., left
on Aug. 9 for a month's trip to the Pa-
cific Coast, first going to New York City,
thence from there with friends to the S.
A. F. Convention in Kansas City. From
there he goes to the Summer home of C.
E. Falls in Denver, Colo., then to San
Francisco and Los Angeles. He is ex-
pected to return about Sept. 15. Mr.
Stanley of this shop has returned from
his vacation spent in the White Moun-
tains.

Joseph E. Keppelman had a slight ac-
cident last week, when an automobile hit
him and slightly bruised him.

Saunders Gardens, Dr. Latham, prop.,
of Scituate, is cutting thousands of very
fine quality Gladioli, for which he finds
a very fair market. P. F. P.

Someone asked me recently what con-
stitutes "news" for this and similar col-
umns in The Exchange. Well, to illus-
trate: If Tony drops a lOin. Kentia on
the floor and smashes the pot that is
not news for it's too common an occur-
rence. But if Tony drops that same lOin.
Kentia on the boss' big toe and breaks it
— I mean the toe — that is news and sor-
rowful news at that — at least for Tony.

Newport, R. I.

Trade Notes

Aug. 1. — The arrival of the yachts
in the harbor today, for the annual races
of the N. Y. Y. C, will make this week
one of the busiest of the season for the
florists. Business last week was quite
good. Some of the stores are attempting
to close up promptly at noon on Sundays;
this the employees seem to appreciate.

News Items

Miss Grace Cameron McLeish, eldest
daughter of Mrs. James C. McLeish, Rose-
neath ave., died at the Newport Hospital,
on the 27th ultimo., after a short illness.
She was a universal favorite and will be
much missed. Besides conducting a jewel-
ry store on Thames st., she was a great
help to her aged mother in packing and
shipping the large quantities of hothouse'
Grapes, Peaches and Nectarines of first
quality, which are still produced. Many
of them are disposed of in the local
market.

The extraordinarily large number of
flowers sent in for the funeral, which
took place on Saturday, from the home,
gave ample evidence that the custom of
sending flowers is not on the wane in this
city.

Never during our long residence here
do we remember seeing the trees and
shrubs in a healthier condition than they
are this year; there appears to be an
entire absence of insect pests.

The man in charge of the city sprayer,
finding the larva? of a gipsy moth, when
at work, promptly took it to the office of
the Street Commission, at the City Hall,
as a curio.

Illuminating gas appears to be the
cause of the death of three handsome
Elms, almost 100 years old, on one of the
streets in the center of the city.

School Gardens

The committee, consisting of the
writer, F. Carter and Wm. McKay, ap-
pointed by the Newport Horticultural
Society to judge the school gardens, made
its awards on July 31. The prize banner
was awarded to the Lenthal School, pre-
sided over by Miss Luss. Cranston School
took second place, with Coddington School
third.

A large number of pupils took part in
the competitions; the Lenthal School has
28 vegetable and four flower plots; Crans-
ton, 24 vegetable and six flower plots, and
Coddington 35 vegetable and ten flower
plots. A. McL.

Pawtucket, R. I.

Herbert A. Leach and wife are touring
through the most interesting part (floral-
ly, historically and geographically) of
Canada, and we expect him to give every-
thing out that way the twice-over and
tell us all about it when he returns Aug.
15. "Herb," as he is sometimes called, is
the same old "Hub" (as he used to be
familiarally called) of M. J. Leach &
Sons Corp., with extensive plant at See-
konk, Mass., and store at 20 Broad St.,
this city. By the way, why did we call
him "Hub?" Was it because he entered
the floral ring hereabouts? Or was it be-
cause everybody spoke well of him. Well,
no matter why it was, we all hope that
they are having a grand old time.

All the stores here close Wednesday
afternoons for recreation purposes. The
group at the store thought they, like you,
would have a little sample of freedom.
So with a few of their friends off they
go Huckleberrying in the wilds of See-
konk. Talk about picking! It was only
settled this p.m. as to who picked the
most and at last it had to be settled by
way of the dice box at that. The finish
was between Sam and McCarthy and Sam
won by two — picking two more than Mc-
Carthy. I don't know whether it was two
quarts or two berries. Anyway it was
two. Next Wednesday is set for the next
picking bee and John says he will show
them how and where.

Bangor, Me.

Just at this time of the year the flo-
rists are busy getting ready for their
Fall and Winter business. People around
here grow a good many flowers during
the Summer which cuts into the florists'
sales a good deal.

Recent deaths of prominent citizens
have brought considerable work for the
florists.

A noted increase in business is being
manifested in the number of orders given
for greenhouses to be erected during the
coming months. The building of green-
houses is not wholly confined to the flo-
rists, however, as a progressive market
gardener, Peter J. O'Loughlin, is reported
as having ordered his third house for
growing of Cucumbers and Lettuce dur-
ing the Winter and Spring months. He
will have one Lord & Burnham and two
Hitehings & Co. houses.

G. S. Seavey & Son will erect their
second Hitehings house within the next
few1 ^veeks, rthe material having been
shipped. They are in much need of this
added equipment to take care of their in-
creasing trade. Their business is confined
almost wholly to pot plants and nursery
stock, wholesale and retail.

L. P. Barbour, a young Bangor man, has
decided to go into the florists business to
seek his fortune. He has finally chosen
his location at Belfast, Maine, located on
the Penobscot River, and in the heart of

the Summer colonies. He feels that he
has a fine opening there and intends to
begin work at once on the two acres of
land he has purchased. A younger brother
has gone into business with him. It is
understood that Mr. Barbour is to build
an iron frame Hitehings house this Fall.
He ia planning on growing potted stock
and perennials at first. There ia plenty
of room in Maine for florists who are out
for business, willing to work and give the
public good quality and service. It is
mighty good news to hear that Mr. Bar-
bour is going into the game, he being a
young man, under 30 years of age, and
starting from the bottom with a deter-
mination to make a success of his ven-
ture.

We also hear that Hutchinson, Florist
at Caribou, Maine, is to have a greenhouse
erected this Fall. He is also a young
man greatly interested in the florists
business and starting in a small way.
We understand that his wife carried on
the florists work, he assisting all he
could, and working as an employee for a
firm until he saw his way clear to go
into the florists business definitely.

H. E. S.

Salem, Mass.

The season in this vicinity has been a
very wet one. We have had lots of rain,
quite a number of thunder storms and
cloudy days. What fair weather we have
had, for the most part, has been really
hot.

The early varieties of Gladioli are
coming in very plentiful just now; there
are hardly any whites yet. Asters have
not more than just started to come into
bloom. Sweet Peas are to be had, but
are far from good. The Strawberry
crop was spoiled by the rains in this
section this past season.

Business in general has been very quiet
in this section the past month; the num-
ber of funerals has been smaller than
usual. Frank E. Smith.

Annual Report

The complete report for 1921 is now
available. It contains considerable infor-
mation regarding the shows held and the
awards made in 1921 and full reports
from the secretary and treasurer as well
as the names of the officers and commit-
tees for 1922. The society has a capital
and reserve fund totalling over three
quarters of a million dollars and a life
membership of 772, with a total member-
ship of 1000.

Eber Holmes and Fritz Bahr

I feel constrained to let you know how
delighted I was to see a contribution on
Rose growing by Eber Holmes in a recent
Exchange. I used to enjoy his articles
years ago and I am hoping that he will
continue to be a contributor. I regard
him as a good man to follow. [Eber
Holmes' "Commercial Rose Growing" cov-
ers the entire field for those who want
to be posted from the beginning right up
to date. — Ed.]

Also, expressing myself further, would
say that I regard Fritz Bahr and his
weekly writings as most valuable. I look
for them each week. Besides, I have
every page of "The Week's Work" filed in
order so that I can refer to them any
time — and they are so helpful.

Perhaps you appreciate hearing from
your readers, especially when they think
well of The Exchange. So here is my
humble opinion on these two items.— H. A.
S., N. J.

[Scores of florists throughout the coun-
try have carefully filed all of Fritz Bahr's
writings. Just this last week a caller
told us he had every article filed that
Fritz Bahr has written for this paper.
He called to see if he could buy the back
numbers of the paper for a son in another
city, and was delighted when told that we
were printing a book by Fritz Bahr, in
which he covered the entire range of
"Commercial Floriculture," and which we
expect to have ready for distribution this
Fall.— Ed.]

m\ RETAIL DEPARTMENT

MAX SCHLING'S SCHOOL FOR FLORISTS

SOME QUESTIONS ANSWERED

It is common knowledge that Max Selling's School of Floristy, which closed July 21, was a gigantic success. Close upon 150 pupils studied the
subjects he put before them during the week, irrespective of others who were present to make the crowd still larger. As might be expected many ques-
tions were put to Mr. Schling; some that could be answered offhand without interfering with the work planned were dealt with right away. Since the
school closed and the pupils have returned home, other questions have poured in upon Mr. Schling who, feeling assured that they are of general interest to
retail florists up and down the country, has selected about thirty, together with answers thereto, and has passed them along to the Exchange. It gives
us much pleasure to feature these questions and answers — practical problems in the everyday life of the country-wide florist and retail grower — on this page
We need hardly assure our readers that any problem of similar nature they may submit to Max Schling will be considered and answered through these columns

Ques. — Is it possible for a high-class shop to start
advertising propaganda to increase funeral work?

Ans. — Yes. There is nothing in our profession that
we cannot advertise. The answer to this question re-
quires more thought and more space than we can
allow here. A separate letter will be sent, but for
those who are interested, I will demonstrate this
advertising funeral work at different exhibitions in
New York City the coming Winter. I would have
done so at the National Exhibition in Indian-
apolis, but it would have meant interfering
with the local P. T. D. florists. As an P. T. D.
member I have no right to exhibit in any city
but my own.

Ques. — How can the lasting quality of Dahl-
ias be prolonged?

Ans. — After cutting the Dahlias, dip about
l%in. of the stem for two minutes in boiling
water, the same as is done with Poinsettias;
they will last from five to six days.

Ques. — How can we prepare our plant bas-
kets, jardinieres or boxes for the holidays in
advance, before the rush starts, and still keep
the plants in good growth?

Ans. — Use for your jardinieres, wooden ves-
sels that will fit inside. Select for baskets,
boxes as inside liners. In these wooden in-
serts plants can be planted four, five and six
weeks before the holidays, left in the green-
house and shipped to the store when needed
on short notice. Slipped into their outside
covering, they are ready for sale. Plants in
wooden vessels grow as well as in pots when
rough, porous wood is used.

Ques. — Nigella in open ground quickly goes
to seeds. How can I grow it to have a con-
stant supply for the Summer months?

Ans. — Make several sowings ten days to two
weeks apart, in smaller quantities instead of
sowing it all at once.

Ques. — Is it practical for florists to work and
serve customers from behind a counter?

Ans. — It is practical to work anywhere for a
1 practical florist and the place has no influence
on the quality of the work but to serve cus-
tomers from behind a counter is different. The
; florist business is a personal business. To have
no counter between the salesman and the cus-
tomer puts the salesman on an entirely differ-
ent footing. He will be more free to speak to
the client ; he will have a better chance to guide
•Ms customer to the article he desires to sell.
Prom behind a counter, a salesman may be
able to sell possibly one or two items, but on
ia free floor where they can walk around, he -
will, most times, sell many more.
' Ques. — Is it profitable to advertise in college
papers?

I Ans. — It is for those who have their business
in a college town, not otherwise. The students
call on florists to ask them for advertisements
because of the purchases of their parents. This,
I consider, an imposition, the student knowing
what the florist does not always know; that
?ach college has a special committee advising
the_ students where to buy their flowers, combining
their purchases with one of the home florists who
offers them the best facilities or some kind of induce-
ment. I have been told that in some colleges, the
poorer students are taking orders from those who
aeed flowers, and placing them for them and, in this
way, securing a small income for themselves.

Ques. — 'Can we take orders for passengers on in-
coming steamers?

Ans.— You can take them but they cannot be filled,
except in rare instances. Incoming steamers are
nore protected and guarded than outgoing. Uncle
>am does not allow anyone on the deck of incom-
ug steamers. Passengers who are traveling by them-
selves without servants do not come in contact with
he public until they leave the custom department in
vhich place no outsider is allowed. The wealthier

»ass leave the steamer immediately and their ser-

vants stay with the baggage to have it inspected. The
only way to deliver orders for homecoming passen-
gers is to secure the address of their first stop. So
far, with the assistance of the steamship officials, we
manage to secure the address of the first stop of
homecoming parties and deliver the flowers to them
at their hotel or in care of their friends.

Ques. — What is the best method to figure out selling
price?

Cross of Perennial Peas, Lathyrus Iatifolius and Gypsophi
paniculata

Ans. — The P. T. D. advocated to take dead mer-
chandise, such as baskets, jardinigres, etc., two to
one, flowers and plants three, to one. When expenses
are high and abnormal one must do that to show a .
fair profit. Where expenses are normal it is best
to add the overhead to the merchandise and double.
For instance, Roses, $1 per dozen ; overhead, 50c.,
selling price, $3. With articles, especially flowers out
of season or rare flowers extremely high at wholesale,
only 50 per cent can be added and sometimes less.
This type of article is looked upon as accommodation
to customers. They are counterbalanced by other ar-
ticles which are sold on a profit basis, out of propor-
tion with the regular profit.

Ques. — A good customer ordered last September a
basket of flowers for his wife's birthday. Unfortu-
nately we delivered it the day after by mistake. The
customer paid for the basket but we lost him. Re-

peated calls and letters did not bring him back to us
How can we get him back?

Ans. — First of all you should not have accepted
payment for the basket. Then you called on the
wrong party when you called on him. You should
have called on his wife and apologized to her. Wait
until next September and send a basket complimen-
tary to her for her birthday and call on her after-
wards. You will get him back.

Ques. — I had an order for a funeral for Pales-
tine and could not deliver it. What shall I do
if I get a similar order?

Ans. — If your customer received a cable about
the death of a friend in Palestine and you had
cabled the order back immediately it would
have arrived too late for delivery because, first
off, it takes two days for a cable from Pales-
tine and a reply. It is the existing law in
Palestine, Turkey, and all through that part of
the world that burials must take place within
thirty hours after a person dies. When you get
such an order again tell the customer that you
will manage to have the flowers placed on the
grave a day or two after the services; there are
private individuals who will be able to take
care of it on cabled instructions. There are
very few florists in Palestine and there is not
a good one in Jerusalem. The best florist in
that quarter is Maider at Haifa, about six
hours by rail from Jerusalem. I am in contact
with him now, that he should arrange to accept
cablegrams from F. T. D. florists. To join the-
P. T. D. would be absolutely impossible for
him, because to pay the yearly dues is more
than he can afford at the present state of af-
fairs. If you get an order let us have it. We
will be glad to do the work and you claim the
discount. We accommodate P. T. D. florists in
a similar way almost every day in the year.

Ques. — Is it necessary to keep on subscribing
to the different trade papers?

Ans. — Of course it is if you can afford it ; you
will find very few flower shops which have-
not at least two or three of the trade papers.
The trouble is, most of them don't read them,
and whatever good the trade papers bring, a
large percentage of it is lost on account of lack
of interest of the subscriber. All trade papers
are educational and they bring you in contact
with the other fellow who is a thousand miles-
away from your own place. Very often they
tell you what happens in your own home town,
and which you don't know because you never
get out of your four walls.

Ques. — Should we accept all the advice in the
different articles the trade papers give?

Ans.- — If you can utilize it, by all means, but
if you do read all and pick out what will be
practical for your own use, you will find that
your horizon will broaden and it will prove
profitable.

Ques. — Why are the florists reading your
articles and accepting your advice?

Ans. — Because when I write something, I

try to put myself into the other fellow's place,

and because I try to tell him what common sense

teaches me is practical, not only for myself but for

the other fellow also.

-Ques. — How do you grow Bouvardia Humboldtii?
Can I grow it from seeds?

Ans. — You might be able to grow them from seeds,.
but I don't know if there are any seeds procurable.
To my knowledge the best way is to procure some
mother stock and begin to make your cuttings early
in January, taking the wood right from the roots.
You can make cuttings continuously until June. The
first cuttings, if planted out in a coldframe early,
will bloom July and August until the middle of Sep-
tember. They give a very rich cut. The later cuttings
you can plant out in the ground, leave outdoors until
the cold weather sets in, and then plant them in a
bench in the greenhouse. They bloom from October

until Christmas. The temperature of a
Carnation house is O. K.

Ques. — What shrubs are best for a re-
tail florist to grow?

Ans. — Witch Hazel. Blooms in March
outdoors, under favorable climatical con-
ditions, in February. They do not re-
quire much care and the greenish yel-
low, odd-looking blossom is a good seller.
Forsythia, Philadelphus, Syringa, Pru-
nus malus, Spiraea Anthony Waterer,
Hydrangea arborescens and Hydrangea
paniculata Viburnum, most varieties,
Golden Privet and California Privet.
The latter two can be used for foliage
practically all year round. Flowering
shrubs are very good to have for all
lands of decorations. Most of them bloom
In May and June and are always a valu-
able acquisition for any florist who has
sufficient room to be able to have a small
quantity of each planted out. A medium
sized flower shop should have at least
25 of each kincl of shrubs, and there
never will be a year that they do not
pay for their space;

Ques. — Will it be profitable to grow
garden flowers profitably where people
have gardens and grow a lot themselves?

Ans. — It is. There are so many va-
rieties of garden flowers, of annuals and
hardy plants that are useful, and the
florist who shows interest and gains a
little knowledge about annuals, will find
that there are only five or six of the
common varieties which predominate in
small gardens. The florist can select
those which are even prettier and not
so common to grow for his work. The
wealthier class in the larger cities who
have large country places, grow more
varieties than small garden owners and

still they come to us florists and buy the
same thing they grow at home to send to
their friends. The florist must appre-
ciate the fact that bis customer is not
only coming to him to buy his flowers,
they want to buy his work with the flow-
ers.

Ques. — How are Gardenias grown suc-
cessfully?

Ans. — There are several methods. We
were successful by planting our Gar-
denias in a bench which we fill in the
following manner. Three inches of cin-
ders, not too rough, lay over the cinders
one-half inch of sand mixed with ashes.
On top of that four inches of soil. In
the beginning we kept them rather moist,
sprayed them very heavily, and the mo-
ment they begin to make roots we spray
light three times daily, keeping the
ground rather dry. We kept them in the
same house with Adiantum Farleyense
and Crotons. The moment the Gardenias
get wet feet and don't get a chance to
dry out, the foliage gets yellow and they
throw off buds.

Ques. — How are cut Gardenias best
kept.

Ans. — When they are cut in the green-
house they are laid out in boxes lined
heavily with newspaper, the newspaper
soaked. The Gardenias are sprayed and
covered airtight with newspaper over-
night. In the morning they are shipped
in the same box to the store. In the
store we have an airtight tin box with a
glass cover ; the box is filled with fancy
ferns. The Gardenias are placed in this
box and sold from there. They are kept
always airtight and moist. Anyone who
receives Gardenias from distant points
should place them in a dish with water
where they can float freely and cover the
vessel airtight. Within two hours they
will stiffen up and regain their fresh-
ness even if they were soft.

Ques. — Should all flowers be sprin-
kled before sent out?

Ans. — A bouquet or a basket piece
should be shown to a customer in the
best condition. Every florist wants to
make it look pretty and it is a habit to
sprinkle it a little, so that the water
stays like dewdrops on the petals of the
flowers. This does not mean that all
flowers should be sprinkled. In fact,
the grower if he cuts flowers, for instance
Chrysanthemums, places them in a cool
cellar or shed. He will find that when
he puts the hose on them that a heavy
sprinkling will not harm them, and that
bhey stiffen up and will be much better
for shippnig the next morning. In a
store, however, when Chrysanthemums
are kept overnight in an icebox and then
sprinkled, they will develop brown spots.
In a store Chrysanthemums should be
sprinkled only below the flowers, that
means the foliage and the stem. Roses
and Dahlias will stand sprinkling, al-
though it is not necessary. Lily of the
Valley and all other bulb stock. Carna-
tions, Asters and flowers of similar tex-
ture, will suffer when sprinkled.

Ques. — Should, paper be used between
flowers when packed in boxes for deliv-
ery to retail customers?

Ans. — If it is a matter of taste. You
can use any method to make your box
pretty when it is opened. Personally,
if I could get a guarantee that flowers
sent out would be delivered within a
short period and immediately unpacked
and put in water, I would use some kind
of tissue or oil paper between the heads
of Roses or other flowers, but knowing
that we never can tell conditions and
that most times our flowers are two
and three hours or longer packed. We
are using fancy fern to line the box, with
nothing between the individual flowers
except it should be an order which goes
a great distance, when we use fancy
fern which should be moist. A Rose
protected from the other Rose near which
it lays, by oil paper, is something I
cannot understand. The petals of one
Rose will never bruise the petals of the
other. In fact, they will bruise less than
with the oil paper between them.

A well packed box should look as
pretty as a bouquet, and when one sends
out a bouquet without the use of layers
of paper between the diffei-ent flowers,
why should we use layers of paper be-
tween the flowers when they are packed
in a box? If the box should be too high
and not filled up with flowers, use a
few fancy ferns and a little Asparagus
to cover the flowers ; put a sheet of oil
paper over and then fill it out with
other packing material that the flowers
should not be disturbed in traveling.

Ques.; — Can Roses be kept in wooden
boxes on ice and sold from them di-
rectly ?

Ans. — In a busy place it often happens
that florists receive Roses by express in
a wooden case and instead of vasing
them up they put the box on ice as it is.
When an order comes in, they take the
Roses right from there. The Roses are
never as firm and do not reach the cus-
tomer in as good condition as those
which have been kept in water. Also, if
the Roses are not sold within a short
period, they change their color quickly ;
pale pink and red Roses especially take
on a bluish tinge. Every florist should aim
to have his stock reach his customers in
the very best possible condition.

Ques. — What substitute, of long last-
ing quality, can we use for Palmetto
leaves? We often have small decora-
tions where we use such and often we
cannot secure them in time because we
are too far away from the commission
house?

Ans. — Every florist should keep in
stock some prepared Palmetto leaves or
Erica foliage. They can be secured from
the regular commission houses.

Ques. — Should orchids be wired for
use in corsages?

Ans. — Is not necessary when orchids
have a stiff stem, but for a good cus-
tomer who sometimes does not treat the
flowers as carefully as we do, an orchid
can be wired or should be wired, provid-
ing it is done right. A spray of Aspara-
gus plumosa or Sprengeri or even a lit-
tle piece of fancy fern laid along the
stem of the orchid and the wire wound
loosely around the stem holding the green
down, will be found practical. That the
wire is not stuck into the flower but
wound around the stem is important. It
will stiffen the orchid, make it more pli-
able to the designer and will protect it
from breakage when worn by the cus-
tomer.

Ques. — Can Pansies be grown all year
round?

Ans. — In greenhouses, Pansies are
good only from about the middle of De-
cember to the -end of March. In April
you can grow Pansies in coldframes
(Fall seedlings) whicli are good for re-
tail work until the end of May. For
June and July you can grow Pansies
outdoors in a place where they don't get
the full afternoon sun. They should be
sown in the greenhouse under glass in
February. After the end of July, August
and September. Viola cornuta will take
their place, and if the plants are kept in
good culture they will keep on blooming
until they freeze.

Ques. — What annuals can we grow of
good quality and sufficient lasting qual-
ity to be used for center pieces in June
weddings and in general?

Ans. — That which is nearest to us we
most times overlook. If instead of wir-
ing the flowers on sticks and making a
centerpiece out of moss, you use some

small inexpensive vessels, pack them

sis, double flowering Petunias, Tagetes

and many other flowers, all of whicb
when cut and wired, will not last an
hour, but which if put in water, will
last for two or three days, are easy to
grow and repay the little care they get.

Ques. — Are dried and painted grasses
and seed pods a profitable addition to
our business?

Ans. — For a short period in some
cities, not profitable in others. The re-
tail florist who has his own greenhouses
and can grow a quantity of stock, Should
handle but little of this dried, and dyed
or painted stock and only show it when
a customer asks for it. It should be
his aim to sell bis own production first.
A florist who has to buy all his goods
should feature this stock for a short
period of the year when fresh flowers
are, to a certain extent, scarce and too
expensive that some people would not
buy, for instance, long stemmed flowers,
whereas they would buy a few of these
grasses. But the moment flowers are
plentiful this dried and painted stock
should be put aside and hidden. It was
more or less a fad and sold for a short
period, but a discriminating public very
quickly could see that it is only camou-
flage of flowers, that it isn't the real
goods. You can't bluff Americans ; they
want the real article for their homes.
They mignt use the camouflage for win-
dow decorations or inside of their stores
or business places. We kept a small
stock only for a couple of months the
first year, but not since.

Ques. — What flowers could we grow
and dry ourselves without dyeing them?

Ans. — The most profitable to grow and
dry at home are Helichrysum, Lunaria
(Honesty) and Physalis Franchetti. All
three are easy to grow and when in
bloom cut off and bang up to dry, no
artificial paints necessary to make them
presentable. Their natural coloring
makes them attractive.

Ques. — We had a large store, gave it
up and moved into a three-story build-
ing, which we use completely. I am al-
ways on the job. Our business increased
in proportion to the increased rent. Our
prices are the same as we had last year,
but our profit is only one-half of last
year, giving credit for the cost of mov-
ing and extra advertising, etc.

Ans. — There may be several reasons
for decreased profit. Some of them may
be decrease in the value and in the vol-
ume of service the employees can give
for the same salary against last year
when you had only one floor. Tour plants
and flowers were delivered on the same
floor and were placed and handled only
once or twice and sold. Now your mer-
chandise comes in on different floors, is
handled on the different floors and is
handled several times before it is sold
to the customer. Flowers, baskets, etc.,
are handled once or twice before going
from the sales room to the designing,
room and from there again to the ship-
ping department. A salesman serves a
customer and has not the basket he
wants ; he has to go up one or two
flights to get what he wants to show the
customer. Meantime he could have made
another sale. These different depart-
ments on different floors are all right
in a very large business, but in a medium
sized retail business it does not pay. I
would look for the deficiency there.
(Questions not of public interest were
answered privately.)

Ques. — We have a lot, 75ft.xl50ft. at
the back of our store. What should we
grow to profit best from it? The ground
is good and to date it has been used by
a neighbor who paid taxes amounting to
$49 on it. He claims it doesn't pay.

Ans. — Incidentally, I know the place
you are writing about. There is a Privet
hedge in front which I would cut down,
then the public can look in. Grow in
it some annuals, hardy plants and
shrubs, as suggested in other answers.
If you wish I will work out a plan and
mail it to you directly. Before you do
anything else, send your neighbor a let-
ter of appreciation and be glad that the
$49 was too much of an expense to him.
Pay the taxes yourself and you will find
that they are a profitable investment for
you.

Overdoing a Good Thing

We have no quarrel with the progress of
modern efficiency. We must confess, how-
ever, that the frequency of the subject
has tired us a little. On the other hand,
we enjoyed to the fullest the note of a
famous Kolumn Konductor, in which he
expressed surprise that efficiency experts
did not go in business for themselves and
"wipe the floor" with their competitors.

As most of us know, there are few
blessings, if overdone, that will not create
evils, and modern "efficiency is no excep-
tion. We have just heard that one of the
trade, whom the bug of efficiency has bit-
ten deeply, has matters so arranged that
every operation in his business is defined
down to the minutest detail whereby the
exact cost, without the slightest form of
guesswork, is clearly established. Although
a splendid principle, undoubtedly, the
method seems to have gone so far as to

distance of all the leading hotels

completely eliminate individuality on the
part of employees. Taking one piece of
work as an example, funeral sprays exe-
cuted by this concern, we understand, are
made up in one manner with a machine
like precision. One almost feels sorry for
the flowers, offering as they do, in all
their natural beauty, wondrous posibili-
ties in the way of arrangement, limited
only to the ability of the artist designer.
Just to visualize the delivery recently
at one funeral of 12 sprays, made up as
like as two "Peas in a pod," tempts one
to wish that efficiency, in spite of its
many advantages, be cast to the four
winds from the top of, Bay, the Woolworth
Building.

R. H. S. and Kindred Societies Clash

What appears to be a serious rift be-
tween various national societies and the
R. H. S. of England, has come about
through the sudden decision of the R. H. S.
to charge a rental of over $100 a day,
plus free admission for its members, for
the use of the R. H. S. hall. Hitherto,
kindred societies could have the use of
the hall the day following an ordinary
R. H. S. meeting for a nominal fee of
about $25 to pay labor and light, provid-
ing R. H. S. members were admitted free.
This arrangement has always worked well,
although it naturally did not enable the
kindred societies to make much in the way
of gate money.

The R. H. S., despite the fact that it
is piling up additional thousands of dollars
to its reserve fund annually, claims it is
losing money through allowing the kindred
societies to hold their shows in the hall.

These societies naturally feel somewhat
hurt, more so because the R. H. S. Hall
was built by public subscription for the
encouragement of horticulture, and as a
result the National Rose Society, itself
boasting a membership of 8000 or more
members, has announced its intention to
hold its Spring and Fall shows elsewhere.
The other societies will doubtless follow
suit. ;

In a retail store in New York City re-
cently, flowers and flower pots acted in a
drama, the players being a florist and his
wife and two detectives whom the
wife mistook for hold-up men. The lady
pelted the detectives with Lilies, orchids
and other expensive flowers. These ef-
forts failing to end the fray she called
to her assistance a big bull terrier, who
took hold of one of the detectives by the
trousers and prepared to spend the even-
ing with him. Finally, it was revealed
that the detectives were Simon pure and
on the job and the florist, the man they
had come to arrest for bookmaking, was
hauled away to the station house.

Sweet Peas that Don't Mind Hot
Weather

Every year one seems to see less and
less Summer blooming Sweet Peas grown
out of doors. And of the few that are
grown, there is surely but a small per-
centage that reaches the florist's shop.
And yet the Sweet Pea is a flower whose
place* it is hard to fill ; one that would
always be welcome for its gracefulness
in the Summer time when large coarse
flowers like Asters and Gladioli fill the
market.

As a substitute, florists who have a lit-
tle ground lying idle will find a profit-
able investment in a few plants of Lathy-
rus latifolius or Perennial Pea. The il-
lustration on page 419 shows a 30m.
cross made entirely of this flower with
Gypsophila or Baby's Breath as a filler.
It is certainly of interest to note that
all the flowers in this cross were picked
from five plants of Lathyrus just 15
months old.

It must be admitted, of course, that
the color of this flower, which is a pe-
culiar shade of pink, cannot be combined
with other flowers, but in a solid mass
it is most decidedly effective. One can-
not really afford to be without a few
plants of this Lathryus, for they start
blooming just at a time when there is a
dearth of flowers (July 1) and continue
well on through the Summer. As the
number of buds on a stem is so large,
they can be left if no need for them is
found when the first open. With a little
care the vines will soon cover a lattice
or arbor, but the plant seems to be per-
fectly at home when rambling over the
ground. Seeds may be sown now for next
year's flowers. Vincent Beekman.

A Study in Green Tints

At the recent Southampton, N. Y., Hor-
ticultural Society's Show, a special class
called for a display of green shades. Miss
E. Newbold won first with a collection em-
bracing Grapes, both yellow-green and
green. Squash, Tomatoes, Milk Weed
pods, Arborvita:, etc.; another exhibit fea-
tures the blue-grass Globe Thistle, Pine
branches, Iris foliage and Thalictrum
flavum.

The Market

Local conditions have been very
erratic the past week. Busy one day and
idle the next, with next twice as many
idle as busy. The fact of the matter is
that, outside of funeral work and a small
number of hospital bouquets, there was
nothing doing. Even the retailers are
afraid to carry a heavy stock. The con-
tinuous rains have created an overabund-
ance of outside stock, and everyone that
has anything planted is getting fine re-
sults. The month of July showed a cooler
temperature and more rainfall than in
many years past. Gladioli are by far
the most abundant and wonderful stock
can be had in most any variety. The
main question is: "What will you pay
for Gladioli, and how many can you use?"
Imagine fine, big Gladioli at 2c. 3c. and
4c. for the best. Many of the new grow-
ers are never going to get their money
out this year. Some of the growers are
not attempting to even cut them any
more, since there is no sale. Roses are
overplentiful at prices from 2c. and 3c.
for the short to 12c. and 15c. for the best.
Russell and Columbia are the heaviest now
with some white Killarney and Ophelia
coming in. Asters in every color- and size
are coming in at 2c, 3c- and 4c each.
Retailers are very slow in loading up on
any stock. Some of the finest Easter
Lilies of the season are on the market,
but not moving; Zinnias of enormous size
and color galore are plentiful at 2e.
Among the novelties are Buddleia, Statice
and fancy Caladiums.

News Notes

J. Bath arrived home Sunday after
a most pleasant trip in the Rocky Moun-
tains.

The Sunday closing of all the retail
stores seems to be working out O. K. and
proving satisfactory to the public also.

Several Omaha florists are planning on
attending the K. of C. Convention.

Uncle Robert Spereo was calling on the
trade Friday and reviewing the Ann Jar-
vis controversy regarding Mother's Day.

C. M. East of Fremont, Neb., was in
the city Thursday. E. E. Evans.

Parks and Recreation

The July-August issue of the official
magazine of the American Institute of
Park Executives is fully up to standard.
Nearly 100 pages, beautifully printed on
good paper and freely illustrated, deal
with many interesting subjects. Special
attention is given to the convention which
takes place at Minneapolis, Minn., Aug.
21 to 23. Many beautiful pictures of
Minneapolis parks are given. "The Parks
of St. Paul," a portrait of John McLaren,
who has served 40 years as superintendent
of Golden Gate Park, Calif. "Pasadena's
Park System," and "Animals in Public
Parks" are other strong features.

A NOVEL ARGUMENT FOR FLOWERS BY WIRE

Here is an illustration, selected from the September-October Advertising
Service Bulletin of The Florists Exchange, which every retailer can use most
effectively in his advertising of flowers by wire.

A man in Portland, Maine, ordered
flowers one afternoon at two o'clock,
and they were delivered to his wife
in Portland, Oregon, the same day
at eleven in the morning. Our
flower delivery by telegraph actu-
ally beats the sun across the day.
Remember that we deliver flowers
anywhere, any time, any place,
between Medicine Hat and Mexico,
and in an hour's time if need be.

By ALMA E. KLUNDER

The "Art of Attracting" was beautifully
demonstrated in a window display of one
of our leading florists. On a green vel-
vet carpet, in the center of his window,
he arranged two priest robes of rich
scarlet and gold combination. Three
wrought iron stands were the features.
The one in the center held a glass bowl
of the oval design. This was filled with
water and in the center, he stood erect,
a fine full blown Premier Rose. The
flower was completely immersed and the
florist told me it had been in the water
just where I saw it for two days, yet it
was still perfect in color. It was cer-
tainly a clever idea, for it looked very
beautiful and harmonized with the scarlet
in the priest robes. The other two iron
stands held Italian pottery bowls of fan-
ciful design; in these were variegated
plants of the class usually employed in
fancy baskets. Back of this setting stood
majestic Cibotium ferns with their graceful
foliage falling in a bower over this most
attractive window setting.

A Rustic Scene

-. An old fashioned wind mill was the cen-
ter of attraction in another leading flo-
rist's window. He modeled the old mill
out of tin and painted it red. The design
was that of an old Dutch mill; the wheel
at top being light green. This kept re-
volving and with each turn threw out
water from a spout in the lower part of
mill, and this flowed over three steps
leading up to it. The mill was set on a
good solid foundation and the steps as
well as foundation were covered with
green moss. In the center of each step, a
sort of scoop was made of tin on which
the water rolled out into a small tank
below. The entire floor of the window was
covered with green moss to give a grassy
appearance. As a background four Cedar
trees were used. These were planted in
tubs also covered with green moss. One
of these trees stood back of the mill; the
other three were grouped opposite. The
completed window was a beautiful demon-
stration of what can be done to give the
store a cool and summery attraction. The
Cedar trees were about five feet tall.

Picture Effects

This same florist in order to bring
out the attractiveness of a handsome bunch
of red Jack Dahlias, took a large picture
wooden frame and painted it black. He
stood this on a pedestal, building a box
effect about two feet in depth. At the
back he placed a mirror. Two tiny red
velvet curtains were draped on each side
of the mirror. Three steps led up to the
mirror and these as well as the lower
part of inner box were covered with black
cloth. The dull blue vase which held the

Dahlias was then placed in the center and
around the base was arranged a mossy
green velvet drape which hung in grace-
ful folds' over the side and steps extend-
ing to the front part of the window.

On either side stood a tall handle bas-
ket filled with a motley array of Summer
garden flowers. The background was a
tall, beautiful Cibotium fern spreading
its dainty foliage to give a softness to the
setting.

A Paris Idea

Paris gave a little novelty design a
short time ago at one of its Fetes des
Fleurs which our American florists can
use to good advantage as the occasion
•may arise. The design was in the form
of a child's hoop; the hoop being covered
with white satin ribbon. In the center,
a wire design representing a butterfly with
outspread wings was attached and this
was decorated with fresh flowers as fol-
lows. The body was made of dark blue
Corn Flowers, while the wings were of
pink and white Sweet Peas. Bachelor
Buttons were used for the head and a tiny,
coiled strand of ribbon for the feelers was
attached to the top of hoop. At the top
of the hoop to balance the outstretched
wings, a small garland of pink and white
Sweet Peas was fastened to the hoop with
two artistic ribbon bows. Chiffon, pink
and white about 5in. wide, was used.
This can be used as a novelty for a win-
dow display and also in wedding decora-
tions. It also offers a possibility for a
cotillion dance, or at any decoration
where a novelty is desired.

In a previous article I referred to a
leading florist who uses a picture frame
for his window setting. Let me tell you
what he displayed this week. A tall
crystal vase held an immense bunch of
handsome white speciosum Lilies. They
stood majestically surrounded by Maiden-
hair fern. The mirror reflection and the
rich mossy green gave it a very dainty
appearance.

A Study in Brown and Pink

Brown and pink make a pretty com-
bination; this was wonderfully brought
out in the window of one of our florists
by the use of pink pond Lilies arranged
in an Italian font of the dull tan color.
This stood on a soft brown velvet
drape right in the center of his
window. Knglish Ivy trailed around the
sides and extended over the brown drap-
ing. At one side to the back stood an
ornamental, tall, open mouthed vase which
held an Araucaria. Various tall, brown
and tan colored vases placed at conven-
ient intervals around the window held the
two toned Strawflowers. Tiny bowls
filled with moss in which was stuck in
the center a tube flower holder, each held
an individual flower. Kentia palms and
Boston ferns were the background.

A few of our florists are using Straw-
flowers during the heat of the Summer for
displays. In every case, however, I have
noted that some seasonable flowers are

In the Name of Efficiency

From the Springfield (Mass.) Republi-
can comes the following comment upon
what our correspondent calls "a piece of
official assininity which ought to be thor-
oughly roasted in the florist papers:

The God Efficiency

"The glory of a Rose or the wonder of
a Violet have furnished inspiration for
many a gracious or gallant deed. Even
in our practical times many had felt that
flowers had their humble mission of cheer
and helpfulness. But such sentimentality
is out of date. The navy, in bringing
efficiency to its peak, has spoken.

"It seems that many of the women
clerks, who constitute a majority of the
office force, had been in the habit of keep-
ing a flower or two in a small vase on
their desks. The flowers had seemed to
brighten the atmosphere, to relieve the
blankness of the dreary offices, and to
cheer and freshen their own hearts. Some
weeks ago, however, employees of the
Bureau of Supplies and Accounts received
this notice:

Official Memorandum, No. 45
Subject: Flowers in Bureau

1. The paymaster-general appreciates
the beauty of flowers, but feels that
they do not contribute to the business-
like appearance of a business office. It
is therefore directed that hereafter no
flowers appear on the desks or elsewhere
in this bureau.

2. This office memorandum will take
effect immediately.

"Now they know better, and the office
is more T)usiness-like.' But if a visitor
looks closely he can observe that ever and
anon most of the women will glance fur-
tively into one of the desk drawers, and
in the drawer he may detect a simple
flower or two stuck in a glass of water.
You see, they have their nosegays despite
Official Memorandum No. 45."

"Official assininity" — we'll say so. And
to what purpose? What kind of efficiency,
business or otherwise, is it that fails to
appreciate the productive, practical value
of maximum comfort and happiness
among workers in any line? In this case,
apparently, "business-like appearance" is
the all important desideratum in the navy
department's offices. How different a
policy from the much heralded and highly
commended plan of Will Hays, when first
installed as Postmaster General, to hu-
manize that department and employ those
efficiency devices that work in harmony
with human psychology.

And if, as the Republican suggests, the
office staff is taking advantage of the fact
that the new rule states only that flowers
shall "not appear," and is surreptitiously
enjoying blooms hidden in desk drawers,
what does it signify? Simply that here as

always legitimate enjoyment and worthy
desire flourish all the more vigorously un-
der persecution and repression. So was
born and nurtured that spark of religion
that has become Christianity. So will live
and grow throughout all time that na-
tural, beautiful characteristic of mankind
— the love of flowers and growing things.

Kalamazoo, Mich.

August 3. — Hot days and cool nights ,
make a nice combination for growing
plants, and both indoor and outdoor stock
looks fine. However, it must be said in
regard to the latter, sprinkler systems of
one sort or another are now generally in-
stalled by those florists growing outdoor
stock for cut flowers or growing on late
indoors. Jackson's has a large slat house
for some stock like Hydrangeas and also
Asters which are doing well grown this
way. He also has a fine water system
and his Winter's supply of coal on the
place, so that he can put all his energies
into the growing end of his business with-
out further thought of rain or coal, both
of which items are bothering most of us.
We need rain badly just now for Asters
and Dahlias especially.

Some are already busy planting in Car-
nations which have done well so far, but
a good rain would help the transplanting
end. Jackson has several houses of
'Mums in fine shape and a nice lot of
Carnations in the field and it looks like
a good season's start for him.

Herman Schallhorn has a pneumatic

water pressure system in operation at
his Riverside greenhouse and says it gives
him good service, especially for outside
cut flowers which he grows largely for
Summer use, he being close to two big
cemeteries. His Carnations are still out-
side, but he has a good stock of 'Mums
and a lot of Cyclamen in 4in. pots, seem-
ingly enough to supply all central Michi-
gan, but, like the rest of us, not much
coal. This does not cause him much
worry as he expects it will all come right
before the Winter is here.

The Gladiolus convention people are
keeping matters very quiet as we do not
hear anything of it locally and as it is
only two weeks away, it looks to me as
if their Publicity Committee ought to be
on their jobs and very busy at it right now.

The first early 'Mums are being shown
at Jackson's, Max Fierston of Vaughan's
commenting on them as being the earliest
he has seen this year, and of good size
and quality. Mr. Fierston starts next
week for the florists convention at Kansas
City and tells me Vaughan's will have a
display here at the Gladiolus Convention
with Mr. Owens, their expert, in charge

Trade Notes

The first week in August finds

sion, owing to several of the industrial
plants having to close down, due directly
or indirectly to the railroad strike or
coal strike. The fuel shortage is felt
most and is causing some anxiety locally.

The flower market is loaded down with
Gladiolus of excellent quality, and there
is a good supply of Summer flowers.
Roses and Carnations are not very plen-
tiful and of poor quality. Asters are
coming in strongly and some are very
good quality.

The firm of W. J. and M. S. Vesey have
completed their planting for this season.
This firm has purchased a new delivery
truck and several farm implements, also
new wagons to replace those destroyed in
the fire a few weeks ago.

The Doswell Floral Co. report busi-
ness as fair, and state they contemplate
building additional houses this Fall, as
their trade has increased so much.

McCallum Service Now in Buffalo

As announced last week, the McCal-
lum Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa., will open a
new branch in Buffalo, at 634 Washington
St., to be known as the Buffalo-McCallum
Co.

There they will handle, in addition to
their nationally known line of florists' and
greenhouse supplies, a complete line of cut
flowers and green goods, the product of
several of the foremost growers of West-
ern New York.

There will be room, however, for a few
more growers of high grade cut stock,
from whom communications are invited.

The manager of the new branch is Otto
P. Beschel, and assistant manager, John
B. Martin, both of whom have had ex-
tended experience in this line.

Flat Iron Folding Casket Table Top

Reed & Keller, Inc., of New York, are
introducing a new design in the way of a
flat iron folding casket table top for use
by retail florists when making up casket
tops, casket drapers, casket blankets and
such like. This table has several advan-
tages. When not in use it can be folded
flat and placed out of the way. When in
active service, after the design has been
made up, it can be left on the table and

§ laced in the wagon, thus facilitating its
elivery without disturbing or disarrang-
ing the flowers.

The frame is light, easily portable, fills
a need, and will undoubtedly make a suc-
cessful debut in trade circles.

Trade Notes

Aug. 3. — Accepting the trend of the
past five years, we can again say
that the real dull season is no more; at
least in so far as arrangements of flowers
are concerned. Funeral work is, of course,
the heaviest item, and it can probably be
said that some 10 or 12 years ago more
loose flowers were sold, but the sending
of flowers for various occasions has be-
come so universal that it has offset the
loss in the other direction. A large part,
if not the largest part, of the gain can
be traced to the market as a retail flower
center. The automobile has also been a
factor, as all places that grow Summer
flowers and are favorably situated, find
Sunday buyers. Then, again, the auto
is so general in picnic service that flow-
ers are not needed for the Sunday tables.

Flowers of all kinds are plentiful, and
naturally the Gladiolus has the center of
the stage, and rightfully at that, as some
of the newer additions are wonderful.
The price of these is holding up well,
ranging from $1.50 to $3 per doz. Car-
nations make their appearance irregularly
and are not much in demand. Roses are
out of the question, and while this hot
weather lasts no improvement can be
expected. Sweet Peas that are good are
mostly coming from out of town, and this
is the one flower that is a help when it
comes to the regular funeral work. Or-
chids and Valley are equal to the demand.
There are still a few weddings which call
for these.

The pot plant situation remains un-
changed, and until the advent of the
Cyclamen we will have to do without pot
stock.

News Notes

i Among those returned from their
vacations are: Pat Orr of the Martin &
Forbes Co., who spent two weeks on the
Trask River in the Tillamook country.
He is overflowing with the big ones.

0. E. Panzer and son Alfred, Dorothy
Bradley and Nick Schroeder made a fly-
ing trip to Crater Lake, and are enrap-
tured with its beauty. J. G. Bacher and
F. Leitz also visited the Crater Lake and
the caves in Southern Oregon.

Wm. Martin made a flying trip to the
Nahalem River in quest of his one weak-
ness, salmon trolling, and from the evi-
dence he sure hit it right. He got the
limit in a short time each day.

There has happened in the Young family
a little young florist, and if we know
"Fred" at all, neither hat nor trousers
will fit any more. That the first should
be a boy is right; the beginning is excel-
lent. The congratulations of the trade are
extended the father and mother.

Smith's Flower Shop reports business
as excellent; they give the Gladiolus the
honor of best seller.

Lubliner's wedding window is attract-
ing a geat deal of attention.

Clarke Bros, are getting in some very
fine Asters from their flillsboro place.
This firm reports a heavy run of funeral
work.

Martin & Forbes are showing some fine
orchids and say that the demand is heavy
for this dass of goods. The report of
business is good comes from here also.

Herbert & Fleisehauer of McMinnville
have started with regular shipments of
Asters. _ They are now shipping to any
city this side of the Mississippi. H. N.

Seattle, Wash.

Trade Notes

July 31. — The local wholesale house
■eports somewhat of a lull in trade during the
past week ; it appears general throughout the
Jities covered by this firm. The local retail
stores report a fair amount of business, prin-
cipally wedding work. However, Summer
slackness appears to be at its height, and
vacations are the order of the day. Even the
:ourists who are arriving here now in large
lumbers from all parts of the country (The
Tourists' Bureau of the Chamber of Com-
merce reported an average of 500 per dav
luring last week) do not appear to affect
rade to any noticeable extent.

. Quite a few members of the florist frater-
uty are showing up among the tourists, and
ipparently most of them make a point of
ailing on members of the local trade.
Vmong those arriving have been H. N. Gage
md Mrs. Gage, Monticello; Col. Edwin S.
Kennedy, Alpha Floral Co., Denver; Ed.
3rown, Vancouver, B. C; Fred Chalmer of

oward and Smith, Los Angeles, and wife
;ri wedding trip, and Geo. Skinner and Mrs.

■cinner of Culbertson's Flower Store, Spo-

kane, the latter enjoying an auto trip down
the coast. Sorry to miss you, George.

Odd Notes

A slight boost was given to retail trade
by the floral decorations employed by various
firms taking part in the Northwest Trades
Exhibition, held in Seattle last week.

A very fine vase of Aconitum autumnale,
Monkshood, was noticed at the Wood-
lawn Flower Shop during the week.

To digress for a moment, it may interest
the writer of the article on Viola cornuta,
pp. 215, issue of F. E. for July 22, to know
that V. cornuta is a regular commercial
cut flower in this city and is grown in large
quantities. In a local nursery there was a
bed of it, 40 ft. x 10 ft. this Spring, which
by its striking color mass caused many
passers-by to stop and enquire what it
was. Here it commences to bloom in early
April and keeps it up until mid-June. V.
papilio, which might be described as of a
Delphinium blue color, also does well with
us here, and gives satisfaction as a cut
bloom, though, owing to its larger flowers, it
is not so graceful as V. cornuta.

Max Reece, a grower of Bellevue, Wash.,
is preparing to plant 200,000 Tulip and
Daffodil bulbs in variety this season. Max
asked some pertinent questions of the writer
concerning the bulb game. He wants to
know why the Government is neglecting the
bulb industry at its farm at Bellingham,
which, as he understands it, was started to
demonstrate the practicability of bulb grow-
ing in this locality, and keeping those inter-
ested posted on the subject. He also wants
to know when any practical work on various
bulb diseases is going to be carried out at
Bellingham, and when any literature or
information on this highly important sub-
ject may be expected by local growers. Fur-
ther, he wishes to know why it is not feasible
for a competent official, qualified to identify
bulb diseases and give growers expert ad-
vice concerning the same to be available on
the staff of the Government bulb farm at
Bellingham. As a bulb grower, he, together
with others engaged in the industry, is inter-
ested in an answer to these questions. He
thinks that as the industry has been taken
up by the growers in several cases as the
result of favorable reports, emanating from
Government sources, that to enable growers
to keep their fields free from diseases and
other pests, expert help should be available
locally.

As all his questions appear sound sense,
I pass them on for information of the powers
that be.

George Lawler, Gardenville, Tacoma, is
putting some excellent Gladioli on the mar-
ket ; his Halley and Prince of Wales are very
fine.

The Seattle Fern and Moss Co. by I.
Healey reports brisk business.

Pat Sullivan, Louis Sigale, Roy Geiser,
and Pete Rosaia, all of Rosaia Bros.' staff,
start a two-weeks' vacation this week.

Will Desmond, popular manager of Ken-
ney's Home of Flowers, is suffering from a
very severe attack of blood poisoning which
has confined him to bed. Mrs. Desmond
is deputizing for him at the store very suc-
cessfully.

Fred Gust, representing the McCallum
Co., Pittsburgh, Pa., was visiting the trade
in Everett, Bellingham, and Vancouver, B.
C, last week.

Miss Wharton of the Hollywood Gardens
staff commenced a two-weeks' vacation on
Monday, and will spend a part of it camping
at Big 4 in the Cascade Mountains.

Sam Dunlap returned to-day from his
fishing trip vacation; says he had a great
time but nothing special in fish stories.

A. Becker of the Swiss Floral Co., Port-
land, Ore., accompanied by Mrs. Becker,
on return from a trip to Mount Rainier,
visited the trade here on Friday last.

Charlie Cole of Rosaia Bros.' staff is in
hospital suffering from appendicitis and other
complications, we regret to report.

California Notes

Pasadena Horticultural Society

Thursday, July 20, The Pasadena Hor-
ticultural Society held its annual picnic
at Santa Monica. Two hundred men,
women and children were present to
make merry for the day.

When tJhe society first began holding
picnics, they did so on Sunday, with the
thought in mind that they could not get
away from their duties on week days.
Finally they were persuaded to try it on
a week day and, to their astonishment,
discovered that more folks celebrated
with them than on Sunday. The Camp-
bell Seed Store of Pasadena always
closes on that day, all hands going to

the merrymaking. The men do the cook-
ing and the serving at all these func-
tions and have become quite expert
chefs. Their coffee this time was of the
"Corvallis" type ; by that I mean weak.
This thought was put into my head last
Summer when in Oregon and stopping
for the night in Corvallis, we took our
meals in a restaurant kept by two senti-
mental young women who had all sorts
of epigrams on the walls. One of these
read : "Don't make fun of the coffee, you
may be old and weak yourself some
day."

A half ton of Watermelons, how many
sandwiches I do not know, a bushel of
Potato chips and gallons of ice cream
were necessary to appease the appetites
of the hungry crowd. To be sure, there
was bowling and baseball by the huskies.
Bowling always seemed to me to be too
much hard work, therefore I never in-
dulged in the sport.

Horticultural Hall for Pasadena

Julius Thelin, president of the society,
announced after lunch that the building
of a Horticultural Hall by the Society
to cost $100,000 within the next twelve
months had been decided. The society
has had this thought in mind for many
years, and it is a pleasure to know that
the dream is to come true. When com-
pleted, the city will have a building
which will be in harmony with the archi-
tecture of its finest structures. Then the
society will have a permanent place for
holding their semi-annual flower shows.

Nemesias and a Correction

The printer recently made me say
that all the lower leaves are stripped
from Radish plants on the Morse Seed
Farms; it is the Lettuce only which
receives such treatment.

It was in June 1911 I first saw Ne-
mesia strumosa illustrated, and the first
seeds planted by Pasadena gardeners. It
is a plant which fits our climatic condi-
tions to perfection, and a gorgeous sight
it is, when in full blooms. P. D. B.

Detroit, Mich.

The Market

There is an abundance of all va-
rieties of stock excepting Roses, which are
now scarce enough to bring the retailers
to the wholesale houses early. Prices
range from $4 to $16 per 100. Large
shipments of choice Gladioli are coming
in and are hard to move at $3 and $4 per
100. Asters of fair quality have been
coming in the past week, priced at $1 to
$3 per 100. Other flowers available are
Carnations of medium grade, choice
Larkspur, Candytuft, Feverfew, Daisies,
Gypsophila, Lilium rubrum, etc.

News Notes

A number of the growers are be-
coming alarmed over the coal situation,
which looks very discouraging at this
writing. A couple of months ago the life
of most of the growers was almost pest-
ered out by a flock of coal salesmen, urg-
ing them to fill their bins, but the worm
headed south about three weeks ago,
leaving very little coal to be had at any
price.

Mrs. Chas. Kellar, who underwent an
operation a couple of weeks ago in one
of the local hospitals, has been taken
home, where she continues to improve
rapidly.

Jerome K. Stock, popular Warren
ave. florist, figured in an ugly accident
one day last week while driving to his
Summer home at Glenn Arbor, Mich.
With Mr. Stock were his mother, father
and sister, Mrs. Motack. According to
available information, Mr. Stock, who was
at the wheel ,swerved to the right of the
road to let another car, coming in the op-
posite direction, pass. The other car, in
passing, brushed the Stock car, forcing it
into a ravine, completely wrecking it (a
brand new Packard Six) and injuring
all its occupants. The accident occurred
14 miles this side of Grand Rapids, and
the victims were rushed to a hospital in
that city, where Mr. Stock's parents are
still confined with injuries said to be
serious.

Chas. H. Plumb, one of our largest
growers, has been in Holland for several
weeks, looking over the Dutch bulb situa-
tion. Word received from Mr. Plumb
was to the effect that he was headed for
the Narcissus farms of France to investi-
gate the reported shortage of Paperwhites.

Florists' Picnic Big Success

The annual basket picnic given by
the Detroit Florists Club and Ladies'
Auxiliary, for their membership, families
and friends, at Breitmeyer's Nursery and
Grove, at Rockwood on the Dixie High-
way, Thursday, July 27, proved to be
one of the most enjoyable and successful
affairs of its kind in the history of the
clubs. The surroundings were so splendid
that a more ideal place would be exceed-
ingly hard to imagine. The day, aside
from being a scorcher was ideal for an
outing. There were easily 400 to 500

S resent, many coming from Pt. Huron, Mt.
lemens and Toledo, Ohio. Herman Knope
is president of the Florists Club and Mrs.
Chas. Kellar is the president of the
Ladies' Auxiliary. They and the picnic
committee deserve great praise for the
hard work and attention they gave to
make this affair the huge success that it
was.

Practically all the stores and green-
houses closed at noon, giving everybody a
chance to reach the grounds by 2 o'clock,
when the games started. About 300 ar-
rived by noon, with their lunch banskets,
to enjoy lunch in the nursery grove,
which faces the Huron River. Generous
supplies of ice cream, coffee, Watermelon
and pop were passed around to supplement
contests of lunch baskets.

The activities started with a ball game,
at 2 o'clock, between the retailers and
wholesalers. The game afforded many
thrills, and at the finish the score was
16 to 15 in favor of the retailers. After
the ball game the races took place.

The Market

Aug. 8. — Conditions in the whole-
sale cut flower market differ very little
from those of last week. They certainly
have not improved and they could not
very well be worse. There are large ar-
rivals of outdoor grown Summer flowers
and also of staple flowers grown under
glass, and an extremely small demand
for both.

American Beauty Roses show an in-
creasing supply. Special grade blooms
are bringing 15e. to 40c. each and the
other grades are selling at corresponding
prices. The supply of other Roses is also
increasing, and the demand for them is
small. Top grade blooms are selling at
4c. to 8c. each in general; Key realizing
only 35c. each. No. 2 grade blooms are
selling at from 50e. to $1 a 100 in gen-
eral. In addition to single and double
white Killarney, we note moderate arrivals
of the old white Rose Kaiserin.

Cattleyas are in extremely small sup-
ply. The regular daily demand for them
is equally small, but the market was
swept clean of them during the closing
days of last week by retailers who had

large orders to execute for the funeral
of the late Mr. Fruehauf. Prices of Cat-
tleyas are ranging from 75c. to $1.50 each
for species and $2 each for hybrids. There
is an abundant supply of white and rub-
rum Lilies, and in addition to these small
arrivals of album, auratum and tigrinum
sorts. The white Lilies are bringing $5
to $12, and the rubrums $4 to $8 per 100.
There are no fixed prices on the others.
Lily of the Valley is in moderate supply,
and is realizing $1.50 to $6 per 100.

In miscellaneous flowers Asters and
Gladioli are the leaders. The arrivals of
these are away out of proportion to the
present small demand. The result is that
Asters are selling at from 15c. to $1 a
100 in general, and Gladioli at from 35c.
to $1 per 100, with a few extra choice
blooms of the newer varieties in occa-
sional small sales realizing $2 per 100.
There is a considerable supply of other
seasonable outdoor grown flowers, such
as Delphinium, both perennial and an-
nual, Buddleia, Dahlias, Gypsophila, Lia-
tris and a few Sweet Peas. Greens of all
kinds are meeting very limited demand.

{Growers of high-class greenhouse stock are invited to communicate)

proprietors. J. K. Allen, "The Old Re-
liable," of 43 West 18th St., is taking a
two weeks' holiday, much of which he ex-
pects to spend fishing in the waters of
Lake Mahopac, New York. Albert W.
Allen, his son, returned on Thursday, July
27, from a 12-day ocean trip to St. Johns,
Newfoundland. Mr. Allen not only did
St. Johns, but also Halifax, and took
several auto rides into the surrounding
country, returning in a much gratified
and satisfied mood.

Alfred Schuette, salesman for J. K.
Allen, has returned from his vacation,
which he spent at Northport, L. I., paying
frequent visits while there to his friend,
John D. Knickman, of ISast Northport.
Mr. Knickman, by the way, has a nursery
■and makes a specialty of growing double
Gypsophila paniculata. He roots grafts
from 10,000 to 15,000 or more of these
plants each year, and finds that they are
quickly disposed of; these grafted plants,
he tells us, are 100 per cent double. Mr.
Knickman is also a considerable grower
of Rosa multiflora japoniea stocks, of
which he has 250,000 growing this year.

J. S. Fenrich and family are taking
their vacation, as usual, by summering
at their cottage at Bradley Beach, N. J.
Mr. Fenrich commutes daily to his place
of business at 43 West 18th st.

Jack Trepel of Trepel Florists, Inc.,
Brooklyn, accompanied by his wife and
daughter, is on a four weeks vacation.
Mr. Trepel, though brought up in and
thoroughly devoted to the retail business,
has often told us that if he could live the
life he would like to live, it would be
out in the country on a large farm. There-
fore, he is taking his vacation on such a
farm in Connecticut. His friend, Edward
Brenner, the wholesale florist of 43 West
18th st., has received several postals say-
ing that he and his family are having a
very enjoyable time. Joseph Trepel is very
proud of his flower garden at his country
place on Long Island, where he and Mrs.
Trepel and their daughter are passing the
Summer. Mr. Trepel i has promised us a
photo of his garden.

Wm. Kessler, 113 West 28th st., and
Mrs. Kessler returned on Thursday of last
week from a four weeks vacation, in which
Mr. Kessler managed, he says, to combine
business with pleasure. They spent the
four weeks touring in their auto.

Samuel C. Gilbert, 43 West 18th St.,
accompanied by Mrs. Gilbert and his
son, expects to leave this city Sunday,
Aug. 13, in their auto for a two weeks
vacation to the Thousand Islands.

Paul Rigo, manager of the Henshaw
Floral Co., 35 West 18th St., left this

city Saturday for his annual vacation
which he will pass with his family at
Long Island, Me.

Edward Brenner, 43 West 18th st., in-
stead of spending his money in a vacation
trip has invested it in a new auto, in
which he and Mrs. Brenner are taking
short trips to points of interest.

At Wm. Mackie's, 43 West 18th st., we
noted this week large arrivals of splen-
did blooms of many of the latest varie-
ties of Gladioli. As we looked at them,
the thought came to us that it is a great
pity that Gladioli of this quality are com-
ing into the market at a time when the
market is flooded with these flowers and
when there is very little demand for them.
We noticed also at Mr. Mackie's some ex-
cellent blooms, of the comparatively little
seen Lilium album.

The Charles H. Totty Co., Madison, N.
J., has leased the store and basement
at 4 E. -53d st. for use as a New York
office for his catalog business, in view of
the fact that many of his customers find
it more convenient to call on him and
leave their orders in New York City than
to go to Madison. Besides having an of-
fice for his catalog business, Mr. Totty
will maintain a retail flower business
there. The store has about 35ft. front on
53d St., and a depth of about 100ft., and
will open for business about Sept. 15.

Max Schling, 785 Fifth ave., was making
all preparations to go to Canada recent-
ly, when he received an order for the
floral decorations for the New York
Fashion Show at the Astor Hotel, Aug 9.
When calling on him recently we found
the store force very busy executing very
large orders for the funeral of the late
Mr. Fruehauf, which took place on Sun-
day, Aug. 6. Besides this, not a few or-
ders for late weddings are steadily com-
ing in. Mr. Schling will leave the city
on Aug. 15 to attend the S. A. F. and 0.
H. Convention at Kansas City. His part-
ner, A. M. Scheider and Mrs. Scheider
are now in Europe on a vacation trip.
Calling on Mr. Schling we had the pleas-
ure of meeting Norman Sullivan, formerly
associated with his father, J. F. Sullivan
of Detroit, Michigan. He is now en-
gaged in another line of business in this
city.

We noticed Charles B. Weatherhead
calling on his friends in the 18th st. whole-
sale cut flower market on Friday of last
week. The only change Mr. Weather-
head's friends can see in him is that hav-
ing apparently reached the age limit some
time ago, he is now growing younger every
year.

New York — (Continued from page 430)

The Henshaw Floral Co.'s crew at 35
West 18th st. have thoroughly renovated
and repainted their quarters and made
it fully ready for the Autumn trade. They
have moved the old ice bos, shipping it
to their new wholesale store at Newark,
N. J., and in its place are installing an
uptodate ice box, acquired by this com-
pany at the recent bankrupt sale of
George J. Polycranos' effects.

The New York Florists Club is now
mailing out to members its 1922 directory
— a pocket size booklet of 64 pages con-
taining constitution and by-laws, list of
members, officers and committees, the last
reports of secretary and treasurer, rules
governing club exhibits and a couple of
blank, ruled pages on which names of
new members can be noted and suggestions
for club discussion jotted down.

Secretary John Young of the N. Y.
F. C. received recently an offer from a
golf course construction company whereby
the club can have its own golf course on
Long Island at a cost of approximately
$25,000 a year. All in favor of this ac-
quisition will please say "Aye." But
perhaps the members may wish to refer
the proposition to the "Good of the Club
Committee" before it is acted upon.

Among the delegates from New York
City and vicinity going to Kansas City
we learn of the following names: Mr.
and Mrs. A. L. Miller and Miss Elizabeth
Falk of Jamaica, L. I.; Mr. and Mrs.
Reis, Union Hill, N. J.; E. A. Coon,
Rhinebeck, N. Y.; Anton C. Schultheis,
College Point, N. Y.; Henry A. Bradt,
Central Bridge, N. Y.; Henry Schmidt,
North Bergen, N. J.; Mr. and Mrs. Frank
H. Traendly and daughter, L. W. C. Tut-
hill, C. Forman of the Henshaw Floral
Co., Miss Cora M. Fichtl, Mr.
and Mrs. Roman J. Irwin and A. T.
De La Mare of New York City; Theodore
Trevillian of F. R. Pierson Co., Tarry-
town, N. Y.; Thos. Roland, Nahant, Mass.;
Chas. Tucker, Arlington, N. J.; J. G.
Esler and Miss V. Caycedo of Saddle
River, N. J.; William Rodman, Brooklyn,
N. Y.; Joseph Manda of West Orange,
N. J.; W. A. and Albert Manda of South
Orange, N. J.; Chas. L. Thayer, Amherst,
Mass.; R. Vincent, Jr., White Marsh,
Md. Wallace R. Pierson of Cromwell,
Conn., and A. M. Henshaw have already
started by auto. — See note.

"Across the Continent"

No, we are not referring to a recent
successful moving picture of that name,
but to the pilgrimage by auto to Kansas
City of two redoubtable Easterners, name-
ly, A. M. Henshaw of New York and W. R.
Pierson of Cromwell, Conn. Today, Aug.
9, we are in receipt of an interesting
postcard portfolio of news of the Lincoln
Highway in Pennsylvania, postmarked
"Chambersburg, Pa., 12.30 p.m., Aug. 7."
Inside we find the following message:

"Left Summit, N. J., at noon, Aug. 6.
Passed through Easton, Pa., Allentown,
Reading, Lebanon, Harrisburg and camped
at Carlisle at midnight. Your swivel
chair may be comfortable, but, oh, these
Allegheny Mountains! This is fine country
and if the Western States between here
and Kansas City have as good roads as
Pennsylvania, then we have nothing but
good to say of them."

W. R. Pierson.
A. M. Henshaw.
Chambersburg, Pa.

It is a pity that we cannot publish
daily bulletins on the progess made by
these intrepid adventurers. For the
question of whether they reach Kansas

City in time for the first convention ses-
sion without having to "take to the cars"
or otherwise desert their original gasoline
vehicle is of great moment — at least in
the eyes of some score of florists of New
York City and vicinity.

The Market

Aug. 8. — The wholesale market dur-
ing the past week was extremely dull.
It was however a dull week for all busi-
ness in Chicago excepting that of the
jitney owners and auto repair shops. The
loss of business to the loop merchants
during the week owing to the street car
strike is estimated to have run into
the hundreds of thousands of dollars. That
the florists lost some business in this
connection goes without question.

Even were the city's transportation
facilities all moving, it is doubttul if the
conditions would be very much different.
It is ' the season of high production and
low demand, insofar as Summer cut flow-
ers are concerned. We have it every
Summer with slight variations. This
season there is a larger and finer crop
of Gladioli than ever before. There are
more than there are buyers for, at the
present time, but the season has a long
way to go yet and it is too early to form
conclusions. The Aster crop is also large
and those coming in the present week show
improvement in quality. Short Asters have
not been selling for the reason that the
best varieties are offered cheaply which
force the inferior ones completely out of
the running.

The Rose supply is not as large as it
was a couple of weeks ago. Owing to the
low prices they were bringing growers be-
gan pinching for later crops. This is
well enough as the supply of Gladioli and
Asters are so large they should be given
all possible means of outlet. The Rose
growers will have a long season after the
Gladioli growers are through for the year.
Apart from the supply of Asters and
Gladioli there is little else on the mar-
ket. The Gladiolus, however, offers in it-
self a wide variety in both form and
color. There are some remarkably fine
white, yellow, light pink, dark pink, red,
purple and many intervening shades run-
ning the gamut of color from pure white
to dark red and purple. White Giant, a
variety of Dutch origin is noticeable
among the older line of whites. Anna
Eberius, a rich purple, California pro-
duction, is a novelty in its color and one
of the best sellers. Louise is a variety
of wonderful substance of petalage and
similar in color to a Cattleya orchid. It
is said on the market that a florist once
made a casket cover in which Cattleyas
were called for at a time wiien tney could
not be obtained and used Louise Glads
instead without arousing complaint.
Schwaben is a popular yellow, but there
are others more dainty, especially in the
primulinus varieties. The latter, while
more graceful than the Urge flowering
sorts, do not sell as well. Some fine Mrs.
Pendleton were seen the past wees; these
were on stems from 4ft. to 5 ft. long and
flowered in proportion. They were a
sensation of the market for the time be-
ing. An average bunch containing 12
stalks weighed eight pounds; they were
as fine as ever seen here.

There are enough Easter Lilies and not
as many garden flowers as there were
earlier in the season. There are not many
orchids, but plenty of Valley. Greens of
all kinds are plentiful. The forthcoming
convention of the S. A. F. is the main
topic of conversation on the market and
it is estimated that at least 100 or more
will go from Chicago.

"Autos that Pass in the Mud"

It is said that "When Greek meets
Greek they start a restaurant." When
florist meets florist they help each other
if in need. While A. C. Kohlbrand of

the E. C. Amling Co. and a party of
friends were motoring through the upper
part of Michigan on a recent vacation trip,
they got what at first appeared to be
hopelessly stuck in the sand and sat wait-
ing for another machine to come along and
pull them out. It was a remarkable co-
incidence that the next car contained
Louis Hoeckner and Herbert Hansen,
both of the Peter Reinberg Co. Neither
party knew of the other's whereabouts,
but it was a fortunate meeting. Need-
less to say the necessary aid was rendered
and both parties went on rejoicing, bet-
ter friends than ever before.

Edward Meuret, a well-known local
grower who has had charge of the green-
houses of St. Mary's Training School at
Des Plaines, 111., for the past year or
more, has decided to go back into the
growing business for himself as soon as
soineoife can be secured to fill his posi-
tion at the training school. There are
about 30.000 sq. ft. of glass there where
good stock is grown for the Chicago
wholesale cut flower market.

Phil Broadbeek, Evanston, was in the
city Monday. He states that his green-
houses have had a complete overhauling
this Summer and are all planted in Pre-
mier Roses. His son, John, has been
quite successful as a grower. Early
planted stock will be ready for cutting
in a few weeks.

Mrs. Frances Spickerman, Sandwich,
111., who is at present in Germany, writes
to Chicago friends that conditions are
very unsatisfactory over there and that
she will be glad to get back to the old
U. S. A. as soon as possible.

Fred Lautensehlager, of the Bruns-
wiek-Kroeschell Co. is driving a new
Dodge car. Fred, will be on hand at the
convention, but has not made up his
mind as yet whether he will motor
through or go on the Florists Club offi-
cial train leaving Monday evening next.
Miss Nada Wolfe, bookkeeper for the
Zeeh & Mann Co. left Monday for a
two weeks' vacation, which will be spent
in Colorado. In the meantime Ollie
Zeeh will have to do some bookkeeping
in addition to his other duties in the
store.

I. Rosnosky, of the American Bulb
Co.. left on Monday, his final destination
being Kansas City. Guy French will
also leave for the convention in a few
clays. Mr. French will motor through
and call on the trade at points between.
The Pageant of Progress Exposition
has been extended for another week,
for the benefit of exhibitors since the
opening week was poorly attended on ac-
count of the street ear strike. It will,
therefore, be in full swing during the
coming week when many florists will be
in the city going to and returning from
the convention. Geo. and Henry Witt-
bold are the only florists represented in
the exposition.

John Risch and family returned Monday
from a two week's vacation trip to vari-
ous points of interest in Wisconsin.

A. T. Pyfer of A. T. Pyfer & Co. has
a new Studebaker car. He proposes to
give it the first long try out on a trip to
Kansas City, taking his entire family
along.

Chas. Erne of Erne & Co. is all smiles
this week. August Barnett, his right hand
man, is back from a two weeks' vacation,
which gives Charles more time to survey
the wholesale market and note the move-
ments of the features thereof.

From the Pompeiian Court, Middle
Temple, London, Eng., Sam J. Bearce
writes to Chicago friends, telling of the
good times over there and washing they
could be with him to enjoy them. T. E.
Waters was remembered with views of the
Pompeiian Court and a wish for his genial
companionship.

Miss Ida Bauer of the Idlewild Floral
Co., Memphis, Tenn., has been spending
her vacation in the city the past week.
She was the recipient of many attentions
from friends in the trade whose business
takes them at intervals during the year
to her home city, where her popularity is
well established.

Julius Dildoff, representing Wertheimer
Bros., New York, and Walter Mott, rep-
resenting Benjamin Hammond Co., Beacon,
N. Y., were in the city the past week,
both bound for the convention.

Ed. Gullett, Lincoln, 111., was in the city
Friday and Saturday whither he came to
place Mrs. Gullett in the Augustana Hos-
pital for treatment.

Peter Pearson, president of the Allied
Florists' Association, is in favor of a state
law carrying heavy penalties, which is to be
urged at the next session of the legislature
to prevent the deliberate destruction of

DON'T buy paint with the idea that "paint is

tween "Malco" Greenhouse Paint and or-

qualities superior to the average, being made from
only the finest and most lasting pigments, S0%
linseed oil. It works easily, covers well, holds its
ustre and is decidedly economical.

"Malco" Interior is an equally high-grade coating,
as washable as it is wearable. Doesn't crack or

When you think of glazing think of Puttium —
the new McCallum-backed product that has already
proved its mettle. There is no tar in Puttium —
it will not crack, peel or break, it expands and con-
tracts with every extreme of temperature, it never
becomes brittle and is easy to remove when neces-
sary. Gray Puttium, especially, is ideally suited to
all kinds of glazing work and for bedding glass in
particular. Avoid needless glazing trouble and
expense — ask for Puttium.

who are destroying the wild flowers could
really get any benefit out of them there
would be no strong objection." said Peter
Pearson to a correspondent of the Daily
News. No flower should be cut unless it
could be made to serve some useful purpose
and the cutting should be done in such a
way as to conserve the plant.

"JAY EM" says:

Nobody Loves a Fat Man

During the street car strike a fat man 300
pounds, more or less, stood on the curb in front
of the Art Institute. He seeemed to be in a
hurry to get home.

"Hey ! " he yelled at a jitney flivver crawling
south.

"Nothin' doin'. You take up too much
room," was the answer.

"Aw, come on ! I wanta get home."

"Hire a dray, then," laughed the sportive
driver.

"Well, I'll say nobody loves a fat man these
days," mourned the stranded one as he called a
Yellow taxi.

They love them all right, "Jay Em," but
they can't be expected to carry them.

The Market

Aug. 8. — The flowers that bloom in
August, tra-la-la, never make the grower
rich, tra-la-la — and that's no dream. With-
out giving away any secrets we may tell
the world that there are flowers coming
to the market, and then some more and
more and more, without end. Imagine the
result, yourself.

At that, most of them seem to get sold
somehow. The retail stores take a goodly
portion, the shipping houses take them, so
to say, by the million and then there are
always the street boys. One of these goes
about bragging that he buys a thousand
dozen of Gladioli at a lick. And lots of
Gladioli and Asters are being used in ho-
tels and stores.

To mention what the flowers are sold
for in the wholesale market is impossible.
It is get what you can. Really good flow-
ers bring a little more than those not so
good, but that is about all there is to it.
About a week ago Roses had stiffened
quite a little, but at present they are
in bad again. There are some very fair
Beauty, some passable Columbias, Pre-
miers and double white Killarneys, and

quite a few rather nice Butterfly, but
there is no use quoting prices.

The almost daily showers are responsi-
ble for excellent quality in Gladioli and
also in Asters. The former are now in
full swing and about every known variety
is represented, with little difference in
the price. The first Golden Glow and
white early Frost Chrysanthemums have
appeared and bring pretty fair prices as
novelties.

Quite a few old stock Carnations are
still to be found though they are badly
neglected. Single and Cactus Dahlias, also
find little favor. The same may be said
of Sweet Peas, of which new greenhouse
crops are on hand. White Lilies seem
to have let up entirely this week and of
auratums, pink and white speciosums and
other sorts there is only a nominal sup-
ply, with small demand.

There is a more than ample supply of
Achillea, Gypsophila (single annual),
Coreopsis, Candytuft, Cosmos, Zinnias,
Lysimachia, Centaureas, Marigold, French,
Gaillardias, Mignonette, Myosotis and Del-
phiniums.

Gardenias, Lily of the Valley and
Cattleyas are in small supply, but more
than enough for the nominal demand, and
Asparagus of both kinds, also, is obtain-
able.

The next two or three weeks are looked
forward to with little enthusiasm; after
that business is expected to pick up. Let
us hope it will.

In and Near Boston

After much hemming and hawing,
Herman H. Bartsch made up his mind
that he needed some sort of vacation;
wherefore he is now in Montreal, Can.,
where, as rumor has it, the climate is con-
genial and refreshing.

At Harold A. Ryan, Inc., Cambridge,
business has been unusually brisk up to
now, steamer orders, especially, being
very numerous. A new roof and ventila-
tor (bonnet) have been put over the ship-
ping room and a lot of remodeling and
repairing is going on all over the place,
besides retubing one of the boilers. The
firm has a dandy lot of young Carnations
ready to bench and a grand lot of Cycla-
mens in Sin. and 6in. pots. The Asters
outdoors could hardly be better and the
four houses of Chrysanthemums leave
nothing to be desired. The hail of a few
weeks ago did some $400 worth of dam-
age, which gave an excuse for painting

the houses again. Mr. Ryan is much in-
terested in a good sized batch of Kurume
Azaleas, which give promise to make fine
specimens before long.

Charles E. Futterman of Charles Fut-
terman, Inc., New York, and his wife,
stopped over in Boston for a day or two
on their way to Maine, where Mr. Fut-'
terman knows the hangouts of the finny
tribe.

Moe Liebman, at the Exchange market,
is receiving shipments of grand Asters
from John H. Newman, Woburn; also
from John Fee, Jamaica, quantities of fine
Easter Lilies.

C. B. Johnson, Woburn, with his family
is camping out in New Hampshire.

Graves Perpetually Decorated

A finely arranged display of sea-
sonable flowers is the rule in the store
of Houghton Gorney, under the Park
street church, corner Park and Tremont
sts. The store adjoins, on the North
side, the old Granary Burying Ground,
against which old cemetery the wall of the
church is built. This cemetery was the
third one in Boston and was originally
called the South Burying-Ground. Its
present name dates from 1737 and in it
are at rest the bodies of many of Bos-
ton's most illustrious men and women,
among them John Hancock and Samuel
Adams and many of the earlier governors
of Massachusetts. Jonathan Phillips, the
first mayor of Boston and Paul Revere
are buried here and Josiah and Abiah
Franklin, the parents of Benjamin Frank-
lin. . The oldest epitaph bears the date of
1666. Now, all this would have little to
do with the flower store which is at pres-
ent situated in ,the basement of the
church and yet in this store the past is
closely connected with the present, for
two of the ancient graves are built right
into the store. Protruding from the wall
next to the burying ground and reaching
about five feet into the store is a walled
in space which contains the bodies of
Abraham Strong and Mary Fisk, whose
headstone, on the outside of the church
wall, tells that they died in 1811, which
is the time when the church was built
and the basement excavated. The old
graves, reaching almost their whole length
into the store are at all times surrounded
with palms and flowering plants, so that
the old couple resting there could hardly
wish for a more congenial home.

Thomas Roland of Nahant. nas the honor
of breaking all records for bringing to
the market the earliest Chrysanthemums.
On Aug. 3 he sent to his stall the first
five dozen of Golden glow, which were
snatched up in a jiffy at a good price,
being extra fine flowers with long stems.
Joe McDonnell, the sales manager, is
quite proud of the fact.

The beautiful Back Bay store of Thos.
F. Galvin, Inc., on Boylston st. never
looked any better than it does at pres-
ent with its fine interior decorated with
stately palms and large vases filled with
the choicest varieties of Gladioli, Asters
and fancy Dahlias. The large display
window also shows what an ingenious and
artistically inclined decorator can do.
Handsome, massive, antique urns are
filled with selected blooms of Gladioli and
Cactus Dahlias and draped with folds of
"Galvin-Blue" velvet. Vases of Tritomas
and Asters, Phalamopsis and Oncidiums
take up the foreground and the glowing

colors are brought out more vividly with
choice ferns, placed here , and there. The
front of the store is improved for two
stories by beautifully arranged window
boxes and the street front is furnished
with a low hedge of Arbor vita. A more
imposing store front can hardly be im-
agined. The store management is contem-
plating a grand "White Way" effect of
lighting for' the entrance and sidewalk.
Steamer and F. T. D. business, so far,
has been more than good.

Many of the employees at the store are
enjoying their Summer vacations. J. R.
McDonough, the manager, is at his Sum-
mer cottage at Houghs Neck; Edward
Murray, the buyer, is spending three
weeks at Oak Biuffs, while S. L. Francis
is taking it easy at Pinehurst; N. H.

H. Whittemore, Waltham, is just glaz-
ing a new greenhouse, 109ft.x30ft.

Mrs. Antoine Leuthy, wife of our well
known retired plant grower of Roslindale,
sailed for Cherbourg, France, on the
steamer Finland, July 5, taking with her
her little daughter. Mrs. Leuthy will
visit her mother in Sweden and many lo-
calities in England, Scotland and Wales.
Antoine goes about like a rooster with
his head cut off and was last seen making
tracks for the Caledonian picnic, where
he is sure to meet some congenial souls,
as of yore.

Donald Carmichael of Wellesley has
just returned from a month's tour which
took him to the Canadian Rockies, Mon-
tana, Nevada, the Yellowstone Park and
way beyond Los Angeles in California.
Mr. Carmichael can talk quite entertain-
ingly and enthusiastically about his trip
and says that he is feeling years younger;
in fact, he looks it too.

Three Outside the City Items

Chas. H. Kaulbach of Haverhill, Mass.,
is transferring his store from 28 Main
st. to 40 Main St., almost opposite from
the old store. The new store will be an
uptodate, attractive feature on Haver-
hill's most conspicuous thoroughfare; the
larger quarters being necessitated on ac-
count of the ever increasing business.

Hans Hanson, on the corner of Myrtle
st. and Fellsway, Medford, Mass., has just
completed the erection of a 150ft. x32ft.
modern greenhouse, for which the A. T.
Stearns Co., Neponset, Mass., furnished
the material. Dan Steward did the build-
ing.

The Laconia Flower Store, 66S Main st.,
Laconia, N. H., has been sold by C. L.
Howe to Leroy Phineas, who has been
the manager for some fifteen years. Mr.
Howe, who formerly had a chain of five
stores, has only one store left, the Ports-
mouth Flower Shop, Portsmouth, N. H.
Mr. Howe has taken The Florists Ex-
change since its first issue and considers
it the best of all trade papers.

Colorado Bug in France

The Colorado Potato bug threatens to
become a menace in Bordeaux and vicinity.
The pest appears to be spreading despite
efforts to stop it.

Now how did the bug get there ? Was it
sent out to keep the Doughboys company
during the war years, and what is France
going to do about it in the way of retaliation ?

One of the best Cut Flower Items is

ASTERS

Most of them show wonderful quality. Asters of that
kind will surely find sale in any retail store that will prop-
erly display them.

We can furnish you good Asters in most any quantity.

GLADIOLI

EASTER LILIES

As we have mentioned
many times previously, we
make a specialty of Good
Lilies during the Summer
months.

There will be a good
supply of them during the
entire season, because the
planting is much larger this
year.

You can buy the flowers cheap enough, so help the
market by increasing your daily sales. We will give you
the benefit of this good supply.

Doing Things Big

Judging,, M , the claims of Hillsdon,
Watts, Ltd. Sydney, N. S. W„ the largest
growers' of Kehtias and Aspidistras are
not located in Belgium nor in California.
The firm , above mentioned, advertises it-
self as the largest grower of Kentias and
Aspidistras in the world. What becomes
of the stock, by the way?

The first week in August was prob-
ably the worst week of the season so far.
Asters have been coming in heavily all
along and that week saw the last rush of
the early Gladioli, along with the first of
the late varieties. The week of Aug. 7
was, perhaps, not noticeably better, but
throughout the market it is prooable that
less stock was received.

Asters now lead the market in quan-
tity and will continue to do so during
their season. But most of the stock is
poor and what good stock is available
meets a demand which is very fair consid-
ering the time of year. In fact this item
of quality as against quantity is one which
can be applied to almost any stock on the
market. Asters range from 50e. to $4
per 100.

Although Gladioli have passed their
zenith, there is, according to present in-
formation, sufficient stock planted to
bring in a big crop through August. Prices
range from 4c. for extra quality to lc.
and lower.

Russell, Columbia and Double White
Kill'arney still lead in Roses, and quality
in these is as good as might be expected
in August. A new item on the market is
Golden Ophelia, which is a novelty on ac-
count of its fine color. Although there
is nothing over 12in. as yet, the variety
looks promising.

Easter Lilies are going fairly well at
$12.50 to $15 per 100.

3000 next year. But those 3000 would
all of them be nice, heavy stock and the
best I could grow. I will venture that I
would work only half as hard next year
as I did this and that my pocketbook
would be twice as fat as when the season
was over. Moreover, the farmer who
grows Asters cannot do this. He cannot
afford the time and he has not the skill
to produce quality. The grower can. The
production of a quantity of good stock
would practically prevent the farmer grow-
er from getting in on the market at all
and it would encourage flower buying from
the public if they could get something
really good in the way of Summer blooms."

Notes

The Leo Niessen Co. still has some
Am. Beauty. Aug. 5 this firm filled an or-
der for 100 specials.

With Clarence Alwine devoting his full
time to the Bickley Greenhouses, the old
range at Secane, Pa., operated under the
name of the Philadelphia Carnation Co.,
will be sold by the Crawford estate. The
sale is being handled by Wm. W. Craw-
ford, 233 S. 11th st.

C. U. Liggit says business is better
with him than at this time last year. The
sale of Chrysanthemums is about over
here and there is a good demand for Car-
nations, Cyclamen, Roses and other Win-
ter flowering stock.

With Lilies easing up a little in sup-
ply, the A. M. Campbell Co. finds busi-
ness picking up.

S. S. Pennock, E. J. Fancourt and Mr.
Faust will represent S. S. Pennock Co.
at Kansas City. Mrs. Pennock and the
Misses Alice and Virginia Pennock will
also go to Kansas City.

J. P. Eisele of Dreei's left Aug. 8 for
the convention.

Messrs. Crawford and Price will accom-
pany Jos. C. Neidinger, Sr., to Kansas
City.

Mr. "Vanderbreggen of the Robert Craig
Co. has returned from Germany, and Rob-
ert Craig, Sr., was in Philadelphia Aug.
7 to greet the wanderer.

Retailers

The Wm. W. Crawford Co. cele-
brated its 44th birthday this month.

T. Nielson Geiger finds his specialty of
Egyptian Lotus meeting a nice demand.

Harry W. Jones of Habermehl's, who is
now taking his vacation, spent last week-
end on a yacht cruise with Mr. Turner
and John Lake, also of Habermehl's, re-
turning Aug. 7.

W. Cleaver Harry will represent Chas.
Henry Fox at Kansas City.

J. L. Pennock of Pennock Bros, is spend-
ing the Summer at Seaside Park, N. J.,

keeping in touch with business at the same
time.

The Bulletin for Aug. 4 carried the
following note:

The West Philadelphia Hod and Gun
Club's record for big bass has been
broken by Frank M. Ross, of this city.

On Tuesday, in the lake at Middle-
town, Del., Mr. Ross hooked a seven-
and-a-quarter-pound bass, which he
landed after a twenty-minute fight, with
a four-and-one-half-ounce rod. The fish
was caught with a fly. The biggest bass
caught by a club member before
weighed six and a half pounds.

Baseball

The week's games are as follows:
Aug. 3 — Bickmore 15, Independents 5;
Dreer 15, Pennock 6; Retailers 14, Bay-
ersdorfer 6; Niessen 12, Craig 8. Aug.
7 — Bickmore 13, Dreer 2; Bayersdorfer
16, Pennock 7; Craig vs. Retailers (post-
poned) ; Independents 22, Niessen 13.

In the I. F. C.-Niessen game Aug. 7,
Klinger of Niessen was badly hurt, trip-
ping over a base bag and suffering a heavy
fall which rendered him unconscious for
several minutes. He was taken out of the
game and was in the hospital at the time
of writing (Aug. 8), although his exact
injury was unknown. Taviana, also of
Niessen, collapsed after the game.

The second game between I. F. C. and
Berger family was postponed from Aug.
4 to 9.

The committee appointed to investigate
the placing of the Retailer's pitcher,
Messrs. Miller and Klinger are, it is un-
derstood, about ready -to make a report.
Mr. Klinger's injury may hold this mat-
ter up for the present, however. Another
protested game has been entered — Bayers-
dorfer vs. Retailers, Aug. 3.

The postponed games include Craig vs.
I. F. C; Niessen, Retailers and Bayers-
dorfer and Pennock vs. Dreer and Re-
tailers— six in all.

Taking the present scores, regardless
of the fact that four games are protested,
the club standings follow:

W. L. P. C.

Bickmore S 2 .800

Retailers 6 2 .750

Craig 4 2 .666

Bayersdorfer 5 4 .555

Niessen 5 4 .555

I. F. C 4 5 .444

Dreer 2 7 .222

Pennock 0 8 .000

In the event of protested games be-
ing cancelled, Retailers would drop to a
tie fifth place with I. F. C. and the race
for second place would be close, with Craig
holding .666 and Niessen and Bayersdorfer
tie at .625. Bickmore would still lead
the league.

Field Day at the Market Garden Field
station, Lexington

That the market gardeners and farm-
ers of Middlesex and adjoining counties
are realizing every passing year the im-
portance ot the work done and help given
at the Market Garden Field Station on
Keed st., Lexington, Mass., was abund-
antly demonstrated on Aug. 2 wnen nearly
1000 market gardeners and farmers at-
tended the annual field day. Although tne
sky promised rain from early morning (it
held off until the close of the exercises,
when it actually began to pour in earnest)
a steady stream of visitors came from ail
parts of the State, besides many delega-
tions from all the neighboring States. By
noon every available parking space was
filled with automobiles. A large number
of florists and private gardeners from
Boston and vicinity was also present. The
accommodations for lunch and refresh-
ments were excellent and much appre-
ciated and the program of demonstra-
tions, lectures and discussions was car-
ried through in an admirable manner un-
der the direction of Prof. Harold F.
'ihompson, head of the Department of
Vegetable Gardening, who was kept busy
every minute of the day and contributed
much to the success of the undertaking.

The Market Garden Field Station is an
experimental and demonstration farm for
Massachusetts vegetable growers. It was
made possible through the cooperation of
the organized vegetable growers of Mas-
sachusetts, led by the Boston Market Gar-
deners Association. It is a part of the
equipment of the Massachusetts Agricul-
tural College and Experiment Station, and
is managed by the Department of Vege-
table Gardening. The total area is 12
acres, with approximately 10 acres avail-
able, for crop production. The whole
area is underdrained according to the
most approved scientific plans.

Tnere are four greenhouses of the
type best suited for vegetable production,
which illustrate economical and satisfac-
tory construction with high eaves and
ridge, the best type of ventilation and
foundation. Houses No. 1 and No. 2
were built in 1918; No. 3 and No. 4 in
1919, and the boiler house in 1920. The
fuel used is crude oil; consumption during
Winter of 1920-1921 was 25,160 gallons
and during the Winter of 1921-1922, 26,-
879 gallons. The Winter of 1920-1921
was very mild, while that of 1921-1922
was severe. The station has become more
proficient in using oil. Lettuce occupied
all houses until April 1921. This year
the houses No. 1 and No. 2 were set to
Cucumbers about the first of the year.

Running expenses for the year just
pas,t, including administration, salaries,
help, heating, fertilizers, seeds, etc., were
$9000, toward which $300 worth of prod-
uce were sold.

The trial and experimental plots are
laid out in five areas, divided in sections
of %acre and provided with bulletin
boards showing rotations of crops, treat-
ments, crop results and general observa-
tions. Variety tests occupy many sec-
tions and labels on each plot explain the
work under way.

Area A is devoted to miscellaneous va-
riety tests including the three Pennsyl-
vania State College varieties of Toma-
toes— Perm State, Earliana-Nittany and
Manchum; seed production of "yellows,"
resistant Norfolk Savoy, Spinach and a
test of effect on Dandelions of planting
July 1, July 15, Aug. 1 and Aug. 15, in
regard to weight and quality for early
Spring sale.

Area B is given up to selected Wash-
ington Asparagus. Prof. J. B. Norton,
who developed this strain at Concord in
1918, has asked to give up the name
"Martha" and to adopt "Selected."

An individual record has been made
of the yield of about 1000 plants. The
extreme variation has been from 37 stalks
to one stalk per plant. Cutting began
May 6, 1922, and stopped June 20, 1922.
The best plant this year yielded 37 stalks;
last year 44 stalks. Last year 31 cut-
tings were made, beginning April 20 and
stopping July 1, making 7 more cuttings
than this year.

Area C is the Manure Economy Test.
This test is to study the possibilities of
maintaining profitable producrtion with
a decreased supply of stable manure.

Area D is a duplicate of an experiment
being conducted at Amherst on Squash
vine borer control, while Area E is al-
most wholly devoted to variety tests.

The buildings include! administration
building, which houses the offices, a lab-
oratory, reading, reference and commit-
tee rooms. There is a fireproof safe for
records and space for storage on second
floor and in the basement. The Farm
Cottage was built according to one of
the best of the war plans for a conven-
ient low cost home. The Service Build-
ing includes under one roof, the horse
barn, wagon storage, hay, grain, seed and
miscellaneous storage; packing room, fer-
tilizer and insecticide storage and tool
room. The building has been used for
five years and has proved satisfactory.
On the second floor is a simple, effective,
inexpensive seed closet. Many men lose
more than the price of this seed closet
every year from seed losses caused by
rats and mice.

The demonstrations going on at the dif-
ferent parts of the station were intense-
ly interesting and instructive and were
watched with the closest attention by the
vast attendance. Green crops of Sweet
and Crimson Clover, Barley, Oats, Soy
Beans, etc., were plowed under with
tractors and horse-draAvn plows.

At the boiler house, the manipulation
of the oil-burning apparatus' and the
actual burning of the fuel oil was dem-
onstrated, convincing many greenhouse
men of the advantages of oil over coal.
There was also a demonstration of the
working of a machine used for bunching
and tying of vegetables, while the same
operation was, at the same time, per-
formed in the old way by hand. As
might be expected, the machine way was
by far the best, most rapid and cheap-
est in the consumption of time and tying
material. The tying machines were loaned
by the National Bundle Tyer Company.

Before the lunch hour, Extension Serv-
ice Agronomist, John B. Abbott showed
how to mix commercial fertilizers from
the raw materials and gave the formulas
for the various combinations and strengths.
With the assistance of two husky shov-
elers he produced the real, unadulterated
chemical fertilizers, with or without filler
or ballast. He gave plain and easily re-
membered instructions for how to com-
pute the percentage of each ingredient as
desired. For instance: Wishing to know
how much to use for any ingredient, to
arrive at a certain percentage, it is only
necessary to multiply the percentage
wanted by 1000 and to divide the prod-
uct by the percentage contained in the
ingredient used, which calculation will
give the number of pounds of that ingre-
dient to use for 1000 pounds of complete
fertilizer to give the percentage wanted.

W. S. Krout and Roy D. Harris dem-
onstrated the making of Bordeaux mix-
ture, showing the equipment, methods and
results, how easily it is made and why
home-made Bordeaux mixture is best.

During the lunch hour, Prof. Parrott
of New York State, a leading authority
on spraying and dusting, gave the latest
and best information on this important
subject and, after lunch, demonstrated
in practice, in Areas B and E on Aspara-
gus and Tomatoes, how to apply and use
the dust and spray, comparing the labor
and way the crops are covered. Kayso,
a new material to aid in spreading spray
material was used.

During the forenoon and until even-
ing, the hum and tut-tut of the power
cultivators and tractors could be heard
all over the fields, where a number of
these machines were at work at all times.
They plowed, harrowed, cultivated right
merrily, always being watched by hun-
dreds of spectators. The Skinner system
of irrigation, also, was in operation in
several sections.

At 3 p.m. the meeting of the Massa-
chusetts State Vegetable Growers Associa-
tion was held in the open, with talks by
the Experiment Station Director, Sidney
B. Haskell and the Extension Service Di-
rector John D. Willard. At the close of
the meeting, Harold F. Thompson, head
of the Department of Vegetable Garden-
ing, explained the Field Station's aims and
projects and called to the attention of his
hearers the fact that this field station is
their own; and always anxious and ready
to be of service to the vegetable growers
and farmers, and that the answering of
questions and solving of problems is the
station's business.

The officers of the Market Garden
Field Station are to be congratulated
upon and may feel proud of the con-
spicuous success of this year's field dav.

News Notes

Carl S. Barto of Stark Bros. Co.,
Louisana, Mo., is spending his vacation
with his parents in this city.

E. B. George will represent Storrs &
Harrison Co. at Kansas City florists' con-
vention, Aug. 15.

Johnny Howat, in charge of packing de-
partment in greenhouses of Storrs & Har-
rison Co., is rapidly becoming a baseball
star. His great work behind the bat for
the company's team has caused consider-
able comment, and there is no doubt but
what Johnny will be playing in fast com-
pany soon.

I. R. Norman & Sons' nurseries are in
excellent growing condition. Their per-
enuials are of high standard.

W. B. Cole Nurseries are placing ce-
ment driveways through their trial
grounds, packing houses, storage cellars,
etc. This makes a great improvement and
is almost sure to invite new patronage.

Henry Kohankie & Son are building a
new packing house and storage cellar.
Robt. H. Botley, supervisor of the propa-
gating department, will spend his vacation
attending Toronto (Canada) Fair.

James York, who started in the nur-
sery business recently, is making con-
siderable progress and has about 10 acres
under cultivation.

The progress of the nursery business is
not only remarkable, but marvellous. ■
Lake County may well be called the
metropolis of the trade. With many
thousands of acres under cultivation, with
soil that is drained by Grand River and
Lake Erie, there probably is no other lo-
cation so well adapted to growing this
class of stock. Several new nurseries are
annually added to the long list, and there
is seldom, if ever, any surplus stock. Nur-
serymen throughput the country look to
Painesville and' Lake County to supply
their needs.

The Storrs & Harrison Co. recently in-
stalled the Skinner Irrigation System for
growing young stock. It has already
given wonderful results.

R. E. Huntington Co. nurseries, Mentor,
Ohio, have a beautiful field of hardy
Phlox, which at present is in full bloom.

town in a modest way. Everyone wishes
them success in their new undertaking.

Bertermann Bros. Co. had one of its
large White trucks smashed up in a seri-
ous automobile accident in Bast Wash-
ington st. last Saturday. Several occu-
pants of a touring car, which evidently
caused the damage are on the road to
recovery.

used fresh or dried for Winter usage.

Recent heavy rains will undoubtedly
help the field stock, particularly Glad-
ioli and Dahlias.

Most of the Carnation housing in this
vicinity is completed. Hartje & Elder,
Baur & Steinkamp, Bertermann Bros.,
Albert Kemp, and several others have
their houses well filled with fine stock.

St. Louis, Mo.

The Market

Warm weather continues and makes
demand very slow. Absence from the
city by many of the best flower buyers
causes stagnation in trade. Demand de-
pends upon funeral work, and bouquets
for the hospitals.

Carnations are about over, the quality
being very poor. Roses show effect of the
heat, but there are some good samples of
Columbia, Butterfly and Milady. Asters
and Gladioli furnish the supply outside
of Roses. Special inducements on Roses
for left overs were made in order to
unload.

Wholesalers are taking turns at vaca-
tions, but of course expect to meet at
Kansas City. St. Louis will be well
represented.

Notes

St. Louis Florists Club will meet
at the greenhouse establishment of the
Wm. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co., Aug.
10 at 2 o'clock. Automobiles will be in
the wholesale district at 1 o'clock to take
the members out.

Preparations for thfe coming K. C.
convention and the arrangement for the
travel of the St. Louis contingent, which
promises to be the largest on record, and
the election of officers are on the program.

A big attendance is desired.

Kansas City, Mo.

Trade Notes

Aug. 5. — Business for the Kansas
City florists picked up last week, prin-
cipally because of funerals. Flowers for
table decoration in the home have not
been in demand all Summer, according
to some dealers here. Hospital flowers
have stimulated business to some ex-
tent. Stocks are unusually plentiful and
beautiful, say flower merchants. Decline
in prices has been noted somewhat.
Gladioli range from $2 to $3.50 a doz.
retail; Roses from $2 to $6 a doz.; As-
ters from $1 to $2.50 a doz., depending
on the quality. Lilies sell for $5, $6 and
even $8 a doz.

The Arthur Newell flower shop made its
largest funeral piece last week. It was
a casket cover made in a couch effect,
and afterward used as a blanket. It was
composed of Gladioli, Lilies, Asters and
Roses and was unusually effective. The
Newell shop is displaying a new aquarium
in its window, larger than any previous-
ly used.

Miss Jeanie E. Murray, florist of this
city, has purchased a new ice box, one of
the A. L. Randall large size boxes. It
is enameled in. white and has as its dec-
oration, the "Say it with Flowers" slo-
gan in silver lettering. It holds 1200
pounds of ice at one time. Miss Murray
finds it economical with ice.

Miss Murray comments on the fact that
the public is reaching a point where it is
much easier to please, especially in the
respect that it is satisfied with the sea-
sonable flowers and does not ask for those
which are out of season.

The great radio concert program for
Monday, Aug. 7, which had been ar-
ranged to boost the S. A. F. convention
in that city, Aug. 15 to 17, took place
promptly as scheduled. The "invitation to
the convention" was given by Wm. L.
Rock, and a talk on "City Home Beauti-
fication" was given by Merle Smith. The
program was followed exactly as published
by us on page 277. We understand that
the Kansas City Star and Wm. L. Rock
are principally responsible for the idea
and its successful execution. One of the
many florist parties which listened in was
that at the home of M. E. Carter, where
65 guests assembled to hear the program.

The Market

There is no activity in the local
market. Buyers are very diffident, and
there is no "pep" displayed at any stage
of the game.

Asters and Gladioli hold the center [of
the stage, but prices are below cost ot
production and there is a spirit of "don't
care" in the air.

Many garden flowers go to waste daily.
Lack of rain has taken the vitality out
of them and they are a poor buy. Roses
are improving in quality; some especially
fine Columbia are arriving.

Carnations struggle along; the whites
holding their own, but the colored find
few takers.

Blooming plants would sell if they were
to be had. Ferns, etc., also are in demand,
but they, too, are scarce.

Green goods are about normal and some-
what cheaper.

Cleveland Florists Club

The regular monthly meeting of the
Cleveland Florists Club was held Monday,
Aug. 7, at the Hollenden, Jas. McLaughlin
presiding. The various committees were
heard from and a rising vote of thanks
was given Kenneth Wilson for his untir-
ing work on the picnic committee.

Growing problems were discussed, and a
very interesting discourse on Cyclamen
and Aster diseases brought to light some
excellent data regarding preventives and
remedies.

Mrs. E. G. Wilson proposed that a cur-
rent events class be formed, and we hope
her suggestion will be acted upon, as there

are happenings every day that are vital
subjects in the affairs of florists, and their
discussions would not fail to awaken the
interest of young, budding florists. When
we consider that 102 new members, bring-
ing the total membership of the club
above 250, have joined the club, and only
two dozen turn out for an important event,
such as the nomination of officers, it is
high time something was done to arouse
the interest of the membership.

Much credit is due Raymond Kester for
his untiring efforts in getting the quota
of new members over the century mark.

The nomination of officers brought out
two good candidates for president. Fred
Witthuhn was proposed by Herman
Knoble and seconded by Mr. Merrick.
Carl Hagenburger was proposed by Chas.
Kent and seconded by Robt. Brydon, Mrs.
Wilson, Wm. H. Temblett and A. F. Fel-
ton. Both candidates have a host of
friends, and a very close contest should
result.

For first vice-president, the candidates
are Frank Kirchner, proposed by A. F.
Felton, seconded by R. Kester, and Walter
Witthuhn, proposed by B. Brashurtz, sec-
onded by C. Hagenburger. B. Bradshurtz
was unopposed for second vice-president.
Hugh Charlesworth was unopposed for
secretary and Kenneth Wilson was unop-
posed for treasurer.

Election is next meeting night, the first
Monday in September, and an added at-
traction at that meeting will be a Dutch
lunch "free."

It is hoped the new administration will
lend its support to the three great projects
that will make the Cleveland Florists Club
a national figure in florists club circles;
i. e. "The Florists' Home," "The Publicity
Plan," and a "Flower Show for 1923."

Everyone turn out for election and vote
for your favorite.

Charles Imbrie Kent.

Montreal, Que.

Trade Notes

As regards the flower market in
this section, the supply has been good,
while the demand has, so far, been good
also. Gladioli and Asters are arriving in
good shape, especially Asters. The cool
weather and frequent showers have had a
tendency for sturdy growth, and some
clean, fine stock has arrived. Roses from
some growers are in prime condition;
others have not been able to control mil-
dew, hence their Roses are poor.

Will Hall of Hall & Robinson says they
have had a busy week, a large amount of
funeral work having come their way. Mc-
Kenna's, Ley & McAllan, Campbell's and
other prominent florists have also been
busy. All the stores are cleaning up to
make a good showing for the coming week,
when all the best and most uptodate flo-
rists will be in Montreal to attend the
25th annual convention, which is held in
the Windsor Hotel and Stanley Hall.
The committees which have this matter in
hand have worked very hard to make this
the Canadian Gardeners and Florists con-
vention the best in its history.

Verdun of Greater Montreal had its
annual Sweet Pea show last week. The
Greenfield Park show was held on Aug.
5. Both societies report a fine exhibition
of this favorite flower. Mount Royal.

Gentlemen :

We have been using your Thrip

Gentlemen :

We use the Thrip Juice on
'Mums every week and like it
very much. It keeps down Thrip
and Red Spider, and we think it
improves the color of the foliage.

In fact we would not be with-
out it.

Yours truly,

Gentlemen :

In reply to your inquiry as to what I think of Thrip Juice, I wish to say
that I consider it the greatest insecticide in existence. It will absolutely kill
red spider, thrip, aphis, etc., which is something no other or few will do. I have
used it for the last ten years and during that time it has saved me a good
many dollars. I always recommend it to other florists. The majority I have
talked to have never heard of it. I advise you to advertise more its merits.

Yours truly,

In reply to yours of the 23d will say I have used your Thrip Juice this
year far the first time. I used it on 'Mums and had the finest plants I ever had,
also the best crop of bloom. Where I used it the plants were clean of thrip
or spider, by spraying once a week.

Respectfully yours,

have used your Thrip Juice on

tain.

GREENHOUSES

<J The business man who gets the most for his money bases his judgment of
an article not only on the purchase price but on what that article will save
and produce for him over a period of ten or twenty years. That is why the
grower who buys a King Greenhouse forgets about the purchase price. He
knows that it is no more than the price of an ordinary house and that it will
be more than offset by the low cost of maintenance and operation and by extra
long life.

•I The grower knows also that King Greenhouses pay a larger margin of profit
on the investment by growing more and better flowers than can be grown in
the ordinary house of the same size. The scientific design and construction
that lets in all the sunlight is the reason.

•fl It will pay you to get the facts about King Greenhouses before deciding on
your next house.

When you think of good greenhouses, think of "KING"

It stands exactly 80}i inches high, and is 70^
inches wide. Doesn't look so big here, but it surely

is a whale.

Here's one view of a twin, and at the
right is another view of the same section
turned about. One way it can be used
for a left hand section, and the other
for a right hand.

ANOTHER BURNHAM

This Time
It's a Twin Section

This gives you a fine look at the lap-
over-lap which joins the twins with a
nipple and holds them snug and tight
with short tie bolts.

It's the daddy of them all, when it comes to
cast iron boilers. It's so big that the sections
are twins. The fire box is so wide that the
grates are also twins. Each twin is 24 inches
wide. The complete fire box width is 50
inches. The twin sections, except the front
and rear ones are all interchangeable. No
rights and lefts. When you have a right, it's a
left. When it's a left, it's also a right.

It has the same Burnham long fire travel
that makes the short coal bills. If you want a
big, heavy duty cast iron boiler, here is one
that will surely suit you. Its hot water rating
is from 12,600 to 17,300 feet of 2-inch pipe.

If you want high pressure work, of course
the Burnham Tubular is the one. Those who
have them certainly do swear by them.

Just so you can see exactly what the
difference is between our Number
One and Number Two Construc-
tions, we are going to show at the
Convention, a house with half of it
built of one construction and the
other half of the other.

Any of you who may possibly have been
led to infer that the Number Two House
is other than first grade, can at once
prove how mistaken you are. The Num-
One is no better than the Number Two.
The Number Two is exactly as good as
the Number One. They differ only in
the Number One Construction being
used for houses over 40 feet wide; while
the Number Two is used for houses less
than 40 feet wide. The Number One
Construction being used for the wider
houses, of course, it is made propor-

tionately stronger, and constructed some-
what differently.

The Number Two, which is the same
A-One quality as the Number One, is the
house we have sold so many of this year,
for exactly the same price as the Semi-
Iron House. It is a full iron frame
house for the price of a half-iron, or so-
called Semi- Iron house.

Come around and see for yourself. We
will have plenty of easy chairs, and
the L. & B. brand of hearty welcome.

SNOWSTORM-Improved

The Finest Pure White Winter Flowering Sweet Pea

"SNOWSTORM IMPROVED"

The finest pure white Winter Flowering Sweet Pea ever introduced

The demand for a really giant sized pure white
Sweet Pea has been increasing with every year.
And it is not to be wondered at that florists
have very quickly taken up Burpee's Snow-
storm Improved, as they found it to be the
largest flowering and most perfect white Winter
Flowering Sweet Pea that has ever been in-
troduced.

Snowstorm Improved is the result of a cross
made between King White and Yarrawa. It
embodies all the best qualities of these two
varieties and easily eclipses all white Early
Flowering Sweet Peas today. The size of
Snowstorm Improved is enormous. The
standard is large, well expanded and attractively
waved. The wings are large and bold, combining
well with the magnificent standard. The tex-
ture of the flowers is one of its outstanding
features. It is heavy and wax-like, yet pure
white without the faintest tints of any other
colors.

Snowstorm Improved is a. magnificent grow-
er, making sturdy and healthy vines which
bear an immense crop of flowers. The blooms
are not only very large, but they are borne
gracefully placed in fours on long and strong
stems. It is one of the best four varieties that
can be flowered for any season, though it is seen
at its best when the days lengthen. Awarded
Certificate of Merit at the great International
Flower Show held in New York, March, 1918.

Oz. 80 cts.; !4 lb. $2.40; lb. $8.00, postpaid

Burpee's Special Wholesale Offer of Sweet Peas to Florists

THIRTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL CONVENTION

Kansas City, Mo., August 15, 16, 17, 1922

Fortune Smiles, The "Heart of America" opens Wide its Arms, Florists from Far and Near Assemble, Voices
Rise in Joyous Song, and Generous Applause Greet the Trade's National Figures, as the Latest and Greatest of
Horticultural Meetings Begins its Deliberations. Special Despatches to The Florists' Exchange covering

First Day's Sessions. Also Important Papers from all Sessions

KANSAS CITY justified her manysided title of
"Heart of America" upon the opening, Tuesday,
of the thirty-eighth annual convention of the
Society of American Florists and Ornamental Horti-
culturists. For on this first day a spirit of youth, a
red blooded and whole souled heartiness animated
the growers, retailers and supplymen gathered from
the four corners of the continent at this central loca-
tion. It was a spirit that expressed itself in laugh-
ter and eager greetings, quickly made friendships, and
in song. The spirit was more than joyous-like. The
enlivened blood leaped into the arteries, for there
was in it an element of devotion.

All things worked together to build up a climax
for the opening moments of this convention. Exactly
at noon, at the last minute, a carload of California
palms and Boxwoods arrived at the hall to be set up
as the central motif among magnificent displays of
plants from many States. With these products of
Nature, which men had cultivated for the delight of
people, were the mechanics and the supplies with
which the production and use of the beauties of Na-
ture could be facilitated. Visitors viewing these dis-
plays found their hearts warming to the profession
in which they are engaged and their sentiment was
enhanced by the meeting of old friends from distant
places. From the scene of inspiration where so
much was found to stir ambition to broader accom-
plishment in service with flowers, the visitors crowded
with eagerness, five short steps into the room where
the sessions of the convention were to be held.
Through the small single entrance they hurried in a
constant stream, and down the long, single central
aisle to the forward seats, smiling, laughing and
talking as a group of picnickers might rush to the
meal spread before them on the grass, after a busy
pleasure-seeking day. The room had been considered
ample for the convention, but it was packed and many
stood at the door eager to participate in the first mo-
ments of this notable meeting.

Creating the Convention Spirit

The juxtaposition of meeting place and display hall
was fortunate. The harmonious arrangement of the
exhibition was fortunate. The presence of all but two
exhibitors, with their complete displays, on time was
fortunate. The warm August sun of Missouri, the
clear invigorating dustless atmosphere, the spacious-
ness of the hall and the natural light, illuminating
every corner, but without direct rays of the sun —
all these were fortunate. The decoration of telegraph
poles on downtown streets over an area five blocks
square was a further fortunate thought on the part
of the local committee. There was, indeed, a mys-
terious influence in the combination of all these happy
thoughts and carefully executed arrangements which
affected the visitors visibly, and sent them from the
exhibition room into the convention assembling place
with minds and hearts ready for the inspiring mes-
sages that were there conveyed.

Music in The Air

Punctually at 2 o'clock Samuel Murray of Kansas
City, vice-president of the association,- rapped on the
table — but not to call the convention to order. In-
stead, he invited all former presidents to the plat-
form, and then began an incident novel to S. A. F.
conventions, but wonderfully stimulating and appro-
priate. A song fest it was, led by a quick-witted,
robust and jovial St. Andrews brother of Samuel
Murray, Sandy Sinclair. He tuned up the crowd, by
half-note steps, until everybody's voice was in trim,
then drew forth one verse of America. Then followed
many popular songs and "parodies with the names of
President Pennock, Treasurer Hess, William L. Rock.
Samuel Murray, Philip Breitmeyer, Thomas Roland,
J. C. Vaughan, and J. F. Ammann, each being given
a parody, and called upon to rise and be sung at. The
•spirit of youth has been referred to above; and this

HARTFORD, CONN.

is chosen for

THE 1923 CONVENTION

spirit was truly present at this convention, as demon-
strated when the song leader demanded that the men
play imaginary ukeleles, and dip their bodies in time,
while the women sang, "In the Good Old Summer
Time." Every dignified official on the platform com-
plied with hearty good nature, and the limbering of
the physical attributes loosened also the sinews of
good fellowship and spirited the heartiness of the
participation in succeeding more serious numbers.

Sandy Sinclair then called various persons from
the body of the house to sing one song or another,
much to the embarrassment of those singled out and
the delight of the others. The room was filled with
men and women, the ceiling was low, ventilation was
inadequate, men perspired, even in their silk shirt
sleeves, but every person joined the singing. And
every person was keyed up to the noble sentiments
which characterized the usual elements of the open-
ing of a convention. This ceremony is all too often
conventional and dry, but on this occasion it was
full of the meaning of the ever eloquent slogan erected
behind the speakers' platform, "Say it with Flowers."

The invocation, delivered by the Rev. Ernest J.
Kraft, rector of St. George's Episcopal Church, Kan
sas City, seemed to express the feeling which the
visitors had brought from the exhibit, and which
had been so stimulated by the singing. That is, the
feeling of earnest and hearty good will towards all
men, and of desire to serve together in the enhance-
ment of everybody's happiness. Few hearts remained
untouched or unresponsive when the prayer rose that
"those whose pleasant duty it was to provide Na-
ture's beauties might themselves, be blest in their
service to men, women and children."

First Session, 2 p.m., Aug. 15

The Thirty-Eighth Annual Convention of the S. A.
F. opened at Kansas City with a "boom," promptly
on time. The convention room which has a larger
seating capacity than at any previous convention
was filled to capacity and over 100 members were
forced to stand in the rear.

From present indications this will be one of the
biggest S. A. F. conventions ever held. The entire
city is filled with enthusiasm, and the greatest pos-
sible interest is being taken by not only the florists,
but also the citizens of Kansas City.

A Welcome From The Mayor Himself

After the invocation, already referred to, Vice-
president Samuel Murray introduced the Hon. Frank
H. Cromwell, mayor of Kansas City, who welcomed
the delegates, saying : "You all look happy and should
be, because you are in a business to make people
happy. Flowers always make people happy." After
extolling the beauties of Kansas City and telling
about its parks and boulevards, he gave the visitors
the key, not only to the city, but to its cellars as well.

Vice-president Murray then introduced T. J. Noll,
president of the Kansas City Florists Club, who wel-
comed the delegates as follows :

"You have received invitations and welcomes to
this convention through many sources and I hope a
great many of you received the personal invitation
and welcome from our general chairman. W. E.
Rock, which was broadcasted by the Kansas City
£>tar radio station. Our trade papers have given the
Kansas City Florists Club's welcome to you all, and
we wish to express our appreciation of your presence
here today. The Floeists Exchange in its Conven-

tion Number in an article on "Tips to Visitors" has
pointed out many places of interest to nurserymen,
students of horticulture, and florists interested in
landscape work. Now these places are all here, and
we will take pleasure in showing you part or all of
them. You know we are "From Missouri" and we are
going to "Show You." Make your wants known to the
Information Committee and arrangements will be
made to supply them.

"Our worthy mayor has given you the city's wel-
come and as president of the Kansas City Florists
Club I extend to you our warmest welcome."

Following the applause that greeted Mr. Noll. Philip
Breitmeyer, of Detroit, Mich., responded to the ad-
dresses of welcome, as follows :

"I rejoiced with the mayor in extending to you that
courteous welcome, and I enjoyed the remarks of the
Rev. Mr. Kraft, whose religion sets us right in many
a thing we do. In fact I have learned this: that
there is nothing possible without God, and it is well
for us to follow up that line and that principle of
thought because it was for nothing else that we meet
here today except to receive that kindly message from
Him. Therefore, we should all be well pleased and
gratified.

"I can only say to you, Mr. President of the Kansas
City Florists Club, that we know well that you have
kept pace with the whole group of our florists in the
United States, and that is saying something. We
want to keep pace with all of the work that is being
done. We want to be the students ; we want to listen ;
we want to learn. There are so many opportunities
that are food for thought; and if we would just
employ them as we go along and apply them as we
live through the world we will make ourselves better
citizens and better florists.

"So it is a great pleasure for me to respond to you,
Mr. President, and I freely assure you that there
will be nothing done regarding what the mayor has
said. We will not dig down into the cellars. We are
farther than that, thanks to God for it. (Applause.)
I can go back to when conventions were nothing but
a dream — I don't want to say the other word. When
we go to a convention we should sit down, listen and
learn something. If we apply that to our every day
lives then we have done something. In closing I
want to say again, I thank you most heartily, and
most sincerely in behalf of the organization. We
shall go back better; we shall have learned some-
thing, and that is quite worth while."

Vice-president Murray next introduced President
Pennock by saying. "Now comes the greatest minute
of my life. I have the honor of introducing to you
Samuel Pennock, your president."

Address of S. S Pennock

As President of the S. A. F. and O. H.

The Society of American Florists and Ornamental
Horticulturists in invading your fair city for the
first time considers it an honor to be here as your
guests. Each and every one attending the conven-
tion feel they owe you a debt of gratitude, not only
from a business standpoint, but in a social way as
well.

One of my early impressions of Kansas City was
in 1901, when all the country was talking about the
flower show held that Fall in your Convention Hall.
What unheard of attendance and enthusiasm and
what a wonderful show you had! It was a success
achieved only by cooperation. When I heard last
Summer that Kansas City was going to be the place
for our next convention, I had no doubt about its
being a success, for the Kansas Cltj florists stand
together for progress in every sense of the word.

One of the first S. A. F. conventions I attended

was in 1S92. in Washinston. There was a good repre

sentation of florists, but the business sessions seemed

to be of minor importance to most of the members.

The Florists' Exchange

Progressive High Class Florists Know

that it is necessary to grow some material of EXTRAORDINARY QUALITY and UNUSUAL in VARIETY,

such as we supply to our clientele for EXHIBITION PURPOSES; they need it for their critical clients
and for display and show purposes.

Though our business is exclusively with owners of private estates
who require the very FINEST in QUALITY, we have decided
to offer from time to time some of this SELECT MATERIAL
at FAIR PRICES to those who have a FIRST-CLASS STAND-
ING.

Just now we have the FINEST STOCK of TRUE LILIUM

HARRISII that has come from Bermuda for many years; there
is no stock in Bermuda that can equal our strain for QUALITY
and TRUENESS to type; open a case and look at them and if
you do not think they are the finest lot of bulbs you have ever
seen, send them back at our expense.

These LILY BULBS are the result of careful rogueing of weak
plants and selection under the advice of Professor H. H. Wetzel,
Pathologist of Cornell University, who has used these LILIES
as contrast experiments in photographing fields to show the
difference between TRUE HARRISII and HYBRID or de-
generated stock.

The Florists' Exchange

457

At least, that was my impression. A group of us on
bicycles visited everything that was worth while in
Washington. From a bicycle to an automobile illus-
trates very definitely the progress of the Society of
American "Florists in its field of work. Today we
come together with one main object in view- — to im-
prove our minds and benefit by our meetings in order
to elevate and improve the business. Business first ;
then pleasure afterwards.

I believe a great many of our members do not real-
ize what wonderful work and splendid progress the
Society has made, and the opportunity it is present-
ing its members in actual help and through better,
business methods.

Further, I do not believe it is fully realized that
the S. A. F. has made all the other branches possible —
the F. T. D., the Hail Association, the Rose Society,
the Carnation Society and many others. All these
organizations, as well as the National Publicity and
the National Flower Shows, have helped our business
wonderfully. During this past time of depression, our
business, compared with others, has been phenomenal,
primarily, I believe, because of the efforts of these
various branches backed by the S. A. F.

Membership

This is a question that has given all the officers a
great deal of anxiety — the getting of new members
and also the retaining of old members. Memberships
are the backbone of any society, and the retaining of
old ones has been thought by many to be fully as im-
portant as, if not more important than, getting new
members. Keeping our old members active and in-
terested in the society will mean far more to it than
trying to get new ones and forgetting about the old.

Last year a campaign was put on to get new mem
hers which was very successful and, I believe, satis-
factory from the standpoint of getting new members;
but oftentimes such new members are brought in
under pressure or for reasons of friendship, and a
membership of that kind is not as lasting. What we
want is to make the society. so valuable that every
florist in the country will gladly become a member.

I have felt for some time, not only since I took the
presidency of the S. A. F., but long before, that the
affiliated societies were not doing enough to help the
S. A. F. I believe there are many ways in which
their members can be induced to join the national
liody and to take an active part. Among our affiliated
societies I believe the 'F. T. D. has probably done
more for us than any other, and to it we extend our
best wishes for a continuation of the good work it has
been doing.

Publicity

This is a broad subject, and one that is not well
enough understood, by which I mean that a great
many florists do not understand or cannot compre-
hend how valuable and wonderful an asset it is to
have a publicity campaign going in good shape, with
a big fund back of it.

During May, I had a visit from a representative of
one of the large advertising concerns of the country,
who said he thought the S. A. F. could work out a
plan such as a number of organizations had adopted
in several Western cities — called the Multiple Mem-
bership Plan.

The general idea is that one joining this Multiple
Membership Plan takes out a membership at, we will
say, $50 a year, this to include the annual dues of
the society, the balance going towards the publicity
fund. If we could work up a membership in this
class of, say, 2000, it \vould give us a working fund
of about $100,000 a year, which is much more than
we are getting under the present plan of voluntary
contribution.

• I do not advance this as a recommendation, but
simply bring it before you as a plan. I think it has
splendid possibilities and is well worth considering,
particularly from a standpoint of permanency. Some-
thing concrete must be done to insure a certain
amount of money annually to be used for publicity.
I would like to have this matter referred to a com-
mittee and reported back. I have some data bear-
ing on it.

Under publicity, we might mention holidays. We
all know what they mean to the business, and the
more we push them the better the i-esults will be.
Mother's Day is a fine example of what can be done
along this line. In many localities, it is as important
as either Easter or Christmas, while in other locali-
ties where they haven't pushed it, it is far behind.

Armistice Day is one that, with judicious and
proper advertising, could be made much more of.
The best results probably would come from collective
advertising in the different communities. At our
board meeting in Indianapolis in March, it was re-
solved to refer this matter to the Publicity Com-
mittee, which, no doubt, will tell us, later in the
convention, of the results accomplished. St. Valen-
tine's Day is another that can be helped very ma-
terially by publicity.

You have been told by many people, and from so
many angles that it has almost become threadbare,
what a wonderful slogan we have, but I want again
to emphasize the fact. The advertising men of the
country concede that the slogan, "Say it with Flow-
ers" is the best business-getter ever introduced into
advertising. With this slogan properly coupled up
to our advertising, we have one of the best levers
lor increasing business with which any industry was
ever blessed. Let us not lose sight of this. The more
1 see of advertising, the more I believe we can spend
unlimited amounts and get them back ; as the busi-
ness expands, publicity must expand with it. We don't
want to squander money, but we do want to keep out'
slogan before the public. There is no question about
this in the minds of the better business men of our
profession.

National Flower Shows

As a help to our business in bringing our products
before the public, too much praise cannot be given
our National Flower Shows and those who have been
instrumental in pushing this wonderful work along.

First, we must thank those who made it possible
in the beginning to have them, and then we want to
thank those who have been carrying them on. I could

S. S. Pennock

.vhose splendid address as retiring president of the S. A. F.
won the enthusiastic plaudits of the Convention

name a long list of members who have done wonder-
ful service in making the shows the successes they
have been, but I think we all know who have shoul-
dered the work and been largely responsible. I hope
we will soon come to the time when we can have a
National Flower Show in some city in the United
States or Canada each year, handled by the National
Committee, which will come into that city long enough
beforehand to take charge of everything and run the
show in every detail without having to call on the
local florists to give their time and efforts. In this
way I believe we could get more efficiency and better
results in the end. It might be that this committee
would have to be paid — it would certainly have to
have its expenses paid. This may be more or less
of a dream, but I believe the time is not far distant
when we can have flower shows every year instead of
two or three years apart as now.

Indianapolis brilliantly illustrated what the smaller
city can do in the way of handling a national flower
show. I believe it will be only a matter of a few
years when municipalities generally will be only too
glad of the opportunity of inviting national flower
shows to them, and of assisting in the great work of
making them a success.

Annual Report

In the past an annual report was published and
sent to each member. This report is going to be su-
perseded by an annual that will be much better and
more comprehensive than anything the society has
ever undertaken. It will be, in brief,

"A yearly review of the progress and accomplish-
ments of American horticulture; a record of the mem-
bership and work of the S. A. F. (and to a lesser degree,
of other horticultural bodies) ; and an uptodate direc-
tory and reference book of practical horticultural in-
formation. Designed for florists, seedsmen, nursery-
men and members of allied industries and for instruc-
tors, investigators and advanced amateurs in the horti-
cultural field."

I am glad to say this is the result of Mr. Roland's
recommendation. The committee which he appointed
went, into it very thoroughly and has made a splen-
did contract for the society.

Standardized Plant Names

The American Joint Committee on Horticultural
Nomenclature, representing six organizations includ-
ing the S. A. F., appointed a sub-committee and an
thorized it to compile a book of standardized plant
names, the aim of which is to make buying easy by
providing definite and uniform names, both scientific
and "common," for American horticultural commerce.
This committee has been working unselfishly for
nearly eight years.

The book is nearly ready for distribution, and is
bound to be a help to every florist who wants to be
at all up to date in his work. I hope all of our mem-
bers will avail themselves of the opportunity to have
this book near at hand and with it familiarize them-
selves with the correct names of the plants and flow-
ers they are handling; and I want to make a plea for
an appropriation, the same as we made last year,
towards this same worthy cause — namely, $250.

Work of the School Garden Committee

Through this committee there has been done some
valuable work, although it may not appear on the
surface. It is more work for the future than any-
thing else. The committee has gotten in touch with
State Superintendents of Education, both in the
United States and Canada, as well as local superin-
tendents, principals, boards and trustees of school
districts, advocating the establishment of school gar-
dens.

Benjamin Hammond, who has been chairman of
this committee for a number of years, deserves more
than a passing word of praise. He has always taken
a great interest in the work, doing it in a quiet way
and making little fuss over it. It is to our future
generations that we must depend for the future up-
lift of the society, and may we have more communi-
ties with such pxiblic spirit as Mr. Hammond has
shown. If we had more workers like our dear old
friend, it would certainly make for better citizenship.

Canadian Florists

Some time ago I received a very nice letter from
W. E. Groves, president of the Canadian Florists and
Gardeners Association, in which he expressed the
wish for closer cooperation and business intercourse
with our society and our members; also that we
would send a representative to their annual conven-
tion in Montreal on Aug. 8, 9 and 10. This, we are
glad to say, has been accomplished, our society being
represented by Chas. H. Totty. This is a splendid
thought, making for broader and better business for
both countries, and one that we hope will be observed
each year as the conventions come along, with the
result that we will be in closer touch with each other.
We are looking forward with great pleasure to hear-
ing from our Canadian representative. You notice I
use the word "our," and that is the way we want to
speak of our Canadian members. They are a part of
us. This is the Society of American Florists and
Ornamental Horticulturists.

Colleges

Many of our States have colleges offering splendid
uptodate horticultural courses. Each year they grad-
uate classes, including some of our best and most
progressive young men. The coming of more of the
college boys into our business is bound to bring a
better tone to it ; and we want to tie up much closer
to them. A committee was appointed at the Indian-
apolis executive committee meeting to look into this
subject and to report at this convention. You will
hear from the chairman of that committee later.

Accounting System

Recently the board of directors deemed it wise to
change the system of bookkeeping of the society, so
that more comprehensive records could be kept, and
a certified public accountant was engaged to study
the affairs of the society. As a result a 'new system
has been installed which the directors feel has been
operating greatly to the satisfaction of the society,
although entailing more expense.

The Quarantine Conference — and After

Referring to the Quarantine Conference at Wash-
ington on May 15 and the report which was sent out
by the Department under date of June 30, I want to
first draw your attention to the fact that the S. A. F.
had no representative on the special jury appointed
by the Department to be present at the conference
and report to the Secretary of Agriculture as to its
fairness. In all fairness to horticulture, that impor-
tant subsidiary of agriculture, the florists were cer-
tainly entitled to a seat on that jury and to a voice
as to the fairness of its report. Unfortunately, the
florists were not so honored.

Notes from Abroad

Seeing is proverbially, believing, and it
is satisfactory to be able to confirm by
a personal visit tbe reports which have
been coming in of late from some of the
French seed growing districts. In the ex-
treme South, the land of Olive, vine and
Fig trees, the scarcity of the usually large
acreages of vegetable seeds is the item
which first strikes the eye. The growers
shake their heads and speak of last year's
drought, the frosts of the early Spring,
the extreme heat of May and the wet and
variable weather they have experienced
since.

A formidable list of evils to contend
against, no doubt, and quite capable of
explaining the practical extinction of the
already small plantations of Beet, Tur-
nips and Cabbages. Such Carrots, how-
ever, as were planted have stood well,
look robust and healthy and promise a
good yield. A fair amount of Celery is
to be seen here and there and should pro-
duce a good amount of seed. Onions are,
generally speaking, in a sad plight; very
little was put out, owing to the scarcity
of bulbs and what there is, has had to
bear the brunt of the disturbing factors.
It looks diseased and weak, and unlikely
to produce any seed worth mentioning.

The Spring sown articles have not had
to suffer such a long, drawn out, trying
time, and are mostly doing fairly well. A
notable exception, however, is the Cucum-
ber. Large fields are lying almost bare
with a few drying up plants and rotting
fruits. The North wind has aided the
frost and parching sun to produce this re-
sult. Melons have also suffered, but the
robuster and stronger growing Squashes
have so far defied the elements and
should, in general, give a satisfactory
return to the grower. Plantations of To-
matoes are luxuriant if a little backward,
and Lettuces, though in places a little
diseased, look like being a very fair crop
on the whole.

In the districts further North, Onions
have done a little better, having mostly es-
caped disease, and the same may be, said of
Leeks, but the scarcity of bulbs has
caused the acreage to be very limited.
Carrots also look promising, bearing large
bouquets of healthy seed pods and esti-
mates generally range at something over
half a crop. Some further notes on the
subject of flower seeds will follow next
week.

Notwithstanding the political and eco-
nomic difficulties which afflict the land,
German Rose growers are working quietly
but keenly to re-establish their pre-war
position, and last week brought off an ex-
tensive and much appreciated exhibition
in Hamburg which is reported by some
foreign visitors as being of considerable
merit, both in the quality of blooms and
the general spectacular effect produced.

New York Seed Trade

Fall Activity Almost Here

For the reason that the majority of the
store staffs had returned from their va-
cations and that some bulb shipments
from France had arrived, while Holland
steamers were reported as on the way
over, one realized, as one made the rounds
of the seed stores this week, that the peak
of Summer quietness had been reached in
the last two or three weeks, and that the
Fall period with all that it contributes
to the seed and bulb business, was very
near.

Wm. Hunt & Co., 148 Chambers st., re-
port that they have about completed the
shipping of Strawberry plants, a leading
line with them, for the season. The firm is
highly pleased with the manner in which
this business is increasing each year. Canes
of their new White Queen Raspberry will

be ready for shipment in about two weeks.

S. S. Skidelsky & Co., 53 Park pi.,
are in receipt of their first shipment of
French bulbs, the condition of which is
much better than anticipated, the re-
ported drought, in France having appar-
ently no effect on the bulbs. It is doubt-
ful, however, whether a shortage will
be avoided.

Vaughan's Seed Store, 41-13 Barclay
St., received its third shipment of Paper-
white and other French bulbs this week
per the S. S. Britannia. Further ship-
ments are now on the way over on the S.
S. Patria. A display of Gladioli in the
window of this store now catches the eye
of passersby, while, as customers enter
a minature bulb garden display, showing
a cottage, pebbled walks, and Strawberry
beds in full fruit, greets them. J. C.
Vaughan, who arrived in New York last
week, left for Kansas City on Sunday
with the New York Florists Club party,
the itinerary of which called for a stop
over at Chicago on Monday.

Carter's Tested Seeds, Inc., 53 Barclay
St., reports that D. G. Reid, one of their
salesmen, with Mrs. Reid, is spending a
vacation in the New England district,
visiting relatives and friends. Mr. Reid,
for a number of years, called on the pri-
vate gardening trade of New England, for
Carter's Tested Seeds of Boston. This
firm, since taking over the Thorburn in-
terests in New York, has deemed it es-
sential to transfer Mr. Reid to the New
York district, where he is to be perma-
nently located. This store also reports
that Summer sales have been fairly good
and indications are that the bulb sea-
son, soon to be with us in full swing, will
show renewed interest; generous purchases
are anticipated.

M. Aronowitz of the Barclay Nurse-
ries, 62 Vesey st., is on a month's vacation
at Fallsburg, N. Y. He doesn't have to
woriy about business matters while he is
away, as Mrs. Aronowitz has charge of the
store during his absence.

F. Rynveld & Son, 61 Vesey st., are
busy with heavy arrivals of French bulbs
and prepared Hyacinths from Holland, the
latter being a specialty with this firm.
With a certain shortage of French Ro-
mans, a good demand for prepared Dutch
Romans is being experienced, the Dutch
Romans having fully demonstrated their
value as substitutes for early January
blooming. This firm also reports having
received its first shipment of Calla Eetkio-
pica from California. Some of the prin-
cipals of this concern will shortly be re-
turning from Holland and, France.

MacNiif Horticultural Co., Inc., 196-198
Greenwich St., reports that its first ship-
ment of Holland bulbs is now on the way,
while cable advices have been received
regarding later shipments. Word has
been received of a price advance in Hol-
land, particularly in connection with Dar-
win Tulips. Mr. MacNiff returned to the
store this week from a vacation in the
New England States.

Roman J. Irwin, 43 West 18th st., re-
ports receipt of his Lilium formosum
bulbs, which are already being shipped
out. There will be no difficulty in filling
orders in full. This firm also reports a
notably increased demand for Freesia
bulbs, which many growers are buying in
place of the high priced Paperwhites.

C. J. Speelman, 470 Greenwich St., re-
turned from his European trip last week.
He regrets that the usual accumulation of
matters during his absence prevented him
from going to Kansas City for the S. A.
F. & 0. H. Convention.

This is an off week with the local
trade, all the prominent seed houses hav-

One or two of the faithful are remaining

James Vick's Sons Employees
Outing

' On Saturday, July 15, the employees of
the office and stores of James Vick's Sons,
Rochester, N. Y., held their annual picnic
at the Summer home of Irving Briggs,
which is located down near the lake shore,
in the Irondequoit section. Mr. and Mrs.
Briggs have had the crowd down at their
home every year, and always prove charm-
ing hosts. No set program was provided,
but we all had a good time doing just what
we pleased, including playing ball, swim-
ming and strolling on the beach. There
were 51 of us out, and we all went home
tired but happy.

George E. Peer attended as our guest,
and on Saturday, Aug. 5, reciprocated by
inviting us all out to.be his guests at his
beautiful country estate, located near the
town of Chili. Mr. Peer is an enthusiast
in several lines. He has a fine herd of
Jersey cattle, of which he is justly proud,
and his spacious barns are models of
cleanliness and efficiency. He has a won-
derful collection of pigeons, perhaps 50
varieties, all separately housed, with in-
dividual flies for each variety, and several
fancy strains of chickens and pheasants.
To say we enjoyed ourselves on this occa-
sion is a very inadequate way of express-
ing how we felt. We played games of
every kind, and explored the spacious
lawns and grounds of the estate, always
finding something new and unexpected to
add to our enthusiasm. Mr. Peer has
explored the far corners of the earth and
has brought together many strange and
interesting things, including bric-a-brac
and porcelain, as well as birds and beasts.
Automobiles were provided for the entire
party, and the occasion will long be re-
membered by those whose good fortune it
was to attend. J. A. W.

L. D. Waller Seed Co.

In the Santa Maria Vidette of July
21 appears a lengthy article on the L. D.

their 1000 acres of flowers grown for seed.
It was but ten years ago that this seed
farm was started with 30 acres; finally it
was increased to 500 acres at Guadalupe
and 500 acres more in smaller lots be-
tween Casmalia and Morro. Sixty per-
sons are kept employed almost continu-
ously and seed is sent to all parts of the
globe.

Flower Seeds Tariff Change

The Senate has agreed to a tariff rate
of 6c per pound for flower seed, for other
garden and field seeds not specially pro-
vided for, in accordance with amendments
offered on Aug. 15 by the Senate Finance
Committee. As passed by the House of
Representatives, Par. 762 provided a rate
of 4c per pound for flower seeds and
20 per cent ad valorem for garden and
field seeds not specially provided for.

It has been consistently held by the
seed trade that a specific duty was easier
of administration than an ad valorem
rate, and the committee has been urged
wherever possible to provide specific rates.
In accord with this desire the 20 per cent
ad valorem rate was eliminated and the
6c. per pound specific duty substituted.
The difference in rates between the House
and Senate bills will be threshed out when
the measure goes to conference. C. L. L.

Lancaster, Pa-

Aug. 12. — There is so little change
in the retail situation that it would be
superfluous to take up space in discuss-
ing it.

With the growers it is the same old
annual round of planting and getting
ready for the Winter season.

Repairs and improvements are in line,
and there is quite a bit of this work go-
ing on Albert H. Herb.

Bangor, Me.

Aug. 12. — The florists around Bango:
are busy sowing their final lots of Pans
seed, and getting beds ready for the see*
lings ready for resetting.

Thos. Kelley of Brewer, a veteran Pa:
grower, is planning on a big supply ne:
year to supply his needs.

Harris Rogers, Corinna, Me., was il
town Wednesday on business. He is plan-
ning to erect a small greenhouse at Corin-
na this Fall, for the growing of plants, etc.
It is a good opening for him, there beingl
no florist in that town. The people there!
are very industrious, and keep their towr*
in fine condition. In the past they have]
had to go outside of Corinna for their

Elants, shrubs, etc., which tends to hold
ack much purchasing that would be done:
if they could buy locally. Mr. Rogers has]
a fine location, plenty of land, and is} ■
greatly interested in the growing of!
flowers.

The writer recently returned from an
automobile trip through a portion of
Northern Maine. It is a wonderful eounJ
try. Plenty of fish and game — sorry, but
we could only use the rod and not the gun.
It will give us another good excuse this!
Fall for a few days away from potting
plants "looking for game." If anyone
doesn't know where to spend his vaca-1
tion, pack your grip and come right up!
into the "wilds of Maine." There are!
many opportunities for the vacationists. '

G. S. Seavey & Son are booking many!
orders for their Holland bulbs, and expect!
a good business. Much interest has been!
shown this season in bulb stock. They]
believe this interest is due to continual!
advertising, and to their "show" bed]
which contained a good assortment of the!
most popular types of bulbs. They were!
obliged to make two substantial increases
in their bulb order since June 1, to take
care of the increased demand for their
bulbs. A good example of what "quality"
will do.

For years there has been but little in-v
terest taken in some of the cemeteries
around Bangor. Mt. Hope Cemetery is
the largest, and is well supported. Beau-
tiful beds of flowers are maintained, the!
lots are in very fine condition and the
roads are kept up. Shrubs line the drives,
and as additions are made to the ceme-
tery, the new territory is lined out with
trees and shrubs. It has the financial
backing to accomplish this. The lot*
owners of the Brewer Cemetery also got
together a few years ago, and they are
fast bringing their cemetery into fine
condition.

Two other cemeteries that have been
under the direct care of the Cemetery
Board, city of Bangor, and financed by
city, have at last come under the care
of cemetery associations, one for each.
These associations have already started
work on the cemeteries, making a drive
for better roads, more flowers and shrubs,
etc. The city has responded generously
with a large appropriation to help meet
the increased expenses..

The florists can be of great assistance
in these movements, giving advice and
their time, and perhaps supplying a few
plants or shrubs. It will bring the com-
munity to the realization of the value of
flowers, and will bring them to the point
where flowers will be no more a luxury,
but a real necessity.

Coal and Your Heating System

To my mind, the most remarkable thing
about the coal strike and the many empty
coal bins is that apparently no one seems
to be worrying much about it, despite the
fact that we are making fast toward the
time when the Roses and Poinsettias will
need fire heat. You can ask ten dif-
ferent men and they will explain this in
ten different ways, but for all that I
claim that every retail grower with three
or more houses should have his heating
system arranged so that he can shut off
any of his houses if necessary, not only
in case of a shortage of fuel, but when
something goes wrong with the boiler or
pipes. Valves, no matter how expensive,
are always a good investment and while
most of us look forward to the end of
the present coal strike and an abundance
of coal, there will be sections where the
price of it may make it advisable to run
less glass. If there is ever a good time
to do piping or boiler repair work, it is
right now. Don't let the coal strike stop
you from building more houses if you
need more room, and a lot of us do, but
don't overlook the installation of the
necessary valves to shut off a house or
houses when occasion requires.

Mignonette

For December Flowering

Why not devote a bench or part of
one to Mignonette? To the florist who
retails cut flowers, Mignonette always
comes in useful. While not as showy,
perhaps, as some other flowers, its de-
lightful fragrance makes it a favorite
with everybody. Good spikes always com-
mand a fair price, and plants pinched
back several times will produce great
numbers of small spikes which are ideal
to use in connection with other flowers.
A few of these spikes will add much to
the appearance of almost any arrangement
and often can be used instead of expen-
sive Asparagus or other green. For De-
cember flowering, sow seed in 2% in. pots
about the end of this month, place a piece
of fine wire netting or cheesecloth a foot
or so above the pots to prevent butter-
flies from depositing their eggs in the
young plants. Later on, thin the plants
out to two or three to each pot and in
about five weeks from the time you sow,
bench, allowing about 12in. of space be-
tween the plants. If you want big spikes,
grow singly and pinch only once; for
smaller spikes, two or three plants may be
grown together and pinched several times.
The best soil is none too good and a
45 deg. house is quite enough.

Sweet Peas

Christmas Flowering Sorts

The growing of Sweet Peas under glass
is pretty well in the hands of the special-
ists today and with the grand new varie-
ties introduced during the past few years,
we behold during Winter flowers which
are indeed remarkable for size and color-
ing, as well as the length of stem. How-
ever, even the smaller retail grower with
limited bench space, but sufficient head
room, can make Peas pay, whether sown
across the bench, grown on in 5in. or 6in.
pots or around the purline supports. The
Christmas or mid-Winter flowering sorts,
sown in early September, will be at their
best in November and for these benches '
are much to be preferred over solid beds.
A Carnation house temperature suits
them nicely. If you wish, five or six
seeds can be sown in a 3% in. pot, the
plants thinned out later on to three and
planted out where they are to flower be-
fore they become stunted or set bud.

Lilium Candidum

Still a Desirable Lily for the Florist

Lilium candidum may not be an impor-
tant variety for the florist, at least, not
'i much so as it used to be before we
knew anything about cold storage gigan-
teums, yet it is not only most effective

when planted in groups in the hardy bor-
der, but makes a fine Summer cut flower.
If you wish to plant bulbs, during the next
few weeks is the best time to do so. This
Lily is hardly ever to be found in a really
dormant state and, on that account, suf-
fers when the bulbs are out of the ground
laying about. After planting, the leaves
will soon appear and remain all Winter
on the plant. If you wish to get it into
flower a couple of weeks ahead of ti.e
regular time, plant the bulbs so that you
can place a frame over the plant next
May, or you can plant a part of the bulbs
in pots and let them come along in a cool
house. They won't stand forcing during
the Winter months, but can be had in
flower in early Spring. There isn't a
florist who retails the stock he grows,
who can't use the flowers on their long
stems to good advantage, whether during
Spring or, later on, from outdoors.

Soil

Prepare a Good Pile Now

I never did believe in soil being piled
up five or six years before one was ready
to use it, but those who have the facili-
ties to have a fair sized pile of good soil
should always try and have it ready for
use. You soon will want soil for the fill-
ing of flats, pans and pots for the bulb
stock and the potting up of a lot of other
things now in the field, so take advantage
of a dry spell and haul soil. You can

grow and force Tulips and Daffodils in
poor soil, but they will do just a little
better if planted in good material. Well
rotted manure, mixed with potting soil,
hardly ever harmed any stock the average
florist handles, that is, if not overdone;
one-fourth of such manure in the soil you
use is not overdoing it. No better time
than the present to prepare a good sized
pile of soil for use this Fall and Winter. If
you have no other place for the soil to
be stored, leave it outdoors and cover
well with fresh strawy manure so you can
get at it next January. Even a frozen
pile of good soil is better, no matter how
disagreeable to get in, than no pile at all.
What you don't use during Winter will
come in very handy next Spring.

ysanthemums

The Importance of Spraying

The man who permits aphis to appear
on his Chrysanthemums at this time can
hardly be called a good grower for the
reason that the plants are bound to suffer
if subjected to this pest. Usually, when
a florist wants to know what the trouble
is with a certain batch of plants, it is
too late to do much to get such stock back
into shape. In most cases, one could
trace the stunted growth directly to
aphis, mite or some other thing which,
with just a little timely attention, could
have easily been avoided. Spray regular-
ly; don't wait for the appearance of

Annual Sunflowers, Kansas Style

Sunflowers (Kansas Style)

Kansas is the "Sunflower State" and
never bashful about saying so, although
the Sunflower there is recognized as an
oppressive weed. Yet the Kansas man
sings from his heart: "I want to be in
Kansas when the Sunflowers bloom."

Being a Kansas man myself, I acknowl-
edge the full force of this attachment, and
so, although I have not lived in Kansas
for 30 years, I still grow Kansas Sun-
flowers in my Massachusetts garden, where
the present photograph was made.

This Sunflower is of course Helianthus
annuus, with strong claims to being con-
sidered the aboriginal type, although there
has been some little argument about that.
It is exceedingly variable and many types
have been developed from it, such as the
giant Russian Sunflower, much grown m
gardens for its seeds, the double H.
globosus fistulosus, H. nanus flore pleno,
var. Californicus, etc. Several years ago,
Cockerell developed red and piebald va-
rieties, and more recently a red Sunflower
has been introduced by Bin-bank.

All these freak varieties, in the eyes
of a Kansas man, are a delusion and an
abomination. As an ornamental plant for
use in a New England garden, I would
rather have the pure species as I grow it,
straight from wild Kansas sources, than
all the "improved" varieties ever put out.

When first transferred to this climate
it flowers very late; but within two or
three years it catches up with the short
New England Summer. Like any native
Kansan, it is quick to take the hint and
to make itself at home anywhere. Some-
thing can always be gained by starting
the plants, April 10, in the greenhouse,
and transplanting to the garden in May;
but they will do very well sown directly
' in the open ground about May 1st. They
sometimes self-sow, but not enough to
become at all weedy in this part of the
country.

The flowers are golden yellow with black
centers, very cheerful and showy, but the
plants are tall and rather coarse.

Frank A. Waugh.

[A florist grower might do worse than
utilize these high Sunflowers for screen
purposes. Their tall stature never fails
to attract attention. — Ed.]

aphis or anything else; look your plants
over every morning; it doesn't take long.
Whether they are clean or not, don't ever
put the spraying off. There is nothing
which will keep your plants more free
from insect pests than regular spraying
with light doses of nicotine or aphine.
Stock not sprayed properly will hardly
ever pay for itself, no matter what else
you do or how good the soil in the
benches.

Carnations

Care of the Newly Benched Stock

It is from now on up to November
that good culture counts with the Carna-
tions in the benches; if by the end of Oc-
tober your plants are not in the best
shape, it is hard to do much with them
for the balance of the season. At pres-
ent, everything is in their favor and even
small stock has plenty of chance to de-
velop into good plants, ready to produce
large flowers on long stems by the time
you want them in October or November.
But they need watching and careful at-
tention. Keep the surface of the soil cul-
tivated at all times; if this is done lightly
there is no danger of disturbing any of
the roots. Examine the soil and don't
water when not necessary. The soil should
be kept fairly moist at all times, but
never soaking wet, nor permitted to be-
come dust dry. A soil too wet, soon be-
comes sour and this causes trouble. Let
soil get too dry and a stunted growth
is bound to follow. Try to strike a
happy medium, and that is best done by
watching things. Don't ever have a set
time for watering, but rather apply water
whenever it is needed. When your plants
are once well established and the soil is
full of roots, you need not be nearly as
particular as at present. Proper soil cul-
tivation, watering and keeping the plants
free from insects is what counts now.

Making Hot Water Circulate

Those who have unexpectedly discovered
hot water radiators which persistently re-
fuse to circulate, although they appear to
have every advantage that others have,
may be interested in cases I have met and
remedied. When a certain hot water job
was completed, the owner desired that a
small pipe coil should be placed in a vesti-
bule near the back stairs, "just to take
the chill off." When the coil was con-
nected it circulated well, but circulated
backwards, the hottest part being the bot-
tom pipes. The owner was very eccentric.
He refused to accept the installation unless
it circulated right side up. We ran the
coil supply up a story and down again,
thinking it would then balance properly,
but it did not. We tried out several other
theories with no better success. At last
we made it circulate properly.

We had also a case in New York, where
one radiator, close to the bottom of a ver-
tical riser, would not heat at all. We
were young then in water heating, and
ran 400ft. of a pipe circuit from the boiler
to that radiator before we could make it
heat. We were called in consultation many
times by brother fitters who were treed
by radiators they could not make circulate.

At last we discovered the remedy which
makes every radiator circulate well and
cheaply. Had we known this trick we
would be many dollars richer than we are
today; for we spent much time and money
making stubborn radiators work. The
remedy for stubborn radiators is this:
carry the return of the stubborn radiator
back into the radiator feed pipe. It al-
ways works well. Fitters think you are
kidding them when you tell them this
remedy. — The Heating and Ventilating
Magazine.

[The above may provide a tip to grow-
ers who use a hot water system that does
not circulate freely. — Ed.]

The Florists' Exchange

Week at the Capital

ByJCLARENCE L. LINZ

More Criticism of the Tariff

There has never been a tariff bill
which, during its consideration, received
such universal condemnation as that now
before the Senate, declared Sen. Jones of
New Mexico recently in a long speech ad-
vocating adoption of his amendment to
the tariff bill providing that the United
States Tariff Commission shall investigate
the cost of production of various com-
modities abroad and at home and recom-
mend to Congress such changes in tariff
rates as may be found. necessary.

"It is my contention that the manu-
facturers of the country are not justi-
fied in generally insisting upon higher
duties than under existing law. It ap-
pears that wholesale commodities, other
than farm products, are now, or were in
April of this year, 72 per cent higher
than prior to the war.

"There has been much depression in
industry in the United States, as there has
been all over the world. But there is not
sufficient evidence to show that any in-
dustry in the United States is being se-
riously affected by reason of importation.
Moreover, world prices and conditions
are such that the industries are not, and
cannot, be menaced by importation.

"Anyone who is familiar with world
conditions, including those in the United
States, must realize that no benefit may
be expected, but in all probability there
will be many baneful results from s
general upward revision of the existing
tariff law. Until the recent strikes we
were reading every day of increased ac-
tivity in substantially all of the manu-
facturing industries. Unemployment was
continually decreasing. This increased ac-
tivity, however, was due principally to
the increased demands of the American
people."

Retail Trade Good in June

Retail trade during June, while in
large volume, was slightly lower than in
May, according to a review of business
conditions throughout the country just
issued by the Federal Reserve Board.
There was also a decrease as compared
with the sales of June 1921, due partly
to unfavorable weather, but particularly
to the coal and railroad strikes. Vacation
needs were a factor in the purchasing for
the month, it is stated, and the increases
in residential building have been reflected
in buying in many lines.

Exports and Imports for 1921-2

Exports of American products during
the fiscal year ended June 30 totaled $3,-
<599,867,062, or approximately 50 per cent
of those of the preceding fiscal year, ac-
cording to figures just made public by the
Department of Commerce. All classes of
goods showed reduced exports, but the
greatest decline was noticed in shipments
of manufactures ready for consumption.

Our import trade fell off less than 30
per cent as compared with 1921; accord-
ing to the department's figures, total im-
ports for the fiscal year ended with June
amounting to $2,608,009,008, as compared
with $3,654,459,346 for the preceding year.
Imports during the month of June
amounted to 8260,390,898, of which $58,-
438,926 were manufactures ready for
consumption, $46,470,697 manufactures
for further use in manufacturing, and
$91,145,901 crude materials for use in man-
ufacturing. A balance of trade in our
favor of nearly $67,000,000 is reported
for the month.

Senate Lets President Control Tariff

After two days of debate the Senate
on Aug. 11 adopted the important so-
called "flexible tariff" provisions of the
tariff bill, under which the President
would be given authority to meet situa-
tion resulting from the dumping here of
foreign goods or the placing by foreign
countries of export duties or restrictions
on exports destined for the United States.

As agreed to by the Senate, See. 315 of
the bill authorizes the President through
the Tariff Commission to make investiga-
tions where it is believed that the duties
fixed in the bill do not equalize the dif-
ference between the cost of production in
this country and abroad. Where this is
found to be the case, the President, by

proclamation, may make changes in classi-
fications or increases or decreases in any
rate of duty necessary to bring about such
equalization. The total of such increase
or decrease, however, is limited to 50
per cent of the rates specified in the bill.

It is provided that no community can
be transferred from the dutiable list to
the free list or vice versa. A further
limitation upon the President's authority
is placed in that he cannot make a change
which would provide a duty lower or
higher than the minimum or maximum
rates specified in the bill.

The provisions of Sec. 315 are to be
continued in force until July 1, 1924,
after which no duties shall be changed
except by authority of Congress.

Section 316 of the bill provides meth-
ods for dealing with cases of unfair meth-
ods of competition and unfair acts in the
importation of merchandise, or in its sale
by the owner, importer, consignee or
agent, the effect or tendency of which is
to destroy or substantially injure an
American industry. Whenever such un-
fair method or act is discovered the Presi-
dent may establish a rate of additional
duty, not exceeding 50 nor less than 10
per cent of the value of such merchandise.

Retaliation for export duties or re-
strictions placed by foreign governments
upon goods destined for the United States
is provided for in Section 317. All ar-
ticles of merchandise imported contrary
to the provisions of this section will be
forfeited to the United States and are
liable to seizure. The rates to be fixed
to meet such a situation are to be equiva-
lent to the burdens resulting from such
discriminatory action on the part of the
foreign government, not to exceed 50 per-
cent ad valorem or its equivalent, or in
extreme eases, he may order an embargo
against such imports.

Notes of Interest

Unusually cool, cloudy weather has
prevailed for the past three days; cool
enough to make a fellow take an inven-
tory of the coal pile and also to look up
last Winter's overcoat to see if it is still
in its place.

The week's news consists chiefly of re-
ports of the going and coming of vaca-
tionists, and surely, after the strenuous
Spring and early Summer, it is good to
enjoy a change of scene, of which most
of the Atlanta florists seem to be tak-
ing advantage just now.

New Orleans, La.

The Market

Aug. 12. — A little shower just at
noon has been the weather program for
New Orleans and vicinitj' for the past
week. Now why Jupiter Pluvius should
decide to make it exactly at midday dur-
ing that period is quite a puzzler unless
he figured that he would catch more people
on the streets or wanting to go on the
streets at that time. We can personally
guarantee that the rain was wet, but
when the gnawing pangs of hunger begin
to make themselves felt, one has to eat,
that's all there is to it; and if it is neces-
sary that an enforced bath go with the
meal — well like the waiter's tip — we
must submit to it.

The little showers that caused the local
inhabitants so much inconvenience had
just the opposite effect on the flowers,
causing them to bloom in greater pro-
fusion, which was unfortunate. For the
supply has been rather small and not
much in excess over the demand. This
has been an exceedingly fortunate state
of affairs, much to be envied by growers
in other States; with the cessation of
the rains things will probably assume the
same shape again within the next week.

The home grown Radiance Rose — the
only local bloom that is still in great
abundance — practically flooded the mar-
ket last week, but fortunately it is about
the only flower for which there is any real
demand at present. This Rose has the
field practically all to itself, for florists
are ordering fewer and fewer Roses from
the North on account of the poor condition
on arrival. Also, they say, why import a
lot of foreign products when people are
perfectly satisfied with the home grown
ones?

Prices the last week or so seemed a
little lower, except on Radiance Roses,
which are holding their own at from $2
to $3 a 100, and on Gladioli, which have
gone up a little, as a result of the pass-
ing out of the local crop and the neces-
sity of ordering from the North. This
flower is worth now from $2 to $4 a 100.
Local dealers are having little trouble in
the price line and are able to get their
stock at almost what they want to pay
for it.

Asters are in excellent condition, large
and hardy, and are bringing $3 a 100.
Some fine Chrysanthemum Asters from
Chicago were noted in several of the
stores and these sell nicely for basket
work at from $6 to $8 a 100, wholesale.
Columbia Roses are getting noticeably
smaller and the stock is not very good.
What is raised in local hothouses is bring-
ing from $2 to $5, the price having
dropped some two weeks ago.

Tuberoses, raised in large numbers
around here, are still in good shape. While
some florists still purchase their stock
from Texas, the majority of the orders
are placed in the city. The Tuberoses
are worth from $2.50 to $3 per 100 and
are used extensively in funeral work. Very
little shipping of any kind is being done
by the nurserymen out of New Orleans,
the local demand apparently taking the
bulk of the supply. The Rubber Plant
is about the only thing taking any jour-
neys right now. Most of the flowers and
plants which grow so plentifully down
here if transferred to a different climate
would be unable to stand the change. The
Radiance Rose, for instance, which is so
popular in this vicinity, would be of no
use much farther North.

Society Meeting Sunday

The New Orleans Horticultural So-
ciety_ is preparing to have an interesting
meeting Sunday afternoon at the Metairie
Ridge Nursery, when the members will
be the guests of Harry Papworth, newly
elected president of the organization. As
per the schedule planned at the last meet-
ing, when it was decided to take up a
different phase of horticulture at each
gathering, the subject of "Dahlias" will
be under discussion at that time, and
H. Dressel will talk on "Dahlia Culture."

Trade Happenings

During the week Frank J. Reyes
started work on his store which, when
finished, will show many improvements.
The display window is being doubled in
size, by building a back extension and the
back and top are being done in lattice

work. This will then be screened in, Mr.
Reyes intending to put Canary birds on
display in the window minus their cus-
tomary cages, so that they can fly about
as they choose. This should prove quite
a novel stunt and when properly arranged
will no doubt attract much attention. The
back portion of the shop which was for-
merly used for storage and is a work room,
is being made into a display room, and —
with the addition of two refrigerators —
will be turned into an inviting sales space.
The work will be completed by Sept. 15.

Charles Eble, Jr., is on a five day rest
trip somewhere in the State, expecting to
be back on the job Tuesday. Mr. Eble,
Sr., has just returned from a similar
trip.

Bob Schoek, with the Rice Supply
House, made the rounds of the local trade
here last week.

The city parking commission has an-
nounced that at its last meeting held dur-
ing the past week it secured the services
of E. A. Farley of the Gentilly Terrace
Nursery and Harry Papworth of the
Metairie Ridge Nursery, to act with Har-
old J. Neale, superintendent of Audubon
Park, as an advisory committee. At the
same meeting the commission indorsed the
levee board's plans for the erection of a
sea wall and the beautification of the
water front and it was announced that
the shrubbery for the decorations would
be supplied from the commission's nur-
sery in Gentilly.

Amateur farmers and gardeners in the
vicinity of Washington are greatly en-
couraged in their efforts by the work of

Secretary of Agriculture, who is a daily
worker in the city gardens along the
Potomac Park Speedway. Miss Wilson
has her own plot of ground, and raises
both flowers and vegetables for her own
and her friends' tables. She wisely works
early in the morning and late in the after-
noon, when the sun is not so hot, and
has as co-workers many of Washington's

All Through a Flower Pot

Recently we referred to a deplorable in-
cident wherein a resident of New York City
was shot dead by his neighbor residing in
the flat below. The upper tenant, when
watering his window plants, sprinkled the
man below, who, despite his age, 72, and
the fact that the sprinkling was accidental,
laid in wait for his neighbor and shot him
in front of his children's eyes.

The result is that the fiery old man will
most likely spend his remaining years in
prison, the sentence being eight to twenty
years. The son who was accused as an
accessory to the murder was set free.

Next Annual Convention, Chicago, III., June 1923

To Make
Why Not

the Most of "Arbor Day"
Make It "Planting Week?"

THE suggestion of ' Presi-
dent M. R. Cashman at
the recent convention of
nurserymen that Arbor Day
be made Arbor Week is
■worthy of more than passing
notice. All too frequently Ar-
bor Day conies and goes with
far less general observance
than its establishment was
intended to create in educat-
ing the public to a realization
of the value of trees and en-
couraging their being planted.
Many persons who would
willingly observe the day by
planting, notice a line in the
daily press that "this is Ar-
bor Day" and it is then too
late to prepare for it.

Here, then, is a suggestion
for nurserymen to post their
clients in advance, by letter,
advertising, or a bulletin,
just as soon as the Governor
announces the date. But this
is not done, usually, because
business is at its height at
that period, and it might
swamp digging, delivering
and planting facilities, if the
public sought service on that
one day. just as white Carna-
tions are insufficient to meet
the demand of Mother's Day.
and so the idea of the origina-
tor is not fully observed.

To meet the one day rush, t
be supplied in pots or tub:
inate the digging feature and m
output for one day's sales.

This shrub is

SPIR£A VANHOUTTEI-A VERITABLE WATERFALL OF BLOOM
ithout equal for either specimen or mass planting and its range of adaptation is almost unlimited

rees and plants could

and therefore elim-

ake possible a greater

Flowering Crab Apples, Cherries, Almonds and
Lilacs, come to mind for this . purpose. These could
lie depended upon to bloom the same season, experi-
encing no setback in transplanting as would the field
grown stock.

"Arbor Week" would be a still better solution for
distribution of this trade, but we suggest that, for
greater scope, it be known as "Plant Week" or "Plant1
ing Week." Then the allied trades seedsmen, nur-
serymen, florists and growers of any kind of plants,
could combine in advertising to "put it across."
The weekly program could be divided into daily
feat u r e s. One, say the
first, to preparation of the
soil or garden for plant-
ing; one devoted to flower
seed planting; another to
vegetable seed planting; one
to shrub planting; another td
tree planting. andtr:Still an-
other to" evergreen planting.
Rose bushes and herbaceous
perennials offer other sugges-
tions for growers of this class
of plants.

Appropriate demonstrations
of each daily feature could
be given in public places and
reports of these in the daily
press would do much to pro-
mote interest in planting and
sales for the trade.

Many persons now look
upon Arbor Day as a day on
which to give thought to the
value of conserving and per-
petuating our forests, which
is most commendable propa-
ganda, but it should be made
a more personal appeal of ex-
pecting from all who have
the ground the planting of
something, be it a tree, shrub,
evergreen, Rose bush, herba-
ceous plant or seeds of flow-
ers or vegetables.

And so with "Arbor Day"
as the nucleus, why not ab-
sorb it as one day in instituting "Planting Week," and
get the public to observe it just as they do "Clean Up
Week," "Music Week," "Artists' Week," etc., which
are now becoming popular in cities?

Samuel Newman Baxtek.

The Progress of the Publicity Campaign

The report of F. F. Rockwell for the Market Development Committee,
as presented at the A. A. N. Convention at Detroit in June

THE instructions given your Market Develop-
ment Committee a year ago were brief ; viz :
"Get the most publicity you can for the least
money" — with the emphasis on the "least money."

It was pointed out that production in this fair
country of ours had been given a great impetus in the
last two or three years ; that there would soon be
some additional millions of dollars' worth of nursery
stock to sell ; and that it would be a splendid thing
to go out and create a market for it ; for which pur-
pose $4000 was placed at our disposal — provided we
would not spend all of it. Well, we haven't spent it all.
But it does not give us as much pleasure to report
that fact, as to be able to report that we have at-
tained a very satisfactory measure of success in in-
ducing many people to join in making "America More
Beautiful and More Truthful" by giving them the
inspiration to "Plan to Plant Another Tree," as our
good friend. Jim Young, has so well put it.

Building the List of Mediums

The basis for any publicity must be the media
through which it is to be distributed. We had, to
start with, a list of a few hundred newspapers which
had previously been used in market development
work. It was rather out of date ; and the papers were
not evenly distributed over the country. Our first
task was to both increase and improve it.

In this work, we must confess, we met with unex-
pected difficulty and delay. It would seem reasonable
to expect that any nurseryman would at least take
the trouble to send in the names of ten or twelve
newspapers in his selling territory, when he was as-
sured that the Market Development Committee would
supply these papers with the publicity articles with-
out any expense or further trouble on his part.

However, it proved to be like drawing teeth to get
these lists. Repeated letters, articles and entreaties
in the trade papers and in the "Booster" covering a
period of many weeks, were necessary to get even a
fair response ; and even after all our effort, it was
not until after the Kansas City convention, that you
men. including some of the biggest firms in the coun-
try really "came across" with the list we so badly
neded. We now have a list of over 4000 newspapers,
fairly evenly distributed over the entire country as a
solid foundation on which our Market Development
is being built. If properly cultivated, it should be
worth tens of thousands of dollars to the members of
the association during the next few years.

Preparing the Material

The next step in developing a market is to provide
our batteries with the right kind of ammunition. It
is comparatively easy to get material published, but

much more difficult to get the sort of material that
will stimulate action on the part of the reader ; mere
bits of planting information will not do that.

Every article should be prepared with three things
in mind. First it should attract the reader's atten-
tion, so that he will be led to read it; second, it
should give him (or 'her) real information (even nur-
serymen cannot get something for nothing, though
they often get nothing for something) ; third, it
should create a definite desire on the part of the
reader. It should leave him with the mental resolu-
tion that sooner or later, he will possess himself of
the tree, plant or flower described.

When the latter object is accomplished that reader
is "sold :" and once he is sold, sooner or later he will
buy. It may not be until next Fall or Spring that
a nursery agent or a newly received catalog will find
him in a receptive rather than an indifferent or an-
tagonistic frame of mind.
Setting Distribution

After we have our media and prepared our ma-
terial, the next step is to get the former to use the
latter — to "get it across" as the phrase is. This is a
business or an art. in itself, no less than the produc-
tion of "preferred" nursery stock, or the, growing of
12ft. one-year, "Toppenish" Norway Maples.

The newspapers are so used to having attempts
made to "put something over" on them, that they are
suspicious of all free material, whether it has real
interest and value for their readers or not.

In order to get distribution for our publicity ma-
terial, we have used "The National Planting Service"
idea in our letterheads, etc. Someone has remarked
that the purpose of the "National Planting Service"
is to "Make America More Beautiful and the Nur-
sery Business More Fruitful." We admit it; and if

there is anyone in the room who has any
objection to either of these two most
worthy aims, we would like to hear from
him.

In sending out our material under this
heading rather than as material from the
Market Development Committee of the
A. A. U., we are not camouflaging our
work, we are merely putting our goods up
in a more attractive package. This helps
to make the first sale, but of course it can
never get a repeat order; it must as well
contain "the goods."

Our experience in the past year shows
that the press is ready, as never before, to
use material on gardening. Many of the
largest papers in the country have used
everything that has been sent out by our
service.

The papers that have been using our
articles have an average circulation of
over 5000. The articles have been sent to
over 4000 papers. Assuming that only
25 per cent of them have been used, we
have a circulation of 5,000,000 for each
article, or of about 125,000,000 for the
series.

Some of you may think this estimate
of the actual use of the article is high.
We do not believe so, but there is no way
of positively checking it up, although w-e
have done what we could in that direction.

At the beginning of the year's work, we
sent out a post card to 1500 papers on
our lists; more than 20 per cent replied.

At the end of the campaign we sent out
another letter to the entire list. Out of
the replies received over 64% per cent
said that they would like to receive the
articles again nest year, and have used the
articles already sent out.

Even discounting these returns heavily
we believe that the A. A. N. is getting
the most economical business building pub-
licity that we know of in the country.

The Cost

The Market Development Committee
has spent on this year s work, in round
figures, considerably less than $4000. This,
however, includes the expense of running
advertisements in the trade papers for
the purpose of getting new members of
the association, and also for getting out

New Jersey Nurseries Visited

The Summer meeting of the New Jer-
sey Nurserymen's Association called out
a nice attendance which included several
members of the Pennsylvania Nursery-
men's Ass'n. All gathered at Dreer's,
Kiverton, N. J., the morning of Aug. 8
and several questions of importance to
local nurserymen were discussed, includ-
ing State quarantine matters.

Business methods and financial matters
as applied to the trade came up for dis-
cussion and Pres. Fred D. Osman gave
some interesting views- on the subject.
The business part of the program ended
with lunch at the Lawn House.

The afternoon was taken up in inspect-
ing the Dreer establishment and the gov-
ernment experiment station, Riverton, and
the nursery of T. E. Steel, Palmyra.

Perm State Nurserymen's Ass'n

B. F. Barr of the Keystone Nur-
series entertained the State Nurserymen's
Association, of which he is president,
Thursday, Aug. 10.

The party arrived by machine about 10
a.m., and after an inspection of the green-
houses and the nursery connected there-
with, were taken on a trip through the
Kate Long Park, and from there to the
Boot Nurseries, at JIanheim, where a good
collection of evergreens, shrubbery and
fruit stock was inspected and favorably
commented on by the visitors.

A run was then made back to Lan-
caster, and a very delicious dinner was
served by Mine Host J. W. Fehl, at the
Rossmere Hotel, a suburban Summer hotel.

The following were at the dinner table:
Jas. N. Ruile, director of science, State
Department of Public Instruction: Ray-
mond M. Thomas and Mr. and Mrs. Chas.
L. Thomas from "King of Prussia;" Chas.
E. Thomas & wife, Wayne, Pa.; P. M.

B. H. Farr and S. G. Clousen, Reading,

Horace McFarland, Harrisburg, Pa., and
Robert Pyle. The local people were Mr.
and Mrs. B. F. Barr, Mr. and Mrs. Walter
Markley and Mr. and Mrs. A.' M. Herr.

After the dinner, a run was made
through the city to Mr. Barr's home,
Avondale Farm, and main nursery, where
a hurried inspection was made by machine
over the vast tracts of evergreens in every
known variety and every stage of growth
i from the freshly planted stock to the speci-
men trees. Quantity blocks of deciduous
shade and ornamental trees were one of
the sights, and the acres of field grown
Roses and shrubbery all gave the visitors
an idea of the vast business done by Mr.
Barr in the way of landscape gardening
and home decorations.

Coming back to the house, the ladies
went in raptures over the formal garden
and the fine old trees on the lawn, while
the men gathered sitting utensils for the
meeting on the porch.

The meeting was called to order by-
President Barr, who made a short ad-
dress of welcome, stating how pleased he
was to have such a representative gather-
ing, and called attention to the ignorance
of the general public in regard to the
value of trees and what it costs to produce
a good specimen tree. He suggested that
it would be a good plan to have moving
pictures of the development of the tree
from the seed or cutting up to the time
it is ready for sale. He also called at-
tention to the fact that there is no limit
to the possibilities of the business, as
every person has in them a born love for
trees, flowers and plants, even in child-
hood, before they can speak.

After some preliminary business, Prof.
Jas. N. Rule, director of science, Dept.
of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, Pa.,
was called on for a talk on "Training Chil-
dren How- to Know and Use Plants," an
address so full of mental food that I hope
to give it for publication in full.

Dr. J. G. Sanders, director of Bureau
of Plant Industry, Dept. of Agriculture,
Harrisburg, Pa., gave a short talk on
"What the Little Bugs May Expect from
the Big Ones," he not having been notified
that he was on the program. Compliment-
ing the crowd on their fine healthy ap-
pearance, he said be has always found
nurserymen and florists a good healthy and
educated class of people. Talking of bugs,
he considered the Japanese beetle one
of the greatest problems confronting us
right now, and while he thought the
danger from them was exaggerated, yet
we dare not minimize it. In his opinion
the danger from the Corn borer was not
"one, two, three," compared with the
Japanese beetle. His department has
tried out some 100 different combinations
of poisonous tests without any material
results, and has decided that the only
method is to get its natural enemies over
in sufficient quantities to hold them in
check, after which they will no longer
constitute a menace. There are some 1000
natural enemies of this beetle in Japan
and Corea. Prof. King is over now gather-
ing them for exportation to this country.
He also emphasized the fact that there
could be no danger to plants from these
imported insects, as no parasitic insect
is ever injurious to plants. He asked the
support of this association in getting the
State to appropriate at least $10,000 to
the department for this class of work,
and cited instances of the results they are
accomplishing, two of which showed up
high in financial value, namely, Potato
scab and Peach yellows. He also called
attention to the fact that mere letter
writing was of little value, and that to
get results representative men should be
in Harrisburg when appropriations are
being discussed.

J. Edward Moon, president of the East-
ern Nurserymen's Association, was to talk
on "Our Relations with the Eastern and
National Associations," but was unable
to be present, and deputized Mr. Rock-
well to take his place, which he did very
ably. He illustrated the shortcomings of
the national body in accomplishing certain
lines of work, and of the lack of ability
of the various State associations to get
desired results. He spoke of the neces-
sity of care being used in laying out the
jurisdiction of the sectional associations,
and cited the New England Association as
being so closely allied in their conditions
and problems with the Eastern Associa-
tion that they could easily be combined
with benefit to both, and that the two
should cooperate wherever possible. He
spoke of the need of careful stock re-
ports to avoid overproduction, which was
bound to occur where each individual was
working by himself in the dark as to
what was being produced in other parts
of his market area.

A. E. Wohlert of Narberth, Pa., was
called on to give a talk on the oppor-
tunities for the nurserymen at the
Sesqui-Centennial to be held in Phila-
delphia in 1926. Describing the pos-
sibilities offered for the advancement of
the horticultural trade in general, he
said the nurserymen and florists should
unite in an effort to get a good man at the
head of this department. He said that
the nurserymen should be prepared with
plenty of stock to make the grounds at-
tractive and advertise their business. Mr.
Wohlert was followed by Mr. MacElwee,
who corroborated his remarks and hoped
that the nurserymen would do themselves
proud on this occasion. He also spoke
in flattering terms of the grounds and
planting at the Hamilton Watch Factory
of Lancaster, and the good effect it has on
the_employees. He thought that more of
this work could be done to beautify fac-
tory surroundings.

Robert Pyle moved, and it was unani-
mously carried, that Mr. and Mrs. Barr
be given a rising vote of thanks for their
hospitality, and like vote of thanks to
Prof. Jas. N. Rule for his valuable paper.

After adjournment, refreshments were
served and a general social time enjoyed.

An All 'Round Florist

Once on a time a small town florist
placed an advertisement in one of the
trade papers for a helper. In the small
town florist's establishments, a helper has
to do many things as in most cases the
owner cannot afford a staff of specialists.

One applicant for the job was an Irish-
man. "What I w^nt," explained the
florist proprietor, "is an all 'round man,
one who understands potting, can make
cuttings, sprinkle the greenhouse, answer
the telephone, make a spray and deliver
it, run the automobile, put in the coal,

throw out the aslies, attend ' the boiler,
wait on a customer, look after the venti-
lation, handle the correspondence, dis-
bud the Chrysanthemums and, by the way,
we keep a cow that he would have to milk
and look after, and keep the place looking
tidy during his spare time."

"What!" gasped Pat, "Haven t .vou
some dirty , pots on the place?" "Why?
What has that to do with it?" asked the
employer. "Sure, 'an I could be washing
thim, too," said the Irishman. "I shall
have lots of spare time.'r

All hail, Hartford, Conn.— the florists' Mecca of 1923.

If you couldn't get to Kansas City yourself, you
can, at least be glad that there were those who at-
tended primarily to render a complete report, so that
you can keep fully informed of what went on there.
You will find the "result of their efforts in this issue
and next week's Exchange.

Did anybody, we wonder, get worried and refuse
to vote on the last of the S. A. F. amendments? You
will remember that there were thirteen of them. At
that the last of these probably stood a better show
than' it would have had there been five more. For
can you conceive— judging by what one hears on every
hand— of a congregation of American citizens voting
for another Eighteenth Amendment in these days !

The Chamber of Commerce of the United States
has published a report on the coal situation in which
it is said that the supplies have decreased to such
an extent that even were the strike to end at once,
distribution under some sort of apportionment plan
would be necessary for some time to come. The bulle-
tin then goes on to explain one such plan as devel-
oped by Mr. Hoover.

Past experiences tend to make us incredulous as
to the possibility of such a catastrophe as a national
coal famine. Let us hope that this country's re-
sources and ingenuity are sufficient to really prevent
this. At the same time let us not lose sight of the
fact that the situation, especially for districts re-
mote from the coal fields, is really serious and that
insofar as we, as units in the country's population,
can cooperate in any well organized plan to meet
the emergency. This cooperation is a duty that is
heavily incumbent upon us.

In our report of the Convention of the American
Association of Nurserymen at Detroit, we summa-
rized the report of F. F. Rockwell for the Market De-
velopment Committee. The facts he presented, and
the way in which he put them were so worth while,
however, that we are publishing his report at length
in this week's Nursery Department. This feature,
plus Mr. Chase's address which we published in the
same relative position last week, plus an article by
Secretary J. A. Young, of the Illinois Nursery Asso-
ciation on the famous slogan of which he was the
author, which Ave propose to publish next week, will
make up a group of articles that attack the same
general subject or a group of subjects, from three
different angles. Each of them is worth re-reading;
and in order to help readers appreciate their full
significance, we will probably make some more or less
extended editorial comments on the problems they
attack and the solutions they suggest in forthcoming
issues of The Exchange. We respectfully suggest
that nurserymen readers (and other readers who
have any interest in the nursery business) keep
watch for these discussions.

The Ma'k of Another Epoch

Sweeping on to further achievement, enlarged
fields, and greater possibilities, the Society of Ameri-
can Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists is lead-
ing all societies in florist and horticultural lines.
Indeed, there are but few national organizations in
any field that can successfully compete with it in
point of large, enthusiastic membership or in the
record of work accomplished. Well would it please
the leaders of 20 years ago, now gone to rest, to be
able to follow the record of their S. A. F. Perhaps
they are able to — who knows?

This year is going to mark another epoch, that is
certain. Our prediction is based on fact and on the
strength of what we have seen and heard during the
first session of the convention of 1922 as briefly re-
ported in this issue.

Florists, follow the story given here and to be con-
cluded next week, and acquaint yourselves thoroughly
with the proceedings of the organization of which,
if you are not already a member, we expect you to
become a member before this year expires. You owe
this to yourself, and no less to your honorable pro-
fession.

Recommendations — and a Condemnation

As is usually the case, one of the most significant
reports that has thus far reached us from the S. A. F.
Convention is that of its president, this year Mr.
S. S. Pennock. Hoping that we will not tread on the
toes of the committee regularly appointed to report
on this address, we are going to constitute ourselves
a committee of one to point out a few of the features
that seems to, us of particular importance.

It may be recalled that a recent Exchange editorial
spoke of the need of some practical plan for assuring
adequate funds for national publicity each year at
the time when it is necessary for the Publicity Com-
mittee to reserve space in the various media that it
proposes to use. Having admitted our temporary
inability to suggest any feasible plan, we are glad to
find President Pennock referring to and approving
the Multiple Membership Advertising proposition,
which strikes us as entirely practicable and in many
ways more desirable than the present voluntary sub-
scription plan. We will be interested in noting the
response to his suggestion along these lines.

Taken in connection with Mr. Asmus's excellent re-
port on the Flower Shows of the last few years, Mr.
Pennock's recommendation that these events be held
annually instead of every two years as formerly,
seems wholly justified. It having been proved be-
yond question that such events can be successfully
handled by cities of moderate size, the available sites
for national flower shows have greatly increased in
number, so the problem of holding a show every year
is not so much one of physical accomplishment as of
individual effort and cooperation on the part of mem-
bers in the trade. And who will say, after re-reading
Mr. Asmus's report of the way in which the emer-
gency of 1922 was met. that American florists are
not capable of winning success in this flower show
field every year, or even oftener if need be?

Some people seem to feel that when a criticism is
couched in dignified language it loses in efficiency.
We do not share this feeling, and to support our
contention we point to Mr. Pennock's comments on
recent actions of the F. H. B. in which, to put it
mildly, the Society of American Florists was belittled
and slighted. We are not sure whether there is any
precedent for an institution such as the Department
of Agriculture making public apology to a national
organization for unbecoming and unwarranted action,
but we are inclined to think that the S. A. F. is en-
titled to such an apology even though President Pen-
nock has graciously refrained from definitely demand-
ing one.

The work done in a year by the S. A. F. Executive
Committee can probably be called- prodigious. Here,
iii a word, is good reason for the approval of Presi-
dent Pennock's suggestion that it hold meetings quar-
terly, or' even oftener. We hope that arrangements
will be made so that this step may be taken to facili-
tate the performance of the important and oftentimes
complicated duties of the committee.

The reference to the difficulty with which the ma-
jority of the State vice-presidents can be gotten to
show interest in the work of the society is peculiarly
in harmony with the report of Fred A. Wilson, chair-
man of the Educational Committee (included in the
story of the convention ) . Even were a vice-president
unwilling or unable to cooperate with the president
of the society and the other vice-presidents, common
courtesy requires that he acknowledge communica-
tions dealing with society affairs. Of course while
these officers are, by the constitution, appointed by
the president,, their selection is largely in the hands
of the State organizations ; Mr. Pennock's experience

:

should, however, lead these to somehow bring about
or recommend the replacement of such vice-presidents
as consistently fail to show any readiness to bear
their share of responsibility.

Standardization of trade practices is a subject much
in the public ey"e at present and horticulturists are
not failing to give to it the attention that it war-
rants. President Pennock calls attention, however,
to a somewhat new phase of this subject in his recom-
mendations with regard to the employment of an ex-
pert public accountant in connection with the opera- I
tion of the new financial budget system which has ,
already proved successful. This attempt to standard-
ize the practice of accounting in the florist business '
is a timely and worthy one. The address on this
subject contributed to the convention by Mr. Spang-
ler gives one plenty to think about and produces ad-
ditional reason for endeavoring to get a thorough and
effective system of standardized accounting under
way at the earliest opportunity.

Having enjoyed the privilege of "telling the world"
about "The Garden Beautiful." The Exchange isj
naturally delighted to find President Pennock urg-
ing the extension of "The Garden Beautiful" idea to
include other corrective institutions in other States
than California. After all, a national organization
such as the S. A. F. need not, and indeed should not,
restrict itself solely to matters affecting the material
welfare of its members. The bigger, the more impor-
tant, the more effective such an organization becomes,
the greater, we feel, is its duty towards society and
humanity in general. President Pennock, in empha-
sizing the aims and objectives of "The Garden Beauti-
ful" campaign, has pointed out a legitimate ana
thoroughly worthy field in which the S. A. F. can dis-
charge part of its responsibilities in this larger rela-
tionship.

Last year there was produced in New York City an
interesting, timely, clever play eintitled, "To the
Ladies." Its theme was. in brief, an appreciation
of the role that the fair sex plays in keeping the
wheels of progress in motion, even though it may
oftentimes be that of a silent partner. Striking this
same note, Mr. Pennock goes even a little further in
suggesting that the ladies be given opportunity to
help direct the destinies of the S. A. F. through repre-
sentation on the board of directors. There is no
need to ask whether women are qualified to discuss
or handle matters that affect the florist industry;
there are too many of them already prominent in the
trade throughout the country to make possible more
than one answer. Is there, then, any reason why
their skill, ingenuity, executive ability, and good
judgment should not receive recommendation ana
be given opportunity to serve the trade through the

medium of the S. A. F.?

* * * * *

Ladies and gentlemen, irrespective of what any-
body else says or thinks, we move the unanimous ,
adoption of Pres. Pennock's report together with pas-
sage of a unanimous vote of approval thereof.

Wholesale Dahlia Growers Association

Some fourteen members of this association met at
the Pennsylvania Hotel, New York City, on Monday, I
Aug. 14, for the purpose of discussing various prob-|
lems.

The morning session was more or less informal, sev-;
eral subjects being discussed in a general way.

President J. K. Alexander was not present at the
afternoon session, but he was ably represented by
his son, who brought forward the subject of price
agreement. This subject took up considerable time,
the various standard lists of Dahlias being considered.

All present appeared to be fairly well agreed as
to the wholesale prices of the various sorts ; there is
no arbitrary fixing of prices, but among the mem-c
bers of the association, there is to be a general agree-
ment. Growers controlling large stocks of certain
sorts are given priority; the price he desires to sell
at wholesale being accepted as the one to rule among
the members. Generally speaking, these prices are
based on production costs, and the agreements de-,
cided upon are for the purpose of preventing loss on1
surplus stocks.

Members of the trade who desire to get in touch
with this association should write Secretary N. A.
Hallauer, Ontario, N. Y., who will furnish any in-
formation desired. Many of the members of this
association are large growers of cut flowers and they
aim at the total elimination of unprofitable varieties.

American Rose Society

In reference to the Rose. Eureka, registered by The
American Rose Society on account of this name hav-
ing been used by Hobbie, Ltd., of England in 1914.

This registration is therefore temporarily with-i
drawn pending the renaming of the Rose.

Grading of Cut Flowers

At the quarterly meeting of our board of directors
held on Friday, Aug. 4, the following resolutions were
unanimously passed on the grading of cut flowers.
The secretary was instructed to send a copy of these
resolutions to the florists' magazines, to all branch
organizations of the National Flower Growers Asso-
ciation and to all florists clubs, the S. A. F. and the
F. T. D., so that they can be discussed and acted
upon at the next annual meeting of these organiza-
tions a year hence.

Praise for Forced Draft Heating

Thomas Berry, of Berry-Gibson. Detroit, Mich., has
sent us the following letter from a grower friend in
the same city, as to the merits of a new, recently
installed heating system. It will doubtless prove in-
teresting to our readers, as it has to us ; and we shall
hope to supplement this expression of opinion with
further details about the system.

Dear Tom :

I am very glad you came over Tuesday to see
the heating tests we made for I believe I have
solved the fuel problem.

For the hist 25 years I have had different
kinds of boilers. Last Winter I put in the oil-
burning system, but I never had what I consid-
ered even a reasonably good heating plant until
my attention was called to this forced draft sys-
tem.

Last Winter my coal cost me $7.50 per ton.
This year the best price I could get was $10 per
ton, but with this system I can burn, with equally
good results, the lowest grade coal and I have
already put in 50 tons of hard coal screenings at
$3, or a saving of $7. It was with these screen- •
ings and coke breeze that the wonderful tests
which so appealed to the florists who were pres-
ent, were made.

This system is not an experiment, for it. has
been working under severe scrutiny at the Uni-
versity of Detroit for the last eight months. That
institution's coal cost $4000 for last Winter,
whereas they now have in their entire supply
for the coming Winter at a cost of $600.

This system consists of a series of patented
air-introduction grates which are stationary over
an air-tight ash-pit, which is connected by a gal-
vanized pipe to a motor and blower. In this iron
pipe is a shut-off gauge which works automati-
cally with a diaphram on the boiler absolutely
controlling the fire. It is far more easily worked ;
the grates cannot burn out because they are air-
proof; and there is little or no chance for any-,
thing to get out of order.

I have a five-year guarantee on this equipment.

The best points of this system are: that I can
get up steam in half the time ; that it burns 100
per cent of the carbon in the coal ; that it burns

the coal to an ash, then clinkers the ash; and
the clinkers are easily removed.

Tests at the University of Detroit prove that a
ton of screenings with this system gives returns
equal to a ton of high priced coal with the old
system.

I believe this is a great thing for the florists
and I will be glad to show mine to anyone inter-
ested.

Six of the boys who attended the tests are mak-
ing arrangements to install this system.
Yours truly,

Geo. Davis.

Vegetable Growers Association of America

Judging by the program, which occupies a full
page of the current Market Growers Journal, the
convention of the V. G. A. of A. to be held at Indian-
apolis, Aug. 22 to 25, is going to be one large and
interesting event. The time schedule for addresses,
etc., is worked out almost on a fifteen minute basis,
and the list of names of those who are to speak, or
to lead the informal discussions, is full warrant that,
there are generous benefits in store for all who find
it possible to attend. Of course, we can speak only
from hearsay of the hospitality and vigor of the rep-
resentatives of the vegetable growing industry in and
around Indianapolis ; but we florists have mighty
good reason to know something of the hospitality and
enthusiasm of the atmosphere of Indianapolis in gen-
eral, so here, too, is a reason for believing that the
vegetable growers' convention will be thoroughly suc-
cessful and entirely worth while. Why not stop off
there on your way back from Kansas City?

More About Home Grown Spiraeas

Last week we published a communication from the
Robert Craig Co. setting forth its experiences in rais-
ing herbaceous Spirajas to take the place of foreign
stock now excluded by Qu. 37. Herewith we present
another significant report on this same subject from
A. L. Miller, Jamaica, N. Y., who says :

"You ask particularly about herbaceous Spiroea.
Last year marked our first attempt to force these
since Qu, 37 went into effect and, of course, we had
to buy home grown stock. I bought Gladstone and
America and paid $40 per 100 as against the $125
per 1000, which we used to pay for the extra selected
high grade stock from Holland laid clown in New
York City. Those clumps upon arrival invariably
looked to be in excellent condition and produced about
05 per cent of choice salable plants.

"In the home grown Gladstone stock we bought last
year, we had about 75 per cent inferior material so
that, absolutely, we did not realize any profit. The
domestic Americas were as fine as any we have ever
imported, (but the price was three times as high as
the foreign stock used to cost us.

"We also forced Avalanche, Peach Blossom and
Alexandra procured from another source. I had no
complaint to make as to the health and strength of
the clumps, but for some reason they did not pro-
duce enough flowers to permit us to realize a profit."

Gilbert Hicks

Gilbert Hicks, well-known nurseryman of West-
bury, L. I., N. Y., died Thursday night, Aug. 10, in
his 84th year. He was a native of Westbury and
with his brothers Isaac and Edward organized the
Hicks Nursery. He published the catalog of the
firm, but retired from active work some years ago.
The business is now carried on by Henry and Edward
Hicks, his nephews. Funeral services were held in
the Quaker Church at Westbury, Saturday, and inter-
ment was made in the Quaker Cemetery.

Mrs. Henry J. Schrade

Following a week's illness with pneumonia, Mrs.
Louisa Pauline, wife of Henry J. Schrade, florist,
Saratoga Springs, N. Y., died at the family residence,
110 Nelson ave., July 28, in her forty-ninth year.
Mrs. Schrade's fatal illness is attributed to develop-
ments from a cold she contracted on the night of
Monday, July 17, when she left the house scantily
clad, at the time her son, Henry G. Schrade, was at-
tacked by two men while walking through the yard.

Born in Neu'hofen, Germany, Mrs. Schrade, then
Miss Mohr, came to this country and to Saratoga
Springs 29 years ago. Here she met Mr. Schrade and
they were married the year after her arrival.

During the greater part of her residence in this
city, Mrs. Schrade was actively associated with her
husband in the florist business and for the past four-
teen years she was in charge of the Broadway store.
Mrs. Schrade came in contact with a great many
Saratogians to whom she was very well and favor-
ably known.

She was a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church.

Besides her husband, she is survived by one daugh-
ter, Louise E. Schrade; three sons, Henry G., William
T., and Karl H. Schrade, all of this city; four sisters
and three brothers to whom the sincere sympathy of
the trade is tendered.

The Florists' Exchange

New England Gladiolus Society

Annual Show, Boston, Aug. 12 and 13

The annual Gladiolus Exhibition of the New Eng-
land Gladiolus Society was held in Horticultural Hall,
Boston, Mass., Aug. 12-13 in conjunction with the an-
nual Gladiolus show of the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society.

Predictions and expectations are very often the
reverse of realization and the former, generally, fell
far short of the latter. It is therefore a most pleas-
ing experience to record an instance where all pre-
dictions and expectations have been greatly outdis-
tanced. Last year's show, grand as it was. was totally
overshadowed by this year's event and it is hard to
imagine that a better exhibition of Gladioli can ever
materialize.

The shows of both societies were staged and man-
aged almost to perfection ; the judging and labeling
found universal approval, even if on the first day
an uninterrupted drizzle promised to keep away many
visitors. The attendance was most gratifying and,
on Sunday, the second day of the show, superseded
that of any former occasion.

There were an unprecedented number of exhibitors
who contested almost every class hotly ; many classes
had from three to a dozen or more entries. The man-
agers of the show had to use all their wisdom and
ingenuity to make room for all the material brought
to the big halls, which were filled to capacity, includ-
ing entrances and lobbies. James Wheeler, who had
charge of the arrangements, deserves great credit for
his untiring labor, pleasant way of giving help and
advice to those who needed it. Every vase, urn and
other receptacle, fit to hold flowers, was dragged forth
and put to use and, although the number of such re-
ceptacles at Horticultural Hall is almost unlimited,
hardly enough could be found.

Thanks to a most congenial growing season for
Gladioli, the displays of flowers were of super-fine
quality all through. Gloriously colored flowers of
immense size and on grand spikes were the rule and
the number of varieties exhibited was almost endless.
The ruffled section and also the many classes of Primu-
linus Gladioli were well represented and filled and
of seedlings there was no end.

A Few of the Best

When all varieties are shown at their very best
and when the choice of varieties is almost without
limit, it is a ticklish and generally thankless under-
taking to mention separate varieties as the best. The
following may, in a way, be considered as having at-
tracted the most general attention of the pub-
lic: Pink Wonder, White Wonder, Anna Iberius,
Early Snowflake, Mrs. Dr. Norton, Schwaben, Albania,
Europa, Gold, Pendleton, Dawn, Herada, Myrtle, Alice
Tiplady, Panama, Mary Fennell, Willy Wigman, Eve-
lyn Kirtland, America, Le Marechal Foch, Baron J.
Hulot, Loveliness, Diener's Masterpiece, Lily White.

If any adverse criticism is to be made, and in this
case it is advisable to make it, as it is also well de-
served, it concerns the exhibits of baskets, 10 spikes,
any three varieties, in harmonious combination, any

foliage. Those that took first and second prize were
very good, especially the first named, from James
Wheeler, Natick, which was a gilded one and filled
with three choice varieties of excellent flowers and
carefully arranged. Louis Vasseur, who was second,
also showed a handsome basket. The other four en-
tries had nothing to recommend them. Some sort of
Gladioli stuffed in some sort of way into some sort of
a basket and that was all. Who ever made those
things should try to do better some other time.

The main hall was given over entirely to the ex-
hibits by the New England Gladiolus Society, which
filled it to the last inch. The one and three variety
classes were magnificent, and provided some of the
finest spikes. They embraced all the various types
and colors.

A. L. Stephen, Waban, Mass. ; Saunders Gardens,
Scituate, R. I. ; Sherman A. Swift, Woburn, Mass. ;
E. P. Hawes, Roslindale, Mass. ; S. Irving Moody.
Brockton, Mass. ; Charles Fairbanks ; E. S. Everett,
Winchester, Mass. ; Edgar W. Darling, New Bedford,
Mass., and Max Paulson, Danversford, Mass., were
among the leading winners in the open classes.

The best collection Primulinus Hybrids, three spikes
each, cash prize and the society's silver medal went
to Chas. F. Fairbanks with 30 fine varieties. Second
prize and bronze medal, S. Irving Moody. Also a won-
derfully choice collection.

The specials offered by Richard Diener, California ;
R. E. Huntington Co., Painesville, O. ; J. A. Kemp,
Little Silver, N. J., and A. E. Kunderd. Goshen, Iud.,
all brought the fiercest competition. C. F. Fair-
banks won first for both 50 and 35 Kunderd varie-
ties.

With one spike, best seedling, A. L. Stephens won
the society's silver medal with a grand orange salmon.

The amateur classes open to amateurs growing less
than 2500 bulbs, were all keenly contested.

Thomas Cogger, Melrose, Mass., the well known
seedling raiser, occupied a large space at the end of
the main hall, which he filled with a select display
of his latest creations. Mrs. L. S. McLeod is one of
his very best and was featured in the Boston Trans-
cript on the first day of the show in a large cut. This
variety was exhibited here last year and received
honorable mention. Elizabeth R. Laible is another
excellent and promising seedling, opening up to 6in.
Mr. Cogger also exhibited a notable collection of his
Prrmulinusl seedlings and some 75 varieties of
Dahlia seedlings and commercial sorts. What was
considered the best and finest decorative basket of
Gladioli in the hall, was contributed by Mr. Cogger,
who was awarded a silver. medal for it. This basket
was filled with grand spikes of Gladioli American
Beauty and was universally admired.

Near Mr. Cogger's display was the large and inter-
esting collection of Gladioli seedlings from J. A.
Kemp, Little Silver, N. J., . together with a new
origination of Dahlias. Among the Gladioli, as well
as among the Dahlias, were many gems. The fine
displays of seedlings and standard Gladioli from
E. P. Hawes, Roslindale, Mass. ; B. & A. Norley, same
town ; C. W. Brown, Ashland, Mass. ; S. E. Spencer,
Woburn, Mass., all showed superb collections. An-
other large space was taken up by F. O. Shepardson,
who was a successful competitor in many of the
classes.

The Massachusetts Horticultural Society Display

The exhibits of the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society were well shown in the large lecture hall
and were distinguished by the wealth of varieties and
the extraordinary quality of flowers. About every
class here, also, had a number of lively competitors,
so that it constituted a real honor to land a first prize.
The same exhibitors were largely prominent.

The best collection of 25 named varieties, three
spikes each, cash prize and New England Gladiolus
Society Silver Challenge Trophy, came from A. L.
Stephen, with a grand, clean display that would be
hard to beat anywhere at any time. The same ex-
hibitor scored with not less than 50 named varieties,
winning the silver medal.

Robert Hutcheon, Stoughton, Mass., exhibited six
large vases of excellent mixed varieties, not for
competition; Stanley Thorpe, Medway, Mass., and
Thomas Proctor, Wrentham, Mass., also filled large
spaces with hundreds of vases containing the cream
of varieties, not for competition. E. W. Darling was
another exhibitor of fine flowers in 25 large vases.

Henry R. Comley of Park street, Boston, exhibited
one of the handsomest baskets of yellow Gladioli
and Oak leaves.

Miss Marian R. Case, Weston, Mass., had a neat
looking arrangement of Blue Lace Flower and Hun-
nemania Poppies in a handsome basket receiving for
it honorable mention.

Special Trade Displays

In the lecture hall there were some grand displays
on a large scale of hardy Phloxes and other peren-
nial flowers. The Bay State Nurseries of North
Abington, Mass., exhibited 75 varieties of hardy flow-
ers, in addition to over 50- varieties of perennial
Phloxes. The display filled two sides in the room,
besides two long tables, and contained a general
collection of the most useful, finest and showiest
varieties. Many of the firm's novelties were also in-
cluded in the collection and the interesting exhibit
was greatly admired by thousands, many of whom
asked questions and took notes. The exhibit of Phlox
especially attracted a good deal of attention, as did
also the very large and beautiful exhibit of Phloxes
from T. C. Thurlow's Sons, West Newbury, Mass.,
which filled several large tables. The Bay State Nur-
series were awarded first on general display of
Phloxes; also a silver medal for splendid exhibit of
hardy perennial flowers.

Several noteworthy Dahlias and large exhibits of
Dahlias contributed considerably to make the halls
interesting after one had become somewhat surfeited
with the galaxy of Gladioli blooms. According to
what one could observe and hear about Dahlias, it
looks now as if the Dahlia exhibition next month
would be a lively competitor of the present Gladioli
show, as far as numbers of entries and excellence of
quality are concerned. The Dahlia show is, more-
over, always a favorite show with the public and never
is it held without attracting a very good attendance.
Have-a-look Gardens of South Billerica, Mass.,
showed many of the latest sorts mostly in the Hybrid
Cactus and Hybrid Decorative sections. A much
larger number will be shown at the coming Dahlia
exhibition, Sept. 10-11. Have-a-look Gardens also
made a fine display of fancy Gladioli and had some
handsome arrangements of the same in baskets, some
combined with Delphiniums and other flowers.

T. H. Hughes, New Bedford, Mass., also had a fine
exhibit of seedling and standard Dahlias. These were
in the upper lobby and filled one whole side of it.
A handsome decoration for the upper lobby was con-
structed by Loren D. Towle. It consisted of a 10ft.
column of Asparagus foliage in which hundreds of
seedling Gladioli were tastefully arranged. Near the
base there was a solid ring of white Gladioli and at
the very foot of the column, a border of small "Teddy"
ferns in pots.

A large round table held a display of Gloxinias of
a superior strain and well grown. They were the
property of Seth A. Borden, Fall River, Mass.

B. Hammond Tracy, the celebrated Gladioli grower
of Wenham, Mass., lectured on the culture of Gla-
dlioli, Saturday and Sunday at 3 p.m. to large and
interested audiences.

The business meeting of the New England Gladioli
Society has been postponed until later in the season.
Visitors from afar included A. C. Earnshaw, presi-
dent of Bon-Arbor Co., Paterson, N. J. ; Thomas A.
Havemeyer, New York, N. Y. ; Seth A. Borden, Fall
River, Mass. ; Thomas Leavitt, president New England
Dahlia Society; H. E. Jenks, Worcester, Mass.

Our Trade Exhibitions

Tije trade exhibitions form an important part of the
society's administrative work. At our convention and
National Flower Shows they seem to bring all
branches of the trade together, and in themselves
are expositions of the advancement of our industry.
A great deal of effort is necessary to properly stage
one of these trade exhibitions, but the society is to be
congratulated upon the fact that every one so far
attempted has proved a success and yielded a hand-
some profit. The trade exhibition in Kansas City this
year is no exception, being successful from every point
of view. As will have been noticed in the official
.program for the convention a morning business ses-
sion on the first day was abandoned in order that
additional time might be afforded for inspection of
the various exhibits in the trade exhibition.

Fifth National Flower Show

The Fifth National Flower Show, held in Indian-
apolis last March, went down into history as an-
other great success for the society. In spite of diffi-
culties, which at one time appeared to be insurmount-
able, and which eventually, within a few weeks of
the date fixed for the opening, necessitated the
changing of location from Cleveland to Indianapolis
the show was staged to advantage, with the results
we all know. A full report will be forthcoming at a
later session, so I need not go further into details.

The Publicity Campaign

The Publicity Campaign has been in active progress
throughout the year, and Spring saw a resumption
of the magazine advertising which has been instru-
mental in putting the slogan, "Say it with Flowers"
before the public in such a way as to make its estab-
lishment of a permanent character as long as the
florists do their part in the way of furnishing the
necessary funds. I believe that many florists are
willing to continue their pledges indefinitely with
this end m view, and it is hoped that all others will
look at the campaign in the same light and support
it V!1?. "?est of thei1' at)ility. A detailed report of
the lubricity Committee's work will be presented at
a subsequent session.

Service of the Trade Papers

Again your secretary must acknowledge the excel-
lent aid rendered him in his work by the trade papers.
In the twelve months just passed they have given
many columns of valuable space to our announce-
ments and publicity matter, a courtesy for which
every one of us should feel indebted, and for which,
I am sure, the papers have the 'hearty thanks of the
society.

On motion of Mr. Otis the above report was ap-
proved as read.

On motion of Irwin Bertermann the report of the
treasurer (to be published later) was accepted and
made part of the record.

Report of National Councillor

J. C. Vaughan as national councillor for the S. A. F.
in the Chamber of Commerce, reported as follows:
"The activities of your representative in this depart-
ment in the United States Chamber of Commerce at
Washington have not yet covered one yearly period.
Therefore, the definite possibilities which your mem-
bership in this association holds for us is not clearly
known or secured.

"Some of the broad lines of work of the National
Chamber that touch us closely are: Considerations
of tariff matters, forestry policies, activities against
tendencies of Congress to enact measures injecting
the Government into fields of private business, ad-
justment of commercial disputes by arbitration in
domestic as well as foreign transactions, and closer
relations between the United States Secretary of
Commerce and representative business organizations.

"An active office force in this section is maintained
continually in Washington with Chancey D. Snow,
as manager. Mr. Snow wrote us on July 25 that the
Importing difficulties of our membership will have
the impartial consideration of the National Cham-
ber's foreign commerce department committee, as

well as the information regarding the procedure to
be followed in considering this matter in Washing-
ton. Mr. Snow adds : 'If our committee acts on this
matter, it will act quite independently on the basis of
information available to it. In any event you need
have no misgivings as to the possibility of dictation
of the committee's attitude on the part of Dr. Marlatt
or any of his associates?

"The action taken by the Chamber regarding tariff
questions was by referendum vote. In this vote,
taken from all the members of the Chamber, there
was no two-thirds majority either for or against the
postponement of tariff revision or for or against the
American or foreign valuation plan. Therefore, no
recommendation was made to Congress. The referen-
dum did favor, however, the possibility of adjustable
rates, which has been incorporated in the Senate
Finance Committee bill, but without provision for the
board for the administration of such rates. Both
Houses of Congress have recognized some of the prin-
ciples which the Chamber advocates.

"In conclusion, it is your counciller's opinion, that
with the rounding out of the year's service, and a
clearer knowledge than we now have of the exact
ways in which our organization can cooperate, we
will get some real effective service through our con-
nection with the Chamber. Resolutions which cover
the needs of certain business organizations like our
own must be prepared and presented to the general
committee on resolutions not less than six weeks
prior to the annual meeting of the Chamber which
usually takes place in Washington in May.

"Your councillor would suggest that a committee
of not less than three, one of them ibeing your regular
councillor, meet at the time of your regular executive
board committee meeting for the purpose of consider-
ing carefully those lines of activity now prevailing
in the Chamber of Commerce, with a view to present-
ing definitely and strongly our needs in the shape
of a resolution or resolutions to be presented at the
annual meeting in May."

On formal motion, the report of the national coun-
cillor was accepted.

Report of the Washington Representative

By Wm. F. Gude, Washington, D. C.

The past year, as usual, has been a busy one for
your Washington representative. Several bills of more
or less importance to the florists' business in general
were introduced in the United States Congress. The
first of these, H.R. 8441, read as follows :

"A bill relating to special delivery of mail matter.

"Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives of the United States of America in Con-
gress assembled, That the Postmaster General is
hereby authorized, in his discretion, to restrict the ■
application of the special delivery stamp or equiva-
lent stamps and the special service rendered in con- |
nection therewith to mail matter of the first class."

This bill was introduced Sept. 24, 1921, but was
not referred to the House Calendar until Nov. 15.
Your representative immediately got busy and sent
the following letter to the six trade papers in the
United States and Canada. Needless to say they all
published it, and the results speak for themselves.

"Dear Sir:

"On Nov. 15, 1921 the enclosed bill was introduced
in the Congress of the United States, and reported
favorably by the Interstate Commerce Commission.

"This would either mean that the thousands of
people who receive packages from the florists daily
by special delivery parcel post, would be denied the
privilege of the mail or we would have to get a special
privilege. Don't you think it wise to have every flo-
rist in the United States to write his Congressman
not to disturb the special delivery business which the
florists and druggists now enjoy? To say nothing of
the other interest which we are not interested in?

"I hope you will find space in your valuable paper
to give this wide publicity."

Floral Tributes on Important Occasions

Your Washington representative assumed the re-
sponsibility of sending to the United States Capitol
Building on Armistice Day a floral wreath in honor
of the Unknown Soldier with a ribbon with "The
Society of American Florists and Ornamental Horti-
culturists" inscribed upon it in gold letters. Again
on the opening day of the Peace Conference, which
was an international event, we sent a handsome bas-
ket of American Beauty Roses with the following in- i
scripition : "In the name of the Society of American
Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists we present
these flowers to the Limitation of Arms Conference
as a symbolic expression of our hope for a firm foun-
dation of everlasting peace among nations."

Trade Success, the Tariff, etc.

The year as a whole has been a prosperous one
among florists and we are to be congratulated on

I

August 19, 11122

The Florists' Exchange

having recorded fewer failures than other industries
similarly situated. Locally there has been some
building, several new florist firms having been formed.
The future looks bright and prosperous for both the
wholesalers and retailers.

The tariff question is with us and has been for
two years, and no one seems to know what the final
outcome will be. We have been watching it all the
time and whenever a new point conies up affecting
floriculture or horticulture we have been active in
trying to secure the passage of a bill that will insure
the greatest good to the greatest number of florists
and horticulturists.

Mr. Gude then took up Qu. 87, quoting from HB-
152. a recent publication of the F. H. B.. and giving
in its entirety the report on the May 15 conference
as rendered by the special advisory committee named
by Secretary Wallace. On the strength of this ma-
terial he then stated that it may be "noted from the
above that there are quite as many, if not more, flo-
rists in favor of Qu. 37 as are opposed to it."

The Washington office of your representative has
been a busy one during the past year, no less than
341 florists having registered at this office. All, so
far as we know, have been made welcome and given
the glad hand of fellowship. The number of communi-
cations received from the Department of Agriculture
alone aggregate 110 and this does not include the
pamphlet of 42 pages received June 30.

Members of the National Rose Society met as usual
in Washington. June 1. to inspect the Test Gardens
ait Arlington Farms. Va. The Rose Garden is coming
along finely, although there is a feeling on the part
of some people that greater progress could be made.
We feel that these people are losing sight of the fact
that this is a test garden and not a show garden. The
Show Garden, which is located in Potomac Park be-
tween the highway bridges, is progressing rapidly,
and was last year seen by tens of thousands of visi-
tors. Your representative himself saw Roses in bloom
there as late as the month of November.

Report ofijthe Tariff and Legislative Committee

Submitted by, and in His Absence Read for,
James McHutchison, Chairman

The past year has been a busy one for your Tariff
and Legislation Committee. Congress is struggling
with and for a new Tariff Bill, the Federal Horti-
cultural Board is revamping Qu. 37. and there has
been much correspondence and many conferences on
matters such as freight and express rates, taxation,
etc.

Tariff. — The Tariff Bill as passed by the House
last Summer was not acceptable to our organization.
The duties were too high on some items and lower
than necessary on others, while the phraseology was
loose and indefinite; so we took measures to have
changes made in the Senate. In July we appealed be-
fore the V. S. Tariff Commission and in August Wm.
F. Gude and myself appeared before the Senate Fi-
nance Committee, the result being that our recom
mendations are embodied in the Tariff Bill now be-
fore the Senate for action. The new duty rates show
a considerable increase over the present ones, but as
the schedule has been published in the trade papers.
1 need not repeat them here.

Taxation on Growing Crops. — Some of our members,
particularly in Connecticut and Rhode Island, have
had trouble with local tax assessors on this subject,
and while the committee cannot help contest such
cases, I suggest that the Executive Committee direct
the secretary in behalf of the organization, to give
what backing lie can to those affected.

Plant Quarantine Conference. — On May 15 your
committee attended this conference, which was called
by the Federal Horticultural Board for the purpose
of discussing Regulation 3 of Quarantine 37. Since
the principal objection to Qu. 37 is that it operates
as a blanket economic embargo and is not a legal

I quarantine as authorized by the Plant Quarantine
Act of 1912, we took the strong and legal position
j that it should be lifted and economic protection be
given by the Tariff and not by the F. H. B., protec-
tion from pests to be covered by legal quarantines.
No other position is tenable in view of the diversi-
fied interests of the members of the organization, or
in law. Our statement was reported fully by the

(trade papers at the time, so I need not repeat it here.
While Qu. 37 has undoubtedly benefited some of
our growers by giving them economic protection and
enabling them to get high prices for their products,
it works against the great majority by compelling
others to pay these prices for items formerly im-
ported or for other items grown in their place. It
also has resulted in the prices of the seven items still
allowed entry, namely, Valley pips, Dutch bulbs, Lily
bulbs, French bulbs and Rose stocks, being raised
until their delivered cost is now almost prohibitive.
For Qu. 37 centralized the consumption demand on
these seven items without increasing their production.

In the heavy work of the past year, every member
of this committee has given me unstinted support
and regardless of his personal interests has sacrificed
and worked unselfishly for the general welfare. My
heartiest thanks go to every one of them.

Report of the Committee on the Development
of American Products

By F. R. Pierson, Chairman

In regard to the development of American products,
your committee would infer from all the information
that it lias been able to gather that only the first
steps have been taken in regard to plants original-
ly imported from foreign lands. We have substi-
tuted other plants to take their place as far as pos-
sible, but not much progress has yet been made in
the growing of the plants for commercial quantities,
of which we have heretofore depended upon Europe,
such as Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Boxwood, etc. So
far as we have been able to learn, only a beginning
has been made in growing these plants which have
heretofore been considered indispensable. In order
to make its report more comprehensive, the committee
was enlarged last year so that it might cover the
extreme West and middle-West, as well as the eastern
sections of our country.

Activities in California

Roy F. Wilcox, a member of our committee repre-
senting Southern California, states that during the
past few years there has been much development in
horticultural production and that large investments
are being made in that section. One of the largest in-
dustries that has recently been developed on the
Pacific Coast is the growing of Kentia palms. At
present there are about one and a quarter million In
the course of development at Sierra Madre and Mon-
tebello and large additional investments are being
made every year to prepare for a complete rotation.
Six years are necessary to produce a marketable crop.
Rose growing here has also taken a great leap and
there are approximately six to seven million Rose
plants now being grown in Los Angeles, Hemet and
San Jose. Fruit stocks are also being grown exten-
sively, one firm alone in the northern part of the State
producing about eight million. Many are grown in
other localities, increasing this total greatly. At
Eureka 150,000 Azaleas are now being grown and
within a short time there will lie a quantity of these
available for sale. Rhododendrons are also being
'grown and Boxwood is being grown extensively, be-
sides Erics, Aspidistras, .etc. Certain bulbs also luxu-
riate in Southern California, such as Freesias, minia-
ture Gladioli, Spanish Iris, Iris tingitana, tuberous
Begonias and many others. California is already pro-
ducing a great many valuable florists' plants and in
time they will be more largely produced. Mr. Wilcox
states that he will exhibit some specimen Boxwood
and other stock and illustrations of different develop-
ments throughout that part of the country, which no
doubt will be of interest to those attending the con-
vention.

Reports from Tennessee and Texas

Charles Bauni reports from Tennessee that that
section is producing some very fine stock in the way
of Lily bulbs (including Lilium candidum and other
varieties), also Gladioli, Tulips and Narcissi, with the
exception of the tender varieties such as the Paper-
whites which, however, are being grown extensively
further South. He understands that down in Louisi-
ana and Texas Paperwhites are making finer bulbs
than the stock imported from France. Gladioli luxuri-
ate in this section and it would seem that a good
many of the Lilies, especially the black stem gigan-
teum. can be grown successfully here. Some of the
important varieties of Lilium such as regale, specio-
sum and the black stem giganteum seem to thrive in
this locality, particularly in the higher altitudes,
where they grow very luxuriantly and thus far prom-
ise to prove successful. Some firms are growing large
stocks of the Indian Azaleas as well as the hardy
varieties, such as mollis and the Japanese sorts, which
promise to be commercially successful.

More Time and Latitude Needed for Real Results

Edward B. George, committee member from Ohio,
reports that it will be impossible to say anything
further than that preliminary steps have been taken
in developing stocks of Rose budding or grafting ma-
terial and fruit budding material ; and that same
would apply also to Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Box-
wood and Araucarias. True, there are several plant-
ings of the items in question, and reports from the
State of Washington show that they are making prog-
ress there with fruit trees and Norway Maple seed-
lings. From the South and a few points in the East
and from California, success is in sight in the propa-
gation of Manetti. When one considers the vast quan-

tities of all these items needed to cover anywhere
near the demand, it is all the more evident that we
must have more latitude and more time. Mr. George
also states that from information he has been able
to gather and from knowledge at hand, the last year
shows progress in the development of horticultural
products, but he thinks that we are only at the be-
ginning.

In the East Hybrid Tea Roses are being more and
more extensively budded and grown and the quality is
as good as, if not better than, what we previously
secured from abroad. Also these are being grown in
sufficient quality to meet the demand. Seedling or-
chids are being developed, but it will be a long time
before these will be commercially available, and in
the meantime, we shall suffer from the absence of
collected material. As to just how soon the hybrid
orchids that are being grown will be available com-
mercially, there is a difference of opinion.

Azaleas are being grown, particularly some of the
new Japanese varieties, which promise eventual suc-
cess, but they are not in large enough supply to be an
important commercial factor. Just what can be done
along this line, particularly with the Indian Azaleas,
reamins to be seen. The Japanese varieties are al-
ready being considerably grown and used. What-
ever has been done so far has been done through local
initiative and as a result of the enterprise of dif-
ferent individuals and Arms.

The work that has been done so far has been along
the lines of least resistance and the propagation of
material that is the most easily grown. We find the
nurserymen and florists growing the same line of
stock as they have been growing, while the rare va-
rieties that are difficult to grow are left alone be-
cause of the lack of time and care required in handling
them.

Government Should Investigate and Foster Work

In view of the fact that the Agricultural Depart-
ment through the Federal Horticultural Board and
its operation of Quarantine 37 deprived us suddenly
of many plants that we had learned to consider as
necessities, we believe that this Department should
organize a constructive campaign of experimental
work in different parts of the country in a broad and
comprehensive way, which the individual and the
average business man will, or could, not attempt. As
we are deprived of many valuable plants that we have
heretofore imported, it certainly behooves the Agricul-
tural Department of the country to devote its energies
to the development of large horticultural interests
which they should be able to do much better than
the individual.

Tour committee would welcome any information that
any members may have at this time as to what
has been accomplished in their locality and what has
come under their own observation anywhere.

School Garden Report for 1922

For the School Garden Committee (Benj. Ham-
mond, chairman, Michael Barker, Leonard Barron,
Irwin Bertei'inann and A. T. De La Mare) the chair-
man reported as follows :

The work of the School Garden Committee has been
continued so that It has stirred up interest in this work
of youthful industry from ocean to ocean. Our illus-
trated reminders have been sent in the early Spring to
every school board or trustee in towns where a mem-
ber of the S. A. F. is located, advising- that the local
florists would aid the schools in this work. We also
send our documents to the Commissioner of Education
in every State in the Union, and the inquiries that come
from far and near relative to this work are consider-
able. We received from the State of New Jersey com-
mendation of the S. A. F. for this service, also a direc-
tory; and were requested t» mail our circulars to
every school listed therein. Pennsylvania similarly
acknowledged our literature, Idaho reported that it was
good work we were doing, and certainly from what we
have observed the work being done must stimulate the
planting and cultivation of flowers. The amount of
money available for the work is small compared to
the area we cover, nevertheless the Society of Ameri-
can Florists has been put on the map as a national
organization, determined to help America to be a neat,
tidy and thrifty country, and to encourage schools,
both large and small to train all children in this useful
endeavor. Our Society has been doing this for many
years with the result that it encourages and benefits
any community where school gardening is carried on by
teaching the rising generation to cultivate and beautify
the home garden, no matter how small it may be.

This report was accepted and made part of the
records.

Thomas Roland then made a few remarks regard-
ing the revision of by-laws. He stated that the
amendments as presented in the program were the
result of much hard work by the committee, and
hoped that all members would vote for them.

The report of the Committee on Publication of an
index of Plant Pests was made by J. Fred Ammann,
chairman.

The Florists' Exchange

Standardized Plant Names

Reporting for the Committee on Nomenclature,
Chairman J. Horace McFarland first pointed out that
standardized names — tooth scientific and common —
are no less desirable for plants than for men and
women ; in each case they lead to secure titles and
easy transactions.

Every man, he observed, who buys, sells, handles,
or in any way uses or relates to plants, needs to be
able to get what he wants by one name when he
wants it. His order ought to be good anywhere in
America to bring the same plant under the same
name.

What the Joint Committee Is and Has Done

It was to meet this situation that the American
Joint Committee on Horticultural Nomenclature was
formed eig"ht or nine years ago and has been laboring
ever since, at a cost to its members altogether out-
rageous to contemplate. Part of its expenses has been
paid by contributkms from the various organizations
participating, but all of the time of able and acute
plantsmen has been given to a job which if it had been
fully faced at the beginning would never have been
undertaken.

Including representatives of the American Associa-
tion of Nurserymen, of the Ornamental Growers Asso-
ciation, of the American Society of Landscape Archi-
tects, of the American Pharmaceutical Association, of
the American Institute of Parle Executives, as well as
a committee of this important bodv of florists, and
working together with Dr. L. H. Bailey, editor of the
Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture, this committee
has also secured the hearty cooperation of the Ameri-
can Dahlia Society, the American Gladiolus Society, the
American Iris Society, the American Peony Society, the
American Pomological Society, the American Kose So-
ciety, the American Sweet Pea Societv and the Ameri-
can Seed Trade Association. Indeed it has had a cold
shoulder shown it by only one organization, the Ameri-
can Carnation Society.

The Joint Committee appointed a subcommittee (in-
cluding Harlan P. Kelsey, Frederick Law Olmsted and
Frederick V. Coville, the latter the United States
Botanist), which has worked with devotion and total
disregard of its own interests; I as general chairman,
and as representing both florists and nurserymen, have
done what I could in promoting its work.

Official Catalog Nearly Ready

The result is the completed manuscript for the Offi-
cial Catalog of Standardized Plant Names, now being
finally assembled into shape for publication at an
early date.

This great work will be the standard buying and
quoting authority for a half-dozen years or more. It
does not pretend to be scientific. It does insist that it
is practical, definite and reasonable. It shows the ac-
cepted scientific name as well as the accepted common
name. It presents accurate lists of all the fruits, re-
vised by the American Pomological Society; of Roses,
Dahlias, Gladioli, Iris, Peonies, Sweet Peas, and manv
other horticultural and floricultural items, furnished
in each case by their authorities.

The book will be easy to read and understand, be-
cause the accepted names are given a separate type,
so that they stick out above others. A simple and
logical method, however, enables one to follow syno-
nyms, so that if he nearly knows the name of a plant
he can usually find its standardized name in this book.

There has been a very extensive pre-publication ac-
ceptance of this book, and there is now no question
that it will pass into the commercial and scientific and
educational literature of plants in America immediately
upon publication. It will be found in libraries and
will be accepted as authority. It does not interfere
with the scientific study of names, and eventually will
be revised to bring things up to date, but it will stop
the abomination existing, for example, in which the
Ins amabilis is also known as Laura; Chalcedonica;
Johan de Witte; Johan de Worth; Juliette; Mrs. Charles
Wheeler; Gen. de Witte, and half a dozen others I sup-
pose.

Continued Support Essential to Book's Usefulness

Now the statement as to this great work, which
ought to be available for use in the early Pall, al-
though it depends entirely on the continued health
and devotion of the man through whom the manu-
script must finally toe assembled, is not only what I
have to say on standardized plant names, but is the
report of your committee, which has cheerfully co-
operated in supporting this work as occasion de-
manded.

_ The book will need to be in the office of every flo-
rist in the nation who deals in plants. It is com-
mended for the important uses for which it is de-
signed, and the society is asked to continue the sup-
port which has made possible the progress of the
book to a point nearing publication. It should be
noted that if this book had to be made in the ordi-
nary way it would cost at least $10 per copy. There
is no expense of editorial salaries for compilation,
and there is no publisher's profit to be provided. The
various organizations continuing their annual support
have provided in part for the clerical expense neces-
sary in the progress of the work. The appropriation
of $250 annually made by the Society of American
llorists should be continued, because it will aid in
the final expense of the conclusion of the work and
make possible the handling of it without individual
loss to the guarantors, who have agreed to stand
back of it to the extent of $2000 in order to get the
work actually in print.

Report of Finance Committee

By Herman P. Knoble, Chairman

I much regret being unable to be present at this
annual meeting, having long looked forward to the time
when I could visit my friends in this territory, but
press of other business keeps me away. I am making
my report as chairman of the finance committee in the
following form, and will ask your secretary to read it
for me.

"At a meeting of the finance committee held in In-
dianapolis, March 28, 1922, a budget was prepared cov-
ering expenses for the operation of the society, for the
year of 1922, from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31. inclusive.

"The total amount estimated for expenses was
$15,230. The estimated income was $16,900, leaving a
margin of approximately $1700, with a short estimate
for the income from the convention, which will be ex-
ceeded by at least $1500, as reported to me by Mr.
Young. This would show a profit of $3000 in the opera-
tion of the society for the year.

"Up to and including Julv 1, 1922, the disbursements
were $8534.29, and in this list were included items
amounting to $2,148.89, which would not occur the rest
of the year. That would make an item of $6,385.40 as
regular expenses for the first half. If the expenses for
the balance of the year are in the same proportion, the
total operating cost will be, for the year, $14,919.69.

"Tour committee is absolutely satisfied that we will
not exceed $15,000, and under these conditions we will
net approximately $3,000, as stated before.

"Your treasurer will make a report as to funds on
hand, which have been audited by our regular auditing
department, and are complete and intact.

"The committee takes great pleasure in making such
a satisfactory report, which reflects most eommendably
upon the ability of your president and secretary, as the
most active officers, also upon the rest of your execu-
tive family."

Report of Committee on Education

Rendered by Fred A. Wilson, Chairman

As chairman of the Committee on Education, I
would submit a report which in substance asks for
an extension of time and for the appointment of a
new member to take my place.

Thomas Roland, when president of the society,
chose a committee of seven men, and gave so much
careful thought to the choice that I am forced to
conclude he obtained a good committee. It was my
intention to get a free and liberal interchange of
views on the subject presented, by transmitting to
each of the rather separated members copies of all
correspondence and comments and criticisms — so that
in the end we would have a mass of fairly digested
opinion which might become a good report and rec-
ommendation after one series of meetings. This
method of operation has not been fruitful. To my
first letter urging attention and a reply with prelim-
inary views I received no answer. To my second let-
ter I received replies from four members — two of
which were only acknowledgments.

I am forced to conclude that my standing as a
member of the society, and my rank as a horticul-
turist, are not sufficient to enlist the support and
work of others. For this reason will you present my
resignation from the committee, accompanied by the
wish that I might, by some magic process, tempora-
rily swell up to sufficient size to command the confi-
dence of the committee, and to do a good part in sub-
mitting a report worthy in every way of our great
organization. Such magic is, however, at the very
least, a lost art.

I had already formulated some personal opinions
upon the subjects submitted to us, but personal opin-
ions are not committee work. I would be glad to
submit them for the consideration of the committee
if they desire — together with whatever material is
now in my hands. This material includes a careful
report on what phases of horticulture schools and
colleges in our country are now teaching.

Let me express my great regret that I have thus
found myself unable to be of the service I would like
very much to be to horticulture and to the Society of
American Florists.

Report of Committee on Proposed Publication
of Index of Greenhouse and Garden Insects

By J. F. Ammann, Chairman

While your committee believes that the indices of
insects and host plants, and the bibliography as ar-
ranged by Mr. Davis is certainly a very valuable ac-
cumulation of insect information, yet it does not con-
tain in the opinion of your committee what seems to be
most important for florists and horticulturists. At least,
not as it is now arranged.

In order that each insect may be identified with a
reasonable degree of accuracy by the amateur without
having to make an extended study of entomology, a
short popular description should follow the subjects
mentioned therein.

It is also true that additional material would greatly
increase the size of the publication, but your com-
mittee would not feel justified in recommending the
publishing of the index without this additional ma-
terial.

Hence, while your committee admits that this would
be scientifically a valuable publication and that J. J.

Davis should be highly commended for his time and
efforts expended in gathering these data, it does not feel
that it could be made of much value to greenhouse men
in its present form and would, therefore, not recommend
it as the proper treatise for our society to publish at
this time.

On motion of A. T. De La Mare, the committee was
continued and instructed to confer further with Mr.
Davis and their report was referred to the Executive
Board.

Report of Committee on Affiliation of College
Students in Floriculture with the S. A. F.

By J. F. Ammann, Chairman

With the cooperation of Prof. H. B. Dorner, of the
University of Illinois, we have succeeded in getting
opinions from the Professors of Floriculture in the fol-
lowing States: Illinois, Iowa, New York, Pennsylvania,
and Massachusetts.

Each of these has heartily endorsed a movement
that would tend to bring the floricultural students into
an affiliation with the S. A. F. and O. H. in some man-
ner. At the present time the students in floriculture
from the above named States would number approxi-
mately 100.

There is no question in the opinion of the committee
but what this number will be greatly augmented in the
very near future when other colleges will be giving
courses in floriculture. Hence, we too appreciate the
importance of having these young men and women in
some manner connected up with the national society
of their chosen profession.

In order to bring this about and in order to encour-
age the students in floriculture throughout the country
in their chosen work by recognizing them, your com-
mittee would recommend that this society amend its
constitution and by-laws to provide for an additional
class of membership which shall be known as a "stu-
dent membership," making all students in floriculture
in the various State colleges throughout the country
eligible at membership dues of one dollar per year;
this to include the initiation fee. Said student mem-
bers to have the same rights and privileges as any
other member of the society.

This amendment should contain a provision that this
student membership should cease upon the graduation
of the student from the college when, in order to fur-
ther retain a membership in the S. A. F., such student
upon graduation shall pay an additional four dollars in
order to become a full pledged member of the S. A. F.
Thereafter he shall each year pay the regular annual
dues as provided for in the by-laws for all annual
members.-

On motion of Mr. Bentermann the foregoing matter
was referred to the Executive Board with the recom-
mendation that it should act with all sincerity and
with a helpful view as presented by the committee.

Report of Entomologist

By H. C. Irish, St. Louis, Mo.

During the year only one request has come to me for
entomological information. It was in reference to the
history and occurrence of a beetle which, I understood,
was one of the insects mentioned as exemplifying the
need of a rigid plant quarantine. This insect had been
found on some important plants and has become more
or less common. I immediately investigated the mat-
ter from all available literature and in reply made the
following statement:

Name: Scarred Snout-Beetle: This insect is also
known as the Grapevine beetle. It has been known in
this country since 1831, as reported to an entomological
museum in New England where specimens collected on
that date are, or were, on exhibition. Professor C. V.
Riley in one of his reports as entomologist for the Mis-
souri State Board of Agriculture mentions it in 1871,
but does not speak of it as being injurious to any
plants.

In 1885 Dr. J. A. Lintner, entomologist for New York
State, reports it as injurious to bulbs and house plants.
In 1S90 an entomological society of Boston and the
United States Department of Entomology both speak
of its injury to Cyclamen and ferns in greenhouses. In
1894 a writer in "Insect Life" states that it does much
damage to the Grapevine in Europe and that specimens
were found in British Columbia feeding on roots of
Cyclamen; the same letter quotes a Mr. Schwarz who
thinks it a native of North America and a member of
the circumpolar fauna.

In 1915 and 1916 a writer in the "Journal of Economic
Entomology" makes the statement that it was long
established in this country and suddenly became quite
active as a Rhododendron pest in some parts of New
Jersey and also on Taxus in some large New Jersey
nurseries. During 1920 a Government representative
reported specimens found on roots of Lily of the Val-
ley imported from Holland. In 1921 the same authority
reports specimens on roots of various ornamental her-
baceous plants imported from Holland.

From these facts there appears to be no positive evi-
dence that this insect was originally introduced from
Europe. In my opinion it is a native of this country
and, because of increased cultivation of plants, has
found many more congenial food plants on which to
work and has, therefore, increased in numbers during
the last few years. In any event it would seem to be
a matter of controlling an insect which has been here
at least 90 years rather than establishing a quarantine
to exclude such an enemy.

The only other matter to which my attention has
been given as entomologist for the society is a refer-
ence to the publication of a practical handbook on in-
sects injurious to florists' plants. The matter is under
consideration and is made the subject of a report of a
special committee of which I am a member.

President Pennock called for invitations for the ,
1923 convention, Wallace R. Pierson responding and
inviting the society to Hartford, Conn. This invita-
tion was accepted, after which adjournment was
taken.

Makes Kansas City on Time

After traveling 1700 miles by automobile from
Cromwell, Conn, to Kansas City, Mo., Wallace B.
Pierson and A. M. Henshaw arrived safely at con-
vention headquarters on Monday, Aug. 14, somewhat
sunburned, perhaps a little tired, but thoroughly
happy. Their novel experience in "camping out" over
night (they scorned hotels), preparing meals over an
open wood fire, washing by the stream, etc., will be
recorded in next week's issue.

The Cooperative, the Botary, the Cosmopolitan and
the Kiwanis Clubs threw open their doors for their
weekly luncheon meetings to all visiting florists. On
Tuesday, Cooperative Club Day, more than 100 visi-
tors attended the luncheon, where the addresses and
program had a floral tone, through the guidance of
Cooperators William L. Rock, M. E. Carter and A. R.
Smith, florists; Glenn K. Parker, distributer, and
George H. Johnston, nurseryman.

The president's reception on Tuesday evening was
a joyous affair with all the formal surroundings of
the beautifully decorated Muehlebach ballroom, and
a line of distinguished persons greeting visitors —
but with delightful informality. Mrs. Pennock graced
the receiving line with Mrs. Murray, Mrs. Noll, Mrs.
Vaughan, Mrs. Hess and their husbands. There was
dancing, an entertainment, and refreshments. The
trade exhibition in Convention Hall was closed at
6.30 in order to allow all to be present at this func-
tion, and all were there.

Refrigeration as it Concerns
the Grower

By Otto H. Amling, at the Kansas City
Convention

THE flower grower of today has a real problem
on his hands in trying to conduct his business
efficiently and profitably. The cost of building
and replacement is very high ; also production and
operating expenses, among which labor and coal dom-
inate, are on a basis that leaves little chance for
profit. Therefore, among other things, the elimina-
tion of waste in all departments is one of the main
items that must be given consideration.

Cut flowers improperly handled in a grower's es-
tablishment, are in the same category as highly per-
ishable fruit when left to get overripe and soft or
otherwise neglected on the grower's ranch — both spell
waste.

To minimize waste, all flowers must be cut when
ready, handled quickly and placed in a good cooler,
particularly during the warm Summer months. It is
inconceivable for a butcher to attempt to do busi-
ness without a refrigerator, yet to me it seems just
as necessary to success for a grower raising Roses,
Carnations and other perishable crops to have proper
cooling facilities.

A Cooling System Being Necessary, What Then?

Having concluded that a cooling system is neces-
sary, the next point to consider is the proper re-
frigerator and the most practical and adaptable
method of refrigeration for the florist's particular use.
In refrigerators, it is advisable to get a good one,
either built to one's own specifications by a good

mechanic or purchased from a concern that knows
the essentials of a good florist's box and builds ac-
cordingly. There is no satisfaction or economy in
skimping the construction cost, for a well built box,
even though it be expensive, will prove a far better
investment than an inferior, cheap one. In this con-
nection, it is well to consider the interrogative adver-
tising phrase of a well known automobile manufac-
turer: "What comes after the purchase price?" In
the case of a refrigerator, the upkeep and the expense
of maintaining desired temperatures in a properly
constructed box is small, whereas the maintenance
cost of an inferior box is considerable ; besides which,
this type gives no satisfaction.

Natural vs. Artificial Refrigeration

After securing a good refrigerator, it is equally im-
portant to choose the most practical method of re-
frigeration, which may be either natural ice or the
mechanical system, depending on local circumstances.
Speaking generally and taking all things into con-
sideration, it is my belief that the most adaptable
system for growers requiring but small capacity and
for those of large capacity who use their refrigerator
for a short period during the year only and depend to
quite an extent on the commission merchants' cooling
facilities, is the use of natural ice. This is far simpler
and more fool proof than the mechanical system.
However, for large capacities and fairly steady re-
quirements, and for continuous operation even in
smaller installations, the mechanical method is pre-
ferable. It has an advantage in being more flexible
than the natural ice system. It is possible to lower
the temperature to any desired point. The average
commercial grower has a somewhat different condi-
tion than the store man who usually must carry
some stock for several days and therefore requires
a good cooler 24 hours every day in the year.

The practice of many growers is to hold their daily
cut 12 to 24 hours ; others ship much of their stock
to market as quickly as it is cut and carry only small
quantities over night in a cooler for early morning
shipment. Also it must be taken into consideration
that most greenhouse establishments have a packing
room with good, outside ventilation, which is depended
on to carry over stock most of the year whenever
the outside temperature is cool. Because of these cir-
cumstances, it is difficult for an expensive mechanical
installation to prove up as a profitable investment in
many cases. Depreciation on buildings and machin-
ery, interest on investment and other fixed expenses
go on continually, whether the equipment is used fair-
ly continuously and up to capacity or not. Simplicity
of equipment is also an item that must be given due
consideration, since there are usually enough mechan-
ical devices on a place to require a grower's atten-
tion and detract from his real occupation. After all,
machinery is machinery and the ice machine and its
appurtenances are no exception.

Whether a mechanical system of the natural ice
system of refrigeration is most adaptable in a par-
ticular case must be determined separately in every in-
stance by a careful analysis of requirements and the
local conditions. If a certain grower's conclusion is
that the mechanical system is the more practical for
him and he is ready to consider such an installation,
then it becomes essential to his success that he choose
one that will meet his florist's particular require-
ments. Some ammonia systems, for instance, are en-
tirely unpractical and hazardous for a florist to use,
since a single mishap can ruin stock of more value
than the entire cost of a good and safe system. I am
of the opinion that among the various mechanical
methods, the carbon dioxide (COa) system is particu-
larly adapted to the florist's condition.

Whatever method of cooling is used, the advantage
of cutting down waste on cut flowers is great and
should be encouraged.

Refrigeration from a Wholesaler's Standpoint

By P. B. Rigby, Vice-president S. S. Pennock
Co., at the S. A. F. Convention

Betty's Version of It. — Elizabeth is only five but she always
remembers what she learns in Sunday school. Her father, ar-
riving home one afternoon with some candy in his pocket,
said to her, "Come, Betty, open your mouth and shut your
eyes and I'll give you something to make you wise." "Oh,
papa!" said the child in wide-eyed reproof, "that's just what
the serpent said to Eve." — Boston Transcript.

THE subject of refrigeration from a wholesaler's
standpoint is an important one. The preservation
of stock is both desirable and essential and must
be carefully considered to provide for times when
stocks are bound to accumulate.

Ice vs. Mechanical Refrigeration

Use of Ice : Before the time of refrigerating ma-
chines, ice had to be used and it still is used in the
majority of the smaller establishments. Its disad-
vantages are very great, including dependence on a
source of supply, the amount of cooling space taken
up by the ice bunkers, the necessary slop encountered
when filling the bunkers, and the inability to main-
tain adequate temperature during heated spells, when
there is a continual opening of the refrigerator doors.

Use of Befrigerating Machine : Befrigerating ma-
chines are past the experimental stage, and are suc-
cessfully operated whether a small or large amount
of refrigeration is required. The automatic refrigerat-
ing machine is easily operated by any one with ordi-
nary care and attention. The increase of refrigerat-
ing space is fully 25 per cent greater because of the
saving of bunker space and the temperature is easily
maintained at the required point.

The brine system is a safe and sure system. All
danger of damage from ammonia leaks is eliminated,
and this is of great importance, for if such a leak does
occur in a refrigerator the contents will be entirely
ruined. The equipment required with a brine system
is a little more expensive than in the case of direct
expansion, but this expense is nothing compared to
the insurance you have against loss from ammonia
leaks.

Equipment and Action of Brine System

The brine system requires a tank containing the
brine which is cooled by compression in the refrigerat-
ing machine to any required temperature, and then
circulated through the coils in the refrigerator by
means of small centrifugal pumps. The action is un-
der thermostatic control, the compressors starting
and stopping within a 3 deg. to 5 deg. range of a
predetermined brine temperature. The pump which
circulates the brine is also under thermostatic con-
trol, and operates within a one degree range. Your
temperature is, therefore, at all times close to a pre-
determined point regardless of the opening and shut-
ting of doors.

The size of the machine used is entirely regulated
by the amount of refrigerating space required and the
temperature to be maintained. Machines are rated in
terms of tons, a one-ton machine having a cooling
capacity equivalent to that of a ton of ice melted
in 24 hours, and so on. Best results are obtained from
a machine of somewhat greater capacity than is re-
quired as the machine will not then be overworked.
The initial increased expense of installation is small
as compared to the results obtained and the power
consumed is not much greater, as the machine will
not have to be run for so long a time to effect the
required temperature.

Size Machine Required for Certain Results

Any -refrigeration engineer can tell you the size
of machine required to maintain a certain tempera-
ture for a certain space. From practical experience
I have found that a 2% ton machine will in warm
weather serve to maintain almost continuously a
brine temperature of 15 deg. to IS deg. above zero,
which is about right to maintain a temperature of
40 deg. to 45 deg. above zero in a box with a capacity
of 1500 to 2000 cu. ft.

Refrigeration Costs

A 2% ton automatic refrigerating machine with a
brine tank, 5 horse power motor for compressor, two
centrifugal pumps, each with % horse power motor
.(one for spare) for circulating the brine through the
refrigerating coils, and capable of cooling 2000 eu. ft.
of space to temperatures required for flowers, to-
gether with necessary thermostats, can be installed
for possibly $5000 to $6000.

The cost of operation for such equipment depends
on the cost of electric current. At 5c. per kilowatt
hour the expense will run from $35 to $S0 per month,
with an average of about $60. To this must be added
the depreciation of 10 per cent on the equipment, aDd
the necessary repairs for maintenance which will
bring the average cost to about $125 monthly. Ice at
$6 per ton for the same cooling capacity would cost
at least $150 per month, and would require much
more space for refrigerators, due to a loss of at least
25 per cent for bunker space.

Refrigeration Efficiency

In my opinion there is no comparison possible be-
tween the use of ice and that of a refrigerating ma-
chine working automatically in the case of a cooling
space of 1000 cu. ft. or more. The temperature is al-
ways even day or night in the latter case, and de-
pendence on an outside source is entirely eliminated.
The temperature can be regulated to suit the require-
ments, while with ice it cannot be regulated at all.

To preserve an even temperature in any refrigera-
tor a fan of some kind should be used. Any refrigera-
tor will always vary 5 deg. or 6 deg. from the bottom
to the top. This variation, however, is of small im-
portance, as a temperature of anywhere between 40
deg. and 50 deg. above zero is adequate for the pres-
ervation of flowers and gives satisfactory results any-
where between this range.

I am not a refrigerating engineer and the foregoing
remarks are based entirely on practical operation.
If I have been able to give any information of value
to tie flower trade I shall feel amply repaid for the
effort.

|Mechanical Refrigeration for
the Retailer

By H. D. Schiller, Chicago, at the S. A. F.
Convention

THIS subject is of vital import to all flower han-
dling branches of the industry, and I believe it*
two important questions are — first, practicabil-
ity, and second, cost.

Prom my observations and investigation, I would
say that the saving made possible by mechanical re-
frigeration is of little importance compared with its
practicability; therefore, I will point out my findings
with practicability in mind. As all my experience
has been with ammonia machines, I will use this
type of mechanical refrigeration as the source of my
data.

Disregarding all other media used for mechanical
refrigeration, the present successful cooling plant
operates on either ammonia or Cx02 (carbonic acid
gas). It may safely be said that other gases are in
the experimental stage as yet — 95 per cent of all re-
frigerating systems using ammonia and the balance,
or 5 per cent, using COs — -Ethyl Chloride — and SO*
(sulphur dioxide).

From actual experience I find that all flowers put
in mechanically cooled refrigerators will develop nat-
urally, but more slowly. In other words, Roses, such
as Premier, which in an ice box remain in bud and
later turn blue without opening, will, in a mechan-
ically cooled refrigerator, develop. "Sou may judge
for yourselves this saving and advantage. Sweet
Peas, Carnations and other flowers that are affected
and apt to mould in a moist atmosphere, will remain
fresh and crisp with mechanical refrigeration. This
is due to the drying of the air in the mechanical
system.

Xou all have noticed the frost on pipes in refrigera-
tor plants — this is nothing more than the surplus
moisture crystallized out of the air. To further illus-
trate— especially to the retailers — the advantages of
dry air in the cooling box, please consider the bridal
work with its Valley, Adiantum, ribbons, lace col-
lars, etc. If made up any great length of time in
advance and put in an ice cooled box, it will be en-
tirely wilted, ribbons as well as flowers. From ac-
tual experience I have had a bridal order complete
with all its accessories lay open in our mechanically
cooled box for 72 hours without flowers, ribbons or
laces wilting.

Advantages of Mechanical Cooling

Taking a general check on mechanical refrigera-
tion against ice refrigeration, the writer is satisfied
that with proper circulation, the relative humidity
or dampness of the mechanical apparatus is over
SO per cent less than that using ice at corresponding
temperatures.

To show -additional advantages I will, with your
permission, mention our own concern — Schiller, The
Florist — which has display boxes and large storage
boxes, the temperatures of which can be separately
controlled so that at New Year's, St. Valentine's Day,
Easter, etc., when corsage work is extremely heavy,
and it becomes necessary to start making corsages
and colonial bouquets many hours in advance, we
run the temperature of our storage boxes down to
40 deg., make up and box up the orders complete,
and place them in the storage box until time for de-
livery.

This has proved very satisfactory, as the flowers
arrive crisp, dry and cool. The boxes and paper hav-
ing been chilled by lying in the storage box for sev-
eral hours, the flowers can travel en route to destina-

tion for a couple of hours before a high outside tem-
perature will penetrate into the package.

I would mention at this time that 45 deg. to 50 deg.
is, I believe, the proper temperature at which to keep
display boxes, as the shock of being moved from that
temperature to a room temperature will not affect the
flowers.

Insuring Safety in Ammonia Machines

The next question is the safety of ammonia ma-
chines. Safety being a main factor, it is found that
all ammonia plants have, 'by general ordinance, four
safety points. The first is a low pressure chain pull
check valve which operates by chain from an adjoin-
ing room ; the second is a high pressure check valve
operating automatically. These two safety valves are
so placed that in case of trouble or leakage the sys-
tem is stopped and allows only the leakage of such
gas as may be back of either of the valves.

Thirdly, to guard against neglect on the part of the
operator, place a 250 lb. safety valve between the
low pressure and high pressure sides of the compres-
sion. This pop valve is somewhat like the kind used
on boilers and is so placed that it cannot be shut off
by mistake or accident. This safety valve is installed
for the reason that should the operator forget to
open his high pressure valve ahead of the compres-
sion, the only result will be a 250 lb. pressure, mak-
ing a short trip back and forth through the pump,
and no breakage or accident will result from the
mistake. As soon as the system is corrected, this
valve automatically seats itself under lower pressure
and the machine goes back to normal operation.

As a final precaution, the condenser or receiver,
is arranged with a safety valve set at 300 lbs., so
placed that a greater pressure will open this valve
and send the main charge of the plant out and above
the roof of the building where it can do no harm.

Thus, with the present day ammonia equipment,
it is almost impossible to make any serious mistake.

The subject of convenience is very important. In
the first place, with mechanical refrigeration, dirt,
sweat and drips are entirely eliminated. You also
have absolute control of temperature, as with any
properly installed machine you can carry the tem-
perature at any degree you desire.

For instance, for the storage of a large quantity
of Peonies you can run the temperature down to 34
deg. and constantly carry a large reserve stock. Al-
though it does not directly bear on the subject of
this paper, I will, nevertheless, highly recommend
the use of storage boxes on retail establishments.

Cost Figures and Comparisons

Now for costs— using 30 deg. as a minimum tem-
perature :,

One ton $1400.00 $18.00 1500 cu. ft.

Three ton 2000.00 33.00 5000 cu. ft.

Four ton 2800.00 40.00 7000 cu ft

Five ton 3000.00 50.00 10,000 cu ft

Ten ton 4500.00 125.00 30,000 cu. ft.

You can figure for ammonia machines about $S per
ton capacity per year for oil, additional ammonia,
etc., and about $15 per ton per year for repairs and
upkeep. Any person with average intelligence can
learn the operation of the refrigerating plant in a
few days.

An example of the comparative cost between ice
and ammonia machines, as provided at our Broadway
store, remembering that our ammonia machine is cool-
ing 1200 cu. ft. more than when we used ice, since
we have added a storage box, is given here:

Cost of ice at Cost of elec-

Period 40c. per 100 lbs. Period trical current

May, 1921 $97.20 May, 1922 $22.60

June, 1921 145.00 June, 1922 24 85

July, 1921 127.20 July, 1922 29'.S3

It is the writer's belief that after one has used
mechanical refrigeration, he would no more think of
going back to ice than a user of motor equipment
would care to revert to horse drawn vehicles.

Publicity and Cooperation

By P. F. O'Keefe, Boston, Mass., at the
S. A. F. Convention

*»>IITTTT-

THOSE whose interests demand that they keep in
close touch with the developments of general
business are in accord in reporting reliable and
encouraging signs of a steady return to normal pros-
perity. World trade is slowly improving; unemploy-
ment is diminishing both in this country and abroad;
iiiul a healthy feeling of optimism has displaced the
gloom which marked the business outlook of 12
mouths ago. When one realizes that the volume of
world trade in 1921 was but half of that in 1913 he

can better understand the vast amount of national
and international buying power that is waiting to be
released by a further improvement in conditions
abroad.

Conditions in this country are fundamentally sound.
Money is plentiful and credit easy. On July we had
almost $4,000,000,000 in gold, or more than two-
fifths of all the gold money in the world. This enor-
mous accumulation of gold, together with the strong
position of our banking system, would allow of our
meeting a period of business expansion and activity
greater than that of the war period without danger
of uncontrolled iuflation or impairment of credit.

Wisdom, however, prompts a slower rate of recov-
ery than would result from an excited business boom,
chiefly because of conditions abroad, and the inevi-
table effect on Europe and our foreign trade gener-
ally.

It is true that in some lines readjustment has pro-
ceeded to extreme lengths. Prices of some commodi-
ties are still below the prewar period, while in others
they are still double what they were eight years ago.
Further adjustment must be looked for as efforts are
made to reconcile these disparities. But in spite of
such obstacles, I believe that business and credit
conditions fully justify confidence that improvement
in business will be marked by late Autumn and
throughout the Winter.

Reports of crop prospects indicate that the farmer
is due to recover some of his losses of the past two
years. Prosperity for the farmer (who represents
more than 40 per cent of the country's buying power)
means, more than anything else, general prosperity.
His 'prosperity is quickly reflected in an increased
demand from a great consuming market, which, in
turn, is passed on to other lines. The general building
revival, under way for the past year, will also mean
a renewal of business iu many allied lines. Thus as
each new trade or industry feels the push of increas-
ing business the stimulating effect is soon manifested
in an increase in the purchasing and consuming power
of the country as a whole. Viewing the situation
broadly, I anticipate that the general price trend will
be slightly downward as business revival gets into
full swing.

General Business and the Florist Outlook

I have gone into the general business situation be-
cause I feel that in making our plans for the next
year it is highly desirable that we should endeavor
to gather some idea of what it may hold for the
members of the S. A. F. With a well justified,
healthy and optimistic outlook to inspire you, and
with a determination to develop the spirit of co-
operation to the highest possible degree, the coming
year should be one of especially good prospects for
promotion of the florists' business.

There should be in all our plans, a provision for
increasing the spirit of cooperation. To that end I
am going to suggest that you make a more intimate
use of your slogan, and learn to "Say it with Flow-
ers" yourselves. Sir Charles Higham, the celebrated
English advertising expert, on his recent visit to this
country took that slogan for his text in delivering a
powerful sermon on the value of cooperation. -'If
the whole world would learn to say it with flowers
there would be no need of inspirational meetings."
was his comment on the efforts of groups of inter-
national statesmen and others to find a remedy for
the world's ills.

When Cooperation is Lacking

Your presence at this convention is evidence of your
belief in the value of cooperation, not as a moral
force, but in terms of cold business. Take, for exam-
ple, the case of ten florists who are large distributers
in one city. Each tries to do the greatest possible
amount of business wholly regardless of the efforts of
the other nine. When things appear promising for
good business, each of the ten will order heavily,
usually above any reasonable estimate of his normal
requirements.

That is where the difficulty begins. The aggregate
orders placed by the ten is far in excess of the quan-
tity that can possibly be consumed in that particular
market. As a result, there is between them a con-
stant race which soon develops into cut-throat com-
petition. One or two of the more aggressive, or more
fortunate, eventually get out whole; the others must
take large losses.

Failure to cooperate means that the market of
these ten dealers is frequently "glutted." Except in
the case of a few large cities they have no other out-
let to which they might switch their surplus. After
several such experiences they are affected by exces-
sive caution, order short and again show as losers
because they are not stocked to meet demand. This-
up and down game goes on season after season sim-
ply because they have not taken measures to learn
just what the entire community will consume and
have not planned their buying, so that there will be
no danger of overstocking by any of them.

Some of you gentlemen will say that the flower J

market is unlike others: but that is what every mer-
chant says of his particular line. Every community
has a fixed consuming power, for every commodity
representing a need of the people, whether it be flow-
ers or fur coats. This power is determined by a num-
ber of factors, but, while it cannot be forced into
greater proportions by arbitrary measures, it can be
led. Its increase is not the result of spasmodic gam-
bles on the part of local distributers, but is attained
only through systematic and careful cultivation.

Know Your Market and Develop It

Know your market, and develop it naturally. Make
a study of the plans of organizations like the Ameri-
can Fruit Growers Association in educating local
wholesalers and retailers as to proper methods of
distribution and market expansion. It may be that
in time florists will be in a position to maintain a
staff of trade scouts whose job will be to visit local
markets and advise the dealers as to the best meth-
ods for extending their field.

The need for improvement is greatest in the small-
est cities. Tet even in the large cities much could
be improved in the systems of filling purely local
demands. I wonder how many of you gentlemen in
your efforts to develop F. T. D. orders have given
thought ot the fact that 97,000 visitors enter the
city of New York every day? When you consider
that that army of visitors is recruited from almost
every city in the United States you will appreciate
that it represents a great potential expansion of your
telegraph business. You could feature in your local
advertising suggestions to friends of persons visiting
New York, that they have flowers in their rooms to
greet them.

Opportunities for Business Building

Now that the custom of recognizing Mother's Day
by the wearing of Carnations has become thoroughly
established, I believe that the attention of this asso-
ciation should be turned toward promoting similar
interest in other days. Father's Day and Friendship
■Day are two that are already started and should be
steadily developed. The general benefit derived from
the observance of Memorial Day might be enhanced
by educating everyone to wear a distinctive flower
in memory of our soldier dead. A special flower
could be worn by those who have given husband, son,
brother or father to their country's defense. Through
committee cooperation with the G. A. R. the Span-
ish War Veterans, and the American Legion, I be-
lieve a program for putting such an idea into effect
could be readily worked out.

Similar cooperation with local churches and Na-
tional religious associations should be productive of
an increased use of flowers in church decoration.
The clergy of several denominations urge gifts of
flowers on church Holy Days, and I am quite certain
that they would welcome the efforts of local florists
who would make a feature of these gifts in their
advertising. I know the demands that are made on
florists for gifts to hospitals and I am well aware
how generously they respond. I believe that with the
right kind of effort the public could be induced to
take this burden from the shoulders of the florists
by designating a day when everyone should send
flowers to the local hospitals.

In every plan to be worked out for the broadening
of your local market make it the first step to secure
complete cooperation of the local florists, and the
next to secure the support of the local Chamber of
Commerce or Board of Trade. From what I have
seen of florists they are apt to have much of the
modesty of one of the most fascinatingly beautiful of
their own productions. The Violet may be a shy and
shrinking flower, but in its season it generally man-
ages to appear in the best circles on all occasions.
The florists in every community should make them-
selves the leaders in every movement for town beau-
tifieation whether it is in promoting a city garden
idea or a wild flower protection campaign. Every-
thing that increases the love of flowers inherent in
all of us must react to the advantage of the florist.
While it may not be possible to have an organiza-
tion like the Massachusetts Horticultural Society in
every community, you can, by cooperating with your
local Chamber of Commerce and other organizations,
develop a program of flower shows several times a
year.

Some of these suggestions are no doubt covering
ground that you may have already broken, yet they
may still help toward discussion and possible action
by the society.

A Concrete Urgent Suggestion

While on the matter of cooperation, I wish to call
attention to the very poor support that the florists
of this country, generally, are giving the National
Publicity fund. They are all benefiting from it as
they know themselves, but comparatively few are
doing anything to support the campaign and unless

they do something very quickly, that is, do their
share, the National Publicity work will have to be
considerably curtailed if not dropped altogether.

All florists, whether wholesalers, growers, retail-
ers or specialty houses, should contribute to the Na-
tional Publicity fund immediately, on a basis that
will be fair to themselves and their business and to
the industry which is furnishing them their living.

Many florists seem to be in doubt as to the amount
they would consider a just subscription to the Na-
tional Publicity fund. The following scale based on
only one-tenth of one per cent of gross sales, would
be most equitable :

Floricultural Training for Young Men

By Thomas Roland

A paper read before the S. A. F. and O. H.
Convention, Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 15 to 17

TO approach the question of education and train-
ing for young men intending to make floricul-
ture their life work, is to touch a subject that
is the fundamental basis for most of their progress
and advancement that will take place in the future.

What Is Education?

But whatsis education? It is properly assimilated
knowledge, a part of which is most easily obtained
in school and college, but can be obtained, also, for
the most part, in other ways and during life's other
occupations. Thus a well trained man may be what
is known as a self-made man aud a man without
' experience in college halls. Education is the fine sift-
ing and solidifying, weighing and analyzing, of ex-
perience and observations, in which apparently the
only requirement is a desire to learn and learn al-
ways and all the time, accompanied by a chance
(which may be sought and found) to know about
more things than the few that engross a man
in his ordinary day to day work. A college educa-
tion is important, because the easiest way to acquire
a certain broad range of knowledge which leads natu-
rally, though not necessarily, onward to broad vi-
sioned, whole-souled, manhood. In general affairs
and business, it is found that a far greater propor-
tion of college men succeed than of non-college men,
and I believe in time this will be equally true of
men who have had the advantages of a floricultural
college. It is said that America has the finest sys-
tem of agricultural and horticultural schools in the
world, so that there is no lack of opportunity to those
desiring to obtain the best.

I know there has been a feeling amongst many
commercial florists against the young men coming
from floricultural schools. The complaint most gen-
erally made is, that these young men are apt to be
strong on theory but lacking in practical application.
But I have no doubt but that such a complaint might
be made with equal truth against young men going di-
rect from college into any practical calling, and it
would be strange were it otherwise, because real prac-
tical experience must be gained in the workshop.

What a Young Man Should Do

In my own mind, I feel that horticultural progress
will be in proportion to the numbers starting out with
a scientific training as a basis for practical training.
To the young man on leaving college, who has decided
to devote himself to floriculture, I would say obtain
a position where a general collection of plants and
flowers is grown, in preference to one where only one
or two varieties are handled. In the first place, young
men just out of school might easily be discouraged,
working on a place growing only one or two varieties
of plants. Then again, I believe it is very important
and necessary to strive for general experience among
all classes of plants and flowers. This plan not only
relieves the beginner of much monotonous work, but
gives him a real opportunity to gain much general
knowledge. Even though it may be the intention to
specialize later on one particular thing, the time
spent in obtaining a general knowledge will surely
prove to have been worth while. I am sure all will
admit that the Rose, Carnation or other specialist
who has had a broad general experience has been

much better fitted to take up his special line of
work. There are located throughout the country,
many fine private estates having extensive orna-
mental grounds and, in many instances, quite exten-
sive ranges of glass. In some of these places are to
be found very complete collections of trees, shrubs,
herbaceous plants, and fruit trees, as well as large
collections of plants and flowers growing under glass.
I believe that a well-kept extensive private estate
would prove to be an excellent practical school for
anyone on leaving college, and I am sure a year put
in in this way would prove of lasting value.

Pleasure in Practical Knowledge

Putting aside the practical value of a general
knowledge of horticulture, it is really worth while
for the real pleasure and joy that becomes a natural
part of the broader experience. After a liberal time
has been devoted to acquiring this general knowledge
of the best horticulture, I believe it wise to deter-
mine then, so far as that may be possible, what spe-
cial branch of horticulture is to be one's life work.
After a year or so of specializing, the student should
be capable of taking charge. To the average young
man leaving college this outline, brief as it is, will at
first thought seem like a life of unnecessary drudgery.
But nothing in this world worth while is to be had
without struggle and sacrifice. Plums do not fall
into ready open mouths except in fairy tales. Knowl-
edge is power. The more you know about your busi-
ness the better you can handle your life work, and
no man knows all there is to learn about his business.
The more you know about general affairs the better
citizen you are, and the better neighbor.

In conclusion I want to say that I have the most
profound faith in the value of a scientific training
and I firmly believe that it is a fundamental necessity
of real horticultural advancement. The love and de-
sire for plants and flowers is firmly fixed among all
classes of people, consequently the future for horti-
culture in general is not only very encouraging, but
as an industry it is as firmly fixed as any industry
can be. Commercial horticulture offers unlimited op-
portunities to young men of ability. Besides the per-
sonal results which may be expected as much as from
any calling, the services to one's fellow men is an im-
portant element, becoming more important as men
see that service is all of life.

A Standard Accounting System for the Florist

By H. T. Spangler, Staff Member Loomis, Suffern

& Fernald, Certified Public Accountants,

New York City, Before the S. A. F.

Convention

WHAT did it cost you to grow your Chrysanthe-
mums last year? How many blooms did you
average to the plant? How does the present cost
and production per plant compare with that of last
year and the year before? If production per plant has
decreased, it means that your costs are increasing; and
if the sales price has not. advanced in proportion, you
are working for a loss. Aren't you vitally concerned
about that? If the cost has increased for any other
reason you should have a definite idea why, so you
can stop that loss another year.

You have to have permanent facts clearly set down
as they occur in order to know these things ; and
keeping books of accounts is the basis of all such in-
formation.

Why a Detailed Cost System?

How many varieties do you grow? Is it possible
to specialize in many? Yes, if the grower has acres
under glass, broad knowledge, excellent books and
records to guide him, and many capable assistants.
Perhaps greater profit may be had by growing and
specializing in a limited number of varieties, so that
a greater number of blooms per plant or a greater
number of first quality plants are produced, than
could be made ready for sale if the grower was bur-
dened with a great number of varieties. In a word
this is the era of •'specialization" and in every pro-
fession and industry, in order to be successful, a man
must do one thing and do it exceptionally well to the
exclusion of other things.

How you would laugh at a one legged man train-
ing to be a professional runner. Yet is it any more
ridiculous for a man unequipped to handle his every
day problems, without records and books to guide
him in deciding this policy to try to do business witu
his neighbor who has these aids?

It may take a little time and patience to keep
your costs checked against your sales, so as to show
the difference as a profit or loss. But, of course, to
know the full story of your Chrysanthemums or any
other stock, you then have all the data to compare
with other year's results.

The Florists' Exchange

There are so many conditions, such as freezes,
windstorms, cheap markets, etc., over which you have
practically no control, that the grower must elim-
inate those he can control. They, the operating losses,
are the very ones that hring ahout most of the loss.
Most growers are consoled by a general or net profit
on all things produced, even if it is small; many count
their own time worth less than what they pay a
helper; but the good busiuess man knows that any
business should pay all help its true value and still
return a good income on the investment. Face the
facts and stick to books of account for they unfail-
ingly give you the reason.

Take this example: A grower's total expenses for
the year are $10,000; he has 20 houses all the same
size, so he knows his overhead per house was $500.
With this knowledge he can go farther and cut his
overhead or increase his production, in either case
increasing his profit.

Know What Your Business Is Worth

If you assemble all the assets of a business and
deduct what it owes, you have what the business
is worth or its "net worth."

It frequently becomes necessary to borrow from
the bank and the man who keeps clear books of ac-
count, and regularly knows his value can impress
Ms banker with his methods of doing business. His
system betokens a sound management.

Then it is most reasonable that the man who in-
vests his money in any enterprise should at certain
periods like to know just how his money is distributed
and see if it is spread out, so that it is doing the
most from an income producing point. He also wants
to know if his current assets — cash on hand or those
assets which will shortly bring cash — will meet his
needs for pay roll, supplies and immediate expenses.
•Generally speaking it is a difficult and very unsatis-
factory practice to wait until the day you must have
ii balance sheet, to start to prepare one. Finally, if
inn should have to sell part or all of the business or
.trust its management to another, and have no his-
tory of it, the proving of statements may be a hard
matter. While many such statements might be made
in good faith, it is doubtful if a good business man
would accept them at face value.

Sound Business Policies Are Founded on Facts

Perhaps you have never before realized what a
dangerous practice it is to try to work without books
of accounts to guide and protect you. Once you can
understand what and where your specific losses and
gains are, you can individually decide what your
policy should be as to kind and variety of plants
grown.

To begin with, keep a record of any exchange of
value — cash for tools, expense or something else, or
sales of your product for cash or the obligation of
another. Each and every transaction should be
recorded. While this might seem a difficult and tire-
some practice, it is not necessarily so, because of the
interest involved and the obvious benefits reaped by
familiarity with these vital facts.

I suggest that your society appoint a Committee
on Standardization of Accounts, and to assist it in
securing and assembling data engage a reputable pub-

lic accountant. Then let it authorize the committee
to establish a Service Bureau directed by this ac-
countant. This bureau could issue to members com-
plete sets of books with instructions as to how to
keep them, issue advice from time to time on cur-
rent problems, general information and income tax
advice. Because the needs had first been considered
and studied by practical florists and then assembled
by an accountant the results should be most satis-
factory and economical.

The Income Tax Aspect

The importance of well planned books of accounts
today is greatly augmented by income tax laws. With
limited instruction and correct books any man should
easily be able to make his own tax return and under-
stand why he pays just what taxes he does. Without
books to tell what hapened six, eight or ten months
ago it is an impossible proposition to give the facts
to the Bureau of Internal Revenue in the form of an
income tax return. If the details of many transac-
tions could have been brought to light many business
men would have saved thousands of dollars. Many
corporations and individuals even now are employ-
ing accountants to analyze their books for past years
with the result that by filing amended returns they
are correcting mistakes previously made and receiv-
ing refunds or credits amounting to millions of dol-
lars. Make a correct return and not a guess. Begin
today by keeping correct books of accounts.

Many industries have already taken this step, and
even now many others, realizing the benefits accruing
to all, have through their national trade associations,
authorized committees to study this phase of their
industry, and have thereby, through accountancy, laid
a foundation for a clear permanent history.

Problems peculiar to the florist business could care-
fully be considered and a consensus of opinion ob-
tained. Take the item of a reserve for depreciation
on greenhouses, hotbeds, benches, small tools and
portable equipment. The greenhouses depreciate
quickly, and are very perishable as are many of the
tools and equipment used in floristry. The rates used
in other industries where the assets depreciate, but
not nearly so readily, would not be applicable. A sur-
vey of conditions and a review of experiences would
permit the adoption of a conservative but reasonable
rate and this would affect the income tax that must
be paid.

by Mr. Sceery and also by Max Schling with espe-
cial emphasis.

For vice-president, Wallace R. Pierson is the only
nominee, with E. G. Hill as his proposer. For sec-
retary, John Young was named by Geo. Asmus as
"part of his annual job," who endorsed Mr. Young's
talents and fitness for the position with a fine burst
of eloquence. Further endorsers were Phil. Breit-
meyer, Max Schling, Richard Vincent, Jr., and W. R.
Pierson.

Peter Pearson of Chicago proposed J. F. Ammann,
but that gentleman, rising, expressed regret that his
nomination had been made at this time, stating
that it had received no encouragement from him. He
requested permission to withdraw his name, which
was granted, when nominations were closed.

For treasurer, L. E. Hitz nominated, and Mr.
Breitmeyer seconded, J. Hess, the present incum-
bent, and nominations were closed. For directors for
three years, J. F. Ammann named R. F. Wilcox,
Montebello, Calif. This was seconded by E. G. Hill
and Otto Lang and received with enthusiasm. Max
Schling was nominated by Richard Vincent, Jr., and
seconded by Phil. Breitmeyer. Paul Klingsporn was
nominated by W. R. Pierson and seconded by Peter
Pearson. The consideration of the amendments was
postponed until the Wednesday afternoon session.

Last Minute Report from Kansas City

Wednesday Morning Session

The disposition of routine business left over from
the previous session, together with a somewhat heated
discussion on Quarantine 37, and the reading of a
paper on the coal situation, occupied the time from
9.30 a.m. to 12.15. It might well have been called a
"red hot" session, if only because of the heat.

Then came the all important and patiently awaited
nominations for officers for 1923. For president,
Wallace R. Pierson proposed C. C. Pollworth, Mil-
waukee. Philip Breitmeyer next proposed Irwin
Bertermann, Indianapolis, this name being seconded

Still Later News

Kansas City, 10.30 p. m., Aug. 16

Wednesday afternoon's proceedings started with
the reading of the amendments. It appears likely
that they will go through intact, although strong op-
position was manifested against amendments eight
and nine.

Thereafter the program was followed closely. S.
M. Kinney's address on "Cooperative Advertising" was
listened to with the greatest attention. The cream
of his advice was to the effect that national adver-
tising should coordinate with local advertising, the
local tradesmen to know well in advance the nature
and dates of the national advertising.

A possible lineup of officers for 1923 is: Irwin
Bertermann for president; election of Wallace R.
Pierson for vice-president, J. J. Hess for treasurer,
and John Young for secretary is assured. Possible di-
rectors are Roy F. Wilcox and Paul R. Klingsporn.
Proceedings have been conducted both afternoons un-
der conditions of terrific heat.

Exhibit of Hardy Perennials

This attractive arrangement was set up by Thomas
Wylie, of Seattle, Wash., at the Seattle Rose Show,
June 28, 29, 1922, and includes, Delphiniums, Sidalcea
rosea, Japanese Iris, Heliopsis Piteheri, Oenothera
riparia, Geum Mrs. Bradshaw, Eremurus Elwesii,
Allwoodii hybrid Pinks in variety, Canterbury Bells
(biennial), Campanula per. humosa, Achillea, The
Pearl, Lupins, Lilies in variety, Digitalis, Scabious,
Gypsophila and other subjects. The variable array of
receptacles and the bare, exposed tabling, somewhat
detracts from the value of this exhibit.

One of the enterprising New York City newspapers
that makes a point of having its reporter question
passers-by on subjects of more or less timely interest,
has recently broadcasted the query, "Which should
be our national flower, the Goldenrod or the Daisy."
It prints five answers, of which three are in favor of
the Goldenrod, one because it is typical of the West,
which the correspondent says is the typical section of
this nation ; the second because it is common in every
part of the country ; and the third because it is
unique and beautiful. The two individuals that dis-
sent do not, however, vote for the Daisy, one, a lady,
thinks there should be no national flower since there
is none that expresses our individuality ; she thinks
that a collection of wild flowers would be more ap-
propriate. The other, a sergeant in the Marine Corps,
discards both suggestions made and picks the Gar-
denia which he describes as gorgeous.

Notwithstanding the fact that the majority in-
cline toward the Goldenrod, we move that the mat-
ter be laid on the table.

These totals are equivalent to an insurance on 54,309,391
sq. ft. of glass.

The number of members at date of closing thi3 report is
1,690.

The total receipts for the year ending August 1, 1922, and
including last year's balance as per treasurer's report flwere
368,811.40.

The total expenditures as per treasurer's report, for the^year
ending August 1, 1922, have been $62,277.36.

The cash balance on hand is $6,534.04, of which $1,189.70
belongs to the reserve fund.

The reserve fund now amounts to $59,189.70, of which
$58,000 is invested in Liberty and Municipal Bonds, together
with $1,189.70 in the hands of the treasurer.

The amount of interest collected on bank deposits for^the
year is $401.67.

The amount of interest collected on reserve fund invest-
ments is $2,445.00.

Three thousand two hundred losses have been adjusted
since the organization of the F. H. A., involving a total ex-
penditure of over $612,000.00.

An equivalent of 147,213 sq. ft. of single thick glass was
broken by hail during the past year, for which the Association
paid $7,360.66. An equivalent of 607,914 sq. ft. of double
thick glass was broken, which cost the Association $42,554.00

The only liabilities of the Association are a few losses in
process of adjustment.

Hail storms have been prevalent in all sections of the country
and severe storms have occurred in States where owners of
glass considered themselves immune. The old axiom of
"locking the door after the horse is stolen" is being applied
at the present time.

Growing Lily of the Valley

J. A. T., N. H.

— You may easily raise Valley clumps
from imported pips. We cannot do better
than reproduce an article from The Ex-
change for June 5, 1920. You have but
to leave the clumps undisturbed until
large enough for lifting. For this purpose
give more room than suggested for single
culture.

"We assume you desire to grow Valley
in the open for cutting, or for the produc-
tion of crowns for forcing and frame cul-
ture. Valley root production is not a
difficult problem for those who have the
right location; this can only be found by
experimenting. If you find Valley does
well in your neighborhood, either in the
open or in the woods, and your soil is of
a similar character, go ahead and you will
be pleased.

"Valley is a precocious subject. In one
district it will nourish in sand, and in an-
other it does just as well in heavy loam,
but in other areas it may and does refuse
to grow anything beyond foliage, no mat-
ter what the soil is, unless special prepara-
tions are made for it.

"The German success with this crop is
not merely due to location, but rather to
correct handling and proper attention.
Denmark and Holland can produce good
Valley roots, and in some English woods
one may find acres of it growing wild in
wonderful profusion without the least at-
tention. In such districts good crowns can
be and are produced. Generally speaking,
Lily of the Valley likes a well drained
soil with a cool bottom. If the soil is
right they do not object to an open situa-
tion, but if flowers are wanted, the posi-
tion should be shaded to some extent, or
the buds will be spoiled. Plenty of well
rotted manure is essential, and the more
rotted leaves you can gather together the
better. In the woods, the roots revel in
the sandy leaf mold and never go down
beyond 3in. or 4in. Plant single crowns,,
covering with 3in. of soil, in the Spring
just as soon as the soil is ready, or in
the Fall, and keep the sizes together if
wanted for lifting. Plant in rows about
18in. apart and Gin. from crown to crown.
This will allow constant cultivation. Un-
less you cultivate and keep every weed
down and, at the same time, conserve the
moisture, you cannot hope to get good
plump crowns.

"If you can water during dry spells do
so, but do it thoroughly. Lift when the
foliage has completely dried down, but if
you are aiming at forcing roots lift no
more than you can handle quickly. Ac-
tually this is a rush job all through. The
roots should be gathered up immediately
and rapidly sorted to size in a cool, shady
shed. If the roots have half an hour's
drying they are more or less spoiled for
forcing. You want to aim at lifting, sort-
ing and replanting of the small stock roots
all within an hour, as dryness at any
period relegates the crown to non- forcing
stock.

"If you want to grow merely for cut-
ting, or even for clump production for
retail sales, plant the crowns closer and
keep down weeds as best you can. For
this crop foul ground should be avoided,
but inany ease we would plant in beds
4ft. wide to allow for cutting and weed-
ing. Never cut foliage from plants
wanted for roots. Set aside the most
pointed crowns for that purpose. Beds of
Valley will keep going for years until
the roots become too matted, when they
should be broken up and resorted."

THE twenty-fifth annual convention of the Cana-
dian Florists and Gardeners Association held in
Montreal from Aug. S to 11, inclusive, will long
be remembered by those who participated. The won-
derful preparations of the Montreal committees made
the whole convention run like clockwork.

Arriving in Montreal, the visitor found cooperation,
enthusiasm and good fellowship. From Tuesday
morning until Friday night, or rather Saturday morn-
ing, everything was run on time and with no apparent
effort. It was the result of weeks of preparative
work and was greatly appreciated by those in attend-
ance : a lesson to other convention cities to "go and
do likewise." All sessions and the trade exhibits were
held iu Stanley Hall where there was ample accom-
modation.

E. J. Hayward, the energetic and capable chairman
of the Montreal Convention Committee opened the
convention on Tuesday morning by extending a warm
welcome. After invocation by Rev. F. Williams, the
keys of the city were handed to the florists by one
of the aldermen representing Mayor Martin. The
welcome was acknowledged by Alexander Simpson of
Toronto.

W. E. Groves then rendered a wonderful presiden-
tial address which appeared on page 5S9 last week.
Alexander Simpson, in the absence of W. Foord,
opened the discussion.

Grand Parade of Past Presidents

The presentation of the past presidents was a
rather unique event. Many of them were present and
all are active members of the association. It is of
interest to note these names as they are among the
Canadian leaders in floriculture : W. W. Gammage,
1S9S and 1899 ; James McKenna, 1900 ; John H. Dun-
lop, 1901; Jos. Bennett, 1902; Thos. Manton, 1903;
E. J. Mepsted, 1904; G. W. Robinson, 1905; W. G.
Fendley, 1906; W. J. Lawrence, 1907; John Walsh,
1908 ; Ed. Dale, 1909 ; H. Philpott, 1910 ; John Connon,
1911; A. C. Wilshire, 1912; W. Muston, 1913; H. B.
Cowan, 1914 and 1915 ; F. W. Adam, 1916 ; Jas. Fraser,
1917; E. J. Hayward, 191S; G. Douglas, 1919; E. B.
Hamilton, 1920; W. E. Groves, 1921 and 1922.

Finance and Membership in Good Shape

The secretary-treasurer's report showed the asso-
ciation's finances to be in a satisfactory shape. The
membership now consists of 243 annual members and
11 life members. Reports were made by the chair-
men of the various committees, showing that a great
amount of work was accomplished during the past
year. The registration of plants is being put on a
very satisfactory permanent basis by cooperation with
the Canadian Council of Horticulture. Satisfactory
progress is being made toward the incorporation of
the association.

Following the reports, an address which evoked
much discussion was given by Herman Bartch, presi-
dent and manager of The W. W. Edgar Co., Waverly,
Mass., on Cyclamen Culture. The Cyclamen is a big
seller in Canada at Christmas, and is grown in large
quantities, some of the Montreal members being
noted for the quality of the plants produced. The
paper was, therefore, of great interest.

Tuesday Afternoon Doings

Tuesday afternoon was given up to the reading of
papers. Chas. H. Totty, Madison, N. J., read a paper,
given on page 413 of our last issue, and was followed
by F. Gilbert, of London, on "Rock Gardens," and Prof.
J. W. Crow, of Guelph, who spoke on "What Science
Can Do for the Gardener." He outlined some of the
work at the Ontario Agricultural College where con-
siderable experimental work had been carried on and
pointed out that the gardener and florist benefited
by the research work done.

The Reception of Montreal Florists Club

The reception held by the Montreal Gardeners and
Florists Club at Stanley Hall Tuesday evening was

a warm hearted affair. It gave the visitors an op-
portunity to get acquainted and they took advantage
of it. It aroused enthusiasm and interest during the
remainder of the convention. There was music, danc-
ing and refreshments. Generally, it was a get-
together gathering.

Wednesday's Sessions

The session Wednesday morning was devoted to
retailing, and was iu charge of the retail section.
The meeting opened with a burlesque with W. C.
Hall as the principal actor. He was presented with
a whitewash pail. Another gave him a parcel with
ferns, another a Cedar and when he had put it to-
gether and set the pail on a white pedestal an excel-
lent effect was achieved. W. C. Hall then gave a dem-
onstration on making up a bridal bouquet and a
quick method of arranging the ribbons. During the
fixing of flowers to the ribbons, the bouquet was put
in a vase instead of on the counter and the effect
could then be seen at a glance.

F. McKenna and Mr. LeMat made up a wreath aud
S. A*! McFadden a corsage and spray. S. A. Frost fol-
lowed with an extensive and instructive display of the
use of Cedar, Hemlock and common ferns. He advo-
cated use of these as they were cheap and looked
well in a spray or design.

S. A. McFadden gave a talk on the cost of doing
business. He referred to the fact that the use of
white flowers for funerals was decreasing and flow-
ers of all colors were taking their place. The grow-
ers are producing very few white Roses as compared
with a few years- ago. Baskets were becoming very
popular at funerals, .but will not replace wreaths,
appeared to be the general opinion.

Officers, Retail Section

The officers of the Retail Section were re-elected
for the ensuing year and are as follows : Chairman,
S. A. McFadden, Toronto ; vice-chairman, W. C. Hall,
Montreal, and secretary-treasurer, Mrs. Percy Wa-
ters, Toronto.

This session was too short for the many matters
of interest to be discussed. It was necessary to close
to participate in the drive over the mountain. This
was made by horse and carriage as no motor cars are
allowed in Mount Royal Park.1 The drive was made
to the outlook, which gives a view along the St. Law-
rence and over to the Green Mountains. An oppor-
tunity was then given to admire the beautiful gar-
dens of the Park Ranger. The guests were then
driven to the dock where the steamer of the Mon-
treal Harbor Commission was waiting to take them
down the harbor and inspect this ocean port with its
large dry docks and modern conveniences for ship-
ping.

Wednesday evening was another happy gathering
when the 25th annual banquet was held. Addresses
were made by several well-known florists. The toast
to "Canada" was taken care of by John H. Dunlop
and James McKenna. W. W. Gammage proposed the
toast to kindred societies and replies were made by
Roman Irwin for the S. A. F. ; Frank McKenna for
the Montreal florists and S. A. McFadden for the
Toronto Retail Florists Club.

The toast to Montreal was proposed by J. A. Neal,
of Toronto, and responded to by Aid. Sebeau, acting
mayor. H. Bartch proposed a toast to the C. F. G. A.
and it was responded to by C. J. Hay, of Brockville.

A Floral Feast

The following was the menu : Leaves of Galax, Con-
somme Rose, Radishes, Olives, Filet of Sole a la Daisy,
Breast of Chicken au Beurre Jasmine, Sweet Peas,
Potatoes Rissoleer, Salad Carnation, Biscuit Lily,
Gateaux Magnolias, Cafe Noir, Apollinaris, Cigars and
Cigarettes.

Another Sight Seeing Trip

The drive on Thursday was wonderful from a sight-
seeing and educative viewpoint. A route was laid
out covering 71 miles and times so that the points
of interest could be seen at each place. E. J. Hay-
ward and H. Eddy laid out the route and time.
Promptly at 9.30 the cars moved off. In the front
car was Mr. Hayward, President Groves and W. W.
(iammage. This car was decorated with streamers
and flowers like a bridal car and was followed by 41
other cars all crowded. These cars were numbered
and each person had to return to his own car, each
stop. This prevented any confusion. Visits were
paid to beautiful parks and private grounds includ-

ing the residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Smith. Drinks
(and luncheon) were provided at McDonald College.
Here Dr. Harrison, principal, was assisted bv Prof.
Bunting. F. Tawse, II. Howitt and Archie Walker,
of the Horticultural Department. Dr. Harrison spoke
of the work at McDonald College in aiding growing,
and President Groves of the C. F. G. A. acknowledged
the kindness of the college authorities in providing
such a bountiful repast.

More gardens were visited in the afternoon, includ-
ing those of It. B. Angus, C. Morgan, E. A. Ogilvie,
Lord Atholstan, greenhouses of Gamille Gratton,
through the Model City, greenhouses of Arthur Le-
gare and Victor Cardinal and at Cote de Neiges to the
greenhouses of McKenna, Ltd., where the visitors
were guests.

A return was then made to the Convention Hall
for the evening session.

Thursday Evening Session

The first paper was by Archie Walker and he had
three subjects. First he advocated putting holes in
the side of the pots near the bottom. These could
not get clogged up when put on a bench. Second, he
spoke of cutting Spiwea for Easter, and third of get-
ting a stock of Rambler Roses from cuttings. In
discussing what the C. F. G. A. could do for the
private gardener, Alex. Simpson urged a resolution
that the C. F. G. A. establish an employment bureau.
This was referred to the executive, with power to act.

Election of Officers and a Presentation

The election of officers followed, the results being
as follows: President, C. J. Hay, Brockville; first
vice-president, W. C. Hall, Montreal; second vice-
president, S. Kirk, Georgetown; secretary-treasurer,
H. J. Eddy, Montreal. Directors (three years) : F. Mc-
Kenna, S. A. McFadden and J. H. Taylor. (Two
years) : S. Jordon, R. Burrows and H. E. Groves.
(One year) : A. M. Terrill, Alex. Simpson and W. H.
Gray.

Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Groves were presented with a
silver service on a silver tray. .Mr. Groves as presi-
dent for two years has done a great deal of work and
this was to acknowledge that it was appreciated.

Windsor was chosen as the next place of meeting.
At Windsor are the shops of ex-Mayor Tuson and a
branch store of W. W. Gammage.

The Montreal florists presented E. J. Hayward
with a life membership as a token of appreciation of
the work done in organizing the convention so cred-
itably.

The thanks of the visitors were felt if not expressed
to Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Eddy, Mrs. F. McKenna and Mrs.
Wilshire in looking after the welfare of the ladies.

Friday's Activities

Friday morning the florists were driven to Rouge-
mont, where they were the guests of the management
of the Rouville greenhouses, of which Mr. McLaren is
proprietor and Mr. Smith, manager. Here they were
royally entertained. L. Waters endeavored to give
the visitors a bath but was in turn well soaked, and
had to retire as gracefully as possible under the
circumstances.

The party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Hall
on Friday night was a fitting climax to a great con-
vention. About 300 filled the spacious lawns. Rooms
in the large home were cleared and the younger vis-
itors danced. It was voted a great evening.

Convention Notes

The executive was given power to interview the
government regarding the sales tax.

Arrangements will be completed for incorporation.

The trade exhibits were excellent.

A crowd went from Toronto by boat, including
Tom Manton.

Tom was interested in two young ladies and when
he suddenly found himself going down the Lachine
Rapids he was so frightened that his hair stood on
end forcing his hat, presented to him at Peterborough
last year, into the river. Tom Manton was in the
one-horse shay going up the mountain when the shay
was overturned and the driver broke his leg. Tom
started for home sending back the following tele-
gram, which was read at the banquet : "Skipped out
of Montreal to save my life, as I have had nothing
but a chapter of accidents since leaving Toronto, and
I'm going home."

W. E. Groves stayed over in Montreal to address
the Rotary Club on Tuesday, Aug. 15, on "Say it with
Flowers, When and How."

Several stayed over in Montreal for Sunday. One
party motored to Plattsville. N. Y. In the party were
W. C. Hall, Geo. Hatcher, Gus Choquette, S. A. Mc-
Fadden, F. McKenna, Mr. McCarthy, Mr. and Mrs.
Le Mat. G. C. K.

All folks hate a kicker,

Most of us want peace;

Timely Hints on Rose Culture

By EBER HOLMES

MY attention has been called to an omission in
the article of July 22 in giving the propor-
tion of amrnoniated copper to use in spraying.
It should read, after the words, "then shake well ;"
use one gill to two gallons of water. While we have
used it as strong as is apparently advised in the
former article, it is not advisable to use at this
strength in general practice. It may be well to state
here that this spray should be used as a preventive
measure. It is of little use to spray after a house
has a bad dose of black spot, the damage is done then
and it is too late, as this disease attacks simultaneous-
ly and differs in this respect from mildew which is
progressive in its action.

Watch Out for Diseases

The only remedy for a bad case of black spot is to
dry off somewhat, clean up and start over again. It
is possible, however, to keep free from it by careful
watering, ventilating, spraying, etc., even with such
unseasonable weather as we are getting in many parts
of the country. We have had a cold, wet July with
little sun and, so far, August has been as bad. Roses
under these conditions need careful watching to keep
them clean and healthy. It is well to keep any prepa-
rations in stock that are to be used in fighting insect
pests or fungous diseases, for there is often delay in
getting a fresh stock if you run out and more damage
is done while you are waiting for a new stock than
the material costs. We have been using Hammond's
Grape dust to keep down mildew during this bad
weather, and it is working well. We find that whale
oil soap used in a soap ball and attached to the hose
(these can be got from the dealers in horticultural
goods) works well to keep down mildew and red
spider. We syringe well with the soap. When the
bushes are dry, we go over them with the bellows
with the grape dust and let it stay on for several days
until we get a good chance to syringe again when we
repeat the process. An an indication of what we are
getting, I may mention that today at noon, Aug. 11,
the thermometer stood at 66 deg. outdoors.

Columbia the Best Rose

We are fortunate in having varieties today that are
fairly immune from mildew and black spot, I con-
sider Columbia the best all round Rose that we have
ever had. It is never attacked by either of these
diseases so far as I have seen ; it- has a lot of good
points, as everybody can grow it ; the only fault is a
tendency to bull head a little when growing vigor-
ously, but this is not serious enough to offset its ad-
vantages, and seems to be worst in the Spring and
Fall. Ophelia is seldom bothered with mildew, but is
liable to spot if watering, etc., is not watched. But-
terfly is in the same class, so is Premier, all very
good with a little watching. When no fire heat is
used, they must have a free circulation of fresh, dry
air without draughts. It has been said that there is
little call today for white Roses, but we find that our
trade requires a goodly proportion of white. We are
trying out Angelus and, so far, it looks good. It
seems about like Ophelia as regards mildew, is apt
to be attacked but shakes it off. It is a good trait
of the Ophelia type that they will succeed in a lower
temperature than some others.

Time for Top Dressing

The plants that were cut down a month ago should
now have a dusting of bone meal put on and this
rubbed over lightly; this can remain a few days until
it moulds over and then a covering of manure may
be applied as for young stock. The bone and manure
can be put on at the same time if so desired, but if
the bone is put on in patches and the manure goes on
extra thick in places, there might be danger of burn-
ing the roots, but there is no danger if things are
done in the right way. Water liberally when needed ;
we may get some bright, sunny weather when water
will be used up much faster than has been the case
the last few weeks.

Keep everything clean and tie the plants up so as
to allow the air to circulate among them; keep all
weeds out from beds or walks. Finish the watering
as early in the day as possible now we are gettin"
towards the Fall, and have in the house as dry an
atmosphere as possible at night.

Time Your Crop by Pinching

It may be that you have too many flowers coming
along for your trade in September ; if so, go over the
smallest plants and pinch the flowers off, you will
probably get as good returns for fewer flowers of a
better quality, and you will build up your plants, so
that they will come in strong a little later.

The Eternal Heating Question

The question has been raised as to whether a man
should use fire heat during weather such as we have
had this Summer. There is no doubt of the value of
fire heat, but few growers are in a position to use it
now, especially in the face of the present coal situa-
tion. Those who have coal on hand and are reason-
ably sure of getting enough to last all Winter, will
use it, but how about the man who has only a little,
or who has none at all? He must for the present, try
to keep bis plants in as good and healthy a growing
condition as he can without fire. It has been cus-
tomary to start fire heat in New England from the
first to the twentieth of September, depending some-
what on local conditions. If we get a good Fall we
can go light on the coal pile, turning on steam for a
few hours nightly according to the weather. If we
cannot get the kind of coal we want, perhaps we can
change our apparatus, so we can burn some other
kind, or perhaps we can use oil; failing these things,
we may find a substitute in wood ; most of us have
had some experience along the line of substitutes.
I am not a pessimist, but we must look facts in the
face. As a former president of this country once
stated, "it is a condition and not a theory that- con-
fronts us." In case any one is so unfortunate as to
be shut off from all fuel supply he might run his
place up to Christmas, getting good returns, and then
he could shut down until Spring. With proper treat-
ment his plants would come in strong next Summer.
Whatever happens it pays to be prepared and to have
some plan worked out whereby the loss, if any, may
be minimized.

Lathyrus latifolius

The Everlasting Pea

REFERENCE has been made to this as being
serviceable to florists. To me it is most amazing
that the giant white variety, White Pearl, is not
a regular standby in every market, and with every
florist grower. Of course, it is not correct to class it
as a Sweet Pea ; it is a Lathyrus but beyond that it
has no affinity with the Sweet Pea Lathyrus odorata.
It has no perfume and will not cross with the Sweet
Pea.

V. Beeknian advocates the use of the common form
which is neither pink- nor purple, but for the florist,
the white is most important and then only the Pearl
variety. Even this is variable and whether one grows
a batch from seed or buys plants, there is certain to
be some much inferior to others.

I can remember when White Pearl was first intro-
duced some 20 years ago; the standards were about
2in. across, and a dozen open at one time. The raisers
(Hobbies, Ltd., I think) propagated it from cuttings,
but in latter days most of the stock is raised from
seed. It is grown in considerable quantities for the
London market, although it has to meet the competi-
tion of the Sweet Pea.

Some years ago I did a bit of selecting from a big
lot of market plants, with a view to getting the real
giant white and also a pure pink which showed a
tendency to crop out, but an unusual "disturbance"
compelled me to drop it. I'm hoping some day to see
the real Pearl again.

V. B. is, I fancy, rather apt to overstate the de-
velopment of the perennial or, as it is more popu-
larly known, the Everlasting Pea, because seedlings,
don't all grow so fast and often as not, if they are
transplanted to a second position for flowering after
giving them a shift in the seedling stage, they do not
flower that season.

The Everlasting Pea is impatient of transplanting
and the wise man will pot off seedlings when small
and plant out when large enough, where they are to
flower. Then, if he is ultra-wise he will grow on the
batch for two years, and having decided which is the
finest, rout out the rest and propagate.

Save for variety purposes or with a view to devel-
oping an improved form, I wouldn't grow the old
Lathyrus latifolius, but Pink Beauty is approaching
a good pink. There are a considerable number of
perennial Lathyrus embracing many colors but, so far
as I am aware, no one has got far with crossing them.

Seems there's plenty of opportunity for the "wiz-
ards" here — if they have patience and interest, greater
than financial desires. w.

"Friday Fishing Club"

The accompanying picture shows some of the mem-
bers of the "Friday Fishing Club," which each Friday
goes to Fire Island (N. Y.) on a fishing trip. On the
day on which this was taken the members caught 61
weakfish, the smallest of wliich weighed 4% lbs. and
the largest 9% lbs. E. J. Van Reyper, manager for
Geo. C. Siebrecht, 109 W. 2Sth St., N. Y. O, unfortu-
nately not appearing in this picture, is a member of
the club, and one of its most successful fishermen.

A Sob from the Subs at Home

We ought to be writing a Convention Ode or
something ; but what with seeing other folks going off
on vacations, and the high humidity, and the hens all
moulting and the weeds 3ft. high in the garden, and a
sick dog at home the best we can do — and with the
invaluable Ad Man as an accomplice at that — is to
perpetrate the following P«an of Protest, to wit :
Here's a pretty kettle o' fish !
Here's a pretty how-de-do !
The Boss has gone to Kansas C. ;
Gone the lady editor, too.

J. H. S., on his vacation

Leaves the New Y'ork news to us

(That is, to the cheerful Ad Man-
Lord, you oughta hear him cuss ! )

Reams of speeches from the Convention

Wait the editorial pen;
Comp. room foreman yells for copy ;

Callers beard us in our den.

Forty-seven duties beckon

All at once; no time for thought

Or selection. Yes, we reckon

Days and nights are all too short. ■

Railroad strikes, the fuel shortage,

Prohibition, Summer's heat —
Woes like these we have no time for,

When we're getting out this sheet.

The Sleuth at Work.- — The detective sat in a corner of the
station house exclaiming, "He's a thief, a scoundrel, a black-

Transcript.

Harking back to that live convention of the Kansas
State Florists at Fredonia on Aug. 3 and 4, we have
just learned of a rather unique preparation made for
out of town visitors. In a letter of July 26 to mem-
bers of the organization urging them to attend the
meeting, Secretary L. C. Bunch wrote, "When you
arrive at Fredonia any car bearing a 'Welcome Flo-
rist' sign is yours to command. Get in and direct the
driver to go wherever you will. This is an arrange-
ment made by the Commercial Club for your con-
venience. Make use of it."

Trade Notes

Aug 14. — The market opened up
slow today, the heat being intense. The
extremely warm weather continued all of
the past week and with it, a dry spell.
lTe have had in several weeks, little or
no rain. The week opens with quite a
few of the craft leaving this Monday,
Aug. 14, for Kansas City. The railroad
strike has caused quite a few to motor
their way there.

Trade is very slow. Some very fancy
white Asters are seen which find ready
sale; Gladioli are arriving in large num-
bers and special sales have been made
by many of the retailers. Leftovers have
been saved only by slaughter sales. Roses
are coming in freely, Columbia and But-
terfly leading. Leftover sales in this
line have been numerous; Roses, two doz.
for 25c; Gladioli, 25c. and 35c. per doz.,
were familiar signs among many of the
downtown retailers.

Saturdays have been very dull owing
to the department stores being closed all
day. These will shortly reopen. The lat-
ter part of this month will see many of
the theatres open, then comes school open-
ings, cooler nights and a general im-
provement in business.

Settlement of the coal and railroad
strikes is earnestly prayed for, then a
general reaction will take place.

Florists Club Meeting

The regular annual meeting of the
St. Louis Florists Club took place at
the greenhouses of the Wm. C. Smith
Wholesale Floral Co., Thursday, Aug. 10,
President Rowe in the chair, and 60 mem-
bers present. Three new members were
elected.

All arrangements were announced for
the special train to Kansas City on Mon-
day at 10.10. It was decided to get up
a new roster for the club in the form of
a folder with the names of the latest ad-
ditional members.

Prof. Irish spoke on the Aug. meeting
of the State Horticultural Society at
Sedalia, Mo. The members were also
addressed by Fred Ammann, who spoke
on the work he had been engaged in and
also on the coming floral show to be
held in St. Louis in November.

The feature of the meeting was the
election of officers for the ensuing year,
which resulted as follows: Frank Wind-
ier, president; Oscar Ruff, vice-president;
William C. Smith, treasurer; J. J. Ben-
son, trustee for three years; J. J. Beneke,
secretary.

After the meeting, cigars and refresh-
ments completed the afternoon's entertain-
ment. The next meeting in September will
take place at President Rowe's place with
a special invitation by him for the wives
and children of the members to attend
the meeting.

News Items

The ninth annual picnic given by the
Plant and Flower Growers Association
will take place Thursday, Aug 24 at Lake
Hill Park. The committee advertise a
general invitation and good time.

George Waldbart, for many years a
prominent West End florist and now re-
tired, has been sued for breach of prom-
ise. Mr. Waldbast is 67 years old and
denies all knowledge of the affair.

Young's, Inc., will shortly open at their
old stand on Olive and a new special
West End store at Delmare and Taylor
ave., a very prominent corner.

The advance guard from Evansville, Ind.,
were visitors in the downtown wholesale
district Monday morning. Some left Sun-
day by motor. Two cars will leave to-
night at 10.10, bound for Kansas City.

Montreal, Que.

The week ending Aug. 12 has been one
of great importance to those engaged in
horticulture and floriculture of the Do-
minion of Canada. Montreal has been
favored with men who are growers and
dispensers of all that is beautiful, men and
women whose business it is to care for
plants and flowers, the gifts we derive
from Mother Earth.

Florists and gardeners came hundreds of
miles, almost from coast to coast, to at-
tend the 25th annual convention of the
C. F. and G. A. The weather being
perfect, a very enjoyable time fell to
the lot of those participa/ting in the
hospitality of this great organization.

The welcome sent out by its officers
read as follows: "Twenty-five years of
unselfish labor on behalf of the only na-
tional horticultural association of Can-
ada, added to splendid preparations on
the part of the Montreal members is re-
sulting in what will be a record meet-
ing on Aug. 8. Thankfulness for a won-
derful building up all along the years,
enthusiasm on account of the present po-
sition of our profession, unbounded hope
for the future, will be the keynote of the
gathering. The comradeship, the coop-
eration and the inspiration of ,every-
one is wanted. We want this anniver-
sary to be history making and the officers
who are trying to serve you join in with
the Montreal workers in oue heartfelt
word of invitation and welcome, the word
is come."

And they' came, not only those of Can-
ada, but fellow members of the craft
from New York, Boston and other towns
over the border. You should have seen
Roman Irwin and his henchman, Will Ca-
hill, that first evening at the dance. They
are experts at the fox trot, one step, etc.
There were several other of our friends
there including Tom Manton, who has not
missed one convention since the first 25
years ago. But, of course, everybody
knows Tom. The auto, the steamer and
the railway each brought its quota, until
a record attendance was assured. M. R.

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

Retaliation Not Favored

However much Qu. 37 may be disliked,
there is at least one journal in England
devoted to nursery and market growing
interests, which is as rabidly against re-
taliation today, as it was in the days of
its former editor and proprietor. The
Fruit Grower, while constantly urging re-
stricted imports in times of plenty, so
that home growers should not be swamped
with foreign produce when their crops
were good, has always set its face against
tariffs and retaliation of any kind. Com-
menting on the American quarantine,
and the International Federation of Hor-
ticulture, the "Green Un" says that while
the British are right in agreeing to a com-
mon policy with the rest of the Federa-
tion, it is sincerely to be hoped that re-
gard will be paid to the danger which
Great Britain runs if it joins in the
"paying back in the same coin" idea with
which some countries appear to be pos-
sessed, to the exclusion of other solutions.

Evidently there are some people in Eng-
land who dislike retaliation and tariffs.
Maybe they'd think different after stay-
ing in America for awhile; at least there
are not a few in this trade who would go
up in the air if plant prohibition was re-
moved, and they were not born here
either.

Early Flowering Dahlias

According to a whisper, one ■ or two
friends are working with a view to de-
veloping a strain of Dahlias that will
flower early and be through with it before
the frost appears. Such a class of Dahlia
is badly wanted in the Northwest, where
short Summers and early Fall frosts are
the general rule.

There is no reason for supposing that
early flowering Dahlias should not be
forthcoming for growing in the cooler
regions. As we know, many sorts of
Dahlias planted dormant in late April
around New York will start blooming in
June, and if the heat is not too great,
bud blasting is not troublesome. It is
peculiar that the Dahlia, which is really
not a hot weather plant, should ramp away
and make buds which may or may not
develop; it all depends upon the tempera-
ture, when planted in this zone. In cooler
climates, Dahlias are usually slower in
bud development, although they may grow
as fast as here, so that it is August or
later before flowers appear. Actually, the
Dahlia is an early Fall bloomer, and in
England it is usually August or September
before a flower shows, even when roots
are planted. Green plants are most
favored.

But, as I have before mentioned, the
newer dwarf types, including Coltness
Gem, Peter Pan and the beautiful dwarf
bedding Cactus sorts are early even in
Scotland. The first named is blooming in
the Scottish parks in June, and I've had
the dwarf Cactus flowering in July in
Central England.

These types, worked along with Jean
Kerr and others that bloom early, would
doubtless ensure a strain that Minnesota
and around could revel in in July or
earlier.

The naturally late sorts, which also are
invariably too tall for any ordinary gar-
den, aren't wanted. The old time singles
used to be late and run 10ft., and now-
some of our breeders are giving us the
same habit in "big fellows." Cut 'em out;
we want Dahlias that will bloom at 3ft.

The Seed Question

It looks as if the senators and the con-
gressmen will do something with seeds
before they finish. Seemingly, there are
quite a lot of folks mixed up with poli-
tics who are seed experts or think they
are. Whether it's the farmers, the seed
growers or the bug hunting fraternity who
provide these politicians with the neces-
sary "dope," it is impossible to say. Some-
one is doing so, that's certain, and for
what reason, one has to keep guessing.
Anyway, one gets the impression that the
seed business is giving Congress a lot of
— well, I was going to say work, but per-
haps I ought to say provides Congress
with the opportunity for making work
for the seedsman. I suppose I ought to
include the florists also. Horticulturists,
generally, are a lot of "twisters" anyway,
according to the politician. Heaven be
praised that I never became a politician.

Of course, you all saw what Senator
Capper wants to do; whether he knows
what he is asking is another question.
He provides for a penalty of $5000 any-
way, and that's something definite to think
about. Must't forget the six months, by
the way.

Must confess I'm all "het up" by these
seed propositions and laws; I know some-
thing about Mendel's laws, and also just
a little in regard to what characterizes a
good strain and an ordinary one; that's
something I guess the senators and, I
think, some of the seed sellers don't know.

I'm just wondering what that 10c. a
pound duty on flower seeds means. There's
some little difference between a pound of
Nasturtiums and a pound of Begonia seed,
such as Blackmore & Langdon produce.
Ten cents spread on a pound of such seed,
which would probably supply the world
and then some for the other planets if
they needed it, wouldn't go far toward
helping the bonus for broken down ex-
soldiers like myself.

Street Flower Sellers

Among the multitude of journals that
come my way is a newspaper from a
southern English coast town. The town
probably has a population of 50,000 or
more, and during the war it was the jump-
ing off place of more men going to battle
than any other place in history. Inci-
dentally, many from this side of the ocean
"took off" from this place, which was
separated from war stricken France by
only a narrow strip of water. In these
days of peace, business is none too brisk
in this town, and a few men have appar-
ently gained a permit to sell flowers from
barrows.

One lordly individual ventured to write
to the local newspaper, protesting that
.these flower sellers were a nuisance, inas-
much that they prevented one drawing an
auto up to the footwalk in front of this,
that or the other shop.

What happened? Did the police take
the hint and give the flower vendors the
order of the boot? Not a bit of it, but
a small army of people used the same
news columns to hurl their opinions at the
critic, who, fortunately for himself, or
herself, did not disclose his or her identity.

With several hundred dead lying across
the channel, to say nothing of those killed
by air raids, the people of the town have
reason to remember the war and what
effect it had upon many.

What about the florists, you may ask?
Well, I happen to know that one nearby
just feels he has as much business as he
and his two sons can handle, and as he is
a nurseryman and grower, and just that
sort of a man, I'll wager that he would
load up one of those barrows with flowers
in order to help some poor devil, if asked
to.

Cocoanut Fibre

This is a line that is still much in
favor among horticulturists in Great
Britain. The demand is regular, and at
least one London firm usually has a
stock of about 100 tons on hand. It is
used for mixing with special composts,
for bulb growing in pans and in propa-
gating and forcing pits. The fiber is the
cleanings from the coir fiber taken from
Cocoanuts, and because it is clean and
capable of absorbing six times its own

weight of water, it has always been in
demand. At one time it was thought
that its use by gardeners and growers
was dying out, but although more "or
less denied it during the war years, it
would appear that the call for this fiber
is now greater than ever.

One may peruse many domestic cata-
logs, however, and never find it ; I only
know of one, but at $2 a bushel it's out
of my reach.

Kalmia latif olia at Ascot

Everyone knows that Ascot is the
great English racing center, where all
who can, make a point of being present
on Derby Day. A Hanwell (London),
Nurseryman, who did a lot of decorating
at Ascot, used Kalmia latifolia in quan-
tity. Queen Mary was so taken with the
beauty of the Mountain Laurel that she
decided then and there to use the flowers
for decorating the tables at the birthday
dinner of the Prince of Wales. Unfortu-
nately this dinner was canceled owing
to the assasination of Sir Henry Wilson.

If England's leading lady can fall in
love with America's most beautiful shrub,
surely we may consider it worthy of
adoption as our national flower.

Going the Whole Hog

Senator Gooding tells the House that
if he had his way he would build a tariff
wall that would exclude foreign labor and
all merchandise producible in this country.

According to his figures, we are over-
producing lots of things, yet we are usu-
ally given to understand that the more we
produce the better trade is and the
cheaper we may live.

Personally, I haven't yet found that
cheap method of living, but I'm under no
delusions as to what would happen if we
had a tariff wall against imports of all
kinds; we get a pretty obvious lesson in
regard to many plants. As the Heed
World recently puts it, the effect of high
tariffs is to push up the price of domestic
products to such a point that the foreign
product can again compete. There surely
is a limit to this kind of thing unless the
tariff expounders want to develop Soviet-
ism. I imagine that even in this free
country there is a limit to the patience
of the people.

I might mention that the cutlery manu-
facturers and importers are dead against
the prohibitive tariff on these goods.
Duties of 105 to 645 per cent are proposed
on some lines, including pruning tools,
shears, etc. A pocket knife worth 25c.
will, under the new tariff, cost up to $1,
but, may I ask, will the quality improve?
Certainly not if the policy of turning out
goods that have no stability is pushed
further.

My wife bought a window shade; in
five weeks it went wrong. Wood being so
scarce (?) the roller was made of rolled
paper, and of course couldn't hold the
spring tension.

Pure Canadian Rye

This isn't horticultural, but it's good.
Newark, N. J., was recently favored with
elaborate circulars through the mails of-
fering "pure Canadian Eye" at $3 a bot-
tle. Many bit on, including the prohibi-
tion agent who sent off $1S in the hope
of nailing a bootlegger's nest. He got his
six bottles, but when he uncorked one
and proceeded to pour out, a sound like
pebble instead of liquid proceeded from
the glass. Rye it surely was, and pos-
sibly Canadian, but the sort one gives
to chickens,

On the Office Force

The whole office force was busy "mak-
ing up" the current issue. Some of the
city letters were late; the boss and bis
first assistant were scrapping as usual as
to which should be given the remaining
page of the last form; the foreman of
the composing room nad just announced
that if the rest of the copy wasn't in in
ten minutes it would mean $25 of over-
time; two cuts were overdue from the
engravers, and all in all it was the apex
of a truly hectic afternoon. And what
did that blessed ad man do but come stroll-
ing into the office (he 7ms to get his
makeup finished early) and with a dis-
arming smile ask: "If you had to crowd
out a column of Woolgatherer's comments
to make room for something else, would
you say that you had demoralized the
issue?"

Do you wonder he stayed out of sigh*
for the next two hours?

What's New in the Flower Shops

IN HOUSTON, TEXAS

BEFORE continuing under the above caption, the
writer wishes to remind the reading public that
some several centuries ago a noted sage poured
forth the wisdom, "There is nothing new under the
sun." And for decades of generations that remark has
gone unchallenged.

This humble reporter does not wish to rise and
proclaim that he has found something "new." Rather
the following article is offered as "What Is in the
Flower Shops" in Houston ; and if it should per-
chance contain an idea, or suggestion, new to some
of us, the object of the article will be attained.

A survey was made of three of the leading local
stores, two of them in the downtown business district,
and one of them in the center of a very high-class
residential section — and doing an excellent business
there. The success of the latter store is due to the
fact that it has harmonized itself with its surround-
ings. In appearance it is not a com-
mercial building nosing itself into an
exclusive residential district ; but it is
a thing of beauty adding attractive-
ness to its location. There are three
large greenhouses, placed side by side,
running back from the store, the out-
side of one extending parallel to the
sidewalk. But the entire basework of
the greenhouse, to a height of about
3ft.. is covered with a luxuriant and
well kept Privet hedge. Nothing but
the shining glass rises to meet the eye
of the critical visitor. The store it-
self is clone in gray stucco, paneled in
brown stained wood. The structure is
quite beautiful, but it is rendered dou-
bly attractive by a profuse growth of
Boston Ivy, which has almost covered
the entire building. The show window
is about 10ft. long, and 3ft. deep, with
a background of lattice work. Inside
the window, at the time of the writer's
visit, was a bright display of the vari-
colored foliage plants, set off against a
small row of delightfully fresh and
cool looking Boston ferns. During the
Winter, and cooler months, more flow-
ers are used : but Texas Summers al-
most prohibit the use of flowers in
window decorations. Below the win-
dow, a long box filled with Sprengeri
fern and Geranium plants added much
to the attractiveness and general ap-
pearance of the exterior. On two sides
of the building, which is located on
the corner, there is a small expanse of
lawn extending between the walk and
the curb, which is the best kept and
most beautiful lawn in that vicinity.
About every 20ft. or 30ft., a huge
Phcenix palm rises to lend dignity and
grace to the plot.

By adapting itself to its location, by becoming a
part of the community in which it is located in a
way to make the residents feel proud of its presence,
this business enterprise has secured the good will of
its neighbors, and has developed a very excellent
quality of business. The writer feels that this is
especially commendable in the face of modern ten-
dencies to oppose the erection of business houses in
residential districts. Some businesses are, and can
be, desirable.

Of the two downtown stores visited, one of them
had just finished the putting in of a big Summer
window. There was the usual pool of water filled
with goldfish, and surrounded by rocks, and greens
and bark. But, in addition, there was a little Summer
cupola, with a couple of dolls therein, spending a
quiet afternoon chatting (supposedly). Leading from
the cupola was a gravel drive, extending across a
rustic bridge into the woods beyond. Under the
bridge flowed the stream of water that fed the pool,
and just at the brink, where there was a slight fall,
was a beautiful reproduction of the statue, "Psyche
at the Pool." About the edges of the pond were arti-
ficial alligators and turtles, placed in secluded and
marshy corners in a very realistic manner. The back-
ground of the window consisted of a beautiful paint-
ing of a woodland scene, so placed and constructed
that it seemed but a continuation of the scene in the
foreground. The lattice work at the top and side of

the window was covered with artificial Oak and
Autumn leaf sprays, and then, for the tropic woods
effect, the long green Uva sprays were hung from
the ceiling. A little bird house in one corner, and
several doves and butterflies (artificial) flitting
about gave additional impression of life to the win-
dow. The unusual feature was that all the greens
were growing in soil. They were not in pots, but im-
bedded in about Sin. of earth, which had been brought
and put in the back half of the window. This innova-
tion guarantees the security and freshness of the
plants for several weeks, and makes them much easier
to water. A couple of large window cards bearing
suggestive F. T. D. messages completed the display.

At the other store was a beautiful window of the
large California Marigolds. These were arranged in
three baskets, all tied with gold ribbon, and
placed upon pedestals draped in shimmering, vari-

to go into details about the piece he had before him.
It was the official funeral offering of the Ku Klux
Klan of Texas. As shown in the "accompanying pic-
ture, it consists of a huge crescent-shaped wreath of
flowers, mostly white, surrounding a cross of red.
The central cross, made of the red Ruscus to get the
flaming effect, is tipped at the three top points with
white K's. done in white chenille. The tie is of red,
white and blue chiffon and always contains the name
and number of the Klan of which the deceased was
a member. Houston has the distinction of being Klan
Number 1 of Texas, and of being the source of this
funeral piece. It was designed and offered to the
Ku Klux Klan by Carroll the Florist, and was ac-
cepted. It is now heing used in place of the old white
cross with red tips, generally in use elsewhere. The
writer considered 'this about the "newest" thing in
any Houston flower shop! C. E. W.

colored silver cloth. A background of Roebeleuii
palms gave a fine, light, artistic setting to the whole;
while in the center of the window, in front of the
huge, decorative basket, was a gold and blue window
card inscribed with a verse about "Golden Flowers
for the Golden Anniversary."

Inside the store, however, was the greatest sur-
prise. Here, though it was mid-July in Texas, one
was greeted by an astonishingly profuse array of flow-
ers. Tall floor pedestals filled with Gladioli, which
bad not been just stuck in, but arranged in Dazey
holders, added more grace and beauty to the interior
than could any other possible arrangement of flowers.
And everywhere were baskets of flowers. These bas-
kets, on closer observation, proved to be not so very
expensive, nor so very elaborate; but they were strik-
ing combinations of all colors, and plentiful profu-
sions of such flowers as Zinnias, Marigolds, Coral
Vine, Feverfew, Pinks, Verbena, and other small gar-
den varieties. The effect of this display was mar-
velous, in that it was so appealing to the general
public who are under the impression that there are
no flowers in the Summer time. This florist finds that
baskets made up of garden flowers not only fill up
one's store, and render it attractive at a very small
cost, but they sell very readily and are quite profit-
able.

In the designing room of this store, however, came
another surprise. And the designer himself (Mr. Car-
roll, who is also the proprietor) was sociable enough

Flowers as Nerve Cure

Much attention is being paid to the
nervousness of women. Two popular
books on this subject are "The Nervous
Housewife" and "Outwitting Our
Nerves." Get a copy of either of them;
place it in your window. Make a sign :
"Soothe Them with Flowers."

Avoid Too Many Capitals

Florists may not have realized that
too many capital letters are hard to
read. The eye follows curves easier
than angles. Experiments have been
made showing that captions in ordi-
nary letters, using capitals only for
names, are sometimes 15 per cent eas-
ier to read than when all in capitals.
Make your signs easy to read and tell
the newspaper you want your adver-
tisements easy to read too.

Suggest Flowers for the Home

Think of the countless well-paid ar-
tisans— mechanics, carpenters and oth-
ers, who could afford to buy flowers
occasionally but have never got
started. Also the many people to whom
blue prints are of interest because they
are interested in home building. Ap-
peal to all of these by having a blue
print made of floor plans of a home,
locating on this drawing — as on the
dining room table, the windows and
so on — the different places where flow-
ers could be placed to advantage.

Appeals to Motorists

This may be a bit undignified for some florists, but
it has the advantage of being unusual. Put into the
window an inner tube that has a hole in it, or a patch
upon it and a sign :

For. Blowouts — Flowers from

Urging the Surprise Gift

Put into the window a jack-in-the-box, or some of
those toys that blow out into unexpected shapes.
Have a sign :

For the Surprise That's Unexpected

Let it be (name of flowers) for this week-end.

Where There's a Will

(ret a legal-looking document to represent a will.
Fill in with writing to read : "Mrs. Anyman's Wife
(name of your city.)." Mount it on a card that also
says :

Leave It to Tour Wife.
She'll Tell You Flowers from
(Name of your store.)
Are Always Welcome.

Delphiniums Par Excellence

As was announced last year, visitors to
^°M°n shows were startled by exhibits
oi Delphiniums from an amateur breeder
who during the past 12 years, has been
working for certain ideals, which include
spikes of bloom 4ft. long, irrespective of
foliage and stem, with individual flowers
3m. or more across.

A well known writer who visited Wrex-
ham reports that the "Samuelized" Del-
phiniums are even more wonderful grow-
ing than when exhibited. A variety named
•Joy Bells has "pips" 3% in., while in
Advancement, over 3% ft. of bloom were
measured on a spike.

Mr. Samuel presumably has sold none
ot his specially select seed, but it would
appear that at least one person in America
has some plants raised from Mr. Samuel's
second grade seed. This party is credited
with asking what on earth can the first
grade be it such wonders come from the
inferior grade?

It is interesting to know that there are
still raisers who have ideals ahead of any
present day Delphiniums. So many reallv
nice things may be found in a batch of
good seedlings that it would easily be pos-
sible to have as many varieties as we have
among Peonies, Gladioli and Dahlias,
despite the fact that the Delphinium is
wholly confined to blue and creamy shades

A Tickler System for Anniversary
Dates

Circular of Inquiry Brings Nearly 100

Per Cent Replies, and Follow Up

Brings Much Business

The A. C. Floral Co. of Arkansas City,
Kan., is now enthusiastically following
up a new idea introduced several months
ago, for obtaining anniversary dates of
customers. Moreover, the outline of the
plan has appealed to many other florists
who are adopting and adapting it to their
problems.

The A. C. Floral Co. sent out early this
year to a list of 500 a circular printed
letter, ordinary type, not imitation type-
writer style. This asked that the recipient
note on the back thereof any wedding and
birthday anniversaries of family or
friends and a stamped and addressed re-
turn envelope was inclosed. The letter
read as follows:

We are mailing out today several
hundred letters to our friends and pa-
trons asking them to assist us in com-
piling a calendar of Wedding Anniver-
saries and Birthdays. If you will kind-
ly write on the back of this letter the
month and date of your wedding- an-
niversary, the date and month of your
birthday, also the birthday or wedding
anniversary of any lof your friends or
relatives that you can recollect just
now, that you feel might be of interest
to us and mail same to us in the en-
closed self-addressed and stamped en-
velope same will be appreciated. Tou
will observe it is the month and day we
are asking for and not the year of these
happenings.

Thanking you very kindly for your
trouble and assistance and hoping that
we may be able to reciprocate some day
we are "<*••>'.

Respectfully yours,

A. C. FLORAL CO.

The response was large, beyond expecta-
tions, of .500 to whom it was sent, some
4o0 answering. Many of them entered
several anniversaries, the largest list not-
ing 12 birthdays and three wedding an-
niversaries, by the days of the month.
JN early 800 dates were received in all.

The company immediately followed up
the idea, entering the dates and addresses
two days before each date. The blotters
with blanks left for the day of month
served as reminders, and being useful
were not likely to be thrown away Thev
read as shown below.

The response to these reminders has
been extraordinary. In more than one-
third of the cases, the recipients have
bought flowers with which to "Say it"
the average order has been about $3 and
—what is said to be best of all— many
ot those who order in response to the
reminder are people who had not previ-
ously often bought flowers.

Not only do the people buy flowers
but they take the trouble to thank the
company tor the reminders, or to drop
in and express their delight in their newly
cultivated habit of buying flowers.

The company is continuing its search

White Antigonon Proves Popular

C. W. Eichling of the Avenue Floral
Co., New Orleans, La., announces that the
first season sales of his new white Antigo-
non leptopus have been unusually good
and that the plant has created something
like a sensation when shown in Texas and
California.

The mother plant is four years old, but
it was not until this year that Mr. Eich-

ling succeeded in developing it to the
point where it could be put on the market.
The original plant was a chance seedling
which, instead of retaining the natural
coral coloring of the species, produced
blooms devoid of color of any kind. The
white variety can be propagated only from
cuttings as the seeds do not come true.

This white Antigonon is a decided nov-
elty in the blooming vine line, and as such
can be used most effectively throughout

Eichling's New White Antigonon leptopus. See text.

the South. Northern cities, however, will
never be able to use the plant, as it is
not hardy enough to stand the climate
above the Mason and Dixon line, it being
a strictly tropical or semi-tropical climb-
er. C. J. M.

[Antigonon leptopus is a Mexican
climber related to the Knot Weed, Polygo-
num, and in the tropical regions of South
America is exceedingly common. It
flourishes amazingly, too, in Florida, and
we may mention that the Royal Palm Nur-
series o£ Oneco, Fla., have long recom-
mended it for covering ugly fences and
corners. With its heart shaped foliage
and bright pink flowers it is attractive
for months. Only during the coolest period
in Florida is it out of flower.

In northern regions it is only possible
in a fairly warm greenhouse, when it gives
little or no trouble. It grows vigorously,
and its tuberous root is fully perennial.
Whether it would pay to grow commercial-
ly, one cannot say, probably not, save
on the roof of a warm fern house. Only''
rarely have we encountered it in private'
establishments.

We might add that a white form, A.
leptopus albus or albiflora, has long been
known to cultivation. Bailey refers to
albus as having white or nearly pure
white flowers, and illustrates a portion
of the vine as grown under glass. Johnson
refers to it as albiflora introduced in
England in 1888.

We may assume that the albus form is
a natural break, under cultivation, and is
not found in the wild state. It is pos-
sible, too, that the alba form has been
lost to cultivation, even in Europe, where
tropical plants are not now grown so
largely as before the war. Under the cir-
cumstances, Mr. Bidding's discovery is
of importance. His stock may be the only
one in existence, for we have failed to
find it offered, either as plants or seed.
The pink form, however, is easily ob-
tainable.— Ed.]

Aug. 12. — When in Jamestown just
across the bay, today, and having a short
time to spare, I made a call at Samuel
Smith's Sons two places. While they have
a local trade at the store on Narragan-
sette ave., much of the stock which is
varied, is shipped away or sent over the
road by motor delivery truck.

At the new range of glass or the hill,
I found all hands busy potting on Cycla-
men, last shift; they are fine stock. A
house of Carnations only a few weeks
housed, are very promising.

A block of Spirsea Queen Alexandra
in the field, we were told, are wintered
in the open, protected only by a sprinkling
of marsh hay. A block of Solanums will
shortly be potted up.

The firm this week received a carload of
flower pots from the A. H. Hews Co. Re-
potting of a bench of Begonia Chatelaine
has been delayed awaiting their ar-
rival.

One of our gardeners has been work-
ing up a stock of a variegated Solanum
from cuttings, seedlings proved to be al-
binos, refused to grow, hence propagation
is slow. The general effect reminds one
of Enonymus radicans vegeta. The
fruit is red when mature, earlier, it also
is variegated. A. McL.

A Bachelor's Bouquet

The effectiveness of window displays is
certainly a selling art which our New
York florists appreciate, and was wonder-
fully brought out in a novelty displayed
in one of our Broadway shops recently.
He had arranged what lie termed a
"Bachelor" bouquet, made of cigars and
cigarettes and clay pipes. It was of good
size and had alternate rows of cigars and
cigarettes in circular formation, and the
clay pipes were raised in the center to
take away from the stiffness of the Co-
lonial setting. Six clay pipes were used,
but I really could not say how many
cigars and cigarettes were in the circles.
Around the bouquet he had the Colonial
fancy lace paper with a yellow ribbon
frill to give it a soft touch. This was
gathered around the lower row of cigars
allowing just a little of the lace paper to
show. There were also streamers of this
same yellow ribbon. The ribbon was of
gauze, and the streamers were of good
length. In addition to this novelty he
also displayed fancy lace hats, gracefully
dented, and in these pockets he had ar-
ranged yellow and blue garden flowers.
Asparagus vines gave the finishing touches
to the hats, with a yellow bow ornamen-
tation to harmonize with the color scheme
of blue and yellow. At the back of the
window he had curtains of soft yellow silk
drawn to one side with blue ribbon.
Kentia palms and Boston ferns were
prettily placed in convenient groups at
the back.

Native Orchids

A pretty, window display consisted of
native orchids. Two shades of yellow
were used. The stems of the orchid are
quite rigid, and for this reason he grouped
these two colors in a low bowl contain-
ing a flower holder. The bowl was of
light blue with a silver cast, and blended
beautifully with the two shades of yel-
low of the orchid. He also used taller
vases and grouped them in the window
in such a way as to give the setting a
dainty effect, using gray linen crash for
the window foundation and drapes at the
side of the window. No greens were used.
But to break the set eflect of the vases
he placed small corsage bouquets in con-
venient spots, which gave the window a
most attractive appearance.

Flower Vases

Speaking of vases, don't you feel a sort
of gratitude when you handle vases that
seem well suited to hold flowers? Ac-
tually, in the majority of eases, vases are
bought to hold flowers, but the tapering
base vase should not be used, for it gives
very little space for stems, and when flow-
ers with stout stems are put in vases of
tapering design the stems are often so
contracted as to cut off the supply of
water and cause them to wilt. I have
found the Japanese vases, especially those
of antique design, are very serviceable as
well as graceful in outline. Then the vases
with the bulging sides with less breadth
at the mouth than in the middle are
always useful, because they keep the
flowers they contain from spreading. You
may have a collection of vases of expensive
wares, but you may feel that none are
more attractive as actual flower con-
tainers than those of the transparent
glass. Iridescent glass or glass of a
delicate blue, yellow or green or mauve
is most attractive, but you should con-
sider the color of the flowers before put-
ting them in vases of tinted glass. This
might mar the entire effectiveness of a
window display, for a shade clashing with
the flowers can very readily be overlooked
when planning a window display.

A Window Quarry Garden

I saw recently what I think might be
termed a quarry garden of the Bahamas,
for in it were coral branches, pink and
rose and bits of purple, which emerged
like small trees from a sand and shell
surface. On top of this garden white
Pond Lilies were placed in groups. This
quarry garden was oblong and of good
size, for it took up nearly the entire
window space. It also held some small
ornaments and small plants. Smaller gar-
dens, each varying in design and placed
in different raised parts of the window,
completed a very effective display.

The Window Display Proposition

All will agree that the retailer who
most successfully displays his flowers,
plants and novelty designs from time to
time is the one who is prosperous, be-
cause display is the silent salesman. When
you look at the fundamentals, the chief
values of the window displays are to gain
the attention of the prospective customer.
In order to secure the most productive
results from window displavs one needs

to plan ahead definitely a schedule of
what he is going to show. Never let your
display grow stale. I have seen windows
which have remained unchanged for
weeks, and they have lost all appeal to
the passerby. The public wants variety
and freshness, and the way to achieve
this is to change the displays often. Ar-
ranging a window is just like fixing the
store. Do not have too much in it, nor too
little. One is as bad as the other. I also
believe that it is false economy when
you economize on your window displays,
for it is bound to react on your business.

During the Summer months, a good
many of us do not believe in too elaborate
window displays, but as little old New
York has so many tourists, it pays to
make the window display as attractive
as it is possible to do in the average
limited space.

Blue Lace Flower

Editor The Florists Exchange:

In your issue of July 15 I read with a
great deal of interest the experience of
"H. J." in trying to raise Blue Lace
Flower. This year I tried the Blue Lace
Flower. I think every seed germinated
and the plants came along fine until I
transplanted them when they all died
but two. These two plants are set in a
bed of annual Gypsophila bordered by
pink Phlox Drummondii; the bed is a beau-
tiful sight. The reason these two plants
lived is undoubtedly because they were
the last two in the seed bed and I lifted
them very carefully, dirt and all. The
plants that died wilted half way up the
stem and the tops bent over to the
ground. Your suggestion of sowing in
small pots is a good one and I shall try
that next year and will also sow them in
the open where they are intended to
bloom, for they are worth the extra care
needed. A florist friend raised a number
of plants a year ago, but they went bad
when set out in the open. — F. G. W., Pa.

New York Botanical Garden

Annual Report

This 100 page volume deals with of-
ficial doings of the Director and his va-
rious assistants. The work of planting
in the gardens is exhaustively dealt with,
while the operations in the herbarium
and museum and the membership and fi-
nancial reports indicate that the garden
is active at all times. The enormously
lengthy list of bulletins and horticultural
periodicals that are kept on file suggest
that the library at the New York Botani-
cal Garden is by no means a small affair;
these journals are received from all parts
of the world. The garden appears to be
in an excellent financial condition. On
the year's work a cash balance of over
§45,000 is on hand, and all told something
over one million dollars is available to
the trustees of the garden.

Here is an illustration, selected from the September-October Advertising
Service Bulletin of The Florists Exchange, which every retailer can use most
effectively in his advertising of flowers by wire.

A man in Portland, Maine, ordered
flowers one afternoon at two o'clock,
and they were delivered to his wife
in Portland, Oregon, the same day
at eleven in the morning. Our
flower delivery by telegraph actu-
ally beats the sun across the day.
Remember that we deliver flowers

Making Pillows Different

Of all designs which the florist is called
upon to make probably none are as hard
to execute artistically as the conventional
pillow. Custom usually dictates that there
must be a word "plunked" into the middle
and then surrounded by flowers.

This word may be on a bed of flowers or
on a piece of ribbon, but it is usually
placed straight across the design or at an
angle. When there are to be several pil-
lows for one funeral, this makes a same-
ness of design that is neither desirable
nor indicative of artistic ability.

The design illustrated herewith shows
a simple way of varying a pillow design
by making a bow of ribbon and placing in
the right hand corner of the piece. The
top heavy effect which this is apt to make
is balanced by the cluster of colored flow-
ers and green in the lower left hand cor-
ner.

It is really much easier to make a pil-
low of this design, and while you won't
want to use this method every time, I am
certain that after you make several in
this manner you will want to make more.

News Notes

W. H. Kruse, retailer of St. Louis,
Missouri, visited Washington last week
en route to Baltimore, Atlantic City and
New York. He came in his Cadillac auto-
mobile and spent three days touring
around Washington.

William F. Berkowitz of Philadelphia
called at some of the stores. Among other
recent visitors were H. G. Frey, man-
ager of the greenhouse supply department
of the McC'allum Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa.,
and Mrs. Frey.

William F. Glide of Gude Bros. Co. will
be unable to attend the convention in
Kansas City this year due to his mem-
bership on the District of Columbia rent

commission requiring his close application
to Government business. However, he
will be represented at the convention by
his three children, Amelia, Granville and
Ernest Gude. Mrs. Ernest Gude, wife of
the latter, is also of the party. Mr. Gude
some time ago had a special invitation ex-
tended him by the Canadian Horticultural
Society to attend its convention at Mon-
treal, Canada, but he was forced to send
his regrets for the same reason.

Another Ford victim is Arthur New-
man of Shaffer's Flower Store, for that
gentleman has provided himself with a
brand new uptodate sedan and all the
fixin's and now proposes to motor to
Maine. He will stop off (punctures and
auto breakdowns excepted) at various
cities along the line of travel and will

At the Rotary Club's second annual
flower show, C. Edward Jones, superin-
tendent of Albany schools, won the sweep-
stakes prize for a great collection of wild
flowers. The show was for amateurs only,
and according to the judges the collection
shown by Mr. Jones was truly a remark-
able one, embracing about 30 species. The
prize, a silver cup, was offered by David
Tisher for the best collection of flowers
in the show. The judges were Louis
Menaud, Edward P. Tracy and Jared S.
Horton, and the accompanying picture
shows these well known members of the
trade and Wm. C. Gloeckner presenting
the cup to Mr. Jones. Mr. Gloeckner
served as chairman of the committee re-

devoted to flowers, including Asters,
Dahlias, Gladioli, Roses, annuals and per-
ennials.

News Notes

The seasonal dullness has made it
possible for local florists to visit around
a little, and also take vacations. There is
little business, and flowers were never
more plentiful.

Geo. Clarke is erecting a concrete build-

News Items

The Summer season is with us, and
there is very little doing with the ex-
ception of a funeral once in a while,
which calls for some flowers.

The fanners are bringing in the Gla-
diolas by the wagon load and selling them
as low as 2c. apiece. Asters are plenti-
ful and can be obtained for lc. apiece,
and even at that price they are going
begging.

H. N. Hoffman, who has sold his plot
of land where his greenhouses stood, cor-
ner of Clinton and Hoffman, has removed
them to upper Hoffman on the Bridgman
Farm, which he bought several years ago.
He has put up one of the finest places
around this section. He also has added
two new houses, each 35ft.x200ft. The
A. G. N. Co. supplied the material.

The business has been incorporated and
capitalized with 875,000 and embraced
his son, Allen Hoffman, who just reeently
got married, and his nephew, Brooks
Hoffman, also a young married man, just
returned from his wedding trip. The place
is not all finished yet.

Elmira was visited by a severe hail
storm Aug. 8: the hail was almost as
large as pigeon's eggs. The U. S. Cut
Flower Co. at Elmira Heights suffered
the most, as the damage to glass amounted
to $500. No reports have been heard from
other growers in Elmira, but one grow-
er's greenhouse in Big Flats has almost
been demolished.

Senator Seymour Lowman, president
of the TJ. S. Cut Flower Co., sustained the
loss of his cottage at Glenora, N. Y. S.
H. Noble, who occupied the cottage,
through some explosion of an oil stove,
unfortunately lost his wife. Her body
was found the next day in the burning
debris. R. K.

General News

Aug. 14. — At present Roses and
Carnations are quite scarce; Carnations
are very small, due to the heat. Garden
flowers are fine; wonderful varieties of
Gladioli and Asters, too, are coming fine.
Sweet Peas are about over, but a little
Swainsonia takes their place.

All the shops seem attractively decorat-
ed these days; plenty of time allowed to
decorate windows and counters. Business
is rather dull this w-eek, wholesale houses
as well as retail.

The Palmer Conservatory, America's
most beautiful shop, is a wonderful sight
these hot days; blooming plants, of course,
are scarce, but healthy green ferns, palms
and other foliage plants surrounding a
huge fish pond with running water are

much enjoyed by visitors, many out of
town among thein.

Edward Stratmeyer of Sandiford's is
gone on a vacation in Canada; later is
going to Boston and New York.

Miss Beulah Slattery of Palmer's spent
her holiday at the Summer home of
D'Arcy's. Crystal Beach. Joe Speidel,
shipping clerk, is enjoying short motor
trips.

Miss Bessie Bellanca's new Studebaker
car is a dream; she is very proud of it
and makes florists of Buffalo think she is
doing some business. She is quite a girl
at the races; some of her "tips" are good,
but the others!

Miss D. Newland is enjoying a much
needed vacation motoring East.

Misses D'Arcy and Slattery expect to
attend the Florists' Show at Syracuse
this Fall.

The McCallum Co. of Pittsburgh are
opening a fine wholesale store in the
near future.

George Mangellay of Quality Flower
Shop, expects to go on his vacation to
Oil City and Erie, Pa. His shop is very
fine these days with great showings of
Gladioli.

ilr. Oliver of Kastings is away this
week for a much needed rest. Oliver is
a popular fellow at the wholesale house.

News Notes

Miss Anna Griffith of South Main
ave. has returned from an automobile trip
to Atlantic City.

Miss Margaret Lynch of Yanston and
Moran, has returned from a motor trip to
New York and Boston and Atlantic City.

C. W. Baldwin reports a heavy sale on
ferns.

Business during the past week has been
very slow; in fact, slower than any week
this Summer; as a result, stock of all
kinds is plentiful.

The Misses Gertrude and Dorothy
Schultheis have returned after a month's
tour to the West Indies; the trip must
have been wonderful as they sure gained
many pounds.

The following Scranton florists who are
Elks extend a greeting to all brother Elk

State Convention in Scranton Aug. 21
to 24, to call and make their stores their
headquarters while in Scranton: W. J.

Club News

A brief business session was called
in the afternoon by Vice-President T. B.

MeClintoek. The coming Fall flower show
in November was the principal topic of
the meeting. Just about then, who comes
in his flivver, but our worthy president,
B. E. Cokely, late, but welcome. After a
few remark's, Mr. MeClintoek turned the
chair over to Pres. Cokely. The latter,
after paying back to Mr. MeClintoek his
remarks, insisted on his continuing the
meeting.

Miss Gertrude Schultheis was appointed
to solicit funds for the Anna Jarvis me-
morial fund.

The club will present Chas. Grakelow
of Philadelphia with a handsome basket on
the opening night of the Elks State Con-
vention, Aug. 21-24.

By motion, the society will select the
next meeting place of the club. A rising
vote of thanks was tendered Mr. and Mrs.
T. B. MeClintoek, Mr. and Mrs. J. T.
Cokely and Mr. and Mrs. MacDonald.

Club Outing

The second outing of the club was
held at Falls, Pa., Wednesday, Aug. 9.
It proved to be one of the most enjoy-
able and successful affairs in the history
of the club. The members and their
friends were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Mac Donald, Mr. and Mrs. T. B. MeClin-
toek, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Cokely at their
cottages. The surroundings were so splen-
did that a more ideal place could not be
found along the Susquehanna River. The
day was ideal for an outing and much
praise should be given our hosts and host-
esses as they worked hard to make it a
success which it was. Practically all the
stores and greenhouses closed at noon giv-
ing everybody a chance to get to Falls by
1 o'clock. Shortly after that, you could
see Fords, Packards, most any kind of a
machine coming with members and their
friends. Everybody brought along their
baskets and the first thing they did was
eat! Generous supplies of coffee, ice
cream, lemonade and pop were passed
around during the meal. At supper plen-
ty of Corn was passed around and it sure
was enjoyed by all. During the afternoon,
games of all kinds were run off and, as
usual, this caused a lot of excitement.

From Lowell (Mass.) to Ireland

The unique business of mailing a floral
wreath a distance of over 3000 miles fell
to the lot of John Maloney, florist, of
Prescott St., Lowell, Mass. The woman
entered the florist shop, said that her
brother had just died in Ireland and
that she wished to mail a . floral wreath
to be placed over his grave. Mr. Maloney
told her that it was most unusual for
florists to do business in that manner,
but as the customer insisted, he had to
comply. It is understood, of course, that
the flowers were artificial.

The Market

We don't want to boast much about
the market, but business is a little bit
better than a week ago. The oversupply
is still with us, consisting mostly of
Gladioli, Asters and Hydrangeas. Roses
are not quite so plentiful, but there is
aplenty. All outdoor flowers are respond-
ing to favorable growing weather and
the supply is large and hard to move.

Big Fall Flower Show Planned

The Maryland State Fair and Agri-
cultural Society of Baltimore County ex-
pects to stage at Timonium, Md., the lar-
gest flower' show in its history during Show
Week, Sept. 4 to 9, inclusive. Circular
letters have been sent out by Miss Braith-
waite, superintendent of the flower com-
mittee to all commercial flower growers
in the State, asking for exhibits of cut
flowers and plants. The competitive class
in Gladioli will be the outstanding feature
and a first and second cash prize will be
awarded in each of the five divisions
for 50 blooms each, in the colors white,
yellow, pink, red and mixed. Address all
inquiries and entries in this class to Win.
F. Ekas. 530 N. Calvert st.

We learn that the following well known
local firms have applied for space and will
stage large exhibits of nursery and green-
house stock: Isaac H. Moss, Inc., Fred C.
Bauer, The Towson Nurseries, The Loudon
Nurseries and John L. Wagner & Sons.
Prominent among the many exhibitors of
ferns and fancy Dahlias will be R. Vin-
cent, Jr., and Sons Co., of White Marsh,
Md. It is the hope of the management
that many more florists will take advan-
tage of the opportunity for display and
publicity. With a record of 156,000 paid
admissions last year this chance should
not be put aside.

Views of the Vincent Establishment

Wm. F. Ekas visited R. Vincent,
Jr., and Sons Co.'s range at White Marsh,
Md., last week and was kind enough to
give us the following notes: He is en-
thusiastic over conditions there and says
he never saw the indoor stocks or out-
door plantings in finer shape. "The Dah-
lia fields are all in the best possible
growing shape, the rains have been suf-
ficient to keep the plants moving along
nicely, and there is every prospect of
a tremendous crop this year. The plants
on one block of 15 or more acres, de-
voted exclusively to cut flower produc-
tion, are practically of one height, with
not a plant missing. Row after row shows
the appearance of having been trimmed,
the plants are so even.

"Uncle Dick and the boys are highly en-
thusiastic over the new yellow Dahlia,
similar in growth and size to Patrick
O'Mara, except that the new variety is
very erect and of a most pleasing golden
shade. It is being grown among others
in the trial grounds, where most of the
firm's new varieties are tried out before
being indorsed for sale. It has undoubt-
edly all the promise of a wonderful com-
mercial yellow."

The fern houses are one mass of green
and, upon inquiring, Mr. Ekas was told
that there were approximately 50,000
5in., 6in., 7in. and 8in. ferns, mostly
Scottii and Macawii, now ready for sale.
This firm has been very successful in con-
trolling the white fern scale, as all the
plants show a healthy green color and
are in fine growing condition, perhaps
because of their continuous pot culture,
none ever being grown on a bench except
for stock.

Stock Geraniums have made a heavy
growth this Summer and there is every
indication that there will be plants by
the hundred thousand to offer the com-
ing Fall and Spring trade.

Preparations are already being made
for the firm's annual Dahlia Show, which
will be held this year Oct. 3 to 7; if pres-
ent indications count for anything it will
be better than ever. The Canna fields
were the last part of the range visited
and most of the plants being in bloom,
they were one mass of color. All the
commercial varieties are being grown as
well as some of the newer varieties for
test purposes. Taken as a whole the entire
range is in the best possible shape and
well worth the time consumed by a visit
of inspection."

Scattering Notes

L. H. A. Klein has a new Vim
truck on the street.
Michael Hilpert has just completed a

new concrete coal bin with a capacity of
350 tons of soft coal, adjoining his boiler
house. He will feature this year a big
line of Christmas plants including Cycla-
men and Poinsettia, in addition to his
regular fern stock. Some of the Cycla-
men plants are now growing in Sin. pans
and are fine.

George' and Eddie Kress, Jr., have long
been prominent members of the Maryland
Swimming and Canoe Club, winning all
kinds of honors, medals and cups the past
few years. Last Saturday was "Big
Water Day" at Dundalk. The Duke won
in the canoe Junior Singles and Inter-
mediate Singles, and Eddie, Jr., held his
own in the Canoe Tilting and canoe
Senior and Mixed Doubles and Fours.

No matter what time of the day or
night you travel past 909 N. Charles st.
you will see a truly artistic flower ef-
fect in the window of George M. Suwall.
Frank Shaw, a well known and popular
member of the Philadelphia Florists' fra-
ternity, has been appointed general su-
perintendent of greenhouses and grounds
out at Capt. Isaac E. Emerson's Brook-
landwood Farm in the Green Spring Val-
ley, one of the largest private estates in
Maryland.

Erdman and Ulrich have about 100,000
ferns in 2i4in. pots. This mid-Summer
crop is finishing up nicely and will be
ready for the market in two weeks time.

Charlie Patterson's big new house,
down Glen Burnie way, is all ready for
the Rose plants. He left town Saturday
with Mrs. Patterson, to visit some of the
large Rose growers in New Jersey, and
will stop off at Atlantic City for a while
before returning.

Mrs. Isaac H. Moss, Miss Lucy Cattiton
and the Misses Bessie, Helen and Marjorie
Moss are spending the vacation days at
Ocean City. They motored down on
Monday.

Miss Katie Seigwart was operated upon
last Tuesday at St. Agues Hospital for
throat trouble. We are happy to report
her rapid recovery. R. H.

Louisville, Ky.

Trade Notes

Trade this wreek has been very good.
There has been' abundance of funeral work
which required a good deal of stock, and
florists have been unusually busy supply-
ing it. In fact, this Summer has shown
a good volume of business, although some
good funeral work has been missed through
prevalence of the practice of omitting flow-
ers. Florists have been very well satisfied
with the season. In a general way it
compares very favorably with last year,
showing increased volume of business and
profits.

Flowers are coming in in good quantities
and quality. The cool weather of the
past week or ten days has produced some
fine stock. Asters are coming in now, and
Dahlias continue to straggle in at inter-
vals. They are exceptionally fine this
year.

The coal situation is not providing much
worry for Louisville florists: most of them
are well provided, the state, having laid
in their supplies in the early Spring.
Others hold financial interest in Kentucky
mines, a fact which assures them of coal
when they want it, if there is anv to be
had.

The situation, as a whole, is one with
which florists are generally pleased. They
have done a good Summer business, and
prospects for Fall are excellent, unless
industrial troubles are prolonged until
irreparable harm is done.

Items of Interest

The annual picnic and all day out-
ing of the Kentucky Society of Florists
was held, Thursday, at Glenwood Park,
New Albany, Ind. Between 250 and 300
members of the Kentucky society, New Al-
bany florists and friends attended the pic-
nic. Practically every florist shop in both
cities was closed all day so that all per-
sons connected with the trade might at-
tend. The baseball game of the morning
was the feature of the day. There was
no definite alignment of teams, but a
division of players was made, so that a
more equitable score was the result. How-
ever, no official account was kept. The
day was marked by numerous games and
contests, some for men, some for woman
some exclusively for children. Prizes were
provided by the society.

The day was rather cool for swimming,
and only a few of the more hardy entered
the »;ater. In the evening a dance was
held in the Glenwood pavilion, an orches-
tra from New Albany being obtained to

furnish the music. The picnic was so suc-
cessful that it is probable that the society
will give the first annual Winter dance
this year. Secretary Joe Able stated some
time ago, that if the attendance justified it
the society would hold a dance this Win-
ter, and the attendance at the picnic met
all expectations.

The Market Flower Shop, operated in
the Sanitary Market Building, by Dave
Walker, of Edith V. Walker & Bros., has
been closed, and the corporation, a branch
of the Fourth st. company, will be dis-
solved, according to Mr. Walker. The
closing of the shop was not unexpected,
as the management of the Market Building
some time ago declared that the building
would be closed. At that time, however,
Mr. Walker, acting as spokesman for six
of the shopkeepers, declared that they
would remain open, as their leases ex-
tended for a period of five years. They
had previously asked the management to
cancel their leases, but were refused. Mr.
Walker was the next to the last shop-
keeper to close. The failure of the Sani-
tary Market project has been a disap-
pointment to the progressive element of
Louisville. The failure of the market to
attract trade is attributed to its location
and to the price level made necessary by
the rentals.

Miss Nell Able of C. B. Thompson &
Co. has gone to Springfield, 111., to spend
a two weeks' vacation with friends. Joe
Able of the same company is confined to
his home. He is not ill, but is taking a
rest on his doctor's advice.

Fred Haupt of the Fred Haupt Co.,
Jefferson st. florists, is spending some time
at Atlantic City.

■ The: Jefferson County Greenhouse Co.
has filed an amendment to its articles of
incorporation, changing the capital stock
to $50,000. The method of selecting di-
rectors is also changed. The present di-
rectors are Charles Scholtz, George Kop-
meier and A. J. Dreisbach.

Fort Wayne, Ind.

Quiet Times

This week's business has followed
its usual Summer routine with nothing
special happening. Of funeral work and
hospital orders, there is just sufficient do-
ing to keep the florists moving. There is
a good supply of all seasonable flowers,
but many are suffering for the want of
rain. The Gladioli and Asters are fine,
however; Roses are fairly good for the
time of year. Orchids are very scarce.

The Blossom Floral Co. reports a 25
per cent increase in business during the
months of June and July over the same
period last year. This firm is making
some extensive improvements to its store,
including a new office and marble topped
tables. Also they are putting in a new
tile floor.

Wenninghoff is doing very well in his
new store; his window is very attrac-
tive. Mr. Wenninghoff is motoring to
Chicago for a few days, visiting the trade.

The Doswell Floral Co. is cutting some
exceptionally fine Roses for August off
the early planted young stock.

Mr. and Mrs. Wm. J. Vesey are on
a motor tour East and will call on many
of the leading orchid establishments in
New York and New Jersey. Mi^a Alice
Flick is taking charge of the Flick Floral
Co., having graduated from St. Catherines
Academy.

Fred Helgren and wife, foreman at W.
J. & M. S. Vesey, have gone to Kansas
City for the convention. A. B.

Detroit, Mich.

The Market

There hasn't been any decided
change in the market over last week. The
steady stream of incoming Gladioli has
slackened somewhat, but the price of $2
to $4 per 100 remains the same. Local
Roses, which have been off crop lately,
are beginning to come in in good supply.
Prices range from $4 to $12 per 100. Good
Asters are now plentiful at $1 to $3. There
is a good assortment of seasonable stock
offered at the usual Summer prices. The
majority of the retailers contend that this
Summer business has shown a decided
improvement over last year.

Club Meeting

The Detroit Florists Club held a
meeting Wednesday evening, Aug. 9, at
the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange, for
the purpose of election of officers for the
coming year and to organize a bowling
outfit. Officers elected were: Herman H.

Knope, president; Adam Bezimer, vice-
president; Thomas L. Berry, secretary;
Albert Sylvester, treasurer. The thirty'
or so florists eager to bowl have arranged
for another meeting to be held Friday,
Aug. 18, at Herman ICnope's establish-
ment, at which time a half dozen teams
will be organized.

News Notes

Louis Charvat, the popular Mack
ave. florist, has been trying for the past
month to steal a few days for play, but a
"flock" of orders every day has kept him
in the store. However, he expresses the
determination to get away for a while,
starting next week.

The lease which John James holds on
the greenhouse establishment he now oper-
ates, expires in June 1923, but Mr. James
is so pleased with the trade he has en-
joyed, he has decided to stay in the
neighborhood, having purchased several
lots in the same block on which he will
soon start building.

The Gladiolus Show

Aug. 11. — The Gladiolus Society is
now getting some good publicity, as hardly
a day passes but what the local papers
make, some reference to it. Already the
prize lists have been published once or
twice, and its importance and scope have
been emphasized quite a lot.

The Association of Little Gardens here
has got many influential people in its
membership, and exerts much interest
in its doings, so that it is safe to say the
convention will be a good one and suc-
cessful, through all their push and the
addition of that of the Chamber of Com-
merce.

Among the list of local donors to the
amateur sections, several of our downtown
florists are offering prizes. Van Bochove[s
are making cash offers, while Jackson s
and the Prudential Nursery Co. offer stock
and plants to be competed for. A number
of other business men make offers of cash
or goods, so it is fair to suppose a goodly
competition will result.

I am glad to see the policy of interest-
ing the amateur to make displays is well
to the fore, as these exhibitors will come
and also bring their friends, to the benefit
of all concerned, besides adding more and
more to the numbers of those interested
in the keeping up of nice gardens.

The Knights of Pythias Hall, where the
show is to be held, is well located and
of fair size, besides being nicely adapted
to show the exhibits off in good style.
I anticipate a fine show and a most suc-
cessful convention, with the hearty co-
operation of all our local florists to make
it go the limit.

Aug. 14. — Comparing Waterbury
with other cities of its size, I find that
it is doing its part, considering it is a
manufacturing city where so many work-
ing people live.

Alexander Dallas, Inc., has just finished
planting 50,000 Carnations, and they are
a fine lot. He claims there is good de-
mand for seasonable flowers, and espe-
cially for Roses. His Roses are doing
remarkably well.

Lord & Burnham are constructing a
new steel frame house, 25ft.xl50ft., for
Saxe & Floto, which will be devoted en-
tirely- to Cyclamen. Mr. Floto is com-
plaining about the price of Gladioli, stat-
ing that so many are brought in from
rural districts. His own are superior in
variety and quality, but sales are at a
loss. . .

The two Center st. florists are much en-
couraged by the way business is holding
out There has been quite a little floral
work, and wedding bouquets have been
in demand.

Mr Ryan is exhibiting some very fane
Cactus Dahlias in his window. They meas-
ure 7in. to Sin. in diameter, and he claims
them to be the finest ever shown m
Waterbury, or even in the State.

Dean the Florist has just had her store
decorated, and everything looks spick and
span. She has just installed a large mir-
ror, a beautiful French plate, beveled
edge, which covers one side of the store
from ceiling to floor.

The Market

Aug. 15. — If we were to write: See
report for Aug. 8 for prevailing condi-
tions, it would cover the subject accu-
rately. Trade is at the lowest ebb and
if one is seeking news, the tide has ebbed
to vanishing point. Nothing of an ex-
citing nature has happened or is likely to
happen; with conditions so slow only the
most clumsy or careless individual is
likely to knock up against trouble in the
market. In the main, everyone con-
cerned more or less spends his time figur-
ing how much he is going to lose on each
consignment as it comes in. Those that
are naturally energetic from force of hab-
it open up the cases as they come in and
if they contain Gladioli or Asters — and
they mostly do — they just heave a sigh
and light up another cigar. True,- it is
possible to find some one making a clear-
ance; a good fairy hovered around the
Henshaw Floral Co. store today so that
by 10 o'clock or so, all the Asters and
Glads on hand were wafted away. Gen-
erally speaking, however, this is an un-
usual occurrence; in fact, the consign-
ments usually come in fast enough to
prevent any possibility of a blank table.
The return of the heat wave is, if any-
thing, encouraging heavier supplies.

Asters are everywhere, some good, some
indifferent, but mostly well blessed with
stems, thanks to the abundance of mois-
ture. Some of the small flowered sam-
ples might conceivably improve if they
were allowed to develop on the plant.
Some growers appear to be in a mighty
hurry to cut, not apparently realizing
that composites of this character do not
develop well after ■ cutting. Prices of
Asters vary considerably; some of the
small stock goes as low as three cents,
while good, fully developed comets will
touch as high as 25c. Sheaves are sold
around 12c. and sheaves more remain.

As for Gladioli, the proposition is
fierce; quantities are sold around 8c. to
15c; special sorts may make more, but
when one figures on the multitude that
develop after arrival, these are not
wanted, of course; it may be taken that
the average price the grower gets is not
particularly gratifying. However there
is a prospect of a decline in these two
flowers, as the weather has rushed along
the main crops.

The Rose business is scarcely causing a
ripple, even American Beauty is attract-
ing less attention than it did last week
at the same prices. Other Roses are, for
the most part, small and more or less neg-
lected.

Carnations are rarities, although at
Wm. Kessler's, W. 28th st., we found
some really respectable flowers from re-
cently benched stock. While on the small
side, the flowers, white and pink, were
clean and fresh, far different from the
poor, sleepy looking morsels that are oc-
casionally to be seen around.

Lilies, both white and rubrum, were
surprisingly abundant this morning; plen-
ty of them on the young side and there-
fore a good buy, but, bless you, weddings
and funerals have gone out of fashion
so that Lilies are apt to hang fire. One
could have all the white Lilies they want
by the thousand at a maximum of $12.
Valley is not abundant and therefore is
fairly firm at $6. Orchids are not plen-
tiful, but it is not difficult to secure beau-
tiful hybrid Cattleyas at $1.50 apiece and
a few attractive Cypripediums, too, are
to be found. When one sees them promi-

nently displayed, however, it's safe to
assume the demand is not keen.

As to miscellaneous flowers there is a
fairly big choice. Gypsophila elegans is
good at $2 or so, and the call is sufficient
to suggest it is in general use. Dahlias
are plentiful, but even the pink sorts are
slow to move; people seem to hesitate
about Dahlias at this time of the year,
however much they may ^njoy them in
the garden. The best sample seen was
King of the Autumn on long stems. Dark
purple Aconite, Liatris, Zinnias, Lark-
spur, Buddleia variabilis, Cosmos, Delphi-
nium Bella Donna, small sprays; single
Aster, not attractive this, having too
flimsy a petal and too large an eye, and
Marigolds are some of the things seen.
A few bits of Bouvardia, both Hum-
boldtii and the smaller forms are to be
seen also, but they are no attraction.

All told the market is dull without any-
thing special to cause even a stir of in-
terest. In fact, some of the old hands
evinced more interest in our buttonhole
of Viola cornuta Lord Nelson than they
could muster up for anything else. Some-
thing different, that's all.

In the West 18th st. market there is a
probability of a new firm starting in short-
ly. Green goods of all descriptions will
be the specialty and as the parties con-
cerned in the proposition have had plen-
ty of experience in these lines, the pros-
pects for the success of such a store are
fairly good.

The new store which the Henshaw Floral
Co. have decided upon at Newark will be
ready for business Sept. 1. One of the
New York store boys will be taking charge.
Up to today the staff had not learned
whether the boss and his companion, Wal-
lace R. Pierson, had reached Kansas City.
Not much doubt about it, however, for
they're the sort of men who'd get through
if they had to carry the car.

Off For Kansas City

During a stroll through the 3.20 train
for Chicago, of the Lackawanna Railroad,
on Sunday, we saw quite a number of
familiar faces of the New York and Phila-
delphia trade, on the way to Kansas City,
Mo., for the S. A. F. and O. H. Conven-
tion. The New York Florist Club, through
its Transportation Committee, was respon-
sible for gathering the party together.

Those who had made early reservations
were quartered together in one car, the
balance of the party being in two adjoin-
ing cars. Among those present were
noted President Pennock and party, A. L.
Miller and party, Richard Vincent, Jr.,
J. C. Vaughan, Frank Traendly and party,
Thomas Roland and Son, Mr. and Mrs.
Roman J. Irwin, Anton C. Schultheis,
Mr. and Mrs. Reis, Henry Schmidt,
Charles Niemann and Julius Roehrs.

Among the recent visitors to New
York were' James Smith of Paterson and
Passaic, N. J., Wm. Rodman of Brook-
lyn and C. E. Falls of Chicago. They
are all interested in standardization, pos-
sibly in connection with the article "Prog-
ress," which appeared in The Exchange
of Feb. 12, 1921. In the course of their
visit they called at Max Schling's, Inc., to
discuss the subject.

Mr. Schling was also much interested
in general conditions connected with
standardization of sales and service to
customers, all of which is part of the
standardization of flowers. In his usual
openhearted way he assured them of his
willingness to assist any of his brother
florists who might be able to benefit by
his experience.

The Market

There has been little change in the
market the past week, unless it could be
that business was worse. Even the week-
end was without animation.

Gladioli and Asters hold a commanding
place in the market, but shipments of
both are not quite so heavy. The early
Asters show to poor advantage beside the
fast coming midseason sorts, but if root
louse, stem rot and the Aster bug con-
tinue, there will probably be a shortage
before long.

Roses are good, and the supply normal.
They are the leaders in the exclusive
stores. Blue Lace Flower is attracting
lots of attention in the few stores that
handle it. They are wonderful in combi-
nation with Zinnias of the ochre shades
and with Calendulas. Valley and orchids
are scarce, but there is little demand, and
the lack of them passes unnoticed.

Plants in bloom are in demand, but
there is nothing to be had worth while
except a few Gloxinias. Greens are as
usual and of excellent quality.

The Florists Club

Interest is centered around the
forthcoming election contest for presi-
dent. Both candidates, i. e., Carl Hagen-
burger, "The Wizard of Mentor," and
Fred Witthuhn are well known and well
liked. It will not be a walk away for
either, as both have a host of friends.

Mr. Witthuhn, who is in Europe, has
not as yet been apprised of his nomina-
tion, and there is a question in the minds
of many as to how he will feel toward
accepting the arduous duties of club presi-
dent if elected.

The powers that be thought that the
presidency would be a happy surprise for
him, but surprises are sometimes left
handed and not to the liking of the
recipient.

On the other hand, the nominee from
• Mentor has already proven his prowess,
having won his spurs as club president in
1919, and as president of the Ohio dis-
trict National Flower Growers Association
last year. Mr. Hagenburger, if elected,
would bring much prestige to the local
club, as he is a man nationally known in
S. A. F. circles, being a director of the
parent society and a well known figure
at all florists' affairs. As a presiding offi-
cer, he is without a peer in local circles,
and conducts the meetings with snap and
along purely business and ethical lines,
keeping the personal wrangles in the
oblivion, where they belong. During the
past year he had occasion to preside at a
meeting in the absence of the illustrious
Jas. McLaughlin, and one old timer, who
has been a member of the club since its
start, was heard to remark that it was
the best meeting he had attended in 25
years.

There the situation stands; two men,
good and true, of ripe experience, and
excellent florists, and _ yet it is not the
person we should consider in an election
that concerns the good of the club. Decide
today on the man you believe will make
the best executive, and come to the meet-
ing on the first Monday of September
and vote without reservation, but — "Let
your conscience be your guide."

Cleveland Horticulture Club

These are days of activity in club
affairs, and the entertainment committee
deserves special mention for its efforts
on behalf of the members. There was a
banquet, a flower show, a dance, a picnic
and outing by motor to the various estates
in June, July and August. There will be
another in September, a trip to Detroit,
and yet another dance.

These get together meetings are educa-
tional as well as exhilarating, and do much
to promote good fellowship. Verily, the
Florists Club should take a page out of
this society's book and do likewise.

Publicity

There have been few signed agree-
ments to the one per cent contracts that
were sent out in July returned to the
Publicity Committee. It is important

that your vote on this vital subject be
presented to the committee. Sign your
contract if you are for this plan of col-
lecting, as some data on how those inter-
ested feel toward it is necessary.

The buyers' strike is over; better times
are returning, and it is time we were out-
lining our plan of attack on the elusive
dollar that lies within the pocketbooks of
the gift giver and the beauty lover. We
must shout, "Say it with Flowers," from
the housetops; that wonderful slogan
should greet the eye of the news reader
each morning. The trolley cars should
carry the message that "Today is some-
one's birthday," and the postman should
carry to every household the facts about
the wonderful F. T. D.

However, this all takes money, and it
lies within the power of each and every
florist to make these things possible. Co-
operative advertising is the solution, and
the one per cent plan is the fairest and
most equitable. Opportunity lies within
our grasp, and if we do not act, the
jeweler, the candy man and the gift shop
proprietor will collect the dollars that
would have played a tune on the florist's
cash register! Sign your contract today.

S. A. F. and O. H.

The State vice-president again re-
spectfully calls to the attention of the
members of this district who are delin-
quent in their dues, the need of prompt
payments. This year has been an ex-
pensive one, and much money is required
to meet disbursements. What with a con-
vention and a flower show and the various
other expenses, that are necessary for the
society to function, it is imperative that
members should keep in good standing
and pay up. Send in your cheque today
to Charles Imbrie Kent, 10,313 Euclid ave,.
or to John Young, secretary, 43 West
18th St., New York.

At this writing, E. B. George of Paines-
ville, Carl Hagenburger of Mentor, and
Walter C. Cook, accompanied by Mrs.
Cook, will make the trip to the convention
at Kansas City. Charles Imbrie Kent.

Tarrytown (N. Y.) Hort. Society

The annual outing of Tarrytown Hor-
ticultural Society and the Westchester
and Fairfield Horticultural Society was
held at Roton Point on Aug. 10. The
weather was ideal, one may say it was
made to order. The friendship that ex-
ists between these two societies is very
cordial and the annual outing is looked
forward to by both societies.

The Tarrytown members went by pri-
vate cars and busses, arriving at the
Point about 10.30 a.m. After looking the
place over, all hands gathered at the
athletic field and prepared for the sports.
Competition was keen in all the events.
James Stuart of Mamaroneck, acted as
athletic director and soon got things mov-
ing, several events being run off before
2 o'clock, when the gong sounded for
dinner. Everybody had developed a keen
appetite and anxiously waited the coming
of the eats, when everyone did their duty
to the shore dinner, not forgetting that
bottle of Jacob Rupert's special one-half
of one. (Pretty thin, I'll tell you.)

The outing was a fine family affair;
no nicer place could have been chosen;
it is one of the cleanest on the sound and
everybody seemed to enjoy themselves.

The first event of the day was a game
of quoits between the two societies which
is always an interesting event; the game
ended with a score of 19-21 in favor of
Westchester. The hop, step and jump
came next, which was again won in favor
of Westchester. The most interesting
and hardest fought event of the day was
the tug-o-war between the two societies.
Tarrytown took the lead at first, but was
eventually pulled over the line by their
opponents.

The ladies' race was a humorous one;
at the shot of the gun, the lassies started
and the skirts flew high as they tore
across the field to the finishing line, the
honors coming to Tarrytown. The mar-
ried women's race resulted in another
victory for Tarrytown. The relay race
was very interesting and a good race was
run, Tarrytown again being victorious.

There were amusements for everyone,
whatever their tastes or inclinations were,
including fine surf bathing, which quite a
few took advantage of and had their an-
nual. A start was made for home about
6.30 p.m.; everybody arrived home safely;
and saw the "End of a perfect day."

The Market

Aug. 15. — There has been a grad-
ual improvement in the market condi-
tions, the past week was slightly better
than the week previous. The present
week bids fair to show further improve-
ments still, although it has gone on rec-
ord that the convention week has al-
ways been a dull one, and dealers are
not prone to anticipate any noteworthy
change for the better. There is, how-
ever, certain factors which show a trend
toward improvement, if not this week it
will be not long deferred.

There is a notable scarcity of good
Roses of shipping quality. There are
more of the short and medium grades
than the fancy. Taking the Rose situa-
tion as a whole, it is satisfactory; for
the time being all are moving and good
stock is bringing fair prices.

With Carnations practically off the
market, and Roses not any too plentiful,
the bulk of stock offered is either Glad-
ioli or Asters. These are the compo-
nents of the immediate supply, and in
both cases the quantity exceeds the de-
mand. Only the 'best are sold, the
poorer stock in both eases is going beg-
ging

Good Asters are not plentiful, and
what there are, sell for reasonable prices
for this time of the year. On the other
hand, the supply of poor and low grade
Asters is away beyond the demand there
is for them. These are sold for any price
they will bring and when the buyers are
satisfied, there is a large amount daily
that goes to the dump. .

The Gladiolus situation is on par with
the Asters ; really good stock is- selling
well, but there is a large amount of
short stock that sticks on the hands of
the dealers. In Pendleton, and other
fancy varieties, there is no trouble in
disposing of all available stock.

Considering the large amount of stock
dealers are confronted with daily, there
is little in variety excepting that offered
in the colors of the two leading features,
Gladioli and Asters. Orchids are scarce,
and Valley is difficult to obtain save in
quite sma'll quantities. The paucity of
this supply, however, is not troublesome,
as the demand is unsteady. There are
not many Lilies with the exception of
some few rubrums, and still fewer aura-
turns. Garden flowers are rarely seen
only in the smallest quantities. The Del-
phiniums that were such a feature on
the early Summer market, are almost
gone. Some Feverfew and Gypsophila
are about all that remain. One of the
wholesale houses had some Golden Glow
Chrysanthemums the past week. These
extra early 'Mums have never been in
active demand on this market for which
reason it is stated there are not so many
of them grown as a few years ago. A
few of the wholesale houses will be rep-
resented at the convention, but not all ;
thev leave this to the growers, the seeds-
man, the supply men, and the allied
trades. Open houses are, however, kept
for visitors, either going or returning,
and there is a welcome and hearty hand-
shake for all.

News Notes

Max Schling, the well-known New
York retailer, spent Monday in the city

sum) ; two other shipments to follow
are now in transit. The company also
shipped, this week, their first Paper-
white, French Golden Spur, Roman Hya-
cinths and Narcissus Soleil d'Or. On
account of shortage of all French bulbs,
all orders are being taken care of pro-
portionally, each customer getting a few.

News Notes

Ernst Amling, Saw telle, Calif., was
in the city Saturday and Sunday on his
way to the S. A. F. convention. He re-
ports the palm growing industry in that
section of the country to be assuming
large proportions.

The greenhouses on the Geo. Wittbold
establishment at Buckingham place are all
being torn down to make room for a 32
apartment building. The store and large
exhibition conservatory will be maintained
but all stock will in the future come from
the large greenhouses of the company at
Edgebrook.

Geo. Ball, Glen Ellyn, and Guy French
of the A. B. C. left Sunday for the con-
vention. They go by the way of Des
Moines, la., and expect to reach Kansas
City by Tuesday morning.

Ove Gnatt and Fred Henoch spent Mon-
day in the city, leaving on the florists
special for Kansas City Monday evening
where they have a large exhibit. Sever-
al of the salesmen have gone on ahead to
be ready for the opening day.

Oilie Zech and family spent the week-
end at Delavan, Wis., returning Sunday
night. Oilie will leave Tuesday night for
the convention; he is merely going for
the bowling tournament Wednesday, be-
ing chairman of the sports committee of
the Chicago Florists Club and captain of
the team. His friends are backing him
strong on bringing home the trophy. ■

G. W. Marshall, Okmulgee, Okla., is
spending a few days in the city on his
return from a vacation trip in Ohio.

The American Greenhouse Mfg. Co. has
the contract for a new curved eave conserva-

tory for A. W. Webster & Son, Centralia,
111. The work has started on same and will
be ready for Fall business.

C. S. McCauley & Son have let the con-
tract for another large greenhouse to be
erected near the recently constructed range
at Geneva, 111. The new house will be
38 x 250 ft. and when complete will be used
exclusively for growing Mme. Butterfly
Rose. The houses recently completed have
been planted with Premier. With the ad-
dition of this new house, the McCauley
greenhouses will have a capacity of 18,000
plants. It is estimated the first crop will
be ready for cutting early in September.

The new establishment of the Foley
Greenhouse Mfg. Co., now in the course of
construction west of the Great Western
depot and south of the Soo Line tracks in
Forest Park, will be ready for occupancy
toward the first of September. The main
building is 114x201 ft. with a warehouse
at the back 114 x SO ft. It is a one-story
building of brick with pressed brick front
facing the South. The general offices of the
company will .occupy the front portion of
the main building. A spur track has been
laid into the grounds terminating in the main
warehouse where loading and unloading of
material can be accomplished at a minimum
of trouble at all seasons. A water main has
been laid by the Foley Co. from Desplains
ave., mainly for fire protection.

The World's Largest Flower
Factory

Under the above caption, the Nursery-
man and Seedsman, London, gives some
illustrated details regarding the great cut
flower concern, Lowe & Sbawyer, Ux-
bridge, England. About a year ago, Prof.
E. A. White visited this firm and favored
our readers with some data regarding it.
The Nurseryman and Seedsman, however,
goes more fully into the subject, for at
the same time that the American Nur-
serymen were convening at Detroit, the
Horticultural Trades Association of
Great Britain was holding in London, a
three days' convention, one day being
devoted to seeing Lowe & Shawyer. A
party of nearly 100 accepted the invita-
tion to this wonderful place which has
roadways like a private estate, absolutely
no weeds either on the ground, by the
pathways, or between the houses.

These nurseries were founded in 1864
by Joseph Lowe, who is still alive. They
began small but now cover 120 acres, and
find regular employment for over 500
people. As is well known the firm heats
part, if not all its glass, with a battery
of Kroeschell boilers, big enough to
drive an ocean liner. The heating sys-
tem is entirely hot water, driven through
miles of pipes by electric circulators.
Miles of canvas are stretched over frame-
work to protect outdoor crops and 20,000
6ft.x4ft. sashes are used for the same
purpose. The firm uses entirely metro-
politan water; the water bill runs into
thousands of pounds a year. The boilers
when at work use 100 tons of anthracite
a week.

Under glass, Roses, Carnations, Toma-
toes, Chrysanthemums and bulbs are the
staples. Of Chrysanths, the firm raises
and grows 600,000, 150,000 of these are
flowered in pots, the rest are bedded out
and protected by canvas or sash when in
flower. Fifty-nine houses are devoted to
Roses. For Carnations six 275ft.x44ft.
and eight smaller are set aside, but more
houses are going up. Over 100,000 Sweet
Pea plants are raised in pots and set
out; these are all grown on the cordon
system. Among bulbs, Gladioli, including
the baby type are a big feature, but
Spring bulbs are the main factor. The
firm has its own bulb farms in England
and Holland. The usual crop is 5% mil-
lions, early and Darwin Tulips, 1% mil-
lions of Daffodils, 1% millions of Iris,
and % million of Gladioli. The Tulips
are worked off in six crops, between the
last 'Mums and the first of the Gladioli.
The marketing of the blooms is mostly
done through Geo. Monro, Ltd., of Co-
vent Garden ; in the season as many as
2000 trunks of 'Mums are shipped in
one day ; these trunks are about 5ft.x.3ft.
xlOin., and probably contain four to six
dozen blooms or bunches. The average
Tulip output is 40,000 bunches (dozens)
a week. The Carnation cut in the full
season is 3000 bunches (dozens) a day.
The Sweet Pea cut can be imagined from
the fact that 30 or more girls do noth-
ing else but attend to them. The 'Mum
cutting staff is over 60 and the work is
done, wet or fine. In wet weather, all
the girls are fully equipped with oil-
skins.

Have you tried
"MALCO" Paints?

"Malco" Interior Paint is another Mc-
Callum product of genuine dependabil-
ity. Beautiful, soft and flat, it gives
an interior finish of lasting effect.
"Malco" Exterior Paint is preferred by
the greenhouse man who appreciates
service coupled with economy. "Malco"
Exterior is the cheapest exterior paint
you can buy because it lasts longer and
gives a most artistic outside finish.

Boston Ferns Pale Colored

We have a number of large ferns of
the Boston type; they are well rooted
and heavy, but the foliage is a light color,
not the desirable rich dark green.

What can I use to color them, without
shifting to larger pots? W. E. K.

Give weak doses of nitrate of soda,
or if you have it, soot water made from
soot derived from bituminous coal fires.
Give more shade; all ferns come pale
when exposed to sunshine; usually the
heavier the shade the darker the foli-
age.

The Better Chance

A couple of pickpockets were fol-

roll as he emerged from a loop bank.
Much to their disappointment he
turned into a flower store.

"We'll wait till that guy comes out,"
said one.

"Naw!" replied his pal. "We'll wait
'till the florist comes out."

The Market

Aug. 15. — Now, suppose a man
dies. That's the end of him and he is
■dead. A thousand years' roll on and he
stays dead. The question arises, is, by
that time, the man any deader than he
was the first day after he died? Accord-
ing to the behavior of the Wholesale
flower market, the answer would be, yes.
Two weeks ago the market died utterly;
a week ago it was twice as dead, and this

week , but what's the use? It's dead

and that is all there is to it.

There is little use in quoting prices
for any of the flowers offered. Suffice it
to say that the best of stock goes begging
at criminally low figures.

Roses are a little less plentiful and are
mostly short stemmed, coming from young
plants. The demand for these is very
low. Red Roses are scarce and bring
about two cents extra.

Since last Saturday, when a good many
Gladioli were given away to the hospitals,
the supply has shortened up a little. This
does not mean that these flowers are
getting scarce. There are still so many
arriving every day that a few million,
more or less, are hardly noticed. Fifty
to sixty cents per doz. for such sorts as

Dr. Norton, Fascination, Pendleton,
Myrtle, Schwaben, Europa, etc., is all that
can be got, and at that the flowers are
just wonderful, thanks to the frequent
showers which favor the grower.

Asters are in the same fix as Gladioli.
There are too many and more than two
cents for the very best is hard to realize.
The quality is first class as far as size
and length of stem are concerned, but the
flowers suffer a good deal from spotting,
the result of moisture. Very little, if
any mention is made nowadays of the
Aster beetle, which, in years gone by,
waa such an infernal pest and responsible
for much trouble and loss in Aster culture,
yellows, stem rot and drowning out where
the plants are located in low land, are re-
ported but there are Asters enough and
to spare, as it is.

Golden Glow Chrysanthemums are be-
coming quite common and have dropped to
$2 and $2.50 per doz. New Carnations
have not appeared so far. The supply of
miscellaneous flowers is normal and in-
cludes a good many varieties of Summer
subjects. Quite a few second crop Del-
phiniums are offered and sell readily, to
be used in combination with Gladioli.
There is no demand and also no supply in
orchids. Lily of the Valley, and Garde-
nias are also out of the race. The demand
for Asparagus Sprengeri and plumosus is
much less than it has been some few weeks
ago.

Goings-on Around the "Hub"

Latest dispatches from the bedside
of Edward J. Rogean, the popular sales-
man at the Flower Exchange Market, tell
of his slow recovery from the accident
which befell him while he was trying to
teach his gas buggy some new tricks. Mr.
Rogean is still at the hospital in St.
Johns, New Brunswick, where they had
a sweet job sewing him together with
twelve stitches. Why should a man go |
all the way to New Brunswick just to get ]
banged up?

Moe Liebman is receiving some excel- i
lent greenhouse grown Sweet Peas from
A. Sorenson of Marlborough, Mass., and
also the first shipments of white Early
Frost Chrysanthemums from Rocco Zep-
aro, Winter st. greenhouses, Arlington,
Mass.

Thomas McCannon, the jovial young
man who booms the sales at the Boston

Rose Company's stalls in the Flower Ex-
change Market, has found his way home
after a few weeks spent among the hills
and lakes of Northern New England.
Some of the fish stories which he tells, he
does not believe himself.

Joe White at Penn's has returned from
his White Mountain tour. Spiros Kefalas,
who is well known as Penn's expert win-
dow decorator, is at Manchester-by-the-
Sea for his vacation and Joe wi 11 look after
the window trimming until Spiros gets
back.

W. N. Craig Enters Business

Wm. N. Craig, superintendent of
Faulkner Farm, Brookline, Mass., will
leave his position by the end of Septem-
ber to go into business for himself. Mr.
Craig is probably one of the best and
most widely known gardeners, horticul-
turists and lecturers on the Atlantic
Coast. He has, for 18 years, uninterrupt-
edly held the post of secretary of the
Gardeners and Florists Club of Boston
and is, without doubt its most active and
indefatigable worker and is always
greatly interested in the welfare of the
National Association of Gardeners, of
which body he was the president a year
ago. Mr. Craig has held his present po-
sition at Faulkner Farm for the last ten
years and, before this, was superintend-
ent for 14 years of the Oakes Ames es-
tate, Langwater Farms, at North Easton,
Mass. He has purchased property at
South Weymouth, Mass., which consists of
several acres of land and a handsome
residence, situated on two streets and
car lines. Mr. Craig intends to specialize
in several lines of first class, hardy
plants and choice bulbs. His many friends
and the trade will join in wishing Mr.
Craig the utmost measure of success.

The growers and salesmen at the Flow-
er Exchange Market last Friday and Sat-
urday did a handsome thing, when they
contributed many thousands of Gladioli
spikes to about a half a dozen of Boston's
hospitals. The flowers filled several
motor trucks and their withdrawal from
the market created quite a vacuum, soon
to be filled up again by new consignments.

W. C. Eddy, Paradise, Pa., representing
the Eddy Garden Service Co., demon-
strated the Willard Multi-Tool in the
flower markets, meeting with a good re-
ception and booking a number of sales
for his excellent garden tool, which is
adaptable to many uses and is fitted with
a universal ball socket joint, allowing of
many adjustments.

C. B. Johnson, Woburn, and family have
returned very much reduperated from
their three weeks' camping out experience
in the New Hampshire hills. The party
made the trip by auto and brought along
their own tent, which they pitched many
miles away from civilization. Mr. John-
son thinks it is a great life, but would not
mind if there were a little bit of steam
heat under the tent some nights. Upon
his return, Mr. Johnson found two of
his large houses planted with Carnations
and the work so well under way that plant-
ing is to be finished inside of ten days.
Thct young sto|ck of Carnations could
hardly be in finer shape; having been
planted on raised beds in the field, kept
properly cultivated and topped. All the
best of the commercial varieties are
grown, besides a good many seedlings orig-
inated on the place. George Hetzel, Mr.
Johnson's able foreman, derives a lot of

pleasure tampering with seedlings and
can show a goodly number of promising
crosses; many of them in their second
and third year. George won't let up until
he has produced something worth while
and, in his endeavor, is greatly helped
by the enthusiasm and encouragement of
his employer who also derives much
pleasure from seeing 'em grow. One-half
of a 270ft. house is given over to seed-
lings in their second and third year. On
the place are also several houses planted
to Chrysanthemums of the best varieties
and they look fine. A large plot of ground
has been planted with Gladioli, on the
first of August, for late crop. The whole
establishment shows good care and close
attention to detail.

Wax Bros, on Temple place, furnished
a very large number of floral pieces for
the funeral of Mrs. Emma Lucy Bishop,
the widow of the late Dr. Heber Bishop
of Brookline, who was a naturalist, hun-
ter and fisherman of national repute and
a close friend of the Wax Brothers. Mrs.
Bishop, in company with her two daugh-
ters, was returning from Canada where
the family had just buried the ashes of
Mr. Bishop. On a steep hill, near Clear
Water pond, Mrs. Bishop met her death,
when the automobile collided with a tele-
graph pole, so that the daughters had the
sad duty to bring home the dead body
of their mother after having buried their
father. The accident occurred at Farm-
ington, Me., on Aug. 8.

J. W. Howard, the veteran florist on
Broadway, Somerville, is the recipient of
many congratulatory remarks on the very
handsome flower beds on either side of
the street car tracks along the Broadway
boulevard. These beds are a distinctive
decorative feature in that section of the
community. They are planted for the
city of Somerville, year after year, by
Mr. Howard whose greenhouses and store
on Broadway have been a landmark for
much over 40 years.

Westchester (N. Y.) and Fairfield
(Conn.) Hort. Society

The regular monthly meeting of this
society was held at the Y. M. C. A.T
Greenwich, Conn., on Tuesday, Aug. 8.
The special exhibition committees report-
ed great progress in arrangements for
the annual Dahlia show which is to be
held in the Y. M. C. A. building Sept.
19 to 21.

One new member was elected and the
usual fine display of flowers and vege-
tables was on view. First prize was
awarded Wm. Smith for a collection of
Dahlias; second to John Andrews fori
Gladiolus Primulinus Hybrids; third to
W. D. Robertson for fancy leaved Cala-
dium. Other worthy exhibits were T, ilium
speciosum from James Linane; Gladiolus
Primulinus Hybrids from H. F. Bulpitt;
Buddleia variabilis from J. Tough;
Gladiolus from W. Smith.

The vegetable prizes were awarded to
James Linane; second to H. F. Bulpitt.

P. W. Popp gave an interesting talk on
his trip through the West, describing the
weather and horticultural conditions
prevailing there.

One of the best Cut Flower Items is

ASTERS

Most of them show ■wonderful quality. Asters of that
kind will surely find sale in any retail store that will prop-
erly display them.

We can furnish you good Asters in most any quantity.

EASTER LILIES

As we have mentioned
many times previously, we
make a specialty of Good
Lilies during the Summer
months.

GLADIOLI

There will be a good
supply of them during the
entire season, because the
planting is much larger this
year.

You can buy the flowers cheap enough, so help the
market by increasing your daily sales. We will give you
the benefit of this good supply.

"A Practical Manual for the Retail Grower"
See Ad. Page 400, Last Week

A slightly better tone was noticeable
on the market starting Aug. 14. If. close-
ly analyzed it would probably show that
the demand itself had not changed one
way or the other, but that the supply gen-
erally was a little less prolific.

The heavy early crops of both Gladioli
and Asters ended last week, which prob-
ably helped toward the result more than
a little. Of course, the commercial grow-
ers are still sending in stock in quantity,
but the amateur and farmer have about
wound up their main crops. This would
indicate a little better quality in future.
Although some poor Asters are still com-
ing in, the quantity is not so proportion-
ately great.

Prices, too, were slightly higher and a
great deal firmer. Gladioli were still 50c.
to $4 per 100, but the proportion of $4
blooms was higher. Asters had a bottom
of 2c. on Aug. 14 as against a bottom of
lc. or even %c. Aug. 12.

More and more shipping orders are
calls for quality stock and what short
Asters still persist in coming into the
market find a very poor sale. Roses are
improved greatly, shorts not coming in
so heavily. The demand here is not big,
but what call there is goes to quality
and the shorts have been a drug on the
market for some weeks.

Lilies were bringing $12.50 and $15
Aug. 12 and the price advanced slightly
Aug. 14. The demand is small, but steady
and the supply is just about right on
this bloom.

Asters

The midseasons are now arriving,
better stems and better flowers than
the early varieties, all colors, and a
better assortment of colors.

S2, S3, S4, $5 per 100.

GLADIOLI

Our usual top-notch quality.

Notes

Some nice Zinnias were seen at the
S. S. Pennock Co. store Aug. 14. Mr.
Faust of this firm is not attending the
S. A. F. convention, as was announced last
week.

The Leo Niessen Co. was getting in some
good looking American Legion Roses last
week.

The Bayersdorfer representation at
Kansas City includes I. M. Bayersdorfer,
Howard Royer and Charles A. Liebeck.
Raymond V. Kester, formerly of Philadel-
phia and lately with Noble Bros., Cleve-
land, O., has joined the H. Bayersdorfer
Co. and will leave next week to take
over the Pacific Coast territory.

Mrs. Naulty of Chas. E. Meehan's es-
tablishment started on her vacation last
week. Perhaps that explains the defeat
of I. F. C. Aug. 14.

Visitors to Kansas City from among
the local growers include Robert Craig
and Mr. Vanderbreggon of the Robert
Craig Co. and J. W. Heacock of the Jos.
W. Heacock Co.

Wm. C. McKessick, formerly of the
Leo Niessen Co., Baltimore branch, was in
town Aug. 14.

Mr. Zeiger of the Jos. G. Neidinger Co.
returned Aug. 9 from a trip through the
middle West. Conditions generally he re-
ported as excellent. The coal strike and
the railroad troubles have not affected
business much as yet and if the growers
get their coal this Fall business should
be very good. He reported good service
on the Pennsylvania system, but the Erie
and B. & O. had several delayed passen-
ger trains during his travels.

Jack Berger of Berger Bros, left Aug.
15 for a two weeks' automobile trip.

Retailers' Doings

Bob Stewart started on his vaca-
tion last week, and James Walsh has been
helping out at T. Nielson Geiger's.

"The minute we're at all short handed,
we get rushed," said Charles Henry Fox.
Last week started off well here.

J. J. Habermehl's Sons report funeral
work keeping up steadily enough to give
everyone a job.

"I think bright weather has a psycho-
logical effect on flower buyers," said the
genial manager of the Heron Flower Shop.
"When the sun is shining everybody feels
happy, and are more willing to buy things.
Flowers come in for their share of it.

Two novel windows may be seen at
the London Flower Shop. One attraction
is a large painting, on view through the
kindness of the Art League. This brings
up the passing pedestrian with a jerk, and

before he has finished looking at the
picture his eye wanders to the other fur-
nishings of the window, which are unique.
A complete outfit of wicker work and
china and glassware meets his gaze. The
color is a uniform light green.

The other window is filled with china
animals and birds imported from France,
and are true novelties. Irvin M. Rosner,
who is in charge here during the Summer,
states that combination baskets and boxes
at $2 to $3.50 proved good sellers. Painted
cups, filled with blooms, are also useful
in keeping the flowers moving during the
dull Summer months.

Baseball

Last weeks games were: Aug 10 —
Pennock 7, Craig 3; Dreer 10, Niessen 9;
Bayersdorfer 13, Bickmore 9; I. F. C. vs.
Retailers (postponed). Aug. 14 — Bick-
more 19, Pennock 7; Craig 10, I. F. C. 6;
Retailers 14, Niessen 12; Bayersdorfer 12,
Dreer 4.

The standings are now as follows:

W L %

Retailers 7 2 777

Bickmore 9 3 750

Bayersdorfer 7 4 636

Craig 5 3 625

Niessen 5 6 454

I. F. C 4 6 400

Dreer 3 8 273

Pennock 1 9 100

Klinger of Niessen's was quite seriously
hurt last week, and was only discharged
from hospital Aug. 14. He will go on a
two weeks' vacation to recuperate.

Talk has it that Bickmore's game, Aug.
14 with Pennock, was played with an
outside pitcher. It is not known whether
protests will be entered. The Craig game
with I. F. C. is rumored to have been
played with three outsiders, but no proof
or protest had been entered at the time
of writing. With the four or more Re-
tailers' games protested, this seems a sur-
prising state of affairs for an amateur
league. Perhaps the Campbell cup is
destined to grace the home of the best
baseball lawyer in the teams!

Haverhill, Mass. — The new flower
shop of Kaulbacli, the florist, was opened
recently at 42 Main st., two doors below
Court st. In addition to much increased
floor space for the display and sale of flow-
ers, the concern has a large workroom and
a basement with built-in refrigerators.
There is a rear entrance to the store for
the delivery and receiving of flowers. The
interior has been modernized, the color
scheme being white, with an artistic indi-
rect lighting system. At the event of the
opening, a number of large floral pieces
were received by the firm from business
associates.

Florists Go A-picnicking

The Pittsburgh Florists and Gar-
deners Club held its annual picnic on
Wednesday, Aug. 9, at the grounds of the
Allegheny Athletic Association, commonly
known as Turners' Park, in Perryville.
Although the attendance was not so large
as at the picnic last year, it was highly
successful from every point of view. From
250 to 300 were present, the majority of
whom remained until the last strains of
the "Home Waltz," at 10 p.m.

A more beautiful day could not have
been desired, and the grounds were like-
wise; in fact, the best ever selected by
the club for any of its annual affairs.
Turners' Park, only about a half hour's
ride from the city, embraces a tract of
96 acres, with a perfect athletic field, a
large and uptodate dancing pavilion and
an ideal picnic grove. The club is in-
debted to the efforts and influence of Mr.
Julius Ludwig in obtaining such a splen-
did site, and it is hoped that the picnic
committee in future years will make the
same selection, now that we have found
the ideal place.

The feature of the day, of course, was
the baseball game between teams picked
and captained by Homer Wood and Wm.
Thompson, the former winning by a score
of 14 to 4. One of the high spots of the
game was an artistic slide to first base on
the part of Julius Ludwig; however,
Julius suddenly became near-sighted and
pulled his slide a little too soon, for he
was still about 15ft. from first after he
came to a full stop and the dust had
cleared away: After receiving medical
attention from some of our lady atten-
dants, he was able to re-enter the game.
Wm. Thompson and George Mt'Callum
had a head-on collision at second base
when Thompson attempted to steal from
first, but were not sufficiently injured to
receive the treatment accorded Julius. A
disbudding knife was presented to each
player on the winning team, with the
compliments of the McCallum Co.

Other contests and winners (for whom
the club provided prizes) were as follows:
Broad jump — J. P. Sauers; men's race —
Wm. Barnes; ladies' race — Betty Kost;
ladies' ball throwing — Dorothy Smith;
girls' race, under 15 — Dorothy Smith;
boys' race, under 15 — Wm. Klein; boys'
ball throwing — Jas. Morrison.

Bill Usinger had no opponents for the
fat men's race, so this feature was
omitted. Al. Morrison was the heaviest
rooter for both sides at the ball game,
and did a good service by announcing the
batters as they appeared at the plate.
Charlie Ulmer took good care of the
ladies during the dancing.

Many of the old-timers were on hand,
including E. C. Ludwig, Ed. Blend, Billy
Loew, Al. Klein, Carl Lindrotb, M. Bar-
nett, John Walley, Frank Zak, Herman
Ziege'r. Ed. Niggle, Bert and Charlie
Smith and several others of the "old
reliables."

To defray expenses, voluntary subscrip-
tions are solicited. Those who wish to
contribute, in any amount, may send their
checks to J. C. Walley, Zelienople, Pa.
G. C. McCallum.

Heating and Ventilating

Although florists are largely interested
in the subject of heating, it is doubtful
whether many ever consider the possi-
bility of getting ideas from a magazine
devoted to heating and ventilating. The
June issue of the Heating and Ventilating
Magazine before us suggests possibilities,
both from the advertisements and the
various, articles. In any case some of
these are interesting even to the ordinary
layman.

Items that catch our eye are: a super-
regulator for vapor heating; ozone ariner
for purifying air in buildings, which,
might or might not influence plant lite
under glass; a new method of arriving
at heat losses due to wind; the method of
ventilating the great auditorium of Cleve-
land which was to have been the home of
the last National Flower Show; how to
correct stubborn hot water radiators
which refuse to circulate; how to detect
air leakage in boiler settings and waste
from steam traps; data on air line vacuum
heating system; trouble with water logged
pipe coils; what the heating engineers
research laboratory is doing; universal
self cleaning boilers and the prevention
of corrosion in hot water pipes; all these
items are dealt with in text ads or in
articles. Some of them surely are of in-
terest to the greenhouse man.

The Lotus Lilies of Wisconsin

Blooming in a score of Wisconsin's
most beautiful lakes is the great Ameri-
can Lotus (Nelumbo lutea), an aquatic
flower that transcends in beauty and fra-
grance the far-Jfamed Egyptian Lotus.
This delightful plant, which was discov-
ered in this State and described by Thure
Kumlein about 1845, is accorded a high
place in Wisconsin flora. At times, the
blossom reaches the size of a large sun-
flower and has been found fully lOin. in
diameter. Its great size and its delicate,
creamy, white petals, exquisitely fragrant,
make it a flower much sought after.

The Attorney General of Wisconsin,
William J. Morgan, who is a candidate
for the Republication nomination for
Governor, has just ruled that beds of
Egyptian Lotus Lilies in this State, cov-
ering many acres of a number of lakes,
cannot be monopolized by individuals to
the exclusion of trespassers.

The Wisconsin Legislature years ago en-
acted a law that property owners cannot
hold title over the surface or bottoms of
lakes, nor below the high water mark on
the shore. Property owners around these
lakes have no legal warrant for driving
off persons who come to enjoy these
waters.

The Egyptian Lotus Lily is a striking-
ly handsome, large yellow or white flower
with a stem 3ft. or 4ft. long. They grow
by the thousands in the coulees of the
Mississippi River, between Prairie du
Chien and DeSoto and in Lake Puckaway,
near Edgerton, Wis. Their attractive ap-
pearance always brings cries of delight
from the many motor tourists who visit
Wisconsin in increasing numbers every
year since the building of splendid all-
weather highways of concrete and
gravel. J. R. W.

Heating Query

How much glass can we heat from a
Mills boiler, No. 34 — 10 sections.-— J. S.,
N. Y.

— The boiler you refer to has a grate
28inx54in., or 10*4 sq. ft., and is rated
by the manufacturers of the boiler to
heat 5950 sq. ft. of hot water radiation
or 3600 sq. ft. of steam radiation when
installed in a dwelling house. But if in-
stalled to heat a greenhouse of ordinary
sound construction, tightly glazed with
double thick glass, I figure that it would
heat a house having equivalent to 8300
sq. ft. of exposed glass surface, and would
then have a surplus boiler capacity of
20 per cent. J. N. McArthur.

Gentlemen :

In reply to your inquiry as to what I think of Thrip Juice, I wish to say
that I consider it the greatest insecticide in existence. It will absolutely kill
red spider, thrip, aphis, etc., which is something no other or few will do. I have
used it for the last ten years and during that time it has saved me a good
many dollars. I always recommend it to other florists. The majority I have
talked to have never heard of it. I advise you to advertise more its merits.

Yours truly,

Trade Notes

Aug. 8. — The past week started out
very quietly, trade really inclined to dull-
ness; but, wow, what a sizzling finish.
Practically every store in the city cleaned
up by mid-day Saturday, and hardly any
stock available to carry on till closing
time.

And a bank was the seat of all the ex-
citement and rush. Busted! not on your
life! The Seattle National Bank opened
its new half million dollar building to
the public on Saturday morning. Kesult:
floral congratulations from all over the
West, with local florists swaruped with
orders from all sides, many of them by
F. T. D. service. Members of the trade
say that the building contained the largest
number of floral pieces and baskets, the
latter being in tlie majority, ever seen
assembled at one time in tbe history^ of
the city. Just to help out, as a side line,
there was the opening of a large store, at
which elaborate floral decorations were
the order, and a more than normal num-
ber of weddings, and, to top up, a million-
aire's funeral. Apparently everybody got
a share of the spoils, so no wonder 1
found a bunch of much satisfied florists
on my usual Monday's visit to the trade.

The B. Hammond Co. reports out of
city trade still keeping up, with some im-
provement on last week's business. Their
trade in florists' supplies shows steady in-
crease.

Hollywood Gardens, through Sam Dun-
lap, say they were cleared out of stock,
ana turned down customers on Saturday
afternoon, and that they have not handled
so many elaborate baskets in so short a
time for over a year. Table decorations
of high quality have been in brisk demand,
and are more numerous than usual at this
season of the year.

By-the-by, Sam and Mrs. Dunlap had
11 cut-throat trout, landed by them on
their vacation, entered in the anglers com-
petition organized by a local sports out-
fitting store. Look what you missed,
"Woolgatherer." [Oh, my hat! — Ed.] This
store is in the hands of the decorators,
who are cleaning and re-decorating it
throughout. Business is, however, going
on as usual.

The Woodlawn Flower Store is receiv-
ing many favorable comments on their
attractive and educational window dis-
plays of various fish and birds, arranged
with natural settings. They report a
great run of business for the week-end.

Rosaia Bros, say business very fine,
with quite a demand for decorations at
private residences. Stock of good quality
is fairly plentiful, while many annuals,
such as Coreopsis, Scabious, Candytuft
and Godetia, are now in heavy cut at
their Thomas, Wash., establishment. Geo.
Rosaia, with wife and family, is on an
auto tour.

Felix Rosaia is doing a large trade in
Gladioli. Halley, Prince of Wales and
Mrs. Frank Pendleton were grand qualfty.

McCoy's Flower Shop reports the new
100ft. greenhouse at their plant finished
and ready for planting.

Fred Winters of Newport, Bellevue,
Wash., is bringing in fine Gladioli and
Eryngimum ameythistum. He has been
rallying out growing trials with the vari-
ous Spirajas forced by the trade. Results
have been so satisfactory that he proposes

planting them on a large scale for an-
other season. Fred is also very interested
in the culture of various Lilies, and has
invited your scribe to look over his trials.
I hope to do so very shortly.

D. F. McKaigh, late of North Yakima,
Wash., is now a member of the firm of
Randalls Seeds, Madison st., Seattle. Mr.
McKaigh is a trained seedsman, having
formerly been with the Jacob Kaufman
Seed Co. of this city.

Gladiolus Society Formed

At a meeting of amateur and com-
mercial growers, held last week, the
Seattle Gladiolus Club was organized. Its
purpose is to stimulate interest in the
growing of Gladioli, which appear pe-
culiarly adapted to the Puget Sound
climate.

The officers of the club are: President,
Oscar E. Jensen, Richmond Beach; vice-
president, Dr. L. L. Ballou, Seattle;
secretary, Herbert L. Collier, Seattle;
treasurer, W. E. Sherbrooke, Kirkland;
executive board, 0. B. Thorgrinison, A. H.
Brackett, H. G. Tremaine, Seattle.

Weather and the Market

General Summer conditions pre-
vail and apparently regular trade is well
up to last year's standard. Flowers of
all kinds are plentiful but the prices —
both wholesale and retail — hold up well.

Today is the first that the weather
bureau has registered rain in more than
61 days. The moisture is very welcome
even if the Multnomah County Fair con-
siders itself a jinx. It never fails to
rain on Multnomah Fair days whether
they are early or late in the season. The
date this year was set unprecedently early
so as to avoid the proverbial rain, and it
sure looked like a dry week — for a while.

Single Asters have made their appear-
ance and as usual are favorites. Zinnias
are becoming more plentiful every day
and soon, when the height of the crop is
reached many will go out via the rear
exit. Peas from outside tne city are com-
ing in in fine shape. The local crop is
of somewhat poor quality but much in evi-
dence. In fact, there are more Peas than
the market can normally consume, so
some are being sold for a song and others
remain unsold. The Gladiolus with its
many novelties, is to a great extent the
bread and butter of the market. Some of
the Primulinus varieties offer wonderful
possibilities in basket arrangement. Many
amateur and semi-amateur Gladiolus fan-
ciers or growers are fast edging into the
professional class and as usual the pub-
lic market is their first refuge. Let it be
said that quantities of this flower are
sold there and at any price that the pub-
lic will pay. It is a problem as to what
this will lead to in the end, but one thing
is sure: Should the retail shop be forced
to handle the entire output of local grown
Glads the bottom would drop out of the
market.

News Notes

Henry Rosaia, a local grower of
Dahlias, Sweet Peas, Violets and other
outside flowers, has a new Gaillardia that
deserves to completely put the older one
out of the running. It is more double
and has twice the substance of its prede-
cessor. It would repay all growers to
look into this new flower, as it surely is
a winner.

The latest addition to Florists' Row is
The Holden Floral Co.'s new retail estab-
lishment under the name of Holden's
Flower Shop. The entire shop, finished
in two tones of gray, is' located at one
of the busiest corners in the city. It will
have a large wholesale department in the
basement. The trade wisnes the new ven-
ture success.

On Sunday, Aug. 6, the Oregon Florists
Club held its annual picnic at Montrose
Park. Some 250 florists, wives, children
and friends spent a very pleasant day
forgetting their ages in games, swimming,
dancing and, last but not least, eating.
Some lunch baskets exceeded the capacity
of their owners so there was a general
chorus of "Won't you try some of this,"
and "I know you'd like some of these,"
etc., etc. At any rate none left hungry.
The mustached klan that ran in the pie
eating contest can least of all say there
was; not enough for all. Judging from
the way some of the women wielded the
hammer they don't need men around the
house to drive nails.

All in all it was a delightful affair and
every one had a good time, including those
(some of whom you find everywhere), who
have a good time made for them, and

those who cannot make a good time and
for whom no one can ordinarily make one.
Yes, even they were pleased.

Bowlers take notice! Training will
start in September. H. N.

News Notes

The St. Paul Gardeners Associa-
tion will hold its annual picnic at Univer-
sity Farm Aug. 19. An inspection of the
plots will be made after which there will
be games and a picnic supper.

The Ramsey County Men's Garden Club
will have a show Aug. 24 and 25 in the
Gas Company's Building. About $S00
is offered in prizes, a large part of which
is for flowers. A fine Gladiolus display
is expected.

The Minnesota State Florists Associa-
tion and the Minneapolis Florists Club
held a picnic at Wild Wood Aug 8. It
was well attended and a fine time was

ing were the main features. The various

Trade Conditions

The growers' business can be sum-
med up as follows: All stock has been
transferred from the field or planted
in the bench. Such as was dried oft' is
beginning' to break and some vases are
being cut; small and short stems, but very
useful.

C. D. Niednagel of Julius Niednagel, is
placing the glass on two new houses to
be devoted to Carnations. He has re-
versed the usual order in such work. He
first built his benches and planted direct
from pots to bench and built his houses
around them. tiis Carnations did not
therefore require the usual transplanting
from field to house. The result is that
his plants are of unusual size and vigor,
as we have had a favorable season, fre-
quent rains and cool nights.

Fmil H. Niednagel devotes his entire
attention to the cut flower end of the
business.

Carl Ziedler is in Germany visiting
relatives and friends and reports having
a good time. His son, Carl, with other
sons, is conducting the business during
the absence of their father.

The Lockyear Floral Co. are making
some changes at their Virginia st. plant
and are contemplating building at both
places. We hope to make announcement
of their plans in the near future.

All report good business for the Sum-
mer; in fact, better than usual, consist-
ing principally of funeral work. Com-
bined with the local trade, is the demand
from nearby towns which helps to make
the business from a financial standpoint,
quite gratifying.

Just now we are wondering about the
coal supply. There is abundance of coal
right under Evansville, but what will be
the cost per ton or how deliveries are to
be made we know not. W. H.

C. F. Bertanzel's

of Roslyn

Was the First House We Hit on the Trail

Being Number One
of the Long Island Trail Hittings

When it was rumored that Mr.
Bertanzel was planning to put
up three L. & B. iron framers, his
neighbors and friends were a
good bit surprised, as he had
for years been strong for another
concern's construction. But, be
that as it may, he already has
one of our 50 x 250 foot houses
erected, and the ground graded
for another, and the stakes
driven for a third.

He has erected an entirely new
boiler house for his 135 horse-
power L. & B. Tubular boilers,
each one of which will take care
of 60,000 square feet. When our
trail hitters drew up in front

Mother's Carnation

It is in these new houses that
the potted plants of Mr. Bertan-
zel's new Hardy White Moth-
er's Carnation will be grown.
Here is a decided novelty
having proven merit. It is
perfectly hardy, a compact
grower and requires no stak-
ing. A prolific bloomer, de-
lightfully fragrant. Even field
grown blooms average 2'/2
inches across.

Just the plant for Mother's
Day. A valuable addition for
Decoration Day. Buy your
plants now for this Fall's
setting out. Will Winter per-
fectly. Stock ready for de-
livery in October.

with their auto and trailer, Mr.
Bertanzel was away scouring the
Island for stock. So far he has
never been able to grow any-
where near enough to supply
his customers.

As everybody knows, who knows
Mr. Bertanzel, he is what you
would say, "mighty well fixed."
But he is the kind of man, who
if he had an income of a million
a year, he would still be plan-
ning for bigger things. When
it's in a man to do things, he
does things. Nothing stops him.
We are, indeed, most fortunate
to number the Bertanzels among
our friends.

Franklin Park Houses at Boston

It is generally conceded that this is the largest
single park range built at one time, devoted
solely to the propagating and growing of bedding
plants and the housing of decorative palms.

There are ten houses in all, two of which were
formerly in Mount Hope Cemetery. They were
built for the City eighteen or twenty years ago.
Our contract called for taking them down, and
re-erecting them at Franklin Park.

The heating system for the range is gravity
steam. The Park Department advises us that in

the coldest weather of last Winter, the palm
house wing, which is farthest from the boiler,
was heated to 65 degrees throughout the night,
with but a pound of steam showing on the boilers.

The architects were Haven and Hoyt, who have
been retained on many of Boston's important
works.

We will gladly furnish you any further particu-
lars, along with interior views of the model work-
room and greenhouses.

The entire six 11-foot propagating and growing bouses arc directly joined to a model head house or potting shed. From it, the entire
range can be reached (without going outside. When you consider that there is a slope of 13 feet from the front of the palm house to

the last propagating house, you appreciate what some of the building complications were.

THIRTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL CONVENTION

Kansas City, Mo., August 15, 16, 17, 1922

Final Report, covering Wednesday and Thursday Sessions — More Important Papers — Complete List of

Delegates for Entire Convention — Snapshots and Notes on the Trade Exhibits

— The Log of the Henshaw-Pierson Auto Expedition

Wednesday Afternoon Session— Aug. 16

AT the opening of this session, after President
Pennoek had called the meeting to order, the dis-
cussion of the amendments followed, Thomas
Roland as the prime mover of these amendments be-
ing requested to take the chair. As each of the amend-
ments were read by Secretary John Young, Mr. Roland
briefly explained their purport and, from the result
of the voting which was announced on the Thursday,
these explanations by ex-President Roland must have
been fully satisfactory to the delegates.

The features were as follows : An address on "Co-
operative Advertising," by Samuel M. Kinney, Divi-
sion of Commercial Research of the Advertising De-
partment of the Curtis Pub. Co., Philadelphia. Mr.
Kinney's address was a lengthy one — one of the best
ever presented before the society — and was listened to
with great attention. Mr. Kinney was given a rising
vote of thanks.

Following this, George M. Stumpp of New York
read an address on "National Publicity," in which he
sought to present a helpful hand to the publicity work
being conducted by the S. A. F. and O. H.

This speaker wasl followed by Major P. F. O'Keefe,
whose address will be found on page 482.

Peter Pearson of Chicago followed the latest speak-
er on the subject of advertising, relating what was
being done in Chicago. As chairman of the Publicity
effort there he reported: "We were working on the
basis of one-half of one per cent from the growers
and the retailers. After fifteen months, the growers
decided to increase their assessment to one per cent,
at which rate Chicago will collect about $60,000 a year,
and most of that will be spent on local advertising.
Under the first arrangement the collection amounted
to but $32,000 a year. Mr. Pearson gave it as his
opinion that if all the cities, especially the larger
centers of the florist business would get busy and or-
ganize, appointing committees to translate such ar-
rangements into work, far greater success would be
had in collecting a sufficient publicity fund. In reply
to this inquiry : 'If 16,000 florists planned to spend
a sum of $1,000,000 a year for local advertising, what
should be the yearly appropriation for the National
Publicity.' Reply : 'Not fully answerable,' said Major
O'Keefe; 'but $1,000,000 spent nationally would be
worth as much as $2,000,000 spent locally.' "

Before adjournment, a Committee on Final Resolu-
tions was appointed : J. C. Vaughan, Chas. C. Mueller
and Irwin Bertermann.

Also the committee on the resolution to be submit-
ted to the Fuel Administration : W. R. Pierson, Jo-
seph Kohout and James Heacock.

Thursday Morning Session — Aug. 17

The Annual Election

This session was given over practically entirely to
the election and voting on the amendments. This
election feature marks the culminating point of ex-
citement in an S. A. F. and O. H. convention, and
bright and early members were flocking to the con-
vention hall, prepared to record their votes on behalf
of their favorite candidates, as well as same time
make known the decision on the amendments. The
polls were open from 10 a.m. until all in line had
voted. Too much space cannot be accorded to the
systematic arrangement under which the voting was
conducted and again to the tellers who, through their
quick action, were enabled to make their report very
shortly after the polls were closed. The only other
features of this session were two presentations to

For Vice-President

WALLACE R. PIERSON of Cromwell, Conn

For Secretary

JOHN YOUNG of New York

For Treasurer

J. J. HESS of Omaha, Neb.

For Directors

Roy F. Wilcox of Montebello, Calif.

Paul F. Klingsporn of Chicago

leading S. A. F. members, one made known through
the program ; the other unannounced.

Presentations

There were two presentations made during this
session, both remarkable in their way, and both serv-
ing to illustrate that there are times when a man's
good work on behalf of an association does receive
recognition.

The first presentation was to Thos. Roland, of
Nahant, Mass., for the wonderful work he did at
the recent National Flower Show at Indianapolis in
bringing to that city from his far Eastern establish-
ment the wonderful display .of Acacias which, with
their golden racemes and their appearance of light-
ness and elegance, were the great attraction of tho
show. The presentation consisted of twelve hammered
silver goblets with silver pitcher to. match. Mr. Ro-
land appeared to be completely taken by surprise at
this gift, and it was some moments before he could
command himself to express the appreciation with
which he received it. He expressed his ardent desire
that he might have been able to separate the gift into
pieces, so that there would be one piece for all who
had worked so well — and there were scores of them —
for the Indianapolis National Flower Show.

The second presentation was that of the society's
gold medal of honor awarded to Geo. Asmus. This
is given by the society but once in five years to a
member of the S. A. F. and O. H. who during that
period "shall have rendered services best calculated
to advance the largest interest in the society."

In response, Mr. Asmus, who was not taken by sur
prise because the announcement thereof appeared in
the program, spoke briefly and gracefully. He could
not understand why "poor little me" should have
been selected out of hundreds of others equally or
more deserving, but nevertheless had reason to feel
proud of this signal honor conferred upon him.

Thursday Afternoon Session— Aug. 17

The first business in order was the report of the
judges of the exhibits. Apparently the committees
went much more exhaustively into the examination of
the exhibits than has been done for some years past.
Their report is voluminous and will be found on an-
other page.

Report of Tellers

In all. there were 2S6 votes cast and this is the way
the tellers reported :

For President

C. C. Pollworth, of Milwaukee, received 122 votes.
Irwin Bertermann, of Indianapolis, received 164 votes.

For Vice-President

Wallace R. Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn., was the
only candidate and he received 266 votes.

Secretary and Treasurer

There was no opposition to John Young for the
secretaryship nor to J. J. Hess for the office of treas-
urer ; the former received 271 votes ; the latter, 275.

For Two National Society Directors for Three Years

Outside of the competition for the presidency, the
only other was that for directors, of whom three were
in nomination and but two to he selected. The tellers
reported : Roy F. Wilcox, of Montebello, Calif., re-
ceived 230 votes; Max Schling, of New York, 110:
1*8111 F. Klingsporn, of Chicago, 177.

The Amendments

Then followed the report on the vote for the amend-
ments, of which there were 13. These amendments,
fathered by Thomas Roland, of Nahant, represented
the solid and sober thought of the Executive Board
who, at its mid-Lent session, had spent much time in
deliberation both as to their intent and their phrase-
ology, all in the desire to assist the S. A. F. and O. H.
in its practical workings. The delegates had been
1 closely reminded to read them carefully and to fully
instruct themselves on what each and every amend-
ment was intended to cover so that they could vote
with intelligence and understanding. The tellers re-
ported all these amendments from No. 1 to No. 13 as
carried.

Appropriation of $2500 to the National Publicity Fund

One more vote has to be placed on record, which
was the recommendation of the Executive Board that
$2500 be appropriated from the general fund to the
National Publicity Fund and this was carried by a
vote of 227 in its favor, with but 24 against it. This
is the first appropriation, as we understand it, which
has been made by the Society of American Florists
on behalf of the Publicity Fund. It is true that an
appropriation of $5000 bad been made at a previous
convention but, owing to the fact that at that time
the funds were not available, the appropriation was
not made.

The severally elected officers were then called to
the platform, the voters wishing to hear from them.
C. C. Pollworth, of Milwaukee, requested that th'.-;
election of Mr. Bertermann be made unanimous, while
Max Schling did the same in the directorate competi-
tion, so that President Pennoek was enabled to pro-
nounce the candidates we have herewith given as the
unanimously elected officers for 1923.

There was little miscellaneous or unfinished bust
ness to come before the meeting and as the Final Reso-
lutions were ready for presentation, these were then
read, after which adjournment to 1923 was taken.

Report of Committee on President's Address

We advise that the president's suggestion regard-
ing multiple membership publicity plan be referred
to your publicity committee.

We endorse the suggestion for annual national show
to be held in various sections of the country where
conditions are practical.

We approve of and suggest the sending of an offi-
cial representative of our society annually to the an-
nual meetings of the Society pf Canadian Florists and
Gardeners.

We urge that a suitable letter of protest to Secre-
tary Wallace of the LT. S. Department of Agriculture
be prepared, approved by your president and sent pro-
testing against the non-recognition of our organiza-
tion on the jury at the recent conference and against
the insinuation in the conference report that the

Report of Committee on Final Resolutions

The Society of American Florists and Ornamental
Horticulturists appreciates deeply the earnestness,
efficiency and energy displayed by Kansas City, the
"Heart of America." in the preparations and pub-
licity for this, the society's 38th annual convention
and exhibition. The society recognizes not only the
very large amount of work done, but also the thought-
fulness that discerned the many conventional oppor-
tunities for service and found new ways to arouse
interest in the exhibition and the meeting. Therefore,
be it

Resolved, That we express our cordial thanks to
the Kansas City Florists Club and to the many com-
mittees of the club to which specific duties were as-
signed, and commend both the completeness of the
organization for the task, and the delightful perfec-
tion of the results.

We wish particularly to recognize and express ap-
preciation of the extraordinary cooperation afforded
by the Chamber of Commerce of Kansas City, Mo.,
in behalf of the success of the convention and exhibi-
tion ; and to declare that the spirit and practical
operation of the Convention Bureau of this Chamber
of Commerce are unprecedented examples of flowery
promises materialized into useful help. We must
mention specifically Mr. Frank M. Robinson, mana-
ger of the Convention Bureau, who extended Kansas
City's invitation, and who through his associate.
W. M. Symon. publicity director of the Chamber, so
efficiently cooperated with the Kansas City Florists
Club and the officers of the society. And be it further

Resolved. That we put on record our appreciation
of the cordial manner in which other organizations
of Kansas City, including the Cooperative Club, the
Rotary Club, the Kiwanis. Club, the Cosmopolitan
(lull and the Lions' Club, upon suggestion from local
florist members, helped to make our visit pleasant.
Also oui- thanks to the news press for unusually lib-
eral and understanding news and feature articles ; to
the trade press for the great amount of advance pub-
licity ; to the exhibitors and their representatives for
pleasant relations; to many Kansas City individuals
and firms for incidental favors; and to* the Conven-
tion Hall organization for exceptionally good conven-
tion arrangements and conduct.

Report of National Publicity Committee

By George Asmus, Chairman Finance Committee

Before reading the financial report of this com-
mittee, I wish to call your attention to what I call
a serious situation. We are gradually going back ia
this important work. Our report shows that we will
have hard work to come up to last year's grand total
of $38,000, and that was $22,000 short of our high
water mark in 1920, despite the fact that the result
of this campaign has been the talk of business indus-
tries in the United States and Canada.

We have, of course, made other valuable accom-
plishments, such as organizing <a number of allied
associations, anil have been the -cause of gigantic
advertising done by individuals and organizations,
the result of which lias indeed been very beneficial.
However, new methods must be employed to secure

money, although the subscription plan must be main-
tained until our problem of raising funds has been
solved. Many new ways are being contemplated, and
1 hope that in whatever form our committee works
them out for your consideration, you will accept them
as the one best business investment you have made.

The remarkable condition of our industry during
the last two years as compared with almost any other,
is evidence of what has been accomplished with the
money you have subscribed. However, this is a criti-
cal time for all industries, and we must fight for our
share of business.

I often wonder when looking over the list of sub-
scribers and see the many $5 and $10 subscriptions,
if the donors realize how very small are the amounts
I hey are subscribing. They give as much toward a
prize at a lodge picnic, and yet invest the same amount
to promote their business so that they can live and
pay for this and all their other advertising. Great,
isn't it? The $5 per year man is paying a little over
one cent a day. The $10 a year man is more liberal;
lie pays very nearly three cents a day — about the
price of his daily paper. But it is all right if it rests
his conscience. It surely doesn't help the National
Publicity very much, as I figure it costs about that
to carry subscribers on its books.

The S. A. F. and O. H., with its large treasury, its
steady increase every year, ought to be the largest
subscriber. Let us all do our part in the work which
has been so great a factor in the success of our busi-
ness.

New Regulations on Importation of Rhododendrons,
Azalea and Japanese Maple Seedlings

i \ firs item from Press Serv-iee, V. 8. Dept. of Agri.)

Washington, D. C, Aug. 22, 1922. — Because of the
scarcity of the domestic supply of certain plants that
have been excluded from the country by Quarantine
:17. tlie Federal Horticultural -Board of the United
States Department of Agriculture has made tempo-
rary modification of its provisions extending the pe-
riod in which they may be brought in. This applies
to Rhododendron ponticum and Azalea, pontksa, which
have not been permitted entrance since June 1, 1922,
except for propagation purposes. Special permits
valid until July 1, 1923, will be issued for plants of
three years' growth or less, with the roots washed
free of sand, soil or earth.

Special permits also will be issued for the same
period permitting the importation of seedlings of the
Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum) of three years'
growth or less, with the roots washed free of sand,
soil or earth.

Snapdragon

Be wise and have a big supply of Snap-
dragon the coming |Winter. There's a
reason. Coal will be scarce and high; Car-
nation plants are of poor quality and
scarce, and bulb stock, particularly Paper-

a lot of [seedling Snapdragons ready to
fill all empty space. Seed may be sown
any time. Plants should be ready to

Notes from Abroad i'f^j I

July has brought us mostly cool, show-
ery weather and about twice the average
precipitation of moisture. Cut flowers
have been coming into the market in ex-
tensive quantity, but buyers were not in
their usual force, and prices of some arti-
cles came down with a rush until they as-
sumed quite a pre-war appearance. Asters
are now quite plentiful; also Scabious
and Centaureas, while Lavateras, Statice,
Clarkias and perennial Phlox occupy
prominent positions on the stalls.

In the southern growing districts of
Fiance hopes are entertained of a fair
average crop of flower seeds as far as an-
nuals are concerned, but perennials and
biennials have suffered during the Winter
and will mostly be short. The growers
have had to contend against adverse con-
ditions, frosts in early Spring, fierce heat
in May and variable weather with plenty
of north wind since, but to the visitor
from the North things appear to be in
fairly good shape on the whole. The wind
breaking hedges of Cypress and giant
reeds fulfill their protective purpose well.

From France generally, we hear that
Sugar Beet is expected to yield a fair
crop, but Swiss Chards will give very lit-
tle. A large acreage has been sown of
Cress and average crops are awaited of
Parsley and Spinach. Beans of the long
pod class are not quite so plentiful as
was anticipated, but prices being advan-
tageous, large purchases are already being
made.

Holland men report small acreage of
Beans, Carrot, Held and garden Beets,
Parsley and Parsnip, but the plantations
made there are looking very well. Still
smaller breadths are out to the Brassica
tribe, Cabbages, Brussels Sprouts. Turnips
and Rutabagas, but of these there are
considerable stocks of overyear seed. Of
Onions, Leeks and Lettuce, there is said
to be hardly any; Radishes and Cucum-
bers are stated to be under average.
Cauliflower and Spinach are in good
shape and expected to yield well. In
flower seeds, biennials and perennials, as
elsewhere, are scarce, but annuals, with
a few important exceptions, are appar-
ently prospering and should render satis-
factory returns.

It is agreeable to be able to record a
reduction of 25 per cent in freight rates
on the British railroads. This will bene-
fit the horticultural trades to a consider-
able extent, especially as regards heavy
articles such as Potatoes. A further re-
form much desired by the seedsman in
particular is the abolition of the rule for
compulsory pre-payment on parcels sent
by express or passenger trains and a re-
turn to pre-war practice in this respect.
Transatlantic Seedsman.

A Smaller Bulb Business this Season

The volume of bulb business during the
Autumn of 1922 and the Winter of 1923
will inevitably be much smaller than in
former years when crop conditions were
normal. The reason for this is obvious;
the crop of French grown Narcissi and
Hyacinths is extremely short; that of
Dutch bulbs, too, is below medium; Lilium
formosum bulbs are an exceedingly short
crop; it is reported from Japan that the
Lilium giganteum crop will probably be
much below normal; and the crop of
Lilium candidum bulbs, both those in
Southern and Northern France is ex-
tremely small. Lily of the Valley, not
strictly a bulbous plant, but closely akin
to these commercially, promises a crop of
pips larger than in 1921. but not as large
as in normal pre-war years. Coming near-
er home we are advised that the crop of
Lilium Harrisii is fully up to normal, but
this crop in recent years has never been

large enough to be an important factor
in the aggregate Lily bulb supply. Freesias
are an unprecedentedly short crop es-
pecially in the larger sizes. Calla Ethio-
pica bulbs are far below normal in num-
ber, and so are Spanish Iris, Iris tingi-
tana and Baby Gladioli. No final report
on the crop of large flowered Gladiolus
bulbs is yet available, but we are advised
that the outlook in the East at least,
where the rainfall has been abundant, is
that the crop will be large. At the same
time Gladioli, although the flowers of the
modern varieties are exceedingly beauti-
ful, as forcing bulbs are in a class by
themselves.

Two questions arise out of this unpreee-
l dented shortage of so many kinds of bulbs,
namely, what will the bulb importers and
those dealing in bulbs (for example the
seedsmen) do to make up for the decrease
in the volume of Autumn sales caused by
these bulb shortages? And, second, what
will the commercial flower growers, who
are usually large forcers of bulbs, do to
keep their output of flowers as large as
in years when the bulk supply is normal?
Probably both the importers and
seedsmen on the one hand and the bulb
forcers on the other are able to answer
this question better than we can, but it
occurs to us that the seedsmen may make
up for the decrease in other bulb sales
by increased sales of Gladiolus bulbs,
and Lily of the Valley pips, and
of such seeds as Pansy, Cyclamen,
Primula, Cineraria, Calceolaria^ Sweet
Pea, Calendula, Marigold and Snapdragon;
while the bulb forcers will make up for
the decrease of their output of other bulb-
ous flowers by planting more of the above
mentioned materials. The only alternative
would appear to be an attempt through
increased prices of bulbs and of the flow-
ers produced from them to make the same
profit on a smaller volume of business.

The Holland office of F. Rynveld & Sons
advises its New York house that the
first large shipment of Dutch bulbs was
forwarded from Rotterdam Aug. 19th.
The season is about two weeks later than
last year, quite some difficulty being en-
countered in drying the bulbs due to
wet weather. The S. S. Patria, due to
arrive Aug. 24, will bring the last lot of
i the French bulbs to this house.
I Vaughan's Seed Store, 41-43 Barclay
| St., has just received from its California
| growers a large shipment of Calla bulbs;
Lilium candidum bulbs are expected soon
| and French Roman Hyacinths and Soleil
1 d'Or Narcissi will arrive on the S. S.
( Patria. The demand for Lilium formo-
sum, or L. Harrisii and French bulbs con-
tinues strong. Iris ting^tana will be
ready for September delivery. Vaughan's
salesmen report booking a goodly number
of orders at the S. A. F. Convention. Mr.
Watson of the flower seed department
has returned from his vacation.

Some Dutch growers are advising their
customers that the bulk of Dutch bulbs
will be delivered late this year on ac-
count of the rainy weather which makes
it impossible to dry the bulbs.

A recent visitor in this city was N.
A. Hallauer of Ontario, N. Y. Mr. Hal-
lauer carries on a wholesale and retail
business in Gladioli, Dahlias, Peonies and
other perennial roots.

Boston Seed Trade

After an uncommonly busy and prosper-
ous Spring and Summer season, the seed
stores are hard at work getting ready
for a late Summer and early Fall trade,
making improvements and new arrange-
ments in the store . layouts and giving
things a general overhauling and painting
np. The time for vacations is being tak-
en advantage of and there is constant de-
parting and arriving among the heads of
firms and among the employees.

At R. & J. Farquhar Co.'s we notice
one of the show windows filled with splen-
did potted Strawberries, for which there
is an enormous demand. Another window
shows samples of the most familiar and
choice perennial flowering plants from
their nurseries at Dedham, Sharon and on
the Cape. Within a year or two, the
firm will introduce its new and most dis-
tinct Hollyhock, which has not yet been
named. This new Hollyhock is destined
to create a furore among lovers of hardy
garden flowers and may easily reach the
popularity which distinguished the ar-
rival of Rudbeckia Golden Glow. The
new Hollyhock comes true from seed,
forming a plant which sends up a number
of flowering spikes. The flowers are of
the most perfect formation, with symetri-
cal, wide guard petals, surrounding a dense
fluffy cushion. The color of the flower
is that exquisite, lovely rich pink found
in newly opened Enchantress Supreme Car-
nations, giving it a wondrously chaste and
pleasing appearance. Without doubt, this
new Hollyhock will take by storm, the
fancy of the flower loving public.

The store has received advance ship-
ments of Paperwhite Narcissi, which find
a much reduced demand on account of
price. The opinion prevails here, as in
other stores, that the extravagant prices
which the French growers see fit to de-
mand for Paperwhites are going to re-
act against their use and that Paper-
whites will meet, eventually, the fate of
the Roman Hyacinths. Freesias also have
arrived and find a good demand. Small
sizes are to be had in any quantity, but
the large ones are hard to obtain.

There has been this year, an uncommon-
ly large demand for seeds of everlastings
and at present the inquiries for plants
for Fall planting, are more than satisfac-
tory.

Carters Tested Seeds report a splendid
trade during Spring and Summer. Their
department for golf supplies and seeds
for golf links experienced the greatest ac-
tivity since its inception. Orders in this
department were exceptionally numerous
and large from the Southern States and
especially from Florida. The trade in
vegetable and flower seeds has also shown
new high records and the Fall trade is
setting in better than expected. Norman
Howden, manager of the firm's Boston
branch, has just returned from his vaca-
tion, which he spent in New Hampshire.
Following the demonstration at the New-
ton golf links, last Spring, the firm sold
a number of their tractor lawn mowers.
J. P. Guerineau of Thos. J. Gray Co.
has nothing but praise for the way trade
has favored his firm this year. There
has been, and still is, an insistent de-
mand for Beans for August planting and
the force at the store is busy shipping
orders for Freesias, Paperwhites and Har-
risii Lilies. The Paperwhite and also the
Harrisii bulbs are of extra fine quality;
clean, firm and well ripened. The latter
are Bermuda stock and all are sold in ad-
vance. There has been a tremendous move-
ment in Freesia bulbs, so that the pres-
ent stock is about exhausted. Holland
grown Spinach, which is by many con-
sidered the best, is also selling well, and
grass seed, of which several cars have been
received lately, is going at a great rate.
Then there is an almost unprecedented
demand for Winter Rye. Lawn mowers of
all makes have sold as never before, on
account of the frequent showers which
make the grass grow all around. The
store finds it hard to keep on hand enough
cider mills. Prohibition is good for this
trade, if for nothing else.

At the store of Joseph Breck & Sons
business goes its even gait at all times.
The firm really represents a monstrous
department store in the seed, plant, imple-
ment, poultry supplies and wooden ware
lines. All departments have shown sub-
stantial gains over former years and trade
at present is as brisk as might be expected,
while orders for Fall delivery are unus-
ually heavy. The new Begonia "Helena
Harms," which the firm introduced this
season, has found a grand welcome and is
giving universal satisfaction.

Fottler, Fiske, Rawson Co. are making a
great display of fancy Dahlias in one of
their show windows. All day long there
is to be found a crowd of interested men
and women taking notes and discussing the
merits of the beautiful flowers, which are
exhibited in great variety. In the other
window is an array of garden tools and
especially prominent a selection of spray-
ing and dusting implements and ingredi-
ents to be used with them. The firm re-

The Florists' Exchange

ports an excellent trade in all the vari-
ous lines of its business. Bulb sales were
never larger and the business done in
seeds and plants was also without
precedent. This firm also carries a big
stock of poultry supplies and deals in
Hatching* eggs, dneubators , and day-old
chicks, for all of which the demand al-
ways is increasing.

Philadelphia Seedsmen

F. Ely of Michell's is back from his va-
cation. This firm started Aug. 21 mailing
out its wholesale bulb catalog.

Hosea Waterer is doing a nice business.
Anthony Waterer will return from a few
days' vacation Aug. 28, Harry Waterer
having returned Aug. 21.

Business was picking up last week at
Dreer's. This firm's early single and
double Tulips and French bulbs are now
in, as is the case with the stock of nearly
all bulb importers in the city.

The . Moore Seed Co. reports business
a little slow last week, but at that better
than the same week last year.

Chicago Seed Trade

The lady employees of the W. W.
Barnard Co. held an outing at Lincoln
Park, Saturday afternoon, Aug. 12.
R. B. Howe, president of the company
and Henry Bertoli returned Saturday,
from the convention at Kansas City.

French bulbs, Golden Spur, Roman
Hyacinths, and Paperwhite Narcissus
are on display at all the seed stores. The
quality is much better than was antici-
pated, and the stock is moving .well for
this early in the season ; dealers claim
they have no trouble in getting $1 per
doz. retail for the dry bulbs of the Pa-
perwhites.

Vaughan's Seed Store has an interest-
ing exhibit of cut Gladioli blooms at the
store each day. A neatly printed list,
giving the names of one hundred or more
different varieties, is handed to visitors
for the purpose of checking off the va-
rieties that interest them most for fu-
ture reference.

C. W. Scott, of the Yokohama Nursery
Co., returned from the convention Thurs-
day morning and left on the Twentieth
Century train for New York City. Mr.
Scott liked- the climate of Chicago far
better than that of the convention city.
He is of the opinion that the convention
should never be held further west than
Chicago.

A. Miller and I. Rosnosky, of the
American Bulb Co.. who represented
their house at the convention, returned
Saturday. To them also the cooling lake
breeze was highly acceptable.

Sam. J. Pearce returned the past week
from a six weeks' trip to his old home
in England feeling very much improved
from the trip. He was accompanied by
his two sons. While in London he vis-
ited Kew Gardens and other noted horti-
cultural establishments in that section.

Miss Martha Gunterberg, the retiring
president of the Ladies S. A. F., was
presented with a handsome diamond ring
as a token of the esteem in which she is
held by the members of the organization.

Jas. C. Neilsen, of the Poehlmann
Bros. Co., did not go to the convention
but instead was busy packing his sam-
ple trunks for a long trip to Minneapolis
and the Northwest. The trip will be
made by auto and Mrs. Neilsen goes
along with him.

Numerous visitors from the East
passed through the city Saturday return-
ing from the convention. John Young,
who was here last Fall, was at that
time so impressed with the conservatory
at Garfield Park, that he took the en-
tire party out there Saturday afternoon.
The visitors were highly pleased iwith
the trip and the beauty of the conserva-
tory and the rare stock it contains.

Evansville, Ind.

William V. Haberer, president of the
Ohio Valley Seed Co., died at his home
in Evansville, Ind., Aug. 8, following a
stroke of apoplexy, in his 67th year. He
was ready to leave for a trip through
Kentucky when he was stricken. He was
well known to the farmers and seedsmen
of the Central Western States, and is sur-
vived by his wife and two daughters.

Tariff Changes Affecting Bulbs,
Seeds and Plants

For the benefit of its readers the
Washington bureau of The Florists
Exchange has prepared the following
summary of the tariff bill, passed by the
Senate on Aug. 10, showing the changes
in the measure made by that body.

Paragraph 751, dealing with bulbs,
provides a rate of $2 per 1000 for Tu-
lip, Lily and Narcissus bulbs, and Lily
of the Valley pips. Hyacinth bulbs
carry a rate of $4 per 1000; Crocus
bulbs are dutiable at $1 per 1000, and
all other bulbs and roots, root stocks,
clumps, corms, tubers, and herbaceous
perennials, imported for horticultural
purposes, are 30 per cent ad1 valorem.
Cut flowers, fresh or preserved, carry a
rate of 40 per cent ad valorem. A rate of
$2 per 1000 is provided in Paragraph
752 for seedlings and cuttings of Ma-
netti, Multiflora, Brier, Rugosa, and all
other Rose stocks not more than three
years old. Rose plants, budded, grafted,
or grown on their own roots, carry a
rate of 4c. each, and cuttings, seedlings,
and grafted or budded plants of other de-
ciduous or evergreen ornamental trees,

house stock not specially provided for,
are dutiable at 30 per cent ad valorem.

Seedlings, layers, and cuttings of Ap-
ple, Cherry, Pear, Plum, Quince and
other fruit stocks, carry a rate of $2
per 1000 ; and a rate of 30 per cent ad
valorem is provided for grafted or budded
fruit trees, cuttings and seedlings of

ate, provides the following rates for oil-
bearing seeds and materials: Castor
Beans, % of lc. per lb. ; Flaxseed, 40c.

The Senate draft of the bill, as pre-
viously reported in The Florists Ex-
change, carries provisions authorizing
the president to increase or decrease du-
ties as changing conditions abroad may
warrant, following an investigation and
appropriate hearings by the Tariff Com-
mission. He is also authorized to take
retaliatory action against countries en-
deavoring to restrict the exportation to
the United States by means of an export
duty or otherwise, and may take action
also to prevent dumping or unfair meth-
ods in importation where such cases are
found by the Tariff Commission to be
occurring. C. L. L.

The House of Bunyard

The name of Bunyard is so familiar to
the florists of this country that it will
interest not a few to learn that the
Horticultural Advertiser, in its issue of
July 12, places the House of Bunyard in
its series of centenarians. James Bunyard
was a liveryman in the Fruiterers Com-
pany (one of the old Guilds) in the middle
of the 17th century, but in 1796 he left
his job and opened a small nursery at
Maidstone, Kent, England. That he was
a native of that neighborhood goes with-
out saying, for the name of Bunyard in
the Maidstone district goes back to 1656,
and everj' possessor of the name must as-
suredly trace back to the same stock.

James Bunyard prospered, and when he
died, in 1844, his son Thomas took charge.
Thomas kept up the position of the firm,

but made no great progress. One of his
successes, however, was the white Fuchsia,
Duchess of Kent. It is worth recording
that during his time doctors were urging
the use of cold baths, so Thomas Bunyard
built a bath in his nursery, and for a
time it was a popular resort for the
public. From this fact came the name
Cold Bath Nurseries.

In 1855 George Bunyard came into con-
trol, and then things began to forge ahead.
He took further land and went into fruit
tree growing on a big scale. Today the
name of Bunyard is synonymous with
fruit, and no firm in the world can show
such a series of gold medals and other
awards for exhibits of fruit. Rarely has
the firm failed to win first place at the
R. H. S. fruit show, often staging 150 to
200 varieties.

The firm has a complete fruit trial
ground, probably not equalled anywhere,
for every kind of Apple or other fruit that
will thrive in England has a place, so that
it is not surprising that George Bunyard
became noted for his extraordinary knowl-
edge of fruits.

In 1896 the firm celebrated its cen-
tenary by holding a great show at
Maidstone, at which all the famous gar-
deners and authorities were present
either as competitors or judges.

In 1903 the firm was converted into a
private company. Since 1885 the firm has
introduced numerous fruits into England.
It has always made a feature of trying
out American varieties. The Giant Prune
of California and the Loganberry were
both first shown in England by Bunyard.

George Bunyard died two or three years
ago, his sons E. A., who specializes in
fruit, and G. N., who attends to the gen-
eral nursery and seed departments, being
sole proprietors.

The late George Bunyard was uncle of
A. T. Bunyard of Madison ave. and Harry
Bunyard, and also of P. F. Bunyard, who
runs a supply house on the other side,
although he is perhaps better known in
the scientific world for his great ornitho
logical knowledge.

The Short Hills Garden Club

Annual Dahlia Show

The 14th Annual Dahlia Show of theS
Short Hills Garden Club will be held at
the Short Hills Club, Short Hills, N. J., I
on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 29 and 30.
Schedules may be had by applying to Mrs.
Charles H. Stout, Short Hills, N. J.

This club has, for many years, made a
specialty of the Dahlia, and the finest of I
the new and rare varieties may always be '
found there.

The show, which is probably unique in
this country, has been timed in order
that visitors to the national show at the
Hotel Pennsylvania, New York, may make
the short run out there on the D. L. &1
W. The trip promises to be well worthy
while.

The silver medals of both the Dahlia
Society of California and of the American
Dahlia Society, as well as the Horticul-
tural medal of the Garden Club of Ameri-
ca, are offered at this show for competi-
tion.

Beg Pardon, Georgia

In our issue of Aug. 5 we published a
picture of the Atlanta Florists and Horti-
culturists Club on its outing, but for some
reason the site of the picnic was given as
Lovejoy, Ala., instead of Lovejoy, Ga.
Beg pardon, everybody.

Week at the Capital

By CLARENCE L. LINZ

Coal Outlook Brighter, but Still Dark

With the soft coal' strike virtually over,
fears of a coal famine this Winter are
diminishing.

Officials of the Department of Com-
merce, however, while holding out hope
for a sufficiency of coal for the next six
or seven months, are as yet unable to ,
definitely assure it. It will probably be
three weeks or more before any accurate
statement of the situation can be made.
The public, in general, still seems to be
unaware of the grave situation that eon-
fronts the country. Cold weather will
descend on the Northwest within a few
weeks, and this section of the country
is almost entirely without the Winter's
supply of fuel. Huge reserves must be
built up, and it is probable that the major
portion of the output of the mines will
be rushed to this part of the country in
an effort to do so before cold weather sets
in and closes down navigation on the
Great Lakes. In this case, the rest of the
country may find it necessary to function
on limited supplies, even though the mines
resume their normal output. New Eng-
land must also be supplied with reserves
in the very near future.

Secretary of Commerce Hoover, at a
recent hearing, stated that so far he
could only hope for a sufficiency of fuel
during the Winter, and that it was still
entirely possible that priority orders
would have to prevail for a considerable
length of time, and possibly through most
of the Winter.

Free Zones Provided by Tariff

The Senate, on Aug. 16, by a viva voce
vote, voted into the tariff bill a provision
providing for the creation of free zones
in the United States. This provision,
which has long been sought by the com-
mercial interests of the country, would
authorize the establishment of places at
the various ports within which, under
proper regulations and precautions, goods
that are designed not for domestic con-
sumption, but for transshipment, may be
landed without the various restrictive reg-
ulations which now apply to such goods in
the bonded warehouses; and then, when
the time has come for transshipment to
the place where they are intended to go,
they may be taken out without further re-
striction. Manufacturing activities with-
in these free zones are not permitted.

The amendment has the approval of
both the Treasury and Commerce Depart-
ments, and met with practically no oppo-
sition, excepting that of Chairman Mc-
Cumber of the Senate Finance Committee,
who declared that the provisions offer
many difficulties in the administration of
the customs laws and regulations. Sen.
Jones of Washington, author of the amend-
ment, pointed out that the establishment
of free zones is not an experiment, hav-
ing had many years of successful opera-
tion abroad. "The great port of Ham-
burg has been built up largely in that
way," he said, "and there, even now ships
are landing by the hundreds at Hamburg
from all parts of the world, because they
can come and distribute their cargoes to
all the various points of the world. There
is no reason why we should not have ports
in this country to do these same things."

Freight Movement Keeps Up

The railroad and coal strikes have not
yet succeeded in materially reducing the
movement of freight, according to a re-
port just filed by the carriers with the
American Railway Association. For the
week ended Aug. 5, loadings of merchan-
dise and miscellaneous freight amounted
to 556,528 cars, a decrease of only 9101
cars since the previous week, and an in-
crease of 81,866 cars over the same week
last year.

Probable Congress Plans

Indications at the Capitol at present
are that Congress will probably adjourn
about the first of October. The Senate
now has before it the ship subsidy and
bonus bills, both of which are the subject
of considerable controversy and will be
used by many Senators as a vehicle for
considerable political speech making. This
means that it will be some time before
the two measures can be brought to a
vote, but it seems fairly certain that the
bonus and ship subsidy will not be carried
over to the next session.

Tariff Bill Passes Senate

The Senate has passed the McCumber-
Fordney tariff bill, and the measure now
goes to a conference committee where an
attempt will be made to iron out the dif-
ferences, which are many, not only in
rates of duty, but in such provisions as
those designed to carry out the American
valuation plan of the House and the
flexible tariff plan of the Senate.

It is hoped to carry the bill through
conference in two or thi*ee weeks, the
length of time depending chiefly upon the
period required to settle upon the basis
of value to be adopted; it will then be
referred to both houses for concurrence in
the committee changes, which is not ex-
pected to require a great deal of time; and
it is hoped to have the measure signed
and a law by Oct. 1.

Washington's Daylight Saving N. G.

Washington's experiment with daylight
saving will come to an end on Sept. 4,
probably never to be repeated. There the
business of the city was started and ended
an hour earlier without the formality of
advancing the clock, but the plan proved
unsuccessful, and by order of the Presi-
dent the Government departments will re-
sume their normal hours of 9 a.m. to
4.30 p.m. on Sept. .5. The unique form
of daylight saving was inaugurated in
June as a substitute for the ordinary sort
when it was found that Congress would
not pass legislation permitting the District
to advance its clocks.

When the order was announced the
flower and other stores throughout the
city cooperated, but after a week or ten
days, they found that the people who did
not have to get up an hour earlier were
not doing so and that the rush of busi-
ness continued, as in the past, to come
at the end of the day. They accordingly
resumed their old hours, so the change in
the government's schedule will make little
or no difference to the business of the
city. Under the form of daylight saving
tried out, the people resented the neces-
sity of rising an hour earlier; the thea-
tres, etc., refused to change their hours,
so the public generally went to bed at the
same time as in the Winter, getting an
hour's less sleep each night. The general
disapproval was so marked that a few
weeks ago Pres. Harding announced that
next year Washington would either go on
regular time or go to Congress and get
an act permitting it to turn the clocks
ahead.

Wm. Sim, Cliftondale, Mass.

It was "hot," no, "hotter," one day last
week when I set out to surprise William
Sim, the noted Carnation grower of Clif-
tondale. As I have said, it was hot, hotter
than "Dante's Inferno," something over
the 90s, and ever getting hotter. One
could see the heat waves shimmying over
the wide flats. Not the flats of "Hokobo"
and "Weekehaw," down in Jersey, but of
Chelsea, West Lynn and Cliftondale.
Those heat waves fairly danced and
bubbled, falling over each other in trying
to get away from a superheated earth.
Now, I said to myself, as I "moseyed"
along Morton ave., I'll catch my friend
William napping. But Mr. Napp and
William Sim are not related, not even
acquainted with each other, but the latter
gentleman has a high regard for the mis-
ters "Be Up" and 'TDoing," which he was.

In the office I asked a young lady, as

Sleasantly as I knew how: "Can I see
Ir. Sim, is he around?" "Yes, sir,"
answered the young lady, "You will find
him 'somewhere around.' " The young lady
was correct. Mr. Sim was somewhere
around," as I found out after wandering
through and around 16 four or six hundred
foot greenhouses and over some 35 acres
of truck farm. He was just around the
corner of the boiler house, cool as a Cu-
cumber, and directing the unloading of
a 16ft. boiler, the first of four that are to
replace those that were lying on the
ground outside. Jacking up 12 ton boil-
ers, when the thermometer says 90 in
the shade, is a pleasant pastime, maybe.
At any rate those new boilers awakened
in me refreshing memories, memories
that took me back to the days before
the great drought, the time when these
very boilers worked day and night in
Pfaff's brewery, roasted and boiled the
malt and hops and ran the ice machines
that cooled the brown result called "Car-
nation juice." To tell the truth, I felt

glad to know that these four valiant boil-
ers are still going to be connected with
Carnations, instead of being forced to
manufacture that stuff which a friend of
mine calls "belly-wash."

A Great Truck Farm

Friend Sim's "Hello, lad," and his hand-
shake were as hearty as of yore, and upon
my mentioning that I would like to see
a little something of what was doing on
the place, Mr. Sim led me a merry chase
all over his large establishment. First,
wei trotted over the truck farm, than
which there are not many more productive
or cleaner looking ones anywhere. There
are about 35 acres of level, rich land, al-
most absolutely level, except a slight
pitch to one side, just right for perfect
drainage. Mr. Sim had all his 200,000
young Carnation plants planted out in
the field this year for a short time. Con-
trary to other years, he did not plant
direct into the houses from pots or flats.
He started planting from the field July 1,
and by Aug. 1 the job was finished.
Where the young Carnations stood in the
field there are growing crops of beets,
Carrots, Spinach and Beans; these vege-
tables cover the whole farm. Swarms of
Italian women and girls are busy weeding
and thinning. Many sections of the fields
are bearing the second and third crop,
and Mr. Sim mentioned that the returns,
so far, have been excellent for his vege-
tables. The Corn" borer precludes the
growing of Sweet Corn, in the cultivation
of which article Mr. Sim used to be much
interested.

In the Greenhouses

After the inspection of the farm came
the tour of the houses, of which there are
15 or 16. I really cannot say which, for
by the time we had given them all the
once over there seemed to be no end to
them. The young plants looked fine, about
as thrifty and clean as a man could ever
want to see. They are all of good size,
and have their first wire and strings.
Most of the houses are 400ft. long and
40ft. to 50ft. wide. Several are somewhat
shorter, and some are 500ft .or 600ft. in
length. There is a lot of painting going
on, inside and out. In fact, I think Mr.
Sim couldn't sleep at night unless the
painters are everlastingly crawling over his
houses. He has an idea that painting
prolongs the life of a house, and he may
be right, too. At least, from the youngest
to the oldest of his houses, you could never
tell their age by looking at them; they all
look the same, year after year. I can
remember when the first house was built,
in 1899, a narrow one, about 300ft. long.
This house is as good as . new now, but it
is being pulled down to make room for the
new propagating house, which will be
300ft., and will have three benches the
whole length. The sale of rooted cuttings
has ^ reached large proportions on Mr.
Sim's place, and even this large house will
hardly be sufficient for the ever increasing
demand for rooted cuttings.

A House of Gold Dust

The first house, 400ft., is planted with
Mr. Sim's grand seedling Gold Dust, which
promises to be the greatest acquisition of
recent years. It created much interest
at the late Hartford convention, with its
wonderful coloring of blood orange and
salmon tints. The next houses are planted
solidly to one variety as follows: White
Delight, which has done wonderfully well
these last two years; Laddie, Pink De-
light, Bosette, Mrs. Coolidge, Matchless
and Morning Glow. Another house is
devoted to Pink Delight, and one house,
500ft.x43ft., to Benora and White Benora.
One more house holds Maine Sunshine,
and another Improved Ward, destined to
be used for cuttings only. Still another
large house is filled with Ward, Maine
Sunshine and Lassie, while another will
be interesting to watch during the coming
months, because it is filled from end to
end with Mr. Sim's seedlings of different
ages. There ought to be something hidden
there. Nearby is another house solidly

Elanted with the new Eldora, one of Mr.
im's striped novelties, of which he thinks
very highly, and which will be given to
the trade in the very near future. It is
a charming thing on the style of Benora,
but without its drawbacks. The last house
harbors another new variety, which will
be introduced later. This is a dark col-
ored pink of exceptional form and very
free, and should fill a long felt want.
Truly a visit to this establishment holds
much of interest for the Carnation man.
The residence of Mr. Sim, right across
the street, deserves a word of mention, for
it is a beautiful place, with noble and
choice evergreens and shrubs in abun-
dance. This is one of the show places of

this section, situated in what is called
"Sim's Park."

The sun was nearing the West when
I bid goodbye to my kind mentor, who
went to investigate whether his boiler
had hopped into its place during the boss's
long absence. G. Th.

The past week was characterized by
plenty of work and intense heat. A full
week's run of funerals and wedding kept
every florist busy; much stock was used.
The hottest period of the season was ter-
minated by several rain and hail storms,,
which spoiled the outdoor stock. Asters,
especially, were hard hit; those in bloom
were ruined. U. B.

A Useful Gladiolus

Ideal for the Retail Grower

To the retail grower in particular are
the Primulinus Gladiolus of value. Even
now, when the market is full of Gladioli
and in many localities more than can be
disposed of, there is nothing more
useful for basket arrangements than these
hybrids. With their slender, graceful
stems and small flowers, they can be used
to advantage where heavier spikes would
be out of place and, for that purpose, the
spikes cut from the smaller sized bulbs
are really best. We find that even bulbs
much undersized will usually bloom if
given time enough; in fact, are to be
preferred to the extra large bulbs pro-
ducing 4ft. long stems. For forcing, also,
these hybrids are of value, as they flower
many days ahead of other sorts. Eight
now it will hardly pay to offer long spikes,
with so many of the larger flowering sorts
on hand, but by planting a batch of bulbs
early in the season, you can cut flowers
before any of the others show color, and
the same is true of bulbs you plant dur-
ing the Winter months under glass. Try
a few this season and include them in
your outdoor planting nest Spring.

What About It?

Are You Interested in Hardy Stock?

For the past 20 years or more, have I
been suggesting to the florist who grows
stock for his retail trade, to pay more
attention to biennials and perennials and
even shrubs, trees and conifers. To all
located in the country, and there are
thousands of such, a piece of land if only
an acre or two, in connection with their
greenhouses, is a valuable asset The
more homes built, the greater the de-
mand for perennials, shrubs and other
hardy stock. It isn't a matter for the
local florist to grow on all he requires in
this line, but he should set a certain
amount of space aside to grow on a part
of it and, above all, display what he has,
to the very best advantage. He should
be in position that when a patron wants
a few plants of Phlox, Iris, Peonies or
Larkspur, he can dig them on his own
grounds. That holds good with small or-
ders for a Lilac, Hydrangea or a Honey-
suckle; a Norway Spruce or a Scotch
^me. Get into this profitable side line;
you will do more business; you will sell
more and, at the same time, buy more
from the nurserymen than ever.

Peonies

Why You Should Grow Them.

There isn't anything in Peonies; they
only bloom a few days of the year- and
when they do bloom, everybody has their
I yards full or a rainy week will
' spoil them. But despite it you
should still have a nice batch of
Peonies on your own grounds. While
they respond to good treatment and need
care in order to get the most out of the
| plants, they can get along with less care
than most other perennials. If just kept
tree from weeds and cultivated, they are
good for many years, during which time
they will not only furnish you flowers,
but you will have a stock of plants each
rail and Spring, to sell to your patrons.
*iUyT,P "'Inch with so little care as

the Peony requires, will furnish you each
year with flowers and stock to sell is
worth growing. By all means plant at
least a few long rows of peonies; not too
many varieties, but the best your nur-
seryman has to offer. Don't consider the
cost too much; in years gone by, Peonies
have been sold too cheap and while they
cost more today, you can realize a better
price than ever for them. Thev should
he planted right now; don't worry about
the richness of your soil, but dig it over
'""ply before you plant. That is what
■iints. Don't overlook Festiva Maxima,
still one of the best to plant

Cyclamen

The Importance of Good Foliage

It seems^ that even plants which have
made but little headway during the early
part of the Summer, are getting busy now
and this usually keeps on up to the time
they are in flower. A well grown plant
isn't judged by the amount of foliage it
possesses so much as by the size, perfec-
tion and marking of the leaves and the
way these leaves are held up. Well grown
Cyclamen don't really need flowers in or-
der to be attractive, and it is from now
on that particular attention should be
paid in order to obtain perfect, well set
leaves. There is no greater enemy to
well formed leaves than greenfly; it will
cripple and deform the young leaves and
you will not realize the damage done until
too late. Keep the plants clean at all
time, but at present more than ever.
Whether you fumigate, spray or lay To-
bacco stems between the plants, always al-
low plenty of space between the stock
and lightly spray the plants several times

prepared for next Spring in order to do
the biggest business ever. The special-
ist has the right system to turn out rooted
cuttings of Geraniums; he grows his stock
plants under glass and thereby isn't sub-
jected to a soft growth or other troubles
we are apt to run into when depending
upon* plants in the field. Not to say that
he sails smoothly at all times, but he can
turn out a higher percentage of rooted
cuttings and often a better grade than
the small grower with limited space. In
localities where, due to heavy rains, the
plants outdoors have made a soft, rank
growth, the cuttings most likely are un-
fit to be taken and placed into a sand
bench under glass, but if taken, not too
short, and placed in sand out in a cold-
frame without glass, but proper lath
shading, they will all root and, if given
plenty of space, they most likely can
remain there up to the end of October,
maybe till the early 'Mums get out of
the way. This may appeal to those who
are crowded for room inside and have at
present a nice lot of cuttings which might

The Double, or Carnation-Flowered Poppy. This is well worthy the florists

attention. See text.

during the day. The leaves enjoy it and
need it if they are to grow large, thick
and glossy on the under side. Watch out
so you don't overpot; this is often done
and doesn't help the plants. Shift when
necessary, but not before. A weak dose
of cow manure is always of benefit; apply
it twice a month.

Coleus and Alternantheras

There are occasions when a florist can
use good 4in. or 5in. stock of Coleus dur-
ing December and later. Some of the
varieties with their gorgeous colorings,
make most attractive plants and will
answer when a cheaper plant than a Cro-
ton is wanted, but of course you must not
expect them to last but a few days when
brought to a dry, hot room of a resi-
dence. That also holds good with a Cro-
.ton. Good sized cuttings of Coleus placed
in 2%s filled with sandy soil, will root in-
side of a week and can remain in these
pots until ready for a shift into 3%s by the .
middle of September. Keep them shifted
and in a sunny house of not less than
55 or a little over and they will make
nice stock for December; even if you don't
sell them, they will come in useful for
stock plants to take cuttings from during
February and March. This is also a good
time to root a good stock of Alternan-
theras; with quite a few of us, there seems
to be an increased demand for these beau-
tiful border plants. Place the cuttings
in a sandy soil in flats and allow a little
space between them so they can remain
in these flats all Winter.

Geraniums

Rooting Cuttings Outdoors

It won't be long before the young Gera-
niums under glass look good to us and
we begin to think about what is to be

as well be removed in order to make
room for more to come along on the
plants to be rooted in a month from now.

Ferns and Other Green Stock

Don't Wait for Prices to Come Down

You will be in need of Asparagus plu-
mosus in 2in., 2V4in. and larger sizes all
Winter; you will require small table
ferns every day during that same period.
That holds good with small Kentias, Pan-
danus Yeitchii and Cocos for the filling
of fern dishes. Right now is the best
time to stock up on all of those items;
don't wait until the first frost appears,
nor put off the ordering of dishes and
pans until you are in actual need of these
things. Why not purchase now what you
will need in palms, ferns, Dracaenas and
other decorative foliage plants. All of
such stock will keep on growing into
money in your houses and doesn't need ar-
tificial heat for some time to come. When
you have a nice lot of such plants on
hand, there is always a chance to dis-
pose of some, which isn't possible other-
wise. Don't wait for prices to come down;
we are all better off if they stay up, wages
included. Plenty of good stock and more
advertising than ever will keep up a
brisk demand for what we have to sell.

The Carnation-Flowered Poppy

There are two principal groups of an-
nual Poppies. One is derived from the
European field Poppy, or Corn Poppy,
l'n /nicer rhoeas. This includes the fam-
ous and ever-lovely Shirley Poppies, also
several of the other single types. The
second group is derived from the Opium
Poppy, Papaver somniferum. A third
group from Papaver glauowm includes the
Tulip Poppy.

The varieties derived from the Opium
Poppy are mainly represented in the two
horticultural groups, the Carnation-flow-
ered and the Peony flowered Pop-
pies, the former having fringed petals,
the others with the petals entire.
The illustration above shows the fringed
Poppy of which there are many colors,
running from white to dark crimson. Mrs.
Francis King speaks with special enthu-
siasm of the soft pink colors. Burpee of-
fers a selected variety of this sort under
the not very euphonious name of "Shrimp
Pink."

The best way to handle these Poppies
is to sow the seed where the plants are
to flower, which should be in a sunny spot
and fairly dry. Seed may be sown as
soon as frost is over and plants should be
thinned out to 8in. apart as they are
strong lusty growers. Frank A. Waugh.

[A type of Poppy that is apt to be
neglected by gardeners because they do not
always yield satisfactory results. In prac-
tically all instances, however, this is due
to overcrowding. Given plenty of room
these large leaved Poppies will branch
and produce wonderful flowers that last
well when cut. The only objection, per-
haps, is their strong odor. Like other
Poppies they should be cut in the bud
state. — Ed.]

Dianthus Allwoodii

This new strain of hybrids, Pinks X
Perpetual Carnations, is steadily making
progress in America and possibly would
have become more popular, had Qu. 37
not made it impossible for the average
individual to import plants. In England,
however, these hybrids have, since the
war closed — they were introduced in
1917 — become an important factor, both
for gardens and cut flower purposes.

As is well known, Allwood Bros, intro-
duced the strain somewhat sooner than
was intended, but despite the fact that
many firms have raised large stocks of
the varieties in commerce, the introduc-
ers are apparently selling greater quan-
tities than ever.

This current season they have sold over
one and a half million plants and they
calculate on doubling this output next
season. When one figures that the plants
aie propagated from cuttings and sell at
much the same rates as Carnation plants,
it may be assumed that Dianthus Allwoodii
is something of a gold mine for the in-
troducers. Add the fact that the firm
produces Carnation plants by the hundreds
of thousands also, and one cannot but
wonder whether England is planting all its
garden spots with one or other of the
members of the Dianthus family. The firm
of Allwood is, of course, only one of many
engaged in a similar trade.

Oil Burning Heater Wanted

Editor Florists Exchange:

I would like to know any reader can
recommend a good oil burner for green-
house boilers. I prefer one of the gravity
type if there are any on the market that
are a practical success. I do not like to
depend upon electric power for running,
like some of the types I have seen, as
you never know when you will be cut off
from the central power station and then
you have no fire. If possible I would like
to know how the operation costs compared
with coal. Roderick M. Laughlin.

News Items

Funeral work or a few hospital
flowers are about all the demand. Out-
door Roses, Tuberoses and Zinnia are
all that are left after the burning sun of
July and August. Tuberoses are very plen-
tiful and being pushed by coloring pink
and yellow.

More new history for Beaumont was
jotted down Aug. 8 when the city turned
out strong to welcome their new million
dollar hotel, Hotel Beaumont, this being
Beaumont's first modern skyscraper. Many
business concerns wished them much suc-
cess with floral offerings.

Mrs. C. P. Davis and Mrs. F. C. Gailey
have opened up a flower shop in the new
hotel known as the Hotel Floral and
Novelty Co. They report business very
good. This concern handled the decora-
tion for the opening besides decorating
the dining room for 500 guests of the
Chamber of Commerce.

Mrs. Irma Haynes, who has conducted
the Haynes Flower Shop down town, has
with the help of Paul I. Hanna found a
company known as the Park Greenhouse.
They have built a greenhouse 30ft.x75ft.
out in the residential part of the city and
will grow both pot plants and cut flowers.

Mrs. T. W. Bergin seems well pleased
with the business done this season. She
has been cutting some wonderfully fine
Asters, a grade that is a rwra avis in
this section. P. H.

New Orleans, La.

The Market

Aug. 19. — As a general rule, re-
tailers report a slight pickup in business
over the past week ; in fact many of
them state that the week just closed
brought more business to them than at
any time during the month. The funerals
of two prominent State officials, resi-
dents of New Orleans, no doubt ac-
counted for a considerable amount of the
business. Weddings and birthday par-
ties largely made up for the remainder
of the sales.

Conditions are expected to remain
somewhat dull for at least another
month ; until the society folk return to
the city and the Winter tourists begin
arriving. The Winter season opens offi-
cially, according to the charges fixed by
rental agents, on Oct. 1. With the open-
ing of the Winter season with its usual
round of social and sporting activities,
the florists' shops will be humming again.

No new lines were noted on the mar-
ket this week and shipments of regular
stock came in sparingly. Asters still
continue to come in from the North-Cen-
tral States in fair quality, retailing at
$1 to $2 per doz. Gladioli still have a
fair demand and retailers are, as a rule,
well stocked. Pink and red Radiance
Roses, home grown, are about the best
sellers right now, with home grown
Tuberoses running a close second. There
is a plentiful supply of home grown
stock to be had. Zinnias are still to be
found in small quantities with but lit-
tle demand for them.

Tests South's Business Pulse

The first three days of this week
marked the holding of the annual Fall
Buyers' Convention in New Orleans. Re-
tailers in all lines of business from nearly
a dozen States in the New Orleans trade
territory were present and bought their
Fall and Winter stocks.

Directly, this had nothing to do with
florists but indirectly, the facts brought
out at this convention are of vital inter-
est to every business man, whether he
sells flowers, typewriters or insurance.
The spirit with which the convention
was attended and the manner in nvhich
the retailers of smaller cities and towns
over the South bought their stocks is
convincing that conditions are certainly
better. Jobbers and wholesalers declare
that the annual convention of buyers is
the one real barometer for registering
the trend of business in the New Or-
leans trade territory. Every line of busi-
ness has been eagerly awaiting the con-
vention in order that their belief that
business was better be verified by the
small town retailer — the backbone of
business in the South.

Merchants bought in larger quantities
at this convention than they have at any
time since the close of the war, demon-

strating their faith in the staple condi-
tion of the present market, They all
agree that in their belief, deflation has
been completed and prices are at last on
a sound footing, making it safe to stock
up with more than a few days' supply of
goods without running the risk of finding
themselves with a lot of high priced stock
on their shelves with the prices falling-
out from under it.

With such a belief in the business out-
look, it means better condition in every
line of endeavor and the florists are
bound to get their share in the long run.

Horticulturists Meet

The regular monthly meeting of
the New Orleans Horticulturists Society
was held last Sunday at the Metairie
Ridge Nursery with Harry Papworth of
the nursery and new president of the
society and' J. G. Schattmaier, manager
of the Baronne St. retail shop, as hosts.
The meeting was opened about 5 o'clock
and continued for some two hours. It
was one of the most successful pleas-
ure and business meetings of the
Summer. More than 40 members were
present.

P. A. Ohopin made an interesting
talk on "City Beautification" in con-
nection with the present campaign of
the Association of Commerce ; that
body is striving to bring about the
planting of shrubs and flowers and
maintain a system of protection and
cultivation of present plantings. Mr.
Chopin was followed on the speakers'
stand by C. W. Eichling who spoke on
the same subject. The society weut on
record as unanimously favoring the as-
sociation's campaign and voted to offer
their cooperation.

An instructive talk was made_ by H.
Dressel, a grower on Metairie Ridge, on
the subject of Dahlias. Mr. Dressel told
in an interesting manner, how this flower
was brought into this country ; how it
was started in its growth and the method
of producing it at the present time. He
speaks with authority on this subject,
for he is considered one of the leading
growers in this part of the country.

The next meeting will be held the third
Sunday in September at the nursery of
Conone Bros, on Metairie Ridge. These
people make a specialty of field Roses
for wholesale and they are at the present
time, cutting thousands of Radiance that
are declared to be the equal in quality
to any hothouse Rose on the market,
and are much hardier.

Ant Eradication Spreads

With the campaign against the
Argentina ant in full sway in New Or-
leans and its success assured, villages,
towns and small cities all over the South
are following in the footsteps of the
Crescent City in destroying this pest, the
greatest peril to plant life in the South.
Calls are pouring in daily from a dozen
States in to the office of E. R. Barber,
entomologist in charge of the eradication
campaign, requesting poison and advice
as to its application. Mr. Barber is aid-
ing in every way possible, the campaigns
in the smaller cities and he hopes to be
able to devote more time to this work
as soon as the New Orleans campaign is
over, which will be about the middle of
October.

Mississippi Drive Against Pests

The State Plant Board of Missis-
sippi is preparing a number of exhibits
of plant marauders to be shown at the
various country and district fairs this
Fall. The exhibits consist of hundreds
of insect pests and plant diseases, includ-
ing the pink boll worm, the citrus can-
ker and the Sweet Potato weevil. Such
displays were shown last year at 2S dif-
ferent fairs and much interest was mani-
fested in them. As a result, thousands
of pamphlets on insect and disease erad-
ication were requested from the agricul-
tural department and much good was ac-
complished toward permanent eradica-
tion of many of these perils of success-
ful horticulture and agriculture.

R. MoD.

taining goods under false pretences, which
charge, if proven, carries a penalty of
from one to five years. She also made
purchases in the name of Mrs. H. A.
Thomas and Mrs. Nell Thompson. She
was released on a $300 bond, and her case
will soon be put on the calendar for an
early trial. As her operations have been
going on for some time, it is understood
that some city florists have been heavy
losers, and it is whispered that one or
two have lost as high as two and three
hundred dollars, with little hope of re-
covering any of it.

Her methods of approach were always
different, and as she seemed to be a cul-
tured woman, the florists fell easy victims.
At one time she ordered 17 dozen Car-
nations to be charged to the order of
Eastern Star, and when ordering stated
that it w-as their custom to place flowers
on the graves of departed members. Time
developed the fact that it was a hoax,
and what became of the Carnations she
alone knows. .

A Fraud Apprehended

For some time Atlanta florists have
been trying to trap a woman who has been
ordering flowers under false pretences,
and through the efforts of Ralph Deans
she has been apprehended. Under the
name of Miss Nell Rogers, she was bound
over to the city court on the charge of ob-

Asheville, N. C.

Carnation plants in the field this year
grew well. Most of the growers had given
up planting out in the open ground until
this year on account of stem rot. Those
who 'planted in the field lifted good big
plants. One tried them in 4in. pots sunk
to the rim in the open with watering sys-
tem and had good growth. Another used
3in. square paper pots on bench outside,
with no stem rot, but very little growth.

Results here this year would seem to
prove the statement of experiment sta-
tion that stem rot is increased by a com-
bination of heat and moisture. We had
excessive moisture, but little heat this
Summer. E. C. D.

News Notes

The opening of the Fall races here
on Aug. 30, followed by the Kentucky
State Fair the week of Sept. 11, should
make for more active business locally.
Business right now is a bit slow, due to
the fact that many are away on vacations,
outdoor stock is plentiful, and the city
has had very little sickness, few wed-
dings of size, and but few large funerals.

The Jefferson County Greenhouse Co.,
Louisville, has filed amended articles in-
creasing its capital stock from $12,000 to
$50,000.

As a result of settlement of the na-
tional coal strike in part, at Cleveland
the past week, and opening of manjr mines
in the central States, the florists are some-
what relieved and believe that by late
Fall the coal situation will be much
easier, providing the railroads are able
to handle necessary tonnage. Strikes the
past week, of train men in addition to
shopmen, had the lines of the Louisville
& Nashville R. R. in Kentucky, from the
big State coal fields, tied up tight, but
these strikes have been called off, al-
though the rail shop men are still out.

A number of local florists have ar-
ranged to exhibit at the Kentucky State
Fair. William L. Korb, local florist, will
be judge of the exhibits.

The will of Mrs. Mary Cecile Kunzman
Miller, 62 years of age, well known in
the local florists circles, who died on
April 13, has been probated; she leaves
her interest in the floral establishment to
her husband, and also a house at 3718
Western Parkway. Caroline Quarles, a
sister, is given a house at 3720 Western
Parkway. The will directs a few minor
bequests, and leaves the balance of the
estate to the son, Harry Kunzman. The
property is valued at $20,000 in real es-
tate and $10,000 in personal property.

Mrs. Miller was very popular among
the local florists; having a wonderful per-
sonality, she made friends readily. She had
been in poor health the past few years.

Miss Angela Moran has purchased the
business of the Dudley Flower Shop on
West Slain st. She has managed the shop
since it opened last Spring. The business
was established here by the Dudley Co.
of Parkersburg, as one of its branches
and during the Spring and early Sum-
mer months, a thriving business waa
done. In accordance with its usual prac- .
tice, the firm desired to close the store
during mid-Summer owing to the slack
season in the flower business, but Miss
Moran was reluctant to see the business
she had established and built up thus
terminated and then to have the work of
re-establishing it all over again in the
Fall. She proposed to the company to
take over the business herself and a deal
was made whereby she purchased the busi-
ness and fixtures. She is now operating
the store and will be free to secure her
flowers from all growers in the market.

West Chester (Pa.) Nurseries

The Wm. P. Stark Nursery Co. in thel
last few months has taken over the Daly
Nurseries at West Chester, Pa. A new!
office building is almost completed on
the Philadelphia Pike and the company
plans to enlarge rapidly, taking in every*
phase of nursery work.

The roster of the company is: Presi-.
dent, Mr. Stark; vice-president, George
Daly (former owner of the nursery);
and secretary-treasurer, Jos. Hoopes, Jr.,
a son of Jos. Hoopes, Sr., of Hoopes
Bros. & Thomas.

A visit to Hoopes Bros. & Thomas re-
vealed a large organization preparing
for the Fall season. Cultivators are hard
at work in the fields and everything is
coming along nicely. A fine block of
evergreens on the Philadelphia Pike is!
much in evidence.

The Morris Nursery Co. reports a finel
business last Spring and good prospects
for the coming selling season.

There seems to be lots of stock and a
good demand in sight throughout the dis-J
trict.

Encouraging the Children

Jim Parker of the Parker Nursery &
Orchard Co., Tecumseh, Okla., believes
in encouraging children to take an inter-
est in fruit growing and, to ensure this, he
has formed a fruit club for boys and girls
to whom he offers cash premiums for the
best stories regarding their efforts at fruit
culture. j

From a pamphlet to hand, we gather
that the Oklahoma State Board of Agri-
culture and other departments greatly
appreciate Mr. Parker's efforts along these
lines. He himself has no official connec-
tion with the Fruit Club, beyond provid-
ing the prizes. He puts himself forward
as the uncle of a "fine bunch of boys
and girls," whom he desires to encour-
age. Along with the pamphlet which
contains the names of prizewinners, he
sends a questionnaire relating to varieties
of fruit suitable to Oklahoma; this ques-
tionnaire is calculated to make his juve-
nile friends feel important, inasmuch aa
the information is desired for embodying
in a paper Mr. Parker will read at a
farmer's congress this week.

The new 25ft.x60ft. greenhouse, which
George S. Seavey & Son, the Fourteenth
st. florists, Bangor, Me., are adding to
their equipment, is now being erected. It
will be completed in a week or two, some
foundation work having had to be done
before the frames could be set.

Some August-Flowering Trees and Shrubs

By Samuel Newman Baxter

ALTHOUGH August usually shows
signs of Autumn and approaching
Winter in the fading of much of
her vegetation, there are at least three
trees and several shrubs that delight with
their floral display during the passing of
the last month of Summer. Taking trees
first, we have never seen the Japanese
Pagoda Tree (Sophora japonicg.) bear
its large white panicles more prolifically
than during the late July and early part
of August just passed. Incidentally, sev-
eral of these trees in Fairmount Park
(Pa.) varied in their time of bloom by
at least ten days, enough to warrant
separate designation if their seed could
be depended upon to perpetuate this later
flowering feature. And there seems rea-
son to believe that they could be. In a
group of these trees, one on the south
side was the last to flower, which is just
the reverse of what one might expect in
plants that are otherwise alike. Another
feature of the Sophora is that the opales-
cent seed pods which follow are not with-
out interest as they glisten when seen in
the sunlight. Our photograph would
convey the impression that the Sophora
is a small tree, and some trees do exhibit
this sprawling, many branched character-
istic ; but we have seen several large
|trees, the biggest having a trunk 3ft. in
| diameter, so in planting it out for a lawn
Ispecimen give it room to develop.

'Rare Tree of Native Origin

Leaving this exotic for a native celeb-
rity— it is, indeed, looked up to by those
fortunate enough to possess one of the
limited number of specimens in cultiva-
tion— let us enthuse over the beauty of
the Franklin Tree (Gordon la pubescent)
fox whose introduction we are indebted
to John Bartram, late of the writer's "old
home town," Philadelphia. Although dis-
.covered by Bartram in Georgia in 1790
it no longer can lie found there, and a
plant-loving pilgrim from that State came
all the way to Fairmount Park recently on purpose
to see this "lost" plant. The Flokists Exchange
readers have been informed of it before by the late
Joseph Meehan, in whose garden a specimen still
flourishes. The ivory white, five petaled flowers, 4in.
in diameter, in the center of which is a cluster of
stamens of the brightest gold, is a striking feature
from August until frost. And like the Camellia, to
'which it is allied, it bears flowers that are very fra-
grant. It forms a many branched, low spreading,
small tree. Propagation is usually by soft wood cut-
tings, layers or seed, though with the latter method
jeven my good tutor. Joseph Meehan, never had success.

Sophora japonica — The Japanese Pagoda Tree. See text

The More Plentiful Hercules Club Tree

Our third tree is a native, quite common, but its
huge showy panicles of hundreds of small cream
white florets are worthy in our landscape planting.
It is the Hercules Club or Angelica Tree (Aralia
spinosa) and its tropical foliage forms a dominant
note in the background of many shrubbery borders.
Mass it if space permits, as in a park landscape. It
may be propagated from seed or root cuttings. The
success of the latter method is usually apparent in
the nursery, for those who sell aud dig out a block
may find numerous young plants springing up the

following season from pieces of roots left by the pre-
vious digging operations.

Blooming and Re-blooming Shrubs

In shrubs we still have the bloom of Altluea or Rose
of Sharon and Abelia grandiflora, referred to in our
notes for July. To these let us add the Butterfly Bush
(Buddleia), whose long spikes of lilac
flowers really started to appear In late
July and will continue all this month
and perhaps longer. Florists from their
fainiliariity with the tender species know
the worth of these flowers for cutting,
aud it is a shrub well worth growing if
one has the room. Propagation is by hard
or soft wood cuttings.

We have dwelt upon the merits of the
Globe Flower (Kerrla japonica) as a
Spring flowering shrub, but let me now
give credit for its effort to bloom again
in August, many flowers now being noted.
Perhaps premier honors for showiness
in August flowers of hardy shrubs should
g<> to Hydrangea panlculata grandiflora,
known to all and seen almost everywhere.
Although disliked by many landscape
men, it is subject to a strong demand by
the public which nurserymen cannot af-
ford to discourage. Propagation by lay-
ers -is a good method and if the soif about
your stock plants is manured each year,
good strong young plants result. Inci-
dentally, there should be a market for
more of these plants grown in tree form.
For general landscape work the writer
prefers the single form, H. panlculata, of
which the flowers blend so well without
the stiffness noticeable in the grandiflora
variety.

Another August blooming shrub, not so
well known, but whose clusters of cream
white flowers, with red calyx and stem,
are pretty and fragrant, too, is Gleroden-
dron trichotoinum. But its foliage when
bruised is ill smelling, so its best position
is massed with tall shrubs, away where
one is not likely to experience this ob-
jectionable feature, yet can admire its
flowers. The tops may winterkill, but
the live wood will send out many shoots,
forming a rather tall, bushy specimen.
Florists can appreciate the beauty of its
flowers from their familiarity with the
tender greenhouse sorts though they are
not recommended to grow it. Propagation
is by soft wood or root cuttings.

The retail nurseryman with a strong flowering
stock plant of the sweet Clematis (C. panlculata),
the showiness and fragrance of whose white flowers
will surely attract visitors, loses an opportunity if
some potted young plants are not near at hand for
sale to these visitors when they admire the specimen.
The florist grower will find it desirable to carry these
potted plants for sale to the suburbanite with whom
he is often in closer touch than is the nurseryman.
Propagation is by seed, but the florist will find it
better to buy a limited number of field ground seed-
lings for potting.

"Plan to Plant Another Tree"

Its Effect on Markets
By J. A. YOUNG

J.

PLAN to Plant Another Tree" has for its objective
the teaching of horticulture. The human ele-
ment enters into all purchases of horticultural
products whether they be trees, shrubs, or flowers.
The prospective customer in order to appreciate the
value of his purchases must know at least some of
the elementary facts concerning the goods he pro-
poses to plant. Lack of interest in plants and plant-
ing is due to absence of knowledge on three primary
points, viz., what to plant ; how to plant it, and how
to care for it after planting.

"Plan to Plant Another Tree" is built on the prin-
ciple of teaching that very thing to the planters of
America. It goes without saying that there is a
necessity for such teaching. It is considered safe to
say that three-fourths of the trees and plants set out
die because of improper handling in planting or as a
result of improper care caused by ignorance. Some-
one has said that only three per cent of the fruit
trees planted ever come into bearing. What holds
good with the fruit trees is equally true with much
of our other planting. There is but one way to save
the trees and that is to teach the people. It is of
very little use to urge people to buy without first
giving them at least some elementary instruction as
to how to handle their plants.

When nurserymen take more interest in the folks
who use their materials, then the folks will take more

interest in the nurserymen. "Plan to Plant Another
Tree" aims to bring the nurseryman and the planter
closer together. It is only by mutual helpfulness
that horticulture in America will prosper.

Commercial horticulture, including the nurseryman,
should take the lead in all big forward movements
for the benefit of plant life. That is the reason why
nurserymen should support and encourage the move-
ment.

"Plan to Plant Another Tree" has already had its
effect on local sales. Several nurserymen in Illinois
report direct sales as a result of the activities of
clubs working under the inspiration of the movement.
The plan of operation cannot help but produce re-
sults as it deals with civic and agricultural clubs,
farm bureaus, schools, colleges, etc. To read in a

"Across the Continent"

The Joys of Camping Out and other Random

Experiences of two Auto-Wanderers to the

Convention

By A. M. HENSHAW

IMAGINE being awakened by a combination of
songbird music and the rising sun pouring its
rays through the wide open flap of your tent!
We are camped in a clearing on a narrow dirt road
about 500 yards from "National old trail" in the
Hoosier State. A grassy sward spreads in front of
our tent. Tall Elms, Black Walnuts, Ash and Oak
trees surround us; a purling stream or babbling
brook, whichever you will, sings not far away ; within
a mile we hear a heavy freight train laboring along;
and, unseen when we camped at midnight is a con-
crete bridge over which roar the early Interurban
trolley cars at frequent interval. The motorman gives
our camp a friendly toot of greeting, and we yawn
and stretch, lie for a few minutes enjoying the pic-
ture and then get up and out. A hundred yards away
through the bench to the aforementioned stream with
a cake of soap and a towel ! Who said bathtubs? Away
with them. "Wally" has heard that there are "rat-
tlers" in Indiana and he prefers to walk back up
the road and attack the stream from the bridge at
the highway.

Breakfast de Luxe, al Fresco

Now for breakfast. Wally gets busy with his trusty
axe, and a fire is soon crackling under coffee pot and
frying pan. What do you suppose we are burning?
No, not the bacon, but Black Walnut from an old split
fence rail dragged from the brush. That rail was
split, perhaps, a hundred years ago, but it makes a
grand fire. Eggs, bacon, fried tomatoes, peaches and
cream, delicious bread and butter and coffee such
as no hotel dining room could provide — and though
now hundreds of miles astern of us, it was Joe Hill's
farm at Richmond that provided us with most of the
above items on the menu.

Breakfast over and dishes washed, Wally soon has
the tent dismantled and stowed away in the car. A
snapshot of the scene is taken and away we go west-
ward for Kansas City. Hotels ! ! We scorn them.
The open roads for ours.

The Cheerful Task of Making Camp

Along about sunset we keep our weather eye peeled
for a valley with a winding stream. We are particu-
lar and hard to please here, but there is a good moon
and any hour will do. The camping place found,
Wally pilots me into the proper position near a tree
with the front wheel for one tent guy rope and the
tree for the other. Our duties are well understood
and we get at them joyfully. We unpack our tonneau,
Wally splits wood and starts the fire, puts up the
tent and arranges beds (Sweet Clover hay if we are
lucky, if not our tarpaulin on the grass). I get out
cooking utensils and food, and, "If I do say it as
shouldn't," in 30 minutes we sit down to a repast
that is "Food for the Gods," our appetites sharpened
and the food sweetened by our surroundings. Dishes
washed, leftover food stowed away, a talk and a pipe,
lying on our backs looking up at the stars through the
trees with the moon making pictures around us —
and then, how we do sleep !

Sleep? Ye Gods, this open air life, speeding through
God's own country by day is certainly a sedative. I
have slept in the front seat of the Lincoln with Wally
at the wheel, roaring along at 50 miles an hour. (The
cops are all away at railroad yards and coal mines)
and just as easily, at the same gait, I have read the
Indianapolis Star.

The Hospitality of the Hills

Yes, we do avoid hotels, but who could resist the
invitation to spend a night at Joe Hill's farm, dinner
at the club, Grape juice (?) from "our own vines"
and liquor from one's own corn ( ? ) and such a break-
fast as Mrs. Hill provided. Then a walk around the
farm, Corn, 12ft. high (or was it 15ft.?), the lowing
kine knee deep in Alfalfa and the blooded bull eyeing
us (and the kine) over the fence. Some farm has
Joe, and some horticultural town has Richmond been
made by the Hill, Mann, Lemon family, or I should
say families as there is a fine crop of young 'uns com-
ing along.

What They Did for Us at Kirkwood, Mo.

One other time did we depart from our camp in the
woods. At St. Louis the Gorleys took us in hand, out
to Kirkwood, and then those good fellows, Rowe &
Pilcher, set a pace that made us realize how far we
were from the effete East. Dinner at the country
club, then a fish fry and dance at Farmers' Club No. 3.
At one time I thought from the excitement mani-
fested by the "four hundred" present (both meanings
of the phrase there, if you please) that the floor was
caving in or the roof falling down; but it was only
Wally Pierson doing a breakdown with a Missouri
lass full as heavy but, withal, as graceful and light
footed as himself. Clean sheets and marble halls — -
I mean baths, again tonight, at Rowe's, and we de-
part on a glorious Monday morning loaded down with
good things to eat on our Westward trip.

One other camp I must mention, that at Fairview,
O., a delightful spot where we got permission to
camp from the landowners, a true American mother
and her ex-Aviation Lieutenant son. Wally will tell
you that I am not a bad cook, but that night I tried
fried chicken ! Our hostess a hundred yards away
smelt it burning and it was too much for her, so she
came out and took charge, and while we were talking
France and the war with her big son, that chicken
was cooked to perfection. Ask Wally.

Coal by the Minefull

A grand night for sleep here, too, on a wonderful
hilltop, with the temperature down to about 50 deg.
Astir were we at daylight, but not too early for our
hospitable lady, who was out with fresh eggs. When
the lieutenant informed us that he had a coal mine
on the farm, Wally's eyes began to stick out. That
coal pile back home in Cromwell is none too large,
and right away Wally got to figuring. We inspected
the mine, a hillside "wagon mine" where we cautious-
ly wended our way a hundred yards into the work-
ings on a beautiful 4ft. vein of the best coal mined.
Wally hasn't bought it yet, but I believe negotiations
are still in progress.

In Terre Haute we visited another coal mine and
that time we were dropped vertically 300 yards in the
"cage." At the bottom we embarked on a trip of a
mile to the "headings." We didn't finish it, but were
satisfied to listen to an explanation of the why and
how of modern mining. This- mine, of course, was
idle on account of the strike, and the manager and
other department heads were working 15 hours a day
to keep the water out and the roofs from caving in.
The cashier was driving a mule wagon, hauling coal
to the boiler room. These few men since April 1 have
kept the mine up to a point when work may be re-
sumed at a moment's notice. Let's hope that the
moment will soon come.

Just a word about the roads. Our speedometer here
at Kansas City shows 1700 miles from Cromwell,
Conn. Three hundred of that perhaps are made up
of our excursions off the route. Here and there in
the Eastern States we encountered a stretch of bad
roads, but nothing to complain about until we struck
Missouri, and there — the least said the better. If it
was up to the florists of Missouri we should have

found a boulevard across the State, but alas, we
din't. Ask Wally.

Footnote. — Our route, for those who like details,
was over the Morristown Pike through New Jersey to
Easton, Pa. Then on the Wm. Penn Highway to Har-
risburg; south to Chambersburg and the Lincoln
Highway on which we journeyed to Pittsburgh over
the wonderfully scenic Allegheny Mountains. South-
ward again to Wheeling, W. Va., and onto the Na-
tional Old Trail to Indianapolis. Then over the track
made famous by Daniel Boone in his historic path-
finding venture into the Golden West. A. M. H.

gestion to grow Honesty. Maybe I go about with my
eyes shut, but I have yet to find even a spray of this
remarkable everlasting in a New York flower shop.
In fact, I am making an effort to grow a batch of it
with a view to showing a few grower friends who
seemingly never care to experiment with things until
they actually see them. A year or so ago, I advocated
the culture of Statice sinuata and its varieties as an
everlasting, but while it has not actually become a
general line, there are a few growing it, so that New
York is not relying on California grown stock as
formerly. Indeed, one party has found that being
a perennial, he can, by lifting after flowering is
through, and planting on a bench, get the plants into
flower again in Winter. I might mention that it was
by potting up select forms and carrying over Winter
for seeding purposes, that I found this Statice would
yield flowers in Winter.

Honesty, however, is quite a different subject. The
flower itself is a weed being of the crucifera order,
and not particularly attractive, either in the purple
or white form, at least little more so than the Cab-
bage flower. It is the seed pods that have commer-
cial value, for they are unlike anything else, being
large and flat ; about the size of a 25c. piece.

Despite its name, the plant is a biennial and is
usually sown in the Spring to flower a year later.
Possibly by sowing under glass early, it would flower
the same season, but not so strongly ; moreover, it is
impatient of both heat and shade in the early stages,
the growth under such conditions being exceedingly
soft and drawn.

Sown in the open or in a coldframe in May and
transplanted to where they are to flower the plants
make only a tuft of leaves like a Canterbury Bell
the first season. The following Spring tall spikes of
bloom 3ft. or more high are sent up. these being fol-
lowed by the quaint pods. The name Lunaria is de-
rived from luna the moon. The pods being round.

When at the right stage of ripeness, the stems are
cut and bunched, and hung up to dry, when the outer
surfaces of the pods readily rub off, disclosing the
transparent skin which separates the seeds. The term
Honesty was presumably given by the ancients be-
cause the seeds were visible.

The flower, while very ancient, is scarcely known
to the modern generation, but Bailey says it may be
found in very old gardens and even as an escape. It
is a native of Europe. Being of the crucifera order
it is liable to the diseases that affect this family.
Land that gives club root to Cabbage will not pro-
duce excellent results ; lime should not be lacking.

The plant is also addicted to a sootlike fungus
which attacks the seed pods causing the inner skin
to blacken. Bordeaux mixture is usually a good pre-
ventive, but expert dryers have a method of bleaching
the pods with sulphur, so that the effect of this
fungus is not so noticeable. W.

We are informed that one concern in Michigan has
in the past three years sold $10,000 worth of one va-
riety of Gladiolus of their own hybridization. Glad-
iolus growers and hybridists take courage.

In another column we give the story of Capt.
George Thomas's new Rose, which is shortly to be
christened in a public function at Portland, Ore.
This event will be in a great measure under the
segis of the Portland Chamber of Commerce. Surely,
the florists of the country should be honored, and
feel that considerable has been added to their dig-
nity when a Chamber of Commerce of a big city like
Portland thus gives publicity to a new Rose.

At first thought the connection between the tariff
rate on white arsenic and the florist trade may not
seem very close. However, when it is realized what
an important part this material plays in the poison
sprays used both indoors and outdoors in protecting
our plants from many injurious insects, our readers
will find gratification in the fact that a recent deci-
sion in Congress was to place this material on the
free list. Previously the House had made white
arsenic dutiable at 25 per cent, while the Senate Fi-
nance Committee had proposed to subject it to a
two cent per pound tax.

We live in an era of airplanes, radio and other time
and space eliminating devices, it is true, but there is
a limit. A weekly journal cannot hope and does not
want to report important event in daily newspaper
fashion. There is little satisfaction in poor photos
and illustrations and no value at all in incorrect or
incomplete lists of delegates. Wherefore, coming down
to matters of immediate import, The Exchange pre-
ferred to save its list of "Those Present" at Kansas
City, and the interesting views taken there, for publi-
cation in this week's issue, when the work could be
well and thoroughly done.

The address of W. L. A. Johnson on "The Coal
Situation" as delivered before the S. A. F. Conven-
tion and published in this issue had, of course, an
intense interest for florists and growers. But it is
also full of startling and significant facts that would
appeal to a much larger audience as well — to all
Ajnerican citizens in fact who glory in the principles
of independence and democracy upon which the
strength and greatness of the United States are
based. For, by Mr. Johnson's account, the situation
in the coal mining industry, with the immense, dom-
ineering powers of the Mine Workers' organization,
must constitute an actual menace to the perpetuation
of those principles.

Of course there must be various sides to every con-
troversy, and it is unfortunate that the convention
could not have heard from representatives of the
other parties involved in coal handling, namely the
transportation companies and the miners themselves
But even by itself the statement of the coal opera-
tors warrants the most careful consideration and
deliberation because of the conditions it describes and
which the country cannot afford to have continue in-
definitely.

A Message from President S. S. Pennock

Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 18, 1922

If I did not publicly express through the trade
press, the appreciation for all that had been done to
make the 3Sth convention the success it was, I would
feel that I was leaving Kansas City with my work
as president unfinished, so on behalf of the S. A. F.
1 want to take this opportunity to thank each and
every one for their valuable help, their kindness, their
unfailing loyalty in making it possible to have such a
wonderful convention, a convention that will go down
in history as one marking progress and making for
better working conditions in the society. This could
not have been accomplished but for that spirit of co-
operation which was displayed by everyone.

To the Kansas City florists, particularly, I think we
owe a debt of gratitude for the special arrangements
they made and the way they carried them out. Every
detail relating to the business part was cared for
most thoroughly, while our comforts were attended
to with a hospitality that will ever be remembered as
a bright spot in our lives.

Not only to the florists of Kansas City are we in-
debted, but to the city as a whole, from the mayor
down, including the Convention Bureau and the Con-
vention Hall management, do we extend our very
warmest appreciation and heartiest thanks.

S. S. Pennock.

See Last Week's Issue

In the midst of the bustle and mild confusion that
inevitably accompanies publication of a convention
report issue, one error slipped through in last week's
Exchange, for which we desire to apologize. After
the last minute report from Kansas City had been
received and squeezed in about one thousand copies
of the paper were run off before it was noticed that
to make room for this report there had been omitted
a short paragraph referring to the illustration on
page 4S4. For the benefit of any who" received one of
those thousand copies we want to mention that the
exhibit of hardy perennials shown therein was made
by Tom Wylle of Holly St., Seattle. Wash., at the
1922 Seattle Rose Show. We leave to our readers the
enjoyable task of identifying such of the species as
they are familiar with, while admiring the general
effect of the display.

Friend Alex. MacLellan, of Newport (R. I.) sends
us a gentle reminder that some of our editorial com-
ments may not always be taken in the spirit of harm-
less raillery in which they are meant. In our last
issue, for instance, we expressed, with attempted
facetiousness, a rather prevalent sentiment regarding
the 18th Amendment. Mr. McLellan asserts that there
are, indeed, many American citizens who realize and
appreciate the good effects of prohibition and who
would vote again for it, or to maintain it; and to
support his assertion he refers to the admirable spirit
and order maintained in Newport during the recent
celebration of Atlantic Fleet Day. It was, he says,
one of the biggest events in the city's history, yet not
an arrest or a complaint was made despite the fact
that thousands of sailors were on shore leave. And
he asks, "Would such a thing be possible with the
saloons open?"

Seriously, we quite agree with Mr. McLellan, and
we admire him for his frank and sturdy statement
of his most estimable conviction. Undoubtedly the net
results of the 18th Amendment are beneficial to the
Nation and the public — florists included — notwith-
standing the plaintive objections — some sincere and
some not so sincere — that greet our ears and eyes
from time to time.

Taking a hint from Miss Irene Hayes' investiga-
tions into the psychology of flowers — mentioned in
the retail columns — we are about to prepare some
suggestions on Suitable Flowers and Plants for All
Places and Occasions.

In decorating the rooms for a good lively dance,
for instance, what could be more appropriate than
plenty of Bouncing Bet and Johnny Jump-Ups? Ob-
viously the bouquet for the banker's desk should be
of Pennywort and Bill-berry, or even the common
but indefinite (as to denomination) Money. Retail
shops should carefully select their floral decorations
for different departments, it being unnecessary to
state where Lady Slippers and Queen's Lace Hand-
kerchief should be used. Outside the portals of Tam-
many Hall, when plants are fully utilized, we expect
to see a couple of Slippery Elms (grafted), while ere
long every grocer will have his Spice Bush, every auto
tire emporium its Ruhber Plant, and every bucket shop
its perennial border of Milk (-ed) weeds, grown of
course from suckers. Perhaps the Zoological Parks
don't need any additional Dandelions, Tiger Lilies.
Oaladiums, i.e. Elephant Ears, etc., but surely the
grounds of the Aquarium would be improved by some

well arranged Golden Seals and some selected plants
of Eel Grass. And — oh bother, we've run out of com-
mon names, and it's too much trouble to go and get
Bailey's Cyclopedia or Johnson's Dictionary. Go
ahead and finish it yourself.

The Portland Rose Society and the Royal Rosarians
of Portland, Ore., are arranging details for an im-
pressive ceremony to take place at the time of the
meeting of the general convention of -the Episcopal
Church in September. The new climbing Rose then
will formally receive its name, "Mrs. George C.
Thomas."

This new Rose, which was shown in the 1920 Rose
Annual, is the result of teu years of effort by Captain
George Thomas of Philadelphia to produce an ever-
blooming climbing Rose, and- its record under the
Portland test evidences his success. Planted in the
International Rose Test Gardens in Portland it blos-
somed from May until October, producing during that
period over 400 blooms and scoring the highest of all
Roses tested there in 1921.

The ceremony of the naming of the new Rose was
set for Sept. 16, instead of during Portland's Rose
Festival, as has been customary in like cases, because
of the fact that Captain Thomas' father was for
many years the treasurer of the National Episcopal
Church organization, and his mother, for whom the
Rose is named, has been one of the country's largest
contributors to the work of the Episcopal Church.

The "naming" is to take place in the Auditorum,
Portland, Saturday evening, Sept. 16, at which time
Capt. Thomas will be presented with the gold medal
of the city of Portland for the best new climbing
Rose and the silver trophy of the Portland Rose
Society for the best new Rose produced by an ama-
teur. As a special feature attending this ceremony,
the Royal Rosarians will knight several prominent
Rose growers who will then be in the city as dele-
gates to the General Convention of the Episcopal
Church.

What Ails This Committee ?

Among the features of the Kansas City Convention
that arouse a sense of disappointment — and certainly
there were but few of this sort— was the report of
Fred A. Wilson, chairman of the Committee on Edu-
cation. And yet, it was not so much his report as the
failure of his committeemen to cooperate with him
that causes regret. Here we have a body of men se-
lected by the president of a great national organiza-
tion to look into the exceedingly important subject
of education and to recommend possible action which
the society as a whole might take to either increase
the facilities for, or augment the efficiency of, educa-
tional development. Not such a very difficult task
this, as the work of committees goes, and yet the
chairman found it absolutely impossible to get any
response from the members, or any evidence" of the
slightest interest in the task that had been delegated
to them !

Some chairmen might have shrugged their shoul-
ders, formulated a superficial statement, perforce
based on their own individual viewpoint, and turned
it in as a report. Not so Mr. Wilson. He preferred
to take the somewhat more difficult and certainly
more disagreeable course of regretfully announcing
his inability to interest his brother members of the
committee and to refrain from making any sugges-
tions in the field the committee was designed to cover.
We applaud this course because it brings the matter
clearly before the society as a condition that ought,
in some way, be corrected.

We do not feel, as Mr. Wilson appears to, that it
was lack of prestige or prominence on his part that
caused his committee to fail to act. As a matter of
fact, all too many committees show this same ten-
dency no matter What organizations they are work-
ing for, nor of whom they are composed. Because
such a state of inertia is common, is, however, no
reason for the Society of American Florists to con-
sent to its existence in any of its administrative bod-
ies. We hope that Mr. Wilson's frankness and fear-
lessness in grasping the thorny branches of this un-
pleasant dilemma will result in a new point of view,
a new enthusiasm and a new sense of responsibility
on the part of all members of all the S. A. F. com-
mittees— which is not to say that some of these bod-
ies are not already proving 100 per cent efficient, but
only that we believe all of them can and should meas-
ure up to this high standard.

Everyone should read the report of the Canadian
Florists and Gardeners Association which appeared in
last week's issue. One may readily visualize what a
rollicking time every one had, and we are grateful
that at least two notable Americans were present.

The New York Florists Club will surely expect
Chas. H. Totty and Roman J. Irwin to describe the
doings in Montreal, when the club reopens next
month.

Our National Flower Shows

From President S. S. Pennock's address at Kansas
City : "There are so many large municipalities which
would welcome a national flower show that one could
be held every year, to be handled by its own S. A. F.
and O. H. committee, without putting the local people
to expense.'' ■

Attention is called to the announcement of the De-
partment of Agriculture regarding the extension of
the time limit for the granting of special permits for
the importation of Rhododendron, Azalea and Japa-
nese Maple plants three years old or less, until July 1,
1923. "The fact has been determined by the secre-
tary," it would seem, that these materials are not yet
being produced in this country in the abundant and
sufficient quantities to which Quarantine 37 propo-
nents so frequently refer. Just how practicable it is
to bring in these plants "with the roots washed free
of sand, soil or earth." has not, we think, been proved
to everyone's satisfaction. We hope to be able, within
a short time to present a symposium of the opinions
of leading growers on this point, together with sug-
gestions as to packing and preparation for shipment,
which prospective importers can send to their foreign
sources of supply.

Changing from Coal to Oil

The fact that the Ford Motor Co.'s Highland Park
plant (Detroit l is being equipped with oil burners
is just announced. The change was made without any
delay in the works. It is said the Ford Co. has placed
orders for 12.000.000 gallons of fuel oil. Oil burners
have been placed in all the boilers, of which there
are fourteen, but before installing these, coke screen-
ings and other fuel were tried out and found unsatis-
factory.

With the present outlook, florists in districts likely
to be affected by the coal shortage should investigate
the practicability of keeping their plants going
through the use of oil, should coal fail to reach them
It is understood that oil burners can be substituted
at a comparatively small expense and without loss of
time. Also, they can be removed when coal is again
accessible.

Before resorting to the use of oil, however, the
florist should first of all assure himself that a full
supply is obtainable and at a certain fixed price. In
other words, he should secure a contract for his oil.

Florists Telegraph Delivery

At 3 p.m. the convention assembly room was turned
over to the Florists Telegraph Delivery by courtesy
of the S. A. F. and O. H. officials. Fred Ammann out-
lined the work which he had been doing on behalf of
the F. T. D., giving a brief resume of what has been
going on since last May covering his travels and con-
ferences. He maintained that the retail florists
through their telegraph business had the most unique
merchandising system in the world. Mr. Ammann
exhibited one chart showing the approximate location
of members throughout the United States, and an-
other and instructive one showing "What We Have,"
and "What We Will Have," this latter chart relating
to the proposed changes in administration of the
F. T. D. business.

With regard to the proposed clearing house, a retail
florist (John Smith) will make out all his bills on
one sheet and send same to the main office instead
of as now making out separate bills to each debtor.
These will duly be entered to his credit ; to balance
this will be grouped all the bills which the said John
Smith has contracted through the orders he, himself,
sent out. When the two accounts are balanced, if in
his favor he will receive a cheque; if against him,
a bill. These statements to be handled monthly, we
believe.

President Breitmeyer made the claim for the F. T.
D. that it now has 2500 members and certainly every
one will go on record that these men constitute the
livest bunch of society members anywhere, this be-
cause the work of the society interests each and
every member in the contents of his pocketbook.

Mr. Breitmeyer regretted the absence of Secretary
Pochelon who, he said, was busy in Detroit and un-
able to come; he proposed that each member present
"send a smile by radio" to the amiable secretary and
to this the audience quickly gave assent.

' Annual Convention assembled at Kansas City, Mo.,
Aug. 17, 1922, feel most keenly the loss of the de-

of long ago will greet us nevermore. It has been
truthfully said that, "When we die all we leave be-
hind is what we have given away." Our fellow-
' members who have gone, never to return, gave gener-

cherished and long remembered by those who follow
after. We miss the happy greetings and the hand-
clasps of lasting friendship. We miss the smile and
cheer, we miss the sad good-byes when the convention
days are over and, trusting to profit by the example
of our former associates, it is hereby

Resolved, That we tender our heartfelt sympathy
to the relatives and friends of those who have passed
away since our last meeting, hoping the sympathy we
extend in all sincerity may help to alleviate the sor-

Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon
the records of the society and copies sent to the

The Ladies S. A. F.

The Ladies Society of American Florists held its
annual meeting Wednesday morning, Aug. 16. The
session was opened at 10.30 a.m. by Miss Gunterberg,
president, with an address rich with poetical allu-
sions and quotations, and replete with bright sug-
gestions for the making of the world happy through
flowers. She spoke particularly of the women flo-
rists who directly contribute to the sum total of
happiness by their own work, and also of the wives
Of florists who render their contribution indirectly by
means of their cooperation and support. She sug-
gested a new enterprise for the women of the society,
iu connection with the annual conventions and exhibi-
tions— namely, that the flowers left over after the
exhibition be handled by a committee to be distrib-
uted to hospitals and the poor of the convention city.
She also urged the members to develop, in their own
cities, definite programs, for providing flowers for
hospitals, and other institutions, and for individuals
and families who might otherwise lack the comfort
and blessing of these means to happiness.

Mrs. T. A. Moseley, chairman of the local enter-
tainment committee for the visiting ladies, gave a
short and kindly welcome, to which Mrs. Frank H.
Traendly responded gracefully.

Arrangements whereby acquisition of new member^
might be facilitated were made, one detail being the
providing of application blanks.

Comment was made on the very effective member-
ship work done by Miss Olga Hubbard, of Topeka.
first vice-president, who prepared application blanks
and by correspondence and through her own personal
efforts added more than 20 members to the society.
Mrs. Moseley had also secured many new members.

Mrs. Albert H. Herr and Miss Fullmer, as secretary
and treasurer respectively, made reports showing sub-
stantial gains in the strength and effectiveness of the
society.

Mrs. C. C. Pollworth was elected president, Mrs.
Wallace Piersou, of Cromwell, Conn., first vice-presi-
dent, and Mrs. Hess of Omaha, second vice-president.
Mrs. Herr and Miss Fullmer were re-elected secre-
tary and treasurer.

Annual Meeting, Wednesday Afternoon, Aug. 16

The following amendments to the F. H. A. by-laws
were unanimously adopted at the annual meeting of
that body in Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 16 :

Article XIII, Section 1. — To read "the membership
fee shall be $3 for every person insuring 2000 sq. ft. or
less of glass, and $1 for each additional 1000 sq. ft.,"
instead of $2 and 50c , respectively.

Article XXI, Section 2. — To read "20% lof regular as-
sessment." instead of "10%."

Article XXX (new), Section 1. — "All hazardous risks
unpaid before full payment of said hazard has been
liquidated, upon future renewal, whether by original

owner or agent of said glass, or by new owner or agent,
must be assumed by the new applicant."

Article XXXI (new), Section 1. — "Re-insurance shall
be charged upon all glass broken, when adjustment of
loss is made, in such manner as shall restore insurance
to same status as previous to loss."

Article XXXI, Section 2. — "When houses are not to
be rebuilt, the Secretary must be notified at time of
filing claim, in which case no re-insurance is to be
charged, and membership of claimant, from date of
such notification, must be canceled on the books of the
Association."

J. F. Ammann, Earl H. Mann and Anders Rasmus-
sen were re-elected directors for the ensuing three
years.

Reciprocal insurance was discussed and generally
condemned.

Directors' Meeting

The board of directors elected the following offi-
cers : J. F. Ammann, president ; J. S. Wilson, vice-
president ; John G. Esler, secretary ; James W. Hea-
cock, treasurer.

Also the 35th assessment was ordered levied Jan. 1,
1923 and payable Feb. 1, 1923. The insurance on dou-
ble thick glass having cost the association 9 4/5c.
per 100 sq. ft. for the past year, the directors fixed
the sum of 10c. per 100 sq. ft. to be the amount of
assessments for the 35th levy.

Address by President J. F. Ammann

The Florists' Hail Association of America was in-
corporated on June 1, 1887, about 35 years ago. It was
the first offspring from the Society of American Flo-
rists, so it might well be termed the oldest child of
the parent society.

We may consider ourselves very fortunate in that
we still have among us many of the founders of this
beneficent organization. Like all progressive move-
ments this association in its infancy met with many
obstacles which the founders had to overcome, and we
are much indebted to them for having steered us along
in safe channels these many years.

Our organization is quite different from most mutual
insurance associations in that we issue no policies but
rather certificates of membership; with our splendid
reserve fund always at hand we occupy the distinctive
position of a capitalized mutual insurance association.

From time to time, of course, our by-laws have been
amended and revised, but the one principal factor that
was always predominant in the minds of the officers
was the necessity of building up and increasing a re-
serve fund so that today we have a reserve of nearly
$60,000.

I am informed by the secretary that a total of 3200
losses have been adjusted since our organization began,
the total amount paid in losses to date being $612,000.
This, I am sure you will all agree, speaks well for the
founders of this association.

Tribute to Secretary Esler

The pilot in this great work for these many years
has been our genial secretary, Jiohn G. Esler, whose
name and address has become a common household
phrase among florists and gardeners all over the coun-
try.

He has rendered efficient service to this organization
for so many years that the writer of this message out
of respect for Mr. Esler shall not state the exaot num-
ber for fear he may consider himself getting old at the
mention of it, which of course is not true, at least not
mentally, because I know from his last two years'
work in reviewing the adjustment of losses his mind
is as keen as ever. His interest for the welfare of all
the members is shown in every adjustment he has
made. In fact, up to two years ago when our friend,
E G. Hill, retired from the presidency, this association
was in the hands of two of the spriest young chaps
ever known to the trade, and that is the reason for
this wonderful progress.

I am going to quote you, herewith, some of the fig-
ures as given in the secretary's annual report, ending
with Aug. 1, 1922. The total amount of insurance in
effect is 54,309,391 sq. ft. of glass or a little over one-
third of the entire amount of glass in the United States.
The number of members is 1690. The total receipts
for the last fiscal year were $68,811.40, and the total
expenditures, $62,277.36. The cash balance on hand was
$6534.04, of which amount $11S9.70 belongs to the re-
serve fund, which at this time totals $59,187.70. This,
as you will readily note, leaves the association in good
financial condition.

It is surprising indeed to find a large number of es-
tablishments throughout the country that carry no hail
insurance whatever. Many of these in certain parts of
the country have considered themselves immune from
hail owing to their favorable locations In recent years,
however, they have begun to wake up to the fact that
no community is entirely immune, for hailstorms have
been prevalent in all sections of the country, and sev-
eral storms have occurred in States where owners of
glass have previously considered themselves entirely
immune.

Within only a few weeks New York, Atlantic City
and North Carolina all had severe hailstorms. The old
axiom of locking- the door after the horse is stolen is
applicable to many cases at the present time.

Our association has from time to time called atten-
tion of brother florists throughout the country to the
advantages of the protection they might have by be-
coming members. Many have ignored these urgent in-
vitations to their sorrow. We, however, extend them
a glad hand and invite them again to come and join
us in a bond of mutual benefit.

Remember, no one part of the United States pays the
losses for the other part in our plan of assessment.
Each pays its proportionate share towards losses.
Our plan' is absolutely equitable. Our association Is
financially sound, and is managed upon a conservative
and considerate basis.

Those of you who are members of this great protec-
tive association we congratulate, and to those of you,
who are not members we extend a hearty invitation to
join and become one of us.

The Florists' Exchange

Report of the National Flower Show Committee

By George Asmus, Chairman

A year ago I submitted my report to you at Washing-
ton, and told you of a number of things that were ex-
pected to happen that did not. 1 told you of the possi-
bilities of a dream being realized, a dream that the
leading men in the trade at Cleveland, Ohio, had so
impressed upon their minds, that it seemed almost a
reality to them.

Cleveland's Bright Dream

That dream became almost a fixture in the minds of
the members of the National Flower Show Committee.
Aye, it spread until the entire horticultural world had
begun to look upon it as something real, and that was
the opening with the Fifth National Flower Show of
Cleveland's wonderful $7,500,000 Public Auditorium.
I know how bitter was the later disappointment of all,
and particularly of the well organized and hard work-
ing people of our craft in Cleveland and nearby. They
had done the preliminary work well; all was in readi-
ness, when, almost at the last hour, you might say,
for it was Jan. 6, we were informed that the newly
elected mayor who took office on Jan. 1, would under
no circumstances allow the building to be used until
every detail was finished and finances raised to> prop-
erly maintain it, although we had in our possession a
lease properly and legally executed.

I well remember the day our committee, with the
chairmen of local committees. President Roland and
President-elect Pennock, was in the office of the Com-
missioners of Public Buildings and, after a long con-
ference, was informed that we could positively have
the building for the dates of our show. Alsio that on
account of the educational caliber of our exhibition,
we would be put on the minimum rental basis, which
meant a saving rof many thousands of dollars. We
were indeed happy and rejoiced over what seemed to
us the removing of the last obstacle that stood in the
path of the world's greatest horticultural achievement.
In all our deliberati'Oins were representatives of the
American Rose and Carnation Societies, who were co-
partners in the Fifth National Flower Show, and who
were keyed to the highest pitch on staging the greatest
exhibit in their history.

And the Awakening

But it was not to be. While we would not take no
for an answer, and had meetings in* Cleveland with the
business leaders there who gave us hours of their price-
less time, and though it seemed at times' that their
efforts were to be crowned with success, yet fate
seemed set against the Fifth National Flower Show
and we were forced to reluctantly issue a call to meet
this serious situation. Within 48 hours, each and every
member of the National Flower Show Committee were
in Cleveland at my call.

I want to publicly thank them, and this includes the
president and president-elect of the S. A. F. and O. H.,
also the representatives of the Rose and Carnation So-
cieties, for the time they gave in answering the neces-
sary calls. (President Pennock has said that his wife
wanted to know how long he was going to "commute"
between Philadelphia and Cleveland.) Theirs was no
easy problem to handle. Their task was full of quan-
daries and risks; the enormous expense attached to the
undertaking, makes needful the utmost care in finan-
cing, so the situation that faced yiour committee was
serious.

A little over two months remained before the date
of the show. Materials were being grown all over the
country pointed for these dates. Money to the amount
of over $8000 had been spent on the second fiasco. The
National Flower Show fund, which had in it over
$13,000 was wiped out and a $4000 deficit stared us in
the face. True, we had the guaranteed fund to fall
back -on, but we were proud of our record in that we
had always returned the guarantee money intact, and
with a profit to each subscriber; and although we suf-

fered a loss of $7519.86 when we were forced to call
off the St. Louis show on account of the war, we had
never assessed a guarantor, because our committee
considered them as partners, and that we should first
fall back on the Reserve Fund.

The Ultimate Choice

You can see the position we were in. Nothing but
hard work and united effort could save us. The call was
made and the committee one day wound up its affairs
in Cleveland, and on the next day considered its new
problem. It seemed evident to us that if pio-ssible we
must go ahead with the exhibition. No other building
was suitable or available in Cleveland, so it must be
elsewhere. But where? "We must have a city centrally
located between the flower growing sections We wanted
a building as ideal as possible. We wanted to go some-
where where we knew we could depend on help from
the men in the trade, somewhere where they had done
things. We wanted a good railroad center; the city se-
lected must not be too large, as we could not hope to
properly promote a show of our type in so short a
time; also it must be glad of the opportunity that gave
them this exhibition, and not consider it a burden.

I have stated in my annua] report that in my esti-
mation any city with over 200,000 population can sup-
port a National Flower Show, and I am pleased that
my /opinion was proved correct by the results obtained
at the recent exhibition. After careful consideration
and long anxious hours, Indianapolis was chosen. We
knew we had an army of workers there, and some gen-
erals too. I refer to Irwin Bertermann, who acted as
chairman oif the local executive committee, Mr. Hitts,
president of the Indiana State Florists Association, and
many others who acted as chairmen and workers. But
the men of Indiana did not stop at recruiting helpers
from the trade. They started at the top of the heap
by making Governor Frank McCray a worker.

I wish I had more time to tell you how nice every
one was in that city — the Chamber of Commerce, the
Interurban Lines, newspapers, etc. Just think of the
Indianapolis "Star" on the opening day of the show, get-
ting out an extra edition of the paper with pages 1 to
14 containing nothing but our show! Some 650,000 lines
of reading matter altogether were obtained, and that
is why we had over 80,000 people pay admission to our
show that was held in a building five and one-half miles
from the heart of the city on a fair ground, even
though for seven of the eight days of the show it rained
and was very disagreeable. The roads were almost un-
accessible and were carried out by high waters, and
we had advertised and organized all the surrounding
towns, for we were depending on the 2,000,000 popula-
tion that were within two- hours' ride of Indianapolis!
If we had had any break in the weather we would have
replaced in the treasury every dollar used for both the
St. Louis and the Cleveland ventures, and then some.
All of this was done in two months' time.

A Result to Be Proud Of

And so. instead of standing here apologizing for an-
other unforeseen occurrence, I am here to tell you that
we made a profit of over $8000 in Indianapolis; that
the National Flower Show Fund is still intact; and
that we are ready for the next venture. I don't know
if it is the nature of the business we are in that gives
us the type of men we have in our .industry, but we
certainly have shown the business world that we are
doers and can face serious situations calmly and safely
Perhaps this is one of the reasons we are so proud of
our industry, and the men who are engaged in it.

I am pleased to state that at no exhibition in the
past have we been able to so promptly prepare a com-
plete financial statement as after the recent show. 1
will read to you a brief summary of receipts and ex-
penditures and you will notice that a considerable part
of the money expended goes to trade members for pre-
miums, etc. The _ detailed financial account will be
printed in the proceedings, but would consume too
much time if read. The society's auditors are to be
congratulated on their splendid job of auditing.

Publicity Effects of Our Shows

Thus it will be seen that we are solvent. I want to
call attention to the greatest result, the real object
of the show, and that is the publicity secured. If we
were to pay but ten cents a line for the "write ups" we
received in Indianapolis, it would have cost $65,000.
And so we must look at the money expended in
St. Louis and Cleveland> The bulk of this was spent
for publicity, and in Cleveland I don't believe there
were many people who could read or write who did not
inow about the intended National Flower Show. We
were forced into publicity there that we never thought
of in our controversy with the mayor about the lease
on the building. Headlines in bold type .and page after
page of other write ups were given, and if we decide
to go to Cleveland in the near future with the show
(and Mayor Kohler extended an invitation by telegram
during our show at Indianapolis) we will be the gain-
ers from this publicity. Let me impress upon you that
no better means of exploiting our industry can be had
than the National Shows.

I cannot close my report without a public expression
of thanks to the men who made sacrifices in helping
to make the exhibit at Indianapolis a success. I am
-afraid if 1 start to mention them by name I might for-
get some, and I don't want to do that. In fact words
fail me here. I can only say that the men who did
their part so well have the heartfelt thanks of every
member of our committee, and I believe of every mem-
"ber of the Society of American Florists. If these shows
are to be continued — and of course they are — we must
have many of such sacrifices and more men in the pro-
fession must help. We cannot go on forever asking- the
same men to do the things which mean so much to all.
Thanks are alsiO' due exhibitors, contributors, guaran-
tors, and the horticultural press for the splendid sup-
port they gave in making the show a success.

In closing let me say that when the call is made on
you for the Sixth National Flower Show, remember the
sacrifices made by those who made the Indianapolis
show possible, and do your bit. Cleveland was loyal
and though bitterly disappointed, she stood by Indian-
apolis in every possible way, and Herman Knoble and
his Cleveland workers are due untold thanks for their
part in making 'the sacrifices they did. We redeemed
about 900 railroad certificates. We think that this
was about one-half of the attendance iof those in the
trade, and we want to thank them also for visiting the
exhibition.

National Publicity Campaign Report

Chairman Henry Penn rendered the report for this
■committee, speaking in part as follows :

What a pleasure it is to think that in the Ave years
since the National Publicity Campaign started, its im-
portance has not waned, but rather increased! Yet,
while it has performed its mission it still has much
to do. Those who are interested and have followed its
course have much to be grateful for, particularly when
they note the various obstacles and thorns overcome.

Although we have progressed in our development of
floral advertising throughout the nation we have mot
caught up with the spirit of its national importance.
We have permitted ourselves to be content with its
past success, if the campaign can be called successful,
much to the astonishment of all concerned.

More Support Needed

Notwithstanding the small amount appropriated
yearly for a National Campaign, much has been done
and more can be done provided we can interest new
blood in the thought that by helping the cause thev
are merely helping themselves. We should have a
larger appropriation to insure proper results for a
pusiness with as large a scope as the florists' indus-
tries; and the greater the amount received, the better
the return.

All will agree that "Say it with Flowers" has be-
come a byword throughout the civilized world, and

will continue as such if we can maintain the proper
dignity in its presentation. You have a committee
which is at all times ready to receive suggestions for
the general improvement of the various programs, and
which is endeavoring- to expend the small amount sub-
scribed in securing the greatest good for the greater

Shall Prosperity Be Continued ?

It is highly significant that we have had to face
no depression as have most other lines of business.
Have not the florists prospered despite all the dis-
turbances from which many other lines are still suf-
fering? Many of us, perhaps, owing to the way our
present volume has kept up, have forgotten that busi-
ness is on the wane, and undoubtedly many will won-
der when this statement is brought to light just what
has helped bring the condition about. This probably
is the reason why many of the florists are content to
stand by without contributing to the cause, feeling
that they are doing pretty well as matters stand. Yet
they would increase their business many times were
each to do but a small part.

Will the future of the campaign be assured? The an-
swer lies with you.

We have promise that the various allied associa-
tions already formed, and many more in formation,
will make up the nucleus of the future fund founda-
tion, and no better method could be devised to secure
equality of appropriations.

Let us do for the posterity of the floricultural inter-
ests what we have started out to do, so that we may
pass on to the next generation a heritage that will
meet and merit their approval. We have started some-
thing; let us continue.

The poorer the housekeeper the nearer perfection she
expects in her maid. The less ambitious the store
owner the greater results does he expect of his adver-
tising, whereas, in reality, the return of your adver-
tising will be in proportion to what you expend in
that direction plus all other essentials. Have we been
fair and generous to the fund? If not, it is never too
late to give your support to help put over what was
so sadly lacking before this campaign started.

Let National Publicity Help Local Advertising

We must continually remind the public that we have
a product worth buying, and we must push National
Advertising to help the local advertising- gain its mo-
mentum.

We owe much to our national publicity because
through it you have caused more florists to advertise
locally. Thus everybody shares in its action.

More power to the florists and may they achieve still
greater heights so that "gluts" will be but a passing
thought of what happened once, never to return. Shall
we say "Amen?" If so, stand back of vour national
campaign and automatically the deed is done. You
will then have accomplished the one thing we have all
desired — the creation of more good flowers and plants
and also of more consumers to enjoy them. This is
our mission.

Your committee feels that it has been greatly re-
warded in its endeavor to do that which is expected
of it, and to merit your further support in the greatest
campaign that was ever put forth; one which all will
.concede has for its background the greatest of gloom-
killers— MORE FLOWERS. e

In the Sphere of Sports

Ladies Bowl Before Large Galleries

Bowling tournaments for S. A. F. and 0. H. con-
ventions received strong impetus at Kansas City,
where the participants were more numerous than at
any previous convention and where the "gallery"
was so large and vociferous as to materially enhance
the enthusiasm. There were nearly 200 persons in the

seats provided for spectators in Harvey's Recreation,
the spacious alleys and seating facilities being unusu-
ally favorable.

The women's bowling tournament, directed by Miss
Mary Ilayden. began about 6 o'clock Wednesday
evening, before a large number of both men and
women "rooters. The silver cup donated by Samuel
Murray as the first prize went to Miss Ida Bruning
of St. Louis for a score of 375. Second prize, a lamp
from H. Bayersdorfer & Co.. went to Mrs. Traendly
with 353; third prize, a silk umbrella from the
T. J. Noll Floral Co.. to Miss Clara Bruning (328) ;
fourth prize, strand of beads from II. Kusik & Co.,
to Mrs. McCauley (312) ; and fifth prize, a hand bag
from the Stuppy Supply Co.. to Mrs. Geo. Asmus
(308). The booby prize, a vanity case given by Miss
Mary Hayden, was awarded to Mrs. Hunt of Con-
cordia, Kan.

St. Louis Wins the Team Cup

Seven teams participated in the men's tournament.
Two teams each from St. Louis and Kansas City, and
one each from Omaha, Denver and Chicago." The
St. Louis No. 1 team won the Kansas City Florists
Club's silver loving chip, with a score of 2203. Second
prize, belts with gold buckles for each player on the
team, was won by Denver Floral Club team, with
2092 ; and the booby prize, four small bottles with
useful functions, given by John Klaus, Greenwood,
Mo., was awarded the team of the Omaha Florists
Club.

In individual play, prizes were awarded as follows :

1. Mantel clock from Roy F. Wilcox to Kuhleman,
Chicago, 524.

2. $25 in gold from Denver Wholesale Florist Co.
to Meyer, Denver, 504.

3. Smoking set from Lord & Burnham to Amling,
Chicago, 490.

4. Outing refrigerator from A. L. Randall & Co.
to Donahew, Kansas City, 48S.

5. Refrigerator basket from Burlington Willow
Ware Co. to Harlow, 477.

6. $20 worth of Roses from Stuppy Floral Co. to
Bentzen, St. Louis, 465.

7. $10 in gold from Yaughan Seed Co. to Windier,
Chicago, 464.

8. $10 in gold from American Greenhouse Co. to
Beyer. St. Louis, 463.

9. Set of table bowls and vases from Kansas City
Wholesale Cut Flower Co. to Meyer, Omaha, 451.

10. Flower vase from H. Kusik Co. to Hultz, Kan-
sas City, 444.

11. Flower vase from T. J. Noll & Co. to Glauber,
St. Louis, 437.

There were 16 alleys in constant use by contes-
tants and by other players, from the opening of the
tournament until its close after midnight, Wednes-
day night. The visitors were served refreshments
throughout the evening. John Klaus was director of
the men's tournament.

Golf Tournament Goes with Gusto

The golf tournament proved a distinct success at
Kansas City. When the cars provided drove up to

The Florists' Exchange

the hotel Wednesday morning at 6.30 the entire con-
tingent of entrants was waiting at the curb. They
were taken to Meadow Lake Country Club, where 30
contestants sat down to breakfast. There were four
women in the company, and one of them, Mrs. C. L.
Washburn, participated in the tournament, making a
better score than several of the men turned in.

The silver loving cup presented by William L. Rock-
was won by A. C. Brown, of Springfield, 111., with the
low medal score of 85. Second prize, a golf club
given by the Kansas City Florists Club for the third
lowest medal, was won by W. E. Cook, of Cleveland,
with 97 ; third prize, golf socks given by Stuppy Sup-
ply Co. went to H. Joy. Nashville, Tenn., for the sixth
lowest medal — 107 ; and fourth prize, a set of bowls
and vases, to Mr. Washburn, of Chicago, for the
tenth lowest medal score of 116.

Mention should here be made of other players who
didn't happen to win prizes, but who played well
enough to be "noticed." The second lowest medal
score (94) was made by J. W. Sherlock, of Kansas
City: the fourth lowest (100) by W. L. Rock, and
the fifth lowest (106) by C, D. Kinsman, of Austin,
Minn.

Other players were A. W. Gunz, W. A. Rowe, F. M.
Stuttle, Fred Lemon, H. V. Swenson. R. Wells, A. Ras-
mussen. O. J. Ruff, F. Joy and R. J. Irwin.

A very effective exhibition, approved by judges and
acknowledged to be of real value, was made on the
links by Fred Lemon, in the nature of a species known
as "Alibi." The variety is quite familiar to florists
and golfers when Latinized as "Alibi clubslosticus."
Mr. Lemon had shipped his clubs to Kansas City, in
care of a local florist, with a canny intention of prac-
ticing in advance, so as to have an advantage over the
other players. The clubs were still in the florist's
store after the convention, having been incidentally
uncovered in the clearing up of the office. Whether Mr.
Lemon had forgotten their destination, or had merely
neglected to send for them, remains a mystery, but
the fact is well attested that he played with borrowed
club, a severe handicap. At that, he made an 10S,
a good score on a strange course.

F. T. D. Notes

An informal meeting of the Committee on Consti-
tution and By-Laws of the F. T. D. was held Fri-
day morning following the S. A. F. Convention. The
members gathered at 10 o'clock at the home of Wil-
liam L. Rock, where they had seclusion from inter-
ruption, and pleasant surroundings for a hard day's
work which lasted until 4 in the afternoon, and ac-
complished much. No radical changes are to be recom-
mended at the Baltimore meeting, it is understood.
The idea of a clearing house is looked upon as too
big to be handled immediately by changes in rules ;
it may be that a suggestion will be made to permit the
operation of the clearing house plan for a period,
changes in rules to be made as practice and experi-
ence may later indicate as advisable; There were
present Philip Breitmeyer, who acted as chairman of
the session ; J. F. Ammann. Ed Sceery, Paterson, N. J.,
Max Schling. Elmer Swenson who acted as secretary,
M. Bloy, of the F. T. D. Sews and Mr. Rock.

The Coal Situation in America

Thursday Evening's Feature

The final entertainment at Electric Park Thurs-
day evening was attended by about 600 florists, wives
and children, who rode on the Big Dipper, enjoyed
the "Follies." partook of refreshments, waved balloons
marked "Say it with Flowers," and delighted in the
Silhouette Gardens where a high class entertainment
was provided, including special features touching on
flowers.

In the Gardens occurred the presentation to Mr.
and Mrs. Pennock of a handsome table silver service,
the address being made by Wallace F. Pierson of
Cromwell. Conn. Glenn Parker and his megaphone
helped, by gathering the crowd for special events. Ed.
A. Humfeld. chairman of the entertainment commit-
tee of the Kansas City Florist Club, had charge of ar-
arrangements here, where the decorations, as well
as the pleasures of the park, were commented on.

During the mnsieale at Meadow Lake. Miss Guter-
berg. the retiring president of the Ladies Society
of American Florists, was presented with a diamond
ring by her fellow members.

THE production of fuel for the needs of the nation
is preeminently a basic industry and one of the
fundamentals of most all other industries. We
find from the geological reports that the total produc-
tion of bituminous coal is approximately 500.000,000
tons per year, and of anthracite, from 90,000,000 to
100.000,000 tons. The divisional uses of this output
are about as follows :

Industrial establishments and public utilities. .36%

Railroads 28%

Coke manufacturers 14%

Household, domestic and miscellaneous uses.. 15%
Export, bunker coal, and use at mines 7%

It is impossible to estimate the total investment of
capital in the coal industry, on account of the hazar-
dous nature of the undertaking and the losses inci-
dental to mistaken prospecting and faulty or unwork-
able veins ; but it is estimated that there is invested
from $2 to .$2.25 for every ton of coal produced per
year. This investment becomes profitable only when
there can be reasonably regular operation of the
mines, under intelligent and unrestricted manage-
ment.

The Three Essential Factors

The question of management brings to our atten-
tion some of the other factors that enter into the
production of coal, namely : labor, transportation and
markets. In considering labor we find that there are
engaged in the industry in the United States approxi-
mately 750.000 men ; it is claimed that of these, about
600.000 are unionized, and about 150,000 are non-
union. In the beginning of the process of unionization
of mining labor the theory was held out by the mine
workers that collective bargaining by representatives
of the men's organizations and of the operators would
lead to the most scientific and orderly methods of
procedure in handling wage questions and mining

conditions under which men were to labor, and would
give to the industry a stability in dealing with various
disputes or controversies that arise between capital
and labor.

This principle was agreed to by the operators, and
as a result, the industry was almost wholly organized
throughout the couutry. This -condition has obtained
for approximately 25 years with collective bargaining
through representatives in the making of annual and
biennial contracts for each of the several coal min-
ing districts throughout the United States. The opera-
tors have never had cause to complain of the principle
of joint wage agreements or collective bargaining
when the obligations were honestly and fearlessly
carried out by both sides. The operator has not pur-
posely or willingly bargained away his moral and
legal rights of management, nor has he at any time
shirked the responsibility of protecting the public
and the industry from imposition in the demands that
have been made by the mine workers, but he has
honestly endeavored to conduct the industry along
the key to the entire problem, to wit, the "check-off
with other basic industries that must be so conducted
in order to thrive and succeed.

How the Unions Came Into Power

In view of this, you will, perhaps, ask how the
industry came so thoroughly under the domination
of the United Mine Workers' organization. To under-
stand this situation, oue must have an insight into-
the methods of organization, the negotiations and the
business contracts that exist between the coal opera-
tors and the United Mine Workers. This brings us to
the key to the entire problem, to wit : the "check-off
system."

In all contracts made with the United Mine Work-
ers appears a clause which provides that the employer
shall check off from the earnings of each employee
the amount of clues, fines and assessments levied
against him by the local union, and noted in an item-
ized list submitted to the employer each pay day.
This system not only involves a vast amount of extra
bookkeeping on the part of the employer, but makes
for 100 per cent organization at each mine, as every
employee going to work is required, as a condition of
employment, to sign a collective check-off order, au-
thorizing the employer to do this "checking off." This
order gives the transaction a phase of legality that
becomes difficult to oppose. As a result of this 100
per cent organization at each mine, the local union,
through its mine committee, becomes supreme in dic-
tating through motions, resolutions and orders issued
to its individual members as to customs of work, con-
ditions of employment, etc., and thus, takes from the
management the rightful duties and responsibilities
of the economic and intelligent management of the
properties. The magazine Industry published in
Washington, D. C, in May. under the heading, "The
Check-off" — the Economic Tragedy of the Coal In-
dustry," says :

"The United Mine Workers is the only organization
that ever adopted and carried on the "check-off." It
has raised about $11,000,000 a year, none of which is
spent for any purpose '0<f advancement of the miners,
or for their betterment, socially or physically. This
money is entirely devoted to the maintenance of strikes,
the conducting of warfare against non-union fields, the
purchase of arms and ammunition, and the payment

of the salaries and maintenance of the officials, or-
ganizers and walking delegates of the organization."

The Results of the "Check-off" System

We find from our own records that from 190S to
1921. inclusive (13 years) the mine workers in the
four States of Missouri, Kansas. Oklahoma aud
Arkansas collected $6,2SS,464.56. The record further
shows that in the beginning, when the "check-off"
was adopted under the benevolent guise of collecting
donations for illness, cases of accident and small
dues for local expenses, it amounted to an average
of a $.0004 per ton of production. It has since in-
creased, gradually but with persistent regularity, until
the average collection for 1921 in the same four
States was $.0913 per ton : an increase of 2043.18
per cent in 13 years. Such the machinery and the
vast resources and unlimited opportunities for sup-
porting the militant fighting machine that the Na-
tional organization has become. To show the burdeu
of this system on the individual, some of our com-
panies in Oklahoma reported that the individual
"check-off collected per month ranges from $12 to
$15 per man at certain mines. There is a rule that
unless the mine works so many days per pay period,
the "check-off" shall not be collected ; in one case
where, on account of breakdown, the mine had worked
within one day of that number up to the last day of
the pay period and the whistle blew, the men re-
sponded, but after reaching the mine and holding a
meeting, found that by working that day they would
make their "check-off" collectable, and that it would
amount to more than they would earn that day. They,
therefore, voted to go home until the next day, which
would be the beginning of a new pay period, thus
escaping the payment of the burdensome "check-off"
in that instance.

Out of this dominating power have grown up and
become established at each mine the many so-called
customs which the miner regards as a part of the
contract.

Some Unionized Mine Customs

It is a rule, generally enforced, that one man shall
not have two jobs, even though he has leisure time
to perform other than his own duties in and about
the mine. On the claim of discrimination because a
regular turn of employment is not always justifiable
on grounds of fitness or qualifications, vast sums of
compensation are claimed and payment enforced be-
cause other men are allowed to work out of their
turn under certain circumstances. The so-called eight
hour day in the industry, both for day men and
mines, is equivalent to from 6% to 7 hours' actual
work. These, and many other abuses obtain in the
industry because of the power of 100 per cent organi-
zation, enforced through the "check-off."

The mine committee of three at each mine is under
the direction of the local union and district officers.
The district officers are under the direction of a
National Executive Board and national officers;
hence, there is a complete system or network of or-
ganization from the local union to the national body.

The operators make persistent efforts to correct
the evils that creep in, but in each instance find them-
selves confronted with 100 per cent organization lo-
cally and 100 per cent support of the national organi-
zation, due to political exigencies and factions be-
tween the national officers. As a rule, it seems that
each officer, to be worthy of constituent support, must
be a little more radical and a little more aggressive
than his opponent. If final disagreements result tn
the making of biennial contracts over these abuses,
whether as to exorbitant wage scales, or abuses as to
customs and conditions that increase cost of produc-
tion, a strike ensues, with the support of the national
organization, and the "check-off" system is put in
force throughout the country to support those sec-
tions of the country on strike. Thus, it is no uncom-
mon occurrence for from one to two million dollars
to be expended in a strike campaign in any given
State that desires to try conclusions in escaping from
the unjust conditions imposed by the demands of the
miners.

Strikes, Their Cost and Value

So successful has become the power of organiza-
tion among the miners under the "check-off" system
(under which they rule their own membership with
an iron hand by means of fines and penalties for dis-
obedience; that the custom is to punish operators by
strikes and shutdowns for the most trivial causes.
Many times they punish themselves by loss of em-
ployment and wages, apparently for the mere pur-
pose of demonstrating the power of 100 per cent or-
ganization. As an illustration, in the State of Kan-
sas, known as District 14 of the mine workers, under
the domination of a district president run mad with
power, the record of mine strikes for the 69 months
ending Dec. 1921, shows 1S73 strikes and a loss of
1,609,041 man days, which, valued at the per diem
wage, amounts to a total wage loss of $10,552,757.

The gain in dollars and cent.-
strikes amounted to $852.53 !

An Important Triumvirate

Such the general view of the actual conditions in
the mining industry. As in all basic industries, three
factors make up its success or failure, to wit : Pro-
duction, transportation and consumption. These three
factors are essential to the most economic, intelligent
and satisfactory results. It goes without saying that
the greatest desire of the operator, after having in-
vested his capital in the business, is to work full time
in order to secure profitable returns, but if labor re-
fuses to work the other two factors — efficient trans-
portation and the consumer's desire to buy — are help-
less to remedy the condition. Or, if labor is willing
to produce and the consumer is willing to buy but
transportation is unable to furnish cars, then the first
two factors are helpless. Or, if labor is willing to
produce and transportation is equal to the emergency,
but the consumer is unwilling to buy, again the two
favorable factors are helpless.

Past experience has shown that the inability, from
various causes, of these three factors to coordinate
regularly, in a normal way throughout the year,
makes the coal industry seasonal; as in all seasonal
industries, there must necessarily be more capital
invested, more mines prepared for operation and more
men employed in the industry than are necessary to
meet the actual demand at any one time.
To illustrate: whereas the national requirement

per day additional, which, in due time, they were
forced to grant to prevent another nation wide strike.
This brought the day wage scale up to $7.50 for
eight hours' work at what is ordinarily considered
common labor in the mines and equivalent rates for
mining. During the last year and a half there have
been gradual but material readjustments in wages
in all the other basic- industries, but the United Mine
Workers have persistently refused to consider any
reduction of the war time peak wages and now,
after four years of peace, are insisting upon a re-
newal of the war time wages of $7.50 per day and
the war time equivalent on tonnage, day work, yard-
age— all scales covering the various branches of min-
ing. In addition, they have added a demand for a sis
hour day and a five day week which, you will note,
adds one-fourth of the cost to an eight hour day pro-
duction by reducing the output. It also adds one-
sixth to the weekly cost of overhead cost and main-
tenance for day and monthly men, as mining plants
must be maintained with a regular force of monthly
men and other overhead cost. It is needless to point
nut that these demands are not only untenable in
these days of readjustment, but are radical and al-
most criminal in a business and moral sense, when
enforced upon the nation by a nation wide strike.

Operators' Proposals Refused

The operators, as a compromise, offered the Nov.
1917. wage scale of $5 per day as an adjustment.
This is 68 per cent higher than the normal prewar

of bituminous coal is approximately 500,000,000 tons
per annum, the bituminous mines actually in opera-
tion have a maximum capacity of about 700,000,000
tons. The excess capital, labor and actual cars for
transportation are necessary in order to be ready to
supply the nation's fuel as it can when the miner
is willing to work, when coal cars can be had, and
when a whimsical coal consumer is ready to buy.
This condition necessarily augments the cost of pro-
duction very materially, but as the only successful
method of stocking coal yet devised to avoid de-
terioration, spontaneous combustion, extra cost of un-
loading and reloading, and the loss due to competition
with freshly mined coal is in the individual consum-
er's bins we must meet the coal situation as we actu-
ally find it from year to year. The consumer can do
more to solve the problems of stability of operations
and cost of production than any other factor by
purchasing coal at as nearly regular intervals the
year round as may be possible.

Peace Conditions But War Time Wages

At the present moment we are perhaps more in-
terested in the resumption of mining operations, af-
ter nearly five months of a nation-wide strike, than
in their details. During the war and since the min-
ers have demanded five different changes in their con-
tracts, which had previously been made for two year
periods. These changes were granted by the opera-
tors under the stress of increasing war time costs of
living, and to meet the nation's need for coal during
the crisis. Notwithstanding the fact that the war
ended in 1918, a nation wide strike in 1919 secured a
27 per cent wage increase which, also, was to last
for two years. But early in 1920 a wild cat demand
supported by the national officers was made for $1.50

scale of 1914, and 15 per cent higher than the cost
of living as compared with 1914, yet the miners refuse
to consider these propositions, or even to go into
conference with the operators in the several mining
districts. They demand first, that a wage scale bo
made jointly for the four States of Pennsylvania,
Ohio. Indiana and Illinois and this, too, without per-
mitting the operators from any of the other outlying
districts to have a voice in its making. This scale
the miners then propose to hand to all the other min-
ing districts in the United States as the scale under
which they must operate. You can readily under-
stand how unfair, how unjust and how unbusiness-
like this proceeding would be if supplied to any
other business. The operators of the various mining
districts since last March have been ready and will-
ing, and have pleaded with district and national offi-
cers for opportunity to negotiate agreements for each
of the several mining districts, such agreements to
be based upon the physical mining conditions in each
field.

As an illustration, in Illinois and some other States,
the level coal veins range from 6ft. to Sft.. 10ft. and
12ft. thick. A scale made for such a field would not
fit many of the veins, which pitch from 5 deg. to 20
deg. and which in the Southwest range from ISin. to
4ft. thick. Also the districts that are unionized find
it necessary to consider the competitive conditions
of surrounding, non-union, coal-producing States, with
which the cheaper produced coal comes in competi-
tion in the open market and which must be a factor
in fixing the cost of px'oduction.

The Cost of Governmental Control

In further support of the position of the operators
in trying to protect the interests of the public and

552

The Florists' Exchange

the best interests of the industry, attention is called
to the fact that during the war period the Govern-
ment found it necessary to assume control of the pro-
duction, distribution and prices of the coal industry —
the only basic industry so controlled in its entirety.
The five adjustments during the war already re-
ferred to amounted to an advance in wages, a bonus
above the regular, normal contract, aggregating $2,-
936.000.000. It was paid by the consumers of coal
and resulted from Government control. Other basie
industries are gradually but materially reducing
these war-inflated costs. Why should not the coal
industry do likewise?

In addition to the above bonuses, fixed largely
while the mines were under Government control, we
should also add the bonuses paid to raiload workers
while under the same control. Together, it is esti-
mated, these have caused an average advance in the
country's coal rates of one dollar per ton, or an addi-
tional cost to consumers for coal delivered at point
of consumption, of $2,225,000,000 or a total increased
cost of coal to the public from 1916 to April 1, 1922,
in excess of $5,000,000,000. The coal operators recog-
nize their responsibility in helping to bring about a
liquidation of this war time wage in order that in-
dustry of all kinds, which depends so largely on coal
for fuel, shall keep pace with a proper coordinated
readjustment. The question naturally arises how can
this be brought about with justice to labor, to capital,
to transportation and to the consuming public?

The coal operators of the country agree to accept
President Harding's proposal for the renewal of the
$7.50 wage scale until April 1, 1923, carrying with it
the appointment of a commission with full power to
make further readjustment prior to that date based
oh an examination of all facts that could be pre-
sented to them by both operators and miners dealing
with social, economic and industrial conditions in
the country. This proposal the miners refuse to
accept, preferring to use their so-called economic pow-
ers of 100 per cent strike in the entire nation to force
all other factors interested in the coal industry
(namely, invested capital, national transportation,
and the consuming public) to either surrender to
their unwarranted demands or take the consequences
of national stagnation of business, and, when Winter
comes, of ultimate suffering, damage and loss. In
other words, the miner assumes the attitude of the
bandit in the dark alley who says, "Stand and de-
liver, or take the consequences."

The Task and Duty of American Citizens

This, gentlemen, is the coal situation in America
today. Is it not time for the American citizenry that
believes in the protection of our American institutions
and the homes and welfare of the people, to rise in
their righteous wrath and compel, by whatever means
may be necessary, a fair, judicial and orderly proce-
dure in the investigation and determination of these
great economic and industrial problems? They can
be determined, honorably and without endangering
the vast interests of those innocent bystanders, the
public and the nation's business, who always become
the helpless victim, regardless of who wins in these
industrial controversies.

In conclusion, gentlemen, the coal industry invites
the cooperation of all good citizens who stand for
good government and orderly procedure. It invites
the closest investigation into the social, industrial
and economic conditions at the mines to determine
fair and reasonable rates of wages and working con-
ditions, and it insists upon the right of untranimeled
and unrestricted opportunity for economic and intelli-
gent operation of its property. We believe that the
interests of the American people are entitled to the
protection of an unrestricted fuel supply which can
be assured only by an intelligent understanding of,
and full cooperation between, all factors in the coal
industry.

Horticultural Society of New York

Gladiolus Show, New York, Aug. 19 and 20

OF blooms there were plenty and some of them
were of super excellent quality but from the
serried rows, one could not gain a real idea
of the effectiveness of Gladioli for decorative pur-
poses. Arranged in vases, three to a dozen spikes in
each, the flowers appear somewhat stiff and formal
when packed more or less close together. True, it is
the same with most other floral subjects when staged
competitively, and one is inclined to think that com-
petitors are apt to take the line of least resistance,
for as a rule the decorative classes are not keenly
contested and usually display classes owe their in-
terest to variety rather than effective staging. At the
Bronx Botanical Garden Show, only two entered for
the basket arrangement and neither was impressive.
For ourselves, we rather prefer to see in the big
classes, bold masses of a few good varieties rather
than a large number of sorts not all of which may be

of the highest class or quality. Classes which specify
not less than a certain number of varieties are apt to
leave exhibitors guessing; some may assume that
numbers count before everything, while others may
think it beyond their scope to stage the specified num-
ber and retain a chance of winning.

The Big Classes

The leading class, 150 sq. ft. specified not less than
25 varieties, and John Lewis Childs. Flowerfield,
N. Y. ; John Scheepers, Inc., Stamford. Conn. : and
H. M. Barrett's Sons, Heightstown, N. J., were placed
in the order given. Each staged a large and varied
collection, and it was no easy task to pick out out-
standing sorts from such an array which embraced
so many distinct forms. Considering the fact that
all the blooms had to be staged by 1 p.m. on Friday
and were not on view to the public until 10 p.m. on
Saturday, the flowers were in excellent condition. We
were specially impressed by 51. Pnchon. Panama,
Pride of Goshen, Princepine, Fire King and Albania
in the Childs collection, while Flora. Golden Measure,
Evelyn Kirtland, and Kitty Gruellmans were fine in
the Scheepers' exhibit. The New Jersey exhibit em-
braced Schwaben. F. Pendleton, Rose Ash, a weird
color this: Anna Eberius and Loveliness.

The collection of Primulinus varieties 50 sq. ft. at
least ten sorts was marked down by Maurice Fuld,
Inc., New York. Gold Drop, Argos, Salmon Beauty,
Golden State and Alice Tiplady were all good as
shown by them. C. Keur & Sons, Mosholu ave., N. Y.,
who were placed second, certainly did well to grow
such flowers inside the city limits. Vesta was a
good yellow, while Argonne and Orange Queen were
attractive. It is to be feared, however, that the
giant Kunderd Primulinus hybrids such as Alice Tip-
lady, Salmon Beauty, Myra, etc., rather overshadow
those sorts, which keep more closely to the true type.
John Scheepers, Inc., showed several of these as well

Lexington, Mass., showed Kunderd's Marshal Foch.
in great form, beating Frank Pendleton staged by
Mills & Co. J. L. Childs alone showed Baron Hulot
in the purple class, and the same exhibitor scored
with 12 Primulinus, the variety being Gold Drop.
This firm also led in the ruffled class, showing Pride
of Goshen, which was too strong for C. Keur & Son's
Diadem, a pretty blush. The three vase classes for
plain petaled sorts were fairly well divided up be-
tween J. L. Childs, C. Keur & Sons, and J. A. Kemp,
although the first named scored most firsts.

Two Fine White Seedlings

In the seedling classes, there were several sorts
of promise. George J. Joerg, New Hyde Park, N. Y.,
led with a giant white of the plain petaled type. A
remarkably fine expanded flower with only slight blue
markings. The same grower scored in the ruffled
classes, although we think the ruffles had been ironed
out. A rather dull rosy flower and small.

We certainly stared to see this same exhibitor
showing a pure white Primulinus seedling. Typical
of the type and only the faintest hint of lemon in
the throat. We would prefer to see the flowers placed
in front rather than at the side, however. Certainly
a remarkable break and right against all theories
regarding the Primulinus type which has always
shown yellow to a strong degree. A pink seedling
shown by H. M. Barrett's Sons left us wondering
where its Primulinus blood had receded to.

Special Exhibits

Among special exhibits. Geo. J. Joerg showed La
Couronne, a remarkably flue variety of the blotched
Lemoine type, the largest we have seen of this class.

Thos. Cogger, Melrose, Mass., had the largest ex-
hibit, embracing as it did nearly 100 varieties, staged
in tier fashion. Several seedlings were shown, in-
cluding Elizabeth R. Laible, nearly pure white ; of

This exhibit occupied an entire freight and was constantly surrounded by interested spectators

as Glorious, and Capella, the latter a pleasing rosy
red. There was little to choose between these three
exhibits, although the awards went in the order
named.

Single Vase Classes

The color classes calling for twelve spikes were all
fairly keenly contested. J. L. Childs scored with
crimson, showing War and 12 white, showing Peace.
The latter was not so pure as Albania shown by J. A.
Kemp, Little Silver, N. J., but it had the size. J. L.
Childs also scored with red showing a splendid va-
riety labeled Rich Red, which rather overshadowed
Pride of Hillegom, shown by Mills & Co., Mamaro-
neck, N. Y.

With pink, Mills & Co., showing Pink Perfection,
beat John Scheepers, Inc., who showed Evelyn Kirt-
land.

The class for 12 yellow was somewhat of a fiasco,
for two or three exhibitors were disqualified for ex-
ceeding the number or not having sufficient, with the
result that wonderful spikes of Golden Measure and
Flora were passed over in favor of the small Golden
Rod shown by J. L. Childs. J. A. Kemp gained sec-
ond with Flora, but it was an inferior vase to the one
passed over.

With blue or lavender, John Scheepers showing
Muriel, a pretty blue, beat Allah, a light lavender
staged by C. Keur & Sons.

In the any other color class, Chas. F. Fairbank,
great substance, some of the flowers shown did serv-
ice at Boston a week earlier. Another seedling, cherry
red, was named Mrs. Geo. V. Nash. Of the main col-
lection we specially noted American Beauty, remark-
able not for its size, but for the number of blooms
open at one time; Schwaben, Europa, Dr. Norton,
beat John Scheepers, Inc., who showed Evelyn Kirkland.

The Wayside Gardens, Mentor, O., staged some four
dozen vases in excellent shape including Kitty
Gruellmans and Mrs. Gruellmans.

J. A. Kemp showed about 50 vases, including some
seedlings ; America was in good form. A few Dahlias
were also shown.

Walter H. Rice, Rumson, N. J., showed Alice Tip-
lady, Herada, Le Marechal Foch, and others among
some three dozen sorts.

Gladioli and Dahlias were very well shown by
E. M. Sanford, Madison, N. J. Dahlias, too, were
shown by The Dahlia Farm, East Moriches, N. Y.,
while Mills & Co., featured quite a large collection
of up-to-date sorts including their own giant novelty..
Miss Myra Valentine. J. L. Childs showed a few flow-
ers of their new Sunkiss Dahlia also.

G. L. Eherle, Richfield, N. J., alone staged hardy
Delphiniums, Phlox and Montbretias. For the period
the first named were very good.

So far as we could see, amateur competitors were
totally absent.

THE annual exhibition and convention of the
American Gladiolus Society proved to be one of
the most successful iu the history of the society ;
the officials and exhibitors alike being agreed on this.
A fine display was made and much interest taken in
the affair by the local population who crowded the
show from the opening. Notebooks were in the hands
of many and earnest discussions with the larger ex-
hibitors were general, which presages good business
later on. In this regard I am told already many nice
orders are booked.

The judges had some work in making their deci-
sions for the major prizes, as the exhibits of all are
worthy and the competition keen, especially after th?
capital was awarded. The officials and exhibitors
alike, worked hard for the success of the show and
deserve special mention for their kindness and cour-
tesy in giving helpful information to those desiring
it and at this time. I desire to return thanks for the
cheerful assistance rendered at all times, for not
being a grower or dealer in this flower, I had to get a
lot of information one time or another.

The society embraces a fine bunch of people who
asked no favors and sold no concessions; they made
a fine and interesting display and invited the general
public to enjoy it free (a liberality greatly appre-
ciated) and, finally, donated the exhibits to the hos-
pitals. If this is not "Saying it with Flowers," you
tell.

The Knights of Pythias Hall, where the show was
held, is well adapted for the purpose and, being cen-
trally located on Main St.. near the business center,
is easily accessible. The business meetings were held
in the building, there being plenty of rooms available
for all purposes.

The Primulinus varieties were well represented and
many seedlings were exhibited, Kunderd's and
Yaughan's exhibits being especially strong on these
lines. The general public seems to like something
different, but the trade want good stems with a spike
that opens up before the lower one's drop and, with
what one might call solid colors.

On the whole, pink is the favorite color with the
retailer, followed by white.

There were some especially fine whites shown, all
the big growers having one or more good ones.
Many new ones were of great merit but, after all,
some of the old standbys are hard to beat from a com-

mercial standpoint. A local retailer remarks it is
much easier to make sales from a bunch of a 100 or
more blooms than from a vase containing only a
dozen or so, and also when there is a crowd in the
store all buying, that is the easiest time to make the
sales. Let me say here that exhibitors generally
appreciate the value of the free advertising from
the reporters of trade journals, and they are usually
pleased to give information and make the reporter
feel welcome. But there are a few who dole out in-
formation with the air of conferring a favor. I won-
der why they come to a show? And they don't all
come from small or inexperienced concerns either.

It was rather hot the week of the show ; in fact
the hottest week of the season, about 92 to 95 and
dry too ; no rain for nearly a month.

Credit Due to Local Helpers

There were 12,000 or more blooms on exhibition
so that there were plenty to select from. I expect
plantings of Gladiolus will greatly increase next sea-
son. After all, Michigan and nearby Indiana points
supply a large proportion of the bulbs grown, so that
Kalamazoo is a central location for the show.

The Club of Little Gardens is entitled to all the
credit for bringing the convention here, although the
local trade helped when things began to move. Presi-
dent Hinkle and Secretary Tyndall were on hand
early in the week and worked hard to make it the
success it was, and they had good, loyal support. The
local press gave many good notices and kept the pub-
lic well informed.

The auto ride to Brook Farm on Thursday morn-
ing was an enjoyable event for the many delegates
who went. The intense heat of the second day, doubt-
less, kept many visitors from attending the show, 96
deg. in the shade was officially recorded. Upward of
40 new members were added to the society during
the show ; this made Secretary Tyndall feel good.
Kalamazoo goes on record as being a good convention
city and gave the officials a happy surprise for effi-
ciency and active cooperation. President and secre-
' tary return due thanks and went back home feeling
good. As already stated, it was conceded to be the

society.

No Change of Officers

The only alteration made in the list of officers for
the ensuing year, substitutes Dr. Irving Moody of
Brockton, Mass., in the place of H. E. Meader of
Dover. N. H. _ .

Next year's meeting place has not yet been decided
on. Several invitations, however, have been made.

Some Leading Trade Exhibits

National Bulb Farms, Benton Harbor, Mich., repre-
sented by A. G. Pruyser and A. M. Grootendorst, made
a most interesting display, showing off their exhibit
greatly by interspersing small ferns and flowers, no-

table among which was Platycodon blue and white.
To mention a few conspicuous Gladioli and recom-
mended as good commercial varieties I would name :
Rose Pearl, shell pink; Martha, creamy white: Odin,
salmon; Flora, yellow; Wfliite City, good white. This
exhibit won the Rotarians" silver cup for the best dis-
play by commercial growers. P. Vos & Son. Grand
Rapids, Mich., made a fine show, the admirable stag-
ing causing much favorable comment. These gentle-
men have been in the bulb business for 17 years and
next year will plant 35 acres to Gladioli and five to
Dahlias. They expressed great satisfaction with the
Kalamazoo show, conceding it to be the best to date.
They expect to market five million bulbs this Fall!
Some of their leaders are: Maine, white seedling;
Wilbrink, light pink; Chateau Thierrv. Roem van
Kennenerland, a pink shaded to yellow at throat
caused many amateurs and professional growers to
stop and make a note of it. This exhibit won the
president's cup, quality as well as variety being con-
sidered in judging.

A. E. Kunderd, of Goshen, Ind.. exhibited in all,
32S varieties, including 100 seedlings new this sea-
son. Among the most meritorious were : Doctor J. H.
Neely. blush white cream throat: Lilac Glory; Para-
mount; Arlon, a fine orange: Altair, saffron: Mary
Pickford. white; Romance, salmon rose with blue bor-
der; Anthony B. Kunderd, cream blush pink with
crimson throat; Fern Kyle, white, tinted light ca-
nary ; and Rose Glory, a rose colored variety with
beautiful markings and pronounced by several local
florists, one of the best exhibited. Mr! Kunderd won
the silver medal for best seedling in the show, No.
732, fine solid pink with cream throat; the silver
medal for the largest display of Gladioli, 208 varieties
and the silver medal for the best display of Primu-
linus varieties.

Vaughan's Seed Store, Chicago, staged a very high
class exhibit, and included many seedlings of great
merit. The exhibit always had it's group of admirers.
An evenness of standard was so well maintained, it
was hard to pick favorites from this exhibit. However,
the local growers picked out a few which included
\aughan's White; Detroit, a large pink: Martha
Washington, red with dark throat, and two seedlings,
a lavender with yellow throat, and a pink. Both of
these will be placed on the market this Fall. Another
fine seedling was of royal purple color, which I imag-
ine will be a winner when placed on the market. It
took my eye as being nearly or quite the most taking
thing in the show. This exhibit was not staged for
competition.

M. C. Wright, Sturgis, Mich., made a most unique
display consisting of a table filled solely of Louise,
a mauve with fine shading. This table showed up
finely and demonstrated the effectiveness of the deco-
rative value of the variety. It was not entered for
competition.

Van Bochove's made up a nice table for display,
consisting of plants and Gladiolus not competitive:
William Thomas exhibited made up work in the com-
petitive classes, getting first prize for bouquet and
first prize for basket.

The society's highest award, first-class certificate
went to Illuminator, exhibited by C. R. Hinkle, St.
Joseph, Mich. It is brilliant crimson scarlet of good
habit and keeping qualities.

The Oldest Flower Pot Factory

A. H. HEWS £? CO. Inc., Cambridge, Mass.

Romance can even be written around the flower pot industry. Presumably history does not record
who first planted flowers in pots nor who made the first regular flower pot. Doubtless the
forerunner of present day pots came with the advent of the first greenhouse, and it is not
a little remarkable that the flower pots of today vary in no essential way from those of
earliest days. Like the originator of the violin, the inventor of the flower pot left no
room for improving the design.

NOT until one has followed up the making of a
flower pot from the time the clay is taken from
the pit, to the time that the finished article is
loaded on the railroad car or on the delivery truck,
can one have the least idea of the manifold opera-
tions involved in the making of the same.

A visit to the pot factory of A. H. Hews & Co., Inc.,
at 187-209 Riehdale ave., Cambridge, Mass., is a
revelation, interesting and instructive. Not only is
this the largest pot manufacturing concern in the
world, but it is probably also the oldest. The busi-
ness of making flower pots has been with the Hews
family for four generations, without a break since the
yearl7Sj5, when it was founded at Weston, Mass. On
the Sy4eaf of the journal of the founder of the busi-
ness, is written : "Abraham Hew's book. Weston."
The first entry was made on the day of the battle of
Lexington and reads :

From 1788 to 1810, a period of 21 years, there is a
continuous account ; the charges during that entire
term cover about as many pages, or less, than are

now often used in a day and the amount, in dollars
and cents, does not nearly compare with single sales
at the present time. Through all the years, up to
1807, the term "flower pot" does not once appear and
it is regrettable that, the first sale of flower pots and
the name of the purchaser cannot be found.

No Civil War Slump

Readers who can remember the year 1861, will re-
call the depressed condition of business after war was
actually declared. The members of the Hews firm
felt sure that there would be no demand for flower
pots, they being more of a luxury than a necessity
and that the factory must close. At that time the
grandson of the founder of the firm succeeded in get-
ting permision to make his first venture as salesman
"on the road" and going to C. M. Hovey, secured the
first order at once. This was an order for 10,000 or
more pots for the Spring trade of 1862 and was con-
sidered a good order for those days. Not once after
that, during the Civil War, was the firm able, during
the Spring and Fall rush, to fill all their orders for
'flower pots. These orders were not remarkably large,
but they were beyond the firm's capacity.

At about the year 1S66 prices were about a third or
a half higher than they are today, although the rela-
tive excellence of the goods was lower than today's
standard. In 1869 the firm got fairly under way for
making small flower pots with machinery. The head
of the firm, at that -time, was always disposed to be a
little cautious, thinking that the country would be
overstocked and the price ruined. In that year, the

Exhibits and Exhibitors

Exhibitors unanimously expressed satis-
faction and pleasure over their participa-
tion in the 3sth convention and its-delight-
ful events. Actual sales were small, the
smallest of any recent exhibitions said
some; larger than at any recent conven-
tions except two, said some. But the ac-
tual sales were not considered the sole
criterion of the success attained. The
meeting of new customers, the contact
with florists who had not seen the lines,
the opportunity to demonstrate the goods
visibly, were all important factors in the
satisfaction of exhibitors.

The S. S. Pennock Co., for instance, ex-
perienced especial pleasure in the appre-
ciation of the display of ribbons of tints
for specific uses. It did not emphasize
novelties, but rather staple goods; it was
not concerned with attracting temporary
attention, but took pleasure in showing
merchandise to people not previously
known, and to old friends.

The Steeleraft Co. had especially good
experience. While not making many sales,
it secured a jobber for the line; a large
local department store made a contract,
and the trade members present were cer-
tainly interested.
, All exhibitors appreciated the condi-
tions that hampered the attendance. It
was generally declared that had the strike
not interfered, the attendance would have
exceeded 1500, and the buying would have
been extremely large. As it was, the
registration was said to be larger than
at Washington last year.

The visitors who placed orders gave
small ones, and were not eager to buy in
most cases. Even though many had post-

poned buying until the convention, they
did not purchase as much as they usually
do at this season. Many visitors are said
to have indicated that a decision as to
volume of their purchases could not be
made until strike conditions were settled.
Their communities are in many cases seri-
ously affected by the labor situation. One
visitor remarked to an exhibitor that
having' sent out bills for $1800 of accounts,
$200 came back by mail, and he then went
out and personally collected $300 more.

The exhibitors who were most pleased
were those who had merchandise to dis-
play which could not be carried to the
usual centers of their selling trips. The
Burlington Willow Ware Co. was one of
these. While most florists present were
familiar with the company's merchandise,
and while the travelers show practically
all styles on their trips, the larger sizes
are not usually seen, and their grace and
beauty must be seen to be fully appreci-
ated. This company also profited from
the fact that it had an animated feature
in its display. There was always a crowd
around the young man from the shops who
was making baskets, which were given
away to visitors as souvenirs.

The exhibit of Roy F. Wilcox & Co.,
Montebello, Calif., undoubtedly attracted
more interest than anything else in the
display room. It was, in fact, the central
feature, both because of the quality of the
plants shown and because their character
gave them prominence in the picture
made by the plants and supplies arranged
in the hall. Sincere gratitude was ex-
pressed by florists for the presence of this
exhibit, brought such a distance — an en-
tire carload of palms and Boxwood and
Heather. The Buxus japonicus was five
to seven years old and the palms were
about 20 years old. Mr. Wilcox has
large numbers of the Boxwood coming on
at his place, and about 400,000 young
Kentia Forsteriana. The Heather is
grown by him in pots to the sizes shown at
the convention, chiefly for the bloom,
which is shipped all over the country.
There were many comments on the de-
lightful representation of California; yet
it was all by two men, Roy F. Wilcox and
E. W. McLellan.

A new seedling Gladiolus, No. 106, dis-
played by Vaughan's Seed Store, aroused
much interest because of its rounded, com-
pact bloom and its coloring. An attrac-
tive element in the Vaughan display was
the neat and carefully colored cards bear-
ing names and varieties which marked the
trays of bulbs.

The American Greenhouse Co. had two
displays in one, cleverly getting the ac-
tual effect of two spaces. There was a
small conservatory containing stands of
growing plants and a central large palm,
and over this house a larger one. The
ends of the larger house, extending be-
yond the smaller house, were used, one for
a salesroom and the other as a reception
room, with comfortable chairs for women,
and a desk at which sat a handsome
stenographer, whose services were avail-
able for visitors. Free telephone and
telegraph service were also provided. In-
cidentally, the young lady passed out small
vanity boxes to feminine callers.

Lord & Burnham had, in fact, two dis-
plays in Kansas City last week. One was

S. A. F. and O. H. Convention, Convention Hall, Kansas City, Mo.,
August IS to 17, 1922

The American Bulb Co. (Chicago) display of Dutch, French, Japanese and American grown

bulbs, together with a special line of Japanese and European novelties for florists, as also

cut blooms of Gladioli

their handsome booth at the show, with
its tastily decorated and well furnished
lounging room and its uptodate green-
house, and the second was the conserva-
tory recently erected for A. F. Barbe on
East 15th st. Many florists went out to
the Barbe place to view it.

Visitors stopped to note with satisfac-
tion the new device for filling glazing
guns, shown by the Nebel,' Mfg. Co. of
Cleveland, Ohio. E. A. Nebel of the firm
was in charge and demonstrated the man-
ner in which the suction faucet operated
from the tank.

The novelty of two features of the
Manda exhibit deserves special mention.
One feature was the unusual and appeal-
ing colors of the plants shown, the iri-
descence of some and the charming tints
of others. The other, with a very practi-
cal appeal for florists seeking plants for
the careless customer, was the Dracaena
Rothina, which goes two weeks or more
without watering, preserving its fresh
colored foliage under such conditions.

The handsome new Royal double Pe-
tunias, originated by Mr. Isherwood, at
Chillicothe, Mo., and by him turned over
to the Pinehurst Nurseries, of which he
is now exercising supervision, attracted
attention because of their color and
strength. They seemed to the trade a
welcome bedding item.

The Crotons of Robert Craig were sure
of comment, and the usual remark was
that he is the man who can give them the
color.

J. K. Rugowski of Manitowoc, Wis.,
showed a variety of Asters that he has
developed and which he says grows with-

pins and accessories

double foliage — just twice as many leaves
in the same length of stem as the usual
Aster has. The foliage grows also well up
to the flower.

Black inlaid Bohemian glassware, the
"brand new" item shown by the A. L:
Randall Co. of Chicago, not only attracted
attention and admiration, but evidently
gave many visitors a good idea, for many
assortments were sold. The self contained,
illuminated fountains, while on the mar-
ket for some time, also appealed to many
visitors who perhaps were for the first
time able to really grasp their full beauty,
and several of these were sold also. The
mechanical singing canaries had an obvious
use for high class cafes, flower shops and
similar places, as well as for private
homes, and while the immediate sales of
these were small, the interest aroused
promised a demand in the future.

More time was spent, perhaps, by grow-
es and retailers at the Manda exhibit
than at any other. Not a grower but took
time to study this exhibit carefully, and
to seek help on identification of at least
one of the plants in the remarkable dis-
play. It was interesting to learn that the
plant that sold most freely was the flow-
ering Solanum, the Echeveria, of which
15 varieties were shown, being second in
sales. The Crested Ivy, developed from
a sport first found by Mr. Manda ten years
ago, and distributed the past two years,
aroused keen interest; it is grown in fancy
form on occasion, and pots with the Ivy
trained over the letters "W. A. Manda"
decorated the booth. A new Dracaena,
"Longi," with shiny foliage of deep rich
green, longitudinally marked with white,
was a feature. Mr. Manda's nephew Al-
bert was with the grower accompanying the
exhibit.

A paper box maker, pointing to his
samples of florists' boxes, remarked that
more and more of the trade are having
trade mark names or designs made for
use on stationery and flower boxes. His
display constituted a splendid demonstra-
tion by comparison with the greater effec-
tiveness of the drawn name design of over
the simple printed style. Some boxes
bearing' monograms in colors were espe-
cially effective. The St. Joseph Paper
Box Co., which showed boxes largely of
florists in the West, pointed out to ob-
servers that while the original cost of a
design might seem large, it was, after all,
small compared with its long and varied
use on many kinds of printing, and its
effectiveness.

The display of the new adjustable flower
pot stand, requiring no thumb screw, the
staff of the standard being channeled for
the engagement of the ratchet, had be-
hind it a little human interest story.
Louis J. Warshauer, with the exhibit, a
bachelor, and his sister, Mrs. Selina Ham-
burger, a widow, had operated a furnish-
ing goods store in New York for 20 years
and experienced the need for an adjustable
display stand for their window decora-
tions. Mrs. Hamburger studied the prob-
lem, and invented the stand, which the
brother and sister, having sold their store,
are now manufacturing and distributing
from offices at 519 Ninth st., Brooklyn,
N. Y.

Snap Shots

As of yore, the annual S. A. F. and O.
H. Convention was a success. A goodly
number of the veterans were on hand to
initiate the cadets.

If strike conditions had not prevailed the
large attendance would have been greatly aug-
mented.

President Pennock was a model presiding
officer. His knowledge of parliamentary rul-
ing, and his easy and graceful methods of ap-
plying the bratces, when necessary, kept the
convention going at a quick step pace.

Among the novelties was a suave French
Dutchman, who had the advantage of ordinary
mortals, by talking to the French waiters at
the hotel in their own lingo.

Daddy Hill and Joe Manda shied their
hats in the ring, with Wallace Pierson and
Peterson of Chicago as sponge holders. The
referee counted both out.

The delegate, who, while on his way to
the convention, started out to walk four short
blocks has developed into a pedestrian.

President-elect Bertermann is made of the
stuff that will further the interests of the
florists. In other words, "The right man in
the right place."

And just here it is proper to say, that Poll-
worth's speech, making the election unanimous,
was graceful and endeared him not only to
his friends, but to the whole audience.

Among the silver tongued orators present
were Philip Breitmeyer, J. F. Ammann, J. C.
Vaughan, Joseph Kohout and Fulmer of Iowa.
Henderson of Omaha, genial as of yore, was
present, having but recently partially recov-
ered from a severe illness. If the wishes of
his many friends prevail, his further recovery
will be speedy.

John Young will manage the S. A. F. and
O. H. for the ensuing year with John Young
efficiency.

Texas was forcefully represented by Kerr,
Lang and Hannah.

A. S. Gray of Chickasha, Oklahoma, a
former resident of Philadelphia, can tell some
interesting tales of pre-Civil war florists, of
wdiom Halliday and Dick were representa-
tive. If Mr. Gray would write some reminis-
ences, they would be mighty interesting read-
ing.

The two Dromio Johns are still contesting
for the greatest number of consecutive at-
tendances at S. A. F. and O. H. conventions.
Both have 36 attendances to their credit.
Arriving delegates came in with tales of
' woe, concerning from one to six hours' de-
lay on stalled trains, but like good florists, they
buried past troubles and prospective woes
and proceeded to enjoy themselves, ad infi-
nitum.

Samuel Murray at home was as genial as
the Samuel Murray whom we have met
abroad, and W. L. Rock ditto. Those who
visited their stores had a revelation in win-
dow decoration.

The most thoroughly patronized spot in
convention hall was the sanitary fountain.

From the windows of some of the dele-
gates in their Muehlebach quarters, this part
of the word hotel was visible in the distance.
HOT' And there was a hot time in the old
town both dav and night— 93 in the shade, the
minimum, and 97 the maximum.

J F. Ammann did a very neat and popular
thine, when, in a nice speech, he, declined to
run for secretary of the S. A. F. and O. H.

The exhibits were large, fine and covered
a wide range, from real flowers to artificial,
with all accessories.

The exhibit of Roy Wilcox of California,
largely of Boxwood, shows that at least one
article of importation has been eliminated.

There was a large attendance at the Ladies
S. A. F. and Miss Gunterberg's address as
president was a poetic epic, well received by
her audience.

Nearly all of the mothers, stepmothers,
mothers-in-law and various other incidental
mothers were present at the Ladies meeting.
Popular Mrs. Pollworth won the presidency
of the Ladies S. A. F., Miss Perle Fumer
holds the key to the money chest, and Mrs.
Abert M. Herr is the scribe.

W. H. Culp was the election boss, a worthy
successor to his predecessors.

J. C. Vaughan has been asked to consider
the proposition of offering a peck of coal
as a bonus when a customer purchases a
thousand Paperwhites.

The afternoon drive through the park resi-
dence section of Kansas City was a revela-
tion. Those who admire natural beauty were
of the opinion that everybody who lives in
that town must be a millionaire, including the
florists.

J. C. Steinhauser, at the Florists Hail Asso-
ciation meeting, related his experience with
reciprocal insurance, which looked upon, from
a pocketbook standpoint,, might be considered
heart rending.

The Florists Hail Association held an in-
teresting meeting. All the old officers were re-
elected. With a reserve fund of $60,000, they
believe they can inspire the already confident
members of their association.

Hereafter the secretary of the S. A. F. and
O. H. will be appointed by the Board of Di-
rectors of that body.

All the by-law amendments were adopted,
both in the S. A. F. and O. H. and the Flo-
rists Hail Association.

Yes, it was hot in Kansas City, and we
wanted to know how hot. Searched diligently
for a thermometer during the three days the
convention was in session, and at last we found
one, but, alas, it was broken. Those Kansas
Citians are wise to keep thermometers out of
the sight of visitors during a heated spell such
as greeted the S. A. F. delegates.

The specially conducted New York delega-
tion, about twenty strong, left Kansas City on
Friday afternoon, making their trip home-
ward by way of the Great Lakes, with starting
point at Duluth, Minn.

The Santa Fe train leaving Kansas City for
Chicago at 6 p.m. Friday was given over in-
great part to conventionists returning to Chi-
cago and New York, among them Secretary
Tohn Young, W. A. Manda, Jos. Manda, Al-
bert Manda. Max Schling, Edw. Sceery, Chas.
Forman, Robt. Craig, Robt. A. Craig, Samuel
Freund, Jos. Marks, Irving Stein. A. Hansen,
Chas. Niemann, C. Vanderberggen, A. T. De
La Mare, Prof. C. L. Thayer and Miss Cora.
M. Fichtl.

The convention and exhibition were not dis-
tinguished as "buying" events though exhibit-
ors expressed themselves as very well satis-
fied with the results. The buying started very
early however, on the Monday before the
doors were formally opened, visitors early on.
the scene being observed placing orders with
exhibitors, especially with those showing;
plants.

The remarkable bloom of Nymphaea, Mrs.
G H Pring, from the Missouri Botanical Gar-
dens, exhibited in the lobby, aroused deep in-
terest among growers and retailers, because
of its size and beauty. The parentage of this
development of the tender Water Lily by O.
H Pring was given on an accompanying card,
as Mrs Edward Whitaker, a lavender blue,
and the white, blue tipped, N. ovalifolia. The
new Lily is albino. Florists considered it a.
valuable addition to their products.

Wm. Dethlefs, a grower and retailer of
Mitchell, S. D., was so eager to make sure ot
attending the convention that he traveled over-
land by Ford with his wife and little boy. The
trip took them three and one-half days.

Take note, florists and supply men, of a.
future array of growers and retailers, that wilt
be coming out of Peoria, in., or making he
business big there! Attention is called to the
Loveridge family of that city. C. Lovendge
grower and retailer, drove to Kansas City with.
his daughter, Charlotte, who was formerly in
the store, and sons, Arthur 19, Harold, 16,
and Frank, 14. Sons Charles and William
stayed at home, the former with the store and
the latter in charge of the greenhouses. Daugh-
ter Florence is taking her vacation in Cali-
fornia, and Daughter Alice, who is still UT-
school, had planned her trip to the North
for this Summer.

"Bob" Fields, Kansas florist and chairman,
of the automobile committee for the conven-
tion was taken ill Monday, his doctor order-
ing him to bed because of his fever and in-
dications of bronchial pneumonia. Ed. Barnes
was handed the task of handling the motor
cars and accomplished the job with much suc-
cess as the delegates know, everything going
with marvelous smoothness. Mr. Fields was
able to visit the convention during the last
day.

The "Kansas bunch," which enlivened the
conventions of that State's association ami-
helped it grow, contributed materially to the
entertainment of the national meeting. Ije
yell about "the greatest association in the
U S. A." rang through the exhibition hall
Tuesday, when the Kansans paraded ana
pulled some of their stunts. Artistic contri-
butions were provided by Mrs. C. E. Hubbard,
Topeka florist, Miss Mildred Drebing of the
Hubbard store and Miss Mildred Bolmger,
daughter of another Topeka florist, in a play-

let and dance, "Grandmother's Birthday," and
in a solo dance by Miss Bolinger. Flowers
strewn on the floor, and Roses scattered as
she danced, gave a beautiful effect. Mr. and
Mrs. Alfred Humfeld, also of Kansas, sang
Schubert's Serenade, accompanied by Miss
Bolinger. Florists of the continent had suf-
ficient reason to' be proud of the talent in
the profession expressed in music as in floral
work, from these examples; but their pride
reached the high note when Mrs. Beaman,
daughter of Mrs. T. A. Moseley, the Kansas
City (Kan. J florist, sang. Such singing is
seldom heard on the professional platform.
Mrs. Beaman is not only a professional singer,
but also a skillful decorator and a lover of
flowers.

The tea at the Meadow Lake Country Club
on Thursday afternoon, provided the ladies
with a delightful ride through the Country Club
district, a charming scenic environment for a
luncheon, and an entertainment that was ar-
tistic in a high degree, with harp music of
marvelous beauty. Many of the ladies stopped
at the Chandler store, at the entrance to the
district, on the return to the city. Mrs.
Moseley, chairman of the Kansas City Florists
Club Committee on entertainment of the ladies,
presided gracefully at the luncheon.

Charles Pommert, who some 40 years ago,
established the business at Amelia, Ohio, now
known as the Glen Mary Fish Farm, retired
in 1916, turning the business over to his son,
John. But the elder Pommert likes to at-
tend the S. A. F. and O. H. conventions and
to show his Gladioli there. He bruught ex-
amples of "Purity,' which was put on the
market a year ago, and of which a million
or so will be available this season. "I'm
just loafing and fishing," said Mr. Pommert —
implying a distinction between the two occu-
pations.

Miss Ruth Barnes, daughter of W. J. Barnes
florist, was one of the busiest young women of
Kansas City during the convention and on the
Friday following. She is a splendid driver,
and her services were in constant requisition.

The decorations of the Muehlebach ballroom
for the president's reception aroused general
admiration. In the center was a large foun-
tain, around which was built, on wire, a
screen of Arborvitse and Laurel, touched with
Roses, Asters and Cockscomb. Plumes of pre-
pared Uva-grass, a South American species of
Gynerium, festooned the center of the ceil-
ing, and over the arches of the windows and
doors were Smilax and artificial Wistaria.

The. decoration of the downtown streets was
especially well done. All poles bore artistic
crowns of Oak leaves, Areca palm, Canadian
Cedar, homegrown Asparagus and Cat Tails,
and from each bouquet hung two streamers of
varying colors on which was stenciled "Say
it with Flowers."

John Elzinga, bulb grower of Benton Har-
bor, Michigan, motored with Mrs. Elzinga to
the convention, driving an average of 250 miles
a day.

M. Wagner, inventor of an adjustable stand,
demonstrated it in the McCallum booth, this
company distributing the product. The Jun-
ior McCallum Universal is a new one this
year.

A party that drove from Chicago in two
motor cars included George Ball, Sweet Pea
grower; Frank Schramm and Chas. McCauley,
Rose growers, Guy French of the American
Bulb Co. and their wives. They had planned
to stay at hotels overnight, but at Washington,
la., they found the hotels filled with Chau-
tauqua and road show people, and had to
sleep by the roadside, Henshaw-Pierson fash-
ion.

Mention should be made and commendation
given to the young women who handled the
registration on behalf of the K. C. Chamber of
Commerce. This was just another instance of
the attention given to conventions by the Con-
vention Bureau of that city, every detail
which the Chamber could possibly care for be-
ing taken over and very efficiently performed.

Grover C May, of the York Floral Co., York,
Neb., brought his family, consisting of Mrs.
May, Helen, 13; Howard, 8, and Robert, 6, by
motor car. This was the first attendance of any
of them at a national convention, though Mrs.
May attended the Max Schling school the
past Summer. Andrew Irwin, formerly grow-
er for Mr. May, now at Albuquerque, N. M.,
accompanied them back to Troy.

Pres. Flindt of the Kansas State Florists
Association, Sec'y Lloyd C. Bunch, plants-
man of Fredonia; C. E. Hubbard— and indeed
most of the Kansas crowd — were much in evi-
dence at the convention. W. H. Culp, retir-
ing president, was a faithful attendant on the
sessions.

George Rye, "Some Florist" of Ft. Smith,
Ark., came from the Eagles' convention at
St. Paul to the Kansas City meeting; E. L.
O'Neel and Fred Brockman, with his wife
and daughter, came by motor from Ft. Smith,
where they are associated with Mr. Rye. The
latter took four gross of the Ft., Smith minia-
ture scissors to St. Paul as souvenirs and he
got rid of all of them there, so he brought only
a few to Kansas City as examples of one of
the famous Ft. Smith products. They are all
great boosters for Ft. Smith. A young Rye
is coming along to take on the business some
day, and to be the "Some Florist," but he
has not yet begun attending conventions.

J. K. Botkin, grower and retailer of Ur-
bana, O., drove through by motor car with his
daughter, Miss Ethel, who directs both the
buying and the selling at the store, and his
sons, Maurice, 19, and Theodore, 16, also in
the business. They had one thrilling experi-

ence on the drive when crossing a river on a
ferry. In midstream the car began to roll
backward, when it was noted that the rear
wheels had not been blocked! The car slow-
ly rolled to the railing of the boat and then,
while the owner anxiously watched it — stuck
there. The Chevrolet was saved.

Alpha* Elberfield not only had a lovely store
for the visitors to observe, but the signs he
had prepared for the canopy and window were
full of a spirit of welcome. Above the store
was a large sign, "Society of American Flo-
rists, 1922 Convention, Welcome to our City,"
while in his window was a placard nicely let-
tered, "This is a good old World after all —
Send Some Flowers."

Many visiting florists demonstrated that they
go to conventions prepared to get practical
immediate advantage from them. They had
taken the trouble to prepare lists of things they
needed for which they placed orders with
exhibitors. This foresight was particularly
useful with respect to boxes; for example, the
visitors who had brought lists of sizes with
them, were able to place orders from the
many samples shown, more satisfactorily than
from the smaller lines of samples which trav-
elers carry.

Wholesalers and supply houses here had
scores of visitors during the convention days,
and on the Friday after. Glenn Parker, sec-
retary of the Stuppy Supply Co., had a car
in service that made trips every ten minutes
to "town" and to the Stuppy headquarters.
The Kansas City Cut Flower Co., where the
Ayres products were found; H. Kusik & Co.,
where the John Stevens Roses have been com-
ing for two weeks," and the T. J. Noll Co.,
where the Long greenhouse products were
seen, were crowded with visitors. -

The retail florist establishments also had
many visitors, all interested in particular fea-
tures of these stores. The most striking dis-
covery, it is reported, was at the Samuel Mur-
ray store where, after viewing the marvelous-
ly effective basket of Marigolds and the hand-
some Grapes in the window, and the store, so
beautiful architecturally as well as in floral dis-
play, the visitors found an intensely practical
merchandising idea. This was the price tag, a
metal disc the size of a half dollar, attached
to a wire standard, which is placed in the
vases of flowers in the refrigerator visible
to the public. The tags are made for Mr. Mur-
ray in Kansas City, but suggestions have been
made that they become standard for all flo-
rists.

The William L. Rock window attracted flo-
rists as well as the Kansas City public, with
its ingenious mill, bubbling brook with live
fish, ducks, etc. The Arthur Newell store was
pronounced admirably designed and decorated,
a corner location giving unusual opportunity
for window, as well as well illuminated in-
terior, display. The very attractive decorations
in the Alpha store were also commented upon.
Here Gypsophila was effectively used, but the
chief factor was the presence of an efficiency
expert, brought for the occasion, to explain
the extensive use of system in this establish-
ment. The attractive store of Miss Murray on
East Tenth St., and that of Miss Boggess near
the Rock store, were also visited, as were
others of the downtown establishments.

All day long, every day, motor cars_ were
carrying florists over the city, on visits to
various greenhouses. The number of cars
thus working was small during convention
sessions, but between them there were many
trips in progress. With a dozen or more
visitors engaged in these brief glimpses at a
time, the total number of "tours" during the
week reached large proportions. The tour of
the city on Thursday evening gave occupants
of about 200 motor cars a fine view of the
residence districts and of several of the
greenhouses and flower farms.

John Klaus gave a party to about 30 florists
at his home at Greenwood. 20 miles south of
Kansas City, Thursday evening, as a farewell
on the eve of his departure for Europe. Mr.
Klaus will in Switzerland join his wife, who
preceded him across the Atlantic by six weeks.
They will visit his brother, a grower in Swit-
zerland, and his mother in Germany. H.^Ku-
ik is also going abroad, and he and Mr. Klaus
will travel together. Mr. Kusik will visit his
former home in Bohemia, and will travel in
Germany and France.

Asa Chandler, pioneer fruit grower of the
Kansas City territory, father of M. E and
C A Chandler of the Chandler Landscape
and Floral Co., Kansas City, died Monday
evening Aug. 14, on the eve of the conven-
tion. The funeral was held Wednesday, serv-
ices being under the auspices of the G. A R.,
and at the Friend's Church. Many floral of-
ferings were sent by friends of the family.
Mrs. Chandler survives him.

The rapid increase in production, and the
expansion of business for local growers in
the Southwest, have caused large gain in
erection of better class greenhouses in this
territory In Iowa, Kansas, western Missouri,
Oklahoma and Nebraska the florists have been
these past two years making strides that give
promise of important and- substantial advance
for the industry. This development is re-
flected in the opening bv Lord & Burnham Co.
on Sept. 5, of offices in the Commerce Build-
ing, Kansas City. The company will have
men here to give direct service to florists of
the territory mentioned. H. M. Berne will be
manager.

S R. Lundy has sold his interest in green-
houses at Denver, Colo., the new company
being known as the Boldt-Hohmann Co.

Forehanded convention invitations — One
from the Chamber of Commerce of Los An-
geles for 1924, one from Milwaukee for 1924
and another from Philadelphia for 1926.

College students of the country studying
floriculture (there are said to be 100 such in
the States of Illinois, Iowa, New York, Penn-
sylvania and Massachusetts) as well as the
boys who are working in florist establishments
may next year be accorded the privilege of
becoming junior members of the S. A. F. and
O. H. at a nominal membership fee until
they graduate, if students, or presumably reach
age of 21, if employees.

An illustration of how small the world is
was made known to two convention delegates
who, happening into one of the smaller flower
shops at Kansas City, there came across Miss
Rohena Faulkner, the daughter of the respect-
ed New York representative of the American
Florist.

The Society of American Florists can do
no greater good for its membership than to
establish a Service Bureau which would
demonstrate not only the advantages of a
simplified system of bookkeeping, but like-
wise instruct its members how to run same.

President Pennock's recommendation that a
lady might well act on the Executive Board
of the S. A. F. was received with mingled
feelings.

Our Washington representative, Wm. F.
Gudc, was greatly missed. However, he sent
four of his children to represent him.

The absence of Robert Craig of Philadel-
phia was also noted and regretted.

President Pennock's appeal that the florists
support the "Garden Beautiful" idea in our
State prisons, the work to be done through
the State vice-presidents, was heartily ap-
proved.

After the reading of the report of Wm. F.
Gudc the Society's Washington representative,
a motion was passed that the secretary send
greetings and regrets at his absence, and Say
it with Flowers."

The Wm. R. Smith Memorial Fund now
amounts to $2234.13. This is a matter in
which our society should certainy take some
definite action.

Roy F Wilcox, Montebello, Cal., stated on
the floor that it took six years to produce a
crop of marketable palms.

The society has a botanist, a pathologist and
an entomologist— all good men— but its mem-
bers seem unaware of that fact.

Secretary John Young electrified the audi-
ence when he stated that the S. A .. F. and
O. H. has resources in all of over $bU,UUU.

There was a fine mixup on the floor on two
separate days between those for and against
Ou 17 Very little came from it, although
the" advocates "for" had the most able speak-
ers on their side. Nevertheless, it was aston-
ishing to note how little some of the speakers
themselves seemed to understand just what
had occurred at the May conference in Wash-
ington.

All employers are aware that labor is the
most formidable item in production. Much of
it represents 75 per cent labor and but 25
per cent of cost of material and overhead.
Much of our labor is still practically double
what it was in 1915, so the selling price has to
be in proportion.

Several of the papers read were exceedingly
valuable; for instance, the symposium on re-
frigeration for florists and the papers on the
coal situation and cooperative advertising. In
speaking of the coal situation, Mr. Johnson
stressed the point that in normal times the con-
sumer should buy regularly in order to avoid
loading and reloading costs, which constituted
one large item of expense. Mr. Johnson s ad-
dress brought about the appointment of a
committee to make a direct presentation to
the Fuel Administration at Washington through
the society's national representative, Wm. F.
Gude, asking that the peculiar situation of
the florists be looked into and that they be
granted priority.

A. H. Wrhitcomb of Lawrence, Kansas, is
one of the regular attendants at conventions,
as was his father before him, A. W. Whit-
comb, now dead some twenty years. The lat-
ter we understand, was one of the organizers
of the S. A. F.

The hospitality of the Kansas City florists
was most marked and in many directions ex-
tended to the making up of presentation cor-
sages for lady visitors at their flower shops.

At the first session of the convention the man
in the immaculate light suit, second row from
the front, had a close shave from being publicly
called upon because he was not joining in the
the singing which opened the convention.

The editors of The Florists Exchange
felt particularly good at hearing the name of
their trade paper mentioned so often during
the convention.

A great sentiment in favor of prohibition
was manifested by loud clapping when Phil.
Breitmeyer referred to the better conditions
among the delegates at conventions since pro-
hibition came in.

The trip to Electric Park on Thursday even-
ing was a most enjoyable affair. The prin-
cipal feature of the evening was the presen-
tation of a chest of silver to President Pen-
nock, the presentation speech being made by
Wallace R. Pierson.

The success of the publicity work of the
S. A. F. and O. H. depends almost entirely

on the ability of its members to cooperate, ac~
cording to Samuel M. Kinney. Question: Can
we cooperate?

The first team prize in the bowling tourna-
ment, donated by the K. C. F. C, was cer-
tainly well worth the winning. It was a ham-
mered silver, three-handled loving cup with,
pedestal, and was won by St. Louis.

Our conventions often lack an audience for
the reason that being unable to hear the speak-
er a few rows back from the platform, dele-
gates lose interest and feel nothing is to be
gained by their sitting in during the sessions.
This, unfortunately, was much in evidence at
Kansas City,

When Wallace R. Pierson responded to the
call of the delegates for a speech after the
announcement of his election as vice-president,
he jocundly said he found himself in a very
"embarrassing position;" his election was "en-
tirely unexpected." Then he told the story
of an Irishman who was placed in charge of
the excavation on a plot of ground, the former
owner having been guaranteed the top soil.
The Irishman was to report to the contractor
the moment the soil was removed, so that the
latter could get to work with his men on the
building. Finally, the Irishman sent this
word in: "The man that wanted the earth
has got it." "To be candid," said Mr. Pierson,
"I wanted this nomination."

The resolution of the Fuel Administration,
of the S. A. F. and O. H. was a most timely
proposition and was brought up by Wallace R.
Pierson. The intent of the resolution is to
prove to the "powers that be" that if the flo-
rists are deprived of coal, it will prove a ca-
lamity to the life of the florist industry. To
make the resolution more effective, it is to
be personally presented by the society's Wash-
ington representative. As the lack of coal is
the greatest menace to prosperity now con-
fronting the florist, let every one do his utter-
most to bring about priority for those among
them who at the present moment stand in
jeopardy of being deprived of the necessary
amount of fuel with which to run their plants
this Winter.

Even though many men disagreed with J.
McHutchison's committee's recent presenta-
tion at Washington before the May confer-
ence of the F. H. B., a resolution just be-
fore closing was adopted, expressing the sym-
pathy of the entife florist body with that
gentleman in his present affliction and it was.
moved to "Say it" with flowers and fruit, Mr.
McHutchison being at present in a hospital,
at Waverley, Mass.

"Plan to Plant Another Tree"

Its Effect on Markets
By J. A. YOUNG

{Continued from page 543),

catalog, or even in a newspaper, that
trees ought to be planted will not get
one-half the results that will come about
should a friend or a speaker at a club
say, "Come on boys, we must plant some
trees." It is the element of personal
contact that will put into execution the
great program of planting trees.

The "Plan to Plant Another Tree"
Association has interested Chambers of
Commerce in Illinois to take the lead in
tree planting. The* commercial organi-
zations have interested the Rotary, Ki-
wanis and Lions' Clubs, Boy Scouts,
women's clubs, and other civic organi-
zations in the need for the planting of
trees. In many instances all the clubs
of a community have joined together un-
der the "Plan to Plant Another Tree"
banner and have brought about the
planting of a large number of trees,
shrubs, etc. Notable among such activi-
ties was the planting of large numbers
of trees and shrubs in East St. Louis.

Ninety-five per cent of all the coun-
ties in America have farm bureau organi-
zations which, working through fanners'
clubs, will be able to awaken the entire
farming community to the necessity for
planting. And when it is shown that
trees and Shrubs ought to be planted, the
farmer, the backbone of American in-
dustry, will plant them.

There are approximately five million
people in America who are interested in
civic and rural clubs. These people will
work steadily for the "Plan to Plant
Another Tree" idea because they recog-
nize in it a great constructive program
for bettering each community. "Plan
to Plant Another Tree," therefore, does
not mean "Market Development." It
does mean the banding together of red-
blooded Americans in Chambers of Com-
merce, business, agriculture, commercial
and women's clubs, who will not only
talk trees but also plant trees. These
are the constructive people of America.
They wish to do the very thing that we
are asking them to do. and we may be
certain that the trees will be pui-ebased
and the planting done, because these men
and women get what they go after.

The Florists' Exchange

Salem, Mass.

Gladioli are coming in thick and fast;
one department store here is selling them
for 25c. a doz. This cuts into the florists
trade as we are asking 75c. for extra
good spikes. This department store does
not make a regular business of selling
cut flowers and plants.

There is a rumor of a new flower store
starting up in Salem. „, .

Ervin Harden and Ariel 0. Tounger of
Marblehead, Mass., have a handsome Aster
farm of 19,000 plants. Part of these
plants have been raised for seed for a
Boston firm. ■' ,„

William J. Carleton of Beverly, Mass.,
is building an addition to his green-
house He is located in the Rial Side sec-
tion of Beverly. Frank E. Smith.

Newport, R. 1.

Aug 22 — The week just past has been
the busiest of the season. Visitors in
large numbers for the dog show brought
about numerous entertainments at the
homes of the Summer residents. There
were several large affairs that called tor
a considerable amount of decorative ma-
terial. A wedding at Trinity Church at
which Leikens had charge of the decora-
tions, was well done. There are several
house warmings this week at places which
changed hands last Spring and with the
horse show yet to come, there are busy
days ahead.

Newport Horticultural Society

The regular meeting of the above
society was held on the 22d instant. It
was voted that the society put a float in
line at the Chamber of Commerce s Labor
Dav parade, September i, with the fol-
lowing committee in charge: Andrew J.
Donard, Bruce Butterton, John T. Allan,
Arthur W. Potter, John Mahan.

Garden Judging

The Horticultural Society's Com-
mittee on Awards made the annual round
of inspection to 24 home gardens which
had been entered in competition, on the
loth instant and made the awards to four
classes, viz.: Flower gardens, vegetable
gardens, vegetable and flower gardens,
fruit, vegetable and flower gardens. The
quality and arrangement of all showed a
marked improvement over other years.
No professionals could have produced bet-
ter results in the culture of vegetables
than was shown in the winning plots culti-
vated by the Italian growers; to the judges
it was an object lesson of what can be
produced on a small piece of ground.

In the flower gardens, the Dahlia ap-
peared to be the most popular flower; the
Gladiolus is also growing in favor.

Taken all in all, this branch of the
society's work is worthy of encourage-
ment. Alexander MacLellan.

Heat and Storms

After three days of exceedingly
hot weather, the spell broke suddenly
over night and during the last part of
the week this section has been experi-
encing heavy thundershowers, accom-
panied with great downpours of rain,
doing much damage to crops and prop-

erty. Saturday afternoon brought the
climax to the series of storms. The rain
came in torrents, flooding the city streets,
filling the basins with tons of mud and
gravel. Oldtimers say that they have
experienced storms, but this one on Sat-
urday beat them all. The shower was of
au hour's duration.

With the reports coming in that
French and Holland bulbs are beginning
to arrive in New York, local florists and
dealers in these bulbs begin to realize
that they must get busy and get ready
for their' Fall sales and planting.

G. S. Seavey & Son, the largest deal-
ers in Holland" bulbs in this district, have
their Fall price list of bulbs ready to
send out. Work has begun on their new
Hitchings house, supervised by Mr.
Knower. from the factory. Mr. Knower
states that Dahlias and perennial Phlox,
Sweet Peas and other Summer flowers
that like cool weather, do much better
here in Maine than in the warmer States.
xVlthough we have exceedingly , hot
weather at times, the heat wave does
not last long enough to destroy the
plants or even stunt them. He came to
Bangor from Cumberland Center, Me.
(near Portland) at which place he
erected a large house for a Mr. Jenkins.

Fair Week

This coming week is "Fair Week,"
the Eastern Maine State Fair being in
session Aug. 21-25. The merchants have
taken over the management of this fair
for the past two years and are develop-
ing a very fine exhibition of agriculture
in all its 'developments. A wonderful ex-
hibition of flowers is displayed yearly
and premiums awarded. This tends to
develop interest among the growers, and
the quality of the blooms displayed is
good.

Representatives of wholesale Carna-
tion and Rose growers are visiting the
florists soliciting trade for the Fall and
Winter trade.

Elmira, N. Y.

News Notes

Market conditions remained about
the same as the previous week, with the
exception that there is not such a glut of
Gladiolus. Prices have stiffened up a
little. There are reports of disease in
the Asters. Some growers are not doing
so well this season.

J. Parker of the Rosary has moved his
business to 159 N. Main st. The store
he is now occupying is very attractive in
appearance. Mr. Parker enjoys a large
patronage and besides he is a singer with
some reputation.

R. M. Leavitt, who for years conducted
a flower shop at the corner of Carroll
and Baldwin sts., has removed his business
to the corner of Second and N. Main
sts. His new store draws the attention
of passersby. At present Mr. Leavitt and
his sister, Miss May Leavitt, are enjoying
their vacation.

W. Cox of Towanda paid us a visit last
week; he reports business quite satisfac-
tory.

Backers Greenhouses, conducted by J.
Wolfe, were also hit by hail, so the help
is busy yet putting in glass. It seems
the hail has done more damage than first
reported. R. K-

Among West Chester (Pa.) Growers

J. M. Draper, grower for the Lorgus
Co., took us over his place last week. The
idea here is to grow for the retail store
of the company at West Chester, of which
Rudolph Lorgus is in charge. A' little of
everything may be seen on the benches.
The big crops are Chrysanthemums, Car-
nations and Calla Lilies. Sweet Peas
and Calendulas fill some of the houses all
Winter, Asters taking up the vacant
space in Summer. Pansies are used as a
fill in crop. Of course, no greenhouse is
complete without ferns and potted plants
and a goodly representation are found
here.

For instance, one house is now planted
to Chrysanthemums, which will be fol-
lowed up with Spring bedding plants. An-
other is planted to Carnations and Snap-
dragon and "carry over" stock for propa-
gating. The firm does all its own propa-
gating. There are about 8000ft. of glass
in the range. A new house is going up
to house a crop of Peas which will fill in
the vacancy between early Winter flower-
ing and the Summer crop.

The establishment of Joseph Kift was
visited next and, although Mr. Kift was
away, we managed to persuade the young
lady in charge to let us look around. A
general stock is grown here also and the
houses looked clean and the plants in
good shape. A gang of men was tearing
down an old house and plans are already
laid for a new house in its place.

Baltimore, Md.

The Market

Aug. 21. — Summer is now rapidly
running its course ; only one more week
and September will be here, with busi-
ness opening up and conditions changing
for the better. The arrivals of outdoor
flowers are still very heavy, but the cut
of Gladioli has shortened up slightly and
Asters are not quite so plentiful. Roses
are light in supply, but sufficient for all
the demand. Cattleyas are short, but
there is a fair supply of Easter Lilies
and L. rubrum.

A big supply of Zinnias, Golden Glow,
Phlox. Hydrangea, Marigolds and other
miscellaneous flowers and plenty of all
kinds of green goods.

News Notes

Around Boston, the critical flower
buyers appreciate the old time Euphor-
bia jaequinioeflora or fulgens, and there
is no reason why this favorite of years
gone by should not again command at-
tention from flower lovers in this senti-
mental old town. The long graceful
flower stems blend with almost any
flower arrangement and the color will
harmonize with every Christmas deco-
ration. We know the out of town supply
•has always been limited in this market,
but the coming season may bring some
home-grown flowers that will astonish
and delight the younger as well as the
older generation of flower connoisseurs.
In a recent letter from Herman H.
Bartsoh, president of The Wm. W. Ed-
gar Co. of Waverley, Mass., who is prob-
ably the largest and most successful
grower of this plant in the East, we
learn many points in the cultivation and
care of this plant that may not be fa-
miliar to our growers. We quote in part :
"May struck cuttings are best for

bench plants to grow on for cut flowers,
producing stems 18in. to 36in. long,
while the June and July wood may be
rooted for pot and pan growing, later on.
After the flowering period, do not dry
off as you would Poinsettia but keep wa-
tered. Grown in good rich soil they need
but little feeding and will thrive in a
Poinsettia house. After cutting, the stem
must be dipped into boiling water, for. a
few seconds ; if properly treated the flow-
ers will last for two weeks."

Worried about ibis supply of coal for
next Winter — not a bit and it seems to
me in my untrained approach to the
great coal question, that of having 100
tons of soft coal left over from last year,
is not what you might call a streak of
bad business. Charlie Cook has that
amount right now on his place at Catons-
ville.

We had the great pleasure of shaking
hands with E. H. Holden of Catonsville,
one day last week ; he looks the picture
of health and contentment amid his won-
derful oraainental trees, evergreens and
beautiful Japanese Maples. Among many
other specimens on the vast lawn, is a
most perfectly shaped Willow Oak. The
tree was gift from John Cook many
years ago and Mr. Holden takes no ordi-
nary pride in the possession of this beau-
tiful, but rarely seen ornamental Oak.

Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Patterson, in
quest of Rose stock for the new house,
journeyed over to L. B. Coddington's big
Rose range at Murray Hill, N. J., last
week. Returned with many pleasing im-
pressions of this tremendous glass estab-
lishment. Absolutely up to date in every
respect, with the largest plantings of
commercial Roses in perfect condition,
they had ever seen.

We learn that Joseph S. Merritt, is
on the Baltimore County Grand Jury,
for the coming Fall term.

Arthur S. Richmond has just finished
housing his Carnations. Arthur _ will
grow but two varieties this Winter,
White Perfection and Enchantress Su-
preme. His French Hydrangeas are the
best he has ever had.

Wm. F. Ekas has been invited to speak
before The Halten Garden Club on
"Hardy Perennials," Sept. 13.

L. M. Levering, Jr., and T. Walter
Gray have signified their intention of
joining the Maryland membership in the
American Rose Society.

Henry H. Seidlich, of Catonsville, Md.,
is a well-known member of the craft
about town, with a pleasing personality,
that is seldom ruffled, but he told me
confidently, one day last week just this,
"If my weekly copy of The Florists
Exchange fails to come on Saturday
morning, I am in a bad humor all day."
It just goes to show how the non-arrival
of the Hub of Horticulture, can upset a
well regulated florist's establishment.
Henry is at present just finishing up two
new houses, each 90x16, planted to
Chrysanthemums. The Carnations are
all under glass and look very promising.
The Cyclamen plants are in the "gold
medal class" and look as though there
was somebody around who knows how
to grow them. In the fields, big blocks
of Dahlias, Cosmos, and Gladioli and
Chinese Wool Flower are in full bloom,
responding nicely to good cultivation and
fine growing season. Mrs. Seidlich dis-
poses of most of the heavy cut of _ Sum-
mer flowers at the stand in Lexington
Market ; she has built up a wonderful

When a "Feller" Needs a Friend

Contrary to the pessimists, most of us
discover, in times of stress, that the world
is full of friends, even if we have not
alwavs done our best to deserve them.
John G. Sholl of Burlington, N. J., dis-
covered the truth of this last Winter
when a fire destroyed his greenhouses.

To show how he feels about it he has,
during the season, been mailing his
patrons and friends letters of appreciation.
A copy of this letter came into our office
recently, and we think it is worth repro-
ducing. Here it is:

To Our Friends:

The finest possession in the world is a friend.'
Some folks get the idea that there is no friendliness
in business. We want to put in a word to the con-
trary— right here!

When a disastrous fire visited our greenhouses
in the dead of Winter, with zero temperatures
freezing what stock the flames spared, we faced a
rather dull outlook — the morning after. And then
this matter of friendship in business began to flash
up here and there, near and far, until it looked
like a regular aurora borealis of good wishes. We
were kept so busy reading or listening to these mes-
sages of good will, that, with figuring on re-building
plans and filling orders that never for a day stopped
coming in, there was no time to brood over the

This letter is for a triple purpose. First, we
want to thank our friends for those helpful mes-
sages. We repeat — the finest possession in the
business world is a friend.

Secondly, we wish to thank you for your con-
tinued confidence, expressed through the orders
that have continued to flow in while we have been
operating under this handicap. We have sacrificed
profits, when necessary, to fill these orders with
oldtime efficiency and have been drawing on some
of the best growers in the world to do so.

Thirdly, we wish to assure you that our rebuilding
plans are under way; that we expect to make our
greenhouses a place of greater beauty and attrac-
' tiveness and that we shall be able to fill all orders
in the future with regularity, speed and satisfaction
to every customer.

With a renewal of friendly greetings and appre-
ciation,

Very truly yours,

JOHN G. SHOLL.

Record Output of "Gas"

The greatest production of gasoline in
the history of the oil industry occurred
in May, 1922. The output was 12,229,975
barrels of 42 gallons each. The highest
previous production was in September,
1920, when 10,806,693 barrels were pro-
duced. In spite of the unprecedented pro-
duction, however, the amount of gasoline
available in refinery storage on May 1 of
this year was only 82 gallons for each of
the 10,500,000 automobiles registered on
Jan. 1, as against an average of 87 gal-
lons for each of the automobiles registered
for the years 1918 to 1921.

Contrary to a widespread belief, gaso-
line is not the principal product of crude
petroleum. It forms about 25 per cent
of a barrel of crude, but fuel oil forms
nearly 50 per cent and sells for less than
the cost of the crude.

Battle Creek, Mich. — S. W. Coggan, in
connection with his present greenhouses,
is erecting a two-story brick building with
reinforced cement basement for cooling
room, size 23ft.x38ft. The new Foley
greenhouse is 38ft.x89ft., giving Mr. Cog-
gan about 37,000ft. of glass over all.

We wish to impress upon our readers that
all questions intended for this department
must bear the name of sender, not necessa-
rily for publication, but as a guarantee of
good faith. We will endeavor to answer all
questions submitted to us by subscribers,
but we cannot recognize anonymous com-
munications.

NAMES OF PLANTS.— Correspondents are
asked to recognize the fact that it is better for
them to send varieties of flowers to specialists
for naming; that is to say, varieties of Gerani-
ums, Dahlias, Roses, Sweet Peas and other
such plants. Specialists with collections of
varieties can easily name the flowers sent to
them, whereas we, in an editorial office,
might have difficulty in recognizing them
correctly. We undertake, however, to assist
our readers in getting the names of species
of plants, which are permanent plant forms,
and not subject to constant change as the
varieties of popular flowers are.

Freesias and Snapdragons

E. V., X. J. — Five- or 6in. pots are the
best sizes; these will take six to nine bulbs
according to their size. Cover the bulbs
about J^in. and plunge the pots in ashes
outdoors, but do not cover them. Protect
with a sash if possible. Flats can be treated
in the same way giving the bulbs about
1 H>in. of space. Don't attempt to force
them until the growth is well forward, and
then only if the bulbs are of the largest size.

Old Snapdragons that have been flowering
outdoors, do not usually lift well and if you
attempt it, you will need to take up with
plenty of soil and even then, many may die
off. Young plants that have not flowered
can be transplanted easily, but for benching
it is customary to grow them on in pots
until the benches are ready.

Raspberry Propagation

R. W. W., Mass. — We assume you refer
to the red Raspberry, not the black. The
latter is only increased by layering, and
while it is customary to root the tips of
the growth only, it is possible by pegging
down and earthing over slightly to induce
rooting at every joint. Red Raspberries
are introduced usually by suckers; most
varieties are prolific in sending out their
runners which send up shoots at various
points. The suckers can be pulled out
in the Fall and the portions between the
growths could be cut up and, if kept in
sand in a frame, some of the dormant
eyes would start. The roots proper are
no use; it is only the suckers or runners
that have eyes. We have seen the layer-
ing method also adopted, but you cannot,
of course, propagate the wood and have
fruit as well. We once raised a batch of
young plants from the wood cut off at
planting time in the Spring, but in a gen-
eral way nothing beats the natural sucker
growths. These can often be encouraged
by close digging, but you cannot expect
strong fruiting canes if the plants are
irritated into suckering unduly.

Hydrangeas and Cannas

C, Ala. — You must on no account cut
back your plants of the French type after
they have ripened off. That would mean
removal of the wood which produces the
flowers. All the pinching must be done
while they are growing. The older pot
bound plants ripen off in the ordinary
way in October by gradually withholding
water. Never let get bone dry. The mass
of small wood could be cut out now, but
it is doubtful whether the strong eyes at
the base could grow sufficiently and ripen
inside the next two months. It all de-
pends on your climate. You want pot
bound plants for early bloom; you can
feed with liquid cow manure when new
growth is under way. With your climate
it may be easy enough to get late wood
to ripen before Winter sets in, but unless
you make them take a rest, you cannot
force early. As to blooming at Christmas
that is too tall an order for us. In these
parts it is more favored around Easter.
We have not handled any Cannas to
flower in January. Any of the popular
sorts would doubtless flourish in pots, but

the dwarfer sorts, like Gaiety, City of
Portland, Eureka, Golden Eagle, etc.,
■would be more suitable than the strong
growing orchid flowered type. We have
not seen anyone specialize in pot grown
Cannas since the days of Henry Cannell;
he could flower them in 4in. or 5in. pots,
but he did not do it in January.

Asparagus Diseased

C. P. R., N. J. — The portion of As-
paragus Sprengeri submitted was too
much withered for us to decide whether
u uad dried in the mail or on the plant.
We have not seen Sprengeri plants so af-
fected, but it is possible that some form
of rust has attacked your plants.

We arc inclined to think, however,
that it was unwise to plant two year
stock out : presumably they had been
grown in pots previously. As the roots
of such old plants would be terribly mat-
ted it is possible that they have never
taken hold of the soil in the bed and are
thereby drying for lack of food and wa-
ter. You would have done better to have
split up the plants, or planted vigorous
young seedlings.

If the growth is all straw-like as is
the sample sent, better burn them. As-
suming rust is the cause of the trouble
you might try spraying with copper-am-
monia solution made with 2 ozs. sulphate
of copper, one pint of ammonia and two
gallons of water. Use this solution at the
rate of one part to 32 parts of water,
spraying heavily.

Maple Infested with Scale

A. B., Conn. — The leaf sent is infested
with the Cottony Maple or vine scale
(Pulvinaria vitis). It is common in the
eastern states, but it's apt to be promi-
nent everywhere. The eggs are covered
by the cotton like substance and the young
settle on the leaves and smaller branches.
They mate in the Fall and the females
settie for the Winter on the small twigs.
They lay their eggs in the Spring and
then die. the young carrying on in great
numbers throughout the Summer; the
male forms only appear toward Fall. Bad
infestations will seriously affect the vigor
of the trees. Any of the regular emul-
sions of kerosine or carbolic acid, sprayed
in the Spring when the young are hatch-
ing, will keep down this pest. This scale
affects various other trees, but it is
preyed upon by ladybird and various oth-
er insects, and so is not always plentiful
enough to cause serious trouble.

General News

At the weekly meeting of the
Rotarv Club, held in the Windsor Hotel
last week, W. E. Groves, the retiring
president of the C. F. G. A., had the honor
of addressing the members with a few
invited guests. Mr. Groves' subject was
that world famed slogan, " 'Say it with
Flowers.' When and How to Say it."
The mental illustrations he used, his pleas-
ing manner and wonderful delivery, with
a thorough knowledge of human nature,
by which he was able to treat his subject
in a masterful manner, brought forth
much favorable comment. The florists
who were in his audience said his ad-
dress was good advertising for the florists
of Montreal.

A very enjoyable evening was given to
the local committee by its president, E.
J. Hayward, at his beautiful home in
Cote St. Paul. Those present included W.
E. Groves, James McKenna, F. J. Mc-
Kenna, C. A. Smith, T. Hill, R. Burrows,
J. Bennett, W. C. Hall, G. W. Pascoe,
D. McDonald, Secretary H. J. Eddy, R.
Scott and Mr. Walsh.

Mr. Hayward presided after Mrs. Hay-
ward had satisfied the inner man with
an enjoyable supper. Mr. Hayward said
that after the work of the committee dur-
ing convention week, he would like to
thank each member. Mr. Wilshire and
H. C. MeKinney were not able to be
present. Music and singing, interspersed
with short speeches by the guests, made
up a very enjoyable evening. The sing-
ing of Mr. Frank McKenna was a revela-
tion. Mrs. Scott's singing is always first
class.

Mr. Hayward's greenhouse stock . is in
first class condition. He is an authority

on fern culture, and ferns were to be
seen in various stages of growth.

Exhibits at the Convention

In reporting convention news last
week we omitted to mention those who
had trade exhibits. A very fine one was
staged by Rice & Co., Philadelphia. They
showed baskets and other lines. The
Montreal Floral Exchange showed a full
line in florists' supplies; they were able
to write up some nice orders. Others who
made creditable displays were the Dale
Estate, Miller Bros., John Connon Co.,
R. Burrows Co., Dupuy & Ferguson and
others. S. Kirk of the Georgetown Floral
Co. showed a large collection of Gladioli;
E. J. Hayward, terns; C. A. Smith, ferns
and flowers. A large collection of Cana-
dian made baskets was shown by the
Burch Reed Novelties Co.

J. Ciammage & Sons of London showed
some good ferns. Carl Grobba of Mimico
had seedling palms, ferns, etc. Mrs.
Grobba was m charge. Quite a large hall
was used for this trade exhibition, and I
think good business will result.

News Jottings

Mrs. J. J. Higgins is in the hospi-
tal, having taken ill suddenly a fortnight
ago.

The Gardeners and Florists Association
held their annual picnic at the farm of
Lady Eaton at Eversley. There was a
large crowd who went by electric cars
which had been provided, and by motor
cars. A long list of games was keenly
contested. Among the growers present
were E. Argall, Mr. and Mrs. J. H.
Dunlop, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Dale and Miss
Dale and Ernest Swertzcherf of Miller's.
The guests were welcomed by P. L. Why-
tock, superintendent, who escorted them
over the estate, showing the extensive
landscape gardening which is being done.
Supper was served along the banks of the
private lake. W. Foord and Alex Simpson
had charge of arrangements and races.
One amusing event was estimating the
weight of three ladies. Mrs. Bitchard
struck the exact amount. S. McElroy's
team won the baseball game and Alex
Simpson's the tug of war.

It is reported that there is a shortage
of bulbs and that prices this year are
high. This year there was a large quan-
tity of bulb stock, but the present out-
look is that next season will not see it so
plentiful.

Alf . Wilson, the "Cedar king" of Peffer-
law, has been assisting J. J. Higgins.

H. G. Dillemuth was a recent visitor to
Pefferlaw. Alf. Wilson states that busi-
ness in Cedar has been good, that there
is a growing popularity of Cedar for de-
sign work. He has been shipping large
quantities South of the border recently.

Greenhouse Building Active

As further indication of the im-
proved business conditions in Canada,
Lord & Burnham Co., Ltd., report several
substantial greenhouse sales. This ap-
plies particularly to the Maritime Prov-
ince. The company recently closed
several contracts in that section. Added
to these are two iron frame Lord & Burn-
ham houses for C. W. MacAloney, Hali-
fax, N. S. What might be termed the
"Lord & Burnham City of Richmond Hill,"
noted as the home of Dunlop & Son, Bed-
ford Park Floral Co., Messrs. Ofieid &
Cotton and others, is having an addition
to its glass area in the way of a 51ft. 2in.
wide Lord & Burnham iron frame house
for H. J. Mills, Ltd.

Partnership has recently been formed
between Messrs. Argall and Basher, who
are building two Lord & Burnham iron
frame greenhouses in Todmorden, Ont. Mr.
Argall was formerly a grower of consid-
erable renown at Toronto. The new prob-
erty in Todmorden, an outlying district of
Toronto, and their new houses, should
tend to produce good results.

A number of smaller growers are add-
ing to their glass area : many are realizing
the opportunity of increasing their busi-
ness at the present time, while several
men have also sought the aid of L. & B.

Lord & Burnham Co., Ltd. extend a,
hearty invitation to all growers and flo-
rists throughout Canada and the United
States to visit their exhibit in the Horti-
cultural Building, of the Canadian Nation-
al Exhibition to be held in Toronto Aug.
26 to Sept. 9, inclusive, where they will
have on display the new type of commer-
cial greenhouse now proving so popular
among growers. . G. C. K.

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

Where Weeds Don't Grow

The members of the Horticultural
Trades Association (British) who re-
cently visited the 120 acre flower growing
establishment of Lowe & Shawyer, near
London — described in these columns
last year by Prof. E. A. White — were ap-
parently unable to decide which was the
most remarkable feature of the place; its
magnitude or its cleanliness. In all those
acres not a handful of weeds could be
seen and one party seems to have won-
dered whether it can pay any commer-
cial concern to keep its grounds, roads and
greenhouses smarter than any public park '
where money does not usually count.

Whether one visits Lowe & Sbawyer's
in Spring or Fall, weeds are taboo, and
one might well ask, how is it? for weeds
are no respecters of places. Assuredly
it must pay; this mighty place could not
go on employing 500 hands if it didn't. Ac-
tually, I suppose this weed hunting propo-
sition is reckoned as one of the regular
expense items. The labor is divided in
gangs under foremen and presumably each
is responsible for a given area. The light
work is mostly done by girls and seem-
ingly they take a pride in their work,
for even with staking 'Mums outdoors,
every cane is set dead in line; the most
accurate staker is a girl and where she
has been at work, 500 or 1000 look like
one when viewed from the end of the
row. I suppose the real explanation of
this model flower factory is abundant
help and pride of workers.

Wilson's O. K. Spray

This surely has been a queer season for
spraying, although happily the "bugs" — and
I won't say anything about the fleas, con-
found them- — have not been very preva-
lent in these regions. The rains have
been too frequent and too heavy to per-
mit anything other than aphis to have a
chance. I . offer thanks that the slug is
almost unknown here around; such
weather with similar temperature in
Europe would mean billions of slugs and
snails. I haven't seen one Potato bug other
than the tiny puncturing beetle; Rose-
bugs almost unknown, few grasshoppers
and only a limited number of woodliee. As
for aphis, this pest has always been
ready for business if there was no rain
for two days; in fact, a special brand of
red ones deliberately chose my Michaelmas
Daisies, which are my pride and joy. this
season. These redskins took possession
of the stems from top to bottom, not
foliage, and. let me whisper it, only the
newly installed varieties which reached me
via Washington and the wild ericoides
dug from the field. Query, did the latter
infest the former, or vice versa? All were
planted early in the Spring. Established
plants elsewhere were never affected. Any-
way, I turned Wilson's O. K. spray on the
lot. This fluid is surely a killer and it
has fungicidal action also, for it not
only cleaned aphis off Sweet Peas, but
would have pulled the plants out of
Mosaic attack if the wretched root rot
had not chipped in. I have been asked
vvhy my Delphiniums have no rust and
the Roses no mildew; perhaps O. K. has
been instrumental here. I wish I could
say it would prevent black spot on Roses,
but that's expecting too much.

What We Want

According to tests made in Ohio, a
farmer fed 110 hens on scratch grain the
first week in June, and collected 70 eggs.
Then he gave mash, and at the end of
the third week the same birds were laying
36S eggs a week, an increase of 425 per
cent.

Pretty good, so long as you don't want
to know all the other factors in the case,
but what we are looking for is some sort
of manure or feed that will make our
Roses, Carnations, aye, even plain, com-
mon Corn, increase 425 per cent.

Seems to. me there was a wonderful fel-
low going around a year or two back who
proposed to double our crops by some
strange methods. Another hinted that by

breeding on the lines laid down by him
much the same would come about; at least,
the size of things would be doubled, which
I suppose is the same thing.

But, leaving these aside as theorists,
can we get anything that will do the same
for plants as mash does for hens? Maybe,
if the radio-active-bacteria theories count
for anything.

And do you know it was put up to me
that pot plants derive radio benefit from
crocks put in the bottom of the pot. We
all favor broken pots for crocking — to
serve as drainage — but how many have
ever thought those sharp points on the
crocks actually influence growth through
radio emanations?

The Daffodil Fly

I observe one of our contemporaries has
been advising on this pest in California,
too, but one gets the impression that the
fly is an unknown quantity with them.
Seemingly it is not realized that there are
two Daffodil flies, and that while- the
larger one is about half an inch in length,
the other is hardly a quarter of an inch
long, with a wing spread of but little
greater. The larva? of these flies differ
as mentioned in The Exchange, page 413,
for while the large fly maggot may touch
three-fourths of an inch, the small species
Enmerus strigatus rarely exceeds a quar-
ter of an inch. Moreover, the large fly
grub almost always works singly, while
of the small one, a dozen up to 30 may
be found in one bulb. It was this small
species that was affecting the California
bulbs.

Our Western confrere tells us that con-
trol methods have not so far proved satis-
factory. It is suggested that the grubs
can be drowned by placing the bulbs in
water for a few days; an indefinite sug-
gestion this, and calculated to affect bulbs,
assuming they are not already too far
eaten up. It would be useless to put such
samples as received in anything but the
fire.

Carbon bisulphide is also suggested;
useless, by the way, for the larvaj do not
live in the ground but in the bulbs.

I might mention that the bulbs received
by me were kept in a box for a week, and
sure enough some of the pupa; hatched
into flies, proof that a second brood does
emerge in the early Fall. As I had some
Daffodil bulbs in my cellar, I lost no time
in consigning the California samples to the
fire. I can imagine there is a fine lot
of the flies buzzing around in the far West
which will ensure more trouble next year.

Hints and Helps for Florists

We are apt to be slow in New York.
For instance, when Friend Max Schling
favored us with the series of questions
fired at him by the pupils of his School of
Floristry, and the answers thereto, we
just printed the whole shoot without try-
ing to collect any credit for same. As I
said before, we are slow, for we could have
made things look better if we had just
made a selection and given each item a
special heading.

To Such Base Uses

Somewhere in New Jersey a peripatetic
florist travels around with flowers and
plants. His vehicle is an old horse-drawn
hearse. Being offered it for a modest sum,
he concluded it was as suitable as any
for his business.

The V. G. A. A.

Reading an account of the beginnings
of the Vegetable Growers Association of
America, by its secretary in the Em Gee
Jay, I note that when it was formed 15
years ago, it formulated its constitution
on the lines of the S. A. F. and O. H.,
that being the only organization offering
the needful information. Of course,
modifications had to be made and consid-
erable changes are now contemplated.

But as showing how slowly things pro-
gress and how we are apt to talk and talk,
I may mention that 15 years ago at the
first V. G. A. meeting a paper on breed-
ing vegetables for forcing w-as read. To-
day, there is still lots of talk about needed
seed improvement; in fact, one might al-
most think from the activities of some
people, that all the seed sold is N. D. G.
and that seed growers and seedsmen gen-
erally were a lot of high falutin wind
bags, whose ignorance is only equalled by
their rapacity. Twenty years ago, papers
on bulb growing in America were read at
a S. A. F. convention and we are still
talking about it. The only difference is
that the congressmen haven't got to call-
ing down the inferiority of the bulbs
sold in this country. Aren't they some-
what remiss?

Detroit, Mich.

The Market .

The week ending Aug. 19 was the
hottest, in Detroit in years. Many people
were overcome, and in almost a dozen cases
resulted in death, but casualties among the
florists stock were so huge as to be inesti-
mable. Business remains about the same
as last week with an abundance of stock
of all kinds, excepting Carnations which
have given up the struggle.

News Notes

Philip Breitmeyer, president F. T.
D., and M. Bloy, editor and business man-
ager of the F. T. D. News, were at the
convention in Kansas City.

Robert Rahaley, manager of the Michi-
gan Cut Flower Exchange is confined to
his Summer home in Canada with pto-
maine poisoning. Mr. Rahaley was
stricken on Thursday last.

Bowling Club

Less than one-third of the thirty-
odd bowlers who were scheduled to meet
at Herman Knope's greenhouses Friday
night showed up, resulting in the post-
ponement of the meeting until the first
of September. The meeting place has
been changed to Thiery's Bowling Alley.

Kansas City, Mo.

The Happy Aftermath

The Kansas City Florists Club,
which, as might be supposed, is a strong
organization to be able to arrange and
carry out its splendid plans for the enter-
tainment of the S. A. F. and O. H., has
profited by the event as much as any other
one element. For the spirit which caused
its success as host animates it for greater
future accomplishments in its local field.

A post convention session of the central
committee, consisting of the chairmen of
the various sub-committees, was held Aug.
21, when sentiments of Chairman W. L.
Rock and others indicated the important
beneficial effect on the industry locally,
from the opportunity to entertain the so-
ciety. The splendid manner in which
every person charged with a duty respond-
ed, and the fine cooperation met from
every angle, have been inspiring.

At this meeting many suggestions were
made for future accomplishments, now
seen to be possible through the harmony
prevailing and through the cooperative
energy available. The central committee
will be continued, it is certain, to put
through projects for the advancement of
flower appreciation by the public, and for
the furtherance of trade projects and as-
sociation enterprises.

While every chairman was praised un-
stintingly for his efficient work, especial
praise was given, during the meeting, to
Mr. Rock, who, as chairman, had planned
and engineered the operations. He, on the
other hand, insisted that the results were
due to the committee.

"I want to thank every member of the
committee," he said. "But it is not my
place to do that. For it was out of your
own hearts that you did the work, and did
it so well."

The committee instructed that flowers
be sent to various persons, outside the
business, who had helped with the local
plans, gifts having already been sent in
many cases.

St. Louis, Mo.

The Market

After a week of intensely hot
weather, the market opened up Monday,
Aug. 21, with a refreshing shower, and
cooler weather prevails. Business is at
a standstill, and all you hear at the
market is: "What will you give for a
thousand left overs?" be it in Roses,
Asters or Gladioli. A few Carnations
are seen, but of very poor quality. What
we need is cool nights, and everything will
show increased vitality.

The wholesalers and the retailers re-
turning from Kansas City speak well of
their treatment, their only complaint be-
ing the hot weather, but St. Louis was
hot, too. The bowlers are happy, coming
back with honors. The St. Louis boys did
some good advertising for the coming Fall
flower show, and the prospects of a big out
of town attendance are assured.

The downtown district has been very
quiet on Saturdays the last two months,
owing to the closing of the department
stores all day. Next week they will re-
open; the schools and theaters also. Then
we can expect the ball to start rolling.

Weather has greatly affected the quality
of stock, and especially the keeping quali-
ties. The growers have started planting
out, cleaning up and getting everything
ready for Fall trade.

News Notes

We regret to announce a painful
accident to Charles Kuhne, Sr. Caught in
a storm, his car skidded, and he was
thrown and badly injured. Everyone hopes
for a speedy recovery.

H. G. Berning and wife returned from
the convention, well pleased; found it
quite warm out that way.

George Hartmann of Kirkwod, Mo., is
making great improvements. Gave his
nine houses a general overhauling and is
preparing for a big Carnation and 'Mum
crop this Fall.

The bowlers in St. Louis are going to
have a big season and hope to meet their
friends during flower show week.

Portland, Ore.

Trade Notes

Aug. 17. — Outside of a steady run
of funeral work, business is on Summer
standard. Flowers of all kinds are plen-
tiful, but occasionally something better is
lacking as the Rose crop is impossible.
The cool weather that prevailed for the
past week, greatly helped the Rose along,
but it has turned very warm again so it
will be several weeks before fine Roses
will again be a regular item. Outside
of a few calls, the Carnation is not
missed; in fact, it is probably to the ad-
vantage of this flower to be off the mar-
ket for a while, as it looks better and
sells better when it appears again. Val-
ley and orchids are still with us in ample
supply and are about all that is left when
something better is wanted. Peas have
been considerably refreshed by the re-
cent rains and are of better quality.

Taken as a whole, the outlook for the
production of quality stock for this lo-
cality is good. All establishments have
the work well under hand and with the
general business condition in the millin-
ery and sundry trade on the upgrade, con-
tinued prosperity is assured. In con-
trast with a year ago, the wholesale trade
reports the sale of all stock that is ready,
and an exceptional demand for growing on
stock coming from all parts of the coun-
try.
News Notes

From Smith's comes the report that
business is good. Tommy Luke is with
the Booster Caravan that is covering cen-
tral and southern Oregon. These trips
are one of Tommy's delights and we have
it that he is baggage master. As xisual,
Tommy near the commissary.

Crantfords are at present occupied with
a Gladioli Show and upwards of 300 va-
rieties are on display. This is a good
example of what is to be expected of the
ambitious amateur and there are many
about, especially with Dahlias and
Gladioli.

Martin & Forbes Co. have enjoyed a
very heavy cut of orchids and, what is ■
more satisfactory to them, they have sold
them all up to the last flower. The Rose
Crusader is to be seen here in very good
quality for this time of the year.

Clarke Bros., as usual, find a very heavy
demand for funeral flowers out of town.
The Golden Ophelia Rose this firm is cut-
ting from their Hillsboro place is of ex-
ceptionally fine color and fills a great
want where a yellow Rose is wanted. This
concern also carries the finest stock of
Sweet Peas in the city.

Chappell's report Summer schedules,
and as vacations are in order, the remain-
ing crew are kept out of mischief.

The Holden Floral Co. is showing some
very fine Zinnias and Gladioli. A vase
of Thalictrum, (Meadow Rue), is greatly
admired. This is one flower that will
be more generally cultivated in the fu-
ture.

The advent of the Vice-President of
the United States as visitor, called for
the use of a great many flowers. While
a tea was being held at one of our Port-
land homes, it is said that Gladioli, Gla-
dioli and more Gladioli were sent for the
use of the hostess in the decoration of
the home. It plainly shows that Madam
Gladioli has the field all to herself at
present. In connection, it might be said
that the florists generally did not receive
as much patronage as might be expected
on account of the large quantities of out-
door flowers that were used at all func-
tions. H. N.

firm did what it considered a wonderful business in
flower pots and, from then on, made rapid progress..

Until about 1864 or 186-5, common flower pots,
throughout the world, had always been made on the
wheel by hand. With the introduction of machinery
the output was increased in the proportion of three
to one. when it was thought that perfection had been
reached. Much time, though very little money, had
been spent previous to the fifties in attempts to make
a pot machine. It was left to William Linton, of Bal-
timore, an experienced practical potter, to perfect and
patent the first machine. From him the firm of A. H.
Hews & Co. purchased two machines and the exclu-
sive right to use them in Massachusetts. In a short
time, the firm was able to make great improvements
on the patent. America was far ahead of Europe in
this kind of machinery. It is probably safe to say
that from time immemorial, down to about the year
1S63. flower pots had always been made in one gen-
eral way — by hand, on a potter's wheel.

The first machine made only small pots, up to about
Jin. iu diameter and while It had previously taken
an experienced man ten hours to make 1000 3in. pots,
a smart boy, without any experience whatever, could
make 3000 on the machine in the same time. When
the standard pot was adopted by the Society of Ameri-
can Florists, the hand process was practically aban-
doned in the principal factories in favor of machinery.
Only the larger sizes of pots, from 12in. to 24in. are
still made by hand on the wheel, or on jiggers.

One Hundred Years in One Place

For more than 100 years, the business of A. H.
Hews & Co. was conducted in the same location at
Weston, from where it was removed to Cambridge,
in 1870. The firm was incorporated in 1904. The
early records of the concern show that the principal
articles of manufacture were bean pots, bread and
milk pans and tea pots and that the trade was mostly
barter, exchange for groceries, New England rum,

[fete. In 1869 the firm' manufactured 700,000 flower
(pots, in 1S94 7.000,000 and today nearly four times
K23.000.000) that number. In addition to this enor-

Hmous number of flower pots, it turns out large quan-
tities of jardinieres, cuspidors, umbrella stands, vases.

Burns, jars, pigeon nests, poultry founts, bean pots,
dish covers and many specialties of red earthen ware.
!too numerous to mention.

The Chief Requisite of a Flower Pot

The first and most important requisite for the mak-
jing of a first-class and perfect flower pot is a clay of
Bthe proper quality. The clay pit of A. H. Hews is
situated very near the pottery works. It covers sev-
eral acres and its capacity is figured to last probably
a hundred years more. An immense, substantial. mod-
Hern structure for the storing of the clay, as it is
collected, is situated on one side of the pit and as
much as 200 truck loads of clay are unloaded into
this storehouse in a day when the clay is harvested.
Before the clay is put through the mixing and mold-
ing processes, preparatory to being formed into pots.
lit must be absolutely dry and friable. Therefore
la rainy season like the present is a great aggrava-
tion. When the clay field is properly dried off, trac-
tors, of which there is a whole battery, tear up the
surface and the clay is loaded by machinery into
Targe trucks and taken in front of the storage house.
Here it passes, up an incline, into the building and
in its passage is freed of stones, etc. This building is
well ventilated and the clay has every chance to dry
out thoroughly before it is taken to the factory. At
'the latter the clay goes through a number of grinding
i and mixing machines of great power and is moistened
as required until it reaches the machines which pre-
' pare it for the stamps. When it leaves these machines,
it is a dark slate color, nothing at all like the bright
■red pots which it is going to produce.

The Machine Process

The prepared clay, which is quite plastic, is now
'cut into parcels, each of which will just make one
pot, and is fed into the machine. This is a powerful
instrument, and turns out the pots, completely fin-
ished in "jig" time. A man puts a chunk of clay into
i; the form ; the head comes down, one squeeze, and
|- — presto — the pot is finished. It comes up out of the
form and another man is ready with the tongs to
lift it off, and on to a carrier which whisks it away
i on a board to the drying room. This work goes on at
incredible speed and many machines are busy, each
with a different size or pattern, to turn out pots from
morning till night. The pot machine and the jigger of
i today each can do the work of six or eight men at the
wheel.

To be standard in quality, a pot must be of clay
properly prepared, it must be stamped, so as to be
smooth, inside as well as out, so that the man, stand-
t ing at his bench, potting thousands of plants per
I day, as is being done constantly in large establish-
ments, may have some flesh on his thumbs at night
The tiring, which comes after the drying, must leave

the pots of uniform strength and porosity, a condition
which is ensured by the proper mixing of the clay.
A properly molded and fired pot is able to stand trans-
portation and years of usage if necessary.

Drying and Baking

After the pots are molded they go to the drying
rooms until ready for the kiln. The drying rooms in
■the large six-story factory are of immense capacity
and are always filled to the utmost limit. The pots,
after being sufficiently dried in the drying room, have
to be baked or fired in a heat of 1800 deg., which is a
heat almost as great as is used to melt iron. The
kilns are immense structures, heated from the out-
side, each by six to eight furnaces. The fuel is soft
coal of certain grades and it takes a week before the
kiln is cool enougli to open after the pots have been
baked for 25 hours. There are ten of these monster
kilns in operation, each costing $10,000 and lasting
about ten years before it lias to be replaced by a new
one. In former years, in fact up to 1865, the custom
of using wood for drying the pots and for heating the
kilns still continued. It requires three cords of White
Pine and from 30 to 40 hours of labor to thoroughly
fire a small kiln. Today three tons of bituminous coal
will fire five times as much pottery in 25 hours.

The Wheel Workers

As has been mentioned before, the largest sizes of
flower pots, and also other pottery, are still made by
hand on Che wheel. It is most interesting to watch
one of the expert potters form a large sized pot, an
urn or a vase from a lump of soft clay. He will push
it, pull it and pat it into shape and, in almost less
than no time, turn out an article fit to grace any
room or table. "Jim" is one of these old hands who

We cannot close this sketch without remembering .
Tom Benwell, the traveling agent for- the firm for
New England. He has been with the firm over 50
years and no man is better known among the florist
trade than "Tom," nor better liked and esteemed by
the patrons of the firm. G. Th.

Disseminating Knowledge

While the general run of horticulturists have,
through the ages, been ready to aid others with their-
knowledge — this is demonstrated by the mass of
literature and books which probably never brought
much beyond notoriety in return — there have, never-
theless, always been some who were chary of giving
of their knowledge.

The following originally appeared in the Gardeners'
Chronicle, London, 75 years ago. Nothing better
could be written today :

It has been wisely observed that "Knowledge is
nothing but as it is communicated." By imparting
to others we enrich ourselves. He who waits until
truth receives its due homage from the world, may
wait until the tide of human agency ebbs finally away
for ever, and he who neglects present opportunities
will inevitably be found a loiterer upon the shore
of that vast ocean of truth which lies before him.
They who seek the grounds of their responsibility as
instructors of others, have only to resolve the ques-
tion into one of morar obligation, and from it they
will derive a motive and an impulse to exertion equal
to their highest capacity; though with Newton in in-
tellect, they rise to the investigation of distant worlds,
or with Milton in inspiration, or with Handel in har-
mony, they soar into the third heavens of poetry and

has been at work in this factory for over 50 years.
He handles a lump of clay as if it were a new born
baby, but makes it mind and, presto ! here is your
flower vase in all its daintiness and glory.

When the pots are thoroughly "cooked" they are
taken from the kiln and put away in bins to await
shipment. There are bins everywhere, in many of
them are millions of pots stored away.

The making of pots for the Fall trade starts in
January and it takes some good foresight to specu-
late upon what sizes or styles of goods may be needed
in time to come.

The shipping and packing rooms are on the first
floor, where the railroad tracks are right in front of
the doors. Motor truck bodies are loaded in the ship-
ping room and pushed on the trucks from there. Be-
fore the pots are packed into the crates or boxes every
pot is tested by ringing it for sound and no cracked
pot is allowed to pass the expert, whose ear can de-
tect a fault at once.

The Power House

The engine, boiler and dynamo rooms are very con-
venient, large, airy and scrupulously clean. Water is
obtained from an artesian well 500ft. deep. There is
a large carpenter's shop and also a completely ap-
pointed machine shop in the main building. Great
store rooms are filled with empty crates and hay for
shipping pots and earthenware.

The officers of this grand old firm are Philip Cabot,
president ; Lawrence Hemenway, vice-president, and
Dunbar Lockwood, treasurer, and J. A. Geehan is sales
manager. The company also maintains a warehouse
in Maspeth, L. I., besides the one in Cambridge, Mass.

song. He who has once opened a fountain of truth
can never close it again, and he who is living to
himself is defeating the great end of his existence.
The communication of knowledge constitutes one of
the highest sources of human enjoyment, but they
who revile it in the character and example of others,
know nothing of its regenerating influence in their
own. The preceding remarks are intended as an an-
swer to the oft-recurring question : "Why do you give
away your knowledge by writing in the Chronicle?"
They who are accustomed to complain of other peo-
ple's* liberality, seldom question their own aright, and
probably forget that, though some minds, like small
streams, can afford to lose nothing, there are others
which, like majestic rivers, can impart of their abun-
dance, and remain unimpoverished. — W. Wood, Fish-
ergate Nurseries, York.

An Artistic Rustic Setting for
a Floral Business

••Hs©«

j@^-o..

Something Different in Florists' Shops, Being the Realization of a
Long-Cherished Ambition by One Who Had the Ability and Deter-
mination to Carry Out a Unique Conception

WILMAM L. KORB, who for 28 years now has
conducted a florist establishment at Twenty-
eighth st. and Greenwood ave., Louisville, Ky.,
an excellent suburban district, by the way, was an
interior decorator prior to his entering the floral in-
dustry. He has always had definite ideas as to just
what constitutes an artistic setting for a florist shop,
so when he finally decided to build a new one he had
already studied and planned the matter down to the
minutest details. Being also a handy artisan he was
able to do a considerable portion of the work himself,
so he doesn't count his own time or labor in the cost
of his new shop, which he roughly estimates at about
$1200.

True Log Cabin Construction

This new shop is rustic throughout. It is 33ft. x
33ft.. built of rough chopped logs, slightly notched and
chinked with a mixture of cement, sand and sifted
cinders, in which are sunk boulders that were stained
moss green. Window frames, door frames, etc., are
of a mission or creosote brown, the same as the logs.
The roof, which is of prepared shingles, in moss
green and brown, laid in a zigzag or lightning pattern,
is Sft. higher than the eaves, giving plenty of air
space; a further cooling effect is produced by gable
ventilators. The chimney is built of boulders, in their
natural colors, cemented together, the surface of the
cement having been hand picked while still green.
This boulder work was personally done by Mr. Korb,
who also built the pedestal standing in front of the
shop, and upon which there is a handmade urn,
filled with flowers and trailing vines. The white let-
ters forming the signs on both sides of the building
are also of a rustic or rough design, and are flood
lighted by inverted, hooded lamp brackets. Adjoining
the shop is a 19ft.xl2ft. conservatory, built at the
same time, and in which potted plants are shown.
There are two large greenhouses in the rear, in which
Mr. Korb grows such retail stock as he does not buy.
On the peak of the roof is a birdhouse — also made
in rustic design — with 12 separate apartments. The
exterior of the whole building is fairly complete and
thoroughly uniform in its rustic finish.

Mr. Korb reports that supply men and visiting flo-
• rists have shown considerable interest in his building,
1 and that many motorists from out of the State have
; stopped and looked it over. One woman from North
Dakota asked for a photo, stating that she desired to

have it reproduced as a Summer cottage. Without
doubt there is no other business establishment within
several hundred miles built on the same general
architectural lines.

The show window is 6ft. high by 8ft. wide, and is
not of a single piece of plate glass, but consists of
one large pane surrounded by smaller panes, carry-
ing out a sort of semi Old English idea. The door,
encased in brown framing, is moss green. The wood
trim is all stained, no paint having been used, and
no brush strokes being visible.

Striking Interior Details

Upon entering the shop the real interior designer's
skill becomes even more pronounced. The floor is of
rough sanded or small pebbled cement, inlaid with
tile setting it off in squares. The walls and ceiling
are partly of rough Walnut tree bark, applied as wall
board would be applied: This was secured from a
large sawmill and veneer plant, the logs being
steamed, and the bark peeled off. Half-round strips
of Birch with the bark still on them are used for
paneling and framing the bark.

On the walls are plaques or insets of Birch bark,
framed with half round Birch. The Walnut hark ex-
tends 18in. down the wall from the ceiling, where it
is met by washable paper printed to represent a
woodland scene of giant Beech trees, with the sun-
light playing on an expanse of water and through
the woodlands. The Walnut bark also extends out
over the ceiling for 3%ft. From this point tan bark
glued to the boards with an oxide of iron cement
provides a rich brown ceiling, except in the center
where there is a painted panel depicting cupids at
play. The centerpiece has a border of cured Mag-
nolia leaves and hanging from short wires from points
about the ceiling are imitation butterflies.

The chairs are rustic as is also the work bench,
of which the bottom is covered with Walnut bark,
while the top is a single concrete slab.

The ice box is especially interesting, being made
of rough stucco, in imitation of a piece of limestone,
the top being finished off with boulders set in the
cement while still wet.

Even the clock is of a rustic type, being one of the
so-called cuckoo affairs. About the only ultra modern
effect is found in the lighting fixtures, which are of
the semi-indirect type.

A glance at either of the accompanying views shows

conclusively that some one with an artistic tempera-
ment designed the building, and that a master work-
man carried out the plan. It really represents, more-
over, a fine advertisement for a florist, and may be
the forerunner of many more on the same order, if
the very favorable comments that have been heard
concerning it are any criterion as to what others
may do.

A Successful Designer, Too

Mr. Korb holds the distinction of having won for
four years running, the Kentucky State Fair $25 sil-
ver cup for the best floral design. This year he has
been appointed judge of the floral exhibits, indicating
that he is recognized as an expert.

One comment heard in connection with his new
establishment is to the effect that it was somewhat a
waste of effort to put up such an attractive building
down town, and that the same building in a really
fashionable neighborhood would have attracted far
more attention and business than in the community
in which it is located. However, artistic tempera-
ments are found everywhere, even among shop work-
ers.

Of course, the average florist couldn't duplicate the
building for less than two or three times the price.
Mr. Korb erected the building with a little aid from
a carpenter and one day lahorer. He was fortunate
in discovering a man in Southern Indiana who knew
how to cut logs and put them together, having for-
merly built log houses, numerous corn cribs and other
outbuildings of rough hewn logs. Mr. Korb didn't
have to employ a mason or concrete worker in put-
ting up the chimney, laying the floors, building the
Ice box, etc., as all that work he personally looked
after, with the assistance of a day laborer in mixing
the materials.

Mr. Korb takes a great deal of pride in his new
shop, and is delighted to show it. For one thing, it
represents accomplishment and the working out of a
dream of years. Also there is the fact that his own
mind conceived, and his own hands carried out the
development of the idea, which gives him a full right
to be proud of the results. 0. V. N. S.

Wisdom from a Lady Florist

We have before us clippings from three newspapers
from New Brunswick, N. J., New York City, and
Providence, R. I., respectively each of them is a col-
umn or more in length and two of them are illustrated
with portraits of Miss Irene Hayes, the attractive
proprietress of an uptodate flower shop on Park
ave.. New York City.

Miss Hayes, it seems, has recently returned from
Paris where she went to get ideas as to new floral
fashions but where, if we can judge by the published
interviews with her, she was able to give the retail
florists much more than she was able to receive.
This is not on the whole surprising, for Miss Hayes
appears to have not only the inherent love of flow-
ers that characterizes the successful floriculturist,
but also an extremely capable businesslike mind,
and some exceedingly interesting theories as to the
psychology of flowers and the means in which dif-

ferent sorts can be used to bring about
different results.

One of her interesting ideas is that
there are the right flowers for saying spe-
cific things just as there are the right
words, without which the full force of
an argument, plea, excuse or promise is
more or less of a failure. Valuable sug-
gestions to the housewife upon how to
decorate the dinner table so as to create
the happiest atmosphere for the homecom-
ing spouse are part of her trade equip-
ment; as are also highly practical sugges-
tions as to just what sort of flower the
aspiring young man should select as a gift
under whatever varying conditions and
circumstances he may be tendering them.
Miss Hayes graciously says that "Men are
getting to be as tasteful in flower selection
as women." And she cites one man in
particular — an artist "who pays as much
care in finding the right flower for_ a
woman as he does in choosing the precise
color of his canvas."

This sort of idea generously distributed
where it will catch the eye of the pros-
pective purchaser is certainly going to
direct an increasing stream of trade
toward the door of Miss Hayes' establish-
ment. We do not know who Miss Hayes'
press agent is; we are not at all sure that
she is in need of assistance in this direc-
tion, but we certainly foresee for her an
even greater success and popularity among
flower buyers in New York City than al-
ready seems to have been her lot.

A Flower Loving Highlander

The honor of being numbered among
the friends of Col. Walter Scott of the
Scots Highlanders of New York and Bos-
ton is treasured highly by Messrs. Henry
and William Penn of the latter city, for
the colonel is one of this world's noble-
men. A man who loves his brothers and
takes delight in doing good unseen and un-
heard. Never is there one of the big
holy days that he does not send flowers
to the inmates of Charleston Jail and oth-
er institutions, and on numerous other
occasions, similar acts of his liberal and
kind hand are evident.

Col. Scott, on Aug. 5, led the parade
of the Scots Highlanders on their way
to the Caledonian picnic at Norumbega
park. All the way he carried a bunch of
Gladioli — a donation from Perm's — tied
with the Royal Stewart ribbon of his
own elan, which ribbon he is keeping in
honor of and a remembrance of the event.
The parade stopped in front of Penn's, on
Tremont St., for fully ten minutes as it
does every year and the pipes and drums
gave a serenade that touched the heart
strings of all bystanders.

Trade Notes

Aug. 15. — Trade has revived con-
siderably during the week due, perhaps,
to the presence in the city of about 15,-
000 Veterans of Foreign Wars in atten-
dance at their annual convention, many
of them being feted and entertained by
various clubs and private individuals.
There has also been quite a heavy run on
funeral work.

The B. E. Hammond wholesale house
reports out of the city trade also much
brisker. There is a fairly good supply of
cut blooms, with the exception of Car-
nations which are scarce. The Lace Flow-
er and dark blue annual Larkspur of fine
quality is being received from C. E. Ben-
son, Kirkland. Very good Asters from
'the Crystal Springs Greenhouses, and ex-
cellent Sweet Peas and African Mari-
golds from A. D. Malet, Houghton, Wash.

What is claimed to be the most uptodate
installment of refrigerating machinery,
with electrical operation on the Pacific
Coast, has just been erected in conjunc-
tion with the refrigerator of the B. E.
Hammond Co., by the Corbin Refrigerator
Co. of Seattle; it is 1% ton capacity and
practically silent in operation.

News Notes

A very popular and promising
young member of the staff of Woodlawn
Flower Shop, Harold Hemmingway, died
at the age of 20 on Sunday, Aug. 13 very
suddenly, due to heart failure caused by
blood poisoning. He was the tallest mem-
ber of the trade in the city, being 6ft. 4in.
in height.

who were also on vacation, giving them a

Dr. Walter Moore of Hollywood Gar-

pletion of re-decorating, the interior of
the Hollywood store has been entirely re-
arranged. A special table display of va-
rious artware containers with floral ar-
rangements demonstrating correct artis-
tic methods of displaying flowers on vari-
ous social occasions, is being carried out
by Sam Dunlap and Will Holmes.

Kenney's Home of Flowers through Mrs.

to learn that friend Will has to suffer

ing reported last week.

Alf Myers, formerly a member of the

E. Sandell, who has been in the retail

ing a 100ft. x21ft. house to be devoted to
Sweet Peas on Greenwood ave.

Jim Forbes, florist of Portland, stopped

He is on his way to Vancouver, B. C,

Will Goldsbarry, representative of the

business, and says in every section he vis-
ited, he found florists very optimistic and
buying freely, especially novelties.

The Broadway Floral Co., A. Le Gross,
proprietor, is increasing its glass area by
the erection of two new 100ft.x21ft.
houses, making it the most uptodate and
largest plant in the city.

F. Sullivan, Park and Cemetery Super-
intendent is clearing and has _ partly
planted ten acres of land adjoining the
cemetery, . with the intention of handling
it as an uptodate nursery. A propagat-
ing house 60ft.x21ft. and a plant house
100ft. x21ft. is planned in connection, the
former being nearly completed at time of
my visit. Mr. Sullivan's son. Jack, is
taking hold of the work in this proposi-
tion.

The finest specimen Picea pungens Kos-
teri, Cupressus Lawsoniana Allumii, C.
Laws, Triumph van Boskoop, Chamcecy-
paris obtusa and Retinospora plumosa
aurea I have seen for some years, were
noted in the cemetery grounds and are the
results of Mr. Sullivan's lavish care and
I might truly add, love.

Florists' Meeting

The usual monthly meeting of the
Seattle Florists Association was held at
the Italian Commercial Club on Monday-
evening, Aug. 14, Vice President Harry
Crouch in charge. Close to 50 members
were present which, considering that vaca-
tion time is the rule, was a very satisfac-
tory muster. Formal business was not
touched upon; the arrangements and fin-
ishing touches in connection with the
annual picnic to be held at Grange Park,
Enumclaw, Wash., on Aug. 20, engaged the
attention of the members until a late
hour.

At time of writing these notes the first
annual Gladioli show of the Seattle
Gladioli Society is being staged, a report
on the trade exhibits and novelties noted
will be forwarded for next week.

The Market

Market conditions have not
changed much in past month. Most of
the retailers seem to think the real Sum-
mer dullness is over, and many are re-
turning from their vacations.

There seems to be a good supply of
stock with the exception of greens, which
are short. The outdoor flowers are com-
ing in in a great variety, the growers
seem to have paid more attention to
this the present season. The stores are
showing Centaureas, Gaillardias. Snap-
dragon, Calendulas, African Marigolds,
Zinnias, Delphiniums and Sweet Peas.
In Gladioli, some choice stock is now
coming in as well as a plentiful supply
of the commoner varieties. While the
wholesale price is one cent lower than
a year ago, there does not seem to be an
oversupply. Retail prices are about the
same, ranging from $1.50 to $2.50 per
doz.

Good Roses are scarce, the shorter
grades being about all there are coming
in. A few Asters appeared in the mar-
ket this week, one store showing some
nice stock of Pink Beauty, a beautiful
rose pink with full center.

Counter trade showed an increase the
past week. Ferns are now moving a little,
which is a good sign that people are
getting back from the lakes and looking
for apartments and generally getting set-
tled for the Winter.

News Notes

The Spokane Florist Co. are nice-
ly settled in their new store ; they have
large window space, both on Howard st.
and Sprague ave., which they plan to
use to an advantage. The interior is in
ivory as well as the fixtures. AVhile they
have less space than in the old store,
they have a full basement with ample
storage space.

Elmer Wick, of this store, has just
returned from a vacation spent at Deer
Lake. He reports good luck fishing.

The Crescent Flower Shop reports
Summer business ahead of last year.
Mrs. Coldwell has just returned from a
three weeks' vacation, part of time be-
ing spent at the Lake.

Jack Burt has purchased a cottage at
Newman Lake, and together with his
family, has been spending considerable
time there during the hot weather.

Hoyt Bros. Co. are featuring Gladioli,
their immense cut being brought in each
morning. On entering the store, one
finds Gladioli on every hand. They are
cutting heavy of the newer and choicer
varieties now, so that it's not hard for
the customer to carry out any color
scheme they want in Gladioli alone.
Wholesale and out of town shipping
helps to take care of the surplus stock.
Asa Parker, of the store force, recently
returned from a two weeks' auto trip
to Coast, which included a trip to Sea-
side, Ore., returning via the Columbia
Highway.

Business at The Davenport Flower
Shop, according to the manager, Louis
Mark, is on the increase. The past week
several wedding and social orders were
booked.

are building a modern house, which will
add considerably to their growing space.

The new firm, of Potter & Meyer, have
their houses well under way ; two houses
will be built this year, and they have
them already to glaze and mostly planted
up to Carnations and 'Mum stock. They
have ample room for growing outside
stock, most of the soil being sub-irri-
gated, with plenty of room to build. With
modern equipment and the determination
to produce good stock, these two hustlers
should become important factors in the
production line.

During a recent visit to the Spokane
Greenhouses work seemed to be pro-
gressing nicely with stocks in fine con-
dition. Cyclamen of which this firm
grows no small amount, were being re-
potted and were in fine shape. Young
Rose stock was in the pink of condi-
tion, but only a small crop at present.
This firm specializes in palms, ferns, and
other decorative plants. The medium
and smaller sizes in palms are scarce,
hardly any stock being obtainable ; it is
predicted that ferns of some varieties
and other decorative plants, will be on
short side. This firm recently made a
shipment of Rubber plants to the Coast,
which is more proof that Spokane is
rapidly going ahead in the production
and shipping of greenhouse stock.

Inexpensive Wreath Combinations

By VINCENT BEEKMAN

Anyone having heard Mas Schling talk
on color combinations, knows that very few
colors exist that cannot be used together
artistically, providing one has the right
touch. Of course, we are not all Schlings,
but too often, I fear, the florist is in-
clined to use the old conventional white,
pink, purple and lavender and forget
some of the much more beautiful and strik-
ing combinations.

The decorated Magnolia wreath shown
herewith is an example of such color work.
The Roses are Sunburst and the contrast-
ing flowers are the dark blue Chinese
Larkspur. The ribbon matches the Roses
and the whole shows up well against the
rich gloss of the Magnolia leaves.

It makes a design that is impressive and
rich and one capable of demanding a good
price and yet the real cost of making was

Wreath of Magnolia leaves "over-
dressed" with Carnations and Aspara-
gus. Figure the cost of material and
compare with the other

small. How much better, a large piece
like this, than a small jumbled wreath of
mixed flowers, which costs far more to
make and looks much inferior.

In contrast to this is the large Magnolia
wreath decorated with Carnations; this
takes twice as many flowers and looks
only half as well. The designer could
have made a much more effective piece if
he had put the flowers so that they faced
the observer rather than being pointed
down at the floor. The ribbon, too,
would have been more gracefully ar-
ranged if a simple bow had been used at
the top rather than being so conspicuous.

Perhaps you, Mr. Florist, have your own
ideas about how such a style wreath
should be made up. If so, we would be
glad to hear from you and to reproduce
any photographs that clearly show the
design and material.

Air Plane Spraying in England Now

From the Air Service Bulletin we learn
that the successful attempt to dust by
airplane an insect ridden Catalpa grove
in Ohio last Summer has been duplicated
in Kent, England. A prominent fruit
farmer there having appealed for aid to
a commercial aviation concern, the latter
provided a De Haviland 9 plane, which
first landed near the farm and took aboard
half a ton of spray powder. Then, flying
at a height of 15 to 20 yards above the
trees, it distributed the poison over an
orchard that was severely infested with
caterpillars. Fifty acres were "sprayed"
in half an hour, and so successfully that
other local growers are investigating the
cost of the work with a view to following
suit on their own plantations.

Lavender as a Florists' Novelty

Generally speaking, Sweet Lavender
(Lavandula), is not made so much of by
florists as it might be. Everyone loves the
odor of Lavender, although many owe
their knowledge of it to the distillate
rather than the natural flower. Some
know it through the purchase of sachets
filled with the dried blossoms, but, in a
general way, it is only the old fashioned
people or those who have traveled in
Europe, who actually know the plant and
it's spikes of bloom as they actually grow.

We over here know nothing of the
peddler of "Sweet Bloomin' Lavender, 16
branches a penny," one' of the famous
cries of old London, but now little heard,
although Mitcham, on the outskirts of
Loudon, is still noted for its Lavender
fields. Their crop, however, is largely
distilled so that it is probably from other
centers, including private gardens, that
the dried flowers are now-a-days procured.

In northeastern United States one prac-
tically never sees it growing, not even in
nurseries. But Henry A. Dreer always
features it and we have seen it flourish-
ing in one or two old fashioned New Jer-
sey gardens. Even in California it has
not, to our knowledge, been planted as a
commercial crop.

Actually, it affords no difficulty. It is
hardy — some forms more so than others
perhaps — and all have more or less of
the characteristic odor. With the advent
of newer varieties previously referred to
in The Exchange there is every reason
why all florist growers should attempt to
grow a few plants. True the new forms
may not reach America for years, but

there are plenty of the older forms avail-
able and it is not at all difficult to raise
a stock from seed.

The best method of propagation, how-
ever, is by cuttings, especially when one
desires a particular type. Cuttings taken
off in Spring or Fall root readily and a
frame is sufficient protection during the
first Winter. To develop strong plants it
is advisable to clip them over the first
year to prevent flowering; they are pre-
cocious bloomers and every little scrap
will be inclined to bloom in its season.
August is the usual time for L. vera, L.
spiea, the more common species, but the
dwarfer L. pubescens and one or two oth-
ers flower in June.

Grown on rich ground and given abun-
dance of lime, L. vera will make bushes
5ft. through and produce sheaves of
spikes which require no preserving beyond
tying in bunches and drying in an open
shed or room. In Prance and other
places where it is grown for perfume
making, the cutting is done while the dew
is on the plants and the distilling is done
at once, but for drying purposes the flow-
ers are best picked dry.

We are prompted to make these re-
marks through the receipt of two Laven-
der posies from the Posy Shop, Fort St.,
Victoria, B. C. Presumably the flowers
were grown in that region and, judging
by the length of the stems, the variety
Vera is represented. One of these posies
contains about three dozen stems, the
flowers being enveloped in fine cotton
gauze of a mauve shade. The other is
more elaborately gotten up and doubtless
represents a novelty that is in great favor
among lady patrons. The flowers are
stripped off the stems and enclosed in
gauze. Then around a small stick are
grouped two or three dozen bare stems
which are then bent over and brought
down to entirely inclose the gauze cov-

ered flower. Narrow lilac ribbon is next
threaded between the stems, basket pat-
tern, from top to bottom, a bow at each
end giving the necessary finish. As will
be seen from the accompanying illustra-
tion, the finished article takes the form of
a small club or a baby's rattle. Decidedly
dainty is this novelty and likely to be
in great request for enclosing in handker-
chief or glove boxes, as it is a change
from the ordinary sachet usually found in
florists and other stores.

The Market

Aug. 22. — A large supply and an
extremely small demand continue as the
leading features in the wholesale cut
flower market. The arrivals, too, are
made up of about the same kind of flow-
ers, both from under glass and from
outside, as last week. There appears to
be more than enough flowers to satisfy
the demand for even the less popular
sorts.

There are larger arrivals of American
Beauty Roses, but no corresponding in-
crease in the demand. Special grade
blooms are selling at 15c. to 30c. each
in general, and the other grades at pro-
portionate prices. The arrivals of other
Roses, too, are increasing, but the de-
mand for them is weak. Top grade
blooms are bringing $3 to $S per 100 in
general, but Key of that grade is realiz-
ing $30. No. 2 grade blooms are fetch-
ing 50c. to $1 per 100.

No Carnations, as far as we have ob-
served, from new plants are coming into
the wholesale market. Certainly they are
not needed at this time.

The arrivals of Cattleyas, and the de-
mand for them, are both small. Prices
range from .$1 to $1.50 each, and occa-
sionally to $2 for choice hybrids. There is
a large supply of white Lilies, which
are meeting with a moderately good de-
mand at $10 to $15 per 100, and a small
supply of rubrum Lilies which are mov-
ing out very slowly at from $5 to $8 per

All kinds of greens are meeting with
a small demand in sympathy with the
present conditions of the market.

Lily of the Valley is on the short side,
and for that reason, rather than because
of a strong demand, prices range from
$2 to $6 per 100. There is an increasing
supply of Gardenias, which are moving
out slowly at from $1 to $2 per doz.

Asters and Gladioli continue the lead-
ing.features in outdoor flowers. Prices
of these in general range from 50c. to
$1 per 100, but a few choice blooms
bring $1.50 to $2. Bouvardia Humboldtii
is certainly a drug on the market, and
although it is offered at as low a price as
15c. a bunch, much of it has to be
thrown away.

Among other miscellaneous flowers we
note a little Gypsophila at 5c. a bunch,
Cosmos at 5c. to 10c, Feverfew and
Marigolds at 10c. and Zinnias at 5c. to
10c. Dahlias are meeting with a very
weak demand at 50c. to $1 per 100 in
general, but there are a few choice
blooms of the preferred varieties which
are commanding a .price of $1 per doz.
A few Northern grown Sweet Peas of ex-
cellent quality are seen, but they meet
with little demand at $1 per 100. Be-
sides these we note some Larkspur, a
little Buddleia, and some other odds and
ends, which it is useless to send into
the market under the present conditions.

Pertinent and Personal

Monday, Sept. 4, will as usual be
observed as Labor Day. Thereafter there
will be a heavy influx into the city of
those who are now summering in different
parts of the country, and before Septem-
ber is over New York City will again
have its normal population. This is
looked forward to by the local florists with
a reasonable hope and expectation of a
resumption of active business in their
line, but probably not till mid-October
will the flower business here get into

approximately full swing. At the present
writing, the volume of the New York
trade, compared with the Winter's busi-
ness, is extremely small, and a large num-
ber of the proprietors and employees of
the florist stores, taking advantage of
these conditions, are now on their vaca-
tions.

Prof. C. L. Thayer of the Massachusetts
Agricultural College, Amherst, Mass., has
been invited to give his address on "Ad-
vantage of a Floricultural Training," this
Fall or Winter, before the New York
Florists Club.

Emil Schloss of Schloss Bros., Ribbons
Inc., and family, are summering at Fort
Trumbull Beach, Milford, Conn., where
they have been accustomed to spend the
Summer months for many years. A. L.
Marks, manager of this company, and
Mrs. Marks have planned to leave the
city on a vacation about Sept. 1. A long
automobile trip will be the feature of
their vacation.

Henry Luhrs, manager for Myer, 611
Madison ave., and his family are summer-
ing at Poughquag, N. Y., and Maurice
Kleinman, buyer tor Myer, will spend his
vacation in his new auto, making a trip
north and through Canada.

All the booths in the 18th st. wholesale
flower market will soon be occupied again.
Only two were vacant, namely, those
formerly occupied by George G. Poly-
kranas and Clarence Slinn respectively.
These, we are informed, have both been
leased and will be opened for business in
early September.

Charles Fortnan, manager of the supply
department of the Henshaw Floral Co.,
43 West 18th St., is back from Kansas
City, Mo., where his department made a
large exhibit at the S. A. F. convention.
Mr. Forman reports that the exhibit at-
tracted much attention, especially the
Rainbow Rubber Mats, the Baynor Cut-
lery and the Springfield Carnation Food.
The pottery display also was highly com-
mended by those who saw it. Consider-
able good business was booked, and a
number of agents were appointed as dis-
tributors of the mats and the Carnation
food. A. M. Henshaw, president of the
company, who also attended the convention,
is motoring back East with Wallace R.
Pierson of Cromwell, Conn., and is ex-
pected to reach New York City Friday
Aug. 25. The Newark branch of this
company will open at 80 New st., Newark,
N. J., on Sept. 1. This branch will provide
the large and lively city of Newark with
an active and progressive wholesale flower
store.

We are glad to see Samuel C. Gilbert,
the orchid specialist of 43 West 18th st.,
back at his place of business, after a two
weeks' illness. In calling on him we
could not help but note some fine Northern
grown Sweet Peas, of which the quality-
was unusually good for late August. We
also noted some of the best Dahlias we
have seen in the wholesale market.

H. E. Froment, 43 West 18th st., is
taking a well earned vacation at Lake
Placid, N. Y., where he has passed his
vacation of several former years. He is
a great admirer of the lake and its en-
vironment.

Joseph Evelich, who went to Europe
about three months ago to visit his aged
father, who is threatened with blindness,
returned to this country on Friday, Aug
18, on the S. S. President Wilson.

A. H. Langjahr of Jamaica, L. I., who
fell and broke his ankle on 42d St., about
tfi Y^eeks a8K> and llad to be taken to the
St Mary's Hospital in Jamaica, is now
at his home and, we are pleased to report,
making satisfactory progress toward re-
covery. But he says he lias been laid up
so long that he is having to learn to walk
again.

The New York Daily Glole of Aug. 9

to Count Edmund Alphonse de Jiminez.

Bits from Brooklyn Borough

Bonnet & Blake, 130 Livingston, st.,
Brooklyn, will move into new quarters at
3S2 Jay st. about Sept. 1. Chris. Bonnet
of this firm returned from his vacation on
Aug. 7, he and his family having spent
most of the time in the Catskill Moun-
tains, N. Y. George Blake, his partner,
is now taking a month's vacation motoring
with his family through Northern New
York and Canada.

Calling at Wm. H. Kuebler's, 28 Wil-
loiighby st., Brooklyn, recently, we found
William and his brother Louis both on
the job; notwithstanding that it is Mid-
summer, both of them were as cheerful
and optimistic about business as usual.

Edward J. McCarthy, manager for
•James Wier, Inc., 324 Fulton st., told us
during a recent call that they were rea-
sonably busy attending to cut flower and
funeral orders, and that he had no com-
plaint to make of the volume of business,
considering we were in the month of
August.

J. V. Philips, 272 Fulton st. and 7
Clinton st., was not in when we called
at his place of business last week, but his
manager was there and told us that busi-
ness for Midsummer was reasonably good.
William Philips is taking week-end vaca-
tions this year, instead of one holiday in
a solid block.

The Special Twelve Day Tour
De Luxe

As these notes are written (Aug. 21)
the members comprising- the personally
conducted party from New York which
attended the S. A. F. convention in Kansas
City are enjoying the homeward bound
trip through the Great Lakes, aboard the
palatial steamer "Juanita." According
to schedule they have now arrived at
Mackinac Island and are drinking in the
beauties of that famous resort.

To begin at the beginning: The party,
headed by the genial Mr. Tinsman of the
Lackawanna Railroad, left New York on
Sunday, Aug. 13, arriving in Chicago the
following day, where a sightseeing trip
was provided in and about the city. The
Santa Fe Railroad transported the dele-
gates from thence to Kansas City, where
they arrived on schedule time the follow-
ing morning, and here made the Hotel
Muehlebach headquarters for the three
days the S. A. F. convention was in ses-
sion. Let it be said that the meals served
en route were "fit for a king." We have
the train menus before us and as our eye
travels over the numerous items, we smack
our lips — yes, there's broiled squab and
turkey. And to make things even more
homelike, A. M. Albrecht, florist of Cleve-
land, provided flowers to add to the en-
joyment of the noon meal on board the
train from Buffalo to Chicago.

On Friday afternoon, Aug. 18, the dele-
gates waved farewell to Kansas City. St.
Paul, Minn., was their next stopping place.
Here they were to be entertained by the
local florists, coupled with sightseeing and
other diversions. On Aug. 19 they were
due at Duluth, and it was here the Great
Lakes steamer trip was to begin, with
stops to be made at Houghton, Sault Ste.
Marie, Mackinac Island, Detroit and
Cleveland.

They were due in Buffalo on Aug. 23,
and before boarding the train for home,
where they are due Thursday, Aug. 24,
0.42 a.m., the grand finale will consist of
a side trip to Niagara.

We can heartily agree with one of tliei
statements contained in the specially got-
ten up program of this Tour de Luxe:
"The tonic of the air in the region of the
Great Lakes makes one feel like living
a hundred years." We hope every member
in the party will feel that way and will '
"live as long as they feel."

Retail Notes

Aug. 19. — Coming back from the
convention Saturday afternoon, I made
a call at the various flower shops and •
found that there was very little business;
one party said that it seemed that they
had to depend on the misfortunes of
others to get expenses out of the business.
It is not from lack of good flowers as
there are plenty of good Gladioli and ex-
ceptionally fine Asters are to be had along
with fairly good Roses. Perhaps if out- I
door stock were not so plentiful, there
would be more business in the stores.

Growers Active

Growers are on the job day and night
and are hoping that there will not be too
many repetitions of the glut we have
just passed through, the coming Winter.
There is very little coal in the bins but
the soft coal burners are. feeling optimis-
tic over their end of the situation. Un-
fortunately, we have quite a few burn-
ers of hard coal who bank their fires for
the night and do not employ a night man;
this not being practical with soft coal
makes their situation a harder proposi-
tion, and it looks as if it would be an ex-
pensive one this Winter, as it will take
more than government requests to keep the
prices on anthracite from going skyward.

Convention Ideas

The writer and his wife w^re the
only representatives at the convention
from this section and to be truthful, there
did not seem to be too many from the
whole State. It seems a pity that we can-
not get a better representation at these
national meetings; possibly if we could
have a week's session the latter part of
January and have the S. A. F., the Rose
Society, the Carnation Society, the F. T.
D. and other branches all meet that week,
it would work out into the biggest con-
vention in a business way this country
ever saw. Albert M. Hebb.

The Market

Aug. 22.— With the S. A. F." con-
vention now only a matter of record, it
is according to established precedent to
anticipate better market conditions. The
convention week has somehow been re-
garded as the turning point from Sum-
mer inactivity to that nimbleness that
usually characterizes the opening of Au-
tumn business. If the convention week
has been better or worse than in seasons
past, there is no record of it. That it
was a week of poor business, no one will
deny and the reputation this particular
week is associated with, will inevitably
stick for some more years to come ; this
fact is generally conceded.

The present conditions have no ten-
dency to promote to business of flower
selling. The extreme heat of the past
week, the absence from the city of thou-
sands of householders, and social occa-
sions in which the use of flowers are an
important feature being practically off
for the time being, causes the flower
business to lag. Then there is, besides,
an overproduction in some lines of stock
notably in poor Asters and Gladioli. In
all other lines there is sufficient outlet
for all, when quality is not lacking. In
fact, there are some items such as or-
chids and Valley that are difficult to ob-
tain even for the limited demand there
is for them.

The business of the present week has
so far shown no indications of superior-
ity over the one just passed. There is
slightly less stock in the predominant
items, but as the demand shows no ma-
terial improvement, conditions are not
altered much.

It is just a mere tendency toward bet-
ter conditions. The supply of Gladioli
while still overwhelming is not as large
as it was two weeks ago, and there is a
gradual diminution in the daily consign-
ments. It may be said that the peak of
the season has passed, but there will be
Gladioli until the frost comes. There
is some fine stock offered and it may be
well for the growers to remember that

it is only the fine stock that is bringing
anything like satisfactory returns this
season. With poor Gladioli selling at
50c. per 100, the man who grows better
stock that brings $3, $4 and $5 per 100
is that many times better off. There is
some fancy stock that brings much more,
but every grower cannot have all fancy
stock ; it is subjected to a process of
grading and elimination at the same
time. Some unusually fine Scbwaben
was seen the past week ; this brought
fancy prices.

The Aster supply differs but little
from that of the Gladioli. There is an
abundance of poor stock while there is
but a limited supply of quality flowers.
There is an improvement in the Rose
supply and the quality is gradually bet-
tering. A few more Carnations are com-
ing in and the quantity of these will be
on the increase as the season goes on.
Cosmos, one of the first of the early Fall
flowers has made its appearance. Some
Easter Lilies are to be had all the time.
Summer flowers are passing, but there
are Tritomas, Zinnias, Celosias and Hy-
drangea panieulata grandiflora. A few
Dahlias are occasionally seen, but these
have never been a feature of the Chicago
market, nor are they grown so well or
as extensively her as in the Eastern
States. There is plenty of everything in
greens.

News Notes

P. W. Peterson, of Joliet, was in
the city Monday coming up to purchase
some necessities for the business of the
Chicago Carnation Co. He states that
regardless of the labor trouble in his
home town, business has kept up good.
There was no Summer dullness.

The Eastern delegation returning from
the convention at Kansas City who spent
several hours in Chicago between trains
Saturday, were loud in the praise of Ed.
Winterson's brand of hospitality. Ed.
can always be relied on to do whatever
may be thought or spoken of at the psy-
chological moment.

London's Flower Shop iwill be one of
the leading institutions in its particular
line in our beautiful suburb, Evanston,
after Sept. 1. Chas. London, for many
years connected with the retail trade
there, will open an up to the minute
flower shop at 1721 Sherman ave. on
date specified.

The Henry A. Dreer Co., Philadelphia.,
Pa., have on exhibition in the store win-
dows of the Chicago Wholesale Cut
Flower Growers Association, a sample
line of Kentia palms in various sizes.
There is, besides, some sample plants of
Areeas, Aspidistras, and Ficus. Jas. J.
Kairns, the popular representative of
this house, is in charge of the exhibit.

Chas. Erne, of Erne & Co., has gone
for a two weeks' vacation. He left no
word as to his destination. Aug. Bar-
nett will take care of the business dur-
ing the absence of his employer, as he
has done before so well on former occa-
sions.

Frank Gorley, of Grimm & Gorley, St.
Louis, returned from the convention with
the Chicago delegation Saturday and
will remain at the Edgewater Beach

Hotel for ten days before returning to
St. Louis. As a Summer resort Chicago
has many allurements for St. Louisians.

E. L. Weaver and wife, manager of
the Randolph McClements Co.. Pitts-
burgh, Pa., who has been spending their
vacation in and around Chicago, returned
Sunday to their home city. The trip
was made by auto.

C. C. Pollworth and wife passed
through the city Saturday returning
from the convention, on their way to
their home city, Milwaukee. Mr. Poll-
north believes that at uo very distant
date Milwaukee will once more be the
convention city.

The Pageant of Progress Exposition
closed at midnight Sunday, Aug. 20. It
was continued one week" over time to
make amends for the loss in attendance
during the opening week on account of
the street car strike. Thursday, Aug. 17,
was Uptown Chicago Day when every
lady entering the exhibition was pre-
sented with a handsome stalk of Glad-
ioli. Twenty thousand spikes were dis-
tributed that day, but. it made no dent in
the wholesale market.

Max George, of the Zech & Mann sales
force, has the sympathy of friends on
the death of his father, Aug. 21. Otto
Goerish, also of the Zeeh & Mann force,
left Sunday for a two weeks' vacation
to be spent in the neighborhood of Du-
luth, Minn.

Pittsburgh, Pa.

The Market

In talking to Mr. Clark of the
Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., I remarked
that business was worse than it had been
for years; he took exception to my state-
ment and adding that it was not the busi-
ness but the fact that there was so much
stock on the market that it had no value.
Prices were so low that even with the
vast quantities moved, you had nothing
to show for it or your hard work. And
when you get down to cold facts, it is
about the truth, as never before were
there so many outdoor flowers. Every
mail brings letters to the wholesale
houses from people wanting to ship
Gladioli and Asters; some do not even
write, but ship without saying anything,
and then when they get their report they
are sore and think they have been done.
Some bring them into town and peddle
them direct to the retailer, and while I
do not blame a man for buying where he
can get the best values, still it does not
look right, for the man who sells direct
is not usually a grower of cut flowers and
does not depend on flowers for a living.
Probably a farmer who has a few Sum-
mer flowers planted as a side line and who
does not know the value of them, while
the man who makes his living from grow-
ing flowers and whom the whole trade must
depend on during the Winter for their
supply, is left out in the cold during the
time that the farmers' stock is in crop.

The supply of Roses has been unusually
heavy for this season of the year and the
quality has been wonderfully good. Lilies
are in short supply and are one item that
clean up well.

The first of the new crop of Carnations
arrived last week and they were fairly
good, but they did not bring much, due
to the low price of Asters. Delphinium
is selling well and the supplies are heavy;
some of the growers are now cutting their
second crop.

The supply of Southern plumosus is top
heavy and some of it has been dumped.

News Notes

George C. McCallum of The McCal-
lum Co. was in Buffalo last week attend-

ing the opening of the firm's latest branch,
while Mr. Cooper, manager of the Supply
Department was in charge of the firm's
exhibit at the S. A. F. Convention at Kan-
sas City.

Arthur Hall of the A. W. Smith Flower
Stores Co. is spending his1 vacation at At-
lantic City.

Sewickley Dahlia Show

The Sewickley Dahlia Show, an an-
nual affair, will take place this year,
Sept. 27, 28, 29 under the auspices of
the Horticultural Society and the Garden
Clubs of Allegheny County. The exhibi-
tion will be held in Guildhall, Sewickley.
Among the professional exhibitors will be
Mrs. Henry R. Rea, Mrs. J. Denniston
Lyon, Mrs. William Thaw, Jr., Mrs. Alex-
ander Laughlin, Jr., Mrs. William Penn
Snyder, Mrs. Robert Milligan, Mrs. H. Lee
Mason, Mrs. James B. Oliver and Mrs. E.
A. Woods. The amateur exhibitors will
be Miss Winifred Jones, Mrs. J. E. Umb-
straeter, Mrs. T. H. B. McKnight, Mrs.
F. F. Brooks and Miss Ethel Christy. The
rules for the professional and amateur
Dahlia growers are that the amateur must
do all of the work necessary to raise the
flowers, except the spading; the profes-
sional growers may have the work done
by gardeners.

Interesting events during the show will
be classes each day for table decorating.
There will be classes for professional gar-
deners, amateur decorators and florists.
The classes are open to members of the
Allegheny garden clubs only. The tables
are to be arranged for six, marked by-
plates only, the exhibitors to furnish their
own table covers and accessories. The
Dahlias may be used in connection with
foliage or other flowers, but some Dahlias
must be used.

At past garden shows, two cups were
awarded and many medals, including a
bronze medal from the Garden Club of
America, and two from the Dahlia So-
ciety of America. Cash prizes have also
been awarded by members of the garden
clubs and those interested in the contests;
also by flower firms making a specialty of
Dahlias.

Many social events are being planned
for the week of the show.

Gas Engine Brings Industrial
Change

A complete economic change has taken
place in the petroleum industry in the
years intervening between 1906 and 1922,
according to a statement made by R. L.
Welch, secretary of the American Petro-
leum Institute, before the Senate Com-
mittee on Manufactures, "which is con-
ducting an inquiry into the oil situation.

Next to the remarkable growth of the
industry itself during that period — from
a gasoline production of about 8,000,000
barrels in 1906 to an indicated produc-
tion of 140,000,000 barrels this year— the
most noteworthy feature has been the
astonishing spread of the independent
interests.

For example, in 1906, the independent
refining capacity was only about 10 per
cent of the total; at present it is about
63 per cent in the United States alone
and 66 per cent in this country and
Mexico combined.

"The key to this profound change,"
Mr. Welch told the committee, "is the de-
velopment of the internal combustion
engine."

The Market

Aug". 22. — It is not giving away any
secrets if one tells another that the situ-
ation -in the wholesale market remains
about the same as it has been for some
weeks past, which means that of almost
every kind of flower, the arrivals are far
ahead of the demand. Now, doesn't this
convey to one's mind that the market is
"bum?" There was a wee flicker of life,
last Friday and Saturday, on account of a
very important funeral, which called for
great quantities of Roses, orchids, Valley,
Asters and Gladioli, not to mention a
variety of minor stock. With the excep-
tion of American Beauty, orchids and
Valley, all the requirements were easily
filled from local sources.

The weather has been on good behavior.
Nice sunny days, not too hot, a shower
now and then, and the nights just cool
enough to let a man sleep and forget his
troubles. Of course, conditions like this
are ideal for the man with a million or
so of dollars: he does not have to care a
hoot whether a buyer ever comes into the
wholesale flower market. It's the boys
who have to hang out in the silent halls
from morning until five in the evening
who do the kicking.

Roses are less plentiful than a short
while ago; one or two growiug establish-
ments have stopped shipments altogether,
and very few long stemmed blooms are
arriving. The supply is mostly from new-
ly planted stock, and the flowers are small.
American Beauty, of which not many are
to be had, sell very slowly and bring from
2e. to 25e. or. 30c. Lucky the man who is
able to get the latter price for a few
dozen. He will talk about it for a week.
Other Roses sell at almost any figure, and
the latter depends on what the buyer sees
fit to offer, which means that there are
some wonderful bargains. The new An-
gelus is on trial, being offered from sev-
eral sides. It is too early yet to say
much about this variety. Red Roses are
scarce and average a cent or two higher
than other colors.

The supply of Gladioli seems to be fall-
ing off a trifle, but there are plenty to
spare yet. For the common and least de-
sirable varieties, six to eight dozen for a
dollar is the rule, with many lots being
sold for less. America, Europa, Lily
White, Pendleton, Miss Helen Franklin,
Mrs. Dr. Norton, Schwaben, Peace and
other conspicuously fine sorts realize as
much as from 40c. to 60e. per doz.

The supply of Asters is at its height.
While there is considerable poor stock to
be found, the major supply consists of
very good flowers. The latter bring from
l%c. to 2%c. White Lilies are not to
be had, and of speciosums there are not
many either.

The first lots of new Carnations have
appeared, the variety being Matchless.
One grower sends in a good supply of
extra fine Belladonna Delphiniums, find-
ing a fair demand at a good price. Fever-
few and Snapdragon are also available in
limited quantity. There is the usual sup-
ply of miscellaneous flowers like Cosmos,
Zinnias, Statiee, Coreopsis, Helichrysum,
Gypsophila, Liatris, Buddleia and Mari-
gold, for all of which there is a nominal
demand.

Besides Early Frost and Golden Glow,
some excellent Chrysolora Chrysanthe-
mums are to be had; in small lots, of
course.

In orchids we find a few Cattleya gigas,
Gaskelliana and the advance guard of
labiata. Prices run from 50e. for the
smallest to $1.50 and $2 for the largest.
Hybrid Cattleyas, Odontoglossums and
Cypripediums are also to be found. Lily
of the Valley is good at about 6c. and 8c.
Gardenias are scarce.

The supply of greens is more than suffi-
cient, and the demand better than a while

ago. The wholesale shipping houses are
rinding business very good.

News Notes

H. E. Meader, Dover, N. H., was
among the visitors, from afar, at the
late Gladiolus exhibition in Horticultural
Hall.

One of Thomas Cogger's new seedlings,
creamy white and pale salmon, attracted
much attention at the recent Gladiolus
show in Horticultural Hall. Mr. Cogger
named his new creation in honor of Mrs.
Win. Penn of Boston.

The store of Houghton Gorney, under
the Park st. church, is undergoing a thor-
ough renovation, and many Jong contem-
plated improvements are being installed.
The walls are being painted a very light
French gray, while the ceiling will be pure
white. Mr. Gorney is quite fussy about
having his show windows just as attrac-
tive as possible, for thousands upon thou-
sands of pedestrians pass this most promi-
nent location at all hours. Mr. Ames,
the decorator, knows just how to carry out
Mr. Gorney's ideas and how to add some
touches of his own artistic visions. Be-
sides being fussy about having an uptodate
window display, Mr. Gorney is an en-
thusiastic worker for the Florist Tele-
graph Delivery movement, and for that
reason is the recipient of many orders
from all over the country.

The Dahlia exhibition of the New Eng-
land Dahlia Society, which will be held
in conjunction with the Dahlia show of
the Massachusetts Horticultural Society,
Sept. 9 and 10, promises to be an event
of greatest interest to lovers of the
Dahlia. The Dahlia exhibitions have al-
ways proven to be the most popular at-
traction of the year. The society, in its
schedule, has provided for 80 classes with
substantial prizes. There will also be
eight classes for amateurs who grow only
100 plants or less.

At the Caledonian picnic in Norumbega
Park, Aug. 5, Duncan A. Robertson, de-
signer at Perm's, proved to be an ardent
and loyal member of his clan. Not one
feature of the program passed off with-
out him having a hand in it, and as for
being the gallant of the ladies, well, he
was the champion of them all.

Eugene Sullivan, at Dolansky-McDonald
Co., and wife are enjoying the sea breezes
at the Vineyard Haven these coming two
weeks.

J. K. Chandler & Sons, Tewksbury,
Mass., are erecting a new Lord & Burn-
ham iron framer, 250ft.xi0ft., together
with a connecting house, lSft.x25ft. The
new structure will be planted to Sweet
Peas this coming Winter, and next year
the firm will again grow Carnations, as
in former years.

Theodore Outerbridge, the veteran
Easter Lily grower of Sunny Lands, Ber-
muda, spent a few days in Boston and
vicinity, visiting his many old business
friends. Mr. Outerbridge is a native Ber-
mudian, and a grower of Easter Lilies
ever since he can remember. His "Fairy
Isle" Easter Lily bulbs enjoy a fine repu-
tation among our growers. When Mr.
Outerbridge feels like it, he can tell quite
a few things about the growing of Easter
Lilies, which will soon convince the listener
that Lily growing is not all fun and frolic.
He mentions that Bermuda is fast re-
gaining its former prestige and that the
bulbs grown there now are as good as the
best ever sent out in former years, thanks
to the strict oversight maintained against
disease.

Wm. R. Nicholson, Framingham, is
sending to the Flower Exchange Market

quantities of the most exquisitely formed
and colored Belladonna Delphiniums, and
has no trouble to realize a good price for
them, even if the market is as fiat as a
pancake. But then, "Billy" always man-
ages to have Delphiniums when no one
else has them, and his always seem to be
superior, somehow or other. They cer-
tainly are hard to beat at any time, and
every retailer knows it. So does Wm. R.
Abe Glick, salesman at the Flower
Exchange Market for W. A. Me-
Alpine, has at last found time and
courage to tear himself loose from busi-
ness for a few weeks. While "Bill" Mc-
Alpine is taking Abe's place and wrestling
with a recalcitrant market, Abe is ogling
the flappers at Old Orchard Beach, Me.,
and once in awhile putting a worm on a
line, which is all the meat that ever gets
connected with it, notwithstanding the
tall stories that float to the market from
the Pine Tree State.

Thos. F. Galvin, Jr., had the decoration
of the West Parish Chapel at the ceme-
tery in Shawsheen Village, Mass., for the
funeral of Wm. M. Wood, Jr., who lost
his life in an automobile accident at
Reading, Aug, 15. Mr. Wood was the
son of the president of the American
Woolen Co., and the funeral took place
on Sunday, Aug. 20. Besides a very
large quantity of other flowers, 2000
American Beauty Roses were used in the
decoration of the chapel, creating a won-
derfully rich and solemn effect. The firm
also executed an extraordinarily large
number of orders for elaborate and costly
funeral tokens, from heads and directors
of the many great business concerns with
which the young man and his father are
connected.

— Carbone's on Boylston st., furnished the
casket cover for the funeral of Wm. M.
Wood, Jr. The casket cover was built
of orchids entirely, and was one of the
most elaborate and artistic creations that
ever left the Carbone establishment.

J. J. Slattery, the ever busy manager
of Thos. F. Galvin, Inc., Park st. store,
is enjoying a well earned vacation at a
quiet nook along the New England shore,
where the fish are always in a mood to
bite at the least provocation.

Thos. F. Galvin, Jr., has been awarded
the exclusive privilege of decorating the
immense halls in the Mechanics. Building,
on Huntington ave., on the occasion of the
Graphic Arts exposition, which will be
held there from Aug. 28 to Sept. 2. These
decorations will require a great deal of
living plant material, besides flowers and
greens. Mr. Galvin, Jr., will have a booth
of his; own on the floor, in charge of
competent assistants.

B. F. Letson of Carbone's is vacationing
in some charming spot way up in Maine,
where unadulterated Nature's bewildering
decorative effects give new impressions to
his artistically inclined soul.

We are very sorry to learn that a sud-
den attack of serious illness necessitated
the transfer to the City Hospital of
Roy Parsons, the well known salesman for
Lester A. Mann at the Flower Exchange
Market.

The local committee of the N. A. G.,
New England branch, which has charge of
the arrangements for the coming conven-
tion in Boston, held a well attended
meeting in Horticultural Hall, on the
evening of Aug. 18. With President
Robert Cameron in the chair and Wm.
N. Craig, chairman of the special commit-
tees, keeping things moving, much im-
portant business was transacted in a short
time. The reports from all the different

ROSES

THE TWO LEADING VARIETIES ARE RUSSELL AND
COLUMBIA

For quality, size and substance the Russell and Columbia
are far better than what you would expect to be able to
buy during the Summer months.

If you are not buying our Roses, you are probably not
doing as well by making your purchases where there is not
the big supply as we have.

BEAUTIES

We can furnish. This is a special crop one of our growers
is bringing in during the Summer. If you need something
extra good in Roses, suggest Beauties.

committees "were most encouraging, so
that nothing short of inclement weather
conditions can mar the success of this
year's convention. Mayor James J. Cur-
ley of Boston; Albert C. Burrage, presi-
dent of the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society; Edw. E. Gilbert, commissioner
of Agriculture, and Miss Marion Roby
Case of Weston have accepted invitations
to address the meetings. An excellent
menu for the banquet at the Hotel Bruns-
wick, and a fine musical and entertainment
program are assured. The transportation
committee has the promise of an almost
unlimited number of automobiles, and for
each of the last two convention days a
most carefully planned schedule of inter-
esting excursions has been prepared and
will Ije printed. For the benefit of visi-
tors from inland, the auto trips will in-
clude stops at the harbors of Gloucester,
Marblehead, etc. To the number of pri-
vate estates to be inspected has been add-
ed the beautiful one of Thomas C. Proctor
of Topsfield, James ' Marlborough, gar-
dener.

Another meeting of the committees will
be held in Horticultural Hall at 7.30 p.m.,
Aug. 30.

7 S. Mole Street, PHILADELPHIA, PA.

Asters — Gladioli —Valley and Lilies — Roses

and all outdoor stock

cntion The Excha

Philadelphia

The tone of the market is slightly bet-
ter and the only thing that keeps down
incipient optimism is the shadow of a
heavy Dahlia crop looming up for Sep-
tember. The cool weather which prevails
at the time of writing (Aug. 22) indi-
cates higher quality in Gladioli and As-
ters and this was slightly noticeable even
in the shipments of Aug. 21.

Of course, the other side of the cloud
isn.'t so bright since cool weather will
undoubtedly prolong crops. However,
they will be of better quality and that is
perhaps worth all the rest.

Besides, no one can prophesy how long
the cool weather will last. A week or two
of very hot weather is not improbable in
the near future.

The chief contribution to better con-
ditions comes from the Asters. A slack-
ening in supply here has eased the whole
market. Prices Aug. 21 were still 50c.
to $4 per 100, however. Gladioli bring
$2 to $4 and the supply was about the
same as during the week before.

Roses are getting better every week,
on account, no doubt, of the number of
growers who have cut back their stock
to give it a rest. This makes less stock
on the market and not a great deal of it
is wasted. In fact, some wholesale houses
were hunting Roses Aug. 21, although the
scarcity was purely local. The cool
weather may shorten this crop very ma-
terially and will undoubtedly make for
better quality.

Lilies are good stock and fairly firm at
$15.

Notes

The Leo Niessen Co. had some good
Bouvardia Humboldtii last week. Hugh
Niessen of this firm has been away for a
few days' vacation.

The Jos. C. Neidinger Co. reports a suc-
cessful convention trip. L. S. Seiger of
the firm is on his vacation.

The H. Bayersdorfer Co. sold its entire
exhibit at Kansas City to the Stuppy
Floral Co. Business in general was sat-
isfactory, although the attendance was
not so large as usual. Paul Berkowitz
of this firm has been making a record as
a fisherman at Atlantic City. Wednesday
and Saturdays see him behind a rod and
he usually persuades a few denizens of
the deep to join him there too before he
gets through.

tablishment there.

Carl Corts of the Mole st. office of the
Joseph Heacock Co., left for a fortnight's
vacation Aug. 22. His first week is sched-
uled for Ocean City, N. J.

A strong note of optimism was sounded
by C. U. Liggit the other day: "I've
been travelling around among growers for
quite a few years," he said, "but I have
never seen houses looking so clean and
well kept as I have this year. And I
have never seen stock so well cared for
generally."

Intelligent interest and helpfulness in the cus-

Where Coal is Cheapest

More Stokers Are Used

Naturally, coal is cheaper in the Pittsburgh district, yet the small
plants, such as laundries, school houses, hospitals, etc., see that
it is good business to save their fuel by installing

One greenhouse, having boilers of only 75
horsepower each, installed a Murphy Fur-
nace on trial. The coal saving was so great
that another Murphy was put in. Soon
nine other greenhouses followed suit. Even
though these plants operated only 4 to 5
months in the year — the 15 to 30 per cent
saving was very attractive.

Your plant, whether operating 12 months
on power load — or a shorter period on a
heating load, will be improved and fuel
saved with Murphy Furnaces. You don't
need to be told that low-priced coal has gone
forever, and a ton saved now pays larger
dividends — but if you want to burn any fuel
that has heat in it — install the Murphy.

Catalog FE-8 shows how Murphy Furnaces can be
installed under any type of boiler — SO H. P. and up

Philadelphia — Continued from page 577

he could be induced to register was
against the heat.

Jack Berger of Berger Bros, is now en-
joying the fine Canadian weather and
other things. The office received word last
week that he would leave Montreal for
Quebec, Aug. 21.

S. S. Pennock and family were sched-
uled to reach New York on their way
home Aug. 23.

Retailers

Mrs. J. Drew-Barre and Mr. and
Mrs. W. B. Taber of the London Flower
Shop returned Aug. 21. They have been
spending the Summer in Maine and ended
the season with a trip through Canada to
Niagara Falls.

"We have been more aggressive this
year' than ever before," said Frank M.
Ross, "and it is bringing results. I feel
this Fall will be mighty good business."
The best business this season has been
done by the 52d st. establishment. The
store at Kensington had a poor Summer
due to the many strikers in that district.
Mr. Ross stated that he was handling
weekly an average of 5000 Gladioli and
400 6in. ferns. "It is the best year we
have had except for 1920," he said.

The store of Robert Crawford, Jr., has
just been repainted and everything is
ready for a good season. Mr. Crawford
has three nice weddings already booked
for October and prognosticates a revival
of good flower weddings this year after
the epidemic of informal affairs during the
last year or so.

T. Neilson Geiger finds the cool weath-
er endangering his crop of Egyptian Lotus.
This bloom is one requiring careful and
often delicate handling. A display in his
window last week had a vase of Lotus ex-
hibited with a background of the large
leaves of the plant.

Charles Henry Fox reports a fair busi-
ness, but explains that he doesn't feel
much like hard work just now. Holding
forth his hands in explanation he dis-
played several Poison Ivy sores collected
over the recent week end.

Baseball

The scores for the week are as
follows: Aug. 17— Dreer 19, I. F. C. 17;
Pennock 16, Niessen 15; Bayersdorfer 16,
Craig 1; Bickmore 10, Retailers 2. Aug.
21— Bayersdorfer 14, I. F. C. 8; Pennock
7, Retailers 1; Niessen vs. Bickmore, (for-
feited to Niessen) ; Dreer vs. Craig (post-
poned.)

The scheduled season is now over. Only
one team — Bickmore — has completed the
schedule, and it leads the league with an

average of .714. The Bayersdorfer bunch
has one more game to play — with Craig.
If they win, they will tie Bickmore for
first place. The Retailers have third place,
but can tie for first if they win their re-
maining three games. The Craigs can also
tie for first if they win their remaining
five games. " No team can pass Bickmore
as matters now stand. The averages are
as follows:

W. L. P.C.

Bickmore 10 4 .714

Bayersdorfer 9 4 .692

Retailers 7' 4 .636

Craig 5 4 .555

Niessen 6 7 .461

I. F. C 4 8 .333

Dreer 4 8 .333

Pennock 3 9 .250

The great surprise of the season was
the Pennock team's recent victories over
the Retailers, Craig and Niessen. Every
game they played was lost up to a week
or so ago. After that almost every game
was a victory.

Eight more games must be played be-
fore the schedule is completed, all of
which were postponed during the season.
If action is taken on protested games some
seven more games may be left undecided,
giving a total of 15 yet to play.

Fort Wayne, Ind.

This past week Fort Wayne has been
sweltering under the torrid heat wave, the
hottest August on record. Business has
not been very brisk, although there has
been some funeral work, which was stim-
ulated considerably by the untimely
death of a very popular public official in
the person of Ernest Kampe, who was
killed in an auto accident on the 12th, to-
gether with his son aged 15 years. Mr.
Kampe had been County Treasurer for
some years, and made a host of friends,
which was evidenced by the many won-
derful floral tributes.

There is a good supply of stock on the
market, but it far exceeds the demand.

News Notes

This Summer sees the passing out
of business of our oldest greenhouse es-
tablishment, that of H. H. Ritter, now
75 years old, charter member of the S. A.
F. & O. H, and in the florist business for
50 years. The place will be dismantled
to make room for a Christian Science
Church Sept. 1.

J. W. Rodgers will move from No. 4 S. ■ '
Jefferson to 140 E. Third St., where he
will have four times as much space for
his ever increasing business. Mr. Rodgers
is now cleaning up the country for sup-
plies and fixtures. He left for Chicago
Aug. 14.

Horace Frank had two weeks' vacation .
at Lake Wood.

Miss Olive Ritter is taking six weeks
at Yellowstone Park and Salt Lake City.

The T. J. Callahan Co. has had to t
double its floor space for the manufac-
ture of greenhouse material. They report
excellent business.

E. W. Jenkins is cutting thousands of

hats and Sterling in silver — it is a standard of value.

Before ordering greenhouses or greenhouse material,
consider FOLEY'S new factory, its capacity, its

efficiency, its central location, and FOLEY'S history of
honest products, honest prices and honest dealings.

For your money's sake, for your business welfare,

The Florists' Exchange

Augu | 1900

o

Ask "Walker of St. Catharines how he came to be known from coast to coast and make shipments of
plants in all the Provinces, and he will say: "I started small. But I was determined not to stay small.
Never have I asked my men to do anything I wouldn't do. We work together like one big family.
We see to it that every plant that leaves the place is tke kind of plant we would be willing to pay our
good money for if we were the buyer. .. After that we keep right on keeping everlastinglv at it"

f Particular Interest
to Canadian Florists
Big or Little

Every other week in the Florists'

Review and Florists' Exchange, or two

issues a month, we are going to devote

this page entirely to talking with you

Canadian growers and

florists. It is going to

be strictly a Canadian

page, bought for and paid

for by the Canadian Lord

& Burnham Company. It

is "going to be about

Oil Burners

With the purpose of looking after the
interest of our customers, we have for the
last two years been making careful investi-
gation of different Oil Burning -Outfits.
Only recently have we been able to satisfy
ourselves sufficiently on the merits of any
burners, to recommend them.

VvYite us now, and give us the size and type
of your boilers, and we will put you in
touch with the manufacturers of the Oil
Burning Outfit best suited to your needs.

Canadian made greenhouses for Q
dians. Of course, it will from
time mention greenhouse progress!?
may be made over in the States.
But always remember
that whenever you want
to talk over building,
regardless of the size of
the house, we stand ready
to do just a little more
than our part.

A Proposed Cure for ' Summer Complaint"

In which is set up the argument that the Summer cut flower market is glutted by the amateur
grower element and a remedy suggested. It certainly does not seem fair that the rank out-
sider should receive the same consideration as the professional grower and we much doubt

that he does.

;

Editor, the Florists Exchange:

Dear Sir — Looking' over the flower market reports
for the last two mouths, one reads everywhere that
the supply has far exceeded the normal demand for
this time of the year. This is not because the "trade''
ihas suddenly increased Summer plantings. Rather,
lit is due to the fact that more and more people with
a few square rods of land are growing flowers for
j commercial purposes, outside of tlieir regular lines of
Acorl;. For example, in our neighborhood there are
• some twenty who are shipping Dahlias, Asters. Gla-
'dioli. etc. to the city commission houses and to the
' stores, none of these depending upon cut flower grow-
ing for their living!

It is far from my purpose to discourage the grow-
ling of flowers by amateurs, nor the selling of the
surplus, provided that the true cost of disposal is
borne entirely. by such folk, and not by the ''trade."
:The worst of it is. however, that the farmer and
amateur grower unconsciously take advantage of the
workings of an organized business, created and main-
tained by the professional grower, wholesaler and
; retailer.

To make this clear, suppose our twenty neighbors
; were compelled to reach the consumer through a
: medium of their own. created expressly for the
i handling of Summer flowers. What. I ask. would be-
come of such a medium from November to June, when
the output of my neighbors was nil? In order to
carry on a seasonal business of this kind, the cost of
distribution would have to be great enough to justify
the suspension of business during a period of eight
months out of twelve, somewhat similar to that of the
vegetable canning factories.

But, instead of bearing the actual cost of expenses
of distribution, the amateur markets his goods
through establishments created and supported by the
"trade," and usually receives the same considera-
tions, and is charged with the same commissions as
the professional grower. The above condition has a
demoralizing effect all the way down the line, viz :

1. The grower (professional) is discouraged by the
tone of the market and by the injustice of the situa-
tion if he is wise enough to perceive it. He plants little
or nothing, and does not work hard for quality — why
should he with top grade Asters selling for 50c. per
bunch? His neighbors, the butcher, the baker and the
candlestick maker, have become his competitors over
night.

2. The wholesaler is swamped with flowers, mostly
of mediocre quality, which arrive spasmodically, very
often improperly packed and in poor shape. The cost
of handling these is very high, the writer is in-
formed by a reliable merchant, and the reward inade-
quate to the amount of work performed.

3. The retail florist is disgusted to see this "junk"
being peddled about the streets. As for his custom-
ers, it is no longer a case of "Say it with Flow-
ers." but rather one of "Satiated with Flowers."
The buying public, perceiving how easily flowers are
disposed of by every Tom, Dick and Harry, comes to
have a lessened respect for the industry as a whole
and. worst of all, contract a dwindling appreciation
of good flowers. It is not easy to find a complete
cure for this increasing trouble, and I offer the fol-
lowing only as a starter, subject to opinions of the
trade :

Let the several wholesale houses of each commun-
ity get together and agree upon the establishment of
a special commission rate to what we term "Summer
shippers," based upon a careful analysis of what it
actually would cost to handle such products independ-
ent of everything else, as I have tried to bring out in
the first part of this letter. This rate should be high
enough to encourage the steady shippers, those of the
"trade," to grow more flowers and of a better quality
than heretofore. It should not be high enough to
tempt and encourage the "direct to consumer" idea on
the part of amateurs. No one could refute the ar-
guments which would justify such a procedure, and
the "protection" afforded is no more illegal than is
the tariff. It is simply sound business, and the is-
sue should be faced squarely. Should the amateurs
organize their own selling agencies, well and good.
But I venture to state that such organizations, be-
cause of the seasonal and "loose" nature of the busi-
ness, would have a tendency to discourage overpro-
duction, and would react in a way most beneficial
to all concerned. We all know how difficult it is, in

other industries, to buy and sell at wholesale, unless
one is engaged in the same or allied line of work.
Is there any good reason for making our own busi-
ness an exception to this?

As I view it. the initial step must be taken by the
wholesalers, for they are the first to be approached
by the spasmodic shipper. But and this is important
whatever action is taken must be concerted, and must
be supported by the entire trade, especially by the
retailer who may be tempted to buy "at the door."

I should very much like the opinions of fellow
tradesmen upon this subject. We have not grown
any Summer flowers this year, so it must not be
thought that this letter is the outpourings of a broken-
hearted pocketbook. But, as I write, my 20 neigh-
bors are unconsciously dividing up the profits which
rightfully belong to the several hardworking florists
and growers roundabout. This is why I have taken
advantage of your columns to lay this matter before
the "trade." Dkue Allman.

commission even to recognized commercial growers of
Peonies, Gladioli and Dahlias, who produce these
flowers in great numbers in Summer, but have no
glass for the growing of flowers for the wholesale
flower market from mid-October to mid-May, and
hence do not contribute at all during that period to
the overhead expenses of the wholesale flower mar-
ket? [We do not feel that the argument in this para-
graph bears on Mr. Allman's contention. — Ed.]

Furthermore, wholesale florists, so far as our ob-
servation goes, are men with at least average busi-
ness acumen, and as such know that some of those
wlin were formerly amateur growers of Summer flow-
ers, but are now commercial growers on a small
scale, may go a little further, erect greenhouses and
eventually become all the year around commercial
growers and desirable shippers. Finally, I. am not at
all sure that a formal agreement by the wholesale
florists to make a distinction in the amount of com-
mission charged growers and shippers of the same
kinds of flowers would lie legal, even though there
must exist some legal distinction between amateur
and commercial grower.

I >rue Allman's article submitted to a gentleman
long conversant with the wholesale market brought
us the following reply:

I have no reason to doubt the statements made by
Mr. Allman. I think to some extent such conditions
obtain in the New York City wholesale flower mar-
ket. Those wbo were formerly amateur cultivators
of outdoor Summer flowers become commercial grow-
ers by virtue of the very fact that they no longer
grow a few flowers for their own use only, but that
they grow flowers in considerable numbers and send
them to the wholesale florists to tie sold on commis-
sion, or they sell them direct to the retail florists, as
many real commercial flower growers also do, all
the year around. The wholesale florists receive and
sell such flowers, charging so far as we know, the
same commission for selling as they charge all the
year around commercial grower. I do not know
whether or not the wholesale florists would entertain
the idea of charging those amateurs who grow only
summer flowers a higher commission than they charge
the all the year around commercial flower growers.

If. however, they should adopt such a rule, would
they not be asked to go further, and charge this higher

The Narcissus Fly in California

Editor The Florists Exchange:

Noting in your issue of Aug. 12 the illustration of
an infestation of the Narcissus fly in California
grown bulbs and your note of surprise that such
exists here, it may be of interest to you to know,
that two years ago the writer invested quite largely
in the better kinds of Narcissi, with a view to culti-
vating them as a crop. The first year, nearly 90 per
cent was lost of some kinds, while all were infested,
and are now to some extent, in spite of the fact that
the bulbs were dipped for 4S hours when dormant
in a weak solution of tobacco. This and replanting
on new ground, were advised as the only possible
things to do. We have, however, given up the idea
of growing these bulbs as a crop.

The pest has been identified as Merodon equestris,
and is common in the State of Washington, and
probably in Oregon. The pity of it all is that last
Autumn a huge quantity of Narcissi were brought
here in from Holland that were as badly infested
as the stocks bought here. As the shipment was sold
and distributed widely in small lots, there is no hope
of cleaning up stocks that are here. The Narcissus
fly seems to be perfectly at home here on the Pacific
Coast, more so, indeed, than in the Eastern States.
We will have to fight the pests to hold any stocks,
and it is good to know that there is a remedy as easy
as the hot water treatment mentioned by you.

The Florists Exchange

397

With a coal shortage no longer a possibility but
an actuality, those florists who are not content to
sit back and hope for better times are giving serious
thought to the subject of beating by means of oil.
As a result of widespread inquiries we hope at an
early date to publish reports of actual experience^
in this direction that will prove of definite assistance
to others. In the meantime we have been consulting
a source of information (as well as oil) in the form
of the Fuel Oil Department of the Standard Oil Co.,
and the following miscellaneous facts secured there-
from may answer some rather general inquiries and
prevent some hasty and unfortunate steps.

In the first place fuel oil, as the term is used by
oil dealers and officials of the huge industrial plants
and ocean steamers that use it, does not refer to
kerosene or any such light bodied distillate, but
rather to so-called Mexican fuel oil, only a few de-
grees above the crude products from which it is ob-
tained. It is a heavy, thick, viscous material, even
in warm weather, and in Winter may become almost
solid enough to support a man's weight.

It must, therefore, be kept, while in transit, to
some 150 deg. F. in order to flow freely, and to at
least 200 deg. before it will vaporize. For this reason
the tank cars (of 6000 to 10,000 gallons capacity)
in which the oil is sold are equipped with steam
heating pipes ; and for the same reason similar pro-
vision must be made in any storage receptacle to
keep the oil at a temperature that will render it
comparatively free flowing. This, of course, is in
addition to the pumping mechanism required to feed
the oil to the burners under pressure.

From this it is obvious that the man who contem-'
plates burning Mexican oil fuel must be prepared :

1. To provide heated storage tanks, sufficient to
hold an adequate reserve supply.

2. To make a contract for as large a quantity of
fuel as possible (no less than a year's supply) in
order to be sure of it and of getting it at a set
price.

3. To continue the use of oil fuel long enough to
justify the necessarily heavy expense of installing
burners, storage tanks, etc.

Furthermore, in order to utilize fuel oil, an es-
tablishment must have its own railroad spur from
which it can unload the tank cars, since tank wagons
and other smaller conveyors are not heated or other-
wise equipped to handle the material.

In reply to the question as to whether the more
conveniently handled kerosene, or even gasoline, could
not be used, we are advised that mechanically there
would be no difficulty, but that the cost of both these
materials is prohibitive for large scale use. More-
over, it must be realized that should the use of auy
sort of oil become at all general, the increased de-
mand would automatically result in a still higher
price.

As to comparisons between oil and coal the Stand-
ard Oil Co. on a theoretic basis, not that of actual
experience, advises us as follows :

In weight, 6 to 7 barrels (252 to 294 gallons) of
Mexican fuel oil are equivalent to one long ton (2240
lbs.) of coal.

In heat value, 3% to 4 barrels (153 to 16S gallons)
of oil equal one ton of coal.

On the above basis a greenhouse establishment
burning 10,000 tons of coal per year would use in
that time about as much fuel oil as is required to
take one of the large, oil-burning liners on a round
trip to Europe and back. This shows that, compara-
tively speaking, greenhouse operators — even the
largest of them, would cut but little ice as oil con-
sumers in the eyes of the big producing concerns.

As to cost, Mexican oil is now — or was recently —
quoted at $1.55 per barrel in tank car lots (6-10,000
gallons) F.O.B. Bayonne, N. J. What it may be in
two weeks' time or whenever one was ready to place
an order, we are not prepared to say.

In brief — oil may solve your problem, but in order
that it may you must make absolutely certain, first
of a sufficient supply at a set price; second, of ade-
quate storage space properly equipped; and, third,
of enough capital to cover the cost of the machine
installation and of the fuel.

For the florist who burns from two to five tons of
coal a week we believe that the use of kerosene oil
will enable him to pull through the Winter. This oil
is much easier to transport and handle, does not call
for storage tanks, and it is quite likely much easier
and cheaper to install a burner in the furnace that
will provide the necessary heat. The price this week

of kerosene oil, wholesale, in tank wagous, delivered
on regular routes, in New York and vicinity, is ll%c.
a gallon ; 100 gallons of kerosene, it is claimed, will
furnish as much heat as one ton of coal.

Oil Fuel for Heating Greenhouses

Slow but sure the Summer days are bidding us
"good night;" cool nights are waiting just around
the corner and, with the coal situation being what it
is, many of our florists are wondering what is going
to happen next. While for the last few years The
Exchange has steadily advised the florists to look
into the advisability of using fuel oil instead of coal,
little interest has been shown in the proposition up
to a short time ago. At the present time, though, it
looks as if the question of fuel oil was receiving a
good deal of attention. Not only are a number of
florists asking for information as to where oilburning
outfits and oil can be procured but, as rumor has it,
more than one firm is actually engaged in installing
the new heating system.

There are at least two good reasons why fuel oil
burning is considered more seriously than it was two
or three years ago, outside of the fact that the coal
situation is at present about as bad as it well can
ever be. One of these reasons is, that formerly con-
tracts for a supply of oil could not be made, while
at the present time, oil is cheap and plentiful and
the oil people are anxious to make long and favor-
able contracts. Ocean freightage is sure and reason-
able and truck delivery from the many new and big
depots makes the handling of the oil independent of
the railroads. Secondly, the appearance of much
cheaper installations for fuel oil burning, attract the
attention of many florists who formerly had the idea
that they could not swing the cost of changing over
to oil.

Leaving alone the question whether coal can be had
this Fall, coal will in all probability, be a high-priced
commodity. Oil under the. present conditions, is way
below the cost of coal, value for value. Added to this
advantage, is the saving in space for storage; the
almost entire absence of labor in tending the fires
and the handling of ashes and, also, the greater clean-
liness all around. The saving in the cost of fuel
alone will, in a very short time, pay for the new
installation. We know that any innovation has to
fight its way to the front, but when one considers that
today, almost every installation for heating or the
making of steam, is based upon the use of fuel oil,
then it is high time to ponder the question deeply.

Oil is the coming fuel and no mistake about it.

Good Coal News from Representative Gude

Washington, D. C. — Assurances of sufficient coal
supplies for all the florists in the country were re-
cently given by Wm. F. Gude, national representative
of the S. A. F. and O. H.,. who has been following the
coal situation in Washington very closely. With the
probability that production of bituminous would soon
amount to 10,000,000 or more tons a week, Mr. Gude
feels safe in saying that the critical point has been
passed and that from now on, although careful con-
servation may be necessary, a sufficiency will exist.

"The coming two weeks," said Mr. Gude, "will be
the hardest in the whole history of the coal strike
which is now rapidly drawing to a close. But be-
cause in no section of the country do the florists yet
need fires, they should- not be affected by the distress
which may be occasioned during this period. I can
see nothing in the outlook now that would tend to
give the florists the least concern over their fuel sup-
plies for the Winter.

"They should not, of course, feel that they are
going to be able to throw coal around recklessly next
Winter, but conditions are rapidly reaching a point
where I can safely say that no florist in the country
will have to suffer for lack of fuel to heat his green-
house or store. I have been following closely the
work of the Secretary of Commerce and Fuel Ad-
ministrator Spencer and believe that the steps which
they have taken will prove successful in meeting the
emergency.

"As a matter of fact, it is not now the coal prob-
lem which is causing uneasiness; the subject of con-
sideration right now is the railroad situation. The
roads are unable to move all the cars which are
being loaded with coal. Until a steady stream of
loaded coal cars is going out from the mines to all
sections of the country there will not be any too
much coal anywhere. Federal officials and the rail-
roads are now working upon this question and I be-
lieve that within a week or two at the most the roads
will be able to send out a steady supply of coal

which will be not only sufficient to meet the current
demands of industry but also to provide, in sections
where that action may be necessary, a slight reserve
to be used in case of a sudden onslaught of cold
weather before adequate stocks are brought in,"

[It is gratifying to learn that so astute and clear
vis'ioned an observer as Mr. Gude takes such an opti-
mistic view of the situation, and we wholeheartedly
hope that bis expectations will be realized to the
utmost. But we must confess that we don't see upon
what he bases his confidence, for no reports that
have come to us, either through the press or other-
wise, appear to justify such faith in either ample
supplies of mined coal or, what is more important,
their timely transportation to all parts of the coun-
try. But, of course, as we have said, we hope for the
best and will continue to do so. — Eoitor.]

Georgia — Flora's Versatile Daughter

D. C. Horgan, of Macon, Ga., recently had a story
in the Southern Florist on "Georgia — Flora's Versa-
tile Daughter," in which he set forth that that State
was a paradise of gardens and further pointed out
that it had within its borders eight of the nine cli-
matic zones of the United States, due to the number
of high mountains in parts of northern Georgia,
which are equivalent to hundreds of miles of North-
ern latitude, while on the other hand the borders- of
Georgia on the South permit growers there, naturally,
to raise everything that can be grown in northern
Florida. Our good friend, Chas. J. Bayne, associate
editor of the ilaeon News; not only gave Mr. Hor-
gan's article full publicity, but as well published an
editorial thereon in which he said :

"We get some idea of the growth of the florist trade
when we are told that 15 years ago there was not
more than 250,000 sq. ft. of greenhouses in the State,
while today we have more than a million square feet,
and the sale of cut flowers and pot plants has at-
tained proportions of which we little dreamed a few
years ago.

"The increasing love of flowers results in a larger
business for the florist, who is now justified in propa-
gating a volume and variety of material which is
literally surprising, while the tendency to adorn pri-
vate residences is constantly increasing."

Knowing the gentleman, this gives us opportunity
to express our belief that Mr. Bayne is one of the
best informed amateur horticulturists in the country.
He is enthusiastic to the «th degree in all those
things which have to do with horticulture, and flo-
rists in the South who seek advice along these lines,
will find in that gentleman a friend indeed.

The F. H. B. and the Jewel of Consistency

We have received the following copy of a letter
and permission to publish it, which we do with ap-
proval and an appreciative chuckle:

Federal Horticultural Board,

Washington, D. C.
Dear Sirs :

It affords us much pleasure to commend your de-
nial of the request of the American Association of
Nurserymen for authority to import Norway Maple
whips, 5ft. to Sft.

We are opposed as a matter of principle and policy
alike to the actions of your Board, but in this in-
stance you are wholly consistent and your course
most commendable. There is no reason whatever
why this request of the American Association of Nur-
serymen should be allowed in this instance. Ob
their part it is clearly a seeking of favors for them-
selves, that they want denied to others, and is
prompted by that worst of human vices, selfishness-.

America can and will in due season produce all
the Norway Maple trees wanted, and it goes without
saying that American enterprise should be fostered
without fear of anybody. Similarly there is no valid
reason why fruit and other stocks should be admitted
under any conditions. They can be and are being
produced in this country and if the quantities avail-
able are insufficient that is both our misfortune and
our fault, and can be soonest remedied by the erec-
tion of more quarantine barriers.

All hail, therefore, your action in this instance of
Norway Maples. We enter a plea for its extension
to all horticultural products of every kind and char-
acter. Let us be consistent though the heavens fall,
and the world drop into chaos.

Yours truly,

BLooncooD Nuesekies,

Notes from Abroad

Signs of the waning of the Summer are
now visible in the blooming of the wild
blue Chicory by the wayside, and the
opening buds of the Japanese Anemone
in the corners of the flower garden. And
yet the persistently cool and wet weather
has hindered the development of most of
!our garden plants and put them two or
three weeks behind the normal. A frost
■was actually recorded recently, and the
temperature at noon today was not many
degrees above that of last Christmas Day.
There is no longer any talk of water short-
age, and growers are looking eagerly for-
ward to the improved weather promised
by the meterological office, but which has
not yet materialized. Similar conditions
seem to prevail over most of Western and
Central Europe. In the growing districts
■the position and prospects remain about
the same, but in all parts more sun and
less rain are fervently hoped for.
i Asters are now beginning to dominate
the flower market, both as cut flowers and
bedding plants in boxes. The Comet flow-
ering types are preferred for the former
and the dwarf Chrysanthemum class for
the latter.

Not so many as usual of our U. S.
friends seem to have crossed the herring
pond this Summer. W. Atlee Burpee has
recently called on the London trade, and
we look forward to seeing others while
there are still some flowers to show. The
trial grounds of the leading ' houses are
now in an interesting state for visitors,
tsqme account of Watkins & Simpson's
trial and selecting grounds has lately ap-
peared in the horticultural press, and
those of other houses are equally well
worth a visit by all those interested in
the production and maintenance of choice
strains of vegetable and flower seeds.

Transatlantic Seedsman.
Aug. 14, 1922.

Several weeks of bright Summer
weather are required to give the crops
in Great Britain, and Western Europe
generally, the sunshine necessary for
their proper ripening off. Just at pres-
ent the outlook is fairly favorable, with
a gradually rising barometer, and though
the meteorologists have descried depres-
sions approaching from various direc-
tions, we hope that they may pass us

The flower market is, just now, rather
quiet, but the advanced stage of the
bummer is marked bj the appearance of
large quantities of Gladiolus, and a fair
quantity of Chrysanthemums.. Asters
bulk largely on the stalls, and other
prominent articles are perennial Phlox,
Alontbretias and pink Gypsophila.

Sugar Beet has done better this year
than last, both in Germany and France,
having suffered less from frost than
other Beets and Magnolias, and there is
likely to be a surplus of seed for export,
rrom the latter country, it is reported
that though Cucumbers have suffered
badly from disease in the South, they are
looking fairly well in other parts.
Chicories and Endives will be rather un-
der average. Peas are a short crop and
importations will be necessary.

Beans are also not plentiful but good
Blipplies are expected from the North
African coast. Most herbs have seeded
tolerably well and prices are much on
last year's level. The price of Spinach
has risen and growers are demanding
an advance on contract prices, which
is hardly square dealing to the seed mer-
chants, who have to take the seed when
plentiful, whether they can sell it at
a profit or not.

In Great Britain the Pea crop is be-
'ow average, and judging by the sam-
ples coming in, it is uncertain whether
there will be much picking required.
Pole iieans are • making good growth,
but it is too early yet to talk about the

crop.

The moist weather of the last few
weeks has brought about a glut of some
kinds of vegetables. Squashes, for in-
stance, which last year at this time were
costing the equivalent of a quarter of a
dollar each, can now hardly find pur-
chasers at a cent apiece.

British horticulture is the poorer for
the death of David Storrie of Perth, a
much respected hybridizer and raiser
who did a great work in the improve-
ment of many favorite garden flowers.

The passing of Lord Northcliffe, too,
reminds us that he was a patron of hor-
ticulture in his own characteristic way,
and his manner of encouraging competi-
tion was certainly unique, as for in-
stance his offer of a prize of ilOOO for
a single bunch of Sweet Peas.

New York Seed Trade

Bernard Rynveld Returns from
France

Bernard Rynveld of F. Rynveld &
Sons, 61 Vesey st., whose picture, by the
way, appeared in the New York Sunday
papers among those of the notables re-
turning from Europe, returned to this
country on Saturday, Aug. 26 on the
S. S. LaFrance, having sailed from Havre,
France. In talking with a representa-
tive of The Exchange he has cleared
up some of the misunderstandings here-
tofore existing in the trade regarding the
purchase of the French crop of bulbs. He
explains that his firm started buying
Paperwhite Narcissi for 200 francs for the
13 centimeter aud oversize, feeling that
this price was justified in view of the
short crop, and that growers at that time
seemed to be satisfied with it. Subse-
quently, higher bidding by French houses
made the growers believe that the bulbs
would finally command a higher price,
and they then withheld until the bulbs
were actually dug and ready for deliv-
ery. At this stage, the French export-
ers encouraged by some firm orders from
American jobbers, commenced buying at
350 francs, which proved to be the lead-
ing price throughout the season. The
Holland houses at first, were not inclined
to pay this figure, but when the French
packers continued to buy for apparently
firm orders received from American job-
bers, the Hollanders were compelled to
purchase at the same price.

Mr. Rynveld also wants to correct the
impression that the Dutch houses are ex-
porting large quantities of 11 centimeter
bulbs and claiming the growers would sell
only the run of the crop, including 11
centimeters as well as the larger sizes.
Most of the Dutch houses, he says, have
retained the 11 centimeter bulbs in
France for growing another season. He
does not believe that any of the Dutch
houses have exported 11 centimeter bulbs,
unless specifically ordered to do so by
their customers. Mr. Rynveld further says
he does not believe that when the French
bulbs are all in they will total 50 per
cent of last year's supply. While the
Dutch bulb crop is a little below normal,
the demand is much greater than last
year, and for this reason the prices of
almost all varieties are rising steadily.
This is leading to a scarcity of many va-
rieties of Tulips, Hyacinths and Daffo-
dils. Furthermore, many- varieties of
Dutch bulbs have been bought by ex-
porters from growers at a higher price
than they have actually been sold for in
this country on booked orders.

the seed growing districts of New York
State and. Canada and reports that he
finds Peas yielding from two to five fold.
A normal yield is from 5 to 7 fold, con-
sequently, the crop this year is about 50
per cent of normal, or, in other words,
poor. Furthermore, the kinds most in
demand, namely, Gradus, Thomas Lax-
ton, Laxtonian and Sutton's Excelsior,
are the varieties which are yielding the
least. The Bean harvest, Mr. Woodruff
reports, is just beginning and there seems
to be no prospect of a full crop. In fact,
it is only four or five fold, as compared
with 10 to 15 fold for a normal crop.
Beans will, therefore, be about 50 to 75
per cent of normal. This firm has al-
ready received, and is now unloading
into its warehouse 2000 bags of Spinach
seed and Peas, (1922 crop) from the Sacra-
mento Valley, Calif.

Calling at Carter's Tested Seeds, Inc.,
53 Barclay St., and inquiring for Man-
ager W. J. Collins, we learned he was on
a two weeks vacation, which he is spend-
ing in golfing at several points in New
England. This company has all its French
bulbs in, and expects its Dutch bulbs
soon.

A letter from George A. Burnett of
Burnett Bros., 92 Chambers St., to his
brother, Samuel, of the same firm, advises
that he and his family had a fine trip to
Europe and are in good health. After
spending a week or more in England, they
have now gone to the north of Ireland,
where they expect to spend several weeks,
part of the time at least in Mr. Burnett's
native town of Omagh, County Tyrone,
where he has two brothers and two sis-
ters living. This is Mr. Burnett's third
trip to Ireland. Walter Barnwell, store
manager for Burnett Bros., is spending
his vacation in his camp in the Adiron-
dacks, where his family have been and
are summering. The firm reports the ar-
rival of all French bulbs, and that Dutch
bulbs are due to arrive soon.

Vaughan's Seed Store, 41-43 Barclay
Street

We noted here this week a very com-
plete and artistically arranged salesroom

display of all seasonable bulbs. The ar-
rangement, besides being artistic, was
such that buyers could easily inspect the
different kinds of bulbs in stock. This
store reports the arrival of another ship-
ment of French bulbs, including such
kinds as Soleil d'Or, Narcissus and Ro-
man Hyacinths on the S. S. Patria; also
the arrival of the first large shipment of
Dutch bulbs, amounting to 107 cases, on
the S. S. Eyndam. The demand for Callas
has become very strong, and apparently
is going to exceed the supply. Straw-
berry plants also are meeting with a
good sale.

C. J. Speelman, of C. J. Speelman &
Sons, 470 Greenwich, St., who arrived
from Cherbourg, France Aug. 7, on the
S. S. Mauretania in a conversation with
The Exchange representative, says that
the Dutch bulb crop averages good, but
that prices on the most important varie-
ties are higher than last year on account
of the strong demand. As regards a re-
port that Dutch bulbs will arrive later
than usual this year because of the diffi-
culty experienced in drying the bulbs on
account of heavy rainfall, Mr. Speelman
says, that this is true only of those grow-
ers whose warehouses are not heated.
Speelman & Sons' warehouses are provided
with heat for drying purposes and their
bulb shipments are leaving Holland on
the same dates as last year.

We cannot help but note how Peter
Henderson & Co., 35 to 37 Cortlandt
St., keep up a large and unusually attrac-
tive daily window display of annual and
tuberous flowers. This week it comprised
Nicotiana, Asters, Marigolds, Coreopsis,
Phlox, Cosmos, annual Chrysanthemum
and Dahlias. We cannot but think that
such displays are good advertising and
stimulate sales of flower seeds for next
season, because we see many people in
front of the windows of this store, ob-
serving the flowers displayed there and
taking notes of their names, which, by the
way, are placed on each vase of flowers,
so that they can be clearly read.

When we called recently at Max
Schling's store, 24 West 59th st., we
missed seeing Carl Giessler, the genial
and wideawake store manager, for the
reason that he is spending his vacation

'phone, reporting that the night tempera-
ture at Yankee Lake had been almost
down to the frost line, but that he was
enjoying himself greatly at his Summer

seeds were reported as still meeting with
some demand, and Strawberry plants with
a strong demand. Many orders for bulbs
were also reported to have been booked.
French bulbs, including Lilium candidum,
have already arrived, and an early ship-
ment of Tulips from Holland is in stock.
The Autumn bulb catalog will be mailed
about Sept. 1.

J. C. Vaughan returned Saturday
from his trip to the convention. He
spent several days in Omaha, Neb., and
other points in the West before return-
ing. Carl Cropp and Mrs. Cropp are
spending their vacation in California.
Paperwhite Narcissus and Fall bloom-
ing Crocus and other bulbs make an at-
tractive display at the retail store. An
attractive exhibit of Gladioli blooms and
other stock was made the past week at
the Central States Fair held in Aurora,

ing well represented.

At the W. W. Barnard Co. store there
is a good display of bulbs, including both
French, Dutch and California grown.
W K. Partridge is superintending the
retail department and mailing the iall
catalog to the trade. B B. Howe, who
is making a tour through the West since
the convention, is expected to be home
the coming week.

It was somewhat of a surprise to the
local seedsmen and dealers rn import
stock, who believe that the restrictions
of Quarantine 37 should be modified to
a considerable extent, to fail m getting
the endorsement of the convention at
Kansas City. It is quite a rightabout
face in the policy of the society since
the Detroit convention three years ago.

Catalogs Received

Peter Henderson & Co., Cortlandt St., N. Y. —
Catalog of Wheats, Clovers and grasses for Fall
sowing. This firm has a great reputation for its
farm seeds and, judging by the present list, the
pedigree Wheats and Ryes, as well as the various
grasses and Clovers offered, are all that the agri-
culturist can desire. The florist, too, should not
overlook the value of sowing a green crop for plow-
ing under; those with vacant ground would be well
advised to make a sowing of Winter Vetch, which
will thrive even in sand.

Henry S. Cooper, Kenosha, Wis. — Special col-
lection offers of Peonies. Mr. Cooper is famous
for his lavish distribution of blooms in the season,
to railroad travelers in the West. A newspaper
reprint dealing with the Cooper Peony farms ac-
companies the catalog.

Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., Pittsburgh, Pa. —
Fall catalog, featuring a wonderful variety of sun-
dries and supplies required by uptodate florists.
The list is attractively gotten up and is lavishly
illustrated throughout its 48 pages. This firm
is now in its 24th year of business and, apart from
its big trade in supplies, has about half a million
feet of glass from which it cuts a never ceasing
supply, Roses, Carnations, Orchids and other
flowers, the whole of which is disposed of at the
firm's headquarters in Seventh st. The catalog
before us features chiffons and ribbons, together
with preserved foliage, artificial flowers, all kinds
of greens for Winter use, store requisites, includ-
ing lettering, metal flower holders, greenhouse
necessities of all kinds, wire work designs, and
fancy baskets in infinite variety, assuredly a catalog
that every florist should keep on hand.

W. E. Marshall & Co., New York.— Bulbs and
Peonies wi*h a color picture of Tulip Clara Butt,
is all that appears on the white front cover of
this attractive li*tle catalog, beyond the name of
the firm. Narcissus Sir Watkin is shown on the
back cover. Throughout the sixteen pages, pleas-
ing color illustrations of Tulips, Hyacinths, Iris,
Freesias, Lilies and Narcissus appear. The list
of bulbs offered is a select one, the best in each sec-
tion rather than great variety being the dominant
feature. In addition to the standard Holland
bulbs, Amaryllis, Brodiaeas, Calochortus, Camas-
sias, Gladioli of the nanus type, Muscari, Japanese
Iris, bulbous Iris, Nerines, Spiraeas, Lilies, etc.,
are listed, as well as an excellent collection of
Peonies.

W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia. — This
famous Philadelphia house has, like most other
leaders, gotten into the way of issuing more than
one catalog each season. The one before us is not
a rival to the regular Farm Annual, but it is filled
with interesting matter. Bulbs are a strong fea-
ture and the first 16 pages are devoted to such
subjects, most of which are depicted in splendid
half-tone cuts. Hyacinths , Darwin and other late Tu-
lips are a special feature, but hardy Lilies and Nar-
cissi of all kinds are also prominent. Hardy roots, in-
cluding bearded and Japanese Iris, Peonies, Phlox,
etc., too, are given attention, while needless to
state, seeds, particularly Pansies and Sweet Peas,
claim considerable space. Hardy perennial and
greenhouse seeds are also strongly featured, to-
gether with certain kinds of vegetables.

More Troubles for Irish Seedsmen optimism

Alex Dickson & Sons, who recently
had their Dublin branch with all its
stock and books seized by the rebels, ex-
perienced a second setback through the
siege of the Four Courts. All the books,
copies of invoices, etc., that they had as-
sembled after the seizure of their busi-
ness were again confiscated or destroyed
during the battle around the Four Courts.
Sir James W. Mackey, Ltd., seeds-
men, established in Dublin since 1777, have
also suffered; their entire premises and
stock in Sackville st. being totally des-
troyed by fire. Mackey's, Ltd., have tem-
porary offices at Alex. Findlater & Co. s
establishment, at 31 Sackville St., but
Alex. Dickson & Sons are now compelled
to operate at their Belfast headquarters.

Washington, D. C.

The partnership heretofore existing be-
tween G. Edward Schultz and Lewis T.
Miller, trading as G. Edward Schultz
& Co., and located at 304 Tenth st., N. W,
has been dissolved. The business will be
continued by Lewis T. Miller under the
same firm name for the present, but Mr.
Schultz is no longer a partner in the
business.

Evansville, Ind. — The Ohio Valley
Seed Co. recently suffered the loss of its
vice-president, Wm. V. Haberer. No
successor has yet been elected.

Seedsmen report an excellent crop or
Bed Clover seed. The yield will range
from 1 to 3% bu. per acre. W. H.

Beal permanent prosperity is just
around the corner, according to Govern-
ment officials in Washington, who have
been following industrial movements
during the past few months. The first
indication that business generally real-
izes this fact, it is pointed out, is shown
by the announcement that in the steel
industry an increase of 20 per cent in
wages will be made effective immediate-
ly. This step was taken, it is asserted,
not because the employers believe that
the cost of living necessitated an in-
crease but because they foresaw a short-
age of labor as soon as the railroad and
coal strikes are settled.

As soon as the two strikes are set-
tled and production and general trans-
portation are on a more normal basis,
it is declared the country will see a
serious shortage of labor, and with work
available for everyone who wants it,
there will be a prosperity which should
last indefinitely. While, during the Win-
ter, industry may have to get along on
a bare sufficiency of coal and may be
somewhat hampered by the fact that the
railroads will be struggling to resume
their normal operation, it is expected
that each month will see an increased
activity in practically all lines which,
by next Spring, should resolve itself into
a steady and persistent growth of busi-
ness.

This belief is shared by all who have
been watching industrial movements
since the coal strike began in April.
While in July business began to feel
the first real effects of the coal strikes,
heightened as they were by the ham-
pered transportation incident to the rail-
road strike, this situation will be cleared
up shortly after the strikes are settled.

"When the railroad and coal strikes are
settled, and fuel production and trans-
portation get down to a steady basis,
there will undoubtedly be a decided
shortage of labor," declared Secretary
HooA'er, in commenting on the an-
nouncement by the steel industry that
wages were to be increased. "The fact
that there is employment for all who
desire it will, in itself, be an indication
of the prosperity that will ensue."

According to reports received at the
Treasury Department the wage increases
in the steel industry indicate that the
producers believe that the resumption
of normal rail movement will be fol-
lowed by increased demand. When the
rail strike is settled, officials of the De-
partment declared, there will undoubt-
edly be a shortage of labor, and the in-
creases in wages have been made by the
steel industry in order that steel plants
may be assured of an adequate supply
of labor. The steel plants are now
booked well ahead and will be kept busy
for some months filling orders already
taken, it was said.

New California Inspection Departments

Provision has been made by the Post
Office Department for the terminal in-
spection of plants and plant products at
La Habra and Brea, Orange County,
California. These places should be added
to the list of the places in California to
which plants andi plant products subject
to terminal inspection may be sent.

Business Feeling the Pinch

Business during July showed the first
effects of the combination of coal and
railroad strikes, according to figures
which have been received at the De-
partment of Commerce. The greater
scarcity of fuel supplies and the diffi-
culty in transportation, coupled with
the seasonal recession, which was to be
expected, had an effect upon many lines
of industry. The shortage of fuel has
now been felt in many directions and
industrial operations in the near future,
according to Secretary Hoover, will
have to depend, to a considerable ex-
tent, upon the supply of coal available,
as well as upon transportation facilities.

Coincident with the slackening in in-
dustrial output and the increasing short-
age of many commodities, prices have
risen at an increased rate, it is stated.
Prominent in the commodities on which
prices have risen, the reports to the De-
partment show, is coal. Betail prices
also increased, but at a much slower
pace.

The reports to the Department show
that the sales of mail order houses and
chain stores in general showed a sea-
sonal decline last month. That they did
not more definitely show the results of
the strike, it is felt, was due to the
fact that because of the seasonal de-
mands, the business was slowed down
to an extent where any additional re-
cession due to the strike would not be
felt. It is probable that if the seasonal
demand picks up before the strikes are
settled the business will not show as
great an advance as it otherwise would.

A Few Tariff Amendments Cleared

Possibilities that the tariff bill will
not be brought out of conference until
after the November election are begin-
ning to loom up at the Capitol as the
result of the first few days' work on
the measure by the conferees. Out of a
total of 2436 amendments of all kinds,
the conferees succeeded in dealing with
200 the first three days of their work.

Fall in Tax Receipts

Total tax collections from all sources
during the fiscal year which ended June
30, last, were more than a billion dol-
lars below those of the preceding fiscal
year, according to figures just made pub-
lic by Commissioner of Internal Bev-
enue David H. Blair. Although a num-
ber of taxes were removed on Jan. 1,
1922, the greatest part of the falling
off, it is stated, is traceable to the re-
duced income and profits taxes.

Collections from all sources during
the year aggregated $3,197,451,0S3, as
compared with $4,595,357,061 in 1921,
a reduction of $1,397,905,978. Income
and profits taxes amounted to $2,087,-
946,243, as compared with $3,22S,137,-
673, a falling off of $1,140,191,429.

While no direct taxes, other than the
income and profits taxes, were levied
upon the florists, the industry contribu-
ted heavily toward the transportation

and other taxes which were in force un-
til Jan. 1 last. During the six months
of the fiscal year in which they were
effective, these taxes returned to the Gov-
ernment $95,291,894 from freight ship-
ments, $12,475,S68 from express matter,
$5S,042,159 from personal transporta-
tion, $5,991,576 from seats, berths and
staterooms, and $28,086,182 from tele-
graph and long distance telephone mes-
sages, the last named tax being still in
force.

The cost of administering the internal
revenue laws for the fiscal year 1922
was approximately $41,435,000. On this
basis, the cost of collection was $1.30
per $100 collected, compared with 87
cents per $100 for the preceding fiscal
year. However, more than $7,000,000
were spent in enforcing the prohibition
and narcotic laws and $650,000 for the
child labor law, which are not, strictly
speaking, revenue measures, so that the
actual cost of collection for the year
was reduced to $34,262,000, or $1.07 per
$100 collected. On the same basis, the
cost for the previous year was 72 cents
per $100. The difference in the relative
cost for the two years, it is explained,
was due mainly to the very large reduc-
tion in revenues, which did not permit,
however, of a corresponding reduction in
the force necessary for their collection.

Knoxville, Tenn.

Brockaway Crouch, formerly one of the
leading florists of this city and at one
time owner of a florist establishment
which bears his name, has returned to
Knoxville from Washington, D. C, and
has announced the formation of plans to
organize a $50,000 corporation to re-en-
ter the business. Mr. Crouch, who for the
past fourteen months has been connected
with one of the leading floral companies
of Washington, was prior to- that con-
nected with a prominent firm in Detroit
for a similar period of time. In 1917,
Mr. Crouch joined the U. S. Navy, selling
his florist business,, which had been or-
ganized by his grandfather, to Mr. Mc-
Nutt.

It is his intention to build his Knox-
ville plant with a view to going into the
wholesale business. Organization of the
company has not been fully completed.
Mr. Crouch was in attendance at the S.
A. F. convention at Kansas City, where
he expected to make contracts for a por-
tion of the equipment that will be re-
quired in launching the new business.

Atlanta, Ga.

Mrs. John L. Harper, proprietress of
the Hillcrest Gardens, who also is an
officer in the Ladies Confederate Me-
morial Association, has been asked to
pose at the spinning wheel made by her
great-grandfather, the photo to be used
in a forthcoming publication to be called
Representative Women of the South.
Mrs. Harper is making rapid strides
in the florist business and has associated
with her Mrs. R. D. Callahan.

Another successful woman florist is
Mrs. J. F. Whatley, who has just added
to her plant at Griffin, Ga., two new
houses, each 2Sft.x60ft., which will be
devoted to the growing of Roses and
Carnations.

W. E. Joy, of the Joy Floral Co., of
Columbus, Ga., was in town this past
week and reports that business in Co-
lumbus is good.

Miss Ethel Milliean, of the Dahl
Floral Co., has returned from Hot
Springs, Ark., where she has been vis-
iting friends. Miss Nora Wilson, of the
same firm, is also visiting friends in Hot
Springs.

J. H. Landers, with Waehendorff
Bros., has returned from Athens, Ga.,
where he has been on a motor trip.
E. A. Waehendorff has also been motor-
ing through south Georgia this past
week and reports that everywhere busi-
ness conditions are rapidly approaching
normal.

The vacation epidemic has about spent
itself, and at the approach of school
opening, business takes on its normal
aspect. B. W. S.

Young & Sons' Seed and Plant Co. has
been succeeded by Young's the Florist,
1406 Olive st., St. Louis, ftlo., which was
recently incorporated with a capital of
$15,000.

Growing Decorative Foliage Plants

Not Possible on a Small Scale
The average retail grower, even those
1 with large glass areas, no longer make
I it an object to grow on in their own es-
! tablishnients everything they need; they
find it more profitable to let the other
fellow grow on some of the plants and
I buy the stock from him ready fori the
counter. This holds good in particular
i with many socalled decorative foliage
> plants to which we might class the Cro-
l tons, Pandanus, Dracaenas and a num-
ber; of others. You can keep such plants
in a palm or fern house for a long
time in good shape; in fact, if purchased
now and a little attention paid to it, these
plants will keep on growing into value
and the same is true of palms. But in
order to grow such plants from rooted
cuttings or from seed as would have to
be the case with Kentias, Latanias or
Arecas, you could never make it pay on
a small scale. You have to be properly
equipped and grow by* the thousands.
You can never grow on 50 or 100 Panda-
nus Veitchii, Crotons or some of the
beautiful Dracaenas we use today during
Christmas week, as well or as cheap as
you can obtain them from the specialist
who has houses full of each. Don't try to
nurse sick or stunted stock along; fire it
out and let the space be occupied by
good stock. The sooner you get what you
want for this Winter the better.

Irises

How They Pay the Retail Grower

While both the German and Japan
Iris are among the desirable plants for
the hardy border, to the florist who uses
them for cut flowrers, they are not of great
importance. To plant them for that pur-
pose alone hardly pays. However, there
are many hundreds of retail growers who
not only make use of perennials for cut-
ting, but sell, each Spring and Fall, plants
for the gardens of their patrons. It
pays to give more attention to the newer
varieties of German Iris in particular.
There is no good reason to handle and
keep on propagating a lot of worthless,
out of date sorts with so many good ones
at hand. The end of August and during
the month of September is considered the
best time to divide and plant Iris. Most
of the plants will flower next year, at
least enough to let you know what they
are. Even the latest and best varieties
are reasonable in price; you may not need
more than six or eight different shades,
but when the plants are once well estab-
lished they will furnish you each year,
with stock to be sold. Don't plant too
close and always label properly so you
don't get them mixed. Six or eight good
varieties are easier kept separate than
50 and will answer nicely for the average
florist.

September

Things to Do and Think Of

With those who have greenhouses, Sep-
tember means the beginning of another
season; we have to get ready to meet
the first frost and start to bring certain
plants indoors, but what is of as great
importance, is to have the houses them-
selves in proper shape before the end of
the month. In a few weeks, you will
need a good portion of the propagating
bench and it is not too early to repair,
clean and fill the bench to have it ready
when wanted. You want plenty of deep
flats and pans for the planting of bulbs;
it does not take long to do the planting
when everything is ready for it, but if
you have to hunt for flats, or during
a rainy week, have to look for soil, the
bulbs have to remain in the paper bags.
While during Winter and early Spring,
pots from 2%in- to 4in. were mostly
what you used, it is the large sizes you
want now for some of the stock planted
in the open during the Summer months.
A good number of fern dishes, mostly
5in., 6in. and 7in. sizes, will be used
during the next three months.

Godfrey Callas

The Best Sort for Florists

The more one becomes acquainted with
the Godfrey Calla the more this variety
is appreciated and especially so by the
retail grower. A few grown in pots will
pay those who have not space for sev-
eral hundred; often a man with limited
bench space does not feel like giving it up
to Callas, and perhaps have more flowers
than he can actually use for his home
trade. A few dozen pot plants will not
take up valuable bench space, as they can
be placed almost anywhere or moved
about as required. You can, at this
time purchase either pot grown plants
ready for a shift which if consisting of
3in. or S^in. stock will all flower free-
ly this coming Winter, or you can secure
dormant stock offered in l^in. or 2in.
sizes which, if potted up now and slowly
started into growth in a frame or cool

need. If you have to pay a good price
for the flowers, charge accordingly and by
so doing, you will hardly ever have oc-
casion to complain on Paperwhites not
paying.

Lilium Formosum

A Good Variety for the Florist

I consider the socalled formosum Lily
the ideal one to force for the retail
grower; it may not pay the average flo-
rist to try to grow the giganteum Lilies
he needs for Easter, for whenever you
do it on a small scale, it is always more
or less a gamble to get them in just at
the right time. Let the specialist and
the large grower do it and buy the plants
in bud and bloom a couple of weeks
before Easter, but for what you need
in the way of Lilies from the end of
February on, even up to Easter, stick
to the formosums. Even bulbs planted
of this variety as early as September

house and later on moved to a house of
a little over 50, will make nice flowered
stock. Grow a few at least for your
retail trade.

A Talk on Paperwhites

Does It Pay to Grow Them?

At a first glance it may seem almost
a waste of time to write about Paper-
whites in a trade paper, when almost
anybody can flower the bulbs in a pan
of water in an ordinary window. On the
other hand, many florists last Winter
hardly got their money back from the
bulbs they forced. But for all that, Pa-
perwhites are still valuable flowers and
should be grown by every florist who re-
tails the stock in his establishment. To
my mind, by far more florists should grow
Paperwhites but less should grow more
than they have actual use for. The min-
ute you figure on having a thousand com-
ing into bloom per week during Decem-
ber and January where you really only
have use for 400 or 500, you run chances
of meeting a glutted market. For what-
ever surplus you have you can hardly
blame the Paperwhites for it, nor the
prieet you paid for the bulbs. Grow
Paperwhites no matter what they cost,
for you will have good use for the flowers,
but don't overload them. You can pretty
near tell what your trade requires during
normal conditions and that is the amount
you should try and have coming in. Pur-
chase in the market whatever more you

may be had in flower as late as Easter,
not all of them, but a good percentage,
if they are grown in a Carnation house
temperature. Here you will find some
of the plants set buds by the middle of
February and be 30in. in height, while
others are only 12in. and won't set buds
during the next five or six weeks, but
they will all come along nicely if given
time.

Forcing Formosum Lilies

On a Small Scale

While the least check to the Giganteum
Lilies may have bad results, no matter
how good and sound the bulbs may be,
you will hardly ever experience serious
trouble with the formosums, as long as
you do not want the plants to come into
flower for a certain date. Give the bulbs
a liberal sized pot, good drainage and a
fair soil and place the freshly potted
bulbs in a frame; a 3in. or 4in. layer
of soil over the pots will prevent drying
out and help keep the soil cool. Don't
let the pots dry out and place a little
' shade over the frames until active growth
begins. By October and before danger
of frost, bring the plants to a Carnation
house; some may be 6in. tall, others just
coming. Place on a light bench and keep
them clean at all times. If you want to
hustle some of the more advanced plants
at any time, after they have become pot-
bound, they can stand ten more degrees,
but they can be successfully handled in
a 50 deg. house.

Goatsbeard Spiraea

One of the popular numbers in grand-
mothers' gardens was the Goatsbeard
Spiraea. It is still considerably planted,
and is carried in almost every nursery
catalog. Here it is practically always
listed as Spiraea Aruncus, but Bailey's
Cyclopedia puts it down as Aruncus Syl-
vester. It seems to thrive equally under
either name.

It is a large, vigorous herbaceous plant,
sometimes growing to 5ft. or 6ft. on good
soil. It is extremely hardy, and not fussy
about anything. It makes striking masses,
especially when placed against dark back-
grounds. It is suitable for general plant-
ing; can be used in shrub borders or
foundation groupings.

While the flower trusses are very strik-
ing, the foliage is also distinctive and
attractive. It propagates readily by
division. Frank A. Waugh.

[The entire family of hardy herbaceous
Spiraeas and Astilbes is worthy of greatly
extended culture. Every florist growing
hardy perennials should feature them on
his grounds; they have a great appeal for -
garden lovers, particularly ladies. So
long as there is a sufficiency of moisture,
they will thrive and can easily be in-
creased by division. The pink flowered
Astilbes of the Arendsii type make a
wonderful show. — Ed.]

Seattle Gladiolus Show

The first annual exhibition of the
Seattle Gladiolus Society was held in
the Fine Arts Building. Seattle, on Aug.
15 and 16 and was a decided success. Al-
though purely an amateur exhibition the
trade was represented by W. E. Sher-
brooke, Kirkland. Wash., who staged a
fine representative collection. Especial-
ly noticeable were Albania, pure white,
the finest of its class on exhibition.
Leota, a seedling raised by Joe Coleman,
Ravenna, O., a very delicate salmon self,
and beautifully fringed is promising for
commercial work. Lustre, flaming or-
ange crimson; Mareehal Foch (Kun-
derd ) , light salmon ; Pink Wonder, a
Kemp seedling; Peach Rose (Kunderd),
a • carmine pink with brilliant crimson
blotch, were others prominent. Blooms
of the $15 per eorin Richard Deiner
were good, but surpassed by several local
seedlings. The popular varieties, Mrs.
Frank Pendleton. Mrs. Francis King,
Dr. Norton, Buttercup. Alice Toplady.
and Ming Toy, were also well staged by
this exhibitor.

The Whitnev-Tustin Gladioli Gardens
had a nice exhibit of the popular com-
mercial varieties including Bailey, Amer-
ica, Prince of Wales, and a striking
vase of Salmon Beauty.

Tom Wylie helped the show along by
an artistically arranged collection of
hardy perennials, including particularly
fine 'vases of Thalictrum dipteroearpum,
Aeonitum autumnale, Echiuops ritro,
Eryngium oliverianum. Statice latifoha,
Liatris spicata, Inula Royleana, Platy-
codon Mariesii, Artemesia lactiflora, and
Lilium Henryi.

The amateur section of the show con-
tained 400O spikes of bloom, of excellent
quality. Oscar Jensen, president of the
society, showed nearly 100 seedlings of
his own crosses; they were an eye
opener to several experts who visited
the show. In the opinion of this writer
the exhibit contained varieties equaling
and probably surpassing anything on
the market today. I am hoping to deal
more fully with the results of this gen-
tleman's labors later on.

Considering that the society has been
in existence only two months, and that
no prizes were offered the officers and
members of the society are entitled to
much credit. Geo. Cooper.

Delicious Peaches

The Florists Exchange

New Orleans, La.

The Market

Aug. 26. — While the northern cities
hare been sweltering under the pressure of
the most severe heat wave of the season,
New Orleans has been sitting back and tak-
ing things easy, the temperature here hav-
ing been well within bounds all the week. It
has been hot enough, however, to make the
home grown flowers open rather fast, es-
pecially with the aid of a midday shower
almost daily. The result is that the local
market is rather glutted at the present
time.

The demand for floral decorations has
been light this week, in line with the
general Summer conditions, the only busi-
ness of importance being funerals and hos-
pital work. Florists declare that "health
in the community has been unusually
good" for the past week!

Yellow Chrysanthemums from Cali-
fornia made their appearance in down-
town florists' shops during the week, and
they are unusually large and beautiful.
Florists declare that they have never seen
better ones. As a rule, the shipments are
arriving in good condition, considering the
hot weather and the great distance they
travel. They are being ordered in small
lots, and as yet the demand is light. They
retail at from $5 to $10 per dqz., depend-
ing on size, quality and condition. The
demand for them will not open on a large
scale before October.

Radiance Eoses, home grown, are still
being featured in retail shops, but dealers
are buying sparingly, as they are of As-
ters. Flowers arriving from the Middle
West are said to be reaching here in bad
condition on account of the severe heat
during the past ten days.

Flower Shops Making Improvements

The flower shops located at 112
University pi. and at Washington and
Carondelet sts. respectively, H. Schuere-
man, owner, are making improvements
preparatory to the Fall revival in busi-
ness. The shop at University pi. is being
repainted, including the refrigerators and
display cases. The workroom is being
enlarged in order to take care of a con-
templated increase in business. Similar
improvements are to be made to the shop
in the residential section at Washington
and Carondelet sts.

There is much activity out at Charles
Eble's garden on Upperline st., at the pres-
ent time, and the work will continue for
some time. They are devoting their ef-
forts to putting out palms, Chrysanthe-
mums and Roses for the Fall and Winter
trade. Ferns are also coming in for a lot
of attention as well as orchids. One whole
house is being given over to the latter,
and the growth is excellent.

State Park Association to Be Formed

A call has been sent out by the
Park and Parkway Extension Committee
for a convention to be held in this city in
November, for the purpose of organizing
a State Park Association. The move has
been sanctioned by the Audubon Park
Auxiliary Association, which has recently
elected new officers for the coming year.

"Louisiana is just beginning to realize
the value of State parks," said Dr. W.
Scheppegrell, chairman of the committee.
"Other States have made, great progress
in this respect and have developed many
beauty spots. Along the routes of many
of our highway projects there are places
of natural beauty which can easily be ob-
tained for park purposes if we start to
work on them right now.

"A park association with a large mem-
bership, representative of every parish
and community in the State, can accom,
plish a world of good; and such an organi-
zation is going to be formed at the New
Orleans convention in November," the
chairman declared.

Flower Planting as Part of Clean Up
Drive

A flower planting drive, under the
auspices of the New Orleans Horticultural
Society, is an important phase of the plans
of the ' clean up" committee of the Asso-
ciation of Commerce's civic council in its
effort to induce householders to make their
homes more attractive. The society will
appoint a member of the organization each
month who will prepare a list of flowers
suitable for planting during that month,
with detailed instructions for planting
and cultivating, for the information of
the home gardener. The lists will be pub-
lished, and it is expected that the move
will have a telling effect for the good in
arousing pride in the appearance of New
Orleans homes and surroundings.

Paul Abele was appointed to formulate
a list of flowers for August planting, and
instructions for caring for them. Mr.
Abele recommended as annuals and bi-
ennials, Marigolds, Cosmos, Zinnias, Flow-
ering Periwinkle, Torrenia and Chrysan-
themums. For foliage plants he advised
the planting of Coleus, Acalypha, Stfo-
bilanthus and Caladiuni.

He also issued a lengthy statement as
to how the seeds and bulbs should Tie
planted, and the preparation and care of
the ground, even going into details as to
the best time of day and the best weather
for planting.

Biloxi to Be Big Strawberry Center

News comes from our nearby neigh-
boring city, Biloxi, Miss., that plans are
now on foot for making that little city
and vicinity one of the biggest Strawberry
raising and shipping points in that sec-
tion of the South. Agricultural agents
are working on a plan to induce farmers
over the county to plant Strawberries in
sufficient quantities as to insure the ship-
ment of carload lots next season, and
Biloxi will be the shipping center of the
county, should the project go through. So
far, the plans are encouraging. Farmers
are taking an interest in the proposition,
and with the soil in that vicinity being

Eeculiarly adapted to the raising of Straw-
eries, there is no doubt that there is a
great future for the city, once the in-
dustry gets under way fully.

R. R. McD.

Houston, Texas

The National Convention

Texas is a far cry from Kansas
City, and one must anticipate something
worth while before making such a trip..
The writer did. Those of us who were
there know that no visitor was disap-
pointed. Many cities are smaller than
Kansas City. Most florists in those smaller
cities are smaller florists than those in
Kansas City. It was an ins'tructive treat
to visit retail stores that were better than
yours. It was interesting to note the
various means that the larger florists used
in making attractive window displays; in
displaying their flowers; in keeping their
accounts — accounts that spoke volumes —
rather than just filing them. It was pleas-
ant to be greeted so cordially by every
florist you visited, and to be taken
through his store, and have everything
explained to you. Lots of us were able
to learn, every time wre turned around.
The spirit of readiness to spread a good
idea, was conspicuous in all the Kansas
City retail stores.

It was interesting to visit the wholesale
florists, where the flowers come from. It
was beneficial to meet the men behind
these organizations, men whose names
have been broadcasted so much. A larger
perspective of one's profession is always
a good revelation.

At the convention it was especially in-
spiring to look up those florists who are
national figures: Max Schling, small in
stature, but large in the business, and
fairly radiating enthusiasm, originality
and pep. George Stumpp, whose quiet de-
meanor but impressive appearance re-
minded one of the rock of Gibraltar; a
florist firmly, solidly established, with his
heart in his work, and a philosophy as
beautiful as the flowers themselves. Then
there was the pompous, portly Breit-
meyer; one pointed to him as the presi-
dent of the F. T. D., and as you looked
the title of president seemed to fit him
better and better. Philip Breitmeyer, an
imposing name for a truly imposing man;
one who has done much for our profession,
and who stands among the highest in it
today. Then our new president, Irwin
Bertermann; you looked at kirn, and im-
mediately you smiled with the thought,
"There is a man." His face is as open
and frank, his eye as true as light itself,
and his personality is the acme of cordi-
ality and sincerity. Always known1 .as a
worker, always famed for his successes,
Bertermann stands today as a man many
of us look io as a model.

These are only a few of them, but to
us they are great men, all of them. They
are the greatest florists in the country;
they are the outstanding successes in our
business; they are leaders in flowers. If
the convention at Kansas City accom-
plished nothing more than to afford a
meeting place for the florists of the coun-
try to see one another and to exchange
opinions, viewpoints and experiences, the
resultant inspiration would be well worth
the effort.

But the convention did more than that.
It bought us retailers into direct contact
with the wholesale men, the supply houses

— with the beginning of our business, as
it were. This personal contact is always
valuable; it promotes interest, it betters
understanding, it stimulates enterprise.

The meetings of the convention proper
had a certain number of formalities and
dull reports, which many of us were not
interested in. But there were talks which
w-ere inspirational; there were proceedings
which were landmarks in our business.
It is good that one should hear both sides
of the quarantine question at first hand,
so one can intelligently decide whether the
quarantine really is a good thing or not.
It is good that we should be enlightened
about our national advertising campaign,
its progress and, what some people think,
we included, its lack of progress. It is
very beneficial that we should be told
about the probable business conditions for
the next few years, especially when they
are prophesied as rosy. We like all of
that.

In short, the National Convention was
a playground for many of us part of the
time, and a school the rest of the time.
It is great to be able to play with big
men, realizing a common bond of under-
standing, and it's great to go to school
with them. C. E. W.

Trade Notes

Business last week showed quite an
improvement over the preceding week, due
to the increased amount of funeral wrork
that called for the supply of fairly good
stock. The wholesalers report that this is
the first week this Summer they cleaned
out everything daily. In fact, during
some of the days it was found difficult to
fill all orders for Gladioli. Orchids and
Lily of the Valley have been exceptionally
short. The early Asters are about over,
and the later crop will not put in an ap-
pearance until about the middle of next
month. At that time the inside stock
will be available. This situation is pro-
ducing something of a scarcity of good
Asters, for the end of the outdoor stock
is usually very poor. Prices are running
from $1 to $5 per 100. Taken as a whole,
Asters are better this year than they have
been for many years, and consequently are
bringing better prices.

The cool nights have prevented the
Dahlias from opening up as well as might
be desired. However, a very good cut of
Dahlias is being offered at the present
time, and with other varieties of flowers
, going off the market Dahlias are filling
in very nicely. The top price is $3 per
, 100, although some few have brought $4
per 100. These prices will advance sharp-
ly as the demand increases and the supply
of other stock generally decreases.

Easter Lilies are cleaning up nicely
each day and realize $15 per 100. The
'oversupply of Gladioli has been killing
the sale of rubrum Lilies, and prices on
these have dropped considerably. There
has been a real scarcity of orchids, for
only a few Harrisonii on sprays are ob-
tainable, and efforts to get other varieties
in New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore
were of no avail. Lily of the Valley is
also scarce, and there is not enough to
go around at $8 per 100. One of the local
wholesalers was compelled to telegraph to
Philadelphia for 50 Valley last week to
fill a local order. When the box arrived,
it carried with it an express charge of
53c, or more than lc. for each spray.

Outside stock is failing fast, and with
business increasing there is a healthy de-
mand for all stock that is offered in the
market each day. Outside Gladioli are
about at an end; generally the prices run
up as high as $6 per 10.0 for the best.

Among the Roses, Russell and Columbia
are perhaps the best, and the top grades
are bringing $15 per 100. Short stemmed
blooms from the new stock sell at $2 to
$€ per 100. A quantity of short stemmed
Carnations were offered in the market last
week, and were picked up for funeral
work. Zinnias, Coxcomb and Delphinium
are offered but meet very slow sale.

The Market

We are happy to report business
on the up grade; no great rush, but look-
ing good. There is not quite so much
stock piled up in the wholesale houses,
and the market is gradually showing some
strength. The overproduction of poor
flowers makes a lot of work, and little
profit, however.

New crop Roses are coming in; Gla-
dioli are passing; Dahlias are becoming
more plentiful and the fancy sorts sell
more freely at good prices. Lilies are in
good demand and fair supply. Orchids
are scarce and the demand light.

Miscellaneous flowers continue to ar-
rive in vast quantities. Asparagus from
the South is overloading the market.

News Notes

Fred Reitz's new house is rapidly
nearing completion; it is across the road
from his new greenhouses, and will be
the beginning of a new range of glass on
that side of the pike. Fred has a nice
lot of ferns growing on tables, ready to
be lifted. His field Roses have made a
remarkable growth this season and prom-
ise strong, heavy pot plants for next
Spring.

Harry Wagner of the floor staff of S.
S. Pennoek Co., is back from his vaca-
tion.

The Baltimore Wholesale Florist and
Supply Co., is receiving a heavy cut of
Columbia, Russell, Premier and Mrs.
Aaron Ward Roses; for size, color and sub-
stance, this stock is classified as A-No. 1.
Eugene L. Newton of the Wallbrook

Miss Margaret and Miss Jessie Graham
are touring the Great Lakes and the Thou-
sand Islands; they will visit Atlantic City
before returning.

Quick & Foster of Wynhurst and Law-
rence aves., Roland Park, have a won-
derful cut of indoor Asters. They are
shipping to the Baltimore Wholesale Flo-
rist & Supply Co.

Wm. Seidlich of Woodlawn has a big
acreage in outdoor flowers and the fields
of Dahlias, Zinnias, Cosmos, Marigolds
and Celosia are at present a mass of col-
or. Most of this stock is sent to Lexing-
ton Market and disposed of at retail. Mr.
Seidlich reports a fair Summer season. In
the greenhouses, the stock of Carnations,
Chrysanthemums and pot plants look flour-
ishing. Material for a new house is on
the place and will probably be erected
and planted long before the snow flies.

The first consignment of Henry Eich-
holz's new red Carnation Otello, arrived
at the Balto Wholesale Florists and Sup-
ply Co. last week. It is a fiery scarlet
and in size and form, resembles a Ca-
mellia flower. It is destined to become
a widely grown, every day red and has
been much admired here. Pres. Person-
ette has just returned from a visit to
Waynesboro and reports Mr. Eichholtz's
range in the finest possible condition, with
prospects of a tremendous flowering of
Otello in view for all season.

Charles Hochstedt of Hamilton is well
up with the Summer work and his houses
are filled with Chrysanthemums, Carna-
tions, Roses and pot plants. The indoor
Red Badiance Roses have made a wonder-
ful growth in the last three months and
have produced a good lot of excellent
flowers.

Some of our growers are looking up oil
burning outfits for the boilers. The great
uncertainty of the coal supply has been
the cause of this investigation.

George J. Joerg, New Hyde Park, L. I.

Long Island, N. Y., has long been recog-
nized as one of the main centers of
Gladiolus culture. Years before many of
the present day specialists were heard of,
the name of Hallock was familiar to all
who dealt in Gladiolus and other bulbs.
Until Texas and other centers demon-
strated they could produce Tuberoses in
one-half the time, most of the bulbs used
by florists the world oyer were grown by
Hallock on Long Island.

Later, when John Lewis Childs took
oyer the Hallock stocks, Long Island be-
came even more famous for its Gladioli.
Not only did Floral Park produce vast
quantities of Gladiolus bulbs, but many
notable varieties were originated there.
Intimately mixed up with these cultures,
although perhaps not generally known to
the outside world, was Leonard Joerg.
For 18 years he served H. B. Hallock as
a grower, and when the Hallock stocks
were transferred to Floral Park, Leonard
Joerg migrated also, and for 25 years he
remained, although half of that period he
spent at Childs' new farms at Flowerfield.

George J. Joerg's Start

It is not surprising that Leonard Joerg's
family of boys took to the same work,
and it was only when his father traveled
to Flowerfield that the subject of this
note, G. J. Joerg, decided to break away.
He had the grit and the necessary knowl-
edge, and that was about all, but it was
enough. Hiring a piece of ground, in
addition to the patch behind his father's
house, then no longer needed by Joerg
pere, G. J. set to work to build up a busi-
ness as a Gladiolus grower. For a year
or two it was a case of sailing near the
wind, but in the end his ability to supply
sound, healthy bulbs, true to name, put
him in good standing with the trade, and
from that time he has never looked tack.

Three years or so ago he secured 27
acres of land a short distance from the
town, part of it wooded. With two or
three brothers to help him, the 'labor
Question was not a serious matter, and
then to make it a family affair, the father
severed his connection with Flowerfield,
and turned in the experience of over iO
years. With such a combination of knowl-
edge and energy — Leonard Joerg at 65
can do his bit with the rest — and aided
by a Fordson tractor and a stump pulling
machine, one can readily realize that
nothing is likely to bar the progress of
the firm. Much of the woodland has been
cleared. The latest "break" will be sown
to Rye this Fall.

Signs of Progress

A concrete block storage shed was built
last year, as well as a dwelling, and this
season 15 acres are almost entirely de-
voted to Gladioli. What is not down to
Gladioli is, in the main, devoted to bulbs.
Father Joerg is something in the way of
a Lily crank. He has been mixed up
with bulbs so long that it is to be expected
that he would not be happy with Gladioli
alone. Consequently, one finds several
long beds devoted to Lilies of various
kinds. At the time of my visit, Aug. 25,
these were of course fast ripening off,
and it will not be long before the largest
bulbs will be in the hands of the regular
bulb merchants. L. regale, L. tenuifolium,
h. tignnum in several forms, L. testaceum,
L sulphureum, L. Henryi, L. speeiosum
rubrum, etc., are all being raised suc-
cessfully; the Regal Lily being one of the
tew sorts possible from seed, is in the
greatest quantity. Father Joerg has much
of the ground behind his house devoted
to Lilies also, and even Calla Elliotiana
and a new improved hardier form of
same and C. Rhemanii are being grown
with every appearance of success. Both
these Callas showed evidence of having
flowered freely.

An Interesting Character

It goes without saying that Leonard
Joerg is an interesting character. Born
m b-ermany, but brought to America at
a very early age, he possesses all the plant
loving instincts and the patience of his
race, and today he works with the same
interest as ever he did. Everything in
the hardy plant line has its attraction fol-
ium and seedling raising is an obsession,
beedhng Strawberries are one of his fads
and if space and time permit, I dare'
hazard he will be raising seedling Lily
of the Valley, for the beds of this flower
in his garden contained an abundance of
seed.

Seedling Gladioli

Needless to state, with his coming seed-
ling Gladioli have become a feature. A
patch on the farm down to seedling of
this season's sowing, would make an aver-
aged sized lawn. In appearance the bed
is not unlike grass. Farther afield, how-
ever, was still greater evidence, for thou-
sands of seedling Primulinus and large
flowered forms were blooming for the first
time, while nearby were many rows cod-
taining seedlings which were flowering,
or had flowered for the second time.

The name of Joerg will in the next few
years, become prominent. Already the
firm has given evidence of its work in the
seedling line, for at the New York Gladi-
olus Show recently, G. J. Joerg scored
first with the best seedling, a giant white
with slight red pencilings in the throat.
As I write, a spike of this seedling is
before me. Six of the ten flowers are
fully open, the bottom bloom being 5% in.
across. At the show, some blooms touched
6in. It is easily the most impressive
white yet seen, for the flowers are wide
and expanded like an Amaryllis.

Another remarkable break is a pure
white Primulinus, the first yet recorded,
while another of the same type is a soft
yellow, which rivals Alice Tiplady for
size. Several other whites of striking
merit were also observed, together with
some remarkably fine salmon pinks, both
in the large and Primulinus types.

demand, and in this he shows wisdom, be-
cause some of the old sorts can easily hold
their own with much higher priced stock.
Naturally he has his own ideals, and he
favors those with at least ten flowers on
a spike. The squat, closely crowded
spikes do not appeal to him, and it is his
view that Schwaben will not long hold
public favor. It surely won't when the
big yellow Primulinus referred to comes
on the scene.

Indeed, one may venture that with such
a flood of fine high quality seedlings being
produced all over the country, there will
be no room for many of the varieties that
are now in the limelight. Seedling Gladi-
oli are easy enough to raise, perhaps too
easy, but not everyone has the ability and
the nerve to stand by an ideal. G. J.
is one of them, and he is not likely to
depart from the standard he has in mind.
With a lifetime among Gladioli, plus the
46 years' experience of his father, L
Joerg, one can reckon that G. J. Joerg
has Gladioli figured out to a fine degree.
Not in a long while have I spent a more
interesting time than I did with these
worthy growers. W.

Carnations as a substitute for farm crops are being tried out on a large
scale near Washington, D. C, where Alexander Gude is growing some 65,000
Carnation plants for his brother, Wm. F. Gude, of Gude Bros. Co. The Car-
nations were set out in April and on July 17, as shown by our illustration,
are rapidly approaching maturity. Several different varieties are being
grown, among them Red Matchless, Laddie, Lassie and Democracy. The
development of the "Carnation farm" will be watched with interest, as it
is a new experiment in this section of the country. — C. L. L.

Judging by the growth of some of the
seedlings which had finished flowering, I
missed some remarkably fine things, al-
though Mr. Joerg assured me that the
growth of their Gladioli this season was
not np to the average, due to the unusually
cool, dull periods and the superabundance
of rain, which is not favorable to the soil,
owing to its clay bottom. Be that as it
may, there was little to find fault with in
the way of growth, particularly as the
position is wind swept.

All the most popular sorts are grown in
quantity, and it is an open question
whether any grower in the world has such
a stock of that wonderful yellow and crim-
son Lemoinei variety La Couronne. This
won a special at the New York show and
I confess that it is one of the most beau-
tiful of the whole Gladiolus family. With
its great, expanded, boldly blotched flow-
ers, six to eight open at one time, it
"hits" one bang in the eye. Among other
standbys still in fine condition were Wm.
Falconer, Grenadier, Scarsdale and Con-
trast, the latter most striking with its
scarlet flowers heavily blotched with pure
white. Wonderful to relate, too, this
farm features the old Brenchleyensis in
large quantities. This old timer is still
in great request. Golden West, a Primuli-
nus form, too, was in good shape.

It would necessitate a catalog to
enumerate all the varieties grown. Many
new sorts are given a try out, but G. J.
Joerg devotes the major part of his at-
tention to varieties that are in regular

charming, peaceful landscape where hill
and dale abound ; where the people are
industrious and prosperous. Each of
these towns can boast of several florist
establishments, many of them easy of
access from the main roads.

Situated on the "Air Line" route from
Boston to Worcester, in Natick, is the
establishment of Alexander Montgomery,
which specializes in Roses. Sure, Mr,
Montgomery dabbles a little in Carna-
tions, and does them as well as his
Roses, which means as well the best.
There are eight large houses, and to find
a neater looking place one will have
far to go. Alec seems to have gone
"nutty" on painting for, no matter when
one visits the place, it shines in virgin
white, inside and out. Two of the houses
carry Carnations, which look as if they
meant business. Matchless, Morning
Glow, Ward and Maine Sunshine, not a
bad combination. When the writer called.
Alec was roaming in the mountains or
on the seashore for a vacation and the
scribe had to wander through the Rose
houses all by his lonesome. First he
found one house of double white Kil-
larney ; young plants as thrifty and
strong as they possibly could be. The
foliage dark green and surmounted by
a growth of bristling, young red shoots.
The next house contained Ophelia and
Butterfly, also in the pink of condition.
A house of older stock, Columbias ap-
peared just as good as did a house of

Premier, young plants again. Next 1 1
noted one house of old Columbias and
one house of old Hadleys, Crusaders
and Ophelias. The plants in these two ■
houses were cut back and just breaking
into robust growth. The last house is
a large one, holding seven benches. It
does not take the visitor long to see
that he is in a Montgomery place ; Rose
growing seems to run in the family.

James Wheeler
Not far from the Montgomery place
and a little back from the road, is the
establishment of James Wheeler, the
home, among many other surprises, of I
the Godfrey Calla. The man who still I
has the idea that this Calla is inferior, I
in size, to the old-fashioned Calla ethio- I
pica. Richardia africana. will change his I
opinion when he sees the tubers that are ]
produced on this place. The Callas
seem to like their home and boss, other- I
wise they would not make flower stems, I
over 6ft. tall, as they did last Winter.
The men were just planting one 200ft.
house. The sun was nice and warm and
the writer congratulated himself that
he didi not have to plant the tubers, for
it meant making holes Tin. to Sin. deep.
These tubers were from 5in. to 6in.
long and many weighed a pound and a
half. Some tubers. I'll tell the world.
They are planted into the solid ground,
about 1ft. by 2ft. apart and the watering
is done by the Skinner system. The
plants grow luxuriantly, and the num-
bers of flowers they produce is almost
unbelievable, until one sees the root sys-
tem they develop. Mr. Wheeler has such
a demand for his fine flowers that he is
compelled to build another house ex-
pressly for Callas. The new house is
to be 300ft. x43ft., so one may figure that,
there will be some Calla blooms for'
next Winter. The offsets are produced
in enormous numbers and find a good
demand ; in fact, there are never enough.
Besides Callas, Mr. Wheeler grows
two houses of Carnations. One of these
is 30Oft.x6Oft., the other 200ft.x40ft. In
the first, there are, among the usual
commercial varieties, 9000 plants of Mr.
Wheeler's new pink sport of Matchless,
which is a valuable acquisition and
takes well in the market. A fine lot of
his own seedlings are also to be found.
The Carnations are grand plants and
all have their first wires and strings.
Mr. Wheeler is quite a hand, too, at the
nursery business and devotes a good deal
of land to the growing of evergreens,
especially Taxus in four prominent va-
rieties. Then there are great blocks of
Euonymus vegetus and E. latifolia ;
also Thnyas, Retinosporas and other
evergreens'. Gladioli of the best sorts
also are much planted.

What took the writer's eye more than
anything is the beautiful home of Mr.
Wheeler. This handsome, large bunga-
low, all overhung with the luxurious
growth of about a dozen of the noblest
climbers, is situated on top of a gentle
rise among grand specimens of conifers.
Here are large sized Taxus, such as one
does not often have the pleasure of ad-
miring. Several of these Taxus are '
valuable sports, not to be found any-
where else and highly treasured by their
owner. One can see at first glance that
here is the home place of a man who
appreciates Nature's wonderful creations
and knows how to make use of them.
Mr. Wheeler is well pleased with the
Fordson tractor and the "Merry Gar-
den" cultivator.

William Morris

William R. Morris has four large,
wide Carnation houses in Wellesley, on
the Natick line. His flowers always
have a great reputation in the market
and he generally manages to produce
record crops. "He grows Matchless,
Morning Glow, Benora, Beacon. Ward,
Laddie, Rosalia, Cottage Maid. Pink De-
light, altogether about 75,000. .

R. & J. Farquhar Co., Boston

The establishment of R. & J. Farquhar
Co. of Boston is one of the oldest, largest
and best known in the Eastern States.
Established many years ago by the late
John K. M. L. Farquhar as a seed store,
it has grown to immense proportions, and
includes today, besides the store at 6 •
Sputh, Market st., Boston, three large nur-
series1 (ipa'' an extended range of green-
houses. The firm also has long held an
enviable reputation for the laying out of

in

After nearly fifty years of

* going through the mill , '

Fritz Bahr writes a book

Fritz Bahr s
Commercial
Floriculture

A Practical Manual for the Retail Grower

The author needs no introduction here. His "Week's
Work," which has been appearing every Saturday in the
columns of The Florists Exchange, that well known
National Trade Paper, has long placed him in the front
ranks of practical men who write in a practical way. More than
one fellow florist has called him a genius — which he
certainly is, if for no other reason than that he is a philos-
opher who can make his philosophy clear and practical for
others; whose philosophy is based not on what he things,
merely, but on what he knows as a result of nearly half a
century's successful experience.

Readers of THE EXCHANGE familiar with Mr. Bahr's thorough grasp of the everyday problems and
possibilities ahead of the Retail Grower, combined with his extensive cultural knowledge, and his mastery of
expressing practice in words, will quickly conjure up the wealth of informative material covering 234 pages,
presented in the following chapters of the book:

Chap. 1 — The Retail Grower and His Business. Chap. 4 — Practical Operations in the Growing End of the

Chap. 2— Indoors and Outdoors all the Year 'Round. „. , c .B,usi,n.ess- ...... , , _ ., „ '

Chap, j — bide Line Possibilities for the Retail Grower.
Chap. 3 — The Retail grower and His Equipment. Chap. 6 — Important Flower Days of the Year.

Chap. 7 — All Kinds of Plant Materials for the Retail Grower.

ADDED to the wide range of ground covered in the above chapters, will appear in Part II over 300 pages of
cyclopedic information plus pertinent advice.

Here all the types of plant, shrub, tree and vine that the reader is likely to handle, whether he grows them all or not,
are brought to the reader's attention. Whether it is best to try to grow them; and if so, how; what they are best suited for;
how to make the most of them ; which varieties to use and which to avoid — these and all other things that every man
ought to know, but that comparatively so few of us do know, are discussed by Fritz Bahr in his inimitable, unmistakable,
convincing, encouraging style.

Illustrations. — More than 270 fine halftones made from photographs carefully selected — and in some cases es-
pecially taken — for this work will intensify the desire for its possession. They picture every phase of all sides of the busi-
ness and the great majority of its materials in the way they ought to be grown. This remarkable feature includes a helpful,
illuminating typical Fritz Bahr caption for every illustration.

In brief, FRITZ BAHR'S COMMERCIAL FLORICULTURE is the kind of a book that it takes a lot of time, a lot of
money, a lot of work and a lot of experience to make. But when it's made — well then you HAVE SOMETHING

The book is on the press now. A quick demand for copies
is assured. You can reserve your copy by filling out the order
blank to the right and mailing it at once.

Profitable Pointers for the Florist

(Continued on page 614)
Dear Sir:

They tell of a cave in the Pantheon
where a guide, by merely flapping his coat,
ean make a noise equal to the report of
a twelve pound cannon! In a lesser de-
gree the same can be accomplished in the
Mammoth Cave of Kentucky.

Over in Finland there is a cave bear-
ing the startling name of Smellin where
a scream will last nearly a half hour,
while Pliny tells us of a cave in Dalma-
tia into which a stone tossed will raise
a perfect storm.

Conditions producing such echoes are
uncommon. So are the conditions surr
rounding the production of floral echoes —
for there are echoes in the floral as well
as in the physical world.

Most folks know the Mammoth Cave is
a wonderful place, even when they haven't
been the.re. Tourists realize that it adds
to their prestige to say, "I've been in the
Mammoth Cave."

Many folks have realized that it also
adds to their prestige, as well as their
satisfaction, to buy their flowers at Mc-
Omber's. For, like the echoes of Mam-
moth Cave, these have lasting and depend-
able qualities.

Our experience in serving the public
has been highly pleasing. Our customers
are well satisfied. We would like to add
your patronage to the Echo of full satis-
faction. Sincerely,

A novel window suggestion was found
in the store of a florist located in a
smaller town. He placed a large clock
face in the store window and painted on
the face in large letters: 75 per cent. Then
below- a sign explained in these words:

Why not Occasionally Send Flowers?
75% is the Average Time a Man
Spends Away from his Family
Due to Business and Other Duties.
Why Not Occasionally Send Flowers
As a Proxy for Your Thoughts?
Think It Over.
In the plan for advertising, one florist
follows the firm rule of never issuing any
personal advertising material unless it is
of a useful nature. For example, blot-
ters, calendars, notebooks and other sou-
venirs are distributed by him, but never
cards or printed slips that do not pos-
sess some useful value. He believes this to
be a pointer worth following as it per-
petuates the length of the advertisement —
and he looks upon advertising in his busi-
ness as a supplementary business measure
that requires frequent presentation to be
of proper value.

Another business pointer respected by
one florist is in having it understood
in his office that no one will ever answer
any telephone inquiries with the words,
"Mr. Williams is out." He always in-
forms his office where he is going and en-
courages them to so advise those who
might inquire. He believes that if cus-
tomers call up frequently and always re-
ceive the same answer of absence they may
become possessed of the fact that "he is
never there," — when, on the contrary, he
desires them to know that all business
has his personal interest and attention,
the factors responsible for its success.

at the Flower Show of the High Park
Horticultural Society. There was a beau-
tiful collection of Gladioli, Asters, Lilies,
Salvias, Dahlias, etc. The hall was
crowded during the whole exhibition.

Mimico Horticultural Society held its an-
nual flower show Aug. 19. The judges were
T. H. P. Hammett, Geo. Baldwin and
R. Johnston. Mr. Hammett, who is
a well known grower and retailer, was so
much impressed with the exhibits, that he
presented a prize of 50 named Gladioli
to Newman Bryer, an amateur, who car-
ried off a great many of the prizes. Many
of the flowers were afterward sent to the
shows at St. Thomas and Weston.

The Mimico Horticultural Society dis-
tributed between 18,000 and 20,000 Gla-
dioli bulbs to the members last Spring.
The excellent results obtained from the
bulbs were seen at the annual flower

have been registered.

The Hay Flower and Seed Co., Brock-
ville, of which C. J. Hay, president of
the Canadian Florists and Gardeners As-
sociation is owner, is making extensive
improvements to the range. These in-
clude the construction of a new solid
brick two story office and warehouse at
the corner of King st. east and Bethune
st. The store is connected with the range.
The new building will facilitate handling
and shipping as well as provide an at-
tractive store for local customers.

Southampton held its annual flower
show on Aug. 23.

Gait Flower Show filled the Queen
Square Skating Rink. There were over
1000 entries.

R. James of the Ontario Agricultural
College, was judge of the Guelph flower
show. Wm. Brown of Eloca won the
Carter silver cup, the premier honor of
the exhibition. He had a fine display of
red, white, purple and pink Asters. This
is the first time the cup has been won by
a grower outside of Guelph.

The new Toronto Horticultural Society
held its annual flower show on Aug. 26.

The Western Horticultural Society held
its annual flower show Aug. 23 and 24,
all classes were well filled. President
W. M. McKay, president of the Ontario
Horticultural Society, was presented with
a cut glass vase in recognition of his
work in broadening the love of flowers.

The incorporation of the Canadian Hor-
ticultural Council is announced in the
Canada Gazette. The purpose of the or-
ganization which has no shares or capi-
tal, is to advance all matters tending
toward the improvement of the horticul-
tural and allied industries in Canada, in-
cluding plant organization and registra-
tion, production, grading, packing, trans-
portation, storage and marketing. The
provisional directors are G. E. Mackin-
tosh, L. F. Burrows, Karl Conger, Rupert
Broadfoot, Robert Innes and W. H.
Stewart. L. F. Burrows has been act-
ing as secretary during the organization.
Plant registration was started by the
Canadian Florists and Gardeners Asso-
ciation, under the direction of H. J.
Moore. This work will now be assumed
by the new Horticultural Council. Rec-
ords planned on lines similar to those
used for livestock, will give all origina-
tors of new plants, amateur as well as
professional, final recognition and protec-
tion for their work. Variety names will
be standardized. This alone will be of
genuine value to the public, as today many
varieties are traveling under different
names.

W. E. Groves of the John Connon Co.,
Hamilton, addressed the Rotary Club of
Montreal on Tuesday, Aug. 15. He ad-
vocated increased cultivation as a means
to induce contentment and combat unrest
in the ranks of industry. In so young a
country as Canada, he said, it was essen-
tial that the importance of flowers should
be broadcasted so as to make the way-
side cottages as beautiful as the large
show places and to introduce color and
beauty into the lives of the populace.

Markham Horticultural Society held
its annual flower show on Aug. 26. There,
was a large attendance and keen interest
was shown in all classes.

H. W. Brown of Kitchener and Ghas.
A Davis of Waterloo were judges at the
Waterloo Horticultural Society's exhibi-
tion. Prizes have also been awarded in
the competitions of the Kitchener Horti-
cultural Society.

There were about 500 entries at the
flower show at Barrie on Aug. 22.
Gladioli were the big feature, there being
over 3000 spikes shown. Competition was
keen in all classes. Snapdragon and Zin-
nias made great displays and these were
of high quality. George Baldwin of To-
ronto was judge.

Tree Seeds a Big Industry

Distribution of the seeds of native
coniferous trees from the Federal Seed
Extracting Plant at New Westminster, B.
C, has been quite active recently. The
largest purchaser of this seed is the For-
estry Commission of Great Britain which
has taken over 7000 sacks this year. Ship-
ments of seed have also been made to Aus-
tralia, N'ew Zealand, Tasmania, the dif-
ferent provinces of Canada, as well as to
associations or individuals in the United
States, France, Belgium, Sweden, Norway,
Finland and Peru.

Ontario Gladiolus Exhibition

The annual show and convention of the
Ontario Gladiolus Society was held at St.
Thomas on Aug. 23 and 24. The spacious
studios and corridors as well as a large
marquee on the campus at Ama College,
were filled with beautiful blooms; many
exhibits equalled, if not excelled, those of
the American Gladiolus Society held at
the same place last year. Although it was
expected that the majority of the exhib-
itors would be Canadians, there were
many exhibits from different points in the
United States.

The official opening took place on the
afternoon of Aug. 23, C. R. Hinkle, presi-
dent of the American Gladiolus Society
officiating. Mr. Sturgis, who is from St.
Joseph, Mich., stated that there were on
exhibit some of the most wonderful and
finest flowers he had seen. J. Lockie Wil-
son, Toronto, superintendent of horticul-
tural societies in Ontario, formally de-
clared the exhibition open.

N. F. Wright of Sturgis, Mich., creator
of the lovely Louise had a large exhibit.
Prof. L. Hutt of Georgetown had an ex-
hibit of more than 1000 blooms. Miss
Annie Campbell, representing Campbell
Bros, of Simcoe, showed a collection of
about 3000 blooms.

Other exhibitors were: W. M. McKay
of Weston, president of the Ontario Hor-
ticultural Society; G. Vos, Grand Rapids,
Mich., winner of the president's cup at
Kalamazoo, Mich.; Mimico Horticultural
Society; James Ogilvie, Hamilton, and
many others.

The judges declared the most wonderful
bloom on exhibition this year was Dr. Ben-
nett, raised by Diener of Kentfield, Cal. It
was named in honor of the St. Thomas
president of the American Gladiolus So-
ciety last year. Special bulbs growing
in the trial grounds adjacent to the Alma
College campus were very beautiful, hav-
ing a unique flaming scarlet shade with
traces of heliotrope in the center.

Sweepstake honors at the show went to
H. Attridge of London, who won 14 firsts
and four second prizes in the amateur

The trophy foT the best seedling of the
year went to Campbell Bros of Simcoe, and
the Mimico Horticultural Society won the
prize of the American Gladiolus Society
for the best comprehensive display. Other
winners were Prof. H. L. Hutt, George-
town; Dr. R. W. Schnarr, London; R. V.
Smith, St. Thomas; A. Graham, St.
Thomas, and the St. Thomas Horticultural
Society.

The out of town exhibitors were enter-
tained in the evening at a banquet at the
Grand Central Hotel. C. R. Hinkle was
the chief speaker. Others were W. M.

Later a band concert was given on the
Alma College grounds. The visitors were
taken on a sightseeing trip around the
city Thursday morning by the St. Thomas
Kiwanis Club.

At the annual meeting on Thursday,
Guelph was unanimously selected as the
location for the 1923 exhibition and con-
vention at a date to be fixed by the ex-
ecutive. John F. Marr of Guelph was
elected secretary-treasurer. Rev. Perry
S. Dobson, retiring secretary, was elected
a director, taking the place of the late
James Wallace of Toronto. Tribute was
paid to H. H. Groff, Simcoe, the pioneer
hybridizer of Canada in his election as
honorary president of the society. The
other officers are as follows: president, Dr.
F. Bennett, St. Thomas; vice-presidents,
Wm. Brown, Elora; C. Ward, St. Thomas;
W. B. Varley, Ottawa; Prof. J. W.
Crow, Guelph, and James E. Brown, Kings-
ville.

The institution of a vigorous member-
ship campaign and an educational drive
for the elimination of the scrub varieties
was discussed and referred to the execu-
tive committee for definite action. The
show was brought to a close Thursday
evening with an auction sale of the prize
winning blooms, members of the Kiwanis
Club, having charge of the program. J.
B. Reynolds, president of the Ontario
Agricultural College, Guelph, delivered
an address. G. C. K.

Norristown, Pa.

A visit to the William Yeager Co., 78
E. Main ,st., revealed an uptodate store
with a competent staff, doing a good busi-
ness in spite of the season. All the
blooms are grown in the firm's own houses
and among other things some very good
Gladioli were noticed. Funeral work pre-
dominates, of course, at present, but sev-
eral promising weddings are booked for
next month.

The Palmer Square Flower Shop, which
will open shortly at 2160 N. California

The picture of the "broken wheel"
shown oh this page is not given as an ex-
ample of how to do it, but because it
shows what can be done when you have
not a ready made design on hand.

This piece was wanted in a hurry, and
as the florist had not anticipated a de-
mand for any such piece necessity became
the mother of invention. This broken
wheel, therefore, is nothing more or less
than a 30in. wreath with a piece cut out.
Five Bamboo stakes are used for spokes,
and a clump of moss in the center forms
the hub. With the help of a wreath stand
and gold paint the whole was made into
a presentable design. The flowers used
were Dorothy Perkins Roses for the wheel,
and Anthemis for the hub.

It is a piece that could hardly be
called beautiful, but it is imposing and
satisfied the customer for whom it was
made.

Broken Wheel on Easel

Dorothy Perkins Roses used for Wheel and An-
themis for Hub

Of the critical florist we ask: "What
would you have done to have improved
this piece under the same situation?
Would the spokes look better without
green? Is the hub too large?" This pic-
ture is submitted solely to bring out help-
ful comment in designing, and The Ex-
chage would appreciate your suggestions.
By the way, what would be a fair charge
for a design of this size made of Summer
flowers ?

The Market

Conditions on the market the past
few days have improved wonderfully,
cleaning up incoming shipments at the
wholesale houses readily at prices con-
sistent with Summer conditions. Last week
was a beastly hot and disgusting one for
all the florists, but the week just ending
has been a remarkably cool one with a
little shower which suited the plants to
a nicety.

News Notes

Philip Breitmeyer and M. Bloy re-
turned from Kansas City where they at-
tended the S. A. F. convention. Mr.
Breitmeyer says it was a success, but that
most of the work and the greatest pep
and enthusiasm was done and shown by
the older men and this does not please
him. Mr. Breitmeyer is forever .preach-
ing and pleading with the young fellows
to start and do something among them-
selves, offering his wonderful experiences
as a sort of guiding star, and it is un-
fortunate that the young fellows have not
grasped this opportunity more quickly,
but it is all in the making and it is be-
lieved and sincerely hoped that another
six months will see an organization of

Retail Notes

Aug. 26. — The retail situation is
about the same, just a trifle too slow
for optimists, but a good proportion of
the surplus flowers was used up the past
week on several funerals that went the
record for "Saying it with Flowers."

The writer has about ten thousand
Delphiniums (California hybrids) in
bloom, and the stores have wakened up
to the fact that the various shades take
better with their customers than the
one shade of Belladonna which has been
their main reliance heretofore. I have
always maintained that there are nu-
merous flowers that would appeal to the
buying public if they were handled by
the storemen instead of sticking to the
limited variety usually found on dis-
play. If I do not get anything more
out of these Delphiniums than this veri-
fication of my opinion, I will feel repaid
in knowing that I am "right by gosh."

Walter Hammond has returned from
his trip to Atlantic City.

Mrs. Spera of the B. F. Barr force is
spending her vacation in Harrisburg and
Atlantic City, and Walter Markley of
the same force, is at Delaware Water
Gap.

Miss Carrie Steckmen has perhaps the
largest variety of Summer flowers car-
ried by any store and finds them a profi-
table investment.

D. Irwin Herr has been under the
weather and kept the secretary of the
Ladies' S. A. F. so busy that mail for the
society has been delayed.

A Sermon

We hear a great deal these days
about normalcy. The definition of the
word as given by System is that it means
business for those who fight for it con-
sistently and inteDigently ; sales for those
who understand constructive market de-
velopment. Like Josh Billings, "them's
my sentiments." We florists must study
markets and marketing conditions to
profitably handle our ever increasing pro-
duction.

Let us get out of the rut we have been
following where production has been the
only goal aimed for, on to the national

Lancaster County Florists' Picnic

Thursday, Aug. 24, about 50 of
the florists and 75 of their friends gath-

The first event was bowling on the green,
a supreme test of skill where tbe "Tig-
ers" under the leadership of your scribe
won out in a series of five games over
the "Cubs," who gave us a stiff fight
under the leadership of A. K. Rohrer.

Four tables of cards were gotten up
and Edgar' Herr won the men's prize and
Miss May Brenneman the ladies' prize.

The Market

The past week showed improve-
ment in local market conditions; not so
much in a larger demand, but in a some-
what decreased supply in some items, es-
pecially Roses and Asters, which kept
prices firm on good stock.

The market is still flooded with Gladi-
oli. The prices that prevail are a shame,
but there are so many inferior blooms
on the market that they reduce the value
of the good stock also.

The supply of Roses has tightened up.
By this 1 do not mean that there are not
enough to supply the demand, but there
are not so many left over at the end of
the day. Up until last week good Asters

were scarce with a glut of poor stock, but
at the present writing there has been a
right about face, with some fine stock
arriving and not so many poor ones, which
has helped market conditions to a great
extent.

Carnations are beginning to arrive, and
the quality is extra good for so early in
the season, but they do not stand much
show with Asters and Gladioli so plenti-
ful. Lilies are in short supply and clean
up daily at good prices.

The supply of "Valley is equal to the
demand, and the stock is fine, and Del-
phinium is still popular and sells readily.
Tritomas are to be had in limited quan-
tity, but are only used as a novelty. This
about closes up the list of stock arriving,
with the exception of a few outdoor flow-
ers, which do not cut any figure one way
or the other. Southern plumosa has been
in oversupply and some of it has found its
way to the dump.

Business, from the florists' point of
view, is not at all rosy. The reason is
not hard to find; all that could possibly
do so, are at Summer resorts; it will
take the cool chilly evenings in the Fall
to send them back to the city, when social
events will make them want flowers. It
seems to me, bad business for that New
York grower to send shipments of small
Asters to Montreal; they were not sal-
able. The grower wastes his time pack-
ing them and loses his goods. The express
company gets nothing for transport, the
customs get no duty as they are refused at
this end. This is something like the man
who knew nothing about the retail florists'
business, but had some money and started
up in good style. After some time he got
the experience, but some one else got his
money.

George McGarry, vice-president of the
Robert Burrows Seed Co., died suddenly
at his Summer home last week. It seems
the late Mr. McGarry suffered from heart
trouble. Quite a large gathering of
friends of the deceased attended his
funeral.

This is the time of the year when the
various horticultural societies hold their
exhibitions. The Sun Life Society led
off with a very creditable show of produce
grown by employees of the society. Lachine
had its 23d annual event on Thursday and
Friday. Some very good Asters were on
display; other exhibits were about up
to standard. Verdun of Greater Mon-
treal, had a very fine show, chiefly from
amateurs, as Verdun is mostly peopled
by working men.

News Jottings

There has been very little activity
in the flower market this past week.
There isi an abundance of good stock, far
exceeding the demand, especially Roses
and Gladioli. The florists report business
as quiet with a few weddings of the or-
dinary kind.

Outside stock has much improved with
rains and cooler weather.

W. J. and M. S. Vesey sent several
thousand Roses to the local hospitals this
week.

The Lanternier Florists are busy build-
ing a new smokestack and three new green-

A Natural Beauty Spot

Watkins Glen is at present a most
attractive place to visit. Thousands of
tourists stop oft' at that notable beauty
spot. Since New York State has taken
over the Glen, much improvement has
been made. The main entrance, with its
gorgeous flower beds is making a good im-
pression and going through tunnels, wind-
ing stairways, along the water falls, one
finally reaches the summit of Watkins
Glen, which is 800ft. - above sea level;
from this point one has a beautiful view
over Seneca Lake. Mr. Foster, for years
the superintendent of the Glen, and a
very congenial man, is always ready to
greet a visitor with a glad hand.

Going through the parks one cannot
help admiring the beautiful flower beds,

Chilly nights indicate the approach of
Fall, but as yet business has not responded.
The general quietness is only accentuated
by occasional days of activity.

Late Asters are at their best, displac-
ing Gladioli, which have so long held first
place. Perennials are still with us in
quantity, but are in little demand.

CHICAGO • GREENHOUSE • CONSTRUCTION • COMPANIES

The success of the Great Chicago Wholesale Cut Flower Market and the large increase in capital invested is due to the superior class of greenhouses which have been
built. This has been accomplished by the fact Chicago boasts of a large number of greenhouse construction companies with facilities for the work equal to that in any other
city. The following comprises the leading Chicago Greenhouse Architects, Heating Engineers, Ventilation Experts, Lumber Dealers, and Greenhouse Builders' Supplies.

Kansas City, Mo.

Trade Notes

Trade of local florists has been ex-
ceptionally good since the convention. The
retailers, growers and everybody con-
nected with their establishments, were, of
course, well tired out after the strenu-
ous week, but they entered the following
period refreshed by rest and rather ex-
pecting a quiet time. Business came with
a rush on Monday, however, due to funeral
work, and miscellaneous activities. None
of the trade could be traced definitely to
the fact of the convention having been
held here, but there is no question that
its benefits will be felt in Kansas City
strongly.

"The real benefit," said one member of
the Kansas City Florists Club, "will not
be in the increased interest of the Kansas
City public as aroused by the convention,
but in the increased quality of our service,
and our great aggressiveness in taking ad-
vantage of opportunities. The public is wid-
er awake to flowers because of the con-
vention, but this will not incite the pub-
lic to the buying of flowers unless we
push flowers at this psychological mo-
ment."

Florists Club Doings

The Kansas City Florists Club is
right on the job with this matter of pro-
moting attention to flowers, and many
other features of business building. The
club is, of course, in its most flourishing
condition, because of the good spirit de-
veloped by working together for the in-
dustry as a whole, and the spirit has al-
ready been further evidenced in the club
since the convention. The meeting was
held Aug. 25, in the Rock building, wher.
reports were made of convention work,
and of incidents showing the very wide-
spread interest in the convention. The
statement was made that more than 100,-
000 people in the United States now have
a lively interest in Kansas City, who had
not thought much of the city before, and
that the convention has been of untold
value to the city. The Florist Cub has
a substantial publicity fund which has
reached its large proportions, because of
the realization that special attention
•should be given to publicity to reap the
maximum benefits of the convention. More
careful attention will be given to publicity
items this next year, one feature for in-
stance being the placing of the "Say it
with Flowers" boards, for which the best
possible locations will be sought, and best
possible decorations provided to attain
greatest effectiveness for them.

Nominations for officers of the Kansas
City Florists Club were made at thc-
meeting, to be voted on at tiv; annual
meeting in September. Miller Carter,
secretary and store manager of the Wil-
liam L. Rock Flower Co.; William J.
Barnes, chairman of the advisory commit-
tee of the convention's local committee,
and Glenn K. Parker, secretary of the
club, were nominated for president.

An aftermath of the convention has
been the transmission of letters of thanks
and appreciation, to the many persons,
firms and organizations that assisted the
local committee. The extent of this help
is indicated in the fact that nearlr 200
such letters were sent out. This number
of letters also hints at the immense
amount of work done by the local com-
mittees, in securing the help and in mak-
ing the necessary contacts with the per-
sons and organizations. The best tribute
to the efficiency of the general commit-
tee's work, is this evidence of extraordi-
narily extensive ramification of its pre-
parations and a tribute scarce] v secon-
dary, is the statement that there' are ab-
solutely no tag end bills coming in. Every-
thing was definitely provided for in ad-
vance, either by explicit agreement, or by
estimate.

The club was so appreciative of the
the results attained by its general con-
vention committee, that not jnly was ex-
pression made of satisfaction in its work,
but announcement was given that the
committee would continue to meet on the
first Friday of each month. Members of
the club were invited to meet on this day,
which becomes in fact, an additional
monthly session of the florists of Kansas
City. The regular meetings of the club
are held in the evenings, so thar, a maxi-
mum number of employers and employees
may attend; the noonday luncheon ses-
sions, which will be held at the Mid-Day
Club, are especially for those florists who

can most conveniently gather at this
hour.

Ed. A. Humfeld, chairman of the en-
tertainment committee for the S. A. F.
and O. H. convention, was, so far as
known, the only accident victim during
the convention. But he is up and about,
and, indeed, was not restrained from con-
tinuing work by, his accident. During
gathering of cars for the ride Thursday,
a motor car "stepped" on Mr. Humfeld's
left foot, the hub of the car bruising the
leg. The motor car kept standing there
for an appreciable time, its bumper being
caught in another car. Being released,
Mr. Humfeld hastened to a hospital,
where the doctor insisted on his going to
bed. but Mr. Humfeld insisted on going
to Electric Park, where he had charge of
the entertainment. He successfully man-
aged this feature. He is recovering, though
the injury looked serious for a while.

Miss Edith Roberts, now with Paul C.
Hahn, Hollywood, Calif., returned to
Kansas City in June to visit friends, and
remained here for the S. A. F. and 0. H.
convention. Miss Roberts formerly was
with the Kellogg retail store here, and
with other florists. She had charge of the
Ed. A. Humfeld store this July, while
Mr. and Mrs. Humfeld and daughter were
taking their vacation.

Seattle, Wash.

Trade Notes

Aug. 21. — The supply of outdoor
flowers is now at its height; everywhere
you go, stores are full of them. Sweet
Peas of excellent quality are still plenti-
ful. Asters, Stocks, African Marigolds,
Snaps, Gladioli and Dahlias are all avail-
able. Despite the heavy supply, prices
keep fairly steady and thanks to out of
city demand, there has been no slump.
Roses of good quality are in steady sup-
ply, but Carnations are really scarce with
prices ruling high. Most of the stores are
displaying good assortments of pot grown
Asters, but demand is limited.

A Great Florists Picnic

The first annual picnic of the Seat-
tle Florists and Nurserymen's Associa-
tion was held on Aug. 20 at the Farmers
Picnic Grounds, Enumclaw, Wash., the
most beautiful picnic grounds in western
Washington. Preparations for the big
event have been going on for the past
month; P. F. Rosaia being chairman of
the various committees working in connec-
tion with it. Ultimate success depending
on the assistance of the weather man,
hopes were dashed to zero when Aug. 19
registered as one of the wettest days of
the Summer, but as several large pavilions
were available on the grounds, go through
with it was the order; Sunday morning
broke fine, but dull and cloudy; not at
all inviting for a 40 mile drive to a
picnic. However, I would not have missed
that drive for all the prizes donated to
the picnic (and, believe me, there were
some prizes, Rosaia Bros, largest delivery
van could not accommodate them.) A
beautifully paved road all the way,
through some of the finest scenery in our
Northwest. By 1 o'clock considerably
over 100 autos had arrived at their desti-
nation, and supplying the wants of the
inner man was the first item on a long
and enjoyable program of events.

Right here I am going to digress to
call attention to the spirit, of comrade-
ship displayed by members of the fra-
ternity from neighboring cities. Port-
land, Ore., florists, distant a seven hours
train ride from Seattle, again proved
themselves the very best of sports and
good fellows by accepting our invitation
to attend, dispatching a party of 25 made
up of members and their wives, who left
Portland by auto on Friday afternoon,
arrived at Tacoma that night, spending
Saturday there and coming on to the pic-
nic Grounds Sunday morning. Tacoma
sent up a party of 35, including wives and
families, and Everett and Puyallup, Wash.,
both were well represented. This is the
sort of spirit which does things and gets
somewhere, and we want those gentlemen
and ladies to believe that we of Seattle
fully appreciate their good fellowship. The
Portland "Chief of Staff" was their in-
curable, unsuppressible funny man,
"Scotty;" what a convivial meeting with-
out him would be like, no Portland florist
dares imagine.

After lunch Tom Wylie, Marshal of
Ceremonies, took charge of us all, and as
his word was law, he soon had everyone
busy, either talking, or hopping around

lively. He was ably assisted by Gene
Sandahl as Official Starter, and George
Antheme and Gus (well, never mind his
other name, its unpronounceable anyway)
were the judges. Might say here Judge
George was somewhat inclined to dispute
the Marshal's authority, but then George
is somewhat of a privileged character
from the fact that he is the oldest estab-
lished grower in our city. Your scribe
acted as press representative, no sinecure
position, either, I'll tell the crowd. There
were 18 events on the sports program
which worked as follows: 50yd. race, boys,
under 15 — 1, Carrol Ellis; 2, Andrew
Matheisen.

50yd. race, boys over 15 to 50 — 1, Otto
Miller, Portland; 2, Jim Wylie, Seattle.

Nail driving contest for ladies — 1, Mrs.
E. G. Pohlman, Tacoma. Thirty-six en-
tries, the winner was a finished hammer
handler.

50yd. race, girls under 15 — 1, Louise
Klepper, Tacoma; 2, Evelyn Rosaia,
Seattle.

Throwing the baseball, ladies — 1, Ruth
Pohlman, Tacoma; 2, Mrs. Sam Dunlap,
Seattle. Thirty-seven entries but Miss
Pohlman led from the throw1 off. Our
Mrs. Sam Dunlap was an excellent sec-
ond.

50yd. race, ladies over 15 to 50 — 1, Ruth
Pohlman, Tacoma; 2, Laura Rosaia, Seat-
tle. A fine race, but the winner showed
great form.

50yd. egg and spoon race, ladies — 1,
Mrs. Bauers. Disaster overtook the ma-
jority of contestants from the start, but
the winner came through in style.

Three legged race, boys over 15 — 1,
Hammond and McBratney, Seattle; 2,
Schneider and Miller, Tacoma. Our local
wholesalers held up the honor of the
Flower City in great shape. Good for
the Boss and the Brat.

Three legged race for girls over 15 — 1,
Ruth Pohlman and partner; 2, Cecile
Seifert and partner.

Needle and thread race, ladies — 1, Mrs.
Boyle.

Hobble race, ladies — 1, Katherine Chad-
wick, Seattle.

Pot Game — This was one of Felix Ro-
saia's funny stunts and created roars of
laughter; each contestant after being
blindfolded, was circled around two or
three times by Felix; then presented with
a big stick and told to break a pot sus-
pended above their head. Resulting strikes
were mighty powerful, but usually met
the wind yards away.

Fat man's race, 50 yds. — 1, Jim Wylie,
220 lbs.; 2, Bryan Hammond, 175 lbs. This
was considered a sure thing for a Port-
land dark horse, but friend Jim upset
all dope by winning easily. Bryan Ham-
mond added special weight for the occa-
sion; usually he weighs about 125, boro-
rowed 50 from somewhere and copped $5
cash by so doing, much to the discomfort
'of visiting contestants.

Free for all race, 75 yds. — 1, Seley
Pomeroy, Portland; 2, Otto Miller, Port-
land. Here's where the visitors got even,
although Seattle was able to get one back
,on Scotty, who, when he works, is in the
potl game, by awarding the winner a
crate of Hankey's Seattle flower pots.

Tug of war — Seattle Retailers vs. Vis-
iting Retailers. Tacoma furnished the
visiting team. Both teams put up some
pull, but Tacoma managed to gain some
four inches on the rope, which advantage
they held until the time limit of two
minutes had expired. They were award-
ed the Woodlawn Challenge Cup, donated
by the Woodlawn Flower Shop.

Tug of war — Seattle Growers vs. Vis-
iting Growers — Portland, although unpre-
pared, put up the visiting team, and gave
our growers quite a pull at .that, but
eventually succumbed. The handsome sil-
ver challenge cup presented by Hollywood
'Gardens, remaining in the custody of
■Seattle.

After the sports a baseball game of five
innings was played, Seattle vs. Tacoma;
umpire, Geo. Antheme. An exciting game,
dining which Bryan Hammond ran
through his trousers, in endeavoring to
steal home, after successfully stealing
third, was eventually won by the visit-
ors. George performed the arduous duties
■ of ump. most satisfactorily in the opin-
ion of the visitors, although rumors are
current that he is to be impeached before
Judge Landis for selling the game. As
Tacoma has already "skedaddled" with
the Rosaia Brothers cup, put iip for the
event, more conservative home team boost-
ers feel inclined to let the matter drop
and give George the benefit of the doubt.
Dancing in the fine new pavilion to the

music of a six piece orchestra was in-
duced m from 3 to 6 p.m. and from
7 to 11 p. m.

Everybody voted the affair a huge suc-
cess. °

Among visitors present were: Fred
Young J,m Forbes, A. Martin (Martin &
Forbes) Steele of Pansy fame, J. B
Pilkington, Scotty, the Pot Man, F
Clarke (Clarke Bros.), Wendell Lachner, J
Ihorapson and rveil Campbell (Thompson's
Hort Works); to mention a few from
Portland: A Smith, Sr., and Smith, J™
Hinz, the Florist, John Karlick, Frank
fechevenka George Lawlor and the staff
oi the California Florists were among
the Tacoma delegation, and Sylvia Rosaia
and family from Los Angeles, Calif al-
together quite a representative gathering.

The Market

Business in the local market con-
tinues very dull and the stock is mostly
ordinary An occasional spurt of funeral
work and the week end buyers liven things
up a little. 6

The supply of Roses has dropped off a

K?i L and the P"ce has stiffened a
little. There are still too many outdoor
flowers notably poor Asters. Good As-
ters sell readily at a fair price. Gladioli
continue in heavy supply and there will
probably be plenty till frost. Dahlias are
appearing,! some especially fine Sylvia
and Baron Sehrceder being noted Cal-
endulas are apparently a year round
flower; they continue in good form, the
cooler nights strengthening them. Valley
is m very light demand.

Good Buddleia is a welcome addition
the graceful spikes appearing to good ad-
vantage wherever used.

Plants are still scarce; greens continue
good and are plentiful.

gratulated for their efforts in making this
the best picnic yet held.

Cleveland Florists Club

All members of the Florists Club
are requested to be on hand for the next

Evansville, Ind.

"Oh! A single Daisy twined in one's
hair with content, is worth all the opals
of India." — Scott.

The florists' business of Evansville at
this date reminds one of the Arkansas
doctor who made this entry in his journal
after his daily visits: "Found my patients
getting no better fast." All stock in fine
shape and awaiting the renewal of so-
ciety's demands. Cut flowers available at
this time are Roses, Carnations and As-
ters. Not much is doing in funeral work.

More Park Space

An addition to the parks of Evans-
ville is the newly acquired property
known as the Helfricht tract. A land-
scape architect of Chicago has been em-
ployed to prepare plans which are to be
executed under the direction of the su-
perintendent of parks, Robert H. Hum-
phrey. This part of the park system will
be used for golf links, tennis courts and
like amusements. * Development will start
next Spring. W. H.

This association, which held its 20tb an-
nual convention in mid-July at Portland,
Ore., reports considerable progress. Mem-
bers are now located in California, Ore-
gon, Washington, Idaho, Utah, New Hamp-
shire and British Columbia.

During the past year careful surveys
enabled the association to supply all data
as to the fruit tree situation. Througn
thia information the nurserymen were
able to avoid overproduction of Apples
etc., by reducing their budding list.

The 1923 convention will be held at
Boise, Idaho. The officers are: Presi-

Awarded $1515 in Suit Against
Tree Company

Cokning, N. Y. — Albert H. Sewell as
official referee, has found for Patrick
O'Hara of Dansville, the plaintiff, for
$1515 in the suit maintained against the
Home Nursery Co. of Dansville to recover
damages for the failure of the defendant
company to take some trees grown by the
plaintiff and held to have been contracted
for by the Nursery Company.

To Decide Scope of Association

A special meeting of the Eastern Nur-
serymen's Association will be held at
Trenton, N. J., Sept. 21. This is not a
regular meeting for the election of offi-
cers, but is, if possible, more important
than that. The long mooted question of
how far a district association may go
without interfering with or overlapping
upon the activities of already existing
State and national associations will there
be taken up and, it is hoped, settled.

A to Z Trees

Alphabet Avenue Novelty

One of the most remarkable avenues in
the world, and the first "alphabetical
avenue" in England, has been planted re-
cently by Sir William Geary in his park
at Oxon Heath, Hadlow, near Tonbridge,
Kent. It is nearly half a mile long, and
the trees — at present only saplings — are
planted in alphabetical order.

This is how the alphabet of trees is
made up: Aspen, Beech, Catalpa, Chest-
nut, Dimorphanthus, Elm, Fraxinus, Gum,
Hornbeam, Idesia, Juglans, Koelreutia,
Larch, Maple, Negundo, Oak, Plane, Pop-
lar, Quince, Rowan, Sycamore, Tulip Tree,
Umbrella Pine, Viburnum, Willow, Xan-
thoceras, Yellow Tree, Zelcova. There
are several other trees as well.

Some of the trees that find a place in
the alphabet avenue are foreign to this
country and a test is being made to see
how they stand the English soil and cli-
mate.

The American Rose Society

The following Rose has been offered for
registration and passed upon by the Regis-
tration Committee:

Name — Humboldt (instead of Eureka,
as per notice of July 22, 1922). Class —
hybrid tea. Parentage — Unnamed seed-
ling X Ophelia.

Description : Erect habit, throwing long,
straight stems; foliage somewhat similar
to Ophelia; very free grower and hardy;
color bright rose-pink' long, pointed bud,
outside petals recurved; slightly fragrant;
medium full petalage. Remarkably free
bloomer.

The Rose is similar to Chatenay except
that it is darker in color and superior in
that it is a very much stronger grower.
Signed by David S. Ward.
For Cottage Gardens Co.

If no objection to such registration is

filed with the Secretary of the Society

within three weeks after this publication,

the registration will become permanent.

Samuel Newman Baxter, known to all
readers of our Nursery Department, has
been conducting in the Philadelphia Even-
inn Bulletin a series of articles bearing
this title: "Do You Know This Tree?"
In each case, after describing the tree
and its special attributes, Mr. Baxter tells
his readers where they can see it and iden-
tify it for themselves, which is a most
advisable conclusion to the story.

Nurserymen are today obtaining con-
siderable free mention of their products
and it occurs to us that there is an open-
ing for hundreds of nurserymen to sup-
ply their local papers with similar infor-
mation to that which Mr. Baxter is giv-
ing the Bulletin. It is informative ma-
terial of high value and if the tree or
shrub is written up just when it is com-
ing into bloom (providing it is one of
that character), this will undoubtedly
create a still further interest in its recog-
nition and the ultimate result will be an
increased knowledge among the people
and the added desire to possess one or
more of these beautiful trees or shrubs.

It is gratifying to find that "people who live in glass
houses" — in this case members of the trade, do not
always suffer the most damage at the hands of the
elements. There was recently reported from Geneva,
N. Y., a severe storm and a subsequent flood that did
considerable damage throughout that section. We
are pleased to learn from the Geneva Nursery, how-
ever, that "the storm of Wednesday night did no
damage to nurseries here in Geneva. Most of the
damage was done in the low lying sections of the
downtown districts."

Another Twist of the Quarantine Thumbscrew

In a statement, dated Aug. 21, published elsewhere
in this issue, the Federal Horticultural Board an-
nounces further limitations on the importation of
Rose stocks. According to this ruling no stems on
which to bud standard Roses will be admitted, while
Kose stocks in general for propagation purposes may
be imported only in the "smallest sizes possible," the
limits being one to two years of age and ISin. in
length.

The reason given for this further elevation of the
prohibition bars is merely "because of the probability
of introducing dangerous insect pests and plant dis-
eases." What pests and diseases, in what particular
locality, and why the danger is any more acute today
than it has been these many years past, the Board
does not state, if, indeed, it knows.

Of course its explanation, if asked, would be that
the action is merely precautionary and designed to
reduce the number of imported plants upon which
some pest might exist. It might also refer to. the
statements made by E. G. Hill and others as to the
approaching sufficiency of Bose stocks available in
this country and the ability of our growers to main-
tain this sufficiency, as full warrant for shutting off
further supplies.

Of course there are some in the trade who have not
yet discovered this unfailing domestic source of sup-
ply and who, therefore, cannot share Mr. Hill's ro-
seate hopes and satisfaction over the present situa-
tion. They go so far as to frankly express apprehen
sion that inconvenience, amounting in many cases to
serious difficulties, may result ; and in their desire
to promote real horticultural welfare they continue
to urge a more moderate application of quarantine
regulations.

But since those who continue to protest are so
unpatriotic (?) or ignorant (?) (we don't know
which adjective the Board would prefer for them)
as to consider Qu. 37 other than as the greatest boon
that has ever come to American horticulture, they
and their opinions are, presumably, persona non
grata.

Whatever merit or justification their arguments
possess must await substantiation or refutation on
the basis of future developments. What these will
be we don't know; but we are certainly interested
and hopeful of finding out.

Secretary Young Says "Thank You"

Secretary John Young is a man of parts and of
many sterling qualities — as all who heard the speeches
that nominated him at Kansas City can testify. Now
we can also testify that he is fully sensible and ap-
preciative of the reception accorded him at the con-
vention and of the deepseated confidence, regard and
affection that lies! back of it. For he has just
told us so over the 'phone during the first conversa-
tion we have had with him since his return.

"I wish you would 'tell the world,' " he remarked,
"how touched and gratified and encouraged I was by
the • unexpected applause that followed Mr. Asmus'
presentation of my name. It is a mighty heartening
feeling to know that in attempting to serve the in-
terests of such an organization as the S. A. F. and
O. H. I have the support and approval and good
will of so large a majority of the members. Simply
because I don't have as many opportunities as I
would like to show my appreciation, I want once
more, at this time, to express it."

And so we have told you, just as he asked us to.

Commendation from the Kansas City Florists
Club

Editor The Florists Exchange:

Dear Sir: The Kansas City Florists Club and its
general chairman of the 38th National Society of
American Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists
Convention, Wm. L. Bock, wish to take this oppor-
tunity to extend to you our thanks and appreciation
for your wonderful work in cooperating with us and
helping us to make the convention a success, and one
of the largest in the history of our society.

The publicity which you so liberally gave us
through your paper and advertising medium was
greatly appreciated.

You helped to instil into the hearts and minds of
the floral craft impressions and thoughts of Kan-
sas City, "The Heart of America," that shall never
be forgotten.

Again we most heartily thank you for your co-
operation and efficient work.

Yours most truly,
Kansas City Floeists Club,

Glenn K. Pabkee, Secretary.

Rose Stock Importations Checked

(Announcement from Press Service, Office of the
Secretary of Agriculture)

Washington, D. C. — Additional restrictions have
been placed on the importation of certain Rose stocks
by the Federal Horticultural Board of the United
States Department of Agriculture because of the
probability of introducing dangerous insect pests and
plant diseases. Rose stocks for propagation, includ-
ing Manetti, multiflora, Brier Rose, and Rosa rugosa,
may now be imported only in the smallest sizes pos-
sible, the regulations limiting them to plants one to
two years old and not more than 18in. in length.

Stems on which to bud standard Roses are not per-
mitted entry under any conditions.

These restrictions are a revision of Item 3 of Regu-
lation 3 of the Rules and Begulations Supplemental
to Quarantine 37.

The order relating to the importation of Manetti
stocks is scarcely likely to cause any excitement
among foreign growers or importers, and we fail to
see why such an order is necessary at this time. .

Growers in England and France certainly would
not encumber their ground with Manetti stocks more
than two years old ; indeed, it is questionable whether
Manetti which, unlike the Brier, is raised from cut-
tings, is ever used for grafting when above IS months
old. As to limiting the height, a shipper can readily
accommodate the importer. The Bose propagator cuts
back fairly hard when potting up; a few inches more
or less at shipping time will make no difference.

The order, therefore, is probably aimed at stocks
for standards only, but as nothing but rugosa or
canina are used for such a purpose, and as the tree
Bose is not especially favored in this country, it
would not appear that even this clause in the order
will cause much inconvenience.

Arsenic Retained on Free List

Washington, D. C— White arsenic, largely used
in the manufacture of certain insecticides, will re-
main on the free list of the new tariff bill under a
decision reached Aug. 29 by the conference committee
This commodity was dutiable at 25 per cent ad valo-
rem, American valuation, in the bill as passed by the
House, but the Senate adopted an amendment placing
it in the free list.

Our Editorial Want Column
WANTED

Fiest hand ineoematiox based on actual experi-
ence as to the practicability of heating greenhouses
with oil fuel. Data should include such matters as
size of range heated; type of burner and kind of oil
used ; amount of fuel consumed and approximate cost
per day, month or year ; cost of installation and gen-
eral merits as compared with coal operation.

Detailed suggestions as to how Rhododendron
ponticum, Azalea pontica and Acer palmatum plants,
which the F. H. B. has decided to admit under spe-
cial permit for another nine months if without sand,
soil or earth on the roots, can be packed so as to
stand transportation and inspection and reach the
ultimate grower in vigorous health. Also opinions as
to the possibility of thus removing all soil from the
roots of such plants without injuring them.

Peactical ideas on how the majority of our local
and some of our national committees can be gotten
to really work and not leave 99.9 per cent of the job
to the chairman.

Ceiticisms regarding The Exchange from week to
week, and suggestions as to what it can add to or
take from its average contents to increase its value
and interest to the trade. (This is a standing
"want." )

0 Tempora ! 0 Mores !

Isn't it queer how the passing of time changes one's
point of view? A year ago the idea of special adver-
tising pages of convention greetings as exemplified
by eight such pages in The Exchange was made the
object of a caustic editorial slur in a contemporary.
This year said contemporary was not only silent when
fifteen such pages appeared in the pre-convention
issue of The Exchange (Aug. 5) but dug in so hard
that by Aug. 17 (just as the convention was closing)
it was able to bring out two "Greeting" pages from
one city.

Oh, you flatterer!

The Epistle of St. Gustavus to the Bostonians

When it comes to high-class, efficient, faithful cor-
respondents, The Exchange is frank to say that it
considers itself favored far above the average. So
far, and so uniformly, indeed, that it is usually inl
possible to single out any one representative for spe-
cial mention. But this week we are constrained to
make an exception and call the particular attention
of our readers to Brother Thommen's Boston market
report. You may claim, and with reason, that it
doesn't give many details of the situation ; but it is
mighty clever writing, mighty good reading, good
fun and a welcome treasure extracted from a dull
and uneventful set of trade conditions.

A Lament

Innumerable bulletins dealing with the opportuni-
ties open for foreign trade pass through the editor's
hands every month. These show opportunities for
business extension on the part of American manufac-
turers almost without limit. Yet, alas, it is indeed a
rarity to see any subject or object mentioned wherein
the florist, seedsman or nurseryman has a chance.
The only redeeming feature in this export business
we are aware of is that we do know that certain of
our seedsmen do quite an export business in supply-
ing foreign countries with seeds which they lack, this
principally to South America and Australia. Then
we know further that certain travelers representing
European seed houses in their journeyings through
this country, not only sell seeds from European
sources, hut as well purchase seeds from Americau
seedsmen or seed growers for resale in Europe. The
restrictions of the F. H. B. are making it all the more
difficult for our people to obtain foreign trade.

Editorial thanks are due to many of our good friends
in Kansas City for courtesies shown during a busy
five days spent in that delightful city. On the las't
day, when we were at leisure, M. E. Chandler, presi-
dent of the Chandler Landscape and Floral Co., gave
us a most delightful drive through fifty odd miles of
boulevards in and around Kansas City, enabling us
at the same time to inspect for ourselves his very
wonderful and complete store, offices and greenhouses
at 47th St. and Ward Parkway, a full description of
which appeared on page 11 of our issue of July 1 last.
We take this occasion to thank both Mr. and Mrs.
Chandler for their kindness to us.

Secretary in Name and in Deed

There are occasions and conditions and circum-
stances when one may be allowed to go a little way
out of the ordinary in paying tribute to a good man,
paying it while lie is alive, in good health and ac-
tively in the harness.

The success of any society organized on lines simi-
lar to that of the S. A. F. and O. H. must depend,
in a great measure, on the efficiency and faithful-
ness of its secretary, otherwise the works will not
function smoothly.

Ever since its establishment, the affairs of the
S. A. P. and O. H. (with the exception of the mid-
Lent Executive Board meeting, and the annual con-
vention), have been left almost entirely in the hands
of its secretary with assistance and advice from the
president then in office.

Under one of the amendments (No. 4) just adopted
at Kansas City, the S. A. F. and O. H. will be more
in evidence throughout the year for the reason that
on Jan. 1 next Irwin Bertermann will have the ap-
pointment of an executive committee, consisting of
himself, as president, Wallace R. Pierson of Crom-
well, Conn., vice-president (at that time) ; S. S. Pen-
nock (retiring president), and two directors, selected
from the society's elected six. This committee, in the
intervals 'between the meetings of the society's entire
board of directors, will have charge of the business
of the society, subject to any general and specific
directions of the society and its board. Thus, finally,
is adopted an amendment to the constitution, giving
life to the society throughout the entire year, a meas-
ure which had been repeatedly advocated by The
Exchange.

Also, under amendment No. 9 (another successful
measure which should have been adopted at the
society's very inception) the secretary of the society,
after 1923. is to be selected by the society's entire
Board of Directors at its mid-Lent meeting.

However, we are getting somewhat away from our
subject. Amendments 8 and 9, dealing with this
future appointment of a secretary by the executive
board, met with considerable unfavorable comment
because of the unique position occupied by the so-
ciety's present secretary, many of his friends feeling
that it was a measure aimed against his future con-
nection with the society. But, when it was ascer-
tained that the present secretary's own best friends
advocated the adoption of the two amendments, they
went through ; amendment No. 8, 223 for — 12 against ;
amendment No. 9, 182 for — 52 against.

In the course of the nomination of officers for 1923,
the popularity of the preseut incumbent of the office
of secretary was most fully evidenced, for no other
candidate for office met with so popular an ovation
as did the gentleman under mention when George
Asmus, on his "regular job." and with a fine burst
of eloquence, nominated John Young of New York
for re-election to the secretaryship, in which he was
ably and enthusiastically seconded by Phil Breitmeyer
of Detroit, Max Scaling of New York, Richard Vin-
cent, Jr., of White Marsh, Md., and Wallace R. Pier-
son of Cromwell, Conn.

Those who know the inside story of the work done
for the society by the present secretary of the S. A.
F. and O. H. are best qualified to acknowledge him
as the one person competent for the position; as one
who upholds the rules and regulations of the society
with an uncompromising, yet kindly hand. No man
in a busy office escapes censure and perhaps John
Young most frequently "gets his" during the trade
exhibitions, but invariably these irritated feelings
soon subside, the protester realizing that he was in
the wrong and that John Young was simply doing
his duty.

It has been the good fortune of the S. A. F. and 0.
H. for several years past to have secured a continu-
ous succession of uniformly efficient presidents who
have worked and planned unceasingly for the in-
creased value of the society ' to its members. Each
of these gentlemen will bear witness to the enthusi-
asm with which Mr. Young has worked with them in
all their endeavors. Perhaps the best testimony to
the success of their work, with the cooperation of
their secretary, is provided by the following member-
ship figures: 1897, 700; 1911, 1000; 1916, 1800; today,
4000 (approximately). Mr. Young was elected secre-
tary at Baltimore in 1911, and assumed office Janu-
ary, 1912.

Through the courtesy of W. L. Rock of Kansas City,
Mo., was received a copy of the Kansas City Journal
Post of Sunday, Aug. 20, one page of the illustrated
supplement of which was devoted exclusively to the
S. A. F. and O. H. convention aftermath. A variety
of illustrations were shown — make up pieces, church
decoration. Ramblers covering a house front and many
miscellaneous garden views.

Recognizing the Coal Crisis

One of the most timely and commendable actions
of the recent convention was its unanimous adoption
of the report of the special committee appointed to
ci insider the coal situation and draft a resolution to
be sent to the U. S. Fuel Administration. This com-
mittee was composed of Wallace R. Pierson, James
Heacock and Joseph Kohout. and its resolution — con-
cise, emphatic and to the point — read as follows :

"To the United States Fuel Administration:

"We, the Society of American Florists and Orna-
mental Horticulturists, in convention assembled at
Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 17, 1922, do hereby respect-
fully call your attention to the serious menace to the
life of our industry brought about by the withholding
of fuel due to the reported rulings with reference to
the supplying of fuel to florists.

"We wish to call attention to the fact that our in-
dustry is not comparable to any other industry in view
of the perishable nature of our greenhouse contents.
We wish your body to realize not merely that the lack
of fuel will hamper our industry, but that freezing"
conditions would mean a total loss of crops in growth
and also of plants that have been many years in grow-
ing. It would cause the loss of varieties that could
not be replaced and such losses would not only affect
lour present business, but would entail losses of plant
material which could never be replaced. We do not
believe that any other industry would be totally ruined
by lack of fuel for even a few hours, but such is the
case with the florists of our northern localities.

"We believe that the present classification of our
industry is not warranted by existing conditions, and
call to your attention the fact that as loyal Americans
we willingly accepted the reduced coal ration. We be-
lieve that today the preservation of American business
is of vital importance and that those industries that
would suffer most should receive first consideration.
T<he figures covering the magnitude of our industry
as compiled by the last census are readily available
to your body and this immense glass area and invest-
ment produces not only horticultural products, but
vegetables and other food essentials.

"In view of the fact that this emergency exists in
our industry we respectfully request that your body
recognize that the life and continuation of our indus-
try is dependent upon prompt action by your body, and
we trust that such relief be made in the way of classi-
fication that our industry shall be allowed to receive
the coal supply upon which we are so dependent. And
we also request that our society may have the ruling
of yiour body at an early date, and that such ruling
will be definite, clear and establish beyond doubt the
right of our industry to remain a valuable asset of
American business."

This Resolution was to be presented to the Fuel
Administration,- in person; by Wm. F. Gude, Wash-
ington representative of the S. A. F. and O. H.

The figures emphasizing the magnitude of the flo-
rist industry, to which the preliminary resolution re-
ferred, but which, we understand, were incorporated
in the appeal as it finally went to Washington, have
appeared in The Exchange, but they are so signifi-
cant that we are going to gratify ourselves by print-
ing them (in briefest summary) as follows:

In the United States in 1919, there were reported :

Xumber of greenhouses 17,199

Square feet under glass 162,368,593=31,000 acres

Total receipts from crops grown under glass. $77, 3S0, 230
Receipts from, vegetables and vegetable plants. $15, 487, 878
Receipts from flowers and flowering plants. . $61,892,352

The reaction of the Fuel Administration to this
most justified presentation will be awaited with great
interest by every member of the trade.

Recently some of the New York dailies gave con-
siderable space to the description of a new fuel water
gas which, according to the inventor and his finan-
cial backers, will do the work of coal at one-third the
cost. After imbibing this literature we were con-
gratulating ourselves that here were the means right
at hand whereby the florists would be able to defy
the coal barons this Fall and Winter ; but alas, the
everlasting knocker immediately conies to the front
and tells us that the creation of this water gas would
prove far more expensive than the consumption of
coal, even at a high xirice per ton ; that under certain
conditions it was a dangerous explosive, and finally
he unearths records from books published seventy
years ago at which time the selfsame idea had been
exploited and found impossible of being turned into
commercial use. However, while there is life, there
is hope, so perhaps if the backer's money holds out
and the inventor lives, some valuable results may
ensue. Unfortunately, however, there is no chance
in this direction in time to meet the present emer-
gency.

Rumors and old women's stories are not entitled to
credence and are seldom received except with reserva-
tions, but when a report is circulated with an evident
intention, as in this case, to discredit a trade paper,
and when said story can easily be disproved, it is
going a little too far, and the publishers of The
Florists Exchange would be obliged to any friend
who could send the name of the party who has been
endeavoring to play "devil's advocate" in Philadelphia
through broadcasting absurd lies regarding its circu-
lation.

We hope you will approve and find of interest this
week's retail feature article. We liked it, but it was
too much to hope that there would be entire harmony
ill the office — and sure enough, in came the Ad Man
after lunch, with his perpetual pipe in his mouth and
a page proof in his hand.

"Of course," he began, "it's every man to his spe-
cialty these days, and you know. Boss, that I wouldn't
think of butting in on the editorial end with mere
criticisms. But, honest now, I'm a married man and
have had some experience, believe me, even if I don't
show it, and I think you've made a mistake in the
title of that story. If you want to write about it later
on — say the tin wedding or thereabouts, it might be
appropriate enough to bring in the subject of 'cuffs,'
but I think it's cynical to refer to the 'bridal cuff.'

" And then that picture, too, doesn't seem fair. The
girl is pretty enough, but why shove the groom right
out of the picture till only his fist is visible? I'll
admit that his place at a good many weddings is the
background, but let's be fair anyway ' "

He must have seen the rapidly growing gleam in
our eye, for he dropped the proof on the table, turned
and was out of sight, as they used to say in the fairy
tales, "in the twinkling of an eye."

Mexican Biologist a Visitor

Washington, D. C. — Prof. A. L. Herrera, chief of
the biological service of Mexico, and known the
world over for his writings, was a recent visitor to
the Department of Agriculture. He was sent to this
country by his government to make an extensive
study of parks and gardens here with a view to the
establishment of similar, or better, ones in his own
country. In this connection arrangements are being
made for the interchange of biological specimens.

The biological service of Mexico is a very broad
institution and in addition to strictly biological stud-
ies includes activities relating to botanical gardens,
zoological parks and natural history museums.

John H. Rodman

John H. Rodman, 24 years old, died at his resi-
dence, 43 Conway st'., Brooklyn. N. Y., on Saturday
evening, Aug. 26, after a brief sickness. He was a
partner in the well-known retail florist firm of Rod-
man & Sons at Bushwick ave. at Conway St., Brook-
lyn. The funeral services were held at his residence
on Monday evening at S o'clock, and the interment
was at Evergreen Cemetery. Brooklyn, on Tuesday
morning. The services were largely attended, and
there were many beautiful floral offerings from the
trade and other friends. Mi-. Rodman was a member
of the New York Florists Club. He is survived by
a father and mother, Mr. Louis and Mrs. Kate Rod-
man, and by four 'brothers and one sister. The news
of his sudden passing away comes as a distinct shock
to his many friends and to the members of his fam-
ily, to each of whom the profound sympathy of the
trade is extended.

Joseph Merritt Underwood

Joseph Merritt Underwood, late proprietor of the
Jewell Nursery, Lake City, Minn., who was born
Nov. 10, 1844, 'at Palmyra, N. Y., died Aug. 17, 1922,
at his Lake City home. In 1854 his parents moved to
Illinois and he secured a high school education at
Ann Arbor, Mich. As a boy Mr. Underwood showed
a lively interest in horticulture, and at the age of
11 he bought nursery stock and planted it about his-
home. Throughout his life he encouraged the plant-
ing of fruits, vegetables and flowers in every way
possible.

He served for 3S years in one or another official
capacity in the State Horticultural Society, and was
a good booster for the organization. For 13 years he-
served on the board of managers of the State Agri-
cultural Society and as its president. He served his
town as mayor and was a member of the Park Board
at the time of his death.

In 1868 he came to Lake City to manage a nursery
for Dr. P. A. Jewell. Ten years later, on the death
of Dr. Jewell, he acquired the property and built up
one of the largest nurseries in the Northwest under
the name of The Jewell Nursery. He was also inter-
ested in livestock and at one time owned a fine herd
of Holstein cattle.

He will long be remembered by thousands of farm-
ers and horticulturists, who were personal friends. He
is survived by his wife and one son, Roy D. Under-
wood, who has managed the nursery for several
years. ^e R. C.

Meeting Place 1923, Kansas City, Mo.

THE twenty-third annual meeting of the Park
Superintendents of America, or as it is now
called the American Institute of Park Executives
and American Park Society, was held in the Curtis Ho-
tel, Minneapolis, Aug. 19 to 24. Two days and one even-
ing were given up to the reading of papers and their
discussion ; one day was spent in visiting Minneapo-
lis parks and one day in St. Paul parks. About 200
were present and the sessions were all well attended.
Lively interest was shown in spite of the heat.

Committee work and other business was taken
care of in the executive committee meetings on the
19th. The 25th and 26th were spent on Minnesota's
famous iron range and in Duluth. The first day and
evening were devoted to the consideration of park
questions and one forenoon was given up to play-
ground discussions.

State and National Parks

Major W. A. Welch of Palisades Park, New York,
gave a fine address on State and National Parks. He

said that of the ISO State parks in the United States,
131 are less than 100 acres and only 31 have over
1000 acres. He said we need more parks within the
reach of the children and people who do not drive
cars.

Children fight for everything in the cities because
they must: they do not have room to play or live
decently. They cannot think or act well under those
conditions. Boys and girls taken from these con-
ditions and placed in Palisades Park for a few weeks
have gone back to the city with a much better chance
to grow up to usefulness as young men and women.
The influence of the forest and lake will stay with
them. This park and other State and National Parks
are doing much to make men and women in this coun-
try. By means of their central kitchen, Palisades
Park can supply 6000 persons at a time with meals, at
a cost of 24c. per meal.

Mr. Welch further described the wonderful facili-
ties for recreation in Palisades Park, all within reach
of millions of people and all available at little or no
cost.

Sec'y A. M. Turner of the Connecticut State Parks
Commission in discussing the paper, said our roads
should be parkways instead of just bare roads. There
should be park plantings in the country as well as in
the cities.

The State Health Commissioner of Minnesota made
a plea for better laws governing the sanitation of
tourist camps and commended the work for State
Parks and more beautiful highways.

Percival Gallagher of Olmsted Bros., in discussing
the landscape architect and park executives, said that

the designing of parks was a special art. He said
the first park playground was probably established in
Charlesbank Park, Boston, about 1888.

The Object of Parks

Mr. Welch's paper brought out a good deal of dis-
cussion as to what the purpose of a park was. Some
thought it should be kept for drives, walks^ or orna-
mental uses; others, and these appeared to be in the
majority, thought playgrounds and recreation fea-
tures could be fitted into many parks to advantage.
In fact, some cities would not appropriate money
except playgrounds were included. The time to buy
park land was early in the history of the town or
city. It is too expensive later. Nevertheless, it is
better to pay high prices for the land for playgrounds
than to cut down the park areas. There should be
an acre of park for every 100 people. In the borough
of Manhattan, there are 1700 people to a park acre.
Minneapolis has an acre of park for each 100 people
and few children need go more than half a mile to
a playground or park. One acre out of every nine
of city territory is park property.

More Rose Gardens Urged

Robert Pyie read an interesting paper on municipal
Rose gardens. He advocated a Rose garden in every
city where it is possible to place one. Where such
gardens have been established, they have proven of
great interest ; 23,000 people visited the Hartford Rose
garden July 4.

The Austrian Copper and yellow Roses and Dr.
Van Fleet and Silver Moon were recommended by
John Duncan as good varieties. He uses flour of sul-
phur to keep down mildew.

H. R. Francis presented a paper on "Training
Young Men for Park Executives," which brought out
considerable discussion. It seemed to be the general
sentiment that a college training was a good thing
and that courses along certain lines should be offered
in the colleges for those who are to become park ex-
ecutives.

Paul B. Reis of Rockford, 111., made a good plea

for the preservation of wild game and vegetation. E.
H. Bean of Milwaukee said every city needed a well
kept zoo ; it was interesting to the people. He thought
there were too many gun clubs and other organiza-
tions to destroy wild life.

Wednesday forenoon was given up to a discussion
of playgrounds and recreation. There is a growing
sentiment in this country for more playgrounds and
recreation parks. People demand them and they
must be established either in the parks or on other
land. Land about lakes and rivers should be ac-
quired as well as plenty of available land scattered
over the cities. Children should not be requested to
go far to a playground.

The Parks of Minneapolis

Tuesday was spent in the Minneapolis parks. Over
60 miles of driveway was gone over to show 4020
acres of land and 1211 acres of water which had
cost $4,70-4.933. The city has spent $4,171,355 on this
land and donations of land and improvements have
brought the value up to $9,835,730. The property
is well planted and kept in fine repair.

At the business meeting Wednesday afternoon, reso-
lutions were adopted endorsing the administration of
the National Parks, and asking the State Legislatures
to enact laws to better safeguard the health of tour-
ist camps. The new administration is asked to ap-
point an educational committee to confer with colleges
in getting courses of study, useful to young men go-
ing into park service and recommending that park

boards give consideration to Rose gardens. Further
recommendations related to the elimination of the
common Barberry and the setting aside of a park or
parks to preserve native plants.

Memorials were adopted for Chas. M. Loring, Henry
G. Blake, and John K. M. L. Farquhar, who had
died during the year.

The City Planning Committee recommended a com-
plete park system for every city and a park area of
at least one acre for every 100 people. They also
recommended that lake shores be reserved to public
use.

Membership

Over 150 new members were elected and honor-
ary membership was conferred on Fred Nussbaumer
of St. Paul and Wm. R. Adams of Omaha after 31
years of service ; John McLaren, San Francisco, 40
years, and Edward Miller, New York, 48 years service.

Over half of the deficit in printing the magazine
was made up at this meeting.

Election of Officers

Officers were elected as follows : Theodore Wirth,
Minneapolis, Minn,, president ; C. H. Meeds, Cincin-
nati, vice-president ; Will O. Doolittle, Minot, N. D.,
secretary and treasurer ; Louis M. De Saussure, Mem-
phis, Tenn., and Charles E. Chambers, Toronto, Can.,
directors for three years. Kansas City, Mo., will be
the next meeting place.

Friday was spent at Hiffing and on the Iron Range
and Saturday in Duluth.

Municipal Rose Gardens

By Robert]PyIe, President American Rose Society

An Address Delivered Before the Convention of

American Institute of Park Executives and

American Park Society, Minneapolis, Minn.,

Aug. 19 to 24, 1922.

JUDGING from those of your number whom I know
and from the history of your organization, I es-
teem it an especial privilege for the American
Rose Society to have this opportunity of presenting
to you what it feels is an important message.

Doubtless you have all read Elbert Hubbard's little
book, "A Message to Garcia," relating a story of the
Spanish-American War when President McKinley
wished to secure the cooperation of and had need to
send a message to General Garcia, who was some-
where back of the enemy's lines in Cuba. The mes-
sage must get past difficulties unnumbered and un-
known. McKinley picked out the man Rowan and
Garcia got the message.

Just as President McKinley, for effectiveness in his
campaign, required the cooperation of General Garcia,
so the American Rose Society, for the effectiveness
of its campaign, requires the cooperation of the men
behind the "big guns" in the American parks.

It is curious how a flower for which many
once cared so little can come to be the object of de-
votion, but after 25 years' work with the aim of pro-
ducing and distributing the best Roses for the Ameri-
can people, I can say that such, indeed, is the influ-
ence of the Rose upon anyone who comes within the
radius of her charms.

This message to you comes from the heart of the
American Rose Society. This organization is made

up of those who love or care for Roses, not only in
4(3 States, Canada and Mexico, but in 20 foreign
countries — eight hundred and nineteen communities
and over 2700 people. This is merely a nucleus, but
we are growing, because the interest in Roses is
growing.

The A. R. S. and Its Influence

We are incorporated and as a corporation of the
first-class and are cooperating with the Bureau of
l'lant Industry of the Federal Department of Agri-
culture for the wide and equitable distribution of the
Rose creations of the late Dr. Van Fleet. The Ameri-
can Rose Society, furthermore, has the good fortune
to work in cooperation with certain outstanding pub-
lic park systems " including Hartford, Conn., Port-
land, Ore., and Minneapolis ; with Cornell Univer-
sity at Ithaca, and the Federal Government at Wash-
ington in the maintenance of Rose Test Gardens. The
American Rose Society holds national exhibitions and
fosters local Rose shows and further, it registers new
American Roses deemed worthy.

But perhaps the major source of our growing
strength and influence is in our publications, which
in the view of many of our members are alone worth
I he price of membership, which is $3 per year. These
are edited by your friend and mine, J. Horace McFar-
land, president of the American Civic Association,
whose office in Harrisburg, like that of our sec-
retary, John C. Wister, 606 Finance Building. Phila-
delphia, is a focusing point and "broadcasting sta-
tion" for world-wide Rose information.

But we realize that despite our Rose annuals and
Members' Hand Book and with all our syndicated
newspaper articles, indeed, with all we can say, we
cannot begin to reach the people with the same effec-
tiveness and persuasive power that you gentlemen
hold within the hollow of your hand. What people
may see with their own eyes in the way of Roses in

your parks has far more influence in teaching them
the love for Roses than all the things we can pos-
sibly say on paper.

The Influence of Public Parks

What greater contribution could you gentlemen
make toward the increase in wholesome joy in the
life of the American people than to provide in your
parks, a taste at least of the most beautiful creations
in horticulture.

I think it was Colonel Goethals who said that the
man who deserves most praise is he who carries
through an achievement the first time. It is most
auspicious for this cause in which I am sure we are
all interested, that the man who for the first time
carried through to success, a real municipal Rose
garden, so far as I know, is your honored director,
Theodore Wirth, who as far back as 1910, made even
more famous the Hartford Park System with the
planting of the beautiful Municipal Rose Garden in
Elizabeth Park. And now the people of Minneapolis
also have had opportunity to appraise the value, far
more than its cost, the Rose Garden which Mr. Wirth
has established in Lyndale Park in this city. On Aug.
5 Mr. Wirth wrote me, "Our local people here be-
lieve in the Rose Garden and we could not take it
away from them if we wanted to."

If there were time, I should like to tell you about
the municipal Rose gardens in Cleveland, Detroit,
Portland and elsewhere. Last season saw the estab-
lishment of a new Rose garden of municipal construc-
tion in New Rochelle, N. Y., and at other points;
within the past month, Mayor Curley, of the city of
Boston, has announced the construction in Franklin
Park of a $100,000 garden, which includes a Rose
garden to contain "all the best and popular kinds of
bush Roses and great numbers of climbing Roses to
be trained on trellises."

As the result of a referendum recently conducted
by the American Rose Society, locations in no less
than 45 cities have been suggested for municipal Rose
gardens. Each of these locations has been sponsored
by resident members of the American Rose Society,
whose names I should be glad to submit to the park
superintendents in each of the cities so designated, if
desired. The American Rose Society feels deeply that
the children of these cities, too often confined like
cliff dwellers, are "entitled to their rightful heritage
of Rose knowledge and Rose love. How these young-
sters may be expected to profit by such opportuni-
ties as a municipal Rose garden might afford them,
may be exemplified by the story told me by a friend
who had been working down where the children had
no playground except the city streets. She noticed a
group of children on their knees, closely inspecting
the sidewalk where a few grains of oats, dropped
from a horse's feed bag, had sprouted and sprung
up between the cracks in the pavement. One little
fellow looked up into her sympathetic face, with fine
enthusiasm, pointing to the blades of grass, exclaimed,
"Madam, some day here a park stand." For the love
of the children, we appeal to you to push forward the
work already well begun, so that the time will soon
come as predicted by Horticulture, when "No large
city will be without its official garden of Roses."

Rose Gardens as an Attraction

As evidence of the supreme appreciation on the
part of your patrons, to be expected from this work,
let us for a moment observe the attention given ac-
cording to records, to the municipal Rose Garden of
Hartford. In 1920, 23,000 visitors was the total for
July 4 and this number was greatly increased on
Rose Sunday, July 11, when every city and commu-

American Park Society, at Minneapolis, Minn., August 19 to 24, 1922.

nity within a radius of 100 miles was represented by
people in automobiles. In the two years since, on
these occasions, the attendance has been steadily in-
creasing, showing no less than 35,000 people in a
single day, and 149,600 for the year, certainly proof
positive of the popular appeal produced by a well
conducted municipal Rose garden.

I note by your program that you have epitomized
the saying of one of your landscape architects who
"would have the entire city a work of art." Emerson
has called Agriculture "Mother of the Arts." How
fitting, therefore, in approaching the subject of a Rose
garden, to recognize that we are definitely entering
into the field of one of the fine arts.

The message of the American Rose Society is an
appeal to you for the establishment of a Rose garden
in every city park system and a request that you
should adopt as the American standard, your recog-
nition of the fact that no park or park system is
complete without its municipal Rose garden.'

Following the above address, Mr. Pyle proceeded
to show on the screen some 75 lantern slides, depict-
ing Rose types and species, including Hugonis; of
the start already made in municipal Rose gardens in
this country and views of European gardens obtained
by the speaker in the course of his two trips to Eu-
rope.

Advertising Plans

greenhouses in the Fall, from which it is frequently
distributed the following season.

C. W. Waid, of Ohio, led a discussion on green-
house Tomatoes, presenting Eugene Davis, of Grand
Rapids, Mich., the originator of the Davis Perfect
Cucumber, and the Grand Rapids Lettuce and To-
mato, as well as the Davis Wax Bean. Mr. Davis
told something of the new Ideal Tomato which hails
from the same town. The use of wilt-resistant varie-
ties in the greenhouse, notably Marvel, he says, is
becoming more general.

A considerable increase in greenhouse acreage
around Cleveland, amounting to perhaps 20 acres, is
reported for last year and this.

Improved Market Conditions

Thursday was devoted almost wholly to marketing
problems. J. H. Tull, of Memphis, and G. V. Branch,
of Detroit, market directors in their respective cities,
told of improvements made in market conditions.
Memphis has built up wholesale and retail markets
and established equitable regulations. The Detroit
Bureau of Markets has just opened a new steel and
concrete building, enclosed for Winter use, that ac-
commodates over a hundred vehicles. Service, rest,
and restaurant facilities have been added in both
Detroit and Memphis. Detroit maintains a market
news service for growers and the interests of buyers
as well as sellers are being protected by new rules.
Growers, buyers, and city officials are all on most
cordial terms.

Indianapolis Entertains Annual V. G. A. A. Convention

THE Vegetable Growers Association of America
at its fifteenth annual convention at Indianapolis
on Aug. 22 to 25 undertook a national movement
to increase the consumption of vegetable foods. The
plan as adopted was developed by S. W. Severance,
Louisville, Ky., manager^of the Market Growers Jour-
nal, and does not contemplate the direct use of space
in national periodicals but rather the encouragement
of advertising by individuals and local organizations
according to their special conditions and needs. Prod-
ucts, seasons, and varieties differ so widely that it
would be extremely difficult to prepare for a given
month, copy suitable for national adaptation. On
the other hand a local organization can time its ef-
forts to encourage canning, to relieve gluts, and in
general to help the community to a better distribu-
tion and more varied of vegetable food throughout
the year.

National Service and a Slogan

The national service contemplates the furnishing of
posters, recipe books, slogan signs for trucks, stamps
for menus, and other material, as well as aid in the
preparation of copy for newspapers. Layouts with
space for special local information will be available

The slogan, "Eat Vegetables for Vitamins" is to
be given prominence.

The advertising idea has already been adopted by
some local bodies and individuals, and considerable
enthusiasm was manifested over the possibilities in
this direction. The officers expect to sell the idea
quite generally in producing centers.

The Indianapolis meeting was well attended al-
though travel from distant points was noticeably
curtailed by the railroad situation. The Indiana and
Indianapolis Vegetable Growers Associations, both
newly formed, outdid themselves in entertaining the
convention. A tour of the garden nearby with a
party at a suburban park, a banquet at the Claypool
Hotel, a visit to the local market, and a vegetable
show staged in Tomlinson Hall were all carried out
with smoothness in every detail.

Progress in Preventing Plant Injury

The program of speeches and discussions centered
around a few leading topics. A half day was de-
voted to plant enemies with Drs. L. R. Jones, of Wis-
cousm, and T. J. Headlee of New Jersey leading, and
experts from Indiana and other stations assisting
/•„Jones tol(1 of the several yellow-resistant strains
of Cabbage that have been developed, and Dr. Head-
lee explained the principles of dusting as applied to
vegetable crops, offering a number of practical sug-
gestions. He favors dolomite (magnesian limestone)
as a carrier for nicotine for the low-growing plants
as it seems to distribute itself under the leaves to
better advantage. The mosaic problem was brought
up and its control by the elimination of harboring
weeds as well as by the destruction of carrying in-
sects was suggested. Physalis (Ground Cherry) and
Bull Nettle serve to winterover the mosaic "of To-
matoes while Milkweed, Wild Cucumber and Poke-
weed harbor the virus that affects the Cucumber
tribe. Striped beetles, aphis and leaf hoppers are the
worst insect carriers. Insects carry the trouble into

Mrs. C. C. Pollwcrth of Milwaukee, President-elect
Ladies S. A. F.

H. W. Samson, of the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, told of the Federal standard grades that
have been worked out for some 12 or 15 vegetable
and fruit products. These are based on the experi-
ence of producers and handlers and are fully tested
out before they are announced. They have proved
highly profitable where adopted. For instance. Flor-
ida Cucumber growers have realized as much for
their U. S. No. 2 grade as others receive for un-
graded stock, while their No. 1 is bringing a decided
premium.

The association endorsed the fight being made by
the New York Market Growers Association for more
equitable conditions on the Wallabout and Ganse-
voort markets in Brooklyn. The Vestal Package
Standardization bill, the Purnell bill for research
funds and the Capper Seed Registration bill were
all suported by resolutions.

Officers Elected

H. F. Tompson, .of Arlington, Mass., was elected
president. He is a grower of vegetables, owning and
operating a farm at Attleboro, and also in charge of
the Market Garden Field Station at Lexington. A. H.
MacLennan, of Guelph, Ont., was elected vice-presi-
dent and O. H. Nissley, of New Brunswick, N. J., and
1-1. J. Cheney, of Grand Rapids, Mich., were re-elected
secretary and treasurer, respectively. Retiring Presi-
dent L. F. Miller, of Toledo, who has served most
acceptably for three years, will continue to act on
the board of directors as junior ex-president.

Gleanings from the Tour of the New

York Florists Club to Kansas City

and the Northwest

ONE year ago when A. L. Miller, of Jamaica, gave
the' New York Florists Club the plan of a per-
sonally conducted tour to the S. A. F. conven-
tion in Kansas City, with an additional week of
travel, he started something that will repeat itself
at many future conventions.

Paul Rigo knew what he was doing when he ap--
pointed Cliff Lowther and A. L. Miller on his trans-
portation committee. Putting things over, starting
something, and finishing strong, are all Miller's quali-
ties. And more, too, he knows how to pick the right
man for the job. He went to his good friend, C. B.
Tinsnian, City Passenger Agent of the Lackawanna
R. R., and told him he wanted him to get off his
perch for two weeks and take our party to the con-
vention in Kansas City, with a stopover in Chicago,
and after the convention continue on to St. Paul.
Minneapolis and Duluth, and finally the Great Lakes
trip of 11S5 miles to Buffalo. Through all this the
genial tour agent Tinsman attended to every ar-
rangement, from start to finish, at a flat price which
included everything and all, from transportation and
Pullmans to m'eals, hotels, taxi and sightseeing cars
throughout the trip and a lot of extras not on the
itinerary.

The S. A. F. "officials" were well represented in the
party that left Hoboken on Aug. 13, for included were
President S. S. Pennock, of Philadelphia, and three
past presidents of the society — "Uncle Dick" Vincent,
the Dahlia King of White Marsh, Md., Frank Traend-
ly, imperial monologist of New York City, and every-
body's friend, Abraham Lincoln Miller.

During the entire trip Mr. Pennock graciously-
acted as spokesman and chairman at the receptions
given the party along the line.

In St. Paul we were met by Olaf Olson and his
wonder workers of the Minnesota State Florists As-
sociation who entertained, as only the West knows,
how, with candy and corsages- for the ladies and jr|J
sightseeing trip throughout ' the Twin Cities, ending
with luncheon at the Hotel Saint Paul. We were
deeply impressed with these splendid warm hearted
florists of the Great Northwest, as well as those of
Cleveland, where Albrecht decorated our diner with
beautiful clusters of Delphinium and pink Roses,-
and in Duluth where Le Borius just took away our
breath with hon voyage baskets delivered to the
staterooms.

Of each and everyone of the florists and their ,
friends comprising the New York Florists Club dele-,
gation I can say the same, for harmony, good fellow-
ship and a loving desire to make the trip enjoyable
for the other fellow was always the first thought.

About the ladies in the party I could write a page,
for they saw to it that no one got lost or lonely. To
Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Traendly and Mrs. Pennock we
are deeply indebted.

In the ship's dining room, where grower, whole-
sa.ler and retailer met on common ground, I saw one,2
"Spike" Schultheis, the 250 lb. Sunshine Baby from,
College Point, start the dinner all over again, while
Ethan Allan Coon, the "Little Giant" Violet grower
from Rhinebeck was explaining to us across the
table how his wife makes Elderberry pie. Schmidt,
the Primrose prince of North Bergen, holding the
record on the Lakes for long distance walking around
the deck, paced me one morning before breakfast for
IS laps (2% miles). Just then the bugle sounded
the mess call and we retired in good order from the
line, only to find out that we were being followed by
2S passengers strung out behind like a cow's tail.
Among them was the debonnair Peter Reis, of Union
Hill, N. J., who was by far the best dressed man on
the tour. This was the only time Reis was on deck
without his attractive little wife who, I recall, al-
ways kept the candy box passed around until We
emptied it. On the last night, when returning to
New York, in our car, "Floriston," President Pennock,
in his usual jovial manner, staged a burlesque of
complaints on Tinsman, of the Lackawanna, present-
ing him with a bottle of pickles. In the uproar that
followed Brother Tinsman drew from the package ; a
pair of beautiful silver candlesticks, a parting gift
to show appreciation of our wonderful convention
tour. W. Cleaver Harry.

There will be pleasant memories with those of the
New York Florists Club and others who joined on
the trip de luxe to and from the convention at Kan-
sas City.

We started from Hoboken with a guide along, fully
competent to explain the beautiful scenes along the
route, beginning previous to reaching the Delaware

Water Gap and continuing along the route of the
first day's stage, till the shadows of eventide closed
the view down for the night.

The afternoon of our second day was spent, after
our arrival and welcome, in an automobile ride
around the park system of Chicago, concluding with
a banquet, and then taking the train for Kansas City,
where we arrived safely and well prepared for the
work before us.

Leaving Kansas City at the close of the conven-
tion, our party entrained on Friday evening for St.
Paul and Minneapolis, and having special cars for
the party, a very enjoyable time was had previous
to retiring. As soon as we landed in the early morn-
ing at St. Paul, we found brother florists there to
meet us, and in a short time, under their guidance,
were located at breakfast, where a beautifully deco-
rated table had been arranged. Immediately after
breakfast, we were escorted across the street to Holm
& Olson's, where a short time was spent and every
lady decorated with a corsage bouquet and presented
with a large box of fine candies. Machines were
waiting and we were soon rolling through the streets
and park boulevards toward Minneapolis, where Theo.
Wirth and his colleagues met us and escorted us
through the same gardens and grounds that so many
of us enjoyed at the convention in 1913. Our time
being brief, we were soon whisked back to the hotel
in St. Paul, where one of the most beautifully deco-
rated tables was found, filled with bounteous food,
etc. After luncheon, short speeches were in order
which were conducted by President Pennock. We
were soon at the railroad station, saying good-bye to
our St. Paul and Minneapolis friends, each and all
sorry our stay in their cities was so brief. Rolling
through strange but beautiful country, we finally
reached Duluth, which was a surprise city, in the
immensity of its iron shipping industries. After a
dinner we embarked on the steamer "Juanita" for
our trip to Buffalo. That our friends left behind
had not forgotten us was evident upon going aboard,
as they had "said it with flowers" in the shape of
beautiful baskets of blossoms. When we reached
Mackinac Island, another treat was in store for us.
With President Pennock and ex-Presidents Traendly,
Vincent and A. L. Miller, as leaders, the carriages
were well filled and the wonderful landscaping of
Nature was much admired throughout the ride.

The rest of the journey was pleasant, the close of
the trip being equally as good as the commencement,
and we parted with our leader, Mr. Tinsman, with
the wish that on a future convention tour he might
again be the leader and of a still larger crowd.

course, raising host plants for injurious insects, is
not according to Hoyle, but you can clear your con-
science by trying to poison them on the host. I am
not certain that it will work, but I am going to try
nicotine dust with the duster next year. Apply it
early in the morning and apply it frequently.

Refrigeration from the Retailer's
Standpoint

By George Wienhoeber, Chicago, at the S. A. F.
Convention

We had 22 in our party and had a most enjoyable
time. Every moment of our travels after we left
Kansas City was one round of pleasure and we only
regretted that there were not more in our party.

A. I>. Miller.

THE subject of refrigeration in the floral indus-
try has been a matter of discussion for years.
To the florist contemplating opening a) new
store, or changing the cooling system now in use, the
question always arises as to whether he should con-
tinue using ice, or adopt the more modern method of
mechanical refrigeration.

At the present time I am operating with both sys-
tems, which enables me to make comparative tests
as to cost, efficiency, cleanliness, etc. The compari-
son is interesting and I am glad to pass this infor-
mation on to the members of the Society of Ameri-
can Florists.

Early Experience with Mechanical Refrigeration

To begin with, I had always been an ardent sup-
porter of the ice cooled box and my experience with
mechanical refrigeration received a very sorry set-
back about 15 years ago when the firm I was with
had one of the oldfashioned ammonia machines in
operation. The Roses kept in this box turned blue
and the odor of ammonia would leak out, to the
annoyance and disgust of every one coming near. No
more ice machines for me — I had had enough — and
when I opened my first store at 41 South Wabash
ave., about seven years ago, I went back to the ice
cooled box ; not that I was satisfied with it, but I
simply made up my mind that it was something that
had to be endured in preference to the ammonia ma-
chine. Who among you have not had the annoyance
of the ice man calling to fill the box after the store
had been arranged for the day, scattering lumps of
broken ice all over your clean floor to endanger life
or limb : or, at other times after you had
bought heavily on the market, failing to come at all,
with the result of loss of stock as well as temper.

Several years ago I was induced to look into the
matter of an uptodate mechanical refrigerating sys-
tem and must say that I was surprised at the strides

that had been made in perfecting a system that
could be used by florists to advantage.

I continued to keep in touch with this method of
icing and when I opened my second store at 28 N.
Michigan ave., I had the architects install a Kroe-
schell mechanical refrigerating system. This system
has now been running continuously since the first of
the year and has exceeded my expectations in every
way.

A Comparison Based on Modern Methods

Xow, as to comparisons. In both stores I use boxes
built by A. L. Randall & Co., of the same average ca-
pacity. The ice bill in my Wabash ave. store aver-
ages from $150 to $175 per month. The expense of
operating the box at my Michigan avenue store aver-
ages about .$30 per month. At this rate I will save
enough in the ice bill alone to pay for the system
in 15 to IS months.

Speaking from a financial standpoint, it will be
readily seen that machine-cooled boxes are a success,
but unless the flowers could be kept as well or bet-
ter than in ice cooled boxes, they still would be imprac-
ticable. Experimenting with the same kind of Roses,
such as the "Premier," I found that those in the
machined-cooled box kept longer and developed more
efficiently. Garden flowers, however, I found did
better in the ice cooled box, due probably to the fact
that there was more moisture. Orchids, also, seemed
to do better in the ice cooled box until I discovered
that by keeping them in covered cartons, I could
have them stand up equally well.

Uniformity and Cleanliness Assured by Machine

Another important feature in favor of mechanical
refrigeration is the fact that, when getting in large
quantities of flowers, you can run your machine and
cool the box to any degree of temperature you wish.
In the case of the ice cooled box, the addition of stock
raises thei temperature, thereby spoiling a lot of
the flowers that were there before the temperature
can equalize itself.

Still another feature in favor of mechanical refrig-
eration is the matter of cleanliness and the doing
away with the ice man coming at inconvenient hours.
You run the machine as long as you wish and when-
ever it suits your convenience.

Figuring from any standpoint, everything is in fa-
vor of mechanical refrigeration, and I have been so
favorably impressed with the showing made in my
Michigan ave. store, that as soon as arrangements
can be made for more space, I intend to have another
machine installed in my Wabash ave. store.

In closing, permit me to say that I will be pleased
to give any member of the S. A. F. the benefit of my
experience and will be glad to assist in any manner
that makes for the betterment of the flower industry.

The Sunflower and the Tarnished
Plant Bug

Here's a Tip for the Aster and Dahlia Grower

In a recent copy of The Exchange I noted an ar-
ticle on the Sunflower which prompts me to suggest
the Sunflower is one of the florist grower's best
friends. Many of us are familiar with the tarnished
plant bug and his destructive ability. He has suc-
ceeded in making many varieties of flowers unprofit-
, able outdoors, and there seems to be no way of
destroying him in the field. The only methods I
know of that are practicable, are to either drive him
away or entice him away.

He doesn't like the shade and if he can find any
hosts out in the bright sunlight, he will come into
partial shade but very little. That is why Asters,
Zinnias, etc., usually do well in a young orchard. But
all do not have a young orchard to plant in, and this
, is where our friend's Kansas Sunflower comes in
handy.

A few years ago I noticed some Sunflower plants
that were just alive with tarnished plant bugs, and
they were not hurting the plant one bit. That gave
me an idea and the next season I tried out interspers-
ing rows of flowers with rows of Sunflowers and it
does the trick. Sow one or two rows of Sunflowers
then three or four rows of those varieties of flowers
that are bothered by the bug. If the Sunflower is
sown early and thick and the rows run north and
south you won't be troubled by the plant bug. The
tall Sunflower makes a host that keeps the bugs well
up above your flowers and as the wind blows across
the field it carries the bugs over the tops of the flow-
ers and into the next row of Sunflowers. ■

Corn will work the same way ; I have usually used
Corn, but it was the Sunflowers that gave me the

How Shall We Make Committees Work?

The failure of committee members to take their job seriously and really help their chairmen is
an all too common characteristic, as most men who have been chairmen can testify. All the
more reason, then, for endeavoring to correct this deplorable state of affairs.
To this end we urge EXCHANGE readers and thinkers to express their views on the various
phases of the important question that beads this article. To open the discussion we present the
following views secured from Fred A. Wilson, chairman of the S. A. F. Committee on Educa-
tion, and long associated with sundry other committees in horticultural and other lines. Who is
going to be the next speaker?

Editor The Florists Exchange :

IN reply to your request that I give you some of
my reactions on committee work, let me note
first that what I may say is drawn from many
years' committee experience, both in serving on them,
and in choosing them and watching for results. I do
not want anyone to assume I speak only from a re-
cent experience and that it has left me crabbed.

A prominent members of a large Chamber of Com-
merce in a sizeable city was once asked if a certain
suggestion of his might not be referred to a com-
mittee. "Committee, — < ," said he, "if you want to

kill it, kill it in meeting, don't kill it that way."

What Kind of a Member Are You?

To begin with, most groups have many members
who are not much interested in their societies. They
may have joined only because swept in by the enthu-
siasm of a membership campaign, or for some other
equally poor reason. In that case their first and last
question is, "What do we get out of it?" Now there
are undoubtedly many times in the exercise of human
effort, when group work is far better than individual
work, when a thousand men working together may
accomplish very shortly what a thousand men work-
ing separately could not do at all. This of course is
only a truism, but what far too many in a group do

not realize, is the fact that the group effort is, after
all, made up of the real work of individuals compos-
ing it. Of course only a few at a time can handle the
work, and so we have officers and committees, changed
from time to time.

Many members are not suited for organization work
for one reason or another, but among those who are,
a sadly large proportion do not take hold and pull.
It is really a part of the laissez faire policy which
makes our citizenry indifferent to so many important
things. People seem not to realize that nearly every-
one depends upon the faithful activity of a hundred
others, even for life itself, and that what hurts or
helps one, hurts or helps all. A banana peel on a
sidewalk, even though we ourselves may not go within
a mile of it, may increase our subscription or tax to
support a hospital, as well as our liability and acci-
dent insurance premiums.

Your Service Obligation

The need, then, is for everyone to realize that he
actually owes a certain amount of time and effort to
public service, which means service for others, or gen-
eral service. On committee work within a group this
means giving one's self for the benefit of whatever the
group is trying to do, if it be worthy — and to improve
the standing and condition of a worthy industry is
decidedly important.

624

The Florists Exchange

Procrastination plays a part. The immediate daily
demands, usually of personal affairs, crowd out those
things which may be postponed ; and after a little of
this procedure many things which may be done any
time are crowded quite off the map. Committee work
is often protected against this by the choice of one
or two members known to be "go getters," men able
to enthuse others either because of their personality
or because of their position. We would step quicker
at a request from the Governor than if asked by our
neighbor, John Smith.

Are not these most of the troubles? To talk about
a cure for them is to speak in platitudes. How can
we wake people up? That is the question. Josh Bil-
lings said: "Rise early. Go to bed late. Work every
minute of the time you are awake. If you ever do
aught for naught do it for yourself. Live upon what
you cannot sell. Never give a penny away. And if

you do not die rich and go to H you can sue me

for damages."

Getting at the Bottom of It

The real work of any organization is the sum total
of the work put into it by all its members. If, indi-
vidually, they put in no efforts at all the group effort
is nil. If an organization is worth while, its members
owe it more than just dues — they owe it real work,
which is a part of the public service every one owes
his fellows. This debt is really owed, but because
there is no compulsory collection we often get by
with lethargy, indifference and procrastination — sprin-
kled with good intentions not carried out. Wrong
training, or absence of right training, in both school
and church is responsible for much of this. Cures
in these places will, of course, be of slow effect upon
the community. In the meantime the only way I
can suggest to increase committee efficiency is — pick
hustlers and load them up; associate with them oth-
ers capable and able, but uninclined to get results
in public service work without the right sort of urg-
ing from the right source.

For fear some member of the Committee on Educa-
tion of the S. A. F. may read such parts of this as
you choose to print, and rush to you with a perfectly
gilt edged reason why that committee did not func-
tion, I make haste to say that its members were
nearly all strangers to me, but were carefully picked
by the then president of the society. I am wholly
willing to admit, and do now again freely state, as
I did in my report, that both I and my methods prob-
ably were to blame. I can only claim, as did my boy
once, after bruising himself in sliding down a long

From experience on committee work, might we not
suggest it as a good idea to be looked into that when
committees are appointed, the party making the ap-
pointment confine himself to the naming of but one
man who shall then become chairman with power to
add one or more members to his committee? This
will leave a chairman completely his own master; if
he wants assistance it will enable him to select the
men whom he feels confident will be of value to him.
The majority of chairmen of committees understand
pretty well that they are looked upon as the whole
works, and that it is up to them to accomplish the
deed for which they were appointed.

Under our present system it may be pleasant for
several members of a club to have themselves named
on a committee, yet we feel that our suggestion is at
least worth looking into. Naturally, this suggestion
is not intended to be applied in the case of highly im-
portant national society committees, which is a dif-
ferent matter altogether.

Home Grown Herbaceous Spiraeas Again

Here's One Man Who Raises Them Successfully

Editor The Florists Exchange :

I read in your issues of Aug. 12 and 19, Messrs.
R. A. Craig's, and A. L. Miller's comments on home
grown herbaceous Spirseas for Easter forcing.

I have for the last three or four years grown my
own clumps of Spiraea, Gladstone, Alexandra and
Rubens, and have forced the two first named varie-
ties with the best of results, having had as many as
24 flower stalks on one plant, and very few with less
than 12.

The variety Rubens, however, did not do so well.
I do not know the reason, as the clumps, when they
were dug in the Fall, were just as large and appar-
ently as healthy looking as those of Gladstone and
Alexandra.

I sold a hundred clumps to a neighbor florist, and
he had them equally as good as mine, last Easter, if
not better. I had for last Easter about 400 plants,
and they were eagerly bought up by storekeepers in

this vicinity, at the higher price we get now, and
should get.

Short Hills, N. J. Thomas P'. Cheistensen.

[The above facts seem to speak well for Mr. Chris-
tensen's ability as a grower, and so long as the pub-
lic is willing to pay what he feels he must ask for
his stock, it will apparently prove profitable for him.
We would have been glad, however, to have had him
give us a few more details as to what his home grown
plants cost him compared with those formerly im-
ported, and as to the relative per cent profit they ac-
tually bring. — En.]

Herbaceous Perennials for Cut Flowers

(Continued from page 613)
nations and Roses and also with yellow. The open
clusters of Belladonna (light blue) and Bellamosum
(dark blue) are the most easily worked up. While
D. formosum is a good dark variety with compact
spikes, many of the hybrids are far superior. These
hybrids also give a considerable range of color and
may be single or double. If not allowed to go to seed
the plants will produce a second crop of flowers late
in the season. Easily propagated from seed.

Dianthus plumarius fl. pi. The double Grass Pinks
are valuable especially on account of their fragrance.

Decorative Plant Stand

Our illustration is that of a stand used by florists
for decorating purposes at receptions and other gath-
erings of that character. It will also answer the pur-
poses of a Christmas tree stand.

This stand does not require any nails or screws
to hold it to the floor as the weight of the tree or
pole rests on the floor and is fastened by a little
pin or staple driven into the bottom of the pole. It
is made of heavy sheet steel, strongly wired, with
2%in. heavy cast iron collar, fitted with three tough
steel thumbscrews, deeply threaded. The stand is
16in. in diameter at the bottom and 4%in. high,
japanned in green with attractive gold decoration of
Holly wreath and bells. This stand is handled by
A. M. Scheffey, Newark, N. J.

The named varieties may be grown from cuttings or
layers. When grown from seed there is always a cer-
tain percentage of singles.

Euphorbia corollata. This, a native Spurge, pro-
duces a wealth of white bloom in late Summer. The
Gypsophila-like flowers last well and may be used in
the same way as the annual Baby's Breath. Propa-
gated by seed or division.

Eryngium amethystinum is mentioned here because
its amethyst-tinted silvery heads may be dried for
Winter bouquets. It is grown from seed.

Gaillardia aristata is similar to the annual Blanket
Flower, but is much larger and brighter. Its red and
yellow flowers last well in water, and are good for
cemetery use. This is one of the few herbaceous
perennials that flowers throughout the Summer. It
is easily propagated by seeds, division or root cut-
tings.

Gypsophila panieulata fl. pi. The double form of
Baby's Breath is so superior to the single that I will
not include the latter here. This airy, graceful flower
works in beautifully with others in bouquets, vases or
designs. It is perhaps one of the best of the herba-
ceous perennials. It dries beautifully and may be
used with the Strawflowers. It is propagated by divi-
sion, cuttings or by grafting; it may also be grown
from seed but only a small proportion come double.

Eelianthus multiflorus fl. pi. is a double hardy Sun-
flower with a bloom like that of a large Zinnia. It
needs some protection to prevent it freezing out.' It
flowers in July and August and is propagated by divi-
sion. Several of the single forms may be used but the

annual form, H. cueumerifolia and its varieties are
superior for cutting.

Heliopsis scabra zinniaflora should be grown for its
bright orange-yellow Zinnia-like flowers, which ap-
pear in July and August. It is not so stiff looking as
the double Sunflower, and is perfectly hardy. It
should be propagated by division. H. pitcheriana
semiplena is a semi-double variety.

Heuchera sangumea. Varieties of this species may
well be grown for the sake of their graceful clusters
of small bell-like flowers. The varieties vary from
white to deep crimson. The named varieties are best
propagated by division; they flower in July and
August.

Iris. Where the blooms can be used locally, many
varieties of Iris may be grown. Those most common
are of the so-called Germanica group which includes
the pallida and florentina varieties. There are propa-
gated by division and should be replanted every four
or five years. If transplanted three or four weeks
after blooming, they will flower the next year.

Lychnis chalcedonica is perhaps the brightest of the
few scarlet perennials. Its small, brilliant Dianthus-
like flowers are arranged in flat compact heads. It
grows from 2ft. to 3ft. high, and is easily raised from
seed.

Pazonia albiflora varieties give one of the most valu-
able outdoor cut flower crops. This plant is so com-
monly grown that it will be passed over here with the
mere statement that it is propagated by division and
should be transplanted in the Fall. Peonies should
not be disturbed until the plants get too large and
crowd one another.

Phlox panieulata (deeussata) includes many beau-
tiful varieites that may be useful, but the white and
light pinks are in greatest demand. The white forms
were formerly much used in funeral work. These
represent the latest blooming of all the Phlox. They
are propagated by division or by stem or root cut-
tings.

Phlox suffruticosa precedes the panieulata type and
differs from it mainly in the shape of the inflores-
cence. Miss Lingard, a white with a pink eye, is the
favorite. There are also several pink forms. Propa-
gated like panieulata.

Physostegia virginica, another native plant, is also
often used for cutting. The flowers are of a delicate
soft pink, but there is also a white variety. The plants
grow 4ft. to 5ft. high, and are easily propagated by
division.

Pyrethrum roseum, with its Aster-like flowers,
ranging from light pink to crimson, should be more
commonly grown. The flowers may be cut with stems
from 12in. to ISin. long. The plants are easily grown
from seed.

Rudbeckia laciniata Golden Glow is too well known
to need description here. It is so easily propagated
and so easily grown that it has spread over the coun-
try in a very short time. It should be serviceable in
large decorative work. An August bloomer.

Rudbeckia Newmanii is one of the Black-eyed
Susans. It grows 24in. to 30in. high, and is propa-
gated by seed or division.

Solidago Virgaurea or its variety nana is a Golden-
rod that should be in every perennial collection. It is
the earliest to flower, coming into bloom in May and
June with Delphinium Belladonna. It should meet
a ready demand at this time as the native Goldenrods
are not yet in flower. It is best propagated by divi-
sion.

Viola cornuta. G. Wermig is one of the tufted Vio-
las. The flowers are small and of the size and
color of a Princess of Wales Violet. In England it
is bunched like Violets and has a ready sale. It is
propagated by cuttings and division and prefers a
moist, somewhat shaded situation.

Other herbaceous perennials that may be of use
to the florist growing his own stock are the various
species of Hemerocallis, Oriental Poppies, Scabiosa
caucasica, Veronicas, Acontium or Monk's Hood,
Eupatorium urticmfolvum, and Pentstemon.

An effort on the part of a daily paper to give the
prices current of the wholesale cut flower market Is
apt to result in more or less of a sad mixup. Such
was the case in the recent report appearing in the
Philadelphia Public Ledger in which it was attempted
to report the condition of the markets of that city,
New York and Boston.

Sally (the farmer's wife): "There's a letter from a London
lady this morning, Timothy, as wants to taken a hopen-air
cure at this 'ere farm in the Summer, and asks if we 'aye ft
bathroom. What am I to say?" Farmer: "Write and tell her
the truth at once, Sally. Say she'd better have her bath
the day before she comes here." — De Laval Monthly.

He's Right — The teacher was trying to impress upon her
pupils the importance of doing right at all times, and to bring
out the answer, "Bad habits," she inquired: "What is it that we
find so easy to get into and so hard to get out of?" There
was silence for a moment and then one little fellow answered,
"Bed." — Boston Transcript.

The Market

Aug. 29. — The Summer quietude
which has prevailed for many weeks still
continues in the wholesale cut flower mar-
ket. The arrivals of some kinds of out-
door grown flowers appear to be somewhat
less than last week, probably because the
growers are withholding them, either at
the wholesaler's request or because the
returns for them were not sufficient to
cover the gathering, packing and expres-
sage.

American Beauty Roses are in consid-
erable supply, but are moving out slowly
at 15c. to 30c. each for special grade
blooms, and at proportionate prices for
the other grades. Top grade blooms of
other Roses are in more than sufficient sup-
ply to meet the weak demand. In fact,
the same is true of all grades. The top
grades now arriving, which of most va-
rieties are no higher than extras, are
bringing 2c. to 10c. each. No. 2 grade
blooms are fetching 50c. to $1.50 per 100.

There are small arrivals now of Carna-
tions from the new plants. These are
bringing 75c. to $1 per 100.

The arrivals of Cattleyas continue to
be on the short side, but the demand for
them is equally weak. Prices range from
75e. to $1.50 each for species, and $2 for
hybrids. The supply of white Lilies is
above medium for the season, and they are
selling $12 to $15 per 100 in response to
a moderate demand. There are small ar-
rivals of rubrum Lilies, which are moving
out very slowly at $5 to $8, and still
smaller arrivals of album Lilies which
are selling at $2 to $6 per 100. The sup-
ply of Lily of the Valley is not overlarge,
prices ranging from $2 to $5 and occa-
sionally $6 per 100. Gardenias are meet-
ing with a small sale at 75e. to $2 per
doz.

In miscellaneous flowers Asters are the
leaders. Many of these now arriving are
of excellent quality, but, about $2 per 100
seems to be the highest price obtainable,
no matter how good the blooms; the ma-
jority of sales are on the basis of 50c. to
$1 per 100, but there is a still lower
grade of blooms which sell for little or
nothing, and besides these, a great number
of blooms go to waste.

The arrivals of Gladioli appear to be
much smaller than last week; neverthe-
less the supply is sufficient to meet the
demand at 50e. to $2 per 100. Dahlias
are arriving in larger quantities. Of
these a few selected blooms of the best
new varieties on long stems realize 75c.
to $1 a doz., but the bulk of the arrivals
is selling at 50e. to $1, and occasionally
$2 per 100; in addition great numbers
cannot be sold and are going to waste.

Other miscellaneous flowers now seen
are a few advance arrivals of Chrysan-
themums, Tritoma (price of which only
a few days after it-appeared on the mar-
ket dropped to $1 per 100), Marigolds,
Zinnias, Calendula and a very few Sweet
Peas.

Indoor grown greens, especially Smilax,
are meeting with very little sale, and the
demand for hardy greens is by no means
large.

Opening of the Flower Selling Season

This month, after Labor Day has
passed, the flower selling business usually
begins at least to show indications of a
revival; but no great activity in this
line can reasonably be expected before
Oct. 1, when nearly all those families that

have passed the Summer out of the city
will have returned.

During this month, at least three new
wholesale firms will engage in the flower
business here and at least one retailer.
This will tend to show that both branches
of the business continue to be attractive
and profitable. Were it not for the rail-
road and coal troubles, which have been
for some time and are still clouding the
national sky, the outlook for a good sea-
son, both wholesale and retail, would be
very favorable, but owing to the unset-
tled conditions in railroads and mines,
no one can tell what is in store for the
flower industry.

New Firms in the Trade

Lecakes, Chingos & Co. have es-
tablished a wholesale evergreen and flo-
rists' supply business and are this week
opening up for this purpose at Booth 15
in the 18th st. wholesale flower market.
The cooperators are Coats Lecakes,
George Lecakes, George Chingos and Cos-
tas Vangelakes, the first named being the
manager of the company.

A branch wholesale flower store of the
Henshaw Floral Co., 43 West 18th st., is
opening up at 80 New st., Newark, N. J.,
this week. The retail flower store of the
Charles H. Totty Co. will open at 4 E.
53d st., about Sept. 15. Another whole-
sale flower store will open in the 18th St.
market this month, but the names of the
members of the company are for the pres-
ent withheld on request.

A Correction

In The Exchange of Aug. 26 in
that part of the "Report of the Judges
on Trade Exhibits," at the recent S. A.
F. convention dealing with awards on
"Florists' Supplies," the name "Hender-
son & Co., New York City.," should have
been "Henshaw Floral Co., New York
City." This company was given "Hon-
orable Mention" by the judges.

Wm. T. Her, 43 West 18th St., has
just installed in his store a large new
uptodate ice box to meet the demands
of his increased business.

Samuel Salzberg of the B. Jacobs Cut
Flower Co., Inc., 43 West 18th st., re-
turned on Friday, Aug. 25, from a month's
auto trip, on which he was accompanied
by Mrs. Salzberg. On this trip he tells
us, he covered about 3500 miles, during
which the weather was fine. The trip
was a decided success both from the
standpoint of business and pleasure. Ev-
erywhere on the trip, he says, in all
flower stores, and also in the growing
establishments his eyes met the favorite
slogan, "Say it with Flowers."

Matthew Sampson of the Noe & Samp-
son Department of the New York Cut
Flower Co., in the Coogan Bldg., 26th st.
and 6th ave., has just returned from a
several weeks' vacation which he spent
in an auto trip, accompanied by his fam-
ily. Mr. Sampson went through the Cats-
kill and Adirondack Mountains, visited
the cities of Bradford, Pa., Buffalo^ One-
onta, Binghamton, N. Y.; Port Jervis, the
tri-state city, and several other northern
cities. On the southern lap he visited
Philadelphia, Baltimore and parts of Vir-
ginia, and on the return trip, passed some
time at Sea Girt and Asbury Park.

The United Cut Flower Co., Inc., Ill
W. 28th St., reports the loss of its favorite
and able bookkeeper and business woman,
Miss Mildred Krumholz, who leaves Sept.
1 to go to Los Angeles, Calif., where her
family are going to live permanently.

Wm. Kessler, 113 W. 28th st., received
on Saturday, Aug. 26th, what he believes
to be the first good Chrysanthemum^ of
the season. These were of the variety

Mrs. Wm. Kessler, the light yellow sport

ing establishment of Dryer Bros., White-
stone, L. I.

We noted at Samuel C. Gilbert's, 43 W.
18th st., blooms of excellent quality of a
number of the best cut flower varieties
of Dahlias, and also of the best standard
varieties. Mr. Gilbert is receiving a
steady supply of these Dahlias, which he
says are of a quality that will bear ship-
ping any reasonable distance, from Under-
bill's 20 acre Babylon Dahlia Gardens.
Among the varieties we noted this week,
King of the Autumn and Attraction were
especially fine.

I. Goldstein, 43 West 18th st., is now
receiving some of the best Asters we have
seen in the wholesale cut flower market
this season. We could not help thinking
as we looked at them that they deserve
better prices than Asters are commanding
at this time. Mr. Goldstein is also receiv-
ing a regular supply of fine Lilies.

We are advised that there are sites for
rent under ten years lease in the imme-
diate vicinity of the Cathedral of St.
John the Divine which would be admirable
for greenhouse or florist purposes. The
surroundings are restricted to residential
purposes, but this restriction does not
exclude the florist. This may prove a
good opportunity for some one. Who-
ever desires further information can ob-
tain, same at Room 1116, Singer Building,
149 Broadway, New York.

Theodore Outerbridge of Sunnylands,
Bermuda, was a caller at The Exchange
office this week. He reports having har-
vested this season the finest crops of L.
Harrisii he has ever lifted. Six years
ago Mr. Outerbridge inaugurated a dras-
tic system of rogueing out all untrue or
poor quality bulbs and the present splen-
did crop is the result. He reports most
satisfactory sales.

Buffalo, N. Y.

The wholesale market of Buffalo
has been overstocked with Gladioli and
other garden flowers. The cause is due
partly to the railway strike and also less
demand by cemetery florists, who for some
time past have not need a supply on ac-
count of the street car strike. People
do not visit graves as frequently, caus-
ing almost a complete cut off in that line
of work. Roses, including Am. Beauty,
are very fine, but too plentiful. Few
weddings these days make demand less.

Henry Elvers of the South Park Botan-
ical Gardens has opened a fine new shop
with greenhouse attached. The location on
Hertel ave. is rather fine, as there are
not many florists that direction. He is
carrying a good supply of cut flowers, and
an assortment of palms, ferns, etc.

Robert Scott and wife are enjoying a
vacation. Bob is hitting the golf ball
heavily; he's quite a player these days.

The Wm. Scott Co. of Main st. has
just completed their new 40ft.xl00ft.
greenhouse; it is planted with Chrysan-
themums. Ed. Stratmeyer of Sandifords
has returned to his duty as manager after
a rest in the country.

Chas Netsch has spent his spare time
redecorating his store for the Fall trade.
Charlie has given up his vacation.

Wm. Sievers is still abroad on an ex-
tended trip. Lovely vacation, I'll say.

Wm. Greier and John Cramer have
spent a few days at the Toronto fair.

Wm. Mack, manager of Palmer's Dela-
ware store, is sending boxes of Cedar cut
up in the Canadian woods to his Buffalo
stores to make wreaths. It surely is fine
looking and very economical for funeral
work.

L. Sasalla of Pan's Shop, Broadway, has
had a good Summer business. His wed-
ding orders never seem to cease. His new
car shows prosperity.

Miss Ruth Barry of Palmer's has just
returned from a vacation spent at Angola
Beach, Hillcrest. Heavy on the swim-
ming.

Miss Grace Townsend, also of Palmer's,
is back from a short vacation in the
country. Guess Grace likes the country,
but Miss Beulah Slattery prefers the city
every time. R. B.

Des Moines, Iowa

Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Maynard of Auburn,
Ind., went to Des Moines from the conven-
tion, with J. D. Fulmer and his daughter,
on Friday, Aug. 18, remaining over until
the 23d. They report a delightful visit
and Des Moines a beautiful city. The
return home was via Chicago, Aug. 25.

Dover, 0.

Business has been quiet of late, and
collections none too good, but things are
picking up now, and it is to be hoped a
decided improvement will follow. The
weather had been extremely dry, but re-
cent fine rains have considerably improved
the appearance of stock. Our informant
adds: "Still, we can see no reason for
unbounded prosperity so long as coal can
be mined at $2.50 a ton three miles away
and sold here for $7.50 to $10 a ton."

Faibport, N. Y. — The improvements to
the George B. Hart nursery, just south of
the village, are rapidly nearing comple-
tion. A new double greenhouse, 200tt.x
75ft., is being constructed. Two boilers,
with a capacity of 300 horse power, are to
furnish heat for the plant. A large concrete
cistern, 30ft.x40ft.xl0ft., has been built
to furnish soft water for the boilers. With
the addition of the new building there will
be some 75,000 sq. ft. of glass covering the
various greenhouses. Over 10,000 Rose
plants are already set in the new building.
The plant is in charge of John Saak,
whom Mr. Hart brought here from Boston.

W. E. Groves, president of the Canadian
Florists and Gardeners Association, a
leading thinker and a man of considerable
prominence in his own country, is also
becoming known to the trade of this
country. In an address recently delivered
before members of the Rotary Club of
Montreal, he insisted that in so young a
country as Canada it was essential that
the importance of flowers should be broad-
casted so as to make the wayside cottages
as beautiful as those in other lands and
to introduce color into the lives of the
populace. This increased cultivation of
flowers would do much to induce content-
ment and combat unrest in the ranks of
the toilers.

The Market

Aug. 29.— The week just closed has
been another one of light business in
keeping with several preceding ones since
the period of mid-Summer inactivity be-
set the market. There is little to report
other than that the tendency to better
conditions is slowly on the way. There
is a crispness in the atmosphere that por-
tends the passing of Summer flowers, and
with those out of the way better condi-
tions must inevitably come. Just as long
as the overwhelming supply of Asters and
Gladioli prevail there will be no active
market for other stock.

The great supply of Gladioli that has
been thrown headlong on the market dur-
ing July and August is gradually coming
to an end. The consignments are daily
growing less, but there is still more than
can be sold to advantage. It will not be
until frost, that the supply will come to
a close for the season, but with the com-
ing of the early Chrysanthemums and Car-
nations they will have lost their appeal
to flower buyers. The Aster supply is
still unwieldy and only the best stock can
be moved, leaving a large portion of low
grade stock to be sold for whatever it
will bring or to go to the dump. The sup-
ply, while large, is like that of Gladioli
gradually on. thfc down grade. There
will be some for a while yet, but as a
factor on the market they are gradually
losing ground.

_ Apart from Asters and Gladioli there
is little else in Summer flowers worthy of
mention. There are, to be sure, lots of lit-
tle odds and ends of stock, but no more
than what there is demand for.

The Rose supply has taken on some
proportions since the last report. There
is now a good supply and if it were not
for the preponderance of other , stock
there would be no trouble in moving all
that come in, at satisfactorfy prices. Pre-
mier, Mme. Butterfly and Columbia are
leaders in point of both supply and de-
mand. Carnations are again beginning to
come in and will soon be a factor on the
market. The quality so far is mediocre
and short in stem, but as good as is us-
ually to be had at this season.

With the above record of the supply
of the leading items it is noted that the
market is not evenly balanced, as a
scarcity of orchids and Valley is keenly
felt. A few funerals of men of wealth
and prominence the past week called for
choice stock that was difficult to obtain.
There are about as many Easter Lilies as
there is any demand for. Cosmos. Zin-
nias, Centaureas and Gaillardias comprise
the supply of garden flowers. The first
of September closes the vacation season
and next week will see the full force of
operators back at their accustomed places.

The funeral of Levy Meyer, millionaire
lawyer and philanthropist, called for a
large amount of cut flower work. The
Grommes funeral at Highland Park was
another occasion for the profuse use of
flowers. The funeral of Francis Stuyve-

sant Peabody, the multi-millionaire coal
magnate on Tuesday at Hinsdale would
have been another great occasion for the
use of flowers had it not been for the
"Please Omit" line in the funeral no-
tices. Still there were a good many
family pieces of which the E. Wienhoe-
ber Co. had a large portion. Ed. Winter-
son had many large pieces for both the
Grommes and the Meyer obsequies.

The Coal and Oil Questions

The coal question is an all absorb-
ing one with the growers. The trustees of
the Chicago Florists Club had a recent
conference with the State fuel administra-
tor at which he stated that dealers will
be permitted to fill their contracts when
fuel is available. Dealers who have con-
tracts with greenhouse men assure them
they will take care of their regular cus-
tomers regardless of what their line of
occupation may be. Whatever consola-
tion may be had from this is partly offset
by the facts that no new contracts are
being made, only current prices are given.
All Illinois mines will be working in
full this week, having closed Tuesday as a
tribute to Francis S. Peabody, whose
industry had opened for the miners their
avenues of employment.

. T^ere is some interest in the subject of
oil heating for greenhouses, but here
again comes the uncertainty of the im-
pending railroad strike. There are a few
greenhouse establishments around Chicago
that have been operating with oil as a
™<? *°r s°me time past. Steilow Bros,
iNiles Center, have probably the most ex-
tensive range heated by oil. Then there
are Brooks Brothers, Morton Grove, and
1 red Greagor, on Cottage Grove ave
near Oakwood Cemetery, who have been
Tmrr £?' successfully i'or a few years.
A. 1. Hey at May wood has been operat-
ing with oil. Frank Beu, on Crawford
ave., also New City Floral Floral Co,
Ihroop st„ has for a long time been op-
erating with oil as a fuel. When oil
was first adopted by these people during
the coal shortage incident to the war in
iaiS, crude oil could be purchased at
from 3%c. to 4c. per gallon; it has since
gone up to 12i/2e. per gallon. This is not
encouraging as to the installment of oil
heating equipments except in emergencies
1 he saving of time in stoking and in
handling coal and ashes— all items of ex-
pense to the growers— are altogether elim-
inated by the use of oil as a fuel. This
of itself is worthy of consideration by
growers who may be contemplating a
change from coal to oil for greenhouse
heating.

News Notes

Chas Erne of Erne & Co., is back from
a two weeks vacation. He believes that
after Labor Day the market will assume
much greater activity. In his estimation
this has been the turning point in Sum-
mer trade.

Jack Shotwell of the Shotwell Floral
Co., Fargo, N. D., has been here on his
way home from Flint, Mich., where he
went to purchase a new Buick car that
he will drive home.

Swan Peterson of Rockford, 111., was in
the city Saturday making purchases for
his Fall trade. He is rapidly extending
his business, having greenhouses in three
sections of the city. The latest is a range
now in the course of construction by the
A. Dietsch Co. of Chicago.

Miss Nelda Wolfe, bookkeeper for the
wholesale house of Zech & Mann, is back
from a two week's vacation spent in Col-
orado.

Jas. J. Kairns, representing Henry A.
Dreer Co., Philadelphia, left Monday
after spending several days in the city. He
reports business good in palms and dec-
orative plants, of which he had an exhibit
here.

The Poehlmann Bros. Co. expect
to occupy their new premises about Oct.
1. A large force of workmen are busy
making the necessary changes and other-
wise putting the place in order for ar

uptodate wholesale establishment.

The Uptown Chicago exposition will
be held Oct. 18 to 21. The dates are
rather early for a Chrysanthemum ex-
position on similar lines as last year, but
a number of the North side florists will
hold individual expositions.

Guy M. Beburn, well known in con-
nection with the seed trade and recently
in the brokerage business here, is spend-
ing the week with friends as a part of
his vacation. He is now a resident of
Coatesville, Pa. It is possible he may
enter the business circles of the city
again if a suitable opening can be found.

Jacob Russler has a large variety of
hardy perennials and shrubbery at his
place adjoining Mount Olivet Cemetery.
Clematis panieulata and coceinea are
in bloom and make a unique picture,
his cottage being covered all over, as
well as the porches and other available
places around his grounds.

Tom Rogers has much improved his
store at 7055 Wentworth ave. by adding
some additional fixtures and decorating
the entire interior. He finds business
holding up well during the Summer
months.

A. J. Zech and family motoredi to
Delevan, Wis., Saturday, returning Sun-
day evening. Ollie says the chicken
dinners served at Delevan Lake are well
worth the trip. A stop was made at
Janesville, returning, where a few calls
were made on the local trade.

A large circular bed of Canna King
Humbert at the entrance of ■ Mount
Greenwood Cemetery is the object of
much admiration by the large crowd who
visit this and other cemeteries in this
section of the city every Sunday.

C. W. Johnson, Rockford, 111., was in
the city the past week, and is well
pleased with his business connections at
Rockford. He is just as enthusiastic
in the growing of Chrysanthemums as
ever, and will be heard from again dur-
ing the Fall shows.

Undertakers Commissions

What is the proper percentage to give
the undertakers for doorsprays, palm
decorations and floral orders received di-
rectly or indirectly through them? I al-
low my undertakers 10 per cent on all
orders, but some of them claim that other
florists give 20 per cent.

My opinion is that it is impossible to
give people their money's worth and give
20 per cent to the undertaker — "commis-
sion."—A. M., N. Y.

— This subject has more than once been
discussed, and we believe it is generally
agreed that undertakers' business at above
10 per cent is not worth catering to.
Undertakers who demand 20 to 25 per
cent are nothing better than extortionists.
It is our view that such people are little
better than ghouls, inasmuch that they
not only overcharge their sorrowing pa-
trons, but even force the florist to over-
charge in order to meet the undertakers'
demands. Perhaps some of our city flo-
rists can tell us how they deal with such
conditions.

Retarded Gladioli

We have some Gladiolus bulbs of 1921
in cold storage of Primulinus and America
varieties. These we want to plant so that
we will have them in flower from the
15th of December onward. The growing
will be done here in Florida, in the open
ground.

Have any of the readers of The Ex-
change had any experience with the re-
tarding of these bulbs, and could they
advise me how many days I should allow
from the time of planting the bulbs to
come in flower about Dec. 15? — G. W.,
Fla.

— We believe Gladiolus bulbs cannot be
kept out of the ground beyond a certain
period, without spoiling them for flower-
ing. If your bulbs of 1921 harvest were
grown in Florida, where the season is
weeks ahead of these parts, it's odds
against them doing anything but grow
wnether you plant now or later.

If you have Florida grown bulbs, which
have been rested for a couple of months,
you will have no difficulty in getting them
in when wanted, if the season is right,
but we think cold stored bulbs held till
this date will disappoint you. Peel a
few bulbs; you may get an idea as to
prospects.

Grass Under Trees

Can you suggest any method of making
grass grow under trees? — A. D., N. Y.

■ — Making grass grow under trees, where
it does not do so naturally, is a difficult
proposition. The usual mixture for shady
places is Kentucky Blue, Wood Meadow,
Crested Dog's Tail and the varied Fescue
F. heterophylla. Somehow it is difficult
to induce seed to come up well and stay,
especially if the shade is very heavy. One
of the major difficulties is dryness, which
under trees is, in Summer, usually acute.

Perhaps some reader has experience
along these lines.

The Market

Aug. 29. — And it came to pass
when the reporter of The Florists Ex-
change did wander into the Flower
Market and make pleasant inquiry of
one robust Mr. S. Alesman, this rotund
piece of jocularity called his brethren
about him and made speech to them this-
wise: "Behold, my brothers in misery,
this guy who must just have awakened
from a long, long sleep and bas not yet
found senses enough to gather unto his
dome the woeful information that Mr.
Pub Lie brings no more any shekels to
his old-time friend Re-Tailer and con-
sequentamently the latter, to (his own
great sorrow, cannot make a present of
said shekels to his old friend S. Alesman
in the flower market."

And all the brethren spake in chorus :
"Oh, most noble and tender hearted
scribe, impress upon your noodle the
fact that the flower business in Boston
has departed the way of all flesh, has
gone to glory, is nix and no more. Amen."
And the brethren began to weep and to
tear each other's hair until the smallest
one broke into the following lamenta-
tion : "Oh, Old Top and most illustrious
purveyor of news, listen to what has

befallen us. Bizi-ness has gone up the
spout and our only hope is the Sher-IfE
whom we expect every minute to appear
in the flesh to make an end of our
blighted Ex-is-tence."

And the whole bunch of them started
the same old howl all over again in a
dif-fer-ent key and spoke as one man :
"Oh, thou pitiful scribe, perpetrate a
record of our woe. Tell the coming gen-
erations that we try to give away the
supremely enchanting American Beauty
Rose, called 'Special,' for the measly
sum of 25 shekels and, our hearts verily
bleed, Old Top, to whisper the fact that
we do not suc-ceed. Woe is unto us.

"Nay, the worst is yet to come, the
awful tale of calamity must be told, and
we say into your rosy ear, that lovely
Gla-di-o-li and As-ters of many reful-
gent hues are falling on their knees be-
fore the hardhearted Mr. Re-Tailer, im-
ploring to be bought for nothing at all
and Ms nibs turned away his face."

And it came to pass that the reporter
could feel the salt waves mount to his_
eyes and he was smote with compassion,'
wherefore he made speech and sayeth :
"Look here, Old Man, of a verity my
heart bleeds for thee, but what are you
gonna do about it? Lissen to me; not
many moons away, when Mr. Pub Lie
■has returned from his froli-fi-ca-tions,
when the Flap-Per needs a bouquet to
keep warm her Turn-My, then Re-Venge
will be sweet, then, you poor Bo-Ob,
you can soak Mr. Re-Tailer good and
plenty. Behold, thus in good time the
worm, which, at present is you, can
turn and catch the bird."

A heavenly ' glow overspread Mr. S.
Alesman's faded countenance and his
yells of delight congregated about him
the other brethren who nearly patted
the reporter's shoulders into pulp ; jubi-
lating, as they danced up and down the
empty market halls.

And they did this thing : They started
all kinds of songs, but not knowing how
to sing they mixed the melodies of "Wait
Till the Clouds Roll By," "Ain't It
Awful, Mabel," and "We'll Get Them
Yet, Boys."

And it came to pass that the reporter,
who knows when enough is plenty, cast
an eye toward the exit and made him-
self scarce from thence.

News Notes

Harry Langerman sells a good many
bulbs over the counter in his store in the

new Kresge Building on Washington st.
He has just received 150,000 Paperwhite
Narcissi, and he claims that they are the
cleanest, firmest and handsomest bulbs he
ever handled.

At the last meeting of the directors of
the combined flower markets, Aug. 19, it
was voted to increase the capital stock
from $20,000 to $250,000. Wm. C. Stickel
was the presiding officer, and the trans-
action was completed in record time. An-
other meeting is announced for the near
future, at which it may be definitely de-
cided which site has been chosen for the
new market.

Money in Flowers

Perseverance, in spite of all ob-
stacles, seems to be the strong card in the
business career of Joe Price, the young
man who sells flowers on the streets of
Boston, when flowers are cheap and plen-
tiful. Recently, in the short space of six
days, he was hauled before the court seven
times, and every time had the pleasure
of forking over a fine of $5. "That's all
in a day s business," says Joe, and gets
ready to ' be pinched again. And there
must be money, in the business at that,
for he persists in smoking the same brand
of high priced cigars.

That people are looking for chances to
make money was brought to the writer's
attention again, recently, when the Boston
Globe printed an account of how a good
many inhabitants of Mansfield, Mass.,
have taken up the culture of Gladioli, and
how they are doing well at it. Ever since
the article appeared, people who know
that the writer is connected with the
flower business, have pestered him almost
to death with questions of how to break
into this Gladioli game. The latest man
looking for information is one of Uncle
Sam's letter carriers, who owns a house
and back yard. He wanted to know if
there is not more money in Gladioli than
what there is in hens. The writer told
him : "Yes, sure, only it is a thundering
job to get it out." "You cannot fool me,
I read all about it in the Globe" he said,
and stalked off.

Welch Bros., 262 Devonshire st., re-
port the largest shipping business in re-
cent years. Not only the orders are larger
generally, but the firm has acquired many
substantial new customers among inland
florists and beach resorts along the coast.
Thos. Scott Laidlaw, the firm's book-
keeper, is automobiling in the mountain
regions of Maine, Vermont and New
Hampshire and intends to take a flyer
into Southern Canada. He didn't exactly
mention what for, except that he heard
that the filling stations up that way fur-
nish excellent gas.

Edward Winkler of Wakefield, the
originator of Morning Glow Carnation, is
just putting the finishing touches to his
new iron frame greenhouse, 250ft.x40ft.
He had his young stock planted on high
ground and can show an excellent lot of
young plants. Mr. Winkler is sending
to his salesman, Arthur Carr, in the
Flower Exchange Market, the first blooms
of Matchless from this season's planting.
Arthur Carr is also receiving good sized
shipments of fine Feverfew from Tony
de Lucco, for which there is always a
good demand.

William Goldberg, buyer for Penn's,
has returned from an automobile camping
trip, which took him through the White
Mountains, clear to Poland Springs. He
thinks it is great to stop wherever one
sees an inviting spot, to hitch the gas
buggy to a stump and to pitch a temporary
canvas home among the Pines.

Welch's, at 288 Devonshire st., are well
pleased with the business done last week,
when the demand for American Beauty
Roses, Lily of the Valley and orchids out-
ran the supply, so that the firm had to
send hurry calls for stock to New York
and Philadelphia. The firm is handling
the first Chrysolora Chrysanthemums of
the season. These are wonderful specimen
blooms, selling at a good figure. A large
importation of florists' supplies and novel-
ties in baskets, etc., has just arrived at
the Customs House.

We are sorry to report that Harold J.
Patten of Tewksbury, Mass., is tempo-
rarily laid up, as the result of a fall while
working in his greenhouses.

At the North Shore Horticultural So-
ciety's annual exhibition at Manchester,
Mass., Aug. 22 to 23, Penn's were awarded
first prize for a table decoration with
eight covers. Also first prize for a basket
of cut flowers arranged for effect. Dun-
can Robertson, designer at Penn's, is tak-
ing his vacation among the hills and dales
of our Northern States.

L. E. Manning, editor of the Nursery
Department of The Floksts' Exchange,
stopped. over in Boston for a few days on
his way to New Brunswick, where he
intends to spend his vacation roaming
among the scenes of his childhood.

E. H. Wilson of the Arnold Arboretum
has returned, with his family, from a tour
which lasted nearly three years and took
him around the world. During his ab-
sence, he visited the centers of horticul-
tural interests in every country.

Letters have arrived from as far as
California, Kansas, Ohio, Indiana, etc.,
from members of the National Gardeners
Association, promising to be present at
the coming convention in Boston, Sept.
12 to 15.

The exhibition of products of children's
gardens in Horticultural Hall, Aug. 26
and 27, was an unqualified success. The
entries in the 30 classes were so numerous
that they filled the great main hall and
the smaller exhibition hall completely,
covering altogether more than 50 tables.
Under the direction of James Wheeler,
who has always shown the greatest inter-
est in this work of the children, and who
is their special friend, the exhibits were
most beautifully displayed. Many of the
visitors to the exhibition declared that
in some respects some shows by grown ups
do not come near the children's exhibi-
tion of this year. The youngsters cer-
tainly give wonderful promise of becoming
expert workers in the various fields of
horticulture.

Providence, R. I.

Odd Notes

Market conditions remain the same
with a very fair supply of most all kinds
of flowers.

Mr. McCarthy of O'Connors has return-
ed from a two weeks' vacation spent in
and around Block Island, while Mr. Mc-
Kenna of the same firm spent his two
weeks in Canada.

Archie C. Akin has returned from a
month's trip to California. He spent a
few days in Albany, Buffalo, Syracuse,
Niagara Falls, N. Y.; Cleveland, O.; De-
troit, Mich.; Chicago, 111.; St. Louis, the
S. A. F. convention at Kansas City, Den-
ver and Los Angeles. He reports a small
attendance at the convention and the
West as being very much in need of
rain. Miss Madeline Dempsey, the very
congenial bookkeeper of this same firm

THE TWO LEADING VARIETIES ARE RUSSELL AND

For quality, size and substance the Russell and Columbia
are far better than what you would expect to be able to
buy during the Summer months.

If you are not buying our Roses, you are probably not
doing as well by making your purchases where there is not
the big supply as we have.

BEAUTIES

We can furnish. This is a special crop one of our growers
is bringing in during the Summer. If you need something
extra good in Roses, suggest Beauties.

The Market

The market for the last week in
August shows a better tone and generally
trade is slightly firmer. The cooler
weather has considerably improved the
quality of the stock now arriving, and in
particular the Roses are coming in fine
shape. Asters are in lighter receipts and
the bulk of them confined to the shell
pink sorts. Good Asters are sought for
and the scale of prices is from lc. to 5c,
but few 5c. ones are in evidence. Gladioli
are also in smaller supply, but it is still
more than ample for present requirements.
Cattleyas are scarce.

The first Golden Glow Chrysanthemums
of the season made their appearance Aug.
28 and were quoted at $3 per doz., but
I doubt they ever made it. Dahlias are
trying to edge in, but they are on the
blacklist until after September 10. Lilies
are good property at $15 per 100.

Roses, as stated before, are in good
shape and top grade Russell touch 10c.
Am. Beauty is good at $5 per doz.
Among the miscellaneous flowers are to be
found single and double Cosmos, Larkspur,
Valley, Bouvardias and Sweet Peas.

News Notes

The Whilldin Pottery Co., 7th and
Wharton sts., was swept by a fire on
the night of Aug. 24 and suffered severe
damage. The loss is estimated at $75,000.
John G. Whilldin, president of the com-
pany, states the work of rebuilding will
commence at once. The origin of the
fire is a mystery; it started late in the
evening and there was no one on the
premises at the time. It was a spectacu-
lar blaze and could be seen for miles.

The regular monthly meetings of the
Florists Club will resume next Tuesday
evening, Sept. 5, at the Hotel Adelphia.
In the regular course of business for the
evening, will be the nomination of offi-
cers to serve for the ensuing year.

The final standings of the baseball clubs
in the Florists League is still unsettled,
as there were no games played since those
reported in last week's issue. The post-
poned games will probably be played off
this week.

The Marean Dahlia Gardens

An Open Invitation

The gardens of the late Judge Marean,
at Green's Farms, Conn., are now open to
the public. John Scheepers, Inc., invite
horticultural societies, garden clubs, flo-
rists clubs and all others interested in
horticulture or in Dahlias to visit the
Marean Gardens.

The gardens are best reached by motor:
Boston Post road to Westport, Conn.;
cross Westport bridge; one mile beyond,
still on Post road, turn sharply to right at
tea room, on to road connecting
Shore road with Post road; at turning,
keep blacksmith shop on left. The Ma-
rean Gardens are about 100 yards from
the Post road on right hand side.

Coming from Boston, after leaving
Bridgeport, go through Fairfield, contin-
uing on Post road until reaching point one
mile beyond Westport bridge; turn sharp-
ly into left, blacksmith shop and tea room
on right; follow road for 100 yards.

The famous Marean Dahlias are not
planted in nursery fashion, but together
with various other plants in a color ar-
rangement that, once seen, will never be
forgotten. The display which visitors
can now feast their eyes upon is magnifi-
cent and will be so until the various
Dahlia exhibitions demand the plants.

Business Fair

The demand for flowers this Sum
mer while slightly less than for the
same period in 1921, has been far from
discouraging. Funeral work has, at
times, been quite brisk, and people seem
to use flowers on more occasions than
formerly. The market has been in fail'
condition, despite the fact that every-
one who has a plot of ground seems to
be raising outdoor stock. Many of the
farmers who raised flowers this season
found it very unprofitable because of the
slow demand and the oversupply. Per-
haps next season there will be fewer
such growers as a result of their ex-
perience.

Gladioli and Asters have been very
plentiful during the past week and even
at low prices, do not move very briskly.
Roses at times have been very scarce,
white ones in particular. Rubrum Lilies
and Valley are among the other offer-
ings in a limited market. Florists here
are worrying considerably over the coal
and railroad strikes, seeing poor busi-
ness this Fall if these are not settled
immediately. Plants are beginning to
close down here and extensive building
operations are being curtailed through
lack of materials. Business men through-
out the country should flood Congress
with telegrams demanding action on this
dangerous situation that is hampering
the country's return to prosperity. The
writer believes we are much to blame
for these evils, because we take no in-
terest in their solution until the shoe
begins to pinch our particular foot. Then,
when it is too late we see the need for
action. No strike of the magnitude of
the railroad and coal strikes can last
even one day without taking dollars out
of the pockets of every florist as well
as of every other citizen.

Miss Josephine Helmer, of the Hel-
mer Flower Shop, attended the S. A. Fj
convention at Kansas City, and during
her absence, Jacob Helmer had one of
the best weeks of the Summer. After
all, it pays to go to conventions.

Max Zaller, operating the Spanner
Flower Shop, does not believe in slowing
down in the Summer time. He has been
putting on some Saturday specials that
are humdingers for bringing the people
into his shop. Asters and Gladioli have
been featured.

Harry Heinl and wife have returned
from a motor trip to Kansas City where
he visited the S. A. F. convention. Harry
predicts increasing business this Fall
if the strikes are settled.

Schramm Brothers have been using
field flowers to good advantage this Sum-
mer. These are free for the cutting
along the roads and they have been com-
bining them with Asters and Gladioli, to
make very profitable basket effects and
novelties. These are different, appeal to
people and the margin helps an other-
wise unprofitable season.

Feniger's Superior st. flower shop has
been having some attractive window dis-
plays of Gladioli and Asters. His pres-
ent location on Adams st. has been
leased by the Woolworth Co. and in a
few months, he will operate only one
shop which will be on Superior st. near
his other store. F. M. S.

Eugene Wardlaw, florist of North Wal-
nut St., Brazil, Ind., has bought the inter-
est in the Brazil Greenhouse.

Among the Growers

(Continued from page 610)
private estates, parks and the beautifying
of civic and public institutions, and era-
ploys a large staff of draughtsmen, land-
scape architects and competent, workmen
the year around. The introduction of
tested novelties and the acclimatization of
foreign plants, especially hardy shrubs and
evergrens from Northern Asia, Siberia
and other cold countries, has always been
a noteworthy feature of the firm's activi-
ties. Broad leaved evergreens and hardy
Lilies particularly have received much at-
tention.

Quite recently the writer had the pleas-
ure to visit the greenhouses at Dedham
and also the nursery at the same place,
as vrell as the nurseries at Sharon, in the
company of George Cruickshank, the presi-
dent of the firm. Dedham is one of the
many pleasing suburbs of Boston, not over
three miles out. Here are situated, the

immense packing houses and the shipping
offices, the many large greenhouses, the
plantations of hardy perennial flowering
stock, Cannas and many choice shrubs
and conifers. Under the guidance of
Patrick Fordham, the able foreman, we
first inspected the greenhouses, which are
filled with all varieties of stock for cata-
log trade and for the holidays. Kentias,
Ficus, Dracaenas, Ericas and especially
several varieties of Boston ferns are pres-
ent in large blocks and show excellent cul-
ture. Many hundreds of the different va;
rieties of greenhouse Grapes, one and two
years old, and of Heliotropes, trained in
standard form, are to be seen. Crotons
and other decorative foliage plants. Gar-
denias, Asparagus Sprengeri and plumosus,
Peppers, Christmas Cherries, etc., fill
bench after bench. Geraniums, too, take
up a lot of room, always finding a great'
demand. Various seedling palms are toj
be seen by thousands, also young Azaleas',
among them a good sized lot of Kurumes.
Several houses are completely filled with
Cyclamen in different sizes. These plants
are ^ always done to perfection at FarquJ
liar's.

The many propagating houses hold lumJ
dreds of thousands of shrub and evergreen
cuttings of every kind, from the rarest tofl
the commonest. This bewildering array
of plant material is in the pink of condifl
tion, and the houses are kept scrupulously!
clean and neat. Among the young stock!
in the propagating beds we noticed For-1
sythia intermedia spectabilis, Kolwitzia -
amabilis, Euonymus radicans acutus, E.l
Kewensis and . Thunbergia Gibbsonii, a j
fine orange variety, in large numbers. All!
the leading Taxus and Junipers were alsoJ
doing well.

Notable Hardy Stock

Coming out into the open air again,!
we noticed, climbing all over the, wall at 1
the office, some -extra fine plants of Hy-B
drangea petiolaris, planted nve years ago J
and proving its great worth as a covering \
for walls. Next, between the main en-
trance and the office building, taking up
a good deal of ground, is a rock garden,
demonstrating the varied forms in which
such a garden can be laid out and what
kinds of plants might or should be used.
Dwarf conifers and broad leaved ever-
greens are freely employed in the compo-
sition of the arrangement. Along one
side of the main road to the office are
beds of the standard varieties of Cannas,
and a glorious sight they are. Several
acres of ground near the packing nouses
are taken up with beds of hardy peren-
nials, than which it may be hard to find
a more complete collection anywhere.
Frame after frame is filled with seedlings
and cuttings. Here we also find a good
sized^ batch of the new Hollyhock, which
the firm is soon to introduce to the trade.
This new and valuable plant has not yet
been named. It comes absolutely true
from seed and shows a fine habit of,
growth, sending up a number of sturdy
flower stalks at the same time. The flow-
ers are of exceptionally fine form, with a
dense, fluffy cushion and extra large, wide
and well formed guard petals. The color
of the flower is a charming, glowing rose-
pink, on the style of the Enchantress Su-
preme Carnation. This promises to be-
come one of those plants which the lover
of outdoor flowers will fall in love with
as soon as he sees it. Nearby are many
acres of the choicer conifers, and under
lath shades all the many varieties of
Rhododendrons for which the firm is
celebrated. Then there is a grand block
of most beautiful plants of Picea glauca
Albertiana conica. They stand here like
so many little dense Christmas trees, most
charming to behold, wonderfully trim and
even. This plant is absolutely hardy,
having been introduced by Professor J. G.
Jack of the Arnold Arboretum. A large
collection of all varieties of hardy Roses
is not far off.

Across the main road are about 40-1
acres of general nursery stock and ever-
green specimens, of all sizes up to the
largest for private estates and parks.
One large tract of land is given over to
Peonies, Dahlias, Irises and Lilies. Among
the latter, the neiv Regal Lily, Lilium
myriophyllum, which was introduced a
few years ago by the firm, attracts special
attention. Among Phlox, Thor, Ostaris,
R. P. Struthers, Rijnstroom, F. G. von
Lassburg, Europa, Blue Hill, Beacon and
Selma are planted in acre lots and make
a most glorious show. Japanese Irises,
also, are here in almost endless variety.

The nursery at Sharon, a few miles out,
contains some 50 acres, where deciduous
and evergreen stock is grown on in quan-
tity, and the Cape Cod nursery of about
the same extent makes more or less a
specialty of producing large leaved ever-
greens and hardy Lilies on an extensive
scale. G. Th.

This Makes Clear as Crystal

The Difference Between

Our Number One and Number Two Constructions

The Packard Company, for example, we will say, make
a two-ton truck. They also make a five-ton. The two-
ton has the Packard engine and Packard high grade
material throughout. It differs from the five-ton, only
that it can carry less.

Our Number Two Construction is for houses up to 40
feet in width. The Number One for 41 feet and up.
One is no better than the other. One is not first grade
and the other second. Each is made the best we know
how, to best meet the purpose for
which it is made.J

■BCTBSaB

It would be as ridiculous for us to now
build a 30-foot house of our Number
One Construction as for you to run
a five-ton truck when you never carried
more than two tons. The fact that
we are able to sell and erect our
Number Two for no more than the
Semi- Iron costs, is because we have

so simplified our manufacturing methods that we can
turn out the materials for the Full Iron Frame for
much less. That same simplifying applying to the
construction, makes its erection cost fully 10% below the
Semi-Iron. So what you might save on cost of materials
on the Semi-Iron, you lose because of its higher erection
costs.

We will gladly sell and build for you a Semi-Iron house,
but if for the same money you can have a Full Iron
Frame, doesn't it seem like mighty
sound sense to put your money into
the latter?

We have recently mailed to every
florist a circular of the Number Two
Construction. If your copy didn't
reach you, be sure to let us know
and we will promptly send a
duplicate.

This is the plan of the three Harvey houses. Numbers 1 and 2 are the

first houses we furnished them. Number 3 is the new one and 4 and 5,

additions made, so the group will all be the same length .

Alban Harvey &> Sons Build Another

Hitchings House

If you chanced to read a recent Ad of ours, telling of
Joseph Neus' Carnation House, you will recall that one
of the things he was particularly satisfied about, in his
dealing with us, was that the price was right, right at the
start. The first price was the last price. It was the
last price, because we gave him our last price, first.

Three years ago, Alban Harvey & Sons ordered two houses
from us for exactly the same reason. Our price remained
exactly the same from the start to the finish. It was our
best bottom price. It was the lowest price for which we
could furnish the kind of greenhouse materials these men
wanted.

Recently they concluded to build another house 336 feet
long. We gave them another first-and-last-figure. They
signed the contract, regardless of whether our price was
more or less than any other. We like to feel that they did
it because they not only have found our houses to be worth
every dollar they cost, but because they like our way of
doing business.

Over sixty years ago, the elder Mr. Hitchings established
the business on the basis of pleasant dealings and a
dollar of value for every dollar. We still believe his ideas
are the right ones to follow. If you are of the same mind,
just remember that we go anywhere for business. Or to
talk business.

The Florist and the Fuel Situation

Although the latest reports are that the anthracite coal strike has been settlea1, there seems little doubt but that production has been curtailed for
so many weeks that the situation this Winter will be anything but simple. At the same time, there appears to be some difference of opinion as to
just how serious conditions are going to be, and in an endeavor to ascertain the true facts in the matter, THE EXCHANGE has made inquiry among its
several score of .correspondents throughout the country as to, first the situation with regard to the local coal supply, and second, the possibility
of florists utilizing some type of fuel oil as a substitute for" coal. Partial results of this symposium are given herewith, the leading article being by
our Boston correspondent, "who has made a special study of oil as fuel and found conditions in New England especially favorable for its use, which
is increasing. We will be glad to hear from our readers generally on any phase of this all important heating question, especially from those who
have had any experience with oil burners and who are willing to aid their brother florists with the knowledge they have gained.

Fuel Oil and the Florist

OF ALL the perplexing questions that beset the
florist, the most persistent is, surely, the ques-
tion of an adequate fuel supply. Fuel he must
have if he wishes to carry on his business. It is not
'so much that he goes "up in the air" when the price
of fuel mounts to almost prohibitive heights, as it is
in ability to get the needed fuel at any price.

The Increasing Importance of Oil

Fortunately, coal is being replaced at a rapidly in-

Mcreasing pace by fuel oil in every department of in-

Idustry where power, light or heat is utilized. The

(application of fuel oil as an agent for the production

■of heat has triumphantly passed the experimental

Istage to the extent that, if, today, oil could not be or

■was not used in place of coal, the commerce and well-

! being of this world would be most seriously affected.

(jThe navies of every nation, the great passenger ships

Hand freighters, innumerable industrial concerns of all

■ sizes, and buildings of all descriptions are now
equipped with oil-burning devices, much to their fi-
nancial advantage, not to mention the many inrpor-

■ tant conveniences involved.

The man who has investigated the merits of fuel
[oil, as employed for the production of heat, cannot
'help being astonished in noting how little attention
Bthe average florist has paid to the question of how
Ithe use of this new fuel might affect him and be of
advantage in his business.

When one mentions oil heating to the average flo-
Irist, he will inevitably do one of two things. He will
.either get all "het up" over all the beautiful things
she expects oil will or can do for him, imagining that
■I oil is the cure-all for every ill that ever was con-
:| nec-ted with his heating system : or he will, right
i| away, tell you that oil is all right but — How do you
ij know that the supply is not going to run out in less
j than no time? Or, How do you know that the oil
I barons are not going to raise the price higher than
j that of coal as soon as there is a general demand
I for it?

A Future Oil Supply Assured

It is, perhaps, well that it is not given to man to
I look too far into the future but, for the present, he
j need not bother himself much about the oil supply,
j There is enough oil in sight for all of us as long as
j we may need it and, as to the price, that is going to
I he regulated the same as that of every commodity.
Oil has in its favor, at least, that it does not require
; much labor to procure it from the source ; that it is
I distributed so universally over the globe that labor,
strike and union questions need liot affect the get-
ting of it at all, for goodness knows how long. The
only thing that could interfere with the supply of oil
to any considerable extent would be war, say, with
Mexico. But even that would probably be of short

■ duration.

In considering the future supply possibilities it is
! interesting to note that in 1921 approximately 750,-
' 000,000 barrels came from the United States and
20u.000,000 from Mexico, yet the vast resources of the
world have hardly begun to be tapped and what is
now being used is only a small percentage of the im-
mense quantities that have yet to be brought to the
surface.

Another interesting point is the relation of fuel
oil to gasoline for which there is an ever increasing
demand. By the latest refining methods it is possible
to get only an average of 25 per cent of gasoline ;
there remains a residue of at least 50 per cent which
is now being used as fuel oil. A market must be
found for this constantly increasing supply of fuel oil
mill ilmi market will develop with, the burning of fuel
nil iimlir boilers in place of coal. On the Pacific
Coast, even npw, at, least 60 per cent of all the fuel
used is said to be nil.

Classes of Fuel Oils

Oil for heating purposes falls into two classes.
There are the light oils, which are the residuum from

petroleum distillation. These are especially adapted
for heating small boilers, such as individual heaters
in dwellings and apartments, or small industrial
units. Nothing better could be desired for these pur-
poses and there are a number of devices on the mar-
ket which burn this fuel economically and with
great convenience. But, on the other hand, the price
of this article is much higher than that of the heavy
oils, especially the Mexican oils, and therefore it is
not advisable for use in the florist establishment.

The second class consists of the heavy oils. Most
of the fuel oil used in New England comes from
Mexico where enormous quantities are carried on
hand in permanent tanks and where the supply is,
so far as known, unlimited. During the past ten
years the consumption of this fuel oil has grown in
New England from nothing to about 19.000,000 bar-
rels, the latter representing in heating value approxi-
mately the equivalent of 5,500,000 tons of coal. The
importation of crude and fuel oils into the New Eng-
land .States during recent years has been as follows :

191S 112,770,000 gallons

1919 154,377,000 gallons

1920 448,217,000 gallons

1921 730,724,000 gallons

1922 900,000,000 gallons

The estimated amount for 1922 is based on reported
receipts of 450,000,000 gallons for the first six months.
With the coal shortage and increased activities in the
oil fields, 900,000,000 gallons for the year seems con-
servative.

About 60 per cent of the total amount received is
in the form of straight fuel oil, which has been topped
at various refineries before shipment. The remaining
-10 per cent goes to the various refineries in the New
England States and is refined, 25 per cent being taken
off as gasoline and other by-products. Thus it can
be conservatively stated that from 85 per cent to 90
per cent of the oil entering the New England States
is burned under boilers as fuel oil.

On the basis of 150 to 168 gallons (or 3% to 4 bar-
rels of 42 gallons each) being equal to one ton of
coal, and taking 90 per cent of the estimated 900,000,-
000 gallons) to be imported in 1922, we have the
year's importation equal to approximately 5,500,000
tons of coal for New England alone, of which Massa-
chusetts consumes about 75 per cent or the equiva-
lent of about 4,000,000 tons of coal.

Oil Distribution in New England

Being transported to Boston, Portland, Providence,
Fall River and other cities by tank steamers, this
fuel oil is entirely independent of rail transportation
to those points. Plants located on tidewater can
receive oil in barges. Large plants inland are sup-
plied by tank cars having a capacity of 10,000 gallons
each. The delivery of oil to plants within 15 or 20
miles of fuel oil stations in various cities, is made
by motor trucks which, incidentally, proved able to
cope successfully with the unusual and trying condi-
tions during the Winter of 1919.

Fuel oil is sold under contract so that the consumer
not only has the advantage of the most dependable
fuel in use today, but is also assured a firm price for
one or two years. Experience has shown that on the
basis of the cost of fuel alone many plants have more
than paid for an oil burning installation during its
first year. There are today in New England consider-
ably more than 1000 installations of buildings and
institutions including residences and greenhouses.

The above paragraphs have dealt almost exclusive-
ly with the supply and distribution of fuel oil, but.
it should be mentioned that there are various firms in
different parts of the country that can supply and
install the necessary apparatus for burning oil fuel —
either the heavy type or the lighter furnace Oils. In
addition to consulting the advertising pages, inter-
ested florists may secure names and addresses of such
firms from The Exchange.

Changing Over to Oil

When considering the advisability of burning fuel
oil, questions naturally arise as to what changes, if
any, need be made in the boilers themselves, the

effect, if any, on insurance rates, etc. It may be
briefly stated that the boiler changes involve the re-
moval of the grates, the construction of combustion
furnaces lined with fire brick and a few other minor
alterations. Conversion back for coal burning would
be a simple matter, but experience shows that rarely,
if ever, is this done.

The work of installing oil burning equipment can
be carried on expeditiously at any season of the year
regardless of weather conditions ; in fact many plants
having only one boiler have been converted from
coal to oil in Midwinter without any inconvenience
resulting from lack of heat. The tank, piping, pumps,
etc., are all installed in advance of the actual draw-
ing of the coal fire so that everything is ready for
the final change (that is, the installation of the fire
brick in the boiler), which takes comparatively little
time.

Suggestions for the Prospective Oil Burner

The florist who contemplates the installation of oil
burning equipment should note the following advice.
First of all he must be within the regular distributing
radius of the concern which is to furnish the oil.
This means, as a rule, within 15 to 20 miles of a sup-
ply station, and on a fairly good road, over which
the heavy motor trucks are able to travel in bad
weather at any time.

Then he should, without fail, get in touch with
one of the reliable concerns furnishing the equipment.
He should not go and listen to men who may not know
more about oil than lie himself. The reliable manu-
facturing concerns will gladly give him all the infor-
mation he may need — and very likely he will need a
lot.

He should find out where he can see an oil burning
installation in operation and inspect it thoroughly.
There are many of these in every city or town and
the owners are always pleased to show the whole
thing and usually to state that they would never
think of going back to coal.

The idea, prevalent is some quarters, that even
the heavy fuel oils cannot be delivered except in
heated tank cars and on railroad sidings, is not cor-
rect. Oil is delivered 'by motor truck in the coldest
weather within 20 miles of Boston, irrespective of
weather conditions and at all times.

Today, Sept. 2, heavy fuel oil is selling in Boston
at 4 3/10c. per gallon, F.O.B. Chelsea. From 153 to
160 gallons (3% to 4 barrels of 42 gallons each) are
equal in heating power to one ton of coal. That is,
one gallon of oil is equal to 12 pounds of coal, one
pound of oil containing 1S.00O to 19.000 British ther-
mal units as against 13,000 to 14,000 in one pound
of coal.

The writer will be glad to give additional infor-
mation to anyone asking for it. G. Tii.

Reports From Other Sections

Montgomery, Ala.

We are very fortunate in this State as we are
large coal producers, the men have not been on a
strike, and the operators have voluntarily increased
the miner's salary 20 per cent effective the first of
September. The Public Service Commission of Ala-
bama has adopted the slogan of Alabama Coal for
Alabamians First. Some few of the mines have profi-
teered by shipping their coal out of the State and
getting increased prices for it and the Public Service
Commission cannot control the prices, but during
the present car shortage they can control the dis-
tribution of empties. Only mines that are fair in
their prices are being allotted cars ; in this way the
profiteering mines will he frozen out until they come
to their senses. This establishment always contracts
for its next year's supply of coal during March; this
was done last March and coal should be delivered in
July and August, but so far we have received only
one car. We are taking the matter up with the Public
Service Commission, as the operators say that we are

few days, and we have no fear whatever that we
ill be disappointed in the delivery in plenty of time.
is to oil burners we do not know of a single m-
ance in the State of Alabama where oil is used,
'here wood is plentiful and cheap, wood is used in
ieks also as sawdust. One plant in Montgomery
ses coal and sawdust mixed, with a very great sav-
fg, as sawdust can be obtained for the hauling. —
>-?'b. P.

olumbus, Ga.

There are no parties here using oil to heat their
otters. As near as I can find out the only two green-
ouses in this section are using coal. But as there
k plenty of wood in case we cannot get coal, we are
ot worrying. — W. C. C.

alamazoo, Mich.

i From inquiries I have made there seems to be no
Indue anxiety among the florists as to the coal situa
Ion in this vicinity.

No doubt this is because we all burn soft coal, and
he optimistic expressions from the Michigan Fuel
iidministrator, who says the coal crisis will be over
in 30 days, and because already coal at the mines is
uoted a't $4.25 or 25c. per ton less than Mr. Hoover's
fair price."

| Simmered down the coal situation seems to be
nore dependent on the railroads than the miners,
»nd so far as an outsider here can see the traffic
faoves along about as usual. There are no embar-
goes or difficulty in moving freight of any kind here
Is far as I can learn, and no industry has shut down
Er reduced hours of labor for want of fuel, although
t is true that no large stocks are on hand, and that
|he gas company has stopped the sale of coke for a
ime.

Prices for immediate deliveries are, of course, away
lp, $13.50 being asked for domestic lump for house-
lold purposes instead of around $9.50 last year.

astern coke is quoted at $15 per ton, a raise of
teO since Spring. Fuel for manufacturing purposes
pas no steady prices, and the coal dealers say no
t-ontract coal reaches the city. Nevertheless they
,-eport that the situation is somewhat easier than it
svas.

: In addition to this Kalamazoo is well supplied with
trunk roads, East and West and North and South,
md is within easy reach of large centers of the coal
trade. So long as freight moves we will get our
fehare of the coal at some price, and as we florists
always have plenty to worry about, one trouble more
pr less will not matter much. The local trade seems
10 expect that their dealers will be able to take care
of them when the time comes for firing — which is
iiot far off now.

I The hard coal situation is far different and no
Houbt this fuel will continue short all Winter. Oil
burners are not in evidence so far as I know and
ood is too expensive for florists.
The advantage of trading with the local coal deal-
jers, and maintaining a good line of credit with them,
has clone much to ease the situation among the trade
jhere. It has always been the practice of our trade
to secure their fuel from the home dealers, and we
:confidently look to them to take care of us. At the
beginning of the season we may have to pay a high
[price for fuel, and there is very little left over from
last year in the case of most of us. However, as be-
fore noted, we are all expecting to be doing business
'as usual right along with no part closed down for lack
iof fuel.— S. B.

U'i

Rhinebeck, N. Y.

This great center of the Violet industry is tense
with subdued excitement over the possible outcome
of the coal strike. In this immediate vicinity there
are more than 85 growers representing in all about
200 greenhouses which, it is estimated, it will take
4000 tons of coal to heat. The supply of wood in this
vicinity is almost negligible. Of course there are
plenty of forests that could be cut, but the wood
would be too green for practical purposes. As far
as your correspondent knows, no one has made any
efforts to install or investigate oil burners. — V. B.

Asheville, N. C.

The florists here have been rather fortunate. Being
a long way from the markets the dealers carry a big
stock of coal, and most of the florists buy the nut
and slack separated from the better grades. We pay
$5.50 per ton and had it put in during early Summer.
With stirring this slack from the good coal burns bet-
ter than the ordinary run of mine.

There is an oil heater in use here that burns gas
-'often from a kerosene tank under 15 to 20 pounds
pressure, using 96 per cent air. For small work, such
;is a kitchen range, laundry stove, and a heater for
an ordinary sized house it works well, and is 25 per

cent cheaper than coal at this point. The largest
size burner takes care of 750 cu. ft. of radiation in
hot water.

Bakery ovens are run by placing several coils in
each oven, and the device might serve in small green-
houses.— E. C. D.

Central Pennsylvania

FrOm a city located only about 26 miles from a
hard coal mine, it is reported that but two out of the
26 local florists (private and commercial) have their
supplies of coal for the Winter; and none of the
others have any promises from dealers as to when
or where they will be able to secure their require-
ments.

Things therefore look very blue, says one observer,
who personally thinks it will be a case of close-out or
freeze-out for at least some of the members of the
trade.

This correspondent, being one of the fortunate ones
who has a supply of fuel, has offered to put his
houses at the disposal of his brother florists, as a
place in which to store their palms or other more
valuable materials, planning to give each of his
neighbors a portion of whatever space he has avail-
able.
Lancaster, Pa.

To the best of my knowledge there are no oil burn-
ing establishments among either the florists or the
manufacturers of this city. None of our floral estab-
lishments are in a position to burn oil except as a
last resort, and our factories (of which we boast
numerically a greater variety than any city of like
size) are nearly all using electric power supplied
from our Holtwood plant in unlimited quantities and
produced by that cheapest of all powers — "water."

A canvas of the florist trade finds very little worry
over the situation as coal cars are now running to
many of them, and we are assured by dealers that
there will be no trouble in getting all the bituminous
coal we need at the ruling market price at time of
shipment. This will run somewhat higher than the
prices last Spring.

Coal is now being bought at from $4.50 to $6 at
the mines. This, of course, makes pretty expensive
fuel with freight and hauling added, but the growers
are getting used to bumps, and one more or less, does
not make any material difference.

The anthracite users will likely find their coal
pi-ices prohibitive, but the majority of them will
start the season with bituminous, and will, by the
time real cold weather turns in have mastered their
changed firing conditions. — Albert M. Here.

Pittsburgh, Pa.

In some ways it looks pretty blue for the florists
in this section regarding coal. From all I can find
out they can get all the coal they want if they will
pay the price; some have told me that they were
quoted as high as $S.50 and $10 per ton f.o.b. mine
which they cannot pay. So they are all waiting on
the Government to set the price before ordering. If
the above prices hold there will be a lot of the little
fellows that will have to close up.

Regarding oil burners there is no one in this sec-
tion who has gone into it except one man, who has
installed them in his home; at the time he made the
change he investigated the cost of installing similar
apparatus in his greenhouses, but the cost at that
lime was too high and he passed it up. He has been
using oil at home for two years now, and finds it
satisfactory, but it costs a lot more than coal to get
the same heat. — E. C. T.

York, Pa.

I have made a number of inquiries and find we
do not have any one in this section making or selling
burners for handling crude oil. All the florists are
now burning coal, 90 per cent of it bituminous, and
all of them have some on hand; we, ourselves, have
enough for the Winter.— W. F. M.
Beaumont, Tex.

I have been scouting over the city and find that
there are no oil burners on the market here, but the
power plant is using burners like those used on the
railroad. At least judging by the noise they must
be the same, although I could not get near enough
to examine them. — P. I. H

Gustave Thommen's Story of a Summer Vacation]'
in Florida by Water and Bus

The thought has been expressed 'by a contemporary
that "somebody will have a hard job preparing 'the
suitable letter 'of protest' " that the convention voted
to send to Secretary Wallace. We don't see why.
The Tariff and Legislation Committee unquestionably
represented the S. A. F. at the May 15 conference.
because it had been regularly appointed by the so-
ciety's president. That the committee's opinion of
Qu 37 did not find favor with the majority present
at Kansas City provides no ground for disputing the
standing of the chairman of that committee, and in
no way mitigates or condones the insinuation made
by the F. II. B,

"Who in thunder wants to go on a vacation to
Florida in the Summer time? Why, man, you must
be off your nut. You will be roasted to death, drowned
in the rainy season and— wow— the mosquitoes will
eat you up, if the crocodiles don't."

That's what my wife and friends told me when I
broached the subject of going South for my vacation.
Now, having been there and having safely returned,
I forgive them. I will mention at the same time that
if any man wishes to have the time of his life and to
enjoy his vacation let him take a trip to and through
Florida the Beautiful.

Why 1 Chose Summer

There were several reasons why I chose the Sum-
mer time for my outing. In the first place Summer
is the time for a vacation. What other time is there
for a florist? Second, in the Summer, traveling ex-
penses are extremely low for a trip to that rar-off
country. The trip by steamer, on sea and up the St.
John's River is delightful— as lazy a time as one
can enjoy ; the eats and sleeping accommodations are
unsurpassed; and, to tell the truth, if you wish to
keep cool and comfortable in July go to Florida At
least that was my experience as far as I went. Dur-
ing the trip the daily papers told how the poor sin-
ners in Boston and New York were roasting in a
temperature of over 90 deg. in the shade, while we
good people down in Florida were enjoying a cool
breeze day and night with the glass seldom near
the nineties. n

While the East was getting drowned every day,
according to the dispatches. I never, during my whole
trip saw a drop of rain, although from June to Sep-
tember is supposed to be the rainy season. Of course
it rains in Florida, but wherever I w-ent it ramed
either before I got there or after I left.
Skeeters, 'Gators and Snakes as I Found 'Em

No doubt there are mosquitoes in Florida, but,
somehow, they left me severely alone. The last one
that tackled me did so before I left Boston, and it
was probably the same one that got in a good bite
the minute I stepped off the boat on my return

Alligators? Oh, yes, I have seen thousands and
thousands of them, walked among them and poked
them with a stick just for fun. They sure were mon-
sters, some of them measuring up to 18ft. and weigh-
in" as I was told, half a ton. (I did not lift them
myself, but they looked it.) They are terrors and no
mistake— but they are inside a fence on the alligator
farms I did see a few wild ones, going up and down
the St. John's River and one big fellow crossed in
front of the steamer, but they did ifot mind us at all.
Although I did not meddle with any of the moon-
shine that is plentiful all over the country, I saw more
snakes in one minute than I want ever to see again—
rattlesnakes, diamondbacks and moccasins: tour or
live hundred in one pile, each sort separate and hun-
dreds waltzing around besides. These also were cap-
tive and only got busy when the attendant whacked
them with a pole to make them hiss and squirimior
myself, I admired them from a safe distance. While
riding on the bus from Jacksonville to St. Augustine
we ran over and killed a 7ft. diamond back, which
didn't have sense enough to get out of the way.

So, if you want fun and excitement just go to
Florida ; it's waiting for you there.
Realizing a Lifelong Ambition

What really took me to Florida is a story that goes
way back to when I was a little boy in Switzerland
Of course, like all little boys, I had to read blood
and thunder stories (whenever father was not watch-
in- mel. One of these was about "Osceola, the
Yemassee Chief." That wonderful epistle has both-
ered my head for the last 50 years and I simply had
to see that enchanting land, Florida, sometime be-
fore I died. So feeling rather out of sorts and run
down in consequence of a late sickness, I said to the
partner of my joys and sorrows one evening some
weeks ago, "My dear girl, I think I shall go to Flor-
ida and start tomorrow."

I shall not tell what happened next, but I went on
board the Austin Calvin the next afternoon, bound
for New York, and from that minute I began to get
well. The object of my drains was before me, and I
was on my way to the Southland.

After a restful night I arrived in wicked New York,
but wast'd iii tie time in the Godforsaken place and
soon found in; teamer, the Mohawk, for Jacksonville.
I took with me two good books on Florida, so as to
get acquainted with the country— and never opened
them until I got home again. Why should I or how
could I? I found some genial souls in less than an

New York Seed Trade

Vaughan's Seed Store, 41-43 Barclay
St., reports the arrival of its first ship-
ment of Liliurn candidum. It also has
advice from its growers that a second
shipment of 200 cases of Dutcli bulbs is
now on the way on the S. S. "New Am-
sterdam," due to arrive Sept. 8. This
will be closely followed by other ship-
ments. The demand for Callas and
French bulbs continues strong. The firm
now has cleared the docks of its French
shipments which came in on the S. S.
"Patria." This stock is now in the ware-
houses whence orders are being shipped
out direct. It reports that large num-
bers of orders for French. Dutch and
Japanese bulbs are being sent in by its
travelers. A miniature garden with a
cottage, pebbled walks, and artificial
grass, in the window is attracting much
attention. There is also reported a con-
tinued demand for Strawberry plants.
Peony roots and other nursery stocks.
It is' noted that the store is taking ad-
vantage of the dull period by painting
and decorating inside and out. The va-
cation period being over, all employees
are back and getting ready for the big
bulb season.

At F. Rynveld & Sons

Large shipments of Dutch bulbs are
now being received by F. Rynveld &
Sons, 61 Vesey St., the steamer Wes-
terdyk that arrived Sept. 4, bringing 526
cases for this firm. "The marketing of
the French crop seems to be assured,"
says Mr. Guille, "for while we originally
imported more than one-fifth of the en-
tire crop we have recently found it nec-
essary to cable our French office to re-
open our warehouses there with a view
of packing bulbs to fill later orders. We
have also imported a considerable quan-
tity of Guernsey bulbs, chiefly of the
Polyanthus type of Narcissi, Soleil d'Or,
Grand Monarque, etc., and as these bulbs
can be sold at much lower prices than
the French, our trade is buying them
liberally."

Opening of Auction Season

The Autumn auction season at the
MacNiff Horticultural Co., 196 Green-
wich St., will open on Tuesday, Sept. 19
at noon. These auctions, we understand,
will be continued at the noon hour, on
each Tuesday and Friday until the end
of the season at Christmas. At the open-
ing sale on Sept. 19. Dutch bulbs of
several kinds will be offered.

Notable Sale of Palms, etc.

What will be probably the largest sale
of palms ever offered by any greenhouse
in this city or vicinity at auction, will
take place'at David Clarke Sons' green-
houses at Kingsbridge rd. and University
ave., the Bronx, on Thursday, Sept. 14
at 11 a.m. This collection, of nearly 150
palms, already well known to many of
the florists of this city, is exceptionally
fine, the plants ranging from 4ft. to 14ft.
in height, some of them made up and
some single stems. There will also be
offered a large number of specimen plants
of Dracaenas, Araucarias, Bay Trees and
branched Rubber Plants. The city, we
understand, has condemned the property
in order to run a street straight through
the site of the greenhouses, hence the
sale which will be conducted on the
premises by the MacNiff Horticultural
Co, Robert W. MacNiff, auctioneer.
The plants will be sold without reserve,
and the sale, occurring just when the
retail flower business is opening up and
the hotels are acquiring palms for deco-
rative purposes for the Autumn and
Winter season, will, no doubt, draw a
large number of bidders.

A few of the seed stores of this city
closed on Friday night, Sept. 1, and did
not open again until Tuesday morning.
This gave the proprietors and their em-

ployees a three days' holiday — the last
before the opening of the busy season.
All the other seed stores closed at noon
on Saturday.

Carters Tested Seeds, Inc., 5 Barclay
St., reports a big August business in
grass seeds for golf courses, and also
that the sales of lawn grass seed for pri-
vate lawns and parks is opening up
strong at this time. W. E. Atwood, of
the traveling and store forces has just
returned from what he tells us was a
very enjoyable vacation in New England,
especially at Plymouth, Mass.

M. Aronowitz, proprietor of the Bar-
clay Nurseries, 62 Vesey St., has just
returned from a vacation of several
weeks at Fallsburg, Sullivan County,
N. Y.

Burnett Bros., 92 Chambers St., re-
port the arrival of their Dutch bulbs —
including a full line of Hyacinths, Tu-
lips and Narcissi, the quality of which
they say is most satisfactory.

Wm. M. Hunt, 148 Chambers St., has
just received a shipment of Lilium for-
mosum, which he is immediately reship-
ping in filling orders. This company re-
ports that its shipments of Strawberry
plants are still large. It has also re-
ceived a second shipment of French
bulbs, which are going out this week on
orders. Mr. Hunt says that on account
of the apparent settling of the coal
strike many orders from private florists
which were being held up are now com-
ing in. Harry Goldberg, vice-president
of the company, will leave on his vaca-
tion on Saturday, Sept. 9.

Chicago Seed Trade

The Fall bulb catalogs of all the Chi-
cago seed houses are now in the mails.
There is every indication that a busy
season is about to open, for which full
preparations are being made.

The A. B. C. had another of their
outings at the farms of the company at
Hazel Crest. Suuday, Sept. 3. The Glad-
ioli fields are still in their glory and
some rare varieties are to be seen. Vin-
cent Neil, who has charge of the ship-
ping department, reports the distribu-
tion of a carload of Formosum Lily bulbs
the past week.

Ben Bakker. of Hendersons Seed
Store, left Sunday night for St. Louis
and other points in the Southwest. Ben
has the reputation of being one of the
best bulb salesmen on the road ; his
friends say that when he gets into a
florist's establishment he never leaves
until he gets an order regardless of how
long the wait may be.

Vaughan's Seed Store is expecting the
first heavy shipment of Holland bulbs
the coming week. The Fall book for flo-
rists is out and returns are coming in
satisfactory. Winter flowering Sweet
Peas and Pansies are in much demand
in the wholesale seed department.

J. K. Rugowski. of Manitowoc, Wis.,
is keeping up a display of Asters at the
Boston store. He has also Gladioli,
Dahlias and Tomatoes. Orders are being
booked for future delivery of the Glad-
ioli bulbs. Seed of toe Asters are sold
to customers on the spot.

Alex. Henderson, proprietor of Hen-
derson's Seed Store, has been practicing
golf during his spare moments for the
past three years, and when invited into
the John Ziska's first annual tourna-
ment for florists at the Briargate Golf
Club the past week, the Bonny Scott
asked for suffrage because of his pre-
vious playing. "Murder will out." Hen-
derson came from St. Andrews where
golf was first introduced as a game and,
despite a heavy handicap, was an easy
winner of the silver cup.

The Florists Exchange

Chicago Seed Trade

(Continued from page 651)

Sam J. Pearce, who recently returned
from a trip to England, found war con-
ditions had left its mark on certain lines
of horticulture there as well as in Hol-
land. Certain varieties of bulbs used by
florists for forcing- are in short supply
from the fact they were too expensive
to buy by the small growers. This in
connection with the money exchange
market has prevented them from getting
new stock.

Catalogs Received

R. Nicholson Seed Co., Dallas Tex. — Possessing
colored covers depicting Darwin Tulips and Roses
with two or three inside color illustrations of
Hyacinths and Daffodils, this pleasing little cata-
log is at once attractive. A good assortment of
Holland bulbs is offered; early Tulips, however,
are ignored, presumably because they do not
sueceed in Texas. Hardy flowers, ornamental
nursery stock, including shrubs, and trees and
Roses are also a strong feature, while flower,
Vegetable seeds and farm seeds are also promi-
nently tested.

Rock's Flower Gardens, Independence, Mo. —
Devoted largely to Spring flowering bulbs, this
catalog features all kinds of Holland bulbs, beau-
tifully illustrated. In addition, Iris, Lilies, Peonies,
hardy perennials, ornamental trees and shrubs
are splendidly represented. This firm is making a
strong feature of landscape work.

The Storrs & Harrison Co., Painesville, O. —
Fall catalog of bulbs and nursery stock. A com-
prehensive collection of Holland bulbs is offered,
numerous illustrations serving to add interest.
Miscellaneous bulbs include Freesias, Callas,
Lilies, etc. Following come seeds for Fall sowing,
both flowers and vegetables. Ornamental plants
for the Winter decoration are a big feature, while
in the way of hardy stock, the garden lover has a
good choice of Roses, hardy perennials, including
Iris and Peonies; ornamental shrubs, fruit trees,
shade trees, etc. Altogether an attractive and
interesting catalog.

Gillett's Hardy Fern & Flower Farm, South-
wick, Mass. — About the best native plant cata-
log that comes our way. Edward Gillett is a
specialist, and it would be hard to find another
list featuring hardy ferns in such numbers. Thi
many illustrations give one an idea of the beauty
of hardy ferns. In hardy perennials, Gilletts have
a wonderful collection, many of them natives,
yet to many people entirely unknown. Such choice
lines as the English and Chinese hardy Primroses
are, however, featured with other subjects; indeed
one cannot but be attracted by the numerous illus-
trations which picture hardy plants of the class
not commonly cataloged. Many kinds of shrubs
and trees are enumerated also.

Sarcoxie Nurseries, Sarcoxie, Mo. — Special
bulletin, largely devoted to Peonies, grouped in
respective colors. Iris, perennials, and nursery
stock for lining out are also offered.4

John Lewis Childs, Inc., Floral Park, N. Y.—
Fall catalog, depicting various bulbs in color on.
the front cover, and various other subjects on the
inside covers and on the back. The catalog is well
llustrated throughout, half-tone cuts being used
in many instances. Tulips are an important fea-
ture, but Hyacinths and Daffodils are likewise
well handled and illustrated. As usual, all kinds
of bulbs are given attention, including Amaryllis,
Babianas, Calochortas, Brodiaes, Camassias, Callas,
Ixias, etc. Few other catalogs feature such an
infinite variety of bulbous flowering plants. In
addition. Peonies, Iris and hardy perennials are
given special prominence, many of the subjects
being illustrated in halftone. Indoor and green-
house plants are likewise prominently handled, the
concluding portion of the catalog being devoted
to flowering shrubs and fruits. Altogether, an
interesting catalog.

Sturnpp & Walter Co., New York — Not
content with the splendid advance catalog issued
in July, this firm now favors us with a complete
Fall catalog which embraces bulbs, seeds and
plants. Containing some 50 pages, with Tulips
in color on the front cover and various Daffodils
on the back, this list affords the enthusiast abundant
opportunity for making a selection. Beautifully
illustrated, although on thinner paper than the
advance list, an endless array of Holland and Eng-
lish Tulips and Narcissi is set forth; a larger selec-
tion could scarcely be found in the country. Hardy.
Lilies, Amaryllis, Fritillarias, Irises of all kinds,
baby Gladioli, Scillas, and a host of other bul-
bous subjects follow in succession, while Peonies,
Bearded Iris, seeds, including grass and farm seeds,
and sundries of all kinds all receive the maximum
attention.

Hurst & Son, 152 Houndsditch, London, Eng.
— Special advance lists of Sweet Peas and flower
novelties. The Sweet Peas offered are of the Sum-
mer flowering type, and the seed is English grown.
Among novelties is Myosotis alpestris Victoria
Ultramarine, a variety with the Victoria habit,
but deep blue in color. Cineraria hybrida multi-
flora nana is a new dwarf type producing great
compact masses of small flowers. Another novelty
is the offering of seed of the hybrid Pink known as
Allwoodii. Hitherto, seed of this new race of
Dianthus has not been offered. It is said that seed-
lings average 75 per cent double. The novelties
in Sweet Peas include several of the most notable
sorts from various raisers.

Henry F. Michel] Co., Philadelphia. — Whole-
sale catalog of bulbs and general supplies. Freely
illustrated as usual, with half-tone illustrations on
the covers, this catalog embraces a most compre-
hensive collection. All the most popular varieties
of French and Holland Bulbs are listed, while
Lilies, both hardy and for forcing, are given promi-
nence. Several varieties are shown in color.
Among the hardy varieties, we note a new ele-
gans variety named Leonard Joerg. Among other

bulbs, domestic stock, are Amaryllis, tuberous
Begonias, Gladiolus of the miniature type, Glox-
inias, Iris, Montbretias, etc. Hardy perennials,
too, are featured, as are vegetable and flower seeds
for Fall sowing. The illustration of Mushrooms
raised from Michell's bottled spawn, will doubtless
prompt many to try this new form of spawn. The
color plate showing a house of Cyclamen is highly
attractive, too, and indicates that Michell's go
after the best in florists' seeds. Primulas are also
shown in color. The sundries listed embrace
almost everything a grower or retailer requires;
few firms handle such a varied stock.

James Vick's Sons, Rochester, N. Y. — Whole-
sale bulb catalog. Special emphasis is laid on the
fact that bulbs can get along with less heat than
many subjects. All the varieties most suitable
for florists are listed, some of the subjects being
illustrated. Hardy plants and seeds for Fall sow-
ing are also featured.

Forest Nursery Co., McMinnville, Tenn. —
Descriptive catalog of all kinds of trees, shrubs
and ornamental stock. The description in all
cases is clear, and calculated to assist the private
planter. The firm specializes in native trees and
shrubs.

•^Evergreen Nurseries, Painesville, 0. — Surplus
list|of nursery stock offered to the trade. Em-
braces many conifers, deciduous and evergreen
shrubs, vines and Roses in varying sizes.

San Francisco Seed Trade

Lin W. Wheeler of the Peters-Wheel-
er Seed Co. of Gilroy, Calif., was re-
cently elected president of the Gilroy
Golf Club.

Among the visitors in town this week
were Arthur Teweles of the L. Teweles
Seed Co. of Milwaukee, Wis., and Chas.
P. Peppard of the J. G. Peppard Seed
Co. of Kansas City, Mo.

The writer has frequently been asked
as to the rates of duty on field seeds in
the impending tariff, and has made up the
following list, revised to date. It is sub-
ject to further revision from day to day,
while in conference. The tendency of
revision seems to be upward. Take for
instance, Alfalfa, originally 2c, now 4c;
Alsike, originally 3c, now 4c; Millet,
originally %c, now lc All changes so far
have been upward, without exception.
The duty, per pound, is as follows: Al-
falfa, 4c; Alsike Clover, 4c; Crimson
Clover, lc; Red Clover, 4c; White
Clover, 3c; Clover, N S. P. F., 2c;
Millet lc; Timothy, 2c; Hairy Vetch,
2c; Spring Vetch, lc All others N. S.
P. F., 2c

It will be noted that the Rye grasses,
coming under the heading "All others,
N. S. P. P." (Not specially provided
for) carry a duty of 2c per pound. On
an ad valorem basis, that would amount
to, say, 25 per cent, rather a heavy bur-
den on a cheap grass. The 3c rate on
White Clover is likely to result in a
still further advance in same. J. R. W.

Tomatoes and Cucumbers in
Great Britain

According to a circular issued by the
British Glasshouse Produce Marketing
Association, Ltd., there are over 2000
acres of glass in Great Britain and the
Channel Islands devoted to fruit and
vegetables, mostly Tomatoes and Cucum-
bers. The British output of Tomatoes
from this glass area is 150,000 long
tons.

The Cucumber output from under
glass is 120,000 flats (a fiat is a basket
containing three or four dozen). When
the Tomato advertising was proposed,
the Cucumber growers offered to assess
themselves 6c a flat if the Produce As-
sociation would consider Cucumbers in
their scheme. This added another $15,000
to the $60,000 tendered by the Tomato
growers.

That the advertising has pushed the
sales of both Tomatoes and Cucumbers
is proved by the fact, that despite the
Dutch competition, prices of English
produce has stood higher than last year
and it is estimated that the Cucumber
growers have gained many thousands of
dollars through joining forces with the
Tomato growers.

The Potato Bug Goes Abroad

The Department of Commerce reports
that the Colorado Potato bug has recently
made its appearance in France in a rural
section near Bordeaux. Within a few
days from its advent it had already done
extensive damage to the local Potato crop
— so much damage, indeed, that the mayor
urged the farmers to promptly treat their
fields with insecticides, which are being
furnished gratis by the municipality.

Prompt action by the authorities has, it
is believed, succeeded in restricting the
beetles' activities to an area of about 20
sq. kilometers.

While this insect, which is so familiar
to American growers, has been dreaded in
Europe for almost 50 years, its appear-
ances there have been few and far be-
tween. In 1877 it suddenly shot up in a
Potato field near Cologne. Heroic meas-
ures were promptly taken. The field was
sprinkled with kerosene and burned over,
after which it was plowed so deeply that
any beetles that escaped the fire were pre-
vented from reaching the surface; alter
this a heavy top dressing of quick lime
was applied. Apparently the threefold
treatment was thoroughly effective, as the
beetle has never again been reported in
Europe until now.

France is normally an exporter of Po-
tatoes, and since 1878 has prohibited the
importation of American tubers, with the
idea of preventing just such an occurrence
as has now taken place. Unless the pres-
ent infestation is quickly stamped out,
the remaining European countries will
probably put French Potatoes under the
same ban as those from America.

Week at the Capital

By CLARENCE L. LINZ

Business Basically Sound

The "inherent soundness" of the busi-
ness situation has been the outstanding
feature of the month, according to a re-
view of countrywide business and financial
conditions just issued by the Federal Re-
serve Board. This has been shown by
the continued activity at a relatively high
level, despite labor disturbances, par-
ticularly those in the coal and transpor-
tation industries, and despite the fact
that some recession is normally expected
at this season.

An optimistic outlook for Fall trade
is held by the Board, especially with the
prospect of an increased demand for cer-
tain commodities to compensate for re-
stricted output or delay in placing or-
ders owing to uncertainty. However, the
Board believes that business must neces-
sarily proceed under handicap for some
time to come as a result of the fuel short-
age and transportation difficulties.

Freight Movement Recovers

The slight slump recently occasioned in
ear loadings of freight, due to the activi-
ties of the coal and rail strikes, was but
temporary in nature, as shown by reports
of loadings for the week ending Aug. 19
recently filed by the carriers with the
American Railway Association.

Loadings of merchandise and miscella-
neous freight, which includes manufac-
tured products, totaled 555,275 cars, an
increase over the previous week of 6971,
and an increase of 62,526 cars over the
corresponding week last year.

For Better Import Mail Inspection

New and more efficient/ methods of
inspecting imports by mail are being
worked out by a committee appointed by
the Treasury and Post Office Depart-
ments. It is explained by postal officials
that the machinery for handling these
imports is not adequate in proportion to
the greatly increased receipts since the
war. At present there are only a few
cities where mail can be examined for
customs, and it is anticipated that one
of the recommendations of the commit-
tee will be to extend this list. It is feared
that a great deal of merchandise is com-
ing into the country by mail without the
payment of customs duties.

Coal Emergency Outlook

The present indications are that the
coal emergency will last at least 90 days,
and it is possible that it may extend over
six months, according to a statement made
by Secretary of Commerce Hoover last
week. Conditions are such, he declared,
that it may be necessary for the Govern-
ment, in the very near future, to set up
zones in order to perfect' the distribu-
tion of coal and assure a supply to those
districts where an immediate supply is
urgent. He feels that there is practically
no doubt but what the Winter will be
weathered safely without a complete shut-
down of industry as occurred during the
war, but unless restrictive legislation is

resorted to there is a possibility that
coal will be sold "to the highest bidders.'

There is a shortage of 35,000,000 tons I
in anthracite production, which can onlj
be made up by the substitution of bitum-
inous coal. Mr. Hoover said that from
25 to 30 million tons of coal are needed
in transit before industry can function '
continuously and properly. At the pres-
ent time only one-third of that tonnage
is in transit and with the cars in bad
order it is impossible to come anywhere
near moving sufficient coal to meet all
needs. Careful conservation must be
practiced by all lines of industry, it was
stated, if shutdowns are to be avoided.

Making Mail Returns Easier

In an effort to lessen the labor and ex-
pense entailed under present conditions
when undeliverable parcel post packages
are returned to the senders, the Post Of-
fice Department has announced that here-
after all packages marked "Return Post-
age Guaranteed'' will be returned im-
mediately to the sender and the postage
collected on delivery. The present system
is not only slow, but causes much delay
and unnecessary correspondence, as well
as extra expense. The postal laws have
for some time specified that as long as
the sender guarantees return postage the
package will be returned without pre-
payment of charges, but the matter seems
to have escaped the attention of the ma-
jority of the public, and the recent state-
ment by the department was made in an
endeavor to bring this time-saving feature
before the people of the country.

New Tulips

Generally speaking, most of the Tu-
lips listed are not by any means new ;
some of them 'were in cultivation genera-
tions ago, and this includes almost all
types.

The Darwins, however, are a com-
paratively young race, and it is since
their advent that Tulip breeding has be-
come more general, although this work
has interested fewer people than have
Daffodils. It might be expected that
Krelage & Son. who introduced the Dar-
wins, would be interested in breeding,
and not a few of the novelties that have
appeared in latter years have originated
with this Haarlem house.

Perhaps the most promising strain,
from a commercial viewpoint, is the
one possessing the build of the late
kinds with the early character of the
Due Van Thols aud other early sorts.
These new Tulips are said to force read-
ily and quite a number were certificated
in Holland early in the present year.

I am not sure whether any of these
Tulips have found their way over here,
but it was my pleasure to grow a number
of the Krelage hybrid late forms. These
not only possess the character of the
Retrofiexa type with its Lily shaped
blooms, but also an admixture of Dar-
win and Cottage types. Most of them
are vigorous growers, some yielding three
blooms about 30in. tall from one bulb,
and if my experience counts, excellent
bulbs can be harvested from them. Some
sorts besides providing a number of small
bulbs and offsets also gave bulbs as
large as those originally planted ; in fact,
equal in appearance to the best Dutch
grown. All of them flowered between
April 30 and May S. Specially good
among them were Marvel, buff edged
pink, Darwin shape ; Alaska, clear yel-
low, huge flower ; Ambrosia, rosy salmon
and orange cottage type ; Siren, rose,
Lily shaped ; Diamond, cerise, cottage
type ; Themis, creamy white, Darwin
shape, wonderful laster ; Vesta, pale yel-
low, cottage type, long lasting ; Ideal,
bright rose, cottage type ; Mentor, deep
crimson, Darwin shape, a wonderful
flower ; Adonis, deeper than Siren, same
shape ; Carrara, a pure white Darwin,
a masterpiece ; Jupiter, bright rose, Dar-
win form ; Dido, coppery orange, cot-
tage type, gigantic flower and of im-
mense vigor ; Orient, bronzy rose, cot-
tage type ; Leda, cerise, Darwin form ;
Dulcinea vermilion, cottage type ; Am-
ber, fawn pink, Darwin form ; Nectar,
crimson like a giant Gesneriana, and
Cyclops, fiery red, Darwin like.

Anyone who has the soil suited_ to
growing good Tulips, should certainly
try some of the newer varieties. Some
of them are so distinctive and vigorous,
that they will assuredly create a call
for the bulbs. W.

The Florists Exchange

Shreveport, La.

The weather continues hot in Northern
Louisiana and Eastern Texas, with little
rain. This has a somewhat depressing
effect on business. Still the florists are
picking up enough from occasional funeral
orders and weddings to take care' of
overhead expenses.

Tuberoses are in abundance, and we are
still getting pretty good outside Gladioli
from late plantings. We will continue to
get them until 'Mums come in.

From reports to hand, 'Mums in the
benches have not looked better in years,
while Carnations and Roses are also in
fine shape. The southern florists are de-
cidedly optimistic as to the coming sea-
son's business. J. W. B.

New Orleans, La.

The Market

Sept. 2. — Continued hot weather
has had a tendency to keep retail mar-
ket conditions generally quiet during the
week. With the warm weather holding
on so persistently, New Orleanians who
are fortunate enough to spend the Sum-
mer at the seashore or at the mountain
resorts — and these are the people who
buy a lot of flowers too — are stretching
their vacations a little longer, awaiting
the passing of the hot weather ; and
visitors are delaying their coming to the
city for a few days longer for the same
reason.

Florists are looking forward expec-
tantly to the coming of the ex-service
men in October when the Fourth An-
nual Convention of the American Legion
will be held the 16th to 20th inclusive.
This big national gathering is expected
to materially boost the local buying on
account of many semi-public and private
banquets, and it will boost telegraphic
orders to some extent, it is believed.
However, that late in the season retail-
ers are not worried over the business
outlook, for by that time society will
have returned to the city and entertain-
ing will be in full swing.

Prices during the week remained un-
changed generally over the week previ-
ous. Shipments of Roses, Carnations
and Gladioli are arriving in better con-
dition than they were a few days back.
The only fault to be found with the pres-
ent shipments is that the blossoms are
too open. This is especially noticeable
with the Roses. Carnations are coming
in with rather short stems, but other-
wise they are in good condition, and a
ready market is being found for them.

Frank J. Reyes Completing Improve-
ments

The shop of Frank J. Reyes &
Co. on Canal St., is taking oh an attrac-
tive apearance with the completion of
the improvements started a short time
ago. Heretofore the shop has been han-
dicapped because of lack of window dis-
play space, which has been found to be
especially important because of the
store's advantageous location on the
city's busiest thoroughfare. Now the
handicap has been overcome, to a great
extent at least, by the completion of a
new display window about 10ft. wide
and fully as deep, with all the artistic
finishing touches that go to making a
floral window attractive. The back of
the space is completed in white lattice
work and the top is latticed and screened.
Nicely finished baskets have been placed
in the window in which to display the
latest arrvals in flowers.

The rear of the display room has been
remodeled and is now finished in white
lattice work, and the display cases and
storage cases have been renovated and
rearranged for the coming Fall rush.

This shop received from Chicago dur-
ing the week its first shipment of Angelus
Roses for the season. The first lot of
200 arrived in excellent condition and
sold readily at a good price. Mr. Reyes
declares that the Angelus is hardier and
better for shipping than the Killarney.
The store also received an unusually
large shipment of Gladioli from Chicago
the last part of this week which came
in fine condition, considering the sultry
weather.

M. Cook's Son Showing Buddleias

Something that has not been seen
on the local market for some time is Bud-
dleias, a display of which is being made
at the shop of M. Cook's Son on Caron-
delet st. The stock is being grown by
the concern at their nursery on Carrol-

ton ave. and is meeting a ready demand
for funeral work, according to' Miss C.
Cook, manager of the shop ; it has in
stock some extra large Asters recently
received from Chicago.

News Notes

Max Scheinuk left this week for
Brown's Wells for a two weeks' vaca-
tion.

E. A. Farley, owner of the Gentilly
Terrace Nursery, is hurrying to comple-
tion the work on his new greenhouses
and potting sheds and other improve-
ments around his large nursery which
were begun sometime ago.

U. J. Virgin, Jr., has just returned
from a two weeks' trip to Jackson, Miss.,
and other nearby towns.

Ant Poison Distribution Starts

Monday morning at 7 a.m. is set
as the "zero hour" for the actual be-
ginning of the distribution of poison for
the eradication of the Argentine ant in
New Orleans. For four weeks a drive
for $40,000 to finance the campaign has
been on. The money has been secured,
and Monday morning will find 11 big
motor trucks loaded with the deadly food
for the ants moving out from the chem-
ical laboratories of E. R. Barber to the
various supply bases from which the field
crews will carry out the actual job of
placing the innocent and attractive look-
ing tin cans that are to spell the annihila-
tion of the greatest enemy to plant life
in the South.

The work will be rushed without a
pause until the job is finished. It will
take about six weeks to accomplish the
destruction of the ants in every part of
the city. With the coming of cold weath-
er, it is expected that there will not be
a live member of the pest left to scam-
per to its Winter hiding place.

Taking a tip from the success of the
campaign in New Orleans, more than a
hundred other towns throughout the
southern section are carrying out, or are
making preparations for, like drives.

Old Square to Be Botanical Treasure

Jackson Square, one of the sights
of the old French Quarter, is soon to
become one of the finest botanical gar-
dens to be found anywhere, in the coun-
try, according to recently announced
plans of Dr. Margaret E. Cross, acting
curator of the Louisiana State Museum
and director of the educational depart-
ment.

The Square is already a beauty spot,
so far as flowers and shrubbery are con-
cerned, but when the new plans are per-
fected it will be not only a place pleas-
ing to the eye and the sense of smell,
but an educational institution as well.
Rare trees and plants of every descrip-
tion will be planted there, with the help
of which classes will be instructed in
botanical subjects.

It is also planned that as soon as the
reformation of the Square is brought
about, a move will be made to have the
unsightly warehouses which stand be-
tween the park and the river torn down
so that passengers on steamships coming
into the harbor will be given a view of
the gardens. Thus that "first impression"
of the city will be greatly improved.

Houma Fights Tree Pest

A campaign is under way for elim-
inating the citrus canker in Terrebonne
parish, near here. Under the direction
of representatives of the State Depart-
ment of Agriculture workmen are cut-
ting out all the infested trees, and when
the campaign is over it is expected that
the disease will be under control.

Heat Now, But Little Coal

September has started out hot and
dry, but as this is the usual condition at
this season we take it with good grace
and simply wait for the much needed
rain.

Notwithstanding the heat some grow-
ers in this section are in deep thought
concerning the coal situation, as a few
of them are entirely without fuel and
although there are vague promises of a
forthcoming supply, there is enough un-
certainty to cause concern. Other fuels
than coal are being considered but so
far, a satisfactory substitute has not
been found. A clever burlesque on the
coal situation was noted in the show win-

dows of the Joy Floral Co. in the Ar-
cade, where nine vases of Lycopodiurp
with a sprinkle of coal arranged in bou-
quet form, was on display. It is need-
less to say that it attracted attention
and on being asked the name of the flow-
ers, one of the ladies at the store brightly
answered (Coal-ens).

Mr. Harrison Leaves Joy's

Cliff Harrison, who has been man-
ager of the Atlanta branch of the Joy
Floral Co., since its inauguration has
resigned to take up other work at his
Nashville home, details of which will be
available later. Mr. Harrison has en-
deared himself to the Atlanta florists and
his absence will be greatly felt. His
genial disposition and his readiness to co-
operate made him extremely popular.
We all join in wishing him success in
his new undertaking.

B. G. Brown has been sent from the
"Joy" headquarters in Nashville, to take
up the work where Mr. Harrison left off.
The "Joy" store at 548 Peachtree St.,
has undergone extensive changes and is
now ready for the usual Fall rush. The
Joy window is prettily decorated in rus-
tic style with an "Old Mill," pond, ducks,
fish and everything which reminds one of
the country. Standing near, hearing the
running water, and catching the odor of
the Pines, one could easily imagine him-
self in the mountains of North Georgia.
E. G. Carswell is the artist and is to
be complimented on his realistic repro-
duction.

James Duke, with Wachendorff Bros.,
has returned from a motor trip to Grif-
fin, Ga., where he spent the week.

N. M. Yeager, with the same firm, is
traveling in his Chevrolet to Cullman,
Ala., where he will spend a week.

"Gresham the Florist," has completed
plans for extensive alterations to his
store and work will start -when he re-
turns from Lakemont, where he is rest-
ing and inhaling the ozone of the North
Georgia mountains.

Claude Byfield, with the same firm will
go on a fishing trip on Mr. Gresham's
return and we are hoping that he will
catch some big ones.

The regular monthly meeing of the Flo-
rists Club is held on the first Monday
of each month, but as this fell on Labor
Day the September event was postponed
until Wednesday, Sept. 6 B. W. S.

Washington, D. C.

A Dahlia Show

The Florists' Club of Washington
is planning to hold a Dahlia Show this
month. The tentative plans were made
last week at a preliminary meeting at-
tended by William F. Guile, George C.
Shaffer, Z. D. Blackistone, and O. A. C.
Oehmler, president of the Club. The local
growers have greatly improved their
Dahlia collections and an opportunity is
to be given to the public to view the
newer varieties. The growers will make
the general cut flower displays, while the
retailers will exhibit baskets^ center-
pieces, and other designs showing what
can be done with Dahlias in a decorative
way. In all probability the exhibit will
be held at the Gavel Club, 719 13th St.,
N. W., at which place the Florists Club
now has its headquarters. The date ten-
tatively set, is the last Monday in Sep-
tember. No decision has been made as
to whether out of town florists will be in-
vited or permitted to make displays or
whether it will be held strictly to exhi-
bitions by local growers. However, in-
vitations will be extended to florists and
growers, whether members of the club
or not to visit the exhibition. The show
will be open also to the general public
during the day. No admission fee will
be charged, and the club will meet all ex-
penses incident to the holding of the ex-
hibition.

Gude Bros. Co., despite the fear that
there will be a terrible fuel shortage this
year, is putting in a new 200 H. P.
Scotch Boiler at the northeast greenhouse
as an auxiliary plant. Mr. .Gude says that
there is no real need for the boiler at
the present time, but it is being put in
for safety's sake in order that they may
have plenty of protection if needed this
Winter.

George C. Shaffer, his son Clarence, and
his brother, Arthur Shaffer, were mem-
bers of a party of a dozen who, in three
automobiles, went over the road to At-
lantic City for a Labor Day vacation.

Baltimore, Md.

The Market

All the wholesale, men seem pleased
that September has arrived; last week
business showed quite an improvement
over the preceding one and there was a
fair cleanup each day. Gladioli are not
so plentiful, but enough for all demand.
Dahlias are arriving in much larger quan-
tities and the long stem fancy varieties
realize a good price; heavy shipments are
looked for next week as the nights have
turned cool; real Dahlia weather has
arrived. Roses are in considerable sup-,
ply and some excellent stock from new
plants is noticed. Very few Carnations
are arriving. The local supply of _ Easter;
Lilies is not heavy but quantities arei
coming from Philadelphia. The supply
of miscellaneous flowers is about as last1
week, and the general market has the up-
ward trend.

Hailstorm Damage

A terrific hailstorm which played
havoc and destruction to all greenhouses]
in its path, visited the northeastern sub-;
urbs of Baltimore on Thursday afternoon.!
The storm seemed to center in the vi-'
cinity of Raspeburg, but Hamilton and1
Lauraville were also badly hit. Most of I
the glass in the houses was a total wreck,!
but we are happy to report, the potl
plants and growing stock in almost every
instance, were not injured to any great-
extent. The loss in glass was great, how-
ever, and damage to the amount of thou-
sands of dollars was the result.

Repair work was started early Friday
with all the extra help obtainable. The
shortage of some sizes of glass has re-
tarded the work to some extent, but the
men are clearing the bars of splintered
glass and making ready for immediate
replacement upon arrival of the consign-
ments.

The estimated loss to the following firms
is: Charles Hochstedt, $3000; John P.
Willheim, $2500; F. E. Schwartz, about
$500; Mrs. John A. Nuth Greenhouses,
rented by Kress Boys, $600; John H.
Kilian's houses were badly damaged but
an estimate of his loss could not be ob-
tained.

Club Meeting

The next regular meeting of the
club will be held in the Royal Arcanum
Building, Sept. 11 at 8 p.m. It is of
vital importance that all members be
in attendance. At this meeting the offi-
cers for the ensuing year will be nomi-
nated. The election will be in October.
The insurance feature so long in force,
will be discussed and readjusted.

News Notes

The exhibits in Horticultural Hall
at the State Fair this week by far ex-
ceed any display made in former years.
The firms and workers contributing to
the show, deserve much credit for the
elaborate stagings.

Wm. F. Ekas and Robert L. Graham,
Jr., collected the material and arranged
the F. T. D. exhibit at the State Fair,
opening on Monday at Timonium.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Graham left on
Tuesday for Atlantic City, expecting to
remain for two weeks.

S. C. Cobey of Fredericksburg, Va.,
was a visitor on Monday.

Wm. F. Ekas suffered a severe shake-
up and some bruises when a heavy truck
collided with his small car on Frederick
ave., just after he left home Sunday morn-
ing. Mr. Ekas was on his way to the
fairgrounds when the accident happened.

Glick and Guerth are making im-
provements to their St. Paul st. property,
removing the partitions to make _ one
large salesroom and adding an "addition
on the rear.

Chas. M. Wagner will leave on Sunday
night to attend the annual meeting of
the National Association of Gardeners in
Boston, opening Sept. 12.

Mr. and Mrs. John J. Perry arrived
home Monday night after a most delight-
ful visit to Boston.

Henry Eichholz of Waynesboro, Pa.,
was in town for a couple of days last
week.

The many friends of Wm. E. McKis-
sick will be happy to know that he will
open up for business at 7 West Center
st. in the very near future. R. H.

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

A Well Planned Convention

Our fellow florists across the border
have a great reputation for doing things
and anyone who has perused the report of
the recent convention of the Canadian
Florists and Gardeners Association will
be ready to admit that it was a wonder-
fully well planned affair. Programs are
not always easily carried out in full, es-
pecially as they may apply to the social
side. Am inclined to remark on this,
because it would appear that the 25th an-
niversary drive as planned was actually
carried through. This drive took in all
the leading sights of Montreal and, as
some 40 autos were under requisition it
is easy to realize that the committee who
planned this drive and the pilot who con-
«jC te<L e crowd, must indeed have
doped things out to1 a nicety. The pro-
gram for this drive is before me and it
is cut to extreme fineness. For instance
the start is 10 a.m.; the route is given in
detail. At 10.05, Westmount Park with
all the items of interest on the road men-
tioned; 10.08, under the C. P R • 10 15
cross Lachine Canal; 10.25, 10.42! 1048'
11.00; (stop for drinks here) and so it
runs on until 7.30 p.m. brings the party
back tor the closing business session,
livery car numbered and every person
relegated a certain car and, by all ac-
counts, the drive was carried through
with no alterations or mishaps, proof that
the Canadian florists are a steady bunch
even though they are not denied the cup
that is said to cheer. Some day the S A

j u wiU hold its court in Can-

ada; then we may surely expect something
unusual. s

Perversity or mistaken notions have
led many Dahlia people to speak of the
French Collarette Dahlias as Collarette
lhere is no reason whatever for using
the latter term ; Collarette is the orig-
inal French term and that it should re-
main. According to one authority Col-
larette is inelegant, vulgar, illiterate and
incorrect. Good Americans don't want to
be that.

A Bloomer

It is not often my better half can give
me the razz," but I had to confess I
was truly "woolgathering" when I re-
ferred to Ascot as the home of the Derby
races when commenting on the use of
■KaJniia latifolia at Ascot. I guess I
shall hear lots more about it.

Do the Entomologists Like It?

<-uF/??1 time to time ft has been declared
tnat the appearance of some pest has done
agriculture or horticulture a service bv
compelling the dilatory to adopt improved
methods of culture or a change of crops.
Ibis is a fact as it relates to the boll
weevil m Alabama. This State was, at
one time largely devoted to Cotton which
presumably was not exactly profitable, be-
cause there are not a few other Cotton
producing areas that the world can draw
upon. The boll weevil gave the growers
a jolt and, as a result, switched them on
to agriculture proper and it is said that
Alabama progress in this direction in re-
cent years has been truly marvelous.

to show that they appreciate their
good fortune and that thev bear no
grudge against the boll weevil, "they erect-
ed m the city of Enterprise a marble
statue costing $10,000. In Montgomery
County Ala., the milk products alone ex-
ceed the value of the cotton by 300 per
cent. Not many years ago Cotton alone
was marketed According to Roger Bab-
son the well known statistician, Alabama
is the coming State. It looks like Cali-
iornia will have to go some, for with
*„T^ma'- Georgia, Texas, North Carolina
?£. rt lo"di; ,wak"ig up to their possibili-
ties the Golden State will have plenty of
competition, m semi-tropical fruits and
other crops. Georgia, by the way, is
able to claim eight of the nine climatic
zones in which the United States is
cliA ided, permitting a wonderful variety of
crops.

Is Mignonette Antagonistic?

Fritz Bahr refers to the usefulness of
-Mignonette for mixing with other flowers
and I assume that he does not find it so'
But it has long been a theory that Migno-
nette resents being mixed with other cut

flowers, either causing the other flowers
to droop or going off itself. I have cer-
tainly seen instances at small country
shows that seemed to bear out the theory
but amazingly enough, my natural curi-
osity was never piqued, due perhaps to
the fact that I have never seen enough in
this sweet scented flower to make it worth
while to cultivate. I fear when it cornea
to scent versus color, the latter wins every
time.

That Soil Pile

F. B. never spoke sounder sense than
when he declaimed against piling great
bulks of soil that cannot be used inside
the first year or so. When it is remem-
bered that the whole fertility of soil de-
pends upon bacteria and that the most
beneficial and active work is within 18in.
of the surface it is easy to realize that
long storage in stacks, perhaps 6ft. or
more high means the destruction or the
migration of those near the bottom; bac-
teria must have air. I had experience
with long stacked soil on one occasion
with Cyclamen; the plants were very
slow in the early stages and at no time
developed as they usually did. At first
we blamed the leaf mold, but after a sec-
ond season we came to the conclusion
that the bulk of stacked loam was inert
and incapable of supporting or encour-
aging rapid growth until it had recuper-
ated through exposure.

Drainage Holes in Pots

One of the speakers at the Canadian
Convention, I observe, urged the use of
holes at the side close to the base rather
than the usual one at the bottom. This
custom has more or less been general with
large sized, pots, but not with sizes under
12in. One English made pot, however,
gets around this theory of air at the base
by making a groove across the bottom.
This groove permits an air current direct
through the drainage hole.

Regular Showers

New Orleans, I note, reports midday
showers which cause some inconvenience
to those who want to eat. We in and
around New York had something of the
same kind during the first week of
August and latter part of July, but the
showers came in the evening, just about
the time when commuters were arriving
home. If the rain didn't catch them, it
sure prevented any activity in the garden
and, as the showers were of the deluge
order, lasting anywhere between 15 min-
utes and an hour with thunder and light-
ning at lib, things were decidedly fierce.
Much of my garden soil floated down the
hill, weeds grew apace and the soil be-
came like the roadway. Since the show-
ers ceased the temperature has gone away
up, and the ground has become set that
a pickaxe rather than a hoe is needed to
get it in working order.

Some Office Force

Judging by the P«an of Protest and
other stuff that has appeared in the
F. E. of late, somebody is badly in need
of a tonic to cool his fevered brow. That
Ad man for instance, is certainly well on
the road toward dislocating the smooth
working of this paper if all one reads is
not exaggeration. Judging by what I've
seen of him, he is in need of more exer-
cise than the mere running into the in-

Seattle way and let that Ad man do
some work for once.

The Gladiolus Flood

Considering the fact that every flower
selling center has had a surfeit of Gla-
diolus this season, what is likely to hap-
pen in the future? It looks to me that
the bona fide Gladiolus growers have over-
done things by encouraging all and sun-
dry to plant Gladioli in quantity. Every
Tom, Dick and Hairy has gotten the no-
tion that Gladiolus growing is a gold mine
either from a cut flower or bulb point of
view. It looks as if we have more than
reached the limit as regards cut bloom,
What is going to happen when everyone
starts unloading bulbs? I can imagine
some of those, farmer folk who have been
stung on the cut bloom proposition will
want to realize on their bulbs.

Sowing Perennials

Sometimes I wonder whether those who
advocate sowing seed of these in late

Summer and Fall really believe that good
comes of it unless the seed happens to be
of the current harvest. My experience
with some of these subjects, particularly
Delphiniums, Aquilegias and the various
hardy Primroses, is that nothing much
happens. The seed of many perennial
subjects dislikes high temperatures and
in some cases demands freezing before it
will germinate.

The raising of really good class peren-
nials is not always so easy, and August
sowings of Delphiniums, Hollyhocks, Can-
terbury Bells, etc., doesn't always mean
big blooming plants the next year, not by
a long chalk. Sow a really choice strain
of Polyanthus in a frame in May and
try and figure how many plants will "bloom
the following year. Not many, especially
when the Summer is warm. As for the
other hardy Primroses, one is lucky if
they all appear inside twelve months.

Air Circulation

The Heating and Ventilating Magazine
for August contains an article relating to
experiments carried on in England to de-
termine what connection atmospheric
conditions have upon human fatigue. By
means of an instrument called the kata-
thermometer, much information has been
gathered. To the ordinary layman, the
scientific data yields no enlightenment,
but it would seem that a socalled vitiated
atmosphere, even if one or two per cent
of carbon dioxide is present is not harm-
ful providing the air is kept in motion.

If such is the case with human beings
what relation does it have to the health
of plants Does it mean that we may
cut off ventilation and reduce the tem-
perature by means of fans, thereby retain-
ing the carbon dioxide which plants ap-
pear to absorb. Looks to me as if the
scientific people could delve into this
subject to some purpose.

Improving the Natives

The Horticultural Advertiser comments
on our recent reference to the work done
by a New York grower with the Elder.
Our contemporary says: "We do not envy
the grower his success, as with such a
sickly fruit, the less raised the better.
The Elder is a curse in our rural dis-
tricts, and we hope no one will start in-
creasing it here." I need only remark
that if friend H. A. had his port and oth-
er tonics cut off and he saw what some
people make with Elderberries, he might
change his views. Of course, I'm no
judge; I prefer a lemon soda.

Things Are Getting Fierce

There seems to be an awful lot of
people determined, to use the modern
method of accenting the "i" in Gladio-
lus instead of the old way, but what
queers me is the persistent use of the
plural Gladioli even when referring to one
individual flower. And I thought it ex-
tremely tough when in the Gladiolus Bul-
letin I read that the New England Gla-
dioli Society was holding its annual ex-
hibition at Boston. Perhaps the Ameri-
can Roses Society, the Sweet Peas So-
ciety and the Carnations Society would
sound correct, too.

The Ship's Gardener

The fact that two or three of the great
transatlantic liners have a greenhouse
about is generally well known and, ac-
cording to a press clipping, the man in
charge of this department is favored with
the official title of "ship's gardener." A
passenger is reported to have observed an
officer wearing a decoration unknown to
him. and he therefore asked what the in-
signia indicated. The reply was "ship's
gardener." If this job carries with it
the perquisites of the purser or head
steward, here's a fellow open to an offer.

Funkias or Hostas

A writer recently commented on the
poor success of what is known to many
as Funkia subcordata grandiflora as a
market flower, because the blooms are
not lasting.

In the garden or in the show ground
this plant will keep up a display for a
long period ; usually two flowers daily
replace the two that wither. But what
interests me even more is why the bota-
nists cannot agree to leave this genus
of plants alone. I never realized what
an eruption had been going on until I
compared Bailey with Johnson. We may
certainly credit Bailey with knowledge,
but we must also acknowledge that

Hemsley of Kew and Eraser, two of the
cleverest botanists in Great Britain,
who recently revised Johnson's Diction-
ary, have some power behind them. Leav-
ing aside the various other species, con-
sider the one under notice. Presumably
Funkia subcordata was the original
name when it first reached Europe in
1790, the name being after Funk, the
German botanist. Then somehow it be-
came Funkia liliiflora, F. alba, F. japon-
ica as well as Hemerocallis alba, H.
eordata, H. subcordata, and H. japon-
ica. But not content with this ringing
of the changes, on the authority of
Bailey, the family of Funkias is wiped
out and some are relegated to Hemero-
callis and the remainder become Hosta
and, under the latter heading, comes the
subject of this note. Not only does the
generic name change, but the specific
title of subcordata becomes plantaginea.

Oddly enough, Johnston's Hosta is en-;
tirely a distinct family, belonging to the
Verbena order. This small group of ten-
der evergreen shrubs, however, fell foul
of somebody, for Johnson refers the
reader to Cornutia also, this name being
taken from Cornutus, a French doctor.
Bailey, however, has no use for this fam-
ily apparently ; it doesn't count, but as
stated, the name of the Germant botanist,
Host, is tacked on in the form of Hosta
to some of the Hemerocallis and Fun-
kias of older days.

Aye, aye, sir, its a tough job to keep
up with botanists.

Daffodil Prices

Curiosity prompted me to compare
the bulb offerings ill the British trade
papers. As might be expected, there is
a difference betweeu, say a New York
importer's rates and those of a London
house, but I was scarcely expecting to
find a big English grower offering his
own Lincoln grown Daffodil and Tulip
bulbs at lower rates than the imported
stock is offered by a regular wholesaler.
For instance, English double nosed Em-
peror can be bought at 90/ (about $22)
per 1000 against imported at $30. while
Farncombe Sanders Tulip, 14-16 em.,
is $20 per 1000 against $25 for im-
ported. Looks as if the English grower
is getting after business and had big
stocks.

Fighting Eelworm

As has been recorded in The Exchange
the nematode pest is a serious one in the
South; it makes it difficult to raise seed-
lings unless the soil is sterilized. The Ex-
periment Station at Gainesville, Fla., of-
fers advice on the subject and recom-
mends cyanide of soda and sulphate of
ammonia in conjunction. The method of
application is fairly easy for beds or
greenhouses that can be flooded, but when
acres are talked of, it's a problem of no
mean size. We are told that for an acre,
600 lbs. of cyanide is dissolved in water
and poured on the ground. The irriga-
tion is turned on and the soil soaked to
a depth of 18in. Then sulphate of am-
monia, 9001bs. for one acre is dissolved
in water and applied. The ammonia and
cyanide react and generate hydrocyanic
gas which' kills the eelworm, particularly
if the ground be covered with roofing
sheets or some such material. Looks to
me as if cultivating an acre of land means
hard work in some parts of the South.
Any attempt to grow bulbs in infested
areas would be futile.

My Garden

Hollyhocks, all straight and tall,
Nod above the garden wall;
Bachelors' Buttons, prim and neat,
Make a border at their feet;
Pansies, looking grave and wise,
Gaze about with steadfast eyes;
Columbine and Peonies
Yield their honey to the bees;
Nasturtiums, like circus clowns
Dance about in gaudy gowns;
Morning Glories, one by one,
Wake to greet the rising sun —

Alas, the sun will never shine
On this flowery close of mine,
For the plants that grace each nook
Are pictured in a seedsman's book.

— H. E. M.

Prepared Hyacinths

For Early Forcing

There is always considerable loss in
forcing Narcissus Trumpet Major, Golden
Spur or Dutch Hyacinths when flowers
are wanted around Christmas. This is
particularly true when the small grower
attempts it. To my mind, he is far better
off to leave that to the specialist, and
when he has an order to fill for such cut
flowers to buy his requirements from the
wholesaler. Of late years, however, the
Hollanders have been quite successful
with digging certain varieties of Hya-
cinths, also Narcissi, early in the season,
and by proper handling after being dug
get the bulbs into shape so they are
adapted for early forcing. By planting
these bulbs as soon as they arrive, and
not forcing them too severely, a far

Greater percentage of perfect flowers can
e obtained than used to be the case. You
may not want to go heavily into forcing
these prepared bulbs, but I think it pays
for the retail grower to handle at least
a few. If potted at once they should be
thoroughly rooted by the end of Novem-
ber, ready to be brought into heat and
treated like you would other bulb stock
for forcing.

Roman Hyacinths

For Christmas Flowering

I doubt whether there is much money
in forcing Roman Hyacinths for cut flow-
ers, when one has to pay a high price for
small bulbs. You can hardly realize
enough out of them to make it worth
while, but it will pay every retail grower
to have a good sized batch come into
flower for Christmas week, to be used
for made up dishes, pans and also for
plant arangements in baskets. You can,
with the help of small Peppers or Christ-
mas Cherries, Chatelaine or small Cincin-
nati Begonias, Chinese Primulas, small
table ferns or Asparagus plumosus, make
ap some most attractive little baskets,
which will sell as well as anything you
have on display for Christmas, and which
will yield a good margin of profit. Plant
the bulbs as soon as you can get them
into flats, about one inch apart, the tops
of the bulbs just below the surface.
Place the flats in a frame and shade to
keep the soil moist. Bring in about the
end of October to a 50 deg. house; they
will come in nicely, but can be hastened
with more heat if too slow.

Achilleas

The Pearl and Millif olium roseum

You can grow Achilleas from seed, both
the double white as well as A. millifolium
roseum, but with the white one in particu-
lar you are apt to find a lot of single
forms which are worthless. A better way
is to divide the field clumps at this time
and replant your bed. This is much better
than leaving the old plants where they
are; they will flower again nest Summer,
but are not to be compared in quality
with the young stock. In case you haven't
any good strain of your own, purchase
some field grown plants now. If of good
size you may just as well divide them;
even the smallest division will grow into
good plants. No matter how many dif-
ferent perennials you may grow to cut
from, a good stock of Achilleas should al-
ways be among them, for it is a valuable
cut flower. Pink Achilleas are also most
desirable and best propagated by division.
Cut the flower heads on long stems just
when opening, and they will last for days
in water and retain their beautiful deep
rose-pink color. Their deep green, feathery
foliage is also attractive. Every florist
retailing his flowers should have a small
batch of plants on his own grounds; they
surely come in handy during Summer.

Hardy Asters

Michaelmas Daisies

With each year the number of fine
hardy Asters is increasing, and we soon
will have flowers to cut from August until
October. It will pay the florist to get

better acquainted with them, for with
their graceful stems loaded with small,
Daisy shaped flowers, of many shades of
mauve, heliotrope, white and blue, they
make excellent decorative cut flowers with
fine keeping qualities. Most of us are just
in need of flowers of that type, and the
colors form quite a contrast to what we
have in flower now among the perennials.
They are equally useful when displayed
in vases by themselves or when arranged
in conjunction with Dahlias, Asters,
Gladioli or, for that matter, almost any-
thing. In most sections these hardy As-
ters over-winter without protection, and
you can increase your stock by division.
It isn't enough that you carry the well
known blue or white Climax; while among
the best, there are many other fine sorts.
While fine for cutting, to behold them at
their best they should be planted in large
groups or masses.

the field stock. Bring the pots right to
the field, as well as the soil you want to
use, and do the potting as the plants are
lifted. While you don t want larger pots
than necessary, try to have as much soil
clinging to the roots as you can. After
potting, water well and bring the plants
to a eoldframe, and shade a little. With
proper care you will find in a month you
will have all the leaves on the plants, and
all kinds of new roots in the pots. Of
course, such stock will force easier and
bring better flower heads than plants lift-
ed in a month from now and brought with
naked roots to the potting shed, to be
potted a week or so later.

territory and grows easily. It is by
no means hard to cultivate. In fact, it
is quite generally sold by nurserymen
and cultivated by gardeners, amateur
and professional. Doubtless the best
way for the gardener to come by a stock
of this fern is to buy it of some good
nurseryman, but it can be successfully
collected from the woods by anyone who
has any gift for handling plants. The
best time to collect plants is late Sum-
mer, perhaps in September. It prefers
shady locations with moist but well
drained soil.

A. D. Taylor in his "Complete Gar-
den" recommends the Maidenhair fern
for three types of planting, viz., "for
undergrowth planting in wooded areas,"
"for ground cover" and "for naturalizing
in wild gardens." To this we would add
that it is valuable to grow for cutting,
as it fits delightfully into many kinds
of bouquets, and is not bad by itself
cut in large masses. It can also be
grown in pots, though not to so good
effect as in the open.

Feank A. Waugh.

[A truly delightful fern, though not,
we fear, so commonly grown as it, along
with many other hardy ferns, deserves
to be, both by the florist grower and the
amateur. Hardy ferns are much more
prized in Europe and all the American
species as well as native forms are to be
found in well kept gardens.

We have not seen A. pedatum growing
wild in our home section, but planted
at the base of a rock bank, it has done
well this season, despite the full South-
western exposure. — Ed.]

Adiantum pedatum, Maidenhair fern. See text.

Narcissus Golden Spur

One of the Best for the Florist

Golden Spur will not only force easily,
but is one of the best of all the Narcissi
the florist handles. Its golden yellow, fair
sized flower and good stem have made it
a favorite for many years past. There
are few things more important to the
retail grower than to plant between now
and the end of October enough bulbs so
as to make it possible to have flowers
to cut from and plants to sell in pans
from January on up to Easter. Don't
plant into flats holding 100 or more
double nosed bulbs; those large eno-.:gh
for about 30 or 36 bulbs are easier han-
dled, and most likely will give you a
higher X'ercenta.ze of perfect flowers. Giv-
ing the bulbs plenty of space will make
it possible to lift them if necessary, for
filling pans when coming into flower.
Plant from now on; place the flats out-
doors, and after a thorough watering
cover with loin, of soil. Always see to it
that the soil in the flats is moist. You
can bring the first flats in during Decem-
ber. Don't force too hard; it will mean
more money for you in the returns per
flat.

on home grounds in bloom during the
Summer months. Few plants are more
showy and decorative on the lawn, ter-
race or on either side of the entrance of
a residence. Quite a few of the beautiful
French varieties we think so much of
around Easter are well adapted for that
purpose, but few equal our old friend
Otaksa, which, whether in the pink or
blue, is still one of the best. For Sum-
mer flowering, field or pot grown plants
should be kept as near dormant as pos-
sible, just so the end buds don't suffer.
In bringing such plants slowly into growth,
they will be in bud and bloom by July.
Those who want plants to sell next Sum-
mer, cannot do better than place their
orders now for stock to be delivered this
Fall. Three 7in. plants will fill a 14in.
butter tub. The plants can be carried
during the Winter in a deep eoldframe
or other place just a little above freezing;
if necessary in a cool cellar. You can
either pot the plants up into the same
sized pots they came out of or plant into
the tubs. It may seem a long time to
next year, nevertheless not too soon to
make preparations.

Hydrangeas

Field and Pot Grown Plants

While pot culture of Hydrangeas dur-
ing the Summer months is best for the
plants intended for forcing, here, as with
anything else, one has to have a lot of

¥lants in order to make it worth while,
he smaller florist usually plants his small
stock out into the field and lifts in Fall.
But a mistake usually made is to wait
until the middle or end of October with
this operation; by so doing, the plants
have little chance to become re-estab-
lished. Right now is the best time to lift

Hardy Maidenhair Fern

The hardy Maidenhair fern, Adian-
tum pedatum, gets a lot of popular at-
tention, probably largely because of its
name. Even Summer Squash might be
famous if it had been called School-
ma'ams' Kisses or something of that
sort. But the Maidenhair fern undeni-
ably has intrinsic merits which would
make it acceptable in any company and
under any title. Its delicacy and refine-
ment justify both its popularity and its
name.

Yet with all its modesty and delicacy,
it is hardy, spreads freely in its own

Albany, N. Y.

Club Outing

The greatest item of Summer time
interest in this locality was the recent
clam bake of the Albany Florists Club
held in accordance with time honored cus-
tom at Henkes Brothers grove. An un-
usually large and hungry gathering ap-
peared to grace the festal board which
groaned under the weight of the tradi-
tional clams, chicken, sweet Corn, sweet
and white Potatoes, etc., etc., ad infini-
tum. The Latin refers to the clams, of
course. John Haggerty was the official
clam opener and none of the fair sex: can
complain of Jack's gallantry in this di-
rection. Pete Henkes is unsurpassed as
a dispenser of liquid refreshments and no
thirst was allowed to depart unslaked.

Upon our arrival at the grounds, we
were immediately conducted to the
oasis where we were informed in solemn
tones that the ample kegs contained
something "good" and speculation became
rife as to where Fred got it. In color
and effervesence the article' possessed
much merit, but alas, we must weep when
we hark back to that dreadful day, ages
ago in the retrospect, when all clam
bakes for all time to come, were so ruth-
lessly despoiled.

Before serving the bake, a program of
sports enlivened things considerably and
served to sharpen appetites tremendous-
ly. In this, the ladies also were in evi-
dence as Mrs. H. B. Thayer and her
daughter Belle can testify, their athletic
prowess netting them two first prizes.

President Jenkins and Messrs. Danker,
Carpenter and Tracey deserve much
credit for their untiring efforts to make
the day a success and the thanks of the
club are extended to the Brothers Henkes
for their labors so cheerfully undertaken
each year.

Business has been pretty much near
the zero mark all Summer. Flowers of
all kinds have been plentiful and of ex-
cellent quality, but the majority have not
found that they were useful. The coal
question does not seem to worry the grow-
ers, everyone maintaining an optimistic
attitude. If the transportation system of
the country gets no worse in the days
to come his optimism will be justified.

A Monumental Contribution to Arboriculture"

Dr. Sargent Crowns Lifetime of Service
with Revised Tree Manual

A Review by John Dunbar

THE second edition of the "Manual of the Trees
of North America/" by Dr. C, S. Sargent, direc-
tor of the Arnold Arboretum, which ap-
peared recently, represents a most important
contribution to the knowledge of the trees of
North America. No other dendrologist or botan-
ist has ever done anything approaching the work
accomplished by Dr. Sargent in making the
knowledge of the trees of the northern hem-
isphere available to humanity.

His "Report on the Trees of North America,"
which he prepared for the tenth census, at the
request of the United States Government, was a
huge task. The "Sylva of North America,"' beau-
tifully illustrated, in fourteen volumes, the last
of which appeared in 1892. is without a peer in
dendrological literature. And all of this vast
work has resulted from his original investiga-
tions. He was editor of "The Garden and For-
est" during the ten years of its existence. "The
Forest Flora of Japan," the result of his travels
there 25 years since, gives a clear insight into
the subject. "Trees and Shrubs" in two illus-
trated volumes, dealing with the rare or little
known ligneous plants of the northern hemi-
sphere, was finished in 1913. "The Manual of the
Trees of North America" was first published in
1905. He edited "Plantse Wilsoniame." in three
volumes, which was finished in ■'WIT and which
is an enumeration of the immense collections of
woody plants collected in Western China by
E. H. Wilspn for the Arnold Arboretum. Dr. Sar-
gent has also made numerous other contributions
in many other channels to the scientific knowl-
edge of trees.

New Tree Species Number Eighty-nine

The new edition to which we are calling par-
ticular attention at this time, shows in a remark-
able degree the progress made in extending the
knowledge of the trees of America north of
Mexico. During the past 16 years 89 species
have been added to the tree flora. "Representa-
tives of four families and 16 genera which did
not appear in the first edition are described in
the new edition, in which will be found an ac-
count of 716 trees, in 185 genera, illustrated
by 783 figures or 141 more than appeared in the
first edition."

Among the Lindens or Basswoods remarkable
discoveries have been made. The 1905 Manual
describes six species of Lindens, the second edi-
tion describes 15, nearly all of the newly known
species being confined to the Southern or Central
Southern States. Tilia monticola, one of the newly
described species, has been growing in the Rochester
parks for 20 years, under the name of T. heterophylla,
from which species it has now been taken. It is
quite hardy, with large handsome leaves, and large
showy flowers.

Progress with Hickories and Oaks

Great progress has been made in the extended
knowledge of Hickories. In the 1905 Manual 11
species and one variety were described: the second
edition includes 15 species and 23 distinct varieties
and hybrids, making an increase of 26 forms. Atten-
tion might be called to the Ash-leaved Shagbark
Hickory, a very distinct form first discovered by
officials of the Rochester Park Department at Cone-
sus and Long Pond near Rochester, and Kingston,
Ont. It has since been reported from Ohio. Iowa and
Oklahoma. In Western New York five species, seven
varieties, and two hybrids of Hickories are known.

Forty-seven species of Oaks were described in the

•Manual of the Trees of North America (exclusive
of Mexico). By Charles Sprague Sargent. With 783
illustrations from drawings by C. E. Faxon and Mary
W. Gill. Second edition. Houghton Mifflin Co , Boston.

1905 Manual, while in the present edition are listed
54 species and a number of varieties. Numerous hy-
brid forms are also described, that were entirely un-
known 16 years ago. It is quite surprising to note
the numerous natural hybrid Oaks that have occurred
between many different North American species, and
as far as the writer is aware the Acorns of most of
them are fertile, so that they produce abundant prog-
eny. The writer is acquainted with a number of
natural hybrid Oaks in Western New York, some of
them of large size and considerable age.

Opportunity Knocks

By L. E. MANNING

The Australian Silk Oak (Grevillea Robusta)

An exquisite subject for both border use in warm sections and indoor use

everywhere. Not a native American plant, but one that we have gratefully

accepted and can well make use of

Dr. Sargent has contributed much new knowledge
mi tile native Apples of North America. Descriptions
of live new species have been added besides a number
of variant forms, nine indigenous species now being
known in North America. All of the American Crab-
Apples are beautiful ornamental garden plants.

A Promotion from the Ranks

We are pleased to observe that Dr. Sargent decided
to raise the Mountain Silver Bell Tree to specific
rank, so that it is now known as Halexiu monticola,
instead of //. Carolina var. monticola. The writer is
particularly interested in this handsome tree, as he
was the first to call Dr. Sargent's attention to its
existence many years ago when it was formerly in-
volved with the lower-growing and much inferior
Silver Bell Tree, H. Carolina. We have raised hun-
dreds of seedlings from H. monticola, which come
absolutely true to type and show specific identity.

Heredity and the Crataegus Family

In the 1905 Manual Dr. Sargent described 132

species of arborescent American Hawthorns; now

he describes 153 and says : "The genus is still

very imperfectly known in North America and in

{Continued on next page)

SCIENTISTS tell us that a hundred thousand years
or so ago the first man shed bis tail and climbed
down out of his tree. William Jennings Bryan
would have us believe that this is not true, but that
the first man came entirely without antecedents
or introductions. Whoever is right, the result-
ing developments are both interesting and in-
structive.

The entire world was a garden— whether the
garden of Eden or of Nature really doesn't mat-
ter to us. The fact remains that the first man
walked in beauty wherever he went. Think of it !
Contrast that' with the United States in this
year of grace 1922. Vast cities sprawl their ugly
faces over the country and corrode the landscape
with the fumes of a thousand factories. Forests
have vanished and leave in their place the tilled
(but sometimes weedy) fields of civilization.
Even the remote fastnesses of the North and the
West have been called on so peremptorily for
timber that their forests bid fair to become as
extinct as the Dodo unless a drastic change soon
comes about.

And in the midst of this holocaust of past
glories there stands an industry devoted to the
planting of trees and the furnishing of seed-
lings.

That is the nurserymen's industry.
Opportunity? It fairly thunders at our doors.
In pleading with the public to plant trees the
nurseryman is working not solely for his own
business interests, but largely for the general in-
terest of the whole country. The country is just
and gradually beginning to see that fact, and it
follows that it will help him plead.

The Aug. 26 issue of The Exchange carried an
article by J. A. Young on the "Plan to Plant An-
other Tree" campaign as carried out by the Il-
linois Nurserymen's Association. A list of the
associations, both civic and State, that actively
furthered that campaign, at once reveals the
latent public support waiting to be called upon.
Do you imagine that it does not help F. F.
Rockwell in his publicity work to know that
every time a paper prints one of his articles he
is not only helping the nursery industry but also
doing a vast deal of material good to the readers
of that paper? The editors of such papers, on
the other hand, thus get a vast amount of ex-
cellent material — and are glad to get and use
the articles. The reason is that they are in the
public interest.

It is to the interest of the public to plant
trees. It is to the interest of the nurserymen's
business to sell trees.
There are three aspects of this singular opportu-
nity with which the industry is presented. The first
is planting trees for commercial purposes to furnish
lumber and paper pulp. The second is the planting
of trees for the fruit thereof. The third is the plant-
ing of trees for the sake of their beauty and charm.

The first of these aspects is so important to the
country as a whole that the Government has estab-
lished State nurseries to furnish young trees to such
as desire to reforest waste lands. These trees are
furnished so cheaply by the Government that it is
practically impossible for a private establishment to
compete in supplying them.

The planting of fruit trees is one of the mainstays
of the industry and seems destined to assume larger
and larger proportions in the years to come. Of
course fruit trees are not always planted in orchards
for, combining, as they do, beauty and usefulness,
they take a high place in the list of popular orna-
mental trees.

But the high ideal and aim of the nursery in-
dustry lies in the third aspect of the matter — orna-
mental planting; that which adds so much to the

beauty of the country with every tree
that is rooted in American soil.

What is beauty, you ask? How does
one value it? You cannot sell it or buy
it at a fixed price. Is it a necessary
commodity?

I would answer that beauty in art
and in Nature has contributed' as much
as any other factor to the final result of
man's struggle for civilization.

Why is one house valuable and an-
other, costing just as much to build, not
so valuable? Because the former is more
beautiful, or because it is located in a
more beautiful section of the country.
Why is one city pleasant to live in and
another distasteful? Nine times out of
ten because the first is beautiful and
the second ugly.

What makes houses and cities beau-
tiful? The buildings themselves may be
well designed or not, but if the streets
and grounds are planted with trees and
shrubs and the grass is green on the
boulevards then you have beauty.

If you can convince a man of that
fact and those to which it inevitably
leads, he will buy your trees.

A Monumental Contribution to
Arboriculture

(Continued from page 665)

the absence of sufficient information con-
cerning them, several arborescent species
are necessarily excluded from the follow-
ing enumeration." Considerable doubt
and criticism has been made by some
botanical authorities on the multiplica-
tion of so many Crataegus species. The
writer has had opportunity to raise nu-
merous species of the new American
Crataegi from seed, and has found that
they come absolutely true to the parents
in number of stamens, color of anthers,
formation of calyx lobes, shape of fruit,
leaves, spines, etc. It is a remarkable
discovery on the part of Dr. Sargent and
one that is scientifically accurate.

This is but a meagre attempt to give
even a hazy idea of Dr. Sargent's latest
Manual. Any person who wants to ob-
tain a fair conception of the trees of
North America should procure a copy.
Dr. Sargent says very modestly he has
given 44 years to the continuous study
of the trees of North America in all
parts of the United States, and in many
foreign countries. "If these studies in
any way serve to increase the knowledge
and the love of trees I shall feel that
these years have not been misspent."

New Nursery at Emerson, N. J„

R. D. Walsh and J. H. Ewald have
opened a nursery at Emerson, N. J., some
few miles north of Hackensack. Mr.
Walsh has had a long experience in the
nursery and landscape business, while Mr.
Ewald was formerly with R. H. Macy
and other New York concerns for many
years.

The new concern is busy breaking up
ground alongside the Kinderkermack rd.,
and plans to stock all kinds of nursery

The neighborhood, which embraces
Oradell, Westwood, Hillsdale, etc., has
not hitherto been well catered to in this
direction, and therefore the new firm has
good prospects before it.

August Flowering Perennials

There is no let up during August in the
flower display among herbaceous peren-.
nials, where judicious selections have been
made in planting the formal garden or
border. However, many new faces are un-
mistakable harbingers of the coming Au-
tumn. The old favorite, Larkspur (Del-
phinium elatum), makes an effort to
bloom again, while the plants that were
started late have a wealth of flowers all
the month; it is truly one of the very
best of the numerous perennials. The
blue flowers, with a sprinkling of white
Daisies of the tall Pyrethrum (chrysanthe-
mum) uliginosum in the background and
Aster Perry's Pink, form a pleasing com-
bination.

made with the dark rose Turtle Head
(chelone Lyoni) and Shasta Daisies, the
latter being the most desirable of this
month's selections, for it may be used
with any color, especially the brilliant
rosy-purple Daisies of Henecio pulcher, a
striking plant, though it does not appear
to winter well hereabouts. Florists
should by all means grow it, since it is
showy, good for cutting, and will appeal
as new to most persons. Another Senecio,
S. clivorum — introduced from China —
blooms in August, sending up clusters of
orange "Daisies" on tall stems (3ft. to
4ft.) above the large leaves. It is too
coarse for the small garden, but excellent
for naturalizing in the wild landscape
where bold foliage is wanted.

More Subjects for Wild Gardens

For a similar location the tall Poly-
gonum cupidatum which, once established,
is hard to eradicate, should be planted;
but give it a permanent location, where
there is no objection to its taking posses-

(Solidago sp.), the purple, pink and white

tall perennial Sunflowers, Heliantlius or-
gyalis and H. Pitcheriana and Helenium
autuiitiiule superbum, with its terra cotta
variety "Riverton Gems."

Referring again to the Shasta Daisy,
use it with the purple Coneflower (Echi-
nacea purpurea) that splendid long bloom-
er, whose bold purple Daisies are good
for cutting, as are those of Heliopsis
scabra Zinnia-flora. The same may be said
of Heliantlius Miss Mellish, which grows
6ft. to 8ft., whose single small Sunflowers
are borne profusely on generous stems.
But it is1 more appropriate for the shrub
border than the small garden, for it
spreads extensively, not from the old
crown, but from eyes or buds which form
at the tips of the previous season's growth.

The hardy Sage (Salvia asurea grandi-
flora) is worth a place in the garden for
the sake of its pale blue flowers. The
Tiger Lily (Lilium trigrinum) provides a
pleasing contrast in back of the white
Plantain Lily (Funkia or Sosta grandi-
flora). Incidentally, two other Funkias
bloom this month — F. japonica or land-
folia and F. alba marginaia. Both are de-
sirable edging plants, the latter having
larger leaves, being less common than F.

Trailing and Rock Garden Plants

For a prostrate plant with lengthy
blooming period the Poppy Mallow (Cal-
lirrhoe involucrata) is a good subject, its
dark red flowers reminding one of Portu-
laca. For the rock garden, in addition
to plants referred to for July effects, we
should note the attractive dwarf Car-
pathian Bellflower [Campanula carpatica).

The Mist Flower or Hardy Ageratum
(Eupatorinin coelestmum) is a good laven-
der subject for bedding or grouping with
E. agertoides, the white Thoronghwort,
which starts to flower later. We should
perhaps have called attention, in the
plants recommended for a "wild" land-
scape, to a third Eupatorium — E. pur-
pureum or Joe Pye Weed, whose tall
stems are heavily laden with large heads
of small dark pink flowers. It delights
in an open woodland position. '

Last month we referred to the im-
proved types of "Mallow Marvels." By
selection it is possible to obtain many
different types, in form of foliage as we'll
as color of flowers. A few days ago we
saw in the corner of a small' suburban
place a single bushy plant, grouped with
shrubs, where, with its striking dark crim-
son flowers, it might have been mistaken
from a distance for a well flowered Rose
bush. Such a plant, grouped with space
to develop, would contrast splendidly with
the white flowers of the single Hydrangea
paniculata.
_ Last but not least we would call atten-
tion to the popular Blanket Flower (Gail-
larrlia grandiflora compacta) which is
still blooming, as are manv of the Phloxes
previously referred to . Surelv all these
August blooms give ample evidence of the
assortment available for florists who may
have a little ground on which to grow a
selection of the most popular sorts for
cutting, edgings, pot plants or any special
purpose. Samuel New .man Baxter.

John Watson on Nuts for
Nurserymen

We note in the interesting program of
the 13th annual convention of the North-
ern Nut Growers Association, which is
being held at Osburn House, Rochester,
N. Y., Sept. 7 to 9, that John Watson,
secretary of the DuBois Press, is sched-
uled to speak on "The Nurseryman's In-
terest in Nut Culture." We hope to be
able to present Mr. Watson's address in
these columns in the near future.

Pear Stocks

Seemingly British fruit tree raisers
are still devoting much attention to the
question of stocks and judging by an ad
ni one trade paper, the blight resistant
fyrus ussuriensis and P. betulaefolia are
in favor. Seed of these sipecies are im-
ported from Japan and China. We be-
lieve these Pyrus are being used ex-
perimentally, if not generally, by fruit
tree growers in the United States. Both
are said to make good stocks for stand-
ard trees.

A "Dry Mix "Lime Sulphur

All nurserymen and fruit growers
know the value of lime sulphur for
spraying purposes, but those who have
made it. know it is not the easiest of
jobs, more so because pure lime is not
always available. Prof. A. J. Farley,
of the New Jersey Experiment Station!
got over the "self boiled" lime sulphur
trouble by using a mixture of sulphur,
lime and glue, but while successful, it
entailed making as wanted. Prof. Far-
ley has now substituted calcium casein-
ate m place of glue.

The mixture is made with ground sul-
phur 8 lbs.; hydrated lime, 4 lbs.; cal-
cium caseinate, 5 oz. to 6 oz.

These ingredients can be mixed dry
and washed through a strainer into 50
gallons of water. It can be prepared
ahead of spraying lime and a perfect sus-
pension is assured. The new spray is
being fully tested all over New Jersey
and it will probably do away with the
self boiled process.

A. C. Borzner is planning a one-story
greenhouse and florist shop in Langhorne
Pa., for E. K. Schultz.

Among the Growers

Bealls' Greenhouses, Vashon Island,
Wash.

Taking advantage of the general lull in
business at this period of year, I pro-
ceeded to fulfill a promise I had made
myself some months ago, namely to visit
the above named growing establishment,
which is situated about the center of
Vashon Island, out in the Puget Sound,
midway between Seattle and Tacoma. The
Island is 12 miles long and varies from
one to four miles w-ide, with an approxi-
mate acreage of 21.760. Owing to its
equitable climate and general fertility of
soil, fruits, vegetables and flowers can
be raised to perfection, and while there
are several other greenhouses on the
island, the firm under notice has one of
the larerest and most uptodate in the Pa-
cific Northwest. Communication with
Seattle and Tacoma is maintained by ferry
system, and the firm has a daily auto
truck delivery service.

The Men Responsible

The active members of the firm are
Wallace Beall, McGruder Beall and
Graham Maloney. L. C. Beall, Sr., also
maintains an interest' in it and dispenses
advice gained of ripened experience to the
young and very energetic active partners.
At present, there is considerably over
200,000ft. of glass under operation, includ-
ing a new 400ft. x45ft. steel and concrete
house, erected in February last. Plans
for a second house of the same dimensions
are out, and active construction of same
is intended to commence very shortly. I
"was fortunate on my trip across to the
island to have as a fellow passenger on
the boat L. C. Beall, Jr., who, although
not now an active partner, was formerly
in charge of the Woodlawn Flower Store,
when that was the retail end of their busi-
ness. Since the sale of that end of the
trade to the present Woodlawn proprietor,
he has ceased to take an active part in
the management, but still keeps himself
wrell posted on matters of importance to
the firm's business success.

Among other things, he has decided
ideas concerning labor questions. In
answer to my question as to how they
fared with labor, Mr. Beall stated they
had 10 or 12 employees who had been
with them the same number of years, and
who had helped the firm to reach their
present position. We want the best labor
the best wages will get. "We want," he
said, "only, and apparently manage to get,
satisfied men. We a*k no man to do any-
thing we are ashamed to do, or cannot do,
ourselves. We have had. occasionally, so-
called skilled men, who demurred at han-
dling manure on the benches, either be-
cause they considered it beneath their
dignity, or were squeamish about it; such
men are no good to us. We want men
who have an interest in their work, who
through love of it consider no necessary
job as menial, and are not above receiving
advice when proffered them. Above all,
we insist on a good day's work for good
wages. The weak spots in labor, as I
see it today, is the lack of understanding
between employee and employer, with its
accompanying interest and sympathy in
success or failure, and the failure of a
large percentage of labor to give a fair
return for value received. We endeavor
to eliminate all employees who have not
sufficient 'pep' to fulfill these conditions,
recognizing that the slacker is a source of
irritation to the honest and conscientious
employee. The result is that all members
of our firm are on the very best terms
with pur men." Much other interesting
"dope" was given me, arid by the time we
reached the docks I was beginning to un-
derstand the reason for the success with
which this firm is accredited by fellow
members of the trade.

At the Greenhouses

On arrival at the greenhouses, we found
^yallace Beall engaged with the prepara-
tion of the pay rolls, it being pay day.
McGruder Beall was absent at Tacoma,
so I was turned over to Graham Maloney,
who proved to be an efficient guide. We
first inspected the packing house, finding
everything uptodate and tidiness prevail-
ing. A house devoted to Cyclamen was
next in order; here we found 9000 strong
plants in excellent condition. From 5000
to 7500 Hydrangeas are grown yearly also.

Next we visited five houses, 125ft. x25ft.,
devoted entirely to Adiantum, bench grown.
The whole were in very healthy condition.
Houses which had been replanted this year
were noticeable for the heavy gowth of
new fronds coming on. Four houses, 150ft.
x35ft., had just finished a cut of Cucum-
bers; 1200 dozen of first grade "Cukes"
have been shipped this season. The houses

were being prepared for Freesias, in equal
proportions of Purity and General Persh-
ing. Bonny Best Tomatoes were grown
in the 400 footer already referred to. The
crop at time of my visit was about over,
although enough fruit remained to show
that a fine type of this variety had been
handled. The plants are confined to a
single stem and pinched at the fifth truss.
Mr. Maloney, who by the by, is an expert
English Tomato grow-er, reported a most
satisfactory crop at top prices. This same
house is to be planted to 35,000 Chrysan-
themum Golden Chadwick. They con-
sider this variety their most satisfactory
yellow 'Mum. Fifty per cent of their
175,000 plants are of this variety.

Chrysanthemums a Specialty

Chrysanthemums are a specialty of this
firm, and other varieties grown in quan-
tity are Whittier, Maude Dean, Alice
Day and Pompon Lydia Thomas. All
their young stock of 'Mums looked first
rate, all being transplanted with the ex-
ception of a batch of 14,000 in the cutting
benches.

Another specialty is Roses, to which
seven houses, 175ft. x45ft., concrete and
steel construction, are devoted. They
claim that in J. R. McDowell they have
the livest and best Rose grower on the
Pacific Coast, and after making his ac-
quaintance • I don't dispute it, because I
discovered in Mac an old Canadian ac-
quaintance who for some years prior to
taking up his present position presided
over the Rose portion of a celebrated
erowing establishment at Berlin (now
Kitchener), Ont. Consequently, it quite
suited me to be handed over to him for
a tour of his department. To intending
visitors, a word of caution: wdien once
introduced to friend Mac, don't breathe
a word concerning any subject except
Roses. He talks, sleeps with and grows
'em all the time. In short, he's a Rose
"bug" of the most valuable variety.

Forty Thousand Roses

I have already said Roses are a spe-
cialty; this is true in every sense, even
in regard to varieties. By careful trials
the varieties most suited to the climatic
conditions have been gradually reduced
until only three or four varieties are
grown in large quantities. Of the 40,000
on the benches, Columbia, Premier and
Mme. Butterfly, in about equal propor-
tions, would constitute the majority. A
few Hadley are being grown, but are be-
ing discarded this season for Red Colum-
bia, the four houses planted last year to
this variety, Columbia and Butterfly, be-
ing a picture of health and cleanliness.
Weeds, another hobby of Mac's, are con-
spicuous by their absence. Ten thousand
of the varieties mentioned, grafted last
year for this year's benching, also looked
promising. In a house of Premier, 60
per cent of the stems were 20in., and in
Columbia bullheads were noticeably ab-
sent. Manetti is the stock used, the firm
grovving all their own, an acre visited
looking strong and vigorous.

I have already stated that the island is
a great fruit prodncing center, and in ad-
dition to running a successful greenhouse
plant Bealls have, this year, packed from
their own land 700 barrels of 500 lbs. each
of Strawberries and Raspberries in syrup,
which will eventually find their way to
the canners.

Progressive, energetic and thorough de-
scribes Bealls' Vashon Greenhouses accu-
rately, and I appreciated the opportunity
of viewing things. Geo. Cooper.

Grim Reaper Busy Among British
Horticulturists

Several people noted for their interest
in English horticulture have "passed on"
recently. The death of Lord Northcliffe,
the famous newspaper man, removed one
who not only was intimately interested
in gardening on his own estates, but who
did much to encourage others in the pur-
suit. His famous $5000 prize for a bunch
of Sweet Peas did much to develop Sweet
Pea culture, while his paper, the Daily
Mail, also organized several great vege-
table and fruit shows for which huge
prizes were offered. He also organized
the Ideal Home Exhibition which has be-
come an annual event.

Another, famous for his keen interest in
horticulture, was Sir Albert Kaye Rollit.
A great publicist and witty speaker, he
had considerable influence. For years he
served as president of the National Chrys-
anthemum Society, and at its annual din-
ners he was a positive delight. Full of
anecdotes and possessing a great sense of
humor, he could veritably run on for

ever. Despite his title, he was far from
being aristocratic; to all he was a rol-
licking "John Blunt," with little regard
for the supersensitive. He wras 80 years
of age, and held many honors from vari-
ous governments. In business life he
was connected with the law.

A third well known horticulturist to;
cross the border recently, wras David
Storrie of Glenearse, one of Scotland's
greatest florists. He was noted for his
skill with fruit trees, but with all florists'
flowers, hardy and greenhouse, he was
equally renowned. David Storrie did
much to make the hardy Polyanthus Prim-
rose and the hardy Auricula what they
are today. In 1920 he was awarded the
Neill prize, the highest award in Scot-
land, for his services to horticulture.

Made Out of Pennies

The world over is familiar with the
name of Ryder & Sons, Ltd., of St. Albans,
Eng., a firm which, until the war condi-
tions forced up prices, did its entire seed
business with 2c. packets, the only excep-
tion being Peas and Beans. Few catalogs
and certainly none in America, contain
such an enormous variety of seeds, rang-
ing from orchids to Mustard and Cress,
as that issued by Ryders; the regular is-
sue is well over one million, apart from
the special lists published at other sea- i
sons of the year. This year, the firm
split the difference between the old time
price and twopence (4c.) of wartime, by
offering all seeds at 3c. How pennies
mount up, is shown by the fact that for
the year ended June 30, the sale of seeds
at 4c. from July 6 to December. 1921, and
at 3c. January to June 1922, enabled the
firm to make a clear profit of £10,520
(roughly $52,000). The shareholders get ■
a dividend of eight per cent, the balance
being devoted to writing off the prelimi-
nary expenses and the reserve fund. It
may be mentioned that the firm was
turned into a company a year or two ago
and that bulbs and nursery stock are now
included in its trading. The firm adver-
tises largely and in the Spring, frequently
takes whole pages of the London dailies,
probably at a cost of thousands of dol-
lars. The success of the firm, w-hich is
by no means a young one, is due to cater-
ing to small gardeners who appreciate be-
ing able to obtain small quantities of
good quality seed in infinite variety. The
seeda offered by this firm are fully equal
to the average; the price hinges on quan-
tity, and as the approximate number of
seeds is given, it is a simple matter for
anyone to decide what is required. The
firm is famous for its expeditious dis-
patch; no order, however great the rush,
fails to leave the warehouse inside 24
hours of receipt. The founder, Samuel
Ryder, has been mayor of St. Albans on
several occasions. Some few years ago
he traveled extensively through America
and Canada.

Rhinebeck, N. Y.

Violet Growers Reorganize

It has probably been all of ten
years since there was such an enthusias-
tic meeting of Violet growers as was
held in Rhinebeck (N. Y.) on the night
,of Aug. 19. This was a twice postponed
meeting and the attendance of over 40
growers far exceeded the hopes of those
in charge.

As the number of growers in this vi-
j cinity has dropped from 139 to about 85
it was deemed advisable to amend the by-
laws of the association in several par-
tificulars in order to make the organiza-
' tion more flexible. The board of direc-
tors will hereafter consist of nine mem-
bers instead of the unwieldy number of
19. After amending the by-laws and elect-
ing the directors, the election of officers
was held with the following results:
President, George C. Lang; vice-president,
Francis Scoles; secretary, Nelson Coon;
treasurer, Harry Smillie.

The president spoke briefly of the work
| to be accomplished, then the new seere-
1 tary spent some time in outlining the
work already accomplished toward pur-
chasing supplies and urged cooperation of
the members.

At the close of the meeting more than
30 of the growers present became mem-
bers and others signified their intention
of joining. The secretary has since sent
out a questionnaire and hopes when the
returns are all in to be able to announce
a membership of at least 50.

Although the past aim of the organiza-
tion has been merely along the line of
purchasing supplies, the present manage-
ment hopes to make it of value to the
growers by promoting sales through ad-
vertising and by protecting them from un-
scrupulous buyers.

Highly Successful Summer Show

Ethan A. Coon, "the little giant Vio-
let grower," had but just returned from

his trip to Kansas City when he was
plunged head, over heels into the work
of managing one of the finest flower shows
this section has ever seen. The Dutchess
County Fair held Aug. 30, 31, Sept. 1
and 2, allotted to Mr. Coon the old Hor-
ticultural Hall on the grounds and left
him to go to work with wonderful re-
sults. Some folks said the display was
300 per cent better than ever before, aud
certainly there were some things seen
that could not be bettered even at the
International Show.

The entrance to the hall was beautified
on the outside by a fine garden display
made by the Rhinebeck Floral Co. Here
a Summer house, a pool backed by shrubs
and evergreens, and a hardy border gave
a forecast of what was inside.

As was the case last year the first fea-
ture to strike the eye was the cleverly
produced miniature rock garden set up
entirely by an amateur lady gardener,
Miss 'Elizabeth Montgomery, of Barry-
town. Backing tljis was the circular
fountain well banked in with palms and
ferns. Back and above all this was the
large scale wedding decoration executed
by Miss E. A. Burgess, the well known
retired florist of Brooklyn. This same
artist also exhibited two table decora-
tions that were first prize winners and
would have been so against any compe-
tition.

Flanking the wedding decoration on
either side were the fine exhibits of
Dahlias, first prize for which was won
by N. Harold Cottam of Wappingers
Falls. The contest in Dahlias was so
sharp that the judges felt obliged to call
in an umpire to confirm their decisions.
One exhibit of Dahlia seedlings was much '
complimented, not so much because of the
quality of the flowers, but because the
the exhibitor had put foliage with each
flower, thus setting them off and the whole
exhibit to better advantage. Dahliaists
would do well to follow this custom more
generally.

The large exhibits of cut flowers ar-
ranged for effect were arranged against
the sides of the building and were prin-
cipally exhibited by the large estates such
as those of Vincent Astor, A. Rogers and
Gerald Redmond. The Redmond estate
showed a group of foliage plants and
palms that was exceptionally well grown
and finely displayed.

Other exhibits of interest were those
of the Rhinebeck Floral Co., which
showed a collection of cut flowers well
named and a good display of floral design-
ing. The amateur displays showed ex-
ceptional work, especially in the Celosia
class. Exhibits in the Aster class were
good, but not remarkable, due in part to
the generally wet season.

For a Summer show it was indeed a
noteworthy event and as over 300,000 at-
tended the fair, its educational value
cannot be overestimated.

Jottings

David Burgevin, the Floral King
of Kingston, reports business booming as
usual and sees big prospects for a Fall
rush.

J. Von der Linden of Rhinebeck is not
growing as many 'Mums as usual this
year, but what he lacks in the quautity
of his 'Mums is made up in the quality
ui his Carnation plants. Low grown
bushy plants they are, well able to bear
the load of flowers which he is picking
daily.

J. P. Von Melle of the Poughkeepsie
Nursery Co., says that Summer business
has not been as good as might be, but
that he is looking for good business this
Fall.

J. T. Houghton of the Red Hook branch
of the Heberle Nurseries writes us that
they are now up to their eyes budding
and that they are already sold out of
all the standard sorts of Apples.

J. H. Snyder — but now I must stop.
I just noticed that this is the fourth para-
graph I've begun with "J" and if I tell
any more you will think we are a lot of
Jays up here, which we/ emphatically
deny. So I'll leave report of the rest of
the Violet growers till next time. Suffice
it to say that most everyone's Violets
are doing well and IF we get coal there
will be some XXX grade Violets to dis-
pose of. Vincent Beekman.

Scranton, Pa.

Trade Notes

Business during the past week has
been fair; funeral work formed the bulk
of the trade with a few weddings. Stock
of all kinds is very plentiful; in fact,
never has there been such a large sup-
ply of Asters, Gladioli and other outdoor
flowers. Carnations were seen in a few
stores, but poor quality and short stems.
Hoses are in a moderate supply with Rus-
sell and Premier the best sellers.

At this writing the trade is rejoicing
over the fact that the coal strike is
settled, which to Scranton means a great
deal as we are in the center of the an-
thracite coal district. It is hoped that
the railroad strike will be settled soon as
this throws out about 10,000 workers in
Scranton and vicinity. The florists have
a great deal to be thankful for, as both
these strikes came in our dull season which
of course did not hurt business a great
deal, with the expectation of collections
which have been slow. By November
business will be just as good as ever if
not better.

The Elks' Convention

The Scranton Florists Club pre-
sented a huge basket of flowers to Cnas.
Grakelow ot Philadelphia at the banquet
of the Elks held on the opening night of
the Elks Convention at the Hotel Casey
on Aug. 21. Mr.. Grakelow in his speech,
thanked the Florists Club of Scranton
for the handsome basket and expressed
his wish that the committee send the bas-
ket to some hospital so that it might
bring sunshine to some poor, sick per-
sons, as after all, that is what flowers are
for; to bring sunshine and happiness to
all of us. ¥. J. M.

Pittsburgh, Pa.

Cortlaxb, N. Y. — Edward Alley, flo-
rist, has bought out the bankrupt stock
of Allen Brown Hill.

General Conditions

It looks as though the turning point
has been reached and that business is on
the up grade, but it will not get into a
good swing until we have a frost, as most
flower buyers are such lovers of flowers
that they have them of their own and are
not in the market until frost kills what
they have.

The Summer of 1922 has not been a
good one for the florist, as most of them,
both wholesale and retail, will tell you
that it did not come up to last year; but
at that if they get down to brass tacks,
they will find that it has been normal.
Last Summer's business was really a false
one due to the bringing of the bodies of
our soldiers home for burial; this made
the backbone of the business. The two
years before that it was the "flu" and
before that the war, while this Summer
we have had absolutely nothing to bolster
us up and it was hard to go back to an
oldtime Summer business. But if they
ever get the labor troubles settled, the sea-
son just coming in should be one of the
best the trade ever experienced. The coal
situation is the burning question in this
section. We are right in the heart of the
soft coal region, but still they are ask-
ing prices that would bankrupt most
growers, so there are very few who have
done anything toward getting a supply
for this Winter's needs. They are all
waiting for the government to set the
price, and if nothing is done about set-
ting a fair price, there will no doubt be
a lot of growers, especially the smaller
ones, who will have to close down.

The Market

The supply of flowers remains
about the same as for the past several
weeks.

The supply of Roses is growing and the
quality improving. Columbia seems to
be more plentiful and in better condition
than the other varieties, although Mine.
Butterfly and Ophelia are v|ery good.
Premier are not plentiful at present. The
new crop of American Beauties is now
on the market, but the demand is light.

Carnations are again to be bad, but
they are short in stem and do not move
readily.

The supply of Lilies is about equal to
the demand and they clean up daily at
fair prices, bringing $20 and $25 per 100
wholesale.

While the supply of Gladioli is not as
heavy as it has been, there are still too
many to realize much out of them.

Asters are coming in heavily and the
quality is much better than that of the

early crop: in fact, some of the best As-
ters seen in years are to be had at rea-
sonable prices.

Delphinium, Baby's Breath, Cornflower
and Gaillardia are still seen in limited
quantities, but the public seem to have
tired of the garden flowers.

The Pittsburgh Florists & Gardeners
Club resumed their regular monthly
meetings with the first meeting of the
new season in the North Side Carnegie
Library, Tuesday evening, Sept. 5. The
coal question was to be brought up at
this meeting, so a large attendance of
growers was expected.

The Dave Hill Floral Co. has issued
invitations for the opening of its new-
store in the old location at Fifth ave. and
Wood st. The old building was torn down
this Spring and a modern building erected
in its place. Dave pays what is con-
sidered the highest rent of any florist in
the country for the same amount of space,
the room being 27ft. long by 8ft. wide,
on which he has a ten year lease at $8,-
500 per year. Dave believes in small
profits and big volume and this is the
secret of his success. E. C. Tipton.

Elmira, N. Y.

Sept. 5. — There is no change in
market conditions here; everybody is
busy planting for the coming season!

H. A. Woeppel, the leading florist of
Corning, N. Y., has just completed his new
greenhouse, 2oft.xl00ft., built by the A.
M. G. Co. His son, William, who is in
the business with his father, celebrated
his wedding a few weeks ago.

Mrs. C. Jackson, who, for the past
eight years has conducted the La France
Flower Shop, and by the way is the only
lady florist in Elmira, reports business
fairly good. We are glad to see Mrs.
Jackson in her usual good health again
after being absent from business for sev-
eral months. Her daughter, Helen, who
is her right hand assistant, is on her va-
cation now in the vicinity of Bingham-
ton. R. K.

Newport, R. I.

Florists Busy

Sept. 4. — This week has been a
busy one for the florists, luncheons and
dinners at the Summer cottages being
the order of the day. At a ball given
Friday evening by Mrs. Charles Fred-
erick Hoffman, for her daughter. Dahl-
ias were the principal flower used. Balls
were given Saturday evening by Mr.
and Mrs. John Aspegren, who bought
the Mortimer Brooks estate last Spring,
and by Mr. and Mrs. Wm. P. Burden,
who became the possessors of what was
formerly the home of Mr. and Mrs. De-
lancey Astor Kane. In both cases the
entertainment was in the nature of a
house warming.

For the former 500 guests were in-
vited, and for the latter 200 guests.

At Aspen Hall, the Aspegren home,
the lighting and floral decorations were
on a scale not seen in Newport for
years. Leikens & Co. had the decora-
tions at both places.

Newport Horticultural Society's float,
a copy of the Old Stone Mill, made a
very good showing in the Labor Day
parade.

The awards for floats were as follows:
1st, to Training Station; 2d, to Horticul-
tural Societv; 3d, to N. E. Telephone and
Telegraph Co..

Specials — Horticultural Society silver
loving cup for entry most typical of New-

Sort; silver loving cup in class B. to
•utee D. Flint; grand prize for car
in all classes excepting floats, Captain
Frank Taylor Evans.

The Newport Herald declared the Hor-
ticultural Society's entry was a wonder.
It was a work of art, beauty and skill.
It was a remarkable and exact reproduc-
tion in evergreen of the Old Stone Mill.
The mill stood on a greensward which was
set off with two circular flower beds. The
border consisted of small Shrubs and
flowers. The wheels of the float were hid-
den behind a mass of Hydrangea blos-
soms. The entire float was illuminated
by several spot lights hidden in the floral
mass and by small lights strung overhead.
The Society's committee was Pres. An-
drew J. Dorward, John T. Allan, John
Mahan, Bruce Butterton, Arthur W. Pot-
ter. Edward J. Wilson of the Wilson

wonder whether we may not yet hear groups of our

Oily to bed

Makes us all independent
Of soft coal supplies.

We have received from our Atlanta (Ga.) corre-
spondent, a resume of the Georgia Nursery Law of
1922. As this legislation is of the new licensing type
which is also in force in one or more other Southern

trade throughout the country. We will publish the
summary in the Nursery Department next week.

To Prevent Bulb Dumping

There is a wide difference between the legitimate,
mutually beneficial importing of worthy foreign
goods and the dumping of refuse stock for the sole
purpose of getting rid of it for all that the unsus-
pecting buyer can he called on to pay. It was at the
latter practice that Peter Pearson directed his re-
port at the S. A. F. Convention and at which was
aimed the resolution which, at his suggestion, was in-
troduced by S. S. Skidelsky, seconded by J. J. Hess
and adopted unanimously. This resolution was to the
effect that the society condemn the practice of. ship-
ping surplus bulbs to and dumping them on the Ameri-
can market, and that a copy of the resodution be
sent to the Dutch Bulb Exporters Association.

In commenting on the practice Mr. Pearson stated
that his committee 'had "come to the conclusion that
there is very little that can he done outside of co-
operation in refusing to deal with such firms as make
a practice of bringing over surplus bulbs." As a mat-
ter of fact, it is probable that such cooperation intelli-
gently and consistently practiced will have more and
better effect than the passage of any number of reso-
lutions.

One who is familiar with conditions in the New
York flower market has expressed his wonderment
at the situation in Boston as reflected by Bro. Thorn-
men's newsletter of last week. "Well!" says our vis-
itor, "They may use that flowery, biblical language
in the Boston flower market, but over here in little
old New York, when business gets down to Midsum-
mer dimensions the comments are generally profuse
but phrased in much shorter, more caustic and wholly
unbiblical language!"

An Unfortunate Episode

Those figures in the world's history who have
worked for one cause or another and who, instead
of being rewarded for their diligence and faithful-
ness, have suffered disappointment and anguish of
spirit, make up a goodly and a noble company. May
such pride and consolation as can be derived from
membership in that heroic band ease the pain and
brighten the days of James McHutchison where he
lies crippled, ill and disappointed — an instance of
what might almost be called martyrdom in the cause
of the American horticultural industry.

Appointed chairman of the Tariff and Legislation
Committee of the S. A. F. and faced, in that capacity,
with the thankless, complex, and difficult task of
meeting the Quarantine 37 situation as well as the
exigencies of a pending tariff bill, Mr. McHutchison
— only partly recovered from a long and stubborn
illness — lad for many a weary month given unspar-
ingly of his time and strength and mental effort in
endeavoring to serve and protect the interests of
American florists and the larger welfare of American
horticulture.

Worn down this past Spring by the strain of his
responsibilities, his health suffered a serious break-
down; ou top of this a lamentable automobile acci-
dent resulted in further physical incapacitation ;
meanwhile, the F. H. B. had made him the subject
of unwarranted insinuation and slurs against which
he, personally, was unable to defend himself ; and
finally, to cap it all, those members of the S. A. F.
who attended the convention saw fit to refuse their
endorsement of the larger part of his committee's re-
port. In other words, they did what they could to
repudiate the work that he, in a sincere attempt to
perform the duty entrusted to him, had done.

Upon what grounds was this rebuke administered?
Simply the assertion that in questioning the benefi-
cial nature of Qu. 37 in its effects upon "the great
majority" of the trade and in urging that economic
protection of the trade be put in the hands of tariff
authorities rather than the F. H. B., the committee's
report did not express the sentiments of the society.
As a matter of record, during the discussion four
men spoke in favor of endorsing Mr. McIIutchison's
work while exactly the same number spoke against
such a course and in favor of Qu. 37 ; nevertheless,
the society, with perhaps 100 of its 4000 members
present at that session is reported to have passed
"unanimously" the resolution repudiating the report
of the T. and L. committee !

As far as we can see, the real bone of contention,
the one little item that rankled in the hearts of a
few and provoked the most heated discussion of the
whole convention, was the fact that at the May 15
plant quarantine conference in Washington the com-
mittee in its statement said that it "spoke for the
Society of American Florists and Ornamental Horti-
culturists," instead of tlafi it merely spoke for itself.
Yet was that not the case? At a previous convention
the society, as its .only other official expression on
the subject, had emphatically refused to endorse Qu.
37; and the committee, made up of seven nationally
known plantsmen was put in charge of the situation
and expected to take action for the good of the in-
dustry according to the dictates of their intelligence
and their consciences with no contrary expression
of trade sentiment to go by.

This committee had been studying the subject for
more than two years and certainly it had a clearer,
more complete knowledge of the complicated quaran-
tine situation than any individual florist could hope
to possess. Is there, then, any reason for believing
that the vote at Kansas City was any more represen-
tative of the real trade sentiment — or any better
fitted to promote trade welfare — than the Tariff and
Legislation Committee's analysis and recommenda-
tions as expressed, both at Washington in May and
in Kansas City in August?

Moreover, at a preceding session this 1922 conven-
tion had voted (again "unanimously") to accept the
report of the committee on the president's address,
which report included this paragraph :

"We urge that a suitable letter of protest to Secre-
tary Wallace of the U. S. Department of Agriculture
be prepared, approved by your president, and sent,
protesting against the non-recognition of our organi-
zation on the jury at the recent conference and
against the insinuation in the conference report that
the chairman of the Tariff Committee did not repre-
sent the organization."

In other words the convention, after thus giving
its Tariff Committee chairman a mild vote of confi-
dence, absolutely reversed itself and later voted to
withhold its endorsement of this very same officer
on the very same point!

A peculiar, confused, and unfortunate state of af-
fairs, this, truly. And one which, as we see it, is
largely the result of incomplete knowledge on the
part of most of the trade of just what tie quaran-
tine situation and problems are — and wlat they hold

for the future. But whatever its cause, the result
is none the less galling for the members of the Tariff
Committee in general and Mr. McHutchison in par-
ticular. We are moved to sympathize with one gen-
tleman present at the convention who, after the re-
pudiating vote had been cast, remarked, "I think
from now on it is perfectly useless to appoint com-
mittees to do work."

That, of course, exaggerates somewhat, but we can
easily conceive that no present member of the Tariff
and Legislation Committee will be especially anxious
to devote himself to any task, least of all any phase
of the quarantine subject, so long as there is no as-
surance of the Society's standing back of him in his
sincere efforts, or of its giving him in advance some
sort of instruction as to the course it wishes him to
pursue. It almost seems as though organization loy-
alty would have demanded a vote of confidence for
the committee if for no other reason than to refute
and discredit the insinuations that had been cast by
the F. H. B.

But, apparently, such was not to be, and James
McHutchison has had to suffer the chagrin of finding
himself in an hour of sore trial and depression un-
supported by his society and the fellow tradesmen
for whom he gave the very best he had.

Yet we know — and he knows — that in the minds
and hearts of all who know him, he, personally,
stands in as high regard as ever. And if, as chairman
of a committee, he has suffered loss of prestige or
pride — why, he need only recollect that committees
are hut temporary, ephemeral things ; that men's
views and opinions, being influenced by their business
affairs and their profits, change from day to day;
and that the qualities that last, and really count,
and continue to merit our admiration and esteem
tomorrow and thereafter as well as today, are those
to which we here pay friendly homage as attributes
of James McHutchison, the man.

Western Florist Nurseryman and
Seedsman

The first issue of this monthly trade journal is on
our desk and, judging by its aims and its makeup, it
will meet with good support from all points west of
the Mississippi as well as Western Canada, the Philip-
pines and other sections bordering the Pacific. Pub-
lished in Los Angeles, Calif., at $1.50 a year, its chief
aim will be to further the interests of the horticul-
tural trade throughout the West.

No one will question that the vastness of the West
presents problems peculiar to that section and, be-
cause we believe that a well conducted trade journal
stands for, and hastens progress, we welcome our
new contemporary. Progress in the West is reflected
in the East ; ours is a vast continent, much of it
still undeveloped horticulturally. It only remains
for us in the East to hold up the laurels gained by
long experience — this applies not to ourselves alone
but for the entire horticultural industry of the East.
The call is, "Sleep not; the West is ever advancing."

"Say it with Flowers" Week for Washington

The florists of Washington, D. C, are making plans
for their "Say it with Flowers" celebration to be held
during the last week of September.

The first activity will probably be the free distribu-
tion of flowers to all the churches on Sunday, Sept.
24. On the following Tuesday, Sept. 26, it is planned
to hold the most pretentious Dahlia exhibition ever
staged in this vicinity. This exhibition will be open
to all amateurs as well as the regular florists. There
will be no entrance fee and admission to the exhibi-
tion hall will also be free.

All Dahlia growers are being urged to reserve their
fairest blooms for this occasion and there will doubt-
less be some wonderful flowers exhibited. Certificates
of merit and other prizes will be offered. The judges
will be selected from the best Dahlia experts in Balti-
more and other neighboring cities.

All persons desiring to make entries are invited to
address the Exhibition Committee of the Florists
Club of Washington, care Mr. Harry B. Lewis, secre-
tary, 713 Thirteenth St., N. W.

One of the conditions of the exhibition is that after
the judging all flowers entered will be distributed
among the sick of the various hospitals.

President O. A. C. Oehmler, of the local Florists
Club, has appointed the following committee to look
after all details: Z. D. Blackistone, chairman. Wil-
liam F. Gude, Otto Baur, Albert Schnell, A. E. Gude,
George C. Shaffer, J. Harry Ley, Henry Witt, Arthur
Elliott.

Further information and details will be published
from time to time.

Don t you find it rather lonely here?" asked Cholly, "with
nobody to talk to?" "Yes," replied the girl with a bored look
m her eyes, "and it's getting worse every minute." — The Path-
finder.

Regarding Proposed Cures for "Summer
Complaint"

Editor The Florists Exchange :

"Summer Complaint"' as outlined by Mr. Drue All-
man in the Sept. 2 issue (page 595) is a pretty gen-
eral condition and. I presume, one of the necessary
evils connected with this business. Here in Lancaster
(Pa.) not many of the so-called amateurs consign to
the commission houses, but a host of them bring their
flowers to the markets and sell direct to the con-
sumer at prices that are as variable as the weather,
being regulated wholly by the supply and the quality
of the stock. These farmers are fairly good business
men and are mutually considerate, one of the other.

You will note before the market really opens a
bunch of them walking about and taking an account
of the stock offered. If the market is oversupplied,
word will be passed and down will come the prices.
If there is only a limited supply there will be an up-
ward trend sometimes to the point of doubling the
previous week's prices.

The central market held Tuesday night and Wednes-
day morning and Friday night and Saturday morning
is the largest and in addition to a large central mar-
ket house there are at the height of the season some
six blocks of curb market. There are besides a North-
ern, a Fulton and a Southern market to supply this
City of some 50,000 people, and going through them,
one naturally wonders who uses all of the flowers
offered. Just how much of an evil these amateur
sellers are is an open question. But one thing is sure
and that is that there is no way of abolishing the
practice. The stores will simply have to counteract
it by means of service, quality and good values, as
there is always a certain proportion of buyers who
are willing to pay for these three things.

Axeert H. Heeb.

that some of the visiting nurserymen will desire to
stay over for at least a few days and witness some
of the features of that* exciting and characteristic
Kentuckian sport.

This invitation is extended to all nurserymen ir-
respective of whether they are members of the South-
ern Association or not. Mr. Fraser notes, however,
that membership in the latter organization costs but
$5 a year and frankly states that his association can
use all receipts of this sort to excellent advantage in
furthering nursery interests generally. It occurs to
us that $5 spent for membership in this organization
would be a good investment for many a nurseryman
to make.

We hope to be able to publish further details of the
program in the near future. Meanwhile, it may be
noted that the present officers are: C. A. Simpson,
Monticello, Fla., president; 0. Joe Howard, Hickory,
N. C., vice-president ; O. W. Fraser, Birmingham,
Ala., secretary and treasurer. Ou the Executive Com-
mittee, we find the familiar names of H. B. Chase,
Chase, Ala. ; Paul C. Lindley, Pomona, N. C, and
H. C. Caldwell, Atlanta, Ga.

Editor The Florists Exchange:

I have just read the article concerning a proposed
cure for "Summer Complaint'' in the florist trade.
I think that the amateur growers deserve credit for
shipping their stock to the wholesale market rather
than to trying to peddle it as some of our professional
growers are doing. In Asbury Park, N. J., the latter
go from house to house selling Gladioli for as low as
25c. per doz., and Dahlias for 15c. per doz. So, it
seems to me that some of our own (professional)
growers need to be waked up. — H. A. K.

An English Expert on the Daffodil Fly

Chas. E. Pearson, a member of the well-known nur-
sery firm of Pearsons, Lowdham, Notts, England, and
editor of the Horticultural Advertiser, writes : "Our
firm rather claims to be experts in Daffodils, and we
find that soaking three hours in water heated to 110
deg. is ample, even for the largest bulbs. We think
the bulbs as well as the eelworm or maggot will have
'gone home' if subjected to this temperature for 2-1
hours."

[We are pleased to have this matter drawn to our
attention as the period of 24 hours referred to on
page 414, Aug. 12, was given in error and, curiously
enough, was not noted by the writer thereof. Messrs.
Pearsons' experience of three hours for the largest
bulbs and less for the small ones, is important, as it
simplifies the treatment of bulbs by those who, un-
like the large English and Holland growers, have no
special machine for treating the bulbs. Messrs. Pear-
son are famous as Daffodil specialists and they have
raised great numbers of valuable novelties in the
past 20 years or so.

We would also call attention to the fact that by an
oversight, we omitted to credit the Horticultural Ad-
vertiser with the information on Peas, on page 396,
Aug. 12.— Ed.]

Southern Nurserymen's Association

0. W. Fraser, secretary and treasurer of the
Southern Nurserymen's Association, has issued a cor-
dial invitation to the members of the American Asso-
ciation of Nurserymen, the Western and Southwest-
ern Associations of Nurserymen and the Ohio and
Illinois Nurserymen's Associations to attend its own
meeting, which is to be held at Lexington, Ky., Sept.
14 and 15. He says, with good reason, that he be-
lieves Lexington offers an exceptional opportunity for
nurserymen of the Midwest to get together on ac-
count of its central location, and that therefore the
coming convention should be an event which they
will all find it profitable to attend.

The sessions will be held at the La Fayette Hotel
where those planning to attend should make reserva-
tions promptly, as the Fall racing season starts
Sept. 16 and thereafter all the hotels will certainly
be crowded. It is quite possible, as Mr. Fraser says,

New York Horticultural Society

Dahlia Show, Sept. 22 to 24

In cooperation with the New York Botanical Gar-
den, Bronx, the New York Horticultural Society will
hold a Dahlia exhibition in the Museum Building on
the above dates. The premium list provides 23 classes
for Dahlias, open to all, the leading class calling for
an exhibit covering not less than 150 sq. ft. The
prizes are $30, $20 and $10. For the best collection
of seedlings not previously shown silver and bronze
medals are offered. Classes for all types of Dahlias
and some for decorative effect are arranged and, in
addition, classes for annuals and perennials are pro-
vided. Schedules may be had from Mrs. Geo. V.
Nash, New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, N. Y.

"Opportunity Knocks," says our Nursery Depart-
ment editorial this week. Indeed it does — but don't
misinterpret the meaning of that second word. All
loo often it is because a man is making such a noise
with his own sort of "knocking" that he fails to hear
the gentle tapping of opportunity's fairy fingers.

Mrs. G. Robert Miller

We regret to record the death, on Aug. 13, of Mrs.
G. Robert Miller, wife of G. Robert Miller, manager
of the Kunzman Floral Co. of Louisville, Ky.

Mrs. Miller, before her marriage to Mr. Miller, was
the widow of C. H. Kunzman and, with him, about
25 years ago, started in the florist's business, near
the present location of the Kunzman Floral Co. They
specialized in Carnations and progressed steadily
until the death of Mr. Kunzman in 1906.

After his death, G. Robert Miller came into the
business as grower and manager, and in 190S, Mrs.
Kunzman and Mr. Miller entered a life partnership.

Mrs. Miller is survived by her husband, a son by
her first marriage, G. Harry Kunzmman, her daugh-
ter-in-law, Mrs. G. Harry Kunzman, four grandchil-
dren ; three sisters, including Mrs. Carrie Qurales,
for IS years connected with the Kunzman Floral Co.,
as bookkeeper, and a number of nieces and nephews.

The funeral services were held at the Church of
Our Lady, and she was buried in beautiful Cave Hill
Cemetery, with the following florist friends of the
family serving as pallbearers: J. S. Miller, Milton
Reimers, Louis Kirch, George E. Schulz, Joseph Able
and August R. Baumer.

Mrs. Miller was progressive in her views and be-
lieved in cooperation. She was a member of the Ken-
tucky Society of Florists and attended most of the
meetings of this society. She also attended many of
the conventions of the S. A. F. and O. H.

The business of the Kunzman Floral Co. is incor-
porated and will continue under that name for thy
present, under the management of G. Robert Miller
and G. Harry Kunzman. A. R. B.

Arthur J. Frost

Arthur J. Frost, a well-known florist of Toronto,
died Aug. 27 at his home at 545 Concord ave., To-
ronto, following an illness of two years' duration. In
floral circles he was a prominent figure having been
in business since he was eleven years of age and
having been established at the corner of Concord and
Hallam sts. for over 30 years. Pie settled there in
1892.

Mr. Frost was bom in Suffolk, England, in 1S63 ;
while still a young boy, his parents brought him to
Canada and took up residence in Toronto. In 1874
Mr. Frost commenced market gardening at the Palm
Gardens, Davenport rd. and later, at the Butterworth
Greenhouses on Howland ave. After a few years' ex-
perience, he rented these greenhouses from his em-
ployer. Later, he started business on Concord ave.,
where these are now 17,000 sq. ft. of glass and a re-
tail store as well as gardens. Since 1898 all his time
has been devoted to the growing of cut flowers and
Asparagus and Smilax for the wholesale trade.

Surviving him are his wife, who was Sarah Jane
Balmer, of Yorkshire, England ; one daughter, Mrs.
C. H. S. Hunter, of Coghlan, British Columbia, and
three sons, Arthur George and Frederick Butler, as-
sociated with him in the business, and Wm. J., all of
Toronto. G. C. K.

J. Max Nitzschke

J. Max Nitzschke, of the Astoria Florist, Inc., 2193
Broadway, New York City, died Monday, Sept. 4,
after a week's illness, aged 43 years. Mr. Nitzschke
was born in Germany, but came to this country when
young. He was for a time in the retail flower busi-
ness for himself in Philadelphia before coming to
New York City. He is survived by a widow. Funeral
services were held on Wednesday at 2 p.m. at 306
West 112th st. The interment was at Woodlawn
Cemetery. Mr. Nitzschke was a member of the New
York Florists Club.

Frank A. Knull

Frank A. Knull, president and general manager of
the Knull Floral Co., Tampa, Fla., died at his resi-
dence, 1002 27th ave., Tuesday, Aug. 29, after an ill-
ness of about three weeks. His death was caused
by a combination of heart trouble and Bright's dis-
ease, which developed while he was at Madison, Fla.,
on an automobile trip through the country in an en-
deavor to benefit his health. He was given medical
attention at Madison, but as little hope was given
even then for his recovery, the family was advised to
bring him home, which was done in accordance with
his wishes.

At the funeral, which was held on Aug. 30, at
Myrtle Hill Cemetery the pallbearers were selected
from the staff in the firm's greenhouses, all of whom
were close personal friends of the deceased. They
were Van Roe Terrel, Arthur Otto, W. A. West, J. A.
Walker, Andrew Schuber, and A. L. Taber.

Among the many floral tributes was a magnificent
large wreath of Magnolia leaves decorated with Cycas
leaves and Radiance Roses. This was sent by the
Florida State Florists Association, the chiffon tie
bearing the association's name in gold lettering, while
an attached card bore its message of sincere sym-
pathy. This piece was furnished by the floral de-
partment of the Royal Palm Nurseries at Oneco,
which deserves credit for its exquisite workmanship.
Mr. Knull was 46 years old and was born near
Larrill, Ind. He came to Florida a number of years
ago, and in 1908 established the present firm which
was successfully conducted by him until his untimely
death. Until quite recently he had active charge of
the greenhouse and farm of the company on the out-
skirts of the city. The business will be continued
under its present name by his son, William H. Knull,
and his widow who are now members of the firm.

Mr. Knull was a member of the S. A. F., was first
vice-president and a charter member of the Florida
State Florists Association, a member of the Tampa
Board of Trade, and of the Moose and Woodmen So-
cieties, and was well known throughout the local
business circles as Florida's leading florist. He is
survived by his widow and son, as mentioned above,
two sisters, Mrs. C. S. Phillips, of Fort Wayne, Ind.,
and Mrs. N. Z. Souder, of Auburn, Ind., and one
brother, C. E. Knull, of Twin Falls, Ida.

The florists of Florida have suffered a great loss
in his untimely death and will greatly miss his in-
terest and encouragement in all trade activities. That
he was universally respected and beloved throughout
the country as few men are, is evidenced by the fol-
lowing editorial which appeared in the Tampa Trib-
une on the day following his funeral :

"Frank A. Knull, who died Tuesday in this city,
was one of the class whose loss is a distinct blow to
any city. It is not every man who devotes his life to
flowers, who encourages the spreading of blossom and
verdure. For more than 14 years Mr. Knull was en-
gaged in proving to the South that Florida's botani-
cal splendor eclipsed that of any other State. His
flowers and his plants, like himself, gladdened all
about them, and many who knew him will be glad
that they can 'Say it with Flowers' at his funeral,
and know that the heart of him knows and would
have it no other way. He will be missed, and his
place will not be easily filled, for as an experimenter,
and a skilled gardener, a florist, and a friend he had
few equals in the South."

The Florists Exchange

Society of American Florists and
Ornamental Horticulturists

By John Young, Secretary, 43 W. 18th St., N. Y.

Afterthought of the Kansas City Convention

Looking back at the thirty-eighth convention of
the society, everybody interested in it has cause for
the greatest satisfaction over its successful outcome,
and it has gone down into history as one of the best
conventions the society has held. All taking part in
the work of preparation for it seem to be pleased
and happy that a big success was accomplished with-
out a hitch or the slightest suggestion of friction. The
exhibitors in the trade exhibition very generally ex-
press themselves as pleased with the amount of busi-
ness done ; and the exhibition itself was a wonderful
exposition of florists' supplies and accessories, in
spite of railroad conditions, which made it impossible
for some contemplated exhibits to arrive in time for
display.

Especial thanks of our officers and members are
due to the chairmen of the different local committees
in Kansas City and their capable fellow-workers for
their most efficient services, and to the trade in gen-
eral for their hearty support. The society's vice-
president. Samuel Murray. Executive Chairman Wil-
liam L. Rock, State Vice-president W. J. Barnes.
Chairman of the Transportation Committee. Win.
Wade. Chairman of the Entertainment Committee
E. A. Humfeld. and secretary of the Kansas City
Florists Club, Glenn K. Parker, would appear to have
devoted to the society their entire time for weeks in
advance of the convention and during convention
week, in order that every detail planned should be
properly carried out.

Too much praise could hardly be given Frank M.
Robinson, secretary of the Convention Bureau of the
Chamber of Commerce, who, though handicapped by
two broken legs, sustained in an automobile accident
while in St. Louis several weeks ahead of the con-
vention, insisted upon visiting Convention Hall to
see that, insofar as his bureau was concerned every-
thing arranged for had been taken care of. He made
the Savoy Hotel his headquarters during the three
days' sessions, and was continually in touch with the
secretary.

William Symons, who has charge of the Publicity
Department of the Convention Bureau, not only took
care of the publicity work, but assumed the duties of
Mr. Robinson in an executive way, and was present
during the whole of the convention, becoming affec-
tionately known to all of the officials as just plain
"Bill" Symons.

The report of the proceedings of the board of direc-
tors at the Spring meeting, printed and distributed
at the convention, was, as usual, rather voluminous.
It has been customary to make this report as brief
as possible, while aiming to include all essential de-
tails. One particular matter, it would seem, might
have been presented a little more fully, and that was
in connection with the Publicity Campaign, page S of
the report. In the discussion noted on that page Mr.
Aimnaim is reported to have stated in effect that the
campaign "had a good working capital," while his
remarks really implied that the "Society had a good
working capital." In the discussion on "Publicity"
which formed an important part of the proceedings,
the matter of financial assistance from the society
itself was a feature, and was the subject matter of
the paragraph referred to. As a result of this dis-
cussion the directors passed a resolution unanimously
deciding that in future the expenses of the Publicity
Campaign be paid from the society's general fund —
and this is really as it should be, for up to the pres-
ent time the society has not contributed one dollar of
actual cash to the campaign. It is true that at the
St. Louis convention $5000 was appropriated, and at
the Detroit convention another $5000 was voted to
the campaign, but when the Publicity Committee real-
ized that the general fund was short of cash, and
could not afford to pay these appropriations, the two
amounts, which had been provided and partly used,
were returned to the treasury of the society. While
the society has not subscribed anything toward the
Publicity Campaign, an amount equaling $3000 has
been contributed yearly from the funds raised or sub-
scribed, the same to go toward the maintenance of
the Administration Office, from which the campaign
was promoted and is conducted. This matter was
taken into consideration by the Budget Committee,
which consisted of Herman P. Knoble, Paul Kling-
sporn and Treasurer J. J. Hess, and the estimated
budget of receipts and disbursements for the current
year, which was approved by the convention assem-
bled in Kansas City, provided that the new arrange-
ment as to expense should prevail. The details of the
budget as submitted by this committee were as fol-
lows :

Approximate Disbursements for the Year

Traveling expenses of officials $600.00

Printing and stationery 1,000.00

Officers' salaries 5,300.00

Clerical assistance 3,000.00

Expenses for State vice-presidents 500.00

Light, heat, telephone and telegraph 300.00

Membership drive 500.00

Office expenses 500 00

Postage 500.00

Furniture and fixtures 300 00

Rent 7S0.00

Tariff and legislation 200.00

Miscellaneous 750.00

Making a total of $14,230.00

And the estimated annual income was based on the
following :

Annual dues $7,000.00

Initiation, new members 2,500.00

Income from investments 2,400.00

Income from convention 5,000.00

$16,900.00

The expenses of the Publicity Campaign are thus
included, and the appropriation of $3000 usually set
aside as coming from the funds of the Publicity Cam-
paign are uot included in these figures. Indications
are that while the expenses of the society will not
exceed the amount estimated, the receipt's will un-
doubtedly be more than has been suggested. The
$2500 appropriation voted by the convention in Kan-
sas City to the Publicity Campaign will be used en-
tirely for national advertising.

In the list of deceased members noted in the report
of the Committee on Memorials presented at the con-
vention, the date of the death of J. E. McAdams,
Fort Worth, Texas— Oct. 31, 1921— was omitted, but
will be printed in the official proceedings.

The Next Convention

The next convention, which will be held in Hart-
ford. Conn., comes later in the month than did the
Kansas City meeting. The dates are Aug. 21, 22 and
23. At this early date prospective exhibitors in the
trade section are inquiring for particulars as to the
hall and accommodation, which indicated that the
1923 convention will be thoroughly in keeping with
the exhibitions of previous years. Wallace R. Pierson.
Cromwell, Conn., vice-president elect, is already busy
oil preliminary preparations, and it goes without say-
ing that the Hartford convention is likely to break all
records for interest and attendance.

The S. A. F. in Florida in 1921

Being the Report of State Vice-President S. W.
Fletcher at the Kansas City Convention

The year in Florida has shown a steady increase in
volume of business in the florist's line. A number of
new places have been started and all report an en-
couraging trade. Florida, the oldest State in the
Lmon in settlement, but the latest in development, is
now making rapid strides in all matters horticultural.

The year has been marked by two very encouraging
events. One was the increase in membership of the
S. A. F. and O. H. from 16 on May 1 to 35 at the pres-
ent time. The other was the organization of the Florida
State Florists Association, starting with a membership
of 13 last November and now rapidly approaching the
^00 mark. This is an enthusiastic and active society,
largely responsible for placing Florida on the map flori-
culturally. I understand there are now 19 States with
a lower membership than Florida in our national so-
ciety.

The growing of Asparagus plumosus sprays for ship-
ping shows an increase estimated at 25 per cent dur-
ing the past two years. The total area under shade,
devoted to this culture, is estimated at 300 acres The
matters of cooperative advertising and selling are be-
ing agitated. This should, of course, include standard
grading, as far as possible.

During the past year we have welcomed the coming
of a number raf florists from the Northern States There
is room for more But conditions are so different from
those of the Middle West, New England, and other sec-
tions, that a word of caution is advisable. It would
be time well spent by a newcomer to work for a vear
for some established florist, even if the wages were
small. A good motto would be: "I will try to learn at
east one new thing each week and try to forget at
least two that I thought I knew."

Minnesota State Fair

We are in receipt of a preliminary report of the
exhibition conducted by the Horticultural Depart-
ment of the Minnesota State Fair at Hamline, Minn
Sept. 2 to 9.

It is stated that there were about 200 vases in the
floral classes for professional growers, in which a
special feature was an exhibit of Gladioli made by
Holm & Olson, who were awarded the American Glad-
iolus Society medal, in addition to many firsts and sec-
onds. The awards in the professional class, were as

Early Tulips for Forcing

The Holland correspondent of the Horticultural
Advertiser (British) gives some good advice on the
above subject. In part he says :

Some florists don't unpack the bulbs directly after
arrival anil this may lead to bad results. The bulbs,
although dry and in a resting condition, are living
products, and during the journey they are sweating,
which makes the packing materials more or less
moist. Therefore it is of high importance to unpack
the bulbs directly, not only out of the boxes, but also
out of the papers hi which they are ofteu packed. If
this has been done they must not be brought in an
empty glasshouse, as this is too warm and too dry.
A much better place is a rather cool room, where
the temperature during the first days does not rise
above 65 deg. Fahr., and later on till potting time,
not higher than 60 deg. Fahr.

After potting the bulbs must be placed iu a pit,
and this should not be in a very sunny position and
not too dry. If the position is too sunny, the de-
velopment of the flowers is hindered, and if too dry,
the development will be irregular.

The soil which is to be used for covering the bulbs
must be a really pure one, which has never before
been used for the culture of bulbs.

In the warm houses the temperature may be as
high as 75 deg. Fahr., but for forcing before' Christ-
mas, the bulbs must be kept in the dark until the
flower-bud has risen above the bulb.

The best varieties for early forcing, also before
Christmas, are besides the Due van Tholl's, of which
Scarlet Due is the best, Montresor, a very easy pure
yellow: King of the Yellow, flowers more or less egg-
shaped; Brilliant Star, scarlet; Fred Moore, terra
cotta; Pottebakker. white; Proserpine, satiny car-
mine rose; Thomas Moore, buff orange; and Rose
Precose, of the single ones. Of the double early Tu-
lips, we only recommend for early forciug: Couronne
d'Or, yellow, shaded orange; El Toreador, reddish
orange, with golden edges; Salvator Rosa, rosy; and
Tournesol Yellow.

We can force nearly all early Tulips for just after
Christmas, but the following are for cutting and
color purposes the best: Flamingo, rose; Cerise Gris
de Lin, rosy violet, white edged ; Chrysolora, yellow ;
Cramoise Brilliant, fiery carmine red : Herman
Schlegel, sulphur; Hobbema, grayish lilac, tinted
orange, very beautiful ; Keizerskroon, scarlet with
yellow edge; La Reine, white; McKinley, very beau-
tiful orange inside; Max Havelaar, orange; Pelikoou,
pure white; Pink Beauty, rose and white; Prince of
Austria, orange red; Rose of Dehama, rose; Rose
Gris-de-lin, rose.

Doubles : Imperator rubrorum, red ; Le Matador,
red; Murillo, soft rose; Tearose, sulphur and yellow;
Schoonoord. pure white ; Boule de Neige, pure' white ;
Golden King, pure yellow; Mr. v. d. Hoeff, golden
yellow ; Peach Blossom, fine rose ; and Electra, deep
carmine red. These do not include the very expen-
sive new varieties.

The "Plan to Plant Another Tree" idea has already
been expanded from time to time to admit the plac-
ing of emphasis ou fruit trees. In view of the exten-
sive and varied program prepared for the three day
convention of the Northern Nut Growers Association
held this past week at Rochester, N. Y.. the tree
planting slogan should also, now and then, give a
thought to nut trees. Not only have they many at-
tributes of beauty, hardiness, etc., but also they offer
distinct possibilities of financial profit. With the
progress made by the energetic members of the
above organization in the direction of improved sorts
and better cultural methods, nut culture is rapidly
becoming a stable and reliable activity.

"Southward Ho!"

(Continued from page 649)

hour and when we were not loafing on deck we could
be found In the comfortable smoking room, investi-
gating the mysteries of poker and saying bad things
about Volstead, for the good and sufficient reason
that the three mile limit brought no relief, nothing
i but near beer. If I had my way. I'd dump that Mr.
Volstead into that heap of diamondbaeks.

"A Life on the Ocean Wave"

The sea was as smooth as glass all the way and
I after passing Cape Hatteras we could feel the "south-
ern breeze and notice any number of flying fish. The
[ cuisine on board was excellent, there were just enough
j passengers to make it pleasant, and everybody soon
got acquainted with everybody else. All of the first and
j second days and until the morning of the third, we
I were at sea. Our bunch (w.hom everybody called the
j pirates) stuck together and had a high old time. The
; flappers, of whom there were quite a few. played
music or murdered the melody of love songs in the
saloon, when not hiding in some nook with likely
looking chappies.

A Day in Charleston, S. C.

Early on the morning of the third day we made
the harbor of Charleston, docked at nine o'clock and
promptly made for the city. Here we got the first
glimpse of Southern vegetation : palms, Bananas and
a great variety of strange plants growing in the gar-
dens aDd parks. The city is rather quaint and old-
fashioned in the business part, with some very fine
stores and public buildings. The outskirts show many
fine residences ; estates and gardens are everywhere.
These took my eye more than anything else, display-
ing as they did such a wealth of strange plants and
flowers. I admired the great Oleanders, Bamboos
and beautiful palms and even more the grand Mag-
nolias, Bays and Ginkgo trees, the Hibiscus. Allaman-
das, Bougainvilleas and Clerodendrons. All these sub-
jects which we, in the North, grow laboriously in
greenhouses, here grow luxuriantly, although I was
to see them in still greater perfection down in Florida.
All the same the impression was more than satisfac-
tory. I liked especially the Crape Myrtle, Lager-
stroemia indica, which flouted its handsome pink ra-
I cemes in front and back yards. The many and various
1 climbers, rambling over walls and fences were also
; quite interesting. The atmosphere, sky, landscape and
i all were already quite different from those of New
■ England ; seven out of every ten people one met
I were darkies, and vegetables in the stores are dirt

• cheap. Great, big Watermelons, 10c. each, by the
thousands: Tomatoes, 20c. or 25c. per peck and' Alli-

, gator Pears offered in every grocery store by the
j bushel!

My friend and I promptly made for a refreshment

emporium and called for a Pilsener. Near beer is on
I tap in drug and ice cream stores, in grocery stores

and at news stands and all brands are to be had. from
'• Schlitz to Budweiser or Pilsener and a dozen others.

Charleston's Florist Shops

Well, we killed a few, had a shave, and then called

on the florist stores, of which the Art Floral Co.'s

is probably the most prominent. This is a large, neat,

j uptodate place, presided over by Miss Britton, a most

• pleasant and capable young lady who received the
i representative of The Florists Exchange most gra-
| ciously. She is ably assisted by Mrs. C. M, Newman
| and Frank Kummer. the latter being the oldest florist
! in Charleston. The store is doing a fine business, and

I noticed Roses, Carnations, Dahlias, Zinnias, Cos-
, mos and Tuberoses b^ing used in funeral pieces and
I bouquets. The store has its own greenhouses a little
: way out in the country, but I had no time to see them.
This store, as well as that of the Magnolia Floral Co.,
! The Carolina Floral Store and T. T. Bolger, compare
I favorably with almost any store in Boston. F. T. D.
business is an important factor with all these stores,
; mainly on account of the great Navy Yard situated
, here. Unfortunately for the city this great institu-
tion is to be done away with and the city feels in-
| tensely sore about it, as a lot of trade will lie taken
away. The commercial and social life of the city
will be sadly disarranged. I would not give one cent
for all the local votes the present Government is go-
ing to get at the next elections.

The steamer took us away from Charleston at 4 p.m.
heading for Jacksonville. Toward night and almost
till midnight we noticed a great thunderstorm which
was raging away inland and which provided us with
a grandiose display of ferocious lightning, beautiful
to behold. Next day I saw by the papers that the
storm did a lot of damage in New York, all along the
Atlantic Coast and in New England. Meanwhile our
ship sailed along peacefully and we settled down to
our last game and called for the remaining bottles.

S. A. F. & O. H. Contention, Kansas City, Mo., August 15 to 17, 1922

Exhibit of the Missouri Pottery Company, Kansas City

A display that showed unusual artistic thoughtfulness and resulted in the demonstrating of
an unpoetic subject in a strikingly poetic way was that of the Missouri Pottery Co. Pots'are
plain and sober, even imbeautiful, one might say, even though their lines may be graceful and
their color attractive with a liveliness and freshness that appeals. These pots had the attrac-
tiveness of their natural state, with the added charm of plants growing in them.

The flowers were not, however, shown in the pots merely for the sake of their beauty; there
was a very practical reason for the arrangement. The display was intended to demonstrate
the quality of the pots and the characteristics that make them specially favorable resting places
for the growing plants.

The plants were grown in these pots by Adolph D. Mohr of Kansas City, and Mrs. Mohr was
present to add the charm of her personality to the attractiveness and interest of the display
which reflected much credit upon the exhibitor, Lincoln Messick, owner of the pottery company]
and Mr. and Mrs. Mohr. It called for real cooperation, and must have been arranged some time'
befote the convention. The plants shown were Begonias, especially luminosa, Cyclamen
Hydrangeas, ferns and Cinerarias.

Next morning I was on deck by daybreak just as land
began to appear and the steamer approached the
mouth of the St. John's River.

Up the St. John's to Jacksonville

I shall never forget the panorama which unfolded
itself through a thin blue mist. A glorious sunrise
gilded the glassy surface of the bay and, literally,
thousands and thousands of porpoises gamboled in
front and at the sides of the ship, while in the clear
air, overhead soared huge birds, slowly and majes-
tically. A deliciously cool breeze enfolded all. The
entrance to the river reveals a new world to the
Northern eye. The flat, even coast line, first far off
and gradually drawing nearer, is encroached upon
by forests of Southern Pine and palms in clusters or
long rows. Villages and towns appear, also numerous
islands as the steamer winds its way around one bend
after another. Jacksonville lies some 20 miles up the
river and the passage from its mouth to the city,
early in the morning, is a revelation of almost, un-
earthly beauty. To drink in the balmy air, to feast
the eye on the imposing forests of rich Southern ver-
dure, or to behold the broad, low green Savannahs
and the placid, slow moving water, with its shore
lines of glistening white sand is a novel and over-
powering experience for the man accustomed only to
the bolder outlines and scantier vegetation of more
Northern climes.

The St. John's River is one of the very few rivers
on this globe whose course runs due North. It is a
magnificent stream and has for about one hundred
miles a width of not less than three miles, often
widening to double this distance. After a ride of two
hours past landscapes each more charming and tropi-
cal looking than the other, the steamer rounds the
last bend and the city of Jacksonville is seen in the
distance. Great wharfs, sawmills, fertilizer factories,
petroleum docks and lumber depots are situated on
either side of the noble river for miles before the city
is reached, but at last these give way to splendid resi-
dences hidden among the tropical vegetation and be-
hind the giant Live and Water Oaks, which are
draped with the strange looking Spanish Moss. A
little farther and the skyscrapers of Jacksonville are
in front of you. also the great new bridge, and the
steamer is being warped to the dock. We are in
Florida.

Importing vs. Growing Ericaceous Plants

Editor The Florkts Exchange:

In reply to your query on page 61S (Sept. 2) as
to how Rhododendrons, Acer palmatum and Azalea
pontics can be imported without soil, this would de-
pend entirely on the size of the plants. If not too
large they would carry readily packed in damp moss;
and if sufficiently long on the way they would pro-
duce roots therein.

I have collected and handled plants of many de-
scriptions (from the Adirondacks. throughout' the
Pennsylvania and Blue Ridge Mountains "and down
through South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. I have
planted them with and without soil after having car-
ried them around for weeks, during which they "stood
conditions they would never meet with on a trip
across the water when properly packed. It all de-
pends on how they are handled by the man who gets
them.

There is a lot of "bunk"' being written about this
quarantine business. Anything that can be grown in
any other country can be grown in one section or an-
other of this country, as well as it can elsewhere.
Rhododendrons. Azaleas and Acers can be grown from
seed as readily as Mustard and Cress. "The Acers
germinate freely when sown outdoors in the cold
sections of Illinois and Northern Michigan, and can
lie grown anywhere and by anyone, without any par-
ticular horticultural knowledge. Who sowed and
grew the tens of thousands of acres of Rhododen-
drons, Kalmias. Azaleas, and hundreds of other
plants in the Southern mountains? If owners of
large estates would compel their gardeners to grow
more of this class of materials it would prove what
can be done and take out of the field some who are
more interested in their profits than in the real ad-
vance of horticulture.

Among the Growers

A peep into some of the greenhouses
last week revealed preparations on the
way for Winter. Carnations in some
places are just benched; in others, as at
Ritchie's, they have been in for quite
some time and have had their first tie to
the wires, with some fairly good flowers
being produced.

Mr. Ritchie is a firm believer in early
housing, and cited a case where a cut of
25 blooms per plant had been obtained.
Enchantress is still grown as the best all
around pink. Matchless as a white is still
unequalled. Ward is preferred to Lassie
by some. Benora, Belle Washburn and
Beacon are still in the running in some
establishments. We never saw stock look-
ing better. The Lily bulbs are being re-
ceived. Paperwhite Narcissi, Mr. Ritchie
states, are not now profitable to handle.
Pansies were being planted out for the
Spring trade.

A novelty that attracted the eye was
Sutton's quilled Zinnias in some new
shades of coloring. Stumpp & Walter's
Chrysanthemum-flowered Zinnias were
also very good. Query: Why could not
these be forced as is done with Calen-
dulas? At Ritchie's everything appears in
order, moving forward toward perfection.
A weed of recent introduction, however,
Galinsoga parciflora, gives trouble and
causes a constant use of the hoe to keep
it in subjection. It being a native of
Peru, it wilts at the first touch of frost.

At Robert Dun's we found one house
being widened to make room for Cycla-
men. Carnations are his main crop.

John Chase, Tilley ave., benches up
late, yet his plants look very well. He
still believes in planting on raised benches.
Enchantress Supreme is his favorite pink.
Philadelphia, rose-pink, and Hope Hen-
shaw, dark pink, are on trial. For white,
White Enchantress and Matchless are the
dependables. Thomas Joy and Harvester
are on trial. Alexander MacLellan.

A New Dust Spray for Aphis

There are many who, like ourselves,
have longed for a really effective battery
of powder insecticides and fungicides, par-
ticularly for outside use. Dust sprays of
one kind and another have long been in
use, although it is only in recent years
that large power dusting machines have
been available for the orchardist and field
worker.

Dry vs. Wet Spraying

In the way of fungicides we have yet
a long way to go, although a fair amount
of success has been attained with powder
bordeaux mixtures and also with sulphur
powders. But in recent years powder in-
secticides have advanced, and with the
advent of small and effective blowers their
use has become more general in gardens
and on outdoor stock generally.

The advantage of powder sprays over
wet sprays is manifold, although perhaps
disadvantageous when flowers are opening.
The wet spraying of large areas calls for
big machines and the hauling of much
water, whereas with powder no apparatus
beyond the blower is required, and for
small acreages it is possible to do the
work quite well with a good knapsack
pattern. Even in the garden the wet'
sprayer is a source of annoyance, for a
knapsack sprayer requires frequent filling,
and unless fitted with an adjustable
nozzle it is not possible to get at the
under side of the foliage. With powder
one can take up the blower and with a
puff knock out an isolated colony of aphis,
whereas with liquid one has first to mix
it, entailing perhaps the use of a gallon
when a pint only is needed.

The Original Nicotine Powder

One of the most ancient of powders used
in horticulture for^ combating insects is
Tobacco dust; nothing has ever been dis-
covered to surpass nicotine products for
the purpose of fighting insects of the soft
bodied type, and it is not too much to
say that Tobacco dust can accomplish
equally as much as many more expensive
commodities. But it is not fine enough in
all cases, and like most insecticides kills
only by contact, so that its effectiveness
is controlled by the manner in which it is
applied.

The many forms of aphis probably cause
the gardener and farmer more trouble
than any other pest; they are almost al-
ways at work, and few forms of plant life

are immune to them. Not only do they
injure the growth, by sucking the plant
juices, but like the mosquito they are car-
riers of disease. The mysterious mosaic
is almost always introduced by aphis.

New Jersey on the Job

Dr. T. J. Headlee and Dr. W. Rudolfs
of the New Jersey Experiment Station,
New Brunswick, have long been trying to
find a means of combating the Potato and
Tomato aphis. Liquid sprays would not
reach all the pests, because the plants
lay on the ground, so that new colonies
of aphis were quick to develop. Dust
sprays failed largely for the same reasons.
It was, however, found that nicotine
would kill aphis by vapor alone, apart
from contact, so the experimenters set
to work to find a dust carrier for nicotine
which would yield up a greater percentage
of its nicotine content than any ordi-
nary nicotine dust. All nicotine dusts
contain but a small proportion of pure
nicotine. Mixtures of colloidal and erys-
tal-loidal and nicotine were tried out, and
it was found that very fine magnesium
limestone made an excellent carrier. In-
stead of the usual 40 per cent nicotines
being used, nicotine 92 to 97 per cent pure
were used, and when mixed with 80 times
its own weight of lime the nicotine was
evaporated at such a rate no one could
stand against its fumes to mix it unless
done in a closed mixer. The two in-
gredients are ground in a special machine
lor an hour, and normally contain 1%
to iy2 per cent pure nicotine.

The colloidal carrier, which is a form
of clay, is not so quick in releasing its
nicotine; it has the power to retail it over
a longer period.

Best Used in Hot Weather

These powders are best applied during
hot weather and when no ram threatens
for 48 hours. The hotter the weather the
more nicotine gas is released, and the
greater the execution among aphis. In
New Jersey, when the temperature is 80
deg. and humidity 73, this dust in 48 hours
will give off 39 per cent of its nicotine
content. No ordinary commercial nicotine
dust will give off above 14 per cent of its
nicotine content. When the humidity is
less than 1 per cent, with the temperature
80, the new powder will yield 70 per
cent of its nicotine in gas form, a gas sq
strong that aphis in its radius have little
chance of escaping.

Tests so far have suggested that the
lime mixture is best for trees, while the
colloidal or dolomite mixture is better
suited to ground crops.

lue Hightstown Hardware Co., N. J.,
during the present Summer, have been
manufacturing the dolomite mixture, and
that the trucli farmers have appreciated
being able to obtain it ready mixed is
proved by the fact that it has sold over
60 tons of the material under the name
of Axfixo.

A Gas Mask Almost Needed

We have been favored with a sample of
Axfixo and we can readily believe that
it will kill any kind of aphis, as well as
many kinds of beetles. We have tried it
on black, green and red aphis with deadly
results, although it has not been easy to
choose a period when rain was 48 hours
distant.

Florists and nurserymen as well as
gardeners will certainly find Axfixo a
powerful aid, but owing to its asphixiating
fumes, the user of it will do well to
keep on the windward side. Indeed, one
almost needs a respirator or a gas mask,
for the fumes as well as the powder, if
breathed to any extent, will assuredly give
one a sick feeling if nothing worse. Under
glass this powder will doubtless be highly
effective, but it should not be used where
moisture abounds, as much of the nicotine
gas will be lost. Only where it comes into
contact with the. insects will it prove
effective under such conditions.

Portland, Ore.

Trade Notes

Aug. 31. — Cooler weather has con-
siderably stimulated business and there is
again call for social flowers. There are
quite a number of prominent weddings
scheduled for September, and, coupled
with school days the first week in Sep-
tember, all will be ship-shape for regular
business again. The recent rain has cut
many a belated vacation short, and
keeping up with tradition old "Jupe" will
continue with the administration of mois-
ture until after Labor Day.

The flower situation is just the same as
a week ago. Roses are improving daily,
and some new crop Carnations are to be
had. Peas have had a little too much

moisture, and for the time being fail to
show up. Bouvardia is also again on deck.

The out of town demand has sprung up
as if by magic, and many wholesale grow-
ers are skirmishing around to get stock
to satisfy calls. This has a very good
effect on the local market and even though
there is a huge crop of Gladioli there is
no cutting of the wholesale price. Con-
trarily, the retail grower is the aggressor;
we have him selling Glads, at retail for
wholesale prices. The shops generally pay
no attention to price cutting, but those
that are neighbors so to speak are the
most affected.

Ferns have commenced to move in
earnest, and a very good demand for all
kinds of potted stock is prophesied. Prim-
roses are also in the market in goodly
numbers. This again proves that show-
ing a single plant of a kind rarely attracts
a buyer, whereas quantities shown in the
window invariably attract the public at-
tention. Palms and Rubbers are also
taken to more kindly.

News Notes

Fred Young has his delivery truck
all painted up, and from the looks of
tilings it cannot be noticed that it recently
was very much wrecked by another car
which tried to tear the rear end off and
succeeded in turning it over on its side.
Luckily, Don Wadsworth the driver at the
time, was unhurt with the exception of
a few minor bruises. Fred reports the
Fall business as opening up fine. He is
cutting quantities of Roses, and the first
of his Carnations are appearing.

Tne V an Kirk Floral Co. had half of
its boiler shed destroyed by fire recently.
It is thought that a prowler entered and
helped himself to some clothes that were
in the shed at the time, and in throwing
away a match he, accidentally or other-
wise, set things on tire. Nevertheless, it
is better to nave your boiler shed burn
in Summer than in Winter.

Gordon J. Goman of the Goman Green-
house Co. is a trade visitor from Cen-
tralia. He is looking the field over to
get a line on Fall stock.

From the reports of the gang that was
fortunate enough to have been present at
the Tacoma-Seattle florists' picnic a few
weeks ago, all had a great and wonderful
time. We see Sealy Ponieroy commonly
called the "Gray Hound," copped first in
the free for all men's race. It is rumored
that James Forbes wanted to take the
tug-of-war cup to Portland, but it turned
out that spiritually he was all right, but
? — . Wm. Farenbacher had his rabbit's
foot with him, and he said if he had had
a machine it would have taken all the
room to move his winnings to Portland.
What we know here is that the bunch
came back so sleepy that those with big
feet slept at the bench on Monday.

A the recent meeting of the Florists
Club the committees for the ensuing year
w'ere named, and let's hope that naming
them will be more than a mere presiden-
tial act of putting them to bed and letting
them sleep for a solid year. Let's also
hope that when five are named on a com-
mittee, five and not one will function.
We are sure that George has worked
overtime already.

Mr. Amend, the Fig enthusiast, and let
it be said that we tasted some of his
own growing, gave the club a talk on
Figs, and we can see why Mr. Amend is
working in conjuction with the U. S.
Department of Agriculture and is sup-
plied with all varieties that are obtain-
able. He made the astounding statement
that he hoped to see Figs as one of the
staple crops of this territory. Mr. Amend
shows just what can be done when a com-
prehensive study and a great deal of en-
thusiasm and hard work is put into a
thing, and proves that he has the pains-
taking ability, so much lacking in our
modern civilization of looking by the road
side and studying, one might say, more
for the professional pride than profit. He
says that immigrants that come from Fig
raising countries have been glowing them
in their backyards for 20 years or more,
but their zealous guarding of their plants
and the personal jealousy or unwillingness
to let the rest enjoy some of the much
desired fruit, the earliest fruit in history,
has made the study of the Fig very diffi-
cult. He now has three Figs that are
suitable to this climate, and he says
there will soon be a commercial start
made to grow them in quantity. Mr.
Amend is master of his subject, and his
talk was very much appreciated.

While reporting wrecks, let's not over-
look Clarke Bros., who had a Ford
crippled for awhile, and as usual the other
fellow was to blame. Mr. and Mrs. Clarke
and Mr. and Mrs. Steele spent several
days at Mt. Rainier National Park after
attending the florists' picnic of the Seattle
and Tacoma Florists Clubs. H. N.

The Florists Exchange

Fort Wayne, Ind.

Business continues rather slow, owing
to the quantities of garden flowers avail-
able: also to strike situation.

Fort Wayne has experienced some ex-
tremely hot weather during the past
week, which does not tend to increase
business.

Gladioli and Asters retain their lead
on the market.

Eoses are plentiful, but the demand is
poor. Choice flowers are very scarce, but
the market is overcrowded with ordinary
stock and prices are low.

Ralph Tinkham, florist, took care of
several house and table decorations this
last week. A. B.

The Market

Heavy electrical storms damaged
the outdoor flowers during the past week
and laid low many promising Glads and
Asters as well as the many other less
meritorious stock.

Roses are improving with the cooler
nights and the price has stiffened a trifle.
White Roses were scarce over the week
end and Valley and orchids were much
in demand, but scarcely any to be had.
Carnations are scarce and of poor quality.
Glads continue to flood the market and
Asters are better; the Aster bug has evi-
dently migrated elsewhere.

Greens are not quite so plentiful and
plants in bloom are simply not to be
had.

Cleveland Florists Club

The regular meeting of the Flo-
rists Club was set back a week on account
of Labor Day and will be held on Mon-
day, Sept. 11 at the Hollenden. Every
member should be in attendance to cast
his vote for the new officers for the com-
ing year.

Kansas City, Mo.

Retail business during the past week
was fairly good, it is reported by florists.
Several large funerals in the past week
have stimulated the business. Many $50,
$75 and $100 double sprays were bought.

Flowers are plentiful at this time.
Prices, too, are holding up well. Summer
flowers are on the decline, especially be-
cause of the unusually dry weather in
August. August was the driest month
which this section has had in thirteen
years. Consequently, outdoor flowers are
practically at an end. Greenhouse Roses
are plentiful. Some fine specimens are
being cut at the Longview and Franzen
farms. Roses and Lilies constitute _ the
main supply of flowers at this time.
Some Carnations are coming in now.
These are quite small and short stemmed.
With cooler weather they will improve,
it is said. Carnations are priced at $1.50
and $2 per doz.

A good many hospital bouquets are sold
at this time, especially mixed bouquets
at $2 and up. Arthur Newell, florist,
makes up a hospital bouquet which physi-
cians recommend. Practically no ferns
have been sold this Summer, principally
because so many people are out of the city
on vacations. Those who have remained
in town have been outdoors to such an
extent that improvements in their homes
have not had much attention.

With the cooler months, more thought
will _ be given to beautifying the home.
Florists who carry bird cages and fern-
eries expect an increase in business in this
line with the Fall.

Wholesalers report that business has
held up fairly well. The Stuppy Supply
Co. has had some good out of town orders,
according to Glenn K. Parker, manager,
especially on some fine Celosia which has re-
cently been brought in. The company
will move by Sept. 15 from 1020 Oak to
1012 Oak, first floor. Second floor loca-
tions have a disadvantage which Mr.
Parker feels will be overcome when the
company is situated downstairs. The
supply house will have the basement as
well as the first floor at its new location.

The Stuppy Co. is shipping to the Chicago
and St. Louis markets, and is sending good
sized orders of Celosia to Wichita.

The T. J. Noll Floral Co. is stimulating
its business by making special offers to
the trade. Mr. Noll is also sending out
supply lists at this time. The number of
pages in his lists show how his stock of
supplies has grown. The list which was
formerly about two and one-half pages in
length now exceeds five pages. Mr. Noll
looks forward to unusually good business
this Fall, especially so in view of the
added supply of Carnations and Roses
which will be placed on the Kansas City
market this Fall, because of the new grow-
ers in this section. Three houses at Leeds
have added Carnations. Thirty-five thou-
sand additional plants will supply the
market here this year. Two large houses
at Independence have planted a total of
about 25,000 or 30,000 Rose plants.

Arthur Newell is in Minnesota fishing
and spending a wholly enjoyable and
necessary vacation. He has not said when
he will return.

Mr. Isherwood of the Isherwood Floral
Co. of Chillieothe, Mo., was in the market
during the past week.

Carl Hagermeyer of Paola, Kan., has
purchased some new smokestacks for his
greenhouses. B. S. B.

St. Paul, Minn.

Trade Notes

Business conditions in the Twin
Cities during July and August were very
dull, even funeral work has been far be-
low the average; flower buyers have been
nil. Market gardeners growing outside
flowers, have sold first class Gladioli at
75o. per 100, and Asters had to be ex-
ceptionally good to realize $1 per 100.
The legitimate florist has thrown out
bench after bench of stock, and it is only
during the past week that an improvement
has been noticed. Outside stock has short-
ened up owing to the dry spell, and con-
ditions are returning to normal.

A few Chrysanthemums have made their
appearance on the market, but there is
small demand as yet. Asters are coming
on good. Roses are of better quality, and
demand a little heavier. Greenhouse stock
all through this section is in splendid con-
dition, and business for the Autumn looks
favorable.

The outlook for greenhouse heating in
the Northwest is more assuring to the
small grower than a few weeks previous.
While the fuel question is serious, there
is less anxiety than with the larger grow-
ers. While the Northwest was at the
mercy of railroads, shipping and miners'
measures appear to have been taken to
safeguard our section. There is a large
supply of coke in various grades, that in
case of emergency could be procured, also
a large supply of the various grades of
bituminous screenings. There appears to
be enough on hand to supply the entire
trade in this section. Failing this, as a
last resort, lignite could be procured, and
while it is not entirely satisfactory, it
would keep out frost. None of the florists
are worrying about procuring fuel; the
concern is the price. However, similar
conditions have existed before. About 20
years ago there was a State wide short-
age and many had to burn wood.

There are two firms in the Twin Cities
supplying oil burning equipment, but only
for residences at present; one or more
have been offered to the trade, but the
cost of installation has been exceptionally
high, and while they claim it dispenses
with the services of a watchman, thereby
showing a profit, there are few florists
who would care to leave his houses un-
watched at all times. Weighing the mat-
ter carefully, provided that fuel can be
obtained, there seems no warrant for the
installation of oil burners at the present
cost. E. C. T.

Missouri Opinions on the Trade
Outlook

Interesting conclusions as to the active
participation of florists in their industry as
an industry are gleaned from a recent
Kansas City experience in gathering sta-
tistics. .

One might presume that every florist
and other person, directly or indirectly
connected with the business, would be glad
to cooperate in securing accurate data for
the guidance of those concerned. But evi-
dently most people live for themselves
alone, plodding along in their own ruts
and willing to let others plod along as
best they can without outside assistance.

One class of people, who obviously do
recognize the value of statistics, and

who are willing to help in their compila-
tion is the members of a national associa-
tion. _ Any man who belongs to such an
association realizes that his experience
and opinions are valuable to the others,
and is willing to pass the word along.

This fact was strikingly demonstrated
when W. J. Barnes, vice-president of the
S. A. F. and 0. H. for Western Missouri,
sent questionnaires to 265 florists (retail-
ers and growers ) , nurserymen and others
in the business throughout Missouri. He
received only 23 answers — less than 10
per cent, but of the 23 who answered, 17
said they were members of the Society
of American Florists. Ten of the 23 were
also members of the F. T. D. A.

If there were no other advantage at-
tendant upon membership in the national
organization, the fact that it makes pos-
sible a desirable exchange of information
and the collection of data, would amply
justify it. The people in the organization
are those who see real value in the sta-
tistics of the trade.

The following is a summary of the 23
answers made to the questions sent by Mr.
Barnes reflecting to some extent the con-
ditions in the State:

1. Condition of business. — Poor, 2; fair,
9; good, 7. Increased business, 9; de-
creased, 4.

2. Amount of new glass this year
(total).— 155,900 sq. ft.

3. Number of people regularly employed.
—211.

4. Fuel situation. — Bad, 5; poor, 6;
fair, 1; good, 4.

5. Member of S. A .F.— Yes, 17; no, 3.
Member of F. T. D. A.— Yes, 10; no, 4.

6. Do you want to join the S. A. F. and
O. H. ? — No answers.

7. What is your opinion of the florist
business for the coming Winter and
Spring? — Good, 8; fair, 10; poor, 1.

8. Are you offering any special induce-
ments to your employees to remain in the
florist business? What are they? — Yes,
11. (Including increased wages, bonus
and better general conditions) .

9. Remarks for the good of the society.
— (Practically nothing.)

10. How many will attend the conven-
tion from your place? — Total of 73.

Trade Notes

Aug. 28. — Business appears to be
on the up grade again owing to the hot,
dry weather which has been general
throughout the Summer. Although out-
door cut flowers have been plentiful the
crop will not extend over so long a period
as last year. Neither Asters nor Dah-
lias are so plentiful this year although
those coming in are of very fine quality.
Coons of Harper and Benson of Kirkland,
are still sending in Sweet Peas of really
marvelous quality, stems showing very
little deterioration in spite of dry
weather. The latter grower is also cut-
ting a vivid Scarlet Zinnia. I saw some
of these at the Woodlawn Flower Shop,
arranged with a bright orange variety,
in a black wicker basket forming! a
striking picture.

Bryan Hammond of the local whole-
salers reports shipping trade holding up
extra good ; he is sending out heavy ship-
ments of local grown Asters and Gladioli
to mid-western states. He says local
growers are holding up their end fine, in
spite of lack of our usual rains.

News Items

Rosaia Bros, report business as brisk.
I discovered George nearly buried in cata-
logues, which he was searching for a nov-
elty to equal the Lace Flower. Pete has
returned from his vacation and is on the
hustle as usual; but there, hustling is a
Rosaia characteristic, especially at picnics.

At Kenney's Home of Flowers, we
found Mrs. Desmond still in charge, but
were glad to hear that Will is getting
on well; from the efficient manner in
which his wife is deputising for him, it
looks as though he will have some task
getting his job back.

Woodlawn Flower Shop has had a lot
of funeral work and several society dec-
orations during the past week. Gus Pet-
erson was in charge of the latter.

Dr. W. C. Moore of the Hollywood
gardens, president of the local florists as-
sociation, is in receipt of a letter from
Secretary F. A. Van Kirk of the Oregon
Florists Club, Portland, voicing the warm
thanks of the members of that club, for
the wonderful entertainment provided
for their members wiho attended the|

Seattle Florists picnic on Aug. 20. They
hope to reciprocate at some future date.
That's the only fault we can find with
those Portlanders ; they never know when
to say "enuff." Our members much re-
gret they were unable to give them sat-
isfaction at bowling on picnic night, but
wives and families had to be taken care
of, so they still have the chance for re-
venge.

At last Sam Dunlap has sprung a fish
story. On Sunday last he was at his
usual resort, Lake Samamish, following
his usual occupation, fishing. His story is
that he caught three fish on one hook at
the same time, and he accounts for it
thusly: having hooked a ,cut through
trout, weight four pounds, on landing it,
he discovered one 4in. grayling stuck in
its throat, and a 6in. grayling in its
mouth. The veracity of this statement
is vouched for by Sam McMonies of the
Burdette Bros, staff. As prohibition is
in force in this state, I suppose we must
accept it as true.

Will and Mrs. Holmes of Hollywood
Gardens staff spent a few days visiting
Mt. Rainier last week.

R. E. Card, State Floral Co., Yakima,
was a visitor last week.
_E. B. Chenoweth, proprietor of Mount
Vernon Nursery, was calling on members
of the nursery trade on Saturday.

Geo. Cooper.

Toronto, Ont.

Florists have had an opportunity to
check up their Summer trade and almost
generally, they report that the trade has
been surprisingly good. Interviewed as
to the reasons, they state that probab-
ly the Summer not being so hot, had
something to do with it. There wasn't
the same desire to get away for long
periods from an extreme heat which pre-
vailed last Summer.

Another thing that helped trade was
that stock was plentiful at reasonable
prices. At present there is an abundance
of Asters, Gladioli, Roses, ferns, etc.
Sweet Peas are being received and florists
report that these are the best they have
received in years. The conditions were
just right for the growth of the plants
and choice blooms are the result.

The Arcade Flower Shop has been re-
decorated in white with mirrors along the
walls. George Yavner has moved into
his new home at 211 High Park ave. B.
V. Yavner is spending three weeks at
Boston. He has been appointed publicity
secretary of the Yonge st. Arcade where
the Arcade Florist is located. For the
exhibition weeks, the Arcade was decor-
ated with Smilax and Boxwood.

The mill wheel window of the Arcade
Flower Shop is attracting considerable
attention. In the background is a pic-
ture of an old mill, in front of which is
a wheel operated by water. The water
then flows into a pond in the center of
the window with gold fish. Across it is
a rustic bridge where fishermen with
poles are endeavoring to make a catch.
A roadway runs through a moss cov-
ered country with fields in which are
cows, chickens, etc. In one of the fields
is a sign board reading:

FLOWERS

The Ideal Gift

No Expression of Sentiment

More Beautiful

Flowers are shown in plots along the
roadway. The other window is a mass
of bloom, with Asters, Gladioli and
Roses in abundance.

Mrs. Jackson of the Arcade Flower
Shop is spending a holiday at- the Thou-
sand Islands, St. Lawrence.

Mr. and Mrs. Harry James of the
Peoples' Florists, are at their Summer
home at Long Island. They motored to
New York.

There is much rejoicing in the home
of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Higgins over the
arrival of a little brother to the little
Higgins girls.

New Toronto Horticultural Society's
flower show was a success. There were
many exhibits from Weston, Mimico and
Toronto and a record attendance.

George Baldwin was judge at the flower
show of the Riverdale Horticultural So-
ciety.

RETAIL DEPARTMENT

Delivery Receipts and Better Service

A Commonsense Scheme for Insuring the Customer's Satisfaction

= By A. W. WILLIAMS -.

THE kid who got the job of driving the florist's
truck was amazed. "Ive worked on just about
every kind of truck there is," he declared, "but
this is the first job I've had where I didn't have to
get receipts. Why. in the department store we
couldn't leave a spool of thread without getting the
customer's John Henry on the yellow slip. Over at
the grocery we had to have a slip in
duplicate even for a dime's worth of
celery salt." He paused. "But, gee.
Here we chuck the flowers in the door
and run."

The Boss, who had overheard him,
went back to his office rather thought-
ful. It had never occurred to him
that he had been conducting his busi-
ness somewhat loosely. In fact, he
was rather proud of himself and the
business methods he had developed.
If anyone had dared tell him outright
that he was a poor business man he
would have seen red, but now this
"kid" had thrown a wide beam of
light into his mind.

The idea wandered idly about for
a while, but when an old friend and
lifelong customer stepped into the
shop that afternoon, he asked him into
the office.

How Do You Know They Were
Delivered?

"John," said the florist, "you've
done business with me for a good
many years now. If all the flowers
you've ordered from me were put to-
gether they'd make a pretty good
roomful, wouldn't they?" The cus-
tomer wondered what was coming.
"John," said the florist, leaning over
his desk, "bow do you know I've de-
livered all those flowers?"

"Well — ," the visitor hesitated.
"Why, what makes you ask that. I've
known you all my life and I know
that if I order flowers from you, and
you bill me for them at the first of
the month — I know they've been de-
livered."

"But." persisted the florist," some-
times you've come in, left an order
and paid cash at the time. Did you
ever have any evidence that those
flowers were delivered?"

"Well, most of the time I get some
sort of an acknowledgment from the
people I send them to. They usually
thank me for things like that."

"But there have been times when
you've sent flowers and they weren't
acknowledged — isn't that right?" in-
sisted the florist.

"Yes," admitted the customer.
"Sometimes people neglect those
things, or forget about them or, as at
funerals, have so much on their minds
tbat they don't acknowledge flowers.
And cards get lost, too."

One Tradesman Who Has to Be Trusted

"And yet," said the florist, "you're willing to pay
me .for something that you don't know you got. I"
fact, there are times when there is every reason to
doubt that you got what you paid for. Delivery sys-
tems aren't perfect. The boy may leave them at the
wrong house, or may even take the box of flowers for
his own use. Or the postman may lose the package.
Or, if I choose, I may deliberately accept your order
without any intention of filling it. How do you check
up on me?" #

"I don't," returned the customer. "I have to trust
you."

When the full significance of all this impressed
itself on the florist, he was, frankly, somewhat
shocked. Although he had thought he was operating
a florist shop on fuudametnal business principles,
yet all the time his clientele had been paying him
their money without getting full satisfaction for it.
Of course, in buying flowers they didn't expect to
receive something that would inspire pride of owner-

ship, such as comes with an automobile or new silver-
ware. But they were entitled to the satisfaction of
knowing that what they had ordered had been de-
livered. There is something attractive about assur-
ance: it pleases people.

With these thoughts running through his mind,
the florist experienced a sort of guilty feeling as his

receipts on his return. The receipt was then mailed
to the sender of the order, or in the case of charge
accounts, the receipts for the month accompanied
the monthly statement — a receipt for every item on
the bill.

On orders sent by parcel post the florist enclosed
the receipt in an addressed, stamped envelope, which
lie put in the box with the flowers. The recipient was
asked to sign and mail it, and in a surprisingly large
number of eases the receipts im-r mailed back. On
F. T. D. orders the message requested a receipt from
the corresponding florist.

Superior Service for Funeral

From this idea evolved another which the florist
soon put into operation. In the confusion generally
attendant on a funeral, cards accompanying floral
tributes are frequently lost. This embarrasses the
recipient family, because it can send no acknowledg-
ment ; and it causes the sender no small dissatisfac-
tion to think that his courtesy had
been neglected. He is irritated at
both the family and the florist. There-
fore our friend florist, whenever he
handled a funeral, whether he received
one order or a hundred, made up a list
of all the persons for whom he had
sent flowers to the bereaved family,
procuring the list of names from his
receipts. He then prepared a circular
letter about as follows :
"Mr. J. W. Jones and Family,
"200 Blank st, City.
"In order to assist you in
proper acknowledgment, we
the following list of persons who sent
floral tributes to the funeral of Mrs.
Jones from the Blank Floral Co.
"Yours truly,

"Henby Blank."
Such a letter not only assures an
acknowledgment of the order, but usu-
ally is received with appreciation by
the family.

This particular florist is just a little
bit prouder of his "Service that
Pleases" than he was. It means some-
thing to him now.

Oh yes. The "kid" who drives the
truck soon got a raise. He calls it
"my receipts."

This beautiful wreath was made in the establishment of J. W. Howard, Winter-
hlll. Mass It was a contribution by the employees of Riverina Mills to the funeral
of Wm. M. Wood, Jr., son of Wm. M. Wood, president of the American Woolen Co.,
Lawrence, Mass. The wreath wa.s oft. across, the main body of it built up of Pre-
mier Roses, embedded in Adiantum ferns and surrounded by a narrow border of
light colored Gladioli. Clusters of Cattleyas, Lily of the Valley and Auratum
Lilies enhanced its beauty, and a wide, rose-pink ribbon, on which the words
"Riverina Mills" were hand-painted, put the finishing touches to this handsome

piece of flioral art.

slogan stared at him from a billhead on his desk —
"Service that Pleases," the same good slogan that
was spread across his delivery trucks and on his
front windows.

A Receipt for Every Order

So he got to work, prepared copy for a receipt and
sent it to the printer. He was careful to leave out
any reference to the price of the order, for most
people are rather sensitive about such things. The
receipt merely said, "Received from the Blank Floral

Co. an order of — ," leaving the space blank, so

that an accurate description could be filled in. It
might be "one basket of flowers." "one floral wreath,"
"one dozen Roses." But it should be as accurate as
possible without mentioning the price of the order.
Then came a line for signature and in the lower left
hand corner was a space with the notation, "Ordered
by," to be filled with the sender's name.

Thereafter one of these receipts accompanied every
box of flowers, every floral piece that went out of
the shop. The truck driver was checked up on the
number of pieces in his load when he started out ;
and he was expected to turn in just that many signed

Ques. — Can I on opening a new store
put a horseshoe with the word "Suc-
cess" in my own window?

Ans. — You can. You can even put a
few baskets or vases nicely arranged
in the window with ribbons with the
word ■■Success" or some similar
phrase. But in your place I would
ask some of my friends for permission
to use their cards ; then you could put
in the window a card on which in
large print would appear, "How
friends are saying it with flowers on
the opening day of this flower shop."

Ques. — How can I keep posted on
the market when living some distance
from it?
Ans. — The trade papers publish regular reports on
conditions. Any of your business friends will be glad
to assist you and if you keep track of it and make a
memorandum every week, you will find that the same
conditions prevail from year to year with very few
changes. History repeats itself. All you need to do
is to watch. If you are alone in a city in serving
your customers figure out the price of plants and
flowers, what they cost you to grow and charge ac-
cordingly.

Ques.' — What is the best method of holding Carna-
tions and Sweet Peas for Christmas and Easter? By
leaving the flowers on the plant until in full bloom or
picking in bud and placing in the ice box.

Ans. — For Sweet Peas, picking in the bud and plac-
ing in the icebox, would not be advisable; they would
not open. If the icebox is too cold Carnations would
not develop and the dampness will harm the flowers.
But if you pinch, your Carnations at the right time
or if you keep them a little cooler (both Carnations
and Sweet Peas) the cooler temperature will not hin-
der the buds from growing but will hinder them from
developing too quickly. Also if you have an earth
cellar which has a naturally cool temperature you

will find that Carnations and Sweet Peas
will keep in much better than in an ice-
box and preserve their freshness and
quality.

Ques. When it is time to clean out
the greenhouse and Callas are still in
growth how do vou stop them and harden
the bulbs?

Ans. Dig the Callas out with a liberal
ball of earth and put them in a shed or
underneath a bench in a dry place -where
they will dry off gradually and harden.

Ques. I have some Jerusalem Cherry
plants that are full of blossoms (early
Summer) and want to know if I must
pinch off the blossoms or can I let them
form berries? If I leave them as they
are will they blossom again for Christ-
man when I especially want them?

Ans. — Jerusalem Cherries should not
be pinched at all except as seedlings be-
fore planting them outdoors. That they
are in bloom now is perfectly natural.
The best is to plant the seedlings out in
the open ground as soon as the ground is

open and danger of frost is past. Plant
them in pots the middle of September
and put them in a well shaded place away
from drafts, where they can be sprayed
three or four times daily. They will
make roots quickly in the pots and there
is no necessity that the berries or foli-
age should be damaged if this work is
done carefully.

Ques. — What is the correct name of the
Chinese Lantern plant? Is it an annual
or a perennial?

Ans. — Physalis Franchetti or Alke-
kengi. It is a hardy plant. You can sow
seed in flats in August, and put the little
plants in a cold frame or into deeper flats
and protect them lightly over the first
Winter. Plant them out in Spring and
they will form pods the first season. You
can also sow the seeds in January, replant
the seedlings in small pots and plant them
out as soon as the season opens; this
method also produces some seed pods the
first season. The flower of this plant is
very insignificant, a small w-hite star. This
seed pod turns to a nice orange red
about the beginning of August and in
some parts of the country a little earlier.
If you want a variation of coloring, shade
part of the bed beginning about July 25.
Those which grow in the 'semi-shade will
be prettily tinged with green.

Ques. — What annuals are practical for
a retail florist?

Ans. — Anchusa, Amaranthus, Asters
(American Beauty and Autumn Purple),
Antirrhinum, Arctotis grandis. Blue Lace
Flower, Calendula, Calliopsis, Celosia,
Centaurea imperialis, Centaurea cyanus,
C'larkia, Cleome pungens, Cosmos, Single
Dahlias, Dianthus chinensis, Dimorpho-
theea, Dolichos, Eschseholtzia, Euphorbia
variegata, Gomphrena globosa, Godetia,
Helichiysums, Lunaria biennis, Hunne-
mannia, Lavatera rosea splendens, Lep-
tosyne, Tagetes, Gypsophila, Nigella, No-
lana grandiflora, Salpiglossis, Scabiosa,
Schizanthus, Statice Suworowii, Zinnias.

Ques. — Will annuals sell in flower shops
in a country town where there are small
gardens and where people have a whole
lot of annuals themselves?

Ans. — If you are the right kind of a
florist you will grow annuals which the
other fellow hasn't got (that is, the fel-
low with the little garden) . If you look
through the different gardens in your
neighborhood you will find that they are
pretty much all alike, with only about
ten or twelve varieties commonly repre-
sented. But among the easily grown and
very pretty annuals are some which are
not grown in general. It depends also
on how you put your annuals together
to how you will sell them. Your ability
to put them in the right form should
make your customer forget that you have
among your flowers some which they have
in their own gardens. We often have
customers remark to us: "Why, we have
those at home, but your flowers look dif-
ferent even if they are the same varie-
ties."

Ques. — When should we sow Calliopsis,
Centaurea and Calendulas to get early
cut flowers?

Ans. — Sow them in Fall, just before
the ground freezes; then they come up
early in Spring the moment the sun be-
gins to shine a little warmer. They will
bloom quicker and more freely than those
you sow in the cold frames and plant out
afterward.

Ques. — Which of the flowers we can dry
for the Winter, are the best to prepare?

Aus. — Acroclinium, Hydrangea arbore-
scens, Helichrysum and Globe Amaranth.

Ques. — How should I treat single
Dahlias so that they will bloom well dur-
ing the Summer months when there is no
variation in larger flowers with good
color ?

Ans. — Use seeds instead of tubers. Sow
them in a flat in February and you will
have good plants when planting "time ar-
rives. Planted out in good rich ground

these Dahlias will form large plants and
be in full bloom the beginning of July.
After cutting dip the ends of the stems
in boiling water and the flowers will
last for several days.

Ques. — How can I keep Poppies for
several days without the petals falling
off?

Ans. — Dip the stems after cutting in
boiling water. Also dissolve a little gum
arabic in the water and with a small
brush put a few drops on the inside
where the petals connect with the stem
and also a drop where the petals touch
each other. The gum arabic will harden
and enable you to keep the Poppy in
your window for a week.

we grow for cutting in Summer?

Ans. — Euphorbia variegata and E. het-

who want cut flower stock that is avail-

Ques. — Is it advisable to offer custom-
ers baskets for funerals?

Ans. — It is, especially those customers
sending out flowers a day or two before
the funeral takes place. The flowers are
not sent to the dead person. They are
sent to soften the effect on those left be-
hind. We are sending flowers to occupy
their minds, to give them something to
think about and ease their sorrow, and
for such purpose baskets are much ap-
preciated. They do not have to be made
gaudy to look pretty; they can be made
in the most wonderful colors and still
be dignified; yes, they can even be made
severe. It all depends on you, Mr. Flo-
rist. Slowly but surely the simple offer-
ings like sprays, wreaths or baskets will
take the place of all the fancy and
imaginary forms of heavy set pieces.

Ques. — How should one treat Straw-
flowers (Helichrysum) so that they will
keep both color and form?

Ans. — Cut them, tie them in bunches and
hang them in a shady, airy place. When
the foliage is withered the flowers begin
to dry off; then make a solution of one
part sulphuric acid and eleven parts
water. Dip the flowers in, shake them
out well and hang them up again to dry.
Use rubber gloves in doing this work. The
flowers will retain their color and form
and will not drop out.

The Gladiolus Show

As before noted, the Gladiolus show
held here was said to be one of the most
successful ever held by the association,
and the public and pi-ess alike appreciated
the liberality arising from the free exhibi-
tion and disposal of the exhibits, so that
it may seem rather exacting at this time
to be critical, and more especially so by
one who did not actually lend a helping
hand. However, in my earlier days I
have actively assisted in exhibiting on
many occasions, and in the hope that my
suggestions may be helpful in the future
to the association, I venture to submit
the following in a friendly spirit:

I first noted the lack of variation in
the arrangement of the tables, and the
fact that many exhibits had a very poor
light, which did not enable them to show
off to the best advantage. In the ar-
rangement of the exhibits there was no
attempt to harmonize or contrast the col-
ors, and as a consequence, in some cases,
the liner qualities ol a variety were over-
looked because its neighbor screamed
something else.

The possibilities of the mass effect were
entirely overlooked except by one, and
this at a time when the market was over-
stocked and glutted with suitable stock.
Just fancy how well a center piece with
5000 or so spikes would have gone, or a
sloping table on the side, massed with
blended colors. The local trade should
have been called on for some large deco-
rative plants to have varied the monotony
of the gay colored exhibits.

All this I know means a lot of work for
someone, and as most associations change
their officers frequently it is too much to
expect skilled managers this way. _ The
office of superintendent of exhibitions
might well be created by all subsidiary
associations, so that in a few years we
might have a few men who would always
be available to supervise and stage a
show effectively. Being professional mana-
gers, these men would cost something to
hire, but I believe would be profitable in
the end to any society.

The Wrights of Sturgis, Mich., were the
ones who thoroughly understand the
value of mass effect, for their exhibit was
one varietv called Louise, and in conver-
sation with Mr. Wright, he incidentally
remarked that eight years ago he selected
this variety and since then has worked
up a large stock and already sold 810,000
worth of it, and the end is not yet, for
by the interest taken in his exhibit I
ain sure his sales this year will be large.
With 17 acres planted to Gladioli, he
could have easily staged 100 varieties, but
he wisely backs his winner and allows
nothing to detract attention from it. Of
course it follows that many other varie-
ties are included with the leader when
his sales are made.

All the exhibitors overlooked a S50
prize. There were no entries, for a basket
of Gladioli called for that prize. S. B.

The Market

The week just past brought nothing
new. Conditions in general run from poor
to only fair. Occasionally one rinds a
store that has had a fair business for a
day, but as a whole all are running far
below normal. Stock in every class is a
glut on the market. Asters are about
the heaviest, and command prices from 2c.
to 3c, with some trying to hold the mar-
ket up at 4c. and 5c. Asters never were
better, and in spite of the warm weather,
some exceptionally fine stock is corning
into the market. Some of the best run
almost as large as Smith's Advance 'Muni
and bring as high as 5c. and 6c. each.

Gladioli are falling off fast and the
local growers are about cleaned out.
However, all of the retailers are ship-
ping in nice Gladioli at $4 per 100. Roses
are very plentiful, and while most of
the cut is of the shorter lengths, there is
some nice 14in. and 16in. stock coming
into the market at 12c. to 16c.

A few American Beauty are beginning
to make their appearance. The warm
weather has been hard on the Russell
and Premier, and it brings the American
Beauty out in a hurry. Columbia is the
heavy cropper this week.

Some exceptionally fine Lilies are de-
manding 15c, although they are not
moving as they should. Buddleia is mov-
ing fine and is very popular in baskets
and table decorations. Carnations and
Zinnias are very abundant, but no sale.
Immense Hydrangeas and Celosias are
plentiful. T. E. Evans.

Detroit, Mich.

The Market

Stock of all kinds, excepting Roses,
continues to be plentiful. Roses are fewer
and come mostly from young stock and the
average flower is small. Prices on all
stock the past month have not varied more
than a few cents.

News Notes

Montgomery and Allan Butchardt
of the Rosery Flower Shop, Grand Riv-
er ave., are away on a two weeks' motor
trip. Their ultimate destination is To-
ronto, with stops around Niagara Falls
and other places of interest along the
way.

Jack Bleeker, Grand River ave. florist,
is making several improvements in his al-
ready good looking flower shop. All the
fixtures are done over in gray, with a blue
tint. Walls of the store are to be in
white enamel. A huge electric sign is also
set in place over his store. Jack is driv-
ing a new Stutz, with all sorts of pretty
little accessories. He "hinted" that busi-
ness was good.

Last week mention was made of a new
shop being proposed in the General Mo-
tors Building for Doemling's Flowers,
Inc. Contract was let this week with
Buchbinder's for equipment, which when
installed complete will represent an out-
lay of approximately *5000. The refriger-
ator is a huge one to be connected with
the Brine refrigerating plant operated
by the General Motors. The equipment
includes every known device to facilitate

the rendering of dignified floral service.
Walls of the shop are to be done in
French gray, ceiling in Tiffany and trim-
mings furnished in ivory and old rose.
Some idea of the size of the building
may be had with the knowledge that it
contains 1768 offices and is reputed to be
the largest office building in the world.
The tabulator registers an .average of
12,000 visitors through the Grand Boule-
vard entrance every day. In addition
there is an auditorium in the building
seating 2-100 and booked every night for
the next four months. The Christian
Science Church with over 3000 members
is also located in this building. T. L. B.

Coal vs. Oil

I have gained the following infor-
mation in regard to oil burners that are
on the market, designed to be used in
furnaces now using coal The objection
to most of them is that the flame is pro-
jected against the crown sheet in such a
manner as to destroy it in a short while.
The Continental Fuel Oil Burner, made
in Chicago, is designed to overcome this
defect. This oil burner has an arch of
fire brick within the boiler that deflects
the flame to all parts of the fire bos
evenly.

The price which coal can be had in
and around Evansville, even though we
pay double the price of normal times,
will make the cost of heating with oil
21/* times greater than with coal. This
information comes from one of our lead-
ing plumbing and heating firms.

No florists of this city have considered
changing from coal to oil; car lots of coal
suitable for steam making, mine run or
nut, can be had for $3.50 per ton or
thereabouts.

Evansville is the center of immense
coal fields, Kentucky, Illinois and Indiana.
Many stripper mines are within a few
miles of this city. Since the socalled re-
sumption of lifting coal, less than one-
half the miners are unable to work on
account of; the inability to secure cars
for the transport of coal.

You will, however, readily see that
there is no inducement for a person liv-
ing here to devote much time to invent-
ing burners for using oil for heating
purposes. W. H.

What's the Matter! Here ?

By VINCENT BEEKMAN

The subject of this week's illustration
is of a large, standing cross. The cross
itself is made of pink Rambler Roses
with Swainsona twining up the staff of
the cross. The base, as can be seen, has
but a limited number of miscellaneous
flowers.

After this design was prepared the
criticism was made the base appeared
too light and small for the size of the
cross that stood above it.

The Exchange is anxious to be of
help to designers, by offering sugges-
tions for improving work, and we would
like to have the ideas of some of our
florist readers on these matters as they
come up from time to time. If we re-
ceive answers to this appeal we will
again publish tbis cut with the sugges-
tions for improvement.

Now take up your pencil, state how
you would improve this cross. Every
florist cannot attend Schling's School of
Floristry and your suggestions may be
of help to some struggling designer.

Lancaster, Pa.

Retail

The situation here continues un-
changed as relates to business conditions.
At the B. P. Barr store Mrs. Spera and
Mrs. Sayles have relinquished their po-
sitions and the store is now under the
charge of Miss Diffenbaugh as business
manager.

Growers

Carnations were never better than
they are this season, and when they are
divided into three classes — good, better,
best— the J. Wade Galey houses near
Strasburg are in the "best" class. Good
Carnations are always found at this place,
but the bouses this season seem to have
all previous years eclipsed. A house of
Laddie and Matchless are not the doubled
up stock one often sees, but single plants
with from ten to twenty good breaks and
a good healthy green down to the base of
the plant and, by the way, they are going
to be kept this way as he has his first
run of wire through them to keep the
foliage off the ground. Matchless, Red
Matchless (which he seems to think a
good one) and Beacon are all in the same
fine shape. Mr. Galey is partial to Bea-
con for a red and has plants with 29
breaks that will be in flower by the holi-
days.

Social

The Rohrers, the Landises, the
Weavers and the Herrs all met at the
home of the Galeys on Thursday evening
for a Corn roast, and ate Corn, bacon,
hot dogs, buns, pickles, crackers and
cheese, pumpkin pies and Watermelons
enough to make the host think none of
us had anything to eat from Monday
morning to Thursday night. Before we

England's Greatest Floral^Fete

According to reports the famous
Shrewsbury Fete, organized by the
Shropshire Horticultural Society, held
on Aug. 16 and 17, more nearly ap-
proached its old time splendor, than any
held since 1913.

Despite its vastness, the judging,
which started at 9 a.m., was completed
in two hours and within ten minutes
the great show was crowded. It should
be mentioned that for this fete the rail-
roads run special trains from all parts,
and in happier days about 100 of these
excursion trains used to unload in a day.

Carl Bngelmann won the 50 guinea
challenge cup offered for , Carnations,
thereby defeating a competitor who al-
ready had two claims to it.

One famous cup offered for indoor
and outdoor fruit, was won outright.
The winner was James Vert, gardener
to Lord Howard de Walden. The name
of Vert is by no means unknown on this
side of the water.

With vegetables Edwin Beckett ap- j
pears to be attracting greater attention
than ever. His 120 dishes at Shrews-
bury were so remarkable that the so-
ciety not only gave the exhibit the large
gold medal, but also a special award.
This display was declared to be the I
greatest feature of the exhibition and
experts consider Mr. Beckett has never
before equalled it, and may never do so
again.

The Market

Sept. 5. — The slight revival of busi-
ness in the wholesale flower market, which
is expected to come after Labor Day has
not yet materialized, as a scanning of our
price list this week would certainly indi-
cate. For only a single item, namely,
Lily of the Valley, has the price advanced.
The present unsatisfactory conditions do
not seem to arise so much from pro-
nounced increases in the arrivals of the
several kinds of staple and short-season
flowers, as from an extremely limited de-
mand. Not until this demand shows a
marked increase will the wholesale flower
business here experience a return of pros-
perity.

American Beauty Roses, which have
been in about normal supply for the sea-
son, are now showing a rapid increase
in daily arrivals, and as there is no cor-
responding increase in the demand, but
rather a decrease, the prices of last week,
namely 15c. to 30c. each for specials and
proportionate prices for other grades, are
today maintained with difficulty. Other
Roses also show an increasing supply, and
as there is an extremely small demand for
them, prices are declining.

Top grade blooms are bringing 3c. to
8c. and occasionally 10c. each, except for
Crusader, which is bringing 12c, and Key
25c. The decline in price is still more
marked in the case of No. 2 grade blooms,
which are selling at 75c. to $1 and occa-
sionally $1.50 per 100.

The supply of Carnations is beginning
to increase, but the call for them is ex-
tremely light. The range of price cover-
ing all grades is 75e. to $2 and occasionally
$3 per 100.

Cattleyas are in larger supply, and with
a weak demand prices have declined to
50e. to $1.50 each. Lilies are moving out
slowly, in the case of whites, at $12 for
longiflorums, and $5 to $6 for albums, and
in the case of rubrums, the pink ones,
at $5 to $6 per 100. The demand for
Valley, which we are told is not coming
from the larger retail stores, but which
for some reason shows considerable in-
crease, has caused prices to advance to
$6 to $10 per 100. The supply is not
over large. Gardenias are moving out
slowly at 75c. to $2 per doz.

_ In miscellaneous flowers Gladioli are ar-
riving in relatively small numbers, the
supply seeming to be curtailed earlier in
the season than usual. Prices range from
$2 to $4 per 100. Dahlias are showing a
rapidly increasing supply. The common
varieties and even the choicer ones of poor
quality meet with little or no demand, but
the selected blooms of the standard varie-
ties are bringing $2 to $4, and the fancy
varieties $6 to $8 per 100.

There is a goodly supply of other miscel-
laneous flowers, such as Marigolds, Cos-
mos, Feverfew, all of which are selling,
when they sell at all, at about 8c. to 10c.
per bunch, with Zinnias at about the same
price. There are also a few northern
grown Sweet Peas of good quality, but
these only touch $1 per 100. Just a few
Chrysanthemums are seen, mostly of the
variety Golden Glow, but even these few
are begging for buyers at about $2.50 to
$3 per doz.

All kinds of greens, both indoor and
hardy, are meeting with slow sales.

The Florists Club Meeting

The next regular meeting of the
New York Florists Club will be held in
the Engineering Societies Building, 25
West 39th St., Monday, Sept. 11, at 7.30
p.m. sharp. This will be the first meeting
after the vacation season and a large at-

tendance is looked for. The recent S. A.
F. Convention at Kansas City will be
described from all angles by those Flo-
rist Club members who attended. Wal-
lace R. Pierson and A. M. Henshaw
will be on hand to tell of their interest-
ing motor trip to Kansas City and back.
This meeting will provide a good oppor-
tunity to make exhibits of any seasonable
plants or flowers. Exhibits should be ad-
dressed to Wm. Saville, chairman of the
exhibition committee, care Henshaw
Floral Co., 43 West 18th st.

Dahlia Exhibition by New York Horti-
cultural Society

The Horticultural Society of New
York will hold a Dahlia Exhibition in
the Museum Building, New York Botani-
cal Gardens, Bronx Park, in cooperation
with the Garden, Sept. 22 to 24. It will
be open from 10 to 5 on Saturday and
Sunday. The schedule of premiums in-
cludes an "Open to All," Non-Commercial,
Amateur Only, and Garden Club Only,
classes, and a Sweepstakes for the best
exhibit in the show, the latter prize be-
ing a silver medal.

Another Wholesale Flower Firm

The firm of James Rutig & Co.,
which is the latest to engage in the
wholesale flower business in this city, has
chosen for its operations one of the large,
well equipped, and recently renovated
stores in the wholesale flower market, at
43 West 18th st. James Rutig, president
of this new firm, belongs to that class of
wholesale florists who have worked their
way up from the bottom to the top of
the business by dint of industry, energy,
intelligence and initiative. He started
his career in the wholesale flower busi-
ness at the age of 15, as an errand boy
with the firm of Henshaw & Fenrich at
51 West 28th st., and was with that firm
four years. After it dissolved partner-
ship, Mr. Rutig went with J. S. Fen-
rich, and remained with him in the ca-
pacities of salesman and manager for
seven years, until recently, when he re-
signed to form the firm of James Rutig
&_ Co. _ Mr. Rutig is considered a "live
wire" in the wholesale flower business
and his many friends feel that they have
every reason for thinking that he will
make good.

Flowers for Michael Collins' Grave

On Sept. 1, M. A. Bowe, the well
known retail florist of 332 5th ave. made to
the order of St. Catherine's Welfare So-
ciety of this city, a large and splendid
spray of flowers, which the society sent,
to Ireland on Sept. 3 to be placed on
Michael Collins' grave. The materials
entering into this spray were Cycas fronds
and natural prepared white Roses. The
spray which was about 5ft. long was
set off with ribbons of green, white and
yellow bearing the legend, "Blessed are
the peacemakers; they shall enjoy the
Kingdom of Heaven." On the card were
the words, "For the grave of Michael
Collins in Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin,
Ireland, care Honorable Stephen O'Mara,
Mayor of Dublin, Mansion House, Dublin,
Ireland."

The New York City wholesale flower
stores closed at noon on Monday, Sept.
4th, Labor Day. The Summer schedule
at these stores is now off, and Autumn
schedule has begun. This means, open
from 7a.m. till 5 p.m., and a little later,
till 6 p.m.

Paul Rigo, manager for the Henshaw
Floral Co., 43 West 18th st., has returned
from his Summer vacation, which he has
passed with his family at Long Island,
Mr. Rigo is looking hearty, seems more

Salem, Mass.

Flower Show Time

There was a wonderful flower
show held in connection with the Salem
Playground Exhibition on Salem Com-
mon this past week. William T. Walke,
a local florist, was in charge. The flower
show part of the exhibition occupied a
space about SOft. long. The Sunbeam
Farm of Swampscott, Mass., had an ex-
tra fine display of Dahlias and Glad-
ioli. The Highland Gladioli Farm of
Danvers. Mass., owned by Mrs. C. H.
Logan, had an extra good display of
Gladioli.

William J. Walke had a large display
of mixed plants, both flowering and fo-
liage, in all sizes with cut flowers scat-
tered-in between.

Southworth Bros., nurserymen of Bev-
erly, Mass., had an interesting display
of cut flowers taken from shrubs and
perennials, also Gladioli blooms which
this firm grows by thousands. Every-
thing was plainly marked. This firm is
made up of Fred L. Southworth and
Charles A. Southworth. They do an
extensive business in this section.

Axel Magnuson, of Manchester, Mass.,
had a very nice display of mixed gar-
den flowers, while Cedar Acres of Wen-
ham, Mass. ; B. Hammond Tracey, prop.,
had a fine display of Gladioli and Dahl-
ias. This firm plants several acres with
Gladioli alone.

Richard Atkinson, head floi'ist in the
Public Property Department of the city,
had a good showing of Dahlias, all
raised from seed.

J. J. Driscoll, of Salem, Mass., also
had a good showing of Dahlias, which
are his specialty.

A. A. Pembroke, of Salem and Bev-
erly, Mass., had a good display of Glad-
ioli and other Summer flowers well ar-
ranged with different kinds of wedding
bouquets in the center. The firm also
made a large set piece in the form of a
horseshoe of Asters, Gladioli and other
flowers, with the words in gold on rib-
bon, "Success to the Salem Play-
grounds," and 'had it just inside the en-
trance of the tent. It is a State law in
Massachusetts that all cities and towns
over a certain population, must pro-
vide playgrounds for its children. The
city of Salem does a lot better than
just live up to this law. The Play-
ground Exhibition Day has gotten to be
one of the biggest events of the year
not only for the children who then show
what they learned or made during the
Summer, but also for the grownups who
are anxious to see what the children
have learned. A large number of the
florists, nurserymen, farmers and others

take hold of the opportunity [which the
city gives them to show off their goods.

Another interesting flower show held
in this section was one in connection
with the United Shoe Athletic Associa-
tion's field day, an annual event known
as the Sam-Sam. This association is
made up of employees of the United
Shoe Machinery Co. of Beverly, Mass.
Thomas Leavitt carried off the honors
for Dahlias ; Samuel B. Crombie, of Bev-
erly, Mass., for Gladioli, and Ralph W.
Ward for garden flowers, also of Beverly,
Mass. Southworth Bros., of Beverly,
Mass., had a big display of flowers and
shrubs.

A. A. Pembroke, of Beverly and Salem,
Mass., is not growing Roses for this
season but is growing more Carnations
instead. This firm has a stall in Boston
where it sells principally Carnations
grown at the greenhouses in Beverly.
The firm also has two retail greenhouses
in Salem ; one in the North Salem sec-
tion and the other in the commercial sec-
tion of the city.

Farm Crops Hurt by Rain

From Friday of last week until
Tuesday of this week this section experi-
enced heavy rains and high winds, which
injured thousands of dollars worth of farm
crops. Florists fortunately are not re-
porting heavy damages. Maine's great
Potato county, Aroostock, is suffering
heavy damage, many of the fields being
submerged and their crops rotting. One
farmer reports that a 15-acre field of Oats,
ready to cut just before the rains, is now
a total loss. Last year everything was in
the grip- of drought; now the people are
praying for sunshine and dry land, so that
they can save what little is left of the
crops.

As the Summer season draws to a
close and cooler weather sets in florists
are turning their attention to their Fall
and Winter stock. They are especially
interested in the coal situation, but as
there are no big concerns in this district
and as it is on tide water, they have faith
that coal will come before the river closs.

Some Thriving Maine Growers

The writer visited Maplewood
Greenhouses, C. P. Boder, proprietor, last
week. He has a fine location on Maine St.,
at the entrance to Bass Park, where all
the big attractions of the year are held,
drawing thousands of people. Mr. Lode
is a most pleasing man to meet. In his
two houses he has about 6000 Carnations,
comprising Matchless, Enchantress, Su-
preme, Laddie and Maine Sunshine. He
says he is looking for a good business in
the bulb line this Winter, and is import-
ing about 25,000 bulbs for forcing. He
is very fortunate in having the best part
of his coal supply on hand.

Bangor, Me. (Continued from page 686)

Albert Felker of Carmel is turning his
attention to the wholesale growing of
Dahlias, Pansies and Gladioli. Last Spring
he offered the choicest stock of Pansy

Elants in this district, G. S. Seavey & Son
uying almost his entire stock. This year
he is growing twice as many and feels
confident that he will find a ready market
for them. He is located about 12 miles
from Bangor, and his neighbors and
friends thought him crazy to start growing
flowers on such an extensive scale, but he
is satisfied that a wholesale business will
be successful. He has a 50-aere tract and
hopes that some day he can put a large
part of it under cultivation, declaring that
he will if he can find a market for his
stock.

Mr. Felker came to Carmel six years
ago from Strafford Corner, N. H, where
he grew Spring plants, etc., for about 25
years. Twin sisters, Carrie and Cora
Felker, still reside at Strafford Corner,
where they are successfully growing
Pansies for the trade.

The University of Maine is much in
need of some modern greenhouses to re-
place the old ones now being used, and
it is hoped by all interested in the insti-
tution that the Legislature will appropri-
ate necessary funds for their purchase and
erection.

A large tract of land, on the west side
of the city, is being developed. Electric
ears are to be run through it, and it is
hoped that many new homes will be built
there in the near future. Local dealers in
and growers of nursery stock are looking
for a brisk business furnishing trees and
shrubs for this new development

H. E. S.

Chicago

Sept. 5. — There was no regular mar-
ket on Labor Day, the houses keeping
open only until about noon. As there was
no mail, only 'phone and telegraph or-
ders commanded attention. There was
no express service either and whatever
went out that forenoon had to be deliv-
. ered , to the railroads in rented trucks
or in the wholesalers' own conveyances
The business change that the first of Sep-
tember usually brings has been delayed
this year owing to a remarkably warm
spell. Sept. 1 was the warmest day of the
Summer and goes on record for intense
heat for the same day since 1913, all of
which has no tendency to improve market-
conditions. There is, therefore, but little
change to record. The supply of Gla-
dioli, while gradually on the wane, is still
more than sufficient for the demand. The
flowers are smaller, being the cut from
small bulblets that are being grown on
for the bulb trade in Spring.

The supply of Roses has increased dur-
ing the past few days, as well as im-
proved in quality. The price so far is
low ' and will remain so until frost does
away with the outdoor flowers that can
be had so cheaply for funeral and other
work.

Asters continue in abundant supply and
will be a factor for a few more weeks to
come. Carnations are becoming more
plentiful and with cooler weather will
show much improvement in quality. They
will never be in lively demand or command
a remunerative price as long as there
are so many cheap Asters to be had. Since
the demand has been mainly for funeral
work one does as well as the other, and
the cheapest stock has the preference.

The arrival of the first of the season's
large Chrysanthemums from California
has been one of the features of the week
The variety so far is Chrysolora, large
blooms with hard woody stems. These
are featured at most of the leading loop
stores and are commanding attention.
There is besides some locally grown Octo-
ber Frost, and it may be said the season
has opened in a general way. The prob-

lem that confronts the growers each sea-
son as to the desirability of the whole-
salers and retailers handling this Cali-
fornia grown stock is an open question.
It comes up every season for adjudication
but so far nothing has been accomplished
to stop it. This year the shipments from
the Coast promise to be even still greater,
as a prominent grower from there has
been, here recently to make arrangements
for large shipments during the season and
has had encouragement from the Ameri-
can Railway Express Co. The probability
is that there will be a large amount of
this stock shipped in here during the next
few weeks. The price so far ranges about
$6 per doz.

The usual supply of Summer flowers
are on the down grade; many varieties
are off for the season, with the remainder
coming in unlimited quantities. There
are no more orchids and Valley than
there is demand for, and at times not
enough. There are plenty of Easter
Lilies.

There are enough of greens. Boxwood
is coming in, and the first shipments of
wild Smilax from Alabama are arriving.
There is a tendency toward higher prices
for ferns. The past week saw the end
of the vacation season, and full working
forces being in their usual positions Tues-
day morning.

News Notes

George C. Barsh, recently in the
floral department of the L. S. Donald-
son Co., Minneapolis, Minn., spent a few
days in the city the past week on his
way to Champaign, 111., where he goes
to take a position as store manager for
Thos. Franks & Sons.

Frank Beu, an old and reliable florist
on North Crawford ave., is summering
at Atlantic City, N. J., where he is en-
joying a timely vacation. Mr. Beu has
been a successful florist for many years,
but his greatest success was in the re-
cent disposal of considerable propertv
adjoining his place of business that had
grown into great value since he acquired
the property many years ago. This has
enabled him to retire from active busi-
ness and remain on "easy street" for the
remainder of his days. The florist busi-
ness established by him is being con-
tinued by his son under the title of
C. W. Beu Floral Co.

A. J. Zech and Mrs. Zech drove to
Lake Delavan, Wis., Saturday where
they spent Sunday and Labor Day. This
will be the last trip of the season, as
business is so improving as to require
Mr. Zech's full attention at the store.
Otto Goerisch is back after a two weeks'
vacation.

More About Oil Burning

W. O. Beu, proprietor of the Beu
Floral Co., 4445 N. Crawford ave., has
been using crude oil for fuel, for the
past five years. Mr. Beu is the inventor
of a burner that is now in general use,
not as much with the florists but in
other industries. He sells the patent
right with drawings and specifications,
the users doing their own construction.
Up to the present time, he 'had been
carrying his stock of oil in a series of
small metal tanks. The city ordinance
no longer permits oil to be stored in this
way, as a .precaution against fire. To
meet these requirements he is installing
two large oil tanks with a capacity of
11,300 gallons each. The excavation of
the holes in which these tanks are to be
buried cost $600. The oil is forced from
the tanks by air pressure. The cost of
the two tanks put into the holes is $2S5
each. The Beu establishment consists of
50,000 sq. ft. of glass, and it requires
60,000 gallons of oil a year to heat the
range. Oil at the present time can be
bought in Chicago for 6%c. per gallon.
Some who had contracted earlier have
bought for 5%c. Mr. Beu states the
cost of heating by oil is about one-half
that of coal, and could not be induced
to- go back to coal again under any con-
sideration.

The New City Floral Co., a wholesale
and retail establishment at Sixty-first
and Throop sts., A. Steffeter, proprietor
and manager, have been using crude oil
for fuel for the past three and one-half
years and would not go back to coal
even though it might be slightly cheaper.
There is no anxiety about the use of oil,
no stoking, and no work to amount to
anything. Another advantage is there is
no smoke. Mr. Steffeter states they could

hardly operate longer in his section by
the use of coal as the city has built up
so raipidly around there the smoke from
coal would be an objection. The cost of
heating the past Winter was $300 less
than the last year coal was used. He
has a 3100 gallon tank, the installation
of which and full equipment as to burner,
etc., cost $1300. He could change from
oil to coal within an hour if necessary
to do so.

The price of crude oil is 6%c Through
misinformation the writer last week
stated that crude oil iwas as high as
12%c. per gallon. This is not correct as
it has never been that high.

Henry Youngquist on Foster ave. has
been using crude oil as a fuel for the
past three years ; J. W. Ensweiler at
5320 S. Morgan st. is installing a storage
tank and oil burner, while The Forest
Park Floral Co. have been using oil as
a fuel with much success for the past
three years.

Bank Holiday at Kew }I,

Despite the threatening weather — con-
ditions in England have been unusually
perverse since June — no less than 20,000
people visited Kew Gardens on Bank Holi-
day, Aug. 7.

The Gardeners' Chronicle comments on
the fact that the visitors were exceedingly
orderly and made good use of the recep-
tacles provided for waste paper, etc. This
is not usually the case with holiday
crowds.

British Rose Test Garden

Arrangements for this have been com-
pleted by the Royal Horticultural So-
ciety and the necessary forms for enter-
ing new varieties may be obtained from
the director, R. H. S. Gardens, Wisley,
Surrey, England.

Plants are desired by Nov. 15, and
when possible, six plants of a sort
should be sent. It is hoped that this
Rose trial ground will develop into a
recognized National Rose Garden.

The National Rose Society is not,
however, cooperating with the R. H. S.,
presumably because the two bodies are
not on speaking terms owing to the re-
vised regulations as to the use of the
R. H. S. exhibition hall.

"A good clear

"I was well pleased with Malco Paint

The painters who did the work for me

The Market

Sept. 5. — After four weeks of ex-
tremely dull market conditions, things are
beginning to perk up again. Last Satur-
day the demand for white Roses far ex-
ceeded the supply and the price jumped
from 50c. per 100 to $5 in less than no
time. The retail stores report good busi-
ness and now, with the supply of
Gladioli and also Asters being noticeably
on the wane, reasonable cleanups are
again in sight.

Of Roses there is not a great oversup-
ply and what there is of it is in the line
of short lengths. Quality in general is
not better than may be expected of young
plants at this time of the year, but it
does nicely for present purposes. Ameri-
can Beauty is in short supply and, at that,
plentiful enough for all demands. Sell-
ing for 3c. to 4c. and the price runs up
to 25c or 30c. for specials. Ordinary va-
rieties of Roses, and ordinary quality,

make 3c. for 9in.; 12in. 4c; 15in. 6c. to
8c, and 18in. 10c. to 12c Greater lengths
are scarce and not wanted. Butterfly
is, at present, rather overdone and al-
though selling freely, has to be satisfied
with a reduction of lc. all round. The
best grades and varieties of Gladioli are
bringing 50c per doz. and a few sales
even 75c Ordinary goods go at from four
to six dozen for one dollar, with sales
making quite an impression on the ar-
rivals as compared with a few days ago.

Asters have suffered greatly from the
recent rains and arrive badly spotted.
The quality, otherwise, is not as fine as
it has been for a long while. For the very
best Asters, 3c. can be had. Grades be-
low the best, make lc to 2c, and there are
many inferior lots that go for much less.

White Lilies are not abundant and
when obtainable, sell for 16c. Speeio-
sums are in sufficient supply at 5c to 6c.

Carnations are not worth mentioning,
the supply, happily, being insignificant,
and the demand totally absent. Their
innings is to come later on. The pros-
pects for a good crop of fine Carnations
were never better, the plants in almost
all establishments showing up exceedingly
well.

There is a good supply of perennial and
annual Larkspur, but its popularity, now,
is nothing to talk of, and much of it is not
sold. Gypsophila elegans sells well. A
little Buddleia, Myosotis and Calendulas
are to be seen and any amount of ever-r
lastings of various sorts. The latter
flowers are in danger of being overdone
since so many florists have taken up their
cultivation. Sweet Peas are very scarce,
but the usual variety of miscellaneous
flowers is abundant as ever and sells at
some price. Several growers have taken
up the growing of Tuberoses and are do-
ing them well, but these flowers seem to
be out of date and find little favor.

The supply of orchids is very short,
thereby holding the price for good blooms
up to $1.50 to $2, although the demand
is also restriced. Lily of the Valley is
fine and sells for 8c to 10c, with a small
supply and demand. There is enough of
green material of all kinds at normal
figures.

Somehow there is a general feeling in
the market that a turn for the better
has set in and that the next few weeks
will bring it back to normal conditions.
Familiar faces that have been missed for
some time are to be seen again, showing
the glow of health as a result of a much
enjoyed vacation.

The Dahlia Show

Sept. 9 and 10 promise to be great
days, for in Horticultural Hall, Boston,
the Dahlia exhibitions of the Dahlia So-
ciety of New England and of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society will be
staged at the same time. Not only have
the officers of both societies exerted them-
selves to the utmost to arouse the in-
terest of exhibitors to a greater extent
than ever, but the weather conditions
have left nothing to be desired that would
contribute to a favorable growth of the
plants and the perfection of the flowers.
The Dahlia show has always proven the
most popular event of the year, so that
the coming exhibition may justly be ex-
pected to overshadow all former displays.
The Massachusetts Horticultural Society
offers a silver and a bronze medal for the
best display of Dahlias, besides liberal
money prizes in the many regular classes.
The Dahlia Society of New England also
has provided a most attractive schedule.
The officers of the latter society are:
president, Thomas Leavitt, Dorchester;
vice-president, J. K. Alexander, East
Bridgewater; secretary, Ralph W. Clark,
Brockton; treasurer, Edgar W. Darling,
New Bedford.

News Notes

Moe Liebman, at the Flower Ex-
change Market, is receiving well grown
blooms of Ward, Benora, Morning Glow
and Beacon Carnations from Leonard
Cousins of Concord.

Mr. and Mrs. Jack Feldman are proud-
ly rejoicing in the advent of a first
born baby boy who came to bless their
home on Aug. 4. Jack Feldman is em-
ployed at the Boston Floral Supply &
Snyder Co., and finds this li'l old world
a good place to live in.

W. H. Elliott & Sons, Madbury^ N. H.,
are installing two brand new boilers in
their mammoth greenhouses.

Chester Paine of Randolph, Mass., with
wife and kiddies, is off on a well earned

vacation in Maine, where he will gather
strength for the boxing up of his usual
half million of forcing bulbs. While up
there he will escape the job of cutting
the rest of his acres of Gladioli, a job that
doesn't bring much money at present.

Miss S. V. Mellen, bookkeeper at the
office of the Boston Rose Co., in the
Flower Exchange Market, has returned
from a two weeks vacation which she
sx^ent at various points along the coast.

Wm. Carr, at the Flower Exchange
Market, wears a smile that doesn't want
to come off. As you know, besides being
one of our best salesmen in the market, he
manipulates a good sized farm at North
Pembroke and nothing tickles him more
than to scoop the premiums at the Marsh-
field Fair. He showed the hayseeds down
his way what's what when he lugged off
half a bushel or so of prizes last year,
and, by heck, he beat his own record last
week, capturing six firsts and four sec-
onds for the most excellently grown agri-
cultural products. Besides, he was yic«
torious in the chicken department, which
is not to be wondered at because he is
some chicken fancier. Anyhow, he walked
off with one special and one first for pul-W
Lets. Not so worse! What?

At the large Rose establishment of
Peirce Brothers, Waltham, the whole
heating plant is being totally renewed.
Instead of the two horizontal tubular boil- -'
ers there have been installed two un-
commonly large Babcock & Wilcox water
tube boilers of 350 horse power each. They
are being fitted so that they can be used
for either coal or fuel oil, which latter-
material is going to b'ej employed pres-
ently. The boiler shed is just now under
construction and will be an imposing
structure. In connection with the above,
it may be noted that cast off steam boil-
ers are in great demand by the fuel oil
people, who transform them into oil tanks
after the tubes are taken out.

F. W. Holbrow of Dorchester is chang-
ing his heating plant over for the use of
oil. The Quidnick greenhouses at Quid-
nick, R. I., are also changing over to oil
and so is the large vegetable concern of
Wyman Brothers in Arlington. M. Er-
nest Moore of Lexington, who has been
using fuel oil to heat one-half of his 150,-
000 feet of glass, is installing oil equip-
ment in the other half at present. He has
been burning oil for the past two years. J

Drawing a Crowd

Here is the receipt for making
people stop in front of your window and
congregrate in swarms; to make them
laugh, enjoy themselves and have some-
thing to talk about when they get home.
Fix up, in your show window, a water
pool, with gentle cascade and rocks; do
not forget to place a few logs and plenty
of water plants, such as Water Hyacinths,
Papyrus, small Callas and Caladiums, etc.
Don't forget a dozen or so of live alli-
gators; turtles of different kinds and sizes,
besides what other denizens of the mys-
terious swamp you can get hold of. Bet
a million dollars you are going to attract
the crowds and no mistake. Houghton
Gorney, under the Park street church
have fitted up just such a . window and
its attractive power supersedes all ex-
pectations. To watch one of the ferocious,
dreamy-eyed "gaters" wander up onto a
rocky ledge and then tumble back into
the pool is fun. Or to see him stalk an
innocent, lonely fly and — whoop-la, detach
it from a miserable existence, keeps one
gazing. The alligators in the window of
Houghton Gorney come direct from
Florida and seem to enjoy their new
home immensely.

Albert Neddy, at N. F. McCarthy Co.'s
on Otis St., and Miss Josephine Kelley of
Dorchester were married on Sept. 3. A
'"ception at the handsomely decorated
home of the bride was followed by the
departure of the happy couple on the
honeymoon tour which will take them
through the northern States of New
York.

Visitors in town this week, included
Frank Ballas, wife and daughter from
Lansing, Mich. Mr. Ballas is connected
with the Lansing Floral Co.

George Severen of Olympia, Wash., is
also making a week's stay in Boston.

The Market

The market for the opening days
of September was dull and uninteresting.
With Labor Day as the last holiday of
the Summer season, there was little busi-
ness to be expected. The supply of all
flowers shows very little change over our
last report, with the exception that there
are fewer Gladioli. Asters remain plen-
tiful and are bringing small returns. The
supply and quality of all Roses is excel-
lent, with a supply ahead of the demand.
The supply of Easter and Auratum Lilies
is up to all requirements. The vanguard
of the Dahlia crop is coming in. The
market is overcrowded with Larkspur,
and what to do with it is a problem; ap-
parently it is grown by the acre. There
are a few more Golden Glow Chrysanthe-
mums. Taking it from all angles, it is a
buyers' market.

Notes

A severe hailstorm swept over
Chester county the last day of August
and did serious damage to outside crops,
but to date we have had no report of any
damage to greenhouses. The tail end of
the storm passed over Philadelphia and
at the establishment of the Robert Craig
Co. at Norwood hail fell as large as
marbles. Van states that it looked serious
for awhile, and while no glass was brok-
en, it removed the shading and whitewash
from all the houses.

There was only one baseball game
last week and that was not a league game.
The Niessen's played Bayersdorfer's at
Belmont, and Niessen's handed the supply
men a one-sided lacing by the score of
8 to 1.

S. S. Pennock is up in New Hampshire
with his family for a rest and a cure of
hay fever.

Arthur H. Lanser of South Ardniore is
cutting a fine late crop of Asters. He is
also erecting a new house.

The entire seed district was closed La-
bor Day and part of the cut flower mar-
ket half a day.

Robert A. Craig joined his father at
Ocean Grove for a week's vacation over
Labor Day.

Charles H. Grakelow is in Europe and
is expected back within a month.

Berger Bros.' store looks very clean and
inviting in its new suit of white and
green.

George Burton is doing preliminary
work on his new farms at Arlington, in
preparation for the erection of a range
of glass that will eventually house 100,000
Rose plants.

The Henry F. Michell Co. has its An-
dalusia Nurseries in the pink of condi-
tion which will delight the expectant
visitors.

The Leo Niessen Co. is featuring the
first Golden Glow Chrysanthemums.

The Henry A. Dreer, Inc. nurseries at
Riverview are a blaze of glory with their
fields of Cannas and Dahlias.

Club Meeting

The Florists Club met at the Ho-
tel Adelphia on Tuesday evening, Sept. 5.
The attendance was limited to a few of
the regulars, and the meeting was over in
a very few minutes. Nomination of offi-
cers to serve for the next term, to be
voted on at the October meeting, are
Leo Niessen, president; John Prince, vice-
president; Robert Kift and E. P. Klinger,
secretary; and George Craig, treasurer.

North Platte, Neb.

Emil Merscheid, proprietor of the
North Platte Floral Co., is located here
on the Lincoln Highway, opposite the
cemetery. He specializes in cut flowers
and floral designs, pot plants, perennials,
etc., and does a wonderful business in
young vegetable plants. Beginning just a
short time ago, he has developed a busi-
ness which this year will call for a million
vegetable plants, his customers coming
principally from West Nebraska and East
Wyoming. Tomato and Sweet Potato
plants are leading specialties with him.
In that locality he reports his plants do
well. To be privileged to have had five
minutes conversation with Mr. Merscheid
was a pleasure, inasmuch as the narrative
of his progress gives us further insight
into the wonderful developments which
are being made in the newer parts of the
circle of floriculture and horticulture. In-
cidentally, Mr. Merscheid is a great ad-
mirer of The Florists Exchange.

Bellaire, O. — Bryan Brothers have
opened a flower shop in connection with
their jewelry store. A charming window
display attracted attention on the day
of opening — it was the reproduction of
an old mill having the running water,

it. Favors were given to the ladies in
the form of Ophelia Roses. W. N. B.

FOR YOU

Forget Holland and Boskoop. From the
looks of things there "will be more quaran-
tines against our Dutch friends instead of
less.

Grow your own stock. If grown under
Skinner System of watering, you com-
pletely overcome the dry weather gamble.
It waters delicate seedlings without the
slightest injury ; waters them uniformly
and without packing of the soil. Saves
no end of labor.

Don't put off its installation until next
Spring. Fall is the time to do it. Next
Spring you will be too busy and your
plants and your pocketbook will both
suffer. You know this watering question
is no new one to us. We have been at it
a score and more of years.

Gentlemen: — I take great pleasure in recommending your Plant Spray,
especially on Boxwood and Shrubs. Also find it satisfactory for under
glass if troubled with red spider, thrips, scale or other insects.

I always have a barrel on hand as it has proven the best spray for all

AXFIXO CONTACT DUST

(THE SUPERIOR NICOTINE DUST)

Highly efficient in the control of all aphis, green fly, white fly, mealy bug, thrips,
midge, rice spider, ants, caterpillar, and many other soft bodied insects.

AXFIXO is not a tobacco dust — it is a nicotine dust which gives off nicotine gas
when exposed to the air. This gas envelops the entire plant insuring death to all
insects. It will not injure the most delicate foliage.

Excellent for either indoor or outdoor work. Packed in 5-, 50-, 100-lb. containers.

King Construction Co.,
North Tonawanda, N. Y.

Gentlemen: — We are sending a few pictures that
we had taken recently showing the range of houses
you have built for us from time to time. As you
know, we have five houses, 28x250 feet, and also
a propagating house which were purchased through
your Scranton representative, Mr. T. J. Nolan.

The houses are planted primarily to roses,
carnations, 'mums, and a general line for our
retail business.

We are very much pleased with the houses and
believe them to be all that one could ask for.
They are of first-class workmanship and materi-
als, are strong, well put together and produce a
minimum of shade. Modern high-grade houses of
this type go a long way toward producing the
high-grade stock that we have been sending out.

When. we build another house, it will be a King.
Yours very truly,

W. J. Evenden's Sons

are the main features in the cut flower market.

The best ASTERS of the season are coming in

Prices in most every line are reasonable at this
season of the year, particularly you should keep
yourself posted on the market, so that you may
know in what lines good flowers can be had, so
that you can suggest to your customers what to

Fifty-seven Years on One Job

Sept. 2 completed 57 j'ears since
Thomas Benwell entered the employ of
A. H; Hews & Co.'s pot factory in Cam-
bridge, Mass. Since Sept. 2, 1865, Tom
has witnessed many changes in the flo-
rist business; he likes to tell about those
far-away days when the only florists
around Boston were Zirngiebel in Need-

ham; Fewkes in Newton; Ross, in the
same town; Sam Warren, in Waltham
and Hovey in Cambridge. The green-
houses at that time were short and nar-
row structures, each heated with a flue
in which cordwood sticks were used for
fuel. Coal shortage and coal strikes
were then not dreamed of. The demand
for flower pots was small and the few
florists would call at the factory in their
carry-alls and take away whatever pots
they needed. Mr. Benwell is as hale and
hearty as ever and a more pleasant and
jovial pot salesman it will be hard to
find; there is hardly a man who can
claim so many florists as his friends.

Osgood Brothers, Everett, Mass., are
changing their heating system over so as
to be able to burn oil. The system which
they employ demands no alterations in the
interior of the fire chamber and the change
to go back to coal burning is easily and
quickly accomplished.

Among the Growers

Arthur Capers of Natick has his
new Lord & Burnham greenhouse planted
with Marguerites and Sweet Peas. The
other house, a 200ft. xSoft. King, is filled
with Carnations, Bonnaffon and Pompon
Chrysanthemums and one bench of Mig-
nonette. In the open are to be found
fields of Asters, Zinnias and Bachelor
Buttons.

Thomas Capers, the father of Arthur
Capers, is situated not so very far away
at Needham Heights where, as Mr. Capers
expresses it, there is not one foot of level
land- Notwithstainding this faxstj the
fields hold such fine lots of Cleveland
Cherries, Pompon Chrysanthemums,
Bachelor Buttons and perennial Lark-
spurs, all of which will presently be
transferred to the houses. Mr. Capers
also does quite a little in Geraniums. The
largest greenhouse, a model of neatness,
is planted entirely to Carnations which
are in the pink of perfection; they include
the following varieties: Benora, Ward,
Matchless and Beacon. The grounds
around the greenhouses and the private
residence are beautifully kept and show
many line gioups of shrubbery as well
as fine specimen trees.

Inexpensive Shading Material for
Greenhouses

One of the largest and most pros-
perous greenhouse establishments near
Boston has found powdered clay the cheap-
est and, under all circumstances, most sat-
isfying material for shading greenhouses.
This clay comes in finely powdered and
sifted form from the old established pot
factory of A. H. Hews & Co., Inc., of
Cambridge, Mass., and costs $2 per bar-
rel. It covers as much glass as material
that costs five or six times as much. For
just temporary shading the clay is sim-
ply mixed with water to the desired con-
sistency and sprayed on with the pump.
If wanted to stay on the glass for some
considerable time, say two or three
months, a two and one quarter inch pot
full of linseed oil to four gallons of the
clay and water preparation, will do the
trick. If wanted to stay on longer still,
use more of the oil. The oil is incor-
porated with clay and water mixture by
the use of the force pump. This shad-
ing does not affect putty or paint.

Chrysanthemums Eaten

E. J. B., N. Y — The underside of the
leaves is being eaten by a minute cater-
pillar similar to that which feeds upon
Rose and other foliage. Nicotine pos-
sibly failed to destroy them because the
fluid did not reach the underside where
the pests feed. Any reliable insecticide as
used for soft bodied insects, will kill the
pest, as will fumigation. You may also
use arsenate of lead, but it must be forced
under the foliage as the maggots do not
eat through the upper membrane of the
leaf.

Can any reader give a remedy or pre-
ventive for the so-called leaf tyer? This
pest is infesting much of our stock and is
devouring rapidly the foliage of Chrysan-
themums and other plants. — M. E.P., N. Y.

We do not recognize the name "leaf
tyer," but assume the pest is one of the
multitude of caterpillars or worms which
emanate from eggs laid on the foliage by
butterflies or moths. Assuming the plants
are under glass, nicotine fumigation
ought to clear them or any one of the
poison sprays will be efficacious. It is
a recognized practice to spray or dust
with poison to destroy leaf eaters.

cent of your trouble is due to deep plant-
ing. Some of the plants look as if they
had been planted 6in. deep or earthed up
to that extent. Plant just as shallow as
you can. Carnations simply will not put
up with deep planting any more than will
Asters. Where stem rot is abundant in
these plants, we always suspect deep plant-
ing and lack of lime in the soil. Plant
so that the top roots are almost on the
surface.

Different Heating

Fittings Are Shown

In the Handy Hand Book

Every kind of heating fitting that is being used today is there.
Also hundreds of the ones that used to be used, which wc
keep in stock to take cere of those who need some replace-
ments every once in awhile. There are close to fifty pages out of
the 150 pages of the book devoted entirely to heating.

Don't Put Off

It seems almost foolish to urge any of you
to get your heating in shape when all
of you know so well what it means to
put it off till frost comes. Get down your
Handy Hand Book. Order what you
need before the fall rush comes, with,

perchance, delivery delays that may cost
you many a hard-earned dollar. If you
haven't a Handy Hand Book, send for
one at once. It's a counselor, friend and
guide for all your greenhouse heating,
equipping and building problems.

Summing Up the Heating Situation

The problem of keeping the greenhouse warm over Winter has nothing new about it— it is one of those questions that are both annual and per-
ennial and never settled for all time. But this year the situation is more vital, more acute than ever, because of the fuel supply complications.
Coal— oil— wood or a freezeout ? Which shall it be in your case ? Not that there is any reason to become despondent. On the contrary there
is every reason why you should dig in all the more vigorously to meet and overcome existing obstacles. This you can do—\i you get busy and
study the situation and decide soon upon your wisest course. The following observations from various sources' on all sides of the~subject will,
we think, help you.

The Trend of the Coal Situation

IMPORTANT developments in the coal situation, as
I we reach the middle of September, include the fol-
\ lowing: First, the resumption of hard coal mining
i| Sept. 11 ; second, the announcement of an embargo
i large Eastern railroads as a preparatory step to
I increased transportation . of coal supplies ; and,
;!rd, the development of various State and local
ichineries for the carrying out of coal rationing
iiedules until supplies shall again approach normal
^portions.

Che return of the hard coal miners to work, is of
Hrse, a gratifying feature of the situation, but it
list not be taken for granted that this will imme-
j.tely be followed by maximum production. In the
Jit place, we are told, there is an actual and serious
sbrtage of skilled labor, such as is required in the
Shracite mines. "When the strike was declared large
ambers of workers left the mining districts, some
3 them returning to their native homes in Europe,
ad others going into other lines of work which they
efe now reluctant to leave. This distribution of labor
aay from the concentrated production points will
tjce some time to overcome. In the second place,
li; period of inaction since the mines shut down has
Bulted in considerable deterioration of the proper-
te, to the extent that not a few mines are actually
dngerous to work in at present, and will have to be
± in much better condition before they can be ef-
Jttvely worked. At the same time, the very fact
tat the deadlock has been ended, and that such
jbkers as are available are once more active, means
tit the production of coal has actually begun once
lire, and, unless unforeseen developments occur,
Smld continue at a steadily increasing rate.
The railroad embargo is but another intimation of
ts limits to which the country is prepared to -go in
wding off the danger of a coal famine this coming
''inter. It will, of course, result in some incon-
viienee at main shipping points but, as the roads
S3 providing for the movement of essential food-
siffs, seeds, fertilizers, and other preferred materials,
fe interruption of certain types of traffic must be,
fd will be, viewed as a relatively unimportant and
tnporary disturbance.

As to the actual supplies on hand and . in sight : it
Sims to be the opinion of authorities that domestic
(osuniers of hard coal will have to reconcile theni-
slves to the use of some soft coal fuel this coming
'inter, no matter how effectively the anthracite
iners work between now and cold weather.
An interesting summary of conditions made by
!dney A. Hale, editor of the Coal Trade Journal,
1 Wished in the New York Times of Sept. 11, reads
i. part, as follows :

"Welcome as the end of the suspension of hard coal
:ining will be, consumers who have been accustomed
' burn anthracite coal for domestic purposes will be
;:)ring up trouble for themselves if they fail to aug-
3nt their supplies, present and prospective, with a
:rcentage of bituminous coal or other fuel. Even with
■e railroads furnishing 100 per cent service and the
ines working at top speed from now on, it would be
tysically impossible to make up the losses in tonnage
iring the 23 weeks the mines have been idle.
"The average yearly shipments of anthracite during
,e seven years ended last December were 70,369,571
'oss tons. In only two years in that period have
dpments exceeded the average. In 1917 ship-
ents reached 77,133,305 tons and in 1918 the total
as 76.749,919. Last year shipments dropped to 67,617,-
:3 tons. The seven-year figures represent an average
onthly shipment of 5,864,130 tons. The highest month-
r shipment on record, March 1918, was 7,276,717 tons.

this rate could be maintained without break for
te rest of the current coal year — highly improbable

not obviously impossible — the shipments for the
;ar would total 48,511,446 tons. This would be 21,858,-
85 tons less than the average and 19,106,267 tons be-
iind the last calendar year. Even if we discard all
'zes below pea, the deficiency would total between
■00,000 and 15,000,000 tons.

"No rationing system based upon a principle of ex-
usion can take care of this deficiency. Cutting out
1 shipments to Central, Northwestern and Trans-
rississippi States, the output would fall several mil-
on tons short of covering the loss due to the suspen-
on. With the dock interests of the producing com-
plies in the Northwest and Central States, and long-
Uablished trade connections in other parts of the
iuntry, it is not likely that the Eastern tier of States
m hope for all the production.

"The idea that production might be increased above
ie maximum records cited through lengthening the
orking day at the mines may be dismissed. In the

first place, the miners' union is opposed to a working
day longer than eight hours, and the average coal cut-
ter actually works less than eight hours a day. Under
the Pennsylvania State laws, workers must have a
certificate, issued only after two years' experience, so
that the idea of importing labor offers no hope. Inas-
much as demands upon the mines will absorb all the
qualified labor now available, working double shifts is
out of the question,"

As an illustration of State organization, New York
is making definite plans for the distribution and pro-
portionment of whatever supplies of fuel become
available. State Fuel Administrator W. H. Woodin
is appointing nine district assistants, and is to be
asked to constitute each of the organized coal dealers
in the State a deputy official of his administration.
It is also proposed that buyers will have to certify as
to their actual needs of all coal purchased while the
shortage exists, and that careful count will be kept
of both the activities of coal dealers and the pur-
chases made by consumers.

While it is believed that serious hardship can be
avoided by careful control and continuous careful
.economy, nevertheless, the full effect of the coal
strike seems not to have been felt as yet. It may
take the experiences of- the first few weeks of cold
weather to bring the public generally to a full under-
standing of the part that they will have to play in
meeting the situation.

The above survey does not of course treat in detail
the florists' pro.blems. Where the grower has been in
the habit of using hard coal, however, it will show
him that he must be prepared both to economize and
to augment his .supplies with some bituminous fuel.
Those who have been in the habit of burning soft coal
will probably be able to secure what they actually
need, though they, too, should keep a careful eye on
their fireman. And then, of course, there is the pos-
sibility of sidestepping all coal difficulties through the
installation of oil burners, as has been discussed in
recent issues, and as will be discussed in The Ex-
change so long as we can supply our readers with
helpful and timely information.

A Texas View of Heating with Oil

(The following is the report of our Houston (Tex.)
correspondent and is based largely on data secured
from the manufacturers of a successful oil burner —
said to be the largest exclusive manufacturers of oil
burners in the world.)

An oil burner can be installed under any coal burn-
ing, wood burning, or other fuel burning boiler in the
world.

Average boilers range in capacity from 2000 sq. ft.
to 6000 sq. ft. of surface. An oil burning equipment
can be installed in any such boiler for from $700 to
$1000. This cost includes the burner, the blower, and
a 1000-gallon fuel oil tank and the installation of
the whole outfit.

The average fuel consumption ratio of an oil
burner to a coal grate, is three barrels of oil to one
ton of coal. Fuel oil right now is retailing at about
$1.50 a barrel, while coal costs one diamond ring per
ton ! The most conservative fuel estimate gives a
saving of 50 per cent of the average coal bill.

How much was your coal bill last year? How
much is half of that? Is it enough to cover the cost
mentioned above? Then distribute the cost over
a period of two or three years.

What will the labor saving be over that required
by coal, storing it, etc. — in view of the fact that one
man can operate an oil burner?

Is the economy of space, in that oil burners do
away with the coal bin, and require only a tank,
which can be put in any out of the way place, an im-
portant item for you to consider?

Is the element of cleanliness an appealing one to
you?

You may say "Yes, but does it work?" An answer
to that is supplied by Mr. Bebb, manager of The
Wichita Floral Co., Wichita Falls, Texas, who writes :

"In the two years that we have had experience
with this method of heating we have found it eco-
nomical and efficient. It means a saving of labor as
well as a saving of fuel, and it maintains a very uni-
form degree of heat. We believe that we have saved
the entire cost of the machine in the time that we
have had it."

The writer of this article is a Texan, situated right
in the middle of a lot of oil fields. And down here
we feel that it is as primitive to burn coal as it is to
drive a horse and buggy. Hence our enthusiasm on
the subject of oil burners. Theoretically, and practi-
cally, too, they are the most efficient, and economical
heating system known.

The writer will be glad to furnish more detailed
information upon request, or direct any person who
may be interested toward sources of facts and as-
sistance. C. E. Wademan.

A Practical Outfit in Providence, R. I.

Answering your inquiry about the use of oil fuel
for florists, I am glad to give you some facts about
the system and burner that seems -most popular in
this section, namely Providence, Pawtucket and vi-
cinity. Of the 234 installations hereabouts, only four
are at present in greenhouses, namely those of F.
Macrae & Sons, and T. O'Connor, Providence, J. E.
Koppelman, East Providence and F. C. Hoffman, Paw-
tucket. However, these four are the only local florist
establishments that, to my knowledge, are burning
oil at all, with the exception of the Budlong Rose
Co. of Auburn, R. I., which uses another system that
I hope to describe in the near future.

The outfit found in the four places above mentioned
is known as the turbine mechanical equipment for
greenhouse boiler rooms. It consists, as a whole, of
(1.) a proper oil storage tank of reinforced concrete
or steel, (2) a combination fan and pump set of suit-
able capacity, (3) a regulator to control the flow of
oil to the burners, (4) the burner and firebox work
in the boiler proper, and (5) regular and special pip-
ing, fittings, draft gauges, thermometers, pressure
gauges, pipe covering, etc.

When the greenhouse is a considerable distance
from an oil delivery point, a large size tank is recom-
mended, that will provide a generous reserve supply
to draw on between deliveries. In and around Provi-
dence we have tanks ranging from 5000 to 10,000 and
12,000 gallons capacity. For the ordinary greenhouse
installation these are ample to meet the customer's
needs of reserve oil.

The oil burning equipment proper is a combination
fan and pump set consisting of a motor (approxi-
mately iy2 h.p.), a bronze geared oil pump, a fan
and fan assembly, and an oil strainer, all mounted
on a cast iron bed plate.

The motor operates the pump that moves the oil,
under pressure of about 25 lbs., through the oil
heater and the oil regulator to the burner in the
firebox. The fan forces air through a duct into the
burner where it has a twofold purpose; first it re-
volves the turbine cup at the burner tip. and second,
it sprays the oil from the end of the cup into the
firebox where it burns in suspension.

An important supplementary apparatus which is
advocated at points where the electrical current is
not altogether dependable is a small 3 or 4 h.p. gaso-
line engine to be used when the current fails or the
transmission line breaks. This enables an oil burn-
ing apparatus to be run 24 hours a day without any
interruption and assures the owner of the greenhouse
that his valuable crop is not going to be injured by
any drop in temperature that might come during a
storm when the electric wires are down, or in some
other emergency.

The advantages of burning oil are numerous and
substantial. Aside from a marked economy of fuel
there is a saving in labor, in ashes and their han-
dling; quicker steaming boilers, an increased boiler
capacity and a more steady, even and dependable
heat result, all of which are keenly appreciated by a
florist.

Here is what Mr. Macrae has to say of his outfit:
"We have been using the Petroleum Heat and Power
Co.'s turbine system of oil burning and have found
it very satisfactory. But like several other burners of
the same type it depends upon electric power which
sometimes is shut off for one reason or another when
your heating plant is out of business until the power
returns. For this reason we have installed a gasoline
engine as an auxiliary means of driving the motor
when the power goes off. which is not very often."

A Concession that Continues to Prohibit

An Open Forum on the Question of Importing Rhododendrons, etc. Without Soil —
The F. H. B.'s Latest Edict Viewed in the Light of a Consensus of Horticultural Opinion

New York Florists Club

Opening Meeting of the Season

WHEN, recently, we received the announcement of the F. H. B. that it had extended the period for the
issuance of permits for the importation of Rhododendron ponticum, Azalea pontica and Acer palma-
tum for another year, we immediately prepared and sent to a number of leading nurserymen and hor-
ticulturists a letter asking their opinion as to the practicability of importing such stock with roots washed
clean of all soil, and also asking for any suggestions they could make as to methods of packing such
plants, so as to overcome possible dangers of the root washing process.

We give below a number of the replies received It would be interesting to know what the dangerous
from different parts of the country, and want to call pests and diseases are which have in recent years

attention to the almost unanimous opinion that these
ericaceous plants cannot be transported considerable
distances, after their roots have been cleaned of all
soil, without suffering serious injury amounting
either to early death or a lingering weakness and
final demise.

There is forced upon us the conclusion that the
F. H. B.'s extension of time is essentially an attempt
to make a good impression upon those who are not
experienced and fully informed on this subject. It
cannot be that the Board has been so misinformed
as to think that these plants can be imported in
considerable numbers without danger and without
loss under the restrictions it imposes. If, on the
other hand, its members realize what obstacles they
have placed in the path of would-be importers, they
must know that these are sufficient to deter, if not to
entirely prevent importing activities. If so, what can
their action be called but insincere? If they are de-
termined to keep out foreign plants, why don't they
do it frankly, by order, not indirectly by raising un-
surmountable obstacles, poorly camouflaged as con-
cessions and benefits?

Why not, as one of our correspondents suggests,
have the F. H. B., in collaboration with the Bureau
of Plant Industry, import some plants under the rul-
ings that it is endeavoring to impose on the trade?
Let these plants be handled just as the average nur-
seryman has to handle them, with just as careful at-
tention to cost details and economy of time and labor.
If the Department can achieve even moderate success
under such conditions, let it then publish the exact
methods of handling the material so that members of
the trade may benefit from the investigations carried
on. It seems entirely wrong that so far as the nur-
seryman and the florist are concerned, the Depart-
ment of Agriculture should represent only a police
organization designed to control and harass them.
It has in the past published thousands of bulletins
and circulars telling farmers how to grow and han-
dle their crops. Why not let some such literature be
issued giving ornamental horticulturists the assist-
ance that they now are so seriously in need of?

The F. H. B. says that it has a huge army of ex-
perts standing back of it, recommending and approv-
ing its actions. Can we not have these same experts
tell us how florists and nurserymen can coordinate
their efforts and methods with the regulations that
the Federal Board is imposing on the two trades?

Wanted — Testimony from Those Who Have
Done It

The letting down of the quarantine bars to permit
the importation of seedling Rhododendron ponticum.
Azalea pontica and Acer palmatum not over three
years of age, until July 1, 1923, provided the roots
are washed free of soil, etc., is pretty much of a
joker. While it may be true that some of the F. H.
B.'s expert advisers have in the past been able to im-
port stock of these varieties in this condition, packed
in damp moss, sand or other sterilized and fumigated
condition, "I hae ma doots o' it," as the canny Scotch-
man remarked. The nurserymen who are importing
the stock of these varieties, freed from all earth and
allied substances, and who really believe they can
successfully import them, should stand out and let
themselves be counted. Let those who have had the
temerity to bring in evergreens free of soil at the
roots, have the kindness to tell us how successful they
have been. Can it be possible that some of them
have had such signal success that they are prepared
to plunge more heavily !

Those of us who have spent a whole lifetime in
practical horticulture know full well how extremely
difficult it is to make even quite small plants of
members of the Ericaceae live, even with the best
of treatment right at home ; also that plants dug
3000 miles away, denuded of all earth and packed
in moss, or any other acceptable material, are surely
going to have a severe struggle for existence.

Surely a board of such eminent scientists as the
F. H. B., with such a notable array of expert ad-
visers should be able to render portions of earth
harmless by sterilizing, fumigating, or both, and this
without harming the plants.

been intercepted on earth balls of various plants, such
as are now under discussion.

Seedlings of Rhododendron ponticum three years
old might well be ISin. to 24in. high, if their growth
abroad approximates what they will do here. I
would say that it would be the height of folly to' im-
port such stock no matter*how careful the treatment
we could give them after their arrival. The chances
of such plants establishing themselves in a moist and
comparatively warm climate are far less than in Hol-
land or Great Britain.

The limitations of the height of Manetti stocks
hereafter to ISin. seems absolutely silly. Any ex-
porter can very easily cut his plants back to that
height. Is there not just as much probability of an
ISin. plant bringing in infection as a 36in. one? And
if for that matter it is safe to import unbudded
Manettis of any height at all, by what sophistical rea-
son can budded or grafted Roses of a similar height
be proved any more dangerous?

If the F. H. B. and its expert advisers are so cer-
tain that fine hairlike-rooted plants, such as are now
under consideration, can be successfully imported,
why not have them make such an importation, packed
in the way they suggest ; let them utilize some of
their ample Arlington acres for experimental work
of this kind ; and teach the doubting Thomases in the
horticultural world that what we consider difficult
and dangerous, is just the reverse — when in really
competent hands.

Brookline, Mass. W. N. Ceaig.

Permits Useless Under Existing Conditions

Although not one of the leading growers in this
country I should like to express my opinion in regard
to the F. H. B.'s recent letter extending the time limit
for the importation of Rhododendron ponticum and
Azalea pontica. It is amusing to note the Board's
persistency in requiring the washing of the roots free
from sand, soil or earth. The Board admits that con-
siderable losses have occurred in recent importations
of these plants and gives that as one reason why the
time limit is extended.

If a Rhododendron ponticum could be brought over
with a little soil attached to the roots, enough to in-
sure its survival, a good grower should be able to
save at least 95 per cent of his plants. The losses as
reported by the Board prove specifically that it is not
a sound business investment to import Rhododendron
ponticum or Azalea pontica for propagating purposes,
as long as existing regulations remain in force. As
far as I am personally concerned, the time limit
could be extended indefinitely and I would not wast';
the paper to ask for a permit. I wish the members
of the F. H. B. would personally attempt to lift a
3-year-old Rhododendron with a ball of earth about
Sin. in diameter, then try to shake off most of the
soil and wash off the remainder. They would realize
they had an almost hopeless task before them and
also that such a plant would have small chance of
living after such treatment.

I am sure if we should place an order for a few
thousand Rhododendrons of grafting size with our
Boskoop nurseries, and instruct them to wash the
roots clean, my father would first inquire if a case
of shell-shock had developed in me even though the
war has been over for three years. (Here some critic
may say that this last paragraph explains my atti-
tude toward Qu. 37, the probability being I am in the
importing business. This is not so ; we are starting a
nursery in this country and are in favor of the Quar-
antine in principle.)

However if anyone wishes to import Rhododendron
or Azalea seedlings, I would advise buying 2-year-old
plants or else the lighter grade 3-year-old stock. If
you buy the 3-year-old or grafting size plants you
have to pot the plants up as soon as they are received
in the Fall. On account of there being no soil on
their roots it would require at least a 4in. pot to
pot up such a plant properly and work the soil all
through the fibrous roots. It could not be done satis-
factorily in a 2%in. or 3in. pot. As the average propa-

CLOSE upon 100 members gathered at the Engi-
neers Building, W. 39th St., on Monday, Sept.
11. under President Roman J. Irwin. Perhaps
not so big a crowd as might be, considering the two
months' suspension, but then the' weather was hot
and muggy and maybe everyone has not recuperated
from their strenuous vacations at Kansas City, Can-
ada and the rest of the places where many of our flo-
rists and growers have been meandering in recent
times in search of rest and — well, it doesn't matter.
The meeting was just one of the routine type, with
no specially heavy business on hand, so that there
was ample opportunity for the "trippers" to talk about
the Kansas City convention, the Canadian convention,
etc.

The Exhibits

The exhibits were limited ; the largest and most
important was the collection of 50 varieties of Dahlias
and some two dozen sorts of Gladioli from John
Lewis Childs, Flowerfield, N. Y. Some of the Dahlias,
including the fine giant Cactus, Sunkiss, were shown
in large bunches ; the rest were superb individual
blooms of the Cactus and Decorative types. Specially
good were Gladys Sherwood, F. W. Fellows, King of
the Autumn, Golden West, J. K. Alexander and Pier-
rot. Especially fine among the Gladioli were Salmon
Beauty (Primulinus), Evelyn Kirkland, Attraction,
White Giant and Dawn. A cultural certificate was
awarded.

Chas. H. Totty, Madison, N. J., gave the members
an opportunity of seeing the new Rose, Hill's Ameri-
ca, in its Summer dress. . Wonderfully good flowers,
full and well colored with stems a yard or more long,
with one pinch. Surely some grower. Vote of thanks
accorded,

H. Bayersdorfer Co., N. T., exhibited several sam-
ples of the American Legion emblem, same being made
with blue chenille with silver and gilt lettering. Vote
of thanks.

Business Doings

Following the minutes, Secretary John Young
read the resolutions drawn up by the committee on
the death of Patrick Welch. All members stood dur-
ing the reading and it was agreed that the resolutions
be embodied in the records and a copy be sent the
relatives of the much esteemed late member.

Paul Rigo, for the Transportation Committee,
briefly referred to the success of the tour de luxe. He
reported a balance of about $12 and, at his sugges-
tion, a motion was carried to the effect that this
sum be devoted toward purchasing some small token
of appreciation for Mr. Tuthill, who was responsible
for the splendid itinerary. It was also agreed that
the club's thanks be tendered the florists of the Twin
Cities for the welcome which they extended to the
party and also to C. B. Tinsman for the services he
rendered during the entire tour.

New Members

The following nominations for membership were
submitted, it being agreed that the election of these
take the usual course. John Murray Harris, Vaughan's
Seed Store, Barclay St., New York; Fowler Marsden,
Central ave., Lawrence, N. Y. ; Peter Reis, Union
Hill, N. J. ; Lester Ortis, Bernardsville, N. J.

Unfinished Business

Under this heading, Secretary Young reported the
receipt of $145 from Mr. Newbold, this being the bal-
ance of the sum derived from the Spring show. In all,
the club is some $6145 the richer for the show. The
secretary pointed out that this sum, under the by-
laws of the club, could only be allocated to the flower
show fund, and President Irwin stated that he would
shortly call a meeting of the Board of Trustees for
the purpose of dealing with the flower show and
life membership funds.

A letter from Prof. E. A. White relating to the

Notes from Abroad

During the past week the weather has
been very steady, remarkably so for the
British climate. There has been a fair
amount of sunshine, and this, with drier
conditions, is, so far, quite in accord with
the wishes of seed growers. A continu-
ance through September is earnestly
wished for.

In the seed growing district of Essex,
according to recent observations, crops
are, generally speaking, rather late. Sa.t-
isfactory results, however, are anticipated
if the weather keeps dry and there is a
reasonable amount of warmth. Of Pole
Beans there is a good acreage out, largely
in consequence of the high prices ruling
last year, and as the demand for the green
article is slack, owing to the present glut
of vegetable produce, a good many lots
may be left over for seed.

From the French districts there is little
to report, the general situation remaining
much the same. Tares and Sainfoin are
reported a medium crop, and the situation
as regards Lucerne and Clovers is still
somewhat uncertain.

« '4s ,ysual at tnis tim<2 °f the holiday
"dead" season, business on the flower mar-
ket is somewhat flat. The all prevailing
line at present is Asters, of which there
may be said to be a glut, but considerable
quantities are also on show of Gladioli,
Stocks, Gypsophilas single and double,
Monkshood and various colors of the an-
nual Statices. An apparently attractive
line was some well grown Celosias in pots.

This year's Shrewsbury Flower Show,
which from a small provincial affair has
grown to be one of the leading events of
the horticultural year, is reported by those
present to have equaled any of its pre-
decessors. Fine weather contributed to
its success, and a welcome feature was
the very large central tent, covering over
an acre of ground, which did much to
relieve the heat and overcrowding, so
prevalent at exhibitions of this kind, and
trying to visitors and exhibitors alike.
Transatlantic Seedsman.

Aug. 29, 1922.

August has gone, and its record has
been a peculiar one. There was less rain
than usual, but many more rainy days; in
fact, it rained on every day but nine.
There was very little sunshine in what is
generally the hottest month of the year,
and the net result is naturally to pro-
long vegetation and delay the setting of
seed. A fine September may, however,
make amends for all this.

From the growing districts of France,
the weather has been very dry of late,
but not so much so as to cause any ma-
terial damage. The prospects of biennial
vegetable seed crops remain much the
same, though Parsnips and Turnips may
be somewhat better than was at one time
anticipated. Most of the annual crops — ■
Bush Beans, Melons, Tomatoes, etc., are
all looking well up to date, but Peas are
not coming up to the estimates previously
formed. As regards flower seeds, some
shrinkage may be expected, owing to the
dry weather, especially in the South.

From Holland Cauliflowers, Berecola,
Brussels Sprouts, Spinach, Peas, etc., are
reported as fair crops, but other articles
are more or less under average.

The German Horticultural Society
(Deutsche Gartengesellschaft) is making
a vigorous effort to revivify the interest
in horticulture, which has been adversely
affected by the lower standard of living
prevailing in the country since the war,
and has opened an exhibition in the
Schlosapark, Berlin. It will last until
Sept. 15 and will be of interest to any of
our trade confreres who may be touring
in Germany. Transatlantic Seedsman.

New York Seed Trade

What the Seed Stores Are Selling Now

As regards seeds in the strict sense
of this word the seed stores now are
selling grass seeds for lawns, golf courses,
and parks ; grass seeds, Rye, and vetch
seeds for field sowing ; some perennial
flower seeds ; vegetable seeds, such as
Cabbage, Cauliflower, Lettuce, Beets,
Radish, Turnips and some grass seed for
export to South America and other coun-
tries south of the United States. Aside
from seed, there are sales of Peony roots ;
top Onion sets for Autumn planting ;
some small nursery stock such as Grape
vines and Raspberries ; and French and
Dutch bulbs to florists and private es-
tates, although sales of bulbs over the
counter have not yet begun to any extent
worth mentioning. Besides the sales of
seeds, bulbs, and nursery stock there are
limited sales of the large number of sun-
dries which a modern seed store carries.

F. Rynveld & Sons have received a
second shipment of Lilium formosum and
have advice that their Chinese Lilies
have left the coast and are due in New
York shortly. This firm is mailing out
its complete Fall bulb catalog this week.
A full line of Dutch bulbs on its stock
order is being received and the filling of
orders will start immediately. Mr. A.
Verwey, of this company, arrived from
Europe ou the S. S. Majestic, Sept. 12.

Stumpp & Walter Co., 30-32 Barclay
st.. is expecting to make- a large store
and window display of Dahlia blooms
sometime this week of which we hope to
make note in the next issue of The Ex-
change.

Grapes in Four Months from Planting!

In the windows of Vaughan's Seed
Store this week are shown two interest-
ing specimens, the one a Dahlia bloom
of the decorative class, reminding us
somewhat in color and shape of the va-
riety Souv. Gustav de Douzon, raised
from Dahlia seed bought at Vaughan's;
the other, a Concord Grape vine, only
four months old from the time the cut-
ting was rooted but now bearing three
bunches of fruit. The nurseryman who
grew this guarantees Grape vines of all
varieties grown by his process to pro-
duce fruit when four months old.

This store is in receipt of a shipment
of Lilium candidum (227 eases), then-
first arrival, and a first large arrival of
Dutch bulbs also amounting to 900
cases. The demand for French bulbs is
reported to be strong; offers of 11cm
Paperwhite to this store by French
growers have been all rejected, as they
believe these will not bloom, and conse-
quently will have no commercial value for
florists. The demand for the Onion sets
for Fall planting is large, 10 tons being
slapped out last week. There is an active
demand for Lilium formosum and Har-
risii a full supply of which Vaughan s
has in their warehouses. White Roman
Hyacinthss are reported very scarce ;
the third shipment of Callas from the
Pacific Coast is in this week.

Calling recently at Max Schling's Seed
Store, 24 West 59th St., wc found Carl
Giessler, store manager, back from his
vacation at Yankee Lake, Sullivan
County, N. Y. He showed us the Au-
tumn bulb catalog handsomely illus-
trated in colors, and, what was still
more interesting, some of the largest
and finest bulbs of Soleil d'Or and Pa-
perwhite Narcissi we ever saw. showing
conclusively that the drought in France
this year did not prevent the growing of
some' largest size bulbs. Their first ship-
ment of monster bulbs of Lilium candi-
dum has been exhausted and a second
shipment arrived Sept. 11. We note in
the Autumn catalog above mentioned
that Rose bushes are also offered and

New York Seed Trade

{Continued from page 715)
that the Autumn planting of these is
strongly recommended. This store has
doubled its basement space which gives
abundant room for the storage of bulbs,
roots, sundries, and also seeds, if neces-
sary, as this basement is one of the
lightest and driest in any seed store in
the city.

Walter Barnwell, manager for Bur-
nett Bros.. 02 Chambers St., is back in
the city from his Summer camp in the
Adirondacks where he has been passing
the vacation with his family. George A.
Burnett and family are still sojourning
in Ireland. Samuel Burnett has ceased
to be a commuter to Denville, N. J.,
where he has been passing the Summer
with his family, and has returned to his
Jersey City home. This store has now
a complete stock of French. Dutch and
other bulbs, and is especially strong on
the large sizes for private estate use.

The MacNiff Horticultural Co., 196
Greenwich St., reports the arrival of a
large shipment of Dutch bulbs on the S. S.
New Amsterdam.

situation at the present time, that he is
having 5000 copies of it reproduced for
mailing to his trade.

Chicago Seed Trade

The first heavy shipments of Holland
bulbs have arrived at all the seed stores.
They opened up satisfactorily. That
there will be an active demand for these
is a foregone conclusion as soon as the
present period of warm weather has
passed. The first week of September was
so extremely warm that it interfered
with business of all kinds, it being over
90 deg. daily during the entire week.

R. B. Howe, president of the W. W.
Barnard Co., reports the arrival in good
condition of all early shipments of Hol-
land bulbs, about 700 cases in all. The
wholesale and retail catalogs for the Fall
are going into the mails this week. J. E.
Brown, Kingsville, Ont., was the winner
of the silver cup offered by the W. W.
Barnard Co., at the meeting and exhibi-
tion of the American Gladioli Society
held at Kalamazoo, Mich., last month. It
was won with a vase of Mrs. Dr. Norton.
This is a variety that will obtain great
prominence in the cut flower market as
soon as the bulbs become more ■ moderate
in price.

A. Henderson & Co. have issued their
Fall price list of bulbs to dealers ; the
retail catalog is also going into the mails
this week. Holland bulbs are all in and
ready for unpacking. Well grown ferns
and Rubber plants from the greenhouses
at Bata'via, 111., lend much decorative
effect to the store. Mr. Henderson was
the recipient of many congratulations
the past week on the winning of the
Ziska cup in the florists' first golf tour-
ney at the Briargate Golf Club. Aug. 31.

Vaughan's Seed Store has started its
Fall campaign of advertising in the city
papers. Attention is called to the mak-
ing and seeding of lawns in the Fall.
Department of Agriculture experts say
that seedlings from Fall sown seed
"stool" well and make stocky growth,
whereas seedlings in the Spring have a
tendency to grow spindly and quickly
from seed heads, with the approach of
long days and warm weather.

At the meeting and exhibition of the
Norwood Park Horticultural Society
held Sept. 9, James Martin, manager
of the retail store, was one of the judges.
At the West Side warehouses the ship-
ping of Paperwhite Narcissus keeps a
large working force busy. Fall Crocus
and Paperwhite Narcissus planted in
dainty receptacles for immediate bloom-
ing make an attractive window. Pot
grown Strawberry plants are in demand.
A few handsome specimens of Juniperus
virginica glauca in tubs gives the en-
trance to the store quite an arboreal ap-
pearance.

The American Bulb Co. unloaded two
cars of Holland bulbs the past week.
A. Miller states there are about 1300
cases in sight. There is a strong demand
for Brabu grown Improved Lilium For-
mosum bulbs, this Lily being a higher
and better type of the formosum family,
running more evenly than the Oshinia
type.

In the Week's Work, bv Fritz Bahr,
in The Florists Exchaxge of Sept. 2
the article: "A Talk on Paperwhites.
Does It Pay to Grow Them?" has been
of much interest to dealers, growers, and
the trade in general. It is an article that
every florist should read as it fits the
situation at the present time. It has
impressed R. B. Howe, of the W. W.
Barnard Co., as so fully covering the

California Seed Notes

Writing on Sept. 2, John Bodger &
Sons Co. of Los Angeles, Calif., state:

During the past ten days we have ex-
perienced some very warm weather in
Southern California, the thermometer
standing between 85 and 100 degrees
every day and while it has had a tendency
to ripen many of the seed crops a little
ahead of their regular time, it has also
tended to shorten the crops a little. The
Zinnias have been in full bloom during
this period and while the extreme heat
has affected some of the more delicate
colors and taken a little from the fresh-
ness of the crop, no apparent damage has
been done and the crops will be harvested
in good season with a good yield of seed.

The Asters are in full bloom at this
date, five to eight days earlier than in
past seasons. Our large acreage of As-
ters and Zinnias has made a spectacular
display for the many visitors who have
commented favorably upon the great
area we have devoted to flowers such as
are popular for florists' use today. This
includes two acres of Zinnia Pumila and
Salmon Rose and forty acres of American
Beauty Asters and Dahlia Flowered Zin-
nias, in all shades of color. The two
acres of Didiseus cceruleus, the Blue Lace
Flower, which is such a favorite among
the florists at this time, was a very pleas-
ing sight to them, as it was in full bloom
and standing waist high. Another great
attraction this season to visitors was the
bewildering collection of European varie-
ties of Asters and other flowers, secured
by John Bodger, Sr., during his visit to
Europe last Summer. These embrace all
the European bedding Asters, such as the
Mignon Victorias, Unicum, Dwarf Chrys-
anthemum, Pyramidals, Crowns, etc. To-
gether with our regular American va-
rieties these Asters have made a very
pleasing showing. We believe our collec-
tion of flowers this year is the largest
ever grown for seed in one locality in
the LTnited States, if not in the world.

Among our most recent trade visitors
were: C. S. Michael of Michael's Seed
Store, Sioux City, la.; Mr. and Mrs. J.
D. Eisele of Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Phil-
adelphia, Pa.; Mr. and Mrs. Adolf Corneli
of St. Louis; Mr. and Mrs. Carl Cropp
of Vaughan's Seed Store, Chicago, 111.;
Geo. Clark of Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Phil-
adelphia: J. C. Cherry of H. W. Buck-
bee, Rockford, 111., and Mr. and Mrs. A.
F. Beckert and family of Beckert's Seed
Store, Pittsburgh, Pa.

Earlier in the season we had the pleas-
ure of entertaining Geo. C. Thompson and
Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Massie of Northrup,
King & Co., Minneapolis, Minn.; Mr. and
Mrs. D. B. Gurney of the Gurney Seed
& Nurserv Co., Yankton, So. Dakota, and
Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Bradley of Templin,
Crockett & Bradley Co., Cleveland, O.
Other visitors expected are: C. D. Cov-
entry of the W. W. Barnard Co., Chi-
cago; W. H. Dildine of James Vick's
Sons, Rochester, N. Y.; Adrian Schoorl
of San Francisco, Cal.; C. R. Gloeckner of
Henry F. Michell Co., Philadelphia, and
J. C. Robinson of Waterloo, Neb.

Seedsmen's Non-Warranty Clause

In the June Issue of The Flower
Grower, H. M. Marshall ventured to froth
regarding the non-warranty class in cata-
logs. He was later taken to task by B. C.
Auten, a Gladiolus grower, and H. G.
Hastings of the H. G. Hastings Co., At-
lanta, Ga. We give in part Mr. Hastings'
remarks. His commentary upon the damage
suit lawyers is doubtless based upon ex-
perience, and he does the trade good serv-
ice by taking up this subject in a journal
largely read by private growers.

"The seedsman's non-warranty is used
because it is a necessity to protect the
seedsman from framed up damage suit
cases. Personally I have never known of
a ease where any of the reputable seeds-
men of this country have been unwilling
to make a satisfactory adjustment when it
was evident that the seed house was at
fault.

"No general seedsman, and by this we
mean firms cataloging fairly full lines of
vegetable and flower seeds, is or can be the
producer of more than a relatively small
percentage of the items carried in stock.
A general seedsman's stock necessarily
comes from expert producers in all parts
of the world.

"With production from such wide
spread area he cannot have personal

knowledge except through plantings in
his own trial grounds. Many of the items
cannot be held in stock for a year before
being sent out, to enable cheeking against
trial ground results. This is due to rapid
loss of vitality with many varieties.

"This whole non-warranty revolves
around the question of becoming legally
responsible for the success of a crop that
the seedsman has no control over and
usually does not and cannot have any
personal knowledge of. In our own case
our average distribution is somewhat be-
tween 100 and 500 miles away from our
seed warehouses.

"How can we keep any check up on how
the seed buying customers hundreds of
miles away prepare their ground, plant,
fertilize and cultivate their crops? We
can have little knowledge of local and
■season conditions at far distant places, yet
all of these have a decided bearing on the
crop.

"When partial or total failure of crop
comes the seedsman is the first object in
sight to saddle the blame on. The ten-
dency is to claim that something was
wrong with the seed and the seedsmen's
records have little weight with a local
jury when home folks' interests are at
stake."

This country is full of damage suit
lawyers who will take cases of this kind
on a contingent fee basis; that is, splitting
the amount recovered, if any, between
lawyer and plaintiff. Even if the seeds-
man wins the case, defending such suits
costs from $1000 to $3000 each, while the
purchase price of the seed may run from
$10 to $25.

"Under such conditions, and they are
actual, the seedsman cannot allow himself
to be placed in the crop insurance busi-
ness, and that is exactly where the seeds-
man would be placed if he should warrant
or guarantee the seed he sells.

"This warranty or rather non-warranty
question has been widely discussed among
seedsmen. Few if any of us have escaped
framed up damage suits. Where there
was an absence of non-warranty, local
juries have assessed damages in favor of
plaintiff in many cases with little regard
to the evidence.

"These damage suits are most numerous
when season or market has gone wrong.
The unscrupulous market gardener seeks
to recoup his season's losses from seeds-
man. On a contingent fee basis he is at
little or no expense. He considers it a good
gamble.

"We are aware that the standard seeds-
man's non-warranty, without explanation,
looks raw. We use it, but with explana-
tory sentences as follows:

"H. G. HASTINGS CO. gives no warranty,
either express or implied, as to description,
quality, productiveness, or any other matter,
of seeds, bulbs or plants they send out, and
will not be in any way responsible for the
crop. If purchaser does not accept the goods
on these terms, they are at once to be re-
turned, and any money that may have been
paid for them will be refunded. Crops are
dependent for success or failure on so many
things besides seed' that it is impossible for us
to give any warranty or guarantee. This does
not mean that we lack confidence in the seeds
we sell, but we have no control over the seeds
after they leave our house, especially as to
the methods of planting, cultivating and fer-
tilizing, all of which are important factors in
the success of any crop. If we should warrant
or guarantee seeds in any way, we could be
held responsible for the failure of the crop,
regardless of cause, and this is a responsibility
we cannot and will not accept. NO RESPON-
SIBLE SEEDSMAN GIVES ANY WAR-
RANTY."

"If there are to be general seedsmen
handling a full line of seeds, the non-
warrant is essential. It is not because
the seedsman has any desire to shirk
either legal or moral responsibility. The
seed business is,- however, conducted on
such a narrow margin of net profit that
it cannot afford the luxury of litigation
that would unjustly harass every respon-
sible seedsman in the absence of the non-
warranty."

Nebraska Seed Prospects

The J. C. Robinson Seed Company re-
ports the condition of Nebraska seed Corn
crop continues very favorable. The crop
is a little late, but is expected to fully
mature. Cucumber and Muskmelon not as
good as three weeks ago owing to a tem-
porary shortage of irrigating water. In-
spection shows Cucumber affected more
than Muskmelon. Hail in August has
cut down the acreage materially. There
will be some shortages developed more
particularly in Cucumber. The condition
of Watermelons for seed continues ex-
cellent; at least a normal yield is ex-
pected. Some aphis have appeared and
may do some damage.

Summer Squash is as nice a crop in !
eastern Nebraska as we have ever seen,
but Winter Squash in central Nebraska is
nearly a failure. With the exception of
one small district the crops will not re-
turn the seed planted. A failure of
Pumpkin in central Nebraska, owing to
insects, drought and hail. Eastern Ne-
braska Pumpkins are from poor to good.
The Winter Squash and Pumpkin in cen-
tral Nebraska are about the poorest we
have ever had. Our Minnesota crops of
Beans are about a failure in every ease
owing to drought. Colorado crops are
from fair to good.

Centenary of a Great French House

From Revue Horticole we learn that
Vilmorin Andrieux & Co. of Paris cele-
brated, on July 27, the nurseries' centen-
ary, the event taking place at the famous
nurseries at Yerrieres-le-Buisson. The
event was also to celebrate the nomination
of the proprietor, Mme. Phillipe de Vil-
morin as a member of the Legion of
Honor.

A special train_ carried the Paris staff
and guests to Verrieres. Nearly 1000
persons were concerned in the celebration. '
Mme. Phillipe presided at the dinner,
which was the most important part of the
function, and she took the opportunity to
express her thanks for the gold plaque,
bearing the portrait of M. Phillipe, who
died in 1917. His service to horticulture
was world wide, and the honor bestowed
upon his widow is an acknowledgment of
such. Vilmorin & Andrieux started their
seed business before 1700, and the firm is
doubtless the oldest of its kind extant.
It began nursery operations about 1S15,.
at Verrieres. These nurseries have a.)
chemical laboratory and various other
features not usually found on an estab-
lishment of this kind.

Consular Invoices for Cuba

The Post Office Dept. has been in-
formed by the Cuban Director General
of Posts that each package of merchan-
dise of whatever value sent in the mails
from the United States to Cuba must be
accompanied with an invoice in quintupli-
cate when addressed for delivery in Ha-
bana, and with an invoice in quadrupli-
cate when addressed for delivery in other
parts on the island, all copies of which
invoice, when the shippers are located at
a place where there is a Cuban consulate^
must first be presented at such consulate
for certification. The certification fees
to be charged are as follows: Invoices
for less than $5, 10c; invoices from $5
to $49.99, 50c; invoices from $50 to $200,.
$2. For every additional $100 or frac-
tion thereof, 25c The shipper need pay
for certification of only the original copy
of the invoice. When there is no Cuban
consulate at the place of origin, the in-
voices need not be viseed. Packages for
Cuba, accompanied with invoices as
above specified need not have customs
declarations attached.

Business Difficulties

D. K. Grace and G. T. Hayes, doing
business in Memphis, Tenn., as the Purity
Seed Co., have filed a petition in bank-
ruptcy, listing liabilities at $2831.93 and
assets at $369S.12. The latter are made
up of the stock in hand, store fixtures
and household goods of Mr. Grace. The
firm's largest liability is a bill payable
to the W. A. Garrabrant Co. of Kansas
City, $799, for printing. Most of the
debts are due seed firms in the East.

The Seabrooker

Published ever so often, at the Sea -
brook Farms, Bridgeton, N. J., this is a
unique magazine, perhaps the only one-
of its kind. It tells about the doings at
the farms and also contains many illus-
trations, including portraits of various
workers. It may be mentioned that the
Seabrook Farms has a new trade mark
for its fruit and other products. It is a
blue triangle with S. Co., a Seabrook
product printed thereon. When you see this
mark you know it comes from Bridgeton.

Fayetteville, Ark. — A. Adams & Sons,
veterans in the seed and florist business,,
will erect a new home for their business
on Block st., near the fire station. It
will be a one story brick. The firm re-
cently disposed of its old store building
at a satisfactory figure.

Fertilizer Plant Damaged by Fire

A recent news dispatch from Hacketts-
town, N. J., states that on Sept. 4 an
explosion occurring in the ammonia plant
of the Alphano Humus Co. resulted in a
serious fire. Three of the buildings of
the plant were wiped out, and the total
losses were estimated at $100,000. Twenty
carloads of celery and a large store of
provisions secured for the use of the em-
ployees were included in the materials
destroyed. Fortunately no one was in-
jured either by the explosion or the re-
sulting' fire.

Week at the Capital

By CLARENCE L. LINZ

Progress Continues Despite Checks

That the fundamental conditions un-
derlying the present business revival are
sound is shown by the persistence with
which commerce and industry have pro-
gressed in the face of recent serious ob-
stacles, says a review of business condi-
tions just issued by Secretary of Com-
merce Hoover. The extremely serious
labor difficulties through which we are
now passing, he states, "would, under many
conditions, have completely demoralized
business; instead, real progress continues
to be made, although there is reason to
suppose that the economic losses occa-
sioned by the coal and railroad strikes
will make themselves felt for some months
to come.

Figures now available at the Depart-
ment of Commerce on business movements
during July show that the rate of progress
has materially slackened. But the real
extent of industrial, progress back to
normalcy is seen when current figures are
compared with those for a year ago; in
almost every instance production is on
a much higher level than in 1921.

Mail Costs Inquiries

The first of a series of inquiries into
the cost of handling all classes of mail
was recently started at the Baltimore
Post Office, and similar investigations
will soon be started at all the larger
post offices of the country. The results
will be turned over to the joint congres-
sional commission on the postal service..

Freight Carriage Normal Again

A practically complete return to nor-
mal conditions in freight loadings is in-
dicated by reports just received by the
American Railway Association for the
week ended Aug. 26. Loadings of mer-
chandise and miscellaneous freight, in-
cluding manufactured products, totaled
559,303 cars, an increase of 4028 over the
previous week and of 59,641 over the cor-
responding week last year.

Imports More, Exports Less

A great increase in our import trade
and a decrease in our export trade as of
the month of July is shown by figures
just issued by the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce. Imports for July
1922 totaled $252,128,207, as compared
with $178,159,154 in 1921; while exports
totaled $296,651,030 as compared with
$318,710,369 last July.

Corn Borer Ban Extended

An amendment, effective Sept. 2, has
just been issued by the Federal Horticul-
tural Board in regard to Quarantine No.
43, extending the territory described as
infested by the European Corn borer. The
following towns have been added to the
quarantined district:

Massachusetts — Attleboro, Berkley, Dighton,
Fall River, Norton, Rehoboth, Seekonk, Som-
erset, Swansea, Acton, Holliston, Hudson,
Marlboro, Foxboro, Norfolk and Southboro;
Michigan — Bedford, Exeter and Ida; New
York (Eastern) — Goeymans, New Baltimore,
Canajoharie, Minden, St. johnsville, Cherry
Valley, Pittstown, Carlisle, Fulton and Cam-
bridge; (Western), Freedom, Machias, New
Albion, Yorkshire, Clymer, Ellington, French
Creek, Wales. Alabama, Batavia, Pembroke,
Cambria, Lewiston, Lockport, Newfane, Pen-
dleton, Porter, Wilson, Attica, Bennington,
Middlebury, Orangeville, Perry, Sheldon and
Warsaw; Ohio — Austinburg, Harpersfield, Plym-
outh, Sheffield, Independence, Newburg,
Warrensville, Margaretta, Perkins, Chardon,
Amherst, Allen, Townsend, Lake and Ross;
Pennsylvania — Conneaut, Elk Creek, Frank-
lin, Washington and Wayne.

New Orleans, La.

The Market

Retail business continues inactive
with florists generally. Although daily
showers have tended to cool the weather,
social functions have not yet gotten un-
der way, nor have people begun to return
to the city in noticeable numbers.

Chrysanthemums are being received
regularly from California and, as a rule,
they are in fine condition, considering the
long distance they travel and the hot
weather encountered.

Carnations and Roses received from
Chicago are arriving in bad condition,
according to a number of retailers; the

home grown flowers saved the situation
for the florists during the week. The sea-
son's supply of Tuberoses is just about
exhausted, but the Radiance Roses are
still going strong.

Eble Busy in Gardens •

Charles Eble is being kept exceed-
ingly busy these days in dividing his time
between his gardens on Upperline st. and
his big retail shop downtown. He re-
ports having received large shipments from
California and Chicago during the last
part of the week.

Out at the gardens lie has produced a
nice lot of Cocos plumosus palms which
are now being offered to the public
through his store on Baronne st. These
are of an extra healthy quality and were
raised from seed. He also has ready
for market a supply of Phoenix Roebelenii
similarly raised.

Hyacinths Kill Fish

Tons of fish have been killed in
Lake Bijeau, near here, because of a heavy
growth of water Hyacinths in the lake.
As a result of investigations an effort is
being made to induce the government to
remove the growth; There is nothing about
the plant to actually poison the fish, but
the Hyacinths give off an oil in such
quantities that it forms over the surface
of the water, cutting off the oxygen sup-
ply from the fish.

H. Papworth Active

Harry Papworth, owner of the
Metairie Ridge Nursery, who was re-
cently appointed a member of the city
parking commission, evidently believes
that his name was included on the com-
mission list for other purposes than dec-
orating the letterhead of the organiza-
tion. He has launched an active drive
against those who are willfully mutilat-
ing or destroying the city's trees and
shrubbery. There is a city ordinance
which provides that a person found guilty
of damaging any public decorative growth
may be prosecuted, and it is Mr. Pap-
worth's proposal that this ordinance be
rigidly enforced. "Real estate dealers
and others who seek to advertise their
business by means of tacking signs on
trees within the city limits will find it
a very expensive form of advertising,"
Mr. Papworth declares. "We are going
to have their signs torn down and then
bring them before a recorder for punish-
ment."

New Orleans is just now waking up to
the value of trees and shrubbery as ne-
cessities to the beauty and comfort of a
city. For a long time, like other towns
and cities of the South, it allowed its
growth of trees to be destroyed, not real-
izing their value until it was discovered
that the growth of shrubbery and trees
was about to disappear. An abundance
of native shade and ornamental trees is
not sufficiently appreciated until this
growth is about to disappear. That is
what is waking New Orleans up to the
value of its preservation. R. McD.

Columbus, Ga.

Happy Times

This has been an erratic season.
We have had weeks of rain, followed by
a drought which nearly burned everything
in the ground, only to be revived again
by a series of storms deluging everything;
then again a scorching hot spell, until you
have serious doubts of saving enough
stock to propagate from wdien Fall begins,
and yet the papers are extolling this won-
derful climate.

Any man who follows the florist business
as a grower south of Mason and Dixon
line earns every cent he gets and more.
Every known insect that plants and trees
are heir to are here. When one has to
work with as few clothes as he can and be
decent, smoke a pipe incessantly to keep
the gnats, flies and mosquitoes out of his
ears, eyes and nose, you can imagine how
extremely pleasant he feels.

Business, except for an occasional fu-
neral order, is very quiet. So many ama-
teur flower growers are in the market
with Summer flowers that it hardly pays
to fool with them. Early in the season
the city was literally swamped with Sweet
Peas, selling as low as 25c. per 100. The
recent and present hot, dry spell may
affect the sales of Chrysanthemums.

Wheat & Shelmut's, successors to John
Keheley, stock looks fine, but they are
having the time of their lives with nema-
todes in their Carnations. I understand
they do not sterilize their soil.

W. E. Joy, who has a store in the city,
reports business good. He has most every-

thing shipped in, and being a good mixe I
and advertiser has made great progress
Rose Hill Greenhouses, which had beei '
allowed to go to seed, so to speak, an
rapidly forging ahead; all new benches
and place put in repair. They have som(
fine Chrysanthemums and a house oi 1
young Roses which are fine. Their Carna
tions are coming in slowly, owing to ina- f
bility to procure good stock. One largt
shipment, Dought from a southern florist.
of Mrs. Ward, has proved to be Alice, a
variety discarded in this market. Thus
far the shipper has neglected to reply to
the demand as to what he was going to
do about it. This case may be taken into
the courts for final settlement. W. C.
Cook, the veteran florist, who for the past
four years has been an instructor in the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn
in Floriculture and Landscape gardening,
is in charge here. They will grow a gen- f
eral line of cut flowers and pot plants,
and contemplate adding a nursery later.

Louisville, Ky.

Trade Improving

Business with the Louisville florists
is improving as a result of extremely hot
weather burning up outdoor stock. There
has been a fair run of funeral business
and the number of Fall weddings is in-
creasing. The races didn't bring much
business to the retailers, as the Fall rac-
ing period is not a big affair like the
Derby day opening in the Spring.

The Kentucky iState Fair opens on
Monday, Sept. 11, and it is reported that
a number of local florists will exhibit,
but so far, they are keeping very quiet,
and it is impossible to find out just who
will show. William L. Korb, who has ex-
hibited and carried off ribbons for several
years, is judging exhibits this year, there-
fore is not showing flowers, but is show-
ing pigeons and dogs.

R. Pontrich of Pontrich Bros., local
florists, playing with the Epps-Cola Base-
ball Club, in the elimination series for
the city championship, after winning the
pennant in its own league, reported loss
of $22 by theft from his clothes from the
dressing room at the Eclipse Park ball
yard on Sept. 3, while he was on the dia-
mond.

Raphael N. (Ray) Pontrich, son of
Simon Pontrich, florist in West Louis-
ville, was married on Labor Day to Miss
Agnes Glenn, 3826 Southern Parkway,
Louisville, leaving immediately for Cin-
cinnati. Mr. Pontrich is 22 years of age
and his wife is 21. Mr. Pontrich is a
clerk in the office of the Board of Pub-
lic Works.

Herbert G. Walker, formerly owner of
the F. Walker Co., florists, now operating
a large nursery on Preston st., also a
flower farm, is one of the charter par-
ties of the Kayner Auto Safe Lock, a
$25,000 company, which will manufacture
a thief proof automobile lock.

The Coal Question

The Kentucky Society of Florists
held a good meeting on Sept 6, at the
home of H. Kleinstarink, on the Browns-
boro road, general matters being discussed.
The organization discussed the "Please
Omit Flowers," movement, but decided to
drop the argument, feeling that the less
said to the public, the better it will be.
as too much talk would merely adver-
tise this evil. There was also a discus-
sion concerning fuel. However, a num-
ber of florists have coal on hand that will
run them past the first of the year, they
having either carried over a good deal
of coal from last year, or purchased early
this Spring before advances. It was
held that oil furnaces would not be a good
idea here, as Louisville is surrounded on
all sides by coal fields, and should have
no material trouble in securing short
haul supplies, even though prices be stiff.
Gas is impossible as the city is unable
to secure enough gas now for taking care
of demand in severe weather, and under
such conditions, all business use of gas
practically has to be abandoned. Flo-
rists believe that coal prices may be
rather stiff for the next few weeks, but
if the railroads are able to move ton-
nage, the mines will produce plenty and
by December, things should be in fair
shape. The strike this Summer prob-
ably won't mean so much, as there gener-
ally isn't much stocking done until Fall
anyway. Right now the market is much
weaker, and good coal is offered as low
as $3.75 a ton at the mines.

Louisville, Ky. — Continued from 720

Mike Pontrich of Richmond, Ky., oper-
ating a floral establishment there, was re-
cently in Louisville, where he spent a week
with his father and brothers. He reported
very fair business in this section of the
State. Pontrich Brothers reported good
business the past two weeks.

William L. Korb reports very good
business in the West End, things having
been considerably more active during the
past two or three weeks.

Ed. L. Thompson, connected with the
house of C. B. Thompson & Co., in an
effort to aid the capture of a negro, who
had run amuck and knocked down a street
car motorman and a policeman, fired two
or three shots into the air to scare the
negro into stopping. Thompson was ar-
rested for shooting a pistol off in the city.
Mr. Thompson was in the store when he
heard the commotion in the alley. He
took a gun from the store and went out
to aid in the capture. We've plenty of
green policemen in Louisville.

The Liberty Insurance Bank awarded
a number of prizes a few days ago at its
September flower show, and also for the
best gardens. Five of the six school gar-
den prizes went to the Emerson School
and one prize went to the Foster school.
A total of 147 exhibits were entered.

M. D. Reimers & Son Co., on Baxter
ave., offered a closing out sale of a line
of jardinieres recently, quoting them at
half price and offering delivery on any
quantity. • , _

The Louisville Board of Park Commis-
sioners met during the week, but took
no action toward naming a new Park
Superintendent, or re-electing J. H. Steep-
ler, who has continued in charge, al-
though his. term recently expired. Action
in this matter will probably result at a
meeting Sept. 19. There has been some
friction between the board and Mr.
Steepler. The board decided to borrow
$80,000 to meet current expenses pending
receipt of its tax allotment.

Effective at once, the local parking law
for autos in the business district has been
advanced from fifteen to forty-five min-
utes, on complaint of merchants that it
interfered with business.

The eighth annual meeting of the Hen-
derson County Fruit Growers Association
was held Monday and Tuesday, Sept; 4
and 5, at Henderson, Ky., in connection
with the meeting of the Kentucky Horti-
cultural Society. Many orchards were
visited and addresses heard from lead-
ing growers. W. H. Stites, Henderson,
made the address of welcome on Monday.
Other speakers were Frank T. Street,
Jr., H. R. Niswonger, W. W. Magill,
John Napier Dver, Vincennes, Ind.;
Leigh Harris, Ben E. Niles, Laurenz
Greene and O. B. Jennings.

Trade Notes

Business toward the end of last
week fell off materially; in fact, several
days were the dullest this Summer. One
large concern reported having had only
one funeral piece on its books one day.
Stock is quite plentiful; the hot weather
brought out large quantities of flowers of
all kinds. Dahlias are coming in quan-
tities, larger than needed to fill the local
demand. The wholesalers are selling them
for anything they can get, and one lot of
several hundred sold at the rate of lc.
each.

Carnations have started to come into
the local market, but meet with no de-
mand because Dahlias are in such pro-
fusion and so cheap. These latter killed
the sale on all good lines because they
make such a big showing for so little
money.

Good Roses are coming in, but mostly
with short stems. Russells have gone
down in quality. The long stemmed stock
sells quite readily at as high as $15 per
100. These are from the North. There
is a big demand for Lily of the Valley,
because there were many weddings the
first part of the month. The retailers
waited until the last minute to place their
orders, and inasmuch as the local whole-
sale houses do not carry A^alley on account
of there being so much waste, the orders
were largely unfilled. Stephanotis seems
to be scarce, and therefore can not be
counted on for much as a substitute for
Valley. Swainsopa has been taking the
place of Valley to quite an extent, but
t it also is to be had only in limited quan-
itity. One day last week half a dozen
^weddings were booked, each calling , for.

There is no more important subject to the commercial grower
than that of ROSES

THERE WILL BE FOUND NO BETTER GUIDE TO THEIR
SUCCESSFUL CULTIVATION THAN IS CONTAINED IN

Commercial Rose Culture

By EBER HOLMES

Which embraces the author's experience extending over many
years in the growing of Roses under glass and outdoors.

The book does not delve into the ancient history of the
Rose or indulge in long descriptions and classifications of
varieties, but points out to the beginner, the small grower, or
the florist with a retail trade, who grows a few Roses with
his general stock, the best way to be successful in growing
good Roses.

Valley or Swainsona, and only 18 bunches
of the latter were available. These were
divided among the different stores.

Gladioli have gone down in quality as
well as in quantity, but they are not sell-
ing very well, so the market is not par-
ticularly affected. Orchids are very
scarce, and quite a few calls are received
by the wholesalers who are unable to fill
the orders. There are no quotations on
Cattleyas.

Otto Bauer, manager of the S. S. Pen-
nock Co.^s ,stor,e, will hereafter carry- a

broom when he goes in swimming. Mr.
Bauer, who is the proud owner of a Sum-
mer home at Mayo, Md., was spending his
vacation there, and while swimming had
the misfortune to step on a broken
whiskey bottle, cutting his foot so severely
as to necessitate the use of crutches -for
some time.

Dr. Frederick V. Coville, of the Bureau
of Plant Industry, Department of Agricul-
ture, recently left Washington for a trip
to Bar Harbor, Me., where he will spend
his time in giving advice and suggestions

to the superintendent of the Lafayette
National Park regarding the future bo-
tanical development of the park. He will
also visit other points in New England
and New Jersey, in order to observe the
progress of Blueberry experiments.

Granville Gude, Oarsman

Granville Gude has been ac-
claimed the best sculler in the South,
and so has won the first point in his
ambition to become the champion oars-
man of the world. Some ambition, but
there is no one to say that his chances
of fulfillment of this desire are not the
very best. He is the son of William P.
Gude and, six weeks ago, was unknown
as an oarsman ; today, the whole sport-
ing world is talking of his wonderful
performances, and there is a whispering
of his possible selection two years lience
as a member of the team that will repre-
sent the United States in the Olympic
events abroad. This has given rise to a
casual remark on the part, of Gude, Sr.,
that both of them have been sticking
pretty close to business, and a European
trip a couple of years from now would
not be so bad.

Granville made quite a name for him-
self in local high school circles when as
a student at Tech High he won honors
in basketball, football and baseball. It
did not make much difference to him
what the game was, as long as it was
good, clean sport. Two years ago he
became a member of the Potomac Boat
Club eight and has participated in many
hard battles, which gave him the idea he
wanted to be a sculler of note. Two
months ago he went to Pat Demsey, Po-
tomac's coach, and under 'his tuition, he
developed rapidly.

For the big events on Labor Day the
Potomac Club prepared to participate in
t'he Middle States Regatta on the Pa-
tapsco River, Baltimore. Young Gude
was entered in the junior singles and he
won so handsomely that in less than two
hours he was sent into the intermediate
event, emerging for the second time a
champion. His pals cheered him and
then wished him in for the association
event, and again did he win.

The Potomac Board Club is proud of
this youngster ; he is only nineteen years
old, and has the advantage over many
other contenders in point of age. He
weighs 162 pounds, but is not yet fully
developed. If he keeps in trim there is
no telling to what heights he will soar.
The way is open to him to win the na-
tional championship of the United States
and then there are the European events
to conquer. C. L. L.

Washington, D. C. — Very few changes
in tariff rates affecting the florist indus-
try were made by the conference commit-
tee in its report of Sept. 12 on the con-
sideration of the tariff bill. In two or
three instances the committee thought it
advisable to provide a compromise rate
in lieu of the rates fixed by the House
and the Senate, but in most instances the
bill as reported is that passed by the Sen-
ate last month.

As forecast some. time ago, the confer-
ence committee threw out the House plan
for American valuation and provided that
all ad valorem duties in the new meas-
ure should be based, as at present, on the
foreign value. In accordance with this
policv the Senate provisions for flexible
tariff were agreed to. These authorize the
president to make changes in duties, to
an extent not to exceed 50 per cent of
the rates fixed in the bill, to meet differ-
ences in the cost of production here and
abroad, to cope with dumping and other
unfair methods of importation or sale
of imported commodities, and in retalia-
tion for export restrictions imposed by
foreign governments upon commodities
destined for the United States.

As affecting horticultural interests the
bulb rates provided by the Senate in Par.
751 were agreed to by the committee.
Tulip, Lily and Narcissus bulbs, and Lily
of the Valley pips carry a duty of $2 per
thousand. Hyacinth bulbs are dutiable at
$4 per thousand, and Crocus bulbs at $1
per thousand. All other bulbs and roots,
root stocks, corms, tubers and herbace-
ous perennials, imported for horticultural
purposes, are to be dutiable at 30 per cent
ad valorem; fresh or preserved cut flow-
ers carry a rate of 40 per cent at valorem.

The Senate rate of 30 per cent ad va-
lorem on cuttings, seedlings, and grafted
or budded plants of deciduous or ever-

The committee agreed to the House rate
of $2 per thousand on seedlings, layers
and cuttings of Apple, Cherry, Pium,
Quince and other fruit stock.

Two changes were made by the com-
mittee in considering the seed rates in
Pars. 760, 761 and 762. The House rate
of one-half cent per pound on Castor
Beans was agreed to by the committee in
Par. 760, as well as the rates of 32c. per
hundred pounds on Poppy seed, 2c. per
pound on Sunflower seed, and 3c. per
pound on Apricot and Peach kernels. The
Senate rate of 40c. per bushel of 56 pounds

Bangor, Me.

The first real "advanced notice" of ap-
proaching Fall came in the form of a
frost in the northern part of the State.
Ihe low lands in that section were hit
with the frost but, on the whole, little
damage was done. We look for our first
killing frost about Oct. 5.

A. B. Folker, Carmel, is cutting some
choice Gladioli for the market.

A. E. Stantial, East Belfast, Me
writes that he is to erect a King semi-
iron framed house this Fall for the grow-
ing of greenhouse plants, etc. The size
will be 21ft.x25ft. As his business grows
he will increase the size of this house. He
is installing a heating system large enough
to take care of future expansion. A wise
thing to do.

During the week of Sept. 11 G. S
Seavey & Son will have on display at
c-n . dinner Optical Co., an assortment
ot Uahhas. They have attracted much
attention at their greenhouses and the
special display will undoubtedly be seen
by hundreds of people, the location of
the Optical Co. being on Main st.

Speaking of Dahlias, the writer motored
15 miles into the country to see Hopkins
Dahlia Farm. Mr. Hopkins started in
a small way eight years ago and has now
increased his plantings to an acre He
does a fine mail older business and sells
his output yearly. He offers a fine list
of varieties, and annually entertains hun-
dreds of people who go to his place to
see his Dahlias. His success is remark-
able considering his location and dis-
tance from largely settled communities,
Maine being thinly settled in the way of
>wns and cities. H. E. S.

size flower, much freer bloomer than Ward and almost the same color; good keeper and shipper.

SEEDS

We have succeeded in producing
a most wonderful strain of Gold
Medal Hybr., with stems 5-7 feet
tall, with spikes of more than 3 feet.
They have been admired by thou-
sands. They range in color: sky-
blue, blue with white, deep purple,
some almost velvet, mauve and
celestial-blue, a large percentage
come double and are as perfect as
those named varieties, which were
improved years ago. We are now
able to offer some seeds, guar-
anteed fresh. If sown now, set
out in early Spring, will produce
flowers for Decoration Day.
$1.00 per package.

If interested in other perennial seeds,
such as GYPSOPHILA, MALVA mos-
chata, LUPINUS, PYRETHRUM, etc.,
self collected, write for prices.

Our complete list for Field Grown
ROSE BUSHES is now ready. We will

Carnation Stem Rot

Hot sultry weather makes for stem rot
in the newly housed Carnations, not to
say that you can't get a dose in dry, clear
weather. Just what is best to do to
overcome it is a hard question tj answer.
That much is sure, however, it won't do
the plants any good to have the least
sign of stem rot in the ben .-lies. The
minute you notice a plant looking
wilted, remove it at once and a little of
the soil surrounding it. Replace with
new soil and another plant; that is the
reason for having a good number of
plants potted up in 5s ready to be used
in case of trouble. Such stock is better
than lifting plants from the field for they
don't require so long to become re-estab-
lished. Don't water or spray the plants
carelessly; avoid an excess of moisture at
this time. Any fungus will spread more
freely in a moist atmosphere than in a
dry one. With colder nights and clear
weather this trouble usually comes to an
end.

Carnations

In and Outdoors

Flowers on fair sized stems may not
pay right now and yet they may come in
very handy if you can retail them your-
self. Gluts of outdoor flowers will soon
be over and plants which produce good
stems and fair flowers may just as well
be allowed to come along on well estab-
lished plants. They must have proper
supports; they should always have it long
before they need it. Disbudding is also in
order. If you have a surplus of field
plants, somebody may want them; in the
meantime, keep them pinched back; they
should not be allowed to flower. Maybe
you will want to plant another bench of
Carnations later on when the early Chrys-
anthemums leave the houses; in that case
rather than let such plants remain in the
field, lift them carefully and pot up into
os. If you happen to have half pots or
deep 5in. bulb pans, so much the better;
it is easier to bench the plants out of
such later on. Place them in a frame
for the present and keep watered; they
can remain there until you want to bench,
even if that shouldn't happen before the
middle of November.

Cleveland Cherries

Get Some in Now

You will want a lot of Cleveland Cher-
ries during the next three months; in
fact, plants can be sold all Winter, but
of course Christmas is the real Cherry
time, so long as you don't make the mis-
take, to display your plants alongside of
a Pdinsettia or a red Cyclamen which will
give the Cherries a poor chance to look
attractive. You can not only use these
Solanums as pot plants, but the branches
set with fruit are fine for centerpieces.
Remove their leaves for that purpose and
substitute short Boxwood. Such center-
pieces are easily disposed of around
Christmas and the use of a moss pad is
better than a low dish. Start to lift your
field plants now; be as careful as you
can. They live even when handled
rough, but appreciate having a little
soil clinging to their roots when you pot
them. A cool, airy house will suit them
after potting and shade for a few days,
but a frame is as good so long as you
don't let them suffer for the want of
water. They need some every day if you
provide the proper drainage in the bottom
of the pots.

The Propagating Bench

Time to Get It Into Shape

A propagating bench wants to be well
built; it should hold from 3in. to 4in. of
sand; should have hot water pipes below
to provide bottom heat whenever re-
quired, with an arrangement above to
afford shade. If located on the side of
a house it should not be over 3ft. in
width and kept free from gutter drip and,

as important as anything, everything
above and below should be kept clean.
You can't have pot plants on top of the
propagating sand all Summer and use
such sand for the cuttings in Fall. The
more often the sand is changed, the better
and if the bench was empty all Summer
and had a chance to thoroughly dry out,
so much the better. A good dose of hot
whitewash now and you will be ready to
fill it up with fresh sand. Just a few
more days and the average florist grow-
ing on a lot of bedding stock will be
getting busy with propagating and his
bench will be kept busy more or less, all
Winter. With the smaller grower, it
pays to provide his propagating bench
with boards and openings on the sides to
make it possible to use the space below
as a forcing frame for his early Dutch
bulb stock. This can be done nicely and
in no way interfere with bench itself.

Stevias

As Useful as Ever for Cutting

Stevias can stand almost any tempera-
ture as long as it is above 32 deg. You
can flower plants in a 40 deg. house or one
of 70, and they will stand for it as long
as they get enough sunlight and water,
but give them just a touch of frost and
they will hang their heads. With the
help of a coldhouse or good deep frames
which are frostproof, you can manage to
have plants coming into flower from No-
vember on up to February, and what can
you think of better than a few well flow-
ered sprays of Stevia with a box of Roses,
Carnations, 'Mums, etc. If you wish,
the plants in the field now can be lifted, a
part of them planted on- a bench and the
balance potted up into 6s or 7s or they
may be planted into narrow boxes, such
as are easily moved about if found neces-
sary. Place them in a frame and leave
them until wanted later on. Just as long
as you don't subject them to frost they
will be always ready when you want them.

Side Lines

For the Retail Grower

There are thousands of florists located
throughout the country who can make the
retailing of small trees, shrubs, conifers
and particularly, biennials and perennials,
a profitable side line. October is usually
the beginning of the planting season and
it continues up to the time the ground
freezes solid. The retail grower of the
suburban or country town will find things
frequently dull if he confines his activi-
ties strictly to his greenhouses, cut flowers
and pot plants. There is no good reason
for that. In every section of the coun-
try and frequently right in the imme-
diate neighborhood of the local florist are
plenty chances to sell stock for the im-
provement of home grounds. What is
more, the owner is perfectly willing to
purchase if his or her attention is called
to it. The modern supply or seed house
doesn't wait until the florist sends in his
order; they go after it and this holds
good with the progressive florist. Don't
wait for the Pompons to come into bloom
before you think about your Fall open-
ing. Get after the outside business now;
there is money in it. A great field is
awaiting you.

Handling Shrubs and Perennials

Every little home ground in the coun-
try needs trees, shrubs and hardy flow-
ering plants in order to make the ground
attractive. The local florist may grow
little or none of such stock himself, but
he can easily obtain what is wanted from
the nurserymen and make a paying side-
line of it. Shrubs, such as Barberry,
Lilac, Hydrangea, Spiraea, Honeysuckle,
Weigela, Forsythia, Philadelphus and
others, from 2ft. to 3ft. in height, if not
sold this Fall or next Spring, and planted
on the florist's own grounds, will keep
on growing into money; that holds good
with Delphiniums, Peonies, Iris, Phlox
and other perennials. The handling of

such stock will also lead to other busi-
ness; it opens up new channels to make
money, both interesting and profitable.
Every retail grower who gets into
handling hardy stock will find that if
he keeps at it, no matter how much of
such stock he may grow on himself, he
will become a better customer to the
nurseryman each successive year. He
not only earns more money, but finds or
creates new outlets for nursery stock of
every description. Grow on all the Ger-
aniums and Marguerites you like and keep
on building more greenhouses, but by all
means get into supplying your patrons
with the hardy stock they *need or should
have for their home grounds. Do a little
advertising right now for Fall planting
and don't overlook the bulbs; another
paying side line.

A Promising Gypsophila

A Promising Gypsophila

What appears to be an unusually strong
form of double Gypsophila paniculata has
appeared among a batch of seedlings
raised on the Bristol Nurseries, Inc., Bris-
tol, Conn.

Prompted by a recent note in The Ex-
change, Alex. Cumming, Jr., of the Bris-
tol Nurseries, sent a small portion of a
spray, together with a piece of the ordi-
nary double.

The extraordinary difference in the size
of flower and the strength of stems
prompts the thought that not a little of
the Gypsophila sold as paniculata is, as
is stated by Bailey, the species acutifolia,
which has green stems and small foliage.

As is the case with all plants raised
from seed, Gypsophila paniculata is apt to
vary in vigor and habit as well as in
other directions. The plant Mr. Cum-
mings is nursing is much heavier in growth
than the average, the stems being stiff
and wiry, while the flowers are larger.

At the time the accompanying picture
was taken, mid-August, the regular stock
of Gypsophila was past, this particular
plant coming into bloom considerably
later than any on the grounds. The plant
at the time was 3y2tt., wonderful growth
for a one season plant, although that is
about the height we expect to see in good,
If plants cannot make such growth some-
well established Gypsophila paniculata.

Successful Flower Show

Sept. 9. — The Newport Horticul-
tural Society's Fall Show was held at
the Sunday School rooms of the First
Presbyterian Church on the 6th and 7th
instant. The rooms are we'll adapted for
the purpose, being easy of access.

The large groups of plants and big
specimen palms were entirely absent. There
"were cut blooms in abundance, Dahlias
predominating, with a great showing of
new varieties in the dealers or commer-
cial growers class. The first prize, silver
medal, in this class, for display cut
blooms on table 10ft.x3ft. was won by
Edwin Manuel & Son. The second, a
bronze medal, was taken by Halcey Rich-
ards of Tiverton. In his collection were
many of the Californian novelties — big
ones at that. His largest flower, however,
the largest flower in the show, was his
Autumn tinted decorative Judge Marean.
Fred P. Webber was third and was re-
warded with a gratuity of $10 and a cul-
tural certificate. It is safe to say that
for quality these three tables were never
excelled here.

A table not entered in, above class was
Staged by A. J. Fish, New Bedford, and
also contained many sterling novelties.
He showed Stillman's Millionaire in fine
shape; it is a good Dahlia, large, and a
beautiful pink. Natalie Fish, a glowing
Crimson Decorative, a seedling of his
own, was awarded a first class certificate.
For the collection, he obtained a gratuity
of $12.

Fred P. Webber's duplex seedling Star-
bright is a Dahlia of medium size, car-
mine pink in color, which shows up nice-
ly under artificial light; it has stout stems
to support the flowers. This was con-
sidered the best local raised novelty
shown. Awarded silver medal.

Frances A. Wilson, a salmon colored
seedling duplex raised by A. J. Hamans
and Mabel Remington, a giant Cactus,
maroon, tipped white, were each honored
with certificates.

Space forbids my naming of winning
varieties at this time, but I cannot for-
bear giving the nar_es of varieties of
merit in vases calling for 12 blooms of
each: 12 blooms Cactus, white, first, E.
S. Manuel & Son with Wellfrieden, 6in.
flowers of beautiful form. Decorative,
first, Fred P. Webber with Cambria, a
grand bold pink, 6in. flowers; second, Ed-
win S. Manuel and Son with Flieder Far-
ber, a dark rose..

It is worthy of note that the true Cac-
tus Dahlia of the most refined build are
not in demand except for table decora-
tions. The giant Cactus and Decoratives
appear to be the leaders, and flower
Autumn tints the most popular colors.

Kemperaar and Christianson staged one
of the grandest displays of Hybrid Tea
Rose blooms ever staged at this late date.
All from stock worked in their own es-
tablishment. Gratuity, $25.

Stewart Ritchie set up two tables of
plants in combination with baskets of
flowers. Gratuity, $30.

An effective grouping of Nymphie
blooms staged by Alexander Frazer.
Gratuity, $10.

Two groups of plants by John T. Al-
lan extra well grown. Gratuity, $30.

Andrew J. Dorward made a good dis-
play of herbaceous blooms; also took first
for display of Gladiolus Primulinus hy-
brids arranged with foliage and grasses.

Amateurs

At last the amateurs and the chil-
dren have become interested and they
were keen competitors in large num-
bers; the product of the school gardens in
some instances equalling the best from
any source.

Neil Ward, Lonsdale, took first with
a table of cut Dahlias; Harold M. Sher-
man took many firsts, as also did Caroline
Gibson. Wm. H. Arnold took first for
a collection of annual Asters, as fine a
lot as we have seen. Neil Ward was also
strong on Asters. William G. Taylor
also prizes offered by this writer, as
did W. H. Ackerman and H. I. Vayro.

Rain on the afternoon of the first day
somewhat affected the attendance. The
judges were John T. Allan, John B. Urqu-
hart and Alexander MacLellan.

Death of Well Known Gardener

William Allan, gardener to Dr. and
Mrs. Alexander Hamilton Rice, died at
the Newport Hospital on Saturday, Sept.
9, after five months' illness. He came of
a family of gardeners and had followed

the profession practically all his life. He
•was in his 66th year. Some 30 years ago
he originated the Catherine Duer Dahlia
from seed bought of the Farquhars of
Boston and, typical of the man, he free-
ly distributed the stock, as gifts among
his neighbors. Among the four carloads
of floral tributes at the funeral on Tues-
day, we noticed a handsome wreath of
that Dahlia — surely a fitting memorial. A
widow and a daughter, Agnes Allan, a
decorator at the Schultze Broadway store,
survive him.

Progress at Bellows Falls

On a recent visit to Bellows Falls, Vt., I
called upon Geo. Halladay, florist, and
found a very congenial business man. Not
alone was he entertaining, but was full
of business, having just completed a large
funeral order. He looks forward to 9
good AVinter business. His houses, of
which he has three, all look good, being
planted to Carnations, 'Mums, etc. Mr.
Halladay certainly is progressive, as he
informed me he had the stock at the
depot, for another new Lord & Burnham
house. The houses are situated on a
high hill just off the main road to Bel-
lows Falls. Along with the houses is a
small nursery as ryell as fancy poultry,
but his specialty is pot grown Strawber-
ries. Mr. Halliday started from small
beginnings, but each year finds his
business increasing so that now it ex-
tends to all parts of Vermont. He, how-
ever, has to rely on the Boston market
for most of his biggest flowers as he can-
not commence to raise enough for the de-
mand. Mr. Halliday spoke well of The
Exchange, even though he did not know
I was a representative. He said he looks
forward to its coming each week.

Next Annual Convention, Chlcaao. III.. June 1923

Standardizing Plant Descriptions

Reflections on What Has Been Done and What Might Be Done

Licensing the Nurseryman in Georgia

What Do You Think of the New Legislation Outlined Below?

TUB Preliminary Report of
the Committee on Standardi-
zation of Horticultural Trade
Practice of the American Asso-
ciation of Nurserymen as pre-
sented at the June meeting
(and published in The Ex-
change of Jiily 15, 22 and 29) Is
indeed worthy of careful perusal
and offers meaty suggestions on
the subject of standardisation.
The adoption of such suggestions
even In part should prove helpful
alike to the individual horticul-
turist and the trade bb a whole.
Nurserymen should be guided by
it in preparation of "copy" for
catalogs, and thus obtain the
benefit of the committee's recom-
mendations.

Trade terms, abbreviations and
uniform, '.grading standards are
now" generally understood and fol-
lowed -by the' uptodate nurseries,
though of course there is room
for improvement in these depart-
ments. Once standards are defi-
nitely . set forth in concrete form,
and" adopted generally, much good
will result, especially if the
smaller growers will subscribe to
their usage and follow in the
footsteps of the more progressive
concerns which already recognize,
appreciate and employ them.

In the subjects cited by the
committee for consideration in
its next- report the "color chart
or methods of standardizing
the descriptions of colors in
horticulture" appeals to us as
a long step forward in clearing up
the confusion resulting from dif-
ferences of opinion. To this rec-
ommendation we would add a fur-
ther suggestion as to standardiz-
ing a brief description, going be-
yond color alone. This would
then be uniform as to flower, leaf-
age, habit of growth and charac-
teristics or uses for which the

plants are noteworthy. Of course

heights of plants will vary under
different soil and weather conditions, as will time of
flowering in different latitudes; and for these due al-
lowances must be made. Likewise the more alert
nurseryman would be entitled to announce his favorite
purpose for which he considers a particular species or
variety useful. This would provide opportunity to show
originality and might be the means of selling more
plants thau ;i fellow nurseryman wiLh similar stocks,
but who was content to employ a meager description
with no special sales appeal Such efforts at individ-
uality should not be discouraged, but at the same
lime original thoughts cuultl readily be made to fol-
low the standardized description.

To check up the range of color variation in the
siime plaut we recently consulted three descriptive
catalogs of us many prominent mmjeryiuen. As the
color of Phlox Champa Elysees one gave "wine color;"
another "violet red" and the third "Intense purple
crimson." For Phlox Aurora. Borealis one gave "rich
orange crimson," white another gave ••brilliant deep
pink." Again, turning n> flirulm, Hibiscus Itniile de
Feu varieties from "red" tu ■■bright red" tun J even
•very deep violet piuk."

Perhaps these personal opinions as to color are

not siulieienlly diverse to convey Llie idea Lo the buyer

that the plants are not the same, yet they do give

the impression that at least I here exists a difference

( Continued on fiaye 732)

SHORTLY before its recent ad-
journment the Georgia State

The Javanese Sumach

UNDliR the name of Rhus Osbeckii the tree pictured here grew and flourished on thn
grounds of the Massachusetts Agricultural College for about 25 years. It then
succumbed to the severe freezing of an unusually hard Winter when the ther-
mometer dropped to 30 dog. below ou several occasions. Thus vve hove the limit of hardi-
ness pretty well established for this interesting species. Evidently it can stand 25 deg.
below when once acclimated, but that Is about as far as it will go.

The correct name is Rhus Javanlca, but it is rarely found in American collections
under any name. Yet it Is one. of the finest In its genus; and that is saying a good deal,
for the Sumachs are widely recognized as highly effective species for landscape planting.
Tills specie* grows as large as the Staghorn Sumach, perhaps a little larger, and looks
more like a tree, it is particularly noticeable when In flower, In August or September,
bearing many large trusses of showy blossoms. It seems hardly fair to recommend it
for extensive planting, though if the nurseries could supply it there would be no special
objection; hut it In well worth using as an occasional specimen.

It is not poisonous, like some of Its near relatives. Fbank A, Wauqh.

Legislature, after what has
been called "the most piffling ses-
sion in Its history," enacted a
rather remarkable law calling for
the licensing of all nurserymen
who desire to do business in that
State. We present herewith a
brief resume of this law sent, as
stated lost week, hy our Atlanta
correspondent.

It is our understanding that
Louisiana already has in force
legislation of similar nature ana
purpose, but that no other States
have as yet taken as decisive
steps to prevent mislabeling, etc.,
as have the two named. There Is
every reason to believe, however,
that their action has been noted,
that the results of these laws are
going to be very carefully ana-
lyzed, and that, if they appear to
be successful and effective In giv-
ing the public the protection It
feels entitled to, they will be taken
aB models on which to base more
legislation in other States. Our
editorial and horticultural col-''
league, Chas. J. Bayne, of the
Macon News, tells us that he has
stated editorially that he could
not honestly say that he was
sorry the hill had passed, in view
of the abuses that have been prac-
ticed on orchardists, but that he
whs tremendously sorry that it
was necessary to pass It.

To such sentiments we can
heartily subscribe, especially be-
cause (here are those nurserymen
who merit no such meticulous
watching, but who nevertheless
will have to bear the burden Im-
posed on account of transgres-
sions of less worthy members of
the trade.

As Mr. Bayne poluts out, the
trouble to which any person must
— — — go in seeking reparation for al-
leged mislabeling, is very likely
to deter the average purchaser from taking advnutuge
of the law. The nurseryman, on the other hand, will
probably find it necessary to readjust his prices in
order to take care of the extra trouble, expense and
bookkeeping involved in living up to the law, so it
would appeal' as though this law must fall under the
head of those which, however well-luteutioned, serve
merely to place an added burden on the ultimate con-
sumer without benefiting him or anyone else in pro-
portion.

However, the law has but just been passed, and as
to its real merits or demerits, we shall see what we
.shall see. Meanwhile, we would be glad if our nur-
sery men readers would carefully scan the following
synopsis of the law and give us the benefit "f their
opinion ns to (1) the need of It, ('!) its practicability

Moon's— A Modern Nursery

It is easy enough to write about what one thinks the nursery business is
doing, or what it ought to do. But the only way to arrive at the facta of
the case is to go out in the field and actually see what is going on among
the representative concerns in the industry. We plan to conduct such little
tours from time to time — and here are the fruits of one of them — a visit
to the Wm. H. Moon Nursery of Pennsylvania.

We received two surprises the other
week when we paid u visit to the estab-
lishment of the Wm. H. JMoim Co. at Mur-
i-invilU', Til. The first was in regard to
the size of the plate — almost 700 acres.
The second was the statement made by J.
JCdwaid llooii, who piloted us around,
that out of 1400 varieties of plants
grown there, 1200 were propagated at the
nursery!

For those who have never had occa-
sion to visit this firmf an idea of the lay-
out might he interesting. The nursery is
located on the Pennsylvania shore o£ the
Delaware river, and its frontage of half a
mile faces the public park of Trenton,
N. J., across the river.

A considerable stretch of land beside the
water is low and level, then comes a
rapid rise in elevation, the remainder of
the property stretching out almost flat
on the highlands. As Mr. Moon put it:
"There are two levels and both levels are
level."

Of the total acreage, augmented last
Fnll by the addition of two farms, about
400 acres are in nursery stock: the rest
is being farmed. The fact that there
are two types of land — the river bottom
by the Delaware-" and the highlands farther
back — makes for two kinds oE soil. Thus ;
Barberry and Privet mate good growth
more quickly on the river." bottom, while
the uplands produce a. nice ball for ever-
greens ,tba,t is just right without being
' too heavy..'

The Moon Co. Specialties

; ">Iauy people know us, .-.for our eve^ ■'
greens," said Mr. Moon," but thoy dont
all know that these are not our only
specialties. For instance, we pride our-

"selves on our deoiduoua Dogwood, Planes,
Norway Maples and Beeches." "Where-,
upon, we kept our eyes open and soon

•spotted an unusual sight m these days
of quarantine — namely somewhere around
eight awes of AzaleaB and hybrid Rho-
dodendrons, in all sizes. The plants are
not set out any old fashion, but are
grouped artistically in the shade of a
well grown grove of deciduous trees,
whose trunks rise usually 10ft. or 12ft.

■ before showing a single branch. It is a

- Living lesson in the value of arrange-

iment. This stock was brought over be-
fore Quarantine 37.

, Of course, the evergreens are the most
important single unit. For instance, two
acre'B of nice young plants were brought

'out into bedB this Spring, probably as
large a block of Kostcr's Blue Spruce as
you may see in a day'B travel is here,
consisting of 2000 specimens, all grown
at the nursery.

Mr. Moon has great hopes for Abies

brachypbiln, one of 13. H. Wilson's Jap-
anese nods, arid places it higher tlian Nor-
way Spruce. We noticed a nice block oE
it.

An idea carried out thoroughly here
in the planting of id! cleared apace* with
a green manure crop — usually Cow Peas.

Personnel Notes

Abnut fi-5 men are employed here by
the Moon Co. even in Summer and it iB
interesting to note that most of the men
are veritable veterans. General Superin-
tendent I. Strickley Worthiugton has
been with the firm for 22 years.

The evergreen sections are in charge of
Harry Carter, who was here before the
war, and returned after service abroad.

The extensive uropactatton activities arc
under the direction of Charles B. Gunn,
who has been with the firm no less than
35 years.

any place that Mr. Moon was afraid to
take it. The result was that the rolling
motion brought on uit occasional feeling
highly reminiscent of ocean travel.

The farm lands are mostly devoted to
raising fodder for the livestock of the
nursery — horses and mules. It is planned
to start a dairy of 7.5 cows on one of
the new farms, the idea being to consume
more of the products of the soil on the
spot and return the fertilizer direct.

Of course, the dairy will also give a
steady income to the company through the
Winter and Summer months, The idea
will probably not bear fruit within the
year, but has been practically decided on.

Another aspect of the variety of the
company's interests may be obtained from
the fact that 15 acres of Asparagus ore
grown for the New York truck market
find cropped just after Memorial Day.

Tlic Ford took us over no less than
ten miles of private driveways and Mr.
Moon informed us that there are in all
about 900 rows of nursery stock to keep
cultivated.

The Propagation Plant

The propagating frames total nearly a
mile in length, all of them concrete with
a wooden top. Forty of them average
125ft. in length.

Concerning the propagation of Japanese
Maple, Mr. Moon stated that the seed
haa been frost bitten the last two or

The river bottom lauds are-, in the bands
of Charles Balogb, a ten-year veteran,
and James Leonard, formerly of the
Elizabeth Nursery Co., has been with
the firm 12 years.

Being ah old firm, the establishment
provides many interesting things for the
visitors to see. For instance, J. Edward
Moon himself dwells in a modest little
bouse that was built in 1737.

At Se

. Ford

We made the trip around the establish-
ment in a Ford sedan, and there wasn't

three years in this section and it is now
a caae of getting stocks.

An unusual and, we thought, excellent
idea ia carried out in four combined cold-
frames and greenhouses, 100ft.xl2ft.
These are eoldframes when viewed from
outside, but are sunk low enough to give
plenty of headroom and can thus be used
aB greenhouses. They are of Lord &,
Burnham construction, two being heated
and two not; but there are two thick-
nesses of glass with an air space between.
The houses are high enough to carry an
18in. plant comfortably. They are devoted
to Anemones, Azaleas and Chrysanthe-
mums in Summer and tender conifers in
Winter One house is devoted to shrubs
Winter and Summer and another holds
perennials all Winter and Chrysanthe-
tmunfl in Summer.

Three nice houses, 150ft. xUft, are also
to he seen; tiro of tbero carry conifers in
Winter, and one carries cuttings all the
year round, thereby giving two crops.
The varieties are mainly of conifers,
Lilacs and Azaleas.

Any extra space in Summer gues into
Snapdragon for the Trenton cut flower
market, Frank Clark being the consignee.
Summer crops of ('annus are nUo Kent
to him, us well as the cut Chrysanthe-
mums.

Altogether, we opine tlmt the Wm. H.
Moon Co. will co fur. XuL the least of
the factors is the sound of the builder's
luunine — heard mi all sides of the estab-
lishment, for Mmrisville is rapidly grow-
ing up as a fashionable suburb.

Standardizing Plant Descriptions

[Continued from page 731)

Qt opinion among growers, with the pos-
sibility that plants of the same name but
from different sources may actually dif-
fer or not "true to name."

The heights of plants at maturity
have been taken care of in the past by
figures in parenthesis or, better still,
since It permits greater leeway, they
may be classed as prostrate, very dwarf,
dwarf, small, medium, tall and very tall,
these degrees being designated by letters
of which the meanings are explained at
the beginning of each list. Character of
foliage is easily standardized and it is
also quite possible to refer briefly to cer-
tain uses for which plants are adapted.
In fact, while brevity should be the
keynote in cliese standardized descrip-
tions they coldd contain additional de-
scriptive sentences to be used where
apuce permitted or omitted at the option
of the dealer, without affecting the ac-
curacy and completeness of the original
brief description.

Incidentally, standardized descriptions
should also reduce the cost of catalog
making, by .saving time mniired for the
preparation of copy. A lens experienced
person could do the work, and these
would undoubtedly be advantages which
would enable the printer to do the job
more economically.

bilities of this phase of stuiitlnnMxutioii,

Something New

Aster hybridus lutens is a step toward
the real yellow Michaelmas Daisy. It
was shown by Amos Perry in London re-
cently and is a hybrid of Astor linosyris.
The flowers are said to be small, but very
numerous. The only time I saw a linosy-
ris it did not impress me; in fact, it was
a poorer form of Daisy than -I bad ever
seen. It was not always classed as an
Aster. The new hybrid will doubtless
lead us on to the really good yellow Aster
for the race has always been rather lim-
ited in coloring. W.

Seattle (Wash.) Nursery Notes

Propagation is the order of the day;
in several local nurseries this year, more
than ordinary attention is being given
to this phase of the business. Conifers,
broad leaved evergreens and deciduous
ornamental and flowering shrubs are being
propagated fairly freely. In spite of the
long spell of dry weather experienced this
past Summer, stock is looking fine.

Surplus lists are in circulation, and a
perusal of them indicates a shortage in
some popular varieties of stock such as
the Japanese viburnums, Tamarix, Scar-
let Hawthorn and Clematis Jackmanii.
How is it we see so few of the better va-
rieties of Deutzias, Weigelas and Phila-
delphus offered by the wholesale growers?
Is there no stock available?

Inquiries are beginning to come in;
there is a decided demand locally for
sour Cherries and supply is strictly lim-
ited. Hardy perennials show an increas-
ing demand which is being well met by
local specialists. Some very good stock
is available. Last week, the finest speci-
men of a plant of Thalictrum dipterocar-
pum I have ever seen was brought to my
attention in a local garden. By actual
measurement the flowering stalks were
12ft. tall and 3ft. through; another clump
growing alongside w-as 5ft. to 6ft. and 5ft.
through. The height for this plant given
in most catalogues is 4ft. I have, how-
ever, observed that many hardy peren-
nials when grown here, average from 1ft.
to 2ft. more in height than their normal
growth.

Referring to the article and illustra-
tion on page 569, F. E. of Aug. 26, on
"Lavender as a Florist's Novelty," my
observations are that this shrub is as
much at home on the soil or the North-
ern Pacific Coast as in the far famed
fields of Mitcham, Eng. Every nursery
here carries a stock and it is to be found
in every garden of any pretensions, and
also in gardens originated by old settlers.
Several inquiries for bloom were received
by me this year. At present, I know of
no one locally growing it as a commercial
crop although there is no doubt the open-
ing is there.

J. W. Adams, Richmond Nurseries and
Gene Sandahl of Burdett Bros, left this
week for a tour of various Oregon Nurse-
ries.

We are still quarantined for the White
Pine blister rust, and although several
inquiries for quantities of Gooseberry and
Red Currant for commercial plantings
have been received, at present there ap-
pears no likelihood of the ban on their
shipment being lifted. Our own record
is four field inspectors in three months
and a clean bill of health, but nothing do-
ing, as infection may be present wher
next inspector arrives. Geo. Cooper.

This is something for the Rose people
to practice on. It is a species of Rose
recently honored by the R. H. S. in
whose gardens it is growing. The stems
have triangular spines and the foliage
which is bronzy above and glaucous below,
is made up of seven to nine leaflets. Only
fruiting sprays were shown, the tips being
flagon shaped, and bright scarlet.

Rosa Moyesii

Rosa Moyesii, which was introduced by
Wilson from western China and which
has received a great deal of attention
in England and in the middle United
States where it is greatly valued as a
garden plant, and as a parent in breeding
new races of Roses, has proved until this
year a failure in the Arboretum. The
platnts have not usually been entirely
hardy here, and the flowers have been
few and of poor quality. The plants,
however, on the southern slope of Bussey
Hill were not injured last Winter and
are now covered with flowers. Rosa Moy-
esii is a large shrub up to 10ft. in height,
with stout branches sparingly armed with
short, straight prickles and blood red
flowers from an inch and a half to two
inches and a half in diameter. The deep
orange-red fruit is two and one-half
inches long, contracted below the apex,
and as beautiful as the flowers.

The gardens and landscape work at the
Canadian National Exhibition grounds
were especially beautiful this year, as .
was also the flower show in the large
Horticultural Building. The displays of
groups and cut flowers were as fine as
were ever shown at this show. Many
florists from out of town, including several
south of the border, visited the exhibition,
which contained much of interest to flo-
rists in general as well as the public.

First prize this year for decorative dis-
play of tropical and exotic plants went to
Thomas Manton of Eglington, the finest
that Manton ever put up, and that is say-
ing much. The grouping was naturally
artistic, using a mirror to give a cave
effect, running water and exceptionally
fine material. The second prize went to
H. G. Dillemuth, in a group in which the
colors were well arranged and the ma-
terial well selected.

The exhibit by Dale Estate, Brampton,
of orchids was beautifully arranged. In
cut flowers there were contests each week,
and many growers were represented.

J. A. Neal reports a busy Summer. He
and Mrs. Neal found time, however, to
spend a brief holiday at Buffalo. He had
a window display of Asters, and these
were beautiful. One vase had blooms 6in.
in diameter and stems 24in. long.

Chas. Cooper has a new sign swinging
in front of his store. It has gold scroll
letters "Cooper Florist" on a purple back-
ground, with Chrysanthemums in natural
colors intertwining.

Many florists from out of town are in
attendance at the Canadian National Ex-
hibition. Among those seen were Mr.
Greaver and Mr. Kraemer of Buffalo,
N. Y.

Fred R. Millar, member of several in-
dustrial concerns, including the Canada
Flax and Seed Co., died recently.

H. G. pillemuth finds business picking
up in spite of the fact that the public
have still large quantities of flowers in
their gardens.

A. j. Frost, corner of Concord and Hal-
lam sts., has several good selling ideas
which have been the means of greatly
boosting his sales during the past three
or four years. The Exchange representa-
tive recently visited the store and green-
houses, and was shown over the range by
Arthur Frost. There were long benches

customers the various garden flowers and

The Flower Show

Last week I touched upon the
flower snow held in connection with the
United Shoe Machinery Athletic Asso-
ciation of Beverly, Mass. I might add
that Harry B. Ellis had charge of the
show, assisted bv James Tappan, H. S.
Mitchell, Ralph Warren and Charles W.
Allen. Over 20,000 were in attendance.
The judges were James Morton, gardener
the Pitman estate ; Frank Maitland, gar-
dener the Koshland estate ; Alexander
Lawrie, gardener H. H. Whitman es-
tate.

Two hundred dollars' worth of solid
silverware was given as prizes in the
leading entries.

Some of the most important classes
were :

Dahlias, best collection, 25 varieties —
silver cup, 1st, won by Thomas Leavitt ;
2d, silver cup. A. C. "Warren & Son, of
Beverly, Mass.

Dahlias, best collection. 12 varieties —
silver card tray, A. C. Warren & Son.

Dahlias, finest and most meritorious
display — silver flower vase, Success
Dahlia Gardens, Lawrence, Mass.

Gladioli, 15 vases, distinct — silver bon
bon dish. 1st, won by Samuel B. Crom-
bie, of Beverly ; 2d, silver cup, won by
Frank Taylor.

Gladioli, finest and most meritorious
display — pair silver candlesticks, won
by Samuel B. Crombie.

Best table of flowers — silver flower
vase, won by Ralph W. Ward, Beverly,
Mass.

Best exhibit of flowers and potted
plants, won by Ralph W. Ward (silver
cup).

Southworth Bros., of Beverly, Mass..
had a wonderful display of cut stock from
their nurseries, and the Cedar Acres
Nurseries (B. Hammond Tracey) had a
beautiful display of Gladioli.

The Seven Acres Dahlia Farm, Stone-
ham, Mass. (L. N. Davis) had a notable
display of Dahlias.

Pertaining to the coal situation and
the burning of oil :

I am unable to find any florist in
Salem and vicinity who uses oil for fuel.
I am also unable to find any one with
a contrivance by which oil can be used
as fuel for heating greenhouses.

It now looks as if the florists around
here who burn soft coal will get all they
need by paying a stiff price for it. It
does look as if those who burn hard coal
will not be able to get it, in the way
they would like to, much before Decem-
ber.

Salem has coal come both by rail and
water ; one large coal company here has
an unloading station which means that
when coal does commence to come, it
will come good.

One florist reported to me that he
was going to burn coke ; in fact he had
made arrangements with his coal dealer
for the same. Another, wbo burns over
200 tons, reports that he only has 15
tons on hand.

No grower around here seems to be
worrying, and I think we will all pull
through the Winter with flying colors.

Retail Notes

Business is picking up along the
line in spite of the fact that the markets
continue glutted with outdoor flowers.
The Rosary was working on a very elabo-
rate wedding when I called. The B. F.
Barr Co. booked a big wedding order
while I was there, and Miss Carrie Steck-
man was getting out boxes and baskets
of her wonderful collection of outdoor
flowers.

Mrs. Goldbach and Walter Hammond
are likewise getting their share of the in-
creased business; so, taken as a whole,
the season is starting off with excellent
promise.

With Geranium Growers

Peter Brown has a fine lot of cut-
tings on his plants and a good big lot in
the sand. A fair proportion are going
black, which reduces the profits consider-
ably. His acre of Pansy seedlings is one
mass of green healthy plants, and while
it is impossible to even guess at the num-
ber, they must run into the millions. Mr.
and Mrs. Brown spent their Summer in
Germany, visiting Mr. Brown's relatives
and the various seed growing concerns,
over which he is very enthusiastic.

Fred Ritchy has cuttings in quantity,
both on the plants and in the sand beds,
with a fair proportion of loss. This helps
to reduce his income tax. The writer also
has a fair proportion of cuttings coming
on and the same results in the sand, some
batches rooting 95 per cent, and others
put in a week later losing 60 per cent, the
only consolation being that the crop of
cuttings will be produced in the Winter
months, and with this in view two new
houses have been added for propagation.

In last week's notes I forgot to add
the Barrs to the list of guests at the
Galey Corn roast. As Mr. Barr is the
leading florist of the city it will not do
to leave him out when someone else en-
tertains. It is usually the Barrs who do
the entertaining for the rest of us.

Corn roasts are in season, and Mr. and
Mrs. A. M. Herr entertained about 160
Knight Templars the past week, two of
whom were florists, J. Wade Galey and
myself Albert M. Herr.

News Notes

Pittsburgh has just passed through
the hottest week of the Summer ; not con-
ducive to either good business or good
stock, cousequently the market has been
flooded with open Roses and medium
Gladioli and Asters. Of course, this does
not mean that there has been no good
stock ; the supply of salable stock has
been more than sufficient for all needs,
leaving- the balance to be dumped, as
there was absolutely no way of dispos-
ing of it.

There is not much to be had outside
the items mentioned with the exception
of a few early 'Slums, Easter Lilies, and
Delphinium, all of which met w7ith a
limited demand. It is to be hoped that
the great influx of outdoor stock will
let up soon, thus giving the greenhouse
stock a chance.

The McCallum Co. employees staged
a ball game Friday evening at Riverview
Park between teams from the store and
factory, which the store team won by
the score of 10 to 8. Much rivalry exists
between the two and the factory team is
to be given another chance next Friday
evening to get revenge.

The Week's Meetings and Exhibitions

Sept 19 to 21.— Westchester and Fairfield Horticul-
tural Society will hold its 11th annual flower show
at Greenwich, Conn.

Sept 21. — Eastern Nurserymen's Association. Special
meeting to be held at Trenton, N. J.

Sept 22 —Tarrytown Horticultural Society. Exhibi-
tion of Dahlias, Gladioli, etc., at Tarrytown, N. X.

Our issues of Sept. 2, Sept. 9, and this present one,
contain much material in regard to heating by oil,
and there will be more to come.

Readers are requested to send us in any information
in their possession which they themselves are cogni-
zant of as being actual facts. Much has been made
known by us in regard to heating by Mexican fuel
oil. which is undoubtedly the product required for
fairly large greenhouse plants. Just now we are par-
ticularly concerned with regard to the smaller grower,
the man who uses but a ton or two of coal up to five
tons a week; what substitute is most available for
him?

American Dahlia Society

The eighth annual meeting of this progressive asso-
ciation will be held at the Hotel Pennsylvania, Sept.
27, at 9 a.m. The Dahlia exhibition opens Sept. 26
and continues to the 29th. President Vincent is enthu-
siastic as to this approaching show, and is of the
belief that it will far excel any of its predecessors.
Dahlia enthusiasts will certainly be repaid for their
attendance.

Vacation Season Over

Just at the time the mountains take on their most
pleasing colors, when the lakes afford the best fish-
ing, and the sea appeals with its freshest breezes —
just then, custom has ordained, vacations must come
to a close. Labor Day sets an end to the general
two weeks' relief allotted the toiler and to the ideals
on which his mind had been storing up thoughts of
the pleasure to come.

Normal weeks are restored to industry in office,
store and factory, and the employer looks forward to
accomplishment from now on until at least the open-
ing of next Summer.

Fuel Oil and the Future

The man who created the well-known phrase, "If
Winter Comes" was obviously no florist with a green-
houseful of stock. Had he been, he would have
known that there's no "if" about Winter. It's a
dead certainty. The refrain that haunts the florist's
troubled mind goes more like this :
"When Winter comes
Will coal be far behind?"

But whether this apprehension need always be so
would seem to be largely contingent upon the prompt-
ness, thoroughness and intelligence with which green-
house operators take advantage of the opportunities
offered by modern apparatus for burning fuel oil. The
further we look into the situation the more evident
it becomes, first, that oil burners for florist establish-
ments are past the experimental stage; second, that
so long as the world uses gasoline there will be ample
supplies of the heavier, cheaper by-product fuel oils ;
and third, that for the man who is facing a really
critical problem in this coming Winter's coal supply,
oil burning offers a means of preventing the loss of
his stock.

Whether or not an oil burning installation will
justify itself on an economy basis as an emergency
measure during a single Winter is only one aspect
of the subject. It might be said that any expenditure
within reason would be justified if it saved a houseful
of valuable plants from destruction. But oil burning
equipment should be viewed as a more permanent
proposition ; as such it seems to make certain a suffi-
cient saving over coal burning operations to more
than pay for itself in a few years' time.

In sections (notably New England and Canada)
where this subject has been given particular atten-
tion by both florist and other industries, it is clear
that the larger, definitely reliable manufacturers of
oil burners are operating on a sane, conservative
basis. They are not attempting to make capital of
the coal shortage, but. rather, are letting their propo-
sition make its way on its merits, confident that those
who take it up after careful consideration and in
accurate relation to their individual conditions and
requirements, will find it not only a "substitute for
coal." but a substitute that is, in many respects, su-
perior to that which it replaces. Moreover, the high
class oil burner manufacturer today is cooperating
with him who installs such equipment, to the extent
of arranging for a sufficient supply of suitable fuel,
in addition to working out a feasible, adequate and
appropriate solution of the particular problem in-
volved.

Consequently our advice, this bright, warm Septem-
ber morning, is about like this :

If your coal outlook is especially dark, look into
this oil burning proposition right away, taking special
note of these points :

1. The stability and reliability of the burner con-
cerns you consult.

2. The certainty of a regular supply of the right
kind of oil in your immediate vicinity at a contract
price assured against unjustifiable fluctuations.

3. Tour ability to provide the necessary skill and
attention in operating the oil burner, and such precau-
tions against fire hazard as underwriter's regulations
and commonsense prescribe.

If you decide to take up oil burning, view it as a
permanent improvement, the cost of which you will
apply over a term of years, not as a piece of repair
work to be charged and paid for at once.

Before making a final decision call upon and talk
with, or at any events correspond with, some grower
who is now using oil under circumstances not unlike
your own. We will be glad to help you get in touch
with such a man.

When going through our mail this morning we
came across a letter that looked as if it had not come
through the mail, but had been delivered by hand.
We were suspicious, but opened it nevertheless and
read as follows:

Sir : In regard to your published inquiries as to
how to meet the threatening fuel shortage, I am not
yet prepared to explain my new method whereby a
greenhouse can be heated without coal or oil, but I
am glad to offer, without expectation of remunera-
tion, the following suggestion : If any florist, person-
ally, feels chilly about the hands, feet or elsewhere,
let him at once write a cheque for $2.50, and mail it
with a new or renewal subscription to The Exchange.
It will serve to improve the general circulation, and
he will soon feel the beneficial effects. Signed (yes,
you've guessed it) — The Ad Man.

What d'ye think of that?

The Old, Old Game

Of course there are all kinds of florists, but how is
it that so many of them are, apparently, "easy
marks?" Is it, perhaps, because, dealing with such
sincere, sweet-natured, beneficent materials as flowers
and plants they become too trusting and develop an
unfortunate, all too perfect trust in human nature?

There came to us recently over the telephone a
plaintive protest from another retailer whose willing-
ness to be of service has proved costly. Two well-
appearing men entered his shop, ordered a moderately
expensive floral piece to be sent to a fashionable sec-
tion of the city, and tendered, in payment, a $25
check. Apparently it looked good, for the change
was given and the deal closed. A little later the
check came back from the bank with the information
that there was no such account.

Really, it is so easy to get money in this great city
and country that we sometimes wonder why robbers
go to the trouble of committing holdups, burglaries
and other violent thefts !

The F. T. D .— Unique, Inimitable

WITHIN a month, in Baltimore, Md., the Flo-
rists Telegraph Delivery Association is going
to hold its annual business meeting. Judging
by "past performances" — which have maintained a
strikingly high and uniform level — this meeting is
going to be another big success. The thought comes
to us, What are the factors — the secrets, if you like —
of the success of this organization's annual gather-
ings, and of the association itself as a whole? Prob-
ably there are many, but just at this moment three
suggest themselves.

First, there is the lofty purpose, the essentially
sound and praiseworthy foundation of mutual service
upon which the whole F. T. D. idea rests. The mem-
bers of the organization are business men and women
impelled by the same force that ever impels those
who sell goods — namely, profits and the making of a
living. But the keynote of the F. T. D. is not individ-
ual success at the cost of, or indifferent to, the fate
of others; rather is it the very acme of cooperation
and teamwork with public service as the ultimate ob-
ject. Fifty different florists can sell flowers individu-
ally, in competition with one another or with abso-
lutely no knowledge of or interest in one another ; but
let any one of them become imbued with the F. T. D.
spirit and try to carry out its idea and he has simply
got to work with one or more of his trade brethren.
And every F. T. D. order that he sends out or re-
ceives means what? Simply that some patron, some-
where, is receiving the benefit of a service that could
not be rendered in any other way.

That service, by the way, is not adapted to, nor
possible in the case of any other commodity than
flowers. How many of us have ever thought of that?
What are the essential elements of goods for which
orders can be exchanged by wire? First, they must
be perishable, else they could be sent direct even
across the country ; certainly flowers are that. Second,
they must be free of any trade mark or brand ; that is.
an order given in Springfield. Mass., must have the
same meaning in Seattle or San Antonio. Herein flow-
ers are not essentially different from vegetables, nur-
sery stock or almost any other agricultural product
that is marketed in the form in which it is produced,
and to which no dealer or producer affixes his own,
particular mark. However, nursery stock is not per-
ishable and therefore fails to meet the first require-
ment ; and vegetables and food products generally fall
short of the third characteristic of flowers — this is the
gift element, the character that makes one person
want to send them to another. This, it may be
claimed, is common also to candy — but candies bear
their makers' name: it is common to jewelry, silver-
ware, toys and a host of things — but these are not
perishable. And so. by a process of elimination, we
find that flowers, and flowers alone, are the medium
through which the F. T. D. principle can operate to
the fullest extent and highest degree of efficiency.
Thus, not only is the florist trade the first to have
taken up this truly wonderful scheme, but also it is
the only business that can hope to employ it, develop
it, benefit by it, and dedicate it to the service of the
public !

Just as the F. T. D. organization is thus unique
and impossible of imitation, so its annual meetings
have one characteristic that is not duplicated at other
trade conventions. This is the interest, the under-
lying impulse that attracts the members to them.

Consider the average trade convention : Men attend
it to hear important addresses, perhaps, and learn
new wrinkles in their lines ; they may wish to par-
ticipate in the election of officers and the development
of policies ; they may hope to do, or at least to lay the
foundation for, some profitable business ; they may
simply be grasping at an opportunity for an enjoy-
able social time away from the atmosphere of their
own towns and their own shops. Well, the F. T. D.
meetings offer all these same attractions, but they
offer another as well : namely, the chance for a man
to meet face to face other men with whom he has
already been doing business by telegraph.

Of course, one doesn't have to be friends with an-
other florist before exchanging orders with him ; the
fact that it is done through the F. T. D. guarantees
the safety of the transaction. Nevertheless, it is
human nature to want to know what he looks like,
how he talks, what his ideas and ambitions are. Per-
haps, from the time of your very first order you have
conjured up a mental picture of him ; if so, there is a
fascinating element of expectation in wondering how
the reality will measure up with your impression.
And in any case, you naturally take more interest in
orders that go to or come from a member of the trade
with whom you have chatted, banqueted, argued and
joined in a "community sing."

Yes, sir, and madam, the F. T. D. is unique; it is
inimitable : it is tremendous in its conception and,
thus far. correspondingly large in its operation ; its
standards are high ; its opportunities are vast. We
-can well he proud of it.

Kansas City in company with Wallace R. Pierson.
Mr. Henshaw caused some little amusement relating
to bis search for lamb chops in the beef country. He
declared that only by auto could one see the real
country.

Secretary Young, on request, gave a few details of
the great S. A. F. convention. The Kansas City
people certainly went further toward making perfec-
tion than ever had been done before. The organiza-
tion was wonderful and, incidentally, the local com-
mittees together with the Kansas City Chamber of
Commerce, relieved him of no small amount of work.
He moved that a hearty vote of thanks be accorded
the Kansas City florists, this being agreed to unani-
mously.

Prompted by the president, Anton Schultheis, Jr.,
endeavored to explain away the stories regarding the
wet tracks of the de luxe party. They had a grand
old time and certainly had an opportunity to cool
oft as on the lakes it was often a case of overcoats.

Chas. Totty briefly referred to the Canadian Flo-
rists convention and urged all who had not already
read it, to dig out the wonderful speech of Pres.
Groves. It was the finest speech of any kind ever
made in Mr. Totty 's hearing. President Irwin con-
curred and assured all that the Canadian florists do
things well. He followed with a descriptive account
of his long trip to the West.

Before the conclusion of business, Secretary Young
referred to the coming F. T. D. meeting at Balti-
more ; members might like the assistance of the
Transportation Committee. Paul Rigo at once de-
clared that the matter would be dealt with at once
and plans drawn up for a party trip, should same
be required.

The meeting then adjourned.

Roy F. Wilcox, Director-Elect of the S. A. F.

Roy F. Wilcox, of Montebello, Calif., whose remark-
able display of California-grown plants was one of
the leading features of the recent S. A. F. trade ex-
hibit at Kansas City, and whose election to a direc-
torship won the hearty approval of all present, is at
the present time operating 56 acres in the Golden
Gate State in the concentrated production of various
florist materials. These include Keutia palms, Box-
wood, Ericas for cut flowers, greenhouse Roses for
the Los Angeles market, and a number of ornamental
plants that do especially well in the vicinity of
Montebello.

He purchased this business from Jacob Dietrich
in March 1919, but since that time has done much
building both in the way of greenhouses and of lath
houses. Also, the acreage has been increased, the
equipment has been added to, and the stock on the
place has been entirely changed and greatly multi-
plied.

Mr. Wilcox was trained in the business of horticul-
ture by his father, J. F. Wilcox of Council Bluffs, la.
During his apprenticeship he entered Cornell Univer
sity, completing a course there in 1906. Later he was
associated with his father in business in Council
Bluffs, where they operated the largest greenhouse
establishment west of the Mississippi River. Upon
his father's death in May 1912, Mr. Wilcox assumed
full charge and managed the enterprise successfully
for five years. He then sold out his interest, and
at the beginning of the war enlisted in the army.
During his service he was forced to spend ten weeks
in the hospital and suffered serious impairment of
his health. Upon receiving his honorable discharge,
he decided that California was the logical place for
him to live and as a result he ultimately purchased
his present property in Montebello.

In the short time he has been established there he
has been honored with the presidency of the Cali-
fornia Association of Nurserymen which, as a matter
of fact, includes both nurserymen and florists, and is
an active organization looking after the interests of
the State's trade. He was also the president and ac-
tive head of the California Flower and Horticultural
Exhibition held in Los Angeles in Oct. 1921. This
event was the largest flower show ever held in the
Far West and proved a complete success.

He is a member of the Rotary Club of Los Angeles,
and does not hesitate to say how proud he is of the
many friends he has been able to make along the
Pacific Coast since settling there. "There are a won-
derful lot of people in the trade out here," he writes,
"and we all hope that the next S. A. F. Convention
will decide upon Los Angeles for 1924, which would
give us an opportunity to show the trade throughout
the country that there is plenty of real production

going on out here and that we have many things of
interest and value to the horticulture of America."

Without making any prophecies it would seem safe
to assume that if the far Western spirit is accurately
represented by Mr. Wilcox's energy and efficiency,
then Los Angeles would certainly be a logical site for
the convention next following that scheduled for
Hartford. Conn.

Charles R. Jones

It is with greatest sorrow that we are called upon
to record the death of Charles R. Jones, General Su-
perintendent of Public Parks of Baltimore City, one
ot the oldest of its municipal employees in the point
ol service and a man known to thousands of visitors
and patrons of our park system.

Mr. Jones was found dead, leaning over the steer-
ing wheel of his automobile, at 10 o'clock, Saturday
evening, Sept. 9. He had been out driving, and was
on his way home, when he became ill. Pulling up to
the curb, he died before assistance could be given, him

His employment by the city dates back to- May
1S97, when he was given a position as gardener. By
study and close application to duty he worked his
way, step by step, to the position of directing head
of one of the longest chains of municipal park sys-
tems on the Atlantic seaboard, being appointed to
this office on Nov. 20, 1920.

He was a man of many parts, a leader among his
many friends and associates, gifted with the rare
ability of accomplishing the work before him and
producing results for his superior officers. In his
intercourse with his fellow men, he was genial, af-
fable, friendly, courageous and most considerate, ever
ready to extend assistance to those who needed it.
All in all he was a man among men.

Mr. Jones was a graduate of the Baltimore City
College, and a member of the Masonic Order, the
Knights Templars, the National Association of Park
Superintendents and the Florists Club of Baltimore.
Surviving are his widow and two sons, Robert C. and
Clarence Clark Jones. R. n_

Summing Up the Heating Situation

(Continued from, page 711 1

For smaller greenhouses that burn only from 50 to
100 tons of coal. I think there are other systems cost-
ins less to install that would be as satisfactory. Those
I have in mind also depend on electricity for power
and are, for low pressure heating.

Pawtucket, R. I. Charles Laphah.

Fuel Oil for Florists

[Having been advised that Stielow Bros., wholesale
florists of Niles Center, 111., were successful users of
an oil burning heating plant, we wrote and asked
for a brief account of their experiences and a de-
scription of their equipment. We are glad to publish
the following interesting and comprehensive reply to
our letter, and take this opportunity of thanking the
Messrs. Stielow for their cooperation.— Ed.]
Editor The Florists Exchange:

- In reply to your request would say that we have
been burning fuel oil for the last 14 months. The type
of burner does not make much difference one way or
the other, so long as it atomizes the oil. The fire box
of the boiler has more to do with the successful burn-
ing of oil at lowest cost; the brick work will vary
with different types of boilers. We use 24 deg. to 26
deg. gravity oil with a zero cold test. In other words
this oil will flow in zero weather. Most cars in which
it is shipped contain steam coils and in addition we
turn steam into them in cold weather to make the
oil run off faster.

We have a concrete tank holding 120,000 gals. This
is buried in the ground and the oil flows off the car
into it by gravity. Our steel tank holds 500,000 gals.,
but into this we must pump the oil from the car.
When the oil is once in the tanks, two small steam
pumps force it directly to the burners under SO lbs.
pressure. Only one of the pumps is used at a time,
the other being held in reserve.

The exhaust steam from these pumps heats the oil
to 160 deg. F. or higher in a drum located above
the pumps. It is then led through a pipe alongside
the suction oil pipe, back into the storage tank, thus
helping to keep the oil warm where it enters the suc-
tion pipe line and making it flow that much easier.
Oil pumps will not lift oil much more than Sft.

Where the oil enters the burners, live steam enters
at the same time to break it up. If the steam can be
superheated, so much the better, as this takes out
most of the moisture. Most types of burners throw a
long flame which strikes the brick work, but also
leaves the front of the boiler comparatively cool.
This tends to shorten the life of the brick work and
does not always heat the boiler uniformly all over.

By changing our type of burner and also the ar-
rangement of brick work we did away with the long
flame and occasionally run our burner with our
damper almost closed, the front of the boiler being
■as hot as the back end. When our boiler is working
under a full load you can see very little of a flame in
our fire box. I trust that the above will be of some
help to other growers. Feed C. Stielow.

Firing with Soft Coal

As it appears almost inevitable that there will
have to be a considerable substitution of soft for
hard coal throughout the country this coming Winter,
the following suggestions, embodied in a letter printed
in the New York Herald, may be of interest and help
to some Exchange readers :

In using soft coal in a kitchen range, after the fire
is started it should be fired at alternate ends or sides.
That is, put a shovel of coal, say, on the back end ic-f
the fire. When that is burning clear cover the other
end or side. By this alternate firing very little smoke
will be produced.

In a small apartment house boiler alternate sides
of the furnace should be fired in the same way.

In the larger apartment houses most of the steam
heating boilers are of the H. T. type, and for this type
of boiler I designed a very simple and efficient smoke
preventer for one of my clients about the year 1882.
This was made free to the public and was fully de-
scribed in the technical press of that day. It cost about
for the material bought in the open market, and
any engineer worthy of that title could erect it in a
few hours.

The device mentioned as in use in the Equitable
Building is. if I am rightly informed, a patented de-
vice and expensive, although worth all it costs, but no
more efficient than the simple device above referred to.

Undoubtedly the market will be flooded with devices
guaranteed to save coal, and it would be well for pro-
spective purchasers to get the advice of competent per-
sons who make these questions a special study before
parting with their money. American Mechanic

reset. If left longer the flower spikes become small
and the flowers inferior since the bulbs do not do
well if crowded too closely. The Nytex Co. advises
that they will grow nicely on almost any good soil,
but that to produce first-class stock they need gener-
ous cultivation and plenty of fertilizer and moisture.
The blooming season starts in Texas about June 10,
and continues usually until December. The cut flow-
ers as well as the bulbs prove a thoroughly profitable
crop. At the time the photograph was taken (July
15) about 2000 spikes were being cut daily.

While this five-acre Tuberose enterprise is proving
thoroughly practical and profitable, the Nytex Co.
maintains as other specialties, 12 acres of Gardenias
(Cape Jasmines) from which it expects to market
some 800,000 blooms this season; 20,000 Gladioli; an
acre of Shasta Daisies ; half an acre of Governor Her-
rick Violets; Sweet Peas and a fern house for the
growing of plumosus and Sprengeri sprays.

Mexican Tuberoses in Texas

The accompanying illustration shows part of a field
of Mexican Tuberoses as grown in Alvin, Texas, by
the Nytex Floral Co.

The development of this activity by the company-
has several features of considerable interest. About
seven years ago it purchased an old but improved
piece of. property, .and in ploughing it up, about three
bushels of bulbs were brought to light. These were
set out in three rows about 200ft. long. The second
year the bulbs, which had naturally been given more
attention than formerly, were dug and produced
enough to plant the following season eight 600ft. rows.

Three years ago, when the crop was dug, 50,000 of
the largest bulbs were sold and the smaller ones re-
tained to be set out again, there being enough to plant
practically two acres.' These bulbs were set very
thickly, so this past season the company took out
every other clump, sold a number of large bulbs, and
set out the remainder over an additional area of
about two acres.

This season it advises us that it will dig that por-
tion of the field shown in the picture, retaining enough
stock to plant three additional acres, and selling the
surplus plants.

Tuberose bulbs, in the locality shown at least,
should be taken up every second year, divided and

The White Antigonon

Editor The Florists Exchange :

Noting in your issue of Aug. 19 an article on
the white Antigonon, will state that it is not particu-
larly rare. We have had it in Florida for the past
15 to 20 years, getting seeds from Mexico, South Sea
Islands, the Philippines and India. We enclose flow-
ers and foliage of both the pink and white forms;
you will see that the foliage of the white is quite
different from the pink.

We have not catalogued the white for past few sea-
sons, but have a limited number always in stock. It
will reproduce itself from seeds from isolated speci-
mens.

The Antigonon is a wonderful bee flower; it could
be grown for that purpose over a vast area of the
South. Its common name used in several countries
is "Chain of Love" vine.

Oneco, Fla. E. N. Reasoneb.

[The specimens sent are certainly distinct, and if
the Antigonon leptopus albus or albiflora of the die-'
tionaries is the same as the white form sent by Mr.
Reasoner, we can only conclude that the albus form
is not a form of leptopus but a distinct species. That
it seeds is proved by the fact that we found a ripe
seed in one of the flowers. Furthermore, not only is
the foliage distinct, being of rounded or heart-shaped
outline, while the pink form has leaves more angular
and arrow-head like. Moreover, while the stems of
the pink are deeply flanged, from which the name
Antigonon is derived, the white shows but little trace
of ribs or grooves. Then again the leaf petioles or
stems of the pink form are smooth and wiry, while
the white has its leaf stems broadly flanged, the
flanges actually being part of the leaf. We are in-
clined to think that the white form illustrated re-
cently is the same as the one referred to by Mr.
Reasoner and, that assuming it appeared in a batch
of pink seedlings, it was purely a chance rogue and
not an actual sport. Because of the distinct charac-
ters of the white sent by Mr. Reasoner and, assuming
it to be the albus form of Bailey and Johnson, we
are quite sure that it never was originated as a sport
from the pink leptopus. It may be a natural hybrid
but of what, seeing that there are but two other
species both pink?]

A Concession that Continues
to Prohibit

(Continued from page 713)

gating house is not any larger than is absolutely nec-
essary for the individual nurseryman's need. lin. pots
would require too much space. They are also un-
handy to work with, ■ being too large to hold firmly
between the fingers of one hand. In either case it
would be well toward Spring before these plants
showed any signs of rooting through, if. they lived
at all : and by that time it would probably be too late
for grafting.

Buying the smaller sized plants, imported early in
the Spring, you could plant them in a coldframe with
well prepared soil and leaf mold or peat. Plant about
5in. apart, shade with lath shades during the middle
of the day and also at night to protect from late
frosts ; this last, of course, according to the locality
of the grower. Thus properly taken care of. these
plants would develop a better root system in the
open ground than in pots and would grow large
enough for grafting the following Winter. Also in
case several should die, which is to be expected, the
loss in time and money would not be so discouraging
as it would had they been potted up and occupied
greenhouse bench space for several weeks.

Acer palmatum Unavailable with or without Soil

The Exchange has asked for suggestions as to
how Rhododendron ponticum, Azalea pontica and
Acer palmatum could be packed for import — without
sand, soil or earth on the roots" and still reach the
ultimate grower in vigorous health. Acer palmatum
will carry well in ordinary moss packing but, says
one nurseryman, "foreign stock of this plant cannot
be bad, so the granting of a special permit for its im-
portation does not help the situation." (Does anyone,
by the way, know where this stock can be bought?)
This same nurseryman referred to some domestic
grown plants two years old, but Sin. to 5in. in height.
They will require two more years' growth to make
them available. Domestic seed is apparently not to
be had and while seed may be imported its vitality
is much impaired in transit for, like that of our Sil-
ver Maple (Acer saccharinum) , it germinates prompt-
ly at maturity and should be planted immediately
upon ripening.

The same nurseryman was asked his experience in
importing Rhododendrons and Azaleas with soil
washed off. Last year he lost all his Azalea pontica
and 50 per cent of his Rhododendron ponticum, so
handled. This year he has figured 1 to 2 per cent of
live R. ponticum out of his importation and has suf-
fered 60 per cent loss of A. pontica and about the
same of his Rhododendron hybrids for propagating
wood.

If it were possible to import these plants success-
fully without a ball surely those foreign growers
have been "putting one over on us" for many years ;
but, judging from the experiences of the nurseryman
referred to above a "ball" goes a long way toward
success in importing this stock, notwithstanding the
fact that it is not necessary in collecting native do-
mestic plants.

Shipping without a ball of earth is a requirement
in the Japanese Beetle zone and if it cannot be done
successfully it behooves nurserymen to prove it by
actual tests. We say "actual tests" because the value
of a ball of earth in digging evergreens has been
recognized and practiced for so many years that the
present generation of nurserymen have acquired it as
a habit. They would be obliged to delve into their
forefathers' records for evidence to refute arguments

that a ball is unnecessary for successful transplant-
ing, unless recent actual failures of following this
practice can be cited.

We have known success to attend transplanting of
evergreens without a ball, but they are far out-
weighed by failures, in plants of larger size.

If evergreens can be shipped and transplanted suc-
cessfully, without a ball, then nurserymen within the
Japanese Beetle quarantine area — and the zone will
undoubtedly be extended next season — will have t'j
show those without the zone that a ball is not neces-
sary if they are to do any shipping.

Samuel Newman Baxter.

Root Washing Causes Large Losses

Some of the points that you bring up are the re-
verse of what was customary before the quarantine.
For instance, seedling and budded Roses, and seed-
ling Japanese Maples were always imported without
soil, simply packed in wet moss.

However, in regard to Rhododendrons and this
class of stock in general, on account of the fibrous
root condition of these plants, soil removal has been
found detrimental to the growth of the plants when
they arrived here, with the result there has been a
very large loss.

We have had quite a little correspondence with the
Department [of Agriculture] on the question of
Roses, and in a letter received today they advise us
they are going to take this matter up at the next
meeting of the Board.

Rutherford, N. J. Julius Roehhs Co.

Let the F. H. B. Show Us How

We know of no way to safely pack the plants you
mention so that they may arrive in good condition
unless the necessary amount of soil is allowed to
come along with the plants.

We are not in the business of importing nursery
stock and have no direct interest in the matter, but
if our advice were asked we would suggest that to
facilitate the establishment of producing centers of
these excluded plants, and as a means to insure their
success, the F. H. B. should allow sufficient soil to be
left about these plants so long as- the balls are prop-
erly burlapped and the ventilation holes in the cases
are provided with fine mesh screening. This foreign
soil could be washed off with safety at the consignee's
nursery or .at Washington, under supervision of a
competent inspector who could see to it that the
washed off soil is properly sterilized or disinfected.

While this arrangement would not be ideal for the
plants, it would probably eliminate 70 per cent of the
losses now caused by washing abroad.

Soil Removal Invariably Injurious

With reference to your inquiry as to the possibility
of safely importing the plants you ' mention after
their roots have been washed free of earth, we feel
very definitely on this subject.

We believe it is a fact generally acknowledged by
experienced horticulturists that plants of this fam-
ily (Ericaceae) cannot have their roots washed with-
out suffering serious injury. The fine hairlike roots
are normally protected by a sort of slimy covering
which in turn is kept in place by the coating of soil.
When this soil and this slimy substance are removed
and the plants are shipped thousands of miles to an-
other country, the situation is not unlike that which
would result if a group of human beings were de-
nuded of their clothing, packed in a freight car, and
shipped to California in Midwinter. Some of them —
the exceedingly hardy ones — would come through
alive; a few of the others, although arriving in poor
condition, might gradually recover their health un-
der careful treatment; but the majority would prob-
ably succumb en route or soon after delivery.

As a matter of fact, there are relatively few grow-
ers in this country able to give Rhododendrons, Azal-
eas, etc., the right kind of care and the necessary
treatment in budding or grafting them under the
most favorable conditions, let alone when they have
been subjected to soil washing. These experts, we
believe, without exception, realize the impracticabil-
ity of the treatment upon which the F. H. B. insists,
and for that reason are making little or no effort to
import plants under the restrictions imposed. In
other words, they are not going to take the chances
involved in importing plants that have been washed.
This being the case, the requirement of the F. H. B.
is almost as prohibitive as a definite order actually
preventing all importations would be.

Even when you consider other plants than Rhodo-
dendrons and the like, we are satisfied that soil wash-
ing is injurious. Last year after filling our orders
for imported French fruit stocks, which in accord-
ance with the F. H. B. requirements (but to the
great astonishment of our French dealers) we or-
dered washed free of all soil, we received exactly
as many complaints as there were orders. The cus-
tomers wanted to know why they had received plants
in such poor condition. Most of them, however, were
good enough horticulturists to realize, when we ex-
plained the situation, that it was not the condition
of the plants in the first place nor any feature of
their handling en route, but the treatment they had
received preparatory to shipment that resulted in
their being delivered in a seriously weakened condi-
tion.

I think it is safe to say that 50 per cent of the
stock imported last year after their roots had been
washed died as a result of the treatment.

These being the facts, as we know them, it is ob-
vious that the F. H. B.'s extension of the time limit
for the issuance of permits for Rhododendrons, Azal-
eas and Acer palmatum is nothing but a high-sound-
ing sop to public opinion. It will have absolutely
no effect upon importation activities, since those who
know the situation will not attempt to import under
the restrictions imposed, while those who do not know
what they are attempting, will probably lose a large
proportion of what they tried to import.

Growing Dahlias in Alaska

The narrative herewith of Dahlia growing in the
Far North, although written by an amateur, will un-
doubtedly prove attractive — to our expert Dahlia spe-
cialists especially — if for no other reason than to
show that this plant is essentially that for all the
people. The story comes to us from W. C. Blanchard,
a resident of Skagway, Alaska, through the kindness
of M. G. Tyler, grower of Mastick Dahlias, Portland,
Ore.

Ignorance, aided and abetted by popular authors,
movie producers and other misinformers, has been
responsible for the nationwide conception of Alaska
as a Far North land of ice, snow, glaciers, hardy
gold miners, picturesque Eskimos and malamute dogs.
In the Arctic regions of the vast territory this pic-
ture might in a measure be true, but Southeastern
Alaska — tempered climatically as it is by the warm
Japan current — presents quite a different aspect.
One thing indeed we have and that is the mighty
glaciers which are mainly centered in this South-
eastern section ; even as I write, my eyes rest ou the
glory of white and flashing blue reflected from one of
these relics of a bygone age — fitting climax to a
wondrous panorama of mountain, valley and sea.

Our little town, Skagway, is the gateway to interior
Alaska and Yukon Territory, and is the point where
disembarked in 1897 and 189S the horde of gold seek-
ers bound for the world famous Klondike. Here the
heartaching and backbreaking trail commenced, but
today the traveler may traverse the same trail in aU
the comfort afforded by a modern railroad parlor car.

The Florists Exchange

The palmy days of '97 and '98 will never be re-
enacted and. in the intervening years, Skagway has
changed from a thronging "wide open" frontier town
to a modern law-abiding community of approximately
500 inhabitants. The town lies at the head of Lynn
Canal, a majestic fjord-like arm of the Pacific Ocean,
reaching deep into the heart of the coastal mountains.
Only twenty miles away the waters of the Yukon
River commence a journey of about two thousand
miles to Behring Sea. The port of Skagway is open
the year around, and Winter temperatures rarely fall
below zero. The Summers are delightful, as the thou-
sands of tourists who have visited us can attest.

It has astonished and delighted our visitors to see
the flowers which are grown here. The writer has a
garden in which Dahlias predominate, but we also
grow — to name just a few — Sweet Peas, Asters, Pan-
sies. Nasturtiums, Antirrhinums, Gladioli, Phlox and
Delphiniums — and our garden is probably the most
photographed spot in all of Alaska. One of the fa-
vorite pictures taken by tourists shows the flowers in
the foreground with Ferebee Glacier in the distance,
four miles or so away. The contrast is a most un-
usual one and always attracts attention. Our Dah-
lias are grown to lOin. in diameter, Pansies fre-
quently 3in., and Asters Tin. across. Last year the
Sweet' Peas were 10ft. in height, so that we had to
use a stepladder to pick the top blossoms. It is the
Dahlias, however — the King of Flowers — that we
take the greatest pride in and which create the great-
est admiration, and a few words as to their culture
in this latitude might be of interest to Dahlia lovers;
incidentally, this Dahlia garden of about SO plants
is in all probability the farthest North Dahlia gar-
den on the continent. We try to keep in touch with
the best of the new introductions, and the varieties
grown include many of the aristocrats of Dahliadom.
Most of them grow vigorously and produce huge per-
fect blooms with great freedom. We rarely disbud,
preferring to let the plants grow as Nature intended
they should. Occasionally we find a variety that does
not' do well with us, probably for the reason that it
is better adapted to a warmer clime; the great ma-
jority of Dahlias, however, take kindly to our soil
and climate.

Our first frosts are usually due somewhere near
Sept. 10 (although we have a record as late as Oct.
2 in 1913 and Oct. 15 in 1917), and our whole aim is
to get the plants into bloom as quickly as possible;
in other words, the Dahlia with us is strictly a Sum-
mer flower instead of a Fall flower. The tubers are
therefore prevailed upon to sprout the latter part of
March, if possible; as soon as sprouted they are set
into large pots, and grown on under glass until May.
During May they are kept outdoors as much as pos-
sible to harden off, and then between May 25 and
June 1 the plants are set out into their permanent
position in the garden. Even at this period it is
necessary to keep a watchful eye for a late frost,
and if conditions are threatening the plants are cov-
ered with light canvas, etc., for protection. It is not
an unusual spectacle for insomnia-inclined neighbors
to see the writer desperately covering up his young
Dahlia plants at two or three o'clock in the morning.
I use the word "see" purposely, because at the hours
named, and at date of June 1 or thereabouts, it is
broad daylight.

My plants will average a foot or so in height when
set out and at that time they are in active vigorous
growth. The transplanting, when carefully done, is
only a very slight check to the plants; within a few
days they are growing faster than ever. During the
long days of June and July they make wonderful
growth; last Summer, for example, I measured the
vertical growth of a plant of "The Grizzley," and
found that it grew 12in. in a period of ten days. The
soil is a sandy loam which seems to be entirely suit-
able to Dahlia culture, but it requires considerable
animal manures plus some commercial fertilizers to
maintain the proper degree of fertility. There is a
very light rainfall here during the Summer months
and' the plants consequently must have a thorough
soaking of water twice a week.

The day after the first heavy frost is the saddest
day of the year in our household. At that time the
Dahlias are at their very best, and it is always diffi-
cult for us to reconcile ourselves to the change from
a garden of riotous bloom to one of almost complete
ruin. We do manage to cling to one bright spot; a
bed of about 20 Dahlias so arranged that it can be
covered with canvas, and this canvas with lanterns
placed underneath has, on more than one occasion,
given us an ample supply of blooms for a month or
more after the firsl frost.

The methods outlined above give us results in Dah-
lia culture, of which we are quite proud. Not be-
cause the Dahlias are any better than those grown
in other favored localities, but because we manage to
triumph over the climatic shortcomings which I have
mentioned, and notwithstanding adverse conditions
produce blooms which are notable for size, color, and
all-around perfection.

I Make a Friend and a Confession

At seven in the morning we had our last breakfast
on the good old steamer, and by eight o'clock had
said good-bye to our companions, whom we shall
probably not see any more. But, hold on ; not so. A
dozen or two of my new friends are going along with
me up the St. John's as far as Sanford, 200 miles up
the river. A friendly gentleman from New York, with
whom 1 have become well acquainted, decides to stay
with me and hazard the dangers and tribulations of
the voyage to the interior. To fortify ourselves
against all the Imagined dangers we hunt up a good
hotel and, after inscribing our important names on
the register, holler loudly for some Budweiser, a few
bottles of which soon find their way into our interiors.
I might as well confess, right here, that my jovial
friend was a German and that from now on I shall
not mention Budweiser any more, for the simple rea-
son that, as we made the imbibing of it a regular
performance upon the least provocation, careful men-
tion of all these happy moments might become tire-
some.

First Impressions of Jacksonville

To make the trip up the river one has to stay over
in Jacksonville until the next noon and so, after
taking a bath and sending off a few dozen postcards,
we set out to do the town. Jacksonville is a beauti-
ful, modern, thriving city with numerous charming
suburbs, enchanting parks, grand metropolitan busi-
ness blocks and superb public and municipal build-
ings. The department stores, banks and theatres can
hardly be surpassed in New York or Boston and the
street traffic reminds one of these cities. Jackson-
ville is the largest city in the State and is growing
wonderfully, the gain in population having been 5S.7
per cent since 1910. The largest steamships can enter
the harbor and all passenger trains arrive at and de-
part from the Union Station.

The streets are wide, well paved and shaded with
noble trees. The Northerner is enchanted by the long
avenues of tall Palmettos and the public parks
which contain superb specimens of all sorts of palms
and Cycases. I could not help it, but I often stood
for ten minutes or more in one spot, admiring these
noble plants and congratulating myself upon having
come, at last, to Florida the Beautiful.

Flowers — Native and of the North

And the gardens ! Gardens and flowers were every-
where, an exuberance of tropical flowers and foliage.
And yet, mixed in with all this tropical glory and
boldly standing out against it and even enhancing it,
are the flowers we know so well in New England.
They seem to feel perfectly at home and to do even
better than with us. There are Dahlias, Cosmos,
Gladioli; whole beds and great borders of Phlox
Drummondii ; and, especially, Vinca rosea and V. alba,
which grow most luxuriantly and are much used.
Even Chrysanthemums and Violets are often met
with. The English Ivy clambers up the stems of tall
Phoenixes and Palmettos or trails from window boxes
and over fences and walls. Our Boston fern is the
favorite in every garden, filling tubs or boxes or
planted in the open where it forms magnificent mon-
ster specimens. Sometimes, or rather very often, it is
used as a border to the walks, for which purpose As-
paragus Sprengeri is also much liked. Tuberoses
are often seen, and almost every garden or yard has
a display of Spider Lilies (Pancratium caribmim),
often forming a hedge on either side of the walk
leading up to the house. Then the Hibiscus ! It is
simply everywhere and well deserves to be. The
large, dazzling scarlet flowers greet one wherever one
choses to look, but there are a number of other shades
too — light and dark pink, flesh colored, apricot and
nearly yellow. These are also much used for solid
hedges, the same as the Allamandas, which are among
the commonest of garden plants here displaying their
cheerful green leaves and golden flowers in all direc-
tions. Cannas and Zinnias and French Marigolds help
to brighten many a space. Galadium esculentum
grows to immense size and the fancy C'aladiums grow
like weeds, even in waste lots where they form big
patches of charming color combinations.

Poinsettias in a New Role

There are many more flowers to he noticed, many
of which I never knew and don't know now. But I
knew the Poinsettias. I have had all the trouble I
wanted growing the blamed things in the greenhouse,
and here they laughed at me by the hundreds of
thousands, the commonest thing a man can see. Not
a garden or yard hut has a riot of Poinsettias and
such plants. Nothing ails them here and it must be

a glorious sight when they bloom. I sure must go
and look at them some Winter time when in Boston
the old thermometer hangs around 15 deg. below
zero. Great Yuccas, Dracaenas and monstrous Ficus,
Magnolia and Laurels vie with many an unknown
exotic tree. Yucca and Dracama form real trees, 10ft.
to 20ft. high, looking like blamed feather dusters.

But what took my eye as much as anything were
the Bamboos. They are so gigantic, tropical and yet
graceful. They are, to my mind, one of Nature's most
wonderful creations. I will not say more about them
now because when I saw them in Jacksonville, I had
no idea of what I would see later in the interior and
especially on the West coast and at Reasoner Bros.
in Oneea. One other plant, however, my favorite, I
must mention. Already in Charleston I liked it and
here I was captivated by its charm. This is the Crape
Myrtle (L(igerstro3mi<i inMca). No wonder it is
planted wherever there is room, for it is simply lovely
and so homey.

The Love of Flowers and Its Effects

The Southern people sure do love flowers and are
happier for having so many, and all the year round at
that. While I was in Florida it was really the rainy
season, when flowers are not expected to bloom much.
But what must it be when they do bloom, I ask you !
There are movies and theatres galore and grand pool
parlors and music stores. The people seemed to me
a happy lot, full of music and whistling; less in-
clined to be in an everlasting hurry, the way we are
in the North, and all well dressed. The weather is
still delightful, just Summer-like; the thermometer
hovers between 7S deg. and 85 deg. so far and a
steady cool breeze is felt day and night. I gather
there have been some real old scorchers in Boston
and New York since I left. Wonder is it because I
did leave the old town? I have not had any occasion
to take off my coat as yet, and I have an idea that if
one wants to keep cool in the Summer he had better
come to Florida.

My friend and myself just had a dandy dinner and
are off on a side trip to St. Augustine, the oldest city
in North America. It is a trip of 45 miles by bus
and costs $2.50 for ^ne round trip.

Along a Florida Highway

No traveler in Florida should miss this sidetrip
from Jacksonville to St. Augustine. The bus ride,
of about an hour and a half, is over a good brick
road, first crossing the handsome, almost mile long
new bridge, built a year ago, over the St. John's
River, then repassing through the beautiful suburbs
where the mansions and villas of the rich are hidden

away in the tropical growth. The road is straight as
a string most of the way, with very few turns, and
these as almost everywhere in this section of Florida,
abruptly at right angles. Then the road runs on for
miles and miles, seemingly, without end.

Leaving the city behind, one traverses stretches
of the original forest, consisting of monster Live and
Water Oaks, overhung with streamers of Spanish
Moss. There are other strange trees, many mere old
skeletons standing among the young, living green.
Palmettos appear in clusters and great groups and
everything is entangled and snarled up. Ponds glis-
ten through the shadowy wilderness and ever so
often swarms of buzzards or a few herons or cranes
rise and soar away. Cedars, Magnolias, Bays and
Myrtle form Impenetrable thickets, where the Lord
only knows what beast may be hidden.

Then there are open glades, with Negro shanties,
where a dozen or more funny-looking, fat, glistening
pickaninnies wave and grin at you. One or two lean
razorback hogs are sure to be about and a mule is
browsing somewhere near the shack. The country is
absolutely level with no fences to be seen anywhere
and hardly any cultivated land except, perhaps, a
patch or so of Sweet Potatoes or Cantaloupes and
Watermelons. But no matter how poor the shack, it
is sure to sport on the veranda a dozen or two tubs
and pots mostly filled with Boston ferns and Aspara-
gus Sprengeri. The people down here seem to have
gone crazy over these plants. Of course, Hibiscus,
Allamanda, Crape Myrtle and the dwarf Poinciana
(Gwsalpma pulcherrima) , Oleanders, Petunias, etc.,
are sure to be seen, besides Vincas, Zinnias, and Phlox
Drummondii.

Southern Pine and Tar Pine grow everywhere,
sometime great forests of them, but. more often, scat-
tered groups or single trees. I rather like the way
this tar Pine grows : a straight, slender stem, with-
out a branch for 40ft. or 50ft. and then a loose clus-
ter of branches, almost like the tuft of a palm. It
always struck me as a curious spectacle to see Palms
and Pines growing together in the forest or in the
open glades. The young Pine growth is very plenti-
ful and presents a fine sight, it is so strong and so
cheerfully green. Almost every Pine seen in Florida
is scarred, where it has been ripped down on one
side and the bark chopped away, so as to bleed the
tree of its pitch and tar. Thousands and thousands
of the tin tar-buckets can be seen fastened to the
trees, with a spout above them, from which the sap
drips into the bucket. Great herds of cows roam in
the woods or open savannahs, almost every one with
a calf by her side. Quite often, too, a dairy herd is
seen and, far off, a farmstead with barns and silos.
Immense expanses of land are barren of any build-
ings and even trees, bearing nothing but Palmetto
scrub and Dog Fennel.

St. Augustine, the Ancient

At last the outskirts of St. Augustine are reached
and civilization begins once more and with a ven-
geance. Handsome bungalows, grand palms and en-
chanting gardens line each side of the road. Splen-

did hotels and public buildings begin to attract one's
notice and, before one is aware of it, he is in the
center of the city, surrounded on every side with
magnificent and strange views. St. Augustine is the
first permanent settlement by Europeans on the conti-
nent north of Mexico. It was founded in 1565 by
Pedro Menendez dAviles and has seen some strenu-
ous times in connection with wars, fires and attacks
by buccaneers and savages. Our stomachs having
received a thorough shaking up during the long ride,
we demolished at the Bennett House a bounteous
well served dinner, which cost us one dollar (it would
have cost three in Boston ) . Then we felt ready for a
stroll to old Fort Marion, which is only a few hun-
dred yards away.

This fort was originally the fortress "San Marco"
of the Spanish. It was under construction for one
hundred years, cost thirty million gold dollars, and
was not finished until 1756. It is an immense, mas-
sive structure, overlooking the harbor and built en-
tirely of "coquina" or Shell stone. It is well worth
spending a good deal of, time over, but our time was
circumscribed, and I tore myself away with regret.
A horticultural curiosity is the growth of Adiantum
capillus veneris, a Northern Maidenhair fern, which
in some way found a home here some twelve years
ago, and is now growing luxuriantly all over the
walls and ceilings in the dark prisons and chambers,
even where there is hardly a ray of light. It is
spreading all over the place. The bastions, torture
chambers, treasure room and casemates, also the old
chapel, the oldest in the United States, are all ex-
ceedingly interesting to one who likes such things,
as I do.

Sights and Sounds — and Memories

From the fort, my friend and myself took a stroll

through the town which may well be proud of its
magnificent hotels. The Ponce de Leon and the Al-
cazar are said to be the grandest hotels on earth and
I can well believe it. The size and grandeur of these
buildings is simply overwhelming and the gardens
and courtyards take away one's breath with their un-
believable beauty. Here are the tropical effects in
perfection. The public squares and the old slave mar-
ket also are a sight for sore eyes, with their colonades
and avenues of stately palms, Eucalyptus. Camphor
and other trees and groups and beds of Southern fo-
liage and flowering plants. The old town is most in-
teresting, too. Here are the original streets, some
not over 10ft. wide and without sidewalks, of the old
Spanish settlement. One cannot help the feeling that
he is walking in the past. One can almost smell
again the fragrance of the old Jamaica rum which
flowed here in streams, so history tells us. (The re-
mains of the smell was all my friend and I got, more's
the pity.) The town is compactly built and in a hurry
one can see a good deal of it, but not in a long while
will one tire of its charm or exhaust its resources.
The "oldest house in America" is worth a visit, as
are the Flagler Memorial Presbyterian Church and a
number of other beautiful churches. They are, all of
them, dignified and graceful structures and contribute
a great deal to the charm of St. Augustine.

Minnesota State Fair

The 1922 Minnesota State Fair closed Saturday
night last after experiencing one of the hottest weeks
of the Summer, probably one of the hottest Septem-
ber weeks ever known.

In spite of the heat the attendance was good, al-
though not as great as last year. The exhibits in hor-
ticulture were better than in former years. More
amateur flower growers exhibited and produced bet-
ter material in spite of the dry weather of this Sum-
mer. In the amateur table decorations in which gar-
den flowers were used there were 15 tables scoring
about 65, making it a rather hard task for O. J. Olson,
who acted as judge. Eighteen well made baskets of
wild flowers and ten baskets of garden flowers were
exhibited by amateurs. A creditable Gladiolus show
was kept in good condition all the week by the River-
view Gardens and Rainbow Gardens. The collections
of annuals and perennials put up by amateurs were
not as large as usual but of better quality. C. A
Kirtland won the American Gladioli Society bronze
medal for the best amateur collection of Gladioli.
Westside Floral Co. won first place with their Kai-
serin Roses ; Holm & Olson won first on Mrs. Charles
Russell, Columbia, Ophelia and red Roses. Chicago
Ave. Floral Co. won first on Premier and the best
yellow and pink Roses. Swanson's. Inc.. won first
on the best white Rose and second on Columbia.

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

One from Germany

A German florist was asked by a vis-
itor if the Rose named Marconi was any
good. The florist either from experience
or on assumption, replied, "No good for
the florist, it's wireless." Maybe the flo-
rist meant that the Rose lacks stiffness in
in stem, that is assuming there is such
a variety.

Lilium giganteum

One of our seed trade contemporaries
refers to this as a fine Lily for Scotland,
especially the mild south western border.
But, you may ask, what about here? Lest
some should imagine L. giganteum is the
giganteum of the florists, let me say that
the true L. giganteum is a totally distinct
species from the Himalayas and hardy
as far north as Boston. It easily puts all
other Lilies in the shade, both as re-
gards size of bulb, which may be any-
thing from 2 lbs. to 4 lbs.; height of
growth, leafage and flowers. The foliage
is heart shaped and extraordinarily large,
the base of the stem is as thick as a man's
wrist and it reaches up 10ft. or more,
sometimes bearing a dozen or so giant
trumpet shaped blooms, which are green-
ish white with a dark throat. The only
reason this Lily is not more known is
that it is not a commercial proposition for
the bulb merchant. The nurseryman
could, however, grow it and sell the bulbs

without keeping them out of the ground
long enough to dry the roots. Bulbs of
this Lily are best planted when small, as
then they can establish themselves in readi-
ness for flowering in a couple of years.
Large flowering bulbs such as are im-
ported into England rarely give satisfac-
tion; I never once flowered such bulbs,
but home grown bulbs were not at all
difficult. Bulbs can be raised from seed
easily and will flower in about five years.
After flowering, the bulb dies, leaving a
number of offsets which, when planted out,
will bloom in about two years. All this
most wonderful of Lilies requires, is deep,
leaf laden soil and shelter from winds,
such as can be afforded by a shrubbery.
The biggest lot of this Lily I ever saw
was an exhibit in London by G. W. Miller
of Wisbeck; he had several dozen, some
nearly 12ft. tall, arranged in a group. It
flowers in England in mid-Summer.

Flower Stealing

Tony Weller declared the law was a
"hass" and he was- surely right for there
always appears to be a way of getting
around it. Not long since, a small holder
near London stole some choice Sweet Pea
blooms from a neighbor's plot and won a
prize with them at a local show. The
grower sued, but to the amazement of the
magistrates the defendant's lawyer
quoted legal data which showed that trees
and all other vegetable products while an-
nexed to the soil, were not subjects of
larcenv, except when taken from the
soil. As a result, the case was dismissed.
However, another summons was made
out under another larceny act, whereby
it was shown that it is an offense to

steal, damage or destroy produce growing
in a garden and on this the thief was
fined, which goes to show that when you
go to court you need to know the law
from A to Z.

What Do You Know ?

A California naturalist named Dr. R.
Dixon wants to give Nature all the credit
for modern invention. He says the in-
ventor of the submarine stole the scheme
from a water plant known as the Bladder
Nut, .the fruits of which dive into the
water when alarmed. Can you picture
any kind of fruit getting scared? And
the airplane; the Wrights just "pinched"
the idea from the Dandelion and Aster
seeds and patented it. There is some more
of this sort of stuff, but I don't desire to
make anyone tired.

Music for Flowers

Nearly thirty years ago this writer used
to sit in his home made greenhouse and
serenade his plants with an Italian pipe,
jewsharp or piccolo. The reason was,
it wasn't safe indoors, but maybe the
music helped the plants. The following
from the Utica Daily Press is therefore
interesting:

"Some amazing, even idiotic qualities
have been claimed for music, but the lat-
est caps the climax. It was at the open-
ing meeting of the music trades conven-
tion held recently in Chicago, 5000 men
and women being in attendance, that the
president of a Milwaukee music com-
pany made the following 'remarks:'

" 'Housewives haven't been considerate
of their plants and flowers. "I just can't

keep flowers in my house," they complain
' and they look so lovely, too."

" 'Well, no wonder. Just as the human
being to be healthy and jubilant requires
nourishment complete in essential pro-
teids and fats, so the Roses, Violets.
Lilies, Petunias and Begonias simply
must have music in their daily diet.

" 'Try it, my friend. Put a vase of
Roses on your piano at home and then
softly and lovingly play Reginald de Ko-
ven's "O, Promise Me," or "Annie Laurie,"
or "Then You'll Remember Me," something
that has a heart appeal, not this immoral,
insane jazz. And watch those flowers
blossom out and blush with pleasure. The
caressing notes of the music creates sym-
pathetic waves that stimulate the Roses.
I have tried music on flowers and I know
it will work.'

"Would a phonograph in the backyard
garden help the shy Onions, Radishes and
Beans? the gentleman was asked. He
didn't know."

Farmer Gardeners

Two hundred and sixty thousand farm
families either made their first home gar-
den or changed their previous ways of
gardening in 1921, as a result of demon-
strations of improved methods by agri-
cultural extension agents, according to
reports received by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Does this mean
further additions to the supplies of flowers
for Summer markets, or will these farm-
ers really stick to the home garden for
the pleasure it gives them?

The Market

Sept. 4. — The market at time of writing
is at a standstill. Of course, there is a
certain amount of business doing, but the
intense heat has prevented any great de-
mand. Labor Day created but little de-
mand for flowers. Funeral and hospital
bouquets furnish what trade there is.
Gladioli have stiffened slightly in price,
especially in fancy varieties. Roses are
plentiful, but keeping qualities poor. Spe-
cial sales in these are seen all over. New
Carnations are very short stemmed and
poor flowers. In general, leftover Asters
and other flowers are unloaded at low
prices.

The outlook for business is good, but
cool nights and generally cooler weather
must arrive before anything can be really
doing. Chrysanthemums from the Coast
are expected, but the strike is causing
delay and may prevent shipments arriv-
ing on time.

Sept. 10. — The warm weather has
continued . and trade is naturally slow.
Gladioli have shortened up and prices
are higher for good grades. At time of
writing it is raining and prospects are
for cooler weather. Roses will improve
with cool nights. Asters are not quite
as plentiful. Carnations are coming in
slowly and small, early 'Mums will soon
make their appearance.

Society reports several weddings, mak-
ing September a rival of June. Many
new retail stores are opening up and
will soon cut a figure in the daily receipts
of the market. With prospects of strike
settlements, trade is bound to pick up.
The third of October is Veiled Prophets
Week and balls will create demand.

Trains bringing stock into the market
have arrived a few hours late; that has
been somewhat of a drawback.

News Notes

George Kuchner, manager at H. G.
Berning's, has been on his vacation the
past week.

Charlie Kuchna has recovered from his
injuries and is at his post again.

plant. He had charge of the greenhouses
at the colony of the feeble at Marshall.
The committees for the Fall show are
hard at work and determined to have
a show that will be a credit to the
city.

Ostertag Bros, have made great improve-
ments in their store room and green-
houses, where their decorative plants and
palms are stored. Charlie, son of Henry
Ostertag, is in full charge. They have
added recently a new delivery and seven-
passenger car. Calling, I fflund Charlie
very busy with funeral work.

We regret to announce the death of
an old pioneer florist, Adolph Brix, of 1516
St. Louis ave., in Europe, where he had
gone on business. Mr. Brix had been ill
six months, and he was in hopes his Euro-
pean trip would help him. He was 69
years old. Mrs. Brrx left St. Louis to
join her husband last week. He had
lived in St. Louis 34 years. He is sur-
vived by a son, Dr Arthur D. Brix, a
prominent dentist, and also a daughter,
Mrs. Adbline Grimm. The body will be
returned to St. Louis for burial.

George Kuehne is taking a well earned

vacation this_we e k .

H. G. Berning is working these warm
days just the same. He tells the young
fellows it is not so warm, don't worry.
Trains a little late, but what is the use

of kicking. ___^_

Most of the growers are working, not-
withstanding the heat. Thermometer
readings up to 125 are getting common.

Billy Edwards is starting to cut Car-
nations, but stems are short; flowers fair-
ly good.

There will be quite a number of new
floral stores starting up this Fall; the
more, the merrier.

The next meeting of the St. Louis Flo-
rists Club, Sept. 14, will be an interesting
one. Installation of officers at N. B.
Rowe's establishment, where a good enter-
tainment is promised.

Los Angeles, Calif.

The Fall flower show of San Diego Flo-
ral Association will be held Sept. 30 to
Oct. 1. Editor Robinson of California
Garden says : "It is an uncomfortable
fact that it is an absolute necessity to
fix the date for such a thing as a flower
show so far ahead, even in the stable cli-
mate of San Diego, but it has to be done.
The bold seven who direct the affairs of
the floral association always hate this
job, knowing that there are about 700
who will be sure that they could have
done done better should the Fates prove
unkind."

This association and the Pasadena Hor-
ticultural Society, are the only two or-
ganizations that continue the semi-annual
flower show business year after year. All
other attempts are spasmodic, and always
a financial failure. The Pasadena boys
do their own work, no paid servants of
any kind on the list except the men who
sweep up. The same is true of the San
Diego folks, and in both cases they al-
ways break even on expense account, and
frequently have some money to put in the
treasury.

Hal Kruckeberg has been located in
Colegrove now three years doing a fine
business in cut flower work and in land-
scape gardening. In front of his place of
business is a well kept Blue Grass lawn,
the path bordered with a neatly trimmed
Boxwood hedge.

Morris & Snow Seed Co. have on sale
Calla tubers which are a foot long, and
the growth shows that they are eleven
years old. These were grown in the Santa
Cruz section of the State.

Providence from Brooklyn with his wife
and daughter about 20 years ago. He
has a reputation as a miniature portrait
painter. He left over two weeks ago by
automobile, and Mrs. Jackson later found
a letter addressed to her in which her
husband said he would not return and
that he was providing for her by leaving
deeds to the home and to a large tract of
land near here, held by them jointly, as
well as two checks for the full amounts of
deposits in two banks. Until a year ago
Mr. Jackson was in the greenhouse busi-
ness, transferring this to his son-in-law
at the time.

Auburn, N. Y.

Business continues to languish; cut
flowers are in little demand and there
is less than the normal amount of

ant; Roses are plentiful and the first of
the Carnation crop is now in. W. B.

Dahlia Trials at Storrs, Conn.

body to see the Dahlia gardens of the
late Judge Marean, at Greens Farms,
Friday, Sept. 15.

The exhibits at the meeting were ex-
tremely good. J- F. Crystal.

St. Paul and Minneapolis

The State Fair and many weddings and
social events have kept local florists busy
the past week. The weather has been the
hottest ever known in September. This
combined with drought has injured the
lawns and is ripening most of the garden
flowers. Sunday there was a decided drop
in the temperature, nearly to the frost
line. The flower show committees are
getting busy and each should have much
of interest to report at the regular meet-
ing of the Minnesota State Florists As-
sociation, Thursday, Sept. 21. A meet-
ing of the general show committee was
held at the Elks Club, Sept. 7. Matters

Horticulturists Get Together

Cleveland Hort. Society Entertains
Sewickley (Pa.) Gardeners

In response to an invitation from the
Cleveland Horticultural Society a dele-
gation of some 14 members of the Sewick-
ley (Pa.) Horticultural Society, together
with several members' of the Pittsburgh
Gardeners and Florists Club, journeyed
to Cleveland on Wednesday, Aug. 16, to
visit the private estates in and around
the "City of Automobiles."

"From Morn 'Til Midnight"

Dawn was just breaking as the boys
made their way to the P. R. R. depot to
take the 5.30 a.m. train, which was met
in Cleveland by Pres. R. P. Brydon and
his colleagues of the local society, who,
with a well arranged schedule, saw to it
that there was something doing all day
until long after the sun had disappeared
below the western horizon. The start
was made down Lake Shore blvd. to
Bretonall where stops were made at the
A. G. Dalton and W. G. Matheson es-
tates.

At the Dalton place extensive additions
are being made to the greenhouse range,
and Supt. Adolph Steffensen was kept
very busy getting 'round among the vari-
ous mechanics at work.

At the Matheson place the visitors were
greeted by Miss Jaques, who in the ab-
sence of her father, George Jaques, super-
intendent there, conducted the tour of in-
spection. Mr. Jacques does not enjoy
very good health, so his daughter officiates
as his assistant, and a very efficient one,
too, both looking and acting the part in
a manner that must certainly be gratify-
ing to Mr. Jaques. At the greenhouses
refreshments were served and Mr. Jaques
managed to get down to have a chat with
the visitors before they left.

Sights at the Severance Estate

The Severance estate on Cleveland
Heights was the next stopping place and
Mr. Brown, the gardener, escorted, the
party through the well kept grounds and
gardens-. That he is a gardener of the
old school any one will discover who vis-
its this place. The neat well kept ap-
pearance of everything indicates his close
touch with all departments. The ever-
green planting about the residence, much
of it the work of Landscape Architect
Korvath, is well worth a visit to Cleve-
land at any time.

At the greenhouse everything was in
tiptop shape, a bench of Amelia Begonias
coming in for very favorable comment.
Chrysanthemums in benches, though some-
what dwarfer than we are wont to see
them, looked strong and healthy. Car-
nations recently benched were also strong
and thrifty. The herd of Guernseys at
this estate is a notable one and all the
cattlemen among the visitors spent con-
siderable time looking it over.

Stepping across the street the com-
pany next visited the Prentice estate
and after a tour of the extensive grounds,
regaled themselves with sandwiches and
coffee, served by the genial superintend-
ent, R. P. Brydon and his better half, as-
sisted by Miss Brown.

After a visit to the greenhouses where
everything was found growing handsome-
ly, the automobiles lined up and headed
by Mr. Frances a 15 mile run was made
to the Colby Estate at Wickcliffe, where
John Boddy presides as superintendent.
At the time he had his helpers busy get-
ting the weeds and Quack Grass out of
the lawn carpet of his outdoor theatre.
This place impressed the visitors as char-
acteristically English in its layout.

The pools and terraced gardens of the
Sherwin Williams place, where Mr. Webb
is presiding genius, came in for a good
deal of favorable comment. The large
pots of blue Agapanthus set around the
edge of the pool were singularly beauti-
ful. Several tubs of Lagerstroemia indi-
ca, (Crape Myrtle) and Vitex Agnus-Cas-
tus, though past their best, were still at-
tractive, and gave every indication of hav-
ing responded well to the care given them.

The Influence of Scotch and English in
America

The trip to Cedar Hill Gardens, the
Drury Estate at Willoughby, was an in-
teresting one, the old Corrigan Estate
being viewed en route as the time was
clipping away. Mr. Hamilton, the typical
Scotch gardener in charge of this place,
waiting to join the party for the

rest of the trip. Everything was in fine
shape at Cedar Hill, which is what might
be expected under the guiding hand of the
efficient, but modest superintendent, Mr.
Francis. The greenhouse range is being
extended by the addition of the houses
from Mr. Drury's place in Cleveland.
Fruit seems to be at home in this lo-
cality; at least Mr. Frances had plenty,
particularly Pears.

From Cedar Hill the visitors headed
for the E. S. Burke Estate at Chagrin
Falls, where Mr. Fischer, who not so
many years ago went from Massachusetts,
officiates. This is a new place, and there
is plenty of room for development, which
under Mr. Fischer's direction, is pro-
gressing rapidly. A recently built range
of greenhouses was being planted to a
wide variety of stock. Mr. Fischer is
strong on outdoor material, and many
hundreds of young evergreens just from
the propagating bench, were found planted
in frames. A batch of seedling Delphi-
niums raised from Kelway's seeds came in
for a good deal of comment. They were
very strong, and included some very de-
sirable types and colors. A trip was
made over a considerable part of the 15
miles of driveway on the estate to inspect
the old English residence which was im-
ported from England and reerected here
in its original form. This must have been
a real undertaking, but nevertheless the
building looks the part, as was attested
by several of the visitors who spent their
youth , in its native land. As daylight
was beginning to wane, the automobiles
were headed for Cleveland, by way of
the extensive Van Swearingen estate.
Those who had kept an eye on the speed-
ometer gave it a final once over as the
party pulled up in Cleveland and noted
that" more than 83 miles had been cov-
ered.

An excellent dinner, served at the Al-
hambra Cafe, brought to a close a happy
and well spent day. We have to hand
the palm for hosts to the Cleveland boys.
They are past masters at entertaining
and— but enough said: some of them may
read these notes. After dinner Pres.

Brydon expressed his pleasure, and that
of the Cleveland Society at having been
able to welcome so large a delegation of
visitors. Robert Weeks of Mansfield, 0.,
spoke in similar strain and pointed out
how such outings foster a fine feeling of
fellowship and mutual interest among
gardeners. John Barnet and John Car-
man responded for the Sewickley delega-
tion and Hiram Friskhorn for the Pitts-
burgh boys, each expressing the senti-
ments of one and all in saying that the
day was one that would long be remem-
bered. H. G.

The Market

The market this weekend has im-
proved somewhat and Saturday's sales
were normal for this season, but the
early part of the week with the tempera-
ture hovering around the century mark,
was dismal, indeed. Stock was soft, es-
pecially Roses, Butterfly and Premier be-
ing the worst offenders. Asters continue
to be poor and, taking the season all the
way through, the Aster crop was a fail-
ure.

Gladioli continue to dominate the mar-
ket and some excellent stock is arriving,
but even the fine stock does not command
a good price. Garden flowers are not very
desirable and they have suffered with the
intense heat. Valley is scarce and not
too good, and orchids almost an unknown
quantity. Lilies are firmer and in de-
mand. Greens are not quite so good, fancy
fern being the worst offender.

Plants of quality are almost unknown.

Cleveland Florists Club

The most important meeting of the
year of the Cleveland Florists Club was
held Monday, Sept. 11, at the Hollenden
with President McLaughlin in the chair.
The entertainment committee served an
excellent dinner and about sixty mem-
bers were present.

The feature of the evening was Herman
Knoble's instructive paper on "How to
Make Money in the Flower Business."
In his usually forceful and concise way,
Mr. Knoble spoke at length on the many
intricate problems confronting the retail
florist. He proved that the successful
business can be gained only by close at-
tention to detail and hard work. The
buying, the culling of flowers for the -ice
box and the window display are the main
details to be looked after.

Mr. Knoble has made a very close study
of the retail florists business and has
worked out a scale of rates. One es-
pecially interesting ratio is that of adver-
tising and rent. The two combined should
not exceed ten per cent of the gross sales.
If the rent amounts to eight per cent,
the advertising should only be two per
cent, while if the rent is two per cent, then
eight per cent could be appropriated to
advertising. The store work should be di-
vided to get the best results and if one
man has charge of a department, then a
hand can be placed on the party respon-
sible for any weak link in the organi-
zation.

Summed up: To be successful in the
retail florists business, one must buy well,
sell well, deliver well, keep up the ap-
pearance of the store and equipment, pay
close attention to detail and Work Hard.

We trust many more such talks will
be given by our talented members. The
field is a broad one and many problems
that confront us each day may have their
solutions by getting the other fellow's
slant on the daily work.

Karl Witthuhn's talk on the European
Corn Borer was .timely and instructive.
This destructive pest has invaded the Lake
Erie district and readers can get instruc-
tions on the best way to fight this fast
multiplying pest by addressing the officer
in charge of this section of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, A. Brewer, cor.
Prospect and 22d st.

Officers for 1923

The new officers for 1922-23 are:
Fred Witthuhn, president; Frank Kirch-
ner, first vice-president; Benjamin Brash-
witz, second vice-president; Hugh Charles-
worth, secretary; Kenneth Wilson, treas-
urer. The contest for the presidency was
rather interesting and Carl Hagenburger,
the defeated candidate, turned the election
to Mr. Witthuhn, making the election
unanimous.

Mr. Witthuhn, who does not know of
his elevation to the chair, will be noti-
fied by cable and it is hopued that his
new office will be to his entire satisfac-
tion. We believe he will make an ex-
cellent president. With years of suc-
cessful administration of his business
behind him and being an excellent judge
of men and character, he cannot but
be master of the arduous duties of presi-
dent. We think he is broad enough to
stand on his own ground and entirely
capable of running his office without the
help of outside influence. The ex-presi-
dents dictatorial message on his retire-
ment was without precedent. Let us have
no voice from beyond the grave.

The Florists Exchange extends to the
officers of the Cleveland Florists Club
its heartiest congratulations and best
wishes for a successful administration of
their various offices.

RETAIL DEPARTMENT

Resourceful Methods of Rounding Up Collections

By CLARENCE T. HUBBARD

THE approach of every Fall and Winter finds on
the books of many florists a certain number of
outstanding bills, generally the results of early
Summer and late Spring buying. Spring fever and
Summer lassitude generally bring with them a re-
laxation of effort aud this trait of human nature usu-
ally has its effect on the checkbook as well.

The florist anxious to avoid having his capital tied
up unnecessarily will do well to open up the subject
of these accounts before the Summer is far along and
before the majority of his customers will have left
the city. Failing in this, it is well to get on the track
of the accounts as soon as the customers have re-
turned from their vacations. Many times it needs
only a suggestion to round up the bulk of the out-
standing amounts and frequently such a suggestion
can be made through a form letter. Here is an ex-
ample of a communication of this type that will often
get results, and yet give the customer no offence :

Dear Sir:

In our store, during the Summer time whenever we
cannot find any lone we generally take it for granted
that he or she has gone away on a vacation.

This leads us, in our search for the missing amounts
on our ledger, to believe that perhaps some of our
dollars, too, are still on a vacation.

"While we do not deny that dollars should be given
some chance to rest, we fully believe that those repre-
sented in the attached bill have had sufficient relaxa-
tion, and we wonder whether at this time you could
'not send a few of them our way

Yours very truly,

It is not always desirable to send the same letter
of appeal to all delinquents and the selection of ap-
propriate letters for the purpose of effecting collec-
tions can best be carried out by the florist himself,
. who should be guided by the relations he enjoys with
his clients and his knowledge of their manner of tak-
ing things. Here, then, is another illustration of a
wholly inoffensive letter — one that will get the money
and at the same time hold the business. This is
particularly recommended for "first offence" custom-
ers and those who owe only small amounts :

Dear Sir:

&Ve have made no attempt to remind you of the at-
tached bill because of our knowledge of your dependa-
bility to remit in due time.

But my bookkeeper explains that a "little red tab"
spells danger, and as considerable time has elapsed
since the delivery of some of the items on the dupli-
cate bill attached I am prompted to write you, knowing
that in your usual good way you will do the needful
right thing, as we are really concerned in keeping the
"red tab" away from your good credit standing.
Yiours very truly,

There are some delinquents (whom the florist no
doubt can select by experience ) who fail to pay bills,
not with the intention of defrauding, but merely
from the impression that punctual remittance is not
important. Such folks cannot be won over by a mere
reminder, and it becomes necessary to gain their at-
tention by means of a letter that will convince

through the reasons set forth as to just why a prompt
settlement is desirable. Such a letter follows :
Dear Sir:

Every bank meets occasions when it is necessary to
call in loans. This may be due to a tight money mar-
ket, a fluctuation in commodities, or an export of gold.

In a sense some of our transactions are similar to
those of a bank. We, too, deal in loans. Every time we
sell flowers on credit we really extend a loan. Some-
times our market tightens and we. too, find it neces-
sary to call in some of our "loans."

Just at this moment we have heavy obligations fall-
ing due, the result of preparations for Winter, and
therefore we have had to set a time limit upon some
of the amounts due us.

This action, is only in accordance with good business
principles: and this letter is to ask if we may have
your remittance this week, if possible.
Very truly yours,

The movement for prompt collections is growing
more pronounced with florists as well as other mer-
chants each year. The experiences of the recent
period of depression, which is now giving way to
better conditions has taught all retailers many im-
portant lessons. And the customer is being reminded
from every direction that "credit" is something to be
highly respected.

The words of .1. Ogden Armour are an inspiration
to further effort along this line on the part of retail-
ers, including florists. Mr. Armour says :

"If we could shorten our average credits but
a single day, we could make a hundred thousand
dollars more profit in the year. Slow moving
credits will retard your profits as much as long
unsold goods on your shelves ; as far as you are
concerned the sale on credit means nothing until
the bill is paid. Until that time you have merely
loaned your customer the goods."
The proper use of letters for this purpose can do ;i
great deal to improve not only your own financial
situation, but conditions in general. Another letter
attacking along the "credit angle" is given below.
Incidentally it is submitted for study because it repre-
sents an appeal for money made along salesmanship
principles in that it persuades the customer to pay
instead of dunning him. Here it is:
Dear Sir:

Looking over my accounts the other day I saw a
number of small red clips extending from a file of
cards and I asked the bookkeeper just what they repre-
sented.

"Oh, those," he said, "are accounts due that have not
been paid." So I ran through them just to see who
was on the "danger list." Some of those "red tag"
accounts ran two or three months behind; five were
slated for our attorney; seven are already considered
"hopeless," and a bunch more are in process of being
forced legally to pay.

In this number I found the names of some customers
who were just a little bit tardy — yet their account had
the same red tag! They were in the same class as "poor
pay!"

I did not like this, so I spoke to the bookkeeper about
it He said there was no way to distinguish. All over-
due accounts had to be marked in some way.

A Florist Sign That Talks

One of the most effective pieces of advertising in
all Kansas City is shown in the accompanying photo-
graph. Its effectiveness is due partly to the fact that
the sign is situated on top of a low boiler house where
no other lights detract from it. and partly to the fact
that it faces the stream of traffic on the Paseo and
Meyer blvds., which are the heaviest traveled subur
ban highways in or around Kansas City. Surmount-
ing the words Rock's Flowers is an electric light
fountain which appears to play colored streams from
the center of a bowl filled with colored Roses. The
flasher system is employed on all the border lines of
the design. Standing alone against the solid dark
background of the night sky, the display invariably
attracts the attention of every passing motorist.

Baltimore Convention, Oct. 10, 11 and 12

An Honorable Mention Window in Scranton, Pa.

Display made at Vanston & Moran during a Convention of the Elks. As Mr. Vanston was a
judge his window could not compete for first premium. See text page 746.

Convention Details

We are proud to report that the local committees
are not drawing a rough outline of endeavor and ap-
preciation of your coming, but have worked up to a
perfect organization. Every minute detail has been
carefully considered and the historic old town is set
and ready for the arrival of members and guests. We
are anxiously awaiting the great privilege of clasp-
ing you by the hand and extending the old time cour-
tesies and hospitalities of our city. Meanwhile, we
want to impress on the members of the association the
necessity of making early hotel reservations. The
Emerson Hotel has been selected as headquarters for
the meetings and banquet, and is situated in the
heart of the business section of the city and easily
accessible to those having quarters in other hotels.

Railroad Travel

Particulars covering the purchase of railroad tick-
ets have been forwarded to all members of the asso-
ciation, and as travel on the certificate plan is open
only to the membership, it is necessary for us to go
into special details as to this feature. However, brief-
ly supplementing what Secretary Pochelon has already
notified the membership, railroad certificates should
be obtained when full fare ticket to Baltimore is pur-
chased. The certificate entitling purchaser to half
return fare, over same route as he went by, will be
valid only provided 250 certificates are validated at
Baltimore by Wednesday, Oct. 11. It is pointed out
that even a full fare of 67c, one way to Baltimore,
entitles purchaser to certificate: Members from near-
by points are requested to buy these tickets in order
to help swell the number purchased so the 250 will
be attained, as this will help out members coming
from distant points.

If the necessary minimum of 250 certificates are
presented at Baltimore, purchaser obtains a half fare
return rate and is entitled to defer his departure
from Baltimore to Oct. 16.

Hotel Accommodations

The Emerson Hotel will be headquarters.

The Southern Hotel is two squares from headquar-
ters.

Hotel Rennert is six squares from headquarters.

Hotel Belvidere. twelve squares from headquarters,
accessible by both electric cars and motor buses.

Hotel Strafford, nine squares frem headquarters.

(Continued from page 745)

Your name is on the red list. It does
not belong there — for they know you
are good pay. You always have been,
and I know you would not diminish
your good credit standing by getting
in the "red tag class."

For that reason I am having sent to
you another statement of all past due
items on your account. If anything is
in error please let me know. We want
t'O tag your account with the "white
clip," which means — always g"ood pay.
Tours in good thought,

The .collection of slow bills is the prob-
lem every florist has to face. It is esti-
mated that four billions of dollars are at
present "frozen up" in open accounts
throughout the United States. This does
nor represent "poor credit,'.' but the out-
ome of an accumulation of various cir-

cumstances. Ton, as an alert florist,
through the use of a few diplomatically
prepared letters, cau to a large degree
increase the working capital and the
profits of your store.

A Striking Window Display

also accessible by electric cars and mo-
tor buses.

New Howard Hotel, six squares from
headquarters.

Caswell Hotel, four squares from head-
quarters.

We are advised that the races will be
on about this time, helping crowd the
hotels, and making it all the more neces-
sary to secure reservations well in ad-
vance. Headers taking our advice will
write at once for their reservations, ac-
companying their letter with a substan-
tial deposit; otherwise, on arrival they
are more than likely to be subjected to
the usual inconvenience and vexing delays
attendant upon the bare promise of a re-
servation.

We are not quoting the rates of any
of these hotels, but would say briefly that
the first four hotels named appear to be
the higher priced ones. It is difficult these
days to find a good room with bath for
less than $4 to $5 for a single person,
and $6 to $8 for room with bath for two
persons.

Wm. J. Johnston is chairman of the
Hotel Reservations Committee, with ad-
dress at 223 W. Madison St., Baltimore,
Md. He is ready at all times to make
reservations and answer questions regard-
ing service.

Prominent Features for Discussion

These will be with reference to the
new proposed plan for the institution of
a clearing house, and also the proposed
plan for organizing members into dis-
tricts units wherever practical to do so.
Because of the fact that all members
cannot attend the business meeting at
Baltimore, and in order to guide those
members who do attend to vote intelli-
gently on these propositions, a post card
questionnaire has been mailed out on
which each absentee is requested to rec-
ord his vote (either yes or no) on the
two above designated questions, and to
mail the card to the secretary's office
well in advance of the meeting.

mention in the municipal contest for win-
dow displays. The fact that W. J. Van-
ston (who is director of public safety of
Scranton, as well as a member of the
firm) was one of the judges of the con-
test, eliminated this window from actual
participation in the contest for the regu-
lar prizes.

As shown in the picture, the front of the
window was furnished with rocks, ferns
and a pond of Water Lilies. At the right,
showing through the ferns, were hun-
dreds of Asters in purple and white, the
Elks colors. Purple and white ribbon
was also used in appropriate places. In
the background the words "Justice" and
"Charity" made of red, white and blue
Cape flowers showed up prominently, as
did also an American flag, made of the
same material. A real flag of silk was
draped across the entire window.

Mr. Vanston's automobile, illustrated
on this page, took second prize in the
parade for decorated motor cars. Purple
and white Dahlias, wild Smilax and red,
white and blue Cape Flowers were used
to produce the striking effects shown.

The decorations in the case of both
the window and the car were done by F.
J. Moran, Mr. Vanston's partner.

Trade Notes

The most encouraging event in the
flower business this week was a heavy
rain, which began late Friday night, Sept..
8, and continued all next day. It means
that the life of the Dahlia crop is as-
sured. The long stretch of hot weather
in August parched the outdoor flowers.
Whereas Dahlias should have been good
and plentiful, practically all those cut of
late nave been short stemmed. Dahlias
have been selling at $1 and $1.50 per doz.
up to this time. Asters are just about
finished, as are the Gladioli.

The first California Chrysanthemums
are on the market, looking fairly well.
They are selling at $8 and $10 per doz.
No delay was experienced through strike
difficulties in getting the flowers to Kansas
City. Roses are plentiful, although they
have not been in great demand because of
the extremely hot weather. Dealers ex-
pect that business will pick up about the
middle of the month, when vacationists
have returned and when the weather is
sufficiently cool to keep people at home.
With the opening of school, social events
will begin, and flowers will be in demand
for decoration.

Flowers look well at the St. Mary's
greenhouse, according to Mrs. H. C.
Pfeiffer. It has taken a good deal of hard
work to keep them looking that way dur-
ing the recent hot weather. The 3000
Chrysanthemum plants which this house
is growing look fine. In two or three
weeks bulbs will be planted. St. Mary's
greenhouse, which is located across the
street from the cemetery by that name,
does an unusual trade. The retail shop
does business all the time, regardless of
the season, says Mrs. Pfeiffer.

This concern is not worried about the
coal situation. It has its principal sup-
ply for Winter on hand already, and
unless the city suffers from unusually cold
weather, no difficulty will be experienced.
Growers will have plenty of coal, but they
will have to pay for it, says this woman
florist, who feels, too, that flowers should
not be any higher in price this season than
they were last season. An adjustment
period is here, and the only way in which
conditions can be righted is for the florists
as well as those engaged in other busi-
nesses to stand part of the expense neces-
sary before normal conditions can be
achieved. The St. Mary's greenhouse has
experienced no difficulty in getting flowers
because of the strike. Shipments have not
been delayed to any extent it is the ex-
perience of this house.

Two Stories

Two retail florists in the central busi-
ness district, whose stores adjoin, report
contradictory conditions. One of them
says demand is slow, a condition which he
expects to continue until October, when
Fall Aveddings will increase consumption.
His neighbor has seldom been more ac-
tive. Much of the latter's current busi-
ness is attributed to an advertising in-
novation in a large cash and carry bunch
of flowers, designed to sell at cost. Un-
usually good growing conditions this Sum-
mer provided a large crop of all flowers.

Flowers Rented for Dinner Table

A brand new business has come to town.
It is flower renting. When a dinner party
is being given, the hostess can go down
the block and rent gorgeous flowers for
the table.

These flowers, obtained at the "hole in
the wall" flower shop, are put up in such
a manner that they can be placed back on
display and redisposed of readily.

The hostess advises the dealer what
time her guests are expected to depart
and soon afterward he comes for his flow-
ers. They are rushed back to the shop
and put through certain paces which
makes them seem as fresh as when picked.
Sometimes the same bouquets grace five
or six tables before they nod their heads
in wilted sleep.

The housewife finds it much cheaper to
rent flowers for a few dollars than to buy
them and the dealer who rents out the
same bouquet five times at $2 a time
realizes more than had he sold them. —

Trade Notes

Sept. 5. — Business seems to be
gradually picking up, and everyone is op-
timistic as to what the future will bring.
Fortunately, at present, neither railway
nor coal strike seems to be having any
detrimental effect on the local trade. Some
interference in distant out of city ship-
ments is, however, taking place. Bryan
Hammond of the local wholesalers reports
that the demand for shipments of green-
ery, especially ferns, continues heavy from
mid-western points. The demand for
Roses is also brisk and altogether out of
town business is very good. Asters, Zin-
nias and African Marigolds of fine quality
are plentiful.

It remains for a Utah corresx^ondent
and customer of the B. Hammond Co. to
initiate a new style of concluding a busi-
ness letter. "Florally thine" was the
expression used. Watch your step, Bry-
an, or maybe Mac is the "thine" referred
to. '

Labor Day falling on a Monday this
year, local florists stores were closed that
day, with the result that today, Tues-
day, many local stores were practically
snowed under with orders for funeral and
decorative work, Rosaia Bros, Woodlawn
Flower Shop, McCoys and the City Floral
all being rushed on this class of work.

A novelty corsage for a fancy costume
party, was designed by Miss Wharton of
the Hollywood Gardens staff last week.
For the center of the bouquet a powder
puff case in coral was used; around this
Cornflowers, Ward Roses, lavender Sweet
Peas, Valley and Maidenhair fern were
arranged in orthodox corsage style. The
shower was the novelty part of the ar-
rangement, consisting of miniature bot-
tles of perfume, lip stick, talcum powder
box, and other necessary articles of a
modern beauty's outfit, each suspended
with narrow jade green ribbon, and the
whole tied with coral ribbon to match
the powder puff box. Bryan Hammond
declared it the, most unique corsage bou-
quet he had ever seen.

Will Holmes is at his old stand on re-
turn from a health renewing- vacation.

Mrs. Paul Rhodium, whose husband has
lately acquired the Sedro-Wooley green-
houses, Sedro-Wooley, Wash., spent last
week at the Hollywood Gardens store,
studying retail business methods and
other matters in connection with the
business.

Eddie Newman of the Park Floral Co.,
Denver, Colo., is a visitor in the city this
week.

J. P. Woodward, Dawson st., Seattle,
who entered the commercial Lily growing
business last Fall, is very confident as
to the future. His seedlings, which were
planted in the greenhouse in January
from Dr. Griffith's strain, and planted di-
rect from the seed flats to the field in
May, planting being completed by May
21, are looking well, and are in many in-
stances showing buds. All are planted in
Dutch beds on the flat, each bed 3ft.
wide, with 18in. paths between rows 8in.
apart. The drawback to this system,
however, is that it entails too much hand
weeding, and the future plantings will be
so arranged that the wheel hoe can be
freely used.

As a side issue to bring more grist to
the mill at the start, perennials are be-
ing grown in quantity for the trade. The
seedling beds at present contain 20,000
Lilium longiflorum, 3000 L. myriophyllum,
2000 Lilium speciosum. This Fall several
other varieties of hardy Lilies will be
added, and from then on J. P. plans to
confine his attention solely to the produc-
tion of various Liliums for the trade.
Friend Woodward is an expert grower and
is familiar with all phases of the busi-
ness. As an apprentice, he was with
James Wright, Nurseryman, Leicester,
En" later with Fisher, Son and Sibray,
of Sheffield, and immediately prior to com-
ing to the U. S. A., was on the staft ot
Fidler & Sons of Reading.

The Blue Lace Flower is getting com-
mon here; it apparently is easily handled
in our climate. Personally I do not see
where it has anything on Scabiosa Cau-
casia when the latter is well grown Is
anyone growing Trachelium, I wonder?
I do not remember having seen it in ttiis
country; years ago I used it freely for
conservatory decoration and cut bloom.

Trade Notes

Sept. 7. — The pulse of business has
already quickened and since Labor Day,
all hands have been busy. The increased
demand for social flowers has apparently
sprung up overnight, and this "Saying it
with Flowers" socially helps get profit-
able totals. The business in August just
past, has been good and, in some cases
a small increase is recorded. The sta-
tistics say that five million dollars is the
increase in business in Portland for the
month of August, over the same month of
the preceding year. Some of us are won-
dering why so small an increase was their
lot in this carnival of apparent pros-
perity. Nevertheless, let it be said that
the signs of the times point to good busi-
ness.

The recent rains have refreshed all
kinds of outdoor flowers, and nothing is
lacking to give the public a grand choice.
The only flower that suffered somewhat,
and that only for a few days while it was
so wet, was the Aster; this flower is
again at its best. The days of flower
shortage in the late Fall are gone, as
now there are many growers who make
a business of supplying Summer flowers
to the shops and, coupling this with their
bulb business, do nothing else. In for-
mer years, all outdoor flowers were the
greenhouse men's side lines and, by this
time of the year, were gone, as inside
stock was after all of the most impor-
tance to the grower so that the rest was
neglected. From the other side, it can
also be said that the demand for flow-
ers in the Summer time has also increased
and the soealled slack time is nearly
taking care of itself.

. The Gladiolus is still enthroned! As-
ters hold second place, and the rest have
the glory equally divided. The Zinnia as
yet is not as popular as a year ago, but
it is predicted that October will again
see them popular unless we have an early
frost. Valley, orchids and Roses have
been in great demand. The new Red Co-
lumbia looks like a winner so far; a red
of this type is what we can stand.

Primrose and Cyclamen have appeared

The return of the vacationist has brought
the fern back on the regular list. Many
of the hotels and other business houses
have been sprucing up with ferns.

News Notes

Henry Kahn of Lents, Ore., has dis-
covered a much dreaded pest called Dod-
der in his Asters. According to hia au-
thority, it has the appearance of Corn
silk, and runs all over the plant, carrying
small greenish flowers, like small beads all
over it. It is a parasite without leaves,
and belongs to the Morning Glory family.
There are many species of this para-
site in the world and is generally found
in the warmer climates. This is the first
time this pest has been seen in this lo-
cality.

Wm. Martin Jr. is at present motoring
in Sunny California with his wife; he
expects to be gone the better part of a
month. Martin & Forbes Co. have com-
menced to cut Roses in earnest and the
quality is improving daily.

The Holden Floral Co. had a very fine
display of floral art in the form of a
flower embroidered table covering all
worked in Pansies. The four corners were
all worked in butterflies and the center
had a large ring of yellow Pansies centered
with the blue Lord Beaconsfield. This
piece of exquisite work was much ad-
mired. Both Julius Schnapp and his
daughter seem reticent to take the hon-
or, but from the looks of things, it was
the lady's fingers who did this work.

Tommy Luke has returned from his
vacation and, he says, just in time, as
business is fine. Tommy looks and feels
great.

The bowlers will start Fall training
within a week and expect to turn out a
first rate team to redeem the games
dropped to Seattle and Taeoma last June.

The Tonseth Floral Co. and Lubliners
are the first to show California 'Mums so
far this season and in face of the excel-
lent supply of local flowers, it seems an
extravagance. The imported 'Mum will
play an important part in the business of
this season, as the local supply is con-
siderably augmented by the additional
glass planted to them. Let's hope that
"Home Products First" will be a slogan
the retail trade will live up to.

The Wilson Crant Gehr Co. are cutting
some fair Golden Glow and Frank New-
rocki will soon be on the market with
Early Frost. These do not come up to
the shipped in 'Mums, but will answer for
some time to come. H. N".

[The Dodder is more or less a common
pest and is more apt to attack field crops
than where cultivation is frequent.]

Columbus, 0. — James McKellar has
leased a space in the new Deshler Hotel,
where he will open a new and up to the
minute flower store. There will be a large
refrigeration department connected with
the hotel refrigeration system. The dis-
play cases are already installed.

During the past week there has been
an improvement in business; just as good
as can be expected considering the heat
wave that has been prevalent here. There
was some relief after local thunderstorms
Saturday evening.

There is an abundance of good stock on
the market, headed by Asters and Gla-
dioli. Dahlias, Zinnias and a few early
Carnations are to be had with short
stems.

Roses are plentiful but quality is poor
owing to the intense heat. Orchids are
again available in the form of Cattleya,
Labiata, C. bowringiana and Oncidium
varieosum.

Mr. and Mrs. Wm. J. Vesey have just
returned from an extensive motor tour
East.

Ralph Rothacker of the Horticultural
Dept. of Iowa State Agricultural Col-
lege at Ames, la., was a very interesting
visitor in this city the past week.

Trade Notes

This week Buffalo trade ha9 in-
creased wonderfully. Business being so
good, relieves wholesale houses of abund-
ant overstock. Gladioli quite scarce, As-
ters not so plentiful, but very pretty va-
rieties; some Comet forms are almost as
good as Chrysanthemums. Carnations
are very scarce. Orchids are off crop en-
tirely.

Weddings are numerous; some of them
are gorgeous affairs, some of less gran-
deur, simple, but very beautiful set off with
bouquets and church decorations.

Stores in general look pretty these days,
but all will welcome the flower of flowers
— Chrysanthemum. Her return is ex-
pected any day. We have had call for
them already, rather early.

Lily of the Valley is very fine, but
scarce. Garden flowers, including Cos-
mos, Bachelor Buttons, Gypsophila,
Stock, etc.

The weather here is very hot. This is
the eleventh week of the street car strike,
which makes it bad for our out of town
florist friends. Nevertheless, several
have stayed in Buffalo and really seemed
to enjoy it.

News Notes

Many Buffalo florists are in Syra-
cuse tonight to stay for the week's won-
derful fair. Hope many return; with
prizes, as they surely spent time and ef-
forts in preparing their decorations.

The S. A. Anderson employers on Aug.
30 spent a wonderful day at their em-
ployer's Summer cottage at Lotus Bay.
Many games were played by girls and
boys; outdoor dinner and all around had
a good time. Mr. Anderson enjoys see-
ing them all happy. His Summer home
being at a very choice location affords
more pleasure than usual.

Miss Beulah Slattery of Palmer's, also
Miss Mary D'Arcy, have gone to the
Syracuse Fair. E. A. Slattery being out
of town on an extended vacation, could
not join.

Wm. Mark Palmer returns today from
vacation at Lake of Bays, Canada, since
latter part of June.

Edward Walther and Jim Longley of
Palmer's Delaware store, are planning a
fishing and hunting trip, soon to be en-
joyed. Both are very fond of these sports.

Mr. Dunlop, Jr., of Toronto, Canada,
visited Buffalo last week; also George
McCallem of the Pittsburgh house vis-
ited his Buffalo branch store. Seemed
rather pleased. The Buffalo store is do-
ing splendid business. Many new smaller
shops patronize wholesale houses, es-
pecially those who have no greenhouses.
This is one of many reasons why Buf-
falo should welcome good wholesale de-
pots.

The W. F. Kasting Co. is not heavily
stocked just now; business has increased
over surplus. No Carnations nor many
Roses; garden flowers, etc., plentiful
enough.

Both wholesalers and retailers of Buf-
falo are being well patronized these early
Fall days. R. B.

News Items

There has been a good demand for
flowers the past week, as a number of
people have died. AH florists had their
share of funeral work. Gladioli are
getting less every day ; Asters are not
very much in demand, as most people
have them, so we all are looking for-
ward for the 'Mum season to start.

The writer had an interesting inter-
view with W. M. Purdy, instructor and
head gardener at the N. T. State Refor-

What About the Presidency?

One candidate for the presidency of
the F. T. D. A. has already been men-
tioned by a contemporary— against his
knowledge and perhaps against his will-
but for all that, this nomination sounds
good. The candidate in question is Chas.
Grakelow of Philadelphia, well and favor-
ably known by all, and who, by the way,
is due to return from Europe on Sept. 17.

The Market

Sept. 12.— The arrivals of staple
items of stock grown under glass are only
moderately large this week, but on the
other hand, those of outdoor grown stock
are extremely heavy. Since Friday of
last week there has been a considerable
increase in the demand for the former, and
also some increase in the demand for
the latter, but not enough increase in the
demand for this latter to anywhere near
absorb the supply, the result being that
much of the latter is unsold and goes to
waste. Prices on most kinds of staple
greenhouse stocks are firm, and in some
cases show a slight advance.

American Beauty Roses are in some-
what smaller supply. Special grade
blooms are selling for 15e. to 40c. each;
other grades at proportionate prices.
Other Roses are in moderate supply and
prices, on account of a somewhat more
active demand for these as well as Ameri-
can Beauty, are firmer and a little high-
er. Top grade blooms are bringing 6e. to
10c. each in general with Crusader real-
izing 12c. and Key 30c. No. 2 grade
blooms are fetching $1 to $1.50 and, in the
case of Double White Killarney, $2 per
hundred.

The supply of Carnations is steadily
* increasing, as the quality of the blooms
improves. They are meeting with a
medium demand at $1 to $3 per 100 cov-
ering all grades.

Cattleyas are in somewhat larger sup-
ply. The demand is moderate and prices
remain about the same as last week, name-
ly 50c. to $1.50 each. Gardenias are
meeting with a moderate demand at 75c
to $2 per doz. The supply of Lily of the
Valley is not overlarge and prices remain
firm at $5 to $10 per 100. Longiflorum
.Lines show a considerable advance in
price, and bring $15 to $20 per 100. But
album and rub rum Lilies are the same
as last week, only $5 to $6 per 100.

The arrivals of Chrysanthemums are
as yet small, being confined mostly to the
varieties Golden Glow and Smith's Ad-
vance. The demand appears to absorb
the supply at prices ranging from $1.50
to $3 per doz.

We have spoken of the large supply of
outdoor grown miscellaneous flowers. We
will name a fairly complete list of these
with prices at which they are selling to-
day, but we wish to emphasize the fact
that only a part of these flowers sells at
these prices, and that often a majority of
these arrivals go to waste: Tritoma, $1
to $1.50 per 100; Gypsophila, 5c. to 8c
a bunch; Feverfew, 8c. to 10c. a bunch;
Eschscholtzia, $1 per 100; Zinnias, 5c
to 8c. a bunch; Marigolds, 10c. to 12c.
a bunch; Cosmos, which mostly goes to
waste, 5c. a bunch; Conoelinium (Eupa-
torium) 15c. to 25c. a bunch; Tuberose,
SI a doz. spikes; Helianthus, 10c. a bunch
mostly goes to waste; Celosia, meeting
with little sale, at 8c. to 10c. a bunch;
Physahs, $1 a dozen sprays; Hydrangea,
50c. a doz. sprays; Snapdragon, 35c. to
50e. a doz. sprays.

Of the indoor grown greens, Smilax
shows a considerable advance in demand
and price, the latter ranging from $1
to $2 per doz. strings. There is also a
little better demand for all kinds of in-
door and outdoor grown tender greens and
for hardy greens.

Thos. F. Galvin, Inc., florists, have re-
ceived from Lieberman Bros., $100,000 for
their lease of the property at 561 Fifth

ave., southeast corner of 46th St., owned
by the widow of Thomas F. Byrnes, one
time chief inspector of the New York Po-
lice Department, and held under lease by
the Oceanic Investing Co. As part of the
deal the florists will have a store in the
46th st. end of the property rent free
for the balance of their lease, which has
about ten years to run.

From Paterson. N. J., comes the news
that Samuel Berkowitz, Jr., will open a
retail flower store there at 105 Broadway,
about Sept. 30, under the business name
of The Broadway Florist. The partners
in this business are Mr. Berkowitz and
May E. Adler.

The Flower Business Improving

The flower business, which has been
in pretty feeble health during July and
August, owing to the absence of so many
families from the city, is slowly conva-
lescing, and from present indications its
complete recovery may be expected by
mid-October. An unusual number of Sep-
tember weddings are helping the business,
not so much by orders for large house or
church floral decorations as for bouqiiet
outfits for quiet weddings. Some social
affairs, not of the larger kind, a few
steamer orders, and the usual number of
orders for funerals, are keeping the retail
florists fairlv busy for September.

A. M. Scheider of Max Schlina, Inc.,
and Mrs. Scheider have returned from a
six weeks'' vacation, a considerable part of
which they spent abroad, visiting London,
Vienna, Paris and several parts of Switz-
erland. Max Schling is still on his va-
cation. At the store at 785 Fifth ave.
the_ employees are nearly all back from
their vacations, among them Harry Lewey,
well tanned and proudlv showing a photo
of _ a string of fish. The office force are
fairly busy with bouquet outfits for Sep-
tember weddings and other orders.

A: T. Bunyard, Madison ave., at 48th st.,
is back from his Summer vacation, which
he and his family have been spending at
Newport. R. I., and is looking fit to face
the vear's business and to give the usual
excellent service for which he is noted,
both to in town and out of town patrons.
Extensive store changes have been com-
pleted, including a "tread! ite" floor, full
mirror sides and other improvements
which, as Mr. Bunyard well said during
our recent call, will change his quarters
from a mere store to a real fully equipped
"flower shop."

At Harry Ramm's, Madison ave. at 48th
St., the store interior when we called last
week looked as if a tornado had struck it,
but we could even in the wreck of it see
that when the tornado effect was removed,
with the renovations and changes under
way, Ramm's Flower Shop would be better
equipped^ than ever before for rendering
full service.

H. G. Pern", manager for Dards, Madi-
son ave. at 44th st., is expected to return
about Sent. 15 with his family, with whom
he has been spending his vacation, at
North Scituate, Mass. Anthony Weiss
has already returned from the second in-
stallment of his vacation, which he spent
touring with friends, in his auto in the
White Mountains. The store force when
we called were busy with funeral work

however, to show us some of the novelties

many of Charles Henry Fox's creations,
namely, a "Pillow Basket;" a "Bouton-
niere Holder;" a 'Blue Bird Box," im-
proved, having a full baby equipment; the
National Novelty Flower Vase," much
used in luncheon and dinner decorations
and for prizes, furnished with a fastening
which allows it to be secured in place
almost anywhere. Besides these there
were "Vamps," carrying flower vases of
several forms; a full line of imported
"Imperial ware;" new ombre "Horty" rib-
bon in 32 color combinations; bowl center-
pieces to take the place of "frogs." This
company's New York branch now finds
it necessary to have two delivery cars
on the street, and keeps in close connec-
tion with the Philadelphia house by auto
truck daily.

We noted the large auto truck of the
Yonkers Nursery Co. in town last week,
well loaded with large specimen ever-
greens which were being delivered for
adorning hotels and other buildings. We
were informed by the man in charge of
the deliveries that business in this and
other lines was good.

Among the greens in the market, some
old and others comparatively new, we
noted this week at J. K. Allen's, 43 W.
18th St., of the latter those fragrant old
timers Rose Geranium and Lemon Ver-
bena sprays, and of the former fronds of
the so-called Arizona Palm, which has be-
come quite popular the last few years with
florists, taking the place of the fronds
of Cycas and of palms to a considerable
degree in floral make ups.

William Sullivan has ioined the sales
force of J. S. Fenrich, 43 W. 18th st.,
and Mr. Fenrich has taken personal charge
of sales in the Rose department.

H. E. Froment, 43 W. 18th st, has re-
turned from his vacation of several weeks,
spent at Lake Placid, Lake Saranac and
other places in the Adirondacks. He re-
ports beautiful and cool weather during
his entire vacation, which he passed en-
.ioyably, dividing his time between walk-
ing, motoring, sailing and rowing. Mr.
Froment is a good pedestrian and oarsman,
as well as one of the largest and perhaps
the largest receiver of Roses in this city.

Miss Katherine Deasy, bookkeeper for
M. C. Ford, 43 W. 18th st., is passing her
annual vacation in Pennsylvania.

A friend presented James Rutig & Co.
with a large basket of American Beauty
Roses at the opening of their wholesale
store at 43 W. 18th St., at which opening
Mr. Rutig's father and sister were present.
Miss Jennie Silagi is bookkeeper for this
new company. We noted at this store this
week arrivals of fine Lilies, Asters and
Snapdragons.

TJtica, N. Y. — Linn A. Smith, a well-
known florist at Greene, N. Y, was mar-
ried here on Sept. 4 to Miss Cora L. An-
gell of Greene. They are visiting Thou-
sand Islands for their honeymoon.

The Market

Sept. 12. — September finds the
market well supplied with flowers, even
Chrysanthemum arrivals are noted but,
as yet, in limited quantities. Golden
Glow is the variety. Gladioli consign-
ments are slowly, but surely on the
wane. Asters in the smaller grades are
in oversupply ; Dahlias are arriving in
fine shape and the specialists are ship-
ping some high grade show flowers.

New crop Carnations are with us, but
the demand is light. Plenty of short
stemmed Roses to be had ; Cattleyas are
practically out of this market, and there
is little call for Valley. Easter Lilies
enough for the average business each
day. There are considerable quantities
of outdoor flowers, such as Celosia, Mari-
golds, Zinnias, Gypsophila, Buddleia and
Hydrangea, but prices are very low. All
the retail stores report a slight increase
of business as their customers are re- >
turning home from their visits to the
mountain and seaside resorts.

The Market

Sept. 12. — Owing to intense heat
the past week there was not much doing
on the wholesale cut flower market. The
shipping was light and outside of fu-
neral work, there was but little activity
locally. There was a heavy downpour of
rain all day Sunday and through the
night that brought a welcome change in
the atmosphere. It put new life into the
opening market this week.

It is believed before the end of the
week business will have again assumed
a normal basis. The turning point has
come when greenhouse grown flowers will
take the place of Gladioli and Asters.
While there are a good many of these
to be had as yet, their season is practi-
cally off as leaders in the point of sup-
ply. The Rose crops are coming in more
plentifully and Carnations have shown
a marked improvement and a correspond-
ing increase in quality. The early
Chrysanthemums also are beginning to
come in.

There was a let up on the consign-
ments of the California 'Mums the past
week owing to great heat ; shippers were
notified to go lightly. Now that more
desirable weather for shipping has come,
it is believed there will be a large sup-
ply of these for the next few weeks.
Local growers are cutting some good
October Frost and other of the second
earlies will follow in quick succession.

The heat was unfavorable to the late
Gladioli crops. It brought them into
bloom prematurely causing the spikes to
be smaller than when grown under or-
dinary conditions. This is responsible
for the large amount of poor stock there
is being offered this week. The novelties
have also passed for the season ; only
the standard varieties such as Chicago
White, King, America, Panama and Mrs.
Pendleton are now offered.

A feature of the market the past week
were Celosia chrysanthaflora ; these are
wonderful in point of size. They are both
plumed and the globe shape ; some are
remarkable for their odd and grotesque
formations. Some are monstrosities, and
not all are bright colored, some being
dull and incipient shades, having little
charm apart from their peculiar forma-
tion. As a novelty, however, they are
meeting with ready sales and retailers
are featuring them in their window dis-
plays to a considerable extent. The globe
varieties are selling at §2 per doz. ; the
plume varieties make §1 per bunch of
from 12 to 15 sprays.

There is still a shortage of both Val-
ley and orchids ; there is enough of Eas-
ter Lilies. Greens, in general, are in
good supply and there is an increased
demand for wild Smilax and Boxwood
from florists who desire to stock up for
Fall trade.

News Notes

Ernst Rober, formerly of Wil-
mette, 111., is in the city on a business
trip. He is now located at Los Angeles.
Calif, where he has built up a good busi-
ness making a specialty of Geraniums.
These he propagates in frames and sells
at wholesale all over the Pacific Coast.

C. L. Shearer,, for several years past
connected with the Chicago Flower
Growers Association, has disconnected
himself from that association to assume
a similar one with the John Kruchten
Co.

Joe Tuckis, Rock Island, was in the
city Monday, hunting up material for a
large store opening. Geo. Kranz, Musca-
tine, and Emil Kranz of Ottumwa, la.,
were visitors the past week combining
business with pleasure.

Since the name of "Choromokes" is
difficult to pronounce L. and J. Choro-
mokes, proprietors of a cut flower store
at 76 W. Washington St., have changed
the name of their place of business to
the Athenia Florists. To commemorate

McCallum's are ready

are you

Our salesmen are now on the road with the finest Fall line we've
ever offered — and at prices extremely reasonable. The strikes are
practically over — everybody agrees that we are ready for a fine
period of prosperity. This means business — big business — for those
ready to go after it. We're ready — are you ?

Prices Going Up — Order Early

This isn't a stereotyped cry — but an actual fact! The unsettled
conditions have helped to cause scarcity of materials and the sud-
den change for the better has thrown prices upward — fortify your-
self against such advances as must be made in our line by ordering
NOW!

137 Seventh Street, PITTSBURGH

the notable change in name, an invita-
tion was published in the local papers,
inviting the public to call and get a
Rose. Twenty thousand Roses were given
away on that day to visitors.

Walter Hamilton, of the Madson
Floral Co., Manitowoc, Wis., came down
Mondaj- for a few days' shopping. This
is his first visit since the seed trade con-
vention in June. He brought with him
a sample lot of Asters they are cutting ;
all splendid stock including white, pink,
purple and red. There is also a yellow
variety that is commanding much atten-
tion.

The promoters having the matter in
charge of getting a new location for the
wholesale cut Bower market have re-
ported that there is a location obtainable
on W. Lake st. and Jefferson. This will
necessitate the getting together of the
committee to look over the proposed site
and go into further particulars with the
promoters. Eric Johnson, John Michel-
sen, Paul Klingsporn. August Poehl-
mann and Joseph Foerster compose the
committee to represent the wholesalers.

Frank Kenyon, well known to the trade
from his connection with the Poehlmann
Bros. Co., as salesman in the supply de-
partment, is now with the Union Petro-
leum Co. In the crisis that beset the
florists in some sections owing to coal
shortage, he is called on to give consider-
able information relative to oil burners
and the use of crude oil as a fuel for
greenhouse heating.

Chicago friends of Sam Seligman, are
glad to hear that he is back again in the
florists' supply trade. Sam has many
friends in the trade in Chicago who wish
him unbounded success in his new connec-
tion.

The Hilmer V. Swenson Co. are well es-
tablished in their new home in the Boyce

Building on N. Dearborn st. As secre-
tary of the Allied Florists Association of
Illinois, Mr. Swenson states that plans
are already laid for a strong campaign of
advertising this Fall for the general good
of the trade. This company is already
boosting for the F. T. D. convention in
Baltimore next month.

The matter of holding the. next meet-
ing of the Chicago Florists Club at Niles
Center in having the consideration of the
officers and good of the club committee.
This will give the members an opportunity
to inspect the greenhouses of Stielow
Brothers, one of the largest establishments
in this section using crude oil as fuel.
Representatives from the manufacturers
of fuel oil burners have agreed to be on
hand to address the meeting and answer
any questions regarding heating with oil
the florists may feel disposed to ask.

Mary Gage Peterson, mother of William
A. Peterson, owner of the Peterson Nur-
sery, died Sept. 7 at the Bethany Girls
Home, where she had made her home for
the past few months. Mrs. Peterson was
widely known for her philanthropic and
religious activities. She was active in
starting the School for Domestic Science
in Chicago and the Chicago College Club,
and was chairman of forestry in the Gen-
eral Federation of Women's Clubs, her
later interests having been largely cen-
tered in the Bethany Girl's movement in
Chicago. She was 78 years of age.

Montreal, Que.

Some of the best Asters ever grown
around Montreal are to be seen in the flo-
rists windows. The season has been ideal
for this flower. No so with the Sweet
Peas which have been almost a failure for
some reason.

Speaking of florists' windows, one en-
terprising firm decorated their store win-
dow in honor of horse racing events. We
will call it the Blue Bonnet's window, as
those races were on the tapis when this
very unique window was on display. Some
of the other florists' windows were attrac-
tively arranged also. Large quantities
of Gladioli with plants and greenery lend
themselves suitably for this important
part of the florists business.

A Society Wedding

Dan Cupid, the little fellow always
depicted with the bow and the fatal shaft,
is again in evidence and the first society ■
wedding took place during the past week,
when Miss Margaret Duggan, daughter of
Mi-, and Mrs. Duggan of Montreal was
married to the Hon. Adrian Knatehbull-
Hugesson, youngest son of the late Lord
Brabourne and of Ethel Lady Brabourne
of Cheyne Walk, London, England. Christ
Church Cathedral, where the nuptial knot
was tied, was nicely decorated for the
event, Ley & McAllan, Ltd., being en-
trusted with the entire work. Large
quantities of yellow and pink Gladioli,
Delphiniums and Autumn flowers, palms
and ferns were used. The pews were
also decorated with yellow Gladioli, tied
with pink ribbon. The bouquets, both
for the bride and bridesmaids, were
lovely. Mr. Ley is a past master at this
kind of work.

The season for the horticultural shows
is over. St. Lambert, which had the best
in its history, St. Anns, Montreal West,
where they are all gardeners, and the last,
but not the least, the Ahunsic display
also brought the best vegetables ajnd
flowers ever put up for show. The money
the Prov. Government votes to these so-
cieties is well spent. Mount Royal.

News Notes

Our genial friend and salesman, Ed-
ward E. Rogean, received a royal wel-
come from the boys in the Flower Ex-
change Market, when he made his first
appearance after an absence of five weeks,
spent in a hospital in St. John, N. B.,
where they sewed up an awful cut in
his right leg with seventeen stitches after
he had met with an automobile accident,
just after reaching the city on his vaca-
tion trip. Although Mr. Rogean still has
to make use of a crutch, he expects to
be able to get around just as good as
ever. George Noyes, who occupies the
neighboring stall and who attended to
Mr. Rogean's business during the latter's
absence, almost turned a handspring for
joy when Ed. made his presence knowrn
with a hearty "Hello, George, how's things
coming?"

Since the first of this month, it is six
full days work for the salesmen in the

flower markets. No more half holiday
on Saturday afternoons.

The engagement is announced of Ralph
Silvey and Miss Edith Backer of Somer-
ville. Mr. Silvey is the right hand man
of Nathan Langerman, who runs a flower
store in the new Kresge building.

To keep properly trimmed and season-
ably decorated the dozen or so of the
immense show windows in Boston's largest
department store is a man's sized job at
any time. Mark J. MacCormack, the
window trimmer and decorator, has solved
many a ticklish problem in his line but
probably has never shown before what his
artistic sense and skillful hand can ac-
complish, as on the occasion of Filene's
tenth anniversary of the opening of the
store on Washington and Winter sts. Mr.
MacCormack took advantage of the
abundance of beautiful Gladioli to enhance
the charm of the dressmakers' latest cre-
ations and he used the flowers at his dis-
posal in greatest profusion. Great banks
of appropriately tinted spikes of Gla-
dioli wrere in perfect harmony with the
wondrous display of milady's fashionable
dresses, wraps and dainty accessories.
There was not one jarring note in the
symphony of colors. These decorations
showed what a wide range of color com-
binations Gladioli flowers are adapted
for if a master hand makes use of their
possibilities. Two of the show windows
were adorned with five foot antique urns,
each holding several dozen American
Beauty Roses. Mr. MacCormack may feel
justly proud of the numerous favorable
comments which his handiwork evoked.
For the decorations on the sixth floor of
the mammoth department store, and es-
pecially in the restaurant and the ladies'
parlors, a great number of Gladioli, Roses
and Dahlias were used daily.

John Fee, Jamaica Plains, is sending to
his salesman, Moe Liebman, at the Flow-
er Exchange Market, excellently grown
blooms of Lilium formosum with long and
strong stems.

At the Patten Greenhouses

Harold Patten, (Patten & Co.,)
Tewksbury, Mass., has almost entirely re-
covered from the injuries received through
a fall in the greenhouses, whereby he
broke and fractured several ribs. In his
greenhouses, the newly planted Carna-
tions are in excellent condition, and so
are several large beds of Godfrey Callas,
planted in the solid ground. The whole
of the big establishment is now planted
in solid beds, with the exception of one
house and all the beds have concrete
walls. The latest addition, a 350ft.x50ft.
King house, is finished and planted, and
contains about one dozen of the latest in-
troductions and several varieties which
are on trial, although not yet given to the
trade. The new pink Carnation, Natalie,
occupies many beds and is showing up in
wonderfully fine condition in every way.
Just as good is the white, Thomas C. Joy.
A complete system of electric lighting
has been installed in every part of the
big establishment; greenhouses, propagat-
ing houses, office, workrooms, boiler room
and all. This work was finished some
two weeks ago and, on Aug. 31, Mr. and
Mrs. Harold Patten played host to a
party of invited friends from out of town
and from nearby who were given the op-
portunity to inspect and admire the new
illumination. The occasion became a mat-
ter of lively enjoyment and practical fun
when all those present got ready to par-
ticipate in a "stringing-up" bee and tied
up five long beds of Carnations in one
hour. Many hands made short work and,
besides, did the job well. Refreshments,
music and dancing followed the exertion.
During a little speech Colby T. Kittredge,
who installed the lighting system, pre-
sented Mr. Patten with a suitable gift
from the employees of the firm. Out-
standing numbers on the entertainment
program were the prize dancing by Miss
Mildred Millett, Miss E. Livingston, Miss
V. Pinkos and A. Pillsbury, and the im-
personation of the present day flapper by
H. Livingston, who, by the way, only
measures six feet, eight inches and is al-
most half as fat as a bean pole.

The list of invited guests, all of whom
are florists, included Mr. and Mrs. Walter
Morse of Lowell; Mr. and Mrs. Peter
Fisher of Norwood, George E. Buxton
and W. Powers of Nashua, N. H.; Mr.
Kimball, the manager of the Buxton green-
houses at Nashua, N. H., and Mr Gege,
one of the growers. An enjoyable fea-
ture of the affair was the arrival of Mrs.
M A. Patten, who returned from a trip

to England just in time to witness, the
turning on of the lighting system in the
greenhouses.

C. Lowther, advertising manager of The
Florists Exchange, during a few days'
stay in Boston, called on the trade and
was an interested visitor at the Dahlia
show of the New England Dahlia Society.
From remarks which he let fall, he con-
siders Boston to have it all over New
York in the matter of some few important
things, outstanding among which he men-
tions the fact that, no matter which way
you follow a street, you are sure to land
where you did not intend to and that by
using the subway, elevated and surface
system you are sure to change cars at least
four times to get three miles.

The report of the Dahlia exhibition of
the Dahlia Society of New England was
unavoidably delayed for the present issue
and will follow next week.

Penn News

Henry Penn has just returned
from Jamaica Camps, Belgrade Lakes,
where, he says, he has enjoyed a vacation
as never before. It was one complete rest
of 30 days, with plenty of fishing thrown
in, and Mr. Penn is more than a little bit
fond of this recreation. Since his re-
turn, he has occupied his new residence
at 41 Winslow rd., Brookline.

Miss Susie Duwan, Duncan Robinson,
Wm. Garden and John Reehal are all back
on duty again art 124 Tremont St. after very
pleasant vacation trips in various parts of
the country. Since returning from their va-
cations these and the other members of
Penn's staff have adopted the slogan,
"Go Get 'em!" and are certainly living
up to it.

The firm received two first prizes at
the North Shore Horticultural Society
recently, one for table decoration, and an-
other for basket decoration. Spiras
Kefalas, decorator, was personally re-
sponsible for this.

One of the largest social events was the
wedding at Beverly Farms, Mass., of Miss
Alice Harding of Washington, and Rob-
ert Thompson Pell of New York on Sept.
7. Penn, the Florist, had the decoration
of both church and home, under the per-
sonal direction of Fred Maxwell. Palms,
Bay trees, hardy Hydrangeas, Gladioli
and Roses were used to make the place
a veritable fairyland. The bridal bouquet
was exquisite — one large bunch of Bou-
vardia. There were six arm bouquets for
the bridesmaids of orchids and Delphi-
nium, and several corsages of orchids, be-
sides 14 boutonnieres of Gardenias for
the ushers.

Illustrations elsewhere in this issue
show part of Penn's activities in connec-
tion with the recent funeral of William
Wood, Jr., of the American Woolen Co.
There were five truck loads of flowers
sent by this firm, comprising about 150
pieces, costing from $10 to $200 each.

Hartford, Conn.

General Notes

Sept. 11. — Business conditions in
this locality do not bring much change
in the market, although there is a fair
demand with possibly a slight decrease in
stock. However, with the vacation sea-
son gradually coming to an end, we all
begin to look for improvement. From all
reports, it has been the most hectic sea-
son for our trade in several years. There
were not the usual number of funerals,
"ana the excessive rains have been a source
of trouble for every grower. They began
in May and do not know how to stop, evi-
dently, for at this writing a terrific down-
pour is in progress.

The Connecticut Horticultural Society
is holding its Autumn flower show at the
Old State House here, Sept. 12-14. This
society is composed of amateurs as well
as commercial men and private estate
gardeners. It is receiving more encour-
agement and enthusiasm than ever before
Practically every retailer in the city will
have an exhibit, owing to the official co-
operation of the Florists Club, which
is an innovation. It is plain to see that
the Carnation Convention mid-Winter
Flower Show last January taught the
Hartford public what pleasure and benefit
they may gain by attendance at floral ex-
hibitions.

From a floral standpoint, we had one
of the largest openings held here in a
long time. The Hartford Trust Company

The Club

The first meeting of the Hartford
Florists Club was held at the City Club
Wednesday evening, Sept. 13. Plans for
the coming season were formulated and
there was a general trade discussion. It
is with great pleasure that we look upon
the decision of the S. A. F. and 0. H. to
visit our city in 1923. We fully realize
the magnitude of this meeting, especially
in a city the size of Hartford when com-
pared with some of the previous conven-
tion cities, but we know our possibilities
and we have seen how the trade papers
can boost for us. So the success of the
convention is inevitable.

Personals

thing being polished and put in order for

The Market

Sept. 11. — The cut flower market
is dull and uninteresting at this writing,
and the prospects are that it will re-
main so for the balance of the week. The
supply of flowers is augmented by the
increasing arrivals of Dahlias. The
Philadelphia market makes the Dahlia
a feature during the month of September
but up to this writing they have been
selling only moderately well. There is
still an overhanging supply of Asters.
The Gladiolus supply shows a sharp de-
dine, but without any price advances.
Easter Lilies have tightened up with a
falling supply. Roses remain plentiful
and cheap, and a new crop of Am.
Beauty is coming in. There is a load of
Larkspur and Cosmos. The few early
'Mums are confined to Smith's Advance
and Golden Glow.

GREENHOUSES

have built up a steadily increasing reputation over a period
of years for rendering that day-in and day-out dependable
service so absolutely necessary for profit in the flower and
vegetable-growing business.

That is why so many of the growers come back to us
year after year with their greenhouse requirements — a testi-
monial to the unvarying quality of King Greenhouses.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating — the proof of
a greenhouse is in the quality, service and profit gained on
the original investment.

A few moments spent now, writing for the bulletins
about King Greenhouses, may pay you a handsome profit
in the future. We'll be glad to send the bulletins imme"
diately upon receiving your letter.

The actuating element of the Stand-

approved as read arid the regular rou-
tine business was carried through. Sec-
retary Patterson reported the insurance
feature of the club, but owing to the lack
of members present, and only 41 postals
being returned, the matter was laid on
the table for action at some future meet-
ing.

The chair entertained a motion by
Robert L. Graham, Jr.. seconded by
Isaac H. Moss, to raise the club dues to
$10 per annum. The motion was carried
and will go into effect next March.

The call for nomination of officers for
the ensuing year, resulted in the follow-
ing men being named, to be voted for
at the regular meeting in October. Rob-
ert W. Patterson, for president ; William
Bauer for vice-president ; Robert Tate
Patterson, cor. sec'y ; Harry L. Wagner,

tin. sec'y; Albert G. Fiedler, treasurer;
Charles M. Wagner, librarian. As the
October meeting will be on the evening
of the 9th, the week of the big F. T. Di
meeting, it was suggested that the club
invite all visitors arriving on Monday to
attend the session and give informal
talks.

Wm. B. McKissick is rushing the in-

Mr. Arnold called our attention to the ridge
sash on this house, which is not ours

Then he pointed to the difference in this one,

which is ours. He said it gave a fair idea of

the difference in the house throughout

Canadian Florists
This Interests You

Richmond Hill, Ontario, as you know, is
fast getting to be one of the rose-growing
centers of Canada. Neighbor to John Dun-
lop & Sons range is the Bedford Park Floral
Co.'s two houses. One is Lord & Burnham
constructed, and the other isn't. Because
they first bought the one that isn't, they
last bought the one that is. There they
are, the two houses side by side, giving a
splendid opportunity for comparison. Mr.
Arnold, who is Vice-President and Manager
of the Company, remarked that:

"The L. & B. house is less than a year
younger than the other. One looks as if

it had been up for years and years, while the
L. & B. house is as fine as the day it was
put up."

Before you decide to build another house
that is not our construction, just take a run
out to Richmond Hill on the trolley from
Toronto, and look these two houses over.
Then step over to the Dunlop range and
hear what they have to say on greenhouse
construction and in whose house it pays to
invest.

Glad to give you any number of names of
owners of our houses to call on or write to
for their opinions.

Butterworth, of Framingham, Mass.,
One of Our Oldest and Youngest Customers

None of us here can remember when
it was that J. T. Butterworth first
became a Hitchings customer. Even
MacArthur, our heating expert, who has
been with us a quar-
ter of a century at
least, says Butterworth
was buying heating
equipment before he
came on the scene. Just
this Spring he bought
from a private estate
that was being settled
this Hitchings curved
end house. He had us
take it down and erect
it as a show house at-
tached to the flower
shop.

As things now stand,
Butterworth himself is
doing a lot of smoking
his pipe and enjoying

life, while his son and daughter do
the rustling. But don't you think for
a minute that "His Nibs" doesn't know
what's going on. Or that as long as he
can walk through his
orchid houses that he
won't do it. Why, man
alive, those orchids are
like folks to him. Real
folks that converse
with him by sign lan-
guage.

This lean-to orchid
greenhous? in the U

>ut doubt, the oldest
next to the one on the Lyman

Estate at Waltham. Mass. That one was built about
130 years ago. This one 74

Strange isn't it that more don't wake up to the sales

value of a show house opening off their flower shop ?

Doesn't take long for them to pay for themselves

If ever you are near
Framingham don't
miss dropping around
to see him. A party
of four who recently
stopped just for a few
minutes to look around,
stayed hour after hour,
and then were peeved
because the day wasn't
longer.

Dear Sirs:

We have been using the Fiber Vases for the past

Twenty-One Years, and, perhaps some may doubt it, but we

still hare one or two Tases doing duty at the present time

that we purchased twenty-one years ago. That was the time

we opened up. Some service, I'll say, for a Fiber Vase, We

find they are muoh more durable than orookery vases, which

get more or less abuse in a retail plaoe.

Yours very truly,
QALLIVAN BROTHERS

djg/lmh

If others can you can

/"\nly the test of time can prove the worth
^^ of a vase. "Fibrotta" florists' vases
bought over 21 years ago are still in use and
going strong. Quality and service are vital
factors in any product — especially so in your
business.

Consider not only the endurance of "Fibrotta"
vases but the other qualities which have created
their large sales.

(1) "Fibrotta" vases give flowers an air of dis-
tinction. They set off the natural beauty of
each variety.

(2) "Fibrotta" vases are obtainable not only
in the natural polished mahogany-like color
—but also if desired may be either green or

white enamel.

(3) "Fibrotta" vases are non-conductors of heat
and cold. Unlike metal vases they keep
water cool. When the flowers are placed in
the refrigerator "Fibrotta" vases prevent

the water from becoming so cold as to chill
the stems.

(4) "Fibrotta" vases are made of seamless fibre.
They cannot rust out, sweat or stain wood-
work.

(5) Cut flowers placed in "Fibrotta" vases last
longer than in metal vases. The rust which
inevitably invades metal vases deposits upon
the stems of the flowers. These naturally wilt
more quickly. Especially is this noticeable
when the flowers are shipped out to customers.

"Fibrotta" saucers for flower pots are also im-
portant. They are light, not easily
broken and cannot mar or discolor
woodwork. You can sell these to
your customers for their own use
at home. Write Cordley & Hayes,
13 Leonard Street,
New York City, for
full information.

More Pointers on Oil Heating

Certain Questions Answered

In the endeavor to settle a hot discussion on oil
heating which arose in the office of The Flokists Ex-
change after going to press last week, letters were
written to two of those of our representatives who
have given considerable time to the study of heating
greenhouses with fuel oil. Among the questions asked
was this one:
The Question

Some of our staff are inclined to the belief that in
your various statements you are not speaking of what
is distinctly known as Mexican fuel oil, which is
' classed as "a heavy, thick, viscous oil, even in warm
-' weather, and in Winter may become solid enough to
support a man's weight. They set up the claim that in
publishing these statements of yours we are mislead-
ing our readers in the stories we are giving them as
to this heating by Mexican fuel oil.

To refute this, tell us whether the various green-
house establishments you have mentioned are burning
kerosene oil, a distillate of the Mexican fuel oil, or
Mexican fuel oil proper.

Further, How is this oil moved from the tank into
the furnace? Is it not an expensive proposition to
put in steam to vaporize it? Can a grower using ho:
water vaporize this fuel without having to install
steam?

Our disputants set up the claim that the use of
Mexican fuel oil is impossible for a florist out in the
country unless he puts in a tank that can be kept
continuously heated and installs as well all the other
necessary items to make the oil run or to vaporize

The Reply

So far as the user of Mexican fuel oil is concerned
it is not a question of whether it can be used at this
or that degree. It is rather a matter of being advised
by the combustion engineer of the company who does
the installing. He will say what sort, grade, or kind
of oil will answer the purpose for which the installa-
tion is made. That the Mexican fuel oil is being
pumped to where it is to be used is certain, for there
are only some few hundred million of barrels used
every year. No installing engineer would advise to
use oil that would not do the business. -Sure Mexican
fuel oil, under certain circumstances, cannot be
pumped or moved without a certain amount of heat
being applied, but this fact has nothing whatever tn
do with the case. Where it is not advisable to use
this kind of oil another kind that will do the trick is
employed. I have seen, with my own eyes, hundreds
of tanks supplying Mexican fuel oil during the most
severe weather and what I see I know.

The grower who contracts with a reputable com-
pany will be advised correctly, not only for his sake
but because the company has to stand behind its own
reputation if it wishes to exist and prosper.

The grower who uses hot water will have to make
provision for heating the oil, maybe, not always.'
Some systems do not require it. And, if he should
have to make this provision, what about it? It be-
longs with the installation, just as the rubber tires
belong with the auto.

It is funny how florists will think nothing of spend-
ing from $1000 to $3000 on an automobile and will
cry to heaven when they are shown how they can
save money every day with oil. That they lose monev
every day with the auto does not seem to faze them
much.

Now, coming to our disputants : They may sincerely
believe there is plenty of this oil that needs lots of
heat to make it flow — but this is not the kind that
the grower is advised to use. The statement on page
597, issue of Sept. 2, is greatly overdrawn, as for in-
stance: I know and visit often greenhouse establish-
ments that have very small storage tanks, holding
not more than two or three weeks' supply; some of
these tanks have been built, so that they can be
heated (steam coils), others are not heated.

The contracts are, naturally, made for as long a
time as the circumstances make advisable and the
company delivers the oil when wanted and never
yet have the companies failed to fulfill their obliga-
tions. When the oil company takes a contract, that
contract, is as good as gold. It will simply not make
a contract which it thinks cannot be made good, nor
will it advise an installation that might become a
boomerang.

_ An installation for burning fuel oil cannot be con-
sidered an expense. It is an investment, like install-
ing a boiler, with this distinction that the coal used
in the boiler makes for money loss, while the oil in-

stallation which replaces coal makes a saving as fig-
ured against the use of coal and is bound to pay for
itself in a certain space of time. No matter how long
the grower burns coal he will never make a saving
as against oil, everything considered.

Some florists out in the country can easily install
oil and others cannot. These men want to ask the
oil engineer; he will tell them every single thing and
they had better make up their mind to believe what
he says, for he knows.

I have gone at length into answering your letter
and hope that I have settled some of the questions.

The questions to and replies from the second au-
thority appealed to are as follows:

Question : In your statement on page '711 you did
not specifically define what oil the various florists'
establishments mentioned were using. We take it lo
be the heavy Mexican oil, and not the lighter grades
of oil.

Answer : The fuel oil referred to was the heavy
Mexican fuel oil, so called 14 deg. to 16 deg. Baume
gravity.

Question : You speak of the oil being pumped
through the regulator and the oil heater on its way
to the burners, but you make no other reference to
any such heater. Just where in the system is this
installed and what is the source of heat? Is it
steamed from the boiler or perhaps coil heated by
electricity ?

Answer : Two kinds of heaters are used on the oil
lines; namely, coil heaters and manifold heaters. The
coil heater is one in which steam or hot water is
taken from the boiler through a jacket ; the oil flows
through the heater in the coil, being heated there-
from. The manifold heater is merely a pipe within a
pipe and works in a similar manner, the steam or hot
water taken from the boiler in the jacket, the oil flow-
ing through the smaller pipe, receiving its heat from
the heating agent.

There is also a little auxiliary electric heater sup-
plied by one company for use on its installations,
which is merely a copper unit installed in the oil line
near the burner, which is used for starting purposes
when the oil is cold. This plugs in and out similarly
to an electric iron and is very efficient and helpful
for heating small quantities of oil when starting.

Question: From our investigations it appears thai
some oil burners are equipped to use only the thin
kerosene-like fuels, which, however, are much niore
expensive than the heavy oils of the Mexican type.
As we understand it, whenever the latter is used,
there has to be some provision made for keeping it
hot, so that it will flow readily.

Answer : It is true that there are some oil burners
which are only equipped to burn light oils and their
operation expense is necessarily high because of the
cost of the light oil over the heavy. Also there is
another important phase in this connection ; namely,
that the heavy oil at equal cost, if such were pos-
sible, contains approximately 35 per cent, more heat
units per volume than the lighter oils.

Oftentimes in the case of heavy oil, steam coils are
run in the tank from the boilers, but this is gradually
being abandoned. Once circulation of oil is gotten ivp
and warm oil is being returned to the tank at the
point of suction, little difficulty from cold oil is ex-
perienced from this time to the end of the heating

More About Practical Oil Burning Devices

Last week I described an oil burning installation
that is giving excellent success in this vicinity. Now
I want to tell you about the system that is used by
the Budlong Rose Co. of 564 Pontiac ave., Auburn.
R. I. Of this, Mr. Frank L. Budlong, II has said:
"We have been using the Hanimel oil burning system
for nearly four years and have found it quite satis-
factory." This is, in my experience, one of the sim-
plest and most reliable equipments and also one of
low equipment cost.

The pumpset in this system is made up of two du-
plex piston type steam driven pumps mounted on drip
pans over the oil heaters. All the necessary piping-
valves and fittings, including the automatic pump
governor, relief valve, pressure gauge and the strain-
ers, are built into one compact unit which is located
in a convenient part of the boiler room whence it
draws the oil from the storage tank and discharges
it properly heated and under correct pressure to
the burners. This pump unit will operate automat-
ically day and night for months at a time, with but
little attention, save the occasional filling of the lu-
bricator with oil.

This burner, which atomizes the oil by steam ac-
tion, is usually installed in front of the boiler and as
low as possible in the ash pit. It will burn any grade

of oil from the lowest asphaltic base type up to kero-
sene. It also has considerable flexibility of capacity.

General Installation Principles

As a general thing, a properly designed furnace is
most important in determining the efficiency and ca-
pacity of any boiler and in securing immunity from
"shut downs." Brick arches, bridges and target walls
are, in my opinion, not only unnecessary, but actually
prevent best results. The usual practice in installing
a heater is to remove the coal burning grates and
the bridge wall ; this may be done in from one to two
days. The piping of the boiler room is simple, in-
volving merely a supply line from the pumpset to
the burners and the return line to the tank with the
necessary steam connections between the steam heater
and the burner pump unit and tank heating coils.

Where installations use low pressure boilers — that
is, less than 30 lbs. of steam — the steam atomizing
burner is hardly suitable, compressed air or an electric
motor being used. Equipment of all these types has
been developed to a point of considerable reliability,
its dependability often being limited only by that of
the electric service and the quality of the engineer
employed in laying out and installing the equipment.

It is of fundamental importance that an oil burner
installation should be undertaken only by experienced
engineers. Considerable damage, interruptions and
serious shutdowns may result if the system is not
properly designed and correctly installed. If I were
asked what kind of establishments can benefit the
most from the installation of oil burning equipment,
I would say those that have a high labor cost in the
boiler room and for the handling of coal and ashes.
With oil, one fireman can operate as many as ten to
fifteen boilers.

Other advantages are: (1) Cleanliness. (2)
Economy of space, since oil can be stored un-
der ground or at a considerable distance from the
boilers and in about 60 per cent of the cubic feet re-
quired by an equal number of heat units in the form
of coal. Furthermore, no space is required in the
boiler room for handling either coal or ashes.

(3) Increased capacity, most boilers being suscep-
tible to operation of 50 per cent greater capacity than
when fired with coal, and at from 10 to 30 per cent
greater capacity when fired by some mechanical stoker.

(4) Smaller stack capacity is required, often
amounting to only 60 per cent of that required by
a coal furnace.

(5) Oil does not deteriorate when stored, whereas
there is often loss and occasionally danger from stored
coal.

(6) The fire may be controlled and either increased
or retarded quickly and with the minimum effort.

(7) Finally, there is a minimum of upkeep expense
in the case of oil burning equipment; furnace repairs
are reduced about 50 per cent, largely because no fir-
ing tools are necessary ; there is no grate repair work
required. The furnace linings also seem to last
longer when heated by an oil flame.

Summing up : If we assume that the consumption
costs of oil and coal are the same, then there are
enough advantages to warrant the installation of an
oil burning equipment in many cases. If, for any
reason, the oil fuel is offered at a relatively lower
price than coal, these advantages rapidly increase
and multiply in extent. Chakles Latham.

More Angles of the Fuel Situation

Seven Cent Oil— $8 Coal

Scouting around a bit I find no florists using oil as
fuel, but plenty of homes are using a burner made
here that creates a blue flame from fuel oil, distillate
or kerosene. This is not well adapted to large boiler
heating, although I am informed that the manufac-
turer is working on a burner adapted for larger
boilers.

I have also found a burner made by the B. H.
Lientz Furnace Co. in use in the T. M. Sinclair pack-
ing plant, under a 350 h.p. boiler, one of eight that
they have in use. This burner uses fuel oil at a cost
of 7c. per gal., which, according to the chief engineer,
compares with coal at about $S per ton. The fuel
is delivered to this burner under 55 lbs. pressure by a
steam pump, and is atomized by a steam jet. From
100 to 150 gal. per hour are consumed.

Provision was made at time of installing the oil
equipment to care for four or five other boilers. This
was some three years ago during another coal short-
age, but the equipment was never unpacked till four
weeks ago, when it was set up and started. It has
not been out since lit and has given no trouble or
annoyance of any kind. It represents a total invest-
ment of about $7000, but is being used only as an
emergency measure.

The oil used costs about 2c. per gal. iu Wyoming,
but the freight charge is 5c. per gal.

National Association of Gardeners

TWELFTH ANNUAL CONVENTION BOSTON, SEPT. 12, 13, 14, 15

A LARGE attendance, desirable weather and un-
bounded enthusiasm made the twelfth conven-
tion of the National Association of Gardeners
a great success. The officers of the association and
the committees which had charge of the arrangements
may rest assured that their labors were well appre-
ciated by all who attended the convention. Over 150
members, representing more than 12 States, attended
the four days' activities and enjoyed every minute of
the time, and the presence of many of the wives, sisters
and daughters of the delegates, contributed much to the
enjoyment of the two days' outings.

The ladies' reception committee, consisting of Mrs.
B. Hammond Tracy, chairman ; Mrs. W. N. Craig,
Mrs. Wm. Anderson, Mrs. Duncan Finlayson, Mrs.
George F. Stewart, Mrs. A. K. Rogers did splendidly
in the administration of their duties. Several teas
and luncheons, a theatre party and handsome souve-
nirs formed part of the program devised for the
entertainment of the lady visitors and, taking in
the "Ladies' Style Show" was an unexpected, crown-
ing feature.

The choice of the Hotel Brunswick as the head-
quarters of the convention was a happy one, the ho-
tel being situated in the most accessible and repre-
sentative section of the city and near Horticultural
Hall, where the business sessions were held. The
newspapers of Boston did their best in the interest of
the convention carrying full accounts of the pro-
ceedings, together with numerous illustrations of the
many fine estates visited.

The committee of arrangements provided a neat
and comprehensive program and also a four-page fold-
er giving a summary of the outings arranged for the
visiting members. These outings, Sept. 14 and 15,
were favored with most pleasant weather and ex-
tended over a course of approximately two hundred
miles with over forty automobiles in line.

Opening Session

The convention opened in Horticultural Hall, Sept.
12, at 2 p.m. The hall was handsomely decorated
with flowers and plants, especially the speakers' plat-
form, where a very large and well-flowered speci-
men of Dipladenia splendens profusa, from George F.
Stewart formed an admirable centerpiece, flanked on
either side with choice specimens of rare Ondonto-
glossums, Cypripediums, Cattleyas and other orchids
from Donald McKenzie. Stately palms in the back-
ground and at the sides helped to set off the de,eora-
tidn to perfection.

About 150 members and delegates were present
when Chairman William N. Craig made his introduc-
tory address. After speaking of the progress made
by the Association since 1910, when it comprised 300
members, and mentioning that there are now over
1100, he introduced Mark E. Sullivan as the repre-
sentative of Mayor James J. Curley, absent on account
of election day. Mr. Sullivan, who is an eloquent
speaker, is proud of being the son of a father who
was a gardener and is also proud of being able to
walk in the shade of trees which he and his father
planted in the days of long ago. He expressed
the regrets of Mayor James J. Curley for not being-
able to be with the association on this day, more so,
because his Honor had the pleasure of addressing the
convention when it was held in Boston in 1915. Mr.
Sullivan used expressive words of appreciation for
the association, its work and for the gardeners' pro-
fession in general and offered the freedom of the city
to the convention. D. L. Mcintosh of New Jersey
responded to the Mayor's welcome with a neat little
speech which was intensely interesting and shot
through with many flashes of his inimitable wit.

The President's Address

President Robert Cameron, in his address, spoke of
the horticultural library in Horticultural Hall, of
the city's parks and park system and of Quarantine
No. 37, which latter he considers well designed to
make some men rich in money while it prevents
American horticulture from advancing. He advocated
the establishment of more local branches of the
association and wishes for more publicity at the
hands of the public press. Then he spoke of the
advantages offered to young men, who wish to become
efficient helpers and gardeners, which the courses at
the Massachusetts Agricultural College at Amherst
are now giving. He strongly advised the members to
induce young men, and especially their own sons, to

patronize these two-year courses. The work of school
gardens received warm words of praise and encour-
agement, also the work which is being done in the
interest of preservation of wild flowers. Finally he
alluded to the work and aims of the National Asso-
ciation of Gardeners and its activity in providing em-
ployment for the members and gardeners for the
owners of estates. Mr. Cameron thinks the conven-
tions should be held earlier in the season; some time
around August 15, when the gardens are still in full
bloom.

The address on behalf of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts by Arthur W. Gilbert, Commissioner
of Agriculture, was a timely review of the present
conditions which contribute to the fact that Massa-
chusetts is not growing enough of the food required.
Within a radius of 250 miles of Boston is contained
more than one quarter of the whole population of
America and much of the land adapted to food pro-
duction is lying idle. He bases his hopes for a
betterment of the situation, on the coming generations
of boys and girls clubs and on the closer relations
between the agricultural colleges and the Associations
of Gardeners.

The next speaker was Albert C. Barrage, president
of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, who ex-
tended a hearty welcome from his society and offered
the freedom of the building and the great library con-
tained therein. Mr. Burrage deplored the fact that
Massachusetts, which was a paradise of wild flow-
ers for 300 years, is now facing the danger of seeing
them totally exterminated. He appealed to the Na-
tional Association of Gardeners and to every member
to do all in their power to stem the destruction now
going on. He spoke of the great industry in Cran-
berry, Tobacco and Celery growing in New England
and "made some pungent remarks about the inconsist-
encies and ill effects of the application of Qu. No. 37,
expressing the hope that some of the decrees of said
quarantine would soon be modified.

Miss Marian Roby Case of Hillcrest Gardens, Weston,
Mass., gave an address on behalf of the Garden Club
of America and the training of boys at Hillcrest Gar-
dens. These gardens, since 1909, offer boys from the
neighborhood most excellent opportunities for intro-
duction into all branches of garden work, combined
with scientific instruction by professionals and college
teachers. Her story of how the boys are taught and
handled was most interesting and the lady answered
many questions. E. I. Farrington, editor of Horticul-
ture, made a short address before the session closed.

Following the session the ladies had arranged a
delicious tea and refreshments in the lower hall and,
somehow or other, found that the gentlemen showed
so much interest in the affair that they took pity on
them and made them welcome too. In the evening, un-
der the chaperonage of the ladies' committee the
ladies took in one of the best theatres in town.
Wednesday's Business Sessions

The business session on Wednesday opened at 9
a.m. with a full attendance. Secretary Martin C.
Ebel read his report, which was accepted. Mr. Ebel
brought out the fact that the demand for gardeners
slackened perceptibly early in the season and he lays
the blame for this condition to the prevalent general
unsettled industrial uncertainty, strikes, etc.

The treasurer, Montague Free, not being present,
Harry E. Downer read his report, which was accepted
(Continued on page 810)

He Didn't Let Up Till He Got It

Last Sunday morning a delegation of Elks from
Philadelphia reached Communipaw, N. J., and there
embarked aboard the steamers Nassau and Millard
for the trip down New York Bay to meet Charles
Grakelow of Philadelphia who was returning from.
Europe that morning. On the strength of his repu-
tation as a "mixer" and a promising though inex-
perienced reporter, our Ad Man had been detailed
to join the Philadelphians and take part in the wel-
come.

Misled by the ever confusing "standard" and "day-
light" times, also the exact point of arrival, he ar-
rived on the scene after the steamers had left the
dock.

Hiring a 15ft. motorboat he immediately set out
to overhaul the specially chartered boats that had
gone up the Hudson for a preliminary sail. After
proceeding up river some distance, he found it neces-
sary to stop at one of the piers and load up (with
gas, ofl course), during 'winch time he had the)
pleasure of seeing his prey glide down the river
and out of sight.

Taking up the chase again, he and his little craft
beat their way down to the Battery only to be told
by a "fellow sailor-man" that the boats he was after
had turned into the East River some 30 minutes pre-
viously. Then, "shiver his timbers," if engine trouble
didn't develop, and in the midst of adjustment his elu-
sive prey nosed its way out of the East River, going
down the Bay and into the Narrows.

The race at this juncture got into the blood of the
pilot of the motor boat and first mate, Irving Wilt.

"Mr. Reporter," said the pilot, "you're going to get
aboard one of those boats and get your story, or I
am going to sink this bathtub of mine 'leaving no
trace.' " Down the Bay they went and into the Nar-
rows, encountering all the swells of a body of water
perpetually filled with craft, until they found them-
selves with Fort Wadsworth on one side and Fort
Hamilton on the other. There the quest was almost
ended. A toot-toot from a police whistle impelled the
captain of the Millard to heave to. "What's your
business," inquired a man of the sea, with the kind-
est of blue eyes. "I am looking for Ingram of the
Philadelphia and Reading R. R.. in charge of the Elk's
party," roared back the Ad Man. A shout of wel-
come from the P. & R. representative, a scramble up
the sides of the Millard, willing hands outstretched,
and our representative was aboard to record the story
of welcome to the "silver-tongued orator of Philadel-
phia."

"Get your man" is the standing order with the Ca-
nadian Mounted Police. "Get your story," is the com-
mand of the editor of The Exchange.

Charles Grakelow Returns Home

When it is recorded that more than one thousand
men and women left Philadelphia for New York last
Sunday morning, for the purpose of welcoming home
Charles Grakelow on his return from Europe, it looks
as if the much beloved florist and Elk had completely
shattered the popular belief that "a prophet is not
without honor, save in his own country." Two trains
with 1100 Elks of Philadelphia Lodge No. 2 and their
wives aboard, including an Elk band of 91 pieces,
departed from the Reading Terminal at Philadelphia
at 7.30 a.m. In addition to extending a heartfelt
welcome to Exalted Ruler Grakelow, who also holds
the office of Pennsylvania State President of the Elks
organization, the delegation had as its purpose the
extending of the glad hand of welcome to Past Ex-
alted Ruler, Louis Goldsmith, affectionately known
as "Charley's right bower."

A story told on the boat fits in here, as, to quote a
Brother Elk, "it reveals the Charley of it all." At a
gathering of the organization on the Pacific Coast
last June, it was decided to send Exalted Ruler Grake-
low to Europe for a rest as a small token of recog-
nition of his generous efforts iu behalf of the organi-
zation. However, when the offer was tendered, Mr.
Grakelow told them that he had already completed
his own plans to go to Europe and suggested that
their gift be transferred to Mr. Goldsmith. This ar-
rangement met with instant approval, with the re-
sult that Messrs. Grakelow and Goldsmith traveled
together.

Disembarking from the two special trains at Com-
munipaw, N. J.^ tie delegation was immediately trans-
ferred to the steamers Nassau and Millard. As a
few hours remained before it was possible to meet the
ship bearing two distinguished Elks, the steamers
were turned into marine sightseeing omnibuses and
a run up the Hudson gave the visitors a splendid
view of the New York and Jersey shores. Returning
to the Battery, the vessels headed up the East River,
the Philadelphians particularly appreciating the sail

Notes from Abroad

Hopes as to a fine September have so far
been partly realized. There has been a fair
amount of sunshine, but the temperature
lias been somewhat under the usual for the
time of year.

The flower trade in Covent Garden has
been rather brisker than was the case last
"week. Asters and Chrysanthemums are the
predominant note in cut flowers, and the
Chinese Lantern plant strikes the eye on
various stalls. As pot plants, Campanulas,
Heaths and Dwarf Asters almost occupy the
field to themselves.

In Central Europe, the crops in general,
are showing the effects of the Spring drought.
Peas and Beans, Corn and Tares are all
'Under average, but the quality is satisfactory.
Yaw, Hemp and Colza have turned out
moderately well.

From France the news as to most crops
confirms previous reports. In the Parisian
region, Cabbages and Cauliflowers, notwith-
standing attacks of fly, have done well, also
Brussels Sprouts, and Cucumbers, though
late, look healthy, except in the South.
Spinach, Celery and Parsnip are moderately
good; Squashes and Melons fair; Peas
generally short and Haricots promising on
the whole. Tomatoes appear likely to pro-
duce an abundant crop. In some districts
recent rains may affect quality of the produce.

The Vilrnorin centenary has been the chief
■event in the French seed trade, and it is one
■of the few cases in which a business has been
in the hands of the same family for over 100
years. Few houses can look back on such a
record of services to horticulture as this
house of world-wade celebrity.

In Holland, Cauliflowers, Cress, Spinach
Parsnip and Peas are in good shape, but all
■other articles more or less under average.
From Denmark the report is confirmed that
Cauliflowers are plentiful but Cabbages
very scarce.

In Australasia the seed trade has been
rather quiescent, owing chiefly to the general
■slump in business. A fair quantity of
Canadian Wonder Beans has been exported,
largely to South Africa, and imports of
Marigold, Rutabaga and Parsnip principally
from England, are said to have been exten-
sive.

To keep on hammering away is a good old
plan and its efficacy has been once more
proved by the Horticultural Trades Asso-
ciation, which has been trying to have the
same government inspection applied to the
outsiders (butchers, barbers, boot dealers,
etc., who sell seeds for a short time in the
Spring), as is now done to the legitimate
seed trade. At first the department used the
word "impossible," then it said "extremely
difficult," and finally announced that it had
been largely done! Persistence is generally
rewarded.

New York Seed Trade

Last week we mentioned what was sell-
ing then in the seed stores of this city in
the line of seeds proper, bulbs, roots and
nursery stock. There is no change so far
as we have been able to observe, but we
cannot help but note that counter
trade in the stores is very light. All,
nevertheless, are making attractive sales-
room and window displays of seasonable
goods, the very thing to do always when
sales are slow; when business is dull there
aTe two things which a merchant should
always do, namely, advertise freely and
make elaborate window displays of mer-
chandise.

Vaughan's Seed Store, 41-43 Barclay
St., has taken on a bulbous appearance
this week; there is in both its Barclay
and Church st. windows and in its sales-
room as well, the most comprehensive dis-
play of Dutch, French and domestic bulbs
which we have observed in this city, and,
furthermore, the best arranged to attract
the attention of buyers and for inspection.
A large specimen plant of Celosia grown

from Vaughan's seeds gives a touch of life
and color to the show. Another consignment
of Dutch bulbs, 200 cases, arrived on the
S. S. Noordam, Sept. 17, and a large con-
signment of French bulbs of all kinds,
420 cases, on the S. S. Providence early
this week. The Dutch bulbs which had
previously arrived have been checked up
and shipped out. The demand for Callas
and for Lilium eandidum continues strong.
The retail Autumn bulb catalog of this
house has been sent out and is already
bringing in many orders.

Hurrying Bulbs Through the Customs

The piers are reported to be somewhat
congested; especially was this so in the
early days of this week on account of
heavy arrivals of bulbs. All importers of
bulbs were doing their best to get these
through the Custom House, before the
new tariff bill passes, which will require
the payment of higher duties. Receipts
at Custom House, Sept. 18, for duties on
all classes of merchandise, were the highest
in history, amounting to more than $6,-
000,000, the bulk from importers with-
drawing great quantities of goods from
bonded warehouses, in anticipation of the
early passing of the tariff bill.

Mention has been made in our seed
trade column from time to time of the
long list of sundries on sale in a modern
seed store. This week when calling at the
splendid store of Carters Tested Seeds,
Inc., 53 Barclay st., we noted a new item
to be added to the list, namely, wooden
shoes, such as are worn in France and
other countries of Europe. These were
imported on order of a customer, and at
the same time some extra samples for
general sale.

Arthur Watkins of the traveling staff
of Burnett Bros., 92 Chambers St., has
returned from a pleasurable vacation,
much of which he spent on Long Island,
touring in a car with a friend. They
visited several sporting events and many
points of interest.

At the auction at the greenhouses of
David Clarke's Sons, conducted on Sept.
15, by Robert W. MacNiff of the MacNiff
Horticultural Co., 196 Greenwich st.,
there was a complete sale of all the palms
and other plants offered, and of all green-
house material.

The auction sales of Dutch bulbs, which
the MacNiff Horticultural Co. expected
to hold on Tuesday and Friday of this
week had to be postponed until the same
days of next week at noon. On account
of the congested state of the piers, due
to the arrival of several ships with Dutch
and French bulbs, this company found it
impossible to get their bulbs from pier
to warehouse in time to check them up
for auction sales this week.

F. Bynveld & Sons continue to receive
large shipments of Dutch bulbs. The re-
sponse to their catalogs recently mailed
out to florists are very encouraging. The
demand for French bulbs remains good,
some items like Roman Hyacinths, French
Golden Spur and Soleil d Or being prac-
tically cleaned up. Many florists that
refused to confirm their orders for Paper-
whites when the higher prices were farst
announced are now purchasing. This firm
has received and is shipping out first ar-
rivals of Chinese Sacred Lilies, the - de-
mand for which is good at prices about
the same as last year.

Albert Langwith, Havana, Cuba, seeds-
man and florist, was among recent callers
in this city.

We enjoyed last week a brief visit from
S. F. Willard, Jr., of the Fottler, Fiske,
Rawson Co. of Boston (and incidentally
scion of the house of Willard in Weth-
ersfield, Conn., of Comstock, Ferre & Co.
fame) who was passing through New York
in the course of a holiday trip. The seed
trade is so close to Mr .Willard's heart
that he took some time to visit several of
the downtown retail stores and the pub-

Orchid-Flowering

Sweet Pea Seed

ZVOLANEK'S
NOVELTIES
FOR 1922-23

The best blue Sweet Peas ever produced
to date.

ZVOLANEK'S BLUE SENSATION. A

self of clearest blue. Similar to Zvolan-
ek's Blue and twice as large. The best
blue ever produced. Four flowers to a
long stem which holds its color to the
very last.
ZVOLANEK'S BLUE WONDER. A
large, clear blue flower upon opening,
but changes to a light violet as it ages.
Slightly larger than the above.
ZVOLANEK'S BLUE CHIEF. A blue
self which is slightly darker than Zvolan-
ek's Blue Sensation, but in all other
respects is the same.
ZVOLANEK'S COMET. A large salmon
on cream ground. A good bloomer and
holds color very well. If well grown
majority of flowers producing four on a
long stem and with double standards or
wings — very large.

Price: U oz. $4.00.
ZVOLANEK'S XMAS GEM. Same color
as Xmas Pink, only double the size. One
of our 1919 introductions. Short crop.
Price: Oz. $2.00.
ZVOLANEK'S PINK. Practically the
same as Zvolanek's Rose, but shorter
grower. Color of more intense pink,
which holds color to the very last.
Price: Oz. $2.50, 4 ozs. $8.00, lb. $25.00.
ZVOLANEK'S ROSE. This is the very
best commercial Sweet Pea ever pro-
duced to date. Every one who has ever
tried it cannot say enough for it and
wants it again in larger quantities. The
flowers are of the most beautiful self-
rose color, double the size of Mrs. Skach;
holds its color to the last and is a free
bloomer, also unexcelled for outdoors.
Price: Oz. $2.00, 4 ozs. $6.00, lb. $20.00.
ZVOLANEK'S PERFECTION. Dark
pink or old rose of very largest size;
similar to Zvolanek's Rose in shape and
size. Holds color to last. Short crop.

ZVOLANEK'S WHITE. The largest
white seeded white in existence; flowers
are wide apart with nearly all fours;
majority with double wings or standards.
The very best commercial white to date.

black seeded white; rather short grower
with very ruffled flowers. One of our
1920 introductions.
Price on Each: Oz. $2.00, 4 ozs. $6.00,

lb. $20.00.
ED. ZVOLANEK. Purest lavender,
similar to Mrs. Chas. Zvolanek in color,
but very large. A good bloomer in dark-
est Winter. If well grown the majority
of the flowers produce four to a long
stem with double wings or standards.
This variety is a great improvement
over all other lavenders. May revert
to some extent, but we guarantee it
about 90 per cent true.
Price: Oz. $2.00, 4 ozs. $6.00, lb. $20.00.
These are the best commercial varieties
and all of largest size. There are none
better. Send for complete list.

Chicago Seed Trade

A. Miller of the American Bulb Co.
left Saturday on a business trip to New
York City. Holland bulbs have arrived
and are opening up satisfactorily.

Alex. Rennie of A. Henderson & Co.
is on his vacation visiting his old home in
Providence, R. I. W. J. Sharpe, who has
charge of the retail store, has put in an
attractive window in the form of a bed
of Tulips with a background of colored
lithographs of various bulb stock.

Vaughan's Seed Store reports the ar-
rival of three carloads of Holland bulbs
and _ one of Chinese Narcissus. The re-
ceiving and shipping of these keeps a large
force of workmen busy at the West Side

warehouses. The cool weather the past
week has caused business to pick up in
the retail store.

The new tariff on bulbs is a matter of
much comment by the dealers. Just why
an increase on some items, Holland bulbs
for instance, and a reduction on others,
as in the case of Japanese Lilies, was
necessary, is a problem no one can solve.

J. Oliver Johnson, 1809 Milwaukee ave.,
reports an extensive trade in fertilizers.
The florists are buying more than ever,
which is indicative of the prosperity of
the trade all over the country.

J. C. Vaughan, who is back from an
extended trip through Minnesota and Ne-
braska, states the recent very warm spell
did considerable damage to the florists'
stock in those sections.

Dahlias in England

Evidently the rainy Summer has bene-
fited Dahlias in England. At the R. H. S.
meeting, Aug, 22, a number of new sorts
were exhibited. Two Star varieties,
raised by Cheal, and four Cactus and
three Decorative by Stredwick, gained the

American Bulb Co. (Chicago) employees enjoying a visit to

New Yorker Gets $4000 for
Ginseng Crop

Frank Barnes of Lewis County, N. Y.,
sold his Ginseng crop recently for $4000.
Barnes has one of the largest Ginseng
farms in the State and in the nation.

The crop was raised on two acres of
land. Last year he sold 746 pounds for
$5145.

Barnes purchased his Ginseng farm 16
years ago on the slopes of the Adirondacks,
when it contained four beds, measuring

4ft.xl00ft. each. Now he has 107 beds
containing 1600 roots. The farm was
started entirely from wild roots obtained
in the Beech, Birch and Maple forests of
the Adirondack foothills.

The beds are under cover to produce
conditions imitating forest shade. In the
early Spring the roots are dug. The
smaller, discarded roots are planted to
raise another crop in two or three years.
The larger roots are put through a six
months' drying process and then sold.
They are shipped to China, where they
are highly prized for their supposed me-
dicinal value.

The Ginseng plant grows about 18in.
high, divides into three stems with wax-
like leaves, and produces seed from which
plants may be grown in several years. —

"AS EASY AS ROLLING OFF A LOG"
Recording Judges' Decisions

ENDORSED BY OUK LEADING HORTICULTURAL SOCIETIES

THE CLERICAL WORK of Every Flower Show Exhibition Should
Be Run on Business Lines. Our System is the best, the simplest,
the least expensive, and, in every particular, the most satisfactory.

We have devised, for the use of Managers
and Secretaries, a set of Three Books, Entry
Forms, Entry Cards and Pasters, covering in
detail the orderly and systematic arrange-
ment of every item in bookkeeping, from
the time the Entry Forms are given out to
the payment of prizes and closing up of ac-
counts, and this system is so concise and
complete that prize winners can be paid off
without confusion immediately after Judges'
decisions have been rendered. The system
is so plain that no instructions from us have
ever been called for.

This system, once tried, is ever a favorite;
it can be truthfully called the greatest Labor
Saver ever placed within the reach of Ex-
hibition Managers.

climbers and fruit trees. This firm strongly fea-
tures shrubs and plants not commonly found in

Yew, etc.) is a specialty.

Wholesale list for Fall and Spring. Offers a splen-
did assortment of deciduous trees and shrubs, ever-

Quick Action to Save Tariff Fees

The following is a copy of a letter recently
sent by Wm, C. Gloeckner of Albany to
his importing broker in New York. The
suggestion that consignments of incoming
stock be unloaded promptly so as to get the
benefit of existing tariff rates was a good one_
( Such action is, of course, 710 longer
possible, the new tariff bill having become
a law Wednesday midnight.)
Gentlemen:

Enclosed please find postal from one foreign
dealer in reference to three cases of bulbs consigned
to us to arrive on the S, S. Noordam. I see by
The Florists Exchange that this steamer is due
to sail again on Saturday of this week and this
being the case it ought to be in and unloaded
about the time you receive this letter. This lot of
bulbs was purchased F. O. B. New York, so the
duty is to be paid by consignor.

The tariff bill is about ready to be passed and
sent to the President, and as there are some
changes upward in the duty on bulbs, it would be
a good idea for you to get these cases unloaded as
soon as possible so that the duty can be paid before
the new bill goes into effect.

Mr. Gloeckner also asks for the latest
information as to the changes between
present and proposed bulb rates. These,
we can give as follows:

Present Tariff Fordney Tariff

Tulips S2.00 per 1000 $.50 per 1000

Oh! oh! oh! our reputations are ruined
It is being noised about the office that our
impeccable, irreproachable Ad Man has
been seen brazenly parading around these
premises with a mouthful of Scotch! !

P. S. Later. Yes, it's true; only too
time. We've seen him ourselves. And we
hate to mention the grin of satisfaction
that bedecks his face the while.

P. S. Still later. Whew! What a re-
lief. We've gone to the bottom of this
and we beg everybody's pardon. The much
maligned A. M. has indeed a bit o' Scotch
in his mouth, but it's only a braw Scotch
day pipe that the Boss brought him from
Canada on his return from a little pleas-
ure jaunt. Praise be!

It kills plant-lice

HALL'S FREE NICOTINE is scienti-
fically planned for greenhouse spray-
ing and vaporizing. It kills plant lice,
thrips and many similar greenhouse pests.

This powerful insecticide is guaranteed
to contain 40% pure nicotine. And the
nicotine is in the free state — particularly
adapted to indoor spraying.

Hall's Free Nicotine is deadly effective;
yet made up as a spray, it costs but 2>£
cents a gallon. When used for fumigating,
it has all the killing power of Hall's Nico-
tine Fumigator.

J-lb. tins, $15.00; 2-lb. tins, $4.25; H-lb. tins,
$1.40. Buy from your dealer. If he is not sup-

A Fine New Hardy Plant

Double Moonpenny Daisy

Chrysanthemum maximum, to which
King Edward VII and others belong, we
know as the Moonpenny Daisy, and if
you haven't already added to your list of
Kelw-ay's Double, you should do so. This
variety produces fine double and semi-
double flowers on long stems and there-
fore is most valuable for cutting during
the Summer months. You will find it as
hardy as any, yet it is always well to lift
a few field plants and Winter them in a
frame. In Spring, divide the clumps
and plant out one foot apart; the earlier
you can do this the better and a well
manured soil will give you better flowers
and stems. You can obtain at this time,
field grown plants which, if you happen to
be located in a section where severe Win-
ters are the rule, you do best by heeling
the plants in a coldframe and protect a
little. They will come out fine next
Spring. All so-called hardy Daisies are
best divided each year about this time
and replanted, or can be done in early
Spring. Three or four year old clumps
will bloom, but the flowers are small and
the stems weak.

Cyclamens

For December Flowering

Don't grow the plants under shade after
this; let them have the full sunlight and
on hot sunny days, refresh them with a
light spraying during the noon hours. If
you have to do this twice no harm, but if
shade is kept over them they will make a
soft growth which is fully as bad as to
have them suffer by being crowded. Stock
you want for Christmas should not be
shifted after this; you can tell right now
w-hat plants are likely to be in bloom
during December. The buds should be in
sight at the base of the plants; look them
over. Where you don't find signs of buds
and the plants are in need of a shift, by
all means let them have it for between
now and the end of November, there is
time for the development of the plants.
New leaves will appear and those on the
plants will grow larger. Divide your
plants; select the most advanced; let each
have sunlight and space all around. An
airy bench and a Carnation house tem-
perature for the present; later on, a few
more degrees won't hurt, but don't keep
them too warm now. Keep them short
and stocky and by all means as clean as
a whistle.

Pentstemon

Should Be Grown More Extensively

If you retail the stock you grow and in
particular, if you handle perennials as a
side line, both as plants to cut flowers,
you should include Pentstemon in your as-
sortment. If you go West far enough, you
find them growing like weeds and every
hardy border has a few clumps, but with
us, it is better to sow seed late in
Fall under glass and carry the plants
along in a cool house. By Spring we
have heavy plants in 4s which, when
planted out, will give us quantities of fine
spikes, not only good for the border, but
which can be used for cutting. The new
hybrid Pentstemon Sensation will make
plants about 30in. in height, the spikes
covered with miniature Gloxinia shaped
flowers in a wide range of colors, in-
cluding rose, lilac, pink and crimson.
Nothing showier when in flower during
mid-Summer and planted in groups in the
hardy border. You can also use them
for bedding. Pentstemons can also be
grown from cuttings of field plants rooted
now, but if you only want a few, why not
get a packet of seed and sow shortly?

Schizanthus Wisetonensis

For Winter and Early Spring Flowering

If you are looking for an ideal cool
house crop to give you flowers to cut
from December until Memorial Day
make three or four sowings of Schizan-

thus Wisetonensis from now on up to Jan-
uary or a little later. For mid-Winter
blooming, grow the plants on in pots;
keep the seedlings shifted and be sure to
do this before they become pot bound,
until you have the plants in 4s, 5s or 6s.
Pinch back once those to flower early
and twice for the later ones. Grow in a
house just a little over 45 and never over
50. As soon as the plants become pot
bound, they set bud and bloom, so plants
in 4s, by the end of November and pot
bound, most likely will flower in the
Carnation house around Christmas. Your
other stock will come along after that. Try
to have more seedlings coming on and
keep them shifted if you want a succession
of bloom. During January, you can sow
seed in rows on a solid bed and thin the
plants out later on; they make big speci-
mens if given a chance. Sow out more
during February. Plants from seed sown
in October, grown cool in good soil and
kept shifted and pinched can be grown
into 3ft. through specimens and covered
with hundreds of flowers by March.

glass when we are nearing Spring, whether
grown in beds, benches or pots, but you
can't say that of several varieties dur-
ing mid-Winter. Many find it cheaper to
purchase what they need in flowers dur-
ing December, January and February and
cut from their own stock from March on
from stock which has been rooted now,
kept shifted, and planted on a bench out
of 4s, after Christmas or during Jan-
uary. For this purpose, Mrs. F. Sanders
is one of the most desirable of varieties;
its double and often semi-double flowers
are always useful and usually prepared
single sorts. This Marguerite also makes
an excellent Easter pot plant and, when
grown from cuttings rooted during Jan-
uary and grown on in 4s for the bedding
season. For cut flowers, a good strain of
what we know as Boston Yellow is a fine
variety and we find it doing equally well
in solid beds or benches, but like all
others it is at its best in early Spring,
when you obtain the largest flowers and
best stems.

Arabia albida. Rock Cress

Poinsettias

Need an Even Temperature

Watch your plants from now on; they
have dark green leaves and appear full of
life now; sudden changes in temperature
which are so apt to happen at this time
of the year, will soon turn the foliage
into a lighter shade and make the bottom
leaves drop off in a few weeks from now.
Watch the ventilators; a little crack of
air and a little heat in the pipes will give
you the right kind of atmosphere over
night. Keep the house near the 60 point,
a little under won't hurt, but the more
even the temperature is kept, the bet-
ter they like it. If you have to subject
them to 60 one night and 45 the next and
water carelessly, you soon finish the best
of them. The plants grown on for cut
flowers in the benches need proper sup-
port; good results can be had even in a
house of 55 deg., but keep it 55 no matter
what you have to do and, during October
especially is this necessary. Pot bound
stock may not be benefited much by shift-
ing after this date; a little liquid cow
manure is better.

Marguerites

Mrs. F. Sander and Boston Yellow

You 'may not have room for the next
three months for the benching of Mar-
guerites or not find it profitable with a
limited space to grow them for Winter
cutting. But there is that much to the
growing of Marguerites under glass. Al-
most any variety will bloom freely under

Stocks

A Good Cold House Crop

There are many sections where Stocks
as Summer flowers outdoors are anything
but satisfactory and for that reason are
eonidered of little importance. On the
other hand they are not enough appre-
ciated as a greenhouse crop for early
Spring flowering. In almost any house
with a temperature of between 45 and 50
deg. and from 4ft. to 5ft. of headroom
above the benches, good stocks may be
grown. To grow good stocks you must
start the plants cool and begin with a
good strain of seed such as will give you
a high percentage of double flowers. Sow
seed now of such varieties as Queen Alex-
andra for light lavender; Mont Blanc,
white, and Beauty of Nice for pink. As
soon as large enough to handle, pot the
seedlings into 2%s, carry along in a cool
sunny house and plant on a bench, may-
be to follow Chrysanthemums. Allow a
good foot or a little more between them.
Always carry a few extra plants along in
pots, to replace such as may damp off in
the benches. These plants, of course, you
will have to keep shifted and even pinched
back once the same as the benched ones.
Even if you have to carry the benched
plants in a house of 35 or 40 degs. they
will come out nicely; in fact, better than
if kept too warm.

Rock Cress

While we have many native species of
Arabis in America, those cultivated in
our gardens seem to be chiefly of European
origin. They are favorites for rock work,
whether in elaborate rockeries, in wall
gardens or along the edges of stony walks.
They will stand dry, hot positions in the
garden where almost anything else will
kill out.

They bloom early in Spring when the
first brave show earns a general approval.
Some of them, moreover, are mildly fra-
grant, as for example, the species shown
here, Arabis albida. There are both an-
nual and perennial species, although those
chiefly grown are of the latter class. They
are easily grown from seed, and the per-
ennials can also be propagated by division.
Frank A. Watjgh.

[The double form of A. albida is much
more attractive, but can only be increased
by cuttings or divisions. It is just as
hardy as the single form, and for the
florist is most useful. — Ed.]

Grizzlybear

THE WATERPROOF GRADE OF RIPPLEKRAFT

A material which the editor of a
leading trade journal recently
told us would be used by every
nursery that was familiar with
its advantages. And here is what
one of more than 250 nursery
users writes:

"I tried Grizzlybear last Spring,
especially in shipping strawberry
. plants by Parcel Post. Shipped
some to California, a distance of
2500 miles, and the reply came
back, 'Plants came in fine shape,
set them out this morning.' " —
West Concord Nursery, West
Concord, Minnesota.

Grizzlybear is waterproof. Very
tough. Eliminates need of bur-
lap. Economical. Easy to
handle. Saves time and labor.
Makes a wonderfully attractive
package.

Free Samples for Trial

Let us send you some sheets which
you can use in wrapping up a few
plants as a trial. Simply let us
know size of sheets desired and we
will send them free. Also tell us
quantity you might order if pleased
with your tests — and we shall be
glad to quote you prices.

Protecting the Good Name of Horticulture

A Plea for Concerted Action and Cooperative Defense Against the
Harmful Activities of Irresponsible Horticultural " Quacks "

Southern Nurserymen's Association

Rousing Convention at Lexington, K.y.

"MJALL our profession be banded down with its
S high standards and reputation adequately safe-
guarded? Or are we going to let those without
eal horticultural knowledge or skill continue their
rude operations to the detriment of their clients
)lans, witb the result that our profession will come
o be looked upon as unworthy of confidence and re-
luiring neither study nor ability for its proper per-
'ormance? The choice of a course is distinctly, "up
0 us."

Many of us can remember the olden days when a
nan, to be a practical florist or gardener had to serve
lis apprenticeship for several years without re-
muneration, and in some cases had to pay for the
>rivilege of learning the trade in a recognized estab-
lishment. As a result of that system the most inter-
esting of the large estates in this country and abroad
vere developed, planted properly and cared for worth
ty. Many of them remain today as outstanding ex-
amples of the work of the real trained, practical
lorticulturist and landscape gardener.
. But then came a time when, witb many new com-
ivunities springing up all over the country, individ-
lals without any such training
md without even a fundamental
knowledge of rudimentary borti-
•ulture as a background, began to
;et themselves up as "florists" and
ater to branch out into the field
jf garden making, and even land-
scape design. No doubt in many
:ases their intentions were good
md their efforts honest, but had
:hey been subjected to proper con-
trol and required to undergo
proper training, the public of to-
lay would have been better served
ind our horticultural work at the
iresent time would have a higher
standard than now exists.

Today we find that many cor-
responding journeymen and
'Jacks-of-all-trades" have taken
Jn an additional line of work,
lamely that of "tree doctors."
'lust stop a minute and consider
svhat a menace this constitutes,
ooth to our profession, and to
lims of the public who are desir-
ms of developing their home sites
,ind estates in the right way, but
ivho frankly admit that they don't
inow how to go about it. You
will find in many papers pub-
lished in the smaller towns, ad-
vertisements reading about like

Have Your Trees Pruned Now

Usually the last line of such an
ad will be left in from one end of
the year to the next irrespective
of the fact that there is a right
and a wrong time to do such
work. This carelessness or ignor-
ance is characteristic of both the
utterances and actions of this type
Of "horticulturist." The writer
has had occasion several times
during the past few years to have
so-called "tree doctors" appre-
hended by the police for attempt-
ing work on private places under

false pretences, or for attempting to work on city
trees under municipal authority, and, in general, for
going a good way toward butchering and ruining
beautiful specimens of some of our most valuable
trees.

Some years ago at a meeting in New York City of
the New* York State Forestry Association (of which
I am a member) the matter of these pseudo tree
doctors was taken up. It was the opinion of many
that they should be controlled by law, that all per-
sons desiring to do tree surgery work for others
could do so only when issued a permit after passing
an examination, etc., and that they should be re-
quired to show such a permit or certificate to any
person from whom they might solicit business. For
some reason the matter was left by the wayside and,
to my knowledge, has never been taken up again.
Connecticut, as some of our readers doubtless know,
already has such a law in force, as has also New
Hampshire. While it is not wholly approved by all
interested, it is certainly serving as a check upon the
unscrupulous and unreliable quack horticulturists to

N general, the common Black Locust has a low reputation in this country, whereas it
really deserves something better. Anyone who has seen the Locust trees in bloom
along the Hudson River or on Long Island or in many parts of New Jersey will cer-
tainly speak a kind word for them.

That judicious English lover of good trees, William Robinson, puts it calmly when
he says : "From a planting and landscape gardening point of view the trees are precious
for their fine fresh verdure in Summer and Autumn, being distinct in that way from any
trees ; and the form of old Locust trees in groups is very fine, and quite apart from that
of other trees."

The hard wood is valuable, being especially fitted for use as fence posts. Were it not
for its one inveterate enemy, the Locust borer, this would be a leading species in practical
forestry. As matters stand, it can be safely recommended only for coarse plantings on
light sterile land. It is somewhat weedy in regions where it thrives best, running wild
along roadsides and in old fields. Yet in spite of its shortcomings we love it for its beauty
and the fragrance of its blossoms, and we hope there will always be masses of Locust
trees left to grace a busy and thoughtless world. Fkank A. Waugh.

EXCEPT for the fact that uncertain transporta-
tion facilities cut down the attendance of some
far distant members, the convention of the
Southern Nurserymen's Association at Lexington,
Ky., on Sept. 14 and 15, may be described as the
most successful of all that organization's gatherings.
The program was well chosen and sufficiently short
to be valuable without being tiresome ; the subjects
discussed were practical and interesting; the enter-
tainment features provided by the local nurserymen
under the leadership of the Messrs. Hillenmeyer were
of the highest order; and everything was thoroughly
enjoyed by a goodly gathering including a strong con-
tingent from Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.

By popular acclamation as well as formal ballot
Walter Hillenmeyer was elected president for the en-
suing year. O. Joe Howard, of Hickory, N. O, was
made vice-president and 0. W. Fraser, of Birming-
ham, Ala., re-elected secretary-treasurer, while At-
lanta, Ga., was chosen as the next meeting place. The
new executive committee includes H. B. Chase, of
Chase, Ala., and retiring President C. A. Simpson,
of Monticello, Fla., in addition to the above named
officers.

A motion to affiliate with the A. A. N. was passed,
as were resolutions of appreciative thanks to Lex-
ington and its various hosts. In his annual address
President Simpson urged the for-
mation of a vigilance committee
to keep an eye on trade practices
and recommended the reclassifica-
tion of stock to obtain the benefit
of lower freight rates.

On Thursday, Sept. 14, the nur-
serymen were the guests of the
local Rotary Club at its weekly
luncheon ; Reciprocating the Nur-
serymen's Association conferred
honorary membership in the "Yel-
low Dogs" — the official secret or-
der of the S. N. A. — upon the
whole Rotary Club, by initiating
its president, Frank Carter, and
two other members. This proceed-
ing was enjoyed by all and made
quite a hit with the 90 odd Ro-
tarians present.

On the evening of Sept. 15, Wal-
ter and Louis Hillenmeyer enter-
tained the convention at a buffet
supper served on the lawn of their
homestead. During the feast, the
gathering was started by a loud
peremptory command to "Surren-
der, in the name of the Confed-
eracy." Starting up they were
confronted by a gray clad officer —
reminiscent of the '60s, who, on
the back of a prancing iron gray
steed waved a sword in one hand
and a revolver in the other. It
took but a moment, however, for
the party to recognize Col. Dick
Redd and to rise and salute him
with a cheer, which he returned
with a sweeping gesture of true
Southern courtesy.

"When you go home, tell every-
body you saw a real Rebel," he
shouted back, as he wheeled his
charger and dashed off across the
fields. The supper so theatrically
interrupted came at the end of a
40-mile tour of Fayette county In
the course of which several stock
farms were visited, including the
home of the famous Man o' War.
Among the addresses made at
the business sessions of the con-
vention, the following, by Vernon

Protecting the Good Name of
Horticulture

{Continued, from page 797)

whom our correspondent refers. — Ed]
Our annual flower snows show clearly how
lnuch our people appreciate and want the
beautiful in horticulture and in our land-
scapes. Why then do not we landscape
gardeners and practical horticulturists do
something to bring about such results?

All too often an established landscape
gardener submits a plan and estimate for
the improvement of an estate; it is taken
under consideration, and then comes along
some wayfaring, smooth talking horticul-
tural adventurer who makes application
for the job, begins to criticize and scoff
at the pevious plan, submits a hasty pro-
posal of his own at a much lower figure —
and perhaps lands the contract. Then
what does he do? He starts the work
somehow, scurries about and buys up some
stock that, will make a big show for a
time, getting it for as little as possible,
and then struggles along as best he can.
Perhaps he finishes the work, gets his
pay and vanishes before the client begins
to realize that the result isn't exactly
what he hoped for. Or perhaps the latter
soon begins to find the work unsatisfac-
tory, and complains — with or without ef-
fect, according to the skill with which the
faker can convince him that it will all
come out right in the end. As a matter
of fact, he is working without a real
knowledge of his materials, of the local
conditions and needs, of the necessary
treatment of the stock before and after
planting, and of the true principles of
arangement and selection.

The same thing happens when such a
man atempts a pruning job. All too often
he leaves behind him a botched job —
whereupon the digusted owner remarks:
"Oh, let him go. They are all alike; you
cannot get any decent work out of a
landscape man nowadays." And our pro-
fession has received another black eye!

Now, my dear readers, you all know
that what I have stated is really so. I
am only bringing the facts to your notice
again to wake you up to some action. I
am not in commercial horticulture or land-
scape work, but am a city forester, simply
doing my work for the municipality.
And because of what I know has hap-
pened in the past and what is happening
right now, and at the suggestion of some
of the growers and landscape gardeners
of this vicinity, I am offering this article,
trusting that it will have some effect
and that the proper cooperation will be

Siven in the matter of keeping our won-
erful work out of the hands of these
imposters. Let us have some action, in
our own rights. I would be glad to hear
from those interested in a forward move-
ment for our protection and that of or-
namental horticulture.

Northern Nut Growers Association

A leading subject of discussion at the
successful convention held by this or-
ganization at Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 7
and 8, was the question of increasing its
membership. As an indication of the
spirit of the gathering, Pres. McGlennon
of Rochester pledged himself to secure
100 new members within a year, while ten
members promised to bring in ten new
members each in the same period.

Pres. McGlennon, by the way, was re-
elected with no opposition; so also were
Vice-President John F. Jones, Lancaster,
Pa.; Secretary W. C. Deming, Hartford,
Conn.; and Treasurer Willard G. Bixby,
Baldwins, N. Y. Washington, D. C, was
selected as the place for next year's con-
vention.

Interesting papers were read on all
phases of nut culture, improvement and
utilization, including! as of special in-
terest an explanation of his modern, high-
ly successful grafting methods by Dr.
Robert T. Morris of New York. These are
unique in that they are based on surgi-
cal principles that Dr. Morris has per-
fected in attaining his high place in the
ranks of the world's surgeons.

Local nurseries and nut orchards in the
vicinity were visited and a Walnut tree
was planted, with appropriate ceremonies
in Highland Park. Altogether, the meet-
ing and the discussions that characterized
it were significant of the increasing im-
portance of nuts and nut trees in both or-
namental and practical economic horti-
culture.

New York State Nurserymen's
Association

The Summer meeting and outing of this

urday, Sept. 9. About 70 nurserymen
from different parts of the State attended.
A short business meeting was held at
which an interesting address was deliv-
ered by Vincent Welch, secretary of the
Geneva Chamber of Commerce, on "Trade
Organizations and Their Value." The
balance of the time was devoted to social
enjoyment, a ball game and other sports,
games, finishing with a bountiful dinner.
All voted the occasion most enjoyable,
due credit for which should be given to
John P. Rice of Geneva, president of
the association.

Norfolk, Va.

The Atlantic Coast Nurseries, Inc.,
have secured 100 acres, with the possi-
bility of enlarging it to 200 acres, of the
Cumberland Farm, on which to grow
Roses, yielding, it is expected, from two
to four million Roses anually when the
land is fully developed for the purpose.

A great many experiments preceded the
formation of the Atlantic Coast Nurseries,
Inc., some of these having been conducted
at the Norfolk City Park. _ Because of
the climatic conditions of this section of
the country and the longer growing season,
as well as the adaptability of various
types of Roses to the soil, the company has
decided to initiate its extensive horticul-
tural enterprise here. The growing of
Roses is already going on at the Cumber-
land farm, with over 50,000 Roses in
bloom at one time.

Publicity the Nurseryman's Need

I find that I am assigned the subject
of "Growing Evergreens," but as it is
of little use to grow evergreens — or any
other nursery stock for that matter —
unless it can be sold, I will take only a
few minutes of your time to cover briefly
some points on that phase of the subject
as they appear to me.

Before the war it was, of course, cus-
tomary to . import many of the different
varieties of coniferous and broad leaved
evergreen trees and shrubs. It was gen-
erally understood that a great many
things could not be grown here in America,
through lack of skill, soil or climatic con-
ditions. It was thought that the propa-
fation of some of the .Junipers, Thuya,
'axus, Cedrus, Cupressus and Biota va-
rieties required some secret process that
only foreigners possessed. Rhododendrons,
Azaleas and Boxwoods were said to be out
of the question. Magnolias, Camellias,
Abelias, Ligustrum, Viburnums, etc., were
called a downright impossibility, for
American growers didn't have the intelli-
gence to grow certain needed articles of
stock formerly imported.

I am glad to say that these myths were
soon exploded. As one travels around the
country there is plenty of evidence that
the stocks are already here or on the way.
The growers of the Central and Eastern
States are getting into their stride. All
through this great beautiful Southland
your leading growers, big and little, are
equipping themselves to produce trees and
plants formerly imported from Europe
and Asia. Some of the most important
tree and plant producing units in the
country are located in the area embraced
by the Southern Nurserymen's Association.
On a trip to the important growing cen-
ters a year ago last Winter, I was amazed
at the great progress as well as the push,
enthusiasm and confidence displayed by
southern growers in the work of producing
plants formerly shipped in from abroad.
You have skillful and experienced grow-
ers and your leaders stand foremost in
accomplishment. - They, combined with
every needed variety of soil and climate,
icill produce the stock wanted by the
American consuming public.

The Pacific Coast, with its especially
favorable climatic conditions also offers
wonderful opportunities for the growing
of varied lines of nursery and florist
stock that are being taken full advantage
of by the growers there. There is in
process of production a vast amount of
needed stock that will help to fill the
gap and put American horticulture on
the map. During two months spent among
Pacific Coast growers last Winter I heard
not a word of discouragement. Every-
where they were throwing themselves into
the work with renewed energy and con-
fident determination.

With all this intense activity in the
production of nursery stock going on all
over the country, what will be the out-
come? For a few years the market will
undoubtedly absorb what is produced, but
after that, unless something is done, there
will unquestionably arise the old problem
of overproduction and brush piles, useful
only for bonfires; also ruinous prices, both

wholesale and retail, with cutthroat com-
petition.

The nursery industry is composed of
about 4000 nurservmen, with annual sales
totaling about $20,000,000. (These figures
are from the 1920 census.) Leading mem-
bers of the industry agree that $20,000,000
is less than one-fifth of the present poten-
tial market. One hundred million dollars
in sales should be reached or substantially
approached by the industry in the next
ten years. This advance seems entirely
within the range of practical accomplish-
ment. The consuming public of 110,000,-
000 people of this nation will gladly pay
an average of $1 each to the nursery in-
dustry for the usefulness and beauty of
trees and plants. We, however, as an
industry must develop tree planting into
a national habit. This can be done only
by reminding our vast audience, again and
again throughout the year, to plant trees.

The nursery industry has neglected to
promote the idea of such a habit. It has
been playing its tune on the piccolo, while
other industries have been beating the
base drum. It is time to kindle the fire
beneath the boiler, get up steam, blow
the whistle and go ahead. Failure to do
this means that the nurserymen will be
left waiting at the depot.

The American Association of Nursery-
men has never gotten very far in national
publicity work, although several consci-
entious starts have been made. Some of
the sectional and State associations have
used one plan or another, but the point
is that one plan and one slogan must
finally be adopted, that all nurserymen in
the_ industry, whether members of an as-
sociation or not, can tie up to.

We all know what success the florists
have had with their "Say it with Flowers"
campaign. As a result of this publicity,
because of the tremendous demand created
by a unified activity, the live florists are
getting rich, and even the sleepy are mak-
ing money and selling goods in spite of
themselves. One of the members of the
American Face Brick Association stated
that his firm was assessed for national
publicity last year the sum of $22,500,
and they paid up with one of the most
cheerfully written cheques of the year.

If the nursery industry has national
publicity we should help pay for it. If
it does not — we will pay for it anyway,
pay for it in unsold goods, surplus stock,
fire piles, overgrown trees, low prices,
ruinous competition, etc.

The message that I bring, then, to the
Southern Nurserymen's Association and
to the industry at large is a plea for the
adoption of some kind of organized na-
tional publicity. Publicity that will be
on the job 24 hours each day, seven days
in the week and 365 days in the year.
Publicity that will bring to the attention
of the millions of prospective buyers the
benefits of tree planting. Individual ef-
forts cannot cope with the situation. Or-
ganized cooperative national publicity is
the only remedy.

says: "We attended the florist and gar-
den exhibitions of Lindau and Munich.
Also looked over the florist stores and
nurseries in Dresden, Stuttgart, Paris,
Berlin, Venice and Florence. Business
is only fair in France and Italy. German
and Austrian florists are doing no busi-
ness at all. Stock is overplentiful and
fine. Roses, Dahlias and Gladioli are
very good. There is plenty of fruit. Aus-
tria is in a pitiful condition; stopped only
three days in that country. Had to carry
a basket for the worthless paper notes.
Intended to go to Vienna, but changed my
mind; no fun going through such a coun-
try. Our American dollar is as big as
a balloon.

"We visited several general trade exhi-
bitions in Hamburg and Berlin, with a
combined flower and plant show, objects
of art and other exhibits of a high class.

"Adolph Ernst of Stuttgart is the presi-
dent of the South German Florist and
Landscape Gardeners Association. He, as
well as Paul Pfitzer of Stuttgart, showed
us around the most prominent places by
auto. We noticed many new and im-
proved perennials of exceptional merit,
A. Ernst being foremost in hardy peren-
nials and fancy evergreens."

Mr. Seybold adds that they are on their
way to Genoa and Venice, and expect to
return by the S. S. Rochambeau, leaving
Havre on Oct. 3.

Two Old Nurseries of Chester
County Pennsylvania

Hoopes, Bro. & Thomas

Those fortunate enough to possess a
copy of Josiah Hoopes' Book of Ever-
greens, published in 1868, or to be familiar
with its exhaustive contents and treat-
ment of this subject, would naturally ex-
pect to find the nursery with which the
author was identified — Hoopes, Bro. &
Thomas of West Chester, Pa., — growing a
good collection of this class of stock.
And such was found to be the case in a
recent visit ^ to this nursery, which was
established in 1853, and now comprises
nearly 1000 acres. We cannot enumerate
all the evergreens we saw, but were im-
pressed especially with the Hoopes Blue
Spruce, Picea Hoopesii, originated by this
firm. It's the "last word" in a blue, being
even more intense in color than the best
Koster's. Of Junipers there were many,
likewise Retinosporas, Pines and Firs, with
a large assortment of Arborvitass. Also
a fine lot of bushy Hemlocks and many
sheared Box bushes in various sizes and
varieties.

We noticed some nice standard Althaeas
and Privets; large Rhus copallina, some
Euonymos elatus and an old variegated
leaved Hydrangea. In shade trees we
noted Pin and Red Oaks; Magnolia acu-
minata. Sugar and Norway Maples, the
latter, by the way, having straight trunks
for this tree and being of the good salable
size of 2in. to 3in., in contrast to the over-
grown kind so plentiful now and leading
the procession to the^ brush pile. Fruit
trees are also grown in quantity.

The Rakestraw & Pyle Co.

After partaking of lunch at the Green
Tree Inn — we favor these arborially in-
clined hostelries — the quaint tree lined
town of West Chester was left in the dis-
tance as we motored some 15 miles to
Kennett Square, the home of the Willow-

dale Nurseries of the Rakestraw & Pyle
Co. Here our friend Mr. Rakestraw gave
us a cordial reception — also a bouquet
of Ophelia, Columbia and Crusader Roses,
from a block that was blooming most pro-
fusely— and showed us around. This, too,
is an old concern, being established in
1866, and the fertility of the soil in
Chester County was attested to in the
growth of the general line of nursery
stock, although fruits appear to be a
specialty with this firm. In ornamental
trees we noted some fine Elms, Red and
Pin Oaks, Maples, Magnolias, Lindens,
Ginkgos, Ash, Catalpas and Planes, an
array of popular trees for which there is
a steady demand.

Every nursery has some old specimen
trees which have been planted about the
office or allowed to mature in the stock
ground, developing into an unusual size
rarely met with in the average landscape
planting. With the Willowdale Nursery
a fine specimen of Kadsura Tree, Cercido-
phyllum japonieum, near the office, serves
as a landmark to the writer. This tree
is about 40ft. in height, with a trunk
diameter exceeding 12in. These uncom-
mon— in size or of species — plants un-
doubtedly help to advertise a nursery, for
visitors will remember them and associate
them with the nursery, long after they
have forgotten the ordinary run of stock
seen, even though it be excellent. There-
fore, "plan to plant unusual trees" near
the office. S. N. B.

College Course for Gardeners

We have received from the Massachu-
setts Agricultural College a pamphlet of
information about the new course for gar-
deners to be given by that institution be-
tween Sept. 27, 1922, and June 8, 1923,
and about which The Exchange has
carried various articles in the past.

The object of the course, which will be
under the cooperative direction of the
college and the National Association of
Gardeners, is to combine the high grade
theoretical instruction characteristic of
the American system of horticultural edu-
cation with the practical or apprentice-
ship system better known in Europe. The
college will provide the theoretical and
scientific phase of the work and the as-
sociation make arrangements for the prac-
tical operations on estates, etc.

Students taking the course must be at
least 17 years old and must have com-
pleted the equivalent of an elementary
school course and be able to use the Eng-
lish language reasonably well. Special
consideration will be given to applicants
recommended by the National Associa-
tion. There is still time to register for
the course, which is free to residents of
Massachusetts, but costs $60 a term for
others (making $120 for the first year
and $180 for the second) . Information
can be obtained and registration effected
by addressing Prof. F. A. Waugh, Am-
herst, Mass.

Colorado Springs, Colo. — Mrs. F. H. P.
Taylor, nurseryman of this city, will erect
a nursery at Tejon and Rio Grande, at an
approximate cost of $150,000.

Memphis, Tenn. — The proprietors of
the Idlewild Greenhouse, located at 234
E St., will erect an addition to their
quarters, same to cost $2000.

Week at the Capital

By CLARENCE L. LINZ

Income Tax Directories

A bill to provide for the publication
of an annual directory of income tax pay-
ers has been introduced in the Senate by
Senator King of Utah. Under the terms
of the measure, the Secretary of the
Treasury would be authorized to prepare
and submit to the Bureau of the Budget
an estimate for the printing and publica-
tion of an annual income tax directory,
to contain the names and addresses of all
persons who, during the year, have filed
income tax returns with the collectors of
internal revenue. These names would be
arranged by States and political sub-
divisions, and each State would have a
separate directory. The directories would
be put on sale at a price to cover the
cost of publication. The measure has
been referred to the Senate Committee on
Finance.

Freight Traffic Increase

A rapid recovery from the recent slump
occasioned in freight loadings, as a result
of the rail and coal strikes, is shown by
figures just issued by the American Rail-
way Association, from reports filed with
the association by the carriers. Loadings
of merchandise and miscellaneous freight,
which includes manufactured products,
during the week ended September 2,
totaled 556,796 cars, an increase of 7493
cars over the loadings of the preceding
week, and of 59,422 cars over the loadings
of the corresponding week last year.

Total loadings of revenue freight dur-
ing the week totaled 931,598 cars. This
represents the greatest amount loaded
during any one week for the last 11
months. It is an increase of 40,760 cars
over the previous week, and an increase
of 100,310 cars over the corresponding
week last year.

Radio in the Business World

Radio as a medium for communicating
to the business world the latest news re-
garding foreign opportunities, in much
the same manner as farmers are now ap-
prised of current weather and market
conditions, may be adopted by the Depart-
ment of Commerce as a result of tests
recently made by the Boston office of the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com-
merce. Reports on inquiries for American
goods from consuls, commercial attaches
and other government representatives in
foreign countries were broadcast from a
radio station near Boston. It was not
anticipated that any noticeable results
would be obtained at first, but the morn-
ing after the first trade broadcast sev-
eral letters of commendation and appre-
ciation were received from New England
firms.

The possibilities of radio as a means
for helping outlying cities to keep in touch
with the offices ot the Bureau are fully
realized by Dr. Julius Klein, director of
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com-
merce, and he has authorized each of the
34 offices to endeavor to complete arrange
ments with some nearby broadcasting
station for a service similar to that insti-
tuted at Boston.

President Harding has reappointed
Thomas O. Marvin ot Massachusetts as a
member of the Tariff Commission. Mr.
Marvin was appointed originally by Presi-
dent Harding to fill out an unexpired
term. He is at present chairman ot the
commission.

To Stop Pilfering

The use of steel box strapping has been
suggested to the Transportation Division
of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce as a possible remedy for the
annual loss from pilferange, which aggre-
gates, in the whole, many millions of
dollars.

Inadequate and flimsy containers have
been an incentive to pilferage, especially
in ocean shipments. A case reinforced
with steel binding is protected against
pilferage, not only while in the posses-
sion of transportation companies, but also
in shippers' premises, with teamsters, in
public warehouses and in receiving de-
partments of consignees. Pilferers in-
variably show a marked preference for
unprotected packages. As a rule, they
must work quickly. Rapid removal of a
steel banding is not possible with the tools
usually at hand, nor can a cut wire or

strap be easily reunited. A mutilated
band is immediate notice that a package
has been tampered with, and every em-
ployee handling shipments knows that if
the bands are not intact he cannot secure
a clean receipt and will be suspected in
case of shortage.

Wire or steel strapping adds to the
strength of the container in a proportion
so far above its slight cost, that a box
designed to carry its load without rein-
forcement can frequently be supplanted by
one having sides, top and bottom of the
next thinner commonly used box lumber,
provided it is adequately reinforced by a
wire or strap binder. The result is usu-
ally a stronger, lighter and less expensive
box. Reports from a large manufacturing
firm, which has adopted this method ot
packing, state that package troubles, both
from damage and pilfering, have, since
the adoption of the new method, decreased
42 per cent during a period in which their
shipments increased 20 per cent.

The Florists Exchange

New Orleans, La.

The Market

There was a decided change for the
better in the florists business this week.
No further slump is contemplated between
now and the Winter season. The days and
nights were pleasant this week in comparison
to the Summer heat that the city has been
experiencing since last April. With the first
breath of cool breezes, vacationists have
turned their steps homeward."

Chrysanthemums continue to come in
from California; the excellent quality and
large sizes noted in the first shipments are
still continuing, and, as a whole, the flowers
are arriving in even better condition, due
to the cooler weather. A ready demand is
being found for this stock as fast as it is
received.

Some home grown Roses are still to be
seen in the retail shops but they are gradually
giving way to the imported samples. Tube-
roses are still going well also. Prices remain
about the same as during the past month.

Florists Show Cooperative Spirit

Inspired by the cooperative ideas as
outlined by Mr. Ammann, the F. T. D.
"cooperative missionarv" before the recent
meeting of the F. T. D.'s in Atlanta, C. W.
Eichling has been successful in conveying a
part of bis enthusiasm to his fellow florists
in New Orleans. As a result, unless some
unforseen happening turns up, local florists
are entering upon an era of progressive co-
operation, that is going to mean a lot toward
furthering the flower selling industry in the
city.

As a beginning toward putting the idea
into practical use, local dealers pooled their
orders for Sphagnum moss and numerous
small needs, making enough to fill an entire
car. As a result an appreciable margin has
been saved by each florist on the actual
purchase price because of their ability to
buy in carload lots and, besides, much was
saved in transportation cost, not considering
the more prompt delivery attention given
to carload lots in comparison to smaller
shipments. And this is only the beginning.
Without exception, every florist who took
part in the "pool" order is enthusiastic over
the idea. What is far more valuable than
the saving of actual cash by placing orders
in this manner, a decided improvement in
fraternal feeling among the craft is seen,
declares Mr. Eichling, who feels grateful of
the results of his efforts toward getting up
the initial order.

The florists are not going to stop at the
cooperative ordering plan. They are about
ready now to start working out a schedule
of cooperative advertising for the Fall and
Winter seasons. In this manner, they are
discarding the oldtime idea of personal sales
and, in its stead they are imbued with the
broader policy of working for the industry
as a whole. It is hoped that the cooperative
advertising will create a broader market for
the products of those fostering the plan; it
will be aimed in a way to create business
that does not usually come to the florist
unsolicited. In other words, the "pool"
plan of publicity will build new business for
each and every florist in the city and for the
industry at large, rather than merely divert
one retailer's business to the shop of a fellow
member of the industry.

Paper Made from Hyacinths

What gives promise of being a profit-
able means of disposing of the dense growths
of Water Hyacinths (Eichornea crassipes)
which are clogging the streams of the South
and more especially Louisiana and Missis-
sippi, is the announcement that paper has
been successfully manufactured from Hya-
cinths by a chemist at Crowley, La., north of
here.

Aside from making a good grade of paper
from the fiber, it has also been shown that
an excellent stock feed can be made from
the foliage if properly cured. Plans are on
foot in that little city for developing the
industry, and if it proves a success there,
there are unlimited opportunities for its
further development in other localities near
here.

Active Florists

There are no idle moments with Max
Scheinuk these days. Aside from the fact
that his retail business has picked up con-
siderably during the past two weeks, he is
producing some excellent stock from his
nursery on Upperline st. and making some
improvements on his alreadv attractive shop
at 2600 St. Charles ave. Mr. Scheinuk will
cut between 20,000 and 25,000 Roses from
his nursery this month, besides a nice supply
of Tuberoses that are now in full bloom.
His Chrysanthemums are now beginning to
bud and he expects to cut severaf thousand
from his own greenhouses during the coming
season. Work is progressing satisfactorily
toward constructing the modern apartments
above Mr. Scheinuk's flower shop, and

within the next few days, the store will be
given a new coat of paint. The outside will
be in ivory and the interior will be white.

The novelty of "nurserydom" in New
Orleans, C. W. Eichling's white Antigonon,
is now blooming beautifully and the original
plant, which bloomed two years ago as a
"freak" among a bunch of the unusual pink
variety, is spreading rapidly. So far as it is
known, this is the only plant, of the kind
growing, and Mr. Eichling says that he has
received inquiries concerning it from all over
the country.

Mr. Eichling also has some nice looking
young Chrysanthemums coming on, and he
is busy preparing for planting a number of
seeds within the next few days.

The Coal Situation in New Orleans

New Orleans florists and growers are
fortunate in that they are not particularly
worried over the prospective coal shortage
this Winter. Because of the mild climate
prevailing in the city throughout the Winter
many flowers are grown without the aid of
heating systems of any. sort. Among these
are Chrysanthemums, one of the principal
flowers in this section. Other flowers are
proving equally as hardy under the mild
climatic conditions. What fuel that will be
needed is going to be obtained easily, most
growers think. New Orleans' principal coal
supply comes from the nearby Alabama
fields, and it is not expected that a shortage
ia output will be felt at those mines, as they
were not so much affected by the recent
strike as were the fields in the central and
eastern states.

The only anxiety being felt is over the
possible rise in prices. In order to combat
this possible increased cost two or three
growers are considering the installation
of oil burning furnaces. However, nothing
has been done in this direction so far, and
since there are at least two inore months
before any damaging weather comes, there
is no particular rush toward installing any-
new system. The dominant attitude seems
to be that of a "watchful waiting" mood.

Columbus, Ga.

Sept. 17. — At last the long continued
drought is broken by two good showers
with prospects of a wet spell. That
is the worst feature about this southern
country; it's either all wet or all dry,
no happy medium. Business is quiet, noth-
ing doing except funeral work and very
little of that.

Outdoor stock is in a sad condition,
but we look for some improvement,
though not enough to insure first class
stock for Fall planting, notably shrubs
and Roses. In cut flowers, Roses- al,
though in some cases they were planted
rather late, are fair. Carnations are
short and small; 'Mums not in yet, al-
though the early varieties are not gen-
erally planted on account of limited sales
as garden flowers are generally plentiful
till late in October. We do not look for
a killing frost till November 8 to 10.
Close planting and lath shading is the only
successful way to grow any flowering
stock: heavy mulching and overhead
sprinkling must be resorted to to insure
any kind of success. The new, stringent
laws regarding selling nursery stock in
this state, will stop the tree agents im-
posing on the public as they have done.

The Joy Flower Shop intends opening
a branch store with flowers and candy.
Rose Hill Greenhouses will also open a
city depot in a part of the City Drug
store. This, with the Wheat & Shelmut
store, makes four. Two years ago there
were none, so there are prospects of some
lively competition to break even.

Trade Notes

Funeral work has been heavy and
the cut flower supply has hardly equaled
the demand.

The Stallings Flower Shop introduced
the first 'Mums of the season when they
displayed a fine vase of Chrysolora. We
were surprised to learn that they had been
shipped from San Francisco, Cal., and the
splendid condition in which they arrived,
shows what possibilities there are for
long distance flower shipping. We might
add that they came in a refrigerator car,
were shipped on Sept. 5 and were re-
ceived on Sept. 11.

The Weinstock Flower Shop is to in-
stall a Lipman ice machine and have also
added a new Dodge truck to their equip-
ment.

John Wolf of Savannah, Ga., spent a
few days in Atlanta, on a prospecting ex-
pedition.

E. G. Carswell of the Joy Floral Co.
was called to Columbus, Miss., by the
death of his wife's mother.

In the Made in Atlanta Exposition
held in the city auditorium this past
week, the Dahl Floral Co. had an inter-
esting wire work display, where their Mr.
Kadler demonstrated that he could make
an37thing which is made of wire.

The Reese Floral Co. of Gainesville,
Ga., have been showing Dahlias in the
window of the Blue Bowl Tea Room this
past week.

The coal situation is considerably re-
lieved by the receipt of several cars of
coal by local growers and the outlook
is brighter for a continuous supply.

The H. G. Hastings Co.

The H. G. Hastings Co., seedsmen,
are planning to greatly increase their
trial grounds at Lovejoy, Ga. Donald M.
Hastings, son of H. G. Hastings, will be in
charge. He is an honor graduate of the
Georgia State College of Agriculture and
has greatly enhanced his technical knowl-
edge by acquiring practical experience
with seedsmen of national reputation. The
• Hastings, farm or plantation, as it is
sometimes called, consists of about 1500
acres, half of which is planted with seed
crop this season. It is planned to add
500 acres to the present plantings. The
location of the farm on the Dixie High-
way and Central of Georgia Ry., and the
peculiar structure of the soil, being a
sandy loam with clay subsoil, make it an
ideal place for a trial ground. Its easy
accessibility brings many visitors during
the season. B. W. S.

Buncombe County Horticultural Ass'n

The second meeting of this associa-
tion was held at the store of Dickinson,
the Florist, Asheville, N. C, on Tuesday,
Sept. 12. By-laws and constitution were
adopted. These were patterned after the
Florists Club of Atlanta.

We are contemplating an aducational
campaign to interest the public in planning
the planting of their home grounds more
carefully, what subjects do best in their
respective positions, paying more heed to
the color blending, height of growth, sea-
son of bloom, etc. We also hope to have
a Fall flower show on a small scale, at
which floral arrangements for the differ-
ent occasions will be featured.

News Items

The local Chamber of Commerce
put on a pageant, in which all the busi-
ness houses took part. All of the florists
were well represented, some using young
ladies to display the made up bouquets,
and one using 11 children, featuring as
many different bouquets. Everyone pro-
nounced it a success, and from the interest
displayed by several thousand people, it
was good advertising.

Another good advertising stunt was
worked by the Morris Shopping Tours.
Two pretty actresses, playing with a stock
company at a local theatre, were carried
to the shop in an automobile, entered as
though shopping, and photogapher takes
picture of them while in the store. Wood
cuts made from these were printed in the
daily paper, with reading matter under-
neath, stating what the star thought of
that particular shop, and what she said
about that' particular line of goods. It
was well gotten up and carried out by the
manager in a good clean manner. It cost
820 to have a picture of one's store with
a writeup beneath. E. C. D.

Louisville, Ky.

News Notes

While the past week has been a
busy one for Louisville, due to the State
Fair, there was not any especially good
results shown in the floral shops of the
city. Business has been fair, but noth-
ing unusual. Hot weather _ and cold
nights are beginning to ruin outdoor
stock, and it will not be long now before
business begins to improve.

A number of florists had nice exhibits
and won prizes at the State Fair, the list
including The Kunzman Floral Co., Henry
Fuchs. William Walker Co., Nanz & Neu-
ner, Jacob Schulz Co., E. L. Kunzman
of New Albany; and Mr. Wiggington of
Louisville, the three latter showing
Dahlias.

R. Pontrich, of Pontrich Brothers, local
florists, as a result of being a good ball

player, and with a good team this season,
has a nice trip in front of him, as the
Epps Colas, his team, won the city cham-
pionship, and a free trip to the World
Series of baseball games, which means
New York as a certainty, as one of the
two New York teams is certain to finish
first in the big league.

Florists are in hopes of being able to
pick up some reasonably priced coal
within the next few weeks, although
prices of steam coal were a little stiffer
the past week, due to car shortage. Some
good mine run coal is being offered now
at around S4 a ton at the mine, and some
screenings as low as $3.75, but good grades
are quoted all the way to $5 and $6 a ton
for mine run, and the majority of florists
are holding off for a weaker market. It
is felt here that while price may be quite
steep this Winter that it will be possible
to secure supplies at a price most any
time.

The State Fair

Florists were strongly in evidence
at the Fair this week. Wm. L. Korb was
judge and the awards he made were gen-
erally conceded right and fair. The
Kunzman Floral Co. was a strong ex-
hibitor and scored four firsts and several
other prizes. Other leading exhibitors
were Nanz and Neuner and Wm. Walker
Co These firms shared most of the dec-
orative classes for pot plants and cut
blooms. Henrv Fuchs won a silver cup
for a 6ft. floral design and also first prize
for a wreath on standing base. Jacob
Schulz Co. won first place with a collec-
tion of evergreens and also with a collec-
tion of Dahlias.

Washington, D. C.

The Market

Sept 18 — Last week was somewhat
better and retailers report that business is
picking up quite satisfactorily. It is a little
earlv vet to make any predictions as to w'hat
the future will bring, but indications are that
with the probability that Congress will re-
convene for a special session in the middle
of November, business this Fall and Winter
will be satisfactory. During the month
retailers have booked orders for a number of
weddings and have had some few fairly good
decorations for September.

This is the hardest time of the year tor the
wholesalers because of their inability to get
manv of the flowers that the retailers take
orders for. An instance of this was when
the wholesalers were compelled to turn down
orders for Lilv of the Valley. There is none
to be had locally, and little can be obtained
from nearby cities unless the retailer is tore-
sighted enough to place his order early.
Some of the producers have not yet started
to cut the new stock Roses and the old
flowers are particularly poor. There is no
particular shortage of Roses and they can
be had as low as SI per 100 for short-stemmed
stock; good Russells are bringing 8>S, Sl^ ana
S15 per 100. . . ,

Orchids are still very scarce; in fact aie
off the market just at present, A few of the
first cut Carnations are to be had, but they
are poor in quality and in no great demand.
Dahlias are now at their best and the growers
as a whole are getting better money for their
blooms because they have been putting more
care into their culture. It is getting late tor
Gladioli, but such as are offered find a market.

The Market

Sept. 19 — The tide is slowly but
surely turning toward good business in the
wholesale market and all indications point
to steady improvement from now on. Asters
are gradually going out; Gladioli have had
their day, with a few late ones still showing.
Dahlias from the sections that have been
favored with timely rains show exhibition
size and color, and the arrivals have greatly
increased. Roses have been benefited by
the cooler nights. Cattleyas continue scarce
locally, but some out of town arrivals eased
up the demands last week; Carnations are
more plentiful, but the bulk of the offerings
are short stemmed. Very few Easter Lilies
coming in from local consignors. A few
Golden Glow Chrysanthemums, but as yet,
no white. Of the outdoor flowers, there are
quantities of Zinnias, Marigolds, Ageratum,
Snapdragon, Cosmos and Gypsophila.

News Notes

We are not much given to boasting
of the achievements of our own flower folks
and when we do so it is in a dignified manner,
but when we walked into the magnificent
new quarters of Samuel Feast & Sons, on
Monday morning, we threw discretion to
the wind and came out ready to tell the
world that it is the most modern of beautiful
flower palaces; if there be a smarter or one
that carries more quiet, artistic elegance in
its conception and appointment in these
Great United States of America, then we
will remove our hat and bend our knee.
The Feast boys' hobby is beautiful sur-
roundings, and they have advanced upon
the trail as time rolled by, but this new
move is a decided departure from the con-
ventional run of retail show places, and we
want to join in most heartily with the con-
gratulations and best wishes that are pouring
n from every side.

The cleverly written opening an-
nouncement of W. E. McKissick, has been
received in letter form by all the trade about
town and has been most favorably com-
mented on. The splendid sincerity of his
long, loyal, and faithful service coupled with
his facilities and up to the minute methods
of handling flowers, will not only carry ap-
preciation of his ability to execute, but
extend, if such a thing could be possible, the
confidence of his many old friends. We have
heard him called "Dependability Mac," by
more than one of our most prominent flo-
rists. Look up the word "dependability,"
it means reliability in an emergency, word
as good as his bond, help you out in a pinch,
service, cooperation and a lot of other good
business stuff. The boys are all with him
and wish him unbounded success. Further-
more, Press Personette, formerly of The
Baltimore Wholesale Florists and Supply
Co., and C. C. Armstrong of Philadelphia,
will be connected with Mac in the capacity
of salesmen. Both these youngsters are in
the live wire division and are hustlers de luxe .

compelled Sieck & Glick to build a new

Buffalo, N. Y.

Trade Brisk, Stock Scarce

During the past week all have been
very busy. Funeral work, with many
weddings and debutante parties have in-
creased the demand. Many of this sea-
son's debutantes are having their com-
ing out parties early this year; it more
than livens business; in'fact, it has been
the busiest early September ever ex-
perienced.

Stock in general is not too plentiful;
Gladioli in variety are much appreciated;
also Asters, but Roses are scarce. The
demand causes great worry these days.
One of the retailers has gone to Phila-
delphia trying to do some good purchasing
on Roses; also helping other stores on
shortage.

The wholesale houses, both W. Kast-
ing Co. and McCallum, are feeling the
shortage. Shortly after noon, it is al-
most impossible to purchase even a small
amount of stock.

Orchids are mostly off crop; wiring and
'phoning out of town is of no avail. The
Toronto growers, too, are off crop for
a couple of weeks.

A few Chrysanthemums were shipped
from California, but not any too wonder-
ful upon reaching their destination. The
weather here being very cool, helps short-
age1 on Rose crop; all would welcome
sunshine, especially growers. Just a few
days would give Roses quite a start.

The street car strike still on, does not
seem to interfere with business; last Sat-
urday some of the stores were busier than
on a cold Winter's day.

The State Fair

Quite a few Buffalo florists visited
the Syracuse State fair. Among the prize
winners were Mioses Beulah flattery
and Mary D'Arcy of Palmers.

The Syracuse State Fair was a won-
derful success, particularly the floral end
of it. Fine exhibits of wedding bou-
quets were displayed. Miss Beulah Slat-
tery of Palmers winning first prize. White
Ophelia Roses and Maidenhair ferns and
Swainsona were used.

The exhibit of corsages wa9 equally as
beautiful, Miss Beulah Slattery taking
first prize again. Aaron Ward Roses
clustered charmingly around an orchid
and lavender Peas tied with lavender
ribbon made an exquisite corsage.

Tha table decoration of Roses were
pleasing; judges were at a loss to choose
the prettiest. However, Mr. Snell of
Quinlan's, Syracuse, took first prize, Miss
Slattery second. With the Dahlia table,
Mr. Snell again won first, Miss Slattery,
second, and Miss Smith, third.

Miss Beulah Slattery won first on table
with shell pink Asters, pink ribbon fin-
ished with Maidenhair ferns. Mary

D'Arcy of Palmer's, took second with or-
chids and pink Asters with green rib-
bon, corsage and boutonnieres to match.
Altogether the florists' displays were su-
perb.

Jottings

Wm. J. Palmer's store on Main
st. had a very pretty window last Satur-
day, being draped in yellow with beauti-
ful vases of yellow Chrysanthemums, the
first of the season.

Professor Lumsden, State Fair super-
intendent, will be in Buffalo Tuesday, vis-
iting surrounding towns.

The out of town guests were enter-
tained by Mrs. W. F. Bultmann and
Mrs. Jessie Guss showing every point of
interest in Syracuse.

Wm. Mark Palmer has returned from
Canada. He later left for Philadelphia,
but is expected back the latter part of
the week. Rose stock being very scarce,
the Leo Niessen Co. of Philadelphia has
helped out nicely.

All the florists have returned from
Summer vacations; they are now much
needed at stores which are wonderfully
busy. Buffalo is a very busy little flower
town. R- B.

Pittsburgh, Pa.

Trade Notes

It begins to look as though the turn
has been made and that from now on, the
flower business will be on the up grade. The
supply tightened up last week on all items
and the cooler weather has helped the quality
to a great extent.

The first of the week found a market loaded
with Asters and Gladioli,' but by Friday
things began to move, and Saturday night
the wholesale houses were practically cleaned
out, the first time for many weeks. Prices
began to move upward, to somewhere near
the value of the stock. The Aster shipments
fell off considerably during the week, and
by the looks of the stock received, their
season must be about over. The supply of
Gladioli is smaller and they are cleaning up
daily. Some of the stock shows the effect
of the dry weather in the fact that they
are short and stunted.

American Beauty is in limited supply, but
the quality is improving. The supply of
Roses is small and will likely remain that
way for some time ; most of the Rose growers
do not like to compete with the 'Mums.
Dahlias are now a big factor and are moving
nicely; the quality was never better. The
demand for Lilies exceeds the supply with
the result that the price is high.

The Carnation supply is on the increase
and the quality is improving rapidly. A
few Delphinium and Gaillardia are still to
be had at reasonable prices. Chrysanthe-
mums are beginning to show, and it will not
be long until they dominate the market, but
from all reports, there will not be any over-
supply.

News Notes

Warren W. Maytrott, the Dahlia
expert of Vineland, N. J., made a short visit
to Pittsburgh last week. Mr. Maytrott
reports the largest and finest crop of Dahlias
in several years. The McCallum Co. handle
his product in the Pittsburgh district. Mr.
Maytrott was much impressed with the size
and beauty of the Pittsburgh retail store
and when you get down to brass tacks, they
are hard to beat with the A. W. Smith
Flower Stores Co., Mrs. E. A. Williams and
MeClements in the downtown section, and
Randolph & MeClements, The Zieger Co.
G. P. Weaklin, and The Alpha Floral Co.
in the East end, and others too numerous
to mention. Pittsburgh sure can be proud
of her retail florist establishments.

Miss Emma Maxwell of Wilkinsburg, is
again back on the job and reports having
spent a fine vacation. She reports the Fall
business as having opened up in earnest.

No matter what time of the day you visit
Randolph & MeClements, they are always
busy, and their big store always looks attrac-
tive. Sam MeClements is usually there to
give the visitor the glad hand.

The Zieger Co. have remodeled and
painted the interior of their store and it
surely looks fine.

The G. P. Weaklin Co., while they have
been in their new store for some time, have
not quite finished with the painting and
decorating, but expect to finish in time to
have a formal opening about the first week
in October.

Mrs. E. A. Williams reports a busy week,
which they ended right by executing an
order for a blanket on Saturday.

The trade will all be glad to hear that
De Forest Ludwig is showing some improve-
ment, and we will all be glad when he is
back on the job. E.C.Tipton.

Horticultural Building for New York
State

The New York Federation of Horticultural Socie-
ties and Garden Clubs is continuing its efforts toward
securing a specially designed building for horticul-
ture in the New York State Fair Grounds at Syra-
cuse.

At the meeting of the Federation recently a strong
committee, with F. R. Pierson as chairman, was ap-
pointed to carry the views of commercial and ama-
teur horticulturists when the subject comes before
the State Assembly.

Commissioner Henry K. Williams, who is an en-
thusiastic horticulturist, has announced his intention
of recommending the erection of a three million dollar
building, solely for horticultural products, and bee
exhibits.

Making the Most of Your Coal

In his current Notes for Rose Growers (see this
issue) Eber Holmes points out the fallacy of a
"pennywise, pound foolish" policy that many of us
may be tempted to adopt this Fall. Do not, he says
in effect, be niggardly in using your coal the moment
it becomes time to do so, in the hope of making your
limited supply last longer. Better, he says, to keep
your houses thoroughly warm so your plants will
make maximum growth and be in the best' possible
condition when— and if— you get ample fuel later on,
than to carry them along in a shivering, sickly state
from which they will never recover, no matter how
hard you force them later. In other words, play the
game as hard as you can and as well as you can as
long as you can— if, then, conditions force defeat
upon you, it will, at least, be an honorable defeat
and you can enjoy the satisfaction of having done
your best. On the other hand, if things break right
and success crowns your efforts, your reward will be
ample and complete.

Good philosophy this, for Rose growers and all the
rest of us, too.

A Harsh Sentence— A negro charged with stealing a watch
had been arraigned before the court. The judge was not con-
vinced that he was guilty and said: "You are acquitted Sam "
'Acquitted," repeated Sam doubtfully. "What do you mean
Judge?" "That's the sentence; you are acquitted." Still
looking somewhat confused, Sam said: "Judge, does dat mean
I have to give the watch back?" — Christian Evangelist.

Fuel Administration to Safeguard Florists

Gratifying, encouraging and thoroughly satisfac-
tory is the response of Federal Fuel Administrator
Harry B. Spencer to the S. A. F. resolution and ap-
peal presented to him by Win. F. Gude. Not only does
it officially forecast better times and less danger of
anything approaching a coal famine, but also it defi-
nitely promises that the emergency needs of any flo-
rist will be given prompt consideration, to the extent,
if necessary, of advancing him into a class of higher
priority. In other words, Uncle Sam has said that
no florist need suffer the loss of his stock through
freezing, so long as there is fuel in the country and
facilities for moving it.

With this assurance on record (and it was secured
largely by the prompt, direct and intelligent action of
the S. A. F.) one responsibility devolves all the more
heavily upon members of the trade. This is, that they
shall use the utmost restraint and good judgment in
appealing for the special assistance promised. In
other words, let no florist call for help until abso-
lutely and vitally in need of it. Up to that time let
him run his plant with the utmost care and economy,
complying scrupulously with all fuel conservation
regulations, and realizing that the farther he makes
his coal go, the more there will be to go 'round and
the less chance there will be of any one individual
getting into difficulties.

The florist, then, may well feel that a great load
has been lifted from his mind, a huge cause for ap-
prehension eliminated. In these circumstances he can
look forward to 1923 with new courage, new ambition,
new determination to make the coming year note-
worthy and productive beyond all precedent, not only
for himself and his business, but for American horti-
culture as a whole.

Federal Fuel Distributer.
Mr. William F. Gude,

Washington Representative,

Society American Florists and Ornamental
Horticulturists,

1214 F Street, Northwest,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir :

Referring to our recent conference and your
favor of Sept. 7, enclosing copy of resolution
adopted at the convention of the Society of
American Florists and Ornamental Horticul-
turists, held at Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 17,
1922:

As you doubtless know, since the end of
the coal strike, coal production has rapidly
been approaching normal and the conditions
have changed so much since the date on which
your society held its convention (Aug. 17)
that the florists should not now have diffi-
culty in obtaining sufficient coal to prevent
the freezing of the plant material in green-
houses.

It is hoped that within a short time the
conditions with respect to coal production will
be such that all priority restrictions may be
removed. However, if, in the interim, any
of the florists find themselves in urgent need
of coal which they are unable otherwise to
obtain, and they will advise us fully, we will
give consideration to advancement to Class 2
priority to meet the emergency in individual
cases of this kind that may arise, and prevent
freezing.

Yours truly,
(Signed) H. B. Spencee.
Federal Fuel Distributer.

I. C. C. Abolishes Preferences in Coal
Transportation

(Special to The Florists Exchange)

Washington, D. C, Sept. 19.— The Interstate Com-
merce Commission has ordered the abolition after
Sept. 20 of preference in the transportation of coal
for specified classes of users. Hereafter, coal as
offered by the mines will be moved to consumers
without regard to the use to which it is to be put.
^ William F. Gude, national representative of the
S. A. F. and O. H„ who has been keeping close watch
on the coal and railroad situations, has been thus
informed by the Commission, and also that the latter
has added to the list of commodities to be given

preferential treatment by the railroads, among other
things, fertilizers and seeds.

The Commission states, however, in the matter of
raising the prohibition on the free movement of fuel,
that while the preference list has been abolished, in
the event of an emergency calling for help from it for
some particular user or class of users of coal, the
Commission will issue special orders for preferred
transportation to cover such a situation.

Tariff Bill Passes Senate

President's Signature Alone Needed to Put New
Rates in Effect

(Special to The Florists Exchange)

Washington, D. O, Sept. 19. — The Senate by a
vote of 43 to 2S has adopted the conference report
on the McCumber-Fordney tariff bill. This measure
will now be signed by the Speaker of the House of
Representatives and the President pro tempore of
the Senate (in the absence of Vice-president Coolidge),
and will then be sent to the President for his en-
dorsement. At this writing it is expected that the
President will sign the bill as soon as it is presented
to him and that it will go into effect at midnight of
Thursday, Sept. 21.

As the bill will appear among the statutes, the rates
on articles in which the trade is interested will be
as reported in The Exchange last week (page 722).

Heat for the Greenhouse

The question of getting heat into the greenhouses
this Fall and Winter overshadows all trade problems.
The situation may well be regarded in a more serious
light than the coal problem which confronted the
trade during the Great War, when with ample supply
of coal above the mines, the chief trouble was lack
of transportation facilities. This season coal in suffi-
cient quantities to go around has not even been
mined, while the latest information is to the effect
that, despite all promises, the railroads are not in
position, or condition, to handle it expeditiously when
it is ready for shipment.

True, there exists an embargo on the transporta-
tion of certain items so as to give coal the right of
way over the railroads, but the most optimistic can
only extract from this the possibility of small help
iu the whole situation.

We do not believe it is necessary to remind our
great army of readers of the articles that we have
been publishing on the situation in our last two issues.
Our investigations have, of course, furnished us with
much helpful material, which we will be glad to pass
on to all inquiring subscribers.

Briefly it seems to us that it has been fully estab-
blished that heating by oil is the sane way out for
those who cannot, with a fair degree of certainty,
see a supply of coal sufficient for their needs this
Winter. We would possibly exclude greenhouse men
using 50 to 200 tons of coal a season. Our advice to
them would be to look into the matter of having
kerosene heaters installed in their boilers. Wood, of
course, is not as practical, for the reason that con-
stant firing is absolutely imperative, and this advice
may be extended, for the present, to the greenhouse
men using up to 300 tons of coal. Above that mark,
it will pay to install an oil burning apparatus, one
of course, that has been thoroughly tested out through
the fire of trial.

We must confess that our investigation of the ap-
plication of oil for florist greenhouse requirements
has revealed to us rather a surprising number of
greenhouse establishments that have 'been utilizing
this method for the past one or two years. Our Bos-
ton letter, in our Sept. 9 issue recorded that M. Ern-
est Moore, of Lexington (Mass.), has been using fuel
oil for the past two years to heat half of his range
of 150,000ft. of glass ; further, that he is installing oil
equipment in the other half at the present moment.

In our issues of Sept. 16, our Pawtucket representa-
tive tells of four installations in greenhouses operat-
ing at the present time. The Budlong Rose Co., Au-
burn, R. I., our correspondent also advised, is using oil
in their large range. It must be remembered that
our Pawtucket correspondent writes of actual, not
potential installations, so that his conclusions carry
weight. The advantages he mentions are: A marked
economy of fuel, saving in labor, quicker steaming
boilers, with an increased boiler capacity, and a more
steady, even and dependable heat result.

Calling to mind the usage of oil by other equally
important industries, one can hardly avoid asking
oneself why not the greenhouse man? There are
problems attached, of course, but life in every direc-
tion is surely a problem. The solving of these prob-
lems is left to man's ingenuity. Fortunately for the
greenhouse man, who has not as yet changed to the
more modern form of heating, his early problems havo
been solved.

of Chicago, and the Southern Florist, of Fort Worth,
Texas, have all commented on the practical and upto-
date methods used by Mr. Horgan.

He says he attributes his success to being liberal at
all times and to the fact that he has the best wife in
the world.

Why Favor the Farmer?

The latest farmer's aid bill to be introduced in
Congress is doubtless well iutentioned and, as viewed
by all who may have occasion to benefit by it, highly
necessary and justifiable. We refer to the proposal
of Senator Harreld of Oklahoma that the Govern-
ment appropriate $500,000 to be lent to farmers for
the purchase of seed.

This prompts the question, Why restrict the Gov-
ernment's money lending activities to the farmers?
Their success and livelihood, it may be said, depend
upon the fickle, uncontrollable weather ; but so, for
that matter, do the profits of the florist, the nursery-
man, the seed grower. Why not plan to stake them
to a crop or two, on the assumption that in a year
or two or three they will realize enough to pay back
the advance? The very fact that they often have to
wait several seasons for their crop to mature makes
such aid seem all the more warranted.

It is interesting to note that "a first lien on the
crop to be produced from the seed bought with the
borrowed funds is deemed sufficient security." Gen-
erous terms, surely. Is there any other class of bor-

Dan C. Horgan of Macon, Ga,

Dan Horgan, Doer of the Impossible

That is the way they refer to him down in his
home town of Macon, Ga., as you will note from the
following story of his life and work, as published
in the Macon News of Sept. 10. The article appeared
under the general title of "Successful Macon Men
Who Help to Build City," but readers of The Ex-
change, while they will not question his usefulness
in Macon, will continue to think of him and admire
him more because of the service he has rendered
over a far larger field — namely that of better horti-
culture throughout the Southland and the United
States as a whole.

The article from the News is as follows :

Dan C. Horgan has the unique distinction of being
called upon by the various organizations of Macon,
when they want a man who can put over a real hard
job. He has been sucessful in so many jobs that
seemed impossible, it has become a byword in Cham-
ber of Commerce circles that he is a "go-getter" in
civic affairs.

He has been a member of the local chamber since
entering business in Macon, has served on some of the
most important committees and never has been known
to fail in responding to any cry for assistance the
chamber has sent out. When the organization has
held banquets, the tables are decorated with the
flowers from the Idle Hour Nurseries, of which he
is owner. The Idle Hour Country Club has been a
real hobby with Mr. Horgan. He was among the
first to organize and build the institution which is
now one of the prides of Macon and has been one of
the most responsible in its maintenance.

Dan C. Horgan was born Oct. 27, 1874, at Richmond,
Va. He gained his education at St. Charles College
of Baltimore, Md., graduating at the age of 16. When
Mr. Horgan bought the present nurseries 22 years
ago they were known as the Plant Nurseries and
were run on a small scale. He took hold of the
business and all he made he used in improvements.
The nursery is now recognized as one of the greatest
in the Southeast and orders are received here from
all over the United States.

The greenhouses now comprise 25 buildings with
100,000 sq. ft, of glass. Some of the most difficult
flowers to raise, as well as the most expensive, are
available here the year around. Having orchids on
the market here at all times is evidence of Mr. Hor-
gan's ambition to give Macon the best. Flowers have
been supplied to Mrs. Howard Taft, Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson, Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Mrs. Pierpont Mor-
gan and others equally as distinguished from tha
Idle Hour Nurseries.

In the 22 years that Mr. Horgan has been here ha
has gained an enviable reputation all over the coun-
try as a 'florist. He is a vice-president of the Ameri-
can Florists Society of Georgia and former vice-presi-
dent of the Florists Telegraph Delivery Association.
The local nurseries have been written about in the
most important florist magazines and trade journals
in the country which criticized them favorably : The

rower that could secure the like? Would the Govern-
ment, we wonder, or any other repository of wealth
consider loaning a plantsman money with which to
buy a stock of Rhododendron ponticum seedlings in
Europe for importation after treatment according to
F. H. B. regulations, said plants to represent security
for the loan?

What is still more to the point, would the F. H. B.,
we wonder, approve a loan based on these terms? We
wonder; and again we wonder; and all the while
our first question finds itself unanswered, namely :
Why Federal aid for the farmer and not for the- florist ?
Why, outside of calamity, Federal aid for anybody?

Granville Gude, Oarsman

Granville Gude, of Washington, D. C, a son of
Wm. F., a member of the firm of Gude Brothers Co.,
and as a life member of the S. A. F., is a shining
example of those who "Say it with Flowers," but just
at the present time his generous meed of fame results
from his prowess in the art of "Do it with oars."

The story of how this 19-year-old youngster, after
only a couple of years of rowing experience and six
weeks of special coaching, proceeded to wiu three
medals in one afternoon and draw down upon him-
self the eyes of the entire rowing world, was told last
week in our Washington newsletter (page 722.) This
week, however, we are able to reproduce his picture,
and that of the three trophies which he annexed in
such whirlwind, unexpected fashion. These are the

Trophies of Granville Gude. All three won in pne

first prizes in the junior, the intermediate and the

at Baltimore on Sept. 10.

This series of achievements is, by itself, an accom-
plishment of which any man might well be proud.
But young Gude takes it as but a step to higher things,
among them his intention to attempt the dethroning
of Walter Hoover, of Detroit, present world's cham-
pion, and one of the greatest oarsmen today. The
sporting world in general and the florists' world, in
particular, will make no mistake in keeping their
eyes upon this bright luminary that has only just
appeared on the horizon.

Daniel K. Herr

Daniel K. Herr, of Lancaster, Pa., an old time flo-
rist, died from a complication of diseases at the
St. Joseph Hospital Saturday morning, Sept. 16. He
is survived by one son, Albert M. Herr, and one grand-
son, Daniel Irwin Herr.

About 20 years of his early life was spent in the
milling business, followed by 25 years as a market
gardener and florist, during which time he became
well known to the trade. For a number of years he
grew annuals by the thousand as transplanted stock
and, later, went into the rooted cutting business,
paying special attention to large leaved fancy Coleus,
of which he introduced many varieties. About 20
years back he retired from business.

At the time of his death he was 85 years of age,
maintaining his full physical and mental faculties up
to within a few days of his decease.

Mr. Herr was a member of the Mennonite Church
and a great religious student all his life. He also
served as minister in the Reformed Mennonite Church
for a number of years. A. M. H.

Alfred H. Wingett

Alfred H. Wingett, for 35 years superintendent of
Allen Winden, the estate of Charles Lanier, Esq., at
Lenox, Mass, passed away as the result of heart fail-
ure, following a brief illness on Wednesday, Aug. 30.
He was well known among the gardening fraternity
and his death came as a shock to his immediate
friends. He was big hearted, jovial and a good
friend, and his loss is much regretted in this vicin-
ity where he was always popular.

He leaves a wife by his second marriage, a mar-
ried daughter and a sister in this country, besides
several brothers and sisters in Ivybridge, Devonshire,
Eng.

He was twice president of the Lenox Horticul-
tural Society, and on two occasions representative to
the State Board of Agriculture. He also took a live
interest in civic affairs. His funeral was held from
Trinity Episcopal Church, the services at the grave
in the Lenox Cemetery being conducted by the
Berkshire Commandery, Knights Templar, of which
he was a member. He was also a past master of
Evening Star Lodge, A. F. & A. M., and took a great
interest in Masonic work. The many floral emblems
proved his popularity in the community.

The Florists Exchange

Massachusetts Horticultural Society and Dahlia
Society of New England

Joint Dahlia Exhibition, Boston, Sept. 9 and 10

THE Dahlia Society of New England and the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society held their
Dahlia exhibitions simultaneously on Saturday
and Sunday, Sept. 9 and 10, in Horticultural Hall,
Boston. There was a mass formation of Dahlias,
such as was never seen before in Boston; the ex-
hibitors of both societies had sent their best. Al-
though a heavy rain and wind storm occurred one
and two days before the show and spoiled many a
promising bloom, there was little, if any, evidence of
the calamity. Almost all of the many classes sched-
uled were strongly contested and the judges found it
no easy task to pick the winners, so nearly even were
the exhibits. Not only was there an unusual num-
ber of entries, but the number of varieties exhibited
was .almost beyond belief and included all the latest
acquisitions from all parts of the country.

Many of the outstanding varieties of the last two
or three years were conspicuous by their absence and
their place was taken up with new introductions.
Blooms of immense size seem to enjoy great popu-
larity still but several breeders have given much
thought to the production of flowers which can show
a good, strong stem and are posed properly thereon.
The weak and crooked stem, also the short stem, is
condemned more than ever, and will have to give
place to a stem which shows the flower to the best
advantage and makes it a fit subject for decoration,
no matter how it is employed. New crosses (hybrids,
so-called) between Cactus, Decorative and Peony
flowered varieties are still being produced in great
numbers and are disputing for places in the public
favor.

Although the weather man did not do his best dur-
ing the two days of the exhibition (it rained quite
frequently and often very hard) the public showed its
appreciation of its favorite flower by filling the halls
completely from the start. A stroll in the suburbs or
in the country towns and villages, brings home the
fact that the flower lover takes kindly to the Dahlia
and keeps well posted as to the new and best varieties.
Dahlias may be seen in almost every garden or yard.
Not only the common sorts of mother's time, but the
latest and best introductions. In the halls, during
the show, the public showed admirable and keen in-
terest, asking all sorts of questions and industriously
taking notes or making comparisons.

The exhibits of the Dahlia Society of New England
filled the big hall completely, but much fault was
rightfully found with the arrangements. It developed
that on account of unforeseen circumstances, the par-
ties who were expected to take charge of the arrange-
ments were not present and consequently was a com-
plete and serious mixup. The flowers were properly
labeled but no signs denoting the classes could be
seen, nor were there any names of exhibitors dis-
played nor award cards. Under these circumstances
the reporter cannot be blamed if his report is more
or less sketchy. He tried his best to untangle the
muddle. The Dahlia Society of New England will
do well to revise its methods.

The exhibits of the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety were shown in the lecture hall. They were not
so numerous as might have been expected nor were
all the classes represented.

Fottler, Fiske & Rawson made a fine display of
well arranged flowers which filled several tables; it
contained a large number of the very best varieties of
Dahlias and Gladioli.

Slocombe's Dahlia Gardens (Emma Slocombe) dis-
played several vases of the wonderful Maid of the
Mist, which was considered one of the greatest at-
tractions of the show ; also Winfield Slocombe, Lorna
Slocombe, Charity Slocombe, Edith Slocombe, Mans-
field Slocombe, Mrs. E. M. Slocombe, and Rosa Bon-
heur.

Other prominent exhibitors were Ira J. Champlin,
Wm. N. Dewing, Quannapowitt Dahlia Gardens; Ed-
win E. Jones, Wm. H. Cruff, Mrs. C. B. Benedict, L. N.
Davis, L. F. Niessen, and Charles J. Morton, who
showed 227 varieties.

Have-a-Look Gardens (Geo. L. Fish) made quite a
sensation with Have-a-look Pearl, a new seedling pos-
sessing a very strong and long stem. It is a creamy
white with lavender tips. Have-a-look Esther is also
a fine flower, cerise and of excellent form. There
were a number of other notable introductions from
this well-known breeder.

Thomas J. Murphy exhibited on well arranged tables
some 200 varieties of finest quality and form.
Among these The World's Best White was greatly
admired on account of its fine form and pure color.
This variety bids fair to become a grand commer-
cial Dahlia, having a stem ISin. to 21in. long and stiff
enough to easily hold the 6in. or Tin. bloom.

The largest and best collection of named varieties,
one vase of each, all classes permissible, brought out
four competitors who set up notable displays, each
filling one long table. The first prize was captured by
Edwin M. Gerould, who showed about 100 vases of
fine blooms of the best varieties. Second prize was
taken by Edgar Wm. Darling with a splendid show
of blooms.

T. H. Hughes, New Bedford, exhibited about 150
fine varieties, all of which showed superior merit and
filled one whole side of the hall. Among them were
to be found The Bashful Giant, Mrs. J. De Ver War-
ner, Judge Marean, Elsie Oliver, A. C. Lawrence,
Amun Ra, Rosemawr, Dakota, Kitty Dunlap, Setting
Sun, Pride of New Bedford, a mammoth white of fine
form and a large number of Judge Marean varieties.

Joseph Breck & Sons received a silver medal for a
meritorious display, which contained over 200 vases
among which the new Mrs. Calvin Coolidge stood out
most prominently. This novelty will be introduced
in 1923. It is a Peony flowered Dahlia of large size
and fine form with extra wide petals. The color is a

solid rosy mauve, glowing and very attractive. It
should meet with instant favor.

Norman and Hazel Anderson, Geo. Gill, D. H. Gruff.
E. F. Dwyer & Son, Mrs. C. D. Benedict and G. L,
Fish were awarded Honorable Mention for displays
of seedlings or of a decorative character.

Henry Comley, Park st, was the only exhibitor ol
cut Dahlias arranged in a basket. His exhibit ol
large blooms in a white wicker basket trimmed
with Asparagus and green chiffon was very tasteful,
giving an idea of how well Dahlias are adapted foi
such a purpose.

Loren D. Towle showed a fine specimen of Loelio-
Cattleya Colemaniana, for which a certificate was
awarded.

Wm. E. Clark showed a vase of the beautiful Glad-
iolus "Frederick C. Peters."

President Pierson gave a report of the conference
held by the Federal Horticultural Board in Washing-
ton, D. C, May 15, 1922, and presented the resolutions
then recommended by the S. A. F. and O. H. for con-
sideration by the Federation. As the Federation has
already gone on record regarding its attitude toward
Quarantine 37, no definite action was taken.

David Lumsden, horticulturist with the F. H. B.,
outlined the activities of the Board, and explained
restrictions imposed by Quarantine 37.

Horticultural Hall Wanted

The needs of the horticultural interests of New
York State for a building on the Fair Grounds ade-
quate to display the varied products, was discussed.
Dr. Erl Bates stated the history of the project of the

NEVER within the memory of the oldest fair pa-
tron was the display of cut flowers, ferns and
foliage plants, more varied or beautiful than
this year. Not only was considerably more space oc-
cupied but the quality was superior to that shown in
other years.

The flowers were shown on long tables across the
Manufacturers Building ; Gladioli, Asters and Dahlias !
predominated, but the display of other annuals and j
perennials was much larger than in previous years.
Practically every flower that can be made to bloom
during the Fall months was represented. The Syra-
cuse Rose Society had a very fine display of Roses;
this was especially creditable considering the extreme
rainfall of the past month. In addition, there was a
splendid display of cut Roses from greenhouses. Table
decorations, bridal bouquets and corsages added to
the interest of the exhibit.

The Syracuse florists are noted for their hospitality
but never was this demonstrated more clearly than
at the banquet which they served at Barnum's Hotel,
Three Rivers. N. Y. As soon as the clan could be
transported in automobiles from the Fair Grounds,
the orchestra struck up "Hail ! Hail ! ! The Gang's
All Here." and Werner Bultmann as "Champion Light-
weight," led the 75 members and guests to the din-
ing room, where the tables were lively with frogs legs
and other relicacies. Erl Bates as "Champion Heavy-
weight" brought up the rear of the procession and
was also right there at the end of the "eats." There
was also plenty to drink of "that which exhilarates
but does not inebriate." Between courses, songs were
sung and the evening was full of wholesome wit and
good cheer. It was proof of the truthfulness of a re-
mark made by an Englishman, "There's nothing equal
to the jolly, good nature of a company of your Ameri-
can florists when they get down to a dinner."

The Business Meeting

The tenth annual meeting of the Federation was
held in the office of the Commissioner of Agriculture
at the New York State Fair Grounds, Sept. 13, 1922.

The meeting was called to order at 2 p.m. with
President F. R. Pierson presiding. In the absence
of Secretary A. H. Nehrling who was in Europe, E. A.
White acted as secretary. Sixteen delegates were
present from the affiliated societies, C. E. Haw and
Professor H. W. Schneck serving as delegates from
the New York State Vegetable Growers Association.

The minutes of the Winter meeting held at the Col-
lege of Agriculture, Ithaca, N. Y., were read and ap-
proved. In the absence of the treasurer the following
report was read and accepted :

building program in years past, and it was the opinion
of all present that the horticultural interests should
urgently request that the Fair Commissions insert
in the forthcoming financial budget, an item suffi-
ciently large to provide for a building to house the
fruit, flowers, vegetables and other horticultural ex-
hibits; also the exhibit of the Beekeepers Associa-
tion. Professor Schneck and Mr. Haw stated that the
New York Vegetable Association would heartily sup-
port such a request and said their organization
planned to take definite action on the project at the
annual meeting, Sept. 14, 1922.

A motion was carried providing for a committee
of six whose duty it is to get in touch with all other
State horticultural organizations with a view to
securing concerted action on the project. The secre-
tary was instructed to request a hearing for this com-
mittee before the New York State Fair Commission
at the time they are making their financial budget
for 1923. Appointed on this committee were Presi-
dent F. R. Pierson, Tarrytown ; Secretary Arno H.
Nehrling, Ithaca ; Treasurer W. A. Adams, Buffalo ;
F. A. Danker, Albany ; Erl A. Bates, Syracuse ; W. F.
Bultmann, Syracuse. It was voted, "that the com-
mittee be empowered to formulate such a program
as will insure an adequate building in which to
house the great horticultural exhibits of New York
State."

It was also voted : "That the Federation cooperate
with the New York State Horticultural Society in
making an attractive floral exhibit at the annual
meeting of the society in Rochester in January, and
that a meeting of the Federation be held at the time
of the annual meeting of the society."

Dr. E. S£ Mills made a report of progress on the
organization of amateur floricultural societies. The
chain of such societies has extended across Northern
New York, and it is now proposed to add an addi-
tional link at either end and form societies in Buf-
falo and Albany. Such societies act as advance agents
for the commercial floricultural interests of the
State.

W. F. Bultmann, on behalf of the Syracuse Florists
Association, extended an invitation to the delegates
for a dinner at Barnum's Hotel, Three Rivers, N. Y.,
for 5.30 p.m. The Federation extended a hearty vote
of thanks to the Syracuse Association for this hos-
pitality. The meeting adjourned at 4 p.m.

Greater Newark Dahlia Show

Sporting Trade Growers Make It Successful

WWWVVVVVT

NEWARK, N. J., is a live city ; it has some fine
streets and excellent shops. It has a popula-
tion of no small dimensions and, on a warm
September day, the pedestrian traffic on the leading
thoroughfares might deceive one into thinking he was
on Sixth ave., New York. But, in the daytime at least,
very few of these wanderers appear to be interested
in a flower show ; at least that's as this writer found
it during the morning and early afternoon of Sept.
14, and hearsay had it that even in the opening day,
previous, the attendance was not such as called for a
traffic "cop" in the neighborhood of the Globe Indem-
nity Building, Washington place. And it wasn't for
the lack of early announcements ; the publicity agents
for the show had let the horticultural world know
weeks before that Newark intended to have the first
big Dahlia display ever attempted in New Jersey to
last four days to wit, from Sept. 13 to 16.

Need for Local Publicity

Maybe the publicity department overlooked the
people of Newark ; at all events, when this writer
arrived via the electric, he failed to see any across
the road signs or show cards to indicate that Newark
was featuring anything unusual. The only indica-
tion was a beautiful window display of King of the
Autumn Dahlias at Hahne & Co.'s, one of the city's
leading department stores. A card here urged people
not to fail to visit the show. Even outside the show
building itself there was little to draw attention of
passersby ; indeed not until some time after the doors
were open was there a card. Maybe this was to mis-
lead the flies and mosquitoes hanging around in the
park opposite. Being a little early, I found a seat
therein and thereby learned something of Newark
flies, which seemingly possess teeth capable of pene-
trating even the poor quality socks that I am com-
pelled to wear. However, this is a report of the
show.

A General Survey

From a competition point of view it was somewhat
disappointing. Many of the classes were not filled
and some of the others were sparsely contested. The
amateur element was not nearly so strong as might
have been expected ; indeed, had it not been for the
trade exhibits, the show would not have equaled
those of many small towns in the neighborhood of
New York. As it was, the show was excellent. The
two large halls were almost completely filled and, let
me say, the floor space in this fine building is almost
ideal for a flower show. Sufficiently lighted without
the need of artificial, and covering 20,000 sq. ft., the
halls could scarcely be better. Even New York could
do with such a building for its minor flower shows.

Julius Roekrs Co. Renders Service

Abundance of tall Cedars and other evergreens,
kindly provided by the Julius Roehrs Co., were ar-
ranged about the halls. The Rutherford firm further
filled about one-third of one hall with a series of rock
bounded groups of evergreens of all descriptions.
These were backed by a small booth where collec-
tions of Rose bushes, shrubs, Rhododendrons, etc.,
were displayed. These were the actual collections
offered by the firm on the Ten-Ten scheme. Large
reproductions of these catalog offers provided all the
needful information. An excellent idea and splen-
didly carried out. Better Rose bushes than these,
one could not wish to see; all budded on multiflora,
on the firm's own grounds and maidens at that, not
cut backs.

The big commercial class 100 varieties was an easy
win for W. W. Kennedy & Son, Red Bank, N. J.
Among their best blooms were : Ballet Girl, C. ; Wini-
fred Slocombe, D. ; Princess Pat, D. ; Jersey's Queen,
D. ; Judge Marean, D. ; Geo. Walters, C. ; and Par-

thos, a striking mauve Decorative. This, we believe,
is new from Europe. Alt. F. Clark, Netcong, N. J.,
took second with much inferior flowers.

Dietz & Trivett Co., N. Y., scored with a general
display covering over 100 sq. ft. The stand, being
covered with black velvet, showed up the flowers
strongly. They were staged individually with the
background filled with vases of blooms. Specially
fine varieties were : Judge Marean ; Violetta, a giant,
purple Cactus ; Emperor, Jersey's Queen, orange
salmon : Jersey's King, crimson ; Mrs. W. A. Dietz,
pink ; Mrs. Trivett, rose pink and Mrs. I. de Ver
Warnaar.

The writer was at times nonplussed by the fact
that some of the prize cards bore no indication of the
class; such an instance was on the exhibit of the
Blue Ribbon Dahlia Co., Haddon Heights, N. J. This
display, presumably not above 50 sq. ft., was nicely
set up in glass vases, on flat tables. The blooms were
fresh and included all types. First was awarded to
this exhibit.

Stewart & Fisher, Trenton, N. J., scored with a
100ft. display. Big baskets of the latest novelties
were staged, especially fine being several of the
Marean varieties. The group was well set off with
ferns, etc. The same firm won the Doolittle prize
with a novelty named Anticipation. Our anticipation
is that it will not be a popular sort unless it shows
better form in the future. This firm also scored with
50 blooms.

Hilton Dahlia Farm, Hilton, N. J., scored second
in the latter class.

Alt. F. Clark scored with 12 Singles, 12 collarettes,
12 any one variety and a basket of Pompons ; also
second with 12 Decoratives, 12 Cactus, 12 Show and
12 Peony; there were no other competitors. All the
blooms were small and would not have stood a chance
in strong competition.

Private Entries Sparse

The gardeners' classes were not strongly contested,
but some grand flowers were shown in several classes
by Judge A. I. Elkins, Red Bank, N. J. ; Fred Freling-
huysen, Elberon, N. J. ; Fred Klinger, Lawrence,
L. I., and Mrs. A. B. Jenkins, W. Orange. The Short
Hills, N. J., Garden Club alone competed in the club
class, showing fine flowers, but the cardboard vases
served the blooms badly. This type of vase for ex-
hibition purposes is an abomination, but seemingly it
is favored by many, both trade and amateur. Mrs.
Chas. H. Stout exhibited a collection of her own seed-
lings and a very good basket also, although we
rather preferred the basket of Cactus Mrs. Cooper,
shown by C. W. Kinsey, of South Orange.

The miscellaneous flower classes were practically
ignored. Julius Roehrs Co. alone showed a small
collection of orchids, gaining first, while with Glad-
ioli Walter H. Rice, Runison, N. J., had a walkover.
Some 25 splendid vases were shown.

Trade Displays

As stated, the trade exhibits made the show. T. C.
Kevitt, Athenia. N. J., exhibited Grape vines four
months old carrying one or two bunches of fruit, one
plant being at least 20ft. long. His new everbearing
White Raspberry was also prominent.

Chas. H. Totty Co. had a good stand filled with a
good collection of uptodate Dahlias. Michaelmas
Daisies,' Delphiniums, in variety and several vases of
the new America Rose were also prominent. The
Roses were specially fine.

Hahne & Co., Florists, Newark, displayed a good
church decoration with altar. White and yellow
'Mums, yellow Gladioli, Celosias, ferns and palms
were tastefully used.

Wm. C. Duckham, Madison, N. J., exhibited a
splendid vase of mixed Delphiniums as fine as In
Midsummer.

A small collection of Dahlias was shown by the
Fairmount Dahlia Gardens, Hackensack, N. J., while
the Henshaw Floral Co., New York and Newark,
filled considerable space with opalescent and antique
ware, together with flower holders, rubber mats and
the Springfield Carnation Food.

The Elizabeth Nursery, Elizabeth, N. J., featured
a Summer house, surrounded with evergreens and
perennial flowers, among which Phlox were promi-
nent.

The Babylon Dahlia Gardens, L. I., set up some
fine baskets of Dahlias, including Millionaire, Mrs.
I. de Ver Warnaar, and Mrs. W. Estes. This exhibit
was finely arranged and showed considerable taste.
W. A. Manda, S. Orange, N. J., featured one of his
unique collections of plants, including ferns, An-
thuriums, Pineapples, crested Ivies, Begonias, etc., etc.

Harry Stein's Flower Shops, Newark, made a won-
derfully good show with baskets of Dahlias and many
specimens. Palms and big ferns helped to make this
exhibit attractive. From Chas. A. Searle, Westfield,
N. J., came some decidedly classy blooms in glass
vases, staged on purple velvet. Only the choicest

808

The Florists Exchange

sorts were shown. Incidentally we fail to see how
this grower can still be classed as an amateur.

Thos. Jones, Short Hills, N. J., had a neat lot of
blooms, but oh, those milk pots. I venture to say a
certain Welshman of the same name who, too, is a
Dahlia "fan" as well as an exhibitor of many other
things, would never descend to paper cups. Indeed,
he even went so far as to invent a special exhibition
vase which bears his name. W. A. Burpee & Co.
often use this vase in their Sweet Pea exhibits.

J. J. Wilson Seed Co., Inc., Newark, exhibited some
excellent flowers, together with bulbs, etc., while
W. W. Kennedy & Son, Red Bank, N. J., showed a
number of large vases filled with splendid blooms
of Insulinde, Cambria, Violetta, Red Cross, etc.

The Washington Florist, Newark, made an effective
display with Teddy, Jr., ferns, Dracajnas, yellow and
white Chrysanthemums, F. Scott Key and Premier
Roses. An excellent corner group.

The American Seed and Seed Tape Co., Madison,
N. J., displayed seeds and fertilizers, while Meachen
& Sherman, Bridgeport, Conn., had a fairly compre-
hensive collection of Dahlias in all types displayed on
tables. The Maunette Hill Nursery, Hicksville, L. I.,
also showed some very fair blooms in a similar style,
while Mills & Co., Mamaroneck, N. Y., had a large
collection in great variety, but the flat style of stag-
ing in small jars was again in evidence here.

Altogether the show, for a first effort was a good
one. but considering the vast array of prizes, Secre-
tary Sachs and his committee were offering, the com-
petition should have been much more keen. The show
meant lots of hard work for all those concerned in
its organization and it is to be hoped that before
it closed, the public gave it the measure of support
it deserved.

If we have any criticism at all, it is that local ad-
vertising in the way of show cards in shops, trolley
cars, etc., would doubtless have helped materially. The
door charge of 55 cents could well have been cut in
half ; especially as the show had to make a reputation.

We think, too, that an entrance fee of $2 for pri-
vate exhibitors is much too high. Better charge no
fee and have strong competition than scare the small
grower. As a rule, the latter, until he becomes used
to exhibiting, is always fearful of competing, and a

fee of $2 for the privilege is apt to serve as a further
deterrent.

Organizers of shows should never overlook the fact
that the show is the main thing. Outsiders do not
care who run it ; a long string of committee names
counts for nothing, and the less said about them the
better. It is results that are worth talking about
and, as a rule, a small committee can accomplish
more than one of unwieldy size such as was quoted
in the Newa?mk Call. We really cannot conceive a com-
mittee of some 200, although fully this number was
listed in the men's and women's executive committees.

New York State Fair

Horticultural Display Best Ever Staged

THE horticultural exhibition at the New York
State Fair, Syracuse, Sept. 11 to 16, was the
finest ever held, both as regards quality and ar-
rangement. Competition in some classes was par-
ticularly keen, especially in the amateur section. Com-
missioner Henry K. Williams, of Dunkirk, N. Y., was
in charge and Prof. D. Lumsden, of the U. S. Dept.
of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, served as superin-
tendent. It is through the kindness of the latter that
we are able to give some details regarding the ex-
hibits.

Professional Classes

The professional Rose classes were mainly con-
tested by F. R. Pierson, Tarrytown, N. Y., and P. R.
Quinlan, Syracuse, N. Y. With American Legion,
Angelus, Hoosier Beauty, Mrs. C. Russell and any
other variety, P. R. Quinlan scored, but with Colum-
bia. Crusader, Premier, Sylvia, Pilgrim, Mme. But-
terfly, White Ophelia, White Killaruey, Francis Scott
Key* Sunburst, Cecile Brunner, best new Hybrid Tea
and Grand Special Prize, F. R. Pierson led the way
with wonderfully fine flowers. The grand prize group
contained 500 blooms in over a dozen varieties.

The Gladiolus classes brought out stronger com-
petition. J. J. Prouty, Baldwinsville, N. Y., scored
with six spikes each of white, blue and ruffled; best
twelve spikes and best and largest collection, while

W. A. Hallauer, Ontario, N. Y., led with six blush, and
six red. L. I. Bryant, Newark, N. Y., F. A. Wetzel,
Syracuse, N. Y., P. R. Quinlan, and Henry Youell,
Syracuse, also shared positions in the various classes.

The Dahlia exhibits were exceedingly good; N. H.
Cottam & Son, Wappingers Falls, N. Y., scored with
25 varieties also with 12 Cactus. W. A. Hallauer led
with 12 Decorative, but Cottam & Son again scored
with 12 Collarettes. W. M. Anderson, Millbrook,
N. Y., scored with 12 Pompons, 12 Peony and the
best Peony, while Cottam & Son led with the best
new Cactus and the best new Dahlia, any class. Mrs.
D. L. Sharp, Stillwater, N. Y., was also a competitor,
but in the main, the prizes were fairly well divided
between the other exhibitors.

With Asters, which were wonderfully good, H. B.
Williams, Baldwinsville, N. Y., and P. R. Quinlan
shared the classes.

Competition with pot plants was not specially keen,
P. R. Quinlan having a walkover with Crotons, Pan-
danus, palms, Adiantums, Araucarias, Dracaenas,
Coleus and Caladiums, the classes calling for one to
a dozen specimens. F. R. Pierson won with 12 speci-
men ferns, a collection of Nephrolepis and best nov-
elty plant. P. R. Quinlan showed fine examples of
hanging baskets and window boxes.

The Floral Art section saw P. R. Quinlan, Beulah
Slattery, Buffalo, N. Y., and Mrs. B. Gallagher closely
contesting with makeup pieces. Beulah Slattery
scored with corsage bouquet, bridal bouquet and din-
ner table of Asters. P. R. Quinlan led with a bou-
quet of Roses, basket of cut flowers, dinner table of
Roses and dinner table of Dahlias, while L. I. Bryant,
Buffalo, scored with a dinner table of Gladioli.

Mrs. D. L. Sharp, Stillwater, N. Y., and Miss M. F.
D'Arcy also gained positions in one or other classes.

The best exhibit of plants and flowers by any so-
ciety was shown by the Syracuse Gardeners Associa-
tion, with the Syracuse Florists Association and
Syracuse Growers Association closely following.

The amateurs, as stated, showed very strongly,
particularly in the Gladiolus classes. The American
Gladiolus Society silver medal was awarded to Mrs.
L. D. Upham, Georgetown, N. Y., and the bronze
medal to Madison Cooper, Calcium, N. Y., the class
calling for 15 varieties. The silver cup for a collec-
tion of annuals open to children under 16, was won
by Maurice D. Dewey, Jr., Baldwinsville. The Ameri-
can Rose Society's medal was won by the Syracuse
Rose Society, and the American Dahlia Society medal
by Mrs. D. L. Sharp.

Trade Displays

Trade exhibits were shown by James Vick & Sons,
Rochester, N. Y., Gladioli, Asters and hardy peren-
nial flowers ; Madison Cooper, Calcium, N. Y., Glad-
ioli; Thomas Cogger, Melrose, Mass., Gladioli and
Dahlias, also bulbs for Fall plantings ; John J. Prouty,
Baldwinsville. N. Y., Gladioli; F. R. Pierson, Tarry-

Seasonable Notes for Rose Growers

By Eber Holmes

EVERYTHING possible should be done at this
time to keep the plants in the best shape as th4
Fall and Winter approaches. The routine work
•onsists in keeping them clean, well fed and watered,
ind in a vigorous growing condition. In this section
>f the country we have had cool weather with very
ittle sun and continuous, heavy rains from the mid-
lie of July up to date. Under these conditions it has
lot been hard to keep red spider in check as very lit-
le firing has been done so far and the houses have
>een full of cool moisture most of the time.

We use here the Champion nozzle for syringing,
.rhis is a short affair consisting of a coupling with a
lat piece which attached spreads the water and
hrows it upward. This generally works very well,
he only drawback being that when Roses are grow-
ng in beds on the ground the men when syringing
lid not always get underneath the foliage properly.
To overcome this difficulty I have, at times, seen em-
iloyed extension rods, mostly homemade affairs and
nostly so clumsy in construction that the men re-
cused to use them. We have just had our supply
louse make over some Champion nozzles for us with
i piece of ^in. brass pipe for an extension ; this
;omes in one piece and can be made in any length
lesired to suit the height of the beds. A bed close to
he ground in charge of a tall man calls for a piece
ibout 30in. long over all, while the shortest piece
ivould be about ISin. There is absolutely no excuse
for any man who is provided with one of these noz-
zles not getting underneath every leaf in the house
md making a good job of it.

Spraying for Greenhouse Pests

' Green fly was very troublesome in July during the
svarm, muggy days, but has not been so much in evi-
lence lately. We are now using Hall's fumigator for
this pest with good results. I cannot say that there
is a great difference in cost, time required for fumi-
gating, or net results obtained by using the various
articles on the market for this work. For thrips we
have used Paris Green and brown sugar for a long
time. We have found that as with many other things,
little and often gives the best results. We have grad-
ually cut down the quantity until now we use for
;very two gallons of water, one ounce of Paris Green
md five ounces of sugar. The two latter are mixed
with a little water and kept bottled ready for use,
each bottle being one charge for the auto-spray that
we use. which holds two gallons of liquid besides the
air that is pumped in to drive out the spray. This
should be used every week to get the best results.

Mildew has not been very troublesome, thanks in
great measure to the varieties that we have today
that are practically immune. White Killarney and
Premier are the worst that we have for this today
here, and it has been impossible to do much syring-
ing this past Summer under the weather conditions
we have had. It is good practice to use the soap
spray once a week if possible, and the thrips mix-
ture can be put on as soon as the plants are dry;
then if this is followed up with Grape Dust you can
keep fairly clean in spite of weather conditions.

Common Sense in Using Coal

Last year we commenced firing on Sept. 19 ; this
year we had to start on the first. It is likely that
most growers will pull through in some way, but if I
was sure of a little fuel and knew that I could not get
more I should use it now and run the place as long
as I could with that; then if there was no more to
be had I would shut down. But do not make the mis-
take of saving your little stock of fuel until cold
weather comes, for by that time your plants will be
in such a poor condition that they will not need any
fire. It would not pay at that time to burn high
priced fuel to try to get them back into shape.

Where houses are on low ground the walks ofteu
get muddy this wet weather, and it helps a lot to
spread dry sand or ashes on them. This dries up a
lot of the surplus moisture, besides making the walks
cleaner and improving the general appearance of the
place.

Preferred Methods of Handling Manure

There are plenty of places where manure is stored
at times that have no proper place to keep it safe
from losses caused by the weather and where in wet
seasons like the present, the loss is considerable. A
roof should cover over the manure and the flooring
should be of clay, cement or of such a nature that the
liquid cannot drain away. It should also be slightly
higher at the sides than in the center. Then whether
you have animals yourself or have to buy all your
manure, you can save all that you get until you need

it. The liquid should not be separated from the solid
part but rather mixed with it. Horse manure can
be combined with cow manure to make a good mix-
ture. If the former is dry it can be watered as needed
and put in a compact pile to prevent burning. A
sprinkling of acid phosphate over every cartload of
manure improves its condition. It "sets" the am-
monia and prevents its loss, and adds phosphoric
acid which many soils need.

A good practice where there is no proper place to
keep manure and where it has to be stored outside is
to choose a good natural location on hard ground
slightly sloping to the center and then to haul good
loam and cover the ground well, making a guard or
barrier all around the pile. Then as you cart the
manure there to stay until wanted, the liquid is ab-
sorbed and the rains do not wash it away. As you
use it, the manure mixes with the loam and is often
of special benefit this way ; for one thing it is safer
to use in Winter than clear, fresh manure.

We get a lot of hen manure from our poultry yards
and have secured excellent results from its use on
all our crops. We get all the soot we can from the
chimneys and mix it with the manure in about equal
parts whenever we have it. We also sprinkle acid
phosphate under the hen roosts and on the manure
as it is carted to the storage place ; then when we are
ready to use it we mix 1000 lbs. of hen manure, 200
lbs. of acid phosphate and 50 lbs. of muriate of potash.
It is stated that muriate of potash is dangerous to
use on account of the chlorine that it contains, but
while it is not so pure as the sulphate, we have had
good results from its use. We bought the muriate at
a time when we could not get the sulphate. The
former is said to be bad for certain crops, notably
Tobacco and Potatoes, yet I read in one of the farm
paper some time ago a letter from some one who
had been getting very good results, with muriate on
Potatoes.

Making the Best Use of a Mulch

Unless you have mulched lately, the next few weeks
will be a good time to apply a top dressing so that
the Rose plants may get he benefit of it before the
short, dark days come. In the Fall it is not advis-
able to cover the ground with a heavy coat of ma-
nure so as to exclude the air. A good plan is to put
the manure on in ridges which the subsequent water-
ings will level down. When the manure is applied,
have the beds neither too wet nor dry, then if the
weather is fine you can give a good. soaking as soon
as the manure is on and leave a goodly amount of
air on the house over night. If. however, the weather
turns out bad you can cover the manure with dry
loam which will take care of the ammonia ; the house
need not then be kept so airy and you can defer the
watering until the weather clears. A heavy coat of
manure, a lot of water, dark weather and a fairly
tight house is a bad combination, likely to lead to
trouble. A number of things are good in their proper
place, and some growers can do things and get good
results because they have the knowledge of and ob-
serve fundamental principles, but when an inexperi-
enced man tries to imitate them he often gets into
trouble. It is well to be on the safe side and not to
take chances unless you are sure of your ground.

Unless you have already used bonemeal I would
give every bed a fair sprinkling before you apply the
bulky manure. Some growers use 100 lbs. of bone
and 20 lbs. of tankage to every 5000 plants every two
weeks.

Portland Rose Society Receives Rose Gift

Thomas Cook of Boston, Gives to the Portland Rose
Society his Medal Seedling, Bonnie Prince

Through the generosity of Thomas Newton Cook,
the paper manufacturer of Boston, Mass.. the Port-
land Rose Society has received a gift which, in the
years to come, will doubtless give that organization
such financial aid that it will be able to extend the
work which has made Portland "The Rose City."

In June of this year, Mr. and Mrs. Cook visited
Portland and were the guests of Jesse A. Currey,
Portland's leading authority on Roses. Mr. Cook
came particularly to see his new Rose Bonnie Prince
growing under the favorable climate of Portland, the
judges of the International Rose Test Gardens hav-
ing, in 1920, awarded it the city of Portland medal
for a climbing Rose and the Portland Rose Society
trophy for Rose produced by an amateur.

A few days ago Mr. Currey received the formal
transfer of the plants of Bonnie Prince and imme-
diately turned over the communica'tions to Guy W.
Talbot, president of the Portland Rose Sociey. Ar-
rangements were also made through City Commis-
sioner S. C. Pier and Park Superintendent C. P.
Keyser for the propagation of a sufficient number of
plants to give the society a start in the sale of the
Rose.

The variety is of the Wichuraiana type, remarkably

vigorous and a wonderfully quick grower. In less
than two years, it covered a 20ft. arbor in the Inter-
national Test Gardens. Bonnie Prince blooms heavily
in June when it is a mass of white flowers, with a
faint pink tinge, and it holds for several weeks. The
flowers are about 2in. in diameter and make a most
attractive decoration, the stamens being brilliant gold
and retaining that color. Its most striking character-
istic is its wonderful foliage; the leaves are very long
and slender, soft light green, and finely veined.

Jesse A. Currey, vice-president of the Portland Rose
Society and the Pacific Coast, director of the Ameri-
can Rose Society, says of Mr. Cook's gift: "The gift
of Bonnie Priuce to the Portland Rose Society is the
greatest Rose gift of history. Rose producers regard
the Roses they create with the love and affection of a
father for his child. I think if you search all Rose
history you will not find another case on record where
the producer of a new Rose has given his produc-
tion away without the least restraint. Mr. Cook,
while having the greatest affection for this Rose, is
inspired by a higher and more unselfish motive; he is
an amateur grower and producer and while Bonnie
Prince, with its prestige as a medal winner would
mean much in dollars and cents to him if commer-
cialized, he is willing to turn over to the Portland
Rose Society, all financial benefits in order to keep
beyond question his standing as an amateur Rose
grower. That Mr. Cook selected the Portland Rose
Society as the beneficiary of this wonderful gift in
preference to other organizations nearer to his home,
is a tribute I feel he desired to pay to the city of
Portland for the work it has done in fostering Rose
culture."

Stay-at-Home Visiting

Do you enjoy visiting other people's homes and
seeing how they have worked out the problems of
their houses and grounds, their exterior construction
and interior decoration, their arrangement, design,
finishing and all the other factors that create a home?
If so, House and Garden's "Book of Houses" and
"Book of Interiors" (uniform with the same maga-
zine's "Book of Gardens"), constitute a series of in-
vitations to visit and inspect some of the richest
examples of modern American house designing, build-
ing and beautifying.

If you contemplate building, or remodeling, here
will be found ideas that you may care to incorporate
or develop ; if you have no intention of doing so you
can still find interest in what others have done, for
both volumes consist almost entirely of excellent re-
productions of strikingly attractive photographs,,
ample, well-written captions and an occasional page
of concise, practical suggestion or introductory dis-
cussion bring "out and explain the fine points por-
trayed.

It is only fair to remark, however, that the sub-
jects in these two volumes, even more largely than
in the "Book of Gardens," have been selected from
among the homes of the strictly upper circles. Unless
the reader falls well within the well-to-do class, or
unless he can observe beautiful things as such, with-
out having his enjoyment marred by feelings of covet-
ousness, these books may arouse more envy than can
easily be quenched.

John McCleary

For more than forty years proprietor of the Sewell
Tree Nurseries, John McCleary, 86 years old, died
Sept. 12 at his home in Sewell, N. J. He had retired
from active business ten years previously. Surviv-
ing him are two sons, Joseph and John McCleary and
two daughters, his wife having died several years
before. A solemn requiem mass was celebrated Sept.
13 in St. Bridget's Catholic Church, at Glassboro.

Patrick O'Hara

Patrick O'Hara, pioneer nurseryman of Dansville,
N. Y., died Sunday evening, Sept. 3, following a
paralytic stroke. He was born in County Mayo, Ire-
land, in 1845, his parents coming to this country two
years later, and settling in Dansville in 1852. Pat-
rick O'Hara received a good education and with the
the exception of five years spent in the West for
the Government, passed his life in Dansville as a nur-
seryman. He was twice married, his first wife hav-
ing died thirty years ago. Two daughters were born
to them. In 1914 he married Miss Alice McLane of
Dansville, who survives him with one son, Francis.

The Florists Exchange

Chrysanthemum Society of America

The 1922 Flower Show Committee of the Chrysan-
themum Society of America held its meeting at the
Coliseum, St. Louis, Mo., Wednesday, Sept. 13, to pre-
pare and hear final reports of the various sub-com-
mittees. Twenty-three chairmen were present. The
Guarantee Fund Committee reported an oversubscrip-
tion, the total being $12,500. The Premium Com-
mittee presented a list of premiums that will attract
exhibitors from all parts of the United States. The
Decoration Committee showed plans for beautifying
and decorating the interior of the Coliseum. The
Publicity Committee submitted plans to make this
flower show the greatest in the history of the asso-
ciation.

The officers of the association are: Fred Ammann,
chairman ; H. S. Berning, vice-ichairman ; W. A.
Howe, treasurer; J. J. Beneke, secretary.

The last flower show was held in 1917 before the
war. C. W. W.

Carl Engelmann Visiting U. S.

One of Great Britain's greatest Carnation growers
and among the first of British florists to realize the
value of the Florists Telegraph Delivery, Carl Engel-
mann, of Saffron "Walden, has decided to be on the
spot when the F. T. D. convention opens its doors at
Baltimore. Oct. 10.

In a brief note he informs us that barring unfore-
seen difficulties, he leaves England on the S. S. Ma-
jestic on Sept. 27.

Great Show at Greenwich, Conn.

The eleventh annual flower show of the Westches-
ter and Fairfield Horticultural Society held in the
Y. M. C. A. Building, Greenwich, Conn., proved a tre-
mendously successful event. The fine weather helped,
the attendance was large, the classes were well filld
and the quality of the exhibits was high. Dahlias,
of course, predominated, although there was a goodly
showing of all other seasonable flowers in which the
many estates and private gardeners of the vicinity
participated.

Among the trade displays (of which we expect
shortly to receive' a more detailed report) those of
John Scheepers, Inc., Mills & Co., Mamaroneck, N. Y.,
and John H. Troy of New Rochelle were impressive.
The last mentioned won the gold medal for the best
display of Dahlias for effect to cover 50 sq. ft, as
well as three firsts in the four commercial Dahlia
classes.

Officers Elected

The election of officers resulted as follows : Presi-
dent, John Barnett, Sewickley, Pa. ; vice-president,
David F. Francis, Cleveland, O. ; secretary, Martin C.
Ebel, 286 Fifth ave., New York, N. Y. ; treasurer,
Montague Free, Brooklyn, N. Y. Trustees for 1923 :
Thos. W. Head, Arthur Smith, D. L. Mcintosh, New
Jersey ; Robert Cameron, Mass., and A. J. Dorward,
Rhode Island.

The Committee on Final Resolutions expressed its
thanks to the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, to
the committee on arrangements and to the ladies' com-
mittee ; also to the members who contributed plants
and flowers for decorations.

Upon the motion by John Barnett, a rising vote of
thanks was given to Wm. N. Craig, who has so faith-
fully and industriously labored for the welfare of
the N. A. G. and who is now retiring from active
membership on account of entering professional busi-
ness.

The Banquet

About 150 members and friends sat down to a most
excellent banquet at the Hotel Brunswick, where the
hall and tables were profusely decorated with Dahlias,
Gladioli and other flowers. Wm. N. Craig introduced
the toastmaster, who was none other than Judge
Charles W. Hoitt of Scituate, than whom there is
none better. Mr. Craig remarked that there would

as read. The financial reports were also accepted, as
also the reports of the Service Bureau. Good satis-
faction was expressed with the work of this bureau,
whose experiences are often trying and exasperating.

The nomination of officers followed and also the
consideration of a meeting place for 1923. The name
of Pittsburgh,. Pa., was put forward with an invita-
tion from the Chamber of Commerce of that city.
Without much further discussion Pittsburgh was
chosen as the convention city for 1923.

The afternoon session opened at 2 p.m. with the
acceptance of the amendments to the bylaws as pro-
posed by the Newport branch and endorsed by the
Boston branch.

The discussion on the two-year course for gardeners
at the Massachusetts Agricultural College at Am-
herst, opening Sept. 27, 1922, became quite lively, and
much really unnecessary talk was indulged in. Secre-
tary Ebel, Wm. N. Craig, A. K. Rogers, Robert Came-
ron and Geo. F. Stewart spoke earnestly and con-
vincingly of the need and advantages of this college
course. The speakers were heartily applauded and
a rising vote was given for adopting the rules and
regulations as proposed by the college authorities and
the N. A. G. The convention also pledged the full sup-
port of the association.

The Board of Directors in an appreciation of Secre-
tary Martin C. Ebel recommended the amal-
gamation of the work of the secretary with that of the
service bureau and the appropriation for this purpose
of $3000 per annum, which sum is to cover all
the_ expenses of the two formerly separate offices.
This arrangement was unanimously accepted.

Wm. N. Craig made the motion that the association
agam go on record as opposed to Qu. 37 insofar as
it restricts the importation of rare and meritorious
plants and demanding a modification of the existing
embargo. The motion was unanimously carried. D
L. Mcintosh hopes that American nurserymen will
grow in this country all the material which is
adapted for growing here, instead of sending for it
elsewhere, so that the money for growing it may
y in this country and go to American workmen.

Chas. Grakelow of Philadelphia

be not less than fifteen speakers, including a few
of the lady guests and then the fun started. The
first speaker, after the toastmaster had said a thing
or two, was Robert Cameron, who reminded the mem-
bers that in 1910 there were less than 300 members
in the Association and the business meeting took two
hours. Today the Association counts over 1100 mem-
bers and the business sessions have to work hard
to get done inside of two days. A short speech by
John Barnett, the newly elected president, was fol-
lowed by one from Thos. C. Head of New Jersey and
Wm. Monroe of California ; the latter telling about
Dahlias and grass in his State. Edw. I. Farrington,
Boston, thinks that Wm. Craig likes Qu. No. 37 about
as much as he hates ice cream, which means some. He
wishes success to the gardeners who, he says, are a
blessing to the world in that they make it a better
place to live in.

Mrs. B. Hammond Tracy, when called upon to say
a few words, gave as her opinion that mammoth
blooms of Dahlias may be all right to look at, but
that for commercial and decorative use the smaller
blooms are to be preferred. This was to be a come
bads for Mr. Monroe, who, she thinks, has an idea that
Boston doesn't know how to grow big Dahlias. Mar-
tin C. Ebel had it in for Wm. N. Craig, who, he thinks,
would find this world a perfect place to dwell in if
it were not for rule No. 37. Wm. Kleinheinz of Phila-
delphia, the tranquil village, gave Boston credit for
having big blocks, big hearts and big men and other
big things. J. H. Troy, New Rochelle, N. Y. ; James
Stewart, New York ; M. A. McMahon. Des Moines, la. ;
and others also had this or that to say.

Then came D. L. Mcintosh and that meant laugh
yourself blue in the face. Mr. Mcintosh finds Boston
slow, nobody awake until 8.30 a.m., when everywhere
else everybody has done half a day's work. He had
plenty more to say about Boston and did not even

stop his jokes when he presented to Wm. N. Craig a
handsome gold watch and chain as a token of friend-
ship from admiring friends. He thinks that now Mr.
Craig may get up earlier and that every time he looks
at his watch, he may remember his roughneck friends.
Also Mr. Mcintosh observed that the watch looked
like gold and had an open face just like its recipient.
They had to squelch the speaker by force, otherwise
he would be going it yet. Mr. Craig accepted the pres-
ent with a few well chosen words.

James Wheeler, the next speaker, advocated that
the public be better instructed how to use flowers,
also that the association should foster this instruc-
tion. He hopes that the day may soon come when
gardeners shall receive better remuneration for their
work. Wm. A. Manda and Jos. A. Manda said a
few words of encouragement and wished the asso-
ciation further success.

The vocal and instrumental entertainment wa£
greatly appreciated, being high class and embracing
the airs most enjoyed by the assembly. A rising vote
of thanks paid the toastmaster for his witty digs
and jabs, the points of which, as he mentioned, were
never dipped in poison.

Accounts of the automobile trips and visits of
Thursday and Friday will appear later.

under the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Williamsburgh
Bridges.

Turning around once more the boats started on
their way down the Bay, passing interested craft of
every description, until, at Quarantine, the S. S.
Celtic, of the White Star Line, was encountered.

Not until that moment did Messrs. Grakelow and
Goldsmith know of the royal welcome awaiting them.
As soon as the vessels were near enough for the dele-
gation to recognize "Charley" and "Louis" on the
Celtic's deck, enthusiasm broke loose, such as must
have touched the hearts of the returning voyagers.
The band, divided up between the two boats, played
appropriate and tuneful airs, while megaphones,
calls of greeting, and a waving of hands told the sin-
cerity of the welcome in no uncertain terms.

As soon as the Celtic was passed through Quaran-
tine, she continued her way to port with the Nassau
and Millard in close proximity. At the pier, after the
usual routine with the Customs officials, the return-
ing Elks were hurried aboard the Millard, and there
given a wonderful ovation at closer range. The next
move was back across the Hudson to Communipaw,
where special trains waited to take the delegation
back to Philadelphia. On arrival there a reception
was held in the Elk's Club. The banquet, which had
previously been arranged for, was abandoned as the
delegation reached Philadelphia too late.

The men particularly identified with the carrying
out of the reception, which was a perfect success in
every way, were Furey Ellis, chairman of Committee
on Arrangements, and G. F. Ingram, Assistant Gen-
eral Passenger Agent of the Philadelphia & Reading
Railroad. The theatrical feature was put on by F.
Bart McHugh, who will take the same show on the
road this season. James F. Hughes, Commissioner of
Immigration for Philadelphia, and Ed. L. Lewis, Pas-
senger Traffic Manager of the Philadelphia & Reading,
came- on in advance of the delegation, proceeding
down the Bay on a Government boat.

Mr. Grakelow's sisters, Mrs. Jacobi and Mrs. Mat-
thews-accompanied by the latter's daughter, as well
as Mrs. Louis Goldsmith, came on with the delega-
tion. Numerous pictures were taken of the event by
a motion picture producer, which will be shown on
the screens of a number of the Philadelphia moving
picture houses.

The Florists Exchange

811

Society of American Florists and
Ornamental Horticulturists

National Publicity Campaign

Information furnished by John Young,
43 West 18th Street, New York

The work of the campaign just now is
being pushed most actively. A call has gone
out for a meeting of the Publicity Committee,
to be held at the Society's Administration
Offices, 43 West 18th St., New York, on
Monday, October 9. As the members of the
Committee will at this time be en route to
attend the annual meeting of the Florists'
Telegraph Delivery Association, the date for
, the Committee's meeting was chosen as
« one necessitating very little expense. It is
i planned that the morning of the day for the
meeting shall be given over to a conference
' with representatives of local publicity bodies
1 of different cities, and the president and
secretary of the F. T. D., also the business
manager of that organization's publication,
the F. T. D. News, have been invited to
attend. In the afternoon the Committee
will go into executive session, and at this
time plans for late Fall and Winter advertis-
ing will be discussed, and appropriations
made, so that contracts with the magazines
may be made to the best advantage. A
regular meeting of the New York Florists'
Club occurs on the evening of October 9, and
the Club will act as hosts to the visitors.

There are still a large number of subscribers
to the campaign fund who have not taken
up their pledges, on the amounts of which the
Committee, necessarily, must depend for
means to prosecute the advertising campaign.
The Committee very properly looks upon the
collection of these amounts as materially
necessary in the conduct of the campaign
and hopes that no subscriber is wilfully
negligent in making remittance. Bills to all
delinquents are going out from the Secre-
tary's office this week, and prompt responses
are expected. It is not a matter of whether
these tardy subscribers are good for the
amounts subscribed, but rather of whether
they are going to make their pledges good
at this time, when the Committee is in urgent
need of funds to carry out the plans they are
formulating. Some of the contracts con-
templated must be placed two and three
months ahead of date of publication, and
the earlier they are placed the better^ the
advantage to the campaign. The Committee
should not be expected to enter into obliga-
tions for expenditures unless they have the
money in hand to cover them, therefore it is
hoped that all subscribers in arrears will look
at the matter of their delinquency in the
right way, and take up their pledges without
further delay. Our wonderful slogan, "Say
it with Flowers" is worthy of all the push we
can get behind it. Only last week the
greatest of the New York papers, in an
article on trade slogans, said that the slogan
of the florists was one "the worth of which
as a business builder has been attested to by
the extent to which it has been paraphrased
by other organizations and individual
concerns."

Question Box

Newly Planted Carnations

Is it proper to syringe a Carnation
house on a bright day a month after it
has been planted? — N. G., Conn.

— It is not good policy to spray over-
head after the plants are established.
Much of the stem rot trouble is encour-
aged by damping. A fresh buoyant at-
mosphere is to the liking of Carnations
and when once established they can stand
all the sunshine that comes along.

Gladioli and Bouvardia

D. F. Co., Va.

— Gladiolus bulbs, if they have had
about four months rest after harvesting,
can be started into growth again, but
rest is essential. In this respect the bulbs
differ from, some others, which start new
roots very soon after the tops die down,
if left in the ground. The earlier you can
get Gladiolus flowers the more profitable
they are likely to prove.

Bouvardia is a moderately profitable
crop in the East, but the supply can easily
be overdone. You may find both the
colored forms and the larger white Hiim-
boldtii a useful line.

Euonymus Scale

M. T., Pa.

— The Euonymus sprays sent are badly
infested with the Euonymus scale Chion-
aspis euonymi. It breeds rapidly and will
usually kill the plants it attacks, if not
checked.

A standard kerosene wash not used too
strong will oust it or any of the proprie-
tary scale killing fluids. Spray every two
weeks during May and June, while the
pests are hatching. While the plants are
dormant, spray with lime sulphur of mod-
erate strength, say one in 15 or according
to the maker's directions. This will gen-
erally clear the scale, but if any appears
in the Spring, use the wash first men-
tioned.

Roses for Park Planting

I wish to plant in a small public park
in Eastern Connecticut a hundred or more
Roses next Spring, preparing the ground
this Fall. Unfortunately, they can re-
ceive no very great care of the intelligent
kind, and I was thinking of using Eugosa
Roses and also American Pillar, Tausend-
sehoen and Crimson Rambler. (These
three last trimmed to bush form.) What
are some others that can be used, or what
suggestions have you to make? — F., Conn.

— Rugosa varieties would do well and
so would many of the Wichurianas, al-
though the latter could not be kept to
bush form by pruning. The same applies
to American Pillar and other climbers.
Some of them make 20ft. shoots in a sea-
son, and to cut them away would mean no
flowering save in a sparse sort of way.
If you make beds of climbers, give them
plenty of room and let them have their
own way.

Dwarf Polyanthas like Orleans, etc., re-
quire no attention. Cut back hard in
Spring and they will flower all the season.

Some of the Moss Roses and also some
of the species like Hugonis would make
strong, bushy growth without much atten-

tion. The modern H. Ts would not prove
particularly good, and while the H. Ps
would grow m spite of the neglect, the
season of bloom is short.

Any firm specializing in Roses will
readily provide hardy strong growing
Roses suitable for your purpose.

Roses

I have a greenhouse, 50ft.xl50ft.,
planted to Roses, which appear to be
somewhat infested with Rose midge, and
I would like information as to the best
method of controlling same. I understand
that nightly fumigation with nicotine is
effective. If so, should the fumigation
be started between 12.30 and 2 a.m., as
for Chrysanthemum mid^e? Also should
the strength of the fumigation be about
the same as for aphis, etc.?

I note in the article on Rose culture,
by Eber Holmes, in the July 22 issue of
The Exchange, a spray mixture of sul-
phate of copper and ammonia is recom-
mended for black spot. The formula I
have usually seen is carbonate of copper
and ammonia. Kindly advise me if one
is any more effective than the other. — ■
G. W. H., ST. Y.

— We have not heard of a midge at-
tacking Roses, and we doubt if the pest
in your house is comparable to the Chrys-
anthemum midge. Whatever it may be,
nicotine fumigation should be effective if
done any time in the evening. Do not
exceed the usual strength for fear of
burning.

We are not aware that one form of
copper is superior to the other; the cop-
per is the actual fungicide, and so long
as its caustic character is neutralized by
ammonia or lime its action is beneficial.
Sulphate of copper at the wholesale drug-
gists is about 12c. a lb., and may, there-
ore, be cheaper than carbonate.

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

Chances with Iris

As there are many people giving atten-
tion to Iris, particularly in the direction
of breeding, it is well that they should
know their chances for getting something
extra good. Wm. Rollins, writing in The
Flower Grower states that he has raised
50,000 Iris seedlings to the flowering
stage without getting one superior to any
of the few really aristocratic forms in
commerce. If every raiser was as honest
with himself and others as Mr. Rollins
is, we would not have such vast quantities
of Irises, Peonies, Gladioli, Dahlias, etc.,
etc. I dare say Mr. Rollins has had
hundreds of seedlings differing from and
equalling many of the best, but he wants
something better; hence to him, his 50,-
000 seedlings are "junk."

A New Contemporary

I have interestedly read the new month-
ly trade journal Western Florist-Nursery-
man and Seedsman. As might be expected
the most is made of western possibilities
and California in particular. Sometimes
it strikes me that because California has
a variety of climates and none of them
severe, our western friends assume that
nowhere else in the country can any-
thing be done on the same scale. Indeed,
it seems to me that some of them get
quite mad at us Easterners because we
want to buy things at lower rates than
California wants to or can afford to sell.
But, after all, we folks buy to sell again
and there is just a limit to what the
dear public is going to pay for orna-
mentals.

Quarantines Again

In the paper referred to our old friend
Henry W. Kruckeberg has a lot to say on
California's sponsoring plant quaran-
tines, Qu. 37 included. He shows that
California was first to back the quaran-
tine bill which became law in 1912. But,
in making out his arguments, Mr. Krucke-
berg looks at things with California's
eyes only. He declares the propaganda
of foreign producers is not without a
motive, while the amateur is agitated
from a personal viewpoint. Maybe Cali-
fornia is not without motive, but when
H. W. K. argues that there is "danger of am-
ateur importations from God knows whterB"
he is on thin ground. No amateur, save
those unusually keen, would ever send
abroad for plants. I'll wager that the

average private grower who used to send
to Europe for orchids, rare trees and
novelties in hardy plants, etc., not only
made sure of getting the things from re-
putable people, but also gave more care
to the stock than the average commer-
cial man.

Mr. Kruckeberg declares that Federal
quarantines are naturally an insurance
against insect pests and diseases, but
that, I imagine, requires proving. _ We
are told, too, that Californian experience
shows there is ten times the danger from
amateur plant lovers that there is from
commercial growers, but we are not told
what the experiences are or were. Cali-
fornia appears to owe most of its success
in the agricultural and horticultural
world to plants that were sent or taken
there. If California had shouted _ 50
years ago for absolute plant prohibition,
we should not hear so much about Cali-
fornia's plant products today; there would
not be any to speak of.

Bulbs in California

Another interesting article in the same
paper is on this subject by R. C. Lincoln
of Santa Cruz. Mr. Lincoln evidently is
growing bulbs in considerable variety and
doubtless knows his subject, but not
everyone will agree that all bulbs should
have their foliage fully matured before
lifting. Gladioli gain nothing by being
left in the ground until the tops are dead;
the best seed Potatoes are those dug be-
fore the tops are wholly ripe; Dahlias are
never ripe when lifted and there are lots
of other bulbous and tuberous rooted
subjects that are never fully ripened off.
We are told that the California grown
Freesias are so good that no. one would
want the French or Holland bulbs. I
have never seen acknowledged Holland
grown Freesias, but I certainly have not
seen any California Freesia bulbs equal
to the best French. A New York seeds-
man was recently trying to find a few
really large bulbs in his consignment; they
were supposed to be mammoth size, but
I guess the standard of mammoth has
been modified. We are told, too, that
Holland buys California Freesias heavily;
that's tough on the home trade which
most times has always been told that
crops are short.

Mr. Lincoln credits the florists with
hoping that the Spanish Iris would fail
last season as did Tingitana, and that
prices will drop as stock becomes more
plentiful; maybe so, but will they ever
touch present day Holland prices which
are double pre-war? I can't see ama-
teurs falling over themselves to buy Iris,
Anemone and similar bulbs at present
day rates.

Mr. Lincoln figures it will need 80 mil-
lion bulbs to meet the Daffodil trade in
the LTnited States. California and west-
ern growers, he says, can meet this, but
it would take t$ar years notice to pre-
pare for it. And that's that, my merry
Easterners: the West wants to supply
you with Daffodils some day, so you had
better start growing some; not merely
the old standbys, but some of the treas-
ures that will be making big money as
cut flowers in years to come. When you
no longer can import, you won't be able
to afford to slaughter the bulbs by cut-
ting foliage; you'll do the same as the
European forcers do, and grow on the
bulbs again, or sell back .to the growers.

The Great Bug Army

The annual letter of information re-x
lating to pests and diseases intercepted in
foreign shipments is to hand. It is an im-
posing letter of 36 pages and it gives
strings of names, mostly fearsome look-
ing. Every country in the universe al-
most is credited with, having tried to
clump some sort of pest upon us, mostly
on plants, although in a few instances, the
pests were found in passengers' baggage
or in packing material. I don't pretend
to know many of the bugs and diseases
under their Latin names; they are mostly
new to me and seemingly mostly tropical;
but I can't feel scared about aphis, slugs,
thrips and Potato blight from England
or other sections of Europe, nor even
Pea weevil from France, or Daffodil fly
and botrytis cinerea from Holland. I im-
agine that the great bulk of pests in-
tercepted are so common that a few found
on the plants during the year 1921 would
have given the growers far less trouble
than was taken to make up this wonder-
ful list. The F. H. B. certainly deserves
credit for doing a job well, but whether
it pays is another question.

RETAIL DEPARTMENT

Ye Mistress of Ye Yellow Flower Pot

By LESTER G. HERBERT

THE little town of Fayette was quite excited over
the announcement that there was to be a new
business started in town — a flower shop manned,
as it were, by a woman!

Fayette was conservative and rejoiced in a popula-
tion of 2910 souls. The newcomer would increase the
population by one — and every one counted, for Fay-
ette had been going back in numbers instead of for-
ward, for years.

People were curious as to why anyone should come
here to start a business, much less a woman, and a
flower shop at that ! But facts are stubborn things,
and when a slender, gentle-appearing woman of per-
haps thirty-five years stepped from the train, accom-
panied by a very deaf old gentleman, people took time
to look and to talk about it.

The old Bullis store on Main st. had been rented,
house taken over and repaired
some weeks before. People
said that the woman florist
was friendly, and her father,
for such the old gentleman
was, a very highly skilled
man in the production of
growing things.

The Bullis store was on
the wrong side of the street
to begin with, but the Flower
Woman as she began to be
called, didn't seem to realize
that. She had the front of
the building which was an
ugly brick red, painted white.
Those who claimed to know,
said that she was shrewd on
prices, and one or two who
had attempted to overcharge
— simply had not taken her
orders.

The inside of the Bullis
shop was cleaned until a fly
would have slipped up and
broken its neck, and the in-
terior was painted in white
which was dazzling in its
purity. The painter attempted
to tell her that flat white was
more fashionable, but the
Flower Woman shook her
head and insisted on enamel
which could be wiped more
easily, had a less chalky sur-
face to absorb finger marks,
and could be renewed from
time to time with ease.

Then the windows of the
Bullis shop, which had long
been cobwebby and dull with
dust and smoke, were washed
and polished until they spar-
kled. The Flower Woman did
this with her own hands.
Next she hung at the win-
dows, the daintiest imagin-
able white muslin curtains,
with little black polkadots all

through them, and a cunningly ruffled edge. Fayette
had never seen any curtains just like those, and they
began to be interested.

Even the men remarked to each other that it
looked as though she were going to make something
of the place after all. But on the whole, people felt
that most of the folks in Fayette raised their own
flowers, and had no money to buy any others. But
the Flower Woman went blithely on and her deaf old
father was busy at the greenhouse. It was well, for
he couldn't hear a word that people said to him, and
so was shut in largely by himself.

Then the sign painter arrived with the black and
gold sign which the flower Woman had ordered. When
she saw the brave announcement on its surface :

"Mrs. Lucretia Morton, Florist and Designer," — ■
she gave a quick gasp and flushed a dull, deep red.
Her skin was delicate and the flush was becoming. A
sudden gleam of determination sparkled in her eyes,
and she said crisply to the waiting man :

"You may put the sign up at once — the sooner, the
better."

And so people began to look in at the window of
Mrs. Morton's place, and to revel in the beauty of
the simple windows which she arranged. One week
it would be a showing of lovely fern bowls and fern

dishes for the table. Again, bright, cheerful bou-
quets in little squat bowls or in glass blocks set in
shallow plates of quaint pottery, also for the table.

Fayette had never thought of using greenery and
flowers every day in this manner on the home table.
When there was company or a "function," there were
decorations, but they hadn't thought of the idea as
a practical part of the daily menu. But the young
people read the magazines and loved beauty, and so
little by little, it became the fashion in Fayette for
every home with any pretension of refinement, to have
a table centerpiece fresh and lovely, which was used
at meals, and which stood squarely in the middle of
the embroidered centerpiece on the bare table, be-
tween meals.

More and more people began to wander into the
Yellow Flower Pot, as the place was officially known.

A Retailer's Own Little Fall Flower Show

This shows the interior of a progressive retail shop— the Park Floral Co. of Cleveland, to be exact—
durfng a Fall flower show that it staged last year. This is not an unprecedented type of special, busi-
ness letting publicity, but it is sufficiently unique to attract lots of attention in any community.
With Dahlias and other outdoor flowers in abundant supply and myriads of Chrysanthemums and
other unde glass materials due in a few weeks, why shouldn't every live retailer present his stock
to the public in this effective manner? Patrons would appreciate suggestions as to table decora-
tions the use of flowers in home beautiflcation, and other practical applications of flonstry such as
could be shown in a little informal display of this sort. And surely, their increased interest will

soon result in increased business. Why not?

At one corner of the white-fronted building, a
wrought-iron arm reached out and held a gilded flower
pot of quaint, low shape. From the top of this flower
pot, brave crimson blossoms and green leaves weath-
ered wind, sun, and storm. The flower pot was alike
on both sides, so that people going down Main st. or
up Main St., could not get past in the daytime with-
out seeing that flower pot and being reminded of blos-
soms and blooming things. And in the evening the
electric sign from the drug store across the way made
the Yellow Flower Pot almost equally conspicuous.

People who went inside the attractive little estab-
lishment, found everything as neat as wax. Hinges
were painted a dead black, and by contrast with the
white enamel, this was most effective. Then there
were always plants and flowers, and Lucretia Mor-
ton hovering about, dressed in something soft and
silky, and giving the whole place the effect of a lovely
old picture.

Came the day when Fayette was shaken once more
to its very center. A second florist shop was an-
nounced, and people openly said that the town could
not support two. It had done pretty well to take care
of Lucretia Morton — but enough was enough !

The new man came in and put on different stunts
to attract interest and business. He had a Floral

Opening. He offered a prize in real gold for a flower
pageant put on by the school. He ran Flower Con-
tests in the paper, and he had his little delivery car
racing about the streets most of the time as if it were
madly trying to keep up with the social affairs or
Fayette There was no doubt about it, he was get-
ting business and taking some of Lucretia Mortons
away from her. . .

In the meantime, she was reaching out and doing
much artistic floral work in several nearby towns
where her skill of arrangement and her odd combina-
tion and effective designs were appreciated. Lucretia
was keeping her eye on Adam Bennett, her competi-
tor. And there were times when Adam wished that
that Flower Woman would move to greener pastures !
Undoubtedly there was business enough for oner— but
not for two.

One night, the sleeping inhabitants of Fayette were
disturbed by the wild clamoring of the firebell, and
almost more quickly than it takes to tell it, a large
percentage of the population was on Mam st. The
fire fiend worked quickly, and the small, old-fash-
ioned fire-fighting apparatus was insufficient.

Steadily the flames crept down upon the center of
the business section, and there was no doubt about it,
the Yellow Flower Pot was going to go. Mrs. Morton
and her father lived upstairs, and with grim deter-
mination, the slender little
woman went back again and
again, to bring forth her
treasures. But she went back
once too often, for the flames
cut in and shut off her escape
by enveloping the stairway
which led down to Main St. !
It was Adam Bennett him-
self who shouted, "We've got
to get her out, folks. Why,
we can't let a woman burn
alive," and buttoning his
coat, he disappeared into the
heavy curtain of smoke which
screened him from the view.

"He'll never come out
again," murmured the peo-
ple. "It was just that way
in the last fire when two lives
were lost instead of one!"

But Adam Bennett was not
the sort of a man to give up
and he couldn't bear to think
of that brave, gentle little
soul perishing in this manner.
She had led out her aged
father. She had brought
forth family pictures which
she treasured, and now — the
thought stabbed Adam like a
knife. She might have been
after some souvenir of her
wandering and disloyal hus-
band and her dead child.
Why, a woman like that,
never forgot ! She would live
in the shadow of her love al-
ways.

Adam battled with the
flames. He had dropped to
the floor and covered his head
with his coat, and was creep-
ing steadily through the zone
of terrific heat. He could
hear a moan just ahead, and
it led him on. A moment
later, he found her beating
her hands together and sway-
ing, ready to fall. He threw
head, grasped her about the
to the back of the

something over her

waist, and ran straight through

building where the heat was less.

There was not a second to lose. There were no
rescuers at this point. If there had been, it would
have been easy, but circumstances must be met as
they were. There were no buildings by which to climb
down. It was a sheer, bare wall of brick, and the
flames were bursting from behind.

Adam looked frantically around, and his eye fell
upon the pulley clothesline still intact, which
stretched upward to a tall support. Quickly he
whipped out his knife, cut the rope, bound it securely
about the woman's waist, and indifferent to the breath
of the fire fiend at his back, he lowered her gently to
the ground. He looked about to see where he could
fasten that rope so that it would not burn off. He
could go down it himself, hand over hand. But it
was too late. A creaking and groaning warned him
that the roof was about to fall it, so Adam Bennett
jumped.

As he struck, he smiled, for although the fall he
was conscious had broken his leg, people were com-
ing around the back of the building and had seen
liini.

The next he knew he was in the little hospital of

your place until you are able to come back
again."
He looked at her in astonishment.
"That's — that's good of you," he said.
"Mighty fine!"

"And," she buried on, "there's been a
lot of business come in. Out of town or-
ders for me and some for you. I have
cared for them all, and when you get bet-
ter we can divide the business up and the j
profits."

He looked at her with a full heart. A
great flood of regret filled him — that he
had saved her for that other and unworthy
man. He thought he had never seen a
bloom so lovely as she, as she stood there
in the morning sunlight.

"And I want you to know," she went
on gently, "that I shall never cease to be
thankful that you saved my life. I can
only regret that you were injured doing
it, but — but perhaps I can make that up
to you some day. There, I must be going! '
Lucretia Morton felt that she had said
too much, and so she slipped out of the
little hospital ward. The patient lay very
gloomy and rebellious.

Why was it that women like that had to
be sacrificed on the altar of an unhappy
marriage? People said that she had
never been willing to talk of her affairs.
When old Mrs. Betts, the village gossip,
had questioned her closely and said, "Is
your husband living yet, ma'am?" Mrs.
Morton had replied gently, "I hope so,
dear Mrs. Betts. Yes, truly I hope so!"
And she had been so agitated that even
Mrs. Betts had told it again and again,
and finally invented quite a story of the
way he had deserted her.

Later she ventured to approach the
subject again by saying, "Did you have
any children, Mrs. Morton?" and Mrs.
Morton had replied, "None that lived, Mrs.
Bette — please — please don't talk about it!
I — it quite upsets me!"

So people had pieced the story together,
and no one in Fayette would have been
surprised if the Morton man had shown
up some day. Some thought he was a
regular brute. Others, a polished dare-
devil.

Adam Bennett thought on all these
things and spent a restless night. In the
morning he waited, hoping that he might
have a visitor, but none came. At eleven
o'clock he could stand it no longer, and
shamelessly he told the nurse that there
was important business which he must
speak to Mrs. Morton about, and would
she, the nurse, please telephone for that
lady to come and see him if convenient.
Mrs. Morton got there in short order.
The nurse discreetly withdrew. Adam
Bennett came straight to the point.

"I'm going to ask you," he said bluntly,
"where that man Morton is? I take it
you haven't a divorce. Maybe you don't
want one, but I'm going to tell you right
now that if you are willing there will only
be one flower shop in Fayette, and Mr.
and Mrs. Bennett will guide its destinies.
"Lucretia, I thought I was jealous of
your success. I thought I hated you, but
the night of the fire I — I learned that I
loved you better than life itself. That's
why I was willing to risk all to save you.
And now there must be some way out.
If this man deserted you and your child
died, and still he did not come to your
side — why should you ruin your life for
him? Lucretia, I need you and want you.
Don't you care just a little?"

The proprietor of Ye Yellow Flower Pot,
now gone up in smoke, had buried her face
in her handkerchief. Her shoulders were
shaking with emotion.

"Don't cry," he begged. "Forgive me,
Lucretia, for bringing all this up. It was
too soon to talk about it, but a man's
heart will run away with him sometimes,
even if his legs won't let him run in the
regular way."

To his utter astonishment and some-
what to his dismay she took her handker-
chief down from her face, and in place of
the tears and grief he had expected to
see, her sweet face was flushed with
laughter.

"Oh, Adam," she gasped, "it's too funny
for anything!"

"Funny," he ejaculated stiffly. "If
that's the way you look at my feelings for
you — "

which Fayette was so proud, and a white
gowned nurse was ministering to him
briskly. He could hear voices, and in a
moment his heart threatened to stop beat-
ing when he saw that the lady in the soft
gray gown, with a bunch of Violets at
her belt, was none other than Mrs. Lucre-
tia Morton. He startled her when he
spoke so that the color flooded her face
once more.

"It's good of you to come," he said
simply.

"Why, why," she protested, "I couldn't

do less, and — and perhaps you will think I

am. very bold, but as long as my flower

shop is gone and yours without a pro-

ii ietor, father and I have been managing

"No, no, you old goose," she gasped,
choking down another gale of mirth. I m
not laughing at you, but just at things in
general. And I must tell you, Adam, how
I have deceived vou and Fayette, and
then if you still want me — well, that s an-
other story.

"When I came here, the people struck
me as very, very inquisitive and rather
impertinent. I wondered if I was going
to be happv. But we had invested our
monev in this town. We just had to do it,
for the monev came from a friend who was
born here, and who only gave it to me
on the provision that I would come to
this town, invest it and do what I could
to make Favette harmonious, progressive
and artistic. I could think of no better
way of doing it than by opening a flower
shop and ministering in this way. Dad
had been a florist all his life, and he was
delighted. I was glad to make him happy.

"Then, Adam, I ordered a sign — ordered
it to read, 'Miss Lucretia Morton.' And
the sign painter made a mistake and
bought it to me with 'Mrs.' on it in place
of 'Miss.' Suddenly the idea struck me
that I was old enough to be married, and
had often been despised because I was a
spinster. And perhaps being a 'Mrs.
would help me in a business way and

would check foolish curiosity. So I let
it go.

"And Mrs. Betts pieced out the story
of my marital tragedy. Sometimes I was
amused and sometimes I was sorry, but
I saw no way to correct the impression.
So, Adam, when I hoped that my future
husband was alive, I was talking about
you, and — "

Adam Bennett's face was shining.

"Oh, it's too good to be true," he
breathed softly, "and who knows but some
day there may be children that will live."

Lueretia Morton was rosy red.

"Adam," she said, "I have opened up a
market in the city for our cut flowers.
Our business isn't going to be limited to
Fayette. We will serve this whole terri-
tory."

"You bet we will!" glowed Adam.

And that is how it came about that Ye
Yellow Flower Pot was reproduced and
swung from the front of the Bennett
Florist Shop, and graced all the stationery
of the new firm — the firm that thrived
apace, because its ambition was to make
Mowers an everyday necessity, as well as a
company luxury in homes far and near!

Say it with Flowers

A practical application of the value of
flowers to improve the .appearance of a
place could not well be better demon-
strated, than was seen at the Eighth Na-
tional Exhibition of Chemical Industries
held last week at the Grand Central Pal-
ace, New York. Four floors were filled
with exhibits, but to give life and beauty
to these, palms and flowers were used
freely. The effect of the flowers most
certainly did add attractiveness to the
booths. "Say it with Flowers" is good
advice if pleasantness or beauty is de-
sired. Benjamin Hammond.

Almost Human

Is the Uptodate Cash Register in Penn's
Retail Shop

It is difficult to conceive that any mod-
ern invention more nearly approaches
human ability than the new National
cash register installed in the store of
Henry Penn of Boston. Mr. Penn is de-
lighted with the results obtained with it,
and so is the young lady who operates it,
and who kindly explained its intricate
workings to an Exchange representative
the other day.

Eliminating all technical description, so
that our readers may get an immediate
understanding, we will tell just w;hat the
machine does for the bookkeeping and
record departments.

Through the use of designated keys the
following vital phases of each sale are re-
corded : ( 1 ) The identity of the salesman is
indicated by a selected initial. (2) The na-
ture of the sale, whether cash or charge.
(3) The nature of the item sold, whether
cut flowers, plants, pottery or miscellane-
ous, the latter particularly for holiday
specials. (4) The amount of each pur-
chase is shown. (5) As each sale is re-
corded, an office ticket is printed; should
a customer require a receipt, another key
perforates the office ticket so a duplicate
may be run off and used for this purpose.
Over and above these decided conveni-
ences, totals for the day and the month
are given in a form that is of the greatest
value in keeping Mr. Penn in constant
touch with the telltale phases of his busi-
ness.

After a good look into the capabilities
of the machine, one can well believe the
claim of the National Cash Register Co.:
that this machine is the fruit of 14 years'
of effort and improvement and an expendi-
ture of nearly $1,000,000.

Recently, during the absence of the
young lady, who knows the machine "like
a book," a little trouble was experienced
with it. Immediately the N. C. R. Co.

dispatched a man from its factoy at
Dayton, and the machine was in full work-
ing order soon after his arrival in Boston.
Mr. Penn regards this incident as an
exemplification of service of a high order
on the part of the manufacturers.

Without any desire to encroach on Mr.
Penn's good nature, we express the con-
viction that he will be only too pleased to
have the workings of the machine ex-
plained to any member of the trade pass-
ing through Boston. L.

" Undertakers Commissions "

Editor Florists Exchange:

Why should A. M., of New York pay
the undertaker any commission? He is
not entitled to any. Any florist who gives
commission to undertakers on his own
labors is that much out. Let A. M. of
N. Y. ask an undertaker how much com-
mission he will give him (the florist) if
he gets the funeral arrangements through
the florist.

Maybe Mr. Undertaker would give him
the point of his "boot" for having such
nerve. In plain words, the commission
you give the undertaker, you have to
steal from the flower order.

Cut out commissions; let the undertaker
play in his own backyard and A. M., of
N. Y., can do the same.

The Smiths Falls Horticultural Society
held a flower show recently. It was a
great success. James Smith, florist of that
town, is secretary and gave a silver cup
for competition He also was awarded
first prize in several of the classes.

Iceland Poppies are used for a decora-
tive effect around Lake Louise at Laggan,
B. C, on the C. P. R. In central Alberta
and Saskatchewan they are grown for
commercial purposes. The Western Can-
ada, Slavic or Ruthenian settlements in
Alberta in particular, include the culti-
vation of the Poppy as part of their crop,
sometimes to the extent of an acre to a
farm. Oil is extracted from the seed by
a hand process and is used for cooking
and confections. Poppies from seed gath-
ered at Lake Louise are used by Princess
Louise (now the Dowager Duchess of
Argyle) and Queen Mary.

At a recent meeting of the British Co-
lumbia United Seed Growers it was re-
ported that the business booked so far
this year is greater than the total volume
of trade in 1921,

Eleven of the townships in Essex County
are under quarantine as a result of the
European Corn borer making its appear-
ance in certain districts dose to the
United States border. The quarantine
will be continued as long as necessary.
For many months certain kinds of flowers
and vegetables have been barred from the
United States because the borer has been
found in Essex County cornfields.

An important announcement has been
made in regard to horticultural education
at the Ontario Agricultural College,
Guelph. The college will soon have a
new array of greenhouses for experimental
work and lecturing. It is also the inten-
tion to have a modern building for the
teaching of horticulture, with class rooms,
laboratories and potting shed. An ex-
tended course, specializing in horticulture
from the first year, and giving a scientific
and practical course in vegetable and fruit
growing, flowers and landscape gardening,
will be introduced. G. C. K.

St. Louis, Mo. — Miss Mary Capelle of
3533 Wyoming st. is erecting a one story
building to cost $50,000, which Young's

occupy when completed.

George M. Geraghty, manager of Dun-
loris, Ltd., believes that prospects are
bright for a good Fall business. There
have been good crops; the Government is
reducing the country's debt; the building
business has been generally good, with
more homes going up everywhere, more
money should be in circulation than dur-
ing the past few years. Florists generally
should reap the benefit. Mr. Geraghty is
going to Baltimore along with the Toronto
party.

G. W. Warren had a fine window dis-
play of Dahlias, 'Mums and Asters last
week. A display of Chinese Lantern flow-
ers caused considerable comment from
people to whom they were unfamiliar.
Business has been quiet, but there have
been a number of weddings.

J. A. Neal was entering up an F. T. D.
order from one of the Southern States
when The Exchange representative called
last week. His order book gives full in-
formation regarding the order, a copy of
message, addresses, when received and
when delivered and by whom. Mr. Neal
states that the F. T. D. business is grow-
ing and the public are beginning to ap-
preciate and use the service.

G. M. Geraghty, who is a warm sup-
porter of the F. T. D., believes it would
be a mistake to do away with the annual
meetings. He believes in meeting his
customers, and thinks other florists to
whom he sends orders would want to meet
him. It helps business to get acquainted,
and the annual meeting is a means of
doing this. It need not be on a preten-
tious scale, but he believes in getting
together regularly to stimulate business
and keep up the interest of each member
in the F. T. D.

It is expected that the following will
attend the Baltimore annual meeting of
the F. T. D.: J. A. Neal, L. Waters, S. A.
McFadden, H. G. Dillemuth, G. M.
Geraghty and J. J. Higgins. Among the
ladies will be Mrs. Percy Waters and Mrs.
M. Moore of the Peoples Florist. From
outside points will be Wm. Hall of Mon-
treal, and W. W. Gammage of London.

In Sept. 9 issue of The Exchange
"Woolgatherer" refers to the Montreal
C. F. G. A. convention being run on time,
and to the 70 mile drive in particular.
In connection with this, much credit is
due E. J. Hayward and H. J. Eddy.
These two florists traveled over the route
before the convention, and set the time
necessary to see the features at each par-
ticular place. The time of leaving was
given on the route program, and exactly
at that time a bugler in uniform, who
traveled in the "bridal" carriage of the
president, sounded the "fall in," when
each visitor immediately re-entered his
own particular numbered motor car.

Carl Grobba has a rather uniquely built
house at Mimico. This has been erected
across the street from his range. Below
is a concrete built house, on top of which
a 62ft. iron frame King house has been
erected. The eave of this house is 15ft
above the ground. An hydraulic hoist
is used to lift materials to the greenhouse

a very busy week. Large quantities of
Oak, Cycas, Magnolia Lycopodium, besides
Sphagnum, in bales, have taxed the staff
to the uttermost to find room to place
under cover these large shipments. Mr.
Skinner, who has returned from the West,
was able to write up some good business.
Mr. Skinner represents the above firm.

Club Notes

Montreal Gardeners and Florists
met on Wednesday evening last week; the
change from the first Monday to the sec-
ond Wednesday seems to suit most of its
members, judging by the goodly atten-
dance. President Dan McDonald was in
the chair. Two new members were ad-
mitted.

A. Walker gave an interesting paper on
the best methods to produce the Baby
Rambler as an Easter plant from the
time the ripened wood is taken to the fin-
ished plant. The discussion that followed
was of an instructive nature. A very fine
lot of Asters and Dahlias was shown by
Charlie Smith. R. Burrows had two un-
named varieties of Dahlias which were
good.

A dance, with card playing, is to be held
early in October. Mount Royal.

Detroit, Mich.

Trade Brighter

Last week brought a decided change
in the market, except that it is over-
whelmed with Asters. Roses are espe-
cially scarce, although a fair supply is
obtainable early in the day. Gladiolus
shipments have slackened up considerably,
and those coming in now move readily.
Choice Zinnias and Dahlias are now ob-
tainable in quantity. Retailers report
business as being good, the demand being
mostly for funeral wok. The wholesale
houses say the demand is well up to the
average.

News Notes

Berry-Gibson, who purchased the
Charvat greenhouse establishment at 3702
Theodore St., two years ago, will open a
beautiful flower shop on Hamilton blvd.,
at Seward, about Oct. 1. A long lease
has been taken on the store, and the
A. L. Randall Co. of Chicago have been
given the contract for complete fixtures
and accessories. T. L. B.

Business Improving

Business has improved somewhat
the past week' the weather is cool. The
week of the State Fair was the hottest
September week ever experienced; in fact,
the hottest weather in 40 years. In spite
of the hot weather, the Twin City florists
were kept busy with wedding orders.

A shipment of Chrysanthemums from
F. A. Axell, San Francisco, Calif., was
received Saturday, Sept. 16, at the store
of Holm & Olson. The colors were pink,
white and yellow. The flowers were in
good condition and the foliage was clean
and crisp. They came through in re-
frigerator cars, put on by the express
company.

Flower Show in November

At the flower show, fixed for Nov. 11
to 16, the most beautiful girl in the city,
selected by popular vote, will be crowned
as queen of the show. One of her duties
will be to name a new Chrysanthemum.
The exhibition will be in the hands of
Theodore Wirth and a strong committee,
consisting of Max Kaiser, 0. J. Olson, C.
F. Rise and Hans Rosacker.

A "booster" dinner in the interests of
the show will be held on Oct. 3. Max
Kaiser, president of the Minnesota Flo-
rists Association, will have charge of the
arrangements. C. F. E.

Seattle, Wash.

Trade Notes

Sept. 11. — Business generally ap-
pears to be returning to normal conditions
after the usual Summer lull, although an
unusual spell of bright, hot weather, not
generally experienced in September on
this Coast, is causing the owners of Sum-
mer homes to prolong their stay out of the
city, with an accompanying decrease in the
demand for flowers. Reports from the
various stores, however, are quite opti-
mistic, and express the opinion that busi-
ness is good. Our local wholesale house
also reports good business with out of city
trade increasing.

Morgan's Flower Shop has had a fine
window display of Dahlias in various ar-
tistic shades, and some really superb
Queen Charlotte Anemones.

Rosaia Bros, featured their first cut of
Chrysanthemums by a nice display of
Chrysolora in their Third ave. window.

At McCoy's a vase of Centaurea deala-
bata with its showy rose colored flowers
was noted.

The Woodlawn Flower Shop is featur-
ing small, attractive baskets at popular
prices. One such was in black willow,
containing Acrolinum roseum and Gyp-
sophila paniculata. Dave Jones of this
store is on his vacation. Tom Rhodes has
returned, but has not fully recovered from
the operation on his tonsils. A large
funeral order for Everett, Wash., consist-
ing of a casket cover and several other
pieces was executed by this store on Mon-
day, Gus Peterson being in charge.

Among the good things noted at the
Hollywood Gardens store was a large
vase of Aconitum autumnale and bowls of
Viola cornuta purpurea. A very effective
lady's corsage, made up of the latter
flower in conjunction with Butterfly Rose
buds, was noted in process of construction
by Sam Dunlap. Sam has ideas of his
own on the use of flowers.

The Latona Floral Co., Latona ave., J.
Jacobsen, proprietor, has just completed
the addition of two new, 75ft.x25ft., con-
crete and steel houses to their range,
which is devoted to a general line of pot
plants and cut flowers for their local
trade.

Mrs. Geo. Sheffield of Puget Sound
Dahlia fame, Burton, Wash., is making
a display of Dahlias at the main store
of the Chas. H. Lilly Seed Co., First ave.,
Seattle, for one month from Sept. 5.
Many novelties are included in the ex-
hibit, which contains 250 blooms. These
are exchanged three times a week. As
these flowers have to be cut on Vashon
Island, and brought across the Sound be-
fore staging, it is quite an undertaking
for purposes of advertising.

Bob Newcomb is calling on members of
the fraternity in our city. On this occa-
sion I have to be discreet in any statement
concerning Bob, so we will let it go at
that.

Mr. and Mrs. Bianchini, formerly with
the Art Floral Co. of San Francisco, have
arrived in Seattle, after spending seven
months in Europe. They are the guests
of Rosaia Bros. Geo. Cooper.

St. Louis, Mo.

The Market

Since last report, the market has
stiffened considerably. Gladioli and all
outdoor flowers have increased in prices
while Roses and Carnations are firm. Roses
are quoted from 3c. to 15c; Carnations
1c. to 2c; Asters, 4e. to 5c; Gladioli, 4c.
to 6c. These are getting scarcer. At
time of writing weather has become
warmer.

With the coal strike about settled and
railroad situation looking more favorable,
prospects of better business are in sight.
From now on the growers will be kept
busy getting everything in shape. Out-

were specially invited to attend. After
the reading of the minutes, regular busi-
ness followed. The installation of of-
ficers was the feature and after installa-
tion, H. G. Berning spoke on the work
of the committees for the coming Flower
Shows. Two new members were elected.
A very pleasant time was spent after
the meeting, refreshments for all with
specials for the ladies. A rising vote of
thanks was given to Mr. and Mrs. N. A.
Rowe for their entertainment. The mem-
bers visited the Rowe greenhouses and
found everything in fine shape. C. W. W.

Evansville, Ind.

A moderate amount of funeral work and
a small demand for flowers for hospitals
is about all there is for the cut flower
trade. The hot weather shows its effects
on the cut flowers; temperatures ranging
well above 90 are too much for plants as
well as man.

Personals

Mr. and Mrs. Paul M. Halbrooks,
florists, and son Cooper, of Newark, 0.,
after spending sis weeks at Lost Lake,
Sayner, Wis., were visitors with Mr. and
Mrs. Wm. Halbrooks of Evansville the
past week. Mr. Halbrooks reports fishing
good; we know, for we had some fine
lake pike.

Fort Wayne, Ind.

Trade Notes

Business this past week has been
above the average and exceeded all ex-
pectations. All the florists report good
business, which is most unusual for early
September. Cooler weather is claimed to
be the direct cause, coupled with the re-
turn to the city of many residents who
Summer at the lake resorts.

Both wholesalers and retailers com-
pletely cleaned up; had quite a run on
Roses, which are now improving in qual-
ity. There are still some late Asters on
the market, also some early Chrysanthe-
mums. Carnations are also available, but
stems are short.

There have been several large weddings,
which called for many choice flowers, ln-

Cincinnati, 0.

Growers Plan Publicity Campaign

Members of the Cincinnati District
National Flower Growers' Association
have under consideration a plan for rais-
ing funds for a local advertising campaign
is devoted to the advertising fund,
upon the plans carried out by growers of
St. Louis, Chicago and Milwaukee. By
this plan, one per cent of growers' sales
are devoted to the advertising fund.
The matter was recently discussed at the
nursery of Will Schumann, Southgate,
Ky., but no definite action was taken. It
is understood that the majority of the
wholesalers favor the plan, which they
say has been a great stimulant of flower
buying in the cities that have adopted it.

Both dealers and growers here have been
suffering from a glut, the result of the
growing of huge quantities of Dahlias,
Gladioli and Asters by farmers who have
heretofore not been in the flower busi-
ness. Wholesalers are refusing to buy
from them and the consequence is that the
supply has sought a market through de-
partment stores.

J. A. Peterson of J. A. Peterson & Sons,
wholesale plant growers of Westwood, has
just arrived home in good shape after an
interesting trip to Denmark and England.
He will tell us more about his travels in
a subsequent issue.

There is hope of a good Fall trade
now that the strikes are over and busi-
ness men are sanguine of a return to nor-
malcy.

A. Charles Murphy of Price Hill, Cin-
cinnati, is marketing his second crop of
homegrown Roses of the Columbia and

The Market

Sept. 19. — Improvements in the con-
dition of the Wholesale Cut Flower Mar-
ket as far as the demand is concerned are
extremely slow. There are apparently
no large increases in the arrivals of any
items of stock, either from under glass
or out of doors, except Dahlias. Some
items of outside grown stock, which have
been large features for several weeks in
the market, are now on the wane. This
is especially true of Gladioli and, in a
smaller degree, of Asters. There is, how-
ever, more than enough of every item of
stock to meet the present demand, and
such being the case, any marked increase
in prices can hardly be expected.

American Beauty Eoses are in medium
supply. Special grade blooms are bringing
20c. to 50c. each, a considerable advance
over last week's quotations; other grades
are selling at proportionate prices. Other
Roses also are in medium supply, but the
quality in general is far from excellent,
and we are told that there will be no
great improvement until the growers be-
gin to put on heat in their greenhouses.
The top grade blooms now arriving are
in most cases, no higher grades than ex-
tras and fancies; they are selling at 6c. to
12c. each in general, but Crusader is
realizing 15c, and Key 35c. No. 2 grade
blooms are fetching $1 to $1.50 per 100.

The arrivals of Carnations are increas-
ing steadily, and the quality from week
to week shows improvement. The demand
is only moderate, at prices ranging from
$1 to $3 per 100.

Cattleyas are in somewhat larger sup-
ly, and as there is no corresponding in-
crease in, demand, prices are weaker, rang-
ing in general from 50c. to $1.25 each.
Lily of the Valley also shows a slight
decline in price, and is selling to satisfy
a moderate demand at $4 to $8 per 100
Prices on several kinds of Lilies remain
about the same as last week, namely $15
to $20 per 100 for longiflorum and $5
to $6 for rubrum and allium, but of the
last very few are seen in the market,
'gardenias of the higher grade are not in
large supply, but there appears to be
plenty of the lower grade. The range of
prices covering all grades is $1 to $3 per

Gladioli are no longer in large supply;
those arriving may be arranged in two
classes namely flowers of very poor qual-

j / are hard t0 sel1 at aQy price,
and a few of excellent quality, which are
meeting with a fair demand at $2 to $3
and occasionally $4 per 100. The arrivals
ot Asters, while not as large as last week
are still far beyond the demand for them
We see m our walks through the whole-
sale market tens of thousands of them
being crowded into and stamped down
into boxes ready to go to the dump. Those
which are sold command a price of about
25c to $1.50 per 100. There are a few
upbtate Asters coming into the market
which are of excellent quality and are
realizing $3 to. U per 100, and in some
cases a little higher figure.

The supply of Chrysanthemums is in-
creasing slowly The varieties seen are
Jjrolden Glow, Smith's Advance and Oc-
tober Frost. Prices range from $1.50 to
$3 and occasionally $4 per doz. There
are considerable arrivals of Tritoma
1 S„ 11 mee*lng with a fair sale at $1.50
to $2.50 per 100. A limited supply of
iuberose, as good as we have ever seen
in the market, realizes about. $1 per doz
stalks. Other considerable arrivals are
of Conoelinium, a favored blue flower at
this season of the year, which meets with
fair sale at 15c. to 25c. a bunch. Very

little Delphinium is seen. It is selling
at about 15c. to 25e. a bunch.

There are medium arrivals of Zinnias
and Marigolds, which can only be moved,
if moved at all, at a low price, but the
dominant flower now is -the Dahlia. On
account of the recent and present cool
weather, these are of excellent qualitv,
arriving, when well packed, in very salable
condition. They are meeting with a me-
dium demand, prices ranging for the bet-
ter blooms of the standard varieties at
$2 to $4 per 100, and for select blooms
of the choice varieties at $5 to $8 and
occasionally $10 per 100.

Greens of all kinds, both indoor grown
and hardy, are moving out rather slowly
in sympathy with the present demand for
cut flowers.

Vacations Finished

The florists, both wholesale and re-
tail in this city, are practically all back
in their places of business. The increase
in business is very small, in fact, hardly
perceptible. It is a case of "watchful
waiting." But, "All things come to those
who wait," it has been said, that is, wait
with armor on, ready for action, ready to
take advantage of any business oppor-
tunity which presents itself. Undoubtedly
the florist business in this city will become
larger and larger as the season advances,
until the volume of flower sales will be
greater, perhaps, before the swallows fly
next Spring than this city ever before
experienced. Let us hope so, at any rate.
Let us be optimistic, for optimism is an
excellent basis on which to build up busi-
ness, and pessimism a very poor founda-
tion indeed.

News Notes

The Horticultural Society of New
York will hold a Dahlia exhibition in the
Museum Building, New York Botanical
Garden, Saturday, Sept. 23, and Sunday,
Sept. 24, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
At 4 p.m., in the Museum Building, on
Sept. 23, there will be a lecture on Dahlias
and their culture, by Dr. Marshall A.
Howe.

M. A. Bowe, the well known retail flo-
rist of 332 Fifth ave., reports that he is
receiving a considerable number of or-
ders for flowers used in welcoming home
those who are returning on the incoming
steamers. A few quiet weddings and some
bouquet outfits are helping business. Ken-
neth Bowe has returned from his annual
vacation, which he passed at Asbury Park,
N. J.

Recent store renovation and changes
help, we note, to make the wholesale flower
store of Doyle & Booth, at 116 W. 28th
St., in excellent shape for taking care of
their Fall business. Doyle & Booth, as
is well known, are large receivers of or-
chids and Gardenias, and handle a con-
siderable number of choice Roses, and also
specialize in Violets in their season.

At Henry M. Robinson Co., 55-57 W.
26th st. and 430 Sixth ave., we noted this
week the best Gladioli we have ever
seen in the market in mid-September.
The varieties offered were King, America,
Schwaben and Panama. These were grown
by Van Bourgondien Bros., Babylon, L. I.
This company is also handling some Dahlia
blooms of excellent quality.

Some of the finest Carnations which
we have noted so far this season we saw
this week at M. C. Ford's, 43 W. 18th St.,
and also some well grown yellow and white
Mums.

We regret to learn that Samuel C.
Gilbert, the wideawake and popular whole-
sale florist of 43 W. 18th St., has been
confined at his home for the past week
on account of a severe atack of nervous
indigestion. His many friends hope for
his speedy recovery, and to see him soon
agam at his place of business.

The question often comes up about the
possibility and feasibility of shipping

DAHLIAS

You will find on sale here every morning at 7 a.m. the finest selection

of DAHLIAS ever shipped to any market. All the standards and the

finest of all the new ones. Come and see them and if there are any that

flowers into the New York City market
from distant points. We saw on Monday
of this week, at the Henshaw Floral Co.,
43 W. 28th st., a considerable number of
Chrysanthemums, some of them of the
large white incurved Japanese varieties,
and others of the recurved Japanese pink
varieties, both of the narrow and the
broad petaled type, which came from
Petersen's in Hamburg, Germany. These
flowers arrived on Saturday, Sept. 16, on
the S. S. Resolute. Mr. Petersen has
the concession for flower shops on all of
the steamers of the United States Line.

An Appreciation

I wish to say a few words concerning
the Trip de Luxe of the New York Flo-
rists Club to the S. A. F. convention at
Kansas City, and return via the North-
west and the Great Lakes. I see that
"Uncle Dick" Vincent, A. L. Miller and
W. Cleaver Harry have already given
quite a little account of the party.

Although not a member of the Florists
Club, I was included in the company, and
I am deeply grateful to those who made
the trip so pleasant for me, especially to
Mr. and Mrs. Pennock and their daugh-
ters and Mr. and Mrs. Reis of Union Hill,
N. J.

Also my many thanks to C. B. Tinsman,
our manager, with his always smiling face.
As The Florists Exchange has already
put it, all we did was to sit and let
'George do it all." Wasn't it so? I
never met a nicer man, and I hated to
part from all my companions at Bing-
hamton.

"God be with us all until we meet
again."

Club News

The first of the Fall meetings of
the Scranton Florists Club was held at
the Elks Club on Sept. 13. About 50
members were in attendance. The chief
topic of the meeting was the flower show,
which is to be held on Nov. 7, 8, 9 and
10, and judging from the reports this

year's show will be the! 'banner one.
Chairman B. E. Cook of the show com-
mittee asks the cooperation of all mem-
bers in putting the show over. Private
growers are taking a big interest in the
affair, and no doubt we can look for some
good exhibits. So the slogan from now
on is 'Show! Show! Show and Show!"

Your scribe was out of town the past
week, attending the American Legion
convention at Williamsport ; hence lack of
news. The writer was elected a State
delegate of the "La Societe Forty Hommes
et Eight Chevaux" (the box car fun so-
ciety of the Legion) to the National Con-
vention at New Orleans, Oct. 16 to 20.

Another Oil Burner

A rotary oil burner, the product of
a local inventor, recently installed in the
new Sheffield School Building, was given
a tryout last Monday, proving satisfactory
in every way. One of the main features
is that it burns oil of a low grade costing,
at the present time, only 2>^c. per gallon.
It is claimed to be O. K. for greenhouse
heating purposes.

Frank Jencek of Jamestown has sold
his entire stock of Heaths and Azaleas.
Next year he proposes to increase the out-
put; to him it appears that no matter
how many he raises, it will be impossible
to meet the demand.

The sale this week of the James Still-
man estate, Oak Lawn, to William Fahnes-
tock of New York, is reported. J. Nor-
man DeR. Whitehouse has bought 10%
acres of land on Ocean ave., upon which
it is said a Summer residence is to be
built. A.McL.

Brooklyn. N. Y. — A. Warendorff, flo-
rist, of 55 Liberty st., New York City,
will open a new branch store at 45 New-
kirk Plaza, Brooklyn, in about two tweeks'
time.

Buffalo. N. Y. — A new flower shop has
recently been opened at 2924 Main st. It
is under the management of Henry M.
Elbers.

Anton Then is offering his old es-
tablished business for sale on Larabee St.,
including a seven room residence. He
wishes to retire and spend the remainder
of his years in California where he has
other interests. His son, John, who has
been in Red Bluff, Cal., for the past few
years has returned to Chicago. He in-
tends to make his future home here.

Irving Stein Co. has leased for a num-
ber of years, a large warehouse and of-
fices at Fifteenth st. and Blue Island ave.,
where it will go more extensively into
the manufacture of its specialties for
the florist trade, and add besides, the
manufacturing of many other commodi-
ties for the florists' supply trade.

The large store of W. J. Smyth, at 31st

overhauling; A portion of the store fac-
ing 31st st. is being partitioned off and

of fish that was going forward by parcel
post. There was high expectancy as to
the fish and a big fry was proposed. True
to promise, the fish arrived Saturday, but
it brought dismay. It was a box of sar-
dines.

J. A. Pacquett, until recently with Ran-
dolph & MeClements of Pittsburgh, Pa.,
has joined the sales forces of the Alpha

Arthur Graves, superintendent of the
Bloomington Cemetery, Bloomington, 111.,
was in the city Saturday accompanied by
his wife and daughter on their way to
Cleveland, O., where he went to be in-
itiated into the thirty-third and sublime
degree of Masonry. As a cemetery super-
intendent, the name Graves has a signifi-
cant application which has made him the
subject of many jokes at the hands of
newspaper punsters. The Line 'o Type or
Two in the Chicago Daily Tribune has
long since placed him in their gallery of
immortals.

The tearing down of the old greenhouses
at the Geo. Wittbold establishment at
Buckingham place to make room for large
apartment buildings is in progress. The
demolition of a 135ft. smokestack the
past week was the cause of much excite-
ment in the neighborhood; it fell in a
different direction from that planned by
the wreckers and tore completely away
three rear porches from an adjoining
building. Fortunately no one was hurt.

Mrs. Jos. Huttonbach, who bought out
Chas. Garbig on Irving Park blvd., about
a year ago, has found business so good
that an extension of the store is neces-
sary. There is also a general overhauling
and decoration in progress; the interior
is being treated to white enamel.

Henry Dunn, on N. Clark st. has in-
stalled a handsome electric sign and is
putting his store in shape for Fall trade.
He finds business good in his neighbor-
hood.

Geo. Dahm, 4326 N. Leavitt st., planted
the last of his cold storage L. giganteums
the past week. He has been cutting con-
tinuously all the Summer. He is plan-
ning for an extensive Fall trade. Im-
provements in his greenhouses including
boiler extension to give increased heating
capacity are under way.

The next regular meeting of the Com-
• mercial Flower Growers of Chicago will
be held at the Randolph Hotel Thurs-
day evening, Sept. 21. This is the first
meeting after the Summer season and all
members are urged to attend. The coal
situation will be reviewed and other im-
portant matters will come up for consid-

eration on which the counsel of all mem-
bers is sought.

T. E. Waters, chairman of the good of
the club committee of the Chicago Flo-
rists Club, reports all arrangements com-
plete for the next club meeting, which
will be held at the establishment of Stie-
low Bros., Niles Center. The purpose of
this meeting is to give the members an
opportunity to inspect up to date system
recently installed there, of heating with
crude oil. It is to be an afternoon meet-
ing, so the greenhouses and heating sys-
tem can be inspected in daylight. A
business meeting and supper will be served
at one of the nearby hostelries after the
inspection trip. This proposes to be one
of the most interesting meetings in a long
time. Heating by . oil is a matter of
great interest to the growers these days
when the coal problem is so uncertain.

Trade Notes

September has proved an excellent
month for business for retail florists and
the prospect is for a fine run of trade this
Fall. One florist has already booked five
orders for weddings in October. The wedding
business has been unusually large through
the Summer and Fall, but apparently all the
prospects have not been mated yet. The
number of weddings at church and home,
where ministers officiate, has been surh-
ciently large, so that florists have not been
alarmed over any reported tendency of young
people to seek J. P.'s for the purpose. Recent
declarations against "civil marriages by a
judge does, however, suggest that there must
be some people, perhaps mostly older
couples, who fail to understand the dignity
of the ceremony — or the propriety of invest-
ing it with appropriate floral surroundings.

Among several large funerals, one of
especial importance the past week was that
of J. W. Garvey, an insurance manager who
left an estate of nearly a million dollars.
Mr. Garvey was shot to death by his son in
his office, during an altercation in which
the father is said to have threatened the
son's fife. . ,,

Chrysanthemums are coming m goodly
volume and quality from California, and are
meeting with fair demand. The retail price
is around $10 a doz.

The new speedway at Kansas City was to
have been opened Saturday, September lb,
with several speed classics. A dozen noted
drivers were here with their cars to par-
ticipate, but rain caused postponement ol
the races. Florists had anticipated consider-
able business from this event, which drew
thousands of people from out of town, the
ticket sale indicating attendance around
50,000. The chief sales were expected lor
the events following the races.

The Stuppy Supply Co. moved its estab-
lishment September 16 to ground floor quar-
ters at 1012 Oak st., just two doors north ol
the building in which the company opened
about a year ago. The new rooms have
about the same space as the upstairs quarters
formerly occupied.

Grass seed is a leader with retailers in
September, and most of them have packages
done up neatly ready for handing over to

last few months away from the city. The
opening of the schools and the recent change
to cooler weather is sending the people back
to town. There have occurred [several night
frosts in the more exposed sections near Bos-
ton, making for an appreciable reduction in
the production of outdoor flowers. The
recent heavy rains have caused havoc among
Asters and other outdoor crops and the cool
nights, combmed with a reluctance on the
part of greenhouse men to start the fires,
have helped to retard the output of Roses,
Carnations, etc. Coal is considered precious
property and is carefully hoarded by those
fortunate enough to possess it. Taking all
these conditions together, they have shown a
tendency to reduce the supply to a point
where it can be handled, more so, since the

occurrence of many weddings and an increase
in social functions are creating a better call.

New Market Site

Some real excitement has been caused
in the market by the announcement that a
site has definitely been decided upon for the
new market building. From official sources,
the news has leaked out that the Cyclorama
building on Tremont St. near Berkeley, has
been bought and will be made ready for
occupancy by the market in January.

Roses are arriving in sufficient quantity
to supply the none too lively demand, and
therefore have not appreciated in price as
against a week or two ago. American Beauty
commands from 30c. to 40c. for specials,
and sells fairly well, in fact, a little better
than a while ago. Other Roses are cleaning
up dady at prices ranging from 3c. for 6in.
to 10c. and 12c. for 21in. stock of best grade.
There is a surplus of 9in. Roses which is
rather hard to move at times. White Roses
which advanced sharply a week ago, are back
again on a level with other varieties. Mont
gomery's new Commonwealth is being re-
ceived regularly and finds a favorable recep-
tion on all sides.

Carnations are making headway in every
direction. Sizeable shipments of fair quality
are arriving daily, finding takers at from
2c. to 4c. without much trouble. So far,
Matchless, Morning Glow, Ward and Beacon
are the only varieties noted. Gladioli are
beginning to be appreciated as the supply
dwindles. Good spikes of the best sorts
bring as much as 75c. and SI per doz. In-
ferior stock can be had for 35c. to 50c. If
real frost should hold off for a few weeks
some growers are going to make money.

Chrysanthemums do not cut much of a
figure, as yet. Scattering small lots of Early
Frost, Yellow Frost, October Frost, Golden
Glow and Smith's Advance find a rather dis-
sappointing demand and bring from SI. 50 to
S3 per doz. Asters have had a hard time of
it on account of so much heavy rain and
wind; they show it too, many shipments
looking dilapidated and ragged. Really
good Asters are scarce. The supply is not
overlarge nor is the demand strong. Aver-
age quality stock makes from 2c. to 3c.

The first Pansies have made their appear-
ance, selling for 13-£c. Once in a while a few
Sweet Peas can be seen. White and colored
Lilies are not in the market at present, but
there is enough of white and colored Candy-
tuft and Gypsophila. Single Chrysanthe-
mums are offered by one or two growers and
sell after a fashion. Tuberoses are neglected,
so are Cosmos, Zinnias and Celosias, of which
latter there is quite a good supply. Bachelor
Buttons, Marigold, Feverfew, Statice, Gail-
lardia, Lupin, Stokesia and other minor
flowers find their normal sale.

Lily of the Valley, on account of many
weddings, took quite a jump a week ago,
selling as high as 15c. Now it is 8c. to 12c.
Some exceedingly line stock is to be had.
No Gardenias or orchids are offered in the
market. The retailers are receiving Cattleya
Fabia, Gaskelliana and one or two others
direct from the growers, paying from SI to
S2.50 per bloom. Cypripedium insigne is
also to be had at 33 per doz., while hybrid
sorts cost up to S6.

There is an abundance, if not a surplus
of Asparagus Sprengeri and plumosa. Quite
a few lots of Cyclamen and Begonia plants
are for sale, finding occasional buyers.
Boston Ferns also are offered in small lots.

News Notes

Houghton Gorney, under the Park
street church, have signed the contract

for an ice machine, which will be the sec-
ond installation in the city.

The show windows at Galvins on Park
st. are showing extremely handsome ar-
rangements wherein Crotons, Cibotiums
and other ferns and Dracaenas are used to
set off the display of Chrysanthemums,
white Lilies, Gladioli, Celosias and Del-
phiniums. Charles Lynch, designer at
the store, has waited until the Summer's
heat has abated and takes his vacation
now. He started off, by way of New
York city and intends to land in Montreal
in due time.

Temple place, extensive alterations and
improvements have been made in the two
large show windows. The length of the]
windows has been doubled; mirrors the
whole length of the sides make the dis-
plays very effective. The interior of
the store has also received much atten-
tion from the architect who has planned
an arrangement of marble tables and
shelves which give an abundance of room
for additional displays. This store has
recently received a large assortment of
the latest and finest imported glass and
crockery ware.

Jerry K. Chandler, of Tewksbury, and

A Tip for Rose Growers

While all Rose growers, probably, ,
are aware of the fact that a certain
amount of clay in the soil is almost in-
dispensable if Roses are expected to do
their best, there are many who must and
do get along well with soil that contains
not a particle of clay. These latter, if
they wish, may easily mix with their
soil as much clay as they see fit, if they
procure the clay from some pot manufac-
turing establishment. H. A. Hews' pot-
tery in Cambridge has for many years -
provided certain successful Rose grow-
ers with this material. This clay comes
in a very finely powdered form which
mixes thoroughly with any soil. It is
actually run through sieves as fine as
those used to sift flour, and sells at a
very low price. Light soils can be con-
siderably improved with this commodity.

The Real Duty of a Trade Paper

Apparently we weren't the only ones
whose risibles were tickled by G. Thorn-
men's "epistle to the Bostomans" of a
couple of weeks ago. We have been
privileged to read a letter from a grower
to Mr. Thommen which says, in part:

"Just a few lines to tell you how
much I enjoyed your version of the
flower market's dullness. You are giv-
ing a literary touch to a technical paper
which makes me read it (or rather your
report) as I read other magazines. Tour
storv almost reconciled me to the dis-
appointing effects of low Gladiolus

Here is first hand proof of something
we, for a long time, have felt to be true,
namely, that the mission of a trade pa-
per includes more than the crude, im-
personal, mechanical reporting of prices,
opinions and events. As a matter of fact
we believe that the average reader —
whether he realizes it or not — looks for
something more than cold facts and fig-
ures. The knowledge that, with the co-
operation of our correspondents, we are
successful in really interesting encourag-
ing and cheering our readers, as the
above letter testifies, is gratifying indeed.

The Market

The market is a trifle stronger than
a week ago, but that is to say the demand
is better. The Dahlia is the leading
flower of the day, and they are moving
fairly well in some varieties. Carnations
are reappearing in small lots; quotations
are from lc. to 2c. Roses are plentiful,
and they are moving off at a low figure.
Asters are less in numbers, and what are
arriving show the signs of wear. There
is -no increase in the arrivals of Chrys-
anthemums. There are more Easter Lines,
and prices are holding up to 20c. Gladioli
are becoming scarce and their season is
near an end. The supply of Valley and
orchids is sufficient for the few early Fall
weddings. The miscellaneous flowers con-
tinue in good supply, as well as the gen-
eral run of greens.

News Notes

Charles H. Grakelow returned from
Europe, Sept. 17, and was accorded a
wonderful reception in New York on his
arrival, a full account of which is to be
found elsewhere in these columns. Mr.
Grakelow was away less than a month, and
as he tells us, it was to get a rest, and he
got it. He went over in the Majestic in
five days, and Charlie says he slept nearlj
all the way over. Maybe? He came back
on the Celtic in eight days, and he slept
nearly all the way over. So he says? In
the interim he spent two days in Paris
and two days on the battlefields, one day
in Antwerp, one day in Brussels and a
day in London. Charlie is noted for his
speed; that's the reason they call him
"Hurry Up Charlie."

Sydney H. Bayersdorfer was operated
on for appendicitis on Sept. 12, and at
the store it is reported that he is expected

to be back on the job in another week.

Victor I. Ridenour is reported to be
seriously ill with pneumonia, at his home
in Logan.

S S Pennock returned from JNew Eng-
land, Sept. 17, renewed in vigor and
health. .

There was one postponed game in the
ball league played last week: Pennock s
beat the Retailers by the score of 4 to 3.
This does not affect the standing of the
leaders, but ties Pennock's and Dreer's for
the cellar honors. The Niessen team has
strengthened its pitching staff for next
season. It has acquired Russell Copestake,
lately with the Pennock's. The purchase
price is a secret, but I think they got him
over the waiver route. ,

The Henry E. Michell Co. entertained
over 700 people at their outing at Anda-
lusia on Sept. 14, as described in our issue
of last weelv.

At the Shriners' convention at Atlantic
City, on Sept. 16, Jacob Deutscher covered
himself with honors, by leading his "Le-
gion of Honor" squad to the first prize
in the drilling contest.

J. Otto Thilow has been to Cleveland
for a few days. .

I just discovered that "Phil" had hied
himself to Camden. No, gentle reader, not
N. J., but Me. „ ,,.

The first annual Autumn Dahlia exhibi-
tion of the Camden Dahlia Society will
be held September 29 and 30, at 530
Market St., Camden, N. J. The judges will
be James Clark and S. S. Pennock.

Mark Mills and John Prince missed a
good day's fishing when Harry Jones
cleaned up the tank in the Bellevue win-
dow. Harry did not do any casting, but
caught them with his hands, and his efforts
in landing them pleased a large crowd on
Walnut st. He landed six goldfish and
one silver one, besides two turtles. Judg-
ing from Harry's sulphurous remarks, one
of the turtles got him. I believe he is
going to send the fish to the mint to have
them refined.

customers. Some florists go to a little trouble
to wrap up the grass seed neatly — even
putting seals on them, to enhance the im-
pression of value.

Miss Collins, bookkeeper for the Alpha
Floral Co., is the subject of sympathy be-
cause of the loss of her mother, who died a
few days ago.

"Jimmy" Hayes, Topeka florist, was one
of the enthusiasts who came to Kansas City
for the motor races which were to have been
held Saturday — and stayed over until Mon-
day hoping they would be held then.

As Priests of Pallas week, October 2 to 7,
approaches, evidences increase that it will
be a fruitful season for all classes of business,
the florists getting their full share. The
most important event from many standpoints
will be a Fashion Show in Convention Hall
Friday evening of that week, arranged by
the merchants, when men's and women's
apparel will be shown on 100 living models.
Speakers have appeared before various civic
clubs to exploit the show, and secure support
and promises to attend. It is to be made a
society event, of a different nature from, but
perhaps quite as "dressy" as the grand ball
that will be held Thursday evening of P. O. P.
week. An admission charge will be made for
the show, so that it will have for visitors
those who will be most likely to use flowers.

Isherwood Takes Over Pinehurst Co.

R. L. Isherwood has bought the bank-
rupt Pinehurst Floral Co. assets. The sale
was made on Saturday, September 9, by
Joseph M. Jones, trustee. Mr. Isherwood
has been running the bankrupt company for
some time.

Business Difficulties

John A. Hodgdon, doing business as the
Hub Nursery and Seed Co. and the Con-
solidated Nursery and Seed Co., Saugus,
Mass., has filed a petition in bankruptcy.
Liabilities are placed at $5216.55, with
assets of but $264.

Trade Notes

Due to reversion to warmer weather,
in fact, hot weather, the flower business has
again quieted down; this probably to remind
us that Summer is not over, according to
the calendar, until Sept. 22. All lines of
stock are cotnplete but begin to show quality
is dropping off. At that, however, flowers
are better and the variety greater than in
previous years.

Asters are greatly in oversupply, not so
much on account of the let up in business,
but because the late crop of Asters is at its
height and they cannot all be consumed.
Single Asters clean up at sight. These flowers
are in great favor and are unexcelled for
table work. They have all the good qualities of
the double Aster and gracefulness as well.
Gladioli galore are with us; Roses are
popping out overnight on account of the
heat; Carnations are also plentiful, but the
new crop is still short and thrip has worked
overtime. Sweet Peas must be used the
day they arrive or they decorate the garbage
wagon. Orchids and Valley are plentiful
and of excellent quality. Zinnias, and more
Zinnias are decorating all the shops; the
miniature Zinnias are quite popular for
basket arrangements. The first of the
perennial Asters have arrived and are finding
many a place to help table and basket work.

Celosia, Cyclamen and Primroses have the
pot plant field to themselves and their sale
has dropped considerably on account of the
hot weather. Ferns and palms are moving
fairly.

The first practice game of the bowling gang
saw a heavy turnout and it will not be hard
to get a crackerjack team together. The
spirit of the bunch is fine and, from the
looks of the score, there will be a little com-
petition for the regiment who will cross the
Columbia. No matter who goes, they will
defend the club with honor.

O. E. Panzer is cutting about 100 bunches
of single Asters a day, and he says he has
not enough to go around. Some very fine
late Asters are also being cut from this range.

On account of the exhibits that members
of the Oregon Florists Club will make at the
State Fair, it has been decided to turn the
evening over to a jaunt at the Fair so there
will be no meeting on Sept. 26. Members
are urged to make a day of it and bring their
families.

George Teufel has been very busy of late
supplying quantities of Vine Maple for the
many small decorations that the recent
Episcopalian convention called for.

The Rahn & Herbert Co. have been
sending the first Cyclamens to the market;
these have been enjoying a ready sale.

Henry Clemmens of Smelt Farm fame
is sending in some very fine Asters from his
place at Newburg. His Marigolds are
wonders and his Peas as fine as the season
will permit. H. N.

Marshall, Mo. — The Marshall Floral
Co. has contracted with the American
Greenhouse Mfg. Co. of Chicago to erect
for them two greenhouses at a cost of
$12,000, the work to be started this month.

Getting Under Way in 1923

Northern growers have now begun to
think of 1923.

Already we have booked several green-
house orders for early bpring delivery
and the number of inquiries that we are
receiving daily indicates that growers are
looking ahead to a big year.

The best time to buy flowers is when
you want them. But the best time to
buy greenhouses is in the manufacturer's
off-season.

Paying Points
of the V-Bar Greenhouse

V-Bar was designed to accomplish a definite object, letting
into the greenhouse the greatest possible amount of sunlight. The
only way to get move sunlight into a greenhouse would be to dis-
pense with the bars altogether, which, of course, is impossible.
The efficiency of the light, rustless V-Bar is typical of the entire
construction. In the matters of heating, ventilation, lasting quali-
ties, economy of operation and maintenance, every feature is worked
out scientifically to accomplish its definite purpose in the highest
degree and with the least possible waste.

That is why you find V-Bar greenhouses on the finest estates, and
gardeners everywhere tell us of the satisfactory results they are
obtaining. We shall be glad to tell you' where you can see one in
operation and judge for yourself.

Advance sheets of our catalog will be sent you on request, together
with any further information you desire; or one of us will call upon
you if you wish.

The superior quality and low cost of King greenhouses
will interest you. Write for the bulletins on semi-iron, pipe

CHICAGO • GREENHOUSE • CONSTRUCTION • COMPANIES

The success of the Great Chicago Wholesale Cut Flower Market and the large increase in capital invested is due to the superior class of greenhouses which have been
built. This has been accomplished by the fact Chicago boasts of a large number of greenhouse construction companies with facilities for the work equal to that in any other
city. The following comprises the leading Chicago Greenhouse Architects, Heating Engineers, Ventilation Experts, Lumber Dealers, and Greenhouse Builders' Supplies.

Curt Thimm

of Roslyn

Says Strong Things About His L. & B. Boiler

Being Number Two of the Long Island Trail Hits

Leaving our camp trailer at Bertanzel's we next made for Curt
Thimm's. Wanted particularly to see him and hear what he had
to say about his L. & B. Tubular Steel Boiler. Of course, we knew
what the boiler could do. But, what a boiler can do and what it
does do, are sometimes quite different. Just as some can drive
a car and get so much more mileage from their tires than their
neighbor, who has the same make, the same kind of tires and
drives over the same roads.

Thimm's boiler is 135 horse power. It takes care of 60,000
square feet. Not only takes care of it, but "does it with ease,"
as Thimm says. He particularly emphasized how easy it was
to fire and how completely he can control the fire. Another

thing he mentioned was that there is scarcely any smoke from the
chimney, which fact proves most conclusively how perfect the
combustion is. He further mentioned that he had fewer ashes
than with other boilers he had used. Which fact is only another
proof of the perfect combustion its big tubes make possible.

The fact that Mr. Thimm gets such results by burning even the
lower grades of fuel, carries still further convincement. It's a lot
of satisfaction to talk to a man who knows exactly what he is
talking about, like he does. Knows not only the -what but the why
as well.

Sometime soon we will have a chat together about F. Kuhne of
Hicksville.

American Dahlia Society

NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER 26 to 30

Greatest Show Yet!

/pMIE greatest show of Dahlias ever held. And it's
true, for nowhere on the two continents where
r Dahlias count has such an array of blooms ever
{fore been got together. But, and it's a big but, it
Jd its failings. Maybe every show has if one seeks
:r them, but they should not hit one in the eye so to
ieak. The A. D. S. is not a beginner in the art of
uging shows — one can overlook shortcomings at a
st effort, but the A. D. S. has now eight years' ex-
•rience, and should therefore be in a position to
age a show that runs like a clock, so that exhibitors,
dges, reporters and visitors can go the rounds with-
it a feeling of irritation and helplessness.
iThis writer is not. wholly innocent of the fact that
t is far from perfect, but he has spent a few years
bong horticultural shows. He has done his bit of
chibiting, both competitive and non-competitive ; he
ks worked all night ; slept on benches under canvas ;
'l-ved on committees and what not, so that it comes
iturai to him to meet with discomforts. But the
L D. S. show drawbacks to a reporter are real; and
\ others concerned doubtless equally so.
! And the trouble? Can it be the lack of a show
anager, too much left to one man, or is the show
iimmittee at fault? Of course, the real trouble is
iat the Pennsylvania roof garden halls are not
parly large enough for the A. D. S. show; that is a
toblem that must be dealt with if the show is to be
p asset to the society, and it is. But which is most
pportant, purely trade exhibits or space for com-
etitors and comfort for visitors, is a question to
pcide. The trade support is essential and the good
pilars they pay for trade space do much to swell
ae coffers of the society, but the competitors and
pe visitors who pay to see the show are also entitled
li consideration. With all due regard to the trade
xhibitors, and the importance of their displays, it
just be admitted that they are not entitled to the
atire works. Every praise must be accorded those
rowers who utilize their space to the best advantage;
;ie public delights to see such displays ; they learn
j:oni them, the decorative value of Dahlias and also
:ie show quality of the flowers. But after the big
iidividual bloom classes, additional trade displays of
tie same kind begin to pall. Serried masses of jars
ind separate blooms demand lots of space and it is
ais writer's view that considerable space has been
wasted by this sort of repetition. We have seen in-
nitely better and more educational trade displays
lade on wall space 6ft.x4ft. than were to be seen at
his show on 100 sq. ft. Exhibits like those of John
'Cheepers, Inc., W. A. Burpee & Co., and a few others
re a delight; the space is worthily filled.
This, however, is not a report on the trade ex-
ibits; that is dealt with by abler hands elsewhere.
Ve are concerned with the competitive exhibits for
rhich insufficient space was available particularly
be vase classes. It is a crime that magnificent vases
f bloom be jammed in heaps, sometimes even rele-
ated to the floor. We can imagine the feelings of the
ompetitors; and we feel sorry for the judges, too,
f they were on the spot to do their duties at the
ight time and had to wait three hours, by which
ime the public were flocking in.

The doors were open at 3 p.m., but at 10 p.m. when
his writer retired, the judging was still incom-
lete, not a prize slip was to be seen on any exhibitor's
ard. True, the judges pencilled their decisions on the
ards, but they had no stewards to follow with prize
lips. Whether the judges found all the exhibits we
:now not. With few exceptions the classes were not
xouped in consecutive order, but this was a minor
letail compared with the trouble of finding the classes
aixed up, and the occasionally prize winning vases
rere removed to other points before even the official
irize slip was attached.

Under the circumstances the awards list here given
s neither official nor complete.

Sections not marked on the tables, entries coming
n at all times, failing entries and so forth, all com-
lined to make any effort at a constructive report in-
effective.

Our efforts on Wednesday morning were nullified
>y the fact that the official awards list was not ob-
;ainable ; attendance at the annual meeting made it
'urther impossible to copy the awards.

So far as we could judge many classes were strongly
:ontested. Our schedule with its marks suggests,
lowever, that some classes were not represented, or
lad become buried; this applies to the open classes
particularly. The private gardener and amateur we

made no attempt to overseer, but we saw enough to
indicate that these sections contained some of the
best blooms in the show. We confess that a class
calling for 24 varieties is infinitely more interesting
than one calling for 100 varieties, which may be
padded up with inferior blooms. Certainly the ex-
hibits in the private classes by F. Frelinghuysen,
Elberon, N. J., were a lesson in staging even quality
flowers.

Some Classes as Seen

The big class for 100 blooms distinct brought out
seven entries, and J. H. Wiegand, New Haven, Conn.,
scored a fairly conclusive win. Amun Ra, The Sheik,
Shudow's Lavender, Bonnie Bray, Millionaire and
Setting Sun were a few of the most telling. While
the class calls for four types at least, it is fairly
obvious that in a class like this, only the big things
are wanted or have a chance, so that Decoratives, Hy-
brid Cactus and giant Peonies are the vogue. Sarah
M. Wakeman, Southport, Conn., was a good second,
with W. L. W. Darnell, East Moriches, N. ¥., taking
third place. The rest, well, they just ran.

With 50 varieties, Stewart & Fisher, Trenton, N. J.,
easily scored with a grand lot of blooms fresh as the
proverbial paint. Specially fine were Bonnie G., pink
cactus; Mount Shasta, Millionaire, Sulphur King,
Amber Glow, Vasanta, bronze ; and Junior, a fine deep
pink. J. H. Wiegand followed with some excellent
flowers; Marion McCreedy, Gladys Sherwood, Judge
Marean, Viola Bryant, a grand scarlet, and Winifred
Slocombe were among them.

Third place was gained by John Lewis Childs,
Flowerfleld, who showed some fine blooms of Mrs.
Cooper, Cambria, Patrick O'Mara, etc.

The 12 bloom classes required considerable sorting
out ; in most there were four or more entries.

Louis C. Ailing, West Haven, Conn., beat Wm. An-
derson, Millbrook, N. J., with 12 Hybrid Show. Gen-
eral Miles, Estelle Christy and Helen Hollis were
good. The New Jersey exhibitor had a wonderful
flower of General Miles, and W. W. Rawson, too, was
good. Louis C. Ailing also scored with 12 Show,
W. F. Brown, Norwich, Conn., taking second place.

With 12 Decoratives, J. H. Wiegand was strong;
wonderful flowers of Dr. Tevis, Susan Coe, a monster
this; and Mrs. E. P. Judd, rose pink, were prominent.
Wm. Anderson took second place. Louis C. Ailing was
again in the lead with 12 Cactus ; his Pierrot, Sussex
and Dorothy Hawes were good. W. F. Brown was
second. Exhibits in this class were in several places.
Wm. Anderson, scored with 12 Hybrid Cactus,
but we lost track of the rest, if there were any.
John H. Troy, New Rochelle, N. Y., scored second,
with 12 Peony Flowered, but names were lacking;
Louis C. Ailing took first with grand blooms of.Bilt-
more, Hope Mildred Burton and others.

Sarah M. Wakeman climbed above Alt F. Clark,
Netcong, N. J., with 12 Singles. Fine blooms, but
12 in a vase make no show, especially when pushed
among the big mops.

The winners with 12 Collerettes we could not lo-
cate, but with nine vases of Pompon we found J. H.
Wiegand a leader. Several other collections were
adjacent, but the judge's penciling appeared to he
invisible. Pnt it down to poor light, failing eyesight
or the crush in the 3ft. gangway.

Class 12 called for a general display of 50 sq. ft.
J. L. Childs came along with some nicely set-up vases
and baskets. Apparently bench space was not avail-
able, so the collection was dumped on the floor be-
tween the tables. We noted Sunkiss, Kalif and Edith
Carter, a pretty yellow and red Cactus, but we
couldn't get a close look into things. We found no
other entry in this class.

Class 13 was for a general display of 100 sq. ft.
Seemingly this embraced some of the trade exhibits

for some who were paying for space had the card
on their exhibits. Who won the gold medal we do not
know; the exhibitors did not know themselves prior
to the meeting on Wednesday. W. A. Burpee & Co.,
Philadelphia had in this class, a great exhibit, and
one of the most attractive in the show. It contained
lots of beautiful Cactus, including Pierrot, Geo. Scho-
field, E. F. Hawes, etc. Peonies, too, notably a new
seedling named Fordhook Rose, a real beauty. Not a
case of one bloom of this, that' and the other, but:
dozens staged on pillars and in masses. Louis C.
Alling's exhibit was also in this class, and probably
many others, but we must let it stand over.

The Private Classes

This dispenses with the commercial classes. In
the private gardener classes we specially noted that
Miss Myra Valentine, New Canaan, scored with 50
varieties, while F. Frelinghuysen, already referred to,
scored with 25 blooms. Truly great was this collec-
tion. Judge A. I. Elkins and C. Bahnsen, Passaic,)
N. J., took second and third places.

With 12 Hybrid Cactus, W. J. Mattheson, Hunting-
ton, N. Y., had to stand down to F. Frelinghuysen,
who as before, had perfect flowers in every instance.
This latter grower also led with 12 Decoratives, a
marvellous dozen.

The Open Classes

In the Open to All classes, long stems, N. H. Cottam
& Son, Wappinger Falls, N. Y., took second with 12
white, seemingly not named. First went to Stewart
& Fisher, who set up a great vase of Snowdrift.
L. H. Axel, White Plains, led with Kapiolini, a deeper
red than Illuminator, shown by R. Greinberg, Wayne,
Pa. This latter was .a brilliant scarlet. The same
exhibitors held the same positions with 12 yellow.
L. H. Axel had a great vase of Yellow Prince, whil»
the other bore the name of Marie Louise, a splendid
Decorative. R. Greinberg scored first with 12 pink,
showing a superb Cactus named Esther Holmes.
Stems like ram rods. Second to W. L. W. Darnell.

With 12 Variegated, J. L. Childs and W. F. Brown
held the positions as given. With 12 any other color,
the leading award appeared to be non est, but we
found a great vase of White Colosse, shown by
S. M. Wakeman, carrying second prize. The same
lady led with the largest Decorative, a 7in. bloom of
Millionaire. Of others there were plenty, but it's
needless to talk of them. The largest Show went to
Alt C. Clark, name unknown.

With 25 Cactus short stems, A. E. Doty led with a
neat lot of blooms, while L. H. Axel, led with 25
blooms of Hybrid Cactus on long stems. Aquitania
was great here. J. L. Childs came second with Sun-
kiss. S. M. Wakeman and Mills & Co., Mamaroneck,
N. Y., shared the honors with 25 Singles or Duplex
on long stems.

With 12 seedlings 1922, W. H. Waite, Rumson,
N. J., fairly put it over. A glorious pink Decorative
was one of the features, but the entire vase was a
cracker jack. The rest, where were they?

S. M. Wakeman scored with a vase of long stemmed
Cactus, showing Attraction. J. H. Wiegand was third
with the same variety. The second prize vase seemed
to have vanished. R. Greinberg, with a vase of Deco-
ratives, led the way; Pride of Wayne, a big red, is a
variety to conjure with. G. H. Axel, and J. H. Troy,
followed in that order. With a vase of Hybrid Show.
J. H. Wiegand was the leader, showing Helen Hollis.

We found J. L. Childs marked for third in the
Peony vase class ; the others we know not of.

S. M. Wakeman was first with a vase of Duplex,
the variety being Geant de Lyon; the same exhibitor
won with 12 blooms long stems any or all types, and
also with the variety Glorieux, a new California va-
riety.

For the rest we can say nothing at this time. The
show was too big, the good features so numerous, to
permit a closeup view in the brief time at our dis-
posal.

The Annual Dinner

This was originally fixed for 5 p.m., but as the
judges had still much to do it was delayed somewhat.
As a matter of fact, it was more than two hours
later when the party of judges and officials sat down.
The judges had not then completed their task, but
the inner man could no longer be denied.

About 30 were present and during the meal, Mrs.
Jost and Mrs. Martin rendered several songs.

Formal speechmaking was taboo, but Secretary
Rathgeber did take the opportunity to say a few
words, a few witticisms about each one present. These
remarks and the singing made up for the shortcom-
ings of the meal; the Pennsylvania Hotel is not the
venue where elegant dinners are to be had at $3.
However, it appeased the hunger of men who had
been working and, yes, worrying to get the show
through, everyone, therefore, was content.

Gladiolus Novelties

Mostly all of our own raising, including our new Gladiolus Maiden's Blush, of which
"The Florists Review" writes as follows:

"Gladiolus Maiden's Blush originates with J. J. Grullemans & Sons of Lisse, Holland,
being one of a number of Primulinus hybrids of pronounced early flowering habit; among these
is Maiden's Blush. The color of this beautiful variety is of a most attractive shade of light
pink, and some good judges think Maiden's Blush will become one of the most widely grown
and popular varieties when it is well known.

"It is said that this variety will force in the greenhouse in seven weeks."

In a former number of "The Florists Review" said: "Maiden's Blush has taken better
on the Chicago market than any other Gladiolus ever did."

Pertinent Points Relating to
Fuel Oil for Florists

By Gustave Thommen, with extracts from
"Building and Building Management," Sept. 4,
by permission, Wm. G. Tarnahan, vice-presi-
dent of Petroleum Seat and Power Co.

Without doubt thousands of our readers can re-
member the time when' the first automobile in their
particular neck of the woods made its first appear-
ance. Generally it was a racing machine, painted
scarlet, and therefore dubbed "the red devil." What
did we think of it then? Why, it was a plaything for
rich young bloods who took the greatest pleasure in
'■ killing our hens and making peaceful dobbins climb
'■■ the nearest fence. How long ago is it since that hap-
i pened? Not more than twenty and, look now! No
I avenue, no country road or byway but what is crowded
| with all sorts of cars driven by gasoline. Not only
automobiles for getting from one place to another
S but freight trucks that last year hauled as much
freight as all the railroads combined. And all this
i since the boys were born, who now go to college.
The average reader of a florist's paper may say:
That's all right, everybody knows these facts, but
what has this got to do with the florist business? Let
me say right here that it has a lot to do with it.
The adoption of the automobile and of the internal
combustion engine has brought on the development
of the gasoline industry and at the same time is re-
sponsible for the wholesale production of fuel oil as
a byproduct, and this fuel oil is the article the florist
is going to be greatly interested in before he knows
it. °Oh ! you mean the florist is going to burn oil in-
stead of' coal? Yes! that's just it, and it will come
about for several serious reasons. It is sure to come
about and to be adopted the same way as was the
automobile because fuel oil is as much better and
cheaper in every way than coal as the tin Lizzie is
better and cheaper than the old-fashioned hayburner
on four legs.

There is no need to enlarge upon the coal situation :
we all have enjoyed (?) seeing the price of coal go
up every year, with never a sign that it will ever
i come down again. We all know that strikes by min-
! ers or railway employees may tie up the coal produc-
tion and delivery at any old time, without our having
| the least bit of "say."

The force of circumstances is at work now to take
King Coal by the ear and tell him where he gets off.
A mighty force it is and a much mightier one it is
bound to become in the near future. Fuel oil is going
to be the means to heat the greenhouse boilers. Not
only because it is cheaper, more efficient, more con-
venient and more safe and sure than coal, but be-
cause fuel oil is now such an important byproduct
of the gasoline business that it must cither be turned
under boilers or must be thrown away. And you can
bet your bottom dollar that the big oil corporations
are not going to throw away one drop, not if they can
help it. That is one reason why fuel oil can never
cost as much as coal, simply because it is now its
well recognized and better situated competitor. The
writer dares to predict that within the nest 20 years
not one florist (who is so situated that he can burn
oil) will ever use coal again, no more than he would
go and hitch up the old mare to bring his flowers to
market.

The Plokists Exchange has, during the last two
or three years, consistently advocated that florists
look into this oil proposition. It has printed many
pages of valuable information and it is proud to know
that a number of wideawake florists have taken ad-
vantage of this help and are now enjoying the benefits
of heating with oil.

Unfortunately, there is much crass ignorance and
misunderstanding regarding the oil situation in gen-
eral and the installing and handling of apparatus for
burning the oil under the greenhouse boiler. Let us
make the positive statement, right here, that no flo-
rist who has installed an oil burning apparatus will
ever think of going back to coal and that, as this
knowledge spreads, the use of oil will become as gen-
eral as the use of the automobile. Let us also make
the statement also that while a florist is situated out-
side the delivery radius of fuel oil he cannot partici-
pate in the benefits of this new heating material.

The Cost of Oil

Whenever fuel oil is mentioned to a florist his first
remark is apt to be yes ! I agree that oil is better in
many or all ways than coal but, as soon as everybody
is burning it, the supply will be hoarded and the
price will go higher than coal." A moment's thought
will show that this is impossible. For why? Fuel oil,
as already mentioned, is a byproduct in the manufac-
ture of gasoline and other commodities, the demand
for which is daily increasing at a tremendous rate.

Gasoline must be made and therefore fuel oil neces-
sarily must accumulate and an outlet for it must be
found. The annual production of fuel oil is already
enormous. If one year's output could be stored,
which is a practical impossibility, next year's out-
put would flow in, demanding similar storage. The
annual supply is like a continually rising river which
cannot be dammed. It must be marketed and at a
price to compete with coal.

As to Coal

In certain localities coal may be temporarily
cheaper than fuel oil but this condition cannot be-
come general by reason of the large quantities of
fuel oil that must continue to be thrown on the
market. Those who are today burning fuel oil do so
because it saves them money ; if it did not they would
burn coal. The fact is that fuel oil is a direct com-
petitor of coal and it cannot be beaten in competition.

In other words, producers of fuel oil are in a posi-
tion, because of lower costs of production, to under-
sell the producer of coal all along the line. Let me
illustrate : Cerro Azul No. 4 is a well capable of
producing 260,000 barrels of oil every 24 hours, or the
equivalent of 75,000 tons of coal. Now, to mine 75,000
tons of coal calls for an army of miners, 15,000 to
20,000 strong, each man producing an average of from
four to five tons a day. In the case of the oil well,
Nature does most of the work. Mother earth forces
the oil under enormous pressure out of the depths
into storage tanks, and only a handful of men are
required to manipulate the valves in the pipes that
carry the oil. Moreover, oil has the advantage over
coal in the matter of transportation. Coal is moved
by ship or rail at considerable cost. Oil flows hun-
dreds of miles through pipes at a much less cost.
Even where it is transported in tankers, loading and
unloading is done by huge pumps with far less man-
ual labor than is called for by the unloading of coal.
Time plays a large part in this also. In a few hours
a tank steamer can be unloaded and be on the
way for a new cargo.

The whole process of handling oil is easier than
that of handling coal and therefore much cheaper.
It is not hard to figure the advantages the oil man
has over the coal man who has to handle the coal
from the time it is shot down into drifts under-
ground, picked up in clamshell buckets, loaded into
cars or into "barges, lifted out of the barges or cars
into coal yards, out of coal yards into trucks, out of
trucks on to sidewalks and into coal buckets, out of
these into wheelbarrows, and over and over again,
and finally into the fire boxes. Still, we are not
through with it; the ashes must be scraped and dug
out of the ash pits, shoveled into ash cans or wheel-
barrows, hoisted up and dumped into trucks and fi-
nally carted away to the dumps, all by manual labor,
and besides all this there is the firing of the boiler,
the stocking of it, and the consequent labor and loss
of heat. In other words the oil man has the coal
man beaten before he leaves the starting line when
it comes to a competition and disposition of his prod-
ucts. It is fair to expect that there will always be
a fair margin in the difference between the prices of
coal and fuel oil — and that in favor of oil.

What about the permanency of the fuel oil supply?

To answer this question we must go back to the
potential supply of oil throughout not only the
United States and Mexico, but the world. The map
of the world is thickly dotted with petroleum loca-
tions in its every part except Australia. It is inter-
esting to know that a field has been discovered 700
miles north of Fairbanks, Alaska, another in the
northern part of Canada, right up in the Arctic cir-
cle. From Alaska in the North there is a continuous
string of oil wells to the Southwest tip of the South
American continent. From this point again we can
pass into Alberta and Saskatchewan, then into the
Rocky Mountain field, Montana, Wyoming, Utah,
Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Tampico, Mexico,
Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bo-
livia, Argentina and the tip end of South America in
Chile and the Argentines. Many other fields are
found in the United States, such as the vast Cali-
fornia field, the Texas field, Louisiana field, Appalach-
ian field, also fields in Indiana and Illinois, and on
up into Ontario and New Brunswick. Leaving the
Western hemisphere and moving over into the Old
World, you will notice that in Europe and Asia
Minor the wells are thickly located. Starting with
I-Iardsford, England, oil is found in Alsace-Lorraine,
the line between Italy and France, Galicia, Russia,
Maikop, Roumania, Armenia, Mesopotamia, Persia,
Palestine, Algeria, Egypt, as well as in the extreme
north of Russia, and in Madagascar off the south
coast of Africa. Farther east is Turkestan, China,
East India, Siberia, Sakhalin, Japan, Formosa, Dutch
East Indies, Philippines, New Guinea ; in New Zea-
land there are great oil possibilities.

At this point it is interesting to know that in 1921
approximately 750,000.000 barrels of oil were pro-
duced in the world. The United States produced 475,-

000,000 barrels, Mexico, 200,000.000 barrels, or a total
for these two countries of 075,000,000 barrels, leaving,
a balance of 75,000,000 barrels for the rest of the
world. Xet in Russia alone and that in a compara-
tively small area there is more oil than in the entire
United States. The same is claimed for the oil fields
of South America.

Many, if not all florists, fear that if they install oil
burning equipment the oil supply will run out or be
so reduced that the price of oil will soon become pro-
hibitive. This impression is sometimes had from mar-
ket reports, but it is quite wrong. We have hardly
begun to tap the vast oil resources of the world.
What is now being used is only an infinitesimal per-
centage of the immense quantities that will yet be
brought to the surface.

Fuel oil, in the sense in which we speak of it, is the
residue left after the crude oil, as it conies out of the
earth, has been refined, that is. after gasoline and
other products have been drawn off.

Now, consider the constantly increasing demand
for gasoline alone. Years ago, only from 3 to 4 per
cent of gasoline could be taken from crude oil, but
now probably an average of 25 per cent of gasoline
can be obtained. Using the most efficient processes,
however, to obtain high priced products from crude
oil, there remains a residue of at least 50 per cent,
which is now being used as fuel oil. The increasing
demand for gasoline, which keeps step with the de-
velopment of the automobile and internal combustion
engine, will cause a corresponding increase in the
residue from which the gasoline has been taken,
namely: our fuel oil. Now, a market must be found
for this oil, and that market can best be obtained by
burning fuel oil under the boilers instead of burning
coal.

To give readers an idea of the magnitude of the oil
industry of today, note that of the 475,000,000 barrels
of crude oil produced in the United State during
1921 : 122,703,555 barrels went into gasoline ; 4S,693,-
479 barrels went into kerosene: 20,901,406 barrels
went into lubricating oil ; 166,043 tons went into wax ;
604,465 tons went into coke; 1,214,536 tons went into
asphalt; 2S,629,361 barrels went into miscellaneous
balance of 19,557,517 barrels accounted for simply as
refinery losses.

(To be continued)

BEFORE touching on routine business matters, a
few words concerning the fuel question as it
affects our local growers may interest Exchange
readers. During the past week I have visited vari-
ous growing establishments, and in none of them
have I found any pessimism concerning fuel condi-
tions for the coming Winter.

Situation Bright Here

In this section of the Pacific Coast such conditions
are on a different footing from that prevailing in the
East, Middle West, and even in California. Most of
the establishments here already have their Winter's
supply in the bins; a few have only a portion of it,
while a few more are burning oil. It might be news
to Eastern readers to know that some growers here-
use wood entirely, others wood and coal in combina-
tion. There is no local shortage in either of these
materials. Several of our growers are located in-
various suburban districts some miles from the city,
and in the vicinity of sawmills, where what is
known as slab wood is available in quantity at reason-
able prices. This is used in conjunction with a small
quautity of coal for day firing, coal being used en-
tirely for night work. Quite satisfactory results
are thus obtained. In this connection it must be
borne in mind that we rarely get severe weather here
during the Winter. Dampness demands heat for
drying out purposes, to a much greater degree thai*
do frost and cold. This method of firing is used in
both hot water and steam plants.

As to coal it must be remembered that the coal
strike did not affect many of the mines in the State
of Washington coal fields, so the price of the goodly
supply of coal from these local sources has been prac-
tically normal.

Oil Burning Experiences

Several of our largest plants are using oil fuel.
One plant used it prior to the war, but returned to-
coal during the war period when oil prices reached
giddy heights. I understand it has gone back to oil,
since prices have become somewhat normal.

The Washelli Floral Co. with 35,000 sq. ft. of glass
installed an oil burning apparatus called "The Ray
Burner," manufactured by a San Francisco compauy
last February to heat its Scotch marine boilers. They

The bulb season is with tis once more,
and it is up to every one of us to make
the most of this short but snappy season
in the seed store. Preceding the Christ-
mas rush and following a few months of
comparative quiet in the store it forms
a pleasant break and tones one up for the
more strenuous times ahead.

While most seed houses depend largely
on the Fall catalog for the bulk of their
business, the retail store is the place
where a great deal of good business can
be done, and is being done. The public is
always on the lookout for something
bright and attractive in the way of flow-
ers for indoor decoration during the Win-
ter months and nothing lends itself more
to filling that want than the well known
Paperwhite Narcissus. To the retailer
this is a big source of income, not alone
in the sale of bulbs, but in the various
articles that go hand in hand with it, i. e.,
bowls, fancy dishes, fiber, gravel, stones,
etc.

Merely having bulbs, etc., does not
always sell them, but planting them in
different ways and displaying them promi-
nently does wonders. We endeavor to
keep them growing throughout the entire
season, and generally select a medium
priced bowl to put them in. Three, five,
seven or twelve bulbs in a bowl with
gravel are the best sellers we have.

Another good line is the Chinese Sacred
Lily, grown in the same way; also the
Autumn blooming Crocus. The best re-
sults are obtained when the bulbs of the
Autumn Crocus are planted in fiber. They
make a pretty dish with their pink and
lavender blossoms. As they do not pro-
duce any leaves at this season, sprinkle
a little Timothy seed in the fiber — the
grass gives the proper effect when about
2in. high.

Not all bulbs grow in fiber, but the
salespeople should know what to suggest
for that purpose when called upon.

The following bulbs do remarkably well
in fiber: French and Dutch Roman Hya-
cinths, prepared Hyacinths for forcing,
Paperwhite Soleil d'Or, and Double Ro-
man Narcissus; Golden Spur, Emperor,
Empress, King Alfred, Barri conspicuus
Victoria, Madame de Graaf, Von Sion,
Poeticus Ornatus and the Poetaz Nar-
cissus; Crocus; Due van Thol, Murillo,
Schoonord and Tournesol Tulips; also
quite a few Darwin Tulips, especially
Clara Butt. The list is not complete, but
will give an idea of the wide range to
choose from.

Lilium eandidum should be planted now
so as to make a strong growth, essential
to its needs. Purity and the colored
Freesias should be a good selling line to
the florists.

The store should be kept busy from now
on. _ As the demand for perennial seeds
diminishes, we begin with the growers of
Radish Crimson Globe for forcing in the
greenhouse and Grand Rapids Lettuce,
also Spinach Bloomsdale and Victoria.
Potted Strawberries, Senator Dunlap,
Aroma, Big Joe and Progressive Ever-
bearing are selling well at the present
time. Fall is the best time for seeding
the lawn and with the beginning of the
rains the rush commences. Keep a plen-
tiful supply of seed in. sight and push the
sales of fertilizer, especially sheep, cat-
tle, bonemeal and limestone. These are
all adjuncts of the lawn and Bhould be
displayed in proximity to the grass seed
counters.

The tool rack should be filled with
seasonable articles, such as lawn rakes,
wooden rakes, scythes, pruning shears,
dibbers, trowels, forks, bulb planting tools,
and so on.

Don't overlook the nursery department.
This is the proper time of the year to
plant Peonies and a stock of the good
varieties should be displayed in the store.
Set aside a space for Iris; this beautiful
flower is coining into its own again and
the demand for clumps will be heavy.
The hardy perennials and biennials, like
Achillea, Phlox, Sweet William, Gaillar-
dia, Foxglove, Hollyhocks, Veronica, etc.
should be planted this Fall and it will
pay to have them wrapped in moss and
displayed in the store.

Plant a few evergreens in tubs — Arbor-
vitae, Juniper Virginiana, Norway Spruce,
Mugho Pine, and book orders for them as
well as beautify the front of the store.
Bring in a. few small sized Red Cedars
suitable for window boxes, plant them
and watch the results. Winter window
boxes are the real thing and, when the
Summer plants have faded, thoughts are
turned to what can be done to keep up
the display. You will find a ready sale
in Red Cedars. Keep the shelves well
filled with insecticides. The demand for
Winter washes and sprays is growing
bigger each year; people are finding that
the continued use of insecticides is bene-
ficial and are repaid many times over for
the little trouble in spraying. Watch
your Poultry Department also. There is
to be obtained a good revenue from the
sale of feed and mash hoppers, water
fountains, trap nests, tonics and reme-
dies. As the show season advances the
poultrymen are on the lookout for ship-
ping coops, exhibition coops, leg bands,
judging sticks, etc. If you don't run a
poultry dept., consider putting one in.

Your window must be attractive and
various ways can be found to make it ap-
pealing to the passersby Diversity is the
keynute in the seed business as in any
other and it pays to change the display
frequently.

Bulb Arrivals Before New TarrifT

No exact information is as yet avail-
able as to what per cent of the total crop
of Dutch bulbs exported to this country
arrived before the new tariff law went
into effect Thursday midnight. Accord-
ing to estimates obtained from several
large importers from 70 to 80 per cent
reached here before the new tariff be-
came effective. If the regular line steam-
ships could have advanced their sailing
dates, the per cent arriving in time to
escape the higher duties would have been
even higher. The steamships, Edge Hill,
which arrived Sept. 18, and the Pipe
Stone County, which arrived the nine-
teenth, brought the last bulbs before the
new tariff law passed. Shipments of
Dutch bulbs direct to the Pacific Coast
were mostly carried by the S. S. Dintel-
dyk, a refrigerator steamer. This steam-
ship left Holland Aug. 28, but had not ar-
rived on the Pacific Coast up to Sept. 25.
Consequently, a higher tariff will have to
be paid on the bulbs which she brings.
The S. S. Rotterdam, too, which arrived
on Sept. 24, had on board about 4000
cases of Dutch bulbs, which will be sub-
ject to the higher tariff, as will also about
200 eases of French bulbs, which arrived
on the S. S. Roma on Sept. 23.

C. J. Speelman & Sons, 470 Greenwich
st., report that they received 90 per cent
or more of their Dutch bulbs and all their
French bulbs before the new tariff law
became effective. This firm is busy ship-
ping out Dutch bulbs' direct from the
dock. They have just mailed out their
Fall list of bulbs. The report comes to
them from Holland that the Dutch bulbs
cleaned up very well, and that high prices
were maintained.

St., reports that it has got all its Dutch

bulbs off the piers and is filling orders
which have already been booked. More
bulb orders, both wholesale and retail, are
coming in daily by mail from the firm's
travelers. Vaughan's has just received a ■
first shipment of Chinese Lilies which
are being immediately sent out. The store
display of Dahlia blooms, which has been
kept up almost continuously since Sept. 15,
is attracting much attention from passers-
by, especially at the noon hour. This
store will make a general exhibition of
bulbs and cut Dahlia blooms at the show
of the American Dahlia Society this week.
It is congratulating itself that 400 cases
of French bulbs arrived on the S. S.
Providence last week before the new tariff
was effective.

Timely Window Display

The daily window show of Dahlias and
other outdoor grown flowers, mostly an-
nuals, in the great store of Peter Hen-
derson & Co., 35-37 Cortlandt st., con-
tinues to attract passersby and keeps a
group in front of the window all day. Since
each vase of flowers is legibly labeled, the
display, as customary with all Henderson's
exhibitions, is highly educational. In ob-
serving the display on Monday of this
week we noted particularly a vase of fine
blooms of early flowering Crested Cosmos.
In a second Henderson window there is
this week an unusually complete display
of bulbs. Their beauty and effect, when
in bloomy are shown clearly by landscape
and home scene pictures in water colors
on a screen, which is so placed behind
the bulb display that each picture forms
a background for the bulbs displayed in
the foreground. The name of the bulbs
and some remarks on its proper use ap-
pears above each picture. The effect as
a whole is fine, and needs to be seen to
be appreciated.

Chicago Seed Trade

Jas. Martin, manager of the retail de-
partment of Vaughan's Seed Store, states
that the cool weather has started the
counter trade off nicely. Peonies are
selling well. Pot grown Strawberry plants,
some of the samples bearing fruit, are on
display at the store and are meeting with
a ready sale. A handsome assortment of
bowls of various colors and formation is
being offered for the growing of Paper-
white and Chinese Narcissi in pebbles and
water.

Hardware houses have, as a rule, been
handling more or less farm and garden
seed as a side line with much success for
several years. This season many of them
are going into the Holland bulb business
and are becoming strong purchasers from
the large importers and dealers.

Florists who do a seed business in con-
nection with their regular trade, would do
well to look into the supply of lawn grass
seed for another season. There is an in-
timation concerning pools of both Blue
Grass and Red Top which are the pri-
mary basis of lawn grass mixtures, that
dealers would do well to investigate.

The American Bulb Co. is mailing an
eight page catalog of Holland bulbs, per-
ennials and Sweet Pea seed. It is high-
ly illustrated and attractive.

The A. Henderson & Co. store is high-
ly attractive. A line of palms and dec-
orative plants interspersed with the bulbs
gives it a touch of Summer time. There
is a good demand for everything in both
French and Holland bulbs.

C. D. Coventry of the W. W. Barnard
Co. is preparing for a trip to Idaho and
probably to California on a tour of in-
spection of the seed crops.

Carl Cropp of Vaughan's Seed Store
has returned from a trip to California
and other points along the Pacific Coast.

Peter Hollenbach and wife, who have
been spending the greater part of the
Summer in Germany returned to Chicago
the past week.

J. P. Croom of Magnolia, N. C, whole-
sale grower of Cannas, Caladiums and
Tuberoses for the trade was in Chicago
the past week. He reports a favorable
season for the production of these crops.

Philadelphia Seed Trade

David Burpee attended the exhibition
of the American Dahlia Society, New
York City, this past week.

The Robert Buist Co. reports good busi-
ness in Dutch and French bulbs. It is
practically sold out on imported stock
and had to buy some extras.

The Henry F. Michell Co. got caught
with 110 cases on the new tariff schedule.
Manager Paul Richter reported a fine
demand for Paperwhites — better than ex-
pected. Dutch bulbs, he thought, would
clean' up in fine style. Lilies, particu-
larly candidum and Harrisii, are meeting
a nice call.

The Moore Seed Co. has experienced
heavy sales of Spinach, Kale and Lettuce,
as well as poultry supplies. With this
firm, as with all others interviewed, the
sale of bulbs has exceeded expectations.

Sept. 30 is the end of the fiscal year
at I. N. Simon & Co. and the staff was
busy last week taking inventory. This
firm reports that the season has brought
a short yield of Beans — running from 40
to 70 per cent. Varieties included are
Black Valentine, Bountiful and Giant
Stringless. Full Measure was almost a
total failure. American grown Spinach
seed has been delivered and finally reck-
ons only about a 60 per cent yield.

Boston Seedsman Well Again

It is gratifying to find John Fottler, Jr. ,
president of the Fottler, Fiske, Rawson Co.,
12 and 13 Faneuil Hall sq., again at his desk.
"Exchange" readers, including many of Ms
acquaintances and friends, will recall that
last October he suffered a fractured hip while
crossing a street undergoing repairs. The
injury required skill on the part of the surgeon
and patience on the part of the sufferer, yet
in spite of Mr. Fottler's 80 odd years he has
recovered to a remarkable degree. Recently,
for the first time in 11 months, he was able
to completely dress himself, even to lacing
his shoes.

It is remarkable that Mr. Fottler can, on
crutches, make his way from his Dorchester
home via the street cars, but he exhibits a
vigor that many a younger person might
envy.

Having just returned from his Summer
home at Harwichport, Mass., Mr. Fottler
possesses the ruddy skin overlaid with tan
that one is accustomed to find him with each
Fall and scant signs are left of the painful
injury and its tedious after effects.

Priority of Seeds in Transportaton

As a result of the efforts of the officers
of the Seed Trade Associations, the In-
terstate Commerce Commission on Sept.
19, issued an order directing all rail-
roads east of the Mississippi River, in-
cluding the west bank crossings thereof
to give preferential shipment over all
other commodities of several important
commodities, including fertilizers and
seeds. This priority order became ef-
fective at midnight on Sept. 20.

Waco, Tex.— The Nicholson Seed Co.
of Dallas, Tex., has opened a branch store
at 419 Franklin ave., this city. The com-

Eany has been in business for 35 years,
eonard Simpson, now in charge of the
Dallas store, will manage the new branch.

Offsetting the Tariff

In an eleventh hour attempt to ease
the birth pangs of the new tariff, the
Congressional conference committee re-
placed potash on the free list. This was
good news for florists, growers and other
users of fertilizer.

But on the heels of that action came
the decision on the part of German in-
terests to raise the price of that coun-
try's potash about three per cent "to
meet rising costs of coal and labor," it
was said. The German output for 1922
has been estimated at 1,250,000 metric
tons (as compared with 921,000 last year)
of which 400,000 are available for ex-
port. The Alsatian mines ( formerly
German) are expected to yield 120,000
tons, of which about half will be ex-
ported. Whether domestic production is
sufficient to neutralize the foreign price
advance is not stated in connection with
the above reports.

Cincinnati Seed Trade

Advance orders for bulbs indicate that
dealers in imports and domestic bulbs
will run short of their supply in a few
weeks. According to one of the leading
bulb dealers, advance orders have never
been so heavy, the major portion coming
from the small town trade. Such im-
ported stock as Holland Hyacinths, Tu-
lips and white Narcissi, and French bulbs,
such as Paperwhite Narcissi, Lilium can-
didum and others have just been received,
but the demand from mail orders sur-
passes that of other years.

Big Bulb Demand from Small Towns

As one dealer said: "We have never
had such a run of small town orders as
this season and the bulk of the business
is new trade from the small nearby
towns. It looks like our stocks will dis-
appear in short order. The installation
of furnaces in ■ homes in the smaller
towns is probably responsible for this
trade and the development of an ambition
on the part of housewives to have their
homes like those af friends in Cincin-
nati and other large cities. More bulbs
will be planted this year by many thou-
sands more than ever before and the busi-
ness is on the increase. Cincinnati always
has been a good bulb town, but this
small town trade is the growth of the
post war conditions."

The seed trade in the Cincinnati dis-
trict is quiet and is not expected to
amount to much this season. Ohio and
Kentucky farmers saved a large part of
their Timothy seed, which is one of the
largest factors in the seed business in thia
territory. For this reason they will not
be in the market for Timothy seed until
1924, except in isolated cases.

R. S. McCullough, president of the J.
C. McCullough Seed Co., one of the old-
est seed and bulb houses of the Midwest,
left last week for New York and the
eastern cities on his honeymoon. He was
married to Miss Mildred Rogers of Avon-
dale, daughter of E. B. Rogers, a wealthy
oil producer. The wedding was one of
the social events of the Fall calendar.

American Forestry Co., Boston, Mass. — In
these days, catalog compilation is an art in itself,
and we think it may truly be said that the pro-
prietors of the Little Tree Farms have reached a
standard far above the average as it relates to
nursery lines. This 64-page book 12in.x9in., with
attractively colored covers and center plate, does
not convey the impression that it is a catalog.
Its title is Little Tree Farms Year Book and, for
the home planter, it certainly provides information
and illustrations well calculated to stimulate in-
terest. The book is divided in two parts, No. 1
serving as a planting guide; No. 2 being a descrip-
tive list of stock. No one receiving this elegant
book can refrain from agreeing that its purpose is
service as well as sales. The multitude of illus-
trations, all half tone on high class paper, show how
the house surroundings may be beautified while
the open garden or estate is likewise well handled.
Subjects for screens, hedges, groups, driveways,
etc., are all dealt with, and, to aid the planter, the
various evergreen or shrub groups for certain
situations are both pictured and offered as collec-
tions, with data as to size and times transplanted.
It may truly be said that the home planter can,
with this year book, do much of his own landscaping
without professional aid; certainly when his lot
is of modest dimensions. The descriptive list of
stock is most exhaustive and a real fund of in-
formation.

W. J. Unwin, Histon, Cambs, England.—
Autumn list of Sweet Peas, Roses and bulbs.
Sweet Peas are a specialty of this firm and two
important novelties for 1923 are May Cowdy,
brilliant field Poppy color, and Mrs. H. Richards
salmon rose on white ground. Only the standard
varieties of merit are listed; in fact, the list is sur-
prisingly short, which may be taken as a proof that
the extensive trials this firm conducts, satisfy
them as to how many varieties are necessary to
meet the conditions in England. One has a feel-
ing of regret when one notes among bulbs, Scillas,
Snowdrops, Chionodoxa, etc, at 25 cents or less
a dozen. English grown Roses have apparently
got back to something like pre-war rates; retail
prices for the best varieties ranging around S5 a
dozen.

Vaughan's Seed Store, Chicago and New York.
Features Tulips and Iris in color on the covers,
and is a veritable vade mecuvi on bulbous plants
for the garden. Gives lots of cultural notes and
lists and illustrates many varieties and their uses.
Late Tulips are given pride of place and most of
the popular sorts are included. Daffodils follow
and the varieties are grouped in their respective
sections. We are interested to note that Home-
spun is offered and illustrated, surely one of the
most perfect Incomps. ever raised. As a show
flower it is a gem and those who love Daffodils
will surely grow this now it is offered at S2 a doz.
Polyanthus Narcissi are specially featured. Hya-
cinths, Amaryllis, Crocus, Freesias, and Lilies in
many varieties, are among the other lines offered,
while following on, come seeds for Fall sowing,
decorative plants, hardy perennials, particularly
Iris, Phlox and Peonies, and ornamental shrubs,
trees and small fruits. Several page:- are given to
sundries also.

C. Keur & Son, 5625 Mosholu ave., N. Y.—

After nearly fifty years of

' going through the mill/

Fritz Bahr writes a book

Fritz Bahr's
Commercial
Floriculture

A Practical Manual for the Retail Grower

The author needs no introduction here. His "Week's
Work," which has been appearing every Saturday in the
columns of The Florists Exchange, that well known
National Trade Paper, has long placed him in the front
ranks of practical men who write in a practical way. More than
one fellow florist has called him a genius — which he
certainly is, if for no other reason than that he is a philos-
opher who can make his philosophy clear and practical for
others; whose philosophy is based not on what he thinks,
merely, but on what he knows as a result of nearly half a century's successful experience.

Readers of THE EXCHANGE familiar with Mr. Bahr's thorough grasp of the everyday problems and
possibilities ahead of the Grower, combined with his extensive cultural knowledge, and his mastery of expressing
practice in words so readily understood, will quickly conjure up the wealth of informative material presented.
The book is divided into two parts :

FRITZ BAHR

Highland Park, III.

"D^ „.!_ is devoted to a general review of the

A d.1 L 1 florist business, its opportunities and its
responsibilities. Extensive chapters are devoted to
subjects such as the following:

The Retail Grower and His Business — Indoors
and Outdoors all the Year Around — The Retail
Grower and His Equipment — Practical Opera-
tions in the Growing End of the Business —
Side Line Possibilities for the Retail Grower —
Important Flower Days of the Year — All Kinds
of Plant Materials for the Retail Grower.

Part II

embraces some 300 pages of informa-
tion which is truly cyclopedic.
Here all the types of plant, shrub, tree and vine that
the reader is likely to handle, whether he grows them
all or not, are brought to the reader's attention. Wheth-
er it is best to try to grow them; and if so, how; what
they are best suited for; how to make the most of
them; which vareities to use and which to avoid — these
and all other things that every man ought to know,
but that comparatively so few of us do know, are dis-
cussed by Fritz Bahr in his inimitable, unmistakable,
convincing, encouraging style.

The size of the book is 6}4 x 9}4 in. It is printed in clear, readable type, and more than passing notice should be
given to the illustrations, of which there are nearly 300, the majority of them made from photographs specially selected,
and many of them specially taken for this book. They picture every phase of all sides of the business and the great
majority of its materials in the way they ought to be grown. This remarkable feature includes a helpful, illuminating
typical Fritz Bahr caption for every illustration. The binding t,a^kci ±-,j j.^„ <i>_~~

The Florists Exchange

New Orleans, La.

The Market

Sept. 23.— The people of New Or-
leans are gradually leaving their favorite
fishing spots, beach hotels or mountain
lodges and slowly wending their way
homeward. Some go in a Pullman drawn
by a lumbering freight engine which
lands them in town at three o'clock in
the morning when they expected to get
there five hours before ; some ride be-
hind a steering wheel which seems to
have some connection with four tires that
persist in being fiat ; while a few even
come in on two pieces of sole leather,
which judging from the little sharp
stones which seep through, are much the
worse for wear. „ „

All these people as a rule are tired,
yet happy and contented, but — there is
one serious drawback as far as the local
florists are concerned : The small change
left in their pocketbooks looks as lone-
some as a tree on the Sahara. Therefore,
while we can readily see that prospects
for a big business in the near future are
exceedingly bright, that hoped for in-
crease has as yet scarcely been felt. Two
more weeks, however, and we expect the
song will have a different tune, and our
visits to the city florists will be punctu-
ated with such expressions as "Excuse
me while I answer the phone," or "Par-
don me while I wait on this customer."

Little difficulty is being experienced
by the local trade in securing all the
flowers it can possibly use. Chicago and
the California markets are the principal
out-of-town sources at the present time.
From California we get the few Chrysan-
themums which are ifow coming in. Not
many of these blooms have been observed
in the city as the season is just opening
up and those that are here are not of
very high or lasting , qualities. The
weather is still too hot for shipments to
arrive in good> condition and express
rates are too high to make it profitable
to handle them. The local crops, of
which there are an abundance, will be
ready for picking in a short time, and
when these begin to bloom the market
will be well supplied. The demand will
also be much better for Chrysanthemums
a little later, there being small call for
them now.

Homegrown Radiance Roses and Pre-
miers are still in fine condition and will
last for at least a month longer. These
form the bulk of the stock disposed of.
The Radiance Roses bring from $2 to $3
per doz. while the Premiers are selling
for from $4 to $5. Tuberoses are about
over, only a few remaining in stock to
tell of their past glory and these appear
to be on their deathbed so that nobody
wants them. Gladioli are still to be
found in small numbers, but these, too,
have seen their best days come and wane.

The Carnations are coming back, much
to the delight of the majority of florists
for these posies are ready sellers and
profitable, once they again become stable.
At present the demand is not so heavy,
but they are becoming heavy competitors
of the Summer Aster, which has had a
good run ; and they will in a short time
crowd this bloom into third place. Even
now the race is neck and neck though
the Carnations are handicapped by short
stems. Both are selling for around $2
per doz.

The orchid is once more jumping into
prominence. Not that many people are
purchasing it as yet for it is a little too
early for that. However, it is being used
most effectively as a window decoration.
Obarles Eble had some fine specimens in
his window during the past week which
he said were grown in his own green-
houses.

Seek Local Flowers

A sort of "Buy at Home" movement
will be launched at the meeting of the
New Orleans Horticultural Society which
will meet at Canone Bros., Metairie
Ridge and Labarre rd. Sunday afternoon,
and an effort will be made to promote
the growing of more flowers and to de-
crease the number of those which have
to be imported for the Fall and Winter
seasons.

Officials of the society declare that
local florists send about $25,000 a month
out of the city for flowers to supply the
local demand. The society will try to
arrange to have more flowers grown in
the immediate vicinity, and thus keep
the greater part of this money in circu-
lation here. E. A. Farley is also sched-

uled to make a talk on Easter Lily Cul-
ture, a subject on which he is well
posted.

U. J. Virgin, Jr., is spending a ten
days' vacation at Coopers Wells, Ray-
mond, Miss.

Poisoners Cover 3000 Blocks

Virtually 3000 blocks had been
covered by the poisoners in the local ant
extermination campaign when operations
were suspended at the end of this week;
the major part of the more heavily set-
tled portions of the city lay blanketed
with 350,000 cans of the compound. The
indications are that the scattered por-
tions in the area below Canal st. would
be attended to early next week. Uptown
the distribution has progressed over a
slightly smaller area.

In three weeks as much has been per-
formed as it was estimated could be ac-
complished in five. At the present rate
the middle of next month will witness
the completion of the task. Temporary
suspension may be caused by a lack of
sponges needed for the work.

Trade Prospects and Doings

September is nearly gone and al-
ready we are beginning to feel the crisp,
Autumnal atmosphere. And already our
little yellow and pink sales sheets are be-
ginning to become bulky, in anticipation
of and preparation for the busy season
just around the corner. And with the en-
trance of October, comes the big gorgeous
displays of yellow Chrysanthemums. They
always speak Fall and they seem to stimu-
late the jaded flower minds of the public
to a realization of the season of the year,
and to a rejuvenated purchasing trend.
Chrysanthemums mean life — sparkling,
vivid, colorful, active life — they speak of
football games, of jubilant spirits, of
rosy red cheeks, of woolen scarfs, and
warm colored sweaters, and hearty exhil-
aration.

Along with the coming of Fall is the
advent of shorter days and long evenings,
with the show windows brightly lighted,
and cheerfully decorated, as the office
workers go home at night. The Fall win-
dows, all of them gay and gaudy with new
showings, effervesce a spirit of cordiality,
good hope and good business. And, too,
with all of the touring vacationers re-
turning home, business in general feels
the gentle pushing of a new impetus, a
new optimism, a new liberality, a new and
slowly increasing prosperity.

In Houston there are several concrete
evidences of this prosperity. Carroll the
Florist has just appeared with a brand
new delivery car, spick and span, and
shining in gold leaf and silver paint. And
Mr. Carroll further advises that this
week will witness the repainting of his
store front, and the repainting of the
huge electric lighted signboard he has on
the top of his building. A slight amount
of interior redecorating and the addition
of a few new fixtures, complete his pre-
parations for a busy Fall. But the big-
gest innovation in Houston is taking
place in the store of Kerr the Florist. He
is just on the verge of moving into new
quarters just a few doors from his pres-
ent location, where he will have a much
larger store, including about 50ft. of
front on Main st. R. C. Kerr is jubilant
over the prospects, and is firm in his con-
victions that he will have >the finesit
flower store in the South." If prepara-
tions mean anything, he certainly will,
for every day finds him, coat off, and
sleeves rolled up, superintending the la-
bors of some dozen workmen who are
putting the finishing touches on the in-
terior of his new store. We congratulate
Mr. Kerr on his expansion, and look for-
ward to seeing a flower store that a city
much more than the size of Houston could
well be proud of.

By way of stock just now, Houston flo-
rists are receiving most Of their best
'Mums from California, and a few from
Illinois. The large yellow Chrysolora
bring $12 a doz., as do the best white
Oconto, while the smaller varieties range
on down at $10, $8 and $6 to the small
varieties, and the larger Pompons at $3
and $4 per doz.

As yet there are no extra nice Roses
on the market; a few of the florists have
ventured to try a shipment from St. Louis
or Kansas City, but with little satisfac-
tion. It will be a few weeks before Hous-
ton will have nice Roses. At present, we

are being satisfied with home grown
Radiance and Columbia which are, at
best, a $4 grade. _ Asters are about played
out, but a few nice ones are still coming
in from California, all bringing $2.50 a
doz. Marigolds, at $1.50 a doz., Zinnias,
Blue Rods and Golden Rod all at 50c. a
doz. are plentiful and serve a good pur-
pose in enabling the florists to stock up
their stores and windows with pretty bas-
kets and vases.

A number of September weddings and
the promise of an unusually large num-
ber of prominent local October weddings
are serving to make all of the Houston
florists optimistic over the prospects for
the approaching Fall.

Paul M. Carroll of Carroll the Florist
is the only Houston florist who will at-
tend the F. T. D. meeting at Baltimore.
Mr. Carroll will leave on the eighth, and
will include in his itinerary a trip to
New York, Philadelphia and Washington
for the purpose of visiting the flower
stores in these cities. C. E. W.

Serious Fire Threatens Florist

A fire which broke out about mid-
night Saturday, Sept. 23, in the business
district on Whitehall st., threatened to
develop into a serious conflagration, en-
dangering the stores of two of our city
florists and one seedsman.

The blaze started in the Kress 5 & 10
cent store in the center of the block, and
gradually made its way toward the out-
side of the block bounded by Whitehall,
Alabama and Broad sts. and the W. and
A. R. R.. It was fortunate that the night '
was comparatively still, for had a strong
wind been blowing we would have a dif-
ferent story to tell. As it is, the damage
is estimated at approximately one million
dollars, for practically all the merchants
on the block suffered loss by fire, water
or smoke.

The W. H. Letton Seed Co. at 12 S.
Broad St., which is in the fire block, was
fortunate in escaping damage of any sort.
The awning in front of the Joy Floral
Co. on the Peachtree side of the Arcade
was burned and the heat cracked the plate
glass window, but this was the extent of
the damage done there. The roof of the
Weinstock Flower Shop caught fire sev-
eral times, but was extinguished before
any damage was done.

We are sorry to report that B. G.
Brown, recently sent here from the home
office of the Joy Floral Co., at Nashville,
Term., to take charge of its store in the
Arcade, was suddenly stricken Saturday
afternoon and rushed to the Davis Fisher
Sanatorium for a serious operation. We
understand that he is doing nicely and
hope that he will speedily recover.

Jacob Weinstock has been appointed
chairman of the florists committee which
is doing its share in raising a $150,000
entertainment fund to be used at the time
of the National Convention of the B. P.
O. E. to be held in Atlanta next July.
We understand that $100,000 of the fund
is already pledged.

Our sympathy is with Mrs. M. W.
Stallings in the death of her brother, Dan-
iel Webster.

Grady Powers, who has had charge of
the West End Gardens for the past sea-
son, is now connected with the West View
Greenhouses.

Miss Carrie Chance is motoring through
North Georgia and Tennessee.

The Southern Nursery Association will
hold its next convention in Atlanta in
September 1923.

This past week the Weinstock Flower
Shop received some large funeral orders
too late to enable it to make train con-
nections for Copper Hill, Tenn., so the
management — equal to the occasion — ■
made the delivery by truck. H. S. Gib-
son and two drivers left Atlanta at 7
p.m. and arrived at seven next morning,
two hours before the scheduled time for
the funeral. They were back in Atlanta
at 4 in the afternoon. The distance from
Atlanta to Copper Hill, Tenn., is about
120 miles and we do not envy Mr. Gib-
son his long night ride over unfamiliar
roads through a mountainous country. He
reports losing the road once, but got his
bearings again in good time. Mr. Gilson
claims that the way through the moun-
tains was very dark, which contradicts
our impression that "moonshine" is always
to be found there.

The Stallings Flower Shop, which for
some time has been operating two stores,

one at 41 and the other at 138 Peachtree
st., will discontinue the former one when
the lease expires in October and will con-
centrate its forces at 138 Peachtree.

The monthly meeting of the Atlanta
Florists and Horticulturists Club will
be held Oct. 2 in the Chamber of Com-
merce Building. At this meeting officers
for the ensuing year will be elected. We
hear whispers of an entertainment feature
that should insure a full attendance.

ENDORSED BY OUK LEADING HORTICULTURAL SOCIETIES

'THE CLERICAL WORK of Every Flower Show Exhibition Should
*■ Be Run on Business Lines. Our System is the best, the simplest,
the least expensive, and, in every particular, the most satisfactory.

We have devised, for the use of Managers
and Secretaries, a set of Three Books, Entry
Forms, Entry Cards and Pasters, covering in
detail the orderly and systematic arrange-
ment of every item in bookkeeping, from
the time the Entry Forms are given out to
the payment of prizes and closing up of ac-

complete that prize winners can be paid off
without confusion immediately after Judges'
decisions have been rendered. The system
is so plain that no instructions from us have
ever been called for.

This system, once tried, is ever a favorite;
it can be tiuthfully called the greatest Labor

Looking Ahead

Three Great Months

It is from early October on and up to
ew Year that you want to do all the
isiness you can; that is, if you are a
■tail grower. These three months and also
pril, May and June are moneymakers.
' you cannot make money during these
,x months you cannot hope to do it dur-
ig the other six. It is all right to keep
■i doing business all Summer and sell
1 you can during the first three months
J the year, but it is well worth while
i make special efforts for the Fall and
pring months. No matter how large or
mall your greenhouse establishment may
e or what you yourself grow on or what
jou don't grow, what counts most is
[hat you have to offer in your showhouse,
bore' and cooler. How well you are
rocked up and how well you display your
toek; how you advertise and what serv-
'^e you give. It is foolish to try to grow
gardenias, orchids, Roses and a lot of
jther stock on a small scale or as a
5de line: you are able to purchase all of
Ihese things and should have them in
[our assortment, but devote your own
nme to other more paying lines.

jetting Ready for the Fall Business

Right now the demand starts for bulbs
»f all kinds for in and outdoor planting;
ire you going to supply a good part of
vhat your patrons will want? You should
lave a good display on hand. Next, as
t side line, come hardy stock, shrubs,
:onifers and perennials. Why not get into
t? Your showhouse should by early Oc-
ober be filled with nice palms, ferns,
Protons, Dracaenas and other decorative
slants. Call for such will start now and
ilso for the filling of fern dishes. You
vill need small ferns, Cocos and Aspara-
rus plumosus right along. Thanksgiving
s on the way; get ready now to adver-
;ise. Let people know and the same about
Christmas and New Year's. Stock up,
;eep on making a good display. Consider
laving a little Chrysanthemum show all
^our own, it pays. You can purchase a
'ew good pot 'Mums and large single stem
)looms, if you have none of your own.
Stock up with flowering plants, adver-
:ise, make a noise, keep it up. This'
."ear, the same as last, there is a good
mance to make money during the next
three months.

La Reine Tulips

One of the Best

This variety is still one of the most
useful of all Tulips for the florist, good
for early and late. It is good whether in
white or pink, cut or in pans, and the
bulbs are not high priced compared with
Dthers. No florist can make a mistake in
planting more of La Reine than any
other early single Tulip. Plant as early
is is possible. A well rooted La Reine
Tulip forces about as easily as anything
we obtain in the way of Dutch bulbs and
even those who force just one flat at a
time can do it successfully if they bring
into heat well rooted plants. After that,
it is just a matter of heat and moisture
to bring thenr in and a dark place to en-
courage a fair sized stem. Can you use
100, 200 or 1000 La Reine per week from
January on up to Easter? It is for
you to figure out and then plant accord-
ingly and get at it. Don't wait until you
find out how things come along; they
won't come along unless you get busy.

Grand Soleil d'Or

A Fine Narcissus

A mistake often made is to plant the
bulbs of Grand Soleil d'Or Narcissi into
too shallow flats. In such, if after the
roots have formed a heavy mat, the soil is
allowed to dry out a couple of times, as
will sometimes happen, you won't realize
much out of the flowers. One can easily
tell the difference in the quality of flow-
ers cut from plants grown in benches and

such out of shallow flats. The bulbs are
too high priced to run any chances; use
4in. deep flats and always keep the soil
moist. If you only grow on a few, deep
bulb pans may be used, or 6in. pots. The
bulbs of this Narcissus are usually
large and to try and flower them in 2% in.
flat is always risky, even with the most
careful watering. Plant Soleil d'Or and
try to have every bulb produce a good
flower stalk. The fine, deep yellow, sweet
scented flowers are always in demand
around the mid-Winter holidays or just
before the other larger flowering Narcissi
are plentiful.

Solanums

Care of the Plants

We know that a hot, dry atmosphere
soon finishes the best Solanum ever
grown and that is true of the Cleveland
Cherries or the many others we know as
Peppers. If you potted up field plants,

every florist should have a few of them
at least to cut from. The blue and white
Climax are among the best and you can
use the flowers for many purposes. Anoth-
er good perennial just now is Pyrethrum
uliginosum; not much good if you have
to wholesale them, but for the retail
grower, they come in mighty handy and
so do the Heleniums also in bloom now.
These late flowering plants, like the oth-
ers, are better divided annually, but do
it in Spring. Do it early.

Timely Suggestions Before Cold
Weather

Get it in. That holds good with all
stock you have outdoors at this time
and which requires protection against
frost. If you are located East, North or
in the Middle West, you don't know
When the first heavy frost will surprise
us after this date. Watch out with the

Polystichium acrostichoides. Christmas Ferm

try to keep the plants in a rather cool
house and always provide plenty of mois-
ture around them. It is a good plan
to go over every plant a week or so after
they are potted; see to it that every pot
is provided with good drainage and after
that, never allow the soil in the pots to
dry out. If you have sufficient drainage,
the plants when once established, can
stand water almost every day. Small
plants of Cleveland Cherries are just right
for making up pans and as such are in
demand around Thanksgiving, Christmas
and New Year's; don't overlook stocking
up with a nice batch. Birdseye Peppers
are useful for Christmas in making up in-
expensive baskets and the fruit usually
stays on long after the leaves are gone.
If you are short on Solanums of any kind,
the present is the time to buy what you
need.

Field Notes

Dividing Perennials

You can't go wrong in dividing
your field plants of such perennials as
Shasta Daisies, Achillea, Gaillardia, Cor-
eopsis and anything that can be divided
each year. Early Fall is the best time
to do" it. Stock divided and replanted
will become re-established before Winter-
sets in and that is what you want. With
Peonies, you will always benefit them by
dividing the clumps every third year. If
you take up a few each year, it is better
than dividing all you have at once, for
you can't expect much in the way of flow-
ers the following year from those divided
the previous Fall. Right now some of the
finest hardy Asters are in bloom and

Stevia and Solanums still in the field;
they can stand cold, but not freezing.
Label C'annas and Dahlias before the}'
freeze. Get in the stock plants of Salvias,
Heliotrope, Ageratum, Lantanas; a little
freezing might nut ruin them, but it
won't benefit them. Geraniums touched
by frost never make fit material for cut-
tings. If you have plants of Geraniums
in the field of varieties you are short on,
lift them; cut back a little and plant
into pots. They can be placed below a
bench for a few weeks, if short on room,
but don't leave them there any longer
than necessary. Are your cold frames in
good shape? You will appreciate them
from now on up to next Spring. Quite
a few of your stock plants may be stored
in a frame for the next few weeks if you
need the space inside for other things.

A Centenarian Florist

Here is a story which comes to us from
Bloomington, 111.:

When August Rhode was nine years old,
his father, a florist, died and August had
to go to work in his place. He's been at
it ever since — 91 years. At 100 he still
cultivates flowers for a living and does an
able bodied man's work every day.

Rhode was born in West Prussia, but
came to this country in his youth. He
has outlived three wives and all his nine
children, but has several grandchildren,
of whom he is very fond. His memory is
clear, his health sound and his senses all
are intact.

He has smoked since boyhood and has
drunk a little beer.

Christmas Fern

Polystichum acrostichoides

Here we have one of our best known
and most important native ferns. It gets
its common name from its evergreen char-
acter, as it remains green all Winter un-
der the snow. Tons and tons of the fronds
are collected each Autumn from the woods,
and shipped to the city florists to be sold
for holiday decorations. This traffic has
become so large that in some sections it
has been necessary to enact and enforce
laws regulating it.

The Christmas fern grows almost every-
where in our eastern woodlands, but it
prefers rather dry or well drained soil.
It spreads rapidly and forms large dense
masses. It can be easily transplanted
and cultivated, either in the garden or
the greenhouse.

Almost every nurseryman or florist
who sells plants offers this fern in his
catalog under the name of Aspidium acros-
tichoides, but the correct book name
should be Polystichum acrostichoides. Un-
der either name it is a good fern, but
bettev still when it is just the Christ
mas fern and growing in riotous profu-
sion !n its native woods.

Frank A. Waugh.

The Motor Cultivator is Coming

From time to time we have commented
on the development of motor cultivators
or light, garden tractors, and on the broad
field of opportunity that awaits the ma-
chine that really proves itself capable
of filling that field. We have gone to con-
siderable trouble in endeavoring to find
that urgently desired implement but have
ever been forced to conclude that while
several makes are commendable and use-
ful under favoring conditions, none has
yet appeared that can be called the "per-
fect, all-round" motor cultivator, even
with the most generous interpretation of
"perfect." This conclusion seems justified
also by the fact that notwithstanding their
claims, manufacturers of these implements
have never come forward with a system-
atic, sustained advertising appeal to the
practical growers in the horticultural in-
dustry. In this era of universal publicity,
no one refrains from telling his story to
his most promising potential clientele
when he has convinced himself that his
product can be weighed in the balance
by the practical mail and not found
wanting.

Further interesting comment on this
subject and in this same vein is to be
found in the "Monthly Report of Exten-
sion Work for Market Gardeners" for
August, issued by the Massachusetts Agri-
cultural College, which says:

"The motor cultivator is coming, and in
a few years will be seen on most uptodate
market gardens. We have counseled de-
lay in purchase in many instances because
we believe that there are marked im-
provements under way, and that the ex-
perience that men have had with their
machines during the past five years has
shown how to overcome many of the dif-
ficulties that have become painfully ap-
parent to men who have purchased. We
hope that the opportunity to observe
| some of these machines] at the Field
Day was helpful in gaining an under-
standing of improvements which have al-
ready been made and in finding out what
the prospects are for labor saving in this
particular field."

Stamford (Conn.) Hort. Society

The regular mid-monthly meeting of
this society was held Monday, Sept. 1?
A pink seedling Dahlia and a red were
shown by A.. Geddis; these were con-
sidered good, a certificate of merit being
awarded for the red one. Thos. Saddler
showed a vase of pink Dahlias and was
awarded 75 points.

The schedule of the Fall show to be
held in Horticultural Hall Nov. 3 and
4 has now been mailed to the members.

to show a decided upward trend and the
wholesalers are already experiencing
trouble in supplying the demand for some
varieties. Trade is fairly brisk and prices
generally are good. There has been a
steady demand for Swainsona, Lily of the
\ alley and Stephanotis for wedding bou-
quets and other decorations, but the local
wholesalers have been unable to fill the
majority of these orders and it has been
necessary to bring these varieties in from
outside the city. Tor this reason efforts
are made to place the orders for decora-
tions requiring these flowers as far in
advance as possible.

During the week there was a consider-
able amount of outdoor stock offered and
this moved readily. Roses are improving
and this is resulting in an increased de-
mand. Some fairly long stemmed stock
was offered and sold readily at from $8
to $12 per 100. Russell, Columbia and
Butterfly are especially good. Short
stemmed Eoses are being used in consid-
erable quantities, some of the best varie-
ties being Ward, Butterfly, Premier and
Columbia.

Gladioli are in constant demand and the
market is still suffering from an under
supply of this variety. Prices range from
$6 to $10 per 100. Carnations are better
with stems a little longer, and these bring
$2 per 100. but short stemmed can be
had in large quantities at from 50c. to $1
per 100. Good Asters are scarce, yet
some have been handled at $2 per 100.
There is an increasing demand for Dahlias
and the efforts of the local florists to
popularize this flower are beginning to
have an effect. Most of the stock moves
at about $3 per 100.

News Notes

Washington florists are congratulat-
ing Richard Saner, of the George C. Shaf-
fer store, on the honorable mention he
received at the recent Atlantic City car-
nival for his decoration of the chair oc-
cupied by Miss Washington (Miss Evelyn
C. Lewis). His work is particularly de-
serving of praise on account of the fact
that all the decorating was done the day
before the pageant, while some of the 57
chairs in the parade had been in prepara-
tion for a week or more. Miss Washing-

ton's chair was lined with pink and blue
velour, with Americus Gladioli and Carnot
Roses furnishing the background. This
was finished off with Croton, Pandanus
and privet foliage. Over 400 yards of
ribbon were used in forming the back and
the effect with the flowers was that of a
cushion. A large cluster of Russell Roses
decorated the front, and these same Roses,
interspersed with Adiantum and Farley-
ense ferns, were showered all over the
chair. All the flowers used were sup-
plied by Washington wholesale establish-
ments.

What promises to be one of Washing-
ton's most attractive floral establishments
is soon to be opened by Herbert M. Sau-
ber, at Thomas Circle and 14th st; he also
conducts the stand at the Wardman Park
Hotel. Mr. Sauber has had much ex-
perience in the flower business, having
been with George C. Shaffer, and at one
time manager and vice-president of Black-
istone, Inc., and his latest enterprise will
set an example for other local retailers.
The store will be opened about the first of
October.

Mrs. Foltz, of the George C. Shaffer
store has returned from a motor trip
taken through Virginia with her hus-
band.

The commissioners of the District of
Columbia have designated John H. Small,
3d, as landscape architect for the new
Gallinger municipal hospital group on the
Anacostia Parkway which, when com-
pleted, will be one of the finest institutions
of its kind in the country.

The redecorating of the store of Z. D.
Blackistone has been completed, and the
new finish is certainly striking. The
woodwork is done in green, with yellow
trimmings; the floor is polished red with
black border, and the ceiling white.

George C. Shaffer spent the week end
last week at Atlantic City. He and other
members of the 1923 Shrine Conventions
Committee held several meetings during
which arrangements for the meeting that
will be held in Washington next year
were discussed. I

Washington's Dahlia show to be held
Oct. 2 and 3 at the headquarters of the
Florists Club, promises to be a great suc-
cess, and the committee chairmen are all
confident that it will prove one of the big-
gest things that the club has ever pushed
across. Amateur and commercial growers
will participate and it is anticipated that
there will be quite a premium list.

Is This Our Youngest Florist ?

If there is anything at all in the various
proverbs and adages about "building a
firm foundation," "starting out on the
right road," etc., then we predict a bright
and useful future in the field of floricul-
ture for William P. Kohman of 863 Troy
ave., Brooklyn, N. Y.

William is ten years old and a lover of
flowers. But whereas a good many boys
and girls of that age may be said to be
the same, he is far and away more of an
enthusiast than any we have ever met or
heard about. Not content with what he
could do raising plants in the family gar-
den, he started out to study the details
of practical greenhouses, of which there
are a number in his neighborhood. Then,
working at odd times during his vacation
this past Summer, he built, by himself
and according to his own adaptation of the
ideas he had seen, the miniature structure
shown in the accompanying illustrations.

The dimensions are: length, 5ft. 8in.;
width, 4ft. 2in.; height (outside), 4ft. Sin.

Side view of William Kohman's miniature
greenhouse, showing side sash raised for
ventilation. The house is full of a variety
of thrifty specimens.

Inside, the floor level is one foot below
the surface of the ground, giving him good
headroom between the two side benches.
The side sashes are hinged for ventilating,
and while, apparently, there is no pro-
vision for heating (he won't have to
worry about fuel this Winter, anyway),
the house ought to enable him to carry
over a goodly stock of cool house and
hardy plants. At all events it is at pres-
ent full of a variety of thrifty specimens
which are coming along nicely. His plans
include growing a number of flowering
plants for early Spring and Summer plant-
ing in the Kohman garden.

There are various horticultural honors
to which different communities can lay
claim. Is there any city or town to dis-
pute the right of Brooklyn, N". Y., to the
title of "Home of America's Youngest
Greenhouse Builder and Flower Grower?"

William C. Kohman of Brooklyn, N. Y., 10-
year-old plant grower, and the greenhouse
he built all himself. (See text)

Stetjbenville, O. — The Huscroft's
greenhouse will be enlarged by the
American Greenhouse Manufacturing Co.
of Chicago. This will make a total of
over 60,000 sq. ft. of glass. W. N. B.

has ample toughness and
strength — it is waterproof —
it keeps moisture "in" the
roots — and it keeps the out-

That's why so many nurseries
have found Grizzlybear to be
such a perfect wrap — particular-
ly for sending plants by

For example: The Barnes Nur-
series of Cincinnati write —
"Grizzlybear is the best
wrapping material we
have ever used. We have
used it in wrapping small
fruit plants to go by par-

cause it sticks close to the

The Nurserymen's Fall Campaign

"Make It Five Hundred"

ANYONE familiar with Philadelphia and its en
virons can probably appreciate the value, from
a nurseryman's standpoint, of a location in the
town of Narberth. Pa. Even one who has never been
near the "city of brotherly love" will understand this
when it is explained that Narberth is one
of a number of charming suburban com-
munities strung along the "main line" ot
the Pennsylvania Railroad to the west,
that it is the location of many beautiful
homes and estates, both large and small
and old and new, and that its excellent
roads are used daily by thousands of local
residents on their way to and from the
metropolis and by other thousands of tour-
ists and visitors "just passing through."

Yet even such a favored location might
prove but indifferently profitable for a
nursery establishment if the latter niadu
no attempt to make itself attractive as well
as practical and productive. No such mis-
take has been made by A. E. Wohlert, pro-
prietor of the- Garden Nurseries. On the
contrary, he has taken advantage of an ad-
mirable site fronting on the important main
thoroughfare of Montgomery ave. and has
so beautified his property where it skirts
the roadway and the grounds surrounding
his office building with the plant materials
of his trade, that the establishment is a
magnet for plant loving observers from one
end of the year to the other. The first of the accom-
panying illustrations gives a partial idea of the suc-
cess with which he has carried out his ideas in this
direction. Also, together with the other pictures, it
is of interest in connection with the significant ques-
tion, What sort of plants are our nurserymen grow-
ing to meet the shortages caused by the enforcement
of Qu. 37?

To come right to the point, the Garden Nurseries
are featuring especially Japanese Rose-flowering
Cherries and Azaleas, although they also grow and
retail practically a complete general line of orna-
mental stock. In fact, it is so general and so com
plete that, says Mr. Wohlert, "it is very seldom that
we have to turn down an order on account of our

inability to fill it in full with our own materials.''

It is these Flowering Cherries that show up so ef-
fectively in the illustration below. In addition to
nemg grown in large blocks, they are planted in
generous numbers along the entire Montgomery ave.

boundary of, the nurseries. The picture which was
taken in May gives the impression of white blossoms,
whereas they are actually tinted strongly with pink
which makes them even more beautiful. However,
even after the blooming season the trees with their
clean, bright leaves make most attractive shade trees ;
and for the Winter season generous use has been
made of conifers and broad-leaved evergreens which
can be seen in the background and beneath the hard-
woods.

In addition to the Cherries there are being grown

large quantities of various kinds of Mains, many of

Ibese being sold dormant for planting out. but still

more being disposed of in tubs while in bloom. "Tree.:

(Continued on page 868)

HE Fall seems to lie the logical time for cam-
paigns, political ami otherwise. With the close
of the vacation season, the coming of the brisker
Autumn temperatures, and the approach of a new
year of promise, folks seem to take on a new lease of
energy and find themselves able to "put
over" drives of all kinds with increased •
vigor and determination.

In such circumstances the membership
campaign instituted by President Lindley
and the Executive Committee of the Ameri-
can Association of Nurserymen has gotten
underway auspiciously. The slogan for the
present is "Make it 500" — a task which it
should iiot prove difficult to accomplish if
only a moderate proportion of the present
members get busy and bring in or, send in
a new member apiece. To this end there
are being distributed among the member-
ship application blanks carrying complete
information as to requirements, dues, etc.;
these the members are asked to place in
the hands of nurserymen who are not now
but who might be and should be members
of the A. A. N. Nothing difficult about
that, surely, for we simply cannot conceive
that there exists a single member of the
industry who cannot name at least one
friend or acquaintance who does not al-
ready belong to the association.
Just as a reminder, it may prove worth
while to quote the following bits of information from
the circulars being sent out by (and to be returned
to) Secretary Charles Sizemore, Louisiana, Mo.:

There are two classes of members in the A. A. N„
namely, active or voting, "who shall be actively en-

A Nursery that Practices What
It Preaches

{Continued from page S67)
4ft. to 6ft. high," remarked Mr. Woklert,
"if bushy and well formed, bring from
$5 to $7.50 each when in bloom, and up
to the present we have never had enough
of them to meet the demand. Another
season we hope to have sufficient, as we
expect to have about 1000 in pots, but
we cannot' be sure that even these will
take care of all our orders."

In connection with the use of these
flowering species, both on his own grounds
aud on the property of his customers, the
fact that Mr. Wohlert ia an expert land-
scape architect, with an extensive ex-
perience behind him (including the ad-
ministration for some time of the land-
scape department of the Pennsylvania
Kailroad) enables him to make sugges-
tions and carry out ideas that are of
considerable help in popularizing the ma-
terials.

In the way of Azaleas the Garden Nur-
series are growing some 50,000 plants of
the two popular sorts, Hinodigiri and
Kurume. One of the illustrations at the
bottom of the page shows one-year-old
Azaleas in frames, the latter having a
capacity of 4000 each, although Mr. Woh-
lert has made a practice of not planting
quite so thickly. A second view is of
older plants — A. Hinodigiri in the fore-
ground and to the right, and a row of
larger plants of A. Kirishima, are dark .
red forcing variety, at the left. Plants
two years old in August growing on anoth-
er field not pictured here were found to
range from lOin. to 18in. in diameter, the
majority ranging between 12in. and 15in.
A considerable stock of Azalea indica alba
is also under cultivation. In all instances
the plants are kept well mulched with
half rotted leaves which show as rough
irregular material in the pictures.

The third illustration at the bottom
is of part of a batch of 50,000 Buxus suf-
fruticosa. At the time the picture was
taken early in the Summer, the plants
were from 3in. to 4in. high. At present
they indicate that they have made an
average increase in growth of a. good -
inch.

Grape Culture in Florida

The Southern Adapted Nurseries, of
Bartow. Fla., just incorporated with a
capital stock of $125,000. are arranging
to plant 30 acres to Grape stock, ten
acres to Blackberries and tree Blueber-
ries and 50 acres to vineyard in which
Grapes will be grown for the market.
The officers of this firm are T. G. Lock-
wood, president ; F. J. Zimmerman, vice-
president : and E. L. Zimmerman, secre-
tary and treasurer. The members of this
firm have made a careful study of the
Grape for a number of years, and will
specialize in species adapted to the soil
aud climate of Florida.

Southern Nurserymen's
Association

Echoes of the Lexington Convention

Supplementing the report of the suc-
cessful meeting of this organization on
Sept. 14 and 15 (see issue of Sept. 23,
page 797) it seems desirable to publish the
following extract from the report of the
Committee on Resolutions which was
adopted unanimously :

"In accordance with the suggestion
made at this convention in regard to clos-
er cooperation between the national or-
ganization of nurserymen and the sec-
tional and State organizations, it is hereby

"Resolved, That the Southern Nursery-
men's Association identify itself with the
American Association of Nurserymen,
agreeing to appoint committeemen of its
own association to work with the Ameri-
can Association and, furthermore, to
carry on its letterhead and all literature
published by it these words: 'Affiliated
with the American Association of Nur-
serymen; and be it further,

"Resolved, That the secretary of the
Southern Nurserymen's Association be in-
structed to send a copy of this resolution
to . the , secretaries of the other district
associations and to those of all State as-
sociations, with a request that the subject
be brought up at their next regular meet-
ing: and be it further,

"Resolved, That every member of this
association use his every effort to secure
new members for this and the American
Association of Nurserymen."

This action being aimed at closer co-
operation between the national and sub-
ordinate organizations is distinctly sig-
nificant and is commended to all other
State aud local bodies.

There was also appointed a committee
on standardization, consisting of John
Fraser, C. T. Smith and J. R. Mayhew, to
cooperate with the corresponding
committee of the A. A. N. in an attempt

[Continued from page 868)

to bring about uniform standardization
rules.

An especially interesting address was
that of Charles T. Smith, Concord, Ga.,
on "Recent and Threatened Legislation,"
in which he told of the restrictions im-
posed by the new Georgia licensing law
and forecast further drastic regula-
tions which, he said, nurserymen might
expect unless something was done to pre-
vent them. He gave it as his opinion that
there was no future for the industry un-
less fairer laws were enacted, since the
nurseryman might as well go out of busi-
ness as attempt to comply with some of
the requirements already demanded or
soon to be demanded of them. This ad-
dress marked the only note of pessimism
struck during the convention, yet every-
one present seemed to appreciate the truth
of Mr. Smith's remarks.

Following an enthusiastic, forcible talk
by J. A. Young, secretary of the Illinois
Association of Nurserymen and origina-
tor of the "Plan to Plant Another Tree"
slogan, the convention voted to endorse the
Illinois plan and to appropriate a sum of
money to be donated to the Illinois As-
sociation to helj) along the countrywide
campaign. At a subsequent meeting of
the executive committee $100 was ap-
propriated for this purpose and sent to
Treas. M. A. Bryant, Princeton, 111. Mr.
Young was much gratified at this concrete
expression of approval, the Southern As-
sociation being the first to have backed
up its support of the -"Plant Another
Tree" campaign with real money.

Nurserymen from different sections be-
ing called upon to report on local condi-
tions, with almost no exceptions described
,the outlook as exceptionally good, stock
having made good growth and sales pros-,
.pects being better than they were last
{year.

ciation has reason to feel satisfied with
its progress. About 40 nursery firms are
on its roster and it is more than prob-
able that many others will find it to their
advantage to .join. This is an age of
cooperation and as some organizations,
such as the Pacific Nurserymen's Asso-
ciation, have found it to their advantage
to get a tab on stock prospects, it is not
unreasonable to assume that others will
find it necessary also.

The number of nurseries has greatly
increased during the past two years, while
propagation is going on at a pace that
may mean huge brush piles and enormous
losses a few years hence. It was to dis-
cuss this and other questions that the
Eastern Nurserymen's Association met at
Trenton, N. J., on Thursday, Sept. 21.
The Stacy-Trent hotel was the venue, the
meeting being called for 2 p.m. A lunch
preceded the meeting, but were it not
for the fact that horticulturists, as a
whole, are both mild mannered and jovial,
one fears that the lunch or the lack of
its component parts, would have made
some of the members at least too sore
to attend a meeting with any comforted
state of mind.

J. Edward Moon, Morrisville, Pa., presi-
dent of the association, took the chair,
and he was not only supported by Vice-
President Lester C. Lovett, Little Silver,
N. J.; Secretary F. F. Rockwell, Bridge-
ton, N. J., and Treasurer Adolf Muller,
Norristown, Pa., but also by most of the
executive committee and members. Among
them were: Wm. Flemer and Son, Spring-
field, N. J.; Robert Pyle, West Grove,
Pa.; Thos. B. Meehan and B. Meehan,
Dresher, Pa.; P. M. Koster, Bridgeton,
N. J.; A. E. Wohlert, Narberth, Pa.;
James Clark of H. A. Dreer, F. L. Atkins
of Bobbink & Atkins, B. H. Farr, Wyo-
missing, Pa.: Henry Moon and others rep-
resenting Hoopes Bros. & Thomas, An-
dorra Nurseries, Bound Brook Nurseries,
Rose Dale Nurseries. New Brunswick
Nurseries, etc., etc.

President Moon briefly referred to the
work accomplished after which he asked
Secretary Rockwell to explain what had
been done in the way of stock reports
by the Pacific Coast Nurserymen's Asso-
ciation. Following Mr. Rockwell, Wm.
Flemer touched up the necessity of con-
trol; citing the present Potato situation
he showed what might happen to nursery
stock if uncontrolled production was car-
ried on as at present.

He referred to 40 years ago when pro-
duction was carried on to such an extent
that many firms went to the wall. If
they could get a line on the amount of
stock in the section covered by their as-
sociation, undoubted benefit would result.

Robert Pyle agreed and considered that
it should eventually be obligatory on the
part of all members to send in stock
reports, and they might in the end be
able to have assistance from outsiders
also.

Mr. Rockwell submitted a proposed
form of stock report blank and after Mr.
Lovett and Mr. Osman of New Bruns-
wick had expressed their views, it was

agreed unanimously that the proposed
blanks be issued to all members and the
aid of non-members also be sought. The
reports received would be tabulated by
some disinterested person and only by the
totals placed before the members. A stock
report committee of five retail and whole-
sale men is to be appointed temporarily
by the president, and this committee will
have the duty of deciding the form of
report blank and also deal with the totals.

P. M. Koster referred to the delays
that might ensue, if the reports were to be
put through by mail — he spoke from ex-
perience in Holland — but it was gener-
ally agreed that the association was not
yet in a position to employ a man to per-
sonally collect the data. President Moon
anticipated that some useful information
can be gained through the mails and he
expects the analyzed totals will be avail-
able for the meeting next January.

Treasurer Muller reported that close
on $450 represented the funds of the as-
sociation; they had no liabilities outside
their indebtedness to the secretary who
had done much work. Mr. Rockwell at
this juncture thought it advisable to let
the subject of recompense stand over for
the time being.

Various other subjects came up in turn;
Robert Pyle emphasized thle value of
teaching the children to know plants and
he distributed a pamphlet now being is-
sued by the Penna. Nurserymen's Asso-
ciation on this particular subject.

J. Irwin of the Country Gentleman
made an entertaining speech on the values
of cooperation, pests and diseases, freight,
etc., as they affect the nurseryman. He
felt that it was an unwise policy to
haul goods thousands of miles when the
same might be grown near at hand. He
compared the present value of Corn with
that of canned Peaches from California
and he advocated the revival of home or-
chards. His address, interspersed with
humor, was greatly appreciated.

Prof. Fagen of the Penn. State Uni-
versity touched on various things, in-
cluding bugs and beetles which he had
studied years ago, but which now were
outside his consideration. The general
view of other speakers was that interstate
quarantines were of more serious import
than all the pests. One visiting speaker
who owned to being a stolid Englishman,
stated that the everlasting scare talk about
this, that and the other pest was a joke
to him. The only thing to do was to go
for them,<.not talk about them and the
Eastern nurserymen were wise in follow-
ing their line of action. Secretary Rock-
well, by means of maps, showed what a
relatively small area the Eastern associa-
tion covered compared with its vast out-
put of stock. Mr. Rockwell clearly be-
lieves in pictures in preference to words
and he has evidently spent much time in
preparing these various diagrams. The
meeting came to an end about 5.30, it
being generally admitted that the time
was well spent.

Necessities vs. Luxuries

By L. E. MANNING

As an average citizen you must eat.
You must sleep. You must have clothes.
Those are necessities.

Anyone can sell you food when you
are hungry and shelter when you are
without it; you don't need to be sold on
such things. What you lack in necessi-
ties you will buy on your own initiative.

Two hundred years ago soap was a lux-
ury. If you had soap to sell, you had
to sell both the idea of using it and the
article itself. Today most people are
ready to buy it without inducement. The
same thing was true of shoes in those
days; arjd the march of civilization has
made these also a necessity today.

Bring the idea right up to date. Twenty
years ago a motor car was for the very
rich, a luxury par excellence. But Mr.
Ford stepped in and today the modest
sum of $400 or so will provide you with
a brand new flivver, ready for the road.

Now let's draw conclusions. The old days
of expensive automobiles for the rich
made some money for the manufacturers;
quite a bit, in fact. But who has made
more money out of the automobile indus-
try than anyone else? Henry Ford.

The nursery industry today is where
the automobile business was 20 years ago;
it supplies primarily the wealthy client
with beauty — at a price.

Let the Henry Ford of our industry
arise and nurserymen will find themselves
constantly oversold on staple plants and
trees.

Of course, there has been extended in
this direction quite a bit of more or less
intelligent effort. There are too many
wideawake men in the nursery business
for it to have been otherwise. But there
has not yet been attempted a nationwide
movement for popularizing horticulture.

The Illinois nurserymen's "Plan to
Plant Another Tree" campaign has the
right idea, but so far it is more or less
a local effort. Other sections of the coun-
try have not taken it up — nor have they
taken up anything that resembles it. Why?
It is my belief that a study of the at-
tempt to develop the slogan "Trustworthy
Trees and Plants" will reveal the reason.
In. a word, the nurseryman went at it
the wrong way. They tried to popularize
the A. A. N. instead of the beauties of
Nature. I hardly think anyone will ques-
tion the proposition that the public can be
more easily interested in the grace of an
old Elm or the deep tone of a specimen
evergreen than in our most excellent
mother association.

This was finally realized last year and
Mr. Rockwell's publicity work has done
more good to the industry than will ever
be realized. It was a step in the right
direction.

But the next step? Keep in mind the
primary problem to make trees and
shrubs a necessity instead of a luxury.

The Green Leaf

In many ways horticultural products
are already recognized as necessities.
Windbreaks on storm swept farms are a
necessity; fruit, largely the product of
the nurseryman's efforts, is a necessity to
health; timber for the carpenter's use is
a necessity; shade trees in hot city streets
are practically necessities.

But the biggest thought of all is this:
Everything that moves, breathes or lives
on the face of the earth — including man
himself — owes its existence to the green
leaf. If today the entire horticultural
world were swept out of existence, animal
life as well would cease to be.

To take an instance: Here is a blade
of grass1. A cow eats it; man eats the
cow. Take away the grass and the cow
dies, leaving man without food. Fish
live on tiny vegetable particles and
plants floating in the sea. Insects either
live directly on the tissues and the nectar
of plants or else they devour smaller in-
sects which in turn live on the vegetable
world.

Now let us tie that thought up with the
nurserymen's products. Even as a total
loss of plants and trees would eventually
destroy life, so a partial loss; will im-
pair the functions of life and in many
ways make the struggle for existence
more difficult.

For example, did you ever notice how
keen and clear the air seems in the open
country after you have spent some time
in a large city? That is the work of the
green leaf, which lives to a large extent
on carbon dioxide gas, a gas which forms
the greater portion of the "waste air"
breathed out from the lungs. The more
trees there are in a city, the purer the
air.

And there will never be enough leaves
in a city to keep the air pure until every
householder plants trees and shrubs in his
back yard and on his lawn; until the sight
of a street presenting nothing but barren
brick and stone to the high heavens has
become a horror of the past.

Let the nurserymen of America take a
big view of their industry, and their
work will take on new meaning. In fact,
we almost suggest this as a slogan to be
published broadcast the country over:
"Every Living Thing on the Face of the
Earth Oives Its Existence to the Green,
Leaf."

Week at the Capital

By CLARENCE L. LINZ

Whether the present level of express
rates is too high, as claimed by shippers,
will be determined by the Interstate Com-
merce Commission as a result of hearings
which will be started Oct. 30. The in-
quiry will go deeply into the question of
express charges on all commodities in all
sections of the country, and will pro-
ceed along the line of the investigation of
freight rates made last Winter, which
resulted in a decided reduction in those
rates in July last.

It has been complained by shippers
using express service that express charges
are still at their high level, although
freight rates have been reduced approxi-
mately 10 per cent., and the same argu-
ments which resulted in the freight re-
duction can be applied to express rates.
The creation of a permanent, non-par-
tisan tariff court is provided for in a bill
which has been introduced in the House
of Representatives by Congressman An-
sorge of New York, which would divest
Congress of its tariff-making powers. Un-
der the terms of the measure Congress
Mould announce the principle or basis on
which the tariff should be computed, as
at present, but the power to hold hear-
ings and determine the facts, apply the
I principles and levy rates would be vested
! in the court. The members of the court
I would receive annual salaries of $12,500
each, and would be appointed for life.

"Under the proposed plan," said Repre-
sentative Ansorge, in discussing his bill,
''the power of Congress would be limited
to enacting a tariff law setting forth the
basis of the tariff — whether on a protec-
tive basis of difference in cost of produc-
; tion here and abroad, on the basis of rev-
'enue, or on such other basis as Congress
may determine. There the function of
Congress will cease. It will then be the
duty of the tariff court to applv that law
after hearing the facts, as anv equity
court might hear the facts and apply the
law in every case."

■ Due to the observance of Labor Day
the car loadings of revenue freight dur-
ing the week ended Sept. 9 showed a
decrease. Loadings of merchandise and
miscellaneous freight, which includes
manufactured products, totaled 501 773
cars, a decrease of 65,023 cars from the
loadings of the previous week, but an
increase of 48,080 cars over the corre-
sponding week last year. Total loadings
Oi revenue freight amounted to 832 744
cars which, while a decrease of 98,854
t01?oVie Previ0us week, was an increase
ot 83,192 cars over the loadings of the
corresponding week last year.

The Post Office Department has an-
nounced that, m accordance with regula-
tions of the Federal Horticultural Board,
L elery, green Beans in the pod, Beets with
tops. Spinach, Rhubarb, Oat and Rye
straw as such or when used as pack-
ing, cut flowers or entire plants of
Chrysanthemum, Aster, Cosmos, Zinnia,
ttollyhoek and cut flower or entire plants
ot Gladiolus and Dahlia, except the bulbs
thereof, without stem, may now be im-
ported from the Province of Ontario,
Canada, only if accompanied bv a certi-
ficate from the Canadian Department of
Agriculture. This step was deemed
necessary- by the Board on account of the
appearance of the Corn borer in On-
tario, and does not applv to other prov-
inces of Canada.

After having been in session for 245
days, exclusive of Sundays and holidays,
the second session of the sixtv-seveiith
Congress adjourned on Sept. 22, 'probablv
not to reconvene until some time in No-
vember. The session began on Dec. 5,
1921, and during the nine and one-half
months of the session 1249 bills and 107
joint resolutions were introduced in the
Senate and 3498 bills and 158 joint reso-
lutions were introduced in the House.

Judged either by the volume of the
business transacted or the highly im-
portant character of the problems' con-
sidered and passed upon, the second ses-
sion of the Congress may be properly
classed as among the most important in
American legislative history, according to
Representative Mondell of Wyoming, Re-
publican floor leader, in a speech in the
House of Representatives just prior to
adjournment. Of the large number of
bills introduced the Congress up to the

present time has enacted 497 separate
laws and the House considered and passed
249 bills, not all of which were acted
upon by the Senate before adjournment.

Despite the dislocation caused by the
coal and railroad labor difficulties, fig-
ures received by the Department of Com-
merce indicate that there was no signifi-
cant recession in business activity during
the month of August. While there was
a marked decline in the production of
iron and steel, undoubtedly largely due
to fuel shortage, other industries showed
decidedly increased activity. The real
progress which business has made this
year, the Department states in the survey
of business conditions just issued, can best
be appreciated by comparing present lev-
els with those of a year ago. In almost
every instance there is a significant in-
crease which in many cases amounts to
100 per cent or more.

Salesmen and others in the florist in-
dustry who are on the road a great deal
will be interested in the decision rendered
on Sept. 22 by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, dismissing the complaint of
the United Commercial Travelers of
America against the Pullman Co.'s rate
increase of 20 per cent which became ef-
fective May 1, 1920. The traveling men
assailed the rates as unreasonable and
excessive and asked that the increase be
repealed. Lengthy hearings were held
by the Commission, and the operating ex-
penses and revenues, repairs and claims
against the Government and wages of the
Pullman Co. were fully investigated. It
was shown that while traffic increased
steadily through 1920 up to September,
in that month a decrease of 5.95 per
cent was reported and further decreases
were recorded steadily until May, 1921.
This falling off in travel, it was pointed
out, was due in part to general business
depression and in part to the surcharge
effective August 26, 1920, which, while
collected by the Pullman Co., accrued to
the railroads.

It was contended by the traveling men
that a rate reduction would stimulate
travel in Pullman cars to such an extent
as to increase rather than diminish the
company's revenues, but this contention
was held by the Commission to be "too
speculative to be accepted as a basis for
condemning the rates," and it was held
that the present costs of labor, materials,
etc.,. did not warrant the repeal of the
increase.

More Help for Farmers

A bill authorizing the Secretary of
Agriculture to make loans to farmers for
the purpose of procuring seed for the 1923
crop has just been introduced in the
Senate by Senator Harreld of Oklahoma.
It carries an appropriation of $500,000,
and provides for loans for the purchase
of Wheat, Oats, Barley and Flaxseed tor-
seed purposes, and when necessary for the
procuring of such seed and its sale to
farmers. No such loan shall exceed $300,
and all are made subject to terms pre-
scribed by the Secretary, including a
promise by the farmer to use the seed
only for the production of grain. A first
lien on the crop to be produced from
the seed thus obtained is deemed suffi-
cient security.

Baltimore, Md.

The Market

Sept. 26. — There was a big spurt on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week
and pretty much all the available good stock
was sold for the celebration of the Jewish
New Year. The market was active and
prices were very fair for this time of year.
Roses, Gladioli and Dahlias had a heavy sale
and lots of short end stock was sold to an
advantage. This week continues the im-
provement and the market is growing
stronger each day. The price on top grade
Roses is about 15c. Some short-stemmed
stock brings much less. White Roses are
reported scarce. Some Carnations are com-
ing in and run from 2c. to 4c. Gladioli ar-
rivals are decreasing.

Lilies are scarce this week and the price
has advanced to S3 per doz. Chrysanthe-
mums are still shy, only a few Golden Glow
being offered. Dahlia arrivals have been
most satisfactory and have been selling up,
especially the fancy stock. We learn that
the top price is 86 per 100. Cattleyas are
coming in more heavily; last week they were
very scarce. Asters aie almost over but there
is plenty of Hydrangea paniculata, Cosmos,
Zinnias and Chinese Woolflowers. Local
Asparagus sprays are becoming more plenti-
ful. Laurel, Hardy ferns and other green
goods are in abundance.

News Notes

The Jewish New Year and the feast
of Rosh Hashanah were celebrated on Friday
and Saturday and judging from all reports
the stores and wholesale men were quite busy.
This is fast being recognized as one of the
real floral events in our business calendar and
this year many of the Baltimore florists were
taxed to the utmost to make deliveries.
Fancy high grade Dahlias and other fancy
stock were in good demand and Saturday
night every wholesale house in town was
clean of flowers.

Mrs. James L. Towner returned recently
from an extended vacation spent in Virginia.

_ Last week the shipment and sale of 34,000
high grade Dahlia blooms from R. Vincent
Jr. and Sons Co. was the event in Dahlia
circles. The storemen were enthusiastic
oyer this fancy stock; Wm. F. Ekas who is
distributing for the Vincents, says it was of
the finest quality and sold up clean.

J. J. Goudy of Henry A. Dreer was a
visitor last week.

Geo. A. Eberle, our well known East
Baltimore florist, has started improvements
and alterations on his store on Fleet St.
When these are completed he will have a full
plate glass show front on the corner with a
floor space of 28ft. by 37ft.

Wm. E. Babikow & Sons have finished
planting out 40,000 Pansy plants for next
Spring sales. About 80,000 seedlings were
grown this season, many being disposed oi
locally.

Mrs. Joseph S. Merritt, who has been very
ill at the Woman's Hospital for the past three
weeks, is now at home and improving every
day.

Our apologies to Robert W. Johnston, who
was nominated for the presidency of the
Florists Club of Baltimore at its last meeting.
In our report of the proceedings published in
"The Exchange" of Sept. 16 issue we were in
error.

W. E. McKissick opened up for business
on Monday morning under the most favor-
able conditions. He was the recipient of
many congratulatory letters and telegrams
and a host of local buyers stopped in to ex-
tend best wishes and to renew business
relations.

Robert L. Graham is cutting from a fancy
lot of Golden Glow Chrysanthemum plants.

The General Committee held its weekly
meeting at Vice-President Feast's new store
on Tuesday afternoon with a full attendance.
The final arrangements and practically all
the detail work for the big F. T. D. meeting
is finished. The committee men and women
are full of earnest enthusiasm and are ready
to receive the visiting members and friends
and extend the courtesies of Old Baltimore.
If you cannot make up your mind to come
until the last whistle blows, don't wait to
change your clothes. Come just as you are.
Only make the train, that's all.

Cattleyas have been very scarce about
town for several weeks and the first big batch
of blooms we have seen this season was at
W. E. McKissick's on Tuesday. Mac tells
us he will be receiving regular consignments
from now on. R. H.

Pittsburgh, Pa.

It looks as though the new season had
opened up in earnest, as business recent-
ly has been good ; in fact, it seemed to
change overnight and the demand kept
increasing all week until by Saturday
night the wholesale houses were practi-
cally cleaned out of everything salable.
I do not mean that stock was scarce or
that fancy prices were obtained, for the
receipts of stock for the week were heavy,
but the demand was such that it took
everything at fair prices and nothing had
to be sacrificed. Thus the grower struck
a better average than he has received for
months. It was possible to get a price
for even the poorer grades of stock. The
only cloud to be seen now is the price
of coal, and if they get that settled it
looks like a big season ahead, for no mat-
ter whom you talk to or what business
they are in, they all talk and act good
times and big business. When you find
people optimistic to such an extent, it
cannot be otherwise.

The supply of Roses is increasing and
the quality is improving with the cooler
weather. Columbia seems to be the best
and has the call at present. Other va-
rieties include Premier, Mine. Butterfly,
Ophelia, Sunburst, and American Legion.
White Roses have been scarce with not
nearly enough to supply the demand.

Carnations are improving and will
soon take their rightful place on the
wholesaler's list again. Lilies have been
scarce with a big demand for them.

Asters are still arriving in quantity,
and while some of them are good, most
of them show the effect of the dry
weather, and it looks as though their
season was nearly over.

Gladioli still continue to be a factor,
and no doubt will continue to until we
have a frost, as some of the growers have
late plantings.

Dahlias now dominate the market and
the New Jersey shipments were never
better ; the result is that they clean up
daily.

'Mums are arriving in small quantities,
but the quality is nothing to brag about.

The supply of Valley and orchids has
fallen away short of the demand.

Delphinium and Tritoma complete the
list ; both of these sell readily.

This year's Dahlia show at Sewickley
promises to be the largest and best ever
held in this section ; those in charge of
the advertising deserve much credit, as
no matter where you go you find vases
of Dahlias looking at you with a card
advertising the show. Not only the flo-
rists' windows are displaying these vases
of Dahlias, but the jewelers, candy shops,
and. in fact, most every line of business
is doing it. This not only calls attention
to the show but also is a big boost for the
florist business in general.

The Florists and Gardeners Club will
hold its monthly meeting Tuesday even-
ing. Oct. 3. in Carnegie Hall, North Side.
Dahlias will be the subject, with a spe-
cial display. Lunch will be served and
a big turnout is looked for.

The McCallum Co. reports an unusu-
ally heavy volume of sales in baskets and
has had to triple its force of basket weav-
ers within the past month. Two new
weavers who received their experience in
Czecho-Slovakia have just reported for
duty. E. C. Tipton.

Buffalo, N. Y.

The season is quite busy at present.
Chrysanthemums are coming in. Dahlias
of many beautiful varieties are gorgeous
in colors. Dahlias, Asters and other gar-
den flowers are being used to wonderful
advantage in wedding decorations.

Roses are coming in plentifully, Car-
nations are scarce; in fact, we have but
a few bunches a day. Lily of the Valley
is plentiful and it is being used in the
more gorgeous wedding bouquets.

News Notes

Miss Ruth Barry of Palmer's Del-
aware ave. store is opening a florist shop
on Forest & Elmwood ave. Monday, Oct.

General Notes

Sept. 24. — The past week has been
rather quiet, but according to reports,
prospects are looking bright.

The united Sunday schools of all the
Churches held a pretty parade last Sun-
day, Sept. 17. in which several floats, all
decorated with flowers, participated. One
small airplane, in which sat a small boy
as pilot, and drawn by eight little girls,
won the admiration and much applause
from the public. The airplane was pret-
tily decorated with Asters.

Mr. and Mrs. H. N. Hoffman have re-
turned from Wellesley, Mass. Their daugh-
ter, Ruth Hoffman, has entered Wellesley
College.

Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Woeppell of Corn-
ing, N. Y., was in Elmira last week, and
reported business very satisfactory for
this time of the year. R. K.

Auburn, N. Y.

Outdoor stock in this vicinity will not
be of much account from now on. Florists
generally are looking forward to Carna-
tions and Chrysanthemums in quantity
with which to vary their offerings.

In spite of an increase in the demand
for cut flowers, the almost total absence of
funeral work made the past week the dull-
est of the whole Summer.

Gladioli have disappeared; Asters are
small and weak and, on account of their
being so common, have lost public favor.
Roses are in demand; there is some call
for Carnations, and as well for Chrysan-
themums, which will be in flower here in
about two weeks.

The growers are bringing in and pot-
ting up their field grown Vincas, Dra-
camas, Cherries, etc., several light frosts
having hastened this work.

Retail Notes

Sept. 23. — Business is going along
very satisfactory ; no particular boom
but with sufficient of social events to
keep up a rosy outlook. The dry weather
is having its effect on the supply of flow-
ers, and it is almost impossible to get
good flowers locally ; greenhouse stock is
anything but prime on account of the
extreme heat.

B. F. Barr is spending much of his
time in the store until he can locate a
good man. I want to take my hat off
to Mr. Barr as a salesman. For 20 min-
utes he made up combination after com-
bination for a spray of flowers, every-
one receiving a shake of the head from
a critical customer until he finally did
get an assortment that met her approval.
During all of this time, no one could have
detected the least bit of weariness or
disgust on Mr. Barr's face, and he thor-
oughly demonstrated his own teaching of
service to the customer. Of course in
this particular instance, the customer
was a good looker with handsome eyes
and that may have helped some.

Growers Activities

In a hunt to get the best sand pos-
sible for my new propagating houses, I
made a trip to W. B. Girvin's plant at
Leola ; it certainly looked good all the
way through, Roses especially fine ; sev-
eral houses of ferns are growing into
money, a house of Asparagus plumosus
is in excellent shape for cutting and the
immense Carnation houses producing
some good flowers especially of the va-
riety Lassie. These are not large but
they have the color and the keeping quali-
ties. In ' whites, at the present time,
Matchless supasses Thomas Joy, but it
is too early to make final judgment.
John Shoenberger, the manager, told me
he never knew of the demand for cut
flowers at this time of year, to exceed
that of the past few weeks ; they are cut-
ting fairly heavy but run short every
day.

A Flower Show

Mrs. A. M. Herr, head of the hor-
ticultural department of the Iris Club,
gave a Fall flower show open to the pub-
lic free of charge and staged an ama-
teur show that fell very little short of
the professional shows. There were staged
the full range of Summer and Fall flow-
ers with arrangement counting strong in
the awarding of the ribbons, this adding
much to the beauty of the show. The
Hamilton Watch Factory sent some good
stock from their lawns surrounding the
shop, which while it was semi-profes-
sional was not commercial and therefore
classed as amateur. H. K. Schaefer, of
Second St., sent a choice collection of
Dahlias as a professional exhibit not
for competition, and the B. F. Barr
Store, Miss Carrie Steckman and Mrs.
Geo. Goldbach, all sent handsome basket
arrangements to help make the show a
success, and a success it certainly was.

H. C. Neubrand, representing Roman
J. Irwin, made his Fall trip through
Lancaster. Asking a fellow traveler how
business was he was told to look at his
own order book and this proved that his
own business was not bad.

Lancaster County Florists Ass'n

Just a little southeast of Lancas-
ter is a Watermelon patch on which a
Summer sun shone all day Thursday,
Sept. 21. Just a little west of the
Melon patch is a beautiful old colonial
mansion, the home of Ira Landis, and
here is where we met for our meeting.
Mr. Landis is a Gladiolus king in this
section, he plants them by the acre.
These, of course, were over excepting a
few stragglers. In reporting on the sea-
son, he says that it will figure up fairly
good, in spite of the fact that at the
height of the season, the glut was so bad
that he cut out a number of shipments.

A good big stretch of Delphinium
Belladonna had done its bit toward add-
ing to Mr. Landis's bank account and a
patch of Dahlias were right in their
prime ; both of these are sold to the local
stores as well as some other outdoor
stock grown in smaller quantities. The
one small greenhouse on the place will
be filled with Freesia bulbs which were
expected every day. The farm itself con-
sists of some SS acres of real Lancaster
County soil and, in addition to the floral
end, it supports a big herd of dairy cat-
tle.

About 6.30 p.m. the clan began to
gather in and by 7.30 there was a fairly
good representation of the club on hand,
but some of the regulars were missing
and, what they missed was a caution.
The first order of proceedings was an ad-
journment to the yard, where under elec-
tric lights, we ate Watermelon as deli-
cious as ever were grown, and until we
could not eat any more. J. Wade Galey,
Chas. B. Herr and Phares Hostetter
tried to eat all Mr. Landis had, but as
fast as the tables were cleared just so
fast Mr. Landis filled them up with
fresh cut stock, and so the task of fi-
nally cleaning them up, was voted too
big a proposition.

After the Watermelon feast, we ad-
journed to the house and, by the way, it
is some house. Immense big rooms with
open fire places all over the house. Built
for hospitality and presided over by Mrs.
Landis and her daughters in such a man-
ner that one thinks they are back in the
old colonial days when hospitality meant
something.

At 9 p.m. President Rohrer called the
meeting to order and, aside from the local
business, a trip to the Vincent Dahlia
Show to be made Thursday, Oct. 5, was
ordered with Elmer Weaver, A. K. Roh-
rer, J. Wade Galey and Albert M. Herr
to complete arrangements.

Robert Smallwood gave an account of
the trip to Michell's Field Day. Lancas-
ter County had seven representatives
who went by machine to Philadelphia
and then by the Michell Special train out
to the trial grounds where they had a
very enjoyable time, socially and educa-
tionally.

H. K. Rohrer gave a report of his trip
through Canada with some of the side
incidents that happened along the way.
Albert M. Herr gave an account of the
Kansas City convention extolling it and
Kansas City and reminding the club that
the next convention was Hartford, Conn.,
just across the country from Lancaster
and that we ought to be well represented
at that meeting next Summer.

Chas. B. Herr reported for his com-
mittee on club colors that they had agreed
on orange and brown. They had a very
fine automobile pennant made up to show
the club and it looked good enough to be
adopted, so in future, when you see a
Pierce- Arrow gliding along the highway
with an orange and brown pennant, in-
scribed Lancaster Co. Florists Club, you
will know it is us.

The grading of cut flowers as outlined
by the National Flower Growers Asso-
ciation was read and approved.

Elmer Weaver invited the club to have
the next meeting at his place and made
a motion that Mr. and Mrs. Landis be
given a rising vote of thanks for the de-
lightful evening. It goes without saying
that this was unanimously carried.

Did we adjourn? Tes as a business
meeting, to cards, music and a good so-
cial time until 11.30.

Tarrytown (N. Y.) Hort. Society

Successful Dahlia Exhibition

The first Dahlia exhibition of the Tar-
rytown Horticultural Society (in which
were included displays of Gladioli, fruits,
vegetables, etc., was held in the Y. M. C.
A. Building Friday afternoon and even-
ing, Sept. 22, primarily for the benefit of
the Tarrytown Hospital. The quality of
the exhibition was excellent and a pleas-
ant surprise to all who attended. Es-
pecially notable was a fine vase of twelve
blooms of Decorative Dahlias, exhibited
by Richard C. Colt of Garrison, N. Y.,
which was awarded not only first prize in
Class 1, but also a Cultural Certificate.

Other leading exhibitors were Dr. Jo-
seph A. Blake, Mrs. Stanley McCormick,
Mrs. Henry Ollesheimer, W. H. Magee,
Mrs. J. S. Halle, Hugh Hill, William
Graham, Mrs. R. C. Heather, Frederick
P. King, Dr. C. C. Brace, Thomas Luke
and others. There were also fine ex-
hibits by the New Rochelle and Searsdale
Garden Clubs. J. H. Troy of New Ro-
chelle, landscape architect and nursery-
man was awarded honorable mention for
his exhibition of seedling Dahlias, as were
the Detmer Nurseries for a collection of
herbaceous perennials.

At the close of the exhibition the flow-
ers were sold for the benefit of the hos-
pital and a very nice sum was realized.
_ The interest manifested in this exhibi-
tion will undoubtedly induce the Society
to hold a Dahlia exhibition every year.

The judges were George Middleton, Tar-
ry town; Howard Nichols, Glen View,
Yonkers, and Charles Ruthven, Mount
Kisco.

The National Association of Gardeners'
Silver Medal to a member winning the
highest number of points was awarded to
Thomas Wilson. The John Scheepers
prize offered to the person, not a mem-
ber of the N. A. G. winning the highest
number of points went to John Mclntyre.

Newport, R. I.

Newport Horticultural Society

A regular meeting was held Sept. 26
with a good attendance of members present.

The silver loving cup awarded to the
Society by the Newport Chamber of Com-
merce for the float most typical of Newport
in the parade recently held, was presented
to the Society by Powell Cozzens of the
Chamber of Commerce Entertainment, com-
mittee in words of high praise, President
Andrew Dorward making a suitable response.
The cup is of handsome design and will long
be treasured by the Society among its heir-
looms.

On exhibition were some well grown
Dahlia blooms by James Robertson. The
best was Insulinde, a decorative of mam-
moth size, color a rich Autumn tint, stems
all that could be desired; silver medal
awarded. Fair Maid, a silvery pink decora-
tive, a seedling of 1921, of medium size and
good stem; certificate of merit.

This latter Mr. Robertson considers the
best of all he has raised.

Californian Enchantress, a giant Cactus,
color reminds one of the Carnation of that
name; a weak neck is against it; cultural
certificate.

Mrs. Richards, Dahlia specialist of Tiver-
ton, R. I., was elected to associate member-
ship.

Messrs. Peter Dewar and Frank Murry
of the R. and J. Farquhar Co., Boston, were
present; the former, when called on, made
some interesting remarks.

Newport News Notes

W. J. Curry, manager at Wadley and
Smythe's, was married at St. Mary's Church
by the Rev. Fr. W. Baggott, Sept. 20, to
Ann Sullivan, daughter of ex-building in-
spector Mortimer D. Sullivan. After the
honeymoon they will make their home in
New York for the Winter. Both parties
were popular here and their many friends
wish them much happiness.

Wadley and Smythe's Casino store is
closed for the season. A. MacL.

Bangor, Me.

A series of frosts have damaged some
crops, but as yet, Gladioli, Dahlias, As-
ters and a few other varieties of flowers
grown for cutting are available. Demand
for cut flowers is increasing, the home
gardens being on their last legs, and local
florists are getting encouraging trade.

Interest has become strong for hardy
plants and bulbs for Fall planting. Local
dealers are on the anxious seat, their sup-
ply of bulbs being very slow in arriving
from the ports of entry.

B. B. Dunning & Co., seed merchants,
and G. S. Seavey & Son, florists, both
dealers in bulbs, have received notice of
the shipment of bulbs from Holland, but
to date have not received their stock.
Many orders are being booked for deliv-
ery. Although everyone here says that
money is going to be scarce this Fall and
business dull, it is evident that the flower
buying public is not going to be cheated
out of cut Tulips for Memorial Day next
Spring as they were this past year.

The value of Darwin Tulips is being
realized by a great many people and
many orders for them in quantity are
being placed with bulb dealers for the
production of their flowers with a view
to making a little extra money in the
Spring and at the same time relieving
the shortage usually experienced at that
season.

Allen, Florist, reports good business.
He has his houses well stocked with Car-
nations, Cyclamen, ferns and other potted
plants.

L. P. Cates, florist, of East Vassal-
boro, was in town Friday, Sept. 22. He
brought a stock of plants for Allen, Flo-
rist, and while here called on the trade.

Frank Buckingham and Hagor Karr of
Hitchings & Co., Elizabeth, N. J., are in-
stalling the heating plant in the new
Hitchings house being erected by G. S.
Seavey & Son.

Brockway, Florist of Dover-Foxcroft,
and family were in Bangor Saturday.

A. E. Stantial, Belfast, Maine, came to
this city on business Saturday. He is ex-
pecting his King greenhouse in the very
near future.

Local Business Picking Up Strongly

The florist business in this part of
the State is picking up rapidly and many
newcomers are being registered. Al-
though but little greenhouse build-
ing on a large scale is being recorded
numerous small houses are being built this
Fall. The public is responding generous-
ly and gradually getting into line and
"Saying it with Flowers."

We have had no rain for nearly two
weeks and the gardens are getting into
fine shape for Fall planting of bulbs,
nursery stock, etc. During August it
looked as if it would be impossible to at-
tempt extensive planting because of the
heavy rains. We trust that conditions
will remain unchanged for some time to
come, else dealers in hardy stock will ex-
perience a loss of good Fall business,
there being only about 40 days left before
real cold weather sets in. The next 20
days will be the best selling days in this
line. H. E. S.

Dahlias at White Marsh, Md.

A visit to R. Vincent, Jr. & Sons Co.,
White Marsh, Md., was paid on Friday,
Sept. 15, by County Commissioner Geo.
A. Gude, Tom Gude, Alexander Gude,
Judge Sinclair, Rent Commissioner,
Washington, D. C, and the writer. The
morning was most propitious for a delight-
ful ride of 61 miles, which was easily
covered in less than two hours. On ar-
riving at the nursery we found Richard
Vincent, Jr., with his sleeves rolled up,
hard at work in the midst of his men.
After a trip through the Dahlia fields,
which was made in automobiles, as the
distance is too great to walk, we rounded
up in the office where refreshments were
served. After an hour's inspection of the
large greenhouse plant we were ushered
into the spacious dining room on the Vin-
cent plantation, where a splendid dinner
was served and to which all present did
full justice.

After dinner a special examination was
made of the prize Dahlias which were
easily the finest in the United States it
has ever been our pleasure to look over.
A notable feature was some ten acres of
the Patrick O'Mara Dahlia, each vying
with the other in that it was more beau-
tiful. Another notable feature was the
complete absence of any Dahlia disease
throughout the entire length and breadth
of the plantings. After further refresh-
ments in the office we hied for home and
all voted they had had a splendid and
profitable day's outing. Wll. F. Gtjde.

International Show at Glasgow

The great international show held in
Glasgow, Scotland, Aug. 30 to Sept. 3
was a huge success. The exhibits were the
finest ever seen in the city and the visitors
were more than numerous. There were
over 3000 competitive entries besides trade
exhibits. The R. H. S. sent a deputation,
including its president, and seemingly
most of the best English and Irish firms
crossed the border to show the braw
Scots how to do things. The Scots, how-
ever, are old hands at exhibiting and one
firm, Dobbie & Co., filled a space 200ft.x
6ft. with a succession of groups made up
of Snapdragons, Violets, Roses, Fuchsias,
Begonias, Dahlias, Marigolds and Pota-
toes. Dobbie's Potatoes are a byword
at exhibitions, but on this occasion they
surpassed themselves.

Sutton & Sons filled 60ft. run, while
another important exhibit was that of
Leighton, the Glasgow florist. He was
one of the first British florists to join the
F. T. D. and he made much of the F. T.
D. in his exhibit, which embodied tele-
graph wires, etc., in the regular style,
even to the Western Union lamp. It was
Leighton who sent the Heather horse shoe
for luck to the last F. T. D. convention.

The Irish Rose firms haven't let war
and other troubles best them; they
crossed the sea and just about cleaned
up all the leading prizes.

Altogether it was a great show, sur-
passing any held in Great Britain this
season, excepting the Chelsea Spring Show.

Licensed Fireman

If I use oil to fire my boilers, must I
have a licensed fireman? — B. A., New
York.

— No license is required when the boil-
ers are run under less than teu pounds
of steam, regardless as to what material
is used to heat boilers.

The Rose Midge

With reference to a recent query, the
Rose midge, Neocerata rhodophaga, is a

. serious pest, although not fortunately so
common as the Chrysanthemum midge.
Cyanide is the accepted remedy, I under-
stand, and I would like to know what
are the latest methods of using it against
this pest. At present, I am using it
nightly at 1 a.m. as for Chrysanthe-
mums ; this seems to be controlling the
midge although perhaps not the best
time of the year according to authorities.
— G. H., N. Y.

— [This appears to be an instance of

: out of sigbt out of mind. The Rose
midge is so little heard of these days,
that we forget all about it. Judging by

. the treatment required for Chrysanthe-
mum midge, our correspondent is acting
wisely in fumigating at night. Perhaps
some other readers have had recent ex-
perience with the Rose midge and will
record their experience. — Ed.]

Mealy Bug on 'Mums

We have been troubled for two years
with mealy bugs, especially on our
Chrysanthemums and every batch of new
plants we have bought in the Spring
gives us more mealy bugs to contend
with.

All through the Summer we had them
pretty well cleaned out ; we painted all
the benches with kerosene and then
whitewashed them, the same being done
all over the house on posts and supports
before we planted our new stock. As
soon as the plants had a good start we
sprayed them several times with ar-
senate of lead and regularly with nico-
tine ; we also watched the plants very
closely and whenever we found a plant
or leaf infested we destroyed them.

Right now the plants are in their
prime and are budding, the finest Chrys-
anthemums we ever had, but we are un-
able to keep on spraying now with the
hose on account of the cooler weather,
and the mealy bugs are getting thick.
Nicotine used in a strong solution, also
Drummond's White Fly Liquid, will not
touch them.

All our plants are now infested, and
we wonder if cyanide will destroy them.

How much would we have to use in a
house, 100x35, with one leanto on the
north and one on the south with open
walls and at what intervals? — N. P.,
Neb.

— You certainly must have a tough lot
of mealy bugs if nicotine sulphate one
in 750 won't keep them in cheek. If all
you grow yourself and all you buy, carry
this bug as a regular thing, your section
must be specially favorable for the pest.
Cyaniding is undoubtedly the best
method of fighting this bug. According
to tests, 2% oz. to 5 oz. of cyanides to
every 1000 cu. ft will, in one hour, kill
mealy bug on Camellias, but this would
probably be too strong for Chrysanthe-
mums, although Maidenhair fern is un-
affected. We would reduce it heavily, say
% oz. cyanide to the 1000 cu. ft., or ex-
periment with plants to see how much
they will stand. Half an ounce is used
for aphis, but as mealy bug is persistent,
you would probably find it necessary to
fumigate several times inside a month
to get them all. Obtain the best sodium
cyanide ; this is less injurious than potas-
sium and use carefully on the lines rec-
ommended by scientists. Don't forget
cyanide is deadly poison, both solid or in
gas form. Make the house as tight as
possible ; have everywhere dry and choose
a still evening after dusk.

You can get the cubic capacity of your
house by multiplying the length by the
breadth and then by the height, making
allowances for the shape of the roof.
We are not quite sure whether your
house is an ordinary span or a span with
additional leantos.

We are inclined to think that this week's bouquet
for the most chuckle provoking comment should go
to our Atlanta (Ga.) correspondent, who says that
the statement that the roads through the Tennessee
mountains are very dark at night is contrary to his
former belief that there was always plenty of moon-
shine to be found there.

When the 2S-hour air mail service between New
York and San Francisco is brought about, business
men generally will be vastly accommodated and Cali-
fornia will be brought very close indeed to New York.
This is a possibility by next Spring, according to Col.
Paul Henderson, Chief of the Air Mail Service, and
a consummation greatly to be desired.

We have gotten used to Mayor Hylan of New York
saying, more or less explicitly, that he is the best
mayor the city ever had ; and it is all in the game
when the manager of a baseball team or a pugilist
extols his protegee as the peer of all others in the
field. But when a contemporary uses up one-third
of its editorial page telling its readers what a splen-
did paper it is. we almost blush for the lost modesty
of the journalistic field.

At the meeting of the board of directors held in
Kansas City, on the first day of the convention, manv
subjects of interest were discussed, and action was
taken in connection with matters requiring it

Correspondence in regard to the society euterin"
into membership relations with the Federation Horti-
cole Professionnelle Internationale, whose last meeting
or conference, was held at The Hague, was read, and
on motion of J. F. Ammann it was directed that a
committee of three be appointed to investigate and
report at the next annual meeting of the board.

The matter of contributing toward the building
fund of the Washington home for American business
according to plans projected by the Chamber of
C ommerce of the United States, was discussed at some
length, and on motion of Thos. Roland the board de-
cided that $200. the amount expected of the society
should be appropriated.

The movement supported by the Garden Club of
America to conserve the native trees, shrubs and
plants of the country was favored by the board and
a motion by Mr. Roland that the society cooperate
in every reasonable way with the movement insofar
as it had to do with the preservation of wild plants
and flowers, was carried.

The matter of express rates on florists' products
entailed some discussion, which resulted, on motion
of George Asmus, in a direction that a committee of
five be appointed to urge a reduction of the rates at
present in force.

Some discussion resulted from the reading of a
letter from Henry A. Siebrecht, Pasadena Calif rec-
ommending a list of flowers which should be known
as "birthday flowers" and also suggesting the stand-
ardization of a set of rules to govern the judgin-
at exhibitions, of table decorations, bridal bouquets'
baskets and vases of flowers, also a gradin<* table
for Roses for universal use by growers and retailers
On motion of Thomas Joy. the matter of birthday
flowers was ordered referred to the Florists Tele-
graph Association, and that of grading to the Ameri-
can Rose Society.

The work at Sing Sing, it appears, is as yet on '
limited scale and is the result of the personal effort
of Charles F. Chapin, a former newspaper editor wh
is serving a life sentence. Formerly he worked on th
prison newspaper, but when its publication was di-
eontinued for lack of funds, the erstwhile edito
turned to horticulture, and has been diligently study
mg it for some time. He has set out a number o
small trees west of the ancient stone cell block say
the New York Times, and is to plant several more
He is also laying out flower beds for next Sprin;
planting, is sowing lawn grass seed wherever possible
and is also growing flowers in the prison greenhouse*
As he is apparently working alone and entirely on hi<
own initiative, here would seem to be a splendid op
portumty for the inauguration of the policy of co
operation to which the S. A. F. and O. H. has more
or less officially pledged itself.

Help Your F. T. D. Fellow Members

Two hundred and fifty validated certificates must
be in evidence at Baltimore bv Wednesday Oct 11
if F. T D. members are to obtain the benefit of a one-
half return fare home. For that reason it is urged
that members who have to pay as low as 67c. or over
for their one-way tickets to Baltimore, call for a cer-
tificate, when purchasing their going ticket, not so
much for their individual benefit but for the purpose
of swelling the number of validated tickets and help-
ing out those from a distance who will thus secure
the benefit of the validated tickets.

Do not forget the convention dates, Oct 10 to 12
and do not forget to ask for the reduced fare certifi-
cates at the time your purchase your ticket. If your
railroad agent cannot give you the certificates, 'then
travel to the nearest point where a certificate can be
obtained ; your agent will post you as to the Where

Antoine Wintzer's Golden Wedding

A Wonderful Day and a Wonderful Show

It's queer how many ways there are of looking at
the same subject. F'rinst, one of our nursery articles
this week points out the gradually changed status of
soap from a luxury to an essential. Yet our Cincin-
nati correspondent remarks that in his vicinity in
connection with the coal shortage, the Government
has listed soap factories among the non-essentipl
industries! Perhaps the average small boy and tne
typical hobo (if such exists) will agree with this
classification; as for us, we confess to a certain de-
gree of longing for the luxurious^if that's what
soap is.

Prompt delivery of The Exchange to its subscrib-
ers is a necessity, and "no stone is left unturned" in
our efforts to effect this.

All copies are deposited in the mails on Thursday
night each week and from this you can easily deter-
mine whether your copy is being unnecessarily de-
layed by adding the required mailing time for deliv-
ery from New York.

In the event of unreasonable or continuous delays
please advise us with fullest particulars, giving the

Antoine Wintzer is generally well known, by nam!
at least, for his name is intimately associated with
t-annas. Many who know him, however, would
scarcely believe that he had reached an age when
he could celebrate 50 years of married life, but those
who have tramped the Canna fields at West Grove,
Pa., with Antoine Wmtzer, vice-president of the
goer 6S °°" W0Uld certalnly agree he is some

Actually, however, Antoine Wintzer was born in
Mulhauseii France, in 1847. He came to America
as a small boy. He spent his early days in New Jer-
sey and it was at Trenton, Sept. IS. 1S72 that he

nTwfvenSrl 0i.his choice bein» a native of
iSld\Pa- They miSrated to West Grove, Pa in
lSbb where at first, Roses were his chief interest.
Air. Wintzer is a horn propagator, and if others had
been like him in those early days, there would have
been no need to import much stock. As it was, plenty
of the nursery lines he propagated found their way
to the fire, despite their real value

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of their wedding
Mr. and Mrs. Wintzer had all their friends ancl rela*
tzyes visiting. All their children are living and they,
with the twenty representing the third generation,
Zl°nf Z Sp0t together with a multitude of friends
some of whom came long distances

Happily, too, the period of the celebration coincided
with the time when Mr. Wintzer's other great family,
the Cannas were at their best and to enable the visi-
tors to realize what Antoine Wintzer had done in the
way of developing this great bedding plant, Conard &
Jones Co. arranged a display of cut blooms.
Writing of thrs display, Robt. Pyle says ■
"There were on exhibition at the time of Antoine
Wmtzer s golden wedding, no less than 77 of hi.
Canna children, all of which are in commerce today
and which I think are recognized as constituting a
very important section of all the Cannas in commerce

" Stunt " or Mosaic Disease of Dahlias

Editor The Florists Exchange:

The writer of this article has been much worried
over a prevalent disease of the Dahlia, known to
some as the "stunt" or mossaic. No one appears to
know when said disease originated or how long it
has been in existence. Generally, the first appearance
of a disease is not noticed but when, under certain
conditions, -it becomes serious, remedies and protec-
tion are sought.

This disease has been known to our scientists for
some years but, so far, they have failed to check same.
There have been a number of suggestions offered in
regard to its propagation, progress, and develop-
ment ; one is that certain weather conditions encour-
age this disease, especially dry, hot weather. Another
is that it is carried by insects. One of our learned
professors states that he believes it is carried from
plant to plant by the leaf hopper, also that the white
fly has considerable to do with it. But no investiga-
tions in this line have been carried out sufficiently
to decide the cause.

Soil and other conditions may be the reason for its
spreading, as there are places where it is more pre-
dominant than others. I have seen certain stock that
was, in my opinion, practically worthless, and here
the entire output ought, to be destroyed, as possibly,
in every ten there would be but one plant that showed
freedom from disease. Why that one escaped when
the others did not is a puzzle, and as to whether that
plant, when propagated next Spring would produce
healthy plants is a problem that has to be solved.

Some plantations show little signs of this disease.
The worst are where intensive growing and cultiva-
tion has been practised through forcing for larger
and finer flowers. These places have to be watched
and conditions noted.

That the disease can be eradicated there is no
doubt in the writer's mind, but it will require an
honest courage on the part of some growers to dig
certain varieties out, root and branch, and burn or
destroy same. Every strain has been put to work
breeding a larger and more wondrous flower, and to
get this they have been overfed, and an unnatural
growth has been obtained, sometimes to the detriment
of one necessary thing to plant life, that is, good
healthy foliage. This is plainly demonstrated by some
of the older types that are practically immune from
disease.

Several remedies have been tried but without much
success. Our scientists are working on several new
theories and the possibility is that some simple remedy
may be found, or that some system of propagation
adopted by which normal conditions will be reached.
This can only be accomplished by the cooperation
and the willingness of those finding disease among
their plants, no matter of what value the market, to
destroy same. Care in purchasing would help, or
perhaps a State certificate of freedom from disease
could be obtained after inspection. This might not be
an entire guarantee because, as before mentioned, soil,
weather, or other conditions might bring the disease
even among plants of good stock, but due precautions
should be taken to prevent parties from sending out
roots from stock so badly infected as to be apt to
cause the disease to spread to other sections not
affected 'so far.

Something has to be done to save those growers
who have no infected stock and who are willing to
make any sacrifice to keep same. If State authorities
cannot inspect and give a certificate, let the grower
invite other Dahlia growTers to come in and look his
stock over. This would give him a good card for his
catalog. Dahlia Grower.

The Floricultural Instruction Field

Changes and Plans at the New York State
College of Agriculture

DURING the past Summer the Department of
Floriculture has undergone a change in its or-
ganization and the title has been changed to
the Department of Floriculture and Ornamental Hor-
ticulture. On July 1, 1921, landscape art was trans-
ferred from the College of Agriculture to the College
of Architecture where all of the advanced landscape
design is now taught. Courses in design as applied
to farm homes and rural communities are still given
by Profs. R. W. Curtis and E. Gordon Davis in the
College of Agriculture, the former also giving the
courses in plant materials. J. P. Porter will teach
garden design in the Winter courses and give exten-
sion lectures on landscape gardening in its applica-
tion to the rural community. C. E. Hunn will give
instruction in methods of propagating outdoor species
of plants used for ornamental planting and H. A.
Pratt those used for greenhouse plants. Mr. Pratt
will also direct the growing of cut flower crops and
commercial potted plants in the college greenhouses.
Profs. E. A. White and Arno H. Nehrling will con-
duct the courses relating to commercial floriculture
and Miss L. A. Minns those dealing with amateur
phases of flower growing. The investigational work

The late Frank X. Stuppy

in floriculture and ornamental horticulture will be
supervised by Prof. A. C. Beal and A. W. W. Sand.

Courses in botany which have in the past been
given in the College of Arts and Sciences have been
transferred to the College of Agriculture and the Sage
College Botanical Conservatories have been aban-
doned. A truck load of their largest palms were do-
nated to the conservatories at the Buffalo Botanical
Gardens and the remaining conservatory plants trans-
ferred to the College of Agriculture greenhouses
which are now crowded in the extreme. Robert
Shore, who has given many years of service to the
University, is in charge of the conservatory plants
in their new location.

Prof. Nehrling has returned after a Summer spent
in European travel, his itinerary including England,
France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Holland and
Belgium. In these countries he spent the major part
of his time studying methods of commercial flower
and plant production, but he also visited many pri-
vate gardens as well as the larger botanic gardens
and parks. He was especially fortunate in being in
London for the great Chelsea exhibition and in Berlin
for the Hundert Jiihrige Blumen-Verband Austellung,
the centenuial of the organization of florists societies
of Germany which corresponds to the American S. A.
F. and 0. H.

Registrations are coming in rapidly for the short
Winter courses in floriculture, which begin Nov. 9.
1922. and end Fell. 17, 1923. These offer a splendid
opportunity for all young men interested in floricul-
ture or ornamental horticulture to get an immense
amount of valuable scientific information in a short
time. Inquiries should be addressed to the depart-
ment or to the secretary, Cornell University, Ithaca,

A. Welsmg

Adolph Welsing, an expert floriculturist, formerly
bead gardener for the Brooklyn Dept. of Parks and
latterly foreman gardener for Weir in the Bay Ridge
plant, died on Sept. 21 after a long illness at his
home, 99 Grant ave., Cypress Hills, N. Y. He is sur-
vived by his wife, four sons, and two daughters.

James W. Smith

James W. Smith, who for more than 25 years had
conducted a floral business in White Plains. N. Y.,
died at the home of his sister, Mrs. Winner, of Wyom-
ing, N. J., Sept. 15, at the age of 73 years. He was a
Civil War veteran, and also one of the organizers of
the Tarrytown Horticultural Society. Those surviving
are his sister and five nephews.

Frank X. Stuppy

It is with regret we are called upon to record the
untimely death of Frank X. Stuppy, president of the
Stuppy Floral Co., St. Joseph, Mo., which occurred on
Tuesday night, Sept. 26.

Mr. Stuppy was born in St. Joseph, Mo., on March
3, 1877. He was first engaged in the hardware line
and in 1900 joined his father, L. J. Stuppy, in the
retail flower business, established in 1873. L. J.
Stuppy died in 1908, and the business was carried on
by the two sons, Frank X. and John. It was at this
time that a new and larger growing establishment
was added, and the business has increased to such an
extent that it now comprises one of the largest ranges
of glass west of the Mississippi. Most of the plants
and cut stock are shipped to Oklahoma and Texas.

In January of this year Frank X. Stuppy jour-
neyed to Boston to have an operation performed.
The operation was not performed at that time, but
in the early Summer he again went to Boston for the
same purpose, and it was thought that the operation
he underwent at that time was most successful, so
that his sudden death will shock his many friends.

Mr. Stuppy leaves a widow and five children to
mourn his loss. His mother also survives him. His
brother John died about three years ago.

Mr. Stuppy was a life member of the S. A. F. and
O. H.' and the Texas State Florists Association, also
a member of the Elks.

J. T. Lovett

John Thompson Lovett. of Little Silver, X. J., tne
pioneer Monmouth Co. nurseryman, died Sept. 24 at
his home from a weakened condition of the heart
brought about by neurasthenia from which he had
suffered for the past two years. He was 70 years old.

Mr. Lovett had been engaged, in the nursery busi-
ness at Little Silver for the past 44 years. He was
born at Penn's Manor, Pa., and had lived in this sec-
tion of Monmouth County since he was 25 years old.

The deceased played a prominent part in nursery
work in America. He settled at Red Bank in 1S72,
50 years ago, when he entered the employ of A. Hance
& Son, proprietors of the Rumson Nurseries, with
whom he served six years. He was then engaged to
take charge of a big nursery at Cornwall-on-the-Hud-
son, and later returned to Monmouth County, where,
in the Autumn of 1S7S, he went into business for him-
self and issued his first catalog. The business rapidly
developed, and in 1S85 he erected a large greenhouse.
In lss.s the J. T. Lovett Co. was incorporated. It was
dissolved in 1894, when the Lovett Co. was formed.
The Lovett plant covered 250 acres of land and 125
workmen were employed.

Mr. Lovett was a Republican in politics and was
postmaster of Little Silver under the Harrison ad-
ministration. In national horticultural circles, Mr.
Lovett was held in high esteem, being known as the
"Small Fruit Prince." He was a charter member of
numerous societies, among them the American Asso-
ciation of Nurserymen, New Jersey Horticultural So-
ciety, and the New Jersey Association of Nurserymen,
of which latter organization he was also first presi-
dent. He was a life member of the American Pomo-
logical Society.

Besides his wife, who was Miss Julia Kennedy, be-
fore her marriage, he is survived by six children,
Miss Mary Lovett, who is engaged in the missionary
fields in India ; the Misses Alicia and Elizabeth Lov-
ett, who are attachees of the staff at Yale College;
Lester and J. T. Lovett, Jr., who are managing the
nursery business, and Dr. Irving K. Lovett, of Red
Bank.

The funeral services were held Wednesday, .Sept.
27, 2 p.m. at the house, Rev. D. L. Parsons officiating.
Burial was at Fair View Cemetery, Middletown.

Burial took place on Thursday morning, Sept. 28.

The Florists Exchange

American Dahlia Society

(Continued from page 849)

The Annual Meeting

This was called for 9 a.m. Wednesday, but mem-
bers were slow in appearing. Of course. President
R. Vincent was right on time, but he was patient until
Secretary Rathgeber got under way about 9.45. Fully
50 were" present, and after the minutes of the last
annual meeting had been accepted, J. Lane proposed
that in future a summary of all executive meeting
minutes be published in the Bulletin. This was agreed
to, and it was also agreed that in future the minutes
of the annual meeting should be read before adjourn-
ment instead of carrying them over for the following
year.

President Vincent then read his address, which was
well received.

Address of President Richard Vincent, Jr.

It is with pleasure that I greet my worthy friends
and members of the American Dahlia Society, on this,
our eighth annual meeting.

Time brings many changes and as to our society
we believe it has done so to its betterment, for today
we are stronger than we were a twelve month ago,
for we have had a fairly successful year ; it is our
earnest wish that further prosperity may come to us.

Today you witness the triumph of the Dahlia. We
believe that never in the history of a single flower
show has there been a more sterling exhibit of blooms
than may be seen in these halls.

We have also to thank exhibitors for complying
with our desire to make their arrangement as ar-
tistic as possible, and in this respect we feel that the
present exhibition is far superior to any show we
have yet held. We acknowledge we have not as yet
reached perfection, but are working toward that end.

When we look at the wonderful blooms gathered
here and then allow our minds to wander back but a
few years, we realize the vast strides our breeders
have made in this wonderful flower. And then to
think that Dahlia growing is really only in its in-
fancy, as it were! No one can picture the improve-
ment that may be wrought within the next few years.

The Dahlia has a future before it second to no
other flower; it can be grown almost anywhere, re-
quires but a small amount of skill for ordinary cul-
ture, and when well grown gives satisfaction to the
cottage and palace alike.

Finances

Our finances are in a fairly good condition, through
the majority of our older members having come for-
ward with their dues and the new members coming
in.

The first two issues of our Bulletin in 1922 practi-
cally paid for themselves in advertisements; although
the third issue or July number will not have quite
as many ads, yet it has paid the greater part of the
expense of publication. '

If this exhibition pans out. as we have every reason
to believe it will, we hope to have a fair balance left
in the treasurer's hands.

One factor that has helped us during the past year
is the careful expenditure of money by our present
treasurer. In all purchases of necessary articles,
printing, advertising, etc., this has been one of the
main helps toward reporting a good financial balance.
Both our treasurer and assistant treasurer are care-
ful spenders and trustworthy.

The main dependence of any society or organization
is in its secretary; when you have a good one you
can look for organization and success. I am pleased
to say that we have such a one, a worker who has
done all that I have requested of him and much more,
and the thanks of this entirely body is due to Mr.
Rathgeber for his untiring energy; his efforts, it is,
that have brought the society to where it stands
today. May he, with the help of a kind Providence,
be with us for many years to come.

Our Bulletin

We aim to make our Bulletin as instructive as pos-
sible; our members can help make it interesting to
themselves and others by sending in for publication
their, queries and experiences. There is a great deal
for us all to learn and ofttimes a query from an inex-
perienced grower, when answered, will aid others. We
want you to show the Bulletin to others and so get
them interested in Dahlia culture; through showing
the Bulletin you can often get a new member for the
society.

Our trial grounds, both North and South, are well
supplied this season by growers of new varieties, and
their stocks will be judged by competent judges, also
reported upon by Prof. Jas. B. S. Norton and Prof.
Patch, who have had charge of them during the grow-
ing season ; thus purchasers of these tested varieties
can rest assured that they are up to the standard as

reported. Many thanks are due to the heads of the
college and experiment station for their kindness and
assistance in this great work.

We have to thank the different garden clubs for
their affiliation and cooperation with the Dahlia So-
ciety and the good work they are doing in their own
Dahlia shows by bringing forward the best in their
neighborhood and creating an unbounded enthusiasm
among their members.

It has been the writer's privilege for several years
to visit the Bronx Park, N. T., show, and not only
the flowers exhibited in the hall but those well grown
plants in the park are ever a source of wonder ;
Dr. Howe and his assistants deserve special credit
for their wonderful work and exhibition. To see the
throngs of people out and around this park exhibi-
tion on a fine afternoon, with pencil and notebook in
hand, taking down the names of the various varieties
that suit their fancy, will give you some idea of the
great interest that is being taken in this flower ; our
earnest wish is that it may continue and that every
garden may have its Dahlia plants grown in all their
grandeur and beauty.

The California Dahlia Society is numbered among
our best friends and, though a long way apart as
distance goes, they are near us in thought and action,
for our progress is much similar.

May the friendship that honest rivalry has brought
about ever continue and, though we cannot often
visit save by letter, may this be kept up with long
life, prosperity and happiness to both, so that our
life's work will assist in making this work more
beautiful by inducing each and everyone to plant
another Dahlia.

We are under many obligations to Dr. W. B. Saf-
ford, U. S. Agri. Dept., Dr. Marshall A. Howe, Bronx
Park, N. T., Prof. Jas. B. S. Norton, College Park,
Md., and Prof. T. H. Hall, N. Y. Exp. Sta. and others,
for their valuable papers on the origination of the
Dahlia, its varieties and its culture. Some of these
articles have already been published, others will fol-
low in later editions of the Bulletin.

I sincerely thank you, my friends, for your support
during the past year. I have spent many an hour
studying as to how our society could be best served;
if I have failed in some things do not blame me, I
am but mortal and liable to make mistakes.

That I have not failed our increasing membership,
and the backing by men and women, honest and true,
has been my sustaining power, sometimes even when
things did not look so promising. May this kind help
from you ever continue toward the society. With
such assistance, a president should in a few years be
able to build up an organization second to none.

And now, my friends, in conclusion I ask for your
continued support for the upbuilding of the Ameri-
can Dahlia Society and venture to express the hope
that continued prosperity may be ours in the years
to come. If faithfully and energetically worked for
in the future, as in the past, there is a wonderful
future in prospect for the American Dahlia Society.

I thank you.

New By-Laws Adopted

James Duthie next presented the new set of pro-
posed by-laws, which practically are new throughout.
These propositions were taken seriatim and practically
accepted as put forward. As the financial year ends
Jan. 1, it was not possible to put forward a financial
report. It appeared that over $1100 were in the
treasury prior to the show. Nearly $200 were taken
at the doors on the first evening.

It was agreed that a complete auditors' report be
published in the Bulletin immediately after the close
of the financial year.

The Show

The show superintendent, whoever he is. was not
present ; perhaps it was as well as Mr. Cottam re-
marked. J. Duthie, as one of the judges, admitted
it was a fierce proposition to find the exhibits. Alt F.
Clark ventured to express himself strongly on this
subject as it related to amateur exhibits. Secretary
Rathgeber said there were no helpers when wanted.
G. W. Fraser declared that a floor manager was
needed badly.

President Vincent admitted conditions were diffi-
cult; the show was so big that it overloaded them.
Vases that had been ordered, failed to materialize and
this with other things, caused the congestion. They
were taking the lesson to heart, but whether they
could take a larger hall depended on circumstances.
A lady member asked why no ladies were asked to
serve on the show committee to look after the ama-
teurs who, after all, were the backbone of the society.
It was agreed that a special committee for this pur-
pose be appointed in future, Mrs. Van Heusen to act
as chairman.

The Trials

Prof. Patch, of Storrs, and Prof. J. B. Norton, of
Maryland College, reported on the trials which were,

on the whole, very satisfactory. Full reports will
appear in the Bulletin. A vote of thanks was given
to both speakers. Prof. Norton reported for the
nomenclature committee, and he described how regis-
trations were to be made. He also submitted the pro-
posed rules of the nomenclature committee, which
were accepted. A hearty vote of thanks was given to
Prof. Norton for the great work he had done.

State Societies

Alt F. Clark urged that the society consider the
question of encouraging State Dahlia Societies, af-
filiated to the A. D. S. The Dahlia cult was growing,
so that unless something was done, the A. D. S. would
fail in its duty. The secretary agreed, and the sub-
ject will be considered by the executive committee.

Election of Officers

J. Duthie, for the nomination committee, proposed
for president, Richard Vincent, Jr. ; secretary, Wm. J.
Rathgeber ; treasurer. Mrs. M. Rathgeber ; vice-presi-
dents : Geo. L. Stillman, G. W. Kerr, J. Duthie, J.
Lane, W. W. Wilmore, J. W. Davies and J. K. Alex-
ander. These and all the various committees, except-
ing the executive committee were elected en bloe,

A slight change was made in the executive. Thanks
were rendered to President Vincent for presiding; he
in turn handed bouquets of good words to all who
had helped to make the show.

THE Commercial Flower Growers of Chicago held
their first regular meeting (since June) for the
Fall and Winter period at the Hotel Randolph,
Thursday evening, Sept. 21. The attendance was not
large but considerable important business was trans-
acted in a businesslike and enthusiastic manner.

Insurance Problems Discussed

Owing to the absence of Secretary Otto H. Amling,
who is at present traveling in Europe, Henry Neve,
acted as secretary. After the reading of the minutes
of the May and June meetings, new business was
taken up. Mr. Larkston, well known in insurance
circles, addressed the meeting on the problems of in-
surance and answered many questions. The present
problem is an endeavor to get a special rating for
florists in fire and automobile, as well as consequen-
tial insurance. To do this the florists must get to-
gether and show the insurance companies the volume
of business they control. This will be the first step
toward getting a special rating.

To secure consequential insurance (as to the loss
of plants, etc., through freezing, from boiler troubles
or explosions, etc.) it was pointed out that boiler in-
surance and examination was first necessary. Many
points of interests to the growers along these matters
of insurance were discussed, so that there was a
clear understanding of what the growers should do
to get together on these matters for their own per-
sonal interests. Tornado insurance was classified as
consequential. The National Florists Hail Insurance
Association was indorsed as being entirely satisfac-
tory insofar as hail is concerned. The committee
originally appointed to look into the matter of insur
ance was continued to make further investigations,
to get the growers together, and to report at a later
meeting.

President Pearson brought up the matter of the
forthcoming Uptown Chicago Exposition to be held
Oct. 16 to 21. He stated that $600 worth of space
had been allotted to the florists free of charge and
that a budget of $500 had been provided for by the
exposition management to defray the necessary ex-
penses in putting up a fine floral exhibition. There
is besides an appropriation of $250 for the purchase
of cups, etc., to be used as prizes. It was the sense
of the meeting that the growers should support this
exhibition to the limit. Cards were passed around
asking the growers to sign and pledge exhibits of
plants or cut flowers for the event. President Pearson
stated that the local papers had promised him they
would publish any photos of novelties in plants or
flowers that might be coming along for the occasion,
and said that they want stories pertaining thereto.
The committee, of which the president is chairman,
was continued to push the matter along to a splendid
and final success.

A communication from J. F. Ammann, secretary
of the National Flower Growers Association, was read
covering general trade conditions and asking for
closer cooperation among the growers to advance
their own interests.

The Important Matter of Standardization

A communication from the secretary of the Ohio
District Growers Association was read asking for the

September 30, 1922.

The Florists Exchange

cooperation of all growers in the standardization of
all plants and cut flowers. Length and other qualifi-
cations for the various grades in Roses, Carnations
and Chrysanthemums were given for aproval. Frank
Oechslin, well-known plant grower, was present and
stated that while the size of the pot the plant was
grown in was generally accepted as the proper grade,
it was not always so. There are instances where
plants such as Cyclamen, Boston ferns, etc., are sold
as 6 in. stock when they were no better than the Sin.
plants of some other growers. These problems evoked
much discussion and it was finally agreed to take the
matter up again with S. A. F. as well as F. T. D.
members, so that a universal system of grading might
be established for the benefit of the trade everywhere.

The establishment of a service or statistical bu-
reau, was a much discussed question. It seems that
the growers should have more information as to
what" the other members are growing, the prices they
are paying for the various commodities used by them
in their business, etc. To secure all this it would be
necessary to employ a permanent secretary. This is
now under consideration and President Pearson hoped
at an early date to be able to secure the proper per-
son to render such service to the growers.

The coal shortage was discussed, the various mem-
bers stating the various prices they were paying for
their coal. It was decided that the executive com-
mittee watch any future actions of the Fuel Adminis-
tration and keep the growers informed. It was here
pointed out that the establishment of the service
bureau would accomplish all this, which brought
forth a motion that the Allied Florists Association
be asked to aid in the establishment of such a bureau.

The Daisy for a National Flower

R. J. Windier sprung a surprise on the meeting
when he called attention to the discussion going on
with regard to the selection of a national flower. He
favored the Daisy as it could be had in bloom in any
quantity on all the national holidays and other days
when flowers are in particular demand. It is broad
in its application since many flowers like Coreopsis,
Calendulas, Gaillardias, etc., are referred to as Dai-
sies by the public in general. They are all inconse-
quential as crops with the florists and in their selec-
tion of the Daisy, the florists could not be accused
of commercialism. It was decided that the secretary
write to Representative Kissell, of New York, who is
in favor of the Daisy, endorsing his selection, also
to the two senators and various congressmen from
Illinois. Mr. Windier paid an eloquent tribute to the
Daisy as a suitable flower, saying that its golden
crest and starlike petals make it an especially rep-
resentative American flower. He said that with its
adoption as the national flower by Congress the flo-
rists would go to work to improve it in a manner
never dreamt of before. He predicted that in a few
years they would all be growing Daisies with from
3ft. to 4ft. stems, and blooms 4in. to 6in. in diameter.
It is, indeed, a flower of a wide range of possibilities
and one that offers great opportunities for further
development.

Good Program for October

As the next meeting of the association falls on
Oct. 19, which is also the week of the Uptown Chicago
Exposition, it was decided to hold the next meeting
somewhere in the neighborhood of the exposition, so
that all might attend. The Winona Hotel was sug-
gested but the final selection was left to the presi-
dent who is ex-officio associated with the show and
all arrangements therefor. It was also decided that
the meeting be held earlier than usual and a six
o'clock supper be provided. There were some sug-
gestions as to a "Dutch treat" affair, but Treasurer
Paul Amling when questioned as to the financial situa-
tion, reported it in excellent condition. The "Dutch
treat" men then withdrew their motion and it was
unanimously agreed that the association pay for all
the entertainment. This was a fitting climax to the
first meeting of the season, every one going away
feeling satisfied that a good evening's work had been
accomplished and believing that the officers are work-
ing at all times for the interests of the association.
There was as well a general understanding that all
would work in harmony for the success of the de-
partment of floriculture of the great Uptown Chicago
Show, and for the interest and pleasure of the next
association meeting to be held in connection with it.

Chicago Florists Club

rists Club will be opened with a special program,
Thursday afternoon and evening, Oct. 5.

All About Oil Fuel

In the first place, the Stielow Bros. Co., Niles Cen-
ter. 111., has extended a cordial invitation to the flo-
rists of Chicago to visit its new establishment ou
Thursday afternoon, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. The Stie-
low establishment is the largest greenhouse range in
this part of the country heated exclusively by oil fuel.
Approximately 600 boiler horsepower is so operated,
A full season's oil supply is carried on hand in one
steel storage tank, with a capacity of over one-half
million gallons of oil, and this is supplemented by a
submerged concrete reserve tank of 160,000 gallons
capacity.

A representative of one of the largest concerns
manufacturing oil burning equipment will address the
florists on this very interesting and timely subject.

Members should be sure to come and inspect the
new greenhouses, the oil burners, the four types of
large boilers, the ice machine, the universal ther-
mometer, the new Rose varieties. They will hear the
latest on oil as fuel and meet the most progressive
growers of Cook County.

Stielow Bros, are one of the most uptodate estab-
lishments in the country, and all will be rewarded
for the time spent in observing their equipment.

Then the Meeting — 6.30 p.m.

A regular meeting of the club will be held follow-
ing the inspection trip to Stielow Bros, establishment.
This will be called to order at 6.30 p.m., Thursday
evening, Oct. 5, at Mike Schmitz' Auto Inn, Lincoln
ave., Niles Center.

Members can reach Stielow Bros. Co. in Niles Cea-
ter, by auto, Northwestern elevated, or Chicago North-
western Railroad. The auto route is via Lincoln ave.,
north to Niles Center, or via Dempster st, west from
Evanston.

The Chicago Northwestern Elevated. Ravenswood
Branch, goes to Western ave., where one transfers to
a bus for Niles Center.

There is only one train available on the C. N. W.,
which leaves the railroad terminal, Canal and Madi-
son sts., at 6 p.m. standard time, arriving at Niles
Center at 6.35. This train will get members to Niles
Center in time for the meeting.

Plans for First Meeting of Season

The Fall and Winter season of the Chicago FIo-

THE Museum Building. New York Botanical Gar-
den, Bronx Park, was the venue for a neat lit
tie exhibition which, unlike many exhibitions one
may attend, was wholly devoid of non-competitive dis-
plays. True, the show was not of great proportions,
nor were the competitions particularly well contested
all the way through the schedule. Nevertheless, not
one of the open classes went begging; indeed there
were but two classes which failed to draw more than
one entry and in most instances there were from three
to six entries, which suggests that a show which does
not call for a big entry fee, win or lose, and is open
to anyone and everyone, is apt to interest the flower
grower.

And what is of more interest to the reporter, the
visitor, and also the judges is that the shows at
Bronx are arranged as far as possible, according to
the schedule; that is to say the classes run continu-
ously, so that no one concerned has any difficulty in
finding the exhibits in any one class. In the main,
they adjoin each other and one has but to pass
around the halls to pick up each class from number
one onward.

Truly it can be said that there were some wonder-
fully fine quality flowers staged and, incidentally,
some poor ones; a violent wind storm a clay previous,
had upset the calculations of some exhibitors ; one or
two had to cancel their entries entirely. One feature
that marred the show were the vases ; arrangements
had been made for a special lot, but when delivery
was made at the last minute, they proved to be gal-
vanized metal of the cemetery type and particularly
unsnited for staging individual blooms. This writer
would far sooner see the blooms in the old time ex-
hibition boxes which modern fashion does not en-
courage.
The Open Classes

The entire centers of the two halls were given up
to Class 1 which demanded at least 50 varieties
spread over 150 sq. ft. Four competitors were after
the three premiums offered and Miss Myra Valentine,
gdr., A. V. Carver, New Canaan, Conn., literally
smothered her rivals. We have never seen a finer
flower of the Cactus, F. W. Fellows — Stredwick him-
self would have been proud of it — than was included

in this collection. Mrs. Ide V. Warnaar, Mephistoph-
eles, President Wilson, Millionaire, a wonderful
seedling apricot tinted Peony, Mrs. Cooper, Gee Whiz,
over lOin. this ; Laura Barnes, Myra Valentine and
Queen Esther were but a few of the striking blooms
noted.

A. E. Doty, New Haven, Conn., was a fairly good
second ; Lolita Valasco, a fine white Cactus, Cambria,
Golden West, Judge Marean, and Pink Attraction
were among the best. Louis C. Ailing, West Haven,
claimed third place with a good collection which em-
braced all types including Pompons. Alt. F. Clark,
Netcong, N. J., followed far in the rear. Certainly the
tradesmen had to stand back in this class.

The one vase classes, 12 blooms, long stems, brought
four or more entries in most instances. Mills & Co.,
Mamaroneck, N. Y., beat Alt. F. Clark with Singles,
D. M. Benford, Darien, Conn., taking third place.

With Collarettes, Louis C. Ailing scored, with Alt
F. Clark and D. M. Benford following. Mills & Co.
led with 12 Peony flowered, but the blooms were over-
big and floppy. C. F. Nordmann, Mamaroneck, was
second ; King Albert was a good purple in this vase.
D. M. Benford took third, with a vase lacking va-
riety.

With 12 Cactus, C. F. Nordmann had a strong lead ;
his F. W. Fellows, C. F. Hawes and The Lion were
fine. Mills & Co. came secoud with some big flowers,
but sadly hanging. A. E. Doty's third prize lot were
right down in the dump.

F. P. Quimby, White Plains, N. Y., had a mile lead
with hybrid cactus; his vase of E. M. Doyne, pink on
yellow, with its upstanding stems and blooms, was a
fine example of what Dahlias should be. Louis C.
Ailing and C. F. Nordmann followed.

With Decoratives, F. P. Quimby again showed
people how to do things; his vase of Cambria was a
rare treat. Mills & Co., 2d, included Arum Ra, or-
ange, and Mrs. Estes, white, in their vase. Query,
where do Hybrid Cactus and Decoratives begin?

With Show types, Louis C. Ailing led with a good
vase of Mrs. C. D. Anderson. A. E. Doty and C. F.
Nordmann followed. Six entries in this class.

Twelve Pompons in variety do not make much of a
show, but C. F. Nordmann easily put it over Mills
& Co. and Louis C. Ailing.

Several were after the premiums for 12 white;
Mrs. H. Mallory, Portchester, N. Y., gdr., H. F. Bul-
pitt, with Hortulanus Witte, shook off Louis C. Ailing
and C. F. Nordmann, who were staging Imp. E. Slo-
combe and Princess Juliana respectively. Louis C.
Ailing had a walkover with 12 yellow, showing Es-
telle Christy and he also landed first with 12 pink,
showing Pink Attraction, beating D. M. Benford and
A. E. Doty.

D. M. Benford easily led with variegated showing
San Mateo, while A. E. Doty swamped Alt F. Clark
with 12 any color not specified. A better dozen Presi-
dent Wilson would want finding.

With a display 50 sq. ft., Mills & Co. filled one
corner ; a neat little collection of all types with vari-
ous foliage. No names were visible, however. Insu-
linde, Kalif, Geo. Walters and Mephistopheles were a
few notables. C. F. Nordmann took second place.

The only table centerpiece shown was a tame af-
fair, hardly creditable for a cottage gardener, least
of all a trade grower. The vase arranged for effect
set up by A. E. Doty contained Shudow's Lavender,
with grasses ; it easily scored over the plain set up
of Mrs. Mallory. The basket class, too, was not strong
but C. F. Nordmann made a good show with crim-
son blooms, easily outclassing that of J. C. Latham,
Stamford, Conn.

The seedling classes brought out a number of en-
tries. Mrs. C. H. Stout, Short Hills, N. J., easily
scored with some good yellow and red seedlings,
though some need improving in stem.

With a Decorative, Mrs. Stephen Van Holsen, Fan-
wood, N. J., gained a C. of M. for Francis Gilbert, a
big crimson. Louis Ailing, with White Glory, a fine
thing, also gained a similar award. Chas. A. Searle,
Westfield, N. J., gained a certificate with Eleanor
Augusta, pale red tipped fawn, as did Mrs. H. Stout
with an unnamed seedling, salmon buff in color.

The non-commercial and amateur classes were not
very strong, but some of the finest flowers were
shown here. Mrs. F. A. Constable, gdr., J. Stuart,
Mamaroneck, had two wonderful vases of Hybrid Cac-
tus and Decoratives. Only Mrs. H. Mallory exhibited
a collection of annuals and also perennials. Mrs.
Robt. Mallory, gdr., Wm. Smith, exhibited one of the
finest Maidenhair ferns we have ever seen; over 4ft.
across and perfect. A silver medal was awarded it.
The same award was granted Mills & Co. for a vase
of their big Dahlia, Miss Myra Valentine, a fine up-
standing Decorative, with a distinctive Autumn tint.

The Florists Exchange

Fuel Notes From the Pacific Coast

(Continued from page 851)

say it gives full satisfaction, that oil at the price at
■which they can buy it is 20 per cent cheaper than
coal under prevailing local conditions, that, easily
half the labor is required to handle it, that the sys-
tem is clean in operation and use, and that once you
have the required steam pressure in your boilers, the
more equal heat supplied by oil fuel allows of regu-
lation that results in fuel saving. Compression and
supply in the burner under notice is controlled by the
motor attached to it.

This firm has a concrete storage tank with capacity
for 200 barrels. Supply is maintained by truck de-
livery.

The Woodland Park Floral Co., of Sumner. Wash-
is now installing a No. 4, low pressure Ray oil burner
in its boilers, replacing a combination coal and wood
fuel. They have a steel storage tank, underground,
with a capacity of 3460 gallons, or approximately SO
barrels. In this case also the supply is to be kept up
by truck. Frank Schevenka said they had studied the
question thoroughly, and believed that, as two barrels
of oil were equal in heat units to one ton of soft
coal, the oil at their contract price of $1.57 per bbl.,
would be more economical.

I have not heard of any one among our growers
who is at present using crude oil for fuel. I have
been told of a private establishment which is install-
ing a petroleum gas generating system, which I hope
to investigate, and also one commercial plant at
Tacoma which is using electricity. This latter I also
hope to visit shortly. Geo. Cooper.

Oil Cost Comparisons

Making inquiry of a large oil distributing concern,
we have secured the following rather interesting data
(of course the figures given are not guaranteed as
permanent) :

Kerosene oil can be purchased in 50-gal. wooden
barrels, delivered from the nearest station at 21c. per
gal. or $10.50 per barrel. Empty barrels will be taken
back and credited at the market price on day of re-
turn, which averages about $1.50.

The same oil can be bought in bulk (that is, de-
livered from tank wagon) in quantities of 50 gals, or
more for 15c. per gal. A purchaser not already sup-
plied with a container can buy a steel 50-gal. tank
for $10.15. Supposing he consumes 200 gals, of oil
in a given period, the relative costs by the two meth-
ods of buying would be :

BY BARREL

4 bbls. (200 gals.) oil @ 510.50 $42.00

Credit 4 empties 6.00

Net cost $36.00

IN BULK

200 gals, oil @ 15c $30.00

One 50-gal. tank 10.15

$40.15
Credit value of tank, say 8.00

Net cost $32.15

In other words bulk buying is clearly the most eco-
nomical where steady consumption of a gallon or
more per day is contemplated. This is important data
for any householder who plans to use oil heaters for
the next couple of months in an endeavor to conserve
coal.

In the case of larger heating propositions, such as
greenhouse installations, kerosene, even at 15c, may
prove prohibitively expensive in comparison with
crude oil at from 5c. to 10c. per gal., depending upon
the grade. But it must be remembered that the
cheaper the fuel (the price increasing as the weight
or density decreases) the more expensive the equip-
ment required to burn it. Thus, as an emergency meas-
ure to be employed for only a few mouths andin con-
nection with a boiler of small size, it might prove
wiser to buy a small light oil burning outfit and pur-
chase bulk kerosene; whereas a larger enterprise
might be justified in spending three or four thou-
sand dollars for a heavy oil burner and storage tank,
with a view to using liquid fuel permanently and at
the rate of thousands of gallons per year.

The principles involved are as clear cut as anyone
could desire; it is their practical application that
demands careful study in the light of every separate
instance. Each greenhouse presents a problem of its
own and one which the owner must solve for himself.

Rules and Regulations for Fuel Oil Users

We are in receipt of two interesting booklets, being
respectively, the "Fuel Oil Rules Adopted by the
Board of Standards and Appeals of the City of New
York," and the "Regulations of the National Board
of Fire Underwiters for the Storage and Use of Fuel
Oil and for the Construction and Installation of Oil

Burning Equipments Where a Competent Attendant
Is Constantly on the Premises."

The specifications and directions included are too
lengthy to be reprinted here, and too detailed to per-
mit of summarizing or abridgment, but they are of
vital importance to any greenhouse operator con-
templating the installation of an oil heating system.
While the National Underwriters' rules apply through-
out the country, it is assumed that other municipali-
ties will have their own regulations corresponding to
those of New York referred to here.

Disregard of these regulations may not only mean
difficulty in securing insurance adjustments in case
of fire losses but, also, in large cities, may result in
serious complications involving the violation of local
statutes, and the penalties therefor.

Purrees Srrrpta

Oust there wuz a man who went into bizness
for hisself. He Felt that it wuz important to
make Peppul think that he had Scads of money.
Sew he Turned all of his assets into Kash an'
deposited every penny he could in the bank.

Sumtimes he had many thousands of dollars
there. He would leave this a little while an'
then he would pull it out. Okasionally he
would borrow money for a few days from a
sister who had married rich, an' he would put
that Money in the bank to make his Balance
look big.

Onst he over-paid a advertising bill by ten
dollars. The Noospaper kalled him up an' told
him an' asted whether he would have a reFund
or would leave the sum to his Credit. He re-
sponded airily,

"To the deuce with it. Forget it ! It wuz
only a slip of the pen."

He wuz a free spender an' had lots of
friends. The bank treated him with respect an'
often urged him Earnestly to call on them for
Money if he needed any more to Finance his
Bizness with. From time to time he began to
borrow small sums an' always payed them
Promptly. Little by little, bizness became Less,
owing to general depression an' the Idee that-
some Peppul had that his prices must be high
to Pay his big expense account.

At last he began to spend less an' less, for
he had much less to draw upon. His friends
were not nearly so cordial or Noomerous. He
had a spat with his sister who tried to advise
him. He wouldn't be Advised. She Soured
on him an' refused any more Kash money.

He went to the bank for a loan of what wuz
a paltry sum to him. He had many times the
amount in actual Assets — But knot in liquid
Kapital. The bank peppul stalled an' stalled.
They wuz always OUT or in Konference. At
last they kum out flat footed an' sed,

"No Sir, we aren't ready to Finance your
social entertainin' an' your tryin' to make a
Show."

He flared up an' sed he would take his Biz-
ness elsewhere. The bank laffed an' sed sneer-
in'-] ike,

"You won't have any bizness long. Even rats
will leave a sinking ship."

Sew he flounced away an' tried to get Kash
at a other bank. They sed Koldly,

"Why don't you get it where you have been
doin' Bizness?"

No one seemed to find it convenient to loosen
up. Everybody wuz short. Even his rich friends
Klaimed to be hard pushed. He couldn't raise
the dough an' for lack of a thousand dollars,
he lost more than fifteen times that much.

The wise man makes the best show by keep-
ing his credit good. An' he keeps it good by
managing his affairs so no one can stick the
hook into him.

It is time to prepare loam for next season's plant-
ing. In the first place all the old loam taken out of
the houses should be carted to the field, spread out,
then seeded down this Fall. If this is done early
Timothy might be largely sown as it makes a heavy
sod with little top growth. This, however, should be
sown during the present month in the Middle States
to insure success. If you sow later it would be better

to use Winter Rye which will come up quickly and
make a good growth before freezing weather. You
can plow this under in the Spring and improve the
condition of your ground. If you have a good sod in
the field it would be well to plow up and haul about
6in. of the top soil on to some high, dry ground as
near as possible to the houses where you intend to
use it next Spring. It will then be ready when you
want it. The chances are that you will be too busy,
or the land will be too wet to cart over in the early
Spring months when you might have time to do this
work. Dump and spread the loam out level about
one foot thick, turning the sod side down. It can lie
there over Winter and will be benefited by exposure
to the air and frost. During the Winter if you have
any manure to dispose of you can spread it on top
of the loam. If you are going to buy manure in the
Spring I would let the loam stay exposed to the
weather through the Winter. Then in the Spring you
can cover it with about one-quarter the amount of
manure and plow and disc harrow it until it is fit
to use. During this operation in the warm weather
you can add the bonemeal and, between the plowing
and harrowing let it lie and bake in the sun until
wanted for use. If properly prepared it will be in
first-class condition.

Any loam wanted for use this Winter for topdress-
ing or for potting young stock should be secured and
piled up so that it can be gotten at when it is needed ;
some room under cover, away from frost is needed
for a part of this.

Any unfinished repairs on the roofs should be at-
tended to without delay for the weather will soon
be bad for this work ; unrepaired breaks may damage
the plants, besides wasting heat in keeping up the
proper warmth.

Planning for Another Year's Plants

It will soon be time to commence raising stock for
next year and whether you raise your own or buy all
you need will depend on your own situation. There
is so much good stock to be bought that many grow-
ers for various reasons find it convenient to buy all
their young plants. In this case it pays to order
early if you deal with a reliable firm as you then get
first choice. If you raise your own stock and have
not yet bought your Manetti you should secure it
without delay. If you have the facilities and can
graft stock successfully it undoubtedly pays to do so.
This is a question for every man to figure out for
himself.

I prefer home-grown stock and the best wood that
you can select is none too good to use. For the small
grower it does not pay to grow stock for sale, select
the cream for yourself and dump the rest that you
would not want to plant. Let the specialists in young
stock have the market to themselves. Of course any
small surplus that is really good you can sell. But
this often results in selling yourself short which is
poor policy.

I prefer grafted to own-root stock as it is much
superior in growth, but there is no denying the fact
that lots of Roses do very well indeed on their own
roots and our experience is that they are freer from
mildew in the Summer time than the grafted stock.
This may be because they do not start off so early,
with such large soft growth, which may get caught
in July and August if no fire heat is used, and if we
get bad weather.

On Rose Soil

Editor The Florists Exchange:

I would like the opinion of a successful Rose grower
in regard to growing Roses on a light, sandy, but
very good soil. We can get all of the top soil we want
from pasture fields. We grow good Carnations equal
to most in the New York market ; been growing them
for 20 years. Which pays best — Roses or Carnations?
Can ship by truck. Our house is 50ft.x300ft, built
by Lord & Burnham Co., heated by steam, plenty of
heat, benches on ground. — F. A. B., L. I.

— We have no doubt but that good Roses can be
obtained on light soil and especially if the grower
obtains some powdered clay as suggested by our
Boston representative recently. We have grown excel-
lent Roses on light soil outdoors.

As to which is most profitable, Roses or Carnations,
that is more or less a local problem. Some former
Rose growers have gone into Carnations and some Car-
nation growers have changed over to Roses. Labor
costs with Roses are perhaps less, but the heating
costs are greater. [Perhaps some readers will give
their views. — Ed.]

The Wicked Worm. — Cuthbert had been listening for half
an hour to a lecture from his father on the evils of late
nights and late risings in the morning. "You will never
amount to anything," said the father, "unless you turn over
a new leaf. Remember, it's the early bird that catches the
worm." "Ha, ha!" laughed Cuthbert. "How about the worm?
What did he get for turning out so early?" "My son," re-
plied the father, "that worm hadn't been to bed all night; he
was on his way home." — Pittsburgh Christian Advocate.

Dahlia Show in England

Owing to the late season, the National
Dahlia sM>w on Sept. 6 was not so large
as usual. For the first time for some
years, the society held its show at the
R. H. S. hall, independent of the R. H.
S. meeting and, according to reports, there
is reason for thinking that the Dahlia's
popularity will greatly increase in the
near future.

Competition among trade exhibitors was.
keen; as usual Stradwick & Son won the
gold medal with 18 varieties of Cactus,
six blooms of each.

The garden type of Cactus appears to.
be in favor; this type is true Cactus, but.
possesses stems that hold the flowers,
erect; The Dutch Dahlia Society staged
a good exhibit, the flowers all being
staged in baskets. Most of the varieties,
were new. No awards wrere granted; va-
rieties are selected by the committee for-
trial and must pass this test before awards
are made.

Cheal & Sons are still advancing with
their small flowered star type; these are-
of great value for cutting and we are in-
terested to note that one seedling, a rose-
pink of special value to florists^ has.
been named Miss Lobjoit, after the daugh-
ter of the British controller of horti-
culture, it having appealed specially to.
her and her father.

Lettuce Problem

Please advise why Los Angeles Lettuce-
seed, when sown in Beverly, Mass., comes
up as Dreer's Wonderful. California
seedsmen say it is the original type of
Lettuce grown for heads and shipped to-
eastern markets. What effect has cli-
mate, soil and the frequent rains and
methods of watering upon the growth?
During the season of growing in California
there is no rain, all irrigation.

C. R. H., Mass.

— We think it is not so much a ques-
tion of where the seed was grown as
where the crop for heads is being handled.
Lettuce will not head properly wrhen the
temperature runs high. We have never
grown the so-called Los Angeles Lettuce,
but if the general sample of California
Lettuce we see in the Spring, are Lob
Angeles, we hazard the view that it is
merely a selection of the Wonderful New
York or Big Boston types. These again,
together with most of the giant head Let-
tuce are but selections of or identical to
the several French raised Lettuce which
have been in cultivation many, many
years. Much of the Lettuce seed sold
throughout the world is grown in Cali-
fornia, so we do not think the condi-
tions there effect Lettuce stocks as they
do certain other vegetable seeds which
cannot be growm there many seasons
without deterioration. We have seen mag-
nificent New York Lettuce in England
from California seed; on the other hand,
we have at times found it impossible to
get Lettuce to head in our section of
New Jersey, either from California,
French or English seed. If your trial of
Los Angeles differs from the samples
shipped from the West, we opine it is
your climate not the seed stock that is
responsible.

The Florists Exchange

Chas. H. Totty Co., Madison, N. J.

In a general way, these nurseries are
interesting at any time ; to Rose forcers
they have been especially so this season,
for this is the only Eastern residence of
new Hill's America. Within easy reach
of Madison, and this includes Long
Island, there are a number of Rose grow-
ers who are more than interested in the
dollar and cent value of a Rose from a
bloom viewpoint and, as Mr. Totty has
always given them carte blanche to visit
at any time, not a few have availed them-
selves of the chance to see America not
once, but many times. With what re-
sults? I held the answer in the form of
a stack of orders from growers, not only
in the New Jersey Rose area, but from
New York, Connecticut and Massachu-
setts. These orders are for this coming
season's delivery and aside from the mul-
titude of cuttings now in the benches,
or in small pots, not a plant for filling
these orders is on the place. And the
orders are not for experimental hun-
dreds, they range from 5000 to 20,000. A
grower who will bank on 20,000 of a
new Rose after he has watched it for a
season, is not likely to make an error.
Generally speaking, the word of Chas.
Totty is good enough, but when a grower
can see four or five houses under way,
from benching time on, and can see what
a Rose will do on its own roots as well
as grafted, an order for ten, fifteen or
twenty thousand plants is something like
a testimonial.

It's up to anyone to name another
Rose that will run, aye gallop away like
America and almost, if not always, make
a shapely bloom on 3ft. stems without a
pinch. Chas. Totty has grown a few
Roses in his time and he cannot mention
a variety to equal America ; if there was
one, be sure he would have it, for he has
an open mind and unlike a raiser, is not
apt to overlook any faults. True, he tries
out all sorts of new Roses because he
wants to make money, but he doesn't let
this warp his judgment.

The new yellow Souv. Claudius Pernet,
too, is a variety he wishes he had more
of on the benches, for while it has not as
yet proved itself a champion in the open,
either in the United States or in Eng-
land, there is no questioning the fact
that under glass, it is a great Rose des-
pite its thorns. It grows continuously
and makes good stems.

Carnations which used to fill a good
deal of space at one or other of the Totty
Co. ranges, have been reduced this sea-
son; the call for Roses and 'Mums made
it imperative to give them more space ;
as a matter of fact the whole of the gloss
could be given up to Roses, but Totty
and 'Mums are synonymous in the minds
of the public and therefore must remain.
The early sorts of Chrysanthemums were
looking fine and, by the time the Totty
retail store is opened in New York, some
of the varieties will be more or less in
"cut." The new store, by the way, will
not be wholly dependent upon the firm's
own ranges ; everything worth while will
be handled and orchids will be a spe-
cialty. Chas. Totty, 20 years or so ago,
grew some 20,000 of the finest orchids
in the United States, and1 although he
doesn't grow them now he still has a
kind regard for them and believes the
flower buying public has also.

The new store is just the outcome of a
thought that has long been on his mind,
and it had to be worked off, come what
may.

The Totty nurseries are not wholly de-
voted to greenhouse subjects; in late
years hardy plants have been an import-
ant feature. Mr. Totty realized their
value long years ago and has worked up
a fairly extensive collection. Iris, Del-
phiniums, Phlox and similar subjects are
a big feature, while the smaller growing
lines like Canterbury Bells, Polyanthus
Primroses, etc., are likewise largely han-
dled.

Dahlias, too, have become a big line
and from the dwarf Mignon varieties
originally imported, a wonderfully varied
collection has been raised. These free
flowering Singles are real garden plants
and only call for a sunny position. The
tiny Anemone flowered type, Peter Pan,
is also represented and one might hazard
a guess that these dwarf types will ap-
peal to many who become surfeited with

giant flowered, tall growing sorts which
are the present vogue.

An acre or more is devoted to the
large flowering types including some of
the leaders, such as Insulinde, Peg o'
My Heart, Judge Marean, Geo. Walters,
etc., etc. As a matter of fact anything
that is anything in the garden plant line
outside of shrubs and trees, appeals to
the Chas. Totty Co. and because of the
variety afforded, visitors to the nurseries
are more than numerous during the Sum-
mer and early Fall.

As is well known, early flowering
Chrysanthemums are among the pets at
Madison and a fair sized batch of seed-
lings is raised each season. One or two
yellow and pink Singles were flowering
in mid-September, but the next few
weeks will probably show greater re-
turns. There is lots of room for varie-
ties that will flower in the garden from
the latter end of September on ; types
like Normandle and Cranford White par-
tially disbudded, give splendid results
when well handled. With the advent of
cooler nights, outdoor 'Mums swell their
buds rapidly and little or no shelter is
required during October. Many a retail
florist grower could get nearly all the
'Mums he needs in October from the
open without devoted valuable bench
space to them. W.

J. J. Cummings & Sons, Baltimore

J. J. Cummings, the founder of the
firm bearing his name, with the "and
sous" affixed, has been a man of wide
and varied experiences, with many ups
and downs in his struggle for success.
From a very small beginning to a big
thriving floral industry, Mr. Cummings
has won his floral spurs, after a long
run of trials and disappointments.

He first started in the business at Wil-
liamsbridge, N. Y., and after working at
the growing end for six years, opened
a store on 14th st, between Third and
Lexington aves., New York City, and,
says Jim, "I went broke in less than a
year." Then he had a try at the insur-
ance end, coming to Baltimore as super-
intendent for the Metropolitan Life In-
surance Co. Severing his connections
with this big concern, he started his own
company in 1890 ("again to his sorrow,"
says Jim), with offices in Tennessee,
Alabama and Georgia, with but limited
success. 'Twas then the old love of the
flower business asserted itself, and he
came back to Baltimore and leased the
St, Mary's Industrial School Green-
houses, where he began growing for the
wholesale trade. Here he taught the
boys the culture and care of Roses, Car-
nations and the growing of pot plants.
One of his students was the world re-
nowned Babe Ruth. Later a strip of 15
acres of land was bought, right within
the city limits and only seven minutes'
drive trom his present store on West
Baltimore st., and in 1914 he erected
five King Construction greenhouses, each
300x36ft., that are today filled with com-
mercial Roses, the flowers of which are
all handled in his own store. We will
not go into details and tell you of the
packing sheds, boiler rooms, etc., and
how neat and progressive the whole
plant looks, but just a word : — Jim has
three live wires in the boys — J. J. Jr.,
Paul and Gilbert, and ye harken to me,
Jim, Sr., is not only a live wire him-

self, he's the power house supplying the
electricity, radiated by these youngsters.
When you F. T. D. men get to Baltimore,
don't fail to have a look at this big grow-
ing establishment. You will be royally
entertained. That's the truth. R. H.

Grading Discussed at Club Meeting

At its meeting on Sept. 20, the
Kansas City Florists Club received from
the National Flower Growers Association
a communication regarding standards and
gradings for cut flowers, which aroused
much interest. There seemed general
opinion that steps should be taken toward
standardizing though there were some
who could not see the feasibility of it
Mr. Noll, speaking as a distributor, re-
marked that growers often fail to un-
derstand grading; that there was in cases
a tendency to consider "flowers as flow-
ers," and to bunch all together, regard-
less of quality, at so much per 100. It
was also suggested that grading would
help commission men to know what they
were selling; and that therefore both
wholesalers and growers would be great-
ly benefited by general adoption of
standards. William L. Rock made a mo-
tion that a committee be appointed to
consider the national association's pro-
posal, one member being exclusively a
grower, one a wholesaler and one a re-
tailer. President Noll appointed John
Stevens, grower; Samuel Murray, retail-
er1 (who is also a grower, with a city
greenhouse) and himself, a wholesaler, as
the committee, to report at the next meet-
ing.

Mrs. T. A. Moseley, Kansas City, Kan.,
reported success with her effort to secure
the privilege of placing one of the "Say
it with Flowers" sign boards near the
Kansas end of the intercity viaduct. This
is said to be one of the finest billboard
locations in Greater Kansas City. The
granting of the privilege by the city com-
missioners was recognized as a great con-
cession, since the commissioners have
earnestly campaigned against billboards.
This board, however, was regarded as not
the class of other billboards.

Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Coupland, Coffey-
ville, Kan., supplied, through W. J.
Barnes, an interesting exhibit for the
meeting. Thia was a display of prepared
and unprepared native grasses and field
flowers of the Coffey ville district, dem-
onstrating the attractiveness and variety
of material easily available for decora-
tive work. There were examples of This-
tle, Kansas Grayfeather or Blazing Star,
Okra; Timothy, and many kinds of wild
grasses. The showing of the natural
grasses, blooms and pods, beside the col-
ored specimens, was particularly inter-
esting.

Election Results

As a result of the balloting W. J.'
Barnes is the new president of the club.
The honor was well merited, for many
reasons. Those who attended the national
convention were aware of his work for
that event, for which he served as chair-
man of the advisory committee. Mr.
Barnes is both a grower and a retailer,
having houses in a residence district of
Kansas City. He has always been one

of the staunch supporters of organiza-
tion work, local, State and national, ac-
tive in the Missouri State Association,
and a member of and regular attendant
at the Kansas State conventions. He is
vice-president for Western Missouri of
the S. A. F. and O. H., a member of the
F. T. D. A., and prominent in Kansas
City civic affairs, being a member of the
Chamber of Commerce, the Cosmopolitan
Club, and several Masonic bodies.

C. A. Chandler, treasurer of the Chand-
ler Landscape & Floral Co., was elected
vice-president. Mr. Chandler is a land-
scape architect as well as a flower grow-
er, and has personally had much to do ■
with the beautification of Kansas City.
His wide experience in extensive public
garden work at St. Louis and Kansas
City, and the fact that he is now through
the company operating greenhouses and
a landscape business as well as a nursery
of ornamental stock, give him a peculiar
breadth of sympathy in the industry.

Both Mr. Barnes and Mr. Chandler
have sons in the business, the former hav-
ing two associated with him, and Mr.
Chandler having one in the greenhouse
and store, and another, a recently grad-
uated landscape architect.

Mrs. A. M. Williams, who is not engaged
in the business was elected secretary.

Robert Fields, manager of the Fields
store, greenhouses and flower farm, Kan-
sas City, Kan., was elected treasurer as a
recognition of the part Kansas City, Kan.,
plays in the Kansas City Club.

The club gave a hearty vote of thanks
to T. J. Noll and Glenn K. Parker, retir-
ing president and secretary, for their
splendid service during the past year, par-
ticularly in view of the heavy duties so
well borne in connection with the S. A.
F. and O. H. convention. The new presi-
dent, Mr. Barnes, declared that if he
could do half as well as Mr. Noll had
done, he would be sure that the club and
the industry would be well served here.

Resolutions of Appreciation

Recognizing that the annual con-
vention of the S. A. F. and O. H. here
greatly benefited many people and pur-
poses, and that one of its chief benefits
was the development of big ideas and pur-
poses among the Kansas City representa-
tives of the industry, the club passed
special resolutions of appreciation. It
has been stronger and more ambitious this
past year than any florist organization
this city has had; and as a result of the
convention, it seems destined to continue
the aggressive and fine work. One of
these resolutions was to the effect, "That
we hereby express our best appreciation
of the service and cooperation afforded
by the Chamber of Commerce and its Con-
vention Bureau, and that it further be
Resolved, That the Kansas City Florist
Club and its members as individuals seek
opportunities to reciprocate that generous
cooperation to the Chamber, and to oth-
er organizations whose projects the Cham-
ber may wish furthered, and that we show
by our support of the Chamber, as indi-
viduals and as a club and industry, the
fullness and sincerity of our apprecia-
tion."

A second expression of sentiment
unanimously adopted read as follows:

Whereas, The Kansas City Florist Club ap-
pointed William L. Rock chairman of the
general convention committee to make and

J. J. Cummings & Sons big Rose range at Baltimore, Md. (See text)

September 30, 1922

execute plans for the convention of the So-
ciety of American Florists and Ornamental
Horticulturists, held in Kansas City Aug. 15
to 17, upon invitation of the Kansas City
Florists Club, Mr. Rock to appoint his com-
mittee chairman; and

Whereas, The many committees were des-
ignated and chairmen and members appointed,
at a date far ahead of the convention so that
ample time was provided for careful work; the
several committees were organized and meet-
ings thereof held, and plans made; the chair-
men of committees meeting weekly over a
long period to check up each activity; the ad-
visory committee so conscientiously observing
each detail and so thoughtfully promoting har-
mony in the general program; and punctili-
ously reporting to the club; and

Whereas, The result of the work of the
general committee and the many committees
was such as to win enthusiastic comment from
national sources, from officials and prominent
members of the S. A. F. and O. H., so that
even if we of Kansas City had not been aware
of the distinguished success of the convention,
the facts would have teen widely heralded;
and

Whereas, Because of the completeness of
arrangements and the smoothness of execu-
tion, the Kansas City convention is considered
one of the best, if not the best, ever held by
the association ; and

Whereas, The fine work of the committee
under the leadership of Mr. Rock brought
about close cooperation from many local
agencies for the success of the convention, and
established contact with them for the Florists
Club, and brought distinction upon this busi-
ness and the people engaged in it; and

Whereas, This club feels that the florists'
business in all its phases has been very great-
ly benefited through the work done by _ the
general convention committee, and especially
by the development of the spirit and fact of
cooperation in the industry; therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Kansas City Florists Club,
that the heartiest of thanks be given to the
committees, to every chairman and member,
and especially to Mr. Rock, for their earnest-
ness and fidelity; and the deepest of apprecia-
tion hereby expressed for the high quality of
their efforts and results; and be it further

Resolved, That this club shall try to keep
keyed up in the future to the high standard to
which the general committee stimulated it, and
hat it shall look to the general committee,
whose sessions are to be continued, for further
inspiration and guidance in advancement of
the interests of the business, and public ap-
preciation of flowers.

Arthur Newell has returned from his
vacation, by far the best, he said, that
he ever spent. He and Mrs. Newell went
45 miles beyond Minneapolis to Annadale,
where they found cottages on a lake shore
20 miles from "civilization." There was
nothing there but the most delightful fish-
ing, food and living, and one didn't have
to dress up every day. "It was a real
vacation," said Mr. Newell; "the kind
that refreshes and restores."

Flowers and Auto Publicity

W. J. Barnes recently had apart — ■
the florist's part — in a decorative enter-
prise of a motor car dealer, that had con-
siderable significance. The Oakland
Motor Car Co. recently made the Kansas
City retail store a factory branch; and
the manager, Mr. Kucker, desired to at-
tract attention and make a pleasant im-
pression on the Kansas City public for it,
and for the same series car. He bought
lumber, sand, dirt and sod, had his men
bring oak boughs from woods, and with
these, erect a garden, in the salesroom,
50ft.x50ft. Dirt was spread over the
whole floor except where sand and rock
formed walks; on the dirt was spread
sod; and in the dirt were planted flowers.
The flowers grew in their new home, be-
ing watered daily, with a hose, exactly
as in a garden. Palms and potted plants
were also grouped and plumes of grasses
decorated various vantage points. The
scene was given a purely incidental motor
car atmosphere, by the presence of four
cars on the grass among the plants. The
company invited the public to a "Garden
Party," and three thousand came. The
party was the "talk of the town" for a
week. Many big business men visited the
garden, in order to get ideas for similar
enterprises in promoting their own busi-
ness, and it is said that there will be
numerous gardens in stores and other
business places this Fall and Winter. The
whole scheme has supplied a stimulus to
the use of flowers for attracting favorable
attention that will not soon, be forgot-
ten.

For the first time in many years
there was no public free distribu-
tion of plants from Kansas City's
public parks this Fall. The park
board announced that there were so few
plants suitable for transplanting avail-
able for distribution that to avoid ulti-
mate disappointment, the event would be
discontinued for this year at least.

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOL.GATHERER

Beauty

The author of Opportunity Knocks,
page 665, says you cannot sell or . value
beauty at a fixed price. Huh! Did he
ever consult a woman on the subject?
[Now, now, let the girls alone. — Ed.]

Australian Quarantines

Recent reference was made to the
fact that Australia was exercising quar-
antines against many kinds of plants, par-
ticularly fruit stocks, the United States
being specially referred to. From Le
Bulletin Joseph Paquet I learn that Aus-
tralia also discriminates against French
Lucerne seed which may not be imported -
unless it has been dyed red. Australia
can grow this seed, but not at the same
cost as in France, so apart from a duty
of 18c. a pound, the law demands that
the French seed must be dyed. Paquet
considers it a farce, but serious, because
the French grown seed is considered to be
better than the Australian product. Likely
as not the French seed is better for Aus-
tralian sowing than the domestic, but
when quarantine and tariff "bugs" get on
the job, they don't consider such view-
points. We know, for instance, that Cali-
fornia seed growers have to keep im-
porting certain seeds for stock purposes,
but all the same, such seeds are, I sup-
pose, dutiable like the rest and, if at any,
some wise congressman puts in a bill to
exclude all kinds of seeds at the prompt-
ing of some know-all, only powerful ac-
tion would stop it including Carrots,
Radish, Beets and so forth.

It Might Be Expected

Judging by conversations and remarks
overheard, the subject of interstate quar-
antines is a bogie that is not wholly ab-
sent from the nurseryman's cupboard.
California, Alabama and Georgia have
such quarantines; in. fact, the Georgia or-
der is more in the nature of a holdup, in-
asmuch as anyone wanting to ship there
has to put up a big bond and be ready
to toe the line should anyone kick within
90 days of delivery. One party told me
that the accidental inclusion of two pro-
hibited bushes into a California order
cost his firm $50; the two bushes actually
passed the inspectors and reached the
customer, being discovered later after
they were planted. But, as another lias
said, what else can be expected? If na-
tional quarantines go, why not interstate
quarantines and then county quarantines,
so that eventually when you buy in one
town you must open up when you reach
the next, the same as used to prevail, if
not now, in France where the octroi tax
operated. Several years ago The Ex-
change hinted that State quarantines
might become general in the future and
seemingly this thought is now back of
the minds of many nurserymen and plant
growers. One has but to imagine gen-
eral State quarantines against New York,
New Jersey, Massachusetts and Pennsyl-
vania, to picture what would be the re-
sult.

Poor Taste

Most bulb forcers will admit they are
in the business to make money, but most
of them would prefer to put it less crude-
ly. Anyway, I can't say I admired the
notion of decorating a pot of Hyacinths
with bills as was illustrated in a con-
temporary. It was neither complimentary
to the national currency nor flattering to
the bulbs. True, it was only an ad, but
even ads can be in good taste.

A New Version

We all know that Major O'Keefe con-
ceived the slogan "Say it with Flowers"
from an old time writer's expression,
"Flowers are words." It is a peculiar fact
that ancient writers were extremely apt
at coining phrases and mottoes which, in
a few words, expressed much. Maybe
they had the time to develop this trait,
although it is just possible they never
gave the subject any real thought, but
just wrote what their genius prompted.

Glancing over some gossip in a small
English journal, I note a writer com-
ments on some old time mottoes. One
of them written in 1510, reads: "Think
and Thanke." Another, which concerns us
more closely, written at the same time,

reads: "How muche the speech of flowers
excels the flowers of speech." That's a
slogan that some people could well con-
sider.

Shell Flowers

Another item from the little journal
provides the information that Lady Susan
Birch has revived the art of shell work
which was the vogue in Queen Anne's
day. We all can remember as kids the
fancy boxes, etc., covered with shells, but
the lady in question is making flowers of
shells. With shells from foreign seas,
she is making Water Lilies, Magnolias,
Tulips and the like. Mounted on stems,
they are used for various decorative pur-
poses including table centers. A tip for
the florist here.

Caterpillars and Winter

According to a party at Monticello,
N. Y., the coming Winter will be a hard
one. He bases his prediction on the ob-
servation that caterpillars have black fur
with a dash of brown. This he says is
an unfailing sign. What piffle! Pre-
sumably he is not aware that there are
hundreds of kinds of caterpillars, some
hairy. As to the Winter having anything
to do with it, it is amusing, considering
that all caterpillars pupate before Winter
and therefore require no fur coat.

Going Cheap

A friend recently sent an ad clipped
from an English provincial newspaper.
It read: "Aeroplane wings, suitable for
covering chicken runs and garden pur-
poses, from 1/ each. If the wings cost
but 25e apiece, it looks as if a complete
airplane may be had for a dollar or so.
I assume that garden purposes includes
such an idea as a glassless greenhouse.

Hampton Court Grapes

A New York paper reports that Mrs.
E. H. Warren of Boston hopes, within a
few years, to introduce a new variety of
Grape to this country, thus adding to the
rather limited list of varieties grown
here. The new variety, by the way, is
nothing more than the old Hampton Court
vine — I am not sure as to its identity.
At all events Mrs. Warren besieged the
gardeners at Hampton Court to give her
slips of the supposedly rare Grape — may-
be it is the old Black Hambro — which,
says our mentor, has been grown for 300
years to supply the royal table. As a
"matter of fact the old vine was planted
in 1768 and far from being an extensive
vineyard producing an enormous surplus,
it merely fills one greenhouse and this
year is bearing about 7501bs. of fruit
which are being sold for the benefit of
hospitals at $1.50 a lb.

Aside from all the stupid gush handed
out in this news report, it would be in-
teresting to know whether the lady ob-
tained a permit to bring in the cuttings if
not, is it not the duty of the F. H. B. in-
spectors to visit her and explain things?

The Chemical Show

I visited the Chemical Industries exhi-
bition in New York recently and, while it
was too vast and too technical for a lay-
man like myself, I was interested in not
a few things. The numerous flower dis-
plays were a feature, especially that
surrounding the exhibit of the New Jer-
sey Zinc Co. I was interested, too, in a
lime manufacturing concern's exhibit. It
is evident that U. S. soil workers are at
last coming to realize the value of lime,
for a flasher on this exhibit indicated that
lime is being used on the land at the
rate of about twelve tons a minute.

Another exhibit of interest was that of
the Tennessee Copper and Chemical Corp.,
New York. This firm at its works in
Georgia, turns out 1000 tons of sulphuric
acid a day. Much of this acid is used for
making sulphate of copper and acid phos-
phate, both of which play a big part m
the agricultural and horticultural indus-
tries. Samples of these, together with
the raw phosphate rock were on view.
I don't pretend to remember all that I
was told about the process; as a matter
of fact, the only thing I can remember
is the neat little copper ash tray pre-
sented to me by a patient attendant.

Official Scale of Points

Used in judging F. T. D. window in cities where
our annual meetings are held,

Following established custom The F. T. D. News
will award three silver cups to the winners of first,
second and third prizes.

Competition for these awards are open to all florists
of Baltimore, whether members of the F. T. D. Asso-
ciation or not.

It has been deemed wise to make this an open,
competitive affair as an encouragement to all who de-
sire to enter the field, thereby giving the public a
greater opportunity of observing what F. T. D. Serv-
ice stands for.

Comments on the Program

First of all it is most satisfying to be able to pub-
lish this second formal program of the annual F. T. D.
meeting. It has always been our profound conviction
that however spontaneous the addresses and discus-
sions at such a gathering might be, some sort of pre-
arranged schedule of the agenda to be taken up is es-
sential to the success and celerity with which the
event is conducted. We are inclined to believe that
the continuance of this plan will contribute to a more
gloriously successful meeting than ever, this year.

Again it is good to note among the subjects for dis-
cussion, "The Future of an F. T. D. Temple." Here
is a project of which the possibilities are almost un-
limited. Already, some four years ago and again in
Oct. 1921 (page S38) we have given free rein to our
imagination in describing the "F. T. D. in 1930." at
the time of the dedieation of "the new building
erected by the association, the plans for which had,
even in that day of development, attracted the atten-
tion of architects from all over the country on ac-
count of their many unusual features and conve-
niences." In this remarkable building were centered
— each in its completely equipped domain — the vari-
ous departments of the F. T. D. service, wherefrom
members throughout the country could secure unique,
invaluable assistance and advice in every phase of
their work. This little prophecy was written as of
the year 1930, but who will say that if the discussion
next month comes up to expectations, the hopes and
anticipations may not be realized even before that
date?

Wonder is sometimes expressed as to why the F. T.
D. meetings (they are not Conventions, be it remem-
bered ) do not include the trade exhibit feature so
closely associated with most annual trade convoca-
tions. Actually the decision to get along without this
feature has proved itself a wise one. In the first
place the members who attend do so for the purpose
of discussing important matters and transacting im-
portant business ; the less they are distracted by out-

side attractions the more effectively they
can keep at work. Secondly, they all
have full opportunity to examine the sea-
son's novelties as well as standard of-
ferings at the S. A. F. and 0. H. trade
exhibit in which the majority of dis-
plays appeal primarily to retailers. Final-
ly, the removal of the necessity of show-
ing twice in one season puts less financial
burden on the exhibitors and enables them
to concentrate their efforts upon the
August showing — with benefits of various
kinds for those for whom they are made — ■
the consumer.

The florist business would be pretty
much of a sinecure if many citizens fol-
lowed the example of Charles Greer, late
millionaire of Harrison, N. Y., who, ac-
cording to the New York World, includ-
ed in his will a bequest of $4000 to
Woodlawn Cemetery where he and his
wife are buried, to be spent in the up-
keep of their graves and the annual plac-
ing there of flowers and plants. He even
went so far as to specify the kinds and
amounts of flowers to be used, as follows:
"For planting of flower beds four feet
in diameter, one on the northerly side of
the monument and one on the southerly
side, the first year with Pansies and the
next year with white Geraniums; also
mounds 1, 2, 23, 24 and 29 to be planted
first with Pansies, then with white Be-
gonias.

"It is my wish, and I so direct, that as
to mound 23, where my dear wife was
laid, on Oct. 15 of each year there be
placed five dozen white Carnations and
that for Easter Sunday there be placed
three dozen Calla Lilies upon the mound."
Oft had he "Said it with Flowers;"
Till so fond of the practice he'd grown,

That when other's graves he

Could no longer oversee,
He arranged for to decorate his own!

Trade Notes

There has been a decided and en-
couraging increase in business the past
week. The market is well supplied with
good stock; Roses have greatly improved
in quality and quantity and are very
much in demand. Carnations are improv-
ing.

There is still a quantity of outside
flowers to be had and pot plants are more
plentiful. Funeral work and decora-
tions have been quite good.

One of the loveliest and most preten-
tious weddings of the season was solemn-
ized on Wednesday last, when Miss Mar-
tha Thieme became the bride of W. K.
Noble, Jr., both of this city. The church
decorations were carried out by the Dos-
well Florists. The bridal bouquets
were arranged by the Flick Floral Co.,
and the home decorations by Ralph Tink-
ham. The combined efforts of the three
florists made a most pleasing and wonder-
ful effect.

Miss Seigwart, daughter of Charles
Seigwart, orchid grower of Baltimore,
"was an interesting visitor here last week.

A. B.

Kalamazoo, Mich.

The first week in September made a
record for heat, running as high as 98 in
the shade several days and causing some
of the city schools to close. The next
week light frosts were recorded, but just
now we are getting normal weather, and
except for the fact that the ground
is exceedingly dry, we might get along
nicely.

Business still mainly consists of
funeral work and a good hard frost will
be necessary to liven up trade in cut flow-
ers and plants. The private gardens are
well supplied with flowers of many kinds,
particularly Asters, some of which are
offered for sale at 25c. per doz., but many
more are given away, and in a city like
ours, where there are so many nice gar-
dens, this cuts into the florists business
quite considerably.

The Society of Little Gardens, held an
exhibition of Asters on the 18th and from
what I hear, quite a creditable display
was made. It was decided to make it an
annual event. As in the ease of the
Gladioli show, a number of cash prizes
were offered and the admission was free
which met with the approval of those in-
ested. It is an amateur show, and, so
far as I know, no local florists except W.
Thomas (who acted as one of the judges)
were interested, or requested to assist
in any way.

J. Vandersalm has built a new green-
house and is overhauling his heating plant.
Fred Marker also will build a small house
this Fall, I am informed.

The coal situation remains as it was,
but as the time of firing up approaches,
it becomes of more interest to the florists.
The coal can be obtained all right, but
not at contract prices. Hard coal and
coke are prohibitive in price for green-
house purposes. S. B.

RloHMOXD, Va. — J. Bernard Hobbs, of
5 W. Broad st., will remodel and erect an
addition to his residence at 8 W. Grace
st., at a cost of $15,000, for the purpose
of conducting a flower shop. Two of the
interesting features of this shop will be
the glass front and the glass show house
which will be 50ft. by 20ft.

Maryville, Mo. — Engelman & Engel-

Business Good, Outlook Likewise

The steady, firm tone of business
marks a return of more normal times. A
year ago we were experiencing quite a
depression which started this month and
increased until about the first of Febru-
ary. It began just as the Federal Re-
serve bank began its deflating program
which it carried out to the letter. This
shows that although our losses were by
far the lightest in mercantile lines, we
were quick to react and feel the pinch.
This year all potted plants offered find
a ready sale ; furthermore, it is surpris-
ing to see the quantities of stock used
up daily.

Flowers continue to be plentiful and
although many are hoping for an early
frost it is evident that we would have
to enlist help from the South should this
occur. It is yet too early for much in-
side stock, and we can put up with what
we now have to the mutual advantage of
all concerned. The Carnation is finding
favor and is again being sold across the
counter. The new crop is somewhat
short but the quality is excellent. Roses
are plentiful, but in fair demand, and the
many table decorations now in order
make good use of them, especially deco-
rations in honor of Eastern visitors. As-
ters, good, bad and indifferent, are to be
seen everywhere, and what are not sold
at the stores find their way to the market.
The singles are more popular than ever.

Bouvardia, Valley and Cecile Bruuners
are in good supply, but the orchid is out
of the question. There is, nevertheless,
quite a call for the latter flower, and
when one is wanted the customer usually
shops the town for it.

News

Dutch bulbs are arriving in ear-
nest, a carload having reached here a
few days ago from Van Waveren & Sons.
Freight and duty (especially the lattei
hereafter) serve each year to increase
the cost of bulbs at this end. What de-
crease there has been in ocean freight
has been offset by increases in trans-
continental rates. This is the earliest
date that bulbs have arrived for many a
year, In . fact a year ago some shipped
by express came later than this.

Smith's Flower Shop reports a brisk
demand for all kinds of funeral flowers.
This firm is showing some very fine
Chrysolora 'Mums that have been shipped
from the South.

The Martin & Forbes Co. is installing
a new boiler of 150 h.p. capacity at its
Haynes' place. It was shipped via the
Panama Canal, and is the largest boiler
used for greenhouse heating purposes in
this State.

The bowlers have organized and are
diligently working to the ultimate end of
perfecting a team to take Washington
scalps.

John Wilson, of the Wilson Craut
Gehr Co., is making a trip through the
Eastern States, visiting his folks and
calling on the trade.

The Swiss Floral Co. is busy harvest-
ing its crop of celebrated Petunia seed.
It Jias more than doubled its plantings
and the crop has been very satisfactory
to date.

Fred Geiger has his forms all set for
his boiler hole, but now there is a ce-
ment shortage, and he will have to wait
two weeks before he can begin to pour
the concrete.

Crantford's is showing some nice bas-
kets of various Summer flowers taste-
fully arranged. Business reports from
this shop are excellent. It will soon cele-
brate its first anniversary. H. N.

Montreal, Que.

With the advent of Autumn, when
outside flowers have run their course,
and when cold nights with frost in some
places are the rule, inside grown flowers
become more in demand. There are still
some Gladioli and Asters, however, but
these do not take the place of Roses and
Carnations. The Roses arriving' daily on
the Montreal Floral Exchange (whole-
sale) from the St. Bruno greenhouses
are good, clean and well grown. Super-
intendent R. Holmes is to be congratu-
lated on his showing.

During the -past week death has re-
moved a most worthy citizen in the per-
son of R. B. Angus, who had wonderful
gardens at Senneville as well as around
his city residence. The deceased, who
had attained the ripe old age of 92, was
in Europe only last year.

Campbells, Ley & McAllans and other
florists shared a large amount of floral
work for the funeral. A casket cover
made by Ley & McAllans was a work
of art, oyer 500 pink Roses being used
besides greenery.

The popular slogan, "Say it with
Flowers" is sometimes used where least
expected, as the following story will
show : A young minister was expostu-
lating with a landlord who had raised a
poor parishioner's rent more than 100
per cent. "If I want to hear you preach,"
the landlord said angrily, "I'll come to
church where you should do your preach-
ing." "If you were where you should
be," replied the young minister, "you
would have that privilege next Sunday.
I'm going to preach at the penitentiary.
The clergy don't always say it with flow-
ers."

A Truly Autumn Wedding

Deal Campbell's decorator has left
that firm, having been engaged by the
Chas. H. Totty Co. of New Jersey. The
last large wedding he had charge of prior
to leaving Campbell's was the Peverley
and Baillie affair, the flower effect of
which were a credit to any florist. Au-
tumn flowers in tints of gold, russet and
bronze formed the setting for this mar-
riage of Miss Isobel Marjorie Baillie to
Mr. Frederick Ridley Peverley at Knox
Creseut Church. The church was effec-
tively decorated with masses of golden
Chrysanthemums and Oak sprays against
a background of Cibotium ferns, while
at the end of the guest pews were
sheaves of the same flowers tied with
bronze tissue. The bride carried a bou-
quet of Sweetheart Roses and Valley.
The bride's attendants, four in number,
carried large arm bouquets of Mont-
bretia tied with copper and bronze tissue
to match the color scheme. Mrs. Baillie,
the mother of the bride, carried a bou-
quet of orchids while Mrs. Peverley, the
groom's mother carried red Roses.

A reception was held in the Blue Room
at the Ritz Carlton where the brde and
groom received under a bower of single
Chrysanthemums in Autumn shades.

Messrs. Ley & McAllan had charge
of the MacLaren-Westlake wedding. The
Church of St. James the Apostle, where
the nuptial knot was tied, was profusely
decorated with Gladioli, Asters, palms
and Autumn blooms as was also the
home of the bride's parents at Outre-
mont. The bride carried a shower bou-
quet of orchids and Valley, while her
maids, four in number, carried shower
bouquets of Ophelia Roses and blue Del-
phiniums. The two little flower girls
wore wreaths of Ward Roses and Forget-
menots and also carried French baskets
of the same flowers. The bride's mother
wore a corsage bouquet of Ward Roses
and orchids.

Messrs. McKenna, Hall and Robinson,
have had some important weddings,
which will be referred to in next issue.

Cincinnati, 0.

Fall openings of Queen City depart-
ment stores were a godsend to both
wholesale and retail florists here this
week. Liberal orders for cut flowers to
be distributed among patrons were placed
and the surplus of Asters, Gladioli and
Dahlias were marketed in fine shape.

One grower, Frank Dell, of Price Hill,
marketed close to 30,000 Asters during
the week through W. R. Murphy, cut-
ting from 3000 to S000 a day. Other
dealers were just as fortunate, some dis-
tributing thousands of Carnations, some
placing Snapdragons and some regulation
Fall decorations. A novelty was a large
consignment of Bittersweet from the
Kentucky Mountains, which madS an or-
namental background with its bright saf-
fron berries.

Big 'Mum Sales Looked For

Large orders were placed this
week with growers for Chrysanthemums
for the All Saints and All Soul's Days'
trade. This year, it is stated, no
'• "Mums" will be shipped in and the
growers in the Cincinnati district will be
able to take care of all the demands of
the wholesalers and their retail custom-
ers. The total number of " 'Mums" to be
distributed during that week will be close
to 100.000. it is estimated. These will be
delivered to wholesalers by truck and
the storage capacity of distributors is
expected to be tested for the week.

Inquiry at the home of C. B. Critchell,
former president of the Cincinnati Flo-
rists Society and one of the best known
wholesalers in the Midwest, brought the
information that Mr. Critchell was im-
proving. Disquieting reports were cur-
rent in the trade early in the week and
it was feared for a time that he would
not recover.

Retailers reported that the Jewish New
Year trade this season was the poorest
in many years. They attribute this to
the competition of country growers, not
florists, who were overstocked with As-
ters, Dahlias, Gladioli, Snapdragon, Sal-
via and other Fall flowers. Many retail-
ers who had intended to stock up on the
strength of orders in past years, can-
celed their orders before delivery be-
cause the business failed to materialize.

Wholesalers report that shipping busi-
ness was good, especially orders from
nearby small towns for cut flowers,
greens, Fall Roses and supplies. Stocks

merchants. The latter assert they are
powerless to make deliveries as the flower
industry is regarded as a non-essential
and florists will have to wait until fam-
ily consumers get their supplies. There
were indications this week, however, that
there might be relief soon, as soap fac-
tories are beginning to get some coal and
they too had been classed as non-essen-
tial industries contributing to the luxury
market. Dealers say they can hold out
until Oct. 15 as no frosts are expected
before then and the season here is mod-
erate. After that date it is said there is
fear of loss if relief is not given

of yellow and white " 'Mums" are begin-
ning to be ordered and the indication is
that the shipping trade in these flowers
will eclipse that of other Fall seasons by
a large margin. Blue Salvia was re-
ceived by dealers but proved to be a poor
seller on this market. The Rose crop is
moving nicely, the foliage being ample
and the buds especially beautiful and
large. Dealers believe that the surplus
of Asters, Gladioli, Dahlias and Zinnias
from non-florist growers will be ex-
hausted by the first to middle of October,
so that business will be on a more stable
basis.

Florists say they are running short of
coal because orders filed early in the
Summer are being disregarded by "coal

Waters, treasurer, announced a good bal-
ance; President S. A. McFadden, chair-
man of the Advertising Committee, re-
ported a small balance in that account.
The cooperative advertising he felt was
very effective and was well supported.

S. A. Frost gave an outline of the C.
F. G. A. convention at Montreal. The
demonstrations were especially good and
helpful. H. G. Dillemuth suggested that
similar demonstrations be given at the
club meetings. The club will support the
idea of giving the retail section a full
day at the Windsor convention in 1923.

The usual Fall 'Mum show will be ar-
ranged for as usual at the October meet-
ing.
Nomination of Officers

Iu future, nominations will be held
at the annual meeting and elections at
the October meeting. Nominations were
as follows: President, G. M. Geraghty;
vice-president. J. J. Higgins and S. A.
Frost; secretary, H. W. James; treasurer,
L. Waters; executives' (seven to be elected)
Mrs. Waters, Mrs. Moore, Miss Mearns,
E. Lye, F. Dean, G Gard, J. A. Neal,
Chas. Cooper, E. Simmons, J. J. Hig-
gins, S. A. Frost.

S. A. McFadden thanked the members
for honoring him with the presidency
for two years. As a member of the ex-
ecutive he would be better prepared to
work for the club. H. W. James told of
his visit to New York and vicinity where
he had been for the past few weeks. He
was prepared to "carry on" for another
year. This announcement was received
with cheers. L. Waters sent word that
he was retiring this year, but this went
unheeded and he was re-elected with
cheers. Refreshments concluded a very
enthusiastic meeting. On account of the
Baltimore F. T. D. meeting- the club will
hold the elections on Oct. 2.

Gardeners' and Florists' Association

The first Fall meeting of the Gar-
deners and Florists Association was held
on Sept. 18 with President F. D. Clark
who had just returned from England, in
the chair. A vote of thanks was ten-
dered Lady Eaton and P. L. Whytock
for their kindness in connection with the
annual picnic. Several new members

were elected.

issues of The Chronicle and The Ex-
change for the past two months.

F. D. Clark spoke of his visit to Europe.
The Kew and Liverpool Botanical Gar-
dens \\ere at their best, but the parks
looked different and there was nothing he
saw to compare with the Toronto Exhibi-
tion Park. Nursery grounds had gone
back and were overgrown with weeds.
Snapdragon was largely used for bedding
in Belgium and France. He visited many
cemeteries in Belgium and France; they
were true beauty spots. Mr. Hayward
spoke of his visit to the old places where
he formerly worked and was sorry he did
so. The old place in Lancashire was over-
grown with weeds. Parks are in bad shape
and there is little activity. Near Winder-
mere, however, the shrubs and Yews were
a delight.

Alex Simpson gave a comprehensive re-
port of the C. F. G. A. convention at
Montreal. There was so much to discuss
that it was decided to give up a part of
the Oct. 16 meeting to this report.

Thomas Manton, the popular grower
and retailer, gave an exceedingly inter-
esting address comparing conditions 50
years ago with those of today. He paid a
tribute to the commercial grower for the
development of flowering plants. Present
conditions were unfavorable for the pri-
vate gardener, but his day would come.

Shop, with two sons and two daughters,
were in Toronto last week on their re-
turn from a four months' visit to Europe.
They also visited Richmond Hill.

The annual Port Credit flower show
on Sept. 16 was a great success. In all
classes there were numerous entries and
the showing of Dahlias, Sweet Peas, As-
ters, Nasturtiums, Phlox, Magnolias, Snap-
dragon, etc., was especially large and beau-
tiful.

The Market

Sept. 26. — The demand for flow-
ers in the wholesale cut flower market
became more active on Friday and Satur-
day of last week, partly on account of
the Jewish holidays (during which not a
few flowers were used), and partly on
account of the prevalence of cool weather.
On Monday of this week this improved
demand continued, but, today, Tuesday,
it has fallen off sharply. It is reported
that the frost, which prevailed in some
sections on Monday night, destroyed a
considerable number of Dahlias and
other outdoor grown stock. If this re-
port proves to be true, it will undoubt-
edly have its effect on the market toward
the end of the week, in increasing the
demand for flowers grown under glass.

American Beauty Roses are in medium
large supply. Special grade blooms are
bringing 20c. to 50e. each, and those of
other grades proportionate prices. Arriv-
als of other Roses show a considerable
increase, but the falling off in the de-
mand rendered it impossible to maintain
the recent prices. This is especially true
of No. 2 grade stock. Top grade blooms
are bringing 10c. to 15c. each in general,
but Crusader of that grade is realizing
2oc, and Key 40c. No. 2 grade blooms
are fetching $2 to $3 per 100 in general.

Arrivals of Carnations are steadily in-
creasing and the quality, on account of
the cool weather, is improving. The de-
mand also shows some increase, at prices
ranging from $1.50 to $4 per 100.

Cattleyas are in much larger supply,
and the present demand does not readily
absorb them, consequently, prices show
a sharp decline, ranging from 35c. to $1
each. The medium supply of Gardenias
is meeting with a moderate demand at
•$1 to $3 per doz. White Lilies are in
small supply, and are selling at $25 to
$30 per 100. We did not note any ru-
brum or album Lilies in the market this
week. Lily of the Valley is in rather
short supply, and is realizing $3 to $10
per 100. White Bouvardia is in large
supply, but is meeting with a somewhat
better demand at 2oc. to 35e. a bunch.

Arrivals of 'Mums show a moderate
increase, and so far include only the
early yellow and white varieties, 'which
are realizing from $1.50 to $5 per doz.,
in response to a fairly good demand. Of
the outside grown flowers. Dahlias are
now the leaders. The cool weather has
done much to improve their quality, con-
sequently they are meeting with more
favor with the buyers at prices ranging
from $2 to $0 per 100 in general, but in
the case of selected blooms of the pre-
ferred new varieties. $6 to $10. In other
miscellaneous flowers, there are arrivals
of Tuberoses, bringing $1 for a doz.
stalks of blooms ; Conoclinium, the blue
variety, fetching 5e. to 25c. a bunch ;
Zinnias and Cosmos, fetching 5c. to 10c.
a bunch; a waning supply of Gladiolus
at $2 to $4 per 100 ; much smaller ar-
rivals of Asters selling at 50c. to $2 per
100 in general; a very little Delphinium
at 2oc. to 50c. a bunch ; and a small
supply of Snapdragon at 50c. to 75c. a
bunch.

All kinds of greens are meeting with a
larger demand, and Oak foliage to be
used with Chrysanthemums is now ar-
riving. With an increasing supply of
'Mums it will probably soon become a
leader among green materials.

Dahlia Exhibition

The Eighth Annual Exhibition of
the American Dahlia Society, held in this

city at the Hotel Pennsylvania on Tues-
day, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
was the leading event of the present sea-
son in this city and vicinity in the way
of floral exhibitions.

Tha Jewish New Year

The holidays of the Rosh Hasha-
nah, the Jewish New Year, which began
on Friday night. Sept. 22 at sundown,
and ended Sunday night at the same
time, increased to a considerable degree
the sales in the wholesale cut flower mar-
ket, especially those of red flowers, which
were used largely in the synagogues on
Saturday and Sunday. From sundown
on Sunday, Oct. 1, until sundown on
Monday there will be a continuation of
these holidays, of which the feature is
fasting and atonement. Flowers will,
probably, be used even more freely at
that time.

F. T. D. Meeting at Baltimore

The Transportation Committee of
The New York Florists Club, through
its chairman, Paul A. Rigo, 35 West
18th st, has mailed out an invitation to
the membership of the club to join the
delegation that will journey to Baltimore
for the annual meeting of the F. T. D.
to be held in that city, Oct. 10, 11 and
12. The party will leave on Monday,
Oct. 9, at 11.15 a.m. and will arrive in
Baltimore at 3.35 p.m. This particular
train was selected as offering the oppor-
tunity of leaving New York at a conve-
nient hour, and arriving in Baltimore
sufficiently ahead to permit the hand-
shaking and introductions, both usual
and necessary before the annual meeting
goes into session.

We are pleased to note that J. S. Fen-
rich has recovered sufficiently from the
injuries which he received in a recent
accident, to be again in his place of
business attending to his usual duties.

We noted this week at the Henshaw
Floral Co., 43 West 18th st., Lilies of
more than excellent quality. This is, by
the way, a flower which is in rather
short supply in the market at this time.
Als,, «e noted there some of the best
blooms of the Chrysanthemum October
Frost, seen this season, and plenty of
fine blooms of the variety Golden Glow.

Though the show of the American
Dahlia Society this week, of course.
overshadows everything else in the
Dahlia line, nevertheless some fine flow-
ers are arriving on the wholesale cut
flower market, and some of the best that
we have noted were seen on Tuesday at
William Mackie's. 43 W. ISth St. Among
these were noted such varieties as Queen
Elizabeth. Sequoia, Attraction, Mina,
Burgle, and Delice.

Some of the finest sprays of Physalis
we have ever seen in this city were
noted recently at the Henry M. Robin-
son Co.. 55 to 57 West 26th st. and 430
6th ave. This company is receiving a
steady supply of these and also of the
finest Dahlias now arriving in the mar-
ket.

O. A. Ladiges, the well-known retail
florist of 1702 Amsterdam ave., returned
recently from a three and a half months'
trip through Europe. While in Germany
in June, be attended the Rose Show in
Hamburg. The Roses exhibited were all
grown outside and were staged very dif-
ferently than is customary in this coun-
try. The event, in his opinion, did not
compare at all favorably with the Ameri-
can shows in excellence of blooms or in
arrangement. Such pot plants of several
kinds as were shown, were unusually
well grown, .-111,1 be saw many splendid
specimens of Cyclamen and other plants.
Besides visiting different parts of Ger-

DAHLIAS

Underbill's 20-acre Babylon Dahlia Gardens are at their very best now.

The Market

Sept. 26. — The conditions of the past
week gave every indication that the Fall
season's trade is opening nicely. Not that
there was such a large volume of business
transacted, but there was a general feeling of
satisfaction all over. There was not as much
stock to be disposed of and buying was quite
brisk as far as shipping was concerned. The
sidewalks along Wabash ave. between Lake
and Randolph sts. showed wonderful ac-
tivity all day Monday. Shipments were

piled shoulder high, while a large force of
express employees sorted out the packages for
the various routes, trains, and stations.

There is a gradual improvement in the
quality of Roses and the supply is more
readily handled than when it was in poor
condition because of warm weather. The
varieties coming in are much the same as
last season. Premier, Russell. Columbia,
Butterfly, are all leaders in their colors.
Crusader as a red is holding first place.
There is, on many occasions, more demand for
white than there is stock to meet it. In this
particular respect the market has not been
evenly balanced on colors for a long time.

Carnations, too, are improving in quality
and the supply is increasing from week to
week. There are still a lot of Gladioli and
will be until frost comes; now that the supply

is not as large they are moved with less diffi-
culty, and at prices considerably improved
over those of some weeks ago.

The Aster supply is almost at an end and
one light frost would put an end to their
existence. There are, however, some good
varieties seen. The late varieties always
show improvement over the early ones and
besides the cool weather has aided their
development. Some good stock sold the past
week for S5 per 100.

Chrysanthemums are fast becoming a
feature, but so far there is but little home
grown stock. This gives the California flower
practically full sway of the market for the
time being. These are coming now in pink,
white and yellow with the latter predominat-
ing. They are selling at from $4 to $6 per
doz.

Some of these California shipments arrive
in fairly good condition, others are not so
good. The great trouble in reviving these is
their heavy, woody stems incidental to an
eight months growth in California sunshine,
which do not take in the water as freely as
the soft stems of greenhouse grown stock.
If you ever see a wilted flower in a vase you
may be sure it has a hardwood stem that re-
fuses to take a drink. By splitting these
hard stems with a sharp knife in three or
four places a few inches apart along the lower
end of the stems, quicker revival may be
brought about. The absorption through the
end of the stems is too limited to supply
these large blooms and judicious slitting gives
additional apertures through which the
blooms can drink in the water.

The Market

Sept. 26. — With the arrival of
several light touches of frost, outdoor
stock has shortened up considerably. At
the same time greenhouse flowers are
not coming forward as freely as in some
other years partly, no doubt, for the
reason that many florists are running
their greenhouses at a lower temperature
than what would be advisable under or-
dinary circumstances. The matter of coal
supply shows signs of improvement, but
the hope that coal will be anywhere near
cheap may not be realized until much
later in the season. The demand for flow-
ers has shown decided improvement,
prices have advanced in nearly every
line, and firmness is the tone of the
market. The retail stores, almost with-
out exception, report satisfactory busi-
ness. Social functions are in vogue
again and weddings are numerous and
more elaborate than for some time back.
The demand for American Beauty
Roses has, at times, outrun the supply.
The arrivals consist mostly of medium
to top lengths and prices are from 30c.
to 75c. Other Roses are offered in suffi-
cient quantity, selling out fairly clean
each day, with prices running: from 4c.
for 9in. to 16c. for 24in. stock. Hadley
and Commonwealth sell at an advance,
up to 25c. The quality of all Roses is
improving.

Carnations are still far from even mid-
dling good, but the demand for them is
making progress and 4c. is easily ob-
tained for the best, such as they are.
The supply is behind that of former
years for this part of the season ; if it
were larger, prices would1 be sure to
slump.

The good old Summer time is about
over for Asters and Gladioli. A solid
frost in a few low lying sections has put
a crimp in both, so that anything like a
surplus is out of the question from now
on.' Asters bring from 2c. to 3c, if
good. Gladioli from 40c. to 50c. per
doz. for the best of ordinary sorts.
Schwaben and War are held at 75c. The
stems and flower spikes are becoming
short and the flowers are getting that
quizzly look which presages the end of
the season.

Some few, rather nice Sweet Peas have
shown up, making l%c. to 2c. and a few
Violets have been noticed, bringing 75c.
to $1 per 100. It looks as if Violets
would be on the short side this Winter,
as far as the supply from nearby is con-
cerned. Several growers have let up on
them, claiming that they don't bring a
new dollar for an old one.

Pansies sell fairly well at lc. or a
little over. Hardy Delphiniums find a
good demand, that is, the few that are
to be had.

White Bouvardia also go well, very
few being brought in, so far. There is
the usual amount and variety of miscel-
laneous flowers from outdoors and the
greenhouse, and an overlarge supply of
Helichrysums, which therefore have to
be sold at ruinous prices at times.

Cattleya labiata brings $15 per doz. ;
C. Fabia, $18 to $24. There are some
C. Gaskelliana and Bowringiana and Cy-
pripediums and Oneidiums are also to be
had, the former at $4 per doz. for in-
signe and $6 for hybrids. Oneidiums
bring- 6c. to 8c. per bloom. The supply
of and demand for orchids has increased
somewhat of late. Lily of the Valley is
much wanted, but little is to be had ;
the price is therefore 12c. to 15e. for
good stock.

Potted plants of Ficus elastica, Be-
gonia melior, Cyclamen and Boston ferns
sell well at good figures. The supply of
Asparagus Sprengeri and S. plumosus is
enough for all requirements and prices
are the same as usual.

A much better tone was discernible on
the market last week. The supply of
stock had not changed, but the demand
had. Good Valley and Roses were at a
premium on Mole st. Sept. 23 and no
wholesaler could complain of a full ice-
box over the week end.

Gladioli still show an occasional strain
of quality and will probably be available
in decreasing quantities for the next week
or two. Asters are still an item on the
market, with some nice hardy stock ar-
riving.

But the big factor is the Dahlia. Excel-
lent stock, most of it, and enough to
meet demand. The only possible disaster
would be a killing frost, and at this
writing, Sept. 26, this seems hardly likely.
Chrysanthemums are beginning to appear
at several establishments, but the general
opinion seems to be that 'Mums on a
Dahlia market are not good "biz."

Carnations are returning bit by bit and
some fair stock was noticed last week.
Roses are in demand, but quality stock is
not plentiful.

Jewish New Year undoubtedly helped
in the slight flurry of Sept. 22. From now
on business is due to improve step by
step. The Summer troubles are pretty
well over. Cheer up!

(THE SUPERIOR NICOTINE DUST)

Highly efficient in the control of all aphis, green fly, white fly, mealy bug, thrips,

when exposed to the air. This gas envelops the entire plant insuring death to all
nsects. It will not injure the most delicate foliage.

Excellent for either indoor or outdoor work. Packed in 5-, 50-, 100-lb. containers.

day, coming via automobile. He left the
Coast Sept. 1, and the 23 days consumed
by the trip proved most enjoyable al-
though constant duty at the wheel was
naturally tiring. He is expecting to lo-
cate in the Bast, and is looking for a
nursery with greenhouses in the New
England States.

Professor Alfred C. Hottes of the De-
partment of Horticulture of Ohio State
University, Columbus, 0., returned Sept.
27 from a three months' trip to England,
France, Holland, Belgium and Germany,
visiting a great number of the leading
seedsmen, florists and nurserymen of those
countries. He was a welcome caller at the
office of The Exchange.

Boston

(Continued from page 896)
In and Around Boston

Leonard Cousins of Concord Junc-
tion is mourning the loss of his father,
who died at the age of 91 years and was
buried Sept. 18.

George Noyes at the Flower Exchange
Market is receiving daily shipments of ex-
tra well grown Carnations from the
Creeper Hill greenhouses.

September 15 witnessed some lively
scenes and struggles in both of Boston's
flower markets, when the unfortunate pos-
sessors of outlawed straw headgear were
made to see the error of their way as
soon as the boys managed to get within
reaching distance. Some strenuous, if
bloodless, skirmishes took place in the
neighborhood of certain stalls, especially
those of I. Mirsky, Wm. Hastings and
Moe Liebman. Without the least com-
punction, George Hamer packed the re-
mains of the sporty straw hats into his
paper press.

The Boston Rose Co., at the Flower Ex-
change Market, is greatly pleased with
the reception accorded the new Rose
Commonwealth, of which it is receiving
substantial shipments daily from the
Montgomery Co. greenhouses of Hadley,
N. H. This beautiful introduction is
more than meeting the expectations of
discriminating retailers who find it a
flower they have long been looking for
and are predicting for it a great future.

Roy Parsons, sales agent for The Mann
Co. of Randolph, at the Flower Exchange
Market, was the center of quite an ova-
tion last Tuesday, when he made his ap-
pearance again after getting over a seri-
ous sickness which confined him to the
hospital for the last two months.

Arthur Kidder, the noted Violet grow-
er of Lincoln, Mass., who has been under
the doctor's care since July 1, is reported
to be slowly improving, although still a
very sick man. William Patterson of
Wollaston, who has also had a hard time
of it for months past and who had to
undergo several operations, is also gain-
ing. Both of the above mentioned gentle-
men have hosts of sincere friends among
the florists' trade, who earnestly wish for
their speedy recovery.

Why is it that the boys in the market
must everlastingly make Moe Liebman's
life a burden? Now, liss'n to this: E. A.
Newman, Woburn, Mass., brings to Moe's
stall a monster Hubbard Squash, one of
those that tip the scales at thirty pounds.
Great excitement in the market. All the
boys congratulate Moe on his good luck,
whole swarms of them. Moe turns his
back to tell a customer that Carnations
are now 4c. and "whup-dich," mister, the
Squash is gone. Moe engages an X-ray
expert, who locates lost ingredient of fu-
ture Thanksgiving pies and now said
Squash is safely stored away in the safe
of treasurer William Thurston. But does
Moe know it is safe with Billy? He also
likes pie.

F. R. Pierson, Tarrytown, N. Y., was a
welcome visitor to Boston last week.

The Leominster Floral Co., Leomin-
ster, Mass., has been sending good con-
signments of handsomely flowered Cycla-
men to their salesman, I. (Pansy) Lieb-
man in the Flower Exchange Market for
the last three weeks. Although it is
early in the season for this class of
plant, they find a ready sale at good
prices, being of popular size and exceed-
ingly well grown. The Leominster Floral
Co. is well prepared for the coming holi-
days with every sort of seasonable stock.
The greenhouses contain.' at present 21,000

Cyclamen of all sizes, up to lOin. pots.
Poinsettias, Begonias, Cherries and other
pot plants are represented in monster
blocks and, for Thanksgiving time, there
will be some 60,000 Chrysanthemums to
cut. Some 25,000 Hydrangeas of the
best varieties will be ready for Easter
and Memorial Day; also thousands of
Roses, etc. The firm finds that pot plants
sell better every year. The trucks of the
company deliver plants within a radius
of over 100 miles, clear down to Hart-
ford, Conn. Much of the success in out-
side orders is due to the exertions of
Lawrence Elwood Hollingsworth, the
traveling salesman, who is the son of the
president of the company. Joseph Fuller,
the founder of the greenhouse establish-
ment, is the treasurer.

The New Market Building

The florist trade of Boston and vi-
cinity is much interested in the an-
nouncement that the Boston Flower Ex-
change, Inc., has b'ought the Cyelorama
Building on Tremont St., where the com-
bined flower markets will make their
home for the future. According to ru-
mors, the price paid for the property is
$170,000 and $130,000, it is said, will be
expended to transform the building for
present needs. At a meeting, Sept. 18,
the committee which had charge of select-
ing and purchasing the new site, was dis-
solved and a new committee chosen which
is to oversee the planning and execution
of necessary alterations for the new mar-
ket. These alterations will require the
demolition of a considerable part of the
present structure, but it is confidently ex-
pected that the market will be ready for
occupancy by Jan. 1. The new quarters
"will provide some 30,000 sq. ft. of floor
space, about double that of the two old
markets combined. There will also be
considerable space available for renting to
stores, etc. The Cyelorama building is
situated on Tremont st. and can be
reached from the Park st. subway by the
Tremont st. surface cars. It is between
Clarendon and Berkeley St., not far from
the Clarendon Hotel and National Thea-
tre, therefore, in one of Boston's most
promising business sections.

The Cyelorama building was erected
some 30 years ago, when the battle of
Gettysburg was staged and had a run of
several years. After this spectacle lost
its attraction, a similar one, the siege of
Paris, replaced it and finally the building
was given over to bicycle races and the
fistic arena. Many exciting events took
place therein. In the end, it became the
Armory A. A. and at present is occupied by
a large garage concern, which will vacate
it by Oct. 1. The new market will afford
good parking facilities and will be pro-
vided with every modern convenience and
many things that were sadly needed in the
old markets. The choice of the new lo-
cation, together with the promise of a
modern home for the market, is favorably
received by the great majority of stock-
holders, growers, salesmen and others in-
terested in the florist trade.

The old greenhouses on Cottage St., that
have served as the city's conservatories
for years, are being taken apart. They
will be reconstructed and form part of
the large conservatories that the city is
conducting at Franklin Park.

John. Eiseman, the Beacon Florist, 7
Beacon St., formerly associated with the
brothers Golub, has reorganized his busi-
ness which is now known as The Beacon
Florist, Inc. One of the new partners is
Benny Mirsky.

Big Job for T. Galvin, Jr.

Thos. F. Galvin, jr., on Devon-
shire St., had the decorations for the re-
union of the partners, heads of depart-
ments and salesmen of the various
houses of the two great banking firms,
Harris, Forbes & Co., of Boston and Har-
ris Trust & Savings Bank of Chicago, 111.
The festivities took place at the home of
the first mentioned firm, 24 Federal St.,
Boston, where the first two floors contain-
ing the offices were made to resemble a
Rose garden with American Beauty and
other Roses. The roof of the eleven story
building was transformed into a roof
garden with screens formed of Southern
Smilax and slender Red Cedars enclosing
rows of tables and the buffet. The tables
were ornamented with centerpieces of
Gladioli and greens and were shielded
from the sun by immense Japanese um-
brellas. The decorations for the dinner
which took place at the Algonquin Club,
on the same day, Sept. 23, with 200 people
present, were carried out in blue and

gold, with yellow annual Chrysanthemums
and blue Bachelor Buttons.

Geo. Severns, florist, of Olympia, Wash.,
stopped over in Boston for a few days
and investigated the flower markets,
wholesale and retail stores in the city
and growing establishments nearby.

James Phelan, State fuel administrator,
is making a tour of the western part of
Massachusetts, relative to looking over the
coal situation.

Saturday, Sept. 23, was a quiet day at
the flower markets on account of the Jew-
ish holiday. The absence of George
Hamer, caretaker at the Exchange Flower
Market, intensified the funeral gloom
which pervaded the big hall, for his voice
was not heard in the land of bargains.
Poor George had the misfortune to
wrench his ankle, while on duty and is
under the doctor's care.

Frank McDonald of Dolansky-McDon-
ald Co. is receiving congratulations on
his appointment to the City Planning
Board by his Honor, Mayor James J.
Curley of Boston.

H. M. Robinson & Co., Inc., are receiv-
ing their new supplies of hardy ferns.
These ferns show exceptional quality, be-
ing hard and unusually well formed and
colored. Henry Robinson reports that the
supply is very much restricted on account
of damages done to the crop by some
new sort of worm that is disfiguring the
fronds, wherefore often one-half of the
pickings has to be sorted out and dis-
carded. The firm has been and is now en-
joying great activity and the large store
and office force is often kept busy until
a late hour to make it possible to get
out all orders on time. This firm will go
to any exertion to accomplish this at all
times.

Gardeners and Florists Club, Boston

The Gardeners and Florists Club
of Boston resumed its monthly meeting
Sept. 19 in Horticultural Hall with an
attendance of about 75 members. Presi-
dent Wm. H. Judd occupied the chair.
Secretary Wm. N. Craig read the report
of the club picnic, held in July, which,
thanks to the many generous contribu-
tions, showed a substantial surplus to be
turned into the treasury. Resolutions on
the death of Patrick Welch, who was a
prominent and valued member of the club,
since its inception and at one time its
president, were submitted by the commit-
tee, consisting of Henry Penn, Wm. R.
Nicholson and Samuel J. Goddard. These
resolutions were accepted and ordered to
be spread on the records and a copy there-
of to be sent to the bereaved family.

The secretary read the applications for
six new memberships, which were favor-
ably acted upon. A communication from
the Ohio district of the National Cut
Flower Growers Association, recommend-
ing better grading and the standardiza-
tion of flowers and fruits, also a schedule,
demonstrating the proposed rules for grad-
ing was read and the club unanimously
voted to support the measure.

The secretary announced that the next
meeting will be held on Oct. 24 instead
of Oct. 17, because the hall will not be
available on the regular date for the meet-
ing.

No other business coming forward, the
club listened to the reciting of vacation
experiences! by G. Thommen and Her-
man H. Bartsch. The former told about
climate, environs and vegetation in Flori-
da, where he spent three enjoyable weeks.
Mr. Bartsch praised the beauty and hos-
pitality of the city of Montreal, Canada,
where he attended the convention of the
Society of Canadian Florists. The tales
of both speakers proved that both had
a wonderful time and are waiting to re-
peat the experience again.

The exhibition table showed fruiting
branches of flowering Crabs and Chionan-
thus virginica, from Wm. N. Craig; El-
berta Peaches from Walter H. Golby and
five varieties of Melons, grown under
glass from James Donald, besides several
varieties of Celery.. The first exhibitor
was awarded a vote of thanks, while the
other two each, received a report of
merit. The Melons were pronounced ex-
cellent eating by those who managed to
get a piece.

The hour was after 11 when, after the
usual collation, the meeting broke up.

"World Series" Saturday

The teams of Biekmore and Bayers-
dorfer now tie for first place honors and
the possession of the Campbell cup, each
with a percentage of .714. In other
words, it's a case of a deciding game be-
tween them. Saturday afternoon, Sept.
30, at 3 p.m., on the Belmont diamond, is
the great occasion when "Greek meets
Greek," or to bring the old simile up to
date, "Greek meets Turk."

Needless to say, the wholesale market
will be there en masse. Bayersdorfers
seem to be the favorites, though Jack Ber-
ger announces he will root for Biekmore.
Another point to be considered is the mat-
ter of practice. Bayersdorfer men have
not had the same opportunity to keep in
trim as have Bickmore's crew. For our
part we adopt the motto: A fair fight and
no . favorites and may the best men win.

A recent acquisition to the interior
decorations at Eugene Bernheimer's is a
handsome mahogany framed color print
of the making of the first American flag
by Betsy Ross. The inscription reads:
"Presented to Eugene Bernheimer of
Philadelphia, Pa., by the American Flag
House and Betsy Ross Memorial Associa-
tion for his patriotic cooperation in hon-
or of the Philadelphia Chapter National
American War Mothers, June 14, 1922."

"Jake" Deutscher of the Philadelphia
Wholesale Florists Exchange had some
nice Statice the other day. We can
hardly pass the occasion to compliment
him on some fine Valley we noticed, as
well.

R. J. Glymp of C. W. Baldwin, Scran-
ton, Pa., was in town Sept. 25 hunting for
greenhouse men. He returned to Scran-
ton successful. Other visitors were John
House of W. A. Wilburg, Bethlehem, Pa.;
John Greenhalgh of the city parks com-
mission, New Orleans, La.; and Henri
Guernat, Virginia Hot Springs, Va.

Retailers

Floral tributes sent by the St. John
Chapter of the Artisans to Victor I. Ride-
nour, who is ill with pneumonia, made a
wonderful showing: Mr. Ridenoun, at
time of writing, was steadily improving.

The Muller establishment at 8th and
Walnut had some fine Gladioli Sept. 26.
These blooms were obtained direct from
the growers.

The past August was 30 per cent ahead
of last year and September promises to
show an even larger increase at the
London Flower Shop. This firm is mak-
ing extensive changes in its floor econ-
omy.

J. Habermehl's Sons at the Bellevue-
Stratford had a Fall window in gold,
green and purple last' week. Dahlias
supplied the color tones with a solid
bank of ferns and palms filling the back.

Robert Crawford, Jr., was busy with
funeral work Sept. 26. "Bob's" latest
prophecy is that the Winter will be a
good one provided the weather man is
courteous.

Pennock Bros, had a fine display of
debutantes' boxes and baskets Sept. 26
and reported good sales. The Fall sea-
son is on.

The Terminal Flower Shop was busy
Sept. 26 and Mr. Kreuger says business
has been picking up nicely of late.

Mansfield, Mass. — Fred Reed, Glad-
iolus grower of West Mansfield, cap-
tured 11 of the 15 prizes offered by the
New England Gladiolus Association at

A Sure Cure for Rose Bugs

This is not the Rose beetle season, but,
lest the fact slip our mind before next
June when we are sure to be bombarded
with inquiries as to "how to fight bugs,"
we must record the information that an
eastern professor of horticulture in the
course of some bird studies, observed a
single hen grouse devour 2000 Rose beetles
in one day. Our advice, therefore, is that
each Rose grower provide himself each
Spring with a number of grouses or
grice or whatever you call 'em, and keep
them moderately hungry until the beetles
begin to appear. (But don't ask us what
to feed them on up to this time, or what
to do with them after July, when the
pests disappear.)

|yCelosias]!are still popular and continue a
feature of the market. There are some Sweet
Peas coming in, but in no volume to make
them a feature of importance. There are
some Easter Lilies, but the supply of Valley
and orchids are on the increase. Bittersweet
has been quite a feature- in all the retail
stores for the past few weeks. Boxwood and
southern Smilax are coming in freely.

A. Lange is the first of the retailers to
start advertising in the local papers. He
had an attractive ad. in the Tribune Friday
featuring Columbia Roses, baskets of assorted
flowers. Chrysanthemums, and potted plants.
Otto H. Atnling, the well-known Maywood
(111.) Rose grower, who has been spending
the past two months in Europe is expected
home about Oct. 1.

Howard Muir, who started in business last
Spring at the Washington Park Flower Shop,
has found business good in his neighborhood
and is making preparations for a large Fall
trade.

Many of the wholesale houses as well as
some of the seed houses worked with short
help Saturday on account of the Jewish New
Year.

Guy French of the A. B. C. who is just
back from a trip to St. Louis states that
great preparations are being made there for
the exhibition of the Chrysanthemum So-
ciety of America next November. He also
tells of the new and wonderful establishment
built by the Lord & Burnham Co. for the
St. Louis Wholesale Cut Flower Co. Two
new houses 60ft.x400ft. are now planted in
Roses. There are uptothe minute service
buildings, as well as cottages for the em-
ployees, all planned by the untiring Dave
Geddis, and brought to final completion
within 90 days from the commencement of
operations. Mr. French estimates 30,000
Rose plants in these new houses, which will
give the company a steady supply of stock a
little later on.

H. R. Lindamood of Withville, Va., spent
a few days here the past week on his way
home from a trip to Idaho and points in
Utah where he went last July for a vacation
Ernst Rober, who came here on a visit
from Los Angeles, Cal., returned home the
past week. He is in the Geranium propagat-
ing business and booked many orders for
rooted cuttings for Sprmg delivery.

A. T. Hey, secretary of the Illinois State
Florists Association, was in the city Monday
and states that preparations are under way
for a Chrysanthemum show in Danville
under the auspices of the association next
November. He is waiting to hear from the
local committee there before making a final
announcement.

The Commercial Flower Growers of
Chicago have gone on record as favoring
the Daisy as the National Flower (see
report in wide measure pages) . Illinois
Congressmen and Senators are to be ap-
prised of the fact and their aid solicited
to _ help accomplish the selection. R. J.
Windier is heartily in favor of the Daisy.
He says its cultivation was but a drop
in the bucket of the growers' interests so
they could conscientiously endorse it and
not be accused of commercialism. He
states, however, that were it adopted as
the National Flower, hybridizers would go
to work and in a few years we would
have Daisies with 4ft. stems and blooms
6in. in diameter!

J. Otto Thilow of the Henry A. Dreer
Co., Philadelphia, Pa., will deliver a lec-
ture on "Flowers from Snow to Snow,"
in Fullerton Hall in the Art Institute on
Oct. 23 at 2.30 p.m. under the auspices
of the Woman's National Farm and Gar-
den Association. Flower lovers, regard-
less of whether they are amateur, profes-
sional or otherwise, are cordially invited.
W. P. Hall of Hall & Robertson, Mon-
treal, Can., has been here for the past
week during which he sold his interest in
the business to George Reed for several
years connected with the Ernst Wienhoe-
ber establishment on Elm st. Mr. Reed
is making his arrangements to close up
his business with the Wienhoeber Co. in
order to assume his new duties across the
border. Mr. Hall will go into the grow-
ing business for the wholesale trade. Bert
Cole formerly of Montreal now with Geo.
Wienhoeber Co. spent much time with Mr.
Hall while here, the two being old
friends in Montreal.

Peter Pearson, who is the prime mover
in the Uptown Chicago Exposition, has
announced through the city papers that
there will be at the forthcoming show
some new Chrysanthemums from the
Euckbee greenhouses at Rockford never
before exhibited. Arrangements are also

made for the exhibition daily of the new
Rose America from the E. G. Hill estab-
lishment at Richmond, Ind., and of Com-
monwealth from the greenhouses of the
A. N. Pierson Co. at Cromwell, Conn.

Geo. Kranz of Ottumwa and Emil
Kranz of Muscatine, la., who were recent
visitors here, each placed an order with
the American Greenhouse Mfg. Co. for a

houses. The construction work is to be
commenced at once.

T. E. Waters and Fred Lautenschlager
motored to Niles Center Sunday where all
arrangements were made for the next

Michigan ave. is being widened from
Twelfth st. to Thirty-third, to give more
room for the tremendous automobile traf- ■
fie on that popular thoroughfare. This
at the same time reduces considerably
the width of the sidewalks. This is a
most untoward circumstance, since your
scribe has recently taken up his abode
on the Boul. Mich, and has more use for
the sidewalk than for auto space.

Through a mistake it was stated last
week that the large store of W. J. Smyth
on Thirty-first and Michigan was being
partitioned oft' to make room for another
business. It was but temporarily closed
for repairs and is open now with a
wonderful array of Fall flowers and
decorative plants.

Mme. Berta Barta, professional florist

until it was abolished during the late
war. She has been in Chicago for some
time and is now writing a series of
articles for the monthly bulletin pub-
lished by the Woman's National Farm
and Garden Association, 1728 Stevens
Building, Chicago.

Seattle, Wash.

Trade Notes

There is little to report just at
present, business being about the same as
reported last week. The supply of out-
door blooms is still coming in quite plen-
tifully, and Gladioli are practically a
glut. Every store is loaded up with them,
the result of supplies emanating from the
casual grower in addition to those shipped
in by the commercial grower. Verily, the
"Summer complaint" is with us all.

Roses of fine quality are coming in plen-
tifully and Chrysanthemums are also ar-
riving in fair quantity.

Bryan Hammond of the local wholesale
house reports out of the city trade good
and this outlet for surplus bloom acts as
a safety valve on the home market.

Some fine Solanmns and Spiraeas are
appearing in several stores, also some fina
batches of mixed ferns.

Lily Growing a la Seattle

At Rosaia Bros, some eye openers
in Lilium auratum were seen, and at the
suggestion of P. F. Rosaia, Bob Newcomb,
Jake Umlaff, foreman of city parks, who
is our local authority on Lilies, and your
correspondent, accompanied him on a tour
to investigate the source of supply. We
found it in the back garden of a modest
home in West Seattle, presided over by a
lady. The Lilies formed the boundary
between two city lots and were growing
in a space 20ft. long by 4ft. wide, which
looked as though the ground had not been
disturbed for years. We were informed
the plants had not been divided or lifted
for three years. They were artistically
(?) tied up to a 2x4 scantling nailed on
top of other pieces driven into the ground.
They say results talk; in this case, how-
ever, we talked about results, and how
they were obtained. Bob Newcomb told
me all you Easterners were from Missouri,
and begged P. F. to get photos to sub-
stantiate our case; however, they are not
forthcoming at present; so as I have good
backers in the flesh with me I'll take a

chance. I think I can beat Sam Dunlap's
hsh story anyway.

Those blamed Lilies measured on the
upper side lift, in height, lift., 3in., to
be exact. I counted 16 expanded blooms
and 19 nearly so on one stalk, 26 blooms
and buds on another, and then got tired.
Besides, Bob and Jake got so excited we
had to take them to the auto. Anyway,
P. F. vouches for the fact that the lady
grower will get something over $100 from
that patch of Lilies at the rate of the 10c.
per bloom he paid for them. Now you
can do your own calculating, and let me
out.

From here we proceeded to Thomas,
Wash., to visit the Thomas Floral Co.,
which is the growing plant of Rosaia
Bros. What we saw there I hope to
write up in a future article. On our
journey home, we put friend Newcomb on
the train at Auburn, Wash., en route to
Walla-Walla (not to the penitentiary),
Spokane, and points east. By-the-by,
Bob has lined up some pretty tine stocks
of Spiraeas, which he is going to tell you
fellows about when he arrives East.

Talking with friend- Jake Umlaff, I
learn that the Seattle Parks Department
has initiated an apprentice system, hop-
ing thereby to obtain a supply of prop-
erly trained foremen who will be conver-
sant with the varied requirements of city
parks. Youngsters with a high school ed-
ucation, with a liking for horticulture,
18 years old, will serve for three years
under Jake's tuition. During that period
they will receive instruction in arboricul-
ture, lawns, propagation, greenhouse rou-
tine work, etc.; they will then be drafted
to the various city parks as park labor-
ers, and as vacancies for foremen occur,
preference will be given them for the
appointment. Three lads are at present
under training. Geo. Cooper.

St. Louis, Mo.

A visit to the market during the
past week showed a great improvement
in the quality of the stock. Roses, es-
pecially, are showing better color, and any
other stock of good quality is easily dis-
posed of. Local shipments of Gladioli
are fast coming to a close, and some
Northern shipments are seen. These
bring a fair price compared with those
brought in during the recent hot spell.
Carnations are coming slowly; short
stemmed Asters are now quoted at 3c. to
5c. Chrysolora Chrysanthemums are com-
ing from the Coast and are on the coun-
ters of the wholesalers. Local 'Mums
(Smith's Advance in white and yellow)
are quoted at $3 to $4 per doz.

Cool nights are working wonders. In
a short time outdoor stock will be prac-
tically out of the market. The first week
in October, festivities open up, and a
general increase in business will follow.
The next meeting of the St. Louis Flo-
rists Club will take place at Phil Goebel's
country place. This will be the last out-
door meeting of the year. The November
meeting will be held at the Coliseum dur-
ing flower show week.

A visit to the Windier Wholesale Floral
Co., disclosed a well assorted stock of
seasonable flowers, some especially fine
Gladioli, and a good stock of Roses, Car-
nations and miscellaneous flowers.

H. G. Berning is taking a business trip
for a few days; meanwhile everything will
be run in good order by George Kirchner
and his faithful staff.

Quite a few florists are now advertis-
ing in the local papers.

George H. Angermueller is receiving
some choice stock these days. His supply
department has always something new
to offer.

Grimm and Gorly had a special sale of
Boston ferns the past week.

Now that cooler weather has arrived,
our "Say it with Flowers" Bowling League
is getting busy.

The various committees appointed by
the Flower Show Association are actively
at work.

Business Difficulties

Milwaukee, Wis. — Erwin J. Hamme,
a well known florist, who has been en-
gaged in business at 130 West Main st.,
Wauwatosa, a suburb of Milwaukee, has
filed a petition in bankruptcy. He lists
his liabilities at $33,593.53, including un-
secured claims which total $9101. Mr.
Hamme says his assets are worth $15,-
486, of which property claimed exempt
is valued at $5,607.50.

Heating Queries

I am building a small greenhouse 18ft.x
34ft. house to contain about 1000ft. of
glass. I wish to heat this house with hot
water. The method of piping this house
is somewhat perplexing to me as I would
like to do the work myself and not hav-
ing had any experience I hardly know
how to proceed, but have worked out the
following system, but do not know if it is
practical. My plan of piping is as fol-
lows: Conduct flow pipe as high as pos-
sible above the boiler and thence to the
far end of the house, returning same to
boiler through four coils, two to be run
through center of house overhead con-
sisting of four coils, each of lV4in. and one
coil on each side of the house below glaz-
ing sill to consist of six runs each of
l%in. pipe. I do not know which is best
to use in making up these coils, whether
to use return bends or cast headers, tak-
ing water into coils at the top of headers
and returning same to boiler from bottom
of header. I think that I can arrange
to have 7ft. or 8ft. of fall from highest
point of flow line to return in boiler
Should flow pipe be raised about one inch
in every ten feet from boiler or lowered?
Also, at what pitch should I place the
coils? Will one 2in. flow pipe carry suf-
ficient water to run the above set of
coils, to heat house to a temperature of
50 degs. night when temperature is zero'
F. W. B., Ohio.
— To maintain a temperature of from
50 to 55 degs. at night, when the mer-
cury outside is at zero in your 18ft.x34ft
greenhouse having equivalent to 1000 sq.
ft. of exposed glass surface, I figure will
require 290 sq. ft. of hot water radiation
which is equivalent to 767 lineal feet of
l%in. pipe. One 2in. flow main would be
too small for this amount of radiation I
would advise using a 2% in. flow. Thirty-
four lineal ft. of 2%ln. main is equal to
26 sq. ft. of radiation, leaving 264 sq ft
for the coils which is equal to 607 lineal
^ °f I1/* P'Pe or practically 18 lines
of 114 pipe 34ft. long.

These coils can be distributed through-
out the house to best suit the arrangement
of the beds or benches. It makes little
difference whether the highest point of
the main is at the boiler end, or end
furthest from the boiler in a 34ft. house
but be sure to air vent the highest point
of the main. If the highest point of the
mam is at the boiler end, grade it down at
least one inch to 10ft. or more if pos-
sible. If the high point is at end fur-
thest from boiler, grade it up lin 10ft
or more if possible. Connect the main to
the coils at far end of house and grade
all coils down to the boiler, giving them a
down grade of at least 4in. in length of
house. Do not use return bends. Of
course you will require an expansion tank
the bottom of which should be at least
one foot above • the highest point of the
overhead main. J. N. McAkthub.

GREENHOUSES

For the man who is just starting in the vegetable or flower-
growing business, the King 2 lx 50-foot semi-iron greenhouse is
proving to be a popular size and style. (The 21-foot width can also be furni«hed

in 25,- 75- and 100-foot lengths).

It's built the King way — light and strong, and it keeps the
weather out and lets all the sunshine in. It's a dandy for turning
out the "firsts" and a great many growers claim that it has not
only given them their start in business but has made enough
money to enable them to add to their ranges.

Send today for bulletin 40C and facts and figures concerning
the size in which you're interested. We'll be glad to mail them

St. Paul and Minneapolis

P. N. Hermes is cutting some fine Roses
these days, but this occupation does not
prevent his trying to bag a few ducks
during nice hunting weather.

Theo. Wirth of the Minneapolis Park
Board is spending a short vacation in
Omaha, Neb.

Business has been improving steadily
on account of the many Fall parties and
weddings. Many kinds of stock are
scarce just at present. The exceedingly
dry, hot weather of early September des-
troyed outside stock and in some cases
damaged greenhouse stock. Good weather
since the rains of last week is helping to
right matters somewhat.

State Florist Club Elections

The following officers were elected
at the annual meeting of the Minnesota
State Florists Association, held at the
Midway Club, Sept. 21: President, Max
Kaiser; vice-president, R. A. Latham;
secretary, LeRoy Cady; treasurer, A.
.Launtzen. Executive committee: Hans
Rosasker, O. J. Olson, Theodore Wirth
and Hugh Will.

The secretary reported a steady growth,
both in numbers and funds, the past
year. The association now has 130 mem-
bers, 112 of which are in good standing.

Big Plans for November Show

The General Flower Show Com-
mittee reported the selection of Dr. Allen
as manager of the Flower Show to be
held in Kenwood Armory, Minneapolis,
Nov. 11 to 16. Louis Boeglin will be su-
perintendent. The final premium list, in-
cluding prizes amounting to about $5000,
will be ready for distribution about Oct.
1. Nearly $1000 has been offered_ as
special premiums by firms and individ-
uals. Some fine effects are promised by
the decorating committee. Six nursery
firms have promised to make exhibits in
the Armory Annex. A late Fall style
show will be a feature and there will be
music and other interesting attractions in
addition to a fine floral exhibition. Ex-
hibits have been promised from many
firms outside the twin cities. It is hoped
to sell a large number of tickets in ad-
vance instead of raising a guarantee fund.
This advance sale will be a publicity aid
in itself.

On Oct. 3 a big flower show booster
banq.net will be held at the Elks Club,
Minneapolis. There will be several fine
talks, complete plans of the flower show
will be announced and other interesting
things will take place. All florists are
urged to attend, whether members of the
associations or not. At all events, the
flower show must be boosted by every-
body from now until Nov. 11 if it is to
be a success. C. N. R.

Summit, N. J. — The Gaffney property
on Morris ave., East Summit, has been
rented to William Lannberg, who has
plans to convert same into a nursery.

What One Girl,

One Fern, and One Dollar,

Did For Fraser

Which One Would You Say is Fraser ?

The other day I was browsing through an old file of
the Wellesley College News and bumped into an item
that made me sit right up and take notice. It was
about an interview with Fraser. One John A. Fraser
of Wellesley, Mass., who has greenhouses and a flower
shop just outside the college grounds.

The item in the college paper quotes Mr. Fraser as
saying: "My business was started just seven years
ago, by one Wellesley girl who bought one fern for
one dollar. That dollar now hangs on my wall,
framed in state."

That sale suggested to Mr. Fraser what the students'
demands for flowers could be, especially if suggestions
for their purchases were properly presented to them.

Today he has five greenhouses, and a fine brick service
building and flower shop. His last house is one of our

Number Two Construction, 40 feet wide. Says his next
move is going to be a show house. After he signed the
order for the 40 foot house, he pushed back his chair
and remarked: "I have always had an ambition to have
a Lord & Burnham house. Now suppose my next
ambition will be to have another."

Just to give you an idea of the business he does with
the college girls: on Easter last, eighty-five of them sent
flowers home. The girls' parents are continually wiring
flowers. So large is his F. T. D. business on Xmas,
Easter and Mother's Day, that he has a branch of the
telegraph office right in his shop.

All of which gives you a hint of what an up-and-comer
he is. Unless all signs fail, it won't be long before you
will be reading about that show house he h s already
made his plans to build.

Although located on an estate, its sole intention is that of producing the greatest amount
and highest quality of flowers, fruits and vegetables. That's why it was shorn of all
ornamental features.

The construction is exactly that used in the commercial growers' houses, where the
height of production and profit must go hand in hand.

It was erected for Mrs. M. A. Wilks, daughter of the late Hetty Green.

m

The workroom was designed to give ample
space for not alone the potting and packing,
but storage room, office for the Superinten-
dent, and rooms above for the men.

For the handling of the potting and
packing of houses such as these, 25 feet
wide and 100 feet long, this workroom is
none too large.

Impressions of the International Iris
Conference

By John C. Wister, President American Iris
Society

THE proceedings of the International Iris Con-
ference at Paris, May 27, 1922, were of great
interest to American gardeners, not so much be-
•ause of the papers there presented, valuable though
nany of them are, but because it gave the Iris grow-
ers of the different countries a chance to get together
md talk over their problems. This, I feel, will have
mportant bearing on the future, as no amount of cor-
respondence can take the place of discussion such as
ive had on that day and for several weeks before and
ifterwards with the French, English and Dutch
;rowers.

When the American Iris Society was asked to par-
icipate officially, it decided to concentrate its recom-
mendations on the formation of an International Com-
mittee limited to a few persons representing each
country, so that this committee could keep in con-
stant touch by correspondence, and with hopes that it
flight meet in the different countries every five or ten
ears.

Nomenclature Troubles

The first great problem for this committee to under-
take is the troublesome question of nomenclature. As
is known- to all readers of The Florists Exchange,
plant names are in intolerable confusion. Endless
repetitions take place in the names of all plants. One
of the worst cases in Iris is the name Sapho which
has been used for five distinct varieties, but the name
Queen Mary is even worse, as it has been given to
new things three times within ten years or so, the
last offender being a white Dutch variety, shown for
the first time this year in France, where it received
a certificate. The Dutch firm which named this, ap-
parently, had no knowledge of the fact that the name
had already been used. We hope the International
Committee will be able to catch repetitions of this

jkind before they are printed in catalogs, and to per-

jsuade the originators to change the names. It, of
course, has no method of forcing the change of any

| name and must rely upon its appeal to the public

I spirit of the grower.

Since the Iris Society was formed three years ago,

■ more than 30 names which Iris growers proposed to
give their new varieties have been objected to on the
ground that varieties bearing such names were al-
ready in commerce and, in nearly every ease, the
grower at once has signified his willingness to change
it. At the Paris conference alone, the firm of Cayeux
& LeClerc withdrew eight names which, but for our
interference, would have been applied to new Irises.

jl believe every florist and nurseryman can see the
i importance of preventing this confusion and I feel
I very strongly that we deserve the very hearty co-
' operation of every plant grower in this work.
I Difficulties will occur in the future in determining
I who should have priority of certain names and, if
/ such difficulties cannot be straightened out by two
; representatives from each of four or five countries,
I do not know how they can be straightened out in
I any other way, as small committees of this kind are
i always more useful than big ones.

{International Classification Desired

The American Iris Society was also anxious to ob-
I tain at Paris, some international system of classifica-
[tion but this matter is apparently as much in dis-
ipute as before. The Royal Horticultural Society has
I brought forth a new scheme of color classification this
' year which has many good points and also some ob-
i jectionable ones from our point of view. The French,
I however, flatly refuse to consider this as it did not
i take into account botanical characteristics, and are

■ publishing their own system in the transactions of
the conference, a system based primarily on botanical

I characteristics and also partly on color. Various
I schemes have also been suggested in this country, but
the chances of the three countries uniting in this
! scheme do not now seem good. Standardized descrip-
| tions for the various countries also seem rather diffi-
cult to obtain, but we hope with the publication of
descriptions by this society which will commence in
the next bulletin, that a standard will be set which
others will follow, at least in part.

Iris Wonders at Paris

The conference in Paris on May 27 brought together
a very large collection of Iris, probably 500 different
varieties ; these included all the modern French varie-
ties which were exhibited by Vilmorin-Andrieux &
Co. ; the new varieties of Denis exhibited by Millet
and Maron, and some remarkably fine new seedlings
from Cayeux & LeClerc, of which Belisaire, Grand

Ferre and Jean Chevreau received certificates of
merit. The first two of these are unusually large
Irises while the third one is an exceedingly charming
variety somewhat on the pattern of Mary Garden, but
distinctly more pink. These varieties show what re-
markably tine work this firm is doing at present in
breeding Iris. With these three also, was the set
which attracted such great attention last year ; Eclai-
reur, Glorias, Imperator, Liberty, Peau Rouge and
Salonique. I hope at least some of these will be in-
troduced next year and will reach America without
much delay. It was this firm which, 16 years ago,
sent ont Ma Mie and these are the first seedlings they
will have introduced since that time in spite of the
great number of thousands of seedlings they have
grown in the intervening period. It is certainly a
great relief to find such breeders who are willing to
do this tremendous amount of work and have the
courage not to send many varieties into commerce ;
the tendency with all breeders is to over-rate their
seedlings and to rush them into commerce at high
prices without sufficient trial, the result being that
people who buy the new things, feel that they have
been cheated and get disgusted with the nurserymen
from whom they bought. Of all the Iris breeders that
I have knowledge of, Cayeux & LeClerc, the Vilmorins
of France, Goos & Koenemann of Germany and Farr
of America seem to be the ones who give their seed-
lings the longest trial before naming them and
sending them out. An example of this is Ambassa-
deur, the finest of all the Vilmorin seedlings which
was raised by them in 190S and not distributed until
1920. I have seen it now three different years, both
in Europe and in America and consider it one of the
finest of all Irises and, for American conditions, up
at the top of our list with Souv. de Mme. Gaudichau,
Lent A. Williamson, Queen Caterina, Shekinah and
the old Pallida Dalmatica or, as it is sometimes called,
Princess Beatrice.

Vilmorin-Andrieux & Co.'s Nurseries

In connection with the conference the delegates
were invited to spend the day in the wonderful nur-
series of Vilmorin-Andrieux & Co. at Verrieres, where
we were most delightfully welcomed by the head
of the firm, Mme. Philippe de Vilmorin. The Irises
were at their height and we had the opportunity of
seeing not only the varieties that they had put into
commerce in the last 20 years, among which are such
remarkably fine things as Ambassadeur, Ballerine,
Opera, Ambigu, Eldorado and Caprice, but also a col-
lection numbering over 300 varieties which date back
before 1S70. This old collection was a liberal educa-
tion in itself. It showed us first, that a few of the
old sorts are practically as good as the best of our
modern ones, five examples of this being Pallida Dal-
matica, Aureau, Flavescens, Mme. Chereau and
Jacquesiana. It showed us also, most convincingly,
that at least 95 per cent of the varieties, originated
before 1900, are now totally outclassed and there is
absolutely no reason or excuse for any nurseryman
continuing to list this old rubbish. This fact has been
evident to a number of Iris enthusiasts for some
years, but sufficient evidence did not seem to be on
hand to warrant general recommendations. We be-
lieve now with the advent of the symposium, that
we are in a better position to make recommendations,
and within a year or two, expect to recommend at
least 500 varieties for the discard. This is too big a
number, however, to recommend at once, but the Iris
Society hopes this Fall to send out personal letters
to various nurserymen calling their attention to about
50 of the worst examples of these old, superseded
sorts which are still commonly grown by all nursery-
men and florists in all parts of the United States as
well as in Europe.

Most Old Varieties Outclassed

The evidence presented to the American delegates
on the visit to the Vilmorin's and at the Paris con-
ference was still further emphasized in the Iris show
at London on June 7 where several exhibitors ruined
their chance for high awards by sprinkling through
their good varieties a lot of entirely hopeless old
junk. In London also, an educational exhibit of old
varieties was staged by the Royal Horticultural So-
ciety from their gardens at Wisley, and it took but a
glance at this collection and the more modern ones,
to see the tremendous strides that have been made
in the last 20 years.

A discussion of the questions brought up at Paris
was continued at the Iris meeting in London on June
7, at which Mr. Bonnewitz, Mr. Wassenberg and I
again represented the American Iris Society, and M.
Mottet the French Horticultural Society. Discussions
of the question of classification, showed that even in
England, the opinion was not unanimous for the new
system and, as Iris delegates from America, we felt
it unwise to press this matter further as we believed
more good could be done by concentrating on the
subject of nomenclature. The proposition of forming
an International Committee, brought forward by Mr.

Bonnewitz at Paris, received the official approval of
the Royal Horticultural Society who have appointed
members to the committee, as have the French and
the Dutch.

A Famous English Iris Nursery

In connection with the show in London, an Iris
dinner was held, nearly 30 people present, and an
Iris Club was formed, which is to meet in London
quarterly. We envy the English who live in such a
small country that it is so easily possible to meet in
a central place. After the London meeting about 30
guests were entertained by the firm of R. Wallace &
Co. at Tunbridge Wells, where we saw a magnificent
display of Iris with a background of wonderful
Rhododendrons. As at the London show, the features
at Wallace's were a number of the new Bliss seed-
lings, of which Swazi and Bruno seemed decidedly the
finest, but the high price placed upon these on account
of the very small stock in existence, will make them
practically unobtainable for many years. It remains
also to be seen whether or not they will grow suc-
cessfully in this country, for along the Atlantic sea-
boards at least, Mr. Bliss's famous Dominion has been
a sad disappointment on account of its slow growtrj
and tendency to rot. It should be noted, however,
that in Ohio and further West, this variety is doing
well, and we will hope that the new ones will show
more vigor.

Another very fine batch of seedlings at Mr. Wal-
lace's was a new set from Sir Arthur Hort, varieties
bred from Caterina, Cypriana, Mesopotamica and
Ricardi, all of them possessing the good points . of
these Irises from Asia Minor, that is extreme height
and very large size. The constant use of this Southern
strain, however, may make Sir Arthur Hort's varie-
ties of difficult culture in the eastern parts of this
country, and I would hesitate to recommend them to
anyone for that reason. For California conditions,
however, I believe that his new Leonato is going to
prove as great a sensation as any Iris that has ever
been put into cultivation for it outclasses Caterina
in every way and is a most beautiful flower. His
Shylock and Blanche are also of the same high qual-
ity and plant growers in warm climates should try
them at once.

Watch Out for These at Bronx 1923

A batch of new English seedlings that were a great
surprise to me were those of Amos Perry, but I am
sorry I cannot give names as they were under num-
ber when seen, and will probably not be offered to the
public for several years as the stock is so small. Of
all the seedlings I have ever seen these seem the moit
remarkable for their uniform height, fine form and
clear coloring. We hope that they will show these
same good qualities when transplanted to America
but, as all of us know who have enthused over plants
in Europe, it is impossible to foretell which will do
well in this country and which will not. Mr. Perry
has been kind enough to donate a set of these seed-
lings to the Iris Test Garden in Bronx Park, N. Y.

Over Eighty and Still Active

I had the pleasure of meeting George Teld, a con-
temporary of the late Sir Michael Foster, who has
given us some of our finest Irises, among them Lord
of June, Halo, Neptune and Dawn. His two new va-
rieties, Asia and Prospero, are remarkably fine things,
and from all indications, will prove good growers in
this country just as other Yeld Irises have done. I
think of all the Irises grown by me, those of Teld are
uniformly the most vigorous. Although over 80 years
of age he intends to continue his breeding work in
his new home near London. It was a pleasure, again,
to see on this trip, varieties which I had seen as
novelties two years ago in Europe, and which are
now well established in this country and proving sat-
isfactory. The foremost among these were the fine
varieties of Millet, Souv. de Mme. Gaudichau, Cor-
rida, Delicatissima and Col. Candelot. While the first
of these always proves a sensation wherever shown,
the other three continue to be neglected by American
gardeners because, in exhibitions, they are not sensa-
tional. As garden varieties, they are unsurpassed for
their sturdiness, freedom of bloom and fine coloring;
they belong in every garden which is more than can
be said of things like Dominion which must remain,
for the present at least, as exhibition varieties to be
grown by only a few.

Trade Exhibits Surpass American Efforts

The Iris shows both at London and Paris were
larger than any we have ever seen in this country.
There were many big exhibits from nurseries, but
very few amateur exhibits; in this at least I think
that we are ahead of the Europeans. The quality was
uniformly very high although many of the plants had
been brought from quite a distance. At the Chelsea
show for instance, Wallace had a garden of Irises

Final Reports

AS per schedule, a number of new classes were
introduced on Thursday, the third day of the
show. To make room for these exhibits the bis
classes, one and two, were more or less cleared away.
Incidentally, not a few other exhibits on the tables
were removed also, only those which had withstood
the conditions being allowed to remain. Thus it came
about that there was no necessity to crowd ; in fact,
the blooms in vases had a chance to show their good
points. But, in the removal of the faded, and the
spacing out of the remainder, it appeared that the
helpers were none too careful about the accompanying
'cards; indeed, one found cards for which there were
too exhibits, so that visitors on the fourth day were
[apt to wonder what it all meant.
' As on the first day, the exhibits on the third day
'were late in being staged, so that when this writer
.dropped in about 4 p.m. with the hope of finding
everything straightforward, he found the judges were
tstill at work. However, by watching out for the
nudges' pencil marks, his task of getting the awards
land some data on the exhibits was achieved. I would
say right here that the official award stamp was ap-
'plied to the cards more promptly than with the first
Jday competitions.

I We are bound to confess that the new competitions
'on the third day were not a replica of the first day's
laffair; fewer in number and of smaller proportions
;they did not compensate for those removed. Actually,
the competition was not so keen and, in some in-
stances, it looked as if the exhibitors had come along
ljust to help out a good cause with flowers not exactly
top hole.

; Taking the Garden Club competitions first; these
were not suggestive of the bubbling enthusiasm that
lis said to prevail in the East. The Flushing, N. Y.,
Club appeared to be the only one showing a basket
, worth while; this was a fairly good effort, made up
mostly with Judge Marean Dahlias, berries, grasses
and Ivy. The same club was alone with a 25ft. ex-
hibit; a very good collection containing some stand-
ard sorts and several seedlings. If anything, open
centers seemed to prevail among the flowers. The
dinner table, centerpiece and decorated vase classes
were apparently neglected, a surprising fact consider-
ing how strongly the garden clubs compete at the
New York Spring Show.

The Open Classes

These were practically all contested. The Babylon
Dahlia Gardens, Babylon, N. Y., alone made a worth
while show with a basket. A big affair filled with
Insulinde and touched up with old gold ribbon and
Statice latifolia. A typical florist's effort this.

With a table centerpiece W. L. W. Darnell, East
Moriches, N. Y., scored; a confection of bronzy Cac-
tus varieties mixed with blue Delphinium and Mont-
bretia. Not a thing to rave over but superior to the
second prize effort by the Babylon Dahlia Gardens.
This was made up with Singles and Pompons, and
not calculated to stimulate the use of Dahlias for
table work.

W. G. Pollak, Bronxville, N. Y., scored with a
decorated vase, showing a fine lot of Geo. Walters
mixed with Vimineus Daisy. These tiny flowered
Daisies are truly worth while for decorative work,
as they almost resemble Heather. W. L. W. Darnell
took second with a rather plaster-like set up of pink
Cactus and Pompon blooms, touched up with Aspara-
gus.

The Huntington Dahlia Gardens, N. Y., beat C.
Louis Ailing, West Haven, Conn., with a vase of red,
long stems, showing Red Wing; a very good Decora-
tive flower. W. W. Kennedy & Son, Red Bank, N. J.,
had a walkover with a vase of white, showing Robert
Laurie Black, a fine big Hybrid Show.

With a vase of yellow, W. L. W. Darnell led with
Mrs. C. D. Anderson, a good rich yellow Decorative.
C. Louis Ailing took second with Mrs. W. Slocombe,
paler and smaller. Two others also ran.

Kennedy & Son scored over W. L. W. Darnell with
a vase of pink, both showing Cambria. This variety,
an English sort, I believe, is not losing its popularity,
despite the flood of seedlings. When it comes to size,
form, color and stem Cambria has them all.

The only vase of variegated, after judging, migrated
to the stand of the Blue Ribbon Dahlia Garden, Tren-
ton, N. J. It won first and presumably did not care
to remain where it rightfully belonged. Maybe the
ownership was correct, but according to the schedule
competitive exhibits are not to be moved.

With a vase of any other color, W. W. Kennedy &
Son, showing Wizard of Oz, beat James Kirby, Hunt-
ington, N. Y., who showed Mars, a rich orange. There
was a vase of Insulinde in this class also, but it had
to stand down.

mitted that in the specimen classes, the Decorative
make the finest and most even display, but are they
always Decoratives as staged?

A. E. Doty scored with 12 Cactus ; Pierrot was fine,
but for the rest little can be said. With 12 Peony,
C. Louis Ailing scored, W. L. W. Darnell having an
inferior lot; Peony Dahlias are not good for showing
on short stems. They look forlorn and when, as is
often the case, some are as big as a dinner plate they
don't seem anything.

With 12 Singles, long stems, Alt F. Clark was first
and W. L. W. Darnell, second. Mr. Clark also led the
same competitor with 12 Collerette, but with nine
vases of Pompon, J. H. Wiegand had the lead over
W. L. W. Darnell.

And this ends the doings of the third day. Of
course, some of the trade exhibitors furbished up their
exhibits, and honestly it is about time the promoters
of exhibitions considered the policy of giving hono-
rary awards to trade floral exhibits which go far to
make an attractive show. Seemingly the A. D. S.
does not make a practice of this custom, but in all
truth, the trade exhibits should be honestly judged
and an honorary award granted according to merit.

In the present instance, however, a gold medal was
offered for the best commercial display, not to exceed
100 sq. ft., but by some miscalculation several trade
exhibits even exceeding this space were centered in
this class. W. A. Burpee & Co. were awarded the
gold medal, but under the ruling of the schedule the
exhibit was not more entitled to the award than those
of John Scheepers, Inc., Stumpp & Walter Co. and
Babylon Dahlia Gardens, all of which were of out-
standing merit because of their decorativeness.

The Sweepstakes prize, a silver cup, offered for the
largest number of points scored on Thursday, was
won by Alt F. Clark, 27 points with W. L. W. Dar-
nell, 24 points, and C. Louis Ailing, 24 points, which
demonstrates that a sweepstakes may be won even
without many first prizes, if sufficient classes are
entered.

W. L. W. Darnell showed a good dozen Cactus all
Attraction, but while finer in stem, he had to stand
down to Alt F. Clark, Netcong, N. J., who staged a
mixed vase. With Hybrid Cactus, Kennedy & Son,
scored, showing Francis Lobdell and several other
new varieties. Alt F. Clark was second with an in-
ferior lot.

With 12 Show, Kennedy & Son led, showing good
flowers of W. W. Rawson, Gold Medal, and R. L.
Black among others. W. L. W. Darnell was second,
and C. L. Ailing, third.

Alt F. Clark had things his own way with 12 Peony
flowered, and also 12 Duplex and 18 Collerette.
Golden Sunshine is a good Duplex and seemingly the
old Maurice Revoire can hold its place among Coller-
ettes even today.

With 12 Singles, Mills & Co., Mamaroneck, led
Alt F. Clark. The former showed Rhode Island White
and Newport Wonder mixed. White Sunshine, shown
by Alt F. Clark, is too big for a good Single. The
Pompon class, 18 blooms, made no great show ; Mrs.
A. F. Clark, Mills & Co., and Alt F. Clark scored in the
order named.

With 25 Duplex, arranged for effect, Mills & Co.
had a walkover, showing Miss Emma. All these vari-
ous classes called for long stems.

With 24 Cactus short stems, A. E. Doty beat three
other competitors ; Los Angeles, yellow ; Melody, prim-
rose, and Alabasta, white, were fairly good, but none
were of great size. W. L. W. Darnell took second,
but the class was not particularly impressive.

With 50 blooms at least four types, J. H. Wiegand,
New Haven, Conn., was an easy first. Mrs. Bryant,
Princess Pat, Shudow's Lavender and Snowdrift were
good. Stewart & Fisher followed, showing some very
fair flowers, including President Wilson, Emperor and
John Lewis Childs. Actually, we think these mixed
type classes are not good policy; they result in un-
even exhibits and because of the varying size of the
types, do not give some varieties a fair chance. The
various types ought to be kept to themselves then
people can make fair comparisons. As it is, they can
only see the big things which make some of the
smaller forms, splendid though they may be for gar-
dens, appear ridiculously small. Maybe the time will
come when the types will become so intermixed that
they will all be Decoratives; things tend that way,
for some exhibitors apparently are in doubt as to
whether their varieties are Hybrid Cactus, Decora-
tive or Peony.

C. Louis Ailing walked away with 12 Show blooms,
a good even lot, and with 12 Hybrid Show; oh, these
hybrids !, be scored over A. E. Doty. With 12 Deco-
rative Kennedy & Son had a strong lot. J. L. Childs,
Emperor, Mrs. Carl Salbach, Wizard of Oz, Mrs. I.
de Ver Warnaar, and Shower of Gold were fine.
C. L. Ailing had a good dozen also. It must be ad-

Snap Shots of the Show

As a result of the ballot, the list of vice-presidents of the
A. D. S. consists of Geo. L. Stillman, Geo. W. Kerr, James
Duthie, W. W. Wilmore, J. W. Davis and Mrs. Chas. H. Stout.
The latter is one of many ladies in New Jersey who have
been bitten by the Dahlia "bug" severely.

Richard Vincent, Jr., is probably the oldest president of
any national horticultural organization in the world. Most
men, when they near four score years, are ready to take a
rest, but not the subject of this note. The miles he travels
on behalf of Dahlias must mount up considerably each year
and most of them are crowded into the month of September.

Stumpp & Walter struck a distinctive note with their exhibit.
The vases of bloom were well displayed and the setting was de-
cidedly attractive.

John Scheepers, Inc., if anything, surpassed last year's effort.
Larger quantities of each variety were shown and Firelight,
with its fine stems, will probably attract the cut flower grower.
A special card drew attention to the fact that absolutely no
wires were used in the exhibit.

Two good things on Peacock stands were Rosalie Styles, a
bright pink Peony, and Katherine Donges, a pale yellow, mid-
way between a Cactus and a Decorative.

Dreers made a special display of the French Collarette, Ca-
mille Frachon. The color is quaint, lake with deeper shades. 'A
feature of this variety is that it gives flowers also like the
Duplex and Peony types.

The Babylon Gardens evidently have a big stock of Insulinde;
this, Pink attraction, and King of the Autumn, were wonder-
fully well shown.

The new Slocombe variety, Maid of the Mist, is certainly
attractive in color, soft yellow shading off to pink at the outer
edge. It didn't appear to take up water well and the wires
and thin stakes suggested stems lacking in timber.

Among the sorts in the competitive classes, long stems, that
stood up well on the fourth day were Mariposa, Snowdrift and
Azalea.

Cottam & Son drew attention to the fact that their flowers
were not exhibition grown. "Grown as you grow them," was the
explanation.

The Huntington Dahlia Garden exhibit reminded one of the
old, old days when Border Carnations were shown with paper
collars on boards. Their blooms were set up in small jars, each
standing on a paper doily.

W. Jost specialized in some good flowers; mostly staged in
polished brass vases which looked suspiciously like the empty
cases of those things we were slinging about "over there" a
few years ago. Susan Coe on this stand was marked as a
Decorative, but what of those that looked like Peony flowered?
Goldwyn, last year's gold medal Cactus, seems prone to show
its center.

There seemed to be a union between the exhibits of E. W.
Darling and W. D. Hathaway. Both hail from the same town,
New Bedford, Mass., and it was not easy to see where one
exhibit left off and the other began. Must have been on friendly
terms, for visitors talking to one attendant wouldn't expect to be
turned over to another party on the half way line which, like
the equator, was only imaginary.

According to the program, which by the way was free, ^no
competitive exhibitor was allowed to sell from such exhibits.
The ruling was not enforced, for from the first, some exhibi-
tors in class one, 100 blooms, were not slow in approaching an
interested spectator.

One wonders whether visitors ever stopped to read the pro-
gram before going the rounds of the show, especially as there
were no seats and no music to entertain them. A program is
the outcome of high ideals, but it is not wise to expound
ideals without being in a position to live up to them.

"To find any certain exhibit examine map of hall," was one

The New Seed Tariff in Full

Editor The Florists Exchange:

Thinking you might like to have the
provisions of the Tariff Act affecting
seeds and bulbs, I hand you this compila-
tion, calling your attention especially to
the fact that this is prepared from the
bill approved by the Senate and House
conferees Sept. 12, 1922. Later the Sen-
ate and House approved of the various
schedules and I feel quite justified in as-
suming that none of these seed and bulb
schedules were disturbed in any manner.

The official print of the Tariff Bill ap-
proved by the President Sept. 20, 1922,
has not as yet been issued, which requires
the above explanation.

The Old vs. the New

When we consider the methods of the
many up to the minute seed stores
throughout the country, we wonder how
on earth seedsmen managed to do busi-
ness in the years gone by.

In those days receptacles for seeds
were crude and the fixtures were of a
type that gathered and held the dust,
keeping one everlastingly on the job with
a duster and broom. The seed fixtures
were mostly of shelving with drawers
set in and were so constructed as to be-
come regular "feed bins" for mice.

A sack of grain usually served as a
tool rack, through the simple process of
pushing the handles into the grain, leav-
ing the business ends up. Some preferred
a barrel topped with chicken wire held
in place by staples, the tools being in-
serted through the meshes.

The packet machine of the old "rocker"
type with the cork gauge, the collection of
spoons, and thimbles of different sizes —
practically all this has been supplanted.
Interesting, yet slow and laborious was
the work in the seed store of a few years
ago. In the first place location is para-
mount, as far as retail trade is concerned.
The store must be central to take ad-
vantage of transient trade, yet within
easy reach of the depots used by out of
town customers. The store must be out-
wardly attractive. There are many ways
of getting this result and with a little
thought and at slight expense an old or
tawdry building can be made pleasing.
The name of the firm must be conspicuous
so that all may know with whom they
do business.

The windows are most important and,
I believe, represent 50 per cent of your
business appeal. As such they demand
your utmost attention. They should be
large and roomy and the floor could be
tiled or finished in parquetry work. The
lighting system concealed and placed
along the top and bottom gives a good
effect sufficient to show the goods in re-
lief. The whole window should be in-
closed and as near dustproof as possible
unless used for live plants, in which case
it should, of course, remain open to ad-
mit air at all times.

The entrance to the store should be
wide, and on entering, customers should
experience little difficulty in locating the
articles they require. Signs should _ be
hung above each counter to indicate just
what department it is.

The size and shape of the store will

NOVELTIES
FOR 1922-23

The best blue Sweet Peas ever produced
to date.

ZVOLANEK'S BLUE SENSATION. A
self of clearest blue. Similar to Zvolan-
ek's Blue and twice as large. The best
blue ever produced. Four flowers to a
long stem which holds its color to the
very last.
ZVOLANEK'S BLUE WONDER. A
large, clear blue flower upon opening,
but changes to a light violet as it ages.
Slightly larger than the above.
ZVOLANEK'S BLUE CHIEF. A blue
self which is slightly darker than Zvolan-
ek's Blue Sensation, but in all other
respects is the same.
ZVOLANEK'S COMET. A large salmon
on cream ground. A good bloomer and
holds color very well. If well grown
majority of flowers producing four on a
long stem and with double standards^or
wings — very large.

as Xmas Pink, only double the size. One
of our 1919 introductions. Short crop.

grower. Color of more intense pink,
which holds color to the very last.
Price: Oz. $2.50, 4 ozs. $8.00, lb. $25.00.
ZVOLANEK'S ROSE. This is the very
best commercial Sweet Pea ever pro-
duced to date. Every one who has ever
tried it cannot say enough for it and
wants it again in larger quantities The
flowers are of the most beautiful self-
rose color, double the size of Mrs. Skach;
holds its color to the last and is a free
bloomer, also unexcelled for outdoors.
Price: Oz. $2.00, 4 ozs. $6.00, lb. $20.00.

black seeded white; rather short grower
with very ruffled flowers. One of our
1920 introductions.
Price on Each: Oz. $2.00, 4 ozs. $6.00,

lb. $20.00.
ED ZVOLANEK. Purest lavender,
similar to Mrs. Chas. Zvolanek in color,
but very large. A good bloomer in dark-
est Winter. If well grown the majority
of the flowers produce four to a long
stem with double wings or standards.
This variety is a great improvement
over all other lavenders. May revert
to some extent, but we guarantee it

about 90 per cent true.

Price: Oz. $2.00, 4 ozs. $6.00. lb. $20.00.

and all of largest size. There are none |

The Retail Seed Business

(Continued from page 925)
storage fixtures are placed lengthwise to
the wall. The uptodate arrangement in-
cludes large bins and drawers of varying
sizes sufficient to take care of all kinds
of seeds; these are beautifully finished
and absolutely mice proof. They should
harmonize with the general color scheme
of the interior. The counters with dis-
play bins in front should be placed far
enough apart to allow passage of clerks
m comfort at all times. This means easier
work and greater efficiency.

The wrapping paper and twine should
be convenient, also the roll of adhesive
tape for smaller packages. Paper bag
racks should be located in each counter.

The store should be laid out in depart-
ments, and each should be complete in it-
self, but within easy reach of the others.

The center of the store may be given
up to display tables with plenty of room
around them where customers may ex-
amine the goods without being pushed
about. The average customer likes to take
his time looking around, so it is wise to
have everything carry a price tag.

Tables should also be used for "spe-
cials," that is, whenever you advertise
any one thing, display it in masses; give
your customers the impression of big-
ness. It is more lasting. Every good
store should have an Information Bu-
reau. How often is the valuable time
ot a clerk behind the counter wasted
during the Spring rush, when he is be-
sieged with multitudinous questions?

The problem of avoiding this waste
without affecting the service you want
to give your customers may be solved
through the Information Bureau. Put a
responsible, practical, courteous person
m charge; give him or her access to the
Book of Knowledge," have on hand col-
ored plates of vegetables, flowers, plants,
fruits, trees and shrubs and also printed
directions on the culture of the various
articles. Distribute these leaflets to
those who need them, and you will be
blessed by many whose enjoyment of gar-
dening is limited by their ignorance.

Many systems are in use for taking in
the cash and making quick change and
what is "medicine to one is poison to
another." In other words, each store
must decide how best to handle its re-
ceipts. However, cash registers in each
department operated by careful sales-
people and checked up periodically, give
good results any way you look at it. With
them in use you know what is being done
in each department every day.

Notes from Abroad

The equinoctial gales are upon us early
this year, and although they do not bring
a low temperature, they cause a general
breakup of the weather, and sunshine is
scarce. Still, the disturbance mav dis-
appear as suddenly as it came, and the
lost leeway be made up.

Prices of vegetable seeds in general
are likely to be higher this year. Onion
seed is up already, and further develop-
ments are awaited with interest. Mean-
while no news of great moment comes
trom the seed growing districts.

The cut flower trade in the markets
remains quiet, but the period of church
decorations for harvest festivals is com-
ing on, and this will no doubt give an
impetus to business. Big supplies of very
Hue, large-flowering Chrysanthemums are
coming in, and Gladioli, Dahlias and
Asters join m giving the dominant note
to the whole display. Lilium longiflorum

Grass Seed Sales to the Front

Careful inquiry at all the seed stores
that make more or less of a specialty of
grass seeds for various purposes, brings
out the fact that the sales of these seeds
have been for several weeks and are
at present unusually large. Dealers in
grass seed, either mixtures for golf
courses, lawns of private estates, or
parks, and also unmixed seeds for
meadowlands and permanent pasture
lands, are this year (almost for the first
time since the World War) able to ob-
tain all the required varieties except for
a few kinds of the Bent and Fescue
grasses, which are still in short supply.
Another reason for the heavy sales this
season is that the weather has been, and
is very favorable for sowing grass seeds.
Even the present dry and warm weather
is not a hindrance to this work to any
great degree ; in fact the sowing of grass
seeds is being carried on to much better
advantage under such conditions than
during an unusually wet, late Summer
and early Autumn.

Roman J. Irwin, 43 W. 18th st., re-
ports some late calls for field Carnation
plants. Also that he is booking a num-
ber . of orders for rooted Carnation cut-
tings of the new varieties such as Dor-
ner's Surprise, Jablonsky's Betty Jane
and the Joy Floral Co.'s Natalie for
Winter delivery. He also reports that
he is booking a large number of orders
for A. N. Pierson, Inc.'s new Rose, Com-
monwealth, also for Winter delivery. A
vase of blooms of this new Rose was
brought into the wholesale flower mar-
ket on Sept. 29 for photographic pur-
poses where it was seen there by quite a
few. Mr. Irwin has received another
shipment of Lilium formosum bulbs
which are at once being shipped out to
meet immediate demands.

The S. S. Ryndam (F. Rynveld &
Sons. 61 Vesey st, report) has brought
their last shipment of Dutch bulbs of
any consequence. With their import or-
ders cleaned up, they now have a large
force getting out stock from their New
York warehouse. Re-orders from cata-
log houses indicate to this firm a good
early demand for Dutch stock throughr
out the country.

The Stumpp & Walter Co., 30 to 32
Barclay St., is making a continuous
salesroom and window display of blooms
of the choicer varieties of Dahlias, espe-
cially those of the Decorative and Peony-
flowered classes. These blooms are from
their own trial fields. This company for
several years has been making a specialty
of Dahlias in the best standard and
choicer new varieties and is issuing from
time to time a list of the varieties it has
for sale.

The MaeNiff Horticultural Co., 196
Greenwich st., held a well attended auc-
tion sale characterized by lively bidding
in its auction rooms at noon on Friday
of last week. Other such sales were
continued at the same hour on Tuesday
and Friday of this week, the main offer-
ings being of Dutch bulbs in a full line
of kinds and many varieties.

Vaughan's Seed Store, 41 to 43 Bar-
clay St., reports a continued strong de-
mand for Dutch bulbs. This store has
just received a second large shipment of
Chinese Lilies. At the recent exhibition
of the American Dahlia Society at the
Hotel Pennsylvania, it booked a larger
number of bulb orders than usual. This
was largely consequent on the well ar-
ranged and comprehensive trade exhibit
made there. We note in the windows,
both on the Barclay and Church st
sides of this store, a continued season-
able and comprehensive display of bulbs
of all kinds and in the salesroom of the
store, a well arranged and attractive
exhibit of blooms of the choicer kinds
of Dahlias. Both the bulb and Dahlia
displays which are so well arranged and
so well kept up as to deserve commen-
dation, no doubt add not a little to the
volume of counter sales.

Chicago Seed Trade

Business has started well at the store
of the W. W. Barnard Co. The Madison
st. bridge, a little east of the store, has
been closed for several weeks for repairs.
This diverted all the traffic to the rail-
way stations to Monroe st., causing con-
siderable loss of business to the merchants
from Wells st. to the river. As thou-
sands of people pass that way daily the
merchants are hoping for the early open-

ing of the bridge. The full supply of
bulbs are in and on display. A fine as-
sortment of art goods for use in the
growing of bulbs in water and gravel are
on exhibition.

At the warehouses of Vaughan's Seed
Store on the West side, a large quan-
tity of Dutch bulbs are being moved
daily. The stock is very complete. Free-
sias, Callas, Lilium Harrisii and Formosum
as well as Chinese Narcissi are all in de-
mand^ At the retail store, business is
brisk in all bulb stock as well as Peonies
and perennials.

The American Bulb Co. reports a large
demand for everything in bulb stock; or-
ders are coming in from all over the coun-
try in larger proportions than ever be-
fore. John Degnan says every florist who
has any spare ground at all should plant
some Darwin Tulips not only for the show
they will make for him in Spring, but for
cutting as well whenever the occasion
might demand it. The old Zinnias that
have been regarded as passed among gar-
den flowers, are fast coming into promi-
nence again. Some of the most wonder-
ful blooms are to be seen now at the re-
tail stores of the prominent retailers. Ed.
Winterson, who is practically retired from
business, has been producing some excel-
lent blooms at his home in Highland
Park. The demand for these the past
week became so large he could not sup-
ply the market. Retailers went up to
his place in the hopes of getting even a
small supply. Florists will do well to
look into these Dahlia flowered Zinnias
for another season.

Alex Rennie, of the bookkeeping de-
partment of A. Henderson & Co., returned
the past week from! a trip to his old
home in Providence, R. I. While in the
East he made extended visits to the vari-
ous large cities there and had a pleas-
ant outing.

Cincinnati Seed Trade

Bulbs Going Strong

Bulbs were going strong on this market
last week, with a good active demand for
all classes of stock. Sales of Holland
bulbs were the most notable, Hyacinths
and Tulips being very popular. The
largest portion of sales were to small
country towns, although nearby cities in
this territory were liberal takers. Deal-
ers said that at the present rate of sales
the imported stocks would be exhausted
in short order. Several of the leaders in
the trade have already placed repeat or-
ders for the more popular sellers, and it
is expected that business will be good up
to the holidays. Mail orders from indi-
vidual buyers and women's clubs were a
big feature in the business done last week.

With a good rain it is believed the
sale of seeds in this territory would be
quite active. All field seeds have been
the subject of inquiry, but in many let-
ters farmers said they were waiting for
rains before placing their orders. Sales
last week were slow, but there was a good
steady inquiry from nearby States for
Timothy and Clover. Red Top and Blue
Grass were also inquired for liberally,
but few sales were made. E. L. H.

Catalogs Received

Weller Nurseries Co., Inc., Holland, Mich. —
Price list for season of 1922-23 of all kinds of
herbaceous perennials "with that wonderful root
system," and Gladioli. Some good illustrations of
field scenes and individual plants, together with
suggestive lists of biennials and perennials needing
protection, species especially suited for cut flower
production, etc., add to the value of the book
which seems to realize the firm's desire to "make
a compact, practical list for landscape nurseries
and florists, which may be nicely used in planning
landscape plantings and perennial gardens." It is
conveniently punched and fitted with a cord loop
so that it may be hung up close at hand for easy
consultation.

Palisades Nurseries, Inc., Sparkhill, N. Y. —
Deals largely with hardy perennials of which a
large variety is offered at retail. The descriptions
though brief, give color of foliage and bloom,
height, and popular as well as botanical names.
Varietal forms however are not listed. Rock plants
and plants for dry walls are a specialty and Roses
and a limited selection of shrubs and climbers are
also listed.

Alessandro Squadrilli, Naples, Italy. — Whole-
sale offer of seed specialties and novelties for 1923.
The first red shaded double Sunflower Helianthus
is here listed. Another item, old, yet little known,
is Asparagus falcata. Usually the seed is not easily
obtainable nor fertile, but a stock that will seed in
Europe has now been evolved. It is a giant form
of A. Sprengeri to all intents and purposes, and
for decorating should prove useful. The leaflets
are about ten times the size of A. Sprengeri. It
will grow anywhere in the open where frost is light
as in Florida or California. A new Arabian Melon,
which, when the size of an Orange, can be cooked

like Summer Squash or eaten like Cucumber, and
eaten as a fruit when full size is another novelty
that may prove useful in northern gardens.

V. Lemoine & Son, Nancy, France. — Autumn
wholesale catalog of novelties and specialties.
Jasminum stephanense and Deutzia crenata mag-
nifica are valuable subjects that are illustrated.
Many forms of hardy and tender plants are offered
also, but one's attention is specially attracted to the
various hard wooded plants that bear the initial
L. indicating Lemoine's raising. Hydrangeas,
Peonies, including the new yellow hybrids and
Lilacs are particularly notable.

John Connon Co., Ltd., Hamilton, Ont. —
Wholesale price list of greenhouse stock, Roses,
ornamental trees and shrubs, evergreens, climbers,
and herbaceous perennials. This firm also main-
tains a first-class retail florists establishment, and
is a strong supporter of the F. T. D.

The Wayside Gardens Co., Mentor, O. —
Wholesale Fall catalog specially devoted to hardy
plants. The list of hardy perennials is one of the
best and most extensive offered by the trade.
Features many named varieties and all the best of
the species, native or otherwise. Illustrations are
extremely numerous, these showing up clearly on
the heavy paper used. A select list of climbing
plants and hardy Roses is also offered.

Joseph Bancroft & Son, Cedar Falls, la. —
Fall list of bulbs. Limited to a few select varieties,
it affords the average amateur ample for his needs.
Greenhouse plants for home decorating are offered,
and also cut flowers of all kinds.

Roderick M. Crocket, Cranford, N. J. — Small,
select list of choice Dahlias and Gladioli. Green
plants of Dahlias are offered as well as tubers, the
price for same being 50 per cent less.

G. Beckwith & Son, Haddeston, Herts, Eng-
land— Trade offer of the new Elsie Beckwith Rose,
a seeching from Ophelia Mevrouw Dora Van Telo.
Claimed to be a glowing rosy pink and the best in
its class. Beckwith & Sons are among the oldest
and most important Rose forcing concerns in Great
Britain. Every new Rose of likely merit is tried
out at their nurseries. The late Geo. Beckwith
and E. G. Hill were always in close touch and
doubtless they derived much benefit thereby.
Elsie Beckwith when shown in London only last
Spring was generally acclaimed as a wonderful
Rose and one likely to measure up to the American
standard for stem.

Priority Stock on Railroads

The American Seed Trade Association
has issued the following notice to its
members;

"Seeds, fertilizers and feed for live-
stock have been just recently placed on
the priority list in rail transportation by
the I. C. 0., Sept. 19.

"If interested, refer your railroad agent
to Service Order No. 25 if you ship from
points east of the Mississippi River, and
to Amendment No. 1, Service Order No.
24, for points west of the Mississippi."

Stamford (Conn.) Hort. Society

The regular monthly meeting was held
Monday evening, Oct. 2. A list of those
who have contributed money for prizes
for the Fall show was read, and made a
good sized sum. The society expects to
make the coming show the best it has
ever held.

Three new members were elected.

The exhibits at the meeting were
good, especially a collection of vegetables
by Chas. Steele, for which a cultural
certificate was given.

The following were awarded points:
Alex Geddes, collection of seedling Dahl-
ias and a vase of Celosia Childsii. Chas.
Steele, vase of Dahlias; J. Rutherford,
vase of Dahlias ; G. C. Boon, one vase
each of Petunia, Salpiglossis, and
(Enothera ; Mrs. T. Harvy, vase of Eu-
patorium ; A. MeGonigle, Sweet Pota-
toes and Egg Plant. T. F. C.

Arbitration

After working for nearly two years,
the Horticultural Trades Association has
succeeded in organizing a board for the
purpose of dealing with disputes outside
the law courts, thereby cutting away the
heavy costs which litigation entails. Sev-
eral panels or committees have been
formed to deal with disputes relating to
agricultural seeds, farming, market gar-
dening, orcharding, etc. The various or-
ganizations concerned with these phases
of the industry are responsible for these
panels. The H. T. A. panel deals with
matters purely horticultural. Should a
dispute occur between a horticultural
seedsman and a market garden, the H. T.
A. and market garden panels will both
act with an independent umpire over all.
Efforts are being made to form an inter-
national panel to settle disputes between
England and Holland traders.

New Plant Inspection Station

The Post Office Department has an-
nounced that provision has been made for
the terminal inspection of plants and
plant products at Everett, Snohomish
County, Washington, to cover that section
of the country.

1920 Income Tax Figures

A total of 345,595 corporation income
tax returns were filed with the Internal
Revenue Bureau for the calendar year
1920, according to figures just made pub-
lic by Commissioner David H. Blair. Of
these returns, 203,233 reported net in-
comes amounting to $7,902,654,813, on
which total taxes of $1,625,234,643 were
collected.

A survey of the reports shows that 160
corporations reported net incomes of
$5,000,000 and over; 836 reported from
$1,000,000 to $5,000,000; 1142 reported
from $500,000 to $1,000,000, and 2124 be-
tween a quarter and a half million dol-
lars. New York filed the greatest num-
ber of returns, both individual and cor-
poration, and reported the greatest
amount of net income, with Pennsylvania
second and Ilinois third.

A total of 7,259,944 personal income
returns were also filed for the year, show-
ing aggregate net incomes of $23,735,629,-
183, on which total taxes of $1,075,053,-
686 were collected.

Trade Association Investigation On

A study of trade association activities
is being made by the various bureaus of
the Department of Commerce, the results
of which will be submitted for the in-
formation of Congress when the Edge bill
dealing with trade associations is taken
up. Senator Edge of New Jersey says
that his trade association will be rewrit-
ten during the recess of Congress and a
uew measure along the line of his original

bill introduced early in the coming ses-
sion.

Special attention is being paid to the
bureaus of scientific investigation, which
are conducted by a number of trade as-
sociations, and to the activities of trade
associations in eliminating bad business
practices. The report, which is the first
study of the kind conducted by the Gov-
ernment, will probably be voluminous.

Postal Conferences Planned

Representatives of big users of the
mails and of mail order houses will be
invited to attend a series of conference
conventions to^ be held by postal employ-
ees in the various States during the com-
ing year. The purpose of inviting private
concerns to be present at the conventions
is so that their agents may discuss with
local postmasters and officials of the Post
Office Department the problems and diffi-
culties .of handling and dispatching the
daily output of mail.

The first of these conventions will be
held in Syracuse, N. Y., in October.

Improved Labor Conditions Noted

The chief development in the industrial
situation during the month of September
was the improvement in the labor situa-
tion, according to a summary of general
business and financial conditions through-
out the country just issued by the Federal
Reserve Board. The amount of voluntary
unemployment has been greatly reduced,
and wages have shown a distinct upward
tendency. Manufacturing is being main-
tained at relatively high levels, increased
production being reported in most im-
portant industries. Both wholesale and
retail trade showed marked expansion
during the month. Financial conditions
continue sound, while domestic money
rates showed a slight upward tendency.

Manufacturing was slightly curtailed in
August, but recovered during September,
and wholesale trade improved substan-
tially in all reporting lines. Every dis-
trict reported increases in dry goods sales,
which averaged almost 50 per cent higher
than in July. Retail trade improved con-
siderably, and the volume of business was
larger in most sections than at the corre-
sponding time last year.

Nursery Stock Studies Under Way

G. E. Yerkes and L. B. Scott of the

j Bureau of Plant Industry of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture are "in the field"
conducting nursery stock investigations.

Rutherford, Princeton and Bridgeton,
N. J.; Boston, Salem and Framingham,
Mass.; and Berlin, Md.

Mr. Scott will visit Fort Wayne and
South Bend, Ind.; South Haven and
Lansing, Mich.; Chicago, 111.; Topeka,
Kan.; Phoenix and Williams, Ariz.; Los
Angeles, Riverside and Sacramento,
Calif.; Portland, Ore.; and Seattle and
Toppenish, Wash.

F. H. B. Notes

R. Kent Beattie, David Lumsden and
J. M. R. Adams, of the foreign plant
quarantine service, Federal Horticultural
Board, have returned to Washington after
a two months' tour of the various es-
tablishments which have received plants
under special permit during the past year.
Dr. C. L. Marlatt, chairman of the Fed-
eral Horticultural Board, has returned to
his official duties in Washington, after
having spent the Summer in Maine.

More Argument for Mileage Books

Arguments of the florist industry in
favor of the issuance of mileage books,
as contemplated by a law enacted by
Congress shortly before adjournment, were
bulked with those of a number of other
industries, and submitted to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission at a hearing
held late in September.

_ Before the hearings were held a ques-
tionnaire was sent out to the various
trades, and the results of the inquiry
among florists were included in the data
turned in by that industry. Briefly, it
feels that it would be best that scrip
coupon books only should be issued. In
the issuance of such books it is believed
that a reduction of 33 1/3 per cent from
the present rates of fare would be just
and reasonable, it being pointed out that
at this rate the books would become in-
stantly popular, and would effect a sub-
stantial increase in the amount of travel
by the employment of additional sales-

men or the reemployment of those who
have been laid off by the high cost of
traveling. In addition the railroads
w-ould benefit by the resultant freight
carried by the many additional traveling
salesmen who would be put on the road
by the business houses of the country in
response to this reduction, and by the
freight which would result from the in-
creased business.

"The traveling salesman is one of the
most important factors, if not the most
important factor, in the distribution of
the great bulk of products of the nation's
industries," the commission was told. "It
must not be forgotten that one of the
outstanding reasons why the railroads
have been suffering a decrease in passen-
ger miles is the fact that a large per-
centage of the people of our country have
been out of employment and unable to
enjoy the opportunity of ordinary travel,,
both because of their unemployment and
because of the unreasonable high cost of
travel."

It was recommended that the scrip
coupon tickets be issued in denominations
of $100 gross, to be sold to the traveling
men for $66.67. It was suggested that
the scrip coupon tickets should be good
for passage by the original purchaser for
one year from date of purchase, with
adequate provision for redemption of un-
used portions, and made non-transferable.
Witnesses for the railroads estimate
that the carriers would be burdened with
an additional accounting expense of
$1,680,000 per annum if the reduced rate
mileage or scrip books were placed in
effect. It was declared that if the scrip-
became popular the carriers would find
themselves put back 50 years, to the time
when there, were no ticket offices to
speak of, and conductors collected the
passenger revenues for the carriers. They
do not believe that a reduction in fare
by this means would have the effect of
restoring to the rail carriers any consid-
erable volume of the traffic formerly
handled, declaring that the inroads of
motor bus lines and privately owned au-
tomobiles is permanent. It is believed
by the railroads that the losses from
these causes will undoubtedly continue to-
grow because of the vast amount of money
now being expended in every State of the
Union in the improvement of public roads.

"AS EASY AS ROLLING OFF A LOG"
Recording Judges' Decisions

ENDORSED BY OUK LEADING HORTICULTURAL SOCIETIES

'T'HE CLERICAL WORK of Every Flower Show Exhibition Should
* Be Run on Business Lines. Our System is the best, the simplest,
the least expensive, and, in every particular, the most satisfactory.

We have devised, for the use of Managers
and Secretaries, a set of Three Books, Entry
Forms, Entry Cards and Pasters, covering in
detail the orderly and systematic arrange-
ment of every item in bookkeeping, from
the time the Entry Forms are given out to
the payment of prizes and closing up of ac-
counts, and this system is so concise and
complete that prize winners can be paid off
without confusion immediately after Judges'
decisions have been rendered. The system
is so plain that no instructions from us have
ever been called for.

This system, once tried, is ever a favorite;
it can be tiuthfully called the greatest Labor
Saver ever placed within the reach of Ex-
hibition Managers.

Darwin Tulips

When in Flower, Hard to Sell Others

La Reine, Chrysolora, Cottage Maid,
Proserpine, Belle Alliance and many oth-
er Tulips are all fine for the florist and
you want them for cutting, but they all
belong to the early type. From the min-
ute the Darwins appear on the market,
even if twice or three times the price,
your patrons seem to want nothing else
but Darwins. I don't mean to say to just
plan on the early Tulips up to the end of
February, but try to arrange it so that
you can look forward to having a few
Darwins come along after that date. You
can expose the early Tulips, when once
properly rooted to a high temperature; in
fact, they need it if you want any kind of
stem during January and up to the middle
of February, but you can't do this with
the Darwins. If you want to be success-
ful with them, bring your first batch to
a house of 45 degs. or so by the early
part of January, where they will slowly
start into growth. Later on increase the
temperature to 50 and a little over, giv-
ing the plants full sunlight. Don't place
them below a bench; they will grow tall
enough. Without any special effort you
can have your first Darwins coming in
toward the last of February and from
that time on, should be able to cut some
every day.

Darwins in Pans

Nothing Finer for Easter

You can't do without Lilies for Easter;
you want Rambler Roses, Azaleas and
Hydrangeas and a lot of other good
things, but why not grow on more Clara
Butt Tulips in pans'? 1 mention just
this one variety of the many Darwins
there are, because if given plenty of time,
grown cool in 8in. pans, or even 10s, with
an inch of space allowed between the
bulbs, they will rank in attractiveness
with almost anything you have to offer
Easter week. If you want the plants at
their best for April 1, plant the bulbs
now, place outdoors, cover well with soil
and a layer of manure later on. Bring the
pans in about the end of January, carry
in a 45 house, and if, by March 1 the
plants are about 5in. tall, let them have
a 50 deg. house. After that, keep them in

full sunlight and keep a little warmer or
colder so as to manage it that you can
see the buds ten or twelve days before
Easter. If grown cool, they won't need
staking; they will have a short, stocky
growth, with the flowers well above the
foliage. No other variety is more showy
or will remain longer in a salable condi-
tion when kept in a cool place. Now is
the time to get busy.

Success with Darwins

Avoid Shallow Flats

The depth of the flats is not of great
importance with the early Tulips, but you
have a hard time flowering Darwin varie-
ties in anything less than 3in., and 4in.
are better. Deep flats and not planting
the bulbs too close is what they want.
Nor must you ever permit the soil to dry
out; a good percentage of the failures
with Darwins can be traced to having at
one time or other allowed the plants to
suffer for the want of moisture. You may
obtain fine foliage, large plants, but blind
buds. Plant your bulbs as soon as you
can after this date, that is such as you
intend flowering under glass. Don't use
too large flats, but see to it that they are
deep. For the smaller grower, flats
which contain 50 bulbs planted lin. or so
apart are plenty large enough and easier
handled than such as hold 100. You will
find Wm. Copeland, a soft lavender, the
best for extra early and as a second. Pride
of Haarlem, is a splendid pink. For a
second also, there is no more useful sort
than Rev. Ewbank, light heliotrope color,
quite a change from all of the other colT
ors we find among bulb stock in February
or March.

Grow More Cinerarias

Nothing Better for the Showhouse

Don't say it doesn't pay to grow Cinera-
, rias; if you are a retail grower you should
have Cinerarias coming into bloom from
Christmas up to Easter. You can't men-
tion a more showy nor inexpensive flow-
ering plant for the store or showhouse.
No other plants we carry during Winter
can be. grown on with less care or require
less heat than Cinerarias. At the same
time, giving us a color display hard to

equal. What could you substitute for
them during the mid-Winter months in
the showhouse, answering the purpose bet-
ter or costing less to grow on? If you
haven't a stock of plants on hand, pur-
chase 2i4in. or 2% in. stock now; shift
into 3V2S and a month from now into 5s.
It is from now on that they grow like
weeds and it seems the cooler the house
the better they like it. While a little
late, you can still sow seed should you
want plants in bloom for Easter, and
there are quite a few florists who consider
them good Easter stock, but there are so
many other plants you can have at that
time, why not try and let the Cinerarias
come along the two or three months pre-
vious when we need them far more to
cheer things up and make the showhouse
attractive.

Freesias

Keep on Planting Bulbs

Are you keeping on planting bulbs of
Freesias? It pays to do so up to the mid-
dle of November and if you can get a hold
of sound bulbs in early December, plant a
batch on a solid bed, when they can get
along in a 40 deg. house for the first two
months. Even bulbs of less than %in.
size are suitable for this late planting
and will all flower toward the end of
March and early April. No matter how
much bulb stock you may have on hand
at that time will find use for the
Freesias. Your early planted stock in
pots is, by this time, well under way;
keep them outdoors in a frame if possible
until the first 'Mums go out; then plant
out on a bench. Less work and better
flowers will be the result. Their roots
like to roam and you will find that plants
started in pots and later planted out, will
flower every bit as early as those kept
in pots and give you better stems, greener
foliage and heavier flowers. But you have
to use large bulbs and start in early
August if you want flowers in December.

Princess of Wales Violets

To Follow Chrysanthemums

For the retail grower it always pays to
be able to show his patrons a bench or
part of one of Violet plants during the

Winter months. They like the idea that
you grow at least a part of your require-
ments in your own establishment. An-
other reason to have a fair sized batch
of the single Violet Princess of Wales is
that you can grow them on and flower
nicely in a house of 45 where Marie
Louise, the double one, would prove a
failure. A double Violet is a good shipper
and often sold long after every trace of
sweet odor is out of the flowers; you can
ship the singles also, but they are not
the keepers as the others. A few
planted out on a sunny bench or solid
bed by the middle or end of October and
given just a little bit of attention in the
way of keeping the runners off, as well
as bad foliage, keeping the soil cultivated
and fairly moist at all times, will help
to make the plants flower all Winter. If
you have to purchase field plants, do so
soon; clean the plants of runners and pot
up into 5s and place in a coldframe, where
they can remain without glass until wanted
to follow early 'Mums indoors.

Storing Dutch Bulbs

To Be Forced Under Glass

If you are fortunate enough to possess
a bulb cellar, all well and good; try to
make the best use of it and don't let the
flats and pans dry out. The great ma-
jority of retail growers, however, still
carry their Dutch bulb stock outdoors and
it isn't said that with this method, every
bit as good success may be had as far as
forcing your stock into bloom, but with
zero weather and from 4ft. to 5ft. of snow,
it isn't quite so pleasant digging out and
bringing in the flats. Always select a
well drained spot to store your bulbs;
place pieces of boards or 2x4s down to
rest the flats on; in that way they will
come up clean. Never cover with less
than lOin. of soil over the flats and this
layer protect again with a heavy mulch of
straw manure. Hyacinths and Tulips can
stand a lot more freezing than Narcissi,
but neither needs to freeze to make them
fit for, forcing. All will suffer if the soil
in the flats or pans is allowed to become
dry. If you have a few boards bandy,
lay them over the manure, it makes snowr
shoveling easier. 5

Trade Notes

Business has been improving stead-
ily on account of the many Fall parties,
weddings and openings at the stores. Stock
of all kinds is plentiful. Some fine
Dahlias are coming in and, as usual, they
find a ready sale; in funeral work they
make a big showing. Carnations are
scarce and the stems very short. 'Mums
are starting in; the price is a little high
which affects the sale, as Dahlias take
their place.

Roses of all kinds ate plentiful. Also
greens of all kinds. D. W. Evans of
Porter st. reports a heavy sale on ferns,
and states that he will have plenty of
good Carnations this year; the plants look
extra fine.

The Fall Show

Plans have been made for the Fall
show to be held in the Armory Nov. 7, 8,
9 and 10. The general flower show com-
mittee met at the home of B. E. Cokley
on Sept. 28. Judging from the reports
this show will surpass all others held by
the club. Chairman Anton Schultheis
reported that a copy of the assessment
had been mailed to all members of the
club who are to exhibit. The final pre-
mium list will be ready for distribution
about Oct. 15. Special premiums by
firms and individuals have been offered.
Some fine effects are promised by the
decorating committee; several nursery
firms have prom'ised to make exhibits. A
late Fall fashion style show will be a
feature and there will be music and other
attractions in addition to a fine floral
exhibition.

News Notes

Miss Anna Griffiths of S. Main ave.
reports a busy week in funeral and wed-
ding work.

Never in the history of Scranton has
there been at any one time, so many
salesmen from different houses in town.
All lines of business report the same
thing. Just the minute they heard the
strike was over in they came. A num-
ber of them went out the way they came.
As a matter of fact, the strike in this
valley is not over. Our shopmen strike
is still on and our larger mines have not
started to work as the coal companies
want the Kohler-Fowler mine law modi-
fied. This State law forbids reckless
mining, which has been the cause of mine
caves. The people want the law, so at
present we don't know if we will have
coal from the Glen Alden Coal Co. They
employ about 5000 men. F. J. Moean.

There are great possibilities for color blend-

THE planting of Apple trees
on the lawn for ornament
and shade is often advocated,
land rightly so. for the fragrant
Spring blossoms and the hand-
some and edible fruit is a strong
combination. Perhaps the fruit is
not wanted and is considered ob-
jectionable as an attraction for
the small boy. Well then, tell
your customer about the Flower-

How Nurserymen and Florists Can
Cooperate— and Why They Should

By James W. Begbie. Florist, of Shreveport,
La., before the Convention of the Texas Nur-
serymen's Association, at Dallas

A FEW years ago when I was but an apprentice
boy in Europe it was customary for those in out-
line to combine seeds, nursery stock and flowers.
the name of a firm often reading like this : "I. Smith
& Sons, Seedsmen, Nurserymen and Florists." Every
first-class seed house then had a most pretentious
nursery and greenhouses connected with it, and oper-
ated under the one management.

Taking a Tip from the Past

Since my boyhood days times have changed in Eu-
rope as well as in this country, so that today many
of the horticultural and floricultural concerns are con-
ducted independently and confine themselves each to
but one branch of the business. But even at this late
date it is hard for me to get away from my early
training, and I still think that the florist who would
be uptodate in his profession must work hand in hand
with the reliable and well posted nurserymau. These
professions run along lines so much akin that it seems
to me they are indispensable, one to the other.

When I speak of florists I refer to those who know
their business as such, who are making a success in
their communities and who are qualified to advise
their customers as to what is best in horticulture as
well as in floriculture; to such as these I cannot too
strongly urge cooperation with reliable nurserymen.

I was going to say that never a day, and certainly
never a week passes that I am not called upon by
someone for advice relative to the planting of shrubs,
trees or a hedge of some kind. It is but natural that
these people should come to me; since they look to
me for their cut flowers and house plants, they are
under the impression that I can also supply them
with conifers or any other nursery stock they may
require.

That is where the chance of the Intelligent wide-

awake florist comes in. If he will only take as much
pains in seeing that their grounds are as artistically
arranged as he does in seeing to the floral decora-
tions in their banquet halls he will secure lasting and
profitable customers.

Florist's Interest in Nursery Stock

While I am not a nurseryman and do not handle
shrubbery, it is to my interest to devote as much time
and give them as much information to such inquiries
as if I did. I advise and make suggestions as to what
they should plant, what will do well, and what will
look well in the particular situations they wish
planted. I also recommended some nurseryman whu
I know has the stock I have suggested and who I
know will fill the order just as given. Often my cus-
tomers have me order for them; this is one way of
cooperating with the nurseryman. Sometimes these
orders are small, other times they run up into goodly
sums, but take it all in all they mean a good deal to
the nurseryman who would not have made the sale at
all without the cooperation of the florist. A closet-
cooperation between nurserymen and florists would
help greatly in educating the general public and the
home owner in the love of plants and flowers. This
cannot be more clearly demonstrated than by looking
around the suburbs of this city (Dallas), where in
the grounds of so many of those new homes one sees
the work of the nurseryman and florist combined.

The up-to-the-minute uurseryman (and there are
many of him) is, as a rule, a landscape expert as well
and his services are much in demand for laying out
new grounds, as well as for renovating and improv-
ing rundown estates. Possessing a spirit of coopera-
tion this nurseryman would never deceive himself
into thinking there was nothing to do in beautifying
those grounds but what was being done by himself.
He would realize that with the aid of the florist and
his beds and borders of bedding and herbaceous plants,
bulbs, etc., the two of them can produce an effect ar-
tistically beautiful, pleasing to the eye, and in many
respects greatly enhancing the value of the property.

The same applies to the florist who must never
make the mistake of thinking that he can get satis-
factory landscape results from the use of bedding
plants and bulbs alone. Unless the nurseryman works
with him and supplies his quota of shrubbery, the flo-
rist's efforts are futile.

ing Crabs, a few of which we might mention:
Bechtel's Double flowering (Malus ioensis Beeh-
telii) has fragrant, double, shell pink flowers which
could easily be mistaken for Roses. M. Parkmanii,
or Halliana, is another pink, semi-
double, of compact form. The yel-
low fruited, M. Toringo, is a
dwarf Crab with single white or
blush flowers. M. floribunda and
its darker variety, atrosanguiuea,
are two good pinks; M. baccata,
the Siberian Crab, with white
flowers ; M. coronaria, the sweet
scented pink, and M. Scheidec-
keri, a double flowered deep rose,
are but a few of these popular
flowering subjects. Then, as a
combination of flowers, showy
fruit and the "makings'' of lus-
cious Crab Apple jelly, the cus-
tomers would be well pleased with
the Red or Yellow Siberian.

Though seed is available for
growing the M. coronaria and
some of the single flowering sorts,
the double and improved varieties
are worked on Crab stocks, and it
is better to obtain plants from
those who specialize in these
than to try propagating on a
small scale and with doubtful
grafts.

Florists will find many of the
sorts mentioned as desirable for
offering in pots, forced or other-
wise.

The Nursery as a Source of Cut Flowers

Did it ever occur to you nurserymen that you are
offered an opportunity to pick up a good many dollars
from us florists through the sale of cut flowers espe-
cially during the Spring and early Summer months?
And did it ever occur to the average florist to what an
extent the nurseryman could help him iu a pinch?

On various occasions I have found myself long on
funeral work and short on flowers. At such times I
have learned the value of cooperation with the nur-
seryman when I could pick up the 'phone and call
several nurseries in my vicinity, which proved only
too glad to send me several thousand blooms of field-
grown Roses that would otherwise have gone to
waste. Althaeas, Cape Jasmines and other blooms
from flowering shrubs available in quantity have
helped out the same way. The nurseryman's stock
has thus proved a lifesaver to me on several occasions,
and the nurseryman has profited beyond his expecta-
tions from flowers for which he little thought there
was a market.

It will pay the nurseryman to keep in touch with
the uptodate florist in his immediate neighborhood.
He has been overlooking the fact that this particular
florist can assist him very materially in disposing of
his stock if there is a better understanding between
them than there is at present.

The progressive florist, who has not only his own
I nit his customer's interest at heart, will do well to
cultivate the knowledge and assistance of the nursery-
man, and from time to time visit some nurseries and
learn what they are growing, in what condition the
stock is, and from which sources he can obtain the
best plants, so that he may do justice to any orders
entrusted to him.

I have endeavored briefly to show you, nurserymeu
and florists, how we are indebted one to the other,
and I sincerely hope that most of you will give this
matter serious consideration and make a greater
effort than ever before to ensure closer cooperation.
We should discuss this phase of the business, both in
aud out of convention, more especially since such
strenuous efforts are being made, and so much money
spent all over this country on advertising "Say it with
Flowers." Here is a slogan that will never be as
effective as it should be until we florists enjoy the
hearty cooperation of the nurserymen.

Nursery Needs and Opportunities in
the Southwest

Extracts from the President' s Address of John S. Kerr, before the Southwestern
Nurserymen' s Ass'n Convention, Sept. 28, 1922

LOOKTXG backward over the history of
Texas, tin' |as1 half century has shown
wonderful progress and development, with
which, however, the nursery business has
kept pace to a reasonable degree. One of
the first things the nurseryman and tree
planter had to learn was the adaptation
of the planting material to the climate
and soils of our country. Naturally the
pioneers looked to the varieties and
classes of trees and flowers of the older
States with an entirely different climate,
and the consequence was much loss and
confusion. But the nurserymen have
proved themselves equal to the task of
discovering, originating and introducing
trees and plants suited to the conditions
with which we are confronted and great
progress has been made.

Problems of Tomorrow

Looking forward, there are probably as
many problems before us as there were
for our predecessors. The country has
emerged from the utilitarian stage of its
existence and is now planting, not only
for use, but for esthetic effects. While
there is much to be done in the way of
improved varieties of fruit, there are even
greater problems in the matter of orna-
mental trees and plants. Many discover-
ies and new introductions have been made,
yet our lists are not perfect by any means
and it is up to the nurserymen to do
this work for our people. In ornamen-
tals, great progress has been made, yet
in meeting the changed conditions, es-
pecially those brought about by Qu. 37,
there is a great field for the southwestern
nurseryman. It is necessary not only to
find new and more beautiful things to
plant, but the new varieties must be
tested out and proved suitable for our
section.

We of North Texas, especially, need for
instance, an evergreen of the pyramidal
effect that is so desirable in the building
of all landscape designs, and one that will
stand our sudden cold and our severe
droughts.

The memberships of our association
should more fully cover the craft of this
country. The advantages of coming to-
gether in convention and of learning each
other's views and gaining pointers on our
special line of business and especially
spreading a higher plane of ethics among
the craft, is apparent to everyone. No
nurseryman can afford to isolate himself
and fail to cooperate with others of this
line throughout the country.

The Need of Stewards and Specialties

Standardization of our products is
something to which we have given too
little attention. First, we should strive
to grow not only the best varieties, but
also the best specimens and we should
grade our stock more carefully than we
have been in the habit of doing. On this
point of grading, the nurserymen of the
Southwest are far behind our brother
nurserymen of the North and East. Too
many good varieties of nursery stock are
handled under various names.

Specializing is another point that has
been overlooked greatly by the nursery-
men of the South.

Cooperation with the A. A. N. has been
strenuously emphasized by President Paul
C. Lindley. He appeals to the nursery-
men throughout the country to appoint
certain men who shall be affiliated with
the National body's executive committee
in order that the interests of the various
sections of the country may be repre-
sented. I may suggest that the South-
western Association give attention to this
matter and furnish such cooperation.

Legislative Obstacles

The revised Nursery Inspection Law —
like the poor — "is always with us," and
a question that should receive the wisest
consideration of the nurserymen as well
as of the law makers. My observation is
that a great gulf exists between the prac-
tically trained mind and the theoretically
trained mind along this line; in other
words, the theorist insists that his view
be covered by the Inspection Law, and
very often this is at variance with the
practical mind who has the battles of
every day life among trees and plants to
fight. Fortunately for us, heretofore, we
have had reasonable action upon our in-
spection laws and have been able to meet
upon a medium ground, but it is to the
interest of the nurserymen to exercise
eternal vigilance lest the theoretic con-
stituency shall go to extreme length in
the revision of nursery inspection laws.
Just now, it is a well known fact that
some very drastic measures are proposed,
such as a universal tag for shipping and
other things of like import. I am in-
clined to believe that Qu. 37 is the out-
growth of this ultra-theoretic adminis-
tration of our country's affairs, many
things in it being unwise and contrary to
the best interests of the country.

Standards o£ the nursery business h
our country may be largely improved ii
many ways. We need' better marketinj
facilities and more cooperation amonj
nurserymen. We need higher standard!
of ethics, more aggressive ideas of busi
ness in order to grow and maintain bet
ter stocks of trees. Memorial tree plant
ing and Arbor Day planting should b<
stressed by the nurserymen and every
thing possible done to encourage them
Trees and flowers for our prisons, etc., i(
a matter that is receiving much atten-
tion in some quarters and may well inter-
est us. School garden work among oui
young people is fraught with a great deal
of good to our section and upon the coun-
try at large. We should take active in-
terest in the forestry associations of the
nation and of the various States.

Akin to this is the question of an ar-
boretum and botanical garden. The as-
sociation which was organized some years
ago in this interest feels that now is the
time to move for the establishment of such
an institution. Do our nurserymen see
its importance? If so, can we depend
upon your actual participation in its in-
auguration?

Our House in Order

By L. E. MANNING

Several important happenings are re-
ported in last week's issue of The Ex-
change. First and foremost, there is
the action of the Southern Nurserymen s
Association in linking itself up definitely
■with the A. A. N., which it refers to
as the "mother association." That little
thing is going to have far reaching effects,
we sincerely hope.

The second is the development of the
Eastern Association of Nurserymen in
regard to a most important service — the
dissemination of accurate information as
to the quantity of stock being grown for
the next selling season.

Another point brought out at the re-
cent meeting of this latter association —
brought out, by the way, by Secretary-
E. F. Rockwell, chairman of the Market
Development Committee of the A. A. N. —
was that the Eastern Association covered
a pretty small territory when compared
with the amount of stock produced.

What does all this point to? Well,
let's imagine that we are prophets and
dreamers for the once.

We have a mental picture of the nur-
sery trade of America in a state of highly
organized efficiency. There are three
groups of associations. The A. A. N. by
itselt forms one. It exists to gather the
full force of the trade throughout the
country together and swing it as a flail
against the combined enemies of the in-
dustry. Tariff questions, legal questions,
freight rates, everything that is national
is in the bailiwick of the mother associa-
tion.

District Associations

The next group comprises the district
associations. These include such existing
associations as the New England, Eastern,
Southern, Northern, Southwestern and
Pacific Coast bodies. Perhaps one would
do well to include the New York State
and Illinois State associations as district
groups. Their status, at any rate, is just
now much more important than that of
many other State organizations.

The function of the district association
is, roughly, to deal with all matters that
pertain to a distinct district — such as
market conditions, control. of stock (within
the law, of course) and quarantines which
affect more than one State. The two
hig opportunities, and the most important
functions which any association can pos-
sess, are those of building up retail de-
mand for trees and shrubs by means of
campaigns, slogans, advertising, etc.; and
on the other hand of keeping every nur-
sery grower informed about quantities of
stock and generally doing all that is pos-
sible to keep down wasteful overproduc-
tion.

The State associations, which are most-
ly within the district groups, should meet
often. They should be social factors in
tfie trade. Other activities would deal
with State tariff and legislation ques-
tions in cooperation with the federal ac-
tivities of the A. A. N.

Some Suggestions

Would it be too far fetched to suggest
that perhaps the president of each State
association (there are about a dozen, we
understand) might be the component
parts of the A. A. N. tariff and legisla-
tion committee? Or even ex-officio mem-
bers of some board of control for the
A. A. N.?

Or is it seeking the millennium to put
forward the idea that the stock reports of
each of the six or more district associa-
tions might be exchanged on request
through the medium of a Stock Investiga-
tion Committee of the national associa-
tion? Or, again, in determining the
boundaries of the various district asso-
ciations, might not a representative of
each State group be chosen and a national
committee Formed to work out this prob-
lem? One State could have the privi-
lege of joining as many district associa-
tions as it chose, provided it was willing
to pay their dues for market develop-
ment— which, it seems to me, should be
a thorough-going advertising campaign in
each district.

I may have sized up trade opinions
incorrectly, butmy impression is that nur-
serymen are coming around more and
more to the idea that a national sales
effort is, on its face, wasteful. California
does not want to pay for advertising in
New England. The only solution is to
have each market district do its own
sales pushing. Illinois has given us an
example of what can be done in this line.

Think it over. Talk it over. Write
us about it. The least you can do is to
be interested, whether we agree or dis-
agree.

Pittsburgh, Pa.

Geneva, N. Y.

Reports are that the Geneva nursery
trade is expecting an unusually busy Fall
trade. More than 2y2 millions of shrubs
and trees will be shipped away during
the next few weeks, and twice that num-
ber will be "cellared" for Spring sales.
Geneva is a great nursery center; at one
time it was the leading feature of the dis-
trict. In earlier years, little Fall lifting-
was done and storage cellars were un-
known.

The Streptocarpus

This plant is not often seen in nurse-
ries and is not common even in private
gardens. Yet, as a pot plant it is charm-
ing and might come in mighty handy for
the retail grower to sell around August.
Wonderful advances have been made in
latter years so that it is not now merely
a purple and white flower of modest
size. The flowers are steadily approach-
ing that of the Gloxinia and, if anything,
the blooms are more dainty and less liable
to damage. Raised and treated more or
less like a Gloxinia it flowers freely. Re-

The Market

The demand continues to be brisk
and business is good, with enough stock
to go around, and from all indications
the new season has opened in earnest.

The supply of Roses is increasing, and
the quality is fine, especially Columbia
and Premier with Mme. Butterfly close
behind. Ophelia. Sunburst, American
Legion, and Pilgrim complete the list.
Carnations are improving both in quan-
tity and quality, and it will not be long
until they take their rightful place on
the wholesaler's list. 'Mums are also
more plentiful and will be the backbone
of the market from now till Thanksgiv-
ing.

Lilies are scarce and clean up at good
prices. Dahlias are at their best and
vast quantities are being moved daily.
Gladioli and Asters are about over, but
there are still a few arriving ; the qual-
ity is poor.

The supply of orchids and Valley has
fallen short of the demand and they have
been bringing good prices. Delphinium
is still in evidence and sells readily.

News Notes

Ed. Niggle and John Walley, of
The McCallum Co. and their wives are

Falls.

This chart aims to give in diagram form an idea of what is possible in the way of organization
among nurservmen. The duties of the A. A. N. would be (1) Federal action; (2) .Arbiter and
connecting link between districts. The duties of District Associations would be (1) Developing
a sales demand within each district; and (2) controlling production as much as possible through
' accurate stock reports. The duties of the State bodies would be (li State action of all kinds,
including quarantines, in cooperation with the A. A. N.; and (2) taking care of the social aspect.

Lancaster, Pa.

News Notes

Sept. 30. — The retail trade con-
tinues to improve in a very satisfactory-
manner and every indication points to
good business. With the continued dry
weather, flowers become scarcer every
day and this has some influence in send-
ing people to the stores; the back yards
are failing to supply their quota for the
front of the house decorating.

At the Barr greenhouses they are cut-
ting some very good 'Mums, Golden Glow
and Smith's Advance. Roses and Carna-
tions are improving and Dahlias, where
they have been watered, are wonderfully
fine so that the public wants are being
filled all right, but the variety of flow-
ers, usual at this season, is limited.

Lancaster Fair

When one sees. the floral displays
made at fairs in other sections, Lancas-
ter must bow her head m shame; our
fair displays are the worst kind of a
farce.

The B. F. Barr Co. always makes a
good and well arranged display of their
nursery stock and they report an un-
precedented lot of sales prospects from
the display this season. This is where
they have to look for returns as the fair
officials do not see fit to make any in-
ducement to have the flonstsi make a dis-
play. Outside of the Barr Nursery propo-
sition, it would not pay as an advertising
proposition. -. •

Temporary quarters were secured, and
the company will be ready for capacity

be built immediately. New stock is being
received and numerous foreign shipments
are on the way.

Albany, N. Y.

Trade Prospects

Oct. 2. — The calendar shows us
that Summer has passed but the present
glorious weather has embued everyone
with the hope that perhaps for once, the
immutable processes of Nature have been
arrested. Today the thermometer climbed
to 84 in the shade and the entire day and
night bespoke a semi-tropical condition.
Man and beast reveled in the soft per-
vading warmth and devoutly wished for
an unending state of affairs. But there
is just a touch of pathos in all this, for
as we look about us, we realize that the
gardens, only a few weeks ago so vivid in
their many hues and so fresh with the
brilliance of Nature's green, have com-
pleted their short spans of life. The
sparkling colors have faded and the green
of foliage and grass is slowly but surely
giving way to the brown of Autumn.

Business, after lying dormant for many-
weeks past, has received a new impetus

and, with the passing of the outdoor
stock becoming more and more pronounced
each day, the demand for greenhouse
grown stock has consequently been great-
er. But the supply is insufficient and
until Chrysanthemums become a factor in
the market, conditions are not likely to
change. A few Golden Glow 'Mums are
available but not in quantity, but another
week should see a great improvement in
this direction. Roses are the principal
reliance at this time, but even they are
in limited supply and of course finding
a brisk demand. Gladioli and Asters
have just about disappeared and after
the tremendous glut of them this past
Summer, no one is particularly sorry.

The greenhouse man is busy these days
as the season is now in full swing for him
and the various greenhouses are begin-
ning to give indications of what we may
expect in the way of production this Win-
ter. Of one thing Ave are certain; there
will be far less Paperwhites offered as
many growers have refused to plant with
good bulbs quoted at such high prices.

Troy Florist in Trouble

Joseph P. Gettings, who for several
years past has conducted the Colonial
Flower Shop at 452 Fulton St., Troy, N.
Y., has filed a voluntary petition in bank-
ruptcy with assets given as $1000 and
liabilities $3000. Everyone regrets that
Mr. Gettings found it necessary to dis-
continue doing business and we hope that
misfortune will not tarry long at his
door and that he may have the opportu-
nity to reestablish himself.
Accidental Death of a Florist

The trade was greatly saddened
this past week at the untimely end of
Wesley Warner, who was well and favor-
ably known to all. Mr. Warner, _ for a
number of years past had been in the
florist business on the Loudonville road
and through the excellence of his products
and his own genial nature found many
admirers. While inspecting the reservoir
which supplied his greenhouses, Mr.
Warner stepped upon the wooden cover-
ing which gave way and plunged him into
the water. Being unable to swim, he was
drowned. It is most unfortunate that
no one was nearby at the time for none
of the family knew that Mr. Warner had
returned from the city whence he had
gone but a short time before in his car.
The sympathy of all is extended to Mrs.
Warner and family in their great loss.

News Notes

F. A. Danker is bewailing the ef-
fects of the recent frost upon his mag-
nificent Dahlia collection. Mr. Danker's
Dahlias are always a source of delight,
not only to their owner, but to the great
number of people who now make an an-
nual visit to the nursery to see this great
sight.

H. Lewis Menand and Mrs. Menand
have at last taken a well earned vaca-
tion from the cares of business and we
trust that they have thoroughly enjoyed
the trip in their new car. J. S. H.

Auburn, N. Y.

. Frosts and dry weather combined to
shorten the season for Asters and most
of the other outdoor flowers. The de-
mand for Carnations and Roses is increas-
ing in direct proportion. The call for
plants and ferns, too, indicates that the
Autumn season is on. Local Chrys-
anthemums have made their appearance.
Funeral and decorative work continues
light. W. B.

Rose, The Queen Alexandra

A reader is desirous of trying out this
variety, which like Juliet, has the unique
red coloring with old gold reverse. _ Per-
haps one of our specialists has this va-
riety to offer and will write us.

A Giant Dahlia

At the recent Dahlia Show held at the
Hotel Pennsylvania, a 12in. example of
Uncle Sam was displayed. It was con-
sidered one of the largest Dahlias ever
grown. Judging from a picture in one
of the New York papers, where it was
shown beside little Gladys W. Weller.
of Brooklyn, it had a stem about three
and one-half feet.

The Florists Exchange

Richmond, Va.

An item which was published in our
issue of Sept. 30, on page 885, was not
fully correct. J. Bernard Hobbs, when
sixteen years of age went to work for
Mann & Brown at 5 West Broad st. Aug.
11,1898. On Feb. 18, 1918, Mr. Mann,
who was Mr. Hobbs' uncle, gave the lat-
ter his interest, and at same time Mr,
Hobbs purchased Mr. Brown's interest,
and continued the business under the firm
name of Mann & Brown. Mr. Hobbs
owns a garden of 12 acres, of which 2Vz
acres are under glass, the location being
within the present city limits.

On June 20 last, Mr. Hobbs purchased
the property at 8 West Grace st., at a
cost of $35,000. The remodeling is to
cost over $15,000, and the new fixtures
over $5000. Mr. Hobbs expects to move
into the new flower shop as soon as pos-
sible after Christmas. The plans fur-
nished us by Mr. Hobbs show some special
devices for Christmas and Easter in that
at that time he will be enabled to use
the entire floor and 50ft.x20ft. greenhouse
attached, for his plant display. Another
feature is that the second floor will be ar-
ranged and reserved for wedding dis-
plays.

Beaumont, Tex.

News Notes

Summer has gone, but all plants are
putting on new growth, and people are
planting gardens tor a Fall crop. Mums
are not in yet, and Roses are scarce. Flo-
rists are compelled to ship in to meet the
fairly good demand.

The Beaumont Floral Co. is cutting a
heavy crop of Roses, Columbia leading.
J. A.' Trapp, Rose grower for the company,
has been sick to the extent that he had
to be moved to the hospital. He is now
out w-alking around and will be soon again
at his work.

Robert K. Clyne, who had charge of the
Beaumont Floral Co. greenhouses, left
last Spring for a tour of the South and
East, spending most of his time in the
New England States. He has arrived
back and will take up his work again.

The Park Greenhouses report a fine
crop of 'Mums coming on. Golden Glow
and Chrysolora are the early varieties
grown.

Mrs. T. W. Bergin grows all her 'Mums
outdoors, and states they have never had
so fine an appearance. If this counts,
she will have some wonders.

Beaumont is now looking forward to
the South Texas State Fair, which prom-
ises to be a great booster. It will open
Nov. 2 to 11. A few of our florists ex-
pect to rent booths and have displays,
which will mean a lot of publicity.

New Orleans, La.

Florists Club Organized

Sept. 30. — At last the big thing
has happened in New Orleans florists'
circles. The thing which has so long
been looked forward to. and which will
be of so much benefit to all concerned.
We take great pleasure in introducing
the New Orleans Retail Florists Club,
which only last Wednesday came into
existence. We feel sure that in the near
future great things will be done by this
new organization. We realize of course
that there are many stones in its path
of progress, many obstacles to be over-
come, but with grit and perseverance and
a willingness to cooperate, success can-
not help but be the goal to which it will
ultimately climb.

The Temporary Officers

Practically all of the retail flo-
rists in the city last Wednesday night
assembled in the spacious rooms which
compose the flower shop of U. J. Virgin,
and there made all preparations for the
founding of the new club. J. G. Schatt-
maier Was made temporary chairman of
the meeting, for it was Mr. Schattmaier
who first started the movement for a
separate organization composed only of
retail florists. Peter A. Chopin was ap-
pointed temporary secretary ; and C. W.
Eichling with Charles Eble was ap-
pointed a committee to draft the consti-
tution and bylaws of the club. This or-
ganization will be entirely separate from
the New Orleans Horticultural Society ;
no nurserymen, seedsmen or anyone not
vning and operating a retail shop will

be permitted to become a member. In
this way many questions which will be
of benefit to retail florists only, can be
discussed and acted upon. The keynote
of the club will be "Cooperativeness." It
was formed purely for cooperative pur-
poses so that the local florists from now
on, instead of working against each other
on a competitive basis, will work with
each other for the mutual benefit of all
concerned.

One of tlie main purposes of the club
will be to permit the local florists to
bunch their orders for flowers thus enab-
ling them to buy in quantity to the best
advantage ensuring- the lowest rates pos-
sible and the best quality, of blooms.
They are also going to work out an
elaborate scheme of advertising on a
cooperative basis inserting whole pages
in the local newspapers, where formerly
only individual cards appeared. The or-
ganization will also establish its own
credit bureau for protection against un-
scrupulous buyers.

The club will meet probably twice a
month at first with the possibility of in-
creased meetings later on. The next
meeting will be held next Thursday at
which time the constitution will be
adopted, the by-laws read and the officers
elected.

The club at its first meeting discussed
Chrysanthemums and other cut flowers
for All Saints Day. The prospects, so
far, are exceptionally good, and the qual-
ity of the blooms is unusual. The prin-
cipal variety, and the one most widely
grown, is the white Robinson. It is
hoped that the local crop will suffice to
fill the large numbers of orders which
will come in at that time since this is
probably the biggest day -on the flower
calendar of the New Orleans florist.
Northern markets are rather inclined to
take advantage of this fact.

H. E. Berning, the wholesale florist of
St. Louis, who was in the city at the
time the meeting was held, was present
and made an interesting talk to the as-
sembly, giving some valuable suggestions
on cooperative ideas. Mr. Berning
stopped several days with Mrs. Berning
at the Hotel Grunewald and was enter-
tained by the local trade.

Nursery Inspections

Claiming that in spite of the additional
sum appropriated by the last Legislature
at Baton Rouge, nursery inspection work
in New Orleans under the direction of
the State Department of Agriculture has
become more inefficient rather than bet-
ter. The New Orleans Horticultural So-
ciety at a special meeting Wednesday
night, passed resolutions demanding that
$10,000 appropriated by the State for
this work be made effective.

The resolutions read in full :

"Whereas: The nursery inspection work in
New Orleans has been inefficiently main-
tained of late and notice recently has been
given that the central office and fumigation
plant in New Orleans is to be closed except
for an hour in the morning and an hour in
the evening, and

"Whereas: Three inspectors have been dis-
charged from the inspection forces and not
replaced; therefore, be it

"Resolved, That the New Orleans Horti-
cultural Society take up the question with the
State Department in Baton Rouge and insist
that the $10,000, which was appropriated for
nursery inspection work be forthcoming for
this work; also that the office and central
fumigation plant be kept open for the use of
horticulturists and the public of New Orleans;
also be it

"Resolved, That all New Orleans nurseries
be inspected each month and, where necessary,
cleanup measures be instituted; also, be it

"Resolved, That the city of New Orleans
spray and clean up all city trees infected by
injurious insects in the vicinity of nurseries
and that private residents be required to clean
up any plants on their premises which men-
ace such nurseries.

"Resolved, also, That the New Orleans Hor-
ticultural Society ask W. E. Anderson, State
entomologist, why a sufficient force of in-
spectors has not been maintained in New
Orleans to cope with the nursery inspection
problems efficiently."

Passing of the resolutions followed an-
nouncement by Robert T. Hobsdn, chief
inspector of the entomological division of
the State Department of Agriculture,
that the central office maintained here
will be closed except for two hours daily.

It was decided at the meeting to make
efforts to have the city appropriate
money for the spraying of trees in the
vicinity of nurseries as being essential to
favorable competition wdth nurseries in
other States. According to an estimate

to be brought to the attention of the com-
mission council soon, $5000 will be
needed for four sprayings annually. This
would also provide for spraying the mu-
nicipal nurseries from which trees for
the parks and other public grounds are
obtained.

Lower Express Rates Wanted

Claiming that the present rate of
express compels local florists to have to
sell out-of-town shipments of flowers at
almost prohibitive prices, therefore de-
creasing the number of sales to an ap-
preciable extent and at the same time
increasing the chances of dead stock, the
New Orleans Horticultural Society at
their regular monthly meeting, appointed
a committee to confer with the express
people. The committee is composed of
U. J. Virgin, chairman, Max Seheinuk,
J. G. Schattmaier and Peter A. Chopin
and will take steps immediately toward
getting lower rates on flower shipments.

It was likewise decided not to grow
any Paperwhite Narcissus on account of
the increased expense of the bulbs in
this district. By the time the bulbs have
been ordered and the express charges
paid and considering the time which
must be expended in their culture, in or-
der to make anything like a fair margin
of profit the flowers must be sold at a
price which the public is unwilling- to
pay. The growing of Candytuft was sug-
gested as a substitute as this can be
equally well used for fill-in work.

Mrs. Weinfield addressed the members
at the meeting in behalf of the Home for
Incurables and asked the society to as-
sist in making the grounds more attrac-
tive for the unfortunate inmates. The
society promised that they would "Say
it with Flowers'' by laying out the gar-
den with blooming plants.

E. A. Farley, of the Gentilly Ridge
Nursery gave an interesting talk on Eas-
ter Lily Culture. He gave some impor-
tant pointers, which he has learned from
experience.

J. A. Alost was elected to membership.

The meeting was held at the nursery
of Canone Brothers at Metairie Ridge
and Labarre rds. and the members were
shown over the new refrigerating plant
which that concern has just finished in-
stalling. The plant was purchased from a
local concern ; the machine alone cost
$1500. The new refrigerating room will
be of much benefit in getting out _ early
morning shipments to the local florists,
for the blooms can now be cut at night
and kept cool for early delivery. Previ-
ously they had to be cut in the morning,
which meant either very early rising
hours or late deliveries.

Grow at Home Idea Pushed

. The movement encouraging horti-
culturists of this vicinity to grow more
flowers at home and thus keep an abun-
dant supply always on hand to supply
the local market is gaining increased
favor daily. The high express rates
make it impracticable for the florists to
place large orders out of town. This
seems to be a propitious time for a "Buy
at Home" movement to make much head-
way. There is no reason why New Or-
leans should not be a big flower growing
section, for the climate is well adapted to
work of this kind being more nearly the
same temperature the year around than
almost any other spot in the United
States. Rain too is abundant and the ex-
penses of keeping greenhouses at the nec-
essary temperature are reduced to a mini-
mum. The soil is the rich delta land of
the Mississippi Valley and fertilizer ex-
penses would be necessarily low. There-
fore, everything at the present time
seems to be in favor of more home town
growing, while very little if anything can
be found against it. C. J. M.

The Market

Oct. 3. — The demand last week gave
every indication of the opening up of
good' wholesale business. Buying was
brisk and there was the good feeling of
satisfaction all- around. There is a big
supply of Dahlias, and the fancy varieties
are selling at excellent prices. Of course,
this stock will be the big factor until
frost. The season is about over for
Gladioli and Asters, and just why we
have but a few early Chrysanthemums
this week is hard to understand. Usually
at this time we have plenty early yellow
and white varieties. Roses are of much

better quality and arrivals steadily in-
creasing. Plenty of Easter Lilies about.
We hear of single Violets and Carnations
arriving in regular shipments, and with
good long stems and size of flowers im-
proving.

Of the miscellaneous floivers the arrivals
are heavy, with the exception of Del-
phinium and Snapdragon. All kinds of
greens are meeting with larger demand.
Asparagus sprays were scarce one or two
days last week. Oak and Autumn foli-
age will soon be along; it is coloring up
finely.

News Notes

The last meeting of the general
committee of local F. T. D. prior to annual
meeting, Oct. 10, 11 and 12, was held at
Vice-president Feast's office on Tuesday.
The final arrangements have been perfect-
ed and all is in readiness. The local
members of the big association are virtu-
ally resting on their oars until the first
flag is hoisted on Sunday to welcome the
early arrivals. As the delegates and their
friends arrive they will be gathered into
the Maryland fold and made Baltimoreans
by right of adoption. Sure, it's business
all day Tuesday and Wednesday, but re-
serve some of your smiles and strength
for Thursday when the old town plays
host. The day's celebration will be a
great family jubilation. Don't miss it.

Wm. F. Keys, Jr., is making vast im-
provements to the Hartford ave. store,
putting in a new front and pulling out
partitions, making the increase in floor
space very noticeable.

John M. Rider, superintendent for Wm.
F. Cochran at Woodbrook, had a serious
fall from a tree on Tuesday last, breaking
his left leg between the knee and the
ankle. Mr. Rider was doing some tree
surgery work at the time of the accident.
He is at the Union Protestant Infirmary,
and convalescing nicely. Joe says:
"Cousin Johnny ought to leave that tree
climbing stuff to the squirrels."

I'll say Henry J. Betz is shipping a
classy bunch of Dahlia blooms to W. E.
MeKissick. The varieties Jean Kerr,
Patrick O'Mara, Attraction, Flamingo and
Mina Burgle are specially fine stock.

Wm. H. Mowatt, formerly with Isaac
H. Moss, Inc., is now associated with the
Baltimore Wholesale Florists and Supply
Co.

The interior of the S. S. Pennock Co.'s
floral warehouse at" St. Paul and Frank-
lin sts., has been newly painted and deco-
rated.

R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co. opened up
the big annual Dahlia show on Tuesday,
with perfect weather and the military
band of the Maryland Training School for
Boys, under the able leadership of Leon
Faulkner, superintendent. The Rotary
and Kiwanis Clubs attended the first day.
The show will continue until Saturday.
Full account in the next issue.

The many old friends of Wm. Madsen
will be sad to learn of the death of his
beloved wife, on Sept. 24. Mrs. Frances
Madsen was aged 81 years, and the fu-
neral services were from her late resi-
dence on Gittings ave., Govans. Inter-
ment at the Presbyterian Cemetery of

Peter P. Zika of 425 North Port st.
has remodeled the greenhouses situated
on Loneys Lane and East North ave.,
wdiich he has taken over from) Edw.
Kress, the work including the installation
of an uptodate heating system, the paint-
ing of the houses and cutting through of
partitions. The latter is of benefit to
the stock Mr. Zika grows, which consists
of Carnations, Chrysanthemums, Sweet
Peas and pot plants.

Peter Kohles has a handsome new de-
livery truck "Saying it with Flowers"
about town.

H. C. Neubrand of Roman J. Irwin, was
looking up the trade on Monday.

Sieck & Glick report the season open-
ing up nicely. The Rose shipments from
Stevenson Bros., especially the Premiers,
are extra, fine. The arrivals of good Val-
ley and Easter Lilies are increasing every
day and will be a feature from now on.
John W. Penn Sons, the well known Car-
nation men, are cutting from a big plant- .
ing of White Enchantress.

W. E. MeKissick's new delivery truck
is a beauty. R. H.

At Memphis, Tenn., the Johnson Flo-
ral Co., will begin operations immediately
near Belclair station on a large range of

The Florists Exchange

94-3

Hartford, Conn.

With the approach of indoor activities,
the demand for cut flowers and plants
is decidedly on the increase. Indications
are that this Winter will find our busi-
ness better than ever before. In fact
stock is somewhat scarce as the outdoor
flower supply is waning, although there
has been no killing frost iu this vicinity
as yet. Chrysanthemums are coming in
slowly. Funeral work is increasing every
week. And there are the usual large
number of Fall weddings.

Bulbs are finding their way to the city.
Unfortunately, the largest part of many
orders have come in under the new tariff
schedule. Additional import duties are
never welcome.

Just a word about the coal conditions
here. We have no oil-burning plants
hereabouts. And none of us have a full
Winter's supply of the elusive coal,
either. But we all have enough to run
full blast until our Christmas clearance,
and are going ahead hopefully. The long
spell of fair weather we are now enjoy-
ing seems conducive to larger deliveries
of coal.

We spoke of the Connecticut Horti-
cultural Society's Fall exhibition two
weeks ago. And there is not room here
for a list of the entries and winners.
But we hear on all sides that it was the
best between New York and Boston and
so make mention of its beauties again.
The setting itself was ideal. Hartford
is justly proud of its venerable State
House and the colonial interiors were a
most wonderful background for the
scheme of decorations. The approaches
and open stone porch were massed with
shrubbery, and the wide halls and curv-
ing stairways were banked with palms
and ferns. * Downstairs were the local
retailers' exhibits, which the public
greatly admired. The upper floor was
devoted to the entries in all classes — a
riot of Fall colors.

The motto of some of our florists here
is "Pleasure after Business," for there
is a group being made up to take in the
World's series in New York this week.
We wish them good weather. Last Sun-
day saw a bunch of us embarked on a
similar combined business and pleasure
excursion. Repeating the journey of
last Fall, we went up to our progressive
growers around Boston. We saw How-
ard's Carnations in Milford and Nel-
son's. Goddard's at Framingham, and
Butterworth's. where the lovely orchids
were greatly enjoyed. We hope to travel
up that way once more a little later in
the season. "An ounce of inspection is
worth many $." A. F. L.

Paperwhite and Other Bulb Troubles

Florists and seedsmen in this part
of Maine are having their troubles this
year in getting their supply of Holland
and French bulbs. In most cases, where
the orders were given to representatives
of Holland houses, nothing has been
said about Paperwhite Narcissi — they
were just "forgotten" when it came to
filling the general orders for bulbs. One
florist informed me that some time ago
he received a letter stating that "Paper-
whites would be high and could not be
supplied for less than a certain sum of
money," but the letter did not say that
the Dutch concern would send the bulbs,
or would await his reply. At any rate
at this late date no Paperwhites have
arrived, and if he wants these bulbs he
has got to go onto the market and buy,
paying the prices charged.

We do not understand the ways of the
Dutchmen, and probably never will. I
have talked with a number of florists
and we all agree that having given our
orders last Winter in good faith, we
should have received our Paperwhites
through the Dutch solicitors, as well as
our Holland stock. Why should we be

turned down in such manner? A number
of importers have not even received any
■word from their Dutch bulb growers in
regard to the Paperwhites and. have
waited for their stock, thinking that per-
haps they had been held up in New York
for some reason or other.

Maplewood Greenhouses. Bangor, have
received some of their bulbs from Hol-
land, but at present they are the only
ones in this district. Brockway, Florist,
Dover-Foxcroft, stated by telephone that
he had not heard from his bulbs and had
no idea where they were. G. S. Seavey
& Sou. Florists and Seedsmen, have been
notified that their shipment is on the
way, via rail freight. Shipment should
have been made by boat from New York
to all Maine ports for prompt deliveries,
as rail freight is very uncertain. It is
now Oct. 1 and but few days remain be-
fore cold weather sets in. It 'is surely
discouraging for the florists and seeds-
men in this part of Maine, who have
planned on a Fall bulb business. Last
year bulbs were delivered as early as
Sept. 7 to Id and dealers experienced a
fine selling season.

Another hardship for local dealers is
that bulbs from the port cities have been
coming into the territory for some two
weeks, filling orders that local concerns
could have filled if they had had the
bulbs. Unless something happens right
away, heavy losses are bound to come
to them, and thousands of bulbs will be
left on their hands, unsold.

Heavy frosts have killed practically
all outdoor flowers, and now the public
is beginning to look to the florists for
their supply. Potted plants are begin-
ning to move, and florists are busy filling
flower boxes for indoor use.

Bangor florists are sure of their coal
for the Winter, much to their relief. Al-
ready barges are being unloaded at the
wharves, and substantial deliveries are
being made. There is considerable soft
coal to be had, and the coal dealers say
that in 60 days there will be enough hard
coal in stock to take care of the general
needs. H. E. S.

Toronto, Ont.

News Notes

There were many weddings during
September and from the present outlook,
October will also be a wedding month.
Some of the florists state that September
would soon equal June as a month for
weddings. Outside of this class of busi-
ness, trade has been rather slow; flowers
in abundance, including Gladioli, Roses,
'Mums, Dahlias, Carnations, etc. With
the warm weather continuing during Sep-
tember, outside flowers are plentiful.
Prices, therefore, are low and though
there may be many sales, the total as
shown on the cash register is not great.
Florists anticipate that business will be
much more brisk should cold weather
come.

S. A. McFadden of Tidy & Son report
many weddings recently.

Arcade Florist had a dollar window last
week the articles being chiefly vases and
ferns.

W. G. McFadden had an Autumn win-
dow last week. Oak leaves, ferns and
vines formed a background for the flow-
ers. A fountain, illuminated, gave an ex-
cellent effect at night.

J. J. Higgins, marshall of the Balti-
more trip, reports that between 12 and
15 will go from Toronto. Several of
them will visit New York and Atlantic
City.

The Toronto papers carried a photo-
graph of Charles Grakelow last week as
he appeared, smiling as usual, when land-
ing from his European trip.

The Gardeners and Florists Club will
meet on Oct. 16. The Toronto Retail
Florists Club will meet on Oct. 2 in-
stead of the ninth. This is for the ac-
commodation of the florists taking in the

F. T. D. annual meeting at Baltimore.

G. M. Geraghty is in favor of the big an-
nua] gathering. He believes it is a good
stimulant to business to meet the men
with whom you are doing business each
year. New friends are also made and
additional business results.

W. G. Warren, florist on Bloor st. west,
in a desire to give efficient delivery serv-
ice, has purchased a new truck. It is
finished in olive green with gold letters,
the slogan, "Say it with Flowers" being
prominently displayed.

W. E. Groves of the John Connon Co.,
Ltd., Hamilton, is to address the West To-
ronto Kiwanis Club at the Sunnyside
Pavilion at 12.30 on Oct. 12. His sub-
ject will be "Saying it with Flowers —
When and How."

At the Fall show at Brampton, on Sept.
25, Dale Estate carried off the premier
honors among the professional growers
with flower exhibits.

The Fall flower show of the Kingston
Horticultural Society was a great success.
This society's influence has stimulated in-
terest among the local amateur and pro-
fessional florists with wonderful results.

It is reported that the business of Ma-
dame Lefebvre, Quebec City, florist, has
been dissolved. G. C. K.

Montreal, Que.

Business from the florists' point of
view in this section, is fairly good. Some
few changes have taken place. H. W.
McKenna, who has managed the Quebec
store of McKenna, Ltd., has taken over
the store, trading under his own name.
McKenna's have opened a very nice store
in the north end of the city on Laurier
ave. Miss Fisher, who has been asso-
ciated with McKennas for a number of
years, is in charge.

The vexed question of the sales tax as
applied to cut flowers, has again been
changed; it would be well if the Depart-
ment of Taxation knew just what should
be the amount. It has varied from 1%
to 4% per cent. The florists know taxa-
tion must be paid; the public pays in
the long run, but they do not like the
way things have gone in the past. If
a fixed rate was applied, then it would
work smoothly.

Win. Hall of Hall and Robinson has
sold his retail store. This firm has been
in business for quite a long time. The
purchaser is G. D. Reed of E. Wienhoe-
ber Co., Chicago, 111. Mr. Hall is going
to devote his energy to growing of plants
for the trade. The Cyclamen is to Mr.
Hall, par excellence; he is trying with
the help of his henchman, Gus, to improve
this plant; he does not believe in tak-
ing second place in production of this im-
portant plant. He has a nice range at
Montreal West.

Mr. Brown of the Dominion Floral Co.
has returned to town feeling better for
his stay at Atlantic City. His brother
Charles has returned to Ottawa, Ont.

Atlanta, Ga.

Garden Lore by Radio

The Atlanta Journal has recently
instituted a home gardening department
edited by Wm. B. Deckner, who, in this
section, is considered the foremost au-
thority on the subject. During tH late
war Mr. Deckner was in charge of the
Journal's war garden where, through ac-
tual demonstrations, he taught Atlanta
citizens theretofore unfamiliar with gar-
dening, just how to make the soil pro-
duce its maximum.

The Journal has now gone itself one
better. On its Friday radio broadcast-
ing program, from 5 to 6 p.m., Mr. Deck-
ner lectures to his invisible audience on
home gardening and it is impossible to
estimate the good accomplished.

We do not think it out of place to give
a brief description of W. S. B., the Jour-
nal's broadcasting station, as no doubt

thousands in our trade have become radio
enthusiasts. The Atlanta Journal broad-
casts on a Western Electric 500 watt set;
it has been in operation less than a year,
but in that time has established an en-
viable reputation in radio circles by hav-
ing been heard in Canada, Cuba and
Mexico and in all but two States of the
Union.

The Journal building is but one block
fii. in the scene of the fire reported in
last week's letter and many who were list-
ening in on its 10.45 p.m. program were
startled to hear in the course of its musi-
cal program, the announcement of the
fire with vivid descriptions of its progress.

Three Atlanta florists who are radio
fans were brought to the scene of the
blaze through this announcement, includ-
ing H. S. Gilson, J. P. Russell and the
Atlanta correspondent.

As far as we can learn this is the first
case on record where an eye witness des-
cription of a conflagration has been broad-
casted by radio and in some measure the
success in combating the blaze is attrib-
uted to the fact that many fire fighters,
who were home were radio fans and of
course reported for duty at once.

In Defense of the Southland

We have been waiting for some
one in Columbus, Ga., to take issue with
its correspondent on his description of
local conditions as printed in The Ex-
change of Sept. 16, but evidently they do
not take his letter seriously, for they have
not replied. If conditions are as reported
we strongly recommend that florists there
move to better climes or change occupa-
tions.

As Atlanta is included in the sweeping
description, which covers everything
south of the Mason and Dixon line, we
rally to the defense. It is evident that
the Columbus correspondent is from some
point above that line, but it is inexplica-
ble why he, having, as we understand,
lived in the South for about seven years
and acquainted himself with its condi-
tions, should go back North for two or
more years only to again return to these
conditions. There is only one logical
conclusion and that is that after all the
South is a good old place in which to
live, as the Atlanta correspondent can
testify, having himself come from above
Mason and Dixon's line, but having spent
the major portion of his life in the South.

As many successful florists and nursery-
men are located in the South (including
our brother correspondent's own city of
Columbus) it is clear that if conditions
exist that are not conducive to success-
ful plant culture they have been over-
come by these progressive florists.

The funeral of our late Senator "Tom"
Watson, held at his home in Thomson,
Ga., this past week, brought a heavy de-
mand on the local trade for design work
and many beautiful offerings were sent,
including a handsome wreath from the
State of Georgia, made by Wachendorff
Bros. This was made of Dahlias of a
pleasing orchid shade and finished with
Kaiserin Roses, white Carnations and
Swainsona. Wachendorff Bros, have an
enviable collection of Dahlias, including
some of the renowned Judge Marean va-
rieties and flowers measuring Sin. in
diameter, are often produced.

At the annual flower show at the
Southeastern Fair it has become a fore-
gone conclusion that they will get the
blue ribbons, as the large number decor-
ating their offices will testify.

Charles J. Wachendorff has been visit-
ing southern nurserymen this past week,
touching at Augusta, Ga., Wilmington,
Greensboro, N. C., and other points.

We are glad to report that B. G. Brown
of the Joy Floral Co. has left the hospi-
tal and is now at home recuperating
from his operation.

The West View Floral Co. has added
four men to its force at the greenhouses
and is pushing along the Fall work.

The Coming F. T. D. Meeting

Two main essentials of a successful business meet-
ing are, first, some important, worth while subject to
discuss and act upon, and, second, a group of. live,
interested members ready to say what they think and
sincere in their not too similar opinions. Accordiug
to such a recipe the impending F. T. D. gathering at
Baltimore ought to be a veritable "humdinger.'"

That the members who will be on hand — by the
hundreds according to all reports — are wideawake,
progressive, clearsighted business men cannot be ques-
tioned. They have ideas and opinions and they know
how to express them. Plenty of talks and counter-
talks of real inspirational value can be anticipated.

As to interesting and significant topics, they are,
as the negro mammy said, "what we ain't got nothin'
else in de house but." All important, for instance, is
the Clearing House question and, right on its heels,
the matter of District Organization, the school of
floristry, trade ethics and their supervision, etc. The
preliminary expressions of opinion on these topics in
the trade press have served to bring out the diverging
views and to define the several issues; the meeting,
itself, will provide the critical opportunity for final
decision and action.

Viewing the subject in the large, the most outstand-
ing advantage of the clearing house plan would seem
to be the economy it will effect in the central handling
of many accounts. This, of course, will mean the
most to the large retailers .who have the largest vol-
umes of trade and for whom the commission charged
for handling collections, etc., will be nominal indeed.

Somewhat offsetting this is the objection that no
merchant cares to have the details of his business
gone over and practically kept on file in the offices of
a body made up in part, perhaps, of his competitors.
To meet this, it might be suggested that the actual
handling of these accounts in the central office be put
in the hands of absolutely neutral, disinterested indi-
viduals, such as a firm of certified auditors of ac-
knowledged reputation. Aside from taking no interest
in the figures, either in detail or as a whole, these
individuals could be placed under bond not to supply
the slightest information outside as to the amount or
nature of the business done by any member. To
them the figures would be mere data with which no
personality could be associated.

As to the point made that this system would re-
move an opportunity for this very personal touch
between florists in different States (often a most de-
sirable contact) it seems that this would in no way
affect the exchange of letters, confidences, etc., where
these can serve to keep up a friendly connection.
Bills and cheques are, at best, poor media for friendly
communication between fellow tradesmen. Why not,
indeed, let them be taken care of by the association
office, leaving more time and opportunity for personal
correspondence, and all it implies?

The nurserymen of the South and Southwest, said
John S. Kerr in his presidential address before the
Southwestern Nurserymen's Association, are far be-
hind their northern and eastern brethren in certain
lines — notably the matter of grading. This may be,
but if we can take Mr. Kerr as a type, they are far
from blind to important conditions and tendencies
that now exist. For instance, pointing out the dif-
ference ( oftentimes a distinct conflict ) between the
narrow theoretically trained mind and that of the
practical worker, he says, "I am inclined to believe
that Quarantine 37 is the outgrowth of this ultra-
theoretic administration of our country's affairs, many
thiims in it being unwise and contrary to the best
interests of the country." Truthful words those, and
rich in significance that will some day be more gener-
ally understood.

Mr. Kerr touches another live issue when he says
that "trees and flowers for our prisons, etc.," is a
matter that is receiving much attention in some quar-
ters and may well interest us. Indeed, it may well
interest horticultural interests everywhere, for rarely
is offered a better chance to enjoy the rewards of real
charity — which, like mercy, "blesseth him that gives
and him that takes."

ing readers astray. It is hard to be understood when
you try to tell the truth about such matters and realize
that many inexperienced readers are eager for some
"big story" of remarkable success, while others can see
absolutely nothing in the business. Now what can be
said about the business of growing- outdoor flowers in
this season, when prices of all fruit and garden crops
have just about struck bottom. Elmer J. Weaver [him-
self a florist] of Lancaster County, Pa., has had a good
chance to study the situation, and he saysr

"If anyone has been influenced by published articles
to plant flowers for sale this season, I am afraid he is
having a very uncomfortable time of it. In our locality
a number of farmers have gone into it rather exten-
sively, with the result that the markets have been
swamped the entire Summer, and the Philadelphia com-
mission men, to w'hom some of these exclusively Sum-
er shippers consigned their stock, simply requested
them to stop shipments. The only thing they could do
was to let the flowers die on the plants. They were just
about as far ahead, as a lot of assorted stock that our
children shipped to Philadelphia did not pay cutting
and shipping charges. Really, it looks as though the
greatest kindness one can do a prospective grower in
this line would be to discourage him entirely. The com-
mission men tell me they will not handle stock grown
outdoors, except as they are obliged to from regular
all-the-year shippers."

We would gladly give a more encouraging report if it
were possible, but it seems better to tell the truth and
face the situation. The business will come back once
more in the future, and those who can stick to it in a
conservative way will be repaid, but at this time the
outlook for flowers grown outdoors is not good.

We doubt whether the expose of this Summer's con-
ditions will have its effects upon the same eager
strivers for a little cash on the side when next Sum-
mer comes around ; but as an offset to discourage the
practice, we believe the wholesale commission flo-
rists have a perfect right to refuse consignments
which they never solicited, and which, before this,
the majority who handle them have discovered that
this handling was done at a loss.

In every community, even the little towns, there
are sufferers through the glut brought about by the
attempts of amateurs to make sales. In one small
town which the writer visited a few weeks ago ae
asked how business was and the florists said : "We
could make out and live if it were not for the fact
that the farmers bring flowers into the market and
sell them at a ridiculously low price, a price against
which we cannot attempt to compete."

As with everything else this question has two sides ;
but we rather believe that the florist with his in-
vested capital, his rent, his taxes, and all other over-
head expenses, is the aggrieved party. On the other
hand, it may be contended that the ability to pur-
chase flowers in the market at a low figure is reach-
ing a class of ultimate flower buyers. There is some
truth in this argument, but we fear not sufficient to
make good the damage done the commercial man.

The Farmer and Amateur in the Market

From every part of the country this season com-
plaints have been received as to the manner in which
farmers and out and out amateurs have been flooding
the wholesale commission men of our cities with flow-
ers grown outdoors, Gladioli, Dahlias, Asters, and
others. Tremendous crops of these flowers thus
thrown on the market have not been absorbed but
have gone to waste. Meanwhile the mischief has been
done in that these receipts have had a marked ten-
dency to reduce the prices of all stocks grown by the
commercial florist.

The fact that their energies have been misdirected,
in that all of their work has gone for naught, should
permanently discourage the amateur and the farmer
from persisting in raising the Summer cut flowers,
unless indeed they can find a definite market that will
give them returns. In this connection it is interest-
ing to read what the Rural Nero Yorker, one of the
greatest of our farm papers, has to say on the sub-
ject. Together with a letter which the Rural prints,
from Elmer J. Weaver, himself a commercial florist,
the situation is graphically portrayed, thus :

Outdoor Flowers and Mushrooms

During the past few years many farmers and garden-
ers have started growing cut flowers and Mushrooms.
For a time these lines seemed to promise well, and the
future was rosy. We had many questions about the
business, and we did our best to answer without lead-

Pertinent Points Relating to
Fuel Oil for Florists

By GUSTAVE THOMMEN

(Continued from last issue).

What Will Happen in a Severe Winter? Can Oil Be
Delivered in the Coldest Weather?

YES. It has been previously stated that a florist,
when he contemplates installing oil burning
equipment, should consult a reputable oil equip-
ment company, which will investigate the proposition
and will tell him whether or not it is safe and ad-
visable for him to adapt his heating plant to the use
of oil. It will also tell him what sort of oil to use
(of what gravity or density it should be) ; what ca-
pacity tank he should have to meet his requirements ;
and everything touching upon his problem. Such a
company will under no consideration undertake to
make ail installation if there is the least doubt of its
being able to deliver the oil under any and all cir-
cumstances; indeed, if it gets the contract for the
equipment, it will usually give a guarantee to deliver
the oil. For instance, it will never install equipment
where the greenhouses are located outside the radius
of delivery (which means 15 to 25 miles from the
tank station), or where the roads are in such a con-
dition that the delivery trucks cannot get through in
the severest of weather. A delivery truck will bring,
in one load, some 1500 gallons of oil, weighing over
five tons. The writer has personally seen tank trucks
delivering oil to a large greenhouse establishment
without trouble when there was more than two feet
of snow on the ground. This establishment, by the
wav, has been burning oil during the last few years
to heat half of its 150,000ft. of glass and is so well
satisfied that the other half has just been fitted out
with oil burning equipment. What is more, this es-
tablishment, moreover, commands only a small stor-
age capacity and depends entirely on the oil com-
pany to see that the oil supply is always replenished
when needed. -*

"We all remember the Winter, three years ago, when
street cars and railroads were tied up in city and
country, when hundreds of buildings, including
schools and factories, were closed down for want of
coal because the coal men could not deliver. At that
time the largest oil burner organization in this sec-
tion went right through that Winter and served every
one of its customers with oil in all sections of the
country, Massachusetts included. In fact it has never
failed to deliver oil since its first plant was installed
in Boston in 1915.

What Physical Changes Must Be Made in a Coal Burn-
ing Boiler to Prepare It for Burning Fuel Oil?

These vary, depending on the type of boiler to be
handled. In boilers with reasonably high settings it
is only necessary to remove the grates or to drop them
down and to install what is called a "firing floor" to
receive the checker work above which the oil is pro-
jected and through which the air, needed for combus-
tion, is filtered, so as to break It up and admit it at
the proper points ; also to superheat it. If the fire
box is short, the bridge wall may have to be moved
back ; this, together with dropping the grates, gives
greater combustion space and permits a higher rating
of the boiler to be taken off and resulting greater effi-
ciency. The changes needed in the boilers are really
not a great part of the work. The fire doors are al-
ways kept shut, a small hole being made below thera
where the burner is introduced.

What are the Benefits Derived from such a Change,
Either in Monetary or Other Form?

Aside from the monetary advantages there are some
which cannot be capitalized in dollars and cents and
put on the books, but which nevertheless have definite
value. Among these are the absolute cleanliness in
the fire room, engine room and adjoining parts of the
building; complete elimination of ashes and dust
caused by the handling of coal and ashes; also the
reduction to a minimum of the necessity of cleaning
the boiler tubes. The tank need not take up any
room in the building because it can be located under-
ground or outside the building. In cases where sev-
eral men are employed to care for the boilers when
coal is burned, one man can take care of as many as
eight or ten oil heated boilers. Where only one man
is employed to look after the boiler, or where the
proprietor does his own firing, an automatic system
of alarms can be installed, so the attendant will only
be needed in case something should go wrong. Once
the oil flame is lit it will burn with the same inten-
sity at all times and the steam gauge will show the
very least variation.

There is much argument in the air for and against
heating with oil. Many tend to condemn the practice
without ever having seen an oil burning plant in
operation. My impression is that if these people
would once go and see for themselves, they would
shortly argue the other way.

of Gardeners. At the end of this time they will be
examined by a special board and, if successful, will
receive the diploma of the National Association of
Gardeners.

This work will all be under the cooperative manage-
ment of the Massachusetts Agricultural College and
the National Association of Gardeners. The imme-
diate direction of instruction will be in the hands of
Professor Prank A. Waugh, Amherst, Mass., to whom
may be addressed all correspondence regarding these
matters.

Young Gardeners' Training Course

The course of training for young gardeners that
has been introduced by the Massachusetts Agricul-
tural College, cooperating with the National Associa-
tion of Gardeners, opened its first term on Sept. 27
with a number of students enrolled. Judging from
the number of inquiries that have been received, both
by the college and the association, the success of the
course already seems assured. This course of train-
ing is the first of its kind ever offered in this country
and offers an excellent opportunity to young men who
wish to engage in the profession of gardening, or in
some of the branches of commercial horticulture, to
secure a thorough theoretical experience as well as a
practical one.

The general plan of instruction is based upon the
two-year course already in successful operation at
Massachusetts Agricultural College. Students fitted
to take the course will be admitted each year in Sep-
tember, and will remain in residence at the college
for six months. During this time they will pursue
general studies in fruit growing, flower growing,
vegetable growing, forestry, general horticulture and
such elementary subjects as may be necessary. These
classes will close the last week in March and students
will be sent to various commercial establishments and
private estates for a Summer of practical work.
Every effort will be made to see that students are
advantageously placed so as to secure the best pos-
sible experience; and this Summer's apprenticeship
will be supervised by a committee representing jointly
the Massachusetts Agricultural College and the Na-
tional Association of Gardeners.

At the end of the Summer, students will return to
the college for an additional period of nine months'
study. They will thus complete this part of the course
in the following June and. if successful, will receive
n certificate from the college. From this point they
will enter upon an apprenticeship of two years, to be
arrsWiged and supervised by the National Association

Uptown Chicago Exposition

Broadway Armory, Oct. 16-17-18-19-20-21, 1922
Many Silver Cups Waiting for Growers

The flower show in connection with Uptown Chicago
Exposition promises to be a splendid success, both
as a show, and a publicity feature for flowers.
Already 20 growers have signified their intention of
exhibiting in several classes. Among them are two
large plant groups and novelties in Chrysanthemums,
Roses, and Carnations.

The Chicago daily papers are very anxious to get
news about the features of the flower show and
Chairman Peter Pearson desires to get pictures of
flowers, especially novelties, suitable to use in the
newspapers for publicity. Also any flower stories that
can be made into interesting publicity. Ail we need
is material, and free publicity will flow freely. All
growers should cooperate by sending a few flowers.
It is not necessary that all be exhibition stock.

The prizes offered this year are larger and more
valuable than last year. The following classes and
prizes are donated by the Uptown Chicago Ass'n :
Roses Cut

Class 1. 50 Premier. First prize, silver cup.

Class 2. 100 Columbia. First prize, silver cup.

Class 3. 100 Angelus. First prize, silver cup.

Class 4. 100 Crusader. First prize, silver cup.

Class 5. Amelia Gude. First prize, silver cup.

Class 6. A grand prize of a sterling: silver cup for
the best vase of 100 Roses, any variety.

Chrysanthemums

Class 7. 50 cut blooms, any color. First prize, silver
cup.

Class 8. 50 sprays Pompons. First prize, silver cup.

Class 9. Group of flowering plants, not less than 6in.
pots 12 plants. First prize, silver cup.

Class 10. Group of decorative plants, not less than
6in. pots, 25 plants. First prize, silver cup.

Class 11. 16 pots of Lily of the Valley, Tin. First
prize, silver cup.

Class 12. 6 'Mum plants, 8in. First prize, silver cup.

Class 13. 6 Boston ferns. 8in. First prize, silver cup.

Class 14. Display of Carnations, 3 varieties, 50
each. First prize, silver cup. _ .

Class 15. Meritorious exhibit, not otherwise provided
for. First prize, silver cup.

Provisions have been made for private growers'
classes, and suitable prizes have been provided. Fur-
ther details will be announced later. Suitable second
prizes will be awarded in all classes. '

Plants will be staged on Monday morning. Oct. 16.
Roses and Chrysanthemums on Tuesday, Oct. 17. and
Carnations Wednesday, Oct. IS.

Judging will be done according to the scale of the
American Rose Society, Carnation Society, and Chrys-
anthemum Society.

Any grower should be proud to gain one or more
of these prizes, both for pleasure, and for the use it
can be put to in advertising his business. There will
be lots of publicity for each winner.

certain conditions materialize they are also doleful.
Therefore when a correspondent can turn the doleful
into the droll to such an extent as to make disappoint-
ment in financial returns almost disappear, then I
say he has "accomplished a feat" in journalistic cir-
cles as well as provided a good hint to the whole-
salers. However, Mr. Editor, I am wondering if you
cannot induce him to go further and sing a siren's
song to the coal barons. It may be that he can
soften their hearts so that a special reduction will
be offered to us florists. S. B.

P. S. — Anyway it was an amusing way of describ-
ing a trade situation decidedly discouraging to grow-
ers, and most of us appreciate a little humor even in
a trade paper which generally is hardly regarded as
other than a serious publication.

A Correction — With Apologies

In the brief report of the convention of the South-
ern Nurserymen's Association published in the issue
of Sept. 23, we unintentionally withheld a deserved
meed of praise from one individual by giving it to
another. In some way the election returns were
mixed up and it was stated that W. W. Hillenmeyer
had been made president, whereas O. Joe Howard was
the sole nominee and the enthusiastically elected can-
didate. Our attention has been called to the error
by Mr. Hillenmeyer himself who, as it happens, was
elected vice-president and who writes : "Mr. Howard
was vice-president last year and succeeds to the
presidency this time. Please note this correction as
there is no member of the Southern Association that
deserves recognition more than Joe Howard. He has
served untiringly for many years as secretary, and it
is nothing more than right that the association should
have honored him with the presidency."

Nut Growers Meet in Georgia

We are but now in receipt of the program of the
21st Annual Convention of the National Nut Growers
Convention held at Thomasville, Ga„ Oct. 3 to 5. Un-

Charles Frost

We learn with regret of the death of Charles Frost,
of Kenilworth, N. J., on Sept. 22 last. Mr. Frost was
well known as a specialist in Pansy seed. At this
writing we have no further particulars.

William Weininger

William Weininger, of New York City, vyas found
on Monday morning, between 6 and 7 a.m. in an un-
conscious condition in the pit of the elevator shaft in
the Coogan Building, 55 to 57 West 2Sth st. He
passed awav without regaining consciousness while
being taken to the hospital. Mr. Weininger. who
at the time was sixty-three years old, was well
known in both the wholesale and retail trades of this
city. Formerlv he worked for many years for Hanft
Bros, at Madison ave. and 62d St. and later for sev-
eral years for Frederick Scheerer, manager of the
Carl Jergen's Department of the New York Cut Flower
Co., 55-57 W. 26th St.; also for Paul Meconi in the
same building. About six weeks ago he took the posi-
tion of elevator man in the Coogan Bldg. and was in
the pursuance of his duties when he met with the
accident which caused his death. Mr. Weininger was
a man of quiet manner, and his sudden passing away
is regretted by his many acquaintances and friends
in the trade. He is survived by a widow and three
daughters. The funeral services were held on Thurs-
day afternoon of this week at his late residence. 1129

James Currie

We regret to have to announce the death of James
Currie, one of the founders of Currie Bros., florists
and seedsmen, and one of Wisconsin's leading horti-
culturists, who died at his home, 2527 Grand ave.,
Milwaukee, on Sept. 26, aged 69.

James Currie was born in Fenwick, Ayrshire, Scot-
land, and came to America as a young man in 1872,
settling first in Illinois. He was later followed by his
two brothers, William and Edward, and together in
1X75 they formed the firm of which James Currie was
the head for many years. His father. James Currie,
Sr., was also a professional gardener, having been em-
ployed for many years by Mr. Coates. the famous
thread manufacturer, and that gentleman it was who
backed the brothers when they established themselves
in Milwaukee.

Mr. Currie was married in 1S7S. and is survived by
his wife, Jeannie, and four children, William B.,
Florence. Jean and Mrs. H. W. Brew.

Mr. Currie was a member and former president of
the city park board, a member of the county park
board, of the Old Settlers' Club, past master of Kil-
bourn Lodge, F. & A. M„ of St. Andrew's Society, and
a superintendent of Forest Hume Cemetery since 1SSO.

Funeral services were held at the Calvary Presby-
terian Church, Tenth St. and Grand ave.. on Sept. 29
at 2 p.m.; interment was at Forest Home Cemetery.

International Iris Conference

(Continued from page 921)
nearly 60ft. square, all the plants being grown in pots
and plunged in the ground. Owing to the extremely
late Spring, it was necessary to force these plants
under glass which is something that has never been
done by exhibitors in this country as far as I know.
A large number of bulbous Iris were also shown.
The English have the advantage of being able to im-
port these freely from Holland which we cannot do,
and the English climate is also more favorable to their
growth.

The English meetings brought out nearly all the
English Iris breeders and growers. Mr. Yeld was
present at the various Iris meetings as were all the
other English breeders, including Mr. Bliss, Mr. Perry.
Mr. Dykes and Sir Arthur Hort. Apparently it was
the first time that these men had ever gotten together
and they had an opportunity not only to discuss the
various problems connected with breeding, but to see
the work that had been done by other people. One of
the greatest criticisms against plant breeders has been
that they lead somewhat isolated lives and they do
not know what the other fellow is doing; the meet-
ings in London and Tunbridge Wells, doubtless,
proved a great education to all. Among nurserymen
were Mr. Barr, Mr. Bunyard, Mr. Beuthe, Mr. Mur-
rell, of the firm of Whitelegg & Co. Of course Mr.
Wallace, who was one of the chief exhibitors at both
shows as well as our host at Tunbridge Wells, was
everywhere.

The American visitors were treated with the utmost
kindness and entertained everywhere most hospitably.
We hope that our European friends will pay us a re-
turn visit, so that we can show them that we in this
country, also know what true hospitality means.

admonition. The map must have been mislaid or tucked away
in some odd corner.

Varied colored cards for the different groups, amateurs — not
amatuers, please — private gardeners, open to all and special may
be ideal but sometimes two kinds of cards were to be seen
in one class. If anything, varied cards only add to confusion.

The information regarding judging doubtless edified many
innocent visitors. _ The expedition brought about by the ap-
pointment of special judges for the various sections was terrific.
As to the aisles being closed to everyone where the judges were
at work, it couldn't be done, sir. The judges surely had a
tough time.

"All exhibitors' cards are placed in closed envelopes before
judging," said the program, but it should have read, sometimes.
In the main, the cards had just a portion of envelope clipped
over the name of the exhibitor. What was the big idea?

The schedule, too, showed the ideal touch. Wonder if tie
committee on all varieties taking prizes, did any work. If it
did, it had a merry time chasing the names. The rules stipu-
late a legible label 3in.x%in. that can easily be seen, but, in
many cases, they were slips of paper, or in the case of long
stemmed flowers, hanging tags. It was fine sport seeking the
tags among the jammed up vase exhibits. Might add here that
the schedule declared that judging was to begin at 2 p.m. and
no one but officials would be allowed in the hall. As a matter
of fact, the public was coming in before the judges got started.

Is it likely that a prize winner would or could keep his
exhibit in good condition till the close of the show? That's
an ideal that can't be lived up to and to make such a rule is
waste of time.

Judging from results the staging committee figured out the
space needed for short stem blooms, but when it came to
vases of 12. long stemmed flowers what about it? The huge
mop like blooms that are now the vogue, want a square yard
for each vase. Incidentally, the staging for these should be
fairly low.

Are the largest bloom classes worth while? The real ideal
should be the best blooms, same to be selected from the short-
stemmed flowers in their respective sections. To aim at the
largest is just vulgarizing things.

J. A. Kemp was showing three good vases of Gladioli, namely
Pink \\ onder, White Wonder and Albania. He also showed a
number of the Waite seedling Dahlias, including Francis Lob-
dell, a real garden Cactus, and Scarlet Bedder. This latter
was shown in 4in. pots, 1ft. tall, each carrying two or three
flowers four or more inches across. Scarlet Bedder is the
variety which beat Mandaiana last year in the challenge class.
It ought to be really popular and it offers the florist a new
pot subject.

Michel.l's Seed Store featured several big vases of bloom as
well as short stemmed samples. Mrs. G. W. Elkins, a deep
butt Decorative, is a good laster.

The Eddy Garden Service has a new idea in lawn slippers.
It is meant for cutting down the wiry grass stems and weed
leaves which a mower will not touch, especially in the late Sum-
"V ;"- ."1"-' ■'-'■ as gardeners call them, are a bugbear, but this
idea of utilizing the same sliding blades as is used for the Little
Wonder Hedge Trimmer looks quite workable. The Multitool
and the lawn sweeper are both good assets for the gardener
also.

W. A. Manda was showing some of the mop headed Celosias.
the colors need brightening up somewhat, especially the yel-

Charles A Searle of Westfield, N. J., was showing some good
flowers mostly home raised. Eleanor Augusta is a promising
scarlet and, Alice Marj one a pink. Francis Gilbert, too, is a
striking red. This grower desires it to be known that he is
now a bona hde •■pro;" his catalog proves it to those who
thought otherwise. Incidentally, Secretary Rathgeber has lost
a number of amateur members in the last two or three years-
they have become commercial.

Finer bulbs of Lady Derby Hyacinth than those on
V aughan s stand we have never seen. Maybe they were some
of those big chaps that are said to develop out Bellingham

Julius Roehrs Co., Rutherford, N. J., had a really good ex-
hibit of orchids, including Cattleyas in several varieties,
after the Dahlias.

The green Dahlia viriflora was seen in one exhibit of Pompons.
An ugly thing; not nearly so pretty as a Brussels Sprout. Its
usefulness cannot compare with the green Rose; this latter has
beautiful buds and exquisite foliage. A fine thing for mixing
in designs, but who grows it?

Chas. Totty Co. had No. 1 position, right where everyone
had to pass. Etendard, the white Peony, wants some beating
as a garden flower. America Rose was, of course, prominent.

The Hammond Tracy idea of sinking flowers in a glass bowl
of water is all right for Roses, but Dahlias don't like it. The
effect was fairly evident after the first day.

W. A. Burpee & Co.'s exhibit contained an interesting lot of
true Cactus varieties, set up in quantity, Mrs. W. E. Spencer,
pink; John Riding, crimson; George Schofield, orange
pink; Pierrot, bronze and white; the Quaker, pale pink, and
E. F. Hawes, deep pink, were all fine. Not big, just the right
size for decorative work. For such a purpose the florist does
not object to using wires; in fact, to get the effect he wants a
florist has to use wires with most flowers.

Southward Ho !

By G. THOMMEN

(.Continued from page 741)
But at last we had to tear ourselves away from
the glorious sights and in due time, in the cool of the
evening, we landed again in Jacksonville, just as the
white ways blazed up. They surely do the illuminat-
ing of their streets on a grand scale in all these
Florida cities. Talk about your "white ways" in
Boston and old New York. There is nothing, doing
compared with even some of the small towns down
here. Candelabra-like street lamps with at least five
big, powerful white globes are crowded near together
— and not only on a few of the main streets. There
is not much backwoodsness about this illumination.
A good dinner for 50c. and a few bottles put us in the
right humor to enjoy the movies where, as usual, the
hero got her in the end and was sorry for it ever
after. It had been a clay, not of rest, but of ever-
changing pleasure, and Florida looked good to us,
especially when we woke up after a refreshing sleep
in a splendid, large, cool room.

A Jaunt Among the 'Gators

Getting up in the morning and looking down upon
the palms in the City Courthouse garden put us in
the right frame of mind to tackle the job of seeing
Florida some more. First breakfast, with some of the
new Mangos as a starter ; then a stroll along the
main streets and a short walk down to the ferry
which took us over to the alligator and ostrich farms.
Well, it's a good thing that our glorious prohibition
scheme is in force, for the Lord knows what would
a man imagine had happened to him if after having
downed three or four good hookers he should stray
into the midst of a million or so of crocodiles, many
colored rattlers, moss-grown turtles and long-legged,
long-necked, fuzzy-wuzzy looking birds that are ever-
lastingly trying to rip the buttons off your coat.

The two farms are only a few steps from the ferry
and one can hardly miss them for the not very good,
but very pungent reason that an odor which is, to say
the least, not too aromatic, makes a perfect guide.
First we paid 30e. admission fee; then after a few
steps, we were in front of some hundreds of funny
looking logs, each having at one end two glassy
looking knobs that shone with a devilish cold stare.
Not a move anywhere until the attendant poked the
logs with a stick. Then wow. what a change! The
logs became alligators and crocodiles in a heap big
hurry.

Some Intimate Details at First Hand

Great big jaws opened and snapped shut with light-
ning speed and the huge tails slammed in all direc-
tions. By the way, the inside of those jaws is not a
fiery red as usually pictured on the postal cards. It
is a dirty, dull looking expanse of flesh, the color of,
well, a dead man. Yellowish, deadish, repulsive to a
degree and the great fangs look worse yet, if such a
thing were possible. Try to tell me an alligator is
slow? Oh yes; about as slow as a stroke of lightning.
Just poke him in the nose and watch. Bang! Tha
thing has opened and shut before you can wink an
eye with a sound as if two wet boards had been
knocked together. Tickle him under the tail and see
what happens. Swish, and around come some hun-
dreds of pounds of alligator and something roars like
a bull. But by that time you are looking for a tree.
They call them trained alligators on that farm, but
they surely aren't trained to keep one company in the
front parlor. And then there is always that alliga-
torish perfume, something like musk that has been
spoiled in the making, or has stood in the sun too
long.

There are thousands of the ungodly beasts all
around everywhere. Some have parlors to themselves,
with bath, too. They are the granddaddies, old he-
devils of bull alligators weighing anything up to half

a ton. Others are living peacefully together in colo-
nies of a hundred or two, sometimes having lots of
fun biting off each other's legs or taking chunks out
of each other's jaws. Many have been captured only
a day or two before and these do regular acrobatic
stunts when you poke them the right way. There are
alligators of all sizes, from 18ft. down to 2in. They
are bred on this farm and the eggs are hatched in
incubators like hen's eggs, the baby alligators being
sent all over this country and to other countries by
the thousands every week. They are shipped in little
baskets, like baby chicks, by parcel post and travel
without any trouble. Florists are good buyers of
these little beasts, then amusement places, institu-
tions and museums take a great many. The alligator
business is booming at all times. The creatures are a
real, native, Florida product, and are still plentiful
in certain backwoods sections of the State, even very
near to Jacksonville, as for instance in the Ocklawaha
River, a tributary of the St. John's. The crocodiles,
of which the farm has many, are, if such a thing
were possible, still uglier than the 'gators. They
come from Asia and Africa, have a broader snout and
are certainly ugly critters.

"Some" Snakes !

On this farm are also snakes. There was one clump
of diamond-backs about 4ft. high and that much or
more through. There they lay in the sun, saying not
a word until the man whacked them with a pole.
Then, such a crawling, hissing and rattling, enough
to make one sick and foreswear hootch forever. Some
of these, squirmers were 10ft. long and as thick as an
arm. In other pens there were our own rattlesnakes,
and the slim, greenish, poisonous looking moccasin
snakes. Taken altogether it was a hellish collection.
These snakes are for sale and also from them is ex-
tracted their poison used in making certain serums
which are in great demand. I should not fancy the
job of milking these beauties.

Then there are all sorts of turtles, gila monsters
and a number of other animals. My friends and I
could not resist the temptation to wander in among
about 200 of the bigger alligators and have our pic-
ture taken in their genial company. If the editor
prints the picture I sent him the reader may notice
that those uncivil devils all turned their heads away.
I should like to know why they did it. Maybe they
do not relish Massachusetts meat. I took off my coat
before I made my bow to my audience, so that, in
case they should become inquisitive or rambunctious,
there would be no loose ends around when I made
my getaway. All the samee, I put on my cheeriest
grin to charm the crowd, and maybe that helped.

Fine Feathers and Some Florists

At the ostrich farm nearby we saw all sorts and
ages of ostriches and other birds, very interesting in-
deed. Young ostriches are hatched in incubators right
along and those of all ages are present. There are
some old stagers that tower in the air 10ft. or more
and weigh 600 pounds. These fellows do some racing
for show and go at the rate of 60 miles an hour, mak-
ing 15 ft. at each step. They are very fond of visi-
tors' buttons, finger rings, watch chains or anything
that glitters. One laid an egg while we were there.
I saw the bird do it, then the attendant went to get
it, let me heft it and then weighed it. It tipped the
scales at four pounds and a half. A couple of these,
sunny side up, would make quite a breakfast. The
big birds are plucked two or three times a year and
yield two or three dozen plumes at a picking.

From here we went back to the city and I visited
the florist stores of the Tomlinson Key Floral Co.,
and Mills, the Florist. Unfortunately neither of the
proprietors was on the place and all I could do was
to take a look around. They are both fine, uptodate
stores, located on main streets of the city. Business,
at the time, was not rushing, just as it is not rushing
anywhere in the Summer ; but I was told that a splen-
did trade goes on in the tourist season, especially,
and that the firms are well pleased with the workings
of the F. T. D. part of the business, which amounts
to large sums. The flowers in sight, at the time of
my visit, were some Boses, mostly Radiance, Colum-
bia. Premier and Mock ; then Zinnias, which down
there take the place of Asters, although Asters were
present too. Gladioli, Cosmos and Dahlias about filled
the list.

By this time we were hungry again, so we had a
fine 50c. lunch, with all the trimmings, you know.
Eating in Florida, in the Summer, is some pleasure
and costs almost nothing. A lunch like the one we
had would cost in Boston at least $1.25. After an-
other Budweiser (to keep us cool) we wended our
way to the Clyde dock and boarded the steamer
"Mohawk," a neat little craft, which was to take
us 200 miles up the iSt. John's River to Sanford on
Lake Monroe.

construct what will be the largest green-
house between Missouri and Texas.

The Handley Greenhouses, Oswego,
Kans , suffered slight loss from fire on
Sept. 9. The damage was entirely to the

mermann, E. L. Zimmermann.

Growers report that sales of flowers
are improving somewhat, although the
market is not what they would like it,
as a result of too much competition from
independent growers. This has resulted
in thousands of flowers being offered di-
rect to the home consumed by farmers,
their wives and children, and housewives
in nearby small towns who have taken
up flower growing as a pastime. Large
bunches of handsome flowers have been
offered for as low as 25c. to 50c. a bunch
and one dealer said that Gladioli, Asters
and certain of the commoner varieties of
Dahlias were too cheap to be handled by
retailers at any price.

Dealers here are talking of a "buy at
home" campaign for wholesalers. It is
said that thousands of dollars' worth of
flowers which could be grown around in
Cincinnati are purchased in New York,
Chicago and other points. This year the
wholesalers are trying an experiment by
purchasing all their Chrysanthemums of
Ohio valley growers who want to make
this so successful that gradually the
local growers can supply all the flowers
for the local market.

Edmund L. Hawes.

Cincinnati, 0.

A decision to appropriate one-half of
one per cent of the growers' gross sales
as a trial basis for a local newspaper ad-
vertising campaign will be reached
Wednesday at the fortnightly meeting of
the .Cincinnati District of the National
Flower Growers Association to be held
at the greenhouses of Edward H. Schwarz
in Norwood, a suburb of this city. The
original proposition was to appropriate
one per cent of the growers' gross sales,
but it is said they balked at this until
an experiment of the half of one per
cent basis had been tried for a year.
Last season the growers association
made up a subscription amounting to
$1400 as their advertising fund and used
but one paper. The assessment plan this
year will raise almost $3000, and it is
proposed to spend it through all the Cin-
cinnati dailies.

Dayton, 0.

Harry A. Bunyard is now located in
this city and doing a general landscape
business; through his good work he has
secured some worth while contracts. He
is broadcasting by radio W. F. O. in the
evenings a series of lectures on Fall plant-
ing of trees, shrubs, plants, bulbs, etc.,
and has an audience of over 100,000,
reaching nearly every State in the Union.
This should help the trade largely, in-
crease business and, in an educational
way, do a vast amount of good. Harry is
still an optimist as of old, and we are
pleased to have him with us.

Fort Wayne, Ind.

Despite the closing of September the
warm weather is still with us, making busi-
ness conditions a little weak. There is
no sign of frost yet, and there are still
many outside flowers to be had, such as
late Asters, Zinnias, Cosmos, Dahlias, etc.
There has been an increased demand for
Carnations and the better grades ot
Roses. Orchids have been in good demand
this past week, there having been several
small weddings. Generally speaking, the
florists have been kept fairly busy.

Lanterniers, Florist, have completed
their two new Carnation houses.

Doswell, Florists, reports business as
very good for the time of year, handling
several large weddings this last week.
Their new Rose house is almost completed.
Some fine early Chryanthemums are being
cut by this firm.

Ralph Tinkham reports trade as active.
Several large weddings have been booked.
Some nice ferns are seen in this store.

W. J. & M. S. Vesey have been cutting
large quantities of fine Roses; also some
exceptionally fine Cattleya labiata.

Kneeht & Freese have just finished
their new boiler house and smokestack.
Business is very satisfactory with them.

The Market

There has been a decided spurt in
business and the week-end brought many
buyers out who have been depending on
home grown outdoor stock.

Roses were in heavy demand with not
enough to go around.' The quality has. im-
proved a great deal; in fact, all indoor
stock is better. Carnations are coming
in better and in heavier shipments. Val-
ley continues scarce in this market and
orchids are at a premium.

Asters hang on. Gladioli is passing
rapidly and both are bringing better
prices, notwithstanding the poor quality.

Dahlias lead, but greater care should
be exercised in their packing. Many
beautiful blooms are ruined by over-
crowding and careless packing. The
Dahlias like the Glads and Asters are be-
ing sold by the amateur grower and the
price has been kept low on this account,
the itinerant vender selling blooms for
one and two cents where the same stock
should bring double that amount.

Garden flowers get poorer each day and
more of this class of stock goes into the
barrel than to the retailers.

Greens are excellent and plentiful, es-
pecially Adiantum. The price has broken
under the pressure.

The plant situation has improved con-
siderably. There are some good Prim-
roses in 4in., 5in. and 6in. pots and some
very fine Cyclamen and Solanums, Cro-
tons and Dracaenas and good ferns make
up a list that pleases the most discrimi-
nating buyer.

The Euclid ave. store windows present
a beautiful sight these days, dressed in
their Fall colorings, aglow with Autumn
tints. Many of the stores are featuring •
Chrysanthemums (mostly California
stock), Tritomas and Dahlias Celosias
and Glads hold sway in some of the oth-
ers The sale of bulbs for outdoor cul-
ture is growing in favor with some of the
stores and Temblett and the Park Floral
Co. are featuring them. The question ot
Paperwhites is a vital one and with anal
bulbs of inferior quality selling at a dol-
lar a dozen, it seems that the French
are trying to kill the goose that laid the
golden egg. Charles Imbrie Kent.

St. Louis, Mo.

The market remains steady, although
it cannot be written that business is rush-
ing Chrysanthemums have arrived from
the Coast and it is to be regretted that
at least 40 per cent of the blooms are
delivered bruised. This, with the heavy
express charges, causes a serious loss to
the buyer. Under these conditions it is
feared that St. Louis has seen the last
of these shipments. Anyway, there does
not seem any extraordinary demand tor
these early 'Mums. The public, more or
less, look for the Chrysanthemum season
when the first frost has appeared The
middle of October and November is the
season for 'Mums. Roses are improving
steadily in color and Carnations are get-
ting longer stems although they are not
selling very fast. Lilies are quoted at
18c. Some fine orchids are seen.

Notes

The Young's, Incorporated, stores
are nearly completed. The old store on
14th and Olive sts. has been entirely re-
modeled and new, bright fixtures give the

very choice clean stock from local grow-
ers is now on the counters^

We find the new firm of Geo H. Pieser
busy with a select stock of 'Mums, Roses
and other fancy stock.

George H. Angermueller has a fine stock
of choice Roses these days. His good
stock of 'Mums also sells with ease at

good prices. „ ,

The Windier Wholesale Floral Co. has
a splendid stock of miscellaneous flowers.
Some extra good Roses and Carnations
are included. _.

The St Louis Wholesale Cut Flower

The Florists Exchange

Spokane, Wash.

The Market

Outdoor stock is still coming in
plentifully so greenhouse stock is not
much in evidence. Carnations have very
short stems, this being the first crop.
Roses are plentiful and the stock is of
fine quality. Early 'Mums are coming
in. but only in small quantities. Growers
of outside stock have had fine Asters this
year, the best we have seen in a good
many years, but retail prices were lower.
Funeral work has taken cai*e of great
quantities of them as in a great many
shops they seem to be one of the prin-
cipal flowers. Some fine stock of the later
varieties of Gladioli that are now coming
remain still one of the principal offer-
ings.

News Notes

The Crescent Flower Shop is us-
ing Dahlias as a cut flower with a great
deal of success. Golden West and King
of the Autumn are two of the most use-
ful and popular varieties. Mr. Eugene
grows these at his own place and he gets
flowers of good size and substance with
stems long enough to be useful. The
Autumn shades in these flowers are popu-
lar as table decorations at this season.

Dahlias at Manitou Park are at their
best now and some beautiful varieties are
grown there. Many hundreds of people
visit the park on Sundays on purpose to
view this display. The Park Commis-
sioners have placed a fine picture of the
sunken gardens at Manitou Park in the
lobby of the Davenport Hotel with a
special invitation to the public to visit
it. Needless to say visitors and tourists
take advantage of it.

Messrs. Fink and Rahn of the Spokane
Greenhouses are spending a few days
this week visiting the trade in Coast
cities. This firm is supplying the trade
with the first yellow 'Mums of the sea-
son, for which there is a good demand.

Bernsen & Halle are supplying the
trade with Carnations. This is their
first crop; it is increasing daily and is
of fair quality.

Holland bulbs have arrived and will
soon be on display. This is the earliest
we have received them in years. With
such a long selling season the prospects
seem bright for a fine Fall bulb trade.

Culbertson's Flower Shop reports brisk
sales of Paperwhites and Chinese Lily
bulbs for bulb bowls. Its stock is ex-
ceptionally fine. At the regular meeting
of the Spokane Florist Club held Sept. 5
the matter of discontinuing the coopera-
tive advertising was brought up and it
was found that several of the stores are
not contributing. A few present seemed
to be in favor of dropping it and it is
expected the question will be definitely
settled at the next i-egular meeting in
October.

H. L. Ollson & Co. are sending in first
class stock of Primroses which are quick-
ly picked up. They are also cutting heav-
i.y of Roses.

Harry Hill, of the City Floral Co.,
was quietly married to Miss Ann Newell,
a member of the staff of the Social Serv-
ice Bureau, this week. After a short
honeymoon they will reside in the Tokyo
Apartments. Congratulations, Harry.

The Kansas Nursery reports a busy
season with good prospects for Fall. They
have the contract for furnishing speci-
men conifers and other trees for the
grounds of the new Hotel Lewis & Clark
which was formally opened this week at
Lewiston, Idaho. G. F. Skinnek.

Portland, Ore.

Trade Notes

Sept. 28. — Business for the week
has been well distributed and from every
.^hop comes a satisfied report. Flowers
have shortened up considerably since the
rain and there is a real need for indoor
stock. The Gladiolus,, with few excep-
tions., has lost much of its glory and only
second quality is available. Zinnias are
still coming strong and the demand for
this flower is very active. Asters, local,
are finished, but there are still fancy ar-
rivals from out of town. The Carnation
is improving, but shows the effect of
thrip, especially in the reds. Orchids,
Valley and Bouvardia are now equal to
the demand and the supply will be regu-
frora now on. Roses are improving
■p the advent of cooler weather.

Local 'Mums in earnest are now as-
sured in two weeks' time; Chrysolora
promises to be the first of the yellows and
Early Rose the first pink. Early Frost,
what little was grown, is about here fin-
ished. Pompons are promised for that
date also. Should this weather keep up
we certainly will need the 'Mum. The
California 'Mum is costing a neat and
tidy sum per dozen and, adding thereto,
the cost of shrinkage and bruised flowers,
it takes a good stiff retail price to leave
much over. Let's hope when local 'Mums
arrive the retailers will not expect to
buy for less a better quality of 'Mum.

Pot plants are again on the regular list
of offerings and the Cyclamen, which has
come early this year, is the most popular.
The plants offered are in excellent colors,
are hard grown and bound to give satis-
faction. Primula obconica is at hand when
something cheaper is wanted. Ferns are
cleaning up rapidly and it looks like there
would be a Fall shortage. This has not
existed in years. Fern dish offerings are
off quality as they are still too small to
really call finished, but the call must be
satisfied.

News Notes

What was expected to be a very
slim exhibit at the State Fair at Salem,
turned out to be the crowning feat of the
Oregon Florists Club, in whose charge the
floral exhibit was placed. Never before
were there such elaborate floral displays
made by Portland florists; the spirit of
competition was keen. Two of Portland's
retailers were eleventh hour entries and
both put up very artistic and elaborate
displays. The arrangements, aside from
being artistic, were also of quality flow-
ers. The Rose display was especially fine.
In fact, better Roses were shown than
are generally offered in Portland. Won-
derful Zinnias in every imaginable color
were shown in various basket arrange-
ments. Some imported 'Mums were also
used for display centerpieces. All in all,
there was class in every exhibit and it
had the" real professional touch.

For general floral display, Smith's
Flower Shop took 1st, Clarke Bros 2d, and
Holden's 3d. On general display of green-
house plants, Clarke Bros, took 1st, Rahn
& Herbert Co. 2d., and Wilson Craut Gehr
Co., 3d. On ferns Wilson Craut Gehr
took 1st, Clark 2d, and Rahn & Herbert
Co. 3d.

About 50 of local and valley florists
visited the show on Florists Day in spite
of the rain and as the exhibits of farm
products and cattle and other exhibits
too numerous to mention were of excep-
tional quality, there was much to see and
everyone had a very enjoyable time. Jesse
A. Curry, under the title of "A Garden
Grower," gave a talk under difficulties,
but he said something about "Turkish Ul-
rich Brunner wine," which no doubt is
fine, but Mr. Curry's isn't ready, so we
will have to wait until another time.

A. Rahn and his partner, Mr. Fink,
were visitors of a few days in quest of
stock to complete their lines. Mr. Rahn
says they are trying to get the Spokane
County Fair to make provisions for a
flower show something on the order of our
State Fair show.

E. R. Chappell and wife have returned
from a three weeks' sojourn in southern
climes. They visited San Francisco, Los
Angeles and all points of interest along
the line. They say that so far as prices
are concerned, they are about equal to
ours and in some instances even higher.
Mr. Chappell says that the Armacost
place was one of the most interesting
places visited.

Wm. Martin and wife have returned
from' their motor tour to California. They
say that in another year there will be
pavement nearly the whole way from
Portland .to Los Angeles.

It's cruelty to animals, but Julius Doss-
che has acquired a new Ford with all
the new fixings. He is almost too large
an individual to ride so small a beast of
burden, out the Henry seems to get him
there even if he piles in half a dozen ex-
tra florists. Julius Dossche reports busi-
ness for the Pacific Produce Co. as ex-
cellent. From the name, you could hardly
tell that he both pedals and handles the
bull, hone-meal and all kinds of ferti-
lizers.

Gus Bjorkman of the Hollywood Gar-
den Greenhouses, was a visitor and took
in the fair. He says all the stock at Holly-
wood looks promising and business in
Seattle is good. He made the rounds of
the lc*eal ■establishments with Wm. Hen-
nings. H. N.

Salt Lake City, Utah

The Market

During the past month business has
been somewhat slow, funeral work being
about the only item of any note, but as
schools have now started and people are
returning to the city from their Slimmer
homes and the Canyons, an improvement
in the cut flower sales is looked for.

Indoor stock is now of fair quality, and
Aster, Gladiolus, Sweet Peas, Marigolds
and other outside flowers, which have
been used extensively for the past two
months, are about gone, and the demand
for greenhouse stock .is getting stronger
every day.

The days are still quite warm, but cool
nights have helped to harden inside stock,
especially Roses. Of the offerings, Butter-
fly, Columbia, Dunlop and Pilgrim are in
most demand. Rose prices are low; in
tact, lower than at any time for several
years, ranging from $4 to $10 per 100.

'Mums have made their, appearance in
small quantities, but large shipments will
not be in order until a killing frost
comes. Carnations are offered in small
quantities at $3 per 100. The stems,
however, are short as yet, but the stock
finds ready sale for funeral work. Out-
door Cecil Brunners are now of excellent
quality, and a ready market is found for
all offered.

Pot plant sales are beginning to pick
up. Boston and Whitmanii ferns are
especially in demand, with Sprengeri, Plu-
mosus and foliage Begonias selling1 in
small quantities. Blooming plants are
scarce at present, a few Primula Obconica
and Chatelaine Begonias being about the
only ones available.

Various Notes

Arthur Granshaw, one of the best
retail florists in this part of the country,
who has been with E. A. Lambourne of this
city for the past ten years, has resigned
his position and accepted the manager-
ship of the retail store of the Butte Flo-
ral Co., at Butte, Montana. Art. will be
missed in Salt Lake and he leaves a host
of friends who wish him success in his
new undertaking.

H. G. Frey, manager of the greenhouse
department of the McCallum Co., together
with Mrs. Frey, are spending a few days
in Salt Lake.

Al. Alt of the Huddart Floral Co. has
gone to Montana to visit B. B. Gray, who
is now in the ranching game. Mr. Gray
was Mr. Alt's former partner. After
spending a week or two on the ranch,
Albert will visit principal points of in-
terest on the Pacific Coast.

Raymond B. Kesler of the H. Bayers-
dorfer & Co. visited the trade this week.
He brought with him an excellent line of
florist supplies.

Robert Miller, who is State vice-presi-
dent of the S. A. F. and O. H. is out
after new members. He reports the cam-
paign as highly successful. C. J. B.

The Passing of James Currie

A ■ good man and a good florist
passed on last week when James Currie,
known throughout the United States as
an artistic landscape gardener, entered
into his final rest at the age of 69.

Through his vision and patient labors,
Milwaukee's system of public parks was
widely extended throughout the city and
county. He was a member of both the
city and county park boards. For many
years he was superintendent of that beau-
tiful God's acre, Forest Home Cemetery.

C. B. Whitnall, a life-long associate,
paid him this fine tribute: The public
probably does not appreciate what Mr.
Currie has done for Milwaukee. While
he was a good seedsman and florist, his
desires led him into landscape work, par-
ticularly as it affects community life. The
excellence and beauty of Milwaukee's
parks are due to Mr. Currie's thought and
efforts more than to any other one person.
Careful, conscientious, sincerely desiring
to serve the community, his services in
the developing of Milwaukee's park sys-
tem were great. In later years he did
similar work for the county park system.
His death is a real loss to the city and
county."

W. H. Schuchardt, president of the
Public Land Commission, said: "Mr. Cur-
rie was one of the big men of Milwaukee,
and his death will be felt by the com-
munity. His vision and public spirit made
him invaluable." [See also obituary no-
tice.]

Two Asters, each of a different color,,
can be grown from the same stem. This
has been demonstrated by J. K. Rugowski
of the Kugowski Seed Co., of Manitowoc,.
Wis. Mr. Kugowski made experiment
after experiment, putting in two years of
hard work,, before he could announce to
the floral world that he had given to it
something absolutely new — a novelty that
is bound to attract widespread attention
throughout the globe. Lovers of flowers
have been flocking to Mr. Rugowski's
seed store to see the wonder he has placed
on exhibition, and of which he feels very
proud as congratulations are showered
upon him. Growing from one stem is a
dark red blossom while the other blossom
is :of light pink. In shape both are per-
fect, and they are in excellent condition.

Tlie Wisconsin Highway Commission is
receiving complaints from various sec-
tions of the Commonwealth that shade
trees situated along the roads have been
cut down in direct violation of the State
law. The commission announces that the
vandals guilty of this outrage will be
prosecuted to the fullest extent, and it
asks citizens to promptly notify the board
of any outrages of this character. In
some instances beautiful trees have been
hacked down simply so that an ugly bill-
board might be brought clearer before the
eyes of motorists; in others they have
been destroyed to be replaced by wire-
laden telephone and telegraph poles.

New York City

The Market

Oct. 3. — As far as demand and
prices are concerned the wholesale cut
flower market of this city seems to have
taken a backward step on Saturday of
last week, and today, Tuesday, it ap-
pears more likely to retrogress still far-
ther rather than to advance again in
the next few days.

American Beauty Roses are in more
than sulheient supply. Special grade
blooms are selling in general for from
20c. to 50c. each, and other grades are
bringing proportionate prices. In other
Roses also there is more than sufficient
supply to meet the present demand, and
the tact that many of these, as well as
the American Beauty arrive in too
open condition to make them attractive,
helps to further slow up the sales. Top
grade blooms are selling in general at
from 10c. to 12c. each, but choice selec-
tions of Hadley, Premier and Crusader,
are realizing 15c. each, and Key of the
same quality 30c. to 40c. Prices for No.
2 grade stock show a marked decline, the
general range being from $1 to $2 per
100. White Roses are moving especially
slowly at this time, and the ice=boxes
show large accumulations.

The arrivals of Carnations are larger,
but the warm weather is not favorable
to their coming into the market in good
keeping condition. They are meeting
with a moderate demand at prices rang-
ing from $1 to $3, and in occasional sales
of extra choice stock, $4 to $5 per 100 ;
but the last figure is exceptional.

Cattleyas are in much larger supply,
but there is no corresponding increase
in demand. Prices are down, the range
being from about 35c. to 00c. each, with
occasional sales of extra choice blooms
at 75c. Gardenias are in decidedly short
supply, and for this reason rather than
because of an extra demand, they are
selling for $3 to $0 per doz. Lilies, too,
are in short supply and because of this
scarcity are selling at $25 to $30 per
100. Lily of the Valley is meeting with
a much smaller demand and prices have
a decided downward tendency, the gen-
eral range being from $3 to $0 and oc-
casionally $S per 100.

The supply of Chrysanthemums is
steadily increasing, and the present ar-
rivals include a considerable number of
varieties, namely Golden Glow, Early
October Frost, Unaka and Chrysolora.
This seasonable flower is meeting with a
fairly good demand and prices are rang-
ing from $1 to $0 per doz., but there
are reports that some choice Chrysolora
are bringing as high as $8.

As regards outdoor grown flowers,
Asters have mostly pased off the stage,
the few arriving being mostly of poor
quality, and selling at about 50c. to $2
per 100. The leader now in flowers of
this class is the Dahlia. Many of the
Dahlia fields either escaped altogether or
were only slightly injured by the recent
frost, and there are abundant arrivals.

New York — (Continued from page 948)
They are moving fairly well at prices
ranging in general from $2 to $4 per
100. but some choice blooms of the newer
varieties are commanding, in small sales,
a considerably higher price.

The list of other miscellaneous out-
door grown flowers includes small arriv-
als of Snapdragon, Calendula, Delphin-
ium and Zinnias, medium large arrivals
for the season of Gladioli, Eupatorium
(the blue variety), Celosia and Mari-
golds.

Among the choicer flowers grown un-
der glass, we must not forget the white
Bouvardia which is meeting with only
a medium demand at 25c. to 35c. a
bunch ; nor the advance arrivals of Vio-
lets, the double selling at 50c. to 75c. and
the single at about 50c. per 100.

There is a moderate demand for all
kinds of indoor grown and hardy greens.
In the latter class boughs of Oak foliage
are the leader.
Florists Club Meeting

The regular October meeting of
the club will be held at the Engineering
Societies Building, 25-33 West 39th st.
at 7.30 o'clock on the evening of Mon-
day the 9th.
For the F. T. D. Annual Meeting

Special accommodations have been
reserved for members of the New York
Florists Olub and others of the local
trade who are planning to attend the an-
nual meeting of the P. T. D. A. in Balti-
more next week. The local delegation
will leave the Pennsylvania Station on
Monday on the 11.15 a.m. train, due in
Baltimore at 3.35 p.m.

Full particulars cau be had from, and
reservations placed with, Paul A. Rigo,
chairman of Transportation Committee,
35 West ISth st. 'Phone, Watkins 3310.
On Monday morning, Oct. 9, there will
be a conference at S. A. F. headquarters,
43 West ISth St., between the National
Publicity Committee and the officials rep-
resenting the Allied Advertising Associa-
tions. In the afternoon there will be
an executive committee meeting. It is
expected that those attending these meet-
ings will also attend the Florists Club
meeting in the evening. Among those
expected are S. S. Pennock. Philadelphia,
president of the S. A. F. ; Chairman
Henry Penn, of the Publicity Committee,
Boston ; George Asmus, Chicago ; C. C.
Pollworth, Milwaukee; Mark P. Mills,
Philadelphia; and Major P. F. O'Keefe,
Boston.
Carl Engelmann Arrives

Carl Engelmann of Saffron Walden,
England, arrived on the S. S. Majestic
Tuesday evening. His main object is to
attend the E. T. D. convention, but he
will visit many friends also.

A. Keve, formerly vice-president of the
Astor Hotel Flower Shop, before it was
acquired by Warendorf, has leased a
store at the corner of Broadway and
Wall st. for his son, who is opening there
a high-class, modern flower shop, of
which the elder Keve will be president.

Herman R. Scommodau, 54 West 28th
St., is receiving daily large arrivals of
seasonable flowers, and reports that the
demand for them is quite satisfactory ;
he also says that his announcement of
24 hours' service on his business cards,
which he has sent out to retail florists,
has already brought him much night busi-
ness from the retailers. Mr. Scommodau
is able to take care of this only because
he has a much interested, active, able
and courteous business partner in the
person of Mrs. Scommodau.

The S. Hanfling Co., 131-133 W. 2Sth
St., is congratulating himself because
more than 90 per cent of its importations
of florists' supplies arrived in this coun-
try before the new tariff law went into

effect. This company reports an increas-
ingly active demand for its full line.

We noted at William Kessler's, 113
W. 2Sth st, this week, quite- a represen-
tative line of Chrysanthemums for the
season. Among these were Unaka,
Golden Glow, Early White Frost, and
Mrs. William Kessler. The last three
were from the growing establishment of
Charles Huut's Sons, Port Richmond,
Staten Island. Of these, the Early
White Frost was particularly fine.

A. L. Young & Co. have re-entered the
wholesale florist business actively at 110
W. 28th st.

Among the new firms, which have dur-
ing the last few weeks entered into the
wholesale florist business is Peter Carvell
& Co., 112 West 28th st.

We noted very recently some of the
finest Unaka and Chrysolora 'Mums we
have ever seen so earlv in the season at
Doyle & Booth's, US W. 2Sth st. These
'Mums had the size, the length of stem,
and all the good qualities which usually
appear later in the season.

Tribute to Richard Vincent, Jr.

The New York Times of Sunday,
Oct. 1, devoted a full column to Richard
Vincent, Jr., under the heading, "Dahlia
Grower at SO. Began Trade at 6."
" 'Grand Old Man' of Horticulture De-
veloped 70-acre Garden from Old Farm."
The article speaks of Mr. Vincent's great
interest in the American Dahlia Society ;
of its recent eighth Annual Exhibition
at the Hotel Pennsylvania ; of his com-
ing to this country from England at the
age of 11 years, of his scanty schooling ;
of his early struggles for a livelihood,
and his start in business, in all of which
he was greatly assisted by his wife ; of
his visit abroad in later life, and his
splendid reception in England and other
European countries ; of his former presi-
dency of the S. A. F. ; of his intense in-
terest in Dahlias, and the fact that a
sugar of the best quality is made from
Dahlia tubers. The whole article was
marked by an appreciation of Mr. Vin-
cent and his contributions to American
floriculture, and his many trends will
agree that such a tribute was well de-
served.

Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Baker and son,
of Utica. N. Y., were guests of the B.
Jacobs Cut Flower Co., 43 W. ISth st.
on Friday, Sept. 29. Mr. Baker's estab-
lishment at Utica is one of the best in
New York State, it is said, and he and
Mrs. Baker are very popular with the
trade.

Max Schling and the Bankers' Conven-
tion

Calling on Max Schling, Inc., 785
Fifth ave., on Tuesday of this week, we
found him and his store force very busy.
Speaking of the Bankers' Convention,
held here Oct. 2 to 6, Mr. Schling said
that it presented a notable innovation
to the retail florists of this city and this
country, in the way of an opportunity to
increase their local and F. T. D. busi-
ness. Grasping this opportunity Mr.
Schling had sent out about 3500 letters
to the F. T. D. florists of the United
States, and a letter to each of the bank-
ers in this city. A copy of each follows :

New York, Sept. 22, 1922.

Dear Partner:

Call up your bank and get its order
for flowers to be delivered to the room
in the hotel of its representing officer
at the Bankers' Convention, Oct. 2 to
6 in New York City.

About 50,000 bankers and their fami-
lies have made reservations in New
York hotels up to date.

Nothing better to make their stay in
v New York pleasant than flowers.

Sept. 22, 1922.
Dear Sir:

Among those attending- the Bankers'
Convention will be some of your old
friends.

No greeting could be more personal
and show them a heartier welcome than
flowers in their rooms at their hotels.

For $5 and up we can send something
for you very pretty and representative.
Respectfully,

MAX SCHLING.

Mr. Schling says that in sending out
these letters to increase his own business,
he is well aware that he will help in-
crease that business of all his fellow flo-
rists. On the day we called, one banker
not previously a patron had already writ-

ten thanking him for his reminder to
send flowers to visiting banker friends
and commending his enterprise. Speak-
ing along other lines, Mr. Schling said
that during the World War people got
into the habit of buying artificial plants
for decorative purposes because of the
scarcity and higher prices of natural
plants; that they were now coming back
to the purchasing of natural stock and
that he was doing all he could to en-
courage this reintroduction of natural
plants by offering a larger variety than
have ever been available in the past. As
an illustration he showed us some splen-
did large specimens of a green-leaved
Aucuba. These were imported as small
plants several years ago; they have been
grown on for Mr. Schling who is now
offering them for the first time.

The Market

Oct.' 3. — Improvement in the gen-
eral trend of market business continues
to be the order for the time being.

There is a good supply of Roses and the
quality is splendid for this early in the
season. The preponderence of the supply
is running to the finer grades. Premier
and Columbia are most plentiful; the
growers seem to have pinned their faith
to these varieties to such an extent they
have gone in heavily on their cultivation.
In fact, there are one or more establish-
ments growing for the market who grow
Premier exclusively. There is, of course,
a wide range of other varieties such as
Milady, Crusader, Butterfly and Sun-
burst, but not in any quantity to com-
pare with Premier. Prices have not ad-
vanced with the improvement in stock;
it is simply a ease where the buyer gets
better stock for the same money than he
was getting some time ago.

There is a general improvement in the
supply of Carnations and the quality is
also showing much improvement. The
price is, however, not what it should be,
but the Carnation has so many competi-
tors that practically answer the same pur-
pose and at a lesser price that it suffers
at times. The first of the Carnation
crops come in contact with the Asters
that are always cheaper and for work
and other purposes will answer the retail-
er as well. Then a little later they have
a still stronger adversary in the Pom-
pon Chrysanthemums. It is not u-nt.il the
season of all these is past that the Car-
nation growers come into their own.

There are plenty of Gladioli to be had
since late planted bulbs are flowering
now. It has been a long season for the
growers who planted at intervals. While
some of the large growers may not have
made as much from their Gladioli this
year as they expected, they have never-
theless learned some points that will serve
them well another season. It is a well
known fact that the Gladioli are so eas-
ily grown that vegetable growers, truck

gardeners and even some farmers have
been growing them on a large scale for
the wholesale market. This class of
growers does not want the better or more
expensive varieties and will not purchase
those that have found favor on the mar-
ket, simply confining themselves to the
old standard' varieties that can be bought
cheaply. Commercial growers, or rather
those who specialize in the Gladioli as a
cut flower crop will go more extensively
into the better varieties another season.
There are a large number of varieties of
such special merit that they seldom be-
come a glut even when the market is top
heavy with the others.

The supply of Chrysanthemums is in-
creasing daily, but so far there is no
great amount of locally grown stock. The
California growers are having things their
own way for the time being. Just as soon
as the local growers come in with their
first heavy cut the California shipments
will cease for the season. They cannot
compete with the locally grown blooms,
owing to the heavy express charges from
the Coast. Local blooms are selling at
from $2 to $4 per doz., while the large
California stock is bringing from $4 to $6
per doz. The first of the Pompons have
begun to arrive.

There is a moderate supply of Valley
and orchids are slightly more plentiful.
Sweet Peas so far are limited in supply.
Cosmos is seen at many of the stores.
Celosias are still a feature.

Henry Wittbold & Son had the decora-
tions for the Fall opening of Marshall
Field & Co. It was an elaborate job, in-
cluding as it did, five large floors. Several
thousands pounds of prepared Oak foli-
age and 250 large baskets of Chrysan-
themums were only a part of the stock
used.

J. P. McCarty of Shearer & McCarty,
Camden, N. J., is at the Palmer House
showing a general line of florists' supplies.
He is making his headquarters at the
Flower Growers, where he has a portion
of his goods on display.

There will be quite a delegation from
here to the F. T. D. convention at Balti-
more. Homer Lange will make an ex-
tended trip through all the larger cities of
the East, while in that section of the
country.

Julius Dildoff, representing Wertheim-
er Bros. Co., has been in the city for the
past few days.
News Notes

Arthur T. Eichel, who does busi-
ness at 4226 N. Crawford ave., as the
Irving Park Florist, has just completed
a thorough overhauling of his greenhouses
and putting in new benches. He finds an
ordinary sewer pipe placed on the end
and filled with cement makes both cheap
and durable bench support. Each pipe is
set socket end down, on a small founda-
tion. Two spike nails are placed in the
upper end while the cement ist soft at
sufficient distance apart to permit a two
by six runner to fit between. This pre-
vents any possible chance of the_ runners
slipping from the posts; a few inches of

the spikes is left for this purpose protrud-

Marks Brothers on Waveland ave., near
Cicero, have a large range of green-
houses devoted exclusively to pot plants.
Boston ferns is one of their specialties.
These are grown for the wholesale trade
as well as disposed of from the wagons
of the company which are daily making
the rounds of the residential districts.

Carl W. Beu of the C. W. Beu Floral
Co., 4445 N. Crawford ave., has re-
ceived 25,000 bulbs of Lilium formosum
bulbs that were potted the past week.
The bulbs were imported direct and came
through in fine condition. He is plac-
ing them outdoors under a covering of
six inches or more soil and will take
them into the greenhouses as soon as the
Chrysanthemum season is over. They
will fill seven large greenhouses. Frank
Beu, his father, who spent the Summer in
the East, returned home the past week
feeling much improved from the rest
from business affairs.

Henry Younquist, Kedzie and Foster
ave., has been using crude oil as a fuel
for the past three years and would not
go back to coal again even though it
might be obtained at the same cost as
oil. He is using the Beu burner which
gives excellent satisfaction. He has 45,-
000 sq. ft. of glass and grows mainly
Pompon Chrysanthemums and ferns. He
is a large grower of bulbous plants
which are grown in pots and other recep-
tacles and sold to the trade at wholesale
wrhen in bud and bloom. He grows 25,-
000 Hyacinths, 40,000 Tulips and 25,000
Narcissi. He is fortunate to be in the
neighborhood of a pottery where his large
supply can be delivered by wagon with-
out the cost of packing or shipping. He
is installing a 19,000 gal. tank for oil
storage for which the excavation is being
made. A cement tank has been in use
up to the present time. When the tanks
are buried below the surface, it gives
them great protection from frost. The
oil is always warmer and flows more free-
ly than when exposed to freezing weath-
er. Even if the city fire ordinance did
not require this, he would do it as a
matter of economy in keeping the oil
supply in good condition.

Express Speed Bulb Potting

It is said there is nothing new un-
der the sun, but the writer came across an
incident the past week in bulb planting
that he never saw before in many long
years of experience. The potting of Tu-
lips, Narcissus, etc., especially where
thousands of them are grown, is quite a
job. The handling of the soil, shoveling
it on to a bench, the carrying of the
pots to the potters and the taking of
them away to a place where they are
to remain until ready to be taken
into the greenhouses is no small
job. It requires considerable labor and-
consumes much time. Henry Younquist, at
Kedzie and Howard ave., Chicago, has a
better plan that he has followed with suc-
cess for years. There is no potting bench,
no wheelbarrows or moving of the pots
when filled; his plan is simple and labor
saving.

The pits or trenches into which the pots
are placed to root are, of course, first
excavated, making a nice smooth bot-
tom. On this bottom the empty pots are
placed, 6in. pots about four wide in the
rows, and as close as they will fit. On
to these the soil is shoveled, some get-
ting well filled, others not quite as full.
It then requires but little work to spread
the soil with the hands, filling all pots
equally, probably within an inch or so
of the top. On to this the bulbs are
dumped by the bag full and the work of
placing them in the pots immediately
follows. This is quickly done, pressing
the bulbs in as each one is placed in po-
sition. With the bulbs all in, the soil is
again shoveled on top without further
handling or pressing and when covered to
a depth of 6in. or more another batch of
empty pots is placed in position and the
operation followed as before. The pots
are never handled after the planting is
finished and remain where they are until
it is time to take them into the green-
house. Mr. Younquist has been planting
his bulbs in this way for many years and
always grows good stock. It struck the
writer as a labor saving system that might
be worthy of the consideration of others
who grow bulbs on a large scale.

The Market

Oct. 3. — The market was unfavor-
ably affected during the latter part of
last week and the first day of this by
the Jewish holidays, when many of the
usual buyers abstained from business. As
if to counteract any possible improvement
in the market, yesterday and today have
tried hard to make up for any deficiency
which the late Summer months might
have been guilty of. At any rate, these
two days turned out to be the hottest re-
corded for a generation of any week in
October. As it looks now and as the
weather prognosticator takes pleasure in
predicting we are in for a lengthy term
of warm weather. Without much trouble
the thermometer managed to climb to
85 deg. in the shade and stay there for
some tew hours. Weather like this natur-
ally makes every sort of flower to sit up
and take notice and then to pop open
with a rush.

It is interesting to note in the Boston
papers that what greatly pleases the
florists of the town is unwelcome news
to many persons and organizations. The
Boston Post under date of Oct. 3 carries
the following: "The order introduced two
weeks ago — which was passed by the
school committee last night — changing the
opening date of the Boston schools from
the second Wednesday after Labor Day
to the first Wednesday after Labor Day
brought forth a number of protests from
persons and organizations who strongly
object to the earlier date. Among those
most strongly opposed to the new meas-
ure is the New England Hotel Men's As-
sociation which considers Oct. 1 the proper
time for opening the schools. The com-
munications received were considered and
placed on file by the school committee.
The viewpoint of the school board, how-
ever, was not changed. No parent organi-
zation or any representatives of the teach-
ers has so far declared opposition to the
reopening on the date specified."

good to very good especially in connec-
tion with social affairs.

The Rose market has received a decided
setback on account of the unusual warm
weather which is responsible for stock
becoming soft and arriving too open in
many cases. The high temperature has
also sent forward the flowers in quantity
and prices have had to give way. The
change in price affects every variety and
still points downward.

Red Roses are enjoying a good demand
and, although the supply has increased
considerably within a week or two, they
are still bringing a cent or two1 above
quotations for other colors. Today, many
lots of the standard varieties have been
sold for rather little money, but fresh
and attractive stock has commanded from
4c. for 9in. to 10c. and 12c. for 24in.
goods. If this warm spell should keep
on for a few days more, then the Rose
market may be expected to bust wide
open.

Carnations are holding their own with
a tendency to do better than the present
price which is 3c. to 4e. for ordinary va-
rieties and up to 6e. for such sorts as
Laddie and Maine Sunshine. The demand
for Carnations has increased while the
supply is not any too strong. The quality
and length of stem is fast making head-
way.

The Market

"Well,'" said the wholesaler, "it's
lucky that business is better than last
year, because there's a sight more stock
around for the time of year." That's
about the size of the market at time of
writing (Oct. 2). Dahlias are in plenty,
some are wonderful stock. Who would
want to buy the higher priced Chrysan-
themums when such choice Dahlias are
available?

Roses started to open up last week,
but Oct. 2 saw the gates swing loose and
a flood of stock come in. Most of it is
fair, and finds a good demand. Of course,
some other flower has to suffer for the
popularity of the acknowledged queen.

Carnations are about twice as plenti-
ful at time of writing as they were last
year, according to the opinion of several
wholesalers. Indeed, from the look of
things and the number of new houses
going up all around, besides the ready
sale for cuttings and small pot plants
there will be a heavy supply for future.

Asters are about over for the season.

Notes

Some fine Insulinde Dahlias were
noticed at the Philadelphia Cut Flower

The Evergreen Supply Co. is the

well. Philip Miller and Martin J. Gan-
non will manage the new concern with
James Manning as assistant. Doors were

Baseball

The uncertainty which attached to
the standing of the clubs and the status
of the teams was definitely wiped away
the evening of Oct. 2 when six captains
gathered at Pennock's and decided the
questions of moment.

(1) Niessen won the last game with
Bickmore on forfeit, bringing Bickmore
to a tie with Bayersdorfer for first.

(2) This tie will be played off Sunday
afternoon, Oct. 8, at 2 p.m., at 63d st.
and Spruce.

The winner gets the cup and no hard
feelings on either side.

Kenneth Meehan has returned from
his wedding trip.

Retailers

The store of T. Neilson Geiger was
closed Oct. 3 on account of the funeral
of Mrs. L. P. Geiger, who passed away
Sept. 29. Many members of the trade
sent floral pieces.

A new store opened Oct. 2 at 6225
Landsdowne ave. The proprietor is
Frank Van Roden.

Charles Durand, who has been manag-
ing the 60th st. store for Frank Boss,
has left for Lancaster, Pa., where he will
manage the store of B. F. Barr Co.

Pennoek Bros, had an excellent Autumn
window last week. Green and bronze
satin formed the draping and golden
browns and copper shades were worked
out in colored vases and Dahlias. The
designer is Edward Weber, at one time
with H. H. Battles.

Miss Anna F. Schmidt, who resigned
this Summer after eight years' service
with the Philadelphia Cut Flower Co., is
now employed at T. Neilson Geiger's.

We regret to report the failure of
Samuel Sproul, the prominent West
Philadelphia florist. His four stores closed
Sept. 25 and he has left the city. The
amount involved is said to exceed $25,-
000, but few if any of the trade will fig-
ure as creditors. Rumor has it that the
58th st. and 62d st. stores may possibly
reopen under new management.

Club Elects Officers

A large attendance reported at the
Hotel Adelphi Oct. 3 for the annual club
meeting and election of officers. Nomina-
tion for president was declined by Leo
Niessen and Edward Reid was nominated
for that office. E. P. Klinger withdrew
his name as a candidate for secretary
and the results of the election are: Presi-
dent, Edward Reid; vice-president, John
W. Prince; treasurer, George Craig; sec-
retary, Robert Kift.

The reports of the secretary and treas-
urer for 1922 showed the club in a
healthy condition in every way.

Three new members proposed for elec-
tion at the next meeting were: George
Rarishi, Landsdowne; Charles Berger,
Germantown, and H. I. Dumont, Philadel-
phia.

Prof. Wilde of Penn State College
spoke concerning methods of getting an
extension worker allotted to floriculture
in the State and also made an appeal for
financial support for his institution from
florists, in connection with the two million
dollar drive by the college.

Robert Kift entertained those present
with an account of his trip to California
this Summer and gave some idea of the
trade in various cities he visited.

Some fine Dahlias, grown by George
Wolfrum, were exhibited by the Phila-
delphia Cut Flower Co., and by the Dah-
liadale Nurseries, of Vineland, N. J.. The
Wm. K. Harris Co. had a nice display of
foliage plants.

All members possessing automobiles are
requested to place them at the disposal
of the club committee Oct. 9 for the pur-
pose of extending a proper welcome _ to

off on their way to the Baltimore conven-
tion.

BOSTON— Continued from page 954

Asters are going out of fashion. Really
good ones are bringing 4c, being hard to
find. Ordinary and mediocre grades are
still plentiful and make from lc. to 3c.

Good Gladioli are wanted but hard to
get; the season for them is over in the
field. Most of the stock arriving is only
half developed and opens poorly. Also
the fields are pretty much picked over.
The very best Gladioli realize up to $1
per doz. Other grades from 75c. down
to 50c.

Chrysanthemums, contrary to expecta-
tions, have so far shown up only in small
lots and the quality is nothing to brag of.
Many growers report losses of crops and
thrips is declared to raise havoc in a
number of greenhouses. The varieties so
far arriving consist entirely of Early
Frost, White Frost, Yellow Frost, Golden
Glow, Chrysolora and a few Smiths Ad-
vance. No Pompon or single 'Mums have
appeared yet.

Violets, poor in shape, color and stem,
and Sweet Peas of not much better qual-
ity are to be had in small lots. Mari-
golds are more plentiful, finding a good
demand; they are not bad. All the other
miscellaneous flowers are represented as
finding visual sales. Gypsophila elegans is
sticky, being poor.

Cattleyas are sufficiently plentiful to
satisfy a good demand and bring from $9
to $12 per doz. for Labiata, Gigas and a
few Gaskelliana. Handsome hybrids are
seen and these make up to $18 per doz.
Lily of the Valley was very scarce up to
a few days ago, but more of it is now
coming in and the price has come down
to from 10c. to 12e. No Lilies of any
sort are to be seen and only a very lim-
ited supply of hardy Delphinium.

News Notes

The many friends of Louis Small,
Tewksbury, Mass., will be grieved to?
learn that he is confined to the hospital,''
on account of serious and painful injuries
received while working about the pumping
engine in the greenhouse. He was doing
something with the belt when his right
hand got caught and the ligaments were
badly torn. At the hospital he had to be
kept under the influence of ether from
10 in the morning until 4 in the after-
noon while the doctors gathered up the
torn muscles and tendons. Although the

Florist Growers-Take Notice!

Progressive growers who spare no ex-
pense or effort in raising highest grade
stock should use Standard Recording
Thermometers and know their great aid
in keeping records of temperatures. Your
equipment is incomplete without a stand-
ard Recording Thermometer. Records are
an important factor in every business.
The actuating element of the Standard
Recording Thermometer is of lamina metal,
which, besides being extremely sensitive to
temperature changes, is practically indestruc-
tible. Record charts are furnished either
daily or weekly, and the whole mechanism
is contained in an attractive metal case
fitted with lock and key, which insures the
record from being tampered with.

The Price is $40.00

patient is still in a precarious condition
the doctors hold out hopes that his hand
may be saved. Mr. Small is well known
as an expert grower of Carnations,
Bachelor Buttons and, for the last few
years, of yellow Marguerites, which he
now grows almost exclusively, sending
them to New York, Chicago, Buffalo, Al-
bany and other parts.

Eric R. Anderson's Conservatories at
Natick, Mass., formerly the Waban Rose
Conservatories, are sending to I. Mirsky,
salesman at the Exchange Flower Mar-
ket, especially well grown Hadley Roses
with stems measuring from 24in. to 27in.,
besides some fine Russell, Premier, But-
terfly and Ophelia. The firm also was
first in the market with Violets.

John J. Curley of Dorchester has en-
joyed a rest from greenhouse work while
serving on the jury in the Criminal Court
for the last few weeks.

Chester Paine, Randolph, Mass., re-
ceived 140 cases of French and Holland
bulbs which arrived last week, in care of
T. D. Downing & Co., on the steamers
Glen Ridge and Burgendyk. Other re-
cipients are Peter Hylen, Lively & Bond
and Harry Landerman. The bulbs are
said to be in fine condition and of a
high grade.

Harry Cedar, Winchester, Mass.,^ is
making important alterations and im-
provements in his store and has also just
put into commission a new delivery
truck.

The Biltmore Flower Shop, located in
the new Biltmore Hotel in Providence,
R. I., can well claim to be one of the fin-
est retail flower stores in the East. At
the recent opening of the hotel which is
the largest one in New England, the
Biltmore Flower Shop was kept busy
for over two weeks, decorating the halls,
offices and individual suites with plants,
flowers and accessories. There is a con-
stant demand for table decorations, bou-
quets and cut flowers. R. Popkin, the
proprietor, with Edward Murray, for-
merly with J. W. Small of New York and
Thos. F. Galvin, Inc., of Boston and New
York, make a hustling pair. An experi-
enced staff of assistants work with them.

At the great Brockton Fair which opens
on Oct. 3, William N. Craig, formerly
superintendent of Faulkner Farm, will
have charge of staging and arranging the
exhibits of 350 granges belonging to the
Massachusetts State Grange.

Thomas Roland, Nahant, is sending to
the Cooperative Market, a fine selection
of Nerines, the first of the season.

Marigolds are finding as much, if not
more, favor than ever. The finest flowers
of this kind coming to the Flower Ex-
change Market are handled by Moe Leib-
man, who receives daily shipments from
Peter Hylen, Randolph, Mass. The flow-
ers sell themselves and that suits Moe.

N. A. G. Meeting

The Boston branch of the National
Association of Gardeners held a well at-
tended meeting in Horticultural Hall,
Boston, on the evening of Sept. 26, at
which the reports from the recent conven-
tion were submitted. President Robert
Cameron directed the meeting and Secre-

tary Wm. N. Craig read the financial
report which was accepted and showed
an insignificant deficit on the overturn of
considerably over $1000, that went to
make the convention a success. A steno-
graphic report of all the proceedings dur-
ing the two days' business transactions,
was at the disposal of the members, many
of whom were surprised to see in type
their vociferations and well meant de-
bates. The secretary mentioned the fact
that many letters had been received from
visitors from a distance in which these
visitors spoke in kindly and appreciative
terms of the great welcome and fine time
they found in Boston. The letters also
expressed the conviction that the charm-
ing private estates near Boston, Boston's
park system and the innumerable points
of historical interest. in this part of the
country were a real revelation to those who
had never beheld these things. The beau-
tiful, velvety lawns of great extent, the
wonderful collection of trees and shrubs
and, especially the Rose gardens on sev-
eral of the estates came in for a good
deal of admiration. How lawns and Roses
can be brought to such perfection was a
wonder to many experienced gardeners.
Robert Cameron and John G. Duguid,
who ought to know something about it,
say that laying the Roses down for Win-
ter, protecting them against mice, feed-
ing the right way through the growing
season and everlasting sprayings with
Bordeaux mixture and copper solution,
not to forget frequent dustings with sul-
phur will do the trick. As these two
veterans say, growing fine Roses is simply
a matter of labor and time and doing
everything Roses require before it is too
late. The visitors also were immensely
impressed with the thorough arrange-
ments which had been made to facilitate
the work at the business meetings, which
were said to have been constructive, in-
teresting and snappy. How the hard-
working members of the respective com-
mittees did enjoy to hear all this.

It was voted to send letters of thanks
to all the parties who had so generously
contributed financial support and the loan
of automobiles for the occasion. Many
new and important owners of private es-
tates have joined the organization as sus-
taining members.

Welch's, Inc., wholesale and retail es-
tablishment has been moved from 288
Devonshire to 95 Summer St., where a
capacious and well adapted store loca-
tion has been secured. The new store is
situated on one of Boston's busiest streets,
close to South station and in the heart of
the; retail district. The store is being
fitted out in line with all demands of
modern ideas and a competent staff of
assistants has been engaged by Edward J.
Welch, president of the company.

The numerous friends of James Mc-
Hutchison, New York, will be pleased
to know that Mr. McHutchison will be
able to leave the hospital, where he has
been confined since the automobile acci-
dent which befell his some four months
ago in Waverly, within a week or so
with his health perfectly restored.

A Powerful Yet Harmless and Efficient Insecticide Which Has
Stood the Test of Time

FOR GREENHOUSE USE

Roses and Carnations should be sprayed every two weeks with
Wilson's O. K. Plant Spray to keep them free from aphis, red
spider and mildew. Such prominent growers as J. T. Everitt, at
Glen Cove, L. I., and David Miller, Tuxedo Park, N. Y., use
Wilson's O. K. Plant Spray very extensively for a greenhouse
spray. Wilson's O. K. Plant Spray is used by most of the leading
growers in the country for inside and outside spraying.

AXFIXO CONTACT DUST

(THE SUPERIOR NICOTINE DUST)

Highly efficient in the control of all aphis, green fly, white fly, mealy bug. thrips,
midge, red spider, ants, caterpillars, and many other soft bodied insects.

AXFIXO is not a tobacco dust — it is a nicotine dust which gives off nicotine gas
when exposed to the air. This gas envelops the entire plant insuring death to all
nsects. It will not injure the most delicate foliage.

Excellent for either indoor or outdoor work. Packed in 5-, 50-, 100-lb. containers.

GREENHOUSES

A Few Points of Superiority Found Only in
Steel Frame Flat Rafter Construction

(1) Steel posts and rafters are spaced
eight feet five inches apart, regardless of
length or width of house. There's no
possibility of sagging between rafters or
danger that wind and snow loads will
collapse the house.

(2) Purlins are spaced not more than
four feet apart. These form a strong
base to which sash bars are screwed.
There's no vibration to loosen or break
glass and cause roof to leak.

(3) Frames are fastened together at
ridge and eaves with doubled malleable
iron plates bolted onto both ides of frame,
This prevents frames from twisting.

(4) The interior posts and cross-ties
are threaded to malleable iron plates.
The plates are bolted to the rafters.
The roof is absolutely rigid and there's
no chance for the rafter to pull away from
the post or cross-tie

(5) Tie-rods from eave to ridge, from

ridge to eave and from grade to eave at
gables prevent swaying in any direction
and distributes strains.

(6) Gables are braced with flat steel
rafters and angle purlins fastened to-
gether with malleable fittings. The wind
can't blow in or blow out this gable.

(7) Sash bars, ridge, ventilator frames,
doors and all other woodwork are of the
lightest and strongest wood suitable for
the purpose. They're not affected by
sun, rain, snow, acid or any other element.
All woodwork is guaranteed heartwood.

(8) The quality of workmanship and
material is of the best.

(9) Longest service with the minimum
cost for repairs.

(10) Maximum production — minimum
cost of operation.

We'll be glad to tell you more about
this house and to send you our latest
illustrated bulletin number 51A.

(5) Tie-rods from eave to ridge, from illustrated bulletin number 51A.

A Welcome for Wanderers

Mrs. Wm. W. Edgar of Waverly, Mass.,
and the Misses Emily and Catherine Ed-
gar, her daughters, arrived from Europe
on the White Star liner, Pittsburgh, on
Sept. 27 after an absence of exactly three
months, during which they had a most
enjoyable journey through the British
Isles, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland,
Italy and France. The party was fa-
vored with excellent weather and health
every day of the trip and speak in glow-
ing terms of all the sights encountered.
They visited the battlefields in Belgium
and France and climbed mountains in
the Alpine Republic. A pleasing surprise
awaited the travelers when the ladies
reached home in the evening. The en-
trance, grounds and residence were at-
tractively decorated with palms, decora-
tive plants and flowers and over the en-
trance a large sign in flowers and spark-
ling with red, white and blue electric
lights bid the returning owners welcome
home.

George H. Noyes, the well known and
much liked salesmen at the Exchange
Flower Market has returned from a
week's automobile outing which took him
and his family to Lake George in New
York State and over the Mohawk trail
on his way back..

Lieutenant Robert C. Bridgham, pro-
prietor of the Newton Rose Conservato-
ries, Newton, Mass., commanded the ar-
tillery forces of the Ancient and Honor-
able Artillery Company of Boston, when
this exclusive military detachment em-
marked, 300 strong, on the good ship
Fort Hamilton at the Hoosack docks on
Thursday, Sept. 28, intent upon the cap-
ture of Bermuda Island. The Fall Field
Day of the Ancients has ever been some
event and this year will mark the 285th
set of maneuvres.

Thomas F. Galvin, Inc., 1 Park st.,
claim the revival of business as an ac-
tual fact viewed from the standpoint of
their activities. They have filled several
foreign orders for notables by cable this
week. An order was sent to a village in
Nova Scotia, Mr. Mahoney accompany-
ing the flowers to destination and his
trip consuming six days. In funeral
work they say orders for casket mantles
have become quite general.

Charles F. Boyle, president of the Gal-
vin firm, will attend the F. T. D. con-
vention in Baltimore, accompanied by
Robert A. Hale, manager of the New
York store.

Fred Kuhne

of Hicksville

Makes His Plans With a Stick

Being Number Three
of the Long Island Trail Hits

Fred Kuhne is another one of the many who
started with a Pipe Frame and graduated into
an Iron Frame. His Sweet Pea house is a fifty
footer. You should have seen his vines.
All of us in going about, hear of how this one and
that one grows the best peas on the Island, and
how they get more per bloom than anybody else.
But you and I know that reputation has a lot to
do with what you hear. While a man is getting
his reputation, it must be that he is growing

top-notch stock or he wouldn't ever gain a reputa-
tion for growing it. Keep your eye on Fred Kuhne.
Don't fool yourself because he hasn't a big range
of houses. It isn't how big your houses are, that
counts. It's what you grow in them. The photo
below shows him drawing a plan in the dirt with
a stick. A plan for another L. & B. house.

Frank Manker of Farmingdale, instead of selling
out, built a big L. & B. iron framer. We'll tell you
about it soon now.

BALTIMORE-W THE BEST YET!

FLORISTS' TELEGRAPH DELIVERY ASSOCIATION

ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING

Hotel Emerson, Baltimore, Oct. 10-12, 1922

Crowds, Enthusiasm, Inspiration, Progress — These, Plus the Association's Threefold Symbolic Slogan — Mark

Notable Success of This Year's Business Sessions

T^vULL gray skies, from which descended torren-
I 1 tial rains while the F. T. D. members were fore-
^"^ gathering for their annual meeting at Balti-
more, failed to dampen their ardor or throw a wet
; blanket over the event. On the contrary, the long
awaited moisture (from the growers' standpoint)
seemed to stimulate an even more bountiful growtti
of noble thoughts, high aspirations and flowers of
well chosen speech. And in consequence the Balti-
;more meeting can probably be written down as one
of the finest in point of achievement, largest in point
of attendance and most productive in point of in-
spiration and encouragement of any ever held.

When, for example, has a convention or meeting
I of any kind in the course of its first day, listened to
such a flood of resounding oratory as was heard in
the ballroom of the Emerson Hotel, nominated and
I elected its officers for a new year, passed upon one
i of its two main business problems, and practically
settled upon its meeting places for the next four
years? Yet those were all upon the completed agenda
of this remarkable meeting by six o'clock Tuesday

■ evening.

Of course to one who, like the writer, has never
'had the privilege of "sitting in" on an F. T. D. ses-
sion, the meeting held points of interest and signifi-
cance that might not strike the experienced, more
| sophisticated member. Yet among the whole body of
more than 300 souls who jostled one another in the
lobby, sat side by side in the convention room, rubbed
elbows at lunch or in any other way took part in the
deliberations and lighter activities, it was hard to
find one who did not appear fully satisfied, yes more
than satisfied with what was done, said, enjoyed,

■ accomplished and planned.

Who is to be thanked for this? First, without
doubt, the boys of Baltimore, old and young (and,

i of course, the Maryland maids and matrons, too;
who set the stage and put all the machinery in readi-
ness for a triumphant performance. The committee
personnel has been given in full before; we will not
repeat it, but will doff our hats in gratification and
congratulation to every individual involved. Next
should come the pilots and captain and mates and
crew of the association, who had planned in advance
the work these had to do and who carried out the
plan with such forceful, orderly effectiveness.

Then we must thank President Breitmeyer for
again so ably and fairly serving as "overseer ;" "His
Honor the Mayor" for taking the time to be present
and for making clear the fact that he was interested
and pleased to be on hand ; the courteous hotel man-

I agement, and — but what's the use? Let us instead

j attempt a running account of the meeting from the
outset ; and let it be understood that whoever is rnen-

! tioned or referred to is entitled to a share of the
praise for the meeting's success.

It was about 10.20 o'clock when Chas. F. Feast,
vice-president of the association, rapped for order-
with a gavel tastefully decorated with flowers and
ribbons of black and yellow, the colors of Baltimore.
To deliver the invocation he called upon the Rev.
Arthur B. Kinsoling, rector of St. Paul's Protestant
Episcopal Church, whom he described as one of Balti-
more's most beloved ministers. Also he represented
the city's pioneer church, one first founded when the
community itself was born and since twice rebuilt
upon the original site.

Dr. Kinsoling's prayer was carefully and beauti-
fully fitted to the occasion, giving thanks as it did
for the beauties and bounties of Nature and for or-
ganizations such as the F. T. D. that are aiming to
strengthen and spread the gospel of that beauty; and
asking continued strength and guidance in the work
of service and of brotherhood as is so perfectly exem-
plified by flowers. "Let us," he concluded, "make
flowers a symbol of our belief in immortal life."

At this point Mayor Wm. F. Broening was escorted
into the hall by a committee of Baltimore florists,
led by Wm. F. Ekas, but before he was introduced
Mr. Feast struck the first chord of what proved a

most inspiring feature of the day, by calling upon
little Miss Wilhelmina Gude, of Washington. Step-
ping to the platform she recited a few lines in her
clear childish treble as there were carried in to a
position immediately in front of the rostrum, first

a beautiful silk American flag and then the banner
of Canada. Led by a string and piano orchestra the
meeting sang America; then after a few more lines
by Miss Gude, the national anthem of the Dominion.
When these flags had been draped at the sides of the
platform, another verse delivered 'by Miss Gude
brought in three more banners, one the colors of
Maryland, a second, those of Baltimore, and between
them the blue and white F. T. D. flag presented to the
association by its lady members a year ago. After
the singing of "Baltimore, My Baltimore," these ban-
ners were draped back of the speakers' platform, and
the audience now filled with enthusiasm settled back
to enjoy the speeches that, one after another, held
them tense with interest or aroused them to repeated
bursts of applause.

First, Mayor Broening, who said that no matter
what the sacrifice in the line of his official duties, 'It
was full compensation to gather with the associa-
tion and absorb some of its spirit and inspiration.
Furthermore he proved that he meant it by making
a speech of telling emphasis — no perfunctory wel-
come, but a carefully thought out message from
which the visitors got the impression that the city
was only too grateful for the chance of entertaining
and sheltering them. Saying that in flowers the flo-
rists had apparently solved the problem of the "uni-
versal language" for which the world has long been
seeking, he closed with a sweeping offer to the
visitors of "anything they saw in Baltimore that they
took a fancy to — and if they couldn't take it with
them, he'd see that it was packed and sent."

Amid the applause that followed, President Breit-
meyer presented the mayor with a handsome basket
of flowers, and then gave another to Dr. Kinsoling,
both of which were acknowledged with the sort of
appreciation that really, counts.

As senior director, Wm. J. Smyth, of Chicago, made
a response in which he said that when "young Bob"
Graham went to Ontario last year and said that he
"simply must bring the F. T. D. to Baltimore in order
to keep in right with Dad," there was nothing more
to do — so "here we are." Sketching some of the
tasks before the meeting he spoke of it as one that
was likely to go down into history as of unprece-
dented importance — as a veritable maker of F. T. D.
history.

An unexpected pleasure followed when Mr. A. L.
Goldsborough, secretary of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers Association made a speech that was full
of fun as well as fine sentiments and interesting facts.
Commenting on the quotation spoken by Miss Gude
that

" Flag Adoration is the Backbone of the Nation.".

he analyzed the thought and emphasized the fact
that he who is strengthened by lofty sentiment is
proof against all temptation. And then he brought
out one of the heartiest laughs of the session by
showing the strength of the association in that re-
spect in view of the fact that he had interpreted
F. T. D. to mean "Fight the Devil." Any organiza-
tion with such a motto, and such sentiment as that
conveyed by flowers behind it, was he said secure
and beyond danger. Listing some of Baltimore's past
achievements in the cause of the nation and lib-
erty, he mentioned as its latest accomplishments that
it had "united and captured the organization of
those who have learned to think in poetry to express
their thoughts in flowers."

Still another unscheduled event followed when the
chairman introduced Chas. H. (which he said, he
thought must mean "Harmony") Grakelow whose
name and broadly smiling face aroused first laughter,
then cheers. Suffice it to say that his little talk was
fully up to his standard — and that is "going somej."

With quiet humor, followed by some serious and
splendidly phrased words of greeting and encourage-
ment. Robt. L. — or "Dad" Graham as he was con-
sistently and affectionately referred to — spoke on
behalf of the local florists. And if there was stjil

F. T. D. A. Meeting

(Continued from page 975)

any doubt that the F. T. D. was welcome to all Balti-
more had to offer, he must have dispelled it.

As Mr. Feast then gave over the gavel to President
Breitmeyer — or "our Philip Breitmeyer" as he called
him, Wilhelmina Gude again contributed to the joy
of the meeting by stepping forward and presenting
the chief executive with the little bouquet of Sweet-
heart Roses she had been carrying. For some mo-
ments then, one was reminded of the typical demon-
strations at a political convention.

When the tumult quieted down another innovation
followed in the form of the reading aloud, in unison,
by the whole gathering standing, the F. T. D. pledge,
copies of which had previously been distributed. There
was something distinctly solemn about this, a feeling
that here were a body of men and women seriously,
voluntarily binding themselves to certain high stand-
ards of business conduct in such a way that failure
■ to live up to them was made practically impossible.
; After introducing Carl Engelmann, of Saffron Wal-
den, England, as the representative of European F. T.
D. interests and aspirations, Mr. Breitmeyer read his
annual address. [See another column.]

Following some announcements regarding lunch
and later sessions a pleasant interruption occurred
when Earl Mann, of the E. G. Hill Co., brought in a
huge vase of the brand new pink Rose, America, a
novelty for introduction in 1923. Having at past F.
T. D. meetings showed Columbia, Premier and Mme.
Butterfly, it seemed fitting that the Hill concern
should again put a creation on display. The Fred H.
Lemon Co., also of Richmond, then brought in a vase
of a charming pale yellow blush pink Rose, named
Amelia E. Gude — a choice of title which apparently
won the full approval of all. Later in the session,
a Michigan grower contributed a third vase of a
handsome pale pink unnamed seedling^the result of
a cross between Ophelia and Jannsen. As (?) a sug-
gestion, Secretary Pochelon said that someone shoufd
name a Rose "Determination," after part of the
association's creed— feeling that it would be a most
happy augury for the variety so designated.

After President Breitmeyer had named a committee
to judge the window displays including Messrs.
Geraghty, of Ontario and Engelmann, of England,
Mr. Grakelow took the floor, called Mr. Geraghty for-
ward and in a characteristically wholehearted speech,
presented him with a handsome traveling bag — a trib-
ute for his efforts in making last year's meeting such
a success — and for bringing so large a delegation to
Baltimore this year. Mr. Geraghty was purely and
simply "flabbergasted." but managed to express his
thanks in a manner that left us no doubt of their sin-
cerity.

After the reading of several letters and telegrams
of regrets and good wishes from those who could
not attend ; and after it was voted to send flowers to
the President and Mrs. Harding; and after Henry
Penn had spoken a few words about the National Pub-
licity Campaign and thanked the association for the
contribution of .$2500 voted by the directors the day
before, the session adjourned.

Only to the other end of the mezzanine floor, how-
ever, where a delicious lunch was served to "every-
one present and his friend." Another indication of
the way in which the Baltimorean hosts were doing
themselves proud.

Tuesday— Second Session

The afternoon session began about 2.30 with the
reading by Mr. Smyth of the report of the Finance
Unit and the Treasurer who was detained in Kansas
City. The summarized figures as certified to by the
accountant as of Aug. 31, 1922, are as follows :

M. Bloy, manager of the F. T. D. News made a re-
port on that journal's successful two year career, ex-
plaining how it was serving the members and how
they could support it. This report was accepted on
motion of Max Schling, who then, for the F. T. D.
Sews Unit, made a spirited and eulogistic report on
the magazine, its workers, aims and results.

Called upon for the Secretary's Report, Albert
Pochelon took hold of his hearers as he and only he
can do, and made them smile and also think seriously
of their responsibilities and opportunities. If any-
one says a secretary's report need be dry and stereo-
typed, let him listen awhile to "Push." (Published

Important Ruling by F. H. B,

Plants Under Special Permit to bs Admitted Without Washing,
But Must be Free from Loose Soil

EVERY American nurseryman and plantsman who
does any importing will be interested in the out-
come of the special hearing held by the F. H. B.
in Washington on Tuesday, Oct. 3, on the subject of
plant importation under special permit.

A great many nurserymen who have imported
plants during the last two years under the require-
ment that the roots must be "washed free from sand,
soil or earth" have reported a higher percentage of
failures than they ever had before, even in cases
where the plants seemed to be in good conditions when
received. These losses have been very general. Even
old established firms who have been importing for 20
to 40 years, have, almost without exception, had sim-
ilar experience this year. The general feeling has
been that these losses have been the direct result of
the washing out of the roots of plants before shipment
from the other side.

There were present at the hearing Dr. Marlatt, Dr.
Lunisden, Dr. Kellerman, Dr. Orton, Mr. Sasser, Dr.
Coville, Dr. Wm. A. Taylor, Chief of Bureau of Plant
Industry ; Mr. Wood, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Althouse,
all these of the Department of Agriculture, and
J. W. Hill, of Des Moines, chairman of the special
nurserymen's committee ; Paul Lindley, president of
the American Association of Nurserymen ; Harlan P.
Kelsey, vice-president of the A. A. of N. ; F. F. Rock-
well, secretary of the Eastern Nurserymen's Associa-
tion ; and Charles Perkins, of Jackson & Perkins, nur-
serymen, representing the nurserymen at large.

Mr. Hill stated the ease for the nurserymen, after
which both he and Mr. Perkins submitted as evidence
a volume of correspondence from old and well-known
nurserymen all over the country, such as Bobbink &
Atkins, Storrs & Harrison Co., W. A. Manda, Ilgen-
fritz' Sons Co., Edward Welch, Maloney Brothers &
Wells, Chase Brothers Co., Koster & Co. and more
than a score of others, all tending to show that the
results of washing have been very serious and, in
many instances, disastrous.

Mr. Hill emphasized the fact that the nurserymen
of the country wanted to cooperate with the Federal
Horticultural Board in every way possible, and that
they approved its object in wanting to reduce to a
minimum the danger of the possibility of introducing
new insects and diseases on imported stock. He stated
that the committee felt, however, that stock could be
brought into the country without having the roots
washed, but with the soil so thoroughly shaken out
that no lumps or balls of soil would remain in the
roots to make thorough inspection impossible. Dr.
Coville, of the Bureau of Plant Industry, of the De-
partment of Agriculture, who has had many years of
experience with ericaceous plants, stated that in his
opinion, washing the soil from the roots of plants of
this kind was very dangerous, and generally proved
fatal, even under greenhouse conditions where the
plants could be given every care and kept under per-
fect control, after transplanting. Mr. Lunisden, who
has visited many of the nurseries of the country
where imported stock had been planted last year,
told of a few cases, involving especially Azaleas from
Japan, where the imported stock had grown success-
fully, but stated that in the great majority of cases,
the stock had been practically a failure after trans-
planting, even where it was given every possible care.
Mr. Lunisden for the F. H. B. stated that in the in-
stance of the Azaleas mentioned (A. Kurume), each
individual plant, after being washed, had had its roots
wrapped in Sphagnum moss and carefully bound in
twine. There was no instance wherein Rhododendron
stocks which had been washed had given at all a sat-
isfactory stand. In many cases 40 to 90 per cent of
them had been lost.

There was considerable discussion as to whether
losses were the result of washing, or of careless han-
dling methods, such as exposing the roots to the dry-
ing action of the air, in packing the stock too wet
after it bad been washed, etc. Every member of the
nurserymen's committee felt that the attitude of the
Board throughout the discussion was fair and open
minded ; and every member of the Board seemed
anxious to do anything which could be done to help
meet the practical problems which the nurserymen
have found themselves up against in connection with
importing stock under special permit.

Dr. Marlatt explained at length that the reason
why the Board had inserted the clause requiring
washing the roots of plants was not that the Board
wished to make the ruling more stringent, but that
exporters packing the plants in other countries ap-
parently could not be made to understand just what

the words "free from sand, soil and earth" meant ;
and that the result has been not only a great deal of
trouble for the Board, but also dissatisfaction on the
part of importers when shipments were refused, be-
cause the roots of the plants had not been properly
cleaned. This made it necessary for the Board to
require "washing," as that established a standard
which could not be misunderstood.

Samples of stock were submitted by the nursery-
men showing that the roots could be made practically
free from dirt by shaking, but without removing the
film of soil and the small root hairs which are lost
as a result of washing.

After a long, friendly discussion, the members of
the Board present expressed themselves as willing to
try once more the admission of plants without wash-
ing, provided it would be with the strict understand-
ing that the roots must be entirely free from any
large particles of soil. The wording suggested was
that the roots of plants imported under special per-
mit "shall be free from all adhering particles of sand,
soil, earth or peat." In the case of Rhododendrons or
other plants where the soil cannot be removed suffi-
ciently by thorough shaking, it may be necessary to
wash them, but washing will not be required.

Dr. Marlatt made it plain that, while the Board
was willing to cooperate with the nurserymen to the
extent of modifying the ruling requiring washing,
shipments carelessly cleaned and packed, so that the
soil is not thoroughly removed, would have to be re-
jected.

This modification of the ruling of the Board will be
accepted as very good news by the nurserymen of the
United States and undoubtedly will result in an in-
crease in the importation of stock for propagation
under the special permit ruling. F. F. Rockwell.

Bulb Conference Called for October 30

Long Awaited Opportunity to Discuss Quaran-
tine Regulations Promised by F. H. B.

Washington, D. C. — As a result of the agreement
reached last May during the plant quarantine confer-
ence before the Department of Agriculture, when it
was decided to hold a special meeting in the Fall to
consider the importation and restriction of bulbs.
Chairman C. L. Marlatt, of the Federal Horticultural
Board, has called a conference for Monday morning,
Oct. 30, at 10 o'clock. At this meeting it is expected
that consideration will be given to the status of the
bulbs already included under Regulation 3 and also
to any additions that can properly be made to the
list of bulbs open to unlimited importation.

C. L. L.

— The announcement referred to above has been
eagerly anticipated by those interested in bulbs —
whether as growers, importers, dealers or amateur
buyers — ever since the eventful conference of May 15.
Of course one whole season's opportunities have been
lost as the result of the desire of the Board to make
a full investigation of the subject before calling the
hearing. Also there is no possibility of foreign in-
terests being represented even to give any informa-
tion that might be sought from them. However, the
subject is still a live issue in every sense of the word,
and the nature of the discussion that occurs on Oct.
30, as well as of the action — if any — that follows,
will be looked for with consuming interest.

It is to be hoped — indeed it is vigorously urged —
that all who can possibly contribute facts and really
valuable information get to Washington on the 30th.
If modifications in regulation 3 are wanted, argument
must be advanced as to the whys and wherefores
and it must be accurate, convincing, carefully pre-
pared argument, too.

It has already been admitted by the F. H. B. that
the selection of the six kinds of bulbs now admitted
without restriction was based not on the dangerous
nature of different bulbs formerly imported, but
mainly upon the question of their relative availa-
bility. On such a basis there would seem to be ample
justification for extending the list.

However, prophecy in this connection is wholly
futile. We will see what we will see. But it is to be
hoped that those who have definite desires in their
hearts will be on hand to give them free expression
when the conference opens. There will be no excuse
for any complaints later on, if they fail to make
known their position when the F. H. B. again extends
its official hospitality to the trade a fortnight hence.

Notes from Abroad

The weather has been more favorable
during the past week, though hardly good
enough to make up for previous deficien-
cies; the ultimate fate of many crops is
still in the balance.

Cauliflower seed is turning out short-
er than anticipated in Italy, and deliv-
eries are under expectations. In England,
there are some fair crops, but in the
West of France, the wet and cool weath-
er has delayed gathering of the seed.
Vegetable Marrows give promise of a
good average crop in most districts.

Onions are very short generally; in
some parts decidedly bad. Bulbs being
expensive, the outlook for nest year is
not very promising, especially as growers
are said to be getting averse to this par-
ticular culture.

From Denmark come offers of Swedes
and Turnips, so there is evidently some
surplus of these articles there and also,
it is understood, of White Clover and
Sugar Beet. Of grass seeds, Meadow
Fescue and Poa trivialis have turned out
well, and Cocksfoot fairly well, though
the sample is inferior to that of last
season.

In Ireland and Scotland there has been
an increased acreage of perennial Bye
grass just out, due probably to the good
prices realized last year, and a larger
crop has been gathered. The quality of
the seed, however, is hardly so good, owing
to the adverse weather condition. As no
large stocks are on hand, prices are not
likely to go down. Almost the same re-
marks apply to Italian Bye grass. The
crop is a good one, but there is lighter
seed per bushel. Of Crested Dogtail, the
acreage is also larger, but still under the
normal. The crop ripened unevenly on
account of the contrary conditions, and
the sample is not as good as usual. As
to grasses generally, reports from the
Continent of Europe are coming in, and
it will soon be possible to make a sum-
mary of them.

Scotland has produced another fine
show. Though not equal in size to that
held recently in Glasgow, the Edinburgh
Autumn show was in no wise behind in
point of quality, and visitors to the Wav-
erley Market were very emphatic in their
appreciation.

Trials of several of the leading kinds
of flowers were held at the Boyal Hor-
ticultural Society Gardens at Wisley this
Summer, and visitors had a splendid op-
portunity of seeing what the leading Brit-
ish firms can produce in the way of Dah-
lias, Stocks and perennial Phloxes. Some
of the newer sorts of Sweet Peas were
also tried and awards of merit given,
among others, to Hebe, Hawlmark Salmon
Pink, Boyal Cherry and Picture, which
may also do well on your side if they get
a good chance.

The writer is glad to note that a start
has been made with the excellent project
of a Horticultural Arbitration Board.
A start is hardly the correct word, for a
complete scheme has been worked out as
the result of a couple of years labor.
Panels of experienced specialists as arbi-
trators have been formed for each depart-
ment of the trade, that is, for nursery-
men and seedsmen, for agricultural seeds-
men, for farmers, for market gardeners
and for fruit growers. Two arbitrators,
chosen from these panels, sit as adjudica-
tors to settle a dispute, and an "umpire is
nominated by the president of the Horti-
cultural Trades Association to decide in
case of difference. The proceedings will
be mainly conducted in writing, each
side furnishing a detailed statement of its
case, though evidence can also be given
orally if necessary. Fees will be charged,
but the costs will be infinitely less than
m any form of legal procedure, ranging
between a minimum of $5 and a maximum

of $25. Of course, the scheme can only
be pronounced a success after its prac-
ticability has been proved in actual
working, but if ever a scheme deserved
to succeed, this is the one. It is earnestly
to be hoped that the patient labors of
its promoters will receive their due re-
ward.

The latest caller on the London homes
from your side is A. L. Rogers of the
Bogers Brothers Seed Co., Chicago, intent
on doing business in seed Peas and Beans.

Sept. 25.

As regards the crops of natural grasses
on the Continent of Europe, the planta-
tions were, in general, greatly handi-
capped by the inclement Winter, the
cold and wet lasting well into May. The
weather then changed to dry and hot,
which conditions continued till July, so
that from one cause or another, vegeta-
tion was more or less retarded all the
time. Only in low lying, moist districts
was it possible for vigorous growth to take
place. The earlier and medium early
species suffered most, but the later ones
were also considerably affected.

From Germany Cocksfoot is being of-
fered freely, and the samples are brighter
in color than those coming from Denmark.
Festuca ovina, Poa pratensis, Poa nemo-
ralis, Poa trivialis, Aira caespitosa and
Avena flavescens have yielded small crops,
but Meadow Foxtail, Hurd Fescue and
Tall Fescue are scarce and dear. Alsike,
Bed Clover and Trefoil have also done
badly.

Holland growers report Achillea mille-
folium a fair crop of large seed, which
is offered at lower prices than last year.
Agrostis stolonifera has not come up to
expectations, but will be no scarcer than
it was in the preYious season. Avena
elatior is a short crop, but quality is
good. Festuca duriuscuia, Festuca tenui-
folia and Festuca elatior have not yielded
well, and seed is light. The same is the
case with Solium Westerwoldicum. Phlegm
pratense has turned out a fair average
crop and heavier seed than was expected.

The latest report from France as re-
gards Sainfoin are that it is plentiful and
of good quality. The western growers
say that Lettuces are coming in very
late, and that the cool and damp weather
has affected the seeding to a considerable
extent.

The Autumn show of the National Bose
Society, held Sept. 21, was considered to
be the finest the society had yet got to-
gether, and judging by the crowded at-
tendance, there is no doubt that the Eose
is still the most popular of all flowers.
Several fine new sorts were shown, and
one of especially tine quality — Florence
L. Izzard — was awarded the society's gold
medal. This is a pure yellow, and it
would appear that rosarians are approach-
ing nearer to the goal they have set them-
selves of producing a yellow variety as
satisfactory in all respects as the best
of the other shades.

In the flower markets generally, and
Covent Garden in particular, during last
week there was considerable depression,
and only a very few lines seemed to be
paying ones. For quantity, the Chrys-
anthemum reigned supreme and eclipsed
everything else, including some really well
grown Gladioli and the best that the late
Asters could produce.

Augusta, Ga — The retail store and
office of the N. L. Willet Seed Company
was destroyed by fire on Sept. i. With
praiseworthy energy, however, the firm
has quickly reestablished itself in tem-
porary quarters until the old building is
remodeled.

Atchison, Kan. — During a recent fire
here, the Mangelsdorf Seed Co. suffered
damages to the extent of $95,000, loss of
which was covered by insurance. In spite
; of these impediments, business is going
on as usual.

You've Got
to Spend Money
to Make Money

NOT HOW CHEAP
BUT HOW GOOD

Just because materials are
higher in costs you can't afford
to go on a "buyer's strike" and
tell the dealers to go to hades —
not at least if you intend to
stay in business — which particu-
larly applies to bulbs. It's up to you to produce to the limit
and rightly market your output so as to obtain the higher
prices necessary by the increased cost of production. But you've
got to start right, secure the best to be had. Horseshoe
Brand Bulbs have proven to be the best obtainable and are
never sold in competition against price. The following all
ready for immediate delivery at Duty Paid prices — which are
reasonable for first-class stock.

Dahlia Displays

One notable feature in several of the
larger seed stores this October is the
continuous display of Dahlia blooms
either in the window or salesroom, or
both. These displays are not mere hap-
hazard arrangements of a few medium
quality blooms, but are well arranged
exhibitions of the newer and choice va-
rieties legibly labeled. These shows
which are, without doubt, for the pur-
pose of encouraging orders, and will, we
judge from the groups of people which
they are drawing, bring that result.
Seedsmen with business acumen think
that they see the Dahlia coming into
even greater use as a garden cut flower,
and they confidently expect larger sales
of Dahlia tubers next Spring than in any
previous season. We may add that the
free distribution of printed lists of va-
rieties, which are offered with brief de-

Gladiolus Novelties

i

Mostly all of our own raising, including our new Gladiolus Maiden's Blush, of which
"The Florists Review" writes as follows:

"Gladiolus Maiden's Blush originates with J. J. Grullemans & Sons of Lisse, Holland,
being one of a number of Primuhnus hybrids of pronounced early flowering habit; among these
is Maiden's Blu*sh. The color of this beautiful variety is of a most attractive shade of light
pink, and some good judges think Maiden's Blush will become one of the most widely grown
and popular varieties when it is well known.

"It is said that this variety will force in the greenhouse in seven weeks."

In a former number of "The Florists Review" said: "Maiden's Blush has taken better
on the Chicago market than any other Gladiolus ever did."

New Begonia Chatelaine Supreme

"Supreme" is the proper word to use in connection
with this truly meritorious plant. Its superiority over
the well known Chatelaine consists in the following:

1st. Larger and heavier foliage.

2nd. Larger blooms, measuring from l}-2 to 2 in. across.

3rd. Deeper color.

4th. Quicker growth, cuttings taken in December will make specimen 8-in. pot plants
ten months later.

5th. Splendid keeping qualities, the flowers lasting longer than those of the old Chate-
laine.

Here are a few letters from some of the leading retail florists of St. Louis, showing what they
think of CHATELAINE SUPREME:

THEODORE MILLER, 5886 Delmar Boulevard, St. Louis, Mo.

S- S. Skidelsky & Co. Sept. 15, 1922.

Gentlemen: Answering your inquiry about Mr. Steidle's Begonia Chatelaine Supreme, which I
understand you have undertaken to put on the market during the coming season, I am satisfied that
the average retailer will find it most valuable as a Christmas pot plant. We have handled this Be-
gonia in quantity during the past two seasons in sizes from 5- to 8-in. pots, and had no trouble in get-
ting a very good price for them. Our trade in St. Louis, takes well to it. You will make no mistake
in introducing the Chatelaine Supreme to the trade. Very truly yours,

(Signed) THEODORE MILLER.

F. H. WEBER, Florist,
Taylor Ave. and Olive St., St. Louis, Mo.

Sept. 23, 1922.
Mr. John Steidle, Clayton, Mo.

Dear Sir: Your new Begonia Chatelaine Su-
preme is much superior to the old Chatelaine.
The flowers and foliage are much larger and the
flowers hold better. I find the Chatelaine Su-
preme sells better than Chatelaine. It makes a
much larger plant, as you well know.

The Supreme you sent me at Christmas and
Easter in the large size — 24 to 30 in. high — made
a fine show and sold rapidly, as did the smaller
sizes. Very truly yours,

(Signed) F. H. WEBER.
KOENIG FLORAL COMPANY,

4654 W. Florissant St., St. Louis, Mo.
S. S. Skidelsky & Co. _ Sept. 12, 1922.

Gentlemen: Comparison has proven that
"Steidle's Chatelaine Supreme Begonia" is far
superior over all others; it blooms quicker, has
heavier growth and larger foliage and represents
more when ready to sell. Very truly vours,
KOENIG FLORAL CO.

FRED C. WEBER,
4326 Olive St., St. Louis, Mo.

S. S. Skidelsky & Co. Sept. 11, 1922.

Gentlemen: Replying to your inquiry of
September 7th, I wish to say that we have
handled Mr. Steidle's Begonia Chatelaine Su-
preme and found them to be very satisfactory.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) FRED C. WEBER.
GEORGE WALDBART FLORAL CO., INC.,
516 North Grand Ave., St. Louis, Mo.
Sept. 21, 1922.
Mr. John Steidle, Olivette, Mo.

Dear Sir: Just a word to tell you of our entire
satisfaction with your new Begonia Chatelaine
Supreme.

It is a very good keeping plant, and makes a
better showing than the old variety, because of
its large, glossy foliage. The flowers do not
shake or fall off as easily as on the old variety.
During the coming season we expect to handle
twice as many of the new variety as we usually
did of the old.

Respectfully yours,
GEO. WALDBART FLORAL CO.

S. S. SKIDELSKY & CO.,

Per Otto G. Koenig, Sec'y-Treas.
Mr. Chas. Bever, a prominent grower and retailer of St. Louis, writes us among other things,
with reference to the CHATELAINE SUPREME as follows:

"It is a faster grower than the old one and holds its flowers longer. I intend growing them."
Dissemination of the CHATELAINE SUPREME will commence on or about March 1st and
orders will be filled strictly in rotation.'

Prices for 2^-in. pot plants, $15.00 per 100, $140.00 per 1000; 250 at 1000 rate.
At the popular price this plant is offered you cannot afford to wait until they get "cheaper."
Order now, it will prove to be a good investment.

Short Seed Crops

Calling recently on S. D. Woodruff &
Sons, 197 Washington St., we found
Frank C. Woodruff at his desk well
tanned and in excellent spirits. The rea-
sons we soon learned ; he had just re-
turned from a vacation which he had
spent hunting in New Brunswick, Can-
ada, and in his quest for game had met
with success. Speaking of seed crops,
Mr. Woodruff said, "Prospects for short
crops in various kinds of seeds predicted
by us in your last interview with us
have been more than fulfilled. There is
no question but that all varieties of
Beans, and some varieties of Peas are I
showing a much shorter crop this year
than last. There is a strong demand for
items such as Carrots, Beets, Radish and
Lettuce, which indicates to us that the
crops of these seeds also are decidedly
on the short side this season. If the
farmers, especially the market garden-
ers were getting a fair price for their
products, we should expect the largest
season ever experienced in seed sales,
but unfortunately, market gardeners are
receiving ridiculously low prices for most
of the crops they are carting to market.
Many of the market gardeners will be
forced to go to their savings of former
years to pay bills which should be met
from the proceeds of this year's crops.
This will have a strong tendency to make
sales to that class, of trade slow till the.
days for seeding actually arrive. This
is an unfortunate condition, which will'
tend to curtail sales of seeds for a time
at least."

World Trip of George Tegelaar of
Drevon-Tegelaar Bros.

Mr. Tegelaar left New York in the
early Spring for Holland in order to
visit the bulb district as well as the ex-
tensive bulb farms of his own firm, Tege-
laar Bros. From there he went to South-
ern France where the firm of Drevon-
Tegelaar & Co. conduct their nursery,

After nearly fifty years of

'going through the mill,'

Fritz Bahr writes a book

Fritz Bahr's
Commercial
Floriculture

A Practical Manual for the Retail Grower

FRITZ BAHR

Highland Park, III.

The author needs no introduction here. His "Week's
Work," which has been appearing every Saturday in the
columns of The Florists Exchange, that well known
National Trade Paper, has long placed him in the front
ranks.of practical men who write in a, practical way. More than
one fellow florist has called him a genius — which he
certainly is, if for no other reason than that he is a philos-
opher who can make his philosophy clear and practical for
others; whose philosophy is based not on what he things,
merely, but on what he knows as a result of nearly half a century's successful experience.

Readers of THE EXCHANGE familiar with Mr. Bahr's thorough grasp of the everyday problems and
possibilities ahead of the Grower, combined with his extensive cultural knowledge, and his mastery of expressing
practice in words so readily understood, will quickly conjure up the wealth of informative material presented.
The book is divided into two parts:

"D,-, rf- is devoted to a general review of the

1 d.1 L L florist business, its opportunities and its
responsibilities. Extensive chapters are devoted to
subjects such as the following:

The Retail Grower and His Business — Indoors
and Outdoors all the Year Around — The Retail
Grower and His Equipment — Practical Opera-
tions in the Growing End of the Business —
Side Line Possibilities for the Retail Grower —
Important Flower Days of the Year — All Kinds
of Plant Materials for the Retail Grower.

T) rf. T T embraces some 300 pages of informa-
-T til L 1-L tion which is truly cyclopedic.

Here all the types of plant, shrub, tree and vine that
the reader is likely to handle, whether he grows them
all or not, are brought to the reader's attention. Wheth-
er it is best to try to grow them; and if so, how; what
they are best suited for; how to make the most of
them; which vareities to use and which to avoid — these
and all other things that every man ought to know,
but that comparatively so few of us do know, are dis-
cussed by Fritz Bahr in his inimitable, unmistakable,
convincing, encouraging style.

The size of the book is 6}ix9}4 in- It is printed in clear, readable type, and more than passing notice should be
given to the illustrations, of which there are nearly 300, the majority of them made from photographs specially selected,
and many of them specially taken for this book. They picture every phase of all sides of the business and the great
majority of its materials in the way they ought to be grown. This remarkable feature includes a helpful, illuminating
typical Fritz Bahr caption for every illustration. The binding „,,,-. no • tJ *

of the book is exceptionally strong and durable. The cover £fift PAGEi>, printed on handsome § J- Q/\

is of waterproof material and this advantage is obvious.

Conifers and the Florist

Not Well Enough Acquainted

As yet, the average florist conducting
a retail business does not fully appreciate
the value of evergreens, or rather coni-
fers. He not only leaves it to the nur-
seryman to grow them on, but the selling
as well. And yet hundreds of thousands
more could be disposed of at a good mar-
gin of profit, at the same time greatly
adding to the attractiveness of the smaller
gardens if the florists of the smaller
cities and towns throughout the country
would interest themselves in them. What
is a landscape effect without conifers?
What could be more attractive during the
long Winter months than a Spruce, Pine,
Cedar or Juniper, or window boxes filled
with such an assortment in small sizes?
It isn't a matter for the retail grower to
make it his business to grow the plants on
from seed or cuttings, or to try to com-
pete with the nurseryman, but to my
mind every florist depending on the local
trade of a town should either have a
show ground or a patch of land set aside for
the display or for carrying a good stock
of conifers from small sizes on up to
specimens, say ranging all the way from
a few inches up to 5ft. or 6ft. He should
know them by their names and push their
sale.

Money in Conifers for the Florist

Right now new business may be picked
up by going after some of your patrons
with window and veranda boxes or vases
which adorned their grounds during the
past Summer. They can soon be filled
with conifers, and as long as you don't
use varieties which are too expensive the
cost wouldn't scare anyone. For those
who don't wish to spend too much, small
Norway Spruce, Arborvitae and Pines will
fill the bill nicely. Your nurseryman will
supply you with good transplanted stock,
ranging from lOin. to 18in. in height. You
will have use for these sizes from now
until after Christmas, and a good way to
handle them is to plant them closely in
a deep frame. Give a good watering, and
just before it freezes scatter some dry
leaves between the plants. They like it.
It will enable you to dig long after the
bare ground is frozen solid. If there
are any left next Spring, plant them out
in a nursery row. Just before the young
growth appears is always the best time.
Keep on each Spring and Fall adding a
few more to what you have, and keep on
talking conifers to your patrons whenever
there is a chance; make the chance in
fact.

Sweet Peas

To Follow Chrysanthemums

If you wish to follow early Chrysan-
themums with Sweet Peas, you can now
sow Winter flowering varieties in 3% in.
pots, say five or six seeds to the pot.
carry them in a cool house, ready to be
benched as soon as the 'Mums are through.
As before stated, for Midwinter flowering,
bench culture is preferred by most grow-
ers, but if you want a heavy early Spring
crop and the finest flowers and the longest
stems, by all means sow directly into solid
beds, any time from now on up to De-
cember, even later. For indoor flowering,
seed can be sown almost any time up to
March; it is just a matter of having the
space to spare; for good Peas always
sell. If you have plants well under way
at this time, be sure they are well thinned
out early. Nothing plays Peas out
quicker than being planted too close.
Each plant should have a chance to branch
out, which they cannot do when crowded.
A plant given plenty of space, and espe-
cially if a Midwinter variety, will not
only bring better flowers and stems, but
produce over a much longer period. For
best results with Peas at any time, don't
crowd.

Calendulas

Sell Well During Winter

If you haven't already a nice lot of
Calendulas under way, either planted out
or in 3's ready to be benched, or planted
in a solid bed, you can either purchase

2in. or 2V&in. stock of a good strain or
you can sow seed. There isn't a florist
who has difficulty in disposing of Calen-
dulas during the Winter months. Not
enough attention is paid to this important
little flower, maybe because it is consid-
ered too common, and yet I don't know
of a greater money maker for the retail
grower, nor a crop requiring less coal.
What other item is there today, which
we have to figure with in running a green-
house, that is of greater importance than
coal ? Cold house crops appeal to us more
than ever, and Calendulas easily lead
the list of them, although not always
considered so by the wholesale grower.
Nor can you mention a crop requiring
less attention in order to obtain good re-
sults, so long as you have a well drained
and well manured soil to start with.

Crops to Consider

The High Price of Coal

You are not able to change prevailing
conditions in the coal market. The way
things look and predicted many mouths
ago in the Week's Work, there will be all
the coal we want, if we have the price
to pay for it. The consumer, as usual,
is going to pay the biggest share of what
the strike has cost. For those who don't
have to maintain a high temperature, it
will pay more than ever to grow on stock
such as Sweet Peas, Snapdragon, Violets,
Pansies, Schizanthus, Forgetmenot, Poly-
anthus, Primroses, English Daisies, Wall-
flower, Stocks, Calendulas, the different
varieties of Primulas, Cinerarias, Calceo-
larias and other things requiring a tem-
perature of 50 deg. or below. No florist
will experience the least trouble to dis-
pose of alj of above named to good ad-
vantage if well grown. Mignonette should
be included among them. Rather than
try to have Roses and other plants re-
quiring a 60 deg. house, get along with
less. Grow plants which will do well in
a 45 deg. house, even if in such they may
not flower as freely during Midwinter.
It will pay every florist to keep a correct
record of what, under existing conditions,
it costs to produce stock. What you
realize retail for your flowers and plants
may only appear good if you don't pay
much attention to what it actually costs
to grow them. This Winter it will be a
hard thing to overcharge.

Primulas

Grow Enough of Them

Have you a good sized stock of Primula
malacoides or some of its improved strains
on hand? Carried in a house just a little
below 50 deg., the plants will furnish
you valuable cut flowers all through the
Winter months. Always bear in mind that
these Primulas want a cool house, even
more so than the Chinese variety; a cool
house, plenty of sunshine and a liberal
sized pot. In too heavily manured soil
the plants are apt to damp off. You can
still take 2in. or 2%in. plants, shift them
into 4's and later into 5 s, and obtain fine
specimens. These, however, won't flower
much before January. How about P. ob-
conica? You also want a good stock of
these. There are so many occasions dur-
ing the first three months of the year to
make good use of the flowers, and often
they will save you Carnations or Roses
in a floral design. P. obconica can stand
55 deg. during Winter; they do better,
however, with 52, and you can carry them
along in 45 if you have to. In this low
temperature they stand still getting ready
for early Spring. They will then be a
mass of bloom around Easter, so dense
you cannot see any of their leaves.

Going After Business

You Have to If You Want It

There are many florists who make more
money out of so-called side lines than
out of what they grow on their benches
under glass. The country florist in par-
ticular finds that there are a lot of things,
the growing of which is better left to the
specialist, and his own time devoted more
to keep on finding an outlet or means to
increase his sales. At the same time he
can pay more attention to so-called side

lines. There will be more homes built
throughout the country during the next
few years than ever before, and it is for
the progressive local florist to get his
share of furnishing at least a good part
of what will be required for laying out
or planting in the grounds surrounding
these homes. Sell shrubs, evergreens,
perennials, seeds, fertilizer; not only that,
go after the business. Don't wait until
it comes to you. Advertise, send out
folders, write letters, use the telephone.
Don't find fault with the large supply
houses sending their salesmen to see you,
and agents trying to sell you every day
something new. Rather follow their ex-
ample and go after business. Everybody
is doing it. If you are a retail grower
there is more money in the retailing than
in the growing, and a bigger field than
there ever was.

Hemerocallis "Florham'

Hemerocallis "Florham"

This variety of the popular Day Lily
has not been generally recognized in the
textbooks, nor widely taken up by the
trade, yet it is, in my opinion, the very
best of all the genus. It is fairly large,
growing 4ft. to 5ft. tall, with large flow-
ers of specially graceful form and pleasing
color. The color is a rich creamy yellow,
a trifle darker than H. flava, which species
is justly popular.

Florham blooms a trifle late, about the
same time as H. Thunbergii or H. fulva.
It is as hardy apparently and as thrifty
as any of its congeners. The whole tribe
of Hemerocallis is noteworthy for its
sturdy habits and general hardiness.

Clumps of Hemerocallis should be di-
vided every three or four years, as other-
wise they choke themselves with too many
crowns. We prefer to make divisions in
late Summer, as soon as they are through
flowering, but the work may be done at
early Spring planting time if that is much
more convenient. The plants will thrive
on almost any soil where stagnant water
does not stand.

Every lover of Day Lilies should give
Florham an early trial.

A Double Pure White Cornflower

Barr & Son, London, recently exhibited
an extra fine pure white form of double
Cornflower, perhaps better known as
Bluetts or Bachelor Buttons. If this
novelty comes true from seed it should
be a useful subject for cutting.

New York Seed Trade — (Continued

from page 984)
the largest in Southern France, and
where the lifting and packing of the
bulbs was superintended by him as well
as Mr. Drevan. At the end of July he
continued his trip by way of India' and
China to Japan where be visited the
leading growers and exporters and there-
fore was in position to select the very
finest Japanese Lilies the season pro-
duced. Mr. Tegelaar found that the crop
in Japan of Lily bulbs was about 60 per
cent of normal and that especially the
large size Lilies were very scarce. His
firm is expecting a large shipment in
very shortly as they are now on the
route between Yokohama and New York.
Mr. Tegelaar arrived in New York on
Oct. 2 and was glad to get back to his
desk at the New York office, 1133 Broad-
way.

S. S. Skidelsky & Co.. 53 Park pi.,
have received their first, lot of Liliuui
giganteum bulbs : the quality they say
appears to be good ; the crop of these
according to reports from Japan is as
a whole short, and in the larger sizes
very short. Prices are higher than last
year, but for all of that this firm re-
ports an active demand for these bulbs.
E. S. Hoehl. one of this firm's travelers,
and one member of the firm, are. if their
plans have not been changed, attending
this week the F. T. D. Convention at
Baltimore, Md.

Carter's Tested Seeds. Inc., 53 Bar-
clay St.. report unusually heavy sales of
grass seeds for golf courses. A well ar-
ranged window display of Dutch and
French bulbs attracts deserved attention
of buyers ; artificial blooms of the several
kinds of bulbs shown help to brighten the
display, as natural bulbous flowers at
this season of the year to use for this
purpose are out. of the question.

Yaughan's Seed Store. 41-43 Barclay
st.. reports a completion of arrivals of
Dutch bulbs, and a full line of these and
of French and California bulbs in their
warehouses. A sharp demand for these
bulbs necessitates a full force and night
work to keep orders filled.

Stumpp & Walter Co.'s Dahlia Show

A more than ordinarily well arranged
window and salesroom display of Dahlia
blooms of the newer and choicer varie-
ties, among these, some meritorious un-
named seedlings in the commodious store
of Stumpp & Walter Co.. 30-32 Barclay
st, is drawing daily, especially at the noon
luncheon hour, many Dahlia lovers.
Further it is evidently adding to
the list of these admirers many who
heretofore have not been particularly
interested in what has come to be the
most popular of all outdoor grown Au-
tumn flowers. The window display, when
we observed it on Oct. 9, which by its
beauty and artistic arrangement induces
passersby to enter the store and view
the larger display within, was arranged
on a rectangular plaque covered with
black cloth which the Dahlia stems
pierced, so that the face only of the
blooms were seen. On this plaque were
shown blooms of Attraction, Judge Ma-
reau. Lady Betty. Mrs. Carl Salbach,
.Mrs. AY. E. Estes. Princess Pat. Shu-
dow's Lavender. Earl Williams. Dr.
Levis, Pierrot. Pride of California. Mil-
lionaire. Insulinde. Mrs. 6. Schciff, and
Red Cross. Above the plaque was an
artistically arranged basket of blooms
of Red Cross, and below it an invitation
to enter the store and see the exhibition
within, also Miss Charles Stout's Book
on Dahlias, lists of varieties, and folders
giving accurate and detailed cultural in-
struction. The window display in the
rear of the salesroom was extremely
fine, both as to arrangement, legible
labels, and excellence and number of va-
rieties. A basket of blooms of Insulinde
surmounted this display.

Chicago Seed Trade

Business in Chicago seed stores the past
week has been remarkably good, due, no
doubt, td the fact that French and Hol-
land bulbs are being displayed in all
the stores.

The Fall trade is opening up especially
good at the Yaughan Seed Store. This
firm has a complete assortment of bulbs
on display. Paperwhite Narcissi are
moving in large quantities across the
counter. A feature during the week was
a special sale of these bulbs planted in
fancy bowls with gravel. They attracted
good sales; prices ranged from 75c. to §1
a bowl, complete.

A Henderson & Co. we found busy
selling bulbs and lawn seed. We noted
particularly a fine lot of Kentia palms in
tubs. Perennial plants are in good de-
mand here.

The M. and M. Seed Store reports good
demand for Dutch bulbs.

Onion sets in this district are in good
demand with prices about the same as
last week.

Reports from Wisconsin state that
there is practically no change in the
White Clover situation. The general
opinion is that the crop will be about
the same as last year. Alsike Clover
seed is a large crop in Ontario, Canada,
while Red is about the average, so runs
the report.

A notice of the first meeting of the
creditors in the matter of the Everette R.
Peacock Co., bankrupt, w-as recently
mailed to all interested parties. The
meeting ivas called for Oct. 10, in the
room of Sidney C. Eastman, referee in
bankruptcy, in the Monadnock Building,
at 11 o'clock a.m.

Philadelphia Seedsmen

The counter trade generally has not
been what it should be this Fall so far,
and last week's spell of warm weather
didn't help matters very much. Not that
anybody is getting a chance to loaf, but
at the same time it isn't anv Spring rush.

The Henry F. Michel] Co., Oct. 10,
11 and 12, were scheduled for a big
Dahlia exhibit. No matter how dull the
season, there is always a crowd on the
sales floor at this establishment.

•J. Otto Thilow will give- a lecture at
Milbrook, N. Y., Oct. 12. This is the
third occasion he has addressed the Mil-
brook Club. Oct. 22 he plans a lecture
tour to Chicago and vicinity.

Shipping is about over for the season
at I. N. Simon & Sons. Starting with
the first of the year a considerable ag-
gregation of orders is due to go South
from this firm.

Cincinnati Seed Trade

Sales of bulbs continued large, the
Dutch stock being disposed of so rapid-
ly that dealers have already been com-
pelled to duplicate orders. Paperwhite
Narcissus and Lilium candidum appear
to be the strongest in demand, the ma-
jority of the sales being made to nearby-
smaller towns. A feature this week was
the large number which were sold to
small town garden clubs which are
specializing in Paperwhite Narcissus and
various varieties of Tulips.

Field seeds were in better demand, es-
specially the Winter turf Oats and choice
grades of Timothy. Sales of Rye and
Barley were large and the sales of Fall
Alfalfa were in greater volume than us-
ual. Less Winter Wheat seed has been
sold this Fall than for many years, the
farmers showing a greater partiality for
Winter turf Oats for seed and pasturage
purposes. Seeds on this market are al-
most back to pre-war prices at the 1913-
14 basis. Farmers' wives this vear had
a disastrous result with their plantings of
Dahlia bulbs, Tuberoses, Asters and Cos-
mos and sales of these seeds and bulbs
have fallen to the minimum this Fall

GRIZZLYBEAR is waterproof.
Being resilient, it stretches just
enough to prevent breaks, tears

Of earth tightly. It eliminates the
need of burlap and is not costly
Here is what one of more than 250
nursery users of GRIZZLYBEAR
writes:

"GRIZZLYBEAR is flic best i
wrapping material for nursery
stock (especially small plants)
that it has ever been our privilege
to use. So much stronger than
other materials. We like to wrap
the roots of plants so that they will
retain the moisture wrapped in

We use it for our balled evergreens
instead of burlap as formerly."

'HE Holly tree illustrated is grow-
ing alongside a small insignificant
house in the foothills of the Blue
Ridge Mountains, South Carolina. Whether
it was a chance seedling or planted there
1 do not know, but from appearances, I
should judge the latter, although there
are but a few miles from this tree, a splen-
did group of twenty or thirty, a natural
group, the plants being nearly as large as
this specimen. If this tree is not an Eng-
lish variety, with its small, very dark
crinkled leaves, it is so nearly like one
that it will readily pass for it. I have
long since forgotten the name. It is a
splendid specimen, the best I have seen in
England or this country. It is in splendid
health and perfect in shape. I should
.judge it to he from 75 to 100 years old.
Many a millionaire would readily give
$1000 for it, probably live times as much.
Speaking of the value of trees to a place,
there is a private estate in South Carolina
•of 5000 acres belonging to a New York mil-
lionaire where there are several avenues
of trees, probably the best outside of Cali-
fornia, and which this millionaire told me
induced him to give $30,000 more for this
estate than he otherwise would have done
if the trees had not been there. The total
<-u»i pf planting these trees 100 years ago
was considerably less than $20.

There are many splendid Hollies through
this sect inn of the country, the color of the
berries varying from creamy white, through
different shades of pink, rose, bright or-
ange, to a very dark red, the latter variety
holding its berries well into April, long
alter all others are gone. Many of the
vai-ii ties are dissimilar to the American
variety opaea. It is my opinion that
many of these varieties of Hollies are from

The Holly, North and South

A Splendid Specimen of English Holly

seeds of plants imported by Michaux 100
to 150 ydars ago, the seeds being distrib
uted by birds.

I met with a nice specimen of the Eng-
lish Holly in an isolated spot on the St.
Johns River, Fla., the seeds probably being
dropped there by some of the tens of thou-
sands of ducks which pass over this section
on their Winter journey from the North
to the South. I sometimes think that
specimen Hollies like these are superior to
the Southern Magnolia. Beautiful clumps
of the native variety, Ilex vomltoria, are
to be found in this section ; it is not hardy
North. I have seen fine specimen Hollies
on Rhode Island and collected and re-
planted young trees 2ft. to 4ft. high ; I have
read of fine specimens at Quincy, Mass..
but have not seen them.

Hollies Not Difficult

Some years ago I saw a planting of the
English Holly on the estate of the late
Senator Aldrich, Providence, R. I., but I
never learned what success they had. There
is a mistaken idea that the Holly is a
difficult tree to transplant; such has not
been my experience. I have planted mauy
in England and this country with as good
success as ordinary shrubs. I never de-
foliate Holly or other shrubs; don't be-
lieve in it. I have seen large specimens
moved with a tree mover as successfully
as other trees. Why the Holly has not
been more generally planted is the lack of
knowledge of this plant on the part of
nurserymen or landscape worker, the
former being as bad as the latter. Some
day people will wake up to the value of
this beautiful tree as a decorative medium.
They seem to do equally as well on one soil
as another; whether it is the hardy red
clays of the mountains, or the poor, loose
sands of Florida. In the latter place, I
have seen the seedlings come up as thick
as hairs on a dog's back.

H. J. CORFIELD.

Ar<ii;K];si'OXOENT is interested in this subject
and is desirous of knowing whether the market
for it as a florists' flower is sufficiently good to
warrant any one planting it for that purpose.

There is no questioning the fact that there is a de-
mand for the partially developed sprays of the Pussy
Willow or "Palm" as it is known to many.

Few plants are more accommodating than the Wil-
low; given Hie right situation it grows most rapidly,

-mill be ning a lair sized tree. Usually, the young

trees are headed back to a foot or so, when planted,
the process being repeated annually so that in time
they become mere stumps with a moss of whippy
growths,

The rank growths are, of course, more suitable for
baskel muling — osiers they are called — and it may be
mentioned that osier growing is a profitable industry;
tin- Dnited States imports not a few, but large quan-
tities are grown in New York State, possibly in other
States also, where water logged land is available.
Many nurserymen and truck farmers find osiers a
i i ■I'ul subject for tying bundles of trees, Celery, etc.

For florists' use one does not, of course, require
such long growths,. but the soil and situation govern
this. On ordinary laud with a tendency to dryness
in Summer, the growths are less vigorous.

The grower' of Willow for florists' use must, of
course, have glass if he wants to force it early. The
process Is simple enough. The dormant shoots are cut
in the Fall m Winter. Given a short rest after foliage

has dropped, the shoots will, when stood in water in
a moderately heated bouse, push forward their buds
many weeks before their normal time in the open.
The season of indoor forced Willow lasts three to four
months, and doubtless if cold stored it could he
bloomed almost at any time. Several other flowering
shrubs, including Forsythia, respond to the same
treatment.

Just how much of this material the markets can
absorb is difficult to say ; if it were produced in such
quantity as to permit its being sold at a price within
reach of everyone, we imagine an enormous demand
could be created. The fact that the buds keep develop-
ing makes it particularly pleasing to the average per-
son.

Just bow many growers handle it is impossible to
say : we know New York draws not a little of its sup-
ply from New Jersey where at least one big nursery
forces out a quantity of Willow and other hard wood
subjects. Where the other cities obtain supplies we
cannot say, but doubtless there are growers all over
who handle this line with success. Any florist grower
can grow and force his own requirements.

As to the variety, S. Caprea is mostly used, but
there are many hybrids of this which may be superior
to the type. Some extra large flowered sprays are
sometimes to be seen ; these are declared to be Japa-
nese, presumably japonica, but likely as not they are
merely seedlings from Caprea. At the New York
Spring Show a fine large form was shown by Win.
Hunt & Co.

The small flowered forms occasionally seen are
probably cut from the wild native species, but con-
sidering the ease with which Caprea may be grown
such small types are not worth considering for forcing.

W.

Garrya elliptica

How is it one never hears of this beautiful shrub?
A native of southern Texas and California, I have
repeatedly looked through southern and western cata-
logs, but have failed to find it mentioned. Some time
ago I met with a man who had spent 15 years in
Texas and professed to know all the local plants but
on my mentioninig this Garrya, he confessed he had
never heard of it.

Sir Herbert Maxwell speaks of a plant growing in
a Scottish garden which measured 63ft. in circum-
ference, the result of 40 years growth, it having at
that time been cut down by frost. I remember some
fine plants of it in England years ago and in colder
sections have seen it growing on walls.

I remember a fine plant of it growing under the
shade of a huge Cedar of Lebanon which afforded
it protection. The leaves are grayish green and ellip-
tical in shape as its name implies. It bears long,
gray catkins after the manner of the Hazel or the
Alder. It is commonly known as the Tassel Tree.
The pollen bearing plant is much more beautiful than
the berry bearing one. It is propagated by seeds and
by cuttings of the half ripened wood. It probably
would not be hardy far outside the limits of the Cot-
ton belt, but it is well worth the attention of southern
growers. H. J. Cokfield.

[The California Nursery Co., Niles, lists this shrub
or tree. In England it is fairly common and it may
be found in most nurserymen's catalogs. It will
normally stand about lOdeg. of frost, more if pro-
tected, but it is hardly likely to thrive anywhere
above Philadelphia save on the West Coast ; it does
well around Oregon, we believe. It is truly a beauti-
ful shrub and being evergreen it merits attention in
all sections where frost is not severe. — En.]

The Exchllllue

Southwestern Nurserymen Approve
Standardization

Interesting discussions were the rule
throughout the joint program of the meet-
ing held by the Texas State Horticultural
Society and the Southwestern Association
of Nurserymen at Dallas, Tex., on Sept.
27 and 28. As noted in an editorial in
the Dallas Morning News of the following
day, two things stood out at .these meet-
ings. The first was the enthusiasm shown
by those present in behalf of trees and
their preservation, and the other was the
'■number of hale and hearty old men who
evidently find a pleasure as well as a live-
lihood in the planting, tending and care
of trees." This is not to say, however,
that the meetings were restricted to old-
er men nor, for the matter of that, to
men alone, of any age. Also, it should be
remarked that while trees, both fruit and
ornamental, were an important subject
of discussion, other plant materials useful
in the beautification of homes and com-
munities came in for their due share of
attention. Of the more important matters
actually accomplished, there should be
mentioned the adoption by the nursery
association of the standards of grading al-
ready adopted by the American Asso-
ciation of Nurserymen. This action was
recommended by a Committee on Stand-
ardization composed of J. F. Foote, Du-
rant, Okla.; W. B. Munson, Denison, Tex.;
and J. M. Ramsey, Austin, Tex.

An interesting resolution offered by
Jim Parker, of Tecumseh, Okla., urged
that for the general good of fruit grow-
ing, the County and State fairs at Ar-
kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and
New Mexico be requested to offer pre-
miums for only such fruits as are known
to be profitable for planting, and for
new varieties; and to omit from their
premium lists such fruits as the Arkan-
sas Black Apple, which, though admirable
for show purposes, is known to be un-
worthy of the attention of practical
growers. In view of the influence that
competitive events can have upon the
fruit growing industry as well as upon
the nursery business in its production of
fruit stocks, this action should have con-
siderable significance if, carried out.

In view of the activities already ex-
hibited by committees of both the Na-
tional and Southern Nurserymen's Asso-
ciations in the endeavor to establish rea-
sonable and satisfactory inspection law-s
for the Southern States, it was recom-
mended by J. R. Mayhew of Waxahachie,
Tex., that the Southwestern Association
abide by the results secured by these
bodies and not attempt to do anything on
its own account.

Dean E. J. Kyle of the A. & M. Col-
lege, Tex., outlined the courses of study
offered by that institution to men desir-
ing training for the nursery profession.
He made the interesting announcement
that this college is the only one in the
world offering a course in Pecan culture.
Furthermore, it is prepared to do land-
scape work with the nurserymen of the
State.

An interesting
James W. Begbie,

paper was read by
Shreveport, La., urg-

ing the closer cooperation of nurserymen
and florists. This will be found else-
where in The Exchange as will the an-
nual address of President John S. Kerr.
The election of officers for the coming
year resulted in the following personnel:
President, G-. F. Verhalen, Scottsville,
Tex.; vice-president, Edward Teas, Hous-
ton. Tex.; secretary -treasurer, T. B.
Foster, Denton; and committeemen, Geo.
Parker, Fayetteville, Ark., and J. F.
Foote, Durant, Okla. It was decided to
hold the 1923 convention, which will be
the sixth annual meeting of the associa-
tion, at Dallas.

Horticultural Progress in Texas

At this writing, no report of the busi-
ness transacted by the 3Sth annual con-
vention of the Texas State Horticultural
Society has been received. In his presi-
dential address. M. Faulkner, of Waco.
Tex., reviewed the history of the society
from its organization in July, 1887. He
quoted from the first report published by
the society (in 1SS9) as follows: "Many
of you have lost sight of the fact that
the advancement of the common cause
means the advancement of your own in-
terests, and thus, thoughtlessly no doubt,
you have neglected in a large degree vour
duties to the State Society. You have
been guilty of throwing the burden of
work for the common cause on the pa-
tient and fortunately strong shoulders of
the few enthusiastic workers." He then
remarked that he regretted to say it, but
he believed that the condition existing in
188!) as just outlined, still anplies in
1022. and urged stronger cooperation and
support of the society in its endeavors to
promote horticulture.

He also quoted from the annual ad-
dress of the president in 18SS, who com-
mented on the newness of the country
and the lack of definite, classified knowl-
edge concerning the kind and amount of
horticultural work which can be done in
Texas. "The people at large." this re-
port read, "need educating as to what to
plant and how to care for it in order to
beautify and render fruitful and pleasant
their homes and to prevent imposition
upon them of worthless stock by unprin-
cipled seedsmen, nurserymen and deal-
ers." Mr. Faulkner then asked how much
real progress had been made in horticul-
tural work along these very lines dur-
ing the past 34 years.

Acknowledging the assistance rendered
by the various horticultural societies in
Northern and Eastern States in the form
of reports, monthly publications, pro-
grams, premium lists and general infor-
mation. President Faulkner stated that
in comparison. Texas, the largest State
of al1. does not nossess a proportionately
powerful horticultural organization. He
urged some arrangement whereby it
should emnloy a well paid secretary to
devote full time to the work of building
it no. He further recommended the an-
pointment of a committee on reorganiza-
tion to report to the new executive com-
mittee, or that the latter be detailed to
investigate and propose a plan of re-
construction. He also suggested a Sum-
mer meeting of the society at which, if
possible, an exhibit of horticultural prod-
ucts should be made.

Atlanta, Ga.

We have now been blessed with rain which
will greatly facilitate Fall shrub planting
now started. . Cedrus deodara and Aucuba
are in heavy demand and as the stock of
these is scarce, it is likely there will not be
enough to go around.

There appears to have been a confidence
game worked on three of Our city florists;
two others becoming suspicious, were saved
any loss. In each case purchases were made
to the amount of $5 and a cheque for $10
given in payment. As it all occurred on a
Saturday p.m. after banking hours, the
amounts being the same and the flowers
being returned on account of false _ address
we feel reasonably sure something is amiss.

The Atlanta Florists and Horticultural
Club held its monthly meeting on Monday,
Oct. 2. Officers were elected for the ensuing
year. Edward A. Wachendorff, who served
as vice-president the past term was made
president. Roland Lyons, vice-president;
S. S. Gibbs, secretary, and J. S. Hulrne,
treasurer.

The work of the last term was discussed
and the results of the newly organized club
were very gratifying. Over thirty new
members have been added since the charter
members started the ball rolling. Severa
inspiring talks were made and it was gener-
ally conceded that a more brotherly feeling
exists than was the case before the organiza-
tion of the club. Irving Graham, the retiring
president, said that the city florists could see
each other often but it was difficult to meet
and get acquainted with the greenhouse boys
who live so far out, and that it afforded him
real pleasure to meet them at the club.

A musical program was arranged, several
vocal and piano numbers being rendered, and
refreshments were served in the form of ice
cream, cake and punch, all of which was
greatly enjoyed. The ice cream was served
in true florist style — in flower pots with a
boutonnier of Globe Amaranth attached — a
token of the "everlasting" goodwill of the
Club. We understand that we are indebted
to Mrs. Lula Anschutz and J. L. Hoffman
for the "surprise" and we take off our hats
to them for the excellent way in which it
was executed.

We understand that Atlanta will have
five representatives at the F. T. D. Conven-
tion including Logan Thompson, Mrs. Lula
Anschutz, Ralph Deans, Miss Carrie Chance
and Fred Jacobs. B. W. S.

The Market

Local wholesalers are literally
praying for a killing frost that will have
the effect of relieving this market of at.
least a portion of the stock of Dahlias,
the presence of which serves to keep down
the prices of all other flowers. They
complain of an inability to sell much of
anything but Dahlias. These flowers
make a big showing for little money and
the retailers are finding all sorts of uses
for them to the exclusion of Roses, Car-
nations, Gladioli and other higher priced
blooms. Asters are off the market so
they do not enter into this problem.

Roses have improved in quality and
are now to be had with much longer
stems. Some exceptionally fine Hoosier
Beauty made its appearance here last
week and it was not very difficult to
move this stock at $15 per 100. There
is plenty of short-stemmed stock of dif-
ferent varieties to be had at very rea-
sonable figures now. Sweetheart Roses
have been boomed lately, being used in
decorative baskets and sold as a leader
to be sent to the sick at the hospitals.

The sale of Chrysanthemums has been
curtailed by the presence of the Dahlias.
Unaka and some good yellows have made
their appearance bringing as high as
$4 per doz. with $3 per dozj the average
price for good quality stock. The sup-
ply will be augmented during the coming
week by a number of good varieties which
are just coming into bloom and which
are considered to be of fine quality by
those who have viewed the plants.

Lily of the Valley is more plentiful
than it has been for some time and there
is more of it than is called for. The top
price is about $8 per 100, although a few
sales of selected sprays were made on the
basis of $10 per 100. There are plenty of
good Cattleya orchids to be had now at
$1, with a few specials bringing $1.50
each. However, the wholesalers point
out that there is no demand for higher
priced flowers — it requires good snappy
Fall weather to force the sale of flowers
for personal adornment. This is specially
true of Violets; some good local singles,
Princess of Wales and Governor Herrick,
have made their appearance. They are

selling at $1 per 100, but are not moving
as fast as is desired by the glowers and
wholesalers. The Winter crop of Sweet
Peas is also coming in at this time. The
flowers are good for this time of the year
but they do not bring much. Orders can
be placed at $1 per 100.

Carnations are in a little better shape
now and some fairly good stock is to be
had. Enchantress and Ward sold well
last week at $3 per 100, while a few
Laddie sold at $6. However, there are
plenty of short-stemmed Carnations ot-
tered at $1 and $1.50 per 100. New stock
Snapdiagon in all colors can be had at
50c. per bunch, with extra quality stock
selling at $6 per 100.

Some Gladioli are coming in from New
England, the local stock being past, but
there is not much call for this flower.
The stock will be available for a month
or so more and the demand will prob-
ably improve when the Dahlias drop off
a little. Present prices range from $i
to $6 per 100.

There is some speculation whether the
demand for Chrysanthemums for person-
al adornment will improve this year
over the last couple of years. Some years
ago this was a most popular flower dur-
ing the football season, as it was pos-
sible to secure blooms in keeping with
the local college and school colors. On
Saturday afternoons, up until the Sat-
urday following Thanksgiving Day, the
stores would do a thriving business sell-
ing blooms at 50c. to $1 each. In those
days it was a pretty good price, for good
quality stock could be had at from $2
to $3 per doz. 'Hums for this pur-
pose were later discarded because they
became luxuries through the rising cost
of clothing and their tendency to soil
articles of wearing apparel. However,
it is largely a question of fashion, this
wearing of flowers, and it may be that
some scheme may be devised whereby
the old way of things will return, if not
this season, then the next. The com-
ment is that it is up to the local florists
to make this fashion a vogue again.

The Botanical Gardens

Expansion of the Botanical Gar-
den grounds is essential if the gardens
are ever to be worthy of a national repu-

tation, declared P. L. Ricker, of the
Botanical Division of the Department of
Agriculture, in an address last week be-
fore the Botanical Society of Washing-
ton. The present grounds cover only 15
acres, on which sufficient representation
to the more than 300 plant families now
in the gardens, could not be given.

Mr. Ricker declared that in South
America there are few, if any, botanical
gardens that do not'eover at least 1000
acres, while in this country there are
very few that do not coyer at least 60
acres.

N. G. Teodoro, a Filipino, who has
been studying botany in this country,
also addressed the meeting, giving an out-
line of the work of the old Spanish friars
and a review of the botanic literature in
the Philippines.

The business of the meeting consisted
of the election of officers who, for the
ensuing year, will be as follows : Dr.
L. C. Corbett, president ; Dr. H. L.
Shantz, vice-president : Dr. W. W. Gil-
bert, treasurer ; Roy G. Pierce, recording
secretary, and R. Kent Beattie. corre-
sponding secretary. Dr. W. A. Safford,
the retiring president, was elected to rep-
resent the society in the Washington
Academy of Sciences.

The Dahlia Show

Washington has seen its first
Dahlia show on a fairly large scale. The
entry list was large and there was a
great deal of enthusiasm all around.
Held Oct. 2 and 3, at the Gavel Club.
Thirteenth St.. X., the headquarters of
the Florists Club, which sponsored the
show. President O. A. C. Oehmler, Z. D.
Blaekistone and William F. Gude, who
were in charge, were well repaid for their
efforts.

Much interest was shown by those
wlio attended the exhibition, and the com-
mercial growers were surprised at the
knowledge the visitors had of Dahlias
and their culture. Amateurs talked
knowingly of technical subjects, and
showed they were familiar with the
names of the varieties exhibited.

Mount Airy Gardens took seven firsts
and one second prize with eight ex-
hibits. Harry Ley was awarded a large
number of prizes. Mr. Ley is a Dahlia

The Florists Exchange

expert and supplies the local market "with
large stocks of Al flowers. His Patrick
O'Mara attracted a great deal of atten-
tion. Mr. Kesecker's exhibit of George
Walters was also favorably commented
upon.

The hall was attractively decorated
with Oak foliage and palms and while
the show was not so large as some of
those held in other cities, it was gener-
ally declared that this first effort was a
good one.

Several of the local retailers staged
exhibits, showing what can be done with
Dahlias in makeup work. 0. A. C.
Oehmler had a shower bouquet of white
Dahlias emphasizing the use in wedding
work. Z. D. Blaekistone had a basket.
The large basket exhibited by George C.
Shaffer was a work of art with the Dahl-
ias, all of one color but shading off in
tone and interspersed with grasses. Gude
Bros, showed a large basket w;ith Dahl-
ias in all colors and there were added
small baskets of Sweetheart Roses.

Following the conclusion of the show
the Dahlias, with the addition of a large
quantity of fresh blooms donated by the
growers, were taken to Walter Reed Gen-
eral Hospital where they were much ap-
preciated by the sick soldiers.

John M. Root's exhibit at the show
attracted a great deal of attention. He
brought from his place at Collingswood,
N.. J., the yellow Hybrid Cactus unnamed
seedling, which took first prize at the
show of the Pennsylvania Horticultural
Society at Bryn Mawr. It is understood
that this Dahlia will be named for Mrs.
Root. He also exhibited a scarlet Dahlia
named in honor of Henry F. Michell,
and to be disseminated in 1923.

Garden Club of America Convention

Plans are under way for - the con-
vention of the Garden Club of America
which is to be held in this city Oct. 23
to 26. This date has been set in order
that the 250 members who are expected
to come here for the convention, may
have an opportunity to view the exhibits
of the United Staf.es Department of
Agriculture which will be staged at that
time. A study will also be made of the
park system here. The sessions of the
Garden Club will be held in the auditori-
ums of the American Red Cross Build-
ing and the United States National Mu-
seum. Officials of the Fine Arts Commis-
sion and of the Department of Agricul-
ture and the Smithsonian Institution are
much interested in the proposed meeting
and are providing an attractive program.
A number of automobile tours in the
nearby States of Maryland and Virginia
have been planned under the direction
of Charles Moore and Dr. Paul Bartsch.
These two, with Mrs. Fairfax Harrison,
Mrs. Edward H. Bouton, J. H. Small
and Benn A. Harlan are members of the
Washington committee.

Practically all branches of horticul-
tural work are within the scope of the
club's activities. There is the wild
flower committee which interests itself
in the National parks and seeks to pro-
mote the preservation of our native
plants; the plant committee is a clearing
house for the smaller horticultural so-
cieties; the trades relations committee
takes up the questions of mutual interest
to the buying members of the club and
the nurserymen; the historic gardens com-
mittee is engaged in accumulating data
about the old gardens of the United
States which is to be published in book
form; the visiting gardens committee is
bringing about connections in Europe
which, it is hoped, will open the well
known gardens of England, France and
Italy to its membership.

The delegates will view Mrs. Charles
Walcott's collection of wild flower paint-
ings. In the last few years' the club has
assembled a valuable collection of more
than a thousand slides of great educa-
tional interest, showing architectural de-
signs and garden ornaments, borders, en-
trances, flower groups, foreign gardens,
formal gardens, gardens in relation to the
house, gateways and arbors, informal gar-
dens, rock gardens, trees and shrubs,
use of water and wild flowers.

This organization was founded in 1913
by a group of garden clubs from Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and some of the west-
ern cities, including Detroit and Chicago,
with the object of stimulating interest all
over the country in gardening as a fine
art. Its membership now includes 57
clubs located in all parts of the United
States, as well as a number of men and

women who are interested in gardening,
but wdio do not belong to any local club.
Two meetings are held each year-at which
the aims of the organization are appro-
priately illustrated.

Visitors

Local florists entertained many of
their fellow business men from other see-
. tions of the country, while attending the
convention of the Florists Telegraph De-
livery Association at Baltimore.

A large number of out of town florists
made the 40 mile trip from Baltimore to
visit the various points of interest in this
city, among those registering at Gude
Bros. Co. being Albert Sylvester, Mrs.
Sylvester and Helen Wick, assistant sec-
retary of the Florists Telegraph Delivery
Service, all of Detroit, Mich.; Helen F.
Patten, Mr. and Mrs. Frank M. Schramm,
Miss G. Emery and Miss Helen Patten
Rehan, all of Toledo, 0.; Mr. and Mrs.
John S. Giles, Reading, Pa.; Mr. and
Mrs. N. L. Stuart, Bohannon Floral Co.,
Chicago; F. George Dicks of Dicks Flow-
er Shop, London, Can.; Edith W. Harries
and Mrs. D. S. Barber, Toronto, Can.;
Mary Young of The Rosery, and Jessie
Corcoran, Brantford, Can.; May Barron
and Ella O. Ashley, Sarnia, Ont., and
J. A. Neal, Toronto, Can.

Baltimore, Md.

Florist Club Meets

More than 150 members of the Florists
Club of Baltimore were present Oct. 9
at the Royal Arcanum Hall for the regu-
lar business meeting of the association.
The annual election of officers was held
and plans for the Fall and Winter ' dis-
cussed. The officers for the coming year
are: Robert W. Johnson, president; Wil-
liam Bauer, vice-president; Albert G.
Fiedler, treasurer; Robert T. Patterson,
secretary; C. H. Wagner, financial sec-
retary,- and C. M. Wagner, librarian.

Several members of the Florists Tele-
graph Delivery Association, which is
holding its tenth annual convention at
the Hotel Emerson, attended. Refresh-
ments were served at the. close . of the
meeting.

National Rose Society

Great Fall Show in London

The Fall exhibition of the N. R. S.
held on Sept. 21, was more in keeping
with a mid-Summer show. The R. H. S.
Hall was literally crowded with exhibits,
and the quality of the flowers and fierce-
ness of the competition indicated that be
the weather bad or good, and trade none
too brisk, English Rose growers never
lose heart when it comes to Rose shows.
In the big specimen bloom class, Alex
Dickson & Sons of Ireland beat six other
competitors, but with decorative Roses
20ft.x6ft., Elisha Hicks of Turyford de-
finitely proved that he is the champion
with this class of Rose; wherever he has
exhibited this year he has scored. It's
a hot class when eleven firms fight for po-
sition with a group of this kind. We
hope to see the day when American outdoor
Rose specialists will put up such a dis-
play.

Six firms competed with a group 10ft.
xlft. Geo. Prince of Oxford leading.
With a small group of decorative Roses,
this grower is au fait and with the pure
Tea Roses, he is without a rival.

The table decorations, too, brought out
a host of competitors: Mrs. Bide of Bide
& Sons, one of the largest nurseries in
England, leading. Mrs. Bide makes a
hobby of competing in table classes, and
no show of any importance finds her ab-
sent. True, she gets defeated sometimes,
but most times she is well in the lead.

About 20 novelties were shown; one
Florence L. Izzard, a yellow, gained the
G. M. Six others gained certificates.

Needless to state, the attendance was
terrific; with a N. R. S. membership of
9000 and a R. H. S. list of 15,000, people
had to hustle if many desired to get
into the hall during the six hours the show
was open.

Week at the Capital

By CLARENCE L. LINZ

Incorporations

Beacon Florist Co., Boston, Mass., was
recently incorporated with a capital of
$10,000. The incorporators are Israel
Mirsky and Bernard Mirsky of Boston,
and John Eisemann of Belmont.

Departmental Appropriation

The distribution of about $750,000,000
anticipated receipts during the fiscal
year 1023-24, among four departments of
the Government, is now being made ten-
tatively by the House Appropriations
Committee. Something- over $1,250,000,-
000 will he left for later apportionment.
•This work is being done to facilitate ac-
tion by the House on the great supply
bills of the Government during the Win-
ter session of Congress, which will come
to an end by Constitutional requirement
March 4 next.

Departments of Government selected
for this forehanded work are the War,
Navy, Treasury and Commerce. Chair-
man Madden and his committee col-
leagues decided to make their start on
these supply bills, because it is not ex-
pected that Congress will legislate at the
Winter session affecting either of them,
leaving_their financial needs known and
certain for the coming year. Distribu-
tion to each of them is being left open
for consideration, item by item, by the
committee in charge when it shall re-
sume session Nov. 10 in advance of the
meeting of Congress.

It has been decided by Administration
and Congressional leaders that there shall
be no expansion of Government activi-
ties demanding- large expenditures of
funds during the next fiscal year. It is
claimed that the financial condition of
the National Treasury will not justify
any expansion. Recommendations of
President Harding for the exercise of the
most rigid economies will be carried out
by Congress.

The Treasury and Commerce Depart-
ments present no coin plicated demands to
be financed during the next fiscal year.
The Treasury has its fixed needs which
must be taken care of adequately, while
the expansion sought by the Department
ofi-Commerce could be authorized by Con-
gress without entailing a considerable
drain on the national purse. . For the
most part the Department of Commerce
is asking additional money to enable it
to promote both domestic and foreign
trade, and with this object the Congress
is in complete accord. The only question
raised is to what extend money should
be given for the purpose in view of the
lack of funds.

Congress leaders have decided that for
the next year, Government expenditures
shall be held around the $2,0(10.000.000
mark. Of this sum more than $1,000,-
000,000 will be needed to pay the inter-
est on the public debt, leaving about
$1,000,000,000 with which to run the
Government. Before the World War,
Congress had readied the $1,000,000,000
a year limit in expenditures for Govern-
ment, and the drive is on by the adminis-
tration to get back to pre-war expendi-
tures. With this thought in mind the
Congress adjusted taxes. It is expected
to derive from the income and internal
taxes something over $1,000,000,000,
from the tariff customs duties about
$500,000,000. and the other $500,000,000
must be made up from miscellaneous re-
ceipts by the Government and from the
forced sale of surplus war stocks and war
properties.

President Harding is expected before
the end of the present month to announce
whether he will convene Congress in ex-
traordinary session Nov. 15 to begin its
Winter work. Some time ago, the Presi-
dent indicated he might take such a step
to insure consideration of his proposed
legislation for the granting of a subsidy
to the American merchant marine.

Freight Movement

A total of 973,291 cars were loaded
with revenue freight during the week
ended Sept. 23, according to reports re-
ceived from the carriers by the American
Railway Association. This was an in-
crease of 27.372 cars over the previous
week, and of 99,650 ears over the corre-
sponding week last year. This represents
the heaviest loading since the week of
Oct. 29. 1920.

Loading of merchandise and miscel-
laneous freight, which includes manufac-
tured products, totaled 579.009 cars,
which was an increase of 11,202 cars
over the previous week and an increase

of 44.9S9 ears over the corresponding-
week last year.

Express Rates

The Interstate Commerce Commission
has postponed until Nov. 20 the investi-
gation of express rates which was to be
started on Oct. 30. General hearings
will be conducted by the commission on
the subject of the rates, with a view to
determining whether or not it would be
advisable at this time for the commission
to authorize a general reduction in ex-
press rates all over the country. Ship-
pers have brought attention to "the fact
that freight rates were reduced consider-
ably last July and that conditions in the
express service warrant a similar reduc-
tion there. Whether or not the commis-
sion will reduce the rates in the face of
recent strikes, higher maintenance costs,
etc., is problematical.

Common Labor Shortage

The most encouraging sign of in-
creased employment and prosperity is a
threatened common labor shortage in all
parts of the country, according to a
monthly review of the labor situation
throughout the United States just issued
by the United States Employment Serv-
ice. From all indications, it is declared,
the elimination of transportation and
fuel difficulties will speed production and
employment to a higher degree than has
obtained since the war. Returns from
05 large cities show that in 4S employ-
ment has increased during the month. A
total of 1428 concerns were surveyed by
special agents of the service, and it was
found that 28,668 more employees were
carried on the payrolls on Sept. 30 than
on Aug. 31.

Can You Beat It?

All promoters of floral exhibitions look
forward to a patronage of large dimen-
sions, and if the attendance . is unexpect-
edly heavy the world at large usually
hears about it.

From an English contemporary, how-
ever, we learn of a flower show which set
a record in a reverse direction. Near
Nottingham, an exhibition was held, and
it so happened that it rained incessantly.
Not a visitor turned up and not a penny
was taken at the gate.

We have only heard of one exhibition
that fared worse, that of the York Gala,
England. Some few years ago this great
show was struck by a storm which leveled
the great marquee to the ground, smother-
ing exhibits worth many thousands of
dollars.

The Story of a Goldfish

From a news clipping we gather an
entertaining story of a goldfish which
forms part of the stock in trade at Cal-
las tlie Florist's fine shop at Journal
Square. Jersey City. Seized with a de-
sire to explore tin* fish hurled himself out
of the aquarium, which is a feature in
the shop window, one evening, and lauded
on the dry tile floor. Needless to state,
the wondering fish quickly realized that
the dryness due to the 18th amendment,
is as nothing compared to the floor of a
florist's window, but having landed there,
it was beyond his powers to get back to
his natural home. Moreover, his pow-
ers of locomotion were not equal to the
extensive ramble down to the river. He
therefore had to lie. more or less, where
he fell and just gasp for breath. True,
he did make a gallant effort to land on
the sidewalk, but the plate glass checked
further progress and he perforce had to
remain a prisoner. A passing policeman
observed his antics during the night but
when the store was opened at 7.30 next
morning, lie was. to all appearances, be
yond recall. His owner, therefore, gath-
ered him nil with the intention of con-
signing his remains to the dump, when a
flip of the fish's tail prompted his res-
cuer to drop him quickly into the aqua-
rium.

According to Mr. Callas the fish is
none the worse for his many hours out
of water ; indeed, he believes that the
wanderer has recounted his experiences
to his companions as a warning against
the aridity of the U. S. A. under present
conditions.

The Florists Exchange

York, Pa.

The first flower show of the Garden Club
was held here recently and proved most
successful, several hundred entries having
been made, and a great stream of visitors
being in attendance.

Among the florists who assisted the club
in decorating and arranging the flowers, and
who made exhibits of their own, were:
Augustus Schaefer and C. F. Smith & Son,
of York, and H. J. Mueller of Abbottstown.
Quite a number of contributions of prizes
were received from trade sources, and the
exhibit was so successful that the Club has
decided to hold flower shows semi-annually,
one in the early Summer and one in the Fall.

Pittsburgh, Pa.

Trade Notes

The Pittsburgh district was visit-
ed with a rain on Saturday and Sunday
that ended a 25 days' dry spell and it
certainly was needed, as everything *vas
pretty well dried up. The w<:ather last
week was very warm, in fiet, loo warm
for so lat- in the season and stock has
been showing the effects of it.

The demand has been good and prac-
tically all first class stock cleaned up at
seasonable prices. American Beauty
Roses are beginning to come and the
quality is improving daily. Roses are
in good supply and the majority are of
fine quality. Quotations run anywhere
from $3 to $15 per 100, according to
length and variety. 'Mums are more
plentiful and are moving nicely at $2,
$3 and $1 per dozen.

Carnations are in demand; most of
them are still short stemmed, but the
flowers are very good. Dahlias are still
in demand and are having one of their
best seasons in this section as more are
being sold this season than ever before.

Asters and Gladioli are a thing of the
past and most everyone is glad of it, as it
has been a long season for these two
Orchids are more plentiful and are mov-
ing nicely. The same can be said of Val-
ley. Delphinium and Gaillardia are re-
ceived in small quantities and clean up
on sight.

News Notes

The McCallum Co. is fast recover-
ing from the effects of the fire. They
have a new location for their factory and
warehouse, and new stock is arriving on
every train. They have started filling sup-
ply orders with the exception of baskets
from the new location.

Several Pittsburgh florists are attend-
ing the F. T. D. convention at Baltimore
this week. E; C. Tipton.

Lancaster, Pa.

Retail

Oct. 7. — When a committee has
nothing to report it reports progress ;
this is my report for the week's progress
all along the line.

Growers

The extreme heat has checked
quality somewhat, but the cut from the
houses is coming in just a little heavier
each week ; Carnations. Roses and 'Mums
will be covering up the shortage of flow-
ers that was in evidence the past few
weeks. A slight drizzle this afternoon
after some seven weeks of dry hot
weather has brought the temperature
back to the proper point and the over-
cast sky fills us with hope for some real
rain in the next 24 hours. This is not
so important to the average florist as his
stock is mostly inside now but the man
who has to depend on well water is in
some cases hauling it by wagon or truck ;
there are few wells that are producing
their regular supply of water, so that a
real rain before freezing weather, means
the removal of a worry that looms up
almost as big as the coal question.

The Trip to White Marsh, Md.

Thursday. Oct. 5. about fifteen
machines, hauling some fifty people, made
the run from Lancaster to White Marsh.
Md. Florists represented were : Mr. and
Mrs. A. K. Rohrer, Mr. and Mrs. Lemon
Landis, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Landis. Mr.
and Mrs. Albert M. Herr, Mr. and Mrs.
Elmer Weaver, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Spin-
ner. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Smalhvood,
Mr. and Mrs. Emanuel Shreiner, Mr. and
Mrs. A. F. Strickler. Mr. and Mrs. J.

Rutter Hess. Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Campbell.
Harry K. Rohrer. Chas. B. Herr. Fred
Ruof. and Mr. Geo. B. Wilson. The day
was ideal barring a rather high tempera-
ture and the run down and back was
made without any mishaps.

The show was better than ever ; the
individual flowers were really remark-
able, considering the long spell of hot,
dry weather. If it were not for the fact
that their flowers show such wonderful
skill in culture. I would say the Vincent
boys have missed their calling as I do
not believe there is a retailer in the
United States who could put up a better
arranged show from an artistic point of
view. That it is appreciated is shown by
the fact that each year finds a bigger
crowd of spectators than the preceding
one. When the Governor of Maryland
and State and county officials all turn
out to see the show and to greet the Vin-
cents, it goes without saying that it is
a State attraction. To our Lancaster
crowd to meet and shake hands with
Richard Vinceut, Jr., each year is the
most pleasurable part of the trip and we
hope to have this pleasure for many
years to come.

In the greenhouses we found the acres
of Geraniums in fine shape from the
stock plants to the finished pot plants
ready for sale and the same applied to
the great variety of bedding stock they
handle. Ferns and palms occupy about
one-half of the glass area and from a
professional point of view, they are
craekerjacks. I'll predict that the F. T.
D. crowd will open their eyes when they
look over these houses.

Outdoors you see acres and acres of
Cannas and Dahlias whichever way you
look; one of our party insisted that there
were at least 500 acres of Dahlias and
10.000 varieties. The wonder of it all
was the fact that they were producing
good flowers under the most adverse
weather conditions. One patch, some 10
acres of Patrick O'Mara, was especially
fine.

The acre devoted to novelties, called
the trial grounds, came in for an un-
usual share of exclamation points from
the ladies ; it would take all the superla-
tive adjectives in the dictionary to prop-
erly describe them. The yellow variety,
Merritt, however, stood head and shoulders
over them all, scaling 96 points in the
field test, and bids fair to became one of
the standards in the next few years.
There were plenty of other good ones in
this acre, but I suppose the F. T. D.
visitors will sift these out much better
than I can. Albert M. Herr.

Auburn, N. Y.

Considering that August weather still
prevails, the increase in the demand for
flowers and plants is encouraging. Early
'Mums find ready sale and Carnations
and Roses are in demand now that Asters
and Gladioli are no longer a factor.
Dahlias in this locality are not gener-
ally grown and, for the most part other
outdoor flowers are through for the sea-
son. W. B.

Elmira, N. Y.

Trade Good

There has been a good demand for
cut flowers the past week, as wedding and
funerals were quite numerous. 'Mums
do not seem to be very plentiful yet, one
hardljr sees them in the retailers show
windows.

So far, we only had a very slight frost,
but it won't be long before we have to
tackle the coal pile again. According to
the coal dealer's report, the coal will be
higher than last season.

The Wanderer's Return

The writer's son, Fred A. Klebert,
has returned home after an absence of
three months. He hiked his way from El-
mira to San Francisco, Cal., stopping at
Chicago, Salt Lake City and Denver.
After leaving 'Frisco, he went to Santa
Barbara, Los Angeles and returned home
through New Mexico, Texas and Okla-
homa. Space does not permit detailing
his many experiences, but he is satisfied
that he has seen most of the United
States.

Casper Russell, well known in this vi-
cinity, and at present employed by Mr.
Andre of Doylestown, Pa., recently gave

his home town a call, remaining here for
a few days.

F. Durand's Flower Shop is looking
spick and span, as he has recently used
the paint brush freely.

Mrs. C. Jackson is also busy renovating
her store in readiness for the coming
season. R. K.

Buffalo, N. Y.

Trade Doings

Stock has been very plentiful the
past few weeks. Carnations are abundant.
Chrysanthemums are very beautiful in yel-
low. Garden flowers are at their finish; a
few pink Snapdragons, Marigolds, Cosmos,
etc. remain. Gladioli are over. Roses and
Lily of the Vallev are abundant. No Violets
yet.

Boston ferns are specially fine this year,
a few Crotons and Begonias are coming, but
it is a little early for 'Mum plants.

News Notes

Wm. Mark Palmer has left for the
F. T. D. Convention in Baltimore. He being
a very active member, and on the advertising
staff, will take great interest in the meeting.

Edmund S. Slattery, manager of Palmer's
Main st. store, has just become a proud
grandfather of Miss Patricia Harrington.
Hope she'll grow up to be like her grandpa.
Congratulations.

Frank Martini of Palmer's has just re-
turned from a two weeks vacation.

Miss Ruth . Barry, who has been with
W. J. Palmer's seven years, opened a flower
shop last Monday, Oct. 2. She received
many beautiful gifts from Palmer's, Wm.
H. Greier, Jerry Brookins, and Kasting Co.
The gifts made a beautiful display and were
much appreciated. Her old friends at Main
and Delaware stores, presented her with a
wonderful wrist watch. This she not only
prizes, but it gives her something to remem-
ber them by.

S. S. Pennock's salesman, Mr. Greenlaw
visited Buffalo florists this week, securing
many Fall orders. Business livening up, will
allowr many of us to welcome the old salesman
again for another big Winter season.

The Sewickley (Pa.) Dahlia Show

A Great Success

All the early predictions were fulfilled.
The Second Annual Sewickley Dahlia
Show, held Sept. 27 to 29, under the aus-
pices of the Garden Club of Allegheny
County and the Sewickley Horticultural
Society, was a pronounced success, both
from an esthetic and financial point of
viewr, exceeding the expectations of the
most sanguine. It is claimed by those
who wrere able to take the time to visit
the A. D. S. exhibition in New York and
get back to Sewickley before the local
show closed, that while the national so-
ciety's show was larger in scope, it had
nothing on the Sewickley show in quality
of blooms and artistic arrangement.

Though but a small country town,
known only to the horticultural world as
a community of palatial residences, over
3000 people visited the show.

That it pays to advertise was never bet-
ter demonstrated. From 3 to 6 p.m. on
the opening day $1 was charged for ad-
mission, and 172 paid admissions were
taken in the three hours. From 6 to 10
p.m., and during the balance of the showr,
25c. was charged for admission, and at
closing time on the first day over 1300
people paid for admission.

The cooperation of the local daily
papers was a most encouraging feature of
the publicity campaign, and few people
who have the morning paper on the break-
fast table failed to get the Dahlia show
served as an extra. Slides of Cut Dahlias
were made and thrown over the screens
of the moving picture houses in several
towns. The trolley ears passing through
neighboring towns all carried big posters
featuring the show. Store windows, both
in Sewickley and Pittsburgh were deco-
rated with vases of Dahlias, and cards
announcing the dates of the show. This
proved one of the outstanding features of
the publicity program,, and no doubt
caused hundreds to visit the show, who
otherwise would have contented them-
selves reading about it.

The judges' task was not an easy one.
Messrs. Brydon, Brown, Francis and
Fisher, all of Cleveland, Ohio, who offi-
ciated as judges, had a stiff time. Com-
petition was keen for the honors, and be
it said to the credit of these gentlemen,
that not a dissenting voice was heard
against their decisions.

The groups of 100 sq. ft. staged for'
effect were superb.

Mrs. Wm. Penn Snyder (M. Thomson
Jr., gdr.) arranged a mirror on the floor
to represent a pool with swans, and
flanked at each corner with images filled
with Dahlias. Mrs. E. M. Home (II
Curran, gdr.) arranged a fountain effect
in which Judge Marean varieties of
Dahlias predominated. This group not
only carried off first place in its class, but
also the H. L. Mason cup for the most
meritorious exhibit in the show.

In the center of the hall was a large
group of ferns and tropical plants from
the Parkes Estate of Pittsburgh, which
served as an excellent foil for the Dahlias
Beyond this was the 100ft. group of W
W. Willock (R. Boxel, gdr.) composed
of Dahlias grown in tubs and pots
Although somewhat shy of flowers, it was
nevertheless a creditable undertaking
Another and the last of the groups in this
class was that of Mrs. Henry Rea, presi-
dent of the Garden Club of Allegheny
County (Alex. Davidson, supt.).

Around the stage and along the foot-
lights were the large specimen vases and
baskets, arranged with any accessories for
effect. Along the back of the stage the
classes for the small vegetable, annuals,
fruits, etc., were accommodated, while'
the center of the stage was given up to
tables for table decorations, which were
done on the opening day by the amateurs
the second day by the Pittsburgh florists,
and on the closing day by the gardeners.
Space will not permit giving the list of
awards; snffice to say each winner de-
served what he got.

Among the contributors at this most
interesting and well contested amateur
show were the following: Beckert's Seed
Store, Pittsburgh, Pa.; C. H. Totty,
Madison, N. J.; W. H. Hunt Co., Neiv
York City; Hosea Waterer, Philadelphia,
Pa.; W. E. Marshall, New York City;
Carter's Tested Seeds, New York and
Boston; H. A. Dreer, Philadelphia;
Stumpp & Walter Co., New York; E.
and J. Farquhar & Co., Boston; Gass &
Grabert, Pittsburgh, Pa.; John Scheep-
ers, New York.

In trade lines, the Mrs. Williams
Flower Shop, the Weakland Flower Shop,
A. W. Smith Co., and McClements staged
table decorations on the second day. These
were non-competitive.

Of the Sewickley Dahlia Show it can
be said that it furnished a shining ex-
ample of teamwork and division of la-
bor in the carrying out of the arrange-
ments. The claim is further made that
it would take a long search to find an-
other town in the whole Union of the size
of Sewickley that could duplicate it. The
advertising and publicity secured was
considerable indeed, and perhaps it may
not be amiss to credit Henry Gibson, sec-
retary of the Association, for the consid-
erable measure of success achieved.

Trade Notes

The amount of wedding decorations
and banquet decorations done by the To-
ronto florists may be gauged by the fact
that for the first nine months of this
year, the city clerk has issued 5483 mar-
riage licenses. In September 637 licenses
were issued.

Fred Miller Reeve of York County, and
president of Miller Florists. Ltd., has
been elected honorary president of the
newly formed St. Clair Horticultural So-
ciety, Toronto.

Robert Greenlaw of S. S. Pennock Co.,
Philadelphia, Pa., has been calling on the
trade in Toronto.

Mr. and Mrs. Chas. H. Plumb of De-
troit, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs.
Plumb, Jr., were visitors to Toronto on
October 4 on their return home from a
trip to Europe.

A special car carried the following to
Baltimore from Toronto: Mrs. Moore,
Mrs. Waters, Mrs. Harries, Mrs. Barber,
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Adams, J. A. Neal,
L. Waters, Chas. Cooper, G. M. Geraghty,
J. J. Higgins of Toronto; Miss Barron

Retail Florists Meet

The October meeting of the To-
ronto Retail Florists Club was held on

S. A. McFadden in the chair. There was
a large attendance.

The elections resulted as follows:

and F. Dean. S. A. McFadden and H.
G. Dillemuth, ex-presidents, are also di-
' rectors.

On being called to take the chair, Mr.
i Geraghty paid a tribute to the work of
! the retiring president during the past
I two years. The duties of president took
; a great deal of time and he required the
i cooperation of the whole membership.
I The Toronto Club was an untodate one,
, noted for good fellowship and coopera-
- tion.

S. A. Frost thanked the members for
i his election and said he was there to
i work for the interests of all. He proved
! this announcing three new members, John
: McAdams, Abernethy James and Miss
! Mamie Wilson. A tribute was paid
: Harry W. James, who said President
j Geraghty was the best secretary on the
| continent. L. Waters, when called upon,
i said he would do his best to make the
i members pay their dues on time as us-
ual.

A hearty vote of thanks was tendered
S. A. McFadden for a successful two
I years' tenure of office.

H. G. Dillemuth will lead a discus-

I sion on the F. T. D. Baltimore meeting

at the Nov. 13 meeting. He will take up

life membership is $25.

A Joke

Two florist friends were staying at
a certain hotel when one observed what
an inappropriate name the hotel bore.
As while called the "Palms," there was
an absence of palms and all other kinds
of plants. Said his friend with; a
chuckle: "Joe, there is a pleasant sur-
prise in store when we leave; it is then
the waiters show their palms."

News Notes

Brooks Holmes is back again with
Miss Cairns after a try at farming. He
says that it is fine on the farm, but
rather quiet after being so long in a
busy florist store. I understand Mr.
Holmes has an interest in the undertak-
ing; he is a fine fellow and having been
so long under the tuition of Miss Cairns
is a great asset to that firm.

Geo. Reed, who has purchased the re-
tail business of Messrs. Hall and Robinson
had a great surprise one day during the
past week. He was down in Montreal to
sea the workings of his new venture,
when Mr. Hall gave him the corsage bou-
quets to make for a wedding he had on
hand, and it was not until he had com-
pleted his task that he was informed
that the flowers were for the Foster and
Veitch wedding. Miss Veitch is a sister-
in-law to Mr. Reed, so Mr. Reed's first
work here was for a wedding of great
interest to him. He did not know Hall
and Robinson bad the commission. Mr.
Hall handled the decorations, both at the
church and home of the bride, who is a
daughter of the late J. G. Veitch and
Mrs. Veitch of Montreal.

James McKenna has returned from his
western trip with delegates of the Board
of Trade and is to give a talk on his
impressions during his visit at the next
meeting of the M. G. & F. Club.

Messrs. McKenna, Ltd., had the decora-
tion for the closed motor car show, held
during the past week in the Drill Hall
in Montreal. A very effective display was
made by this firm. They used, among
other items, 36 Bay trees, 48 Kentia

quently will not be avilable for exhibition
purposes. It was thought, however, that
the Cushing Memorial Building could be used
for material of a delicate nature, with other
hardier stock staged in tents on the grounds.
It is not thought that a large display, as
first planned, will be possible, owing to the
fact that many of the larger places are to be
thrown open to the visitors, resulting in
material being retained at home. Money
is being offered to help in making a public
exhibit.

John L. Chapman of Beverly Farms has
just completed rebuilding one of his green-
houses. This gives liim a modern house with
much more room. Mr. Chapman makes a
specialty of ferns, Primroses, Cherries, Cy-
clamen, Begonias and bulb stock, and always
has as nice a lot of plants as anyone could
wish for.

Norman W. Hunter of Peabody, has just
taken into partnership a wife. We all wish
Wm the best of luck. Mr. Hunter is very
much a live wire and carries on one of the
largest making up businesses in this section ,
He makes it his policy to handle only the
best in flowers and plants.

J. R. Hamilton is not going to run his
greenhouse this Winter. He will, no doubt
start up early in the Spring again.

The city of Salem has just awarded a
contract to Lord & Burnham to put a new
roof on the conservatory in Greenlawn
Cemetery. They are to start work right
away. It is an iron frame house and the job
calls for new sash bars along with resettmg
of the glass. The city runs two separate
greenhouse ranges. The Public Property
Dept. runs one and grows all the stuff used
in the city cemeteries and on the Common.
Over 7000 Geraniums is one of the leading
lines raised in this plant. The other green-
house plant is run by the Park Dept. and
supplies all the stuff used in the different
city parks.

The writer wishes to say on his own beliall
that he is making quite a specialty of Callas
this season. He has 2100 plants all jEthi-

Question Box

The New Tariff on Plants

Can you enlighten us " on the new law
which has just gone into effect putting a
30 per cent import duty on plants from
Europe. We know it affects the Iris, as
we have just received a large consignment
from England and, to our amazement,
found an import duty of $50 added to the
charges. It was the first we knew of this
higher rate. We think it is a fright;
wasn't the fool quarantine law a big
enough hardship on the growers and the
general public, and now comes on top a
30 per cent import duty; well, that will
stop the importation all right, at least,
as far as we! are concerned, and shuts out
effectively all fine new plant novelties,
for who can afford to pay a 30 per cent
duty, on say a new Iris that has already
cost $25 or $50 apiece in Europe?

P. F. F., Wash.

— Our correspondent has evidently failed
to read previous issues of The Florists
Exchange in which the proposed new
tariff has been fully exploited from time
to time. Paragraph 751 of the new tar-
iff reads as follows:

"Tulip, Lily and Narcissus bulbs and
Lily of the Valley pips, $2 per 1000;
Hyacinth bulbs, $4 per 1000; Crocus
bulbs, $1 per 1000; all other bulbs and
roots, root stocks, clumps, corms, tu-
bers and herbaceous perennials, im-
ported for horticultural purposes, 30 per
centum ad valorem; cut flowers, fresh or
preserved, 40 per centum ad valorem.

It will thus be seen that, outside of the
few species of bulbs mentioned specifically,
paragraph 751 covers a tremendous range
of stocks.

Preserving Fancy Ferns

R. F., Mich. — Fancy and Dagger ferns
are usually handled by firms specializing in
cold storage. The fronds are packed in
boxes and kept at a low temperature. By
storing in an ordinary cooler you can keep
the foliage for some time, but for long keep-
ing, the temperature has to be near freezing
point and unvarying. Even in storage, the
keeping quality is not always of the best.

Pot Roses for Memorial Day

After having potted up some Roses out
of 21/4in. pots into 4in. pots, put them
under the bench in greenhouse or cold-
frame outdoors, when would we have to
bring them to the light to get them to
bloom for Memorial Day? .

The kinds we expect to grow are: Kais-
erin Augusta Victoria^ Mmte. Edward
Herriott, Red Radiance and a few other
Hybrid Teas.— F. C. R., N. Y.

— You must not store the plants under
a greenhouse bench unless it is quite cold.
Assuming the plants are good sized plants,
if they are just out of 2y2a there is little
chance of their making worth while
growth — they should be kept in a cold-
frame well protected in severe weather.
Actually you want field grown stock lifted
in October and potted right away, for un-
less the plants are strong now, they can-
not develop strong wood next Spring; you
would have to keep young stock growing
all Winter. Strong dormant plants
potted in the Fall, and kept in frames till
March, would get well established and be
ready to jump into action after pruning.
The time it will take to get them in
flower depends on the heat used. Actual-
ly, very little warmth would be needed
to get them in for May 30 as outdoors
in this section established Roses often
start blooming at this time after being
pruned in April. Six to eight weeks will
be about the maximum after cutting back;
if weather and heat are congenial, the
plants would make shoots and flower in-
side this time.

Refrigeration for Florists

A Boston florist recently gave a talk on the Easter
Lily from the wireless station at Boston. As mentioned
in our New York City letter a New York seedsman
has made use of a similar service for broadcasting
knowledge on "How to Plant Bulbs." Horticulturists
are seemingly alive to the value of modern inventions.

Among the obituaries this week is chronicled the
death of N. P. Lindberg, who was the originator, ac-
cording to many, of the florists' slogan, "Say it with
Flowers," now so widely known. One report has it
that at the convention of the S. A. P. and O. H., in
Chicago in 1912, Mr. Lindberg was asked the question :
How does the trade in your State transact business:
To which he replied, "Out there We say it with Flow-
ers!"

Due doubtless to the influence of the recent show
held by the American Dahlia Society in the Hotel
Pennsylvania. New York, its newspapers paid quite
a good deal of attention to the Dahlia, the New York
Times going so far as to print a lengthy editorial on
that flower, entitled, "Autumn's Finest Flowers." As
was mentioned by George Asmus, of Chicago, before
a meeting of the New York Florists Club on Monday
night, Oct. 9, this spontaneous publicity supplements
and materially assists the efforts of the S. A. F. and
O. H. National Publicity Committee.

President Kerr, of the Southwestern Nurserymen's
Association, urges on the trade of his section the
need of greater specialization. The same thought was
echoed recently by a college president in his address
at the opening of another school year at his institu-
tion. Giving full credit to the desire of a student to
take a large number of courses with a view to se-
curing a "broad basic knowledge" on which to build
future work, he mentioned the danger of a man's
"becoming so broad that he is simply flat." Of course
it is a question whether being broad and flat is any
worse than being extreme in the opposite direction —
as some scientists are painfully narrow in their spe-
cialties. Undoubtedly, however, so long as we remain
"two-dimension workers," the maximum results are
going to follow him who knows the one or two things
that mean the most to him and then concentrates on
them.

It seems to us that last week's Chicago newsletter
carried the germ of a plan that might in many places
solve the "Summer Complaint" problem of which we
have heard so much lately. Out there it appears (as
elsewhere) there are amateur and farmer flower grow-
ers whose Glads., Asters, etc., tend to flood the mar-
kets and ruin prices. But do the commercial men
weep, wail and tear their hair in angry helplessness?
Not they. They have observed that the amateurs in-
stinctively grow only the commonest varieties— that
is, those most easily (and therefore most abun-
dantly) raised. Whereupon the commercial experts
pick out the better sorts, those of higher quality, that
call for greater care and skill, and that are less often,
seen in flower shops and in gardens.

Producing material of this calibre they encounter
less competition as growers, find a better and more
stable demand and firmer prices, and feel really inde-
pendent of the amateur and whatever troubles he
may cause in the ranks of wholesaler and consumer.
Is there not, perhaps, a lesson here for other com-
munities and their floricultural tradesmen?

Words — and Deeds

For the first two hours of the F. T. D. meeting in
Baltimore, one might have imagined himself at an
oratorical contest, at a battle of brilliant minds en-
deavoring to put into the most resounding phrases
ideas that would inspire with sentiment, with courage,
gratitude, good intentions and high standards.

Rarely has a finer collection of speakers been
brought together to fittingly introduce the delibera-
tions of a body whose whole existence is founded
upon the desire and determination to serve.

Yet noteworthy as were these preliminary greetings
and tributes, it cannot, it shall not be said that the
meeting of the F. T. D. was wordy, verbose, mere
sound without substance. For, once assembled, the
several hundred members kept ever in mind the fact
that they had gathered together for business, to do
things as well as talk about them.

And so the record of the Baltimore meeting is one
of progress as well as promises, of accomplishment
as well as aspirations, of actual achievement as well
as endeavor, and once more the F. T. D. unique, in-
imitable, not only in the field of floristry, but in the
whole world of industry and commerce, has justified
itself and made its place in horticultural history more
secure.

All credit then to those who contributed to the
success of this, its latest meeting; credit to the re-
tiring president, who leaves behind so bright a rec-
ord ; credit to the new incumbent whose work in
other fields has won him this latest honor; credit
to those who direct and those who assist, to those
who suggest and those who ask and those who re-
spond— to all, in short, who are helping to realize all
that the cause of flowers has to offer through the en-
lightenment and elevation of horticultural trade prac-
tice and noble ambition.

Good Quarantine News At Last

The report of F. F. Rockwell of a recent hearing
given the nurserymen of the 'F. H. B. in Washington
published in this issue, although unofficial, is of
tremendous significance and will be welcomed enthu-
siastically by all who have at heart the best develop-
ment of American horticulture.

Of primary importance is the fact that, as a result
of this hearing, the F. H. B. has agreed to permit
the importation of plants under special permit with-
out requiring the utterly indefensible and obviously
injurious practice of washing the roots. The second
striking feature emphasized by the report is the com-
plete harmony that appears to have characterized the
meeting and the friendly and open-minded attitude
displayed by the Board.

In view of the overwhelming testimony supplied
by practical authorities, not only in the trade, but
in the Department of Agriculture itself, as to the
highly injurious effects of washing the roots of plants,
especially those of the ericaceous family, little
room was left for the Board's defense of its former
requirement. Indeed it left but little conviction
in the justification advanced by Dr. Marlatt for the
imposing of this restriction, namely, that foreign ship-
pers could not be made to understand that plants
must be sent free from loose soil, except through the
order that such plants be "washed." It is to be hoped
that the requirements now determined upon will be
phrased so clearly and unmistakably that foreign
dealers will not only grasp but also obey them con-
scientiously and without criticism. American im-
porters can help bring this happy result about by
conveying at frequent intervals to all their foreign
sources of supply a clear explanation of just what
the situation is and what it requires.

As one thinks back it certainly seems a pity to
realize how much time has been wasted, how much
worry and inconvenience has been caused, and how
much controversy and how many unkind thoughts
have been exchanged, both mentally and verbally, as
a result of the long adherence of the Board to its ex-
treme position in this matter; but it is not difficult to
forget these unfortunate details in welcoming the new
state of affairs and the bright opportunities for which
they pave the way., ,,

May there come a time — and soon — when the same
sort of harmonious agreement on sane, moderate, ef-
fective regulations in connection with all the other
phases of plant quarantine effort can be brought about
through the mutual understanding, regard and con-
sideration involving Federal and State authorities
on the one hand and horticulturists — both trade and
amateur — on the other hand.

Some Lessons of a Successful Club Meeting

It would, of course, be foolish to suppose that
everyone who lives somewhere else, wishes that they
might live in Chicago. Yet it is probable that few

members of the trade will read the account of the
October meeting of the Chicago Florists Club without
an involuntary wish that they "might have been
there."

However, to borrow an argument used by a widely
advertised cold cream, "Don't envy a live, progressive
club ; get busy and be one." Any group of florists
with plenty of gumption and a definite purpose can
do so.

An especially interesting feature in connection with
the Chicago brethren is the success that has attended
their new plan of "out-of-town" meetings. These are
no novelty to many of the smaller organizations, as
past reports from Lancaster (Pa.), Albany (N. Y.),
aud elsewhere will testify. But it is quite possible
that the clubs in the larger cities could find benefit
and added pleasure in taking more frequent jaunts
out into the open country to visit the sources of pro-
duction of the goods they handle.

Of course the Niles Center meeting was held in a
place of special significance just now when fuel in
general and oil in particular are so much in the pub-
lic eye and on its tongue. Apparently the experience
of the Stielow Bros, constitutes a remarkably force-
ful argument in favor of the use of liquid fuel em-
ployed, of course, intelligently and under the right
conditions. More and more frequently do we receive
such comments as this : "There is no question but that
oil is the fuel of the future for florists unless there
is some radical change in the coal situation." Ani
the interest and enthusiasm reported from the Niles
Center meeting is but another indication of this same
trend of affairs.

Coal Supply Regulations

Wm. H. Woodin, New York State Fuel Administra-
tor, has ordained that hereafter domestic sizes of
anthracite coal may be delivered to consumers in
quantities of 30 days' supply at a time. Hitherto the
supply has been limited to two weeks.

Further restrictions have been taken off pea coal
and this size can now be purchased in any quantity.

As this measure was arrived at in conference with
F. R. Wadleigh, representing the Federal Fuel Ad-
ministration, it would appear that these new regula-
tions will apply uniformly throughout the country.

The American Rose Society

Executive Committee Meeting

A MEETING of the Executive Committee of The
American Rose Society was held at the City
Club, New York City, on Sept. 28. The report
of the officers showed a membership of over 2700, an
increase of over 500 over last year, this increase being
largely due to the generosity of a few of the members
who last year contributed $1000 for a membership
campaign. The new chairman of the Membership
Committee, J. J. Lane, of New York, outlined plans
for further increasing the membership during the
next year. Mr. Lane felt strongly that the member-
ship could be at least doubled if a more willing spirit
of cooperation could be obtained from the many
growers and dealers in Roses. With this end in view
immediate steps were taken to secure funds to under-
write the 1923 campaign.

The editor reported that the 1922 Hand Book was
complete and would be mailed to the members within
the next ten days.

The secretary told of his visits to English and
French Rose growers during the past Summer and
reported in detail the work of the International Rose
Jury at Bagatelle, Paris, where on June 15 the French
Gold Medal was awarded to the Dutch Rose, Elvira
Araguay. He spoke also of the new foreign Roses,
notably of Padre, He de France, Mrs. Oakley Fisher
and others. He emphasized the need of International
Rose Registration to prevent name duplication, quot-
ing a letter from the Rose Society of New South
Wales in this connection. The editor was authorized
to enter into correspondence with other National Rose
Societies, to see if some method of International Reg-
istration could be worked out.

The secretary reported that two Washington ladies,
Miss Harrison and Mrs. Cuthridge had offered a gold
and a silver medal for a new yellow and a new white
Rose respectively, originated by a woman, such a
Rose to be rated at over S5 per cent on the American
Rose Society system of scoring. This generous offer
was accepted by the committee with expressions of
thanks.

The question of the registration of the Rose offered
under the name of Maiden Blush by Albert F. Amling
Co. was next discussed. This name was offered for
registration last June and after publication, protests
were received from both American and foreign Rose
growers. It was proved that this name was already

October 14, 1922.

The Florists Exchange

1001

applied to another Rose. Upon regular motion there-
fore, the committee decided to refuse the registration
of this Rose. Public notice of this is therefore given
here and the Amling Co. will be requested to choose
a new name. The action of the Registration Com-
mittee in refusing to register a Rose under the name
of Majestic, for similar reasons, was approved.

The question of the proposed June 1923 trip to
Portland was again discussed. The replies to a ques-
tionnaire sent out to the members with the Annual,
indicated that not enough members were interested
to warrant the use of a special train, but the outlook
for a party to occupy one or more special cars seemed
hopeful. No further action will be taken in this
matter until next Spring when a definite proposition
will be submitted to the members.

The matter of the introduction of the new seedling
Roses of the late Dr. Van Fleet was discussed and
the president was authorized to appoint a committee
of three to draw up a contract with the United States
Department of Agriculture, this contract to be in
keeping with the spirit of the informal agreements
suggested at the Washington meeting in June 1921.
It is hoped that mother plants of the first of these
Roses, Mary Wallace, will be turned over to a dozen
or so cooperating nurserymen this Fall.

John C. Wisteb, Secretary.

Feeding Plants Outdoors with Bacteria

By B. FIELD

In greenhouses where the temperature and moisture
] can be controlled, it is easy to encourage plants with
j the aid of bacteria. For outdoor plants, whether they
| are vegetable or flowering subjects, the control of the
temperature depends on Nature's gift. Some years
we have ideal weather for plant growth and some are
! not. We are, however, interested in good crops, re-
i gardless of the imposibility of controlling the tem-
; perature or moisture.

I have tried for the last eight years to force crops
i outdoors with the same inoculated dextrogerm
peat that has been used in the greenhouses with in-
• variably good results, but I have to confess that
1 while in some years we had splendid results, in other
years we did not obtain similar crops. In 1919 we
had about 24% tons of Tomatoes per acre while in
191S only one-half the amount was obtained. These
experiments proved that the ingredients, which con-
stitute the dextrogerm process, were not perfect for
outdoor crops. It was lacking some element and I
: made changes in the process until the radio-active
■ inoculated peat became a complete product for out-
door cultures.

Moisture vs. Water

Moisture is very essential for plant growth. The
difference between moisture and water is very impor-
tant. Moisture is composed of molecules of water
with the interspaces enlarged, due to the tempera-
ture. When moisture transforms itself back to water,
the energy of the enlarged interspaces is not lost. It
acts on the surrounding elements like a cathalyte.
The energy seems to work on the moisture, trans-
forming it to ions of H and HO.

When a concentration of these ions take place, they
•dissolve the corresponding electro-magnetic electrons
of matter and act on the spores of bacteria, reviving
•their cycle of activity. The concentration of the H
and HO ions is accelerated by the presence of the
electrons of potash, phosphorus, etc. Experiments
•conducted with carnotite ore, containing less than 1
per cent oxide of uranium, in the presence of small
•quantities of potash and phosphorus, seem to prove
that a stronger and quicker concentration of ions is
possible. Oxide of uranium is radio-active and gives
off negative electrons of radium. In a test tube of
fermented bran with dextrogerm bacteria, a small
pinch of pulverized carnotite added to the tube will
show a marvelous activity of the bacteria.

Peat a Medium for Bacteria

Peat is an excellent medium for moisture and bac-
teria. The tissues of the disintegrated peat are full
of small capillary tubes, which retain the water and
give it off under the form of moisture. The chemical
■composition of peat shows small quantities of nitro-
gen, potash and phosphorus in sufficient quantities
to make a good medium for all sorts of bacteria in-
cluding the B. radicicola. When the temperature is
right the nitrogen in the peat, usually under the form
of proteids, is transformed through the action of bac-
teria to ammoniates. Afterward the azotobacters
from the air set in and transform these ammoniates
to nitrates. In other words they have a tendency to
lock up the nitrogen for the future.

In some way it resembles the old method of making
saltpetre, when the farmer was using the manure
pile, exposed near the barn, and watering it with the

fresh urine of the stables. After several months, this
pile of manure contained a large percentage of salt-
petre. The top layers of peat marshes, about one foot
in thickness, show the same action and reaction of
bacterial activity. If such peat is inoculated with
dextrogerm bacteria, to which is added a certain quan-
tity of uranium oxide, it produces a very good ma-
nurial compost. The temperature then rises up to
120 deg. F., and if this compost is mixed with from
four to eight parts of good, clean top soil, you can
grow all sorts of crops. We must not forget that mil-
lions of years ago, before animal life was in exist-
ence, vegetation was flourishing in abundance. They
provided their own fertilizing elements through the
fallen leaves. Chemically analyzed, leaves contain
small quantities of potash and phosphorus. If plants
provided their own elements of fertilizing in the past,
is it not plausible to admit that they do it today also?

How Do Plants Gain Weight?

Let us now consider a simple experiment. In a pot
of say about ten pounds of soil we grow a plant.
After several months the plant gains weight, say
from three to five pounds, but if we remove the plant
carefully and weigh the soil, we find that it contains
about the same weight. From whence did the plant
gain the weight? It is certain that the potash and
phosphorus are still intact in the soil. We must,
therefore, conclude that in the presence of potash and
phosphorus, a certain life ferment made the chemi-
cal changes necessary for the growth and life of the
plant.

It so happens that I manage an iron foundry. On
the dump adjoining the works, we discard our waste
material which consists of cupola slag. This slag is
mostly composed of burned coke, iron and silicates.
After several years, this waste material, in the pres-
ence of water and moisture, cakes and becomes solid,
like a rock. We can only break it up with dynamite.
On this rock is blown another waste product of the
foundry, the burned moulding sand. This burned
sand contains silicates and traces of oxide of iron,
potash and phosphorus. In this burned moulding
sand, which is only a few inches thick on the sur-
face of the rocks, grows the most luxuriant wild vege-
tation. The only explanation possible is the theory of
radio-activity. All the elements in this dump contain
a certain degree of radio-activity. With this energy
and with the abundance of moisture, the bacteria
from the air, after they get a medium in this soil,
secrete the necessary elements for plant absorption.
This theory will also explain why we can grow splen-
did crops of Tobacco in the Connecticut Valley. The
texture of this soil has a special degree of radio-
activity to grow a good Tobacco crop.

Bacteria as a Stimulant

It would seem, therefore, that radio-active inocu-
lated peat is a good compost. It contains plenty of
dextrogerm bacteria. It also contains radio-active
uranium ore. If you want to encourage an outdoor
crop, once you have these elements in the soil you can
add more bacteria. You have but to ferment in a
barrel, bran mixed with dextrogerm. Spread this
between the plants and cultivate, and the result will
be equivalent to forcing a crop scientifically with the
aid of bacteria.

Fall and Winter Business Prospects

From week to week as the Fall season closes in, the
stronger becomes our conviction that the business of
the florist, nurseryman and seedsman — all three — to-
gether with that of those branches which supply these
industries, is setting the pace for a season of un-
exampled activity, one that will not be brought about
through feverish trade movements, but through an
actual healthy and normal growth, unfettered by na-
tional strikes or national business stagnation in any
direction.

N. P. Lindberg

N. P. Lindberg, of Rugby, N. D., was killed in an
automobile accident Oct. 5. He was 57 years of age.

At the S. A. F. and O. H. convention in Chicago,
in Aug. 1912 Mr. Lindberg was said to have answered
a question as to how the trade in his State transacted
business in a manner which many claim entitles him
to the honor of originating the florists' slogan, his
reply being, "Out there we Say it with Flowers."

Henry F. Haase

Henry F. Haase, for a number of years connected
with floral section of the United States Department
of Agriculture, Washington, D. O, died at his home
last week following an illness of three months. He
was a native of Alsace, France, and came to the
United States about 35 years ago. He was fifty-nine
years old.

The deceased is survived by his widow and three
children, Mrs. William Dempsey, Dorothy M. Haase,
and Henry F. Haase, Jr., all of this city. Burial on
Oct. 9 was from the Sacred Heart Church with inter-
ment in Mount Olivet Cemetery. C. L. L.

Mrs. Lydia Barr

Mrs. Lydia Barr, widow of Benjamin Barr, died at
the Reformed Mennonite Home, Lancaster, Pa., at
one o'clock Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 4. Death was
due to the general debility of an advanced age, she
being in her Slst year. She is survived by two sons,
Ellis G. Barr and B. Frank Barr, the latter the lead-
ing florist of Lancaster.

The funeral was held at the Reformed Mennonite
Church in Lancaster and interment in the Longi-
necker Cemetery.

Mr. Barr has the sympathy of the trade, many of
whom attended the funeral. Albert M. Herb.

Arthur B. Carrick

Thrown from an automobile when the machine
overturned as a result of efforts to avoid collision
with another car, Arthur Benjamin Carrick, 27 years
of age, for several years an employee of Gude Broth-
ers Co., Washington, D. C, suffered a fractured skull
on the road near Hughesville, Md., on Oct. 8, dying
almost instantly. Mr. Carrick, accompanied by his
wife, their two-year-old daughter and Mrs. Carrick's
mother and sister, was in a machine driven by George
Brady, of Seat Pleasant, Md. Mr. Brady and Mrs.
Carrick's sister were seriously injured, and were
brought to Washington, where it was found that the
young girl had a broken collar bone and possible
fracture of the skull.

During the World War, Mr. Carrick served in the
American Expeditionary Forces. He was gassed and
captured by the Germans a few days before the sign-
ing of the armistice terminated hostilities. He suf-
fered severely from lack of food before being returned
to this country. Entering the army on Sept. 2S, 1917.
he served with Company B, 325th Infantry, until April
1918 when he was sent overseas with Company I,
313th Infantry. Among the battles in which he fought
were those of Toul, from June 26 to Aug. 6, 191S;
Marbache, from Aug. 15 to Sept. 11 ; St. Mihiel, Sept.
12 to 16, and the Argonne, from Sept. 26 to Oct. 15.
At the time of his capture he was a sergeant. He was
honorably discharged, with a certificate of excellent
character, from Camp Meade, Md., on May S, 1919.

Adam Reed

Adam Reed, aged 62, prominent pottery manufac-
turer and representative citizen of Zanesville, O.,
died Friday, Sept. 8, at the Good Samaritan hospital,
following an operation for gallstones. He had been
in declining health for several months and submitted
to an operation on the Tuesday previous. His condi-
tion was such that he never rallied from his weakened
heart action.

Mr. Reed was born at Reed's Mills, Jefferson coun-
ty, but had resided in Zanesville for more than 35
years. He was employed for several years at the
S. A. Weller pottery, but later formed a partnership
with John D. Peters and founded the Peters and
Reed Pottery Co., about 24 years ago. When Mr.
Peters retired from the industry his interests were
taken over by Mr. Reed and the plant operated un-
der the name of the Zane Pottery Co. Mr. Reed
was president and general manager of the company
until one year ago when he resigned as manager, but
maintained the presidency of the company.

During his long period of residence in Zanesville,
Mr. Reed was active in the progress and development
of his adopted city. He was a man of sterling integ-
rity and lofty ideals and was held in high regard by
his friends and business associates. He was imbued
with a thorough and comprehensive community spirit
and manifested a deep interest in public and civic
affairs. He served as a member of the board of
health and was frequently mentioned as a possible
candidate for mayor on the Democratic ticket in the
Fall of 1921.

Surviving are his widow and two children, Law-
rence and Russell Reed. He also leaves three broth-
ers and two sisters.

The funeral was held Monday afternoon, Sept. 11,
at the residence, Van Buren st. and Moxahala ave.

Rousing Meeting and Inspection Trip at
Niles Center

IT was a happy thought on the part of the good of
the club committee when the establishment of
Stielow Bros, at Niles Center was selected as the
October meeting place. The problem of oil as fuel has
been growing in interest to the trade for the past few
years since coal became so uncertain in supply, and
so excessive in cost. There are many florists around
Chicago who are already using it, but none of them
to the same extent and with as complete equipment
as Stielow Bros. Hence the establishment has of
late became a cynosure for all who are interested in
heating problems for greenhouses or otherwise.

The call for the meeting resulted in a large trade
representation. There were a few retailers, some
wholesalers, nurserymen and seedsmen, growers by the
hundred, greenhouse architects, heating engineers, oil
salesmen, bulb salesmen, supply men, pottery repre-
sentatives, insurance representatives, and the dope
artists from the leading trade papers.

Notes on the Stielow Bros. Equipment

The inspection of the heating system was of course
the paramount object of the gathering. One of the
largest boilers was in full operation and there were ex-
perts on the ground to explain every detail of the
system from the huge 500,000 gallon tank to the
combustion chamber in the boilers.

The latter are all of the Kroeschell construction.
The first one installed has a capacity for heating
72,000 sq. ft. of glass having a radiation of 24,000ft.
of 4in. pipe. Another is an 80 h.p. horizontal Kroe-
schell return tubular high pressure steam boiler;
another is of the high pressure fire and water tube
type with a capacity of 125 h.p. The new boiler and
the one in operation are both 250 h.p. water tube
steam boilers designed for high pressure. They were
formerly used for coal, but were easily converted to
the use of oil, the only changes necessary being the
removal of the grates and the building up of the ash
pit with brick. The oil lines are led into the burners
inside the boilers through holes in the doors, valves
on the outside providing for the proper adjustment
of the flow of both oil and steam. The proper com-
bination of these elements results in the incandescent
white flame which is evidence of the complete burn-
ing of the carbons in the oil ; if the oil flow is greater
than that of the steam, the flame will be cloudy and
smoke will arise.

Compressed air can be used as an atomizer but
steam is used by the Stielow Bros, system and is led
through a reducing valve under 40 to 50 pounds
pressure. It is again controlled at the burners by
a globe valve. The steam and oil enter the combus-
tion chamber simultaneously producing a vapor that
is readily ignitable. An isinglass panel in the doors
of the fire box permits inspection of the flame to see
if further adjustment of the valves is necessary.

The oil heating system of Stielow Bros, was in-
stalled by F. R. Crane, Jr., consulting engineer, who
was present and read the interesting paper on Oil Fuel
for Greenhouses, published elsewhere in this issue.
The oil is stored in an underground reinforced con-
crete tank of 120,000 gallon capacity. Further storage
accommodation is supplied by a steel 500,000 gallon
tank. The oil is taken from the concrete tank by
automatic steam pumps, through a heater where it
attains a temperature of 160 to 180 deg., and thence
to the burners.

Mr. Crane stated that he was at present installing
an oil burning system for Bassett & Washburn at
Hinsdale. 111. This is of the steam atomizing type,
with automatic oil pumping and oil heating system.
A new feature is an arrangement for firing the boilers
from the rear instead of the front as has been gen-
eral heretofore.

Mr. Crane answered many questions as did W. A.
Dallach, another expert on oil heating, who also ad-
dressed the florists and cleared up a number of points.

The Brunswick-Kroeschell Co., has had much to do
with the splendid equipment of this establishment.
Besides the four large boilers there is a Kroeschell
refrigerator system installed to take care of the cut
flowers awaiting transit to the market. This is a
wonderfully cool chamber and was a favorite resort
with the visitors not only for its cooling influence
but through its invigorating effect as well. (The
juice of the Grape when properly handled revives
memories of former days.) A hot water circulating
pump of Brunswick-Kroeschell origin is another fea-
ture of the equipment.

The afternoon meeting was held in the shipping
rooms of the establishment with T. E. Waters as
master of ceremonies. Apart from the good things
in the refrigerator chamber, Stielow Bros, passed the
cigars freely among the visitors.

The Stielow Bros, range is but one of many at
Niles Center which has for long been a favorite loca-
tion for greenhouse establishments. Good soil and
convenience to the Chicago market are probably the
main reasons why. The Stielow range consists of
about 150,000 sq. ft. of glass which have been doubled
this Summer by the erection by the American Green-
house Mfg. Co. of seven houses, which are devoted
exclusively to Roses. Jack Glauner, the Rose grower,
stated there were S5,000 plants in the new houses,
an even distribution of Columbia, Premier, Sunburst,
and Mme. Butterfly. There are two large houses of
Carnations in the pink of perfection.

There is a spur track leading to the service build-
ings of the establishment where oil, fertilizer, soil,
and all the necessary requirements can be brought
in by the carload. In the large workrooms the flow-
ers are graded, cooled, packed and taken by trucks to
Chicago. The Chicago Flower Growers Association
(in which the Stielow Bros, are stockholders) han-
dles the entire product of the establishment.

The American Greenhouse Mfg. Co. had its official
photographer on the ground to take a photograph of
the visitors. Two hundred and twelve people were
counted in the group, but it was impossible to get

them all together at any one time. The total atten-
dance was at least 250 and probably 275 visitors.

Earl Mann, of the E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind., l
was present and had on exhibition a handsome vase
of the new Rose, America. There was another vase
of Amelia Gude in excellent form. A vast of a new
French Rose was of much interest; it is Claudius
Pernet, raised by Pernet-Ducher, of Orleans. It is a
clear deep yellow with finely indented foliage and
quite thorny stems. It is said to be a good forcer and
will, no doubt, after a time, find a place for itself in ,
the list of commercial varieties.

Good Times 'Tween Sessions

At the close of the inspection tour of the green-
houses and the oil burning equipment, not all, but a
large portion of the party motored to the Auto Inn
in the village of Niles Center where they found Mike
Scbmitz and his good wife, Mary. The latter, at
the behest of the good of the club committee prepared
a most appetizing luncheon for the members. Never
was the Auto Inn so brimfull of good fellowship, and
never was a luncheon so eagerly sought or so fully
enjoyed. We will not mention all the good things and
only say they were life giving, satisfying, and in-
vigorating to a point of gleeful exhilaration. After
the luncheon the business meeting of the club was
called in the court house.

The Business Meeting

Like the afternoon meeting, this was full of merri-
ment, wit and repartee. The members were in excel-
lent mood for a great meeting. Being outside the
city walls the members discarded the customary hand
clapping whenever applause was due, and simply
shouted and sang hosannas of approval all through
the meeting. There was an attendance of 75 or more
not including a small delegation which occupied the
gallery much to the merriment of those below.

During the preliminaries Secretary Lautenschlager
took advantage of the fact that the meeting was being
held in new and fertile fields, and busied himself get-
ting more members. In this he was eminently suc-
cessful as he later turned in 19 applications. A note-
worthy evening's work for the untiring secretary.

After much preliminary speech making, President
Kohout called the meeting to order, stating he was
glad to see such a large attendance and asking the
members to continue to give the officers their sup-
port in the same cordial manner at all future meet-
ings throughout the year.

Nineteen New Members in one Evening;!

After reading the minutes of the preceding meet-
ings, under the call for new members the secretary
announced the names of 18 applicants. At this point
a motion was made to suspend the regular rules of
the club and to instruct the secretary to cast a ballot
for their election, so that they would become members
that evening. This was done amid great applause and
the following were duly enrolled on the roster of the
club:

R. J. Mohr, 180 N. Wabash ave., Chicago.

D. P. Connell, 20S La Salle St., Chicago.
C. O. Olson, 900 Blackhawk St., Chicago.
T. J. Impy, 900 Blacknawk st., Chicago.

J. Van der Wohl, 10421 Michigan ave., Chicago.
A. W. Logsdon, 327 S. La Salle st, Chicago.
Walter Kuhlmann, Melrose Park, 111.

A. A. Schneider, Oak Park, 111.
Peter Grasse, Morgan Park, 111.

The Florists Exchange

1003

committee made an excellent report giving a detailed
account of the May meeting. He asked for better
support and hoped the members would turn out for
all future meetings.

As A. J. Zech, chairman of the sports committee,
was unable to be present the report of the Bowling
Tournament at the Kansas City convention was de-
ferred until the next meeting. M. Barker, chairman
of the committee on transportation, submitted a re-
port as to trains to the F. T. D. convention at Balti
more, Oct. 10 to 12.

Jas. Morton and T. E. Waters as a committee on
resolutions on the death of our late members: Lau-
renz P. Geiger, Andrew Benson, and F. F. Benthey,
submitted suitable resolutions which were read, the
members all standing. It was voted that copies be
sent to the immediate relatives of the deceased, and
that others be filed in the records of the club.

A letter was read from the secretary of the Ohio
District Growers Association asking for the coopera-
tion of the Chicago club in the establishment of the
standardization of quality in cut flowers — 'Roses,
Chrysanthemums and Carnations in particular. On
motion this was laid on the table as it is a matter
that the Commercial Flower Growers had already
under consideration.

H. W. Logsdon, who is looking after the interest
of the florists in all matters of insurance, was present
and addressed the meeting. He asked for the fullest
cooperation of the trade in these matters as it is only
in this way that a lower rate than they are paying
now can be secured. He is giving the matter much
of his time and will report progress at some later
meeting. He was asked many questions and answered
them in a capable manner. The cigars were passed
around at the speaker's expense.

Peter Pearson spoke in behalf of the Uptown Chi-
cago Exposition and told of what he was accomplish-
ing in the way of exhibits in the floral department.
All the new Roses, Carnations, Chrysanthemums,
Sweet Peas, etc., will be on exhibition daily. It was
decided that the Florists Club should aid Mr. Pear-
son in his work in the promotion of this show as he
is working in the interests, of all commercial flower
growers. On motion it was carried that the presi-
dent appoint a committee to aid in every possible
way.

Revised By-Laws to be Printed

The fact that the club has not issued a copy of its
by-laws and membership list since 1912 was brought
up. New members are asking for this, but there are
no more copies on hand; besides, there have been
many changes in the by-laws since that time. It was
decided that the by-laws be revised and brought up-
todate and a new edition be published. The president
was authorized to appoint a committee to attend to
this matter and produce "the goods" within 60 days.
Guy French proposed a vote of thanks to T. E.
Waters for his splendid services as chairman of the
good of the club committee and the successful man-
ner in which he planned the meeting. He told the
story of an Irishman who, seeing a little caboose on
the end of a fast train, said to his friend : "That lit-
tle caboose will have to go some to keep up with that
train." He said that the next chairman of the good
of the club would have to go some to keep up with
Mr. Waters in all he is doing. There were three rous-
ing cheers for "Tim."

Mr. Waters proposed three cheers for Stielow Bros.
for their hospitality and these were given with
great spirit. Ben Bakker, one of the new members,
volunteered his services to the club's bowling team.

As it has been understood since the May meeting
that the November meeting is to be held at the Hans
Jepson greenhouses in Maywood, a motion was made
to that effect. Mr. Jepson stated that he had the
cooperation of 14 growers in the Maywood district
to help him entertain the members and hoped a large
number would be present.

Jas. Psenicka spoke for better support of the mem-
bers at all future meetings, all of which should be
as good as the present one. It was he who started
the fun of the evening by moving that the stove in
the court house be not lighted that evening, as it was
warm enough.

The out-of-the-city meetings have met with great
favor with the members, and it is the intention of the
officers to follow this precedent at all seasons when
weather conditions permit.

Since the close of the meeting President Kohout
has announced the following committees : Committee
to prepare a new booklet containing by-laws revised
to date — M. C. Wright, chairman, James Morton, A. T.
Pyfer.

Committee from Chicago Florists Club to aid the
Uptown Chicago Exposition — E. A. Ollinger, Hans
Jepson, James Morton, A. T. Pyfer, Herman Schiller,
Robt. Windier, Edward Clody, James R. Paul, Paul
Amling, James Psenicka.

Oil Fuel for Greenhouses

Address by F. R. Crane, Jr., Consulting En-
gineer for Stielow Bros., Niles Center, III.,
before the Chicago Florists Club, Oct. 5, 1922

I TRUST you will pardon me for stating in the
beginning that a surprisingly large number of
firms and individuals have appeared upon the
horizon within the past few months with the claim,
both verbal and printed, that the oil burning system
and equipment at Stielow Bros, was installed by them.

In justice to the florists, to Stielow Bros, and to
myself, it is necessary to state that Stielow Bros,
engaged me as consulting engineer early in the Sum-
mer of 1921, and solely under my supervision this
system was installed. I am authorized by Stielow
Bros, to make this statement.

A natural inquiry at this time of the year is, What
is the proper season for the installation of an oil
burning system? The answer is, any time. Where
there are two or more boilers, one or more may be
equipped at a time, reserving ample boiler capacity
to take care of the load during the change, especially
if the season is cold. The first boilers equipped are
brought to the point of satisfactory capacity before
further equipment is commenced.

Do not forget that the moment your boiler is
equipped for oil burning, its capacity is increased,
making it capable of supplying a larger amount of
heat than formerly.

The Question of Burner Tips

Concerning burners : remember that there are a
large number of oil burner jet heads (often common-
ly called burner tip) upon the market, some of which
are very fine, while others are poor. We make and
use an atomizing burner of the spray type, which is
so constructed that it gives the oil the desired "twist-
ing" course as it leaves the orifice, thus combining
the advantages of both the mechanical and spray
types of burners, and sidestepping the disadvantages
of a mechanical burner. These disadvantages con-
sisting of the necessity for more equipment — such as
compressors, blowers, etc. — and the need for more
attention, owing to more complicated mechanism.

After your oil burning system is installed it is an
easy matter, should you so desire, to attach and try
any burner tip you may fancy ; we are glad to have
our customers try any of the standard burner tips on
the market. But as to the actual system itself, this
is a straight engineering problem, and experiments
with "oil burners" — especially ^nany of the little "sets"
which are put up and advocated for the use of flo-
rists— will only result in disappointment. Remem-
ber, an oil burning system must be worked out care-
fully along professional engineering lines, the florists'
requirements can never be properly cared for with a
device which might work alright in a flat building
or a residence.

Other equipment, aside from the actual burner jet-
head — such as pumps, motors, pipes, valves, fittings,
etc., must be of standard make and undoubted qual-
ity and performance.

Storage facilities for oil should be equal to at least
one-third of the season's supply ; the larger the stor-
age capacity, within reasonable limits, the lower the
fuel cost, because you can stock heavily at those sea-
sons when oil is least in demand or lowest in price.
Concrete and steel tanks are both good, and either
will give excellent service when properly constructed.
Arrangements should be made for heating the oil to
preserve the prope viscosity at seasons when this is
necessary.

We come now to the most important portion of an
installation, the combustion chamber. All other fac-
tors may be right, but if your combustion chamber
is not such as to use the waste heat, and if it is not
adapted to the type of burner used, the results will
not be satisfactory. The combustion chamber is an
individual engineering problem in every case, and all
factors must be considered in connection therewith.
What you want is not a pretty flame, but results,
proper evaporation and high efficiency, with minimum
use of fuel.

Oil burning is not complicated ; oil is far easier
to use than any other fuel. But its simplicity con-
sists in Tightness. With standard equipment, care-
fully and properly installed, you will soon discover
its many advantages, among them being ease of
operation, saving in labor, and elimination of dirt
about your premises.

If you have a portion of your fuel supply in, and
yet wish to burn oil, you can have one or more of
your boilers equipped for oil, which will give you
opportunity for a good trial, if you are still somewhat
skeptical.

I am now installing oil burning equipment at the
range of Bassett & Washburn, Hinsdale, 111., where
nine 150 h.p. boilers are used. The system will be

very similar to the one you see here at Stielow Bros.,
with one notable exception — the boilers will be fired
from the rear.

The Essential Questions

In considering oil burning, get down to bedrock,
and divest your thinking of all the "bunk" which has
been talked and written upon this subject. Technical
terms are necessary for the use of the heating en-
gineer, but they mean little to the prospective user,
and only divert his thought from the essentials of a
good installation. Ask such questions as these : If
there is a sudden drop in outdoor temperature and
my plant must be in operation in a very short time
and possibly on low pressure, is the system equal to
it? Will the air entering my combustion chamber be
so heated that it will not require an undue amount
of fuel to get proper combustion? Will the steam (or
air) and oil atomize in exactly the right proportions?
Will the oil emerge from the jet-head with exactly
the right "twist," without the necessity of a com-
plicated motor-blower-compressor system? Can I keep
an even flow of oil in extremely cold weather? Will
my pipes, valves, fittings, etc., be standard, and of
equal quality to the larger parts of the equipment?

If you are persistent and insistent in your investi-
gations along these lines, and will see that your in-
stallation meets with these requirements, you can
expect to obtain, and you will obtain satisfactory re-
sults from oil burning.

Texas State Horticultural Society

The thirty-eighth annual convention of this society,
held in connection with that of the Southwestern
Association of Nurserymen was successful in every
way — and the best meeting held in years. Among the
interesting papers scheduled — all of which were re-
ceived with interest and enthusiasm — were those on
"The Tenant and the Orchard" by G. H. Blackman, of
Waxahachie; "Dusting vs. Spraying," by A. P. Swal-
low, horticulturist of the State A. and M. College:
"The Great Need for Planting Fruit Trees in Texas,"
by Mrs. L. E. Warner : "The Beautification of Home
Grounds," by R. A. Gilliam, of Dallas; and "Latest
Developments in the Control of Pecan Insects," by
Prof. S. W. Bilsing, of the college.

The officers of last year were re-elected except that
Edward Teas, of Houston, was made vice-president
in place of G. A. McKee. The president is M. Falk-
ner, Waco (whose address was summarized in a re-
cent issue of The Exchange) and the secretary-treas-
urer, Mrs. H. E. Hall, of Sherman. Members at large
of the executive committee are J. M. Ramsey, Austin
and J. D. Tinsley, Galveston.

Cornell University

Short Course in Floriculture, November 8 to
February 16, 1923

In order to assist young men who cannot come to
the University for the regular four year course the
Department of Floriculture is again offering a short
course in floriculture covering a period of 12 weeks.
For those especially interested in Commercial Flori-
culture two highly specialized courses are offered.
One course will consist of a thorough study of the
culture of cut flowers and greenhouse plants for
wholesale and retail markets. The arrangement of
flowers and the methods employed by the progressive
florist in conducting his business will also be con-
sidered. Greenhouse construction and maintenance
of commercial establishments will be dealt with in
the second professional course; also location, cost,
heating and the drafting of specifications. In addi-
tion to these courses, students are required to regis-
ter for agricultural chemistry, soils, plant diseases
and injurious insect pests, all subjects which are of
utmost importance in plant culture. The student may
also elect courses in gardening and garden flowers,
landscape planning and planting or plant breeding.

As in former years, some of the leaders in the pro-
fession will be called upon to lecture on special topics
while the course is in progress. This work offers a
rare opportunity for the sons of florists or those al-
ready employed by commercial florists or estate own-
ers. Every progressive young man engaged in this
wonderful business should realize that he owes some-
thing to himself in the way of self-development and
knowledge if he expects to reach the top in this pro-
gressive industry.

Interest in flower growing, however, is not confined
to men engaged in commercial floriculture. There is
an increasing demand from amateurs for information
regarding the culture of plants to be used in the
home and garden. Three courses have been arranged
with a view to meeting this demand.

A booklet descriptive of all the courses given dur-
ing the Winter months in the College of Agriculture
will be sent upon request by addressing Professor
E. A. White, Department of Floriculture, Ithaca,
N. Y., or the secretary of the College of Agriculture,
Ithaca, N. Y.

The Florists Exchange

F. T. D. Annual Meeting

(Continued from page 977)

An interesting and explicit explanation of the clear-
ing house now in operation was given by Miss Wick
of the office force who, according to Mr. Breitmeyer,
"does all the work anyway, we men just standing
around."

W. W. Gainmage then discussed the workings of
the Canadian, or as he preferred to put it, the Inter-
national Clearing House, pointing out its benefits to
all concerned.

In view of the fact that everyone was wearing a
prominent identification button it was decided to dis-
pense with the roll call, so the meeting proceeded
to select a place of meeting for 1923. Or rather, as
the president put it, it decided by acclamation that
"We're going to St. Louis next year." And that was
that. Since there was no contest, everyone was satis-
fied.

That matter settled, the exuberant Max Schling
grabbed the opportunity to file an invitation from
the mayor, the Fifth Avenue Association, the florists,
the park officials and other interests of "the only
New York City in the States" to meet there in. 1924.
No one objected, so— Schramm of Toledo jumped into
the breach and nominated Toledo for 1925. The suc-
ceeding applause was silenced by Karl P. Baum of
Knoxville. who reminded the meeting that 1925 had been
"reserved" two years before by Knoxville and the
Southland for its very own. This President Breit-
meyer recalled and acknowledged, whereupon Mr.
Schramm, not to be bested, came back with a sten
torian, "Then 1926 for Toledo !"

It might have gone on and rounded out the cen-
tury, but Mr. Schling ended the .game by moving
that the secretary record the foregoing "reservations ;
for verification or confirmation each succeeding year.
This motion was seconded and carried.

Irwin Bertermann, for the Nominating Committee,
refused to name a candidate for president, preferring
to let the matter be settled with complete democracy
from the floor. He suggested, however, six names
for directors, three to be elected for a three year term,
the six being Messrs. Wm. P. Smyth, Karl P. Baum,
W. W. Gammage, H. P. Schiller, Ira C. Harper and
Thomas Joy.

Henry Penn then proceeded to nominate for presi-
dent Edward Sceery, of Paterson, N. J., one who has
been affiliated with the association from the first,
who has the ability to lead it, and who has given as-
surance of his willingness to give to the work the
time and effort it demands. After a second and some
discussion, Chas. Henry Fox called for the re-election
of Mr. Breitmeyer as one who had proved his ability
beyond question. However, in deference to the lat-
ter's urgent request this suggestion, though vigorously
applauded was not acted upon. Instead the nomina-
tions were voted closed and, within a few moments,
with unprecedented despatch the election of Mr.
Sceery by unanimous vote and a single ballot, had
been consummated.

Similarly Fred C. Weber, of St. Louis, was made
vice-president; the first three nominees for direc-
torships were elected; and the choice by the direc-
tors of secretary — which as President Breitmeyer re-
marked, "goes without saying" — was approved with
applause. Mr. Pochelon thus remains secretary, and
in the same manner Wm. L. Rock is retained as treas-
urer.

At this point Mr. Sceery was discovered just out-
side the door, corralled, and led to the platform where
he acknowledged the applause that greeted him with
a heartfelt speech of thanks and a pledge to give his
best thoughts, his efforts, and his time to the task
entrusted to him. He mentioned his intention of visit-
ing all the members he could during the year — a pro-
posal which was warmly applauded — and solicited
the continued cooperation of the membership in an
endeavor to advance the interests of the association
and the trade throughout the coming year.

Outlining the important features of the District
Unit Plan, J. F. Ammann, field manager, made use
of an interesting chart and suggested ways in which
the new scheme of organization would help matters
along.

He then read the rules proposed for the various
unit organizations similar to those already adopted
and recommended by the meeting of the District Rep-
resentatives on Oct. 9, and urged the approval of the
scheme. Incidentally he pointed out that this was
the tenth anniversary of the rebirth or "conversion"
of the F. T. D. A. and contrasted the condition in
1912 when there were about 57 members — of about
as many kinds — with that today, when of the 2500
odd members, he believes fully 75 per cent are of the
live, active "go getter" sort, 20 per cent of the indif-
ferent, neutral kind, and only 5 per cent of the fel-
lows with active hammers — which, nevertheless, have
their uses in stimulating the others.

After some little discussion, most of which reflected
a strong sentiment in favor of the plan, as outlined
at previous times in the past, a vote was called for
and the District Unit Plan of organization was unan-
imously adopted.

President Breitmeyer then introduced Carl Bngel-
maun of England, who had just returned from his
survey of the contesting window displays. Mr. Engel-
mann's paper, which appears elsewhere in this issue,
was heard with great interest and Wm. F. Gude sug-
gested that the chairman appoint a committee to
report upon it with recommendations.

For the Window Judging Committee, Karl P. Baum
then made a brief report, naming the three winners,
as follows :

First, Robt. L. Geaham, with 92 points.

Second, Samuel Feast & Sons, with 91 points.

Third, Mrs. Mary Johnston, with 90 points.

The all important matter of the New Clearing House
Plan was then entered upon, President Breitmeyer
laying it before the meeting, and Herman P. Knoble
explaining its aims and workings at some length.
A full discussion, for which the president had called,
then ensued, which centered not so much about the
merits of the plan as a whole, as upon some of its
details which still do not seem fully understood. Mr.
Dillemuth, of Canada, and Mr. Palmer, of Brookline,
Mass., were among those who brought up points for
further elucidation, while Messrs. Schling, Pochelon,
Knoble, Ammann, John M. Besemer, auditor for the
association, Perry (of Dard's, New York) and Wm. F.
Gude, urged its prompt and complete endorsement.
The discussion waxing warm, some attempt was made
to continue it indefinitely, while other endeavors were
made to settle the matter by vote at once.

Under the calm, unimpassioned control of Mr. Breit
meyer, however, the matter was left in abeyance
and the meeting adjourned for the day at six o'clock
p.m.

The Exhibit Feature

While trade exhibits were not included in the plan>
of the meeting a number of firms decided that it
would be worth while to show some goods. So they
made their displays on an upper floor of the Hotel
Emerson while signs in the lobby called attention to
the fact. Those so represented were :

The Zane Pottery Co., Zanesville, O.

Schloss Bros. Ribbons, Inc., New York City.

Poehlmann Bros. Co., Chicago.

Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia.

The Neidinger Co., Philadelphia.

Cohen & Hiller, New York City.

Sieck & Glick, Baltimore.

W. A. Manda, South Orange, N. J., made an exhibi-
tion of pot plants in the lobby of the hotel.

W. T. Usinger had an exhibit of fancy candles.

Akehurst & Sons also showed in the lobby some
handsome vases and baskets of Columbia Roses. Of
course the Rose novelties shown by the E. G. Hill
Co. and Fred H. Lemon Co.'s, and an unnamed seed-
ling Rose, shown by Charles Frush of Saginaw, Mich.,
were also in the nature of exhibits.

Wednesday — First Session

At the opening of this meeting, Mr. Langwith, the
Havana (Cuba) representative of the F. T. D. A.,
was introduced to the assemblage.

Immediately thereafter, the Clearing House propo-
sition was taken up and, upon the motion of Wm. F.
Gude, the delegates unanimously approved the recom-
mendations and resolutions submitted by the district
representatives, thus putting the final approval to the
Clearing House project. The board of directors was
further authorized to take all the steps necessary
toward putting this plan into operation and, if at ali
possible, to have it in working order by Jan. 1, 1923.

Much of the remaining part of the session was
taken up in discussions covering many subjects,
among them, the ways and means of advertising the
Florists Telegraph Delivery Association in cities of
different sizes.

Considerable discussion took place on the subject
of Sunday. Closing and the advisability of the society's
indicating flower shops that do and do, not keep open.
There were some able speakers on both sides, but
President Breitmeyer finally called a stop to the dis-
cussion on the ground that "to close or not to close"
was every man's privilege and the society had no
right to take action thereon. Another discussion was
started through the paper read by W. Hansen, of
Chicago, entitled "F. T. D. Cooperation with the
Wholesaler" in which Messrs. Niessen, of Philadel-
phia, Traendly, of New York, and Heitmiller, of Phila-
delphia, joined. The conclusion arrived at was that
there should be more cooperation between both the
retailers and the wholesalers themselves and then
these two divisions working further together.

An invitation was read from Atlanta, Ga., to hold

the 1925 F. T. D. meeting there and this coincided
with the invitation extended by Karl P. Baum, of
Knoxville, Tenn., on Tuesday that the next meeting
be held in the South. This joint invitation will, in all
probability, get the meeting for some city in the
South in the year 1925.

Then followed the paper read by Harold C. Perry,
of Dards, on "Steamship Business." This raised no
little discussion and it was agreed that the associa-
tion write diplomatically to the large steamship com-
panies, urging further cooperation in the filling of
steamship orders.

The Committee on Final Resolutions is composed
of Messrs. Harper, A. T. Bunyard, New York; J. W.
Grandy, Norfolk, Va. ; W. B. Brown, Detroit; J. Seul-
berger, Oakland, Calif, and Geo. Geraghty, of Dun-
lop's, Ontario, Can.

Considerable satisfaction greeted the announce-
ment that the railroad certificates had gone "over the
top," with a resulting saving of some $3000 to the
delegates. Instead of their having to pay full fare
going home, the certificate privilege given would allow
them to return half fare.

Speaking for the traveling men and the florist sup-
ply houses, Sam Seligman urged an extension of the
associate membership to include all such representa-
tives. This was referred to the board of directors for
future discussion.

The Address of "Our Philip Breitmeyer"

As President of the F. T. D. A., at its Business

Meeting Held at Baltimore, Md.,

Oct. 10 to 12, 1922

The warmth of your greeting leaves me proud and
happy as it becomes my pleasure once more to address
you in assemblage at this business meeting. I am
glad to say that general reports indicate a very suc-
cessful year, the clouds have rolled away, normalcy
has returned, many have reconstructed their business
machinery and are now prepared for another pros-
perous year.

It is not my intention to weary you with extended
remarks regarding the work done this past year. 1
shall endeavor to be brief in my message and touch
only upon the things which seem to me wise. How-
ever, should I omit any important measures, please
remember there is another year; furthermore, it is
your meeting and I trust that your interest and confi-
dence in your organization will induce you to offer
your helpful suggestions as you have done in the
past and that each member, including those of long
standing as well as our new members will participate
freely for a grander up-to-the minute F. T. D. Asso-
ciation.

It has often been said what a wonderful organiza-
tion the florists have built in the Florists Telegraph
Delivery. Quite frequently it has been admitted that
it would not be possible in any other profession. Con-
sidering the truth of this statement we should be
very proud indeed. It is only a few years since some
55 men organized and laid the foundation for this
splendid association. I remember and I must con-
fess how selfish the motives were, afraid that un-
desirable men would join our ranks, but what a dif-
fence today, with our 2500 moving onward.

The growth which has come to us has only strength-
ened our belief that to practice justice and brotherly
love is the greatest thing in life. Sometimes, I won-
der if we are grateful enough. During my term of
office I have had occasion to watch the stupendous
growth and have seen and understood the improved
conditions which have been made possible through
education, resulting in a closer relationship, which
has created in our members a wider knowledge of
men and a desire to eliminate selfishness — the cause
of so many failures — I regret to state that we have at
this time a few members who hesitate to be liberal
with their fellow men. It is our privilege to offer
our assistance and the example which we set will
create an impression leading to good, instead of caus-
tic remarks full of hatred and envy. The Father loves
his children and has made each one of them good,
and it is our duty to show each other loving con-
sideration. It is not to be assumed that all problems
have been solved. I refer to limiting our membership.
It has come to my notice many times that a certain
member objects to his neighbor as a fellow member.
In my opinion this is a wrong attitude and should be
carefully considered. We have some 19 members in
Detroit and I venture to say that if 50 more joined
us, the business created would be increased in the
same proportion and naturally what applies to Detroit
would apply elsewhere.

The education in regard to credit has been mightily
interesting. We have established confidence and as-
surance and everyone knows that when an order is
executed the same will be paid for according to our
by-laws. Isn't it a comforting feeling to know your

account will be paid promptly? I know of no other
organization which guarantees its members payment
of their accounts. Do you? Can you appreciate what
this one detail means in business dealing?

Yes, there are a few who do not confine themselves
to discipline, who trust and know that our goal is
100 per cent efficiency and it won't be long before the
sacred accounts will be no more.

It isn't good for any of us to have things too much
our own way, a certain amount of vinegar seems to
he needed to* put the fighting spirit into us and credit
from one end of the globe to the other opens up won-
derful opportunities Lack of understanding same,
however, will undermine and destroy these possibili-
ties. We have given special attention to the matter
of improving the methods on credit. I do hope aU
our members have read carefully all the food for
thought as it appeared in the F. T. D. News, our
magazine which covers all subjects in their turn, en-
couraging us to apply the ideas to our own business.
Our organization stands for strength. Our motto
is Faith, "Truth and Determination. The joining of
these words are so appropriate to the labor we per-
form. We stand proudly on our record. Our loyal
friend Pochelon brought the motto to our notice. We
have built our business on Faith, therefore, we have
faith in all our members. Truth is the strongest of
all words and means fidelity of man to man, and we
should apply this motto whenever we fill an order.
It should be our Determination never to leave an
order unfilled no matter how much inconvenience we
may be subjected to. Determine to give your brother
Service. If only we could realize the power of our
combined efforts, we could render service to our asso-
ciation affiliated to our profession as well as to the
world in general.

Change of By-Laws

In order that we may function properly and be
"within the law" your directors have prepared an
amendment to our by-laws. A copy of these changes
have been mailed to you and I trust you have given
them sincere perusal in order that you can intelli-
gently vote on the passing of same. We shall then
be prepared to carry on such business for the better-
ment of our association and which should have your
approval.

The F. T. D. News

It is a pleasure to me and it must be satisfying
generally to know that those in charge of this work
have never shirked from any duty imposed upon
them. This long needed magazine speaks for itself.
Never in the history of our profession have we re-
ceived anything half so valuable as our News. No
effort has been spared to make the News strong and
effective. I am sure you all rejoice with me in ex-
pressing our gratitude to God for this wonderful
achievement. I would feel guilty of my duty if I
failed to speak of this magnificent work. We have
received many comments from our members, not as
many perhaps as we had expected. Won't all the
members please let us have their views? Only a short
time ago we began with 64 pages, our last edition
contained ISO pages of interesting reading matter,
splendid reproductions of store interiors, windows, a
complete directory, a supplement list of members,
up-to-the-minute advertising, etc., everything for the
benefit of its members. We should certainly be proud
of its management which has shown such broad
vision in all its ideas. No ulterior motives are shown
here ; everything is for the good of the F. T. D.

I am happy to have been associated with such men
as Mr. Pochelon, Mr. Bloy, Mr. Swenson and the
force who have given the best of their ability to the
faithful performance of their duties. Allow me at
this time to express my sincere thanks for the many
members who have contributed the different articles,
the photoengravings giving us ideas for improve-
ment and to the enterprising advertisers who so lib-
erally displayed their advertisements. It is gratify-
ing to know that they will receive their remunera-
tion. My greater thanks are due to the editor and
his staff for their excellent work. We all knew that
Mike would make good ; truly he is one of the finest
blooms in our garden. .

Publicity and Advertising

Uppermost in my mind is the fact that a National
Publicity Committee exists and the splendid work
they are doing has not been properly assisted by
many of our members who can well afford to do more
financially. It is true and, trust I am not mistaken
that means are developing by which a positive sum
will be realized for this work. It behooves us brother
F. T. D.ites to be in the front ranks in furnishing
our proportion for so worthy a cause.

There are many methods of bringing before the
public that which will create a desire for flowers and
show the people how and where to use them. We can
safely say there is no limit to the demand that can
be created. Recently an old custom was revived, one

which used to be kept up on all occasions, and which
proved a great factor in increased sale. A stock letter
reminding the persons of where they could send ap-
propriate flowers for occasion, brought orders un-
dreamed of, namely over $1000. I doubt, if they had
not been reminded, if any of the contributors would
have sent flowers on this occasion. Personal solicita-
tion by letter or if deemed Wise, by night letter, will
assist in creating new business.

A follow up letter to the old customers (whom we so
often think we have for life) pleases them. A per-
sonal touch, and a word of appreciation augurs well
for a continuance of their patronage. How true it is
that "a touch of nature makes the whole world kin."
All advertising is closely associated to publicity and
it is our duty to be alert and apply our talent daily.

Aside from this business motive for advertising,
there is another good reason for making advertise-
ments as attractive as possible — the pleasure of the
people whom we are endeavoring to interest.

So let us try for efficiency in the highest degree and
then we can rest assured that happiness and pros-
perity will be ours.

Competition in Window Display

We have caught the spirit of Service and as each
year rolls by, it proves the greater value of this in-
novation established a few years ago in Detroit. I
am pleased to note the wonderful progress made.
Each year eclipses the other, and we shall be show-
ered with delight when our Baltimore merchants
prove their skill and show a keen friendly rivalry
along these lines.

I am glad to know that the idea has become a daily
practice, instead of a yearly custom. We have been
told that the show window is our best salesman and
I believe this statement has been found to be very
true. Nothing creates a desire as much as the dis-
play one makes of the goods one has to sell. Then,
too, like a good housekeeper one should carry the idea
of display from the show window to the rear or your
shop ; don't stop anywhere in order to prove to the
customer that you are 100 per cent in display and
cleanliness.

A neat bowl filled with flowers and a small price
tag often creates a sale; a few flowers artistically
arranged speak a volume of •words. Sometimes masses
of flowers attract attention, but the simple artistic
effect backed by profusion of color in season is good
advertising. So why not make use of it daily?

I. am sure we are making progress, yet the greater
work lies ahead in order that this great unit of the
F. T. D. shall become a living, vital, dynamic organi-
zation, in this country of ours.

To the warrior belongs the spoils, so for the florist
members great benefits are in store.

Employer and Employee

A closer relationship between employer and em-
ployee has long been in the minds of all thinking men,
and why not, since by association we get cooperation.
Surely loyalty of employees can only be gained by
the confidence and consideration given. That human
touch of appreciation makes for harmony and with
this in your establishment there is no room for dis-
cord.

I have found it wise to teach cost of doing business
to all of the employees and it is well for them to
realize that there is a reason for charging three to
one. With this knowledge they make real associates
in your business and we all reap the benefits of co-
operation. I am pleased to see many of these asso-
ciates with us at our business meetings and I trust
that they will take back home with them the spirit
of cooperation as outlined at these meetings. There
are many methods which need renovating but first
comes the real understanding between employer and
employee. No one is infallible, but it means much to
have a heart, and this works both ways. Cooperation
in a business such as the florists means service and
in order to maintain the high standard required in
our profession we all must work together, from the
cellar boy (if you have one) to the head of the house.
Join cooperation with service and surely success will
follow.

Education in this instance becomes a factor and its
aim is to improve and uplift the line of thought, this
in turn eliminates mistakes which are sometimes cost-
ly and renders their services more valuable both to
the employer and themselves. It fits men and women
for better citizenship, better individual growth and
usefulness. The application of all these bring the
right results.

Board of Directors

It is needless for me to comment on behalf of your
directorate. The standing of these men in their re-
spective communities is unexcelled. Each year I have
asked you to carefully consider the value of their
experience as well as their character, connected as
they are in the profession. I would sincerely regret
having to lose those members whose terms expire

this year, but I have an assurance that we will find
others who are willing to cooperate in order that we
may move a little closer to the goal we are striving
for. Naturally the tried-out, successful, willing and
able business man is the right material for results.
Therefore, once again I appeal to your earnest con-
sideration. Many men believe they are capable, as
undoubtedly they are, but from my personal experi-
ence and observation, I have found that faithful, true
and determined men are few and it is well to keep
the tried-out ones in harness.

Personally my heart is filled with gratitude for the
splendid cooperation the directors have given me dur-
ing the past three years and I cheerfully retire with a
feeling of rejoicing knowing that each one of them
has served lovingly inspired by the good they were
doing for all mankind. Especially am I grateful for
the experience and loyalty received from the home
officers, from the heads down to the minor associate,
and to them, each and every one, I offer my thanks.

District Representation

There is much good and some bad that can be said
of the district representative. Those who have served
the interest well, I hope and trust their loyalty will
increase as the time goes on. Those who have seem-
ingly been uninterested and disloyal I would like to
ask for better cooperation. The wise man always tries
to do something for his fellowmen, and surely he
cannot expect to reap unless he gives freely of his
knowledge. We hope our field manager will get the
healthy support of all our members and we at home
surely* will bless you for all your kindly cooperation.
This unit of the F. T. D. will ultimately be the nu-
cleus of our board of directors and working body.
I can fully realize the time when our organization
will have delegates from every district in the United
States and Canada. Why not from all parts of Eu-
rope. Our foreign representative Mr. Engelmann, who
has kindly paid his respects at this meeting from his
home district is a proof of the loyalty the foreign
membership holds for our organization. I trust ho
will take a breath of enthusiasm and return to his
country much impressed with the methods we have
employed and the achievements we have gained, and
that lie will be inspired to go on further in his work
and watch his business grow.

Weekly Price List

Many have expressed their appreciation of the
weekly information on prices prevailing throughout
the country. Some, however, seem to think it an
unnecessary expense. I should appreciate a discus-
sion on this subject.

The Field Manager

Mere words cannot express my sincere appreciation
in being able to procure the consent of that very able
and beloved friend, Mr. Ammann, to associate himself
with our organization. The title he carries is a broad
one which requires much work, great ability and keen
foresight. This new position which has been created
in our organization has completed a working force,
a final unit for complete administration. We are to
be congratulated for the wisdom and conservative
council he will render. Mr. Ammann is a man of
rare caliber and ability, so much needed in cementing
the brotherhood of American florists.

His work for goodfellowsnip is well known among
us and I am sure he will be much appreciated in
his new work. Our gratitude is here expressed
to him for the sacrifice he makes of home and family.
In the line of service man receives his greatest re-
wards. Let us sincerely wish our new field manager
will find happiness along the way, by the fact of his
knowing he has our keen support for the service he
renders.

Your F. T. D. Directors

Your F. T. D. directors have considered the neces-
sity of establishing a greater publicity bureau for the
distribution of advertising matter which can be se-
cured at a lower cost to its members. It has made
some progress in this line, but there is an increased
demand for this work and we should prepare to fill
the want. It will become a part of the field work
unit which can be of great help in our general pub-
licity. The way we are situated in our print shop,
with the paraphernalia we have acquired we are in
a position to execute any work of this kind. Mr. Bloy
will enlighten you in regard to the possibilities in
store for you. He can also inform you of the ad
vancement we have made in the printing of the F. T
D. News.

The Clearing House Plan

A clearing house for the F. T. D. is another step it
the right direction, and like all big problems it will
require men of ability and sincerity to plan a working
clearing house proposition. Up to the present time
we have never made a step without thorough consid-
eration of the problem before us. We have this ques-
tion somewhat solved and the committee appointed

1006

The Florists Exchange

will give you their report and I trust you will discuss
and wisely consider the matter.

I have expressed my hearty cooperation for the
clearing house idea and I do so again. Nevertheless,
I shall miss writing the cheques on the 10th of the
month. Although a task, this labor has always been
a pleasure to me, I have enjoyed writing the names
of many of my acquaintances. However, this is only
a personal matter.

Progress is the law of life and I want to be pro-
gressive. I hope the clearing house plan will be fa-
vorably acted on and put into operatiou as soon as the
proper officers can install the system.

Miss Jarvis

Just a few words in regard to the publicity of
Miss Jarvis. When our mutual friends of Philadel-
phia conceived the idea of cooperating with her we
recognized the act of brotherly love (emblematic of
their city) and felt that it would be well to establish
a similar sentiment for all the florists in the United
States, thereby stimulating harmony and cooperation
instead of discontent. So far your officers have no
obligation, but I do think that some working plan
can be worked out by your officers which will bring
harmony and peace to all concerned.

There is glory in life that is full of contentment,
and the least we can do for the founder of "Mother's
Day" is to give our hearty support to a movement of
such humanitarian and constructive character.

I am deeply grateful for the kindly cooperation
which you have shown me during my term of office.
It will always be a pleasant recollection to me. Once
again I thank you. — : ■ —

Report of Secretary Albert Pochelon

Ten years ago in August in a hot Summer's heat in
that hot, hustling town of Chicago Somebody wished
a job on me, because he knew at that time how
timid I was to get up and say something. And I
didn't. Not a word was I able to say.

Today this is a different proposition. After dig-
ging into the F. T. D. in every nook and corner and
making studies everywhere by the constant central-
ization of our members knowledge and wisdom in
our F. T. D. office, I can assure you that if you would
get me started to give you a talk on all the various
angles of this organization you would have to be
here until next week.

Therefore. I ask you to spare yourself and me,
to go into details, as we will come during this en-
tire meeting to various points and it will be much
more interesting to bring them out then.

Our greatest and most dangerous obstacle within
our organization, yes, within ourselves, is not nearly
as big a factor as it was ten years ago, because too
many of our members have learned that giving and
helping brings better and greater results than just
taking and getting while the getting is good..

Every argument and every bit of trouble between
members and your office and organization has always
been traced down to perhaps one object and that was
selfish motives and selfish gain.

Cooperation the wonderful and so much used word
in our F. T. D. organization is only of any conse-
quence if you start to apply same in your immediate
home, shop and vicinity. When you have this accom-
plished do not hesitate.to let it radiate over the entire
world.

Don't tell me it is hard to cooperate, it is not.
If you are willing to sacrifice a little for a time
being, in the long run this sacrifice will be a benefit
to you.

A detailed report of the secretary would not give
you nearly the understanding and would be tiresome
to listen to. But as this meeting progresses you will
find that each unit of your F. T. D. office is- fully
able to give you a concise report and if anything is
not perfectly clear to you, remember we have looked
up in Webster's what the word cooperation means.

No one can be prouder, yes, overjoyed with the
great good this organization has brought about and
which has meant so many times temporary enemies
and controversies and which has had so many obsta-
cles to overcome.

Pray thank those who have stood by our pennant,
who have had enough faith in our principles and who
were determined to carry this pennant so the florists
of the entire world will esteem its meaning.

It is true that ten years ago our little F. T. D.
army of solid believers was but a skeleton squad,
but today you have an army which is fit to take on
any worthy proposition and carry it through.

We have outgrown the single cylinder thinking idea
and how I can ever thank those who have made the
present F. T. D. and worked as faithfully as they
did, is beyond me.

It is a great pleasure for me to thank them all at
this time before all of you present. It is their most
sincere cooperation and belief in this work of ours
that has made possible the success of today and that

will make possible greater progress a greater future
and, last but not least, a finer and nobler understand-
ing between our members in their business transac-
tions as well as in their daily life.

Developing the Steamship Business

By H. G. Perry, Vice-president of Dards, Inc.,

New York. Read before the F. T. D. Meeting,

Baltimore. Oct. 10 to 12

MR. PRESIDENT and fellow members of the
F. T. D., you have extended a great privilege
to the firm of Dards, poorly represented by
myself, in allowing me to swap experiences, and state
a few facts relating to the volume of steamer business
in the East. I will not trespass on your patience by
making this subject too tedious, or protracted, but
will get right down to "Hard Pan" by simply outlin-
ing our experience. As some you know, we have spe-
cialized in steamer trade for nearly 50 years, owing
to our very central location in the heart of the busi-
ness, hotel and club district of New York City, so
perhaps a few words on this rapidly growing trade
may not come amiss.

The Selection of Flowers for Corsages

Now as to appropriate flower selections. Let us
take the young lady or young matron, perhaps mak-
ing her- first trip abroad. Nothing could be better,
or give more real pleasure than an attractive corsage.
Every woman likes to be popular, and wearing this
token of regard gives her a feeling of natural and jus-
tifiable pride, and creates just the right impression on ■
her friends saying the last "Farewell," before the siren
sounds for "All Ashore."

Orchids, on account of their lasting qualities, give
the most satisfaction if one's patron can afford same,
but any other corsage flower will do. It is simply a
case of how far the pocket book will extend. Nothing
is better, or creates greater joy and surprise, than
a corsage laid on the breakfast table each morning of
the voyage; this can be easily arranged with the
cooperation of the steward. Of course, it comes ex-
pensive, due to the necessary extra packing, tips to
steward, etc. One has to be most careful as to the
selection of flowers, especially for the last days of
the voyage. We use tin corsage boxes for this work,
on account of their strength, and being air tight.

No order should be taken, even when the selection
is left to the florist, for less than $50; this is the
minimum amount for which an order of this kind can
be successfully undertaken, but many a young man in
love would think nothing of this sum or more. Many
would spend at least $75 to $100 for choice corsages,
such as orchids, Gardenias, etc., etc.

Baskets and Bouquets

In sending to more mature or elderly ladies, noth-
ing is more acceptable than an attractive basket ; the
flowers being fully arranged means a lot. They can be
used on the dining table if not set up too tall, or in
the stateroom if in larger sizes. We, ourselves, strong-
ly recommend the basket, but not unless a patron is
ready to spend at least $10. Again, what is more
pleasing than a beautiful box of Rose buds, specially
selected varieties, to last for several days of the
voyage? But any flower will be satisfactory if chosen
with an eye to keeping qualities. I can assure you,
having made fourteen trips across the old Atlantic,
that when one is out of sight of land, and one feels
a bit homesick, or seasick, nothing cheers more than
a few flowers ; that is why they are such popular
gifts.

For the man, a nice box of red Roses will go right
to the spot, or even a basket, but as men are not usu-
ally recipients of this kind of favor, we will not
waste more time on him.

Get the Stateroom Number

I would suggest that you ask your salesman to
try and obtain the deck and stateroom number when-
ever possible, as this saves time in the delivery on
board, and makes it much easier for the steamship
companies. They are then able to dispatch the gift,
right to the stateroom; otherwise they must consult
the passenger list, and with thousands of gifts such
as flowers, fruit, etc., etc., piling, delay is more often
than not the case. I realize that very often, the
sender does not have this information, but they can
easily obtain same; if we educate our customers
along these lines, it will be much appreciated by the
steamship people.

Let the Actual Delivery Be Early

Now as to actual delivery there is no trouble in
same at all. I believe the impression prevails that
deliveries are rather complicated, such is not the case.
All one has to do is to get them to the boat early, to
avoid the great rush and the more or less confusion

when the passengers arrive, with their numerous
friends saying "Good-Bye." We ourselves, usually,
open at 6 to 7 a.m. on heavy steamer days — we never
pack an order the night before — so that we can get
down to the docks early. This is very much appre-
ciated by the companies, and one's boxes, baskets,
etc., are given much better care and attention. In a
great many cases, if delivered before 9 a.m., when a
steamer sails at noon, the stewards will take one's
orders direct to the stateroom, especially if one uses
a little grease to oil the wheels, but if they come late,
or in the passenger rush, orders are often left till the
boat is well out from shore, sometimes hours elapse
before the recipients receive their respective box,
baskets, etc. If the order happens to be a delicate
basket of Roses, etc., in the Winter time, and it is per-
haps laid near a steam pipe for several hours, one
can imagine what it looks like on arriving to its
owner. This is very often the case, and that is why
we are so very particular to get on the job early.
One makes friends with the different officials this
way, and that means a whole lot, as the company is
not responsible for the condition of these orders. It
would be hard to prove that they were the culprits
anyway, so try and get your orders in as early as
possible; it means a whole lot to all involved. How-
ever, last minute orders, telegrams, etc., etc., are han-
dled to the best of one's ability, and through long
experience we think we have some pretty good
friends with steamship stewards and others.

The Class of Package

On account of the delay that often happens in the
delivery of flowers, perhaps lying for hours in the
lobby of the boat, after she has actually sailed, we
use a special box, never a folding one. We also wrap
each box in heavy manilla paper, so as to insure as
far as possible, good delivery. We never cut a box
for long stemmed flowers, so that the stems are pro-
truding, because this would only simply be an annoy-
ance to the stewards, and make the delivery that
much the harder. It's also necessary to always use
a paster address as well as a tag. One must remem-
ber that these boxes are given pretty rough usage, and
so one must guard against every weakness. They are
not handled by florists, but by stewards, and that
makes a difference.

Ensuring Quick Delivery

To overcome the delay in delivery after flowers are
on boat, and so that the recipients can know and ob-
tain their property with a minimum of delay, we
have for many years been seding what we call a
"Steamer letter," which reads as follows:

New York 192. .

M

Dear

You will please find on board

a of flowers with a card enclosed.

When the above is received, will you be kind
enough to sign and mail the enclosed postal by pilot,
if possible, and oblige. Respectfully,

General Manager.
A stamped post card, addressed to ourselves is en-
closed in this letter, reading as follows:

New York, 192..

M

S. S

Received from a

Flowers in good order.

(Signature.)

These letters we deliver to the Purser's office. Now
the first thing a passenger does on boarding the ship
is to go to the Purser's office and obtain his or her
mail, and naturally he or she gets this letter, and so
knows that a package is actually on the boat await-
ing their pleasure, so that if delivery is not made
promptly to their state room, they call the steward
and demand same. This assures quick delivery and
avoids the rough usage that flowers are apt to get.
The postcard is mailed back to us by the pilot, and
I may say that we get about 70 per cent returns on
these cards. This service is much appreciated by
our patrons and overcomes a lot of troubles and dif-
ficulties, also proving actual delivery as the return
card is signed by the passenger.

Company Receipts

If orders are delivered to the boat two hours be-
fore sailing time, nearly all the large companies issue
a receipt for each package. This is more or less a
recent improvement with some companies, however,
as only a short time ago several would not sign our
receipts, or issue one themselves, but steamship serv-
ice as in all other lines is steadily improving.

The Florists Exchange

1007

We hare now covered briefly tbe selection of flow-
ers, their appropriate value, the packing, delivery,
obtaining of receipts, etc., etc. This, in the main, I
feel, covers the subject, but just one word as to the
tremendous possibilities of this fast expanding branch
of our trade. By the use of advertising, and giving
the right amount of publicity to this particular branch
we all can increase these numbers of orders to a large
extent. Thousands and thousands are going abroad
now every Summer; I mean those who go for pleas-
ure, especially with prohibition in effect, and every
florist, whether at a shipping port or in the heart of
the country, can get his share of this trade, by talk-
ing it up, and letting his patrons know he can handle
same. It's a pretty small burg that has not one or
two making a trip across the Atlantic or Pacific dur-
ing the course of the year's business. Sailings are
going to be greatly on the increase from now on, es-
pecially as conditions better themselves abroad, as
they are rapidly doing. Let us all pull together on
this important development of steamer business ; we
can all profit by same.

I trust I have not taken up too much valuable
time in roughly outlining a few facts as they present
themselves to me, but allow me to take this opportu-
nity of thanking you all for this chance of saying a
few words on this subject.

The Future of an F. T. D. Temple

By IRWIN BERTERMANN

It does not take so much vision nor does it neces-
i sitate many figures to realize that this wonderful or-
ganization will have a permanent building. The reason

for this building lies largely in tbe fact that it will
be an inspiration for the younger generation of flo-
rists and a permanent foundation for the accomplish-
ments of this one. The editor of The Floeists Ex-
change, in 1918, 1921, and again in 1922, has foretold
in a prophecy much that has transpired in actuality
since then. One of the principal features of this
prophecy, to be visualized by 1930, was the attendant
ceremonies at the dedication of a new F. T. D. Temple.
The writer, firmly believes that this will be accom-
plished before 1925 instead of 1930.

The large educational institutions of the country
in floriculture, and the individual efforts in classes
of retail florists, demonstrate clearly that there is a
big field for educational work, particularly from a
practical standpoint. It would certainly be a grand
opportunity for youngsters to listen to the instructive
lectures of the self made florists of the country in a
temple as is now contemplated. Large insurance
companies, corporations, labor organizations and
other national groupings of business men, maintain
a national home because it gives prestige, is a good
investment, and makes for safety of the finances of
the organization.

In viewing this building from a practical financial
basis, let us assume that we invest our guarantee fund
of $60,000, together with other earnings of $15,000.
This would give us $75,000, liquid enough for all
demands made upon it, such as retiring members and
other slow funds. In considering our membership of
2500, shares $100 each, it will be readily seen that our
association will have little difficulty in securing the
necessary pledges, namely $250,000, which would be
an investment for those participating. This amount
could be returned to those who retire from member-
ship and could also be made to earn a modest rate
of interest. The speaker believes that a fund of

$250,000 is available almost any time our association
appeals for it.

There are many other detail features, but the
speaker at this time simply wants to make for a
speedy beginning of that which he is sure will make
for a most successful end.

Blackistone's Blanket Spray

The "Modus Operandi" as demonstrated by
Z. D. Blackistone before the F. T. D. A. at
Baltimore

SELECT any ordinary dressed board about 36in.
long and Sin. to lOin. wide. Moss this up firmly.
Starting from the two ends and working to the
center, cover this thinly (not densely) withi hardy
fern, Laurel or any cheap, rough green. This is the
groundwork. Next take a 50c. bunch of Asparagus
plumosus (long sprays preferred) and fill in, again
working from the ends to the center, letting the fronds
project out ISin. to 24in. This is the second operation.
Next, the flowers of which any kind may be used.
To be specific, we will select white 'Mumsand Roses
of any color.

Again working from the ends stick one 'Mum in the
center of each end to project about 12in., one in each
corner to project about 9in., and four along each side
of the design working toward the center, so that, on
each side, three point one way and three the other.
Fourteen flowers are thus used, and we have the
foundation for the Blackistone Blanket Spray. Next
arrange ten flowers, from 6in. to lOin. long working
from ends to center so they will be symmetrically
distributed over the space inside of the foundation

already explained. This gives a total of 24 'Mums
used.

Next make on a No. IS wire a bow (with four
loops and two ends) of handsome ribbon or lOin.
fancy chiffon and arrange it in the center of the de-
sign. Next select four dozen large half open Roses.
The stems need not be long but the flowers should be
handsome. If the stems are stiff they need not be
wired. Intersperse them between the 'Mums, thinly
toward the ends and closer together in middle, work-
ing up to the ribbon which is already in place.

This finishes the design except for a spray of green
or a flower here and there when needed. The design
practically covers the entire top of the casket.

The total cost, according to our experience, is about
as follows :

formal, this dinner was favored with some good talks
from Phil Breitmeyer, Mr. Sceery, Max Schling, Carl
Engelmaon, the ever-worth-listening-to Chas. Grake-
low and others, the trend of all the little speeches
being along the line of "what the F. T. D. has meant
to me in friendships and other things outside street
business."

As the feast drew to a close, Win. F. Ekas, for the .
Baltimore Florists Club, invited the whole party
across the street to the Royal Arcanum Building, to
take part in the club's regular monthly meeting.
Again the responses and acceptances were unanimous
and, although routine business had to somewhat "go
by the board" to give the visitors an opportunity to
say a few words, a good time was indeed "had by
all present."

Then back to the Emerson to mingle with the new
arrivals who kept coming in a steady stream — just like
the rain — well into the wee sma' hours.

$12.50
We get from $35 to $50 for the design.
If we find the customer willing to pay for some-
thing out of the ordinary we can easily recommend
adding Valley, orchids, Violets, etc., to make the
piece cost $100 or more.

The advantages of this design are as follows:

1. The moss may be moistened so as to make flow-
ers last much longer than in a tied spray.

2. It is much easier to arrange.

3. With a given amount of stock double the effect
may be attained.

4. It is a much easier article to sell to particular
customers who do not want set pieces and who have
been in the habit of paying $5 to $15 for the ordinary
tied spray. They cannot see the value when you talk
$50 or $100.

5. In military funerals and for certain caskets
where a blanket cannot be used, the blanket spray
fills the bill exactly.

6. It is not only very profitable, giving the florists
a good return for his knowledge and art, but it in-
variably satisfies the customer.

Some Pleasing Preliminaries

Half the fun of a big gathering is often found in
the spontaneous, unarranged for seances that precede
the main event. It sure is remarkable how, when
two or three or a dozen florists gather together, the
spirit of companionship, geniality and mutual hospi-
tality rises up and takes charge of things.

For instance, as early as Sunday evening, those
who had sniffed the impending good times from afar,
began to assemble in the Emerson lobby and out of
this casual meeting developed a jolly little dinner at
the Hotel Rennert, for which some members of the
Baltimore craft were hosts of a score or more appre-
ciative visitors. And then, before that delightful
affair came to a close, Ed. Sceery, of Paterson, N. J.,
had extended an invitation to all present to be his
guests at an informal dinner on Monday evening,
each person to "bring a friend." Did they accept?
We'll say so — and not only the original 25, but more
and more, until fully a hundred had heard the good
news and hied themselves hither. Although also in-

R. Vincent, Jr. & Sons Co. Annual Dahlia Show
at White Marsh, Md.

THE Dahlia Show has been a feature every Fall
with R. Vincent, Jr. & Sons Co. and each suc-
ceeding exhibition has added new and well
earned glory to this ever progressive and enterprising
firm. But never have we witnessed a more complete
triumph of the King of Autumn, than was this year
planned, staged and carried to a wonderfully artistic
finish by young "Rich." Vincent and his able assis-
tants. . The exhibition hall was never more artistically
or more effectively handled. The almost total ab-
sence of tables added greatly to the effect of the
staging.

The newest and most conspicuous feature was the
staging and first introduction of the firm's two new
seedlings, "Merritt" and "Joan of Arc." A vase of the
former is pictured in the accompanying illustration.
The name "Merritt" is a tribute to the memory of
that noble Christian woman, the late Mrs. Richard
Vincent, Jr., whose maiden name was Annie E. Mer-
ritt.

In the show ground Merritt shows an exceptionally
long straight stem, with flowers well above the foli-
age. It is a Decorative Cactus show type of the most
pleasing clear sulphur yellow. The flower is built
high in the center and can be grown to a 4ft. stem.
It is truly a wonderful commercial Dahlia.

Joan of Arc is another wonder flower among aristo-
cratic Dahlias. It is of large size and like Merritt
is highly productive. A mauve pink in color with sul-
phur sheen and carried on a long stiff stem it is des-
tined to become another great commercial cut flower
variety of the Patrick O'Mara type. These two Dahl-
ias have not been listed in the 1923 delivery list, but
will be disseminated later.

Of the other seedlings grown by the firm and to be
offered for sale next Spring are Warren S. Seipp,
Judge Duncan, Judge Preston, Judge Offut, Rotarian,
Kiwanis, Patapsco, Joppa, Conowingo, Barkis, Can-
teen, Hollywood, Fraser, and numerous other fancy

The exhibits of Patrick O'Mara, that great cut
flower Dahlia, were a study in artistic decorations.

The second illustration shows an effective presenta-
tion with small gift baskets arranged for effect and
color. This shows the splendid adaptability of the
Dahlia as a show flower in all kinds of basket work.

Palms, ferns .and foliage plants were largely used
with the Dahlia flowers in the arrangement of the
exhibition hall. A large panel of Dahlias with the
S. A. F. slogan, "Say it with Flowers," erected at the
rear of the hall was immensely impressive. A large
and well executed horseshoe design was also attrac-
tive.

To the right of the offices at the main entrance was
a picture frame fashioned out of small Dahlias with a
golden half vase of glorious Patrick O'Mara flowers
in bold relief as the center. This covered a space
Sft.x6ft., and was one of the gems of the exhibition.

In the fields this year heavy rains on one or two
occasions played sad havoc by flooding some of the
patches and cutting deep water runways across the
roads, but despite all this the plants never have shown
a better growth or a more glorious riot of bloom. The
absence of any disease, throughout the entire plant-
ing is most gratifying.

In the Canna patches the growth is remarkable and
acre after acre of color was very pleasing to the eye
of every visitor.

Through the kindness of Tom Stevenson, your corre-
spondent was enabled to make this memorable trip
and while visiting the fern block in the houses to the
west of the packing sheds, he remarked that he had
seen ferns before, but never under glass, by the acre.
Thousands upon thousands are grown there annually.
And think of 300,000 Geraniums in 2in. and 3in. pots
now in stock ready for shipment.

A word about the attendance this year. It is esti-
mated that 60,000 visitors attended during the five
days of the exhibition. On Thursday Gov. Richie and
his official family were present and many members of
local as well as out of town clubs journeyed many
miles to pay homage to the Autumn King.

New York Florists Club

An Interesting Meeting

At the Vincent Dahlia Shaw — Theater, Presentation, and Gift Baskets, arranged for effect and color.

SOME seventy members assembled at the Engi-
neers' Building under the presidency of Roman
J. Irwin, on Oct. 9. Interesting visitors were:
S. S. Pennock, president of the S. A. F. and O. H.,
Philadelphia ; Henry Penn of Boston ; George Asmus
of Chicago, C. C. Pollworth of Milwaukee, and Major
O'Keefe of Boston.

The minutes of the previous meeting having been
accepted without comment, Secretary John Young
read the resolutions on the deaths of John H. Rod-
man and of J. Max Nitzschke; the same formally
acknowledged and ordered to be entered upon the
records of the club, and copies forwarded to the
relatives of the deceased.

New Members

The following nominations submitted at the previ-
ous meeting were read by the secretary, and on mo-
tion, were duly elected as members. Only one new
nomination was made, viz. : J. H. Andrews, vice-
president of the American Greenhouse Co. The new
members are: John Murray Harris, 43 Barclay St.,
New York ; Fowler Marsden Lawrence, New York ;
Peter Reis, Union Hill, N. J. ; Lester Ortiz, Bernards-
Yille, N. J.

After a short recess, the secretary read a letter
received from the Ohio District of the National
Flower Growers Association, relating to the grading
:8f cut flowers. The secretary stated that this letter
had been sent out to all the florist clubs of the
country and that it had also come before the S. A. F.
Committee. He thought it desirable that for the
time being, the letter should be laid over until a
more suitable occasion, when it would be given further
consideration.

Committee Reports

Only Charles Totty, chairman of the Show Com-
mittee, had anything to report. He stated that the
preliminary schedule for the Spring show had been
distributed, and he asked that all who had any pro-
position to make in the way of new classes, would
submit them to the secretary as early as possible,
as it is desired to get the final schedule out in good
time. So far as he could ascertain, there was every
prospect of the show being at least equal to that of
last year ; but that if they desired to surpass last
year's they would certainly have to get going.

Secretary Young mentioned that four-fifths of the
trade space had been booked up ; practically the en-
tire lower floor was filled, and that only some few
hundred feet remained vacant on the upper floor. In
passing, Mr. Young referred to the fact that their
great Spring show had been prompted through the
success of the S. A. F. National Show held some
five years ago ; he thought it was fitting to mention
this fact, seeing that they had the president of the
S. A. F. with them.

President Irwin then called upon S. S. Pennock
to make some remarks. Mr. Pennock expressed his
pleasure in being present, and said that he was par-
ticularly gratified to know that the great New York
Spring Show owed its origin to the wonderful suc-
cess of the national show held in New York by the

s. a. r.

Relating to the grading of Roses, he said that this
had long been discussed, and so far as he could see
they would eventually come to adopt a standard of
inches. Concluding, he particularly expressed his
thanks to the club for the delightful tour inaugurated
by the club after the Kansas City convention. He
had enjoyed the trip immensely.

Publicity Talk

Henry Penn being called upon to say something
regarding the publicity question, expressed himself
as amazed that the New York florists were so slow
to adopt a general publicity campaign. If they could
only realize that by starting such publicity, it would
affect not only the trade of New York, but the en-
tire country, they would never hesitate for one mo-
ment. The failure of New York florists to adopt a
general system of advertising undoubtedly served
as a greater drag on trade than anything else, be-
cause the more flowers that were sold in New York
the greater the reaction in all other cities and towns.
The influence of New York was incalculable. He
hoped that another effort would be made to push
this cooperative advertising.

Following Henry Penn's talk, George Asmus men-
tioned that this was the first meeting he had at-
tended, although he had been a member of the New
York Florists Club for some years. With regard to
publicity and the reference to cooperation by Mr.
Penn, he instanced the Woolworth Building as being
an example of cooperation. That wonderful building
had been erected with the pennies that had been sub-
scribed by the millions.

Touching on the advertising of the florists through-
out the country, he said that it was estimated that
during the year 1922 something like two and one-half
millions of dollars had been spent on advertising
flowers, but he felt fairly sure that had one-half
million of that amount been utilized in cooperative
national advertising it would have accomplished just
as much as the two and one-half millions that had
been spent piecemeal by the various florists in in-
dividual advertising.

Reverting to the National Show, he said, as chair-
man of the show committee, that it was impossible
to separate the show from advertising. The show it-
self was for the purpose of advertising flowers. He
himself had always believed that any city with a
population of 200,000 could run a national flower

show, and he looked forward to the time when they
might be able to hold such a show every year in-
stead of once in four years. It was purely a matter
of organization, and when they could perfect or-
ganization in the trade generally, every one would be
benefited materially. The question of good credits and
slow payments were things that were always upper-
most in the minds of the florists and these would
never be overcome until the florists were thoroughly
organized. It was absurd to say that the florists
were overorganized. He might cite the fact that the
theatres, organized as they are and advertising as
they do, have now come to the conclusion that coop-
erative advertising is necessary. Such an idea would
never have occurred to the minds of the theatre
people a few years ago.

Relating to what had been done in Chicago, he men-
tioned that there they had just as much difficulty in
getting started as they had in New York. He re-
called the fact that when they had at last organized
sufficiently to insure a sum of $22,000 for advertis-
ing, some thought the amount was stupendous; but
he pointed out that his own firm (Schiller's Florist)
was then spending that amount alone annually, and
were now even exceeding that amount. As is well
known, Henry Penn is spending something like $30,-
000 a year on advertising. That is for one shop, not
a chain of shops or a whole city. At times the ad-
vertising costs amount to 10 per cent to 15 per cent
of their actual receipts. But, generally speaking,
it was thought that the florist should spend from 4
per cent to 6 per cent of his total receipts on adver-
tising. Some people would say it was too much,
but he had only to mention the fact that those who
were spending such sums were people who were mak-
ing money. They had but to survey the leading lights
in the florist industry. Every man of them was a
large advertiser. As for price of flowers, these were
regulated by supply and demand. High prices were
justified if demand permitted them.

C. C. Pollworth of Milwaukee, expressed his great
pleasure in being able to visit them that evening.
It was the first occasion that he had come to New
York at a time when the club was in session, although
he had traveled a great deal. The man who stays at
home and does not go outside of his own city limits,
can usually be written down as a dead one.

With regard to the question of advertising and the
great influence which New York exerts on the coun-
try generally — he cited one or two instances where
people from hisi own city had come to New York and
made big purchases of goods, only to have them de-
livered by the manufacturers in Milwaukee.

Touching upon the cooperative advertising in Mil-
waukee, it was gratifying to him to be able to say
that every florist in that city was in it 100 per cent.
They had started out on the one per cent basis; last
year they raised it to two per cent, and it is now
proposed to raise it to three per cent.

Major O'Keefe, the well known advertising expert,
was next called upon, and he expressed his apprecia-
tion of having the opportunity of saying a few words,
although the previous speakers had not left many
openings. He would maintain, however, that New
York florists should be doing the greatest volume of
cooperative advertising in the country. When you
consider that New York has between 90,000 and 100,-
000 visitors every day, and remember that all those
visitors are potential buyers, it should be self-evident
that the more flowers the New York florists can sell,
the more trade it will generate throughout the coun-
try, because a person buying flowers here would prob-
ably think to do the same thing elsewhere.

The receipts for the National Publicity Fund from
the New York area were not proportionately so good
as from other centers, and it was a source of amaze-
ment to him that the New York florists should give
the fund such poor support. Contributions to the
National Fund were really not contributions, but
actual investments. Publicity saves loss to florists.
Florists are not in competition with one another;
their actual competitors are other merchants such as
those who had distorted the florists' slogan, includ-
ing candy, jewelry and other lines of merchandise.
He felt that the New Yorkers had not thoroughly
grasped the meaning or the power of publicity as
it applied to the florists' trade. After all, there was
no practical difference between manufacturers of
hardware or hosiery, and growers of plants. There-
fore, if the retail florists would not support the cam-
paign sufficiently, the growers should carry it along
themselves. He declared that if the florists of New
York would erect a sign as big as any of those now
present on Broadway, or bigger, the effect would be
far-reaching. Having seen all the workings of the
National Publicity Committee, he desired to express
his admiration for it, giving as it does 35 per cent of
the time of the members, not to benefit themselves,
but the trade as a whole, and yet, out of the 17,000

florists in the United States, only 1500 have ever
dipped down into their pockets to aid this publicity.

Called upon by President Irwin, A. M. Henshaw,
chairman of the Allied Florists Association of New
York, explained in some detail their efforts to put
over the publicity campaign in this city. He believed
there was something like 3000 florists in the radius
of New York. Six hundred of them were members
of the club, but less than 70 of them were present
that evening. Yet he dared venture to say that from
among those present, came the money that the Allied
Association had managed to collect. It was all very
well to talk about getting the florists together. They
had tried through meetings and through the mails
for a year and a half to get this Allied Florists As-
sociation going in strong order, and now they had
come to the conclusion that it was almost useless to
attempt it. They had some $6000 in hand, and when
the last meeting was held, there being only three
present, it was decided to spend that sum in advertis-
ing during this Fall, with the hope that its effect
would be so marked that others would join up, and
thus enable them to carry on the publicity.

Frank Traendly, a staunch supporter of the Allied
Association, admitted that things did look black. They
had tried, but they never seemed to be able to get
all parties lined up as they had hoped to. One
section would only do something when the other sec-
tion had done theirs, and if that line of thought
prevailed all the time, they would never get anywhere.
He sincerely hoped that it would not be necessary
to drop the work they had taken on They were
not wholly discouraged and, for that reason, they
decided they would utilize the money in hand for
the purpose it was given rather than return it to the
donors with the admission that they had utterly
failed. He sincerely appealed to all the florists of
New York — growers, retailers, supply men and oth-
ers, to come in this scheme of publicity. There could
be no doubt but that its effect would be to their bene-
fit.

Mr. Henshaw gave an illustration of how some
retailers' minds worked. When they first put their
series of advertisements in the papers last Fall, Car-
nations were selling at $2 a hundred. After three
days' advertising, the prices had advanced to $6,
and under the circumstances he felt he was war-
ranted in asking a certain retailer to add his mite
to the advertising campaign. The florist, however,
took just the opposite view. He wished their adver-
tising had never started, for in the middle of the week
he had been able to buy at $2 and now he had to-
pay $6. It was beyond his power of thought to-
realize that this was for the general benefit of the
trade. The whole trouble was that many retailers,,
like this particular man, wanted to make all the
profits and pay out nothing.

George Asmus made some concluding remarks, and
doubted whether New York was really so hopeless as
some of the speakers appeared to think it to be. The
least he could say was that Chicago was also cos-
mopolitan ; that he knew for a fact that in Boston,
they had considerable difficulty in getting a publicity
campaign started. It could only be done by hard
work and persistence.

Next Meeting, Nominations in Order

Secretary Young mentioned that in all probability,
they would have to hold their November meeting in
other quarters as their present room would not be
available. A definite location had not been decided
upon, but it would probably be in some hotel, and
all members would be notified in due course. He
also mentioned that nominations for officers for next
year would be in order at that time.

The Exhibits

Few subjects were staged for the Exhibition Com-
mittee to judge. Charles Totty Co., Madison, N. J.,
staged a magnificent vase of Hill's America, a Rose
that is now familiar to New York florists. For the-
season the blooms were wonderfully fine. A vote of
thanks was awarded.

A. N. Pierson, Cromwell, Conn., exhibited for the
first time a vase of the new Rose, Commonwealth.
This Rose is of considerable promise. It is a deep
rose pink, moderately full and of medium size. The
foliage looks wonderfully good. Vote of thanks.

George Schlegel, gdr., S. G. Milosy, Brooklyn, N.
Y., staged three vases of seedling Dahlias, viz. : Helen
Milosy, a large Peony flowered type, white with
scarlet stripes ; Mrs. George Schlegel, orange salmon
Peony of rather distinctive form, and Mrs. S. G.
Milosy, a large Decorative bright scarlet tipped with
white. All were distinctive, particularly the first and
last mentioned. A certificate of merit was granted
to Mrs. S. G. Milosy, votes of thanks being awarded
to the others.

The meeting adjourned at 10.45 p.m.

Bacteria versus Fertilizers

IN another column appears a further interesting
article on bacteria as an aid to plant culture by
B. Field. Mr. Field, who conducts an iron foun-
dry at Plymouth, Mass., has, for some years, devoted
considerable thought to this subject, prompted prob-
ably by the extraordinary growth of wild plants on a
dump of rock and burned sand which might reason-
ably be expected to contain none of the essentials re-
quired to support plant life.

Many who have traveled around the large manu-
facturing and mining districts, either in the United
States or in other parts of the world, are familiar
with the veritable mountains of waste material that
accumulate in such areas; these dumps are, as a gen-
eral rule, destitute of plant life, due probably to
poisonous gases in the atmosphere or in the material
itself. When such mounds carry plant life it may
reasonably be assumed that some untoward circum-
stances permit it and, if the growth of such is un-
duly strong, it is reasonable to assume that some-
thing other than the small quantities of mineral ele-
ments and the moisture are responsible.

Water, Moisture and Air in Soil

We make no pretence at being scientific and, if
we air a view as to the worth of this or that method
of fertilization or culture, we do so not so much be-
cause a scientist says so, but because practical experi-
ence leads us to think so. Mr. Field explains the
difference between moisture and water in the soil.
We know that if soil is loaded with water above
saturation point, it will not grow the general run of
plants satisfactorily; indeed, soil that is always sur-
feited with water, becomes sour, due to the fact that
the air supply in the soil is cut off. Scientific knowl-
edge is not required to realize this, it is understood
by every practical plantsman.

Fertility of Wild Land

As regards the fact that plants in the wild state
fertilize themselves through the medium of their
fallen leaves, no one would ever attempt to dispute
it; even the open prairie land in its virgin state is
invariably rich and capable of yielding good crops
when broken up. The fertility of such soil is due to
the annual rotting down of the grass, weeds, etc. The
same sort of thing is going on on every piece of land
that is not cultivated. Along the roadsides, in the
hedges, in the woods, Nature is busy replacing and
even increasing what has been taken out of the soil.
Neither the trees nor the weeds become weaker as
the years roll on, proof sufficient that, left to herself,
Nature can do all that is necessary even to the ex-
tent of preventing the overcrowding of her great
plant family or the extermination of such by insects
or diseases.

When Man Upsets Things

It is only when man takes a hand in things that it
becomes necessary to fertilize and cultivate. Nature
abhors a vacuum and therefore strives to cover every
inch of soil with some form of plant life, content in
the fact that while the weaklings may die out, the
stronger will survive. Man, however, desires some-
thing more than Nature's best ; he wants the maxi-
mum crop from a given area and is less interested in
the mere carrying on of the species. Therefore he
cultivates and thins his plants to give them every
chance. He also fertilizes, and this because he has to.
He desires greater development and quicker growth,
but could not obtain such without manuring, as the
plants he grows are not generally left to rot into the
ground as in Nature. Even the custom of sowing Fall
crop for plowing in in the Spring is only now be-
coming general on farms, although it has been prac-
ticed in some parts of the world for centuries; it
was a general custom in the Roman era.

Fertility Dependent on Humus

The need of a fertilizing element in cultivated soil
has always been realized ; moreover, it has also been
recognized that no form of mineral or chemical fer-
tilizer can accomplish its purpose if the soil is lack-
ing in the organic substance called humus. This or-
ganic substance must be present because its mechan-
ical effect on the soil enables the plant's roots to ob-
tain all the moisture they need, as well as the fer-
tilizing elements. It matters not the least what
humus is composed of; it may be decayed plant ma-
terial or the residue from stables, cowsheds, pigsties
or what not. So long as lime is present to counteract
acidity, the general run of plants flourish amazingly
in soil rich in humus.

Peat, which is decayed vegetable matter, is largely
humus, but because of its acidity, it is not appre-
ciated by all plants. Some plants resent it ; we have
seen Cyclamen absolutely stunted by it, but the peat

referred to by Mr. Field has, we are assured, a bene-
ficial effect on Cyclamen.

Home Tests

We may say, too, that we have tested dextrogerm
in the open, but as it was not used until August, the
results were not sufficient to warrant a definite ex-
pression of opinion. Used on Tomatoes in the open
ground, the plants inside a week took on a deeper
green, but on the actual growth, there was no ap-
parent change, as the plants were more or less at
their maximum and heavy in fruit.

With Corn the effect was more noticeable. Two 3in.
pots, filled with sterilized sand, were each sown with
seven seeds of Golden Bantam. One pot had dextro-
germ mixed with sand, and both were stood in a cold-
frame. Each pot was allowed to carry three plants
and within a short time, the treated plants showed
the effect of dextrogerm by their deeper green, al-
though at first growth was not so quick. By the end
of September, however, the plants with dextrogerm
were fully 6in. taller and healthier looking, while
the roots were more dense, although the plants in
pure sand were quite thick and healthy. Had the
test been made earlier and larger pots used, the re-
sults would have been more conclusive.

We also made a test with dextrogerm as a medium
for seeds. Two flats containing similar soil, one with-
out the radio-active peat, were sown with Pansies
in August. The germination in the treated flat was
better but, for some reason, the seedlings in both
flats stood still, all having a stunted, hard appear-
ance which continued until they were pricked out into
the open ground in late September. At this writing,
the batch from the treated flat are making greater
headway, but this may or may not be due to varying
factors. Chrysanthemums in the open ground,
dressed once with the peat do not show any marked
change, due to the fact that the application was late ;
the plants were then developing buds.

The New York Dahlia Show

Editor The Florists Exchange :

From what visitors say the Dahlia Show at the
Pennsylvania Hotel proved a delight to behold. The
Dahlia is in evidence far and wide as a home garden
flower. The beauty and variety of the flowers was re-
markable, which will further promote their cultiva-
tion.

The trip to Kansas City revealed Dahlia cultivation
all along the way as the train passed through towns
and villages, and a journey by automobile along the
Hudson River highway showed continuously the gen-
eral use of this flower in gardens. The general adap-
tation of this flower for the home yards most cer-
tainly has a beneficial effect for bettering home prem-
ises.

The show in New York City will surely have the
effect of strengthening the watchword of the Ameri-
can Society of Florists— "Say it with Flowers." Those
who did their part in this display deserve great credit.

New Capitol Flower Club Planned

Washington, D. C— Preliminary plans for a new
flower and garden club in Washington were discussed
last week at a meeting called by oflicials of the Gov-
ernment experimental farm at Arlington for the pur-
pose of organizing a municipal horticultural society
of wider scope than anything yet attempted in the
District of Columbia. The meeting, which was held
at the Public Library, was presided over by Dr. Fir-
man Mulford and was attended by ofl5cials of the
Department of Agriculture, local florists, and many
amateur and semi-professional flower growers. Dr.
Mulford opened the discussion with a brief survey of
present conditions in Washington and showed the
need for some society that would cater to profes-
sional and amateur as well as to those in the com-
mercial field. He pointed out that Washington, with
the unrivaled Governmental facilities, has never pos-
sessed a general garden club or a horticultural club
of any size or influence, and expressed the hope that
the new club would fill a long-felt want.

Dr. Pappie, of the Bureau of Chemistry, presented
a suggested outline for approval and discussion. The
aim of the society, he said, would be educational, and
along these lines it was thought highly important
that a great deal of attention be given to the educa-
tion of the growing generation by the instituting of
school gardens and interschool competitions. He sug-
gested that the membership of the club be divided
into two classes — amateur and commercial — each sec-
tion with its own chairman and other officers. In ad-
dition there would be the regular club oflicers, con-
sisting of the president, first and second vice-presi-
dents (who would be the chairmen of the amateur
and commercial sections), secretary and treasurer.

Amateur shows would be encouraged and where de-
sired, supervsied by the club, and, in addition, the
society would stage a number of seasonal shows.

Dr. Taylor, of the Department of Agriculture, em-
phasized the need for providing for "tin can gar-
deners," stating that there are many who through
force of circumstances are unable to maintain eveu
backyard gardens, though they may be enthusiastic
flower lovers. In a city such as Washington there
are many of these, he being one, he added ; if a club
is to attain any great strength it must include this
class.

Professor Bisset, in charge of the experimenters'
service of the. Bureau of Plant Industry, urged that
the conditions of membership be made broad enough
to permit anyone joining who is interested in flowers
or plants, and stated that one of the first things that
should be undertaken by the new society is the estab-
lishment of a public trial grounds where tests could
be made, new varieties introduced, and studies con-
ducted.

After much lively discussion by those in attend-
ance on the plans and policies of the club, a com-
mittee of seven was appointed, with Dr. Mulford as
chairman, to consider all suggestions offered and to
draft a constitution to be presented at the next meet-
ing, on Oct. 12. c. L. L.

Priced Flowers in Shops

Our Boston correspondent refers to one florist who,
for years, has made a practice of fixing a price tag
to everything displayed in the store ice box. While
this custom prevails to some extent among florists in
various cities, it is by no means general and, often-
times is confined to certain subjects, even in stores
that regularly use price tags. Some confine the price
tag to plants only, but we believe it is good policy to
price everything that is on sale.

Whatever psychologists may say, the fact remains
that the average person is first attracted or repelled
by price. Some business men will argue that personal
attention to a price inquiry will result in a sale, while
a seemingly high price tag will scare off a prospective
customer. There may be something in this but, as or-
dinary people, we are fully convinced that a sale
made on the "fly" as it were, will be the only one,
if the buyer feels the price is unduly high. The great
majority of the public is looking for the price tag.
The high-class merchant who caters to the wealthy,
may do a big trade, but it is the merchant who caters
to the ordinary people who is everlastingly increasing
his store area to cope with the ever extending clien-
tele.

Why? Just value for money; the public are sold on
what they see before the salesman says a word. And
after all, the retail florist is a merchant, the same as
one who handles drygoods.

The Rose Midge

Several inquiries relating to this pest have come in
the past few days and it would appear that the midge
has become something approaching a menace in some
parts of Pennsylvania. So far as we are aware the
pest had not appeared in New Jersey and only in one
place in New York.

We find that the Rose Annual for 1922 contains a
brief note regarding the midge by C. R. Crosby and
Dr. M. D. Leonard, of Cornell University, and it is
made fairly clear that the use of Tobacco dust one-
half an inch thick on the soil and nightly fumigation
with nicotine for two weeks is effectual in stamping
out a severe attack.

C. A. Weigel, entomologist for the United States
Department of Agriculture, reports that the pest is
particularly serious in one or two places near Phila-
delphia, but that one grower has practically elim-
inated it by hard pruning during the drying off period,
removing the top layer of soil, covering with Tobacco
dust before applying new top soil, and again covering
the new soil with Tobacco dust. The hard pruning
removed most of the midge eggs and larvae, while the
removal of the top soil took away most of the pupa
therein.

Mr. Weigel states that it is most important that
fumigations be carried out nightly for a month or
longer, because of the overlapping generations of
midges that keep appearing.

During the early part of November the insects will
enter the pupal stage in the soil, where they spend
the Winter, during which period, the damage to the
flowers will subside. In March and April they will
become active again, hence it is essential to apply
the Tobacco dust immediately. A complete life his-
tory of the Rose midge can be found in Bulletin No.
778 obtainable from the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture,
Washington, D. C.

That you have "buds" in Boston
One scarcely dares to doubt;

But still in such an atmosphere
How can you bring them out?

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

Gratuitous Information

A Massachusetts subscriber, who does
me the honor of reading these effusions,
ventures to give me some advice regarding
the use of cyanide as a soil sterilizer. In
the Sept. 9 issue, I referred to the ex-
periments made with this chemical in
the open as a destroyer of eelworm. My
mentor points out that to use the method
in a greenhouse, it would be well to take
care that no man remains in the house,
exposed to the fumes. Maybe there are
some people who would be foolish enough
to stay in a greenhouse when any sort
of fumigation is going on, but not this
fellow, thank you. In addition, my men-
tor tells me to brush up on Mendelism
whereby I will learn how Tomatoes can
be developed to uniform size and quality
by crossing. Maybe I have had as much
or more chances to study Mendelism than
my correspondent. Certainly it does not
suggest that making new crosses every
year means improvement. The true re-
sults of Mendelian breeding are only seen
in the second and third generation from
selfed flowers. The Tomato experiments
I referred to recently were not ton the
Mendelian lines for instead of making
selections of a cross with a view to fixing
the characters desired, it was suggested
that each year, a batch of cross breds
be raised. Under such a practice it
would never be possible to get a uniform
type. As well expect definite and fixed
colors from seed saved from certain
Pansy plants grown in a mixed bed.

Dahlia King of the Autumn

The remarks of Geo. W. Kerr in the
last A. D. 8. Bulletin regarding the run-
ning out of Dahlia stocks were recently
quoted in The Exchange, therefore the
views of an English expert regarding the
above variety are interesting. King of
the Autumn at the R. H. S. Dahlia trials
this year has been very thin with open
centers. Referring to this, a writer ex-
pressed the hope that the season alone
was responsible. This hope, however, is
dashed by the experience of a well known
grower. According to him when K. of A.
starts giving single flowers it continues
for the rest of the season. The discard-
ing of all such roots does not help mat-
ters, for others will develop the same
trait. According to this King of the
Autumn will eventually become single.

Gluts

The overcoming of gluts is a problem
that exercises the minds of many, but
when Nature sets out to produce the max-
imum, it is beyond the wit of man to
make things balance, usually because the
large centers of population are far from
the producing centers, the transportation
costing more than can be realized to per-
mit a profit for the grower. As is well
known, in some parts of New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, the Potato crops are so
heavy that the selling price won't pay for
digging and transportation. The same
conditions prevail in England. Some
70,000 acres more than are required were
planted this year, the bumper crops up-
setting the anticipated average. As a
result Potatoes are a drug. One man
shipped 20 tons to market and when
freight was paid he received 19/, about
20c. a ton of 2240 lbs. Plums, too, are a

flut and Apples also. The finest Victoria
'lums have retailed at 3c. a lb., and in
one provincial market, a basket of 72
lbs. of Plums, finding no buyer, the auc-
tioneer gave a woman 6d to take them
away.

Tulip Growers' Troubles

According to a writer in the N. & S.,
the Potato slump is likely to induce much
greater plantings of bulbs in the Lincoln-
shire area which is almost akin to Holland
in its flatness and soil. Many Potato
farmers have taken to bulbs and because
many of them lack the knowledge of
handling severe losses may result. One
party who thought he knew everything,
invested close on $20,000 in Tulip grow-
ing, but he left the bulbs too long in
the ground; several weeks late in fact.
Wet weather ensued and before the bulbs
could be dried and cleaned, they had to
undergo much exposure. This caused

shrivelling and loss of the skins. The
crop had been booked by a Holland firm
— a considerable proportion of the Eng-
lish bulb crop is always bought by Hol-
landers— but when the bulbs were re-
ceived in Holland, they were classed as
"whites" unfit for sale and therefore only
planting stock. The grower is now in
trouble as the buyer is not willing to
accept delivery. And this is how would-
be growers here may fall down if they
imagine bulbs can be grown on the mass
production plan with machinery. I was
w-ell satisfied with the quality of the few
Tulips I lifted myself, but it so happened
that we also had a wet period when the
bulbs were ready for lifting, consequently
some were too long in the ground with
detrimental effect to their appearance.

Burning Leaves

"Burning the leaves in the Fall helps
avoid a lot of plant disease, especially
those which affect shade trees." Thus
runs an Ohio Extension Service sheet.

I wonder how much of this is based on
assumption? While there are woodlands
and forests, diseases and insects affecting
trees will remain; the two go together,
and to talk about helping things by burn-
ing leaves is rather absurd. Actually, if
those people who, in the smaller towns,
spend hours in the Fall gathering up
leaves and burning them in the gutter,
would collect and rot down the leaves and
work the humus into their ground, they
would be doing themselves a service. Also,
if the hours they spend watching the
fires they make in Fall and Spring, to say
nothing of the probable calls on the fire
department, were devoted to real garden
work, they would perhaps learn that
their plots could be put to better use than
everlasting grass shaded by more trees
than are warranted. Burning leaves as
pastime! Huh! such people ought to be
on a desert island. While they are doing
it, I go collecting leaves and leaf mold
from the woods, and if I hear aright, I
am less pestered with bugs and diseases
than the average neighbors.

Another Theory Gone Wrong

All these long, long years, especially
before the auto came to upset "Dobbin's"
position, we labored under the delusion
that the straw in stable manure provided
additional value, making for humus and
serving as a holder of the moisture. Now
the Geneva, N. Y., Experiment Station
finds that straw, added to manure with
acid phosphate as a preserver, brings
about a marked loss in organic matter. To
me, this seems tantamount to saying that
the more straw used in stables for the
horses' comfort, the less the manure is
worth. No explanation can be given. Per-
sonally, I'm open to conviction and if
the horse keeper would bring me a load
of pure droppings I wouldn't kick, but
he won't. The proportion of straw is
probably 4/5 and if it wasn't there, all
the liquids would never reach me at all.
It is generally well known that the actual
chemical value of stable manure is small
compared with its bulk, but it is bulk that
counts on poor hungry land. According to
tests, the loss in four months, of straw
manure was 53 per cent, while manure
mixed with peat, lost but 35 per cent.
Seems to me we are getting all "het" up
over this manure question. Not long
since the Rothampstead College in Eng-
land, owing to the scarcity of stable
manure, reported that a substitute al-
most identical to it, could be made with
with straw well wetted and mixed with
sulphate of ammonia and chalk.

As Geneva points out, the chief value of
manure is the mechanical effect it exerts
through its organic content, but straw re-
duces this matter. Reminds me of the
restaurant which weighed its patrous and
charged according to the increase on leav-
ing. One smart "Alec," by carrying a
brick in and leaving it behind, came out
lighter than he went in. The same hap-
pens with this manure. You use up a
ton of straw in your stable, but after
stacking it in the form of manure, it
just vanishes to the tune of 50 per cent.
Gone, I suppose, down the throats of
those worms, bugs and beetles that hang
around manure heaps.

Potato Edgecote Purple

From "Plant Immigrants" I learn that
Mills College, Calif., is trying out the
above Potato, the seed sets being supplied
by Prof. Biff en of Cambridge University.
According to reports, Edgecote Purple
while not wart-proof, is resistant to mo-

saic and leaf curl diseases. There are
many old gardeners who will recall Edge-
cote Purple one of the finest colored Po-
tatoes in cultivation. Probably today in
England, where rural shows prevail, you
would find many cottage gardeners still
growing it for a collection of Potatoes
would be hopeless without a purple and
a red. The old American sort, Mr.
Breeze — one of the filthiest eating this —
was a favored red. These two kidney
shaped varieties on light soil were like
wax models.

How long they have been in cultiva-
tion I don't know, probably before I was
born. The California tests show that
Edgecote Purple bears pollen freely; thus
we can realize that the old ancients still
retain their flowering habits. This variety,
by the way, was never a cropper like Mr.
Breeze, but it was good eating. So was
the old Schoolmaster, a round purple,
which probably still exists. As a matter
of fact, I found it by accident when dig-
ging in an army camp plot in 1917. The
tubers had been in the ground all Win-
ter, yet despite the severe freezing, they
were sound and yielded a splendid crop.
This variety is probably as old as Edge-
cote Purple.

Potting Lilies

The Chicago correspondent refers to
this subject and mentions the importance
of having soil for the stem roots. Most
of the Japanese Lilies and some of the
others also, are stem rooters, and it is
generally accepted that stem rooting Lil-
ies when planted in the open ground
must be planted deeper than the other
class. Actually, the stem roots devote all
their attention and energy to developing
a strong stem and flowers. The basal
roots probably do not influence the growth
at all. Their object is to strengthen the
bulb and store up in it food for carrying
it over the next season. Many of the
failures to establish Japanese Lilies in
the garden are due to the loss of basal
roots when lifted. Generally the bulbs
lose a considerable amount of root when
packed for export, but sufficient remains
to start the bulb off. The stem roots en-
sure a strong top, but do not help the
bulb, unless the flower buds are removed.
This is the chief reason why most Lilies
that are forced are exhausted after flow-
ering. If Jap. Lilies were shipped with
all their basal root intact the chances
are that the bulbs would retain much of
their vigor for another season. As it is,
most of them shrink to nothingness, not
because they flowered, but because the
basal roots could not supply the food
which the growth, prior to the stem
root's appearance, had robbed it of.

Stunt in Dahlias

Until I saw a plant or two affected in
an odd corner in the Brooklyn Botanical
Garden, I had no acquaintance with the
disease which "Dahlia Grower" recently
referred to. From what Mr. Free said,
Dahlias are not a success in the Brooklyn
Garden, and I understand the trouble ap-
plies to the Bronx also, for the New York
Botanical Garden has had heavy losses.
I don't know, but I imagine this disease
is akin to the spindle growth of Potatoes.
Twenty years or so ago, Euglish growers
were much exercised over the fact that
apparently sound Potato sets refused to
grow and after months of discussion it
was more or less proved that the fault
was brought about by growing on dry
soils, and over-ripeness. Scotch and
Irish seed Potatoes are not usually af-
fe'cted and in the south of England it
is the invariable custom to plant northern
seed. The same applies here more or
less; northern grown Potatoes make bet-
ter seed stock than those produced further
south.

With Dahlias, I opine that the starch
content in the tubers is changed through
some cause, so that it does not support
the growth as it normally should. The
continuous cutting up of roots to single
tubers; lack of careful selection of stock;
indiscriminate seed saving from this, that
and the other types, all probably have
a bearing on the case. Likely as not, if
growers rely more on the rooted cutting
proposition, ensuring thereby new tub-
ers every year and certainly guarding
against roots that will not respond, there
will be no further spread of this dis-
ease. In order to get roots, growers are
apt to give less attention to stock selec-
tion and in cutting up the roots they pos-
sibly transfer bacteria from affected roots
to healthy ones. Personally, I would dump

on the fire any and every kind of plant-
that showed indications of heredity dis-
ease, and that is what this Dahlia "stunt
probably is. Likely as not, it is carried
over in the roots and next season is
transferred to healthy stock by the bugs.

The Daisy

So Chicago wants to get the Daisy as
the national flower. I cannot, however,
follow the line of thought that makes all
kinds of composites, Daisies I certainly
never knew any one class a Calendula or
a Sunflower as a Daisy.

Probably R. J. Windier has the Mar-
guerite, the various hardy Chrysanthe-
mums and the perennial Asters in mind.
Many countries have their Daisies, and
they vary between Bellis (English), Are-
totis (African), Erigeron Mexican),.
Aster (American) and so on, but in the
main the many forms of Bellis are the
acknowledged Daisies, although the Ox-
eye Daisy (Chrysanthemum) is almost
as common. Actually, however, the per-
ennial Aster is America's leading Daisy,
but for commercial purposes its season
is brief, so that when the Daisy is advo-
cated, it is probably the white Oxeye or
field Chrvsanthemum-hke flower that is
in the mind of Mr. Windier. He talks
of 3ft. to 4ft. stems, and blooms 4m. to
Gin. across. If the Daisy he has in mind
is the Bellis, he will never see that on
4ft. stems nor 6in. across. The Aster can
easily make that stem, but its flowers
are too numerous to ever come 6m. and
disbudding wouldn't help any. Therefore,
we comeback to the Oxeye of which
the Shasta, Mrs. Lothian Bell, King Ed-
ward etc., are representative, and with
this the job is easv. I believe years ago
growers used to do these finely under

gl Tremember when a Scotch raiser intro-
duced King Edward VII for the first.
Sat Shrewsbury show. The flowers
were more than 6in so big m fact that
the late Henry Eckford declared them
past all reason. Daisies 3ft. to 4ft. tall
and 4in. to 6in. flowers are easy, provid-
ing you grow C. maximum in its best
forms.

Optimism

L E M gives a good example of this
when he looks forward to the «P"smg of
a Henrv Ford in the nursery trade. There
is however, such a thing as getting too
big; one cannot compare auto cars with
tri4s and nursery stock. H. F. needs
scores of thousands of men, machinery,
and a year or so to make a million cars.
A nurseryman can root or raise millions
of plants with a few hands in a year,
and much of the stock fit for sale, but
lots of others could be doing the same,
so that there would be no sale for much
of the stock, even at the growing cost
Henry Ford hasn't yet struck the glut
catastrophe, and is not likely to. Ihe
plant propagator can easily overdo things
I'll admit prices could be lowered, but
proportionately it cannot be done on the
same scale as Henry Ford did with cars.
There is a minimum growing cost, whether
one grows a thousand or a million, ana
machines cannot make the stock. As tor
the tree planting idea, this can be over-
done also. Personally, I wouldnt have
big trees near or spreading over my
house. I like daylight, sunshine and,
when the storms blow, I like to feel that
my house is not likely to be flattened out
by trees.

After all, if you want to advocate beau-
tiful small gardens, it's no use urging
people to plant shade trees. A nursery-
man can sell more in the way of hardy
plants, bulbs, etc., to the owner of a
plot lOOf t.xSOft., and there s more ot
that size than larger, than he can m the
way of trees, which in a few years may
bury a place. Trees are all right in their
place, but their place is not in a small
plot, unless they are fruit trees of mod-
erate size.

A New Late Astilbe

According to the Horticultural Adver-
tiser, a plant worthy of notice is a new
late Spirfea about to be introduced
by Andrieux Vilmorin & Co. of Paris.
This new species, A. chinensis pumila,
was introduced into France in 1912, seed
being sent to Vilmorin by a French mis-
sionary in Thibet. The plant is said to
be hardy, and its chief characteristics are
low stature, about 1ft., erect, stout stems,
late blooming and abundance of rosy-

. purple flowers. Like all the Spiraeas,
it likes moisture, but apart from its gar-
den value it should be a useful pot plant

' at a period when pot plants are scarce.

THE F. T. D. IN FOREIGN LANDS

By Carl Engelmann, Saffron, Walden, England. Read
before the F. T. D. Meeting, Baltimore, October 10 to 12

I HAVE come here from the other side of the At-
lantic to attend this great meeting and to tell
you of the progress and prospects of the P. T. D.
in other lands. Progress has been slow, slower than
many of us had perhaps hoped it would be, but we
must not forget that the F. T. D. idea is new, and
that the Old World is slower in taking up new things
than the New World. Besides, there has been a lack
of prosperity in the florist's business on the other
side during the last few years, and no doubt this has
also had a retarding influence. However, though
slow, progress has been sure, and prospects for the
near future are, in my opinion, good. Thanks to the
efforts of your officers and, in fact, to every member
of this association, the florists abroad are hearing
about you, more than that, they are beginning to sit
up and take notice.

A Tribute to "Push"

Up on the highest peak of yon lofty mountain,
that great worker and idealist of the F. T. D. who,
with his mighty energy and push is one of the few
mortals who can reach those giddy heights, has
started the small ball rolling ; it is moving on, slowly

. at first but growing in size and speed and, soon it
will have become a mighty avalanche, gathering as
it descends the florists of the world, combining them

', into one mighty whole. Not, however, like an ava-
lanche of snow, to be melted by hot air and turned

i into water when it reaches the valley ; no, this mighty

, combine will stick together and work together for the
good of all its members — in faith, truth and deter-
mination.

, Getting Foreign Members

But I must not weary you with' those ramblings;

• we have come here to talk biisiness, and I will now

i suggest a few points which may prove practical and
may help to spread the P. T. D. idea abroad. There

! are two points to be considered : First, to get new
members, and secondly, to hold them after we have
got them. Now as to getting new members. I can
assure you there is nothing like the personal approach.
This is an age of cold type and printers' ink ; every-

1 one of us receives pamphlets, circulars and papers
galore. Many of these are invaluable to keep a man's
interest going in something or other that he has al-
ready taken up. But, if it is our wish to interest a
fellow in something entirely new to him, I can assure
you that one personal letter will do more toward
achieving this object than a score of pamphlets.

The Personal Element

Here is a point where most of you can help. Many
of you have a relative or a friend in some foreign
country, someone you correspond with occasionally.
When you get home or, better still today, write that
friend a line, and ask him to let you have the ad-
dress of the best florist in his locality. In a week or
two you will probably receive this address. Then
spare an hour, and write that florist a long letter, ex-
plaining to him the F. T. D. idea ; at the same time,
send him a copy of the News, and an entry form
properly filled out ready for his signature. In a
great many oases, he will join. But you should go
one better ; you should give him a practical demon-
stration of the workings of the F. T. D. by asking
him to send that friend of yours who gave you his
address, a five dollar floral greeting for Christmas,
and tell him you are not sending him the five dollars
in cash but that you have used them to pay his first
year's subscription to the F. T. D. He will then be a
member for one year, and when that year is over, he
will have found out that he cannot afford to do with-
out the F. T. D., and he will continue to pay his
dues. Besides this, you will have given your friend
in that far off land a nice Christmas greeting, and
it will probably lead to much future business.

On the other hand he may be a wrong one ; he may
never send your friend the Christmas gift; you may
have spent your five dollars in vain. Well, what of
it? Just write our secretary to cancel this member-
ship, and if you have never backed the wrong horse
in your life, shake hands with yourself, and think
this is the first one. In most cases you will bag the
game, you have a sporting chance anyway.

Use the Consuls and Ambassadors

Now I will tell you another way you could and
should help yourselves to good business through this
association. In every important capital of the world,

there is an American Ambassador and, in all the
largest cities, an American consul. Uncle Sam looks
after business every time, and all these men are
business men. If your secretary writes and asks
them to let him have the address of the best florist
in their respective cities, telling them that he wants
this to help American business, I have no doubt he
will get it.

To this florist your secretary will then write in the
real F. T. D. spirit. He will ask him to deliver five
dollars' worth of flowers with the compliments of the
association to the ambassador or his wife, and that
this five dollars will be used to pay his first year's
subscription. In due course the ambassador will send
a letter of thanks, then will be the time to write, and
explain to him the workings of the F. T. D., pointing
out that he can send flowers to any of his friends in
the States through his local florist, the newly en-
rolled member of the F. T. D. I believe in nine cases
out of ten, this will mean good business. Certainly it
will cost the society a little, but it looks to me like
a good investment, and is one of the many ways of
cooperative advertising.

Carl Engelmann

The Foreign Press as an Aid

An occasional article in the foreign horticultural
press, or a note in some of the world's fashionable
dailies or magazines, giving examples of F. T. D.
transactions, would also be good publicity and help
to draw attention to and spread the ideas of this
association. It may be worth while to have an occa-
sional advertisement in a foreign paper, and a page
regularly in one of the English trade papers may
prove of advantage. Without doubt, England and her
colonies deserve the first consideration ; in most other
countries, the language difficulty will form an initial
drawback.

The News

Now to the holding of new members after you
have enrolled them. Here our greatest help is our
monthly News. This does not only pioneer work by
carrying the F. T. D. idea and its spirit to far off
lands, where it opens new spheres of interest, but it
serves also as our faithful ambassador after the
territory is ours, and sees to it that the F. T. D. idea
reigns supreme wherever it has found a foothold.
Our Neios is the best paper for retail florists in the
world; it is distinctive and in a class by itself. -It
cannot be compared with any of the excellent trade
papers we have, and I find it difficult to suggest any-
thing that may possibly improve it from a foreigner's
viewpoint.

Floristry, a word not used outside America, and
I therefore make apologies for using it, is an art,
and as such, it is subject to constant changes, such
as Dame Fashion may decree. I should, therefore,
like to see a few pages of the Neivs devoted to floral
fashions from New York, London, Paris, Berlin and
other fashionable places. A few illustrations of
floral arrangements as in vogue in these cities with
short descriptions would be a help especially to the

florist who is located far away from these centers of
fashion. A novelty page would be attractive and in-
structive. Original and novel designs in floral ar-
rangements as well as baskets, pottery and other
things of interest to florists, would here be described
and illustrated.

' A French and a German page would give the News
more of an international appearance and would, no
doubt, be appreciated by our French, German and
Swiss members. Other languages, of course, might
be added in future.

Getting Help from Foreign Members

Foreign members shall be encouraged to send photo-
graphs of window displays, floral designs, or floral ex-
hibits from the world's principal flower shows, and
by way of an inducement for this sort of help, a
medal might be struck by the association, and one
might be awarded every month to the foreign mem-
ber who sends in the best photograph, article or
idea. This would be a comparatively small matter
for a great and powerful association like this, and it
would give your fellow members across the seas some-
thing to talk about. It would help to make them
keen, and every member who gets really keen will,
sooner or later, bring new members along. You have
issued quite a lot on propaganda at home, and the
success has been magnificent; try spending a little
on propaganda abroad, I believe you will be satisfied
with the result.

Additional Suggestions

Every foreign member in your list should have a
cable address, mostly two, certainly not more than
four words should be sufficient to find him; a short
telegraphic code would also be of great advantage. I
have not in mind such an elaborate one as has been
published by the German F. T. D., because I know
from experience that mistakes are too frequent, and
it would be disastrous if a customer wishes to send
a birthday greeting, and through misreading the code
the florist sends a funeral design. I think, however,
it would be a help if some half-dozen quite dissimilar
code words could be used meaning such every day
orders as: "Send a bunch of flowers as birthday greet-
ing with card from price, dollars "

or: "Send a funeral design with card: Sincere sym-
pathy from price, dollars "

A few simple code words would here mean a great
saving in cable charges, which, in some cases are
almost prohibitive.

I hope some of the points I have made will be found
practical, and will help to bring in new foreign mem-
bers. Whenever a new name appears on this foreign
list, I want you all to put this on your mailing list.
Send every fresh foreign subscriber all the pamphlets
and catalogs you publish, it may not help you to any
direct immediate business, but it will keep this new
man, far across the seas, in personal touch with you
and the association ; it will make him feel a member
of the great F. T. D. family and, sooner or later, busi-
ness is bound to come.

If any one of you can place an order with a new
member, just do this, even if you have been in the
habit of dealing with another member in the same
neighborhood. Believe me, just one order will do
more toward making him a good, permanent worker,
than a dozen letters would do.

Support Foreign Members

Some of the big business men among you have prob-
ably had their foreign orders filled to their entire
satisfaction by florists who are not members of this
association. If there should be one among you who
is doing this still, just give your friend abroad the
straight tip, tell him he will either have to join the
F. T. D. at once or you will feel obliged to transfer
your business to a competitor in his district who is
a member. I think this will bring him up to scratch.

Possible Black Sheep

So far, I have only been talking about getting and
holding new members. There is' another side to the
picture, you may have to turn down some. We have
black sheep in every flock; even among the florists
may -be a wrong one now and again. I wish to appeal
to you all most strongly, if it should ever occur
that you are badly served by one of the foreign mem-
bers of this association, inform your secretary at
once, and have the affair thoroughly investigated. The
one thing of supreme importance in a worldwide asso-
ciation like this is that we must be able to trust
every member without exception. One black sheep
among our flock can do more harm to the spirit of
the whole than a hundred white ones can make
good. We must never tolerate one black sheep among
the F. T. D. flock.

prove practical and acceptable.

Before I sit down, however, I should
like you all to forget the practical part
of the whole F. T. D. idea; just let us
look at the ideal side of it.

Think what you are doing through this
great association; think what you will
have achieved when you can "Say it
with Flowers' all over the civilized world.
No combination of business men has ever
attempted anything approaching this.

Just think of the joy and happiness
you can bring to many a lonely soul, thou-
sands of miles away, through a single gift
of flowers. Flowers, the emblem of all
that is good and beautiful in this world;
how much more meaning they carry than
any other gift. Your association knows no
frontiers; it carries love and good will

Friends, I can assure you that any so-

called frontiers, is worth every ounce of
support you can give it. The world be-
yond is sick and weary, let it hear your
comforting message, "Say it with Flow-
ers." Work on with faith, truth and
determination; success will be yours, and
we shall have ascended one more tiny
step toward that elusive goal called
"Millennium," the time when there will
be peace and good will among all men.

Schroyer Flower Shop

H. A. Schroyer was the first to start
a flower store in Lancaster, Pa., and at
his demise left the store to Miss Carrie
E. Steekman, who had so ably assisted him
for a number of years. The picture shows
the store as it is every day — a veritable
flower show. You will note that the ice
box is not very large and that the bulk
of the flowers are in vases distributed
over the store. This method has been in
practice for years and gives the customer
a chance to see the flowers, and adds to
their keeping qualities.

Makes Flower Picking Party Pay
$25 to Salvation Army

Middletown, N. Y. Oct. 8< — armers
complain that residents of New York City
passing through sections of the country in
autos stop and divest their premises of
anything they see to their liking, appro-
priating fruits and flowers in considerable
quantities without taking the trouble to
make requests.

A touring car stopped in front of one
farmhouse while the chauffeur made trips
into a field for large bouquets of culti-
vated flowers for the occupants of the
car. The owner of the grounds made his
appearance while a second lot was being
taken, walked directly to the auto, where
he apprized the woman in charge of his
identity, presented the card of his lawyer
and informed her that unless she con-
tributed $25 to the Salvation Army within
a specified number of hours she would be
called upon to settle with the lawyer.

Within a few hours the farmer received
a receipt showing the money had been
contributed as demanded.

INTERNATIONALLY FAMOUS
AS GROWERS OF
PLANTS AND FLOWERS

have opened a

at 4 E$2>rd Street

Just off Ol/i/i Avenue

Reproduction of an advertisement, 11 in. deep, three
columns wide, appearing in the New York Times of
Tuesday, Oct

ppearing
10, announcing the opening of Totty's
Retail Flower Shop

Totty's Opens Flower Shop in
New York

The Charles H. Totty Co., Madison, N.
J., well known throughout this country
for many years as flower growers and
particularly as originators and distribu-
ters of flower novelties, more especially
Roses, Chrysanthemums and Carnations,
on Tuesday, Oct. 10, engaged in a new
branch of the flower business.

On that day this company opened at
4 East 53d st.j N. Y. -City, a retail flower
shop, well located for drawing business
and verv commodious, having a frontage
of 30ft. and a1 depth of 120ft., with a
basement of the same size. The full glass
front affords an excellent opportunity
for floral displays and bears on its cen-
ter in golden script letters the word
"Totty's." English and French connec-
tions also are indicated on the store
front and the home office as follows:
"American Agents for R. F. Felton, 'The
King's Florist/ 'Hanover Square, London.'
'37 Rue Lapeyrouse, Paris.' 'Greenhouses
and Nurseries, Madison, N. J.' "

Within the flower shop the high ceil-
ing gives an imposing effect and its color,
a light cream, enhances the mellow re-
sults produced by the indirect electric
lighting. The side walls have a Caen
stone finish in a light grey color and on
these are mirrors so arranged as to give
complete reflection. The side wall in the
far end of the store is finished in a trellis
effect in alto-rilievo. English linoleum in
black and white gives the floor a tile ap-
pearance.

The furnishings of the store are ele-
gant, and its equipment for business
complete. The show icebox is of the lat-
est type, full glass front and ends, glass
sliding doors, glass shelves, a mirrored
back, and with no partitions to inter-
rupt the view of the flowers. All tables
for flowers and all base work throughout
the store are of black and gold marble.
The most unique furnishing is a large sev-
enteenth century marble basin, of an an-
tique pattern and on a high pedestal, from
Carara, Italy, and once used as a holy
water fountain. In the front of the
store midst a corner of palms and ferns

Florists report a decided improvement
in business for the past week, principally
funeral work, which cleaned up all avail-
able stock. Orders for weddings and re-
ceptions are being booked for the com-
ing week. Cool weather and a frost or
two will be of benefit to the trade.

The weather man must have gone to
sleep on his job as the cool spell of two
weeks ago was succeeded by extremely
hot weather, the mercury registering
some days SS deg., 90 deg., 02 deg. and
no moisture in the atmopshere.

TV. Holurooks.

Cedar Rapids, la.

Oct. 2. — G. Newport & Son have added
a new greenhouse, 35ft.x22.5ft. to their
range and, owing to difficulty to get a
glazier at proper time, benched their
Carnations considerably in advance of
glazing. Luck was with them in not hav-
ing any high winds or heavy rainstorms
to contend with and now that house is
all completed, the plants are going along
very nicely. They also report the installa-
tion of a new Kroeschell boiler, replac-
ing one that had served its best time.

Scenting the necessity of a regular forc-
ing house, has prompted Arthur Bezdek
to erect one 16ft.xl00ft., which will give
him the much needed room for bulbous
stock and holiday specialties which he
lacked before.

DeWitt Wilcox of Wilcox Flower Shop
reports the prospects of Fall business as
being bright now that industrial contro-
versies are being settled. He recently has
had several very nice decorations for
Fall weddings.

Seemingly the greenhouse business is
on a boom at Cedar Rapids and at the
establishment of H. E. and C. W. Krebs,
the addition of a house 29ft.xl25ft. will
increase their Carnation output that
much more. A new propagating house lift.
xl25ft. is half filled with Geranium cut-
tings, which are looking promising, despite
the extremely hot weather the latter half
of September. This firm is installing a
centrifugal pump operated by electricity;
they think it will greatly help circulation
in their hot water heating plant, which
will be well taxed on account of the new
additions. H. E. K.

Undertaker's Commissions

Editor Florists Exchange:

As another protest against undertaker's
graft, may I say a few remarks? The
letter in a recent issue condemning this
practice was very true.

An undertaker is not entitled to a
commission on flowers because he places
a charge on his bill for services. If the
people ask him to order the flowers
(which they seldom do) he should do it,
knowing that he is being paid for it,
without demanding a commission. If the
public was to know of this practice, the
florists would be condemned as much as
the undertakers.

It is a common custom with some un-
dertakers to ask if they can order the
flowers, as soon as they enter a house ;
in other words, beg for the order. If
every florist was to refuse to give com-
missions and also cut out the crape pull-
ing and professional mourning stuff, the
profession would be looked on with much
more pride by those who respect the
business.

Anyone who believes this practice is
right is most likely one of those whose
business comes mostly in this hideous and
obnoxious manner. The business is there,

Totty's Open Flower Shop in
New York

(Continued from page 1015)
and other tropical plants is a rosewood
table on which are the usual stationery,
cards, et cetera, for the convenience of
customers. The show window in which,
on the opening day, was a display of choice
seasonable flowers, is finished overhead
with a pergola. Several groups of palms,
ferns and Dracaenas help to give a tropi-
cal appearance to this beautiful flower
shop.

Back of the flower shop and separated
from it by a partition is the Chas. H.
Totty Co.'s office for its catalog business.
Here their customers from all over the
country can come more conveniently in
many cases than to the company's Madi-
son (N. J.) home office and place their
orders. Here also is an icebox for keep-
ing a reserve stock of flowers.

A well built deep concrete basement ex-
tends beneath the entire store. Here is
a second icebox for a larger reserve stock
of flowers, room for plants, lockers for
the men, and room for storing the many
requirements of a first class flower shop.
Besides the entrance to the salesroom,
there is a second front entrance and a
passageway through which tradesmen may
deliver merchandise to the receiving and
shipping room and to the basement.

•Tames B. Deal, well known among re-
tailers as an experienced and capable
florist, with a successful executive record,
is the manager of the Totty Flower Shop,
which has been opened under what seems
to be most favorable auspices.

Advertising Extraordinary

Doubters and scoffers as to the in-
creasing business status of the retail flo-
rist trade in the United States, if any
such still exist, should each be handed
a copy of the Washington Post (Wash-
ington, D. C.) of Oct. 8. The entire cen-
ter spread (two pages) of the pictorial
section of that issue is occupied with the
advertisement of Glide Bros. Co., 1212 F
st. N. W. Washington, D. C.

Of late yea' s the retail florist has been
rapidly coming to the fore as a competi-
tor of big national advertisers, and the
present instance of heavy advertising on
the part of Glide Bros. Co. certainly bears
out our statement. On this two page in-

sert, printed in sepia, are shown eleven
illustrations. The majority of them are
of large size, the one on the foot ex-
tending over the entire two pages, and
depicting the frontage of the Gude Bros.
Co. flower shop with the sidewalk ex-
tending for many stores to right and left
covered by the 48 wreaths representing
the 48 States, made up by the Gude Bros.
Co., for the great event on Armistice
Day, Nov. 11, 1921, when they were
placed in the rotunda of the Capitol in
honor of the Unknown Dead in the Great
War.

Quite as it should be, a splendid por-
trait of Wm. F. Gude, president and
treasurer of the corporation, and one of
the best known men in Washington busi-
ness and fraternal life, occupies the po-
sition, of honor at center top.

Other illustrations show 17,000 Car-
nations in one house, thousands of Ameri-
can Beauty Roses in another, 23,000 Chrys-
anthemums in still another. There are
also interior views of the flower shop, the
artists' workroom, and the fleet of six
handsome delivery automobiles, the of-
fice and business department where the
clerical force is established and whence
the outoftown as well as local orders are
taken care of, and finally a church decora-
tion view, which is a specialty of this
house.

American Beauty Roses, as is often ad-
mitted, have ceased to be gown by many
rosarians, but Gude Bros. Co. still special-
ize in them, and with their splendid pro-
duction of this variety have won many
prizes at the big international and other
flower shows.

The Market

Because there is a plethora of As-
ters, Cosmos and Dahlias on the market
here. Dahlias sold for as low as 50c. per
100 this week at wholesale houses. Deal-
ers complained that all flowers were so
cheap and plentiful that there was very
little profit either for the grower or the
handlers. The Dahlias which were a par-
ticular drug on the market were the
light and dark pink varieties of medium
size. The only demand for them was for
use in grave decorations and the sale for
that purpose was not active. Large red,
yellow and red bronze Dahlias were,
however, ready sellers.

Pfeiffer Bros, of Ft. Thomas brought
in last week a tremendous shaggy yel-
low Dahlia of the Dr. Wallen variety.
It brought a good price as a specialty
and was the largest bloom seen in this
section. No exact measurements were
made, but it. was estimated to be fully
12in. in diameter and was about as
shaggy and rugged as a Chrysanthemum.
Other popular varieties in the trade are
Insulinde and King of the Autumn.

One of the largest Dahlia producers
for the market is John C. Rutenschroer,
of Foley rd.. Price Hill, who has 3%
acres of the plants which are attracting
scores of visitors. The popular varieties
are Insulinde. Princess Pat and Patrick
O'Mara.

The continued dry weather and unsea-
sonable warmth is causing much grief
both to growers and wholesalers of Chrys-
anthemums. Ordinarily the early and
late crops of 'Mums are so matured as
to be marketable by now, but this year
the calculations of growers and dealers
have been turned topsyturvy. The early
and late crops will bloom almost simul-
taneously and the handlers are at their
wit's ends to know how to get rid of
them, so as not to cause a glut. Early
'Mums have had a hard time and show
the effect of the drought. Some of them
came on the market this week and whole-
salers had much difficulty getting them
to take up water in the jars. They had
to be continually paring down the stems,
and even the blooms were slow to absorb
the moisture. Roses, however, are good
with fine color and petal development.
Premiers, red and pink Columbias, yel-
low Ophelias and the double white Kil-
larncys are the best sellers. Dealers were
having difficulty getting rid of their
stocks of Bittersweet, and some Easter
Lilies imported from Chicago growers
were so slow of sale that many had to be
thrown away. The end of the season for
openings has hurt the market for cut
flowers to a certain extent but there is
still a big demand for Roses, Lilies, Car-
nations and 'Mums for card parties, re-
ceptions, cencerts. recitals and similar
functions.

Glen E. Moore, a Rose grower from
Rushville. Ind.. spent several days in the
city calling on the wholesale trade. He
, says that he is, having excellent results
with Ids product this season and looks
for a big business.

Charles E. Critchell, former president of
the Cincinnati Florists' Society, who has
been ill for some time, was somewhat im-
proved this week and was able to take
short drives near his suburban home.

R. G. Kootz, floral designer and decorator
for retail stores, has returned from Indianap-
olis where he has been for several seasons,
and will connect himself with H. W. Shep-
pard.

Growers' Meeting Votes for Publicity
Fund

Decision of the growers of the Cin-
cinnati district to raise a general adver-
tising fund for use in local papers by
assessing is members one-half of one per
cent of growers' sales was reached last
Wednesday at the regular meeting of the
Cincinnati District Flower Growers As-
sociation. The meeting was held at the
greenhouses of Edward H. Schwarz in
Norwood and was attended by 21 of the
leading growers of the district. Letters
were read from the Milwaukee Growers
Ass, .ruition telling of the success of the
advertising fund plan in that city, where
the plan is to assess the growers one per
of their gross sales and the whole-
sales and retailers each two per cent of
their gross sales.

In order to amass a fund at once, it
was decided by the growers present to
make tic- assessment retroactive starting
with July in the case of the members
present. For the others, of whom there
are about 10. the assessment will date
from Oct. 1.

Richard Witterstaetter, chairman of
the district association presided and a
report from Secretary Joseph Imholte,
of Delhi, O., was read, which showed
that the association is growing rapidly
and that practically 90 per cent of the
glass of this district will be represented
within the next few months. Already
more than 40 'growers have become mem-
bers and it is predicted that it will be
one of the livest association branches in
the country. Growers from neighboring
towns in Indiana and Kentucky have
heard of the association and its success
and a number of applications have been
received from them as well.

Latest Hill Novelties Shown

Among the visiting growers at the
meeting was Joseph Hill, who came up
from Richmond, Ind., to invite the asso-
ciation to be his guest there Nov. S.
Mr. Hill markets a large part of his
output through Critchell and other whole-
salers of this district and has some new
Rose sports that he is eager, to show the
florists. One of these is a hardy large
red seedling not yet named, but, which
is said to have the most wonderful keep-
ing qualities that local growers have seen
in the Rose line. For five days a full
blown flower was kept in a vase and not
a single petal fell. One dealer said that
the Rose began to dry before it started
to wither and retained its shape and fra-
grance to the last. A pink seedling was
also exhibited which has a beautiful bud
and is said to hold up well for shipment.
W. Ray Murphy, treasurer of the
growers association, is arranging to hold
a special meeting of wholesalers and re-
tailers to interest them in the general
advertising fund proposition. A meeting
was set for Oct. IS when it will prob-
ably be proposed that the storemen and
retailers agree to an assessment of one
per cent. The meeting was an enthu-
siastic one and all growers appeared to
be greatly encouraged by the outlook for
Fall and Winter trade. At its close a
dainty lunch was served by the host and
his estimable wife.

The Market

October arrived to the tune of better
business, which has continued throughout
the week, and there is more animation in
the market than has been displayed in
months. Roses are better and Carnations
are more plentiful; in fact, all greenhouse
stock is better, while the 25 day drought
has about ruined everything outside not in
reach of the hose.

Dahlias dominate the outdoor stock, being
quite the best thing at present. Jack Frost
has laid many patches low, but there are
still plenty, and wmile the quality is not all
that could be desired, they lend a welcome
variety of color to an otherwise pink market.
Cosmos has improved wonderfully with
cooler nights and some fine, long stock with
huge flowers have been noted. Gladioli
and Asters have had their day, though there
is still a demand for them.

Chrysanthemums from the local growers
are beginning to arrive — small shipments
that are picked up immediately. The'early
whites are the most plentiful, while the
California shipments supply the color.
Valley is scarce, as well as orchids. Indoor
Snapdragon trickles in in small quantities.
Gypsophila and Celosia are in heavy demand
with not enough to go around. Greens are
excellent and plentiful. The plant situation
is about the same, excepting an improvement
in the quality of Cyclamen and Primroses.

Prices: .Roses, Columbia, Premier, Am.
Legion, 33 to $18; Am. Beauty, S6 to $30;

Cleveland Horticultural Society .

The show committee of the Cleveland
Horticultural Society held a meeting Tues-
day evening, Oct. 3, and many loose ends
were tied up. The present indications point.
to an excellent list of entries, both in the
vegetable and flowrer classes. It was also
agreed to have some open classes so that
some outsiders might compete, notably the
Sewickly group.

The advertising committee was instructed
to get out 2000 invitations and a hundred
window placards, the latter to be placed in
, various business houses.
fr Enthusiasm runs high and the best show
ever put on by the Society is promised.

Publicity

The florists of Cleveland have been
scooped by the candy people, and while the
more artistic brethren have been compla-
cently sleeping, the Candy Pushers put over
"The Sweetest Day." On Saturday, Oct. 14,
every candy shop in Cleveland will be
virtually cleaned out of their wares by the
simple process of telling Mr. and Mrs.
Cleveland to buy candy. Every shop shrieks
to the passersby. Billboards and banners
everywhere strive to create a desire for
candy. Full page newspaper ads advise
father to take home a box of sweets to
mother, just as he did when they were
newly wed. The Sunday supplements had
large ads from manufacturers and retailers
and jobbers and the spirit of cooperation
was manifest. ' One prominent retailer told
the writer that he expected to sell as much
candy on Oct. 14 as they usually sell on
Dec. 24.

Florists! Wake up! The usual dollar
that is spent for flowers is going into candy
this Saturday, and the answer is a '.'Say it
with Flowers" week.

The time to put over a mighty floral
festival is in early November when Chrysan-
themums are at their best, when Roses and
Carnations are not at peak prices, when
Autumn foliage lends itself cheaply to the
beautifying of the stores, and when the
florists themselves are "rearing to go"after
the long Summer siesta.

Here is food for thought, you Cleveland
florists! Forget the failure of the one-per cent
plan. Get out and collect for one day. The
success of the first will loosen up the purse
strings for the next one, and the publicity
committee will find that those who shy off
at binding contracts will dig down for a
voluntary contribution.

The candy men have shown you the way.
Now then — up and at them. The psycho-
logical moment has arrived; the buyers strike
is over. Armistice Day could be used as a
lever to hoist the flower dollars out of the
pockets of the candy lovers. Gold Star
mothers as the recipients of free flowers could
be the feature story. Disabled veterans
would also be glad for a handful of blossoms

Let all Cleveland know that we florists
are human. Prove to them that heart and
soul are the compelling influences that are
linked up with the sale and handling of
flowers. In this ultra commercial age, such
sentiments will meet with the instant ap-
proval of the people at large and will react
to the benefit of the florists.

There is practically no limit to the pos-
sibilities of a November Flower Week.
Theatres would gladly help Hospital Boards.
Orphanage patrons and possibly the news-
papers would lend their efforts. But — no
time should be lost. A special meeting of the
Florists Club should be called at once and
special committees appointed. Florists
should compete for a cup for best window
display, to be presented by a movie star.
Get busy before the Community Chest
Drive begins. Let every florist add his
ideas and the floral festival would be a suc-
cess. Let's go

Kansas City, Mo.

Trade Improving

The past week has been marked by
distinct improvement. Roses have been
moving more freely. Chrysanthemums
are increasing, and are of good quality,
selling around 310 and $12 retail.
Dahlias were almost a failure in this
section this Fall, but during the past week
some good samples have come in and
moved well.

The weather continues warm and clear
— evidently helping to sustain the mis-
taken impression of convention visitors
that Kansas City is in the southern zone.
But frost and stormy weather are ex-
pected any day, and with the disappear-
ance of outside flowers there will be simu-
lation to the movement of greenhouse
products. ,

The P. O. P. Week

The revival of the Priests of Pallas
festivities, after 11 years, was expected
to stir business and social activities, but
few outside visitors were observed in the
city, and retail merchandising was not
greatly stimulated. The P. O. P. program
as usual had a parade of decorated floats,
Tuesday evening; a society ball Wednes-
day, and a mask ball Friday. The new
feature was a fashion show in Convention
Hall, Thursday night, when about 100
models appeared in various showings of
women's apparel. The attendance was
about 10,000, mostly paying admission.
, It is reported that next year more stress
will be laid on the fashion showr.

The grand ball of P. O. P. resulted in
a large number of sales of corsages, but

this was about all. A few florists c
some store _ decorating for dry goo
houses, clothiers and jewelers. Autur
foliage and artificial flowers were large
used, with .Celosia the chief cut flow<
A survey of stores during the week ga
the impression that merchants had n
used all the floral resources they mig
have used to help attract favorable atte
tion. Emery, Bird & Thayer Dry Go0'
Co. came nearest to meeting the oppo
tunities, with several windows contamii
pot plants, and with plants in their stor
as decorative items — 200 ferns and pain
being used. There were numerous coi
ments on these windows, because of the
beauty. Harzfeld's Parisian, a high cla;
women's store, also used palms and fen
liberally. W. J. Barnes had the pleasui
of providing the ideas and materials fc
these places. Another striking windo
was that of T. M. James Sons, chinawai
dealers, where Mr. Fitshugh, with tl
Alpha Floral Co., prepared a picture, i
which a cornucopia and silver baskel
with artificial fruit were features. Fres
and artificial flowers and Autumn foliag
were used also.

The few cases in which flowers had bee
used with real effectiveness and in nc
ways were subjects of conversation amon
florists. Some florists who had contract
for decorating remarked that the met
chants had not grasped the possibilitie
of flowers for the purpose, and that ads
quate use of flowers must come gradually
It is said that the fine result in the cas
of the Emery, Bird & Thayer Co. wa
due to the fact that a member of the firr
had seen an elaborate floral display i:
a motor car establishment, where flower
had been a distinctive feature of the decc
rations. This official caught the idea am
therefore made use of it.

An important floral factor in the sue
cess of the week was the decoration o 1 1
Convention Hall for the fashion show (
Convention visitors will recall the spa i
ciousness of the hall. The arena floo
is about 150ft.xl00ft., but what had t<|
be considered in decorating for an even
in which 10,000 people were to be seate<
was the height, 40ft., and the extent iron
wall to wall, about 300ft.x200ft. Sus
pended from the ceiling were 40 basket;
containing red Celosia, Yuva plumes ant
Pampas grass, each decorated with im
mense bows of purple and cerise chiffon
The baskets, from the floor, looked o:
moderate size, but were up to 10ft. high
and to Oft. in diameter, one being 10ft
across. A shell, as the main backgrounc
for the stage, was formed of foliage, anc
in it was a waterfall, with rustic step:
each side of the fall, down which ballet
and other performers walked to the mail
stage, and to the runway on which thi
models paraded. The runway extended
half the length of the hall. This runway
the boxes and the balconies were adornec
with Smilax and other greenery, anc 1
many palms were used in the stage set ■
ting and elsewhere. The W. L. Rock
Flower Co. decorated the hall. Mr. Rock i
is a member of the Merchants' Associa
tion that put on the fashion show, and j
his counsel was sought in other besides
the decorative features.

All the florists put in special windows
for the week, with in some cases placards!
announcing welcome to visitors, or indi-'
eating cooperation in the festivities. The|
windows were chiefly for purposes of at- 1
traeting attention, and while beautiful]
were not necessarily "selling" windows.
The retail business was not considered to I
have been materially stimulated because
of the events, although some florists re-
ported good demand for flowers for social
functions held because of the P. O. P.

News Items

Mr. and Mrs. Chas. E. Heite have
been taking a short vacation in the Ozarks. I
Mr. Heite is vice-president of the W. L. '
Kock Flower Co.

An incident that will appeal to florists
who have had decorative contracts to
execute under difficulties, attended the
adornment of Convention Hall for the
fashion show. The hall had been used
Wednesday evening for the ball ; the
florist workers were given access at 1.30
Thursday morning. The crew of
30 men worked until 1.30 Thurs- 1
day afternoon without interruption. The
afternoon was not so smooth, owing tS j
a rehearsal of models and program per*
formers and a radio baseball score pel£
formance. The work was all done og'
time, however.

•cial is Miss McDaniels, for 11 years head
cashier of the Hotel Baltimore, and
formerly from St. Joseph. The assistant
is needed, not only because of the rapid
growth of the business, but because Man-
ager Parker plans to spend more time in
the future calling on trade in the terri-
tory, and maintaining personal contacts.
The Stuppy Supply Co. in its new location
has wonderfully fine arrangement and
equipment. The striking feature of the
wholesale store, which is on the ground
floor, is the series of rooms, with 14ft.
ceilings, in which respectively baskets,
supplies and artificial flowers are dis-
played. The booths, completely enclosed,
provide for considerable quantities of the
■various items in such arrangement as to
be easily viewed. The establishment has
a large basement for reserve stocks, from
which the display booths are refilled daily.

Active Women Florists

The women florists of Kansas City,
Kan., are real leaders in their community
— as all convention visitors may have
realized because of the successful conduct
"by Mrs. T. A. Moseley in women's local
entertainment affairs of the convention.
Three women florists are members of the
Women's Commercial Cltab of Kansas
City, Kan., and they were hostesses at a
recent dinner of the club, at the Hotel
Grund. They used flowers tastefully and
extensively in the decoration of the room
and tables, and floral subjects charac-
terized the program numbers which they
provided. Mrs. T. A. Moseley, Mrs.
Nellie Hardy and Mrs. Lucy Fields Len-
nert, the last named representing "Fields
Florist," were hostesses. Mrs. Katheriiie
Moseley Beaman sang the Flower Song
from Faust and also the song of the
S. A. F. and 0. H., "Say it with Flowers."
Miss Ann Carter led the club in singing
"Kansas Sunflowers." Mrs. Moseley and
Mrs. Lennert gave short addresses, telling
about operating florists' establishments,
and the ideals which characterize such a
business

St- Louis, Mo.

The Market

The warm jjjgpell ended last week and
the weather at tjme of writing is clear and
cool. The outlooK for trade is good. Quite
a demand for funeral work, many prominent
funerals taking place the first part of the
week. A good demand was caused for cor-
sage bouquets for the V. P. Ball.

Chrysanthemums are now coming more
freely and prices are slightly lower. Carna-
tions are improving, both in size and length
of stem. Prices are quoted from l^c. to 3c.
Roses also are improving.

As Chrysanthemums increase in supply,
other finders will take their share with the
Queen of Autumn. ' Publicity has helped to a
great extent in increasing demand for all
flowers; tihere; is a wonderful increase in
demand. ■ Retadrers are already pushing

Trade Notes

Oct. 7.— After protracted depression
conditions point to a speedy advance in the
general trade. The past Summer having
been favorable to garden flowers, and up to
the present no frost, there has been an
abundance of outdoor stock in home gardens
and business was about one-third of a normal
Summer trade. All stores have felt the
depression but nevertheless they are op-
timistic regarding the future. During the
pasl week there- has been a decided spurt.
Home grown Chrysanthemums are coming in
and are handled in preference to Californian
Stock, Pompons, are also on the market and
are taken 'very readily. Roses of all grades
are plentiful; Cnrnations are improving in
quality. Pot plants are making their apr
pearance; ferns in all sizes are moving freely
and good ojiality stock realizes high prices.
Quite a number of advance orders for decora-
tions and WL-dclings arc on file.

Owing to the long drought and warm
weather, planting of shrubs and trees has
not yet started. Minnesota experienced the
warmest September in fifty-two years.
With the building of many new homes there
are great opportunities for landscape work.

Mrs. Swanson lately of Swanson's Inc.
together with Mrs. Geo. McArthur, have
opened a large, spacious store on Nicollet
ave., Minneapolis. The past, experience of
Mrs. Swanson will warrant her a select
clientele. The trade wishes her success.

The University Flower Shop reports a
heavy start in business since the opening of
the University. The McArthur store re-
cently under the name of J. J. West has been
remodeled and the conservatories redecor-
ated.

Rice reports a marked increase in business
the last ten days, especially with country
orders, the only trouble is not being able to
get sufficient variety of stock. O.R. Eckhardt
also reports increase in country orders.

The Twin City Florists are sponsors for a
Flower Festival to be held in Minneapolis
in the near future. Instead of guaranteeing
monies to the fund, arrangements are
being made by the retailers to buy blocks of
tickets to give as complimentary to their
patrons.

Bulb shipments are arriving; the French
stock appears to have been delivered but
many of the growers canceled part of their
orders owing to the high prices and to the

improbability of being able to dispose of the
flowers at a profitable turnover. Some
Dutch bulbs have arrived and appear to be
in exceptionally good condition.

Oct. 7. — Business still languishes; but
for a fair amount of funeral work every
now and again, there would be very little
doing indeed. The stores are making a
gallant display in the effort to interest
the flower buyers, and some nice 'Mums
are seen in the windows. But with Sum-
mer temperatures prevailing; and the>
Summer resorts in full swing, little is
doing in the cut flower trade.

We have had an abnormal Summer, the
beat and drought being most exceptional.
We have not had a good rain since the
first week in July, and on top of this
neai'ly broke the heat records for August
and September, and certainly so far in
October, with the result that stock in
the greenhouses has not put on the growth
we like to see, and it may possibly cut
into the season's clip.

Outdoor flowers are still available, and
the flower beds of Geraniums and so on
are in fine shape, although the heat and
drought have bared the trees of their foli-

age, making a Summer and Winter effect
at the same time.

The coal situation remains much the
same, that is, plenty to be had at a price,
about $4 above contract price, a form of
graft the governor is going to try and
stop, having called a special session for
the purpose of enacting laws relating to
it. The present price of coal will compel
the growers to hustle to make expenses
this Winter, and it will or should not be
surprising if he follows the example of
the coal dealers, etc., and bases his holi-
day prices on what the traffic will stand,
in order to break even. In times of ample
supplies he must take what he can get
for his flowers, and often below cost of
production, hence to continue in business
and save his investment he must mala
his expenses while the going is good.

This situation, however, is about as oh
as the trade itself, and notwithstanding
the numerous associations and the bright
intelligent men connected thereunto, little
or nothing has been accomplished in find
ing out production costs or stabilizing fair
and reasonable prices. S. B.

At a recent flower show one compel;
tor was disqualified because he had 1
vegetables in his collections instead of
12, as per schedule. The reporter askei.: :
"What's the matter, boys, do you need
an adding- machine? Englishmen ma;
arid an extra one for good measure, bur
what is the excuse for a Scot, d'ya ken .'

The Market

Oct. 10. — On Saturday of last week,
the demand for cut flowers at wholesale in
the morning hours, was somewhat more
than on Monday of this week, and today
it is most disappointingly small.

American Beauty Roses are in more than
usually large supply but the demand for
them is extremely weak. Under these con-
ditions, prices have declined; 15c. to 40c.
each for special grade blooms, and to pro-
portionate prices for those of other grades;
even at these figures nothing approaching a
clean-up results and accumulations are large.
In other Roses the arrivals are far more than
sufficient to meet present requirements.
Prices on all grades have declined and show
a tendency to a still lower range of prices.
Special grade blooms in general are bringing
8c. and occasionally 10c. each; Crusader is
realizing 15c, Hadley 20c, and Key 30c.
each, but are going very slowly at these
prices. No. 2 grade blooms have reached a
very low level of prices, the best of them
with difficulty realize SI to SI. 50 a 100 in
general, and job lots are carried away at
much lower prices.

Carnations are in larger supply and in
smaller demand. Under these conditions
the general range of price is from SI to S2 a
100, with occasional sales of the choicest
blooms at S2.50 to S3.

Cattleyas are in much larger supply and
the demand is far from active. Prices are
lower, ranging from 25c to 60c and occa-
sionally in the cases of extra choice blooms,
75c each. The price of Gardenias is_, in
comparison with other flowers at this time,
rather high, not because of the large demand,
but because of the small arrivals. These are
selling at S3 to S4 and occasionally S5 per
doz. The arrivals of Lilies are more abun-
dant; they are moving out slowly at a lower
range of prices, namely S20 to S25 a 100.
Lily of the Valley is meeting with a much
less demand at prices ranging from SI to S6
and, in occasional small sales of extra choice
stock, S8 per 100.

'Mums are rapidly becoming the dominant
flower in the market. There is a much larger
range of varieties and colors. The quality
in general is excellent and prices range from
SI to S6 per doz. There are small arrivals
also of bunch 'Mums which are selling at
50c to 75c per bunch.

The arrivals of Dahlias continue to be
large. The blooms of mediocre to medium
quality are moving out very slowly at Slto
S2, and occasionally S3 per 100; a large num-
ber of them are either sold in job lots at much
lower prices than just quoted or are carried
away to the dump. The higher class blooms
are doing a little better, but these too are
moving slowly and at lower prices, namely
S4 to $5, and in occasional sales of some extra
choice blooms, S6 a 100.

There are medium to large arrivals of mis-
cellaneous outdoor grown flowers which, in
most cases are being disposed of at buyer's
prices.

In indoor grown greens, Asparagus is the
leader, but that is moving all too slowly.
In outdoor greens bows of Oak leaves are
the dominant feature. These are meeting
with a considerable demand.

Chrysanthemum Show of the Horticul-
tural Society

The Horticultural Society of New
York will hold an exhibition of Chrysanthe-
mums and other flowers and plants in the
American Museum of Natural History,
Central Park West and 77th St., November
9 to 12. This exhibition will be open on
the evening of the first day, from 7 to 10
o'clock especially fttr the members of the
society, the Museum and affiliated organiza-

tions. On Friday and Saturday it will be
open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and from 7 to
10 p.m. and on Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m.
The schedule provides premiums for Chrys-
anthemum plants and cut flowers; for cut
blooms of Roses, Carnations and orchids;
for foliage, decorative and orchid plants, for
dinner table decorations and for vegetables
and fruit. A grand sweepstakes prize, the
Society's Silver Cup valued at S100, is offered
for the best exhibit of the show.

A Hallowe'en Window

The Kervan Company, 119 West
2Sth st. have, this week, a Hallowe'en win-
dow which is more than ordinarily well ar-
ranged and attractive. On a background of
burnt orange-colored metalline, set off with
long loops of burnt orange and black fancy
chiffon, are intermingled sprays of Bitter-
sweet and ears of White Cap Dent Corn on
its own stalks partly husked, so as to show
the kernels. On the window floor, which is
covered with red oak foliage and meadow
hay, are genuine big yellow field pumpkin
Jack o' Lanterns, to which are attached
narrow ribbons of black and burnt orange
color, which appear to suspend the Jack
o 'Lanterns to the ceiling. Lying on the
window floor are bolts of yellow and of black
ribbon and rolls of yellow crepe paper. At
the corner of the window, outside, is a large
sheaf of corn on the stalks and more Bitter-
sweet berries. A half curtain of burnt orange
colored metalline at the top of the window
front adds to the finish of the whole. This
Hallowe'en window is attracting much de-
served attention from passersby.

McConnell Nursery Leased

Alfred H. Pike, who went over with
the Canadian contingent in 1916, remaining
till the end of the war, has leased, with the
privilege of buying, the Alexander McConnell
Nurseries and Greenhouses known as The
Woodside Nurseries at New Rochelle, New
York. Mr. Pike, since the war, was with
Albert W. Wadley of the Bronxville Nursery
New York, and before coming to this
country was formerly at the Royal Palace
Gardens, Windsor.

Secretary John Young left on the midnight
train Monday for Baltimore to attend the
F. T. D. Convention, which is being held in
that city this week.

We noted this week, a full line of 'Mums at
the Henshaw Floral Co.; particularly fine
were some blooms of Sun Glow, which are
realizing the highest market prices. These
are the first of this variety, so far as we have
observed, coming into the market this season.
Other varieties noted were Tints of Gold,
Early Rose, Early White Frost, Unaka, both
bronze and pink. The vase of blooms of the
new Rose, Commonwealth, which A. N.
Pierson, Cromwell, Conn., is distributing,
and which was shown at the Florists' Club
on Monday night of this week, were on ex-
hibition at the store of this company, and
attracted much attention and many favor-
able comments.

It's a little early yet to expect to see any
good Sweet Peas in the Wholesale Cut
Flower market, but we noted some of more
than ordinary excellence for October at
James Rutig & Co.'s, 43 W. ISth St., this
week, and also blooms of Chrysolora 'Mums
of more than usual good quality.

We saw this week at William Mackie's
an attractive new Chrysanthemum, which
has been named My Rose. The blooms are
of the broad, recurved type: the color is an
attractive light rose pink. The flowers are
held erect on strong, stiff stems and have
every appearance of being good keepers.

Carl Giessler, manager of Max Schling,
Inc., seed store, gave a 20 minute talk
on "How to Plant Bulbs" from the wire-
less station at Newark, N. J., on Satur-
day, Oct. 2. Mr. Geissler is a practical
horticulturist and his talk was picked up
in many sections and listened to with a
great deal of interest.

we have ever handled, and at prices within

SPECIAL ATTENTION TO SHIPPING ORDERS

On Monday last the National Publicity
Committee held an all day session at
S. A. F. headquarters, 43 W. ISth St.,
with a full attendance of the gentlemen
mentioned in our issue of Oct. 7, page
950. At 12.30 on Tuesday morning the
committee left for Baltimore, so as to
be in that city at the opening of the F. T.
D. meeting.

Mr. and Mrs. Signard Nathan, brother-
in-law and sister of Jack Trepel of
Brooklyn are starting on a world tour on
Friday. They will be absent about three
years and will take in Europe, the Far
East, Australia and Japan.

Mr. Nathan has interests in financial
matters, but also has a keen love for
horticulture, so that he will be on the
watch for anything that relates to the
florist's business.

Roman J. Irwin, Charles Scott, Wallace
R. Pierson and Ernest Gude left this
week on their annual hunting trip in the
Province of New Brunswick. Ihey ex-
pect to be away about three weeks.

To Baltimore — With the Brooklyn Boys
in Particular

The happiest and friendliest kind of
delegation left on the 11.15 a.m. train out
of the Perm. Station, New York, on Monday,
Oct. 9, to attend the F. T. D. meeting at
Baltimore.

"Tell it not in Gath," but shout it from
the house tops that while New York may be
and undoubtedly is, here, Brooklyn also has
"arrived." Phillips, Wilson and the rest
of the clan had it all fixed to come by auto;
that is, everything was fixed but the auto.
A last minute reservation secured them a

Chicago

lie Market

Oct. 10. — The wholesale market took

l a decided change for the better the end

the past week. Cooler weather put con-

derable snap into flower buying. There

as at the same time, a remarkable falling
i in the supply of all outdoor stock. Gladioli
id Asters are practically if not all gone, and
:her miscellaneous stock from outdoors has
■ached the end of its season. This combina-
on has brought a tightened market edi-
tion— something that was devoutly prayed
»r, and not before it was due, being well
ast scheduled time, compared with other
;asons.

The market opened Monday on a sub-
iantial basis and it is generally conceded it
ill remain so for a long time to come. That
good season has just opened everyone
grees. Prices are advancing now that the
utdoor stock is gone and the greenhouse
roducts not yet at the fullness of their

ipply.

The supply of Ptoses is, so far, sufficient
>r all demand with nothing to spare. Just
ow they will measure up to the increased
emand of the week on account of conditions
foresaid, it is difficult to say; one fact
owever, is that there is no oversupply in

sight for a long time as growers are pinching
for later cuts when the 'Mum season is over.
Short stock is selling at S3 per 100 and then
all the way up to $25 for the fancy grades.

Carnations are becoming more plentiful
and finding more favor with buyers now that
the Asters are past. The quality so far, is
not more than ordinary; price runs from
SI to S3 per 100.

Chrysanthemums are fast assuming a
prominent position on the market; so far,
the California grown stock has had the call.
Not because the tr.ade likes them better
but because the local crops are all late and
the stock from the coast was all that was
available. The local crops have come in
only in small quantities but it is believed
before the end of the present week, the local
supply will be large enough to take care of
all immediate demand.

There are still a few late Glads, and some
belated Asters, but they have lost in favor
with the buyers. There is enough of Valley
and the supply of orchids is improving, ap-
parently equal to the requirements of the
market. While there is no very large supply
of Easter Lilies, there is sufficient for the
time being. Sweet Peas have been retarded
somewhat, owing to warm weather, but
growers state there will be good stock and
plenty of it from now on, since more propi-
tious weather for their growing has arrived.
There are a good many Calendulas and some
of the early cut of greenhouse grown Snap-
dragons. There is an abundance of ferns,
and southern wild Smilax is going into
storage in large quantities.

News Notes

Fifty-one years ago, Sunday last,
Mrs. O'Leary's cow kicked a lamp over that
started the great Chicago fire. There was a
gathering of old firemen on Sunday in the
city hall who took part in fighting the great
fire. They were shown in one of the daily
papers holding large bunches of Roses in
their arms, and each of the veterans wearing
a Rose on their coat lapel.

E. C. Amling, of the E. C. Amling Co.
returned from California the past week
looking well and enjoying perfect health.
While he likes the climate of the Pacific
Coast he also likes to meet and mingle with
his Chicago friends and business associates.

Otto H. Amling, who has been spending a
few months in Europe, is due to reach his

P. W. Peterson, Joliet, was up Monday on
a buying trip; he reports business good in
his city.

Eric Buchholz, Muncie, Ind., was in the
city Monday on his way home from a two
months' trip to Germany. While in Germany
he helped to inaugurate the movement, for
Mother's Day. There was a determination
on the part of some of the florists there to
hold this day of observance in October.
Mr. Buchholz states he was instrumental in
getting them to adopt the same day as is
observed in this country. The German
people in this country who might want to
remember their mother in Germany would
more readily do so when the same day is
observed, and the same spirit of motherly
love simultaneously rife in both countries.
G. W. Haeger, formerly with the Geo
Wittbold Co. is now with the North Western
Pottery Company as sales manager. This
company has recently been reorganized with
new members and increased capital on which
to operate. The establishment and offices
of the company are at 5220-30 Norwood
Park ave., corner of Foster ave., and has an
annual capacity of 25,000,000 flower pots.
The seed store formerly conducted by the
Everette R. Peacock Co. on Halsted st.
between Randolph and Lake sts. is offered
for sale together with the entire stock of
seeds, tools, fertilizer and general store
equipment. It is close to the old Haymarket
where the truck farmers for miles around
bring their products daily for sale and is a
splendid location.

The Ove Gnatt Co. has just issued a 50-
page catalog of preserved foliage, art flowers
florist's supplies, and decorative novelties.
It is profusely illustrated with the complete
line of goods the company has to offer.

Tony Einwick, formerly with the Poehl-
mann Bros. Co. at Morton Grove, who has
since been in Denver, Colo., is back in the
city and has accepted a position with the
same company. This time he is connected

with the supply department and will travel
for the company.

Dave Geddis, of the St: Louis Wholesale
Cut Flower Co. was in the city Monday.
He says his new houses of Roses are doing
well and is pinching for a big Christmas crop.
Incidentally he is boosting for the great
Chrysanthemum show Nov. 7 to 12 to be
held in connection with the Chrysanthemum
Society of America meeting and exhibition.
Cash for the guarantee fund has come in so
freely the committee refused further financial
support. The sum of $20,000 is required for
the rent and decoration of the Coliseum
where the show is to be held.

It now develops that the dates of the
St. Louis Flower Show conflict with those
of the Florist Club meeting in November
to be held at the Hans Jepson greenhouses
at May wood, Nov. 9. It is proposed that
the officers and directors of the club get
together and make arrangements for holding
the next meeting of the club either one week
earlier, or later as may be deemed best so
as not to conflict with the St. Louis show.

The D. Hill Nursery Co., Dundee,
111., is sending to this market some choice
evergreens for tubbing. Smallea" ones
for window boxes are also in good de-
mand. California grown Boxwoods, in
both pyramid as well as globe shaped, are
meeting with much favor with the trade.

E. W. McLellan, the San . Francisco
wholesaler, stopped here for a few days
on his return from a trip to the eastern
cities. He attended the meeting of the
Florists Club at Stielow Bros, last week,
and was very much pleased with all he
saw there in the way of oil heating. He
has shipped a great many Chrysanthe-
mums here during the past month. Ex-
tremely warm weather caused a portion
of the shipments to' reach here in poor
condition.

"JAY EM" says:

From a Doubtful Source

On South State st. it is the custom of
colored venders of cut flowers to sell to
passersby when the stock can be picked
up for little or nothing, as in times of
pversupply on the wholesale cut flower
market.

One customer seemed so well pleased
with his flowers that he asked the sales-
man: "Where did you get those fine
flowers ?" The darky looked surprised
and said: "You f'om de North side?''
he queried. "Yes," replied the customer,
"But why do you ask me that?" "Mis-
ter," said the colored man, "No genTmn
f'om de South side eber asks a nigger
whar he gits his flowers."

The Market

Oct. 10. — Considering that last
week the weather was rainy, dull and un-
friendly, it is only natural that stock
is arriving in not too great quantities.
The demand has been fair and steady
enough to clear the tables daily of every-
thing worth buying. To tell the truth,
business has slackened up a little, but
not to an alarming degree so far.

Roses have gained not a little in price
and quality since the late hot spell has
passed on, and some rather good flowers
are now to be had. Hadley, Premier and
Columbia are well represented. Nest
come Ophelia, Butterfly, Pilgrim and Cru-
sader. Ward seems, so far, to have given
way to Butterfly and Golden Ophelia.
Long stemmed Roses are rather scarce,
nor are they much in demand. American
Beauty bring up to 35c. for specials,
with some extra fine lots doing some bet-
ter. The supply is more than sufficient.
The price may be said to have bettered
by 2c. alL round, reaching 12c. to 15c.
for 18in. to 21in. stock of ordinary sorts,
and 20c. to 25c. for Hadley, Russell and
Crusader.

Carnations are doing pretty well and
clearing daily at 3c. to 4c. Maine Sun-
shine, Laddie, Lassie and some of the
newer kinds make from 5c. to 6c, but
there are few of these offered.

Chrysanthemums are less prevalent than
what they have been in other years at
this time. The only other variety, outside
of the several Frosts, Halliday, Chryso-
lora and Smith's Advance, is Unaka, of
which a few small lots have shown up.
The best of these realize $4 per doz.

Ordinary grades go at from $1.50 to $2.50
per doz. and. sell none too well. One or
two lots of Pompons have come to the
market.

White Lilies are here again in fair
supply, being offered at 16c. to 20c, and
finding few takers. Quite a few pink
speciosums are also to be seen. Delphini-
ums, Bouvardias, Calendulas, Bachelor
Buttons and other odds and ends find a
nominal demand at usual prices. There
are still many Helichrysums and other
everlastings to be had, and some Agera-
tums.

Asters are not quite done yet, but
what there are left are not much good
on the whole and sell for what they may
bring. Some, very few, good Asters go
as high as 3c. and 4c Gladioli are done
for this season.

Cattleyas in several varieties are now
more easily to be had, also Cypripediums

Philadelphia

The week of Oct. 1 has been a weather
week. Everything looked promising the
week before, and then a hot dry spell
hit the market. By Saturday the Dah-
lias and Roses were coming in heavily.

A number of wholesale houses found
heavy shipments on their hands Saturday
and hoped to get rid of them — as they
would have in the ordinary course of
events. But the weather man stepped in
again and it rained, so that even the
chance of dumping to the fakirs was gone.

At time of writing (Oct. 9) it is up
to the weather entirely if the market
gluts or not. A cold snap soon would
probably stop most of the damage. Con-
tinued warm weather will make a heavy
surplus. Dahlias were in immense quan-
tity Oct. 9 and were mostly good stock.
Prices remained about the same.

The big item of the week is the first
appearance of Chrysanthemums in quan-
tity. The warm weather again. Smith's
Advance is, perhaps, in greatest quantity.
Some outdoor Pompons are also to be
seen.

Roses are about as heavy as last week
and quality shows no change for the bet-

tun began."

Then at Baltimore, through the effort of
those Baltimoreans who are determined to
make this the greatest F. T. D. meeting ever
held, including the ever faithful "Exchange"
correspondent, Robert Halliday, cars were
in readiness to whisk the party to the
iunerson and other hotels.
_ You may have heard a Metropolitan tenor
sing "Thank God for a Garden." With the
Baltimore hotels filled to the point of adding
cots in their large rooms to "sleep" all the
delegates, those who sent cheques with their
reservations are going through the lobby
humming "Thank Heaven for a Room."

The roster of the jovial party that came
by aforesaid 11.1,5 was: From Brooklyn,
Wm. A. Phillips, R. G. Wilson, W. L. Grev,
A. M. Dauernheimer of J. Ebb Wier; H. H.
Jahr, G. Hanig, and James Hagerup of
Applegate's; from New York: Mrs. A. War-
endorff, M. H. Levine, M. Selinka and
C. Lowther; from Chicago, via New York,
F. N. Suttle, and Geo. Mohn of E. C. Am-
hng's; together with J. H. Van Water,
Jamaica, N. Y., Mr. and Mrs. C. Weber
and daughter, Lynbrook, N. Y., Julius
Roehrs, Rutherford, N. J., and J. J. Kairns
and J. G. Goudy of Dreer's, who climbed
aboard at Philadelphia.

On the train leaving the Pennsvlvania
Terminal at 12.30 a.m. on Tuesday morn-
ing for Baltimore, were the following gen-
tlemen, the greater number of whom had
been in attendance at the meeting of
the National Publicity Committee held
in the S. A. F. & 0. H. offices, 43 West

W. J. Davis and his grower, C. G. An-
derson, of Terre Haute, Ind., were inter-
ested spectators at the establishment of
Stielow Bros, last Thursday. Mr. An-
derson is producing a good' line of pot
plants for the trade, and has established
a good market for same in Chicago.

The Irving Stein Co. is now comfortably
housed in its new quarters at 1254 W.
15th St., having leased a four story build-
ing for ten years, at a term rental of
§30,000. Supplies will be handled on a
large scale, and a basket manufacturing
department is being installed.
Oil Burning Progress

J. W. Ensweiler, with greenhouses
and store at 3525 Morgan St., has just
installed an oil burning system. It was
given a tryout the past week and ap-
peared to be entirely satisfactory. The
equipment including storage 'tank and
burner cost $1300. So long as fuel oil
remains at the price it is now, or even
allowing for slight fluctuations in price
he is of the opinion that it will be a sav-
ing to florists to use oil instead of coal,
.florists, especially those who have their
greenhouses within eitv limits, where the
smoke nuisance would cause trouble,
should adopt the oil heating system, even
though it might cost them more. It will
keep them out of trouble with the smoke
inspectors.

The oil heating problem is assuming
definite shape around Chicago. As Mr
Crane announced in his address at Stielow
Bros, last week, his company was install-
ing an oil burning system for Bassett &
Washburn at their greenhouses near Hins-
dale J. his is an important announce-
ment as this is one of the largest ranges
ot glass producing cut flowers for the
t-hieago market. When the installation
is complete it will be one of the largest
oil burning establishments in the Middle
V\ -st, and possibly in the entire country
beven boilers, each of 150 horse power,
are being equipped with burners. The
storage tank is to be of concrete, with a
capacity of 25 ears of crude oil. Every
feature of the installation is to be of
the most approved character. Two large
boilers are to be reserved for coal heating
in case ot need. The firing of the boiler!
from the rear instead of the front is an
innovation that is believed by the engi-
neers will be a matter of great conveni-
ence.

Weiss & Meyer, the well known Rose
growers at May wood, are equipping one
ot their boilers with an oil burner as a
tryout before going into it on a larger
scale. Paul Weiss is of the opinion that
oil heating is much harder on the boilers
than coal, the heat being more intense-
this will shorten the life of the boilers. '

Brooklyn Botanic Gardens

A Ramble by Woolgatherer

Doubtless many people have never vis-
ited the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, yet
the florist and the landscape man could
pick up pointers there from time to time,
and especially in the Spring. My main
purpose of visiting the garden recently
was to see how the hardy Asters (Mich-
aelmas Daisies) were doing. I was too
late to see the bulk of the small flowered
varieties, but in the main most of the
sorts had done well. Montague Free,
horticulturist in charge, arranged for a
consignment of some 60 varieties while
in England last year; the roots when re-
ceived this Spring, were first potted up
and nursed along as they had not had
a happy time. They were out in a
border near the offices; incidentally, these
offices are both elaborate and uptodate.

Among this collection, varieties that
were godd and in their prime or
just passing over, were Sweetheart and
Maidenhood among small flowered types;
Brightness, blue; Louvain, pink; Hon.
Edith Gibbs, Chastity, Bluebeard, Ypres,
blush, Belgian Queen, Ccerulea, lilac; Lady
Lloyd, pink; Marne, pink; Rapture and
Namur, pink, were of the larger flow-
ered type, mostly of the Novre-Belgii
type. These vary from 2ft. to 5ft. tall,
the flowers likewise varying in size, form
and dispensation. Some are densely flow-
ered, others are more spreading. Mildew
was visible in some instances; for some
reason Asters when cultivated are apt
to get this disease, even the wildings.

Brooklyn Botanic Garden is not in any
sense a display park; it is open to the
public and there are no oppressive restric-
tions; maybe it would be more appre-
ciated if there were, for some of the chil-
dren and not a few of the grownups who
Hock into the gardens on Sundays and
holidays, pay little regard to the labor
and worry they entail. A gardener can-
not but feel sore when he finds it neces-
sary to run barbed wire among the Rho-
dodendrons and, let me say it, these grow
magnificently although the notorious bug
has to be fought. Mr. Free believes that
there are more kinds of bugs to be found
in Brooklyn than anywhere, it is one in-
cessant fight. The big plantations of
native Azaleas, etc., are doubtless par-
tially responsible; certainly the foreign
pests are no worse than the rest. The
borers are always around and despite the
constant chasiug of these various pests,
they never grow less.

Another thing to make a fellow sore is
the manner in which visitors treat one
of the best bits of rock building any-
where around New York; it's a good ob-
ject lesson, showing what can be done
with the native stones, not always of the
best. This rockery entailed much labor
—some of the stones weigh tons, but vis-
itors, children particularly, have done so
much injury to stock, that the whole will
probably be fenced in. Plants are trampled
upon, big stones weighing 200 or 300 lbs.
were even pushed over into the pool, while
the thieving of rarer Alpine plants indi-
cates that someone with knowledge is no
better than he or she might be.

The Japanese garden, too, is splendid;
this is the real thing and in the Spring
with its Iris display, it must be a delight-
ful spot. This garden is certainly one
of the cleverest pieces of garden construc-
tion I have ever seen in a public park.

As a show place beyond these two
special features, the garden is not yet
of great account. There are plenty of
walks, and abundance of water; the
brooks and lakes are practically all ar-
tificial and fed with city water. The
various beds are largely devoted to eco-
nomic plants for educational purposes,
and in the Fall are not attractive. That
notorious weed, Galinsoga parviflora, the
beastly little miniature Daisy, which is
known to many, is, of course, abundant;
the enormous quantities brought in to
make the park and the various mounds
are responsible for many of the weeds
and pests, too. Mr. Free first became
acquainted with the character of Galin-
soga at Kew, where it is called the
Kew weed. The beast doubtless got there
by way of imports from U. S., but it is
not found in other parts of England.

There are lots of good shrub borders
in the garden, and anyone could see much
in the Spring. Viburnum theiferum
bearing masses of red berries was fine
in late September; here's a shrub worth
planting and it can be cut for decorative
purposes.

and Lily of the Valley. The latter is now
Sc. to 10c. Sweet Peas are improving
fast and are more plentiful. The best
bring 2c. Violets and Pansies, too, are
better; either selling for from 75c. to $1
per 100, but the demand is not great by
any means.

There is a good supply of hardy ferns
and Galas, also of both kinds of Aspara-
gus, all at the usual figures.

Of pot plants there is a good supply of
Ficus, Boston ferns, Cyclamen, Melior
and Cincinnati Begonias, Dracaenas, Cro-
tons, etc.
News Notes

Lester Mann of the Mann Co.,
Randolph, Mass., is showing at the Flower
Exchange Market some sprays of Syrmga
Marie le Graye, the result of a rather
erratic behavior of some of the plants in
his garden.

Horticultural Hall, on Hunting-
ton ave. and Massachusetts ave.,
the splendid home of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society, has lately received
a good deal of attention at the hands of
painters, decorators and other artisans.
The walls and ceilings are sporting a new
coat of paint, and other improvements
have been taken care of. The entire floor of
the large main exhibition hall has been
taken up and a fine cement floor has taken
the place of the former wooden one.
The valuable oil painting portraits of the
founders of the society and of its former
presidents have been re-varnished so that
the countenances of the venerated person-
ages shine with a new lustre. Horticul-
tural Hall, when not used for horticul-
tural exhibitions, is always in great de-
mand for social functions or industrial
exhibitions, every day being spoken for
during the coming Winter season.

Dolansky-McDonald Co., who are the
sole distributors of the immense output
from Wm. Sim's Carnation establish-
ment in Cliftondale, are now receiving
large shipments of high grade flowers of
all the most popular varieties. Matchless,
Ward, Benora, Aviator and Morning Glow
have never been better, and to say that
Grace Coolidge, Maine Sunshine, Lassie,
Hope Henshaw and Laddie could not pos-
sibly be improved upon is simply telling
the truth. Mr. Sims new introductions,
the gold and rose-tinted Gold Dust; the
handsome, variegated Eldorado, and a new
fine medium pink, as yet unnamed, will
be a genuine surprise to the trade. These
varieties have proved to Mr. Sim that
they are worthy, and when Mr. Sim comes
to this conclusion, it means a lot.
Dolansky-McDonald are also handling all
the products from the Frank Dolansky
greenhouses at Lynn. That Mr. Dolansky's
orchid houses contain somewhere around
100,000 plants of the best commercial
varieties is well known, as is also the
fact that Mr. Dolansky has, for many
years, and most successfully, tried his
hand in the hybridization of orchids for
commercial purposes, having raised many
thousands of seedlings. Of these, hun-
dreds have arrived at the flowering stage
after the usual period of from six to eight
years, and the results have met the high-
est expctaticms. Many of the new hybrids
are extremely pleasing in form and color,
and are meeting with instant approval on
the part of retailer and public alike.
Qu. 37 has no terrors for Mr. Dolansky.
He also grows fine crops of Ophelia,
Premier and Butterfly Roses, and supplies
the firm of Dolansky-McDonald with great
quantities of Lily of the Valley. Of the
standard varieties of Chrysanthemums, a
good many are also grown and disposed of
m the firm's city store.

The Dolansky-McDonald Co. are to be
congratulated upon the phenomenal suc-
cess which has attended their competent,
businesslike methods. Within the short
lapse of about three years, the firm has
forced itself into the front rank of New
England wholesale florists. Their ship-
ping department has again needed en-
largement, and is kept Dusy to the ut-
most at all times.

John J. O'Brien's large store on Beacon
St. has undergone a thorough renovation
at the hands of the painters and decora-
tors. The walls and fixtures shine with
creamy-white enamel; the ceiling is a
pure white, and a large number of fine

Ealms, Crotons, Ivies and other plants
ave been used with great effect to beau-
tify the always impressive interior. The
large show refrigerator is filled with a
complete assortment of the choicest flow-
ers and each vase displays a label, telling
the public at a glance the price of each
item. M. O'Brien introduced this inno-
vation several years ago, and one or two
other stores in the city nave since followed
his example. He says that he cannot for

the life of him see why a flower store
should not exhibit the prices as well as
stores selling other commodities. He is
fortunate to have a great expanse along
the two fronts of his store, and he is
using his opportunity by having an ap-
propriate display of evergreens ranged
along the wide sidewalks. Here are to
be seen large and small Abies, Firs,
Cedars, Thuyas, Retinisporas and other
evergreens for hall, porch and interior
Winter decoration. Mr. O'Brien has
worked up a fine trade in this important
side line, and never fails to make a trip
or two to one of the best nurseries where
he, personally, selects the most suitable
specimens.

Mark Roper, Jr., the six year old son
of Mark Roper, Carnation grower of
Tewksbury, Mass., had the misfortune of
badly maiming two fingers of the right
hand while playing around the concrete
mixing machine in his father's greenhouse,
on Oct. 6.

Mrs. Frank Putnam, wife of the noted
Carnation and Chrysanthemum grower of
North Tewksbury, Mass., died of Bright s
disease, on Oct. 5, and was laid to rest
in the Lowell Cemetery, on Oct. 8. Mr.
Putnam has the sincere sympathy of his
numerous friends in his bereavement,
more so, as he himself is just slowly re-
cuperating from a severe bodily affliction.

At Carbone's, on Boylston st., we no-
ticed a unique and novel display of Cali-
fornia Redwood chips in vases, bowls and
jars, which are making growths from the
apparently lifeless bark. Knobs and ex-
crescences cut from the tree will start a
lively, fern-like display of green shoots
when set into water, without much trouble
or delay.
The New England Florists Alliance

Has taken on a new lease of life
in that it is increasing its membership
and florists are looking forward to a suc-
cessful Fall and Winter business m all
branches of the trade. The Alliance,
through its Board of Directors, has start-
ed to do some constructive advertising.
Sketches and samples prepared by Major
O'Keef e have been passed on by the big flo-
rists of Boston, and met with popular fa-
vor, as a beginner of this most important
part of their business. This organization
will continue to function as a medium for
the grower and retailer alike to get the
viewpoint of each other and where the
troubles seeming and otherwise can be
talked over to the advantage of all con-
cerned.

Advertising, both local and national,
is a stimulant for any line of business
more especially that of the florists. All
progressive florists should get behind it
and give it a boost.

Woburn, Mass. — Business is growing at
the Sweetheart Flower Shop, owned by
Harry Coda, for in order to insure
prompt deliveries, he has purchased an
attractive delivery truck.

Philadelphia

(Continued from page J 029)
shipper said: "I have in my office letters
from people who want Philadelphia stock,
but they can't get it. There is no longer
an express service."

Notes

Mr. and Mrs. Sidney H. Bayers-
dorfer were at Baltimore during the F.
T. D. A. convention.

Carl Corts arrived back on Mole st.
Oct. 6 after an extended tour to Detroit
and Indianapolis, and many intermediate
points.

Recent visitors in Philadelphia in-
cluded: Wm. N. Stiefel, U. S. Botanical
Gardens, Washington, D. C; Joseph R.
Mumbauer and Son, Pennsburg, Pa.; W.
J. Stroh, Forty Fort, Pa., and George
H. Glaentze.1 and family, Rockland, Me.

Philadelphia visitors to the F. T. D.
A. convention will be listed in the regu-
lar report of that gathering.

Some nice Sweet Peas were noted at
George Aeugle's establishment Oct. 9.

The Evergreen Supply Co. at 1625 Ran-
stead st. reported themselves well pleased
with their first week's business.

Baseball

It is over. The long fought battle,
as usual, has ended in a victory for the
winner — and we always pick the win-
ner to win, so we weren't the least sur-
prised.

There was only a fair crowd at 63d
and Spruce the afternoon of Oct. 8, but
the old game could have been staged in
the New York Polo grounds without
shame — judging from World Series re-
ports. (This isn't meant as a dig at
the Florists' League, though it may sound
that way.)

Final score was 9 to 7 in favor of
Bayersdorfer — but it wasn't a walk-over,
by any means. At the sixth inning, in
fact, Bickmore was ahead.

Sidney Bayersdorfer said he didn't
know where to put the cup yet, but he'd
manage to find a place if be had to build
an extension to the building at 12th and
Arch.

It has been suggested that the presen-
tation be made more formally than last
year; in fact, that it be presented by the
chairman of the sports committee at the
next meeting of the Florists Club. So
far this is only a suggestion.

At Norwood

The Robert Craig Co. was busy as
usual last week when we visited that es-
tablishment. Stock was looking fine and
business mighty promising.

Macaw Bros, was in tiptop condition
and Mr. Macaw said that already he had
been forced to sell some ferns he would
have liked to keep until later.

Retailers

Pennock Bros, were busy Oct. 10
on a pall for the funeral of Mrs. Anna
Wills Baugh, whose husband was formerly
connected wih the Baugh Fertilizer Co.
The base was 3ft.x7ft. and of heavy
trimmed green plush. The color scheme
was white and green, worked out with
Sweet Peas, Valley, Roses and geens.

Charles P. Poryzees, lately returned
from Greece, is now manager of Frank
Polites, at 1420 Chestnut st. Mr. Poryzees

said that he was glad to get back to
America, and has nothing very pleasant
to say for conditions in his mother coun-
try in the Mediterranean.

Frank Van Roden, reported to have
opened his store at 6225 Landsdowne ave.
last week, has not yet opened, but hopes
to unlock the doors by Oct. 14.
. "Tony" the faker, well known char-
acter in Mole st., is to be congratulated
on the birth of twins recently. As Tony
puts it: "My wife had a baby, but it
was two. We're going to call one of them
Margaret."

Trade Notes

Oct. 5. — September went out dig-
nified and calm. From reports, business
was on last year's level. Erratic, to be
sure, but nevertheless when the good
days help the small ones along, the total
records a good average. October, so far,
has shown similar symptoms, which goes
to show that the back yard flowers are
still being utilized. When funerals are
numerous, all hands are busy, but the
social flower demand gives all a vaca-
tion.

Rain has started the outdoor flowers to
go tobogganing in the matter of quality
and for that matter quantity also. The
Gladiolus is looking but a shadow of its
former self; Asters locally are best un-
mentioned and from out of town, the
weather has not permitted shipping. The
Carnations are benefiting by the cooler
weather and the Roses are also improv-
ing in color. The local 'Mums will soon
be a factor and a welcome one at that.
The first Chrysolora and Early Rose have
made their appearance and are of excep-
tionally fine quality. Zinnias are stand-
ing the weather fine and are still much
in demand. Marigolds and Dahlias are
also very popular.

Valley is rather scarce and the orchid
is true to its name, really rare; from re-
ports it will be in short supply for some
time to come. Bouvardia is now on the
regular bill of fare and of unsurpassed
quality.

Ferns are finding a ready sale, the
supply being hardly equal to the demand.
Palms and Rubbers also find buyers as
the stay at home period is at hand. Some-
thing green around the house is almost a
necessity.

Notes

At all greenhouse establishments,
all hands are busy getting tender stock
under cover and coupled with the daily
arrival of bulbs, there is no loafing on
the job. At the Wilson Crant Gehr es-
tablishment all hands were busy with a
fine lot of Cleveland Cherries on which
it was not safe to take chances with the
frost that is sure to follow this rain. Mr.
Wilson, who just recently returned from
a visit to his old home in Illinois, says,
among other things, that the prices re-
ceived for stock around Chicago, are bet-
ter than local and that our stock com-
pares very favorably with the best of
the Chicago market. He gives the con-
dition East as parallel with ours;
where some things are higher others are
again cheaper.

At the Fred Young range, all is in ship-
shape and stock is merely waiting to be
cut or bloom opens that it can be cut.
Some fine Cyclamen are shown here and
the Rose range looks very promising. A
bench of Spring planted Pilgrim looks
especially fine and has produced its sec-
ond crop to date. This bench is grafted
stock and directly next is a bench of
Pilgrim that is own root of two years'
growth that can't shape a stick to the
grafted stock in both size of bush and
number of flower shoots. Fred is a dis-
ciple of grafted stock and he says what
little own root stock he has, has all got
to go. Carnations are also fine here and
some three year old Laddie look as good
and prosperous as ever.

Clarke Bros, are cutting a very heavy
crop of Roses and the quality is tip-top.
Mrs. J. C. Ainsworth and Russell are
seen at their best here. Some very fine
Wards are also in cut.

Rahn & Herbert Co. are cutting some
of the finest Chrysolora and Early Rose
'Mums. Their Chrysolora 'Mums will cut
100 per cent to the plant, which is un-
usual in face of the many cinch bugs in
the vicinity. Their Earlies are especial-
ly large and fine. H. N.

— have you made preparation to fumigate a crop being
eat up with APHIS and found the tobacco would not
burn and continue to burn?

— that it will be weeks before you can secure another
kind with the probability that it may be no better than
the first?

Before you buy APHICIDE TOBACCO POWDER

you can try it out thoroughly. Glad to send you plenty
for fumigating 1500 to 6000 feet of greenhouse space for

nsects. It will not injure the most delicate foliage.

Excellent for either indoor or outdoor work. Packed in 5-, 50-, 100-lb. containers.

Ann Arbor, Mich.

The Michigan State Florists Society is
intending to hold its annual flower show
and meeting in this city Nov. 10 and 11.
It is to be sponsored by the Woman's
League of the University of Michigan,
an organization of the girl students of the
University which is endeavoring to raise
funds for the erection of a suitable build-
ing in which to house its various activi-
ties. A tea room and dancing privileges
will be an attractive side feature of the
exhibition. The Botanic Garden of the
University will make a display, of 'Mums
of exhibition types. Also it is expected
that a new 'Mum will be christened with
appropriate and imposing ceremonies.
Alexander Laurie of the Blu Maize Blos-
som Shop has been one of the most active
promoters of this show in an endeavor
to awaken the florists of the State to
the possibilities of the flower show idea.

Fort Wayne, Ind.

The first week of October has been
one of much activity for all in the trade.
There has been a brisk demand for all
stock, the supply of which is a little
below par.

Inside stock, especially the Roses, has
much improved. Mediums and shorts are
most in demand. Bittersweet is in great
demand; this is very useful, both for
basket work and many other decorations.

Funeral work has been brisk; many
weddings and social gatherings have also
helped. The weather has been unus-
ually warm.

News Notes

The Loos Grocery store opening
this week brought about considerable
trade for the florist. Large presenta-
tion baskets of Roses and Chrysanthe-
mums, and many other lovely pieces were
sent by many friends.

Ralph Tinkham of the House of Flow-
ers, reports an unusually busy week. One
item of particular interest was the Car-
ter-Bond wedding at the Trinity Episco-
pal Church. The church presented a
beautiful appearance. Palms, ferns and
Chrysanthemums were used along with
Asparagus and Smilax.

Wenninghoff Florist made up many
baskets for the new store opening and re-
ports business good. A. B,

St. Paul and Minneapolis

An exceptionally hot, dry Fall has been
experienced this season. Forest fires in
the northern part of the State were
dangerous until Oct. 6, when a 24 hour
rain was general over the State. This
has been followed by a lower tempera-
ture and frosts in some sections. Late
Gladioli, Dahlias and garden flowers have
been plentiful in the gardens ur> to now.
No frosts are reported in the vicinity of
the Twin Cities up to Oct. 8. Home

grown Roses, Carnations and California
hrysanthemums are plentiful now in the
markets.

The Minneapolis Florists Club met at
Rice Bros., Oct. 2, and nominated officers
for 1923. They are to be voted on at
the November meeting.

James Louden of Holm & Olson is to
talk before the Garden Flower Society,
Thursday afternoon, Oct. 12.

H. J. Puvogel of St. Paul, and Robt.
Stern of Minneapolis, are home after
several months spent in Germany and
other parts of Europe.

Several new flower shops have opened
or are about to open in Minneapolis.
Mrs. O. C. Swanson and Mrs. Corgill
have opened the Orchid Flower Shop at
11th and Nicolett sts. Mr. and Mrs.
Sutherland have opened a shori at Second
ave. and Ninth St. Peter Korres has
opened The Butterfly Flower Shop at
Eighth st.

O. J. Olson and C. F. Kimmley are at-
tending the F. T. D. meeting in Baltimore.

R. S. Mackintosh, secretary of the State
Horticultural Society, was run into by a
light delivery truck last week and was
injured quite severely.

The Flower Show Booster Banquet at
the Elks^ Club, Oct. 3, was a complete
success. Over 100 florists were present
and listened to good talks from Theo.
Wirth, Wm. Johns, P. A. Evans and
Joseph Chapman. Representatives of the
papers pledged their support to the show,
and Mr. Chapman pledged the Donaldson
Co.'s support and bought 1500 tickets for
the show. Manager Allen auctioned 15,-
000 tickets to those present. The plan
of selling tickets to all florists to resell
is to be used instead of a guarantee fund.
It is expected that 30,000 tickets will be
sold before Nov. 11, the opening date of
the show. Many fine exhibits have been
promised from outside the cities, and in-
dications are that this will be a big show.

GREENHOUSES

Those Houses are MAKING and SAVING Money for the Owners

A few years ago W. J. Evenden's Sons, of Williamsport, Pa.,
built their first King Greenhouse. This house proved from the
start it could produce more "firsts," at less cost per flower, than
any other makes of houses. Year after year, King Greenhouses
have been added to their range, until now they have five 28 ft. x
250 ft. houses and a large propagating house.

Today these houses not only make money by producing high-
grade roses, carnations, 'mums and potted plants, for which the
Evenden's are famed, but they save money because of economical
upkeep and operation.

Let us tell you about a King Greenhouse suitable for your
requirements.

When you think of good greenhouses, think of "KING"

Trade Notes

Wholesale prices remain steady,
in spite of the large quantity of blooms
available from outdoors, consequent on
the continuation of Summer weather. In
fact Bryan Hammond, of the B. Ham-
mond Co.. states that business is picking
up finely. C. E. Benson, Kirkland, and

A. B. Mathiesen, Wilson ave., have com-
menced cutting Carnations in quantity.
These are being handled by the local
wholesale house. Quite a heavy supply
of Roses is arriving, including Red Co-
lumbia. Although the latter is only semi-
double on opening up. it is in favor in
the bud stage on account of its satisfac-
tory stems. Sweet Peas are about over,
Asters and Zinnias are still plentiful.
Gladioli are nearly over and the rain of
the last day or two will about finish them
up.

Garvin Penegor has joined the staff of

B. Hammond & Co.

McCoys, 2d ave., is remodeling its
store and: putting in a new icebox. Jeau
Lambley states that business was rush-
ing on Saturday last, and is looking up
generally. The firm is receiving fine Red
Columbia Roses from Beall's Green-
houses, Vashon Island.

The Orpheum Floral Co. is making a
display of Dahlias, grown by Hugh Dut-
ton, a local enthusiast. Among the
blooms specially noticeable was Hugh
Button, a magnificent dark crimson Cac-
tus of great substance aud fine stems, a
perfect cut flower. Winona, his latest
novelty, another Cactus of deep flesh
pink tipped with white, is also excellent
for cut blooms. Adelaide and Cream
King are good, both being of a soft
creamy yellow shade, very effective un-
der artificial light. Good whites are
Mrs. Estes. Nevada and Helen Dem-
baugh. the latter slightly tinged with
pink.

Charlie Cole, lately in the 3d ave.
store of Rosaia Bros., is now managing
the Orpheum Floral.

Hollywood Gardens is another firm,
which is strongly featuring Dahlias ; it
is certainly receiving some grand blooms.
The Woodlawn Flower Shop has some
fine specimen pot grown Ficus included
in its store floral arrangement this week.
Fred Gust is on a business trip to
Yakima this week.

Gus Petersen arranged a novel table
decoration last week at a dinner given
for some Holland visitors. He used two
windmills constructed of small yellow
'Mums, around which miniature gar-
dens were constructed.

Rosaia Bros, are cutting heavily of
Cattleyas. also fine quality Gardenias at
their Thomas Greenhouses.

P. F. Rosaia says business is good,
with a fine stock of blooms to meet all
demands. The 'Mums, both Pompon and
Singles, as well as the Zinnias are im-
mense.

J. R. Franklin, lately with the Butte
Floral Co.. Butte, Mont., has joined Ro-
saia Bros.' staff.

Among the Local Growers 3

The Seattle Floral Co., Geo. Antheme.
proprietor, has a large stock of ferns.
Asparagus Spreugeri and Selaginellas.
available for his many friends. George
also has a good line of pot plants. The
only thing that peeves him is the men-
tion of Chrysanthemums. Being unable
to get all the stock he required locally,

he placed an order with a firm in Illinois
for 1200 plants in 2y2iu. pots. They
duly arrived per American Railway Ex-
press, in four large boxes. The value was
$33 ; the express charges were $55.39,
or a total of $88.39, before the _ plants
were in the benches. George claims he
could have packed the whole order in one
of the cases sent. Now he has received
a bill for 40c. balance due on the trans-
action. Do you wonder he is peeved?

At the West Queen Anne Hill Florists,
Lambert Petersen, proprietor, everything
is in apple pie order and stock is looking
good. I found Lambert busy installing
his new oil burning apparatus and tank.
He is an enthusiast on the possibilities
of oil fuel.

Fred Bell, proprietor of Bell's Green-
houses, Wilson ave., met with a serious
accident on Saturday night last, when
he was mixed up in an automobile wreck.
His injuries necessitated his removal to
the hospital.

C. E. Benson, Kirkland grower, has
completed a new 100ft.x35ft. steel con-
struction house, and has planted same to
Carnations.

Tom Wylie is constructing a rockery
and sunken garden to accommodate his
collection of rock and Alpine plants.

Ed Randall, of Randall's Seeds, Rose
specialist, is visiting various growing
centers in France and Belgium. He re-
ports a shortage in Rosa canina stocks.

A. G. Seamans, Tacoma, wholesale
■grower and florist, was a visitor on Mon-
day. He reports conditions in Tacoma
on the up grade.

Paul Rhodius, of the Sedro-Wooley
greenhouses has been in our city for past
week purchasing supplies and making the
acquaintance of members of the trade.

The opening of the duck shooting sea-
son found several florists participating.
H. A. Crouch and Gene Sandahl report
bag limits.

J. W. Adams, of the Richmond Nur-
sery, and party leave on Thursday for
the' vicinity of the Olympics for a week's
deer hunting.

The Amateur's Due

I was glad to see Woolgatherer's
remarks on friend Henry W. Krucke-
berg's article concerning amateurs in the
Western Florist-Nurseryman and Seeds-
man. I would go Woolgatherer one fur-
ther, and would not be far wrong in my
guess if I said that 99 per cent of the
amateurs who indulge their hobby by
importing novelties from abroad were so
situated as to be able to take better care
of them than any commercial grower,
both as regards available finances and
brains. Anyone acquainted with horticul-
ture knows what the amateur element
has done for it. Look up the history of
many of our so-called florist's flowers of
today and see to whom we are indebted
for their improvement. Furthermore,
for whom do professional growers in all
branches of horticulture produce their
stock? Where is their market? Is it
not for and with that great public who
for various reasons cannot grow their
own? Then why pan the amateur, when
he or she help's to provides our bread
and butter?

I have been in many amateur estab-
lishments— and many so-called commer-
cial ones, too — both in Europe and this
country during the past 30 years, and
while in the former, cleanliness and tidi-
ness were invariably present, the same
cannot be said of conditions prevailing
in the latter group.

I fancy that H. W. K. will find the
amateur horticulturist a pretty good
friend if he cultivates his acquaintance.
Geo. Cooper.

the firm controls one of the largest nur-
sery areas in England. Mass production
is the motto, and its cultures are so
great that while the Roses, etc., are
largely sold at retail, the firm relies a
good deal on the wholesale business to
help out. Several good Roses have been
raised on the nurseries. In the way of
nursery stock, perennials, Bees, Ltd., do
not talk in dozens, nor in seedlings. The
amateur can buy a dozen varieties of
Delphiniums or Pyrethrums named, while
the trade can be supplied by the thousand.
This remarkable concern has been de-
veloped from nothing in about 20 years.
It is essentially progressive and aggres-
sive; it runs a retail florist's store, and
early became associated with the F. T. D.
As an advertiser, Bees, Ltd., is apt to go
the pace; mere columns do not count,
whole pages in the garden and lay press
are quite in order. But it is in the way
of its literature that this firm probably
makes most friends. A series of catalogs
is issued, but the main factor is the maga-
zine-catalog, named The Busy Bee, pub-
lished quarterly. Before us are the July
and the October issues of The Busy Bee,
and truly they are unique, and serve to
show what a wonderful amount of busi-
ness must come to this firm. The small
gardener is the chief patron; no order is
too small in seeds or plants. We may
mention, too, that Bees, Ltd., are frequent
exhibitors at shows.

The catalogs referred to are veritable
magazines, which, while not made up with
ultra costly paper, are so superbly illus-
trated with photogravures and color that
one has to admire the genius who con-
ceived the possibility of crowding so much
in 38 pages, Uin.x8y2in. The July issue
is devoted to bulbs, but while primarily
a catalog, it is the amateurs' first aid.
Here we have a page devoted to ques-
tions and answers; then follow eight pages
of cultural notes on all kinds of bulbs; a
page for the children, and one for the
housewife, and then as glorious a show
of bulb pictures as the heart could de-
sire, with data and price attached to each
subject. Some of the color work is not
good, but it is telling. Garden sundries,
even a special tool for setting saws, and
lots of subjects for the housewife, are
also listed and illustrated in the same
high class way.

The October issue is largely devoted to
Roses and hardy plants. The same riot
of pictures and color; pages of cultural
notes with useful illustrations; pictures
of hardy borders and plants; fruit pic-
tures and what not. The color here is
very good, most of the pictures being from
direct color photographs. The firms own
Rose Independence Day, which won the
gold medal of the N. R. S. in 1919, is well
shown. This novelty is from Mme. E.
Herriott X Souv. Gustave Prat.

In addition to The Busy Bee, the firm
issues a regular line of catalogs which,
while not so classily gotten up, feature a
multitude of good illustrations, some in
color. The Spring seed catalog is wonder-
fully complete.

Modern Catalogs

Every once in awhile a catalog of un-
usual character comes along, and on this
occasion we must lift our hat to Bees,
Ltd., Liverpool, England. This firm is
fairly well known, for prior to Qu. 37 it
did a considerable export trade of Roses
and hardy plants. Bees, Ltd., is a some-
what remarkable concern. It was, we be-
lieve, first organized as a seed house,
penny or 2c. packets being a specialty, by
a retired cotton manufacturer. Being an
enthusiastic gardener, he rapidly extended
into hardy plants, and before the war had
one or two collectors scouring China for
new species. The beautiful Bulleyana
and many other species of Primulas were
introduced by Bees, Ltd., and also some
exquisite hybrids. Roses and nursery
stock also became a feature, and now

The Sale of Poisons in England

The sale of poisons for horticultural
and farm purposes has, for some years,
been restricted in Great Britain to deal-
ers specially licensed. It would appear
that the medical profession is making an-
other bid to restrict the sale of such pois-
ons to chemists and druggists. It is de-
clared that many accidental or suicidal
deaths have been brought about through
poisons such aff are used by farmers and
horticulturists. It is even proposed that
the users of such poisons as sheep dip
and lead arsenate, must obtain a license
permitting them to use these poisons.

As might be expected, the seed deal-
ers who handle the various garden reme-
dies, view this new move on the part oi
chemists with no great favor. Poisons oi
various kinds are essential to horticul
ture, and if the suggested act were passed
it would not only mean a loss to the seec
dealers in actual business, but also prob
ably result in a failing demand for fruil
trees and other garden subjects. One maj
safely assume the small user of spraj
fluids would have as much chance of get
ting a license as the small grower hen
has of getting a permit to import neu
plants. Scientific people are apt to fol
low each other in matters of this kinc
and it is quite within bounds of possi
bility that an effort may, sooner or later
be made to take the sale of horticultura
poisons out of the hands of seed dealers
The world contains a few people whosi
mission in life is to interfere with th<
personal liberties of others. Watch out

About Some Of The Starch
That's In Our Number Two House

It's the starch in your collar that makes it
stand up. Sometimes it wilts, not because
the collar is wrong, but because the starch
hasn't enough backbone.

Houses go down for the same reason.
Let's look at the start of the starch, or the
frame work that's in our No. 1 house,
made for widths from 4 1 feet up.

Just look at it as a whole. Notice its four
horizontal and three upright members.
^Consider the strength such a framing
means. Consider its strength and then
look at its lightness. When you get those
two combined, you have the very top
notch of construction perfected.

Starting at the top, the angle eave plate
is steel, and always galvanized. The roof
bar clasps are galvanized cast iron, securely
held in place by two screw bolts. Two
bolts, mind you. Not one. They are
our improved non-clogging design. The
U-shaped drip gutter is steel, galvanized,
and is equipped at intervals with ample
sized drain pipes. The sash sill is an
angle of steel. The foundation cupping sill
is cast iron. Not wood, mind you. Cast
iron.

Notice the length and strength of those
double gusset plates, on either side of post
and rafter. Notice the number of bolts.

The sash sill bolts to the wrought iron
posts by steel angle knees, and the founda-
tion sill by cast iron fittings. Let us em-
phasize that both the sill and fittings are
cast iron, because here is where the mois-
ture lodges and is most destructive.

The tie rod running from each side of
the right hand post to the base of the
next posts on either side; likewise the tie
rods from post to the first purlin are used
at certain intervals, depending on the
length and width of the house. They tie
the frame rigidly, preventing end sway,
which as you know plays such merry hob
in loosening the glazing.

Now with this much of the frame up, next
follow the rafters extending from the sill
to the column and from column to ridge.
After which follow the gables. That then
will be our next talk.

This No. I construction differs from our
No. 2 only in its minor details. The One
is for houses 4 1 feet and wider. The Two
is for 40 feet and under. Both contain
the same high grade materials and work-
manship.

Don't mistake us, not that he is a hard man to do
business with. Far from it. But he does know
exactly what he wants and exactly why he wants
it, and is very exacting in getting exactly what" he
wants.

There's a big difference between that and the man
who pig-headedly determines to have certain things,
certain ways, and "nothing or nobody" can budge
him. There is a lot of satisfaction in doing business
with a man like Mr. Richter who comes to his con-
clusions, slowly and carefully and then "sticks to
them despite election or high water," as the old
saying goes.

Hitckingfs °?5 Company

Home Offices and Factory: ELIZABETH, N. J.

Mr. Richter has a lot of original ways of doing busi-
ness, one of which is making a one-price arrangement
with his customers, that holds good right through a
season, regardless of the market price.

Sometimes the customer pays more, sometimes less,
but year in and year out both the customer and Mr.
Richter gain by it. Mr. Richter has a big Hitchings
house having double tied iron frame and glazed
with 20-inch glass. If you are kind of exacting in
your ideas of how a house should be built, let's get
together and have a talk. Something tells us, we

By "double tied frame" we mean that the rafter cross tie is a double steel angle. That the rafter

truss extending from the top of the column to the post, is a double iron. The purlin leg of the

angle knee that fastens the purlins to the rafter, is double the usual length.

A Significant Communication About Qu. 37

California Nurserymen's Recommendations Urge Same Modifications Already
Asked For— Letter of May, 1921, Just Brought to Light, Provides Foundation

for Discussion on October 30

THROUGH the courtesy of J. C. Vaughan we
are enabled to publish the following letter sent
by Uie California Association of Nurserymen to
the Secretary of Agriculture early in May 1922. In
view of the bulb conference scheduled for Oct. 30,
recommendation six, below, is exceedingly interest-
ing since it is the expression of a group of trade in-
terests in a section which, the country has repeatedly

! been assured, is "unreservedly and irrevocably" iu
favor of Qu. 37 with no changes or modifications. In
fact, the whole letter is significant in that it voices
almost exactly the same opinions and constructive

I criticisms that were expressed in the statements pre-
sented at the May 15 conference by the Committee on

j Horticultural Quarantine and by Jas. McHutchison
for the S. A. F. and O. H. Tariff and Legislation Com-
mittee.

In addition to providing strong support for the
dnsitiou of those who believe in sane and moderate
modification of existing regulations it represents one
example of the large volumes of opinion and testi-
mony received by the Department of Agriculture, but
never thereafter referred to.

Hon. Henry Wallace,
Secretary of Agriculture,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Secretary:

We beg to acknowledge your invitation to attend the
coming conference of the Federal Horticultural Board
to be held at Washington on May 15, 1922. We regret
that owing to the fact that this is our planting season,
we will be unable to have a representative present
at this conference. However, we would respectfullv
submit the following for your consideration and also
of the Federal Horticultural Board:

1. The California Association of Nurserymen desire
to go on record as endorsing the Plant Quarantine Act,
but believe that there should be some practical modi-
fications made at this time. We are of the opinion that
many of the past regulations and decisions of the Fed-
eral Horticultural Board have been inimical to the
best interests of horticulture in this country. There
has been considerable difference of opinion between the
nurserymen and the Federal Horticultural Board as
to the various plants and numbers that should be ad-
mitted or upon which an exclusive quarantine should
be placed. We believe that a more satisfactory under-
standing could be arrived at if a committee of five
representative practical horticulturists should be ap-
pointed by you to confer and advise with the Federal
Horticultural Board from time to time, upon the vari-
ous matters which might arise regarding the question-
of importation or restriction of horticultural products
from foreign countries, and further that these men be
selected to represent the various branches of horticul-
ture from the different sections of the United States
and that they be given some official standing so that
their expenses could be met by the Department of
Agriculture when called to Washington or elsewhere
for such conferences.

2. We would strongly recommend that amateurs in-
terested in bringing in new plants into the United States
be granted permits under the same conditions and
under the same safeguards as are at present accorded
to commercial growers

The addition or importation of exotic plants, eco-
nomic or ornamental, under the proper restrictions of
quarantine adds to the material wealth of the country
and fosters a greater interest in horticulture.

3. We would recommend that the Department of
Agriculture publish annually a circular or bulletin giv-
ing the names of growers of various lines of nurserv
stock. the numbers of such stock available, which for-
merly was imported and that is now under quarantine.

Because of the lack of this information, considerable
dissatisfaction has arisen among importers who, not
Knowing of sources of supply in America or where such
stock is grown, or has been grown here in quantity
have felt grieved or injured when requests for permits
have been refused by the Federal Horticultural Board.
This information no doubt can be obtained from the
flies of the F. H. B. or by the extension of the service
of the Marketing Bureau of the Department of Agri-
culture.

4. It also occurs to this association that the inspec-
tion of plants at the port of arrival or destination is
impractical, and we would strongly urge that you take
under consideration the advisability of having the in-
spection of such plants made by United States inspec-
tors at the nurseries in foreign countries before the
plants are packed, and if this is found practical that
the authorized inspector's certificate carry the plants
to the point of destination or to the ultimate con-
signee without further inspection or delay.

5. We would further advise that there are certain
classes of plants that it is impractical to import with-
out soil attached to the roots and we would recommend
thfl y°u taKe under consideration the advisability of
establishing one or more quarantine stations where
such plants could be received and held in quarantine
for a sufficient time to make it safe for them to be
shipped to their ultimate destination. We understand
that this is now being done with animals imported from
foreign countries.

6. We earnestly. recommend that the plants named
m the attached list be admitted. These cannot be
pppagated at present in sufficient quantities to meet
the requirements of the California growers.

ing, etc.

N. B. — The above are a few of the various plants,

including species and the varieties derived therefrom

in the way of hybrids, etc.. which would be of use

for propagating purposes in this particular section

of the country. We believe that the admission ot

these plants would prove of value to the horticulturist

in the United States, and we again ask that you givo

these matters your careful and earnest consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
Executive Committee of the California Associa-
tion of Nurserymen.

Issued by Office of The Secretary,

U. S. Dept, of Agriculture

UNDER authority conferred by the plant quaran-
tine act of Aug. 20, 1912 (37 Stat., 315), it is
ordered that Reg. 7 of the rules and regulations
supplemental to Notice of Quarantine No. 37, govern-
ing the importation of nursery stock and other plants
and seeds into the United States, effective Aug. 1,
1921, be. and the same is hereby, amended to read
as follows :

Regulation 7/ Conditions of entry: Inspection, cer-
tification, and marking; freedom from sand, soil, or
earth, and approval of packing material.

(1) The importation of nursery stock and other
plants and seeds from countries which maintain in-
spection will not be allowed unless the invoice is ac-
companied by an original certificate, and unless each
container bears a copy certificate, issued by a duly

authorized official of the country from which it is
exported, stating that the nursery stock and other
plants and seeds covered by the certificate have'
been thoroughly inspected by him or under his direc-
tion at the time of packing, and found, or believed
in be. free from injurious plant diseases and insect
pests.

(2) All nursery stock and other plants and seeds
offered for import must be free from sand, soil, or
earth, and all plant roots, rhizomes, tubers, etc., must
be freed by washing or other means from such sand,
soil, or earth, and must be so certified by the duly
authorized inspector of the country of origin : Pro-
vided, That sand, soil, or earth may be employed for
the packing of bulbs and corms when such sand, soil
or earth has been sterilized or otherwise safeguarded
in accordance with the methods prescribed by the
Federal Horticultural Board and is so certified by the
duly authorized inspector of the country of origin.
The use of such sand, soil, or earth as packing for
plants other than bulbs and corms is not authorized.

(3) All packing materials employed in connection
with importations of nursery stock and other plants
and seeds are subject to approval as to such use by
the Federal Horticultural Board. Such packing ma-
terial must not previously have been used as packing
or otherwise in connection with living plants and
except as provided in the preceding paragraph for
bulbs and corms must be free from sand, soil, or
earth, and must be certified as meeting these condi-
tions by the duly authorized inspector of the country
of origin.

(4' Nursery stock and other plants and seeds from
countries which do not maintain inspection shall not
be delivered to the importer or consignee until they
have been examined by an inspector of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture and found to be free from plant
diseases and insect pests, or, if infested, capable in
the judgment of the inspector of being adequately
safeguarded by disinfection. All importations under
this paragraph must also comply with the disinfection
requirement of Regulation 9. Nursery stock and
other plants and seeds inspected as provided herein
which are found to be carrying any plant disease or
insect pest, and which in the judgment of the inspec-
tor cannot be cleaned by disinfection or treatment,
shall be refused entry. All charges incident to inspec-
tion and disinfection, other than the services of the
inspector, shall be paid by the importer.

(5) If a package of nursery stock and other plants
and seeds offered for entry includes any prohibited
article, or if any of the plants have not been freed
from earth, the entire package may be refused entry.

(6) Each case, box, or other container or covering
of nursery stock and other plants and seeds offered
for entry shall be plainly and correctly marked to
show the number of the permit, the general nature
and quantity of the contents, the district or locality
and country where grown, the name and address of
the exporter, and the name and address of the con-
signee.

Done at Washington this 13th day of Oct. 1922.
Witness my hand and the seal of the United States
Department of Agriculture.

Henry C. Wallace,
Secretary of Agriculture.

Iu the foregoing amended regulation the para-
graphs which we have numbered 4, 5 and 6 stand
without change from the original text. Paragraph 1
lias had struck from it a statement specifying just
when material for import shall be inspected. Para-
graphs 2 and 3 are new, and it is iu the former, by
the use of the phrase "must be freed by washing or
other means from such sand," etc., that the F. H. B.
has modified its requirements by no longer insisting
upon the injurious and indefensible precaution of
root washing. The necessity of freeing the roots from
soil by all moderate and practical means of course
remains.

Nurserymen and florists in the Eastern States have
probably received various inquiries this past Sum-
mer about the early and excessive yellowing and
falling of the leaves of the Horse Chestnut. This
tendency is a characteristic of this tree, but for the
last year or two has been intensified by a leaf blight
about which there is still much to learn. It seems,
however, that treatment with Bordeaux mixture
early each season will help to keep the leaves green
and "on the job." Often a somewhat early defolia-
tion does no harm, but sometimes, especially if fol-
lowed by warm, moist weather, it stimulates late
season growth that is especially liable to Winter
killing. An extreme and remarkable example of this
is reported by the F. A. Bartlett Tree Expert Co. of
Stamford, Conn., which recently came upon a Horse
Chestnut tree near Larchmont, N. Y., which having
lost its 1922 crop of leaves in Midsummer is now, on
Oct. 17, clothed in new foliage and in full bloom.
Of course this is its 1923 crop of flowers, so the
owner cannot hope for more blossoms next Spring —
even though the tree survives the Winter.

FLORISTS TELEGRAPH DELIVERY ASSOCIATION

ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING

Hotel Emerson, Baltimore, Oct. 10-12, 1922

Concluding Report of Wednesday Afternoon
and Evening Session — Octber 11

|<rr^0 a certain extent there is an effect of anti-
I climax in this concluding report. So much of.

' A the important business of the meeting had been

. completed up to Wednesday noon, and such admir-
able oratory had been delivered in connection there-

1 with, that it seems hopeless to attempt to give any
idea of any greater enthusiasm or increased signifi-
cance. Nevertheless, the two final sessions of the
meeting which lasted, with an interruption of only
about an hour, from two o'clock in the afternoon
until nearly midnight, were crammed full of valuable
and thoroughly interesting discussion and procedure.

The first address on Wednesday afternoon was de-
livered by J. C. Hale, representative of the Western
Union Telegraph Co. With remarkable control of
language, and an imposing array of figures based on
an analysis of business efficiency methods, Mr. Hale
pointed out the many ways in which the telegraph
is essential to modern commercial life. He also
brought out to the apparent satisfaction of his hear-
ers, the fact that florists are simply partners in the
telegraph business to the extent that its welfare is
dependent upon the success with which it serves them,
just as their most effective service to the public is
dependent largely upon their intelligent use of the
wires. Undoubtedly it was news to many of those
present that according to careful and far-reaching
investigations, the average business letter represents
a fixed overhead charge of anywhere from 23c. to
40c. or more. This estimate is based on the following
data :

Office boy's service, .01

Stenographer, .07

Stationery, .01

Postage, .02

Total .11
To this he added the value of the time of the dic-
tator which, for the sake of argument, he placed at
12c. on the assumption that a $3000 a year executive
would dictate approximately ten letters an hour, in
contrast he gave the average cost of thousands of
telegrams as ouly 60 cents apiece.

The next feature was an address by Herman P.
Knoble, on "How to Make a Dollar in the Flower
Business." Although many of Mr. Knoble's ideas and
practical applications of business efficiency to the
flower industry were already familiar to his hearers,
bis direct observations and keen-edged suggestions —
all of them based upon personal experience — were
thoroughly appreciated. He brought out the fact than
the two factors upon which the value of a location is
determined are, first, rent; second, advertising possi-
bilities. One of his significant epigrams was: "Well
bought is half sold ; and well displayed makes up the
other half of a good sale." He urged greater atten-
tion to the matter of cleaning up each morning the
holdover from the previous day's stocks; also care-
ful analysis of new receipts, and their equally care-
ful pricing before any sales are made. Finally, he
urged the keeping1 of a full record of sales and flower
purchases made daily which, he estimates, for suc-
cessful business results should stand in the propor-
timi of three to one.

Shortly before the close of Mr. Knoble's talk, there
wa> a bustle outside the convention hall, and there
were brought in for general distribution copies of the
special 8-page issue of the F. T. D. News newspaper.
hoi off the presses. The energy and enterprise of the
News force in getting out this complete and well
appearing report of the first day's proceedings was
appreciated and highly complimented.

At this point President Breitmeyer called to the
platform the ever popular "Dad" Graham. While he
stood there, all the ladies in the audience rose, and
one of them, in a few well chosen words, thanked
Mm for his courtesy and gallantry in having the
evening before, sent to each of them a box of flowers
and a box of candy. Although surprised by the trib-
ute. Mr. Graham was far from nonplussed, and re-
marked that he had only one cause for regret, viz.;
™*t J?e had not delivered the little gifts in person.
"For," said he, "a lady came up to me this morning
and said had I done so she would certainly have
kissed me!"

The next speaker was Irwin Bertermann who dis-
cussed the future F. T. D. temple (see bis paper in
last week's issue). Before beginning his formal ad-
dress, he "referred to the prophecy dealing with the
F. T. D. in 1930 which has at various times been
published in The Exchaxoe. He said." however, that
whereas the author of that fantasy looked for the
temple in 1930, he personally was satisfied that it
would be a reality not later than 1925. He set the
necessary fund for its institution at $250,000 which,
in his opinion, it would be far from difficult to secure
at almost any time..

After Charles Grakelow had invited all members
who could possibly get there to Philadelphia for Fri-
day after the close of the meeting. Z. D. Blackistone
held the attention and won the loud applause of the
audience by demonstrating, iu just eleven minutes,
the making of the "Blackistone Blanket Spray." The
description of this effective funeral piece was printed
in last week's issue of The Exchaxge. together with
an estimate showing how at a total expense of ap-
proximately $12 there could be turned out a flower
arrangement for which anywhere from $30 to $75
could tie secured. The success of this demonstration
and the approval with which it was received led
President Breitmeyer to arrange that features of this
sort be made a more important factor in future
F. T. D. meetings. He then took pleasure in display-
ing to the association a wreath just received from
Wm. L. Rock, of Kansas City, iu which red Celosia
was the principal material. A dark blue ribbon and
a spray of gilded grain heads provided striking con
trast. Commenting on the often unappreciated value
of the common hardy flowers for the making of floral
arrangements. Mr. Breitmeyer stated that his nur-
sery had supplied during the past Summer $125
worth of the common Lace Flower or wild Carrot
blossom.

Charles Henry Fox of Philadelphia demonstrated
several of his novelties as described in The Florists
Exchange of July 1 (page III) and Sept. 2 (page
(ill). He then told in a most interesting way of the
work of the Philadelphia florists in connection with
Mother's Day in 1922 when they presented hundreds
of gold flower baskets to the Gold Star mothers of
the city. One thing leading to another, he then took
up the question of Miss Anna Jarvis's activities in
behalf of Mother's Day, speaking in highest terms of
her original inspiration and enthusiasm for the move-
ment. Some little discussion ensued in which both
sides of the somewhat regrettable controversy were
touched upon. George Asmus seemed to round up the
subject, when he expressed the belief that there had
been practically an even break. He felt that in some
respects Miss Jarvis had not been treated fairly, but
he acknowledged that, on the other hand, she had not
always cooperated with the florists. He further
called attention to her unquestioned power through
her association with the original movement and her
ability to affect the florists' business by working on
public opinion.

Other discussions on salesmanship, store displays,
the faking and filling of orders, and other subjects
listed on the formal program were then taken up.
and the two cups won by Robert L. Graham and
Samuel Feasl & Sons respectively for their window
displays were presented to the representatives of
those firms. As a result of the interesting discussions
accompanying the various talks, this session was not
brought to a close until nearly six o'clock.

Shortly after several of the directors attended a
little dinner given to Max Schling by those students
on his 1921 and 1922 Schools of Floidstry present at
the meeting.

Wednesday Evening —The Closing Session

This session was purely informal, as the pre-
arranged program had been practically completed
before the previous adjournment. It was opened by
Charles F. Feast as chairman,- but Mr. Breitmeyer
arrived and took charge shortly after nine o'clock.
A rising vote of thanks was first given the F. T. D.
News for its splendid work and indefatigable efforts.
The president then brought up the matter of the ad
visability of changing the date of the meeting to
September. After some discussion, in which advan-
tages as well as disadvantages of such a change were
brought forward, it was decided to leave matters as
they stand at present.

Mr. .Johnston, representing Mary Paterson John-
ston, was then presented with the third prize cap-
tured iu the window display competition and was
publicly thanked for the generosity of the firm in dis-
tributing handsome leather billfolds to all members
and guests and dainty vanity cases to the ladies.

A desultory discussion on one subject and another,
including the value of the "Plan to Plant Another
Tree" campaign followed for a few moments, only
to be interrupted by Charles Grakelow, who walked
up and to Mr. Breitmeyer's surprise took possession
of the platform. This surprise visibly increased as
Mr. Grakelow, making use of one of his inimitable
darky stories, pointed out the value of finding out
just where a person stands. He then said that he
intended to show President Breitmeyer just where
he stood in the estimation of the F. T. D. Association.
Next, drawing upon his wealth of oratorical powers,
and putting into words the thoughts of every person
present, he presented Mr. Breitmeyer, and through
him Mrs. Breitmeyer, with a sterling silver tea set
which, at this psychological moment, was Drought in
and placed in front of the platform. He suggested
that it might be a slight recompense to Mrs. Breit-
meyer for the many hours that she had been without
her husband's company while he was serving his
fellow florists. Mr. Grakelow announced that imme-
diately after the close of the meeting the gift would
be packed and shipped to Detroit ; and then he gave
the address a characteristically quaint turn, by warn-
ing Mr. Breitmeyer that just as soon as possible
every member was going to follow it out in the hopes
of being asked to take tea with the president and
his good lady.

By this time it was obvious that Mr. Breitmeyer
was as deeply touched by the tribute as he had been
surprised. His words of thanks, though few and
simple in the extreme, were such as to leave no ques-
tion in the minds of his hearers of the thorough ap-
preciation he felt for the gift and the spirit that
prompted it. In thanking the association, he cor-
dially invited each and every member to visit his
home w-henever and as often as might be possible.

Secretary Pochelon next brought up the move-
ment being fostered by some of the garden clubs to
protect native flowers and vegetation, and asked the
opinion of the meeting in this connection. Various
members spoke on the subject, and President Breit-
meyer referred to the action of the S. A. F. at Kansas
City, suggesting that a resolution of similar tenor be
adopted, through which' the' association would offer
to cooperate so far as it legitimately could. This idea
was unanimously approved.

The secretary also brought up the suggestion made
by Henry Siebrecht of California with regard to
birthday flowers ; but it was the chairman's view that
this matter should be passed over without action,
just as it has been left to the jurisdiction of each
individual florist in the past.

The reading of the list of charter F. T. D. members
by the secretary led to a discussion opened by Ira
C. Harper and participated in by several other mem-
bers, as to the desirability of incorporating display
advertisements in the list of members as printed in
the F. T. D. News. Two distinct opinions on this
subject were expressed, but after considerable dis-
cussion, that at times became almost acrimonious,
Mr. Breitmeyer smoothed out the difficulties by sug-
gesting that matters remain as they are, and that
responsibility for handling matters in the most ef-
fective and satisfactory manner be left in the hands
of the board of directors. In view of the diplomatic
and gracious way in which this was done, the action
of the president carried with it the unanimous sup-
port of the body.

Considerable applause was forthcoming when Mr.
Asmus was called to the platform and presented with
a cheque for $2500, representing the F. T. D. contri-
bution to the National Publicity Campaign. This
cheque had been wired for on Monday, and" had but
just been received from Treasurer Rock.

President Breitmeyer next brought up the question
of changes in the by-laws, made necessary by the
adoption of the clearing house and district repre-
sentation schemes and, upon motion of Mr. Seul-
berger, it was voted to adopt these as already printed
and submitted to the members.

What Is Selling Now?

Dutch and French Bulbs of all kinds
are meeting with an active demand from
tiorists who force them for blooms for
the wholesale cut rlower market; also
from gardeners on private estates, lhe
demand for these bulbs over the counter-
lias begun, but has not as yet reached
any considerable proportions. Lilium
giganteum bulbs from Japan have arrived
and are being distributed both from hew
York and Chicago. Later arrivals of
Lilium candidum from France are meet-
ing with a fair demand, and cold storage
Lilv of the Valley pips are moving fairly
well. The demand for grass seed for
golf courses, lawns and farm lands has
passed its height, but is still a factor m
sales. An unusually heavy demand for
Rye for the Fall seeding of farm lands
is' reported. There are still small sales
of Strawberry plants, Peony roots, Grape
vines and berry bushes. Window and
storeroom displays of Dahlia blooms have
been discontinued for the season since
the frost of Saturday morning, Oct. 14,
but seed stores which have made continu-
ous displays of Dahlia blooms during the
last of September and the first half of
October, report that these displays have
resulted in the booking of an unusually
large number of orders for tubers to be
delivered next Spring.

F. Rynveld & Sons, 61 A esey St., say:
"The shortage of many varieties of Dutch
bulbs that was evident in Holland during
the packing season is now being felt in
this country, and while we anticipated
and provided for a large late demand,
we already find ourselves daily unable
to till orders for many of the more fancy
kinds of Tulips and Daffodils, of which
it would seem that there is a pronounced
scarcity. We find a good demand all
through the Dutch list and when cooler
weather stimulates a greater counter
buying for seedsmen, we feet that all
kinds will clean up. We are distributing
Lilium giganteum from both Chicago ana
New York, and have just received a late
lot of Lilium candidum which is going
well.'

George A. Burnett Returns from
Abroad

Ceorge A. Burnett of Burnett Bros.,
92 Chambers st., Mrs. Burnett and their
son Samuel, returned on the S. S. Adri-
atic, on Oct. 8, sailing from Liverpool on
Sept. 30. Mr. Burnett reports a pleasant
voyage, with the exception of one or two
days when the ship ran into a heavy gale.
All of the family returned in good health,
and Mr. Burnett appears to be much bene-
fited by his trip abroad. Most of their
time was spent in the north of Ireland,
especially in Omagh, County of Tyrone,
where Mr. Burnet was born and spent
his boyhood days, and where his old home
is still kept up. In spite of the trouble-
some times now prevailing in Ireland,
the Burnett family was able to take many
pleasant trips, which- did not, however,
extend into Southern Ireland. In Ire-
land Mr. Burnett visited Alex. Dickson
of Dickson & Sons, Newtownards, County
Down. "When we left the country, Mr.
Burnett says, "we were under the inr-
pression that Ireland, as a whole, though
slowly and gradually, was, nevertheless,
coming into a more settled political con-
dition." During his trip Mr. Burnett
visited England also. In the store at 92
Chambers st. bulbs are reported to be
moving well, especially in response to
large orders from private estates. There
is an active demand, too, for Rye.

Chas. Schwake & Co., Inc., 149 Church
st., have just received a shipment from
Japan of Lilium giganteum bulbs, which
they are immediately shipping out in fill-
ing orders. As usual, they are also ex-
periencing the steady all year around de-
mand for cold storage Lily of the Valley
pips, in which this firm for many years
has been well known specialists.

Vaughan's Seed Store at 43 Barclay

st. reports that the demand for Dutch
I in 1 1 is continues to be extremely brisk,
and that the worry now is not to find
buyers, but to find stock to fill orders
completely. Not a few varieties seem to
be in short supply among all importers.
Their travelers are sending in large or-
ders and every employee is on the jump
keeping up with the filling of these and
the maiL orders which are steadily com-
ing in. A display of bulbs, arranged in
pebbles in fancy bowls of several kinds,
in the store windows, is attracting de-
served attention and suggesting to the
amateur the growing of bulbs in pebbles
and water. There is also an artistically
arranged display of bulbs in the sales-
room. We cannot help but note how con-
sistently the window display and store
display of bulbs- is being kept up at
Vaughan's.

Chicago Seed Trade

Considerable frost the past week put
more vim into the Fall business. The
season is frilly opened and the counter
trade is brisk at all the seed stores.

Vaughan's Seed Store presents a hand-
some appearance with Paperwhite Nar-
cissi and Fall blooming Crocuses in full
bloom. Everything in bulbs and other
seasonable stock is in demand. At the
West Side warehouses the wholesale trade
is quite active, and night work has to
be resorted to in order to keep up with
the demand.

Roger F. Howe of the W. W. Barnard
Co. has gone to New Orleans as repre-
sentative of his post to the American
Legion Convention in progress there.
C. D. Coventry is still on the Pacific-
Coast making an inspection tour of the
crops. Arthur L. Phillips, father of Mrs.
K. B. Howe, passed away the past week,
at his late home in Stockbridge, Mass.
Mrs. Howe was at his bedside. The
funeral was held at Chatham, N. Y.

The Madison st. bridge was opened the
past week to foot passengers, which has
greatly improved business on that street.

The American Bulb Co. is moving such
a large number of bulbs of all descrip-
tions that the shipping department is
working overtime. In addition to all
bulb stock there is a large demand for
Peonies, which are offered in a choice se-
lection of ten select market varieties
"that have made their mark."

A. Henderson & Co. are handling a nice
line of plants as well as a complete stock
of everything- in bulbs and perennials.
Ben Bakker, one of the traveling sales-
men, has been suffering from a sprained
wrist for the past two weeks, which kept
him off the road.

The great topic of conversation in the
seed trade today is the new tariff. The
rates are settled, but at this time we do
not propose to say whether they are justi-
fiable or not. There are so many angles
to be studied that it would be folly for
one to be outspoken without first giving
the matter serious thought. However,
the sooner we adjust ourselves to the
new rates the better it will be in the
interest of our own business and the seed
business in general.

Cooler weather this week has influenced
the sale of bulbs considerably in the re-
tail stores here. There seems to be a
great demand for Tulips, more especially
the Darwin varieties, among the bulb
planters.

Hyacinths, Daffodils and Crocuses are
moving in large quantities, while there
is a steady demand for Paperwhite Nar-
cissi and Chinese Lilies for indoor use.

The greenhouse men are buying Scarlet
Globe Radish in large quantities, this va-
riety being considered the best for the
local market. Grand Rapids Lettuce and
Bloomsdale Spinach sales are fair.

Several good orders for Cabbage, Kohl-
Rabi, Cauliflower and Onion seed tor ex-
port to China have been filled this week.

The demand for Mushroom spawn is
good and sales of bottle spawn are on
(Contiimed on page 1058)

the upgrade. Many growers are of the
opinion that this is the one best spawn
to plant.

At Vaughan's Seed Store we noticed a
remarkable carefully named display of
cut Roses, including such well known
sorts as Premier, Sunburst, Mrs. A. Ward,
White Killarney, Cynthia Forde, Radi-
ance and Claudius Pernet. Another good
display of Dahlias attracted a lot of at-
tention. A specialty at Vaughan's Store
is Gladioli, and a fine collection of named
varieties is kept on hand daily.

A. Henderson's seed store reports busi-
ness in bulbs very heavy. The counter
trade is brisk at all times.

Onion sets in the Chicago district have
gone into storage in splendid condition,
on account of the fine, dry weather.

The quality of Michigan Peas and
Beans at present writing promises
to be good.

Prices on Timothy and Clover seed on
the Chicago Board of Trade remain about
the same, namely, Timothy $5 to $6.25
per 100 lbs., and Clover $10 to $17. The
market is in a good healthy condition at
the* present time, and the outlook for
higher prices in the near future is re-
garded as good.

Philadelphia Seed Trade

The Henry F. Michell Co. finds store
trade keeping up wonderfully well and
shipments of bulbs continue heavy.

At Hosea Waterer's this week the win-
dow was decorated with imported Dutch
novelties from Dutch tiles right down to
Dutch wooden shoes. This display, of
course, is only a means of attracting the
passerby for the bulb sales. A large
brass thermometer, 3ft. long, to be hung
outside the store in the near future, will
similarly attract notice. Some excep-
tional Daffodil bulbs were noticed here.
One sample of King Alfred was measured;
it was 23 cent, around the main bulb,
not including two large side shoots, which
were themselves flower bearing. The whole
weighed over 9 ounces.

J. Otto Thilow of Dreer's leaves Oct.
22 for a series of three lectures, under
the auspices of the Woman's National
Farm and Garden Association, Oct. 23 at
Chicago; Oct. 24 at Rockford, 111 ■ and
Oct. 26 at Grand Rapids, Mich.

N. E. Kirby, of I. N. Simon & Sons,
arrived back Oct. 16 from a three weeks'
trip through the West as far as Chicago.
He reported business 25 per cent above
last year's sales on the same trip. Speak-
ing of coal, Mr. Kirby thought the trouble
would not be getting it, but getting a
good quality.

Cincinnati Seed Trade

Trade in bulbs was exceptionally active
last week, according to the leaders in the
bulb and seed market here. Sales of
Holland bulbs of all kinds were particu-
larly large, increasing even over the large
sales of the week previous. Stocks are
low and orders have already been for-
warded duplicating original orders. Gar-
den clubs in numbers of cities and towns
of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky have been
forwarding orders for Narcissi, Tulips
and Liliuni candidum, and the orders
from Cincinnati and its suburbs on both
sides of the river have been heavy.
French bulbs have not been much in de-
mand in this market on account of the
high prices. Sales have been limited,
and dealers are notifying their connec-
tions that French bulbs are more or less
of a drug on the market. Both florists
and garden clubs have absolutely refused
to pay the high prices asked, and although
some of the French stocks are popular in
this section, the trade prefers to take the
Dutch bulbs rather than be gouged by the
French growers, as they regard it.

The demand for field seeds was more
active than ever the past week. Timothy,
je £? ■Red Clover were in high favor,
and Winter cover stuff of every character
sold well There was a big dmand for
Winter Vetch, but dealers were unable
to supplj' it, due to a shortage of the
supply. Seed jobbers say they could sell
double their stocks of Vetch if they could
supply the market. The car shortage in
this section has had something to do with
the inability of dealers to get stocks with
promptness. They are having no difficulty,
however, distributing their orders, as
railroad officials here are giving priority
to field seeds for farmers and deliveries
are made with all promptness. E. L. H.

repudiated over 85 per cent of their large
orders, for 20 to 50 case lots, leaving
the same on the hands of the importers.
The importers of undergraded bulbs in
undersized cases attempted to foist them
on florists and others by offering them at
prices below what standard sizes could be
sold for. Quite a good many sales and
deliveries were made of such bulbs, and
these have been kept by the buyers, who
have1 not yet realized the poor bargain
they made. Others, after inspection and
discovery of the facts, propose shipping
the little bulbs back to the sellers.

So great harm has been done to both
the amateur and commercial public that
in some cases strong resentment has
arisen, partly perhaps racial, that is ex-
pressed like this: "Since the French grow-
ers* attempt to obtain an extravagant
price and one. out of line with cost of
other flowers, causing us to grow bulbs at
a loss, they may keep their wares and
we will use other flowers and keep our
money at home." J. C. Vaughan.

Chicago, Oct. 14, 1922.

Debacle in Marketing French Bulbs

Editor The Florists Exchange:

The attempt of the Syndicate of the
French Growers to obtain extravagant
and unheard of prices for their small
crops of Narcissi in 1922 is resulting
disastrously to the trade generally.

Several Dutch and French jobbers of
this article in the growing districts for
these bulbs (Ollioules, Hyerss, etc.) have
with even greater cupidity than the grow-
ers themselves, changed the sizes of the
cases, changed the formerly well estab-
lished grades, and have sent to America
several million bulbs of sizes under 12
centimeters, including many even as small
as 10 centimeters, mostly non-bloomers
or containing only insignificant flowers.

This grade should never have been ex-
ported, but should have been retained by
the French for their planting stock for
the production of large bulbs in 1923.
Now these millions are scattered through-
out thousands of American homes, where
they will not satisfy the buyers, but only
discredit those department stores and
other sellers of low grade wares who put
them out. Also and still more unfortu-
nate, they will discredit those florists and
seedsmen in the regular trade who may
unwittingly oiler them as regular, depend-
ali'a bulbs.

It is a great pity that this Winter
flowering bulb, which in the past few
years has achieved such great popularity
in American homes, should now be ex-
ploited in the above described manner,
at the risk of the loss of interest of so
many buyers. And this is not all. There
will undoubtedly be left unsold or re-
exported to France many cases of these
little bulbs at a loss to those dealers who
promoted this traffic, quite in line with
the punishment ' due them for their cu-
pidity and bad( business operations.

Now, as to another important side of
the question — the effect on the florist
trade. American growers had come to
rely oil this article, to a large extent,
for Fall and Winter flowers, because of
the amount of bloom produced at a rea-
sonable cost, but when prices were ad-
vanced 75 per cent over the high rates of
1921 and to more than double normal
costs, they found the use of them too
expensive to be practical, and promptly
repudiated more than half the orders
they had given. In some localities they

Among Our Seed Growers

On Sept. 4, I went to see the John Bodger
& Sons Flower Seed firm east of this town
about ten miles. When I first knew that
section of the state, it was a swamp, now the
water is carried off by a drain just deep
enough to permit working the land, yet not
so deep but that it is sub-irrigated, which
saves the firm the expense of surface irriga-
tion.

And what a wonderland it is. Right now
it is ablaze with Zinnias, Asters and other
annuals the sight of which tickles a lover of
flowers. Since Zinnias and Asters pre-
dominate, I shall try to tell about them.
One hundred acres of each; a riot of color on
plants from 3 to 5ft. tall.

The Zinnias are divided into five classes,
and I must confess that I don't know which
class pleases me most. The Dahlia flowering
sort are 6in. diameter, and the petals so
beautifully overlapping that they are perfect
in form. The quilled petal type are also
large size and the airy way they are arranged
makes them very showy. The common,
every day type are of good form too. When
one sees a field of the Lilliputs, he is charmed
by their beauty. Last and least in size is a
dwarf, the flowers not larger than a dime,
plain petaled, quilled and flat, and so beauti-
fully variegated that one feels like using it
exclusively when growing this class of plants.
And the coloring of them all, except the little
ones, are gorgeous; from pure white to bril-
liant red.

Let it be borne in mind by all gardeners
that to produce a flower 6in. diameter the
soil must be fertile, and the plants 2ft. apart,
and even at that distance, they will com-
pletely cover the ground.

And the Asters. Again I say a hundred
acres of them. I couldn't keep track of all
the classes of this flower. Interested readers
will have to study the catalogs of the retail
trade to find out. Reds, pinks, white and
blue, and one that is of a dark color I can't
describe, but which, to me, was the crown-
ing glory of a field of about five acres. Then,
too, the color scheme in all those acres was
so beautifully worked out that one whose
privilege it is to see is wrought up to the
highest pitch of enthusiasm.

There has been considerable discussion
lately about the difficulty of growing Blue
Lace Flower Didiscus coerulea, or as Johnson
names it, Trachymene. I wish he could see
it on this seed farm. Four acres of it sown
with a hand drill in the open, as are Zinnias
and Asters. The plants are 3ft. tall and a
bountiful crop of seed is sure. Mr. Bodger
says that it will not bear transplanting.
Anyway, why should one want to bother
transplanting a plant which grows so well
if left alone where the seeds are sown. In-
cidentally, I may say that I grew this plant
in the open several years ago and thought
nothing of it until the discussion arose in
this journal about the difficulty other growers
had with it. I cannot close these remarks
without referring to another blue flower which .
also gave me great satisfaction, Catananche
coerulea.

For the first time did I see English frame
Cucumber; I had often read of this type, but
never before saw it growing, and the marvel-
ous part of the story was that they get $20
a pound for the seed. Mr. Bodger said that
many of them had no seeds, therefore are
not a big money maker even at the price.
Of Marigolds, the Tagetes family, and of the
composite tribe of plants, they have an end-
less variety, and from all parts of the western
hemisphere, tiny yellow, four-petaled species,
to the large, globe-shaped orange and yellow
colored varieties. A field of what they are
pleased to call Malmaison Carnations, the
seed sown last April, are so double, and so
fioriferous that they ought to satisfy the
most exacting gardener. Another strain of

this] /flowers/named Chabaud is grown in
mixture, and in three separate colors.

Centaurea americana was a new one on
me. The flowers 6in. in diameter, light rose
colored, and the petals or rays so slender
and so airily arranged that they resemble a
feather. A bed of Centaurea americana for
me next season. Of Amaranthus they have
three sorts, tricolor, salicifolia — Willow
leaved — and a broad-leaved variety named
Sunrise. The two last named have bronze
colored foliage, and the most brilliant crim-
son crowns. There is enough French, or
German, or something in my make up, that
the bright colors appeal to me. Then Cocks-
comb varieties are perfection both in the
dwarf and the tall forms. Helichrysum, the
annual species — I didn't know there were so
many species until I looked it up in Johnson — ■
grow 8ft. tall and the flowers are brilliant.

A bed of Thunbergia alata, about 100ft.
square, was a mass of vines from seed sown
last April. Since the seed shells as soon as
it ripens, I wondered how the crop is to be
saved. A few plants of a dark orange color
without a black eye is one of the novelties
this season.

On the farm is a yellow Hibiscus named
Yellow Ball ; it is a single flower almost equal
in beauty to Hibiscus manihot, which we
grow in all fine, herbaceous borders in this
Southland. A large bed of Athanasia was
new to me. Looking this subject up I find
that the tribe is a native of South Africa, and
all the members bear yellow flowers. A bed
of Athanasia for me next season. The flowers
are without rays, and this field has very much
the appearance of our hills and plains when
carpeted with Baeria gracilis.

A field of the shrubby Vinca in all colors
was luxuriant of foliage, and a sea of flowers. (
In the warmer sections of this state, this
plant is hardy, but it is not grown so ex-
tensively as it should be. A bed of Sensitive
Plant — Mimosa pudica — was the thriftiest
lot of plants I have ever seen on this coast.
Nights are too cold near the Coast for this
subject, and in the interior sections, the
atmosphere too dry to suit it.

The dreams of his young manhood of
doing something worth while in the flower
seed industry, of John Bodger, Si'., are com-
ing true. His love for plants has been
transmitted to his boys, who have stood by
their father in all the vicissitudes incident to
the seed growing business. The firm is
now known the world over for the production
of high-class flower seeds.

While Mr. Bodger is as young in spirit as
he was when I first met him 25 years ago, his
step is not as elastic as it was then, and a
conveyance is necessary for him to get ab°u'
over the vast acreage of flowers. He has had
built a little glass house, solar heat, in which
he plays at the game with such things as
Cyclamen and Primulas. It gives him a lot
of pleasure in his 76th year.

large number of members attended, and
during the meeting one new member was
elected. The exhibits of plants and flow-

task none too easy.

It was decided that at the next meet-

It was with regret the members re-
ceived the announcement of the secre-

This new dwarf Barberry comes to fill a long-felt need for an edging plant
that is dwarf in growth, free from all diseases and insect pests, and absolutely
hardy everywhere in the United States. The foliage is small and dainty; in fact,
as small as the leaves of the universally known evergreen Box Edging, Buxus
sempervirens. The young leaves are a beautiful emerald-green in the Spring,
changing to a pleasing, soft green during the Summer and dark red in the Fall.
In many parts of this country, garden beds had to be bordered annually or not at
all, as there was no perfectly hardy edging plant to use, but now no garden need
be incomplete on this account. Box-Barberry, as far as we are aware, has never
been known to winterkill in the slightest degree, and this insures a neat, unbroken
border that is always a delight to look at.

Fritz Bahr's
Commercial
Floriculture

A Practical Manual for the Retail Grower

The author needs no introduction here. His "Week's
Work," which has been appearing every Saturday in the
columns of The Florists Exchange, that well known
National Trade Paper, has long placed him in the front
ranks of practical men who write in a practical way. More than
one fellow florist has called him a genius — which he
certainly is, if for no other reason than that he is a philos-
opher who can make his philosophy clear and practical for
others; whose philosophy is based not on what he things,
merely, but on what he knows as a result of nearly half a century's successful experience.

Readers of THE EXCHANGE familiar with Mr. Bahr's thorough grasp of the everyday problems and
possibilities ahead of the Grower, combined with his extensive cultural knowledge, and his mastery of expressing
practice in words so readily understood, will quickly conjure up the wealth of informative material presented.
The book is divided into two parts:

FRITZ BAHR

Highland Park, III.

Parti

is devoted to a general review of the
florist business, its opportunities and its

responsibilities. Extensive chapters are devoted to

subjects such as the following:

The Retail Grower and His Business — Indoors
and Outdoors all the Year Around — -The Retail
Grower and His Equipment — Practical Opera-
tions in the Growing End of the Business —
Side Line Possibilities for the Retail Grower —
Important Flower Days of the Year — All Kinds
of Plant Materials for the Retail Grower.

Part II

embraces some 300 pages of informa-
tion which is truly cyclopedic.
Here all the types of plant, shrub, tree and vine that
the reader is likely to handle, whether he grows them
all or not, are brought to the reader's attention. Wheth-
er it is best to try to grow them; and if so, how; what
they are best suited for; how to make the most of
them; which vareities to use and which to avoid — these
and all other things that every man ought to know,
but that comparatively so few of us do know, are dis-
cussed by Fritz Bahr in his inimitable, unmistakable,
convincing, encouraging style.

The si2e of the book is 634x934 m- It is printed in clear, readable type, and more than passing notice should be
given to the illustrations, of which there are nearly 300, the majority of them made from photographs specially selected,
and many of them specially taken for this book. They picture every phase of all sides of the business and the great
majority of its materials in the way they ought to be grown. This remarkable feature includes a helpful, illuminating
typical Fritz Bahr caption for every illustration. The binding „^-n ,. • ^ j t. j * _

of the book is exceptionally strong and durable. The cover Cfift PAGES, printed on handsome $ C ftft

Week at the Capital

By CLARENCE L. LINZ [

Consideration of Tariff Objections

The United States Tariff Commission
will deal directly with those matters re-
lating to tariff placed under its jurisdic-
tion by the new tariff law, under instruc-
tions which have been issued by President
Harding. The President has ordered that
all requests, applications or petitions for
action or relief under the flexible tariff
provisions of the law shall be filed with
or referred to the United States Tariff
Commission direct, for consideration and
such investigation as is to be made. With-
in a few days the commission will make
an announcement of its plans for working
out the duties under the new law. Ten-
tative regulations governing its procedure
have been drafted, and the various mem-
bers of the commission are studying them.
The personnel of the commission is being
increased with a view to providing a force
which can handle the matters which will
come up.

It is understood that a number of appli-
cations have already been filed with mem-
bers of the commission, but no formal
action will be taken until the form of
procedure is worked out and perfected.

Exports Down, Imports Up

Exports during the month of August
were approximately $64,000,000 lower
than those of the corresponding month of
1921, according to figures which have just
been made public by the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, while
imports for the month were $87,000,000
greater than those of Aug. 1921. Our
August exports amounted to $296,272,079,
as compared with $360,625,636 in 1921,
while our imports totaled $281,412,910,
against $194, 768,751. Nearly half of our
August exports consisted of manufactures,
either for further use in manufacturing
or ready for consumption.

Good News ! No More New Taxes

The administration has no intention
of recommending to Congress the promul-
gation of any new taxes during the short
session, but instead, is in hopes that it
will be possible to remove some of the
war taxes which are still in force. Re-
ports to Washington indicate that there
is considerable demand throughout the
country for the removal of some of the
taxes which were put on during the war,
especially in view of the claims which
have been made by the administration
that great economies have been achieved
in the conduct of the Government.

The income from the taxes now in
force is not up to the Treasury Depart-
ment's! expectations, but it is believed
that by short term financing the Govern-
ment will be able to run without new
taxes. It is practically certain that if
agreement is reached with the various
foreign nations regarding the interest on
the war loans that this will be the case.

Is a Tariff Highway Robbery?

In view of the statements by opponents
of the new tariff law that it is highway
robbery, there is considerable interest at-
tached to the fact that that is just what
the term "tariff" originally meant. The
bill which Congress recently passed was
called by the name of a leader of a horde
of bandits who, more than a thousand
years ago, introduced to the world a new
method of taking plunder. Because a
band of marauders levied tribute upon
caravan which passed its way, the term
"tariff" has descended to us, by way of
England, to denote a duty imposed upon
goods passing into a certain territory.

In the early part of the eighth century,
a robber crew, under a leader by the
name of Tarif, crossed the straits from
Africa and landed on the southern shores
of Spain. The band consisted of Moors,
Berbers, Syrians, Africans and a few
Arabs, all bent on plunder. They ravaged
the country and established a little sea-
port town, called Tarifa after their leader,
which, with its old Moorish walls, stands
to this day. The robbers overran a great
deal of Spain. _ Tariff built himself a
castle, and to maintain it levied duties on
all commerce that came through or ap-
proached the town of Tarifa. With the
sword as his collecting agency, he would
hold up ship and caravan in piratical
fashion, and force the payment of tribute.
From that town, Tarifa, which was named
after a highwayman, the English word
"tariff" was taken.

For some centuries the Moors remained
in control of the Provinces of Cadiz and
Andalusia and the seaport town of Tarifa,
and levied their toll upon commerce. In
1292 they were driven out of Spain, but
left behind them a mode of raising rev-
enue which has since been adopted by
every civilized government in the world.

New Orleans, La.

The Market

Oct. 14. — We are having the first
real cool weather New Orleans has ex-
perienced this season, and although it is
not what you would call overcoat weather
in the true sense of the word, it is brisk
enough to give womenls summer furs
some excuse for being.

The value of cool weather to both
growers and florists cannot be overesti-
mated. Greenhouse flowers increase in
value as the cooler weathe'r cuts down
the output of outdoor varieties, and retail-
ers will be enabled to lay in larger stocks
because of the better conditions for stor-
ing. The production of home gardens
will be diminished, and there will be less
loss from bad shipments received from the
central and western markets.

With the beginning of October, busi-
ness picked up with a bang, and on our
last visit to the various shops the many
smiling faces of their owners told plainer
than words that the little greenbacks
were once more making their way down
florist row. Practically all of the vaca-
tionists are back in the city, and the so-
cial season is again getting in full swing.
The month of October is considered the
moving month in this city. A number of
florists stated that they have had con-
siderable landscape gardening to do lately,
with more orders coming in. Weddings,
too, are becoming more numerous, and cut
flowers are much in demand for the vari-
ous social gatherings,

The local Chrysanthemum crop is ex-
pected in about the 20th of this month,
and from present indications, the supply
will be plentiful and of high grade. The
local crops all over the city are now in
flourishing condition. Some damage was
done by rain during the Summer months,
but those that remain are healthy and
sturdy, and will almost meet the All
Saints Day demand.

Carnations from the North are coming
in with longer stems. They are bringing
$2 and $2.50 per doz. Tuberoses are still
hanging on, and from present indications
will be grown in New Orleans until
Christmas. Radiance Roses still have a
corner on the Rose market, very little de-
mand being felt for any other variety.

European bulb stock is not being grown
as plentifully here as last year, due to the
higher prices wanted for the bulbs and the
large import duty which must now be
paid.

Legion Captures City

The entire city of New Orleans is
in the hands of the vanguard of the
American Legion delegates, who have been
arriving during the past week. Although
it was easily captured by the advance
squadrons, these are constantly being re-
inforced by countless units arriving by
train, boat and airplane. The convention
opened on the 16th.

Getting to its practical aspect, florists
are naturally being rushed to capacity to
take care of the orders which have al-
ready started pouring in. The city is
decorated in profusion. Floral orna-
ments fill an important part of the dis-
plays of many stores and shops; the
homes that are entertaining ex-service
men are decorating with flowers and the
banquet halls will consume floral decora-
tions worth hundreds of dollars.

This week with its convention rush will
mark the real beginning of Fall business
for local florists. There will probably not
be any more dull weeks until next Sum-
mer. Summer vacationists have returned,
society is taking on a spirit of gayety and
the Winter tourists will begin pouring
in in a few more weeks, all of which means
long, weary, yet profitable working days
for the florists.

Window displays are playing an im-
portant part toward making things look
attractive for the Legion convention and
all of the downtown florists and those on
St. Charles ave. have done their best to
give their windows a festive appearance.
Charles Eble is featuring a huge Ameri-
can Legion emblem which he himself
made against a background of Oak leaves.
Huge bows of red, white and blue rib-
bon seem to hold it suspended while below
is a profusion of ferns and potted plants
with smaller emblems distributed through-

out. The display is surely effective and
as the Eble flower shop is located next
to the Grunewald Hotel, which is conven-
tion headquarters, it will be seen and
appreciated by practically all of the vis-
iting delegates.

U. J. Virgin is also featuring the Legion
emblem with red, white and blue stream-
ers, but has as a foreground two huge
baskets of the most perfect and largest
white Chrysanthemums yet shown in the
city.
Retailer's Discuss Advertising

The New Orleans Retail Florists
Association held a short meeting Friday
evening at the Metairie Ridge Flower
Shop for the purpose of perfecting plans
for All Saints' Day advertising. It was
definitely decided that advertising would
be placed on a cooperative basis and that
full page layouts should appear in the
daily papers several days prior to Nov.
1, urging the buying of flowers at that
time. This cooperative advertising will
not in any way affect the individual ad-
vertising, however, and each florist after
pushing flowers in a general way will also
run his regular card or ad to bring his
name before the public.

It was at first planned to buy flowers
for this occasion collectively, but after due
consideration it was thought best to order
individually.

E. W. McClellan, a wholesale grower of
San Francisco, who has been in New Or-
leans for several days, was present at the
meeting and gave a short talk.

Horticulturists to Meet

The New Orleans Horticultural Society
is planning an interesting meeting next
Sunday at the nursery of E. A. Farley at
Gentilly Ridge, when a number of im-
portant subjects will be taken up. Charles
Eble is scheduled to give a talk on "Store
Management." As he is the oldest florist
in the city in point of experience, his
talk will be of much benefit to the other
members.
News Notes

Walter L. Puffer of Vaughan's Seed
Store, Chicago, spent several days in the
city last week.

Frank J. Reyes has just received a large
assortment of metal designs from! Ger-
many, for use in decorating the graves
on All Saints Day in particular, and says
that already he has received a number of
orders. The wreaths are beautiful in
coloring and are deftly put together.

Max Scheinuk states that the improve-
ments which he is making on his store
are just about completed, and that he
isn't sorry of it either, for it has handi-
capped him in his work, but we feel that
the results sufficiently warrant any in-
convenience, for the new apartment above
the store is certainly a work of art and
greatly enhances the building. C. J. M.

rieties of fine pigeons, and won a large
number of prizes, including a number of
firsts.

August R. Baumer as a member of the
Louisville Optimists Club, was recently
photographed and his likeness used in a
special section of a local paper, given
over to the Optimists.

John S. McKinney, florist, was married
on Oct. 12, at Jeffersonville, Ind., to
Miss Rebecca Oldham, the couple being
from Lexington, Ky. Tandy H. Brown
and Miss Blance D. Dickerson were mar-
ried at the same time, it being a double
■wedding. The two couples brought large
boxes of flowers with them and used them
during the ceremony, which was per-
formed by the Rev. Frank E. Andrews.

Joseph Able, secretary-treasurer of C. I
P. Thompson & Co., local florists, was
rather busy during the recent national
meeting of the' Exchange Clubs, in Louis- '
ville, he aiding the local club, of which
he is' a member, in arrangements for the
convention and entertainment of the
guests. A- W. W.

Trade Notes

Business is picking up according
to the local florists, who report that vol-
ume is better than it has been. Frost
on Oct. 12 will reduce outdoor stock, es-
pecially Dahlias, which will result in bet-
ter demand for florists' lines.

The Kentucky Society of Florists met
at the Indiana Dahlia Farm of Edward
Kunzman, on Oct. 4, the establishment be-
ing a few miles north of Louisville on an
interurban line. The visitors were tak-
en over the farm, which boasts a tre-
mendous number of varieties; these were
in fine shape at the time. The meeting
was held a week earlier than usual, due
to the fact that a number of members
were planning to attend the F. T. D.
meeting at Baltimore. Among these were
J. S. Miller and Mrs. Miller, George
Sehulz, E. G. Reimers, Jr., William
Walker, Sr„ Henry Fuchs and Miss Edith
V. Walker.

Personals

At the annual meeting of the
Lions Club, Louisville, Dave Walker of
Edith V. Walker & Brothers, was elected
to the office of tail twister of the organi-
zation, which also has an office known
as the lion tamers. Mr. Walker is a
charter member of the organization.

Mrs. August R. Baumer, wife of a prom-
inent local florist, on Oct. 10, lost her
brother, H. J. Laufer, 45 years of age,
an officer of the Frey Planing Mill Co.
Mr. Laufer had been ill for about six
months. He was one of the best known
men in the local lumber business.

Victor Mathis, florist in the West End,
has just secured a permit for erection of

R. H. S. Fall Show in London

Having to forego the usual Midsummer
Show owing to the sale of Holland Park
at Kensington, the R. H. S. arranged and
held on Oct. 3, 4 and 5 a great Autumn
exhibition at the Holland Park Rink.
This building has a floor area about four
times that of the R. H. S. hall, apart
from the balcony.

This show was a gigantic success for it
not only embodied the usual fruit and
vegetable shows of former years, but also
a great floral display. Close on 100
firms were exhibiting apart from the com-
petitive fruit and vegetable classes. Roses,
Dahlias, Michaelmas Daisies, Chrysanthe-
mums, Carnations, orchids, herbaceous
flowers, Sweet Peas, tuberous Begonias,
greenhouse plants, and hardy shrubs, etc.,
were all staged in great groups by tbe va-
rious specialists. The fruit and vege-
table displays, too, were of superb qual-
ity, Sutton & Sons, and Dobbie & Co.
never excelled their efforts on any pre-
vious occasion. Two new _ Michaelmas
Daisies gained awards of merit, Little Boy
Blue, double and Bars Pink, and several
Dahlias and orchids.

Altogether the show was remarkably fine
despite the rains that have never really
let up since early June. Many thousands
of people showed their appreciation by
flocking to it with the same readiness as
is customary at the Spring and Summer
shows.

As usual, the trade displays were not
competitive except for the Carnation cup
for the finest exhibit and the Wigan cup
for a group of Roses. Bunyard & Co.
gained the Coronation cup with a fruit
display, while Alex Dickson & Sons cap-
tured the Rose cup. All other exhibitors
received medals, according to the deci-
sions of the judges as to the respective
merit of the groups. The R. H. S. does
not offer cash prizes to trade exhibitors
nor are exhibits actually competitive; the
groups are pointed individually, and re-
ceive an award, mostly honorary.

On this occasion many silver cups were
given to various exhibits; these, how-
ever are not so high in value of the gold
medal. H. J. Jones gained a gold medal
for Chrysanthemums as did Carl Engel-
mann for Carnations, Elisha HickS for
Roses, Charlesworth & Co. for orchids,
Sutton & Sons for vegetables, Dobbie &
Co. for Potatoes and Bunyard & Co., J.
C. Allgrove, and R. C. Nottcutt for
fruit.

Richmond, Calif. — Adolph Winters,
florist, is erecting a new building at 11th
and MacDonald aves., anil will occupy
same when completed.

Recording Judges9 Decisions

ENDORSED BY OUK LEADING HORTICULTURAL SOCIETIES

THE CLERICAL WORK of Every Flower Show Exhibition Should
Be Run on Business Lines. Our System is the best, the simplest,
the least expensive, and, in every particular, the most satisfactory.

We have devised, for the use of Managers
and Secretaries, a set of Three Books, Entry
Forms, Entry Cards and Pasters, covering in
detail the orderly and systematic arrange-
ment of every item in bookkeeping, from
the time the Entry Forms are given out to
the payment of prizes and closing up of ac-
counts, and this system is so concise and
complete that prize winners can be paid off
without confusion immediately after Judges'
decisions have been rendered. The system
is so plain that no instructions from us have
ever been called for.

This system, once tried, is ever a favorite;
it cari be tiuthfully called the greatest Labor
Saver ever placed within the reach of Ex-
hibition Managers.

Think This Over

Maintain a Show First and Last

If you grow for retail you should al-
ways figure first and last on maintaining
an attractive display all through the
Winter months. After all is said and
done about cultural notes and suggestions
on how to grow a certain plant, as long
as you retail your stock, nothing is of
greater importance than keeping up the
show. Right now you can purchase well
grown 2% in. or 3in. stock of Primula
chinensis, obconica and malacoides, Cine-
rarias and Calceolarias. You can obtain
them reasonable, and while a night tem-
perature of 50 deg. doesn't suit them
to perfection, you can do them nicely in
a Carnation house from now on. All of
these varieties are fine for the show
house, and if you never sell one, they
more than pay for themselves in helping to
make your establishment attractive. \ou
cannot pay too much attention to that
end of the business. Don't have your
patrons come into your greenhouses this
Winter and during early Spring, and see
nothing but plants coming on. Have a
show on all of the time. It matters little
just what is in bloom, but bloom is what
you want. The above mentioned plants
will give it to you.

Mother's Day

Will You Have Some of Your Own

Darwins?

The time to get busy, for Mother's Day
is not a couple of weeks before that date
falls due, but many months ahead, at least
with the florist who grows his own stock.
With many, Mother's Day for the past
three seasons has been almost the equal
of Easter, and the retail grower in par-
ticular should pay special attention to
growing on what he can to meet an ever
increasing demand for flowers. It is here
where the Darwin Tulips come in. These
Tulips are as desirable cut flowers for
Mother's Day as anything we might men-
tion, and what makes them still more de-
sirable to grow on is the fact that it can
be done nicely outdoors. The man with
benches crowded with bedding stock the
first week in May is bound to appreciate
this. Plant your bulbs in 5ft. wide beds,
allow 4in. of space between them; it will
pay you, as you will obtain better foliage
and better stems. In most localities in
the East and Middle West, most Darwins
will be at their best the forepart of
May, but by building a temporary frame
over your beds, you can by placing sashes
over them or heavy shade either hustle
them along or hold them back consider-
ably, so as to have them at their best for
the day. you want them. It won't hurt to
plant a few in pans ; carry outdoors, cover
well, lift the pans in early April and place
in a coldframe where they can be allowed
to come along slowly, maybe to be pushed
a little by the end of the month.

[Easter Notes

Things to Think of Now

Dutch bulb stock plays an important
part around Easter, not only due to the
fact that it is easily handled as anything
we might mention, but when well done
there is always a good demand for it. For
instance, you don't want anything showier
than an 8in. or lOin. pan of Hyacinths,
double or Darwin Tulips. Well flowered
Daffodils, too, are among the best sellers.
Even single early Tulips, white, yellow
and pink come in handy. White Hawk
is one of the most desirable and showy of
all. You may not be able to grow on
profitably, giganteum Lilies, Rambler Roses
or Hydrangeas, nor have the room or
heating facilities for them, but there is
hardly an excuse for not filling a goodly
number of pans with Tulips, Hyacinths
and Narcissi to be grown on for Easter.
The little bench room they will take up,
and that only for a few days, and the
little work they require, makes it possible
even for the smallest of growers to handle
them profitably for Easter. In many lo-
calities it wouldn't even require more than
a coldframe to get them into bloom for
Easter.

Are You Coming?

A Call to the Wise

Whether you are a retail or wholesale grower or both, bigger business
is on the way. Don't wait for it to come down your street and hunt
you up. Go out to meet it a little more than half way. Whatever just
happens may turn out well, but it is that which you go after you are
worthy of to possess. Keep on growing better stock. Don't kick about
expenses, but cut out unnecessary ones. Forget about the things you
cannot grow, and grow the ones you can, better. Higher prices than
ever are and will be paid for this class of stock, but don't hide it. Ad-
vertise it, holler about it to let people know. Grow more and better;
advertise more and better. That and practicing the "Golden Rule" con-
stitutes the highway on which bigger business travels. It is here you
will meet it. Are you coming?

Bulb Stock for Easter

Keep Separate from the Rest

While there is a lot of bulb stock grown
on for Easter, and often shipped long
distances, shipping will never improve
the flowers. There is nothing like ar-
ranging things so that you have your own
stock to draw on. It is a mistake to
figure on forcing whatever you may have
left for Easter, from the stock you use
during the Winter months. A much bet-
ter way is to figure out now just what you
are liable to need for Easter week, plant
accordingly and store this stock sepa-
rately from the balance. You don't need
a bulb cellar for your Easter bulbs. If
you are at all crowded for room, carry the
bulbs wanted for Easter outdoors. You
most likely will experience no trouble
in bringing the stock in by March 1.
Don't make the mistake in digging into
them in case you run short of what you
have planted for earlier forcing. Plant
enough in pans. What you don t sell in
the pans can still be used for cutting.
What doesn't come in for Easter will
come in handy the week after.

Chrysanthemums

Don't Overfeed Your Plants

If you have good plants, nice foliage
and well formed buds, don't spoil or rum
them by an overdose of fertilizer. It's
much better to let them alone. Avoid ex-
cess of moisture in the houses, make use
of plenty ventilation and keep aphis away.
For the man not experienced in handling
certain fertilizer, it is always well to go
slow. Too many of us still maintain or
take it for granted that so long as a cer-
tain dose of fertilizer hasn't killed the
plants, it must naturally have done a lot
of good. If your plants at this time are
not what they ought to be, nitrates of
any kind won't help much, nor will ma-
nure. If you used well manured soil to
start with and you have good stock which
had a little feeding you most likely will
obtain good flowers. The average retail
grower cannot expect to compete with
the specialist as to large flowers. He
doesn't need to in order to make money
out of his plants. I claim a great many
more plants are yearly ruined by over-
feeding than turn out wrong for the lack
of it. Go slow, but don't stop experi-
menting. Keep on looking for more light.

Climbing Roses

You Can Root Cuttings Now

You can take fairly ripened wood now
of almost any good variety of climbing
Rose; cut the wood so as to have about
three eyes, place in the sand, even in a
house of 50 deg., or when you are rooting
your bedding stock; you will experience
no trouble in rooting these Roses. It
may take some of the cuttings six weeks
or more to do it, but when once rooted
and carried in 2%'s over Winter, planted
out next May, you will obtain nice field
stock by next Fall. Every retail grower
has always call for climbing Roses dur-
ing the bedding season, either in a dor-

mant state or as pot plants. Some may
even be used for forcing, not so much
for Easter as to have in flower during
the weeks following Easter and Mother's
Day, especially for which day but little
forcing is required. If you can get hold
of wood now, it will pay you to root cut-
tings; you can do the same thing with
hybrid Teas if you have plants on hand
to take cuttings from.

Canterbury Bells and Foxglove

Canterbury Bells and Foxgloves, two of
the most showy border plants, are often
very disappointing. We grow on fine
stock by Fall, but to treat them just
right during the Winter months is not
quite so easy. Heavy covering is always
bad. To my mind, there is nothing like
carrying the plants in a frame. After the
ground is frozen, and not before, dry
leaves should be packed in between the
plants, and the frames covered with
sashes and the sashes with shutters or
boards to keep the light out. Wet leaves
or manure will cause the plants to damp
off. If you have Canterbury Bells in the
field you wish to force in pots, get at the
potting now, and carry the plants after
that into a frame. The plants are best
off if they don't freeze; at least they don't
appreciate it. The more foliage you can
keep on the plants the better, but up to
February they want anything but a warm
house. The nearer 32 deg. you can hold
the house they are in the better, and even
after that time never subject them to a
high temperature. Lift a few plants and
heel in a cold house to be planted out in
a bench or, better still, a solid bed in
February, to be slowly forced into bloom
for cut flowers for late April and during
the month of May.

The Passing of Juliet

Under this caption a writer comments
on that remarkable hybrid briar Rose,
Juliet, and its passing, chiefly because of
its strong affinity for black spot, and its
replacement by Queen Alexandra. This
writer well recalls the first appearance
of Juliet. It was shown by Wm. Paul
& Son, some three years before Mme. Ed.
Herriott, 1909 to be exact. It owed its
origin to the same species which is re-
sponsible for all the Pernetiana varieties.
Soleil d'Or was Pernet Ducher's first
Pernetiana, the result of crossing Antoine
Ducher and the Persian Yellow, R. lutea.
Soleil d'Or probably has influenced Rose
breeders more than any other one variety.
It is a poorly shaped flower, but has re-
markable coloring and scented foliage.
This latter character it imparted to
Juliet, which came from the old H. P.
Capt. Hayward and Soleil d'Or. The
color of the two varieties instead of in-
fusing as is usual, split the difference
as it were, the red remaining on the
upper surface and the gold on the reverse.
Juliet was the first bicolor Rose ever
known, and it created a great furore, but,
alas, while it grew with the wild abandon
of a briar, and therefore disliked pruning,
it took black spot so furiously that gar-
dens previously free from the disease be-
came smitten with it.

^Uieen Alexandra was introduced by
McGredy in 1918. Its parentage has
not been given, but it is not difficult to
assume it. It has the same coloring of
Juliet, but is even brighter and of much
better form, besides being much more free.
Juliet is strongly briar, whereas Queen
Alexandra is akin to the H. Ts. in habit.
The flowers, however, are not so large.
I first saw this Rose in the coat of a well
known N. R. S. official a year before it
was exhibited, and at the time I won-
dered how it was possible to produce
Juliet so brilliant and shapely.

Queen Alexandra as yet is little known
in America. The only record of its be-
ing exhibited was at the Seattle Rose
show last July. W. B. Clarke of
San Jose, Calif., offers it this
season and Bobbink & Atkins in
their extensive supplementary list of new
Roses are featuring it, sufficient indica-
tion that the Queen Alexandra Rose has
proved itself sufficiently good to warrant
its inclusion. I believe this firm has been
trying out over 300 new varieties the
past season, and I doubt not that many
Rose enthusiasts will be glad of the op-
portunity of obtaining some of the much
talked of European novelties of recent
years, including the one under notice,
Christine, Miss Willmott, Mrs. C. V.
Haworth, Mrs. Redford, Independence
Day, etc., most of them having color tints
practically unknown before the advent of
Soleil d'Or. W.

Gray's Lily, Lilium Grayi

Gray's Lily, Lilium Grayi

This delicate and beautiful native Lily
was named after the famous botanist,
Asa Gray, by his co-worker, Dr. Sereno
Watson. It has long been a favorite with
amateur botanists and plant lovers.
Though by no means showy, it is dainty
and modest, and makes an attractive gar-
den plant, more especially for a gardener,
who is interested in plants rather than in
the "mass effects" of the landscape archi-
tect.

The flowers are usually borne one or
two to eaoh plant, are dull red or orange,
heavily spotted inside, rather drooping as
shown in the illustration. The plant
grows one to two/ feet high, sometimes
a little more, and blooms in early July.
It is native of Virginia and North Caro-
lina.

Bulbs may be bought of any nursery-
man who specializes in Lilies, or they
may be collected from the wild if one is
so fortunate as to be in the right neigh-
borhood. Bulbs should be transplanted in
early Autumn (August or September) or
very early in Spring, and should be set
in moist, well drained positions, not too
sunny, being set to a depth of 5in.

ELDORA-ELDORA

This New, White and Pink Variegated

Carnation

has proven so eminently satisfactory in every way that
I shall distribute it to the trade this season, instead
of next, as I had contemplated at first. I consider
EL DORA a decided improvement over any varie-
gated Carnation. A truly commercial variety. If I did
not consider it such, 1 should not undertake to send it
out. It is of good commercial size, very prolific, making
no useless grass, with fine, strong stem, and it will not
split.

ELDORA ships well and is a grand keeper-

Some New England Nurseries

By
L. E. MANNING

THE first thing one notices at the New England
Nurseries, Bedford, Mass., is the evergreens.
John Kirkegaard furnished us some facts in this
regard. No less than 207,000 dwarf evergreens were
rooted last Winter in this firm's three
houses — some 1500ft. of glass. And next
Spring there will be 100,000 fancy ever-
greens to set out. Some 20,000 Mugho
Pines may be seen, comprising, as Mr.
Kirkegaard informed us, about the largest
stock of the kind in America. Two years
ago in June there had been five horses
who had not been outside the barn door
for three months on account of the acute
labor shortage. Mr. Kirkegaard happened
to own a farm in New Hampshire and got
the farmers in that locality to plant some
Mugho Pines for him. These are now do-
ing fine and a considerable stock is coming
along up there.

Several "stunts" were noticed at this
establishment which may or may not be
new, but may be interesting to those who
do not happen to use them.

Juniper pyramidalis is set out only 3in.
apart in the rows. This gives them a quick
height and they are not small enough to
be buried by the earth turned over by the
cultivator. Thus, after one year most of
them can be lined out, instead of having
to add another year's growth before that
stage is reached.

In the lawn fronting the office are several
sample beds of the choice varieties of
evergreens. These are specimen plants and
the idea is just another way of avoiding
the long trip over the rows to show cus-
tomers a range of varieties to choose from.

An unusual sight was Japanese Quince
— the same plant bearing both fruit and
bloom, Aug. 27.

A border of Cotoneaster horizontalis,
one year old, showed fine growth. Mr.
Kirkegaard was quite enthusiastic about
this variety, which he said was absolutely
hardy in Massachusetts.

A similar idea is to be seen along the side of the
road in the photograph on page 1072. The bases of
the large trees in the foreground are surrounded
with rocks and evergreens planted therein. Of course,

The Standish Arborvitae

I

American Forestry Co.

The visitor should commence with a call
on T. F. Borst, 419 Boylston, Boston, and
get some idea of the sales efforts put forth
by this concern. Thousands of catalogs,
circulars and price lists pour out continu-
ously and the result has been a success.

We first visited Little Tree Farms No. 1
at Framingham where Superintendent
Charles E. Bray piloted us around the 100
or so acres: — practically all devoted to
growing hardy evergreens. The soil is a
good loam, with not too much sand and
everything is grown here from seed. Some
fine Colorado Blue Spruce and White Pine
were noted here.

Little Tree Farms No. 2 at Framingham Centre
has 110 acres devoted to growing and to retail dis-
play. An old estate, including a large house and out-
lying buildings, has been bought here. The house is
fitted out as a rest room for visitors and part of it
is used by one of the employees as a home. Some
fine old trees are to be seen here. The outlying build-
ings are in use as packing sheds, storage sheds and
stables.

Perhaps the feature of this establishment is the
landscape work by Thomas P. Smith. The evergreen
gardens are laid out by the side of the road and are
quite unique. A good idea is the rockery, forming
part of this garden, which is arranged, so that nu-
merous varieties of small evergreens are planted in
the spaces between the stones.

N Thuja japonica or Standishi we have an evergreen seldom
seen in the average collection, yet it differs entirely from
most Arborvitses and should be included in plantings where
one wants a variety to include uncommon sorts. Its foliage
bears a closer resemblance to a Retinispora (Chamaecyparis),
as our illustration so clearly shows, and might be mistaken
for a strong growing unsheared R. plumosa or pisifera, except
that it has a yellowish tinge to the open loose growth and
yet not bright enough to approach the golden forms of the
R. species referred to. It was formerly classed as Thujopsis
Standishi or Standish's Sitka Cypress, under which name it
may be more familiar to some nurserymen. It forms a shapely
specimen of medium height and is most effective when used
singly, as seen In our reproduction. For obtaining a stock
of this Japanese introduction, propagation is by seed or cut-
tings, similar to our native Arborvitpes.

the idea is not a striving after aesthetic beauty, it is
merely another way of attracting the attention of
the moneyed motorist.

Bay State Nursery

The bigger the establishment, the more systematic
the work and the less of the unusual for the itinerary
writer to comment upon. With this thought I excuse
my briefness in speaking of this large wholesale
establishment at North Abington, Mass., where 300
acres of nursery stock are grown and 415 acres are
planted to farm crops or allowed to rest.

The general impression is one of good looking stock
in clean rows. Some excellent ideas, not altogether
new, perhaps, were noted. Several specimens of the
Laurel Leaf Willow were trimmed up like Bay trees

for decorative work. "Don" Wyman, who was our
guide, assured us that he found an excellent de-
mand for these. The advantages, of course, are ob-
vious. The trees in the first place cost infinitely less
to produce and in the second place are perfectly
hardy.

Special mention might be made of Juniperus vir-
ginalis globosa, which is here found to be absolutely
hardy and maintains an excellent color throughout
the Winter.

Visitors will notice a church bell placed on top of
the office. This is to signal men in the
field. A code is used and one stroke of the
bell calls a certain man ; two, another ;
and so on.

Littlefield-Wyman

Another North Abington establishment
was visited and here the glass assumes an
importance almost equal to the actual nur-
sery work. Mr. Littlefield showed us
through the 20,000ft. of glass and some
nice looking Carnations - were noticed.
Eastern Beauty, a seedling raised here, is
well worth comment.

Evergreens are the nursery specialty
and some of the houses were devoted to
rooting young stock. Some 40 acres are
comprised in the nursery, not all of which
is yet planted.

Nurserymen who do not know Picea Al-
berta have a pleasure in store. A gray-
ish green in color, it rises tapering like
the towers of a cathedral — in miniature —
and the needles are so fine in texture and
thick in growth that it has quite a solid
appearance. We observed this strange
evergreen at only three establishments out
of almost a dozen visited in New England.
It will be some time before a stock is
available anywhere in this country. It is
native, I was told, to the Province of Al-
berta, Canada.

Mr. Littlefield showed us some Juniperus
suecica, perhaps the hardiest of the Swed-
ish Junipers. Several fine specimens were
seen and Mr. Littlefield stated that he
was working up a stock of them.

C. E. Wilson & Co.

Mr. Wilson is blazing out new paths at
Manchester, Conn. First of all, he is grow-
ing Grapes, including such varieties as
Concord, Niagara, and Warden, a thing not
before attempted in this section. He is
also engaged in the growing of Apple seed-
lings. Mr. Wilson drove us from place to
place, as his nursery is not all in one
block, and pointed out the extremely
healthy growth the Grapes were making.
There are several acres of Grapes alone.
Some 60,000 Apple seedlings were no-
ticed and as Mr. Wilson put it, "although
they were , not 100 per cent, a success it
Was enough to show that the thing can be
done." He plans to grow half a million
seedlings next year and is confident of the
success of the venture.

Mr. Wilson's specialty is Berberis Thun-
bergii. We had the privilege, for the first

time in our lives, of viewing two million Barberry

seedlings — one year — all in one block.

For the rest, the nursery carries a general line for

retail and wholesale trade.

Nursery readers are referred to three items of spe-
cial interest to them appearing elsewhere in this
issue. The first is the text of the recent F. H. B.
amendment to Qu. 37 regulations affecting with in-
spection and packing requirements. The second is the
hitherto apparently unnoticed letter of the California
Nurserymen's Association containing recommenda-
tions of further modification. And the third is the
tribute to the late Oscar Beckley and the outline of
his work which has had such a far-reaching influence
on the modern nursery catalog.

The Georgia Nursery Law in Action

We have been given the opportunity of
examining a letter and a collection of en-
closed application blanks, etc., sent by
W. V. Eeed, State entomologist of Georgia
to a nursery firm of New York State,
which visualizes most strikingly the sort
of legislative requirements that are to a
constantly increasing degree being applied
to interstate nursery business.

Desiring to send nursery stock into
Georgia in response to an order, the com-
pany referred to had sent a copy of its
own State nursery certificate to the State
entomologist at Atlanta, expecting that
permission would be given to send the
material at once. However, the letter
from Mr. Eeed throws a different light
on the matter.

"Before we can issue a permit to do
business in Georgia," he writes, "it will
be necessary for you to fill out and proper-
ly execute the enclosed fumigation agree-
ment and affidavit in regard to discarding
stock visibly affected with wooly aphis,
crown gall or nematode root knot; bond
for_ one thousand ($1000) dollars; appli-
cation for license including the fee of
five ($5.00) dollars; and power of attor-
ney to a citizen of Georgia as indicated
in the summary of the requirements of
the nursery law passed by the 1922 Legis-
lature enclosed and return same to this
office. In addition you are required to

attach a Georgia shipping tag to each
shipment made into the State, and a tag
price list is enclosed for your information.

"On receipt of the enclosed blanks filled
out and properly executed, we will issue
you a certificate and license to make ship-
ments into Georgia. We would also like
to call your attention to the license and
fee necessary for salesmen and agents as
provided in the law in order that you
may acquaint your' employees iii Georgia
with the law as it affects them to , avoid
possible confusion and delay later."

The various enclosures are as follows :

Exhibit 1. Application for license as a nur-
seryman, in which has to be stated the kind
of stock grown and its approximate acreage;
the name and location of the nursery; and
names and addresses of three reliable nursery-
men as references. This application states that
there is being sent with it $5 as a general
license fee and $1 personal license fee for
each agent, salesman or solicitor representing
the applicant in Georgia.

Exhibit 2. Bond for $1000 for three years,
to be signed by the applicant and by a suf-
ficient security, and approved by the secretary
of the State Board of Entomology.

Exhibit 3. A formal fumigation agreement,
whereby the applicant promises to fumigate
with hydrocyanic acid gas all stock, to be
shipped into Georgia (with the exception of
tender evergreens and Strawberry plants) ac-
cording to specific . directions as to time,
strength of gas, etc.

Exhibit 4. A price list of printed nursery
certificate tags, one of which must be attached
to each shipment of stock sent into Georgia,

Exhibit 5. An affidavit to be signed by the

in which the applicant agrees to "discard and

namental trees or shrubs, small fruits, and
other nursery stock, that are visibly affected

vidual residing in Georgia authorizing him to

Certainly Georgia has made most thor-
ough and careful provisions for its com-
plete safety in accepting the services of
nurserymen throughout the country. The
question is, will those nurserymen con-
sider the privilege of serving the State
of Georgia worth all the trouble they will
have to take in doing it?

In this connection the following editor-
ial comment from our astute daily con-
temporary, the Macon (Ga.) News, is in-
teresting and, as usual, to the point. After
giving a summary of the law, it says:

We cannot feel that the law works any
great injustice to the nurserymen as a whole,
because it was framed in large part by Mr.
R. C. Berckmans, acting, it is true, in his ca-
pacity of member of the State Board of Ento-
mology, but whose long experience in the
nursery business gave him a sympathetic un-
derstanding of nursery problems. Indeed, he
made a number of addresses in this and other
States to nursery organizations pointing out
the need for such a measure, and urging them
to accept it and help it through.

In practice no one will make a claim against
a nurseryman, under this law, unless he had
made purchases and has been damaged on a
large scale.

But as our contemporary, The Flortsts Ex-
change, says, it will perhaps cause the nur-
serymen to revise their scale of '-prices, be-
cause of the additional bookkeeping and over-
head expenses involved, and many of them
will not even register in Georgia.

So the law will work a certain amount of
annoyance all round, and in the last analysis
where good nurserymen — those who exarcise
a maximum care — must pay the penalty for
those of their craft who were not equally dili-
gent and not so conscientious.

Nursery Development in Texas

The adaptability of the soil and climate of
Galveston County has made this section
the natural home of the nurseryman. There
are thirty-one nurseries in this county, ex-
cluding dealers, who grow almost every kind
of tree, flower, fruit and shrub imaginable.

Among these nurseries, the largest is that
of Dues Brothers, near Dickinson, who
specialize in ornamental trees and fruits.
Another is that of the Evergreen Nursery,
in the same vicinity, whose specialty is that
of flowers and small evergreens.

Nursery Course at Amherst, Mass.

The special course for nurserymen
which was carried out so successfully at
Massachusetts Agricultural College last
year will be repeated this Winter. The
school is conducted cooperatively by the
New England Nurserymen's Association
and the College, assisted further by the
State Nurserymen's Association of Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut. The term be-
gins January 2, 1923 and runs for ten
weeks. There will be courses in horticul-
tural botany, soils and fertilizers, nur-
sery practice and landscape construction;
also a course of special lectures by prac-
tical nurserymen. Applications for regis-
tration or for further information should
be addressed to Professor Frank A.
Waugh, Amherst, Massachusetts.

A Tree Lover's Gift

As a public benefactor, Robert O.
Morris, clerk of courts of Springfield,
Mass., recently displayed rare originality.
He donated a sum of money, not to a
hospital or charitable institution, but to
the trees. He has, through his generos-
ity, made it possible for the Springfield
Museum of Natural History to place
neat metal identification labels on the
city's trees, particularly the compara-
tively rare varieties.

To know the trees is not merely the
pleasure of the nature lover ; it is a part
of ordinary education. Now the people
of Springfield, especially the children,
will have an opportunity to know their
arboreal neighbors more intimately.

Such acts as this, tending to call popu-
lar attention to the trees and to culti-
vate a better knowledge of them, must
have a good effect on the esthetic sense
of the community.- — Collier's.

The Late Arthur B. Carrick

Full military honors marked the
funeral of Sergeant Arthur B. Carrick
of Seat Pleasant, Md., an employee of
Gude Bros. Co., and a veteran of the
World War, who was killed in an auto-
mobile accident on Oct. 8. (See obituary,
Oct. 14.)

Members of Stuart Walcott Post of the
District Department, American Legion, of
which the young man was an active mem-
ber, conducted the service. The funeral
ceremonies proper were held at the Seat
Pleasant Methodist Church, and the in-
terment was in the church cemetery, with
full military honors, the members of
Walcott Post of this city and others
representing Maryland posts participat-
ing. Post Commander Alexander M.
Bremer conducted the ritualistic cere-
monies of the legion, assisted by Com-
mander H. H. Rudolph of the Maryland
organizations.

The Botanical Garden

Efforts to secure an adequate site
for the Botanic Garden will be made
during the coming short session of Con-
gress by Representative John W. Langley
of Kentucky, chairman of the House Com-
mittee on Public Buildings and Grounds,
who has announced that he is soon to
introduce a bill to acquire a large tract
of land for the purpose. Conferences
have been held between Congressman Lang-
ley and George W. Hess, director of the
Botanic Garden, for the purpose of de-
termining a site for the proposed new
garden. Much of the ground which the
Kentucky congressman desires to acquire
is already owned by the Government.

Representative Langley's bill will pro-
vide for the acquirement of about eight
city blocks lying within the bend made
by 12 parcels of land along the site of
the old James st. Canal, which was re-
cently turned over to the Botanic Garden
-by Congress, thus allowing the improve-
ment of a sizable tract in one piece in-
stead of a narrow strip. This ground is
especially suitable for the purpose, ac-
cording to Director Hess, who declares
that some of the finest truck gardens in
the District are located in that section.

A New Organization

The American Horticultural Society
is the name given to. a new organization
formed in Washington recently, by a
group of men who are seeking an associ-
ation that will bring together the neigh-
borhood and community clubs that have
already been formed, and later to stretch
out so that the whole United States
would be covered by it. At the second
meeting of the society, held on Oct. 10,
at the New National Museum, a consti-
tution was adopted which provides for
five classes of membership. Active mem-
bers will pay dues of $3 per year, while
life membership will be $100. Persons
contributing $200 or more to the society
will be classed as patrons. Associate
members and those under 18 years of age
will pay $1 per year. Fellows will be
elected by the society in recognition of
valuable contributions to the horticultural
world or any of its allied branches. In
addition to the usual officers there will
be ten directors, who will form, with the
officers, the executive committee of the
society, and will have power to conduct
its business and carry out its policies.
Monthly meetings will be held, and it was
decided that the annual meeting shall
take place on the second Tuesday of Janu-
ary of each year.

A nominating committee, consisting of
V. E. Grotlisch, G. E. Anderson, Mrs.
L. H. Fowler, C. E. F. Gersdorff and Louis
Hertrile was appointed and instructed to
bring in a report at the next meeting of
the society, which will be held on Nov. 14.
The meeting was presided over by Dr.
Firman Mulford, who is acting as chair-
man of the society until an election of
officers can take place. Prominent among
those present were Dr. Tavlor, chief of
the Bureau of Plant Industry; Peter
Bisset, in charge of experimenters' serv-
ice, Bureau of Plant Industry; Professor
Lumsden, of the Royal (British) and
Massachusetts Horticultural Societies:
JJr. Corbett, head of Horticultural and
iomologieal Investigation at the Depart-
ment of Agriculture, and Louis Hertrile,
of Gnnston Hall, a prominent amateur.
Plants Interfere with Mails

Northern florists might be glad to
get a supply of Water Lilies or Hyacinths
without charge, but the Post Office De-
partment is receiving complaints that
these flowers are growing in such profu-
sion in Mississippi that they are impeding
the mails. Reports received from a star

route carrier in Mississippi, who is forced
to use a boat on a good part of his route,
state that Water Lilies and Hyacinths are
growing in such profusion that the water-
ways are all clogged up. It is probable
that the Department of Agriculture will
be called upon to suggest some way of
thinning the plants out so that the mails
in Mississippi may not be delayed.

[The Water Hyacinth, Eichornia cras-
sipes, is of little or no value as a com-
mercial flower, save for aquariums, etc.
For 20 years or more it has been threat-
ening to block the rivers in the South, and
while various methods of coping with it
have been reported, it wrould seem that
the Water Hyacinth, which floats with-
out anchorage, goes on extending. On
several occasions it has been reported that
the plants were being collected and pulped
by machinery for conversion into paper. —

A Battle of Giants

Granville Gude, local sculling champion,
is to meet Walter Hoover of Duluth,
Minn., world sculling titleholder, at a
match race on Friday, Oct. 20. The con-
test will take place on Lake Ponchartrain,
near New Orleans, and will be one of the
features of the athletic carnival to be
held in conjunction with the American
Legion Convention in the Louisiana me-
tropolis.

The Takoma Dahlia Show

The annual Dahlia show of the Takoma
Horticultural Club was held in the audi-
torium of the Library on Friday and
Saturday of Oct. 6 and 7. Our show far
surpassed all of the Dahlia shows that
have recently been held in and around
Washington city. Over 600 vases of
flowers were exhibited. In the majority
of cases the specimen of blooms were
particularly praiseworthy because of
their wonderful color harmony, perfec-
tion of form and good size. C. L. L.

The Market

Oct. 17. — Last week found the
market overloaded with all kinds and
conditions of flowers. The continued
warm spell has pushed the arrivals of
the under glass flowers, to such an ex-
tent that the market was top heavy.
About this time last season we were
having heavy frosts, that practically put
all outdoor flowers to the bad and the
Dahlia season was a thing of the past.
But this year has as yet brought no
frost and the arrivals are piling up to
the point where they cannot be han-
dled, much less be sold at a reasonable
price. Unless we have frost this week
will be worse than last.

Robert W. Johnston

President-elect.
Baltimore Florists' Club

Roses are in more than the usual sup-
ply. Short grade stock can be had at
3c. to 4c. medium at 5c. to Cc. and top
grade at from 10c. to 15c. Carnations
are heavy in supply and bring 2c. to 4c.
with fancy stock at 6e. The demand will
not carry the arrivals.

Chrysanthemums are rapidly becom-
ing the dominant feature in the market,
especially Early Frost, Oconto, Rich-
mond, and Marigold.

Much outdoor stock in early 'Mums
arrived on Monday, quality in general
being excellent. The top price is $4 per
doz. for fancy grade flowers. Lily ar-
rivals are more abundant and these are
moving.

The orchid and Valley demand on ac-
count of the many •weddings has been
good. Of the miscellaneous outdoor flow-
ers the arrivals continue heavy and many
cases are sold at bargain prices. Great
quantities of these flowers are consigned
to the can.

The arrival of Southern Asparagus has
been heavy ; the stock that is being
shipped by express packed with ice is
satisfactory, but many of the parcel post
shipments went to the bad. Laurel, Oak
foliage and outdoor greens are meeting
with considerable demand.
News Notes

L. L. Lancaster is the man that
has been sending to Sieck & Glick those
high grade Carnation blooms.

We greatly regret that the names of
the following men were omitted from

Wm. F. Bauer

Vice- President-elect,
Baltimore Florists' Club

our published list of the F. T. D. Recep-
tion Committee : Louis Eyer, James
Glass, W. E. McKissick, Michel Hil-
pert, and A. Reid Johnson.

Some extra special Snapdragon has
been arriving at W. E. McKissick's,
from Quick & Foster, of Roland Park.

Philip B. Welsh has started to ship
in' some very fancy Chrysanthemum
blooms to The S. S. Pennock Co.

The Carnation shipments from Schroe-
der Bros, are beginning to have the real
Winter look. Harvester, White Delight,
and White Wonder are the varieties.
W. E. McKissick is also handling a most
excellent crop of White Enchantress
from John W. Penn Sons.

Wm. G. Lehr's fancy Premier Roses
are the talk of the town.

Charlie Francis, of old Harford rd.,
has a big planting of outdoor Oconto
Chrysanthemums and has been cutting
flowers that grade up with the best.

It is to be hoped that every Rose
grower hereabouts saw the wonderful
new sorts exhibited in the F. T. D.
meeting room on Tuesday and Wednes-
day.

Chas. P. Raspe, of Hamilton ave., has
a flue cut of white Chrysanthemums go-
ing to The Baltimore Wholesale Flo-
rists and Supply Co.

Cousin Johnnie Rider is progressing
nicely at The Union Protestant In-
firmary. "Only a broken leg," says
John. "Otherwise I'm all right." Willie
Ekas sent him up a truckload of flowers
one day last week and John made the
hit of his young life, saying it with
flowers all over the hospital. Every
room and every ward was decorated. His
popularity has not been allowed to wane,
for Martin Lohr sent Roses three days
hand running and Mrs. Fred Bauer,
Young Bob Graham and a host of others
have been keeping up the great work.

Baltimore Florists Club

When the Baltimore Florists Club held
its regular monthly meeting on the 9th,
routine business, as far as possible, was
eliminated, because of the fact that fully
100 outoftown delegates in Baltimore for
the F. T. D. convention were in atten-
dance at the meeting. Practically the
only business transacted was that of
electing those who had been nominated at
the September meeting for the various
offices of the Club, the secretary record-
ing one ballot for all. Officers for the
ensuing year are as follows: President,

Robert W. Johnston; vice-president, Wm.
F. Bauer; recording secretary, Robert !
Tate Paterson; financial secretary, C. I
Harry Wagner; treasurer, Albert G. Fied-
ler; librarian, C. M. Wagner.

Among Massachusetts Growers

Needham

To tear down and give up a greenhouse
plant which a man has established in the
course of many years and to start and
build up an entirely new and thoroughly
modern establishment, is some sizable
job. To have the new place finished to
your heart's wishes so that you can take
delight in looking at it and make plans
for the future is a great satisfaction, but
then to be taken sick and stay sick for al-
most a year is something unusual and de-
cidedly disappointing. Paul Richwagen
of Needham did all these things and
calls himself lucky to be alive today and
fit as a fiddle. During his long and seri-
ous sickness, his three stalwart sons, Vic-
tor, Earl and Paul, had a chance to
show that they had learned a thing or
two from their father, but now the boss
is on the job again and has a great old
time.

Mr. Richwagen's place is quite an ex-
tensive one and caters to the wholesale
and retail trade. A handsome office
building, connected with an uptodate show
house on each side, displays an imposing
front on the main street, where the trol-
ley passes. The greenhouses are filled
with Carnations, Chrysanthemums, Callas,
Snapdragons, ferns, Begonias, bulb stock
and a hundred and one things needed on
such a place, all in fine condition.

Medfield

Where only five yeara ago a wide
stretch of land was covered with nothing
else but grass, bushes and trees, Peter
Pedrezini manages the Medfield Farm
and Greenhouse Co. Tractors and mod-
ern methods have transformed the old
farm of 512 acres into a regular garden
patch where, this year, some 2500 bushels
of Potatoes, 60 tons of Squash and all
the other garden "sass" is being har-
vested. Berries, too, and Corn. Bnt we
are more interested in the greenhouse
part of this establishment and here there
is plenty to admire. A new house is filled
with Carnations which are as good as
the best, having had all Summer out on
the rich farm. The house contains Be-
nora, Matchless, Ward, Laddie, Morning
Glow and Rosalia. Another house is
filled with Halliday, Chieftain and Bon-
naffon Chrysanthemums. A show house
of two sections holds a general assort-
ment of plants and flowers which come
handy for the important retail trade that
is carried on. Then there are good blocks
of Mignonette, Stevia, Geraniums, Be-
gonias, Snapdragons, Vipcas, Fudhsiasi
and Primulas of sorts. The frames are
filled with Cleveland Cherries, Daisies
and bulb stock. Asters and Gladioli are
planted on the farm in big lots, also many
other items.

To see Peter wandering over the broad
acres or squeezing through the walks in
the greenhouses (he is not much broader
than he is long) one would think he has
not a care in this world; always jolly
and ready for a pleasant word.

Ellis

To mention Peter Fisher makes one
think of Carnations; both are inseparable.
To the writer it seemed quite all right
to see the worthy originator of so many
of the best kinds of Carnations, busy at
a bench of seedlings. Take it from me,
he is at it again and, unless all signs fail,
the Carnation world may soon hear of ;
some new introductions from the Nestor
of Carnation growers. At any rate, he |
spoke confidently of the merits of this or
the other of several blocks of seedlings
that are undergoing trial for the second
or third year. A seedling has good hopes
to see the light of day when Peter Fisher
fondles it after the third or fourth year,
it surely must show marks of promise or
he would have bounced it long before.
There were one or two whites, the_ same
in red and some pink. But the writer ia
saying nothing. The large range is filled
almost completely with the commercial
varieties of Carnations,, iamong which
Maine Sunshine and Ethel Fisher are
prominent and look extra good. There
are also many benches of Chrysanthe-
mums and several of Godfrey Callas and
Sweet Peas.

John Barr has two hobbies and he
goes them the limit. One is to produce
the best Carnations that can be grown.
The other is to grow his pets in the neat-
est kept, whitest painted greenhouses in
these United States. There are just three
things that find room in his houses, name-
ly, benches, Carnation plants and heating
pipes. They look, inside and out, as if he
went through and over them with Dutch
cleanser and with a vacuum cleaner. What
is more, he says there is nothing that
pays better than to keep the houses clean.
Results prove it in his case. There is
little else to be mentioned about his es-
tablishment. Founded on the above prin-
ciples, it is certain to house the finest lot
of Carnations to be found anywhere. The
plants are simply grand, the finest a man
could wish to see. They prove that Mr.
Barr's theory of "give them plenty of
air" is the right one. Of course, _ his
plants do not have to beg to be wired
and strung, nor to be fed and watered
when they need it. George, the son, sees
to these details for, let me tell it, the
elder gentleman is taking it a little easy.
Just making the rounds and keeping a
weather eye open.

Mr. Barr is fortunate in having a large,
perfectly level piece of ground just out-
side the greenhouses where he grows the
young plants in the Summer. This piece
of land is large enough to keep part of
it in grass for two or three years before
using it again for Carnations. While the
writer was on the ground a big harvest
of second crop hay was being taken to
the barn. Mr. Barr grows nothing but
Carnations. One of the four large houses
is planted to Ward entirely; another
holds Matchless and Pink Delight. One
is filled with Beacon, Morning Glow,
Belle Washburn and Benora, and still

Bangor, Me.

The bulb situation is not much bet-
ter now than last reported. The stock is
very slow in arriving, and the demand
for them is equally as slow. It seems to
follow in line with the lack of proper
delivery. Proper advertising and mail-
ing of Fall price lists could not be made,
and very little has been done in the way
of interesting the public in the bulbs. G.
S. Seavey & Son have received their
shipment, which was sent by rail from
New York instead of boat, delaying the
arrival from that port at least five days,
the boat time for delivery being about
three days while it takes eight days by
rail. Many of the bulbs were a total
loss due to heating in transit or the long
time they were on the docks in New York
before being reshipped. Mrs. Allen, flo-
rist, reports that her supply of bulbs
arrived today, Oct. 12, by boat. So far
as they have been unpacked, the bulbs
are in good condition. R. B. Dunning &
Co., seedsmen, are still in doubt as to
where their bulbs are and have no idea
as to when they will show up or by what
route.

The deliveries of bulbs have been very
bad this year, the worst in years. It will
be too late for the successful handling
of any quantity of bulbs for counter or
mail order sales, and these late deliveries
and the poor condoition of the bulbs are
bound to bring heavy losses to the im-
porters.

The hot, dry spell has been followed by
cloudy and showery weather, ending yes-
terday in high winds and heavy raining.
It is clear today, and indications are in
favor of another spell of good weather.
The temperature remains high and asi yet
very little cold weather has been ex-
perienced.

A. E. Stantial, Belfast, Me., has re-
ceived his King house and is busy erect-
ing if. He will be ready to start in
early the coming year with a good line
of early flowering and bedding plants.

The Florists Exchange

Auburn, N. Y.

A steady increase in business indicates
that the florists buying season has begun.
Hardy Chrysanthemums are now the only
outdoor flower of consequence and there is
a corresponding increase in the call for
greenhouse flowers. Chrysanthemums are
in good demand. In the early varieties,
white, pink, yellow and bronze are of-
fered. Stock generally is of good quality.

W. B.

Albany, N. Y.

Now that real Autumn weather has
finally set in, the retail stores report an
ever increasing interest on the part of
the public in the wares of the florists'
shops and, from all indications, an excel-
lent season is at hand. Locally, there is
a greatly improved labor situation which,
of course, has resulted in increased de-
mand. Good stock is not plentiful and
seldom is at this time of year, but the
most pronounced shortage at this writing
is in Chrysanthemums. 'Mums have not
as yet reached their stride and we can-
not see any indication at present of any-
thing approaching an over-supply in this
line. The recent cool spell, together with
the overcast condition of the sky has
doubtless greatly retarded the develop-
ment of crops due at this particular time.

With regard to other stock, Roses
while none too numerous, may be had in
fair quality and quantity; Carnations
are still short in stem and modiocre in
quality. The remains of the garden
flowers perished in last week's frost and
are a thing of the past.

Design work has kept many of the
stores on the move and as far as we can
determine there is not much to complain
of in that direction.

The approaching flower show of the Al-
bany Florists Club is engrossing the at-
tention of the committee in charge who
hope to make this year's exhibition a
first class affair. We hope that suitable
quarters will be procured so that the
public, whom we are endeavoring to in-
terest, will have an opportunity to see
the display. J. S. H.

Lancaster, Pa.

Sundry Notes

Oct. 14. — Like the weather, the re-
tail business is changeable. With every
indication of an increasing business, along
comes a slump and a week of very light
trade is the result. But, as Walter Ham-
mond says, there are better weeks com-
ing; the 'Mums are here and the Dah-
lias are not yet frozen so let them all
come.

Chas. F. W. Durand has assumed
charge of the sales, designing and decor-
ating department of the B. F. Barr es-
tablishment and with his varied experi-
ence will bring a city atmosphere to an
inland flower shop.

Miss Carrie Steckman acted as judge
for the floral display at the York Fair,
and, as this display is always large and
varied, she had a hard day's work.

Mrs. Albert M. Herr acted as judge
of the floral part of the Harvest Home
held in Columbia, Pa., where a very cred-
itable exhibit was staged.

No Political Flowers of Speech

A very hotly contested election
coming off Nov. 7 is interfering with the
selling of flowers, as instead of saying it
with flowers they are saying it with mud.
The only consolation the florist has is that
after the mud is all washed off, there
will be a reaction and a desire for the
more beautiful things of life.

The Florists Association

Oct. 11, 1922, was a new date for
the meeting of the Lancaster County Flo-
rists Association, but the meeting had to
be set to suit the proper period in Corn
development at Elmer Weaver's and this
was the time. By Corn development I
do not mean Corn in fermentation but
Corn direct from the stalk and that it
was the proper time was shown by the
avidity that the thirty-odd members' went
into that pile of Corn about 6.30 p.m.
Mr. Weaver is a past master in the roast-
ing of Corn and Mrs. Weaver a real
Lancaster County cook when it comes to
"hot dogs" and delicious coffee.

The Weaver farm, too, is noted for its
fine Apples and fifty gallons of fresh
cider were on tap from a keg. The skill

with which it was tapped showed that
at least some of the party had had previ-
ous experience.

The card notice sent out was for 5.30
so that "those who wished could inspect
the greenhouses of the host and those of
his brothers adjoining, and a goodly
number took advantage of this. Starting
with the establishment of Chas. M.
Weaver we found a house formerly used
for Mignonette filled with a big variety
of Pompon Chrysanths., some of them
coming into bloom, and in the Sweet Pea
houses, a row of Pompons was planted
alongside of every Sweet Pea row. Those
who have seen these immense Sweet Pea
houses will realize the truth of the
statement that close to or over the mil-
lion mark would be the number planted.

In the Sweet Pea houses there are some
50 varieties of the new Burpee creations
being tried out and of the standard varie-
ties Mr. Weaver is cutting them by the
thousand daily with 12in. stems and they
are only beginning.

Outside they were harvesting Gladiolus
bulbs and there was no question here but
they were being brought in by the million,
and as fine bulbs as any one could wish
for, excepting that there were not quite
so many of the small bulblets with the
parent bulb as is usual. That a small
fortune is represented in the bulb storage
houses is shown by the fact that of one
variety that is quoted at over $200 per
thousand there are about 75,000 stored.
Mr. Weaver's entrance is a spot of beauty
for travelers along the Lincoln Highway
with his beds of Canna and Tuberous Be-
gonia in both of which he excels.

A Great Rose Establishment

Elmer Weaver, our host, is a Rose
grower, pure and simple, or perhaps
more properly speaking, pure and wise.
His houses of Pilgrim, Columbia and Pre-
mier are staged to produce Roses just as
he wants them with the main crop for the
December and January. One big house
of Pilgrim, now in its third year, shows
up better than ever and last year Rose
experts thought it a wonder. One house
of Pilgrim planted May and June of this
season is just a trifle behind the older
houses, but will make a crop of bloom this
Winter unless all signs fail that would
satisfy any Rose grower.

But the greatest attraction to Rose
growers on this immense establishment, is
the block of Commonwealth that is on
trial planted July 15, about two months
later than the rest of the house was
planted (the Pilgrim above mentioned)
and in every particular, about two months
ahead of the rest of the house, almost
ideal from every point of view as judged
by Rose growers, color included.

Elmer's. two sons, Paul and Lloyd, have
one house of Carnations principally Lassie,
Red Head, Red Matchless and Otello
grown for rooted cuttings and another
house with some 20 of the newer varie-
ties of Chrysanthemums grown for the
same purpose. The Mushroom houses
are just coming into crop; part of the
first crop was spoiled by the hot wave just
passed, but why worry when the man-
ure from these Mushroom houses pro-
duces the wonderful results shown on this
place both indoors and out.

After the inspection came the feed and
after the feed the meeting of the club.
Being disappointed in their speaker for
the evening, the members had a free for
all; elected one new member and ad-
journed for a social time. This social
time was pronounced one of the most de-
lightful ever held by the club and lasted
until when with a "hip hip hurrah"
for the host and hostess the party filed
into their machines and left for home.

A Visit to Waynesboro

Henry Eicholz of Waynesboro, Pa.,
has become .famous in the Carnation
world by the introduction of Lassie, Red
Head and Red Matchless and his place
is well worth a visit by any one looking
for a good red Carnation.

His new Otello is from Aviator and En-
chantress with the color of Aviator; the
most brilliant red and with the stiff, long
stems and clean growing habit of En-
chantress. There is a large stock of
Otello in the benches, all exceedingly
healthy and vigorous. One bench planted
inside in July was in full bloom with
12in. to 15in. stems, color up to Winter
standard. With the hot days we have had
it shows Otello to be an all year round
Carnation for the man who can use red
at any season of the year. A block of

plants in the field for experimentation,
produced fine flowers on good stems and
from ten to fifteen per plant.

The original seedling of this variety
three years old, shows conclusively as
do Red Matchless and Lassie's stock in
their third year, that the vitality of the
average Carnation is not exhausted in the
first year's forcing. Albert M. Here.

Pittsburgh, Pa.

The Market

Oct. 16. — Pittsburgh experienced
the first frost of the season last week,
which killed outdoor stock in some sec-
tions, but other sections were not touched
at all. It will be a good thing for the
business in general when all the outside
stock is gone, as there is still too much
of it hanging around.

Trade has been fair with an oversupply
of some items at the first part of the
week, but by Saturday night, everything
had cleaned up and the wholesalers' ice
boxes were empty.

The supply of Roses has shortened up
until there is not nearly enough to sup-
ply the demand and prices remain steady.
Carnations are improving in quality and
with the cooler weather, they should soon
be at their best. The supply of Lilies
still falls short of the demand and they
are bringing good prices.

This week should see a large supply
of 'Mums and the cut should be heavy
from now on; Pompons have not put in
an appearance as yet, but they should be
along soon. Dahlias are still a big fac-
tor in this market and large quantities of
them are being used.

The supply of orchids and Valley, while
not heavy, is still sufficient for all de-
mands; Delphinium and Gaillardia are
still to be had in small quantities.

News Notes

Ira Harper of the A. W. Smith
Flower Stores Co. and Ed. Ludwig of
the E. C. Ludwig Co. represented Pitts-
burgh at the F. T. D. Convention at Bal-
timore last week.

Pete Hopman of New Galillee, Pa., is
busy harvesting his crop of 'Mums, of
which he has a larger planting than ever
this year. The McCallum Co. handles his
entire cut.

Mr. Endres of New Philadelphia, O.;
Al. Barber of Cleveland; H. L. Thomp-
son of Rochester, Pa.; and Paul Klings-
porn, and C. G. Ellsworth of Chicago,

way home from Baltimore.

The E. C. Ludwig Co. put in the decora-
tion for the Cornell Banquet. The Cor-
nell colors of red and white were carried
out in the color scheme.

Randolph & McClements have executed
several large decorations lately and are
pretty well booked up for the Fall sea-
son. E. C. Tipton.

Trenton, N. J.

A wonderful record was that recently
made by the Brookville Blooms of Tren-
ton, N. J., H. W. West, grower, at the
Trenton Fair the last week in Septem-
ber, where they were awarded first prize
for the best general display, first prize for
best bouquet of 25 blooms; first prize for
best bouquet of 25 blooms in Autumn
tints.

At the Trenton Dahlia Society's Show,
held in the large ballroom of the Stacy-
Trent Hotel the previous week, Brookville
Blooms landed five firsts as follows: Ten
var. Straight or Incurved Cactus Dahlias;
10 var. Show or Hybrid Show Dahlias;
best collection of Pompon Dahlias; vase of
12 Decorative Dahlias, one variety; vase
of 12 Straight or Incurved Dahlias, one
variety. At the same show they also cap-
tured five seconds.

Toronto, Ont.

General News

Especially fine ferns are being de-
livered to Toronto florists, and are being
used effectively in window displays.

Oak leaves are being widely used for
sprays, and Cedars are being mingled
with palms in wedding decorations. 'Mums
and Dahlias of large size and good quality
are plentiful. Frost has helped to re-
move some of the garden flowers, so the
demand at the flower shops for table
bouquets is increasing.

G. H. Berkely, M. A., engaged in re-
search work of botany at Toronto Uni-

versity, has been offered the position of |
Dominion Plant Pathologist, with head-
quarters at St. Catherines, Ont. He is

of Queen's University.

The executive of the Royal Winter
Fair, after their meeting on Oct. 11, an-
nounced that they are working out a plan
for" a display in which flowers and fruit
will be intermingled The second floor of
the west wing of the Coliseum has been
reserved for flowers and fruit, the amount
of space allotted being the largest ever
set aside for a flower and fruit show in
Canada. All the leading horticulturists
of Ontario and several from other Prov-
inces have taken space.

Mr. Groves Still Preaching for the
Slogan

W. E. Groves, general manager of
John Connon Co., Ltd., addressed a big
gathering of West Toronto Kiwaniaus at
their regular luncheon, on Oct. 12. He
showed how "Say it with Flowers" was
the proper way to "say it." A Toronto
daily paper carried a headline, "Say it
with Furniture." "Say it with Gloves,""
was another slogan, and Mr. Groves hoped
they weren't boxing gloves. A truck in
Hamilton carried a sign, "Say it with
Brick." A southern hardware store ad-
vertised, "Say it with a Knife," but the
"say it' 'that touched life at every point i
was "Say it with Flowers." His speech
was well received.

Speaking in Montreal, Mr. Groves re-
ferred to the more contented feeling of
workmen where the grounds were beauti-
fully laid out, and a Montreal paper,
commenting on the address, said: "If a
man wants a raise, give him a Rosebud.""

The Hamilton jailer later informed Mr.
Groves that it was the rarest occurrence
for professional floristsr to commit crime.
Mr. Groves also made reference to the
F. T. D. and the method of sending flow-
ers to any part of the world. G. C. K.

Trade Notes

The dark murky weather we had
the beginning of October caused partly
by the forest fires in northern Ontario,
had the effect of a smaller production in
cut flowers from the local growers, hence
a rise in prices. At the time of writing,
Oct. 15, a break is expected almost daily.

ceptionally large of late

Campbells have secured the services of
W. S. Crewson, late of Smith & Fetters

ily. We wish him success.

Florists Meeting

At the monthly meeting of the
Montreal Gardeners & Florists Club, held
Wednesday of last week, James McKenna
gave a talk on his western trip with the
board of trade delegation. The members
had a very enjoyable hour listening to
Mr. McKenna's discourse. He said that
arriving at Victoria, B. C, our old
friend George Robinson and wife were
waiting on the quay to give them a wel-
come. George is making good progress,
as a seed grower. The firm specializes in
the growing of Sweet Peas for seed pur-
poses. Mr. McKenna said it was a won-
derful trip.

A hearty vote of thanks was accorded
James for his discourse.

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

Jrges Retaliation

A writer in the Horticultural Trade
Journal mentions that many Americans
,-isiting England this year, have been
nore than sore because they could not
nrder the many rare or new plants seen
n their travels. The scribe remarks that
while the size of the export trade of
plants to America was as small, com-
paratively speaking, as the pm that holds
the driving wheel on a railroad engine,
yet it served its purpose in aiding the
machinery. The blasting effect of Qu. 37
on British trade is more indirect than
direct; it has resulted in a flood of all
kinds of stock from the continent, not
only of plants, but of food produce, many
continental plant growers who used to
produce stock for American export hav-
ing gone into Tomatoes, Grape and other
production. The British trade is there-
Fore up against a tough proposition, and
it is not therefore surprising that the
writer referred to expresses the view that
since U. S. A. will not permit the more
or less modest imports, which naturally
are not of the cneap order — wages in
Great Britain are fully double pre-war —
it is time to consider why American seeds
should have free entry into the British

It's very unlikely that the free trade
system of England will ever be abandoned,
but America has no monopoly rights in
barring out unwanted goods. It goes
without saying that bootlegging American
seeds into England would never pay any-
one, more particularly because supplies
from elsewhere are always available.

Iris Tingitana

Here you are, sound flowering bulbs of
this valuable Iris $8 per 1000. Sounds
good, eh? but don't get excited, the offer
is made to the English trade by a Hol-
land concern.

And here's another: Double nosed King
Alfred Daffs. at $15 per 1000, round bulbs
$10. This offer is by an English i house,
but the bulbs are probably Holland grown.
How's it done? Ask me another.

Taking the Count

Reference was made on page 1021 of
an exhibitor who was! disqualified for
setting up 13 kinds of vegetables in a
class calling for 12.

Reminds me of the early days of the
National Sweet Pea Society in London.
If I remember rightly, it was 1901 or
1905 when Sutton & Sons offered a cup
for 19 vases representing the color classifi-
cation. There were 19 entries and 18
were disqualified, myself among them,
for having either more or less than the
stipulated 20 stems to a vase. The late
W. Atlee Burpee was one of the judges,
and he thought it a tough proposition that
he should have traveled thousands of miles
for the purpose of teaching fellows how
to count. That disaster brought about a
change in the rules, about 20 stems in-
stead: of a definite number, being insti-
tuted.

Outdoor 'Mums

Nothing wrong with this season for out-
door 'Mums. A lot of the stock that has
come into the markets from mid-Septem-
ber on, could have been grown in the
open ground with sashes above to protect
the flowers. Particularly does this ap-
ply to the spray varieties erroneously
called Pompons. Pompons are a natural-
ly small type, button shaped and, with
the exception of Doty class, are not
greatly benefited by disbudding. The early
flowering 'Mums, including the singles, are
a distinct branch of the family and owe
their origin to French raisers. The
earliest of them, such as Marie Masse and
its sports, Roi de Blanc, etc., which in
Europe may bloom as early as July and
are all through before September is out,
are not usually much good in this sec-
tion, but there are others of both Euro-
pean and American origin which start in
September or October and do fine.

Grown naturally, they yield heavy
sprays of smallish flowers, but when par-
tially or heavily disbudded, they are a
veritable delight. Normandie comes quite
large when disbudded, but it has none
of the charming blush tints it shows in
Europe, so I'll have no more of it. But
Cranford White, Fee Parisian, pink;
Chas. Jolly, pink; Excelsior, bronze sin-
gle; Charlotte Waite, pink single; La

Loranne and A. Barham have, among
others, come topping. The first began to
bloom in mid-September and partially dis-
budded the plant produced about 40
blooms over 3in. The others were not
in flower until ten days or so later, but on
Oct. 14 these flowers were in such
grand shape that nothing would satisfy
the missus but my lifting and potting
some of the plants for decorating indoors.
That's how it comes about that we have
an extra show just now. Chrysanths are
awfully good natured plants.

Now if only that new French early
white Blanche du Poitou were available
we might even do better than Cranford
white. I might mention that some sorts
of outdoor 'Mums are pretty much
prone to leaf blight; the Doty family
among them. My favorite for mid-Oc-
tober is the single Charlotte Waite, 5in.
flowers with little disbudding and large
healthy foliage.

The Multitool

It is generally conceded that word ad-
vertising will not always accomplish the
desired results. Take the introductory
ads of the Multitool — they have not yet
been submitted to the presiding genius of
the F. E. ad department for revision —
they did not and probably never will show
the seedsman why he should stock this
tool nor explain to the gardener or the
field worker why he should possess one or
more of them. Why? Apart from the
fact that they seem to claim too much,
I can't venture to explain; I only know
that those ads did not awaken 10c. worth
of interest in me, because they failed to
show me how and why the Multitool is
better than any hand hoe or cultivator
ever made before. In my time I have
used all kinds of hand hoes, including
swan necked draw hoes, Dutch hoes, War-
rens, Foster-Melliars, Canterburys, etc.,
besides cultivators. The wheel hoes are
good in their place, but they cannot dis-
place the hand hoe, nor can the hand cul-
tivator, because they do not cut out weeds.
When I saw the Multitool at the New
York Dahlia Show, one glance at the
method of manipulation convinced me
that all my Dutch and draw hoes as well
as the prong cultivator were doomed to
go rusty for want of work. Yes, sirs; I
ordered a Multitool right then and there,
and, let me tell you, it was sent through
the mails C. O. D., so I didn't even have
a tryout. But need I say more? The
Multitool is the most ingenious, yet prac-
tical, hand hoe ever devised; it provides
a set of five double edged hoes, each edge
distinct from the other and the sides
of some can be used also. The hoes can
be set at the angle one desires, deep or
shallow and no weeds can get by the teeth.
Being late in the season, I have had little
need to use it except between the Pansies,
but I may mention that one big Gladiolus
grower assures me that if no. others were
available, he would not sell his Multitool
for $25.

I believe a man named Willard of
Lansing, Mich., invented it; he also has
more brains than I anyway, although
maybe he may be no great shakes on
horticulture.

Years ago we used to packet Sweet
Pea novelties by actually counting the
seeds. One day an old "joint" walked in
and after watching us, said he'd see what
he could do to hurry things. Two days
later he came back with a rough scoop
with a spring in the handle which counted
the seeds accurately. After being perfect-
ed it was more or less generally used by
Sweet Pea specialists. Needless to say
the inventor knew nothing about seeds.

Meeting." Here, I thought, we have a
new organization of nursery managers,
but when I read that a lady was the
president and that the chairman of the
wardrobe committee had collected a good
stock of garments made by members and
friends, and that the only thing needed at
the nursery was a> chest of drawers, I
realized I was off the line somewhat.

A Good Point

It may be good business for a nur-
seryman to consider the use of a special
material for wrapping the balls of trees
and shrubs, instead of ordinary burlap,
but it certainly is a telling point the
Angier Corporation puts forward on be-
half of Grizzlybear wrapping when they
ask: "What about your automobile
trade?" People do get about in autos
and they are usually eager to carry away
the things they desire rather than await
shipment.

Therefore, a wrapper that will not only
keep the soil intact but also prevent any
moisture working through is worthy of
attention from all who cater to the home
demand for freshly dug stock.

Oct. 14.— The market
week has been a trying one
wholesalers. Stock in all lines has been
very scarce. It was the wholesaler's
innings ; from everywhere came a de-

Roses were scarce ; shorts were quoted
at 6c. Carnations were quoted at 3e.
and 4c. and early in the morning, the
wholesalers'- counters were cleaned up.
'Mums were quoted at $1.50 to '$(5 per
doz. aud extra fancy stock were quoted
at $7.50. Cosmos was quoted at 50c. to
$1 per 100; orchids, $1.50 to $2 each.
Dahlias cleaned up at $1 to $4 per doz.
Greens are selling well, ferns being
scarce. Lilies at 20c. to 25c. apiece.

The outlook for coming week is good.
In about ten days the Chrysanthemums
will increase in supply and with a con-
tinuance of bright weather, the market
will ease up a little. The supply of
Roses and Carnations will increase also.

News Notes

The body of the late Adolph Brix,
who died in Europe recently, has arrived

and tickets at $3 a plate will be issued
to all florists desiring to attend. It was
stated that all show committees were
hard at work and that St. Louis would
put up a show that would be worthy of
the city. Liberal premiums will attract
outside florists who desire to exhibit.

A rising vote of thanks was given to
Mr. and Mrs. Goebel for their entertain-
ment— a fine lunch — and after three
hearty cheers led by Frank Fillmore, the
meeting adjourned. The members visited
the greenhouses and found everything in
splendid condition. C. W. W.

St. Louis Florist Club

The club held its last outdoor

Our esteemed contemporary, Southern Florist, saw
so much of interest in the several installments of
Gustave Thommen's Southward Ho, that it repro-
duced them in their entirety.

Carl Engelniann's business Is apparently in good
hands while he is visiting old friends in the United
States ; as reported elsewhere, his display of Carna-
tions at the great R. H. S. Fall Show in London, was
granted the highest award for Carnations.

Perhaps you have already received a request for
some sort of cooperation from the compilers of the
forthcoming S. A. P. and 0. H. Annual for 1923. We
are advised that questionnaires are going out to horti-
cultural organizations and institutions and to mem-
bers of all branches of the trade throughout the
country, as the first step in the preparation of this
new Tear Book that is so rich in promise. It shouli'
be unnecessary to point out that the success of such
a publication, and its value to the society that spon-
sors it, no less than the thousands of individuals for
whom it is made, will depend directly and very largely
upon the nature and dimensions of the response to
all such calls for assistance and information.

Here is a project that measures up in importance
and possibilities to anything the S. A. F. and O. II.
has ever attempted and put across. Let it be car-
ried forward in the same wholehearted manner and
with the same united, determined, upward looking
spirit that has brought the national organization to
the noble position it occupies.

The Business Meeting and Its Purpose

Again success has spread its mantle over the de-
liberations of the F. T. D. Association, and again
that organization stands forth fully justified in its
interpretation of what its annual gathering should be
and how it should be conducted.

The affair at Baltimore was, indeed, a business
meeting, first, last and all the time. That does not
mean that it was devoid of occasional relaxations or
of opportunities for friendly human contact — any
more than business life at any time need exclude the
little amenities of our existence. But it was obvious
to even the most casual observer, the most transient
visitor, that each session was called to order with
the fundamental and all important object of discuss-
ing certain problems and accomplishing certain defi-
nite results. And with its work thus carefully out-
lined and its members to the very last one imbued
with a sense of responsibility and determination,
what more natural than that the association could
look back, at midnight on Wednesday, upon a wholiy
and triumphantly completed program?

What more natural, too, than that the members
could then enjoy the following day's entertainment —
provided for not by the association, but by the Balti-
more hosts — with free minds and easy consciences
well bolstered by the knowledge of work well done'?

Similarly in connection with the trade exhibits
which the F. T. D. A. has consistently refused to
regard as an essential feature of its yearly gathering.
They were there, a few of them, on one or two of the
upper stories of the hotel, but in neither such num-
ber or such position as to detract the attention of any
member during the hours the association was in ses-
sion.

There, in short, is the apparent creed of this re-
markably progressive, energetic and productive body
of tradesmen and women : To hold a business meet-
ing at which three things and three things only will
be paramount. First, the re-creation and intensifica-
tion of the F. T. D. spirit ; second, the solution of
problems and the enactment of business looking to
the welfare of the organization, the industry it rep-
resents and the individuals that compose it; and,
third, the welding of those members into a more
compact, mutually helpful, mutually regardful body
that shall maintain higher standards of trade ethics
and attain nobler heights of human service.

Few of us dare hope for 100 per cent attainment
of our aims. But is there anyone who witnessed any
part of last week's meeting in Baltimore, who will
deny that the F. T. D. comes close, remarkably and
enviably close, to the full accomplishment of its
worthy endeavors.

Oil Heating on the Pacific Coast

Our good friend, Peter D. Barnhart, of Los An-
geles, writes us entertainingly, and at the same time
interestingly, on the question of oil heating, saying
that he has been somewhat surprised at the discus-
sion going on in our columns as to the use of oil for
greenhouse heating. He says there is not a green-
house establishment on the Pacific Coast that would
use coal were it given away to them. Then he pro
ceeds to tell us of a few of the big men who are using
oil. For instance. Walter Armacost has never used
anything but oil to heat his large range of houses ;
Roy F. Wilcox uses it in his great establishment.
MacRorie & McClellan is another concern that has
always used oil. Then the public utilities corpora-
tions have always used it in the generation of elec-
tric energy when they have to supplement the hydro-
electric power houses.

As for the devices for vaporizing heavy oil : These
are numerous indeed. Some of them are quite sim-
ple, others just the reverse ; yet many of the sim-
ple contrivances have given as much satisfaction as
the more elaborate designs.

Where it is possible to locate the oil reserve on a
hillside, the gravity flow obviates the necessity of a
force feed.

Speaking of the advantages of the use of oil, Mr.
Barnhart reiterates these, just as The Exchange has
often done of late : No ashes to shovel and wheel out ;
no stoking of the furnace — light your burner, adjust
the flame to suit the temperature desired, and that
is all there is to it. "As handy as a pocket in a shirt ;
as simple as rolling off a log."

sense — were shown that this comparative innovation
holds for them the possibilities of greater profits,
they would at least be interested to the point of in-
vestigating. Strangely enough, this inertia may be
seen in large as well as small growers.

Clearly, then, what is needed is a missionary, a
go-between, a moderator or introducer to bring to-
gether these two groups who can so perfectly serve
one another and promote one another's welfare. The
oil burner proposition needs an interpreter ; the flo-
rist industry needs a champion to emphasize its im-
portance and financial standing.

So far as it can The Exchange has attempted and
will keep on attempting to fill this role. But, frankly,
it calls for individual disciples, human teachers in
many sections, whether working on their own account
or for some organization of interests.

Who can see the obvious solution?

This Way Out. — "Have you an opening for a bright, ener-
getic college graduate?" "Yes, and don't slam it on your way
out." — Medley.

Wanted — A Missionary

Can you imagine yourself walking down a street
in which no business to speak of is being done al-
though one side is lined with dealers well supplied
with produce while the other is crowded with poten-
tial purchasers who need what the others have to
offer and who are well able to pay for it?

Neither can we — and yet that is just about the
situation that exists over large sections of the coun-
try where florists might be and, to their own interest,
should be, learning about the possibilities of oil heat-
ing for greenhouses.

The reason? There are two. First the manufac-
turers of and dealers in oil burning equipment and
the oil supply corporations seem in general indiffer
ent to the possibilities of the florist industry as a
market. They appear to be making no special effort
to arouse the interest of greenhouse men, to satisfy
such curiosity as exists, or to secure the business that
such interest and curiosity might easily lead to. Of
course no single grower will compare with an ocean
steamship or a great hotel as ■ a consumer of fuel
oil ; nevertheless, the fact that each year sees the
sale of something like $75,000,000 worth of flowers
and plants which have been raised in glass struc-
tures that must be heated, either by coal or some-
thing, ought to have some significance and hold some
promise for these presumably forward looking busi-
ness men.

The second reason — and a corollary of the first —
is that the great majority of florist growers are as
yet blind to the real facts about oil and its utilization
and, apparently, quite happy and content in their
blindness. Sometimes it is the thought of the com-
paratively high first cost of installation that deters
them ; sometimes it is prejudice aroused by the criti-
cism of someone who has had some unfortunate ex-
perience (a single case out of hundreds, perhaps) ;
sometimes it is just plain conservatism and the fear
of something new and different. In the main, how-
ever, it is simply a lack of knowledge concerning the
burning of oil, the reliability of a supply and similar
details. It stands to reason that if these men — who
in other ways have shown their acumen and business

Sometimes an organization gets so big and progres-
sive that those not actually members begin to view!
it as a thing apart from and unrelated to their inter-
ests. Lest some might be inclined to view the F. T.
D. in this light, it may well be recalled that the sev-
eral million dollars' worth of business done by its
members is not the activity of a closed corporation.
It means the handling of vast masses of stock that
has to be grown by someone — in houses that have
to be built by someone, with fertilizers, tools and
other items of equipment that have to be supplied
by someone — and so on down the line. In other
words, we're all in the flower business, whether we
write F. T. D., S. A. F. and O. H., A. C. S., N. i}.,
A., or whatever may be, after our names. And what's
good for one is good for all — and vice versa.

The Public Speaking Through the Press

Baltimore's hospitality in connection with the
F. T. D. meeting expressed itself through actions that
renders words unnecessary. Yet there were plenty of
the latter as well. The nature of the official and un-
official welcomes extended by the mayor and others
have already been suggested in our story of the meet-
ing. The following editorial from the Baltimore Even-
ing Sun of Wednesday, Oct. 11, is a further proof that
the hosts apparently had just as good a time as the
guests — and that was "some time:"

We Have With Us Florists

We should like to "Say it with Flowers," of rhetoric
at least, how glad we are to welcome the florists to our-
city, but that would be supererogation, we feel sure,
after his Honor performed that pleasing duty yesterday.

Flowers to city dwellers are one of the esthetic
luxuries iof life, and it would be difficult to estimate
the cultural uplift and the pleasure which the florists
provide us. They sometimes come high, but we must
have them. And now the uptodate chaps are arranging
to make it possible for the fellow who wants to send
his girl in London or Paris a bouquet for dinner to step
into a shop here an hour or so before and the girl gets
the posies on time. Up-to-the-minute boys are these
florists. We are glad to have them with us.

Oscar P. Beckley, The Man and His Work

Mr. Beckley has undoubtedly done more than any-
one else in the world to help tell the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth about the products ol
nursery and seed businesses. He came on the seem
just at the time the photographers began to get out-
doors. His predecessor in outdoor photography was
Lindell Hallock, who took pictures in the arbore-
tum of Chas. A. Dana, the famous editor of tb>
New York Sun for Wm. Falconer, then Mr. Dana's
gardener and editor of Gardening.

Nurserymen and seedsmen will remember the exag-
gerated wood cuts previous to 189S. About that time
the J. Horace McFarland Co. was printing catalog:
for many nurseries and seedsmen, but- very few photo
graphs of the products of these firms were availablf
because the village photographers would not get awaj
from their skylights and cast iron clamps, while th<
itinerant photographer usually took only the horse
the house and groups of school children.

Mr. McFarland said he had found a man in th<
composing room working overtime to work out prob-
lems in type setting who, he believed, would make i
good photographer.

Thereupon Mr. Beckley started out with the great
est possible enthusiasm, industry, tact, modesty ant
honesty to do all within his power for the nursery
men and seedsmen. If sunrise or sunset gave thi
best light, he was there. If the morning dew madi
the spider webs conspicuous he would sweep then
off. If a long trip with a slow horse necessitatet
changing plates at 11 p.m., to be ready for sunrisi
work he would accept it without complaint. Mr
Beckley fully grasped the knack of making soft land
scapes.

The mecca of landscape and materials for land
scape at that time was Boston and the Arnold Ar
boretum where Prof. Sargent gave Mr. Beckley ever;
facility as well as on his private estate and the mag
nificent gardens in the vicinity. Harlan P. Kelse;

The Florists Exchange

1079

As a citizen of Harrisburg Mr. Beckley gave largely
of his time and efforts in church, Sunday School and
community welfare work. Thus far his son, Park
Beckley, has followed in his footsteps to the extent
of studying horticulture at Cornell University and
the Massachusetts Agricultural College. .

A fitting memorial to Mr. Beckley would be a de-
termination to carry on his ideas to make America
a better place to live in, more fruitful and more
beautiful.

Virgil Bogue

Virgil Bogue, aged 71, well-known nurseryman of
Albion, N. Y.. died at the Homeopathic Hospital,
where he had undergone an operation, on Oct. 6.

Mr. Bogue and his wife, Mrs. Alice R. Mclntyre
Bogue, whose death occurred in 1911, founded the
association to be known as The Virgil Bogue Home
for Dependent Children, to be established in Albion
after the death of Mr. Bogue. For this purpose they
jointly gave their orchard farm of 22 acres in Claren-

The late Oscar P. Beckley

used to pull down the top of his desk over a pile of
unanswered correspondence and go out with Mr. Beck-
ley, who later got a Stanley steamer automobile, so
as to be on the job when the flower and the light
were right. For two years it was almost impossible
for the nurserymen and seedsmen to pull him away
from Boston.

The great difficulty in the utilization of the picture-,
he took was that those wmo made them did not wrive
or dictate the story at the time so as to show the re-
Suits aimed for and the process by which it was at-
tained; nor did they illustrate them with sketches or
other photographs so that all might get full value.

Mr. Beckley traveled widely, spending many months
at various nurseries and on the Biltmore estate where
the late Geo. W. Vanderbilt was developing with the
aid of Gifford Piuchot, a great economic forest, and
with the aid of Olmsted Bros., and Mr. Beadle, one
of the finest nurseries in the country. The Biltmoie
Nursery catalog will long remain an example of the
best type of illustration, superior even to the work
of England, France, Germany or Japan.

It was perhaps in the South that Mr. Beckley' s
photographs lead the way towards the best catalogs,
as in those of the nurseries of P. J. Berckmans Co.,
Augusta, Ga., the J. Van Lindley Co., Pomona, N. C.
the Glen St. Mary Nurseries, and others in Florida,
and the establishment of Harlan P. Kelsey, Pinola.
N. C.

I will leave it to the seedsmen to tell of the hun-
dreds of thousands of home gardens that Mr. Beckley
helped to develop. Wherever he went he was a wel-
come guest.

After developing and organizing the photographic
department of the Mt. Pleasant Printery, Mr. Beck-
ley began to help nurserymen and seedsmen get their
material ready for the printer. He went out, too, as
a representative ou the difficult task of prying loose
from them the required manuscript and of selecting
the pictures for use in their literature. His accurate
knowledge of the ideals of each client, of the needs of
his trade, and of the best possible presentation of the
product, rapidly developed a new and better type of
nursery and seed catalogs.

When the American Nurserymen's Association de-
cided to put on a Market Development Campaign,
Mr. Beckley helped prepare its two booklets, "Home
Grounds.'' by L. II. Bailey, and "Fruits for Home
Grounds," by U. P. Hedrick. Had he continued in
this work, and had it received the support of the
nurseries, there would probably have been prepared
a series fitted to various regions and all classes of
planters, for Mr. Beckley had the ability to draw out
from each nurserymen and seedsman his best but
indefinite ideas and put them in concrete shape.

When Mr. Beckley saw an advertisement of land
containing the finest Oaks in Dauphin County, Pa.,
he bought the land, started a nursery, and encour-
aged the development of a suburban colony and
country club. In Harrisburg he established a flower
store and landscape service, organizing branches in
Ohio and Kentucky.

For many years he attended the conventions of
the florists, nurserymen and seedsmen, exhibiting
photographs and catalogs.

don rd., and also made financial provision for cann-
ing out their plans after their death.

The funeral services were held Oct. 8. He is sur-
vived by one brother, Duane Bogue of Batavia.

Herbert F. Calder

Herbert F. Calder, of Norwood, Mass., died at the
age of 42, at his home, Oct. 8 and was buried Oct. 11.

The deceased managed a wholesale florist busi-
ness for many years, being well known as a success-
ful grower of Chrysanthemums, Carnations, Sweet
Peas and Violets and highly esteemed by his brother
florists. During the last eight years he was a victim
of locomotor ataxia, the pains and afflictions of which
dreadful disease he bore with splendid courage and
resignation. He leaves a wife and mother.

Many of his florist friends and of his business asso-
ciates in the Boston wholesale flower markets at-
tended the funeral and sent beautiful floral offerings.

Oscar P. Beckley

Oscar P. Beckley, expert photographer, Nature
lover, humanitarian, church worker and president of
the Berryhill Nursery Co., died at his home in Oak
Park Colony just outside Harrisburg, Pa., on Oct. 10.
at the age of 42. His death followed a breakdown
that occurred last Spring and of which the results
were aggravated by his refusal to cease his various
labors and civic activities despite the advice of his
physicians.

Funeral services were held at his home on Tuesday
evening, Oct. 17, and again at the Derry St. United
Brethren Church on Oct. 18. Burial was in the Pax-
tang Cemetery. Mr. Beckley is survived by his
widow; three children, Park, Lucille and Oscar P.,
Jr.; his mother, Mrs. Frank B. Hamilton, and a step-
brother, Emery Hamilton, who is superintendent if
the Springfield (O.) branch of the Berryhill Nur-
series.

In addition to Mr. Beckley's accomplishments in
the line of horticultural photography which is com-
mented on elsewhere, and his nursery activities which
took the form of the organization of the Berryhill
Co. with nurseries in Harrisburg, Pa., Springfield, O.,
and Sparta, Ivy., his indefatigable efforts in connec-
tion with church, Y. M. C. A. and Sunday School work
took much of his time and won him the high esteem
and respect of all who knew him. He was also an
ardent worker in all movements aiming at the ad-
vancement and beautification of Harrisburg and its
environment.

Mrs. George H. Pieper

With deep regret we announce the passing away
of Mrs. George H. Pieper (nee Margareth M. Walsh I
of South Boston, who died after an illness of two
years, at her residence, 398 Broadway. South Boston,
on Oct. 5. Next to Mrs. Ellen M. Gill, of Medford,
who died three years ago, Mrs. Pieper was the oldest
commercial lady florist in Boston and vicinity. She
was born in Ireland in 1S72 and came to America in
1885. In 1S90 she started a small flower store at
39S Broadway, South Boston, and was a welcome and
steady buyer of flowers at the old flower market
which was situated in the basement of the old Horti-
cultural Hall on Tremont st. In 1S95 she was mar-
ried to George H. Pieper and with him, formed the
firm of George H. Pieper & Co. as it exists today.
The firm soon moved to the present location at 45H
Broadway, South Boston, and Mrs. Pieper managed
to find time to assist her husband in the store while
at the same time attending to her duties as mother
of a large family, regarding her work among flowers
as a special privilege and pleasure.

The funeral took place, from her home, on Oct. 9
with a large attendance from relatives, friends and
business associates and a generous offering of beau-
tiful floral tokens ; the interment was in St. Joseph's
Cemetery, West Roxbury.

The deceased was greatly beloved by all who knew
her, for her motherly, kind and sympathetic nature,
Christian spirit and fair business dealings.

A husband, five boys and two girls are left to
mourn her loss. G. Th.

Paul Pierre Dailledouze

Paul Pierre Dailledouze, died suddenly Friday,
Oct. 13, about noon, at his home, Lenox rd. and Troy
ave., Brooklyn, N. Y., his death being brought about
by a hemorrhage of the intestines and his illness
lasting but one day. Funeral services were held on
Monday, Oct. 16, at 2 p.m. at his home. They were
conducted by the Rev. J. Frederic Berg, pastor of the
Flatbush Dutch Reformed Church, in which severaL
generations of the family have held memberships.
Interment was at Evergreen Cemetery.

Mr. Dailledouze was born in Brooklyn in 1861, the
twin brother of Henry, and the son of John and
Catherine Dailledouze. He took up the study of flow-
ers from his earliest youth. Following the death of
his father he went into partnership with his brothers,
and the fame of their flowers spread all over the
world.

John, the father of Paul Dailledouze, was a member
of the firm of Dailledouze, Zeller & Gard, and with
his two associates was among the very first florists
in Brooklyn. In the early days this house made a
great reputation in growing the Carnation as it is
known today, and one of the most recent introductions
of the present firm of Dailledouze Brothers was En-
chantress Supreme, a variety which captured many
prizes.

The twin brothers, Paul and Henry, retired from
active business in 1907 and became great travelers.
The twins were noted for their devotion to each
other, showing a unity of spirit and singleness ,of
purpose seldom to be found among brothers. In 1912
they went to England to visit the great International
Flower Show at Chelsea, London. They joined sev-
eral of the tours conducted by the Brooklyn Daily
Eagle. They had planned to go on the Eagle tour of
South America this Summer, but the serious illness
of their brother Eugene prevented them.

Paul Dailledouze was a member of the New York
Florists Club, Society of American Florists, American
Carnation Society, Orchid Society, Chrysanthemum
Society of America and the Marine and Field Club.
He was unmarried and is survived by two brothers,
Eugene and his twin, Henry E.. also by two sisters,
Mrs. Leoni L. Wartn and Mrs. Mathilde R Kunz.

F. T. D. A. Meeting

(Continued from page 1053)

An interesting discussion of the action a F. T. D.
member should "take with regard to orders sent him
bv non-members brought out some interesting experi-
ences including one most humorously recounted bj
George Geraghty of Canada. It appeared to be the
sense of those most closely associated with this prob-
lem that nothing definite can be advised as a solu-
tion of this difficulty, but that each member must use
his best judgment in each individual case.

After a little discussion regarding the F. T: D.
Weekly, the association voted unanimously in favor
of continuing this publication and its price lists.

Thanks to" Charles F. Feast who had arranged for
the serving of ginger ale to all in the room, it was
now possible to respond vociferously to toasts pro-
posed by President Breitmeyer. The first was to
Max Schling, who had taken an energetic part in
various discussions during the evening: the second
to Mr Feast for his hospitality and thoughtfulness;
and the third to all the good FT. D. friends hr Balti-
more who. Mr. Breitmeyer hoped, would not fail to
gather -with the association upon the occasion of its
1923 meeting in St. Louis.

Thursday, The Social Day

With all the business phases of the F. T. D. meeting
at an end on Wednesday night, Thursday was given
over unstintingly to the entertainment of the out-of-
town delegates by the local trade.

At 10.30 a.m. under clear blue skies, with an Oc-
tober tang in the air, the crowd was mustered to-
gether outside the Emerson Hotel, and with perfect
arrangements prevailing, 4S automobiles and two
sightseeing cars, accommodating in all a party 250
to 300 strong, were loaded up to capacity for what
proved a most enjoyable ride through Baltimore's
beautiful suburbs. .

The first clear view of the entire party was had
at Druid Hill Park, a drive around the lake reveal-
ing from all points the steady stream of cars con-
taining as jovial a crowd of sightseers as ever as-
sembled together.

Continuing, the party drove through Weymans
Park with its rolling country and magnificent trees.
A short ride beyond the park, and it reached the
establishment of Isaac H. Moss, Inc. Here, great in-
terest was manifested in the variety of plants shown
under glass and outside. Mr. Moss has a well kept
place of which he is justly proud and his pleasure at
the opportunity of having the delegates view it was
evident.

Boarding the cars again, the party was soon em-
barked on a ride through the Towson Nurseries;
then, on to Akehurst, Inc., where, after a survey of
the establishment, lunch was served in the open.
Stepping up to a table filled with appetizing food,
and taking it away to eat it under trees and in other
inviting places, gave the outing a fitting picnic atmos-
phere. After justice had been done to the food served
the crowd was assembled and a panoramic picture
taken of the group. But previous to the snapping
of the picture. Charles Le Viness, Jr., on behalf of
Akehurst, Inc.. expressed the firm's gratitude at hav-
ing been given the privilege of entertaining the mem-
bers of the F. T. D.

With little delay the party was again on the road,
this time to White Marsh, Md., where the nationally
known Vincent establishment was visited. While all

The F. T. D. A. gathering in Emerson Hotel, Baltimore, eager and ready for business

Maryland knows of Vincent's annual Dahlia show,
the majoritv of the party were seeing the Dahlias
for the first time. "Truly, a sight to behold," seemed
to be written on the face of every visitor as the cars
drove through the fields gloriously painted with acres
of Dahlias of every shade in full bloom. Somehow
one instinctively felt that the late Lieutenant Colonel
MacCrae must have had just such a sight in mind
when he wrote that memorable poem "In Flanders
Fields."' True, Poppies were his theme, but the Dahl-
ias in open fields at Vincent's might equally well
have inspired him. The greenhouse range of the firm
was also carefully inspected ; again refreshments
were served; and then, back to the Emerson, fit and
ready for the banquet that evening.

The Banquet on Thursday Night

With distinct memories of that great F. T. D. ban-
quet in Toronto last year, between 200 and 300 F. T
D members and friends sat down in full anticipation
of a night that would linger for all time. They were
not disappointed. No attempt had been made to seat
anyone in any particular place, with the result that
the East dined with the West, and the North with the
South. An introduction at each table quickly had
everybody talking to everybody else as if they had
been friends for years— as, in some cases, they had.

At the speakers' table, with Chas. F. Feast as mas-
ter of ceremonies, sat Philip Breitmeyer, Irwin Ber-
termann, Wm. F Gude, Karl P. Baum, William J.
Smyth, Richard Vincent, Jr., Edward Sceery, W. W.
Gammage, Carl Engelmann, Chas. Le Viness, Jr., and
S. W. Gillilian.

When the coffee was reached, Toastmaster Feast
called on Isaac Moss, Charles Le Viness, Jr., and
Richard Vincent, Jr., all of whom again expressed
their deep pleasure at having entertained the F. T. D.
and their friends at their establishments earlier in
the day. Mr. Vincent, introduced as "that grand old
man of horticulture," seemed deeply affected by the
warmth of greeting extended to him. He paid kindly
tribute to the "boys," who, he said, were fully en-
titled to a big share of the thanks that had been
given on all sides for the splendid manner in which
Baltimore had taken care of the visitors.

Edward Sceery, president-elect of the F. T. D.
made a rousing speech filled with pledges of sincerity,
to do all within his power and ability, when he filled
the presidential chair next yeaiv Mr. Sceery, as he
had shown immediately after his election the day
previous, is keen on piloting the F. T. D. A. through
1923, a keenness which augurs well for the associa-
tion during his administration. He repeated his
trump card — the promise to make extensive tours
throughout the country for the purpose of coming in
close contact with the members and assisting those
in charge of the various districts in their effort to
strengthen the association locally. Mr. Sceery told
of a touching incident that occurred after his election,
when he had promised to make these countrywide
trips. He was approached by a New England mem-
ber who told him that when he came to Plymouth,
Mass., he would find a room ready and waiting for
him and a warm invitation to board in the same
house. Many other similar invitations have since
reached Mr. Sceery revealing in unmistakable terms
the spirit that pervades the entire organization. Out :
of all this, Mr. Sceery reads nothing short of a won-
derful future for the F. T. D. Great applause fol- :
lowed the president-elect's speech, which had been
listened to with close interest for over an hour.

W. W. Gammage spoke in feeling terms of Canada's
participation in the work of the F. T. D. A., and in
closing reminded the members that meeting places
had apparently been booked up to 1926. He wished,
then, to take advantage of the moment to invite
them back to Toronto for 1927. The invitation was
received with thunderous approval.

Carl Engelmann, England's representative, followed
with a happy speech, expressing the thought that
while he always appreciated the cooperation exist-
ing in the F. T. D. A. his participation in the meeting
this year had given him a really intimate view of the
fellowship between the members, the sincerity of
which he considered nothing short of wonderful. In
closing, he said that as invitations for the annual
meetings of the association seemed to be the "order
of the day," he would extend an invitation for the
1930 meeting to be held in Europe. From the man-
ner in which the European invitation was . accepted,
it would seem advisable to commence packing up
"the old kit bag."

Toastmaster Feast then called upon Strickland W.
Gillilian, a humorist in prose and poetry with an

international reputation. Mr. Gillilian made merry
with everything and everybody, including President-
elect Sceery. He told the members that he had been
watching Mr. Sceery eat. It was his opinion that
when the president-elect visits their respective towns
it would be more economical to put him up at the
local hotel, rather than try to board him in then-
own homes.

With the speechmaking at an end, and the young
folks "champing at the bit" [why not, rather, "paw-
ing the ground?" — Ed.] the tables were hurriedly
cleared away and, in a few moments, the dance was
on. Lively two-steps and dreamy waltzes had every-
body forgetting about home and country.

Nothing, however, can continue for all time and
1.30 a.m. saw a breaking up of a red-letter evening,
if such a term is permissible.

F.jT. D. Delegation Visits Philadelphia

Seventy-five visitors from the Baltimore meeting
arrived at this city, Oct. 13, and before they left that
evening for their homes, they agreed that the old
stuff about "sleepy Philadelphia" was pure bunk.
Over fifty automobiles were furnished by the retail-
ers and supply men of the city and the entire party—
135 strong — started on a grand tour.

In the morning, visits were made to H. H. Battles.
Charles Henry Fox and J. Habermehl's Sons estab-
lishments. Luncheon was at the Manufacturers Club
— decorations by Habermehl. The 35 ladies in the
party received corsages of Roses and orchids.

Visits were then made to Pennock Bros, establish
ment and to Charles Grakelow's on Market st. The
undertaking parlors of Oliver H. Blair were also on
the schedule. The party then drove through thft
Parkway and up the Wissahickon to the Stotesbury,
Widener, Elkins and Harrison estates. On the way
back the party called at Grakelow's North Broad st.
store. Some of the men were invited into Mr. Grake-
low's home — what passed there is a secret. Dinner
was at the Hotel Adelphia and after much speech
making, the party moved on to the Stanley Theatre
for the evening show. The visitors were afterwards
escorted to their various trains.

All credit is due to the Philadelphia florists who
got behind the idea and particularly to those directly
responsible — John Habermehl, Charles H. Grakelow
and Charles Henry Fox.

Meaty Bits from the Meeting at Baltimore

They may not have known just what it is, but certainly
Baltimoreans must have known that the F. T. D. was holding
a meeting in their midst. A large welcome sign greeted us at
the station; a huge headquarters banner draped the canopy
of the Emerson; and a few blocks away, at either end of the
little park in St. Paul St., a "Welcome Florists, Say it with
Flowers," billboard told the news once more.

The big yellow and white identification buttons were certain-
ly great conveniences and ice-breakers. Of course, until you
got used to it, it was a bit embarrassing to notice someone
eyeing your lapel intently as if they had discovered there a
long, blonde hair. But often it led to a pleasant acquaintance-
ship— and the fact that it saved the time needed for a roll call
was in itself complete justification.

Young Granville Gude, champion oarsman of Washington,
must be a pretty good all-around scout. We make this guess be-
cause we noticed Miss Amelia Gude wearing one of his re-
cently won gold medals on a chain around her neck. Of
course, he had three of them to dispose of, but even so, it isn't
every chap that, even with half a dozen, would let his sister
in among the honored wearers.

It was a nice courtesy of those in charge to give Mr. Engel-
mann of England a seat on the platform. He was in good
company, too, along with Messrs. Breitmeyer, Grakelow, Charles
Feast, Bertermann, Gammage, Smyth, Knoble, Baum, Scfaling
and "Dad" Graham.

Someone thoughtfully placed a "Big Ben" on the front of the
chairman's rostrum before the meeting started. But, pshaw,
there wasn't any need of an alarm clock to keep every mother's
son and daughter of the bunch awake, every minute.

A proverb tells us to "Go to the ant, thou sluggard," and
learn industry. But the F. T. D. has learned the lesson of
the honey bee — the lesson of community or organization wel-
fare; for above the speakers* platform ran a big blue and
white banner bearing the text, "The interests of the Association
are paramount."

When the Canadian flag was saluted and the Dominion's Na-
tional anthem sung, there weren't many who knew the words.

The Florists Exchange

Meaty Bits from the Meeting at Baltimore

But the little bunch from "up there" made up in vocal vol-
ume what it lacked in numbers.

According to Mayor Broening, we might as well scrap Es-
peranto and the other so-called universal languages so long as
there are flowers that can be understood by every race under
the sun.

Whoever decorated the convention hall did a neat, conserva-
tive, thoroughly effective job. Palms and Smilax formed the
Piece de resistance, with just enough vases and baskets of
Roses, Chrysanthemums and Carnations on the platform to
provide the needed contrast.

There may be city executives who would consider the wel-
coming of a body of florists a perfunctory task to be gotten
over (or out of) as quickly as possible. Mayor Broening isn't
that sort. He made a speech that was specially prepared for
the occasion that carried a message as well as a welcome. And
he showed that he was glad to be there.

Ye correspondent estimated the attendance during the first
session from 275 to 300. Records showed later that 329 had
registered up to noon. Fortunately the room was large and
there were plenty of chairs — and, praise be, plenty of air.

But why do hotels locate their convention halls on the first
floor above the ground and on the main street? Trolley cars,
autos, newsboys and other street noises made it almost impos-
sible to hear some of the speakers.

It is said that at the time that Dr. Kinsoling's church was
originally established, it was the only one in the brand new
community which, however, boasted three taverns. Haven't
a doubt but that until the coming of prohibition the per-
centage of taverns or their modern descendants to churches was
even greater.

It is logical to suppose that had Bob Graham, Jr., been asked
at Ontario last year how he knew that Baltimore could en-
tertain and handle an F. T. D. meeting, he might have re-
marked with a wink: "Ask Dad, he knows."* Anyway, Dad did
know.

Mr. Gainsborough stated that even though he might not be able
to make a bouquet, he could tell a good one when he saw it.
Well, that's not such a bad recommendation, in itself.

The new interpretation of F. T. D. — "Fight the Devil" — cer-
tainly made a hit. Following the idea to its logical conclu-
sion why not assume (to Henry Penn's undoubted delight)
that S. A. F. means "Sure of Funds?"

Couldn't help thinking what a splendid and helpful feast
of finely executed oratory was set before that apt little pupil
in the field of declamation, Miss Wilhelmina Gude. And ap-
parently she didn't miss a single word of a single speech.

By the way, if there are going to be any future opportu-
nities to get such speakers as C. (Harmony) Grakelow, Balti-
more's Mayor, Brother Gainsborough and "Dad" Graham on the
platform at one session, why not make it a competition and
offer a cup for the winner?

By the way, again, "Dad" aforementioned expressed the
thought that perhaps he wasn't as bad as some of the F. T. D.
members might have thought him — but worse! Any way
there's no question about his geniality, his hospitality and his
ability to make a visitor feel at home.

Souvenirs were, of course, in order. So far, our collection
includes a Carnation (now withered) from Tuesday's lunch; a
neat little celluloid "profit calculator," provided by Dard's of
New York, through its Mr. Perry; a "Lepo" frog that sure
can leap, from the Athenia Florist of Chicago, and a very
welcome and useful leather bill fold from Mrs. Mary Johnston.
Thanks, kind sirs and madam.

Yes, as a worker and enthuser, you've got to hand it to Geo.
Geraghty of Dunlop's — and that's just what they did. What
was it? Why, a handsome traveling bag. And George, as he
stood there and gradually became aware of what was going on,
opened his eyes wider and wider and said "Whew!" right out
loud.

Brother Engelmann from overseas wasn't given much chance
to get bored. Twice on Monday he spoke to informal gath-
erings; Tuesday morning he responded to some words of in-
troduction; most of his Tuesday afternoon was given up to
judging windows; and when he returned to the hall he was
scheduled to deliver his formal address. But at that, the
program didn't seem to faze him.

It may be remarked that the ladies as a rule prove exemplary
members. They arrive at sessions on time, they pay real at-
tention, and they sit up front where the speaker feels they
can hear him without his having to wear out his vocal chords
and muscles.

Here's a bit of Max Schling philosophy: "The man who thinks
he knows it all is, actually, a dead one. He who knows he
doesn't know it all is a live wire and really progressive."

There was a whisper going round that Charles Grakelow's
hat might be in the ring come next mayoralty election in Phila-
delphia. Fine enough! The F. T. D. has already given a
good mayor to one good city, Detroit; why not another to an-
other?

We might have known it would happen. As a matter of fact,
from the time it was decided that the Ad Man was to go to
Baltimore, we expected it and the only question was, what form
would it take? Well, we were getting the last minute-bef ore-
going-to-press news of the meeting at the telephone and he,
the Ad Man, happened to be on the wire. "What about the new
president?" we asked. "What do you think of him?"

"Why," came the familiar voice, "I believe he's going to
make good all right and I'll tell you why: He appreciates the
job he is taking and he's going to tackle it in the right spirit.
I know this, boss, for I watched him when he stood up to ac-
cept the election and he was just Sceeryous all over."

We heard a loud crash and then silence. Whether the cen-
tral operator was listening in and fell off her stool, or
whether the wire short circuited from the shock, we don't know,
but we got no more news that night.

Fred Lautenschlager of the Brunswick-Kroeschell Co of New
Brunswick, N. J., and Chicago, with W. S. Statt and H. S.
Best of the Eastern office, were strongly in evidence. Yet Fred
found time to dash over to Washington where he sold a
No. 7 Kroeschell boiler to Van Bogter and Sons.

There is no question about the fact that the F. T. D. A. is
a "big thing" today But it is interesting, just the same, to
look back, as Secretary Pochelon did, to the early days when,
in 1912, the first meeting of the revived "Retail Section of the
S. A. F." was held. Here was the genesis of a movement that
has since won the admiration of all floricultural interests.

Charlie Feast sprang a new one when he remarked that there
was a long distance transfer of flowers long before even the

telegraph, let alone the F. T. D. A. was even thought of.
When.'' Why, when the dove carried the Olive branch to Noah,
on tne stranded liner Ark of the B. C. Steamship Co.

Bob Halliday, The Florists Exchange representative of
Baltimore, has a well thatched roof of grey tinged hair. Rob-
ert Kift, from whom Nature has taken that of which Bob has
a plenty, was, therefore, prompted to place an order with Bob
for a package of "hair seed." Chas. F. Feast, standing nearby,
realizing that his hair lawn is not quite as thrifty as it used
to be, immediately placed his order for a package of the same.

"Lest we forget," handy souvenirs not already mentioned
were distributed as follows: Vest pocket size engagement book
by Robt. G. Wilson, Brooklyn; hand baggage tags by Mary
Johnston (many of which were observed on the satchels of
members as they arrived) ; six-inch celluloid rule, by A. T.
Bunyard, New York; vest pocket address book by A. Waren-
doff, New York; and feather penholders and pencils, by trades-
men whose names (since we did not happen to receive the
gifts) are not known to us.

Mrs. Charles Henry Fox was responsible for "putting over"
as splendid a piece of publicity as has been secured by the
F. T. D. A., through an article in an issue of the Baltimore
Sun last week. Mrs. Fox told the reporter interviewing her
of two worth while incidents in their store. Both made highly
interesting reading for the general public, while the second
story brought home the gospel of the F. T. D. through the
constant delivery of flowers in Europe for a young Philadelphian
to his sweetheart at almost a different stopping place each day.
Mtss M. Graham, daughter of "Dad Graham," or should we
say, sister of "that Graham boy," was so enthused over the
far reaching value of the service rendered by the article to
florists in general, that she promptly sent Mrs. Fox a beautiful
corsage of orchids, which the wife of Philadelphia's famous
florist wore during the closing days of the meeting.

"Dad Graham" gave a dinner on Tuesday night at the
Emerson, in recognition of the success of Charles F. Feast,
and young "Bob Graham" in securing this year's meeting of
the F. T. D. for Baltimore. His guests were: John M. Besemer,
Edward Sceery, Max Schling, Irwin Bertermann, Wm. F. Gude,
Philip Breitmeyer, Albert Pochelon, H. V. Swenson, Frank
M. Suttle, Robert L. Graham, Jr., Isaac H. Moss, W. W. Gam-
mage, Wm. J. Smyth, Harvey E. Larsen, Mike Bloy, Chas. F.
Feast, Robert Tate Patterson, Karl Baum.

On Tuesday 40 F. T. D. members who happen to be Rota-
rians in their respective cities were entertained at lunch at the
Hotel Rennert by the local club, of which R. A. Vincent and
Isaac H. Moss are members. Dahlias in profusion were dis-
tributed on tables, but there was little dallying at the tables
after lunch as the F. T. D. men had been urged by Pres.
Breitmeyer to "hurry back to the meeting."

Baltimore isn't the first city to have shown the F. T. D. A.
a rousing good time, but it is certainly noteworthy for the
things in which it has been first in history. Home of the first
steam railway, the first electric railway, the first use of the
telegraph, the first monument to George Washington; birth-
place of the Star Spangled Banner and of Edgar Allan Poe, one
of the nation's foremost poets — these are only a few of the
causes fdr a very legitimate local pride to which several of
the speakers referred from time to time.

Miss Wilhelmina Gude — "the little sweetheart of us all" as
Pres. Breitmeyer called her — certainly played an important role
in the imposing opening ceremonies. And she played it to the
queen's taste, too.

At one time it grew so warm in the convention hall that
the electric fans were started. For a few moments the effect
was as if hundreds of June beetles had come into the room
and were buzzing against the walls. Then it was discovered
that the fans were playing a tattoo against the leaves of some
of the palm decorations that had been placed too close to them.
The trouble was quickly remedied and the discussion, again
becoming audible, was resumed.

All who enjoyed the luncheon on Tuesday found at their
places pamphlets and buttons through which St. Louis extended
"the glad hand" for 1923. At the time it seemed odd that
only the one city was thus campaigning. Later, when the
question of choosing next year's meeting place came up, it
became evident that there wasn't any need of a contest — it
was St. Louis in 1923 from the word "Go."

Undoubtedly a good many of those who make daily use of the
list of members in the F. T. D. News never had any idea of
what the publishing of a magazine involves until they inspected
the interesting and instructive exhibit prepared by the News
staff and shown on an easel to the right of the platform. Copy,
galley proofs, page proofs, dummy, halftone cuts and all the
other components of a publication were shown in their chronolo-
gical sequence.

During Tuesday afternoon an enterprising photographer took
several flashlight photographs of certain individuals and groups
(mostly ladies) off at one side of the convention hall. The dis-
cussions went right on — but there were some involuntary jumps
at the sudden unexpected explosions of the flash powder. And
for a few moments, Mr. Engelmann might well have fancied
himself back in "dear old London," so thick was the result-
ing foglike smoke.

During the discussion as to the best time of the year in
which to hold F. T. D. meetings, Max Schling expressed the
opinion that the weather would some day be an even more
important factor than it is now. For, he explained, some day
"The association is going to be so big that there won't be any
hotel big enough to hold us, and we'll have to meet outdoors
in God's green country itself."

An interesting feature of the convention hall decorations was
a series of posters exemplifying the F. T. D. and "Say it with
Flowers" ideas. These were the work of students of the Phila-
delphia School of Design for Women, and while some of them
were rather amateurish in execution, all exhibited a valuable
originality of idea.

That the plan for reorganization according to the District
Representative scheme went over the top without a single op-
posing vote and after only brief discussion speaks well for
the merits of the proposition. But it speaks even louder in
praise of J. F. Ammann and the excellent, untiring work he
has done in explaining and preaching the gospel of the new ar-
rangement from one end of the country to the other.

According to the report of the Clearing House as it was, 19
out of 2500 odd F. T. D. members are listed as "poor pay"
as compared with more than 400 non-members so listed. The
foregoing figures are commended to all persons who are in the
habit of , asking: "What is the effect of organization? And
does it pay?"

Europe may not yet have a very strong F. T. D. represen-
tation, but certainly it is not without constructive, forward-
looking ideas, as Carl Engelmann's address testified. It was
suggested that a special committee be appointed to look into

his speech and make recommendations, but this should not
deter every individual member from making, himself a care
ful study of the paper as published in The Exchange last week!
Of special value, from a florist publicity standpoint was Mr*
Engelmann's suggestion regarding the illustration of current
fashions in flower decorations at foreign capitals. The words
Paris fashions" in connection with hats and gowns have a
tremendous attraction for thousands of folks;
same words in the case of flowers?

why not the

The majority of delegates, sitting comfortably amid the com-
forts of the Emerson, may not have appreciated the suggestion
of the committee on window contest that hereafter contestants
let down their awnings on rainy days. It is one thing to
glance at a window as you hurry down the street; and some-
thing quite different to stand for anything up to fifteen or
twenty minutes studying and recording points of excellence
while the rain drops patter on one's umbrella or trickle down
one's neck.

After Tuesday's session ended Earl Mann wanted to give the
vase of American Roses a sprinkling to keep them fresh for
the next day. He didn't happen to have a sprayer with him
but was he stumped? Not a bit of it. A goblet of water, several
goodly mouthfuls, and the operation was performed most effec-
tively a la the reputed methods of the Chinese laundryman.

The holding of different meetings in the same hotel simul-
taneously certainly results in amusing complications. Both L
W. C. Tuthill of New York and Lange, an F. T. D. man I
from the city, bumped into the writer as they emerged from a
smaller room near the convention hall, rubbing their heads in
a puzzled way. It seems they landed by mistake in some sort ,
of a First Aid convention, and sat for some time listening to a
discussion of "compensation problems" before they decided that
they had reached the "right church but the wrong pew." Simi- ''
larly, one of the first aiders sat in with the florists until he
finally realized that something was wrong and bolted for the
door to make inquiries.

Speaking of souvenirs, Karl P. Baum, Knoxville, Tenn., dis- J
tributed folding manicure scissors in a convenient pocket case* !
equally useful, we would imagine, for snipping cigar ends or i
even for cutting flower stems at a pinch.

Seulberger of Oakland, Calif., is a live-wire F. T. D. mem-
ber all right, but he is also a dyed-in-the-wool baseball fan. So
is his boy. The two came all the way across the continent
to take in the World series and saw the whole five games be*
fore journeying to Baltimore. (Or, should we say, they came
to the F. T. D. meeting and incidentally saw the games? Well,
have it your own way.)

Pres. Breitmeyer was especially anxious that the ladies "get
right up in meetin' " and talk. They responded nobly, and
more than once won the applause of the gathering with an
apt comment, valuable suggestion or vigorous expression of
opinion. Incidentally, the large representation of lady florists
was most gratifying and inspiring.

The discussion on the Clearing House plan was waxing warm
and exciting when the Tuesday afternoon session was brought
to a close by the presiding officer. Next morning it seemed
as though some effective missionary work must have been done
over night, for when the subject was taken up there wasn't
any discussion at all, and the whole thing was settled by
unanimous vote in ten minutes.

Mr. Washburn of Bloomington expressed a thought that is
mighty well worth keeping in mind when he repeated the little
poem containing the two lines:

"The large work and the little' work—
And none of it is in vain."

One of the Baltimore newspaper reports of the meeting spoke
of the "more than 700 florists" in attendance. Reminded us
of the small town florist's comment regarding the 700,000 pop-
ulation of Toledo as mentioned by a speaker from that city.
"I don't know," he remarked, "whether that figure is the
actual population, or just the 'advertising' population." But
even if there weren't 700 there, there were more than half
that number and that is enough to constitute a record for
F. T. D. annual meeting.

One of the happiest similes expressed during the meeting was
that of a wholesaler — Hansen of Chicago, we think it was —
who compared the wholesale florist to the sun, and the flow-
ers he distributed to that sun's warm, beautifying rays. Natural-
ly all who receive any of those rays are benefited in equal
degree. To what extent those "rays" are passed on to benefit
others is then "up to them."

There was a big round of applause when Wholesaler Hansen
expressed the hope that ere long accounts between wholesaler
and retailer as well as retailer and retailer, would be handled
through the newly established clearing house. It's another big
possibility.

Good natured repartee certainly provided a splendid lubricant j
for a business meeting. Frank Traendly remarked, with a
twinkling eye, that the wholesaler is the hardest worker in the
flower industry. Immediately, some one rose up to agree with
him for, says he, "look at the way the wholesaler works us
poor retailers!"

Mr. Perry of Dards drew a sympathetic laugh from all florists
who handle steamer orders when he spoke of getting an order
for a $2 box of flowers to be sent to meet a lady on an in-
coming steamer when she reached quarantine! Anyone who
knows the government regulations in regard to meeting return-
ing travelers will appreciate the impossibility of the demand.
And yet — with the development of airplanes — who will say that
such service will not some day be possible?

A New Method of Sweet Pea Culture

The above is the title of a copyright leaflet offerer!
for sale at $1 by John Mortimer, Valley Stream, L. I.

If the leaflet offered anything new and provided a
really reliable method of preventing bud dropping
during the Winter months, the dollar would be well
invested, but, actually, nothing culturally new is of-
fered wtdle statements are made to which no expert
Sweet Pea grower will agree. Everyone who has
grown Sweet Peas knows the predisposing causes of
bud dropping. This habit is common even in the
open in England and is generally rife when weather
conditions are unduly changeable. In this section,
the same trouble is prone to crop up among outdoor
Sweet Peas when cool, steamy nights follow a hot
spell. At times the buds fall because a fungous at-
tacks the stem but, as a general rule, weather con- 1
ditions are responsible.

' To declare, therefore, that pinching the plants
when young obviates bud dropping is rather absurd;
as a matter of fact pinching of the ordinary late
flowering varieties when 4in. high or so, has been a
regular practice among gardeners for many years
because, in a general way, the leading growth is apt
to stand still after awhile. By pinching the growth
the basal laterals are encouraged to start earlier and
these laterals are always stronger and yield finer
blooms than the leader, assuming the latter does con-
tinue growing.

There is, however, a slight difference in the habits
of the late flowering and the early flowering type,
although owing to the repeated crossing with the
Spencers, the early sorts have shown more kinship to
the late type in the way of growth than formerly,
while retaining the early flowering character. The
original early types were more spindly in growth and
were not so prone to bush out like the late sorts; in
fact, it was the tendency of the leader to continue
growth without first bushing out at the base, that
ensured early blooming. It was thought at first that
the early Spencers would not respond to the same
methods of culture as is adopted by exhibitors of
late sorts, but in recent years it has been proved
that the earlies respond as readily to the cordon
treatment as the later, which treatment necessitates
the encouragement of basal growths by pinching.

Now the author of the "new" method of culture
explains that by pinching or cutting back to two or
three leaf joints after the plants are 4in. high, bud
dropping is eliminated ; the plants will not grow so
tall ; less seed is needed to fill a given space ; the
flowers will last longer and the stems will be of
greater length. And here is the germ of the theory.

We are told that pinching will eliminate the male
flowers. We are told, too, that Sweet Peas have
male and female flowers, and that it is the male
flowers which drop in the bud state. We are calmly
assured that the first growth of the plant, that is
the first and original shoot, when left, produces male
flowers. The stopping of this growth removes any-
further tendency to produce male or imperfect flow-
ers. It is advised that one or two of the laterals
that are pushed forth be retained ; these we assume
may be allowed to produce their side growths without
hindrance so that the maximum crop be obtained ; the
cordon method permits no side growths, all the
strength of the plant being directed into the small
crop of flowers produced on the two or three growths.
No one will quarrel with the pinching or stopping
of seedling Sweet Peas ; it has been practiced for
years ; in fact, this writer used to pinch his plants
in the days of the old grandifloras; the breaking down
(by the cats) of a batch of Burpee's Navy Blue back
in 1899, showed that removal of the leading growth
encouraged sturdier laterals which gave finer flowers.
But when John Mortimer tells us that Sweet Pea
flowers have two genders. I take issue at once and
so will every other grower who has ever examined
the Sweet Pea.

This is one of the most perfect of all self -fertilizing,
double sexed flowers one can name; the anthers or
male elements may not always accomplish their work
but when the conditions are right, they never fail.
Every Sweet Pea flower is fertilized before the bud
expands ; for this reason it has to be emasculated in
the bud stage if crosses are to be made. Such a
thing as a single sex Sweet Pea does not exist and
when it is declared that it is the male flower buds
that drop, and that stopping the central growth will
eliminate such male buds, the author ignores facts
that are open to the eyes of all. W.

Southern Pine and Live Oak. The steamer moves on
without a tremor and everyone gets acquainted with
everyone else, finding chairs and settling down to en-
joy the imposing panorama of the novel landscape.
Temperature and air are just right and a cool breeze
is fanning our cheeks.

The banks of the river are very low, very apt to be
swampy and, where there are not immense, perfectly
level savannas of grass that spread out, for miles
inland, they are covered with virgin forest, Live
Oaks, Water Oaks, Bay, Gum and Magnolia hung with
the long waving drapery of solemn Spanish Moss.
Groups or mile-long reaches of beautiful palms fas-
cinate the Northern eye. Here and there, in the green
savannas, like sentinels, stand lone palms waving
their crested crowns. Underneath and interwoven
among the mighty crowns of the forest trees are wild
Jessamine and other creeping vines, lacing the under-
growth with unbroken verdure. Then a dell appears,
festooned with climbing and over-arching growths,
gracefully curtaining its entrance and tempting the
beholder to find out what might be going on within
the half-hidden sylvan retreat. There is enough and
more to be seen from deck, even when the steamer is
far from land. The captain points out where subter-
ranean springs well up from the riverbed, forming
mounds of water in the river itself.

Fun with and for the Captain

It is dinner time before we know it, but a hungry
stomach tells us that even the most enticing land-
scape has not the same charm as the sonorous clang
of the dinner gong. As luck would have it we are
placed at the captain's table and we are not sorry,
for our captain is a jolly old seadog, full of fun and
anecdotes, always ready to "put one over" on his pas-
sengers and never missing the mark. He casually
mentions that he has sailed the river when the alli-
gators were so thick they got tangled up in the pad-
dle wheels, hardly any of them less than 30ft. or 40ft.
long You ought to have seen the flappers and the
schoolma'ams swallow this bunk. Why, they even
forgot to study the menu card.

The cuisine and service on our boat was first class
in every particular. There were about 50 at table,
just enough to make a pleasant family crowd. By
this time we had passed Orange Park, Mandarin,
Magnolia Springs and Green Cove Springs. My friend
and myself lit our nosewarmers and began a most en-
chanting evening, with nothing to do but smoke and
think ; most of the time we forgot to do the latter, and
just looked. It was mild but cool; the sun was get-
ting ready to set in a riot of color made up of solid
banks of orange, scarlet, gold and purple, all shot
through with flashing rays of rainbow hues, a spec-
tacle of unbelievable beauty. The nearest shore is
covered to the water's edge with luxuriant tropical
vegetation, giant trees hiding the deeper portions of
the forest which are dark as night already. The
front is becoming gilded and silvered and the Span-
ish Moss, enshrouding all. gives to the landscape an
eerie, solemn and betwitching appearance. Dreams,

Southward Ho!

in which the Southland figured, have come true, the
spell of the Southland is upon us and we drink it in.

The Passing of the Bars

The river at Magnolia Springs is over six miles
wide, and its indescribable beauty has been sung ever
since it was discovered. Water Hyacinths are now
seen, little islands of them, here and there, floating
lazily toward the ocean. Pleasure craft, too, are plen-
tiful and tugs, pulling long strings of freight scows,
loaded with fruit, lumber, resin and tar. I spied a
long, narrow strip of something dark in the river,
later several more and, when the captain passed near,
was fool enough to ask him what they were. Here is
where I put my foot in it for the captain nearly had
a fit laughing when he said to me : "You are a helluva
Bostonian, bragging about the bars you have stood up
against and not knowing a bar when your ship al-
most scrapes one." "Are these things bars?" I asked..
"For goodness sake, stop the boat. I want to get a,
schooner." (Never mind, I paid that captain back,,
good and plenty, next day at lunch.)

It is now 8 p.m. and our crowd on the after-deck is=
getting chummy. The flappers and the young sprouts
started in early in the afternoon. We were telling
stories and having fun with the schoolma'ams, among
whom was one who had come on this trip just to see
the river. Yet a more disgusted traveler never was.
For she found that she hated water and. never having
seen so much in one bunch, wanted to leave the
steamer direetamento.

Even at 11 p.m. I can hardly tear myself away from
the river by moonlight, but I must. Before going to
my stateroom I tell the steward to chase me out by
4.30 a.m. You ought to have seen the look that darky
gave me. I could see him think "another crazy Yan-
kee." Had a fine sleep, and am up on deck by a little
after four, never waited for my darky. It is just be-
coming light enough to distinguish the shores, for in
the night we have passed Palatka and above this town
the river becomes ever more narrow. As it becomes
daylight the view from the deck where, except for the
watchman, I am the only living soul, is simply glori-
ous. A hazy, transparent mist, the air delightfully
cool and, yet, letting you know that you are far from
the North and, on the water wherever you look, great
floating islands of water Hyacinths, looking cheer-
fully green and fresh. The steamer pushes them aside
and meets new ones every minute. From now on the
river is hardly ever a mile wide until it reaches Lake
George. It makes the most unexpected turns without
the least warning. The floating islands, the dark and.
silent river with its devious and alluring course,
transfixes the eye and fascinates the imagination. By
some strange instinct, as it were, our noble ship
treads her changeful way steadily and surely past a
thousand temptations of equally promising openings.
In the night we also passed San Mateo, Buffalo
Bluffs. Welaka. Norwalk and Fruitland, all stations
where steamers land to take on cargos of Oranges,
Grapefruit, etc. There are innumerable Orange groves
and other plantations hidden behind the forests that
frinze the river's edge.

Up the St. John's River

Our little steamer, the "City of Jacksonville'' was a
sidewheeler, but otherwise as well fitted out as any
big craft, except that it had no smoking room or bar.
These would not have been missed anyhow, because
my friend and myself had decided to spend every
minute on deck so as to miss not a single feature of
the trip up the river. A good-sized bunch of flappers
that hopped onto the steamer at the very last minute
gave us hopes that the voyage would, at any rate,
not become monotonous, which hope proved not a
futile one. At 4 p.m. our craft cut loose from the
pier and presently passed under the great, new hand-
some bridge a mile long. Only a few feet from it is
a railroad bridge of the same length, but built much
lower and provided with a draw. Jacksonville with
its skyscrapers is now receding in the distance for the
river is some three miles wide. We sail near the right
hand shore and catch glimpses of many beautiful resi-
dences peeping out through the thickets of giant trees
and palms, which alternate with long stretches of

Mr. Thommen says to note how the critters have all turned their backs on him. Personally, we prefer them that way.

The Wonders of a Morning Sail

By daylight we are at Fort Gates and enter Lake
George, a noble sheet of water, some 16 miles long
by 8 miles wide. A little after six we near the end
■of the lake and make a landing at Volusia to dis-
charge some freight and passengers. Prom here on
the river narrows more and more as we go along.
Bays and bayous, hundreds and thousands of acres
in extent, are on either side, sometimes looking like
the mouths of immense rivers or small streams and
always chock full with a solid growth of Water
Hyacinths. The landscape is taking on a still more
tropical aspect as palms become more numerous than
ever and of much larger dimensions, many reaching
50ft. to 70ft. Because we are now quite near the
shores we can see great big cranes and blue herons,
sometimes singly and then again whole flocks. They
fly along the shores, stand among the vegetation like
sentinels or light on some monster skeleton of an Oak.
The morning sun sheds its golden rays over a land-
scape which I have not the power to describe, it is
too enchanting, too sublime, like a fairy country or a
dream; a wonderland of palms, trees, green expanses
of Hyacinths and shining water which reflects the
tall palms as in a mirror. One does not notice the
.churning of the steamer's paddles. Everything seems
quiet, like a Sunday morning, even the song of in-
numerable songbirds and warblers disturbs not the
effect of reposeful nature. Silvery circles, every-
where, are evidences of where fishes have come up to
get a look at the wondrous beauty of forest and
stream. Few flowers are seen for it is not the season
for flowers in Florida. Yet, there are white and scar-
let Lilies of I know not what sort, along the low
shore, and to give color and motion to the picture
there are herds or single specimens of cows to be
seen where one would least expect them. They are
•out in the lagoons or along the shallow shore, up al-
most to their ears in water and feeding on the Hya-
cinths and other greenery. There is feed enough,
along this river, for a million cows. Overhead in the
blue ether large fishhawks soar and spiral, and ducks,
•or whatever they be, scoot over the shining water.
We pass a schoolhouse and dance hall, all in one as
the signs make it appear. There is no other building
in sight for miles to be seen. The next town is Astor,
.and from now on larger openings occur in the forest
and among the palms, giving glimpses of big Orange
groves and other plantations.

•Getting Even with the Skipper

No one wanted to go to breakfast at 7.30 but every
•one went in the end and now was approaching the
time when I would have my inning with the captain.
He was through with his oatmeal and just telling
the waiter how be wished his eggs cooked when I
told my waiter to bring me a cocktail and make it
snappy. "Beg your pardon, sun, I like to do it but I
•can't, this is prohibition," my darky tells me. "Here,
then," I said, "ask the captain what he means by hav-
ing printed on the menu card — 'Wines, beers, liquors
served only if ordered of the steward?" The captain
put on his specs and, sure enough, there it was at
the bottom of the card, and to put it mildly, a more
flabbergasted captain you never saw. We had new
menu cards for the rest of the trip and they have
them yet.

We then went outside to watch our friends, the
white egrets, a dozen of which graceful birds had kept
■our ship company ever since the river became narrow.
The beautiful creatures would fly ahead a few hun-
ded yards and pose picturesquely on dead stumps or
trees or standing in the water, until the steamer
caught up with them, when they would repeat the play.
These denizens of the forest and swamp and the fish-
hawks, gyrating overhead, just fitted in with the
Florida landscape. Wild ducks are now to be seen by
the thousands, also whole stretches of what look
like big clumps of Mallows with great pink flowers.

The river now is nothing less than a succession of
lakes joined together. It is not more than 100ft. to
200ft. wide, often so narrow that the palm-fronds
touch the slip from both sides at once. It is ever a
bewitching transfer from lagoon to river and from
river to lagoon and lake again. The river is con-
stantly turning the sharpest of angles, running back
beside itself as if fascinated with its own beauty,
then whisking suddenly about as if to outdo itself.
On either hand glimpses are had of bays and mir-
rored waters whose surface and shores seem likely to
have never wakened to other echoes than those of. the
wild birds who inhabit them. Again the river seems
lost in a bewildering perspective of silver streamlets,
separated only by some narrow knifeblade of meadow-
land and flowers; but up them they are all verdure-
banked and moss-hung and vine-curtained and flower-
bedecked — the very picture of tropical profusion and
loveliness. The swelling waves from the passing
steamer lift and move away islands that just now
were, but which a moment after are seen drifting
with the current and breeze in fragmentary sections,
«ach one a living, floating, tropical bouquet. The

weather is delightful ; and with the odor of Summer
in the air, the spirit of beauty everywhere around us.
in the voiceful forest and the bright waters, we are
soon lost in silent contemplation. A rainstorm is now
threatening, the first one since I left Boston, but it
does not materialize. To see, all at once, the glowing,
joyful landscape transformed into a land where dark
shadows lurk on all sides, shadows that are made
darker and more gloomy by the ghostly, shroudlike
banners of Spanish Moss and where the water has
of a sudden the mirrorlike surface of silent, still pools
of poisonous ink, is witnessing a phase of transforma-
tion that can never be forgotten. By nine o'clock
thick clouds still prevailed, a few drops fall and the
fish jump by myriads. Then we saw the first alliga-
tors, eight or ten in a bunch and hardly perceptible,
lying like a collection of dark logs on the edge of the
river. They were 6ft. to 8ft. long, and never made a
move, and none of us passengers would ever have
noticed their existence but for the captain's sharp
eyes. The boat came perilously near flopping over
when the captain gave the word and men, women and
children raced to the same spot. A little ways further
on one solitary, old he-saurian, about 12ft. long (some
said 20ft. ) crossed our bow only 15ft. ahead. We were
all waiting to see him get a punch in the ribs but,
evidently, he knew the ropes and, with a flirt of his
tail, dived and has not been seen since. The captain
made us believe or, at least thought he did, that these
were his trained alligators but, by this time, we did
not swallow everything the old rogue dished up
for us.

We Arrive at Sanf ord

Around ten o'clock we passed St. Francis. The
bayous here are absolutely clogged up with Water
Hyacinths. Droves of turkey buzzards roost in the
dead trees or sail overhead. Big stretches of Sedge

"The buttonhole trade is waking up, as I thought
it would, after the lead given by the king. I am men-
tioning it again because I want to urge that one
way of helping the quick growth of the practice of
wearing buttonholes is for every member of the trade
to wear a buttonhole."

This paragraph was written by a member of the
trade who knows London doings inside and out. We
may take it as representing a more accurate state
of affairs than the other already alluded to. It will
be noted that the writer argues on the same lines as
has been urged in these columns and elsewhere; the
trade as a whole should set an example by using
buttonholes at every opportunity.

Business and Pleasure Combined

The son of Henry Schrade, Saratoga Springs. N. Y-, listening to
the results of the World's Series by radio while tying up Sweet Peas.
This was done by running 150 ft. of wire from the receiver binding
posts from the instrument in the residence to the greenhouse where the
set of receivers was connected up with a loose coil of wire which could
be lengthened out as the work progressed

line the river's edge and we are becoming used to
seeing alligators now and then. Herds of cows are
feeding in the water or under the palms. More open
country is now seen, level as a floor, as far as the
eye can reach. The palms grow taller and the thickets
are impenetrable jungles, solidly overspun with some
sort of Morning Glory. What may be hidden in the
depths of these forest fastnesses the Lord alone
knows. The river is still trying to find a way out of
all this tangled maze but, in shadowy openings and
clearings, camps and campers catch our eye. They
wave to us and hold up strings of fresh-eaught fish.
The camps are becoming more numerous and it is
whispered around that we are nearing Lake Monroe
and Sanford, the end of our delightful river trip.
Eleven-thirty finds us all together at lunch for the
last time. Everyone is recapitulating his or her ex-
periences and telling of the wonderful voyage. All
but our schoolma'am, who has seen all the water she
ever wants to see in this world and, yet, just think of
it, on the return trip she has to see it all over again !
Then she confides to me that she will go back by
train. No more water for her.

Enjoying a cool breeze, we emerge from the river
into charming Lake Monroe, a sheet of palm-fringed
water six by ten miles, and traverse it obliquely to the
pier at Sanford, where we make fast at 2 p.m. My
German friend and myself make tracks for the "Hotel
Valdez."

Buttonhole Flowers in England

Recently we commented upon the statement made
by the Manchester Guardian, England, that button-
hole flowers have gone out of favor.

By a strange coincidence, the issue of the Horticul-
tural Trade Journal, somewhat later, contained the
. following : .

Bacteria versus Natural Fertilizers

In our issue of Oct. 14, on page 1001, we printed
an article entitled "Feeding Plants Outdoors with
Bacteria," by B. Field, and another article in the
same issue, on page 1010, headed "Bacteria versus
Fertilizers."

The growing scarcity of natural manure, together
with the possibility of eliminating disease and weed
seed, is making the study of beneficial bacteria hav-
ing fertilizing properties a highly important one at
this time.

Our esteemed correspondent, Eber Holmes of Hali-
fax, Mass., has been making some experiments on his
own account with the material known as Dextrogerm,
and we here give results so far as the experiments
have gone. Mr. Holmes is well known as a conscien-
tious writer, and his conclusions are worth noting,
even though his experiments have not been at all
complete as yet :

Dextrogerm as Seen at Halifax

"We put the prepared loam into the test bed for
'Mums on June 23 last when it was very wet and
planted the same day. I advised Mr. Field against
using the loam in this condition as we were having
pouring rains every day. However, he was anxious
to get the thing started and we let it go at that. Three
varieties were used : Halliday, Oconto and Unaka.
The two former are as dark green in color and as
good in every way except that they are not quite so
heavy in growth as the ones that were heavily ferti-
lized with regular manure. Unaka is not quite so
good, being lighter in color of foliage and not 60
heavy in growth.

"We made a test plot of Unaka when planting and
used nothing but lime mixed with poor soil in this;
here is the result : Poor soil and lime, very inferior
growth; poor soil and Fields' treatment, better
growth. Poor soil, heavily fertilized, better still. I
will say that in this experiment, Mr. Fields worked
along new lines and, for one thing, used his culture
at half strength, or the showing might have been
better.

"On July 10 we took some prepared loam in good
condition mechanically, as the weather was fine and
dry, and planted six varieties of Carnations in a
house. The same kinds were planted on the test plots
across the end of the house, a board dividing the
two lots in each case. All these plants have made a
very fine growth and there is little difference between
the two lots, one heavily fertilized and the other with
dextrogerm. Some visitors think that the latter are
better.

"On Aug. 21 we planted some young Hoses from
3in. pots; it is yet too early to say much about them,
but they are taking hold and rooting well and are
throwing up new red shoots the way Roses do when
they are happy in their surroundings. We potted some
young Roses in June in dextrogerm and they grew
as well as any Rose will grow in a small pot.

"I have visited Mr. Schlecht's place at Plymouth
several times during the past Summer and have seen
very good results there with dextrogerm, better In
fact than our own on 'Mums. However, I think he
used a better peat than we did. Although we have a
lot of rich peat on our farm, it so happens that we
took our loam for this year's planting off a poor piece
of land that we wanted to change over.

"Another factor to consider is that at Schlecht's.
they have been working for some years and have got
the thing somewhat stabilized, while at our place,
Mr. Fields worked along some new lines for his own
satisfaction. I will confess that I was sceptical at
first, but I have described truthfully just what we
have done here and what the results are; anyone can
come and see for themselves.

"To sum up the situation I would say : results here
with dextrogerm average, no better than with ma-
nures commonly used. Good growth can be secured
with it and if disease can be eliminated by the us©
of the material and the product can be sold at a fair
price, there should be a ready market and a large
field of usefulness awaiting it."

Fort Wayne, Ind.

The first killing frost of the season
reached us Oct. 12, when the temperature
registered 27 above. This has greatly in-
creased the demand for greenhouse grown
stock, of which there is insufficient quan-
tity to meet the present demand.

Business generally is good, there having
been a number of weddings, which call
for church decorations.

There are now on the market increased
quantities of Chrysanthemums. Roses
are greatly improved in quality and color,
but the crop is short. Carnations are to
be had in increased numbers, with better
quality, and stems are somewhat longer.

The Doswell Floral Co. has some very
fine Chrysanthemums, including October
Frost, Golden Queen, Smith'sl Advance
and Chrysolora from their greenhouses.
Very attractive decorations are being
carried out by this firm, for the closing
dance at the Country Club, held Thursday,
Oct. 19. A new Dodge delivery truck has
just been added.

The Flick Floral Co. has a fine showing
of plants, together with ferns and bulbs.

Trade Notes

Florists are frank to say that busi-
ness is improving, implying that it fell
off in the Summer, and has only now
begun to approach normal. Some of
them have had all they could do through
most of the period, but many have noted
a considerable deficiency in volume. Gen-
eral conditions can be blamed for mer-
chants and wholesalers say that only
within the past two weeks has volume
been satisfactory, and that collections,
both from retail merchants and from the
public, are unduly slow. October has been
the worst month on collections for a long
time, with men's and women's wear mer-
chants.

Samuel Murray prepared a window for
the beginning of the Fall season that had
striking originality. The window was
suggestive of Autumn, with scattered
leaves, and appropriate floral adornment.
The feature background was an immense
log of Oak, some 12ft. long and nearly a
foot in diameter. The bark was touched
up with gilt in spots for effect, the spec-
tator getting no impression of artificial
coloring. On the log was a squirrel, stuffed,
and a bird lurked nearby. Only the ex-
tremely commodious window shelf of the
Murray store would admit such a strik-
ing and elaborate setting for the flowers
shown.

The public and the trade are asking for
Chrysanthemums, and local growing will
be available in a few days. T. J. Noll is
expecting Mums from Longview shortly
after the middle of the month. Roses and
Carnations are of fine quality. Sweet
Peas are coming soon, John R. Hanley
promising good supplies for Nov. 1. He
is now cutting a few.

Personals

Henry Kusik and Mr. and Mrs.
John Klaus have returned from Europe.
Mr. Kusik had hoped to transact business
in Europe, but found conditions unfavor-
able for buying extensively of such sup-
plies as he found there. In Germany, he
said, he planned ordering certain sup-
plies, intending to distribute them to
wholesalers from Kansas City, but changed
his mind. The difficulty, he said, was two-
fold: first, there seemed no stability in
the price, the owner raising the price from
day to day; second, it seemed desirable
that one buying there should remain and
inspect the packing and shipping accord-
ing to his own ideas, to avoid error for
the long transportation, and he did not
want to stay so long. His final decision
was to let the importers, who have facil-
ities and representatives, handle the pur-
chases abroad, since he could more econo-
nomically and satisfactorily buy from them
in this country. Mr. Kusik and Mr.
Klaus traveled together from Kansas
City to France, Switzerland and Ger-
many, Mr. Kusik going alone to Austria
and Czecho-Slovakia.

Howe & Renick, Leeds, Mo., are har-
vesting their first Carnations from their
houses. This nrm is a new one.

Ralph Ward, Lawrence, Kans., was on
the market recently, buying supplies. Mr.
Ward has a nice business with the uni-
versity people of Lawrence, and is pre-
paring for good trade in the holidays.

Phil Ryan of Brookfield, Mo., has been
in Kansas City for "final inspection"

after operation a few weeks ago. He is
much better in health, but not yet fully
recovered.

John R. Haney, 75th and Belleview, is
getting his three houses, each 100 by 28,
in good shape. He is also building up
trade in decorative work. He has the
contracts for the Hillcrest Country Club,
the annual dinner late in October being
, the start of many sizeable contracts.

The Fall Festival

Several of the incidents relating
to flower appreciation came with the
celebration of the Fall Fashion Festival.
This is the third year that the merchants
have cooperated in style openings, and
was by far the most successful. Twice
as many merchants cooperated as hereto-
fore. The only distinctively new feature
in the store and window decorations, and
the means used to attract attention and
visitors, was flowers. Mrs. T. A. Mose-
ley, florist, is an active member of the
Women's Commercial Club, and her serv-
ice in the organization keeps before the
other business women, the subject of
flowers. She has been able through con-
versation, and through sales effort, to
educate the business women to the use
of flowers in store decoration. Prepara-
tory to the Fall festival, Fields' used
newspaper space to suggest the decorat-
ing of stores with flowers for the fashion
show and also presented the subject di-
rectly. The result was an unusually ex-
tensive display of flowers in stores and
windows, and also the giving of blossoms
by several stores, to visitors. One mer-
chant opened a new store during the
week, and gave flowers to all visitors.

Before the festival, which lasted four
days, was over, business men were an-
nouncing that next year there must be
some entertainment feature and a parade,
to help attract visitors; and the only
specific suggestion for such features, was
a flower parade.

A further development has significance
from another angle. Beginning next year,
no flowers or plants will be given away
by the Park Board, but the surplus will
be sold to florists. In this, as many other
cities, the Park Board has usually held
a "free for all" in the Fall when excess
plants and flowers from the parks were
distributed to all comers. E. E. Stock-
dale, Supt. of Parks, formerly was a
local florist; he has said that the city
would secure a substantial revenue, enough
to employ an additional helper at the
greenhouse, through the sale of surplus
to florists, and that it is unfair to re-
tailers who pay a license, for the city to
be giving flowers away or sell them to
the public. B. S. B.

Trade Notes

Oct. 9. — The continuance of bright
sunny weather, while generally acceptable
to the majority, is having a depressing
effect on the florists' trade. Consequently,
the volume of business is not improving.
As one member of the trade put it to
me: "People are not thinking about buy-
ing flowers while the sun is shining; they
are too interested in the great outdoors'"
True, we have our average of funeral
and wedding work, but society entertain-
ing has not yet commenced.

In spite of the weather, however, out
of city trade is brisk, and B. Hammond
of the' wholesale house, reports good busi-
ness. A fairly heavy supply of African
Marigolds, Asters and Zinnias is still
coming in, and the cut of indoor Roses,
Carnations and Chrysanthemums is steadi-
ly increasing. It is indeed fortunate that
growers have this outlet for their goods.
Pot plants, including Cyclamen, Primula
obconica. Pompon and early flowering
'Mums, Solanums and ferns in large quan-
tities are also on the market. Several
local houses are running special sales of
ferns to reduce their stock.

A Flood of Bulbs

Holland bulbs are everywhere, and
handled as they are by every Tom, Dick
and Harry, will, if I know anything about
conditions, burn a good many fingers be-
fore the end of the season. I wrote
strongly last year on this subject, but
this year everyone is handling bulbs.
Today I actually saw a suburban oil
station carrying a stock of them. A
couple of firms have already cut prices,
and are offering a collection of 60 bulbs,
Hyacinths, Tulips, Narcissi and Crocuses
for $1.50. Florists, Seedsmen and Nur-
serymen are all stocked up with them, and

I fear the majority will get well stung.
There is one phase of the bulb gamble
which apparently all have overlooked. I
refer to the bulbs being produced by
small local growers. These growers,
many of them women, who originally took
up the culture in their gardens, realized
there was money in the game. Many
of them have really good collections, and
as their space is limited, naturally have
a surplus for disposal. Their method is
to canvass their friends and acquaint-
ances, to whom they dispose of them at a
nominal price, which no one in the trade
can meet. I know of one lady who is
disposing of 5000 Darwins in this way.
Another lady is supplying the members
of a fraternal organization to which she
belongs with her surplus stock at a mere
fraction of the prices asked by the trade.
Of course it is hard to draw a line, but
dealing in bulbs does not appear to me
to be a -logical part of the florist's busi-
ness except as pot plants are cut flowers.

Personal Touches

The Woodlawn Flower Shop just
received a large shipment of pottery and
art goods direct from Italy, via steamer
to Seattle.

The City Flower Shop, which has been
operated for the -past two years by Syl-
vester Mencci and Bert Linegar, has con-
siderably strengthened its staff by taking
Louis Seagle and Roy Gusir in with them.
Roy is some decorator and go-getter at
that.

Stuber & Richardson of the Bryn Mawr
Greenhouses have commenced cutting ex-
cellent Carnations and 'Mums.

Fine vases of Helenium autumnale
rubra, and Riverton Beauty were noted
at Kenny's Home of Flowers. Will Des-
mond of' this store, who lost part of his
finger as the result of blood poisoning, fol-
lowing a scratch by a Rose thorn, is hav-
ing another portion removed this week.

Hollywood Gardens in keeping with
"Better Homes Week," has a 'Better
Home" window this week. It depicts a
cosily arranged room, in which a nicely
arranged fern box, an aquarium with
various aquatic plants, and some fine
Cattleyas are noticeable features.

At Rosaia Bros. Cyclamen, Primulas,
single Chrysanthemums and Solanums in
pots are leading features.

The Woodland Park Floral Co., Sum-
ner; Bentheim & Sons, nurserymen, Gar-
denville; Mrs. Sheffield, Burton, Wash.;
and the Malmo Nursery & Seed Co. of
Seattle had representative trade exhibits
at the Western Washington Fair, held
at Puyallup during last week.

H. Barton, the Yakima Florist, has dis-
posed of his business to A. Baird of the
Yakima branch of the Chas. Lilly Seed
Co. The florist's store will be managed
by Mrs. Baird.

C. H. and Mrs. Shaw of the Market
Floral Shop, Bellingham, were visitors
in the city last week. C. H. reports the
construction of a new market and florist's
shop, which he will occupy shortly.

Mr. and Mrs. Plath and daughter of
San Francisco stopped over in Seattle
on their return home from a European
trip, and were guests of Rosaia Bros.

S. H. Foreshaw, florist, Pendleton, Ore.,
was a caller at the B. Hammond Co. on
Monday last.

H. Kipp of the Spokane Florists looked
up acquaintances in our city last week.
He was on a trip to Tacoma to visit rela-
tives.

Henry Bockenkamp, Baker Floral and
Seed Co., Baker, Ore., visited the trade
during the past week. He was on his
way home from a business tour through
the Northwest.

J. O. Hankins, the Seattle Pottery Co.,
reports trade very good, with heavy ship-
ments, including one of 20,000 4in. pots
to a Victoria, B. O, firm this week. Mr.
Hankins says if the number of pots sold
are any guide to the growth of the florists'
trade, his records show that where he
sold 1000 pots ten years ago, he is today
selling 10,000.

Seattle Florists Meet

The Seattle Florists Association
held its monthly meeting at the St. Regis
Cafe on Oct. 9. After dinner, at which
about 50 members were present, Harry
Crouch called the meeting to order. After
the usual routine business, an address on
"The Analysis of Local Floral Condi-
tions," was presented by Eddie O'Neil.
A good discussion in which several mem-
bers took part followed.

A New Association Proposed

A Western Florists Association;
such is the suggestion floating around in
the local air, with a conference here in

the near future to put it through. And
why not? Our nurserymen have their
Pacific Coast Association, which has en-
abled them' to put through things bene-
ficial to their profession, which could not
otherwise have been accomplished. Pro-
gressive men in the florists' business here
realize that if western members of the
profession are to obtain benefits such
as are being obtained today by easterners,
they must extend their ramifications far-
ther than the scope of a small local as-
sociation.

Whilst the work of the national asso-
ciation is admirable in many respects, its
activities, owing to the vastness of our
country, and to the fact that the magni-
tude of the growth of the trade in the
West is little realized, has been largely
confined to that portion of the country
lying East of Chicago. All its shows and
educational exhibits are confined to the
East, and much of its labors is of little
value to western members, who have little
or no active participation in its doings.
This is no reflection on the S. A. F. On
the other hand, anyone having the good
of the profession at heart, must realize
that the excessive cost of travel across
the country will always prevent the ma-
jority of members taking an active work-
ing interest in the various proceedings of
the national association.

The establishment of a Western Asso-
ciation, with a membership drawn from
California, Oregon, Washington and Brit-
ish Columbia, affiliated with the S. A. F„
and represented at its council table, could
not fail but to have a beneficial influence.

Seattle Rose Garden

Plans for the establishment of a
City Rose Garden are at last progressing.
The City Park Board has allotted a i acre
plot of land in Woodland Park. It was
selected for suitability of soil, location
and general adaptability. Work will be
commenced as soon as final plans are ac-
cepted. H. L. Collier, president of the
Seattle Rose Society, hopes to have sev-
eral thousand Roses planted in time for
next season's display. When completed,
the site will contain approximately 6000
plants, with pergolas and pillar Roses in
addition.

Plants will be provided by the society,
through its members and friends, and the
majority will consist of such varieties
as are particularly successful in the
Northwest, although specimens of rare
varieties and for experimental purposes
will be given special attention. It is
the hope of the society to make this the
finest Rose garden in the West. At pres-
ent the only Rose garden in Seattle is
on the campus of the University of Wash-
ington. This garden is to be increased
this year by the addition of 600 plants
furnished by the society. Geo. Cooper.

Artistic Trade Exhibits

The effectiveness in the way of busi-
ness pulling, of a trade display at an ex-
hibition, largely depends upon the meth-
od of staging, and it must be admitted
that even . at this late date, few con-
cerns make the most of their opportu-
nities. The illustration on page 1057
gives an idea as to what may be done
with a somewhat stiff flower like the
Gladiolus. This exhibit was staged at
the ordinary fortnightly meeting of the
R. H. S. in London on Aug 22 by Sut-
ton & Sons, the well known seedsmen of
Reading, England. Writing of this ex-
hibit the Borticultuml Advertiser says:

"Messrs. Sutton had the most striking
and effective group of Gladioli we ever
saw put up. All the leading sorts were
shown in huge bouquets, set up in large
vases of antique form, on a groundwork of
fern. The effect was magnificent and the
only possible criticism was that one or
two of the vases were a little crowded.
Among the most conspicuous sorts were
Foch, blush; Prince of Wales, orange
scarlet; L'Immaculee, white, beautiful
form; White Giant, the leading commer-
cial white; Red Emperor, Electra, scarlet;
Brimstone, name denotes color; Fire
Knight, and Willy Wigman and Mrs. F.
Pendleton, two of the best blotched Lem-
oinei."

Auburn, Ind.— Mrs. C. H. Maynard
recently had a narrow escape from death,
having" accidentally inhaled escaping gas.
When discovered she was in the last stages
of gas poisoning, but a physician was
called, also Mr. Maynard, and conscious-
ness was restored. She is now out of
danger; a very close call.

RETAIL DEPARTMENT

STORE MANAGEMENT

I. Dividing the store into distinct departments : (a) Sales, (b) Designers, (c) Pack-
ing, (d) Shipping, (e) Billing. II. Responsibility of each, and how to
check up — By HENRY PENN, Chairman National Publicity Campaign

DURING periods of limited floor space when flo-
rists could use four or five times the space they
possess as against other times when there is
more than ample, it becomes necessary to plan to
overcome every obstacle and to create the
greatest number of sales in the shortest
period of time, extending to the customer
all the courtesy and consideration he or
she desires. Being located on one of the
busiest corners of our city makes it im-
perative to have all details carried on with
the least number of steps from the time the
sale is made to the moment of delivery.
Hence, the need of saving time which is
also a big factor in your daily result.

A review of past experiences, coupled
with present conditions, enables us to op-
erate a system that covers all the details
with the least energy and in as brief a time
as possible.

Now, the first step is selling, so will start
with the sales force. In bygone days we
were content to allow that when a cus-
tomer entered the store any of the clerks
would take care of the prospect, regard-
less of what the clerk was doing. He
might be engaged in making up a floral de-
sign, or perhaps working on a wedding or-
der; consequently, his mind was on what-
ever he might be doing and he was not cap-
able of giving the prospective customer the
proper attention. Thus, we recognized the
importance of having clerks properly trained
to take care of the selling end. The lat-
ter are taught to be courteous and polite,
and. incidentally, are alert to the needs of
customers by coming in direct contact with
patrons continually, making them better
able to serve and capable of making a more
favorable impression than one who, by con-
stant work at his bench, is not so keyed and
prepared as the salesman who has only this
duty to perform. We find you can achieve
better results in this manner and sales are
more satisfactory than the old method. And
why should a florist's shop be different
from any other line when it comes to the
selling end? It pays and doesn't hinder
the rest of the work. Our salesmen write
out the specifications of each order and
then turn in the order sheet to the cashier who has
a very convenient booth, easy of access, where the
order starts on its way. Whether it be a charge,
cash or C. O. D. sale, it is properly cared for by the
cashier who files it in its proper place. All order
sheets are put through the cash register immediately

the sale is made, and are rung in duplicate so that
we have one sheet for office reference and the other
for the clerk who will look after same. For! instance,
all cut flower orders are selected by a special em-

Windo

ployee who attends to nothing else but selecting the
orders as specified and placing them in readiness for
the packer and his assistant who does nothing else
but the packing. We have found that we can do
our work with greater dispatch through having each
one in the store attend to a definite job.

Clerk's, Packer's and Shipper's Tables

At the rear of the store we divide the counters in
this manner: Order clerk's table; parallel with this
we have the packer's table, and next in line the ship-
per's table, with the exit at the latter's immediate
left ready for the truck. By having these three
tables parallel and close to each other we are able
to speed up our work. When the clerk has selected
the flowers he places them, with the original order
sheet attached, on the packer's bench ; the latter care-
fully packs the flowers and places the box, with the
order sheet still attached, on the shipper's bench. The
original order sheet remains with the or-
der until the driver is ready to start on
his trip, when the shipper removes it and
it is returned to the cashier. Through this
simple operation we have overcome one of
the greatest handicaps of our business.

Originally when flowers were leaving the
score it was a problem to know whether
the order was paid or charged or a clerk's
gratis order. Having the duplicate order
sheet system with the cash register imprint
on both sheets, one has but to look at the
order sheet attached to the box to know
its contents and see whether it has been
paid, charged or C. O. D. This method has
helped materially in our system of check-
ing up sales.

Then, too, the shipper has his duplicate
delivery slips for the chauffeur and himself,
recording the time the package leaves the
store and which truck was given the de-
livery. This method is undoubtedly adopt-
ed by all florists at the present time, but
the order sheet accomp_anying the order to
the shipper's bench after it has been re-
corded by the cash register is worth while
putting into practice.

80 much for cut flower orders.

Specialists in Design Work

Now for designs : We have certain men
make up our corsages and certain others
our wedding flowers and funeral work, al-
loting the work to the clerks best adapted
for each. It is very interesting to see how
much better results can be attained when
carrying out this plan. The men like it
and occasionally they change off their work
with each other if it becomes monotonous.
You will find it works out very well and
helps the system by having the orders filled
by each specialist as it comes to him. The
design is also accompanied by the original
sheet, to the shipper's bench where it is

1088 duly inspected before being boxed so that

all details are attended to before delivery

rather than have any errors after delivery. This

also serves as a double check on the order and many

an error has been averted by this plan.

The Prize Windows

The entries in the F. T. D. Window
Display Competition totalled nearly a
dozen, but there seemed little doubt in
the minds of the judges as to which three
deserved highest honors. As noted last
week, however, the merits of these three
were almost on a par, the respective
scores being 92, 91, and 90 points.

Robert L. Graham's First Prize Window

The illustration of this window (page
1087) gives a most inadequate impression
of this striking scheme, for a reason
which will appear a little later. The key-
note of the window was, as expressed on
a large placard, that "A canopy of flow-
ers should cover the world, and our Flo-
rists Telegraph Delivery Service will
convey the glad tidings."

The canopy was indeed there, made of
ferns and Carnations and extending well
across the upper part of the window. Be-
neath it appears a large representation
of the globe surmounted by the familiar
figure of a telegraph delivery boy. Massed
in the back and at both' sides of the
globe were vases of Dahlias, Asters,
Lilies, Roses, etc. The most striking fea-
ture in connection with the globe, how-
ever, was a series of ten miniature de-
livery ears, each of them bearing a pla-
card with the name of one of Baltimore's
F. T. D. florists. By a system of supports
and clock work, these cars chased each
other rapidly around the globe, visibly
demonstrating that the F. T. D. goes
around the earth. In the front of the
window were displayed a series of vases,
sprays, baskets, etc., illustrating prac-
tically all uses of flowers which can be
and are ordered through the medium of
the F. T. D. Birthday gifts, Christmas
remembrances, New Year's greetings,
Thanksgiving offerings, floral baskets for
convalescents, Valentines, and cradle con-
gratulations, all were graphically repre-
sented, suggesting the various ways in
which the Service can really serve.

The use of the automobiles bearing the
names of the different local florists made
a particularly strong impression on the
judges, as it examplified to a striking
degree the cooperative spirit of the as-
sociation, as well as the unselfish coopera-
tive spirit of the window itself. The at-
tention attracting quality of the window,
which in the judges' score card is valued
at 40 points, was largely the result of an
arrangement that made the photograph-
ing of the window exceedingly difficult.
This consisted of three 6ft. floral let-
ters ("F T D") made of Hydrangea pan-
iculata blossoms with the centers picked
out in Dahlia blooms of contrasting col-
ors. These were placed out on the curb
where they made it impossible for the pho-
tographer to get his apparatus close to
the window, but where they were re-
sponsible for continuous streams of pass-
ersby first stopping, and then crowding
around the window to admire and then ap-
preciate the message it conveyed.

The Second Prize Window

Wm. F. Feast & Sons were fortunate
in the large, well lighted' window of their
brand new shop, an excellent environ-
ment for a comparatively simple, but
none the less effective arrangement. This,
too, made use of the familiar globe idea,
but in this case the sphere was encircled
by the four letters "F T D A" gilded
and supplied with Mercury's wings. Sus-

NO ORDER TOO LARGE. NO ORDER TOO SMALL g'

specimens, including Chrysanthemums,
Roses and. orchids. These items ranged
from large ones in the rear to small jar-
dinieres in the foreground, where also
was prominently displayed the "Welcome
F. T. D." sign that one found on every
hand throughout the city.

One other unique feature in this win-
dow was a border around the immediate
foreground made of long mirror panels
upon which were painted in gold letters
the following jingles, one letter appear-
ing on each panel:

The Third Prize-winner

The casual visitor was urged to stop
and examine the window of Mary Pater-
son Johnston, which won third prize by
a large red traffic sign placed on the
sidewalk, the arrow bearing the word
"STOP" pointing directly at the window.
On the circular plate around this arrow
appeared the words, "Do you know the
meaning of F. T. D.?" The window ef-
fectively supplied the answer.

In this instance the P. T. D. globe was
merely in silhouette form surmounted by
the familiar flying Mercury. Directly in
front of it, and filling a large part of
the window, was a shallow pool containing
Water Lilies, Water Hyacinths and other
aquatic plants. Over this pond passed a
small trestle bridge carrying miniature
railroad tracks which disappeared at
either side under a bower of greenery and
flowers. Around the circular route thus
formed traveled a small toy train
which, of course, delighted all youngsters
who chanced to pass the window. The
trestle also supported the symbolic tele-
graph poles which in turn carried cop-
per wires leading to a telegraph sending
instrument on one side and a receiving
instrument on the other. A brief expla-
nation of the part these play in the P. T.
D. service was typed on telegraph blanks
scattered about the front of the window.

A further valuable feature, as well as
a rather unusual one, consisted of a large
placard at the left of the window bearing
the following message:

"Mary Johnston has been the agency
through which many people in our city have
been able to express their sincere good wishes,
their deepest sympathy; to send thoughts of
congratulation and to say 'bon voyage' to
the traveler. Also many people have been
the recipients of these kind expressions, and
all this has been made possible by the F. T.
D. A., of which I am a member. If you are
interested, step in and I will explain to you
just how, within an hour, it is possible to
have your sentiments sent anywhere in the
United States or Canada (or within a longer
period, throughout the world.) At your service,
(Signed) "Mary Paterson Johnston."

Below this name appeared two impos-
ing lists, one of them headed, "I have
received orders from the following cities,"
and the other headed, "I have sent or-
ders to the following cities."

Albany, N. Y. — John B. Wagner,

A Novel Basis for a Window Layout

In the proposal for a window layout
that possesses some originality and devia-
tion, the florist can try the one described
following: This particular idea can be
worked in, regardless of the flowers being
exhibited, although it is most appropriate
when tied up with offerings that repre-
sent good gift approaches of not too ex-
pensive type. The flowers should be in
the forepart of the window, and then at
the rear the florist should have a large
book placed upright and opened, the pages
to face the shoppers who look in the win-
dow. The book can be constructed of
cardboard or painted in the form of a
large sign. On the left page, either in
script or lettering, the following wording
should be offered:

The Books of Friendship Should Sot Go
Unbalanced
Then, on the opposite page, a suggestion
•or two can be offered in calling the atten-
tion of onlookers to the floral offerings
displayed in the window and carried by
the store for just such a purpose.

New flower shop of Herbert M. Sauber, at Fourteenth Street and Thomas

Circle, Washington, D. C, showing both sides of the store attractively lined

with Boston ferns for the opening. See text.

Herbert M. Sauber Opens New
Flower Shop

Herbert M. Sauber, who conducts
the flower shop at Wardman Park
Hotel, Washington, D. C, has opened
what is considered to be one of the city's
finest flower shops at Fourteenth st. and
Thomas Circle. It is a typical daylight
shop, with plenty of windows and mirrors
to reflect the light, and it is most at-
tractively fitted out in black and gold.

All of the woodwork of the store is in
black with gilt trimmings. At the rear,
on the left, is a bow-shaped ice box, above
which is the mezzanine providing an of-
fice for Mr. Sauber. Opposite is a stand
for cards, tie tags and other like station-
ery, and above this stand are two mir-
rors with a wall pocket in between for
flowers. At the side of the stand is a
large pier glass and then come the store
work tables with mosaic tops and con-
taining drawers in which the supplies of
paper are kept.

Above the work tables is a balcony-like
arrangement upon which a display of
ferns or of baskets can be made. Between
the tables is a pillar upon which mir-
rors have been hung. The office in the

mezzanine floor is hidden from the store
proper by a collection of Cibotium and
Boston ferns in attractive manner. From
it to the front of the store is a shelf
similar to that on the opposite side of
the establishment which is being used for
the display of baskets.

The windows of the store were attrac-
tively decorated for the opening In
each were baskets in black and gold and
elegant basketwork cages with canary
birds in them. All baskets used in the
display and the stands upon which bas-
kets and ferns were shown, were carried
out in the general color scheme of black
and gold.

The opening leader was an offering of
Maeawii ferns in 6in. pots and Boston
ferns in Sin. pots. It is declared that
the business done by the store in the sale
of these ferns bids fair to become a record
for Washington. Both sides of the store
on the outside were lined with ferns and
within the store fine specimens were
shown to advantage. When the Florists
Exchange correspondent visited the store
a week after the opening, ferns were still
being sold in numbers.

Each lady who attended the opening of
the store was presented with a bouquet

of flowers, while each gentleman received
a boutonniere holder, and the number of
people who visited the store during the
week was indeed large. Both Mr. Sauber
and the manager of the store, R. Clyde
Sauer, formerly with George C. Shaffer,
have a great many friends in Washing-
ton. Mr. Sauber was at one time man-
ager of the Z. D. Blackistone store, later
engaging in the printing business, and re-
turning to the flower business in the
Wardman Park Hotel, where he has a
very modern shop.

Everything about the new shop is at-
tractive and neat. Tie tags, business
cards and other articles of stationery
bear a design of an old-fashioned
girl with an old-fashioned bou-
quet. The establishment is located in the
same building that houses Le Paradis, an
uptodate restaurant soon to be opened
to the public. Thomas Circle is one of
the busiest places in a semi-residential
section and it is the meeting place of sev-
eral streets and avenues, Thousands of
automobiles .pass by each day and in
other respects this thoroughfare is a
lively one. Mr. Sauber seems assured
of success from the very beginning.

National Publicity Campaign

Information furnished by John Young,
43 West 18th Street, New York

There is renewed interest and much ac-
tivity now to be noticed in the conduct
of the Publicity Campaign, and the Pub-
licity Committee is busy with a number
of plans, all of which promise well for
publicity for flowers. > The Committee
had an all day meeting in New York, and
another session in Baltimore last week,
at both of which much was accomplished.
A full report of these meetings will be
given in our next week's letter.

The Committee still complains bitter-
ly of the neglect on the part of a number
of subscribers to take up the pledges they
have made to the Campaign fund. While
willing to believe that many of these
cases are due entirely to oversight, the
Committee hopes that all delinquents will
see the necessity now for sending in their
cheques. It is an uphill job trying to ful-
fil the objects of the Campaign with
an insufficiency of funds, and as the
committee is most sincere in its desire
to return to subscribers the best serv-
ice in its power, it feels it should have
the support of all those who have been
lax in the fulfilment of their most ex-
cellent intentions, and urges that cheques
be mailed to the secretary without further
delay. Bills have again been sent out
to all subscribers in arrears in the hope
that recipients will respond to this plea,
which action at this time means much for
the good of the trade.

The following subscriptions have been
received since last publication:

What's in a Name?

The Boston Store, Chicago, recently
held a sale of what was widely adver-
tised in the papers as "Chrysantheflora."
It was announced as a new creation seen
for the first time . in Chicago. "A won-
derfully brilliant, soft velvet, lustrous
flower that when dried holds its natural
color and luster indefinitely — ever so
much handsomer than artificial flowers.
Thev are sold at 25c. each, or a package
of seed for 50c. To the untutored in flow-
ers, they simply appeal to them as some-
thing new in Chrysanthemums of which
the general public is as yet not acquainted.
There have been calls at the seed stores
for these and visitors who have been to
the Boston Store tell of the monstrous
Chrysanthemums on exhibition there.

It is probably a good advertising stunt
on the part of the copy writer. in the ad-
vertising dept. of the Boston Store to call
them Chrysantheflora — but it is neverthe-
less misleading. It is said: "A Rose by
any other name would smell as sweet,"
but the old Cockscomb or Celosia cristata,
however changed or modified in its
growth, when masquerading as a Chrys-
anthemum is an entirely different propo-
sition. If the Boston Store had used
the correct name in connection with
the selling name it would not be so
bad. Bryson Ayres, the originator of
this strain of Celosias, doubtless chose the
term. Chrysantheflora because the heads
are large and globular, but there is neith-
er resemblance or affinity to the 'Mum.
In texture, substance, formation and in
the color of many of them, they more re-
semble the Cauliflower than Chrysanthe-
mums. * J. M.

Store Management

(Continued from page 1087)

all suffered more or less through
being las, and we know the disappoint-
ments resulting from not being on time.
However, we learn from our mistakes and
today we have found a practical man, one
who was formerly in the American Ex-
press Co. office, to look after this de-
partment. He has an assistant to look
after the work when he is out and their
checking method is similar to that adopt-
ed by the express companies, recording as
principal items names, addresses and de-
livery time. The shipper is held respon-
sible for all shipments being delivered
on time and is on his job every minute.
This department is one of the most im-
portant in the store, for on his ability
to deliver properly depends much of the
success or failure. He has his trucks
and boys, with a special staff of extra
boys attending the high school and work-
ing after school hours until 6 o'clock.

Many parcels, where no time is men-
tioned, are held for delivery after 2
o'clock by the high school boys, enabling
us to keep our regular staff delivering
orders that call for special time. Thus
we are in a position to look after orders
that require special time service. You
can make arrangements with the head
master of any high school to send re-
liable boys to you who are glad to earn
extra money and incidentally are getting
the first step in business training. And,
by the way, we use a similar method dur-
ing the holiday season in getting extra
salesmen from the nearby colleges; by
telephoning the employment department of
the college, we have been given fine
types of young men who are eager to earn
extra money and at the same time getting
business experience. We have one of our
own salesman to teach them the selling
end and in a very short period, before the
holiday season starts, they become pro-
ficient enotigh to take care of the extra
business which every holiday brings about.

Bookkeeping Department

Here we come to the billing or book-
keeping department where we have our
chief and assistants in a balcony at the
rear of the store, with every modern
known device to assist them in getting
all accounts and details finished the same
day. With the very latest Underwood
bookkeeping machine and adding ma-
chine, and a National cash register (the
latter having just been released after a
20 year experiment and which seems almost
human in its every detail) one machine
checks the other and errors seldom creep
in that are not detected ere long. With
the assistance of these machines and our
office force we are able at a moment's no-
tice to have our total volume of the pre-
vious day, month and year and a general
knowledge of the net profit daily, which
perhaps may be of interest to those who
are desirous of obtaining a daily ac-

count of their business. Our auditor has
at semi-annual periods arranged an aver-
age daily budget of current overhead
and operating expenses, by dividing the
actual costs by the number of working
days and adding the daily purchases; this
gives you a fair knowledge of your every-
day business, whether it be a net loss or
a gain. This suggestion will tend to
keep your buying down to a point where
you know how you 9tand at all times.
Of course, the exact details are rendered
monthly, but the daily report is inter-
esting.

The following report is submitted to
me daily from the cash register: Daily
cash sales; C. 0. D. in and out to date in
monthly periods; daily C. 0. D., in and
out; account of received on accounts for
the day; amount of charges for the day;
total cash received and received on ac-
count for the day; total cash, charges and
C. 0. D. out for the day; the number of
customers; also the daily work of each
salesman; the amount of stock sold under
the following classification: Cut flow-
ers, floral designs, plants and weddings,
miscellaneous and special; under the last
two keys we keep a separate account of
some new novelty that might be on sale
at different seasons of the year.

Establishing Credit Rating

We lay a great deal of importance on
new accounts opened and are very careful
to see to it that customer's rating is
good. In all large cities there are cred-
it reporting companies under affiliation
with the local Chambers of Commerce
where all retail store memberships are
grouped under one head in a rating book,
similar to Dunn's or Bradstreet's, with
the exception that it contains all neces-
sary information to retail business, such
as salaried and business folk who have
accounts with retail merchants, and every
name has its key and rating. This serv-
ice has saved us much trouble in not hav-
ing to accept bad accounts.

When application is made for an ac-
count the applicant is given a regular
form to fill out bearing these questions:
Name and address (if Mrs., give hus-
band's business address and name of firm) .
Vocation and business address. Refer-
ences, etc. If property owner state in
whose name assessed and location of
property. Bank references are not ac-
ceptable.

When the account is accepted the ap-
plicant is notified in a courteous man-
ner and the account is then recorded on
a Rand rotary file which contains the
names and addresses of all customers ready
for reference at a moment's notice.

Delinquent Accounts

When accounts become delinquent they
are followed up by a series of letters that
are most effective and yet not too strong,
until the last resort, when it becomes
necessary to transfer it to our Collection

Agency, which we try not to do if it can
be avoided.

Our adoption of the "Golden Rule"
method has enabled us to solve most of
the problems and make our business more
interesting, more profitable and one that
will scatter more happiness than any oth-
er line.*

To sum it all up, we are in the great-
est profession on earth where Nature
herself creeps in at all times to help us
serve, and in being thus favored, it is up
to us to do all in our power to make
more people happy and spread the doc-
trine of service to our fellow men. We
as florists can feel that our mission has
made and will continue to make, sun-
shine for all mankind, and if we give the
best that isj in us we are doing our part
toward making this world of ours a nobler
and better land to live in.

Cincinnati, 0.

Trade Notes

Oct. 16. — Frost has killed off most
outdoor stuff and the Queen City market
and business have now a more wholesome
appearance for wholesalers and growers
than it has known in months. Since
early Spring, both growers and wholesal-
ers have suffered from an over-production
and this frost which came rather as a
surprise and caught almost all outdoor
flower growers with little protection, has
been the first relief.

Myriads of Dahlias, Cosmos, Coxcomb,
Asters, late Gladioli, Feverfew, Zinnias
and early Chrysanthemums were caught
in the debacle and in one fell swoop, the
flower market was raised from the depths
of despond to a feeling of optimism. In-
dependent growers and amateurs were the
principal losers, for the professional
growers and greenhouse men were pre-
pared in most instances and their losses
were comparatively insignificant. Whole-
salers report that the effect of the frost
on the revival of their business has been
the most surprising in their experience.
The Indian Summer this year has been
longer and warmer than for many years
and the frost this Fall was the latest in
the memory of the oldest inhabitant. Or-
dinarily there are light frosts in Septem-
ber which render the growing season well
balanced, but this year, September was
conspicuous as a month of strenuous heat
both day and night and the frost when
it finally came, was a light freeze in
which the thermometer went as low as 27
deg.

This market began to receive late 'Mums
this week and some beautiful specimens
from local growers are displayed. They
include glorious large whites, yellows and
pinks, some of them the equal of any
that have been shipped in from California.
Supplies of Delphinium were also received
in good condition, but the Roses are not
up to the standard of this vicinity, being
off color and lacking in durability.

Large stocks of good Carnations and

Easter Lilies were also received the past
week.

Orders from florists, both in the city and
in the Cincinnati trade territory were
moderate last week, but this week have
shown indications of unusual volume. This
will be a big week of retail sales, as busi-
ness places are decorating elaborately for
the Direct Mail Order convention which
is expected to attract more than 10,000
delegates and their wives and daughters.
Numbers of social affairs will be given,
in addition to which the week will see the
opening of the receptions and other func-
tions of the social elite. Several society
weddings are scheduled and the floral ar-
rangements for these will be costly to a
degree.

Orders for greens and supplies from
florists have been heavy, the business of
filling orders for ferns, leucothoe and plu-
mosus being especially encouraging. Prices
also are more hopeful. Carnations were
selling freely at $3 to $4 a 100, jumping
from $1.50 and $2 last week, and $1 for
the week previous. Chrysanthemums are
selling at $2 to $4 a doz. for choice and
from 5c. to 18c. each for the common to
average stock. Rose sales were dull, due [
to unfavorable weather for development
of buds, but with the return of sunshiny
weather at the close of last week, the sup- |
ply of homegrown Roses will be abundant. '

Cincinnati Growers Meet

The regular meetings of the Cin-
cinnati District of the National Flower
Growers Association have been held
monthly, although Secretary J. Imholte
has been too busy to issue a monthly re-
port. Several new members have been
added. The matter which has taken up
most of the time is that of advertising.
This is a serious proposition, and after
considerable discussion and investigation,
it has been agreed between the members
of the association and the commission
men of Cincinnati to deduct one-half of
one per cent from the receipts of all
growers shipping into the Cincinnati mar-
ket, before making returns on goods sold
for their account. While the association
will not be able to reach the grower who
sells direct to the retail man or through
the markets, it is felt that all will remit
one-half of one per cent of all sales made
through these channels.

At the meeting Oct. 12, the growers de-
cided to give a luncheon on the 18th for
the purpose of getting all of the florists to-
gether and discuss the advertising propo-
sition more fully, and it is hoped a large
crowd will attend this meeting.

Jos. M. Hill of Richmond, Ind., who was
present, extended an invitation to the
florists to visit his range the latter part
of this month which was gladly accepted.

Buy to last— it pays

¥3 ead this letter from Gallivan Brothers of
-*-*- Holyoke, Massachusetts: "We have been
using "Fibrotta" vases for the past 21 years — ■
one or two doing duty at the present time that
we purchased 21 years ago — some service, I'll
say — we find they are much more durable than
crockery vases . . ." Isn't that the type of
service you have been looking for ? Isn't it a
fine way to cut down expenses ?

Not only are "Fibrotta" vases durable, but
they are handsome. They attract trade. "Fi-
brotta" vases set off" your cut flowers as no other
container can. "Fibrotta" — the seamless fibre
ware resembles polished mahogany. It retains
its attractive appearance. If desired, it can also
be furnished in white or green enamel.

For displaying cut flowers "Fibrotta" vases
are exceptionally effective. "Fibrotta" vases
are non-conductors of heat and cold. They
keep water cool. They do not chill the water
when the flowers are placed in your refrigerator

overnight.' They cannot rust or stain wood-
work. They are not easily broken as are earthen-
ware.

It is a notable feature (and an important one)
that cut flowers if left standing in "Fibrotta"
vases will last longer when received by customers
than if they are kept in a metal vase. The rust
which inevitably forms in a metal vase deposits
on the stems of the flowers. The flowers wilt
much sooner because of this peculiar fact than
if kept in "Fibrotta" vases.

"Fibrotta" saucers for flower pots are another
important item. They cannot sweat, stain or
scratch woodwork. You will also
find a profitable market if you offer
them for sale to your customers for
their own use at home. Write
Cordley & Hayes,
13 Leonard Street,
New York City, for
further details.

The Market

Oct. 17. — There are seasonably
large arrivals in the market this week
of all kinds of flowers grown under glass.
The arrivals of outdoor grown flowers
are fast drawing to a close. On Friday
and Saturday of last week there was a
considerable increase in the demand and
the prices of a few items of stock, espe-
cially Roses, of the No. 2 grade showed
a moderate advance. On Monday of
this week the demand fell off, presum-
ably because the pleasant weather of
Sunday called so many people out of the
city, and the retail florists had not been
able to dispose of the stock which they
purchased Saturday. Today, Tuesday,
shows a still further weakening in the
demand, and consequently a tendency to
a decline in prices on most items of stock
and, actually a sharp falling off on sev-
eral items, such as No. 2 Grade Roses,
Lilies, Lily of the Valley, Oattleyas and
'Mums.

American Beauty Roses are in large
supply ; the demand for these is weak.
Special grade blooms are seDing at 20c.
to 50c. each, and the other grades_ at
proportionate prices, but these prices
are maintained with difficulty, and un-
less the demand increases, can hardly
hold through the week. Other Roses
are in seasonable supply. They are meet-
ing with only a medium demand. Top
grade blooms are bringing 8c. to 10c.
each in general, but choice selections of
Hadley, Premier and Crusader and Mrs.
Russell are realizing 15c, and Key 35c.
No. 2 Grade Roses are averaging $2 per
100.

The larger arrivals of Carnations are
meeting with only a medium demand at
prices ranging from $1 to $2 and, in the
case of the choicest blooms, $3 per 100.

Cattleyas are in larger supply, but
owing to the lack of active demand, they
are selling at 25c. to 60c. each, with oc-
casional sales of choice selections at 75c.
Lilies are meeting with a much smaller
demand, probably on account of the
larger arrivals of white 'Mums in the
market, and prices have declined sharply
to $12 to $15 per 100. Lily of the Val-
ley, too, is going out more slowly at lower
prices, namely $1 to $5 per 100, and
occasionally $6. Gardenias continue to
be in rather small supply, and are sell-
ing at $2 to $5 per doz. in response to a
moderate demand.

'Mums are fast becoming the dominant
factor in the market. The arrivals are
much larger than last week and embrace
a greatly increased number of varieties,
both of the large flowered kinds and of
the small flowered varieties which are
sold in bunches. Though the demand for
this seasonable flower is fairly large,
there is a tendency towards lower prices.
The large flowered varieties are realizing
from $1 to $4 in general, and occasion-
ally in the case of extra choice blooms
of preferred varieties, $5 and $6 per doz.
Bunch 'Mums are bringing 25c. to 75c.
per bunch.

The arrivals of Dahlias, Gladioli, Bu-
patorium, Delphinium, Marigolds, Zin-
nias, Tritoma, and other outdoor flowers
are no longer large enough to be any
considerable factor in the market, and
are selling for the most part at buyers'
offers. Cosmos at this time is evidently
in full crop; the market is deluged with
this flower. Only a small per cent of
the arrivals can be disposed of, even at

a very low figure. The rest inevitably
goes to waste.

There is a steady supply of White
Bouvardia, an increasing supply of
Snapdragon, and of double and single
Violets, all of which are meeting with a
moderate demand at quoted prices.

Sales of boughs of Oak foliage have
come to be large, and there is a strong
demand for bunches of Bittersweet ber-
ries and Physalis.

The general run of hardy and indoor
grown greens are not meeting with a
very active demand at quoted prices.

F. T. D. Convention

Those from New York City and vi-
cinity who attended the recent F. T. D.
Convention at Baltimore, Md., speak very
warmly in praise of this Convention, it
being the largest and best ever held by
the F. T. D. Satisfaction is expressed
also by many, at the election of Edward
Sceery of Paterson, New Jersey, as presi-
dent of the association.

A. F. T. A. Activities

Last Spring the A. F. T. A. of New
York sent out to all its subscribers, lit-
erature containing a call for a mass
meeting, which was held on April 21, and
also the illustrated advertisements which
the Association had planned to use in the
Autumn publicity campaign in the New
York and Brooklyn papers. Under date
of Oct. 18, 1922, the association has sent
out to every branch of the trade, the fol-
lowing letter accompanied by a complete
list of the past and present subscribers
to the A. F. T. Association representing
the metropolitan district:
"Dear Sir:

"At the last regular meeting it was de-
cided to immediately spend the last cent
in the treasury on a five-week campaign
with advertisements appearing in eight
leading New York city papers, beginning
Thursday, Oct. 19, 1922.

"This leads to the question: Are you go-
ing to let the work die when you, we, all
of us, need it the most? Remember, that
it rests with you, as to whether this co-
operative advertising is to continue to ap-
pear in the New York papers, or not.

"Less business and lower prices this
season will be most disastrous to you, and
all of us. Just consider this and remem-
ber: Advertising pays, and will increase
your business. Don't you want this in-
crease '!

"The campaign now seen in the papers
has been paid for; now it's entirely up
to you to finance the future ones. So send
in your cheque, small if you must, but
big if you can. In any case, do your
share that the Allied Florists Associa-
tion, representing the Metropolitan Dis-
trict, can keep to the front our wonder-
ful slogan of "Say it with Flowers.
"Yours for successful cooperation,
Allied Florists Association op N. Y.

Trade Division! He knows!"

his guest in Baltimore also during this
convention.

The wholesale cut flower market is now
quite fully supplied with all kinds of
seasonable flowers, in quality, good, bad
and indifferent, but we had the pleasure
of noting recently, some of the finest pink
and bronze pink Snapdragon we have
seen this season, at Frank Golsner's on
the Cut Flower Exchange floor of the
Coogan Bldg., corner of 6th ave. and 26th.

Edward Lehman, for many years
connected with his mother, sister and
brothers in the retail flower business at
292 ^ Grand St., until his health failed
him about two years ago, died on Sunday,
Oct. 15. Mr. Lehman was about 40 years
of age. Funeral services and interment
were on Wednesday, Oct. 18. Mr. Leh-

man is survived by a wife, two children
and two brothers.

Last year the Rose known as Mrs.
Charles Russell, which was so justly pop-
ular for many years, was little seen in
the New York market, but we are glad to
note that this season James Rutig & Co.
of 43 West 18th st. are receiving a regu-

The Market

Oct. 17. — Conditions on the whole-
sale market are fast assuming a lively dis-
position. The crisp, cool weather is all
that can be desired, though the weather
bureau announces that Winter is gal-
loping this way. There are snow and ice
in Wyoming and the Dakotas; all outdoor
stock in these sections and as far east
as Iowa is gone and Chicago is looked to
for the major portion of the supply. The
market for the past week was remarkable
for the rapid change from a period of
great plenty to one of extreme scarcity.
There was very little stock of any kind,
and the demand, though light, was handled
only with difficulty. The opening market
this week continues along the same trend,
but there is slightly more stock. While
there is a good business it cannot as yet
be called heavy; if it was, there would
not be enough stock to meet it. The pass-
ing of the outdoor supply as a rule leaves
a void on the market until all greenhouse
crops are on in fulL sway. This is the
period we are passing through this week.
In another week the Chrysanthemum sup-

ply will be large after which all other
crops follow in due course which in-
sures a good supply of everything through
the remainder of the season. There are
enough Eoses of good quality and of a
•wide value as to price; from $4 per 100
for shorts to $16 for long fancies are the
prevailing figures. Carnations are so far
not plentiful; all that comes in meet with
ready sale at from1 $2 to $4 per 100.

The Chrysanthemum supply is good as
a rule, by the middle of October. It is
not so this season, and had it not been
for the large amount of California stock
shipped in there would have been a de-
cided scarcity. There are not so many
of the early varieties grown by the local
growers as formerly, and those who are
growing this sort report them later than
usual. Much of the second early varieties
will be ready the end of the present
week, and then there will be plenty for
several weeks to come. The local stock is
selling at from $3 to $4 per doz. The large
stock from the coast brings from $4 to
$6 and some as high as $7 per doz.
While these prices may seem high it
leaves but little margin of profit for the
growers; the express from the coast and
the allowance for loss (as in the case of
delayed shipments) have both been heavy
this season. There are some Pompons of-
fered in small quantities and all of these
are in good demand. There is enough
Valley at from $7 to $8 per 100. Orchids,
mainly Cattleyas, are getting more plenti-
ful and are selling at from $1 to $1.50
each. There are some Sweet Peas, Calen-
dulas, Snapdragons and Cosmos. There is
an abundance of ferns and all other green
goods, such as Boxwood, Galax, Leucothoe
and Southern Smilax, are coming in
heavily. Part of the supply is going into
storage.

News Notes

Robt. F. Dilger has one acre under
glass in the 5800 block on N. Clark st.
He is a veteran vegetable grower and de-
votes about ten acres to outdoor vege-
tables. Mr. Dilger has two brothers in
the florist trade, one in Milwaukee, Wis.,
and another at Waukegan. He has often
been indticed by them to go into flower

growing, but likes vegetable growing the
best. He is at present planting most of
his houses in Grand Rapids Lettuce for
the holiday crop.

J. M. Cochrane has his greenhouses in
Pullman well filled with choice stock. He
is growing some fine Cyclamens that will
be just right for the holiday trade. Pot
grown Chrysanthemums of the Caprice
varieties are also a specialty of his.
Primula obconica, Poinsettias, Boston
ferns and Solanum Clevelandi are all
w7ell grown.

The Ernst Wienhoeber Co., on Elm St.,
are in trouble over a new electric sign
recently installed in front of its place of
business. Residents on the street have
complained to the city authorities that the
light was a violation of the rights of
the people on the street which has always
been a quiet residential one. To them
the light smacks too much of commercial-
ism.

Mme. Berta Barta, recently from the
School of Horticulture in Budapest, has
secured employment in the greenhouses of
Lincoln Park. Rudolph Schiele is pre-
paring for a splendid Chrysanthemum ex-
hibit in the conservatories there next
month.

Hugo Carlson, who purchased the W.
H. Hilton flower store at 1375 East Fifty-
fifth st., reports business good in his sec-
tion of the city.

The American Greenhouse Mfg. Co. re-
ports two recent contracts, one for four
steel frame greenhouses, 30ft.x300ft. for
the Princeton Gardens, Princeton, Ind.,
and an addition of five houses 29ft.x300ft.
to the Weiant Greenhouses of Newark, 0.,
all steel frame construction.

The Uptown Chicago Exposition opens
Monday and will continue for the week.

Peter Pearson, who is in charge of the
department of floriculture, is doing some
good publicity work for the exhibition.
All the new flowers to be on exhibition
there were mentioned in the Chicago
Sunday Tribune, together with a photo
of Mr. Pearson himself.

The next regular meeting of the Com-
mercial Flower Growers of Chicago will
be held on Thursday evening, Oct. 19, at
6 p.m., at the Sovereign Hotel, 6200 Ken-
more ave., corner of Granville and Sheri-
dan rd. Dinner will be served. After
dinner the entire membership and friends
will go in a body to the Broadway arm-
ory to be the guests of the Uptown Chi-
cago Exposition.

The Foley Greenhouse Mfg. Co. is mov-
ing this week to its new quarters in For-
est Park. All modern machinery has been
installed and material is being delivered
to the warehouses. The office building
and equipment is modern and up to date.
Regardless of the difficulties the com-
pany has been subjected to since the fire
in January last, they report a good sea-
son's business.

Use Your Head

A grower he digs him a great many holes
In his benches, when planting out Roses.

But to make the plants grow is much harder,
you know,
Than the average layman^supposes.

Fertilizer is high, yet he still has to buy,
And there's one thing can rightly be said, sir:

All his bills go unpaid, or are greatly delayed,
Unless the wholesaler works with his head,

The Market

Oct. 17. — It must be the weather
that is responsible for the quietude in
the flower trade these last few days.
Golden, hazy, lazy days, just warm
enough to entice one outdoors for a
last stroll, to fall in raptures over the
ravishing, glorious display of color
spread over woods and meadow. And
the front and back yards, too, are still
flaming with gorgeous patches of many-
hued Dahlias, Zinnias and Asters ; Jack
Frost has set his blackening fingers only
here or there. There is no mistake about
it. the retail stores have felt a falling
off of trade and, outside of the regular
funeral trade, have at present no reason
to complain of being overworked. Maybe
it is a good thing that it is so, for with
the rather more than usually restricted
arrivals of flowers in the wholesale mar-
kets, prices for flowers would be soar-
ing. As it is, supply and demand are
well balanced, prices are fair and reason-
able and hardly any stock has to be car-
ried over from day to day.

Roses of every description are in good
demand and are steadily improving in
quality. Splendid stock of extra length
is beginning to show up, especially Co-
lumbia, Premier and Crusader. Ameri-

Philadelphia

The popular song around florist circles
should be :

Pahson, ef yo' wan' to do good,
Jest pray for Jack Fros' to come by !

Oct. 16. — Meanwhile, Dahlias are pour-
ing in as strong as ever and mostly good
stock at that, while Chrysanthemums
are getting fairly plentiful. Such early
varieties as Chrysolora, Tints of Gold,
Polly Rose, Gloria, Pacific, etc., are seen
and new varieties come in almost every
day.

Sweet Peas are arriving and are good,
but will not keep in the warm weather.
Lilies are good and bring firm prices.

Roses are not so plentiful. There seems
to be an effort on the part of the grow-
ers to hold them back for Thanksgiving
Day. Today certain varieties of Roses
were hard to get.

What good Carnations are arriving
find a ready sale, but as a general rule
there are too many shorts, for which the
returns are small. One-tenth the num-
ber of long stem blooms would bring the
same money. The senders will prob-
ably find themselves off crop when the
right time for Carnation arrives, which

is not yet. In spite of everything, we
m'aintain that there is a proper season
for all things.

Growers — Attention

We watched one wholesaler up-
packing a shipment of 'Mums the other
day. They had been piled and squeezed
into the box with their heads done up
in curl papers and no bracing for the
stalks. Result, the petals were falling
out when they were unpacked, and some
of the heads were broken. The flowers
had once been excellent — away beyond
the ordinary. But they weren't worth
much when they arrived. Now that
grower will get an awful shock when he
receives his returns; he will find that
money saved on packing is money thrown
away — to say nothing of lost profits.

here Oct. 16, Mr. Niessen stated, was the
biggest of any day in the year.

A trip around the market disclosed sev-
eral things worth noting. Sun Glow
Chrysanthemums at Philadelphia Cut
Flower Co., for one. Berger Bros, had
some fine Early Snow and Oconta. Jack
Berger had some Delphinium belladonna
and Snapdragon that we have not seen
beaten anywhere. Mignonette and Calla
Lilies were the novelties at Wm. J.
Baker's.

Edward Reid was expected to return
from the West Oct. 18.

The S. S. Pennock Co. reports a fine
shipping trade and Philadelphia orders
coming in as fast as they can be handled.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. report Balti-
more orders exceeded expectations. The
Philadelphia office has been kept busy all
week entertaining visitors. This firm is
preparing an exhibit for the Scranton
(Pa.) Flower Show, Nov. 7-10.

A banquet is planned to take place
either Oct. 21 or 28, at which H. Bayers-
dorfer & Co. expect to invite their own
baseball team and the captains of all the
other teams in the league — including A.
M. Campbell, the donor of the cup, and
President Walter Davis. The cup will
be formally presented at this time.

Nathan Miller is now with the Phila-
delphia Growers Cut Flower Market, as-
sistant to Joe Kennedy.

The Evergreen Supply Co. reports
everything in good shape. Their busi-
ness is coming along as they had hoped.

S. S. Ridley of Wilmington, Del.,
opened a Philadelphia branch at 34th and

The Market

A protracted, rainy spell hurt the
outside stock considerably and the ar-
rivals for the week-end were poor indeed,
Business generally has improved and only
a hard freezing is needed to get things
back to par.

Roses are the leading flower at pres-
ent. Although there are some excellent
Cosmos and some mediocre Dahlias arriv-
ing, the Rose is predominant. Chrysan-
themums are in better supply, although
there is not such a strong demand for
them. Carnations get better each week
and longer stems are evident.

Delphinium and Gypsophila are in de-
mand, there not being enough at pres-
ent. Valley is also scarce and brings
a good price. The first Hudson River
Violets have arrived.

Greens are excellent, especially plumo-
sus. There is no change in the plant
situation. Cyclamen and Primroses be-
ing the only things worth while.

The Fuel Situation

Of special interest to the Ohio
Flower Growers is the minimum profit set
by the coal administrator, C. J. Neal,

October 21, 1922.

Ohio lump. The $9 figure was opera-
tive up to Oct. 13. The price reduc-
tions will be seen to run from 35c. to
$1.45, depending on the grade of coal and
the district in which it is delivered.

Retail dealers delivering coal in Lake-
wood, East Cleveland and elsewhere in
the suburbs will be allowed $2.30 a ton
gross profit, making the price to consum-
ers 45c. cheaper than in Cleveland.

In Akron the highest charges will be
$7.32 and $7.76 for Ohio lump, includ-
ing freight. In Youngstown the schedule
calls for $7.20 and $7.67, including freight.

The price schedule applies to all bitum-
inous and anthracite coal and coke sold at
retail in Ohio and no retailer will be al-
lowed to make charges in excess of the
rate fixed by the administrator. Viola-
tors will be prosecuted.

Under the new price fixing the dealer
must make a 75c. reduction per ton if
the consumer hauls coal himself. Many
consumers have held off buying, expect-
ing lower rates and only about one-fourth
the normal amount of coal has been de-
livered for this season.

It is imperative that florists get the
supply ordered so dealers will be taxed
to capacity.

The Horticultural Society

The Cleveland Horticultural Society
held its regular monthly meeting at the
club rooms Thursday evening, Oct. 12,
with President Brydon in the chair.

The flower show report from Mr. Rich-
ards was especially interesting; the loose
ends are gradually being tied up and an
excellent show is promised.

Carl Hagenbnrger gave a very inter-
esting talk on Asters and Dahlias that
was timely and full of good suggestions.

A SUCCESSFUL CONSERVATORY

That Led to Building a Greenhouse

Last winter we designed and built this V-Bar conservatory for
Mr. Myron L. Upham, at Bala, Pa.

He was so enthusiastic over the satisfaction and pleasure he has
had from his conservatory that he has just given us an order to build
a two-compartment sanitary, V-Bar Greenhouse in his garden at
the rear. When this is completed, he will not have to stop garden-
ing operations with the first frost, but can enjoy raising his own
flowers throughout the winter months.

We shall be glad to give you whatever information you desire regarding
the location or building of a sanitary V-Bar conservatoiy or greenhouse.

which, by the way, have an area of 20
acres, since the sharp frost of Saturday,
Oct. 14. He expressed himself, however,
as being well satisfied with the results of
the season, not only in the sale of blooms,
but also especially in the placing of an
unusually large number of orders for
tubers for Spring delivery. The repre-
sentative of The Exchange had the op-
portunity from week to week, during the
Dahlia season, to note the splendid blooms
of the choicer varieties of Dahlias from
the Underbill Dahlia Gardens, at Samuel
C. Gilbert's, wholesale florist, 43 West
18th St.

Among the callers in the wholesale flow-
er district this week, we met and had
the pleasure of shaking hands with Louis
F. Carriclo, the well known orchid spe-
cialist of Mamaroneck, N. Y.

Calling recently on M. A. Bowe, 332
5th ave., we found him and Kenneth Bowe
and the rest of the force busy as usual.
Among the recent large orders was one
for a casket cover and a number of
wreaths, and sprays for the funeral of
the late Edward Reynolds, Superintend-
ent of the Engineers Club at 32 West 40th
st. Mr. Bowe also executed an order for
a number of bunches of flowers for the
meeting of the Eastern Stars at the
Hotel Pennsylvania on Thursday night,
Oct. 12. Beside the larger orders, not a
few other funeral and steamer orders are
keeping the store force busy.

On Oct. 14., occupants of a light deliv-
ery truck owned by S. Masur, florist, of
256 Fulton St., Brooklyn, and in which
were Mrs. Wilhelmina Masur and her son,
Joseph, and which was being operated by
Charles Gates as chauffeur, crashed
through an iron fence in attempting to
avoid a collision wreck, in the areaway of
an apartment house at 74 Henry st. For-
tunately, beyond being badly shaken up
and bruised, the occupants sustained no
ill effects from their experience.

The Garden Club of America will give

posed to send it to other large cities

age of the local garden clubs.

can Beauty has shown more activity
than for some time.

Chrysanthemums are becoming really
noticeable in the market, today even ac-
cumulating a little. This may be ac-
counted for, because the only Chrysan-
themums offered, just now, are all white,
being almost exclusively Oconto. Very
few of the early yellow ones are left and
others have not yet appeared. Whatever
the reason, the Chrysanthemum situation,
so far, is different from other seasons.
Unaka, Polly Rose, Glory Pacific" and
a few Pompons are for sale.

The supply of Carnations just about
fills a fair demand and prices are good
for this time of the year. Selected
grades make from 4c. to 6c, while ordi-
nary stock realizes 3c. to 4c. without any
trouble.

Asters are still present in small quan-
tity and sell so-so, at lc. to 3c. If there
is any quality to them it takes a micro-
scope to see it. Once in a while some-
thing that looks like a Gladiolus can be
noticed. Longiflorum Lilies of fine qual-
ity are becoming more prominent than
they have been for a long time, but their
real popularity is yet to come. There
are small supplies of Bouvardias, Del-
phiniums and Lilium speeiosum. Gar-
denias are scarce and in little demand.

Of Cattleyas there is a rather good
supply of labiata and some Gaskelli-
anas and hybrids. The demand is fair.
Enough for all purposes, of Lily of the
Valley is to be had, and the same can be
said of the different sorts of greens.
Gypsophila elegans is in over-supply,

much of it from outdoors, is of small
account. Of Bachelor Buttons, Marigold,
Strawflower. Cosmos, etc., there is
enough to fill the. usual demands. Sweet
Peas are fairly good and bring as high
as 3e. for the best. The supply is rather
small. Pansies find takers at once and
so do the few Violets that are offered.

In pot plants we find the advance
guard of Chrysanthemums, mostly of the
Bon-Ton variety. Very fine lots of the
various sorts of Boston ferns are to be
found and they are selling well. Cycla-
men, Begonias, Ficus, Dracaenas, etc.,
are also offered.

News Notes

At the next monthly meeting, in Horti-
ticultural Hall, of the Gardeners and
Florists Club of Boston, Oct. 24 (one
week later than usual), Albert R. Jenks,
proprietor of Middlesex Fruit Farms,
West Acton, Mass., will lecture on fruit
culture, special reference being given to
Apples. There will be exhibits of Apples,
as well as other fruits and of seasonable
flowers. Nov. 24 will be devoted to or-
chids, and Dec. 19 will be poultry night.

Thomas Curley, West Medford, Mass.,
announces the arrival at his home of a
healthy baby girl, on Sunday, Oct. 8.

John Jansky, Jr., the son of John
Jansky, dealer in florists5 supplies and
manufacturer of wire designs, is making
preparations for a trip to Germany and
Austria. The young man, who is associ-
ated with his father in business, may be
depended on to keep his eyes peeled to
notice what they are doing over there in
the way of novelties in florists wares.

Rocco Zeparo, Winter st. greenhouses,
Arlington, brought to the Flower Ex-
change Market the first Oconto and Sun
Glow Chrysanthemums of this season. He
is to be congratulated upon the fine qual-
ity of his flowers, for which he realized
$5 per doz. The first Polly Rose Chrys-
anthemum in the Flower Exchange Mar-
ket came from Alex. Magnuson, Man-
chester, Mass.

George Hetzel, foreman to C. B. John-
son, Carnation grower of Wobum, had
the surprise of his life on Monday, Oct.
9, when two little girls arrived at his
home. They were joyfully introduced as
sisters to the little family of four girls
and two boys, making now a brood of
eight. George just looked and looked;
then he laughed and got busy hunting up
little worsted socks, bibs and spoons.

Louis Smith, a well known florist of
Tewksbury, Mass., and William Chandler,
son of J. K. Chandler, also of Tewksbury,
met with a serious accident last Thursday,
Oct. 12, while returning home in their
motor truck. They were crossing the
electric car track when a Lowell bound
car hit the machine, demolishing the rear
part and throwing the two men onto the
road, as well as two other men who were
riding on the truck. Louis Smith was
taken to the State Hospital in Tewksbury
in a dazed condition, and has not, accord-
ing to late reports, regained full conscious-
ness. William Chandler was badly shaken
up and more or less injured, although
not seriously. The accident happened
just at dusk, in front of John Gales'
garage.

Retail Notes

Thos. F. Galvin, Inc., 1 Park st., re-
ports a more generous feeling on the part
of their customers. By degrees these
seem to be allowing themselves some of
the better flowers which they have been
forced to forego because of various cur-
tailing methods. American Beauty Roses
have done nicely, being of fine quality and
at the prevailing prices, never failing to
meet their purpose. The same condition
may be found with orchids, Gardenias,
Lily of the Valley and Violets. The new
Rose Commonwealth has become a pro-
nounced favorite and if the present qual-
ity, strength and beauty are maintained,
it will no doubt be a splendid addition to
the Rose family.

■ The firm's new store at Copley square
has been restocked with some wonderful
Cibotiums, which display themselves par-
ticularly well, being adapted to the archi-
tecture. This new location has developed
wonderfully, being adjacent to the social
centers and on a busy thoroughfare. This
business has been extended to capacity
for two additional months, the return
therefrom having justified the change of
location and the expense of a high class
store. Further addition to the firm's de-
livery service has been effected by the
purchase of a new Reo truck.

Penn reports a smashing wedding
month to date for October — the largest
number of bridal orders ever received.

On Columbus Day, Oct. 12, he had some
32 orders.

Among the most notable for this date
were the house and church decorations
for the Horne-PheLan nuptials, when
Miss Eleanor Home, of 320 Walnut ave.,
Roxbury, was united in marriage to Cap-
tain Frank Phelan. of the Governor's
staff. The Church of St. Mary of the
Angels was beautifully' decorated for
the occasion with white Chrysanthe-
mums, yellow Chrysanthemums, Autumn
leaves and palms, while archways were
arranged in the main center aisle with
Chrysanthemums, ribbon and Autumn
foliage, with the same combinations on
the pews. The altar was decorated with
Autumn leaves, Crotons, palms, Southern
Snrilax, white and' yellow Chrysanthe-
mums. House was decorated with yellow
Chrysanthemums and Southern Smilax,
while the receiving room was banked
with Southern Smilax and gold baskets
of yellow Chrysanthemums, aisle posts
of Chrysanthemums and white ribbons.
The bride's bouquet was composed of
white Bouvardia and white orchids
with showers of Lily of the Valley ;
maid of honor bouquet was composed
of Croton leaves and Farleyense ferns
with showers of Crotons. Two of the
four bridesmaids carried bouquets com-
posed of yellow Chrysanthemums, Tri-
toma, Calendulas and Farleyense ; the
other two carried bouquets of red Glad-
ioli, Farleyense and Croton showers. It
was a most unusual combination of flow-
ers and yet one of the most attractive of
recent weddings. Fred Maxwell super-
vised the decorations in both instances.

men will take splendid care of their
friends on that day.

It has been understood since the June
meeting of the Chicago Florists Club that
the November meeting was to be held at
Maywood. At the last meeting of the
club this was confirmed and in the mean-
time the Maywood florists began to make
preparation for the entertainmeut of
their friends. To do this they formed a
temporary organization with Hans Jepson,
president; Paul Weiss, secretary; Henry
YVhermann, treasurer. At a meeting on
Oct. 9, the following committees Avere ap-
pointed: Entertainment and refreshment,
Win. Collatz; "Transportation, Andrew
Benson; Advertising, Hans Jepson.

These committees have been working
hard and have made much progress, a mu-
nificent fund having been contributed to
defray all expenses. The only expense to
visitors is their transportation to May-
wood. At the North Western Railway
station, the Elgin & Aurora R. R. and the
Oak Park Elevated R. R. all trains will
be met by autos to take visitors to the
greenhouses. It is x^roposed to hold the
meeting and exhibition in the large ship-
ping room of the A. F. Amling Co.,
which is large enough to shelter a county
convention. It will be handsomely dec-
orated with flags and evergreens, and a
platform for speakers will be built. The
large tables used for grading and ship-
ping will be used to hold all the good
things to eat the committee is providing.
The ice boxes at the Amling establish-
ment are ample and beverage seekers will
not go away dissatisfied.

Every Mayw-ood grower has promised to
exhibit something and there will be a
tour of inspection of all the greenhouse
establishments. All the new Roses are
grown at Maywood and Commonwealth
will be on view in all its loveliness. Then
there are Hans Jepson's Chrysanthemums.
Prominent men will be invited and grow-
ers of novelties everywhere will be asked
to contribute to the exhibition.

The second meeting of the Maywood or-
ganization was held Monday afternoon,
in the offices of the A. F. Amling Co.,
with Hans Jepson presiding. There were
14 of the Maywood florists present, and
T. E. Waters and Jas. Morton of the
Chicago Florists Club.

A. F. Amling was selected as toast-
master for the Nov. 2 occasion, and it
was proposed that the mayor of the vil-
lage of Maywood be invited to make the
opening address. It was also decided
that badges should be provided, and regis-
tration books opened so that every visitor
should have a badge bearing his name.
This will enable all to become better ac-
quainted with each other. The affair
promises to be a notable meeting, and
outside of the S. A. F. conventions .will

be possibly the largest gathering of flo-
rists ever held in any section of the
country, the F. T. D. meetings and all
State conventions not excepted. Arrange-
ments are being made to entertain from
400 to 500 guests.

At the greenhouses of the Weiss-Meyer
Co., the new white Rose Medina is mak-
ing an excellent showing. It has splendid
substance and finish. Commonwealth, is
doing well and making so many friends
that it will be planted extensively in
Maywood next season.

Worcester, Mass. — Owing to their
rapidly increasing business, the Quarrey
Floral Co. have opened a branch store
in the Worcester Market, which is well
equipped with bulbs, plants and flowers
for home decorations.

Fall River, Mass. — Charles Allen's
hothouse, in the rear of 22 Florida St.,
was totally destroyed by fire. The loss
is estimated by Mr. Allen at $2000.

Dtj Bois, Pa. — Lerch & Ohls are now

making their first cutting of Carnations
and Lettuce from their newest greenhouse,
located in Sandy township near the B. &
S. crossing. It boasts of covering the
largest area under glass, also of being
one of the most completely equipped green-
houses in this section of the State.

Sewickley (Pa.) Hort. Society

In our report of the recent Dahlia
show given by this society in connection
with the Garden Club of Alleghany Coun-
ty, one or two misstatements inadvertent-
ly crept in, the principal one being that
the name of Henry Gibson was given as
secretary, whereas that office is held by
John Carman. Mr. Gibson also disclaims
the meed of tribute we gave him in con-
nection with this show, and wishes the
statement made that it would be unfair
to single out any one member of the show
committee as deserving of special credit,
as each man connected therewith put in
a 100 per cent, effort.

city. The following comprises the leading Chicago Greenhouse Architects, Heating Engineers, Ventilation Experts, Lumber Dealers, and Greenhouse Builders' Supplies.

No Strings Tied To It

You know quite as well as we do, that
building materials are going up, and likely
to go higher, long before they will be
lower.

You also know that those who most look
ahead, get ahead the most. Those of
you, therefore, who buy your houses at
the present prices, will save a good bit
of money over those who wait until Jan-
uary or February before placing an order.

Because of this fact, we are right now,
booking more orders for future erection,
than ever in the history of our business.
Never have we had so much business in
the month of September and October.
To give you a chance to make an extra
good buy, we have mailed you a special
offer.

An offer with absolutely no strings tied
to it. If this offer is not in your hand
by now, drop us a card at once and we
will promptly send a duplicate.

What we Know about Boston Ferns

By Ralph C. Benedict, Resident In-
vestigator, Brooklyn Botanical Garden

Editor's Note : There can probably be no contra-
diction of the statement that the Boston Fern and its
varieties constitute one of the most important groups
of house plants in existence. Yet we find but little
discussion of their merits, uses, requirements and
promotion in the current trade literature. The Ex-
change welcomes, therefore, the opportunity of pre-
senting a series of articles on this important subject,
by one of its closest and most enthusiastic, most ex-
perienced students. In addition to his years of in-
vestigation with the magnificent collection of the
Brooklyn Botanic Garden — perhaps the most com-
plete in the world — Mr. Benedict has studied Bostons
in the greenhouse, the shop and the home. Yet he
realizes how much there is yet to be learned, and in
pointing out these problems he is calling for the opin-
ions and experiences of those who handle ferns in a
practical way. whether commercially or otherwise.
The Exchange hopes that its readers will come for-
ward freely and frankly with the facts they have
learned — to which the paper will gladly give all pos-
sible space and attention.

I — What is the Best Boston Fern ?— Some

General Considerations and the Grower's

Viewpoint

The answers to the question, What Is the Best
Boston Fern, depend upon several points of view. The
fern grower will have different preferences than the
retail seller ; the fern specialist will see the problem
differently from the general grower who wants ferns
mainly as a rotation crop in connection with differ-
ent flowering plants ; the requirements of the layman
purchaser will be different still.

There are probably 50 named varieties of Boston
fern under cultivation today in the United States,
each with some point of excellence. Can aDy one of
these be adjudged the best? Has any single variety
such all around adaptability that it may lay claim
to the title of champion?

One thing is certain. There is as yet no such gen-
eral agreement among florists. I recently returned
from a trip which included visits to Washington,
Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia fern growers. Within
a month I also visited florists near Boston and New-
York. Most of the growers seen have introduced one
or more forms, often with their own names attached.
Naturally allowance must be made for enthusiasm in
such cases.

From the grower's point of view, the "champion"
fern must possess superiority in the following, par-
ticulars : First, it must form a well shaped plant,
with a large number of leaves. Apparently the aim
is the bushiest plant possible, and the tendency is
distinctly away from the longer leaved varieties
toward medium sized plants. I noted in one estab-
lishment, that 6in. plants in prime condition for sale,
showed from 100 to 120 developed leaves.

Second, the best fern will be a rapid grower,
capable of developing from the single runner state to
the full leaved condition in as short a time as possible.

Third, the best form will be one which reproduces
rapidly, producing a large number of new plants in
a short time. This is really a part of the preceding
consideration. In the development of a well grown
pot plant, the leaves of secondary stems furnish a
considerable quota of the total number of leaves.

Fern growers are also interested in other points
such as the individual beauty of the leaves, trueness
to type, and ease of culture. Associated with the two
latter points is the great decrease in the number of
lace and plume varieties grown, only one of the
former being now widely cultivated. Beautiful as
they are, they require so much more- care in watering,
so many precautions that the average greenhouse
worker will not always give (whether from lack of
time, ignorance, indifference, etc.) that they appear
doomed as trade products. They do not command £
price commensurate with the extra time required for
their production.

Keeping the foregoing points in mind, let us restate
briefly the questions to the answers of which this
series of articles will endeavor to lead us. So far as
I know, there are no recognized, published standards
for determining the merit of different Boston fern
sports.

1. What variety can produce the largest number of
leaves in a given sized pot — say 6in. as the common-
est standard?

2. What variety can produce a well developed plant
— say of one hundred leaves — in a 6in. pot, in the
shortest time?

3. What variety can produce the largest number
of runner plants capable of propagation, in a set time?

4. What variety produces the most beautiful single
leaves?

5. What variety remains truest to type, judging by
the uniformity of a considerable number of plants?

6. What variety requires the least cultural care?

I believe the above cover the points most important
from the grower's standpoint. It seems evident that
the conditions specified eliminate all but the plainer
leaved types, those with the leaves only once divided,
like the original Boston fern. If beauty of leaf alone
were considered, the plume and lace varieties would
deserve consideration. So much for the grower's
point of view. That the retail seller and the retail
buyer (the ultimate consumer) have some very dif-
ferent ideas, will be brought out in succeeding articles.

II — What Boston Fern is Best ?— The Retailer's
Viewpoint

Here, too, our question exhibits various angles.
Throughout the country in different cities, and
within the confines of any single large city
there are different kinds of retailers who will ex-
press different opinions according to their neighbor-
hoods and the types of customer they serve. In New
York, for example Fifth ave. will think differently
from Third ave. ; the florist who supplies the decora-
tions for large hotels may have requirements different
from those of the florist whose customers are mainly

dwellers in small apartments. However, a few gen-
eral considerations are possible.

Like the grower the retailer wants beauty of leaf
and of the plant as a whole. He also prefers thy
compact bushy type with the greatest possible number
of leaves in a given size pot. It would make an in-
teresting and ~ valuable experiment to ascertain
whether the present preferred bushy types are really
the most beautiful ; the judgment of a committee of
artists might be invoked. It is not. at all certain that
mere bulk and number of leaves constitute the great-
est charm. In such a plant there is a loss of beauty
and grace in the individual leaves. If bulk and com-
pactness constitute the highest type, then the Cab^
bage has never received due consideration as a foliage
plant.

In one respect the retail florist should take sharp
issue with the grower. He should insist on a fair
amount of hardiness or durability of leaf. Greenhouse
grown plants are perishable products when kept out-
side of a greenhouse, at least as far as the prune con-
dition secured with overhead lighting, favorable at-
mosphere, etc., is concerned. Nevertheless the store
florist must be sure that his goods will remain salable
for a reasonable length of time in his store. There is
considerable difference in this respect among the vari-
ous forms, and florists are not agreed at present in pre-
ferring any particular variety as best. Apparently the
softer leaved varieties, often the most quickly grown
and reproduced, are also less enduring under store
conditions than others of slower growth and
increase. The issue is confused somewhat by the
fact that the grower can produce for the same money
a larger plant of the softer types than any of th<?
hardier forms. Some retailers buy only for bulk and
sacrifice the less obvious virtues of durability in the
belief that they are getting more for their money.

If a retailer has a trade willing to buy relatively
short lived plants and replace them frequently, he
will require only that the variety he sells stand up
under his store conditions till sold. This raises the
question whether it is not good trade policy for re-
tailers in general to feature only soft leaved, more
or less perishable varieties with the expectation of
more frequent sales to the same customers. Carried
to its logical conclusion, such a policy would defeat
itself. Not only would there be considerable loss
under store conditions, but the ultimate consumer
would stop buying ferns. Contradictory as it may
seem, there can he scarcely any question that in the
long run the best Boston fern variety for the retailer
will be that which will last longest in the home. The
Boston fern attained its position as the premier house
plant because, more than any other plant, it is
adapted to home conditions.

The fern grower will not object if there is greater
demand for hardier forms; though slower of growth,
they are also easier of culture. But the retailer must
realize that for hardiness and keeping qualities, some
bulk must be sacrificed, and that the new plants,
though smaller, will cost as much. However, he can
have no better selling argument for the average cus-

Boston's New Rose Garden

Work BegTjn on Horticultural Park Develop-
ment that will Rank with Finest in the
Country

WORK has begun in earnest on the new Rose
garden and other new horticultural develop-
ments in Franklin Park, Boston. Already the
city of Boston can point with pride to its magnificent
and extensive Metropolitan Park System and Reser-
vations which constitute one of the foremost charm*
of the metropolis and its suburbs. Franklin Park
with its area of 527 acres is a beautiful spot in this
great system, situated close to the heart of the city
and containing everything that can contribute to the
healthy refreshment of mind and body. There are
wide stretches of wonderful lawns bordered by shrub-
bery which fronts tangled wildwoods and sylvan
glens. Grand boulevards, driveways and winding
paths give access to every part and, for the amuse-
ment of both children and grownups, immense spaces
are given over to play grounds, tennis courts, golf
courses and baseball fields. Then there is the park
containing deer, buffalo, kangaroo and other grass
eaters, while handsome buildings house birds, ele-
phants, hippopotami, lions, tigers and simians. Bor-
ders and groups of hardy herbaceous flowering plants
are prominent wherever they will show to best effect,
and ponds or lakes give added life and motion to the
landscape. It need hardly be mentioned that a
breathing place of such importance is greatly appre-
ciated by the teeming multitudes of the big city.

While all the above mentioned features are as they
should be it was left to the present mayor of Boston
to perceive that an important addition to the charms
and value of the park could be made by the creation
of a well planned Rose Garden, in connection with
some other landscape features. When, a year or two
ago, his honor, James J. Curley had occasion to ad-
mire the luxuriant, vigorous beds and plantations of
outdoor Roses in the cities of Portland, Wash., Seat-
tle, Ore., Los Angeles, Calif., and other places, and
when he remembered the wonderful plantings of
Roses in Hartford, Conn., Minneapolis, etc., he became
enthusiastic over the possibility of giving his own
beloved city a chance to emulate the other praise-
worthy examples. He found a staunch ally in James
B. Shea, chairman of the Park Commission and with
the assistance of Arthur A. Shurtleff, the city land-
scape architect, the idea was followed up and a plan
submitted to the proper authorities who supported it
and granted the appropriations needed to take the
work in hand forthwith. The sum of $25,000 was
thus appropriated to be expended this year and an
additional $75,000 will be available for next year.

The location for this new venture is a very fortu-
nate one, being situated in the southeastern part of
Franklin Park, not far from the handsome, monu-
mental entrance near Blue Hill ave. and fronting one
of the main parkways which pass the lion house,
the elephant house and the two aviaries. On one
side, near Seaver St., the garden adjoins the great
deer park which, covering a rise of ground and with
its noble trees, forms a most appropriate and beauti-
ful setting. The formation of the grounds allows for
the excavation required for a good-sized lake and
plenty of room for large beds of shrubbery and peren-
nials. Two ornamental shelter houses, connected by
a long pergola will front the body of water. On the
opposite shore, on gently rising ground, will be seen
a reproduction of the ruins of a handsome ancient
temple, built of fluted columns, with their respective
capitals and architraves, which are remains from the
portico of the old custom house. The plan of the
entire development including the lake and, in the fore-
ground, the Rose Garden is shown on the accompany-
ing reproduction of the architect's drawing.

The Rose Garden is situated opposite the elephant
house. It is in the form of a blunt oval 200ft. in
length and 175ft. in width. It will be circumscribed
by an elaborate trellis supporting all varieties of
climbing Roses. Four entrances, formed by double
Rose arbors will lead to the first inner pathway.
After passing under the two arbors, the visitor de-
scends several steps and finds himself in the Rose
garden proper. The incline is planted with all varie-
ties of hybrid perpetual Roses with a fringe of Ram-
blers at the top and another at the bottom. Then
comes the main walk next to the raised border just
described. This leads around the whole of the sunken
interior and is flanked on the outer rim with speci-
mens of Roses grown in standard form. Four wide
paths lead from this main walk toward a large cen-
tral bed which is to contain specimens of the newest
and most valuable Roses. The four beds surrounding
the center space and bounded by the circular and
radiating paths are to be planted with a general col-
lection of bush Roses.

Owing to pressure on our space we have had to
withhold Mr. Godbey's letter until today. It will be
found most interesting, it being a narrative covering
long personal experience.
Editor The Florists Exchange :

IN The Exchange, July 8, you solicit reports from
those engaged in growing bulbs and other stock
new to the United States. I send you by this mail
samples of some of the bulbs I am growing, and sub-
mit the following report :

From what I have been able to learn about bulb
growing in other parts of the country, I believe I
have the most successful bulb farm in the United
States, and this success is not d-ue to any special
training or any of help in this line of work. I am
now 64 years old, and I pursued fruit growing and
common farming up to seven years ago, when I quit
and began growing cut flowers and bulbs for market.

I have been an experimenter all my life and have
spent 40 years in Florida trying out all kinds of
plants that promised any chance of success. I had
noticed that Lilium Harrisii grew year after year
with little care, as a common dooryard flower and
we had beds of Piaperwhite and other varieties of
Narcissus growing in the same place undisturbed for
30 years. This convinced me they were at home here.

Happening to get hold of a copy of The Florists
Exchange and seeing that prices for this kind of
stuff were what I called good, and being a great
lover of flowers, I decided to turn florist, so began
by investing in 1000 Chinese, 1000 Paperwhite Nar-
cissus, 1000 Gladiolus, 100 Lilium Harrisii and 12
Callas. A year later I invested in some Sweet Pea
and Asparagus plumosus seed. All of my flowers did
well ; the market was good and I liked my new line
of work.

Now while my bulbs increased very fast, the de-
mand for cut flowers also kept up with the increase
of bulbs, so that I only sold a few of the latter, now
and then, just to feel of the market, and give the
trade a chance to test out my stock in Northern
greenhouses. I have always looked to the future, be-
lieving a time would come when I would have a sur-
plus of bulbs for sale, and I wanted to be sure of a
market. That time did come, and with it came a de-
mand, from those who had already tried out my bulbs,
for ten times as many as I wished to sell.

To make a long story short, I dug this year 1000
bushels of bulbs of various sorts, as fine as ever grew
anywhere. I sold about half of my crop, and am
keeping the rest for planting stock to grow a bigger
crop next year.

So far Chinese Narcissus and Callas are leaders;
they increase fast, and the demand for both cut flow-
ers and bulbs is good. Chinese Narcissus increases
twice as fast as Paperwhites, the bulbs sell for twice
as much, while the cut flowers sell as well as Paper-
white. I often get eight spikes of bloom from one
bulb.

The Callas begin to bloom about Dec. 1, and con-
tinue until June 1, large bulbs often sending up six
to eight blooms in a season.

Besides the flowers already mentioned, I am grow-
ing Grand Soleil d'Or Narcissus, Spanish and Dutch,

Iris, Leucojum vernum, Lilium formosum, Freesias,
Amaryllis, Cannas, ferns and Cycas leaves.

Chinese Narcissus begin to bloom naturally here
about Nov. 20, and Paperwhites two weeks later; by
planting bulbs, at intervals, a succession of bloom
can be had from both, up to March 1. Narcissus bulb-
lets, planted in the Fall make large blooming bulbs
by April, and are dug and ready for market by June 1.

This early maturity gives them a long rest, and
when the weather begins to cool down in the Fall
they are ready to force. It has been fully demon-
strated that Florida grown bulbs are better for forc-
ing than those grown anywhere else.

The Florists Opportunity in Florida

Bulbs that require a cool temperature are grown
here as a Winter crop, and we can grow in the open
ground nearly everything that is grown in the green-
houses in the North. We can deliver the more durable
varieties of cut flowers to the Northern markets in
perfect order. Palms and ferns can be grown here
of every description; we have Azalea indica that are
40 years old and 16ft. wide. Where the limbs lay

What We Know About Boston Ferns

(Concluded from page 1123)
tomer than to say that the hardier form will grow
better in the home and last longer. If he can point
out moreover, that with less foliage, there is even
greater grace and beauty of the individual leaves, he
will hardly find it difficult to maintain at least as
good a trade as with the softer leaved, bushier varie-
ties.

I wonder if the time will ever come when the re-
tailer will be a specialist in his customers' needs, one
who cau visualize the needs of the home or the hotel,
and be able to advise with taste and discretion as to
the best use of plants in decoration. In New York
there is a considerable tendency toward the methods
of the five and ten cent store. Although there are
many fine florist shops, abundantly stocked,' with
beautifully arranged, and brilliantly lighted windows,
there are also numerous shops which are mere stalls,
whose proprietors would just as willingly and intelli-
gently sell any other merchandise which promised a
better return.

Returning to the question, "What Boston fern va-
riety is best from the retailer's point of view?" a
symposium of retailers' opinions would be extremely
interesting and informing. The writer will be glad to
receive such expressions as well as records of the ex-
perience of retail florists with the various standard
varieties. Reduced to specific form the following
questions probably cover the problem :

1. What variety is most beautiful and what are its
points of excellence? Here there should be reported
the opinions of customers.

2. What variety lasts best — i.e., retains its beauty
longest — under store conditions, and for how long a
period has any given variety been kept in a store?

3. What are the relative keeping qualities of the
different types of varieties of Boston fern, which we
may classify under three main headings, viz., the
"plain" or once divided forms like the original Bos-
ton fern, Scotti, etc.; (2) the "plume varieties, like
Whitmani and elegantissima, etc.; and (3) the lace
varieties, Smithi and Verona, etc.?

Notes from Abroad

October has not commenced in very
promising fashion. In Great Britain the
weather has been too dull and damp to
suit the seed growers, and in Western
Fiance continued rains are imperiling
the Tomato and the late ripening flower
seed crops. A complete change may, how-
ever, still save the situation to some ex-
tent.

In Covent Garden market, trade is a
trifle better, especially for cut blooms.
Carnations and Violets were in somewhat
increased supply. Pot stuff consists chief-
ly of Chrysanthemums, with fairly well
grown Cyclamen beginning to come in.

The produce of biennial crops in the
English growing districts will, in gen-
eral, be very limited. Growers could not
plant out as large an acreage as they
had planned on account of last year's
drought, so that the returns of Cabbage,
Rutabaga and Turnips will be far below
the average. As regards the planting of
these articles for 1923, it is considerable
in extent and looking very well uptodate.
In Peas, there is a certain shortage in
some leading kinds owing to the dry
period in the Spring. The Colonies are
also reporting short crops in some sorts.

In Germany there has been a fair crop
of Peas though the damp period through
which they latterly passed is stated to
have somewhat unfavorably affected their
appearance. Still, there should have been
a considerable cmantity available for ex-
port, but the government has recently
laid an embargo thereon, on the pretext
of shortage of food stuffs, and although
this has been appealed against, no fresh
offers are now coming through and busi-
ness looks like being difficult.

Denmark reaffirms the previous report
of short crops of Rutabaga and Turnips,
which were damaged by severe frost dur-
ing the past Winter and later on, by in-
sect pests. Sugar Beet is a fair crop on
the whole and Mangold, though attacked
to some extent by disease, should not be
far below the average.

The annual Holland House flower show
has long been one of the big events of
the horticultural year, but since the
grounds of Holland House were no
longer available, some anxiety as to its
future has been felt. Instead of hold-
ing it in the height of the season, and
rather too close after the Chelsea Show,
it was wisely decided to make it an
Autumn event and combine with it the
vegetable and fruit shows formerly held
separately. The result was a great suc-
cess, all classes of exhibits being ex-
tremely well represented, and the coopera-
tion of the public, who found something
to suit all tastes, very satisfactory.

Oct. 9, 1922.

October has brought us thus far no
frost worth mentioning, and outdoor flow-
ers are still lending the gardens a kind
of subdued gaiety, somewhat to the detri-
ment of the bulb business, for people are
loath to pull up plants still blooming and
thus make the parterre assume too soon
their Winter decorous dullness.

Growers, however, are not sending in

many outdoor grown flowers now, though
Asters, Dahlias and Michaelmas Daisies
are still coining on to the market. Chrys-
anthemums form nine-tenths of the pro-
duce on show, and they fill the bill in
every sense, remarkably well. Autumn
foliage plants are not up to their usual
form just now, owing to the previous dull
weather, but the recent few bright days,
with an almost record temperature for
October, will soon have an improving ef-
fect.

It is now certain, according to latest re-
ports from the French growing districts
that there will not be a large quantity
of table Beets harvested and it does not
appear that .very large plantations are in
contemplation for 1923. The crop of Car-
rots maintains its fair promise and con-
siderable preparations are being made
for next season. Cabbages will be quite
as short as hitherto reported, and though
a fairly large average was planned for
1923 it is looking rather patchy in some
places. The crop of Broccoli is scarce in
the West and prices going up, but plan-
tations for next crop are looking well.

The cleaning of the Lettuce crop is now
in full swing and the results are not quite
as good as was hoped, the later ripening
plantations having failed to develop their
seed so well as the earlier ones. Onions
nowhere approach an average crop, and
quotations for the produce are high. As
regards the future, there appears to be
a fair crop of bulbs in some parts, but
poor in others.

Leeks have not done much better than
Onions and prices are advancing. Melons,
though a fair yield, have hardly come up
to the expectations formerly prevailing,
as for some reason or other, the fruit did
not set well. Salsify and Scorzonera are
hardly up to the average and Parsnip is
only a moderate crop, the seed of which
is finding a ready sale. Turnips of all
classes are, as already reported, very
scarce, but sowings for 1923 have been
made under fairly satisfactory condi-
tions.

In the English growing districts, pole
Beans are not so promising as previously
reported and may, after all, be somewhat
scarce.

From Australia, extreme weather con-
ditions all reported drought followed
by heavy rains, and this has naturally af-
fected the seed crops. The former condi-
tion has limited the sowings of Cabbage,
Cauliflowers and Onions, while Melons,
Cucumbers, Squashes and Tomatoes have
done very well.

NOT HOW CHEAP
BUT HOW GOOD

Although we have seen
many definitions for
pessimist and optimist,
we have just noted a
new one that we think
well enough to pass
along; here it is. A pessi-
mist closes an eye, wrin-
kles his face, draws up a
corner of his mouth and
says "It can't be done."
An optimist has a face
full of sunshine; he
beams on you and says
"It can be done," and
then lets George do it.
But the pep-ti-mist
takes off his coat, rolls
up his sleeves, spits on
his hands, goes to it and
does it. The sooner we
all get in the pep-ti-mist
class the quicker this
old universe of ours will
get back to normalcy.
But don't delay in secur-
ing your bulbs — be sure
to obtain the best — you
make no mistake when
you buy HORSESHOE
BRAND that has proven
best by test. The follow-
ing ready for immediate

Gladiolus Novelties

Mostly all of our own raising, including our new Gladiolus Maiden's Blush, of which
"The Florists Review" writes as follows:

"Gladiolus Maiden's Blush originates with J. J. Grullemans & Sons of Lisse, Holland,
being one of a number of Primulinus hybrids of pronounced early flowering habit; among these
is Maiden's Blush. The color of this beautiful variety is of a most attractive shade of light
pink, and some good judges think Maiden's Blush will become one of the most widely grown
and popular varieties when it is well known.

"It is said that this variety will force in the greenhouse in seven weeks."

In a former number of "The Florists Review" said: "Maiden's Blush has taken better
on the Chicago market than any other Gladiolus ever did."

It has been reported to us from sev-
eral reliable sources that H. Krelage,
Haarlem, and W. Warnaar, Sassenheim,
Holland, sailed on Oct. 21 on the S. S.
Paris from Havre, and are expected to
arrive in this country on Saturday, Oct.
28th, and that it is their intention to at-
tend the F. H. B. Conference in the in-
terests of the Dutch bulb growers.

Bulbs

Sales of bulbs over the counter to ama-
teur growers have increased greatly in all
the seed stores since the killing frosts of
last week. The entire, line of bulbs seems
to be embraced in this more active de-
mand, namely. Tulips, Hyacinths, Crocus
and Narcissi; and not only the kinds and
varieties which are favorites for outdoor
planting, but also those most used for
growing indoors iu pebbles and water or
prepared bulb fibre. The demand from
florists who force bulbs for the cut flower
market, which has been steady and large
for several weeks, has increased greatly,
and not a few varieties of the several
kinds of bulbs, especially of Tulips, are
getting into short supply. As a result of
this, bulb importers and dealers are opti-
mistic in their expression of opinions as
to what will be the outcome in the bulb
trade this season.

Auction Sales

The Tuesday and Friday auction sales
of the MacNiff Horticultural Co., 196
Greenwich st., continue well attended.
The leading features .of these sales are
Dutch bulbs of all kinds and varieties,
and many kinds of potted plants of more
than usually excellent quality. The com-
pany's store department also reports re-
ceiving many good sized orders for bulbs
to go .out of towm.

Calling on Lagarde & Speelman, 470
Greenwich St., recently, wTe found the
whole forced occupied in shipping out
Paperwhite Narcissi, which they say they
are offering at reduced, prices to meet
the present competition.' This is a con-
dition of affairs as regards Paperwhites
which, in their opinion, was hardly to be
expected at the beginning of the season.
This firm already has five travelers on the
road booking orders for next year. The
present demand for Dutch bulbs is re-
ported to be excellent and night as well
as day work is found necessary to keep
the shipments up with the orders.

The Heermance Storage Co. on Green-
wich st., from Beade to Chambers, re-
ports that Lilium giganteum bulbs are
coming to them for cold storage in in-
creasing number, but that their facilities
are such that they are ready to accept
any number whatsoever. They further
report that a number of new importers
and dealers are applying to them for bulb
storage space. They have recently re-
ceived applications for the storage of
Paperwhite Narcissus bulbs as well as
Lily bulbs and Valley Pips. The com-
pany reports that it is well prepared to
handle Valley Pips in the storage of which
they specialize. Pips are expected to ar-
rive early in November and throughout
that month. R. H. Diedrich, secretary of
this company, will, as heretofore, have
special charge of the storage of bulbs and
pips.

McHutchison & Co., 95 Chambers St.,
report the arrival of three carloads of
Lilium giganteum bulbs, others being en
route from the Pacific Coast. A carload
of bulbs for this company has also reach-
ed each of the following cities: Milwau-
kee, Chicago and Denver; these have been
distributed in taking care of their West-
ern orders. Another carload has reached
Seattle, and has been used in taking
care of Pacific Coast trade. This firm re-
ports that the advent of colder weather
has stiffened up the demand for Dutch
bulbs. On Oct. 20 it received an addi-
tional shipment of French Paperwhite
bulbs on the S. S. Homeric, via Liverpool.
In general it reports business is good,
and the outlook excellent. It expects its
first shipment of English Manetti stocks
*oon; the crop is short and the demand
active. James McHutchison of this firm

is convalescing satisfactorily. His leg,
which was broken in an automobile acci-
dent last Summer, has knit so well that
he can now get about without cane or
crutches, and he is expected back at his
desk soon. C. B. Kniekman will repre-
sent this firm at the conference of the
F. H. B. at Washington. D. C, on Oct.
30, and also at the first meeting on Oct.
26 of the committee of the Merchants
Association of New York organized to con-
sider plant quarantine activities, and of
which Mr. McHutchison is a member.

Wm. M. Hunt & Co., 148 Chambers St.,
we found, when calling this week, busy
filling their bulb orders. They report
that this is the best season they have ever
had in this line; also an unusually active
demand from private estates for hotbed
mats.

Eugene Andre of Trinidad, British West
Indies, arrived in New York City about
ten days ago and expects shortly to un-
dergo an operation at one of the local hos-
pitals. Before Qu. 37 went into effect,
Mr. Andre was a large shipper of Dra-
caena canes to this country and others.
He has also been a large collector of
orchid plants, which he shipped especially
to England.
Peter Henderson & Co. Defy Frosts

Notwithstanding the heavy frosts on
Wednesday and Thursday nights of last
week, we noted on Friday, Oct. 20, in the
big store windows of Peter Henderson &
Co. at 35 to 37 Cortlandt st., a large and
notable display of outdoor grown annual
flowers in many varieties. The display,
which completely filled the window, com-
prised Dahlias, Clarkia, Dianthus chin-
ensis. Amaranthus caudatus, Gaillardia,
Marigolds in several varieties, Snapdrag-
ons, Salvia and Cosmos, including some
beautiful blooms of the crested type of
the latter. These flowers were all grown
in the open.

Calling on Tegelaar Bros., Inc.,
1133 ■ Broadway, we found- Mr.
Tegelaar at his desk again after
a long trip, which occupied several
months, throughout the eastern countries
and Japan, which he took especially in
the interest of the firm's bulb trade. Mr.
Tegelaar reports that Paperwhite Nar-
cissi are moving rapidly in response to
their special offerings advertised in The
Flokists Exchange, that Dutch bulbs
are clearing up in great shape, and that
most of the Japanese Lilium giganteum
bulbs received have already been shipped
out, but that another large consignment
is on its way from the Pacific Coast, car-
loads being expected about Oct. 25.

F. Rynveld & Sons, 61 Vesey st., re-
port that the colder weather of the past
week has apparently helped counter trade
in Dutch bulbs, for they have many calls
from seedsmen to help them make good
their shortages. The home office in Hol-
land has cabled this firm that F. Rynveld
is now in Germany superintending the
packing of the firm's supply of Lily of the
Valley pips. Mr. Rynveld is an expert
in the selection of these pips and in their
proper packing. This firm has added to
its traveling force John Ryken, who has
had wide experience in the trade, not
only in Enugland with important firms
there and in Europe, but in this ocimtry
as well.

At Vaughan's Seed Store, 43 Barclay
St., the demand for Dutch bulbs continues
strong and the store reports receiving
numerous wired orders daily from all over
the country. Stocks, they report, are get-
ting scarce and hard to replace, and
prices are advancing. Their Lilium gi-
ganteum bulbs are now en route and
they expect to make delivery Nov. 1.
They are now offering a new variety of
Lily, namely Lilium giganteum Scottii,
a seedling of giganteum. This is said to
produce larger flowers and these in greater
abundance than the parent. Counter
trade at this store is brisk with the ad-
vent of cooler weather. The great influx
of orders is keeping the store force work-
ing every day in the week, and nights as
well, and has been doing so for the past
four weeks.

Stumpp & Walter Co. Purchases
Building

George G. Stumpp and Julian H. Wal-
ter, of the firm of Stumpp & Walter, the
well known seed establishment at . 30 to
32 Barclay St., according to an item in
the daily press (which has been confirmed)
have purchased the realty at that ad-
dress from Benjamin Parr and another.
The property comprises a five story build-
ing on a plot 51ft. x 101.1ft., just west
of Church st. The purchase price is given

as $180,000. The acquirement of this
large and well constructed building, which
has been found to be so excellently lo-
cated for the carrying on of a great seed
business, is one of the most notable real
estate purchases made by any seed house
in this city for many years.

Charles Niemann, 261 Broadway, re-
ports the distribution of a carload of
Lilium giganteum in Pittsburgh, and an-
other in Philadelphia recently. Mr. Nie-
mann says that he finds the demand for
these bulbs is exceeding the supply.

Chicago Seed Trade

R. B. Howe, of the W. W. Barnard
Co.. states that the Fall season has
opened satisfactorily ■ in all departments.
C. D. Coventry, who has been on the
Pacific Coast for the past few weeks, is
due here Oct. 23. The house will send
representatives to the St. Paul and the
St. Louis Fall flower shows.

A. Henderson & Co. was the only
seed house in the city to exhibit at the
Uptown show. The results were highly
satisfactory. Mrs. Setterberg had charge
of the exhibit during the day and was
relieved by W. J. Sharpe in the evenings.

The American Bulb Co. reports no
letup in the sales of Lilies as well as of
French and Holland bulbs. Overtime
has been the general rule of the shipping
department for the past few weeks. The
new crop of Lilium giganteum is ready.

"A Rainbow Garden of Tulips" is the
slogan of the advertising of Vaughan's
Seed Store in the city papers. In these
the May-flowering Darwin. Cottage, and
Breeder types are featured. This adver-
tising brings satisfying results daily. The
orders are filled either at the West Side
store (615 W. Randolph St.) or the re-
tail store (10-12 W. Randolph st., near
State). Art bowls filled with Fall bloom-
ing Crocus are a prominent feature of
the store. In the wholesale seed depart-
ment, Carl Cropp says that business is
good.

Cincinnati Seed Trade

Lily Bulbs in Bad Shape

Florists and growers of the Cincinnati
district are complaining bitterly of their
experiences with Easter Lily and other
Lily bulbs from Japan and Bermuda.
They say that 50 per cent of Easter Lily
bulbs supplied this year are useless,
many of them being rotten through over-
heating. The loss to growers has been
very heavy. It is charged that the bulbs
were shipped without being properly
dried or cured and that little care was
taken to pack them, so that they would
not become heated. Several dealers said
.that a large percentage of bulbs were in
such condition that they could not even
be planted. Home grown Easter Lilies
will be scarce here this season in conse-
quence of this misfortune. This is a
calamity, because the market here is well
sold onLilies. particularly on the Easter
tvpe. Lily of the Valley roots are also
much affected for the same reason, it is
asserted, many of the crowns unpacked
bein? in bad condition.

Sales of Holland bulbs continue ac-
tive and dealers and purchasers have
been uniformly well satisfied with them.
Sales of French bulbs are almost negli-
gible. The seed trade continues active,
Winter cover seed being particularly
strong in inquiry. Timothy, Rye and
Winter Clovers enjoyed a good demand.
E. L. Hawes.

tivation of the variety. One ought,
therefore, not to form too high expecta-
tions of the result of the crop.

Bromus Arvensis. — The crop is esti-
mated to be a medium one. The acreage
is somew-hat larger than last year.

Morse White Clover. — The bad weath-
er conditions have had an unfavorable in-
fluence on the harvest. The crop cannot
be estimated yet, but the results will cer-
tainlv be like those of previous years,
i.e, the good qualities will be much in
demand.

Swede and Turnip.— The severe frost
during the Winter greatly damaged the
fields; the plants have also suffered much
from attack of beetles, and the crop will
be far below a normal one.

Sugar Beet Seed.— The Wintered areas
are greatly decimated. The remaining
areas are reported to give a normal crop.

Mangels. — Attacks of different diseases
have injured the plants, but still a nor-
mal result is expected.

Danish Seed Crop Report

Having now gotten reliable informa-
tion as to the result of the harvest this
year in Denmark, I beg to submit a short
report:

Cocksfoot. — The unfavorable weather
has reduced the crop, and the average
yield will be below a middle one. The
threshings show from 400 to 500 kilos per

Meadow Fescue. — The crop seems to be
a normal one.

Perennial and Ital. Ryegrasses give a
little below medium crop. The acreage
having been reduced very considerably,
the total crop will easily be consumed in
this country, where the farmers readily
pay an additional price for Danish seed
on account of its better quality.

Poa Trivialis. — The acreage is estimat-
ed to be larger than last year, but I con-
sider this of less importance as the en-
largement bas, in my opinion, taken place
mostly on soil not suitable for the cul-

—Seed and plant catalog for Fall 1922 and Spring
1923 This 94-page catalog will bear comparison
with any published anywhere in the world, bize
11 x 18 i"n. with stiff covers, it is almost remarkable
for its good illustrations and variety of subjects
listed. Printed in Spanish, it caters to the Soutii
American trade with almost completeness All
kinds of vegetable and flower seeds are listed, but
with the former, practically no varietal names are
used; an excellent idea where horticultural educa-
tion is not far advanced. It removes doubt from
the minds of customers and enables the vendor to
get along with one standard stock of each kind.
With flowers the variety is more extensive, subjects
like Snapdragons, Zinnias, etc., being listed in
separate colors. In most instances the names are
given in both Spanish and English as in Pensa-
miento (Pansies). One slip is noted, a vase of Nas-
turtiums being labeled Portulaca. Gladiolus in
considerable variety, with names in English, fol-
low and in succession come various Holland bulbs.
Begonias, Cannas, Dahlias, the latter in great
variety: Peonies, Phlox, Roses, fruits, ornamental
plants', etc. The florist's department of this firm
is extensive and a goodly array of designs is given.
Poultry supplies are also listed. The proprietor

Week at the Capital

By CLARENCE L. LINZ

To Settle Tariff Problems

A large appropriation will be asked of
Congress when the short session convenes
to enable the United States Tariff Com-
mission to undertake the duties imposed
upon it under the new tariff law. Already
a large number of cases have been sub-
mitted, which must be carefully investi-
gated, and the commission will need a big
staff of clerks, and of commodity and of
legal experts to do, the work.

Every effort is to be made to keep the
procedure of the commission as simple as
possible. When a case is filed the com-
mission will pass upon the merits of the
application, the need for an investigation,
and whether or not the application comes
within the provisions of the law. In the
case of an investigation, the primary ques-
tion would be the cost of production of
the imported merchandise and of the do-
mestic products involved.

Any importer or manufacturer in thTs
country seeking relief under the flexible
provisions of the tariff law may apply for
such an investigation, giving the reason
tor it, and filing a statement of differences
in cost of production at home and abroad,
or other conditions of competition. It is
believed that most of the requests for
relief will be for a reduction in duties,
m which cases the applicants will be re-
quired to show that the duties in the new
law are so high as to prevent the importa-
tion of the foreign articles in which they
are interested.

A number of articles, heretofore im-
ported in large quantities, which have no
corresponding or comparable American
product, have, it is claimed, been included
in some of the paragraphs carrying a high
duty, making it difficult and perhaps im-
possible for the importers to continue
bringing them into this country, although
they may not at all come into competition
with domestic goods.

Ignorance of Foreign Language Hurts
Trade

Many American manufacturers who at-
tempt to sell goods in South America are
defeating their own efforts by their lack
°f knowledge of the Spanish language and
the colloquial speech of the countries in
which they advertise, according to reports
received at the Department of Commerce,
bo widespread has the use of poor Spanish
become that Secretary Hoover has ap-
pointed a committee of advertising men
to take up with American exporters the
matter of correct advertising in foreign
tongues. Copies of advertisements have
been received in Washington showing the
carelessness with which many manufac-
turers treat their foreign advertising-
many are merely incorrect in grammar,
but some are nothing short of ludicrous
and cannot but have a bad effect upon
American goods in general wherever thev
appear.

Fighting the Fire Hazard

Fire prevention on railroads and in
warehouses, stores and schools and other
places where large numbers of people con-
gregate or where large quantities of goods
are stored was discussed last week at the
ninth annual meeting of the Railway Fire
lJrotection Association in Washington.

It was agreed that fire prevention
should be adopted by the schools of the
country as part of their regular curricu-
lum- Several of the questions considered
dealt with fire prevention as applied to
goods in the possession of the railroads
tor transportation. During the year 1921
reports showed there were 7963 fires on
the 75 largest railroads keeping records of

Business Still Improving

■ Thu- uipwf,rd trend of business is,
graphically shown by figures for car load-
ings of freight lor the week ending Oct 7
-Loadings of merchandise and miscellane-
ous freight totaled 573,782 cars, an in-
crease of 26,070 cars over those of the
same week m 1921.

Total loading of revenue freight
amounted to 968,169 cars during the week
inch was also an increase over the cor-
responding week in 1921, or 68,488 cars

Overpaying Postage to Spain

The majority of American business men
now sending mail to Spain are paying too
much postage, according to a recent an-
npuncement by the Post Office Depart-
ment. It was recently found at the New-
York Post Office that 50 per cent of the
letters addressed to Spain bore postage
at the old international rate of 5c. for
the first ounce and 3c. for each additional
ounce, whereas the new rate effective to
Spain and including the Spanish colonies
(the Balearic Islands, Canary Islands and
Spanish possessions on the North Coast
of Africa) since May 19, 1922, is only
2c. an ounce and each fraction thereof.

Seed Expert Back from Europe

Edgar Brown, botanist in charge of the
seed testing laboratories of the Bureau of
Plant Industry, has recently returned
from Europe, where he visited the prin-
cipal seed testing stations. Following the
recommendations of the International
Seed Testing Congress, held in Copen-
hagen, Denmark, in June, 1921, modifica-
tions in the methods of testing are being
made to insure closer agreement in the
results of analyses made by the different
stations.

September Foreign Trade Increase

Exports during September show a grati-
fying increase, as compared with preced-
ing months, according to figures made pub-
lic by the Department of Commerce.
From Sept. 1 to 21 (when the Underwood
Tariff ended) inclusive, exports amounted
to $317,000,000, as compared with $301,-
804,618 for the entire preceding month.
Exports for the entire month of Septem-
ber last year totaled only $324,863,123.

For the first 21 days of the month imports
totaled $232,000,000, as against $281,411,-
705 for the entire month of August, also
suggesting an increase.

Government to Help Uphold Trade
Ethics

The creation of a governmental agency
to advise and supervise the activities of
business organizations is favored by At-
torney General Daugherty, who believes
that the violations of law by business
men can be reduced to a minimum if the
government will provide a means of as-
sisting them to keep within the law.

According to the Attorney General, men
who take an active interest in the ex-
tension of the activities and usefulness
of trade associations have little to fear
from the Government, so long as they
make an honest effort to do the right
thing. By setting up the necessary ma-
chinery to pass on the plans of business
organizations be believes that the Ameri-
can producers will be enabled legitimately
to strengthen their hands in search of
markets, and at the same time the Gov-
ernment will avoid much expense of in-
vestigation and litigation.

"Ninety per cent of the business men
of the country," says Mr. Daugherty,
"are men of good conscience and desire to
observe the law. The trouble is that many
professional organizers conceive schemes
and plans that cut corners quickly. Their
business is to get around the law, if they
can, and they frequently advise business
men to take chances and to do things that
the law does not permit."

New Orleans, La.

The Morning After

Oct. 21. — New Orleans is once
again getting back to normal after its
invasion by the American Legion hosts,
and the thousands of ex-service men who
have been making merry within our
gates for the past five days have packed
up their tents and moved away. Even
the old gray mule from Missouri, the
bathing suit girls from Florida and the
ears of Corn, containing a medicinal dose
of a certain well-known liquid from
Iowa are no longer in evidence, no mat-
ter where you look. The red, white and
blue street lights will burn no more; the
hurdy gurcly, commandeered from an old
French town negro by the bunch from
Texas, will no longer send forth its notes
upon the midnight air and the Hotel
Grunewald and the Maison Blanche
budding, which were auctioned off to the
highest bidder by a well meaning buddy
from the District of Columbia, are sup-
posedly in the hands of the new owners.
And how does everybody feel after it's
all over? Speaking for the Louisiana
bunch, they are all tired but happy and
the thousands who are speeding away
from here to all parts of the country,
will probably not wake up until they

reach their destination, making up for
the sleep they lost here, but when thev
get home, we feel sure they will tell their
children and their grandchildren of the
good times they had in the Crescent City.
The retail florists had quite a busy
week of it and- none are complaining of
lack of work during the past five days.
Many decorations were needed for the
different entertainments, banquets and
boat rides, and numerous corsages were
sold for members of the Women's Auxil-
iary of the American Legion. Then there
were wreaths to put on the cenotaph
erected in memory of the dead heroes
and others to be placed on the graves in
the local cemeteries. And all this in
addition to a regular business which is
picking up steadily.

The Largest Function

Probably the most elaborate affair
held during the entire convention, and
one without precedent in the history of
the United States, was the dinner of the
States held in the banquet hall of the
Athenaeum on Monday night. This was
really the only event in which practically
every florist in town had his part.

A table for each State was arranged
in the banquet hall, and each table was
decorated with flowers or products na-
tive to that State. Some of the States
of course did their own decorating, but
the majority were decorated' by the local
florists. The District of Columbia, whose
table was arranged by J. G. Schattmaier.
of the Metairie Ridge Flower Shop, used
a miniature Washington monument as
its centerpiece. Mr. Schattmaier alss
decorated the tables for Oregon and Mis-
sissippi. Ohio occupied the center table
and was done in Autumn shades by
C. W. Eichling, of the Avenue Floral Co.
All shades of yellow running through to
a deep bronze were used and the table
was scattered with Autumn leaves in-
termingled with Buckeyes. The central
piece was a huge basket 6ft. high, filled
with Chrysanthemums on a circular base
of a light shade of bronze changing into
pale yellow and interspersed with leaves
and Buckeyes. Mr. Eichling also deco-
rated the tables for Maine, which had
an elk under a Pine tree and a full
rigged three masted ship riding on bil-
lowy waves over a plateau of Asparagus,
Pennsylvania with its basket of yellow
Chrysanthemums, blue Immortelles and
blue streamers, and Virginia. This same
shop also prepared the decorations for
the banquet hall, using 15 dozen palms
and other foliage plants.

Charles Eble arranged the tables for
the States of Minnesota, Kansas, Wiscon-
sin and Indiana, and Peter A. Chopin had
the distinction of decorating the table of
the State of Louisiana. U. J. Virgin and
Max Scheinuk also arranged a number
of tables, it is understood.

The State of Nevada arranged her
decorations with the use of precious met-
als from her mines and had one of the
most distinctive displays in the room for
her tablecloth was woven of solid silver
threads polished to brilliancy. Tiny gold
nuggets marked the place of each guest.
The centerpiece was a huge block of sil-
ver, banked with white Roses. Nevada's
silver was brought to New Orleans under
the escort of four men and the Governor ;
Emmitt D. Boyle, of Carson City, made
arrangements for the display.

The Market

Roses from the North are now
coming in larger quantities ; the home-
grown Radiance Rose is being used large-
ly for corsages, where formerly it served
almost every purpose. In practically all
shops are seen these Northern Roses and
they are in good condition, due to the
cooler weather. Scott Key, Premier, An-
gelus, Columbia, Sunburst, Killarney and
Ophelia are the varieties at present on
the market.

The local Chrysanthemum crop is in
exceptionally good condition, and there
is every indication that this flower will
be plentiful on All Saints Day. Some
growers are already beginning to cut
and the flowers are appearing in the
local shops. The supply from California
continues, and the price is still hovering
around $6 to $8 per doz. The demand is
good for basket and decorative purposes.

Dahlias continue to hang on and quite
a few7 of the local varieties appear in the
different stores. The Carnation is pick-
ing up in point of sales and now that it
can be shipped, the local florists are
buying in quantity for it is 5 ready seller

and keeps better than formerly. These
sell around $2 and $2.50 per doz.

Personals

C. E. Gullett, of Gullett & Sons,
from Lincoln, 111. spent a short time in
New Orleans during the Legion conven-
tion.

Granville Gude, son of William Gude,
from Washington, D. C, was in the city
during the whole week making prepara-
tions to row against the champion from
Minnesota, who holds the title for the
country, and who agreed to a race dur-
ing the convention. For some reason
the champion from Minnesota was called
home and the race did not take place
much to the disapponitment of Mr. Gude,
who had been practicing at the Yacht
Club during the week with the determina-
tion of taking the title away with him.

M. Craig, of the Sefton Flower Box
Manufacturing Co., of Chicago, 111.,
passed through the city during the past
week spending a few days here.

Atlanta, Ga.

News Notes

Our Atlanta delegates to the F. T.
D. convention bring back the glad tid-
ings that we are to have the convention
in 1925. We are sorry that we will have
to wait that long to show the F. T. D.
folks what a wonderful city we have,
but we can promise that all who attend
the 1925 gathering will have the best
time of their lives and that they will
leave Atlanta with yearnings for an early
return.

Atlanta's peculiar geographical situa-
tion makes it a natural distributing point
and with its added railway facilities it
is in fact, as well as in name, the "gate
city of the South." This fact should con-
vince F. T. D. members that ours is the
logical city to best take care of their
southern distribution.

The center of interest the past ten days
has been directed to the Southeastern
Fair which has attracted 150,000 visitors.
The Southeastern Fair is an annual event
to which we all look forward and one of
our greatest southern seedsmen, H. G.
Hastings, has been instrumental in bring-
ing it to its present successful operation
by his untiring efforts as its president
wiien it was still a new undertaking. The
H. G. Hastings Co. had a splendid ex-
hibit at the fair, as did also the W. H.
Letton Seed Co.

The Wachendorff Bros, exhibit of Dah-
lias attracted many flower lovers and their
annual display of this flower has done
much to stimulate interest in Dahlia
growing in this section. Their Dahlia
entries won six blue ribbons and on their
entries of decorative and blooming plants,
both specimens and collections, they were
awarded six blue ribbons.

The City of Atlanta, through its Park
Department, represented by Nelson Crist
and Fritz riitter, staged a formal garden
which was very artistic in arrangement
and attracted many admirers.

There were amateur entries in Dahlias
and 'Mums, the quality of which caused
the florist to take notice and he will re-
double his effort to excel in the next an-
nual show.

Edward A. Wachendorff, the newly
elected president of our Florists Club, has
gone to join his wife in Columbus, Ga.,
where they will visit relatives, but he
will return in time to take up his new
duties as president at the next monthly
meeting of the club which will be on
Monday, Nov. 6.

The Stallings Flower Shop, by building
a balcony, have greatly facilitated their
work at the store, and if their ever-in-
creasing business congests in the next
year as it has done in the past we predict
another expansion. B. W. S.

$10,000 For a Broken Leg

John Madden, the Jersey City florist,
has a suit for $10,000 filed against him
by a schoolboy. The boy claims he went
to the Holy Name Cemetery to place
flowers on a grave when an employee of
John Madden came and asked him what
he was doing. Becoming frightened the
boy ran away and tripped over some ob-
struction thereby fracturing his leg. The
actual facts of the case have not reached
us. ....

A Violet Bulletin

The Rhinebeck Floral Co., Rhinebeck,
N. Y., is issuing a semi monthly Violet
Bulletin, which is being distributed over
a wide area to show florists how to and
why they should handle Violets, and to
keep them posted on market prices. No. 1,
now in the mails, gives data as to condi-
tions of the crop and shows how a regu-
lar supply of bloom can be obtained
direct through the mails. A small map
shows that Violets are being shipped al-
most as far west as Kansas City, Mo.,
and as far south as Chattanooga, Tenn.

The Rhinebeck Floral Co.'s Btock is
known as F. T. D. Violets, and all flowers
are backed with Galas and guaranteed to
arrive in perfect condition.

The Bulletin itself can be used as an
order sheet, being folded envelope fashion.

"AS EASY AS ROLLING OFF A LOG"
Recording Judges' Decisions

ENDORSED BY OUR LEADING HORTICULTURAL SOCIETIES

THE CLERICAL WORK of Every Flower Show Exhibition Should
Be Run on Business Lines. Our System is the best, the simplest,
the least expensive, and, in every particular, the most satisfactory.

We have devised, for the use of Managers
and Secretaries, a set of Three Books, Entry
Forms, Entry Cards and Pasters, covering in
detail the orderly and systematic arrange-
ment of every item in bookkeeping, from
the time the Entry Forms are given out to
the payment of prizes and closing up of ac-
counts, and this system is so concise and
complete that prize winners can be paid off
without confusion immediately after Judges'
decisions have been rendered. The system
is so plain that no instructions from us have
ever been called for.

This system, once tried, is ever a favorite;
it can be tiuthfully called the greatest Labor
Saver ever placed within the reach of Ex-
hibition Managers.

Polyanthus Narcissi

To Follow 'Mums

You may consider taking one of the
empty Chrysanthemum benches to be
used for Paperwhites. For those retailing
their flowers, a good way to do is to
plant out each week from now on a cer-
tain number of bulbs ; this should give
you flowers away into January, even later.
Not to say that after that time there is
much money in them, but you will no
doubt find good use for what you have.
You can treat the Grand Soleil d'Or, or
what we often call the yellow Paper-
whites, the same way and for that pur-
pose, you don't need French grown bulbs.
The others are cheaper and fully as good
as long as you don't want them for extra
early work. Carry the flats of early
planted Paperwhites in a cool house; you
don't want many of them to come into
flower much before Thanksgiving or the
early part of December. During Novem-
ber make use of white Pompon 'Mums.
The slower Paperwhites are allowed to
come along, the better the stem and finer
the flowers. You can always bring a
few flats into heat should you want them
to come in for a certain date.

Hyacinths

Large and Small Sized Bulbs

Hyacinths are among the showiest of
all the Dutch bulbs we flower under
glass and even if they don't always pay
as well as they might, you should plant
at least a few of the largest top size bulbs
if for no other reason than to have them
coming on for the show house. Large
bulbs, a fair sized pot, good soil and
drainage; planting the bulbs early and
not forcing too hard makes for best re-
sults. For pans when it gets toward
Easter, miniature Hyacinths are the best
to use. Grown cool, they develop into
stocky plants holding their flower spikes
up almost without support. The white,
light pink and delicate blue varieties are
especially to be recommended for Easter
week. Plant the bulbs as soon as you
can and figure on bringing in a few pans
each week starting about January 20.
Up to the end of February, you will need
a dark place for the stock brought in from
the outside, in order to obtain a fair
sized item; from March on they don't
need it.

About Cannas

Don't Overwinter Poor Varieties

Don't lift a lot of undesirable Cannas
to be stored under the benches when you
can obtain the latest and best bedding
sorts in early Spring either in the shape
of dormant stock or 3% in. pot plants at
a reasonable price. The average florist
doesn't as yet push Cannas hard enough
or pay sufficient attention to the many
fine sorts which have appeared during the
past few years. Every once in a while
you see beds filled with out-of-date kinds
supplied by the local florist. Forget
about them this Fall; bring in only the
good ones; have as much soil around the '
eyes as you can and place the clumps on
boards below the Carnation bench, if you
have no better place. Look them over
every little while. Keeping the clumps
too dry is almost as bad as having them
too wet. Just moist enough so they don't
shrivel up, is what you want. By the end
of February, you can be thinking about
starting the first batch or place your or-
der for what you want in dormant eyes.
Next Summer for your satisfaction, give
10 or 15 of the newest sorts you are not
acquainted with, a trial on your own
grounds.

Ericas

Carry a Few of These Beautiful Plants

The best way to make this beautiful
class of plants become more popular is to
carry a good stock during the Winter and
early Spring months. The more people
see of them, the more they will buy and
the more the men sxiecializing in

Better Stock

Everyday stock will bring everyday prices; it is the unusual that is
wanted today. To turn out fancy stock and display it to best advantage
never paid better. If we want to stay in -the ring we must do more than
just grow and sell; grow better and grow yourself with it. Keep step
with the procession. There are a hundred chances today to one a few
years ago to sell flowers, and a hundred dollars to one a few years ago
to pay for them. The greater the wealth the higher quality stock will
be demanded, and higher prices for it. Never mind what it may ulti-
mately lead to; do your best now. Take advantage of every opportunity
to learn how to grow better stock and find improved methods in pre-
senting it to the public.

their culture will be encouraged to not
only grow more and better, but more va-
rieties. The retail grower can never
make the growing on of Ericas a paying
proposition but he can at this time of the
year, obtain from the specialist, nice
stock ranging from 4in. to 6in. pots and
he won't have the least trouble in carry-
ing the plants along in a cool house. One
around 45 deg. will suit until in flower.
You might say the same of Acacias, Aza-

clumps in the Fall, carry them in a
frame up to January 1, and then plant on
a bench in the Carnation house. You
will be able to take cuttings all Winter
which root as freely as a German Ivy
and the plants grown from cuttings rooted
up to March will all flower the first sea-
son. Of the later flowering Phloxes to
which such sorts as Elizabeth Campbell,
W. C. Egan and Mrs. Jenkins belong, one
can also root cuttings easily during the

Cineraria in a Five-inch Pot

You no doubt have seen much larger specimens, yet considering that the flowers on this plant
measured fully three and a half inches across and the ideal habit of the plant itself, this strain,
grown from California grown seed, is a great improvement. To obtain dense and not too large
foliage in compact form is most desirable. You can help along greatly by making use of rather
heavy soil when the plants need a shift from two's into large pots by allowing plenty of space
at all times between them and by growing them in a cool, yet sunny house

leas, Rhododendrons, Kalmias, etc. The
greater the variety of stock you carry,
the better, and none of the above men-
tioned require any special treatment
from November on, so long as you keep
the soil moist and don't expose them to
a hot dry atmosphere. Erica Melanthera,
which is fine for Christmas, can stand a
50 house or even a little over for a short
time in December if you want to hustle
things along a bit.

Hardy Phloxes

Growing On Young Stock

Phlox Suffruticosa Miss Lingard, which
to my mind, is the most useful of all the
hardy Phloxes, should never be allowed to
remain undivided in the field more than
two years, that is if you want strong
stems, good foliage and heavy flower
heads. It will start to flower by the
latter part of June. Being pure white
it comes in useful for many occasions. For
the florist with glass, the best way to
propagate this Phlox is to lift a few

Winter months, but a quicker way is to
remove some of the heavier roots from
field plants about this time, store them
away in flats of moist sand and bring
to the greenhouse in February. Take the
roots, cut them up into lin. long pieces.
Cover the bottom of 3in. deep flats with a
layer of soil over which spread a thin
layer of sand, followed by a thin layer
of . root pieces. Cover these with sand and
keep in a Carnation house. Every piece
of root will give you a plant flowering
the first Summer. Cutting away the
heavy roots won't hurt the plants in
the least; plant them out again.

Flowers for Cutting

During the Winter Months

With the retail grower, there is us-
ually a steady demand for cut flowers for
funerals during the Winter months and
it is for such occasions that a lot of stock
for which the wholesale grower hasn't
much use, such as double Alyssum, For-
getmenots and others come in very handy,

especially in a floral design. They will
answer every bit as well as high priced
Roses or Carnations; not to say that they
will answer in every case. If you have
use for such flowers, by all means plant
out a part of a bench with heavy 3in. or
3%iri. Primula obconica. A bench where
you had Chrysanthemums will do nicely,
but you should have a house just a little
above 50 and if you can provide just a
little shade above the plants when they
once start to flower, so much the better.
You may be looking for something to fol-
low the 'Mums which will furnish you
with a lot of useful flowers during the
Winter and early Spring months; if so,
plant Primula obconica now. It won't
hurt to plant out a few P. malacoides
also.

Murillo Tulips

Compared with other bulbs, Murillo
Tulips are quite reasonable in price, yet
they are very desirable for the florist for
forcing and equally good for pans or
when grown for cut flowers. The large,
double flowers are best when given a few-
days in a shaded, cool place when they
will change from white to soft pink. For
best results, plant the bulbs as soon as
you can and bring the first batch in not
much before the middle of February; keep
them below a bench in the dark but not
too hot, it is always well to allow four
weeks from the time they are brought in
until the flowers are cut. Don't subject
them to as severe forcing as the single
varieties such as La Reine or yellow
Prince. When forced hard, weak stems
and small flowers usually are the result.
Mavbe you have found in forcing double
Tulips, that they turned out disappoint-
ing, while bulbs from the same stor-v
planted outdoors produced perfect flow-
ers and well colored. Therefore, don't
bring in too many for your first batch to
be flowered indoors; the later you force,
the higher the percentage of good flowers
you will get and the better the quality.

Japanese Morning Glories

The September issue of the Missouri
Botanical Garden Bulletin contains some
interesting notes regarding the above.
Repeated attempts were made to raise
the dwarf form, without success until this
vear Seed obtained from Japan was
divided, half being sown in mid-February,
the remainder in June. The first sowing
produced plants that were mostly dwarf,
less than 1ft., with but few leaves and
huge flowers up to 5m. across, beed
saved from these dwarfs was sown as soon
as ripe, but all the plants climbed 15tt.
or more. The June sown batch of origi-
nal seed, curiously enough, produced no
dwarfs, all being tall, proving that the
dwarfness was not inherent in the strain
but influenced by the date of sowing.
The Japanese cultural directions sent
with the seed are included in the Bulletin,
and several illustrations of the dwarf
plants. . .

Another interesting article is the
"Medicinal Plants of Our Local Flora.
From this one can glean much interesting
data regarding wild plants. Who, for in-
stance, would imagine that Adiantum
pedatum, the wild Maidenhair fern, was
once esteemed for making syrup used for
chest and lung troubles, or that the But-
terfly weed, Asclepia tuberosa, had prop-
perties for inducing perspiration without
greatly increasing the heat of the body,
as well as being good for rheumatism,
pleurisy and typhoid fever?

Herald Gladioli

The new strain of Dutch Gladiolus
called the Herald is apparently attracting
attention. English growers are planting
it as it is said to bloom ahead of the
Nanus or Colvillei types, yet has flowers
twice the size. It can be forced to come
in with Wm. Copeland, the earliest of
all Darwin Tulips. The strain includes
salmon, pink, salmon and red and sal-
mon with a white blotch edged violet. In
England they may be planted in the
ground in the Fall if protection is Jiven.

This Nevo, White and Pink Variegated

Carnation

has proven so eminently satisfactory in every way that
I shall distribute it to the trade this season, instead
of next, as I had contemplated at first. I consider
E L D O R A a decided improvement over any varie-
gated Carnation. A truly commercial variety. If I did
not consider it such, I should not undertake to send it
out. It is of good commercial size, very prolific, making
no useless grass, with fine, strong stem, and it will not
split.

The Florists Exchange

Washington, D. C.

The tone of tbe local wholesale flower
market improved materially toward the
end of last week. Dealers reported that
they were selling plenty of flowers, but
despite this increased activity, they failed
to make much of an impression on the
stocks they had to offer. They declared
that there were at least three times as
many flowers on the market as it could
absorb, and they were kept busy potting
the consignments as they came to the
stores

The' oversupply is largely occasioned by
the heavy shipments of Dahlias to which
are added various kinds of outdoor flow-
ers such as Cosmos, Zinnias and Snap-
dragon. Chrysanthemums are also in
heavy supply, and although some good
specimens are coming m the prices are
comparatively low. Last week $4 per doz.
was decidedly the top figure, with a few
selling at that price, while other qualities
could be had down to $1.50 per doz. The
offerings are largely made up of October
Frost, Chrysolora, Unaka and Oconto.

Roses are suffering with respect to
salability along with other flowers with
which Dahlias and Chrysanthemums com-
pete. Prices as a whole are quite reason-
able considering the quality of the flowers.
Carnations are also too plentiful, and
while they are of good quality they make
ia poor average as to returns to the grow-
ers. American Beauty Roses are good
and are selling at about $6 per doz.

The end of the week found a decided
change in the temperature, and there was
some frost reported. However, it failed
to affect the Dahlia crop as much as the
growers of other ' stock desired, and
Dahlias are still offered in profusion. Re-
tail business has been picking up satis-
factorily. Weddings, dances and other
social events, and some large funerals,
have swelled the bookings at the various
retail establishments. Indications are
that the florists of Washington will ex-
perience rather a busy Fall. There is a
rumor that Congress will be called into
extra session about Nov. 20, w-hich will
advance the late Fall business somewhat
and increase the flower trade.

James Dalgleish of the Washington
store of J. H. Small & Sons, and Miss
Mabel Woodworth of New York City,
were quietly married in the great metrop-
olis last week. They are now back at
home to their friends at 1512 Varnum
St., N. W.

Milton Redman of the local store of
the S. S. Pennock Co. is enjoying (?) a
leave of absence from his place of em-
ployment. Mr. Redman, who has been
listening to all of the woes of the flower
business for some years, is now listening
to other tales as a member of the jury in
the criminal court.

Washington florists are rather sore
over the fact that Granville Gude, son
of William F. Gude, of Gude Brothers Co.,
who went all the way to New Orleans to
take the title of world's champion oars-
man away from Walter Hoover, in a
sculling match, was denied his chance
when the present title holder left the city
without giving any reason for cancelling
the race.

Young Gude is a member of the Poto-
mac Boat Club and has won a number of
races in and about Washington. It was
believed he had a chance of defeating
Hoover and annexing the title. That the
Washington florist had an excellent
chance was shown when he defeated two
New Orleans oarsmen so badly, that be-
fore a half-mile had been rowed, both his
opponents pulled back to the float and
forfeited the race. C. L. L.

Baltimore, Md.

The Market

Oct. 24. — Business is moving along
nicely, no wild rush, but conditions are
fast assuming the real Fall season look.
A heavy frost killed most of the Dahlias
and outdoor flowers last week. But the
passing of this stock has not left our
market stripped, as the greenhouse crops
are well under way. Chrysanthemums are
coming into their own and will feature the
market for a while. Arrivals are tak-
ing care of the demand. Roses are of
good quality and quoted with a wide dif-
ference as to price. Some extra Pre-
miers are well worth 25c, but this long
fancy stock is not selling fast.

Noteworthy Chrysanthemum arrivals
are Early Snow, October Queen, Sun
Glow, Richmond and Oconto, offered at
$3 to $4 per doz. The pink varieties are
very shy and there are few Pompons. Car-

nations are plentiful, especially white,
but the demand is weak. Orchids are on
about an even keel as to supply and de-
mand; single Violets are not showing up
much at present. Snapdragon arrivals
are light as a rule. Valley has had quite
a call the last few days and this stock is
A No. 1. No wild rush for Lilies; the
price is about $2.50 per doz. and this
quality blooms predominate. Greens of all
' kinds are plentiful and the Oak and
Autumn foliage is very beautiful.

Coontie leaves are in good supply and
surely do make up well in clusters and
bunches of flowers. The price is $3 per
100.
News Notes

The enterprising firm of Glick and
Guerth, one of our up to the minute
wholesale cut flower concerns, has just
completed the enlargement of their St.
Paul st. commission home and have now
ample space to handle all consignments.
On October 18 the firm's new branch at
Norfolk, Va., was opened, with Freddie
Guerth in charge for the present. The
boys are to be highly commended for their
progressive business spirit and we wish
them great success.

Peter Kohles is shipping some very
fancy Richmond 'Mums to Sieck and
Glick.

George A. Eberle will have his Fall
opeuing on Saturday. The new and at-
tractive front to his store is now com-
plete and the interior remodeled. It is
one of the most uptodate flower shops
hereabouts and Mr. Eberle deserves much
credit for its new and novel features.

Arthur S. Richmond has been growing
Roses for some years, but we have never
seen them in finer conditions than they
are this seasou. Columbia, Ophelia, Double
White Killarney and a bench of the new
American Legion are fine. This latter
Rose seems to favor his soil and treat-,
ment and is producing some high grade
flowers for so early in the season.

Carnations are almost a hobby with
Arthur and his plants show the care and
attention he has given them. A house
of Chrysanthemums are just as good as
the best. The whole place is in the pink
of condition.

Edward F. Holden has- two houses of
Chrysanthemums, midseason and late va-
rieties, that are hard to equal about this
old town.

Win. Keir is very busy in the nursery
department and last week successfully
moved some very large evergreen and or-
namental stock.

George Kress has his houses all in
shape for Winter and while the re-
glazing took much time, he did not neg-
lect the indoor planting and shaping up
the big line of cut flowers and plant
stock that he is required to furnish to
the store on Harford ave.

Laddie Carnations are showing great
promise and the 'Mums are as big as can
be found. A house of Pompons in fancy
varieties are just showing color. The
firm makes a specialty of pot Roses every
Spring. The stock is at present in the
field and has made wonderful growth con-
sidering the poor season.

J. J. Cummings & Sons are cutting a
heavy crop of fancy Roses and Chrysan-
themums.

Frank E. Cremer of Hanover, Pa., is
shipping some fine white Ophelia Roses to
William F. Ekas.

Jim Glass has a wonderful house of
Cyclamen plants rounding up. for Christ-
mas.

In addition to his cut flower, plant and
greens business, W. E. McKissick has
put in a full supply of ribbons and gen-
eral florists supplies. This will be of in-
terest to the many store customers and
will carry a quick service for local de-
livery.

Fritz Bahr's new book, "Commercial
Floriculture," is now ready and is hav-
ing a big sale among our local men, who
have been following Mr. Bahr for years,
through his writings in The Flokists Ex-
change.

Andy Hilscher says he wouldn't be with-
out it for ten times the price.

Holland Notes

Haarlem Dahlia Show

The third annual exhibition of the
Dutch Dahlia Society held on Friday,
Sept. 23, was highly successful. Broad
borders along the walls and a large cen-
tral bed contained thousands of Dahlia
plants and cut flowers.

Every grower who competes for a cer-
tificate of the Dutch Dahlia Society is
obliged to supply five plants of a new va-
riety for the trial garden and every mem-
ber of the society is allowed to see the
plants as soon as they are in flower. The
committee of the society visits the test
garden and makes awards to the plants
that answer to the severest demands of a
perfect Dahlia. A silver challenge cup
is given for the finest and most beautiful
variety. It must be won twice in succes-
sion or three times in all before it be-
comes personal property. In 1921 it
was won by J. G. Ballego with the dark
red Dahlia Mrs. Ballego and this year by
the same grower with the fine soft rosy,
Mrs. Dresselhuis.

In honor of the exhibition the whole
city of Haarlem was decorated with flags
and every shop had a show of Dahlias.
The Haarlem trade union presented for
this purpose 20,000 flowers and all grow-
ers in the neighborhood of the city dis-
tributed thousands of blooms at specially

are extremely high, especially for Nar-
cissus, Golden Spur, Double Van Sion,
Victoria and Emperor. Some kinds of
early single and double Tulips, too, made
double the prices of last season.

Orlando, Fla.

The Orlando Chamber of Commerce is-
sues monthly a well gotten up little maga-
zine dealing with Orlando. As a Winter
resort, Orlando is worthy of consideration
and if anyone is in doubt they would do
well to pay this rapidly growing center a
visit. Several good nurseries and florists
are located in or near Orlando.

Bartlesville, Okla. — Steinhauser's
greenhouse, of Third and Cherokee sts.,
is erecting a new building 40ft.x50ft., to
be completed in about two months. Mr.
Steinhauser is in the market for office
fixtures and equipment for the different
departments.

low prices. The leading Holland papers
were full of the Haarlem Dahlia show.

The central lawn contained a bed of
Pompon and dwarf Dahlias in pots. Adi-
antum and polypodiuni ferns and a group
of Decorative Dahlias, grown in pots,
were strong features also. The Dahlias
were grown by Van Waveren Bros., Hille-
gom. One variety named Hannie van
Waveren had 20in. stems and the rosy
flowers a diameter of 7in..

Mr. Hornsveld at Baarn, a giant among
the Dahlia growers, sent some of his
improved Cactus Dahlias. Reve d'amour,
soft rosy, and Extase, champagne color,
have remarkably strong stems.

J. Glasbergen, Ryndsburg, was awarded
a silver medal for a group of seedling
Decorative Dahlias. One of them gained
a certificate. Close by was a semi-circu-
lar bed of Mignon Dahlias, grown in
pots. The plants were only one foot
high. This group was shown by Mr.
Dominicus of Schiedam.

Mr. Carlee. the well known florist of
Heemstede had a surpassing display. His
arrangement contained Pompon, Decora-
tive and Collerette varieties. The dark
red King Harold, Mrs. Krelage, white
garden Cactus; Collerette, Fuga, En-
chantress, rosy pink Decorative; and
Chamoisroschen, a champagne colored
Pompon, were fine. This group gained the
golden medal of the H. M. the Queen.

Ludwig Bros., Hillegom, showed a snow
white Decorative without any trace of
green or yellow in the center, named
Mount Everest. It has a dial meter of
6% in. The shape is perfect; the 40 stem
is very strong. This gained a certificate.

Another notable exhibitor was J. G.
Ballego, Leiden. Mrs. Ballego, dark red,
and Mrs. Dresselhuis, rose pink, were
specially fine varieties. His exhibit was
awarded a silver gilt medal and also a
silver placque.

Parcel Post Carrying Charges

Rumors have recently been circulated
that the Post Office Department intends
putting an additional rate of three cents
per package on all parcel post packages
after Jan. 1, 1923.

The Committee on Postal Laws of the
American Seed Trade Association request-
ed a definite statement from the Acting
Third Assistant Postmaster General, and
his reply is as follows:

"I am in receipt of your letter of the
11th instant, which the Postmaster Gen-
eral has referred to me, in regard to a
proposed change in postage rates on
fourth class or parcel post mail.

"While the matter of a general read-
justment of postage rates, including par-
cel post rates is receiving consideration,
no change has as yet been decided upon.
Arrangements are being made to collect
data as to weight, number of pieces, etc.,
with respect to mail with a view of as-
certaining the cost of carrying and handl-
ing the various classes. It is not known
at this time when these results will be
available.

"Anything you desire to> submit will,
of course, be given consideration."

Dahlia Novelties in Europe

The General Bulb Growers Society of
Haarlem, Holland, during the present sea-
son, has granted to new Dahlias no less
than ten first class certificates, namely,
Cactus, 3; Decorative, 5; Pompon, 2.
Awards of merit have been granted as
follows : Cactus, 1 ; Decorative, 35 ; Col-
lerette, 1; Peony flowered, 1; Pompon, 9;
Rosette, 5. Certificates after trial at
the Haarlem test plot have been granted
as follows: Cactus, 3; Decorative, 20;
Peony, 2; Pompon, 4; Rosette, 3.

We may add that the N. D. S. and
R. H. S. of Great Britain have certifi-
cated or ordered for trial fully as many,
so United States enthusiasts may disa-
buse their minds of the assumption that
they are controlling the destinies of the
Dahlia. Judging by the reports, the
Holland growers are producing some won-
derfully fine garden varieties of Dahlias,
good enough to induce the English writers
to speak mostly highly of them.

Ave might add, too, that we have a
letter from a famous English bulb growing
concern wherein the writer comments on
the American raised Gladioli tried out
this year. Praise is given to some of
the Primulinus forms, but he adds, in
the long run, the American sorts are not
equal to what the Hollanders are pro-
ducing. Coming from a calm, discriminat-
ing grower, who controls hundreds of acres
of bulbs and other flowering stock, and
who has not so much interest in the prod-
ucts of others as he has in his own, he
being a keen hybridist, we cannot but
wonder what we are missing.

Encephalartos villosus

A South African Cycad

ACCORDING to Bailey's Cyclopedia
of Horticulture, plants of Encepha-
lartos seldom bear seeds in con-
servatories. Seeing a seed bearing plant
of Encephalartos villosus in Horticultural
Hall, Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, it
was photographed to give readers an op-
portunity to see the fruiting cone which
expelled the seed during the entire month
of February. Unfortunately, the photo-
graph cannot convey the brilliant scarlet
of the highly ornamental seed, nestled be-
tween the greenish yellow scales, which
make up the large pineapple-like cone.
But to get a fair idea of the formation,
we arranged for the photograph of one of
these scales as shown at the lower left-
hand side of the plant label seen in the
photograph. On either side of this has
been placed the scarlet seeds in the same
upright position they would occupy if
both were moved into this scale. Then
by inserting the upper or pointed end of
this scale, containing the two seeds, into
the core of the "pineapple," one may get
an idea of the formation of the entire
seed cone and see how these attractive
seeds are exposed and released as the
scales, one by one, fall out over a period
of a month. A similar plant in Horticul-
tural Hall has three crowns each bearing
a seed cone.

As our photograph will indicate, the
long fronds of this South African Cycad
are too ungainly for a small conservatory,
unless as a centerpiece; but for public ex-
hibition, where there is room for it to
grow, the attractiveness of its fruiting
cone alone justifies including it in collec-
tions.

Another fruiting plant in Horticultural
Hall that attracted attention was the
Pandanus utilis or Screw Pine. It is
probably 40ft. high, and although added
to the collection 20 years ago (it was then
a good size plant in a tub) this is the
first time, to the knowledge of the su-
perintendent, that it has borne fruit. The
seeds are hard as bone, of an attractive
golden yellow, about one inch long and
irregular sides formed by their clustering
around a "button ball" about 8in. in
diameter. This ball ripened early in
February and surprised attendants with
an unexpected shower of the golden seed
like huge grains of corn.

Samuel Newman Baxter.

A Dwarf Bush Honeysuckle of Merit

Although Lonicera pileata was intro-
duced by Dr. Wilson into the Arnold Ar-
boretum where it first flowered back in
1913, it is still uncommon in collections.
The writer, about a year ago, had the
pleasure of seeing a fine block of this lit-
tle Chinese Bush Honeysuckle in a nur-
sery near Philadelphia which augurs well
for the dissemination which it well de-
serves. While the small, fragrant yellow
flowers are not conspicuous, the prostrate
habit of growth is unique, reminding one
of the Cotoneaster horizontalis. In fact,
the small glossy green leaves are also
similar to the Cotoneaster or to Box.
Doubtless it is evergreen in southern sec-
tions.

Although suggestive first for use as a
rock garden shrub, it will undoubtedly
find its way for use as a foreground
plant for shrubbery beds. Landscape
architects would welcome it if brought to
their attention, for it is really a distinc-
tive shrub.

Samuel Newman Baxtee.

RICHARD M. WYMAN met us at the depot and
drove us up to the Framingham Nurseries,
Framingham, Mass. The first thing noticed was
a considerable stretch of "wild" land and some sort
of digging going on there. We were informed that
this was to be a drain ditch to redeem the low level
acreage then going to waste there.

To me, the surprising thing was that the ditch was
to be blasted. But surprise changed to admiration
when Mr. Wyman informed us the operation would
cost only between 16c. and 20c. per linear foot, includ-
ing material and labor. It will be, when completed,
3600ft. in length, 3ft. deep and tapering in width
from 5ft. to 2%ft. at the bottom. Estimated require-
ments included one ton of dynamite.

When this operation is finished a considerably
larger acreage will be added to the 200 now planted
to nursery stock. Over 420 acres are owned by the
Framingham Nurseries.

Some Andromeda floribunda noticed was, we were
informed, raised from seed. This operation, Mr.
Wyman stated, cost no more than collecting it in its
native state — and certainly it makes for tremendously
better plants.

Some nice Azalea Kaempferi was pointed out, with
the remark that the landscape architects and retail-
ers were calling for it quite heavily of late.

A feature noticed here was a triple row of hedges
for display purposes. First a line of specimen Ber-
beris Thunbergii. Then peering over the top of this,
a hedge of Ibota Privet. Surmounting the two and
in the rear was a row of Amoor. This triple hedge
not only makes for quick salesmanship — but sure

salesmanship, because the customer can compare the
hedges in a moment and decide.

"Barberry" Burr

Some 500 acres are to be seen — mostly in stock —
and the various properties are spread over two or
three miles around Manchester, Conn., a hundred
acres or so at a time. So the visitor finds it impos-
sible to carry away a unified impression.

The office first. It strikes one immediately as
being in taste and being thoroughly equipped. The
outbuildings are modern and of high standard. A new
storage cellar was being finished when we called. The
construction is all concrete, with wooden roof.

As the pseudonym in the subtitle would imply,
Japanese Barberry is here at its home. We cannot
give an actual estimate of the number of plants, but
we can assure the trade that stock is ample. Quality
seems to he excellent throughout.

The evergreens at Wapping are nice stock and va-
rieties iuclude most of the standards. One hundred
acres at Ellington are devoted to deciduous stock,
Barberry, Privet, and Roses.

A wonderful stand of fruits was noted at Oakland.
Peaches totalling over 150,000 include all the well-
known varieties. The Apples — 2 year buds — were
scheduled to run no less than 85 per cent number ones,

Adams Nursery Co.

Outside "f Springfield, Mass., on the other side of
the river, the visitor gets a view of what has been
called the most beautiful nursery in Massachusetts.
Some 60 acres are devoted to growing here, and the
operations are as much retail as wholesale. A fine
office and range of outbuildings are well set off with
decorative planting.

A feature of the architecture near the office is the
hedges. These include Japanese Barberry and Ibota,
California and Amoor Privet.

The main part of the acreage, perhaps, is given
over to evergreens and all varieties are to be seen.
Considerable florist stock is also available, including
some fine Daphne Cneorum, which we understand is
now being offered to the trade.

Two miles away, on a hill which overlooks the
highway, a field of riotous color locates several acres
devoted to Phlox. Mr. Adams assured us that this
was as much for advertising purposes as anything.
A large signboard bearing the name of the firm is
placed in the rear of the field.

Brainard of Thompsonville

The Brainard -Seed & Nursery Co., as its name im-
plies, has other interests besides nursery stock. In
fact, some 12,000ft. of glass are included in the equip-
ment, not all of which is used for nursery propaga-
tions. The acreage is small — some five acres at the
office and a block of ten acres located about a mile
away.

The first thing noticed was the Koster Blue Spruce.
It is our opinion that the color attained in these
plants surpasses anything we have seen. A youthful
Hollander is in charge of this end of the work.

Worthy of comment is the method of propagating
Hydrangeas. Mr. Brainard informed us he had uni-
formly bad luck with soft wood cuttings and has
lately adopted a new method. A cutting is grafted
to a root cutting now, and although the work at the
time takes longer, he can save almost a season's
growth, once the plant is started. "A root cutting
made in March," said Mr. Brainard, "is as good as a
soft wood cutting propagated the July previous."

This firm has been supplying pot grown evergreens
to the wholesale trade and this end of the work will
be gone into more heavily next year. Greater atten-
tion will be paid to young evergreens generally here
in the years to come.

Ginkgo biloba in England

Autumn of 1919, no authentic record of
its fruiting in England appears to exist.
The male and female flowers are borne
on separate trees, and curiously enough,
all the larger trees in Britain, though, no
doubt, seedlings, appear to be males. At
one time it was said to be possible to
distinguish the sex of the tree by its
growth, the male being upright in growth,
and the branches of the female more or
less spreading.

During E. H. Wilson's extensive tours
in China and Japan he made many in-
quiries on this point, the result being that
he found it impossible to determine the
sex by its mode of growth, in which
Chinese and Japanese arboriculturists
agreed.

Ginkgo biloba was first introduced to
Britain about 1760, the Kew tree being
planted in its present position in 1760 or
1761. It bore the first flowers, which
proved to be male, in 1795. The tree pro-
duced quantities of staminate flowers in
most years, and it was for this reason that
shoots from the famous female tree in
Montpellier Botanic garden were obtained
in February, 1911. Several of the grafts
united satisfactorily, but it was not until
the Autumn of 1919 that the first fruits
were produced. This year the grafts are
carrying a heavy crop of fruits. The
fruits, or, to be strictly botanical, the
seeds with a fleshy covering, are bright
yellow, a little over lin. long, borne on
"stalks l^in. to 2in. long. The fleshy por-
tion has a disagreeable smell, but the
kernel of the seed is roasted and eaten in
China and Japan.

In addition to the propagation of the
Ginkgo by seeds the identity of the young
plants as male or female can be deter-
mined by the propagation of cuttings.
There are small plants at Kew, rooted
from cuttings made of the young growths,
with a thin heel of the old wood, in-
serted this year in June in a close propa-
gating frame with the slight bottom heat.
— The Gardeners Chronicle, London.
[According to Bailey, the Ginkgo is free-
ly planted as a street tree in Washing-
ton, D. C., and it would seem that male
and female plants are quite common,
thereby making the Ginkgo objectionable
because of its foul smelling fruits. The
propagation of staminate plants from
cuttings is therefore recommended. Fuller
mentions that the Ginkgo in America is
mostly raised from seed imported from
the Orient. — Ed.]

Dyed Trees

Experiments are being made in the
Weser district in Germany, with a view
to producing colored trees, and a strik-
ing initial success has already been re-
ported.

An area of several acres has been set
apart for the purpose in a large forest
near the town of Uslar. Every tree in
this area is hung with a receptacle con-
taining red or blue coloring matter, which
is directed, by means of a rubber tube,
into the roots of the tree. Electricity
also plays a part in the coloring process.
The coloring matter makes its way, within
about four weeks, to the uttermost ends
of the branches' and the smallest twigs,
in some cases up to a height of twenty
yards. The tree then dies off, and is felled
and cut into timber. The wood thus ob-
tained is used for various purposes, es-
pecially for the making of furniture.

The part of the forest where the ex-
periments are being carried on may al-
ready be noticed from afar off, by the
red or blue tint of the foliage.

Trade Notes

The market has felt a great short-
age in all flowers the past couple of
weeks. Hoses, 'Mums, Dahlias and Mari-
golds are about all in season. The demand
being quite heavy, caused great difficulty
for all retailers. Some of the growers
themselves are glad to pick up what stock
is available. The dark weather is part-
ly responsible; a little sunshine would
help the Roses and 'Mums wonderfully.
A few Violets are showing up\ but not
as they should. Naturally the first crop
is little off color.

The retailers are having good business;
many Fall weddings, debutante parties,
etc., demand flowers arranged in gorgeous
ways which lend more grandeur to the
occasion. Buffalo is certainly having her
share this season.

News Notes

The Wm. Scott Co.'s crop of Chrys-
anthemums being very slow this year,
causes them to seek blooms from other
centers. Nevertheless, they will gladly
welcome their Chrysanthemums for later
season work.

The large chimney at the greenhouses
of Charles Sandiford suffered a calamity
this past week. The severe wind storm
blew it to the ground. It is fortunate it
was not in the cold weather season.

Both the Palmer stores employees en-
joyed a much to be remembered evening
spent at St. James' Church hall recently.

Retail Notes

Oct. 2. — To be perfectly frank busi-
ness is like the old gray mare; not what
she used to be. August was pretty dull
as was expected; September was excep-
tionally good and the mercury in the
thermometer of hope and expectancy went
kiting past the normal mark, but for Oc-
tober it giadually dropped until at the
tail end of the month, it is nearing bot-
tom. Even in funerals there is only an
occasional demand to use up any surplus
flowers, and as previously announced, the
rest of the world has gone politically
mad. No amount of advertising will help
the situation.

The window displays are worthy of
better business. Walter Hammond and
Mrs. Geo. Goldbach both have green and
gold effects that catch the eye of the pass-
erby. Miss Carrie Steekman has plants
ana cut flowers both well featured in her
window display; the Rosary features bulbs
and cut flowers and the B. F. Barr win-
dows are always a source of pleasure.
In spite of all this, sales are slow.

The Growers End

Here we have the opposite condi-
tion; business is good; that is, the busi-
ness of shipping a lot of good stock into
the city markets; just what the returns
will be is not a safe guess.

— Providing the glass cloth is new, the
amount of shade it would cast in the

the cloth darkens with age, losing much
of its wax coating, which makes it suscep-

Bobbink & Atkins, Rutherford, N. J.

Not unknown to world at large is this
firm; indeed, it is doubtful whether there
are many, if any, firms in the country
handling more lines and in greater quan-
tities than B. & A. One would need
plenty of time and a good guide to see
all the ground cultivated by this concern,
for while the headquarters at Rutherford
covers less than 50 acres, a goodly portion
covered with glass, offices, storage and
packing sheds, the main area is several
miles distant. Altogether, B. & A. con-
trol about 600 acres and, unlike the gen-
eral run of large nursery concerns, they
are florist growers in a big way. Much
of the glass is devoted to florists' stock,
that is pot plants and flowers used by re-
tail florists. True, they do not force
Boses, nor grow Carnations for cutting,
but they are in a position to supply the
florist with lots of things in season and
some things that are not easily obtainable
elsewhere.

Azaleas by the Thousand

If you want five or ten thousand true
Boston ferns B. & A. can supply
them; I saw ten houses of them, each
house at least 120ft.xl2ft. Araucarias,
three tiers and up, are not plentiful in
these days, but B. & A., in early Septem-
ber, had a huge lath house filled with
them. A thousand could be shipped away
without making much impression. And
when it comes to Azalea indica, it is safe
bet that B. & A. have more plants large
enough for 3in. up to 8in. pots than can
be found in any dozen places in the U. S.,
irrespective of the babies recently propa-
gated. Two men amuse themselves work-
ing these latter from August on and by
the time they finish it isn't a case of ten
thousand, but tens of thousands. In
the open the Azalea patch is made up of
a series of beds, each containing about
1000. The plants range from one to
three years old, and the total? Not even
B. & A.'s propagator would venture it.
Off hand, I would hazard the patch cov-
ers fully two acres and the plants look
like a sea of green. Some job to get
these plants under cover before Winter
and to guard against frost before the
work is complete, temporary canvas awn-
ings are stretched over them in the Fall.
Some respectable houses and sheds are re-
quired to house this batch of Azaleas.

Another line not seen in quantity else-
where is the India Rubber plant, Ficus
elastica. The stock plants alone at B. &
A.'s would fill a house of considerable
size; the younger plants filled several
frames, but generally they are sold rapid-
ly, so that no great stock of them is
ever on hand. The Rubbers and Arauca-

rias entirely fill B. & A.'s largest house
in Winter, a house apparently about
500ft.x50ft.; I am guessing at things for
everyone was too busy to act as a pilot.
I had carte blanche to go around.

Aucuba japonica is a subject largely
handled in pots and odd as it may seem,
B. & A. have Aucuba japonica crotoni-
folia, recently reported as a new sport in
England. It originally appeared in Bel-
gium and B. & A. have been growing it
for some 20 years, which goes to show
that the Rutherford firm stocks anything
and everything worth while.

Fifty Hands Propagating Ivy

It was a dismally dull day; it had
rained in sheets the night before and a
damp mist hung over everything, blotting

is not nearly sufficient. In addition, I
found a huge steel framed and concrete
walled building well on the way toward
completion. More storage room, I imag-
ine. This building is at least 100ft.x80ft.
The garage on this place is about this
size, too, and as for the packing and
shipping room, with its landing stages for
trucks to back against, I guess it is at
least 100ft. square.

As might be imagined the B. & A. out-
fit is pretty much self sustaining with its
own blacksmith shop and box making de-
partment. The heating plant is big enough
for an ocean liner. The propagating house
where tree and shrub seeds are raised
is some 250ft.xl0ft., a leanto, built against
one of the big storage sheds.

Ericas in Summer Quarters at Bobbink & Atkins* Nurseries

The picture does not cover the entire block which extends considerably to the left

out much daylight. At first, I wondered
where all the workers were — B. & A. have
a staff of several hundreds most of the
time — but I found over 50 in a big lighted
shed propagating English Ivy. Imagine
it; a dozen or so were potting the cut-
tings, the others were cutting up the
plants. I found another little mob busy
building concrete walls for more green-
houses; evidently the present glass area

Outdoor Stock

In the way of outdoor stock, the Ruth-
erford establishment is not much devot-
ed to shrubs and trees; in a sense it is
only a show place and no big lots of
such stock are kept there. A few big
Rhododendrons are to be seen near the
entrance but it must be admitted they
don't look so happy as the young stock

sheltered by slats. Quantities of young
Box, Genista scoparia, Cotoneasters were
noted, and small breaks of evergreens
and conifers and deciduous trees. Near
the offices, an acre patch of Cannas was a
blaze of color, The President being the
dominant feature.

The Rose Test Plot

Farther over, I came across the Rose
test plot, where bush and climbers cover
about half an acre. Farther on was an-
other block of bush varieties and a patch
of standards that would total several
thousands. These standards were happier
than the bush, inasmuch as black spot, the
bane of Rose growers this season, had not
touched them. Rutherford, however, is
not the center of B. & A.'s Rose output;
it is merely the show place and, in the
main, the plants there are for display.
The budding is done at the Paterson
Nurseries, where, maybe half a million
are worked. Some people imagine field
grown Roses are a new stunt for America;
B. & A. began budding Roses in the field
20 years ago and have been at it ever
since. They have tried every kind of
stock and now use Multiflora. The
standards are on Rugosa, but these |
stocks are no longer allowed entry ._ B. &
A. intend to try and raise their own
standard stocks, but owing to the hot, i
dry Summer, it may not be easy to get
good straight stems. Among bush varieties ,
I might mention that B. & A. have al-
ways classed Duchess of Wellington as
one of the finest yellows for the open; it
certainly does better with them than I j
have seen it in England. Despite the de-
luge the night before, it was fine, so was
Mme. Herriott, Mme. C. Rostand, Mrs.
W. C. Miller, Wm. F. Dreer and Lolita
Armour. Other good new sorts noted
were: Edel, C. K. Douglas, Emma
Wright, Mrs. Geo. Marriott, Mrs. H. Bal-
four, Mrs. Henry Morse, Pres. Wilson,
Souv. Claudius Pernet, Queen Alexan-
dra and Independence Day. B. & A.
have probably the largest collection of
new Roses in the United states.

Of Ramblers and climbing species, I
guess the trial patch contains nearly 200
sorts, all tied to tall pillars. All told,
nearly 1000 varieties of Roses are handled
by B. & A., either for trial or sale.

It is a long time since I saw a batch of
espalier trained Apples and Pears; B. &
A. have a splendid lot and many well
grown bushes too. These apparently are
grown for gardening people who are fa-
miliar with European methods. Straw-
berries in pots were visible in huge quan-
tities also.

Hardy Perennials

The hardy plant Collection at Ruther-
ford is considerable; the frames used
probably cover an acre while more open
acres are devoted to stock of all kinds.
Polyanthus Primroses under slats were
looking fine and P. japonica too. Other

Bobbink & Atkins' Stock of Azalea Indica in the Open Ground

Note the overhead watering pipes and the stumps which, in the late Fall support the screens
which serve as protection against early frosts. The plants range from one to three years
old. This block extends beyond the clear range of the camera and probably contains well
"over a quarter of a million plants

frames contained various Campanulas and
many sorts of rockery plants. Viola cor-
nuta was flowering freely, although I
confess I much prefer the select form I
grow myself. Several sorts of bedding
Violas were noted also and a mighty
big batch of Canterbury Bells.

Irises cover a huge area, and Delphi-
niums were to be seen in several situa-
tions, some named sorts among them. As
with most growers this season, rust had
appeared here and there although not se-
riously.

Ericas Galore

Near the offices is a patch of an acre
or more, and almost entirely devoted to
Ericas, mostly Melanthera, in pots; won-
derfully fine plants which early next sea-
son will furnish many a florist with
stock he will be proud to sell. Genistas
fill part of the space and these, too, are
prime. A big lot of frames adjoins this
plot, and here the Ivy cuttings and other
newly propagated stock reposed.

Of the Paterson nurseries I saw noth-
ing, so cannot refer to them. Nor have I
space to speak fully of the palm houses,
the quantities of Aspidistras, the Grape
vines in pots, the Kalmia, Rhododendron
and other seedlings, the big blocks of
Wallflowers, Hollyhocks, Aquilegias, Eri-
gerons, hardy Azaleas, pot Solanums,
etc., etc.

It's a pretty extensive place, is B. & A.'s,
and when a perpetually rainy season
such as this prevails, it is some job to
keep weeds down; in fact, it's utterly im-
possible, for when it rains daily as it
did during several periods in July, August
and early September, the hoe is useless,
particularly when the rains just hammer
everything into the ground again. New
Jersey growers have had a tough time
this season for likely as not newly planted
stock was simply washed out. I live in
New Jersey myself, and know. W.

J. Ebb Weir & Co, Inc., Brooklyn,
N. Y.

If the 75,000 sq. ft. of glass and con-
siderable sash of J. Ebb Weir & Co., Inc.
were tucked away in the country instead
of within the city limits of Greater New
York, it is our guess that they would have
found it necessary to advertise their
wholesale pot plant business in strong
fashion far and wide, and thus the trade
would have a greater appreciation of
this true beehive of activity.

The first stock to greet the eye at the
greenhouses on Ft. Hamilton ave. was a
batch of Pansy seedlings from which 75,-
000 flowering plants are expected next
Spring. The firm naturally needs Ivy in
quantity for its cemetery work, so that
the mass of particularly fine cuttings now
being transferred to the greenhouses for
insertion in sand, for planting out next
Spring, was not surprising. These cut-
tings should yield fully 80,000 strong
plants two years hence.

Well stocked houses of Cibotium, Poly-
podium, Boston, Teddy, Jr., and Whit-
mani ferns were next visited. Then we
saw a house of Begonias, of which the
firm is justly proud. Melior, Peterson
and Cincinnati are the varieties grown.
Upstanding plants, these, which should
meet every expectation. The Poinsettias,
we must confess, compelled our attention
more than anything else. Three houses
are devoted to this item, and a splendid
lot of plants friend Landsman, the grow-
er in charge, has developing for the com-
ing holiday season.

Chrysanthemums, grown principally for
cut bloom, are naturally receiving par-
ticular attention just now. Unaka, Chry-
solora and Oconto are being cut at the
present time. Turner, Bonnaffon and
Chas. Rager will be cut later. Lilies, too,
are cut for market in steady supply, as
they are grown by the firm all the year
round. Some 50,000 Geranium plants are
now on hand, two-thirds of which the firm
needs for its own use. Other lines of stock
include Dracasnas, Cherries, Callas, Heath-
er, Cyclamen, Primula, Cineraria and Al-
ternantheras, all in thriving condition.
The Rambler Roses grown in the field,
to be lifted next month, only partially
supply the firm's needs, additional stock
being secured elsewhere.

An interesting project, showing atten-
tion to the important elements, is the now
almost completed installation of a 100
H. P. Erie boiler to function as a cen-
tral heating plant for about one-third of
the glass. This new boiler should show
a substantial saving in fuel, as it will
replace seven individual boilers. Inci-
dentally, Mr. Dauernheim, the treasurer
and general manager, has laid in a stock
of soft coal and coke in sufficient quan-
tity to take care of their requirements up
to February next.

A staff of nearly 100 is necessary for
the maintenance of the activities of this
concern, which comprises a wholesale pot
plant trade, the growing of cut flowers
for market, a retail department for the
execution of home planting in particular,
and last, but by no means least, their
Greenwood Cemetery work, a specialty
with them.

The personnel of the organization is J.
Ebb Weir, president; A. M. Dauernheim,
treasurer and general manager, and A.
W. Hawkins, secretary. The company,
by the. way, is a member of the F. T. D.

Bangor, Me.

During the past week there has been a
series of sudden changes in temperature
and weather. The first part of the week
was exceedingly warm and muggy; this
was followed by a sudden drop of the
temperature to well down toward zero.
The cold snap was heralded by a blinding
snowrstorm and high winds. A second
snowstorm followed, the snow falling to
considerable depth in the northern part
of the State. It is warmer today, Satur-
day, and it is hoped that during the com-
ing three weeks the temperature will
run higher.

Holland bulbs have at last reached all
dealers and florists buying direct from
Holland, and the stock is moving rapidly.
Many thousands of bulbs are being plant-
ed for cut flower and pot plant use dur-
ing the coming Winter months.

sary to start the fires going and it is a

Hands Across the Border

Since the F. T. D. meeting of 1921 in Toronto flo-
rists of the United States have had a new and illum-
inating idea of their Canadian colleagues and their
industry. It is not unlikely that at the same time the
Dominion tradesmen learned some things they had
not known about their trade brethren from the South.
Certain it is that a better mutual understanding, a
more cordial fellowship, a keener spirit of cooperation
between the trades of the two nations have been
steadily forming and crystallizing during the last
few years.

It is going to be the enjoyable task and valued
privilege of The Florists Exchange to endeavor tc
develop and intensify this friendship and cooperation
through the medium of a "Horticulture in Canada"
Department that appears for the first time this week.
We consider ourselves most fortunate in having se-
cured the services of W. E. Groves, of Hamilton, to
direct this feature and to represent Exchange inter-
ests in our neighbor nation. We congratulate the
horticulture of Canada upon the selection of this man
as their spokesman ; we congratulate our readers in
the United States that they are to have the progress
of Canadian horticulture reviewed by so keen, so well
informed, so broadminded and capable on observer.
Frankly, we look for great things from this innova-
tion.

It is peculiarly fitting, in our opinion, that Mr.
Groves's first contribution to this department should
deal with so significant a body as the new Canadian
Horticultural Council. If, at first we feel an instinc-
tive twinge of regret that Canada rather than the
United States should have been the first in the West-
ern Hemisphere to inaugurate this scheme of a nation-
wide, representative centralized organization^ of horti-
cultural interests — which for some years we have
been advocating and urging upon the trade — never-
theless we can rejoice that the idea as so splendidly
exemplified in the English Chamber of Horticulture
has, at last, come to America. It is inevitable, it
seems to us, that it will spread and take root in this
country as well as in the Dominion.

There is a splendid challenge, a lofty inspiration in
this report of progress in the land of the Maple Leaf.
There will be others in our Canadian Department
from time to time. The possibilities of local, sectional,
national and international benefit therefrom are al-
most unlimited.

/
Cooperative advertising in Spokane, Wash., has
been discontinued owing to disagreement between
growers and retailers. Too bad.

The season for Fall shows is practically upon us
and the next several weeks will be active ones, espe-
cially for the growers who furnish the exhibits.

Due to inability to import freely, our growers and
importers of plants and bulbs are not likely to be
greatly interested in the United States Tariff Com-
mission which in future is to decide on customs du-
ties. This Commission will shortly inaugurate the
work for which it was created.

Much disappointment is manifest at the failure of
national champion Walter Hoover to accept Gran-
ville Gude's challenge to a special sculling match.
There is much in young Gude's brief but remarkable
career to suggest that he could give the champion a
stiff contest. It is up to Hoover to prove that he
really is the superior oarsman of the two.

Plant Growers Adopt New Credit Rules

On Nov. 1, 1922, the new credit rules of the N. Y.
& X. J. Association of Plant Growers will become ef-
fective. All merchandise sold after that date will be
on the new credit basis.

Under the new system, all merchandise will be
billed on the first day of the month following delivery.
One month thereafter, if the account remains unpaid,
a, statement will be rendered with a notice to the
..effect that unless, the. account is paid within ten days
the customer will be reported as a delinquent. If the
account remains unpaid for an additional ten days,
the customer will be reported as a delinquent and his
credit will cease and sales will he made on a cash
basis only until the account is reported paid.

The members of. the association feel that this new
credit ruling will be for the mutual benefit of the
growers and their customers and will establish uni-
formity in the matter of credit in their branch of the
trade: William H. Siebkeght, Jk.,

Queens Plaza Court, L. I. City. Secretary.

More Trees for America

An important sequel of the Plan to Plant Another
Tree campaign is the designation throughout the coun-
try of Oct. 27 to Nov. 3 as Tree Planting Week. With
official recognition and approval by many of the Gov-
ernors the organized nurserymen of the United States
have planned a special advertising drive as well as
an especially vigorous educational effort with a view
to pouring fuel on the flame of public interest in
growing things that is gradually being kindled
throughout the land.

This is a cause that merits as well as demands the
support of every horticulturist, every conservationist ;
every citizen, in fact, who desires the welfare of the
nation. For trees not only beautify the countryside,
make homes more attractive, provide wholesome,
food and grateful shade, and supply a vast accufula-
tion of essential materials for a variety of uses. They
also conserve the moisture upon which the growth of
the nation's crops depend, protect the earth from ero-
sion and destruction, and prevent disastrous floods
that wreak untold damage upon the defenseless low-
lands.

It is, then, not a question of whether or not a man
is interested in tree planting — every man and woman
and child is, or should be, that. It is simply a ques-
tion of the extent of his interest and the manner and
degree in which he can express it and make it con-
tribute to the national welfare. Whether it is a
potted conifer for the veranda, a living Christmas tree
for the back yard, a fruit or flowering ornamental
for the home grounds, a windbreak, an orchard, or
the reforestation of ten thousand acres — the addition
of every single tree to the nation's total is a step in
the right direction.

Happy the man who can take part in a program
of such tremendous import and service. Thrice happy
and privileged he who, like the professional horti-
culturist, can also spread the gospel of the campaign
and pass on its inspiration to others.

Florists, seedsmen, nurserymen— readers of The
Exchange one and all — don't fail to do your part in
the promotion of National Tree Planting Week — Oct.
27 to Nov. 3.

Another Organization to Study
Qu. 37

:

GREATER NEW YORK," the official publication
of the Merchants Association of New York,
carries in its Oct. 23 issue the following state-
ment under the heading, "Special Committee — On
Federal Horticultural Board Activities:"

President Lewis E. Pierson has announced the ap-
pointment of a special committee of The Merchants'
Association to consider the activities and rulings of
the Federal Horticultural Board of the Department
of Agriculture.

That Board was authorized by Congress in legis-
lation effective Oct. 1, 1912. The Board is composed
of persons connected with various divisions of the
Department of Agriculture and formulates recommen-
dations which are made to the Secretary of Agricul-
ture, in connection with the importation of nursery
stock and other plants and plant products.

The first meeting of the committee is to be held on
Thursday, Oct. 26, in the offices of the association.
The personnel is as follows :

Arthur Williams, chairman, general commercial
manager of the New York Edison Co.

Leonard Barron, editor of The Garden Magazine.

Dr. N. L. Britton, director-in-chief of the New York
Botanical Garden.

Dr. C. Stuart Gager, director of the Brooklyn Bo-
tanic Garden.

Frank H. Henry, Henry and Lee.

Frederic W. Kelsey, F. W. Kelsey Nursery Co.

James Mellutchison, Mcllutchison & Co.

William A. Sperling, secretary of the Stumpp &

What About Hallowe'en?

The frost may not yet be on the pumpkin, and the
corn may not be in that shocking or shocked condition
referred to by the poet — but All Hallowe'en . is close
at hand, with all its quaint traditions, its mystic mes-
sages and its unique opportunities for the florist.

We have, we must confess, no new or exciting ideas
about how to get more business on that day. But we
feel sure that if several thousand live retailers will
let their thoughts play upon the problem for a few
minutes there will result some splendid schemes for
window decoration, special publicity, increased sales
and greater public interest generally.

The real purpose of these paragraphs, then, is to
ask any reader who does evolve something new or
different or especially successful in the Hallowe'en
line (or who comes across something that someone
else has evolved ) to tell us about it — how it was done
and what it accomplished. Passed on to the brethren
generally it may be responsible for who knows how
much benefit and gratification in years to come.

It is high time that Boston, the home of the coun-
try's oldest horticultural society, should have a pub-
lic Rose garden. Judging by Mr. Thommeu's descrip-
tion of the project that is planned for Franklin Park,
and by the accompanying illustration, now that such
a garden is to be a reality, those responsible for it
are apparently going to make up for lost time. If the
present plans materialize there should result a col-
lection well up to the standard of the Arnold Arbore-
tum in completeness and educational value, with the
added quality of a high degree of beauty in both its
design and its environmental setting, such as only a
well arranged mass planting of Roses can attain.
That the enterprise will be carried out worthily and
well can be safely assumed in the light of what has
been done with and to Boston's park system. All this
constitutes a good sign. The more cities there are
in which municipal authorities gave their attention
to the beautiful things in life and make them acces-
sible to the public, the better the outlook for the
country and its people.

Not every florist grows Boston ferns, but few and
far between are the florists that do not handle them.
Consequently there is a large and enterprising audi-
ence interested in such practical questions as, Which
is the best type? How can we make it better, What
can be done to increase sales? What should the pub-
lic know about the care of Bostons? Why and how
does the retailer's choice differ from the wholesaler's?
These are also the people who will find especially
valuable matter in Dr. Benedict's series of articles —
starting this week — dealing with and analyzing the
situation and its prospects.

Fritz Bahr's Commercial
Floriculture

THIS long expected volume is off the press and,
according to the publisher's experience no book
that has passed through their hands, has at-
tracted so large a number of orders prior to publica-
tion. Containing 560 pages and bound in elegant green
cloth with gilt lettering, it surely is a book that the
average florist will not leave around on the potting
bench. It is a book that will ornament the bookshelf,
but it is also one that may get well thumbed, espe-
cially if its owner gets to consulting it in business
hours. The volume is dedicated to A. T. De La Mare
as a token of appreciation on the part of the author.

Fritz Bahr, as a practical writer, needs no intro-
duction to the readers of The Florists Exchange;
for years his weekly notes on The Week's Work have
given many the reminders they needed.

The volume under notice is what it claims to be —
"a Practical Manual for the Retail Grower." It has
a wealth of illustrations, no less than 2SS, and it is
printed throughout on high-class paper.

The contents are divided into two parts, details of
these are found on the first few pages. Part 1 is made
up of seven chapters, devoted to "The Retail Grower
and His Methods," "Indoors and Outdoors All the
Tear 'Round," "The Retail Grower and His Equip-
ment," "Practical Operations in the Growing End of
the Business," "Side Line Possibilities for Retail Grow-
ers," "Important Days of the Year" and "All Kinds
of Plant Materials for the Retail Grower." Part 2
is a cultural manual for all the various plants a retail
grower has use for. The index of illustrations is
given at the end of the book.

It would be impossible to detail the many phases
of the retail growing industry dealt with so clearly
and fully by Fritz Bahr. Some 45 years in the busi-
ness give a man of his ability abundant opportu-
nity. Furthermore, his philosophical turn of mind
and unbounded optimism prevent him from writing
in the "dry-as-dust" style, which is apt to creep into
horticultural literature.

Mr. Bahr compares the days of long ago with today ;
he shows the advances made and to him the future
looks good. The man, possessing a grower's knowl-
edge or inclination, is given hints how to start in
business, how to conduct it and how to extend it.
Indeed, to many, this book will appeal as did the
Arabian Nights to us in our boyish days ; they won't
just glance at certain points to get certain informa-
tion as they do in a dictionary ; they will not want
to let go until they have read it right through from
cover to cover.

Advice is handed out with both hands in the crisp,
terse Fritz Bahr style; nothing is apparently over-
looked and it would be hard to find a point for criti-
cism; indeed, we can only find one slip in our rather
hurried survey, a picture of what is obviously Pent-
stemon barbatus or some such species being quoted as
a Heuchera.

While written in readable style the book is not
made up of long discussions on this, that or the
other ; considerable matter is compiled in calendar
form and here the man with a moderate amount of
knowledge can derive all the promptings he requires.
This calendar covers the entire year. Hints on green-
houses and other florist's buildings, crop rotation,
landscaping, forcing and the handling of general
crops indoors and out, all come under survey, nor
are the important features of special flower days
overlooked.

And when one has digested what seems to be a vast
amount of information we come upon the second part
which is really a cultural manual. This, in fact, is
larger than the first part, for it takes up over 300
pages. The plants that come under survey are ar-
ranged in alphabetical order, so that while indoor
plants are mixed up with outdoor subjects, the sys-
tem is orderly and easily followed without reference
to the index of plant names in the forepart of the
book.

It may be thought by some that Fritz Bahr's Com-
mercial Floriculture falls short because it gives so
little data on diseases and insects pests. Fritz Bahr
is essentially a believer in cleanliness above all things,
and he makes it a practice never to wait for diseases
and insects to lay hold of his plants before taking
action. The immense number of diseases and insects
probably prompted our author to refrain from mak-
ing much of them ; he rather aims at encouraging the
growth of vigorous plants and thereby avoid troubles.
Those who seek for extensive information on diseases
and insects are advised to consult other works of
reference.

Those who would specialize in Roses or any other
standard subject must not expect to find elaborate or

extensive details ; this is a book for the man or
woman who caters to a more or less local trade. It
is a book standing in a class by itself ; others similar
to it may follow, but they probably never will sur-
pass it, for there is only one Fritz Bahr. E. L. D.
Seymour, who edited and arranged this work, also
deserves a meed of praise. W.

National Flower Show, 1924

Chairman George Asmus, of the National Flower
Show Committee, has authorized the calling of a
meeting of this committee, to be held in the Hollen-
den Hotel. Cleveland, O., on Monday, Nov. 6, at 10 a.m.
The business of the meeting will be to discuss the
prospects for holding a National Flower Show in 1924.
Any city having the required facilities, and willing
to offer inducements for the holding of such an ex-
hibition, should communicate with the secretary at
once. This is an important matter, and should have
prompt attention, as invitations coming before this
meeting will have full consideration at an adjourned
meeting of the committee to be held in St. Louis on
Nov. 7.

Taking Advantage of Tariff
Provisions

Washington Correspondent Explains How to Apply
for Revised Rates

THE mode of procedure under which the so-called
flexible provisions of the new tariff law will be
administered have just been made public by the
United States Tariff Commission. These provisions
of law vest in the President the power to increase or
decrease tariff rates to protect American manufac-
turers whenever an investigation by the Tariff Com-
mission shows that such action is necessary to equal-
ize differences in cost of production here and abroad.

Any person, partnership, corporation or association
may make application for an investigation under
these provisions. No special form is necessary, but
each application must contain a short and simple
statement of the relief sought and the grounds there-
for. No investigation will be ordered by the com-
mission unless the application or a preliminary in-
vestigation shows to its satisfaction that there are
good and sufficient reasons. Unless otherwise or-
dered all hearings will be public.

In addition to making investigations upon appli-
cation the commission can also initiate investigations.

While these provisions are designed to protect
American manufacturers, the protection of export
interests also are assured by Section 317, which gives

the President power, when he believes that the public
interest will be served thereby, to impose additional
duties, or even prohibition upon the whole or a part
of the imports into the United States from any for-
eign country which denies to American foreign trade
treatment equal to that accorded to the trade of any
other foreign country. It further provides protection
against preferential export taxes by permitting the
President to penalize imports into the United States
of the products of any industry in a foreign country
which benefits by preferential export taxes granted
by a third country. Under this section, the United
States offers equality of treatment to all nations, but
at the same time insists that foreign nations grant
to our external commerce similar equality of treat-
ment, c. L. L.

Chicago is ever in the van in florist trade matters ;
just now it is deserving of an even greater amount
of attention than usual. First, among recent events
of unusual interest was the huge and eminently suc-
cessful meeting of the Florists Club at Niles Centre.
Second came the Uptown Chicago Exposition at which
local florists and several trade representatives from
other sections of the country contributed striking dis-
plays and secured well-merited publicity. And now
there is about to take place the meeting of the grow-
ers at Maywood which, according to all advance re-
ports, is going to reach a high water mark for gather-
ings of this sort. Apparently no stone has been left
unturned to insure a complete representation of flo-
rists, growers and others interested throughout the
Chicago district and its immediate environment. Our
thought in calling attention to the occasion is, there-
fore, to impress upon all in more distant sections the
desirability of their also taking part in the festivities
if they can possibly arrange to do so.

John H. Cook

John H. Cook, who had been in the nursery busi-
ness, nearly all his life, died at his home in Flushing,
L. I., N. Y., ou Oct. 11 from bronchitis. Mr. Cook
was a native of Cornwall, England. He was an au-
thority on perennials and 30 years ago worked for
the B. A. Elliott Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa.

In 1895 Mr. Cook took charge of the perennial de-
partment of the Shady Hill Nursery at Bedford. Mass.
After 12 years service he removed to Little Silver,
N. J., where he acted as foreman of hardy plants at
the J. T. Lovett Nurseries.

Mr. Cook was in his seventieth year and had been
in ill health for several years. He is survived by his
widow and eight children.

Minnie Dawson Blossom

Minnie Dawson Blossom, wife of Henry Hall Blos-
som, died suddenly while assisting in the work at the
church bazaar of the Nurses Association at Dedham,
Mass., on Oct. 19.

She was born in Jamaica Plains. Mass., 44 years
ago, and was the oldest daughter of the late Jackson
T. Dawson. Before she was married, she started the
Eastern Nurseries at Holliston, Mass., in company
with her brother, Charles J., now deceased. These well
known nurseries are now carried on by her brother,
Harry Dawson, who has an able assistant in his sis-
ter Laura, a former teacher of horticulture, and an
apt pupil of her renowned father.

The deceased leaves, besides her husband, four
brothers and one sister. G. Th.

John A. Foley

John A. Foley, 501 North Grove St., East Orange,
N. J., died in the St. James Hospital in Newark,
N. J., on Oct. 10 of gastric hemorrhage. Mr. Foley
was 38 years of age. Funeral services were ou
Oct. 13 at the Lady of All Souls Church, East Orange,
N. J., and the interment at St. Mary's Cemetery in
the same place. Mr. Foley entered the wholesale
flower business as an errand boy at the age of 14
years and continued in this line for IS years. Then
for several years he conducted an express business,
making a specialty of the handling of the wholesale
florists' deliveries. Still later he was in business for
himself at East Orange, N. J. For a short time, just
before he was taken to the hospital, he was in the
employment of Herman Weiss, the wholesale florist,
at 121 West 28th st. Mi-. Foley was a member of the
Vera Cruz Branch of the Knights of Columbus. He is
survived by a widow and five children.

Bulb and Plant Growing in Florida

(Concluded from page 1125)

m the ground they take root and form new plants.
)ur soif and climate are evidently just right for them,
md they are as easy to propagate as Honeysuckle.

Gladiolus can be had in bloom every month in the
rear from Florida grown bulbs, and the blossoms are
iO per cent better than those produced from Northern
frown bulbs. The same is true of Sweet Pea seed. I
lave grown Freesia Purity bulbs, l%in. in diameter.
iVe can dig our Winter growing bulbs in April, and
;hen plant the land in Cannas, fancy Caladiums,
ijnaryllis, etc., thus keeping the land at work all the
rear around. Cannas and Amaryllis grow wild here,
md reach a degree of perfection unknown in any
>ther part of the United States. It may be men-
ioned that the first orchid-flowered Cannas, Austria
md Italia, were produced by crossing the European
lybrid Canna with the wild Florida Canna.

Our land in this part of the State is Norfolk sandy
oam, with clay about 2ft. from the surface. It is
rery level, free from stones, easy to work, and is al-
yays moist.

Good land can be bought here, cleared and ready
;o plant, near railroad station, for $50 per acre.
Common labor is $1.25 per day, without board.

Some people have tried to compare Florida with
California; this is wrong. Florida is like Holland,
low, level and wet, only the climate is warmer, so
:hat things we grow during Winter and Spring, they
jrow in Spring and Summer. Florida, like Holland,
will soon be a land of bulbs, flowers and ornamental
stock. T. K. Godbet.

[Our correspondent is enthusiastic, excusably so,
perhaps, for he has lived 40 years in Florida. It
would, however, be unsafe to assume that all and
every kind of bulb and plant will thrive in any one
climate. We don't know, but we rather suspect that
some of our hardy 'bulbs demand more coolness and
light than Florida provides and perhaps less wet.
Only by experimenting over a series of years can the
commercial possibilities of bulb growing be fully
tested.

We might mention that at the S. A. F. convention
at Asheville, N. C, 1902, Prof. W. F. Massey, of
Raleigh, N. O, read a paper on "Possibilities of Bulb
Culture in North Carolina," and W. N. Smith, of
Washington, D. C, also described the bulb situation
in the State of Washington and elsewhere ; both these
speakers were expressing views similar to those aired
now, but how far have we advanced?

True, Gladioli and a few other tuberous rooted
subjects have become commercial propositions, but so
far as the general run of bulbs are concerned, we are
no nearer supplying our own domestic needs — least of
all exporting — than we were 20 years ago, nor can
we see any evidence that Qu. 37 has started any real
advancement, so far, at least, as forcing stock in
commercial quantities is concerned.

Must we accept the slow progress as an admission
that bulb growing will never be a real commercial
proposition, or is it merely an illustration that slow
growing crops are not attractive to our people. Where
any real effort at commercial bulb culture has been
made, it would seem that the operations are largely
due to the efforts of people from overseas.

Regarding the samples of bulbs sent by our corre-
spondent, we see little or no difference between them
and imported stock. The Chinese Narcissus, one year,
are excellent, as are the Paperwhites two year bulbs.
The Harrisii Lily bulbs were obviously not culti-
vated for lifting, being small, but they are sound and
healthy. Leucojum vernum (Snowflake) are giant
bulbs, and we imagine millions of such could be sold
in to gardeners, as it closely resembles the Snow-
drop; Muscari (Grape Hyacinth) are unusually
large, though somewhat rough. The Calla sample
three year is fine, but the Spanish Iris are modest
compared with the average Holland stock. This bulb,
we may say, can be equally as well grown within the
radius of New York; a few days ago we saw sam-
ples grown in New Jersey, but as the grower has
proved, these bulbs absolutely will not force. A Long
Island grower tells us, too, that he has found Georgia
grown Paperwhites give poor results when forced.

What is the explanation? Is it climate or im-
proper treatment? It will not materially help the
commercial florist if home grown ^refuse to force, al-
though Mr. Godbey declares his bulbs force better
than any from elsewhere.

The situation is complex; twenty years of talking
have not helped us much. The proposition seems to
be one that not even the Government experiments
have materially assisted. — W.]

Timely Hints on Rose Culture

By EBER HOLMES

No Escape. — The motor car shot down the hill at the speed
of an express train and then overturned, pinning the driver
beneath it. The village policeman approached. "It's no use
hiding under there," he said, sternly, to the half-smothered
driver; "you were exceeding the speed limit, and I demand your
name and address!" — Canadian Countryman.

ROSE growers in certain sections of the country
have" had little to complain of in the past few
months, so far as sales are concerned.
The continued wet weather spoiled large quantities
of outdoor flowers, and the early frosts finished the
rest, so that the market for good Roses has been brisk
most of the time. At present, there is every indication
of good business for the coming Winter ; I shall be
very much surprised if this season is not as good as
any that the Rose grower has ever had.

The hot weather that we had a few weeks ago
rushed along the Roses that happened to be in crop
at that time and they were off quickly. It also started
them along with another growth, so that they will
come back quickly. It used to be said that at Thanks-
giving, the price was set for the Winter. While there
are exceptions to every rule, this is true in a great
measure. After the 'Mums are gone, and before the
bulbous stock comes in in quantity, the greatest scar-
city of flowers exists in the market; this combined
with the holiday demand, makes for quick sales at
good prices. Thanksgiving comes this year as late as
it can possibly occur, Nov. 30. This means that there
are only three weeks between that holiday and Christ-
mas.

We cannot strike both holidays with the same lot
of plants, but we can divide the plants if we wish and
have Roses at all times. The pinching for long stems
has been overdone at times, but pinching to divide up
the crops is something that every grower should
study. There is nothing that will build up a bench of
weak or backward plants like one or two pinches,
and if by chance you have a corner where the mildew
has been so troublesome that you have not yet got
rid of it, you will find that if you pinch back the
growth and take off the mildewed foliage, at the same
time dusting over the plants with sulphur or Grape
Dust, combined with a little sulphur on the heating
pipes, you will get a new, clean start.

Planning a Successional Crop

The time to work out a plan for succession of crops
is at the beginning of the season when starting up
the plants. However, it is often possible to work in
an extra lot by taking a bed or a house that is nol
needed, or that may be rather weak and pinching it
back. You can figure on at least seven weeks at this
time of the year from pinching to cutting the next
crop ; a good deal depends on the weather, the condi-
tion of your houses, temperature carried and on your
facilities for holding cut stock. A little later ou.
you can allow eight weeks.

As we get down to steady firing the plants will
need more careful syringing to keep down red spider ;
be careful to get underneath the foliage and see that
the hose is long enough to reach around the corners.
We find that whale oil soap used in the soap ball at-
tached to the faucet is of great service in keeping
down both spider and mildew and the same is true
of sulphur painted on the heating pipes.

Feeding

A tank for holding manure water used to be con-
sidered essential in Rose growing; there is no doubt
that it is a good thing to have, and to use, but there
are lots of places where they have no tank yet they
produce very fine flowers in quantity. On such places
it is customary to feed by topdressing liberally at
more or less frequent intervals according to conditions
prevailing in each place. Some growers put on a
heavy top dressing of manure in the Fall and their
plants get nothing more for the rest of the Winter.
Other supplement the Fall topdressing by light ap-
plications of fertilizer all through the Winter. These
latter, as a rule, get the best results. Little and often
is the ideal way to feed the plants.

A good sprinkling of bonemeal lightly rubbed into
the soil now, followed by a good dressing of cow
manure, will carry the plants along until March as far
as a heavy coating is concerned. It is better to get
this on as soon as possible. If you wait much longer
you are getting into the cold, dark weather when it
is not so easy to keep doors open during the operation
and the houses are not so easy to ventilate then as

they are at present. If applied now, the plants get
the benefit of it and make a good start before the days
get short and dark. The start that they get now will
carry them along if they get the right treatment
through the Winter. If the manure is fresh and
rich in ammonia, be careful to water it in well as
soon as put on and leave air on the house for a few
nights, or cover with dry loam. The more care and
plant food, properly applied, you give the plants, the
more you will get out of them.

Wood suitable for cuttings is plentiful now, and if
you have an empty propagating bench, you can make
use of it by rooting a good batch of cuttings. Select
nothing but the very best wood you can get for this
purpose; this will make large early plants for plant-
ing yourself or for Spring sales. Marry growers are
still using some own root stock with good results.
Generally speaking, I prefer grafted stock as the cash
returns are greater from these plants.

Horticulturists Wanted

The United States Civil Service Commission an-
nounces a series of competitive examinations for the
purpose of filling vacancies in the Department of
Agriculture as follows : Junior horticulturist, junior
plant introducer, junior plant pathologist, junior
pomologist, junior seed botanist. These positions
carry salaries ranging from $1320 to $1860 a year de-
pending upon the qualifications of the appointee.

The receipt of applications will close Nov. 21, 1922.
Application forms and full information as to require-
ments, age limits, scope of examinations, etc., may
be secured from the Commission at Washington, or
from any of its local secretaries throughout the coun-
try.

St. Louis Fall Show and Chrysanthemum
Exhibition

The final premium list of the Chrysanthemum So-
ciety of America's show, to be held at St. Louis, Mo.,
Nov. 7 to 12 in conjunction with a Fall exhibition,
planned by the St. Louis Flower Show Association is
to hand.

The exhibition will be held at the Coliseum and
will include a great fruit show organized by the Mis-
souri State Horticultural Society. The entries in this
fruit show are open to the world except in a few
instances.

The commercial premium list for flowers and plants
is extensive and provides for both plants and cut
blooms of Chrysanthemums and a large number of
classes for cut Roses and Carnations as well as nu-
merous miscellaneous classes for plants, etc.

Special prizes are offered in some 24 classes open
to members of the C. S. A. only. Among these are
the C. S. A. cup for six vases of Pompons, a $25 cup
for 12 blooms on long stems, from Earl H. Mann; a
gold medal for 4S blooms in four varieties of com-
mercial varieties from the Naperville Nurseries ; $50
in two prizes for 36 blooms in six varieties from
Chas. Totty Co. and varying cash prizes donated by
the E. G. Hill Co., Vaughan's Seed Store, American
Bulb Co., Michell's Seed House, Henry A. Dreei%
Elmer D. Smith & Co., Baur & Steinkamp, Foley
Manufacturing Co., A. N. Pierson, Inc., Windier
Wholesale Floral Co., and H. G. Berning. Other do-
nors of cash are the Missouri Botanical Gardens,
St. Louis N. F. G. A., J. F. Ammann, Lord & Burnham
Co., S. S. Pennock Co., Stuppy Floral Co., Robt. Craig
Co., Schloss Bros., Lion & Co., H. H. Levine & Co.,
D. H. Fretts & Co., A. H. Henderson & Co. and Colum-
bia Box Co.

The open schedule embraces many important
classes, including 50 blooms of one variety ; 25 blooms
one variety, in six color classes and numerous color
classes for 12 blooms. Special classes for retailers
give ample opportunity for decorative exhibits. Ama-
teurs and school children are also provided for.

With well over 200 classes on the schedules, the
prospects for the greatest Fall show ever held in the
Southern area seem assured.

Schedules may be obtained from the executive sec-
retary, J. J. Beneke, 1316 Pine St., St. Louis, Mo.

This story concerns a man who believed that he and
his wife were drifting apart. Asking a friend for advice, he
in turn was asked whether he still continued to make pretty
speeches, as he did when he was courting and, moreover, was
he still buying candy and flowers as he had done in the past.
Friend husband shamefacedly admitted that he had done none
of these things for years, and he decided to turn over a new
leaf. On the way downtown next morning he ordered candy
and flowers to be sent to his wife. On the way home in the
evening, he went into a jewelry store and purchased a hand-
some piece of jewelry. When he arrived home, the candy and
flowers were there. He then presented his wife with the piece
of jewelry expecting, of course, some pleasant change in her
manner. The wife looked at him steadily, and said: "Trouble
certainly seems to come to me in bunches; the baby was
taken sick this morning, my rheumatism returned this after-
noon, and now you come home drunk."

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

Bugs Again

Nurserymen generally dislike the con-
stant references to bugs and diseases.
Some even get sore at the F. E. when it

Publishes an extract from some official
ulletin. Actually, however, it is all to
the good when a gardening or trade paper
refers to the bug problem. No good pur-
pose is served by deliberately ignoring
pests. What is of far greater importance,
is dissemination of bulletins, etc., to the
lay press or among writers who delight to
conjure up scare articles. Sanely writ-
ten notes in a horticultural paper are of
greatest value; it is when a paper like
the Country Gentleman handles the sub-
ject in scare fashion that injury to the
trade is likely to result.

Quite recently, Walter Collins CKane —
why do Walters always write their name
in full; are they afraid plain W. would
be taken for William? — was given over
a page in the C. O. to discourse on "The
Bugs that Bite Us." The Japanese
beetle, satin moth, Corn borer, etc. come
under review; even the Cabbage worm
is referred to. But while these so-called
foreign invaders are held up to execra-
tion, and ceaseless viligance urged to keep
out other foreign pests, nothing is said of
the multitude of native pests. Huh! it
makes me tired.

Not long since, we were warned of the
fearsomeness of the European earwig.
Why! the grasshopper family and the va-
rious evil smelling bugs native to this
country make the earwig of no conse-
quence.

Bulbs

An English writer remarks on the
fact that Holland "drummers" with sur-
plus bulbs to offer are conspicuous by
their absence this Fall. He states that
the Holland as well as the English bulb
growers have no surplus, and that prices
nave advanced 40 per cent. Some Hol-
land growers it is said have either been
unwilling or unable to fill their orders.

Maybe it's true, but the fact remains
that a goodly quantity of bulbs appear
to be in the hands of dealers both in Eng-
land and America, and some of them
would doubtless like to see them gone.
If there was such a big shortage as was
stated, it was perhaps due to the supply-
ing so many of the Toms, Dicks and
Harrys, whom the Seattle correspondent
speaks of. I can fully believe the English
growers have been cleaned out; the Hol-
landers usually see to that.

Tulip Planting

I have before referred to the folly of
planting Tulips outdoors early, but I may
mention that a writer in the N. & S. re-
ports that the Lincolnshire, England,
Tulip growers prefer to plant in Novem-
ber, although when ten or more acres
have to be planted it is a risky proposi-
tion because the weather is not always
congenial. The florist who plants a few
hundreds or thousands should never be
in a hurry to plant, especially in the
eastern section, where the ground is not
always frozen or covered with snow in
Winter. Tulips, early or late sorts, that
get above ground early in the year are
pretty sure to get "fire" if not other dis-
eases.

While on this topic, I may mention that
some years ago, when on a layout job,
I bought a few thousand Darwin and
Cottage Tulips from a merchant in early
January, cleaned him out in fact. The
weather was open and I planted. Those
bulbs grew and flowered just as finely as
others I planted in mid-November.

Forcing Clara Butt

Some catalogs and some writers are apt
to suggest that Darwin Tulips are as
easily forced as the naturally early sorts.
They are not difficult, but they need han-
dling differently. They require no fierce
heat and darkness to encourage stem, the
chief difficulty is to keep them down to
a moderate length. Darwins in the open
will range from 18in. to 30in., but be
stiff with it. Under glass they'll run up
a yard and lack the starch" to hold up
if not properly handled. Wm. Copeland
is one of the few that will take strong
heat; in fact, it is only by hard forcing
that it becomes lavender. As a matter of
fact, it is only by experimenting1 that
one can handle all Darwins successfully.

Many growers, because Clara Butt is
the finest of all pink Darwins in the

open, make an effort to force it, but it's
safe to say many find it disappointing.
Lots of English forcers have lost money
on Clara Butt — I dare say there are
more Clara Butt Tulips grown in England
than anywhere, not excluding Holland —
because when handled like others, it just
rushes up to the roof, and oftentimes the
buds turn blind.

The Lincoln writer of the N. & S. re-
cords that experiments have proved that
with this variety one needs to defer box-
ing of the bulbs until January or later.
Planted in April, the bulbs can be forced
almost at once, and the stems will be but
12in. Only the heaviest bulbs should be
planted, the best sample runs 40 lbs.
to the 1000, but this weight is difficult
to hold as the bulbs lose one lb. per 1000
every week after they are dug. Planted
late, 75 per cent of Clara Butt will flower
on stems not of inordinate length.

Actually Clara Butt is a variety to
wind up the forcing season with before
the outdoor blooms come in. I have been
in a ten acre field of Clara Butt, part of
which were hastened by frame sashes and
other delayed by shading. This field pro-
duced bloom over several weeks.

Big Phloxes

There are a few raisers who are con-
stantly working on perennial Phlox, and
it is good to note that a first class col-
lection would have to include varieties
raised in United States, England, Ger-
many and Fiance. I once knew an ama-
teur who. spent years on Phlox and he
evolved several beautiful salmon seedlings,
which were distributed by Wells & Co.
and H. J. Jones of 'Mum fame. The lat-
ter has raised many, and during the past
few seasons he has more or less put it
over everyone in the way of exhibiting.
He is the only grower I know who has
ever put up gold medal displays of
Phloxes, either cut or in pots. This year
he has been in great form, showing from
May until September. I note, however,
that Fairbairn & Sons of Carlisle have
a penchant for Phloxes, some of their
seedlings having individual pips which
exceed a crown piece. The latter is about
the size of a silver dollar.

Potatoes Again

My old friend, Geo. W. Kerr of Doyles-
town, Pa., writes: "I note with interest
your remarks on Potatoes. Surely you
have another variety in mind when you
say that the old Schoolmaster is a round
purple. It is a ball shaped white and
many hundreds of tubers I have, as a
kid, washed and prepared for exhibition
when my father used to attend the big
Potato shows in London. * * * Are you
confusing the variety with Blacksmith,
which had a skin, or I might call it a
hide, much resembling a piece of old
dark brown leather marked somewhat in
the way of crocodile skin?' '

That's the worst of having a rotten
memory; the purple I had in mind I knew
was mixed up with some educational in-
dividual, but for the life of me I could
not work the laws of association theory
to make my blue spud fit in with parsons.
However, it has come to me now, for
the variety was Vicar of Laleham, in-
troduced by the Vicar of Laleham near
Staines, in 1881. The Rev. I. D. Peake
was a great "bug" on Potatoes and the
variety mentioned was one of his best.
Heh ho, what great times we used to
have with Potatoes. Geo. Kerr's father
was a famous Potato raiser and likely as
not George will, one of the days, be set-
ting up a collection of spuds just to show
people how pretty and interesting they
are. With lots of soap and careful
handling, Potatoes can be made as at-
tractive as fruit.

The Sun Outdone

We have long held the belief that the
sun is the brightest and greatest thing
in the universe, but the Harvard Univer-
sity has an observatory in Peru from
whence it is reported that a host of new
stars have been observed. This group
called the Magellanic Cloud resembles
that which we call the Milky Way and
its dimensions are staggering. Its dis-
tance is 110,000 light years from the
earth. A light year is six trillion miles,
the distance traveled by light in one
year. Light travels 186,000 miles a sec-
ond. Tests so far, indicate that the new
cloud contains numerous stars many
times brighter than the sun.

Now, if only this Magellanic Cloud could
be attracted nearer the earth, maybe all
our worries about coal would be ended,
for as it is situated in the other direction
it might warm us up while Old Sol was

attending to Australia and other places
the other side of the equator.

Culling

The chicken farmer, if he knows his
business, has no compunction about
"potting" the hens which take a holiday
in the Fall. When it comes to culling
plants, some people, including those who
grow commercially, are more or less un-
able to screw up their courage. I refer,
of course, to varieties that are passe\ Ef-
forts are being made to induce Iris grow-
ers to drop many scores of varieties that
are now surpassed. With Dahlias, too,
it is felt there are many which could be
dispensed with.

Touching on this subject, a friend well
known in the trade and who is a Dahlia
fan without seeking to be a raiser,
writes :

"This - certainly has been a splendid
Fall for Dahlias and other late flowering
subjects. Our trial beds of Dahlias have
never been so fine as this season; too
fine really, as I have found myself spend-
ing entirely too much time among them.
What we want is some one with lots of
courage to cull out the undesirable sorts.
Personally, I feel that we should not
handle more than 100 varieties of Dah-
lias but it is hard to know where to start
and stop in discarding. The varieties
that do not show up well at our own
nurseries, when I visit neighboring
growers are in fine shape. Who is to do
the cutting?

"I remember some fifteen years ago
calling on Goos & Koenemann, Ronsdorf-
on-the-Rhine. Mr. Koenemann was par-
ticularly interested in hardy ferns. On
the day when I called, he told me that he
had just performed an extensive job to
which he had given his own attention. If
I remember rightly he had over 200
species and varieties of ferns and he de-
cided to go over them carefully and cut
out all the undesirable ones. When I
asked him how many he had succeeded in
cutting out he told me he had actually
found three varieties that he could
spare."

And that's how it goes when you start
going over old time favorites. So long as
one has the room to plant them, one is
like a miser. The only way is to fill up
with something else and thus compel cur-
tailment of has beens. The next time we
have a war, I'd suggest all the Iris,
Dahlia and other cranks join the army.
Their stocks will then go to perdition, and
when they come back, they can start
afresh with the things they know are
right. Moreover, they'll have developed
such a bloodthirsty character that they
will never hesitate to scrap a subject as
soon as they see something better.

That California Letter

The letter of the California Associa-
tion of Nurserymen to the Secretary of
Agriculture, presumably in May, is in-
teresting, apart from recommendation six.
It does seem like a total volt-face when
we are openly told that the things enum-
erated cannot as yet be propagated in
sufficient quantities to meet the require-
ments of California growers. [The italics
are my own.] California was permitted
to import hundreds of thousands of Span-
ish and Dutch Iris, Tingitana, etc., etc.,
two years or so ago and it was said these
were multiplying so fast, that in four or
five years, the entire U S. would not be
able "to absorb them. Yet here we have
a list of the desires of the Cal. Ass'n. of
Nurserymen, which includes all the bulbs
formerly imported and even the Spiraeas,
Rhododendrons and Azaleas.

Coming on top of Henry Kruckeberg's
recent article in the Western Florist this
appeal is a "corker." Not only did Mr.
Kruekeberg, late secretary of the Cali-
fornia Nurserymen's Association, show that
California nurserymen were all for absolute
quarantine, but he expressed himself in
no unmeasured terms regarding ama-
teurs who "imported stock from God
knows where." Yet here we have the as-
sociation recommending that amateurs in-
terested in new plants be granted per-
mits under the same condition as com-
mercial growers. It will be interesting
to learn why this letter was suppressed
at the time of the big Washington con-
ference.

The Chrysantheflora

J. M. has made reference to this being
sold in Chicago by a department store.
Whatever the good points of this giant
Celosia, it certainly should not require

"flap-doodle puffs" to make it go. The
ad in the Chicago papers certainly was not
wholly keeping to the paths of rectitude.
I doubt whether S. Bryson Ayres himself
would lay any claim to being a noted
hybridist. Celosia cristata is almost as
old as the hills and by pot culture and
selection in Europe it was developed to
produce a regular comb. The seed pro-
ducers rigidly discarded all that did not
measure up to type.

It may naturally be assumed that
planted in the luxurious climate and soil
of Missouri, it would show its desires to
break away; we are told that observing
this, Mr. Ayres developed the type he
called chrysantheflora. No wizardry of
hybridism would be necessary in such a
case. Aside from this, however, people
were urged to plant seed now, like per-
ennials. I never saw a perennial Celosia;
I am under the impression they are all
tender annuals, and to sow seed in Octo-
ber would result in disappointment and
thereby injure, rather than aid, the popu-
larity of the new Celosia. I am wonder-
ing, too, how this store could offer the
flower heads at 23c, while florists are of-
fered them wholesale at more than double
this figure.

Potato Wart

According to Sir D. Hall's speech at the
Government Potato trials at Ormskirk,
England, recently, wart disease is steadily
spreading all over the British Isles; not
only that, but throughout the world, and
that ere long it would not be possible to
grow any but immune varieties. It has
already announced that the Potato wart
had slightly extended in Pennsylvania de-
spite efforts to prevent it and while it
is possible that the authorities may have
greater success in keeping it under con-
trol than in England, where it was inno-
cently spread by way of seed Potatoes
before quarantines were effected, the
chances are that the disease will extend
itself. Even birds may, through alighting
on diseased soil, carry the spores to new
areas. Owing to the unusually wet sea-
son in England, wart was more destruc-
tive and virulent than ever before; it
appeared in the test plots at Ormskirk as
early as July. In 1921, an abnormally
dry season, the disease was almost quies-
cent. At the trials, 1758 seedlings and a
total of nearly 2000 stocks were tested
this year. There were 17 undergoing their
third year test for immunity, 92 in the
second year and 134 in their first year,
the remainder being seedlings. These
trials serve to show how seriously the
British Government is studying the ques-
tion of immunity. There are already a
considerable number of immune varieties
in commerce; Dobbies, the leading Scotch
house, offer only immune kinds. The U.
S. authorities have similar trials under
way including the English immune sorts
available. Most of the American varie-
ties are not immune.

Newport, R. I.

Newport Horticultural Society

A regular meeting of this society
was held on the 24th instant. Chairman
William Gray of the Ball Committee re-
ported all bills paid and a very satisfac-
tory balance on hand to go toward the
Winter course of lectures.

County Agent James E. Knott was
present and gave some interesting facts
regarding plant pests, including hints for
their control. The European Corn borer,
a stranger here so far, was described.
Clean culture and the prompt burning of
all plants in which they are found was
advised.

Several remedies were named to control
the Onion maggot, among them being
bichloride of mercury and nitrate of soda
in water, sprinkled over the plants in
young stages of growth.

Odd Notes

Never in one season have so many
of the large Summer estates changed
hands. Among the latest is that of J. P.
Kernochan estate on Ochre Point to Mr.
and Mrs. Edson Bradley of Washington.
This is one of the finest places in New-
port.

Chrysanthemums are coming on in fine
shape, and sell out soon as ready. Car-
nations are now in good form.

An interesting bulletin from the Ex-
tension Dept., Kingston College, on the
Planting and Care of Lawns by Prof.
Dawson is just out. A. MeL.

Fritz Bahr's
Commercial
Floriculture

A Practical Manual for the Retail Grower

The author needs no introduction here. His "Week's
Work," which has been appearing every Saturday in the
columns of The Florists Exchange, that well known
National Trade Paper, has long placed him in the front
ranks of practical men who write in a practical way. More than
one fellow florist has. called him a genius — which he
certainly is, if for no other reason than that he is a philos-
opher who can make his philosophy clear and practical for
others; whose philosophy is based not on what he things,
merely, but on what he \novos as a result of nearly half a century's successful experience.

Readers of THE EXCHANGE familiar with Mr. Bahr's thorough grasp of the everyday problems and
possibilities ahead of the Grower, combined with his extensive cultural knowledge, and his mastery of expressing
practice in words so readily understood, will quickly conjure up the wealth of informative material presented.
The book is divided into two parts:

FRITZ BAHR

Highland Park, III.

Parti

is devoted to a general review of the
florist business, its opportunities and its

responsibilities. Extensive chapters are devoted to

subjects such as the following:

The Retail Grower and His Business — Indoors
and Outdoors all the Year Around — The Retail
Grower and His Equipment — Practical Opera-
tions in the Growing End of the Business — -
Side Line Possibilities for the Retail Grower — ■
Important Flower Days of the Year — All Kinds
of Plant Materials for the Retail Grower.

Part II

embraces some 300 pages of informa-
tion which is truly cyclopedic.
Here all the types of plant, shrub, tree and vine that
the reader is likely to handle, whether he grows them
all or not, are brought to the reader's attention. Wheth-
er it is best to try to grow them; and if so, how; what
they are best suited for; how to make the most of
them; which vareities to use and which to avoid — these
and all other things that every man ought to know,
but that comparatively so few of us do know, are dis-
cussed by Fritz Bahr in his inimitable, unmistakable,
convincing, encouraging style.

The size of the book is 6J4x°34 ^ ** 1S printed in clear, readable type, and more than passing notice should be
given to the illustrations, of which there are nearly 300, the majority of them made from photographs specially selected,
and many of them specially taken for this book. They picture every phase of all sides of the business and the great
majority of its materials in the way they ought to be grown. This remarkable feature includes a helpful, illuminating
typical Fritz Bahr caption for every illustration. The binding „ ._„_ . . . , ,, A

of the book is exceptionally strong and durable. The cover CCA PAGES> ^rmted on handsome $ C ftft

is of waterproof material and this advantage is obvious.

Kalamazoo, Mich.

At any rate the weather has at least re-
turned to normalcy, and as a result busi-
ness can be said to have taken an upturn,
a condition most encouraging after a long
spell of dullness. Killing frosts have
destroyed all the outside stock and, of
course, as usually happens, there is not
a sufficient amount of indoor stock to
carry on with as we should like to see.
However, this will soon be remedied, as
'Mums of all kinds will soon be in full
crop and promise abundant cuts. Even
now some fine pinks and yellows are seen,
which are quoted at $4 to $5 per doz.
retail, a reasonable price for such stock.

Carnations have been somewhat affected
by the recent extreme heat, and are not
so good as usual at this time. These sell
for $1.25, while Roses can be bought at
anything from $2 to $5 per doz., although
at the last price not many sales are made.
Notwithstanding the high bulb prices,
there seems to be a lot planted by those
growers who retail, and 1 guess there will
be enough of bulbous stock and Callas to
meet the demand later on.

An abundance of Winter Cherries and
Peppers are seen, and soon Cyclamen will
be here, with Primula of various sorts,
all moderate priced plants, but somewhat
tiring as a steady diet, so much so that
it looks like we need a dozen or so differ-
ent varieties of new or old plants dug
up to make a variation in the pot plant
line.

The governor has declared a fuel emer-
gency exists, and is expected to appoint
a commission to take charge of the situa-
tion. The local florists will not take much
interest at present, as all have on hand
pretty good stocks of coal, most of it
bought around the $10 mark. S. B.

St. Louis, Mo.

The Market

The past wreek has been a very
busy one. The market has been lively and
the wholesalers have been kept busy with
shipping and local orders. Although the
weather has warmed up and we are enjoy-
ing an Indian Summer, trade in general
has kept up. 'Mums have become more
plentiful, but have cleaned up at $1.50
to $6 per doz. Roses also have become
more plentiful. Some splendid stock in
all grades has come in. Carnations are
improving daily, dark colors being more
plentiful. Light colors are quoted at 4c.
Pompon 'Mums are arriving freely. Fancy
varieties are expected in this week.

Ferns are quoted at $3 a 1000. As-
paragus is in demand and priced accord-
ing to quality. Cosmos and Dahlias are
still with us, the recent frost only touch-
ing a few. Some good Valley and or-
chids are displayed on the counters at
the wholesalers.

News Notes

Young, the Florist, was recently
kept busy at the west end branch, the oc-
casion being the opening of a new cafe.
Decorations were beautiful. Young's new
store is a very pretty place.

Julius Schaeffer's flower shop at the
new Chase Hotel is receiving its share
of business. Many flowers have been used
for the different social gatherings at this
new hotel.

The Hotel Melbourne has a very pretty
and tastefully decorated flower shop.

The Art Floral Co. has a pretty window
display at this time.

George Waldbart Flower Co. has been
kept busy. They expect to be in their
new store shortly.

Windier Wholesale Floral Co. expect
to be in their new store the first week in
November. Extensive alterations are be-
ing made. When completed it will be
quite an addition to the wholesale dis-
trict. Frank and his staff are live wires.

Saturday, H. G. Berning's storeroom
was a Mecca for retailers. It seemed as
if all the florists in the city were fight-
ing for stock. H. G. Berning, busy open-
ing and sorting flowers, when questioned
as to prices, politely informed the in-
quirers that he was only working there
and referred them to George Kuehner and
his staff. George wore his ear muffs as
prices advanced.

The Flower Show premium list is out.
All committees are bard at work and all
the boys are ready for the visitors.

Julius Dillhoff is with us this week.

137 Seventh Street, PITTSBURGH, PA.

Cincinnata, 0.

Lawrence Matuska Kresken, a florist
who would have inherited an estate of
$125,000 had he lived a few years more,
was killed last week when his automobile
collided with a telegraph pole on Syca-
more Hill, this city. Kresken was not ac-
tively in the florist trade, having retired
two years ago when he closed his shop
at 3338 Gano ave. But he was associated
with P. J. Olinger, wholesale dealer of
Third St., and was returning from the
Olinger store when he met his death.
Mr. Kresken was 43 years old and ob-
tained his money through inheritance from
his adopted sister, Adelaide M. Kresken,
daughter of Henry J. Kresken, one of the
best known florists of Cincinnati. His
real name was Lawrence Matuska, but he
took the name of Kresken after working
with the aged florist and his daughter
for a number of years. He had been
adopted into the family, but never legal-
ly, as was developed on the death of
Miss Kresken, who left him an estate of
$20,000. When the legal bar to his in-
heritance was developed, the senior Kres-
ken broke the will of his daughter and
inherited her fortune amounting to $125,-
000. He then announced his intention of
making Lawrence Kresken his heir to the
estate. Kresken's accident happened last
Tuesday and he died the following day
and was buried last Saturday. Many flo-
rists attended the funeral and handsome
floral tributes were presented.

Julius Baer and H. W. Sheppard re-
turned from the F. T. D. convention last
week. They were enthused with the suc-
cess of the meeting and Mr. Sheppard
at once called a meeting of the committee
in preparation for the Rose and Carnation
Societies convention here next January.
The meeting will be held at the Sheppard
store in Race st.

Members of the Cincinnati District
American Flower Growers Association will
leave Thursday for an automobile drive
to Richmond, Ind., where they will be
the guests of Joseph Hill. This meeting
was to have been held on Nov. 8, but the
date was changed to meet the convenience
of the growers here.

No decision was reached by the whole-
salers and retail florists at the confer-
ence last Wednesday held at W. Ray
Murphy's store on the subject of organ-
izing the store men for the advertising
fund of the growers. A proposition was
made to have the store men contribute 1
per cent of the sales made on consign-
ments of flowers. It is said the commis-
sion men balked at this, as they said there
would be endless confusion if the plan
was carried out. Several growers refused
to enter the agreement and there was
talk of abandoning it in favor of a sub-
scription plan from dealers and growers
alike. The following committee was desig-
nated to bring about an agreement be-
tween the three classes to be considered:
From the growers, Charles Murphy, John
Bruckner and Joseph Imholte; from the
retailers, C. J. Jones, Julius Baer and Ir-
win F. Gephardt and from the commis-
sion men, E. W. Bossmeyer, Alex Osten-
dorp and W. Ray Murphy.

Ohio State University Chrysanthe-
mum Show

The annual Ohio State University
Chrysanthemum Show will be held Nov.
9, 10, 11 and 12 under the auspices of
the L'niversity Horticultural Society. A
novelty display! of Chrysanthemums, ex-
hibited for the first time by the breed-
ers, will be of special interest. Demon-
strations in plant diseases and insect con-
trol will be given. A display by the De-
partment of Landscape Architecture will
also be a feature.

To the florist, it is a highly desirable
thing to hold such a show, for its value
is threefold; it is a joy to the eye of the
visitors, of which there were about 20,-
000 last year; it is an instructive study
for the students who are training to en-
ter the ranks of those who now grow these
flowers; and it serves as an advertise-
ment for the florist who contributes, be-
cause once having seen these good flow-
ers, everyone appreciates their quality
and in the future will demand nothing
but the best.

RETAIL DEPARTMENT

How a Progressive Retail Florist is Putting
Coffeyville, Kansas, on the Map

IT can be done anywhere."
The fine things which florists in the large cities
are accomplishing can be accomplished anywhere
in the United States, in distant parts, in small towns.
Take Coffeyville, Kan., for instance. Who outside of
the immediate district, the so-called "Heart of Amer-
ica," has ever heard of Coffeyville? Though one of
the thrifty, good towns of Kansas, it seems obscured
among the thousands of small towns of the nation.
It is one of the minor settlements, where florists, as
well as shoe retailers and laundry owners, are accus-
tomed to say : "The big city fellows can do those
things; we can't." But in Coffeyville, a floral firm
is demonstrating that "those things" can be done.

The florist, grower or retailer in the big city be-
comes nationally famous because of his enterprise
and originality. Perhaps he has demonstrated that
his public wants novelties in flowers, or particularly
fine quality, justifying a more extensive growing
program thau the ordinary florist adopts. One might
say that he can enter the larger program, because
of his wide market. But even in Coffey-
ville, in the "sparsely settled" West, there
is a market wide enough to justify atten-
tion to best flowers and to novelties.

Reports reach the "interior" of the de-
mand in cities for high-class pottery, and
for the newer, as well as the old standard,
glassware. And the "interior" is inclined
to think of the congested wealth in popu-
lation centers, as the reason for the profit-
able handling of the art objects. But when
Coffeyville stocks the high-class pottery
and glassware, the people of Coffeyville,
and the community around, buy it in Cof-
feyville.

It is no longer true — Coffeyville demon-
strates it — that the small town people con-
sider the city merchant or the city florist
the only reliable source for better grade
commodities. The small town people have
"been around some;" they have judgment
in choosing. And they show discernment in
estimating the ability of their local retail-
ers to serve them. They can tell after visit-
ing an establishment and talking with the
proprietor whether this firm is worthy of
their patronage. They quickly learn to
trust the business man who always gives them as
good as they can get in the cities.

"The farm trade" is the big factor in analyzing the
possibilities of the Kansas (and many Western) com-
munities. Most merchants aim at farm patronage;
and nowadays, the farmers are buying fine things for
their homes. Flowers from the florist? Yes; and fine
pottery, and fine glassware. The agricultural colleges,
through home economics departments, have marvel-
ously improved the tastes and ambitions of farm
women, who in the past few years have begun to deco-
rate their homes, and install such equipment and acces-
sories for comfort and pleasure, as townspeople enjoy.

Coffeyville — and other "interior" towns, even
smaller — sells as high-class women's wear as most
big city stores ; its specialty shops are likely to meas-
ure up to any of the widely exploited specialty shops
of the East, and its beauty parlors and salons for
intimate service of feminine needs, have proportion-
ately larger patronage, considering urban population,
than the similar establishments" in the cities.

The public in Coffeyville wants just as nice things,
and appreciates fine service just as thoroughly, as the
public in Boston or Louisville. And the florist who
in his growing and in his retail shop measures up
to the big city standards, in equipment and method?
and variety of stocks, in flowers and merchandise,
profits greatly because he serves well.

Ask "Cope." "Cope" may be either Mr. or Mrs.
W. G. Coupland, proprietors and operators of Coup-
land's, Coffeyville, Kan., etc. This is a partnership in
the fullest sense of the world — in greeuhouses, in
conservatory, in store, and in sport. If you are really
going to ask "Cope," better telegraph or call up be-

stone. They devote plenty of time to "restoration of
their souls," and to observation of the florist business
elsewhere and absorption of new ideas.

Setting the Pace in Coffeyville

Have you been sufficiently impressed with the
declaration that a florist in a small town can grow
and merchandise with the same high standards, the

same fine grade of equipment and merchandise, as the
florist in the big city of populous centers? He can
do it. And here's what happens when he tries to do
it — tries studiously and earnestly, with a vision of
big things. He becomes the leader in his community.
The town grows up to him. He feeds the inherent
desire for progress in his town, and so stimulates
the better natures of the people, urging them to match
his pace.

Coupland's was established at the edge of town
about 15 years ago, several blocks from the business
district, as is the case with floral etsablishments in
most small towns. But it was never merely a green-
house, the kind that has a cluttered packing room
in which to receive customers. It had a real sales-
room, with plants, cut flowers and merchandise; there
was such an atmosphere that customers confidently
bought designs and bouquets and sprays. Improve-
ments were made from time to time; and when the
greenhouse was completely destroyed by a tornado
five years ago, a new retail shop and a conservatory
were erected.

The retail shop is on a corner, entrance being in
the corner of the 'building, and windows on both
streets. The workroom has windows on the side
street ; the conservatory is on the street leading to
the business center. The salesroom, visible from each
street, is finished in mahogany with mahogany furni-
ture; and the window flooring is of black tile. The
windows are always carefully decorated and changed
every two or three days. They are lighted until 10
o'clock at night.

The conservatory is entered through a
large arch from the merchandise display
section of the salesroom. Remember, the
conservatory, the fine salesroom, the mer-
chandise display, the oft renewed windows,
are in a small town — an interior town of
13,000 population — in Kansas. The estab-
lishment had been several blocks distant
from the business center. But Coffeyville
is like Chicago or Kansas City, in that city
growth tends toward the direction of most
travel. Because people went often to the
flower store, because people tended to go
by this way to and from town, merchants
found the street of the store and conserva-
tory, the good business street. And the
town is now building out toward the flower
store. The latest new business structures
are a block from the store. Coupland's is
the determining factor in the development
of Coffeyville.

"Cope" has 22,000ft. of glass— or had
that amount a few weeks ago. Two new
greenhouses are being built. There are sev-
eral lots under the shower system of irri-
gation. The firm "grows everything" — and
it does about everything with plants, flowers, and
native grasses that is done anywhere. In Summer,
there is special attention to outdoor stock, and Coup-
land's is widely known for use of native vegetation
in prepared products.

"It can be done" anywhere. And judging from the
high spirits of the Couplands, the better the job cf
growing flowers and merchandising, the more fun the
florist can get out of every opportunity in life.
Whether it is at the gun club or in a boat or motor
car. in a florists' convention or in a social circle,
Mr. and Mrs. Coupland have a fine time — as fine as in
growing flowers and selling them.

Established lt«S

To Insure Superior Steamer
Service

Editor The Florists Exchange :

H. G. Perry's talk on steamer service
in the East, and that of Fred Seulberger
on the same subject from the Pacific
point of view, as given at the F. T. D.
meeting, were both interesting and valu-
able for tbe practical advice they con-
tained. But, while they suggested that
the steamer trade at the larger ports is
far greater than many of us "fresh
water" florists may have imagined, it
seemed to the writer that they also sug-
gested that there was room for still more
expansion. One obstacle in the path of
such expansion appears to be the fact
that once the flowers are delivered at the
dock they pass out of the control of the
florist and the satisfaction they subse-
quently give to recipient (and donor,
too) must depend on the treatment they
receive at the hands of more or less over-
worked stewards who cannot be expected
to know much about the best way to
handle and care for them.

A solution of this difficulty has sug-
gested itself to me and I want to sub-
mit it for the consideration of those who
handle steamer business and who are
better filled to judge whether or not it is
practicable and if so, whether it offers
any element of promise. It is, briefly, this:

Might not the retailers in such" a city
as New York. Boston or San Francisco
get together and create a fund with
which to secure on every large steamer
leaving that port the services of a spe-
cial "flower steward" whose first and
most important duty would be to receive
all floral consignments at the dock, de-
liver them to the proper staterooms (or
carry them to a cooled room set apart
for their use and storage until called
for), renew the water in vases through-
out the ship from day to day, trim stems
removed faded blooms and, in general, do
for the plant decorations aboard the
steamer during each trip what a private
gardener does in the garden and country
home. Already. I understand, palms and
terns are used to deck the saloons and
promenades of these vast floating pal-
aces. Might not the availability of a
trained florist or florist's helper lead to
a marked increase in this utilization of
plants and of cut flowers, too, with
added enjoyment for the voyagers and
greater publicity for our business?

According to Mr. Perry the big steam-
ship companies deserve generous" thanks
for the cooperation they have already
aftorded the trade in enabling it to de-
velop the steamer flower business. And
this despite an occasional hitch or slip
up for which it is almost impossible to
find the one responsible. Might not an
offer from the florists embodying some
such plan as I have outlined, tend to
recognize and repay any existing obliga-
tion and result in closer and friendlier
relations? Whether the details of the
scheme would enclose the employment of
such a flower steward by the cooperat-
ing florists, or whether he should be a
regular member of the ship's company
recommended and trained by them and
paid out of their contributed fund, is
unimportant at this time.

The question is, is the idea practical,
is steamer business large enough to jus-
tify it. or, if not so at present, might
not the plan perhaps create enough extra
business to justify itself?

These are the days of the unique and
attractive flower shop so that a fitting
atmosphere may be created, which flowers
so richly deserve.

J. R. Baumann has now in course of
construction a retail store, patterned
after the much admired English Cot-
tage, with a 30ft. front and a depth of
40ft., one and a half stories high, on the
Lincoln Highway, the main road between
New York and Philadelphia.

The ceilings will be of the beamed
type, and in all other ways an effort is
being made to reproduce a replica of the
cottages one sees in rural England.

A. Hitchings & Co.'s curved eave, all
steel frame house is, as well, being built
adjoining the cottage.

Mr. Baumann anticipates opening his
new retail establishment before Thanks-
giving. He is a member of the F. T. D.
and reports a most satisfactory share of
telegraph orders for delivery in Rahway
and surrounding towns.

In Behalf of Visibie Price Tags

Editor The Florists Exchange:

It may be, as a recent writer remarks,
that a high price mark may occasionally
stop a sale, but on the other hand many
people imagine flowers to be much dearer
than they really are. So the chances are
that the advantages would more than
make up for the drawbacks. Again a
great many people have only a vague idea
of what a dozen flowers really look like
when properly displayed in a vase. They
are frequently astonished to see the dif-
ference between the dozen packed in the
box and the same dozen displayed in the
vase. This is just where the retail flo-
rist can educate his patrons in the mat-
ter of prices and applied values, es-
pecially the small towners whose patrons
are not often as wealthy as those of the
big city florists, and are mostly only oc-
casional buyers. However, these men
(small towners if you like) in the aggre-
gate use up a tremendous number of flow-
ers in the course of a year and are a
mighty valuable asset to the trade at
large. At the same time they are a mod-
est class of men for you never hear
much of them either vocally or in writ-
ing, more's the pity, as their efforts and

experiences must be at least as valuable

city men are to their group.

But, Mr. Editor, as usual I have wan-
dered far from my subject, which was to
endorse most emphatically your comments
on having plants and flowers priced in
plain figures. I know I am often drawn
to make a purchase when I see something
I can use and can afford the price, where-
as if it were not marked I might not be
interested. Being an average man myself
I am apt to act as other average men do,
so it is only fair to suppose that many
others regard the florist stores as I re-
gard shops of other lines. Why not,
then, adopt what others have found a
good thing? S. B.

Trade on the Up Grade

Members of the trade generally
concede that business is, at last, really
on the up grade. The past week has
seen a change in weather conditions and
the fogs and dampness now prevailing are
detrimental to the outdoor blooms, with
the possible exception of Dahlias, which
the first frost will put out of commission.
The B. E. Hammond Co. states that
business is improving in all departments,
florists supplies and Willowware being in
strong demand. Cut blooms are fairly
plentiful in all classes.

Chrysanthemums, $1.50 to $2.50 per
doz., with choice Turners at $2.50 to $3;
Carnations, $3 to $4 per 100, quality
good: Gladioli in fair supply at $2 and
$3 per 100; Roses, $6 to $12 per 100, with
Design Roses at $3 and $4 per 100; Arum
Lilies, $1.50 per doz. Pompon 'Mums are
in heavy demand at 35e. per bunch, and
are coming in freely from local grow-
ers. Violets are in good supply at $1.25
per doz. Zinnias, Marigolds and Asters
are still dribbling in and realize $1:50
per 100. Asparagus brings 40c. per
bunch; Adiantum 35c. per bunch. Or-
chids, both Cattleyas and Cypripediums,
are also available. Bduvardia and Gar-
denias from local sources are fairly plen-
tiful. Out-of-city fern and Huckleberry
shipments are very good. Valley is in
fair demand at $10 per 100. Laceflower,
local grown, brings $1.50 per 100.

Fred McBratney of the B. E. Hammond
staff returned on Saturday from a vacation

lately manager of A. M. Terrills, Ltd.,
Calgary, has opened an uptodate new
store under the name of Gerald Gibson,
Ltd., in that city.

McCoy's South Park Greenhouses (Geo.
Niblett, grower) are cutting nice Carna-
tions, also sending in some good Cycla-
men.

Vern Jackson of the City Store
says business jumped last week, small
sales being especially good. He figures
that if you satisfy the small buyer, they
will eventually grow into bigger buyers.

Rosaia Bros, had elegant windows of
Dahlias at both their Third ave. stores,
in keeping with Dahlia Show week.

An effective wreath noticed here was
composed of Adiantum, Bouvardia and
Gardenia, relieved by Cypripediums and
Saintpaulia. The latter were especially ef-
fective, yet one seldom sees them used,
although the culture of the plant is simple
and the wealth of bloom most satisfactory.

At the Woodlawn Flower Shop several
vases of single 'Mums were seen. The
majority of our retailers do not, how-
ever, seem to realize the usefulness of
this type for decorative effects. The
same applies to the single Asters; one
grower who tried them out this year says
he had absolutely no sale for them.

Fred Gust reports a great demand for
pot ferns, which are being offered_ with
jardiniere complete at a special price of
$2.00..

Gladys Cohen of the office staff of the
Woodlawn Shop has left on a month's
vacation visit to San Francisco.

It is to be regretted that Harry
Crouch, proprietor of this store, was by
the exigencies of business prevented from
attending the F. T. D. Convention at Bal-
timore. However, at the last monthly

he gave a short talk on the good work
being performed by the F. T. D. in the
Florists' interests.

Hollywood Gardens has a stylish new
delivery car — a Dodge 1923 model — hand-
somelv finished in black and gold.

Sam Dunlop says business seems to be
opening up with a bang. Saturday's trade
resulted in a cleanup. His store has an
advance Hallowe'en window, the lowly,
but popular Pumpkin, electrically lighted
being partially concealed in a varied pro-
fusion of local fruits. Candlesticks in
orange and black contain orange colored
candles artistically decorated by hand with
black cats, witches and moons, executed
bv Mrs. Dunlop.

' Hollywood Gardens supplied the palms,
ferns and other greenery used in decor-
ating the rooms in the Chamber of Com-
merce building for the Amateur Dahlia
Show.
A Question of Policy

To solicit or not to solicit? To can-
vass or not to canvass? These are ques-
tions which are affecting some of our
local retailers. Dr. W. H. Moore, the
popular president of the local Florists
Association, has declared against the
practice in no uncertain terms and con-
siders it derogatory to the dignity and
honor of the profession. We agree with
him. It would be interesting to hear
some trade opinions on this subject.

This is Dahlia Week in our city. Ama-
teur growers are running a three day show
under the auspices of the Chamber of
Commerce. Some excellent blooms are on
display, including a large number of lo-
cally raised varieties.

A". E. Ferris, manager of the Floral
Department of Mathieson's Port Angelos,
is in the city purchasing supplies.

I. V. Wilson of the Floral Exchange,
Bellingham, Wash., came down on Thurs-
day last to drive home his new Big Six
Studebaker. Be careful, Ira.

A. H. McCormick, Post Falls, Ida., a
member of our fraternity, and Jack Burt,
of the House of Flowers, Spokane, were
local trade visitors the past week.

Miss Helen Cameron, for some time
with Annavee's Flower Shop, and her
sister, Miss Marion, until recently secre-
tary to Sen. Jones, at Washington, D.
C, ' were visitors on Thursday last pur-
chasing supplies and equipment for then-
new flower shop at Yakima. These pro-
gressive young ladies have secured a fine
location and appear to be entering the
trade under very favorable auspices.

Fall Flower Exhibition Plans

The report of the Fall Flower Show
Committee composed of C. H. Benson,
Andrew Mathieson and Geo. Grafton was
submitted at the meeting of the Seattle
Florists Association on Oct. 8. It outlined
the various classes of flowers to he ex-
hibited and made suggestions as to how
advantage could be derived, from the
show. The discussion which followed
proved that members were in favor of a
show but were divided as to how most
benefit could be obtained from it. The
week preceding Thanksgiving was sug-
gested as the most suitable time as being
likely to stimulate and increase thanks-
giving sales. After further debate it

was finally decided to run a special dis-
play of florists' flowers and plants in
every store in the city for the three days
of Nov. 14, 15 and 16, and to draw the
attention of the public to the same by
local advertising in the press and other-
wise; also by inviting the flower loving
public to inspect the various stores each
day. This arrangement is understood to
be in accordance with the wishes of a
majority of both growers and retailers.

The subject of specializing by growers
was also brought forward, several mem-
bers giving their views on the matter. It
is a subject supplying food for thought
and will be brought up again after the
growers have discussed it at a meeting
held at the St. Regis Cafe at 7 p.m. Tues-
day nest.

Tom Wylie has been appointed custo-
dian of the Question Box and good re-
sults are to be expected as a result of his
stewardship.

Seattle's share of the cost of a chal-
lenge cup to be competed for annually by
florist bowling teams representing Port-
land, Tacoma and Seattle, is $25, and
was voted unanimously. No wonder
Friend Nicklas is getting his bowlers so
busy. Evidently he doesn't want to get
left.

The merchants of Seattle have arranged
to decorate the city streets in a sea-
sonable manner from Nov. 25 to Dec. 25,
and through the Chamber of Commerce
have appointed Dr. W. H. Moore of Hol-
lywood Gardens to superintend the work.

Some time ago I had occasion to refer
to the fact that local growers had com-
plained that they are unable to obtain
any information from the Government
Bulb Farm at Bellingham, Wash., on bulb
diseases.

Bulb Information Wanted from
Government

This matter has again come to my
attention during the past week when a
grower who handles a large quantity of
Gladiolus bulbs for commercial cut flow-
ers drew the attention of a State in-
spector to, the condition of a quantity of
his conns; the inspector frankly stated
he knew nothing about bulb diseases, but
offered to send them for inspection. The
offer was accepted, and in due time a
report was received from the State Agri-
cultural College at Pullman, Wash., which
stated there was no disease present, but
that whatever was wrong appeared to be
the result of the bulbs having been forced,
or grown in a wet soil. The grower in
question has thrown away hundreds _ of
corms similarly affected, because, having
found that they never bloom and are
never healthy, he is convinced that they
are diseased. He considers the report un-
satisfactory, but does not blame the Pull-
man experts, as he realizes their experi-
ence must be considerably less than his
own. The matter has been further
brought to my notice by a letter received
from a well known horticulturist and
member of the Bellingham Chamber of

Commerce. His remarks, which are much
to the point, disclose another of the
cheeseparing policies of the Department
of Agriculture, and provide additional ar-
gument for the establishment of a sepa-
rate Department of Horticulture run by
officials who are competent to deal with
matters in that field. Here we have an
instance in which, as a result, of favor-
able reports broadcasted by a govern-
ment department, many small growers
have taken up the production of bulbs and
a whole community is spending money
freely to boost that local production of
horticultural material for which there is
a big market, provided the product is cor-
rectly handled and kept free from disease.
But at a critical stage no help is forth-
coming; indeed, the Government bulb
farm itself at the time of my visit last
year, was gradually being devoted to other
objects than those it was originally in-
tended for.

Personally I agree entirely with the
writer of the letter, and also with the
numerous small growers of this section,
who all agree that they are being de-
liberately neglected. Geo. Cooper.

WATERBURY. CONN.

[The letter referred to by Mr. Cooper
contains the following paragraphs which
we believe many of our readers will find
of interest and will agree with. — Editor.]

I am much interested in the remarks
of Max Reece quoted bv you in a recent
issue of THE FLORISTS EXCHANGE
regarding the Government Bulb Farm
at Bellingham and I wish very much
that either you or Mr. Reece would
make these same comments to the De-
partment of Agriculture at Washington,
D. C Just talking such things amongst
ourselves avails nothing in the way of
realizing the valuable service which
many others, as well as Mr. Reece.
think should be performed by the Gov-
ernment Bulb Station. Possibly if the
Department of Agriculture could be
made to realize how earnestly is de-
sired the service and information that
lonly the experimental station can give,
some action might be taken by the De-
partment to give the people what they
want. I am satisfied that the Govern-
ment officials who have the Bulb Farm
under direct control are doing all that
they can with the funds which are al-
lowed to them, but these funds are so
pitifully small that they are unable to
accomplish much that is iof benefit.

The Government Bulb Farm has dem-
onstrated the commercial possibility of
growing several kinds of so-called Hol-
land bulbs in the Puget Sound Basin,
but no funds seem to be available for
distributing information or for continu-
ing a solution of the problems which
confront the individual or company
when growing on a commercial basis.

The lack of funds might be remedied
if the Department could hear from a
number of people that a continuation
of the bulb demonstration is desired
and f suggest that you and Mr. Reece
and any others interested write to the
proper bureau of the Department of
Agriculture and make a forceful expres-
sion of their ideas and of their own re-
quirements.

It is a pity that we have now to
find fault with the weather man who
gave us such bright warm, sunny weather
in September. That same weather
brought on an overabundance of cut
stock which the growers had planned
only for October, with the result a short-
age of cut stock now, especially Roses.
October came in dull and wet, which
was against the rapid recovery. 'Mums
are not very plentiful, good stock, mak-
ing fancy prices. Carnations are not a
full crop, as yet ; but are improving daily.
Given bright weather, we may expect
normal conditions in the near future.

I have noticed some very effective dis-
play windows in our florist's stores on
our "Broadway" St. Catherine St.

Mr. Crewson, Campbell's new decora-
tor, had a nice display window. He used
pots of Ericas, 'Mums, English Ivy with
a background of Cibotium ferns and large
vases of cut 'Mums.

McKenna's decorator had a unique
window display, the device being a 40ft.
electrical sign with an endless belt con-
veyer carrying attractive display cards,
emphasizing the firm's wares. Morecraft
(English), Pulper and Zainsville pottery
were on display in bright tints in the
background, among a bower of 'Mums.
A panel effect was used, the whole being
carried out in an artistic manner, an
irresistible attraction to the passersby.

Ley & McAllans had an important and,
at the same time, difficult commission
entrusted to them during the past week.
It being the seventy-fifth anniversary of
the foundation of the St. Patrick's K. C.
Church, the clergy wanted that edifice
suitably decorated for this occasion.
Twenty large cases of Southern Smilax
were used. Garlands 140ft. long were
made and festooned from the peaked ceil-
ings, the difficult part being to place
these long garlands in place. After a
visit to the church the writer could not
see how this was done, so he had to in-
terview the decorator Charlie Wilson.
I was told Charlie had to climb among
the rafters away up, bore holes where
he wanted to fix the garlands, let down
a rope, haul up and fasten them _ in
place. This was a long, tedious job,
but the effect was splendid as the wild
Smilax lends itself for this class of deco-
ration.

Florists are experiencing a shortage of
flowers, but 'Mums are beginning to come
in in larger quantities.

Mrs. K. Abel, florist, 2825 Dundas St.,

RECOGNIZING and rejoicing in the splendid spirit of friendship, understand-
ing and cooperation that holds the horiculturists of the United States in
close touch with their Canadian brothers, THE EXCHANGE has created
this new department to give expression to and foster that spirit. Its object will
be not only to present the horticultural news of All Canada in such form that it
will be most accessible and of greatest interest to our readers in the Dominion,
but also to keep our readers at home better informed as to what is being projected
and accomplished across the line to the North.

To supply feature material for this department and to maintain close contact
between THE EXCHANGE and Canadian interests, we are fortunate in having
secured the services of W. E. Groves of Hamilton — a man who needs no. intro-
duction to his thousands of countrymen in the horticultural field. For others we
need mention only that he is General Manager of John Connon Co., Ltd., that
he is an ex-President of the Canadian Florists and Gardeners Association, and
at present a Director of the Canadian Horticultural Council. His close connec-
tion with both trade, governmental and educational interests along horticultural
lines will enable him to present to our readers the really significant developments
of the day, the matters that have not only national but international bearing on
the still larger world progress of the industry.

Incidentally, we may mention that as a pledge of our determination to cement
still more firmly the mutual interests of Canada and the U. S. A., we have re-
established our former subscription price of $2.50 a year for Canada. We do
this in the hope that the response of our Canadian friends, new and old, will be
such as to enable us to continually increase the measure and quality of our
service to them and to American horticulture as a whole. Similarly, we look to
our tradesmen to support our efforts with added publicity in the knowledge that
by so doing they will be promoting their own interests no less than those of
Canadian consumers — and, of ourselves. — The Editors.

Results of Successful Effort to Coordinate Horticultural
Interests and Cooperate with Government

ONE of the most important developments of Canadian horticulture, as yet
only partially recognized and appreciated, is the establishment of the
Canadian Horticultural Council. For three or four years the Canadian
Florists and Gardeners Association, through its educational committee, has been
working at the task of trying to create some kind of association that would
embrace every branch of horticulture and deal nationally with the everyday
problems of the professions. Early this year fruit and vegetable men caught
the inspiration and almost spontaneously the various branches were brought
together for conference, which finally result in an organization meeting in May
at which a constitution was adopted, officers and a directorate elected, and a
number of plans formulated for future work. The nursery industry has a repre-
sentative, as has also the Canadian F. and G. Ass'n, the ex-president of the latter
being a director of the Council. A secretary with offices in the Capital is installed
and work of the most valuable nature is being done. Fortunately, the Federal
Government gave a substantial grant for organizing purposes and it is hoped to
secure still another grant for special work involved, but for the most part the
Council will have to pay its own way. It has just received its charter of incor-
poration.

The objects of the Council, as laid down in its Constitution, make interesting
reading, but would occupy too much space here. Briefly they cover such work as
plant origination and registration, grading and packing, beneficial legislation,
interprovineial, cooperation, horticultural education, marketing methods, and a
hun'dred and one other things that are met with constantly. One very important
aspect of the work is the fact that the Governmental departments have agreed to
look upon the Council as the mouthpiece of the various industries concerned.
When the great area of the Dominion is remembered, it is easily seen how ad-
vantageous is this provision ; moreover, it is being proved almost weekly.

Of all the subjects dealt with up to the present, that of chief importance is
registration. For several years the Canadian F. and G. Ass'n has, through its
registration committee, been trying to bring into being a system of plant regis-
tration that would protect the raiser and safeguard the interests of the pur-
chaser, thus laying the foundation on which the new organization is able to
build a splendid structure. W. T. Macoun, the Dominion horticulturist, is the
chairman of this committee, which has met on several occasions. A definite plan
of procedure for bringing registration into effect is already agreed upon. The
committee's report is now being prepared for submission to the Council at an
early date. Of interest to all your readers is the fact that for practically the
first time it is proposed to make registration international, by working in con-
junction with such associations as the Society of American Florists and the
Royal Horticultural Society in England. Plant registration is likely to be estab-
lished in the near future on a firm footing. -

Another matter of nationwide importance is the manufacture of fruit juices.
It is calculated that if all the stuff sold as fruit juices were pure, there is not

treated him to a dinner and theatre
party.

A special meeting of the Toronto Retail
Florists Club was held in their club
rooms on Oct. 18 .to consider the part the
club would take in the Royal Winter
Fair. After considerable discussion, it
was felt that the club should support the
show and empowered their representa-
tives, G. M. Geraghty and S. A. Me-
Fadden to take any steps they thought
necessary. The Winter Fair will be held
in the Coliseum Nov. 22 to 29 and the
florists will occupy a part of the upper
floor. It was decided to divide up the
flowers and distribute these exhibits
among the fruits.

Toronto delegates to the F. T. D.
brought back word that judging by ap-
pearances, a pretty, young American flo-
rist had quite won the heart of a certain
bachelor Canadian florist. It is reported
that they intend settling in London and
that the event will take place in time
to take in the St. Louis annual meeting.

Toronto retailers would like to see a
uniform system of grading adopted so
that no matter what season it might be, a
certain grade would always be the same
length. This would be of inestimable
benefit where a florist was compelled to
buy from two or more sources and would
assure him that all the flowers would be
the same length.

Gardeners and Florists Meeting

The regular meeting of the Gar-
deners and Florists Association was held
on Oct. 16 with President Clark in the
chair. It was decided to elect two judges
who will be recommended to the director-
ate of the Royal Winter Fair. This will
be done at the annual meeting on Nov.
20. Several new members were admitted:
J. W. Patterson, S. Jenner, Chas. Miller,
W. J. Simpson and Wm. Longlands.

The librarian, R. Heyward, reviewed the
various periodicals received during the
month including The Exchange and the
Gardeners Chronicle. A committee was
appointed to look into the matter of
bookcases to keep the various books, etc.,
in the meeting room as they would be of
greater use to members. Geo. Douglas
and W. Foord were appointed auditors.
There will be a large show at the an-
nual meeting on Nov. 20. P. L. Whytock,
representative, reported on the Royal Win-
ter Fair. Growers from Ontario and other
provinces as well as dealers in florists'
supplies have asked for space. A compli-
ment was paid to Mr. Burrows, 21 Cliff
St., Ottawa, secretary of the Canadian
Council of Horticulture, for the good work
he is doing in organizing the various
branches. Arrangements will be made
for a lecture on chemicals for the soil to
be given at an early meeting.

Messrs Clark, Johnston and Charles
were appointed a committee to call on
Wm. Hoath who has been ill for some
time.

The secretary's recommendation to take
steps to form a gardeners branch of the
C. F. G. A. was discussed freely and it
was then unanimously decided to take the
necessary steps to bring this about.

A committee consisting of G. Thompson,
W. J. Potter and A. Simpson was ap-
pointed to investigate the side drainage
of pots and report. G. C. K.

The Ad Man was turning over the pages
of a copy of The Exchange, just brought
up from the press room. From afar we
noticed his shoulders suddenly begin to
shake and heard his contagious chuckle.
As we approached to learn the cause of
his merriment he looked up with his dis-
arming smile. "D'j'e see the Chicago seed
notes?" he asked. "Queer bunch o' birds
they must have out there. It says Sam
Ginsberg has been kept off the road late-
ly by a sprained wrist. D'ye suppose he's
in the habit of going around on his
hands? Gosh, I gotta ask Jay Em about
it," and off he dashed in search of the
young lady to whom he entrusts his let-
ters to recalcitrant advertisers, his &o»-

The Canadian Horticultural Council at Work

enough fruit grown in the country to supply it. A strong effort is now being
made to have the Department enforce the Adulteration Act in this respect. If
this is done it will primarily give to the consumer a beverage that is not poison-
ous, and secondarily it will give a boost to the fruit grower and the nurseryman.
At present the discussion is confined to the question of which department has
the necessary jurisdiction.

The Nurserymen's Section, together with the Florists and Gardeners Sec-
tion, recently met with the Insect and Pest Act Advisory Board to confer on
certain amendments to the regulations governing imports. Further reference
will probably be made to this important matter as it vitally affects imports from
all countries. For the present, it may be stated that there is a new set of regula-
tions under discussion that would seriously affect the importation of nursery
stock. It was with a view to discussing these proposals that a strong deputation
interviewed the Advisory Board, and it is hoped that an acceptable decision will
be given. The extreme attitude of the Federal Horticultural Board in the U. S.
A. has been felt in Canada, and nurserymen are naturally anxious when the
world regulation is mentioned. Up to the present, however, nothing but the
most cordial relationships have existed between the Department and the trade,
everything in the way of cooperation being desired by the nurserymen who are,
of course, the most interested. The proposals made for import regulation were
of such vital importance that real alarm was felt, hence the interview with the
Board which was quite friendly in character.

Still one other matter is engaging the attention of the Canadian Horticul-
tural Council, that of recommending certain standards for the judging of fruit,
flower, and vegetable exhibits throughout the Dominion. While a great deal of
nonsense is talked at times about the sins of judges, and while there will always
be errors as long as there is the human element, it is perhaps wise to make this
effort to assist those who honestly try to do the difficult work of judging. Every
gain in this direction will also help to popularize exhibitions. A strong com-
mittee is at work on this, and it may well be considered a question worth think-
ing about internationally.

Among other things commanding the attention of the trade in Canada just
now is the formation of a Canadian Nurserymen's Association, about which more

National Publicity Campaign

Information furnished by John Young,
43 Wesl ISth Street, New York

An all-day meeting of the publicity
Committee was held at the Administra-
tion Offices of the society, 43 West ISth
st, New York, on Monday. Oct. 9. There
were present : President S. S. Pennock,
Henry Penn, chairman ; John Young,
secretary ; C. C. Pollworth, George
Asmus, Major P. F. O'Keefe, F. H.
Traendly, and. for part of the time, Vice-
president-elect Wallace R. Pierson, and
H. D. Brookins, Buffalo, N. Y., represent-
ing the Western New York Publicity
Ass'n.

The reading of the minutes of the
meeting held in Indianapolis was dis-
pensed with, transcripts of same having
been circulated among the committee.

The secretary was instructed to wire
the Florists Telegraph Delivery Ass'n,
in session at Baltimore, requesting that
that body take action at its meeting in
regard to its usual appropriation to the
Campaign Fund.

As all subscriptions are how to be
used entirely for national advertising,
the expenses of the campaign being as-
sumed by the S. A. F. and O. H. at the
recommendation of the society's board of
directors, which was approved at the
Kansas City Convention, the secretary
reported that the balance available at
that date for immediate advertising con-
tracts, amounted to $10,107.75.

It had been arranged that in conjunc-
tion with this meeting, a conference with
representatives of allied florists' organi-
zations interested in publicity for flowers
be held, but, after discussion, Chairman
Penn recommended that in compliance
with a suggestion of J. F. Ammann, such
conference be postponed until the next
day, Tuesday, and be held in Baltimore.

Considerable time was spent in a dis-
cussion in regard to methods of conduct-
ing the campaign w-hieh might lead to a
better understanding of its objects and,
consequently, a better support. A plan
suggested by Mr. Pennock, termed a
''multiple membership plan," one looking

to a sustaining membership arrangement,
was considered at great length, but no
action was taken upon it. While nothing
definite came out of the discussion, a lot
of ideas resulted, some of which may
take material form before the close of
the year.

A series of advertisements in national
magazines, to appear during December,
was decided upon, and an appropriation
of $8500 made to cover the expense. It
was also arranged that copies of the ad-
vertisements, one of which was to be a
page in colors, should be mailed to each
subscriber, also to each member of the
Florists Telegraph Delivery Association,
which body was giving very material sup-
port to the campaign. The magazines
decided upon were the following :

Vogue 1 page (color) Dec. 15

Vanity Fair 1 page Dec.

House and Garden 1 page Dec

Collier's 1 column, 1st issue Dec

Life 1 column, 2d issue Dec.

Outlook 1 column, 1st issue Dec.

Quality Group, comprising Atlantic
Century, Harper's, Review of Reviews,
Scribner's, World's Work, all for Dec.

These papers represent an actual cir-
culation of nearly two and one-half mil-
lion copies, with a reading circulation of
over ten million readers.

The meeting adjourned, to be recon-
vened in Baltimore next day.

In Baltimore

The committee went into adjourned
session in Baltimore, at the Emerson
Hotel, at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 10.
There were present Henry Penn, chair-
man, President S. S. Pennock, Secretary
John Young, George Asmus, J. Fred
Ammann, C. C. Pollworth, Philip Breit-
meyer, president F. T. D. A. ; Major
O'Keefe, F. H. Traendly, treasurer Al-
lied Florists Trade Ass'n of New York ;
Paul R. Klingsporn and H. V. Swenson,
of the Allied Florists Ass'n of Chicago ;
H. D. Brookins, of the Western New
York Publicity Ass'n, and Irwin Berter-
mann, president-elect of the S. A. F. and
O. H.

Chairman Penn gave an account of the
proceedings of the committee at the meet-
ing in New York and the decisions there
made.

The session was mainly devoted to a
discussion of possibilities in regard to the
institution of an emblem which could be
used by subscribers to the Campaign
Fund, and members of supporting organi-

zations to distinguish them as supporters
of the campaign. As a result, two or
three plans were forthcoming ; these are
to be worked out, with the idea of adopt-
ing one which will meet general ap-
proval.

A committee, composed of Major
O'Keefe, S. S. Pennock, Henry Penn,
George Asmus, and Secretary John
Young, was appointed, to act upon all
the recommendations made at the two
meetings, such committee to hold a pre-
liminary meeting, if possible, at St.
Louis, during the Flower Show there,
which is to open on Nov. 7. It is ex-
pected that by this time, plans under
consideration by the committee will have
developed sufficiently to make such a
meeting advisable.

The Market

Oct. 24. — The history of the condi-
tions prevailing in the Wholesale Gut
Flower Market since Tuesday of last
week, up to and through Tuesday of this
week, is largely a repetition of that of
the week before. On Friday and Satur-
day of last week, the demand for all sea-
sonable cut flowers showed considerable
increase and prices were firmer, conse-
quently they advanced a little on some
items of stock. On Monday of this week,
the demand fell off considerably, and to-
day, it is hardly up to what might be
expected for this season of the year. As
regards the arrivals, they are not above
medium on any item, except, perhaps,
Chrysanthemums, and these are in no
more than seasonable supply this week,
although the supply last week was very
large.

American Beauty Roses are in rather
large supply. The range of price cover-
ing all grades from No. 2 to specials is
from 4c. to 50c. each. The quality of
these Roses, we note, is improving as the
season advances; the demand is not above
medium. Other Roses are in about the
normal supply for the season. Arrivals
are not overlarge, but are quite suffi-
cient to satisfy the present moderate de-
mand. Top grade blooms are bringing
from 10c. to 15c. each in general, but
Hadley of that grade is realizing 20c. and
Key, 35e. No. 2 grade blooms are fetch-
ing $3 per 100, which is about $1 less
than they were bringing on Saturday of
last week.

Carnations are only in medium supply
for the season. The demand for these is
moderate at prices ranging from S1.50
to $4 per 100.

Cattleyas are in abundant supply and
are moving out rather slowly at 25c to
75c. each. A few Cypripediums are now
arriving and are selling at $3 per doz.
Gardenias are in somewhat larger supply
and prices are not as firm, ranging from
|2 to $4 per doz. Arrivals of Lily of the
\ alley have increased somewhat, but it
is moving out slowly at $1 to $6 per
100. White Lilies are not in heavy sup-
ply, but there are too many of them when
we take into consideration the fact that
they are in competition with white 'Mums
of all sizes. Prices are ranging from $10
to $15 per 100.

'Mums are now the leading flower. Ar-
rivals are seasonably large, covering
many varieties of not-only the large flow-
ered sorts, but also Pompons and Sin-
gles. The quality is excellent and the de-
mand quite active; $1 to $4 per doz.
is the range of prices for the large flow-
■ red and 20c. to SI a bunch for the
Pompons and Singles.

The moderate arrivals of Snapdragon
are moving more slowly than last week
and at diminished prices,- namely 35c. to
75e. per bunch. Arrivals of Sweet Peas
are considerably larger, but not heavy
and they are meeting with a fair demand
^t $2 to $3 per 100. The supply of both
double and single Violets is more than
sufficient to fill the limited demand for
these at 20c. to 40c. for the former and
35e. to 50c. for the latter per 100.

There is the usual supply of indoor and
outdoor greens, namely Adiantum cunea-
tum at $1.50 to $2 per 100, and Farley ense
at $10 to $12. Asparagus at $1 to $2
and Smilax at $1.50 to $2 per doz. strings.
All outdoor hardy greens, namely ferns,
Galax, Laurel and sprays of Oak foliage
are plentiful, the last meeting with, the
greatest demand at present.

Hallowe'en

Tuesday, Oct. 31, will be Hallo-
we'en. This day in our time is kept in a
much different way than that so inter-
estingly described in Robert Burns' fam-
ous poem, "Hallowe'en." There will no
doubt be many Hallowe'en windows in
the stores of this city, especially in the
flower shops, but at this writing (Tues-
day, Oct. 24) these displays have not
been arranged as far as our observation
goes, except the unusually elaborate, ar-
tistic and attention compelling window at
the store of Kervan Co., 119 West 28th
St., as described in a previous issue of
The Exchange.

Florists Club to Occupy New Quarters

The regular monthly meeting of the
Florists Club will be held at 7.30 p.m.
on Monday, Nov. 6 in the new club quar-
ters in the Hotel Pennsylvania, 7th ave.
at 33d st., directly opposite the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Station. A fuller notice
of this meeting will appear in the next
issue of The Exchange.

Kerwilvan, 112 West 28th St., whose
specialty is ribbons and Florida ferns, is
also occupying space at 123 West 28th st.,
under the name of Willard Kervan, for
the more convenient display and sale of
its ferns.

Among the callers in this city this week
who were here for strictly business pur-
poses is Robert Shoch, representing M.
Rice & Co., Philadelphia. Mr. Shoch is
making his headquarters at the McAlpin
Hotel, 34th st. and 6th ave., where he
is using a sample room for the display of
samples of the regular line of goods and
novelties offered by the firm he repre-
sents. Many of the local retailers, we
understand, are calling to see these sam-
ple goods.

Another business caller is Mrs. Victor
Bergman of Chicago, who has taken quar-
ters at the Hotel Imperial, Broadway at
31st st., where she is showing a full line
of prepared natural flowers and decorated
seed pods.

At James Rutig & Co., 43 West 18th
street, we note this week a full line
of seasonable 'Mums, including some of
the first arrivals of the season of the va-
riety Pink Chieftain.

When calling at Kervan Co., 119 W.
28th st., recently we were reminded that
the berry bowl season is now here, as we
saw a large display of these receptacles
in various sizes neatly filled with grow-
iug Partridge Berries. Among these we
noticed a new style bowl, the bottom of
which forms a glass foot, which elevates
it above the table on which it stands,
thus showing it off to better advantage.

The Henshaw Floral Co., 43 West 18th
st., feels that it may rightly claim to be
one of the wholesale cut flower district
headquarters for 'Mums. During last
week the daily receipts of blooms of this
flower were from 4000 to 4500. These
large numbers had no doubt been hurried
into the market because of the warm
weather which prevailed until recently.
Among the varieties noted there McNice,
Tints of Gold, Sunglow, Tousett, Chryso-
lora, Oconto and Polly Rose. These ship-
ments were all from the growing estab-
lishments of MeMahon and Dean at Rum-
son and Little Silver, N. J. This com-
pany is also receiving a great variety of
Pompon and Single 'Mums, including early
arrivals of the beautiful pink varietv,
Mrs. Buckingham.

Sprays of Physalis Franchetti, com-
monly called Chinese Lantern Plant, were
probably never so popular with the retail
florist trade as this year. The demand

of town, experienced by the wholesale
florists of this city who make a specialty
of handling them, is very large. Some of
the best grown and finest sprays we have
ever seen anywhere were noted recently
at Henry N. Robinson Co., 430 6th ave.,
and 55 West 26th st.

Specialists in psychology without doubt
could determine the effect on the mind of
a customer walking on a harsh floor or
treading on something that was kind to
the feet and soothing to the nerves. So
that an ideal floor covering for a retail
store may be regarded as quite a find. We
know that we recognized a feeling of foot
comfort as we walked through the flower
shop of A. T. Bunyard, 413 Madison ave.,
last week, and, on inquiry, Mr. Bunyard

told us that his floor was covered by
Tread-Lite, a linoleum composition, laid
in separate pieces as with tiling. It seems
to us that the manufacturers of Tread-
Lite should lose no time in introducing
their floor covering to the keepers of re-
tail flower shops.

The Norwegian Nitrogen Products Co.,
Inc., announces that it has severed its
connection with Garrigues, Inc., of 40

City, from which addresu it will handle
the sales of its nitrate of lime, nitrate

The Market

Oct. 24. — The wholesale cut flower
market has at last settled down to about
as near a normal basis as it ever assumes,
there is clear sailing tor the greenhouse
men for months to come. The early part
of the past week there was a decided
stringency owing to the fact that the
greenhouse grown stock was not - in- suffi-
cient supply to balance the falling off of
the large supply of Asters and Gladioli
from outdoors. A few bright days the
end of the past week changed these condi-
tions until now there is an abundance of
everything. The fact is, the supply has
increased in larger proportion than the
demand. At the opening of the market
Monday, the wholesalers could handle
more orders than were coming to them,
j. he, season for flower buying is so well
advanced that these conditions cannot
last long and the spirit of the wholesalers
is buoyant with expectancy for immedi-
ately increased trade.

There are plenty of Roses in a wide
range of varieties and the quality of the
stock is excellent. There is more of the
long and medium grade stock than there
is of the short; the latter is always in
greater demand. There is such a large
variety of such varying quality, that
prices must of necessity be of wide range.
From $2 to $25 per 100 is a wide limit,
but stock is moving at these prices and
ali other prices between, daily at the
present time.

The supply of Carnations is on the in-
crease, but so far, has not assumed much
piominence on the market. There is
enough but no more. Every day will see
an increase in the supply and the quality
is keeping pace' with the supply. From
$2 to $4 per 100 is present range of
prices.

Chrysanthemums have once again be-
come the dominant feature of the mar-
ket; there are plenty for everybody. The
local crops are all in and in another week
the high mark of the season's supply may
be reached. The local growers will have
matters their own way for some time,
to the discomfiture of the California grow-
ers. A large shipment of this stock was
refused the past week as it cannot be
handled at a profit when it comes into
competition with the locally grown stock.
Prices range from $2 to ?5 per doz. on all
local stock, but the real fancy ones have
not come in as yet. In white, Oconto is
a leader and in yellow, Richmond is the
best seller. There are a good many Pom-
pons and like last year, the disbudded
ones are in much favor. These are re-
markably beautiful and are to be had
in w;hite, pink and yellow.

Apart from Roses, Chrysanthemums and
Carnations there is little of anything else
offered. There are, to be sure, some few
Lilies, Valley and orchids, but nothing
more of consequence. Globe Amaranth
(Gomphrena globosa) is a leader in mis-
cellaneous stock; it is offered as "Ever-
lasting Clover;" its well known lasting

qualities are favorable to its ready sales.

Some of the houses are featuring the
Chinese Lantern plant, Physalis Fran-
chetti; this is admirable for Hallowe'en
decorations. Some of the houses offer an
assortment of ornamental Gourds for this
occasion. There is plenty of everything
in greens. The first of the Galax crops
are coming in, all of which so far are
green; the bronze comes later in the sea-
son.
News Notes

C. J. Olson, of Holm & Olson, St.
Paul, is in the city on a buying trip
and incidentally boosting for the St. Paul
Flower Show. He is being shown the
various greenhouse establishments by
Paul Klingsporn.

J. Fred Wustenhoff of the Poehlmann
Bros. Co., came in Monday, from a suc-
cessful trip through Michigan. He ac-
complished two notable transactions on
his arrival. One was the taking out of
his final papers of American citizenship;
at the same time he renewed his subscrip-
tion to The Florists Exchange.

H. B. Kennicott and wife have left to
spend several months in Florida. They
will motor all the way down resting for
a day or so at some of the large cities.

Matt Schulz and R. E. Blackshaw of
the Ove Gnatt Co., are in the city for a
few days, resting up before the final pre-
holiday trip which will include all the
Chrysanthemum shows and State meetings
scheduled for the next few weeks.

Arrangements are all complete for the
big meeting at Maywood, Nov. 2. Large
posters announcing same as well as in-
viting the trade at large, are displayed
at all the wholesale houses. With favor-
able weather, for which all are devoutly
praying, it will be a great gathering.

Phil Schupp, of the J. A. Budlong
Co., was operated on for appendicitis the
past week in the Ravenswood Hospital.
His many friends will be glad to know
that the operation was successful, and
that he will soon be able to return to
his accustomed place of business.

Henry Schimmels, for a long time con-
nected with the wholesale and retail cut
flower trade of Milwaukee, Wis., has
taken a position in the cut flower depart-
ment of the Poehlmann Bros. Co. start-
ing in the new quarters on Monday, the .
opening day.

The Gould Bros. (R. J. and B. E.) '
have built up a substantial trade in pot
plants at their greenhouses at Glenview
and will be on hand with a good supply
for holiday trade. They formerly started
in the nursery business which they still
continue as a side line. They are en-
thusiastic supporters of the Commercial
Flower Growers Association and rarely
miss a meeting.

Henry Wehrmann, of Maywood, _ is
sending in some good early flowering,
Chrysanthemums to the wholesale mar-
ket. He follows 'Mums with Sweet Peas
and is, bv the way, one of the oldest
growers of Sweet Peas for the Chicago
market. The first Winter flowering va-
rieties that came to this market came
from the Wehrmann greenhouses.

Dr. B. W. Murphy, secretary of Stuppy
Floral Co.. St. Joseph, Mo., was a visitor

The Market

Oct. 24. — The killing frost of a week
ago cut off whatever outdoor flowers man-
aged to escape the less severe freezes be-
fore, and nothing but greenhouse grown
stock reaches the markets now. Business
is quite satisfactory in volume, and prices
have held steady for the most part, al-
though Chrysanthemums are now arriving
in greater numbers.

Roses have suffered a slight set back
within the last two days, and prices have
receded a cent or two on all grades, mak-
ing it a six, eight and ten market. There
is a good supply of all varieties, but a
decided shortage of fancies and specials.
The demand for Roses is not as lively as
it was a week ago, as might well be ex-
pected when the better sorts, of Chrysan-
themums make their appearance. The
quality of Roses is rapidly nearing per-
fection. The supply of Hadleys is rather
more than can easily be absorbed, es-
pecially of the short lengths. Crusader
is in great demand and realizes top prices.
Some good Scott Key are also to oe seen.

Chrysanthemums are taking the front
seat in the market at last. For some
reason the early varieties have been much
less in evidence this season than usual,
and it is only within the last few days
that anything like a display is to be seen.
This includes several of the large flowered,

single and Pompon varieties. Bucking-
ham and other singles are bringing good
prices, but of the large flowered white
sorts the same cannot be said, too many
of them being offered.

Carnations are still good property, sell-
ing out clean every day, and bringing up
to 5c. for good ordinary sorts. The best
Laddie, Maine Sunshine, Surprise and
other fancy sorts are held at 8c, and make
it. Many of the shipments consist of
blooms of high quality.

Callas have made their appearance,
selling on sight for $2.50 to $3 per doz.
There are not many as yet. Bouvardia
Humboldtii and some very handsome
Nerines are offered, together with occa-
sional lots of longiflorum Lilies, the latter
selling for 16c. to 20c.

Mignonette and Antirrhinum, also
Bachelor Buttons, white Daisies and
Calendulas are not plentiful and bring
fair prices. Delphiniums are about done
for; a few bunches are all that can be
seen.

Orchids arrive in good supply and find
a fair to good demand. Lily of the Valley
is easier at 6c. to 8e. Violets are scarce,
selling for as much as l%c. Sweet Peas,
too, are short of demand and they bring
up to 3c. for good blooms.

Fall Exhibition

The Autumn exhibition of plants,
flowers and fruits of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society will be held in Hor-
ticultural Hall on Saturday and Sunday,
Nov. 4 and 5. This is always one of the
most important and most interesting ex-
hibitions of the year and offers a wide
field for competition to growers of Chrys-
anthemums, Roses, Carnations, orchids,
Begonias and other plants and flowers.
The premiums set apart for the different
classes are numerous and liberal, includ-
ing, among others, the following:

Group of flowering plants, not less than
200 sq. ft., two prizes, $50 and $25.

Orchids — Fifty sq. ft., not less than
10 genera, two prizes, $40 and $20.

Begonias — Winter flowering, 12 plants,
two prizes, $25 and $12.

themum plants, covering not less than
200 sq. ft, two prizes, $50 and $25.

Three specimen plants, two prizes, $25
and $12.

A spell of sharp, snappy weather last
week brought frost three nights in suc-
cession. The doom of the Dahlia was
sealed, and the market is thriving after
the operation. Chrysanthemums are com-
ing in plentifully and quality stock is
available in nearly all varieties. Prices
rule fairly high, with extra stock at $4,
and leftovers and shorts as low as 50c. a
doz. Some Pompons were arriving at the
time of writing (Oct. 23.)

Roses are a little tight generally, al-
though some few growers are shipping
steadily. The shortage is probably an
attempt to avoid a Chrysanthemum mar-
ket. There are plenty of Carnations and
the market for them is vastly improved
with the passing of the Dahlia. Even
short stock finds a sale — although prices
are not high on this class of bloom.

Peas in the present weather make good
stock and can be safely shipped at mod-
erate distances. Snapdragon is coming
in and shows fine quality.

Cosmos and Delphinium are on the
downward path — although quality in Del-
phinium is still obtainable here and there.

Various Notes

Recent visitors in the city who
"registered" at Michell's were Mrs. J.
W. Black, Kingston, N. C; and Wm.
Rehder, Wilmington, N. C.

President Edward Reid of the Phila-
delphia Florists Club returned Oct. 21
from a holiday spent on his ranch in the
Dakotas, thoroughly rested and ready for
business.

A tour of the wholesale houses located
some good Valley at Jack Deutscher's;
some nice Callas at Wm. J. Baker's; and
at Reid's some fine large Chrysolora
Chrysanthemums, as well as some fine
Premier and Columbia Roses, Oct. 23.

At the Philadelphia Wholesale Florists'
Exchange last week there arrived a small
snake, supposed to be a rattler, in a box
of Southern Plumosa. — And when the box
was opened, the birds began to sing. — ''They
don't grow them so large since prohibi-
tion."

We still hear rumors about Bob Bragg s
wrist watch. Something to the effect of
"having a lot of time on his hands."

The Florists Exchange

■ Godfrey Asehmann reports local busi-
ness with the retailers as picking' up
lately. The firm is busy getting outside
stuff under glass and generally preparing
for Winter business.

The Robert Craig Co. reports shipping
business as fairly good, but the local
trade is not yet in full swing.

Retailers

Mrs. Farr, 1-110 Susquehanna
aye., had some nice orders Oct. 21 in
connection with the Golden Jubilee for
Rev. Father G. P. Coghlan.

Pennock Bros, were busy preparing a
Hallowe'en window on Oct. 24. Pump-
kins stuffed with moss and filled with
blooms were the features, with golden
brown shades worked in wherever pos-
sible. Pompon and large flowering
Chrysanthemums in the desired colors
were, of course, available. Paper figures
of black cats and flying witches gave the
final touch to the scene.

The London Flower Shop's Hallowe'en
window included a unique feature in the
form of several gayly dressed Harele-
quins, imported from England. These
dolls can be adjusted to any desired
posture and are quite effective. The new
arrangements in the interior of this store
are noticeably for the better.

All the retailers visited reported an
increase in business last week — brought
on by cold weather and good stock.

that these nitrogen products are all of
great importance to the horticultural and
agricultural trades.

A. F. T. A. Activities

The A. F: T. A. publicity adver-
tising is now in full swing. The Associa-
tion is using for this purpose eight of the
leading New York and Brooklyn daily
papers. Every Thursday, in the New
York evening press in the special feature
column, entitled "Of Timely Interest to
Men," something will be said about flow-
ers. This plan is on a separate contract
from the advertising campaign in the
dailies and is to run for sis months.

Saturday, Nov. 11, will be Armistice
Day, and probably will be widely and
elaborately observed throughout this city
in the usual way.

At Slinn Co., Inc., 55 to 57 W. 26th
St., the well known Violet specialists, we
noted recently some of the finest special
grade Premier Roses which we have seen
in the cut flower market this season. With
these we observed blooms of Columbia
and Butterfly, also of excellent quality.

Florists Club's Dinner of ex-Presidents

The past presidents of the New
York Florists Club had their semi-annual
dinner on Tuesday night, Oct. 24, at Billy
the Oysterman's, on 20th st., near Broad-
way. After the dinner, they went to the
Winter Garden. We have thus far been
unable to obtain the names of those at-
tending, but we understand there was a
full attendance and a mighty good time.

Boston — Continued from page 1 1 72

The firm has only lately renewed the
lease of the store so can well afford to
go ahead with modern improvements. The
new ice machine will be of big capacity
for Mr. Gorney believes in having on hand
an abundant stock of flowers at all times.
Just at present he has got the Chrysan-
themum and Rose fever judging by the
looks of the store and premises. Chrys-
anthemums and Roses in endless variety
can be seen on every side and they sell
as never before; maybe because customers
are sure to find just what they are look-
ing for. Mr. Gorney has a notion that
variety is one of the spices of life and
in the display of varieties of Roses and
Chrysanthemums he has practiced what
he believes. The public apparently ap-
preciates the fact.

Wax Bros, on Temple place are proud
of their new delivery car and rightfully
so. It is a Dodge, said to be one of the
best cars turned out by the Dodge Broth-
ers during the last month. It certainly
is a beauty with its Harding blue and
gold finish. The newly completed en-
largement of the show windows adds great
improvement to the store and the firm
is taking good care to fill the windows
with attractive or novel displays.

A Visit to Nahant

At Thomas Roland's greenhouse at
Nahant, interesting features are not lack-
ing at any time of the year. Just now
there are a number of crops nearing the
finishing off stage in preparation for the
coming great holidays. Among these, Cy-
clamens, .Oranges and; Begonias are the
most important. Of Cyclamens, nearly
one acre under one roof in ridge and fur-
row houses are to be seen and they are
one grand sight. To behold this great ex-
panse of: Cyclamen at one glance is a
pleasure, not only because there are so
many, but because plants of such perfec-
tion are not often seen. They are graded
down from 9in. size to 5in. pots and show
a fine assortment of the most desirable
colors. The Oranges are about as per-
fect as one could desire. Full of fine
fruit and dark, glossy foliage. Several
houses are filled with Begonias, mostly
Melior, Cincinnati and Peterson, and all
in the finest condition. Of Ericas there
are great blocks of Cupressina, persoluta
rosea and alba, melanthera' and others.
They comprise all sizes, from the smallest
to the largest and they are in perfect
health and vigor. A collection, probably
the largest in America, of Nerines is very
interesting. It contains over 50 varieties
and Mr. Roland derives a good deal of
pleasure out of developing new types; a
hobby which he has indulged in for over
30 years. This collection of Nerines,
probably, has no rival. Hydrangeas, in
all varieties, are coming along and so are
Bougainvilleas, Christmas Cherries, and a
lot of other plants, like Genistas, Dra-
caenas, Ficus, etc. A former shed has been
changed into a greenhouse where now is
kept a collection of Cattleyas. About 30
varieties of Dendrobiums, many varieties
of Odontoglossums and over 80 varieties
of Cypripediums are also grown.

The world famous Acacias, which fill
one large house, promise shortly to de-
velop into a wonderful spectacle when
the feathery sprays are bursting into
bloom. Mr. Roland thinks the plants
never looked better, probably on account
of the suitable growing season.

Chicago — Continued from page 1 1 70

the past week, coming here for the Up-
town Exhibition where he exhibited the
firm's new Rose, Annie Laurie. He was
entertained on Friday by Paul Weiss,
of the Weiss-Meyer greenhouses and
M. C. Wright, of the Lord & Burnham
Co. All the Maywood greenhouses were
visited. Dr. Murphy proposes to add an-
other large greenhouse to the already ex-
tensive Stuppy range and is getting fig-
ures and specifications on same from Chi-
cago greenhouse architects.

Peter Pearson, in his opening remarks
the other evening at the Commercial
Flower Growers meeting, said that when
such people and the electric and ele-
vated railroads of the city, spend thou-
sands of dollars in advertising their sys-
tem of railroads how much more does it
behoove the florists to advertise. The
milk and dairy people put up handsome
exhibits to extoll the virtues of their
products already used in every home.
The coal people advertise, although coal
is an article we could not very well get
along without. Ward's Bread had a fine
exhibit, yet everyone uses bread in one
form or another. When corporations and
individuals who sell the staple articles
of life spend thousands of dollars annu-
ally in advertising the same, how much
more should florists spend in advertising
their products!

The new Lord & Burnham house of
the Weiss-Meyer Co. contains 15,000
Premier Rose plants that will be in
splendid crop for the holidays, having

been pinched and timed for this occasion.
The plants will average from eight to
ten blooms to a plant. To stand on an
elevated platform in the middle of this
house and look all around at the masses
of uniform growth so full of promise is
a wonderful sight. At the Premier Rose
Gardens the plants are more advanced :
there are some houses that will be right
for inspection on the "big day," Nov. 2.
To appreciate the extent of these houses
one has to get in an elevated position
well above the benches where a view of
the entire surroundings can be had.
Some one has said that the three pret-
tiest things in the world were, "A beau-
tiful woman, a full rigged ship, and a
field of waving grain." Whoever said
this could have never seen a field of
waving Rosebuds, as can be seen at the
Premier Rose Gardens or at the Weiss-
Meyer Co. Wait until you see them
Nov. 2.

The Poehlmann Bros. Co. held a for-
mal opening in its new home, 163-165
North Wabash ave., Monday, Oct 23.
In this connection the company mailed
a handsome brochure to the trade and
friends in general entitled, "Seeing
through the Clouds." It is illustrated
with views of plants A, B, and C at
Morton Grove as well as the Wabash
ave. building now occupied as, salesrooms
and offices. The company lias, indeed,
been "Seeing through the Clouds." Look-
ing beyond present day needs is the
greatest element in building an institu-
tion for service to others. This great
plant and its personnel devoted to the
growing and distribution of beautiful
flowers and plants can trace its steady
growth to its foresight in preparing to
fulfill the needs and wishes of its valued
customers.

Commercial Flower Growers of Chicago

The Commercial Flower Growers
of Chicago held a notable meeting-
Thursday evening, Oct. 19, at the Sover-
eign Hotel on N. Kenmore ave. Before
the meeting a special course dinner was
served to the members and their friends.
Immediately after the dinner President
Pearson called the business meeting to-
gether in an adjoining room. There was
a good attendance including several
ladies.

This hotel was chosen because it is in
close proximity to the Uptown Chicago
Exposition which possessed much inter-
est for the growers who had contributed
freely to its success by sending numer-
ous and attractive exhibits. The officers
of the exhibition were present at the din-
ner and at the opening of the meeting
when President Pearson called on them
for some remarks anent the wonderful
exhibition there was in progress in the
armory near by.

President Lorin Miller welcomed the
flower growers and thanked them heart-
ily for the part they had taken in making
the exhibition the success it is.- Carl
Roth, publicity manager of the exhibition,
who is also, by the way, publisher of the
Uptown Chicago Times, told of the suc-
cess of the exhibition, and how much
they were indebted to the florists for the
part they had taken in making it so.
He told of the publicity achieved through
all the leading papers of the city and
spoke of the benefits of advertising.
"One drop of ink makes millions think"
was a theme he expatiated on in this
connection. Other members of the busi-
ness organization of the exhibition also
addressed the meeting.

Herman Schiller, who spoke from the
viewpoint of a florist, told of what the
business men's association (that put the
show over) was doing for the better-
ment of all business on the north side
of the city. During the Pageant of

Progress Exposition the Uptown Asso-
ciation distributed 20,000 Gladioli blooms
that it had bought and paid for to visi-
tors on Uptown Chicago day. He told
of the great increase in business the
florists felt after the last exposition,
especially those who exhibited at the
show. Mr. Schiller said that in the very
near future — if not next year, then a
year later at the most — there would be
an exclusive flower show in the armory.
The florists were in favor of it and the
Uptown Business Men's Association
heartily endorsed it and promised it their
moral and financial support. It is time
that Chicago had a good flower show of
its own and the Uptown Association has
decided to lead the way.

Earl Mann, of the E. G. Hill Co., Rich-
mond, Ind., also addressed the meeting,
speaking on the three new Roses he had
on exhibition in the armory, namely
America. Amelia Gude, and Claudius
Pernet. He regretted E. G. Hill, him-
self, could not be present as promised.

Dr. B. W. Murphy, of the Stuppy
Floral Co., St Joseph, Mo., was present
and spoke of the new Rose Annie Laurie,
. which his firm had on exhibition at the
show. He said they had been growing
it for five years and thought it had
merit. He thanked the growers for the
hospitality accorded him and hoped to be
with them on all such future occasions.

This brought the meeting to the time
for the transaction of such ordinary busi-
ness as might come before it. At this
point R. J. Windier arose and said that
unless there was some important business
to be transacted, he was in favor of ad-
journing until the next meeting. This
met with the approval of all the members
who forthwith went in a body to the
exhibition hall, President Pearson lead-
ing the way.

Uptown Chicago Exposition

The Uptown Chicago Exposition,
which closed Saturday night, was a de-
cided success from start to finish. Inas-
far as the florist portion of the exposi-
tion was concerned there was an excel-
lent showing. North side florists who
take part in this exhibition each year
are its strong supporters, as each year
they add new customers to their lists,
and the advertising it gives them brings
results that could not be obtained in any
other way. So successful have been the
florists' exhibits in contributing to the
merits of the show that plans are al-
ready being laid for an exclusive flower
show in the not very distant future. The
Uptown florists want it and the Up
town . Business Men's Association has
promised its financial support. The arm-
ory is amply large and with all condi-
tions favorable, the florists throughout
the country will hear before long of what
Uptown Chicago is preparing for them.

Among the principal exhibitors last
week was the Poehlmann Bros. Co. with
a handsome group of decorative plants
and a large exhibit of cut Roses many
of which figured in the prize winning ex-
hibits.

The E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind.,
had on exhibition its three new Roses,
America, Amelia Gude, and Claudius
Pernet.

Frank Oechslin exhibited a handsome
group of plants consisting of Cibotiums,
Araucarias, Polypodium ferns, Solanums,
Dracaenas, Kentias and Pandanus Veit-
chii.

Henderson's Seed Store had a hand-
some display of all seasonable bulbs, the
booth being trimmed with lithographs in
color showing the various varieties of
Hyacinths and Tulips offered. Catalogs
were distributed, names taken for the
mailing list and orders for immediate and
future delivery booked.

Clody's Flower Shop had an attrac-
tive exhibit in the way of a handsomely
"decorated booth with a background of
prepared Autumn foliage in which were
displayed handsome vases of large Chrys-
anthemums and madeup baskets of
plants.

The Geo. Wittbold Co. bad a booth of
decorative plants for which the company
is noted. These were arranged as a back-
ground for a grotto and pool with gold
fish and equatic plants, all trimmed with
Autumn foliage.

The Schiller exhibit was a stunning
combination of simplicity and elegance.
In the large space occupied was depicted
a section of a conservatory through

Setting the Pace in Ashtabula

Wm. C. Gallup of Ashtabula bought six narrow-span houses
of us last summer. He wrote: "Roger Griswold, the largest
owner of Greenhouses in Ashtabula says, 'Your material
will make the greenhouse men here buy their future material
outside of Ashtabula.' Jay Adams, another larger grower'
says he 'hasn't seen such fine material in a good many years.,
Archie Tickner of Tickner & Rennick Co. says, 'nothing but
cypress for~ him in the future.' I am building my houses
myself with absolutely no experience and in the three I have
erected not one sash-bar was longer than the rest."

Such appreciation pays. Since then we have booked orders
for Spring Delivery from the following Ashtabula growers:

which could be seen the best there is in
flowering and decorative plants. In the
large space enclosed there were a few
choice baskets and special daily features
in flowers were displayed. There was
none of that overcrowding that so oftens
ruins the effect of such exhibits.

A. N. Pierson. Inc.. Cromwell, Conn.,
exhibited a vase of its new Rose Com-
monwealth. The flowers came on Mon-
day and held up wonderfully well show-
ing fullness and keeping qualities until
well past the middle of the week.

The Stuppy Floral Co., St. Joseph,
Mo., exhbiited a vase of its new pink
Rose Annie Laurie which is a pink sport
of Ophelia with a gold base extending
a third of the way down the petals. This
has been grown by the late Frank X.
Stuppy for the past five years and will
be disseminated in the Spring of 1923.

Elmer D. Smith, Adrian, Mich., ex-
hibited many novelties in early flower-
ing Chrysanthemums including Singles
and Pompons.

V. Bezdek, Gross Point, 111., showed
some vases of well-grown Carnations, va-
riety Maine Sunshine.

Stollery Bros, had a unique exhibit
in the form of a basket of flowers set
in a large picture frame with dark vel-
vet background. A concealed light in
front shone directly on the basket and
frame. It looked more like a picture
than a basket so artistically was it ar-
ranged.

The Birchwood Florists, A. L. Zender.
prop., showed a very pretty landscape
effect. There was a real grass lawn,
curved walks, a fountain in operation
and handsome specimens of Boxwood in
tubs. The background was in the form
of a rustic mound about which some nice
specimens of conifers in tubs were
placed. The tubs were covered with
green sheet moss through which plants
of Primula obconica were growing.

The florists' section of the exhibition
was under the direction of Peter Pearson
and considering market conditions and
the fact that it is rather early for Chrys-
anthemums, there was a fine showing.
The following first prize awards were
made on the opening day of the show :

100 Columbia Roses — Poehlmann
Bros. Co.

50 Premier Roses — Poehlmann Bros.
Co.

100 Premier Roses — A. F. Amling Co.

from Dramm Bros. ; and a vase of a
sport of Columbia from Stielow Bros.
Poehlmann Bros, showed a vase of their
new Rose, Phantom.

In Carnations M. Wiltgen showed sev-
eral vases of seedlings.

There were moving pictures taken of
the exhibition including the flower ex-
hibits.

The judges were R. C. Schiele, Wm.

Seeing Through the Clouds

Poehlmann Bros. Co., Chicago, are dis-
tributing among their friends and cus-
tomers a charming souvenir, bearing the
above title. The size is 10*£in.x8%in.,
the cover being stiff, grained paper,
printed in blue with gold lettering. The
covers protect four pages of high class
paper, on the first of which appears a
brief note signed by August Poehlmann.
"Seeing through the clouds — looking be-
yond present-day needs is the greatest
element in building an institution for
service to others. This great plant and
its personnel, devoted to the growing and
distributing of beautiful flowers and
plants, traces its steady growth to its
foresight in preparing to fulfill the needs
and wishes of its valued customers. We
have seen through the clouds."

Such is the mesage from the Poehlmann
Bros. Co. The two inner pages show air-
plane views of Plants A, B and C, at
Morton Grove, 111., a total of over 2,000,-
000 sq. ft. of glass. The last page shows
Poehlmann Bros.' new store on North
Wabash ave., Chicago.

Tarrytown (N. Y.) Hort. Society

This society held a very interesting
meeting in its rooms on Oct. 18. Splendid
exhibits of fruit and flowers were staged.
Tlios. Wilson showed two fine vases of
Chrysolora and Oconto 'Mums; these were
flowered in the open ground on single
stems with as fine foliage and flowers as
are often produced under glass. Special
notice was taken of this fact. The same
exhibitor had several vases of Dahlias, his
collection of 18 varieties scoring high.

Thos. Lee secured first prize for twelve
varieties of Dahlias, the society's prize
for the evening. His flowers were ex-
ceptionally line. There was keen compe-
tition in this class; Alex Anderson gained
second prize.

In the outdoor grown Pompon 'Mum
class, a good showing was made. Mrs.
Graham gained first, with Ed. Kane a
close second.

Thos. Lee and Wm. Jamieson showed
some very fine Apples, both getting first
place in the different classes.

A report of the Dahlia show which was
held last month for the benefit of the
Tarrytown Hospital showed it was a
financial success and the society will turn
over to the hospital over $450. Great
credit is due our president and secretary
for the efforts they put forth to make
this first Dahlia show the success it
was.

Geo. Chisholm, too deserves credit for
the able manner in which he acted as auc-
tioneer and for getting such large re-
turns for all flowers, fruits and vege-
tables at the close of the show. George
held the crowd and kept them scrambling
as well as making them part with their
gold.

All arrangements are complete for the
Chrysanthemum show which is to be held
in Music Hall, Tarrytown, on Nov. 1, 2
and 3. The schedule is a good one and
from observations, the show in Tarrytown
is going to be larger than ever. Make
reservations. Wm. Graham.

Blue Orchids

What are now known as Gatton Blue
Cattleyas, blue forms of Lfelia pumila
and some other orchids developed at Gat-
ton Park, are familiar to orchidists, es-
pecially to those who have seen a group
with flowers all of the blue tint best
shown in Vanda ccerulea, exhibited on
several occasions from Gatton Park at the
Royal Horticultural Hall. Blue-tinted
forms of Cattleya Bowringiana, C. Portia,
C. labiata, C. Trianae, C. Gaskelliana,
and of Laslia Dayana, and some crosses
With them have been raised at Gatton
Park and the latter have generally car-
ried on the blue color.

But that the hybridist does not always
get what he aims at is shown in a flower
now received, produced by crossing Cat-
tleya Alcimeda ccerulea, (labiata ccerulea X
Gaskelliana ccerulescens) and a blue-
tinted form of Laelia Dayana, and which
has reverted to the normal rose and red-
dish purple tints of its ancestors. The
flower, of medium or small size for a
Lajlio-Cattleya, has rose sepals and
petals and a reddish purple lip crimped
at the edge; the base, which is colored yel-
low, show's some construction, acquired
from the tubular lip of L. Dayana, but in
the dried flower, however, a decided blue
tint appears. Blue-tinted Laelio-Cattleyas
are rare; the only two we can call to
mind are L. C. Parysatis ccerulea (C.
Bowringiana lilacina X L. pumila Gatton
Blue), and L.-C. Portia-pumila (C. Portia
ccerulea X L. pumila, blue form) . —

Wilson's 0. K. Plant Spray

Kills Plant Insects, Scale and Mildew

A Powerful Yet Harmless and Efficient Insecticide Which Has
Stood the Test of Time

FOR GREENHOUSE USE

Roses and Carnations should be sprayed every two weeks with
Wilson's O. K.. Plant Spray to keep them free from aphis, red
spider and mildew. Such prominent growers as J. T. Everitt, at
Glen Cove, L. I., and David Miller, Tuxedo Park, N. Y., use
Wilson's O. K. Plant Spray very extensively for a greenhouse
spray. Wilson's O. K. Plant Spray is used by most of the leading
growers in the country for inside and outside spraying.

(THE SUPERIOR NICOTINE DUST)

Highly efficient in the control of all aphis, green fly, white fly, mealy bug, thrips,
midge, red spider, ants, caterpillars, and many other soft bodied insects.

AXFIXO is not a tobacco dust — it is a nicotine dust which gives off nicotine gas
when exposed to the air. This gas envelops the entire plant insuring death to all
nsects. It will not injure the most delicate foliage.

Excellent for either indoor or outdoor work. Packed in 5-, 50-, 100-lb. containers.

A Castle in the Air That Came to
Earth

An interesting and not unromantie story
of the reward of effort and determina-
tion is told in a clipping from the Lon-
don Daily Chronicle of Oct. 4, which, has
been sent us by H. N. Easmussen of
Bloornfield, jST. J. This clipping tells of
the purchase for 850,000 kroner (about
$200,000) of an ancient Danish castle sur-
rounded by 2160 acres of farm land, by
H. O. Larsen, a well known market gar-
dener of the Waltham Cross district of
England.

"The purchase of this estate," says the
news item, "close to his place of birth
represents the achievement of a life-long
ambition. More than 30 years ago, Mr.
Larsen as a young man emigrated to Eng-
land, and after studying for a short time
at Kew Gardens, worked on a market
garden at Petersham, later embarking in
the business on his own account. At first
he operated only 1% acres: at present
his establishment includes 26 acres under
glass."

His financial progress has apparently
been no less remarkable, although through-
out the entire time he has lived quietly
and unassumingly in the original small
farm house in which he started to make
his fortune. He has, however, taken a
generous part in the civic affairs of his
locality, being a justice of the peace and
holding various other offices in addition
to being president of the Lea Valley
Growers Association and a member of
the Horticultural Advisory Committee
of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Our correspondent remarks that Mr.
Larsen, who grows exclusively Tomatoes,
Cucumbers and Peaches, is one of a good
many young Danish gardeners who, jour-

neying to England primarily for an edu-

says Mr. Kasmussen, "have the brains,

in them." A fruitful combination, that,

Bring Your Greenhouse Troubles To Us

If you have one or more houses,
you remember when you were
selecting your first what a merry
time you had in getting just what
you wanted at the price you
wanted to pay.

One grower said "Don't build
your greenhouse unless you have
such and such." Another said:
"I wouldn't build it unless it was
so and so." Advice flying around
on all sides until you didn't know
where you were.

Every grower has certain con-
ditions a greenhouse must satisfy
to meet his special needs — it may
be minor detail or it may be the

meeting of certain municipal build-
ing requirements. ' Whatever it
is or whatever your whims and
fancies may be, King Greenhouses,
standardized up to a certain point,
will meet those requirements.

Extra manufacturing charges are
eliminated — the house is of proven
design and construction, yet it
meets your special needs.

More than that, you get that
King Quality. Ask the users of
King greenhouses about it.

Let us know what you have in
mind and we'll be glad to look
after your greenhouse troubles.

When you think of good greenhouses, think of "KING'

The Market

Jack Frost hit hard during the

§ast week, and the exodus of the outdoor
owers is about complete. There remain
Chrysanthemums and Calendulas, but
little of anything else of consequence.

The market generally is tight, and there
are many disappointed buyers. Hoses
are now the leading flower, and the prices
have reacted upward. Excellent Colum-
bias, Premier and Legion are arriving,
and are picked up eagerly by the buyers.
Ophelia, Butterfly, Sunburst and Kil-
larney are also good, but not in such
demand as the big three.

Carnations are improving, and longer
stems are in evidence. '"Mums are a bit
disappointing and there is no great variety
as yet. A few more Gold have appeared.
These seem to be the best yet offered.
Pompons from under glass have not ar-
rived in any quantity, but considerable
second rate outdoor stock arrives in con-
stantly increasing shipments.

Some especially good Easter Lilies are
noted, and there is quite a demand for
them. Valley remains scarce, but what
there is is very fine. Orchids are more
plentiful, and Violets are improving with
the cooler weather.

The plant market has been augmented
by Chrysanthemums and Begonias. The
Cyclamen, Primroses and Cherries show
more vitality. There are quantities of
Nephrolepis, and the price has broken
to a lower level. Charles Imbkie Kent.

Kansas City, Mo.

The Kansas City Florists Club has got-
ten under way for its new year with Wil-
liam J. Barnes at the helm. The first
meeting was held Wednesday evening, Oct.
18, with a small attendance, but a dis-
play of real interest by those present.

Mr. Barnes appointed committees need-
ed for the regular work of the club, as
follows :

Entertainment — E. J. Barnes, chair-
man; Bob Fields, Earl Parker.

Membership — M. E. Carter, chairman;
E. T. Lacey, Miss Lou Boggess.

Publicity (which has charge of de-
tails connected with both national and
local funds) — Miss Mary Hayden, chair-
man (again) ; William L. Rock, Mrs. T.
A. Moseley, C. A. Chandler, E A. Hum-
feld, T. J. Noll, L. R. Bohannon.

Florists report much better business the
past week, in which they are in line with
merchants and business men generally.
Distinct improvement in conditions has
occurred in this district during October,
volume of trade reaching the degree it
should have attained in September. A
more optimistic spirit pervades the at-
mosphere, and people are talking good
times. Traveling men come in off the
road with reports of gratifying numbers
of orders. But collections are still slow,
and money tight in this territory.

Store sales by retail florists were ex-
ceptionally good the past week, in cut
flowers, bulbs and merchandise. Several
florists are beginning to put merchandise
forward somewhat more conspicuously, as
a sign of the approach of the holiday sea-
son. The display of the Muehlebach Flow-
er Shop in this connection is es-
pecially notable. The William L. Rock
Flower Shop had a "merchandising" win-
dow the past week which drew a large
volume of counter business. One of the
items offered was Narcissus boxes at 50c,
another was boxes of polychrome art flow-
ers at $2.75.

Several retailers offered specials of
Roses at a dollar a dozen during the past
few days. One store varied this program
by displaying boxes of Roses at the same
price.

Bryson Ayres, a wholesale grower, took
over last week, for a flower show of his
own, several large rooms of a recently
built "smart shop" block, at Tenth and
McGee sts. He offered a large number
of varieties of blooms at bargain prices.

B. S. B.

A note hurriedly written by C. H. May-
nard, apprising us of the narrow escape
from death of Mrs. Maynard through ac-
cidentally inhaling escaping gas, appeared
in our Oct. 21 issue. From further par-
ticulars since received, Mrs. Maynard hav-
ing regained consciousness, it appears that
she sat in an easy chair before a gas
heater, was overcome by the fumes and
fell to the floor, where she was discov-
ered by a caller delivering merchandise
about 4 o'clock on Monday afternoon.

When Mrs. Maynard was discovered un-
conscious, Dr. F. M. Hines was called
and quickly responded. The sufferer was
removed to the front porch, and an exam-
ination disclosed her jaws set and her
body rigid. First aid was hurriedly giv-
en, artificial respiration and restoratives
administered, and after working for half
an hour, Mrs. Maynard was brought back
to consciousness, although remaining in
a serious condition. On the Tuesday she
was much better.

The gas company is reported to have
stated that the odor from the gas which
is now produced by it is deadly, and con-
sequently all consumers had been warned
to supply their gas appurtenances with
vent pipes.

Minneapolis, Minn.

The Great Flower Festival

Twin city florists who are on the
General Flower Show Committee have
been busy during the Summer making
plans for the big show to be staged in
the Minneapolis National Guard Armory,
Nov. 11 to 16. For the last month meet-
ings have been held every week or oftener
getting details in shape.

Dr. Allen, who has had considerable
experience in managing shows of various
sorts in the armory, has been selected
to manage the show. Instead of the or-
dinary method of raising a guarantee fund
for shows of this sort, blocks of tickets
have been purchased at their full value to
be resold or given as complimentary tick-
ets to their customers. Fifteen thousand
of these tickets have been bought at the
present time.

The final premium list was mailed Oct.
23 and totals about $5000. Nearly $1000
of this has been subscribed by members
of the trade in special premiums.

The National Guard Armory is to be
decorated in an ai-tistic manner; some 75
cases of Southern Smilax have been pur-
chased for this purpose. The staging
will be artistically arranged in the form
of gardens. In the annex of the armory
will be staged a number of nursery ex-
hibits. These will take the form of dec-
orated city lots. A sunken garden is to
be made, and an electric fountain, similar
to the one used at the Indianapolis Show

Trade Notes

Oct. 19. — Business for the past. few
weeks has been decidedly normal. Oc-
casionally the pulse of business quickens
a little, and we run a little ahead of
schedule. The weather is still very favor-
able for outdoor flowers, and so long as
this is the case the flower buying public is
still patronizing the backyard or the mar-
ket. The Dahlia is at present in its prime,
but the poor keeping quality of a great
many of the Dahlias does not enhance
their popularity as cut flowers.

Indoor flowers are now masters of the
situation, and daily new varieties of
'Mums make their appearance and make
for a more complete supply of local
'Mums. Some wonderful Mrs. Gibson and
Chrysolora are being shown in the shop
windows. The Pompon type is also with
us in pink, bronze and yellow. As usual,
quality stock finds first sale, unless we
take the $1 per flower quality, when we
see a little reluctance to step so lively
in these normal times.

The Carnation is again welcome and
cleaning up very well; the height of the
'Mum season is still some weeks off. The
first Laddie off new plants are appearing,
and it can be said that it is truly the
queen of all the Carnations. Enchantress
Supreme is still so far ahead of all com-
petitors in her class that there are still
more grown of this variety than all others.
In productive qualities none can touch
her, and if her keeping quality could
only be improved somewhat, no better
Carnation could be asked for.

Roses have settled down to a steady
and somewhat smaller cut than a few
weeks ago; the weather is much more in
favor of good Roses. Valley and Bou-
vardia are plentiful, but orchids are
scarce.

Pot stock is in goodly supply and gain-
ing in popularity daily.

News Notes

The meeting called by the local
Chamber of Commerce, in order to pro-
mote an annual flower show, resulted in
the appointment of J. A. Currey, Wm.
Farenbacher and R. E. Gehr as a com-
mittee to handle the affair. It is not to
be on a large scale, but a table 4ft.xl0ft.
will be provided each exhibitor, and there
will be three table decorations made each
day by nine local florists in the name of
the Oregon Florists Club, as an educa-
tional feature. The show will take place
some time early in November.

One of the largest weddings of recent
date took place on Oct. 12. It was a
double wedding and there was more floral
display made than for many years past.
Holden's Flower Shop had the decorations
at the synagogue. Large standards, some
6ft. high, each filled with a large bunch
of yellow 'Mums, lined the aisle. The
front of the rostrum was finished in deep
yellow Zinnias. Large baskets of Mums,
and wall pockets, all in yellow 'Mums,
covered the altar and the organ. Quan-
tities of Autumn leaves were used for wall
and pillar decoration. Much credit is
due Julius Schnapp for this very artistic
decoration. Over 600 'Mums were used.
The decoration at the Multnomah, where
nearly one-half of the second floor was
used, was decorated by Niklas & Son, in
the same color scheme. Taken as a whole,
it was the outstanding event of society.
The Jewish element set the pace which
will make some of the fashionably rich
step high to go them one better. It is
a pleasure to see flowers used as they
should be used, by those that can afford
to.

Of late there have been a number of
store openings where flowers in baskets
and horseshoes, etc., were called for.
Among these were the Telegram and Swet-
land's new candy and lunch shop, quite
large openings these.

The Martin & Forbes Co. also had a
large wedding decoration in the Church of
the Madeline, in which Autumn colors
were used. Nearly all flowers were in
tall standards and in basket arrange-
ments. Palms were also used. The prin-
cipals were Haller-Black.

Geo. Evans, representing Wertheimer
Bros., the New York ribbon house is in
the city calling on the trade. H. N.

Spokane, Wash.

The Market

Market conditions are about the
same as at the last writing, as so far we
have had no killing frosts. Asters are
about over; what few are left are very
poor. Other outdoor stock, which is still
coming in in good shape, consists of Zin-
nias, French and African Marigolds,
Scabiosa and a few Larkspur. Gladioli
are also nearly off the market as are also
Sweet Peas.

Carnations are improving every day,
some fine Laddie being shown. Local
Mums are scarce and some stock is being
shipped from California to fill in. Trade
as a whole is considered only fair with a
rush day now and then to give the re-
tailers an idea of what to expect when
frosts cut the outside stock.

News Notes

The Spokane Seed Co. reports a
record sale of Dutch bulbs this year.
These were received earlier and uptodate
more have been sold than for many years
past. The firm is entirely Bold out on
many leading varieties.

Ralph Neville of this firm has taken
over the florist supply line of M. Rice &
Co., and is now covering the territory in
a Ford car.

Harry Hill of the City Floral Co. is
back on the job having recently returned
from a trip to Vancouver, B. C, and vi»
cinity. He reports business conditions in
the northern city as good.

Mr. Emery of the firm of Sell-
ings & Emery, florists, of Lewiston,
Ida., was a business visitor in town
this week. He reports an increas-
ing flower trade with a good F. T.
D. business. This firm built a new pipe
frame house 30ft. by 80ft. this past Sum-
mer. It is already cutting indoor Sweet
Peas and its outdoor stock of all kinds
is still in good condition, the season being
three to four weeks later there than in
Spokane.

W. S. Goldsbary, representing the A.
L. Randall Co. of Chicago, is a business
visitor in town this week. Hoyt Bros. Co.
had the decorations for the Saunders-
Oudin wedding at All Saints Cathedral.
The color scheme was lavender and pink
and was carried out very effectively with
Gladioli, Asters, Dahlias and Enchantress
Carnations.

Cooperative Publicity Discontinued

At the regular meeting of the Flo-
rists Club, held Oct. 3, it was decided to
discontinue the cooperative advertising
that has been done the past year. The
wholesalers and growers voted to continue
the plan, leaving the retailers to adver-
tise individually. Several of the retail-
ers had objected to the present programs
of advertising as three of the retailers
would not pay their share toward the-
fund. Most of the evening was spent on
a lively discussion of cooperation and a
committee was appointed to see if the
club could not be reorganized with a view
toward closer cooperation among the
stores in all phases of the retail game. The
club also took action to see what can
be done toward securing suitable quar-
ters for a florist display at the Fair. After
the meeting adjourned the rest of the
evening was spent in bowling, the re-
tailers being matched against the whole-
salers. The fuel situation is about nor-
mal here with no apparent shortage as
vet. The funeral of E. Clark Walker,
manager of the Pantages Theatre here
was an occasion for many floral tributes,
each florist receiving his share oi the
work and turning out many fine pieces to
their credit.

Many of the stores are receiving regu-
lar shipments of California 'Mum stock,
of which the quality is somewhat im-
proved. The Spokane Florist is showing
some fine Chieftain this week. Violets
from California have also arrived, but
still show the effects of the hot weather.

Peters & Sons of Hillyard are building
a store room and show house on Market
St., Hillvard's principal business thor-
oughfare,' with a view toward the handling
of all their retail trade from that store.
They have bought the Jay P. Graves con-
servatory and are refitting it as a show
house. ' George F. Skinner.

Books Received

Henderson Bulb Culture

The new edition of this 68 page book
has been greatly improved through the
use of high class paper and many new il-
lustrations. It contains the general cul-
tural notes as written by Peter Hender-
son & Co. for Bailey's Cyclopedia followed
by a more or less brief description of some
130 species of bulbous, tuberous and rhiz-
omatic rooted plants for indoor and out-
door culture. True, the list contains
many subjects that the average gardener
would be unable to obtain without con-
siderable difficulty, but it nevertheless suf-
fices to educate the garden enthusiast as
to what he might have, if he lived any-
where but in the U. S. A. A long search
and considerable quantities of filthy
lucre would be required to locate all the
subjects enumerated; indeed it is doubt-
ful whether all of them could be found in
cultivation in the Western world outside
of some private collection that may or
mav not exist.

Wholesale American Bulb Grower.
' More than a million Jonquil Daffodil Narcissi
bulbs, growing happily in the soil and climate of
Puget Sound, producing "Superior Quality" of
forcing bulbs. I dig in June and July, shipping
cured bulbs in August and September. Why endure
disappointment by foreign growers who ship such
portions of accepted orders that please them. I
cannot fill all the orders sent me, but do ship all
I accept and as ordered. Why not Order Now for
next season's shipment and "buy in the good old
U. S. A., where business is done in the American

The Market

What was left out of door stuff
in the line of Dahlias, Feverfew, Cos-
mos and Coxcombs after the frost of two
weeks ago, succumbed this week to the
killing freeze, which occurred two nights
in succession. This had the effect of re-
moving the last remnants - of the flower
glut on the Queen City market and re-
storing prices to a wholesome level.
Wholesalers and commission men were
complaining, however, of the large con-
signments of pink Chrysanthemums sent
in by local growers. Few whites or yel-
lows have been grown this year appar-
ently, and dealers were fearful that the
trade would tire of the single color, al-
though the stock is in fine condition, with
good stems and large flowers. Polly Rose
and Estelle, white and yellow, were big
favorites last season and many retailers
were calling for them this year, but none
were to be had in the early crop. The
final cuttings of those Dahlias which were
saved by smudges, with a few Fever-
few and Larkspur and Cosmos were dis-
tributed this week. Carnations and
shipped in Lily of the Valley were good
sellers and wild Smilas continues popu-
lar for weddings and fall functions. The
cooler weather has seemed to develop
Carnations with longer stems and larger
blooms. Easter Lilies are scarce, sell-
ing for as high as 25c. each. Current mar-
ket prices on the leading flowers in the
Cincinnati district are: Roses — Premier,
$4 to $18; Butterfly, $4 to $12; Columbia,
$4 to $18; Yellow Ophelia, $4 to $15;
Carnation, $3 to $4; Chrysanths, $2 to $4
a doz.

Fort Wayne, Ind.

This past week has been one of better
business for the florists here. All report an
unusual demand for this time of year,
which indicates better business conditions
generally. Most of the shops are most at-
tractive with Autumn effects of highly
colored Oak foliage, and Chrysanthemums
which make a noble combination when
well arranged. The market is better sup-
plied this week, with a noticeable increase
in 'Mums which meet with ready sales.
Roses are in good demand with quality_ im-
proving. Carnations are more plentiful,
also with better quality. There is a fine
selection of pot plants to be had and a
good stock of Holland bulbs to be seen
in the stores.

Knecht & Fresse report good business.
They have on hand the finest lot of
'Mums they have ever grown. This firm
also has some exceedingly fine Roses. Its
new boiler room and brick smokestack
has added much to the convenience and
appearance of their plant.

Lanternier Florists have a fine lot of
pot plants coming in now,^ and business
right along is considerably increasing.

J. Lewis & Sons, Hamilton, Ont.

The Hustling Canadians,

Who Are Turning the Outside In,

Instead of the Inside Out

i

The boys came to Dad with a plan to work a
lot less land and get a lot more out of it. The
fact that he had made a nice tidy bit of money
from his outdoor crops didn't stop the boys
from seeing that there were still tidier sums to
be had from indoor ones. So Dad put his hand
in his pocket, and built one of our Number One
Iron Frame Houses, 51 feet wide and 150 feet
long. The first crop is tomatoes, and from
the way it looked when the photographs were
taken, you would say that Lewis and Sons are
old hands at the game. That house is going to
prove to them that the real money lies in in-
tensive farming inside. Why don't you build
a house and get some of that "inside money?"

Just one look at Mr. Lewis and you would know
that he is not only a solid sort of citizen, but a
man who doesn't let many worth while things get
by him It certainly was a satisfaction to do
business with him

Wm, Finck the Sweet Pea grower of Bound Brook, N. J. built one of our

There are other things than
pendulums that have a way of
swinging back and forth. For
example, take the question of
boarded sides on greenhouses.
Ten or twelve years ago when
cement was low, labor cost less
and lumber likewise, cement
side walls were the cheapest.

But since the War has jumped
the price on all three of these
items, the pendulum swings back
again, and cypress sides are a
little cheaper than concrete.
Furthermore, some growers are
beginning to question the actual
lastingness of concrete sides.
Several have found evidence of
their going to pieces, that hasn't
made them exactly happy.

In the old days when side ,benches were used,
regardless of the width of the house, boarded
sides were more subject to decay. The side
walk has improved both the quality of the
stock and the life of the construction.

They have been doing some
looking around and find houses
25 years old, with the cypress
sides still in good shape. Of
course, the base boards do rot
out, but the way we construct
them they can be easily re-
placed without in any way dis-
turbing the siding.

Don't think, however, that we
are coming out flat-footed and
recommending wood sides. We
are simply pointing to the swing
in that direction. The height of
sides and width of houses also
show some interesting tenden-
cies which we would like to tell
you about. You know we go
anywhere for business, or to talk
business.

F. H. B. Conference Discusses Bulbs

Gathering of Leading Dealers and Importers Contributes Important Facts about Insufficient Trade Supplies-
Admission of Score of Bulbs now Excluded Asked in Petition— Board Noncommittal as to Future except
in Reiterating Intention to Reduce Volume of Importations.
By CLARENCE L. LINZ

Washington, D. C. — Some additions to the list of
bulbs permitted free entry under Qu. 37 are expected
as a result of tbe conference held Oct. 30, when im-
porters and dealers placed before the Federal Horti-
cultural Board a list of bulbs which are not pro-
curable in sufficient quantities in this country. The
meeting was by far the most agreeable of any yet held
and the fact that the importers conceded the authority
of the Board to order such quarantines as it might
believe necessary was probably responsible, to some
extent, for the mildly favorable manner in which their
request for expansion of the list was accepted.

The meeting was presided over by Dr. Charles L.
Marlatt, Chairman of the Federal Horticultural Board.
Other members of the board present were W. A. Or-
ton, vice-chairman ; Karl F. Kellerman, R. Kent
Beattie and B. C. Althouse, assistant to the chair-
man. Several other representatives of the Bureau
of Plant Industry were present to give such infor--
mation as might be required relative to the bulbs
under discussion.

To Frank H. Henry of New York as chairman of
the committee of bulb dealers, retailers and importers,
must go the credit for pinning the meeting down to
a discussion of specific bulbs. By submitting a pe-
tition signed by 52 dealers, importers and seedsmen,
asking for the extension of the list of permitted
imports by the addition of a number of specified
bulbs, Mr. Henry steered the conference into a chan-
nel where constructive work could be and was done.
As a result of the discussion following the submis-
sion of his petition, it is possible that the Board
will make changes in the list of bulbs in the near fu-
ture which will enable the trade to feel there is some
hope for the future.

Chairman Restates F. H. B. Attitude

In opening the conference, Dr. Marlatt said : "This
bulb conference comes as an appendage or a follow-
up of the conference we held last May on the sub-
ject of Qu. 37. It was promised at that time that
subsequent conferences would be held at the wish of
any interests on any of the special subjects that were
concerned in that earlier conference of last May — the
bulb subject, the orchid subject, or any other sub-
ject. At the May conference the discussions covered
the general subject and we did not get down to de-
tails. Persons who attended the conference were not
willing to wait, were not prepared to take up details,
and we therefore suggested that these different inter-
ests get together promptly, determine what they want,
get something in the way of a definite program to
present to be considered as a whole in relation to
the different phases of the subject — the importing
phase, the dealing phase — that is, the mercantile
phase, the amateur phase of the subject — persons
who want to get them purely for their own use — for
propagating use — persons producing those bulbs and
therefore interested from that side.

"The Board has received no such report from any
of these subjects. It has not received anything defi-
nite as to what the importers or dealers would like
to have. The amateurs have not come forward with
any special suggestions; that is, detailed suggestions
other than that they want what they want when they
want it. This we know, but there has not been any
detailed suggestion from th,em. Nor have the growers
and producers of bulbs in this country come together
and presented anything in detail. They have come
to us as individuals and we have seen many of them
and have heard a lot on the subject. So we are prac-
tically in an open meeting ready to get that infor-
mation.

"Now, the Department has had an open mind on
bulbs and I hardly need to repeat what I said last
May or what I said at Detroit in August, 1919. I
asked for suggestions at that time and there should
not have been this delay of three years in presenting
suggestions. We are willing to have the bulb men
get together and present their program on bulbs and
we will consider it in connection with the idea of mak-
ing any changes or corrections.

"The orchid men did come together and could not

agree. We have made that announcement several

times. We made it last May that we were willing to

have constructive suggestions.

"I do not think it is necessary for me to say that

this quarantine has but one purpose — to keep out
pests. It has no idea of protecting any domestic
growers — to give our growers any advantage over for-
eign growers as has been alleged many times. There is
no basis for that charge whatever: The first objec-
tion to the quarantine was from the domestic grow-
ers. They are the ones who organized a country-wide
campaign against it. They certainly did not appre-
ciate that we were trying to do something to help
them. Of course, any quarantine must give advantage
to the domestic producer. By reason of the quaran-
tines abroad the European growers have no competi-
tion and are greatly benefited by the quarantine. It
has proved that these early fears were groundless.
We are pleased that we have helped the development
of horticulture in this country rather than torn it
down or destroyed it.

Bulbs Not Without Risk

"There has been a very general belief that bulbs are
as innocent of risk as it is possible for anything
grown in the ground to be. Everything has its risks,
and bulbs are not out of that category. A good many
important pests come in with bulbs. A stream of
such pests is coming in now with the bulbs that we
are permitting to be imported. Some of these will
be heard from in later years. During the ten years
of the enforcement of this quarantine, 43 different
kinds of insects have been taken on bulb importa-
tions ; some of these are taken on every bulb importa-
tion. There is not a bulb importation that is entire-
ly free. Some of these are important pests, some are
new to the country, and some have become established
and are already working harm.

"There are two bulb maggots that come in freely.
The larger bulb fly, or the Narcissus bulb fly (Mero-
don equestria) has been many times intercepted on
shipments from Holland and France. A recent ship-
ment from France showed infestations throughout,
some of the cases showing a five per cent infestation.
This pest has been taken in Narcissus, Hyacinths,
Amaryllis, German Iris, and other bulbs. I have here
an exhibit taken Oct. 18 from a few of these bulbs
which were examined in New York City and which
came from France.

"The lesser bulb fly (Eumern strigatus) is also
dangerous. Larva? of this bulb fly have been found
quite abundantly in shipments of Narcissi from Hol-
land during the present shipping season, in some cases
exhibiting a 12 per cent infestation. It has also been
taken this season in Hyacinth bulbs from Holland and
in Iris roots from France. In Europe it is reported
that it is an enemy of the Onion and has sometimes
destroyed whole crops of that vegetable. In this coun-
try it has already been observed infesting Onions of
the Pacific Northwest, and an acre of Holland Daffo-
dils was destroyed by it at Alameda, California. I
have here a little bottle containing 77 of these taken
from a single Narcissus bulb from Holland.

Narcissi Badly Infested This Year

"'the infestation of these two bulb flies has been
very heavy this year. There was one shipment from
Holland that was so heavily infested that we had to
order it fumigated. This is a good deal like shutting
the door after the horse has been stolen. This was so
badly infested, the Hollanders were so careless in
their shipment, that the bulbs either had to be fumi-
gated or refused entry.

"The bulb mite (Rhizoglyphus Kyacinthi) is re-
ported to have destroyed in Colorado an entire crop
of Lilies imported from Holland. This mite has been
found on seven or eight different kinds of bulbs. It
attacks plants other than bulbs also. It accompanies
practically every commercial foreign shipment of
bulbs and has been taken on Amaryllis, Crocus, Gal-
anthns. Gladiolus, Hyacinth, Lilium, Muscari, Narcis-
sus, Scilla, Tigridia and Tulip.

"The Narcissus nematode (Tylenclms Mpsaci) or
soil worm is prevalent in Holland and other parts of
Europe and has been brought to this country with
shipments of Lily bulbs. It has gained a foothold in
the Northwest and has spread to Clover, seriously en-
dangering crops in that region and even threatening-
further profitable production of this important for-
age and soil fertilizer plant.

"There are a good many bulb diseases and new

bulb pests coming in, some of which we do not know
tbe names of. A new one has just come in from Mex-
ico on Amaryllis bulbs that is unknown to science.
The infested bulbs were rendered worthless, but
nothing is known of the habits of the pest.

Modifications Must Meet New Situation

"The Department at the time the quarantine was
promulgated investigated the subject fully for a year
or more. It asked all its experts to submit lists
of schedules of bulbs that should be admitted and
plants that should be excluded. In the matter of bulbs
certain lists of bulbs were presented for unlimited
entry. In other words, any one could get a permit
good forever or until countermanded and could bring
in all the bulbs on that list that he wanted. The
other list contained the rest of the bulbs. . They could
be brought in for the purpose of reproduction or
for the introduction of new varieties. The "first lists
were believed by the experts to contain the bulbs that
were least dangerous from the sense of introducing
pests. Whether that was wise has remained to be
seen. The other list contained bulbs that would not
be produced iu this country in any quantity for some
years. Other bulbs were from origin or nature be-
lieved to be more dangerous from the standpoint of
introduction of pests, or bulbs which could be pro-
duced in this country or were being so produced.
Whether the experts, including ourselves, were wise
in this determination (we left this determination to
the experts but became involved because we presented
their findings to the Department of Agriculture for
acceptance) is a question open to debate. I do not
believe any of us will agree to it. I am sure I would
not. If I had to do it over again I would make a dif-
ferent list. I would include different bulbs not now
there. I do not say I would exclude any of the bulbs
that are now there.

"We have to face the situation as it is now. Va-
rious large reproduction enterprises have been un-
dertaken on account of the quarantine. That now
alters the situation and must be taken into account
in any future readjustment. In other words, we are
now operating in a different status as to reproduc-
tion in this country, the bulbs, the dangerous insects,
and other facts. What the Board would like to have
would be any discussion you would care to make.
We have a lot of information on the importation of
these bulbs for reproduction. We have information
on the bulb production in this country and future
possibilities. We have had half a dozen demands for
importations of bulbs on the prohibited list, but they
do not represent the sentiment of the country. We
have to take a broad, national viewpoint. We had
to consider it from a broad viewpoint of the risks of
the country as a whole. We have to consider crops
other than bulbs and realize that this quarantine must
be adjusted along broad lines. We cannot adjust the
quarantine along individual lines to benefit some com-
mercial concerns, but must act in the interest of
the whole country and all its agriculture and horti-
culture. That should be the thought uppermost here
this morning. That is, what is best for the interests
of us all."

How Healthy Are Lily Bulbs?

The first question, raised by Frank H. Henry, of
Henry & Lee, New York, was as to whether any seri-
ous insects had been found in Bermuda Lilies. To
this Dr. Orton, a member of the Board, said that the
Bermuda Lily industry had formerly flourished, but
had almost been put out of business by disease or a
combination of diseases and pests. Many of the
growers' difficulties were due to their failure to take
control measures, although the situation was investi-
gated by a special committee from England. Lilies
as a class, it was pointed out, always come more or
less infected, both by insects and fungi, whether from
Bermuda or Japan. Mr. Henry asserted, however,
that Lilies in the greenhouses are considered as
healthy as can be found, and forcers suffer far less
loss than they used to. The question is, therefore,
whether the few insects found (and some are found
in everything that grows) are dangerous to the United
States.

F. H. B. Discusses Bulbs

(Continued from page 1195)
for the attitude which it has consistently adopted
toward the American amateurs, J. Horace McFarland
of Harrisburg, Pa., chairman of the Committee on
Horticultural Quarantine, representing the scientific
and amateur plant interests of the United States,
charged the Board with "passing the buck" and with
following the French system of finding everything
guilty until proven innocent. "I presume that the
subject we are discussing is wholly related to the
Act of Aug. 20, 1912, under which the Federal Hor-
ticultural Board was created and Qu. 37 and all other
quarantines of the Department of Agriculture main-
tained," said Mr. McFarland.

"One is rather inclined to ask whether or not the
French system of jurisprudence has not prevailed in
this consideration of the subject. In the United States
we are giving the privilege of believing every man
innocent until he is proven guilty ; in France, I am
told, every man is guilty until he is proven innocent.
In view of the apparent intent of Congress in passing
the Act of 1912, I venture to suggest that with re-
spect to bulbs, the Federal Horticultural Board has
assumed the French manner.

Board Asked to Carry Out Desires of Congress

"In the report of the Congressional Committee on
Agriculture, which considered the act creating the
Board, I find the following sentence : 'In the quaran-
tine provisions of this section the particular plant
bearing the danger is excluded, but no unnecessary re-
strictions are to be placed on other plants not af-
fected by the quarantine.' As that is the plain mind
of Congress, I venture to suggest that if the plain
purpose of Congress and the American system of
proving guilt before you punish the criminal was also
applied, we ought to have more bulbs admitted.

"We suggest that it would be a fair thing if all
bulbs were admitted, save those specifically shown
to bring danger in in the meaning of the act. The
remaining danger could be guarded against. We have
thought that even if the danger existed as has been
outlined to us (that is, one to five pen cent of a ship-
ment being affected) this is not an adequate reason for
depriving American growers of the bulbs. We now
believe that unless the introduction of the excluded
bulbs is definitely known to be likely to result in the
introduction of a new disease or pest they ought
to be freely admitted.'

Mr. McFarland read excerpts from a letter sent to
Secretary Wallace just before the May conference,
signed by Mr. Howard, chairman of the executive
committee of the California Association of Nursery-
men, urging the Board to give free admittance to a
number of bulbs not being grown in quantities suf-
ficient to meet the needs of the country. This letter
had been printed in leaflet form by J. C. Vaughan
of Chicago. Upon the conclusion of Mr. Mc-
Farland's remarks, Dr. Marlatt declared that the let-
ter in question did not represent the attitude of the
association, but appeared to be the personal senti-
ments of Mr. Howard and that when the Board was
in California last Summer the members of the Asso-
ciation had declared they were still in favor of the
quarantine and that officials of the association upon
learning the use to which the letter was being put
had telegraphed both to the Federal Horticultural
Board and to Secretary Wallace declaring that the
sentiments expressed therein were not those of the
association.

Mr. McFarland created considerable amusement
among those present when he took up the question
of disease and pests. There is some disease or pest
on everything, he said, and if efforts were made to
keep them all out nothing at all would come into the
country.

Proof of Danger Demanded Before Exclusion

"If a thing can be shown to introduce danger we
are with you, but we ask you to prove it on a very
definite basis. We are aware that there are dangers
in imported bulbs, but we are also aware that there
can be safeguards taken and that they can be effective
at both ends of the line and it is possible to bring
things in without introducing additional dangers."

Mr. McFarland precipitated a verbal conflict when
he took up the question of having additional ports
of entry named. Mr. Marlatt immediately came back
with the stock argument of the Federal Horticultural
Board that it cannot provide such additional ports
without additional funds and that it cannot get
additional funds from Congress unless it has the back-
ing of the industry and those interested when mem-
bers of the Board go before the Committee on Ap-
propriations to ask for the money. Several efforts
have been made, said Dr. Marlatt, to secure additional
ports. This led Mr. McFarland to accuse the Board

of being adept at "passing the buck," whereupon Dr.
Marlatt asked liim if the amateurs and others had
ever shown any disposition to work for it.

"The reception given to the recommendations of this
committee and the references to the members of this
committee has not begot a state of mind which makes
us feel very much like going out to get money for
you," said Mr. McFarland. "We are up against a
Chinese wall in respect to cases already considered
and predetermined. When the Board shows any signs
of readiness to help us, we will be very glad to be
with you, maybe in advance of the matter in the way
you suggest."

Petition from Bulbmen Presented

The real business of the day was brought up when
Mr. Henry submitted to the Board a petition signed
by 52 seedsmen, dealers and importers, east of Chica-
go, asking for the extension of the list of permissible
imports by the addition of some 40 odd varieties of
bulbs, some 17 of which were marked as being of the
greatest importance to the industry. The addition of
these varieties to the list of permitted imports, said
Mr. Henry, is essential if the trade is to supply the
public with the stock heretofore used. The total
value of all these varieties would not amount to
more than 20 per <?ent of the value of the present
admitted imports, nor to more than two per cent of
the quantity. They are all bulbs which can be har-
vested and packed dry and hard, so that no danger
of infestation accompanies their import. The varie-
ties which are considered most important, he said, and
which were so marked in the petition, were agreed
to by all members of the trade signing the petition.

Petition Presented by Frank B. Henry, Chairman of

the Special Bulb Committee Appearing Before

the F. H. B., Oct. 30, 1922

On statement of Dr. C. L. Marlatt, chairman of the
Federal Horticultural Board, made at time of heal-
ing before Honorable Secretary of Agriculture Wal-
lace at Washington Conference on May 15, 16, 1922,
that the Board was open to consider allowing addi-
tional varieties to be included — in unlimited entry —
under Regulation 3. We, the undersigned American
importers, dealers and distributers of bulbs, being the
medium through whom the ultimate consumer and
amateur derive their requirements, request that the
following varieties of bulbs, in future, be permitted
unlimited entry.

(X) Gloxinia

Hemerocallis
Hippea strum

(X) Iris (bulbous va-
rieties)

Isjnene calathina

Ixia

Leucojum

Lyconia
(X) Lycoris

Milla

Montbretia
(X) Muscari
(X) Nerine

Orntthogalum

(X) Oxalis

Ranunculus
(X) Scilla

Sparaxis

Tigridia
(X) Zephyranthes

Achimenes

Allium
(X) Amaryllis

Anemone

Anomatheca

Alstromeria

Babiana
(X) Begonia
(X) Caladiums
(X) Calms

Camassia
(X) Chionodoxa
(X) Colchicum

Crinum

Crown Imperials
( X ) Dielytra

Eranthis
(X) Freesia

Fritillarla
(X) Galanthus (Snow-
drop )

Gladiolus nanus and

Cardinalis

Note: — Those varieties marked (X) are the most
important items from a commercial standpoint.

All of these additional varieties of bulbs can be
"dry-packed" without soil or earth, or roots, and
therefore any risk of infestation will be minimized
as fully as in the case of Hyacinths, Tulips, Narcissus
and other bulbs at present permitted.

While the commercial value of the additional va-
rieties asked for probably does not represent over 20
per cent, nor the volume (bulk) over 5 per cent of the
present permitted kinds, it is the fact, that the lack of
these additional varieties — not at present allowed —
prevents the "trade" from satisfying their customers
who have been regularly supplied with a complete
assortment of bulbs for many years past; only the
inclusion of these varieties will permit the publish-
ing of anything like a complete or satisfactory bulb
catalog.

We, therefore, submit through a committee present-
ing this petition, urgent appeal for its full and fa-
vorable consideration, and ask that an early decision
on the part of the Honorable Secretary of Agriculture
and Federal Horticultural Board, be made — as the

season for obtaining supplies is now practically at

hand.

Permits, Importations and National Needs

The list of the bulbs was immediately taken up for
consideration, R. Kent Beattie, statistician of the
Board, giving information regarding permits issued
for, and importations of, the bulbs named to date :

Amakxllis. — Only one permit, covering six bulbs,
has been issued. It was estimated by those present
that 125,000 Amaryllis bulbs are needed annually in
this country.

Ttjbeeous Begonia. — Eighteen permits, covering
S6,071 bulbs, have been issued ; 76,120 bulbs have
been actually imported under nine of the permits.
The Begonia situation, it was brought out, is in a
very unsatisfactory way. The Cottage Garden Nur-
series of California, said Mr. Beattie, went in strong-
ly for the culture and claimed to produce at least
100,000 more bulbs than the country could absorb, so
that this year the number was cut down and the pro-
duction will be very low. This statement was chal-
lenged by several present, Paul F. Richter, general
manager of the Henry F. Michell Co., Philadelphia,
declaring that it was Impossible for his firm to secure
a sufficient stock of Begonia. C. B. Knlckman of Mc-
Hutchison & Co., New York, corroborated this state-
ment, as did J. II. Burdett, of Vaughan's Seed Store,
Chicago. Both declared they had found it impos-
sible to secure full deliveries of the amounts con-
tracted for or to make up their shortage from other
growers.

Calladium. — Two permits have been issued cover-
ing 281 bulbs, but only one bulb has ever been ac-
tually imported.

Calla. — Two permits covering 13 roots have been
issued, but only one root has been imported.

Notes from Abroad

We cannot, on this side of the Atlantic,
boast of an Indian Summer, the recital of
the charms of which has sometimes made
the writer a little envious, but occasion-
ally the conjunction of a few bright days
in October somewhat reconciles the in-
habitant of the British Isles to the pros-
pect of the November fogs. The Conti-
nent, however, has not been so favored
in this respect, and growers in Germany
are complaining of cold and wet weather,
which has interfered with the ripening
and harvesting of a good many kinds of
flower seeds.

The trade in Ericas, Solanums, Lilies
and Celosias, among other pot plants, has
been fairly brisk, but as regards cut
flowers, it is a case of Chrysanthemums
first and last in monotonous succession,
if such a term can be applied to a plant
with such a variety of brilliant colors and
irraeeful forms. Some Cyclamen are now
besinning to appear.

Holland reports a good cron of Spinach
and large ouantities already exported.
Cabbages, Turnips and most brassicus
are not far removed from failures. Peas
are an in and out crop, a few leading
sorts having done fairly well. Radishes
are late in rinening off, having had a bad
start in the Spring.

From France it is reported that the
Tomato crop will be fairly good, although
not un to the expectations previously
formed. In the West the plantations are
looking well, although a little late: in the
center they are later still, but in the
South they have done very well, indeed.
Cucumbers, on the other hand, are a poor
crop in the South, owing to the prevalence
of disease, but have done better in the
West, where the harvesting is now in full
swing. Squashes have given a fair yield
in most districts. Corn Salad has turned
out a little better than the low estimates
formed. Ultimate results of many ar-
ticles still largely depend on the late Oc-
tober weather.

New York Seed Trade

Bulbs

Counter sales of Dutch bulbs are stead-
ily increasing and will probably reach
their height this week or next. The
present weather beyond a doubt has
much to do with stimulating these sales
and makes outdoor planting both by the
amateur buyer and the professional gar-
deners more comfortable than in many
seasons when wet weather prevails. Or-
ders from florists who force bulbs into
flower either for their own retail sales
or for the wholesale cut flower market
are by no means lagging, for there is
always a certain number of these buyers
who wait until as late as possible, in the
hones that they will be able to fill their
orders from surplus stocks at lower
nrices than the bulbs could have been
bought for at the beginning of the season.
For the most part they have been un-
able to do this, because the general de-
mand for Dutch bulbs has been so strong.

Arrivals of Lilium giganteum bulbs
from .Tapan are steadily coming in over-
land from the Pacific Coast, and the
demand appears to be absorbing the sup-
ply as fast as it arrives. The prices of
these bulbs are reported to be firm and
higher than usual. At this writing, Mon-
day, bulb importers and bulb handlers
in this city are much interested in the
conference going on before the F. H. B.
in Washington. D. C, today, and are
hoping for the best as regards the re-
sults of this meeting.
Hallowe'en Windows

The seed stores up to Monday of this
week, seem to he taking quite as much
interest in Hallowe'en as the retail flo-
rist stores and. relative to their number,
more. Some of the seed stores have gone
to not a littfe expense for material and
labor in arranging these Hallowe'en win-

dows. One of the most elaborate of
these is that of Stumpp & Walter Co.,
30 to 32 Barclay st. One of the immense
windows of this commodious store has
been given over entirely to an uncom-
monly elaborate and well carried out
Hallowe'en display. Upon a background
formed of orange colored cloth, are the
usual black witches, which are supposed
to hold high revel at Hallowe'en, riding
on brooms and accompanied by black
cats ; also black placards on which bulbs
are offered for sale, the descriptions be-
ing given in orange colored letters.
Sheaves of Indian Corn showing their
yellow ears are standing against this
background, and boughs of Oak foliage
and Candleberry bushes form an edging
for the foot of the background. On the
window floor, which is also covered with
the same material as the background, are
piles of yellow Pumpkins and Squashes,
ears of yellow Corn and boughs of Oak
foliage and red berries. Bird houses,
copies of Garden Guide, window boxes
filled with bulbs, and china ware and
glass bowls filled with same are also dis-
played. Corn pickers, Popcorn and Corn-
poppers, hotbed mats, plant labels, col-
lections of Tulins. etc., likewise are
shown. On the windows themselves are
black eats and owls and at the foot an
edging of black and yellow paper frieze.
Aside from being a splendid Hallowe'en
window, the advertising features are well
taken care of. When lighted up. the
effect of this window is even finer than
in daylight. Groups of people are all the
time in front of this window, and fa-
vorable remarks, and letters commenting
on the display from customers, indicate
the interest which such displays stimu-
late. We cannot help but note when
going into this great store, that since
the rearrangement which has been made
during the last six months, that with
the exception of the counters, the main
floor of this store is really a wonderfully
great display room.

Crossing the street diagonally, we
pause in front of Vaughan's Seed Store,
43 Barclay st. Here, too, is a Hallowe'en
window worthy of looking at. The hack-
ground, sides and floor covering are made
of orange colored and black raffia. The
effect of the use of this simple material
is excellent. In this window, too, we
see witches, bowls of bulbs, sheaves of
Corn. Jack o' Lanterns, and Pumpkins,
the whole so arranged so as to make this
Hallowe'en window display quite at-
tractive.

Calling this week at Carters Tested
Seeds, Inc., 53 Barclay st. we found the
store manager, W. J. Collins back at his
desk. He tells us that Gilbert Beale of
.Tames Carter & Co.. Raynes Park, Lon-
don, is now at the New York store, tak-
ing part in a conference in reference to
business matters. Mr. Beale is expected
to remain a few weeks before returning
to England. David G. Reid, has. Mr.
Collins tells us. severed his connection
with Carters Tested Seeds, Inc.. and gone
back to Boston, where he intends going
into business with one of his recent busi-
ness associates, namely, Norman How-
den. The two have recently purchased
the Hovey Co., which is one of the oldest
seed establishments in New England, and
will continue to conduct the business un-
der the old name. William E. Atwood
has resigned his position with Carters
Tested Seeds and accepted an offer ten-
dered him recently by the Johnson Seed
Co. of Cleveland. O.. as store and sales
manager of the retail department. We
were sorry to learn that Mr. Collins has
recently met with a great bereavement
through the death of his mother, who
passed away on Oct. 11 at the age of 74
years in Rothesay. Scotland.

them being what is known as top sized
bulbs. In order to keep up with orders,
a force of night workers has to be em-
ployed. There are sales, as usual, every
Tuesday and Friday in the auction de-
partment, where bulbs are also moving
well.

The demand for Dutch bulbs, F. Ryn-
veld & Co., 61 Vesey St., report, continues
unusually strong; it is believed that
everything will clean up. Another ship-
ment of Lilium giganteum has arrived and
been distributed. The firm expects to
start digging Spiraeas at its Hicksville
L. I., nursery, next week. The lifting of
the Rynveld Gladioli there has already
been completed; the bulbs have made un-
usually fine growth.

Herman Rynveld, accompanied by one
of the salesmen of this firm, sailed on the
S. S. Mauretania for this country from
Cherbourg via Liverpool on Oct. 28.

Among the recent callers in this city
was Leonard Outerbridge of E. Worrall
Outerbridge Co., Bermuda. Mr. Outer-
bridge, we are told, was on his way to
Washington. D. O, to attend the con-
ference of the F. H. B.

At Vaughan's Seed Store the demand
for Dutch bulbs, it is reported, continues
strong and that stocks of these are being
rapidly depleted. Replacements can only
be obtained at high prices, so that some
retail prices are, of necessity, higher
than catalog prices. This store reports
that they are busy at their local nurseries
on Long" Island, lifting Spiraea, Tritomas
and Gladioli. This local nursery is mere-
ly an addition to Vaughan's big nurseries

in Michigan. Cooler weather is having
a desired effect in increasing the counter
trade in bulbs. A large shipment of Im-
mortelles is expected to arrive from
France on Dec. 2. Prices on these will
be higher than last year on account of
the 40 per cent increase in tariff, which
necessitates an increase in price in about
the same proportion.

Talking with Carl Giessler. manager
at Max Sehling's seed store, 24 West
59th St., Mr. Giessler said: "Bulbs never
sold so freely with us as this year. Many
varieties of our original importations
have already been cleaned up,, and al-
though we imported this year about
twice as many as last year, we have
been forced already to go into the open
market to buy more bulbs in order to
keep our orders well filled." We noted
that the window display at this store is
at this time, accentuating the growing
of bulbs and Valley pips in prepared
fibre in bowls of American made Lustre
ware. These, Mr. Giessler pronounces,
equal to the imported. This seed store
has been advocating strongly, both in
its Autumn catalog and over the counter,
the advisability of Autumn planting of
budded Roses." The result, they report,
of this campaign in favor of Autumn
planting, is that they have been and are
still sending out many Rose bushes, and
that their orders for these are equal to
the Spring orders. Full direction as to
how to plant in the Fall and protect dur-
ing the Winter is given to customers.
The arguments set forth by this store,
in favor of the Fall planting of Rose
bushes, certainly are forceful and the di-
rections practical.

At Peter Henderson & Co.'s great store
at 35-37 Cortlandt st., one of the im-

high from front to back with pumpkins
and squashes in numerous varieties and
all sizes. One pumpkin of each variety
was labeled with its name and all those
shown were grown on Peter Henderson's

surmounted by boughs of Oak foliage and
Indian Corn on the stalks, which a thiev-

ant were sampling freely. We always
expect displays on a large scale and well
done at Henderson's, but this year their

Chicago Seed Trade

The Albert Dickinson Co. has estab-
lished a branch at Nampa, Ida., for the
recleanmg of Alfalfa and other seeds.

R. B. Howe, president of the W. W
Barnard Co., states that the bulb trade
is good, both retail and wholesale. Pres-
sure of business prevented him from at-
tending the bulb conference at Washing-
ton- C. D. Coventry, who has been on
the Pacific Coast for some weeks, is again
at his desk. He tells of the wonderful
Zinnias seen on the California seed farms
getting there at the time they were in full
bloom. He reports the firm's Bean crop
in Idaho in excellent condition.

Vaughan's Seed Store is a busy place.
Ihere is a lively counter trade daily at
the retail store, and on the West Side
the wholesale trade is heavier than usual
J-he digging of Gladioli bulbs on the Michi-
gan farms is progressing favorably, owing
to excellent weather conditions.

Henderson's Seed Store reports the re-
tail demand for 'bulbs for bedding very
good, with a decided increase for Darwin
iulips, including the higher priced va-
rieties.

The Western Canners Association will
told its 77th semi-annual convention at
the Hotel Sherman, Chicago, Nov. 9 and

A. Setterberg of the J. Oliver Johnson
Co. reports a heavy demand for their par-
ticular brands of lawn grass seed for
oprmg delivery.

Philadelphia Seed Trade

Harry Simpson of Cooper, Taber Co
ing., was a visitor in this city Oct. 30
and called on several members of the
trade.

Bulb sales have been excellent every-
where. The frost started the heavy buy-
ing and all firms are doing a thriving
business. Store trade generally, perhaps
is a little lower than excepted, but total
sales are higher than last year every-
where.

Michell's report heavy store trade and
bulb orders above expectations

Mr Kirby of I. N. Simon & Sons was
at Charleston, S. C, last week. Orders
here are good.

Hosea Waterer has further elaborated
his window display on Chestnut and one
entire window is filled with unique souve-
nirs of Holland, while the other is de-
voted to a display of bulbs.

The Robert Buist Seed Co. received two
carloads of Peas last week and are get-

Washington (D. C.) Seed Notes

Presentation to Dr. D. Fairchild

*r^Iepibe? Tf*th? of^ce of Foreign Seed
and Plant Introduction, of the Depart-
ment ot Agriculture, made the twenty-fifth
anniversary of its establishment, "which
occurred on Oct. 9, the occasion for pre-
senting a handsomely engrossed leather-
bound testimonial to Dr. David Fairchild
rts director. The memorial presented to
^/•Fairchild reviews the early history
of the work of the office and of his con-

nection with it, and expresses the senti-
ments of the entire stair" in appreciation
of the work that he has done, not only
in the course of time, but for those with
whom he comes in daily contact.

The office of Foreign Seed and Plant
Introduction was established before the
Bureau of Plant Industry was originated,
and was merged with the bureau in 1903.
Much of the success of the office is due to
Dr. David Fairchild, who entered the
Division of Plant Pathology in 1889, and
who was the leader in the organization
and development of the new department.

Foreign Inspection of Seeds and Plants

The Post Office Department has been
advised that plants, seeds, bulbs and
other parts of plants intended for propa-
gation and transmitted by mail from the
United States to Trinidad and Tobago by
parcel post, are subject to inspection and
disinfection at destination, and are de-
stroyed if such action is found to be
necessary. Postmasters throughout the
United States have been instructed by
the Department to govern themselves ac-
cordingly in accepting parcel post matter
of this nature for those two destinations.

Catalogs Received

Success Mfg. Co., Gloucester, Mass. — Small
folder illustrating and describing the Success
Window Bos. Made of metal, it is constructed
to make watering easy. It is dripless, prevents
souring of the soil, yet supplies all the moisture
needed. The New York agents are C. H. & E. S.
Goldberg, 5S5 Hudson st., New York City.

Fuller's Gladiolus Farm, Battle Creek, Mich.
— Wholesale price list of gladioli. Quotes some 40
of the most popular commercial varieties in six
sizes by the thousand and also bulblets by the
quart. All stock is guaranteed clean and true to
name.

Teas Nursery Co., Houston, Texas. — Wholesale
price list of hardy shrubs, and trees, greenhouse
plants, palms and sundry other subjects are dealt
with in this attractive little list.

Naperville Nurseries, Naperville, 111. — Whole-
sale price list of trees, shrubs, vines, evergreens
and herbaceous plants. A most extensive collection
is offered but descriptions are brief. Lining out
stock is also offered.

Edwards & Patterson, Midgeville, Ga. — A
unique little catalog dealing exclusively with
Pecan nuts. This firm handles no other stock.
It is claimed that Midgeville is the best center for
Pecan culture, as it is cool enough to ensure a rest
period, making for hardier trees. Edwards &
Patterson state they do not claim to be the largest
growers of Pecans, nor the only people producing
good stock, nor that they sell more trees; they
modestly state that their trees are as good as they
can make them. All are worked from bearing trees
and no seedlings are offered. They claim for their
stock freedom from disease, and all shipments are
fumigated as required by the Georgia State laws.
We note that Edwards & Patterson hold the view
that good Pecan nuts will not drop below 25c. a lb.
in the next generation, but even at 10 cents, an
established Pecan orchard will pay well. A Pecan
tree gets into full bearing, at least 50 lbs. of nuts
when 15 years old.

A. J. Van der Vies & Co., Oakton, Va. — Retail
catalog of field grown Roses. This firm has always
specialized in Roses and Lilacs but have now ex-
tended their operations to cover Peonies, shrubs
and other subjects. The Roses are budded on
multifloraand judging by the several illustrations,
a considerable area is devoted to them. We note
that with few exceptions, the varieties are listed
at 75c. each; this applies to Teas and H. Ts.
Climbers, etc. are even cheaper. The list is fairly
extensive and features many good standard sorts.

Van Ginhoven & Co., 32 Pearlst., N. Y. City. —
Special reminder of Summer flowering bulbs for
Spring shipment. This firm's headquarters are at
Lisse, Holland. ■

Atlantic Nursery Co., Berlin, Md. — Trade
price list of young nursery stock. Features a
large assortment ot trees and shrubs ranging from
4in. to 4ft. Evergreen seedlings are not quoted
but certain subjects are in stock, together with
hardy perennials. This firm also grows Daffodil
bulbs and many other items.

Herman Leid, Arnstadt i Thur, Germany. —
Seed list in English with prices in American cur-
rency. The covers are highly colored, showing
Carnations, Pansies, and various garden and green-
house flowers. Malmaison Pinks, Pot Choir Pinks
and other vaiieties of Dianthus appear to be a
specialty, a large number being listed under name.
Seeds of many American raised varieties are offered,
but we are left in doubt as to whether all these
named varieties of Dianthus come true to descrip-
tion. Nevertheless, we imagine one could derive
much interest from the collection offered, numbering
perhaps well over 200 varieties and types, perennial
and annual. Various other flowers favored by
florists are offered, including hardy Primroses
which, if the colored cover is accurate, embrace
many colors. All kinds of Primulas and other
greenhouse plant seeds are featured strongly, while
Pansies are claimed to be a great specialty. The
general illustrations are poor, mostly wood cuts.
_,.F- W^ SCelsey Nursery Co., Church st., N. Y*
City. — Special wholesale offers of nursery stock-
deciduous trees and flowering shrubs. Prices are
•quoted lor dozens and hundreds. Small stock for
lining out is also offered.

Forest Nursery Co., McMinnville, Tenn —
Wholesale trade list of forest and shade trees and
ornamental shrubs. Offers manv subjects in
planting sizes in hundred and thousand lots. Tree
and shrub seeds or various kinds, including Peach
are also offered, together with hardwood cuttings
of many shrubs. fa

Week at the Capital

By CLARENCE L. LINZ

Industrial Activity

Industrial activity throughout the coun-
try is successfully maintaining the level
which it attained several months ago, ac-
cording to reports which have been re-
ceived at the Department of Commerce.
The Department's survey of current busi-
ness covering the month of September,
shows that, with the resumption of coal
mining and the settling of the railroad
strike, there has been increased activity
in many industries. Employment con-
tinues its advance toward normal, reach-
ing in September its best condition since
December, 1920.

There is a steadily lessening surplus of
idle freight ears, indicating an increased
movement of manufactured and other com-
modities. This is also observed in the
figures for the freight movement, which
show that the average loading of freight
cars has increased, and outside of the
loadings in October 1921, which were
greatly increased on account of a strike
threat, were the largest since October
1920. Business failures made a noticeable
decline in September, reaching the low-
est point since August 1921, in both num-
ber and liabilities. Exports increased
slightly over August, while imports for
the first 21 days in Seijteniber were made
at a higher daily rate than in August.

A continuance of the general improve-
ment of business conditions throughout
the country is indicated by reports of
freight loadings for the week ending Oc-
tober 14, which have just been filed by
the carriers with the American Railway
Association. Loading of merchandise and
miscellaneous freight, which includes
manufactured products, totaled 578,614
cars, an increase of 4832 ears over the
previous week and of 23,369 over the cor-
responding week last year.

Total loading of revenue freight during
the week amounted to 983,470 cars, an
increase of 15,301 cars over the previous
week and of 72,941 cars over the loadings
for the corresponding week last year.

Parcel Post Revisions

With reference to increased rates on
parcel post, previously noted in these col-
umns, officials of the Post Office Depart-
ment state that they will be very glad to
consider any data which any trade asso-
ciation or business man may desire to
submit relative to the proposed changes in
charges for carrying parcel post matter.
It has been felt for some years that the
rates on parcel post matter have been too
low to cover the cost of handling, and the
investigation now going on was undertaken
with a view to ascertaining for the first
time since parcel post service was in-
augurated, the actual cost of handling this
matter.

As a result of the greatly increased
business throughout the. country, diffi-
culties are being encountered in handling
the increased freight traffic and a seri-
ous car shortage may become an impor-
tant factor in the industrial situation, it
is observed in a survey of business con-
ditions just issued by the Federal Re-
serve Board. The difficulty in securing
ears for shipment has led to some cur-
tailment of production in a number of
lines. Most mills and factories continued
to operate very close to capacity during
the past month.

Practically every important line of
wholesale trade showed improvement dur-
ing the month, the reports to the Fed-
eral Reserve Board show. Retail trade
also continued to improve and depart-
ment store sales were larger than in the
corresponding month of last year.

New Orleans, La.

All Saints Day Rush

Oct. 28. — It is easy to tell what
day of the year is approaching by a visit
to any of the local flower shops, for1 the
different stores are literally bowers of
Chrysanthemums, and the usually genial
owners are so busy they can hardly spare
enough time to say, "Business is rushing."

Wednesday, Nov. 1, will be All Saints
Day, and as one florist put it: "If we
don't get business on that day, business is
dead, and we might as well hang crepe
on the door to show it." So by the ab-
sence of any such symbol in the city^ we
are inclined to believe that the florists'
Christmas will be a big day indeed. A
large number of orders have been booked
by the trade up to this time, and Monday
and Tuesday will see many more coming
in. It is these two days that will keep
the forces' working day and night and
the delivery trucks continually on the go.
Business so far has not been spoken of
as better than last year, but there are
still three days to go, and the florists say
that they will have all that they can
handle.

All Saints Day is probably observed
more religiously in New Orleans than in
any other city in the country, because of
the large foreign population in the French
quarter, the majority of whom are Catho-
lics, and who are much more careful in
observing religious rites than native
American citizens. This day with them
is iong looked forward to. Even as
much as a month before a visit to the
various cemeteries will show men at work
with the whitewash brush, for the ma-
jority of the bodies are buried above
ground, and the vaults are given a fresh
white coat once a year.

Each grave must then have its basket
of flowers or its wreath, and it is furnish-
ing fresh flow-ers for this day that will
keep the florists on the run. The demand
this year seems to be for cut flowers in
baskets rather than for the artificial
or metallic wreath, although numbers of
both have been ordered as well as fresh
flower wreaths. The tendency this year
is, however, quite contrary to former
years in that an extra amount of baskets
are being used.

Vast numbers of Chrysanthemums are
required by the florists to enable them to
fill their orders; several full carloads
have been ordered from California. These
are already beginning to arrive, and seem
to be in excellent condition. It is many
years since New Orleans grew as fine a
crop of Chrysanthemums locally as the
one now on the market. Weather con-
ditions are ideal and the quality of
bloom first class. Nearly all of the flo-
rists grew several thousand of the 'Mums
for their own use on All Saints Day, but
these will of course be insufficient to meet
their needs.

White Chrysanthemums are being of-
fered for sale as low as $2 a doz., but the
majority of the florists are asking from
$4 to $12. The yellow, pink aud bronze
varieties are averaging from $6 to $12.
Roses, which also receive some call dur-
ing the event, although not as much as
Chrysanthemums because they do not last
so well, are bringing from $2 to $8 per
doz., with American Beauty ranging from
$10 to $12. Carnations have gone up to
$2.50 per doz., and Lily of the Valley is
offered for the sanie price. Orchids make
$2.50 each.

News Notes

The newest addition to floral shops
in the city is the Southern Nursery, which
opened for business on Sunday, Oct. 22.
It is an exceedingly attractive little store,
located at 633 Cherokee st. The proprie-
tors, D. Kaul and his sons, opened just in
time to do a good share of the All Saints
Day business and to start their new ven-
ture with a rush.

The New Orleans Horticultural Society
has gone on record as indorsing the move-
ment for a municipal auditorium which
the city is trying to build and which will
be put to a vote on November 7. New
Orleans at the present time has no audi-
toriuin large enough to seat the people
which a large convention would bring to
the city, and has missed a number of
them in this way. It would also provide
seating capacity for large public enter-
tainments or gatherings. If it is con-
structed, it will make it possible for New
Orleans to invite the Society of American
Florists to hold its annual convention
here.

Charles Eble, pioneer florist of New
Orleans, delivered a talk at the meeting
of the society, on Sunday, Oct. 29, on

returned from a three months' trip
through Belgium, Germany and Austria
gave an interesting recital of conditions
existing in those countries at the present

paid by industrial plants.

Trade Notes

Things are running along smoothly
in the local trade. Business is not par-
ticularly heavy, but fair as a whole. The
general outlook is reported as good, as
labor is well employed, building opera-
tions being very heavy, assuring fair em-
ployment over the Winter. General busi-
ness is humming as shown by the fact
that the year's bank clearings to date are
nearly a hundred thousand dollars ahead
of those of last year. Building opera-
tions this year will go about 15 million
and there is about 20 million proposed for
next year.

Wrecking of buildings at Fourth and
Broadway starts on Nov. 1 for the new
Brown Hotel of six hundred rooms which,
when completed, should stimulate the
southern end of the business district of

rists are now located in the block between
Chestnut and Broadway.

The Kunzman Floral Co. was one of
about a hundred and fifty exhibitors at
the Better Homes Exposition at the Jef-
ferson County Armory, the week of Oct.
23. A real wedding was solemnized the
first night, drawing an attendance of over
16,000. Daily "stunts" of one sort or
another brought out a big attendance and
a very successful exposition. The Kunz-
man Company featured the fact that flow-
ers lend charm to the interior, while
plants, etc., add value to the exterior, or
the home.

The Louisville Nurseries Co. of St.
Mathews, Ky., also exhibited at the ex-
position, showing a fine line of evergreens,
plants, etc.

The State Nursery at the Fair Grounds,
Louisville, is offering saplings at the
nominal cost of ten cents each, and en-
deavoring to create an interest in shade

that trees from 2ft. to 10ft. may be had
m Poplar, White Ash, Catalpa, Red Elm,
Black Locust, Red and Silver Maple, Pin
Oak, Red Oak, Chestnut, Oak, Red Bud
and Sycamore.

Some of the leading local houses are
offering fine Chrysanthemums at $3 a doz.
and up; Roses, $2 to $5 and up; Boston
Ferns and other house plants, $1.50 and
up; floral tokens and designs, $5 and up;

Atlanta, Ga.

The most beautiful season of all the
year, Indian Summer, is with us and its
advent brings the Chrysanthemum in all
its glory. Never before were 'Mums so
plentiful as they are this year and a
hard frost would not be unwelcome as a
curtailer of the excessive supply. We
have had two or three light frosts, but
not enough to affect the outdoor stock.

Amateurs in ever increasing numbers
are getting into outdoor cut flower grow-
ing, including 'Mums, 'Gladioli, Sweet
Peas, Dahlias, Asters, etc., and have
heretofore been encouraged by the store
man who received most of their supply.
They are now producing in such quanti-
ties that the stores cannot use their out-
put and they are disposing of their sup-
ply on the streets and using other sales
methods that are not furthering store
sales. How best to meet this situation is
one of the problems for our Florists Club
and we hope to arrive at some satisfac-
tory solution.

The Market

Oct. 31. — The snappy, cool weath-
er has improved very materially the tone
of the wholesale market and the dealers
report a general cleanup toward the end of
last week. Prices have not advanced and
along some lines, are comparatively low.
Long fancy Roses suffer mostly. The
stock is worth much more than it is bring-
ing considering the quality. Chrysanthe-
mums are in good supply and the demand
has been quite active, in the fancy grades.
Pink varieties are still on the short side.
Some excellent Pompons and ^ Singles are
arriving this week. Carnations are in
better shape. The arrivals in white are
heavy; the colored varieties find a fair
market. Cattleyas are not in abundant
supply just now, but Snapdragon has been
coming in more freely. Sweet Peas are ar-
riving and they meet with a fair_ de-
mand. Some white and yellow Daisies
are about. Valley sales have increased,
due to the many weddings. Price from
$6 to $8 per 100. Easter Lilies are not
in heavy demand or supply. Single Vio-
lets are quoted from 75c. to $1 per 100.
Calendulas are about $3 per 100. Paper-
white Narcissus will likely be with us
next week. All kinds and varieties of
green goods are plentiful.

News Notes

Ed. Herrmann, Jr., reports business in-

improvements to the interior of the green-
house adjoining the store by installing a
large fish pond. The tank is about 25ft.
long and many new kinds of gold fish are
sporting about in the water. There are
also about 400 canaries in the conserva-
tory. These two lines carry a handsome
profit throughout the season.

"VY/HEN you leave the fumigator burning

do its work?

That all depends on the fumigator.

Hall's Nicotine Fumigator

It is guaranteed to contain 12'/2% pure

Fall Plowing

Always to be Recommended

The heavier your soil, the more good
you will do by late Fall plowing and
leaving the surface lay rough over the
Winter. This will help to get the soil
into a mellow condition by next Spring.
There is nothing quite like frost action to
do this, and it sweetens the soil at the
same time. If your soil is of a heavy clay
nature, by all means plow deep this Fall
and if you grow annuals in oft. wide beds,
by plowing now, each bed separately,
throwing the soil toward the center of the
beds leaving the walks depressed, all you
have to do next Spring is to level the
beds over, raking the rough lumps into
the paths and you are ready for sowing
or planting. In many sections of the
country, a wet Spring often prevents one
from getting at the soil early enough,
while such as has been plowed the pre-
vious Fall, can be worked nicely. Any-
thing that will save time in Spring is
well worth consideration. I don't know
but what Fall plowing is as important a
time saver as one could mention. If you
should have on hand stable manure, even
if not well rotted, by all means spread
some before you plow and let the land get
the benefit of it. Fresh horse manure
does not contain as much food value as
that which is well rotted, but it helps to
loosen up heavy soil and that has to be
taken into consideration.

Columbines

For Flowering Under Glass

Why not lift a few Columbines now
from the field and line them into a frame,
to be brought in in early March. Planted
in a cool house in a solid bed and al-
lowed to come along slowly, they will
bloom during the latter part of April and
early May. You will find them desirable
cut flowers. It doesn't matter much what
color they are.

Hardy Delphiniums

Fine for Forcing for Late Spring

Hardy Larkspur, like the Aquilegias,
are splendid for Spring flowering under
glass, but never subject them to a high
temperature nor take anything less than a
two year old field plant; three year old
ones are even better. Planted in a solid
bed by early March or the end of Febru-
ary and given plenty of time, the plants
will produce great spikes in early May,
quite different from anything you have to
offer at that time. There are but few
of your patrons who dislike hardy Lark-
spurs and the Belladonna hybrids are
among the very best.

Clean Houses

No Success Possible Without Them

From now on, keep the houses clean, not
that this shouldn't have been done right
along, but it is about this time, when the
ventilators are closed during night time
and firing is going on that the Carnations,
Koses, Cinerarias, in fact, almost any
stock is apt to become infested with green
fly. Is it less expensive to have a lot of
flowers crippled with green fly than to
fumigate or spray regularly? No matter
what your insecticide costs, use it and
keep the houses clean. Aphis is the fore-
runner of more serious trouble; a plant
weakened by insect pests can't produce
good flowers and won't pay for the room
it takes up. You have to keep it in a
healthy, growing condition, first, last and
all the time. Make it your business to
fumigate or spray, whichever you like
best, not less than once every ten days.
If you have a dose of greenfly, don't let
up until every trace of it is gone, then
keep it away afterward.

Geraniums

If Short on Stock Buy Now

Don't wait until next Spring if you are
short on Geraniums; there is no better

time for securing what you need than
right now, whether you purchase rooted
cuttings or 2in. pot plants. If you sell
Spring bedding stock, grow what you can
yourself; it doesn't pay to have a certain
cut flower crop to follow up the Chrysan-
themums; make a few dollars out of it,
and spend them again later, buying Gera-
niums. A 2in. or 2% in. Geranium bought
now and taken care of, will furnish sev-
eral cuttings up to the first of March and
with just a little attention, 95 per cent
of the cuttings will root and grow into
salable stock by late Spring. If you have
plenty of room, by all means follow your
Chrysanthemums with a cut flower crop.
The benches can be used for small bed-
ding stock early in Spring, but if you are
crowded for room, think of your Gerani-
ums first. If short on plants, take ad-
vantage of the present and stock up; it
will pay you.

Ivy-Leaved Geraniums

Showy Plants Around Memorial Day

We don't use Ivy Geraniums any longer
the way we used to years ago when they
adorned every window box and hanging
basket; other things have taken their
place. They are nevertheless, beautiful
plants, especially when grown as speci-
mens in 5in. or 6in. pots and trained on

Potted Perennials

Prepare a Good Stock for Next Spring

If you are going to retail perennials
next Spring, you no doubt will have good
use for such as are carried in pots. At
its best, the planting season for peren-
nials and biennials is only a short one
in Spring if you have to depend upon
field stock alone. The snow has hardly
disappeared when after a few warm days,
the Columbines, Larkspurs and others are
making active growths, almost before your
patrons have given the purchasing of
such a stock a thought. Another week or
two and it is too late to move the plants
without giving them a severe check. With
a good number of potted plants on hand,
you can plant away into June, even July.
Take up field plants of what you have
on hand now and plant closely into a
frame, or you can purchase stock and heel
it in so as to be able to get at it by the
end of February to be potted up. There
are quite a few varieties which, due to
their size, can be divided so as to be
able to get them into a 3% in. or 4in. pot.
After being potted, they can go back into
a frame and be covered with glass or
boards over the frame, to be removed
in early Spring so as not to force the
•plants into growth. A little freezing
won't hurt them in the least.

Gt /"v T Branch Out and

CI 111 \J1i\ It Do More Business

During no other previous period have greater opportunities presented
themselves for the local florist of the average city or town to branch out
into profitable side lines than there are today.

Plan and work so as to obtain the maximum returns from your green-
houses; build more and better houses, but don't stop at that. Branch out
into landscape gardening; handle shrubs, conifers, perennials, seeds, bulbs,
fertilizers, jardinieres and baskets, even garden furniture. If you find
there is a demand and more money in goldfish than there is in Rubber
plants, push the goldfish, maybe add canaries; you can still handle the
Rubbers,

Things for which there is a demand are the things to go into. Push and
branch out; do more business, better business, under a better system. Give
better service; it will mean better returns. Never before had people more
money, and they are spending it on whatever goes toward making the home
and home grounds more attractive. Get in on it.

a 24in. or 30in. trellis for around Easter.
It is in Spring and early Summer that
these Geraniums are usually a mass of
bloom and the larger the plants, the
more flowers they will have. Such stock
is always admired and can be sold around
Memorial Day without much trouble. Cut-
tings rooted in Fall and grown in a cool
house, kept shifted, will make fine speci-
mens by next Spring. Use good soil and
plenty of drainage. Grow in a cool, rath-
er moist atmosphere. A neat as well as
attractive trellis is easily made, and will
be completely covered by April. Try a
few plants; you will sell them.

Pelargoniums

Great Spring Show Plants

What we know as the show Pelargo-
niums, require about the same treatment
as the Ivy Geraniums and are most use-
ful plants for the retail grower to carry.
Because they don't flower all Summer
doesn't matter; it doesn't make those who
are in want of a plant in full bloom dur-
ing May think less of them. If you find
you have space after the Chrysanthe-
mums go out, you won't make a mistake
in securing well established young stock
of Pelargoniums for growing on into large
specimens. In a cool house they will keep
on growing all Winter and if you keep
them clean by regular spraying or fumi-
gating, you are not likely to be bothered
with green or white fly, that is if the
stock is clean when it reaches you. Easter
Greetings is still one of the best, but
there are quite a number of other beau-
tiful varieties which have appeared since
the introduction of Easter Greetings.

Gladioli at $1000 a Bulb

A. E. Kunderd of Goshen, Ind., is in-
troducing a laciniated type of Gladiolus,
with petals heavily fringed or cut. The
forerunner of this strain is Laciniatus,
and while it will not be offered to the
general public before 1925, a few bulbs
are available to breeders at $1000 each.
The variety is old rose in color. A white
variety, with the form of Primulinus,
is also in being, and the pictorial repre-
sentation of this shows it to be not unlike
a Cattleya.

Raising Orchids on Sugar

The Xovember issue of the Garden Mag-
azine contains an interesting article by
Lewis Knudson of Cornell University.
Prof. Knudson, prompted by the knowl-
edge that orchid seeds do not contain the
food elements found in other seeds, con-
ceived the notion that orchid seeds were
not so dependent upon a certain fungus
for germination, as upon the nutrient
which such fungus provided. He, there-
fore, experimented with a sugar agar in
tubes. Orchid seeds sown in this agar,
and kept in closed tubes, germinated near-
ly 100 per cent. When large enough, the
seedlings were transferred to larger tubes
where they continued to develop for sev-
eral months, after which they were trans-
ferred to pots in the ordinary way. Tubes
of seedlings have been sent through the
mails with perfect results.

It should be mentioned, however, that
this method of raising orchid seed, can
only be carried out by those who have a
complete training in the handling of bac-
teriology research. It calls for special

tubes and sterilization apparatus, but, as;
the method ensures perfect germination
and a quicker growth in the early stages,
it may pay a practical grower to study
the method. Cattleyas, Epidendrums,
Dendrobiums and Phalasnopsis so far have
been successfully handled.

Chrysanthemums and Pumpkins for Hal-
lowe'en.

Henry Seidelich, out Catonsville way,
reports good business. He is planting
50,000 Dutch bulbs this Fall, in addition
to his regular greenhouse line of Chrysan-
themums, Carnations, Geraniums, Lilies
and ferns.

Albert G. Fiedler, our South Charles
st. florist, says the October trade was far
greater than usual. At the greenhouses
they are cutting heavy crops of Chrysan-
themums and Carnations.

Frank B. Sauerwald, an old Balto boy,
was a visitor during the F. T. D. meeting
week. He is the proprietor of the Colo-
nial Flower Shop, Pueblo, Colo. We
were all mighty glad to see him.

Charlie Patterson of Glen Burnie has
been supplying the store on Orleans st.
with some excellent White Turner and
White Jones "'Mums. He is holding back
the Roses and Carnations until after the
Chrysanthemum season.

We had a talk with "Squire" Hamil-
ton about Roses on Tuesday; he is sing-
ing the praises of Angelus as the coming
white Rose. It is a winner with him.

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK

Bangor, Me.

There is still call for bulb and nur-
sery stock, but orders are beginning to
slow up. The temperature has been low
all the week and the sky overcast, with
very little sun. Geo. S. Harris of the
Burr Nursery Co., Manchester, Conn.,
was in town Saturday calling on the trade.
Saturday afternoon he and the writer
made a trip to Bar Harbor, Maine's
great Summer resort, to visit the Bar
Harbor ISTursery. We were very unfortu-
nate not to be able to meet Mr. Dorr,
present manager of the concern, but we
were glad of the opportunity to see one
of the largest and best nurseries, if not
the greatest, in Maine. The greenhouses
are of fine construction and a new propa-
gating house is under construction.

Chadwick, Florist, of Houlton, was in
town Saturday, attending the football
game at the University of Maine in the
afternoon. While in town he visited local
florists. He said that weather conditions
were about the same in Houlton as in
Bangor. He has plenty of coal for the
Winter and has grown a fine block of
Chrysanthemums, having some prize stock
which is netting him a good income. He
also has a good supply of Carnations.

G. S. Seavey & Son are having a good
call for Holland bulbs and potted plants.
They have hundreds of Cleveland Cher-
ries— 5in. and 6in. stock — for their retail
and wholesale trade. They are planning
on developing a nursery business along
with their florist work, and are going to
plant much small stock of Barberry,
Spiriea, Hydrangea and other hardy stock
material next Spring. They have ten

acres of land directly opposite a 300 acre
plot through which an electric road has
just been laid, and which will be devel-
oped next Spring along first class lines.
The establishment will be in a fine posi-
tion to furnish a general line of green-
house and nursery plants for these new
homes.

Kennebunk, Me.

Alexander Burr has recently acquired
the greenhouse establishment of J. 0. El-
well. Apart from a good trade at the
greenhouses, Mr. Burr has a consider-
able amount of landscape work on hand.
The neighborhood around is rich in high
cl ass . Summer residences and they pro-
vide abundance of work, almost more
than can be handled.

Uniontown, Pa. — The Fairchance
Greenhouses, managed by F. A. Morse, who
recently purchased the interests of Wade
Mahoney. have opened their new show
loom at Fairchance.

Dakbury, Conn. — The office build-
ing of Joseph B. Dolan, the florist, was
seriously damaged by fire last week. The
fire apparently started through the over-
heating of the boiler and the fire brigade
had to turn on a powerful stream of
water to get the conflagration under con-
trol. A considerable quantity of glass in
the greenhouses adjoining was broken by
the heat and all the plants nearest the
outbreak were destroyed. The damage
amounted to about $1500, partially cov-
ered bv insurance.

ELDORA-ELDORA

This New, White and Pin\ Variegated

Carnation

has proven so eminently satisfactory in every way that
I shall distribute it to the trade this season, instead
of next, as I had contemplated at first. 1 consider
EL DORA a decided improvement over any varie-
gated Carnation. A truly commercial variety. If I did
not consider it such, I should not undertake to send it
out. It is of good commercial size, very prolific, making
no useless grass, with fine, strong stem, and it will not
split.

ELDORA ships well and is a grand keeper.

Montreal, Que.

Business continues to be good in the
florist stores. Social functions, wedding
commissions and a large amount of funer-
al work keep the help in the stores on
the hop.

The unveiling of the Cross of Sacrifice
function of the Imperial War Graves
Committee used up a large amount of
stock, mostly of Magnolia, Oak and other
preserved leaves made up into wreaths,
crosses, etc. This event took place on
Sunday last, when the Hon. G. P. Gra-
ham, minister of Militia and Defense, as-
sisted by the mayor, bishops and clergy,
representing both the Protestant and Ro-
man Catholic diocese of the Island of
Montreal. This Cross of Sacrifice was
erected on the boundary line dividing the
two cemeteries on our famous Mount Roy-
al with the emblematic double edged sword
of Damocles facing both ways from the
cross and overlooking both Protestant
and Roman Catholic warriors who sleep
their last sleep beneath its outstretched
arms. On either side of the central me-
morial will be an elaborate iron gateway,
only to be used on the occasion of Memo-
rial ceremonies. Many of these crosses
have been erected in various centers of the
Dominion. Mount Royal.

A Contemporary Record of Progress in the Florist, Nursery and
Seed Trade Fields Across the Border

Conducted by W. E. Groves, Hamilton, Ont.

All Canada

F. T. D. A. Notes

That the recent Florists Telegraph Delivery Association meeting at Balti-
more was a huge success is confirmed by the Canadian delegates now returned.
The inspiration of the gatherings, with the hopeful outlook manifest during the
whole conveution or rather "business meeting," is certainly not going to be lost
as far as Canada is concerned. One important district has already arranged
a meeting of all F. T. D. members in that particular area, proposing to discuss
the improving of conditions and service, as well as the formation of a district
unit. At the last two or three conventions of the Canadian Florists and Garden-
ers Association the subject of more popular Canadian representation has been
spoken of, and it has been urged that there be some such application of the real
spirit of democracy as should be possible under the unit system. Without intend-
ing it, probably, the attitude of the Board has given the impression of aloofness,
and those who think really deeply on the matter in the Dominion believe that
the only way to popularize the great movement not only in Canada but in the
British Empire is to be found along some such way as is proposed. There will
certainly be a real awakening if the great broad principle of the elective ap-
pointing of representatives is accepted and acted upon.

Cut Out Planting Poor Fruit Trees

Of interest to nurserymen on both sides of the line is a statement recently
issued by L. F. Burrows, Assistant Dominion Fruit Commissioner, having refer-
ence to the large number of useless varieties of fruits sold each year. It is a
source of real regret that even the commercial growers give little heed to the
advice of the various horticulturists regarding the best varieties to plant. A
perusal of the Fruit Statistics for the year, recently published, reveals the fact
that quantities of varieties absolutely unsuitable to any part of Canada are
being planted. In very definite terms it is pointed out that varieties in which
the yield is light and the quality poor are being sold and the irony of the situa-
tion is that the trash costs more than the good varieties. There is such a strong
feeling on the matter that an urgent request is being made to all fruit growers
to consult the nearest Department representative before placing their orders. The
cooperation of nurserymen is asked for and it certainly is a matter of vital im-
portance to the growers of stock, both in Canada and the United States.

Nursery Progress

Speaking of nurserymen it is pleasing to note that there is every reason to
be satisfied with the volume of business done this Fall. The Ontario firms report
sales quite up to and, in some cases, better than in previous years. Similar
statements come from the Maritime Provinces, while the Great West, through
the president of the Western Nurserymen's Association, T. Torgeson, is quite
optimistic about present conditions and future prospects. There is uo doubt about
the awakened interest shown by the general public in ornamental gardening.
For some years a real educational work has been done by a number of horticul-
tural societies. At the present time even the social and commercial clubs are
asking for speakers to talk up flowers and gardening; a good sign of the times.
Further there is at present a great highway development in Ontario. Good roads
by the mile are stretching out to every part of the Province and that the roads
may be something better than hot, barren and dusty, a forester has been ap-
pointed to supervise the work of planting the whole system. Right now thou-
sands of trees are being put in. this alone being a fine incentive to property
owners to beautify their own places. Travelers into Canada, through Niagara,
will shortly see an avenue from the border to Hamilton, part of this being done
as a memorial. These plantings point to a constantly increasing love for beauty
and is encouraging to the great profession to which we belong.

Sub-Sections Can Care for Special Interests

For some time the retail florists have had a sub-section of the C. F. G. A.
to care chiefly for the interests of that particular branch of the profession.
There is now a movement on foot to establish a gardener's sub-section to meet
the needs of those who are engaged chiefly at private gardening. Up to the
present time Canada has not sufficient numbers in any one branch of the trade
to form separate societies, even if that were desirable, but the national associa-
tion is so constituted that separate sub-sections may be formed, caring for each
particular interest, though still having behind it the weight of the association.
The problems of the gardener are many and varied. He is a much abused and
badly paid member of the community, and it is hoped that, through this new
development, he may find the place in the life of the country that he himself
and his work richly deserve. Both the Montreal and Toronto districts are
specially interested in the project, which is likely to materialize in the near
future.

John H. Dunlop, Toronto and Rich-
mond Hill, Ont., has just returned from
Montreal, where he was in attendance at
the Supreme Council of the Ancient and
Accepted Order of the Scottish Rite. He
received the thirty-third or the last de-
gree of Masonry. G. C. K.

Pittsburgh, Pa.

The Market

Business in this section is about
normal for this time of the year. It could
be better and it could be worse, but at
that we have nothing to kick about. Stock

is plentiful, but not so plentiful that it
has to be given away, and the quality of
all items is of the best.

The supply of Roses has been sufficient,
but more than likely it will tighten up
from now on, as some of the larger" grow
ers are pinching for a Christmas crop.
Most of the Roses seen are of midseason
quality, but they run mostly to the longer
grades with not enough short and medium
lengths. Premier,, Columbia, Mme. But-
terfly, Ophelia, Sunburst, Pilgrim, Celes-
tial, American Legion, Richmond, An-
gelus, and Double White Killarney are
the varieties arriving. Am. Beauty are
not in heavy supply, which is just as

well, for the demand for them is not
great during 'Mum season.

'Mums now dominate the market and
are in heavy supply and from all reports
will remain that way until Thanksgiv-
ing. They are running mostly to medium
sized stock that wholesale at from $1.59
to $4 per doz. with some larger ones at
$6. Pompons are just beginning to ar-
rive and can be had in all shades at from
35c. to 75c. per bunch.

The supply of Carnations falls short of
the demand, but the quality is improv-
ing fast, and some fine stock is arriving
with good stems.

More Lilies could be handled, but most
of the Lily growers fight shy of the 'Mum
season, as they have gotten stung several
times. A few Snaps are seen, but not in
any quantity. Sweet Peas are also seen
in small lots.

Orchids have been arriving in good
shape and cleaning up daily; Valley has
also been a good seller. -

All the outdoor stock with the exception
of hardy 'Mums are now a thing of the
past; several heavy frosts put them all
out of business, and it would not be a
bad thing if it got the hardy 'Mums also
and gave the indoor Pompons a chance, as
they will be in heavy supply from now on.

Greens have been arriving in quantity
and a large variety, including cut ferns,
Plumosa, Sprengeri, Adiantum, Coontie
leaves, Leucothce, Galax and Mexican Ivy.

News Notes

E. J. McCallum, who has just re-
turned from a three months' European
trip, will address the next Florists and
Gardeners Club meeting on conditions
over there as he saw them, and as Mr.
McCallum is very observing, he should
have some very interesting things to tell
us.

Pittsburgh's annual Chrysanthemum
show will open at the city parks on Sun-
day, Oct. 29, and this year's show prom-
ises to eclipse all others. Mr. Jones of
Schenley Park will have about 5000
blooms on display, while Mr. Moore of
West Park promises to show about 4000
blooms.

E. C. Tipton of the McCallum Co. is in
the East visiting the growers of that sec-
tion, who consign to the company.

Glen Bros., Glenwood Nursery, Roches-
ter, N. Y., have opened an office at Pitts-
burgh, at 207 Fulton Bldg., Federal st.
and Duquesne way. This office will deal
with the increasing amount of business
which affects the landscape department
of Glen Bros. E. C. T.

Lancaster, Pa.

Retail Notes

Oct. 25. — With outdoor flowers out
of commission, the stores are gradually
picking up business that formerly went
to the markets. Walter Hammond tells
me that one of the commission men on a
visit to Lancaster, wondered how the reg-
ular flower stores could continue in busi-
ness in a city of this size. Harry Schroyer
used to say: "I am getting a mighty good
living out of the store and if I can put
a little back as a reserve each season,
why worry?" This pretty nearly repre-
sents the situation here. If the stores
were each striving for wealth, they would
soon give up the struggle, for while we
are a flower loving people, the market
competition keeps down any visions of
wealth.

Chrysanthemums are, of course, the
flower of the day and rightly so if the
grower does not spoil it by making the
day too long. It has always seemed to
me a mistaken idea, this endeavor of the
grower to get 'Mums into the market a
month earlier and then to try and keep
them in a month or two later. I believe
that for the good of both grower and re-
tailer, it would be better to have the 'Mum
season short and snappy. At the present
time 'Mums are moving freely at good
prices. Pompons are popular on account
of the great variety in colors and the
fact that the public taste has in a large
measure switched from the idea of size to
the idea of color and grace. Then, again,
the buyer gets a little more for his
money in the Pompon class. Retailers in
other lines are working up this end of
the business and it behooves the florist
to get into line and give a little more
for the customer's money.

Around About

Jos. Clerico is cutting some of the
best Chrysanthemums coming to the Lan-
caster market. He is a living example of
what the possibilities of this business are.
Just what his early history is I do not
know, but he came from sunny Italy not
so many years ago and finally drifted into
the employ of the B. F. Barr Co., whom
he served faithfully for some years.
Awhile back he started in business for
himself. That he has made a success is
attested by the fact that he is constantly
making improvements and has recently
bought a handsome delivery truck. Today
he is in class A among the growers around
Lancaster. I might add that part of
this success is due to the faithful assist-
ance of Mrs. Clerico.

Do not imagine that the grower's road
to wealth is an easy one. It takes all that
comes in to meet the increased costs of
production and when the cost of produc-
tion increases as it has the past twelve
months and the receipts decrease during
the same period, it means mighty hard
work and long days for the grower to
make even a decent living.

Mr. and Mrs. Edgar visited the stores
of Lancaster on their way home from a
Western trip, selling their various lines
of flower store supplies. They report
business good, especially so from Chicago
East.

Walter Markley, sales and advertising
manager of the B. F. Barr Co., made a
pilgrimage to Harrisburg for his Shrine
membership this week. Albert M. Hebr.

News Notes

Oct. 29. — There has been a good
demand for all kinds of cut flowers and
the retailers report good business. In
general, 'Mums are the predominating
flowers and they are selling well from
$2.50 up to $6 per doz.

Cap and Gown Day at the Elmira Wom-
en s College last week accounted for a
large demand of cut flowers. It may be
noted that Elmira Women's College is
the oldest college in the United States.

Proceedings of 1920 and 1921

The appearance of this little volume is
somewhat belated, but it serves as a
record of the doings of the society during
the years under notice, and also provides
the papers, etc., presented to the annual
meetings. A portrait of S. S. Pennock
appears as a frontispiece, followed by
that of Earl H. Mann, president for
1922. A list of the varieties registered
and a review of the examining commit-
tee's work during the two years are also
given, as well as a complete list of mem-
bers.

Registrations

The following seedling was submitted
to the committee at Chicago, on Oct. 21,
by Elmer D. Smith & Co., Adrian, Mich.:
Irene, Pompon, white, 86 points. The
same variety was dealt with by the com-
mittee at Cincinnati, O., on Oct. 28, when
it gained 88 points.

Newark (N. J.) Fall Show

Tha organizers of the recent success-
ful Dahlia Show have decided to hold a
Fall exhibition in the near future at the
Rubber Tree, Newark. Plans are not
yet complete, but a nice little exhibition
is anticipated. We might mention that
a regular society has been formed and
Secretary Sacks anticipates that greater
Newark will, in the near future, lo
large as a horticultural center.

RETAIL florists are a pretty live bunch.
They are generally good business
men. They have to be. I wonder if
very many of them have stopped to think,
however, that potted foliage plants and
potted evergreens aren't so very far apart?
They aren't.

The profit to the retail florist handling
evergreens should be a welcome addition
to the yearly balance sheet.

No. The idea isn't new. This article is
just an attempt to give the retailers an
idea of what can be done.

They have the field to themselves — ever-
greens in the city. Nurserymen — even re-
tail nurserymen— don't as a general rule
have stores on Broadway, Fifth ave. and
Michigan blvd.

EvergTeens as Foliage Plants

Let's consider them from that viewpoint
first. Do they fill the bill? They do. Fine
texture — good color — unique form — and
everlasting. It is quite startling for a
minute to think of evergreens indoors, bat
a glance at the accompanying photograph
of a restaurant lounge will show a group-
ing certainly effective and unique.

And everybody wants a Christmas tree.
Why not a live one? If the retail florists
got behind this idea there'd be something
doing in the trade this Winter.

Here's your proposition to the man in the
street. Why not buy a potted evergreen?
Stick it on the table or on the floor and
it's an ornament. Trim it up the 25th of
December and it's a Christmas tree. Plant
it in your yard or on your lawn or stick it
on your front steps and it's a landscape planting. It
seems to me there are sales here for the go-getter.

Evergreens and Architecture

The age old plaint of the city dweller has been that
moving into the city means losing the beauties of the
country. But of late the idea of moving the beauties
of the country right into the city has taken firm hold,
rooted and sprouted. Our boulevards are a mass of
green. Our streets are planted with trees. Our front
yards are lawns. The most cherished possession of
the modern city is its park system.

There's the idea. Here's how to use it. Sell youv
customer potted evergreens to stick on his doorstep —
to place along his drive — to set in on his lawn. Teach
him to bring beauty into the city with him. He buys
your flowers for that very reason. Why not other
products of the ornamental horticulturist?

Window Boxes

The accompanying photograph of a window box
of evergreens gives an excellent idea of what can be
done to improve the city building. Note the tremen-
dously increased value of the arched window and
supporting columns.

Nothing but evergreens could do this, because the
effect is needed in Winter — not Summer. And, inci-
dentally, the velvet texture of the evergreen (visual
impressions alone considered, of course) is unsur-
passed in its harmony with gray building stone.

Flower boxes in Summer are all very well. There
is a nice bit of business there. But in Summer thert
are few of the florists' best customers in town. In
Winter they are all there. Why not sell the window-
box idea for Winter as well — filled with evergreens?

All shades and textures and shapes may be ob-
tained. From deep blue to golden green and from
the rugged Blue Spruce to the Juniper. And the
whole of the nursery trade will be glad to sell retail
florists1— most of them at wholesale rates.

Are you in the game for all there is in it? If not,
why not?

"wonderful improvement to city buildings is the window box
filled with evergreens

Selling Pointers

Probably you don't need any, but bear with me
while I sketch what evergreens could mean in the
city — artistically. You have a naked stone doorway.
On each side you place a tall slender minaret of
velvet green. That is door planting.

Perhaps you place a formal ball or pyramid ever-
green on a lower step. Perhaps you favor this or
that variety. The ar-
tistic effect of the ever-
greens at the door re-
mains.

In the hall, inside,
you can frame the head
of the staircase with
Junipers, or bank a
doorway with a few
well chosen evergreens
— all in pots, clean and
neat.

And so throughout
the house. Not only do
they please in appear-
ance, but the gentle
aromatic perfume is a
distinct drawing card.

But why continue?
There are a thousand
uses suggested in a mo-
ment— a treatment for
this lobby — for that din-
ing room — for hotel in-
teriors— for the lounge
— for the office — for the
theatre.

Good ideas are scarce
— new or old. Maybe
this is the very stuut
you have been looking
for to land you some of
that decorating busi-
ness. Perhaps it would
just suit your class of
trade. Think it over.

Of the three hybrid Cratajgo-Mespilus
cultivated in our gardens Asnieres's Thorn
is the most ornamental as a specimen lawn
tree.

It originated as a graft hybrid in the
garden of M. Dardar, at Bronvaux, near
Metz (seeGardeners' Chronicle, page 185,
Sept. 9, 19111, being first noticed in 1894.
This gentleman had a Medlar (Mespilus
germanica) grafted on the Hawthorn (Cra-
taegus monogyna). Just below the point of
union between the stock and scion two
shoots had developed, showing intermediate
characters between the Hawthorn and
Medlar. There was also a marked differ-
ence in the individual characters of the
leaves on the two shoots. Propagated by
grafting, the one having only entire leaves
was named C. M. Dardari, and the second,
with both entire and lobed laeves on the
same shoot, forms the subject of this note.
A deciduous tree of bushy habit, with
age probably 20ft. to 25ft. high. C.-M. As-
uieresii produces quantities of white blos-
soms, %in. across, in corymbs of 6 to 10
of 12 flowers. With age they change to a
rose tint. In some nursery catalogs the
tree is listed as Crataegus M. Jules d'As-
nieres.

C.-M. Dardari is of exceptional interest
to the botanical student, as it produces on
the same tree three and sometimes four dis-
tinct types of flowers and fruits. The large
solitary flower of the Medlar (Mespilus
germanica), typical C.-M. Dardari with
white flowers l%in. across, in corymbs of
6 to S or 10 flowers ; sprays of C.-M. As-
nieresii. and the Common Hawthorn (Crataegus mono-
gyna ) .

The third hybrid, Crataego-Mespilus grandiflora
(syns. Mespilus Smithii, De Candolle and Pyrus lo-
bata, Nicholson) is presumed to be a natural hybrid
between the Hawthorn and Medlar. It is found wild
in France. — Gardeners' Chronicle, London.

Seattle (Wash.) Nursery Notes

The outlook for the coming season
among local nurserymen is very promis-
ing. Both advanced inquiries and book-
ings are much heavier than at this time
last year. The demand for ornamentals
throughout the State (Wash.) appears
on the up grade, and apparently is the
natural result of the building boom, which
is now going on locally. City records
state that in the first eight months of
1922, Seattle has invested more money
in buildings than in any previous year
of its history, excepting 1919. Up to
Oct. 1, building permits in the city have
represented $14,482,505. A high percent-
age of this is for homes. New homes
mean, in the majority of cases, more gar-
dens; more gardens mean more orna-
mental, fruit and flower planting. Cer-
tain it is that this season's work has
opened up with a rush. Local nursery-
men have already made shipments to
Spokane, Yakima and parts of Idaho,
whilst local landscape architects and
gardeners report brisk business.

Specimen evergreens and other orna-
mentals are not too plentiful, but medium
sized and small stock are in fairly good
supply. Hardy perennials are in good
supply locally. In fruit, Sour Cherries
are in good demand; on this coast pref-
erence being given to two and three year
old trees. This also applies to a less
extent to1 other tree fruits. The small
home gardener wants results, and is in
very many cases not willing to wait years
for his trees to come into bearing. We
have no difficulty in selling Apples and
Pears, and even Plums, five to six years
old, and thanks to our Winter climate
absolutely no difficulty in transplanting
even fruit bearing trees. _ Of course
there is absolutely no comparison between
our local prevailing planting conditions
and mid-west or eastern conditions.
Critics kindly note.

In flowering shrubs and deciduous trees,
the supply is fairly plentiful and should
be sufficient to take care of the demands.

I note from a local paper a statement
by the superintendent of the Government
Bulb Farm at Bellingham that a new
100ft. greenhouse and workroom is to be
built shortly. We may get those belated
bulb forcing trials after all, if too much
space is not devoted to foreign fruit in-
troductions. We may even get a plant
pathologist, what? There's room tor a
good one anytime. Geo. Cooper.

Notes from Cornell (N. Y.)
University

Carl Engelmann of Saffron Walden,
England, recently spent, three days at the
College of Agriculture. Professor White
was very glad to reciprocate in this small
way the cordial popularity extended to
him by Mr. Engelmann during his Euro-
pean trip last year. One evening Mr. En-
gelmann talked informally to the Cornell
Floricultural Club on flower growing con-
ditions in South America. The nest even-
ing he lectured to the class in commer-
cial floriculture on "Carnation Culture in
England." During his visit Professor
Nehrling gave a complimentary luncheon
to Mr. Engelmann at the Town and Gown
Club, having as his guests the staff of the
Department of Floriculture and Ornamen-
tal Horticulture, also other guests in-
terested in horticultural work.

Another substitute for glass. "Woolgatherer" has
located a material which looks better than anything
of its kind he has ever handled. We hope to learn
more about it. At present, the material is not being
made commercially.

The Redwoods League offices in the Library Build-
ing, University of California, Berkeley, Cal., reports
that interest in the movement to save California's
gigantic trees is steadily increasing among influential
people and organizations. People are awakening to
a realization that these trees, one of the marvels of
the world, must be cared for now or perish for all
time.

There have been, and will be, larger, more effective
and more important Chrysanthemum shows than that
of the Department of Agriculture which was open to
the public this past week. But in the matter of neat,
uniform labeling, it set a standard that any exhibi-
tion could be proud to attain. The name in each case
was printed from type of a size easily read and pleas-
ing, on a plain white card perhaps two inches by four,
and this was attached to the plant with a wire well
up on the stem where it could be clearly seen. One
observer suggested that a green card with white let-
tering would be more harmonious for a plant display,
which is probably true but legibility, uniformity and
neatness being pretty satisfactory criteria, the method
above outlined certainly made good. From an educa-
tional standpoint something might have been gained
by noting on each card the type as well as the name
of the variety and, in the case of seedling plants, the
names of the parents, but we don't want to appear
to want everything at once. Incidentally, the plants
— both standard (disbudded) sorts and bush forms —
were admirably placed as to both relative heights and
color variations.

Matter of Taste. — She — "What color is best for a bride?'
—"I prefer a white one myself." — The Boys' Magazine*

The Bulb Conference

The first real fruits of the Plant Quarantine Con-
ference of last May have ripened in the form of the
bulb conference called by the F. H. B. for Oct. 30.
While it might be cynical and unkind to suggest that
the after taste of this particular fruit is somewhat
reminiscent of that of an overripe Kieffer pear or Ben
Davis apple, the fact remains that there is apparently
no wholesome substantial result into which one might
set his teeth with satisfaction.

The Board was never more specific than in its fre-
quently repeated statements that the purpose of Quar-
antine 37 and the intention of the Board is to reduce
as rapidly and completely as possible the volume of
plant importations. Never were hairs more minutely
split than when, after vigorously denying any inten-
tion of protecting any industry, Chairman Marlatt
sought corroboration of the theory that the lifting
of the ban on certain bulbs would react injuriously
upon those growers who had taken up certain lines
after Qu. 37 was imposed as a result of its stimulat-
ing effect. Rarely has there been a more farcical
proceeding than the "pruning" of the list of bulbs (for
which admission was asked in a petition signed by
more than 50 tradesmen) by a system of viva voce
acclamation in which the man who shouted loudest
among three or four carried the day.

As is almost inevitable in the course of four hours
of vigorous discussion, interesting light was thrown
upon certain phases of the situation. Certainly it
ought now be clear to everyone present at the con-
ference that there is a long gap between the buld
shipment imported under permit for propagation pur-
poses and the availability on the open market at
reasonable prices of domestic grown progeny of those
bulbs suitable for home growing or for forcing under
glass by florists. What does it avail the ultimate
consumer if the importer plants his bulbs and finds it
so profitable to sell the cut flowers that he is totally
indifferent to the question of selling the bulbs later
on — which, incidentally, after such treatment would
rarely be of value for forcing?

There remains much to be explained about the let-
ter of the California Association of Nurserymen sent
to the Secretary of Agriculture early in May, recently
discovered and given publicity and, now, according
to Dr. Marlatt, repudiated by the organization as the
unauthorized act of one or a few individuals. Why
was it sent in the first place? Why was it not repu-
diated sooner — inasmuch as it was given publicity,
at least in part, in the Washington press early in the
Summer? And why, since there was apparently at
first no question of its authenticity and official weight
was its existence practically denied in the F. H. B.
document of June 30? But, after all, as the doctor
did not hesitate to point out, this is hardly germane
to the subject of bulbs and the bulb conference.

The important thing is that a group of legitimate
business men gathered in Washington to present a
petition, to ask relief from unendurable hampering
of their trade activities, hampering for which as yet
real justification does not appear to have been shown.
Almost there was a feeling of humiliation at the
thought of these men appearing before a group of
employees of the Federal Government like a body of
almsmen, soliciting such crumbs of favor and per-
mission as might be vouchsafed to them, so that they
might offer for sale to the public those commodities
which in themselves are not only harmless but pro-
ductive of pleasure and benefit, and which only in
rare instances are found to be the unintentional car-
riers of injurious parasites, not already well estab-
lished throughout this country.

Acknowledging the desirability of the protection
sought for the country as a whole (and which the
F. H. B. was created to provide, so that horticulture
might be fostered, not stifled) ; expressing hearty
willingness to cooperate in every way ; ready and
anxious to purchase domestic supplies if they can be
made available in the required quality ; desirous only
of contributing to the further distribution of those
plants in which man finds pleasure and benefit — these
men voluntarily pruned and pared down almost to the
bone their initial requests, simply that they might
stand a better chance of generous treatment — or shall
we say just, deserved treatment? — in connection with
the remaining minority of materials.

What will result? The answer is in the lap of the
gods — and the F. H. B.

Amateur Interests and the Trade

The Exchange is exclusively a trade paper, we-
can hear someone saying ; then why does it give space
to an account of the Washington meeting of the
Garden Club of America, purely and simply an ama-
teur organization?

The answer is easy. Amateurs are consumers of
the materials handled by the trade. By serving them
well, yes and by anticipating their wants and tenden-
cies, the trade can increase the numbers of those-
who buy and the sum total of their orders. But to
do these things the men who want to sell to them
must become familial' with their aims, problems, ten-
dencies and point of view.

The more you know about a person, the easier it is
to approach him with the sort of appeal that will
bring orders, and then other orders. The Exchange,
therefore, considers it well within its province to keep
the trade informed as to what is being done by the-
big, national garden organizations, the groups of
men and women who are leading and directing the
activities of amateur growers, who help to set the
styles and develop the tendencies along planting and
buying lines.

The suggestion is that you read the report of the
Garden Club's meeting, and from now on endeavor to
keep closer in touch with and better informed about
those who make your market.

Armistice Day — A Day of Remembrance

The spirit of Armistice Day has undergone a
change — a change that holds nothing but good for the
florist trade. For a year or two it was regarded
mainly as a celebration of victory, of the triumph
over militarism and Teuton domination by the forces
of humanity and world progress. But gradually, as
the war has receded into the past, the thought has
been rather to let Nov. 11 serve as a day of remem-
brance of those who made it possible; to dedicate it
to the preservation and growth of an international
policy that will forever prevent a recurrence of sucb
sacrifices as were made from 1914 to 191S.

Where, then, one might ask, is the difference be-
tween Armistice Day and Memorial Day? Primarily.
it seems to us, in the underlying thought. The senti-
ment of May 30 is one of sad, proud resignation, of
acceptance of what is past ; that of Armistice Day,
on the other hand, is one of grief "swallowed up in
victory," of hope and determination that good shall
rise out of the ashes of past bereavements.

And even if the two are still similar, in general
appeal, is there not room in every year for two days
of tribute to fallen heroes? They are six months
apart, they occur at wholly dissimilar seasons, each
offers a wholly distinct type of floral supplies with
which to carry out the idea.

However, the thought here to be emphasized is that
there is a special sentiment — of hope of upbuilding,
of progress — to be associated with Armistice Day in
addition to its more tender symbolism. It is for
retail florists, perhaps more than the members of any
other trade, to bring this sentiment to the attention
of the public and then to show the public how it can
perfectly express that sentiment with flowers.

The idea is big, ennobling, unselfish. Flowers are
supremely suited for its elaboration. Your opportu-
nity is broad, attractive, direct 'and simple as such
problems go. Let your efforts through window dis-
plays and other special publicity help to make Armis-
tice Day 1922 an occasion of greater worth, greater
achievement, greater significance than that of any
that has ever gone before.

Packing Plants for Shipment

The packing of plants and flowers for shipment is
an art and one not by any means so carefully studied
as it should be. Heads of any concern, small or
large which ventures to advertise, ought first of all,
to study packing methods and convince themselves
that goods they ship will, under the adverse condi-
tions of mails or express, go through with the mini-
mum of hurt. Some people who might well know
better, have at times, sent us plants for inspection in
thin boxes without any form of packing to keep the
subjects firm and moist.

Both cut bloom and plants must be packed tight;
if any one desires a lesson, let them pack a few plants
in an ordinary box as they think will ensure good
traveling; then for a couple of days make a point of
occasionally picking up the box and throwing it a
few feet around the storage shed. The weak points of
I racking will then be visible. Never forget that pack-
ages closed tight get rougher treatment than those
with slatted tops which show the class of contents ;
the packing should, therefore, be of the best.

We are prompted to make these remarks through
the experience of our Kalamazoo correspondent. His
pleasure is due to the fact that he purchased from

November 4, 1922.

The Florists Exchange

a firm which is used to the packing methods adopted
for export.

We might mention that an English nurseryman re-
cently had a unique experience of the vitality of nur-
sery stock when well packed. As is well known, Carl
Engelmann ships Carnation plants to all parts of the
world including Brazil and New Zealand with great
success, but the instance referred to, relates to some
fruit trees and shrubs shipped to Portugal on Jan. 30
last. Through various causes, the consignment did
not reach its destination till April 12, 72 days after
packing. The Pear trees were blooming in the case
and, despite the bitter and unusual winds which
stripped the Orange groves at Oporto, the trees and
shrubs survived, only one Gooseberry and one Rasp-
berry cane failing. The remainder not only grew,
but many of them fruited. This not only shows the
vitality of plants, but it demonstrates that with
proper packing, there need be but small loss under
ordinary delivery conditions.

New Books

Plant Materials of Decorative Gardening. The
Woody Plants. — Second Edition. Revise d.
Wm. Trelease.

Many books have been compiled by our leading
States which assist us in determining the names and
characteristics of our native trees, but there has been
a need for a key to be used for determining the tree
as well as the shrubs used for ornamental gardening.
Three years ago Dr. Wm. Trelease of the University
of Illinois devised such a key and it has been a
standard for nurserymen, landscape architects and
students of plant materials.

Now, Dr. Trelease has corrected many of the minor
errors and has made the book more usable by ampli-
fying the text and giving page references in the key
so that one may turn readily from the key to the
systematic discussion of the species.

With this book and "Winter Botany," a companion
volume of the author's, one may determine the genus
and species of nearly all the commonest trees and
shrubs at any season of the year. This latter book
classifies the plants primarily upon Winter bud and
twig characters as seen in Winter, whereas the pres-
ent book of which we write deals principally with
bark, twig, leaf, fruit and flower characteristics.

Tennessee State Florists Association

The next convention of this will be held in Nash-
ville on Nov. 13 and 14. Headquarters will be the
Hermitage Hotel where the meeting will be held in
the Assembly Room and the floral display made in
the loggia. The Tennessee State Florists Association
now has a membership of 251 and has a reputation
of being one of the most active State associations of
florists in the South. The regular convention calls
out an attendance of some 200 of the leading florists
not only from the Southern but many of the Western,
Northern and Eastern States. Features of the com-
ing convention will be the trade exhibits and the
flower show. A strong program has been prepared
and the coming convention bids fair to be the best
ever held in the nine years of the organization. The
present officials are Harold Joy, Nashville, Tenn.,
president; G. M. Bentley, Knoxville, Tenn., secretary-

Impressions of Europe's Horticulture

Growers in Sad Straits, says C. L. Seybold — Need
U. S. Trade and Have Valuable New Plants to Offer

WE are in receipt of an interesting letter from
C. L. Seybold, Park Superintendent of Wilkes-
Barre, Pa., who has recently returned from a
ten weeks' trip through Europe. Mr. Seybold writes
as follows :

"I am glad to note in a recent issue the recommen-
dations of the Californian nurserymen urging modifi-
cations of Qu. 37. I have just returned from Europe
where, naturally, I heard many expressions of regret
on account of the inability of European florists and
hybridizers to send their plants to the United States.
Many new creations of exceptional value to American
horticulture are to be seen in France, Germany and
other countries. Moreover, the florists in Germany
and Belgium are in dire straits just now with no
coal and no business.

Among those I met were our old friend, Paul Pfit-
zer and also Adolph Ernst, florist and hybridizer of
Stuttgart.

"1 attended four flower shows in Berlin, Munich,
Stuttgart and Venice, enjoying- every minute of my
Stay in all these places. A visit to Paris and the
French battlefields was most interesting and I located

the section where my nephew, George V. Seybold of
Washington, D. C, fell while with the American
Aviation Corps."

In the course of Mr. Seybold's report of his trip to
the mayor and City Council of Wilkes-Barre, he says,
"The great European seed distributing centre seems
to be Erfurt, Germauy, especially for flowers, medi-
cinal and economic plants. The seed and plant pro-
ducers complain bitterly at the very low money value
and at the scarcity of coal and customers. They say-
that the world is heavily indebted to the honest
seedsman. Our American seedsmen have often stated
that to permit the distribution of uniform seeds at
the present time comes perilously near to being crim-
inal.

"I cannot understand why our Government does
not permit certain plant importations from France,
Holland, Belgium and Germany. I have been unable
to discover any fungi or insect pests on any of their
plants and their soils are kept exceedingly clean.
They say over there, 'Watch the Japanese and other
oriental importations ; therein lies the real danger. "

Local Cut Flower Conditions and Their Causes

In connection with our reporting of market condi-
tions we recently prepared and sent for criticism to-
certain correspondents a suggested tabular list of flo-
rist stocks. From one large Middle Western city comes
word that it would not get conditions there at all,
since the local trade finds no call for American
Beauty. American Legion. Crusader, Cecile Brunner
or Hadley Roses, handling only Premier. Mme. But-
terfly and Columbia at this time. Orchids are also
"taboo" because of the impossible price — the result
partly of the "abominable tariff," and partly of quar-
antine restrictions.

While the latter mentioned causes are outside the
range of trade control, is it not possible that the
lack of demand for certain Rose varieties of gener-
ally accepted superiority is due in large part to the
fact that no one is growing them locally and, also
in large measure, to the failure of retailers to edu-
cate the public into demanding them?

The Red Cross

The roll call, which will begin on Armistice Day.
Nov. 11, and close with Thanksgiving Day., Nov. 30,
will be notable this year in the marshalling of forces
throughout the world for an advance toward a set
objective, which is "Every American Everywhere a
Member of the Red Cross." Under the leadership
of John Barton Payne, chairman of the American
Red Cross, it is to be an intensive campaign from
start to finish.

Greatest Mother Summons Her Children

An allegorical concept of the Red Cross as a peace time ideal is em-
ployed by the American Red Cross in this new and striking poster for
the forthcoming Annual Red Cross Roll Call. Spread out before the
heroic size figure is the outline of the United States with a Red Cross
superimposed upon it, while around its borders are sketched scenes
depicting the chief activities of the Red Cross today — service to
disabled veterans of the World War, disaster relief and promotion of
the public health. The poster is the work of Lawrence Wilbur, a
New York artist and will be displayed throughout the country during
the enrollment of the Red Cross membership for 1923.

In joining the Red Cross this year the new member,
as well as the old member renewing his membership,
will receive a certificate of membership designed to
fit a purse or card case in addition to the white
button bearing the symbolic cross in red. This certifi-
cate is the stub of a filing card adopted by the Red
Cross for the first complete system of registration of
members in all the 3300 active chapters. The cards
containing names, addresses and classes of member-
ship will be retained as permanent records by the
chapters and as lists whereby it will be possible in
the future for the Red Cross to keep in touch with
its members for all emergencies, whether local, State
or National.

This roll call will be the only appeal that the
national organization will make during the year, and
is for the purpose of maintaining its membership at
such a point as will enable it to perform those duties
which are placed upon it by Congress.

Armistice Day, Saturday, Nov/ 11

That notable Nov. 11, 1918, when the Armistice
was signed, brought to a close, as far as the actual
fighting was concerned, the terrible World War. Not,
however, until decades have passed will the evil
effects of that cruel war cease to be felt.

In the Great War many Americans who crossed the
seas to help their English and French brothers "save
the world for democracy" kept, on the battlefields and
in the hospitals of France, a "rendezvous with death."

Alan Seeger's poem, "I Have a Rendezvous with
Death," which we are able to present through the
courtesy of Charles Scribner's Sons, the publishers of
a volume of poems by Mr. Seeger, has been pro-
nounced one of the greatest poems brought out by
the World War. We may add that Alan Seeger him-
self during this war kept his "Rendezvous with
Death."

I Have a Rendezvous with Death

Alan Seeger
(Bom. June 22, 18S8 ; Died July 4, 1916)

I have a rendezvous with Death

At some disputed barricade

When Spring comes round with rustling shade
And Apple blossoms fill the air.

I have a rendezvous with Death
When Spring brings back blue days and fair.

It may be he shall take my hand
And lead me into his dark land

And close my eyes and quench my breath ;
It may be I shall pass him, still,

I have a rendezvous with Death
On some scarred slope of battered hill,

When Spring comes round again this year

And the first meadow flowers appear.

God knows 'twere better to be deep

Pillowed in silk and scented down,
Where love throbs out in blissful sleep,

Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath,
Where hushed awakenings are dear . . .

But I've a rendezvous with Death
At midnight in some flaming town,
When Spring trips north again this year,

And I to my pledged word am true,

I shall not fail that rendezvous.

The Florists Exchange

Morris County (N. J.) Gardeners
and Florists Society

26th Annual Show, Oct. 26, 27 and 28

It has long been conceded that the Morris County-
Fall Show is one of the finest exhibitions held in the
East. Indeed, not a few would have it that no other
show approached it in the years that are past, and
raaybe it is no exaggeration, for not only was the
show well supported by many first-class gardeners,
but the trade growers of the county took a pleasure
in staging masses of bloom, particularly Roses.

It would be idle, however, to say that the 26th
exhibition was equal to some that have gone beyond :
it fell short of that of last year by a considerable
margin and for several reasons. Last year, every-
body was keyed up as it were, to celebrate the quar-
ter century in fitting style. A score or more cups were
to be had for asking and the gardening fraternity
dearly loves the chance of securing a silver cup, even
though there be nothing to fill it with. On this oc-
casion cups were fewer, hut still numerous.

The season has not been at all satisfactory, par-
ticularly for Chrysanthemums. All varieties have
shown backwardness and as a result big Japs, and In-
curves were neither so plentiful nor so good as usual.
It is possibly true that big blooms are not so freely
grown as formerly ; tastes have changed somewhat
and owners of greenhouses perhaps prefer the decora-
tive Singles and spray varieties. In England the
same trend has been visible for years, although the
decorative or commercial class of bloom has per-
haps advanced to take the place of the big fellows.
The 4in. to 6in. flowers of this type are more to the
liking of aesthetic tastes and maybe, too, they are
more profitable to both the commercial and private
grower, as eight to twelve blooms may be obtained
with the same ease as three big flowers, perhaps
easier. Big flowers will probably never hold the
place they did, but their falling off need cause no
great regrets if the smaller type is catered for at
shows. When one reads that an English specialist
who, years ago, used to stage big exhibits of giant
blooms has. this year, set up the smaller types by tbe
hundred instead of dozens as with large blooms it is
easy to understand why reports are to the effect that
his displays are more wonderful than ever. Dozens
of varieties set up in fifties or hundreds cannot but
appeal more to the general public than smaller num-
bers of the big mops.

But to get back to our muttons; the Morris County
Gardeners & Florists Society apart from contending
with the season had also to shake itself into a new
order of things. The old brigade which for 25 years
had worked so hard to make things go. felt it was
entitled to a rest and therefore turned over the main
executive work to younger hands. To the latter's
credit they kept the flag flying pretty well. True, the
old hands were on the spot; Arthur Herrington once
again took the position of show manager and Ed.
Reagan, while rendering service as a judge, could
give Secretary Fred Piper any needed hints. Of
course, Chas. Totty, W. Rickards, Jr., and Wm. Duck-
ham were also around, while the judges were all old
timers who know Morris Countly shows like a book.
Apart from Ed. Reagan there were Wm. Waite, Wm.
Turner, John Canning, Peter Duff, Frank H. Traendly
and Andrew Strachan, truly a galaxy of the genus
"ponica."

The display at the armory was laid out somewhat
differently from last year ; the table decorations were
entirely cut out on the first day, these being held over
as an attraction for the second day. This writer is not
able to state whether they served to attract a greater
crowd than on the first day. The attendance during
the afternoon and early, evening was decidedly
meager; perhaps the chilly wind made people charr
of turning out. We might add that those who did
attend, did not find the unheated hall conducive to a
long stay even to listen to the orchestra which dis-
pensed good music. The lack of a crowd made things
somewhat dull and, if anything, accentuated the
chilliness of the hall. And yet despite it all the show
was decidedly attractive and well worth patronage
Maybe the people of Morristown are nut fully edu-
cated to the attractiveness of flower shows; perhaps
they make it a practice to take the pleasures after
i p.m. Personally this writer is not enamoured with
flower shows at night. Colors are deceptive, and the
conditions somewhat artificial.

The Competitions

Generally speaking competition in many classes was

none too keen. In the big bloom classes, long stems,

Otto Koch of the State Hospital, Morris Plains, N. J.,

had things more or less his own way. He won the

■t House cup for 24 blooms in four varieties; the

Muller-Sealey prize for 15 blooms five varieties ; the
Washington News prize for 10 yellow; the Willis H.
Dutton prize for 10 white ; the Eugene S. Burke prize
for 10 pink and the R. Hoffman prize for 10 any
other color. The latter made a splendid vase the va-
riety being Nagirroc.

H. Cole, gdr. W. P. Fowkes, Madison, scored with
12 on short stems. Nagirroc, Firestone, Louisa Pock-
ett, Corporal Piper and Yellow Turner were fairly-
good, but the giant of the collection was Vermont, a
flattish flower easily 12in. across. This collection won
the Hitchins & Co. cup.

D. Olcott, gdr. C. Barbanes, Morristown, scored
with six blooms. Other winners in the big bloom
classes were : H. Cole with six any color, six white
and six pink ; and L. L. Dunham, Madison, gdr.
Wm. Wild, 12 yellow. None of the flowers were out-
standingly good.

The Singles and spray variety classes brought out
more competition. Mrs. P. Moore, Convent, N. J., gdr.
J. T. Sisley, won the Henry F. Michell medal with a
vase of Singles. Among them, Irene, pink; Bronze
Molly and Genevieve red, were good. D. Olcott was
second. The H. C. Holmes cup for five vases of sin-
gles was won by Mrs. P. Moore also. Gloriana,
Gladys Duckham, Golden Mensa. Portia and Gene-
vieve were splendidly shown. Mrs. R, Cross, Morris-
town, gdr. A. E. Sailer, made a splendid show with a
vase decorated with various foliage, thus winning the
Vaughan prize. On the whole these and similar
classes created a fine effect for the flowers were
staged on small circular tables spread around the
hall.

The class for outdoor blooms was almost knocked
out by the frost a week previous, but Andrew Wilson
of O. K. Spray fame, Springfield, N. J., gdr. N. Fig-
linolo put up a pretty decent ten vase collection,
though not so good as those of W. S. Kenney, Mor-
ristown, who won the Police Dept. cup.

The C. W. McAlpin cup class enabled Mrs. Cross to
score with a superb table of Singles and Pompons.
Some first-class seedlings were noted in this 6ft. col-
lection.

Commercial Classes

Competition in these was not in keeping with former
years; Chas. H. Totty Co., Madison, scored with tea
yellow, showing excellent Yellow Turner, and also
ten pink, which carried as a prize, a sample of im-
ported ware offered by the Henshaw Floral Co. The
same grower also scored with ten white, splendid
Louisa Pockett these.

Roses and Carnations

The Rose classes were not a heavy feature. Duck-
ham Pierson Co., Madison, led with 25 white; they
also had 25 excellent Premier. L. B. Coddington,
Murray Hill, had a splendid vase of Francis Scott
Key, which beat Crusader shown by the Duckham
Pierson Co. The Murray Hill grower also scored with
a vase of Ophelia. Chas. Totty Co. won the P. Hinck-
ley cup with a basket of golden Ophelia. The private-
growers' classes for Roses were also somewhat sparse,
Mrs. A. L. D. Warner, Mendham, N. J., gdr. Thos.
Dorner, scoring most freely. With 25 blooms ar-
ranged for effect. Mrs. H. McK. Twombly, gdr.
R. Tyson, Convent, N. J., made a fine effort.

The Carnation classes were confined to gardeners.
L. L. Dunham more or less had a walkover ; cer-
tainly the other exhibitors had little left for them.

Plants and Groups

The plant and group classes were a really splendid
feature. Mrs. McK. Twombly's 75ft. silver cup group
of Pompons, Singles, Japs and foliage plants was a
great effort; flowers good and well staged. It was
the centerpiece of the hall. L. L. Dunham also made
a pleasing display in the 50ft. class, scoring heavily
over Chas. W. McAlpine, gdr. W. Brown. Morristown.
The arrangement of the winners' group was excel-
lent. Mrs. P. Moore also staged in this class, but the
arrangement was too flat.

With 12 plants in flower Sin. pots, H. Cole was
placed ahead of L. L. Dunham, but we can't conceive
how the judges decided the awards. The winners more
or less scrawny plants topped by one second rate
flower, were certainly not in it against the other ex-
cellent lot of Singles and Caprice varieties. L. L.
Dunham's 12 single stemmed plants in 6in. pots were
certainly good and worthy of the J. C. Sweeny cup.

Miscellaneous

The vegetable and fruit classes were fairly strong
though perhaps not equal to former years. It seemed
to us that the judging of the fruit was not wholly
consistent, size appearing to count more than high
color and finish in some cases. Mrs. O. H. Wittpea,
gdr. L. Barkman, Bernardsville. appeared to have the
edge with vegetables, both in the dish classes and in
the big collection. The latter which carried the Legis-
lative cup, was made up with splendid samples of
Golden Plume Celery. Snowball, Cauliflower, Suc-

cess Tomato, etc., etc. Mrs. McK. Twombly won a
pair of Dunhill pipes donated by Andrew Wilson,
with a collection of 12 varieties of vegetables. It
need scarcely be' said that the pipes were passed on
to Robt. Tyson, who was more than a little proud
of them.

Space will not permit us to detail the 100 or so
classes, the prizes for which were donated largely by
friends of the society, including many well-known
firms, among them, Stumpp & Walter Co., Peter Hen-
derson & Co., Bobbink & Atkins, Carter's Tested
Seeds, Inc., Marshall's Seed Store, Henry A. Dreer,
and Muller-Sealey Co. in addition to those already
mentioned.

The hall was well set off with palms, ornamental
plants and ferns from the State Hospital and other
gardens, and several trade displays further served
to heighten the effect. Chas. H. Totty Co. had a fine
group of cut Chrysanthemums, mostly Singles and
Pompons. Among the former were : Mrs. M. Behr,
red; Mrs. J. Stewart, bronze; Mrs. R. Bergen, claret:
Fernridge. red; Mrs. C. Brigham, a truly glorious
scarlet; Larchmont, white edged pink and Gladys
Duckham, white. The same exhibitor had a splendid
table of mixed Roses, including the yellow Souv. de
Claudius Pernet, and also a great vase of America,
which more and more proves itself the most doughty
rival Columbia has to face. No other pink Rose has
the beautiful form of this fine novelty, and its last-
ing qualities are unquestioned.

The Pakro Seed Co., Madison, staged a small mixed
collection of vegetables, including a giant Squash
weighing 97 lbs. David Francis, Morristown, put up
a nice group of ferns and Chrysanthemums, while the
Springfield Floral Co., exhibited a table of Carna-
tion Natalie, which demonstrated that the Springfield
Carnation food does put pep into the plants.

Wm. C. Duckham showed some wonderfully fine
Delphiniums for so late in the season.

All in all the show was well worth a visit, and it is
to be hoped that the public patronized it more freely
on the second and third days. If not, it is conceivable
that the society will need to consider whether some
other city in the county merits attention. The early-
records of this show were made at Madison, and I
guess Madison is still willing.

Washington, (D. C.,) Chrysanthemum Show

Department of Agriculture's Fine Display

A number of new Chrysanthemums are among the
more than 500 varieties which are on exhibition in
the greenhouses of the Department of Agriculture
this week. This year's show is the most extensive of
any of the 20 which have been held since the first
show was given in 1902. Thousands of flower lovers,
including many members of the Washington official
set, have been visiting the greenhouses to view the
plants, most of which are now in full bloom.

New Varieties

Ten new varieties introduced this year by commer-
cial growers are on display. They are the Gilda.
Metzi, Mary Pickford, Dorothy Gish, Nadine, Red
Doty, Bronze Doty, Dainty Maid, Crista, and Clare.
In the Department, a number of new varieties have
also been developed. Mrs. Henry C. Wallace, wife
of the Secretary of Agriculture, has named six of
these new varieties and will name a number of
others before the show closes. Those already named
are the Margaret McKee, a shell-pink Jap. ; The Gar-
den Club of America, a yellow tinged bronze Jap. ;
Iowa, old gold Jap. ; Ruth, old rose magenta, shaded
Jap. ; Annabelle, a rose pink Pompon and Gean, a
pure white Pompon.

While the new varieties, are, of course, the center
of attraction for the visitors who know about flowers,
the general rank and file of those who visited the
show are equally interested in some of the varieties
which are less new. Among the favorites are the
Abigail Adams, a flat flower of light magenta color-
ing with a silver reverse. Another is the Philly Ricci,
a brick-red and old gold with long tangled petals.
Titian Tints, named last year by the daughter of the
Secretary of Agriculture after a society of red-headed
girls at Goucher College, of which she was president,
was a favorite among the Pompons. Mrs. Warren G.
Harding is also a prime favorite. It is a deep ma-
genta with a silver reverse, considerably deeper in
shade than the very popular Nerissa. Dear Heart, a
daisy-shaped Pompon with a golden-yellow center,
and Harema-no-Fifi. which was named by a dele-
gation from the Japanese embassy, also are well
liked. Harema-no-Fifi is a magnificently shaped
bloom with white, reflexed petals.

A party of wives of officials was made up by Mrs.
Henry C. Wallace and was escorted through the
greenhouses prior to the public opening. Among those
in the party were Mrs. Charles E. Hughes, wife of the
Secretary of State; Mrs. Edwin Denby. wife of the
Secretary of the Navy; Mrs. Hubert Work, wife of

November 4, 1922.

the Postmaster General, and Mrs. Herbert Hoover,
wife of the Secretary of Commerce. Mrs. Wallace
was assisted in receiving by Mrs. Karl F. Kellerman,
Mrs. Corbett, and Mrs. Faircbild, wives of officials
in the Bureau of Plant Industry. It was while es-
corting this party through the greenhouses, that Mrs.
"Wallace named the six new varieties already men-
tioned.

1902 and 1922

Those who have been in Washington for a number
of years have commented on the contrast which this
year's show makes with that of the first show in
1902. The 1902 show was directed by Supt. E. M.
Byrnes, who is iu charge of the Department's green-
houses and experimental gardens. Less than 50 va-
rieties of Chrysanthemums were exhibited, and only
a few hundred employees of the Department attended.
In succeeding years the show attracted the attention
of flower lovers and the attendance grew by leaps
and bounds. As the experimental work of the De-
partment progressed the number of varieties shown
were increased until at present there are more than
500 varieties shown each year including novelties.
Last year cuttings were secured from Japan, Aus-
tralia. England and France; the Department is propa-
gating these and experimenting with them for the
purpose of obtaining new varieties. C. L. L.

Bacteria versus Fertilizers

In our issue for Oct. 21 we published a straight-
forward letter from Eber Holmes of Halifax, Mass.,
detailing the results so far noted of experiments
made with Dextrogerm. a new form of bacterized
peat, prepared by Bernard Field of Plymouth. Mass.
In the previous issue we published some views of our
own, and also a communication from Mr. Field, which
amplified the remarks he made in an article earlier in
the year. Below we publish from our Boston corre-
spondent some further notes which serve to prove
that, under glass at least, the Dextrogerm process
has reached the stage where it can be used in the
place of ordinary manure with results fully equal to
those derived from standard manuring. Mr. Field
believes that he has now evolved a mixture con-
taining bacteria which will work under normal out-
door temperatures, experiments he has made show-
ing much the same results as those made under glass.

It now remains to be seen whether Dextrogerm
can be manufactured at a price which will permit its
use commercially. If it can be made and sold at a
competitive price, organic or commercial fertilizers
have a serious rival and, if through its use, diseases
and insect pests can be controlled to even a moder-
ate degree, the value of Dextrogerm will be twofold.
Here follows the report from our Boston correspon-
dent :

About a year ago, The Florists Exchange pub-
lished a letter from Fritz Schlecht of Plymouth,
Mass., wherein Mr. Schlecht described the beneficial
results obtained from the use of bacteria-inoculated
peat which he employed to grow Lilies for Easter.
He described how he treated and applied the ma-
terial in which he grew his Lilies and how wonder-
fully these Lilies respond to the treatment. He par-
ticularly referred to the fact that practically no dis-
ease was ever present among his bulbs. Mr. Schlecht
made the experiments in the interest of Bernard
Field of Plymouth, who, for a number of years, has
studied the effects of bacteria inoculation when ap-
plied to mediums in which plants are growing, either
in the greenhouse or in the open field.

It is claimed by the originator of this process of
soil inoculation, that the use of animal or commercial
fertilizers can be entirely or very largely dispensed
with when radio-active dextrogerm is used in the soil.
Also, that the growth of plants treated in this way
will be more luxuriant and satisfactory than when
manures are employed for fertilizing the soil.

I have always been greatly interested in anything
and everything having to do with the fertility of the
soil and with the benefits to be derived, from any kind
of fertilizer. I have made a hobby for many years of
becoming acquainted with the various fertilizers ob-
tainable and so became much interested in this new
proposition. I therefore made it my business to fol-
low up the experiments of Mr. Field and this article
is really a report of what I have been able to observe.

Last May I went to Plymouth to inspect some
benches of double Stocks which Mr. Schlecht was
growing for Memorial Day. Those plants, grown in
the benches which contained inoculated soil, were far
superior in size and strength of stem to those that
had been planted in soil enriched in the usual way
with manure. On Oct. 18 I made another visit to the
greenhouses of Mr. Schlecht. There were, side by

side, two benches the whole length of the house, each
planted with the same varieties of Chrysanthemums
from the same lot of cuttings and on the same date,
June 16. The varieties were Charles Rager, Harvard,
MacNeice, Unaka and Bonnaffon. One bench was
filled with soil treated with radio-active Dextrogerm
without manure of any kind. The other bench was
filled with compost such as is generally used for grow-
ing Chrysanthemums, the soil being enriched with a
liberal amount of cow manure. The plants in this
latter bench showed ordinary growth, such as might
be expected under ordinary conditions and ordinary
treatment. The same varieties, in the other bench
where no manure was used, displayed a much stronger
growth and larger and darker foliage. The plants
were undoubtedly taller, especially Harvard; this
variety was IS to 24in. taller. The necks were stiff,
and the buds well developed. It was plainly evident
that the plants grown in the prepared soil, without
manure, were decidedly better than those grown in
ordinary soil.

A small batch of Cyclamen in 5in. and 6in. pots
were planted in almost pure peat, treated with radio-
active Dextrogerm. These plants were of regulation
size; good and strong, with hard foliage and abun-
dance of healthy buds. These plants had never come
in contact with manure.

A batch of 600 Lilium Harrissii were coming along
in a frame under a covering of straw. They were
potted Sept. 20 and were pushing up through the
covering, ready to go into the house. These Lilies
wore making fine growth, showing no sign of disease.
They also planted in prepared peat. We knocked out
a number of the plants and found the roots sound and
remarkably active. Mr. Schlecht has also small plots

What We Know About Boston Ferns

By RALPH C. BENEDICT

• - ..»>»» ....,,,+

III. What Boston Fern is Best ? The Standpoint
of the Home

IT is most important that the grower and the re-
tailer in the florist business try to see this ques-
tion from the public's standpoint. The public at
large consists of dwellers in apartments and houses,
in cities and on farms. The florist of a large city may
have a special trade with hotels but the great" mass
of sales are made to "Mr. and Mrs." and the plant
is bought to add beauty to the home of the purchaser,
be it single room, cottage or mansion.

How many florists keep plants in their homes and
try to maintain them continuously, month after
month, and thus learn what that public wants? There
is no better way to gain an appreciation of the home
maker's ideas and needs. In general the grower
thinks of ferns in terms of sq. ft. of glass, of profit
per house, of rotation and cultural methods, of labor
and heat. A fern plant to him is a runner, a 4in., or
a Sin. plant with a certain market value at this or
that season. The retailer has in mind the decorative
value of ferns in flower shop arrangement and win-
dow display, quick sales, seasonal costs and bargain
sales.

To gain a clearer understanding of the public
viewpoint, let the florist test out his various products
in his own house as well as in his greenhouse or store.
Let him study home decoration. The next best way
to sound public sentiment is to ask his wife. I once
asked mine what she would like to know about ferns
as house plants. Her reply was, "How they look and
how they last." In most homes, plants are pri-
marily a matter of decoration. The florist must imag-
ine his plants in the various homes they may enter,
in the apartment, store or dwelling, in good light and
poor if he is going to make them give maximum satis-
faction.

The greatest need of the public with respect to
house plants is for greater knowledge. The average
person is woefully ignorant of their simplest require-
ments. The questions asked in this connection are
ludicrous. This person wants to know how to get rid
of the rows of "bugs," which come on the back of her
fern leaves; another tells of her neighbor who has
such good luck with plants, and who uses castor oil
for fertilizer, while tea leaves or coffee grounds is the
prescription of a third. One will complain that she
has no luck with plants, but investigation will show
that her idea of care is to put the fern in some dark
corner, and either water it once in an irregular while,
or keep it standing in water. The wonder is not that
her plants die but that they last as long as they do.

In the average home the window space is suitable
only for the smaller varieties. Only in a large bay
window or in a store window (not needed for the dis-
play of goods) will there be light enough for large
plants. Undertakers' and barbers' shops often con-
tain splendid examples of fern plants, maintained
year after year, but New York City apartments rarely
provide conditions for any but the smallest dwarf va-
rieties.

What the public wants is beauty and reasonable
hardiness. It needs most education as to the funda-
mental requirements of a plant in the home, namely,
the best light available, regular watering, air that is*
not poisoned with gas fumes. Only by testing differ-
ent varieties under home conditions will the florist
really qualify to pick the best for his customers.

Following the precedent of any organization in set-
ting specifications for what it wants to purchase, we
can state standard qualifications which the ideal
home fern must possess, in these terms :

(1) It should be of medium size, with leaves not
exceeding two to two and a half feet in length.

(2) The leaves should possess graceful form and
carriage, and be strong stalks, but should bend and
spread to form a symmetrical plant as a whole.

(3) The leaves should be capable of developing to
an attractive form under the lighting conditions of
the home, where good window space is available.

(4) The leaves should be firm and hardy, able to
stand night cooling during Winter to between 40 and
50 deg. F. without harm.

What variety most nearly meets these specifica-
tions? Has anyone made actual tests? It is possible
that none of the most commonly cultivated, fast-
growing varieties now popular measure up to the
desired standards. The best home fern will probably
be found among some of the slower growing sorts,
less popular with growers and retailers than types
which seem to promise quicker returns. But has any-
one made really conclusive tests to settle the point ?

The Florists Exchange

F. H. B. Discusses Bulbs

(Continued from page 1197)
Chionodoxa. — Thirteen permits covering 168,136
bulbs have been issued, of which S8.030 have been
imported on three permits. Figures for the country's
annual consumption ranged from 750,000 to five mil-
lion.

Colciiicum. — Nine permits covering 171,148 bulbs
have been issued and the importations under four per-
mits have totaled 86,623 bulbs.

Dielytra.— Up to Oct. 15 45 permits bad been is-
sued covering the importation of 256,820 roots, of
which 38,845 roots had been actually imported un-
der six permits. At the above elate 50,000 additional
roots were in the inspection house. The annual eon-
sumption was said to be about 500,000.

Fkeesia. — Fifteen permits have been issued cover-
ing 138,000 bulbs, of which 5630 bulbs have been im-
ported under eight permits. This plant is now be-
ing extensively cultivated in this country, and the
consumption is from 20 to 25 million a year, it was
stated.

Galanthus. — Nineteen permits, covering 518.000
bulbs have been issued, and the importations total
465,000 bulbs under ten permits. The annual con-
sumption is about as great as that of Chionodoxa.
This, it was stated, is one of the smaller bulbs, all
of which are expensive to grow and handle and
American growers cannot compete with the foreigners
in price aud until there is a quarantine on all the ma-
terial there will be very little grown here. The grow-
ers are fearful that the Board is going to let down
the quarantine, and have cut down production ac-
cordingly. The need for imported stock in this coun-
try will probably be several million a year for some
time to come.

Gloxinia.— Four permits have been issued covering
1S.300 bulbs, of which 100 bulbs have been actually
imported under two permits. This can be grown from
seed in this country, but must be raised under glass.
The Bulbous Iris Situation

Ikis (bulbous).— The Board has issued 170 permits
covering 10,600.615 bulbs, and imports to date have
totaled 5,290,328 bulbs, under 94 permits. There was
considerable discussion of the Iris question. It was
declared that the Spanish Iris is not necessarily a
California proposition, for although there are 21
growers of imported Iris in that State, there are some
33 in other States in the South and East. The busi-
ness is establishing itself rapidly, and it was declared
that the bulbs produced are as large and as good as
those received from Holland. William A. Sperling
secretary of Stumpp & Walter Co., New York, de-
clared that domestic bulbs are not giving satisfac-
tion owing to the lack of experience on the part of
the growers.

"I'd quit raising Iris if you gave one vear of free
importation." declared A. Henderson of A. Hender-
son & Co., Chicago. "This whole thing is a matter
of uncertainty. I have Iris planting stock on my
place now that I want to put in, but I hesitate be-
cause I do not want to put any more money into it
so long as I do not know what will come out of it
We will continually have to be bringing in planting-
stock for years to come, and if we can do that it will
be a good business.

•'The bulbs do not always flower. If I get a good
big bulb and they had a dry season in France and I
give them to a florist who knows his business, I get
™ ,60 t0 so Per cent flowers. Last year, out of
3000 large bulbs I gave 2000 to 20 different people
and kept 1000 to be grown under my own supervision
and got 60 per cent out of those that I grew, while
the 20 growers got from five to 95 per cent, and the
man who got 95 per cent did something that I thought
would never permit them to grow. This year I "was
going to make a killing doing the same thing he did
but all the bulbs split up. If you allow the importa-
tion of all the things suggested the Iris is the one
item which has the most chance of success "

Lycobis.— This plant, declared Mr. Beattie. presents
two separate problems to the Board. There have been
importations from Holland and there has been one
Permit for importations from Mexico, but the stock
from Mexico was so badly infected that it had to bo
destroyed immediately, and no more permits are to be
given for importations from that country Ten thou-
sand bulbs under two permits have been brought in
from other countries.

Muscabi.— Twenty-two permits have been issued
covering 214.900 bulbs, of which 93,9S6 have bee-i
actually imported under five permits. The demand m
this country is about as great as for Chionodoxa

Nerine — Four permits covering 305 bulbs have
been issued and 95 bulbs have been actually imported
under three of them. This is one of the bulbs which
is too cheap to grow aud not well enough known 10

tempt the growers in this country. The annual con-
sumption is placed at from 50,000 to 200,000.

Oxalis. — Five permits have been issued covering
21.320 bulbs, of which 21,300 have come in under two
permits. The consumption is about one million a
year.

.Sciixa. — Twenty-three permits have been issue!,
covering 890,100 bulbs, and imports have totaled
115,451 bulbs under eight permits. The consumption
is about as great as that of Chionodoxa.

Zephyranthes. — Only one permit has been issued
covering 10,000 bulbs, and the actual importation
under the permit was 6250. The annual consumption
is about a quarter of a million.

Data Concerning Less Important Bulbs

The foregoing bulbs were the 17 most important
asked for in the petition. The other bulbs requested,
and the information regarding their importation and
consumption in the hands of the Board, was as fol-
lows :

Achimenes. — No permits have ever been asked and
the consumption in this country is limited.

Allium. — Seven permits covering 28,657 bulbs have
been issued, of which 55 were actually imported un-
der three permits. The consumption is about one
million a year.

Anemone. — Forty-nine permits have been issued
covering 332,705 bulbs, and the importations have
totaled 216,122 bulbs under 20 permits. About one
million a year are needed for the trade.

Anomatheca. — Five thousand bulbs have been im-
ported under the one permit issued. The consumption
is about 50,000 a year.

Alstromeria. — Two permits have been issued, but
no importations have been made.

Babiana. — One permit, covering four bulbs has been
issued.

Camassia. — Three permits, covering 1612 bulbs
have been issued and 1500 bulbs have been imported
under two permits. The consumption is about 100,000
a year.

Crinum. — No permits have ever been requested.

Crown Imperial. — Six permits, covering 4493 have
been issued, and 500 have actually been imported
under one permit. The consumption is about 50,000
a year.

Erantitis. — Six permits, covering 7056 bulbs have
been issued, and two permits have been filled, the
imports being 1006 bulbs. Fifty thousand a year
are needed.

Fritillaria meleagris. — Two permits have been
issued, but no importations have been made.

Gladiolus nanus and Cardinalis.' — No permits
have been issued for cardinalis, but 64 permits, cover-
ing 1.326,165 nanus bulbs have been issued, and im-
portations have totaled 421.S71 under 30 permits.
The annual consumption is about ten million bulbs.

Ixia. — Nineteen permits have been issued covering
159,290 bulbs, and imports have been made under six
permits to the extent of 33,500 bulbs. About one mil-
lion a year are required.

Leucojum. — Five permits have been issued cover-
ing 32,101 bulbs, but no imports have yet been made.
The annual consumption is about 500.000.

Lyconia. — No permits have been requested. This
also was the case with Hemerocallis, Hippeastrum.
and Isemene and Milla.

Montbretia. — Twenty-four permits have been is-
sued covering 254,402 bulbs, of which 101,7S8 have
actually been imported under 12 permits. The con-
sumption is approximately two million a year.

Ornithogalum. — Seven permits have been issued
covering 22,100, of which 7200 have been imported
under two permits. From a million to a million and
a quarter a year are required.

Ranunculus. — Twenty-six permits have been is-
sued, covering S96.606 bulbs, and importations have
been made under 15 permits to the extent of 418,950
bulbs. The annual consumption is about two million.

Sparaxis. — 'Six permits, covering 3459 bulbs have
been issued and 1310 bulbs have been imported under
three permits. Approximately 50,000 bulbs a year are
required.

Tigridia. — Four permits, covering 37,512 bulbs have
been issued, and 32,500 have actually been imported
under two permits. Approximately 500.000 a year are
required.

Several of the importers present assured Dr. Mai-
latt that they were in full sympathy with the quaran-
tine and with the efforts which were being made by
the Board to assure an adequate supply in this coun-
try. They pointed out, however, that unless imports
are permitted many of the dealers will be without
stock, for some of the bulbs grown in this country,
while fine in appearance and size, do not flower when
forced. After a considerable discussion of the vari-
ous bulbs which had been named in the petition the
growers put each item to a vote with the result that
all except the following were eliminated :

The Rock Bottom List of Requested Bulbs

Allium. Anemone, Begonia, Chionodoxa, Dielytra,
Fritillaria meleagris. Galanthus, Gladiolus nanus and
cardinalis. Gloxinia, Iris, Montbretia, Muscari, Ranun-
culus, and Scilla.

This action on the part of the conference, it was
expressly stated by Chairman Marlatt, did not mean
that the petition presented by Mr. Henry would not
be considered, but it was pointed out that that peti-
tion would have to stand on its own feet. In view of
the fact that the majority of those present were in
favor of striking out those varieties not named in the
preceding paragraph, it is probable that the petition
will meet a like pruning when the Board takes it up.

That the F. H. B. does not give due consideration
to the needs of the amateurs, was the suggestion of
E. L. D. Seymour, secretary of the committee headed
by Mr. McFarland, who asked whether it was to be
inferred that the effect on the growing industry of
lifting a bulb quarantine would influence the Board
in its action. Dr. Marlatt pointed out that he had
already announced that the whole purpose of Quar-
antine 37 is to reduce the volume of importations,
and that if in so doing it benefited the growers, that
was an incidental, not an intentional result.

"Quarantine 37 is so drawn that we can permit the
importation of things that we believe to be necessary.
Importation would become unnecessary if we pro-
duced those things ourselves. If a thing is produced
in this country and is abundantly available we do not
need to increase the risk by permitting importation."

"The public then becomes 'the goat,' " said Mr.
Seymour. "If you keep on the quarantine for the
benefit of the grower and the consumer is unable to
get bulbs until the growers find themselves on a
commercial basis — if they ever do — the latter is no
better off than if you let the bulbs in and injure the
grower's outlook."

Domestic Paperwhites Unfit for Forcing

If the importers were given the additions to the
permitted list which they ask for, said Dr. Marlatt,
at this point, would there be any items on the present
list of permissions which they would be willing to
eliminate. After considerable discussion of the vari-
ous items it was unanimously agreed that there was
nothing on the present list which the importers could
do without at this time. Dr. Marlatt had especial
reference to Narcissus. There seem to be a great
many Paperwhites grown in Florida and California,
and possibly the volume is sufficient to take care of
the needs of the country. The only trouble with these
bulbs, it was . pointed out by Mr. Knickman and
others, is that they do not flower when forced. "The
trumpet varieties do well in California," said Peter
Bisset, representative of the Bureau of Plant Indus-
try, "and appear to succeed in the East. Although
they are not grown very extensively, it is believed
that in a few years the country will be able to meet
all demands except for novelties.

California Paperwhite Narcissi cannot be flowered
successfully under glass, declared Mr. Henderson,
but they can and do grow well outdoors.

"The florists would be very glad to have the list
of permitted imports extended," said William Glide,
Washington representative of the S. A. F. and O. H.
"I think that so long as we are not able to produce
commercially such bulbs as may be suitable for
greenhouse forcing, until such time it might be well
to let up on the quarantine, so far as it does not
bring in disease. We all want to exclude disease,
but in the case of Paperwhite Narcissi, to exclude
that would be suicidal in a way. It would destroy a
splendid industry which is now in a fine condition,
the commercial industry.

"At present it seems with the dismal failure of
the Eureka nurseries and Bellingham to produce pro-
ductive bulbs and with the cost of transporting Coast
bulbs across the country (which is greater than the
cost of importing from Europe) the growers' side
would be one for the future. Japanese and Bermuda
Lilies should also be left alone, we think. Whether
they can be grown here or not remains to be seen."

The best way to handle the question, said Mr. Sperl-
ing, is not to eliminate danger by limiting the number
of bulbs permitted entry, but to eliminate it by limit-
ing the number of varieties, as some genuses are
more subject to disease and infestation than others.

F. de Selys de Fanson, charge d'affaires of the Bel-
gian legation for his government, called the atten-
tion of the Board to the previous communications
which it has addressed to the United States asking
that some freedom be allowed Belgian bulbs, espe-
cially Begonias and Gloxinias. Mr. Richter suggested
that the matter be handled the same as the seed ques-
tion is handled and that all bulbs found infested be
shipped back to the exporter in the foreign countries
the same as is done with Creeping Bent Grass of less
than a certain per cent of purity.

The Dutch growers are willing to do anything the
Federal Horticultural Board wants, so long as they

can get their bulbs into the country, declared E. H.
Trelage, president of the General Bulb Growers So-
ciety of Holland. "We are perfectly ready to discuss
any matter or any means of improving our product
with the Board," he said. "All we ask is an oppor-
tunity to know exactly what you want and we will do
just as you say to prevent insects getting in."

Board Insists on 100 Per Cent Freedom or None

The use of cyanide, which appears to be a stimulant
to plant growth, has been resorted to very success-
fully for fumigation, said Dr. Marlatt, in dealing
with certain cases of infestation, but there is no
assurance that it will get 100 per cent results, and
unless 100 per cent results should be achieved the
quarantine might as well be lifted, for as much dan-
ger can be done by one per cent as by 100 per cent.

So opposed is J. C. Vaughan, of Vaughan's Seed
Store, Chicago, to the principle of quarantine, that
he is willing to see dissipated the money he has in-
vested in plants growing in this country, declared
Mr. Burdett, his representative at the conference.
Mr. Vaughan is against the quarantine on principle,
said Mr. Burdett, and believes so heartily that it is
uneconomic that if the question of admitting Gladioli
was taken up, although he has much money invested
in growing Gladioli in this country, he would favor
the unrestricted admission of the bulbs.

If the Federal Horticultural Board decides to in-
crease the list, as suggested, said Dr. Karl F. Keller-
man, the protection of the growers might be taken
care of by making the admission effective at some
future date, possibly a year from now, a proposal
which met with no opposition on the part of those
present. The meeting came to a conclusion after a
few remarks by Dr. Marlatt, in which he took occa-
sion to point out that the action taken at the con-
ference was not to be considered as the attitude
which the Board would take, but that the Board
would consider every bulb suggested, and would seek
information from not only the importers, but from
the growers in this country, who did not appear to
be represented at the meeting. He intimated, how-
ever, that he was favorably impressed by the argu-
ments of the importers and that there might likely
be some changes made in the quarantine list in the
near future.

Those present at the conference included :

Chairman C. L. Marlatt, Vice-chairman W. A. Orton,
Karl F. Kellerman and R Kent Beattie. member, and
R. C. Althouse, assistant to the chairman, all of the
F. H. B. ; J. Horace McFarland, Harrisburg, Pa., chair-

Bacteria Versus Fertilizers

(Concluded from page 1219)

of Carnations, Roses and other things growing entire-
ly in the new mixture, without a trace of animal or
chemical fertilizer. The growth of all these plants
is all that could be desired.

In The Florists Exchange Oct. 21, page 10S4, Eber
Holmes of Halifax, Mass., gives an account of a trial

being made in his greenhouses. Mr. Holmes planted
Unaka, Halliday and Oconto Chrysanthemums in pre-
pared soil and also in regular Chrysanthemum soil
with the usual amount of manure. I visited here on
Oct. IS, and it was clear that good Chrysanthemums
can be grown with peat and Dextrogerm ; in fact,
as finely as in soil which contains a full supply of
manure. Oconto, grown with Dextrogerm only, was
especially good. The Carnations treated with peat
and Dextrogerm were positively superior to those
planted in manured soil. The foliage was every bit
as good, and the rows have closed up better. Experi-
ments are under way with Roses also, but to do
justice to these trials, I shall have to make another
visit later in the season. So far, the Dextrogerm
plants are doing well and give great promise.

It is not for me to express views for or against the
merits of the Dextrogerm or standard fertilizers, I
am simply telling what I have seen. I can at least,
say I have seen that good and even extra good plants
can be grown without a particle of manure when the
material prepared by Mr. Field is used.

A Correction

The Conard & Jones Co., West Grove. Pa., advise
that the Hugonis Rose in their recent page advertise-'
ment in The Exchange should have been quoted at
$1.25 each plant, $10 for 10 plants, $90 for 100 plants.

It is only fair to our own pet printer's devil to say
that this is one of the few instances when he wa<
not at fault.

recommends the following hotels: Planters, War-
wick. American, and Claridge. The Claridge Hotel
will be headquarters.

The show runs from Nov. 7 to 12. and will be held
in the Coliseum Building as previously noted.

On Nov. 7 will be held the annual meeting of the
St. Louis District National Flower Growers Associa-
tion, also at the Coliseum.

Horticultural Society of New York

Fall Exhibition, Nov. 9 to 12

The premium schedule for this show, as already
announced, may be obtained from Mrs. Geo. V. Nash,
Botanical Garden, Bronx, N. Y. We are, however,
asked to announce that a last minute addition to the
schedule has been made through the generosity of
Clement Moore of Hackensack, N. J.

This class is of interest to orchid growers, and
calls for the best Hybrid Cattleya, Lfelio-Cattleya,
Brasso-Cattleya or Brasso-Laelio-Cattleya of recent
origin. A special gold medal is offered. Form, color
and substance are the main requirements and prefer-
ence will be given to an American raised seedling.

For New Hort. Building at Syracuse, N. Y.

On Tuesday, Oct. 24, a committee of the New York
Federation of Horticultural Societies and Floral Clubs,
consisting of Frank R. Pierson. Tarrytown ; Arno H.
Nehrling and R. J. Roskelly, Ithaca; F. A. Danker.
Albany ; Werner Bultman. Syracuse, and W. A. Adams
of Buffalo, met with the State Fair Commission in
Syracuse and presented a plan for a new Horticultural
Building. The scheme for this building entails an
expenditure of $350,000 and when completed, will be
the most modern type of building for horticultural
and floricultural exhibition purposes in America.

The State Fair Commission unanimously endorsed
the plan of the committee.

Chrysanthemum Society of America

Annual Show, Nov. 7 to 12

The annual meeting of this society will be held at
the Coliseum, St. Louis, Mo., on Wednesday, Nov. S,
the second day of the show.

Schedules for this exhibition may be obtained from
Secretary Chas. W. Johnson, Rockford, 111., or W. J.
Pilcher, chairman of the Fall show, 1316 Pine St.,
St. Louis, Mo.

Members of the C. S. A. as usual, will not be
charged entry fees for classes promoted by the society.
These classes are listed in the schedule as C. S. A.
specials.

A committee will, during the show, deal with any
new seedlings sent to St. Louis, if entered accord-
ing to the regulations of the C. S, A.

MORE than 300 members and delegates of the
Garden Club of America assembled from all
sections of the country for the annual Fall
meeting of this organization held in Washington,
D. C, from Oct. 23 to 25 inclusive.

The first day of the convention was occupied in the
registration of the guests at the Garden Club head-
quarters at the Powhatan Hotel during the morning
and early afternoon, with committee meetings through-
out the iatter part of the afternoon. The first meeting
of the club was held Monday night in the auditorium
of the American Red Cross Building, and was lim-
ited to members and guests. Dr. David Fairchild.
agricultural explorer of the Department of Agricul-
ture, made an address of welcome, followed by a
short address by Dr. Charles L. Marlatt, chairman of
the Federal Horticultural Board. The remainder of
the meeting was given over to open discussion of the
problems of garden clubs, led by Mrs. Francis Crown-
inshield. of the North .Shore Garden Club, Mass.

Tuesday morning, at 10 o'clock, the delegates as-
sembled at the Powhatan Hotel and started on an
automobile tour through Virginia. The first stop was
made at the Government experimental farm at Arling-
ton, from which the tour continued through Alexan-
dria and on down to famous Gunston Hall, located on
a commanding bluff of the Potomac just below Mount
Vernon. Here the party was received by Mr. and
Mrs. Louis Hertle, and after a picnic lunch served on
the lawn, the visitors were conducted on a tour of
inspection of the remarkable Rose gardens where
hundreds of varieties are under cultivation. From
Gunston Hall the delegates proceeded to Mount Ver-
non where a wreath was placed on the tomb of Wash-
ington, and a tree planted in the name of the Garden
Club of America. By a special arrangement with the
regents of Mount Vernon, this tree was a seedling
from the old white Ash planted by Washington him-
self. From Mount Vernon the tour proceeded to the
old Christ Church in Alexandria, and then back to
Washington.

Make Washington Supreme

Tuesday evening the convention assembled at the
United States National Museum, where Charles
Moore, chairman, and James L. Greenleaf, of the
Commission on Fine Arts, spoke on "Improving Wash-
ington." The talks were illustrated with lantern
slides and discussed the proposed plans for beautify-
ing the National Capital as well as reviewing what
has already been done in line with this policy of
artistic development. "Washington is a city of mag-
nificent possibilities with nothing completed and
everything begun," said Mr. Moore in his address,
urging that all members of the Garden Club use their
influence at home in seeing to it that those in whose
bands lay the destiny of this city were made fullv
aware of the city's needs and awakened to its possi-
bilities.

"Hand laundries, old buildings, and questionable
lodging houses now clutter up the lower part of Penn-
sylvania ave.," declared Mr. Moore, and he urged
that these be done away with as a part of the work
of beautifying the city. Emphasizing the fact that
Washington needs a soul as well as a body, he ex-
plained what the ultimate goal of the Fine Arts Com-
mission was with respect to the building layout of
the city. He showed how the Mall, with the Capitol
and tlie Lincoln Memorial at either end. and the
Washington monument in the center, will in time, be
one continuous stretch of green with four rows of
Elms on both sides. Speaking of the temporary
structures now occupying much of this space, Mr.
Moore said that "unless the people demand the re-
moval of these war buildings near the Lincoln Me-
morial, they will outlast the memorial itself. Thev
clash with the "Washington Plan" and are entirely
out of place." The proposed executive group, of
which the White House would be the center, was
also described.

Mr. Moore deplored the lack of funds provided by
Congress and declared that a large number of repre-
sentatives who stay on the "hill," do not realize the
needs of Washington from an artistic standpoint.

Mr. Greenleaf explained the proposed parking sys-
tem for the city which would enable one to drive com-
pletely around Washington without leaving the same
continuous park. He regretted the building opera-
tions in the north of the city, declaring that "there is
much devastation going on there." Houses are now
being erected in this section on sites that would make
ideal parks and parkways, he stated. Mr. Greenleaf
gave in detail the park system of Washington and
stressed the necessity for development of the proposed
Anacostia Park. He saiit that, upon conrpletiom it
should be one of the tisiiost papular spots in the city.
He urged that the Garden Club, do all in its power

parking plan, declaring that "Washington should be
the greatest capital in the world."

Following the meeting the Garden Club was re-
ceived by Mrs. Charles" D. Walcott at the Smithsonian
Institution where the members were shown a collec-
tion of over 350 water-color sketches of wild flowers,
both Eastern and Western, painted from life by Mrs
Walcott. The collection contains all of our familiar
wild flowers as well as many rare and little-known
plants.

The Department of Agriculture Gardens

Wednesday morning was spent in visits to the
Chrysanthemum show and Rose gardens of the De-
partment of Agriculture, and an inspection of the
gardens and grounds of the White House. After a
buffet luncheon at Hauscher's the convention, under
the leadership of Charles Moore, spent the afternoon
in touring Washington's parks and gardens.

The final session of the club was held in the audi-
torium of the Department of the Interior on Wednes-
day evening and was addressed by experts of the De-
partment of Agriculture on various subjects of in-
terest to flower lovers and growers. Preceding the
lectures, a fantasy, written by Mrs. Minnigerode An-
drews entitled "The Voice of the Wild Flowers" was
presented. The auditorium stage was transformed
into a very realistic woodland by John H. Small, a
local landscape architect, and this served as a back-
ground for the pageant, which was characterized by-
picturesque tableaux, colorful costumes and far bet-
ter than the average singing and dancing.
■

Lecture on Aquatics

The first speaker was Mrs. L. Helen Fowler, mana-
ger of Shaw's Water Lily Gardens at Kenilworth.
Mrs. Fowler gave a most interesting lecture, illus-
trated with slides, telling of the growth of the Lily
gardens from a small ice pond where perhaps a hun-
dred blossoms could be picked daily, to the present
farm of some 25 ponds, where, she said, in the
height of the season one could pick between 3000 and
4000 Lilies every day. Methods of culture, variation

and hybridization of species were discussed and illus-
trated, as well as some of the more practical prob-
lems encountered in the handling and shipping of the
Lilies. Mrs. Fowler also showed and described some
of the odd and unusual plants cultivated, among these
being the Egyptian Papyrus, which attains a height
of 6ft. or 7ft. ; the Water Poppy, Venus Fly-Trap and
the Pitcher Plant. She particularly emphasized the
fact that Water Lilies, in general, are quite hardy
and can be grown easily, and also presented a series
of views showing how a small pond can add materi-
ally to the scenic effect of any garden.

Scientific Research

Dr. Frederick Coville, botanist in the Department
of Agriculture, the next speaker, spoke on acid soils
and the effect of such soils on certain plants and
flowers. This lecture brought out for the first time
the results of experiments along this line which are
being carried out by the Department of Agriculture
and which explain. Dr. Coville stated, why so much
difficulty is encountered in the transplanting of cer-
tain wild flowers in the home garden. Before going
into the main subject Dr. Coville gave the results of
two other experiments which had been carried out.
One was that officials of the Department had suc-
ceeded in getting a Poinsettia to bloom in August,
instead of Christmas, as is natural. This was done by
governing the daylight to which the plant was exposed
so that it had ten hours of daylight every day. The
other experiment showed the beneficial effect which
cold had on some varieties ; a Dahlia which was ex-
posed to chilling periodically, growing much faster
and being much healthier than one which had been
grown in a warm place. Neither of these two experi-
ments have been carried out to auy great extent, but
further experimentation is contemplated in the very
near future along these lines, and it is expected that
some very interesting results will be obtained.

The subject of acid soil experimentation, to which
Dr. Coville devoted most of his remarks, was very
enthusiastically received by those ■present, and the
speaker was frequently interrupted by applause. By

the use of slides Dr. Coville showed the remarkable
results attained with such soil in the growing of
Blueberries, Rhododendron, several varieties of or-
chids and Azaleas. Plants were first shown growing
in ordinary loam, most of them being rather sickly,
and some of them dying within a year. The same
plants were then shown transplanted to acid soil,
and the results were remarkable. Sickly, stunted
plants were transformed into hardy profuse growths
within periods of six months to a year, while of two
plants planted simultaneously, one in loam and the
other in acid soil, the latter, in the same space of
time, grew infinitely faster and hardier. One of the
most spectacular examples was that of an Azalea
which had been given up as hopeless by a local flo-
rist, but which, under the treatment described, at-
tained fully normal growth within eight months and
brought out a gorgeous mass of flowers.

Dr. Coville also dealt briefly with the subject of,
securing acid soil, and stated that the best method
so far known was the use of sulphate of aluminum.

Dr. Wherry, of the Bureau of Chemistry, and
owner of probably the largest wild flower garden in
the country, spoke on his garden and some of the
problems encountered in transplanting wild species to
the home gardens.

Dr. Bartsch, president of the Wild Flower Preser-
vation Society, who presided over the meeting, read
a communication from Mrs. E. H. Bouton of Roland
Park, Baltimore, urging the preservation' of the Holly
in America.

The concluding address was presented by Dr. Saf-
ford. and dealt with the origin of certain species of
wild flowers, which have been brought to such a point
of cultivation that the public in general no longer
thinks of them as once being wild. As an example
he gave the Dahlia, which grew wild in Mexico, and
was first noticed and described by a Spaniard in
1507.

This concluded the Fall convention. The next
meeting will be in June at Newport, R. I., when the
annual election of officers will take place. C. L. L.

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

"Bugs" for Plants

The several notes relating to the treat-
ing of plants with bacteria will certainly
interest many, but while Mr. Schlect of
Plymouth, Mass., has apparently been
using the system for some years to his
own satisfaction, Mr. Holmes' experiments
have not progressed far enough to dem-
onstrate the actual returns from a crop
over a given period.

Mr. Field is naturally enthusiastic re-
garding his Dextrogerm and, as he has
been experimenting for ten years or
more, he doubtless has . reasons for be-
ing so. Having a position worth a good
deal more than most of us handle, it is
not a case of boosting a product that may
not be worth while, while he has dis-
tributed Dextrogerm in a small way for
years, the process has been more or less
experimental. Originally, the method of
applying was more or less elaborate, the
treatment of ailing fruit trees calling for
a regular outfit of tubes and metal frag-
ments to get the magnetic influence of
tree treatment which might startle a
practical man; indeed he does not hide
the fact that some years ago he had to
visit Washington to convince the author-
ities that he was not putting up some
hocus-pocus, money making proposition.
By the introduction of carnalite ore into
the peat, the necessity for using other
appliances is apparently removed so that
it calls for no different method than that
of applying manure.

Giving 'em Gas

In regard to the use of carbonic acid
gas, I had the pleasure of recently in-
specting an experimental outfit. Two
greenhouses of the same size have been
erected, one as a control, the other fitted
with pipes through which the gas is let
loose four hours a day. The gas pipes
are carried along the fronts of the side
benches and also down the center of
the house, the gas coming from cylinders
such as are used at soda fountains. Spe-
cial attachments, of course, control the
gas. The two scientists carrying out the
experiments are not horticulturists, but
they have enlisted the services of a well
known grower, and a practical man is
employed to look after the plants, which,
in each house, are exactly the same. They
were planted at the same time, in the

same quantities and in the same posi-
tions. They include Calendulas, Carna-
tions, Forgetmenots, Callas, Tomatoes,
Snapdragons, Poinsettias, etc. At the
time of my visit, the gas had been in ac-
tion only twelve days, the plants having
been in position 19 days. The difference
between the treated and untreated houses
was decidedly evident, the Carnations, For-
getmenots and Calendulas showing the
most marked change. The experiments
are being carried out on the same lines as
those made in Germany in recent years.
I am hoping to see these houses again
later and may secure some pictures if
warranted. Whether or no, the treat-
ment by gas as a commercial proposition
has, of course, to be decided; everything
depends upon whether plants treated will
give greater or quicker crops sufficient to
cover the installation of the outfit and
gas costs in a ratio that will make it
profitable. I might add that the gas has
no odor and has no effect on humans un-
less released in such quantities as to upset
the balance of oxygen; it will then cause
hard breathing.

The National Sweet Pea Society

The coming retirement of Henry D.
Tigwell, who has served as secretary for
eight years, calls up memories. He is
the third secretary in the 22 years his-
tory of the society. Unlike his two pre-
decessors, Horace J. Wright and Chas. H.
Curtis, Henry Tigwell was never a writ-
ing man; he is just a dyed-in-the-wool
flower grower, although he started in the
commercial game quite late after years of
service in the post office. "Henry" was
never any great "shakes" to look at, just
a little, jovial bald-headed man, full of
pep and pugnacity, and a mania for
Sweet Pea growing, although he grows lots
of other things as well.

I first became acquainted with him
when, in the fight for the Sutton cup, he
set nearly a score of competitors back
through being able to count according to
the schedule, which the others did not.
The late W. A. B. was one of the judges.
"Tiggy" because of his bubbling enthusi-
asm, made lots of friends and when Mr.
Curtis gave up the secretary's office, owing
to business pressure, it was natural that
he should be nominated for the job. But
there were other nominations also; three,
I believe. In the first round, two tied
and thereby compelled another vote.
Again there was a tie for top place forc-
ing a third vote, and then as a climax, the
two remaining nominees tied. A fourth
vote was favored by some, but the chair-

man used his vote and thereby Henry D.
Tigwell became secretary. I was in an-
other room serving as a scrutineer of bal-
lot for committee so did not see the ex-
citement. Perhaps it was as well, for I
was the other nominee.

"Tiggy" soon found that a secretary's
life is not all honey, especially in the
war years. On one occasion he told me
he would hold the job until I got into
civvies again. He has held it past the
time — I feel I served him a poor deal.

Mosaic and Curl

Not so long since, the Maine authori-
ties were hinting that Roses were a men-
ace to Potatoes as the same aphis passed
one to the other, the Rose being the host
plant. The trials at Ormskirk do not ap-
pear to confirm the theory that aphis
brings about mosaic. One variety, very
susceptible to mosaic, was closely adjoin-
- ing another variety perfectly free from
the disease. It is possible, therefore,
that varieties of Potatoes can be suscep-
tible or immune to mosaic; certainly the
study of immunity to insects and diseases
is likely to prove more beneficial than all
the quarantines.

Wooly Aphis

Speaking of immunity, calls to mind
the wooly aphis which, in Europe, is
known as American blight. It is one of
the most serious Apple pests because its
activities are devoted to both root and
branch. It is fairly well known that
Northern Spy is fairly immune to this
aphis and both in California and in New
Zealand and Australia Northern Spy is
largely used as a stock for grafting. In
New Zealand a parasite of the wooly
aphis, called Aphatinus mali is being dis-
tributed among the fruit orchards. If
this parasite is truly effective, the wooly
aphis may prove less difficult to deal
with. The fact that the pest spends part
of its time on the Elm tends to make its
control none too easy.

The Heating Question

It would seem that the shortage of
coal has induced lots of growers and seem-
ingly all the trade papers to think and
talk about oil fuel. As might be ex-
pected the Heating and Ventilating Mag-
azine is strong on oil heating as it af-
fects domestic and other buildings, but in
New York City oil furnaces call for a
licensed fireman. Another fuel that is
also considered is coke which, as is well
known, is the residue from soft coal after
its gas has been extracted. In this sec-

tion hard coal and oil gas have been so
readily available, that coal gas and coke
fuel have not received much considera-
tion and yet I recently saw a newspaper
statement to the effect that New York
pays an ultra high gas rate because of
this neglect. Practically all the gas used
in England is made from soft coal but in
addition, a veritable horde of by products
is obtained. These by-products being
sold permit a cheap gas. It is well
known that Germany used to import huge
quantities of coal tar from other coun-
tries from which various dyes, acids, ex-
plosives, etc., were made. With the out-
break of war England utilized her coal
tar for making not only dyes, picric acid
and other similar lines, but also benzol
for driving autos, meanwhile keeping the
coke for fuel purposes. More coke fuel
is probably used in greenhouse boilers
in England than coal and many people
use it for mixing with coal for house
heating. Coke burns readily and with as
much heat as hard coal in closed ranges
and furnaces, and while it bulks twice as
much as hard coal, it is infinitely cheap-
er. In England before the war coke
could be bought in car loads at less than
half the cost of even soft coal. In the
soft coal areas of TJ. S. it would appear
that coke and other by-products including
sulphate of ammonia are being utilized,
but here, we are so obsessed with hard
coal that it is not easy to find coke. As
the Heating and Ventilating Magazine
states, coke is an ideal fuel for house
heating, being clean, light and smokeless,
requiring no attention if crushed to the
right size. The only difference in handling
of coke and hard coal is that the furnace
should be packed high with coke.

A Chemical Sterilizer

The British chemists don't seem to let
go of the idea that the soil is the place
to get after many pests and diseases, and
each year an advance step appears to be
made. I note that a well-known manufac-
turer of spray materials and spraying
machinery is now offering a liquid steri-
lizer called Eellite. This new liquid has
apparently proved itself a destroyer of
various vegetable diseases, including stripe,
streak and club, affecting Cucumbers and
Tomatoes, and also insect pests including
eelworm. It is claimed that English and
Holland bulb growers have used Eellite
with great success against eelworm, at a
fraction of the cost of steam.

That's what we are after; we don't
want just new things that accomplish
no more than the old, we want things
that will do as well or better at less cost.

The Market

Oct. 30. — 'Mums by the truck load;
whites, yellows, pinks; 'Mums of all sizes
and colors including Pompons poured in
on the market this week and during the
close of last week. They came in such
profusion that neither the wholesalers or
retailers knew what to do with them, to
insure a profitable price for the grow-
ers. Unseasonably warm weather; the
Indian Summer has come on again with
temperatures at 65 to 80 degs., is playing
"hob" with florists and producers, not
only here, but in the Georgia and Tennes-
see sections which ship to this market.
The Chrysanthemum glut was reported to
be the worst of several years and, due to
the warm weather, the blooms lost their
pep and became droopy and mushy, to
quote one of the leading commission men.
Stock was selling as low as 4c. apiece for
sizeable 'Mums; the best price paid was
35c at the commission houses. Blooms
had to be extraordinary in size, fresh-
ness and richness of coloring to get that
price. Commission men said that the un-
seasonable weather had defeated all cal-
culations of shippers, so that flowers
grown here, came into active competition
with stock shipped in, thus demoralizing
the market generally.

This condition is true of Carnations
and Roses also. All are praying for cold
weather, or at least a difference in tem-
peratures between the Tennessee-Georgia-
Alabama sections, and the Ohio Valley
States. Carnations and Roses were also
in poor condition and hard to keep suit-
able for shipping. Dealers had no com-
plaint as to the demand, but said they
had to sell so cheap that there was no
money in the big trade. Retailers have
been holding off, buying only from hand
to mouth, largely because they had no
facilities to handle the soft flowers.

eons and political gatherings made busi-
ness brisk. Another feature which is
coming into more prominence is the ten-
dency to purchase cemetery vases, artifi-
cial flowers, durable wreaths of Ruscus
for Memorial use instead of wax flowers.
The volume of this class of business was
heavier here than ever known before.
Other sales were about the same volume
' as last year and the year previous. Stock
dressings for windows, house decorations,
including Fall foliage, went better than
ever.

The Briggs-Cunningham wedding was
the big floral event of the week, Jones
& Co. providing 500 Callas and 500 white
'Mums for the altar at the church, while
Mickley furnished the home decorations,
using quantities of Premier Roses, Plu-
mosus, string Smilax and wild Smilax.

Some late Dahlias, Cosmos, Larkspur
and Feverfew were offered last week, but
sales were slow, the trade favoring 'Mums.

The Market

The Chrysanthemum is king this
week, and there is a steady increase in
the amount of stock coming in. Chryso-
lora, Chieftain, Marigold and Oconto are
the heavyweights, and they are in most
cases very well grown indeed. The Pom-
pons are not so good in comparison, there
being a severe shortage of good yellow;
in fact, no really good Pompons have
made their appearance as yet. The out-
door "Mums sell well, but they haven't
that finished appearance that the critical
buyer demands.

Roses improve weekly, and excellent
stock is to be had at attractive prices.
Premier, Columbia, American Legion,
Ophelia, Butterfly and Killarney are the
best and come in many sizes. There has
been a vast improvement in the grading
of Roses, which is gratifying. American
Beauty is of better color also, and is in
stronger demand.

Carnations have strengthened with the
cooler weather, and Laddie is most at-
tractive. Valley continues scarce, but
orchids are quite plentiful and cheaper
than they have been for many a day.

Easter Lilies in steady shipments are
pleasing and meet with a ready sale.
Calendula hangs on; just mediocre stock
that has to be pushed to sell. Violets are
cleaned up every day, but they lack keep-
ing qualities and are a poor buy. Greens
continue good.

The plant market has improved, and
'Mums in variety are a most welcome ad-
dition. Lorraine and Cincinnati Begonias
are making their appearance, and with
Cyclamen, Cherries and Primroses the
situation is better than it has been for
months.

Cleveland Florists Club

The regular monthly meeting of the
Cleveland Florists Club will be held Mon-
day evening, Nov. 6, at the Hollenden.
President Witthuhn, who has recently re-
turned from Europe, after an extended
tour, will make his initial appearance in
the chair. A large attendance is looked
for. Come and hear the plans for the
coming year.

Cleveland Horticultural Society

The regular meeting of this society
has been moved up to Nov. 2, on account
of the flower and vegetable show, which
will be held Thursday and Friday, Nov.
9 and 10. This is a very important meet-
ing, as final plans for the show will be
discussed, and also the nomination of
officers for the ensuing year.

The entry list of the show is a notable
one, and competition for the various
prizes will be very keen. Two thousand
invitations have been sent out, and the
sale of tickets goes merrily on. A hun-
dred window cards are displayed, which
speak for the progress of the hustling
show committee, headed by Wm. Richards.

The Keith Palace Opening

The event of the Fall season in a
flowery way will be the opening on Mon-
day, Nov. 6, of Keith s new Palace
Theatre, at 17th and Euclid, sts. This
beautiful building, erected at a cost of
five million dollars, will be a mass of
flowers, judging from the way orders are
coming in from all over the world. The-
atrical people from everywhere will at-
tend, and not only baskets and bunches
of flowers will be conspicuous, but corsages
galore of the better kind will add to the
rare beauty of this momentous occasion.

Auburn, N. Y.

News Notes

Business continues fair; there is
less than the usual amount of funeral
work. In cut flowers, trade is good and
there is not only the seasonable demand
for Chrysanthemums, but also for Car-
nations and Roses. Of the Chrysanthe-
mums, Chrysolora and Pink Chieftain
are preferred. Pompons continue in
popularity. Snapdragons, Peas and Vio-
lets have made their appearance but only
in small quantity. Stock generally is of
good quality, but limited as to quantity.
About 20 students in commercial flori-
culture from Cornell University in charge
of Prof. Arno Nehrling, made their an-
nual visit to Auburn, inspecting the Pat-
rick Store, Gilbert's Greenhouses and
Shaw & Boehler's Greenhouses. W. B.

Seattle, Wash.

Trade Notes

Excellent Chrysanthemums, both
local grown and imported, are arriving in
quantity, and it appears to be the opin-
ion of the majority that business is
stepping lively.

Frank McBratney of the B. Hammond
Co., speaking for the wholesale trade,
says business is at least 50 per cent bet-
ter than for some time past. This house
is receiving a fine line of Pompons and
Singles from A. B. Matthiesen, the Wilson
ave. grower. They include Lillian Doty,
Buckingham, Bronze Buckingham and
Source d'Or. From H. M. Hansen, West
Seattle, Begonia Lorraine "is being re-
ceived in quantity. White and Yellow
Turner, White and Pink Chieftain and
Bronze Kahn are the most popular among
large Jap varieties arriving. I discov-
ered a shipment of the old single Lady-
smith, a variety I grew as an outdoor bor-
der scrt some 15 years ago. The trueness
to type of this present day stock is re-
markable.

Rosaia Bros, made a specialty last
week of combination baskets, which found
a ready sale. Each basket contained a
cyclamen and a fern. The baskets were
of the plain, square wicker type, the idea
being that the plants, being in pots, can
be transferred to separate jardinieres to
suit the whim of the purchaser. The bas-
ket can be used for any other purpose.
At this store, I noted a very effective or-
namental Pepper, which I failed to recog-
nize, which is called locally the Chinese
Lantern. This name accurately des-
cribes it, the fruits in various shades of
yellow and red, hanging in profusion.

Bealls' Greenhouse, Vashon Island, will
be in the thick of their Pompon Chrys-
anthemum crop this coming week; their
400 footer, planted to yellow Turners, is
showing great promise and in two weeks
should be some picture. They are in-
stalling a new 250 H. P. tubular boiler
at this plant.

The Woodland Flower Shop has a nov-
elty in art ware bowls of various sizes,
containing water and chunks of Red-
Wood, which are sprouting after the man-
ner of the Japanese fern ball, Davallia
bnllata. Some really choice Valley from
the woodland Park Floral Co., Sumner.,
are being handled by this store. An at-
tractive little booklet, called "The Fleu-
rette," is being issued by this store to its
customers, also cards on the proper meth-
ods of treating cut flowers.

R. L. Hunter of the State Nursery,
Yakima, was a visitor in Seattle Friday
last.

R. Wohn, representing the Decorative
Paint Co. of New York City, is calling on
the trade this week.

Messrs King and Conover, manufacturers
of baskets and other Willow art ware
suitable for the florists trade, are opening
up a local factory here.

There are rumors of more trouble with
the local Japanese growers, this time, the
Chrysanthemum crop is the cause of it.

At a local growers meeting held on Oct.
17 Tom Wylie, presiding, committees were
appointed to interview the City Parks
Board on the selling of plants to the
public from the greenhouses of the city
parks. Also another to investigate the
matter of Credits among the trade.

Secretary of National Sweet Pea
Society (British) Retiring

From a special committee, we learn that
Henry D. Tigwell, who took over the sec-
retaryship of the National Sweet Pea
Society at the end of 1913, is about to
retire, owing to the increasing pressure
of his business. During the war years
and since, he has never spared himself
to further the interests of the society
and the Sweet Pea.

It has been decided to present him with
the gold medal of the society and, in ad-
dition, some token of appreciation from
the individual members.

Possibly there are some old associates
of Mr. Tigwell who would like to join
m this presentation fund. Remittances
may be sent to Charles H. Curtis, Garden-
ers Chronicle, S. Tavestock st, London
W. C. 2, England.

Prospective Christmas Returns

It is up to us to advise as often as we
can, but quite often questions are be-
yond our ability to answer.

A subscriber in Wisconsin tells us that
he opened a flower shop in a leading city
of that State last August. He has a good
location and in October was doing an
average business of $6000 a year. He
then puts the following question:

"What amount of business may a new
flower shop expect at Christmas, that is
doing an average business of $6000 a
year, and which intends to do some good
advertising in advance?"

Will some one of our readers who is do-
ing about this amount of business a year,
and who is located in a fair sized city
where opportunities for doing a good
Christmas business are fairly evident, be
willing to answer this question; that is
to say, so far as his own experience goes?

Six thousand dollars a years means an
average of $500 a month, or perhaps
$600 a month for the busy months and
less for the inactive ones; so is it not
possible for the inquirer, having done
some special advertising, to expect to do
a business of $1000 to $1200 at least in the
month of December, $500 to $600 of which
would accrue from Christmas returns.?
This certainly should be the minimum.

How Much is a
Paper Read ?

It seems a safe bet that this is
the most pertinent question of all
in determining the true standing of
a paper.

The conception of the editors of
The Exchange is, that a paper
must do more than just print the
same sort of reading matter each
week if it is to be thoroughly read.
Following this thought our ad man
says that if a paper does no more
than run the same line of chatter
each week, its ad columns are re-
ferred to only when necessity arises,
thereby bringing advertisers no
more orders than would come their
way in the regular order of things.
The ad man maintains that a paper
that publishes material each week
that '"nobody wants to miss" is the
type of trade journal paper that
creates sales for its advertisers.
Such a paper exemplifies the service
that constitutes the difference be-
tween a mere order taker and a
real salesman.

In the Garden of Eden

Did Adam Fall Through Eating Too
Many Apples?

How many Apples did Adam and Eve
eat in the Garden of Eden? This sub-
ject was recently dealt with in a play
which appeared in Melbourne. Was only
one Apple eaten, or were there ten? For
instance, Eve eight and Adam two (Eve
ate, and Adam too) . No, there were
more than ten; for Eve eight, and Adam
eight, total 16. The two men who were
debating the point were joined by a third,
who said both were wrong, for Eve 8,
and Adam 82, total 90. "Now you men-
tion it," said the first speaker again, "I
begin to see I underestimated, for if
Eve 81, and Adam 812, the total would

be 893." But speaker No. 2 returned
to the attack: "Eve 814 herself, and
Adam 8124 Eve, therefore the total was
8938. Speaker No. 3 looked on cynically,
but said nothing. Just then a lady ap-
peared, who said: "All wrong, gentlemen,
Eve 8142 know how it tasted, and Adam
28142 see what it might be like, thus the
total was 36,284. Am I not right, Mr.
Reporter?"

"I'm sorry to disagree with a lady,"
replied the pen pusher, "but I happen to
know that the prehistoric reporter of the
'Fruit World,' who was on the spot, has
recorded that Eve 8142 and Adam 28242i
have a share in the ruin; thus the totnl
was 290564. Afterward Adam got tue
pip."

The Market

The market leaves little to be de-
sired from the viewpoint of the supply of
stock. There is plenty of everything and
the supply will continue large as long as
Chrysanthemums are offered. The demand
has not kept up with the increased supply,
for which reason prices have not advanced
to what should be expected by Nov. 1.
The shipping trade is much better than
the local. Some good orders went out to
New Orleans Sunday for All Saints' Day,
but this trade is not what it has been in
years past. The California Chrysanthe-
mum growers have been shipping to New
Orleans and that cuts off a portion of
the trade from the Chicago market. What
orders come from there now are mainly
for Roses, Carnations and the choicer
lines of stock that cannot be procured
elsewhere.

The supply of Roses is all that could be
desired and the quality also lis very
good. The varieties are more limited than
usual, many of the popular ones of a
year or more ago having been dropped by
the growers. Premier is a leader by long
odds in point of supply, with Columbia
second. Crusader is popular in its color,
while Milady is a favorite with many buy-
ers. Butterfly has taken the place of
Ophelia. There is less white than of
any of the colors. Some growers continue
to raise White Killarney which is always
in demand. The newer whites are not
yet in sufficient quantity to be a fea-
ture. Short stock is selling at $2 per
100 and from there prices range all the
way up to $25 for fancy grades.

Chrysanthemums are the dominant fea-
ture of the market, being in large supply
at all the wholesale houses. The local
growers have the market to themselves,
all orders for California grown stock hav-
ing been canceled for the season. In
fact, some of the recent shipments were
refused. There is a fine assortment of va-
rieties, all medium grade or commercial
blooms; extra large stock has come in so
far. The demand is precarious. Last

week the demand ran to yellow, of which
there was not a large supply, white and
pink predominating. This week there is
more yellow and the situation is easier,
but whites and pinks remain in largest
supply. Medium to fancy grades are sell-
ing at from $4 to $5 per doz., with ordi-
nary stock bringing from $2 to $3 per doz.
There are plenty of Pompons that bring
from 50c. to $1 per doz. bunches.

There is a good supply of Sweet Peas
but not as large as the growers anticipate
for holiday trade. These are bringing $2
per 100 with slight fluctuations.

The first Violets of the season have ar-
rived, double varieties from the Hudson
River growers, as well as home grown
singles. The first shipments of doubles
arrived in rather poor condition and did
not bring the price of the local grown
singles. The doubles sell at from 50c.
to 75c. per 100. The singles bring slightly
more — from 75c. to $1 per 100.

There are plenty of Carnations for all
demand and the quality is improving right
along. The price the past week ranged
from $3 to $5 per 100.

There is no large supply of Lilies and
all that comes in are easily disposed of
for $25 per 100. There is enough Val-
ley at a standard price of $8 per 100.
There are more orchids than there have
been, but still no large supply. Some of
the local retailers featured them in their
advertising the past week at $1 retail.
There are plenty of greens of all kinds,
Boxwood and Winterberries now are com-
ing in. Several of the houses kept open
Sunday receiving orders and shipping to
New Orleans.

Notes, etc.

Jas. J. K"arins, representing Henry
A. Dreer Co., Philadelphia, has been in
the city for a few days, calling on the
trade. He will go from here to the St.
Louis Chrysanthemum show.

Prof. Dorner of the Department of
Floriculture, University of Illinois, was
here Friday, purchasing supplies for his
department.

A new retail flower store is to be

New York City

The Market

Oct. 31. — On Wednesday and
Thursday of last week the demand was
scarcely medium, but on Friday morn-
ing it became quite active, and on Sat-
urday morning was fairly large. But,
there was not much doing in the way of
buying on the afternoons of these two
days. The demand on Monday was hardly
what might be expected and, on Tuesday,
became decidedly small. As regards ar-
rivals, there is a sufficiency of all sea-
sonable items of stock. The leading fea-
ture in the market, both as regards sup-
ply and demand, is Chrysanthemums.

The medium supply of American Beau-
ty Boses is meeting with a moderately
good demand at prices ranging from 3c.
to 50c. each, covering all grades. Top
grade blooms of other varieties are
bringing from 12e. to 20c. each in gen-
eral. But Hadley is realizing 25c. and
Key 35e. No. 2 grade blooms are fetch-
ing $3 a 100, but a few of inferior qual-
ity are reported as going out at $2.

Carnations are in normally large sup-
ply and are meeting with a rather bet-
ter demand at prices ranging from $1.50
to $5 per 100.

Cattleyas are in small supply, and as
they are meeting with a moderately large
demand, the trend in prices is upward.
Species are selling at 35c. to §1 each, but
choice blooms of these, occasionally sell
at higher prices and hybrids are bring-
ing ?1.50 each and upward. The supply
of Cypripediums is larger and they are
selling at $3 to $4 per doz.

Gardenias continue to be in rather
small supply and are cleaning up at $3
to $5 and occasionally $6 per doz. Lily
of the valley is moving out rather slowly
at $1 to $6 per 100. Lilies are in smaller
supply and are bringing $15 to $20 per
100. There are small advance arrivals
of Paperwhite Narcissus, which are sell-
ing at $1 per doz.

The arrivals of Chrysanthemums are
extra heavy and include a great number
of varieties of the several types. Those
of the large flowered type are selling at
$1.50 to $5, occasionally $6 per doz., and
we may add that there are small sales
of what are really exhibition blooms at
higher prices. Pot 'Mums are now quite
a feature in the wholesale cut flower mar-
ket, and they are meeting with a medium
to large sale at $12 to $18 per doz. Cut
Pompons and Singles are meeting with a
fair demand at 25e. to 75c. per bunch.

The supply of Snapdragon, selling at
35c. to $1 a bunch, is gradually increas-
ing, and there are larger arrivals of
Sweet Peas of good quality at $2 to $3
and occasionally $4 per 100. Violets are
on the short side and doubles are selling
at $1 and Singles at 75c. to $1 per 100.

There is no shortage in any kind of
indoor grown or hardy foliage. Of these,
Asparagus and boughs of Oak foliage are
meeting with the largest demand.

Totty's Chrysanthemum Show

All of this week there has been a
Chrysanthemum Show at Totty's retail
flower shop at 4 East 53d st. This dis-
play, which has been freely advertised in
the Neiv York Times, Herald and Tribune,
is undoubtedly the largest, most varied
and most worth while display of this flower
ever staged in any retail flower shop in
New York City. It embraces cut blooms
and potted plants in all types and in
every color seen in Chrysanthemums. The
new, the newer, and the standard va-
rieties are to be seen, from immense
blooms of the Japanese types; down
through the singles and anemones to the
tiniest Pompons, and all are from Totty's
own greenhouses in Madison, N. J. The
show is drawing daily a large number of
delighted visitors.

The varieties shown are so many that

it is in vain for us to try to describe

them. However, we could not help but

note the great blooms of the varieties

Exchange has taken a look at the win-
dow displays in a hundred or more of the
retail flower stores of this city during
the last few days, he has been able to find
only1 one of these in which Hallowe'en is
distinctly featured; this is Le Moult's, at
51 West 28th st. The window floor was cov-
ered with black and orange colored ma-
terial, and the placards announcing Hal-
lowe'en were of yellow with a black bor-

Shop. W. F. Schneider, who is to be
manager, has for some time been conduct-
ing a large Peony farm at Elmhurst.

Paul Klingsporn of the Flower Growers
states they had a good All Saints Day
trade for New Orleans. It takes 26 hours
to get stock three from Chicago. In white
Roses they are this week handling some
good stock of Angelus and Medina.

Wm. F. Schofield Co., 738 N. State St..
has been incorporated, with a capital
stock of $10,000. The incorporators are
Wm. F. Schofield, Mrs. Nellie Schofield
and Dean O'Bannon. The company will
establish other stores in various sections
of the city.

The greenhouses of Vaughan's Seed
Store, at Western Springs, are sending
some nice Caprice Chrysanthemums to
the local retail shops.

A. Miller of the American Bulb Co.
was unable to attend the bulb conference
at Washington, D. C, on account of im-
portant business matters at home.

Arrangements are all complete for the
big outing at Maywood Thursday. With
a continuation of fine weather like we
have been having, it promises to be a
great event.

Hans Jepson of Maywood is sending
some of the finest yellow Chrysanthemums
so far seen on the market this season to
the Joseph Foerster Co. It is Golden
Glory, a new variety recently introduced
by Bauer & Steinkamp, Indianapolis.

Wm. F. Schofield, who has been con-
ducting a flower store on North State St.,
is preparing a branch store at 1143 Devon
ave. Paul Richmond, recently of Okla-
homa City, Okla., will be in charge.

The Chicago Wholesale Cut Flower As-
sociation held a meeting the past week
at which some important business was
transacted. Another meeting will be held
this week. A. E. Teich & Co., who have
the matter in hand of securing a new lo-
cation for the wholesale flower market, is
prepared to report. The new location is
on W. Lake st. and Jefferson st. It is
now up to the wholesalers to sign up for
space which is a matter requiring much
consideration.

Fred Lautenschlager of the Brunswick-
Kroeschell Co. is back from a two weeks
trip through the East. He got back just
in time to mail out the club notices for
the field day at Maywood. He reports
business good and will be on hand at the
St. Louis flower show.

The Foley Greenhouse Mfg. Co. moved
to its new home the past week in Forest
Park. It is an uptodarte establishment and
only 40 minutes from the heart of Chi-
cago.

Kuhlmann & Weick are having wonder-
ful success in Sweet Pea growing. The
new house built by the A. G. M. Co. last
Summer is a sight worth going all the way
out to Melrose Park to see.

George J. Ball of Glen Ellyn, noted
Sweet Pea grower, has determined to try
heating by an oil burning equipment and
has contracted with F. R. Crane, Jr., t5
install an equipment of two of his large
boilers.

Paul C. Heitmann, Melrose Park is an
enthusiastic Sweet Pea grower, of which
he makes a specialty. He grows nothing
else and all his houses were specially con-
structed for this purpose. He is cutting

Buffalo, N. Y.

Roses are coming in a little more
abundantly, including fine Columbia, Pre-
mier, Ophelia, Cecil Brunner and Ameri-
can Beauty.

Carnations are improving in size and in
length of stem. Some good varieties can
be had now.

Chrysanthemums in yellow and white
are quite plentiful. The Mandean and
all shades of lavender rose and pink are
scarce, waiting for the later crop. Pink
seems late in blooming this year.

Violets are quite fine and the color is
good for this time of .the year. There is
not much demand as yet, but the season
is promising.

Lily of the Valley, Calendulas and
Pompons of different varieties help fill
the market. In fact, the market has
been better supplied during the last few
days than for some time, which is ad-
vantageous for all retailers. They really
appreciate stock now after having been
through a few weeks of absolute scarcity
in everything. It ^ias been almost an
impossibility to obtain even enough to fill
special orders.

CARE IN CHOOSING VARIETIES. — Many varieties of this type have been introduced within the past year or two, numerous of which have
little or no merit. Supplying as we do many of the largest Sweet Pea growers in this country, we spare no effort to ascertain the best commercial
varieties, all of which are given a thorough trial as to their "Florists Value" before being offered to the trade.

The Market

Oct. 31. — The market situation has
not much changed, one way or another,
since last week. The demand in all lines
of stock has kept even with the supply,
and prices are aDout the same. The only
exception is with Roses, which have
weakened a little within the last two
days. The new Rose, Commonwealth, is
giving great satisfaction, both with re-
tailers and the public. The same may
be said of Angelus, of which some good
flowers are sent to the m'arket, although
as yet in limited quantities. Crusader,
it seems, has come to stay, and always
realizes a good price, as compared with
the ordinary varieties.

Carnations are generally coming into
their own, in spite of the presence of
Chrysanthemums. The supply is not over
large, so far, and the quality satisfactory
for this time of the season. Several new
introductions, like Eldora, Gold Dust,
Natalie, Surprise and one or two others,
are finding a good reception. The varie-
ties named have been tried out for years
and have come through with clean records.

Chrysanthemums are now coming to
the front, although not to any alarming-
degree, and prices are holding up quite
satisfactorily. The range of varieties
offered is becoming wider from day to
day, especially so with Singles and Pom-
pons, of which the choice is quite large.
Buckingham is easily the most popular
sort, besides which other varieties have
to take a back seat. Of the large varie-
ties we have now, Bonnaffon, Sun Gold,
Chas. Rager, Polly Rose, Chieftain, Mac-
Neice, Glory Pacific, October Frost and
others, with new ones coming every day.
Choice or new varieties, as grown by one
or two of our best specialists, bring as
high as 75c. to $1 per bloom.

Callas and white Lilies are almost
totally absent. Pink speciosums have been
fairly plentiful these last two days. Sweet
Peas and Violets are really scarce and
command good figures.

Orchids and Lily of the Valley are in
normal supply and demand, and the same
is the case with the minor miscellaneous
flowers and greens of all sorts. Autumn,
foliage and red berries are finding a fair
sale. There are to be had some Bouvardia
Humboldtii and some Ranunculus, also a
good supply of Physalis Franchetti.

In pot plants we have good stocks of
Cyclamen, Begonias, Fieus, etc. Red and
yellow Solanums and the red flollyberry
are also prominent.

News Notes

W. Edwin Ulmer, the Boston law-
yer, whose connection with the affairs of
the Waban Rose Conservatories has been
subjected to court investigation for over
two years, was sentenced to the Charles
st. jail, on Oct. 24, for a term of six
months, by Judge Fosdick of the Superior
Court. He was found guilty of making
false returns to the Commissioner of
Corporations of the financial condition of
the Henry Wood Sons Co. and the Waban
Rose Conservatories for the year 1919.
Sentence was stayed, pending the outcome
of exception which Mr. Ulmer is to argue
before the full bench of the Supreme
Judicial Court.

E. E. Randall, who bought some 21
acres of land in Reading, Mass., last
Spring, has made great progress in estab-
lishing a nursery of trees, shrubs, peren-
nials and bulbs. Thousands of Peonies,
Irises, Phlox and other items are already
planted, and four acres, next the street
front, where the soil is exceptionally well
adapted for Rhododendrons and Azaleas,
will be planted to these plants1 at the
earliest opportunity. Mr. Randall has
sold the heavy timber off of a tract of
about five acres and is making the land
ready for cultivation as fast as dynamite
and the stump pullers will allow him. Mr.
Randall's property is well situated near
the center of the town, and Mr. Randall
is an experienced, ambitious plantsman,
so that there is good reason to expect that
he will soon have established a thriving
business.

The Boston Post of Oct. 24, has the
following short note: Uncle Sam's agent
in charge of blister rust control for Wor-
cester County, R. W. Merrick, doesn't
agree with the statement of one writer
that as a result of this rust the Pines at
Winchendon will be gone within five years.
Mr. Merrick says nobody in his right
mind would make such a statement. He

adds: "Regarding the statement that ten
men recently destroyed 19,000 Currant
and Gooseberry bushes in six days, I will
say that you are below the mark. Ten
men would represent two crews, as the
largest crews we ever use consist of a
foreman and six men. I have had seven
crews working here this Summer, and up
to Oct. 1 they have removed considerably
over 1,000,000 wild Currant and Goose-
berry bushes."

A course in landscaping architecture
will be offered in the Evening Polytechinc
School, beginning Monday, Oct. 30, 1922.
The course is designed to fit young men
for work with landscape architects and
to instruct real estate operators, con-
tractors, builders, gardeners and civil
engineers in the practical application of
landscape architecture to their work. The
lectures and classi work will include:
(a) Location of buildings — topographical
relations, wind, sun, etc.; (b) Approach,
roads and walks — gradients and drainage;
(c) Planting design; (d) Architectural
features — gardens, etc.; (e) Construction
details — road building, garden walls, small
structures. The class will meet on Mon-
day evenings from 7 to 9 p.m., from Oct.
30, 1922, to April 2, 1923. The course
will be under the direction of Clifford
N. Cann, a practical architect. Lectures
will be given by prominent landscape ar-
chitects throughout the course. Inspec-
tion trips for the class will be arranged
in the Spring. The tuition is $20, exclu-
sive of membership in the Y. M. C. A.

Boston Market Stockholders Meet

The anmial meeting of the stockholders
of the Boston Flower Exchange, at the
American House, Oct. 28, was attended
by nearly 100 members. In opening the
meeting, president Wm. C. Stickel alluded
to the fact that the organization is now
just 30 years old; that it can look back
upon a prosperous past and pleasant re-
lations among its members. During its
existence the organization has paid divi-
dends to its members every year with the
exception of two. These dividends never
amounted to less than ten per cent, and
have been as high as 40 per cent. The
treasurer's report shows a nighty satisfac-
tory financial condition, which warrants
the payment of a 20 per cent dividend for
this past year.

Clerk Andrew Christensen read the
minutes of the last annual meeting, as
also those of the several special meetings
held during the past year in regard to
transactions connected with the consoli-
dation of the two markets and the acqui-
sition of a new market site and building.

President Wm. C. Stickel praised the
good work done by the committee of .
twenty, selected from members of the
Boston Flower Exchange and Boston Co-
operative Market, which had charge of
selecting and, through the executive com-
mittee of five, of buying the new site and

building, as well as arranging and com-
pleting the transfer of shares of the
Boston Cooperative Market into those of
the Boston Flower Exchange, Inc. The
new site and building, located on Tremont
st. and Warren ave., known as the Cyclo-
rama Building, were acquired for the sum
of $170,000, after several other offers had
been carefully considered and rejected.
It will require about $80,000 to remodel
the building for the needs of a flower mar-
ket as planned.

The new building has a front of 137ft.
on Tremont st. and a depth of 220ft. on
Warren ave., giving a floor space of
30,000 sq. ft., beside a basement, which
has a height of 14ft. in the clear and
which will be available for renting to
wholesale supply dealers. The building
is of iron and brick construction and is
lighted from the circular, dome-shaped
roof. Three wide alleys will extend the
whole length of the building, and besides
the individual stalls occupied by the grow-
ers or their salesmen, there will be larger
stalls of 500 sq. ft. for the use of the
largest growers. The building is to have
a handsome main entrance with four
doors and two entrances, one at each end
of the front. There is almost unlimited
space for automobile parking the whole
length of the building for a width of
45ft. The heating apparatus as con-
tracted for by competent engineers, is
designed to keep the big sales hall at
70 deg. in zero weather. The estimated
income from the rent of space should
amount to $45,000 per year. This is
$30,000 for the big hall and $15,000 for
the basement, etc. The expenses per year
are figured at $27,000. In the opinion of
the great majority of those interested,
the purchase of this property is considered
a fine investment in every particular, and
the committees and officers who had
charge of transacting the sale and the
planning were given a hearty vote of ap-
proval and had their work ratified. After
some little discussion it was voted that
none but growers and producers can be-
come stockholders in the new corporation.
Salesmen who hold stock in the old cor-
porations are entitled to exchange the
same for that of the new, but no addi-
tional stock will be sold to salesmen in
the new market.

Nomination of directors for the new
year was in order, and while waiting for
the proceedings, Peter Fisher escorted to
the front Thomas Stark of Dorchester.
The veteran florist — he is over 80 years
of age and feels as young as a boy of 50—
did not act at all bashful when impor-
tuned to render his well-known song,
"Cruisken Lawn." On the contrary, he
flung the melody on the smoke-filled air
as of yore, and reaped abundant applause
when he repeated the encore.

The nomination being concluded and
the election committee having retired,
President Stickel introduced Carl Engel-
mann of Saffron Walden, England, who
spoke for some little while on flower grow-
ing, packing, shipping and marketing in
England.

Andrew Christensen was re-elected
clerk and treasurer bjr a unanimous vote,
and the following gentlemen were elected
as directors for the ensuing year: Wm.
Stickel, Andrew Christensen, J. Frank
Edgar, Thomas Roland, Edward Wood,
E. Allan Peirce, George Butterworth,
Norris Comley, Samuel J. Goddard.

John E. Nelson, Framingham, Mass., is
putting the finishing touches to a new
King house, 196ft.x37ft., which is planted
to Ward Carnations entirely.

Gardeners and Florists Club of Boston

Over 100 members attended the
October meeting, in Horticultural Hall,
on Oct. 24. President Wm. H. Judd
opened the meeting, and Secretary Wm.
N. Craig read the minutes, reports and
communications. By unanimous vote,
Wm. N. Craig was chosen as lecturer for
the Gardeners and Florists Club Night, at
the Union Agricultural Meeting in Horti-
cultural Hall, on Jan. 18, 1923.

A committee, consisting of Peter Fisher,
chairman, Frederick Coles and Fred J.
Rea, was appointed by the chair to draw
up resolutions on the demise of Herbert
F. Calder of Norwood, who was a mem-
ber of the club since 1905 and who died
suddenly on Oct. 8.

The exhibits for the evening were not
many in number, but they were of high
quality. James Donald of Hingham
showed 11 varieties of single and spray
Chrysanthemums (honorable mention) .
Walter H. Golby, Jamaica Plain, had
two plants of Sutton's hybrids Solanums,
which were much admired on account of
their distinct and graceful habit of
growth and the pleasing arrangement of
the berry clusters along the branches.
These fruits are of a type decidedly differ-

ent from those so common at Christmas —
Cherry (report of merit). The plants were
grown from seed sown in April; they were

Elanted outdoors through the Summer and
ad not been pinched. Mr. Golby also
exhibited four plates of Apples and one
plate of Pears, all of exceptionally fine
quality (report of merit). Andrew K.
Rogers, Readville, displayed nine plates
of Apples and one plate of Pears, which
were perfection (honorable mention).
James Methven showed a plate of Baldwin
Apples which it would be hard to beat
for form, size or color (report of merit).
The lecturer of the evening was Albert
R. Jenks, owner of the Middlesex Fruit
Farms, West Acton, Mass. Mr. Jenks
is well and widely known as a successful
grower of fruit. He keeps abreast of the
times in regard to methods which are apt
to make for better quality of fruit, better
packing, shipping or selling. The lec-
ture dealt almost exclusively with the
culture of Apples, the growing of which,
in Mr. Jenks s opinion, promises better
and safer returns than most any other
crop which can be grown in New England.
Mr. Jenks advised careful selection of
varieties; first in regard to the soil, and
second in regard to the market that is
to be supplied. Too close planting he
finds a source of serious trouble. The or-
chard must be fertilized and the trees
must be sprayed for protection against in-
sects and disease. The picking and pack-
ing requires intelligent supervision, and
marketing the crop profitably is always
a serious proposition. The lecture lasted
almost two hours. The speaker was ten-
dered a rising vote of thanks from his
appreciative audience.

der. There were black witches riding
black brooms and followed by black cats.
Bough of Oak foliage, Chrysanthemums
and Bittersweet, real pumpkins and Corn
stalks and ears entered into the dis-
play. •

Calling recently on Alexander C. Scorn-
modau, 4S5 8th ave., we noted a large and
well arranged window and salesroom dis-
play of seasonable plants in large varie-
ty. For many years, the Scommodaus — ■
father, sons and daughters — have given
much attention to the plant end of the
retail flower business, and have built up
a large and steady demand. But they
have not, during these years, neglected
the cut flower feature of their business.

Calling early this week at Dards, Madi-
son ave., at 44th St., we found H. G.
Perry, the store manager, and his force of
employees quite busy. As to the present
state of business, Mr. Perry said: "We
are not complaining. We are occupied
with many weddings, with steamer busi-
ness, almost as much as in the Spring,
and our F. T. D. business is showing al-
most a phenomenal increase."

After taking an enjoyable look at the
store window at Bunyard's, Madison ave.
and 4Sth St., and finding there as usual, a
fine display of all seasonable orchid
blooms, namely Cattleyas, Cypripediums,
Oncidiums and Zygopetalus, Lily of the
Valley as an accompaniment, and along
with these, some excellent blooms of sea-
sonable 'Mums, we were glad to find in-
side Mr. Bunyard himself, busy as usual.
He tells us that his F. T. D. orders are
now a big and increasing feature of his
business, and that recently in looking over
his books he found that his October
business was almost double that of last
year. Steamer business he tells us is
also good, and has now become an all
year activity. He called our attention to
the fact that this steamer business has
been much helped by the F. T. D. through
many orders from the West and Middle-
West. In fact, nearly 75 per cent, of
steamer orders present come from out-
side towns.

Harry Ramm, Madison ave., at 48th st.
tells us that October has been a good
business month for him, and that as the
season advances this business is gradually
improving. Several wedding orders in Oc-
tober, one of them a very elaborate af-
fair, have helped, and funeral orders and
orders for loose flowers have rounded out
a month of good business.

T. Malbranc and daughter, Johnstown,
Pa., returned from Europe on Friday of
this week.

At George E. M. Stumpp's, 5th ave., at
58th st., we noticed this week a window
display a little out of the usual, namely,
photographs (by Bachrach) of brides
holding, of course, the customary bridal
bouquet. Though these were the main
window feature, nevertheless they were

surrounded by an artistic display of sea-
sonable flowers. Mr. Stumpp, who has
been spending most of the Summer and
early Autumn months at his Southamp-
ton (L. I.) shop, we found back in the
city and finding plenty to do, just as he
has been all Summer at Southampton.

William Kather, 754 Madison aye., re-
ports a number of November weddings al-
ready booked. F. T. D. business, he
says, is excellent. For the last few
years he has been making a feature of
lustre ware bulb and flower bowls and
vases and is now expecting additional
shipments of fine wares of this kind from
England. His store display of these
wares is certainly attractive. We could
not help but note when calling, the ar-
tistic and pleasing arrangement of Bit-
tersweet berries and Physalis, in both
window and salesroom.

Doyle & Booth, 116 West 2Sth st., have
Violets now coming to them in a condi-
tion that is steadily improving as the cool
weather comes on. We noted here also
Snapdragon of a bronze and pink color
and excellent quality from the growing
establishment of James Didato, Bound
Brook, N. J. This firm is now receiving
the entire New York shipment from the
greenhouses of Thomas Young, Jr., Bound
Brook, N. J., the famous grower of fine
oichids, Gardenias and Roses.

The Wholesale Cut Flower Market at
this time, as might be expected, is full
of Chrysanthemums in nearly all the col-
ors in which they come. The arrivals in
bronze are not as yet large, but we noted
at J. J. Coan's, 43 W. 18th st., this week,
some magnificent blooms of the bronze
variety, Glenview. Along with these we
also noted some of the handsome Pink
Perfection, and of Rager and Josephine
Foley.

About the only white Rose we have
seen in the wholesale market for many
years has been the double white Killar-
ney, but the well known Kaiserin seems
to be coming in again. This is a pretty
Rose, by the way. We noted Rose speci-

mens of the variety of excellent quality
at James Rutig & Co.'s, 43 W. 18th St.,
this week. Also fine Sweet Peas in several
shades.

Miss Durkin to Change Her Name

Miss Grace Durkin and Peter Kearn
Kelly will be married at St. Ignatius
Church, 84th st. and Park ave., at tine
9 a.m. Nuptial Mass on Nov. 8, and will
spend their honeymoon in Bermuda. Miss
Durkin for the last seven years has been
head bookkeeper and secretary to J. S.
Fenrieh of 43 West 18th St., and we
hardly need tell those who know her
best that she has filled this position ably,
and in such a manner, by reason of her
uniform affability and courtesy, that she
has made a host of friends among the
wholesale and retail flower trade of this
city. Naturally, it is a little hard for
Miss Durkin to leave all the friends that
she has made among the florists and
whose best wishes she certainly will take
along with her. After returning from
Bermuda, Mr. and Mrs. Kelly will reside
at Astoria, L. I. We may add that Miss
Bessie Mullins will be Miss Durkin's suc-
cessor as bookkeeper and secretary for
Mr. Fenrieh.

Sweet Peas, which have been compara-
tively little seen in the Wholesale Flower
Market since last June, are now beginning
to come in in larger numbers. We noted
some extra fine blooms in all Sweet Pea
colors from the growing establishment of
H. Mamitsch, Tenafly, N. J., at the Hen-
shaw Floral Company, 43 West 18th st.

The 'Mum known as Marigold is to our
mind one of the finest of the yellows, as
far as richness of color is concerned. We
noted some fine blooms of this variety,
and also of Alice Day and Pink Perfec-
tion at Samuel C. Gilbert's, 43 West 18th
st. Mr. Gilbert is "the orchid special-
ist," which reminds us to mention that
he is also receiving some fine Cattleyas,
including some choice hybrids, and also
some Cypripediums of the variety San-
derte.

Trade Notes

Oct. 31.— Saturday, Oct. 28, saw
the retailers preparing for a big day and
everyone stocked heavily. Results belied
the outlook. So it happened that most re-
tailers had a weekend supply and hit the
market very gently Oct. 30.

There is plenty of stock at the time of
writing and the market has not quite got
over the bad effects of a poor week end.
Roses came in heavily, and with the
quantities of Chrysanthemums it wasmore
or less of a buyer's market. Quality is
excellent; the weatherman is seeing to
that. Retail trade is generally good; the
present slight slump is likely to be short-
lived. Last week was above the aver-
age, both in quantity of stock sold and
in the high standard of prices.

Gardenias and Callas are among the
much sought after subjects of the mar-
ket. C4ardenias are either excellent at $6
and $7 a doz., or so poor they are worth
little. Callas are limited in quantity, but
what stock is available is excellent in
quality. They are quoted at %2 and $3.

There are too many Roses; there were
not enough a week ago. Quality improves
daily. Sunburst is in demand, but scarce.
American Beauty is plentiful for all pres-
ent purposes and good looking stock; Co-
lumbia and Double White Killarney are,

perhaps, the leaders. Whether or not the
Rose crops were held back for higher
prices, it is certain that a scarcity one
week and a glut the next is a poor way
of marketing any bloom. Perhaps "Phil"
would be kind enough to "explain his ex-
planations" concerning this matter.

Chrysanthemums reign supreme; Pom-
pons are coming along in good shape, with
more of the deeper tones lacking in the
earlier varieties.
On Refrigerators

Two Philadelphia florists — the Lon-
don Flower Shop and Eugene Bernheimer
— have made a drastic change. Both main-
tain it is for the better. I refer to the
doing away of refrigerators of any kind

in these establishments. The contention is
that while cold storage blooms undoubt-
edly keep better on the ice, they do not
keep so well once they are off the ice. As a
case in point, a vase of Chrysanthemums
left over night in the store will last long-
er, it is claimed, than another vase placed
on ice. Mr. Bernheimer admits that if the
bloom is to be kept several days, the ice
method probably adds to the total length
of life. But if it is to be kept only over
night, the ice method actually reduces this
term. These sentiments are endorsed by
W. B. Taber of the London Flower Shop.
It is admitted by both parties that cold
storage for Roses which are to be kept
any length of time is necessary.

ket. Worthy of mention were the Sweet
Peas at George Aeugle's last week. Va-
rieties Bluebeard and Mrs. Kerr were ex-
cellent.

The Leo Niessen Co. is receiving plenty
of American Beauty Roses. The grower
for this firm, instead of reducing his
plantings after last year, has doubled
them, so that the extra quantity will
probably be continuous. The blooms are
first class.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. report excellent
business — so great a demand, they state,
that supply is actually threatening to run
short. Looks like a big year everywhere.

The Robert Craig Co. is getting ready
for Christmas and, from indications, will
probably clean up in good shape.

The Evil of Favoritism

It is said — and on the evidence al-
ready submitted it seems to be a fact —
that the American Express Co. is not giv-
ing Philadelphia florists the service which
florists in a certain other city are getting.
Will anyone in the trade who has any-
thing to say on this subject from personal
experience kindly get in touch with the
office of The Exchange, 1714 Ludlow St.?
In particular, express shipments Pitts-
burgh way seem to be peculiarly delayed.
This is a matter which can only be rem-
edied by joint effort.

CAMPANULA

CAMPANULA FOR IMMEDIATE SHIPMENT

Our forcing grade.

HOW TO FORCE THEM.

As soon as received, pot them and carry the
plants after that into a frame; they are best off
if they do not freeze, they don't appreciate it.
Up to February they want anything but a warm
house. Leave all the foliage on you can. Hold
the house as near 32 degrees as possible and also
after that time don't subject them to a high
temperature. Lift the plants and heel in a cold
house to be planted out in a solid bed in February,
to be slowly forced into bloom for cut flowers for
late April and during May.

CAMPANULA MEDIUM: Blue, rose and white

Hallowe'en

There is much talk among the flo-
rists of the small number of flowers used
for this yearly event as compared with
other holidays. True, there is no tre-
mendous demand at present. But why
not? Pumpkins are everywhere. Why
not sell a Pumpkin stuffed with moss and
filled with blooms? There is one sugges-
tion which comes from the window dis-
play of the Pennock Bros, store on Chest-
nut st. There are, too, parties galore
throughout the city. The florists could
make it fashionable to wear, say, a large
yellow Chrysanthemum at Hallowe'en par-
ties. It is easy to say that Hallowe'en
is not a very big flower day, but is it
easy to explain why not?

Richard Heron, the well known florist
at 18th and Chestnut, informs the trade
that he has just got out of jail! It's a
fact. Greensburg, Pa., was the unfortu-
nate town. It appears that many dele-
gates arrived there last week for a church
convention, among them Brother Heron.
Accommodations at the local hostelries
were limited. Every available space had
its bed and delegate. The court house and
jail took the overflow, among them Broth-
er Heron. Mr. Heron maintains stoutly
that the accommodations there, where he
spent the week, were even better than at
the hotels — which is saying something for
Greensburg. It must have been an in-
teresting experience, but Mr. Heron is not
likely to have enjoyed it except under
the above related circumstances.

Some extremely large Chrysanthemums
— white and yellow Turner — were noted
at Habermehl's Bellevue-Stratford store,
Oct. 31. The honors are to S. S. Pen-
nock Co.

The electric current was shut off sev-
eral days last week on South 11th st., af-
fecting Crawford's and Craig's.

"Whenever business is dull," said Bob
Stewart of T. Neilson Geiger's, "I just
make up a cigarette bouquet and put it
in the window." The idea is not new — but
it is effective and unique. Anything to
get the public stopping at your window
to gaze!

Masculine Flowers

Why are flowers considered the
prerequisites of femininity? They cer-
tainly are, but why? Working on this
problem, Charles Henry Pox has decided
to attempt something new — a man's flow-
er store.

The excellent location is at 111 S. Broad
st., next door to Hallowell, the millionaire
fruiterer, in the store formerly used by
Leach & Co., cigar importers. Contracts
for the interior and refrigerator and for
the sign work have been let and the grand
opening will occur sometime around De-
cember 1.

But as to the "Man Idea." Right across
the street the Land Title Building har-
bors a population of ten thousand souls —
a small city in itself. On either side are
buildings full of men and the promenaders
of South Broad st. are numerous. Mr.
Fox will try to educate the male sex — from
office clerk to general manager — to buy
flowers.

The new store will do little makeup
work — all this being done at the old
stand. Mr. ' Fox and two live wire as-
sistants will be in charge of the "Man
Idea" shop, while W. Cleaver Harry man-
ages the "mother establishment."

The new branch will be run on the most
modern lines of standardized store keep-
ing; everything that can be standardized
will be. Only through standardization
can the florist hope to reduce his over-
head.

Next Club Meeting

The November meeting of the club
on Tuesday, the sixth, will include sev-
eral interesting features. First, it will
open with a dinner in honor of the in-
coming president, Edward Reid. Other
guests will be officials of the Federal and
State Departments of Agriculture, who
are to be the speakers of the evening.
This function, to be attended by mem-
bers and their ladies, will be held in
the Roof Garden of the Adelphia at 6
p.m.

The literary features of the evening
will be the address of the president, an
illustrated lecture by Prof. C. A. Weigel,
Entomologist, Department of Agriculture,
Washington, on "Some Important Green-
house Insects and Their Control." Prof.
J. G. Sanders, Director of the Bureau

Salem, Mass.

Business in this section is improving
all the time. Funeral work has been
plentiful of late. One big funeral a few
days ago was that of Albert Pierce, son
of a city councilman of the same name.
The father conducts one of the largest
baking businesses in this section. About
$S00 worth of flowers were at the funeral
and included 95 sprays, 14 flat wreaths,
six bouquets, one gates-ajar, 4ft.x4ft.; two
pillows, six medium sized baskets, two
extra large baskets, three standing
wreaths, one standing cross, besides loose
flowers.

Outside flowers have gone for this sea-
son; we have had four or five heavy
frosts.

The new flower shop which opened up
in Town House Square, Salem, a few
weeks ago, reports doing a good business
in cut flowers and plants. This shop is
called the Essex Flower Shop.

Frank E. Smith.

Jersey City, N. J.

A new high class flower store recently
opened its doors at 714 Bergen ave, cor-
ner of Fairmount ave. The proprietors are
Kloss & Follender, who have adopted as
their trademark the letters K & F, sur-
rounded by a green laurel chaplet and the
words, "The Sign of Good Flowers."

The new store is thoroughly uptodate
and among its fixtures is a fountain basin
lined with colored glass marbles which
give a distinctive effect.

The success of the Great Chicago Wholesale Cut Flower Market and the large increase in capital invested is due to the superior class of greenhouses which have been
built. This has been accomplished by the fact Chicago boasts of a large number of greenhouse construction companies with facilities for the work equal to that in any other

A Word About
The HERE and THERE Method

of Building

Ever hunted eggs? Ever taken a little old basket and gone
from one hen's nest to another, sometimes finding some, some-
times not? Weren't there always a few pesky hens that had
their nests way up in the haymow or off under the haystack.

What a difference to gather up the eggs in a modern hen
house, where the fowls are confined in adjoining runways and
everything under entire control.

In comparison, isn't hunting the eggs and gathering them
quite like doing business with a greenhouse building concern
that makes but few of the materials itself, hunting them here,
there and anywhere, as against the concern that makes prac-
tically everything in its own factory?

If you have experienced the exasperating delays caused by
endless shipments from an endless number of sources, you
know full well the advantages of doing business with' a con-
cern that ships direct, directly from its own plant.

As you so well know, no other greenhouse builder has more
than one factory, while we have three located in locations best
suited to saving you freight charges. No other greenhouse
concern makes so complete its own materials. Isn't it, there-
fore, only logical that no other concern has so complete a con-
trol over the quality of its materials, or can so surely insure
their being of a high grade?

Think these facts over, those of you who have been building
by the here, there and anywhere method. Remember that it's
not what the contract price is that's the real cost of your
greenhouse. It's what you get for what you pay. In which
must be figured many things not figured in the original figures.
Things which you seldom have to figure in when you finally
sit down to figure out what our house actually costs you.
Think it over.

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT BOSTON FERNS

By Ralph C. Benedict, Resident Investigator, Brooklyn Botanical Garden
IV— Experimental Evidence and Its Value

O what extent can an experiment answer the

Tarrytown Horticultural Society

24th Annual Fall Show

L question, What constitutes "best" among Boston
Fern varieties? At present the grower, the re-
tailer, and the home owner have no common ground
as a basis of judgment. It has already been sug-
gested that a profitable line of investigation for the
grower and retailer would be to grow types of their
stock in trade in their homes.

This article will describe an attempt to determine
relative values of a large number of fern varieties by
a scientifically conducted experiment on a fairly large
scale. In the language of the newspaper sporting
page the story might begin something like this : "Fern
marathon begins. Thirty different varieties toe the
mark in a six months' race for the all-'round fern
championship." The course is laid out at the Brook-
lyn Botanic Garden. Each fern has its own track

ly one of these once divided forms. Whether al-
ready named or yet to be introduced, they will be
dealt with in future articles, specifically with refer-
ence to their characteristics.

Besides the set of plants being tested at the Brook-
lyn Botanic Garden, nine similar sets have so far
been sent out to the following commercial growers
and agricultural college stations :

Connecticut Agricultural College, Storrs, Conn.
Massachusetts Agricultural College, Amherst, Mass.
Pennsylvania State College, State College, Pa.
Roseoe Baldwin, Pasadena, Cal.
Henry Earrows, Whitman, Mass.
A. M. Davenport, Watertown, Mass.
Wm. K. Harris, Philadelphia, Pa.
F. V. Reppa, Brooklyn, N. Y.
Wollrath & Sons, Waltham, Mass.

The plants sent represented part of the. crop from
the first six months of the Garden test, completed in
July. In January additional sets will be available

WHEN it comes to quality and keen competition, it's
an open question whether any other show can
teach Tarrytown anything, although some shows
may be larger. Tarrytown is not a large place, but it is
the center of a number of private estates of varying sizes,
the gardens of which are controlled principally by men who
gained their earlier experiences somewhere across the
water, and who are, therefore, strongly saturated with
the idea that flower shows are part and parcel of horticul-
tural life. It goes without saying that when their em-
ployers are strong supporters of such a movement, such
exponents of horticulture are never chary about giving
friends Jock, Bill or John a run for their money.

Exhibiting is a serious business with keen gardeners
and failure one year does not induce them to cease trying.
Experienced gardeners are well aware that the tastes of
judges vary and what may count one year is not neces-
sarily the ideal for the future. Rules for judging are right

proper amount of water, and abundant light and
warmth. All the ferns have to do is grow. At the end
of six months, the winner of the race will be the va-
riety which excels the following points:

1. What variety has made "the best growth, the
largest number of new leaves?

2. What variety has produced the most beautiful
leaves?

3. What variety has produced the firmest, most last-
ing leaves?

4. What variety makes the best shaped plant, all
the leaves taken together?

5. What variety has produced the largest number
of new plants?"

The accompanying photograph shows the space set
aside for the test. The stock bench shown is divided
by partitions into 40 separate compartments, about
30 of which are now in use. Overhead on the rack
are examples of larger plants of some of the varieties
in a second stage of the competition, that of deter-
mining relative growth and conformation as pot
plants. The varieties included in this test are only
a relatively small number of all the Boston Fern va-
rieties, those with "plain" or once divided leaves.
Later it is hoped that similar tests may be instituted
for the plume and lace forms.

Following is a list of the contestants so far as they
have recognized names, together with the names of
their sponsors or introducers. Besides these there
are a few "dark horses," at present nameless, some
of which have originated at the Brooklyn Garden. If
one of these should happen to be declared the win-
ner, it may receive the distinction of being named the
"Brooklyn Fern." as Brooklyn is not now among the
cities which have fern namesakes.

Are there any other varieties which should be in-
cluded? New ferns may be entered with the under-
standing that the plants will be held at the Botanic
Garden for comparative growth, Since the present
test is designed to determine absolute values, cultural
and esthetic, it does not follow that a new form to be
valuable must be totally different in appearance from
any other. If it can be demonstrated that it sur-
passes any other in speed of growth, ease of cultiva-
tion, continuity of growth throughout the year, and
keeping qualities, it may nevertheless bear close re-
semblance to some other known variety and yet be
Worthy of introduction. An interesting case in point
may be cited. The Pierson form called "Dwarf Bos-
ton" was developed at Tarrytown on these very points,
but because it did not seem to offer very distinctive
foliage differences, it was developed merely as a local
type. Later other growers became aware of its cul-
tural virtues till now, as judged by my visits to grow-
ers in Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania,
during the past Summer, it bids fair to become the
most commonly cultivated dwarf plain type.

The all 'round champion Boston Fern is undoubted-

or florists interested in making a real systematic in-
vestigation.

For the commercial grower, participation in the ex-
periment offers several advantages which may be
itemized as follows :

1. The varieties on which cultural information is
particularly desired all produce salable plants; i.e.,
the space assigned will not be wasted.

2. It offers an opportunity to become thoroughly
acquainted with a wide range of varieties, authen-
tically named. The knowledge thus derived will fur-
nish a real basis for selecting those forms best suited
for the individual grower's needs.

3. This knowledge will furnish further the basis
for judging the possible value of new forms, either
developed by the grower individually or offered for
his appraisal. In this connection duplication of forms
will also be partly prevented. There is a case in this
series of forms where what appears to be the same
form has received three distinct names.

4. Such a collection of distinct named varieties fur-
nishes admirable exhibition and advertising material.

Some florists may very naturally object that their
space is entirely occupied ; that the 20 odd forms in-
clude some distinctly inferior to the types most com-
monly grown, and that the time required for making
observations and studying the problem can be more
profitably used, but I do not think these objections
really counterbalance the positive benefits above
noted.

that a lady was walking in her garden at Lake Forest the other
day and suddenly one of the Pansy beds was seen to sail through

the gardener politely, "unless light wines and beer is back."

tastes. Consequently, exhibiting is an uncertain propo-
sition and old hands take the ups and downs with easy
grace.

And there are some old hands patronizing the Tarrytown
show, and who are intimately mixed up with the doings
of the society. A glance through the list of active members
and the committees, to say nothing of the long list of
patrons and honorary members, clearly explains why the
Tarrytown Horticultural Society is able to stage, year
after year, such excellent shows.

True, the show under notice was not quite as strong as
usual; the season has not been wholly suitable for all
classes of stock, but for all that, Secretary E. W. Neu-
brand had reason to be satisfied. Louis A. Martin, as
usual, served as manager and it goes without saying that
years of experience enables these two officials to carry
out their program without a hitch. Everything has its
place and right on the heels of the judges, comes the man
with the prize slips so that no one is ever in doubt as to
the judges' decision. On this occasion the judges were
Alex. McKenzie, White Plains, N. Y.; R. Tyson, Convent,
N. J.; Thos. Loden, Port Washington, N. Y., serving the
first day, and James Stuart, Marmaroneck, N. Y. ; Thomas
Aitchison, Marmaroneck, N. Y., and Duncan Mclntyre,
New Rochelle, N. Y., who served on the second day.

The Show Itself

The show, as formerly, was held in the Music Hall,
which, although rather undersized for the amount of
produce staged, is nevertheless well suited to the purpose.
The excellent use made of the stage was one of the splen-
did features of the show; from the balcony, it looked like
a most elaborate setting of stage scenery. A superb
group of large Crotons, Clerodendron fallax, ferns, and
Chrysanthemums filled the back of the stage; this group
was staged by Wm. B. Thompson, Yonkers, N. Y., gdr.
A. Strachan, and it won the silver cup and prize donated
by Mr. F. E. Lewis. On the stage, too, were the large

St. Louis and the Chrysanthemum in the Limelight

Nature's Bounty, Trade Cooperation, Efforts of the C. S. A., and Wide Public Interests Combine

to Bring About a Splendid Instructive, Helpful and Fully Appreciated Flower

Show — Chrysanthemum Society Holds Annual Meeting

Special Telegraphic Despatch to "The Exchajige"

St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 7, the 1922 St. Louis Fall Flower
Show, with which was combined the Annual Exhibition
of the Chrysanthemum Society of America, opened here
today most auspiciously to the accompaniment of clear,
sunUt skies, good attendance, magnificent displays, close
competition among prominent growers and every factor
that could contribute to a thoroughly successful week.

The Coliseum was most effectively decorated with Au-
tumn foliage, Southern grey moss, large evergreens and
deciduous trees in the full glory of their Fall costumes.
Twenty-two vases filled with decorative plants on pedes-
tals 10ft. high created a striking feature. Another re-
markable piece of handiwork was a replica of the Wash-
ington Monument, 35ft. high, made entirely of Apples
of which 23 barrels or about 5000 fruits were used.

The center space in the vast hall was filled with com-
petitive displays of cut flowers and plants. Splendid co-
operation on the part of the retailers made possible 25
stunning retail exhibits that lined the inner walls of the
exhibition space. Altogether growers, wholesalers, the
municipal park system and the Shaw Botanical Garden
all contributed freely and effectively to the exhibition.

The trade exhibit space was well taken, greenhouse
construction companies, seedsmen, nurserymen, florist
supply firms, and dealers in ribbons, chiffons, plants, boxes,
insecticides, etc., all were represented.

According to latest available returns special prizes
offered by the C. S. A. have been won as follows:

Chrysanthemum Society of America

The annual meeting and exhibition was held in
conjunction with the St. Louis Flower Show.
We are able to present in this issue the presi-
dent's address and the secretary's report.

Address of President Earl H. Mann

Before the Annual Meeting of the Chrysanthemum
Society of America, St. Louis, Mo.

I FELT deeply the honor of being elected president
of this society ; and throughout the year have
constantly and earnestly desired its best interest.
I have hoped that by combining the knowledge and
the experience of the entire membership we might
find ways and means not only to hold it up to the
fullest height of its past achievement, but to surpass
this point, notwithstanding the fact that during the
recent war period every branch of floriculture under-
went a severe strain, the Chrysanthemum industry
not excepted.

The Supremacy of the Majestic 'Mum

This society's flower is absolutely supreme in its
season; even the acknowledged queen of flowers
grants it the right of way (though not perhaps quite
graciously), till Thanksgiving is past. American
flower buyers are quite as glad to welcome it in Oc-
tober as Rose growers are to see it depart by Dec. 1,
and the American people will not be content to see it
displaced.

No man can grow Chrysanthemums, or handle them
over the counter, without enthusiasm ; the stout stem,
the unlimited variety of color, the wonderful keeping
qualities, and the unusual decorative effects obtain-
able, all make their appeal.

Ever since I became acquainted with flower grow-
ing the 'Mum has been a prime favorite with me. To
see it retain its high rank is my hope; but theu
come the doleful words, "Does it pay? Can it be
made to pay?" Sentiment cannot hold it in place, but
hard-headed commercial growers must think it out.
Careful selection of varieties, every possible economy
in culture and handling, skill that will practically
eliminate culls, work along a studied plan from be-
ginning to end— these surely can put it on a profit-
able basis.

Give New Varieties a Chance

One of the dangers to the trade, seemingly, is the
tendency to cut down too soon the present lines of
popular flowers that are threatened with low profit,
without first making a desperate effort to put them
on a profit bearing basis. It is too easy to say, "Let
George grow them," when problems like this come up.

New varieties are a great incentive to this effort;
have you seen Majestic, and Cop'l Piper and Golden
Glory? Have you got acquainted with Angelo and
Muskoka and Adelphia, the new type of Smith's? And
Prof. Dorner's fine seedlings raised at Champaign?
And Pierson's bronze Pompons? And the outstanding
seedlings raised by the Department of Horticulture in
Washington? These are what keep up the interesr.
All honor to Totty and Smith, Pierson and Dorner,
Baur & Steinkamp, and our own Secretary Johnson,
as well as to E. G. Hill, who is as enthusiastic today
as ever in the production of new varieties.

Aids to Chrysanthemum Development

The Federal Board's prohibition has really stimu-
lated our present day 'Mum growers in their work
of cross-fertilizing, and with good result.

Another attractive and rather recent development
is found in the class of Pompons which have lent
themselves to disbudding with results that have been
both pleasing and popular. Their novel beauty must
be seen to be appreciated ; they are in heavy demand
when well done.

The thanks of all 'Mum growers are due the Fed-
eral and State Experiment Stations for their pain-
staking study of plant diseases and harmful insects,
and for the information and methods of control 30
freely given to the florist. They have saved time and
serious loss in hundreds of cases and we all appre-
ciate fully their efforts in our behalf. Most of their
findings have been published in our society reports,
and it is recommended that the practice be continued,
so that they may be within ready reach of every
grower.

Middle-West Markets and Western Stock

A great deal has been said regarding California
'Mums and their effect on the Central West markets,
however, I think the majority of Chrysanthemum
growers will quite agree with me that their presence
has, in no wise, been a menace to the market. Prices
have been higher this season than in any previous
year, and good, fresh home-grown stock has been in
demand, although at times the market has been
glutted with Western grown stock. So let us not
worry about the invasion of our markets by the West-

ern "stbek.-but endeavor to raise bur standard of
quality to a point where the market will seek the
home-grown flowers.

State Vice-Presidents Recommended

We are none of us satisfied with the increase in
C. S. A. membership, and it is recommended that ac-
tive measures be taken to interest every grower pos-
sible. Every one of them is benefited, directly or in-
directly, by the work of this society, and in return
should be identified with it ; the dues are so moderate
as to be no hindrance. Let me recommend the ap-
pointment of State vice-presidents, whose duty it
shall be to stimulate new interest and especially to
increase the membership to at least double its present
size by November 1923. Let us urge our State vice-
presidents to do their utmost to this end, and let
each of us volunteer our assistance. This work must
be done by all of us pulling together, not by a few.

We cannot find words to express our appreciation
of the work of the local committee in setting up such
a wonderful show so very complete in every detail;
we realize the hard work done, and thank them sin-
cerely. We greatly enjoy the very cordial welcome
extended to us.

1922 Report of Secretary Charles W. Johnson

To the Chrysanthemum Society of America,
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 7

The twentieth annual meeting of the society was
held at the Auditorium Hotel, Chicago, Nov. 16, 1921.
in conjunction with the Fall Flower Show of the
Chicago Florists. The meeting and exhibition was
one of the best of recent years, the exhibits of cut
blooms being of the highest standard with a fine lot
of- entries in every class. The local committees were
on hand at all times to assist the exhibitors in the
arrangement of their exhibits as well as to make their
visit most pleasant and profitable.

The number of new Chrysanthemums submitted to
the Examining Committees to be scored for the so-
ciety's certificate of merit was an increase over the
previous year as the review of the committees' work
printed in the annual report will show.

Baur & Steinkamp, Indianapolis, Ind., registered
the following varieties of Pompons: Lucia, Snow
Crest, Lucretia, Autumn Glints, Pink Daisy, Luella
and Crystal White — the fee of $5 being paid for each
variety. This is very commendable on the part of
Messrs. Baur & Steinkamp and it would be a great
help to the society if the example was followed by
other raisers of new varieties.

The invitation of the St. Louis Florists to hold the
1922 meeting in St. Louis in connection with a Fall
show being accepted, your secretary accordingly made
a solicitation of special premiums and thanks those
who contributed to same.

The arrangement for this annual meeting and ex-
hibition has been left chiefly in the hands of our
vice-president, W. A. Rowe, who has worked hard to
make every preparation for a successful meeting and
exhibition.

The combined proceedings of the nineteenth and
twentieth annual meetings have been gotten out by
the secretary and mailed to every member of the
society.

The reports of the several committees were sent
to the trade papers by the secretary, together with
other notices of the socity, and, as heretofore, the
papers have very generously published all notices
sent them, for which we are greatly indebted and
owe to them our vote of thanks.

Your secretary again wishes to acknowledge the
kindness of Elmer D. Smith in furnishing him with
a complete list of varieties disseminated in 1921,
which appears in the annual report.

Pasadena Horticultural Association

The Fall Flower Show of the Pasadena Horticul-
tural Association was held in the Hotel Raymond,
Oct. 26 to 2S. The first rain of the season came this
way the 27th, thereby dampening the enthusiasm of
the people in this part of the State, where rainfall is
thought of in terms of inches, and resulting in a very
slim atendance. In the north, where rainfall is
thought of in terms of feet, the inhabitants go out-
doors no matter how hard it rains. Here, the slightest-
shower is enough to make both native and exotic
residents remain indoors. The last day of the show,
a football game took the attention of the public and,
of course, few people came to the flower show.

Despite the lack of visitors the exhibits were very
fine. Of the commercial men who made displays,
Walter Armacost easily led in greenhouse grown
Roses and in potted foliage and flowering plants.
Howard & Smith had a great display of Celosia, Gail-
lardia, 'Mums, Dahlias and Belladonna Delphiniums,
all from the open.

Bulbs Still Active

Dutch bulbs are still going out freely
to every class of buyer; florists, private
estates and amateurs. Favorable weather
conditions, which continue to prevail, are
helping the sales of these bulbs greatly.
The outlook is not for large surpluses on
hand at the end of the selling season. Jap-
anese Lilium giganteum bulbs which are
coming in in a steady stream overland
from the Pacific Coast are going out
about as fast as they arrive in this city,
though high prices from necessity pre-
vail. The present outlook is that there
will not be, when Autumn orders have
been filled, as large numbers as in many
previous years, to go into cold storage.
Lily of the Valley pips are expected by
the middle of this month, and Gladioli
which, according to reports have now all
been lifted will, before long, be cured suf-
ficiently so that shipments will begin to
appear in this city. In fact, shipments
of bulbs dug and cured early will soon be
on sale. Southern grown Amaryllis bulbs
are expected to be in the market soon,
and also clumps of American grown
Spiraea.

Roman J. Irwin and Charles Scott of
New York City, Wallace R. Pierson of
Cromwell, Conn., and Ernest Gude of
Washington, D. C., returned on Saturday,
Oct. 28, from a two weeks' sojourn in
New Brunswick, Canada, where the party
spent most of its time in hunting big
game. The results of the chase were three
moose and eight deer and plenty of par-
is a good clean up on Tulips, owing to an
that game was plentiful and that they all
had an enjoyable time.

Roman J. Irwin, 43 West 18th St., is
busy now shipping out Lilium giganteum
and Dutch bulbs. He reports that there
is a fairly good demand for greenhouse
flowering Sweet Pea seeds. His first Lily
of the Valley is expected about the end
of this month from E. Neubert, the agen-
cy for whose Valley Mr. Irwin has for
this city. Mr. Neubert advises Mr. Irwin
that high grade Valley pips are in short
crop.

The MacNiff Horticultural Co., 196
Greenwich st., reports an extremely large
counter trade in bulbs of all kinds and
varieties and in all other seasonable goods.
These trade and shipping orders keep the
whole store force extremely busy all the
time. The Auction Department of this
company is holding its regular sales, the
chief feature in the offerings being
Dutch bulbs.

S. S. Skidelsky, 53 Park place, reports
that bulbs of all kinds are cleaning up
well. They have shipped all their earlier
orders for Lilium giganteum, and have
practically filled in full all orders for
the large size bulbs for this Lily, as they
did last year. This firm thinks from the
present outlook, that there will be but a
small surplus of Lilium giganteum bulbs
to go into cold storage.

Vaughan's Seed Store, 41 to 43 Barclay
st., has a large shipment of hybrid Am-
aryllis now on the way from the South,
due to arrive in a few days. They have
about completed their Gladioli harvest
on their Michigan farms where 165 acres
are devoted to the growing of this crop.
Their travelers, they report, are send-
ing in large orders for. these Gladioli
bulbs, and many orders are already booked
for early shipment. The continued warm
spell keeps up the demand for Dutch
bulbs. This large demand, they report,
compels the store force to work every
day in the week, and also necessitates the
employing of a night force. As the Christ-
mas holidays gradually draw nearer, their
travelers are booking larger and larger
orders for Christmas goods, such as Holly
and other greens.

Stumpp & Walter Co., 30 to 32 Barclay
St., report that in all their departments,

seasonable goods are moving well. The
demand is especially heavy for Dutch
bulbs and they find that their sale of
bowls, in which to grow French and
Dutch bulbs, is steadily increasing. The
demand for sprayers for orchard use has
begun to make itself felt, and no doubt
will steadily grow larger, as soon as the
orchard trees go into an entirely dor-
mant condition.

So swiftly runs the tide of human
events that already the Oct. 30 bulb con-
ference is a thing of the past and not
often a subject of discussion among local
bulb dealers. Nevertheless there is a
keen, if repressed, desire to learn the
results of the deliberations of the F. H.
B. and to find out whether the rather fa-
vorable impression of the conference felt
by the trade is going to prove to have
been justified.

Chicago Seed Trade

The seed stores report a good demand
for all seasonable stock. The call for
bulbs continues strong, and while there
is a good cleanup on Tulips, owing to an
abnormal demand, there is but a nominal
supply of Darwins still obtainable. Many
of these latter are desirable for forcing.
All of them, however, are suitable for
outdoor planting, and will come into
bloom at a time when there is a good
demand for that class of stock.

R. B. Howe of the W. W. Barnard Co.
reports good business in all lines of Fall
planting stock. There is a noticeable
increase in the counter trade since the
opening of the Madison st. bridge, over
which thousands of commuters pass daily
to the railway stations. These people are
attracted by the show windows, which
invariably increase trade.

A. Miller of the American Bulb Co.
attended the Milwaukee flower show the
past week. He also expects to be in St.
Louis the coming week to attend the vari-
ous important meetings to be held there
in connection with the Chrysanthemum
show.

A. Henderson of Henderson's Seed
Store, James Burdett of Vaughan's Seed
Store and Aug. Bontoux, president of the
International Forwarding Co., who handle
a large amount of the bulb stock that
comes into this country, were the Chicago
representatives at the bulb conference at
Washington, D. C, Oct. 30.

J. C. Vaughan struck a good note when
he said it was his belief that the future
of the florist business depended on grow-
ers making an effort to produce not only
a better quality of stock, but likewise to
get away from the beaten path and pro-
duce worth while novelties. He cited an
instance of a recent visit paid his office
by a well-known Northwest florist, who
stated he was in quest of something dif-
ferent in pot plants and was not particu-
lar as to price.

Cincinnati Seed Trade

Dealers in the seed and bulb trade re-
port a continuance of the good trade
they have enjoyed since the opening of
the Fall season. The out-of-town and gar-
den club demand for Holland bulbs shows
little sign of diminution and in some
quarters is on the increase, according to
dealers.

Florists who themselves obtained Lily
bulbs from Bermuda and Japan, have had
to replenish their supplies because of
the unsatisfactory results. A little furth-
er investigation into the cause of the
unsatisfactory condition of the Bermuda
and Japanes bulbs, is said to have dis-
closed that the bulb shippers were trying
to beat the oppressive tariff by getting
their stock through eastern ports before
the Fordney bill became effective. They
were successful in beating the tariff, but
failed to take into consideration the fact
that the bulbs had insufficient time to
dry out to stand packing and shipment.

All these varieties are the Winter-
Flowering Spencer types and can be grown
indoors or outdoors the year around.
They will produce more and better flowers
outdoors than the old late Spencers, be-
cause they bloom 3 to 4 weeks earlier,
before the hot weather sets in. Plant
after the Chrysanthemum and get a full
crop for Easter. Plant in cool frames or
outdoors just before the freezing begins
and get a full crop in May for Decoration
Day. Plant out of doors in the Spring
and they will bloom early in June.

Gladiolus Novelties

"tv M£f % a11 °f °.UI' Rwn raising, including our new Gladiolus Maiden's Blush, of which
ine florists Review writes as follows:

_ "Gladiolus Maiden's Blush originates with J. J. Grullemans & Sons of Lisse, Holland,
being one of a number of Pnmulinus hybrids of pronounced early flowering habit; among these
is Maiden s Blush. The color of this beautiful variety is of a most attractive shade of light
pink, and some good judges think Maiden's Blush will become one of the most widely grown
and popular varieties when it is well known.

"It is said that this variety will force in the greenhouse in seven weeks."

In a former number of "The Florists Review" said: "Maiden's Blush has taken better
on the Chicago market than any other Gladiolus ever did."

Cincinnati Seed Trade

(Continued from page 1251)

Seed trade continued good last week
and this. The special demand was for
field seeds for cover and other Winter
crops. Large acreages will be sown in
Vetches and Rye and a considerable
acreage of Timothy has been sown. Or-
ders for these staples are large and seeds-
men have had difficulty keeping their
stocks up to the demand. E. L. H.

Catalogs Received

Whitney Nurseries, Seattle, Wash. — Smal

an ordinary envelope. Appeals specially to Seattle
home lovers to plant Rose bushes grown near at
hand.

Allesandra Squadrilla, Naples, Italy — Whole-
sale seed catalog. Features various novelties,
including double purple Helianthus and several
forms of Bellis perennis. Many other new or
little known subjects are listed, including the
Arabian melon which can be cooked like a squash
when young or eaten as a fruit when fully ripe.

Peter Hopman & Sons, Hillegom, Holland — ■
Gladioli are a specialty with this firm and they
are responsible for some of the finest commercial
varieties of today. They possess large stocks,
but as is pointed out in a covering letter, no bulbs
can be shipped into U. S. without a permit. Messrs.
Hopman naively explain that they do not know
which varieties may be imported, but their experi-
ence is that if one person is granted a permit for a
certain variety, others likewise are permitted to
import the same variety. Some excellent half-
tone cuts on art paper accompany this list.

Perry's Hardy Plant Farm, Enfield, Midsex ■
England — One of the most extensive lists of hardy
plants and bulbs to be found. This well-known
firm is specially noted for novelties and rarities
which in the present list are numbered by the score.
Irises are a great specialty and one could readily
spend a small fortune with Amos Perry on these
alone, without touching any of the standard sorts
which sell at less than S2 a dozen. Many bulbous
and tuberous Irises not common here are also listed.
Perennial Asters, including Perry's White, the best
yet, and Miss Eisele, named after one of J. D.
Eisele's daughters, a marvelously fine blue, are
noted in great variety. Peonies. Phlox, Delphini-
ums, Tritomas, Pyrethrums, Pinks, etc., are listed
under name in large numbers, while general her-
baceous stock and rock plants are offered in vast
variety. Innumerable hardy Lilies, Eremurus,
Nerines, and scores of other bulbous plants are
also given prominence. In practically all instances,
good descriptions are provided

the Market. A new Clarkia, a miniature flowered
strain of single Chrysanthemums which flower from
seed the first year; a new starfish single Dahlia
with curled petals that show a reverse of a different
color to the surface, and several new Sweet Peas
are among the subjects offered. Specially notable,
too, are the Elliott strain of sweet-scented Lupins
in all colors and the Downer strain. This latter
has been saved from the named varieties which,
the past season, have caused much talk at the
British exhibitions.

Seed Grower and Horse Breeder

E. W. King of E. W. King & Co. and
managing director of J. K. King & Sons
of Kelvedon, Essex, England, is best
known as one of the largest wholesale
growers in Great Britain. Sweet Peas
are one of his specialties and on their
behalf he has traveled exclusively, visit-
ing California some years ago. We learn
from the Horticultural Trade Journal that
Mr. King not only believes in pedigree
seeds, but pedigree stock. Five years ago,
he paid $30,000 for Therle King Cole,
one of the best bred shire horses in Eng-
land; the various farms under his con-
trol are now being supplied with horses
from this famous sue.

Week at the Capital

By CLARENCE L. LINZ

Increased Express Rates Wanted

Increases in express rates, rather than
a reduction, are necessary at this time,
according to officials of the express com-
panies. Hearings on the shippers' appli-
cation for a reduction in express rates
will begin before an examiner of the In-
terstate Commerce Commission on Nov.
20. Bitter opposition will be offered by
the express companies to any efforts to re-
duce the rates.

The express companies of the country
today are not paying their way, it is de-
clared. The first step in the counter-at-
tack of the express companies upon the
application for a reduction in rates was
recently taken when the American Rail-
way Express Co. filed a petition with the
Interstate Commerce Commission asking
for authority to increase the rates, on the
ground that the company and the rail-
road companies carrying its matter, find
it necessary that an increase should be
made in the rates in order that the ex-
press business may pay operating ex-
penses, taxes attributable to it, and a fair
return on the property devoted to the
business.

The American Railway Express Co. was
organized in June 1918, under the laws
of Delaware, being a combination of the
American, Adams, Southern and Wells-
Fargo Express Companies. During the
existence of the Director General of Rail-
roads, the business was conducted under
his direction and was without profit and,
in addition, it piled up a loss amounting
to more than $70,000,000 to the Govern-
ment during that period. The complaint
sets forth that the total gross revenue of
the American Railway Express Co. during
11)21, for the calendar year, was $293,-
976,591, and the combined expenses of
the railroads and the express company
incurred in the conduct of the express
business totaled approximately $388,147,-
7S2, leaving a deficit of $39,171,191, ex-
clusive of any return on the investment to
the express or the railroad companies.

According to the best estimates that
have been made on the subject, the most
that the company can expect to make for
the present calendar year will be $290,-
000,000 and, with expenses of approxi-
mately $303,000,000; this will mean a
deficit, exclusive of return on its invest-
ment, of $13,000,000. In support of the
request, the complaint states that the
railroads and the express company have
conducted the business — both railroad and
and express company ends of it-^on the
most economical basis consistent with good
service, and while the cost of operations
has been declining, due to the gradual re-
turn to normal conditions of operating
expenses, the express company believes
that the deficit will continue in prac-
tically the same ratio for next year and
for ensuing years thereafter, unless an
increase is granted. It is also urged that
changes could be made in the express
classification and ratings of articles,
which changes will be outlined in detail
at the hearing.

The petition for a hearing on the ex-
press rate question was filed with the
Interstate Commerce Commission by a
number of large shippers, who asserted
that there was discrimination between ex-
press rates and freight rates, the latter
having been reduced by approximately
ten per cent last July while the former
are still at their war and post-war peak.
The contention of the express company
that the business is not profitable is the
same as was offered by the railroad com-
panies during the freight hearings last
Winter. It was felt by the commission,
however, that the business of the coun-
try necessitated lower freight rates, and
they were accordingly ordered. Whether
a similar opinion will prevail in the mat-
ter of express rates is a question. In
view of the tremendous deficit which the
company asserts it has incurred since
the war it is very likely that the com-
mission will take the view that the pres-
ent rates should prevail for some time
longer in order that the carriers may have
an opportunity to recoup their losses.

Freight Loading Increase

For the first time in more than two
years, loadings of revenue freight, totaled
more than a million cars a week when,

during the week ended Oct. 21, 1,003,759
cars were loaded, indicating a rapid re-
turn to normal conditions. This better-
ment of trade conditions seems to have
occurred principally in the East, as a car
shortage in the West is seriously ham-
pering freight movements in that section
of the country.

A new high record in the number of
cars loaded with merchandise and miscel-
laneous freight, which includes manu-
factured products, was also made during
the week, the total being 596,392 cars.
This was an increase of 7294 cars over
the total for the week of Sept. 30, last,
when the largest number of cars were
loaded with this class of freight in the
history of the railroads. Establishment
of this record is all the more significant
as the loading of merchandise and mis-
cellaneous freight is one of the best in-
dexes to business conditions that can be
found.

Unemployment Decreasing

Greatly increased employment in every
section of the United States is shown by
the report of the Director General of
the United States Employment Service,
just made public. The survey of 1,428
of the largest firms in the country, lo-
cated in 65 principal industrial centers,
shows that on Oct. 31 they employed more
than 52,000 more persons than were at
work on Sept. 30. A survey of the 65
leading cities themselves shows that in
56 of them employment increased during
the month and in only eight was a reduc-
tion in employment noticed. The eight
cities in question, it is pointed out, have
been affected by strike troubles and car
shortage. In the case of these eight
cities, however, the amount of unemploy-
ment is by no means as great as it was
a few months ago.

Practically every industry shows in-
creased activity. This is especially true
in the so-called luxury trades, which are
preparing for the Christmas rush. In 12
of the 14 "key" industries, employment
is increasing steadily. The two indus-
tries in which employment has fallen off
are tobacco and beverages. The report
points out that the "outlook for the com-
ing Winter season is brighter than it has
been for two years.

Court Rules Against Minimum Wage
Law

After having upheld the District of
Columbia minimum wage law a year ago
the District Court of Appeals this week
declared the measure unconstitutional.
The court, in its latest decision, points
out that the Act was passed neither _ to
meet a temporary emergency nor to tide
over a passing trouble, reasons that have
caused it to uphold so-called war legis-
lation. The law provides a scale of mini-
mum wages for women and minors in
the District of Columbia.

It is held by the court that if Congress
may establish a minimum wage for women
it may also establish a maximum wage on
it may name a fixed wage. If it may fix
the wages of women it may, by the exer-
cise of "the same power, fix the wages to
be paid men. The law is of benefit neith-
er to the employers nor to the employees
for whom it was enacted, since, unless
the employers desire to pay the minimum
wage they may employ men and the
women are thereby deprived of the abil-
ity to earn a living.

The minimum wage for women in the
florist establishments of the District of
Columbia, as fixed by the District Wage
Board under the Act, now declared un-
constitutional, is $16.50 per week.

Gude Bros, and Rotary Club

Gude Bros. Co. will tender a luncheon
on Nov. 15, at their greenhouses, to the
165 or more members of the Washington
Rotary Club. The regular meeting of
the club will be held at that time, with
the ladies present. Following the lunch-
eon, a tour of the greenhouses will be
made. The firm has also sent invitations
to attend this affair to all florists who
are Rotarians and who are located within
several hundred miles of Washington. The
text of this invitation is as follows:

"The members of the Rotary Club of
Washington and their ladies will be the
guests of Gude Bros. Co. at a luncheon-
meeting at the greenhouses in northeast
Washington on Wednesday, Nov. 15.
The guests will assemble in the pot-

ting room at the plant at 12 o'clock,
luncheon to be served soon thereafter.
On the completion of the luncheon a
tour of the greenhouses will be made.

"It would give me great pleasure to
have you join us on this occasion.
Won't you try and arrange a visit to
Washington and let us give you a real
Hotarian welcome?"

The letters are signed "Rotarian Bill
Gude," and that individual has asked
The Florists Exchange to announce
that all Rotarian florists are invited to
attend, whetter receiving a formal invi-
tation or not.

Fall Show at University of Maryland

The, members of the Washington
and the Baltimore. Florists Clubs are an-
ticipating an entertaining joint session at
the University of Maryland. The Univer-
sity is staging its Autumn flower show
and the commercial florists have been
asked to make exhibits on the occasion of
of the meeting. The purpose of the show,
it is announced, is to demonstrate methods
for utilizing Autumn flowers and foliage
in decoration and the central feature will
be a miniature Japanese garden. The
exhibits have been arranged by A. S.
Thurston, professor of horticulture. The
members of the two clubs will dine at the
University before visiting the show.

From Switchboard to Matrimony

The resignation of Miss Nina Penn,
popular young switchboard operator at
the F st. store of Gude Bros. Co., is an-
nounced and at the same time it has be-
come known that she is now Mrs. Howard
Mayhew. The announcement was given
emphasis when the young lady and her
husband were showered with congratula-
tioins at a reception tendered her by Miss
Amelia Gude. The reception was held
at the Home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. F.
Gude, 3800 New Hampshire ave., and was
attended by all of the employees of the
store. Everyone with whom Mrs. May-
hew was associated came to wish
her well. The guests exceeded 30, among
those present being Mr. and Mrs. Howard
Mayhew, Mr. and Mrs. William F. Gude,
the Misses Amelia, Louise and Wilhelmina
Gude; Mr. and Mrs. Hardy Prichard and
their little daughter, Catherine, and Mrs.
Pritchard, Sr.; Charles Pritchard, Mr.
and Mrs. Donald Niblack, Miss Charlotte
Haas, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hawley, Mr.
and Mrs. William Moore, Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Kennelly, John Cook, Mr. and Mrs.
Jessie Randolph, Tom White, Marshall
Davis, Manuel Pallacios, Wm. H. Ham-
macher and others. Little Miss Wilhel-
mina Gude gave several negro dialect reci-
tations and a one-act playlet entitled "Gos-
sip in Darktown." Games were played and
during a lull in the fun, William F. Gude
presented the bride with a number of
gifts on behalf of the store force. A buf-
! fet supper was served. The wedding cake
! stood in the center of the table and a
noticeable feature was the removal of
small pieces by the unmarried ladies, car-
rying out some sort of a superstition best
known to themselves.

J. 0. Young of Atlanta, Ga.; John A.
Evans of Richmond, Ind., and J. T. Rem-
ley of New Orleans, La., were among the
visitors seen in Washington during the
last week or ten days. There were a large
number of out-of-town florists here at the
time, many attending the bulb conference
at the Department of Agriculture, others
passing through on their way to other
cities.

Department 'Mum Show Big Success

Washington hospitals this week are
brighter than they have been for many
months, for more than 2000 of the Chrys-
anthemums exhibited at the twenty-first
annual Chrysanthemum show of the De-
partment of Agriculture last week have
been distributed among their inmates
and to other "shut-ins" about the city.
The distribution was made by direction
of the Secretary of Agriculture and Mrs.
Wallace, through the Junior League.

The records of the Department show
that during the eight days of the show
there were 51,720 visitors, as compared
with 59.1S2 visitors during the ten days
of last year's show. Comments of many
of the visitors on the plants carrying
title cards of Mrs. Warren G. Harding,
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, Gen. Pershing,
Mrs. Charles Curtis, and other well-
known persons, indicated that the ob-
servers believed' the plants had been
grown by those whose names they bore

Washington, D. C. — Continued from

page 1254
and loaned to the Department for exhibi-
tion, caused considerable amusement
among employees in charge.

A follow-up show is being held this
week in the patio of the Pan-American
Building, where scores of the most at-
tractive of the Pompons loaned from the
Department's exhibit to the Pan-Ameri-
can Union are on view. This step was
taken in order that the thousands of per-
sons who it is believed were interested
in the show, but were unable to attend
last week will be given an opportunity
to see some of the best specimens.

On the closing day, Nov. 5, seedling
Pompons were named for the oldest
woman and the youngest child selected
as godmothers. The "Clara Rebecca," an
attractive yellow seedling, which at-
tracted much comment from commercial
florists, was christened for the old lady.
The "Barbara M. Vogel," a dainty-
shaped yellow bloom with a brick-red
tinting, was named for a six-months old
girl.

The first official recognition of Arm-
istice Day will be given on Saturday,
Nov. 11, when President Harding, es-
corted by a troop of cavalry, visits the
National Cemetery at Aldington, Va., for
the purpose of placing a wreath on the
grave of the unknown American soldier.

Although Nov. 11 is a holiday in some
sections of the country, Congress has
never taken the action necessary to make
it nationally observed, but it is possible,
as a result of the President's action, that
some meature to that end will be intro-
duced in Congress, possibly during the
short session which the President has
called to convene on Nov. 20.

Oarsman Glide to Have His Chance

The New York World (and presumably
other papers) of Nov. 3 carried a six-inch
explanation from Walter Hoover, cham-
pion sculler, of his failure to row a match
race with Granville Gude at New Orleans
last month. He says further: "I am now
trying to arrange a race with Granville
Gude, Washington, D. C, to take place in
Duluth under the auspices of the David
Wisted Post of the American Legion, of
which I am a member."

Watch Out !

Frank Berns, 5221 Third ave., Brook-
lyn, N. Y. writes: "There was a man
around last week who said I could get
The Exchange free this year if I would
pay him §1 in cash for the stamps re-
quired for mailing the paper. He looked
like a fake to me. I found out that he
was such, as the next day I received
your regular renewal notice, cheque for

This is the letter which followed:

The E. F. Winterson Co.

166 North Wabash Ave.

Chicago, Oct. 31, 1922.
To the Publishers of

Fritz Bahr's Commercial Floricul-
ture:
I have been reading and studying that
grand new manual by our old friend,
Fritz Bahr, and published by you. The
result of my investigation of the value
of this book is that I find that we just
got to have twenty-five (25) copies, so
send them along as soon as possible.

I think the book is without a peer and
just what we need to consult every day;
it comes in mighty handy for me, and I
am sure that each copy circulated will
make ten (10) new modern florists and
gardeners.

Respectfully yours,
(Signed) Ed. Winterson, Sr.

From ALFRED CARL HOTTES

Department of Horticulture, Ohio State University
Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 1, 1922.

My dear Mr. De La Mare: I wish to take this
occasion to write that Fritz Bahr's Commercial
Floriculture is as inspiring as a talk with an old
friend. It surely touches upon a thousand thoughts
about the business. I know dozens of young florists
to whom I would like to send a copy, ft surely
would be like a tonic for them. It points out the
ways to avoid mistakes as well as the right way to
do the necessary work of the florist business. To
my students who will start with little or no capital,
it is worth a hundred dollars a copy. The name
Fritz Bahr inspires all florists to want it.

Please hurry ten copies more of Fritz Bahr's
Commercial Floriculture.

Alfred C Hottes.

Fifteen copies in all have been purchased by Mr.
Hotte's class.

New Orleans, La.

All Saints Day

Nov. 4. — All Saints Day has come
and gone and with it have passed on
many thousands of Chrysanthemums to
the numerous graves enclosed within the
walls of the New Orleans cemeteries.
The local florists have seen their bank
accounts blossom and increase in size to
the • amount of some $50,000, and they
are all well pleased with their two or
three days work which netted them that
amount ; it is estimated that the people
-of this section spend that much or even
more every year at this time. It was
day and night business from Saturday
to Wednesday and although there was
probably not a retail florist in town who
did not see the ghosts and goblins frolic
at midnight on Hallowe'en there
"were few if any who did not watch them
from their own little shop window. The
trains were kept busy bringing in Chrys-
anthemums from the West Coast and the
mails were overloaded carrying special
orders to all of the nearby towns and
villages.

The work of cutting the local Chrysan-
themum crop began last Sunday, and
Monday and Tuesday were busy days to
the owners of the many nurseries. The
greenhouses presented a sight worth see-
ing several days before the cutting and
people from all over the city crowded
the grounds looking at them. Additional
workers were needed by the growers to
help cut the crop at the right time, for
after cutting, the stock had to be sorted
and graded. These blooms were sold from
$2 to $12. the -$10 and $12 varieties be-
ing nearly as large as the imported ones.
Mrs. H. Robinson is a variety found to
thrive most hardily in this section, and
it was this bloom which is most gener-
ally grown.

There are few persons in New Orleans
whether Catholic or Protestant, who fail
to remember their dead on this day. and
all of the large civic organizations make
appropriate offerings at this time. The
cemeteries on All Saints Day are the
most impressive sights one could possibly
imagine with their thousands upon thou-
sands of Chrysanthemums and Roses in
baskets, wreaths and vases. Practically
every grave has had its coat of fresh
whitewash and the grass clipped and
mowed. Other cities perhaps present an
attractive appearance in their cemeteries
on this dav, but one has really to visit
New Orleans to see the day at its best.
All Saints Day and the Mardi Gras Car-
nival are two occasions, widely different
in purport, which belong to New Orleans
alone.

The business, for some reason or other,
failed to measure up entirely to that se-
cured a year ago. Department store
and street competition was perhaps one
reason for the falling off in sales over
the previous- period. Large sales on
Chrysanthemums were advertised in the
newspapers by the department stores sev-
eral days previous to All Saints Day,
and the blooms were lower in price than
the florist could afford to sell them. Sev-
eral aisles in one store were completely
filled with the flowers and large space
devoted in others. These practically sold
out to women shoppers looking for bar-
gains.

The street peddler was also a serious
handicap, even being so bold as to set
his stand nearly in front of the florist
stores. His supply was of course rather
limited in comparison, but he got his
share of the business which would regu-
larly have gone to .the. trade..

Another thorn in the side of the florist
came from a quite- unexpected source,
and this was the antique dealer, who is
found iu large numbers in the old French
quarter. He competed with the florist
in the metallic and artificial design line
and several ran large ads in the paper
featuring them. Fortunately, the ten-
dency this year was rather away from
the artificial decorations, so that harm
from this source was not great.

Grows Chrysanthemums Under Tent

One of the largest growers of
Chrysanthemums for All Saints May.
was James R. Cheatham; he raised
35.000 blooms in a single area under a
huge tent. These blooms were all the
Robinson variety. The space .covered by
this garden is nine and a half city blocks,
under a huge rectangular tent supported
at intervals by stout beams wired against

wind and rain. There were 27 beds,
each 278ft. long, with a walk in between
for convenience in cutting. Ten months
were spent by the owner in the cultiva-
tion and care of the flowers.

Mr. Cheatham is not a florist in the
ordinary sense of the word. By trade
he is an expert mechanician, and Chrys-
anthemum raising is a hobby in which
he finds profit, recreation, health and a
change of occupation. He is the owner
of a garage on Carrollton ave. He be-
gan flower raising on a small scale, the
first year producing only 250 plants. Iu
a few years the plants began to be
counted by the thousands, until last year,
17.000 budded plants were engaged by
the florists. This year the output was
largely depended upon to help supply the
local trade.

Park Association Convention

Permanent organization and the
election of temporary officers of the
Louisiana State Park Association has
been completed ; its convention will be
held in New Orleans on Nov. 11. Dr.
Wm. M. Sheppegrel of New Orleans was
elected temporary president, Mayor An-
drew MeShane, representing Orleans
parish and M. L. Alexander representing
Rapides parish and Wm. T. Peterson,
Baton Rouge were elected temporary
vice-presidents; Harold J. Neale, New
Orleans, secretary, and Col. W. R. Irby,
treasurer.

The association was founded for the
organization of a State park system, the
establishment of tourist camps, the pres-
ervation of historic points and the open-
ing of game preserves to hunters. At the
one day meeting, officers will be perma-
nently elected and steps taken for ob-
taining a charter for the organization.

The Market

In the wholesale market last week
the Rose question was a serious one with
the boys at the receiving end. The ar-
rivals piled up and by Saturday fine, big,
long stemmed stock sold for a mere
song. Pity some of the growers don't
hold off at 'Mum time! With Chrysan-
themums it was a different story. All
good 'Mums were cleaned up at satis-
factory prices.

Carnations are plentiful. Cattleyas are
scarce and so are Gardenias. There i9
plenty of all other kinds of flowers. We
are sending in our first cut flower market
report this week; look it over, don't shoot
the music man, he's doing his best.

News Notes

The Chrysanthemums and Carna-
tions arriving at Sieck & Glick's from
Peter Kohles are worthy of special men-
tion.

We received a very cordial invitation
from Prof. A. S. Thurston, assistant pro-
fessor of horticulture at the University
of Maryland, to attend its dinner and
show Monday evening, Nov. 6. The florists
of Maryland and the District of Columbia
were asked to send exhibits and young
Jim Moss consented to look after the Bal-
timore end. The show was on for three
days.

Jesse P. King of Mt. Airy, Md., is
shipping some extra fine White Turner
'Mums to the S. S. Pennock Co.

Phil Welsh ran ns out to Samuel Feast
& Sons' greenhouses on Friday and while
the interesting features uf this big grow-
ing plant are not lacking at any time of
the year, they were especially so right
now. Great quantities of fancy Chrysan-
themums are grown by the firm and they
are a glorious sight this season. Many
novelties are being tried out and one real
old timer, "Maud Dean" is still being
grown to perfection. The Azaleas would
make one stand up and take notice. From
a big bunch of baby, 21/4in. stuff up to
four years old, they are very striking and
show splendid handling. This is probably
the largest bunch of Azaleas about
town. Giganteum Lilies also claimed our
attention; they are in all stages of growth
as the store must be supplied all the year
around. In the other houses were vast
stocks of Roses, Orchids, Primulas, Poin-
settias, Cyclamen, Stocks, Swainsona,
Smilax and Snapdragon, all demanding a
share of attention, while the outside
frames are filled with French Hydrangeas,
Hardy Roses, Lilacs and bulbs. Willie's
Snapdragon show clean and healthy with
not a sign of rust. "How come?" says

rison considers Duchess of Wellington one
of the finest yellow garden Roses in cul-
tivation today.

Wm. F. Keys, Jr. has completed the
improvements in his store on Harford

terior decorations have added materially
to its appearance and Wm. F. is receiv-
ing a fine cut of Chrysanthemums from

Violet News

A year ago a news item appeared
in The Exchange relative to the short-
age of Violets. This statement could be
reprinted now with just as much truth or
perhaps more for as George C. Lang,
president of the Rhinebeck Violet Grow-
ers Mutual Association, said several days
ago: "I have been growing Violets for a
great many years and I have thought
that there were shortages of Violets, but
never have I seen such a time as at
present."

One grower with four Violet houses is
reported to have said that he might be
able to pick a shoe box full of flowers. An-
other, with two houses, picked over every
plant in order to get 1300 flowers. Firms
doing a shipping trade and whose ranges
are usually sufficient to supply their
wrants are buying flowers from many
smaller growers.

And because it never rains but it
pours, it seems that never before has
there been such a demand for Violets at
this season of the year. Ethan Coon, Ralph
Snyder, Rhinebeck Floral Co., the Rhine-
beck Violet Ass'n and other shippers to
retailers, all report a brisk demand and
some of these firms are reported to be
buying in large quantities for the Yale-
Harvard game.

The result of this combined short-
age and demand is, as might be
expected, a rapid boosting of prices
with the wholesale market soaring
daily. Prices for the big game will be
out of sight and decidedly high for
Thanksgiving. It is the ' opinion of the
writer that this extra demand for the
Yale game is a great evil for the Violet
trade as it causes an abnormal demand
and price just at a holiday season. It
thus creates a false basis for Thanksgiv-
ing prices which florists and customers
all over the country have to pay. It
doesn't seem right to ask a florist in
Ohio to pay 50c. a hundred premium on
Violets for a demand created in one city.
And yet that is what it amounts to. These
continual fluctuations are doing a vast
amount of harm to the industry, but it is
human nature for the growers to get all
they can while the getting is good.

The Violet Growers Mutual is having
a hard time this year in getting its sup-
plies. A full carload of shipping boxes is
held up by embargo at Buffalo and other
supplies are slow in arriving. The asso-
ciation is in better condition this year
than for several years past, having now
nearly fifty members against seventeen last
year.

Among the Growers

To say much about the conditions
of the various Violet growers would re-
quire only the use of ditto marks under a

report like this: "The houses of

were looking well, but only a few flow-
ers and fewer buds were seen. Mr.

says that he doesn't expect to pick many
Violets for the next week or so."

J. H. Snyder is fast completing the
new dwelling house which he is erecting,
largely with his own labor. Mr. Snyder
is some carpenter.

Ethan Coon attended recently the F. T.
D. Convention in Baltimore and the Gen-
eral Synod of the Lutheran Church in
Buffalo. Mr. Coon is Rhinebeck's cham-
pion traveler.

Von der Linden's house of Carnations
looks fine. He is not growing so many
'Mums as last year, devoting the space
to more Sweet Peas for which his tall
houses are admirably adapted.

F. R. Gillman's houses contain the us-
ual assortment and his Peas are blooming
early as usual, Mr. Gillman, being always
a pioneer in progressiveness, has been try-
ing out different heating substitutes. An
electric heater was installed, but it did
not work properly and so he is going to
try several oil burners. Most of the
growers are using either soft or pea coal,
there being but small quantities of egg
coal in the bins.

The Rhinebeck Floral Co. is very busy
these days with its triple activities. A
good number of landscape orders is re-
ported by Nelson Coon, the manager of
this brauch. Elmer Coon of the retail
department is very proud of his house
of 'Mums this season; in fact, all the
stock looks healthy which, Mr. Coon says,
is the result of constant spraying. Oth-
ers tell us that this company's range of
Violet houses looks as fine as any in the,
district.

F. L. Mattison, Judson Traver and
William Burroughs recently left their
ranges in charge of their "fraus" and
sped to the North woods from which they
returned with three fine buck deers and
a report of plenty of venison left behind.
Vincent Beekman.

Auburn, N. Y.

The marked increase in funeral work
and cut flower trade; an abundance of
good stock, together with a general re-
duction in wholesale prices, especially
Roses, made the past week generally sat-
isfactory to all.

Chrysanthemums are the main attrac-
tion. In the large varieties there are
now Chieftain, pink and white; Chas.
Rager and Bonnaffon; in the Pompons
there is a large assortment. Roses and
Carnations are most useful in design
work. W. B.

Pompon 'Mums

Early Sorts Good for Outdoors

This is the 4th of November; we have
had several frosts, enough to kill the Cos-
:mos, Dahlias, Cannas and Nasturtiums
our patrons had to draw from, but out^ in
the open and unprotected we have a fine
display of Uralda, Edina, Zora and Fire-
fly Pompon Chrysanthemums. They came
into flower a few days later than those
grown on benches inside and perhaps are
not of so high quality, but nevertheless,
they are well worth mentioning as desir-
able sorts. They more than pay for them-
selves in one season. Unusually mild
Fall, you say; granted, but why not plant
in oft. wide beds and protect with sashes?
There are other fine early Pompons, maybe
some even better than the above, but it
is these four which are at their best
with us now, and it seems that every flo-
rist who grows 'Hums should include
them in his list .for planting outdoors.
Barring an extra heavy frost, they will
certainly make a fine display in the open.

Calendulas

For Early Spring

If you have bench space, you can't make
a mistake by planting out a good sized
batch of Calendulas. Those in flower now
will be past their best by the end of
February or the middle of March, while
2y2in. plants, benched now, should be in
fine shape to take the place of such as
have flowered all Winter. If you haven't
a bench, it is every bit as well to make
use of a solid bed. Calendulas like a
45-deg. house; that is, during mid-
Winter. When we make toward
March, they will do nicely in Carnation
temperature. It is not too late to sow
seed now; be sure to obtain a good strain.
Seed sown from now on, up to the end of
this month, will give you plants with the
largest flowers and longest stems just
about Easter and after that can be
thrown out if you need the bench space
for Spring stock. I consider good Calen-
dulas, which can be successfully grown
with but little care, a most desirable
crop for the smaller retail grower in par-
ticular. There seems to be always a de-
mand for the flowers.

Sweet Peas

To Follow 'Mums

If you have the room and wish to get
along with the least amount of coal, by
all means sow Sweet Peas after the
Chrysanthemums are through. With
many growers, the bedding plants form
jierhaps the most important crop and
every inch of space in the establishment
is occupied with them when we make
toward May and up to the time we are
ready again, ; to bench Carnations or
Chrysanthemums. With the latter out of
the way, there are four months or so a
house, or part of one, may be devoted to
Peas. Planted now, they will form a good
so-called catch crop and can be removed
if necessary to make room for Geraniums,
getting their last shift the middle or end
of April. Make use of solid beds and al-
ways be sure of sufficient head room.
Sow lengthwise in the bed, a double row
if you like, running up your wires and
string between. Sow a good strain of
white, light or deep pink or light laven-
der. It never hurts to have a lin. layer
of sand below and on top of the seeds. It
guards against seed rotting.

Schizanthus

Sow More Seed

Why not sow seed now of Schizanthus,
even if you have a nice lot of plants com-
ing along? Seed sown now and the seed-
lings potted up later on into 2y2a, can
be carried in a cool house and will be
in fine shape after your Christmas rush
is over, for filling a bench or solid bed.
You can grow Schizanthus best during
Winter in a house about or a little be-
low 50; in fact, they are better off for it

Great Weeks Ahead. Get Your Share of

Business

Your patrons don't care what you grow on yourself; they expect to be-
hold a show when they pay your establishment a visit.

More plants and flowers will be used from now on up to Jan. I than

ever before get your share of the business. Plenty of good stock is in

the country; get what you need. Stock up now. Advertise; keep at it
day and night and take a rest after the New Year. Take a rest getting
ready for the next harvest.

and, after all, it doesn't matter when the
plants come into bloom you will always
find good use for the flowers. Plants
from seed sown now won't do much in
the way of flowering before the middle
of March, but that holds good with al-
most anything you sow now in the way
of annuals. You can't expect to cut
much during January and February; these
two months you want plenty of Paper-
whites, Soleil d'Or, Trumpet Major and
Golden Spur Narcissi, Stevia, Buddleia
Freesias, Mignonette and Calendulas to
cut from.

Cyclamen

Your Christmas Stock

More and more is the growing on of
Cyclamen drifting into the hands of
specialists and it is easy to realize that
no one can handle plants which require
from 14 to 16 months or more before they
are ready for the counter, as good or as
cheaply, on a small scale. No matter
what you pay for a 6in. plant in bloom,
compared with what it costs to produce
such a plant, you will find it cheapest to

House of the new white and pink variegated Carnation Eldora, intro-
duced this year by the originator, Wm. Sim, Cliftondale, Mass.

These plants were set in the house from the field on July 15. The photograph plainly shows
the sturdy, ideal growth, the strong and yet graceful stems and the floriferousness and easi-
ness of the plant. The flower is clear white with vivid pink stripes and markings, similar
but not quite as heavy as Benora; it is of good size, not too large, absolutely does not split
and is a splendid keeper and shipper. Eldora makes a good-sized plant in a very short time
and every shoot soon perfects a flower. It is what Carnation growers call "a bread and

butter sort"

Chrysanthemums

Care of Your Stock Plants

To begin with, don't set aside any stock
varieties which you know don't pay.
To do so is poor business. There are
plenty of choice sorts to select from. If
you can, lift the cut over plants and put
them in deep flats making use of fresh
soil for planting, and make use of a deep
frame to store them away. You can plant
quite close; of course giving a good water-
ing after planting. Provide each flat
was a good label. In a frame from which
heavy frost can be kept out, there is no rea-
son for bringing the flats in much before
February, when they should be placed in
a 45-deg. house. Another way is to
plant the stock plants out right into a
frame and bring in later on, but you will
have to avoid heavy freezing. On the
other hand, subjecting them to light freez-
ing doesn't hurt them nearly as much as
to carry them along in a house too warm.
If you wish, the flats can also be carried
in a Violet house or if you have space
plant out on a bench in a house 40 deg.,
increasing the temperature next Febru-
ary, gradually to 50 deg.

buy ready grown, what you need, at least
for November and December. Right now
when the Chrysanthemums are leaving the
benches, it is well for the retail grower
to consider purchasing some well grown
Cyclamen set with buds and better still,
the first ones showing color. From now
on, almost any house where a temperature
of a little over 50 can be maintained, the
plants will do nicely. Few other plants
are more attractive for your visitors to
look at; a well grown Cyclamen,
even without flowers, if it has
perfect foliage, compares favorably with
almost anything we carry. From now on
the plants will require but little care.
Stock up now; start to let your patrons
see what you are going to have later on.

Retail Notes

With the advent of November and
'Mums coming in freely, business has im-
proved considerably. Once again we hear
the optimistic song of the satisfied store
man.

Mrs. Geo. Goldbaeh and the Hamilton
Theatre joined up in an advertising
"stunt" that brought considerable busi-
ness to the store and made many friends-.
In her window was a handsome framed
picture of the leading lady, surrounded
and set in a window decoration such as
Mrs. Goldbaeh is noted for. In the win-
dow was a bowl of Rosea and any one
guessing the number, received a pass to
the theatre. The guessing was not a par-
ticularly hard proposition, for some fifty
passes were given out during the week.

Mr. Durand of the B. F. Barr Co. had
a fine window last week, worked out in
yellow; business was just a little better
than usual.

Walter Hammond was busy with fu-
neral work. He conducts the only flower
shop in the city as he sells nothing but
flowers and refuses to be tempted by any
side lines.

Miss Steekman has been especially busy,
as one of her employees has been off the
full week. Reduced help and increased
output makes the boss do some hustling.

By the time this is in print the political
clouds will have rolled by and we look
for everything to come back to normal as
the war on the other side, compared to
our political was was comparable to
the proverbial gnat to a camel. In a re-
cent parade Jack Moore of the Rosary,
headed a delegation. President Harry
K. Rohrer gave out BonnafTon 'Mums to
every marcher. In another, B. F. Barr,
Lemon Landis and H. K. Rohrer carried
flags. The writer carried a banner just
to show that the florists were part and
parcel of the city and its affairs.

that days and nights are one to them.

This flesh pink sport of Ophelia was grown
by the late Frank Stuppy for the past five
years and will be disseminated in early Spring
of 1923.

It is a wonderful improvement over its
parent, having much better color, of deeper
shade, much more productive and averaging
46 petals. It is a vigorous grower and disease
resistant.

in some cases it would be better to have
it cold enough to compel firing, as the
temptation to hold off fires out until
there is actual danger of freezing, has
set many a man's income back from 10
to 25 per cent. I have done it myself
and know whereof I speak.

York, Pa. — The florist business is very
quiet at present. During the last few
days Chrysanthemums have started to
move. All outdoor flowers are over, but
we do not look for any great business
until we have had some real cold weather.

How Do You Push Violets ?

The Rhinebeck Floral Co., Rhinebeck,
N. ¥., in its Violet Bulletin, is inviting
florists to explain any special method
they have for increasing their sales of
Violets. For the best scheme a parcel of
500 Violets is offered and 50 blooms for
any other ideas that may be sent in.

Owing to the extra warm weather last
month, Violets during November are
likely to be on the short side in the
Rhinebeck district.

Bulbs and Bedding Plants Give a Lengthy Display

Now is the time to advocate bulbs for early blocm in the

garden, especially to owners who have been content with

bedding plants only

Humbert Carina and Scarlet Sage, with Ageratum on
the inside edge toward the pool. Red Geraniums and
variegated leaved Abutilon composed the four beds
about circle in background; bronze leaved Begonias
and yellow Coleus in the next two beds and purple

WITH all due respect to the
value of hardy herbaceous
perennials, and appreciat-
ing their worth when appropriate-
ly used in certain types of gar-
dens, they cannot equal for pro-
longed showiness the so-called
bedding plants, especially in con-
junction with an early display of
bulbs. True, the tender plants re-
quire annual planting ; in fact,
two plantings, where bulbs are
used, but the effect is continuous
throughout the entire season.

In The Ploeists Exchange of
July 15 appeared a photograph of
such a formal garden in its Spring
dress of Tulips and Pansies. We
now present a view of the same
garden photographed in its late
Summer dress and its colorful
content is easily imagined.

In the foreground bed is Agera-
tum with an edging of Iresine
(Achyranthes) with yellow veined
foliage. In the center of next two
beds is Iresine brilliantissima with
borders of yellow Coleus, while
the four next beds around the
circle have pink Geraniums in
center edged with Iresine of a
darker shade than brilliantissima.
In the circle are Cannas Yellow
King, Humbert (Queen Helen).
The four beds around the pool
consist of Hydrangea paniculata
grandiflora, which have had the
large flower heads tied up, sur-
rounded by purple leaved King

Widener Memorial Home, Philadelphia, with Summer bedding plants

Ageratum in the extreme background bed just visible.
Thus, from frost till frost we have a "continuous
performance" of color contrasts, enjoyed by those
within the grounds and those who pass by— a credit
to the gardener in charge.

The present Autumn would seem
an opportune time for florists to
advocate the planting of bulbs to
customers who heretofore have
been content to confine their se-
lection to the bedding plants. The
sale of bulbs is thereby increased ;
also perhaps the order to plant
them. The resultant Spring dis-
play is bound to surprise and
please the customer and, inci-
dentally, create a greater inter-
est in flowers, all of which is
good for the florist and nursery
trade.

Referring to bulbs, it is inad-
visable to advocate the Darwin or
late Tulips for beds that will later
be filled with Summer annuals, as
the latter are ready for planting
out before the bulb display is
over, or at least before the bulbs
have ripened. On the other hand,
there are many who know only the
early flowering Tulips and should
be encouraged to plant some Dar-
wins in clusters about the herba-
ceous perennials where the bulbs
may ripen off naturally and re-
main in the ground for the fol-
lowing season's display. This fea-
ture is worthy of more general
adoption by those who have
herbaceous borders or gardens
and represents a fertile field
for the sale of late flowering
Tulips.

Advantages of the "Part Cash in
Advance" Plan

Comments of Paul C. Stark, Louisiana, Mo.,
Before Meeting of the Southern Nursery-
men's Association, Lexington, Ky.

YOU doubtless received last Spring the little book-
let on this plan published by the Western Asso-
ciation of Nurserymen. If not you should write
to Secretary Holsinger, of Rosedale, Kan., for a copy.

"A large number of the nurserymen who have care-
fully investigated the advantages of this plan have
taken steps to put their business on this basis, for
they realize that most of the conditions that make the
nursery business hazardous can be eliminated if a
good proportion of cash is collected when the order
is taken. I have talked with a number of those who
have tried it since the committee made its report and
they are enthusiastic about the results.

"Our company is putting its salesmen under bond
according to the recommended plan, and they are
starting to collect part cash with their orders.
A most encouraging feature is the fact that the
salesmen almost unanimously recognize the advan-
tages such as bigger business, more profits, larger
advances, and less losses from countermands, as well
as the added prestige gained by their becoming
'bonded salesmen.'

"Of course, it is going to take some time before all
salesmen and all the public thoroughly understand
and accept this part-eash-in-advance plan, but I firmly
believe that the nurseries that adopt it will not only
do a bigger business than formerly, but will largely
eliminate the losses in collections, countermands, bad
notes and the like that have made such deep inroads

on their profits in the past. Certainly there is
nothing for each nurseryman to lose 'by adopting it —
and there is a great deal to gain. In fact, those who
adopt the plan will have the advantage over those
who fail to do so.

"Any policy that was not for the best interests of
the honest public and the honest salesmen, would be
undesirable and would undoubtedly fail in the end.
This plan is not only a good proposition for the nur-
serymen but it is also a great benefit for the public.
The only persons who could object to its principles
are the crooked buyers and the crooked salesmen —
and their objections are the best of recommendations.

"Through this plan the customer gets more value
for his money, is put in a 'preferred class,' is pro-
tected from dishonest agents, and does not have to
pay the bad debts of the dishonest buyer.

"All these factors tend to put the nurseryman's
business on a firmer foundation, reducing business
failures and permitting more business to be handled —
and handled on a higher plane."

The Passing of an Old Nursery Site

Meehan's Nursery at Germantown Sold for Real Estate

Development — S. Mendelson Meehan will continue in

charge of Thomas Meehan & Sons

FOR some time it has been known that negotiations
were pending for the sale of the old Meehan nur-
series at Germantown, Philadelphia. Today
(Nov. 4) the daily press announces that settlement
has been made so we are at liberty to authentically
chronicle the passing of the site — but not the name —
of Thomas Meehan & Sons, to make way for building
developments of a growing city.

If plants had the power of speech this announce-
ment spreading over the horticultural world would
evoke tender memories from an alumni scattered
through many climes and distant regions ; trees and
shrubs that would look back to their Germantown
Alma Mater in reminiscent mood. Even from far
off Australia would come such recollection of birth
at Meehan's nursery. Trees in remote places where
arboriculture is fostered would note that the seed
from which they rose had been collected by Meehan's
boys and carefully assembled and shipped by "Uncle
Joe" Meehan, whose memory is still strong in the
minds of readers of The Ploeists Exchange. Other
plants would pay homage to the masterful skill of the
late "Uncle Ed" Meehan to whose deft grafting they
owe their propagation.

Edward Meehan was but little known to the trade
for he had no aspirations as a writer, being content
to plug away in the nursery, early and late. But as
a propagator and a man who could tell one plant from
another at any season of the year, he was one of the
best informed practical men of his day. To him and
his brother Joseph, did Thomas Meehan, owner of the
nurseries, owe much of their success. Although they
"hid their light under a bushel" they kept up the
practical workings while their brother Thomas, as-
sisted later by his three sons, sought and found a
market for their products. With such able assistants
in the nursery, Thomas Meehan, the authority, was
free to give the world the benefit of his more scien-
tific mind in the form of writings.

As a writer he is perhaps best known for his
"Native Flowers and Ferns of the United States" or
as editor for 30 years of The Gardeners Monthly,
which was established in 1S59. In 1S53 he wrote
"The American Handbook of Ornamental Trees," dedi-
cated "to the memory of John Bartram. the patriarch
of American arboriculture," which described about

The Passing of an Old Nursery
Site

{Continued from page 1267)

300 plants with which he was personally
familiar. From his youth, until death
palsied his pen, on Nov. 19, 1901, Thomas
Meehan was a prolific writer, whose more
popular articles did much to interest and
educate plant buyers, while his more
technical works along botanical lines ap-
peal to scientific bodies.

With such a personnel directing the
nursery's destinies, from 1854, when it
was started, for nearly three score and
ten years, one can readily appreciate the
accumulation of rare specimen trees which
were retained for propagating purposes.
Others, less rare perhaps, were spared
the axe from time to time and allowed to
grow up and dot the grounds, which are
now to be developed by builders, whose
progress as a phase of the city's growth
could not well De arrested.

While it is consoling to know that com-
panions of many of these doomed plants
have found their way into distant, per-
manent homes, it is distressing to plant
lovers, especially to those who have been
connected with Meehan's, to feel that
those that remained could not have been
preserved to form an arboretum like that
which Thomas Meehan as a councilman of
Philadelphia was instrumental in making
through the purchase of the old home and
garden of John Bartram. Many builders
would have arranged their grades with a
view to preserving these old trees, but
we understand that in this instance the
entire 40 acres (part of the nursery hav-
ing been sold several years ago) is to be
regraded. Steam shovels are willing tools
of man and no respecter of trees, regard-
less of rarity or size.

One of the first Japanese blood leaved
Maples that Mr. Meehan imported, about
1876, is thus destined to go. We also
see a large shapely Japanese Oak (Quer-
elas dentata), spared for many years, now
in jeopardy. Likewise, a large Japanese
Elm (TTlmus parrifolia), a Japanese Hack-
berry (Celtis sinensis); the true corked
barked Cedrela (C. Amurensis) ; a large
Wistaria tree (Pterostyran hispidum), a
Symphlocos, a purple leaved Oak, a Ptero-
carya, a Redwood tree, a Japanese Pine
(Sciadopitys), a large Paul's scarlet Haw-
thorn and many another fine tree, all
too large for commercial use, although
they could be transplanted for anyone
willing to pay the price.

Then there is an Engelmann's Spruce
(Picea Engehnannii) whose parents were
found by Thomas Meehan and Josiah
Hoopes when, in the Rocky Mountains
years ago, they discovered a hitherto un-
explored canyon. The needles of the
parent plant, which Mr. Meehan named
for his Dotanical friend, Dr. Engelmann,
were used for pillows by the campers, and
twigs from the offspring tree, which now
must go, were affectionately placed as a
pillow for Thomas Meehan's eternal sleep.

But let us again assure the trade that

this announcement does not record the
passing of the name of Meehan from horti-
culture. Before the death of Thomas
Meehan he was ably assisted by three
sons, whom he took into partnership and
who are now active and well known in
this profession. The oldest, Thomas B.,
under whom the writer had the pleasure
of making his debut into the nursery busi-
ness, some 20 years ago, is engaged with
his son, Albert F., under the name of
Thomas B. Meehan Co., conducting a
strictly wholesale business at Dresner,
Pa., where they have over 200 acres of
hardy trees and plants. The service of
this firm is in no way curtailed by the
sale of the original nursery site.

Another son, J. Franklin, will continue
to conduct a landscape department, in
which he1 has specialized for many years,
at Mount Airy. S. Mendelson Meehan,
who has retained the old firm name of
Thomas Meehan & Sons, and who suc-
ceeded his father as editor of Meehan's
Monthly, will continue to serve the retail
trade, drawing on the stock of his brother
at Dresher, Pa., and from other sources
to be announced later.

And so, while the passing of the old
Meehan's nursery will result in the at-
tracting of uptodate home seekers, it can-
not erase from the memory of those who
served on the Meehan staff the rare trees
of the old stock ground; the seed beds;
the packing shed, with its "puddle box'
of clay; the seed spread out on trays to
dry, after it had been washed from the
pulp; the old Kudzu vine • (Dolichos
japonicus) which seemed to grow faster
than the men could peg it down in "layers"
to form new plants. Nor will there be
forgotten the office beneath the old Sil-
ver Maples, beyond the large Weeping
Elms, at the entrance, where the volume
of business done seemed almost insur-
mountable during the Spring rushes, and
where the weekly evening sessions of the
Thomas Meehan Horticultural Society,
composed of employees, was the scene of
many a heated discussion of the whys and
wherefores of horticultural practice.

Bagatelle Rose Trials

A second visit of the jury, due to un-
toward weather conditions in June was
made to the Rose test garden in Paris on
Sept. 11. The award of a gold medal,
granted to the Holland Rose, Elvira
Aramayo in June, was confirmed. Its In-
dian red color and its persistency of
bloom are remarkable. Pernet Ducher
was also awarded a gold medal for Toison
d'Or, another superb yellow. A certifi-
cate was awarded to Mme. Alexandre
Dreux from Soupert it Notting, also yel-
low and several others, while a special
certificate was granted to a new climbing
H..T. named Vicomtesse du Fou. Raised
by a private gardener, this variety has
persistently flowered the entire season.
It is a vigorous grower and its flowers are
light pink with great fragrance.

Handling Nursery Stock Pays the
Florists

Certain- of our ivholesale nurserymen
are making determined efforts to intro-
duce evergreens into more gen-eral public
favor by impressing the florist trade to
handle them, also demonstrating how this
may best be d+ne. Here follows a story
ichich should serve to encourage these
nurserymen to keep their campaign going.

Our picture shows a section of the dis-
play made by Breeder! Bros, florists, Mill-
ville, N. J. at a recent show given by
the Millville Horticultural Society. J.
Walter Breeden, in an accompanying let-
ter, tells us he hopes its reproduction in
these columns will help others who con-
duct similar lines of business, and that
he himself has found the addition of the
sale of nursery stock most profitable and
feels that if the business increases in the
next two years as it has done in the past
two, the "tail will be wagging the dog."

The illustration represents a portion
of a garden with a gravel path, the
gravel itself being clean sawdust dyed with
orange colored diamond dye, which gives
it the color of gravel found in the Millville
section. So good an imitation, indeed, is
it that no one could tell it from the gen-
uine. This path was bordered with Trail-
ing Gem Coleus and Verbena in shallow,
narrow boxes, planted, of course, weeks
in advance of the show. This gave the
appearance of a flowered bordered path.
The manner in which the evergreens were
massed was too close for practical pur-

poses, it's true, but, arranged in the way
shown, they looked all the more beautiful
and had the effect of making people want
to possess them. These evergreens con-
sisted mostly of Retinisporas, blue or gray,
green or gold. Arranged between these
were various flowers from the garden,
placed so as to appear as realistic as
possible under the circumstances. The
tout ensemble was most pleasing and
elicited much favorable comment and
certainly proved a business getter.

The lattice work and the boxes were
made in a shop which the Breedens use
for the purpose, having obtained much
work in this line in connection with their
landscaping development.

Speaking of certain remarks in a recent
issue of The Exchange wherein florist
growers were urged to handle evergreens,
Mr. Breeden says: "The florist who is not
handling evergreens is missing something
worthwhile. If the florist will bother
to find a good, reliable nursery (there
are, unfortunately some who are not re-
liable, as I have found to my sorrow),
one that is moderate in his prices and
will make himself a show ground stock
in home grounds, there is no reason why
i he cannot add a neat sum to his income.
It should be always borne in mind that the
sale of an evergreen tree is most unlikely
to lessen the sale of flowers."

Bartow, Pla. — A nursery for the propa-
gation of palms, to be used to adorn the
streets of Bartow, is being established by
the city on a plot of ground connected
with the city fire department buildings.

One Hundred and Forty Years in
Business

Still Going Strong

The Horticultural Advertiser (British)
in its series, "Our Centenarians" recent-
ly gave some details regarding J. R.
Pearson & Sons, Ltd., Lowdham, Notts.
This firm, by the way, was responsible
for the advent of the Horticultural Ad-
vertiser) the first British trade paper we
believe, and it is still edited by Chas. E.
Pearson, although a year or two ago it
was turned over to an independent com-
pany.

The actual origin of J. R. Pearson is
not known; the earliest records only show
that John Pearson, in 1782, enlarged
his nursery by a further purchase of land.
His first traceable catalog was issued in
1787, and it consisted of 56 pages.

John Pearson was a specialist in flo-
rists1 flowers; he possessed some of the
finest gold laced Polyanthus in existence;
his own seedlings, Alexander, Lord Mid-
dleton and King were unequalled. For
these he used to obtain from $5 to $35 a
plant. Auriculas made $10, Ranunculus
up to $7.50 and Carnations and Pinks
from $2.50 to $5 each. From this it is
clear that good prices were always obtain-
able for choice things in early days.

The Pearson family can trace its his-
tory back 300 years by the church rec-
ords, but John Pearson was the first to
take up nursery work. He was credited
with wonderful business ability. As
showing how little room present day grow-
ers have for claiming an advance in the
way of plant raising, it may be men-
tioned that John Pearson in his 1787
catalog, listed 304 varieties of Goose-
berries, 296 sorts of Tulips, 288 varieties
of Ranunculus and similar numbers of
Anemones, Carnations, Pinks, Auriculas,
and other florists' flowers. It must be
understood, too, that the buyers in those
days were probably more discriminating
than today; the old time weavers, lace
workers, bootmakers, etc., were all red
hot exhibitors, and their main object was
not garden decoration, but desperate bat-
tles at the various little exhibitions often
held in the village hostelry. John Pearson
must have been a rabid enthusiast, for
he purchased two fine Carnation plants
at the Derby show and, as they were in
11 in. pots and he could not carry them
on horseback, he put up his horse and
walked the twelve miles to Lowdham with
the plants. Imagine anyone attempting
the task today even with 5in. pot plants,
least of all, llin., but John Pearson was
not taking any chances by leaving the
vendor to ship them by coach, and hav-
ing reached home with his treasures, John
Pearson then walked back for his horse.

His son who succeeded him was a great
sportsman and he won greater renown as
a breeder of trotting horses than as a

nurseryman, although he did plant a big
acreage to Apples and raised quantities
of farm seeds.

The second John Pearson left two sons;
J. R. Pearson possessed the business
ability of his grandfather, while A. Pear-
son, like his father, was a sportsman, be-
ing the best fighter, runner, shot, rider,
etc., in the district. He early migrated
to America where he settled. J. R. car-
ried on the business and eventually left
it in the hands of the present proprietors,
A. H., Chas. E. and J. D. Pearson. J.
R. Pearson first saw the possibilities of
glass and after his brother's departure,
he put up many greenhouses of a size un-
dreamt of by nurserymen of the time.
He specialized in orchard house trees and
vines, but possessing the florist's blood
of his grandfather, he took to raising
Geraniums. Even today, Pearson's single
Geraniums are remembered as being in a
class by themselves.

The present proprietors gave up Gera-
niums some 15 or more years ago, Chas.
E. devoting most of his attention to
flowers; A. H. specializing in fruit, while
J. D. handles Daffodils and other bulbs.
As raisers of Daffodils J. R. Pearson &
Sons rank with the best. Altogether, the
firm is a remarkable one and is particu-
larly noteworthy for its absolutely
straight dealing and its antipathy to the
mixing of private garden interests with
the trade.

The Nigger in the Woodpile

As is well known, the British nursery
trade is not a little keen on having an
embargo on foreign stock but efforts to
induce the powers that be to see eye to
eye with them have been more or less
futile. According to one of the branches
of the Horticultural Trades Association,
one of the chief reasons operating against
the movement is the fact that the chief
permanent secretary employed by the gov-
ernment department is a Dutchman. A
movement is on foot to find out who this
gentleman is and why an Englishman is
not occupying the position.

Efforts, too, are being made to obtain
a modification of the heavy duty on cut
flowers entering France. Only choice
stock such as Roses, Carnations and Or-
chids is shipped from England and the
trade feels a little sore that this trade
is hindered while French stock enters the
British markets by the shipload. The
heavy duty on flowers in France is chief-
ly directed against Italian outdoor pro-
duce, but it naturally operates against all
stock.

Tree Planting Week in Missouri

Governor Arthur M. Hyde, influenced
by the campaign to Plant Another Tree,
swung briskly into line through the is-
suance of a proclamation appointing the
week of Oct. 27 to Nov. 3, 1922, as Mis-
souri Tree Planting Week. In his argu-

ment as to the necessity of such an ob-
servance, Gov. Hyde called attention to
the fact that the number of bearing fruit
trees had declined 61 per cent in the
past ten years in the State of Missouri,
while the number of young fruit trees
not yet of bearing age showed a total re-
duction of 49 per cent as compared with
1910. He further drew attention to the
fact that the week nominated allowed
more time for selecting varieties and
planting same than was possible during
the busy days of farm work in the early
Spring.

It is well within reason to hope that
as the years pass on, more and more of
our States will fall into line, and even-
tually National Tree Planting Week be-
come an observance in every State
throughout the Union. To accomplish this
will take time and work on the part of the
promoters. This we feel assured they
are prepared to give and give freely.

Pasadena, Cal.

D. W. Coolidge, the famous novelty
plantsman of this Coast, is moving his
propagating establishment to Altadena
where land values are not so high as
they are where he is now located. Slowly
but surely all such enterprises are being
crowded out of the city because of the
increasing cost of city locations.

The English Marigolds

From the Belleville {Out.) Intelligencer.

Those vivid orange "followers of the
sun" — the Mary-golds — are kept busy
these Aultumn days foretelling stormy
weather, which they do by closing and
contracting their bright green and some-
what sticky leaves.

As the emblem of constancy in affec-
tion and sympathy in joy and sorrow the
Marigolds in days of old were supposed
to have great power to "comfort and
strengthen the heart." Judicious house- ■
wives were careful to gather and store
the petals even as they do lavender in
these sweet scented days.

Marigolds owe their existence to the
life blood of the Indians slain in Mexico
by the Spaniards. Their juice is a sure
"cure" if applied to warts.

In western Wales garlands of the
marsh Marigold, or "drunkards," as
they are called in Devonshire, are placed
on the doorposts to prevent evil spirits
from entering the house.

• The delicate heliotrope, which from
its fragrance has earned the name of
"cherry pie," signifies in the language of
flowers "I turn to thee."

If a plant of heliotrope in blossom is
placed in a church, according to the old
legend, it will keep in their places all
the women who have been untrue to
their marriage vows.

[The foregoing affords information
which may be new to others as ,it is to
us. We do not know how the term Eng-
lish Marigolds arises; for presuming Cal-
endula officinalis is meant, it hails from
southern Europe although grown in Eng-
land since 1573. We were not aware that
any one of the socalled Marigolds could
foretell the weather, but we might men-
tion that it is possible to dry the Calen-
dula according to some writers. We have
never' tried them, however. — Ed.]

J. A. Neal has raised his window
20in. and enlarged it considerably by ex-
tending it into the store, giving a greater
display area. Mr. Neal has had a number
of wedding decorations recently. Mrs.
Neal has returned from a fortnight's visit
to Buffalo.

Tidy & Son have had a number of wed-
ding decorations recently and have sev-
eral more booked including a large one
for Cobang, Ont. They were showing this
week a vase of Golden Ophelia; it came
from the greenhouses of Miller Florists
Ltd. This Rose is a beautiful golden
shade and was much admired by custom-
ers.

J. H. Dunlop & Sons, Ltd. report a big
demand for Roses. The supply is not
sufficient to fill orders. Dunlop's have
been busy during the past week with de-
sign work. Several prominent men died
and the floral offerings were magnificent.
One piece was several feet high. It con-
sisted of white 'Mums, white Roses and
orchids. Saturday's window display at-
tracted many people. It consisted of
baskets of huge 'Mums with perfect foli-
age as well as orchids.

Club Matters

George M. Geraghty entertained
the executives of the Toronto Retail Flo-
rists Club at his apartment on Friday
evening, Nov. 3, when plans were ar-
ranged for some of the coming meetings
of the club. Committees were appointed
as follows. Social, Miss Mearns, chair-
man and the ladies; Sick, J. J. Higgins,
chairman, Geo. Gard and James Lawrie;
Finance, L. Waters, chairman, Chas.
Cooper, Arthur G. Frost, F. Dean and
Mrs. Waters; Publicity, Geo. M. Geraghty,
chairman, Harry James, J. J. Higgins
and S. A. McFadden; Lookout Committee,
S. A. Frost; Program Committee, the ex-
ecutive. It was decided to have cards and
a talk on the F. T. D. annual meeting
at the regular meeting of the club on
Nov. 13. Refreshments will be supplied
by President Geraghty.

President Geraghty announced that he
and Secretary James intend calling on
all the Toronto florists in the near fu-
ture and build up the interest in the
meetings. It was also decided to have
progressive euchre during the season and
award six valuable prizes to the three
ladies and three gentlemen making the
highest scores. These scores will be kept
on the club's blackboard so that members
may see their standing at any time.

The club's representatives to the Royal
Winter Show Executive reported that ar-
rangements had been made with the Apple
and bird men to pool their exhibits and
the decorations and floral exhibits will
be so arranged as to give the most pleas-
ing effect.

At the conclusion of the meeting Mr.
Geraghty entertained the members to din-
ner.

H. G. Dillemuth is on a hunting trip up

Florists Telegraph Delivery Development

Western Ontario Leads the Way in Unit Formation

THAT the great F. T. D. business meeting at Baltimore resulted in some
inspiration, and even more enthusiasm, was plainly evidenced on Oct. 31

at London, Ont. Director W. W. Gammage and Representative G. F. Dicks,
with their comrade E. B. Hamilton, came back to the Dominion and literally
jumped right into the work of taking full advantage of this latest development
of F. T. D. organization. A conference of Loudon florists met, carefully went
over all the pros and cons, and eventually decided to invite all the western
Ontario members to gather for a free, frank consideration of the present work
and future possibilities of the great cooperative movement. They did the work
of preparation well. The Tecumseh Hotel looked as though a great convention
was in progress. Decorations were everywhere from the front door right up to
the room on an upper floor, where for nearly five hours the meeting was in
progress. In addition to the London friends there were representatives from
Brantford, Windsor, Chatham, Sarnia, Arkona, Kitchener and Hamilton, and
as no F. T. D. meeting would be quite complete without him "Push" Pochelon
was there in his best form. The chairman was W. W. Gammage.

Lieut. Col. Beatty offered an opening invocation, following which he asked
the chairman to accept a gavel in the shape of a good builder's hammer to assist
in keeping order. On behalf of the London Chamber of Commerce W. Gray,
vice-president of the Chamber, heartily welcomed the delegates to the city,
expressing satisfaction at the fact that the great florist profession was such an
important factor in the commercial life of the country. He wished the meeting
every possible success. The chairman in a brief opening address said there were
two or three reasons for calling the meeting. One was that those who were
privileged to go to Baltimore felt that they should try and pass along some of
the inspiration received there and thus, perhaps, stir up more enthusiasm.
Another reason was the fact that the new district organizations would bring all
the members into closer touch with each other, as well as with the executive;
it was felt that the sooner we met the new conditions and took advantage of
them the better. He said that the time had come when the annual business
meeting could not handle all the matter requiring consideration, for which added
reason it was thought wise to carefully consider the formation of these district
units.

Mr. Pochelon, in one of his numerous talks during the meeting, urged the
forgetting of the word convention, advising that the meeting be considered as
for business only. He appealed for a greater application of the real spirit of
cooperation and unselfishness on all' of the 365 days in the year. While it is
impossible here to properly report his talks, it may be said' here that his assist-
ance during the meeting was of great value. Vibrating with enthusiasm for the
association he again and again brought to the meeting a human touch and tone
that did untold good.

Telegraph and Telephone Service

At this stage the F. T. D. pledge was repeated by all present, following which
a short talk on the Telegram as applied to our service was given by Mr. Foster,
London manager of Canadian National Telegraphs. He spoke of the effort made
by the great telegraph companies to give efficient service; told of the work being
done to instruct operators, to avoid errors and to secure speed ; and showed how
in a number of ways the operating companies are trying to keep abreast of the
times. He also compared the cost of a telegram with that of an average letter
in any large business house, claiming for the "wire" that it was at least a fine
medium for the transmission of orders. Mr. Foster suggested that F. T. D. mem-
bers should more often get into touch with the local telegraph managers who
always stand ready to help with window displays or in other ways. A number
of questions were asked, and out of the discussions following his answers many
helpful suggestions arose.

K. J. Dunstan, vice-president Canadian Bell Telephone Co., gave a brief ad-
dress on the use of the telephone in connection with F. T. D. service. He claimed
that the personal touch made possible by the 'phone was of great value in busi-
ness, and detailed the different grades of service now provided by the company.
Mr. Dunstan assured the meeting that the telephone company was anxious not
only to cooperate but also to assist the florist at every point in his business, and
concluded by asking for suggestions at any time that would be of assistance in
the bettering of service. Mr. Baird, the local manager of the Bell Telephone Co.,
was also present and spoke briefly.

A general discussion followed on methods that might help the public to more
fully understand the meaning of F. T. D. service. Advertising by mail and news-
paper, the use of good window decorations, writing to the press, and addressing
meetings of social and commercial clubs were named as being good publicity
mediums. Those present were urged to use them all whenever possible.

A Policy for Non-Member Orders

Some time was given to the subject of how to handle F. T. D. orders properly,
with two amusing but wholly practical demonstrations. Filling orders from
non-members was also discussed, the general opinion being that it was always
wise to fill a first order since by so doing a real business understanding could
often be reached. In this connection Mr. Pochelon said that for the sake of the
public every order should be filled, if possible, and gave figures to prove that the
percentage of bad accounts was really infinitesimal. Among other subjects talked
about were holiday prices and decoration and hospital days.

The concluding item on the program was the formation of a Western Ontario
Unit. This action was unanimously approved, on duly seconded motion and the
meeting at once proceeded to elect officers. In view of the fact that the venture
was new and that a number of western Ontario members were not present, it
was decided to nominate officers and send the list of nominations by mail to every
member in the western Ontario district for voting. This being agreed to nom-
inations were made for the office of chairman, vice-chairman, secretary, and

district representative. The voting will
be done without delay and results pub-
lished.

At the conclusion of the meeting
everyone present was invited to a din-
ner in the hotel, where about 60 mem-
bers and friends enjoyed the hospital-
ity of the London friends. This func-
tion was a happy finale to a particu-
larly helpful and instructive gathering.
If the interest and enthusiasm of the
whole session counts for anything it
means that F. T. D. and the high prin-
ciples for which it stands will get a
real boost. The present aim is not
only to add to the membership but
also to accomplish the more important
work of improving service and the de-
veloping of the very highest type of
business ethics.

The Value of Rotation

The importance of crop rotation has
never been better accomplished than in
the Scilly Isles. Years ago, these islands
came to be the main source of Narcissus
flowers for the British markets. Every-
one grew Narcissus which flourished
amazingly. In latter years, there has
been a sad falling off and it is generally
assumed that the collapse is due to dis-
ease and pests, encouraged by the cul-
ture of the crop on the same land without
a change. The soil and climate of the
Scilly Isles is specially adapted to early
crops and efforts are to be made to re-
suscitate the industry.

The American Red Cross

The Annual Roll Call of this most worthy association
starts today (Armistice Day, Nov. 11) and continues to
Thanksgiving Day, (Nov. 30) giving every one an oppor-
tunity to be counted in the service for humanity.

The ground work for the stupendous task of reenrolling
the membership throughout the world has been laid in a
plan for the first complete and comprehensive system of
registration of the Red Cross membership in all its active
3300 Chapters at home and abroad. Another important
feature of the round-the-world roll call campaign v ill be
a universal effort to reenlist the active service of war-
time Red Cross workers in the peace program by their
participation in the roll call. In this way that vast
army of volunteers v ill once more affiliate with the v, ork
of the Eed Cross in its manifold phases.

Thousands of Chapters will adopt the home canvass
plan of enrollment this year, a plan which originated in
Pittsburgh •nhere last year it resulted in an increase in
membership of 50 per cent. Ah records in this year's
campaign v ill be kept on a standard size filing card which
will be filed by each Chapter, thereby furnishing a per-
manent record of the membership in each Chapter's
jurisdiction.

Railroad Express Charges

Judging by the attitude of the American Express
Co., there is not much likelihood of a decrease in ex-
press rates. The company is apparently in a position
to show it is losing money — many concerns like us to
believe they live on their losses — and it is doubtful
whether the inquiry fixed for Nov. 20 will bring about
any change, unless the company puts things so well
that an actual increase is ordered.

There seems to be a resemblance in the conditions
prevailing in both America and England. With gov-
ernment control during the war, the railroads in both
countries lost money, despite increased rates and,
seemingly two years of peace have brought little or
no improvement.

In England, the carrying of lighter baggage on
fast trains is done by the railways without the as-
sistance of any definite organization like the Ameri-
can Express Co., but the conditions are the same
insofar as high rates are concerned. Why the operat-
ing expenses of carrying do not descend with other
things is beyond us ; we can only assume that the
carrying companies still retain a semblance of the
bureaucratic influence which usually calls for two
people to do the job of one.

We might mention that in England the railways
have now to face a vast auto carrying system which,
despite the high costs of operating and heavy taxes,
often beats the railroads. Here we also have plenty
of auto truck carriers, but they make no effort to
compete with the express company charges. Quite
recently we had occasion to send a package weighing
24 lbs. by a trucking concern passing our home to a
town about four miles distant. The charge was 75
cents. The bus or rail traveling the same route would
have taken us and the parcel also for 20 cents. Verb,
sap.

State Senator-elect Wallace R, Pierso

The Honorable Senator-Elect Wallace R. Pierson

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Trade:

Permit this issue of The Exchange to introduce
you to State Senator Wallace R. Pierson of Cromwell,
Conn.

Just as we are going to press "on the morning
after the night before," with the country keenly
awake to the fact that the Republican organization
has not fared so well, or, should we say, that the
Democrats have fared exceedingly well, news comes
to us that one of the trade's most familiar figures.
Wallace R. Pierson, has won election in his district
for State Senatorship over a Democratic opponent.
The final election returns all over the country will
probably reveal no closer contest, as the figures re
ported to us show that Mr. Pierson won by a margin
of 166 out of a total of 7000 votes.

The Exchange congratulates Mr. Pierson on the
successful outcome of his candidacy, and feels that
his service to the State of Connecticut will be in
full keeping with the devotion he has shown toward
the national advancement of the horticultural in-
dustry.

The Washington Bulb Conference

The after impressions of the bulb conference of Oct. 30,
insofar as these have filtered to this office from different
trade sources, seem to be characterized by mild satisfaction
and moderate hopefulness for better conditions than now
exist, and considerably better conditions than some had
begun, with dismay, to anticipate. The harmonious and,
at times, even jovial atmosphere that characterized the
discussion between the Board and the trade is considered
a rather good omen, and it is also felt, not without reason,
that some really significant and convincing facts were

brought to light as to the existing insufficient supply of
many kinds of bulbs.

It is to be hoped that too much importance will not be
attributed to the estimates as to the nation's needs volun-
teered by some dealers at Mr. Beattie's request. These
estimates were, at best, mere guesses made on the spur
of the moment; it is entirely possible that they under-
estimate present conditions. Moreover, can it be denied
that the nation's consumption demand for any particular
kind of bulb might be considerably increased by special
publicity efforts on the part of the trade?

However, the conference did help to clear the air and
bring a specific phase of the quarantine controversy under
careful, intelligent scrutiny. To many it appeared as
though the arguments offered were quite enough to war-
rant substantial modifications in the bulb schedule of
Qu. 37; let it be hoped that the F. H. B. gained somewhat
of the same impression.

Just "Ferns"

In the preface to his remarkable "Commercial Flori-
culture"— which already, within a month of its publica-
tion, appears to have become the sensation in horticultural
trade literature— Fritz Bahr, after acknowledging that
he made the most of experience and finally attained suc-
cess after overcoming many obstacles, remarks how much
easier his life might have been had he possessed such a
guide book as he now has written. Adopting his line of
reasoning, we feel like saying that while the average florist
probably sells a moderate number of ferns and does fairly
well with them, think how much better he might do were
he to take careful note of the information that Dr. Bene-
dict is offering the trade in his series of Boston Fern
articles now appearing in The Exchange. These
articles present the systematic, classified findings of a
student of fern types, characters and values, who has not
only grown and bred ferns, but also carefully investigated
trade practices and tendencies in relation to that interest-
ing group of plant materials. Dr. Benedict is frank to
say that he can make use of and solicits further opinions
from other florists than those he has thus far interviewed;
but the fact that he grants that he still has much to learn
about his chosen subject is no reason for thinking that he
hasn't a lot of might valuable information at his finger s
end that the average florist anywhere can make use of with
profit. The purpose of his articles is to lay this informa-
tion before the trade and make them think it over. In
the words of the slogan builder, "Give a thought to ferns.

The original Armistice Day was a huge success as a
celebration largely because it was unexpected and spon-
taneous. No one had made any special plans, so everyone
did pretty much whatever occurred to them to do, "and
a fine time was had by all." Today, the surprise element
is gone, but is it not logical to assume that, as far as the
florist business, at least, is concerned, the very opportunity
and ability to make full preparations can contribute largely
to a better, more interesting and more profitable Nov. 11
business than has ever been recorded?

What did YOU do to make the Day (Nov. 11, this year)
a big one ? And how did your plans work out ? VY e would
like mightily to hear from some of our readers on these two
questions. Good live discussion— and the making of careful
notes therefrom — will ao more to insure another season's
success than you can perhaps have given thought to.

It is generally claimed in the "post- mortem"
auaiyses of Tuesday's election results, that the wide-
spread triumph of the Democratic party was an un-
mistakable protest against tne recently enacted Ford-
ney tariff, lusorar as the reorganization of Congress
may be able to bring auout, sooner or later a down-
ward revision oi tariff rates, the election may have
carried no little signincance for seedsmen and others
or our trade, .mere may be other important results,
but these are likely to be more or less local, depend-
ing upon the platforms or affiliations of particular
candidates. The Exchange will be glad to learn of
any ways in which the balloting has reacted upon
the prospects for the florist.

Oi course we don't have to be told— or to tell our
readers again, of the success of our now Connecticut
State Senator who, although raised to the dignified
status of an "Honorable" we gladly hail with a "Well
done, 'Wally' Pierson !"

A Correction

On page 1214 of last week's issue we find that our par-
ticular "devil" or someone made us state in discussing
the finances of the "Plan to Plant Another Tree" cam-
paign, that "There is payment given to any of the gentle-
men," etc. Of course what we meant to say — and what
we imagine our readers realized we meant to say — was
There is no payment given to — ", etc.

Some become young very late.

You may at times be a disappointment to your friends, but
the disappointment you are to yourself would' console your
worst enemy.

Society of American Florists and
Ornamental Horticulturists

National Flower Show

Information furnished by JOHN YOUNG, Secretary,
43 West ISth Street, New York

Believing that the time set for receiving invitations
for the holding of the next National Flower Show, Monday,
Nov. 6, possibly would not allow of sufficient time for a
proper consideration of the project, Chairman George
Asmus of the National Flower Show Committee, after
further communication with his committee members and
other officials, has postponed the meeting of the Commit-
tee called for that day in Cleveland, and the next day in
St. Louis, until such time as will'insure properly considered
invitations being before the Committee. All cities able
to house a National Flower Show are urged to give the
matter of the necessary invitation to the Society attention
without delay, and file a formal proposition with the'
secretary, with full particulars as to size and scope of hall
and special inducements, if any, which may be offered in
the circumstances.

Massachusetts Horticultural Society

Autumn Exhibition at Horticultural Hall,
Boston, Nov. 4 and 5

The Autumn exhibition of the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society was held on the afternoons of Saturday,
Nov. 4 and Sunday, Nov. 5, and was favored with the
best of weather conditions.

This Autumn exhibition has always proved to be one
of the big, if not biggest and most patronized events of the
year, but this year it has not come up to expectations for
several reasons. One explanation probably may be found
in the fact that a great number of people who formerly
spent their leisure hours at the show are now spending
their time automobiling around the country. Another
reason may be that, contrary to usual custom, an admis-
sion of fifty cents was charged ; which without doubt, kept
away many flower lovers. A charge of twenty-five cents
if any charge is advisable at all, would have made a big
difference in the attendance according to many observers.
After all, a flower, fruit and vegetable exhibition is serving
its end only when it is seen by the people. Then there
was a very feeble representation of exhibitors, and among
those that were present, there was not one of the com-
mercial element. The fruit and vegetable exhibits, especi-
ally those of fruit, were very numerous and competition
was keen. The tables were filled with excellent material.
In the flower and plant department, if Loren D. Towle,
Iristhorpe Gardens and one or two other exhibitors had
stayed away, there would not have been enough material
to fill an ordinary living room. As it was, the very credit-
able exhibits, set up by the parties mentioned and those
from Edwin S. Webster, Ernest B. Dane, and Thomas E.
Proctor filled the big hall comfortably; further their ex-
hibits were displayed with unusual care and refined taste.
The floor of the hall and the sides, also, presented a lovely
picture and it is a pity that more visitors were not present
to enjoy it. The attendance, counting only paid admis-
sions, was not over 500 the first day. On Sunday it was
not much better, so that it looks as if the society will
hardly get back the money it spent for advertising the
show in the daily papers, for which purpose it appro-
priated the sum of $500.

On entering the hall by way of the mezzanine floor, at
the left, we found a small collection of seedling Chrysan-
themums, from the spidery, canary-colored Mrs. Filkins,
staged by Mrs. W. H. Moore; A. E. J. Rogers, sup't.
The group received a first class certificate of merit, and
consisted of about a dozen remarkably fine varieties.
The same exhibitor also was awarded another certificate
of merit for six plants of the same cross, which bore hand-
some golden-rayed flowers.

On the same side, Cromwell Gardens, Cromwell, Conn.,
showed a number of vases containing extra well grown
Pompons and Singles; among them November Gold, Louisa
Davenport, Pauline Wilcox and New York, for which a
first-class certificate was awarded.

Arthur Lyman, Waltham ; Geo. F. Stewart, gdr., had a
fine collection of standard, commercial, large flowered
varieties which were grown in spray form without having
been disbudded, and which showed how these Chrysan-
themums can be made useful for decorative effect. The
varieties included Dr. Enguehard, Pink Ivory, Oconto,
Chrysolora, Roman Gold, Pacific Supreme, Bonnaffon
and Shrimpton. Close by was the exhibit of Allen J.
Jenkins, Shrewsbury, which was remarkable for the intense
coloring and the fine form of the flowers. These consisted
of Singles and Pompons of the following varieties: White
and Yellow Garza, White and Pink Doty, Fascination,
White and Yellow Mensa, and a number of big show
flowers.

In the Big Hall

Going down the stairs into the big hall, we saw on the

sides of the steps, some grand plants of Oncidium vari-
cosum Rogersii with as many as eight immense, gloriously
flowered sprays. They came from Henry Stewart, Wal-
tham. Next came one plant each of the new English,
Winter flowering Begonias Emily Clibran, Sunrise and
Orange King. Such plants have probably never been
seen at any exhibition. Four feet wide, and completely
smothered with their incomparable vivid colored blooms,
they were the most admired specimen plants at the show .
They were shown by Thomas E. Proctor of Topsfield,
whose superintendent, James Marlborough, is acknowl-
edged the foremost, and most successful, grower of these
new Begonias in this country.

For six Winter flowering Begonias, the first prize was
awarded to Mrs. R. M. Saltonstall, Chestnut Hill, Leonard
Seagrove, gdr., for splendidly grown plants of Emily
Clibran, Optima and Rosalind. They were shown in
combination with Teddy Jr. ferns and Marantas. Nearby
stood the only trained specimen of Chrysanthemum White
Ivory, spreading about 4ft. and grown in globular form.
It came from Loren D. Towle, Newton, whose supt.,
Harold Graham, has the distinction of having brought
back to the gardeners and florists of a by-gone day, mem-
ories when six or eight trained plants would fill one quarter
of the big exhibition hall, all by themselves. This plant
received first prize.

Two Great Groups

Three quarters of the space on the main floor, excepting
the space along the sides, was taken up by a group ar-
rangement from Loren D. Towle. This display was set
up in magnificent fashion. The sides, about 50ft., repre-
sented borders with sinuous curves. Each end of these

After More Chalk. — A boy was called away from this earth
and joined the great majority; and when he entered the por-
tals of the upper sphere, St. Peter told him to mount the
golden stairs and, giving him a piece of chalk directed him
to leave on each successive step a chalk mark for some sin that
he had committed. After advancing a considerable distance, the
boy met his father coming down, and asked, "Dad, what's the
matter; what are you coming back for?" "Out of chalk," was
the answer. — Ex.

A Leading Question or Two

1. — Is it an accepted and legitimate function of the
United States Department of Agriculture, or any
branch or bureau thereof, to supply and to offer to
supply to members of a trade the names of other
trade members — perhaps competitors — from whom
only they may be able to secure certain commodities'.'
Or, from another angle, should the trade be required
to consult the Department in order to ascertain the
sole sources whence it can secure certain stocks?

2. — Assuming that importations by amateurs of
bulbs not desired for propagation but merely for home
culture are prohibited (as they mostly are), that
growers have not found it possible or sufficiently
profitable to take up the raising of these bulbs, and
that retailers and importers also are prohibited from
importing such bulbs for resale (as they are) how is
the individual American citizen going to secure speci
mens of such bulbs lor his or her own use? And is
there any reason why he or she should be denied
them so long as it cannot be shown that those particu-
lar bulbs are infested with any specific new and
dangerous pest or disease?

3. — It is the ruling of the F. H. B. that an importer
of bulbs for propagation may the following year dis-
pose of the increase, retaining the full amount of
stock originally imported. If such an importer cuts
and sells the flowers from these bulbs the same
season they are planted, is he, either in spirit or
letter, living up to the terms of the permit under
which he secured them?

4. — According to Dr. Marlatt, it is just exactly as
dangerous to have a single injurious insect pest in-
troduced into the country as 100 or 1000. By this
reasoning, is there not just as great a chance of a
person's contracting tonsilitis if he goes to a theatre;
in which one member of the audience has the disease
as if he mingled in a crowd in which 100 had it?
And is not any such argument, after all, too specious
for consideration?

John Condon

With regret we announce the death of John Condon,
well known Brooklyn and Long Island horticulturist
banker, and clubman, who died on Saturday night last
Nov. 4, at his home, 139 Lincoln pi., Brooklyn, N. Y., in
his 77th year. Mr. Condon had held many positions of
honor and trust in public life aside from having gained
national fame as a plantsman.

Born in Ireland in 1845, he was brought to this country

by his parents, Catherinejand Patrick Condon, when he
v as but three months old. pi His father as a horticulturist
won many -cups and medals at the annual Castle Gar-
den horticultural shows.

In 1852, Patrick Condon started the business which
now bears his son's name at Greenwood Cemetery, Brook-
lyn, N. Y. To this business John Condon succeeded in
1870. Among his prominent and well known works in
this capacity was the planting of the six ros\s of trees on
either side of both Eastern Parkway and Ocean boule-
vard, and the phenomenal planting of 66,000sq. ft. of sod
on the grounds of the old Coney Island Jockey Club
within 60 hours before the opening of the season in 1871.
This w ork was carried through v ith an army of men who
worked night and day.

Mr. Condon for a number of years supplied Prospect
and other parks in Brooklyn v ith the bulbs for the beau-
tiful Tulip, Hyacinth and other flower displays which bright-
en the early Spring in these garden spots of the city.

The business began in a modest way with two green-
houses and a small patch of ground and gradually de-
veloped until some 35 houses and a large acreage of ground
were in use. The cemetery work called for extensive cul-
tures of cut flowers and enormous quantities of bedding
plants. As a decorative florist John Condon was no mean
exponent but in recent years we believe he devoted much
of his time to landscape work, the development of which
called for immense quantities of ornamental stock.

Mr. Condon was selected by Mayor Seth Low to serve
on the old Brooklyn Board of Education and by Mayor
David A. Boody to serve on the Shore Drive Parkway
Commission, in which position he was reappointed by
Mayors Schieren and Wurster. He was for eight years
treasurer of the Berkeley Collegiate Institute, a director
of the Sprague National Bank, which was later merged
with the Mechanics Bank, of whose advisory board he
became a member. He was a member of the Hamilton,
Germania, Marine and Field, Carleton and Montauk
clubs.

We understand that Mr. Condon is survived only by a
nephew, Major Charles Percy Watson of York, Pa. "

Charles Frost

Charles Frost, florist and world famous Pansy seed
specialist, died suddenly at his home in Kenilworth N J
Sept. 22, 1922 at the age of 76.

He was born near Newmarket, Eng., July 31, 1846 the
youngest of nine children. As was then customary, he
started in a trade — carpentering — at an early age, and
upon completing his apprenticeship left his 'home' and
went to London where he eventually met and married
Catherine Crump in 1867.

Shortly after their marriage the Frosts sailed for America
and made their abode in Brooklyn, N. Y. Not satisfied with
labor conditions in the East they moved West, where for
eight years, Mr. Frost worked at his carpenter trade. ' At
the end of that time they moved back to Brooklyn and it
was then that Mr. Frost's health, up to this time perfect'"
failed so that he was no longer able to continue at his trade'
His one chance for health appeared in the form of a
five-acre farm located in Kenilworth, N. J., then merely a
farming district. Mr. Frost, possessed of a dominant will
as well as a vast store of forbearance, grasped at the op-
portunity and bravely started in as a truck farmer.

Always a lover of Nature, his life in the open developed
a deep interest in flowers, and he soon became a promising
florist. Not satisfied with merely raising various kinds of
ordinary quality, he started to specialize in Pansies. The
first year was a hard one and had it not been for his general
florist business as well as his powers of endurance, the
world would not today be revelling in the wondrous beauty
of his strains.

Although he managed the florist end of his business, he
devoted most of his time to testing the germination of and
developing Pansy seed, and finally perfected the famous
Giant Winter Blooming or Early Flowering, Giant Mas-
terpiece, Kenilworth Show, Princess Upright and a score
of others whose size and exquisite coloring soon brought
him much business. For sometime he supplied seed to
the city parks of Baltimore, San Francisco, and Essex
County (N. J.), Woodlawn Cemetery, New York, and
many other parks and cemeteries in the United States and
Canada.

Mr. Frost was a man of unusual fairness and honor-
personally investigating every one of the few complaints
that came in, he made good many times over. He alone
segregated the seeds and filled every order that left his
office and personally took care of advertising, sending out
thousands of circulars each year.

When L. H. Bailey, then of Cornell University, put out
his Cyclopedia of Horticulture, Mr. Frost was chosen to
write the article on Pansies, which he did with his usual
care and knowledge of the plant. Mr. Frost had started
to write a book on Pansies, their germination, growth and
development, but was called before its completion.

He did not build massive structures or perform modern
miracles like many of which we hear and read today, but
he gave the world some of the beauty of his soul in the
forms and colors of a small, velvety dream flower called
the Pansy, which he watched and cared for until it became
the thing of perfection which it is today.

He is survived by two daughters and one son.

The Florists Exchange

Pasadena Horticultural Association

(Concluded from page 1249) .

Roy Wilcox had a fine display of palms, Japanese
Boxwood, and well-grown berried shrubs. The Box-
wood that this firm grows is superior to the variety
grown in the East. It is very distinct with its spread-
ing slender branches and light green, lustrous foliage.

A snail exterminator preparation was shown which
is supposed to put this pest out of business. I have
found that a weak solution of Bichloride of Mercury
sprayed on plants and on the soil will rid a garden
of these marauders, both those with, as well as those
without, shells. With us, these pests are on the job
every day of the year.

George Boss captured the first prize for his potted
'Mums. Julius Tuelin, gardener to H. Paepcke, tool;
the first prize for the best collection of garden flow-
ers, -outdoor grown. The Jannoch Nurseries exhibited
outdoor Roses, artistically arranged, in small glass
vases. Mrs. J. J. Mausar (C. Phaurhaur, gdr.) took
first prize for garden Roses; they were fine and cor-
rectly labeled. Sadie Thomas, one of the standbys of
all flower shows, was there with some fine 'Mums
grown in a natural manner. This method appeals
most to me. Single stemmed flowers of large size
are handsome, but give me a riot of bloom for artistic
effect.

Albert Blake, sou of the founder of the association
and agent for a famous brand of fertilizer, had a good
display of turf, showing what his product would do.
■A remarkable feature of the exhibit was a life sized
cardboard man who seemed to be endowed with the
ability to turn his attention to all spectators. It was
unique, to say the least.

Campbell's Seed Store had a display of Amaryllis
belladona minor, which added greatly to the show of
seeds and garden requisites. This species of Amaryllis
is a fine companion to belladonna major, because it
prolongs the season of this desirable class of bloom.

John Teekamp showed the largest Tulip bulbs that
have ever come under my observation. The Morris
& Snow Seed Co. exhibited the usual line of seeds
and a lot of fine Dahlias. The wife of A. F. Reichard,
a member of this firm, is a Dahlia specialist.

Philadelphia Chrysanthemum Show

The 94th Annual Flower Show of the Pennsylvania
Horticultural Society opened at the Academy of
Music Nov. 7. The first day was all we were able to
observe before going to press, but the attendance
seemed very good and the average quality of ex-
hibits ran high. ' Especially notable were two large
displays of orchids from the Widener estate. Marvels
of the florist's art and the grower's skill.

Trade exhibits were few, and mainly of a decora-
tive nature. Henry F. Michell Co. had the largest—
a square garden set with gravel walks, grass border
(Michell's Green Velvet Lawn), and a bank of hardy
Chrysanthemum plants around the four sides of the
square and in the center. Two life-size figures of
Japanese Geisha girls stood at opposite corners of tlv
garden with outstretched hand bearing the firm's card.

John Hay was in charge of a collection of 20 largo
Crotons from Henry A. Dreer, Inc. ; with its variety
of colors, the collection made a unique showing.

John Prince had an exhibit of foliage and berry
plants from Wm. K. Harris Co., including Pandanus,
Dractenas. Ferns, etc.

The F. A. Bartlett Tree Surgery Co. had a demon-
stration table with samples of their work and some
of the tools used. An interesting feature of this ex-
hibit was a series of panels upon which highly mag-
nified insect pests of colored wood were glued.

Hosea Waterer had a display of Fall bulbs and
Dutch novelties, such as Dutch wooden shoes, Dutch
tiles, etc. Harry Waterer was in charge.

Retailers Exhibits

Three retailers answered a last minute call to stage
exhibits in the balcony promenade. From the inter-
est taken in these exhibits we imagine it will much
more than pay the expense as advertising.

The London Flower Shop had a table of made-up
pieces for debutante work— nothing unusual to a flo-
rist, but an eye-opener to many of the visitors at the
show.

Pennock Bros, exhibited made-up baskets and de-
butante pieces. Something that attracted a good deal
of attention was a doll dressed as a debutante carry-
ing a bouquet about an inch wide of Violets and
Sweetheart Roses. Her skirt is made of Rose buds
and small blooms of all kinds.

Robert Crawford, Jr., exhibited a table of cut
Chrysanthemums in vases and baskets. Stock looked
well and the general effect was, of course, very much
m keeping with the idea of a Chrysanthemum show.
Trade Entries in Competition

So far as could be learned, only four competitors

in the trade staged. Two collections of Singles and
Pompons were entered by A. N. Pierson, Inc., Crom-
well. Conn., and Charles H. Totty, Madison, N. J.

Chas. H. Totty was awarded first prize and a silver
medal for his collection in class 52 and second prize
in class 51. A. N. Pierson, Inc., was awarded first
prize for new varieties in class 51 and second prize
in class 52.

Joseph Manda, W. Orange, N. J., is making an
entry with cut orchids, while A. N. Pierson, Inc., is
entering the new Rose, Commonwealth.

The Academy was decorated by Habermehl's. Foli-
age plants, evergreens and Bay trees formed the main
treatment. Japanese lanterns were hung from the
galleries and balcony.

Exhibits at the show were judged by C. U. Liggit
and J. W. Prince. Their report follows :

Edward Towill, Roslyn, Pa. — A beautiful vase of
his now famous Rose. American Legion. Wonderfully
well done.

Robert Craig Co., Norwood, Pa. — A wonderful col-
lection of blooming and foliage plants, consisting of
Ferns, Dractenas, Crotons, Palms, Pandanus, Sola-
nums. Gardenias, Ardesias. Oranges and Cyclamen-
all of which were exceptionally fine and well grown.

Florex Gardens, North Wales, Pa. — Twelve blooms
of a white Chrysanthemum Cameo. A beautiful in-
curved flower. Should prove a winner. Also one
vase of a new Rose, Citronelle. A beautiful flower.
Loug buds, lemon in color and much deeper in the
ceuter. Very fine.

W. K. Harris. — A fine collection of Christmas
plants consisting of Bird Nest Ferns, Verona Ferns,
Peperonia, Peppers, improved Solanum, Pandanus
and combination plants, all of which showed excep-
tional culture.

Massachusetts Horticultural Society's Fall Show

(Concluded, from page 1273)

borders terminated in a wide, circular bed, built up to a
height of some 10ft. with palms and foliage plants, among
which were hid tall specimens of single stem, large-flowered
Chrysanthemums in pink, white and yellow, the monster
bloom; showing off against, the green of Grevillea robust a
and many palms. Between these borders, at the far end,
was a large, circular group, reaching to a height of 12ft.
and crowned with a noble specimen of Cibotium, sur-
rounded by tall Grevilleas robusta, making a background
for the superb yellow Chrysanthemums. The base of
this and the other circular groups was encircled by large
Teddy Jr. ferns, outside of which there was a wide band
of ruddy Autumn leaves and more ferns of smaller size.
The borders themselves had an edging of the same Au-
tumn leaves and ferns, followed on the inside by a border
of low trained white Garza Chrysanthemums. The main
borders were filled with Pompons and Singles of varying
tints. About every 5ft. stood a standard 'Mum, 4ft. tall,
of the following varieties: Ramapo, Beauty of Truro,
White Mensa, Market Red, Innocencia, Mrs. Martinetti
and Chadwick Supreme. A goodly number of medium-
sized Dracaena indivisa were also used, together with
some plants of Pennisetum ruppelianurn. The grandly
conceived ensemble of these groups, with the happy con-
formation of lines and charmingly blending combina-
tion of colors, could hardly be surpassed. It was the
"piece de resistance" of the exhibition and it reflected
great honor upon the builder of the exhibit.

Not for competition, Loren D. Towle also filled the
whole of one-third of the wall space on the left hand side
with a display of flowering and foliage plants. This group
was perfectly staged and formed an imposing array of
choice and rare plants, rising to a height of many feet.
It was overtopped by Arecas, Kentias, and Cocos palms,
intermingled with big specimen Dracaenas and Acalyphas,
while the base was formed of big Adiantum Farleyense,
cuneatum and hybridum. In this group we noted a large
variety of noble plants, such as Dieffenbachia seguine
picta, Pandanus utilis and Veitchii, Aralia elegantissima,
Crotons, Maranta arundinacea, M. insignis, M. tricolor,
M . Oppenheimiana and others. Panax Balf ourii, Ceropigia
Woodii, Platycerium Willinckii and biforme, Pelhonia
pulc.hra, several Fittonias, Dieffenbachia castata, Selagi-
nella Martense and many other gems. But the great
attraction for the flower lover were the orchids which
reared their elegant blooms from among all the wealth of
foliage. We noted Odontoglossum tigrinum, Oncidium
ornithorynchum, a large variety of choice Cypripediums
and other orchids, together with Cattleya Octave Doin,
C. Labiata, C. Portia, C. Enid, C. Ballantiniana, C.
Saturn alba, C. Brenda, C. Fabia alba, S. L. C. Bletchley-
flora, Delight, Britannia alba, St. George, Serbia, Luminosa
alba, B.-C. Thorntonii, Ruby, Carmen, etc. The whole
display was edged with Verona ferns and Panicum va-
riegata.

On the opposite part of the hall Edwin S. Webster
Chestnut Hill, had a most striking entry in the class,
calling for a group of plants of not less than 200 sq.ft.
This group, which took first prize, was arranged by supt.
Peter Arnott, whose beautiful arrangements have so often
been admired in the hall. The group extended with its

middle part quite a little'into the hall and so did also'the
end portions, thereby giving pleasing outlines to the whole.
It contained many magnificent palms, Dracaenas, Pan-
danuses and Crotons as a background. Above a bed of
Adiantums and fine-leaved ferns, showed the blooms of
specimen Chrysanthemums of all types, large flowered,
as well as Pompons and Singles, all grown in to perfection.
Grand specimens of Sabals, Chamaerops and Boston ferns
helped to make the group impressive. In front was a
border of finely grown and well flowered Begonias of the
Winter flowering type. They were Optima, Emily Clibran
and Exquisite. The middle part of the group, which pro-
jected into the hall was built entirely with Emily Clibran,
also the ends of the group. In front of it were two fairly
large, circular beds, made up of the finest of all these
Begonias — Exquisite, making a wonderful show. The
whole display was handsomely edged with small ferns and
Autumn leaves.

An Interesting Group

An interesting exhibit was that of the Harvard Botanic
Garden in Cambridge. It consisted of a number of the
neat, fragrant Lantana Sellowiana, a plant with pleasing
rosy-mauve colored flowers and having the appearance of
making a worth while pot plant. Begonias scharffiana
and peltata were also handsome and interesting, on account
of their leaves. Salvia involucrata, with deep carmine
blossoms, was another good looking object.

The Competitions

The classes for Chrysanthemums showed little com-
petition, only five of them being honored with entries.
The largest exhibitor was Loren D. Towle who showed
some wonderful blooms, a number of them as good as
had ever been shown in this hall when Chrysanthemums
were in then day of glory. There can be no doubt but
that the day of the big Chrysanthemum bloom is a thing
of the past. The little Pompon and especially the graceful
sprays of the single Chrysanthemums are what the public
now has come to consider as being their favorites.

With 25 blooms, distinct, Loren D. Towle was first with
a collection of grand flowers. He showed Mrs. H. J. Jones,
Wm. Turner, Reginald Vallis, W. R. Church, Bob Pulling,
Thos. Lunt, J. Everitt, Yellow Turner, Miss Ruth Twomb-
ly, Glenview, Nagirroc, Louisa Pockett, Nerissa, Vermont
and others in grand form.

With 12 blooms, Japanese, Iristhorpe Garden, Shrews-
bury, took first with Wm. Turner, Mrs. G. Drabble, Wells'
Late Pink, Quittenton, Chrysolora, Yellow Turner, etc.
In strong competition, many of these flowers would not
have scored, but Mrs. G. Drabble and Yellow Turner
were first class. Iristhorpe Garden also took first with 12
vases of Pompons, showing in excellent form Hilda Can-
ning, New York, Marianna, White Doty, Romaine War-
ren, and others. The same exhibitor again took first for
a vase of long-stemmed blooms, pink, with Wells' Late
Pink and second for vase of ten long-stemmed blooms,
yellow, with Yellow Turner. These two exhibits included
some very creditable flowers.

Mrs. R. M. Saltonstall was second with Snow White,
for one specimen of trained Chrysanthemum, and Miss
L. W. Case, Weston, was second with ten blooms of
Oconto, for long-stemmed white. Loren D. Towle showed
one large vase of Yellow Turner and also. one large vase of
Wm. Turner, which were among the very best flowers on
the exhibition. He also had one grand vase of Louisia
Pockett.

Special Items

A. W. Preston exhibited a very large and finely-grown
specimen of Polypodiurn Mandaianum deserving of
mention.

Roses were shown by Loren D. Towle, who had one
vase each of 25 Columbia and White Killarney for which
he received first.

Cromwell Gardens showed a magnificent vase of the
new Commonwealth Rose.

In Carnations there was only one entry and this by
Loren D. Towle, who had a vase of 50 first-class Laddie,
for which he took first prize.

Ernest R. Dane, Donald McKenzie, gdr., had a grand
exhibit of orchids, covering 50sq.ft. It was shown in the
lecture hall, and was very handsomely staged with the
help of Kentias, Arecas, Dracaenas and other plants, with
a groundwork of Adiantums and Asparagus plumosa.
Mr. Dane's collection of orchids is one of great repute
and this exhibit included many rare specimens. It re-
ceived a silver medal, and a first class certificate for
Laelio-Cattleya Alex. Other specimens shown included
Cattleya Fabia Roughwoodense, B. C. Admiral Jellicoe,
B. C. Maronae, Cattleya Fabia alba, L. C. luminosa
aurea, Vanda coerulea, Oncidium ornithorynchum, Epiden-
dron vittehum, Miltonia Morelliana, several Stanhopeas,
Odontoglossums and a fine lot of Mr. Dane's celebrated
Cypripediums. Also a wonderfully fine seedling Laelio-
Cattleya, (Cinnabarina x Bowringiana).

At three o'clock of both afternoons, Charles H. Totty
of Madison, N. J., gave an interesting lecture on hardy
Chrysanthemums, illustrating it with specimen blooms
of many of the best varieties for the garden. His lecture
was greatly appreciated and he had to answer many
questions.

The Florists Exchange

1273

Tarrytown Horticultural Society Show

(Concluded from page 1247)

decorated vases of 'Mums for which a silver cup ■ was
offered. Mrs. H. M. Tilford, gdr. J. Tansy, scored well
with a fine set up of bronze blooms mixed with Oak and
other foliage. All the vases in this class ranged around
6ft, tall.

In front of the stage was a splendid group of Nephrolepis
and Cibotium ferns intermixed with palms, vases of single
'Mums, and Roses. Among the latter were Columbia,
F. Scott Key, Mine. Butterfly, and Premier. This group
was non-competitive, being staged by F. R, Pierson,
Tarrytown, who has been a life supporter of the society.

The silver medal offered for the best novelty was
awarded to Chas. H. Totty Co., Madison, N. J., for a
glorious vase of America, the greatest Rose of the season.
Commonwealth, the new Montgomery Rose, was shown
in fine form by A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn., a
certificate of merit being awarded. The flowers were
larger than we have hitherto seen of this novelty. It
certainly is a true deep pink and is a possible rival to
Premier.

The 'Mum Classes

Taking the vase classes as arranged in the schedule,
we must own that the 18 blooms of Anemone flowered
'Mums shown by E. E. Smathers, Port Chester, N. Y.,
gdr. W. W. Robertson, were truly attractive. With five
entries it was not an easy win. Practically all through
the vase and specimen bloom classes, four to six entries
were the regular thing.

With IS blooms in six varieties, long stems, Mrs. F. E.
Lewis, Ridgefield, Conn., gdr. J. W. Smith, was particu-
larly strong; indeed, this exhibition was a pretty consistent
leader with big blooms. The largest bloom in the show, a
wonderful flower of Louisa Pockett came from this grower.
The 20 bloom class, five varieties, and the 15 blooms,
three varieties, also hailed from the same source. Finer
blooms could scarcely be imagined, and particularly
notable were Vermont, pink; Louisa Pockett, white;
Wm. Turner, white; Yellow Turner; L. Davis, pink; and
Nagirroc, deep yellow.

With 12 blooms, distinct, short stems, J. Insley Blair,
Tuxedo, N. Y., gdr. D. S. Miller, scored over three other
entries; Nagirroc, Louisa Pockett and Yellow Turner were
decidedly good. S. M. Lehman, gdr. John W. Dowlen,
scored with six blooms. With 12 blooms, four varieties,
the same exhibitor held the lead, and for a small grower,
he knows the game pretty well.

The competition with Singles was particularly fierce.
With 12 vases, not disbudded, Mrs. H. M. Tilford scored;
specially good were Buckingham, Genevieve, Gloriana
and Mensa. Richard C. Colt, Garrison, N. Y., gdr. J.
Mclntyre, scored with mixed vases. S. M. Lehman
had a splendid decorative vase of singles, while Mrs.
Eugene Meyer, Jr., gdr. Chas. Luthven had the best vase
of mixed singles.

With eight vases of Pompons, Mrs. Tilford once again
held the lead, while Wm. B. Thompson scored with the
most effective basket. The competition in this class was
strong, and it was satisfactory to note that the judges did
not count size before everything else.

Samuel Untermeyer, Yonkers, gdr. C. A. Mackay,
scored over one other exhibitor with six plants single
stems. Both showed Nagirroc, which appears to be a
much favored variety these days. It is a splendid color,
comes with plenty of size and apparently is an easy doer.

Some excellent blooms on long stems were shown in the
classes calling for five of a kind. Mrs. F. E. Lewis led
with white, Wm. Turner; while Samuel Untermeyer
scored with yellow, Yellow Turner, and any other color,
Nagirroc. G. F. Baker, Tuxedo, gdr. Wm. Ellings, led
with pink, Vermont; but no one exhibited crimson. The
competition in these classes was hot.

Plant Classes

H. L. Van Praag held the lead with a bush plant, yellow7,
as did Mrs. J. 1. Straus with red.

The fern classes were well contested and E. E. Smathers
put up a remarkably fine pair of Maidenhairs. With a
collection of six plants, various, the same exhibitor scored.

The best example of Gloire de Lorraine Begonia was
shown by Wm. B. Thompson. Tarrytown show is usually
well favored with Begonias, and some splendid examples
of the large flowered Winter type were shown by Wm.
Graham and others in the class calling for a pair.

Tarrytown show, too, is noted for its splendid exhibits
of berried shrubs. J. I. D. Bristol, Chappaqua, staged
some two dozen vases, beating the fine collection of Samuel
Untermeyer. Several sorts of Euonymus, Viburnums,
Symphoricarpos, Ligustrums and Berberis, were notable;
these exhibits were worth the study of any florist who
delights to use berried subjects.

Fruit and Vegetables

These and the fruit and vegetable classes served to make
up the first day's exhibits. The fruit classes were not
strong, but the vegetable competitions were decidedly
warm. Hubert E. Rogers, Scarborough, gdr. C. L.
Fisher, won the Stumpp & Walter prize with six each of
Celery, Onions and Cauliflower. The latter were specially
good samples of Snowball.

Peter Henderson & Co.'s prize for 12 dishes, was won
by Mrs. J. I. Straus, Mt. Kisco, gdr. A. G. Williams.
A really classy little collection. H. E. Rogers captured
the Vaughan's Seed Store prize with a similar collection,
while the Wm. Hunt & Co. prize gave H. L. Van Praag,
Chappaqua, gdr. A. E. Townsend, a chance to put up a
collection in most effective style. The same exhibitor
won the $25 sweepstake in the vegetable classes.

The single dish classes were a fierce proposition for the
judges. Leeks from one party were the limit for size, but
they didn't win. The Potato class too, was a hot one,
but one couldn't help wondering how it came about that
Scotchmen of all people, dared to stage tubers unwashed.
Truly they must be getting careless.

Tables, Roses and Carnations

The second day competitions included decorated tables.
The prize was a silver cup and $25 donated by Mrs.
Stuyvesant Fish. E. P. King, gdr. E. Kane, scored
over five others with a very good arrangement of singles.
Second place went to a lady, Mrs. W. D. Blair, Tarrytown,
who has evidently studied Japanese effects. Bronzy red
Pompons on long, sweeping stems were staged with a skil-
ful touch, not everyone's fancy but outstanding. Per-
haps a trifle too heavy and too low. Mrs. J. S. Halls,
gdr. J. Watts, scored third with a rather weighty confec-
tion of yellow Pompons; the sprays for the ladies were not
such as w-ould win renown for a florist. One of the un-
placed was decidedly cheerful, with its scarlet Nastur-
tiums and Ophelia Roses; we rather fancied it should
have been in the winning three.

The Rose classes were decidedly strong; indeed, one
may say that the private growers around Tarrytown have
not much to learn from the best commercial growers.
Wm. B. Thompson scored with Premier; Mrs. F. E.
Lewis with Crusader; a mixed vase of 25 blooms; IS blooms
three varieties; (Lord & Burnham's prize) 12 Ophelia,
12 Mme. Butterfly and 12 Columbia.

Competition in the Carnation classes, too, was hot and
plenty of blooms in the markets would not bear comparison
with "the fine, long stemmed samples seen at this show.
Mrs. S. McCormick, F. P. King, Mrs. H. M. Tilford,
Richard C. Colt and Mrs. F. E. Lewis all gained a leading
place on one or more occasions. The latter staged a
specially fine vase of Maine Sunshine which was granted
a cultural certificate.

Special decorative classes included a basket, which
Mrs. W. D. Blair made sure of with a most simple, but
charming affair. It was on the same lines as her table.

Assistant gardeners were given a chance to shine with
a centerpiece, and both first and second were won by
members of Samuel Untermeyer's staff, namely, Wm.
Careary and Thos. Neville.

Mrs. H. M. Tilford had a wonderful vase of 25 Mrs.
Ward Carnations dressed up with Asparagus. It won a
silver cup. The same exhibitor led with a vase of 24 blooms
two varieties, Laddie and Ward. The Muller-Sealey
Co.'s prize for 24 Carnations mixed, went to S. M. Lehman

This report does not cover the entire schedule nor list
all the exhibitors by a long margin, but it is sufficient to
show the merits of the exhibition which was well attended,
especially on the second day. Excellent music was a
feature.

Wisconsin State Florists Association

Annual Convention and Flower Show,
Milwaukee, Nov. 2 to 5

MILWAUKEE'S most successful flower show was
held at the Public Museum in connection with
the annual convention of the Wisconsin Flo-
rists Association from Nov. 2 to Nov. 5, inclusive. The
popularity of the first show, which was held at the
same place last Spring, served to double the number
of entries at this exhibition. Credit for the large
display is due to the committee on arrangements of
the Milwaukee Florists Club. This committee was
composed of H. V. Hunkel, August Kellner, Nicholas
Zwiefel, Arthur Liederger and Carl Menger.

Fred Lemon of Richmond, Ind., exhibited his new-
est seedling Rose. It attracted widespread attention
and was universally praised. It is of a rich creamy
color and the best judges say it is bound to attract
attention throughout the whole country.

One of the rarest plants in the exhibit was a tall
Philodendron, owned by A. Laue of Fox Point, a
suburb of Milwaukee. A member of the Jack-in-the-
Pulpit family, its fruit looks like an ear of Corn. Its
flavor is likened to a combination of a Pineapple and
a Banana. Crowds of visitors were also attracted by
a huge Lemon tree, bearing fruit that weighed almost
two pounds. A Satsuma Orange tree was another od-
ject of interest.

The latest styles in decorating with flowers and
plants tables for banquets and other parties was a
feature, the snowy linen and gleaming silver being
encircled by 100 ferns from the city's conservatory
at Mitchell Park.

The women florists were probably the most enthu-
siastic of all the exhibitors. Mrs. Phineas R. Dett-

mann of 495 Wood ave., Wauwatosa, who showed
Strawflowers, ostrich and Chinese Coxcomb, keeps
house for her husband and six children in addition to
conducting her flower shop. Her husband, who is a
carpenter, built her a small greenhouse four years
ago and she began raising Asters. "Tending the flow-
ers doesn't seem like work to me," Mrs. Dettmann
said. "I love it and I am going to continue in this line.
It is fascinating, because there is always something
new that one can learn."

Mrs. p. E. Morrow of North Milwaukee believes
that if one is to achieve success as a florist, one must
begin early in life and strive constantly for develop-
ment all through. "When I was a girl I worked with
my father, helping him in his nursery business," said
Mrs. Morrow. "Now, my children are grown up and
they know very little about raising flowers. Neither
does Mr. Morrow — so the growing of flowers at our
establishment is my own party and I am very fond
of it. Anyone who does not like it should not engage
in this work. Success is gained only by those who
like to work among the beautiful gifts of Nature."

New Officers Elected

For their president, the Wisconsin florists picked
a tried and true official, their former vice-president,
James E. Taylor of Oshkosh. For vice-president
P. Obertin of Kenosha was chosen. Henry R. Welke
of Milwaukee was elected secretary and William Zim-
mermann of Milwaukee treasurer. Lewis Turner of
Kenosha and John Rindflash of Beloit were re-elected
members of the board of directors.

The constitution was amended so that the retiring
president shall serve on the board of directors for a
year in order to give the board the benefit of bis
experience as head of the organization. Under this
plan the retiring president will be in a better position
to complete any plans begun during his term, but
which could not be carried to fruition. By this ar-
rangement the retiring president, Frederick Rentsch-
ler of Madison is now a member of the board. The
term of George Vatter of Marinette has expired.

It was decided to extend the time of the Fall meet-
ing to three days and the Summer meeting to two
days. Manitowoc florists invited their brethren to
meet in the beautiful city on the bank of Lake Michi-
gan for the 192.3 Summer meeting. The invitation was
accepted with cheers.

The Floral Telegraph Delivery section adopted a
resolution urging the organization of all the florists
of Wisconsin into separate bodies in order to promote
the system of delivering flowers through the agency
of the telegraph companies.

About 200 members of the State association at-
tended a banquet at the Milwaukee Athletic Club.
A tour of the large greenhouses in the vicinity of
Milwaukee was a feature of the successful convention.

Chrysanthemum Show at Urbana, III.

The^llth Annual Chrysanthemum Show of the Uni-
versity of Illinois will be held at the Floriculture Dept.
greenhouses in Urbana, Nov. 12, 13, 14, and 15. Each Fall
this 'Mum show is looked forward to by an increasing
number of people; last year over 7000 visitors viewed the
exhibition.

The 'Mum collection at the University is large and
interesting. Probably of greatest interest to the commer-
cial man, especially the grower, is the collection of seedling
varieties which have been raised by the students in flori-
culture. In the past the Division of Floriculture has
named and sent out to the florists of the state the best of
these; in all 29 varieties have been disseminated. Among
these the following have won considerable popularity
commercially: Varsity, Bronze Queen, Chestnut, Coed,
Maple Leaf, Redbird," The Chief, Laelia, Old Gold, The
Belle, and Dazzle. Last year five varieties were sent out
under the names of Bo-peep, Kewpie, Welcome, Primrose,
and Puritan.

The show this year will include 210 named commercial
varieties in all the different types, 230 varieties of seedlings
which are still under trial, and 260 seedling plants, the
results of the student class work last year. The Caprice
group and Japanese varieties are included in the collection.
There are 1800 bench grown plants in the show and 2400
plants in 6in. pots.

A cordial invitation is extended to all members of the
trade, and it is hoped that a goodly number will attend.

Southward Ho !

Gustave Thommen's story of his trip to Florida as it
appears in the columns of "The Exchange" is so in-
teresting that I am led to remark that he should be hired
by the allied boards of trade of all the municipalities of
this country, and by all the nurserymen's associations, at
a good salary, say about $6000 a year; and then turned
loose with instructions to ramble at will, writing up his
observations for publication in all the periodicals of the
country. My opinion is that as a publicity man he
beats Irvin Cobb. Certainly, Florida never got such
a boost before. P. D. B.

The Florists Exchange

Maywood Growers
Make Good

Entertain Chicago Florists Club in
fine style, the whole community join-
ing in the welcome — Good speeches,
enjoyable entertainment, excellent exhibition,
and interesting trip to local establishments
round out Chicago florists latest, biggest day.

WELL, the Maywood meeting set another record
in the annals of trade gatherings in Chicago.
There was a wonderful response to the invita-
tion extended by the Maywood growers, the trade
representing every branch and phase of the florist
industry coming from near and far in large numbers.
Notwithstanding the fact that the day before was one
continual downpour and that the morning of Nov. 2
was gloomy from a weather viewpoint, the attendance
exceeded all anticipations. The registration books
showed more than 450 names, but the area of sight-
seeing was extensive, and the visitors came and went
at will, so it is fair to assume that scores of them
never visited the offices where the registration sheets
were kept. That there were well over 600 enthusiastic
florists present to enjoy Maywood's hospitality no
one would deny.

The meeting place was in the office of the A. F.
Amling Co. at the approach to the greenhouses in
the rear of which were the Flower Show and meeting
rooms. Ladies in the office pinned a Rose on each
visitor as a badge for the occasion and presented the
books for registration.

It was a gala day for Maywood. All the florist
establishments were spick and span, and well primed
for the visitors. Large canvas signs of welcome were
placed before the entrance of each establishment vis-
ited. The Stars and Stripes floated gaily in the breeze
from the flagstaff's or housetops of all the growers.
Besides the general registration at the main office,
there was also a registration card at each separate
establishment, where the proprietor, manager, or some
representative was on hand to greet the visitors anil
show them anything of interest in their particular
line.

The Premier Rose Gardens were first visited, autos
taking the crowds here and to the various places.
Transportation for those who did not have their own
cars was arranged by the committee. At the entrance
to the Premier Gardens small paper arrows at fre-
quent intervals showed the way through the immense
greenhouses. At the end of the line the arrows
pointed to a table containing boxes of cigars with a
sign reading, "The end of the arrows. Take a cigar
on the Lord & Burnham Co."

Next the entire party was taken in turn to each of
the 13 establishments that had joined in working out
the. event. An account of the various establishments
visited with photos of owners or managers will be
found also in this issue.

At the close of the inspection tour all repaired to
the Amling establishment as the center of attraction.
Here the greenhouses were all illuminated, so that

a mellow glow was imparted to the quivering Rose-
buds and a halo adorned those shrined figures in the
industry whose epitaphs have yet to be written.

The Exhibition

One of the large service rooms was prepared for
the exhibition. The walls were lined with cheese
cloth, all other available spaces decorated with ever-
greens and Autumn foliage, the floor was covered
with sand, and the display was laid out as a garden
scene with tables containing the smaller exhibits.

In the center space at the entrance was a tall
pedestal vase of Premier Roses surrounded by a group
of Chrysanthemum pot plants of the Caprice varieties.
The pot plants were from Ernst Oechslin and the
Roses from the A. F. Amling Co.

The center group was an immense vase of Chrysan-
themums, Golden Glory, with smaller vases of Pri-
vate Merily Hayes, Alice Day, Golden Champion.
Wm. Turner, Betsy Ross and Golden Queen inter-
mixed with several vases of Pompons. This was
trimmed with ferns and was probably the most at-
tractive exhibit in the room. It was staged by Hans
Jepson from stock in his nearby greenhouses.

A large group of flowering and decorative plants
interspersed with large vases of Chrysanthemums
tilled one complete end of the room. This was the
exhibit of A. H. Schneider of Oak Park. The hand-
some new delivery car of the Schneider establishment
made a fitting background for the exhibit.

One table extending, the entire length of the build-
ing (about 30ft. long) contained about 30 baskets of
Chrysanthemums in various forms including large
flowering Singles, large and small-flowered Pompons,
etc. This was, in fact, an exhibition in itself. It was
the exhibit of Henry Webrmann and was a credit to
his skill as a grower as well as to his splendid co-
operation in making the exhibition the success it was.

Another long table on the opposite side of the room
was filled with the smaller exhibits from local grow-
ers as well as from growers of distinction at a dis-
tance who contributed to the show.

Hugo Luedtke, Maywood, exhibited a large vase of
Gomphrena globosa, trimmed with potted plants and ferns.

Richmond Greenhouses., Richmond, Ind., exhibited a
large vase of Chrysanthemum Richmond, and smaller
vases of single and Pompon 'Mums.

The A. F. Amling Co., Maywood, exhibited a large
vase of each of the following: Roses: Premier, Mme But-
terfly, Crusader, Maiden's Blush, Columbia and White
Killarney. There was also a display of the novelty Rose,
Silver Wedding, a white foliaged -variety with Ophelia
like blooms. This was shown in vases, in corsage work, in
wreaths and other made up pieces. A few sprays of Val-

ley were used and all pieces trimmed with silver ribbon
to match. This novelty exhibit certainly made a hit
with the visitors.

W. F. Duntemann, Bensenville, 111., had a Sweet Pea
exhibit containing some fine varieties, such as Harmony,
Snowstorm, Melody, Blue Bird and Columbia. There were
also some vases of Carnation Aviator and Matchless.

Mount Greenwood Cemetery Ass'n., Morgan Park, 111.,
exhibited a vase of large seedling Chrysanthemums.

F. W. Kuhlmann, Melrose Park, 111., had on exhibition
large vases of Mme. Butterfly, Crusader and Golden Rule
Roses. In novelties he had Medina and Commonwealth,
which he is growing in limited quantities for the
originators.

Proviso Floral Co., Maywood, exhibited vases of Co-
lumbia and other Roses.

Wm. Spandekow & Sons, Maywood, exhibited samples
of Milady and Premier Roses in excellent form.

Weiss-Meyer Co., Maywood, displayed a large vase of
well grown Columbia Roses.

Premier Rose Gardens, Maywood, showed two immense
vases of Premier and Columbia Roses.

C. Hausermann Co., Melrose Park, had baskets of
Sweet Peas in the latest varieties, all well grown. In
Roses, this company exhibited a magnificent vase of Mrs.
Chas. Russell. It is the only grower in the Maywood
colony that is still handling this variety. The blooms were
perfect in every detail and a credit to the firm.

Paul Heitmann, Melrose Park, displayed baskets of
Sweet Peas, Blue Bird, Snowstorm and other leading va-
rieties, in finely developed blooms.

Peter Pearson, Chicago, showed vases of assorted Chrys-
anthemums, both Singles and Pompons.

Dramm Greenhouses, Elmhurst, exhibited Golden Rule
and American Legion Roses.

A. N. Pierson, Cromwell, Conn., sent in a splendid vase
of Commonwealth Roses that came in late in the after-
noon. It was in perfect condition, showed fine shipping
qualities and was a feature of great interest to all growers.
E. G. Hill 'Co., Richmond, Ind., exhibited in excellent
form a vase each of America, Amelia Gude and Claudius
Pernet Roses.

The Stuppy Floral Co., St. Joseph, Mo., had on display,
an attractive vase of its new Rose, Annie Laurie, that
commanded much attention.

Elmer D. Smith Co., Adrian, Mich., exhibited an ex-
tensive variety of Pompon Chrysanthemums, some of which
were in pots.

Baur & Steinkamp, Indianapolis, Ind., showed a large
vase of the new yellow early Chrysanthemum, Citronelle.
The Northwestern Pottery Co. of Chicago had an ex-
hibit of flower pots for florists, showing many sizes. Price
lists and cigars were distributed by F. W. Haeger, sales
manager.

The American Greenhouse Mfg. Co., Chicago, passed
around an attractive though somewhat obsolete souvenir.
It was a nickel plated corkscrew and bottle opener com-
bined. Inasmuch as it had imprinted thereon, "Opens the
future for you," it was no doubt intended for other pur-
poses than many might suppose.

Fred Lautenschlager of the Brunswick-Kroeschell
Co. provided a large number of boxes of chocolates for all
the ladies in attendance.

The Big Meeting and Rally

This was held in the large shipping and grading
room of the A. F. Amling establishment which was
profusely decorated for the occasion. The packing
tables had been treated to a coat of white paint and
the walls covered with Autumn foliage with the Na-
tional Colors waving from every point of vantage.
Handsome baskets of flowers decorated all the tables.

Part of the visiting florists at the Premier Rose Gardens, Maywood, 111., Nov. 2

November 11, 1922.

The Florists Exchange

1277

There was an orchestra in the evening and a pianist
during the afternoon. There was seating capacity for
over 300 people, yet, in the language of the showmen,
there was "standing room only."

Hans Jepson, chairman of the Maywood Associated
Florists, introduced A. F. Amling as chairman of the
meeting. He in turn introduced Wm. G. Heidemann,
a Maywood banker, who addressed the florists. He
said he liked the florist business and believed then?
was more money in it than there was in the banking
business knowing as he did the financial situation of
a great many of them. Although the mayor of the
village was unable to be present, other men high in
the social and financial circles of the village made
addresses of welcome.

The chairman then proceeded to give a history of
the Maywood colony of florists starting with his own
organization and taking up the other individuals in
due order as they came into the business. In those
early days the florists were their own steamfltters.
carpenters, masons, painters and glaziers — in fact,
they did all their own work. At that time they were
growing Niphetos and Bon Silene Roses. Their first
Thanksgiving crop brought them $3 per 100, the value
of the entire cut being something near $60. From this
he followed down to the present time showing the
wonderful development of the business.

He then introduced the 13 representatives of the
Maywood association giving pertinent statistics and
history of their respective business and personal ex-
perience, what they grew, whom they married, their
likes and dislikes, etc., injecting much humor into
his remarks, all of which were highly interesting and
enjoyable to the audience. Each of the members of
the association mounted the rostrum in turn to bid
the visitors welcome. In all cases the speakers were
loudly applauded.

Telegrams were read from E. C. Pruner, Oklahoma
City, who, joined by the Oklahoma State Florists
Association, sent congratulations and best wishes for
the success of the meeting.

Telegrams of regret at not being able to attend
were read from John Young, New York City, Joe Hill,
Eichmond, Ind., A. F. Ammann, Edwardsville, 111.,
and Wallace Pierson, Cromwell, Conn.

The chairman next introduced E. G. Hill, Rich-
mond, Ind., who was received with rousing applause.
He told a number of his usual funny stories after
which he paid a beautiful tribute to the Rose.

J. C. Vaughan. who was next introduced, told of the
early history of the Chicago cut flower market. Con-
signments at that time came in ordinary chip bas-
kets, the growers bringing them in themselves on
the street cars or in their wagons if any of them were
that well fixed. A few dozen short stemmed Roses,
a few Carnations, and a string of Smilax or two
would constitute a day's consignment from any
grower. He reviewed the progress of the florist busi-
ness up to the present day and said the florists need
not go into the automobile business or any other, but
that their own was good enough. The growing of
good stock, the doing business along high ideals, the
producing of the best of everything and the rendering
of the best service possible were activities that would
bring still greater success to the florist industry at
large.

At another point in the meeting Mr. Vaughan stated
that the success of the Maywood growers was due
more to Mr. E. G. Hill than to any one else, for he
had furnished them with the improved varieties of
Roses they were growing. He wanted to hand him
this compliment now and not wait until he was
buried. This remark aroused great applause.

John Michelson of the E. C. Amling Co. spoke
along lines of advertising and the pushing of the
sale of flowers. He urged growers to produce the
best stock only as it brought them the most money.

Miss M. C. Gunterberg, president of the Ladies
Society of the S. A. F., was the only lady speaker.
She made a splendid address and noted that in the
chairman's history of the success of the Maywood
florists there was always "a woman in the case."
She adroitly stated that as women were generally
accused of doing all the talking this was an occasion
where she for one would let the men do it.

Walter A. Amling, Pana, 111., told many funny
stories. He gave a glowing description of the
"knocker" and the "booster;" he told of how Pana
was called the "City of Roses" and how the manu-
facturers there were making brands of soap and
■cigars all branded "From the City of Roses." He
also invited all to attend the St. Louis Flower Show
as well as pay a visit to Pana on their way there or
back.

Another agreeable feature of the meeting was wh?n
the chairman called on August Poehlmann as the
proprietor of five million feet of glass. Mr. Poenl-
mann ascended in a most graceful manner and invited
*he Chicago Florists Club and all its friends to hold
"their next regular meeting on Dec. 7 at his establish-

ment at Morton Grove. This invitation was received
with tremendous applause.

Other speakers were Peter Bohlander, Melrose
Park, Phil J. Foley, and H. N. Bruns. Peter Pearson
spoke for the Commercial Flower Growers of Chicago,
telling of the organization's work in advertising and
explaining that while the florist business has made
great strides in past years it was as yet only in its
infancy.

Eddie Hunt of the Chicago Flower Growers Asso-
ciation then favored the gathering with a couple of
well rendered popular songs.

Hans Jepson said the Chicago Florists Club was
far from being dead, that there was a new era on the
way, and that there would be bigger and better meet-
ings in the future. New life and vigor were being
imparted to it by these meetings, he said, urging all
to look out for the big meetings in the near future.

Music and singing were introduced at all available
intervals. Good cheer was rampant everywhere. Re-
freshments were served unsparingly, the Maywood
"bunch" proving excellent hosts. Their hospitality
met with the unlimited praise of the visitors. The
meeting was one that will long be remembered by ail
who were there. To those who were not it is their
loss, if not well nigh a calamity.

The Club Meeting

Immediately after the close of the open meeting
President Kohout called the meeting of the Florists
Club to order. Although the hour was late there was
a good attendance showing the increased interest the
members were taking in all matters of interest to the
club. There was over 100 who waited for the meeting.

tions for membership were in order and the follow-

Florists Club meeting at Poehlmann's greenhouses in
Morton Grove, Dec. 9, and this invitation was ac-
cepted with great pleasure on behalf of the trade.

Joseph Kohout called attention to the Chrysanthe-
mum meeting at St. Louis. The Sports Committee had
no report. The Committee on By-laws reported prog-
ress, and pledged to have a complete report ready
at the December meeting.

The Uptown Flower Show Committee (Robt. Wind-
ier, chairman) of the Chicago Florists Club Com-
mittee, reported the exhibit a good one, and the com-
mittee was discharged with special thanks.

Under the heading of new business, President

Treasurer Schneider submitted a report covering
the finances of the organization.

E. G. Hill addressed the meeting and urged that
every Rose grower should become a member of the
American Rose Society.

Peter Pearson made a motion that the Chicago Flo-
rists Club extend a rising vote of thanks to the Mav-
wood florists for the reception tendered all visitors,
and Hans Jepson, chairman of the Maywood Asso-
ciated Growers, immediately responded with a nice
speech on behalf of the Maywood growers, and ex-
pressed his appreciation at the gathering of the trade
on this occasion. He stated that the Maywood grow-
ers looked forward to another visit in the near future.

Walter Amling, president of the National Flower
Growers of the St. Louis District, called attention to
the 'Mum show in St. Louis. Mr. Jepson called at-
tention to the flower show in Minneapolis, and urged
growers to make an exhibit.

Under the heading "Good of the Club," President
Kohout called particular attention to the club's ac-
tivities in connection with flower shows, and pointed
out very emphatically that the Chicago Florists Club
should promote a show in the near future. F. Lauten-
schlager mentioned that this is the time for Chicago
florists to make preparations for a Spring show.
Peter Pearson and Hans Jepson, Walter Amling, and
several others stated that it is the right time to com-
mence operations of this sort. Walter Amling made
a motion that a committee be appointed immediately
to investigate the feasibility of holding a show; this
committee to report at the next meeting. President
Kohout appointed the following committee: Herman
Schiller, chairman ; Peter Pearson, F. Lautenschlager.

There being no further business the motion pre-
vailed to adjourn.

Home with "Honey." — She left her hubby alone in their
room, at the hotel while she did some shopping. She returned
The many doors and numbers confused her. But she soon
decided which was her room. She knocked and called: "I'm
back, honey — let me in!" No answer. "Honey, honey — let me

in!" she called again, knocking harder. "Honey, it's me

please, honey!" Brief silence, then a man's voice, cold and
full of dignity, came from the other side of the door: Madam,
this is not a beehive; it's a bathroom." — Capper's Weekly.

composed of Carl and Erni

Matwood, III., is a noted center for the growing of cut flowers for the Chicago wholesale market, espe-
cially Roses, although Sweet Peas are rapidly coming into favor there. It was here that the first "Winter
Flowering Sweet Peas were produced that were ever sold in Chicago. The villages of Maywood and Mel-
rose Park are so closely connected it would be difficult for a stranger to tell at times which of the villages .
he was in. Maywood is 12 miles from Chicago and good roads lead to it from all directions. It is also
reached by the Chicago and Northwestern Railway, The Aurora and Elgin electric, and the Oak Park elevated
as well as the Lake st. surface cars. There are 13 growers in Maywood and Melrose Park combined and.
with the exception of three, all of them are within a few hundred yards of each other.

It is estimated that 1,460,000 sq. ft. of glass is operated by these men, including the newest and most
uptodate equipment. The growers here burned, last season, 25,270 tons of coal. About 200 men are employed,
the most skillful that can be found. It is estimated that Maywood growers cut 12,500,000 Roses annually
of the newest and best varieties. The Sweet Pea growers cut 10,250,000 each season. Chrysanthemum grow-
ers will cut, this season, 225,000 blooms. The following are the growers :

Henry Meyer

The Weiss-Meyer Co.

THE WEISS-MEYER CO., Maywood, III.

The Weiss-Meyer Co. operate 200,000ft. of glass,
all of which is devoted to Rose growing. Paul Weiss
and Henry Meyer are the proprietors. They grow

Premier extensively as
well as Columbia, and
Mine. Butterfly, in les-
ser quantities. In the
novelties like Common-
wealth, Medina and
others, besides a new
variety of the com-
pany's own origination,
there is an interesting
lot grown for compari-
son or rather try out.
One of the most inter-
esting houses is the
new one erected about
two years ago by the
Lord & Burnham Co.
It stands out by itself
and is a model of com-
pleteness, both from
the outside as well us
from withiu. This is
70ft.x400ft., and con-
tains 15,000 Premier Rose plants that will be just
right for the holiday trade. These plants will produce
from eight to ten blooms each at some time between
Dec. 15 and Jan. 1. For uniformity of plant growth,
vigor, and healthfulness, one would have to travel a
long way to see the equal of this house. Henry Meyer
is a practical grower and has been in the florist busi-
ness the greater part of his life and is still a young
man with a successful future ahead of him.

PREMIER ROSE GARDENS

The Premier Rose Gardens at Maywood were estab-
lished three years ago and consist of 300,000 sq. ft.
of glass. The houses are each 70ft.x400ft. with an
open space of 17ft. be-
tween all the houses;
this prevents one house
from shading another
as well as being more
convenient for repair
purposes. One long con-
nection house runs
through the center of
all the houses from the
service buildings to the
outside of the last
house. This is equipped
with a track on which
small trucks can be run
to carry out the Roses
or bring in soil, fertili-
zer, or other material
for use in the green-
houses. The houses are
of the Lord & Burnham
construction and are
up to date in every de-
tail. In these houses are grown 100,000 Premier Roses
and, so careful is the cultivation of these, that the
cut from this range ranks among the first on the Chi-
cago wholesale market. Andrew Benson is the su-
perintendent and has been so successful from the be-
ginning that the returns to the stockholders are highly
gratifying. These greenhouses stand practically by
themselves in the center of a 20-acre tract of virgin
soil, all of which belongs to the company. The houses
are equipped with high pressure steam boilers
equipped with the Dayton automatic stokers.

Hug-o Iiuedtke

HUGO LUEDTKE, Maywood, 111.

Hugo Luedtke is one of the oldest established grow-
ers in Maywood, starting independently about 27
years ago, just about two years after the Amling Bros

started

what has since
grown to be the great
industry of the village.
Mr. Luedtke has ripe
experience in the grow-
ing of all kinds of
plants but, for several
years, has been making
a specialty of a few
things. Specialists as a
rule always do things
better than those who
try to do many things
without giving each
subject just the exact
treatment needed. For
this reason, Mr. Luedtke
has been producing a
strain of yellow Snap-
dragon which is always
in demand, no matter
what market conditions
may be. Another crop
is Globe Amaranth, Oomphrena glohosa. These are
grown on the greenhouse benches from seed sown m
early Spring, transplanted in flats and then planted
on the benches about five inches apart as soon as
Spring stock is out of the way. The few remaining
benches were a splendid sight, being a complete mass
of bright rosy purple. These have been a feature of
the wholesale market for some time. They are sold
as Everlasting Clover and when dried will hold their
color indefinitely. Another specialty at this estab-
lishment is Statice Suworowii (Russian Statice). He
operates about 7000 sq. ft. of glass. Several large
plants of the Ponderosa Lemon ornament one of the
houses, they being full of large, ripening fruit.

A. F. AMLING CO., Maywood, 111.

The Albert F. Amling Co. is successors to Amling
Bros., who were the pioneer florists of Maywood,
starting there about 30 years ago and from a small
beginning, having built
up the present large in-
dustry. Albert F. is
still the active head of
the organization and
has associated with
him in the business his
son Otto H. and Wil-
liam Collatz. E. C.
Amling, one of the
founders of the indus-
try, several years ago
withdrew from the
greenhouse industry
and entered the whole-
sale cut flower business
in Chicago, where he
has built up the largest
exclusive wholesale cut
flower line in the coun-
try. More recently he
entered the wholesale
cut flower business in
California with head-
quarters in Los Angeles.
The company operate
600.000 sq. ft. of glass
and grow Roses exclu-
sively in all the leading
varieties.

C. HAUSERMANN CO.

This establishment is
Hausermann and their father Carl Hausermam
Sr. They have been in business as growers for ttj
Chicago wholesale market for the past 15 year I
They operate 75,000 sq. ft. of glass and grow bot 1
Roses and Sweet Peas. In Roses, Premier, Russel
and Cecile Brunner are grown. In Sweet Peas the|
have been quite successful, their stock being alwaj i
in demand on the wholesale market. A new garag||
has lately been added to the establishment which is \
model of perfection, and convenience.

KUHLMANN & WEICK CO., Melrose Park, 111.

This is another new company and while not ii
Maywood is in the neighboring village of Melroi
Park. The Melrose Park growers were cooperatm
with the Maywood
growers for the big
celebration Nov. 2.

The Kuhlmann &
Weick Co. was organ-
ized about one year
ago, Edwin F. Kuhl-
mann and Arnold J.
Weick, being partners.
They are successors to
Robt. Hardies, former

Henry Wehrmann

HENRY WEHRMANN

Henry Wehrmann, May-wood, 111., has the distinc-
tion of being the first grower of Winter Flowering
Sweet Peas for the Chicago wholesale cut flower

market. These were
produced in the Winter
of 1SS9, when he started
with two small houses
of them. Since that
time he has gone more
extensively into their
cultivation each year
until he is one of the
largest Sweet Pea grow-
ers in this section.
Growers of Sweet Peas
find Chrysanthemums
an excellent companion
crop as the Peas can be
grown in pots during
the late Summer months
and Fall and be ready
to take the place of the
'Mums as soon as their
season is over. Besides
Sweet Peas Mr. Wehr-
mann is a large grower
of Chrysanthemums, and is partial to the Pompon
varieties, of which he is growing about 100 of the
leading varieties as well as 15 of the best commercial
large flowering varieties. He operates about 50,000
sq. ft. of ground space covered with modern and
uptodate greenhouses. He is an enthusiastic florist
as well as an expert in his line of specialties that
attest well for the success he has achieved.

WILLIAM SPAND1KOW & SONS

William Spandikow is one of the most successful
growers of Eoses for the Chicago wholesale market
He has been a grower at various places about the
city for the past 25
years. The firm of
Spandikow & Sons is,
however, a new one.
About one year ago the
elder Spandikow and
his two sons combined
their savings and pur-
chased from Martin
Aniling the establish-
ment he and his brother
Walter had been con-
ducting for some years.
The establishment con-
sists of 35,000 sq. ft. of
glass and is devoted ex-
clusively to cultivation
of Premier and Milady :
Butterfly and Columbia
were formerly grown
on this establishment
but Mr. Spandikow dis-
carded them for what

HANS JEPSON

Hans Jepson, Maywood, 111., operates about 35,000
sq. ft. of glass, making a specialty of Chrysanthe-
mums. In this he has been quite successful since he

started at Maywood,
four years ago. He
grows 90 standard va-
rieties in the large
flowering sorts. In
these are many of the
American, English and
Australian novelties of
recent introduction. In
Pompons he also excels
and has 40 of the lead-
ing varieties. He spe-
cializes in rooted cut-
tings of these for early
Spring- and Summer
trade, some of his stock
plants remaining on
the benches until the
propagating season is
over. Sweet Peas are
also well grown at the
Jepson greenhouses.
These are all in pots in
the coldframes and ready for planting on the benches
as soon as the early flowering Chrysanthemums are
cut He is at present cutting from two large benches
of Golden Glory, a new yellow recently introduced
by Baur & Steinkamp of Indianapolis. One of his
large houses is equipped with the Skinner system fo'-
overhead watering.

he states are better va-
rieties.

Mr. Spandikow
started as a grower
with Elmer Siegwalt at
Niles Center about 25
years ago, later chang-
ing to Stielow Bros.,
where he was grower
for nearly seven years.
From there he went to
the Poehlmann Bros.
Co. at Morton Grove,
where he was a success-
ful grower for several
years. About four years
ago Frank Schramm of
Crystal Lake induced
Mr. Spandikow to go in
with him. He remained
at Crystal Lake about
three and one-half years
until he joined Paul
SVeiss in establishing the Weiss-Spandikow green-
1 louses a successful stock company. About one year
igo when the Martin Amling property was placed on
;he market, he sold his stock in the Weiss-Spandikow
2o. at a good profit and took his two sons, William S.,
fr.. and Elmer S. into partnership and started an
ndependent corporation of his own. His sons are
'oung men of education and taste and, like their
ather, are enthusiasts in Rose growing. There is a
arge coal pile, approximately 400 tons, and several
kres of fine soil. The Roses are coming into crop ;
Kaeh week will see a big increase in the cut until the
igh mark of the season's supply is reached during
he holidays.

F. W. KUHLMANN, Melrose Park, 111.

F. W. Kuhlmann. like many of the present day
growers at Maywood. has succeeded to the ownership
on another of the Amling greenhouse establishments,
-t or the past two years he has been operating an upto-
date range of glass,
that was formerly the
property of E. C.
Amling. Unlike the
other Maywood
growers, he is a new-
comer into the flo-
rist business. He
was a farmer at one
time and more re-
cently an enterpris-
ing merchant in the
village of Maywood.
Having an eye for
the beautiful in art
as well as Nature,
when the opportu-
nity offered, he went
into Rose growing.
His son is in the
business with him
and has already
made a mark as a

successful grower. The Kuhlmann place consists of
40,000 sq. ft. of glass and is given over exclusively
to Roses. Columbia. Crusader, and Mme. Butterfly
are grown. Although a comparative newcomer into
the trade, F. W. Kuhlmann is an enthusiastic florist
and an agreeable gentleman to meet.

PROVOST FLORAL CO., Maywood, 111.

This company has been in existence about two

years, although the
greenhouses were
erected and the busi-
ness established sev-
eral years previously
by Herbert Amling.
The latter moving to
Pana, 111., trans-
ferred the business
and property to his
cousin, Otto H. Am-
ling, who took Fred
Steinhebel in as a
partner, and estab-
lished an indepen-
dent company. They
operate about 70,000
sq. ft. of glass, there
being two separate
establishments con-
trolled by the com-
pany. Premier and
Columbia Roses are
grown, and like all
the other Maywood
growers are produc-
ers of excellent stock.

WM. WICHTENDAHL, Maywood, 111.

William Wichtendahl, ranks among one of the old-
est established florists in Maywood. He has been in

business there for the
past 18 years. The Am-
ling Bros, first started
the business at May-
wood followed by Hugo
Luedtke, then Henry
Wehrmann, and next
Wm. Wichtendahl. Ac-
cording to this chron-
ology he is the fourth
in point of priority
among the growers
there. His establish-
ment consists of 25,000
sq. ft. of glass; Roses,
Carnations and Stevia
are grown. Like all the
growers in his section,
he is making a success.
He has an uptodate
place and produces
good stock. Being an
optimist he is entirely
satisfied with conditions as he finds them.

PAUL C. HEITMANN, Melrose Park, HI.

The establishment of Paul Heitmann is full of in-
terest to cut flower growers. It is an establishment
where Sweet Peas are exclusively grown in specially
constructed houses. Paul is such an excellent host
that it is a truly interesting place to visit. The estab-
Hshment consists of 13,500 sq. ft. of glass and has
been m operation four years. The greenhouses are
by the American Greenhouse Mfg. Co. and are ideal
for the line of stock grown.

All Sweet Pea growers have been more or less trou-
bled with red spider, due to the fact that to get the
largest production of blooms, plants have to be kept
on the dry side. A new trouble has arisen here and
as it has caused some slight damage, fear is expressed
it might become a troublesome pest. It is a flv described
as about the same size and shape as the ordinary
green fly so common in greenhouses but of a red
color and lives exclusively in the soil and eats the
roots to such an extent that the vines dry up and die
Samples of this insect were sent to the department
of floriculture, University of Illinois, wiiere it was
identified as the Oak louse. So far it has not made
much headway and great precautions are being taken
to check its further advancement.

PAUL E. WEISS

Chicago has leaders in many lines of industry from

a merchant prince to railroad magnates, coal barons,

and others who have attained prominence in their

various and particular

lines. There are many

large establishments

arouud Chicago which

grow Roses well and

extensively but in near-
ly all cases they are

either individuals or

corporate bodies. In

Paul Weiss we have a

gentleman who rules

the destinies of several

successful corporations

where commercial Rose

growing is as well car-
ried on as at any other

place in the country.

We might, therefore,

with impunity call him

the Rose King, but he

is too young to be

crowned, as yet being

only 33 years of age,
and for the time being

we will call him simply
the Heir Apparent.

Paul E. Weiss came to Chicago from Milwaukee,
Wis., his native city, 10 years ago, and soon became
interested in the florist industry. He is at the present
time general manager of the Premier Rose Gardens,
Maywood, 111., the Weiss-Meyer Co., also of May-
wood, the Batavia Greenhouses, Batavia, 111., and
the Richmond Greenhouses, Richmond, Ind. He
maintains an oflice in the village of Maywood where
all the business of the companies he manages so well
is taken care of. He is also interested in real estate,
owning several valuable tracts and building sites,
and having recently purchased a beautiful home site
one one of Maywood's fashionable thoroughfares, on
which he will erect the coming Spring a handsome-
modern residence with gardens and conservatory.

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

The Yellow Aster

Reference was recently made to a small
flowered Michaelmas Daisy which gained
an A. M. in London. This same variety,
shown by Amos Perry as A. hybridus
luteus was included in the collection at
the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, but al-
though past its best when I saw it, I con-
cluded it was no better than or no differ
ent to A. linosyris which also is known
as Chrysocoma linosyris. Presumably this
species is native to U. S. for it is closely
allied to the Solidagos or Goldenrods, all
of which are native. It is years since I
saw A. linosyris for a certainty, but the
plant at Brooklyn certainly merited the
remark of Mr. Free that it had a long
way to go before it became anything com-
parable to other types.

A note and illustration in the London
Gardeners Chronicle tends to lead me to
believe that the Brooklyn plant had either
gone back or was the ordinary A. linosy-
ris, for the picture shows a densely flow-
ered little Daisy whereas the Brooklyn
plant had flowers practically without
petals bringing it close to the Golden Rod
But apart from this, the Chronicle sees
fat to discard the name A. hybridus luteus
under which it was shown and given an
award, and declare it to be Solidago mis-
sounensis, further adding that it will be
eagerly sought after by those who desire
bright flowers in the garden in July and
August. Both Johnson and Gray quote

a Slss£aT1JensiS; but Bailey ignores it.
As the Golden Bods and Asters are much
esteemed m England, it is probable this
plant will find favor. In the meantime
where has b. rmssouriensis been all these
years and how came Perry to assume it
was a hybrid of A. linosyris?

Helianthus Monarch

Several times this Fall I have read of
a superb new Helianthus being shown in
.London. The latest is that, according to
one well-known plantsman, this novelty

is none other than H. spareifolius, masque-
rading under a fancy name.

If such is the case, it goes to show how
plants may be forgotten and resurrected
again. Ten or 12 years ago, Helianthus
spareifolius caused not a little talk
through its being shown in magnificent
form by a nurseryman, whose soil ap-
parently suited it. I went and had a
look at it growing, and, truly, it was great.
It was not by any means new to com-
merce; it came into this particular grow-
er's hands by way of a German consign-
ment. Its huge stems and rapidly spread-
ing roots, however, rendered it only, suit-
able for wide borders. Seemingly after
this meteoric reappearance, it faded out
again, and has remained quiescent until
this year, when it bobs up under a new
name.

Oddly enough, Bailey quotes H. sparei-
folius as inferior to H. rigidus, giving its
nativity as Virginia, Ohio and Florida,
and as being suitable for dry, shady
places. I can only conclude that some-
one has "balled" up the whole business
at some time. Bailey says H. sparci^
fohus grows 2ft to 5ft. and has flowers
2m. across. The form I saw years ago,
and which presumably is the same as
Monarch, grew 6ft. to 8ft on heavy clay
soil, and bore long stemmed, purple cen-
tered flowers, about Sin. across.

Dwarfed Fruit Trees

A Geneva, N. Y., leaflet states that the
dwarf fruit tree has no place in commer-
cial orchards, according to experiments
made there. It all depends upon what
is classed as a dwarf tree. Some of the
samples I have seen certainly would not
be profitable, even in an amateur's gar-
den for dwarfness in trees does not mean
stunted growth. Generally speaking, the
dwarf Apple on the paradise stock and
the Pear on the Quince are not often
mentioned in catalogs on this side of the
water, possibly not at all, for propagators
are not inclined to provide this kind of
information, possibly because the general
run of buyers do not demand it. In
Europe people are more apt to specify
the class of stock they want, not that
they always get it. In fact, since the
Mailing, England, trials have been run-
ning, much has been learned about stocks
and propagators are now on the road
toward getting stocks that do not vary

Well grown dwarf trees are often
planted in England between standards in
new orchards, the idea being that the
dwarfs pay the working costs while the
standards are building up a framework.
The Geneva experimenters indicate that
dwarf Apples bear slightly earlier than
standards. A lot earlier, I should say. An
Apple on a free or Crab stock, given the
right position, will not worry about fruit
for years and the real grower if he wants
good trees, will not try to make them. The
dwarf tree even on rich ground, if well
handled, will get into fruit bearing inside
four years from the time of budding or
grafting. As to the size of a dwarf tree
it is only a question of management
which decides size. I have had Apples
at 5ft. apart standing for eight or nine
years and fruiting heavily one year after
planting, their age at planting time being
three years. On the other hand, I have
seen Apples on the same sort of stock
(paradise) in ten years develop heads
12ft. through and being on a stem about
12in. to 15in., the fruit could almost all
be gathered without ladders. As to qual-
ity, it is probably a fact that fruit on
dwarfs is finer all ways.

At Geneva it would seem dwarf trees
lack hardiness, sucker badly and are
easily uprooted by wind. I might say that
I never saw an Apple stock that wouldn't
sucker if allowed to: for the small gar-
den I would always advocate dwarfs and
cordons, too.

Youth as Advertising Target

Printers' Ink recently contained a tell-
ing article by Ray Giles on the importance
of focussing advertising on youth rather
than the elders. The writer made out a
great case, as it applies to autos, wear-
ing apparel, household goods, music, etc.,
etc.

I wonder how the theory would work
out for" the florist and nurseryman. The
uptodate florist doubtless does appeal
more to the younger people and maybe
he , gets better returns from the masses
under 30 than those over that age. When
it comes to the encouragement of garden
planting, it's an open question whether
youth would respond to the beguilements
of the nurseryman in preference to the
clothing and auto maker's blandishments.
Generally speaking, the people who are

early attracted to plants and gardens to
the exclusion of most other frivolities, are
few; they are almost freaks. I am one
and while I have now been at it for 30
years or so and have met many people,
perhaps equally as crazy, in the main,
these only took to the garden hobby after
marriage. Of course, there are lots of
men who started gardening as boys, but
doubtless many simply took it up for
reasons other than mere liking. Now,
with schools teaching gardening, it's pos-
sible that there are lots of young people
who would buy Roses, and other things
for mother's garden if they were sought
after by advertisers.

Two Puzzles

A small Rose circular reaches me from
away out West. It depicts a bloom of
T. F. Crozier, and in brackets these words
follow: "One of Dickson's new hypostasis."
I've tried to figure out what it means,
but can only conclude that the printer
took the "copy" over the phone and made
hybrid Tea Roses into hypostasis. An-
other item that meets my eye from time
to time is a huge billboard, jutting on
the railroad and a main highway in New
Jersey.

All' the board carries is a pictorial
representation of a can of "Daisee Coffee,"
and the words in huge letters: "Male •
Beans Only." The only conclusion I can
come to in this case is that it is wholly
"swank." Sex in Beans ! What next ?

Another Question

Recently, several questions as to the
F. H. B. rulings relating to imported
plants for stock purposes were pro-
pounded. As stated, a grower may sell
all the stock of a bulb or a plant he
propagates, as fast as he gets it, so long
as he keeps the original. Even if the
latter dies, it must be kept so that the
inspector may see it when he goes the
rounds.

This is easy enough with plants such
as orchids, Roses, etc., but when it comes
to bulbs, how about it? Take so-called
mother bulbs of Daffodils or other such
bulbs which divide themselves. Can any-
one always say which is the original?
Or bulbs and corms such as the Tulip,
Crocus or Gladiolus. The original bulb,
after flowering, more or less disappears;
it is of no further use in any case.

November 4. — Conditions during the
past week have been generally favorable;
there has been an increase in the demand
for flowers; pot plants of Cyclamen,
Primroses, Begonias and Christmas Cher-
ries are in good supply. Outdoor plant-
ing is in full swing, starting some three
weeks later than usual owing to the late
frost. The ground has only been put into
condition by rain during the past two or
three days. Usually by mid-November,
planting stops, owing to the freezeup, so
naturally every one is pushing work for-
ward, hoping to get all planting done be-
fore frost sets in.

The Holland bulb shipments have been
exceedingly unsatisfactory owing to heat-
ing in transit. Merriam Park Floral Co.
lost a whole carload and reports generally
throughout the Twin Cities and sur-
rounding country are the same. It will
be impossible to replace the stock owing
to the lateness of the season and scarce-
ness of good stock in the country. While
this is to be regretted there is some con-

solation that bulb stock will be at a
premium, and prices will not toboggan as
they did last year when in many instances
the price was less than the cost of bulbs.
There is still time for the wideawake
florist to run a catch crop such as Calen-
dulas or annual Delphinium, that should
be remunerative.

Chrysanthemums are plentiful in all
grades.

The Lake City Greenhouses are ship-
ping extra grade stock in Chrysolora and
Tiger.

The Rose crop is in full swing but
prices are only fair.

The coal situation is still critical chief-
ly through lack of cars; soft coal is at
present from $10 to $12 per ton.

Wholesale cut flowers prices are as fol-
lows: Roses, preferred varieties, $6 to $20;
shorts, $3 to $8. Carnations, $3 to $5;

A Thought for Armistiee Day
and Others Like It

'■;=

FORGETMENOT DAY, celebrated last week in
New Tork City, is the latest product of those
energetic and fertile minded souls who are striv-
ing to better the condition of disabled veterans of the
World War. On that day the urgent request to "give
a thought to the wounded heroes" was emphasized
by the sale throughout the fashionable sections of
the city of artificial Forgetmenots made by the vet-
erans themselves.

At first thought this might look like another tres-
pass upon the premises of the florist. Actually, it
probably had no effect one way or the other, as the
small donations given in exchange for the little sou-
venirs would hardly have been spent for flowers in
any case. This, by the way, brings to mind a funda-
mental difference between real and artificial flowers,
even when designed for an identical purpose, such
as the celebration of Armistice Day.

The purchase of an ar-
tificial flower, whether
Poppy, Carnation or
something else, is always
merely a form of chari-
table gift. The souvenir
has no intrinsic value,
often not even the ele-
ment of beauty, and is
never bought as a gift
but merely to "help the
good work along."

Real flowers, however,
even in the simplest
form, are desirable in
themselves. To the sat-
isfaction associated with
whatever charitable mo-

I tive there is in buying
them is added the reali-

| zatiou that they are en-

| joyable to possess and
carriers of real pleasure
to whomsoever they are
given.

In other words, a per-
son may buy an artificial
bloom from a sense of
duty ; but a purchase of
real flowers, for what-
ever the reason or pur-
pose, is also a pleasure
and a privilege. Herein
is contained a truth
which the enterprising
retailer can well incor-
porate in his local pub-
licity upon the occasion
of any one of the new,
sentimental "flower re-
membrance days" of

which there have been so many proposed, if not al-
ways adopted, since Armistice Day in 191S.

equally true that the feeling exists — in her and, it
may be, in others.

Just as an antidote to such impressions, then, it is
worth while to occasionally restate to the public, in
the most elementary, fundamental terms, the true,
complete, inspiring and manysided sentiment of the
suggestion. Sometimes, you know, we become so
well acquainted with an idea, so thoroughly imbued
with it, that we lose sight of the fact that other
folks — thousands of them, perhaps — know of it, if at
all. only in the most fragmentary way. Sometimes
the current impression may be actually misleading
and therefore detrimental to the proposition the idej
is supposed to benefit.

All the time new groups, new generations of pro-
spective flower buyers are coming onto the stage of
daily affairs. It is for them no less than for the
oldtime. well-informed steady customers, that you

tisers Reaching Your Real Audience •

must prepare your advertising messages; consequent-
ly those messages in language and argument must be
simple, direct, explanatory.

The trouble with much of the advertising done
today, like much writing and teaching, is that it is
over the heads of those for whom it is planned.

How many retail florists make a systematic, sus-
tained effort to find out how the general public view
I their business and its activities? Not merely by in-
terrogating regular customers, but also by picking up
comments and opinions from the world outside the
florist shop. There is a lot to be learned about "what
people are thinking" in the course of ordinary social
contact — at home, in the movies, at church, when
traveling, etc. And many of the ideas thus gleaned
'■ can often be utilized to considerable advantage
through publicity or other means to strengthen the
prestige of the trade in general, and to stimulate
increased business in particular.

For example, the writer knows of one individual,
a true lover of flowers who, however, for no specific
reason, has come to associate the phrase, "Say it with
Flowers," solely with funeral work and related, neces-
sarily, with mournful thoughts. Whenever she comes
across the slogan, therefore, she is involuntarily an-
tagonized or, rather, the real spirit of the message
ails to make any impression. It is quite true that
here is no real reason for this interpretation — al-
though it may bark back to the circumstances under
vliich she first saw or heard the slogan. But it is

Imitation Rather Than Questionable Flattery

By LESTER G. HERBERT

cent most reputable and even delightful publication
carried an article by a well-known and popular writer,
bearing the caption, "Say it with Bricks" and the
answers to the arguments contained therein were
made by a popular masculine author who urged the
advice to "Say it with Oil."

Of course, we are interested and entertained, and
not a little bit flattered by all of this imitation. Yet
in our own reflective and serious moods, we are in-
clined to question just where this is all leading us
and whether or not our valuable and prized trade
slogan will lose part of its effectiveness by this adap-
tation and treatment, or whether its very repetition
in different forms will serve to deepen the impression
of the original or not.

The answer to this must, of necessity, be purely
speculative. It is true that when the average indi-
vidual reads the comment, "Say it with This, That or
tlie Other," that in the back of his mind the original
motto. "Say it with Flowers" crops up. But whether
this will continue to be so or not is a question. If
people go on making free use of the words, "Say it"
with whatever they happen to have to sell, we cannot
tell where the mental confusion will lead.

Of course, the practical side of this brings us to the
consideration of the question — What are we going to
do about it? It is rather impractical to restrict the
entire public from the use of the "Say it with" idea,

but it is entirely possible
for florists as individuals
everywhere, and as local
organizations and
through their greater
trade associations to em-
phasize even more than
ever, this splendid slo-
gan, so that on every
hand and practically
everywhere the "Say it
with Flowers" version
will be in evidence.

And it is entirely logi-
cal that if a large
amount of added public-
ity is given from now on
to the florist slogan that
the partial imitations iu-
dulged in by others will
actually add to the wide
popularity so desirable
for those who have love-
ly blossoms and beauti-
ful growing thingsf or sale.
There are times when
we can cooperate better
than we can antagonize
and in the end our
strength becomes "as the
strength of ten."

So let us not feel that
our thunder has been
stolen or that we are be-
ing deprived of our le-
gitimate spoils. Rather
let us go our way still
pressing the advantage
of our battle cry and if
we do this, the noise that
the other folks are mak-
ing will blend in with ours and help the anvil chorus
to reach farther and higher. So let's keep up the
good work. Keep on advertising, only more so, by
continually offering those choice and lovely and fra-
grant beauties, which no one else is prepared to fur-
nish in quantity, and in the perfection of Nature's
artistry — no one but the florist.

When it conies to a wedding, or a banquet, or a
brilliant social function, or the laying away of a be-
loved friend, or the expression of tender sentiment
at any time — it can only be said with flowers — lovely
mysterious blooms. They speak the message which a
Divine Creator found too subtle for words !

We are repeatedly assured by those who are in-
clined to quote the wisdom of the ages that "Imitation
is the sincerest flattery." Doubtless this is true from
many angles. But like many another truth it will
bear decided qualifications.

It was the happy good fortune of those following
the florist profession to decide upon the telling slo-
gan, "Say it with Flowers." Large sums of money
have been spent to popularize this phrase and to
make it pregnant with meaning to the public. Yet.
every way we turn almost, we are faced with a cor-
ruption or parody of this expressive, four-word sen-
tence. It would almost seem as though hundreds of
people who have cropped up in different lines en-
treat us to say it with whatever they happen to have
to sell.

Of course it is the sentiment of kindness, love, or
desire to give pleasure. At least, that was the original
idea of the slogan, "Say it with Flowers." but a re-

ON FASTING

When I am walking down the street

I feel my heart expand
To greet the heart of every man

Who keeps a flower stand.

For fruit is very nice, of course,

And baker shops are fine,
But flowers are the food to feed

This hungry soul of mine.

A Pansy or a Daffodil

Is adequate to meet
Whatever hunger that I feel

On walking down the street.

And I could fast for food a week

With very small regrets
If only I might be assured

The breath of Violets.

A Grower Comes to Town

Visiting the new retail store of Totty's,
on 53d st., N. Y., just east of 5th ave., one
feels that with this grower coming to
town, a new departure has come into be-
ing. Mind you, we realize that many city
retailers have glass in the suburbs, but
they are primarily retailers, their posses-
sion of glass being a relatively small fac-
tor in their entire business. ' The Totty
ease, however, is just the reverse, for in
it we have a man with a national, aye, an
international reputation, as a grower, add-
ing a retail store in the metropolis to his
business interests.

It needs no flight of imagination to
recognize the easy call that Mr. Totty
will have on the finest under glass and
outdoor stock from his own greenhouses
for his city store, and the excellent posi-
tion he will be in to make floral displays
that cannot fail to attract and please the
public.

As we write, the store in question is
a veritable miniature flower show, which
has been effectively advertised, and has
drawn a stream of people the entire week,
exceeding Mr. Totty's most sanguine
hopes. In this conducting of a worth-
while miniature flower show (and adver-
tising it freely) in your own store lies a
sure way to attract the public to you,
the value of which in building up business
would be difficult to overestimate. As
well, this new store has already begun to
be a city sales office for plants from the
Totty establishment at Madison, N. J.,
thereby constituting itself a most desir-
able outlet for a greater plant business
that may easily demand an increase in
glass area at Madison.

So, we are compelled to regard this
addition to the retail stores of New York
City as one launched with "natural" ad-
vantages sufficient to augur almost certain
success. Q j_,

A New Club Branch Formed

The Advisory Council of the Kansas
City Florist Club which met weekly for
months preceding the S. A. F. and 0. H.
Convention, has resumed sessions. The
first luncheon meeting since the conven-
tion was held Nov. 3, at the Mid Day
Club, where the sessions had occurred
that meant so much for cooperation in
arrangements for the big gathering. While
the meeting was quite informal, W. L.
Rock, who was chairman of the general
convention committee, presided. In or-
der that there might be some machinery
for handling further meetings, officers
were elected as follows: W. L. Rock,
chairman; John Klaus, vice-chairman, and
Miller E. Carter, secretary-treasurer. This
monthly noonday gathering of florists is
an accessory rather than a rival or sub-
stitute of the Kansas City Florist Club;
it provides the occasion, such as is pro-
vided in many other industries, for meet-
ings downtown at times when business men
can attend for an hour or so, and where
matters of the industry can be talked
over casually. The gathering will decide
at the next session, what name shall be
attached to it, for indentification. The
chairman will appoint one or two com-
mittees, that thought may immediately
be put upon subjects to come up later for
consideration. In case any resolutions or
action may seem called for, the subjects,
with results of study, will be submitted
to the Kansas City Florist Club.

The matter of credits, both to retail
customers in Kansas City and to outside
patrons, is being discussed by local flo-
rists. It was remarked recently that al-
together too many losses occur on flowers,
especially those charged to people who
previously have been good cash custom-
ers. It has been suggested that florists
arrange some program whereby word may
be spread about as to desirability of
credit accounts, and a program somewhat
similar to that used by the credit men of
the other retail merchants, is being con-
sidered. Florists are inclined to prefer
to have the merchandise on their shelves
rather than to have bad accounts on their
books. In support of more cautious
credit granting, the experience of a cigar
retailer is mentioned. He, in 1922, so
far, has made $5000 more profit for him-
self than in 1921, yet doing less volume.
"Florists are beginning to get away from
the old notion that they might as well
get rid of the perishable commodities,"
said one florist. "We are taking a more
businesslike view of merchandising."

Cost accounting, too, has begun to in-
terest Kansas City florists, and an effort
will be made to circulate some of the in-
formation about making money in the
flower business, that florists having ac-
counting systems have gleaned. Literature
on the subject is being gathered, and will
in some way, be made available to florists
who may not have definite data with
which to formulate their price lists.

Education, Watchword of Florists Club

Education seems to be the "watch-
word" of the new administration of the
Kansas City Florists Club. W. J. Barnes,
president, is earnestly seeking to build
programs for the monthly meetings, that
will be really helpful to both experienced
and inexperienced members. The pros-
pectus of Fritz Bahr's book on commer-
cial floriculture very accurately reflects
the type of material that it is desired to
put before the members. A two-fold diffi-
culty presents itself, however, which oth-
er clubs have no doubt encountered. First
to get somebody who can make a good
speech, and second, to have that somebody

ity to present information interestingly
does exist in the club, and it is hoped that
orators may appear. In line with Mr.
Barnes' ambition for useful and educa-
tional material, is the prospect that grow-
ers will be drawn into the club more
freely than heretofore, and program ma-
terial of special interest to them will be
provided.

Trade Notes

Frosts have changed the aspect of
Fall business in Kansas City, by the
elimination of much outside flowers
though many are still being plucked from
private gardens. The weather has been
too warm for the usual volume of early
Winter trade. Temperatures above 80
were registered last week, and above 70
Nov. 3, is not conducive to shopping. All
lines of retailing are slow and florists are
not having the store trade usual at this
time of year. Chrysanthemums are in
good supply and move well. Roses are
being sold at bargains, many florists and
other establishments holding sales on Sat-
urdays, at prices down to 50c. a doz.

An interesting comment on flower prices
occurred recently during a conversation
between the manager of a department
store and a florist. The department store
manager remarked that big stores used
flower sales as means of drawing people
into stores, without purposing to make
much money in such sales. She added that
she invariably bought flowers from local
giowers, in this matter trying to perform
a service for the local industry. The flo-
rist responded that it was obvious that
the department store could sell at lower
prices than the florist, and legitimately
so.

Plans are being made in Kansas City
for floral decorations around the "Say it
with Flowers" billboards next Spring. It
is intended that every such billboard
shall have Cannas or similar plantings,
whereby the boards may convey the sort
of impression desired.

The Market

Most unusual weather conditions,
such as have not occurred in the memory
of the oldest inhabitant, have greatly af-
fected the flower market hereabouts. An-
other glut commenced late last week and
is on in full force. The curious thing
about it is that it is a glut of mid-season
flowers, such as Zinnias, Dahlias, Cosmos,
Coxcomb, Larkspur and Marigolds, which
the excessively warm weather of the past
ten days have brought back to the mar-
ket. Commission merchants in the cut
flower game say they have never ex-
perienced such a peculiar condition. Grow-
ers who thought that their outdoor plants
had been killed and that their last cut-
tings of mid-season flowers had been mar-
keted, showed up again with truckloads
of late flowers and said that their
Dahlias, Cosmos, Zinnias and Larkspur
were blooming more luxuriantly than be-
fore the frosts. Dealers are agreed that
the blooms are even finer than before the
frost. Handsome specimens of Dr. Fel-
lows, Mrs. Estes, California Gold and
various types of Cactus Dahlias had to
go for 3c. to 4c. each, which in season
would have sold for from 25c. to 45e.
Zinnias went for $2 a 100. Larkspur and
Asters had to be sacrificed in proportion
because 'Mums and Roses and Carnations
were crowding the markets. Handsome
yellow Chrysanthemums which ought to
have been worth §S4 to $5 a doz., whole-
sale, were selling to dealers at 25c. and
even then they were hard to sell because
the poor things couldn't stand up under
the temperatures. Their heads were soft
and mushy and the stems would not ab-

sorb moisture. Carnations were soft and
ragged and had no substance or beauty.
Roses stood up better, especially Premier
and Columbia, but all suffered somewhat.

An idea of the strain on Fall plants
may be gained when one considers that
several nights the thermometer registered
55 to 60 degs. at midnight last week.
Florists are praying for real cold weath-
er so that we can save something of our
'Mum crop. As it is, the late 'Mums,
such as the Bonnaffon are pushing the
early blooms out of the market and it
looks like there will be so many offering
shortly that nobody will get a living price
for anything.

Greens and ferns enjoyed a large sale
both last week and this. The All Saints
and All Souls' business turned out to be
far ahead of expectations in spite of the
warm weather. Sales of Callas and Easter
Lilies were large and the distribution
of Ruscus, Immortelles, artificial flowers,
vases and stock memorial decorations of
lasting character was larger than in
other years.

News Notes

The Cincinnati Florists Society held
a meeting last week at the store of H.
W. Sheppard preparatory to organizing
the committee for the Rose and Carna-
tion shows to be held at the Gibson Hotel
in January incidental to the meetings of
the American Rose and American Carna-
tion Societies. Mr. Sheppard, who is
the district vice-president for the Ameri-
can Carnation Society as well as president
of the Cincinnati Florists Society, will be
in charge of convention arrangements.

Efforts to get the retailers and com-
mission men together to discuss the ad-
vertising program on a basis of a one per
cent sales assessment have not been sig-
nally successful. The storemen are not

eager for the arrangement; they are dubi-

ers also, it is reported, are losing faith
in the plan and prefer the pay-as-you-go
plan of subscription for a definite

A number of retailers, commission men
and growers participated in the motor
trip to Richmond, Indiana, as the guests
of Joe Hill, the Rose grower. The Roses
in the Hill greenhouses were in fine shape
and the 'Mum show given for the bene-
fit of the visitors was a revelation. Mr.

Society of American Florists and
Ornamental Horticulturists

National Publicity Campaign

Information furnished by John Young,
43 West Ulh S:reol, NswJYork

The florists' industry, like many oth-
ers, has in its ranks of business men,
many who are thoughtless in the various
little obligations which lie within the
pale of actual turnover in productions.
The National Publicity Campaign has en-
tailed of many good florists obligations
to pay certain amounts within their
means into a fund which is to finance
the campaign for publicity for flowers
with which the Publicity Committee of
the Society has been entrusted, and which
it is nobly trying to prosecute in the best
interests of all concerned.

Through thoughtlessness — we perhaps
could more truthfully say negligence—
quite a number of subscribers to the fund
pledged support in various amounts, but,
even after repeated approach, have failed
to make good their pledges. As the
standing of these delinquents is beyond
question, the Committee is more than sur-
prised that they do not at once take heed
of their thoughtlessness and repair their
negligence.

The Committee is in urgent need of
this pledged money; in fact, the use of
it is of material importance to it in
plans for publicity based upon its collec-
tion. Bills for the sums due have been
sent out several times, and delinquents
are expected to make immediate remit-
tance to the Secretary, so that there need
be no hitch in the arrangements which
they hope to complete.

Snapshots from a Cornell Student's
Note Book

The Boys Go A-Visiting

On Saturday, Oct. 27, the students in
commercial floriculture, under Professor
Nehrling, at Cornell University, and
Ralph J. Roskelly of the Bool Floral Co.,
spent the day inspecting various practical
phases of the floricultural business.

The start from Ithaca was early, offi-
cially 7 a.m., but we left at 7.20, well
equipped with morning newspapers, note
books, smokes and similar vital necessi-
ties. Enclosed and heated cars are ex-
cellent, unless the windows refuse to stay
up without being held. . However, the
flower vases make first rate ash trays.
The two cars carrying 14 students, ar-
rived in Auburn and visited Shaw &
Boehler's range, finding a young, progres-
sive concern with an unmistakable atmos-
phere of success about it. Some 20,000
sq. ft. of glass cover all the seasonal crops,
with an emphasis on Carnations, to he
seen at this place.

From there we went to the Patrick s
Retail Store, which has been very attrac-
tively remodeled within the year.

Mr. Gilbert next acted as host, at the
Melrose Nurseries, arid we were favored,
among other things, by the sight of his
Mme. Cochet Roses, which date back to
the first years of that variety's promi-
nence. Mr. Gilbert, in a limited experi-
ment, finds it satisfactory to allow the
development of three blooms to one
Chrysanthemum plant of the large double
type. There is no decrease in size.

Next to Syracuse and dinner, followed
by inspection of the busy concern of
W. F. Bultman's retail store, where we
found them pushing the sale of bulbs.

The retail store of the J. P. Quinlan Co.,
the oldest firm in Syracuse, was; also
visited.

Mrs. L. C. Smith's conservatories, with
their excellent collection of conservatory
plants, were visited . By this time the
process of loading and unloading ourselves
trom the cars had been mastered to per-
fection, and we hustled on to D. M.
Edward's range at East Onondaga. They
are setting up houses which had previous-
ly been used in connection with their
home on James st. Their bench installa-
tion featured tile bottom and iron pipe
legs, resting upon a strip of cement 5in.
wide. This cement strip ran without in-
terruption along under the front of the
bench, bordering all walks, with 3in. in
the floor and 6in. above the ground. Thus
a sure foundation is obtained and the
cement ledge used for setting pots on.

At Quinlan's range we inspected and
eagerly dogged the footsteps of Superin-
tendent De Wire until after dark. Thus
a fine day had ended. The more con-
servative element of the crowd became
suddenly homesick, and "Ithaca, James,"
was the verdict. Not so with the second
car, under the able direction of Professor
Nehrling. Part of its load had already
gone to parts where they were made wel-
come. The rest had to make themselves
welcome where they went, and the evening
was spent enjoyably in Syracuse.

We take this opportunity to further ex-
press our appreciation for our cordial
reception everywhere. R. B. Farnham.

Business Fair

With weather like Indian Summer
prevailing here most of the time, many
retail lines are suffering some depression
and with them the florists. We need cold
weather to make business hum. However,
conditions are better than they were this
time last year. Far more people are work-
ing here and prospects point to a good
season, particularly for the holidays. It
is noted at this time that with the short-
ening of the days, social affairs, weddings,
dinners and receptions are increasing,
with a consequent demand for floral deco-
rations. There have been several big
weddings here during the past few weeks
at which flowers were extensively used.
The demand for funeral work has been
quite brisk at times. Most florists here
are pushing the sale of bowls and bulbs
and they are selling fairly well even
though department stores cut the life out
of prices.

Stock has been in good condition and
plentiful enough for demand. Chrysan-
themums grown on the local market are
now coming into their own and some ex-
ceptional blooms are being sent in. How-
ever, some florists are selling these at
too close a margin for profit, and this
naturally hurts the sale in these shops
that know what overhead is and what it
demands in the way of a selling price.
Pompons are plentiful; these lovely little
Fall flower9 are increasing each year in
popularity. They are retailing here for
$1 and $1.50 per bunch. Roses, Carna-
tions and Violets are sufficient for mar-
ket needs and sell briskly.

Gathered Here and There

The Lakewood Greenhouse, operat-
ed by Wm. Krueger, is sending into the
market some fine Pompons in various col-
ors that are finding a ready sale. Bill has
had great success with these and raises
them in vast quantities.

Metz Brothers have been quite busy
during the past week with funeral work
and report a brisk demand for 'Mums.
They are advertising more extensively in
the daily papers featuring flowers by

Schramm Bros, are pushing the sales
of bulbs and bowls of which they have a
very attractive stock. Business has been
brisk there and prospects are bright for a
good season.

The cooperative advertising campaign
of the local Florists Club is lagging at
present, due principally to the fact that
collections for the fund are slow. The
benefits from such a campaign are many,
but the spirit is weak.

Bayer's Bonnaffons will be on the mar-
ket by the time this is published. Local
florists eagerly await this date because
this 'Mum is a fine commercial variety, al-
ways in great demand and holds up well.
Ed. Bayer states that this season's 'Mums
will equal the best standards of other
years which is pleasant news.

Business for All Souls' Day, the Catho-
lic Decoration Day, was fairly brisk here
but was hurt considerably by the fact
that hardy Chrysanthemums were in fine
crop in many gardens and were extensive-
ly used by local people.

Armine Suder is making the most of the
'Mum season and has a regular exposition
of these beautiful blooms at all times. He
reports business as increasing day by day
and expects a prosperous holiday de-
mand. F. M. S.

"Why John! They're still fresh!"

How some florists have discovered a way
to keep cut flowers fresh a long time

"CYorists who use a certain type of
-*- container for cut flowers, have fre-
quently been complimented by women
customers on the number of days cut
flowers bought from them have re-
tained a fresh appearance. Naturally,
these women have told their friends of

their discovery and this word-of-mouth
advertising has largely increased these
florists' business, not only in cut flow-
ers, but on their entire line. Every
florist can now know the reason why
these particular florists have been so
fortunate.

The secret of keeping flowers fresh

This container which keeps
flowers fresh so long is unique
in every respect. It is made
and sold by only one firm in
America. It is called "Fi-
brotta." The secret of its
keeping flowers fresh is its
non-conductivity of heat or
cold. Unlike any other vase
it holds water at an even
temperature. Then, too, when
flowers are placed in the ice
box over night the "Fibrotta"
vase keeps the water from be-
coming too cold and chilling
the stems.

Rustless, as well

as non-conducting

The "Fibrotta" vase is made
by a special process of in-
durated fibre. It is seamless.

"Fibrotta" Saucer keeps

earthen pots from

scratching and staining

Woodwork

It cannot rust out, sweat, or
stain woodwork. Rust which
inevitably accumulates in
metal vases deposits upon the
stems. This causes them to
wilt. "Fibrotta" being rust-
less avoids this trouble and
loss. It cannot water-soak.
It is as easy to clean as a
china dish.

Gives Rowers an

air of distinction

There is still another way
in which "Fibrotta" vases aid
your sales. They give flow-
ers an air of distinction, set-
ting off the natural beauty of
each variety. "Fibrotta" vases
are furnished in their natural,
polished mahogany-like color.
There is no varnish to stain
or fade. They keep their orig-
inal color. For special pur-
poses "Fibrotta" vases are

also furnished in green or
white enamel.

A florist shop which stand-
ardizes on "Fibrotta" vases
for cut flowers is certain to
have a trim, attractive and
clean appearance which draws
the highest type of custom-
ers. Remember that despite
their unique qualities for in-
creasing your profit, "Fibrot-
ta" vases cost you no more
than others.

Start now

the new way

You owe it to yourself to
get ready for a big Christmas
business. Nothing you can
do will help you more than
the purchase of "Fibrotta"
vases. The surest way to in-
sure your getting a supply at
this rush time is to order now
for future shipment.

The Market

Nov. 7. — Conditions in the whole-
sale cut flower market from Tuesday of
last week up to the present writing, have
been extremely bad as far as demand,
sales and prices are concerned. The ar-
rivals, too, on most items of staple and
seasonable stock during this period have
shown a steady increase. Speaking oi
the situation, one wholesaler said: "Sat-
urday, Nov. 4, was the worst Saturday
we have experienced since Midsummer."
Another said: "The past week has been
the worst we have ever seen at this sea-
son of the year," and a third: "Whole-
salers have sold stock this week in a
state of desperation." Some attribute
this extreme weakness in the demand for
cut flowers to the great interest in the
elections (which have now been held)
and express the hope that business in cut
flowers will from this time on steadily
improve.

The medium to large supply of Ameri-
can Beauty Roses has been moving out
slowly at prices ranging from 3c. to 50c.
each, covering all grades. Top grade
blooms of other Roses are selling for
about 10c. each in general, but the day
after they reach the market, not a few
of this same grade go to the rather reluc-
tant buyers at 5c. to 6c. each. Hadley,
top grade, is realizing about 20c. each
and Key 35c. No. 2 grade blooms have
reached a low record mark for this sea-
son of the year; at least, for this period
during recent years, namely, $1 to $2 per
100.

Carnations are in abundant supply and
are moving out slowly at prices ranging
in general from $1.50 to $4, and occa-
sionally $5 per 100. Arrivals of Cattle-
yas and Cypripediums are not over large.
Prices on the former range from 50c. to
$1.50 each and on the latter, $3 to $4
per doz. Gardenias continue to be in
rather short supply and consequently
prices are maintained at $2 to $6 per
doz. The demand for Lily of the Valley
is rather sluggish at $1 to $6 per 100.
White and pink Lilies are in rather short
supply, and for that reason rather than
because of an active demand, show high-
er prices, $20 to $25 per 100 for the
former and $10 to $15 for the latter.
Colored Bouvardia shows an increasing
supply, which, however, as yet, is not
very large. The price is $1 to $1.50 per
bunch. There are small arrivals of Pa-
perwhite Narcissus and it is fortunate
that they are not any larger under pres-
ent market conditions. This stock is sell-
ing at about $1 per bunch.

Chrysanthemums are now the chief
flower in the market. Arrivals are very
large, both of the large flowered and
bunch types. The sales are larger than
that of any cut flower at this time, but
the demand is not sufficient to keep the
market anywhere near cleaned up, and
prices are lower and weaker. The large
flowered kinds are selling at from $1 to
$3 a doz. in general, but choice blooms
of some preferred varieties on occasional
sales are realizing $4, and those of a few

exhibition varieties in small supply, com-
mand prices of $6 and upward. However,
it cannot be too emphatically stated that
$2 to $3 at present buys a dozen 'Mums
of large size and excellent quality, and,
furthermore, that $1 is not the low limit
for there are some sales at as low a fig-
ure as 60c. a doz. Large receivers of
Chrysanthemums have been at their wits'
end this past week to dispose of them,
even at very low prices. Bunch 'Mums,
too, are sharing the same fate, selling at
25c. to 50c. a bunch, the latter price
being for choicer varieties of Pompons,
Single and Anemone types of highest
quality.

The arrivals of Snapdragon have stead-
ily increased and have now become large.
For these arrivals there is no correspond-
ing increase in the demand. The quality
is excellent, but buyers are lacking. There
are occasional sales of extra choice stock
at $1.50 or even $2 a bunch, but the gen-
eral run of Snapdragon of excellent qual-
ity is going out at 50c. to $1 a bunch.

Sweet Peas show an increase in supply
and are meeting with a moderately good de-
mand at $2 to $3 per 100. The supply
as yet has not become overlarge. There
are small arrivals of Stevia, selling at
about 35c. a bunch. The moderate sup-
ply of Violets, and the demand for these
in consequence of the Autumn football
games, has helped keep the prices up.
Doubles are selling at $1 and Singles at
75c. to $1 per 100. Spasmodic demands
on the day preceding any game are liable
to increase these prices temporarily.

Of the indoor grown greens, Aspara-
gus is meeting the largest demand at $1
to $2 a 100 sprays. Smilax is selling
from $1.50 to $2.50 per doz. strings;
Adiantum Croweanum Ferns at $1 to $2,
and A. Farleyense at $10 to $12 per 100
sp:ays. Boughs of Oak foliage continue
to meet a large demand.

News Notes

Herman Scommodau, 54 W. 28th St.,
tells us that this season, the demand made
upon him at wholesale for bunch 'Mums,
including those of the Pompon, Single
and Anemone types, is unusually heavy,
in fact, far exceeds the demand for the
large flowered varieties, though these, too,
he reports are moving well. Roses, Mr.
Scommodau says, during the Chrysanthe-
mum season, appear to take a back seat,
and the same is true of Lilies and not
a few other kinds of staple flowers. The
present, says Mr. Scommodau, is the 'Mum
season, and this condition is to be ex-
pected. But, for all that, Roses, Carna-
tions and other staple flowers, always meet
with some sales, and as soon as the
Chrysanthemum season is past, all these
staple flowers will, of course, come into
their own again.

Calling on Herman Weiss, 121 W. 28th
st, recently, we noted a large number of
kinds of Carnations of excellent quality,
among them, Maine Sunshine, Cottage
Maid, Ward and Laddie. Also, the first
really heavy arrivals of Bouvardia we
have noted this season, in three shades,
pink, white and blush white. We also
saw at Mr. Weiss', Princess of Wales
Violets, possessing a real Violet fragrance
and, in every respect, of excellent qual-
ity for so early in the season.

S. Hanfling & Co., the well known flo-
rist supply firm, 131-133 W. 28th st., as-
sure us that business is fully as good as
last season, that all their importations
from Europe are now in the store, and
that their finishing shop is exceedingly
busy. Looking over the large store of
this company, we found it "chock a block"
with novelties and standard goods, but, so
arranged that prospective buyers can ex-
amine the goods easily. It looks, says
Mr. Hanfling, as if retail florists should
order their holiday stock early, to avoid
possible disappointment through placing
their orders during the holiday rush
period, which it is confidently expected, is
really on.

We noted at William Kessler's, 113 W.
28th St., some extra fine Sweet Peas from
H. Mamitsch, Tenafly, N. J. Mr. Kessler
tells us that he is receiving a steady sup-
ply of these fine Peas. Regular arrivals
of Russell, Premier, Hadley, Columbia,
Butterfly, Ophelia and Ward at Mr. Kess-
ler's, places him among the receivers of
fine Roses. He showed us during our
call, by actual count, twenty varieties of

the large flowered 'Mums, so many in-
deed in number and quantity, that they
really constituted a "Mum Show in them-
selves. We noted here, too, some of the
first Pansies of ' the season, and special
Valley of extra quality.

We have always thought that different
varieties of the Chadwick were/ about the
last call as regards excellence in 'Mums.
Though it is early in the season for this
variety, we noted some of these at Frank
Golsner's, 55 W. 26th St., the Coogan Bldg.
With the Chadwick were also several oth-
er mid-season varieties, including Chas.
Rager and Pink Chieftain, and also some
of that extra fine Snapdragon, which Mr.
Golsner received in steady supply last
year. This season it is as good as last.

Saturday, Nov. 4, was Forgetmenot
Da}', a day which has been appointed for
the remembrance of those who died in
the World War and of the Veterans who
were disabled in that war. The emblem
of the day was a bunch of Forgetmenots.

The Market

Nov. 6. — The delightful Indian
Summer weather Chicago has been enjoy-
ing the past few weeks is not conducive
to the well-being of the cut flower mar-
ket. People are too much out of doors
and flower buying is but spasmodic. The
fine weather, too is bringing on stock
in large quantities and so far, without
apparent increase in the demand. There
is an abundant supply of everything and
the market could handle without difficulty
a much larger demand. The shipping is,
however, very good; large shipments go
out daily from all the wholesalers to vari-
ous points all over the country and un-
der ordinary conditions, would constitute
a good business but in the face of the
large supply, it makes but slight im-
pression on the market.

For the time being, Chrysanthemums
dominate the market; they are in abun-
dance everywhere and of varying grades.
The supply is so large that it is impos-
sible to obtain anything like satisfactory
prices. They are selling anywhere from
$6 to $40 per 100 from the smaller to the
fancy blooms. There is a large quantity
of Singles and Pompons, all of which are
selling at remarkably low figures. The
supply of these has reached the high
mark of the season and will, continue for
a week or two longer before it reaches
the down grade. It is believed with the
advent of cooler weather, the remainder
of the season will finish better than it
started.

The supply of Roses is large and might
not be so unwieldy were it not for the
competition they meet during the height
of the Chrysanthemum season. The short
stock moves well; it is the medium and
fancy grades that have a tendency to
drag.

There is enough Valley which somehow
never suffers in price fluctuation no mat-
ter how much other stock there may be.
The price remains steady at $S per 100.
There are plenty of Sweet Peas, and a
few Callas have made their appearance.
Calendulas are in the offering at most of
the houses. Violets are becoming more

plentiful and eastern stock is arriving in
a little better condition than the early
shipments. Carnations are also in liberal
supply. Easter Lilies remain firm at
$25 per 100. There are a few Snapdrag-
ons, but the quality so far is not extra.
Ferns are selling at $3.50 per 1000 with
some houses asking $4. Gomphrena globo-
sa is a novelty. The first of the Winter-
berries have come and the quality is ex-
cellent the branches being closely covered
with bright red berries.

News Notes

The Commercial Flower Growers
of Chicago will hold their next regular
monthly meeting Nov. 16 at the Hotel
Randolph. A flower show will be staged
and growers having novelties or anything
of special merit will have the opportunity
to bring them before the growers and are
cordially invited to send or present
any novelties they may have. The Al-
lied Florists Association will give a com-
plete report of the work done from an
advertising viewpoint and lay before the
association all plans for future advertis-
ing for their approval.

J. C. Nielsen of the American Bulb Co.
reached the city last week, having motored
all the way from Tupelo, Miss., .in remark-
ably short time. In company with Jos.
Mabry of the Tupelo Floral Co., they
made record time from Tupelo to Louis-
ville, Ky., a distance of 370 miles in 11%
hours. From Louisville they came to
Chicago where Mr. Mabry spent- a few
days placing orders for cut flowers and
holiday supplies and bulb orders for
1923. He operates 56,000 sq. ft. of glass
and has 40 acres of outdoor stock that he
ships to the wholesale market in the sur-
rounding large cities of the South. The
South is prosperous and the florists there
are doing well according to those gen-
tlemen recently from there.

The new Rose, Silver Wedding, which is
being grown by the A. F. Amling Co., at
Maywood, was exhibited at the Maywood
Show the past week. It deserves more
■than a passing notice. It is a sport, with
ivory white foliage. It is so to speak, an
albino among Roses and the producers be-
lieve there is a place for it in the whole-
sale market. The midribs and leaf stalks
are slightly pink, which makes a. pleas-
ing contrast in color. The foliage pos-
sesses as -much attraction as the blooms
which are of the true Ophelia type and
color. These white sports are all grafted
on the old Ophelia stock. One house is
given to its cultivation and looks at a
distance like a field of Silver Maples. For
corsage or wedding bouquets when trim-
med with silver ribbon, it is decidedly at-
tractive.

The Chicago Flower Growers Associa-
tion is supplying its customers with some
fine Chrysanthemums. Some exhibition
blooms brought as much as $1 per bloom
the past week. Paul Klingsporn will at-
tend the St. Louis flower show the present
week.

The Lake Geneva, Wis., Gardeners and
Foremen's Ass'n will hold a Chrysanthe-
mum show in the horticultural hall there
on Nov. 10-12. Liberal premiums are of-
fered. Henry West is secretary.

Miss Marie Groth, who conducted a
novelty shop for florists sundries has sub-
leased her store in room 202, Atlas Block,
and will retire from business for a short
time to rest and recuperate.

C. W. Beu, N. Crawford ave., reports
total of 67 inquiries for his oil burning
system from three small ads in The Flo-
rists Exchange. He is cutting some fine
Chrysanthemums and reports business
good.

Oliver Steinkamp of Baer & Steinkamp,
Indianapolis, Ind., who attended the meet-

ing of the Maywood growers last week, is
boosting for the Carnation Show in con-
nection with the American Rose Society
in Cincinnati, O., in January next.

There will be quite a delegation from
here to the St. Louis Chrysanthemum
show the present week. All the seed houses
will send representatives as well as some
of the wholesale cut flower houses. Geo.
Mohn will represent the E. C. Amling
Co. The greenhouse construction compan-
ies will also be represented. Poehlmann
Bros. Co. will exhibit seasonable stock
in supplies with Gus Martial and M. N.
Tyler in charge.

At the Maywood Jubilee, the large gath-
ering, especially the younger generation,
listened interestingly to the sage remarks
of the two deans of the trade, namely
E. G. Hill of Richmond, Ind., and J. C.
Vaughan of Chicago. The long and varied
experience of these two honored gentle-
men is well worth a hearing at any time.
No doubt the future big men of the florist
trade will have profited by their timely
suggestions made at this meeting.

Cleveland, 0.

The Market

The market gets firmer, and more
stock is arriving. The height of the 'Mum
season is here.

Roses are good, and the longer stemmed
stock is more in evidence. Carnations
improve each week. Violets are more in
demand and have better lasting qualities.

'Mums, including Pompons, dominate
the situation and are indeed good.

The opening of the Keith Palace The-
atre, Nov. 6, cleared the market of every
long stemmed flower; the retail florists
worked overtime to get the tremendous
lot of flowers in place for that gala oc-
casion.

Plants are in heavy supply now. Cycla-
men, Begonias, 'Mums, Cherries and Prim-
roses are plentiful and exceptionally well
done. Greens are normal.

The Palace Opening-

The Keith Palace Theatre opening
was a busy day for the florists; of Cleve-
land. Thousands of the best blooms were
used. This wonderful vaudeville palace,
erected at a cost of over- five million dol-
lars, by E. F. Albee and his associates,
was turned into a veritable flower garden.
Huge baskets of American Beauty Roses,
wonderful bunches and vases of Chrysan-
themums in beautiful color combinations,
as well as baskets of fruits and flowers,
were the offering of business houses, banks,
theatres and friends of the management.

The beautiful lobby, done in American
Beauty Rose color and marble, made a
wonderful background for the mass of
flowers banked in the foyer of this, the
world's finest playhouse.

There were F. T..D. orders from every-
where, and all of the F. T. D. members
had their share. Reams of paper could
be used in describing the beauty of the
house and its appointments, and the part
the florists of Cleveland had in making
Nov. 6 a floral festival. May we have
many such occasions in Cleveland.

The Cleveland Florists Club

The regular monthly meeting of
the Florists Club was held in the Hol-
lenden, Monday evening, Nov. 6, with
President Witthukn in the chair. An un-
usually large crowd turned out to wel-
come the new president, who recently re-
turned from Europe.

It was indeed a representative meeting,
and a large number of the "Old Guard"
turned out. This is as it should be. They
are the backbone of the Florists Club,
and are the ones who should handle the
committee work and help the president
shape the destinies of the club.

Mr. Witthuhn's action in lining up the
"Old Guard" speaks well for his adminis-
trative ability, and we believe the Florists
Club of Cleveland, under his leadership,
will once again be a strong factor in
florist and horticultural circles.

News Notes

A fine rain visited this section the
latter part of the week, and shrubs will
be in much better shape for lifting on ac-
count of it. There has been no hard freez-
ing weather up to Nov. 6. Nurserymen
report plenty of work; in fact, more than
they can handle. .Chrysanthemums and
other flowers are scarcse and are bringing
good prices.

Importers of bulbs in this section have
had to reject a large part of their stocks
because of the quality. From 25 to 100
per cent of the Tulips and Narcissus Vic-
toria were spoiled, apparently overheated
in transit. Some firms have refused their
whole shipment.

A. N. Hermes, F. H. Gibbs, R. A.
Latham, O. H. Corlson, L. E. Knight and
W. H Alderman are on a hunting trip in
northern Minnesota

A. W. Latham has returned to Cali-
fornia for the Winter.

The Minnesota Horticultural Society
will hold its annual show and meeting in
Minnehaha Halls, St. Paul, Dec. 5 to 8.

Plans for the Minneapolis Flower Fes-
tival are. coming along nicely. Some of
the out of town exhibitors already en-
tered are Poehlmann Bros., Chicago; Hans
Jepson, Maywood, 111.; Elmer D. Smith,
Adrian, Mich.; and Stuppy Floral Co.,
St. Joseph, Mo. Philip Breitmeyer, De-
troit; J. J. Hess, Omaha; and Wm. J.
Smyth, Chicago, will act as judges.

Six of the local nurseries will exhibit
shrubs, trees and perennials in the armory
annex. Several miniature home grounds
are to be installed, and a large sunken
garden, 60ft.xl20ft., made up of Chrys-
anthemums, Begonias and other flowering
plants, will be made by the Minneapolis
Park Board.

The main Armory will be specially
lighted and decorated with a carload of
southern Smilax, received from Chas. F.
Lee of Glenwood, Ala. A carload of
Spruce trees has been received for deco-
rating the annex and marking the lamp
posts from downtown to the Armory.

Max Kaiser, Hugh Will and C. F. Ken-
nedy have the arrangements in hand for
the banquet, Monday evening. Monday
is Rose Day, and a seedling Rose and
Chrysanthemum are to be christened by
Miss Wells and Miss Partridge. C. R.

A Unique Botanical Garden

According to the Journal of the Botan-
ical Society of South Africa, several
American travelers including E. H. Wil-
son, consider the Kirstenbosch Botanical
Garden the most interesting of all the
gardens they have seen. E. H. Wilson,
who probably knows plants in their na-
tive state better than anyone, declares it
is a pleasure to find a garden which fea-
tures only the native flora. Botanical
gardens the world over, invariably make
a point of trying to grow all kinds of
plants indigenous or otherwise. At Kir-
stenbosch, practically the only plants
grown are natives of South Africa and the
collection is fully representative and well
displayed. As elsewhere, the wild flora of
South Africa is rapidly being despoiled;
parts of the veldt are fast being cleared
by the professional plant and flower hun-
ters, so the Kirstenbosch Garden is
serving to prevent the extinction of many
subjects.

CARE IN CHOOSING VARIETIES. — Many varieties of this type have been introduced within the past year or two, numerous of which have
little or no merit Supplying as we do many of the largest Sweet Pea growers in this country, we spare no effort to ascertain the best commercial
varieties, all of which are given a thorough trial as to their "Florists Value" before being offered to the trade.

The Market

Nov. 7. — Chrysanthemums, if you
just look at them, are quite nice flowers,
but they are also something else when
they drop like a ton of bricks on to the
market and start in to upset the equa-
nimity of grower and salesman alike. That
is what they have done in Boston the last
few days. Just "snuck up," a few at a
time, for three or four weeks, to spy out
the lay of the land, and now they 'have
come in the heavy battalions and "busted
the market. Busted is right, meaning
that grower and salesman will be down
and out, kapores and haste gesehen if they
fiddle with present prices much longer.

When Roses droop their heads in shame
(nice, well-grown heads, too), and Car-
nations go to sleep because they do not
bring one-half of what it has cost to
bring them into the world, then one may
understand that somebody is not likely
to get rich. This time we cannot blame
the trouble on prohibition — it's the 'Mums,
the beautiful, shaggy and tight-hearted
Chrysanthemums that have been laying
low for almost a year, just to gather
strength so as to be able to give a solar
plexus to all other little flowers that try
to compete with the Queen of Autumn,
only to go down in the general skirmish
themselves.

There have been some halloo-balloos
about a certain Florists Alliance that
was going to knock spots out of all gluts
that might dare to show their heads
How come? Where is? What does it
do? That really is the question. Lay on
MacDuff, we'll take no bluff; where, oh

Wholesale and Commission Florist

where art tho'u, friend Florists Alliance?
Come out of your dreams; tell the people
of Boston that great, big, handsome ^Vlums
are breaking down the tables in the whole-
sale market by sheer weight; that any
number of flowers, which took months and
months to grow, have to be thrown away
because the public does not know how
cheap they can be bought. Come on,
Florists Alliance, tell the public about it,
and at least try to find out whether ad-
vertising will make the people buy flowers
when they are within reason and within
reach of their pocketbook.

There is little to tell about conditions
in the market. It has gone where the
Woodbine twineth — up the spout. Roses
are from lc. to 8c. for regular grades.
(Less will buy them, too.) Carnations
make 3c, or at the utmost 4c. for the best,
but slathers of Roses and Carnations
might as well have never been born. There
is no sense in saying much more. The
market is cram-jam full of almost every-
thing needed except, maybe, Violets,
which are rather scarce and bring l^c.
Sweet Peas, too, are easy to sell, if good,
and make from lc. to 3c. Few Callas and
white Lilies are offered. Calendulas are
now pretty good, and Snapdragons are
improving in quality, although quite rare
as yet.

News Notes

A new florist store was opened at
24 Winter St., Haverhill, Mass., by Lina
E. Sargent, on Nov. 2.

Daniel Iliffe of Weymouth, Mass., is
exceedingly busy with greenhouse work
this season. Dan, for many years, has
proved that he knows how to build a
greenhouse or how to set a boiler and do
the piping. At present he is erecting a
new greenhouse at Cohassett, and is pip-
ing two greenhouses for Chas. H. Howell,

Not. 7. — A glut is a terrible thing
to the wholesale florist. The retailer
doesn't like it either, because flowers are
too. cheap and profits are cut. But a
glut when stock is good — not fair, but
good — is a very sad thing. Who is to
blame V The grower is sending in, on an
average, high quality stock. What poor
stuff arrives remains unsold, at all
events, so that the grower of poor stock
receives justice.

The wholesaler claims he has nothing
to do with it. provided he sells all he can
at a reasonable price and keeps an eagle
eye on shipping possibilities. The re-
tailer claims that he can buy only as
much as business warrants — no more.

Who is to blame?

It seems to me that all three are to
blame. There should be advertising and
carefully made prices. The demand
should be boosted. All three profit from
increased demand, therefore all three
groups should get behind the boost.

Nov. 4 saw a good deal of stock car-
ried over. Carnations particularly failed
•to find a demand — good and bad, al-
though anything in the way of extra fine
stock was. of course, snapped up. Good
Chrysanthemums were sold as a general
thing. Mediums and shorts were hard

to sell and are getting more and more so
every year. The matter of good and bad
varieties is also playing an important
part in the grower's returns.

There are plenty of Pompons— fine
quality. Most of these cleaned up, but
outdoor stock, as a rule, got left in the
ice-box. Roses need pushing badly.
Quality is good, but many were left Sat-
urday night— and there are plenty at
time* of writing. Good American Beauty
Roses are available in quantity.

Another unfavorable point last week
was a lower price average.

The opening of the Frankford 'L did
not seem to require flowers at all ; at
least nothing noticeable. Weddings, fu-
nerals and hospitals are about the only
elements of business.

Election Day and the day before are
notoriously bad flower days in Philadel-
phia. Verily we are a Prophet of Gloom
this week. And yet we confidently state
that affairs cannot last this way. Either
matters will improve of themselves, or

trick.

Around the Market

Good shipping business continues
at the Leo Niessen Co. The best demand,
perhaps, is for Orchids and Gardenias,
although all blooms are selling more or
less. Some white Bouvardia was no-
ticed here and we were informed that
this has been steadily available since
August with this firm.

The Joseph Heacock Co. cleaned up
last week, owing solely to the fact of
the specialized nature of their business.

Some fine Pompons were noticed at
Chas. E. Meehan's, including New York,
November Gold and Louise Davenport.

Hardy Chrysanthemums and ferns at
Miehell's were selling nicely Nov. 6.
Store business was generally good.

Recent visitors at the Robert Craig
Co., Norwood, were John Small, Wash-
ington, D. C. ; A. Leuthy, Boston, Mass. ;
and J. C. Bauder, Reading, Pa. The
Cyclamen here is in good shape for
Christmas.

The banquet tendered by H. Bayers-
dorfer & Co. to its entire staff of em-
ployees and also the captains of the
various rival ball teams is scheduled for
Saturday night. Nov, 11, at the Mercan-
tile Club. The Campbell cup will be
presented at this banquet.

L. B. Coddington, Murray Hill, N. J.,
is adding a unit of six houses, 500f t.x60f t.,
to his establishment, which already in-
cludes two such units — each with their
own heating plant and all completely
self-contained. The grading has been
practically done for the new work.

J. Otto Thilow was scheduled to give
a lecture at Southport, Conn., Nov. 7.

George Aeugle is to be congratulated.
The stork arrived with an eight and a
half pound baby girl Nov. 4. Mother
and daughter doing well and George can-
not stop smiling.

Retailers

A feature with Charles Henry
Fox last week was "Dollar-a-Dozen-
Roses." They were put up in boxes all
ready to be taken out and the window
display showed them in this manner.
The effect was unique. Not because the
Hoses were extraordinary or because the
price was out of the way, but because
passersby saw the merchandize as they
Mould actually take it out of the store
with them if they bought — a good deal
like the effect of a made-up basket with
a price tag on it.

Habermehl's have been getting rid of
a good many of the largest sized Chrys-
anthemums at fancy prices lately.

Pennock Bros, found their Hallowe'en
novelties sold like hotcakes. 'So far as
I am aware this is the' only downtown
store that really went after Hallowe'en
business. The fact that they got it shows
its possibilities.

T. Nielson Geiger reported business
mainly in funerals and weddings last
week.
Club Meeting

Inauguration night at the Phila-
delphia Florists Club was fitly celebrated

when 50 or more members and ladies sat
down to a banquet at the Hotel Adelphia
Nov. 7. President Edward Reid and
Vice-president John W. Thorne were the
guests of honor. During the meeting a
bouquet was presented Mrs. Reid.

The meeting opened at S p.m. and ordi-
nary business was suspended in view of
several addresses scheduled. A represen-
tative of the U. S. Veterans Bureau ad-
dressed the meeting for a few minutes
explaining the purpose of the board.
Disabled veterans are, among other avo-
cations, trained for floriculture at the
various universities. A plea was made
that the florist give the returned man
first chance by phoning or writing the
Philadelphia office whenever an employee
was needed.

Professor J. G. Sanders of the Bureau
of Plant Industry and W. A. McCubbiu,
plant pathologist, both of the State De-
partment of Agriculture, succeeded in
giving the members some idea of what
the new experiment station at Willow
Grove would mean to the florist and
made a plea for the fullest cooperation.

The life histories and means of con-
trol of greenhouse pests was the subject
of Professor C. A. Weigle's illustrated
lecture.

E. P. Klinger acted as secretary pro
tern, Mr. Kift having been called unex-
pectedly out of town.

green, Asparagus Mandaiana. We noted
also at Mr. Goldstein's some of those fine
blooms of that splendid bronze colored
'Mum, Glen View, and blooms of equally
good character, of the well known white
'Mum, Wm. Turner.

James Rutig & Co., 43 W. 18th st., tell
us that they are receiving great numbers
of that favorite old 'Mum, Major Bonnaf-
fon, and also of that fine late variety,
Yellow Chadwick.

We met in the 18th st. wholesale flower
market last week, 0. Kramer of Kramer
Bros., formerly of Farmingdale, L. I., but
now of Ontario, Cal. Mr. Kramer ar-
rived in this city on Oct. 26, coming over-
land and stopping off at Chicago. He
tells us that they are growing in their
nurseries in Ontario, Statice and Scotch
Heather, which they are shipping as far
east as New York City, and that they
are trying out some bulbs, principally
Lilies and also Freesias.

A. L. Young of A. L. Young & Co., now
at 110 W. 28th st., tells us that he is very
well satisfied with his new quarters and
that he finds business as a whole, quite
active.

New York Florist's Club

Will meet Monday night, Nov. 13,
in the Pennsylvania Hotel, 7th ave. and
32d st., at 7.30 p. m. sharp. The meet-
ing room is on the mezzanine floor, Sev-
enth ave. front, and the room is marked
"Exhibit 3." The nominating committee
will submit their list of candidates for
office for the coming year. Exhibits of
Chrysanthemums or other seasonable
flowers and plants are invited. These
should be addressed to William Saville,
chairman Exhibition Committee, care
Henshaw Floral Co., 43 W. 18th st.

Chairman Gerlaird is making suitable
arrangements for refreshments. In order
to promote sociability, it is requested that
club members who are compelled to take
their meal in New York that evening meet
in the Fountain Room of the Pennsyl-
vania Hotel at 6.30 p.m., where a good
repast is obtainable at $1.25 per plate.

Carl Eugelmann, Saffron Walden, Eng-
land, who made a special trip to this
country for the purpose of attending the
recent F. T. D. Annual Meeting at Bal-
timore, and who has since visited other
American cities and Canadian points,
sailed for home last Saturday, aboard the
Olympic.

Mr. Engelmann seems to have enjoyed
his visit from every conceivable angle,
and has not hesitated to express his
pleasure at being in our midst.

Visitors at this office the past week
were Ernst H. Krelage of Haarlem, Hol-
land, president of the General Bulb Grow-
ers Society, and W. Warnaar of Warnaar
& Co., Sassenheim, Holland, ex-president
of the Holland Bulb Exporters Associa-
tion. These gentlemen arrived on the S.
S. Paris, Oct. 28, making the trip ex-
pressly for the purpose of attending the
bulb conference at Washington which took
place there Oct. 30. They certainly

showed much enterprise in making the
lengthy journey of over 6000 miles in all
so as to be present at this conference.
They left for Holland on the Holland-
America S. S. Rotterdam, Saturday,
Nov. 4.

Among the recent callers in this city
were William Geiger of Florex Gardens,
North Wales, Pa., and C. U. Liggit of
Philadelphia.

Saturday, Nov. 4, was "Forgetmenot
Day," Mayor Hylan having issued a
proclamation to citizens to show in a
small way, their gratitude to the more
than 3000 local wounded and disabled vet-
erans of the Great War by the purchase
of Forgetmenots on that day. Mayor
Hylan's proclamation contained one strong
observation: "Ingratitude is bad in an
individual as well as in a nation; it is
both shortsighted and dangerous. There
may be more wars."

Boston — Continued from page 1298

Great interest is being shown by florists
in the vicinity of Boston in the matter
of heating greenhouses with fuel oil. The
latest convert to the new way of heating
is Thomas Roland, who has bought oil-
heating equipment and is installing the
same under two of the boilers in his
place at Nahant. Peirce Bros, of Wal-
tham have been firing one of their big
Babcock & Wilcox boilers with oil for
the last month or so. The Quidnick Green-
houses, Quidnick, Mass., have also been
running on oil for some little time. Os-
good Bros, of Everett expect to light
their oil burners in a day or two, and
F. Holbrow of Dorchester has also about
finished his installation. There is no
doubt that these pioneers in the new way
of heating will find it satisfactory and a
first class investment. At any rate, these
several installations will be 'closely
watched and, if found to do the work as
expected, heating with fuel oil is bound
to receive an enormous boost in the very
near future, not only around Boston, but
also in other districts within the radius
of delivery.

Albert John Wollrath and Miss Lydia
Malvina Pallo were married at St. Marks'
Church, Winthrop St., Roxbury, on Oct.
22. Many relatives and friends attended
the reception, which was held in the
evening at 139 Beacon St., Waltham.

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph O'Donnell are re-
joicing over the birth of a baby daughter,
which came as playmate for a little
brother, on Nov. 1. Joe, who is the sales
agent for Thomas Roland, at the market,
is sporting a smile of some dimensions.

The many friends of William Nicholson,
the veteran Carnations grower of Fram-
ingham, will be pleased to learn that he
has almost fully recovered from the at-
tack of weakness which overtook him on
his return from the funeral of Paul
Dailledouze of Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr.
Nicholson was deeply affected by the
death of his life-long friend, and he could
not resist to be present at the funeral,
although having just recovered from a
sickness himself. The Dailledouze family
was greatly pleased to see "Pop" Nichol-
son.

Arthur Kidder^ the Violet grower of
Lincoln, is also again able to be about.
He has had a bad time of it for many
months, and made his first visit to Boston
last week. His brother Frank has taken
whole charge of the greenhouses while Ar-
thur lay sick, and he has them in fine
condition, with one very large house
planted to single Violets. These are fine
and give great promise of an early crop,
although they have had to go through some
severe freezing, and have, in consequence,
had some of the foliage singed. Four big
houses are filled with Stevias in 8in. pots.
These are in fine shape and one mass of
buds. Another house is filled with Freesias
and Callas. The brothers are just getting
ready to glaze a new house, 53ft.x43ft.

Eber Holmes, superintendent of Halifax
Gardens, is making plans for the erection
of two new houses early next Spring.
One of these will be 300ft.x40ft.. and the
other one will be a trifle smaller. The
increasing demand for the superior flowers
produced on the place makes the extension
imperative.

Chas. H. Totty of Madison, N. J., was
a visitor to the Autumn and Chrysanthe-
mum Show, at Horticultural Hall, Nov. 4
and 5, where he delivered a lecture on
hardy Chrysanthemums. On both days,
in his spare hours, he dropped in here
and there on his many old friends, includ-
ing those in the outskirts of the "Hub,"
even as far as Framingham, Lynn and
other towns.

B. Hammond Tracy of Wenham, Mass.,
has opened a store at 1441 Beacon St.,

Boston, near Coolidge Corner. The store
is located in a favorable part of the city,
and Mrs. Tracy is to take charge of it,
which fact alone should guarantee success,
on account of Mrs. Tracy's well-known
talent for artistic decoration and her
practical knowledge of flowers and their
appropriate arrangement. Her large circle
of friends wish her every success in the i
new undertaking.

Once in a long while, Thomas Pegler, \
foreman at Fred. Saunders' of Lewiston, |
Me., has to come to see the boys in the '
market. He was a welcome visitor to the '
market on Nov. 4, and at the same time '
took in the Chrysanthemum show in Hor- !
ticultural Hall. Thomas does not look a
day older.

The Gardeners and Florists Club of
Boston will hold a field day on Nov. 18,
at Halifax Gardens, where Eber Holmes
is superintendent. Mr. Holmes is an
old-time member of the club, and his es-
tablishment offers many chances for ob-
serving how first class Roses, Carnations,
Chrysanthemums, orchids and other green-
house crops are grown. The place also ;
includes a large and well-tilled farm, with ,
an extensive poultry farm. Mr. Holmes '
is much interested in the new discovery,
by Bernard Field of Plymouth, and is
making practical experiments on Roses,
Carnations and Chrysanthemums with
Radioactive Dextrogerm. Several trial:
plots are under way, and it will be most,
interesting to note the effects. Lunch is
to be served by two o'clock. Members can
reach Halifax Gardens either by train,
which leaves the South Station at 12.39
noon and stops right close by the green-
houses, or by automobile, going by way
of East Milton, Quincy, Hannover and
Pembroke. It is expected that members
will avail themselves of this opportunity
to gain a lot of valuable knowledge, and a
large number should be in attendance.

At a meeting of the newly elected di-
rectors of the Boston Flower Exchange,
Inc., Wm. C. Stickel was re-elected presi-
dent.

Interested visitors to the late Autumn
show of the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society, in Horticultural Hall, on Nov. 4
and 5, we|re Prof. Frank W. Rane of
Palm Beach, Fla.; Prof. C. L. Thayer and
S. C. Hubbard of the Massachusetts Agri-
cultural College at Amherst, Mass.

The store at 95 Summer St., where
Welch's, Inc., lately opened a retail es-
tablishment, has a sign "For Rent" in the
window.

The November meeting of the Boston
Gardeners and Florists Club will take
place in Horticultural Hall, on the evening
of Nov. 21, when nomination of officers
for the ensuing year will be on the pro-
gram. Interesting talks are to be given
on the same evening as follows: George
Butterworth, on "Cymbidiums;" Donald
McKenzie, on "Odontoglossums and Odon-
tiodas;" George LAnson, on "East India
Orchids, other than Phalaenopsis;" George
Lydiard, on "Dendrobiums.'' Talks like
these, by men who so well know their
subjects, should draw a good attendance,
irrespective of the nomination for officers.

Know Your Business

!

The attached, by F. C. Kelly, in The
Nation's Business, provides a moral. The
more a man knows about the things he
sells, the greater his business is likely to
be. The florist and the florist grower,
who make a study of the things they sell,. I
will never have cause to regret it:

"I once met a grocer in a small village,
who was doing more business than Jhe
average storekeeper in a town ten times
the size. His success came from the fact
that he was keenly interested in his work
far beyond the mere item of buying and
selling at a profit. He aimed to know
all about the hundreds of articles that he
sold, and in doing this he became the most |
widely read and best informed man in his
section. He got interested in the subject
of spices and read books about Ceylon
and other countries where his spices came
from. He read up on coffee raising, fish
canning and the fruit industry.

"Among other things he learned that,
while Prunes are raised throughout the
whole length of the State of California,
there is one little section where they are
better than those from any other part of
the State. He arranged to sell only that
kind of Prunes. Another thing he found
out was that fish canned in oil improves
with age. When he bought sardines he
put them in storage for six months be-
fore he sold them. Customers did not
understand why it was that his sardines
tasted better than those of exactly the
same brand bought elsewhere — but they
got into the habit of coming to his store.

LOSING CROPS, NO JOKE

A sudden freezeout may com-
pletely ruin your plants over
night or reduce their value by
hundreds or maybe thousands of
dollars. Why take chances
of losing crops? That is
just what you are doing if
you have no Standard
Thermostat. The Stand-
ard Thermostat will ring
a bell whenever your
greenhouse tempera-
ture rises or falls to the
danger point. You can
place the bell at your
bedside or anywhere

The Market

The market the past week has been
in poor condition owing chiefly to weath-
er conditions, an unusually warm _ spell
having affected both supply and quality of
flowers. Roses and Carnations arrive
soft; Carnations not having the vitality
or substance are unable to stand shipping
to any long distance. Then the ; heavy
consignments of white and yellow 'Mums,
together with Pompons are in opposition
to Roses. The Chrysanthemum season
has now started and will continue until
Thanksgiving. Then Roses and Carna-
tions will come in for their long season.
This has been the week of the Flower
Show, which promised to be one of the
greatest shows ever held in St. Louis.
The record guarantee fund and the big in-
terest shown by retailers in the form of
exhibits contributed largely to the suc-
cess of the affair.

The wholesale houses were crowded all
last week with stock offered at your own
price. Those retailers who were busy
with funeral work filled their wants
quickly and at very moderate figures.

The Windier Wholesale Floral Co.
opened its new store room at 14th St., and
Pine, Monday morning, Oct. 30. Quite a
few floral offerings were sent by friends
with wishes for success. The store room
is well fitted with roomy refrigerators.
Local growers had brought in some well
grown stock which was displayed to ad-
vantage on the entire floor space. Some
well grown Roses from the greenhouse of
J. F. Ammann at Edwardsville, 111.,
snowed up well, together with well grown
fancy 'Mums. Frank greeted all comers
with his usual smile and good cigars.

Miss Marion Bush of the Back Bay

prohibition has hurt the florist business.
She figures that often, after one cocktail,
men were ready to buy a dozen Carna-
tions. A double driuk would mean per:
haps a big bunch of Violets, and three
drinks would be good for a spray of or-
chids. Nowadays men just languidly ad-
mire the flowers and pass on.

Would You Like $200 to $500 Extra Profit?

Then read this letter from

one of America's leading Rose growers.*

"During last winter, which was a most severe one,
we had no difficulty in keeping the houses warm and the
amount of coal used was less than your representative
told me would be required in an ordinary winter."

A saving in operating expense paid this grower an additional profit. -
There are two big profits for the owners of

&<Jng

GREENHOUSES

The first profit is a direct result of
the sale of flowers or vegetables from
your range; the second profit is the re-
sult of lower operating and mainte-
nance costs. You can't afford to over-
look either of these if you want to get
the most from your greenhouses.

King greenhouses are built stronger,
last longer and grow more and better
flowers and vegetables than ordinary
houses, and the purchase price is no
more than for an ordinary house. Send
a postal card today for complete in-
formation which will be sent to you
without obligation on your part.

"The name of the grower will be sent on request.

When you think of good greenhouses, think of "KING"

HOW TO FORCE THEM.

As soon as received, pot them and carry the
plants after that into a frame; they are best off
if they do not freeze, they don't appreciate it.
Up to February they want anything but a warm

the house as near 32 degrees as possible and also
after that time don't subject them to a high

to be slowly forced into bloom for cut flowers for
late April and during May.

HAVE your Canna roots grown where they ripen
naturally, uninjured by frost. Roots remain in

roots dug in the Fall, that come out of storage

News Notes

Debutante functions, such as recep-
tions, coming-out and theatre parties, etc.,
furnished most of the business of the re-
tail florists this week. And a lucrative
trade it was, for the orders were for
dainty Fall bouquet baskets, Frenchified
paper covered bouquets and long stemmed
Premier Roses, which in this market take
the place of the far-famed American
Beauty. Some beautiful specimens were
provided for the debut of the popular
Anne Graydon, practically all of the four
hundred being among the donors. A num-
ber of similar functions are on the cards,
and it is expected that the local retail
trade will be kept busy well up to the
holiday period. Added to the natural run
of good business, was the Symphony open-
ing and a number of prominent club
affairs, not to mention the football games
at the 'Varsity and the dances which fol-
lowed.

Passing of Local Florists Society

What is regarded as a precursor of
the end of the time honored Cincinnati
Florists Society was much, discussed by
flower men here this week. It came last
Thursday at the season's first meeting of
the society, held at the store of H. W.
Sheppard, the president, when it was pro-
posed to form a retailers' organization
to take the place of the Florists Society.
The matter was laid over until Thursday,
Nov. 9, when an organization meeting of
retailers was held, so that they might
cooperate more closely with the growers.
Many of the Florists Society members
regret the passing of the organization, but
it is said that there is no place for it
in the plans of the more active of the
newer element in the trade. For some
time it has been dormant, although it
has a goodly sum in its treasury and has
never oeen hampered by lack of funds.
The development of a workable advertis-
ing plan, involving cooperation between
dealers, growers, commission men and re-
tailers is one of the principal problems
of the proposed organization. Up to this
time there has no unity of sentiment, but
it is hoped that a working basis can be
reached through the medium of a retailers'
organization.

Chairmen of the various committees for
the Rose and Carnation show to be held
early in the year, during the convention
of the American Rose and Carnation So-
cities, were named at the meeting of the
Florists Society, but the names were not
disclosed. President H. W. Sheppard
seemed to think that it would be better
to hold them until the chairman will have
an opportunity to accept and take steps
toward selecting their associates.

Retailers continue to complain of the
unusually warm weather, and wonder
what is the cause of it. Those who- are
illy equipped with coolers for their cut
flowers suffer much inconvenience and are
unable to purchase large stocks.

Third Annual Flower Show Albany
Florists Club

The annual flower show of the Albany
Florists Club was held at the Vincentian
Institute, Nov. 1-4, and was a great
success from every point of view. In
staging this show the Club departed from
its usual custom this year and engaged
the large auditorium at the Institute
where it was possible to make an exhibit
worthy of the name. This gave the people
of Albany and vicinity an excellent op-
portunity to see a real flower show and
to observe the capabilities of local flo-
rists in the various angles of this entranc-
ing profession. In previous years we
have attended faithfully the shows of the
club, which, owing to limited quarters,
were necessarily on a much smaller scale
and which possessed considerable merit,
but when we entered the great hall we
must confess that what we saw aroused
us to enthusiastic utterance.

While the show was primarily for pro-
fessionals, the executive committee al-
lowed private establishments to exhibit,
and we believe their judgment to be sound
in this matter, for upon entering the hall
the artistic grouping of rare ferns, foli-
age plants and orchids from the gardens
of William H. Sage was first to catch the
eye. William Maver, gdr. for the Sages,
certainly showed his skill to advantage
here and also in the collection of giant
vegetables, which, while conspicuously dis-
played, were nevertheless not allowed to
detract from the other exhibits.

On each side of the hall were booths
erected by the following florists: Flower-
dale Greenhouses, Arkay Florists, The
Rosery, F. A. Danker, The Albany Cut
Flower Exchange, Carpenter (Cohoes),
Holmes Brothers, Rosendale Flower Shop
(Schenectady), J. T. and M. Travison and
Henkes Brothers. At this juncture, while
we have only words of praise for the
show as a whole, and without wishing to
indulge in unnecesssary criticism, we
were disappointed to find that a number
of the Albany florists who should not
have neglected to embrace this opportun-
ity to display their prowess, nevertheless
failed to exhibit. We shall not discuss
the reasons for this situation as those
who did exhibit have every reason to be
proud of their efforts and certainly made
the show a success, but we shall cherish
the hope that another year will see every-
body in line.

In the booths and elsewhere about the
hall the Chrysanthemum, of course, pre-
dominated— large flowering, small flower-
ing, Singles, Anemone, pot 'Mums, short
stemmed 'Mums, long stemmed 'Mums. In
variety they were numerous, and if we
were to begin a list we should develop
into a catalog. There was very little to
choose from in the point of excellence
of display among the various booths as
all showed to wonderful advantage in
their arrangements of cut flowers and cor-
sages and plants. Nevertheless we must
mention especially the booths of F. A.
Danker, Rosendale Flower Shop (Schen-
nectady and Holmes Brothers. Mr. Dan-
ker showed strikingly, against a back-
ground of Chrysanthemums, a great blue
vase of Columbia Roses and late Dahlias
flanked by a splendid colonial bouquet of
Valley, Roses and Violets. A vase of the
new white Rose Angelus also received
much favorable comment. H. E. Eber-
hardt of the Rosendale received many
compliments upon the gorgeous and huge
baskets of Yellow Chrysanthemums and
the exquisite corsages and hampers which
adorned the table. The arrangements of
Cattleya Orchids, Valley and Sweetheart
Roses were very dainty and a great credit
to the exhibitor.

One of the most striking sights in the
hall was a huge vase of Bonnaffon, nearly
7ft. high, in the booth of Holmes Bros.

This could be seen all over the hall ai
excited many favorable comments, as d
also the very neat luncheon table with i
accompanying floral decorations. Holm
Brothers, not content with the booth ai
having the true spirit of the occasion i
heart, displayed many vases of Rose
'Mums and Carnations about the ha
Among the latter we noted such varieti

Of especial interest was the revolviiu

The Albany Cut Flower Exchange slurs 4
ed to advantage a collection of basket! \
Ruscus and various items in the suppl \
line.

While this was hardly a favorable tin \
to show much in plants, nevertheless Wi /
W. Hannell of Watervliet had a who]
table of splendid Cyclamen. These wei
all specimen plants and admirably a
tested the skill of Mr. Hannell as
plantsman. In addition to the Cyck
men Mr. Hannell also exhibited some mai
velous vases of Oconto, Sunglow and Rid
mond and some excellent ferns, _

Ferns from F. Goldring were also i
evidence and were grouped in very el
fective manner on the stage.

Among the outside exhibitors were A
N. Pierson, Inc., showing the new Rose
Commonwealth, and F. R. Pierson with ;
collection of Roses. J. H. Snyder ani
Ethan A. Coon of Rhinebeck were als
on hand with Marie Louise Violets.

The F. T. D. was not neglected for ai
entire booth was given over to this de
partment. An effective arrangement o:
miniature telegraph poles and wires, witl
an operator and a direct wire to Wester!
Union Office, showed the public that noth
ing had been overlooked.

Probably the most unique attraction ol
the whole show was the hunting lodge oi
Henkes Brothers. A small cabin wai
erected in one corner of the hall and
surrounded with evergreen tree, Oal
leaves, etc. Peering from all corner!
could be seen wild ducks, squirrels, rab-
bits, hawks and deer, while within could
be seen the hunter's couch, blankets, rifles,
shotguns and ammunition. While this ex-
hibition was not strictly floral it evoked
considerable interest and Messrs. Henkes
Brothers are to be congratulated on the
originality of their conception.

Continuing down the center aisle wei
also found the collection of palms, ferns I
and orchids from the gardens of Senator!
Henry M. Sage, showing the magnificent:
handiwork of his gardener, Albert Jen-
kins, -who is also president of the Al-
bany Florists Club. Of especial interest
were the giant clusters of Grapes from
the greenhouses of the Dean Sage Estate.

In addition to the floral displays enter-
tainment of the visitors was amply pro-
vided for. A string orchestra discoursed
modern melodies and at regular intervals
selections by the Albany Male Quartet
were given. Dan Gilmore, baritone, alsc
sang several numbers each night. Space
was allotted for dancing in order that all
tastes should not be neglected. We be
lieve that this show marks a new era in
Albany. It was the first time that a
flower show ever had been attempted on
such a large scale and we firmly believe
that those to come will exceed in scope
even the one just passed. Much credit
should be given to all concerned and par-
ticularly to the Executive Committee who
had a real job on its hands, as everyone
will easily believe.

The officers of the club are as follows:
President, Albert Jenkins; vice-president
J. W. Hannell; secretary, Thomas W
Kelliher. The Executive Committee, tc
whom all praise is due, was composed oi
the following gentlemen: F. A. Danker,
chairman; William Newport, Edward P.
Tiacey, H. E. Eberhardt, P. H. Newman,
Fred Henkes and W. W. Hannell.

His Conclusions

After Comparing With

Three Other Constructions

La Montagne & Sons grow Cucumbers at Woburn, Mass.
Last Spring they ordered one of our No. 2 Construction Iron
Framers, 41ft. 3in. x 200ft. 4in. During the process of
construction they wrote us stating their satisfaction. Now
that the house is completed and the vines 8 feet high, they
write again. This is what they say:

"Now that our greenhouse, which we pur-
chased from you, is completed and cropping,
I am glad to write that we are very much
pleased with it. The quality of the material
is the very best, as you said it would be,
and we feel that we have a house that will
last indefinitely with ordinary wear. The
service and courtesy which we received, both
from your Boston and Irvington offices, is

very much appreciated. It is indeed a pleas-
ure to do business with you.

"You may be interested to know that there
are three houses being built in this section,
of material furnished by three different com-
petitors of yours, and after carefully looking
over their material and construction, and
comparing values, we are confident that
Lord & Burnham Iron Frame house is the
best buy.'* s?

Let us add that Mr. La Montagne is one of the most careful
buyers we have sold this year. He not only made us sell
him our construction foot by foot, but almost inch by inch.
He was slow to buy, but equally prompt in letting us know
that he knew he had his money's worth. If we can build to
please him, we can build to please you. Let's talk it over
foot by foot, or inch by inch, whichever you say?

There was a time when it was thought iron frame greenhouses cost too much for vegetable
growing But careful cost comparisons have long since proved that although the iron frame costs
more at the start, the starting cost is practically the last cost. What a house costs to buy.
is only part of the cost. That cost and the added cost of continual repairs is the real cost

Finck's first Bound Brook house. The eaves
are 7 feet high. The glass is 20 inches wide, 7
lights to a rafter spacing

Finck believes in boarded sides. Believes they
are better for the plants, and has proved to
his satisfaction that they are cheaper than
concrete

Concerning William Finck of Bound Brook, N. J.
Famous for his Sweet Peas

Right at the very start, we want
to give Mrs. Finck the full credit
she so abundantly deserves in help-
ing her husband to be the success
he is. Likewise to compliment him
for being such a good picker in
selecting her for his mate and
partner.

Mr. Finck first had a range of
Hitchings houses down on Long
Island; but the salt air didn't agree
with him, so he sold out and built
in New Jersey, one of our full Iron
Framers 25 ft. wide by 150 ft.
long. Last year we built another
for him 46 ft. by 207, and one 25
ft. by 125 ft.

Mr. Finck isn't * much of a

talker. He's a doer. Not a

sayer. While the other fellow

talks, he grows sweet peas

In connection with Mr. Finck's
business, it's evident that nothing
is done by guess. Everywhere there
are indications of forethought, and
careful planning. He takes abso-
lutely no chances with his watering,
having worked out a simple ingen-
ious way of making it positive that
each plant gets just so much — no
more- -no less.

That his growing methods are right,
is proved by the fact that his sweet
peas always bring a notch or two
above the high market price. Just
naturally we like to think their be-
ing grown in our houses helps some.
You know we go anywhere for busi-
ness or to talk business.

American versus Foreign Bulbs

Experiences and Views of Practical, Successful Californian Grower

In connection with the recent F. H. B. bulb conference and the ever important question of domestic
bulb production, there is considerable interest for Exchange readers in an article by Carl Purdy, well
known plantsman and bulb grower of California, which will appear in the December issue of The Garden
Magazine. Through the courtesy of the editor of that journal we are able to publish the following generous
extracts from the article. Of course, the fact that Mr. Purdy's views will appear under the title, "Can
California Grow Bulbs ' for the Nation's Gardens?" indicates that they do not attempt to answer the
even more important (to the trade) query: How about supplies of these same bulbs for forcing V Upon this
phase of the subject we need not only more investigation and more knowledge, but also, perhaps, more of
the experience, system in grading and care in standardizing in which, as Mr. Purdy points out, foreign growers
still lead the majority of our producers. — Editob.

THE history of every one of the great special hor-
ticultural industries of the Pacific Coast is the
same. First a few experimenters and introduc-
ers. Oftener than not these pioneers are impractical
and visionary — they introduce some new culture and
attract attention to it. Next one of them with more
initiative scores some little success that awakens a
wide interest and causes other plantings by men
who are in large part untrained for the work, and
without regard to soil or climatic or market con-
ditions. Then comes a period of overproduction in
the best instances with utter failures in the least
fitted places — a large proportion of the plantings are
dug up and a great loss of capital is incurred.

But some of the localities are fit, and some of the
men in those localities are capable of inventing new
or adapting old processes and of either organizing
for distribution or getting cooperation, so the new in-
dustry gradually gets on its feet and then by increased
markets and reduced competition becomes really suc-
cessful and profitable. There has been a double
elimination — first of less persistent and unfit growers,
next of localities less adapted to that particular cul-
ture. Then follows a slow, stable growth and one of
the great industries of this Coast is solidly estab-
lished. * * *

Successful Pacific Coast Bulb Experiments

From Bellingham Bay, close to the Canadian line,
to Southern California, plantings from thousands to
well toward the million mark have been established
for at least a few years and have pretty well demon-
strated the climatic possibilities. That perhaps none
of them are paying proves absolutely nothing, for
the simple reason that the actual growing of Dutch
bulbs is only a part and a minor part at that of the
problem.

It has been shown that the Daffodil can be unus-
ually well grown at many points ; that at a number
of points along the coast line north from San Fran-
cisco Tulips can be grown well and that there are
places where Hyacinths can be grown to perfection.
No need to mention the minor bulbs such as Crocus,
Ranunculus. Spanish Iris and a host of others in de-
tail, because the Hyacinth is the most difficult of all,
and in a location where the three major sorts do well
the others can be fitted in. * * *

My own experiment was not made with the idea of
large commercial growing, and up to the outbreak of
the war there was such intense competition with
Holland as to offer very little inducement in this
line. However, I have proved that I can grow as
fine Daffodils, Tulips and Hyacinths as are in the
market, but there is no area of such land as I used
in their culture available for large plantings.

At Eureka on Humboldt Bay, the Cottage Garden
Nurseries made the largest commercial plantings so
far in the West under the direction of highly skilled
Hollanders. It was demonstrated that all of the
Dutch bulbs could be grown in fine quality there ;
but as the bulb experiment was only a part of a
much larger one, it really gives no data on the dollar-
and-cents side of the case. The original enterprise
failed, but that tells nothing of the commercial pos-
sibilities of bulb culture.

Xears ago about Bellingham Bay in Washington
several pioneers of the enthusiastic type planted
quite a number of Dutch bulbs. They grew good
bulbs and, after the first tests, Bellingham Bay was
selected by the Department of Agriculture as the most
promising point for their bulb farm. The Bellingham
Bay Experimental Station, devoted to bulb experi-
ments, has now been in operation for a number of
years. The actual planting and culture has been
under the direction of trained Hollanders and good
bulbs are grown. It has doubtless done much toward
finding cultural methods fitted to the Pacific Coast
and in testing varieties. It cannot, however, in any
way prove whether or not'the unsubsidized grower
can go into this business and make it pay. * » *

In the cultivation, curing and grading of Dutch
bulbs there is much to be learned. The small coun-
try with high priced lands, great cost of fertiliza-
tion and dense population has compelled the Dutch
grower to learn good working methods ; but the cheap
labor and intense conservatism there has kept him
from looking far for labor saving machinery. Very
many of the plantings are small and are mere plots
in small holdings and under conditions where close
hand labor is really a necessity.

Generally speaking there is very little in bulb cul-
ture which cannot be quickly learned from a com-
petent instructor excepting the matter of bulb dis-
eases. It will be some time before Americans train
men with so quick an eye to detect some of these ail-
ments which play a large part in the success or fail-
ure of Hyacinths in particular.

My observations of the Dutch bulb worker may be
summed up as follows : He is an honest, faithful,
conscientious plodder ; painstaking, without good
judgment,, and a slave to methods. The Dutch
bulb men do not encourage all-around workers, and
on large places few men know all of the operations ;
only in the smaller nurseries does a man get a full
training.

I do not hesitate to say that I can take a good
American boy or an Americanized foreigner and in a
moderate time have him delivering more good work
than the trained Dutchman. It might be difficult,
though, to fiud the American who was so systematical-
ly careful.

The war hit the bulb industry in Holland and any
present scarcity of bulbs is largely owing to the fact
that there was more profit in growing food than bulbs
and so the latter was inevitably depleted. Land is
held at very high figures in the Dutch bulb country,
and the cost of fertilizing for a bulb cycle is so
great as to stagger one. The land originally was
nearly all sea-bed, and naturally poor. There is, how-
ever, the one very material advantage of having con-
siderable areas of almost identical quality and un-
der exactly the same climatic conditions.

Lands in our West are much cheaper and they
are also infinitely more fertile by nature, but bulb
culture is wearing, and the Dutch bulbs are not pro-
duced under anything like natural conditions, but
are, as it were, a "much fattened" product, and while
the American grower would not have to fertilize as
heavily, he certainly would have to fertilize even the
best land, very soon. On the other hand, his cheaper
lands would allow labor saving machinery.

A Dutchman has remarked that the Dutch control
the bulb market not through advantages of climate
but in spite of great disadvantages. The Summer
rains give a long growing season after flowering and
with the moisture and fertilization tend to produce
large bulbs. The present trade standards are for
such bulbs. On the other hand bulbs do not always
ripen when they should and sometimes have to be
dug, partly cured and ripened artificially and that is
a process not tending to better quality. The Winters
are cold enough to necessitate Winter coverings for
at least some bulbs and to cause occasional Winter
losses.

U. S. Bulbs Ripen Harder and Earlier

In all that region from San Francisco north to
British Columbia bulbs ripen "hard" and much earl-
ier than in Holland. The Winters are mild enough
for bulb root growth to proceed continuously, while in
frozen ground this cannot be the case. The earlier
ripened bulbs flower earlier when forced, excepting
possibly at Bellingham Bay ; Winter protection is un-
necessary, and at all points work is interrupted very
little by Summer rains.

Much care in handling (we will say) Hyacinth
cut for propagation which is absolutely necessary -in
Holland's moist climate is unnecessary here. But
while our bulbs ripen earlier and flower earlier they

are normally smaller than bulbs grown under Dutch
conditions.

The only real test is in comparative plantings and
those are not easy to make. The Agricultural De-
partment could give some valuable data on that
point, yet I doubt if any test has ever been made
in which American bulbs (excepting Virginian Daf-
fodils) have had a fair chance. There are many
reasons for this, but the first is in the matter of grad-
ing. All Dutch bulbs are strictly graded and with
so large an output of any given variety grown
can furnish a sample of a thousand or ten thousand
bulbs of a grade that simply cannot be selected from
the small American planting of a few thousands.

The Important Factor of Grading

This matter of bulb grading and its principles is a
most interesting one and not at all understood pop-
ularly. From actual and very wide experience in an-
other line of bulbs I will give a few examples. Take
1000 bulbs as they come, a fine lot. This will com-
prise 150 bulbs easily above ordinary, running very
unevenly and varying as much as 300 per cent in size ;
733 medium sized bulbs very even, and 127 bulbs eas-
ily seen to be below medium, varying greatly although
probably all of flowering size. Another sample not so
good had 106 supers ; 408 fine mediums ; 436 under
medium and rather uneven, but still flowering. Gen-
erally speaking 405 bulbs out of the thousand will
fall below good salable.

Now, supposing you make five grades of these in-
stead of three. You will have an extra super grade
of say 50 in a thousand ; a moderately even super grade ;
a medium grade of fine standard bulbs ; and No. 3
grade fairly even; and still flowering and culls.
Several things are clearly apparent : first, a firm grow-
ing or handling a half million Keizerskroon Tulips
could put out a sample simply unapproachable by the
small grower; second, a large grower can market
all but the lowest grade. If he does not care to put
them out under his own name there are always mar-
kets for cheap things and the mixtures absorb a lot
The grower who has only a moderate number of bulbs
cannot deliver anything like as uniform a product,
and in this day uniformity is one of the most essen-
tial things. The man who forces bulbs wants a
standard bulb and the man who sells from a store
wants the same thing. If the grower delivered him
Al bulbs this week and a good medium next he
would have a life-sized crop of kicks from custom-
ers. Even if a standard is a low one it is better
than none, commercially speaking. The people who
buy from the cheapest bulb dealers are often quite
enthusiastic about their bulbs — simply because they
do not know any other grade.

Along with this clearly apparent uniformity which
the Dutch with their large product can attain there
is another sort of uniformity not at all apparent but
very material to the man who forces for sale. There
is a variation in quality and also in flowering time in
bulbs grown in the same region, but in different soils.
For the commercial bulb forcer the bulbs should not
only be of the same grade, but from the same soil.
This is not essential for bulbs for garden purposes
and the small variation of a week or so in a Tulip
bed would sometimes have the advantage of prolong-
ing the flowering period.

Hollanders Lead in Grading Standards

I think that I have said enough to show that in
a test of Dutch grown bulbs as against any American
competitor the odds would be in favor of the Dutch-
man simply on this element of grading. The only
equable test would be an ordinary size Dutch bulb
purchased at random from a reputable American deal-
er pitted against a sample from medium-sized Ameri-
can bulbs ; and in such a comparison (if the bulbs were
of the same size) the American sample would win
every time, because the American and especially the
Pacific Coast bulb ripens much firmer and harder.

The Californian bulb yielding a given sized truss
of Hyacinths as a Dutch bulb would ripen at least
25 per cent smaller and much harder. Daffodils from
my own garden of like diameter weigh as much as
one-third heavier than Dutch grown. So we arrive
at another impasse, for there can be no common
standard of measurement! I had better qualify that
statement — •unless the American in the West ferti-
lizes heavily and uses much water after the flowering
period in order to produce a large, fattened bulb he
will suffer in a comparison in which mere diameters
are standard. If he did so fatten he would impair the
quality of the bulbs.

In my own tests I have found that :

(1) The finest imported Daffodils were inferior in

bloom to my own product, and flowered at least a

week later. (2) The finest imported Tulips .average

far better than my average, but the very best of

LILY OF THE VALLEY PIPS

We regret to inform the trade that an unprecedented demand for Cold Storage
Valley Pips has exhausted our supply, which we thought would be ample to take
care of orders until this year's crop is ready for distribution.

The n©w crop is reported to be short in the best forcing grade pips. Consci-
entious shippers in Germany are already declining orders. Our own supply will
be smaller than last. year. Prices on early orders will remain about the same.
There is no ground for hasty action, but growers of Valliey should carefully
figure out what quantity they can use in 1923, and then proceed to compare
qualities as soon as the stocks arrive. It is advisable to place orders for the
entire season as soon as the right stock at the right price has been located, for
there will not be much cold storage stock carried over until next Fall by jobbers
and dealers, according to present indications.

We accept orders for new Valley now, subject to j'our approval of our quality.

"You will be pleased."

American vs. Foreign Bulbs

(Concluded from page 1319)
thern are not as good as the very best of my own.
(3) Size for size, my own Hyacinths produce finer
flowers than the imported. (4) I made a thorough
test of the Virginian Daffodils and found them as
good as the very best.

I am not prepared to state what is the most de-
sirable location, but there are points in favor of both
Eureka, Cal., and Bellingham Bay, Wash. These are
by no means the only possibilities. There is one
region as yet untried which might possibly have ad-
vantages over all others — the reclaimed lands of
the Sacramento and San Joaquin regions in Cali-
fornia— a veritable New Holland with soils Holland
never dreamed of. The region enjoys the best trans-
portation in the West. The available amount of land
would equal all of Holland.

Without question a large number of bulbous plants
can be grown there, but whether that number includes
Tulips and Hyacinths has never been proved.

Encouragement for the Small Grower

Throughout the country in small cities and large
towns there are florists who operate one or two small
greenhouses growing a limited supply of pot plants
in season, and buying the greater part of their cut
flowers from the wholesale growers. There is no
doubt but what this is a wise thing to do, because
they can buy their cut flowers cheaper than they
can grow them. However, during the Summer months,
knowing their trade and its needs, cut flowers can
be grown in their garden plots at a profit.

Most of these florists use hotbeds and coldframes
during the Spring for the growing of seedlings, and
as an overflow for their potted plants when the
weather becomes warm enough. These frames are
profitable — but they can be made more profitable by
using them twice during the year, instead of but
once. Market gardeners can make a long season with
their frames, starting early Lettuce seedlings, and
growing on for early sale, following this crop with
various seedlings such as Cabbage, Cauliflower, and
Celery for early sale. In many cases the frames have
been used for growing a crop of Cucumbers, Tomatoes,
etc., after the seedlings were cleaned out.

Florists on a whole do not try to get so long a
season out of their frames, consequently they do not
bring in the returns they should. After the Spring
seedlings and pot plants are cleaned out the beds
could be reset to Asters, Snapdragons, Zinnias, Calen-
dulas, etc., for their cut flower value. In the Fall
the frames can be cleaned of the surplus soil, making
a shallow "pit" and flats or pots of Hyacinths, Nar-
cissus and Tulips can be put into the frames, covered
properly, and supply at a fine profit, pot plants and
cut flowers during the Winter, beginning with the
Christmas flowering Due Van Tholl Tulips. Last
Winter one florist took advantage of the open
weather and cleaned a number of his frames contain-
ing the early flowering types of bulbs and refilled them
with another set of bulbs, such as Emperor and Vic-
toria Narcissus, Hyacinths, and Darwin Tulips for
Easter sale. Tbus the frames were kept busy, and
the greenhouses were used to make a quick turnover
of good quality flowers, the same space of bench
being used a good many times.

The location of the greenhouses in the accompany-
ing picture makes it ideal for growing of both warm
and cool natured subjects. The house in the back-
ground extends north to south, and is unprotected
from the west and north winds and storms, making
it much cooler than the new house in the foreground,
which extends east and west. The house in the back-
ground, 18ft. by 50ft., will be used for the growing
of Cyclamen, Primulas, bulbs, Cleveland Cherries and
such stock that grows well in a Carnation tempera-
ture. The other house, 25ft. by 60ft., will be used
extensively for growing rooted cuttings and young
stock that needs the best heat and rapid advance-
ment. When Spring comes both houses will be used
for general stock of all kinds.

The frames shown in front of the houses are used
to good advantage for growing seedlings, bulb stock,
etc., and being handy to the rear door of the green-
house, are easily reached, and stock can be quickly
transferred to benches.

There are many types of business that can be
opened to the public, and if successful, well and good ;
if a failure, soon replaced. But not so with the flo-
rist business. It is a long uphill fight to make a go
of it. The equipment such as greenhouses, frames,
sash, land that is fertile and rich, cannot be obtained
in a short time : it is a life time job, and it is a job
that needs continual planning for the future — not
just today or tomorrow.

The average florist who has not had the advan-
tage of previous experience and training, should do
the next best — see what the other fellow is doing —
and thereby learn a great deal at the other fellow's
expense. There are hundreds of men in this country
who keep saying that as soon as they possess a certain
amount of money, they intend going into the flower
growing game. They never get there; they are not
willing to put into the business what goes to make
it a success, sacrifice and hard work.

The picture with this article shows a portion of a
greenhouse plant which has been developed since
1917. The owners were without previous knowledge
or experience to any extent, and without funds. They
worked continually at their job, studied, and turned
their income back into the business, and hope soon
to be out of "rough water."

Ours is a wonderful business, and the small growers
can work their plant to a great advantage by syste-
matizing their space and supply. It is the small
community florists that actually reach the people.
Their influence in the community has a wonderful
effect. Ye florists; open wide your doors, have a big
welcome for everyone; interest the people who think
they do not have time to interest themselves in flow-
ers. Make your own place attractive and inviting
and it will not be long before you will find ready
customers for your flowers and plants. Work
your greenhouses and frames for a profit, make
them supply quality and quantity. Coal is high but
even so the small grower's business can be made more
profitable and less expensive to run by making it
take care of a greater amount of stock.

American Horticultural Society

This society was founded in Washington,
D. C, the present week. This is expected to
play a prominent role among our amateur horti-
cultural organizations.

THE complete slate brought in by the nominating
committee named at the last meeting was
adopted by the American Horticultural Society
at its meeting Nov. 11, after a rather spirited con-
test surrounding the presidency. The meeting was held
at the New National Museum. Richard Vincent, Jr.,
of White Marsh, Md.. was present as the guest of
the organization and delivered a brief speech on hardy
Chrysanthemums.

The slate brought in by the committee and which
was finally adopted, was as follows: For president,
Dr. A. F. Woods, president of the Maryland State
Agricultural College, College Park, Md. ; first vice-

president, Louis Hertle, of Gunston Hall, Va. ; sec-
ond vice-president, T. F. Pappe, of the Department of
Agriculture; secretary, Prof. D. Lumsden, of the Fed-
eral Horticultural Board ; treasurer, W. F. Gude, of
Gude Bros. Co., national representative of the S. A.
F. and O. H. The directors are as follows : For two
year terms — Charles Moore, Peter Bisset and C. E. E.
Gersdorff, of the Department of Agriculture ; George
E. Anderson of Twin Oaks; Robert Pile, of the Amer-
ican Rose Society, West Grove, Pa. For one year
term — Dr. Furmin L. Mulford, of the Bureal of Plant
Industry, in charge of Arlington experimental farms ;
J. Phelps, E. P. Schwartz, Mrs. L. H. Fowler and V.
E. Grotliseh.

Opposition to the naming of professional and com-
mercial men as officers of the new organization was
voiced by Frederick W. Coville of the Department of
Agriculture on the ground that this organization was
primarily for the amateur and it would be better
to have either an amateur or a retired business man
at the head of the society. He declared that the po-
sition of president of the society would entail a
great deal of labor and he thought it best that such
officer be free to devote considerable time to the
work. He proposed Louis Hertle, a prominent ama-
teur Rose grower. Mr. Coville said that his can-
didate could devote a lot of time to furthering the
aims of the society. He has attracted a great deal
of attention to his gardens at Gunston Hall and aside
from his standing as an amateur, he is a retired busi-
ness man who could apply business methods. The
nomination was seconded by Dr. Woods.

There was little further discussion on this subject,
it being explained by Messrs. Gersdorff and Bisset that
the Nominating Committee had given a great deal of
study to the matter, and a vote was quickly called
for. ' The result was 25 to 21 in favor of Dr. Woods.

Mr. Coville also opposed the nomination of Prof.
Lumsden as secretary because of his connection with
horticulture as a professional man. His nominee
was Mr. Pappe, who agreed to stand for election only
in the interest of harmony although he stated he fa-
vored the selection of the committee's nominee. The
vote was 24 to 20 in favor of Prof. Lumsden.

The secretary was instructed to cast the ballot of
the society for the others named on the committee's
slate. Prof. Mulford had been acting as chairman
of the society and. following the election, he turned
the gavel over to Dr. Woods.

"I think you have started something that will go
down in the history of American horticulture," de-
clared Dr. Woods in his inaugural address. "This
organization is going to do great things.'

A collection of Pompon Chrysanthemums was
brought to the meeting by G. E. Anderson, and distrib-
uted among the ladies later in the evening. — C. L. L.

Notes from Abroad

Our ''Indian Summer" in northwestern
Europe continues, except that the tem-
perature has several times been below
ireezing point, but the bright days and
absence of rain are all in favor of the
harvesting and threshing of seeds.

The flower trade in the markets has
improved considerably, although outdoor
supplies are shortening. Roses are still
good, and with Carnations form the prin-
cipal foil to the all pervading Chrysanthe-
mums. Genistas and Heaths in pots are
in increasing quantity, and Cyclamen are
beginning to appear. Some well grown
Primula obconica gigantea have attracted
attention. The very large flowers of deep
crimson and blood red hues are in striking
contrast to the insignificant, pale lilac
blooms of the original type of this useful
plant.

From the French growing districts come
varying reports as to the crops of salad
plants. Endives and Chicories are short
in the South, while in the West the large
breadths put out have not seeded very
well. Threshing has yet to be done, and
the crop may hardly be up to the average.
Sorrel is an in and out crop, but probably
sufficient on the whole. It is not known
how much will be put out for 1923, as
plantations are not made until November.
Dandelion and Chervil are very short,
and Corn Salad will also be somewhat de-
ficient. Radishes are a short crop, and
no large quantities are said to be in
stock. Parsley is gathered, but not yet
threshed; a normal result of this article
is expected. The cessation of the per-
sistent downpour in the western districts
has improved the prospects of certain of
the later blooming flower seeds.

In Holland the yield of flower seeds is
generally below average, and in many
articles the price has gone up consider-
ably.

From Australia it is reported that the
nursery trade is doing well. There ap-
pears to be a good crop of some sorts of
Bush Beans, notably of the Canadian
Wonder type, and offers are coming
through on a considerable scale. Im-
porters of Lucerne are experiencing some
difficulty on account of stringent govern-
ment regulations.

Seeds — From the Seed Balls — for the Trade

Sales on Friday and Saturday were par-
ticularly heavy, especially to commuters,
who were taking them home for outdoor
planting. The moderate rains have im-
proved conditions for planting during the
tine weather which has prevailed most of
the time, and have had no deterrent ef-
fect. Though the sales to amateur plant-
ers are individually small, the aggregate
is large and helps greatly to bring about
a cleanup of Dutch stock. Lilium gigan-
teum bulbs are steadily arriving; some
are immediately going out to present buy-
ers, and the rather small balance is going
into cold storage. Lily of the Valley pips
are expected to arrive this week. Gladi-
oli, Amaryllis, and Spiraeas are now in
stock.

Herman Kynveld of F. Rynveld & Sons,
61 Vesey St., arrived on Friday, Nov. 4
on the S. S. Mauretainia from Holland
via Cherbourg, France, and reports a
quick, but stormy voyage of five days. He
left Hamburg, Germany, where the firm's
Lily of the \ alley Pips were being packed
for shipping, about Oct. 28. He says that
high-class \ alley pips will be on the short
side this season, but that his firm is con-
gratulating itself on having secured early
a large quantity of the best of this year's
crop. Dutch bulbs, Mr. Rynveld reports,
were never sold out as clean as this year
and with the exception of a few varieties,
no more are to be had this season. He
says that they have had a very dry
Autumn in Holland during which bulbs
planted for next season's crop have not
made a normal root growth; he fears that
the unusually cold weather for this sea-
son of the year which was prevailing when
he left Holland will injure these bulbs.

R. H. Diedrich, secretary of the Heer-
mance Cold Storage Co., Greenwich St.,
Chambers to Reade, and also in charge of
the bulb and Valley pip storage depart-
ment of this company, said in a recent in-
terview that judging by the present ap-
plications and by the orders for space al-
ready booked, the outlook now is for the
storage of more Valley pips than in any
former year. These pips, according to
information received from importers, will
begin arriving this week. The Heermance
Co. congratulated both its patrons and
itself on the fact that, with its improved
facilities for storing Valley pips, it is
able to handle them in a satisfactory man-
ner for an increasing number of importers.
Japanese Lily bulbs are already coming
in and for their storage also this com-
pany believes it has unsurpassed and
perhaps unequalled accommodations.

When we called on W. E. Marshall &
Co., 166 West 23d St., on Thursday of last
week we found Mr. Wheeler of the com-
pany hard at work in his office and the
outer store full of private gardeners, who
had come into the city to see the two
flower shows. Mr. Wheeler says bulbs
have been moving well and that a cleanup
is clearly in sight. He was trying when
we called to do some work on the 1923
seed catalog, but had found, he said, so
far little time to devote to it.

Vaughan's Armistice Day Window

Vaughan's Seed Store, 41-43 Barclay St.,
had on Nov. 11, an Armistice Day window.
A grave of Sphagnum moss was covered
with red Poppies, and at its head stood a
white cross. The background was of
American flags. The legend was "Do not
forget those who died for you." Gas
masks, shells, bayonets, etc., were shown.

Vaughan's reports this week that its
first carload of Lilium giganteum bulbs
has arrived and is being distributed to
fill orders. The crop is reported extreme-
ly short, with practically no bulbs in
sizes above 7 to 9in. being obtainable.
At the firm's Michigan farm they are now
starting to load the first car of Gladioli
for shipment East to the New York store,
a large part of this carload having already

We have again harvested a record-

we do not want to carry them over or sell
them in bulk, giving our patrons a real bar-
gain. We want every cut flower grower to
take advantage of this sale, as many vari-
eties are only in limited quantities and will
be sold only as long as they last.

All these varieties are the Winter-
Flowering Spencer types and can be grown
indoors or outdoors the year around.
They will produce more and better flowers
outdoors than the old late Spencers, be-
cause they bloom 3 to 4 weeks earlier,
before the hot weather sets in. Plant
after the Chrysanthemum and get a full
crop for Easter. Plant in cool frames or
outdoors just before the freezing begins
and get a full crop in May for Decoration
Day. Plant out of doors in the Spring
and they will bloom early in June.

been sold. Numerous wire orders for
Dutch bulbs from all over the country as
far west as Seattle are coming in and
the general demand for them continues
strong. The lifting of Spiraaas at the
local nursery has begun, and the firm ex-
pects to begin shipping this week.

Travelers are sending in large orders
for Spring bulbs and also for Onion sets
grown on Vaughan's large Morton Grove,
111., farm. Holly growers have reports
that recent frosts have ripened the ber-
ries, that the quality this season is good,
and that they have started to get cars
for shipping. The first carloads are ex-
pected to arrive about Dec. 1 and others
Dec. 12. The house has received during
the past week from France two shipments
of Immortelles, one on S. S. Canada and
the other on S. S. Syria. Travelers or-
ders for these and for other Christmas
goods, in which Vaughan's specializes at
this season, are large.

Stumpp & Walter Co., 30-32 Barclay
St., report that the demand for Dutch
bulbs continues strong and steady over
counter and through the mails. Sales of
greenhouse requisites, such as sprays,
fumigants and fertilizers are steadily in-
creasing, and all seasonable sundries are
moving well.

A large and steady counter and mail or-
der trade in Dutch bulbs is the leading
feature at the MacNiff Horticultural
Co. this week. All seasonable sundries
also are meeting with an active demand.
Frank C. Woodruff of S. D. Woodruff
& Sons, 197 Washington St., reports that
travelers orders are coming in fast, es-
pecially for Peas and Beans; the latter is
beyond a doubt in all varieties the short-
est crop in years. Carloads of Peas and
Beans are now coming in and others
are in transit from the Pacific Coast and
New York State. A carload of Onion
sets, which arrived recently has been near-
ly all snipped out. Seed Potatoes are
moving slowly because the growers in the
North are holding stocks at a price that
farmers in general are unwilling to pay;
it is a question who will win out.

Building Occupied by S. D. Wood-
ruff & Sons Collapses

S. D. Woodruff & Sons, wholesale seeds-
men and seed growers, own and occupy
the five-story building at 197 Washington
st., New York, and also occupy the build-
ing at 195 Washington st.

At 9.40 a.m., on Tuesday, Nov. 14, while
a force of employees were storing Onions
on the fourth floor of the latter building,
this floor collapsed and earned down with
it the third and second floors (both of
which were empty) and also the first
floor down to the ground level.

Solomon Midler, a trusted employee
and foreman in the seed department, who
has been with Woodruff & Sons for about
ten years, and who was in charge of the
job, was taken out of the rums dead;
William Pearlman, Eugene Murphy and
Thomas Sawyer were rescued and taken
to the Broad st. Hospital seriously in-
jured. Two negroes, Ben Blake and
James Scott, who with the injured men
were storing the Onions under Mr. Mid-
ler's directions, escaped uninjured. The
rescue work was carried on by a platoon
of police, who were soon on the scene of
the catastrophe, and by firemen brought
there quickly by a four alarm, since it
was feared that fire might follow the col-
lapse. This fortunately was not the case.
The work of rescue was carried on vigor-
ously, notwithstanding the volume of
"tear gas" arising from the crushed
Onions, which, according to the daily
press, necessitated the use, by the rescue
squad, of gas masks.

City authorities are investigating to
ascertain the cause of the ruin. Frank
C. Woodruff of the firm says that the
building had been inspected regularly, and
the floors pronounced safe for such loads
as the firm placed there.

The loss of life and the injury to men
and property are covered by insurance.

Chicago Seed Trade

The counter trade continues active at
all the stores. The wholesale trade, in-
asmuch as French and Holland bulbs are
concerned, is practically over. There has
been a good cleanup on many varieties
with most of the dealers. A few, how-
ever, report small surplus in Tulips.

A. Miller of the A. B. C. attended the
St. Louis Chrysanthemum show together
with Vincent Niel. An attractive exhibit
of Gladioli bulbs and other stock was on
display from this firm. Mr. Miller left
Sunday for Minneapolis and St. Paul to
attend the Chrysanthemum show there.

A. Henderson of A. Henderson & Co.
returned the past week from a trip to the
large eastern cities. While there he vis-
ited his son who in attending the Boston
College of Technology. Louis Finnermann
represented the house at the St. Louis
Flower Show. Joe Marks will be _ the
firm's representative at the Twin Cities
exhibition this week.

Vaughan's Seed Store moved two car-
loads of L. giganteum bulbs the past week.
The big crop of Gladioli bulbs is coming
in from the farms in fine condition. It
requires a large force of workmen to
house and clean these bulbs. The house
had a fine exhibit of bulbs, plants and
general supplies at the St. Louis Flow-
er Show, with Geo. Tomlinson in charge.
J. C. Vaughan left Thursday for Nash-
ville, Term., where he will address the
Tennessee State Florists Association. He
stopped a couple of days at St. Louis to
see the show and mingle with friends
there.

The American Bulb Co. has finished
harvesting its crop of Gladioli bulbs at
the Hazel Crest farm. The crop has
turned out very fine. A cleanup on all
Dutch bulbs is reported.

The W. W. Barnard Co. has made ar-
rangements for a direct by mail advertis-
ing campaign to its retail trade. The
first issue has gone out in the form of
a neat blotter and a letter of instructions
on matters pertaining to seasonable mat-
ters in gardening. These will be sent out
from time to time, giving practical sug-
gestions.

Philadelphia Seed Trade

Last week the store trade brightened
up a bit with several firms. The local
bulb situation indicates a scarcity of cer-
tain kinds of Narcissus. Representatives
of several Dutch firms called on the trade
last week.

The Moore Seed Co. has a new idea in
vegetable tying — a machine operated by
foot power which automatically adjusts
itself to the size of a bundle to be tied.
It uses either string or tape. We spent
half an hour playing with the mechanical
marvel and felt it was worth while.

The Henry F. Michell Co. is handling
burlapped evergreens this year for the
first time. Much has been said in the
Nursery Department of The Exchange
lately "about the opportunity for retail-
ing these in the cities. Mr. Michell ex-
presses himself satisfied with sales and
thinks it will be quite a feature when
the idea is more thoroughly worked out.

Hosea Waterer reports excellent re-
sults from his exhibit in the foyer at the
Chrysanthemum Show.

The W. Atlee Burpee Co. is doing a sur-
prisingly large business this Fall, accord-
ing to reports. Sweet Peas are selling in
larger quantities every year. In this
connection it might be said that on the
cut flower market Burpee's Mrs. Kerr is
proving popular.

Cincinnati Seed Trade

Not in seven years has the season been
so propitious to the sale of bulbs of all
kinds as this season. This statement was
made this week by one of the leading bulb
and seed men of Cincinnati, and he based
his assertion on the fact that the Fall
weather has been ideal for bulb planting.
He said the first bulb stocks of his com-
pany had been exhausted, and that replace-
ment orders are expected the end ot this
week or the first part of next. The most
popular varieties of bulbs, according to
this authority are bedding Hyacinths and
Darwin and Breeder Tulips. These Hol-
land bulbs have given the most widespread
satisfaction. The replacement orders ex-
pected are particularly to satisfy the late
mail orders from garden clubs and wo-
men's organizations generally. Orders
from farmers' wives have been heavier
also than formerly, and dealers say that
the call for bulbs from retailers in small
towns has been unusually large.

The Fall seed trade is about over, with
the exception of future orders not being
taken for January delivery. These are
coming from growers and farmers direct,

and dealers say the size of the orders
and cash payments indicate that farmers
in the Ohio and Miami Valley sections
have a plentiful supply of money. Orders
from Kentucky are exceptionally large, due,
it is said, to the success of the Burley
Tobacco pool, which has distributed some
millions to farmers on their Tobacco hold-
ings. The Bluegrass pool is also said to
have benefited the buying power of the
central Kentucky farmers.

Daniel Carmichael, manager of the bulb
department of James McCullough Sons
Co., is making a tour of the North and
East, and reports general interest in
bulbs. E. L. Hawes.

The Firm of Kelway

The latest issue of the Horticultural
Advertiser contains some interesting data
regarding James Kelway & Sons, the well
known plant growers and wholesale seed
growers of Longport, England.

James Kelway was born in 1815, and
it was in 1851 he started in business, after
a lifetime at horticultural work. His
aptitude for this work is shown by the
fact that at 19 he was a foreman over as
many men as his years.

James Kelway almost at once began to
introduce new plants; he took England
by storm with his hybrid Gladioli, and
followed rapidly with his wonderful
strains of Calceolaria, Hollyhock, Del-
phiniums, etc. He was the originator of
the florists' Cineraria and also introduced
the first of the frame or English Cucum-
bers.

His exhibits in Great Britain and at
Paris won him innumerable medals. He
was particularly fortunate in having _ a
son, Wm. Kelway, who had the commercial
instinct strongly developed. With his
father he worked for new plants, and he
saw to it that they were spread through-
out the world.

Wm. Kelway was born in 1839, and is
still active at 83. Peonies and Delphini-
ums were always his special pride, and he
also made the Gaillardia and the Pyre-
thrum.

James Kelway the second, too, has also
devoted much time to Delphiniums and
Peonies. He was the originator of the
first race of Gladiolus Primulinus
hybrids. It was his brain that conceived
the commercial adoption of color borders
of hardy plants, thereby creating a big
demand for all kinds of perennials. The
famous Kelway's Manual of Horticulture,
not now published, was wholly written by
the present James Kelway.

The firm usually employs about 150
hands, and apart from the nursery of
some 50 acres devotes about 100 acres to
special seed stocks.

Kelway's seeds are only sold at whole-
sale to seedsmen; private growers and
market growers are not catered to. It
will be recalled that Kelway & Sons,
some years ago, supplied the U. S. Gov-
ernment with one of the largest consign-
ments of garden seeds ever put out by a
single firm.

Week at the Capital

By CLARENCE L. LINZ

Better attention is to be given by the
Post Office Department to the mail of
business men in strange cities attending
industrial or other conventions, under
plans which have just been announced by
the Post Office Department. Instructions
have been sent out to all postmasters to
give special attention to letters addressed
to persons in their cities as officers or
members or "in care of" any organization
or association holding a convention. Post-
masters were advised to keep an accurate
list of the dates of conventions scheduled
for their cities and at the proper time to"
see that orders were given to insure
prompt and proper handling of mail re-
ceived for delegates and other persons at-
tending the meeting.

Collection of all taxes due to the Gov-
ernment for the calendar year 1917 and
the immediate institution of suits where
voluntary payment cannot be secured,
has been ordered by Commissioner of In-
ternal Revenue Blair as an emergency
step to save the Government a large sum
of money before the 1917 taxes become
outlawed in March, 1923.

See to Your Mailing List

The use of obsolete or inaccurate mail-
ing lists by business concerns is respon-
sible for a large part of the delay and
non-delivery that occurs in the mail of
commercial houses and firms, according to
an announcement just made by the Post-
Office Department.

This condition is highly detrimental,
both to the post office and to the business
houses affected, as it greatly adds to the
clerical expense of handling the mails and
results in a serious economical waste
through the loss to business men of ad-
vertising matter, catalogues, etc., when
delivery is not effected.

The Department urges that business
men and commercial concerns make every
effort to obtain accurate mailing lists in
the first place, including house numbers
and street addresses, and then see to it
that such lists are kept up to date. It
is pointed out that the expense of ob-
taining and maintaining an uptodate and
correct list is usually far less than the
loss suffered in postage and advertising
matter through the use of incomplete or
incorrect addresses.

Bldg., Baltimore, Md., was recently in-
corporated by Clifton S. Brown, Calvert
Blag., Baltimore, and others.

well Smith of Calvert Bldg., and otheTS.

The Market

The local cut flower market this
week suffered a relapse after the huge
boost in business brought about by All
Saints' Day. It seems as if the bottom
fell out of the business this week, es-
pecially in the down town sections of the
city. Florists are resting up after their
strenuous week's business. Things had
been moving along at a lively pace since
the opening of the Fall season and this
is the first real set-back. No doubt it
will be only temporary and activities will
be resumed next week.

So much money is spent in the city for
All Saints Day that people, as a rule,
feel that they must wait a short while
before investing further in the same line
so that the main bulk of the business dur-
ing the past week was more of a necessity
order, and baskets for the sick filled a
prominent part. The Dengue fever seems
to take a fresh hold in the city, brought
about, perhaps, by the sudden change of
the weather and diphtheria is increasing
among the school children.

The Chrysanthemum market is gradually
assuming its normal proportions and the
white Robinsons, most of which were lo-
cally grown, are slowly being sold off.
During All Saints Day rush, the market
was greatly overloaded with white while
colored Chrysanthemums, especially pink,
were at a premium. The cutting of the
local blooms except by the large nurseries,
has come to a standstill so that florists
are being given an opportunity of dis-
posing of these at leisure. Shipments of
the colored varieties are now coming in
sufficiently fast to care for the small
trade.

A few Sweet Peas have made their ap-
pearance in the flower shops; the first of
the season. White Daisies, too, are being
shown in practically all shops after an
absence of several months.

Florists Elect Officers

All temporary officers were perma-
nently elected at a meeting of the New-
Orleans Florists Club held Friday night
at the flower shop of U. J. Virgin, Canal
st. The newly elected officers who were
unanimously chosen, include: J. G. Schatt-
maier, president; Peter Ackermann, vice-
president; P. A. Chopin, secretary, and
TJ. J. Virgin, treasurer.

The club has been holding weekly meet-
ings since its founding over a month
ago, but has been so busy mapping out its
All Saints Day advertising campaign that
the election was deferred until this time.
The most important discussion of this
meeting was in regard to cooperative ad-
vertising for Thanksgiving Day. The
florists were well pleased with the re-
sults brought about by their joint ads
appearing in the daily papers just previ-
ous tc All Saints Day and the same plan
will be adopted and carried out in regard
to Thanksgiving.

P. A. Chopin was appointed a commit-
tee of one on publicity in addition to his
secretarial duties. It was decided to hold
monthly meetings from now on and the
next session will take place on Dee. 1
at the shop of Mr. Chopin. At this time,
it was expected that the constitution and
by-laws will be reported on and
adopted.

An interesting interchange of views
on the business done on All Saints Day
was an important part of the meeting
and a number of things to be planned in
the future were discussed. The serving
of refreshments added a "tasty" touch to
the evening's business and brought the
session to an informal close.

GardenJSociety]Meets

The first meeting of the season of
the New Orleans Garden Society was
held last week at Gibson Hall, Tulane
University, when James McArthur of the
department of nature study of the public
school addressed the members. He told
how the society by prizes, invitations to
visit gardens and in other tangible ways,
had encouraged the planting of gardens
by school children. "You cannot imagine,"
he said, "how children who have lived in
small homes appreciate the privilege of
visiting such gardens as those which won
prizes last year. It is a bit of fairyland
to them."

Eugene Roberts spoke on the growing
of Dahlias. Mrs. G. R. Westfeldt, Jr.,
was appointed chairman of the program
committee. J. L. Many, Jr., was made
chairman of a committee on constitution
and by-laws with H. J. Neale and Prof
R. S. Cocks.

Lecture onJJotany

One of the most interesting lectures
on practical botany heard in New Orleans
for some time was given this week by
Harold J. Neale, landscape architect and
superintendent of Audubon Park, before
150 Nature study teachers, public school
principals, members of mothers clubs and
others interested in plant life. Mr. Neale
conducted the class through the Popp Gar-
dens and identified shrubs, flowers and
trees, stopping at many of the plants and
explaining how each could be propagated
and simultaneously giving formulas for
the extermination of insects found on the
plants. The class next proceeded to
where a survey of seed boxes was made.
In the greenhouses Mr. Neale demon-
strated the propagation of cuttings in the
sand.

News Notes

J. C. Schattmaier of the Metairie
Ridge Flower Shop has just completed in-
stalling a new fountain in his store to re-
place the old one which has been disposed
of. The new fountain is held in a wicker
basket on a high pedestal and sprays over
ferns artistically arranged around the
side. The new fountain is very pretty in

effect and creates a charming atmosphere
in the store.

Max Scheinuk reports that he sold out
on All Saints Day and has been enjoying
a good business ever since. Mr. Scheinuk
raised some- few thousand Chrysanthe-
mums which were sold in his own shop.
He has some fine specimens of Radiance
Roses now in cut.

Charles Eble this week showed in his
windows the first Sweet Peas of the sea-
son and these mingled with fern and or-
chids and a basket or two of Roses made
an interesting display of color.

C. W. Eichling has added several new
girls to his designing and shipping depart-
ment to take care of his large Fall busi-
ness; these were all busy turning out a
large funeral order on the writer's visit.

Orlando, Fla.

It looks as though Florida was to have
a real flower show next Spring. Orlando
is the place and some time in April is
the time. This is to be a State show,
and a joint effort of the State Florists
Association and the State Horticultural
Society. It is probable that the State
Federation of Women's Clubs will co-
operate and help bring in the amateur
exhibits. An outdoor exhibit of orna-
mentals and a floral parade of decorated
autos are among the things projected.
F. W. Fletcher of Orlando is chairman
of local committee of arrangements and
superintendent of exhibition; N. A. Rea-
soner of Oneco is chairman of the joint
committee of fifteen, and a director.

Columbus, Ga.

Nov. 9. — After a long siege of hot
weather and no rain of any account since
August, we have been favored with cool
nights and heavy dews, so that vegetation
has revived to some extent. The ground
being powder dry, it is almost useless to
attempt transplanting in the open, how-
ever. No frost as yet; the lowest point
reached by mercury was 42 deg.

With the exception of an occasional
funeral order, business is almost at a
standstill. Chrysanthemums are being
offered — good stock — from $1.50 to $5 per
doz. Very few sold at the latter figure.
The city gardens are literally alive with
good spray stock, and in some cases very
good single stems. These are sold on the
streets and in department stores at ri-
diculous prices. When the public has
not been educated to a high degree, a
'Mum is a 'Mum, whether large or small,
so that it will be a losing game for a
florist to grow any but the late varieties,
and a limited quantity of them.

Of Roses, some good stock is seen in
the open, and will probably be till after
Thanksgiving, so that no high prices can
be obtained for No. 1 stock. The average

E rices are $2 to $3 per doz. Carnations
ring $1.50 for good stock. Dahlias are
gone, although taking the season through,
they have proven profitable.

Everybody who has a garden is plant-
ing Sweet Peas, so that the town will be
deluged next year.

W. E. Joy reports business fair; he
seems to have the bulge on the market,
being located near the leading hotel
where most of the society events occur.
The others are not by any means jubilant.
I hope my next report will be more
favorable. W. C. Cook.

Knoxville, Term.

Nov. 10. — The first week of November
showed considerable increase in business.
Society life has taken on new life and
frequent parties and entertainments are
creating a demand for flowers.

The weather is still warm; there has
not been sufficient frost to kill outside
stock and, consequently, the market is
still glutted with cheap, inferior stock.
The general public, however, is beginning
to tire of this class of stock and the de-
mand now is chiefly for choice greenhouse
grown flowers.

The Tennessee-Vanderbilt football game
played here on Nov. 4 was an occasion
demanding lots of flowers, and practically
every Chrysanthemum was disposed of.
These colleges are old time rivals and the
annual football game is always an im-
portant feature and an occasion of much
enthusiasm on the part of football fans.
The game is always profitable to the flo-
rist whether played in Knoxville or Nash-
ville. It was our good luck to have the
game played here this year, but our sor-
row to have lost the game. Tom Joy of
Nashville and J. C Anderson of Lebanon
were here for the game.

Some of the Knoxville florists and
their friends enjoyed a delightful even-
ing on Nov. 2 — a Wienie Roast — given by
Karl P. Baum on their farm near Bear-
den. Among those present were Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas J. Poe, Prof, and Mrs. G.
M. Bentley, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Stair,
Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Timmons, Mr. and
Mrs. W. H. Roberts, Mr. and Mrs. Karl
P. Baum, Karl P. Baum, Jr., Mrs. F. W.
Goddard, Miss Elizabeth Goddard, Curtis
Hansard, Haden Snodderly, Paul Hope,
Bruce Howell, Homer G. Price, Mr. and
Mrs. J. F. Hill, Henry Riser and R. E.
Mapes. Southro.

Baltimore, Md.

The Market

Last week, the heavy arrivals of
Roses and Chrysanthemums almost
swamped the wholesale market, and the
spasmodic buying made but a slight im-
pression. By Saturday the accumulations
could not be handled and much stock was
carried over. It is to be hoped that this
week will bring cooler weather and bet-
ter business. There is an abundant sup-
ply of everything in the flower line, with
the exception of orchids, Gardenias, Cal-
las and double Violets.

News Notes

Isaac H. Moss and Young Jim, Mr.
and Mrs. Robert W. Johnston, Charles
M. Wagner, Fred C. Bauer, Willie and
Irwin Bauer attended the dinner and
flower show at College Park on the even-
ing of Nov. 6. Many Washington flo-
rists were also in attendance. The exhi-
bition was the finest ever staged by the
University of Maryland.

Flower Shop, is handliag a fine lot of
Double Violets from New York growers.

Out at Isaac H. Moss, Inc., last week,
Young Jim tried his level best to beat
into our head the names of some very
handsome specimens of well berried shrubs
and trees that we admired extravagantly.
Ligustrum lucidium, the Evergreen Privet,
with purplish black berries is the sub-
ject. The line of specimen trees with
clusters of red berries along the road,
are commonly called Washington Thomas
(Craitagus cordata). Callicarpa purpurea
with its purple berries was another
beauty. My, but it seems a sin to cut
these beautiful branches, but how lovely
and artistic they work up into baskets
and vases of Chrysanthemums or Roses.

We ran into Harry Beard in our walk
around. Now, if you watch this boy close
enough, you will find what you are look-
ing for. "How's the nursery end?" we
ask. "Up to our neck and going deeper,"
says Harry. "Had to add a new truck to
our fleet of delivery cars to help get the
orders out on time. That's the truth."

The American Jobbing Co. of 314 West

Oscar Egerton of Glenn Arm, Md., has

We are happy to report the rapid con-
valescence ' of young Flois C. Van Reuth,
who was operated upon at St. Joseph's
Hospital for appendicitis on Tuesday last.
We heard today that he is expected home
by the last of this week.

George J. Aurheim, one of our popu-

cloth covers is remarkable for several rea-
sons. It embraces a wonderful collection
of verses, ancient and otherwise, relating
to the Iris, which goes to prove that the
author of the book, Walter Stager of
Sterling, 111., is not wholly tied down to
matter of fact. Indeed, we imagine that
he is an idealist; he is a man of advanced
years, and has devoted long attention to
the Iris. Presumably a man of means,
when he decided to publish the results of
his researches and experience, he did so
without thought of making a profit on
the book. It is printed on the highest
quality paper and the illustrations are
good, yet it is published at the modest
sum of $2, a figure that would not cover
the production costs unless done in quan-
tity.

The book is divided into 14 chapters,
the first being devoted to the "Iris in
Song." Here can be found the finest epics
on the Fleur de Lis in verse and prose.
Over 20 pages are devoted to this feature,
and Walter Stager himself gives us a
pleasing pair of stanzas. The origin of
the name "Fleur de Lis" is also largely
explained in verse from Shakespearian
and other writings.

One hundred pages or so are passed be-
fore Mr. Stager gets down to the practical
side of the subject; he shows the struc-
tural features and permits us to see the
Iris with a more scientific eye. Even in
this chapter, the songsters of the past
have been given a place. Planting, pro-
tecting, enemies, breeding, propagation
and a symposium of varieties follow in
succession. All in all, it is a book that
will please the practical grower and if
he possess a love for the lighter side,
he will revel in its pages. We have no
knowledge of such a book on Iris being
published before and only an altruist
could issue such now. It deserves a place
on every bookshelf.

E. Buxton's 38th Anniversary

Nov. 6 was a gala day, long to be
ernembered by Geo. E. Buxton of Nashua,
V. H. It was the day when he celebrated
he 38th anniversary of entering in the
[orists business. He invited a number
)f his florist friends and the members
of the Nashua Rotary Club, of which he
is a popular member, to a lunch at his
establishment on top of Concord st.,
Nashua. A happy crowd of over 60 men
sat down to the richly laden tables which
were improvised on top of the benches
in one of the greenhouses near the of-
fice. An atmosphere of good cheer and
friendly feeling welcomed all the guests
and was further increased during the
_aeal by the singing of many numbers from
the Rotarian's song book, which songs
were accompanied by a piano in the ad-
joining office room. Mr. and Mrs. Bux-
ton received many congratulations and no
end of good wishes for a happy and pros-
perous future.

The interior of the greenhouse was
neatly decorated with American flags and
Rotarian banners and streamers. On the
tables, stood vases filled with Roses, Car-
nations, Snapdragons and flowering plants
of Chrysanthemums. The table service
was a novel and unique innovation, con-
sisting entirely of goods made at the pot
factory of A. H. Hews in Cambridge,
Mass. Seven inch glazed earthen pot
saucers served for dinner plates; smaller
saucers took the place of side dishes and
for butter and dessert, while glazed pots
of different sizes were used to serve sher-
bet and coffee. The coffee was poured
from daintily painted and decorated
watering cans and only forks, spoons and
knives were of the regular order.

Among the florist guests were Major
P. F. O'Keefe of Boston, Walter E. Morse
of Lowell, George W. Noyes of Needham,
W. H. Hathaway of Brockton, Samuel J.
Goddard of Framingham, Harold A. Pat-
ten of Tewksbury, Wm. W. Powers of
Nashua, James H. Clark of Manchester,
Gustave Thommen of Somerville, C V
Kimball of Nashua and Frank L. Clou^h
of Manchester. Henry Penn of Boston tele-
graphed his regrets for not being present
and Carl Engelmann of Saffron Walden,
England, sent a radio from the S. S.
Olympic, which sailed from New York
two days before, as follows: "Hearty
congratulations, my thoughts are with you
today."

P. F. O'Keefe was the principal speak-
er. He gave an interesting talk on the
power and benefits of advertising For
some reason or other those of the diners
who thought they could stand a second
helping of the most excellent frozen pud-
ding, were requested to raise their hands
and, would you believe it, almost all
raised their hands. Mr. Buxton was de-
clared the greatest pudding manufactur-
er, atter it leaked out that he had cooked
that concoction himself. The hoorahs may
not exactly, have raised the roof of the
greenhouse but must have loosened the
putty and tacks considerably. But then
the lighting and working of 60 or more
lumigators must have done some good to
the plants.

Mr. Buxton was a young man when he
started his first greenhouse, on Vine st ,
in 1884. He was one of the florist pio-
neers in his State and moved to his pres-
ent fane location on Concord st., about
20 years ago. Since then he has built
up a representative modern establishment
of some 40,000ft. of glass, where he grows
Carnations largely and also a general as-
sortment of such flowers and plants as
are required for a considerable retail
trade. His greenhouses, which adjoin the
handsome residence and grounds, are now,
as they have always been, models of neat-
ness. Cleanliness and white paint are
important factors in the growing of first
class plants and flowers. The large, airy
boiler room even, is as clean as a whis

Three of the houses are entirely filled
with Carnations, These show a high
state of cultivation and are pleasing to
look at covered with buds and flowers.
the varieties are Beacon, Ward Aviator
Crystal White, Matchless, Nancy Doris'
Maine Sunshine, Laddie and The Lark
JNo need to say more; they are all fine and
healthy. Mr. Buxton says thev are the
best Carnations he ever had. " Quite a
tew benches of Chrysanthemums are in

evidence, including Bonnaffon, Chieftain,
Chas. Rager, Richmond and other stand-
ard sorts, besides a dozen or so varieties
of Pompons, Anemone and Singles, Callas.
Snapdragons, Myosotis, Cinerarias, Gera-
niums, Fuchsias, Begonias, Cyclamens and
a good many other items are noted in
passing.

The guests of Mr. Buxton were much
pleased to meet his mother, a sweet old
lady, quite spry and young looking in
spite of her 90 years.

Wm. R. Nicholson, Framingham

William R. Nicholson, Framingham,
may rightfully claim to be the largest and
best Chrysanthemum grower near Bos-
ton. He has grown this year, about 150,-
000 plants of the large-flowered, standard
commercial varieties, besides several large
and small houses of Pompous, Anemone
and Singles. The whole establishment is
just one big Chrysanthemum factory, but
"Will" not only grows quantity; he knows
better than that and his mind has been
set on quality for years ever since he
forsook Carnations and began to flirt
with the queen of Autumn. He knows it
is nothing else but quality that will
bring the bacon home. Therefore he can
now take or send his flowers to Boston
and insist on a price which makes the
grower who goes for quantity only turn
green with envy. To be able to receive
$12 for a dozen at wholesale, or even $9
means you must produce the goods. It
means you must be up to the times; you
must know what are the best new varie-
ties and you must try them out on your
place and in your market or stores.

That is just what Mr. Nicholson has
been doing for a long time and that is
why he can ask and get phenomenal
prices for his blooms when the ordinary
grower thinks he is doing wonders by
selling his own blooms for from $3 to $4
a dozen. The visitor to Mr. Nicholson's
place will notice two things in particu-
ual: first, he will be surprised at the
amazing number of varieties and second,
he will be equally amazed at the uni-
versally high grade quality the plants
display. There would be no sense in men-
tioning all the varieties grown here; there
are too many. In one house alone there
are probably 30 or more varieties of the
best Chrysanthemums. Mr. Nicholson aims
to supply the market with blooms from
the earliest, meaning the very earliest, to
the very latest day of the Chrysanthe-
mum season. Not only that, but to have
the finest sorts and in as many colors and
forms as possible. His White Surprise,
Brutus, Bonnaffon, Marigold and any
number of other varieties have simply
never been done the way he does them
a? £ • ls resP°nsible for the fact that
Mr. Nicholson can prove he has averaged
$1 per sq. ft of space, so far, this season.
It is the same with the small-flowered
sorts, of which he grows a large num-
ber of varieties.

As soon as a bench is cut over it is
planted to some other crop which is com-
ing on in pots or flats. Among these
crops are Gypsophila elegans, of which
immense quantities are grown every sea-
son. Also Snapdragons, with a great pre-
ponderance of whites and yellows that
have originated on the place; remarkable
improvements over other varieties. Then
there will be two houses planted with
Delphinium Belladonna hybrid, of which
almost an acre has been growing in the
field during the Summer and which have
been lifted and heeled in in frames. Sweet
Peas are also coming along in pots and so
are thousands of Mr. Nicholson's cele-
brated strain of Myosotis. A trial is go-
ing to be made with a planting of Clark-
las and Salpiglossis, which have done so
well for the last few years, will be con-
tinued.

Next Spring we will very likely hear of
some building going on as Mr. Nicholson
intends to replace two of the oldest houses
with a large modern structure. The way
he talks one might think he did not know
whether he will do that building, but he
kind of smiles and remarks- "Well I
guess I will." q T^

Florist 'a Exchange,

Box 100, Times Square Station,
New York, N. J,

Dear Sir:-

I have reoelved a oopy of Fritz Bahr'e "Commerolal
Floriculture" and have read the same through with absorbing
interest from cover to cover.

It is oertalnly a unique and a wonderful book, a
book that I believe no one exoep* Fritz Bahr himself oould
have begun to write. The book is full of matters of interest
to every florist and should be in the hands of every man in
the trade, to be read oarefully and to be oonsulted at
frequent Intervals, whenever any of the thousand topioe
treated of arise in the business. It goes without saying
that any advloe given by Fritz Bahr la authoritative and is
to be relied on.

One admirable thing about the book ls the plain
and concise way in which everything ls handled. So muoh of
our horticultural Literature is written from suoh a teohnlcal
and scientific standpoint, and is filled up with so much
that the average man cannot understand and ls not interested
in, that it ls a pleasure to see a book written In euoh
plain every-day language, and so understandable to everybody.
He has eliminated everything which we do not want to bother
to read, and yet has fili d this big volume full of solid
meat.

Every florlet should have this book on his desk,
and will have constant ocoasion to oonault It and to profit
by the advice given In It.'

Truly you:

VSR

If Willis N. Rudd, grower and plantsman of highest renown, thinks
this way about Fritz Bahr's "Commercial Floriculture," surely the most
expert among our readers will find some note (worth $5) in that copy
he has decided to purchase for his own personal use.

May I say that I find The Florists Exchange most interesting, particu-
'-^rJy '!Jne Week's Work" and the Nursery Department. And, again, both
Fritz Bahr and yourselves are to be congratulated on the production of
"Commercial Floriculture." I have hoped for some time to find a book
as good as the old Scott's "Florist's Manual," but brought uptodate, and now
you have it.

North Dartmouth, Mass. Raymond A. Pettet.

Mr. Pettey represents the type of florist for whose benefit "Commer-
cial Floriculture" was primarily conceived.

Thus it is evident that the new book is appreciated by the expert as
well as by the grower who has much to learn.

Chrysanthemum Poisoning

A New Jersey reader reports being
much affected by Chrysanthemums. In-
tense irritation and burning on the face,
which continues for several days, usually
follows after working among the 'Mum
plants. Have any other readers been so
troubled and if so, what remedy is used?

We have reard of people being so af-
fected by Chrysanthemums and even by
Geraniums, the effect being not unlike
Primula obconica poisoning. Doubtless the
volatile oils of these plants affect tender
skins and some form of alkali or counter
irritant is needed to bring relief. Bruiser
Orange peel rubbed on the skin gives re-
lief to some sufferers of Primula poisoning.

that the glorious Chrysanthemum _ lends

'Mums are conspicuous by their absence.
Not that there are no well grown speci-
mens, but that one bloom to a plant kind
they have gone out, this section anyway.
Writing of 'Mums, the Montreal Gar-
deners & Florists Club had their annual
show on Wednesday last. Only two ex-
hibitors thought it worth while to stage
flowers, but their exhibits were very good,
what there was of them. Some new
Pompons were noticed. The local paper
files show that on Nov. 9, 1892, 30 years
ago, almost to the day, the Montreal Gar-
deners & Florists Club opened its fourth
annual Chrysanthemum show in the Wind-
sor Hall. (This was open to the public.)
Something is wrong that we now depend
on the florists' store windows to educate
the flower loving public. I am sure that
our private growers could infuse some en-
enthusiasm into their respected employ-
ers. After a lapse of 30 years, this glori-
ous flower should be seen in quantity in
some of our large halls and be open to the
public view.

Armistice Day Doings

The fourth anniversary of Armis-
tice Day was celebrated in Montreal very
much like other cities in the British Em-
pire. The large Cenotaph in Dominion
square was the scene of a large gathering
when General Sir Arthur Currie unveiled
the Cenotaph, the outstanding design is em-
blematic of the Daughters of the Empire
(Imperial Order), made of flowers. The
Rotary Club of Montreal sent a large
memorial piece. Others were placed there
by the Red Cross Society, St. George's So-
ciety and kindred societies. A large
number of Poppy wreaths by friends and
relatives of our fallen heroes were sent
also.

The civic tribute which Mayor Martin
deposited at the base of the Cenotaph
was composed of flowers, made especially
for this purpose by the children in the
French-Canadian Orphanages in France,
founded by Miss Guerin, who is in charge
of the ex-service men and their depend-
ents at the Memorial Workshops, Inc. The
red, white and blue flowers made by the
children only arrived the Wednesday pre-
vious, and were then fashioned by the ex-
soldiers into a large plaque, with its four
corners carrying the Union Jack, the tri-
color, a Maple and an Oak leaf, respec-
tively. Mount Royal.

News Items

Armistice Day was celebrated in
Toronto by decorating all the monuments
and soldiers' graves with beautiful floral
designs. Practically all the florists bene-
fited from this demand to a greater or
lesser extent.

Worthless cheques are being passed in
Toronto, and one florist who lost $21
wishes to advise other florists to make
sure there are funds to meet cheques from
unknown individuals. In this particular
ease, a cheque for $28 was presented in
payment for $7 worth of flowers, the bal-
ance being paid to the customer in cash.
On presentation of the cheque, it was
returned N. S. F.

During the week there were birthdays
of several prominent individuals, who
were remembered with flowers. A well-
known business man who celebrated his
77th birthday, received a basket of 77
Roses. A lady who was 80 received a
bouquet of 80 Roses, in addition to several
other baskets and bouquets.

J. J. Higgins finds stock plentiful. There
are lots of 'Mums, and some growers have
a full supply of Roses. There was a good
last minute demand for designs for Ar-
mistice Day.

The Steele Briggs Seed Co., Ltd., with
head office at Toronto, has been registered
also in the Province of Saskatchewan,
with a capital of $500,000.

J. Lochie Wilson is in charge of the
seed department in connection with the
Royal Winter Fair at Toronto, Nov. 22
to 29.

G. W. Warren reports business good.
His store was a complete bower of 'Mums
on Saturday, but a steady run of custom-
ers cleared them.

Proposed Changes in the Regulations Under the
Destructive Insect and Pest Act

SOME time ago the Canadian Entomological Department was strengthened by
the formation of what is called a Destructive Insect and Pest Act Advisory
Board. This rather laborious name really covers a very useful body of
officials, its evident desire being to cooperate as far as possible with the nursery-
men and importers with a view to both keeping out and stamping out insect pests.
Several proposed regulations have been the subject for some criticism and more
discussion, out of which there is every hope of mutual agreement. From time to
time it is necessary to regulate or prohibit imports of certain plants, a case in
point being the regulation covering the importation of Corn from several States
in the necessary effort to successfully combat the Corn borer. As is fairly well
known on both sides of the border the borer is a source of much anxiety and any
effort to overcome it is worth while.

How Regulations Will Affect Importers

There are a number of proposed regulations concerning the admission of
nursery stock into Canada from the United States that are probably unknown
to a large number of those interested. One proposal provides "that any Canadian
importer desiring to bring stock over the border shall secure a permit from the
Advisory Board, the application for which shall give such particulars as quan-
tity, kind, value, the State and locality where grown, as well as the port of entry.
Entry is to be permitted only after the Collector of Customs at the port of clear-
ance has this permit on file." It is, of course, obvious that restricted or prohibited
stock will not be allowed to enter, the proposal just referred to making this
practically impossible.

How Regulations Will Affect Exporters

Under the new regulations, if adopted, "all shipments of nursery stock must
have attached to the invoices a certificate of fumigation, issued and signed by an
authorized Federal or State official, stating that the stock has been duly fumi-
gated by the official or his authorized agent. In addition to this, all nursery
stock shipments are to have attached to invoices a certificate of inspection
signed by an authorized Federal or State official, each certificate to state that
the stock covered has been duly examined and that the shipment has been found
apparently free from pest or disease." Greenhouse grown plants, herbaceous
perennials, Strawberry plants and Raspberry suckers, bulbs and conifers, are
exempt from fumigation, but any of these that can be classed as nursery stock
are subject to inspection. Delivery of shipment is to be refused unless the certifi-
cates called for are attached to invoices.

The Need for Cooperation

It is obvious that the proposals call for more care and attention to detail
than has previously been necessary and to avoid future inconvenience it is well
to give thorough publicity to the regulations in view of the possibility of their
early adoption. How they will impress the United States nurserymen has yet
to be learned, but the latter's ideas on the subject would be of interest. From
the point of view of the Canadian importer they are probably an improvement,
though it is more than likely that the small buyer will be badly "stung" in the
matter of securing permits until the rule becomes widely known. The larger
importer will probably be pleased at the prospect of fumigation at port of entry
being done away with, provided fumigation at the shipping point is established.
The fumigation at entry port is ruinous to stock, a definite percentage of loss
having to be invariably allowed for in this connection. Whether or not the pro-
posed regulation insisting on home fumigation and inspection by an authorized
official is workable, has to be ascertained, but given a little cooperation on the
part of buyer, seller and the departments, there should be no real difficulty.

Other Instructions

It is, perhaps, not generally known that conifera, Holly and Laurel (either
growing plants or cut branches), will be prohibited entry from a number of
States, while special inspection is to be demanded on other shipments from these
States. All five-leaved Pines are prohibited entry under any conditions, as are
also all species and varieties of Currants and Gooseberries, excepting from the
State of New York into the Province of Ontario. All Berberis, with the exception
of Thunbergii, is prohibited.

Importations from Other Countries

The changes proposed are not nearly so vital as are suggested in connection
with imports from countries other than the United States. Some of these give
cause for real alarm and all the influence of the Canadian nurseryman is being
exercised in the hope that the matter may be arranged with mutual satisfaction.
That the growers in the Dominion are sincere in their efforts to assist the De-
partment and that their nurseries are not in bad condition is proved by the fact
that some of the inter-Provincial regulations have been removed by the Depart-
ments concerned without any request from the nurserymen themselves.

Might it not be possible in the near future for conditions to be such that the
border will be as wide open one way as the other? With similar export condi-
tions operating in Canada as are now proposed for the United States why could
not Canadian grown stock pass over with positively no danger entomologically?
Canada has been largely a buying country, but if she has anything to sell surely
she is able to exercise as much skill and care as any other country in the distri-
bution of stock that is clean, healthy and free from the pests that all real plant
growers are anxious to exterminate.

There are a number of minor propositions worth noting, but these and the
operation of import taxes must be left for a future article.

W. E. Geoves.

Tidy & Son are showing some beautiful
bulb bowls and vases, for which there is
a big demand. Big stocks of 'Mums are
being received and are selling well.

Dunlop's, Ltd., had an especially at-
tractive window display this week. Their
large window was filled with immense
blooms of 'Mums.

Mr. Krauter of K. J. Kuyk Co., palms
and bulbs, New York, was a recent visitor
to Toronto.

Miller Bros., 324 Lauder ave., Toronto,
have let contracts for a flower showroom,
office building and garage, costing $75,000.
These buildings are immediately to the
east of the present office, and they front
on Lauder ave.

E. Sanderson, formerly of the Little
Grey Flower Shoppe, is now traveling for
Miller Florists, Ltd.

The Little Grey Flower Shoppe has
been enjoying a good trade both for
Thanksgiving Day and Armistice Day.
They are showing some fine Baby 'Mums,
as well as large Japs. This shop is now
being operated by Miss Meachem alone,
Mr. Sanderson having joined the Miller
staff.

The Arcade Florist had a big trade on
Nov. 5. Special advertising for Saturday
business is run in the Thursday evening
papers and is very effective in bringing
customers to the store, as well as tele-
phone orders. During the past week,
made up designs were shown; there was
a big demand for them Nov. 11. The
Arcade Florist has put in a new, large
refrigerator.

J. J. Higgins has had his truck re-
painted a dark blue trimmed with black,
and gold script lettering. David Post has
been appointed manager of his Parkdale
store. Mr. Post was with Miller & Son,
Ltd., and before that with F. K. Prouse.
Previous to that he was with the Dale
Estate.

H. G. Dillemuth's staff has had a busy
week, while Mr. Dillemuth has been
stalking deer in the North. They are
showing in the window some purple single
Mildred 'Mums from their own green-
house, and a choice lot of 'Mums from
the Jennings range. Other 'Mums shown
by H. G. Dillemuth are Mrs. Ben Nagirroc
and Booth; these are yellow and bronze
varieties, which are coming in plentifully
and are of fine quality.

Mr. Bickerstaff has opened a flower
shop on Danforth ave., near Greenwood
ave.

Thanksgiving Day in Canada was ob-
served on Nov. 6. Mrs. Percy Waters
reports that the business of Saturday pre-
vious, Nov. 4, was the best Thanksgiving
trade yet. Mrs. Waters has a large store
on Danforth ave., and carries a big stock.
She handles a great many telegraph or-
ders, both incoming and outgoing, as well
as a regular trade over the counter.

Canada at Large

More than 12,000 Tulip bulbs have been
planted by the St. Thomas Horticultural
Society, in the campaign to beautify the
city of St. Thomas.

The entomological branch of the Do-
minion Department of Agriculture, Ot-
tawa, has issued a bulletin entitled "In-
sects Affecting Greenhouse Plants." It
says that up to the beginning of the pres-
ent year the Chrysanthemum midge has
been found in the greenhouses of Ontario,

§uebec, British Columbia and Nova
cotia. The midge was first observed at
a large greenhouse at Ottawa, introduced
on some plants brought in from the United
States, although it is undoubtedly of Euro-
pean origin. A female midge kept under
observation by the branch was most
active, running about on the new leaves,
the favorite place for egg laying being
the leaf hairs. The eggs are frequently
numerous enough to give distinct reddish
coloration to the parts of the plant on
which they are laid. It has been thor-
oughly controlled in some greenhouses in
Ontario by thoroughly spraying infected
plants with a mixture composed of one
and one-quarter teaspoonful of nicotine
sulphate, an ounce of soap and one gallon
of water, the spraying being done every
second day for a period of about six
weeks.. In view of the fact that the adults
emerge during the night, it is advisable
to do the spraying as late in the afternoon
as possible. On some varieties the per-
sistent spraying causes a yellow discolora-
tion of the leaves. The plants, however,
soon outgrow the injury. As the midge
can only be introduced on new stock, it
can be kept out of greenhouses by care-
fully examining all new plants and burn-
ing any that are found to be infested. Ques-
tionable cuttings should be dipped in
nicotine sulphate solution as recommended
for spraying. G. C. K.

Duty on Soft Coal to Canada

Washington, D. C. — Because the Ca-
nadian tariff on coal provides a prefer-
ential rate on soft coal in favor of Great
Britain, application has been made to
the Treasury Department, under the re-
taliatory provisions of the new tariff law,
for a countervailing duty on all coal im-
ported into the United States from Can-
ada. The tariff law, as passed by Con-
gress, provided for the entry free of duty
of all coal, but the law also contains a
provision that where a country imposes
duty on imports of coal from the United
Sta'tes, the Treasury Dept. shall apply
similar duties to coal coming from such
country to us. Hard coal to Canada is
admitted by that country free of duties,
but the Canadian tariff imposes a duty on
soft coal from all countries, but also pro-
vides that imports from the United States
shall pay a higher rate than those from
England. Certain classes of Canadian
coal are imported largely into the border
States of this country, and probably a
great deal of it finds its way to the green-
houses in those sections of the country.
The florists in the North, therefore, would
probably be affected by any step taken
by the Government to retaliate for the
preferential duty afforded England on coal
to Canada. C. L. L.

Hartford, Conn.

The Market

Nov. 13. — The usual glut on 'Mums
has come and gone. Stock is now just
keeping pace with the demand, but prices
are still inclined to be on the low side.
From present indications, Mums at
Thanksgiving will be scarce, at any rate,
the medium priced ones. Pompons, es-
pecially, will be none too plentiful. By
the way, it would seem that here as in
many other localities, the popularity of
the Pompons is increasing by leaps and
bounds.
The Week's Business

The past week has seen the great-
est amount of funeral work in many a
day. The deaths of four prominent busi-
ness men of the city being recorded. The
largest funeral from a floral standpoint
ever held in Hartford, was that of the
Hon. Morgan G. Bulkeley, ex-governor
and ex-senator and president of the
Aetna Life Insurance Co. Although the
family desired that flowers be omitted,
nevertheless, his popularity brought forth
floral tributes running into thousands of
dollars. Perhaps the majority of the work
was through the F. T. D. from the com-
pany's branch offices and countrywide af-
filiations.

Hartford Florists Club

The regular meeting of the Florists
Club of Hartford was held after a dinner
at the City Club, Wednesday evening,
Nov. 8. Robbins B. Stoeckel, the Com-
missioner of Motor Vehicles of the State
of Connecticut, spoke very interestingly
of the work of his department. Jos.
Coombs gave a fine synopsis of the F. T.
D. proceedings at Baltimore; this was of
great interest to us all. A nominating
committee was appointed to bring in a
ticket of new officers for 1923 at the De-
cember meeting. A. F. L.

It costs but 760 to fumigate
a greenhouse 30 by 200 ft

Simple to use —

ASIDE from its deadly certainty, the
most satisfactory feature of Hall's
Nicotine Fumigator is its remarkably low
cost. One cone of this deadly insecticide
fumigates 7000 cubic feet. Nine cones will
rid a greenhouse (30 by 200 ft.) of plant
lice, thrips and similar insects at a cost of
only 75 cents. Larger or smaller green-
houses can be fumigated at proportionately
ow costs.

Hall's Nicotine Fumigator is a specially
prepared fumigating compound saturated
with pure Nicotine. It lights quickly,
burns evenly and will not go out. No waste
— every particle is consumed. And it re-
tains its strength indefinitely.

Ten-pound tins, $8.50; 2'/2"Pound tins,
$2.50; 1 -pound tins, $1.25. Buy from your
dealer. If he is not supplied, send us your

Dracaena terminalis and Pandanus
Veitchii

In these we have two most desirable
plants for the Midwinter holidays. While
there is a variety of fine Dracaenas, D.
terminalis is one of the best red colored
sorts. For Christmas, you want plants rang-
ing from 3in. up to specimens in 5in. or 6in.
pots. You are not likely to sell many as
single plants, but for made up baskets,
you need the larger sizes, and the smaller
ones for dishes and pans. Pandanus
Veitchii is, and always has been one of
the most beautiful of variegated foliage
plants and it isn't unusual that some
people keep large plants in perfect shape
in their homes. While not to be recom-
mended in all cases small plants of this
Pandanus make a firm center plant for
the fern dish and again help to make a
basket arrangement whether of flowering
or foliage plants, more attractive. Take
a shallow basket holding a 6in. fern dish,
use a small Pandanus in the center sur-
rounded by Asparagus plumosus or Adian-
tum and Roman Hyacinths with a few
Winter berries and a little red ribbon on
the handle and you have a most suitable
Christmas gift. Don't try to do busi-
ness without these two valuable plants;
they are not expensive and as with a lot
of other socalled foliage plants, are good
any time after the holidays.

Cinerarias

Keep Them Shifted

The biggest plants will soon be in bloom.
Cinerarias are useful stock around
Christmas and it is right now that plants
in 2%, 3 or 4in. pots will make their best
growth. They should be kept shifted,
making use of good soil and plenty of
drainage. The foliage of a Cineraria is
unsightly when yellow or deformed; lack
of nourishment, keeping the plants dry or
allowing them to become stunted always
will cause yellow leaves and greenfly will
finish them. Keep shifted and allow
plenty of space between the plants. A
house of about 48 degs. will suit them
nicely, but you can grow fine specimens
in one of 50 or go as far down as 40, only
use more care in regard to watering.
Plants in their flowering pots and pot
bound, are always benefited by light doses
of liquid cow manure. Dried blood lightly
worked into the surface will help to give
dark green foliage. You can still purchase
small stock of Cinerarias out of 2s or
2V2s, and grow them on for February
and March flowering. With Easter fall-
ing on April 1, you will find Cinerarias
come in handy and if you have a good
batch of C. stellata, the Star Cineraria,
these can be used to advantage as cut
flowers, especially the lighter shades of
blue and rose.

Roman Hyacinths

For Christmas Flowering

When once you have heavily rooted
bulbs it is an easy matter to bring them
into bloom. This holds good with prac-
tically all French and Dutch bulb stock,
excepting, of course, Darwins and a few
other late flowering varieties. Roman
Hyacinths, bulbs which have been in the
flats or pans for the past five or six weeks,
are well rooted by this time. It is dan-
gerous to expose them to freezing out-
doors; they should come in and be placed
in a cool house. If wanted for extra
early flowering, place them toward the
end of this month in strong heat, but
those you want to use for Christmas for
dishes should be kept in a house of
50 degs.; let them come along slowly to
keep the plants short. By the end of
the month, place a few flats on the return
hot water pipes.; don't let the flats come
in contact with pipes. Set them on 1x2
strips. A few days here and they have
to go back to the light, but can, later
on, be given a few more days in heat if
necessary. But the slower they come
along, the shorter the plants and better

Creating a Demand Well Worth Considering

If you are a retail grower in a country town, pay good attention to
patrons who demand the best no matter what it costs. At the same time
work harder to find ways and means to cater to those who cannot afford
the best.

Create, with less expensive flowers and plants and proper advertising,
such a demand that every home in your town gets into the habit of using
flowers. The patron good for a one dollar order today, may be in the
ten dollar class tomorrow, the next day or next year.

for use in dishes. What you wish to cut
from, will need longer stems and a house
of 60 or over won't hurt. Such stock,
however, is almost useless for madeup
dishes or small baskets. Watch your
plants and time them just right. Move
back and forth in order to have them
right for Christmas week.

Asparagus piumosus and Table
Ferns

Green and red are the colors for
Christmas. While we have to prepare
by stocking up well with Poinsettias, red
Cyclamen and berried plants, of no less
importance are palms, ferns and foliage
plants in the larger sizes to be sold as
specimens and also 2% in. and 3in. pot
plants of Asparagus plumosus, socalled
table ferns, Adiantums and even Aspara-
gus Sprengeri. One can use such stock
to good advantage in dishes and madeup
baskets. Frequently, inexpensive com-
binations sell as well and at perhaps a
larger margin of profit as large flowering
plants. You can use Asparagus or small
ferns in connection with Poinsettias,
Cherries, Peppers, Begonias, small Cycla-
men, Primroses or Roman Hyacinths and
thereby make up most attractive combin-
ations. Prepare well; see to it that a
good stock of these plants ate on hand
to draw from. Don't wait too long before
ordering. No harm is done if you have
some left after Christmas, they will come
in handy all through the Winter. You use
Asparagus and table ferns every day and
leftover plants taken care of, will grow
into money if you keep them.

Chatelaine Begonias

An Inexpensive Gem

Are you well stocked up with Chatelaine
Begonias? From now up to Christmas,
you will find all kinds of good use for
plants ranging in sizes from 2y2 in. up
to 5in. pots. After that, you should
keep on propagating all through the Win-
ter and early Spring, getting ready for
Spring trade. With most of us, this Be-
gonia and its several beautiful sports, is
never out of bloom; it can be retailed at
a reasonable price and makes a satisfac-
tory house plant. Sturdy 2%in. plants
will be fine for filling dishes and go well
with table ferns or Asparagus plumosus;
you will have no trouble in obtaining a

S leasing effect. If you are short on stock,
on't wait until near Christmas before
purchasing your needs. If you have old
stock on hand, a good plan, if you wish
to grow on a lot of young plants, is to
cut the plants back a little, divide and
plant out on a bench in a 55 deg. house.
Soon young growth will appear from be-
low, which is superior to hard flowering
wood, for propagating in sharp sand with
a little bottom heat. Every cutting will
root and when potted up later on, will
quickly develop into useful little plants
in full bloom.

Genista (Cytisus) racemosus

Little Mounds of Gold

You can't consider Genistas ideal house
plants, but they make a great show in
your establishment during early Spring
and even the smaller florist ha9 no trouble
in timing their blooming period so as to
have them just right for Easter week.

You can purchase now, well established
plants in 4in. to 6in. pots. Every plant
will be a sight when covered with golden
yellow blossoms. You can carry the stock
in a house of 40 to 45 degs., even less, if
necessary, but always keep the soil in the
pots moist. If allowed to suffer for want
of water, the plants will lose their leaves.
One can shear Genistas into almost any
shape or grow them into standards or
pyramids, but as good a way as any is
just to pinch enough to obtain bushy
plants. Stock which isn't evenly trimmed
or pruned, usually attains a graceful hab-
it and looks best when in flower. By the
middle of February, bring a few plants
to the Carnation house and let them come
along steadily. Plants not sold can, after
they are through flowering, be cut back
well, repotted and grown on into larger
specimens.

Carex japonica Variegata in a 2\4 inch
Pot

This beautiful little variegated grass should be
more generally grown by the florist who has fern
dishes to fill. It is especially useful around the
holidays when he makes up baskets of plants.
From a few bushy plants he can by division work
up a large stock in a short time.

Where Auratum Lilies Thrive

In a garden of Ormidale, Broderick, Isle
of Arran, Scotland, there is a plantation
of L. auratum, which has been established
for 40 years. The plants grow twice the
height they do in Japan, as high as 8ft.
6in., with as many as 42 blooms on a
stem. A great mass of 60 flowering stems
was exhibited at the recent London Fall
show, the first time the owner has ven-
tured to exhibit them in England.

It would seem that the situation or
soil in the garden is peculiarly adapted
to Lilies; nowhere else in the British
Isles does the auratum Lily thrive and
multiply as it does at Ormidale.

We understand the bulbs are lifted
every two or three years, sorted and re-
planted after the soil has been fertilized
and dug.

If Ormidale were not a private estate,
it might have some influence on the Lily
supply. Some such influence is certainly
needed, for rumor has it that the French
Paperwhite Narcissus growers look mere
pikers compared with the Japanese Lily
exporters. Maybe the Lily growers con-
sider they, too, should benefit by the re-
vision of tariffs.

The Best Late Sweet Peas

The Floral Committee of the National
Sweet Pea Society (British) has issued
its revised classification list of Summer
flower Sweet Peas. In almost all the col-
or sections, three varieties are quoted,
but the following represent what, in the
committee's opinion, are the finest in
cultivation: Dora, bicolor light; Magic,
bicolor dark; Mrs. Tom Jones, blue;
Colne Valley, blue light; Comman-
der Codsall, blue dark; Valentine,
blush pink; Elegance, blush lilac;
Mascotts Ingman and Renown, carmine
(presumably synonymous) ; Hawlmark
Cerise, cerise pale; Royal Salute,
cerise deep; Royal Scot, cerise scarlet;
Matchless, cream; Mrs. Arnold Hitch-
cock, cream pink pale; Picture, cream pink
deep; Charity, crimson; Artistry, fancy;
Fairy Queen, flushed; R. F. Felton, lav-
ender; Elsie Dene, lavender pale; Mas-
cotts Helio, lilac; Birdbrook, marbled;
Splendour, maroon red; Warrior, maroon
dark; King Mauve, mauve; Tangerine
Imp., orange; Geo. Shawyer, orange pink;
Gloriosa, orange scarlet; Jean Ireland,
cream picotee; Annie Ireland, white pico-
tee; Daisybud, pale pink; Hawlmark
Pink, deep pink; Royal Purple, purple;
Sunset, rose; Barbara, salmon; Hawlmark
Scarlet, scarlet; Senator Spencer, striped;
Edna May Imp., white; Constance Hinton,
white, dark seeded.

A close student of Sweet Peas will ob-
serve from this classification list that
many old favorites have given way to
new sorts in recent years. In almost
every instance American varieties have
been superseded.

SUMMIT, N. J.

National Sweet Pea Society
(British)

At the annual meeting, held in London,
on Oct. 31, it was reported that the mem-
bership had increased from 570 to 650
during the year, which suggests that the
society is steadily approaching the thou-
sand or so members it possessed before
the war. No less than 74 societies are
affiliated to the N. S. P. S.

The Eckford Memorial medal has, this
year, been granted to S. B. Dicks, for his
great devotion to the Sweet Pea. Mr.
Dicks has done more than any living man
to elucidate the history and progress of
the Sweet Pea. We believe Mr. Dicks'
first historical notes appeared in The
Florists Exchange. Since that time, he
has made many researches, and his last
notes in the Sweet Pea Annual practically
proved that no form of Sweet Pea ever
grew in Ceylon.

Henry D. Tigwell, on his retirement
from the secretary's office, was presented
with the N. S. P. S. gold medal and a
wallet containing some $250. His successor
is A. C. Bartlett, who, wei understand,
was one of the nominees in 1913, when
Mr. Tigwell was elected, as related by
"Woolgatherer," in our issue for Nov. 4.

The show for 1923 has been fixed as a
provincial again, and will be held at
Bath. This has been arranged so that the
N. S. P. show for 1924 can be held co-
incident with the great Empire show, to
be held at Wembley, London. Work on
the grounds at Wembley has been going
on some time, and it is practically a cer-
tainty that this exhibition will be the
greatest horticultural show held since the
International of 1912, when the rock gar-
dens and outdoor displays alone covered
many acres.

Niagara Falls, N. Y— E. C. Gilleland
has opened a flower shop on Queen St.,
and besides flowers, carries an extensive
line of pottery of rare and artistic de-
signs.

Paricide

The Prices Advertised in the F. E. are for The Trade Only

In our issue of Nov. 4, we printed an j
inquiry in which the writer asked if we
could tell him what "Paricidei" was and J
who manufactured it. Since then one of :
our good friends tells us it looks to him j
as if somebody had either made an awful 1
blunder, or was attempting to perpetrate '
a joke. He tells us that "Paricide, trans-
lated, means a person who kills his
father or mother.

For the benefit of our good friend, we
would rise to remark that the term
"Parricide" is generally used to designate

one who murders a ruler; "Patricide," one
who murders his father.

So the inquiry as to what is 'Paricide"
still stands. Does anybody know?

GREAT as the nursery business in America is at
present, it may be said to be only in its begin-
ning when we consider all the opportunities
that are open for its expansion. Just keep in mind
how the cities, towns and villages are growing and
how civic pride and an ever increasing wish for, and
appreciation of, beautiful park, street
and commons planting is calling for
the products of the nurseries; how in-
dividual and corporation industrial es-
tablishments have awakened to the
fact that factory sites, improved and
beautified by well planned surround-
ings, become better investments be-
cause working people and office forces
feel more contented where an effort is
made to bring them in touch with Na-
ture, and you will know that the fu-
ture of the nursery business is bright
and encouraging. Then, there are the
agricultural industries which, on ac-
count of the growing population and
its increasing taste and demand for
better fruits, are engaging more free-
ly, and on a larger scale, in the plant-
ing of orchards and berries. The subur-
ban dweller and the families on the
farms, all over the land, have never
been more anxious or more ready to
transform their home grounds and gar-
dens into spots of loveliness and use-
fulness, thereby opening another im-
portant outlet for the products of the
nurseries.

To awaken that sense and wish for
beautiful home grounds, which is
latent in every human, and to give all
possible help and encouragement for
its fulfillment, should be the aim of
every nurseryman who is so situated
that he can get in touch with the peo-
ple and is able to supply their de-
mands. There is no better -way of creating this de-
mand than by demonstrating what it is possible to
do with plants, by letting prospective customers know
where to procure these plants and by offering sug-
gestions as to how to do the planting.

The American Forestry Co., which operates the
"Little Tree Farms," Number One and Two, at Fram-
ingham Centre, Mass., may be said to have perfected
a unique and most businesslike plan for the purpose
of attracting prospective customers and of making it
easy for them to decide what they shall need and how
the plants will look after they are set out.

i The American Forestry Co. owns two nurseries of
110 acres each. Both are situated in Framingham
Centre, Mass., not far distant from each other. Al-
most all its trees are grown on the place from seed.
Little Tree Farms Number One is devoted to the
wholesale trade entirely and its activities are not
concerned with this article. Little Tree Farms Num-
ber Two, on the State road from Boston to Worcester,
is connected with the retail department and is easily
reached with the Boston and Worcester Air Line
trolley. It is situated on a beautiful, level stretch of
country, on either side of the highway to Worcester,
with a frontage of one-quarter of a mile. One whole
side of the road is taken up by the show grounds,
the like of which probably does not exist in the
country. Close to the road, and about 50ft. to the
rear, the grounds are planted in all imaginable ways
and combinations with evergreens and other hardy
plants, many of the groups also containing admix-
tures of perennial and annual flowering or foliage
plants or bulbous subjects which fit in with the re-
spective groups. There are groups of evergreens,
showing all the possible ways in which evergreens
may be employed, either as foregrounds, backgrounds,
screens or in combination with a lawn, rocks or rock-
ery. Garden furniture, trellises, arbors, rustic

bridges, pathways and edgings are all planned so as
to present a beautiful and representative whole,
where the visitor can find carried out in reality just
the idea which he has in his mind as to how he
would like to have his grounds planted. There are
whole sections or plantings of Roses, Gladioli, Cannas.

Uptodate demonstration sales ground on "Little Tree Farms" Number Two of
the American Forestry Co., Framingham Centre, Mass.

Dahlias, Irises and perennials. All the plants are
correctly labeled. In the middle portion of this show
ground stands a handsome office building, containing
a well appointed rest room, supplied with catalogs,
plans and other information. Here the visitor or
customer can talk things over with competent at-
tendants and, after having looked over the display
outside, can come back and leave his order. This neat
and attractive building sports beautiful, appropriate
foundation plantings of conifers and broad leaved
evergreens. The win-
dows are decorated
with handsome window
boxes, containing com-
binations of small ever-
greens, for which the
firm has worked up
such an enviable repu-
tation and which are
now so much featured
by retail florists all
over the country. The
entrance and the porch
are enlivened with
matched pairs of Arbor-
vitffi, Red Cedar, White
or Colorado Spruce,
etc., in suitable wooden,
concrete or crockery
containers. Outside, for
quite a distance on
either side, is a display
of evergreens in pots,
urns, vases or boxes.
We see here matched
pairs of every suitable
variety of Firs, Spruces,
Arborvitae, Juniper,

Cedar, etc., of all popular sizes and in perfect speci-
mens. Here is where the retailer can make his
choice, as well as the dweller in the city home.

Back of the demonstration grounds to a depth of
100ft., is the miniature nursery. Here are to be
found, planted in rows and beds, solid rows or beds
of each, representatives of every plant sold .by the
nursery and in all the different sizes. All these plants
are not only labeled, but also carry the price on
a neat tag. This arrangement makes it possible for
the buyer to choose his plants without wandering
over the whole nursery. In a separate place are al-
ways kept heeled in a sufficient number of those plants
which are mostly in demand, thus mak-
ing it possible to supply and load into
the wagon or automobile, at a moment's
notice, any purchase made, without
having to wait until the plants are dug
from the nursery. The great success
which has attended this way of mer-
chandising speaks volumes for its prac-
ticality and popularity.

On the other side of the road, on a
gentle rise of the grounds, we find a
most impressive, old-time country man-
sion with mansard roof and cosy bay
windows. Here are the salesrooms for
garden implements, accessories, books,
etc., and the draughting rooms of the
landscape department ; also ladies'
rooms and toilet. The mansion is set
in the midst of grand old Elms, Syca-
mores and Pines. Nearby are the serv-
ice buildings. One of these is an im-
mense, solid structure, in the basement
of which are situated the large pack-
ing rooms for plants and the cellars.
Overhead are the lumber rooms and
the box shop, which is equipped with
electrically driven machinery for the
manufacture of packing cases, etc.

Visitors to the nursery will find any
time spent there profitable and inter-
esting and they are always welcome.
There is parking space provided for
hundreds of automobiles, right in
front of the show grounds.

The home office of the American For-
estry Co. is at 419 Boyleston St., Bos-
ton. Theodore F. Borst is the president of the com-
pany. In charge of Little Tree Farms, Number Two,
is Edward W. Borst. Thomas B. Smith is the land-
scape gardener. Charles C. Bray is in charge of the
Nursery Production Department. G. Th.

The florist grower who may decide to add nursery
stock to his outdoor- department should not overlook
the fact that hardy herbaceous plants go hand in hand
with trees, evergreens and shrubs.

We try to live
up to our Motto :
VALUE

for VALUE

From a general viewpoint of the East,
the Fall season has not been so good
this year in quantity of stock sold. Wheth-
er the business has been more profitable
than last year, of course, remains to be
seen. For instance, the landscape archi-
tects of New York City unite in the opin-
ion that this Fall has been the worst sea-
son in memory. Buyers are holding off.

This does uot necessarily mean poor
business this year, since the Spring plant-
ings may be all the heavier for the pres-
ent delay.

Evergreens remain unchanged from last
year. Nursery sizes generally are short.
Seedlings and grafts are more plentiful,
however, and a "return to normalcy" is a
matter of time only.

Shade trees are short — noticeably so in
the East. One prominent nurseryman
expressed an opinion that it would be
some years before the supply is normal.

Japanese Barberry in 2-year bushy
form will probably be no easier than last
year, although one-year stock is liable
to be in sm-plus. California Privet is in
better shape and "most of the shorts have
covered" this year. Both these stocks
will either be in surplus within a year
or so, or else a larger demand will be
created by sales efforts on the part of nur-
serymen.

City Sales for Evergreens

Last week, for the first time in the
history of the firm, the Henry F. Michell
Co., Philadelphia, carried a large display
of balled and burlapped evergreens — in-
cluding Spruce of several varieties, Juni-
pers, etc. These are for sale to the man
in the street.

Mr. Michell expressed himself well sat-
isfied with orders coming in on them, and
he plans to carry them every year here-
after, if possible.

This matter of evergreen sales in the
city is up to the nurseryman. He must
size up his stock — decide on a fair price —
and get in touch with a retail florist or a
seed house or whatever firm he wants to
market his stock.

Some retailers will not handle it, for
one reason or another. It is up to the
nurseryman to persuade the retailer to
try it out. The market is a good one,
and profits should be excellent.

just named three new red Raspberries
which originated on the Station grounds
and which the authorities believe to be
exceptionally fine. These new varieties
are seedlings from a cross between June,
a variety developed by the Experiment
Station, and Cuthbert, a well known com-
mercial sort. The three seedlings, now
known as the Cayuga, the Owasco and the
Seneca, have survived a rigid selection
extending over a period of twelve years
during which time, many seedlings were
discarded.

The fruit of these three new Raspberries
is said to be as large as that of either
parent and of good quality and flavor. Of
the three new varieties, the Cayuga and
the Seneca are described as being the
most desirable for commercial purposes.
Plants of both varieties are very vigorous
and productive with exceptionally large
berries and clusters. In appearance and
flavor Cayuga is quite similar to Cuth-
bert. Seneca is a little more sprightly
in flavor and is also a few days later.
The Owasco does not produce as large
or as vigorous plants as its two sister
varieties, but the berries are very large,
juicy and firm, with a decided Cuthbert
flavor. It is regarded as an excellent va-
riety for the amateur grower.

A limited amount of stock of these new
varieties is now being distributed among
the members of the New York State Fruit
Testing Cooperative Association, Inc., for
further testing and propagation.

Pyracantha

A Plant that is Different

Plants come and go on alternate waves
of popularity and calms of forgetfulness.

Some years ago the Evergreen Haw-
thorn, known as Pyracantha, was a popu-
lar hedge plant, especially in Southern
localities. Now it is rarely seen and sel-
dom mentioned. Yet it has fascinating
characteristics quite unlike any other
plant. The most striking thing about
it is the bizarre orange yellow berries in
a generous profusion with a setting of
trim and natty evergreen leaves. No eye
can rest upon these gorgeous berries and
not be held in admiration.

Then there is something distinctive
about the growth. Its stems and rigid
branching habits are not graceful and yet
there is an undeniable charm about them
Rarely is there a single, upright stem,
but, instead, one or more leading stems
will strike upward on a decided slant. It
is not a plant for a position demanding
symmetry and perfection of form, but
rather to be set in relation to other plants
from among which it seems suddenly to
intrude on the vision, and give that touch
to the scene which we call artistic.

The Pyracantha is not an easily
handled plant. It roots rather poorly
and consequently transplants with not a
little danger. It is commonly "top heavy,"
and would be the better for a fairly se-
vere pruning. Find the niehe this plant
could fill, and you will have increasing
and endless delight.

phere got a bit too hot for the board,
which, true to tradition, climbed down
gracefully, at the same time shifting the
blame for losses on the backs of the ex-
porters. We wonder!

Thanks for Small Mercies

A writer in the Nurseryman and Seeds-

same time tenders thanks to the Federal
Horticultural Board for its revision of

Bull Headed Roses

We would be interested to learn what
is the cause of flat-heads in Roses, and
what may be done to prevent this for-
mation. We find this condition most
noticeable on Columbia, while Ophelias
are perfect, and grown in the same house
and under like conditions. — D. S., Mich.

— Some varieties are prone to yield a
percentage of bull-headed flowers and Co-
lumbia is one of them. We have not
heard that any one particular cause
brings it about, but it is usually more rife
among plants that are growing vigorous-
ly. The failing is probably inherent and
as Ophelia, one of the parents of Colum-
bia, is free from it, one may assume it
comes from Mrs. Geo. Shawyer, the other
parent. We believe every grower of
Columbia gets a percentage of bull heads
in the Winter months.

No Embargo on Nursery Stock

The F. W. Kelsey Nursery Co. reports
that a few weeks ago when the coal short-
age was imminent and railway embargoes
were being laid down, several shipments!
of nursery stock were held by railway-
agents under the impression that there-
was an embargo against them. The In-
terstate Commerce Commission was ap-
pealed to and the agents finally persuaded:
that no embargo had ever been placed
against nursery stock.

We pass this on in case any otheir
nursery runs into the same misunder-
standing.

Reading (Pa.) Florists Association

Splendid Fall Show, Nov. 8 to 11

With the hall elaborately decorated
with greens and flowers of all descriptions,
the annual show of the Reading Florists
Association opened at the Odd Fellows
Temple on Nov. 8. Chrysanthemums pre-
dominated, but there were a large number
of other flowers on display.

Colored lights hung from streamers of
Laurel and Smilax, which cast a varied
hue over the hall.

The various members of the association
put forth their most strenuous efforts to
make this show a success. In the center
of the hall, bordered by evergreens, was
a massive centerpiece, consisting of all
kinds of greens, flowering plants and cut
flowers, which were contributed by the
members of the association. A number of
the flowers came from some greenhouses
in Berks, as well as from the various
wholesale houses. The booths, which lined
the wall, showed a great assortment, and
the inhabitants of Berks can be proud
of such a remarkable display.

The display by John H. Giles, of or-
chids, attracted considerable attention,
while a bubbling fountain in the back-
ground, surrounded by large Cibotium
ferns added a bright appearance to the
scene, as did the large baskets of Roses
and Chrysanthemums. Paul Blachman,
Jr., worked up a display in the form of
a wedding supper. The table was at-
tractively decorated with Smilax, with a
centerpiece of Roses and Sweet Peas.
The bride carried a bouquet of orchids
and pink Roses. Two large baskets of
yellow Chrysanthemums filled in the
background.

Farr Bros, attractively displayed small
evergreen trees and a unique collection of
ferns and other greens. Pompon Chrys-
anthemum plants brightened up the dis-
play.

Table decorations were a feature by
Heck Bros. They also displayed a large
mantle, decorated with Chrysanthemums
and Hadley Roses, and several large bas-
kets of Chrysanthemums of extra fine
quality. The only Begonias on display
were shown by Wm. Kern, who makes a
specialty in this line. He also displayed
ferns which made an attractive setting.

With a background of greens, J. C.
Bauder attractively filled his booth with
table decorations. An overhead dome
added greatly to the effect of the display,
which was covered with Smilax and
Roses. His display of Chrysanthemums
was superb. Harry Huesman featured
large Major Bonnaffon Chrysanthemums
and an assortment of pot plants. Fancy
ferns attracted special attention. A large
basket of assorted cut flowers at each
end added considerably to the display.

The A. W. Masser Seed Store displayed
a full line of seeds and bulbs, and all
types of utensils used in the garden.
Pottery was also shown.

We have to offer for late Fall and
early Spring shipment a full line of
Raspberries and Blackberries, in-
cluding Burbank Thornless and
Loganberries, Rhubarb Seed and
Plants. Write for List

Wagner's Nurseries, p^A\3f?A

A magnificent collection of Pompon
Chrysanthemums grown by Elmer D.
Smith of Adrian, Mich., and the America
Rose grown by Charles H. Totty of Madi-
son, N. J., were special features. _

In the center of the hall, raised on a

Eedestal of marble, stood a massive bas-
et of Chrysanthemums, some of the
largest ever grown in this section. The
basket was attractively arranged and
towered over the hundreds of Roses,
Pompon Chrysanthemums, ferns and Car-
nations, which were arranged about the
base.

Those who contributed to this splendid
show, besides the members of the associa-
tion, were: Mrs. George Horst, A. N.
Pierson of Cromwell, Conn.; Charles
Totty of Madison, N. Jj Elmer D. Smith,
Adrian, Mich.; E. G. Hill & Co. of Rich-
mond, Ind., and the Zooks Greenhouses of
Elizabethtown.

The committee in charge of the arrange-
ments was Stanley Giles, chairman, Fred-
erick Frank, Harry Huesman, Fred Heck,
Paul Blachman, Alfred Lunden and John
Downing. It was the first flower show
held in Reading in five years, but it is
hoped to make it an annual event.

Newport, R. I.

Nov. 14. — Armistice Day livened things
up a bit, yet not so much as one would
expect. Something like two score of floral
pieces were placed about the base of the
memorial tablet in front of the City Hall.
Chrysanthemums and Roses appeared to
be the flowers most in favor. Of course,
had the bodies of those who made the
supreme sacrifice in. the World War been
returned here, conditions would then be
different.

Even with a live Chamber of Commerce
Newport is pretty well closed up for the
Winter — no mail out after 8.30 p.m.;
telegraph offices closed up at something
like 10.30, and no way of communicating
with the outside world after that hour,
except by relaying messages by phone to
the telegraph office in Providence. Wire-
less has not as yet become common.

Coal Troubles

The delivery of coal here still
appears to be a real problem. A recent
report shows that the State has received
but 60,237 of the 131,051 tons of anthra-
cite allotted it by the Federal authori-
ties. This situation has been explained
to the Fuel Administration and a pro-
test filed, but without, as yet, any reply
having been received. It is assumed
that shipment to the Northwest has ab-
sorbed the stocks that would otherwise
have come to New England by this time.
But even though this may explain mat-
ters it does not remedy the difficulty nor
brighten the immediate prospect.

Alexander MacLellan.

Bridgeport, Conn.

Carl C. Reck has sold his greenhouses,
situate in the city block bounded by Oak,
Grand, Center and Frank sts., to the
Roman Catholic Diocese of Hartford.
The purchase price has not been an-
nounced, but it is estimated that approxi-
mately $40,000 was involved in the trans-
action. Under the terms of the purchase,
the Diocese is privileged to take immedi-
ate occupancy of the dwelling house, but
Mr. Reck retains the privilege of using
the greenhouses for one year to come.

This news will be of interest to many
of our old time readers, who will recol-
lect that this business was established on
the above piece of property by John Reck,
father of Carl C., in 1874, and that the
family greenhouse business has been con-
ducted there ever since that year, Carl
C. Reck having taken it over in 1906, on
the death of his father.

The Reck greenhouses are well within
the center of what has become a thick-
ly settled district, consequently the glass
has been much shaded by the surround-
ing buildings, and this has been the prin-
cipal reason for the sale. It is Carl C.
Reek's intention to construct a new range
of glass on the outskirts of Bridgeport
this coming Summer.

Trade Notes

Nov. 11. — There is no howl about
poor business from this section as seems
in other cities, but, to be perfectly frank,
the outlook might be better; there seems
to be no steadiness to it. One week it is
real good, the next just a little slacking
off, and then a few days of old time busi-
ness followed by a week of dullness.
'Mums have the call, and the other flowers
have a hard time getting out of the ice
box.

Armistice Day hardly caused a ripple on
the flower market, which is to be deplored,
as there is no getting away from the fact
that flowers add to an occasion as no
other one thing can: their absence perme-
ates gloom to any festivities that are at-
tempted without them.

I saw the flower show — not in Lancas-
ter. We tried it out one election year —
never again — at Reading, and a very good
show they put up. An added attraction
was a State session of the F. T. D., with
Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Barr, Miss Carrie
Steckman and John Schoenberger as rep-
resentatives from this district.

Thursday, Messrs. H. K. Rohrer, A. K.
Rohrer, Lemon Landis, Ira Landis, Elmer
Weaver, Edwin Rohrer and John Kreirer
motored over, taking in the show and
several of the growers' establishments.

An Election Note

The Rosary had a dozen of the best
'Mums that could be procured on election
night and presented them to the lucky
candidate, who this time had all of the
florists' votes excepting one, so that they
said it with both votes and flowers.

The Market

Nov. 13. — Business seems to be
improving somewhat. While some are
still complaining that things are not
what they should be, still nearly every-
one admits that the volume is larger
than for the same time last season. This
year we seem to have escaped the usual
midseason glut of 'Mums. By this I do
not mean that they are all cleaning up
daily ; there is always a certain amount
of poor stock that does not sell readily,
but good stock has been selling, and
while prices are not high, they are enough
to return a fair average to the grower
and are much better than last season.
Armistice Day does not mean much to
the florists of this section, and when it
falls on Saturday with a big parade, it
hurts the usual Saturday business.

Am. Beauty is in short supply with a
light demand. Other Roses are not very
plentiful, as most growers have pinched
for the Christmas crop, but the quality
of those arriving can hardly be improved
on.

Carnations are plentiful, but do not
move very fast, and will not come into
their own until 'Mums are out of the
way. Some of the later varieties of
'Mums are now coming in and include
Turner, Bonnaffon, Dr. Enguehardt,
Richmond, Chas. Razer, and Chadwick.
Pompons are plentiful, but are cleaning
up daily at fair prices.

Sweet Peas are to be had in all colors,
but the demand is light. The demand of
Valley has been good, and large quanti-
ties are moved daily. The supply of or-
chids has shortened up, and there are
hardly enough to supply the demand ;
Snapdragon, Calendula, and Baby Prim-
rose close the list of available stock, all
of which move well.

News Notes

The Pittsburgh Florists and Gar-
deners Club held their regular monthly
meeting at Carnegie Hall, North Side,
Tuesday evening, Oct. 7, with a large
attendance. A fine exhibit of 'Mums was
on hand and T. Malbranc of Johnstown,
Pa., exhibited some well-grown Orange
Trees. E. J. McCallum was the speaker
of the evening, and gave an interesting
talk on his European trip. Mr. McCal-
lum also delivered an address before the
florists of The Allegheny Valley at Punx-
sutawney, Pa., on Friday evening.

The McCallum Co. have leased the
eighth story building at 133 and 135
Seventh st. for a period of 20 years, be-
ginning May 1, 1923. The new location
is next door to their present city store,
and is large enough to permit all their
departments, including their factory, to
be under the one roof.

Messrs. Clark and Burky of The Pitts-
burgh Cut Flower Co. have recently re-
turned from a short auto tour of the
East.

Mrs. E. A. Williams, Inc., has been
featuring a Red Cross window for the
past week.

Out-of-town florists who attended the
club meeting Tuesday evening included
John Keil and John Deitz of The John
Keil Co., East Liverpool, Ohio ; T. Mal-
branc of Johnstown, Pa. ; Max Schrei-
ber of McDonald, Pa. ; Peter Hopman of
New Galilee, Pa. ; and Alfred Oesterling
of Butler, Pa.

The A. W. Smith Flower Stores Co.
furnished the plant and cut flower deco-
rations for the large electric show held
here last week.

Randolph & McClements are having
their usual Fall rush of debutante and
wedding decorations, which at times rush
their large force to the limit.

Scranton Florists Club

Second Annual Flower Show

The second annual flower show of the
Scranton Florists Club, Inc., began Tues-
day night, Nov. 7, and closed Thursday
night, Nov. 10. There was a large at-
tendance on Tuesday night, the Knights
Templar occupying about one-third of the
immense floor space in their annual ball,
also a very large attendance on Friday.
The other two days we were unfortunate
in having inclement weather.

The Scranton armory covers over half
a block and has much the largest floor
space of any building in Scranton. The
overhead decorations were in red, white
and blue, side walls blue, dotted with
stars. The large groups in the center
carried off first and second prizes; these
were by commercial men. The group in
the immediate center was captured by
Robt. Stobo, gdr. for Mortimer Fuller.
Mr. Fuller had a number of other ex-
hibits, and carried off several first prizes.

The two side wall spaces were taken
up with the exhibits of store people, ex-
cept one by Nay Aug Park, and one of
baskets of outside greens, plants, and
berries entered by Grammar School
children. This was entered into with
great interest by our society people; they
likewise took up the matter of table dec-
orations with much enthusiasm which
gives the club new hope for next year's
exhibit. A Banana tree exhibited by Wm.
Clark, gdr. to Mrs. H. M. Boise, attracted
much attention, a goodly sized bunch of
fruit hanging from the tree. It was a
new thing to many of our townspeople. A
great variety of orchids arranged by Mr.
Clark was also much admired. David
McGregor, gdr. to Mrs. C. S. Weston,
had many beautiful plants and groups
carrying off prizes and honors. Mrs. J.
B. Dimmick, gdr. Mr. Ettinger, had a
novel display of plants, combined with
Autumn foliage, an oil painting of a
mountain stream being set in the rear; a
very clever arrangement.

The trade had fine displays of flo-
rists supplies and were well patronized
by retailers from this end of our State,
southern New York and northern New
Jersey.

S. S. Pennock Co., Mr. Zipperer in
charge, had a large exhibit of ribbons
and other supplies; these were all dis-
posed of at the end of the show. M.
Rice Co., represented by Mark Ruch;
B. E. and J. T. Cokely in charge of
Messrs. Tillinghast and Swick; H. Bayers-
dorfer in charge of Messrs. Royer and
Thorsum and the Burlington Willow Ware
Co., by T. J. Nolan, all held interested
audiences around their respective booths.
The H. F. Michell Co. had an extensive
exhibit and their representative, the gen-
ial A. L. Goudy, had nothing to carry
away except his added avoirdupois. Re-
tailers patronized the show with a great
deal of interest and were highly com-
mendatory in their praise. Among out
out of town visitors the following made
themselves known and expressed their de-
light at being able to be present: Geo.
Evenden of Evenden Bros, and Mr. Mc-
Ginnas of Williamsport, Pa.; J. B.
Knapp, Sayre, Pa.; Messrs Carr and Rob-
bins of Kingston, Pa.; J. Templeton and
the Neilson boys of Plymouth, Pa.; Mr.
Lewis of Ashley, Pa.; Mr. Sykes and sis-
ters of AUentown, Pa.; Mr. Strough, Forty
Fort, Pa.; Mrs. K. E. Jackson, Elmira,
N. Y; Messrs. Reichley and Rossitor,
Sunbury, Pa.; Mr. Geiger of the Florex

Friday for the ladies of the club; all who
attended expressed it was "some lunch-
eon." E. G.

Easthampton to Have New Park

At a special election, held in Easthamp-
ton, it was voted that the tract of land
at the north end of Main St., at the inter-
section of the Amagansett rd., be pur-
chased from Jeremiah M. Dominy, and
that a memorial park, in honor of the
soldiers and sailors of the town who fought
in the World War, be established there.

Yellow Versus White Corn

Early in the year, reference was made
to some experiments carried out with
rats, which effectively proved that white
seeded Corn lacks some essential vita-
mines, thereby making it an unsuitable
food unless the deficiency is made up.
Experiments carried out at the Wisconsin
Experiment Station with hogs further
proves the unsuitability of white Corn.
Five separate lots of pigs were turned
into Corn and while the pasture in the
field was good, the various groups of pigs
showed no difference. When the pasture
became scanty, the rapid falling off of
the animals feeding on white Corn became
apparent. A number of the animals died
from rickets or pneumonia — the same ef-
fect was noticed in the rat experiments.
The last two white Corn fed pigs, after
developing paralysis, had their diet
changed to yellow Corn and they gradual-
ly recovered.

All the pigs had skim milk as part of
their ration, but the milk lacked the need-
ful fat vitamines also. White Corn is
lacking in soluble fat vitamines, and it
is this lack that brings about rickets and
respiratory diseases. Similar affections
in children are similarly caused through

lack of soluble fat vitamines. This was
terribly exemplified in Germany during
the war, as those who have heard S. S.
Pennock lecture and have seen the
series of pictures he has, know full well.
It would seem that seedsmen might well
emphasize the superiority of yellow Corn
as a food for man and beast. It may be
mentioned that a few farmers have for
many years known that yellow Corn is
superior to white Corn for feeding stock.
Some scientists discounted the theory be-
cause analysis showed no difference in the
food elements of yellow and white Corn.
The experiments referred to conclusively
prove that the old time farmers were
right and in this respect they were in
line with many old fashioned horticultur-
ists who did things a certain way because
they knew it was best, without being able
to explain why.

Detroit, Mich.

D. F. C. Women's Auxiliary

The Women's Auxiliary and mem-
bers of the Detroit Florists Club motored
to Mt. Clemens on Wednesday morning,
Nov. 8, had luncheon at the Colonial Ho-
tel, then visited the greenhouses, where
the majority of Detroit's flowers are pro-
duced, being given a cordial welcome by
the proprietors.

At 4.30 the Auxiliary's second meeting
of the season was called to order by Mrs.
Chas. Keller, president, and plans were
completed for a card party, to take place
Dee. 4, 8 p.m., at the Detroit Federation
Club House, for the purpose of raising
funds for the maintenance of a Day Nur-
sery in the Delray District.

At 6 p.m. the members of both clubs
sat down to tables prettily decorated with
varied colored 'Mums and Roses, and a
delicious dinner was served for 56 covers.

The hostesses for the day were Mes-
dames Harry Breitmeyer, Walter G.
Taepke, Geo. Doemling, Fred Breitmeyer,
G. Schimmel, Robt. Rahaley and Miss P.
Fitz Gerald. They had planned to take
their guests to the theatre in the evening,
but the invitation was declined on account
of the delightful time they had had dur-
ing the entire day.

Those who enjoyed the outing were:
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Poehelon, Jerome K.
Stock, Albert Sylvester, Peter Papes,
Schimmel, Fred Breitmeyer, John Klang,
John Besemer, Herman Knope, Jos. Streit,
John Warncke, Peter Reuss, Harry Smith,
Mike Bloy and Wm. Hielscher; Mrs. Chas.
Keller, Mrs. Smokiewiczs, Miss Phyllis
Fitz Gerald and Miss Helen Wick.

The State of New Jersey observed Armistice Day,
Nov. 11, as a legal holiday.

The American Horticultural Society was established
in Washington, D. C. this week. Its officers intend
to do progressive work among the amateur element.

The close of this week witnesses the end, practi-
cally, of the various Chrysanthemum shows which
have lately been going on all over the country.

The small florist grower in out-of-the-way country
towns will derive interest and inspiration from the
letter we publish in another column. What has been
done in Bangor, Me., is possible elsewhere.

Florists do all they can to encourage birthday flow-
ers, but they should not overlook the one bloom for
each year idea, especially when the proposed recipient
is past the youthful stage. At Toronto, last week,
a birthday basket was presented to a gentleman and a
bouquet to a lady. A choice Rose was given for each
year, and as the gentleman was 77. and the lady SO,
it follows that the basket and bouquet were of re-
spectable size, and no mean order for the florist.

Our movie scout reports that in one of the newer
pictures entitled "The Man Who Played God," Mr.
George Arliss, in the part of the leading character,
gives expression to. the happy sentiment that

"Flowers are God's Messengers of Hope."

A beautiful thought, is it not? And one which,
whether old or new, is well worth remembering and
featuring in our publicity efforts. Doubtless it is
true to some extent that this is a day of commercial-
ism when the favorite argument is one that talks in
dollars and cents. But, just the same, the noble,
beautiful, inspiring thought has lost none of its in-
herent power— and flowers are the materials out of
which countless such thoughts can be created.

From our own limited observation, Armistice Day.
Nov. 11, did not disturb the equanimity of New York
City. We saw no flags and no record of any exercises
appeared in our newspapers. We wonder if all large
cities had so forgotten. Washington, D. C, did make
a demonstration, at Arlington; even ex-President
Woodrow Wilson was the object of a friendly visit by
a large crowd.

Despite the fact that Thanksgiving Day in Canada
is Nov. 6 we read that Toronto decorated' all soldiers'
graves. In some of the smaller towns, our own in-
cluded, there was a joint grand march and a me-
morial ceremony; London carried out its famous
two minutes' silence, and the ceremonies at White-
hall and Westminster.

It is gratifying to know that not everyone has
forgotten.

"Time and tide wait for no man" is ever being
brought home forcibly. Our Advertising Department
has just reminded us that we should begin to take
up the customary special work in connection with our
1922 Christmas Number to be published Dec. 16. That's
less than a month hence. Gracious ! how these holiday
occasions do roll around.

Why a Further Delay?

The .news item from Washington appearing else-
where in this issue with regard to the plans of the
F. H. B. in connection with the bulb situation is far
from reassuriug for, although in no sense official, it
presumably reflects the attitude of the Department.

It is quite true that the American bulb growing
interests were not represented at the Oct. 30 con-
ference— except, as someone humorously but rather
accurately remarked, by the members of the Board
and its advisers. But there certainly was nothing
to prevent them from appearing, save the incon-
venience of going to Washington ; and since this did
not prove sufficient to deter Holland from sending two
representatives, it is strange that California, or the
Pacific Coast as a whole, could not have doue as much.

However, it was hardly expected that the growing
interests would have to be represented, since, if we
recall the statements of the Board correctly, its Sum-
mer trip to and through the Western growing dis-
tricts was planned for the very purpose of securing
all necessary information as to growing activities
and all possible opinions from the growers them-
selves. Indeed, we are reliably informed that fre-
quent requests that the bulb conference might be
held early in the Summer were refused by the Secre-
tary of Agriculture and by the F. H. B. because, as
they put it, they wished first to consult the growing
interests and to secure all data necessary to a fair
decision.

Now the Summer has gone by ; the growers have
been interviewed and heard from in large numbers;
the conference has been held, and the dealers and
importers have been given an opportunity to present
their cases. Surely the Board has no justification
for announcing that it will put off rendering a de-
cision until it has given the domestic growing interests
another opportunity to review the facts brought out
on Oct. 30 ; an opportunity, in fact, to accumulate
and present such new evidence as they may be able
to get together in refutation of statements made by
the dealers who went to Washington iu October?
Suppose the latter had stayed away. Does anyone
imagine that the Board would have gone out and
interviewed them, or made any further effort to
secure tlicir opinions?

The point is made by Dr. Marlatt that no modifi-
cation of the quarantine should be made that will
injure the domestic growing activities, in which, he
says, large sums of money have been invested since
Qu. 37 went into effect. This quarantine has now
been in effect for more than three years; yet, as was
brought out at the recent conference, it is absolutely
impossible to secure stocks of many needed kinds of
bulbs. In many cases, there is no indication that the
growing industries are on such a basis as to promise
supplies of these items in the near future or, for
that matter, at any time. If the rulings of the
F. H. B. are to be based on conditions in the growing
sections, should the Board not ascertain and publish
for the trade at large just what those conditions are
and what results may be expected of them, and when?
Importation statistics apparently tell nothing; the
expectations of the growers at the beginning of each
season consistently fail to materialize. Wtbat are
the facts about American grown bulb supplies for
the trade?

How long does the Board propose to wait on the
Western growers? And how much longer is it going
to take to arrive at a decision for which members
of the trade have been urgently asking for nearly a
year, and for which they have been led to hope for
the last six months or more?

From Manila, via the Philadelphia Public Ledger,
comes a humorous note of interest (?) to the F.
H. B. or perhaps to the Federal agents charged with
the enforcement of tie Volstead law. It refers to a
bug recently discovered in the Philippine Islands, the
effects of whose bite are curiously like the socalled
"enjoyable reactions" obtainable from alcoholic bev-
erages and certain drugs. The natives of the Islands,
who call the insect "a-nik," comment especially upon
the mental exhilaration caused by its bite; scientists
are wondering whether, in view of the apparently
harmless anesthesia it produces, the insect may not
prove useful in connection with minor surgical opera-
tions. Just where in the scale of "dangerous pests"
this bug would be placed by horticulturists, we don't
now ; but certainly it has possibilities.

Retailers Rights and the Pedlars

Boston florists have recently suffered considerable
mental anguish because the City Council passed an
ordinance permitting itinerant vendors and mer-
chants to temporarily occupy stores and set up sales
booths, etc., for a flat license iee of $200. This, it
was felt by many, was an injustice to established, tax
paying business men, that might react to the especial
injury of the legitimate florist business at holiday
times.

Upon Mayor Curley's return from a vacation trip
the other day, he promptly \e.oed the ;.r..iuance on
the ground that it "would legati .e L..e ousiness of
itinerant vendors devoid of responsibility to the pub-
lic with whom they may have dealings." So the mat-
ter is settled and the retail florists breathe freely
once more.

The situation regarding itinerant dealers and
pedlars is not, however, peculiar to Boston. From
various sources have come complaints against the
"street boys" who, it is claimed, sometimes seriously
embarrass shopkeepers by taking a position near or
even directly in front of regular establishments and
offering their sorry, but ofttimes deceiving products
at figures that make the shop prices appear to the
casual observer unreasonable.

Of course, such activities are undesirable and
should lie controlled to within the limits of fair and
legitimate competition. But tl ere is something to be
said on the other side, too. For one thing, we have
heard of wholesalers expressing the wish that there
were more street boys at times to help them dis-
pose of oversupplies of stock. Again, assuming that
a man is without capital or backing, but lias the:
gumption and industry to begin at the bottom, peddling!
cheap stock, is there any real reason why he should!
be prevented from thus making a legitimate attempt
to gain a livelihood? It seems to us that whereas ai
city ordinance might, as Mayor Curley said, rendei
such a business legal, it would take more than the |
action or lack of action of a government to make it
illegal.

Looking backward, is it so hard to name success- 1
ful men in all lines of activity who, at one time, werel
doing just the thing that these pedlars are accusec
of — namely starting on a shoestring basis and doinj
the best they could? Looking forward, may not somi
of the pedlars of today be the business leaders of to
morrow?

Let there be rules, by all means, to prohibit pedlarf
from becoming nuisances, blocking traffic and activelj
seeking to injure the right of others to do business
But insofar as itinerant vendors can help dispose
of oversupplies of cheap, otherwise wasted stock, anc
spread flowers among those who otherwise could no
enjoy them, are they not, perhaps, a factor in th<
industry that should be controlled rather than perse
cuted, guided into useful channels rather than pre
vented from doing honest work?

"The only means of saving retail stores from even
tual obliteration is to organize them into chains," ii
what Edward A. Filene of Boston told a State com
mission on unemployment according to a news des
patch. It is not stated whether he referred to al
kinds of retail shops, but certainly there is nothinj
to prevent one from exercising his imagination b;
applying the chain store idea to the florist business
Its success may be seen today on every side in con
nection with drug and cigar stores, groceries, cand;
shops, bakeries, five-and-ten cent establishments an<
other lines. We would not be at all surprised if the
same sort of reward came to the first individual o
firm to take the chain method of cutting down "over
head" and making possible lower retail prices an(
relatively greater net profits.

The Exchange is proud to be able to present to it
readers a "scoop." This, in journalistic language
is something new and interesting which a paper put
lishes in advance of all of its contemporaries. Ou
particular scoop is the illustration accompanying thi
week's installment of Dr. Benedict's series of fen
articles. Never before, he says, has it been possibl
to picture a collection of fronds representing in un
broken sequence the seven generations of Nephrolepi
sports ranging from the simple, wild Sword Fern, t'
the modern, lacy Craigi variety. The development o
this remarkable family of slightly differing forms i
of tremendous significance scientifically, since it give
us in the ferns living examples of more generatio;
types than are available in any other group or divi
sion of the botanical kingdom. Fern growers, re i
tailers who handle Bostons, and fern enthusiast
generally can well think of these things and tak
fresh pride in the industry of which they are a part.

It cannot be said tbat the Chrysanthemum is losing
favor in New York. The two exhibitions held in the
city last week, demonstrated that while the Singles
and Pompons are gaining popularity, the large exhibi-
tion sorts have not (alien back. The display at the
Museum was the best the Horticultural Society "of
New York has held for some years. Possibly the
backwardness of the 'Hums this season fitted in with
the dates of the New York shows, but in any case,
the strong competition at the Museum showed that
the gardening fraternity and owners of the various
estates around New York, are developing a greater
interest in shows than ever.

One gets the impression that the Horticultural So-
ciety of New York is gaining greater power and
we begin to have visions that it will be a big factor
in American horticulture. When private and trade
interests unite to make a society and work with one
aim progress is sure.

The R. H. S. of England has over 15,000 members ;
think of it, and yet it once nearly died of inertia.

St. Louis's Big Show

After a war-enforced lapse of several years the
annual flower show iu all its beauty and significance
has come back to St. Louis — and apparently the
trade, if not the public, too, has welcomed it with
open arms. Reports seem to indicate a rather light
attendance during the first half of the week, which
may have been due in part to the failure of the
management to provide the trade tickets that in the
case of other shows have proved so effective in
boosting the early attendance and thereby stimulat-
ing valuable publicity at the psychological moment.

Also, it is suggested that the plant exhibits were
somewhat lacking in quality if not in quantity. This,

I however, may have been the result of an instinctive
comparison between the plant materials and the mag-
nificent cut flowers shown.
St. Louis can well be proud of one thing, and that

1 is the way in which the local retailers came forward
and added to the effect and interest of the exhibition.
Twenty-two retail displays there were ! And recent

I prominent national shows have found it difficult to
secure but one or two ! Every one of those 22 retail-
ers, it seems to us, deserves a medal and a vote of
thanks. Incidentally the success of the show in this
respect augurs most happily for the next F. T. D.
meeting when that enterprising organization jour-
neys out to St. Louis a year hence.

Coal Costs and Comparisons

Some Interesting Figures from Kalamazoo, Mich.

The coal situation in this section has apparently-
settled down to what will probably be the normal
for this Winter, and we growers find that having fol-
lowed the advice of our Government officials and
held off on our buying, we are now called upon to
stand a 25 per cent raise as a result. At least this
is true in my case and from what I learn about the
same obtains elsewhere in this vicinity.

Hence we find an increase of some $18 or $20 per
1000 sq. ft. of glass over last year's fuel costs ; and
there is not much relief in sight, for my own experi-
ence shows that fuel values and prices are as finely
adjusted and balanced as the works of a first-class
watch.

The value of standard Hocking Valley coal at
$8 per ton is about the same as that of West Virginia
lump at $10 or inferior grades of Indiana or Michi-
gan coal at $6.50 or $7. In this connection the smaller
growers will probably find the best the most satis-
factory. In regard to coke, hard coal and Solvay
coke are about the same in price and in my home
furnace have about the same heating values, when
both are good, but I find good coke more regular or
rather more reliable as to quality than hard coal.
Gas house coke is as good as either, but at $2 or $2.50
per ton cheaper is no more economical, as it does not
last so long. Mixed wood at $5 or $5.50 per cord
equals the coke or coal at above prices, but requires
lots of attention — and so it goes. No matter what
you get the approximate cost is the same.

Oil for cooking purposes is, no doubt, the cheapest
fuel just now, but its price varies with the demand ;
with a largely increased demand for fuel purposes
it, no doubt, will soon get in line with other ma-
terials.

In contrast with present day prices, back in 1892 in
Massachusetts I paid $5 per long ton for Lehigh coal
delivered in the bin. Here in Michigan I have bought
it at the same price except that they were short tons.

oft Michigan coal at $2.85 was the cheapest I ever
bought, but lots of times I have paid $3.25 to $3.50.
finally it reached $3.85, which was about the stand-
ard prewar figure. However in Manchester, England,
we did better yet, for there we got coke breeze for

nothing and the team hauled if when at leisure. In
London, for several years, we burnt cinders at about.
$2 per ton when discounted ; this was one of the
most satisfactory fuels I ever burned. Coke, how-
ever, was the standard fuel and, usually bought by
the load, altogether a cheap and satisfactory fuel.

It is also interesting to note that back in the '90s
one man and team hauled in a day rather more than
two men and a truck do now, which shows that labor
saving devices don't always act up to schedule and
that, incidentally, haulage costs one 300 per cent
higher than they used to be. S. B.

Gardening a Progressive Profession

The bugaboo that the American youth cannot be
interested in the profession of gardening and, that it
holds no attraction for him as a life work, has been
exploded through the publicity given the new course
in horticulture introduced by the Massachusetts Agri-
cultural College in cooperation with the National
Association of Gardeners.

Inquiries are being received by the college and the
association from young men of moderate circum-
stances, as well as from some more fortunately
blessed, from all parts of the country, desiring to learn
what the future offers to those who will take up the
vocation of gardening. They are seeking something
that will occupy their time in the great outdoors and
that will not confine them to the four walls of an
office or the hubbub of an industrial plant. As one
expressed himself, "free from the consequences of
radical agitators sowing discontent," to which the
gardener is not now subjected, nor ever will be.

There has been some criticism from horticulturists
that the course is not broad enough iu its scope and
that it will tend to limit students by confining their
future efforts to country estates, which, it is claimed,
do not offer sufficiently lucrative inducements. This
is far from the fact, for the gardener, whether in that
capacity or as a superintendent or manager, who has,
in addition to his salary, a comfortable home provided
and other requisites included such as his coal, light,
and products of the place, has by far a better chance
to practise thrift (an essential of today and it will
be for some time to come) and save, than the average
office worker has. There are many in the medical,
legal, and theological professions who are not so com-
fortably situated.

After the student has completed his training, there
is nothing to restrict him as to which of the many-
branches of horticulture he may desire to pursue,
commercial or otherwise. Iu addition to the private
estates, the field is open to him for specializing in
public park development, landscape gardening on an
extensive scale, or in catering to the owners of small
country and suburban home grounds, as the increas-
ing suburban population opens up new opportunities.
And there still remains the broader field- of commer-
cial horticulture which he may choose to enter.

Twelve years ago, the convention of the Gardeners
Association occupied only two hours, while those of
recent years have been of two days' duration for the
business sessions, and two days devoted to instruc-
tion and entertainment in visiting points of horticul-
tural interest. By this one can realize what progress
the profession is making. Today the proficient gar-
dener is no longer regarded as but little more than
a handy man, as was generally so only a few years
ago in this country. He is respected as a member of
a profession that is bringing joy to the lives of man-
kind.

When such prominent men of affairs as J. Ogden
Armour. Samuel Untermeyr, W. R. Coe, R. T. Crane,
Jr. and Heury Hunnewell. owners of the most exten-
sive country estates in America, became so interested
in the profession, as to invite its members to their
estates during their conventions and personally enter-
tain them, it is surely coming into its own. And with
the interest manifested towards it by such well-known
women as Mrs. Samuel Sloan, Mrs. Francis King, Mrs.
Henry Hunnewell, Mrs. R. T. Crane, Jr., Miss M. R.
Case, and others who are devoted to the future of
American horticulture, it rests with the gardener lo
make more generally known in his respective com-
munity, what his profession and his association is
striving to accomplish. It aims to create a closer
bondship among all engaged in and interested in gar-
dening ; to stimulate the advancement of American
horticulture through civic planting and the beautify-
ing of home grounds, whether extensive or moderate.

Another Quarantine Hearing

A public hearing will take place at Washington,
D. C, on Nov. 20 to consider a Federal quarantine
on Alabama and Louisiana to prevent the spread of
the camphor scale which first made its appearance
in New Orleans in 1920, supposedly on a shipment of
Orange trees from Japan in 1911. The pest not only
attacks citrus fruits but Olives, Privet, Persimmon,
Figs, Plums and Pecans. Its progress since 1920 has

been rapid, according to Dr. Marlatt and need of
control is urgently felt.

Assuming this scale was introduced into Alabama
in 1911 growers and inspectors were somewhat slow
in observing its activities.

What the California Nurserymen
Say and Think

Editor The Florists Exchange:

My attention has been called to an article in your
issue of the 21st inst., quoting a letter from this
association to Dr. C. L. Marlatt regarding Quaran-
tine 37. The use made of this letter, and the infer-
ences drawn by foes of the Plant Act, are wholly
unwarranted.

On the 23d inst., the executive committee of this
association adopted a resolution by unanimous vote
dealing with this question, and ordered sent the fol-
lowing telegram to the Federal Horticultural Board :

Dr. C. D. Marlatt.
Federal Horticultural Board,
Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. C.

California Association of Nurserymen emphatically
disavows use made of our letter of April 27. Advise you
to disregard representations by Vaughan and others
regarding our position, last paragraph of our letter on
admission of plants being misconstrued and attempt
being made to mislead public as to our real position.
Careful reading will show that sole intent was to re-
quest admission of these items only until sufficient
stocks received for propagation. Our position empha-
sized in resolutions adopted at executive committee
meeting in Los Angeles, Oct. 23, as follows:

Whereas, The Executive Committee of the California
Association of Nurserymen passed a resolution on
April 27 endorsing the Federal Plant Quarantine Act,
a copy of which was mailed to the Secretary of Agri-
culture and Chairman of the Federal Horticultural
Board,

And Whereas, The American Association of Nursery-
men have heartily endorsed this Plant Quarantine Act
at a recent convention,

And Whereas, The Society of American Florists and
Ornamental Horticulturists assembled at Kansas City
during August 1922, rejected the report of the Tariff
and Legislative Committee, disapproving of the com-
mittee's attitude and efforts in opposing Qu. 37,
thereby expressing the approval of the society of the
Plant Act by practically a unanimous vote,

And Whereas, Since the adoption of our resolutions
of last April it has been found that there have been
many advances in the production of several items there
mentioned, with the result that several of these items
could be eliminated,

And Whereas. Some few members of the trade are
not willing to abide by these decisions in a democratic
spirit and accept the vote of the majority,

Therefore. Be It Resolved, That the California Asso-
ciation of Nurserymen resents any efforts of any indi-
vidual or committee who attempts to mislead the pub-
lic concerning the stand of this association, which con-
tinues to approve of the efforts of the Federal Horti-
cultural Board and stands ready to cooperate and ad-
vise with it at any time.

position in this matter, I trust you will give the

Francis J. Tighe

■ The many friends of Francis J. (Bud) Tighe, well-
known and popular greenhouse salesman, will be
sorry to learn of his sudden death on the afternoon
of Nov. 1.

Mr. Tighe had always enjoyed the best of health,
but on the day of his death he stated that he was not
feeling well. While en route to call on two or three
florists he stopped at a doctor's office for diagnosis of
his illness, and while there succumbed to an attack
of acute indigestion.

Mr. Tighe, who was 30 years old, was born in
Buffalo, and since his graduation from Canisius High
School in 1912 has been connected with the King
Construction Co., first as manager of the New Eng-
land territory, and later manager of the western
New York, western Pennsylvania and Ohio territory.

During the World War Mr. Tighe saw service in
France with the Thirteenth Regiment, U. S. Marine
Corps. He was a member of the Semper Fidelis Club
of the Marine Corps and the Buffalo Floral Club.

The funeral was held Saturday morning, Nov. 4,
from his late residence in Oxford ave., Buffalo, N. Y.
Burial was at Mount Olivet Cemetery. The many
wonderful floral offerings silently spoke of the esteem
in which Mr. Tighe was held by his many friends.
He is survived by his mother, sister and two brothers.

The Florists Exchange

foregoing equal publicity, thus correcting any misap-
prehension on the part of the public as to our attitude
on this act. Chanceixob K. Geadt, Secretary.

San Francisco, Oct. 27, 1922.

WHAT THE EXCHANGE THINKS

The aim of The Exchange is, and consistently has
been since the beginning of the Qu. 37 controversy,
to prevent misapprehension on the part of the public.
On the chance that the above letter may contribute to
that end we are glad to publish it as requested. But
in doing so we beg to call to the attention of the Cali-
fornia Association of Nurserymen and all others in-
terested, these facts :

1. We know of no inferences drawn from the asso-
ciation's letter of April 27 that were not wholly
based on and justified by the wording of the letter.
We have stated that it "voices almost exactly the
same opinions and constructive criticisms" previously
advanced by representatives of both florists and ama-
teurs. Well, it does.

2. We do not know of a single individual or firm
that can truthfully be called one of the "foes of the
Plant Act." No one, to our knowledge, criticises the
Act of 1912 or its purpose. It is the attitude, inter-
pretations and administrative activities of the pres-
ent F. H. B. which are objected to as arbitrary, often
unnecessary, and both unauthorized and uncontem-
plated by Congress in passing the Act.

3. Accepting the association's assertion that the
sole intent of the letter was "to request the admissioa
of these items only until sufficient stocks received for
propagation," we ask (a) If there is any possible
chance of these items bringing in dangerous pests,
how can the association justify its request that the
Board let them in, whether for one year or one
month? (b) If they are not definitely known to be
carriers of such pests, what right under the Act has
the Board to exclude them?

4. We submit that the adoption of the resolution
disapproving the action of the S. A. F Tariff and
Legislation Committee by the August convention
(scarcely 100 of the 4000 members being present at
that session) was by no means a "practically unani-
mous vote" of the members of the Society, nor neces-
sarily an expression of the views of the majority of
the trade. Moreover, that same convention also
adopted a resolution calling for a letter of protest
to the Secretary of Agriculture against the treatment
of the society and its representatives at the P. H. B.
Conference in May.

Whether it voices protest or approval, and no mat-
ter in what tone it speaks, the California Association
of Nurserymen takes a stand that cannot possibly
be— and we do not think it is — -misinterpreted. This
is, in brief, that it welcomes any measure that will
enable it to secure the propagating stock necessary
for the firm establishment of an industry in which it
can hardly fear any severe competition from other
sections of the country ; that so long as it can secure
these stocks and, as soon as possible, market their
produce throughout the country, it doesn't care what
restrictions are put upon other materials or other
growers elsewhere; and that, while California is
building up its horticultural business, it desires that
all foreign competition be prevented — whether by
tariff or quarantine, who cares?

The question is, Is such an attitude representative
of the nation, its horticulture and its best interests
generally ?

be permitted entry. To permit the free entry of any
class of bulbs now being grown here, even though
for only two or three years, would undoubtedly be a
serious blow to the domestic growers and might
result in their losing the money which they had in-
vested.

The Board still has the matter under consideration,
and will probably make no decision until it is sure
that all the testimony for and against the proposed
changes has been received. C. L. L.

What We Know About Boston Ferns

By R. C. BENEDICT

V— How to Distinguish the Different Varieties

THE average layman has heard of only one kind
of Boston Fern, yet all the once-divided forms
are Boston Ferns, even the wild Christmas or
Dagger Fern of the cut-leaf trade. Confronted by
several distinct types of cultivated Nephrolepis he
will manifest a vague uneasiness — "Oh, I didn't know
there were different kinds."

The average retailer has probably heard of more
than one kind. He usually knows and can name cor-
rectly the half-dozen or more sorts which he meets in
the ordinary run of trade, but he will scarcely be able
to state their distinguishing characteristics, even
though these are really simple and easily described.

The grower will know fern varieties or not accord-
ing to his experience with them. If they constitute
but a small part of his output, he may know no more
than the retailer. If, however, ferns are a major crop
with him and particularly if he has happened to in-
troduce a variety of his own, he may have a discrim-
inating knowledge of a wide range of varieties. How-
ever. I can name on the fingers of one hand those
whom I have met in visiting florists from Boston to
Columbus who have had a practically complete ex-
perience with the whole range of Boston Fern va-
rieties.

Because of this generally incomplete knowledge in
the trade the writer has arranged in the past for the
distribution of small plants in sets of varieties to

florists all over the country ; requests for them have
come from as far as New Zealand. The present dis-
tribution in connection with the experimental test
described in the previous article also helps to spread
an accurate knowledge of different sorts. The Brook-
lyn Botanical Garden collection includes every va-
riety that could be obtained. European forms art
represented as a result of importations from May and
Rochford of England, and Lemoine of France. The
better the florist knows the different sorts, the bettei
able he is to advise the public and stimulate its in
terest.
The Three Main Groups

The more than 100 named varieties may be classi
fied into three main groups according to the amoun
of leaf division as : Once-divided, that is, once pinnat:
or "plain;" plume, which are two or three times dl
vided or pinnate ; and lace, which range from three ti
five times divided or pinnate. The term "pinnate'
refers to the feathering of the leaf, whether once, a;
in the original Boston Fern ; twice as in Piersoni am
'Scholzeli ; three times, as in Whitmani ; four times
or as in the lace form, Smithi, etc. Some varietie
will be found about on the dividing line between tw
such groups. Thus, Piersoni and Wanamakeri pro
duce two sorts of leaves, some once pinnate and som
twice pinnate; but each may be placed according t
the type of leaf predominating under ordinary condi
tions.

The accompanying illustration shows seven leaves
each typical for a different form, the division rang
ing from once to five times pinnate. Starting at th
right the first leaf from a Florida collection of wil
Sword Fern, and the second (from an ordinary Bos
ton Fern), are clearly in class one. The third (Piei
soni), the fourth (Barrowsi), and the fifth (Whil
mani), belong in the plume class, with leaves twic
and thrice pinnate. Some of the plume class borde
on the lace group in appearance, but are ordinaril
much larger, and the smallest divisions or segment
of the leaf are normally much larger. The sixth an
seventh leaves (Smithi and Craigi) are respectivel
four and five times divided in their typical develoi
ment. Only three varieties have come to my notice i
which a five pinnate condition is reached. These ar
Craigi, of R. A. Craig of Philadelphia, "Emeral
fleece" of John Lewis Childs of Floral Park, N. 5
and Willinotse, of H. B. May of England.

It should be noted that the series of seven leavt
here pictured represents a true genealogical serie
Each successive form appeared as a sport of the oi
preceding it. From the wild Sword Fern came th
Boston Fern, also once pinnate but more ruffled, mal
ing a better looking plant, of better cultural qualitie
Twenty odd years ago Piersoni appeared as a vari:
tion from the Boston, with the distinct break of twic
divided leaves, but otherwise similar in growth habit
Barrowsi followed, a little shorter (typically) tha
Piersoni and with the leaves a little more divide
From Barrowsi came Whitmani, distinctly, three pi:
nate, and somewhat smaller. There is some questic
whether Smithi came directly from Whitmani or nc
but other similar varieties, such as Goodi and graci

Western^Interests Urge No Quarantine
Modifications

F. H. B. Delaying Decision Promised at Bulb Con-
ference until all Testimony is in Hand

Washington, D. C— Western bulb growers, it is
learned at the offices of the Federal Horticultural
Board, are sending strong protests to Washington
against the relaxation of the restrictions which now
surround the importation of bulbs.

Because of the fact that the domestic growers were
not represented at the hearing held by the Board on
Oct. 30, C. L. Marlatt, chairman, announced at that
time that no action would be taken pending the re-
ceipt of opinions from the West as to the advisability
of adding to the list of bulbs of which free importa-
tion is permitted. According to such information as
can be secured from the Board, the mass of the testi-
mony from the growers is strongly against anv such
action.

During the course of the meeting, at which im-
porters and dealers were in the majority, Dr. Mar-
latt pointed out that any extension of the permitted
list must be made with a view to not injuring the
domestic industry. He pointed out that large sums
of money have been invested in bulb growing, on the
strength of the assertion by the Board when the
quarantine was first promulgated that only such
items as could not be raised in this country would

The St. Louis Flower Show

Cut Flowers and Retail Exhibits Prove Dominant Features — Complete

Report of All Departments, including Trade Displays, Prize Lists, The

Banquet and Other Matters of Interest

AT this writing (Nov. 10) the show has three
more days to go. The attendance has not been
large so far, but is showing a good increase
each day. It is evident that the big crowds will come
Saturday and Sunday, the closing days.

The interest of visitors is held at a high point from
day to day by the varied special exhibits scheduled,
every day having a feature of one sort or another.
Chrysanthemums were supreme Tuesday, then Wed-
nesday Carnations dominated the exhibition. Thurs-
; day was Rose Day and the best day so far from the
viewpoint of attendance.

There were special features for the retailers as
well as table decorations and bridal bouquets on
Tuesday. Baskets and corsages were shown on Wed-
nesday, and novelty exhibits on Thursday kept vis-
itors interested. The cooperation of the retailers was
splendid ; they not only installed handsome booths,
but kept them in prime condition all the week. Fresh
flowers were brought in and changes made in the ar-
rangements of some of them daily. In general they
looked as fresh toward the end of the week as they
did on the opening day.

Florists Telegraph Delivery Booth

The F. T. D. A. had an attractive booth with a
full working force of the Western Union operatives
' in attendance. The wires were clicking all the time.
Back of the booth was a mountain of Southern Moss
surmounted by the slogan sign. A sign bearing the
name of all St. Louis members was conspicuously dis-
played. Two stylish young women attended to the
wants of visitors and answered all questions per-
taining to the service.

The Missouri Botanical Gardens

These contributed freely to the exhibition. One
large table containing 150 varieties of Chrysanthe-
mums ranging all the way from the tiniest Pompons
to the very large exhibition bloom was a feature of
particular interest. A large circular bed of single
stem and single bloom Chrysanthemums made an ex-
cellent showing where one entered the Coliseum.
There was besides a table of plant curiosities, includ-
ing the Pitcher Plants (Nepenthes), as well as the
Venus Fly Trap (Dkmwa irmscipula), the Sensitive
Plant, the Mangosteen, Eucalyptus, Living Rock, Va-
nilla plant, the Bible Fig, the Daniel Boone Elm, the
Cypress or big tree of California, ant-loving plants,
etc. L. P. Jensen and Geo. Pring were in attendance
at the show most of the time and answered the vis-
itors' questions on all matters pertaining to plant
life.

. The St. Louis Parks

The park authorities contributed much to the show.
A number of large palms distributed about the Coli-
seum, especially in the Apple exhibit, all came from
the Park greenhouses. Two large beds filled with

i handsome plants of Single and Pompon Chrysanthe-
mums, on either side of the entrance, were an added

'. attraction apart from the retailers and competitive
exhibits.

Other Special Displays

J. B. Goetz, Saginaw, Mich., exhibited a large vase
of the new Pompon Sunshine that the company is dis-
tributing. Baur & Steinkamp, Indianapolis, Ind.,
showed an immense vase of seedling Chrysanthemums
not yet disseminated. There were probably over 100
different blooms showing a wide range of color. All
were all of excellent form and finish. Another large
vase of a beautiful new Pompon Nugget shown by
the same company was highly admired.

The E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind., exhibited the
new Rose America in a handsomely decorated booth.
The large central vase contained 100 or more blooms.
There was also a smaller vase of Amelia Gude in the
same booth. Stuppy Floral Co., St. Joseph, Mo., ex-
hibited the new Rose Annie Laurie in a purple and
gold trimmed, canopied booth. Concealed lights il-
luminated the booth and showed the Rose off to won-
derful advantage. The St. Louis Wholesale Cut
Flower Co. displayed two handsome groups of Pan-
danus Veitchii and ferns, one on each side of the ex-
hibition space. They were well arranged, the bor-
ders being sodded and maintained in perfect order
during the show.

The Silver Medal offered by the Garden Club of
America for the best collection of ten varieties of
hardy Pompon Chrysanthemums was awarded to
C. H. Totty, Madison, N. J.

The Society of American Florists and Ornamental
Horticulturists Medal was awarded to Geo. H. Pring
of the Missouri Botanical Gardens for the best new
specimen of the new Nyniphasa, Mrs. G. H. Pring.

The Henry Shaw Medal (Missouri Botanical Gar-
dens) for the best new introduction not previously
exhibited in the United States was not awarded, there
being nothing offered of sufficient merit Similarly
the S. A. F. and O. H. Medal for the best new foli-
age plant not yet exhibited in the United States was
not awarded for the same reason.

The judges were: Prof. Arno H. Nehrling, Cornell
University, Ithaca, N. V. ; Albert T. Hey, Maywood,
111., and John Moritz, Forest Park Greenhouses, St.
Louis.

Of growing Chrysanthemums, there were no large
plants in any of the classes for Single specimens and
only second premiums were awarded in some cases.
The groups were, however, quite attractive.

The banquet was held Thursday evening in the large
dining room of the Claridge Hotel. It was an elegant
affair, being graced with many ladies. A delectable
menu was served and there were professional enter-
tainers as well as community singing. It was also a
lively gathering, some odd stunts being pulled off for
the enjoyment of the visitors. At one time a fight
started between a waiter and a guest that for the
time being alarmed the entire party. It turned out
that the waiter who was going to be forcibly ejected
was a professional entertainer, who immediately
jumped on to the platform and began to sing.

Toward the close of the entertainment, J. F. Am-
mann took the opportunity to thank everybody for
the splendid assistance given him in putting the ex-
hibition over, the growers, wholesalers, retailers,
traveling men, trade exhibitors, the trade of St. Louis
in general, the trade papers, and the exhibitors from
afar.

The Chrysanthemum Society of America was es-
pecially thanked for coming to St. Louis and cooperat-
ing in putting up the fine show.

On behalf of the C. S. A., C. W. J ohnson thanked
the St. Louis Florists Club and the trade of the city
in general for the kind reception given the society.

He proposed a rising vote of thanks to the St. Louis
florists for their kindly treatment. The members not
only rose, but gave a ringing cheer at the same time.
The dining room was then cleared for dancing all
the guests retiring to the outer rooms. A moving
picture outfit ( ?) was installed to take the members
of the party as they marched in. When they were
fully settled before the camera another stunt was
pulled off ; at the snap of a cracker the camera burst
open and a little girl jumped out, who, in a pretty
speech, greeted the visitors and welcomed them to St.
Louis and afterward did some fancy dancing. After
the entertainment program was finished dancing by
the entire party was continued until a late hour*
About 200 guests attended the banquet.

Business of importance calling him back earlier than
was- expected.

A. F. Longren, who was suffering from a cold when
he arrived in St. Louis Monday, failed to improve, and
left for home in Chicago, Wednesday morning. Fortu-
nately Bob Newcomb, also of the Burlington Willow
Ware Co., was on hand and looked after the exhibit
in his absence.

E. W. Burkhart of the Glen Eyre Greenhouses, Colo-
rado Springs, Colo., slipped in for one of the premiums
in the C. S. A. class, although not a member. He has,
however, signified his intention of joining the society.

The American Bulb Co. came in Wednesday morning
with an attractive exhibit. Although it arrived a day

late, the lost time was made up by Vincent Neil, thi
redoubtable salesman, who had charge of the exhibit.

Not often does one see standard grown plants of thi
old Lantanas. The W. C. Smith Co. (Wholesale Flo
rists) exhibited four well-grown standard plants witl
clear stems 3ft. high and in full bloom. The variety
was Lantana Craigi.

Besides the exhibition stock shown by the Elmer D
Smith Co., Adrian, Mich., it provided several groups o.
Pompon 'Mums elsewhere about the hall.

The large gold frame that formed the setting for thi
Chrysanthemums shown by W. H. Kruse was a strik
ing feature of the exhibition. There was one like i
at the uptown Chicago show, but not so elaboratel;1
set up as this. It was a complete picture in every sensi
of the word and a credit to the exhibitor.

Several plants of the Bead Plant (Nertera depressa'
shown by the W. C. Smith Co. attracted much atten
tion. Although quite an old thing, it was new to mans
of the visitors.

A. N. Pierson Co., Cromwell, Conn., staged a hand
some combination of baskets, showing the new Rosi
Commonwealth.

The new white Water Lily Mrs. G. H. Pring bloome<
in the basin at the foot of the apple tower during thi
entire show. Mr. Pring managed to hold back soirn
late plants of this excellent novelty, especially for thi
show.

The D. Hill Nursery Co., Dundee, 111., furnished thi
conifers that surrounded the base of the apple tower
There were some handsome specimens and they madi
an excellent showing.

Soon after the Rose award of first prize for displaj
in any color was made to the Stuppy Floral Co. witl
Annie Laurie, the band struck up the famous old som.
as if by intuition. B. W. Murphy, who was present a
the time fairly fell all over himself, so great was his
satisfaction.

M. C. Wright of the Lord & Burnham Co. was or
hand all the time to entertain his friends royally. His
reception space was one of the most popular places ir
the Coliseum.

The exterior of the Coliseum was decorated witr
Cedar trees and evergreens. The electric posts through-
out the principal business streets were also deeoratec
with pennants calling attention to the flower show.
The street cars all carried posters about it.

Geo. Asmus was in attendance, it being stated there
was to be a meeting' of National Flower Show Com-
mittee during the show. This was, however, called ofl
by Mr. Asmus as the time was inopportune, it being
election week and many of the members of the com-
mittee being unable to attend.

This was the first flower show St. Louis had held
since 1917, the war and other conditions having made
the undertaking an uncertainty until now. A good
Spring show will come up for consideration at no very
distant date.

Chrysanthemum Society of America

Annual Meeting

President, Earl W. Mann, Richmond, Ind.

Vice-President, A. J. F. Baur, Indianapolis, Ind.

Treasurer, Chas. H. Totty, Madison, N. J.

Secretary, Chas. W. Johnson, Rockford, 111.

Next Place of Meeting, Indianapolis, Ind.
Nov. 1923

Vice-president W. E. Rowe opened the meeting
welcoming the members to St. Louis. There was a
small but enthusiastic representation of members.
The meeting was held in an anteroom of the Coliseum
on Wednesday, the second evening of the show.

The president's address was well received and was
referred to a committee consisting of Chas. Totty
and A. J. F. Baur for report. This committee later
reported and agreed with the recommendations of the
president to be carried out with regard to the ap-
pointment of State vice-presidents and getting into
the society a larger membership.

The secretary and treasurer's report for the past
year were read and referred to committees for ap-
proval and, finally, received and adopted.

The matter of confining exhibitors in the classes
of the C. S. A. to members only was next taken up.
There is already a ruling that competition is open to
members only. In this instance two exhibitors had
won premiums who were not members. It was de-
cided the premiums be awarded to these exhibitors
as soon as they made application for membership in
the society.

Chas. Totty called attention to the fact that the
judging in all cases should be done between the hours
of 2 and 4 o'clock p.m. on the opening day of the
exhibition. When flowers are unpacked and staged
and permitted to stand for hours before judging they
show up at a disadvantage especially those shipped
from a distance. The recommendations were well re-
ceived and at all future shows the judging will be
done more promptly. The election of officers for the
ensuing year was next taken up with the result as
shown above. It being customary to continue the presi-
dent in office for two years, Chas. Totty moved that
E. H. Mann to be nominated to succeed himself when
nominations closed and the election was made unani-
mous. A. J. F. Baur was elected vice-president with-

November IS, 1922.

out opposition, as well as Treasurer Totty and Secre-
tary Johnson.

On behalf of the Indiana State Florists Associa-
tion, Mr. Baur invited the society to hold its next
meeting and exhibition in Indianapolis. There being
' no other invitations it was unanimously agreed that
Indianapolis be the next place of meeting. Mr. Baur
stated that the florists there would in all probability
back it up with a big show as was done in St. Louis,
and the C. S. A. exhibition could be held there with-
out additional cost to the society.

B. Witterstatter of the examining committee of
Cincinnati made some recommendations for changes
in the scale of judging Pompons. It was decided to
take this up with the members through the trade-
papers, it being of too much importance for the mem-
bers present to take immediate action on.

Enlarging the Membership

The problem of getting a larger membership into
the society was talked freely upon; the State vica-
president's plan is good, but the getting of associate
members from garden clubs and other organizations
was also recommended. The members of these asso-
ciations are all interested in the cultivation of hardy
'Mums. The American Rose Society had many influ-
ential associate members and the Chrysanthemum So-
ciety should take steps to secure such a membership.
This matter was left in the hands of Chas. Totty to
confer with Mrs. Stout of the garden club of America
and see what can be accomplished in this line.

Eobt. Kift of Philadelphia called attention to the
fact that after Chrysanthemums were staged at the
shows some one should have charge of them to freshen
them up and keep them in as good condition as pos-
sible during the life of the show. Many of the wilted
flowers could be revived if some one was commis-
sioned to do so instead of letting the flowers take
care of themselves as is the case of flowers shipped
from a distance without any one to look after them.
This recomendation was well received and the secre-
tary was instructed to take the matter up with the
local committee at the next place of meeting and
see that the proper arrangements were made to take
proper care of the blooms after the judging was done.

Communication was read from L. C. Vincent of
the Ohio District Growers Association regarding the
standardization of Chrysanthemums as to grade,
length of stem, size of bloom and other qualifications,
asking for the society's cooperation. It was agreed
to cooperate so as to bring about a universal stand-
ard for all Chrysanthemum blooms as far as is pos-
sible.

The secretary proposed the names of Henry Wehr-
mann, Maywood, 111., Fred Lemon, Richmond, Ind.,
and Lem S. Elder of Indianapolis for membership in
the association.

L. P. Jensen spoke from the viewpoint of a private
gardener and said the society could greatly increase
its membership by appealing to them.

With class B in premium list which calls for six
varieties of Pompons, 12 sprays of each variety with
stems not less than ISin. long to a vase, for which a
silver cup is offered, it was thought best to make a
change. On motion of C. H. Totty this was changed
j to one variety of Pompon instead of six, and not less
than 25 sprays. This should scale not less than S5
points. The change was adopted, the only objector
being A. J. F. Baur who thought the number of
sprays 25 was too many.

Their being no further business the meeting closed.

The American Institute

Ninety-first Annual Fair, New York City,
November 8 to 10

NINETY-ONE years is a long period, but it must
be understood that the present day New York
City fair is such in name only. Today it is
just a Fall exhibition of flowers, fruit and vegetables
with maybe a few Mangolds to give it an agricul-
tural touch. The schedule does arrange for agricul-
tural implements, but no one cares.

Seemingly, the powers that be like to play at
make believe, so despite the fact that New York
City has grown up, they appropriate a sum and place
it at the disposal of a committee and the committee
does its best.

This writer is not personally enamored with com-
mittee run flower shows ; he feels that horticulture is
not stimulated to any extent if the purpose of the
show is to spend money, or to make money for no
particular purpose. If this appropriation could be
utilized for the purpose of building a real horticul-
tural hall, it would be serving New York to good pur-
pose, but presumably it cannot be. The appropria-
tion is for a fair, and as it is presumably impossible

to make it agricultural, the committee does its best
by engineering a flower show and appointing jovial
Win. C. Rickards, Jr., to manage it.

The show was scarcely so large as usual, but was
well attended.

We visited the show at the Engineers Building, W.
39th St. on the second day ; the doors opened at 1
p.rn. on the Sth inst. On the whole the flowers had
stood up well ; in a few instances the 'Mums had
fallen sick, maybe they liad served a turn at other
shows. It is unfair on flowers to stage them one
afternoon, admit the public for three hours and then
shut up the hall for 12 hours. That means 12 hours
of the flowers' life, the best hours, too, are spent in
a stuffy room, unadmired. It's a rotten state of af-
fairs, for the real flower lover who wants to see
them in daylight has no chance. It's all very well,
too, to make a rule that all prize winning exhibitors
must keep their displays fresh, until the close. It
can't be done, sir. But as stated, the sleepy ones
were not numerous, except among the Carnations ;
some of these were, oh ! so drowsy.

The Chrysanthemums

Prospect Park, Brooklyn, was represented by three
finely grown, trained bush plants of huge size. These,
as usual, were in the lower foyer and being grown
in the open, they reflected credit on Commissioner
John N. Harinan and Supt. B. Rothberg. The pink
variety, which was awarded first prize, was well
flowered and over Oft. through. The big bloom classes
for private growers were fairly well contested ; only
in one or two classes was there a real walkover. Mrs.
H. M. Tilford, Tuxedo, N. Y., gdr. G. Tansley, led
with 10 bronze showing W. Waite; with ten in va-
riety, Mrs. Payne Whitney, Manhasset, gdr. Geo.
Ferguson, held the lead.

With IS blooms three varieties E. L. Bayer, Mt.
Kiseo, just managed to beat Mrs. Payne Whitney.
Nerissa and Vermont were good, while yellow Turner
and Odessa were tine as shown by Mrs. P. Whitney.

Twenty blooms one variety, long stems is no easy
class, but G. F. Baker, Tuxedo, N. Y., gdr. Wm. El-
lings, put up a good score of Dr. Enguehard. of
medium size, but even, Mrs. H. B. Plant, Groton,
Conn., gdr. Wm. Milne, scored with 20 yellow, show-
ing grand flowers of Yellow Turner. A. L. D. War-
ner, Mendsham, N. J., was a good second. Mrs. Payne
Whitney showed 20 wonderful Louisa Pockett in the
white class ; Thos. H. Roulston, Huntington, N. Y.,
gdr. F. Gordon, being placed second. Fortunate it
was they were judged the night before, for on the
second day this latter lot were ready for the dump
cart. A special was granted to A. L. D. Warner and
deservedly for with five entries, and all Louisa
Pockett, competition was warm.

The class for 24 blooms distinct, short stems, gave
Mrs. Payne Whitney a walkover; a fair lot of bloom,
but not even. The best were Nagirroe, Elberon, Wm.
Turner, Bob Pulling, Yellow Pockett and Wm. Mease.
The 12 bloom class brought three entries and How-
ard Cole, Madison, N. J., had some great blooms of
Pink Turner (Leslie Davis) — what a coarse flower
this is sometimes — Wm. Turner, Yellow Turner, and
Vermont. J. I. Blair, Tuxedo, N. Y., gdr. D. S. Mil-
ler was a fair second. J. I. Blair won over six other
entries with six distinct. Wm. Turner, Wm. Rigley,
Gilbert Drabble, Louisa Pockett, Mrs. Firestone and
Vermont were a fine even lot.

Mrs. P. Whitney was second with 18 long stemmed,
six varieties — S. H. Shonnard, gdr. G. Hale, taking
the lead. Although open to all, this, and practically
all other classes were left alone by the trade.

Mrs. P. Whitney showed a fine vase of ten Pink
Turner in the class for pink, but had to take sec-
ond to Mrs. Tilford with ten white. With ten yel-
low, Mrs. WTiitney again led over two others, show-
ing Yellow Turner in grand form.

With six yellow, long stems, A. L. D. Warner led
Mrs. H. Pratt, who showed superb examples of Yellow
Turner, while G. F. Baker scored with six crimson.
Mrs. M. Taylor-, Mt. Kisco, gdr. G. Scott, held the lead
with six very good Vermont ; A. L. D. Warner tak-
ing second place with Pink Turner, two blooms of
which were wonderfully fine. All these classes ran
from two to four entries.

The Anemone flowered classes were extremely in-
teresting, although the entries were limited to two
in each class. Mrs. H. B. Plant showed a splendid
half dozen White Wonder; also Wee Wah, bronze.
Mrs. T. Cockcroft, Saganop, Conn., staged a wonder-
fully fine vase of Graf Von Oriole Rose, which fairly
towered above the1 others.

The classes for singles were decidedly hot and it
would be hard to imagine a finer vase of pink than
Mrs. H. Pratt's Cinderella. The same exhibitor had
a wonderful vase of Golden Mensa also. Eight en-
tries in each of these classes. With a vase of seed-
lings, Chas. H. Totty Co., Madison, scored with some
good things under number.

The competition with Pompons, too, was strong;
with ten hardy sorts, Mrs. H. B. Plant led in the
private growers' class, staging A. L. Moran, Mrs. H.
Vincent, Baby, Rena and others. Mrs. J. T. Pratt,
Glen Cove, N. Y., gdr. J. W. Everett, being a close
runner up. Chas. H. Totty alone showed 20 vases
of hardy sorts. Snowbird, white; Baby Margaret,
white; Bronze Doty; Pink Doty; Doris, dark red;
Capt. Cook, pink; Golden Climax, yellow; Little Pet)
pink, and others in splendid shape.

With a vase of crimson, Mrs. Chas. Mallory, Port
Chester, N. Y., gdr. J. Sealey, showed Doris in great
form, and also white Doty in the white class ; Golden
Climax in yellow, in the bronze class.

With a vase of Singles arranged for effect, Mrs.
H. J. Pratt set up Yellow Mensa and Ida Skiff, in-
termixed with Oak and other foliage. Three entries
in this class.

No greatly outstanding novelties were staged in
the various classes for new seedlings or sports. Chas.
H. Totty Co. scored with six yellow, an unnamed
Japanese of good color, and also with six pink, an
incurved Jap of considerable promise. Mrs. H. B.
Plant also scored with a red incurved sport with a
silvery reverse. Mrs. Shonnard staged a pretty pale
pink Anemone seedling which gained first in its class.

Roses and Carnations

Some excellent Roses were staged, but the com-
mercial growers were poorly represented. W. Vert,
Madison, N. J., alone showed a vase of yellow, Sun-
burst. The other classes were ignored, except the
novelty class. Chas. H. Totty Co. staged a great vase
and also a beautifully arranged basket of America.
A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn., showed Com-
monwealth. Both exhibits were given special awards.

The private growers were more keen and J. Insley
Blair, Tuxedo, gdr. D. S. Miller, Howard Cole, Madi-
son, N. J., gdr. W. R. Fowkes, and Mrs. McK. Twom-
bly, Convent, N. J., gdr. R. Tyson, gave each other a
close chase, all scoring first in turn in the five color
classes.

The Carnation classes brought no commercial en-
tries, but the private men were hot after the three
classes available. L. L. Dunham, Madison, N. J., gdr.
E. Widd, was first with six varieties, 12 of each;
Mrs. J. I. Blair led with three varieties, while A L.
D. Warner scored with 12 blooms of Laddie, over
four other competitors.

Plants and Specials

S. Untermyer, Yonkers, gdr. C. A. MacKay, staged
an excellent dozen plants in 6in. pots. These included
White Caprice, Butler's Caprice, Godfrey's Pet, a
beautiful single white Lillian Doty and Annie Laurie
The plants varied from ISin. to 24in. and carried about
30 blooms apiece. Mrs. P. Whitney was placed sec-
ond with taller plants of excellent quality.

Several special awards were made to vases of cut
bloom and to plants. Remarkable flowers were seen
on four 3ft. to 4ft. plants growing in 3i/>in. pots from
Mrs. M. Taylor, Mt. Kisco, gdr. G. C. Scott. The blooms
were from 6in. to Sin. and rivaled others shown in
much larger pots. Mrs. McK. Twombly showed a
fine vase of the crimson single Lady Astor.

Only Chas. Totty Co. showed 24 blooms, short stems
in the commercial class. Not so weighty as some of
the others, but nevertheless good, especially Ver-
mont, Elberon and Yellow Pockett and some seed-
lings. The same firm alone showed 20 blooms one
variety, long stems, showing that fine bronze, W
Waite.

Vegetables and Fruit

The vegetable classes, private, were fairly good,
but the exhibits of Apples shown by Samuel Black,
Highstown, N. J., were remarkably fine. We are
urged to eat Wenatchee, Blue Goose and other Ap-
ples, but it's up to anyone to beat the samples
produced by this grower in New Jersey. Immense
size, grand color and not a blemish. The rival ex-
hibits were good, but not comparable with these won-
derful fruits which, we understand, were all grown
on bush trees and gathered early in the Fall. Finer
collections than these 25 and ten dish collections we
have never seen. A special feature of the show were
the grand collections of Pumpkins and Squashes
shown by Mrs. H. Pratt, Mrs. P. Whitney and oth-
ers.

Non-Competitive Displays

Mrs. R. Mortimer, Tuxedo, N. Y., gdr. R. H. Schaef-
fer, staged a dozen vases of Anemone and thread
petalled 'Mums. Tuxedo was especially fine. Ohas.
H. Totty Co. put up an excellent group of Singles
and Pompons, which reflected no little credit on
Fred J. Piper, who looks after this phase of the
Totty business. Ida Skiff, Dainty, blush; Excelsior,
bronze ; Millicent Piper, white ; Adelaide, Rena, red ;

1350

The Florists Exchange

Gloriana and many others were shown in masses, a
few big Japs serving to add interest. Souv. Claudius
Pernet. America and other Roses were displayed also.
A. N. Pierson, Inc., showed five splendid vases of this
new Pompon, Pauline Wilcox, large bronze; New
York, mid bronze ; Louisa Davenport, deep bronze ;
November Gold, yellow, splendid sprays this makes,
and Western Beauty, pink. All were wonderfully
fresh and hard looking.

Altogether there was much more in this show than
first met the eye, and it would need more space than
we can afford to cover it fully. Peter Duff, Wm.
Turner, J. McNichols and Wm. Waite judged.

Horticultural Society of New York

Fall Exhibition, Nov. 9 to 12

TWO shows running at the same time is a tall
order, even for New York City. Not but what
there are enough people in town to overcrowd a
hundred such shows. It is more a question of ex-
hibits than lack of people, but it speaks wonders for
the strength of the gardening interests in the Bast
when exhibits are forthcoming in sufficient numbers
to make two good exhibitions, either one of which
would probably prompt a "hick" reporter to go up
in the air and declare that it was the finest the
world has ever seen. Personally, I am not built that
way; I have seen too many flower shows, including
the greatest ever held in history, to ever feel much
surprised at the extent or the variety of such ex-
hibitions. Still, I feel grateful that I was not called
upon to report the recent Glasgow International
which was housed in one building covering eight
acres, and I offer prayers of thankfulness that I was
not deputed to write up the last Royal Agricultural
and Horticultural Show in England which, I am told,
covered 40 acres. Believe me the New York Spring
Show is big enough, and if there were no competitive
classes to worry about, it would suit me infinitely
better.

The show under notice, to my way of thinking, was
finer than last year ; one missed the beautiful collec-
tion of Nerines in the main foyer of the American
Museum of Natural History, but it was fully re-
placed by the splendid collection of plants staged by
W. A. Manda, South Orange, N. J., which, by the
way, was awarded a gold medal.

The show opened at 7 p.m. on the 9th inst. ; this in
itself was an event, for the Japanese Ambassador,
Hon. K. Kumasaki made an address as did Henry W.
Taft, president of the Japan Society and D. G.
Kunz, representing various other societies. The nam-
ing of a fine new yellow, reflexed Chrysanthemum,
after Princess Nagako, bride elect of the Crown
Prince of Japan, formed part of the proceedings,
after which, an excellent dinner for the benefit of the
judges, officials and others was staged at the Man-
hattan Hotel.

The show itself was a credit to the society and
especially to Mrs. Geo. V. Nash, James Stuart and
other members of the Exhibition Committee. As a
matter of fact one gets the impression that this com-
mittee rather than the society itself is responsible
for these shows, inasmuch that one practically never
finds any of the society's official staff other than
the Exhibition Committee taking active part.

But let us not digress further save to remark that
it would appear to be undignified for the New York
Pall shows to advertise themselves by means of a
placard outside the buildings where they are held. A
stranger might pass the Engineers Building at 39th
st. and never observe the small notice inside the
lobby, while at the Museum not even this kind of
notice was apparent to the casual eye.

The Chrysanthemums

Inside the lobby, Chas. H. Totty Co.'s prize win-
ning vase of 20 blooms served to announce to the
ordinary museum visitor that something was on.
Suffice to say it was tough on this vase, as the blooms
quickly went to sleep owing to the draught. Inci-
dentally the Museum is not ideal for a flower show;
the long corridors serve to create a draught, but
maybe matters will be improved by next year, as a
large auditorium is to be built; in fact, the founda-
tions are already under way. This large hall will
presumably be available for show purposes.

The open to all classes embraced the specimen
plants and in the main foyer were some very good
examples. W. B. Thompson, Yonkers, gdr. A. Stra-
chan, scored with a big bush example of Mrs. Pearson,
yellow; but evidently the plant did not like its posi-
tion for the foliage was in distress on the morning
of the 10th. Second place went to S. Untermyer,
Yonkers, gdr. Chas. Mackay, and third to Miss De La
Mar, Glen Cove, gdr. G. McManus. All the plants
were 6ft. or so.

With a standard, Mrs. H. L. Pratt, Glen Cove, gdr.
Jas. McCarthy, scored with a good white. Miss De
La Mar took second with Mrs. Pearson and W. B.
Thompson third. Miss De La Mar scored with an
odd shaped plant, this being the shape of a ship's
bow.

In the plant group class 100 sq. ft. Mrs. Payne
Whitney, Manhasset, gdr. G. Ferguson, was given
first. Various Cap. varieties, Pompons, large Japs
and Singles were worked in with Palms, Crotons, and
Ferns, but the staging was too flat to be impressive.

The non-commercial classes calling for six blooms,
long stems, were strongly contested. Nine entries in
the whites is tough going, and Mrs. Constable, Mama-
roneck, gdr. James Stuart, only just got beaten by
S. Untermyer. On the second day, the winning lot
had gone to rest while the Mamaroneck blooms were
in top form. Mrs. Herbert Pratt had to take second
place to Mrs. Constable with six pink, the winner
showing Vermont. Four entries.

With yellow, S. Untermyer scored with wonderfully
fine Yellow Turner; Mrs. Harold Pratt, Glen Cove,
gdr. F. 0. Johnson, showed Odessa in great form.
Six entries. Miss De La Mar alone showed six red,
presumably Wm. Mease. Why, oh why, is legible
labeling not enforced? Either there are no labels at
all or dangling tags are tucked away among the fo-
liage. Cannot show promoters institute a standard
name card and enforce its use? Oftentimes bits of
paper are laid by a vase, only to be blown away or
misplaced. Even the inexperienced are interested in
the names of flowers; exhibited without names they
are just flowers and educate no more than a vase of
blooms in a florist's window. With any other color,
Mrs. Herbert Pratt led with extra fine blooms of
Mrs. H. Firestone, Miss De La Mar taking second.

Mrs. Redmond Cross, Morristown, N. J., gdr.
A. Sailer, put it over with a decorated vase; a set up
of bronze Japs and Singles over 6ft. high, which
swamped the exhibits of Mrs. P. Chubb, Glen Cove,
gdr. Peter Smith, and Miss De La Mar.

The shorter stem classes, too, were well contested ;
Mrs. E. Lewis, Ridgefield, Conn., gdr. J. W. Smith
with ten varieties, three of each, was a sure leader;
wonderful flowers of Nagirroe Pink Turner, Mrs.
Firestone, Louisa Pockett and Yellow Turner were
noted. The last named was fully ten inches. Mrs. P.
Chubb was a good second. Five competed with a
dozen distinct varieties, W. B. Thompson scoring over
Mrs. E. Lewis with good flowers of Yellow Turner,
Louisa Pockett, Mary Mason and others. A really
tough class this. The class for six blooms was also
strong.

Mrs. Payne Whitney scored with six vases of
Anemone flowered ; Graf von Oriole, rose, and Mrs. G.
Hawkins, yellow, were good. Titian Beauty was the
best among the collection staged by Miss De La Mar.
Mrs. R. Cross staged a good vase of mixed Singles
including some seedlings, while Mrs. C. Mallory, Port
Chester, gdr. Wm. Sealey, led with a vase of Pompons.

Five entries in the Singles class, 12 vases, made
some show, and Mrs. Herbert Pratt had some won-
derfully fine samples of Mildred Presby, Ida Skiff,
Excelsior, Fernridge, Cinderella and Bronze Molly.
Mrs. Harold Pratt was a good second. Mrs. P. Whit-
ney won with 12 vases of Pompons. Evidently the
judges had no delusions as to what is a true Pom-
pon 'Mum, as so many apparently have. The win-
ning collection embraced only the true small button
types, including Little Top, pink; Mary Pickford,
white ; Vivian Martin, pink ; Frank Wilcox, Jr.,
bronze; Clara, white; and Margaret Clark, pink.
Mrs. C. Mallory staged the Doty's and others of the
larger class in fine shape.

Mrs. P. Whitney also scored in the 100 sq. ft. cut
bloom class. Large Japs, Singles and Pompons were
well shown in conjunction with Oak and other foli-
age. Mrs. E. Lewis was placed second ; this group
contained more large blooms but lacked sufficient
filling.

Only Chas. H. Totty Co. showed in the commercial
classes, scoring not only with the vase already re-
ferred to but with 12 Pompons and 12 Singles. Evi-
dently the naming of these vases were overlooked.
The Singles were excellent. Twenty large blooms were
also shown, but without names.

Roses and Carnations

Strong competition and wonderfully good flowers
were to be seen in the Rose classes, non-commercial.
Howard Cole, Madison, N. J., scored with IS Cru-
sader, 18 Premier and 18 Columbia. Mrs. E. Lewis
led with 18 Sunburst and also with IS Mme. Butter-
fly. Several exhibitors in these classes were dis-
qualified for insufficient or too many blooms.

In the commercial classes, F. R. Pierson, Tarry-
town, more or less had a walkover; he scored with
50 F. Scott Key, 50 White Killarney, 50 Premier and
50 Mme. Butterfly. He had to take second to L. B.
Coddington, Murray Hill, N. J., with 50 Columbia.

Chas. H. Totty Co. gained the silver medal for a
new variety, showing America in great form. Com-

monwealth, A. N. Pierson, Inc., looked quite small
beside the tremendous stems and flowers of America.

The only class for Carnations open to commercial
growers called for a novelty; Patten & Co., Tewks-
bury, Mass.. won the silver medal with Natalie.

Mrs. M. Tilford, Mrs. Mallory, Mrs. P. Whitney,
and Mrs. E. Lewis all staged some good flowers.
Mrs. Lewis showed superb Maine Sunshine in the
yellow class.

Foliage and Decorative Plants

Miss De La Mar was placed first in the 100 sq. ft.
group class. Crotons, Begonias, Celosias, Acalypha
Sanderi, Dracaenas, Anthuriums, Clerodendrons, etc.,
were utilized but the effect was poor and spotty.
W. B. Thompson had finer quality stock, but the
arrangement was too flat. Nevertheless the quality
was superior, the large Crotons giving the back-
ground a richer effect. Our view is that it deserved
first place.

W. A. Manda's commercial collection of plants em-
braced all kinds of ferns including tree types and a
multitude of other subjects. Begonias, Crotons,
Marantas Strelitzia, etc., were notable. It was the
only entry in this class.

S. Untermyer staged a fine collection of cut ber-
ried shrubs. Cotoneaster Simmonsi, Ligustrum Re-
gelianum, Amelanchier botryapium, Euonymus alata
and latifolia, Callicarpa purpurea Corylopsis with
green berries, and crabs were a few of the things
shown. Mrs. F. E. Allen, Pelham Manor, N. Y., gdr.
James Linave was second. The queer pods of Tecoma
radicans, Ilex serriata and Osage Orange were special
features. There were four entries in this class and
all were worth studying.

Some grand specimen ferns were shown in the
various open classes; S. Untermeyr's Cibotium was
about 10ft. through. F. R. Pierson showed a won-
derful collection of Nephrolepis, including elegantis-
sima, exaltata, aurea, Gen. Pershing, Macawii, Gia-
trasi, Smithii, Superba, etc. W. A. Manda was second.

Orchids

The orchid classes brought out some splendid col-
lections. With a specimen Cypripedium Theo. B.
Hoyt, Stamford, Conn., gdr. P. H. Donovan, won the
sweepstake prize. The plant was 4ft. through and
carried at least three dozen open flowers. Joseph
Manda Co., South Orange, N. J., alone showed cut
blooms, staging a nice little collection of Oncidiums,
Cattleyas, Cymbidiums, Cypripediums, etc.

Lager & Hurrell, Summit, N. J., scored with three
Cattleyas, showing L. C. Luminosa, B. C. Wattiana,
and C. Durseldorphia, Kondine. The same firm led
with six plants, among which Cypripedium Harefield
Hall, was notable. They also scored with a collection
50 sq. ft. Superbly flowered plants and elegantly
shown, the group contained Vandas, Cattleyas,
Phakenopsis, Cypripediums, etc., etc., in great va-
riety. Julius Roehr's Co., Rutherford, N. J., were
placed second, with a good lot, but they did not fill
up the group so well.

Geo. Baldwin & Co., Mamaroneck, N. Y., won the
C. Moore Gold Medal, offered for the best seedling.
It was a pink and crimson Cattleya, out of C. Raphael
X C. Fabia. There were four entries. J. B. Duke
showed a large pink Cattleya carrying four massive
flowers on the stem.

The vegetable classes were decidedly good, but the
fruit was not specially impressive. Mrs. H. L. Pratt
put up a superb group of vegetables, at least 30
kinds and well staged. It was the best lot of vege-
tables we have seen for a long, long time. This ex-
hibitor was very strong in the vegetable classes scoop-
ing up most of the first prizes, including both collec-
tions.

Miscellaneous Items

Blondell Malone exhibited a number of clever oil
paintings, mostly of the famous Bagatelle and Le Hay
Rose Gardens of Paris. A standard Catherine Breslau
was wonderfully good.

A special prize was awarded to E. E. Smathers, Port
Chester, gdr. W. D. Robertson, for a collection of Cy-
pripediums. Small Farleyense Ferns were a fine fea-
ture.

The Garden Club table displays were no great at-
traction. The Rye Club won the S. M.

Herman Mamitsch, Tenafly, N. J., alone showed Sweet
Peas, and gained a special.

John Lewis Childs, Floral Park, showed a seedling
'Mum named Yellow Doty. It was good, but not a true
Doty. A special was awarded.

A silver medal was granted to C. H. McKay, Roslyn.
gdr. F. Demak, for a seedling incurved Jap., old rose
color with silvery reverse. Very good. A special also
for a collection of Anemone flowered seedlings.

A special was awarded to John Downey, Port Chester,
N. T., gdr. T. Ryan, for a vase of Singles, mostly Mensa
type, the best we have seen this season.

A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn., was awarded
a special for five vases of Pompons, all In splendid
form.

A Japanese arrangement by Tamaraka was interest-
ing for its simplicity. No award had been made. The
occidental would doubt whether it was worth while;
certainly if everyone used flowers so sparingly, florists
could shut up shop.

Miss De La Mar gained a special for two baskets of
the old-timer, Cissus discolor. Wonderful foliage, but
oh what a subject for mealy bug!

November 18, 1922.

The Florists Exchange

1351

"W. A. Manda won a special for a collection of Ivies,
including lucida, Cavendishii, crested and Amuriensis.

Miss E. McKinney, Greenwich, Conn., gdr. G. C.
Boon, exhibited a 6ft. airplane, bearing the message:
"U. S. A. to Japan." It was loaded with vegetables
and Chrysanthemums.

Chas. Totty Co. featured in the foyer a big vase of
the new Princess Nagako 'Mum, together with several
thread petaled varieties, the whole backed by American
and Japanese flags.

The dinner table class (open) was not staged until
Sunday.

University of Maryland

Autumn Flower Show

Washington and Baltimore Florists Faculty Guests

An Autumn flower show was staged at the Univer-
sity of Maryland on Nov. 5, 6 and 7 by the Depart-
ment of Floriculture with the assistance of the stu-
dents. All the rooms of the Horticultural Building
were used to stage the show and even then it was
necessary to crowd the exhibits. One of the rooms
was given over to exhibits of the florists of Maryland
and the District of Columbia, a number of very fine
exhibits being staged. Many of the exhibits were by
retail florists who, with their decorative skill, made
a display which brought forth much admiration from
the visitors.
Florist Exhibits

Among the various florists exhibiting were Gude
Brothers Co., Washington, D. C, who showed a vase
of American Beauty, vases of Wm. and Pink Turner
Chrysanthemums, a basket of Chrysanthemums and
Oak leaves and a hamper basket of Cecile Brunner
Roses and Orchids. H. M. Sauber of Washington
exhibited a trellis box of Hoosier Beauty Roses,
white Single Chrysanthemums and Violets; also a
flower basket of large and small Chrysanthemums,
Roses and miscellaneous flowers. George C. Shaffer
of Washington displayed a flower basket of large
yellow Chrysanthemums with white and yellow Pom-
pons; also a corsage of Cypripediums and yellow
Roses. Isaac H. Moss of Baltimore exhibited a bas-
ket of Columbia Roses, and a plant basket. Mary
Johnston of Baltimore showed a basket of large and
small Chrysanthemums in pink and white. Robert
Graham, Jr., of Baltimore had a Pumpkin with an
arrangement of miscellaneous flowers. Other exhibi-
tors included Jesse P. King of Mt. Airy, Md., with
vases of Chrysanthemums and Roses ; Stevenson Bros.
of Baltimore, with vases of Roses ; C. H. Jenkins of
Suitland, Md., with vases of Chrysanthemums; H. W.
Weber & Sons from Oakland, Md., with a collection
of named varieties of small Chrysanthemums, a vase
of Columbia Roses, and vases of Zinnias.

The main room of the Horticultural Building was
transformed into a Japanese garden with a running
brook and pool supplied with water trickling from
a water-worn rock formation. Crossing the brook at
one point over a Japanese curved bridge and at an-
other by stepping stones the visitors entered the main
part of the garden with its thatched house. Goldfish
in the pool, Pine needles covering the floor of the
garden, evergreens, and Japanese shrubs, beds of
Chrysanthemums, etc., completed the garden which
was righted by Japanese lanterns.
Other Features

In three other rooms exhibits arranged by the
students in floriculture were displayed. Dinner table
lecorations of pink Roses, Delphinium and pink
Mdles, and of Ophelia Roses and Maidenhair Feru
,.vith green candles, attracted much attention from
:he ladies as did the Christmas table with its center-
piece of Christmas greens and deciduous Holly with
•ed candles. The miscellaneous basket and vase ar-
rangements and corsages in which the students em-
Jloyed Roses, Carnations, Chrysanthemums of various
ypes, Snapdragons, Delphinium, Sweet Peas and
>ther seasonable flowers to secure various effects and
«lor combinations, were carefully studied by the
'isitors.

At the university now there are about 125 different
aneties of Pompons grown, and of these, a collec-
tion of 27 was exhibited. The most popular were
lellow Jacket, Maple Leaf, Dean, Primrose, Coed,
>.amty, the two latter being of the button type; Lil-
ian Doty, Aviator, a rose pink, and F. G. William-
;on, a full Single almost a mahogany red. A selec-
ion of 40 Japanese Chrysanthemums attracted a
:reat deal of favorable comment and those who
16r7ld them declared they were exceptionally fine,
veu-fimshed flowers. Among them were Mrs. J. Wells,
Jdessa, Mrs. C. C. Pollworth, Dolly Dimple, Loyalty,
»wcien Chadwick, and Smith's Sensation, lavender
mk. General Pershing, rather a deep purple with

hexed petals, and Vermont, a shell pink, were fine.
, J1"5 feature of the commercial exhibit was a dis-
wl v red °Phelia Roses ; this is a seedling between
<r to „and Hoosier Beauty and was produced bv

■ W. Gray of Oakton, Va. It has a beautiful bud

and excellent foliage. It combines the yellow of
Ophelia with the deep crimson of Hoosier Beauty
and there is no tinge of blue.

After making a round of the show, the 65 members
of the Washington and Baltimore Florists Club were
led by their hosts to the university mess hall where
a rather elaborate supper was awaiting them. Prof.
A. S. Thurston was toastmaster and after the wait-
ers had cleared the tables he started the oratory
flowing. He told the visitors that the university
latch string was always out for them and, later In
the evening, he told of some of the things that the
university wanted information upon. Prof. Thurston
declared that they could not train students as thor-
oughly as they would like unless they have the value
of the experience and the knowledge of the men in
commercial work and suggested that he be permitted
to call on them to address the students on various
phases of floriculture, as well as to take the students
to the greenhouses and stores and show them, actual
operations in plant production and flower sales.

Dean Zimmerman, of the School of Agriculture,
welcomed the visitors to the university. He gave a
very interesting talk of his experiences in seeking to
learn from the practical florists what they consider
essential for the student in horticulture to take up.
Toastmaster Thurston elaborated on the expressions
of Dean Zimmerman. He pointed out that in the
establishment of the florist industry in the United
States, the florist industry of Europe was called on
to supply those familiar with floriculture. It is no
longer possible to get either the experts or the ap-
prentices that formerly came from Europe; America
must train its own people. "There is a growing in-
dustry in this country," he said. "The Middle West
has hardly been touched as yet from the florist stand-
point. The farmers there are wealthy, or at least in
very good circumstances when the crops are good,
and we find in small towns out there men are start-
ing in the business and making a good living, and
going on. So I feel that there is a fertile field here
and in order to cultivate that field to the utmost we
hope we will be able to turn out students that will
make a name for themselves in the future."

William F. Gude complimented the university on
the strides it has made- and urged it to go on with
its good work. He declared that the surface has
only been scratched and the florist industry today is
but a small part of what it will be a quarter of a
century from now. "If florists will look back over
the last ten years and see what has been done, and
particularly during the last five years, since we have
been using 'Say it with Flowers' all over the world,
they can well see that the possibilities of the florist
business is beyond comprehension. I venture to say
that the business has doubled during the last year in
respect to the amount of money spent by the people
in the purchase of flowers, and we ought to do many-
times that in the next 20 to 30 years.

"You ask me if I would advise the young man of
today to engage in the florist business. I answer
unhesitatingly yes, but do not go into it unless you
want to work; if you want to be a loafer, let the
flower business alone. It is not necessary any more
to work the long hours of other years. We put in
eight or nine hours a day now and we are through
and can avail ourselves of some of the opportunities
for enjoyment that were heretofore denied us by
reason of the long hours the business demanded.
And there are other improvements in the business
and men engaged therein are looked up to in their
respective communities." Speaking of the love of
flowers, Mr. Gude pointed out that fresh Roses —
Pink or Red Radiance — are at all times to be found
on the desks of President Harding and his secretary,
George Christian, at the White House.

Prof. Lumsden spoke of the technical and scientific
knowledge that students of floriculture should seek.
Among other things, he said, they should learn the
chemistry of soils; they should be familiar with
botany or have taken courses in entomology and all
other like things that enter into floriculture; they
must be able to clean up greenhouses infested with
pests and diseases and they should know how to
prevent inroads of these. A thorough knowledge of
the English language is also essential, he added, as
he told of how a man he knew could never advance
beyond the position of gardener because of his in-
ability to express himself in words.

In touching on opportunities for young florists in
the West, he spoke of a trip through that section
which he has just completed. In one town he was
informed that the city fathers had $30,000 to invest
in a florist business if they could find a man capable
of handling such an undertaking. Specialization is
a great thing for the florists, he explained, but the
apprentice should get all of the fundamentals first
and while he is walking up the ladder toward pro-
ficiency in floriculture, he can devote a part of his
time to specialization in the lines he likes best. Prof.
Lumsden urged the professional florists to give all

possible assistance to the amateur gardeners that
they may become boosters for the industry.

O. A. C. Oehmler, president of the Washington Flo-
rists Club, and President Johnson of the Florists and
Gardeners Club of Baltimore expressed the appre-
ciation of the members of their organizations for the
courtesies shown them by the University of Mary-
land officials.

At the conclusion of the meeting Prof. Thurston
asked the florists to give thought to the possibilities
of a national show in the National Capital.

Cleveland Horticultural Society

Annual Fall Flower Show Successful in Every
Respect

THE Annual Fall Flower Show of the Cleveland
Horticultural Society was held Thursday and
Friday, Nov. 9 and 10 at Woodward Masonic
Temple and from every angle was a huge success. The
entries were numerous and of an unusually high
standard, the attendance ran heavy and the judges
did a good job.

This excellent show marks, a step forward in
things horticultural in Cleveland, and the Show Com-
mittee, consisting of Pres. R. P. Brydon, Sec'y W. J.
Bruce, Chairman Wm. Richards and J. Stevens, Wm.
Hawkins, F. McNicoll, Wm. Murley, S. Thomas, and
C. Rider deserve much commendation for their
efforts.

The exhibitors, whether prize winners or not, should
feel proud of their entries as everything was of such
high quality. These gardeners do not seek the lime-
light, but their praises should be shouted from the
housetops. Devoting their lives to the culture of
beautiful flowers, virtually putting their souls into
the soil and not counting the toil, they are satisfied
with the knowledge that their task is well done, and
that their efforts help make the world a better place
to live in — for there is no question but that flowers
add to the joy of living.

Interesting Vegetable Exhibits

Vegetables, as well as flowers and plants, were
entered and in these classes the competition was
very keen. After grading more than 15 varieties of
vegetables in the different collections the judges
awarded first prize to W. E. Fisher, superintendent
for E. S. Burke of Chagrin Falls. His score was one
point higher than that of Robt. Broadfield, superin-
tendent for W. T. White. Of special interest in the
vegetable classes were Jerusalem Artichokes, English
Marrow and Kohl-Rabi.

Other prize winners in the vegetable classes were:
Geo. Hancox, J. Barnett of Sewickley, Pa., and W. J.
Bruce. The prizes were gold, silver, and bronze
medals. Some excellent fruit also was shown, R. P.
Brydon of the Prentice estate and Arthur Brown of
the Severance estate, each winning first prizes with
their Apples and Pears.

The special class winners were: Geo. Jacques, su-
perintendent for W. G. Mather, first for a vase of
Chrysanthemums arranged for effect, with W. J.
Bruce, second.

Peter Carosello won first (a gold medal) with an
entry for assistant gardeners.

The public school entries were won by West Tech-
nical High School.

Cut Fower Classes

In the cut Chrysanthemum classes the entries were
of a high order. There were 14 classes and first
prizes went to R. P. Brydon, A. Brown, W. E. Fisher,
Geo. Jacques and F. Eckhard.

R. P. Brydon won the silver cup with an entry of
24 handsome blooms. In this class Robt. Broadfield
took the second prize, a silver medal.

In the cut Pompon and Anemone flowered classes
the winners were: Geo. Williams, superintendent for
Elbert H. Baker, Gates Mills, J. Barnett of Sewick-
ley, Pa., Robt. Broadfield, A. Brown, W. E. Fisher,
and R. P. Brydon. The Anemones of Mr. Brydon
were very fine, covering a wide range of color.

All of the Carnation firsts went to Geo. Jacques, one
of whose entries was a purple variety.

Potted 'Mum prizes went to W. Pischke, Luther
Webb, U. J. Bruce, Robt. Broadfield, Geo. Jacques,
R. P. Brydon, F. Heyl, and J. Kullman.

Other potted plant winners were: W. E. Fisher
for Cyclamen; Geo. Jacques and R. P. Brydon for
Begonias, of the Lorraine and Winter-flowering tuber-
ous rooted types. George Jacques won first prize for
a group of foliage and flowering plants that was a
gem. It was arranged by his daughter and con-
tained Pandanus, Crotons, Dracaenas, Cypripediums,
Ferns, Begonias, etc., covering about 50 sq. ft.

Robt. Broadfleld's group took second prize in this
class.

The table decoration contest for ladies was won
by Mrs. Laine with an arrangement of short Rosea.

The Florists Exchange

Miss Jacques won second prize ™th Cypripediuins
white Begonia flowers, and Simlax, the color effect
being excellent.
Non-Competitive Trade Displays

There were several entries not open to competition
including a fine collection of large 'Mums from Daisy
Hill Faras where that excellent grown Paul Baclo-
fen holds forth. Arranged into huge vases they in-
cluded such excellent varieties as Nagirroc, Mrs.
Tottv Richmond, Roman Gold, Logan, Chieftain,
White Turner, and White Surprise.

Wm H. Temblett had an exhibit of everp-eens
numbering about 12 varieties from Tembletthurst
Gardens. The retail store also sent a table of coi-
sa^es and some baskets and hampers.

Carl Hagenburger of West Mentor sent a collection
of Palms, Ferns, 'Mum plants. Cyclamen and Cherries^
C Merkle Sons sent cut Chrysanthemums. The
Friedley Co. exhibited a collection of Pompons that
were very good. The Gasser Co. and the Knoble Bros
Co showed baskets of 'Mums. A. C. Fox had a bowl
of Pompons and Sweet Peas, and the. Independence
Nurseries showed a collection of aquaria with plants
and fish that attracted lots of attention

A feature that also attracted considerable atten-
tion was a collection of berried trees, shrubs and
plants from the Prentice-Severance estates This con-
sisted of 41 varieties including Crataegus, Viburnum,
Ligustrum, Lonicera, Convalaria, Mountain Ash, Syni-
phoricarpus, Pyrus nigra, Rosa Rugosa, Berberis e c.
The iuVes of the show were: R. Weeks of Mans-
field 0. J Carman of Sewickley, Pa., and J. Curnow
of Akron, 0.

A Talk About Hardy Chrysanthemums

Delivered by Richard Vincent Jr. before the

National Horticultural Society, Tuesday, Nov. 14,

1922, in Washington, D. C.

IT IS mv intention in this article to discuss the
history of the hardy Chrysanthemum only so far
as mv own connection deals with it. We all
know that the Chrysanthemums, taken altogether^
constitute a wonderful class of plants, running into
numerous types and varieties. And a large number
of books have been published about them that will
impart any required information. The hardy Chrysan-
themum! to my knowledge, was an o dtmie favorite
the first mention that I can find of it being about the
ear 360 For myself I always liked it, from boyhood
nr> Well do I remember the clumps in my father s
warden Then came the craze for the large flowered
sorts and the oldtime Pompons were forgotten

Somewhere about 20 years ago I had an idea that
the hardy Chrysanthemum was the one flower needed
to finish out the blooming season in our gardens I
also got the impression that there was a market foi
the flowers if well grown and that there was value
in them for the retail florist. .

We had been growing them ourselves in a limitea
quantity and variety for a number of years. Most of
them we grew out in the fields, planting them early,
and lifting in the Fall and making several plant-
ings and liftings. This brought them along at differ-
ent periods from early to late. They were bedded m
a cool greenhouse, and we found there was more
money in them than what we got out of the larger
flowered varieties.

Our main crop was a white variety called The
Prince of Wales, most of which were sold to florists
for the base work on designs as then made. We had
only a limited number of the few other varieties we
■n-ew but we soon found that there was a demand
for them and frequent inquiries as to the number
of varieties and colors we could furnish. We then
began to look around for other varieties which, we
knew were grown previous to the large flowered
craze We had expected to be able to pick up some
of the varieties of my boyhood days but no, they could
not be found with the exception of about six varie-
ties which today are among the standard real hardy
sort's To get others we hybridized a considerable
number and saved the resulting seed. One season we
had about 3000 seedlings from which we selected a
o-oodly number, some of which today are really the
standard hardv varieties, though sold under different
names from what we gave them. There was then no
register of varieties and purchasers changed the given
name to suit their ideas.

When we started to show and advertise Pompons we
were set down as a set of cranks and were plainly
told that it was a foolish venture, that Pompon
Chrysanthemums were a thing of the past, and that
there would never be any further demand or use for
them. . .

Not believing this we propagated with even better
results than we had anticipated, for it was not long
before there began to be a general demand all over
the country, especially from those garden people
who saw the full beauty that their gardens needed m
the Fall.

At a meeting about 1904 of the National Chrysan-
themum Society in connection with the American
Institute, we set up an exhibit as we had done sev-
eral previous years, which, with Charley Totty's ex-
hibit of Singles, created a sensation.

As the National Society was not offering premiums
for either Pompons or Singles, I asked the privilege
of the floor at one of their meetings, and having it
"ranted, I said : "Gentlemen : I used to score you for
your inattention to apparently the most attractive
'exhibition of your show. If you will leave this hall
and cross the street where the exhibition is set up,
and will work around you will find that the main
portion of the visitors is centered around those tables
of Pompons and the tables of Singles shown by Charles
Totty. But if you examine your schedules you will
find that there is no mention of either in your list.
Gentlemen, something has got to be done. These are
now in demand by the public, and you cannot ignore
them."

A resolution was passed there and then, that in
the future they should be recognized and premiums
offered.

\mong the awards won by our Pompons have been
diplomas from the American Institute in 1904, 190o
and 1900; premiums from the New Jersey Horticul-
tural Societv in 1906. 1907 and 1908 ; others from the
Maryland Horticultural Society Show in 1907 and
190S • one from the Washington Florists Club in 1909 ;
a silver medal at Boston in 1907, and a bronze medal
there in 190S. .

In the last few years a number of new varieties
brought forward to meet trade requirements show
finer grade blooms than some of the, hardy garden
varieties produce. These are only suitable in some
localities for bench growing, having too much of the
Japanese blood or rather of the characters of the
larger varieties to produce hardy garden flowers that
will stand a sharp frost. When shown as Pompons

at the shows they are apt to mislead the garden love
or amateur planter and they cannot compete wit!
the fine disbudded flowers. It is all right for th
florist and grower to have these varieties, but I thinl
that they ought to be cataloged as for a distinct pur
pose; otherwise they will give the hardy ones ;
black eye.

The propagation of the Chrysanthemum is easy a
cuttings of the young, soft wood root easily; or ij
may be done by division of the clumps or roots. Whei
the plants are greenhouse grown these can be gotteii
during the Winter and good stout plants for earl;;.
Spring planting can be grown from them.

For outdoor results I would advise that beside
planting them out in the hardy border a row or sev
eral rows be planted in the garden that can be liftei
and planted where Summer flowers have been. Onj
specimen carefully planted will add beauty to th
Fall landscape and a number of them potted ant
carried at times into the house, will give somethin;
to look at when the early blasts of Winter arrive.

Michigan State Florists Association

Flower Show and Meeting, Ann Arbor, Nov. 10 and 1

The flower show held at Ann Arbor, together wit!
the meeting of the Michigan State Florists Associa
tion. was a most successful affair. It was unani
mously acknowledged as the best ever staged by th
organization. Large exhibits of 'Mums predominated
although many wonderful Roses, other cut flower
and plants helped to produce a striking effect. Du
credit must be given one local florist, the Blue Maiz
Blossom S'hop with its two members, Alex Lauri
and W. S. Wells, for the success of the show. Lacl
of cooperation at its worst was manifest at the affai
for no other Ann Arbor florist cared sufficiently t
help in the work or stage an exhibit. Thus it fel;
upon the shoulders of the two above-mentioned t
stage the show in the short period of three weeks
Its success speaks for the efficiency of their efforts.

The following exhibits were shown : Henry Smit]
Floral Co., Grand Rapids, certificate of merit for bes
flowering group; Poehlmann Bros., Chicago, certif
cate of merit for best display of Roses; Eli Cross
Grand Rapids, certificate of merit for best display o
cut 'Mums; Botanic Garden, Ann Arbor, certifieat
of merit for best group of 'Mum plants ; Elmer Smitl
Adrian, certificate of merit for new yellow 'Mun
My Michigan, which was christened at the show wit
appropriate ceremony : Chas. Plumb, Detroit, certif
cate of merit for best foliage group.

Flower Shop and Blue Maize Blossom Shop also mad
displays.

The meeting of the association was productive o
considerable and profitable discussion after the rot
tine business was conducted. The spirit of progre=
was in evidence in the naming of a committee fo
the purpose of furthering the needs of the Horticu
tural Department of the Michigan Agricultural Co
lege. Under the leadership of Mr. Kidder of Ioni
and with such members as P. Breitmeyer, Arthu
Dew of Albion, and Alex. Laurie of Ann Arbor, som
quick results are to be hoped for.

At the conclusion of the business of the State OH
ganization, a banquet was held in the course c
which Fred. J. Ammann outlined the scheme for th
new district units of the F. T. D. A. On Saturda;
Nov. 11, the Michigan florists had the honor of orgai
izing the first district F. T. D. unit in the Unite
States. The officers were elected as follows: A. De1
of Albion, chairman; A. H. Vogt, Flint; vice-chan
man ; Alex. Laurie, Ann Arbor, secretary ; W. S. Coi
gan, district representative.

All the officers of the Michigan State Florists Assi
ciation were re-elected as follows : W. S. Coggai
president; Henry Smith, vice-president; Robei
Plumb, secretary; W. S. Wells, treasurer.

The next annual meeting is to be held in Gran
Rapids.

The Florists Exchange

1353

New York Florists Club

New Club Room Stimulates Action

THE new meeting place at the Pennsylvania Hotel
brought about the return of that "atmosphere"
which old timers had declared was totally lack-
ing in the Engineers Society Building at W. 39th St.
Maybe the bare walls and floor at the latter place
precluded that "homey"' atmosphere, but the real ex-
planation was the size of the room.

Man is a queer sort of animal when it comes to
taking a seat in a hall. If it be a place which de-
mands an entrance fee, such as a theatre, he likes
a front seat, but if it be a mere open meeting place
or a church, depend upon it half the people attend-
ing will try to get the rear seats or so spread them-
selves out that, from the platform, the hall looks like
that old army "plum duff" of never to be forgotten
memory — just "spotty." Unless real close friends,
men, and women too, don't like rubbing shoulders
as it were ; even in the trains, we all silently pray
that no one will fill the seat beside us, that is, unless
one is a commuter, then he is "durn" glad to get a
seat, and perhaps pleased to have select company.

That's just what made the meeting on Monday even-
ing, Nov. 13, different from those that have gone be-
fore. The Good of the Club Committee, especially
A. T. De La Mare, chairman, and President Roman J.
Irwin worked hard to find a new home for the club,
which so many thought desirable, and a fair sized
room at the Pennsylvania Hotel designated as Par-
lor III, was assigned the club. The sundry couches,
the homelike chairs and the pile carpet gave at once
the "homey" feeling, but true to instinct, the early
comers seized the back seats first. As time pro-
gressed, the room filled until it was a case of standing,
more or less. The committee had figured on about
75 to 80, but perverse as ever, members, presumably
desirous of seeing the new "coop," came up fully 125
strong.

Twenty-two of the members availed themselves of
the opportunity to have dinner together in the Foun-
tain Room prior to the meeting ; a good showing for
a start, but if in the future others desire to avail them-
selves of the service and a tasty meal, depend upon
it the Penn. management is ready to reserve any
number of seats if notified in time.

The meeting opened unusually late ; President Ro-
man J. Irwin couldn't help it. The boys seemed so
happy in the experience of being forced to sit close
together, that he just had to let them blow off steam,
i Absentees missed a social time that has long been
absent at these meetings. It was a return to the
good old days of old. Not only was there comfort
and homeliness, but the meeting itself was alive and
full of pep.

Actually, the business occupied only about 1%
hours, but there were no dull moments, and when the
adjournment was ordered, along came waiters in
dress suits with trays of dandy ham, chicken and
tongue sandwiches, and glasses of cider. No piling into
the refectory and helping oneself. I tell you, boys,
it was as orderly as an afternoon tea at a ladies' sew-
ing meeting — but considerably more enjoyable.

After the disposal of the "eats," President Irwin
. tried to get the members to decide whether future
meetings should be held in the same building, but
nothing doing. The meeting had previously given a
rising vote of thanks to the gentlemen already men-
tioned, so no one was going to answer any such irre-
levant question. If those who were not present in-
tend visiting the next club meeting, they'll have to
be along early, for while a bigger room will doubtless
be selected, the committee does not guarantee seats to
late comers.

The Business

The minutes were approved without comment, after
which committee reports were asked for.

A. T. De La Mare, chairman of the Good of the
Club Committee, said there was little he could report.
It remained for the members to decide whether they
liked the change. The cost would be about the same
as the old meeting place, and he believed they could
have a larger room if needed.

New Members

C. H. Andrews of the American Greenhouse Mfg.
Co., whose nomination was pending, was duly elected
and the following five names submitted : Clarence
Golsner and Fred Golsner, Rockville Center, N. Y. ;
Herbert Golsner, College Point, N. Y. ; John G. Stern,
3360 Ft. Hamilton parkway, Brooklyn, and James
Brazier, Springfield, N. J. These nominations were
voted to take the usual course.

Deceased Members

Secretary John Young drew attention to the death
of Paul Dailledouze, whereupon the president ap-
pointed F. R. Pierson, Frank H. Traendly and Chas.
H. Totty to serve as a committee to draw up resolu-
tions. Aug. M. Dauernheim reported the death of
John Condon, the old time florist of Brooklyn; a com-
mittee consisting of Mr. Dauernheim, C. J. Spellman
and F. H. Wilshire was appointed to deal with reso-
lutions.

Nominations for Officers

A. L. Miller, chairman of the Nominating Commit-
tee, submitted the following names to be voted upon
at the next meeting : President, Roman J. Irwin,
Arthur Herrhigton, Philip Cox ; vice-president, Paul
Rigo, M. M. Matheron, P. Duff; secretary, John
Young, J. H. Pepper; treasurer-, Wm. C. Richards,
Jr., A. Nash ; trustees, P. Rigby, P. Gerlaird, A. Scott,
Wm. Badgely, John Canning.

John Weathered ventured to air his views on the
absurdity of nominating others to replace the present
secretary and treasurer. Others joined issue with
him on the Nominating Committee, but it was after-
ward pointed out by Mr. Totty that all the efferves-
cence was unnecessary. Any nominee could with-
draw at the next meeting before the ballot takes
place, so on a motion by Messrs. Herriugton and A.
Ruzicka, the report of Chairman Miller was accepted.

President Irwin at this juncture drew attention to
the fact that B. Meyers and his son of Buffalo were
with them and at his request both visitors expressed
their pleasure on being present.

A. Kottmiller Gives Demonstration

While the Awards Committee was judging the ex-
hibits, Alfred Kottmiller demonstrated for the bene-
fit of the small out of town florist, how a table cen-
terpiece could be made up in about ten minutes with
a couple of moss balls, a stick, some ribbon, several
bunches of yellow and bronze single and Pompon-
Chrysanthemums, and some Oak and Mexican Ivy
foliage. The effect was decidedly good and Mr.
Kottmiller was heartily applauded. He ventured to
explain that while the cost of the materials was mod-
est, it should not be considered from that angle alone.
A portrait painter might use $5 worth of canvas and
paint, yet charge $5000 for the finished work. The
art of the florist should be considered in the same
light. On a motion by Max Schling, a hearty vote of
thanks was accorded Mr. Kottmiller.

New Business

Under this head, A. L. Miller referred to the ill-
ness of Eugene Dailledouze and Frank H. Traendly
and on a motion, it was decided that a gift of fruit
or flowers be sent as a token of appreciation from
the club to each sick member.

Philip Kessler's motion that a letter of congratula-
tion be sent to Wallace R. Pierson on his election to
the Senate of Connecticut, was agreed to vociferously.

The St. Louis Show

Called upon by the president, Chas. H. Totty re-
ferred to the chief features and failings of the St.
Louis show. The main factor was the wonderful dis-
play put up by a score or more retailers, each of whom
had a booth. Why New York retailers did not make
similar use of their opportunities passed his compre-
hension.

W. A. Manda ascertained from Mr. Totty that the
St. Louis show committee did not charge for the
space used ; the same applied to the Hartford show
last January. In New York it was different. Max
Schling declared it was a double hardship to show in

New York, as the Spring show ran a whole week and
the expense was too great.

Arthur Herriugton referred to the altar exhibit at the
last Spring show. New York florists had been given
the opportunity to each decorate it for one day, with
no charge for space, but they turned it down. He
went on to describe how a Brooklyn florist had been
glad of the opportunity and the effect the daily dis-
play had had on church decorations.

Max Schling then made an impassioned speech, the
gist of which was to the effect that such a display
would encourage work on the Sunday. New York flo-
rists had striven to cut out Sunday work and they did
not wish to further encourage it. Antony Ruzicka
pointed out that, followed to its logical conclusion,
there would be no flowers at all; growers had to do
a certain amount of work on Sunday and many other,
businesses, including transportation and restaurants
had to keep going.

Prompted by A. L. Miller's reference to retailers be-
ing poor sports, Mr. Kottmiller suggested that at the
next show a space be set aside for the retailers to dis-
play their work — not in competition. He thought a
score or more florists would be willing to keep it
filled for the week. Max Schling declared he had
always striven to make a display ; last Spring pres-
sure of business prevented it. He went on to explain
how costly it was to keep up an exhibit such as he
had put up and the bitter criticism of some people
who valued the flowers on display at market rates in
comparison with the marked figures, without con-
sidering the cost of the exhibit and the salaries of
several attendants tied to the show for seven or eight

Chas. H. Totty agreed that Mr. Schling had done
all as stated ; Max Schling was ready to give a help-
ing hand to anyone for the uplift of the trade. Sev-
eral others had a word to say on the subject and, as a
result of the cyclone, as Mr. Totty termed it, it looks
as if the New York retailers will certainly be busy
at the next Spring show.

The Exhibits

Chas. H. Totty Co., Madison, N. J., staged a won-
derful vase of the new Rose, America. The more one
sees of this Rose the more remarkable it appears to
be. Scored by the Awards Committee it made the
high average of 91 points, preliminary certificate rec-
ommended.

A. N. Pierson, Inc., exhibited a grand vase of Chrys-
anthemum Adrian's Pride. Of the commercial type,
it is a bold, hardy looking yellow of balllike forma-
tion. It scored S7 points on the commercial scale. Pre-
liminary certificate awarded. The same firm staged
six vases of Pompons which received a vote of thanks.
The varieties were : November Gold, a fairly large
yellow, superb in the spray ; New York, light bronze,
a beauty ; Louisa Davenport, somewhat darker ; Juva
Nicholson, a larger bronze ; Betty Watkins, lighter, of
similar build ; and Governor Lake, deep bronzy red.

Roman J. Irwin, New York, showed several vases
of small flowered, quilled seedling 'Mums in various
colors ; the flowers were single and double, but the
quilling of the petals rather hides the color than
helps. Vote of thanks.

The same award was given to the Henshaw Floral
Co., N. Y., for a large Orange plant; to A. L. Miller,
Jamaica, for superb examples of Begonia Melior and
Erica ovata ; and to Alfred Demeusy, Brooklyn, for
two vases of Carnations, Lucille, deep pink, and Im-
proved Enchantress, rich color.

Following the awards committee's report the meet-
ing adjourned, whereupon refreshments were handed
around. Thus came to an end a delightful evening
shortly after 10 p.m.

What We Know About Boston Ferns

lima, unquestionably did. Sniithi is normally four
times divided. The climax is reached in the five pin-
nate type, like the Craigi leaf in the illustration.

This is the first time it has been possible to present
an illustration showing all seven steps in the evolu-
tionary series. Six years ago I published in a scien-
tific magazine a report on this subject, but with no
illustration of Barrowsi, which had disappeared from
the trade. Finally I obtained a plant from Lemoine,
France, and later secured another from a United
States source. Aside from its commercial interest the
whole series of Boston Fern varieties has an intense
interest for scientific circles. There seems to be no
other group, plant or animal, in which so extensive a
succession of progressive evolutionary steps is avail-
able in living form.

Montbretia or Blazing Star. See text

Montbretia

If all flowers were as easy to raise and sell as
Montbretia (Tritonia croeosmiseflora) growers would
soon run themselves out of business. Since I have
tried Montbretia, or Blazing Star, a few years ago,
I cannot understand why it has not been in general
use right along. Certainly it isn't new, for our
grandmothers had it in their gardens, nor do I call it
anything marvelous, as its uses are limited. As it
increases rapidly, a small local market might soon
get flooded, but why sit back and wait for the other
fellow to skim off the cream before you try it. Here
is an instance I know.

In my neighborhood one of the men growing for
the local wholesale market bought 200 Montbretia
bulbs at $6.50 per 100. He had never seen Montbretia,
but thought he would try them. The first planting cut
a couple of hundred blooms that sold for $4 per 100.
This was in 1917. He has kept these bulbs and their
increase every year, cutting more and more, and now
he has bushels of these bulbs or corms. Last season
he cut 10,000 flowers that averaged $3 per 100 be-
sides selling $S0O worth of surplus corms to a local
seedsman. It may sound "fishy" but it's true.

It is a slender, erect growing, branching plant
about 2%ft. high with swordlike leaves similar to
Gladioli. The flowers, ranging in color from orange
to crimson, and about 2in. in diameter, are arranged
along a clean, stiff stem, making it easy to cut. In
this latitude, corms planted outside will have a bloom-
ing period from Aug. 1 to Nov. 1.

The corms are handled in the same manner as
Gladioli and the increase is easier to handle, the
cormels all being larger and mostly of blooming size.

This last Fall I potted some and grew them on in a
cool house. They grew nicely but showed no signs of
blooming, so cannot say how they would do in the
greenhouse. Schtjyleb Aenold.

Coal Conclusions

Anyone is likely to make mistakes, and when your
friend or neighbor urges a certain course of action,
you are, of course, prepared to act upon it or not as
you think best, and then abide by the consequences.
But when the Government or its representatives re-
quest or urge a line of action with the inference that
it will be good for you as well as the public inter-
ests, you are naturally inclined to follow the advice
whatever you may think of it.

It is all the more disappointing, therefore, when
as in the coal situation outlined by a Kalamazoo
(Mich.) correspondent in this issue, one does what
the Government suggests only to find oneself penalized
as it were by having to pay higher prices after all.

The fuel problem is a difficult one, of course; but the
Government will not make its future work any easier
if it suggests certain remedies and promises certain
benefits therefrom without being pretty "sartin sure"
The conclusion seems to be, as before, that the best
that the one will follow the other,
plan for all consumers will be to economize to the
utmost, to utilize every possible sort of low grade,
relatively abundant fuel, and to avoid buying (but
more especially burning) the scarcer, good grades of
anthracite, etc., until there are larger supplies on
hand.

Strength

I like trees

Which do not fear to stand
All alone against the sky,

With space on either hand.

And I like folk

Who need not herd together,
It takes the strongest, trees and men.

Alone to face the weather.

Scarff and Small Fruits

By Alfred C. Hottes
Department of Horticulture, Ohio State
University

The Best Varieties of Small Fruits

It will be of interest to note Mr. Scarff's choice of
the best varieties of small fruits for amateur use. It |
is a keen pleasure to grow fruit so that it may be
picked fully ripe directly into the dish from which
it is eaten.

To those who are supplying the amateur gardeners
of our country with small fruit stock for their homes,
let me introduce the firm of W. N. Scarff & Sons.

Thirty-five years ago, in the fertile Miami Valley
of southern Ohio, at New Carlisle, W. N. Scarff rented
a half acre of ground from his father in order that
he might try his hand raising Blackberries and other
small fruit. His success for five years, during which
time he added more land led others to believe that
there was money in his crops and that he had superior
stock. They demanded that he sell them some of his
fruit bushes. Then he became a nurseryman, and
today controls quite a trade with the florists.

Since that day he has acquired 1400 acres of land,
a palatial residence, three dairies, a herd of cattle,
500 pure blood Hampshire hogs and 100 Hampshire
sheep, a vegetable greenhouse range and two married
sons. Two hundred of his acres are in nursery stock,
100 in orchards of Apples and tree fruits. On his
farm he has in all 500 head of cattle, 1200 hogs, 600
sheep and a flock of chickens; all of which help to
maintain the fertility of the soil. For the market he
is raising an extensive acreage of bush fruits and
Strawberries. In his greenhouse he has a good crop
of Tomatoes. In spite of his remarkable progress
he is still in the prime of life and is as young as his
two sons, who are almost as old as their father in
experience, for they were raised in the nursery.

The sons, Maxwell M. and Howard N,
are both graduates of Ohio State Univer-
sity. Bach son now has a new home on
the Scarff estate, overlooking the road to
the picturesque town of New Carlisle.

The Scarff Raspberry

About ten years ago, in the fruit planta-
tion of a neighbor of Mr. Scarff, there ap-
peared a seedling of the old variety Gregg.
Of this seedling Mr. Scarff bought the en-
tire stock. It has many good qualities, it
is extremely productive, perfectly hardy,
free from most diseases, the fruit is large,
the plants are drought resistant, and pro-
duce an abundance of strong canes, and, as
Mr. Scarff remarked, "It has more good
points than any other Black Cap ever in-
troduced, hence the name 'Scarff.' " On the
fruit farm, 15 acres of this variety are
growing.

Potato Eyes

An interesting business has developed in the ship-
ping by mail of Potato eyes. The eyes are cut from

Residence of N. W. Scarff, New Carlisle, O.

Seed Warehouse (70ft. x 140ft.) of N. W. Scarff & Sons, New Carlisle, O.

the tuber and
packed in small
boxes which cost
only a few cents
to ship. Custom-
ers are pleased
with the results
which they ob-
tain. Many orders
are for as many
as 2000 eyes. Mr.
Scarff figures that
under usual con-
ditions 75 eyes
will produce a
bushel of pota-
toes and for
these 75 eyes he
charges less than
a cent apiece.

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

Root Areas

Many people never give much thought
to the subject of the root area of plants
and this is probably the chief reason why
they are content to more or less scratch
over the surface of their soil and call it
digging. The subject has lately been
closely studied by scientists, under the
auspices of the Carnegie Institute, and
it has been found that common crops like
Corn, Oats, Barley, etc., will send their
roots as deep as 9ft.. On an average,
the rooting depths is governed by the
height of the plant or rather the reverse
action takes place. The deeper the roots
can go the stronger and taller the plant
grows. Wheat, it is said, will root 6ft.
deep, perhaps twice the height of the
plant.

All grain crops grown on the prairie
lands of Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado
are said to draw their needed moisture
from below the 3ft. level, and this prob-
ably explains why a shallow rooting crop
like Clover can share the ground with-
out interfering with the grain crop.

Generally speaking, it would not be
wise to deeply plow soils for grain crops
in regions that get a heavy rainfall, as
it would make the growth gro9s and liable
to being flattened when the grain is near
the ripening stage. With intensive crops,
however, ground cannot be worked too
deeply, and especially is it beneficial in
a dry season. Whether the soil is light
or heavy, deep cultivation pays, and if
manure is applied, some of it should be
in the lower level.

Treating Roots of Diseased Trees

From time to time theorists or fakers
have declared that diseased trees can be
treated by way of the roots or by inocu-
lation. One of the most mysterious and
serious diseases in England is that called
silver leaf, which is particularly prone to
attack Plum trees. In latter years it
has appeared in Apples and in certain
ornamental trees.

The disease, supposedly caused by
stercum purpureum, causes the silvering
of the foliage and, in most instances, the
trees die after two or three seasons. The
fruiting growth of the disease does not
show until after the trees are dead. All
sorts of experiments have been made to
combat this disease, and every care has
been taken to prevent its spread by way
of bark wounds, etc. It would now ap-
pear that a large fruit grower has dis-
covered a cure, for the disease. This sub-
stance, presumably a powder for applying
to the soil, is called Silver Stop, and it
is claimed that it has not failed wherever
tried. Large branches showing the tell-
tale streaks of the fungus have, after two
seasons, entirely regained their health,
the trees bearing full crops of fruit.

Nerines

The F. H. B. seems to have tabulated
things pretty well at the recent Wash-
ington meeting, but I cannot but wonder
how they figured it out that Nerines are
too cheap to grow. Considering the long
time it takes to produce flowering bulbs,
the commonest of them will never come
in the cheap category. I am not sure
whether any of the hybrid forms are

grown in the open ground outside of
ruernsey; in England, where most of the
best hybrids have been raised, are all
pot grown, but as they call for nothing
more than a coldframe or a cold house,
they are not an expensive crop to grow.
It is their slowness that makes them ex-

Sensive. I believe Thos. Roland of
Tahant holds the biggest stock of Nerines
in America, including those of foreign
origin, and many he has raised himself;
but even after 20 or more years, I dare
venture to hazard that he is in no posi-
tion to meet a big demand for bulbs if it
suddenly developed.

The fact that Nerines are not well
known is probably due to the fact that
the public rarely has had a chance to
see them.

Domestic Stocks of Daffodils

Regarding Trumpet Daffodils, I note
one member of the bureau thinks that
in a few years it would be possible to
meet all demands with domestic stocky
except for novelties. What is the limit of
a few years? England has been growing
the bulbs commercially for 20 or 30 years;

most of the best commercial sorts, includ-
ing Emperor and Empress, were raised
there, and yet it is not clear that the
home trade can be met with domestic
stock. True, the Hollanders buy enor-
mous quantities of English grown Daffo-
dils and Tulips, but the fact remains that
when the embargo against Dutch bulbs
was put on during the war, the English
and Guernsey growers couldn't meet the
home demand, and when the growers had
to plow up much of their stock to plant
food crops, matters were further aggra-
vated.

So far as figuring on present American
plantations of 100,000 or so, and that
seems to be thought quite a big batch,
such quantities are a mere drop in the
ocean. Round about Spalding, Lines, in
England, there are scores of acres de-
voted to these bulbs for cut bloom; this
season 50 tons of bloom were shipped from
Spalding station in one week. Figure the
additional millions of bulbs that are
forced under glass and planted in gardens
and one may gain some idea as to the
quantity America will need if she sets
out to produce her own Emperor, Em-
press, Spur, Victoria, etc. As for the
newer sorts, the price of King Alfred
after about 20 years talks plainer than
words.

Burbank Still Busy

Luther Burbank is not going to allow
other folks to boss the Gladiolus world,
at least others are evidently bent on hav-
ing us believe that Burbank as a Gladiolus
raiser, is just as big? as he is with all
other things. Anyway a firm is offering
Burbank's Gladiolus Elora at $1 a bulb
and to impress us we are asked to read
what Luther Burbank, "the world's
greatest plant breeder," says of it. Bur-
bank says: "When I originated Elora, I
considered it the finest Gladiolus in the
world at that time." You wouldn't ex-
pect any other view would you, but may-
be the reservation "at that time" means
Burbank has something better now. Anyway
we are expected to believe that Elora is
it as a commercial Gladiolus so now's the
time to invest as it is a rapid multiplier.

Another Glass Substitute

Ever since I was a kid I have been
looking for a substitute for glass for frame
and greenhouse purposes — I don't mind
admitting that as a "nipper" I hadn't
the kudos to buy glass, even though it
was 5c. a foot — consequently my first sash
was covered with! calico treated with
sugar of lead. Actually, glass is perfect
for the purpose; it is imperishable and
it ought to be cheap, though it isn't, but
its greatest drawbacks are its fragile char-
acter and its weight. As has been men-
tioned in the F. E. on several occasions,
a really good, cheap and lightweight sub-
stitute for glass would prove mighty
handy. The oiled paper sold in England
20 or more years ago was never strong
enough, yet it ofttimes came in handy,
but it was not until the war cut down the
glass supply and put sheet glass along
with diamonds and precious jewels, that
a really promising substitute came on
the scene. This material called Spon-
dite was transparent and reinforced with
wire mesh. I saw samples of this, but
I understand the wire was not rust proof
so that the material was actually no
cheaper than glass. Another material
called Windowwhtte and of the same orders
is now on the English market, but the
price appears to be on a par with that of
glass.

Under the circumstances I was inter-
ested when a young Belgian student
dropped in to show me a material which
apparently resembles Windowhite, but
which, according to his figuring, could be
made with a cotton backing at about 4c.
a foot and with wire at about double that
figure. The mesh foundation of the sam-
ples he showed me were both cotton and
wire mosquito netting. The mesh was
completely covered with a transparent sub-
stance which, unlike celluloid, would not
readily burn, yet it can stand water and
folding or screwing without cracking. It
will stand up to 240 degs F. without being
affected. It naturally occurred to the
young experimenter that wire mesh coated
with this substance could be used for
greenhouses and seemingly one New Jer-
sey grower was sufficiently interested to
get the inventor prepare enough of the
material to cover 2000 sq. ft. of Chrys-
anths that happened to be in the open.
I am hoping ere long to see this experi-
mental glass-less house.^

How the material will stand exposure
for long periods is not yet known, but it

seems certain that being unaffected by
heat and not going black under exposure,
this new material is the thing we are look-
ing for. It can be rolled or folded and
if a hole is knocked in it, a patch can be
stuck on without loss of time.

Do Gladiolus Bulbs Die of Old Age ?

A. E. Kunderd inquires to this effect in
a recent issue of The Flower Grower and
quotes as an instance, Brenchleyensis.
Fifty years ago the mother of a customer
of his was given four corms and this same
stock goes on producing fine blooms pre-
sumably in the same garden. Whether
any other early raised hybrids have kept
their vigor or character it is not easy to
say. Brenchleyensis was, I believe, raised
or introduced by D. Youell, father of the
late secretary of the American Gladiolus
Society and while it does not figure so
much as formerly, it is still in demand,
in fact, G. J. Joerg of Long Island,
keeps increasing his plantings of it. Likely
as not his bulbs find their way over the
water, for despite the influx of new sorts,
no Glad, is more used for early work in
England than Brenchleyensis. That many
later sorts have died out is well known;
growers both here and in England have
found some sorts steadily declining, and
because the more modern strains have
shown greater vigor, earlier strains have
been dropped. I believe that since Groffs'
hybrids and Childsii hybrids came on the
scene, Gladioli have shown less tendency
to die out than formerly, and die out
some of the original Gandvensis sorts cer-
tainly did. In his book, Allen in 1893 re-
corded that Gladioli did deteriorate and
he instanced varieties that actually went
back to species types. Why Brenchley-
ensis should hold so long and whether oth-
ers will ever rival it are questions we
can't answer. Some speoies certainly
hold their character for I knew an old
garden where purpurea and psittacinus
had flowered for many years and were
never lifted.

Eelworm in Daffodils

Speaking of eelworm a dealer recently
showed me some samples of Emperor,
Holland grown, which had gone wrong
since their arrival. Judging by what I
could see, under an ordinary glass, mite
was finishing what eelworm had begun.
Bulbs cut open showed the tell-tale brown
marks caused by eelworm or mite. Spe-
cially bad samples were more or less filled
with dust, in which mite like objects
could be discerned. These mites might
have followed the decay caused by eel-
worm, but in all probability they were
present before the bulbs were packed.
Among some new Daffs, from England,
I also found one bulb which had been the
sport of eelworm, but in this case the
bulb was ■ wholly dead, no live scales
being left. What I am interested in is
whether the total breakdown of the bulb
happened in one month. No form of life
was visible, and the other bulbs were
sound.

Chrysanthemum Midge

The Canadian Department of Agricul-
ture reports the 'Mum midge all over. It
first appeared at Ottawa, and arrived
there via a shipment of plants from this
side of the border. Undoubtedly, says
our Toronto scribe, the midge is of Euro-
pean origin.

Why this undoubtedly? I guess 'Mums
were in vogue in England and France long
before they reached here, but I have yet
to see it recorded that such a pest is
known to 'Mum growers in those countries.
I have read not a few European books
on 'Mums, and a multitude of articles,
but never once has reference to a midge
been made, and although I have worked
among thousands of plants in the open
and propagated cuttings galore, I never
saw a midge on the other side. The same
applies to the Rose midge.

If these pests came to America from
any part of Europe, it was not on Rose
or 'Mum stock. Incidentally, the treat-
ment of the 'Mum wholly as an indoor
plant is possibly responsible for the midge
activities. In England and France the
plants, pot grown included, spend five to
six months outdoors.

Cheer Mondays

Chicago has started an, organization to
take the blueness out of Monday. Actu-
ally I'm inclined to think those fellows
wouldn't feel so blue after the week-ends
if they'd take a pickaxe and spade and
bust up their wasted lawns, and thereby
stimulate their livers, instead of driving
an auto all day Sunday and then figure
on Monday what the gas cost.

But joking apart, Cheer Monday re-
minds me that in a seacoast town in the
South of England, population about 40,000,
there is a society called the Cheerful
Sparrows. It was started after the war,
to stimulate the people of the town, who,
by the way, saw perhaps more of the war
than any other town in England. This
society embraces all sorts of business
men, and seems to lay itself out to boost
business, aid ex-soldiers and so on, putting
on concerts, lectures and what not to
help out the idea of being cheerful. From
time to time, a friend sends me a paper,
and always the Cheerful Sparrows are on
the job. In fact, it would seem the
Cheerful Sparrows are a by-word.

Figuring It Out

Two farmers met after church as usual,
and this conversation: "Sold your pig?"

"Yes."

"What d'ye get?"

"Thirteen dollars."

"What'd it cost ye to raise it?"

"Paid $3 for the shoat, $5 for the lum-
ber in the pen and house, and five more
for the feed."

"Didn't make much, did ye?"

"No, but I had the use of the pig all
Summer.' — Argonaut.

Maybe there are some florist growers
who figure on a similar basis and then
complain it doesn't pay to buy in young
stock and grow it on.

Travelers Mileage Coupon Books

Charging that the carriers have pro-
duced no evidence that would show a pos-
sible injury by reason of the issuance of
interchangeable mileage or scrip coupon
tickets, the National Council of Traveling
Salesmen's Associations, through its at-
torney, Samuel Blumberg, has filed a brief
with the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion asking it to order the issuance of
such tickets, in accordance with the bill
passed by Congress shortly before the ses-
sion adjourned.

The traveling men's brief summarizes
the testimony which was given by their
representatives during the hearings held
before the commission and reviews -the
testimony of the carriers. "The com-
mercial travelers who have appeared in
these proceedings believe that the evidence
presented clearly establishes the fact that
there is a demand from the merchants and
salesmen of the country for the issuance
of an interchangeable mileage book at a
reduced rate," it is declared in the brief.
"That, in their opinion," the book, "if is-
sued with reasonable rules and regulations
that will not retard its sale, and yet will
at the same time sufficiently protect the
carriers against abuses, will result in a
great stimulation of business which will
bring added revenues to the carriers and
generally benefit the business of the coun-
try.

"We believe that the carriers have not
produced testimony of probative force
that would have the effect of satisfying
the commission that such an interchange-
able scrip coupon book will result in a
loss of revenue to the carriers and we
therefore respectfully request, based upon
the testimony adduced in this proceeding
and in conformity with the intent of Con-
gress, as well as the testimony and ex-
hibits submitted to both Houses of Con-
gress, that this commission order at the
earliest possible moment the issuance of
an interchangeable script coupon book,
good on all roads (excepting such roads
as should in the judgment of the commis-
sion be exempted) at 33 1/3 per cent be-
low the normal passenger fare, with such
conditions and subject to such rules and
regulations as may in the judgment of
the commission be deemed just and rea-
sonable."

Final arguments will be heard by the
commission Nov. 15. C. L. L.

American Dahlia Society Bulletin

The October issue of the A. D. S. official
organ is well filled with show reports and
other matter. Apparently The Florists
Exchange report of the Dahlia show at
New York is considered worth spreading
among the amateur fraternity, for it is
practically reproduced in its entirety,
with the official awards list in addition.
Notes on other shows; "Principles of No;
menclatin-e," and a "Paper on Dahlias,
by Richard Vincent, Jr., serve to fill prac-
tically the whole 24 pages of the Bulletin.

AT THE FLORISTS

By A. L. CLOSE

"Tame business — this." exclaimed a large, florid
man, as he gazed about the florist shop.

"I do not find it so," quietly replied the little man
behind the counter. "I love the pretty things. They
seem almost human, and besides, it is quite like a
story — this following up the flowers sent for debuts,
weddings, funerals — "

But the florid man was not interested and departed,
pocketing his change as he went. The little old man
shrugged his shoulders, threw his hands outward and
then let them drop to his sides.

I strode up to the counter. "Friend." I said, "don't
expect sentiment from a man of that type — money and
the flesh pots are all that would appeal — but I love
stories and I have plenty of time. If you are not too
busy, tell me some!"

Having thus commanded. I seated myself upon a
stone garden bench and prepared to listen. Perhaps I
had sounded a bit too imperious, for I thought he was
not going to answer. I smiled and said "Please!"

He returned my smile and said "Come with me."
We went into an adjoining room and there I beheld
the most beautiful bunch of yellow Chrysanthemums
one could imagine.

"Our story," he said, "will be entitled 'Yellow
Chrysanthemums.' " And, leaving the store in charge
of the clerks, we settled
ourselves in sight of the
beautiful bouquet.

"It began a long, long
time ago — a Saturday af-
ternoon in late October — ■
when they first came into
the shop. She was very
beautiful, with soft
brown eyes and curly,
wind-tossed hair and
glowing cheeks. He was
a fine looking young fel-
low, well set up and with
clear gray eyes. He was
strong and clean and
splendid. He wanted to
buy her orchids — they
were new then — but she
chose a yellow Chrysan-
themum, just a single
flower pinned against her
dark brown suit.

"They came again soon
afterwards and bought
Eoses for her to wear
to a dance. It was a big
society affair, and I had
charge of the decorations.
I made it a point to be
there, behind the screen
of flowers, where I could
see a good deal that went on.

,"She was wearing rose-colored
Eoses, and she looked like a
I overheard two gossips

friend, and right on top of this piece of news came
the announcement of the engagement of the girl and
the youth. Probably the mother, seeing the error of
her way, had repented.

"He came in alone that day. How joyous he was !
He wrung my hand and stepped as though on air,
seeking for just the right thing to send her.

" 'How about yellow Chrysanthemums?' I ventured.

"'Oh fine! Have you any?'

" 'I have, although it is a bit early,' I made answer.

"And so a huge bouquet went to her. All day long
I found myself picturing her delight when she re-
ceived it. Other flowers were sent, but I knew the
yellow Chrysanthemums would mean the most, would
bear her the sweetest message.

"They came often after that — all through the Fall
and Winter, and always it was yellow Chrysanthe-
mums that she chose. Easter brought her Violets,
but they did not suit her so well. Violets belong to
pale blondes.

"Soon after Easter they were married — " The
narrator paused for a long time. I sat perfectly still.
I knew that I was not only hearing the story of

chiffon and his
beautiful Eose herself,
saying that she was in dis-
grace with her mother, because she had refused to
wear flowers another man in town had sent. I mar-
veled at the blindness of some mothers. Here was a
young and beautiful girl, loved by a clean and honest
youth ; yet, if what these women said were true, thar,
mother would willingly sell this exquisite being to
that satiated man of the world, because of his millions.

"The next day they came into the shop and I over-
heard her tell him that it angered her mother and
only caused trouble when she wore any flowers other
than those sent by this man of millions. 'And those
I will not wear,' she added vehemently.

" 'Don't wear mine. Keep them in your room and
think of me,' he said in low tones.

"So things went all through the Winter and into
the Spring. Sometimes they came together and some-
times he came alone. Upon one of the occasions he
looked so dispirited that I said to him, 'Don't let
that man get her ! Itun off with her yourself.'

" 'Jove, I'd like to,' he answered, looking surprised.

" 'That girl is worth going through fire and water
for' I told him, and he quite agreed with me.

"Summer took them out of town and I missed them.
In the early Fall came the scandal. The rich man
was in disgrace. He had run off with the wife of a

"Them," but unconsciously, the old man was baring
his very soul to me. I knew intuitively that he had
loved this girl.

Finally, he resumed. "And flowers ! My, but they
had beautiful flowers! With my own hands, I ar-
ranged the bridal bower, for had she not come danc-
ing in here herself, with the request that I should do
so? And then she had asked me to come to their
wedding — to come as a guest! And as a guest I went.
I kissed the bride and she complimented me upon her
bouquet, every bit of which I had made myself ; and
I gripped his hands and made him promise to be good
to her.

"After that they did not come so often. It was
not that he loved her less, but they were young and
had to count their pennies and she helped him to save.
Still, there were times, certain anniversaries they
observed, when she had her flowers.

"Chrysanthemums came and went, and came again;
and with their second coming, came also their great
glory. When I heard the news, I carried an armful
of yellow Chrysauthemums to the house myself. He
let me in and insisted that I come » upstairs and see
God's wondrous gift to them.

"That blessed woman heard my voice and called
me in her room, and my very soul bowed before her,
lying there, her glorious hair waving across the pil-
low and that divine light in her eyes, as she showed
me their little daughter!

"Five years rolled by and the little baby grew into
a beautiful child — a strange combination of both par-
ents. She was old enough to come and thank me pret-

tily for the quaint bouquets I sent her on her birth-
days.

* * *

"Now all of the flowers sent so far had been for
happy or joyous occasions, but the time came when
they were sent for the saddest of all occasions for
her. He died, and all the light and joy went out of
her life for many days.

"I sent her a message of sympathy and asked what
flowers she would wish me to send. I received a piti-
ful little note asking for yellow Chrysanthemums, and
saying, 'You and I know what they stood for between
us, and I want him to have some.' And he did.

"And so did the little life that came to comfort her
in the Winter time. Such quantities of flowers her
friends sent her ! Poor, brave little woman, what a
year that was for her ! Her duty toward her chil-
dren and God's good grace kept her sane and sweet,
but how she suffered — not noisily, mind you, but in
just a quiet way that would have made your heart
ache !

"One day she came, a sweet little figure in mourn-
ing, and said, 'Dear friend, it has been a year — and
I want a few of your prettiest yellow Chrysanthe-
mums to take to him.' Her smile was brave, but her
voice shook a little, and I knew what an effort it was
costing her. How pathetic she looked — going out of
here alone with the flowers in her arms — going to
take them to his grave !

"A year ! Well, other years came and went, but
whether it stormed or whether the sun shone, she
always came on that anniversary — came alone and
went alone. And though rumor said she had many
suitors, she was always alone, save for the children.
"She came a few days ago and looked too ill to
make the trip, but she only smiled sadly when I urged

her not to go — it was so
raw and cold. And today
she will go again, but she
will be carried ! And my
yellow Chrysanthemums
will go with her, while,
from above, they will
both look down and smile,
pleased to know that
their friends remembered
and loved them ; for, ere
this, she is with him
whom she loved on earth,
and with their Heavenly
Father in Paradise.
* * *
"Tame business" did
that man call it? Tame
— with all these heart
throbs pulsing through
it? Ah no! Florists are
brought close to the re-
joicings and sorrowings
of human beings. Loving-
ly, their hands wrap the
flowers that are to bring
pleasure to the sick or
suffering ; sorrowfully
they wrap those to be
sent to a heartbroken
widow or widower, and
often. I think, they
breathe a prayer into the heart of the cluster, ask-
ing that the flowers may convey the message of love
and comfort and hope that God intended they should.

Flowers grow in sunshine,

Flowers grow in rain.
People live through laughter.

People live through pain.
Gtod, who's all of wisdom,

Sends them both the twain —
To all life some sorrow.

To all growth some rain.

A Practical Buying Suggestion

In your sales cultivation plan for the Fall and
Winter you will require methods that will stimulate
customers in a practical way. With business condi-
tions reviving, the desire to buy can be more easily
stimulated, but only through reasonable methods that
appeal in a practical manner to the shopper. One
useful plan is that of a window display showing
moderately priced flowers and plants, along with
perhaps some baskets and vases. In the center of
the window a placard should be set up containing a
picture of a piece of ice nearly melted. Over this
sketch or picture the following words can be printed :

WHAT YOU SAVE ON ICE

The expense of buying ice becomes an elimi-
nated expense during the Fall and Winter.
What you save in this direction will purchase
any of these attractive offerings toward mak-
ing yourself and others happy.

The Market

Nov. 11. — The attempts of Chicago
■wholesale cut flower merchants to clear
up their glut on Roses by unloading on
Cincinnati met with little success, accord-
ing to the statements of dealers last week.
Offerings were made of 36in. Premiers,
Mme. Butterfly, Hoosier Beauty and Kil-
larneys at 12c, and 20in. to 30in. stems
at 8e. to 10c. each. Some retailers stocked
up on Beauties to fill funeral piece orders,
but the general trade shied off, because
they said there are already too many
Roses on this market. This condition was
noted in almost all classes of cut flowers.
Although there were two frosts last week,
the days were warm, and growers were
still able to make cuttings of Dahlias,
Zinnias and Larkspur in places where
they were sheltered. Outdoor Chrysan-
themums were coming in great profusion,
and the market was so glutted with 'Mums
of all types and colors that the choice
late varieties had to go at a sacrifice.
Some handsome Turners, grown by
Charles Pfeiffer of Ft. Thomas, which
ought to have wholesaled at $8 to $10 per
doz., were hard to sell at $5, and the
smaller sorts sold as low as 6c. apiece.

The first supplies of bronze Galax ar-
rived and enjoyed a ready market; deal-
ers report a steady call for florist sup-
plies, baskets, wreaths and set work. A
few Cattleyas, Ascension Lilies and Callas
were also received, the Lilies moving
slowly. Cattleyas went in small lots at
$1.25 each. A large crop of Poinsettias
is expected for the Christmas holidays
as many growers are handling them.

Dealers here say they have declared a
strike on American Beauty Roses and will
not use them as long as they can get
Premier and Columbia to take their place.
They claim that American Beauty arrives
in bad condition and does not stand up
well under shipping by express. Excep-
tion is also taken to its color which the
local dealers assert is much surpassed by
the Roses grown in this neighborhood.
One prominent dealer said he did not
think the American Beauty compares with
the Hoosier Beauty for durability and
general satisfaction to the trade. He
said the trade here preferred Crusader to
all the New York Roses, and that retailers
got better results from it than from the
others of the seaboard greenhouses.

Trade Notes

Henry Mickley, prominent Cincinnati
florist, is preparing to leave soon for his
Winter home in Florida. He has been
under the weather for some time.

_ Charles E. Critchell, cut flower commis-
sion dealer and former president of the
Cincinnati Florists Club, is recovering
slowly from his illness.

Some 30 of the retail dealers of the
Cincinnati district met last Thursday
night at Julius Baer's retail store in
Fourth st., to discuss organization of re-
tailers. After some discussion, a body
to be known as the Retail Florists Asso-
ciation was formed, and the officers se-
lected were C. J. Jones of Walntat Hills,
Cincinnati, president; Joseph F. Maunder
of Newport, Ky., vice-president; and
G-eorge Kessling of Cincinnati, secretary-
treasurer. The organization is for the
improvement of the retail flower business
m the Cincinnati district, and, according
to the statement of the promoters, is to
be independent of the Cincinnati Florists
bociety. At first it was thought that
this would supplant the Florists Society,
many of whose members belong either to

Garden Advice by Radio

Quite timely for the season was an
item on the radio program of the Katisas
City Star, Nov. 10, on Fall planting.
The address ''into the air" was given by
Prof. Albert Dickens of the Kansas State
Agricultural College, Manhattan, Kans.
Prof. Dickens told the hundreds of thou-
sands who listened in, something about
the trend in tree planting; lie urged more
liberal planting of shrubs around trees
and in masses, and he called attention to
the fact that bulbs for Spring planting
should be put in at once. He emphasized
the need for prompt action to get best re-
sults. Florists will remember that the is-
suing of suggestions on planting, and on
beautification of cities and properties
generally, by radio, was initiated by the
Kansas City Floral Club, in a program
preliminary to the 1922 convention of
the S. A. F. and 0. BL, an idea conceived
by William L. Rock, and ably carried out
by the Kansas City Star through the co-
operation of the J. C. Nichols Co., which
provided the chief speaker for that radio
event.

Fall Trade Active

The emphasis on bulb planting came
at a time when bulbs were already the
dominant feature of sales of many flo-
rists. There seems to have been an un-
usual business in this line, enhanced, no
doubt, by the extremely open Fall. There
has been no bad weather this Fall and
only one or two days of rain. In conse-
quence landscape architects, nurserymen
and florists have had splendid opportuni-
ty to get work done for customers.
Shrubs have had a large sale this Fall.
The volume of work has illustrated the
advantage of presuming good business to
be available, whatever people might be
saying about "general conditions." Land-
scape people have, all Fall, been exerting
themselves to the utmost to get all pend-
ing contracts finished because bad weath-
er was "surely coming." Not only were
many contracts that under ordinary cir-
cumstances would have been interrupted,
finished this Fall, but many contracts were
secured and completed th\at were not
counted upon for 1922. The volume of
such additional work beyond normal ex-
pectations, that has been done, is well
reflected in the fact that the week end-
ing Nov. 11 was one of the busiest with
florists having planting advisers for cus-
tomers, and with landscape men. All
were busy, despite the fact that Fall
planting had previously proceeded almost
without hindrance from weather condi-
tions.

More people are buying flowers, and
flowers are used for a larger variety of
occasions, every year," Baid Hugo Neff,
manager of the Muehlebach Flower Shop.
He pointed out that the volume of his
business was increasing this Fall, but
that individual orders did not seem to
range so high, indicating that there were
more sales. This experience seems to be
in line with that of merchants in textile
and other commodities, who say that the
average purchase is smaller, but that
more people are buying the better mer-
chandise. People are wanting as big
values as they can get, in flowers as in ap-
parel, but they must have good things,
even though they get less in bulk or num-
ber.

supervision of the Board of Public Works
on streets not heretofore planted. In ad-
dition to this large contract, there are
many plantings, by concerns developing
residential districts. Visitors to Kansas
City viewing the boulevards may be in-
clined to think that Kansas City is al-
ready very well "treed." Every street
that is under the supervision of the Park
Board is being given careful attention.
The streets, not boulevards, are looked
after quite as carefully by the Board of
Public Works. Permits to plant must be
obtained from this board before a tree can
be planted.

E. E. Stockdale, superintendent of parks
in Kansas City, Kans., will make the
parks and beauty spots educational fac-
tors for the public next year. Trees and
shrubs will carry tags bearing their
names and flower and foliage plant in beds
will be similarly dealt with. He is work-
ing out special designs for park displays
which with the tagging of plants and
beds, will provide definite ideas to the
public for beautifying their own grounds.

Some good fancy 'Mums — big show stocks
— are quoted at $9 to $12 per doz. Car-
nations are quoted at $1 and $2 and
Roses from $2 to $12. There does not
seem to be any. hope of a noticeable ad-
vance in prices until 'Mums thin out and
the supply is confined to Roses, Carna-
tions and other seasonable flowers. Yellow
'Mums are now the most plentiful and are
quoted at fair prices; whites also are
holding, the supply having thinned out
somewhat. Pompons in all varieties are
seen and selling well.

Flower Show Notes

The St. Louis Flower Show was a
wonderful display, the cooperation of the
retailers especially contributing to its
success. They not only made displays at
the Coliseum, but also decorated the win-
dows at their stores. The attendance
the first night was small, but this is eas-
ily accounted for as it was Election night.
The Chrysanthemum Society and Park
Department made a creditable showing
and added greatly to the scene of floral
splendor. The show was advertised by
many of the retailers in the local papers
and by a trail of Oak leaves and pen-
nants on the posts from down town East

to Grand ave., west. The wholesalers
also decorated their buildings profusely
with Oak leaves. Visitors spoke well of
the show, and, indeed, the arrangements
were superb. School children were ad-
mitted free daily from 3.30 to 6 o'clock.
There is no doubt that with a suitable
building St. Louis can stage the National
Flower Show — and that must be her
goal.

Club Meeting

The St. Louis Florists Club held
its regular monthly meeting in the Coli-
seum Meeting Hall (adjoining the great
hall where the show was being held) on '
Thursday afternoon, Nov. 9. Many vis-
itors attended the meeting and Frank
Windier was in the chair. There were two
applications for membership and five
members were elected. The next meeting
of the club will take place at the new
store of the Windier Wholesale Floral
Co.

Walter Amling made a neat speech to
the members, as did his brother, Herbert
Amling, who also amused the members
with funny stories. Mr. Stammejohn of
the Reformatory of Bonnesville, Mo.,
spoke about his greenhouses and the in-
terest some of the boys take in flowers
and plants. Also how some of the boys
who had been released found employment
among the florists. Quite a discussion
was carried on as to how to increase the
attendance at the show the remainder of
the week. A talk was given by Jules
Bourdet on the show and the good it did
to the trade. By this time many of the
boys were wanting to get into the show
to view the Roses which were being
judged.

State Florists Meet Too

The annual meeting of the Missouri
State Florists Association took place Fri-
day evening, Nov. 10, in the same meeting
hall. Because the show was going on, the
attendance was small. W. A. Rowe was
in the chair and spoke a few words;
then the secretary's report was read.
Quite a discussion was held as to the ad-
visability, when going to the Legislature
for appropriations of getting up a com-
mittee from the St. Louis Florists Club,
the Horticultural Society and the State
Florists Association to get the needed ap-
propriations. A. J. Butterfield, Dr. Ken-
nedy, Weber, the nurseryman, and Prof.
Irish spoke in favor of getting together.
The next place of meeting will be Sedalia,
Mo.

The members of the association on Fri-
day morning, Nov. 10, were motored out
into the country to visit Jablonsky's
greenhouses. John Studle, Otto Brushning
and W. A. Rowe took luncheon at Coun-
try Club.

S. Bryson Ayres of Kansas City, who
has 15,000ft. of glass devoted to Sweet
Peas, is now cutting some good varieties.
Warm weather has put them back some,
but he expects a big crop for Christmas.

Officers were re-elected except that Sec-
retary Wade was made treasurer, and A.
J. Butterfield was elected secretary.

Trade Notes

Nov. 11. — Whatever the reason, the
fact remains that business cannot be con-
sidered more than fair. 'Mums decid-
edly have the call, not to be wondered at
when one considers what a show a dozen
will make and at prices are practically
pre-war. Doubtless they are a trifle
smaller, as it has become necessary to
grow two to a plant in order to make
expenses. Midges and moths have made
serious attacks on the 'Mums this year
and frequent spraying (mostly with ar-
senate of lead) made a lot of extra work
for the growers. The single varieties
are still popular and more will be grown
next season.

In order to view the prospects of the
coming season I took a journey to the
Van Boehove greenhouses and found their
stock in first class shape and all hands
busy. Nine houses are planted to Roses

Bumble Bees on Spree

Bumble bees, remarked the London
Daily Express, swarmed to a bed of
French Marigolds in a Heme Bay garden
and became shockingly inebriated. These
carousals occurred so frequently that the
owner of the garden, a woman, turned
the adjoining plot of Hollyhocks into an
inebriates' home, to which she carries
the bees. They awake from an hour's
glorious intoxication, on a sweet-scented
bed of flowers. The morning after has no
terrors for the drunken bee.

Hive bees and butterflies are not af-
fected. They sip decently and carry
their liquor like gentlemen.

Other flowers, notably a variety of the
sedum and the Helenium, stupefy all
bees, wild and hive, by the narcotic nec-
tar they yield. The insects remain intoxi-
cated for the whole night, and are re-
vived to sobriety by the sun the next day.

Trade Notes

Nov. 9. — Conditions as a whole have
improved since the advent of the recent
frost. The totals are about equal to last
year's for the same period, and from the
outlook it will hold its level from now on.
There is no appreciable oversupply, and
what looked like a deluge of 'Mums turned
out to be a normal supply. The Pompons
are especially in demand and are bringing
from $1 to $1.50 per bunch. It is ad-
visable that growers make their bunches
more uniform, so that the retailer can
have a standard price. If the growers ask
50c. per bunch, and some put in six
sprays, others eight and some ten and
12', : it can readily be seen that it is al-
most a necessity that the retailer rear-
range the bunches or pick each one tip
before fixing a price.

Visitors of the week were Mrs. E. H.
Stuart of the Carnation Farm of Seattle;
Dr. More of the Hollywood Gardens; Mr.
Stephens, with A. J. Burt of Spokane.
R. V. Hester, representing H Bayersdor-
fer & Co., is the last of the florist supply
men to pass for the season.

Frank Nowrocki, who recently took over
the old Scott place in Woodmere, has
added a Henry to his family. He has not
the courage to lead it around the town,
so he ties outside the conjested district.
Frank reports business as good.

The Rahn & Herbert Co. is showing
some very fine Cyclamen. In fact they
are the finest that have been shown in
recent, years.

Clarke Bros, are in the midst of their
'Mum season, and are showing quality
stock. Some very fine Golden Eagle were
displayed in their window recently.

Mike Schuster has sold his establish-
ment to Paul A. Aufrank, and the busi-
ness will be conducted under the name of
Aufrank Floral Co.

Wm. Borsh has taken over his green-
houses and will devote his entire time to
them. Sweet Peas and Violets will be his
main crops. He has so far the distinction
of bringing in the first Sweet Peas.

Smith's has a horse show window, which
attracted quite a lot of attention. The
horse show as a flower buying stimulator
is of the zero type

Nov. 3. — Business conditions con-
tinue spasmodic and it can safely be said
that all shops could handle a little more
at times. The local supply of 'Mums has
now taken the center of the stage and lit-
tle or no help is needed from outside.
Pompons as usual, sell well, but the con-
tinued supply in the Public Market of
fine outdoor Pompons somewhat hampers
real demand for this class of stock. Gla-
diolus, Marigolds, Scabiosas and Dahlias
are still coming in strong from outdoors.
This seems rather late but it is on record
that the last Gladiolus cut a year ago,
was Nov. 15, which leaves us a few days
to go.

Carnations are getting into regular
shape and for color and keeping quality,
are improving daily. The supply is
equal to the demand in most cases and
the heavy out of town call keeps the
local market clean so far as the whole-
saler is concerned. Roses are in good
supply and the cut has reached a normal
stride. The new Red Columbia shows
early signs of turning black in cloudy
weather, which is a pity as in bud it is
surely a beautiful Rose. Golden Ophelia
has also come into popular favor and at
present is finding a great many admirers
among corsage wearers. Its size and won-
derful clear yellow is in its favor and it
keeps better than the parent.

The local 'Mum crop is composed chiefly
of Pink and White Chieftain. Smith's
Imperial, Chrysolora, Bonnaffon, W.
Waite, the grandest of the bronze sorts,
Mrs. Gibson and Carmaletta.

Pot stock is now not nearly so much in
demand as a few weeks ago when there
were fewer flowers to tempt the buyer
Ferns and Rubbers are holding their otto
but the fern dish is losing out for some
reason or another.

The Public Market and Its Effects

Slowly and gradually, the flower
business as it exists in the truly retail
sense, has changed so that today business
methods that were found correct and
profitable ten years ago cannot be made
successful today. The socalled cash and
carry customer has more or less disap-
peared insofar as the retail patronage
is concerned. The largest percentage of
flowers sold are either made up as
funeral offerings, centerpieces, corsage

work and decorations. These are all op-
erations that require skill and time. Work
of this class requires delivery systems.
That the cash and carry customer was
profitable is conceded by both wholesaler
and retailer, but the made up work natur-
ally requires a larger profit to ensure a
net balance at the end of the year.

Many statements have appeared regard-
ing the profit percentage necessary, but
the usual comment on these has hitherto
been that they might be alright back East,
but it surely would not work here. The
necessity of a longer profit is felt by all
classes of retailers and those that ask it
are the ones that will continue in busi-
ness with something besides paid bills at
the end of the year. Probably the larg-
est single factor that caused this change,
has been the Public Market, where from
$600 to probably as high as $2000 or
$3000 worth of stock is sold per week, in
the height of the Spriug planting sea-
son. This is no small item and can hard-
ly be overlooked. More and more the
Public Market is getting to be a flower
center and the public thinks nothing of
buying all its loose flowers there, only
patronizing the shops when service is
wanted. This applies to people of every
class; the millionaire rubs elbows with
the poor man at the same flower booths.
The heavy competition on the market has
greatly forced down the price of flowers,
and this has probably made it somewhat
less profitable, but has not discouraged
any from keeping a stand on flower days.

In one way the more flowers used and
the more accustomed the public becomes
to using flowers in their daily life, the
more we will all profit thereby, but if the
market is to sell at figures lower than
wholesale prices, the public will have to
pay for service at a rate that will make
it remunerative for the retailer doing only
a socalled service business.

To really appreciate how generally the
flower buying public patronizes the mar-
ket, a visit on flower days will be educa-
tional. Regular customers you will find
buying Zinnias, outdoor 'Mums and oth-
er offerings. In fact, so misleading has
been the accepted opinion of low prices on
the market that Easter Lilies which could
be bought at 50c. at the shops on Easter
were carried away from the market by
the thousands at the same price; further-
more the Lilies offered in the market were
only seconds, which goes to show that the
price of anything is the accepted value
placed upon it by common usage. This
indicates how important it is to prop-
erly educate the buying public to prices
that are right.

News Notes

It has been decided that Leo's
party was a grand success; it's only a
year from now when once again the florists
will frolic together again, according to
Leo Wiedeman.

The usual Hallowe'en decorations were
in evidence in the flower shop windows.
The Holden Floral Co. showed bronzy
decorations, including some fancy blooms
of W. Waite.

Smith's Flower Shop had a window of
Pumpkins, decorated and filled with
flowers. Gold and yellows carried out the
spirit of the day.

Niklas & Son showed some very quaint
Gourds which were colored by air brush.
Some were dressed up as figures while
others in their natural colors outlined
the window.

Clarke Bros, showed decorated Pump-
kins and some very fine Blood Oak and
Corn stalks. There were also various
basket arrangements that harmonized with
the rest of the window.

Martin & Forbes Co. is showing some
very fine Roses. Their Premier are es-
pecially fine. Ophelia, Columbia and
Mae Martin are also in fine crop.

Crantfords are showing some fine bas-
ket arrangements of Pompons, Mrs. Poli-
worth 'Mum also on display here.

Lubliners had a very attractive Hal-
lowe'en window at both shops. Roses
were especially fine.

Chappells, as usual, are the Wm. Tur-
ner specialists. This firm seems to be
able to handle more of this large 'Mum
than most shops. H. N.

two weeks has advanced some varieties
ahead of their season so we now have a
great variety, especially in Pompons,
which owing to the new forms brought
out each year, are more popular than
ever.

Roses rank second to the 'Mums and
some choice stock is coming in. The sup-
ply about equals the demand. Carnations
with the second crop now coming in, are
much improved in size, length of stem
and keeping qualities.

Bouvardia, Sweet Alyssum and Cecil
B runner Roses help to make variety. No
Sweet Peas as yet.

In pot stock Caprice 'Mums are much
in favor, being shown by all the stores.
Cyclamen are gaining in color each day,
but very little demand. Primroses are
only fair; ferns are selling well. This
stock was never finer. Counter trade is
increasing and prospects are bright for
the holidays.

News Notes

The ground froze to the depth of
2in. one evening last week which served
to hasten the planting of bulbs and Peony
roots; also shrubs. Nurserymen and land-
scape gardeners report good Fall busi-
ness. The many new houses built this
season should increase the demand ma-
terially for stock in this line for Fall and
Spring.

The trade had as a visitor last week,
Mr. Felton, who is making his first trip
through here for the Deuver Wholesale
Florists Co. He reports a good pickup in
business all along the line. This firm has
recently added a florist supply line to
their cut flower business.

The regular meeting of the Spokane
Florists Club was held at Rockaway Cafe,
Nov. 7 with full attendance. Several mat-
ters of interest were discussed, one namely
the printing of death notices by the local
papers which has been discontinued. A
committee was appointed to see what can
be done toward. having these appear daily.
The papers are now making a charge for
these notices.

The Growers Committee reported all in
favor of continuing the advertising. The
Advertising Committees are to make a
personal canvass of all retail stores to
see if the majority will not continue so
that a holiday advertising campaign may
be gotten under way.

F. R. McCormick of Post Falls and
Jack Burt have just returned from an
auto trip to Portland and Seattle visiting
the florists en route. They were much
pleased with their reception in Seattle
being taken in hand by Mr. Rosaia, with
whom they visited the different growing
establishments and enjoyed a trip about
the city.

Stock for the holidays is in fine con-
dition at H. L. Olssons. Peppers and
Poinsettia are exceptionally fine. Roses
are in fair crop and healthier plants
could not be found. There is an air of
neatness throughout the whole place
which is a pleasure to find in any large
growing establishment. New boilers of
increased heating capacity were installed
here this Summer.

Minnehaha Floral Co. is cutting choice
stock in Pink and White Chieftain, which
find a ready sale. Other stock which this
firm grows a variety of, is looking fine,
especially Cyclamen plants.

Miss Frances Cross has resigned her
position with the Crescent Flower Shop
and taken a position with Davenport
Flower Shop.

Bernson & Halla, Sweet Pea growers,
have one house well started which prom-
ises to come in crop for the holidays.
They are running the rows north and
south with hopes of better production
during dark weather. In planting this
way, one row does uot shade another.
They report shipping business on the in-
crease. George F. Skinner.

Trade Notes

Nov. 8. — The Chrysanthemum is
the reigning flower; Roses, Carnations and
such like all step aside to make way for
the 'Mum. Although so plentiful, there
is every possibility that the situation will
be handled without a glut. The cause of
the present oversupply is due, once again,
to the ubiquitous Jap. Japanese growers
in this city and vicinity are, in the pro-
portion of 86 Japs to 14 white growers;
all the former are endeavoring to produce
'Mums, though few of them successfully,

the majority falling down on correct tim-
ing and proper bud taking. Result is a
heavy crop of 'Mums which are perfectly
salable, but of small size and second-
rate quality. This matters little to the
wily Jap, as he grows to sell and will do
so regardless of price, which usually is
one-fourth of that asked by the white
grower. By diplomatic action, Bryan
Hammond of the local wholesale house,
has, through the Japanese Growers Asso-
ciation, arranged to handle the whole
output of their growers.

By a stroke of good luck, the Chrysan-
themum show of the Seattle Florists As-
sociation has been fixed for Nov. 14, 15
and 16, while the annual exhibition of
the Pacific Northwest Fruit Industry also
runs for ten days, commencing Saturday,
Nov. 11, at which the local growers will
furnish exhibits of 'Mums and other
plants, local retailers taking charge of the
staging and furnishing a person to take
charge during the exhibition. As up to
75,000 people are expected to pass the
turnstiles, this should be good advertising
for local florists. The influx of visitors
is also looked to, to provide an outlet for
the heavy supply of Mums, a special price
having been arranged, which will allow
the disposal of the Jap grown 'Mum to
the public at a lower rate than asked for
the high quality blooms in the various
flower shops.

At B. E. Hammond Co.'s store, Gladioli
of good quality were still obtainable on
Monday last. This firm reports shipping
of 'Mums in large quantities to mid-
western points.

Melby's Flower Shop has been awarded
a contract to supply 1000 corsages made
up in the colors of the University of
Washington, consisting of a Yellow
Turner 'Mum, with a W in purple and a
border of Violets and Adiantum for the
California vs. Washington University foot-
ball game on Armistice Day.

Dr. Walter Moore, president of the
local florists association, is attending the
Pacific International Livestock Exposi-
tion at Portland, Ore. The genial presi-
dent, in addition to his love for things
horticultural, is also greatly interested in
the Holstein cows for which the Holly-
wood Farm is famous.

The Woodlawn Flower Store is stimu-
lating interest in various Dutch bulbs, by
a large exhibit in their Union st. windows
of bulbs growing in glasses. Window cards
with various wording, such as "Watch
'em Grow," "Watch Our Care of Them,"
and so forth, are displayed. This firm car-
ried out the elegant decorations at the
fashionable Swezea wedding at Tacoma
last week.

The first local grown Winter flowering
Sweet Peas were noticed in the Woodlawn
Flower Shop on Monday last.

P. F. Rosaia, accompanied by MeGruder
Beall, the Vashon Island grower, and Joe
Ghiralducci, the California Florist, of
Tacoma, Wash., left by auto on Friday
last for a business trip to various points
in California.

McCoys are receiving very fine pot
grown bronze and yellow Pompons and
Adiantums from Bealls' Greenhouses,
Vashon Island.

Gene Sandahl and Fred Winters of ij
the local florists' association have been
awarded the contract in equal shares for i
the Christmas decoration of the city
business streets. The contract calls for
the placing in 24 hours of 30,000ft., nearly
six miles, of evergreen festooning from
lamp post to lamp post, a Fir tree at
every lamp post on the route, and ever- ,
green wreaths suspended overhead in the
center of the street to the number of sev-
eral thousand. All this to encourage early
Christmas shopping.

Florists Meeting

The monthly meeting of the Seattle
Florists Association was held at the St.
Regis Cafe on Monday, Nov. 6, the date
having been advanced a week to avoid
clashing with the Chrysanthemum Show. 1
Vice-President Harry Crouch presided.
After usual routine business Harry
Crouch gave an interesting talk on "The
Cost of Operating a Retail Store." This
data, which was itemized on the black-
board, was the actual results of three
years operation of the Woodlawn Flower
Shop, as shown by the books. Taking 100
as his basis, the speaker gave the follow- j
ing itemized percentage of cost: Flowers, j
57 per cent; supplies (as ribbons, crepe,
etc.), 4 per cent; boxes, paper and pack-
ing, 1% per cent; salaries, 16 per cent;

The Florists Exchange

delivery, carfare, 5 per cent; commission
and advertising, 1% per cent; rent, 5 per
cent; repairs, replacements and window
trimming, 1 per cent; ice, lights, 1% per
cent; office upkeep, stationery, bad debts
and donations, 4% per cent; depreciation
on fixtures, 2 per cent.

He pointed out that salaries and rent
might be higher or lower, according to lo-
cation, and class of help employed. He
also drew attention to the pernicious cus-
tom of commissions to undertakers and
others and placed the system on a lower
level than canvassing. With such a heavy
overhead expense, it was figured that the
only way by which the buying public
could obtain cheaper flowers is by cheaper
production by the growers.

During the debate which followed this
latter point was warmly disputed by Tom
Wylie. Gene Sandahl, Felix Rosaia, B. E.
Hammond and Geo. Cooper also took part
in the debate, which, through one speaker
having the temerity to openly advocate
the purchase of California stock in prefer-
ence to that produced at home, and also
advocating the support of and dealings
with Japanese growers, waxed hot and
furious. Owing to the lack of time the
growers' side of the question, cost of
production, was not presented, but will
be at the next meeting. Such free and
above board talk should let off a lot of
superfluous steam, should clear the way
for better understanding and result in
much good to both grower and retailer,
and also may we hope, to our patrons.

Your scribe had the pleasure of meeting
and having a nice talk with J. Cyril Gor-
man of the Lord & Burnham Co., Irving-
ton, New York, who is in Seattle for a
few days on a business trip. Mr. Gor-
man expressed himself as amazed at the
hold which the Japanese have on trade
on this Coast, and thought conditions in
California are far worse than here. He
also drew attention to the poor type of
greenhouse used by them, and their gen-
eral low class of living, which enables
them to so easily undersell American mem
bers of the profession. Geo. Cooper.

Fine Weather Prevails

Nov. 4. — The first killing frost in
this locality is expected about Oct. 26.
■followed for a week or two by dark, chilly
weather. This season, however, our first
killing frost was Oct. 13 and several
nights following; since then we have had
moderate temperature and plenty of sun
shine.

Dahlias are still to be had from the
open; Chrysanthemums are in full swing.
Roses and Carnations are in good sup^
ply; the bright weather is just the thing
to help them along, storing vitality for
later in the season.

Funeral work keeps the florists busy
and other demands for flowers help to
make a satisfactory showing for the
week.

Big Show in Progress

The big event this week is the
Fifth Annual Flower Show held Nov. 15,
16 and 17 in the City Auditorium under
the auspices of the Denver Society of Or-
namental Horticulturists, the Garden
Club and the florists of Denver. Adam
Kohankie is chairman and E. P. Neiman
of the Park Floral Co., secretary of the
committee in charge.

Great interest has been shown in the
preparations for the show, a record num-
ber of competitive entries and applica-
tions for trade exhibit space insuring an
event of paramount interest. The city
authorities having tendered the use of the
auditorium free of charge, it has not been

necessary to charge an admission fee.

A special feature has been the dis-
play of novelties in Roses, Carnations and
Chrysanthemums. Splendid weather con-
ditions have resulted in the growing of
exceptionally fine stock the past Sum-
mer. Ten special trophies have been of-
fered in addition to the large list of
general prizes.

Local designers have given interesting
demonstrations in madeup floral work; a
musical program, including organ recitals
and orchestral numbers for dancing have
attracted many; and a ban on the use of
artificial flowers has augmented the ef-
fective use of natural materials.

Plans for the week included a mass
meeting of Colorado florists for the pur-
pose of organizing an association to work
in conjunction with the S. A. F. and F.
T. D. A. The results of this meeting
will be reported shortly.

The name of the Boldt-Lundy House of

Hohmann House of Flowers, Sam Lundy
having sold his interests to L. B. Hoh-
mann, who had been employed by Boldt-
Lundy for a number of years. Earnest
Florey of the Columbine Floral Co. has
been seriously ill with peritonitis; gan-
grene, having followed an operation for
appendicitus, but is now out of danger
and will recover.

Premier and Legion are the best Roses
appearing on the Denver market this sea-
son. First class Sweet Peas are now on
the market and will continue throughout
the season. More and better quality
Sweet Peas are being produced in Denver
each year. Walter Barth is now planning
to build in the near future two large
houses for the growing of this popular
flower. N. H. Neiman.

Nov. 12. — The largest flower show in
the history of Minnesota is running this
week at the Minneapolis Armory. The
armory is beautifully decorated with
Smilax, which forms a bell shape over
the main floor. Here are placed on dis-
play many groups of palms, ferns, Chrys-
anthemums, Christmas Cherries and Be-
gonias. In the armory annex is a sunken
garden, beautifully arranged by the Min-
neapolis Park Board of Commissioners,
with electric fountain by A. L. Randall
Co., Chicago. Around the garden are ex-
hibits of nursery stock, all well arranged.
E. C. Amling Co., Chicago: E. G. Hill,
Richmond, Ind.; and Pollworth Bros.,
Milwaukee are out of town exhibitors.

Visiting florists were guests of honor
at a banquet, given by the Flower Festival
Committee, at Donaldson's Tea Rooms, on
Monday. Addresses were made by Phillip
Breitmeyer of Detroit; W. J. Smith, Chi-
cago, J. J. Hess, Omaha; and W. L. Rock,
Kansas City; all served as judges at the
festival.

The show certainly reflects credit on the

Florists, horticulturists and scientists
generally are investigating the succession
of curious growing and meteorological con-
ditions obtaining in the Ohio Valley at
this time and its effect on the trees,
plants and flowers. Last Sunday the ther-
mometer registered 72 degs. in the fore-
noon and all Nature is being hoodwinked

by the peculiar phenomena. Early , Ma-
ples are commencing to bud; Spring
Strawberries are blooming and bearing;
Violets and Anemones are putting forth
flowers and at the same time florists are
continuing to cut midseason flowers such
as Dahlias, Delphinium, Coxcomb, Zin-
nias, Feverfew in addition to their early
and late Chrysanthemums. John Uri
Lloyd, scientist, author and noted observ-
er of conditions for the past 70 years,
says the season has not been duplicated
since the Fall of 1862 when General
James Kirby Smith made his celebrated
raid, threatening Cincinnati. He says

that he has observed that shrubs and Nar-
cissus are showing signs of activity and
that if warm weather continues, there
will be blooming plants during the Christ-
mas holidays. Such a thing has not been
known here in more than 30 years. Prof.
Lloyd attributes the unusual conditions
to the winds from the Gulf Stream, which,
he says, have a tendency to moderate the
temperatures and probably keep the val-
ley dry and warm. The conditions are
disastrous to florists for they are unable
to control growing of plants for market
at regular seasons. Everything is coming
on the market at once causing one con-
tinuous glut of the merchandise.

The Market

Nov. 14. — A welcome change for
the better has come over the market
within the last few days especially as
far as Roses are concerned. Wintry
weather makes for better trade always
and the cool days and really cold nights
of late seem to have induced a much bet-
ter demand for flowers, so that it is now
possible to find outlets for the still large
arrivals of Chrysanthemums without un-
seemly trouble. Social affairs, together
with an unusual number of coming-out
parties, are calling for many flowers of
the better grades and keeping the retail
stores busy ; in addition there are many
important funeral orders. The scare of
a week ago is about forgotten in the
hope of steadily increasing business and
with Thanksgiving Day right before the
door.

Roses have recovered much lost ground

compared with a week ago. Not that

present priops are anything to brag

about yet, but they are, at least, getting

I near normal. Arrivals are not too heavy

I and a fair demand takes care of all good

! stock. There is one exception, namely

I whites, which are finding hard sledding

and which have to be sold at whatever

I they may bring, in a good many trades.

j American Beauty are in better demand

j than they have been for a long time.

Other varieties have advanced appre-

! ciably in the short lengths, less so in

j others. Crusader is rather more favored

| than Hadley, while Columbia, Premier,

• Pilgrim, Russell and Ophelia come in

i the order mentioned. Madame Butterfly

j is always in steady demand and is pre-

| ferred to Ward, of which there is at

present nothing much to be had over

I eight inches. Milady, Scott Key and

Shawyer are practically out of the mar-

' ket and are not grown near Boston.

Carnations, also, have recovered from
the slump. They are nearing Midwinter
| quality and find many takers, which
j makes it fairly easy to dispose of the not
too large supply. While low grade stock
sells for as little as 2c, good, fresh flow-
ers bring 3c. and even 4c. for ordinary
varieties. Picked stock of such as Nata-
j lie, Ward and T. C. Joy realize 5c, while
■. Laddie, Maine Sunshine, Golddust and
Surprise come a cent or more higher.
'■ There is an oversupply of Morning Glow,
caused, no doubt, by indiscriminate over-
planting, so that this excellent variety
; has to suffer as far as price is con-
! cerned and clearance sales often bring
i very low figures. On account of the
great popularity of Morning Glow, its
, easy culture and its productiveness,
many growers have planted quite heav
ily, some even to the exclusion of every
other variety ; so it looks as if Morning
Glow might become a drag on the mar-
ket quite frequently during the Winter.

Chrysanthemums, as might be expected,
' are at the height of their season but,
even so, the demand is taking care of
most of the supply, since the public has
again become accustomed to its old time
favorites. There is a great choice of va-
rieties, among which Pink Perfection
stands out as the one most easily dis-
posed of. Rager, among the whites and
Bonnaffon among the yellows, are first
choice when it comes to selling in quan-
tity and, the Lord knows, there is any
quantity of them in evidence. For the
Princeton-Harvard football game, a lim-
ited supply of Shrimpton was on hand,
but not all were sold. Extra well-grown
and choice varieties bring a price well
above the common sorts but, on the
whole, the price for Chrysanthemums
keeps at a fairly satisfactory level.
Pompons, Singles and Anemones are of-
fered in bewildering variety and in large
quantities. Pink and bronze Bucking-
ham, white and yellow Mensa, white and
.pink Doty, Mrs. Wilcox, Golden West
and a few other oldtimers are leaders
and the returns for these small-flowered
Chrysanthemums are certainly holding
their own surprisingly well, considering
the avalanche which is pouring into the
market.

Sweet Peas are now becoming plenti-
ful enough to depress the price some-
what and to make it a little of a puzzle
to dispose of them from day to day. The
quality is greatly improved as against a

month ago and some very good Peas are
to be had.

Violets promise to be a scarce article
for some time to come, if not all through
the Winter. Many growers have given
them up entirely, on account of the low
prices during the last two or three sea-
sons. Pansies are offered in small lots
but are sufficient for a limited demand.
Some rather fine Calendulas are coming
in. They, together with yellow Mar-
guerites, do not find many takers, nor
will they as long as small yellow 'Mums
are to be had.

Very few white Lilies and Callas and
only scattered lots of Bouvardias are to
be seen. Bachelor Buttons are in fair
supply and find some buyers.

Oattleyas have met with a good de-
mand, and are plentiful enough for all
purposes. Lily of the Valley, which is
much used, is very good, and sells for
about 8c

There is enough of all sorts of greens,
red berries and ferns.

Important Notice

The Cleveland Florists Club will
hold a motor jaunt and outing on Thurs-
day afternoon, Nov. 23. A post card no-
tice will be send to all members, but be
sure and hold the date open as an excel-
lent program has been outlined by Jim
Wilson, chairman of the entertainment
committee and President Witthuhn
promises a pleasant evening out in his
bailiwick.

Cleveland, 0.

The Market

Unusually warm November weath-
er has advanced the season and late varie-
ties of Chrysanthemums having crowded
in, the price on this majestic Fall flower
has broken. Excellent stock is to be had
in quantity lots and Pompons are in tre-
mendous supply. Anemone, Singles and
many varieties of fancy 'Mums lend a
great range of color to the supply.

Roses are also plentiful and Carnations
show the effects of the warm weather.
Violets are not good, keeping qualities
being lacking. Snapdragon is arriving in
better shape, but there is little demand
for it. Valley is stronger, but a lower
price is being realized on good stock.
There are a few Sweet Peas, but their
presence has scarcely been felt. Easter
Lilies are excellent.

Greens are normal with Adiantum show-
ing vast improvement. Plants sell well
and Begonias are more plentiful. Cycla-
men have improved greatly and 'Mum
plants, though mostly tall, are better than
usual.

Cleveland Florists Club Plans

Previous to the meeting of the Cleve-
land Florists Club on Nov. 6 there gath-
ered at the solicitation of President-elect
Witthuhn, a party of what might be
termed "The Old Guard." Round the din-
ner table at the Hollenden were faces
that have not been seen at club meetings
for many a moon. It is a good sign and
a good thing for the club that these old
timers who "made" it should have their
interest revived, and Mr. Witthuhn has
taken a step in the right direction in
getting back the members who put Cleve-
land on the map horticulturally. They
are the men who fathered and conceived
the idea of cooperative advertising, who
put on the good flower shows in the arm-
ories and at .the Coliseum, and who made
the Cleveland Florists Club the most en-
vied of all florists associations throughout
the country.

Membership drive results are all right
in point of members, but it is the work-
ers who are needed. A member who joins
under pressure and who never attends the
meetings is not an asset to any organi-
zation; but men of action who put life
and impetus into the club are the ones
who should be given the work of reorgan-
ization. It is therefore fitting that
the committees for the ensuing year

The New President's Message

Mr. Witthuhn's elevation to the
presidency of the Cleveland Florists
Club has already proved beneficial. The
cliques are disappearing and organization
along methodical business lines has be-
gun. This, together with the untiring ef-
forts of the president, means success and
the Florists Club forecasts a wonderful
year. In his speech of acceptance, Mr.
Witthuhn said:

"Most of you have, nd doubt, exper-
ienced that feeling of unrest upon the
receipt of a cablegram and I assure you
that when on Oct. 1 while on a farewell
visit to my sister in Germany I found a
cablegram for me, I certainly felt not
only surprised but, candidly, a bit shaky.
Upon reading it and seeing it was news
from Cleveland telling me of my election
and of the honor conferred on me, and
realizing the young and able men the club
possesses I admit I did not know whether
it was a joke or a reality.

"Now that I am here I thank you
heartily for the honor conferred on me.
My ambition and aspirations never ran
in these channels, but permit me to take
this opportunity to assure you that re-
gardless of my shortcomings I will try to
do everything possible to follow the inter-
ests of the club. And I ask the assistance
of each and every member in cooperating
with me to put the Cleveland Florists
Club in the front ranks."

Various Notes

Mrs. F. C. Zeichmann recently re-
turned from a pleasure trip to Germany,
Switzerland and Austria. She attended
the Fall Flower Festival in Berlin. She
found the Chrysanthemum season far ad-
vanced with Thanksgiving varieties in
bloom a month ago.

Conditions there are severe for the
middle classes and the fall in the value
of the mark leads to extravagant spend-
ing, the principal desire being to get rid
of the paper before it sinks further in
value. Candy factories find the mark
cheaper than paper to wrap their wares
in.

Jim Wilson has been appointed receiver
for the Fox Greenhouses (Homer Fox,
proprietor) and began his duties on Nov.
10. Two benches of Yellow Turners ex-
ceptionally well grown, and some excellent
plants of Will's Late Pink are ready for
the market at this establishment.

Two new motor trucks appeared on the
street last week. Jones-Russell Co. put
out a Stewart and Temblett a Dodge of
unusual beauty. The Temblett car has a
frame on either side in which are inserted
at intervals water proofed cards in very
colorful shades, carrying F. T. D. mes-
sages and slogans, advising the public as
to where and what to buy. It is a unique
and forceful moving billboard.

Eduart Sargent, lately with the Park
Floral Co. and the Cleveland MacCallum
Co., has opened a retail store on Lor-
raine ave.

Memphis, Tenn. — E. J. Seaton is com-
pleting arrangements for the opening of
a new flower shop at 1277 Madison ave.

The Market

Nov. 14. — It would be, we think, a
fair statement of the present conditions,,
and those which have prevailed for some
little time in the wholesale cut flower
market, to say that the demand for cut
flowers during this period, daily, is from
medium to large but, unfortunately, on
none of these days sufficient to absorb the
rather heavy arrivafs. Or, to put it an-
other way, the supply and demand are
not well balanced, and until they are,
there are sure to be left-over flowers, to
be sold at sacrifice prices. We might
cite one or two items of stock which are
not included in this statement and which/
show the effect upon the cut flower mar-
ket when the demand is fully up to the
supply. Here are two items — Gardenias
are in rather short supply and have been
for some time. The demand easily ab-
sorbs these, consequently prices range
from $3 to $6 per doz. Cattleyas this
week are in extremely short supply, and
there are not enough arriving to satisfy
the demand, consequently, they are sell-
ing at $1 to $2 each. On the other hand,
the arrivals of Roses are larger than the
demand for them during this, the Chrys-
anthemum season, consequently, No. 2
grade blooms are selling in general from^
$1.50 to $2 a 100, and specials at $8
to $10. On Wednesday and Thursday
of last week there was a slow market;
on Friday there was a fairly good de-
mand. Saturday and Monday were both-
disappointing to the wholesalers, and to-
day, Tuesday, the demand is not absorb-
ing the supply, except in a few instances.

American Beauty and other Roses are
in medium to large supply. All are mov-
ing out slowly, Beauty at 2c. to 50c. each,
covers all grades. No. 2 grade blooms of
Roses are selling at $1.50 to $2, and in
cases of preferred varieties, $3 to $4 per
100. Top grades in general are bringing
8c, 10c and 12c each, but Crusader and
Hadley of that grade are realizing 20c.
and Key 30c to 35c

Carnations are in moderately large sup-
ply and are going out rather slowly at
$1.50 to $4 per 100, with occasional sales
of choice blooms of preferred varieties
at $5.

Cattleyas are in extremely small sup-
ply, a condition which is not uncommon
just at this season of the year. There is
a moderate supply of Cypripediums sell-
ing at $3 to $4 per doz. These are most-
ly of the choicer varieties, very few of the
old variety, Insigne being seen. The
medium supply of Lily of the Valley is
moving very sluggishly at $1 to $5, and
in occasional sales of extra choice, $6
per 100. White Lilies are not moving as
well as last week, and the same is true
of the moderate supply of rubrum Lilies.
The former are selling at about $15, and
the latter at $5 to $15 per 100.

'Mums continue to be the leading flow-
er in the market. The supply is very
abundant and sales are large, but never
any day large enough to clean up the
market. There are altogether too many
of the large flowered bronze varieties
now coming in. The demand for these
is small as compared with that for those
of other colors. The general range of
prices is from 60c for small inferior
blooms up to $4 per doz. There are rela-
tively small sales of extra choice blooms
of preferred colors and varieties at $5
to $7.50 per doz. Bunch 'Mums are in
abundant supply and are selling at 20c
to 75c per bunch, the size of bunch rath-
er than quality alone governing the price.

Other flowers now in the market are
Bouvardia at $1 to $1.25 per bunch; Callas
at $2 a doz.; Paperwhite Narcissus at
75c to $1 per bunch. Antirrhinum at
50c. to $1.50 and occasionally $2 per-
bunch. The increased supply of Sweet
Peas- is moving out sluggishly at 50c to
$1.50 and occasionally $2 a 100, and the
extremely small supply of both double
and single Violets is easily moved at $1.50
for the former and $1.25 for the latter
per 100.

All greens, both indoor grown and
hardy, appear to be in ample supply and
are meeting with a demand in general
keeping with the present arrivals and'
conditions in the cut flower market.

BROOKLYN, N. Y.

New York — Continued from page 1369

We suspect that our printer's "devil"
is a Republican and that the election
results made him mad at everything as
we were sending last week's issue to press
on the Wednesday. We can only lay the
blame to nim for the mixup in a para-
graph in this column (page 1251) telling
of the annual hunting trip of Roman J.
Irwin and Wallace R. Pierson. The clos-
ing part ot the paragraph referred to
should have read: "the results of the
chase were three moose and eight deer
and plenty of partridge. The members of
the party report that game was plentiful
and that all had an enjoyable time."

Armistice Day

_ Armistice Day eve was celebrated
in this city by many festive occasions,
emphasizing the idea that this is a day
of rejoicing and not of mourning. There
was a Victory ball of the American Leg-
ion at the Waldorf-Astoria, an Armistice
ball at Clover Gardens under the auspices
of the American Woman's Association, a
dance at the Plaza Hotel under the spon-
sorship of the Soldiers and Sailors Club,
and an armistice ball at Hotel Pennsyl-
vania under the auspices of the Missouri
Woman's Club of New York City. These
were only some of the larger festive func-
tions.

On Armistice Day, Nov. 11, which was
the fourth anniversary of the signing of
the Armistice, the Cotton Exchange was
closed all day. At the suggestion of the
League of Remembrance there was a two-
minute interval of silence at 11 a.m., and
at the suggestion of Alvin Owsley, Na-
tional Commander of the American Leg-
ion, in a message to the Legion Post,
there was a moment of prayer and thanks-
giving at 11 a.m. A tablet in memory
of the war dead of the 106th Infantry
was unveiled at the 23d Regiment Arm-
ory, Brooklyn. Servicesc were conducted
at Trinity Church, the address being given
by Bishop Manning, and a similar service
was given in the Cathedral of St. John
the Divine. Services were also conducted
by the 37th Infantry Post of the Ameri-
can Legion at the Brick Presbyterian
Church. Branches of the Y. M. H. A.
observed the day with solemn services.

The Red Cross started its annual roll
call. "A No More War" meeting was held
at the Engineering Societies Bldg., and
in the evening the Jefferson Post of the
American Legion gave a ball at the Hotel
Astor for the benefit of the sick and dis-
abled veterans of the First Division; Gen-
eral Pershing, Sir Thomas Lipton and Lt.

Col. Theodore Roosevelt being among the
guests. It would certainly, appear, in
view of these numerous festive occasions
and memorial services, that New York at
least is not forgetting the joy which the
signing of the Armistice, which ended the
great World War, brought not only to
the hearts of its people, but also to those
of the nation and of the world.

Meeting of the National Publicity
Committee

There was an important meeting of sev-
eral members of the National Publicity
Committee at S. A. F. Administrative
Headquarters, 43 W. 18th St., on Monday,
Nov. 13. There were present throughout
the meeting S. S. Pennock, president of
the S. A. F., Philadelphia, Pa.; Major
P. F. O'Keefe, Boston, Mass.; Secretary
John Young, and Mark P. Mills, Phila-
delphia. There were also present during
part of this meeting, W. K. Harris, Jr.,
and Charles Ross of Philadelphia, and A.
Farenwald, Roslyn, Pa.

Among; the Retailers

Calling on Malandre Bros, recent-
ly, Broadway at 72d St., we noticed on
display in the store window some ex-
tremely pretty and unusual floral ar-
rangements in low rectangular shaped
baskets with low handles and in several
shades of blue. In these arrangements
the smaller pretty and less seen flowers
were almost altogether used, such as Di-
discus, commonly called Blue Lace flower,
Anemones, French Marigolds, Yellow Cy-
pripediums and small single Chrysanthe-
mums in shades to harmonize with the
color of the other flowers. In direct con-
trast with these basket arrangements
there was a massing of the large flowered
Chrysanthemum in vases, splendid blooms
of white, yellow and pink (we are almost
in mind to say lavender) Turners. Ma-
landre Bros., during our pleasant call,
reported that business was good in steam-
er orders, weddings and funerals, and es-
pecially in F. T. D. orders. There are,
as everyone in the florist business in New
York knows, three of the Malandre broth-
ers actively engaged in the retail flower
business carried on under the name of
Malandre Bros. The personal attention,
consequently, which they have been able
in the past, and are at present able to
give on all orders, has done much to
contribute to their substantial and grow-
ing success in the retail flower business.
We have no need to tell those who are
well acquainted with the retail flower

stores of New York City, that Henry
Hart, Madison ave., at 78th st., has a
beautiful and always well kept store, fully
furnished with the best flowers that the
market affords and that the conservatory
attached to the store is always well filled
with decorative plants such as a retail
florist is not ashamed to offer his custom-
ers or to use in the execution of floral dec-
orations. Mr. Hart, during our call, told
us that October business was quite satis-
factory, November also up to date. He
has been busy with weddings, steamer or-
ders, etc. We noted during our call a
well arranged window in which the lead-
ing feature was the newest varieties of
Chrysanthemums, especially of the Single
and Anemone types.

David Clarke's Sons, 2139-2141 Broad-
way, report a good October business, dur-
ing which they have executed orders for
a number of weddings; November has
opened well and they have a number of
orders booked for November and Decem-
ber weddings. They had the decorations
for an elaborate church wedding at St.
Thomas Church on Wednesday of last
week, and on Friday of that week they
executed family orders for floral designs
for the funeral of the late Geo. T. Mont-
gomery; included in this order was a
blanket of pink Roses edged with Sweet
Peas.

M. A. Bowe, 332 Fifth ave., made
last week, to the order of the National
League of Baseball Clubs, 40th St., a
standing wreath 8ft. high for the funeral
of the late Morgan G. Bulkeley of Hart-
ford, Conn., who died Nov. 6 in his 85th
year. Mr. Bulkeley in 1876 took an active
interest in baseball and was the first
president of the League. The wreath it-
self was made largely of orchids, Lily of
the Valley and Ophelia Roses, the base
of Chrysanthemums and greens.

J. P. Gilbanks, Inc., operating a florist
establishment at 50 Broadway, is plan-
ning to open a similar store at 120 Liberty
St., about Nov. 18.

Thos. F. Galvin, Inc., report business
good the past week. They are keeping
up to their standard and if it is in the
market they have it. Some fine Cycla-
men were on display this week. John J.
Kelly of their staff was away on Wednes-
day attending the wedding of his brother
who married a young lady in our trade,
Miss Grace Durkin of the Fenrich office
staff.

Max Schling, 785 Fifth ave., reports a
steady large run of business, including
wedding and steamer orders and funerals.
On Thursday of last week he executed
an order for 140 corsage bouquets for one
luncheon, and 40 for another. On the
same day he had a large wedding decora-
tion, and another on the day before, Wed-
nesday. Mr. Schling says that in his
circularizing he is trying to give such a
turn to the business that it will be on
a more reasonable and better basis. He
is pushing the sale of plants and bulbs,
as well as cut flowers. In his advertis-
ing for the holidays he is trying to give
such a direction to the business that the
florists who receive F. T. D. orders in the
towns of moderate size are able to care
for such orders with the stock which they
can really be expected to have.

Edward McCarthy, manager for James
Weir, Inc., 324 Fulton St., Brooklyn, says
that November business is excellent; F.
T. D. and funeral orders just now are
the chief features.

Robert A. Clifford, manager for J. G.
Leikins, Inc., Madison ave., at 55th St.,
reports that after the best Summer they
ever had in Newport, R. I., during
which they furnished the decorations for
many large functions, including those
for the big Aspegren Ball, one of the
largest events ever held in that city, they
have come back to a good October and
November business in the city. Frank
Purcell and Charles Kaiser, as well as
their other three Newport men, are also
back in the city, and are needed in the
execution of many orders now coming in.
Last week they had the Osborne-Coogan
house and church wedding, and the Burn-
ham Gray-Budd wedding. Also, the wed-
ding of Miss Oppenheim, daughter of Mr.
Oppenheim, of Oppenheim & Collins. They
also had the order for a casket cover of
orchids for Wm. A. Burnham, who was
buried in Cambridge, Mass. Speaking of
Newport, Mr. Clifford tells us that their
system of motorcycle instead of automo-
bile delivery this Summer proved to be
a great success.

Calling at Kottmiller's, Madison ave.,
at 49th st., this week, we missed the

We called at Burns, 509 Madison ave.
just in time this week to learn from Jamei
Condy, the manager, about the large flo
ral decoration which they are executing
this week. These decorations were foi
the annual horse show held at the Squad
ron A Armory, 94th st. and Madison ave.

Ivies in wallpoekets, etc. The whole regu-
lar store force of employees, and many
extra men have been working night and
day_ to set up these decorations. Burns,
as is well known, has had the annual
horse show floral decoration order for
several years, both when it was held at
Madison Square Garden, and when, as
last year for the first time, it was at
the Squadron A Armory.

At the Rosary, Park ave., at 55th St.,
when calling we found H. Carl Holpp, the
manager, out on business, but were agree-
ably entertained by Joseph Barnitt, Jr.,
well known to the trade. He tells us that
■the October and November, business has
been reasonably good and the leading fea-
tures have been Autumn weddings, steam-
er orders and some large funeral orders.

Among the Wholesalers

We noted recently a fine lot of
Pompon 'Mums from the E. W Fengar es-
tate, Irvington, N. J., at J. S. Fenrich's,
43 W. 18th st., also Sweet Peas of more
than ordinarily fine quality and some
really good double Violets.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. 146 West 18th
st. have recently taken over the adja-
cent store west of their present quarters
and will use this as a showroom. This
firm is offering a large line of goods with
the imprint "Say It with Flowers." Some
•of the items in this line are was and
wrapping papers and sign posts. Harry
Reinach is covering the city, Long Island
■and part of Connecticut with his Dodge
■car, calling on the retail florists. Twice
■each week a Pierce-Arrow 2y2 ton truck
is bringing florists supplies from the Bav-
•ersdorfer factories in Philadelphia. H.
Bayersdorfer himself comes over from
Philadelphia frequently and views with
a broad smile the increase of business at
the New York store. A large variety of
natural grasses in many shades of color
are npw coming in, and the store is full

of standard goods and novelties in flo-
rists supplies. It keeps Manager Sam
Seligman and his whole store force busy
handling the orders.

James Rutig & Co. who, by the way,
seem to be going after business with much
enthusiasm, have now become members
of that substantial body known as the
Wholesale Cut Flower Protective Asso-
ciation of New York City. This seems to
us to be a wise step for this new firm to
take, and we believe that they will find
their connection with this association a
help and protection to them in their
business.

We regret to learn that Frank H.
Traendly of Traendly & Schenck, 436
6th ave., has been confined to his home
in Brooklyn since last week. Mr.
Traendly is suffering from an unusually
heavy cold and an attack of inflamma-
tory rheumatism. His many friends in
the trade hope that he will be able to be
about again soon, as he is certainly
missed, being one of the most prominent
men in the wholesale flower business in
New York City in the promotion and sup-
port of everything which is for the ben-
fit of the trade.

This is the season for 'Mums and to
say that a wholesaler has 'Mums is cer-
tainly no news. We could not, however,
help but take a second look this week
at the fine large blooms of the varieties
Golden Chadwick, Chadwick Supreme and
W. H. Chadwick and Golden Summer
'Mums from A. N. Pierson, Inc., Crom-
well, Conn., and the Yellow and White
Turner from E. Stein, Warren Point, N.
J., at Henshaw Floral Co. It looks to
us when calling at the retail stores as
if the better varieties of Single, Ane-
mone and Pompons were increasing in
popularity. We saw this week a large
assortment of these of more than ordi-
narily good quality at J. J. Coan's, 43
W. ISth st.

Although Orchids have become scarce, we still have enough to supply
everyone. Labiatas, Hybrids, White Fabias, Oncidiums and
Cypripediums.

Chicago

The Market

Nov. 14. — Considering, that the
Chrysanthemum, season is now at its
high production mark, conditions are quite
favorable. There is a lot of stock to be
moved, and though it requires some ef-
fort there is very little if anything left
unsold. The shipping trade is lively, large
amounts of stock going out daily. The va-
rious flower shows in St. Louis, Nashville,
Term.; Minneapolis, Minn., and Council
Bluffs, la., all required stock from the
Chicago market. Retailers like to stock
up well for these occasions when flowers
are in the limelight.

The supply of Roses, while sufficient for
the demand, is probably the shortest item
in point of supply. The growers have so
timed their crops as to sidestep the high
mark of the Chrysanthemum season. There
is plenty of medium and fancy stock, but
the short stock always so much in de-
mand is considerably behind the call.
Premier is the leader both in demand and
supply. There are a good manv fine Co-
lumbia and Mme. Butterfly and Milady
and Crusader in red. In yellow, Sun-
burst has the market pretty well to itself
there is more white Angelus, Medina and
double white Ilillarney. Prices range all
the way from $5 to §35 per 100.
_ Carnations are plentiful and are sell-
ing for prices rather unsatisfactory to
the producers. It has always been this
way during the Chrysanthemum season,
but the Carnation growers will come into
their own before long. The stock is all
looking good and large crops are in sight
tor Thanksgiving and from then on all
through the holidays. Some have been
selling as low as $1 per 100, with the
best not more than So or .?6 per 100.

The Chrysanthemum supply is at its
highest point for the season and will
remain so far a week or more. All the
midseason sorts are in this week includ-
ing Bonnaffon. There are, of course, sev-
eral good sized crops of later varieties
coming on for Thanksgiving, but with the
passing of the bulk of the midseason va-
rieties the later ones are all readily as-
similated without interference with the

right of way of other stock, especially
Roses and Carnations. Medium blooms at
prices ranging from $2 to $3 per doz. are
selling best. The larger ones that bring
as high as $4 to $5 per doz. are not so
easily moved. There is a lot of small
cheaper stock that is sold for $6 per 100.
There are many Pompons, Anemones and
Singles that meet with a fair demand.
The varieties offered vary so in color and
condition that the price is of wide range,
from 25c. to $1 per bunch.

There are not many Easter Lilies but
quite a few Callas. Sweet Peas are plen-
tiful and are selling well where the qual-
ity is good. Violets are in demand and
there is a good supply some singles reach-
ing here from California as well as the
doubles from the Hudson River section
and the locally grown singles. Violets
from Coast to Coast are therefore in the
offerings of the local dealers. Valley is
in steady demand with no change in
price. There are enough orchids for the
demand. The first of the Paperwhite and
Grand Soleil d'Or Narcissi have appeared.

The market is well supplied with green
goods, including Galas, Boxwood and South-
ern Smilax. The situation as regards fancy
ferns is rather tight and prices have
advanced $4 per 1000. Eastern shippers,
who supply the bulk of the stock to the
Chicago market report the shortest crop
in several seasons. Red Winterberries
from Michigan are coming in and are of
splendid quality being literally covered
with bright berries.

The booking )of advance orders for
Thanksgiving is having attention at most
of the houses. It is believed there will
be an abundance of everything and that
prices will be better in all lines for that
occasion.

Travel Talk, etc.

Representatives from the leading
wholesale houses are attending the vari-
ous shows this week. The E. C. Amling
Co. is represented in St. Paul by John
Michelsen, and at Nashville, Tenn., by
Geo. Mohn. Paul Klingsporn is repre-
senting the Flower Growers at Minne-
apolis.

The Chrysanthemum shows are on at
both the Lincoln Park and the Garfield
Park conservatories. They are attracting
large crowds daily, and for the time being
the grand old 'Mum is having everything
to itself in the world of flowers.

The death of Leo Heumann, well-known
jobber in crepe paper and florist supplies,
is reported in the morning papers.

Fred Lautenschlager reports selling a
Kroesehell boiler while attending the St.
Louis Chrysanthemum show.

-John Poehlmann is representing the
Poehlmann Bros. Co. at the St. Paul
Flower Show; August Poehlmann is in
Nashville, Tenn.

The secretary and executive committee
of the Chicago Florists Club will hold a
meeting, Thursday, to complete all ar-

rangements for the next club outing at
Morton Grove, Dec. 7.

A recount of the votes now going on
may change the results previously an-
nounced as to the election to office of
two members of the trade.

Allan Humason is in St. Paul, attend-
ing the flower show and renewing his ac-
quaintance with the trade in that section.

Chas. Wagner, the well-known South
Side retailer, is spending a week at West
Baden Springs, Ind., which is also called
the "Carlsbad of America."

A very successful Chrysanthemum show
was held by the North Shore Horticul-
tural Society, in Durant Hall, Lake
Forest, on Nov. 11 and 12. J. Ogden
Armour is reported in the local papers
as the winner of 19 prizes.

The Illinois State Florists Association
is mailing a notice to members of an in-
crease in dues from $1 to $3 per year, be-
coming effective Jan. 1, 1923. Life mem-
bership, $10. Plans are already being
made for a large flower show under the
auspices of the association at Danville, in
1923.

C. H. Totty, Madison, N. J., was in the
city, coming here from St. Louis by the
way of Richmond, Ind. He is in charge
of M. C. Wright of the Lord & Burnham
Co., and was the guest of Hans Jepson
of Maywood Saturday at his Chrysan-
themum growing establishments.

Otto Goerisch of the Zeeh & Mann
force, passed the cigars freely Saturday
to visitors at the store. The occasion
was a new boy at his home. He left Sun-
day for the Twin Cities to represent his
house at the Chrysanthemum show now in
progress there.

Peter Pearson, president of the Com-
mercial Flower Growers Association, has
returned from a trip to Richmond and
Indianapolis, Ind., in the interest of the
growers meeting and exhibition Thursday
night. He is promised exhibits for the
meeting of all the new Roses and Carna-
tions grown in these sections.

At a recent meeting of the executive
committee of the Illinois State Nursery-
men's Association here, Jan. 11 and 12
were selected for the next meeting of
the association at the Congress Hotel.
The committee expects this to be the big-
gest and best meeting in the history of
the association. Members who intend to
have exhibits at this meeting, are re-
minded that now is the time to prepare
same before the ground freezes. Jas. A.
Young, the genial secretary, was a speak-
er at a luncheon of the agricultural com-
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce at
the Morrison Hotel; his theme was "Get
the tree planting habit." He said the
American Legion and American Federa-
tion of Labor had endorsed the campaign
begun under the auspices of the Illinois
Nurserymen's Association.

"Cheer Mondays" are going to take the
place of the socalled "Blue Mondays" in
Chicago, according to J. E. Cornelius,
president of the all Chicago Council of
Kiwanis Clubs. This spirit has been
spreading over the city in the last two
weeks and now has been taken up by the
Board of Trade, the Chicago Lodge of
Elks, the Uptown Chicago Association, the
Illinois Automobile Club and many oth-
ers. The plan is for every one to wear
a flower, wear a smile, and be cheerful.
The following resolutions have been
adopted at recent meetings of the various
associations who intend to put this move-
ment over:

"Be It Resolved, By the organization,
that the time worn phrase 'Blue
Monday' be forever stricken from the
vocabulary of our members and that here-
after 'Blue Monday' be known only as
'Cheer Monday,' that all members do and
act only in accordance with the sentiment

of the new name for Monday and make
it a day of cheer, wear a flower, wear a
smile and be cheerful."

Many large business houses are also
taking up the idea and arranging for each
of their employees to "smile and wear a
flower on every Monday."

Robert Newcomb of the Burlington
Willow Ware Shops, Burlington, la.,
spent a few days in the city the past
week. While here, he went to Burlington
to look over the factory and stock, going
thence to St. Louis. A. F. Longren of
the same company, who returned to his
home in Des Plaines, from St. Louis on
account of illness, is reported to be very
much improved in health.

News Notes

The annual "meeting of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society for the

require for the ensuing year, and for the
transaction of such other business as may
be legally presented, will be held at Horti-
cultural Hall, noon, on Nov. 18. The

the polls will be open between the hours

The finest and cleanest Bonnaffon
blooms coming to the Cooperative Market
are received from J. H. Leach & Son of
North Easton, by Jacob C. Cohen. Rose
Perfection, White Chieftain and Roman
Gold are also exceptionally good, and
Jake has no trouble selling these flowers,
even when the market is just as much like
nothing as twice ten subtracted from 20.
The greenhouses of Patten & Co.,
Tewksbury, Mass., comprising 50,000ft.
of glass, are being equipped with a fuel-
oil burning installation, which is expected

fuel oil, thereby making it possible to buy
and store when the market for oil is at
its lowest.

According to certain signs in the Flower
Exchange Market, Winter is already over
before it has begun. Else why do they
sell handsome Pussy Willow before the
leaves are all off the trees and before the
last Rose of Summer has donned its first
fleecy coverlet of snow? Pussy Willows
rightly go with blue birds, Jonquils,
Snowdrops and other harbingers of Spring.
In the market Pussy Willow is offered, t
and good, too, at 50c. a bunch, long before"
most people have started the furnace.
What is more, it sells rather well.

Jerry K. Chandler of Tewksbury would
like nothing better than to have, all
through the Chrysanthemum season, every
Saturday like Nov. 4, when he sold 16,000
sprays of Pompons to the League for the
Prevention of Tuberculosis, which gave
the flowers away to the hospitals on Tu-
berculosis Day. The officers of the league
were so well pleased with their purchase
that they contracted with Mr. Chandler
for next year's supply, which is to con-
sist of 20,000 sprays.

Norris Comley of Burlington was for-
tunate to have a large supply of Violets
for the Harvard-Princeton football game,
which took place at the Stadium at Cam-
bridge, on baturday, Nov. 11. He was
practically the only grower in this sec-
tion able to supply the market, and had
little difficulty in realizing $2.50 per 100.
Mr. Comley manages a very large amount
of glass, and grows, besides Violets, Sweet
Peas, Chrysanthemums and Carnations.
Many of his houses are devoted to Toma-
toes and Cucumbers at certain seasons of
the year. On an average, Mr. Comley
burns between 1200 and 1500 tons of coal
per year, of which amount he has now on
the place over 1000 tons, secured at S9
a ton.

It is quite an advantage to look for your supply of

ROSES

where there is a big supply to draw from. Our supply
consists of the following varieties:

columbia, russell, premier

butterfly, ophelia, golden ophelia

Richmond, Mcdonald

american legion, maybelle, aaron ward

cecile brunner

double white killarney

Quite often during the season, Roses are scarce and
hard to get, and if you depend on us you have a better
assurance that you will be supplied at a time when others
cannot get sufficient flowers to meet the demand.

The supply is mostly in the medium and better grades.

BOXWOOD

Until the Christmas Holidays we will carry a big stock

of Boxwood on hand the same good quality we have had

other years.

We will book your order NOW at a special price, and
hold it for you until you need it.

The Market

Nov. 14. — Prices have firmed since
last week, but at that they are not
specially good. Last week stock was sold,
but mainly at poor prices. Supply is
large enough to meet all demands; just a
little more so. Chrysanthemums lead the
market with quality high and supply
plentiful. Nov. 11 saw a clean-up in
everything but poor Chrysanthemums, so
conditions are improving.

Roses are scarce in the better grades
at the time of writing. Perhaps Frank
Ross' recently reported "breaking of the
Rose market," as it may be called, may
have something to do with this. Prices
are, if changed at all. stronger than last
week. Several growers are going off crop
within a week or two.

Carnations are plentiful and quality
good, with prices about as usual. Cattle-
yas are scarce and demand brisk; they
realize up to $1.50 for large blooms.

Generally, last week was poor at the
start, but cleaned up at low prices Nov.
11. That leaves this week clear for bet-
ter business. Indications are for heavy
shipments of Chrysanthemums and Carna-
tions and a shortening of the Rose supply.

News Notes

Some novelties were noticed at the
Evergreen Supply Co. last week. This
firm has the exclusive State agency for
tropical grass, a foliage which must be

The Small Extra Cost of a Good
Greenhouse

Whatever kind of a greenhouse you build, it costs a certain amount
for the land, the foundation, the labor, the heating system, etc.
The difference between the cost of an inferior greenhouse and a
good one is mainly in the superstructure.

When you build a V-Bar Greenhouse, the slight difference in cost
safeguards your ENTIRE INVESTMENT, besides affording pro-
tection and ideal growing facilities for your valuable plants and
flowers.

.We shall be glad to call upon you and give you
| any information you want regarding Greenhouses
'and Conservatories.

Great Aid in Keeping Records

Your equipment is incomplete without
a standard Recording Thermometer.
Records are an important factor in every
business. Progressive growers who spare
no expense or effort in raising highest
grade stock should use Standard Record-
ing Thermometers and know their great
aid in keeping records of temperatures.
The actuating element of the Standard
Recording Thermometer is of lamina
metal, which, besides being extremely
sensitive to temperature changes, is prac-
tically indestructible. Record charts are
furnished either daily or weekly, and the
whole mechanism is contained in an at-
tractive metal case fitted with lock and
key, which insures the record from being
tampered with.

Will You Speculate or Invest?

When you purchase your next greenhouse will you take a gambler's chance
or will you invest and be sure ? Will you buy a "bargain" just-as-good green-
house which sells on price alone, or will you let quality, workmanship and serv-
ice be the basis of your judgment ?

&<Jtig

GREENHOUSES

are an investment which eliminates every
vestige of a gambler's chance and which
will pay you a steady dividend. Their
quality of material and workmanship,
the service rendered, the low cost of up-
keep and operation are a few of the
merits you will remember long after the
price is forgotten.

There are three types of King Con-
struction: semi-iron (bulletin 40C), pipe
iron (bulletin 38A) and steel frame (bul-
letin 51A). Each type of construction
is meant for a particular purpose. We'll
be glad to tell you about any or all three
types and to send those bulletins in which
you're interested.

CAMPANULA FOR IMMEDIATE SHIPMENT
Our forcing grade.
HOW TO FORCE THEM.
As soon as received, pot them and carry the
plants after that into a frame; they are best off
if they do not freeze, they don't appreciate it.
Up to February they want anything but a warm
house. Leave all the foliage on you can. Hold
the house as near 32 degrees as possible and also
after that time don't subject them to a high
temperature. Lift the plants and heel in a cold
house to be planted out in a solid bed in February,
to be slowly forced into bloom for cut flowers for
late April and during May.

Philadelphia — Continued from 1377

Jack Deutscher has added a new sales-
man to his staff in the person of Louis
Rossow, late of the Robert Craig Co.,
Norwood.

The Philadelphia Growers Cut Flower
Market will be equipped with electricity
Nov. 15, a decided improvement on the
old gas illumination there.

Paperwhite Narcissus has been noticed
for the last fortnight at Eugene Bern-
heimer's and George Aeugle's. Good look-
ing stock, and unusually early. Also at
Berneimer's were some fine Indian Sum-
mer Chrysanthemums, a new variety to
him and us. Bronze in color and decid-
edly effective. George Aeugle had some
fine Timothy Eaton Nov. 13.

Recent visitors to the city include
George B. Rine, Selinsgrove, Pa., and
John Doughty, Port Alleghany, N. Y.,
calling on the Henry F. Michell Co., and
Guy Payne and Miss Payne of Pottsville,
Pa., calling on the J. G. Neidinger Co.

Excellent Cypripedium orchids were
noticed at the Leo Niessen Co. Nov. 13,
including C. Sanderi and C. insigne.

The Cup is Presented

At the Mercantile Club on North
Broad st., Nov. 11, H. Bayersdorfer &
Co. entertained its entire staff and sev-
eral guests. The banquet, scheduled for
7 p.m., actually got under way about 8
o'clock and festivity ruled the board. Pro-
fessional entertainment was furnished by
singers and monologue artists. The speech-
ifying included an address from Charles
Grakelow on cooperation between employ-
er and employee; H. Bayersdorfer and
Sidney H. both spoke. The Campbell cup
was presented by Walter Davis of the

S. S. Pennock Co., as chairman of the
sports committee of the Florists Club, and
the banquet ended in a general sing song,
with everybody in on the chorus.

Speaking of singing, we understand that
one of the artists "put her heart into
the song" and sang straight at Eddie
Thorson. These Eddies!

Barney Edwards was also presented a
handsome metal cup (metal unknown) in
which had been placed a glass container
(contents unknown.)

The dancing lasted all the evening. The
feature of the dancing from all accounts
was Mr. and Mrs. H. Bayersdorfer trip-
ping the light fantastic with the best of
them. The New York staff was out in
force and about 200 were present alto-
gether. The hall was decorated with
flags and American Legion emblems in
honor of Armistice Day.

Retailers

The London Flower Shop completed
the purchase of the building it occupies
Nov. 13. It has been held on lease and
under agreement of sale for the past year.
W. B. Taber announced that he had re-
ceived excellent results from the exhibit
at the recent Chrysanthemum show — one
order for $300 or more he traces directly
to this, for instance.

Pennock Bros, were, busy on debutante
work, Nov. 14. Original designs play a
large part in this firm's appeal to the
flower buyer.

Bill Crawford was complaining, Nov. 13,
that he had shipments to every part of
the city all in one afternoon. This is
one of the standing evils of the flower
business. There appears to be no way
out except to try and get as large a load
each trip as possible.

Sometimes colors are so arresting and
effective that they bring one up with a
jerk to stop and to stare. For instance,
Harry Jones' window in yellow silk and
golden Chrysanthemums, at the Bellevue-
btratford branch of Habermehl's, last
week.

Maywood, III.

A recent report placed the total glass
area of Maywood growers at 1,400,000
sq. ft. It is interesting to state that the
Brunswick-Kroeschell Co. has furnished
boilers to heat over half of the glass
mentioned ; in fact, Kroesehell boilers,
both high pressure steam, low pressure
steam, and hot water, are heading
S70.000 sq. ft. in this district. Over
1530 h.p. boiler capacity is utilized for
this purpose.

One of the largest installations, in fact
it is stated that it was the largest single
boiler installation ever installed in any
one greenhouse at one time, were the
four 300 h.p. Kroesehell high pressure
fire and water tube steam boilers which
that concern furnished for the large A. F.
Amling plant some years ago.

In addition to the boilers, all of the
mechanically-cooled refrigerators of the
Maywood colony are equipped with
Kroesehell Ice Machines.

Fort Wayne, Ind.

Trade Notes

Business conditions for the past
two weeks have been very satisfactory.
Ideal weather conditions have greatly
aided in the increased demand for flow-
ers, which has been a little above nor-
mal. Armistice Day also gave trade
quite a boost, there being many wreaths
and designs ordered. It also afforded the
florists an opportunity of displaying
their skill in window decorations, many
taking advantage of the day to use Old
Glory, combined with flowers with won-
derfully pleasing effects.

The market is well, supplied, Chrysan-
themums are still the main factor.

Roses are exceedingly good, and in
larger quantities, as are Carnations, for
which there is a good demand. Orchids
are scarce, but equal to the demand.

A visit to the establishment of Knecht
V. Freese reveals the fact that this firm
is sending out some wonderfully fine
Chrysanthemums ; the stems are long
and the flowers perfect.

The Doswell Floral Co. had a wonder-
ful display window this week. Many
Chrysanthemums were shown with Au-
tumn foliage. Also wreaths and designs
for Armistice Day. Wenninghoff Flo-
rist, also had a fine window for Armis-
tice Day.

Now Let's Talk

About the

Rafters and Trussing

in Our

Number One Construction

One man on the ground pulls up the assembled
rafters and truss, and the man at the columns
guides it in place and bolts it fast.

A while ago you and I talked about the way we frame the sides
of our Number One Iron Frame Houses. If agreeable to you,
this chat together will be about putting up the rafter and truss
from the eaves to the column. After which we will start drop-
ping the two rafters and truss in place to. form the backbone
of the roof.

First, we'll lay the eave-to-column short part of the rafter on
the ground, and bolt on the strut of the truss. Then with
a dimple gin-pole we'll raise the rafter up, and while one man,
standing on a horse scaffold, guides it into place between the
column cap, another man will see that the other end drops in
between the gusset plates attached to posts on side of house.

Then in go the bolts. After which the trusses are bolted to
the post and column cap, and to the strut in the middle. Next
comes the gable with its one-piece rafters running from ridge
to eave, and the necessary gable posts with their angle iron
purlins.

Now, with the two rafters and truss extending from columns to
ridge assembled and laid out on the ground, we will again use
the gin-pole and hoist them up and bolt to the malleable iron
column cap fitting and ridge plate. Next we bolt on the purlins,
and before you know it we have our gable and three complete
sections, each 1 2 feet 6 inches long, all framed. So suppose
we stop at this point and call it a day's work. What do you
say if next time we have a talk it be about the connecting pas-
sages and how they are framed?

A close up view of the first half of
the rafter with its truss.

Gladiolus Novelties

Mostly all of our own raising, including our new Gladiolus Maiden's Blush, of which
"The Florists Review" writes as follows:

"Gladiolus Maiden's Blush originates with J. J. Grullemans & Sons of Lisse, Holland,
being one of a number of Primulinus hybrids of pronounced early flowering habit; among these
i s Maiden's Blush. The color of this beautiful variety is of a most attractive shade of light
pink, and some good judges think Maiden's Blush will become one of the most widely grown
and popular varieties when it is well known.

"It is said that this variety will force in the greenhouse in seven weeks."

In a former number of "The Florists Review" said: "Maiden's Blush has taken better
on the Chicago market than any other Gladiolus ever did."

glass to pieces, and its resistance to wind is only gov-
erned by the frame it is attached to.

This treated netting is practically indestructible,
for it is apparently unaffected by wet and can with-
stand a temperature of several hundred degrees. It
will not burn freely ; a light puff of wind would ex-
tinguish the flame if it became ignited. It appears to
hold heat better than glass for, when frosted, it is
not cold to the touch like glass. It breaks the direct
rays of the sun yet casts no actual shade.

This writer questions the wisdom of erecting a
permanent structure with this material ; its use would
be better restricted to portable sashes which can be
fixed to framework. The house erected by Colle Bros.
is needlessly high and is a fixture, but even so, if the
covering was perfect, it could be utilized for hurry-
ing a crop of Darwin Tulips or Gladioli in the Spring.

As to its capability of withstanding snow this de-
pends entirely upon the framework and the beading
which holds it. Colle Bros, have not attempted to
use anything in the nature of sash bars; the roof
supports are about the same distance as the rafters
of an ordinary greenhouse, so that the material has
considerable play under wind pressure, and rattles
like thunder.

It is intended to make light sashes to slide under
grooves next season, by which time some means of
overcoming the difficulty of dressing of the wire will
doubtless be achieved. The present house will prob-
ably be allowed to stand, so that its resistance to
Winter weather will be fully tested. If it comes up
to expectations, the chemical firm who have worked
with Colle Bros, will probably make the material on
a commercial basis. For the present it is just experi-
mental. ' W

nately the weather has favored them, for while the
thermometer has been down to 18 deg. on one occa-
sion and to 20 deg. several times, wind has held off,
so that with the aid of canvas stretched across the
wires, three small oil stoves and a couple of lin.
steam pipes, the brothers have been able to keep the
temperature high enough to prevent damage to the
opening flowers.

At the time of my visit a few flowers had been
cut, and several hundreds were ready for the knife.
Considering their low stature the flowers were quite
respectable, many close on 4in. Given to the end of
the month, without a very low temperature, accom-
panied by high winds, Colle Bros, figure the crop
will fully cover the cost of the experiment, and still
leave them with the house to carry on further tests.

As to the practical side of the subject, Colle Bros,
have no doubts, nor has this writer ; the proper coat-
ing of the wire is purely a mechanical proposition.
Applied properly and dried quickly the material is
as transparent as the ordinary netting. The mesh
used is slightly coarser than the ordinary mosquito
netting and was specially made. Its strength is
unquestioned ; it will resist a blow that would shiver

What We Know About Boston Ferns

By RALPH C. BENEDICT

REFERENCE was recently made to the fact that
a new substitute for glass was under test and
for the purpose of getting a practical idea of its
value, I, on Nov. 16, visited Colle Bros, of Morris ave.,
Summit, N. J. who, as an experiment, had erected a
frame house some 240ft.x25ft. glazed with the new
material over some 8000 or so Major Bonnaffon
Chrysanthemums.

I may say right away that Colle Bros, are wholly
responsible for this experimental house. Natives of
Belgium, and with lots of experience in England, they
have had the notion that it was possible to flower
'Mums under temporary erections as is done in Eng-
land. Not but what they are aware that a glass
structure is infinitely superior but, real greenhouses
cost money and as they have only been established
three years or so and their range is an old one, in
none too good condition, it follows that while they
are anxious to increase their output, they are not in
a position to put up more glass. Consequently a cheap
substitute would serve a useful purpose. Their chief
crops are Chrysanthemums, followed by Hydrangeas,
of which they grow large numbers, Spring bulbs,
Lilies and Gladioli.

Their previous experience with oiled paper, waxed
cloth, etc., convinced them that something better was
needed and they tried ordinary varnish on mosquito
netting, but this cracked so readily that they sought
the aid of a chemist to locate a substance which they
knew was used for other purposes, and having got on
the right track, they planted out a block of Bonnaffon
'Mums last June. They figured on getting them cov-
ered in August, and duly erected a frame house.

But dressing small pieces of wire mosquito netting
was an easier proposition than treating 100ft. lengths,
oft. wide. The special varnish was either too thick or
too thin; it dried too quickly or not quickly enough.
It called for a special vat for dipping and a drying
room that would permit rolling of the wire as fast
as it came out of the vat. It was not possible to have
these appliances and the difficulties therefore were
great.

In the end, however, they got the wire dressed, al-
though the results were far from perfect. The mesh
was not thoroughly covered, and in places, owing to
low temperature, the varnish dried white instead of
transparent. In a word it was only half a job, but
there was no time for further experiments, as Oc-
tober had arrived. Accordingly the material was put
up ; frost actually came along before the plants were
completely covered. Rough and ready wires were
strung up for carrying strings to support the plants
which, owing to the unusual treatment and the lack
of covering were none too strong. The plants actu-
ally never had a fair chance.

Owing to multitudes of tiny holes in the mesh it
looked a veritable gamble, because the heat, bottled
up during the day, rapidly vanished at night. Fortu-

VI — Classifying Bostons According to Size

ABOUT six years ago, in the course of extensive
visits to fern growers from Massachusetts to
Ohio, including some who had -introduced new
forms, I found in the trade a preponderance of the
original Boston variety. Every grower had a good
stock and although Scottii, Teddy, Jr., Giatrasi, as
well as numerous plume and lace varieties had long
been before the public, the old bostoniensis easily
led in popularity and number sold.

This is no longer true at least in the East. Today
many growers do not produce a single plant of the
old form. Instead, its place has been taken by one
or another of the smaller, medium sized plants. About
Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, the F. R. Pier-
son form called "Dwarf Boston" is abundant ; Scottii,
Teddy, Jr., and Macawi, recently so well advertised
are common. The number of florists growing plume

What We Know About Boston Ferns

(Concluded from page 1395)
varieties and the lace types has, however, materially
decreased. Of these only the lace type Verona, an
introduction of S. Randolph & Sons, is at all fre-
quent.

Medium Sized Bostons Most Popular in Trade

It has already been suggested that the decrease in
the number of plume and lace forms grown may best
be ascribed to cultural difficulties, particularly in
watering. For the once-divided varieties, the ques-
tion of size is the determining factor, the larger types
being less popular for, probably, a two-fold reason
relating, first to the consumer and, second, to the
grower. In the city apartment or small single house,
space is a most important consideration. The living
room often is crowded with three chairs and a table
and the window or windows admit none too much
light at best ; in such circumstances a large rangy
Boston Fern is decidedly a "crowd."

From the grower's and retailer's standpoint, a
given area of glass will raise fewer plants of the
large forms. Also, a longer growing period is de-
manded by the large type, and a higher price is neces-
sary. Particularly, however, the grower is interested
in the fact that the smaller types will mature salable
plants, shaped in general like a well developed Bos-
ton, but with a larger number of leaves in a much
shorter time. Different Nephrolepis varieties of good
growth characteristics will apparently turn out a
given amount of leaf tissue. In a small variety, this
tissue will take the form of a larger number of leaves
and a more compact plant, whereas in the larger
types, the number of leaves is necessarily reduced.

Classes of Boston Varieties by Size

The 22 once pinnate forms of distinct origiu
listed in a preceding article as included in the sets
distributed for experimental test are best classified
on a size basis first, after which further distinguish-
ing characteristics may be noted. The accompanying
illustrations make clear the three size classes that
may be recognized.

(1) Full or large size, with leaves averaging 30in
to 40in. or more in length. This group includes the
ordinary bostoniensis, also the wild Sword Fern, the
Roosevelt Fern, the Harris Fern and others.

(2) Half dwarf, with leaves averaging from ISin.
to 30in., typified by Scottii and Giatrasi, the first of
the dwarf types to appear. Fifteen of the 22 forms
in the test list belong in this size group, with Teddy,
Jr., Dwarf Boston, and Macawi, the commonest at
present, and Schuberti compacta, the most recent ap-
plicant for favor.

(3) Small dwarf, or pigmy, with leaves averaging
from 6in. to 12in. and represented by the form known
as Childsi, which resembles the smallest fern illus-
trated. Childsi, the fern pictured (an unnamed sport
of Teddy, Jr.), and the Giatras form called "New
Jersey" are the only members of this group.

It will be understood that these groups are not
without exceptions. Poor growing conditions niav
stunt plants and extra good conditions result in over
size leaves. Furthermore the 20 odd forms could

probably be arranged in a graduated series from
the least dwarf to the largest wild Sword Fern. Th.j
plants illustrated are represented according to the
same scale. The largest is Harrisii, or more accu-
rately, Win. K. Harris, an improved type of Harrisii.
As grown at the Brooklyn Garden, with special feed-
ing, it developed leaves nearly 6ft. long. The Teddy,
Jr., and Randolph! plants, belong in class two as to
size. The Randolph Fern seems practically identical
in appearance with Macawi, though of separate origin
from Teddy, Jr., and an earlier introduction. It re-
mains for the experimental test to determine whether
there are cultural differences. The diminutive speci-
men, the last sport of Teddy, Jr.. has had indepen-
dent origin with several florists, but has never been
deemed worthy of a name and formal introduction.

Judged on a basis of trade conditions, we may con-
clude that the middle size Boston varieties are the
best. It should be emphasized, however, that there
is still a real need of the larger sizes where limited
space does not restrict the choice.

Referring to Article IV

In listing the commercial growers and institutions
that are cooperating with the Brooklyn Botanic Gar-
den in testing fern varieties (see page 1247, issue of
Nov. 11), there was inadvertently omitted the name
of Schubert's Sons of North Bergen, N. J., who were
among the first to undertake the test work. It is
gratifying to note that the Nov. 11 article has already
produced results in the form of an application from
Werner Lieb, New Rochelle, N. Y., for a set of the
competitive varieties. This — and similar sets if re-
quested— will be sent as soon as the present six
months' test is completed and the new crop of run-
ners has been harvested. R. C. B.

Commercial Flower Growers of Chicago

Spring Show Decided

The regular monthly meeting of the Flower Grow-
ers was held Thursday evening, Nov. 16, at the Ran-
dolph Hotel. Owing to the absence of Secretary Otto
Amling, Henry Neve acted as secretary.

The most important business of the evening was
the discussion as to the propriety of holding a Spring
flower show. The general feeling was that Chicago
should have a flower show in Spring. There has been
flower shows all over the country and none in Chi-
cago. It was feared by some that the time is too
short to prepare for a show and it might be best to
wait until Fall and put on a large exhibition. The
general feeling, however, was in favor of the Spring
show.

The city parks all put on splendid Chrysanthemum
exhibits every year free to the public and a Spring
show therefore would be a better drawing card.
Jos. Kohout, R. J. Windier, Paul Klingsporn, Ernst
Oechslin all spoke in favor of a Spring show. After
some discussion it was decided that a committee
from the growers be appointed to cooperate with the
committee from the Chicago Florists Club for the
purpose of getting up a good exhibition at whatever
time it might be deemed the most feasible.

Secretary Hilmer V. Swenson of the Allied Florist.3
was present and gave a report of the publicity work
the allies were doing and told of their plans for the
near future. He reported the finances of the associa-
tion in good condition for the season's campaign of
advertising. He stated the allied florists were back
of the movement of "Cheer Monday" that already had
the endorsement of the Kiwanis Clubs, the Board of
Trade, the Elks, and Uptown Business Men's Associa-
tion. It will not be long when the employees of all
the large business houses in the city will be wearing
a flower every Monday, which would mean a lot to
the trade.

C. H. Porter, who is also doing publicity work for
the growers was present and gave a report of what
he was doing through the local papers in publicity
work. He showed clippings mounted on cardboard
of all the articles and illustrations of flowers he was
able to get into the city papers which, he estimated,
had they been paid for at the regular advertising
rates would cost in the neighborhood of $80,000.

As the next regular monthly meeting of the asso-
ciation comes quite close to Christmas when the
members might be too busy to attend, it was decided
to hold the December meeting in connection with the
meeting of the Chicago Florists Club at Morton Grove,
Dec. 7.

The call for an exhibition of novelties for this
meeting brought together an attractive exhibit of Car-
nations and Chrysanthemums. Hartje & Elder, In-
dianapolis, Ind., had a fine display of the new Carna-
tion Winsome. There was about 175 blooms and they
made an excellent showing. Lem Elder was present
and addressed the meeting saying he was always glad
to come to Chicago as he always learned something
every time he came. The Carnation was awarded! a
certificate of merit by the association.

The E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind., sent three va-
rieties of large flowering Chrysanthemums; White
Surprise, Mrs. G. W. Burke, and Giant White.

The Elmer D. Smith Co., Adrian, Mich., sent a large
variety, including some new varieties to be scored by
the committee of the C. S. A. Some of the varieties
sent were Corneto, a mammoth incurved pink that
scored 95 points; Rosa Ralsa, another beautiful, in-
curved pink, scoring 92 points ; Orange Queen, reflexed
bronze and Pink Treasure, all fine exhibition blooms.
Florera, an Anemone yellow ; Lucia, a disbudded Pom-
pon and Oncido, a button Pompon were included in
this fine collection.

Peter Pearson exhibited a nice collection of Singles
and Pompons, including Romaine Warren, Surprise,
Grafonola, Mary H. Totty, Lilac, November Gold,
Pink Daisy, Louise Davenport and Baltimore.

Geo. J. Ball, Glen Ellyn, exhibited a vase of Calen-
dulas of splendid quality that was awarded the certifi-
cate of the association.

Ed. Blaumeiser, Niles Center, 111., exhibited three
vases of seedling Carnations, a pink, white, and varie-
gated that received the certificate of the association.

The judges for Carnations were Ed. Blaumeiser,
M. Wiltgen, and J. F. Bussee. On Chrysanthemums,
Hans Jepson, Geo. Ball, and M. Luedtke.

Notes from Abroad

November is arriving in characteristic
fashion with dull days and a tendency to
fog, but the sharp cold of the preceding
period had its effect on the outdoor
plants, and the cut flower business in the
markets was, in consequence, more satis-
factory from the sellers' point of view.
Pot plants, such as Cyclamen, Cinerarias,
Ericas, Genistas and Solanums went off
remarkably well.

News coming through from the French
growing districts indicates a small crop
of Celery in the West, but a fairly good
one in the South. Of table and field
Beets, there has but little been gathered
in the Parisian region and still less in the
West, so that prices keep high. Sowings
for 1923 are doing well.

Brussels Sprouts are a short crop in all
districts. For 1923 there is a fair quan-
tity out, but the plant is not looking very
well at present. The crop of Turnips
and Rutabagas is practically nil this year,
but considerable quantities are said to be
still in stock. Sowings for 1923 have
been made, but it is too soon to say how
much the acreage will finally amount to.
Of Bush Beans, a bumper crop was antici-
pated, but the earlier thrashings seem to
indicate only a moderate crop after all,
and the later ones are not likely to turn
out better. Pole Beans have not been so
much grown this season, largely owing to
the difficulty of obtaining supports, but
there should be about an average crop.
Peas are generally under average and
prices are rising. Of Winter Vetches,
there is only a small crop, but that of
white Millet is quite satisfactory.

At the recent annual meeting of the
British National Sweet Pea Society, the
finances were reported to be in a satisfac-
tory condition and the membership roll
on the upgrade. Robert Bolton was elected
president for the ensuing year, and A.

C. Bartlett secretary in succession to H.

D. Tigwell, to whom a presentation was
made on his retirement. The award of
the Henry Eckford Memorial Medal to
S. B. Dicks was a very pleasing feature
of the meetings. He was one of the
earliest pioneers of the present day Sweet
Pea cult, and by his keen and painstaking
researches into the origin and develop-
ment of the Sweet Pea, he has fairly
earned the title of being its historian.
It is also evident to those who have
watched his labors of love on successive
floral committees during many years, that
no living man has done more to estab-
lish this flower in the popular favor it
now enjoys. This recognition of Mr.
Dicks' services will no doubt be of inter-
est to his many friends on your side of
the ocean. Transatlantic Seedsman.

Nov. 4, 1922.

New York Seed Trade

McHutchison & Co., 95 Chambers st.,
report that their last carload of Lilium
giganteum bulbs has arrived and that four
carloads of hardy Japanese Lily bulbs are
en route and due to arrive soon. With
the arrival of Manetti Rose stocks, they
find themselves able to make complete
deliveries for the first time in years.
They have no surplus of either Paper-
white Narcissus or other French bulbs or
of Dutch bulbs, having made a nice clean-
up of all these. They report that beyond
a doubt there is a short crop of German
grown, high grade Lily of the Valley pips.
Rhodes grass and other grass seeds from
Australia are now being delivered in large
lots direct from San Francisco. Business
in fruit stock seedlings from France is
again on a pre-war basis.

At Max Sehling's . Seed Store, 24 West
59th St., it is reported that the general
demand for seasonable items over the
counter continues to be unprecedentedly
active, and that the demand by mail for
November is exceptionally large. There
is still a considerable demand for Paper-
white and Soleil d'Or Narcissi, and a
steadily increasing call for Lily of the
Valley .pips to flower in boivls of fibre.
The store has already received several
large deliveries of new crop flower seeds
from its growers, and invoices of large
shipments of vegetable seeds, which are
expectedly daily. The outlook is for a
busy December rather than the dull month
usually experienced in many seed stores,
as this establishment has impressed upon
its customers the advantage of ordering
early. The result of this educational
program is that good sized orders for
December delivery, of both flower and
vegetable seeds are already coming _ in.
We noted during our call a shipment just
received of bulbs of Anenome de Caen, the
Giant Fench Poppy Anemone.

C. J. Speelman & Sons, 470 Greenwich
St., report that they are selling Paper-
white Narcissi at reduced prices in satis-
factory quantities. Dutch bulbs, they say,
are pretty well cleaned out. This firm has
received notice from the appraiser's
stores in New York City of an increase in
duty on dyed Immortelles of from 40 per
cent to 60 per cent, which, they say, will
force importers to ask almost prohibitive
prices, unless the cost of Immortelles in
France is reduced. Their shipments of
German Lily of the Valley pips are afloat
and due at any time.

Charles Schwake & Co., 149 Church st.,
are expecting shipments of Lily of the
Valley pips this week. From all reports
received from growers, high grade Ger-
man grown Lily of the Valley pips will
run short of the demand.

LILY OF THE VALLEY PIPS

We regret to inform the trade that an unprecedented demand for Cold Storage
Valley Pips has exhausted our supply, which we thought would be ample to take
care of orders until this year's crop is ready for distribution.

The new crop is reported to be short in the best forcing grade pips. Consci-
entious shippers in Germany are already declining orders. Our own supply will
be smaller than last year. Prices on early orders will remain about the same.
There is no ground for hasty action, but growers of Valley should carefully
figure out what quantity they can use in 1923, and then proceed to compare
qualities as soon as the stocks arrive. It is advisable to place orders for the
entire season as soon as the right stock at the right price has been located, for
there will not be much cold storage stock carried over until next Fall by jobbers
and dealers, according to present indications.

We accept orders for new Valley now, subject to your approval of our quality.

"You will be pleased."

All these varieties are the Winter-

indoors or outdoors the year around.
They will produce more and better flowers
outdoors than the old late Spencers, be-
cause they bloom 3 to 4 weeks earlier,
before the hot weather sets in. Plant
after the Chrysanthemum and get a full
crop for Easter. Plant in cool frames or
outdoors just before the freezing begins
and get a full crop in May for Decoration
Day. Plant out of doors in the Spring
and they will bloom early in June.

Greenwich st., reports the arrival from
Holland of 50,000 top size Crocus bulbs.
In view of the fact that importers and
dealers are reporting that they are prac-
tically cleaned out of Crocus bulbs, this
shipment has certainly arrived at an op-
portune time.

At Vaughan's Seed Store, 41 to 43 Bar-
clay st., the shipping of Spiraea has been
completed. Among the stock distributed
was the new Spirasa, Princess Mary, of
which Vaughans has the entire stock.
It is reported there that 4000 clumps of
this new variety have already been sold,
and that the demand is so great that it
will be necessary to make pro rata de-
liveries in filling orders. An interesting
feature in regard to this new variety is
that it is an extraordinarily strong grower
and makes clumps of enormous size. This
store has just received a large shipment
of hybrid Amaryllis bulbs. The carload
of Lilium giganteum bulbs received last
week has been used up in filling orders,
and practically no bulbs are left to go
into cold storage. The demand for Dutch
bulbs over the counter continues active;
the stocks of these bulbs are being rapidly
depleted and are not replaceable.

S. S. Skidelsky of S. S. Skidelsky & Co.,
53 Park pi., last week attended the con-
vention ot the Tennessee Florists) Associ-
ation at Nashville, Ten. The New York
office reports that there is an active call
at this time for rooted cuttings of Ge-
raniums of the standard varieties; also
for stock plants of Chrysanthemums.

F. Rynveld & Sons are now making
shipments of Spirasas from their Long
Island nurseries. The quality compares
very favorably with that of stocks form-
erly imported. Lily of the Valley are
now afloat in considerable quantities for
this firm. Immortelles are in big demand.

New York Branch of A. B. C.

The American Bulb Co. will soon an-
nounce to the trade the opening of a New
York City office, which will enable it to
better its service generally and especially
to handle its eastern business direct from
New York. Specific notice of the loca-
tion of the office, which will probably open
about Dec. 15, will be forthcoming shortly.

For the manager of this branch office
the company has secured J. J. Karins of
Philadelphia, who needs no introduction
to the trade. For a score of years he has
traveled back and forth across this coun-
try, studying, stimulating and developing
florieultural interests along the lines of
highest endeavor, and winning an envi-
able place in the estimation of those to
whom it means the most. In addition to
being general manager of the Eastern
branch, Mr. Karins will also hold the office
of vice-president of the American Bulb Co.

Another member of the company's East-
ern force will be J. H. Boekmann who also
is well known to the trade. He had ex-
tensive experience in the business in Hol-
land prior to his coming to America, is
well acquainted with the bulb trade there,
and has a thorough knowledge of horticul-
ture generally, which will be a valuable
asset to the company. Mr. Boekmann will
join the company as a traveling man, as
will also Arthur Bynveld, formerly a

member of the firm of Rynveld Bros, of
New York. The latter will serve as man-
ager of the bulb department at New York,
making trips to Holland in the interests
of the A- B. C. during the buying and
packing season. His long experience as
a grower and exporter especially fits him
for the management of the Dutch bulb
interests of the firm.

The American Bulb Co., by -the addi-
tion of these gentlemen to its personnel,
and in view of its excellent sources of
supply throughout the world, will be bet-
ter prepared than ever to render service
second to none.

Chicago Seed Trade

J. C. Vaughan is in receipt of a Diplo-
ma Extraordinary from the Hillsdale Col-
lege, Hillsdale, Mich., his Alma Mater.
The diploma is presented to Mr. Vaughan
in recognition of his noteworthy service
to floriculture, landscape gardening, and
literature pertaining thereto. It is an
artistic document handsomely gotten up
on sheepskin of which Mr. Vaughan is
quite proud.

R. B. Howe! of the W. W. Barnard Co.
attended the Minneapolis flower show the
past week. The company has had an
unusually good demand for Holland and
French bulbs this season, no doubt due
in a large measure to extensive local ad-
vertising.

The American Bulb Co. has been fea-
turing supreme quality of Lily of the
Valley, not only for cut flowers, but for
pot plants as well as for holiday bloom-
ing. A considerable quantity of this
stock was grown for pot plants for last
Easter trade and gave excellent satisfac-
tion. Florists will do well to provide
for a sufficient supply of these pips for
their Christmas pot plant trade. It re-
quires only about 25 days more or less, ac-
cording to the heat given to bring them
into bloom. Pips planted from Nov. 25

to Dec. 1 would therefore be in bloom
for the Christmas and New Year trade..

Rumor has it that a large Chicago im-
porting house in plants, bulbs and seeds
will soon open headquarters in New York
City so as to be able to s^rve its eastern
trade better. Prominent men in the hor-
ticultural industry in Philadelphia and
elsewhere will be connected with this new
house.

Owing to a long open season, the seeds-
men have been able to make a wonderful
cleanup on all bulb stock. There has also
been a good demand for perennials, the
Fall planting of which is recommended
by the dealers. Many fill-in orders from
dealers throughout the country, indicate
that there had been a satisfactory season
throughout the country.

Cincinnati Seed Trade

Despite the fact that sales of bulbs
have been continuous since September, the
demand in this market is almost as brisk
as when it opened. The largest bulb house
in this territory received two large ship-
ments last week of replacement orders
and it is expected that all will be gone
by the end of this week. Sales of Gla-
dioli for Spring delivery were made in
quantity and the sales of Chinese Lilies
were opened with the prospect of the
largest business on record. Very few
florists are buying as compared with the
retail dealers trade and that which
comes direct from garden clubs and the
individual buyer, through mail orders.
Paperwhite Narcissus and Holland stock
form the major part of the. orders. Ber-
muda Lilies were not much in favor and
only occasional orders for French bulbs
were received. Dealers said that French
stock is very difficult to dispose of, due
to its high price. The condition of Chinese
bulbs this year is much better than that
last year. Chinese Lilies arrived in good
shape, well packed, dry and without the
overheating which was so much com-
plained about by dealers and purchasers
in other years.

The seed trade is about over, so far as
field seeds are concerned, but a brisk de-
mand has sprung up for Blue Grass and
other Kentucky seeds in the North and
East.

Daniel Carmichael, manager of the seed
and bulb department of J. M. McCullough
Sons of this city is making a successful
trip through the East. He has placed
many orders for Blue Grass and other
grass seed and will return about Thanks-
giving after visiting New York and the
New England States. E. L. H.

New Orleans Seed Trade

The New Orleans seedsmen are just
winding up what has been a most success-
ful Fall season in the seed and bulb trade.
Merchants report that the business during
the past three months period was con-
siderably better than that done the pre-
vious year, covering the same period.
Business is, however, about to hibernate
for the next three months, and things will
be generally quiet from the last of the
month until the beginning of March, when
Spring planting will commence once more.

The garden and truck seed business
held up well until just recently. The truck
farmers have all practically finished plant-
ing for this year, as by the time the pres-
ent crop is ready, cold weather will be
here. About the only sales in that line
at present are to farmers who have had
certain parts of their crops destroyed,
and are buying to fill in. Rains, until last
week, have been rather scanty all through
the Fall, and this has in a measure held
the plants back. Beet, Radish, Collard,
Onion, Mustard, Parsley, Pea, Turnip,
Spinach, Cabbage and Carrot seed are
still slightly in demand, some for home
gardens. Pepper, Tomato and Bean seed
have stopped selling.

The flower seed trade has not suffered
such a slump as the garden seed business,
and is still managing to keep its head
above water. Home growers are sowing
some seed with the expectation of its
blooming this year, while others are plant-
ing and banking the Spring garden. Most
seed, if planted now, can be expected to
bloom before a frost, for in New Orleans,
January and February are the coldest
months. Phlox, Pinks, Snapdragon, Lark-
spur, Carnations, Sweet Peas, Marigolds,
Sweet Allysum and Candytuft are the
seeds being bought now.

The bulb trade has been good during the
Fall months, and has not come to a stand-
still yet. In spite of the higher prices,
Narcissus, Hyacinth, Daffodil and Tulip
bulbs are being purchased freely. More of
these bulbs are being sold to home grow-

ers, however than to nurserymen, for at a
recent meeting of the New Orleans Horti-
cultural Society it was decided to discon-
tinue the growing of Dutch bulbs on ac-
count of the high prices they would be
forced to charge for the finished flower.

The lawn grass season is holding on,
and although planting began about Sept.
15, it will continue through December.
The heaviest buying is over now, but the
lawn grass sales are still a factor1 on the
local market. New Orleans residents
have their lawns planted to the native
Bermuda grass, but during the Winter
season this grass turns yellow and dies,
so that in order to have a green lawn
during the Winter months it is necessary
to make a sowing of English Rye. The
Rye grass stays green all Winter until
Spring approaches, when the Bermuda
again replaces it. Rye grass is good for
only one season and must therefore be
replanted each year. Seedsmen enjoy
quite a good revenue from this source.

The main bulk of the Winter business
is the poultry seed and mash trade. Many
people are beginning to set their hens this
early, and the poultry business is daily
extending. Another side line which boosts
Winter sales is the stock of feeders, foun-
tains, etc., for chickens; these are large
items on the sales list. This trade will
soon begin, and all seedsmen have either
just received or are soon going to receive
a fine new line of this merchandise.

Flexible Tariff Provisions Not So
Flexible

Wm. F. Gude Sees Little Chance of
Rate Reductions on Certain Com-
modities

Members of the trade are interesting
themselves in the operation of the flex-
ible tariff provisions of the new tariff
law and applications for changes in
rates and classifications are being filed
with the Tariff Commission. For the
sake of those not familiar with these
provisions William F. Gude has issued
the following statement for their guid-
ance.

"As national representative of the
S. A. F. and O. H. I have had several
inquiries lately indicating that there are
many importers and growers who are
not familiar with the operation of these
provisions, for whose benefit this state-
ment is made.

"It has come to my knowledge that
persons interested in the importation
into the United States of foreign mer-
chandise have made applications to the
Tariff Commission asking that an inves-
tigation be made with a view to secur-
ing the transfer thereof from the duti-
able to the free list. Included among
these commodities are said to be Onion
seed and Sorghum seed and certain fruits
and vegetables.

"By inquiry at the offices of the Tar-
iff Commission last wee,k, it was as-
certained that in all about 72 applica-
tions for such investigations had been
filed. The Commission is hardly in po-
sition yet to take definite action on the
applications because it has not yet mob-
ilized the staff1 of experts needed to
prosecute the work.

"As may well be imagined, the bulk
of the applications call for a reduction
in the existing tariff rates. In fact, the
amplications covering Onion ;and Sor-
ghum seed and, I think, grass seed, asked
that these commodities be admitted to
the United States free of duty.

"A study of the law shows that it is
not within the power of the Tariff Com-
mission to recommend to the President
the issuance of a proclamation permit-
ting the free entry of any commodity
now subject to duty. Congress re-
stricted the Presidential power to in-
creasing or decreasing rates of duty to
not to exceed 50 per cent.

"Grass seeds are dutiable at from lc.
to 4c. per pound and Onion seeds carry
a rate of 15c. per pound. In the case
of the latter, if the importers can make
a case, it might be possible to secure a
reduction of not to exceed 7%c per
pound. The claim has been made that
there is need for the importation of for-
eign grown Onion seed because of the
great decline in domestic production.

"I am informed that in 1919, the pro-
duction of Onion seeds was approximately
2.618,000 pounds and that in 1920 it de-
clined very sharply to 800,000 and 334,-
000 pounds, respectively. It cannot he
learned how much was imported during

Week at the Capital

By CLARENCE L. LINZ

Plans of the Farm Bloc

The November elections and the defeat
of a number of conservative Republican
candidates for reelection to Congress, re-
flected to a considerable, extent the dis-
content which prevails throughout the
country over the unsatisfactory and slow
recovery from the war, according to Sen-
ator Arthur Capper of Kansas, chair-
man of the Senate farm bloc. On the
strength of the sentiments expressed by
voters on Nov. 7, the farm bloc, during
the short session which convened Nov.
20, is going to make a strong effort to
secure the enactment of some of the legis-
lation for which it consistently and ener-
getically fought during the last session.

The fact that almost every member of
the Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce who assisted in drafting the
present transportation act and who was
a candidate for reelection, was defeated,
indicates, says Senator Capper, the
widespread dissatisfaction with the rail-
road situation and the existing rate
levels. The new tariff, he thinks, was
not an active issue and the elastic provi-
sions of the law which enable the Presi-
dent to change or moderate duties where
such action is deemed essential to the
welfare of our industries or people, has
taken off the curse which usually at-
taches to such legislation. The fact that
Progressive candidates throughout the
country polled heavy votes, he declared,
is an indication that the American voter
today wants things done, not hindered.

"I hail this discontent and fierce impa-
tience for more efficiency in Government
as a good omen," he said. "What it is
leading to is more and more direct at-
tention and closer study by State and
national leaders of the true interest of
the whole people, a devoted earnest con-
sideration of the general welfare to the
exclusion of any merely special interest.
This in itself will speed up our system
until it finally eliminates the great incu-
bus of privilege which does so much to
block progress."

The farm bloc has a comprehensive
plan for legislation which it will work
during the short session, including a law
providing credit for farmers and stock-
men. It is also working for further re-
ductions of freight charges and for the
repeal of Section 15-a (the so-called guar-
antee provisions) of the Cummins-Esch
transportation act. A better system of
marketing, the development of the Mus-
cle Shoals project, the passage of
the truth-in-fabrics and filled milk
bills are also sought. Efforts will
also be made to secure the pas-
sage of a constitutional amendment
prohibiting tax exempt securities and of
legislation to bring about still further
reductions in tax burdens and providing
for further economies in Government ad-
ministration.

Business Good and Steady

Industrial activity is now on a fairly
stable plane, according to reports filed
with the American Railway Association.
Movement of merchandise over the rail-
roads of the country now totals more
than a half million cars a week. Com-
pared with the corresponding week last
year, the total for the week ended Nov.
4 showed an increase of 69,875 cars, and
compared with the corresponding week
in 1920 an increase of 84,586 cars.

Postal Return Directions for Overseas

By acquainting themselves with the
practices prevalent in foreign countries
with respect to the disposition of unde-
liverable packages American business men
can save themselves much expense and
trouble, according to a report just is-
sued by the Post Office Department.

Regulations differ in the various coun-
tries. Argentina, British India, Gold
Coast Colony, Malta, Nigeria, Sierra
Leone and the Union of South Africa
rule that parcel post packages should be
endorsed by a paster which indicates: "If
undeliverable, abandon," or "undeliver-
able, return at sender's expense." South
African parcels permit the declaration,
"If undeliverable, tender for delivery at
second address."

Belgian Congo, Bulgaria, Egypt, Es-
thonia, Fiji Islands, Great Britain, Ire-

land, Italy, Lettonia, Lithuania, Mexico,
Netherlands, East Indies, Poland, Ru-
mania and Spain authorize either, "If
undeliverable as addressed, abandon/' or
"If not deliverable as addressed, deliver

to " Parcels which are not so

marked and are undeliverable will be
returned at the sender's expense.

A rather unusual practice is found in
Austria and Germany, where senders are
permitted to endorse "gift" package, "If
undeliverable, deliver to the poor."

Decision Awaited on Mileage Book
Plan

Pinal arguments in favor of the issu-
ance of interchangeable mileage tickets,
in accordance with the intent of the law
enacted by Congress shortly before ad-
journment, were submitted to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission on Nov. 15,
by representatives of travelers' associa-
tions. Previously, attorneys for the rail-
roads argued against the issuance of any
order which would compel the issuance of
either interchangeable mileage or scrip
coupons. They ux-ged that there was no
benefit to be derived from such tickets
unless the rate was substantially below
that charged for trip tickets and it was
asserted that the railroads' finances at
this time could not stand any reduction in
fares.

Realizing the impossibility of having
interchangeable mileage when rates range
from 3c. to 6c. or more, the traveling men
are on the whole in favor of scrip coupon
tickets instead of mileage. It was pointed
out that in enacting the law on which the
commission is now holding hearings, Con-
gress must have had in mind some allevia-
tion from existent mileage .charges, and
it was asserted that the increase in cost
of any commodity decreases its consumption
in proportion to the increase, therefore,
a decrease in the cost of transportation
would naturally increase the traffic. This
latter assertion is borne out, it was said,
by the many reports complaining of the
high cost of transportation, which leads
to the belief that a reduction in the pres-
ent rates would incline employers of sales-
men to increase their traveling forces.

"We believe," said the travelers repre-
sentatives, " that rates should be as near
the pre-war basis as possible, and believe
a reduction of 33 1/3 per cent under those
now existent should be granted."

The tickets, it was held, should be non-
transferable, present baggage privileges
should continue, the tickets should be sold
at all Class One offices, they should be
acceptable for all baggage charges, and by
all conductors, that they should be in
denominations of not less than $100 gross,
and that they should be safeguarded by
requiring the signature of the purchaser
for identification.

The hearing concluded the testimony
which the commission will take in the
case, and the matter will now be taken
under consideration and a decision issued
within a short time. C. L. L.

Trade Notes

Nov. 18. — Business has been pick-
ing up with the local florists this month,
and it is claimed that the general outlook
is good from now on. College and high
school football is creating a little de-
mand for flowers, especially Chrysanthe-
mums, which are plentiful and of fine
quality. However, the present long run
of fine weather is forcing stock, and there
is some doubt as to whether there will
be many Chrysanthemums left by Thanks-
giving, which, of course, is later than
usual this year. Cold weather is also
much later.

So far, there has been very little cold
weather, and less fuel has been burned
than during almost any Fall that can be
remembered. In the meantime, rail-
roads have been able to move fuel and the
country has been stocking up. Mine run
coal is now quoted all the way from
$2.25 to $4.25 a ton, according to quality.
These prices are loaded at mines. Most
of the growers have stocked some coal
of late, and are in excellent shape to
face the Winter.

The Kentucky Society of Florists re-
cently held a dinner meeting at the Wat-
terson Hotel. The dinner was followed
by an interesting talk from Herman
Kleinstarink, Sr., concerning a trip to
South America, where he investigated or-
chid growing conditions.

Herbert Walker, former owner of the
F. Walker Co., has again taken over the

business after having been away from it
for two years and four months. The busi-
ness in the meantime had been operated
by Mrs. E. S. Iring. Mr. Walker, who
has been in the business for forty odd
years, after disposing of his retail busi-
ness on Chestnut St., had been devoting
his attention to his nursery on Preston
st., but is now back in the game, and
has just announced his return through the
press.

G. B. Alberts, local orchid grower, and
his friend, Otto Rothert, local historian,
are spending two weeks in Muhlenburg
County, Ky., at the old home of Mr. Roth-
ert. They are doing quite a bit of hunt-
ing in the section. Mr. Alberts shortly
before leaving Louisville reported an
excellent demand for orchids, and that
his houses were coming along especially
well at this time.

Herman Kleinstarink, Sr., local grow-
er, reports a big house of orchids which
will soon be producing in mxich better
quantities. Mr. Kleinstarink during the
past two years, has gone in orchid grow-
ing with greatly added interest.

Local retailers report that they are
selling Chrysanthemums at all the way
from $3 to $10 a dozen, according to
size, quality, etc.

Joseph Able, of G. B. Thompson & Co.
reported a steady volume of business.
Prospects point to a big Thanksgiving
business.

Plans for widening Fourth st. from
Broadway to Chestnut st., have been
abandoned, due to inability to get the
cooperation of all property owners in do-
nating 15ft. of land on one side of the
street, while owners on the other side
paid for the alterations. All but one
property owner agreed to the plan. The
widening of the street would have affected
a number of floral shops located in the
block.

The Hurst Floral Shop, 740 East Mar-
ket st., has just purchased a Ford deliv-
ery truck.

At New Albany, Ind., Anders Rasmus-
sen, florist; and Mrs. Rasmussen, are
members of the new Citizens Council, of
60 leading men and women appointed by
the Community Service, for the purpose
of promoting the community spirit and ac-
tivities to improve the city. Every mem-
ber of the council represents an active
citizen, and every important civic organi-
zation in the city is represented.

Arbor Day was observed in the schools
of the city on Nov. 17, under Gov. Mor-
row's proclamation, this having become
an annual event. The celebration includes
planting of trees, shrubs, bulbs, etc., at
the schools, and an effort is made, to get
trees planted everywhere through the
State, especially along the roads.

The Liberty Insurance Bank, Louis-
ville, has done a great deal of good in
promoting interest in flowers, through its
flower shows. At the last show just closed
the vice-president said: "We are genuine-
ly gratified at the wonderful interest tak-
en in our monthly flower shows. Each
year since the idea was originated here
the shows have been a bigger success. I
am sure this season surpassed last year,
both in the number of the exhibitors and
in the wider variety and higher quality of
the blooms displayed. We continue to
receive letters from all parts of the coun-
try requesting information regarding our
flower shows."

New Orleans, La.

The Market

Nov. 18. — Wholesale prices con-
tinued the same this week as last, prac-
tically the same market conditions pre-
vailing. Next week will probably see the
cut flower prices advance in anticipation
of Thanksgiving Day. This week grow-
ers saw no opportunity of raising the
prices because of the quantity of stock
on the market, while the idea of putting
them any lower and making a profit was
out of the question.

Rains during the first part of the week
and again at the last had a tendency
to bring more flowers on the already
much overloaded market. The demand,
although it has improved over last week,
which marked the low point of the sea-
son, is not strong enough to take care of
the big supplies. One grower remarked
that he is selling only about 25 per cent
of the number of Roses which he is cap-
able of cutting, while the other 75 per
cent must be thrown away.

One of the virtues — the several vir-
tues, we might say — of our Ad Man is
his propensity for keeping in close touch
with the office when be goes. a traveling.
The writer recently accompanied him on a
little business trip, and one of his first
questions as we were registering at the
hotel was: "And how many mails a day
do we get here?"

The clerk looked at him for a minute,
letting his glance range from head to
foot with a brief, but perceptible pause
midway between. Then he answered, with
a rich brogue that -went well with his
brilliantly auburn hair: "Males, is it
then? Man, dear, ye get the same as ye
wud in any gud hotel, an' that's three —
breakfast, dinner an' supper. But shure,
if ye find yerself crackin' under th' strain,
we might be able to fix ye up a bite an'
a sup between times." (No wonder that
I later saw my companion taking up his
belt a notch or two, pulling down his vest
and glancing surreptitiously at the mir-
rors that we passed.)

Roses, Chrysanthemums and Carnations
are practically the only flowers for which
there is much call, with Roses probably
in the lead. A few Sweet Peas continue
to be shipped into the city from the
North, but in such small quantities that
they are hardly noticeable. The first
Violets of the season made their appear-
ance during the week in several of the
local flower shops. These, too, are so
small in quantity that they cannot be
considered as a factor on the market.
They are all home grown. Bunch Chrys-
anthemums are coming in in larger quan-
tities and formed the principal attraction
in many display windows. The majority
of these are yellow, but there are some
white and bronze.

Flower gardens throughout the city are
now filled with Poinsettias, large and
perfect at that, and their red splotches
against the green foliage are making many
residents realize that the Yuletide sea-
son is drawing near. The growers have
been more careful with their plants, hold-
ing them back so that only in rare in-
stances is the full flower seen. These
will be held until later in December, so
that the home supply may have dimin-
ished to such an extent that their rap-
id sale may be assured. Several plants
were noted at the flower shop of Charles
Eble, but these were more for display
purposes than for sale.

Quarantine Again Feared

Fear that Louisiana, together with
the State of Alabama, would be put under
a quarantine to prevent the spread of the
camphor scale caused the New Orleans
Horticultural Society to call a special
meeting this week to discuss the propo-
sition and to take steps against it.

Next Monday, a meeting of the F. H.
B. will be held in Washington and E.
R. Barber, former United States entomol-
ogist, was selected by the Horticultural
Society to go to the capital and appear
before the board at that time in behalf
of the local growers to show cause why
the proposed quarantine should not be in-
stituted. R. T. Hobson, local State en-
tomologist of the State Agricultural Bu-
reau, is also expected to appear before
the commission in the interest of the
growers in other parts of the State. Mr.
Bai-ber left for Washington Friday
night.

The camphor scale quarantine, if it
goes into effect, will put numbers, of grow-
ers of Rubber plants and Aspidistras all
over the State entirely out of business,
for these men practically grow nothing
beyond these two plants, which they ship
regularly to the Northern and Eastern
markets. Seedsmexx in the city who take
orders and ship many plants out of the
State, will also suffer heavily on account
of the quarantine.

The strictest attention is being paid to
all laws and regulations regarding the
tending, spraying and fumigation of
plants in this district, the Horticultural
Society contends, and the law under these
circumstances is an injustice to the grow-
ers. The camphor scale, even if it is
carried out of the State, will not last in
the northern climate and will immediate-
ly die out, so there is no chance of spread-
ing the scale, it is stated. Local horticul-
turists express themselves as being satis-
fied that the outcome will be favorable
and even if the entire quarantine is not
taken off, a greater part is expected to
be. C. J. M.

Flexible Tariff Provisions

(Continued on page 1402)
"As far as I can make out, it is going
to be a very difficult matter for anyone
to secure changes in the rates, generally
speaking. In the cases of the seeds re-
ferred to, it will be incumbent upon the
applicants to prove conclusively that like
domestic seeds are overprotected by
the tariff and that the duties assessed
upon imports under the new law are
higher than are warranted by the differ-
ence in the cost of production at home
and abroad. The probability is that most
of the investigations into cost of pro-
duction will show, if anything, a need for
higher rates of duty even though actual
practices in the trade would not war-
rant an increase. The Tariff Commis-
sion has no leeway — it must follow strict-
ly the letter of the law.

"I am informed that students of the
tariff declare that if the law had been
written so that the investigations would
be on the basis of competitive conditions,
rather than on the actual cost of produc-
tion, decreases or increases could be
made regardless of differences exist-
ing between the cost of produc-
tion at home and abroad. 'Cost of pro-
duction' is only one factor in 'competi-
tive conditions.' There are cases where
American manufacturers and producers
are really entitled to higher protection
than is afforded them under the law, but
where it cannot be shown because pro-
duction cost data operate against them.
"Limited to the consideration of the
cost of production, without regard to
any other factors, the Tariff Commis-
sion may find its hands so badly tied
that the flexible tariff provisions of the
law will be operative only to a minor
degree." C. L. Linz.

The Market

Toward the latter end of last week,
business picked up very materially. Sat-
urday found most of the wholesalers
about cleaned up. Roses are not quite
so plentiful. Chrysanthemums, we learn,
will not be with us much longer ; the
usual glut has come and gone. Even the
late varieties will finish up earlier than
usual on account of the warm weather.
Callas are still scarce ; Orchids, Gar-
denias and double Violets, are on the
short side too. Plenty of Asparagus and
Smilax. Paperwhite Narcissus have
dropped in price.

Club Meeting

The November meeting of the Flo-
rists Club of Baltimore was held in club
rooms on the 13th, with about 30 mem-
bers, answering to the roll call, Presi-
dent Robert W. Johnston in the chair.
John J. Perry was secretary pro tern
in absence of Robt. Tate Patterson, who
was kept at home, on account of illness.
The members were invited to hear a
lecture by Mr. Beasley of the Maryland
State Forestry Commission, who enter-
tained us with a most interesting and
instructive talk on the aims and work
of the commission. Many fine views
were shown by means of lantern slides.
A vote of thanks was accorded the
speaker.

President Johnston appointed the fol-
lowing committee to act for the ensuing

i year : Membership — Joseph S. Merritt,
chairman, J. J. Cummings, Jr., Henry J.
Betz, Harry Wagner. Entertainment —
Wm. F. Bauer, chairman, Howard I.
Moss, William F. Ekas, Robert L.
Graham, Jr., Geo. A. Eberle. Finance —
Albert G. Fiedler, chairman, Wm. J.

• Johnston, Isaac H. Moss, John J. Perry,
Fred C. Bauer. Activity— H. Clay
Primrose, chairman.

The annual club dinner, to the incom-
ing officers will be postponed until after
the holidays, probably an early date in
January. Date and place is left to the
committee. The holding of a Spring
flower show was discussed and laid over
until the next meeting. R. H.

FRITZ BAHR'S

Commercial Floriculture

The Sensation of the Day

FROM A GOOD FRIEND
IN BALTIMORE, MD.

Have you read Fritz Bahr's book? No? Well, an intimate
friend of a friend of ours, who is a distinguished friend of
Cousin Johnnie Rider, told us that "a man not reading
and making a study from cover to cover of this great master
book, is standing directly in his own light." Get a copy,
say I, read it over and over again. Take our word for it,
or, if you want further local endorsement, ask Harry Beard,
Charlie Osol, Jack Eissele, Willie Ekas, Mr. Holden, John
Schaefer, Charlie Hochstedt, Mr. Babikow, or any of the
other boys who know a book when they see it. They
prize this one above all other cultural works on paper
today.

Fellow told us the other day he "hadn't any time to read."
We replied, "It's a pity — but just you put your monocle
in your face and direct one eye on the pages of "Commercial
Floriculture," grasp the wonderfully put together cultural
notes expressed in plain, everyday language that is under-
standable to everybody, and the other interesting features
of the work of such inestimable value to every florist, and it
won't be long before you'll have both lenses working over-
time."

May I say that I find The Florists Exchange most interesting, particu-
larly "The Week's Work" and the Nursery Department. And, again, both
Fritz Bahr and yourselves are to be congratulated on the production of
"Commercial Floriculture." I have hoped for some time to find a book
as good as the old Scott's "Florist's Manual," but brought uptodate, and now
you have it.

North Dartmouth, Mass. Raymond A. Pettet.

Mr. Pettey represents the type of florist for whose benefit "Commer-
cial Floriculture" was primarily conceived.

Thus it is evident that the new book is appreciated by the expert as
well as by the grower who has much to learn.

Marines Corner Chrysanthemum Mar-
ket for that Army Game

"Florists of New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington have a diffi-
cult order to fill. The Marines, famous
in war and football, have ordered 5000
Chrysanthemums to be delivered the
morning of Dec. 2 in Baltimore. These
Chrysanthemums must be of large size
and red and yellow — the Marine colors be-
ing maroon and old gold.

"A red Chrysanthemum and a yellow
Chrysanthemum will be given to each lady
of the Marine party, and it is expected
there will be 2,500 of those ladies sitting
in the Marine section at the big foot-
ball game with the Army in Venable Sta-
dium.

"That is one feature already arranged
to make the Marine-Army game the col-
orful athletic event of the season."

And we learn from one of our promi-
nent wholesale men that Baltimore has
received part of the above order.

Vernon E. Dorrett, the popular young-
ster with Joe Merritt, is a hustling boy.
He has cornered the Potato market down
in old Anne Arundel County: "Bought
up all the spuds in his region, says Joe.

Pink and White Salvias

Early in the year The Exchange re-
ported the advent of salmon pink and
white Salvias. At the R. H. S. meeting,
late in October, a salmon-pink Salvia and
a pure white form were shown under the
respective names of Lord Lascelles and
Princess Mary.

Were these originated in England, and
if so, why wait until so late in the season
before, showing them? If imported from
the United States, were these names ap-
plied by request?

In any case, it would seem that the
pink and white Salvias were first brought
to public notice here.

The Florists Exchange!

Washington, D. C.

A change in the weather put "pep"
into the local flower business. Last
week, up to Saturday, was draggy and
there was an oversupply of everything',
including Roses. Then came a change in
the situation and telephone orders began
to come here from Baltimore and Phila-
delphia seeking supplies of Roses. On
Saturday afternoon there was a genuine
shortage and the wholesalers found
themselves cleaned out completely. Cold
weather made its appearance on Tues-
day, and all flowers tightened up con-
siderably.

American Beauty Roses remain at
$7.50 to $9, and at no time is there an
oversupply. Orchids are particularly
scarce and there are many orders that
cannot be filled at $1S per doz. Lily of
the Valley is selling at $8 per 100. Car-
nations are improving in quality, and
some very fine Laddie and Ward are
coming into the market.

The Summer season was much, ex-
tended this year and as a result Chrysan-
themums came in ahead of their time.
Now most of the early varieties are
cut out and the later ones have made
their appearance. This means that they
also will come - to an end in advance of
the usual date for the close of their sea-
son.

There has been a great oversupply of
bunch Chrysanthemums this year. Due,
it is charged, to this fact and that the
quality was not as good as it should have
been, low prices generally have prevailed
on the ordinary varieties.

A few Easter Lilies found a market
during the week and calls for Snap-
dragon are increasing.

The wholesalers are beginning to make
displays of roping, Ruscus and Immor-
telles in advance of the Christmas holi-
day season, but orders will not be placed
to any extent until after the end of this
month.

"William F. Gude on Nov. 15 was the
host to the members of the Washington
Rotary Club and their ladies at a lunch-
eon staged at the greenhouses of Gude
Bros. Co. in northeast Washington. A
very elaborate menu was provided for
the guests who numbered approximately
200. Afterward the regular weekly meet-
ing of the club was held, and later the
guests were escorted in groups through
the greenhouses. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Arthur Marks, vice-presi-
dent of the local organization, and an
interesting feature was a brief talk by
Motosaku Tsuchiya, introduced as one
of the most active Rotarians in Japan.

Miss Wilhelmina Gude, younger
daughter of the host, won much ap-
plause by her dialect recitations and
Robert Lawrence and the Rotary Glee
Club rendered several enjoyable selec-
tions. Several telegrams of congratula-
tion to Mr. Gude were read from the
Paterson Rotary Club and the Florists
Telegraph Delivery Association. In re-
sponse Mr. Gude thanked his guests and
led the way on a tour of the houses.
Rotary florists within a radius of 500
miles of Washington were invited to at-
tend this meeting ; a number of those
from nearby cities responded.

A sequel of the above affair was a
lengthy interview with Mr. Gude, illus-
trated with his portrait, and occupying
nearly three columns of the Washington
Post of Nov. 19. In addition to giving
a complete "Who's Who" account of
Mr. Gude, and a sketch of his busy ca-
reer, the article gave voice to many of
his interesting pertinent conclusions on
timely matters, and some important facts
about the florist business as he sees it.

Otto Bauer, manager of the local store
of the S. S. Pennock Co., was recently
host to a number of guests at his Sum-
mer home at Mayo, Md. The party,
which included Milton Thomas, Milton
Redman and John Remmy, motored to
Mayo Saturday night, returning to
Washington the following Monday morn-
ing. An old-time oyster roast was the
feature of the trip.

Home lawns and gardens in Bast
Brookland have been raided by a shrub-
bery thief. At one place the thief stole
three imported Japanese Cedar Trees.
These were uprooted and carted away
in a wheelbarrow that also was stolen.
Another report was of the theft of a
Norwegian Spruce Tree. The shrubbery
thief works under cover of darkness. He
takes roots and all with him, and he
generally removes a good deal of the
root covering soil to protect his spoils.

Along the Hudson

Poughkeepsie, N. Y.

If one could only sell Dutch bulbs along
about: Easter time, what a nice trade one
could work up. It is so very hard for
the average man to visualize the finished
flower from the hard, brown bulb. Real-
izing this, Murphy and Shaumberg have
secured some very good imitation cloth
flowers and have put a vase of each kind
in the middle of the bulbs producing that
kind of flower. It makes a very striking
arrangement, and doubtless sells hundreds
of extra bulbs. Mr. Shaumberg said that
business was good with lots of funeral
work.

"Red hot and getting hotter," was the
reply of Conrad C. Gindra when asked
how business was. The thing that im-
pressed one here was the general cleanli-
ness of greenhouses and stock which al-
ways betokens a good grower. Every
inch of space is filled as will be realized
when it is noticed that in one narrow
bench there are planted four rows of
Carnations, two rows of Vincas, two rows
of Freesias and one row of Gladioli. Mr.
Gindra pointed out to your correspond-
ent, a plant of Turner 'Mum carrying one
branch having a fine flower of pure white
and another branch bearing a lavender
flower. This, of course, is a freak, but
there must be some cause for this. Can
scientists tell us why?

In the course of a discussion of the fuel
question, Mr. Gindra mentioned that
some years ago he had had an oil burn-
er for his greenhouse, but it was not
satisfactory. This year, however, he has
installed a tank and burner for his house
furnace and he cannot praise it too high-
ly. It is simply a matter of regulating
it as the weather changes. The oil com-
pany keeps tabs on his tank and all he
has to do is pay the bills.

We were attracted to the store of the
Saltford Flower Soop by the attractive
window which is always a feature of this
place. When asked about business, Mr.
Saltford said: "Good; just like it always
is." And the atmosphere of quiet haste
which pervaded the store bore out his
statement. In the few moments between
customers we learned that at the green-
houses they have a good supply of coal,
but of a quality that might be improved
upon. Just why the railroads claim they
can't deliver egg coal, yet keep on run-
ning in so many cars of soft, pea and
buckwheat, is the great riddle of this
district.

From Saltford's we journeyed to the
Arcade Florists where we had a pleas-
ant talk with Mr. Reidinger. Situated
on the main business corner of the city,
he does a large business, especially with
popular priced flowers and plants. Pough-
keepsie is a good flower buying city, prin-
cipally because there are so many flo-
rists who make it easy to buy flowers. Mr.
Reidinger told us of a feature he has
been making, a colonial bouquet that
hangs from the arm, and which was the
big hit at the recent American Legion
ball.

Kingston, N. Y.

The Burgevin boys are as busy _ as
ever this Fall. It matters not what time
of day one enters the shop, there is al-
ways a pile of boxes for shipment or de-
livery and always plenty of flowers in the
vases on the floor. The ice chest is little
used here because each day's cut of flow-
ers is used as it comes along; there are
no hangovers. In fact, they don't seem
to be able to grow enough stock in their
27 greenhouses and work has already been
started on four new Rose houses, each
. 50ft.x300ft. Any florist wishing to see
a complete establishment growing literal-
ly everything in large quantities will do
well to journey to Kingston.

Up till several weeks ago Burgevin's
were the only florists in Kingston. Going
up Broadway one morning, however, we
were surprised to see a neat sign swing-
ing out at the corner of St. James St.,
announcing "The Flower Shop." Inside
we found everything neat and fresh and
well appointed and presided _ over by B.
Jacobs, who was formerly with Acheson,
the Florist, of Pittsfield, Mass. Mr. Jac-
obs has been in the growing end of the
business and knows good stock when he
sees it as was evidenced by the stock he
was offering to the public. He is evi-
dently on the right track and, there be-
ing plenty of room for two florists in
Kingston, we see no reason why he should
not make good.

Rhinebeck, N. Y.

There has been but little doing in the
Violet town since our last letter. The
retail florists have been busy with funeral
work and a good general trade. The
Violet situation has improved but little,
and hardly any flowers are going to the
markets. The shippers to the retail trade
have all had large orders for Violets for
football games and it has been a scramble
to get flowers enough to fill the orders.
Good flowers demand high prices and held
stock brings enough to satisfy most any
one. It is earnestly hoped that there will
be more flowers after Thanksgiving in
order to ease up the situation a trifle,
but from all reports, the buds are not
showing up very plentifully.

Buffalo, N. Y.

Trade Notes

Stock in general is rather scarce
at present. Demand being greater the
last few weeks, results in a cleanup of
the market rather early in the morning.
For a few days it seemed almost impos-
sible to get Roses. Chrysanthemums are
not any too plentiful. Carnations are
very fine now ; some Valley is coming in.
Pompon and Single 'Mums in great va-
riety are much appreciated. Large
Daisy-like flowers in shades of rose,
henna, bronze, yellow and white, all lend
their beauty to the floral shops. Large
flowered sorts are gorgeous.

The wholesale market prices are quite
reasonable ; Cecil Brunner Roses cost
2c. to 3c; Scott Keys, 8c. to 25c; Co-
lumbia, 4c. to 20c. ; Ophelias, 4c to 10c,
and Butterfly, 6c. to 15c Chrysanthe-
mums Bonnaffon range from 8c to 40c
Carnations 3c and 4c each.

The McCallum and Kasting houses are
selling very good stocks, though they
could handle more. The dark days are
with us in Buffalo and nearby towns,
which aggravates the shortage.

News Notes

The South Park Conservatory has
a wonderful show this week. It is one
of the best ever displayed and embraces
large Wm. Turner, Wilcox, Bonnaffon,
Marquese, Lockwood and many other va-
rieties too numerous to mention. The
show is much enjoyed by all who visit
it.

Barney Meyers, of the Lancaster
Palmer's Greenhouse, has been visiting
New York City. He will soon return,
being a very busy man these days.

Miss Bessie Bellanca of Colonial
Flower Shop has just returned from
a trip to New York City. She is a
very enthusiastic worker for the musical
arts this season, having many friends
among them. Movie pictures are shown
at her pretty shop at evening, display-
ing floral pictures. Musical art is also
a feature, giving enjoyment to many.

Society Doings

The first of the bi-monthly mee'
ings of the society was held on the 14t
instant. The committee on plans for thi
June show, 1923, at the time of the Gar-
den Club of America convention, through
the chairman reports but slight encour-
agement in the way of exhibits from the
estates of the Summer residents.

Treasurer Richard Gardner started, a
big discussion on the effect of the scion
on the stock, and of the stock's effect on
the graft, quoting from The Florists Ex-
change's reprint from the Gardener's
Chronicle. London, on "Cratffigo Mespilus
Asnieresii," and hybrids, m issue of Nov.
4, page 1213. Said article certainly fur-
nishes food for thought. There appears
to be much in grafting which is, as yet,
but imperfectly understood.

Arrangements are being made for the
society's annual meeting which will be
held on Dec. 12.

The Florists Exchange

Toronto, Ont.

Retail Florists Club Meeting

The regular meeting of the Toronto
Retail Florists Club was held on Nov. 13,
with the president, George M. Geraghty,
in the chair, and a large attendance.

The Royal Winter Fair was discussed,
and it was decided to take a booth and
arrange it in the form of a model store
with a telegraph outfit in position, illumi-
nated poles, etc. The committee in charge
are G. M. Geraghty, Miss Riggal, H.
James, L. Waters and J. A. Neal. The
general floral building is being decorated
with Cedars, Bay and Boxwood Trees.

A discussion of advertising took place,
and it was almost unanimously decided to
again take up cooperative Chirstmas ad-
vertising. J. A. Neal was appointed
treasurer of the advertising fund.

At the conclusion of the business ses-
sion progressive euchre was enjoyed, the
prize winers of the evening being Mrs.
Moore and Chas. Cooper. In addition
to the prizes given at each meeting, six
grand prizes will be given at the end of
the season to the three ladies and three
gentlemen making the highest aggregate
scores during the season.

The new president, G. M. Geraghty, en-
tertained the members at a sumptuous
supper.

F. T. D. News Notes

The Toronto members of the F. T. D.
find that telegraph business is growing.
It is the intention to hold a meeting of
the members at some date when F. J.
Ammann can attend. The success of the
meeting at London will, it is hoped, be
duplicated when the Toronto members get
together.

Toronto Trade Improving

The Peoples Florists are finding
trade steadily improving;. There has been
a steady flow of F. T. D. orders, both in-
coming and outgoing across the border,
as well as within it. There have been
many orders for design work during the
past few weeks.

S. E. Grove, Danforth ave., is featuring
pottery in one of his windows. These are
imported from English and American
makers, and make a fine display. Mr.
Grove finds a ready sale for these from
buyers of flowers, bulb bowls selling es-
pecially well at this time of the year.

J. A. Neal is quite pleased with the
quality of the stock he has been receiving
during the. last fortnight. He has been
announcing a special each Saturday, and
finds that these sales bring good business.
He has a steady demand for design work,
and supplied some of the desigus which
were placed on the cenotaph in front of
the City Hall, on Nov. 11.

G. M. Geraghty showed The Exchange
some choice 'Mums, some of which were
grown at Richmond Hill. Dunlops sup-
plied some designs for the cenotaph. Mr.
Geraghty said that in each city, such as
Montreal and Toronto, these cenotaphs
were erected, and some exceedingly beau-
tiful and apropriate designs were placed
thereon by officials of various bodies and
by individuals to show our appreciation
of the work done by our soldiers in Eu-
rope During the past fortnight, the
deaths of several prominent men have
resulted in madeup work, both extensive
and beautiful. The designs were by vari-
ous florists throughout the city, and were
a credit to them both in workmanship and
quality of stock.

Tidy & Son have had a number of wed-
ding orders recently for which the decora-
tions have been beautiful, and have sev-
eral more booked. They are showing some
beautiful large 'Mums. Stock is plentiful
and sales are on the incease.
. The Arcade Florist has made several
improvements in his store, a new lar°-e
refrigerator being one of the additions.
AH the design work is done upstairs, and
a communicating .system has been installed
between store and workroom

J. Berg of Lyon & Co., the ribbon
house, was m Toronto recently.

Chas. Cooper reports business fair, with
prospects ot good trade for the remainder
ot the

. Leonard Waters thinks the 'Mums be-
ing delivered are as fine as ever pro-
duced. At the Market store Waters has
been showing large quantities of Baby
Mums and Pompons. The East End store
had a good decoration for the local Ki-
wanis recently.

Mrs. Percy Waters, Danforth ave., has
had a beautiful window during the 'Mum
season. Starting with Baby 'Mums in the
foreground, the window was a mass of
bloom, reaching to the ceiling with the
huge blooms at the top.

Horticulture in Canada

Conducted by W. E. Groves, Hamilton, Ont.

Plant Registration

FOR several years a few Canadian enthusiasts have been dreaming of a day when
there would be established in Canada a system of plant registration that would
be an inspiration to plant breeders as well as protective in character. Some years
ago the Canadian Florists and Gardeners Association appointed a registration committee
to consider the question and report. This band of workers, under the chairmanship of
Henry J. Moore, Ontario Provincial Forester and an old Kewite, who also saw service
at Cornell, has plodded along during the intervening years developing a public opinion
where possible, gathering all the available data, and faithfully reporting at each recur-
ring convention. It is but plain justice in this connection to" record the fact that Mr.
Moore by his enthusiasm, his self-denying work and his abiding faith in the project has
done more than any other person in the Dominion to bring about the result already
achieved. For plant registration in Canada is now definitely established.

Canadian Horticultural Council Takes It Up

When, a few months ago, the C. H. C. appointed a further committee under the
guidance of Dominion Horticulturist W. T. Macoun to prepare a definite scheme, the
work already accomplished made possible speedy results. At a meeting of the directors
held this week the stage of definite accomplishment was reached and the scheme put
into operation.

It should be said that in preparing their report the committee have had the ad-
vantage of data secured both in Great Britain and the United States, the assistance
received from leading horticulturists and plant originators across the border being of
great value. A whole day was given to the consideration of the report presented and
it was finally approved. The substance of the important clauses follows, and in view of
the fact that applications for registration are already in view from the United States
this early publication of the chief features may be of interest. Since it is now the rule
rather than the exception for such societies as the American Gladiolus Society to hold
occasionally their annual meetings in Canada, it is still more necessary for our friends
across the line to become acquainted with the scheme under consideration.

Some Details of the System

The Registration Committee appointed by the C. H. C. will name a Provincial
representative foi and in each Province; also separate committees for special classes
such as Gladioli, Roses, Peonies, etc.

The first step is recording, which does not establish the particular value or general
characteristic of any new plant, but is designed to settle the right of priority of the name.
The committee reserves the right to conduct investigations and if satisfied that the plant
is worthy of registration such registration shall indicate that the plant is considered of
outstanding merit. Any variety that is new may be recorded, but to secure the benefit
of registration the introduction must be tested and proved to be of real merit.

The fees are $5 for applications from Canada and $10 from points outside the
Dominion.

Applications go, in the first place, to the Provincial representative who, having
passed his opinion, will forward a full description and specimens if possible to the
Dominion Horticulturist. He in turn will place the application with all the information
obtainable before the registration committee, whose decision shall be. final.

Forms are to be prepared which when filed will give concisely all necessary informa-
tion such as name, description, and conditions of distribution; provision will also be
made for permanently tabulating every record made. As a foundation for the important
work of registration a card index is to be prepared and maintained in the office of the
secretary; this to give the complete name and description of every known plant, shrub
or tree. This important record will be the first of its kind in Canada and on that account
alone will be peculiarly valuable. All new applications will be cheeked up against it.

International Registration Regulations

The registration committee, in arranging for this record, has detailed the manner
in which the records are to be kept, providing for rulings, columns, etc. which will cor-
respond with the method adopted by the International Plant Registration Bureau.
It is interesting to remember that the chief horticultural associations of Great Britain,
France, Italy, Holland and Belgium have formed themselves into an International
Federation of Professional Horticulturists. Membership in this federation will make
available for Canada the findings of European investigators. When this federation
becomes practically worldwide — as it surely will in the near future — many of the diffi-
culties of plant nomenclature will be done away with as well as the unreasonable and
quite unnecessary multiplication of varieties that are practically synonymous.

Provision is also made for the proper entry in catalogs of all new plants; this to
include the name of the registrant for at least three years from the date on which the
plant was put on the market. One condition of registration requires the applicant to
exhibit the production at a show approved by the committee. There are some penalties
for non-compliance with the conditions, but it is expected that the plan proposed will
work smoothly, and little difficulty is anticipated.

Government Cooperation

The Federal Minister of Agriculture when approached on the matter showed
much interest in and sympathy with the proposition. It is confidently expected that
government assistance will be forthcoming to materially help finance the project, while
there will be the added advantage of having all the influence of the Department at the
back of the effort. Canadian growers are elated at the final success of their long efforts
and fully agree with one of the leading horticulturists of America in the statement that
"the step taken would advance horticulture more than any other thing which has oc-
curred during this century. Registration as conceived will take plant breeding out of
the class of hopeless, unprofitable professions and put it where it belongs, amongst those
which render to society. the most lasting and productive benefits— one upon which the
future beauty of our flower gardens and the wealth of our orchards and fields depend."

W. E. GROVES

supply. The 'Mums this year have been
of good quality and plentiful. The Royal
Winter Fair is rather late for a real good
flower show, but a presentable exhibition
of flowers will be made. The retail florists
are cooperating in laying out and erecting
the decorations.

There was a wreck on the line from
Brampton on Saturday, and florists who
were depending on Brampton growers for
their Saturday supply of flowers went
rather short until late afternoon, when
deliveries were made.

Haileybury Fire

Much sympathy is being felt by To-
ronto florists for 60-year-old R. Whorley
of Haileybury, who lost his nursery stock,
greenhouses, store and house in the big
fire which swept the North recently. His
loss was at least $33,000, including house,
$5000; greenhouses, tools, etc., $20,000; and
store and stock, $8000. The nursery cov-
ered 28 town lots, the six greenhouses
each being 65ft.xl50ft. The store is a
mile from the nursery. The two sons were
also cleaned out. Three new houses for
Carnations, Roses and 'Mums were erect-
ed this Spring, and all had been planted,
1400 'Mums having been set out the day
of the fire. The Carnations were just
beginning to bloom. Mr. Whorley's eldest
son is working at the Dale Estate, Bramp-
ton, for the Winter.

Registration Plan Prospects

In talking about the Plant Registration
program and the meeting in Ottawa at which
it was generally approved, and the value
of registration, H. J. Moore recently told
The Exchange representative that the
scheme will prove of the greatest benefit
not only to Canada, but to all the horti-
cultural world. It is important to the
amateur, the professional grower, the nur-
seryman and the seedsman.

He cited an instance of interest. Some
time ago a thief entered the premises of
a florist and stole nine large Petunias,
root stem and everything. The seeds of
this variety were worth more than fine
gold, and the value of the plants was esti-
mated at $1000. The flowers of these nine
plants were 5%in. across. They were semi-
double and of a beautiful rose pink. The
lower petals were reflex or bent back,
which made the variety unique, and yet,
should the florist recognize the plant on
the market he could not claim it, for his
word is only as good as that of the thief.
Under a plant registration system the
plant would have been registered. If the
thief also attempted registration, his guilt
would have been detected.

Plant registration may be likened to
patenting an invention of value. Mar-
velous things have been propagated and
disseminated by unworthy men who have
given names to the subjects and made
fortunes out of them. Plant registration
will stop this exploitation, and the origi-
nator will be rewarded for his work.

Registration will stop duplication of
names. Seeds, bushes, shrubs, flowering
and decorative plants will be sold true
to name. The market standard will be
raised. There are many scrupulous and
reliable seedsmen and nurserymen who
desire to see this system of registration
established.

In a report made by Mr. Moore at one
of the G. and F. A. conventions, he said:
"Your committee desires to acknowledge its
indebtedness to The Flokists Exchange
for the many excellent and useful excerpts
from its pages, especially those referring
to plant registration."

It is of interest to note that since the
appointment of a committee in 1915, the
Canadian Florists and Gardeners Associa-
tion has worked continuously at this task.
Now, as then proposed, the vegetable and
fruit men have been interested in the
proposal and under the Canadian Horti-
cultural Council, which represents all
these branches, the successful culmination
of their efforts is in sight. G. C. K.

Nov. 21. — The results of attractive win-
dow displays, be it in the large depart-
mental stores or the humble florists,

the time of writing brings out crowds of
people to see and be seen; then it is
that irresistible display of goods in the
windows does the trick. Stock is fairly
plentiful; 'Mums are not arriving in such
large shipments as in former years.

Seasonable Hints

Avoid Carrying Doubtful Stock

This is the time of the year when one
can usually tell whether a crop of Car-
nations, Snapdragons, Roses, Poinsettias,
or, for that matter, almost anything else,
carried for some time past in the houses,
will amount to enough to pay for the space
it takes up, or whether things look doubt-
ful. Even with the best of care and at-
tention things occasionally will go wrong
and nine times out of ten, it is better
to throw out sick or stunted stock and re-
fill the bench or benches with something
else, than to try to nurse it back into
health. We know all kinds of remedies
for diseases but, usually, the time it takes
for a plant to get over the effects of the
trouble, is more valuable than what you
get out of the plant afterward. Don't
make the mistake of wasting time with
nursing; rather replace sick stock with
healthy plants: a catch crop of something.
Forget about what you throw out and pay
attention to what you plant instead. You
can hardly mention a single plant or
flower which when well grown, won't
bring a good price. It doesn't matter
what it is so long as it is well done.
Carry assets on the benches, not liabili-
ties.

White Hawk Tulips

You Want Some Next Easter

The average florist hardly ever uses
more than a half dozen or so varieties
of early Tulips for forcing under glass.
While we can sift the most desirable
down to that number, taking the cost
of the bulbs into consideration, there
are quite a number of others well de-
serving attention. Among these White
Hawk should be included; it is a pure
white Tulip of good size and form and
while well adapted for early forcing, it
is especially desirable and- valuable for
Easter and at its best when not forced
too hard. For nest Easter which falls
on the first of April a good sized batch
is bound to prove a paying investment
for those who grow for retailing. Avoid
planting in flats less than 3in. deep and
allow a little space between the bulbs.
Flats containing 50 or 60 bulbs are
plenty large enough. Carry the flats
outdoors. With the soil in the flats
always kept moist and a good covering
; above you can forget about them until
the 28th of February. Bring them to a
cool house about that time; place be-
low a bench and let them come along
slowly. In that way you will not only
obtain long stems, fine foliage, but ex-
cellent flowers. Grow a few in pans,
but the most of them you will want for
cutting and when they are good, they
will sell as well as anything you have
to offer.

Thanksgiving

Push Plants as Well as Cut Flowers

With Thanksgiving falling on the last
day of the month this year there is apt
to be a shortage on Chrysanthemums,
especially the Pompon and other small
flowering sorts. With the average retail
grower a week earlier or later in No-
vember makes quite a difference. If
you have plenty, well and good; on the
other hand, if you haven't, why not push
plants a little more? Low basket ar-
rangements or made up dishes and pans
and anything suitable for table decora-
tions. There are always occasions where,
in case you happen to be short on
Chrysanthemums, something else may be
made to do. The thing is to get ready
for it in time. Begonias, Cyclamen and
Primulas in bloom are with us again
and the smaller sizes used with Aspara-
gus plumosus or table ferns will make
attractive pans. Nor is it too early to
use Winter berries and Boxwood. Get
ready for a big demand and what is
left over in the way of plants you
have to buy, will come in handy for

A Good Investment for the Retail Grower

Few investments the average local florist of a town can make will yield
better returns than the planting of 1 2in. to 1 5in. Norway Spruce. They
will actually grow into money while you sleep, but don't make the mistake
of planting 2000 and let it go at that. Plant some each Spring and keep
it up; in a few years the first will be ready to be used as Christmas trees,
which is only one of the many uses you can put them to.

Order your stock from the nurseryman riow, to be delivered for plant-
ing next Spring, and get the land ready. No manure, but deep cultivation,
is what is needed.

Christmas week. From now on push
plants, but that doesn't say not to carry
a good assortment of cut flowers. But
a shortage of them is best overcome by
having a good assortment of flowering
plants to choose from at all times.

Pansies

A Good Catch Crop

If anything should happen to a lot
of plants on the benches now, Pansies
are among the plants to consider as a
crop to follow. Not only that, but if
strong stock is made use of, you won't

use of in the most home grounds, the cut
green of it does not mean as much to
the florist as is the case with so many
of us who depend on the green to be
shipped in. We use this green from
now on all through the Winter months.
We use it every day and many times.
Asparagus or other expensive green can
be replaced by it, ' therefore it pays to
always carry a good supply on hand.
In a hot dry place, Boxwood will go
to pieces and become worthless in a few
hours, but when stored away in a dark,
cold place with their stems either in
%vater or in moist sand or soil, you can

Eleventh Annual Chrysanthemum Show of the University of Illinois held at the Floricul-
tural Department Greenhouses in Urbana, 1H., Nov. 12 to 15

have to wait very long for returns.
There is always a way to make use of
Pansies in the retail store and nothing
quite like it when you can cut them
yourself. Still another advantage is
that they can get along nicely in the
same house with Violets or Mignonette.
Give them a good soil, a cool house and
plenty of sun and they will thrive. Maybe
you have a good lot of plants outdoors
and even if you have no use for them
at present, why not protect them so as
to be able to get at them at any time
during the Winter in case you do wish
to plant some on a bench or solid bed.
You can lift Pansies with a foot of
frozen earth and they will come out
all right if thawed slowly after you get
them inside, but a better way is to
avoid it and a little protection will do
it. Don't overlook the English Daisies;
these, too, can be made to pay by the
retail grower during Winter and early
Spring when flowered under glass. You
will find plenty of occasions to use the
flowers to advantage.

Cut Boxwood

How Not to Waste It

In sections of the country where Box-
wood is hardy and the plants are made

keep, it in perfect shape tor a long time.
Don't wait until the week before Christ-
mas before you purchase your wants;
do so now. Tie the branches in bunches,
large enough to hold in one hand, the
end of the stems all even and heel into
a coldframe either in sand or soil, give
a good watering and then cover the
frame with sashes and boards on top
of the sashes. If you like, you can cover
the tops with dry leaves; this won't
hurt the green and help to keep frost
out. In that way you can keep what
isn't used in perfect condition up to
next March. Whenever you bring in a
few benches to be used the green will
be as fresh as when you received it first.
Give it a trial.

Snowberry (Symphoricarpus)

Of Usefulness to the Florist

The average florist should become far
better acquainted with shrubs and es-
pecially those grown on account of their
showy flowers or berries. While there
are a good many, there are, after all,
only a couple of dozen which today lead.
Among these we find the Symphoricar-
pus of which there is a white and a red
berried variety. The former is usually
called Snowberry. This shrub will

thrive in places too shady foil other
shrubs, but to see it at its best, you
want it in full sunlight. A good sized
row planted out in the open and rather
severely pruned back each Spring will
furnish each year from September on
into December graceful branches covered
with white berries, just the thing to go
with flowers in a basket arrangement
or to be used in a floral wreath or other
design work. You can get along with-
out them, but when you once get into
the habit of using them, you will won-
der how you ever got along before. The
wholesale grower has no use for them,
but there are lots of other things not
very interesting to him which to. the
man with a retail trade means a whole
lot. Oftimes, a few branches of Snow-
berries will not only improve the looks
of an arrangement, but save other by
far more expensive material. Plant a
few now or next Spying.

Carnations

The plants hioused during the past
Summer should be the best possible
shape by this time and ready to pro-
duce long stemmed flowers of good size
and which, as we go on, will improve.
Keep the flowering stems free from all
lateral growth and don't wait with dis-
budding until the main bud is ready to
open.' No matter what it costs to sup-
port the plants properly, it is cheaper
by far than to run the chance of ob-
taining crooked stems. If the soil in the
benches has settled down more than an
inch or so below the edge of the benches,
a light topdressing of good soil should
be applied and if you can lightly culti-
vate the soil before tliia is done, so
much the better. But avoid injuring
the' roots which may have formed near
the surface. There is nothing like keep-
ing the surface of the soil lightly stirred
up for another month. After that, or
say from the end of December on, this
is no longer necessary. I have seen some
mighty fine Carnations which had a
mulch of well decayed manure on the
benches from the first of January on up
to Easter. If your soil was good" at the
housing, the plants usually can get along
and often are better off without feed-

ciated by those who live in that section
of the city.

Persistent rumors have come this way
that W. Hall, who recently sold his re-
tail store, will shortly build a large range
of greenhouses. I am told he has se-
cured the land necessary. "Will" is a
pushing young man; we wish him the best
of success in whatever he undertakes.

Something in the shape and stature of
a man called recently on Mrs. Hill,_ the
Rosery florist, who, by the way, is a
widow with a blind daughter, ordered $12
worth of Roses to be sent C. 0. D. to a
certain apartment house as a birthday
gift to his wife. When the boy arrived
with the parcel, this person met the boy
at the door, told him to wait there
while he went in his rooms to get the
money and then decamped from the back
entrance. This trick was repeated when
a messenger arrived with four expensive

Trade Notes

A visit to the various New Haven
flower shops indicates that our florists
realize the importance of keeping pace
with the rapid growth of our city. _ Many
improvements have been made this Fall
in the re-decoration of the stores. More
elaborate and expensive window displays
are in evidence and there is every indica-
tion that the florist business is in pros-
perous condition.

The football game between the Army
and Yale, with an attendance of 90,000
people, created a considerable demand for
flowers, particularly Violets. Bouquets of
the latter, 50 in a bunch at §2 were popu-
lar and the stock was entirely cleaned up.
Florists are ordering heavily in antici-
pation of a great demand for flowers for
the big Yale-Harvard game next Satur-
day, Nov. 25.

There is a movement on foot, as usual,
to have our traffic department route
more automobiles through the center of
the city instead of diverting them to the
Yale Bowl by way of the outskirts of
the city. If the six to eight thousand
visiting automobiles were allowed to drive
through the business section, a rich har-
vest would be reaped by our merchants.
There was also an attempt to stop the
itinerant street pedlars from vending
cheap Violets; a committee of three flo-
rists called on the police dept. in refer-
ence to it, but learned that there was
no way to stop them.

As usual, Coombs Flower Shop, are
planning an elaborate display for the
game. Munro also displays some fine
arrangements in his capacious window.

Chas. M. Myers has increased the size
of his window and has dolls dressed to
represent both the Yale and Harvard
teams arranged on a minature football
field. It attracts much attention. Mr.
Myers' store has been newly decorated in
neutral gray tint, which is very effective.

At Myer Wilson's store on Congress
ave., we saw something new. The en-
tire walls of the store have been covered
with white birch bark; the rustic effect
obtained is certainly pleasing. Ferns
show up well against this background.

Another store that has been redecorated
is Vergason's Elm City Flower Shop on
Orange st. The rear has been partitioned
off and a line of birds, cages and accesso-
ries added.

A new store has been opened up on
Grand ave., under the name of Grand

GODFREY ASCHMANN 1010 W. Ontario Street, PHILADELPHIA, PA.

Floral Shoppe, Oscar Rose, proprietor. It
is located opposite the cathedral and
ought to be right for business.

A big improvement at Nyrens store,
Elm and Orange sts., is the cutting away
of the large stone corner post and extend-
ing the show windows around the corner.

In talking over the Poli funeral with
John H. McQuiggan, we come to the con-
clusion that the floral display was the
largest and most costly of any our flo-
rists have ever put over in New Haven.
Eddie Poli was the son of the well known
theatrical manager who operates theatres
throughout the Eastern States. There
were about 245 floral pieces in all, many
of immense size. The business was about
equally distributed among the trade and
required many hours of overtime work
and a great quantity of stock; good stock,
too.

After the big game, we will have
Thanksgiving Day business followed by
the holiday trade, so I guess our florists
will survive the Winter and be prosper-
ous and happy even if our correspondent
is so busy with affairs of the American
Dahlia Society that he cannot gather
the trade news regularly.

Our Dahlia growers are busy housing
their stock and preparing their 1923
catalogs. Practically all Dahlia stock will
be sold out this Spring without much
trouble. In this connection, we wish to
mention that we would appreciate it if
advertisers would send in copy for their
ads now so we can get out the January
Bulletin promptly on Jan. 1.

Effective Base Planting

Pine (Pimis Cembra). In the center background, iu
front of porch, are Rhododendron (the house faces
northwest) and in the foreground bed on the left are
more Azaleas and Rhododendrons, to which are added
Mugho Pine, Ilex crenata (Japanese Holly), Biota,
Retinispora and, on the point, Red Cedar. Flanking

HAVE you ever noticed
base planting which ap-
peared attractive the
first year or two but later, as
the plants grew, they became
too large for the situation?
The mistake was made in se-
lecting improper material, and
while pruning might have
maintained the plants in
proper proportion, this fea-
ture of maintenance was
neglected — as it often is--
with the result that tall
"leggy" shrubs grow in un-
kempt fashion close to the
base of a building. In con-
trast to this common error,
note in our illustration an ex-
ample of what we consider
base planting that "stays
put ;" attractive at all seasons
and requires very little atten-
tion in the way of pruning.
There's no secret about ob-
taining this effect by those
who know the habits of plants
and how to arrange them. It
is all in the selection which,
in this case, we admit consists
of the more choice and not
"the lowest priced stock, but
owners as a rule will not be-
grudge paying more if they
can be shown that they will
get less common plants and
ones that will produce a bet-
ter effect with a minimum
amount of attention.

Our illustration is of a
property with about 100ft.
frontage and the house stands
about 75ft. back from the street so, while the house
is rather large (though dwarfed by the tall Lombardy
Poplars), yet the lot is no larger than many suburban
properties with which it may be compared. In the
foreground bed on the right are Azalea indica alba,
Rhododendrons, Prostrate Yew, and small Swiss Stone

The only test of artistic planting is good taste. The above photograph, however, with the accom-
panying text, points out one easily obtainable perfection — the choosing of the right stock in the
first place, so that foundation plantings do not grow out of all proportion with their surroundings

the extreme left is a Purple Beech which, with a
group of Pines and massed shrubbery (not seen in
photograph), from the boundary of the property on
this side, while the right side is screened from the
neighboring house by a Hemlock hedge.

The bed seen in the left foreground would seem to

be against the base of house yet it is separated from
that by a driveway which passes through the arch-
way. This illustrates another point in effective base
planting and that is not to place a narrow bed of
shrubbery close to the base of tall or large buildings.
It looks skimpy and cramped or gives the appearance
of weeds that escape the lawn
mower by hugging the build-
ing foundations. The same
amount of planting, if located
several feet away from the
building, will give a better
perspective ; has more room to
develop, and offers greater
space for the use of plants of
irregular heights and habits.
Plants placed close to the base
of large buildings, especially
if similar in height, often de-
velop into a monotonous even
mass of banked foliage.

In addition to the plants
recorded as comprising the
beds shown in our illustra-
tion, we would suggest the
following as being appropriate
for use under similar condi-
tions :

Andromeda japonica and
floribunda.

Kalmia latifolia (Laurel).

Azalea Hinodigiri.

Leucothoe Catesbsei.

Lonicera pileata.

Mahonia japonica.

Yucca filamentosa (Adam's
Needle).

Pachysandra terminalis
(Jap. Spurge).

Hypericum calycinum.

These plants look well the
year round and, with a sprin-
kling of evergreens like Red ,
aud Blue Cedars, Biota,
Thuja, Taxus and Retinispora
obtusa, make attractive beds.
All are plants desirable for a
florist with a little ground to
require very little room and

keep in stock. They

their value increases if he is obliged to carry them

over, and, best of all, there is no danger of feeding the

brush pile as might be the case with stronger growing

plants.

Samuel Newman Baxter.

The Florist Opportunity for
the Nurseryman

— or at least be equipped to take orders. That's just one
idea for starting the ball rolling. There are hundreds.
Where your profit is, there should ye be also.

The nurseryman must sell stock. He has his choice.
Will he sell to other nurseryman in carload lots, or will he
retail it out to his neighbors at a higher profit?

Both methods have their disadvantages. Selling at
wholesale to other nurserymen means continually watch-
ing prices and writing profits that are microscopic or
else in red ink. A close margin generally obtains except
in very favorable years.

And selling at retail brings along all the trouble and
annoyance of planting and complaints and replacements.

On an entirely new tack is the idea of using the florist
to sell your stock. In the city he could be a productive
sales office. There are a few city nurserymen already,
but every florist is a potential salesman of nursery stock.

In the small town he can be your representative — or
merely a customer, as you like — but his display of nursery
stock is going to help you sell.

But why leave it up to the florist to decide ? It is for
the nurserymen of the country to get after the florists
and persuade them to handle nursery stock more — much
more — than at present. Start "Plan to Plant Another
Tree Movements" in your locality and get the florists
in all cities and towns in the district to carry your stock

The Nursery Opportunity for
the Florist-Grower

That there is good money in it for the florist with a
small piece of land to spare when he undertakes to add a
show nursery, has been written about in these pages
many times. Recently we gave a history of such a de-
velopment (see issue of Nov. 11, page 1259). This was
the case of Breedon Bros., florists, Millville, N. J., who
were beginning to think that the profits from their nursery
business would soon be greater than that from the florist
end, or — as the writer puts it — "It begins to look like a
case where the tail will eventually wag the dog."

A large nurseryman, one who is devoting considerable
attention to introducing the use of small evergreens par-
ticularly into city and suburban use, writes (and we
fully agree with him) as follows: "I have long felt that
there is a big field for florists, especially outside the con-
gested city district, in handling ornamental evergreens.
Interest in this is growing and more and more florists are
taking it up each year. Some have planted small show
grounds at their greenhouses, and are able to deal in ever-
greens very profitably without carrying a large stock."

A grower who has but a quarter to half an acre of
ground surrounding his home and greenhouses could not
place $100 to $200 to better use than to plant this space
(with some slight attention to landscape effect) with young
stock of ornamental trees, shrubs, and evergreens. The
younger the stock, naturally, the less the expense of pro-
viding same. When the capital is there, of course it is
better to plant with as large stock as can be safely han-
dled, because the returns will come more quickly; but
even where quite small stock is to be purchased, if care-
fully planted, it is only a matter of two or three years
before these trees commence to make an appearance that
will attract the passersby as well as the regular customers.
Orders can then be taken and filled for same through some
reliable nurseryman, and a substantial side line thus
inaugurated, one that will increase with the years. It is
a positive fact that when two or three homes in a neigh-
borhood begin to show the effect of home ground planting
— the demand has been created — the idea spreads quickly
throughout the entire community.

What is the answer? There's profit in it for the
florist and there's profit in it for the nurseryman. The
thing is for the two to get together.

Every nurseryman must size up his own needs in
the way of sales efforts. Then get in touch with one
or more florists and make a proposition. Every florist
who thinks he could handle this profitable lines—
which fits so readily into the scheme of florist stock
—should get in touch with the nurseryman in his
neighborhood and make a proposition.

Wholesale Nursery Market

The week of Nov. 13 saw an unusual
spurt in orders for Spring generally. One
Eastern nurseryman said that orders
booked Nov. 17 for Spring delivery were
already larger than total Fall sales.

A general view of the field shows fruits
in a strong position this Fall. They are
in short supply. At the same time, the
usual Fall demand was below normal. Ap-
ples, although high priced on account of
scarcity, show a slacking off of demand.
Of course, this is purely seasonal. A cor-
respondent in upper New York writes:
"There will be a very close cleanup on
all fruits, shrubs, etc., by next Spring."

Hardy flowering shrubs are in big de-
mand at retail this Fall.

Vegetable roots, particularly Rhubarb
and Asparagus, are in keen demand. New
Jersey is scarcely able to supply its own
needs in this line. One prominent grow-
er, writing of Rhubarb roots, says: "I
have tried every grower I know of east
of the Mississippi and I do not believe
there is any Rhubarb in the East that
is obtainable."

Illinois

Although the supply generally is lim-
ited, there is a very heavy demand, es-
pecially on choice varieties, both in lin-
ing out sizes and specimen grades.

General opinion is that lining out stock
in the better varieties will be entirely
gone by late Winter.

Visiting Holland

P. J. W. Ottolander of the F. & F.
Nurseries was booked to leave Nov. 21 on
the Vollehdam for Holland, where he will
spend several weeks. A. J. Parrnevis of
the Bloodgood Nurseries will also sail for
Holland in early December. Each gentle-
man is accompanied by his wife and child.

Report from Rice Bros.

Rice Bros. Co., Rochester, N. Y., write:
"Both retail and wholesale sales are ahead
of last year's. As nearly as we can tell
most other nurserymen in this district
are also having fine sales."

Evansville (Ind.) Nursery Notes

Not many years ago if one wanted to
plant shrubbery and wanted something
different from what his neighbor had in
his yard (and from which he would in
neighborly fashion give you a "slip") one
had to order by mail from Rochester, N.
Y.; Painesville, 0.; Gerniantown, Pa., and
other distant cities. But now it is dif-
ferent.

We have two nurseries that carry a
large assortment of ornamental shrubbery,
deciduous shade trees of all sizes, as well
as a good collection of evergreens.

C. E. Gysemans of the Evansville Nur-
series Co. put on a selling campaign re-
cently that appealed to the buying pub-
lic effectively. A number of well known
residences were lithographed and below
each one was printed: "How would you
like to live on a street like this?" fol-
lowed by a list of plants suitable for
planting either as specimens or groups.
The idea was mailed out to prospects in
folder form.

C. H. Thornburg of Thornburg Nursery
Co., says that the demand is running to
a wider range of varieties and better
quality than in former years. Mr. Thorn-
burg has for years confined his business
to street shade trees of large size, bu«
finds it necessary to carry a collection
of all sizes and a large range of varieties
in order to satisfy his customers now-
adays. W. H.

Opportunity for the Local Florist

Ten or fifteen years ago the writer
was informed that a gentleman in a
nearby town, who had struck it rich in
coal mining, was completing the erection
of a residence at a cost of some $10,000,
and was looking around for someone to
plan his home grounds — some five acres
in extent. I wrote him, giving terms
for preliminary suggestions, making
plans, etc., and in reply received a curt
missive with the statement that he could
buy through the catalogs all the plants
and trees he required for $25, and that
he had a good colored man to do the
planting for him ; he would put no more
money on his grounds for the reason that
he had already spent enough on his
buildings.

I send you this statement simply to
show you how some people will spend
lavishly to build a residence and to fur-
nish its interior in keeping, but when it
comes to the beautifying of the home
grounds — just as important in its way as
the furnishing of the house — they imme-
diately call a halt. I am fully satisfied
that it is up to the nurseryman and the
landscape gardener to make this class of
people see and feel otherwise. We have
selling campaigns of all kinds, now let
us have a campaign for "Beautiful Sur-
roundings for Our Homes." In this con-
nection I am thinking particularly of the
class of medium sized houses that line
the roads, each one having its little strip
of open ground between it and its neigh-
bor. W. H., Ind.

Only this week one of The Exchange
staff was witness of a somewhat parallel
case. In this instance, the owner of a
new house had paid some $30,000 for its
construction. He had had his ground

Suppose there was no
such thing as a horticul-
tural trade paper —
never been thought of.

All the nurserymen in
the country have stock
to sell. How will they
sell it? About 500 of
them buy mimeograph
machines and flood the
mails with price lists
and letters.

Now then — three or
four firms are together
in one city. Some bril-
liant man notices that
they are each mailing
to exactly the same
people. He suggests
that the firms get out a
joint bulletin — carrying
the letters of each firm.

It works fine. A great
deal cheaper. And bet-
ter results. Why? Be-
cause the customers get
so many individual let-
ters that they haven't
time to read them. But
they can't afford to miss
reading the bulletin
carrying four at once.

That is just what a
trade paper is — a com-
bined bulletin carrying
the letters and price
lists of many firms in
the form of advertising.
Costs less — and it's
better.

A full page mimeo-
graph circular would
cost about $50 to mail
to the nursery trade —
for an average nursery-
man's list, that is. But
that same circular
would fit nicely into a
quarter page in THE
EXCHANGE Nursery
Department, at a cost
of $22.50. And if you
are wise enough to be
under a yearly contract,
this amount would only
be $14.38.

A man might not
bother reading a circu-
lar— but he would be
sure to glance through
his trade p a p e r — at
least THE EXCHANGE
Nursery Department
readers would.

More than that. This
is a live paper. It's good
policy to tie up with
things that are live — in
any business.

Figure it out.

Then write us.

One Day Late in the Mails

Because of the observance of Thanksgiving Day,
Thursday, Nov. 30, THE FLORISTS EXCHANGE will
be compelled to go to press and into the mails 24
hours later than usual. Advertising copy and editorial
matter, however, should be mailed in on the usual
dates, our forms closing at noon on Wednesday.

A belated greeting, we hope, is better than none at
all — so here is a rousing cheer of congratulation and a mes-
sage full of good will and good wishes for John Cook of
Baltimore, who recently celebrated his eighty-ninth birth-
day and then casually set off on a little holiday trip
down to Florida. It is a source of satisfaction that that
popular book, "Commercial Rose Growing," is dedicated
to this grand old Rosarian. It is a privilege to similarly
dedicate to him this issue of The Exchange, so that
he may hear from still another direction of the affection
and esteem in which he is held by his fellow horticul-
turists.

One of the as yet unanswered questions of those who
do not approve the present methods of administering the
Plant Quarantine Act, is, why exclude so many orna-
mental plants and still admit fruits, vegetables and other
raw products used for food, packing and other purposes
which are equally likely to harbor certain pests? That
an answer of some sort may finally be forthcoming is
indicated in the Department of Agriculture announcement
that a hearing will be held in December to consider the
exclusion of "fruits and vegetables in the raw or unmanu-
factured state." From fresh figs and peaches, to grapes,
pineapples and ultimately bananas, is but a series of short,
related stops. The question is, will they solve the diffi-
culty or create new and even vaster problems involving
public demand and supplies?

Conclusions cannot be drawn as to the results of the F .
H. B. hearing on the Camphor scale until the Board an-
nounces some sort of decision. It would appear, however,
as though the work of the three Gulf States in which the
scale now exists to control and eradicate it had received
a vote of confidence. Though gratifying to them, this may
not ease the mind of Florida interests, which naturally
will have to redouble their efforts to keep the pest out-
side their territory. One point that is not quite clear in
our minds is why, if the Camphor scale has been known
m this country for 20 years, Dr. Marlatt speaks of im-
portations of trifoliate oranges in 1911 as being respon-
sible for its introduction. In either event it did, as he
points out, gain entrance before the enactment of the
Plant Quarantine Act of 1912, which, as all agree, was a
wise and desirable measure. As to the wisdom and de-
sirability of certain rulings under that law— notably Qu.
3' — that, of course, is another story.

Fruit Exclusion to be Considered by F. H. B.

Under date of Nov. 17, the office of the Secretary of
Agriculture announced a public hearing, to be held at
10. a.m., Dec. 19, 1922, to consider "the advisability of
restricting or prohibiting the importation of fruits and
vegetables in the raw or unmanufactured state from all
foreign countries and localities on account of the Medi-
terranean and other fruit flies."

Chairman Marlatt of the F. H. B. has expressed the
thought that it may not prove necessary to further check
the importation of citrus fruits from Mediterranean coun-
tries, but believes that the more perishable fruits, such as
fresh figs, peaches (and presumably grapes) may have to
be excluded to protect various fruit and vegetable growing
industries in this country against certain flies not now
prevalent here and whose introduction he asserts "would
be nothing less than an overwhelming disaster."

Plant Registration Across the Border

Those Canadian brethren of ours are certainly mak-
ing progress. A few weeks ago W. E. Groves, our all-
Canadian correspondent, told of the organization of
the Dominion Horticultural Council. In this issue
he explains the regulations of the brand new registra-
tion system that is going to add so much strength,
dignity and security to the plant growing industry,
not only in Canada but throughout America.

Naturally, we feel a little chagrin that this plan,
for which a number of our horticultural enthusiasts
have hoped so hard and striven so vigorously, should
have become a reality in Canada sooner than in the
United States. However, this regret does not temper
the congratulations that we offer the organization
and the individuals who have finally established the
system "up there." Nor does it blind us to a realiza-
tion of the benefits that we, as well as they, will ob-
tain from this latest exemplification of systematic,
coordinative effort.

Of course the practical benefits as outlined by
Mr. Groves, stand forth most emphatically just now.
We hope, however, that not the least of the results
of the Canadians' activity will be the stimulation of
our own interests toward the completion of plans
that will put our horticulture on the same level with
regard to registration facilities. Gradually, it would
seem, our nation is becoming conscious of the fact
that world organization for peace and progressive
diplomacy is bound to come, and that it will be the
duty, no less than the privilege, of the United States
to bear its full share of the responsibility in bringing
this about. Likewise in our horticultural field, must
come a realization of a similar need for international
organization and harmony. Plant registration is one
of the features in which this sort of consolidation can
be of maximum value.

Speed the day when the United States has its own
registration system; and when this system shall be
in full accord with that of all other nations of the
civilized world.

AAFloricultural Census

How the Trade Can Help to Make One, And Why
It Should

Editor The Florists Exchange:

Having a message to deliver about the S. A. F. and
O. H. Annual, I hope you can afford us space in
your columns for a word of explanation. One of the
aims of this year book is the compilation of sufficient
data concerning the trade throughout the country to
make possible an accurate and representative horti-
cultural census — something never yet attempted but
greatly needed for both the internal welfare and the
outward prestige of the industry. To this end the
Annual is sending out — and will continue to send
out until it has reached every member of every branch
of the business — questionnaires asking for certain
information, "vital statistics," as it were. Thus far
the response has been most gratifying; but now and
then comes a reply that suggests a misunderstanding
of the purpose and plan of the inquiry.

For example, one questionnaire comes back bearing
simply the following comment, signed "Grower :"

"Statistics are misleading information mostly based
on some propaganda. There is no other business so
much subjected to prying as the grower's. Any sen-
sible merchant never would or could honestly fill out
your questions."

As to the last suggestion, we have already in hand
several score questionnaires carefully filled out by
what we have every reason to believe are "sensible
merchants," who have done their bit honestly and
with a desire to cooperate in an attempt to help the
business.

As to the prying indictment we desire to repeat
that no spirit of curiosity or mercenary interest in
any man's business is back of this investigation, nor
will any use be made of individual reports except
in the compiling of totals, the ascertaining of per-
centages, and the analyzing of aggregate results.

For something over 130 years the United States has
considered statistics sufficiently worth while to jus-
tify the preparation each decade of a voluminous
census of the nation's population and its activities.
Certainly there is precedent for the making of a flori-
cultural census, as well as a crying need for it.

Obviously, the value of such a summary will be in
proportion to the completeness, the degree of coopera-
tion and the good faith with which the necessary in-
formation is supplied. We believe and have been as-
sured that the task is well worth doing; if so, it is
worth doing well. So we solicit the interest, support,
and assistance of all florists, growers, nurserymen,
and members of allied industries in helping us com-
pile their first horticultural trade census.

Editor The Florists Exchange:

With respect to the questions propounded in your
issue of Nov. 11, 1922, under the caption, "A Leading
Question or Two," you are advised as follows :

(1) The purpose of the Department of Agriculture
is to give information which will be of service. It
will endeavor not to divulge what may be properly
considered trade secrets without authority.

(2) It has been repeatedly pointed out that there
are specific dangers with any and all importations
of bulbs. The Department's restriction on the entry
of bulbs is simply an effort to reduce those dangers
to the minimum. The entry of bulbs permitted, there-
fore, is simply striking a balance -between the horti-
cultural needs of the country and the risk. The means
provided for supplying this country's needs with the
restricted bulbs and other plants are indicated in
Circular Letter 153, copy of which is enclosed.

(3) The issuance of special permits for the purpose
of supplying the country with necessary propagating
stock for plants not otherwise available is conditioned
on an agreement by the importer that the plants will
be so propagated as to be a step toward making the
plants available to the public. If any such importa-
tion is being used for immediate commercial profit
or advantage rather than for the purpose specified
in the permit, the Board would like to be advised so
that suitable action may be instituted.

14) The discussion dealt with pests new to or not
widely distributed in the United States. It takes only
one fertilized female to introduce a new crop pest
or one diseased plant to introduce a plague. such as
citrus canker or chestnut bark disease. If the germ
of tonsilitis, taking your illustration, did not occur
on this continent, it would be worth millions of dol-
lars to see that no single individual affected by this
disease should enter this country. There is nothing
specious in the argument if properly stated.

Bacteria versus Fertilizers

Read before the Gardeners and Florists Club,
Boston, at Halifax Gardens, Mass., Nov. 18

MILLIONS of years in the past, before animal
life was in existence, plant life was flourishing
in abundance. In the absence of animal ma-
nures, probably the green manures, the decaying and
putrifying vegetable matter, provided elements of fer-
tility. Potash, phosphorus and nitrogen were pres-
ent in abundance in the soil and in our time, these
elements are not lacking, although we are urged to
utilize them to force our crops. We must, however,
be reasonable in accepting advice unless it is abso-
lutely correct as we stand a chance of wasting yearly,
untold millions of money in the form of mineral fer-
tilizers.

The Nature of Bacteria

Bacteria are small plants, so small indeed that in
a drop of water, we can, with a microscope, distin-
guish enormous numbers. Some are in the form of
rods and some round like the cocci. These bacteria
live and absorb carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitro-
gen. They secrete gases and produce ferments still
smaller than the bacteria themselves. Some of these
ferments are organized and live while other ferments
are not organized, but are capable of making chemical
changes.

Bacteriology is still in its infancy and, as yet, we
do not know how these bacteria feed or how the fer-
ments absorb the food elements. All we do know is
that some thrive on broth, some on milk and others
on different media particular to each kind of bac-
terium. Some bacteria have relation to animal dis-
ease while many other kinds of bacteria have no
relation to disease, but have specific relation to agri-
culture.

We might state now that bacteria are more impor-

tant to soil fertility than mineral fertilizers. In
sterilized soil or water you may add all the soluble
mineral fertilizers and yet the plants would not grow
and give good crops, but when you add to such soils,
bacteria and especially the de-nitrifying and acid pro-
ducing bacteria, you will successfully grow crops.
The reason is very simple. Prom life we can make
life but from dead inert matter we cannot create life.
We know that bacteria and fungi produce enzymes
and they decompose or break down the complex com-
pounds of matter. The putrefactive and decaying bac-
teria occur practically everywhere in Nature; in the
air, in the water, and in the soil. They act, through
their ferments, on the minerals of the soil. The un-
known part of this action is whether the ferments
dissolve and absorb in their bodies, the mineral ele-
ments as food or whether the by-products of decom-
position enters the bodies of the ferments in an ionic
state and after being metabolized by the micro-organ-
ism, are secreted or excreted, ready to be absorbed
by the larger plant cells. This is the important ques-
tion of soil fertility. We do not pretend to know how
a spark of life keeps on perpetuating itself and re-
produces its species for an indefinite length of time,
but we have to admit that it does occur. In regard
to the ionic state of elements, like potash and phos-
phorus, we are somewhat indebted to the latest elec-
tro-chemical discoveries and probably have to concede
that the great chemist Lavoisier was right. He stated
that all elements came from one primitive element,
probably lighter than hydrogen and changed them-
selves by compression, to the different ones in exist-
ence ; from the helium the lightest to the heaviest like
radium was only a matter of compression through
millions of years.

It is very important to establish how the elements
enter the bacteria. There are two methods plausible :
1. — The bacteria absorb through osmosis.* 2. — They
absorb only through ionizedf elements. The osmosis
theory is accepted by all, regardless if it fits the case
or not. I doubt it very much, as the bacteria and
their ferments are so small that we must imagine a
possible division of elements still smaller than the
organized ferments. Moreover we are forced to admit
that the ferments have capillary tubes that even the
high power of the microscope cannot detect. How
about the filtrable viruses, they are still smaller.

The theory of ionized elements entering the body
of the smallest bodies containing a spark of life is
plausible. There are plenty of arguments for this
theory. Animal life is characterized by locomotion.
It can move from one place to another and has means
of taking the food elements, where they can be found,
to sustain life. Plant life has no such means of loco-
motion. A tree wherever planted grows up in the
same place and remains there for its entire life. In
the animal body the food elements are digested by
the different ferments of the stomach, the vitamines
passing into the blood. The stomach of a plant is the
soil. The vitamines secreted by the ferments in the
soil enter the plant and are mixed in the sap. The
blood and the sap contain principles of live matter
and are the product of ferment secretion.

Now these infinite small particles of matter are
charged with electricity and are radioactive. There
is no need of going into detail, as we know that the
animal body is charged electrically ; also the trees and
plants. What we do not know is from where did this
radioactivity and electricity originate. If we would
accept the second theory of ionized elements as above
described we could then easily explain the origin of
radioactivity in our bodies.

To split up elements into ions, it takes a tremen-
dous amount of energy. If we could master the secret
of splitting the atom into electrons we would be able
to utilize an enormous force, but as yet we do not
know how it is accomplished. It seems that the
bacteria have this property and have used it for mil-
lions of years, but human intelligence is just begin-
ning to realize the value of solving this important
problem.

From the fact that a plant has no locomotion, we
conclude that it must depend on a steady supply of
ionized elements entering its body. This constant
supply of moisture and other elements necessary, cer-
tainly has to come from a constant supply of energy.
The soil revolves constantly, therefore producing
energy in abundance. Where does this energy go?
It produces the winds and the force of the waves. It
regulates the evaporation of the water, producing
beneficial rains and probably supplies the energy nec-
essary for the bacteria to ionize the elements and
also the radio-activity of everything. No matter what
element is acted upon, if it can resist it it remains
through its own reaction, in the same eternal state
but. whatever element is below this strength it must
change and give up the accumulated radio-activity.
Radium is one of the elements which shows distinct
signs of giving off the negative electrons of its con-
stituents and going back to the original state from
whence it came. When bacteria come into the pres-

The^Rose has well played its part in a thousand and one'affairs'of love
or friendship, but we had to await the arrival of Georges Clemenceau,
the "Tiger of France." to see it gallantly waved in exchange for the
kisses blown to him by the women of New York as he rode up Broadway
the day of his arrival, Nov. 20, visiting that city once again after
an absence of 57 years. No man of greater renown has ever visited
our shoreT than this Frenchman whose personality and determination
did so much to repel the invader of his country. In publishing this
expressive picture of the man himself, our readers, we feel sure, will
be pleased to pay their silent testimony to the value of the Rose as
it served this particular occasion. Able as M. Clemenceau has shown
himself to be in repelling aggression, he here demonstrates equal
ability through his choice of the red Rose as the emblem of affection

Margaret M. W. Troy

Margaret Muir Wylie Troy, wife of John H. Troy,
well-known nurseryman of New Rochelle, N. Y., passed
away on Nov. 14. Funeral services were held at her
late home, 257 Mayflower ave., New Rochelle, N. X.,
on Friday, Nov. i7. Beside her husband she leaves
one son, W. Wylie Troy.

George E. Talbot

George E. Talbot, veteran florist of northeastern
Connecticut, died at his home in Putnam, Conn., on
Friday, Nov. 17, in his 75th year, after a lingering
illness.

In his younger years Mr. Talbot was one of the best
known florists in the northeastern part of Connecti-
cut, and the craft loses in him a well liked and highly
esteemed member.

He was born in 1S4S in the same house in which he
died, and had lived on the same place all his life.
He began his career by teaching school, but soon
gave this up, as his love of Nature and for raising
flowers induced him to take up the florist business. A
considerable range of glass, although out of date in
some respects, still tells of the success with which it
was conducted. Although never affiliated with any
fraternity or other association, Mr. Talbot was well
known all over his section of Connecticut where he
was often sought as a judge for local flower shows
and agricultural exhibits. B.

Robert Luepke

Robert Luepke, who was the first florist of Houston,
Texas, and well known in Texas for activities along flori-
cultural lines, died at sea a few weeks ago on the return
voyage from Germany, where he had gone with Mrs.
Luepke in June, 1921.

Mr. and Mrs. Luepke left for Germany with the idea

that they would not return, but live the remainder of
their lives there. However, conditions developed over
there that seemed to make this plan impossible.

They enjoyed their first year's stay very much, and
although the country generally was hard pressed for
some necessities, those who were able to pay could get
anything and feel very comfortable. After this, misfor-
tune overtook them in that Mr. Luepke began to lose
his health, developing a serious stomach affliction for which
there was no cure. Then the Winters were cold there,
with fuel often difficult to get, so rather than attempt
another Winter over there in his condition they thought
it best to return to Texas.

Mr. Luepke was becoming homesick, too, wanting to
see his children and friends in Houston where he had lived
about 33 years.

He was never told that his malady was incurable, and
he thought to the last he would return to Houston and
get well with a change to a warmer climate. He was
advised by physicians he might not live to cross the ocean.
He was in a very weak condition, having to be brought
aboard the Seydlitz at Bremen on a litter. A pleasant
sail was experienced during the first two or three days,
but soon a terrific storm raged at sea, which lasted two
days. On the fourth day out Mr. Luepke breathed his
last, after having had every possible attention by nurses
and physician on board.

The body was brought in a casket to Houston, where
the burial occurred among his children and a large com-
pany of friends.

Mr. Luepke was a native of Danzig, Germany and was
74 years old at the time of his death. He was a good
citizen and did much in a pioneer way toward making
Houston beautiful with flowers. He was especially active
in encouraging the flower shows held in Houston some
years ago.

Henry Howard Barrows

Henry Howard Barrows died at Whitman, Mass.,
on Tuesday, Nov. 14, peritonitis being the immediate
cause of his death. He was in the hospital five days
and was conscious until the last 24 hours. His wife
and daughter were with him when he passed away;
thereby ending a life of hard work and activity.

H. II. Barrow was born, 56 years ago in West Sum-
ner, Me. His father, Hiram E. Barrows, fought and
fell in the Civil War, leaving a wife and four chil-
dren. At the age of six years the boy moved, with
his family, to Abington, Mass. The mother was the
sole support of the family and Henry helped shoulder
her burden when, at the age of twelve, he went to
work in the nurseries of his uncle, the late Henry
Howard Robbins for whom he was named. At the
age of 19, he married Abbie Louise Fadden, who bore
him five children : Henry Howard, Jr., Grace Ger-
trude Thompson, for whom his latest fern is named
Gracilima ; Ernest, Percy Robbins and Madge Thelma,
all of whom are living.

Mr. Barrows had a wonderful personality, being
well loved by his friends and workmen. One of his
faithful workers has been with him for more than
20 years. Mr. Barrows was a hard worker, possess-
ing an active brain, and devoting all his thought and
time to the business. He never had time to join an
organization.

He started in the florist business soon after his
marriage, and built two small houses in which he
raised cut flowers. All things seemed to grow under
his hands. Twenty-five years ago he owned and oper-
ated three florist stores, one in Lynn, one in Whitman
and one in Rockland. A little later he introduced in
his greenhouses the then new Boston Fern and began
to make this his specialty, discarding all other plants.
His friends told him he was crazy. They told him
he could never make a success in growing just one
thing alone. But he kept on and soon obtained a
sport from the old Boston Fern, which he named
after himself, and placed on the market, thereby
laying the foundation of what has since become one
of the largest fern-growing establishments in the
country. He also developed the Whitmani sport,
graceful, ostrich, plumelike variety. Magnifici and
Gracilima were his later productions. The fronds of
these latter sorts are not so long as those of other
varieties ; they are more delicate and much finer cut.
Gracilima is an airy, dainty thing, as fine as lace.
About his latest production Mr. Barrows was loath
to talk. It is a nameless orphan as yet, and he
chose to shelter it from publicity until ready for in-
troduction.

His business was of large proportions; one and a
half million plants being the yearly output. One of
the gigantic fern houses was pictured in The Ex-
change as recently as Oct. 2S, page 1123.

He leaves, besides his wife, a mother, who is in
her ninetieth year, and who resides at Abington with
her daughter, Mrs. William Vining. Another sister,
Mrs. Alice Fess of Greenfield and a brother, Hiram E.
Barrows, together with the five children also survive
him.

Funeral services were held in the Holy Ghost
Church. Whitman, on Friday, Nov. 17. G. Th.

The Florists Exchange

^Gardeners and Florists Club of
Boston

Another Great Field Day

WHEN the Gardeners and Florists Club of Bos-
ton arranges for one of its field days it never
fails to pick out the finest day of the month,
Nor is the place to be visited one lacking interesting-
sights and where a most cordial welcome is not ex-
tended.

Saturday, Nov. 18, will be remembered by about 150
members and their friends, many ladies among them,
as the day when the club paid a visit to the Halifax
Gardens at Halifax, Mass., where Eber Holmes is
superintendent, and who together with Mrs. Holmes,
did everything to make his guests feel at home. The
weather was perfect, the roads just fine for driving,
thus providing an enjoyable outing for those who
came a long distance. And there were many who
had left home far behind, as for instance: Geo. E.
Buxton, with Mrs. Buxton from Nashua, N. H. ;
Joseph Puller from Leominster ; Mr. and Mrs. Fisher
from Ellis; Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Goddard from Fram-
ingham and many others. Altogether there were
some 30 cars lined up before the greenhouses, and
many guests came by the train, which stops almost
in front of the place.

Carnations and Dextrogerm

About two o'clock the party started on a tour of
inspection, little dreaming what a job lay in front
of them There are 13 greenhouses, most of them
300ft. long and from 40ft. to 60ft. wide. Several are
planted entirely to Carnations in all the best com-
mercial varieties. A handsomer lot of Carnations
would be hard to find anywhere and great credit is
due to the grower. Chas. H. Pugh, who may well be
proud of his healthy, robust stock and clean, trim
houses. Never a weed; every bed up to the minute
as regards stringing and disbudding and the plants
carrying an enormous crop of buds and flowers. The
varieties grown include Matchless, Benora, Ward,
especially fine colored; Doris, Morning Glow also
showing extra good color; Aviator, Belle Washburn,
Maine Sunshine, White Delight, Thos. C. Joy, Cottage
Maid, Enchantress Supreme, Rosalia and Rosette.

The greatest interest was shown in the beds where
experiments are carried on with Bernard Field's radio-
active Dextrogerm and peat. At one end of six sepa-
rate beds a section of about 10ft. in length was
treated with the above-mentioned preparation. The
plants were set into inoculated peat and soil that was
entirely free of any kind of manure or other fertili-
zers. A short while ago these sections received a
dressing of the radio-active preparation in addition.

The consensus of all observers culminated in the
verdict that the plants showed unusual vigor, healthy
growth and color and. in almost every instance, supe-
rior size and a greater number of shoots and flowers
than plants grown in the rest of the beds which had
been planted in regular Carnation soil. Considering
that the sections used for experiment contained not
a particle of stimulant, other than Mr. Field's prepa-
ration, the gardeners and florists present were con-
sider:! I ilv surprised, to say the least, at the fine results.
Mr. Field answered many questions and also gave
clear details as to the properties and application of
his remarkable preparation. Mr. Holmes, who has
closely watched the carrying-on of the experiments
vouched for the claims put forth by Mr. Field and
his word may be trusted absolutely.

The Chrysanthemums

The Chrysanthemum houses, of which there are
several, were a revelation to all the visitors. It need
only be mentioned that the plants and flowers are
perfect in every way. The plants are furnished with
large, dark colored leaves and wonderful stems, the
flowers being of excellent form and color, and lack-
ing nothing in size. Bonnaffon, Chas. Rager, and the
dark Harvard were remarkably fine. A number of
other varieties were equally good.

A house filled with Pompons and Singles was one
blaze of color, and readily showed high-class cultiva-
tion. A crop as seen in this house is seldom found. In
the Chrysanthemum houses experiments with Dextro-
germ had also been carried on and had given similar
results as those in the Carnation houses, but because
most of the flowers had been cut, it was not possible
to demonstrate the results on this day.

The Roses

Five of the largest houses are planted with Roses
of the following varieties: Premier, Columbia, Pil-
grim, Ward. Double White Killarney, Butterfly, Cru-
sader and Ophelia. Luke Levecque is in charge of
this department. Mr. Holmes is an acknowledged
authority on Rose forcing, and one of the foremost
growers in the country, so one naturally expected fine
crops of this flower on his place. And the expectation
is more than fulfilled when one looks into the houses
and sees the magnificent plants and the wealth of
buds. The extraordinary vigor of the plants and the
total absence of any kind of disease or insect pest
are noted at a glance and the visitor leaves the
houses with the impression that a master hand is here
at work. Other houses are planted with Asparagus
plumosus and Sprengeri, and there is one whole house
filled with Cattleyas and other orchids.

The Farm

It took some little time to inspect all the houses,
but at last this was done and the visitors spread
over the big farm, where a large poultry plant is

devoted to laying hens, capons, Guinea fowl, pigeons,
ducks and geese, not to forget a flock of magnificent
turkeys, which are just ripe enough for Thanksgiv-
ing Day and which are likely to celebrate this event
in a crisp, brown state.

Wide, level fields surround the greenhouses on
every side and are bordered by noble forests. The cat-
tle barns are models of convenience and cleanliness;
all built entirely of concrete. They house a herd of
thoroughbred Guernseys, with a grand gentleman cow
for sire. The boiler house and the heating plant, as
also the service buildings, are commodious, solid
structures with every convenience for transacting a
large business. Especially notable are the large, light
and airy sorting and packing rooms and the well
appointed cooling rooms for flowers.

Dextrogerm Again

Tired out and not a little hungry the visitors even-
tually congregated in the large potting room, where
a bountiful collation was served under the super-
vision of the hostess, Mrs. Holmes. After due at-
tention had been paid to the demolition of- sand-
wiches, cakes, coffee and ice cream and, after the
gentlemen had lit cigars, Secretary Win. N. Craig
read a paper, prepared by Bernard Field, in which
the history and action of bacteria was explained, to-
gether with their relation to Mr. Field's discovery
and application of his Dextrogerm. Mr. Field an-
swered a number of questions and was given a rous-
ing vote of thanks. President Wm. H. Judd made a
short address and thanked Mr. and Mrs. Holmes for
their kind reception and splendid entertainment of
the visitors.

Fritz Schlecht, the florist of Plymouth, exhibited
a number of Chrysanthemums, which had been grown
with Dextrogerm, and without manure, in his estab-
lishment. His blooms of Chas. Rager, Chieftain and
Harvard were as good as any ever grown with ma-
nure, if not better. He also showed Cyclamen and
Lilies grown in inoculated peat.

When the sun started for bed the cars began to
speed away, taking home the members, all immensely
pleased with their day's outing. G. Ih.

Tennessee State Florists Association

A Strong Meeting and a Great Show

OFFICERS FOR 1923

Vice-President, James Anderson, Lebanon, Tenn.
Secretary-Treasurer, G. M. Bentley, Knoxville,

Second annual flower show of the Scranton Florists Club, Inc., at the Scranton Armory, Nov. 7 to 10, 1922.
A neat and inviting arrangement. Note decorated tables circling the foreground

THE members of this organization gathered as
per appointment, at Nashville, Nov. 13 and 14.
The meeting was held under the auspices of the
local association, and proved to be the largest and
best attended meeting ever held by the State body.

It is generally conceded by those from out of the
State who have attended former meetings, that Ten-
nessee has the livest State association in the country.
The meetings were held in the Imperial Motor Co.'s
Garage and Sales Rooms, the entire ground floor being
secured for show purposes, giving a room approxi-
mately 100ft. by 125ft. This was much more space
than previous meetings have been able to have, and
it was possible to display things to excellent advan-
tage. The entire space was occupied by exhibits, and
as soon as the public learned that the show was actu-
ally worth while, they came in in large numbers. No
admission fee was charged and the show room was
open all day long and until ten o'clock at night. There
was a constant stream of people to view the flowers.
The show was well advertised by the local press and
in every way proved a real success.
"""The most striking feature of the show was a won-
derful vase of 50 America Roses, sent by E. G. Hill
Co., Richmond, Ind. These Roses were pronounced
the best ever seen in the city of any variety, and were
the center of a ring of interested people from morn-
ing until night. If other growers can produce this
Rose as good as Mr. Hill exhibited it, it will certainly
be a record-breaker. Mr. Hill also exhibited some
remarkably good specimens of his new seedling Chrys-
anthemums.

Another exhibit that attracted considerable atten-
tion was a collection of new Chrysanthemums sent by
Elmer D. Smith of Adrian, Mich. Judging from the
comments of the florists, these exhibits should prove
profitable to the senders.

A collection of 75 lantern slides, illustrating the
latest and best Iris, was shown by Mr. Connell, Re-
gional Vice-President of The National Iris Society for
the South, and attracted considerable interest among
the florists.

Home Grown Bulbs

The business sessions, under the presidency of
H. N. Joy, were rather better attended than is usual
in such meetings. The subject of home production of
bulbs creating more interest than any other subject
discussed.

The Baurn Floral Co., Knoxville, Tenn., .made a
very interesting and instructive display of home-
grown Lily and Gladiolus bulbs. They showed Lilies
of several varieties, both mature bulbs and seedlings,
from February-sown seed. Several Tennessee florists
stated that they were growing and forcing their own
Golden Spur and other Narcissus bulbs almost ex-
clusively, and that they were not only securing just
as many and just as good flowers as they ever re-
ceived from the best imported stock, but that it was
easy to get them in bloom two to three weeks earlier.

Mr. Hagar of Chattanooga and others, gave their
experience with home-grown Hyacinths. While Hya-
cinths have not been tried extensively by any one in
this State as yet, those who have made the trial are
very well pleased with the results secured. It Is
pretty generally agreed that any of the Narcissus
can be produced here successfully, and that the Tu-
lips are equally successful, although they have not
been tried out to the same extent. Many florists went
home, expressing the determination to try out grow-
ing bulbs next year. It is reasonably safe to predict
that in the near future, a great many of the bulbs
now being imported by our florists will be home
grown. It is pretty generally agreed that the best
location for growing these bulbs is in the mountain
district. The higher up they are planted, the better
they seem to do.

The second day the entire body was taken in auto-
mobiles to visit the leading greenhouses and parks of
the city. A banquet was given in the clubhouse of
The Golf and Country Club, as the closing event of
the meeting. The next meeting is to be held in Knox-
ville, the members being especially interested in seo-
ing the work being done by the Baums of that city in
bulb growing.

The membership of the association is growing rap-
idly, and now totals close on 300.

The following is a list of exhibitors :

The Lord & Burnham Co. exhibited a section of one
of their greenhouses.

Baum's Home of Flowers, Knoxville, Tenn., exhibited
home-grown bulbs, including Lilium giganteum, L. ti-
grinum, L. regale, L. candidum, together with seeds
and small offsets for propagating stock.

Poehlmann Bros. Co., Chicago, had a complete display
of baskets, wreaths, and other florist supplies, includ-
ing a fine line of patent porch boxes, urns, etc., covered
wtih wicker work.

Ove Gnatt Co., La Porte, Ind., had a large exhibit of
prepared flowers and other Christmas decorative ma-
terial.

Charles Tritchler, Nashville, Tenn., made a very at-
tractive exhibit of pot plants. Special features were
evergreens specially grown for filling porch boxes and
outdoor urns and vases. This exhibit especially inter-
ested the trade.

The Hudman Seed Co., Nashville, Tenn., exhibited
bulbs, fertilizers, flower pots and supplies for the
amateur grower.

Lewis Haury, Nashville, made a good display with
pot plants, showing especially fine Chrysanthemums
and ferns.

E. G. Hill of Richmond, Ind., exhibited a wonderful
vase of his new Rose, America, and a half-dozen vases
of seedling Chrysanthemums, several of which at-
tracted a great deal of attention.

TV. F. Richter, Cullman, Ala., exhibited four of his
new Chrysanthemums. Elizabeth Richter, a remark-
ably fine white Anemone flowered 'Mum, and Katherine
Richter, a snow white incurved, were especially good,
and attracted considerable attention, especially from
the amateur growers.

Elmer D. Smith of Adrian, Mich., sent a fine exhibit
of his newer Chrysanthemums. Pomona, an almost per-
fect white Anemone flowered 'Mum being pronounced
by all as not only the best thing in his display, but
as the best Anemone flowered 'Mum seen in this pari of
the country.

A. L. Randall & Co., Chicago, sent a good exhibit of
cut flowers.

The Bristol Floral Co., Bristol, Tenn., showed an
effective vase of Jonkheer J. L. Mock Roses, and made
a good display of Carnations.

Mclntyre Bros., Nashville, made a large exhibit of
cut flowers and pot plants, as well as evergreens and
other hardy ornamentals.

Lion & Co., New York City, made a creditable dis-
play of ribbons, chiffons and other accessories.

Valentine & Son, Crosby, Tenn., brought in a good
exhibit of Holly, Ground Pine and Mistletoe, Wild Smi-
lax and other Christmas greens and notified the trade
that they were ready to supply their wants. Their
wreaths were especially attractive.

The American Bulb Co., Chicago, made a nice display
of bulbs.

Metcalf Floral Co., Hopkinsville, Ky., brought down
a large exhibit of cut flowers of all kinds and a few
good pot plants. Their Sweet Peas were remarkably
good, and attracted perhaps more attention than any
other feature of their display, although their Chrysan-
themums and Roses came in for much favorable com-
ment.

J. M. Davis Co., Terre Haute, Ind,, made a large
display of Ferns, Crotons, Palms, and a general line
of pot plants.

M. Rice & Co., Philadelphia, showed a full line of
their florist supplies.

The Joy Floral Co., Nashville, Tenn., made one of
the largest exhibits of everything grown by the flo-
rist. The things that attracted special attention in
their exhibit of course were their own seedling Carna-

tions, the Thomas Joy and Natalie, although a third,
an undisseminated pink, perhaps attracted more atten-
tion. This Carnation also attracted much attention in
the greenhouse, for its unusual floriferousness. The
color is a most unusual deep attractive Enchantress
pink; the flowers are of largest size.

Henry A. Dreer & Co., Philadelphia, had a large booth
filled with pot plants of all kinds, including many
French Hydrangeas.

Geny Bros., Nashville, made one of the largest dis-
plays, featuring cut flowers and pot Chrysanthemums.
Their Roses and Anemone flowered Chrysanthemums
were pronounced unusually good.

Haury & Sons, Nashville, Tenn., made a large dis-
play of pot Ferns, Chrysanthemums, etc.

The Green Floral Co., Nashville, surprised every one
with their fine show of pot plants of unusual quality.
This is a new firm, and very few realized that they had
grown sufficiently to make so remarkable a display.

Kansas City, Mo. Florists Club

Digest of Pres. W. J. Barnes' Address,
Nov. 15

THE new president of the Kansas City Florists
Club, W. J. Barnes, outlined to the club, Nov.
15, at the first meeting during his adminis-
tration, some of the objectives which he had con-
ceived for the organization. Pointing to the splendid
harmony and cooperation that had prevailed during
the past year, due to the work for the big convention,
he urged that this condition continue. He suggested
first, the opportunity for holding an annual flower
show ; events of this kind had been successfully con-
ducted in Kansas City in the past.

Next, he suggested that effort be made to secure
the F. T. D. Association meeting for Kansas City,
presenting the invitation at St. Louis next year. Mr.
Barnes urged that more meetings of the S. A. F. and
O. H.. and of the F. T. D..A. should be held in the
Middle West, where developments are proceeding so
rapidly.

The Mid-Day Club

He emphasized the value of the monthly luncheons
held at noon at the Mid-Day Club where florists might
get into1 closer contact, become better acquainted, and
so develop that unity which promotes effective work-
ing together when occasions rise for joint efforts.
Florists, he said, would eventually be in the position
of other industries that are now making more effec-
tive their associations for the purpose actually of
preserving their industries; against unjust taxation
and legislation for instance.

Remedy for "Crepe Chasing"

The new president delivered a scathing rebuke to
the "crepe chasers;" those who promptly seek scenes
of mourning, with plate books under their arms, bid-
ding against each other to supply flowers for fu-
nerals. The practice of visiting homes even before
notices of death have appeared in newspapers, he
considered a shame, and a disgrace to any commu-
nity. He made a constructive suggestion to obviate
"crepe chasing" in Kansas City ; it was that all repu-
table florists go in together on an advertisement,
signing it, to the effect that "These florists do not sup-
ply agents or solicitors,"

A Surplus Plant Exchange

The disposal of surplus stock, through an exchange, or-
ganized primarily for the purpose of supplying florists
needing certain kinds of stock, was urged. Mr. Barnes
related that last Spring he had sold out of some
plants; cheap Begonias, Fuchsias, Umbrella plants
aud others. He called up several florists, but could

not buy stock, so was forced to sent out of town for
a supply. A month later, while visiting florists so-
liciting for the publicity fund, he discovered that
many had surplus of the very plants he had needed.
He bought of them then, but could have used hun-
dreds more if he had known of the surplus earlier.
These growers with surpluses could, he suggested,
have moved the plants by advertising in the trade
papers, but the surplus can usually be disposed of to
local users. He offered to note surplus stocks, or the
secretary could list them ; then florists could call and
ascertain availability before sending out of town.

The Publicity Fund

In speaking for the publicity fund, Mr. Barnes re-
marked on the comparative immunity of the florists
from disaster during recent tight times. While candy,
book, jewelry, dry goods, fancy goods and many other
retailers had been hit hard, there had not been many
failures among florists so far as he had heard. And
he attributed this uniform success largely to the
national and local publicity. Since the use of the
slogan began, the florist trade had held up and in-
creased beyond expectations, therefore florists should
contribute to the fund in the same spirit in whicn
they meet any other necessary expenses of their busi-
ness.

Meeting Conditions of Glut

The president closed his address with a plea for
relaxation in prices during periods of surplus in the
flower market. The grower, he said, in the Kansas
City territory, should be protected, and one way to
to it was to move surplus promptly. When a glut de-
velops, he suggested, retailers should make low prices
to move the stock, giving customers benefit of condi-
tions. By such means, the public would boy flowers
from florists rather than on the street or elsewhere,
since cheap flowers were sure to be available when
heavy surpluses existed. : The offering of low prices
by florists would bring customers into the stores, de-
veloping the habit in them.

Just how many lines tie up with the florist busi-
ness is a matter of opinion. In some centers, it would
appear that, birds and fish are excellent lines for the
florist; many florists find china and glass ware fits
in splendidly with their scheme of sales. Candies
and fruit also meet with approval in some places.
A Beaumont, Texas, florist, however, extends the idea
considerably, for he not only provides the flowers for
parties and weddings, but also the linen, dishes, cakes
and even the wedding presents. This florist is also
a collector of antiques. In a word he would seem
to have made the most of his opportunities; likely
as not the proposition was put up to him by cus-
tomers.

Federal Camphor Scale Quarantine Unlikely

F. H. B. Hearing Shows that States are Waging

Effective Warfare Against Pest Known Here

for Two Decades

Washington, D. C. — The imposing of a quarantine upon
the movements in certain Southern States of agricultural
commodities likely to transmit the so-called Camphor
scale was discussed before the Federal Horticultural
Board on Nov. 20 by representatives of the nurserymen
and officials of Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and Missis-
sippi.

The hearing was called by Chairman C. L. Marlatt, of
the F. H. B. as a result of reports that the scale was gain-
ing rapidly in the South and of appeals that precautions
be taken to prevent its entry into Florida. The pest
has been known in this country for about 20 years, but
until 1910 its depredations were never serious. Importa-
tion of trifoliate Oranges from Japan into Alabama and
New Orleans in 1911, it was declared by Chairman Mar-
latt in opening the conference, is believed to be responsible
for the introduction of the scale, which has been spread
over large portions of the three States of Alabama, Louisi-
ana and Mississippi.

The pest attacks many varieties of plants, including
Japanese Persimmon, Figs, Plums, Pecans, Olives, Privet
and Citrus fruits, and possibly other ornamental and fruit
trees.

"Its abundance and injuries merely indicate that
another serious scale insect pest has effected its estab-
lishment in the United States," declared Dr. Marlatt,
"and is to be added to the already fairly long list of im-
portant pests new to American agriculture which apprently
gained entry just before the passage of the Federal
quarantine Act."

Protection was urged by Florida nurserymen and
officials who are anxious to avoid a repetition of the
drastic measures rendered necessary in fighting citrus
canker, when whole nurseries were burned to the ground.
It was urged that even such an extreme step as a Federal
quarantine be taken if necessary.

The situation as it now exists was explained to those

present by Professor Quaintance of the Bureau of Ento-
mology of the Department of Agriculture, and two of his
assistants. Representatives from Alabama, Louisiana
and Mississippi asserted emphatically that their States
are doing all that can be done and all that is necessary
to fight the pest. It was claimed that in Mississippi the
pest has been practically wiped out, and that the work
in Alabama and Louisiana is highly effective; it was
asserted further that any steps taken by the Federal Hor-
ticultural Board would be merely a duplication of the
efforts already being made.

In view of the fact that the officials from the affected
States showed conclusively that they are doing all that
can be done to fight the insect, and as the Federal Hor-
ticultural Board is short of funds with which to under-
take any really strenuous campaign against the pest,
it is probable that the result of the hearing will be an
announcement by the Board that it is not necessary to
establish a quarantine, but that the States should con-
tinue their control work and take all other possible steps
in an effort to control, if not to eradicate, the pest within
their borders.

Among those present at the hearing were Sen. Heflin of
Alabama; Rep. Lazaro of Louisiana; F. M. O 'Byrne,
nursery inspector from the State of Florida; Chief En-
tomologist Anderson of Louisiana; Professor Isbell of
Alabama; Messrs. Farzier and J. C. Chase of Alabama,
and others. C. L. L.

Minneapolis Flower Festival

THE Minneapolis Flower Festival, held in the
Kenwood Armory, Nov. 11 to 16, was the largest
and best flower show ever staged in the Twin
Cities. Both Armory and Annex were pleasingly
decorated with Southern Smilax and evergreen trees
as a background for the exhibits. In the former
Smilax formed a canopy (streamers radiating from
central point in the ceiling to different points in the
balcony), and was used about the walls of the armory
on tops of panels which covered the unsightly walls.

The floor of the Armory was laid out as a formal
garden with potted plants and groups of Ferns, Palms,
Begonias, Chrysanthemums, etc., grouped in its four
large beds. Outside these beds a Smilax-covered
pergola was erected. Large vases of Chrysanthemums
and specimen plants were placed in irregular beds
on either side of the pergola. Tables were arranged
along the walls to accommodate cut Roses, Carna-
tions, smaller flowered Chrysanthemums and miscel-
laneous flowers.

Iu the Annex a long area was excavated and laid
out in the form of a sunken garden. Around the
walls were exhibits of nursery stock — principally ever-
greens and bright colored shrubs and small trees —
made by the Hoyt Nursery, St. Paul, Holm & Olson,
St. Paul, and C. N. Ruedlinger, C. C. Hanter & Co.,
H. F. Baker, and Rose Hill Nursery, Minneapolis.
These exhibits were arranged in the form of irregular
plantings with open spaces between filled with green
sawdust to represent a lawn. H. F. Baker, the Rose
Hill Nursery and Holm & Olson used lawn furniture
to set off their exhibits. The two last mentioned also
entered in the miniature home grounds class, Holm &
Olson winning first and Rose Hill second, both with
most attractive exhibits. The nursery exhibits, them-
selves, were not competitive.

The sunken garden was designed and planted by
Louis Boeglin, City Horticulturist for the Park Board.
Chrysanthemums, Geraniums, Begonias, Celosia and
Alternanthera were used in the beds and as specimen
plants around an electric fountain, loaned by A. L.
Randall & Co., Chicago, as a central feature. A
bedded walk encircled the garden and separated it
from the surrounding nursery exhibits. The land-
scape effect of the fountain and plantings was re-
markable.

No advertising matter or concessions of any sort
were allowed in the building where music was fur-
nished by a fourteeen piece orchestra every afternoon
and evening. However, an attractive flower and
candy booth was conducted by the Garden and Flower
Society, the proceeds being used to furnish hospitals
of the two cities in which there are disabled soldiers
with flowers during the Winter. During the first two
days of the show this booth took in over $400.

Much publicity was given the show. Two of the
daily papers put out special sections Nov. 11 and other
items appeared each day of the show and daily for
several weeks previous. The streets leading from
downtown districts to the Armory were marked with
evergreens and arrows.

A special contest included 11 of the local florists
iu making up window decorations, in which the Macey
Floral Co. won first, Swanson, Inc., second, and
Adams third, each with a fine exhibit. One of the
most attractive displays in the main Armory was
that of orchids put up by Holm & Olson. It repre-
sented a real waterfall with orchids and allied plants

grouped around it. This took up a apace about 25ft.
long and was raised against the side wall about 15ft.
high, providing a most attractive view from the main
entrance to the exhibit room.

Lester Park Greenhouses of Duluth sent an exhibit
of Primulas, and other oBt-of-town exhibitors sent
cut flowers. A full list of exhibitors will be avail-
able later. A number of out-of-town growers made
very fine exhibits, among them the B. C. Amling &
Co., Chicago, which showed high grade Chrysanthe-
mums. Roses and other flowers, including some novel-
ties. J. C. Vaughan & Co. showed a nice lot of Pom-
pons and large Chrysanthemums. Holton & Hunkle
of Milwaukee exhibited excellent Chrysanthemums
and Premier, Columbia, Butterfly Roses. A. N. Pier-
son, Inc., of Cromwell, Conn., sent 100 Commonwealth
Roses ; these did not arrive in the best of condition,
but gave an idea of the quality and characteristics
of the variety. C. C. Pollworth & Co. made an excel-
lent exhibit of cut Chrysanthemums and John Sten
of Red Wing, Minn., staged some nice Chrysanthe-
mums and an especially attractive large vase of show
flowers.

Holm & Olson and the Golden Rule each had fine
lots of potted Chrysanthemums, including some large,
well-grown specimens. The Merriam Park Floral Co.
staged Ferns, Cyclamen, Begonias and Cherries, and
Swanson, Inc., showed large groupings of palms,
specimen plants of these and ferns, and an especially
attractive grouping of Cyclamen containing a num-
ber of different varieties. H. F. Baker, in addition to
his fine nursery exhibit, had a group of palms. L. W.
Hill of the Great Northern Railroad Co. showed an
excellent group of Chrysanthemums, some cut flowers
and potted plants, especially fine quality. The F. T. D.
A. maintained a small and rather hurriedly con-
structed booth during the show.

The attendance during the first part of the week
was good, and indications are that the event was
a marked success.

The trade exhibitors were well represented and
on the whole, the competitive classes were strongly
contested.

With Carnations, C. C. Pollworth Co. gained first
with 100 white, 100 dark pink, 100 red and 50 striped.

Holm & Olson scored with 50 Laddie, while Will
Bros, led with 100 light pink. Will Bros, and John
Sten shared the minor prizes.

In the Rose classes, Poehlmann Bros, led with 100
Butterfly, 100 any other pink, 100 Milady, 100 white,
100 Mrs. A. Ward and 100 Premier. J.. F. Wilcox &
Sons scored with 100 Mrs. C. Russell and 100 Colum-
bia. A. N. Kinsman, Inc., scored with 50 Premier,
while John Sten scored with 50 Columbia as did the
Wlndmiller Co. with 50 Ophelia.

With a Colonial bouquet, bride's bouquet presenta-
tion bouquet, 20in. basket, and the two table decora-
tion classes, Holm & Olson were strong leaders.
Swanson's, however, beat them with a corsage bou-
quet.

Poehlmann Bros, led with 100 Lily of the Valley;
Hans Rosacker scored with 12 Lilium auratum ;
Mazey, Florist, with 12 L. speciosum, while Holm &
Olson led with 12 any other Lily, 25 sprays of Bou-
vardia.

John Sten alone showed double and single Violets;
H. Locker & Son, Milwaukee, scored with 100 Sweet
Peas, as did J. A. Weber with 25 spikes of Mignon-
ette.

Non-Competitive Exhibits

Holton & Hunkle, Milwaukee, staged a nice ex-
hibit of Pompon and other 'Mums, Carnations, Roses
and Lily of the Valley.

Kirscht Bros., Morton Grove, 111., sent a fine vase
of Carnation Harvester.

A group of unnamed seedling Chrysanthemums,
originated at the College of Agriculture, Urbana, 111.,
and grown by the Minneapolis Park Board received
much praise.

John Sten of Red Wing, Minn., put up a nice vase
of 'Mums and entered Violets, Roses and Carnations
in competition.

E. C. Amling Co., Chicago, made a fine display of
Roses, Carnations, Chrysanthemums and other cut
flowers. They also had a fine lot of Winter berries.

J. C. Vaughan, Chicago, had a nice lot of Chrysan-
themums on display.

The Stuppy Floral Co., St. Joseph, Mo., had two
nice vases of Annie Laurie, the beautiful deep sport
of Ophelia.

E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind., sent a large vase
of America, truly a wonderful Rose.

Monday night a banquet was held at Donaldson's
tea room. Some 175 florists and their ladies were
present. O. J. Olson and C. F. Rice furnished the
ducks for the occasion. Hugh Will acted as toast-
master and the show judges, Philip Breitmeyer, J. J.
Hess and W. J. Smyth gave short talks. Others
called on were Theo. Wirth, C. C. Pollworth, B. W.
Murphy, G. S. Wilson, Mrs. Pollworth, Joseph Chap-
man and O. J. Olson.

1922.

The Florists Exchange

1423

Monday afternoon a new Rose, a sport of Colum-
bia was christened Galll Curci. This was presented
by A. N. Kuesman, Inc., Austin. A new seedling
Chrysanthemum from Elmer D. Smith was christened
Cho-C'ho San in honor of a character in Madame
Butterfly.

Rainy weather interfered somewhat with the atten-
dance. Because of this the dates were extended to
Sunday the 19th in order to give the people of the
Twin Cities a better chance to see the show. All
visitors spoke very highly of the exhibition, and espe-
cially of the sunken garden, laid out by Louis Boeg-
lin of the Park System.

At the close of the show, all flowers usable, were
sent to the hospitals. .

The Flower Festival closed Sunday night, Nov. 19,
after a successful week from an attendance point. In
spite of the rainy weather interfering on Monday,
Friday and Saturday, 30,000 people in all attended.
(It was thought best to extend the time of closing
[from Thursday to Sunday night because of bad
•weather early in the week. About 2200 people visited
the show Sunday afternoon and evening. On Satur-
day forenoon school children, accompanied by their
teachers, were admitted free ; about 500 took advan-
tage of this offer and saw the show. The boys from
the disabled soldiers' hospitals and from some of the
-charitable institutions of the city were admitted in
the forenoon Saturday.

Saturday and Sunday each lady was presented with
.a Chrysanthemum or Rose, and Sunday evening the
■cut flowers and all flowers from the Park Board ex-
hibit were sent to the hospitals.

The people of the Twin Cities who saw the show
■were enthusiastic in regard to it and it will be much
■easier to put over another in the near future. The
newspapers gave liberal space; somewhat over 100
columns being devoted to the show. One of them put
■out a special 16-page section, almost entirely of horti-
cultural material and florist advertisements. The
success of the show can probably be laid pretty
largely to the advanced sale of tickets. This gave a
•working fund and insured against the lack of attend-
ance on rainy days.

One noticeable feature was the large number of the
wealthier class of the cities who attended. It was
noted by one who has had much experience in han-
dling shows that more of the wealthy people seemed

to be interested in this than in any other show which
has been held in the Twin Cities.

The sunken garden laid out by the Minneapolis
Park Board was probably the most attractive feature
of the show. Its attractiveness was enhanced by the
nursery exhibits placed along the walls by the fol-
lowing nurseries : C. N. Ruedlinger, C. C. Hunter Co.,
Holm & Olson, Rose Hill Nursery, H. F. Baker and
the Hoyt Nursery. On the main floor the exhibits of
orchids and the waterfall held the attention of the
crowd. A large proportion of the people spent some-
time iu the balcony viewing the exhibits from above
and listening to an especially good orchstra which
played high grade music, both afternoons and even-
ings. A large number of out-of-town visitors attended
the show on Monday and Tuesday; all spoke highly
of it and, in some cases, interested their townspeople
in making a visit to see the show.

Taking it all together the Flower Festival was un-
questionably worth while and a success.

New York Museum Show

By accident our reporter overlooked one page of his
notes when making up his report of the Fall show of the
Horticultural Society of New York and thereby omitted
to record the fact that Clement Moore, of Hackensack,

E.f J. Harrington, gdr., scored first with a collection of
hybrid Orchids not less than 20 plants. Some wonder-
fully fine samples of Cattleyas were noted in this beautiful
collection, notably C. Luminosa, B. C. Maronae, and B. C.
Ilene. The same exhibitor also scored first in Class No.
6 for a new seedling not in commerce. The silver medal
offered was won with Cattleya Phoebe Snow, one of the
finest pure whites ever shown, being from C. speciossis-
ima C. Coppein alba.

George Baldwin & Co., Marmaroneck, N. Y., and
Julius Roehrs, Rutherford, also showed in the group class
above mentioned.

John Condon— An Appreciation

Fred H. Wilshire, working for the late John Con-
don (Brooklyn, N. Y.) over a period of 33 years,
writes of his former employer, as follows :

•'His kindly and considerate nature may be well
illustrated when I say that during the entire time
of my employment never a cross word ever passed
between us.

"He was always a busy man, but I never saw him
too busy to give his attention to any matter which I
brought to his notice. 'Do It Now' was always his
motto.

"His will, showing his appreciation of our services,
directs that we five heads of the departments form a
corporation, and run the business as near as possible
under the same system as he had used, with a division
among ourselves of the entire profits.

"He was a great lover of flowers and always dis-
played artistic taste in their arrangement.

"He carried on the business established by his
father for 51 years, and which establishment I think
is the oldest in Brooklyn."

$50,000 for a Strawberry Plant

All the New York newspapers on Nov. 22 carried the
story of which the attached is a part. Needless to state,
"Woolgatherer" wants to know.

"Fifty thousand dollars for a single strawbery plant
was paid today by Frank E. Beatty, President of the R.
M. Kellogg Co., a fruit growing concern.

"The plant is to be known as 'Rockhill,' in honor of
its grower, Harlow Rockhill of Conrad, Iowa. The price
is believed here to be the highest ever paid for a single
strawberry plant. The plant bears in early Summer and
begins again in the late Summer, bearing continuously
until frost comes."

RETAIL DEPARTMENT

What the Florist Can Do With Post Cards

By CLARENCE T. HUBBARD

a;

-MU.XK TINNEY it was who said, "I like the fel-
^ low who says, put it all on one check."

A typical customer it was who said, "I like the
•How who says, put it all on one post card."
Seriously interpreted, this does not mean that all
iccessful florists advertising should go on post cards,
nt it does mean that post cards (and by that we
tean mailing cards and advertising announcements
E post card size) represent an existing and econom-
al form of advertisement that does get
lention.

Post cards are brief. They present thc-
essage quickly. Their very composition
revents them from being crumpled and
irown away. They are informal and in-
ividual. In brief, post card advertising is
practical and persistent medium of pub-
city that well lends itself to the florist
jsiness.

To the florist mailing cards are recom-
ended as good reminder and business get-
ng mediums. They ease in and get al-
ntion where sometimes a letter causes
ist the reverse. And their circulation is
rger than that of a sealed or folded letter,
they pass through many hands. Several
side from the recipient see and read them.
|hey are messages to the whole family,
nd they have a habit of lingering a long
•hile on a person's desk.
An example is the card employed by a
jrtain retail florist. It is a return card
icluded with a descriptive booklet of his
EEerings, and which is sent out with every
ill to all business executives. The card is
lustrated at the top with a small cut of
a appropriate nature and then in dark
reen ink presents the following appeal :

Business — Isn't Always Business
Business Friendship, Business Good
Will, and Business Appreciation count.
The Welfare of your important busi-
ness sources is an important business
thought.

How often do you send flowers to the
hotel for the enjoyment of the wives of
your visiting representatives or cus-
tomers? How often to the homes of
your employees? How often to mark the
birthdays of your associate workers?

Many thoughtful business men do —
and it pays them. Let us be of such
service to you. Even the shortest of
notice can get our quick response.
A return card of splendid design and
aviation is offered in the one described
)llowing. Printed on buff stock, it has
l one side a border in dark orange enclos-
[g a reproduction of a clock face on which
le word "now" is printed. Over this il-
istration the following words appear :

"On the Great Clock of Time
There Is But One Word— Now."

— Shakespeare.
Mail This Cakd Now !
Gentlemen :

Your offer interests me. Send me a
basket of the mixed flowers you are
offering.

Name Street and No

Town State

The stimulation of collections can be assisted by
lailing cards, either enclosed in envelopes with no-
ces or sent directly. Following is copy appearing
l a mailing card designed for such purposes. It
lould be sent out in a plain white envelope. Arriv-
ig in this manner it immediately gains attention, and
le card in its unique appearance and copy generally
reduces the tardy money. It has a black border of
aeven design with a picture of a cheque at the top
ad a pen apparently signing the name. Bed ink
ickgrounds are included with the copy following
lered :

Won't You 0. K. and Pass Me on for

Immediate Payment?

You see I'm very small, but when there are a

number of us outstanding we grow too big for

the folks back home! — besides, I wouldn't want

to annoy you by coming back again next month —

Do make out a cheque for me — now — the folks
at home will appreciate it and —

Thank You !

The size of mailing cards, strictly speaking, should
L»e around three by five inches. Anything smaller
than two and one-half by four inches makes a very
poor appearance, and is not very welcome at the post
office if sent without being enclosed.

Vase of Cut Orchids and Foliage. By Lachaume, Paris

The broad and varied ways in which mailing cards
can be used add largely to their value. For practical
examples consider :

(a) As direct mail appeals at a mailing cost of one
cent each.

(b) As announcement enclosures to be sent out
with regular correspondence, bills, and other mail
(though do not send such cards describing one offer-
ing along with advertising material entirely descrip-
tive of something else, as one confuses the other).

(c) As return cards in connection with letters and
advertisements to gain orders or the privilege of send-
ing further details.

( d ) As collection reminders,
(e.) As holiday reminders.

(f) As customers' birthday and anniversary "tie-
ups."

(g) As a quick means of circulating special an-
nouncements, changes of address, changed telephone
numbers, etc.

) h ) As testers of old and new mailing lists,
(i) As convenient advertisements to carry in a
pocket or keep on the counter.

In the specific use of "return cards" some competi-
tion is to be reckoned with. The plan is so evident
in daily use that it pays the florist advertiser using
this method to employ as much originality as possible.
Your return card should be so constructed as to carry
along the "urge" imparted to the customer in your
letter or folder. In its appearance and "get-up" it
should sort of suggest to the recipient — "Better mail
me — really you've got to admit it, it's to your advan-
tage." In fact, this expression itself might prove
appropriate to be used on a mailing card enclosure.

On this subject, the eternal question always arises,
shall I or shall I not stamp the return card? This is
an opeu question — there is no general an-
swer. It is sometimes an advantage and
other times of no special value. It has
been many times tested with surprising re-
sults. But this much can be said — a stamp
on your return cards never lessens its
possibilities.

If you are appealing to a high-class
clientele a return stamped card is not nec-
essary. As a means of convenience to busy
executives it sometimes helps, but its ab-
sence does not diminish its value. To flo-
rists using return post cards it is suggested :
Use a stamped post card when you are
especially anxious to gain specific infor-
mation in reply— perhaps for a mailing list.
Use a stamped post card when circulariz-
ing rural districts.

Use a stamped post card when appealing
to ladies.

Use unstamped cards when the card is
designed to bring a request for a booklet
or a telephone call.

Use an unstamped post card when ap-
pealing to a high-class list.

In an article ou advertising appearing
some time ago in Printers' Ink by C. 0.
Casey, the following good suggestion with
return cards was brought out :

"Another stunt on cards that gets re-
sults on some propositions, and with some
kinds of lists, is to enclose two cards, one
of them filled in and the other blank. Lots
of men like to keep a copy of what they
sign. This is the type of man who will
have your card copied on his letterhead
and keep your card, or who will simply
dictate a line or two and keep the usual
copy of the letter. * * * The duplicate
card has another advantage also. Most men
have friends, and when a man is sufficiently
sold to order an article by mail — that is,
to use your card — he may defend his judg-
ment by passing the idea and the extra
card along to a friend. I have encountered
this type of man often in selling a desk
specialty. I have had inquiries from St.
Louis acknowledging letters also answered
iu Massachusetts, and two orders from the
same letters are not unusual."

The opinion of another advertiser is
given in the following extract :

"The date was put in and the man's name
was filled in through exactly the same
shade of ribbon, and to all intents and pur-
poses it was a separately typewritten card
for each individual letter.

"It pays to do the little things, like filling
in the name on the card, which adds per-
sonality, for two reasons :

"First, it increases returns because every

man likes the little individualities which

show him that even the return post card

was intended for him — not processed for just anybody.

It creates respect, if well done, and takes even form

letters out of the form letter class.

"Second, it corrected the mailing list, because any
error in the spelling of the name of the individual or
firm was pretty certain to be corrected.

"On filled-in cards there should always be a place
for the initials of the man whose name is filled in,
because a card will occasionally get mailed which
was not actually returned by the man whose name
you filled in. If he puts his initials on it on an O. K.
line you know he has approved it. Of course, it costs
money to fill in cards — nearly as much as to fill in
letters— but it pays. The filled-in card, if properly
done, gives just about as much pull as a stamp gives
on an ordinary card."

Many original methods can be tried and in this
effort the florist should not become too undignified.

they should be mailed with some discre-
tion.

Illustrations are highly recommended
for use on mailing- cards. Do not make
your card too conspicuous in its appeal,
but strive to have it pleasing in its ap-
pearance through the use of tints, proper
typography and appropriate borders.
Some retailers send out mailing cards
which are multigraphed or processed to
good appearance. Others have them
printed. One merchant is using the novel
idea of producing such cards by phosto-
stat — which turns out clear and good
appearing cards at a very moderate cost.
Double cards are also popular wherein
through attachment by perforations a
return card accompanies the original ap-
peal.

As a conclusion to this article, two
more floral mailing (or counter distribut-
ing) cards are described for the example
and suggestion they contain. Number
one is a specimen card of the type that
can be sent directly without the associa-
tion of. other material. It can be printed
either on a simple design or made elab-
orate— but to be most effective it should
appear a light reproduction of a wish-
bone, the message to be printed over such
a cut:

Wishing
Is with some a pleasure, others a
practice, and many a habit. We
wish you were one of our custom-
ers, but there is only one way to
make the wish come true, that is to
ask. Will you help us make that
wish materialize? Once you do, you
will wish you had done it long ago."
The last illustration is a card that
characterizes an appeal that can serve
as an "opener," in a mailing campaign
either preceding in its arrival other mail-
ing material, or used in connection with
a double post card :

Betteb Than the Best Letter
Your thoughts Crystalized and Ex-
pressed better than the best letter —
yes, even better than the highest paid
author could do.

Flowers
Why struggle or even attempt to
send wishes by mail for birthdays ;
anniversaries ; friendship offerings
and promotions when Nature made
flowers which express and convey
your sentiment in all sincerity and
genuineness? They are better than
the best letter.

Florists Opportunities and the
Drama

There is no question that the custom
of presenting flowers to prima donnas,
leading ladies, etc., has in the past been
responsible for some very satisfactory
florist business. Something rather dif-
ferent, but just as attractive from the
florist's standpoint, came to light in the
course of a recent conversation with a
retailer located not far from the New
York City "white light" district of
Broadway. This particular dealer had
just been engaged by the property man
of a certain theatrical company then
about to open in Manhattan, to supply
four dozen Carnations and two Roses for
every single performance of the play;
these, as we understand it, to be dis-
tributed from the stage among the audi-

market, but a four-dozen order for any-
where from eight to ten or more per-
formances a week constitutes a regular
source of income that has decidedly at-
tractive features. Half a dozen such
orders, if this were possible, would cer-
tainly make a man feel that his salary
envelope was assured for the duration
of the dramatic season, at least. More-
over, the price charged in this particu-
lar case is based upon market prices of
the flowers week by week, which means
that those weeks that include special
holiday performances will also be marked
by the highest market prices for the
stock.

Florists who visit New York, who en-
joy a good musical comedy, and who
are not averse to helping along the
business of a brother florist by contrib-
uting to the "run" of this piece, can do
worse than drop in at some performance
of "Little Nellie Kelly."

Society of American Florists and
Ornamental Horticulturists

National Publicity Campaign

Information furnished by John Young,
43 West 18lh Street. New York

The campaign fund is moving slowly up
to the $40,000 mark, considerably below
the point the Publicity Committee had
hoped it would reach. Some very good
advertising has been planned for Decem-
ber, a good deal of which will appear in
the magazines for that month, now about
on sale. Judging from the reports from
different markets, the florist industry is
greatly in need of stimulus, a stimulus
which can only come from publicity work
of this kind. Were the committee in a
position to expend $100,000 within the
nest two or three months, it would not
be a penny too much — and when the ex-
tent of our industry is considered, it would
not be more than might reasonably have
been expected. When it is considered
that there are about 20,000 or more
florists in the country, all to be benefited
by the campaign, it does seem that thou>-
sands of otherwise astute business men
are not alive to their opportunity to give
their businesses a good boost. Of the sev-
eral other industries who have been prose-
cuting publicity campaigns similar to our
own, hardly one can be mentioned whose
efforts have slackened in an appreciative
degree;; nor do they appear to have the
difficulty in getting funds together as we
have. Just why the florist industry hangs
back is hard to understand. We have
the greatest slogan ever conceived, and
it has taken root everywhere, but if we
want to see it develop into a vigorous
growth, we must pay the price, and it
is up to the florists to furnish the where-
withal. Nobody can deny that every
branch of our calling has reaped benefit,
and still we have only scratched the sur-
face of our immense field. If you, Mr.
Reader, have not already contributed to
the fund, won't you sit right down and
write a cheque for what you think you
ought to give, or can afford? It is rather
hard on those who have generously con-
tributed to be expected to do it all; you
would not like it yourself. The season is
ripe for greater effort, and through you
it can be made.

Just a word to the many who have sent
in pledges but have not fulfilled them.
The committee, very properly, has counted
upon your contributions materializing,
and has been put to much trouble because
you have not made good. The dull season
has passed, and surely there can be no
great reason for further delay. The com-
mittee will feel gratified for an immediate

Trade Notes

The several branches of the indus-
try in Kansas City have boldly "taken
the bull by the horns." and are trying
earnestly and with a surprising amount
of good feeling, to work a solution for
the perennial problem: "How shall the
available supply be best adjusted to the
demand?"

The situation here is doubtless the
same as in most cities of the size and
importance of Kansas City. There is oc-
casionally a glut of cut flowers — there
was such a glut of Roses this Fall. Whole-
salers tried to move, locally and to the
surrounding territory, the production of
local growers. Because other districts
were probably glutted also, thousandsof
blooms were sent to Kansas City — being
bought largely by department stores and
others, and sold at extremely low prices.
The net result was that consignors had
to receive reports of incomplete clear-
ances, and retailers had to see stock
wasted, while local growers who had their
own retail outlets were in some cases un-
able to move flowers at satisfactory prices.
Some growers are said to have averaged,
scarcely two cents apiece for Roses.

Several solutions have been offered, and
some steps have been taken, tentatively,
toward increasing the distribution from
Kansas City. At the monthly meeting
of the Florists Club, the matter was thor-
oughly discussed, growers, consignment
men and retailers participating. There
has seemed in Kansas City, for a time, a
tendency toward withdrawal of growers
and commission men from as full coop-
eration with retailers as had existed here-
tofore, but the frank expressions and
threshing out of the matter in the club
seems to have helped toward harmony.
The temporary alignment of some commis-
sion men with growers, produced the sug-
gestion that commission men be
"permitted" to sell surplus at low
prices to department stores — that is,
that retailers admit the advantage
to all concerned of moving a surplus
quickly at the best possible figure. Some
retailers declared that they favored such
action, realizing, they said, that if the
department stores did not get cheaper
stock locally, they would get it from out-
side, bringing a further excess to the mar-
ket.

The growers and commission men have
arranged for a small amount of money as
a publicity fund; for their own objectives,
distinct from the publicity fund of the
local club to which they also contributed.

A New Angle on Publicity

The outcome of the discussion was
the attainment of a new angle on the ad-
vertising of flowers, and use of the pub-
licity fund. This was that, instead of ad-
vertising flowers at times and on occa-

sions when the public was inclined to buy
flowers anyway, and flowers were not in
surplus supply, some advertising be done
at "off seasons" for demand, when blooms
are plentiful. Especially, it was suggest-
ed, that effort be made to move surplus,
and relieve glut. For instance, it was
definitely proposed that whenever there
is an excess of any flower, the surplus
be disposed to any and all buyers, and
that retailers cooperate with department
stores or anybody else, in a great sale of
the particular flower. The advertising
would, in such a case, explicitly state the
facts about the supply, so as to make
quite clear to the public the existence of
a surplus as the reason for the low price.
By such course, it was urged, the public
would be given the advantage of the
situation; would not gain any false no-
tions of real values and would be gener-
ally encouraged to buy flowers. The adop-
tion of some such program would, it was
offered, result in more careful grading
by growers as w_ell as by retailers, so
that more exact values would be offered
the public.

The development of this discussion in
Kansas City revealed a rather curious
situation as to advertising of flowers.
This was that nobody has ever thought
of advertising flowers in general, cooper-
atively, except on what might be called
"floral" occasions. Growers and commis-
sion men, who have been members of the
publicity committees in past years, have
seemed to accept the traditions of flower
advertising, and have not proposed any j
different program from that consistently :
pursued. The publicity has been so ef- J
fective and satisfactory for growers, com- i
mission men and retailers that there was
no hint of criticism. The retailers seemed

Florists' Meeting

The regular monthly meeting of the
Kansas City Florists Club was held Wed-
nesday evening, Nov. 15, with a particu-
larly representative attendance Of grow-
ers, wholesalers and retailers. The new
president, William J. Barnes, delivered
his inaugural address. There was dis-
cussion on publicity followed by the ap-
pointment of a committee on this sub-
ject, mainly William L. Rock, chairman;
T. J. Noll, representing wholesalers; John
Klaus and John Stevens, representing
growers, Mr. Rock being authorized to
•complete the committee.

John Klaus gave a very interesting
and lively report of his observations of
floriculture and flower merchandising in
Europe made during his recent trip. His
brother, Alois Klaus, is a florist in Swit-
zerland, and is growing a variety of Car-
nation which Mr. Klaus believes ought

to be produced and widely distributed in
this country. He attended the flower
show at Berlin, the time covered by it
and its great extent much impressing
him. He had also visited the flower show
at Munich. Many human interest touch-
es in his story regarding floriculture and
other incidents made his talk sparkle.
Miss Mary Hayden, who visited the St.
Louis flower show, gave a brief descrip-
tion of it, commenting on especially at-
tractive and valuable features.

M. E. Carter, secretary of the William
L. Rock Flower Co., visited the Denver
flower show, bringing back suggestions
which may be used in plans for a show
in Kansas City. He was impressed by
the large attendance which was attracted;
no admission fee was charged. The fact
that this show was held without premiums
on a cooperative basis, and that it was so
successful, both in point of display and in
point of attendance, provided argument in
favor of a free show, without premiums.

News Items

The first real Fall weather has
helped materially to stimulate trade in
all branches. Saturday, Nov. 18, was
rather warm, but the cold rain of Friday
apparently brought the public to the con-
viction that Winter was almost here. The
rain put a check on planting programs by
landscape architects.

Locally grown Chrysanthemums are in
good supply, and moving well. One flo-
rist produced an unusually early stock,
and is now about cleaned out of his
'Mums.

Two florists have joined the Kansas City
Advertising Club, and others are consid-
ering this step, as a means of improving
their acquaintance with the subject of
advertising.

John Stevens, grower, near Independ-
ence, Mo., is erecting a house 300ft. x40ft.
15,000 additional feet of glass, making a
total of 82,000 in his plant. The new
house is to be finished by Feb. 15.

A Departmental Florist

L. R. Bohannon gave to the Flo-
rists Club recently an interesting and in-
structive picture of flower retailing in
Texas. He had been particularly struck
with the size and character of a retail
establishmentment at Beaumont, where
the owner had added many incidental
lines that were providing large volume.
This florist not only supplied flowers for
occasions, but also the favors, the linen
and dishes, the cakes and wedding pres-
ent. The stock of antiques in this store
was unusual. Mr. Bohannon remarked
on the obvious advantage that this flo-
rist had taken of the opportunity to mer-
chandise other items than flowers, in a
flower store.

All Saints Day

W. J. Barnes, president of the Kan-
sas City Florists Club, has started a
movement in Kansas City for more gener-
ous recognition of All Saints Day, as an
occasion for decorating graves. This day
is widely observed in Europe, he men-
tioned; and also in the Southern part of

this country. There, are enough south-

Armistice Day Enterprise

From the far away State of Washing-
ton comes a letter from Hoyt Bros. Co.,
florists in the city of Spokane, telling of
an act of recognition on their part which
most certainly not only redounds to their
credit, but will prove beneficial to them
in their business for months to come.
For Armistice Day they had secured the
names and addresses of ail the Gold Star
mothers in the city of Spokane, and on
that day sent to each one a worth while
box of flowers with their compliments.
They say : "Through this action we
struck a responsive chord both with the
Gold Star mothers as well as with the
public. Our Sunday paper gave us a
pleasant write-up, and tne distribution
gave us the reputation of doing good, and
as well assisted us from the advertising
point of view."

Montclair, N. J.

The "Mildred Presby" Chrysanthe-
mum has had the unique experience of
adorning the wedding of Miss Mildred
Presby, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
H. Presby of Montclair, N. J., who was
married on Nov. (j at St. Luke's Church
to Nathan Corwith, Jr. of Highland
Park, 111. The Chrysanthemums in arm
bouquets were carried by the bridesmaids
and were also used as a decoration at
the church and at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Presby at 95 Upper Mountain ave.
This Chrysanthemum, the most beautiful
of all single pinks, was raised by Charles
H. Totty of Madison, N. J., and named
by him for Miss Presby.

Pride in One's Town

In a recent issue we published an
article in the Retail Department — "How
a Progressive Retail Florist Is Putting
Coffeyville on the Map," coming from
our Kansas City correspondent and deal-
ing with the enterprise of Mr. and Mrs.
W. G. Coupland, the acquaintance of
both of whom was made by the majority
of those who attended the recent S. A. F.
and O. H. Convention at Kansas City.
Since the publication of that article on
Oct. 28, Mr. and Mrs. Coupland have
addressed us a letter in which they say
that they hardly feel entitled to all the
good things our correspondent says about
them, because some measure of credit
must be given to the residents of the
town itself and the surrounding country
for "had they not been of the disposi-
tion to 'Say it with Flowers' and say it
generously, we would not have been in
a position to give them what we have."
Then they go on to speak about Coffey-
ville in a way which shows how highly
they appreciate its inhabitants as well
as its enterprise :

"It is one of the best towns in the
country. A manufacturing town and
railroad center ; and while it is perhaps
not known in the effete East, it is surely
known in the West — for does not the
West walk on Coffeyville brick, live
under Coffeyville tile roofs, supported
upon Coffeyville hollow tile, ride around
the country driven by Coffeyville gaso-
line ; case, tube and pack their gas and
oil wells with Coffeyville packers, etc. ;
eat bread and cake made from Coffey-
ville flour — while the whole United
States paints its houses with paint made
with Coffeyville zinc oxide in it, and if
they will only give us time, the country-
wide will use Coffeyville flowers."

Frost Flowers

The flowers that only yesterday

So fair and fragrant stood
Along the garden paths, a rare

And radiant sisterhood,
Were black and shriveled with the cold.

"How sad it is," said I,
"That all these sweet and lovely things

Alas! are doomed to die."

That night a norther sweeping down

From polar regions vast
Unfurled the banners of the snow

And sealed the fountain fast;
But in the morn I found the flowers

The bitter frost had slain
In spirit beauty blossoming

Upon the windowpane.

Lancaster, Pa.

Lancaster County Florists Association

Everything happens on Thursday in
Lancaster. All trips planned are always
planned for Thursday, and the meetings
of the Florists Club are always the third
Thursday of the month, excepting when
it comes too close to Easter or Christmas.
As the December meeting hits this time,
it will be Dec. 14 instead of Dec. 21.

The meeting Nov. 16 was a dinner meet-
ing, held at the Stevens House, starting
at 6 p.m. with a good representative
crowd in attendance.

After coffee, E. K. Hibschman, assist-
ant to the president of the State College,
Pennsylvania, gave a very interesting talk
on the work being done in that institu-
tion. He called attention to the fact that
over a thousand students have to be re-
fused admittance each term, on account of
lack of room for housing them. The col-
lege is now making a drive for $2,000,000
for the purpose of putting up dormitory
and other needed buildings, and the flo-
rists are asked to contribute sufficient to
put up one of these buildings. A meeting
of the florists of the western part of the
State will be held this month to consider
this subject, and another will no doubt
be held in the eastern section for the
same purpose. Elmer Weaver and Albert
M. Herr were appointed by Pres. Harry
K. Rohrer as a committee to see 'that
Lancaster was properly represented in
this movement.

Mr. Hibschman stated that of the 3500
students now at State College, 800 of them

are taking the agricultural course, which
is divided into floriculture, horticulture,
dairying and general agriculture. That
the research work and the experimental
station had added many dollars to the
agricultural and floricultural interests of
Pennsylvania is certain, and the florists
should not hesitate to put up any of their
problems to the State College for advice
and assistance. Prof. C. E. Myers has
charge of the plant breeding, and Prof.
E. L. Nixon of plant diseases, both ex-
perts in their particular line.

Ed. Reid, president of the Philadelphia
Florists Club, gave a talk on "Common
Sense in Our Business and Our General
Life." He strongly advocated organiza-
tion and cooperation, both in the buying
and selling ends of our business. He em-

Shasized the fact that prices were on the
ownward trend, with expenses going the
other way, and that it was necessary to
watch every detail and save on the ex-
pense side wherever possible. The old,
old question of grower vs. retailer ana
the lack of cooperation between the two
was brought up. The retailer is mighty
glad to get stock when it is scarce and
the demand good, but very slow and in-
different when there happens to be a glut.
He also called attention to the rotten
service given at this time by the express
company, and the lack of any organized
effort on the part of any of the florists
societies to remedy it.

Getting back to costs, he said that we

ought to devise ways and means to keep

tab on what stock costs to produce. Mr.

Hibschman said that they were developing

| cost systems at State College and would

along these lines.

Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Uley, the retail
florists of Harrisburg, and Miss Helen Z.
Nolty and Lu. V. Rook from the Berry
Hill "Nurseries were visitors, with a view
of organizing a florists club in Harris-
burg. Mr. Uley being called on said that
he hoped to see a chair of floral art es-
tablished at State College when this $2,-
000,000 drive was successfully completed.

Elmer Weaver gave an account of the
trip to the Reading Flower Show.

Rudolph Nagel staged a handsome bunch
of Chadwick 'Mums, and the B. F. Barr
Co. had several baskets of 'Mums for
table decorations. The Millersville State
Normal School had a dinner in the ad-
jacent dining room, and Mrs. A. M.
Herr, with the consent of B. F. Barr,
presented one of these baskets to the
school party with the compliments of the
club.

The December meeting will be held at
the Stevens House at 6 p.m. Don't forget,
Deo. 14.

News Notes

The retail trade continues about
the same with all flowers getting better
every day, but the demand is not keeping
pace with the production. Very high
class stock moves pretty freely, and the
cheaper grades find a fair market, but the
in-between samples have a hard time of
it, and some find their way to the dump.
Growers are hopeful, but not particularly
optimistic.

Peter Brown has sold out his 17 million
more or less Pansies, and is now busy
with Geraniums.

Now that politics are over, Fred Ritehy
is also back to the Geranium business.

With building operations about com-
pleted, the writer is also on the job with
his Geraniums, so that Lancaster will
have its usual supply to ship out this sea-
son.

Rudolph Nagel finds that outdoor stock
does not pay in competition with the
farmer and the amateur, who regard
every cent brought in from this stock as
velvet. His early Chrysanthemums grown
under glass did not give the results that
they do grown outdoors, and he will re-
vert to that method for next season. We
all remember the wonderful stock pro-
duced by Mr. Nagel several years back.
Right now he is cutting some wonderful
Chadwick and his own special strain of
Snapdragons. He also is growing blocks
of Cyclamen, Primula and Cherries. These
are as fine as any Long Island stock, and
that is saying a good deal.

Mr. Nagel nas installed blowers under
his boilers, and is getting good results from
river coal, which he has contracted for
at $4 per ton delivered on the place. This
river coal has been accumulating on the
river bottom for years from the anthra-
cite mines up the State, and is being
dredged at various points on the Susque-
hana. One bf our big manufacturing
plants, the Armstrong Linoleum Co., has
spent some $20,000 in fitting their plant
to use it, and as they use about 9000 tons
per month, they figure the saving will pay
tor the installation very quickly.

Outside of this river coal, anthracite
is not available excepting in ton lots, but
bituminous can be had in any quantity
at prices ranging from $3.50 to $4.50 at
the mines, with freight rate of about $3
and cartage expenses of $1. This does not
spell reduced costs. Albert M. Herr.

Ballston Spa, N. Y. — C. K. Petersen
has purchased the florist business of
John C. Robinson, whose range covers
some 12,000ft. of glass, fully stocked and
uptodate. Mr. Petersen comes from
Great Neck, L. I. ; his address for the
future will be Box 987, Ballston Spa,

The Market

Nov. 20. — Despite the arrival of
large quantities of stock of all kinds,
business was such that it absorbed prac-
tically everything up to Saturday, and
if it had not rained on that day, every-
thing would have cleaned up in good
shape. Of course, the annual football
game between Pitt and W. & J. caused
a big demand for yellow 'Mums, but
most of the retail stores stocked up on
Thursday and Friday for fear there
would not be enough, so when Saturday
arrived the demand was light, but at
that there was not much stock carried
over by the wholesale houses.

Let the supply of any item slow up
and the demand will exceed the supply.
For instance, it has been almost impos-
sible to realize any price for Am. Beauty
during 'Mum season. Last week the
supply fell off and everyone wanted Am.
Beauty, consequently it was impossible
to fill all orders. The supply of other
Roses was enough to fill all orders, with
the exception of shorts ; more of these
could have been sold.

Carnations are on the increase, but
the demand is not brisk ; nevertheless,
prices are better than usual at this sea-
son.

'Mums predominate the market, but
there has been no glut and it does not
look as if there would be any. The only
worry now is, will the supply last until
Thanksgiving, as many of the late va-
rieties are now on the market? Bonnaf-
fon is still the favorite. Other varieties
include Chieftain, both white and pink,
Dr. Enguehart, Chas. Rager, Yellow and
White Turner, and Chadwick. Pompons
are good property and are moving better
than they have for several seasons.

The supply of Sweet Peas is on the
increase, but they are hard to move at
times. Lilies are about equal between
supply and demand and the quality is
of the best. Valley seems to have come
into its own again and is moving freely.

Orchids have been scarce and more could
have been sold. Some growers are still
sending in a few outdoor flowers, such as
Marigolds and Dahlias, but not in any
quantity.

A resume of the November business,
so far, leaves no doubt but what the
month will show a big increase over last
season, with returns to the growers about
25 per cent better than last year.

News Notes

James McLaughlin, manager of
the Cleveland-McCallum Co., visited the
Pittsburgh store last week. He also
paid a visit to the company's greenhouses
at Evans City, Pa.

The A. W. Smith Flower Stores Co.
have been showing some well-grown
Golden Wedding 'Mums from their own
greenhouses. This firm is about the only
one in this section who still grows this
variety.

Mrs. E. A. Williams, Inc., are showing
some specimen blooms of Chrysanthe-
mums from one of the private estates of
Sewickley. They are having no trouble
selling them at two to three dollars each,
the proceeds of which go to the Red
Cross.

Mr. Gibson of The Zieger Co. is^ re-
ported to be seriously ill with very little
hope of his recovery. E. C. Tipton.

Auburn, N. Y.

Nov. 18. — The mild weather of the past
week, while favorable to the coal bin,
has shortened the 'Mum season noticeably
and has hastened crops generally.

Large Chrysanthemums continue in fa-
vor and Pompons go fairly well. Roses
and Carnations do not move at all. The
light amount of funeral work does not
require even the normal quantity.

Of Chrysanthemums, Bonnaffon, En-
guehardt, Marigold and Chas. Rager are
just past. Nagoya, Roman Gold, Harvard
and Patie are nicely in, and Seidewitz
is almost ready.

A good grade of plants, including Cher-
ries, Primroses, Cyclamen and ferns are
now moving. W. B.

Elmira, N. Y.

News Notes

Nov. 19. — With the exception of
a few funerals, business has been rather
quiet the past week, but we all hope
there will be a good demand of flowers
for Thanksgiving near at hand.

Mrs. C. Jackson has returned from
Scranton, Pa., where she attended the

tically of what she saw there.

Sheeley Bros have opened their new

The Market

Nov. 21. — Conditions in the Whole-
sale Cut Flower Market show, on the
whole, a little improvement in the de-
mand, and consequently, prices are some-
what firmer and higher. The arrival of
'Mums, which have been the leading
flower now for many weeks, though quite
sufficient, are somewhat smaller. On the
other hand, Roses, especially in the high-
er grades, show an increasing supply.

There are normally large arrivals of
American Beauty Roses, which are mov-
ing out none too fast at 4c. to 60c, cov-
ering all grades. In other Roses, the
supply of the No. 2 grade is much short-
er and that in the grades from No. 1
to specials is increasing. Top grade
blooms are selling at Se. to 15c. each in
general, but Hadley of that grade is real-
izing 25e. and Key 35c. No. 2 grade
Roses are selling at $2 to $4 per 100.

Carnations are in medium large sup-
ply and are meeting with somewhat bet-
ter demand at $2 to H per 100 in gen-
eral, but at $5 to $8 for the choicest
blooms of the preferred varieties.

Cattleyas of high quality are still in
short supply, but there appears to be
plenty of them coming in of small size
and poor quality. The higher grades are
bringing $1 to $2 each, but the inferior
or damaged flowers are bringing 50c. It
would appear that some of these lower-
grade flowers were in the market last
week selling at about 50c. each, but they
escaped our attention.

Uardenias are still on the short side
and are realizing S3 to $6 a doz. White
Lilies are meeting with a somewhat better-

demand at $15 to $25 per 100 and rub-
rums still continue to move rather slowly
at $4 to $15.. The supply and demand in
the case of Lily of the Valley appear to
be well balanced. Prices range from $1
to $6 per 100. There is still some white
Bouvardia in the market and an increas-
ing supply of the colored varieties selling
at 50c. to $1 per bunch. By the way, the
word "bunch" in the case of Bouvardia,
as well as in that of some other flowers,
does not indicate very clearly the num-
ber of flowers or sprays, as they vary
from 6 to 12

The arrivals of Chrysanthemums, though
large, are smaller than those of last
week. The large flowered varieties are
selling at from 75c. to $6 per doz., $4 be-
ing the high price in general. The bunch
varieties are bringing 25c to 50c. a bunch.
We note that the good yellow Pompons
are no longer in large supply.

The list of miscellaneous flowers in-
cludes an increasing supply of Antirrhi-
num, a few bunches of Myosotis, a short
supply of Sweet Peas, and of Violets,
both of double and single varieties, and
of Calendula, all of which are meeting
with a moderately good demand at quoted
prices.

The arrivals of indoor grown and hardy
greens appear to be sufficient to meet all
requirements and to be meeting with an
increasing demand.

Thanksgiving Day

The next holiday which the florists
can reasonably expect to increase the
sales of flowers will be Thursday, Nov.
30, Thanksgiving Day. In the wholesale
cut flower market the outlook is for a
normal supply of all seasonable flowers
to meet the requirements of the local
and neighboring retail florists for filling
both their local and P. T. D. orders, and
also for the wholesaler's shipping orders.
Some retailers, we are informed are en-
(Continned on. page 1446)

tleyas, including Labiata, Trianae,

and we can confidently recommend
them from now on.

The Market

Nov. 21. — A much desired change
for the best has taken place in market
conditions since last report. Cooler
weather has reduced the supply of stock
and put a mild stimulus into the demand.
The shipping trade has been good and
the local trade is assuming considerable
activity. A large amount of stock is be-
ing moved daily and prices are gradually
reaching the point that brings satisfac-
tion to the growers. It is believed now
that the period of inactivity and low
prices has passed for a long time to come.
There will, of course, be bargain lots in
low grade 'Mums as long as the season
lasts, but in no other line of stock. The
advance demand for Thauksgiving is al-
ready active and the forecast is that there
will be a good demand with ample stock
to meet it. Thanksgiving prices will be-
come effective next Monday; the dealers
are mailing their price lists this week.

There has been a falling off in the
supply of Roses, especially in the shorter
grades, but enough of the long and fancy
stock. This shortage, during the high
mark of the Chrysanthemum season de-
notes the foresight of the growers who
have planned for the heavy cut to come
when the 'Mums are gone, and when bet-
ter prices will be obtainable, so that
the Rose may have full sway through the
holiday season. Premier, Columbia, Mme.
Butterfly are leaders in their colors. In
red, Crusader and Milady occupy about
the same position in the buyers' estima-
tion. Double White Killamey has the
market practically to itself, although
there are a few of the newer whites of-
fered. These are not, however, in suffi-
cient quantity to make much impression
on the market. The quotations for
Thanksgiving range from $6 per 100 for
short, to $30 for special and fancy
grades. In the smaller Roses fdr cor-
sage work, Cecile Brunner and Golden
Ophelia are the most popular.

The Chrysanthemum season has passed
the pinnacle of the season's supply and
while there is plenty still on the mar-
ket, there is a gradual falling off in the
bulk of the daily consignments, which
will continue to a larger extent until the
season is closed. The Bonnaffon is lead-
er in yellow and Chieftain, pink and
white, are favorites as well. There are
plenty of Pompons and not much trouble
in disposing of all the bright colored sorts
that come in. There are, however, many
off colored varieties in bronze, and other
nondescript shades which need pushing.
The yellows are the best seller in the
Pompons as well as in the large flowered
varieties.

Carnations are moving better; there
have not been quite so many on account
of darker weather; then, too, the growers
endeavor to miss the height of the Chrys-
anthemum season.

There are enough Easter Lilies and
plenty of Callas. Sweet Peas are only
fairly plentiful; weather conditions are

not right. In Valley there is enough;
the same applies to orchids. Cattleyas
and Cypripediums are the most plentiful.
Violets are more plentiful, but so far,
are not in active demand. Paperwhite
Narcissus has been with us some time
and it takes some diplomacy to move it
at $6 per 100. Ferns have advanced to
$4 per 1000. Boxwood is now freely of-
fered and the red Winterberries are to
be seen with most of the dealers.

News Notes

The E. C. Amling Co. made an
exhibit of cut flowers at the Minneapolis
flower show the past week. It included
41 varieties of Pompon Chrysanthemums,
11 varieties of Roses, six varieties of
Carnations, besides Lily of the Valley and
other choice stock. John Michelsen and
Geo. Mohn were present and attended
to the display which was so much ad-
mired.

J. C. Vaughan states that in a conver-
sation with Theodore Wirth over long
distance 'phone, Saturday, that gentleman
stated that the closing days of the exhibi-
tion were a success from a viewpoint of
attendance.

Hans Jepson, Maywood, is sending to
A. T. Pyfer & Co., some fine late Chrys-
anthemums in both Pompons and large
flowering varieties. He has some won-
derful specimen blooms of Celebration.
This is a large, late yellow on the style
of Yellow Eaton, but an improvement on
same. At the recent St. Louis show, a
premium was offered for 25 blooms of
this variety, but there were no entries.

Geo. Bahr, son of Fritz Bahr, author
and florist of Highland Park, has just
completed the trip from Highland Park
to Los Angeles, Cal., in 11 days. This
was "going some." The message of his
safe arrival was received Sunday.

Thos. Conlon of the Illinois Plant Co.,
Batavia, 111., is sending some fine plants
of 'Mums in the Caprice varieties to the
retail trade of the city. A grand lot of
Cyclamen plants for the holiday trade is
about ready for the market.

Wm. Snyders, who looks after the
trade of the Poehlmann Bros. Co. on the
Pacific Coast, has been back a few days
from a three month trip. He tells of the
great prosperity of the trade in that
section. In bulbs, and plants of all kinds
there is more grown than ever. He will
leave again after the holidays for an-
other trip.

The windows of the retailers are all
handsomely decorated. The large flower-
ing Chrysanthemums in vases are the pre-
dominant feature in all these window
displays, but there is nothing new in this.
It is the old way of presenting the blooms
to the public gaze. Geo. Wienhoeber gen-
erally goes his competitors one better. For
the past few years he has been exhibiting
in his windows, the large shipping boxes
filled with Chrysanthemums just as they
are received from the greenhouses. The
lids of the boxes are removed and all
paper taken off so the blooms may be
seen nestling in rows in the box as snug
and tight as Peas in a pod. The boxes
are tilted at an angle to show the con-
tents to the best advantage. This is pre-
senting to public view the Chrysanthe-
mums in a form that the general public
knows but little if anything of. It is
educational in a manner as it shows how
scientifically the flowers are packed for
shipment. Arranged in the ordinary way
in vases the public will give but a pass-
ing glance. In front of the Wienhoeber
stores, they will stand for many minutes
and converse with evident interest on the
novelty of the exhibit.

"Cheer Monday" is destined to become
popular in Chicago and another great day
for the trade is well assured. Unlike

Valentine's Day, Christmas and others
that are only of annual occurrence, we
will have 52 new flower days. Backed
with the many prominent business, social
and fraternal organizations it is bound
tol become a great success. While the
movement has substantial support from
the trade, it is in a manner under cover
for the time being, lest any activity on
the florists' part might put a brand of
commercialism on the movement. The
project is1 in excellent hands and its suc-
cess is well assured. The local papers
Monday all had something to say about
it and gave illustrations of prominent
citizens wearing flowers. The Daily
News had the following:

"Thousands of Chicagoans wore smiles
and flowers today in recognition of
'Cheer Monday,' instead of the lugubri-
ous expressions that marked the tradi-
tional 'Blue Monday.'

"At Marshall Field's retail store the
employees each wore a blossom sent by J.
F. Cornelius, president of the All-Chicago
Kiwanis council, with whom the 'Cheer
Monday' idea originated. The distribu-
tion was under the direction of Alexan-
der Anderson, division superintendent, and
with each flower the employee received a
card bearing the following message.

" 'The All Chicago Kiwanis council bids
you wear this flower as a token of
"Cheer Monday." All good Chicagoans
have forever stricken from their vocabu-
laries the time-worn phrase "Blue Mon-
day," and have resolved that hence-
forth Monday shall be a day of good
cheer. Think and act in accord with
the sentiment of the new name for Mon-
day; wear a smile; wear a flower and'
be cheerful.

" 'J. F. Cornelius, President,
" 'All-Chicago Kiwanis Council.' "

Allie Zech of Zech & Mann is arrang-
ing a party to attend the annual meet-
ing and dance of the Milwaukee Flo-
rists Club Nov. 22. Notices have been
mailed to the members of the Chicago
Florists Club of the invitation to spend
an evening with the Milwaukee florists.

ment is being moved into its new quar-

ner from Wabash ave. The main office

recently taken over for the cut flower
department. W. C. Johns, who repre-
sented the house at Nashville, Tenn., the
past week has returned and reports good
business.

There was a meeting and luncheon of
the officers and trustees of the Chicago
Florists Club at the Randolph Hotel
Thursday, Nov. 16. The entertainment
of the club by the Poehlmann Bros. Co.
at Morton Grove on Dec. 7 was the pri-
mary object of the meeting. August Poehl-
mann was present and asked for sugges-
tions regarding the entertainment fea-
tures. A good program was decided on
and an enjoyable event is promised. Sec-
retary Lautenschlager is preparing the
publicity matter for the occasion that
will be ready in a few days.

Lem Elder of Hartje & Elder spent
Thursday in the city, bringing with him
a large supply of blooms of the gold
medal Carnation Winsome. These were
exhibited at a few of the wholesale
houses and shown at the meeting of the
Commercial Flower Growers the same
evening receiving the certificate of the
association. The variety was highly ad-
mired by all who saw it.

Chicagoans returning from the Minne-
apolis flower show, speak in the highest
terms of the wonderful exhibit staged
there the past week. Special mention is
made of the sunken garden, the work
of the park board. It was a tribute to
the wonderful progress horticulture is
making in the Northwest. Paul Klings-
porn stated it was worth the trip to
Minneapolis to see.

Blue Sweet Pea Wanted

James Carter & Co., England, have long
interested themselves in blue flowers and
Sweet Peas in particular. It was this
firm which introduced the supposed hybrid
Lord Anson's Pea. Having still a desire
to see a Sweet Pea with the blue shade
of the Gentian, this famous old firm has
donated the National Sweet Pea Society
a silver challenge cup to be offered each
year for the best blue Sweet Pea, until
the ideal is attained.

Here's a chance for those who think
they know how.

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

Telling the World

There are some people, mostly women
I fear, whose chief object in life is to
watch what the neighbors are doing and
thereafter discuss their actions. A Ken-
tuckian, for reasons best known to him-
self, recently inserted the following ad
in the Falmouth (Ky.) Outlook:

"Notice. — Some of the neighbors seem
to worry about me coming to my mother's
every day and how she can afford to feed
me. Now, I never go to my mother's
without taking vegetables and things to
eat, and I don't know as they should
worry, so please keep your chin music
out."

I hope Falmouth took the message to
heart, but it's a pity Willie Meyer, the
advertiser, didn't mention flowers also.

The Opening of Flowers

According to some French scientists, the
opening and closing of flowers is due to
temperature, not light or lack of it as
generally assumed.

Every practical grower knows that all
flowers are influenced by temperature, and
warmth up to a certain point is essential
with most subjects. The experimenters,
however, presumably refer to those flow-
ers which open and close at various peri-
ods, but even with some of these, it has
been recognized that sunshine means heat
as well as light, and therefore on dull,
cool days many such flowers will not
open. Tulips are a splendid example.

It is a regular commercial practice to
shade flowers to hold them back, and cut
bloom, such as Roses, goes into a cooler
to check further development. Seems to
me our French friends are telling the
world what all practical men know, but
perhaps explained it more explicitly.

What is Disease?

Recent reference to diseased bulb stocks
is disquieting. Not a few importers found
their Daffodil bulbs, including Spur, Vic-
toria and Emperor, arrived in bad shape,
the losses being heavy in some cases.
Overheating has been blamed, and in the
case of some Spur I examined, the bud
certainly had gone black through that
cause. But with Victoria and Emperor
samples I have seen, the heating was
only partly responsible for the rotting of
the bulbs was caused by mite. This pest
does not multiply in temperatures much
below 50 deg., Dut if it is present when
the bulbs are packed it's certain that a
month or so on the sea will be just enough
to bring about rapid multiplication. The
mite is migratory and will pass from bad
to healthy bulbs.

Personally, I shall not be surprised if
some forcers have trouble, even with ap-
parently healthy bulbs, unless they toolc
the precaution to use the hot water and
nicotine treatment proposed by Philip
Gorman of the Connecticut Exp. Station
last January. Oddly enough, European
bulb folk have been chasing eelworm, yet
when Mr. Gorman inspected many bulbs,
only mite was found.

Daffodil Flies

Seemingly the F. H. B. is in no hurry
to make a decision regarding the inlet of
bulbs other than those already permitted.
Personally, I very much question whether
the Daffodil bulbs imported this season
have been much infested with one or other
of the flies. I have examined many, and
not a sign of the larvae of either merodon
equistris or eumerus strigatus have I
seen.

At the Washington conference, bottles
containing the larvae of these flies were
exhibited, all found on imported bulbs;
at least, that is as the report goes.. Per-
sonally, I doubt if anyone ever found the
maggots on bulbs; the aim in life of these
pests is to get inside, and, except in the
very young stage, one cannot find them
without opening the bulb. It must not
be forgotten, however, that some of the
growers in California can supply all the
fly larvae the F. H. B. may want for
demonstration.

It was mentioned, too, that the Daffo-
dil fly was invading the Onion fields of the
Northwest. I would not be surprised, but
seeing that some of the Daffodil growers
out that way could not recognize the pest
in their bulbs, I am wondering if the
Onion gowers are any better equipped to
recognize it. Onions always have been
subject to maggot, but the same pest
doesn't attack Daffodils that I know of.

The Scent of the Rose

It was Tom Moore who sang:
"You may break, you may shatter the vase

if you will;
But the scent of the Rose will hang 'round
it still."

A Chicago school teacher sent a boy,
Tony by name, home to his mother from
school with the following note:

"Tony needs a bath. He don't smell
good."

The mother sent Tony back to school
giving no heed whatever to the teacher's
request. On the back of the same note
she wrote:

"I am not sending Tony to school for you
to smell. I send him for you to teach him.
Don't smell him, but teach him. Tony is
not a Rose ! "

The Market

Nov. 21. — It has been an easy,
uneventful market all during the week
past, until today. Not too much of a
supply to make prices too low, nor too
great a demand to boost them upward.
A few odds and ends and, now and then,
and quite a few Chrysanthemums have
had to be carried over from one day to
another but, on the whole, fair clear-
ances were made daily.

Roses have sold well, all except whites
which have now been neglected for some
little time and can be had for from 2c.
up. American Beauty are holding their
own at 50c. for specials and have ar-
rived in none too large numbers. Short
grades in all other varieties have ad-

cent, with little or no change
price of long stemmed goods.

vaneed
in the

Some extra fine Premier are to be had,
also Madame Butterfly and Golden
Ophelia. Commonwealth and Angelus
are becoming well known and appre-
ciated, although still offered in small lots
only.

The supply of Carnations is not what
might be called large. On account of
Chrysanthemums (especially Pompons'
and Singles) being in the way, they are
not doing as well as they will later on.
Still, what good, fresh flowers are com-
ing in are snapped up quickly though
making less of a price than a week ago.
Not over 4c. is offered today for the
best fancy varieties.

Chrysanthemums still dominate the
market with Bonnaffon and Chas. Rager
bulking largest. While there is no indi-
cation of a glut there are days when
quite a few Chrysanthemums have to be
carried over and fancy prices for any

variety are totally out of the question.
Heldover and poor stock goes at almost
any price up to $1 per doz. Fresh flow-
ers bring from $2 to $3 with the best
at $4. Pompons, Singles and Anemone-
flowered varieties are still in great fa-
vor and are selling in immense quanti-
ties at from three bunches for a dollar
to 75c. per bunch. Dark red varieties,
of course, do much better at week-ends
when there is a football game on.

The supply of Sweet Peas has in-
creased considerably while the demand
seems to have become less and many
trades have to be made where the grower
comes out at the little end of the horn.
At the same time it must be mentioned
that some very fine Peas with good stems
are to be seen.

What few Violets come to the market
are soon sold at about 2c. ; sometimes a
little more or a little less. Their sale is
also affected by the football games, so
that $2.50 per 100 comes to be the price
on such days.

The first Paperwhite Narcissi and the
first Stevia have appeared. There arc
small lots of Bouvardias and Cosmos,
the former bringing $1.50 per bunch,
and the latter having a hard time to find
a buyer. Agatheas, Nerines and Ranun-
culus are seen now and then. Calendulas
enjoy a good demand and so do Pansies.
Callas sell not very easily, and white
Lilies are out of the market at present.
There are some speciosums in pink.
Snapdragons are scarce as yet. Plenty
of Marguerites.

Cattleyas are wanted, but are hard to
secure ; so are tany orchids at all, for

The Market

Nov. 20. — Last week saw Chrys-
anthemums at their peak in hoth quan-
tity and variety. Probably there will be
only a slight falling off between the time
of 'writing and Thanksgiving, but the
week of Thauksgiving should see the last
of the present very heavy supply.

Generally, last week started with a
plentiful supply and a good demand —
although not quite enough to clean up,
but toward the end of the week these
conditions improved somewhat and Nov.
18 saw most stocks sold. The present
week opened with a good demand and a
sufficient supply to fill the orders. The
color line was drawn by one wholesaler,
who says that there is too much white
stock on the market. White Roses, for
instance, were not cleaning up well last
week. White Pompon 'Mums were also
in too great quantity, though colored
stock was in demand. Light pink Car-
nations were among the "white ele-
phants" as well.

Speaking of the Chrysanthemum sup-
ply, it may be noted that many growers
specialize in late varieties and cut large
quantities in a short period. Bonnaffon,

Chadwick and Seidewitz are the leaders
at the time of writing.

Violets Nov. IS were bringing $1.50
per 100. whereas the earlier part of the
week they sold at 75c. to $1.
Thanksgiving Prospects

So far as indications go, there
will be plenty of stock for Thanksgiving
buyers. Chrysanthemums are scheduled
to be almost as plentiful then as they
are now. Roses are. at present, a little
tight, probably due in some measure,
to pinching for Thanksgiving. At all
events, this stock stands to ease up for
the holiday.

White Bouvardia is about done, but
pink Bouvardia is coming in, as well as
Calendulas, Yellow Daisies and Paper-
whites.

cluded S. G. Dunkle. Harrisburg, Pa.,

tity have been arriving every other day

Charles Lutterbei is one of several go-getter vege-
table growers and florists in Cincinnati who will
"accept no substitutes" when it comes to greenhouses.
He has four Type C Callahan houses on Winton Road,
each 25 feet x 225 feet. "They don't make.'em any

Stuart H. Miller is no longer con-
nected with Berger Bros.

We saw some really high quality Smi-
lax at Jack Deutscher's Nov. 20, extra
fine, long strings. Pink Bouvardia here
is also worthy of comment. Chris Narr,
the chauffeur for this firm, is reported
dangerously ill.

Eugene Bernheimer had some Linwood
Hall Chrysanthemums Nov. 20.

The J. G. Neidinger Co. reports busi-
ness so brisk that no more orders for
made-up wreaths can be handled.

Charles E. Meehan had some nice
Cypripedium insigne of his own growing
Nov. 21. A novelty noticed here was
Heliotrope, good-looking stock.

Retail Notes

T. Nielson Geiger had a window
of cigarette bouquets last week, banked
with blooms in vases. For attracting
attention, the exhibit was an unqualified
success. Dozens of people daily stop in
to ask about them and sales are steady.
Of course, the whole thing is a side issue,
but it is through such features that
business is secured. Besides, the profit
is a very comfortable one on such work.

Another good steady seller as a side
line for in-between times, is the prepared
foliage at Charles Henry Fox's, dis-
played in the window last week.

Harry Jones at Habermehl's Bellevue-
Stratford store was enthusiastic over the
start of busiuess this week. Old cus-
tomers are starting to buy in earnest
here and things look bright. Business
is decidedly brisk. James Manning, for-
merly with Martin Gannon, is now con-
nected with this firm.

Boston

(Continued from page 1442)
that matter. Cattleyas command from
$1S to $24 per doz. In Cypripediums
there are a very few hybrids, some few
insigne and a fair sprinkling of the beau-
tiful Sanderte. Lily of the Valley is
good and holds steady at 8c, with a good
demand.

The demand for greens of all sorts is
the same as ever, and the supply, as al-
ways, is sufficient.

News Notes

Walter B. Southworth, West
Stoughton, Mass., some time since turned
two of his greenhouses, each 150ft. long,
into poultry houses and is well satisfied
with the change. One of the houses is
divided into sections for laying hens,
while the other, also divided, is provided
with three coal-burning brooders, each
calculated to mother 600 newly hatched
chicks. The glass in the roof of both
houses has been covered with a good
grade of roofing paper, leaving uncovered
every sixth sash for a source of light. The
plan worked fine last season and Mr.

Southwork has had, what he calls, very
good luck so far.

John T. Cooke wishes to announce that
he is now the sole owner of the store at
360 Commonwealth ave., Boston, which
he and his partner have conducted under
the firm John T. Cooke & Co.

Harry Quint is now devoting his time
exclusively to his florist business in the
store located in the Hotel Victoria, cor^
ner Newbury and Dartmouth sts., Bos-
ton. He has secured a long term lease
and the store is undergoing extensive al-
terations which will transform it into
an establishment fit to attract a good deal
of business in that favorable district. Mr.
Quint has been conducting a florist busi-
ness in that section of the city since
1896 and can count on a large patronage.

George Gettings, who has been with
"Penn, the Florist" for a number of
years, has accepted a position as direc-
tor in the Health Department of the town
of Brookline, at a good salary. His large
circle of friends are sincere in wishing
him success in his new position.

James Murphy, at Penn's is now di-
recting the staff of outside decorators,
giving his especial attention to the big
jobs pertaining to the automobile busi-
ness.

Oil Fuel for Greenhouse Boilers

The monthly meeting of the Hor-
ticultural Club of Boston, which was
held at Young's Hotel, Wednesday, Nov.
15, was attended by nearly all the mem-
bers, besides several guests from a dis-
tance. Among these were Chas. A. Strout
and O. F. Whitney, Biddeford, Me.; R.
T. Brown, Cottage Gardens, Queens, L.
I., N. Y.; Fred Fisher, Danvers, and H.
M. Topman, Randolph, Vt. The tables
and the room were handsomely decorated
with fine Carnations from Strout's Green-
houses. Vases containing specimen blooms
of Rosalind; Improved Ward and Laddie
brightened the room and the tables were
strewn with the dark red flowers of Don-
ald.

The speaker of the evening was Gus-
tave Thommen who gave a talk on fuel
oil and its use in heating boilers in green-
houses. Mr. Thommen has given consid-
erable attention to this subject during the
last three years and on his visits to a
number of installations has become well
acquainted with fuel oil, burners, tanks
for storing and other particulars con-
nected with the new fuel. He explained
w4iere fuel oil comes from; how it is
produced and how it has become a for-
midable competitor with coal, so that at
the present time in the New England
States alone, it represents over one-
fourth of the heating material used in
the industries. The different systems of
burners, installations and tanks were des-
cribed, together with methods of firing
the boilers. Mr. Thommen told of the
many important advantages attending the
use of fuel oil and how and where to
buy it.

Harold Patten of Tewksbury, who is at
the present time installing an oil-burn-
ing equipment and who has built a 65,-
000 gallon concrete tank, spoke of his
own experiences and also mentioned that
he expects to save this Winter about
$1500 by burning oil instead of coal.

Allan E. Peirce, Waltham, has burned
oil for several weeks, finding the new
fuel all that is claimed for it and more.
Mr. Peirce would not think of going
back to coal again. Several of the gen-
tlemen present voiced their opinions or
asked questions and much valuable infor-
mation was forthcoming before the meet-
ing came to a close.

At the recent horticultural exhibition
in Providence, R. I., Harold Patten of
Tewksbury, was awarded a number of
first prizes for notable exhibits of Carna-
tions. Wm. N. Craig acted as one of
the judges at the Provideneei Horticul-
tural Society Show, which was held dur-
ing the four days in the armory. Mr.
Craig pronounced the show one of ex-
ceptional merit and attracting a large at-
tendance.

Henry M. Robinson & Co. has leased
the whole basement in the new flower
market. The space secured is nearly one-
half of an acre and the firm expects to
be doing business in the new quarters at
the beginning of the new year. The
new location offers unexcelled facilities
and conveniences for the carrying on of
of their immense business.

Under the name of "The Statler Flo-
rist," Julius Quint and George Goldberg
have opened a store at 20 Park sq., Bos-
ton.

The New Boston Flower Market

The floor plans for the new flower
market were exhibited last Friday for
inspection by the stock and stall hold-
ers. They provide for 301 individual
stalls 3%ft.x4ft., composed of eight double
rows of eight stalls on each side of the
middle aisle, which is 8ft. wide and runs
the whole length of the building. The
aisle at the right of the hall is 7ft. wide,
while the one at the left measures 10ft.
The space between each double row of
stalls is 6ft. wide. Half way down the
building is a cross aisle 15ft. wide,
reaching from side to side. Along either
side are situated the large stalls, each
containing an office and ice chest. These
big compartments are 18ft. long and 16ft.
wide, having, on one side an office 8ft.
wide and on the other an ice chest 8ft. x
10ft. Other large stalls with offices and
cooling rooms are found in front and at
the rear of the hall. There are two ex-
tra large cool rooms for the use of the
small stallholders and also convenient
space for storage of boxes, etc. The of-
fice of the manager is on one side in the
middle of the building. Toilet rooms
for men and women are provided for. The
entrance from the Tremont st. side leads
up a short flight of convenient steps to
the main floor which is 9ft. above the
street level. The hall is lighted by a
number of large windows in the sides and
by a very large area of glass in the
cupola overhead. Undoubtedly this will
be the largest and finest flower market
in the country. The entire, immense
basement has been let to the big whole-
sale house of Henry M. Robinson & Co.
The parking space for automobiles is
on the Warren ave. side. It is 70ft.
wide by 120ft. long and there is plenty
additional parking space near the build-
ing. It is expected that the new market
will be ready for occupancy by the first
of January.

New York

deavoring to stimulate business for
Thanksgiving Day by circularizing their
patrons, and next week there will prob-
ably be some Thanksgiving Day window
displays to act as reminders and bring
orders. The daily newspaper advertising
of the A. F. T. A: of New York City is
now in full swing, and no doubt will help
increase not only general every day flower
sales, but also the Thanksgiving Day de-
mand.

Schloss Bros., Ribbons, Inc., report
that both the October and November sales
of ribbons to retail florists are ahead of
those of last year, and that out of town
business is exceptionally good this sea-
son. The firm's travelers in the middle
West are sending in large orders. Emil
Schloss, president of the company, has
returned from a trip to Boston and
eastern points, and says he was much
pleased with trade conditions there. He
feels that the ribbon trade has an ex-
cellent season ahead.

Behr & Howes, who several months
ago opened a retail flower shop at 31
East 33d St., are now thoroughly estab-
lished in their large, thoroughly equipped
and well located quarters. They have
just become members of the F. T. D. and
report that business is steadily increas-
ing.

Death of John Henshaw

A. M. Henshaw, president of the
Henshaw Floral Co., 43 West 18th St.,
received a cablegram on Tuesday morn-
ing of this week stating that his father,
John Henshaw, passed away on Monday,
Nov. 20, at the age of 86 years. The
late Mr. Henshaw was a resident of Bris-
tol, England, and was engaged in the
coal mining business, until he retired
20 years ago. He was active in politics
for 65 years, and a follower of Glad-
stone in his fight for home rule for Ire-
land. Mr. Henshaw wras active men-
tally and physically up to the end of
his life. He was accustomed to play golf
until he was S3 years of age, and was
ready to take any player who would give
him a stroke per hole for each year's dif-
ference in their age; and on this basis
he usually won. He was the father of
seven sons and two daughters, seven chil-
dren surviving him. Just before Mr.
Henshaw received the cablegram on
Tuesday, his brother had sailed for Eng-
land on the S. S. Berengaria.

We noted at James Rutig & Co., 43 W.
18th st., this week a full line of both

the large flowered and the Pompon 'Mums;
in fact, almost all the seasonable varie-
ties of each. In the quite complete line
of Roses which this firm is receiving, we
note blooms of that good old time white
variety Kaiserin, and of that excellent
pink, Mrs. Russell.

Frank Golsner, whose place of business
is on the Cut Flower Exchange floor of
the Coogan BIdg., corner of 26th st. and
6th ave., in again this year receiving a
steady and large supply of that beau-
tiful 'Mum Seidewitz, and also some^ ex-
cellent blooms of that fine white variety,
Rager and of the favorite old yellow va-
riety Bonnaffon, which in its season has
held the stage for so many years.

Speaking on Monday of this week, Paul
Rigo, the wideawake manager of the Hen-
shaw Floral Co., 43 West 18th St., said:
"This is the first day of real live busi-
ness we have experienced in the past two
and a half weeks, but this does not mean
that the Henshaw Floral Co. has been
asleep during that period, for we are al-
ways on hand to take care of the trade."

We learn that our old friend, John
Evans of Richmond, Ind., who sailed on
the S. S. Olympic with Carl Engelmann
on his return to England, has arrived
safely on the other side. It is understood
that he will make an extended stay
abroad.

Borough of Brooklyn

Bonnett & Blake have been in their
new quarters at 382 Jay st., since Sept.
1 and are very well pleased with these
and with their location. During a recent
call on this firm, we could not help but
note the good natural light through-
out their store, the high cei lings
and the increased accommodations
over those of their old store on Livings-
ton st. They are not far from Fulton
st., and assure us that all of their old
trade followed them there, but that some
new has also come to them.

At William H. Kuebler's, 28 Willough-
by st., although it was in the afternoon
when a representative of The Exchange
called, all hands were busy handling the
Roses and 'Mums that were coming in and
going out. Seasonable stock was reported
to be moving normally, and we will add
that both the proprietor and the whole
store force seemed well, happy and jolly.

A representative of The Exchange
calling on Appelgate's, 15 Putnam ave.,
Brooklyn, recently, found this commodious
retail store and the conservatory looking
better in every way than he had ever
seen it in the past. James Hagerup, one
of the present proprietors, said that busi-
ness even during the past Summer had
been better than ever, and that October
had opened up well and business had in-
creased up to the present. Some of the
leading features are weddings, steamer
F. T. D. and other F.. T. D. orders, and
considerable funeral work, as well as
genera] sales of' cut flowers and of plants,
to which this store has always paid
much attention. We were glad to note
that the window display, for which this
store has been noted for many years, is
being kept right up to past standards. .

E. Frank, whose retail flower store
is situated in the fine old residential
district, at 132 Montague st., reports that
his F. T. D. business, both outgoing and
incoming, is evcellent. Local general
business during October and November
he reports as seasonably good and in-
creasing as the season advances. At
Phillips, 272 Fulton st., and 7 Clinton
St., they report that they are busy with
wedding and F. T. D. orders and funeral
work.

Calling on James Weir, Inc., 24 Fulton
st., we were sorry to find Edward Mc-
Carthy, the popular nianagier of this
store, suffering from blood poisoning, con-
sequent upon injuring his finger on a
Rose thorn; this requires him to visit
a surgeon twice daily. For all that we
found Mr. McCarthy and the entire store
force quite busy with funeral work, to
which they give much attention, and also
with F. T. D. orders. When calling at
this store we always find not only the
genial manager, but everyone else hustling
to fill orders. It seems as if new life
came into this good old retail store very
soon after Mr. McCarthy assumed the
management.

New York City. — A petition of bank-
ruptcy was filed against Maurice Fuld,
Inc., dealers in seeds and bulbs, 7 West
Forty-fifth st. It is stated that the lia-
bilities are about $20,000 and ajssete
about $3500.

GREENHOUSES

The Sure Way To Bigger Profit

When a florist places his order
for a King you can be sure that
he, like hundreds of other King
owners, is on the right track for
bigger profit.

King greenhouses grow a larger
percentage of firsts than other
makes of houses and they cost
less to operate. One grower tells
us that his King greenhouses go
a long way in producing the high
grade stock he is sending out.
Another florist says that the '
amount of coal used during a
severe Winter was less than we
said it would be in an ordinary
Winter.

The quality of material and
workmanship is the best and can
be translated into one word —
strength. A grower wrote us say-
ing that in a severe sleet storm
"we had considerable ice and snow
on the houses but your construc-
tion stood the strain with no bad
results whatever."

As for price and service, read
what this grower writes: "After
comparing all propositions in re-
gard to workmanship, service, de-
tails of construction and price, we
were firmly convinced that your
proposition was by far the best
we had received and so placed the
order with you."

When you think of good greenhouses, think of "KING*'

CAMPANULA

CAMPANULA FOR IMMEDIATE SHIPMENT

Our forcing grade.

HOW TO FORCE THEM.

As soon as received, pot them and carry the
plants after that into a frame; they are best off
if they do not freeze, they don't appreciate it.
Up to February they want anything but a warm
house. Leave all the foliage on you can. Hold
the house as near 32 degrees as possible and also
after that time don't subject them to a high
temperature. Lift the plants and heel in a cold
house to be planted out in a solid bed in February,
to be slowly forced into bloom for cut flowers for
late April and during May.

CAMPANULA MEDIUM: Blue, rose and white.
CAMPANULA CALYCANTHEMA: Blue, rose,

white, $8.00 per 100, $60.00 per 1000.

Freight Problem Before I. C. C.

Hearings Begun Nov. 20 Bring Out
Conflicting Testimony

Washington, D. C. — Whether existing
conditions call for an increase or a re-
duction in the genei'al level of freight
rates will be decided by the Interstate
Commerce Commission on the basis of
testimony submitted at hearings inaugu-
rated Nov. 20. Large patrons of the ex-
press service throughout the country have
appealed for reductions on the ground
that freight rates have already been re-
duced. The American Railway Express
Co., on the other hand, has asked for per-
mission to make a reclassification of com-
modities and to increase its rates.

Testimony offered by the shippers was
similar to that submitted, during the
hearings on freight rates last Winter,
when it was held that the high level of
rates was acting as a deterrent to busi-
ness and that a reduction would greatly
stimulate distribution. In addition, it
was pointed out that the reductions of
freight rates had materially increased the
freight traffic of the railroads and that
since the cut in rates was ordered last
July the volume of freight traffic has
reached a level higher even than that of
1920.

An attempt to saddle the business of
the country with the railroads' deficits
is seen in the admission by officials of the
American Railway Express Co. that the
increase asked for was not for the pur-
pose of swelling the earnings of the com-
pany, but was entirely for the benefit of
the railroads, who have found themselves
unable to raise freight rates and who
adopted this method of raising money.

Testimony given by C. A. Lutz, vice-
president of the company, showed that its
net earnings during the first six months
of the current year amounted to about
$576,000. The railroads, however, he said,
were not satisfied with their share of the
business and, as a result of their pro-
tests, the express company paid the car-
riers $308,000 more than they were legal-
ly entitled to. The increased rates, he
explained, were asked for the purpose of
enabling the express company to pay the
railroads more for the service rendered.

Seattle, Wash.

Trade Notes

Nov. 13. — The majority of local
florists stores report a considerable in-
crease in the volume of trade during the
past week. Saturday last was a particu-
larly good day, due in a large measure to
the California and Washington Universi-
ties' annual football game. All stores
displayed the varsity colors in some floral
combination, yellow Chrysanthemums and
Violets being in great favor. Corsages
consisting of a Bonnaffon or Yellow Tur-
ner in combination with Violets sold
readily for 50c. to $1 each. One store
had a novel combination which included
a megaphone finished in gold, the cor-
sage being inserted into the mouth of
it. Most stores featured displays in
their windows combining Armistice Day,
the football game and the North Western
Apple Exposition. In most cases, piles
of splendid Apples in a number of va-
rieties were employed.

It remained for Sam Dunlop of the
Hollywood Gardens to devote a full win-
dow display to the fruit show. He set
up a real Apple tree laden with lux-
uriant foliage and fruit inclosed in an
old time rail fence. The tree bore the
sign, ^illiterately spelled, "Beware of the
Dog," and underneath it a minature toy
poodle disported. So tickled were the
Apple magnates that they presented Sam
with a box of prize Apples for his own
private use.

I don't quite know which is of most
importance in this burg these days, Ap-
ples or Chrysanthemums. The Apple
men, however, have set aside generous
space for the use of the florists and their
'Mums, during the Apple show, and the
florists have devoted generous space in
their various stores, during the week to
the Apple. So, as it is quite a good
combination. I guess we had better cry
quits, hoping both parties will be suc-
cessful in their attempt to capture pub-
lic attention and filthy lucre. We are
certainly having a delightful spell of
weather to help things out.

Supplies of cut bloom are plentiful.
'Mums of high quality are arriving freely
from our local growers. White and Yel-
low Turners, Mrs. Frank West, pink;
Wells Late, pink; Chas. Waite and H.
V. Kahn in bronze were found in the ma-
jority of the stores, and at B. E. Ham-
mond Co.'s store, excellent blooms of the
variety Marigold were in quantity. What
a pity that a bloom so rich in coloring
should have such poor keeping qualities.

Roses are in heavy supply, while Car-
nations are coming in freely from the
C. E. Benson and A. B. Mathiesen plants.

The B. E. Hammond Co. has added an-
other delivery van to its equipment.

At the fruit exposition the two exhib-
its of 'Mums staged and mained for the
ten days of the show, by local growers,
are a credit to the industry. Magnifi-
cent blooms of Yellow and White Turner,
Mrs. Frank West and the Bronze Kahn,
several of the latter measuring 9in. across,
were shown by C. H. Benson, secretary
of the Growers Association. Masses of
Pompons in various shades came from
Stuber and Richardson, Bryn Mawr;
these were a revelation to the visiting
public. I will reserve my notes on the
Chrysanthemum Show, which is now run-
ning, until next week.

Raymond V. Kester, the representative
of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia,
Pa., is calling on the local trade this
week.

Exhibitions

While a fruit exposition may pos-
sibly not fall within the scope of the F. E.
as its representative residing in a State
which boasts the production of about
two-thirds of the Apple crop of this coun-
try, I thought the Second Annual North
Western Fruit Exposition of sufficient
importance to local nurserymen to war-
rant a few words concerning same, es-
pecially as fruit plantings in this State
are increasing by several hundred acres
yearly. What the ultimate output of
fruit will be, no one presumes to foretell,
but the production of nursery stock of
first class quality to meet the demand for
the trees to be planted, is a matter of
considerable importance to the nursery-
men of this State.

I am not going to criticise individual
exhibits, but to enable readers to appre-
ciate the magnitude of the show, I would
point out that splendid exhibits, con-
sisting in many cases of hundreds of
boxes of the very highest quality fruit

were staged from the Okanagan Valley
and Spokane Districts in the North and
East, from Wenatchee in the Center, from
Yakima, White Salmon and Columbia
River Basin in the South. These consisted
mainly of Apples and Pears. From Long
Beach and Ilwaco on the Pacific Coast
in Pacific County, came an exhibit of
Cranberries of such quality, that Cape
Cod growers would be green with envy
could they see them. Vancouver, Clarke
County, had an exhibit of nuts, which
I have never seen equalled; it consisted
of several varieties of Walnuts, Filberts,
Cob and Chestnuts, occupying a space
20ft.xl0ft. and grown by A. A. Quarn-
berg. F. R. Reed of Bellevue, Wash., and
The Island Belle Grape Growers Union,
staged superb exhibits of Vergenes, Del-
aware and Island Belle Grapes. The lat-
ter variety is a sport of Concord, which
originated with E. Eckhart, a local grow-
er some 15 years ago, and which grows to
perfection on several of the islands in the
Puget Sound. The demand for plants of
this variety each year exceeds the avail-
able supply.

Among trade exhibitors was the Sand-
ved Nursery, Madison Park, Seattle,
with a finely arranged group of foliage
and berry bearing shrubs, including speci-
mens of Pyraeantha Lalandii, Acer atro-
purpureum, A. polymorphum. various
Cotoneasters, Callicarpa purpurea and
Euonymus europceus.

Chas. H. Lily Co., a neatly arranged
display of ferns, Primulas in variety and
dwarf grown Chrysanthemums, together
with a display of various seeds and trade
requisites, while the Oregon Nursery Co.,
Orenco, Ore., had a nice display, mostly
confined to specimen fruits and nuts, and
featuring their new prune, Coats 418 and
various fruit trees.

The Washington Nursery Co., Toppen-
ish, Wash., staged a general exhibit of
fruit trees, samples of fruit and nursery
stock. R. B. Peterson, sales manager,
was in charge.

Your scribe was very pleased to meet
in the person of one of the judges, an old
friend of Ontario Agricultural College
days, W. H. Robertson, now Provincial
horticulturist of British Columbia.

"Woolgatherer" might be interested to
know that there was also a real honest
to goodness Potato Show, staged by the
Western Washington Potato Growers.
Some fine samples of uptodate, Scotch
Rural, Beauty of Hebron, Netted Gem,
Scottish Chief, Early Victor and Irish
Beauty, all scrubbed and plated were
noted. Geo. Cooper.

Trade Jottings

Business for the past week has
been encouraging, there being a good de-
mand for all floral work, particularly
funeral orders.

The market is well supplied with cut
flowers; Chrysanthemums are in abun-
dance, and extra fine blooms are now to
be had at reasonable prices. The demand
for the better grades and larger blooms
is good; many of the smaller varieties
are used freely in design work.

Pot plants are more plentiful,- with a
good demand, there being some fine Cycla-
mens, Cherries, 'Mums, ferns, etc. Many
are looking forward to extra business for
Thanksgiving, and are ordering their
stock in advance.

Wenninghoff has had an unusually busy
week with funeral work.

The Doswell Floral Co. reports trade
exceedingly good. They are able to dis-
pose of all the fine stock grown in their
greenhouses. Some fine Eaton and Chad-
wick 'Mums are now being cut.

W. J. and M. S. Vesey have an un-
usually fine crop of Roses for Thanks-
giving. Also a fine lot of Cypripedium
insigne.

Lanternier, Florist, has had his share
of business, which fully justifies the
building of two new Carnation nouses,

Ralph Tinkham has a good line of pot-
ted plants on show. A. B.

How a Canadian Florist

Tore Down and Rebuilt His Houses

Without Disturbing the Crop

The problem that faced J. J. Carnage & Son of London,
Ontario, was how to tear down their crop filled old
houses, and build new ones in their places, without dis-
turbing the crop. They put the problem up to us.

In sixteen working days we had pulled down the old
house and erected a new Semi-Iron one, 33x200, without
the loss of so much as a plant. Not only was this quick
work, but skillful work. Work that you will agree,
speaks right out loud for the care with which we do
things.

The reputation of Mr. Carnage, both in Canada and The
States, made us feel decidedly gratified that he should
choose our house and give us complete go ahead orders.
The same week, over eight years ago, that we first called
on Mr. Carnage, we also dropped around to see Mr.
Duggan of the Dale Estate. Eoth of them had the im-

pression then, that our houses cost too much. Both of
them finally came to the conclusion that it was the other
fellow's, not ours, that was costly. Both had continual
large yearly repair costs. Both had to frequently tear
down and rebuild. Both grew tired of it, at about the
same time. Both are now putting their money in our
houses of permanency. Houses that are an investment,
not an expense.

If you are thinking of building or rebuilding, let's sit
down together and have a good old-fashioned talk. Let's
look at some real figure facts. Let's smoke out the real
reason for some growers making money, while others
always are spending it. Let's be frank with each other.
To which, let us add that the so-called small man's busi-
ness is just as interesting to us as the large man's. Every
large one once was small. We never forget that.

We Recommend This Book
To All Retail Growers

You may think it strange that as greenhouse builders
we should give up this entire page to recommending
a book instead of showing and talking about our
greenhouses.

It would have been strange a few years ago. But
the up-to-date business man today realizes that any-
thing that improves in general the business he is in,
will improve his business. That's why we recommend
this book of Fritz Bahr's to every retail grower, new
or old.

It's the first book of its kind that has anywhere near
covered the subject as thoroughly. It's none of the
usual tale-telling kind that is brimming full and run-
ning over with the brags of "what I did" and fatherly
advice on "what you ought to do." Not a word of that
kind of uselessness.

Like the "Week's Work" department in The
Exchange, that Fritz Bahr has conducted so ably for
over twelve years, "Commercial Floriculture" is based

upon his practical and successful experience. But,
in addition, the material has been so arranged, indexed,
and edited as to provide in the most helpful and usable
form more than 500 pages of "real meat" and nearly
300 excellent illustrations of the most valuable sort.

Take Chapter Two, for example — here's what it is
about: "Indoors and Outdoors All the Year Round.
Things to be Done and Thought of by the Busy Man
During Each Month of the Year." And then just
glance over Chapters 5, 6 and 7: "Side Line Possi-
bilities for Retail Growers" — "Important Flower Days
of the Year" — "All Kinds of Plant Materials for the
Retail Grower." And then, in the latter half of the
volume, there are practical, cultural directions for more
than five hundred of the most important kinds of plants
raised by the grower and handled by the florist.

As for the cost of this book, it's a mere pittance in
proportion to its real worth. For so little as $5 The
Florists Exchange will send it anywhere in the
United States or Canada, delivery prepaid.

What We Know About Boston Ferns

By R. C. BENEDICT, Brooklyn Botanic Garden

VII— Distinguishing Varieties

WHAT We Know About Boston Ferns," having
been chosen by the editor as the title for this
series, I decided before writing further in de-
scription of the different varieties, to find out exactly
what that part of the "we" represented by the retail
florists of New York City actually do "know about
Boston Ferns." Having visited a dozen retail shops
recently, I want to record my appreciation of the
uniform courtesy and helpfulness manifested by every
florist concerned ; but I must also qualify the state-
ment made earlier in this series that the average
retailer knows accurately half a dozen different kinds.
If the "average florist" may be assumed to have been
reached in the course of my visits— which covered
the lower East Side and the upper East Side (near
Fifth ave. ) of Manhattan aud the Flatbush section
of Brooklyn — the average florist does not know with
certainty even two different Boston Fern types.

toothed like a saw edge. (2) Ordinary Boston Fern,
differing from the wild form in being narrower, up
wardly curved (sickle-shaped or falcate, as the
botanist calls it) and with the surface somewhat
wavy or ruffled. The technical term for ruffling is
orispate. (3) "Win, K. Harris," clearly the largest
of all these Boston types. Here the ruffling has be-,
come a veritable frill, resulting in an uneven, irregu-
lar margin. At the base, what in other sorts were
merely rather blunt projections, are veritable "ears"
or auricles.

(-1) The Roosevelt Fern, representing a stage inter-
mediate between the real Boston and the Harris type.
(As a matter of fact the original Harrisi showed
about the same kind of leaflet, the present "Wm. K.
Harris" being a further step in ruffling.)

(5) Teddy Jr. resembles closely its parent form,
Roosevelt, except for its smaller size. All the Roose-
velt sports and those from Teddy Jr., show the ruffling,
for example, Randolphi, Macawi, and President Wil-
son, as well as the pigmy type shown as (6).

(6) This represents the last sport of Teddy Jr.,
but may also stand for the name form, Childsi, which
sported from N. muscosa.

In any consideration of the question, What Boston
type is most beautiful? It seems to me that this
ruffled leaf sort will make strong bid for honors.

form of the Macawi type of Teddy Jr. sport, and -sev-
eral others are known.

(11) shows the old form Scholzeli. and represents
also a close view of the double division or twice pin-
nate condition described iu article No. 5 (Nov. IS).
Note that each leaflet is again divided making the
primary leaflet practically a miniature fern leaf iu
itself. Note also that this variety, a direct sport from
Scotti, retains the rolled leaflets characteristic of
Scotti itself. Scholzeli bears the same relation to-
Scotti that Piersoni bears to the ordinary Boston fern.
It has also the merits of Scotti from the growers' and
retailers' points of view, in that it requires no un-
usual attention from gardeners and keeps well in the
shop.

(12) shows an unnamed sport of Scholzeli, which
originated at the Scholzel establishment. It is a
good illustration of the next higher degree of divi-
sion, being three times pinnate, the same as WMt-
-mani. But note how it retains the rolled leaflets of
Scotti. Although the lacier leaf is more delicately-
pretty than that of Scholzeli, the form offered no
other advantage, and had the disadvantage of being
somewhat slower and harder to take care of. Conse-
quently Mr. Scholzel never sold it under any distinct
name. A similar Scholzeli sport which appeared at
the establishment of Wm. K. Harris independently.

Nos. 1 to 6: Gradations in leaf size, "rufflirg," etc., of different Boston fern types. Nos. 7 to 12: Leaf variations in the Scotti series of Bostons.

Misinformation and Its Causes

Scotti is confused with old Boston ; Teddy Jr. with
Scotti; Dwarf Boston with Teddy Jr., etc. This is
not due to lack of ability to observe differences. Fre-
quently some of the really critical differences were
pointed out, particularly, variations in keeping quali-
ties. But there was general lack of ability to -look
over a stock of fern plants and pick out specimens of
any particular variety. The retailer apparently has
no clear idea of the kinds of leaf modifications in
different types.

Probably one reason for his confusion is the fact
that among growers themselves there are many who
cover uncertain knowledge with a show of authority
which the retailer does not distinguish from authen-
tic information. The retailer in his turn passes on
this misinformation to the public, or invents some-
thing new on the spur of the moment. Considering
that the retailer may receive contradictory informa-
tion from different growers, his uncertainty is under-
standable. Really, however, the key characters of
these fern varieties are simple and easy to learn,
and there is no reason why anyone with a fair ability
to observe should confuse their identities.

Leaf Characters in Boston Ferns

The key to the identification of these ferns is found
in their leaflets (or pinna?) which make up each leaf
or frond. Besides the type variations in size and
division (already described), the leaflets differ among
themselves in general shape, in the form of their mar-
gins, their tips, their bases, and in other respects.

The illustration brings out these differences better
than mere words; Figs. 1 to 6 show leaflets as fol-
lows: (1) Wild Sword Fern (Xcphrolepis exaltata),
relatively short and straight, and practically flat or
plane. The margin is smooth or merely ' slightly

There is little doubt that the frilling makes a unique
appeal. It is true that the real Boston Fern also
shows some ruffling, and single leaves of this type are
at times hard to separate from poorly developed
leaves of the Roosevelt type; but with whole plants
to consider the difference is clearly apparent.

Figs. 7 to 12, presenting sections of leaves, show
the other principal key characters. These might well
be called the Scotti series, since all the varieties
shown except the plain Boston in the upper left
corner have developed as sports in that series.

Leaf Variations in the Scotti Series

(7) This is a piece of the leaf of ordinary N. bos-
toniensis, shown for comparison. Note the slight ruf-
fling, the upward curve, and the rather narrow-pointed
tips.

(S) Scotti, besides being smaller than typical Bos-
ton, has two other distinguishing points : Its leaflets
are always curled backwards or rolled, and its leaves,
especially toward the tips, are a yellower green.
(Sb) shows the rolling even more clearly.

(9) Wagneri, a little known sport of Scotti, grow-
ing about half its size, and proportionately slower in
culture, and stiffer ; but it has the Scotti rolled leaflet
character. (9b) shows a side view of two Wagneri
leaflets.

(10) This form, named "falcata" by Peter Wagner,
its introducer, presents a new character, that is crest-
ing or the forking of the tips of the leaflets. (The
botanical term for this is always oristata, falcata be-
ing more correctly applied to the sickle-shaped leaf-
let.) This is a relatively common type of variation
in ferns, although it does not seem to have won favor
with growers generally. F. R. Pierson has intro-
duced two named forms based on this feature, ele-
gantissima compacta cristata, and Victoria, a crested

was tentatively named after the section of Philadel-
phia in which the Harris greenhouses are located,
"Kingsessing," but received only a local circulation.

What is the Best Boston Fern?

A Fern Specialist's Answer to Dr. Benedict's
Question^Now What Do You Think ?

AFTER being a fern specialist for 25 years and
carefully noting all the qualities of the different
ferns which have been introduced on the market
first by one grower and then by another. I have come
to the conclusion that the Dwarf Boston Fern orig-
inated by F. R. Pierson, Tarrytown, N. Y., is the
champion today.

This fern in an established condition in a 6in. pot
is a finely shaped plant having a great many leaves,
often as many as 100. It is not a long, straggly plant,
nor a short bushy one, but a graceful, medium sized
plant. The Dwarf Boston produces, in a given time,
the greatest number of runners capable of propaga-
tion. It does not produce the most beautiful single
leaves, but it does present a strikingly handsome
graceful appearance. The Dwarf Boston does not
require much care, rather, in fact, the least of any o£
the Boston family.

The old Boston Fern, the Roosevelt and Teddy Jr.,
all have their separate uses, but the Dwarf Bostoju
is the best general fern on the market. The MacawSi
has its place, also the Verona, as a - ncy

fern, beautiful and dainty, but requiring a great deal
of care. The Norwood is also an extremely beautiful

4 Pot Grown Bulbs

A Profitable Line for the Small Florist Grower

Herein is Explained How a Small Country

Florist Has Built Up a Big Business

THERE are hundreds of florist establishments
scattered over the country that are a long dis-
tance from wholesale growers of potted plants
and cut flowers, and in buying stock for such long
hauls and, more or less, rough handling, it stands to
reason that the quality of the stock is none too good
when offered to the consumer.

The public must have itsi Carnations, its Roses, and
other worth-while cut flowers, but there is a big open-
ing for the florists who are a long distance from the
cut flower market, for the growing of Tulips, Hya-
cinths, Narcissi and even Crocus for pot plants, and
Tulips and Narcissi as cut flowers.

No Markets Near

Every florist has his own local conditions, and it is
up to him to line up his field before taking up bulb
culture extensively. This article is written from
the standpoint of a grower, about 250 miles from
the flower market of Boston, and with a vast terri-
tory of open country dotted with towns and villages
without florists establishments, which therefore rely
upon the larger communities to supply their needs.
We find it the most satisfactory whenever possible,
to send stock, whether cut or in pots from our own
houses. We know just what the quality is, what con-
dition it ought to be in when delivered, and whether
it will give the satisfaction expected.

With the exception of occasions when cut flowers
are a necessity, we find that during the Winter
months, Hyacinths, Narcissus and Tulips were wel-
comed by the public to the extent that when offered
at reasonable prices, we can sell, not dozen or hun-
dred, but thousands, from the time that they can be
first brought into flower until Easter. After that, the
demand stops absolutely.

Agents Eager to Sell Stock

After we advertised that beautiful plants could be
bought at 25c. per pot (one Hyacinth, or one double
nosed Narcissus, in a 4in. paper pot), inquiries began
to come in from the outlying towns from merchants
asking for our proposition on supplying them at
wholesale to sell in their respective towns. This out-
let proved a worth while proposition and today hun-
dreds of these bulb plants find their way to homes
unaccustomed in the past to such Winter flowers.
There are also hundreds of societies, Sunday school
classes, etc., that have a limited fund for floral use,
many organizations being limited to 50c. per mem-
ber for floral remembrance in case of sickness or
some special occasion. In such cases, cut flowers
cannot be used, but a 5in. pot of Hyacinths (two
bulbs) at 50c, or a pot of Daffodils (two bulbs) pro-
ducing four or five flowers, or a pot of four Tulips
proves a ready seller. In general the public likes
these pot plants because of the fact that supplied in
fresh condition, the life of the flowers is at least two
weeks when properly taken care of.

In putting up the bulbs it has proved advisable to
use standard clay pots of such sizes that are also
available in paper pots, because, when ready for ship-
ment or sale, the plants are shifted without hurt.
By this method the stock can be sold cheaper and
express charges are cut to a minimum, not only on
weight, but rates also as plants in clay pots are listed
at high charges.

Best Quality Pays

We have made it a rule to use only the best quality
bulbs for this work and have found it pays. The size
of flowers attracts attention, and it reduces compe-
tition. Quality is bound to bring satisfied customers.
For three years one of the largest, if not the largest
department stores in the city has been handling our
pot bulbs, and has made a success with them, to the
extent that the owners have entertained the idea'of
putting into their store, a department carrying flo-
rists stock the year around.

The past season, competition sprang up very sud-
denly, or was it a boost for our stock? The rival
stock proved to have been grown from leftover bulbs,
bought from a seed store after cold weather set in.
They were sold to this department store at a price
that spelled ruin to the grower in a short time if
he could have kept up the supply and the quality had
been good. But the flowers were small, being grown
from small bulbs and were not properly developed.
The day following the appearance of this cheap grade
of stock, we sold to that department store a much
larger quantity than on any previous occasion. The

cheap stock did not sell at all, the public appreciating
the difference.

Hyacinths, Daffodils and Tulips

By using first size Hyacinths, 1S-19 cm., we often
get two perfect flowers per bulb. The varieties most
favored were Gertrude, Lady Derby, L'Innocence,
Grand Maitre, Yellow Hammer, La Victoire, King and
Queen of the Blues. The shades of piuk are the
best sellers, white being second best, yellow and blue
running next in line.

In Daffodils large bulbs of Victoria, Emperor and
Van Sion are ready sellers. It was not uncommon
last year to secure seven or nine flowers from three
bulbs grown in 6in. pots. The champion pot of the
season contained 14 blooms of first quality to three
bulbs.

There are a great many varieties of Tulips to choose
from, but for the pot work we find that such varieties
as Double Murillo, Couronne d'Or and Vuurbaak prove
to be first class sellers, while such as Couleur Car-
dinal, Rose Louisante, Belle Alliance, Goldfinch, Fred
Moore are good sellers. This season we are giving
Due Van Tholl Prince of Austria, Proserpine and oth-
ers a tryout.

Crocuses even have their place as an inexpensive
pot plant. We could have sold hundreds of them last
season in bloom if we had realized • their popularity.
In pot plant work of this class it is advisable to grade
the bulbs as to their worth ; that is, there is not the
value in Crocus that there is in Tulips or Daffodils,
therefore, in no case do we pot up Crocus above the
25c. stock. Four bulbs to a 4in. pot will bring ready
sale at 25c. each. For successful culture, they will
do best when given full light on the bench from the
time of potting.

Our Cultural Methods

Having had no previous experience as to the culture
of Tulips, Narcissus and Hyacinths, the method by
which to develop the kind of stock we wanted, was
for a time, uncertain. We did not like the coldframe
planting because our Winters are so severe that the
earth would freeze around the pots and prevent the
growth we wanted, and break a large percentage of
the pots'. During the time we were market gardening,
we made a great many hotbeds, piling the well worked
horse manure as high as 30in. in order to get enough
heat to carry through March and April, our first beds
of Lettuce. We lost a great deal of heat from these
beds because we did not have the right method to
drive all the heat into the frame. We found that we
secured as much heat from this manure if we dug
2ft. deep into the ground, the enclosure of the frame,
filling same with the straw material and it saved
labor and dressing after the pit was once made.

Today we are using these pits during the Winter
for the growing of our potted bulb stock. Later we
clean out the pits, and refill them with the necessary
manure and dirt for plunging potted stock and grow-
ing of seedlings for Spring trade. After potting up
the bulbs and placing them on a hard bottom, we
cover the pots with about a foot of soil. We do not
find it necessary to use other than good, yet inex-
pensive loam direct from the field for our bulbs,
and we also use this loam for covering. We do
find, however, that it is to advantage, after the
bulbs are covered with sufficient loam, six or eight
inches, to use for the other four or six inches the very
best compost from the pile. During the Winter
months, this dirt is easily obtained for potting work
or can be readily mixed with the newer soil at very
little expense.

Just before hard freezing, the rest of the frame is
filled with meadow hay, straw or straw dressing. We
prefer meadow hay or clear straw, as it is more con-
venient to handle and not subject to freezing. The
sashes are then put on the frames and the sash cov-
ered with boards to prevent the heavy snows damag-
ing the sash, and when it is time to get into the
frames, the snow or crust can be dug away without
breaking glass. Such beds as are planted with pots
of early Hyacinths and Narcissus can, oftentimes be
used for another set of bulbs, if the first set is
cleared from the frame or frames during a warm
spell in late December or early January, and the sec-
ond batch will be ready for Easter sale.

Success Always Certain

Beds planted this way will permit unchecked growth
of root system and buds. The size of the flowers are
extra large, and fine foliage is developed. At first
our customers desired the bulb plants in full bloom,
but gradually they found that they could rely upon
the stock flowering, when purchased in bud and to-
day nearly all our stock shipped out, is in bud. This
gives the retailer a chance to handle the stock without
loss, and at the same time the final customers are
satisfied.

Finally, we have made it a part of our program, to
supply the bulb stock at a price that the retail dealer
can sell it at the same price as we ask at our green-
houses. Any live wire florist can make a paying
proposition of this side line. It is a line that is
quickly moved and needs bench space but for a short
time. It is a line that the public wants. There are
thousands of people who do not know what a Nar-
cissus looks like. It does not seem possible, but it is
a fact. A worthwhile advertising campaign in the
community will pay big returns. A ease of educating
the public and they need it.

Spread the Gospel of Flowers

There are not enough of these flowers grown, and
their value is not brought to the attention of the pub-
lic strong enough. We have had the pleasure of see-
ing these potted bulbs bring delight in many walks
of life. The rich trade found quality in those little
pots of Hyacinths at 25c, and filled their homes with
them. The poorer people living in the slum section
of the city, also saw their value at a quarter, and
many of their homes have been cheered with these
beautiful flowers. It not only brings customers but
friends. If florists are building up their business,
not merely as a financial project, but for the love of
Nature and the beautiful, and with the knowledge
that they can bring cheer to the hearts of hundreds
of people, they are bound to find in their work, a re-
ligion much neglected ; they can preach their doctrine
and train others to carry on the work, and then
find just as much ahead for the other fellow to do.

New England Gladiolus Society

An adjourned annual meetiug of the New England
Gladiolus Society was called to order at 2.50 p.m.
by Vice-president S. E. Spencer in Horticultural Hall,
Boston, Nov. 18, 1922. F. O. Shepardson was elected
secretary pro tern.

After the minutes of previous meetings were read
and approved, a motion was made and carried that
the action taken Nov. 5, 1921, providing "that any
horticultural or floricultural society in New England
may affiliate with this society" be confirmed. Then
the treasurer's report was read, accepted and adopted.

A report of the committee appointed to confer with
Mr. Thorpe regarding making the Gladiolus Bulletin
the official organ of the society was made by Mr. Nor-
ley and on motion The Gladiolus Bulletin was so
adopted ; Messrs. Brown, Norley, and Proctor were
then appointed as a Nominating Committee and re-
tired to prepare a ticket.

Motions were made and carried (1) that a vote of
thanks be extended to A. L. Stephen for his efficient
work on the schedule and at the exhibition; and (2)
that a similar vote be extended to the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society for the use of the hall, and for
its hearty cooperation at the annual exhibition. At
the invitation of Mr. Spencer the meeting was ad-
dressed by Mr. Chamberlain, a past president of the
American Gladiolus Society. His remarks were most
interesting and were heartily applauded.

The Nominating Committee returned and reported
and upon motion a single ballot was cast for the fol-
lowing officers as nominated : President, S. E. Spen-
cer ; vice-president, Dr. S. Irving Moody ; second vice-
president, William E. Clark; treasurer, C. W.
Brown ; secretary, Robert R. Walker ; Executive Com-
mittee: F. O. Shepardson, Charles F. Fairbanks and
A. L. Stephen; Exhibition Committee: Robert B.
Walker, B. R. Norley, Willis Chase, David Tyndall,
and Thomas M. Proctor ; auditor, Jelle Roos.

A motion was made and carried that the Executive
Committee be authorized to arrange with the Flower
Grower and the Gladiolus Bulletin for ads relative to
membership. By another motion the president was
authorized to appoint a Grievance Committee of three
for the ensuing year.

Extensive and extremely interesting remarks re-
garding the activities of the American Gladiolus So-
ciety were made by Dr. S. Irving Moody. After con-
siderable discussion a motion was made and carried
that the president appoint a committee of three ex-
perienced growers with power to give an award of
merit to any seedling which shall have previously re-
ceived honorable mention at an exhibition of the
society. A further motion was made and carried that
all seedlings shown in competition at annual exhibi-
tions be judged by a committee composed of all the
judges officiating at the exhibition and that an honor-
able mention shall be awarded only to seedlings which
show distinctive meritorious quality.

An informal show of hands evinced unanimous ap-
proval of the idea of holding several meetings during
the Winter. The meeting voted to adjourn subject
to call of the Executive Committee at 4.45 p.m.

The S. A. F. and 0. H. Annual

READ THESE LETTERS

What Three Presidents—

THOS. ROLAND —1920-1

; To the Horticultural Interests of America:

The experience of societies everywhere,
in issuing- annuals of the rig-lit sort, is evi-
dence that they are a benefit; especially
where the opportunity offers, as with us,
to collate information on the new and the
old, on science and on hard-headed prac-
tice, on theory and experience — all to an
extent not equaled in most industries, be-
cause ours is progressing rapidly and with-
out enough of either science, standardiza-
tion or widespread information.

Rightly done — and it will be rightly
done — our ANNUAL will be a much con-
sulted aid to every florist and horticultur-
ist. It is intended to make its value evi-
dent from the beginning, although natu-
rally it may improve with the years.

The S. A. F. cooperates with the A. T.
De La Mare Co. in this publication. Initial
expenses are the heaviest and initial re-
ceipts may be the lowest — until its way is
shown and its worth is proven. I bespeak,
therefore, the hearty support of florists
everywhere; for they will reap the benefit,
and after a few years' experience they wili
prize it as a real history in current events,
prophecy and analysis of the progress of
horticulture in America.

This is only one of many doing's of the
S. A. F. in the aid of plant and flower lov-
ers. Join the S. A. F. The lover and the
Society can help each other.

(Signed) THOMAS ROLAND.

How It Can Serve You

OFFICIALLY approved and authorized by the Thirty-eighth Annual Convention of the
S. A. F. and O. H., this Annual is going to be "a yearly review of the progress and accom-
plishment of American horticulture; a complete record of the membership and work of
the Society and other horticultural organizations and of horticultural activities in general; and
an uptodate directory and reference book of practical information for all branches of the trade."
As a practical grower, retailer, seedsman, nurseryman, etc., you will find it an
invaluable source of reference material, dates, addresses, records, facts and figures; you will want
to keep it as close at hand as the telephone directory or the dictionary. It will help you keep
abreast of the leading horticultural achievements of the day.

As a member of the S. A. F. and O. H., the F. T. D. A., the National Growers, or any of
the national specialty associations, you will find it a welcome, tangible link to keep you in closer
touch with the Mother Society. As an inducement to prospective members, it will add to the
strength and prestige of the organization and thereby enable it to further promote your welfare.

As a buyer of plant materials of all sorts, you will find it an extensive, carefully arranged and classified
directory of the best dealers in every line.

As an advertiser of horticultural goods, you will find it a medium of unprecedented scope and worth.
An assured circulation of over 4000 among the cream of the trade, and a probable distribution among fully as

many other practical tradesmen will carry your

©

Who Will It Serve?

The S. A. F. and O. H. Annual will be so compre-
hensive, practical and timely, that it will prove in-
valuable as a daily guide and reference book for

Florists, Seedsmen, Nurserymen

Growers, Wholesalers, Supply Dealers

Greenhouse and Boiler Manufacturers

Fertilizer Concerns, Gardeners

Instructors, Investigators, Editors
Advanced Amateurs

Everyone, in fact, who has any interest, direct
or indirect, in any phase of horticulture both within
and without the ranks of the Society.

The volume will be so arranged that each group
of users will be able to quickly locate the desired
information in his own or any related field.

of the S. A. F. and 0. H.

S. S. PENN0CK-1921-2

When the proposal was made to issue
an Annual such as is outlined by the
proposition that the S. A. F. accepted
at its annual convention in August, quite
a number felt that this would be a won-
derful advantage to the trade ; but I
don't believe that those who really know
the most about it fully realize, even now,
what it will mean in the future — what a
help it will he.

It is a book that every one should
have for reference, and no florist in any
branch of the business can afford to be
without this most valuable work of prac-
tical and uptodate information.

(Signed) S. S. Pennock.

message before the majority of the country's
highest class buying public. The added prestige
of a place among the leading advertisers of the day
— in what may be called a Horticultural Buyer's
Blue Book — will make your advertising a sure
fire, giltedge investment.

Four hundred pages of text; 100 or more pages
of usable advertising; well printed on good paper,
strongly bound (regularly in paper but in cloth
for those who desire it, at slight added cost),
carefully edited, complete, accurate, reliable —
the S. A. F. and O. H. Annual is the outstanding
feature in modern horticultural trade literature.

Say About the Annual

IRWIN BERTERMANN-1922-3

The progress and accomplishment of
Aniei'ieau horticulture and floriculture
are keeping pace with the foremost of
this great counti'y's undertakings. The
Society of American Florists, as the ex-
ponent of this leadership, has taken un-
der its guidance many matters of direct
and vital importance to the individual
florist. The society does not indulge in
generalities, but is a valuable practical
asset for each of us.

Think, too, of the inspiration that we
can gain from the fact that four thou-
sand leading, stalwart florists of the,
country are united in aiming for the best
there is ! Consequently it gives me great
pride to heartily endorse the Annual as
an exemplification of the kind of serv-
ice the society renders. Good luck and
success to it, reaching onward and for-
ward at all times.

(Signed) Irwin Beetermann.

Notes from Abroad

Nov. 11. — Moist weather seems to pre-
vail in most of the European growing dis-
tricts, and these conditions are not fa-
vorable to the thrashing and drying of
seeds, so that if deliveries of certain ar-
ticles are somewhat later than usual, we
trust our oversea friends will make the
necessary allowances.

The frosts of a few days back had their
calculated effect on the flower trade, and
the flowers grow-n under glass are now
bulking more largely in the markets. If
frosts come too early, outdoor growers
don't like it and if mild weather con-
tinues too long, the glass house men have
a bad time. It is impossible to please
everybody; even the old farmer who had
a bumping Wheat crop complained that
the Mushrooms hadn't grown any.

From Denmark, an unfavorable season
is reported, owing to the damp and sun-
less Summer. Even Cauliflowers have not
done well. Cabbages, Red Cabbages and
Savoys are very short crops, but plenty of
good 1921 seed is available. Carrots and
Radishes have also suffered from the wet.
Rutabaga, field Turnips and garden Tur-
nips were a short acreage and the crop
is very limited, with consequent rise of
prices.

In the South of France, Tomatoes are
a good crop; also Melons. Cucumbers
are generally under average, especially
the short and half-long varieties, but bet-
ter than at one time expected. Squashes
have mostly yielded well, and flower seeds
in general are a fair crop. In Algeria and
North Africa generally, growers are wait-
ing for rain in order to begin their Fall
sowings; the seasonal precipitation be-
ing unusually late this year.

News from Germany is scarce. Natural
grasses are slow in coming in; the export
of pulses is mainly forbidden and not
much else is on offer. Some kinds of
flower seeds seem to have done better
there than elsewhere. Final results of
Lily of the Valley crown harvest, show
that little more than a quarter of the
pre-war quantity has been produced and
the acreage planted yearly increases rath-
er slowly.

As has been the case on your side, we
are now suffering somewhat from the
election malady, and business is not
thereby encouraged, though all parliamen-
tary candidates promise faithfully, if re-
turned, to improve it. The British Cham-
ber of Horticulture advises that our trade
should put pressure on the candidates to
induce them to try to forward its inter-
ests. Promises certainly cost nothing, but
if every business presented a long string
of questions to the aspiring politician, me-
thinks hi9 life would hardly be worth
living

Preparations are now proceeding apace
for the horticultural part of the British
Empire exhibition to be opened in April
1924; a leading Kew official has the mat-
ter in hand. It will be on a scale not
hitherto attempted; all branches of the
industry will be represented. Access from
all parts of the metropolis will be easy,
and so every horticulturist from your side
who contemplates a European trip in
1924, should not fail to include a visit to
this great show in his program.

Nov. 18. — Notwithstanding the turmoil
in the British political world, business
lias not been greatly disturbed thereby,
iind the cut flower trade was fairly satis-
iactory last week. Roman Hyacinths and
Piperwhite Narcissi are treading on the
heels of the Parma Violets, so to speak,
the season being earlier than usual.
C'hri-tmas trees have already begun to
put ii. an appearance.

In the English growing districts, bien-
nial plantations are generally looking
well, tlr: moist, open weather favoring
their development, though there is a dan-
ger of their getting too far forward to
resist severe weather, the incidence of
which has always to be reckoned with.

The latest reports from France an-
nounce that the limited acreage of Celery
has yielded well. Chicories and Endives
are harvested and partly thrashed; re-
sults are said to be moderate to poor.
Magdeburg Chicory is an average crop;
the plantations for 1923 are looking well.
Parsnip is rather short, also Salsify and
Scorzonera. Radish is very scarce and
prices rising. The Fall sowings of Spin-
ach have come up well in the South.
Broad Beans have turned out under aver-
age and the new sowings are not made
until February. The harvesting of bush
snap Beans has been impeded by the un-
seasonably damp weather at the end of
Summer, and the good prospects some-
what reduced, so that prices are begin-
ning to rise. Peas are a small acreage
in the West, but have yielded fairly well
in the center and South.

The noble army of government inspec-
tors under the British Seeds Act appear
to have been doing their work pretty
thoroughly, according to the report just
issued. A very large number of the ad-
ventitious sections of seed distributors
have been visited and the fishmongers,
gasfitters, confectioners, etc., who kind-
ly assist the legitimate seed trade to do
its business, have been rather rigidly
dealt with. However, not more than about
10 per cent of the samples taken have
been found t.o be unsatisfactory in vary-
ing degrees, which is an improvement on
last year's report, so that the legitimate
trade, though sometimes annoyed at in-
spectors' visits at inopportune times, may
congratulate itself that the Seeds Act is
having a better effect than was antici-
pated.

The British Chamber of Horticulture is
fairly satisfied with the answers received
from the different candidates for parlia-
mentary honors to whom it put certain
test questions, and it really appears as
if horticultural interests will be better
looked after in the new parliament than
they were in its predecessor.

Catalogs in the Making

In every seed store in this city which
is in the habit of sending out an annual
seed catalog, work is progressing on that
interesting line of literature and will be
pushed to the utmost during the month
of December. Some catalogs, it is re-
ported, will go out shortly, perhaps as
early as mid-December, and others will
be in circulation by Jan. 1, while still
others. will appear about mid- January.
From all that we can learn, the most
of these will have covers illustrated in
colors and: not a few of them will be pro-
fusely illustrated both with half-tones
and in colors, showing the standard flow-
ers and vegetables, and also novelties.
With slower counter sales and shipping
orders, the several heads of the depart-
ments in seed concerns, through whose
hands the annual seed catalogs pass,
have more time for the work of "making
up" in December, than in any other
month of the year, except perhaps in the
Summer months, a period which is rather
early for this kind of work, and also,
given over to vacations. After these
catalogs have been in circulation about
a month, orders consequent upon the
reading of these, will indicate in a meas-
ure, what the seed business will be for
the Spring months.
Flower Roots Moving

F. Rynveld & Son, 61 Vesey St., report
the arrival of further lots of both Japa-
nese and Holland hardy Lilies ; also, of a
large shipment of Immortelles. Spira?as
are reported to be in good demand and
many orders for these are being filled al
this firm's nurseries on Long Island.

We have again harvested a record-
breaking crop of some of the best market
varieties, which we are offering to the
commercial grower and market gardener
only, at far below the regular prices, aa
we do not want to carry them over or sell
them in bulk, giving our patrons a real bar-
gain. We want every cut flower grower to
take advantage of this sale, as many vari-
eties are only in limited quantities and will
be sold only as long as they last.

All these varieties are the Winter-
Flowering Spencer types and can be grown
indoors or outdoors the year around.
They will produce more and better flowers
outdoors than the old late Spencers, be-
cause they bloom 3 to 4 weeks earlier,
before the hot weather sets in. Plant
after the Chrysanthemum and get a full
crop for Easter. Plant in cool frames or
outdoors just before the freezing beginB
and get a full crop in May for Decoration
Day. Plant out of doors in the Spring
and they will bloom early in June.

Blooming and Foliage

Plants for Christmas

Christmas is the main holiday of the year. We do not only
wish our friends a Merry Christmas, but presents are exchanged.
What is more beautiful than a fine blooming plant, or a foliage

which takes him as far North and West
as Minnesota. W. C. Eickards of the
traveling force of this firm is now out on
a business trip covering Pennsylvania.
Maryland and Washington. D. C. The
annual catalog of this firm is now in the
hands of the printer, and is expected to
be ready for circulation shortly. We
regret to learn that Wm. M. Hunt of this
company received a cablegram dated,
Nov. 21, announcing the death of his
mother at the age of 70 years in Brad-
ford, England. She is survived by two
sons and one daughter.

Burnett Bros., 92 Chambers St., are

expecting to receive a shipment of hardy

Japanese Lilies in a few days. They re-

..port -a- brisk demand- for their special

brand of Lily of the Valley pips. Late
orders are coming in so freely, that the
filling of these is rapidly cleaning up all
that is left of their bulb stock. The an-
nual seed catalog of this firm is now well
under way.

S. S. Skidelsky & Co., 53 Park pi., are
in receipt of their first shipment of Lily
of the Valley pips for this season. Their
orders placed for these pips have been
shipped short, but the quality is excel-
lent. Further shipments are expected to
arrive in good time.

The MaeNiff Horticultural Co., 196
Greenwich st., reports an excellent sale
on Friday of last week in their auction
department, consisting largely of Dutch
bulbs. Their Christmas stock is expected
to arrive soon and will cover everything
useful for the holidays, such as roping,
frieze, Euscus and growing plants.

At Vaughan's Seed Store, 41 to 43
Barclay St., Dutch bulbs are practically
cleaned up and a special price list of the
Gladioli bulbs is now being sent out to
seedsmen and florists. The mails are be-
ginning to bring in a number of orders,
consequent upon the circulation of this
list. At their Michigan farms, where 1S5
acres are devoted to the growing of Glad-
ioli, two cars are now being loaded with
these bulbs for the New York store. This
store has just received a large shipment
of German grown Lily of the Valley,
both early and late flowering types.
Though it is so late, the counter demand
for bulbs at retail is still active. Orders
for Christmas goods are coming in freely
from - their travelers, and their Holly
grower writes that Holly will be excep-
tionally fine this year. Three carloads
of Holly are due to arrive early in De-
cember, and others will follow. This
store is now mailing out a special holi-
day cataloff. covering all holiday goods.

Harry Simpson, representing Cooper,
Taber & Co., of London, Eng., after three
months of traveling in this country, dur-
ing which time he covered the principal
cities of the East, the West as far as
Kansas City, the South to Dallas, Texas,
sailed for home recently.

Although this was Mr. Simpson's first
experience in the United States, he re-
ports a most successful trip. Questioned
as to the operation of the new tariff, he
said that it had made no difference in
the amount of his orders, although some
of the new customs levies are far in ex-
cess of what they were before the McCum-
ber-Fordney Tariff Bill went into effect.
Flower seeds, for instance, now pay 6c.
a pound duty, previously free. Cauliflower
pays 25c. a pound; heretofore it was
free; practically all the Cauliflower seed
used in the United States is imported.
Mangel seed is now 4c. per pound; previ-
ously it was free. Cabbage seed is 10c.
per pound; previously it was but 6c. And
the several grass and Clover seeds, former-
ly free, now carry from lc. to 4c. a pound
duty.

Cincinnati Seed Trade

Seed and bulb trade in this market
slowed down somewhati this week, due
to the wintry weather. Florists are pretty
well stocked up, but the mail order buyers
and garden clubs have, it is thought, closed
their demands until after the New Year.
The season has been the best for bulbs
in many years, some asserting that they
have never known such a long sustained
demand for bulbs. Ordinarily there is
a spurt in September, and a dribble
through October, but this year the bulb
demand kept up in steadily increasing
volume until past the middle of Novem-
ber. Some small jobbers had counted on
this being an off year for bulbs, and sold

out too early. They had to replenish
stocks several times in small amounts to
keep up with customers' calls. One house
is receiving its third consignment of bulbs,
and has had difficulty in keeping pace
with repeat orders.

Preparations are now being made for
Spring trade, and quite a number of or-
ders tor Spring delivery were filled last
week by local houses. The seed trade has
been slow except in Spring orders for
Blue Grass and Bermuda Grass. Field
seeds generally were quiet, and little is
expected in this line for several months.
Flower seeds are also more or less
dormant. E. L. Hawes.

Chicago Seed Trade

The W. W. Barnard Co. is offering
Holly for Thanksgiving, the first on the
Chicago market. A price list of holiday
goods in colors is ready for mailing the
wholesale trade. E. B. Howe, president
of the company reports a splendid clean-
up on all bulb stock.

Vincent Niel of the American Buib
Co. is in the hospital for a few days
where he went for a minor operation, the
result of an automobile accident a few
years ago. A. Miller will leave imme-
diately after Thanksgiving for New York
City where he goes on business in con-
nection with the opening of the new store
and offices of the company as already
announced. Jas. J. Karins, who is to
be the managing spirit of the New York
store is receiving many compliments from
Chicago friends on his connection with
the A. B, C, and his acceptance of the
vice-presidency of the company. Mr.
Karins' extensive knowledge of Eastern
conditions and acquaintance with the re-
quirements of the trade in that section
as well as his personal following, should
be a considerable asset to him in this
new connection.

Vaughan's Seed Store has issued its
holiday circular and is now filling orders
for bouquet green and Holly. The lack
of early frost to harden and put gloss on
the Holly foliage is noted. Beports gen-
erally indicate a good crop of berries.
The quality of the early picked bouquet
green from Michigan and Wisconsin is
poor, owing to a long, dry Autumn, and
is better for dyeing purposes than for flo-
rists who generally use it fresh. In the
flower seed department, there is a good
demand for Larkspur, Stocks, and Sweet
Peas to follow 'Mums.

A. Henderson & Co.'s store is gay with
pot plants and a general line of attrac-
tive novelties for the holidays. W. J.
Sharpe keeps up a handsome window dis-
play, changing from time to time ac-
cording to the requirements of the sea-
sons. Travelers on the road are book-
ing advance orders for seeds and bulbs
for Spring delivery. Gladioli are in espe-
cially good demand.

Boston Seed Trade

A tour among the seed stores in Boston
brings out the fact that the year just
about to close has fulfilled the most san-
guine hopes; that in many respects it has
exceeded all records and that the present
outlook points most decidedly to a con-
tinuance of good business. Never in the
history of Boston has there been experi-
enced such activity in the building trades;
not only in the city itself, but also in the
nearby cities, towns and hamlets, And it
is especially the residences, bungalows
and cottages which are springing up
everywhere in the environs of the "Hub"
with their garden plots and playgrounds,
that will inevitably call for seeds, plants,
tools and poultry supplies. The teachings,
spread by the Garden Clubs, women's or-
ganizations, daily papers, magazines, hor-
ticultural and agricultural fairs and ex-
hibitions and the flower and vegetable
shows everywhere, are bearing fruit. This
may be seen any day by taking a stroll
or drive in the suburbs, where the gar-
dens and front or back lots are one sheet
of color from the beginning of the grow-
ing season until the end. There is hard-
ly a dwelling, whether rich or poor, that
has not around it a fine display of good
Dahlias, Peonies, Gladioli, Asters and
masses of perennials and shrubs, not to
mention vegetables. There can be no
doubt but that a real craze for planting
nice things has taken a hold of the people.
Instead of the one time Golden Glow we
now see Hollyhocks against the walls with

hardy Delphiniums and Phloxes in front
of them and, where there is room for a
climbing Eose, we find it filled with one
of the beautiful varieties. Many streets,
in June, are veritable avenues of Eoses.
Truly, gardening has come into its own.

The old-renowned Hovey & Co. Seed
Store, established 1834, 19-20 South Mar-
ket St., lately occupied by Carter's Tested
Seeds, has been acquired by David G.
Eeid and Norman Howden, both of whom
have been with Carter's Tested Seeds for
a number of years. Both partners are
young men of excellent character and re-
putation and both possess a pleasing per-
sonality and know the seed business from
the ground up. They will conduct the
business under the old-time name on mod-
ern lines and have the best of good wishes
of their widespread circle of friends
among the trade and customers.

E. & J. Farquhar & Co. report an ex-
tremely large counter trade in bulbs which
has completely used up the stock of many
lines. With the weather favorable for
bulb planting as it is, the demand is keep-
ing up remarkably well and it is ex-
pected to close out all bulb surplus be-
fore the ground freezes. Sales of seeds
for greenhouse use have started well and
the reports from the big greenhouses in
Dedham show that orders for Christmas
stock are coming in even better than last
year when the sale of Christmas plants
broke all former records. This year's
crop of Cyclamens, Begonias, Poinsettias,
Ericas, ferns and palms, etc., is A-l. The
nursery business has picked up wonder-
fully since the first of September. The
firm is preparing for the introduction,
this coming Spring, of about 25 fine novel-
ties in plants and seeds.

Fottler, Fiske & Eawson Co. never ex-
perienced a season when bulbs sold out
so clean and so early as they have this
Fall. Paperwhites are an exception and
are selling much slower than in other
years. The poultry department is already
more than busy and has become an im-
portant side line.

We are glad to mention that James
Fottler can be found at his office every
day, having recovered from his injuries of
nearly a year ago; really wonderful for
a man. of over 80 years of age. True, this
veteran of the seed trade is obliged to
rely upon the help of crutches, but other-
wise he is as spry and smart as ever and
has not lost his quiet sense of humor.

Philadelphia Seed Trade | ,|

The Henry F. Michell Co. is getting
ready for sales of Christmas greens — ad-
vertising them and working up interest
generally. Stock will include the usual
run of Holly, Mistletoe, Boxwood, wreaths,
etc.

The Moore Seed Co., quite a little
business from florists and vegetable grow-
ers on the Pacific Coast this year. A re-
cent visitor here was the representative
of Algot Holmburg & Son, Norrkoping,
Sweden.

•Bulbs generally seem to have cleaned
up. Chinese Lilies were particularly suc-
cessful this year. Narcissi are plentiful
with fhe exception of the better grades,
Golden Spur, Van Waveren's Giant, Em-
peror, King Alfred; Crocus is particularly
scarce.

Hosea Waterer is getting ready to
move into the upper floor of the build-
ing he occupies at 628 Chestnut. This will
make the entire building occupied by this
firnv — basement, ground floor and upper
floor.

I. N. Simon & Son are held up in their
plans for arranging a Christmas window
by an accident which occurred Sunday
noon, Nov. 19. It appears a Ford tour-
ing car was driving out of 5th st. and
turned the corner at full speed — then
kept on turning right into the front win-
dow of the seed establishment. Two
large panes of glass and some crockery
and Hyacinth glasses were broken — all
damage covered by insurance. The win-
dow frame, however, was pushed several
inches off its foundations and jacks had
to be used in order to get it back in
place. Nov. 27 the windows were not
yet ready to be glassed.

However* the driver of the , automobile
had a wonderful alibi. Said he was in
a hurry to get to Atlantic City — had his.
sweetheart in the car with him! The car
got off with a bent axle.

LILY OF THE VALLEY PIPS

We regret to inform the trade that an unprecedented demand for Cold Storage
Valley Pips has exhausted our supply, which we thought would be ample to take
care of orders until this year's crop is ready for distribution.

The new crop is reported to be short in the best forcing grade pips. Consci-
entious shippers in Germany are already declining orders. Our own supply will
be smaller than last year. Prices on early orders will remain about the same.
There is no ground for hasty action, but growers of Valley should carefully
figure out what quantity they can use in 1923, and then proceed to compare
qualities as soon as the stocks arrive. It is advisable to place orders for the
entire season as soon as the right stock at the right price has been located, for
there will not be much cold storage stock carried over until nest Fall by jobbers
and dealers, according to present indications.

We accept orders for new Valley now, subject to your approval of our quality.

"You mil be pleased."

Week at the Capital

By CLARENCE L. LINZ

Business Survey Shows Better Times

The outstanding feature of October busi-
ness conditions was the large increase in
production in the basic commodities, ac-
cording to a report just issued by Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover. The improve-
ment in the coal situation, it is stated,
has enabled many mills to increase their
operations. But dwindling stocks, delays
in transportation and increased wages due
to labor shortage, have combined to raise

E rices to a marked degree. The volume of
usiness, as reflected in sales of mail
order houses and chain stores, and_ in bank
clearing and debits, continued to increase,
and credit expanded to meet these condi-
tions. Taken altogether, the statistical
indicators reflect conditions decidedly on
the upswing.

Express Investigation Next

A full investigation of the express situ-
ation throughout the country is to be
made by the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission as a result of hearings held in
Washington, Nov. 20 to 23, when repre-
sentatives of the American Railway Ex-
press Co. and the larger railroad systems
submitted testimony to show that the rail-
roads are not securing an adequate re-
turn for the express matter they carry.
Snippers, although represented, submitted
no evidence, but will study the testimony
to see if there is any justification for the
filing of an application for a reduction in
rates. It was stated that the shippers
are anxious for better service rather than
lower rates (although the latter would be
acceptable), and that they would later
isk for national rules regarding pickup
and delivery service ana for quicker
methods of transportation.

Hearings will be held throughout the
country during the Winter to learn what
the shippers think, and on April 9 the
State Commissions will be given an oppor-
tunity to present their side of the case.
Thereafter, probably, briefs will be filed
by all parties interested, and it is pos-
sible that a big general hearing may be

held some time in the early Summer. It
will probably be nearly a year, however,
before the decision of the commission is
rendered.

Exports Highest in 19 Months

Exports of merchandise during October
reached a higher total than they have
touched for 19 months, according to pre-
liminary figures of the Department of
Commerce. Total shipments during the
month were valued at $372,000,000, as
compared with $313, 093,286. in the pre-
ceding month and $343,330,815 in Oct.
1921. The highest figure ever reached by
ou foreign trade was in June 1919, when
exports totaled $928,379,203.

New Bill Against Travel Surcharges

Another bill designed to prevent the col-
lection by railroads of surcharges for
transportation in parlor or sleeping cars
has been introduced in the House of Rep-
resentatives by Congressman McLaughlin
of Nebraska to amend Sec. 1 of the Inter-
state Commerce Act. It is not intended,
however, to prevent the collection of just
and reasonable charges for the use of ac-
commodations in parlor cars or sleeping
cars by the. companies owning such cars.

It is the extra charge on parlor and
sleeping car accommodations imposed by
the I. C. C. in 1920 that has since ;been
the subject of much dissatisfaction among
travelers.

For Prompter Tax Assessments

Legislation to provide that, except in
cases of fraud and concealment, income
tax returns must be reviewed, and any
additional assessment made within one
year after the filing of the returns, is
being sought in Congress by Rep. Jones
of Texas. He says he is moved to seek
this amendment to the Internal Revenue
law because of the confusion, uncertainty
and hardship occasioned by assessments
made two, three, four or five years alter
taxes become due and payable. One year,
he contends, will give the Government
ample time to make any correction that
may be necessary.

Check Exports to Conserve Coal

No exports of coal would be permitted
until the needs of domestic consumers
have been fully met, under the terms of
a bill which has been introduced in Con-

gress by Rep. John Jacob Rogers of
Slassachusetts as one of a series designed
to relieve the present coal crises and to
decrease the danger of similar crises in
the future. By another of his bills, the
President would be authorized to declare
an embargo on coal exports whenever he
found that the public interest so required.
Nearly 1,250,000 tons of coal were ex-
ported from the United States during the
month of September, M. Rogers points
out, in the face of one of the most serious
coal shortages we have faced for a num-
ber of years. Such exports, he asserts,
not only deprive us of coal of which we
are urgently in need, but tend to raise

The Why of Our Postal Bills

An, appopriation of $750,000 is to be
asked of Congress by the Post Office De-
partment for the pupose of making a com-
plete study of the cost . of handling all
classes of mail, the results to be the baBis
for a revision of postal charges on all
classes of mail matter. An investigation
of the cost of handling parcel post mail
(the first of its kind) was started in
September, but had to be discontinued
because of the lack of funds and the ap-
poach of the holiday season. No other
such investigation has been made for a
number of vears. The Postmaster Gen-
eral, some time ago, advised Congress and
the Interstate Commerce Commission
that, in his belief, it would probably be
necessary to seek an increase in rates.

Wholesale Seedsmen 100 Years

It is interesting to note from the
Horticultural Advertiser that W. W.
Johnson & Son, Ltd., Boston, England,
started in the wholesale seed growing
business in 1829, Wm. Wade Johnson
being the pioneer of the firm. In those
days Mr. Johnson catered to local market
growers, but by degrees he spread out
and became interested in subjects other
than vegetables. As is now well known,
W. W. Johnson & Son, Ltd., do an im-
mense export trade in farm, vegetable
and flower seeds, the firm's traveler being
a regular visitor to the United States.
Many high class varieties of vegetables
have been introducd by this firm.

New Orleans, La.

The Market

Nov. 25. — Cold weather seems to
have set in in earnest in New Orleans,
and for the first time this Fall fires are
cosily burning in the grates of the popu-
lace. Rains were followed by this cold
streak of weather, which is hanging on
with a firm grip, showing as yet no signs
of relaxing. This- weather has rather
helped to settle the market, for it has
curtailed the local supply and permits
Northern stock to come in much better.
It is predicted by the local weather bu-
reau that the first frost of the season will
fall tonight, thus cutting off outdoor sup-
plies. With the first real Fall weather
comes the usual round of sickness; some
victims end up in the hospital, and as a
result the hospital and sick room flower
trade has been good.

With the coming of Violets and other
Winter plants begin the activities of the
most enticing flowers, the new crop of
debutantes. The social season is just get-
ting in full sway now. Its rounds of en-
tertainment, honoring visitors, debutantes
past and present, and the various other
functions incident to such activities are
affecting florists considerably. Further,
the influx of Winter visitors has begun in
earnest. The racing season starts on
Thanksgiving Day, and this is the real
beginning of the tourists' season in New
Orleans.

Very few Chrysanthemums are now be-
ing marketed by local growers, their crops
being exhausted. Neither are dealers re-
ceiving any shipments from California,
preferring rather to bring them in from
the North. Out of town Carnations are
being received regularly, along with Roses
and valley. Sweet Peas are coming in in
small quantities, and a few Violets.

New Orleans — Continued from 1476

cultural Board at Washington during the
first part of the week. The New Orleans
Horticultural Society was instrumental
in sending E. R. Barber, former entomolo-
gist of the United States Department of
Agriculture, to the capital this week for
the purpose of showing the board why
the scale quarantine was unnecessary. He
was accompanied by State Entomologist
Anderson, who went along to represent
the horticulturists from all over the State
of Louisiana.

Bankruptcy would have been inevitable
for nurserymen of the State if they had
been cut off from outside sources of dis-
tribution. The camphor scale is not
Erevalent at the present time, and has
een fought incessantly for ten years. At
the last session of the Legislature, an ap-
propriation of $50,000 was voted to com-
bat advances of the scale.

Florists Meeting

A meeting of the newly organized New
Orleans Retail Florists Association is
scheduled to take place on Dec. 1, at the
home of P. A. Chopin. This association
has been organized for the mutual ad-
vancement of the retail trade. It plans
by cooperative effort and advertising to
increase business and to establish a higher
standard of service. Cooperative Thanks-
giving ads are at present appearing in
the daily papers through the efforts of the
society, and apparent results will be dis-
cussed at the meeting.

Ant Campaign Near Completion

Next Thursday, weather conditions
permitting, will see the end of the ant
extermination campaign, which has been
occupying the attention' of the city, as
well as towns in other parts of the State.
This statement was made the last part of
this week by R. T. Hobson, chief inspector
of the entomological division of the Louisi-
ana Department of Agriculture, in charge
of the distribution of the poison. Pour
main crews and several smaller squads
of men are covering the small portions of
the city which yet remain unfinished.

When the work is completed, attention
will be given to complaints by all persons
who feel that the work in their sections
has not been done thoroughly, and after
the expiration of this period, the ant
extermination task will nave been com-
pleted. Bad conditions of the streets at
this time of the year has hampered the
work of distribution, making it necessary
in instances for the field men to tarry
the poison several blocks before they
reach their distribution sections.

The weather is now ideal for direct
effects of the ant poison, according to Mr.
Hobson, for with the coming of cold
weather, the normal food supply of the
ant diminishes so that he will seek the
compound eagerly during the intervening
warm days. Eating his fill of this sweet
mixture on such days, he hibernates dur-
ing a cold spell, and it is at this time the
Eoison gets in its best work, for the ant,
eing semi-dormant, is unable to throw off
the effects of the poison. C. J. M.

That "Christmassy" Touch

The flickering yellow flame of wax candles . . .
The warm color of the Yuletide fireplace . . . The
blaze of brilliance against the dark velvet green
of the Christmas tree . . . The bright, red ber-
ries of the lustrous-leaved Holly. . . .

A Dwarf Orange or Lemon Tree fits into
the color scheme like a charm — adds a new-
touch of its own, in fact, with its glossy green
leaves and golden fruit.

A wonderful Christmas seller — and profitable
art the Jow prices quoted by us.

The Great American Wonder Lemon

Wai bear fragrant flowers and fruits in

any ordinary living room. Fruits are

immense. Equal to three or four ordinary

Lemons

This is one of the grandest fruits for house
culture ever introduced. The flowers are pure
waxy white, very sweet and like orange blos-
soms; the leaves are thick, glossy green, and
shine as if varnished. It is a strong, healthy
grower, requires no coddling, and will bear
fruits quickly as soon as established.

Dwarf Otaheite Orange

Has thick, glossy green leaves and deliriously
sweet, pure white flowers. It begins fruiting
while quite young, and bears flowers and
lovely golden yellow Oranges on the same
plant at the same time.

All summer field-grown — now in pots
— nicely established.

Christmas Preparations

Start in Early
As a retail grower, you most likely have
to purchase a lot of stock for Christmas
and while tender plants such as Begonias,
Poinsettias or Crotons may he better oft"
with the specialist up to a week or so
before, there are a lot of others, including
Cyclamen, Primulas, Ericas, Ardisias,
Solanums, palms and ferns which should
be on hand early. Don't wait with your
holiday display until the 15th or 18th of
the month; get it into shape right after
Thanksgiving is over. Red and green are
the colors; oftentimes one of your patrons
will visit your establishment with no
idea of ordering, but seeing an attractive
display, will do so before leaving. Be
ready early. Take orders. You can
handle well advanced Cyclamen nicely in
a house of 50 or a little over. You can
have a few arrangements of plants in
baskets and hampers ready by the fifth
of December on display. Palms, Dra-
caenas, Pandanus or specimen Boston ferns
don't spoil, even in a low temperature.
"What is gained by waiting to have your
requirements in these lines? Start early;
.maybe you have noticed that the depart-
ment stores of the large cities start to
talk Christmas in early November and
"keep at it every day after.

Early Daffodils

Don't Force Too Hard

Neither Daffodils nor any of the Nar-
cissi we force need to freeze outdoors be-
fore they are brought into heat. What
they do need, however, is a heavy root
growth and if you have Golden Spurs, etc.,
which were planted eight weeks or so
ago, you won't make a mistake by bring-
ing-, a few flats into the Violet house.
Even a house of 50 degs. won't hurt, as
long as the flats or pans rest on the
ground, away from heating pipes and
are kept in the dark. After three weeks
or so, or by the first week in January,
they are ready to be exposed to a higher
temperature and, if not forced too hard,
.you should experience no trouble in cut-
ting flowers by the end of that month.
In the meantime, have other flats com-
ing along. For the smaller grower, it
is always well to go slowly; he usually
is money ahead by not forcing too hard
-and thereby obtains the highest percent-
age of perfect flowers. After all, it does
not make a great deal of difference
whether he cuts his first flowers ten days
earlier or later, but allowing ten days
more time in January, usually means less
buds coming blind or flowers with short
stems.

Spiraea japonica

For Forcing Under Glass

As was the case in days gone by with
Azaleas, so with these Spiraeas. Every
florist with glass would, each year, pur-
chase just so many to be brought into
flower and they formed one of the im-
portant Easter plants. Again we can ob-
tain Spiraea clumps, but thus far, home
grown stock has not in every case proved
quite satisfactory. However, if you re-
tail what you grow, it won't be a mis-
take to pot up a few clumps of Peach
Blossom in Queen Alexandra or Gladstone.
The earlier they are potted up the better.
Stored in a cool place and the soil al-
ways kept moist, they will have a good
chance to become established and be ready
to respond to warmer quarters next Feb-
ruary, when they should have a 55 deg.
Jiouse if wanted in bloom by April 1.
You may even have to increase the heat a
little if the plants appear backward by
early March, but the slower they are al-
lowed to come along, the finer the flower
spikes and that counts, especially when
one has only a few.

Easter Lilies

Not Too Late to Plant Formosums

You can still plant Formosums and have
.a good percentage of the plants come into
bloom by next Easter. In a house kept

Going After Business

Relieve the Christmas Rush

The large supply houses dont wait until you and I think we need some-
thing in their line; they have salesmen to hunt you up and remind' you of
all kinds of things you really ought to have. What harm is there for the
country florist to not get busy with the phone and take orders for Holly
wreaths. This usually leads to other business, such as loose Holly, Mistle-
toe, Boxwood, Winterberries ; maybe a centerpiece for the dining table, or
plants for later delivery. There is nothing wrong about this. In nine cases
out of ten your patrons will thank you for having called them up. In many
suburban towns, business the three weeks before Christmas is apt to be
rather dull. You can help business and make things hum by getting busy
with the phone. Not only will you greatly increase your sales, but greatly
relieve the usual rush the day before Christmas.

Plain Talk

a little over 50 deg. you will have a few
out of the lot ahead of time, and most
likely quite a number will come in dur-
ing the two weeks following Easter; that,
however, does not matter for around
Easter and up to Memorial Day, the aver-
age florist has more chance to use Lilies
than during any other period of the
year. With the smaller grower, these
Lilies pay best which can get along with
a temperature between 50 and 55 degs.
Lilium formosum will do this. If you
use about 200 pots of Lilies for Easter,
buy the plants in btid when the time
comes, from the specialist, but if you
don't care about the particular 'date
when your plants are in flower and you
want a Lily which requires the minimum
of care, by all means plant Formosum.
If you get busy now, planting the bulbs
and placing the pots underneath a Car-
nation bench, with just a little luck and
attention, you no doubt will have a nice
lot of plants in full flower by the last
week in March.

Field Notes

Covering Hardy Stock

In many sections of the country, great
numbers of biennials and perennials per-
ish each year for the want of a little pro-
tection during the Winter months. On
the other hand, many are ruined due to
too heavy or too early covering and some-
times to' both. When the ground is once
frozen three inches or more, and we
have reached the month of December, it
usually is safe to start to cover things
up, but to do so when there is no frost
in the ground is always dangerous. It
usually means killing such plants as Can-
terbury Bells, Foxglove, and others which
retain a part of their foliage. You can't
hurt a Peony, Phlox or Helianthus, but
the others you have to be careful with.
If there is stock to be covered, get the
material, whatever it may consist of,
ready, but don't put it on until steady
Winter weather has set in. In case of a
heavy snow, you don't need any cover-
ing and whenever conditions arise mak-
ing covering necessary, don't put heavy
manure on top of the plants. Small
branches of brush or other material laid
between or over the plants, followed by
dry leaves or straw with a top coat of
manure, will prevent damping off. Al-
ways see to it that your plants or rather
the beds they are in, are well drained;
melting snow should have a chance to get
away instead of standing between the
plants and later, freeze into a solid mass.
Frequently Pansies in a frame, when the
surface water cannot get away, freeze
out in this manner, when it would be
an easy matter to provide an outlet for
the water during late Fall.

Rooting Cuttings

Between Now and the New Year

We are going to be busy every day this
month; it's one thing after another until
January is here when we again look up
seed catalogs and we begin to take notice
of the small bedding stock. Right now it
might be well to consider taking what-
ever cuttings there are of anything in the
way of Spring or bedding stock and place
them into the propagating bench with a

little bottom heat. Geraniums, Agera-
tum, Lantana, Fuchsias, Salvias and a
lot of others will all be nicely rooted by
January, when you will be ready for them.
You may have a nice lot) of English Ivies
and variegated Vincas, full of wood, not
too hard nor too soft. It will pay to
root a good sized batch of both. Good
sized 2y2 in. or 3in. Geraniums may fur-
nish a fair sized cutting now and -the
cut down plant, if the wrood isn't too hard,
will break again quicker now than later
on. Well rooted cuttings or 21Ain. plants
of bedding stock always sell, for there is
hound to be some one short of what you
have a surplus of. So root what you can
now to be ready when through with the
holiday business.

Helianthus Monarch

Apropos the recent reference to this
novelty shown in England as being akin
to H. sparcifolius, Maurice Prichard
writes to the Horticultural Trade Journal
to the effect that in pre-war days, they
could not grow H. sparcifolius with any
success, but being urged to try Monarch,
they did so, with great results. He as-
sumes! Monarch is a select form of H.
sparcifolius, but mentions that it is said
not to be hardy in the North of England,
requiring lifting and storing.

Notable Exhibits in London

At the R. H. S. meeting on Nov. 14,
Miss Eaton of the New York Botanical
Gardens exhibited a collection of paint-
ings of wild dowers of the United States
for which she was awarded a silver gilt
Grenfell Medal, a unique honor for an
American artist.

H. J. Jones, the well known Chrysan-
themum specialist, staged a group of
'Mums which surpassed any of his pre-
vious gold medal displays. The group
contained 3000 blooms in 100 varieties,
embracing not only a wonderful collection
of disbudded Singles and commercial
sorts, but a gigantic array of all the
leading exhibition varieties. Not a poor
bloom was to be seen in the entire col-
lection, which was declared to be the
finest ever seen in England. It was
awarded the R. H. S. gold medal and the
special congratulations of the council.

It is not improbable that some of the
best shows held in America this Fall
did not contain more than 3000 long
stemmed disbudded blooms, so that one
can readily imagine what a group of this
number, carried up some 10ft. high and
mixed with Oak and other foliage, would
look like.

The medal, if it was not the usual hon-
orary one, would be worth about $20, so
that the exhibitor was relying on the
business pulling effect. All told, H. J.
Jones has been awarded at least half a
dozen R. H. S. gold medals this season
for Phlox, Michaelmas Daisies and Chrys-
anthemum exhibits.

And yet some people ask: Do trade ex-
hibits pay?

It's interesting to note how unani-
mously business men the world over re-
sent any semblance of a paternal atti-
tude on the part o£ Government depart-
ments. During the war we had a sur-
feit of this sort of attitude and as far
as possible, governments have endeav-
ored to run things ou much the same
restrictive lines.

Not every business concern, however,
has the nerve to talk straight as did a
Virginian coal mining company when
approached by the Bureau dealing with
fuel distribution. Here's a part of the
company's epistle as it appeared in the
American Florist :

"We sincerely believe the greatest
possible service to the trade within your
power is to get out, take as many as pos-
sible out with you and stay. We con-
sider an unmitigated curse the paternal-
ism into which the Government is en-
deavoring to translate the supervision
adopted during the war.

"In our opinion the paramount duty
of the Government at present is to dis-
continue all its unnecessary functions
with a view to reducing expenses and
consequently taxes. We believe we can
conservatively estimate at least 75 per
cent of the present Government bureaus
are unnecessary. The fact that you are
circularizing the trade for suggestions of
work to enable you to keep your depart-
ment busy indicates that at least a part
of your section is :
class."

North Carolina Horticultural Society

Annual Meeting

The annual meeting of the North Caro-
lina Horticultural Society was held Nov.
15 at the Manor Inn, Asheville, N. C,
where the society was royally entertained
by A. H. Malone, the proprietor, a fel-
low member.

Henry P. Corwith of Saluda was re-
elected president; Judge J. J. Gentry of
Asheville w-as elected vice-president and
Boiling Hall of Waynesville, secretary-
treasurer for the year of 1923. Col. R. P.
Johnston of Asheville, John S. Bowen of
Alta Pass, H. G. Waring of Pinehurst,
C. N. Malone of Asheville, John Ewbank
and Dr. J. S. Brown, both of Henderson-
ville, including the president and secre-
tary w-ere elected directors.

The principal horticultural interest in
the State being Apple growing, a west-
ern North Carolina Apple Association
was proposed, a full time expert, to be
employed to assist in all problems from
production to sale. A committee was ap-
pointed to make recommendations for ef-
fecting this organization at the next
meeting, a monthly meeting, Dee. 15.
Other plans for 1923 were laid.

A DOUBLE BUTTERFLY

With a deeper pink color that gradually fades into a tinge of gold

at the base of each petal.
It has twice the petalage of its parents and is more productive.

Beaumont, Texas

With the Fall season on, business is
steadily increasing, social affairs, flowers
for the sick, funeral orders, etc., having
brought the demand right up to the sup-
ply. With the late Fall, and no frost yet,
outside flowers remain in full bloom. The
'Mums, Bougainvilleas, Poinsettias, Roses,
Tuberoses, Pansies, Sweet Peas and oth-
ers are all flowering freely as I write
this.

The Park Greenhouse reports business
up to expectations. They have a fine lot
of Sweet Peas coming into bloom out-
doors. * * Mrs. Sonnemann is starting in
business. She has a small greenhouse
which shows a crop of 'Mums and she ex-
pects to specialize in A. Sprengeri and
plumosus. * * The Home Flower and Gift
Shop is another active institution in
Beaumont. * * At the Beaumont Floral
Greenhouses, Mr. Cline has a splendid
crop of 'Mums ready for Thanksgiving.
Mr. Trapp of the same place, in charge
of Roses, was anticipating a fine crop
at Christmas.

Mrs. Pittman is gradually retiring from
business, not having the time to give it
necessary attention. P. I. H.

Jacksonville, Fla.

Mills, the Florist, Inc., of this city an-
nounces that at a recent reorganization
meeting C. Leslie Whipp was elected
president of the concern and some
progressive expansion policies were for-
mulated. Mr. Whipp is president of the
Florida State Florists Association and a
recognized horticultural authority in this
section. This firm maintains, besides a
well known flower shop on West Duval
St., an extensive range of glass houses on
Eighth st., near Main. An additional
stock of both flowering plants and or-
namental shrubs is grown at Evergreen
Gardens, a nursery and supply establish-
ment near Evergreen Cemetery. The
firm also operates a modern seed store on
West Duval st., near the florist shop.

A newly projected activity will be the
headquarters of a landscape department
located in Avondale at the corner of
Edgewood ave. and Fitch st., to be known
as Avondale Gardens, where a full line of
plants used in landscape work will be
carried. It is expected that this enter-
prise will be open for inspection and
business about Dec. 10. This department
of the firm will be in charge of John
Clemens, who is well known in Jackson-

ville, having laid out a number of home
grounds in the vicinity, especially in
Avondale. This departure should not
only add considerably to the prestige of
Mills the Florist, Inc., but should pro-
mote in no small measure the horticul-
tural and aesthetic development of Jack-
sonville and its environment.

Trade Notes

Nov. 25. — The past week has been
a fairly good one with local florists and
as a whole, the trade is feeling quite sat-
isfied. Colder weather with temperatures
below freezing were registered this week
for the first time, and is resulting in
heavier firing for the growers, who to
date haven't used much coal. Fortunately,
the weather aided them until the coal
market slumped. Retail prices are still
from around $4.50 a ton on steam coal,
delivered, up to around $8.50 to $9 for
fine grades of mine run, but prices at the
mines have broken until screenings are
quoted as low as $1.25 a ton at some
mines and mine run of the best grade is
not over $4 a ton at mine.

The William Walker Co. is one of sev-
eral floral establishments on South Fourth
st. objecting to a plan of widening the
street. William Walker contested the
plan, claiming that he didn't wish to
lose the cost of remodeling, or business
driven elsewhere, while the building was
altered. So far, it seems that the city
administration and one or two property
owners, are the only friends of the move-
ment.

The Old Kentucky Flower Shop is a
new organization just established at 616
South Fifth st. Located in the art col-
ony, Henry Gessman and Phil A. Schaid,
formerly chief designer for the F. Walker
Co., are operating the new shop.

Edith V. Walker & Brother Co., on
Nov. 25 offered a one day special of pink
Roses at $1.50 a doz. for very attractive
flowers.

As a matter of court record, H. G.
Walker has affirmed ownership of the
F. Walker Co., 312 West Chestnut st.,
which is again owned by Mr. Walker indi-
vidually; he having taken over the busi-
ness again after being away from it for
two years or so.

Thanksgiving prospects in Louisville
look good. Football enthusiasts may not
be so active, as a fire on Nov. 20 destroyed
Eclipse Park, where the principal game

was to have been played and a much
smaller park has been pressed into serv-
ice. However, indications are for a good
day's business.

Louisville Retailers Organize

A movement was recently started
in Louisville whereby the Louisville Re-
tail Florists Association was formed.
■ Heretofore, there has been but one or-
\ ganization, that being the Kentucky So-
i ciety of Florists, which took in retailers
as well as wholesalers. The new organi-
zation does not bar retailers who whole-
sale surplus stock, but will not take in
the regular growers who furnish the trade,
nor will it take in any retailers across
the river, whereas the Kentucky Society
takes in the florists from the southern In-
diana towns. Officers of the new organi-
: zation are J. S. Miller, of Marrett & Mil-
ler, president; George E. Schulz, of the
Jacob Schulz Co., vice-president; Edith
! V. Walker of Edith V. Walker & Broth-
i er Co., treasurer; and E. G. Reimers, Jr.,
: of E. G. Reimers & Sons Co., secretary.
The association will meet on the second
Friday of each month. The members in-
clude the four houses above named, and
August Baumer, Fred Haupt, William
Walker Co., C. B. Thompson & Co., Hen-
ry Fuchs, Simon Pontrich and the Kunz-
man Floral Co. Several additional houses
will probably come in shortly.

One of the main efforts of the organi-
zation will be in connection with opera-
tion of a credit bureau for interchange of
information concerning the slow or non-
paying buyers of flowers, many of whom
for years have gone from one florist to
another and failed to pay their bills any-
where. This is a movement that many
of the retailers have been discussing for
years, but which was never properly
started before. There are many retail-
ers' problems that growers are not in-
terested in and the same thing applies
to the growers, who have coal, glass and
other problems of very little general in-
terest to retailers. Most of the retailers
will continue as members of both organi-
zations, as the plan has the full support
of the Kentucky Society.

The Kiwanis Club recently asked the
members of the newly formed florists club
to' be its guests at a regular luncheon of
the Kiwanis Club, of which J. S. Miller,
local florist, is a leading member.

An excellent luncheon and program of
music, furnished by an orchestra and sing-
ers from the Walnut Theatre, by cour-
tesy of Joseph Steurie, and two vocal se-
lections by Miss Marie Guterman, accom-

Club Doings

The Atlanta Florists and Horticul-
turists Club was delighted to have at a
banquet given in his honor at the Wine-
coff Hotel, Charles H. Grakelow, the well
known Philadelphia florist. Mr. Grake-
low is also prominent in the B. P. 0. E.,
holding office of Grand Esquire. He is in
our city to perfect the parade arrange-
ments of said order which will take place
during their convention in Atlanta next
Summer. It is planned that 35,000 will

participate in the demonstration, so we
can gather an idea of the magnitude of
Mr. Grakelow's mission. Having some
knowledge of Mr. Grakelow's ability as
an organizer, we are confident that our
city is to have a rare treat nest July.

Mr. Grakelow was introduced to the
club, or rather the club was introduced
to Mr. Grakelow, as Col. W. D. Thomp-
son, spokesman, put it, stating that Mr.
Grakelow was too well known to need any
introduction.

Mr. Grakelow gave us a fine talk on
the value of organization, cooperation, ad-
vertising and optimism, and brought home

the truth of the value of each with force-
ful illustrations of how they all have
worked in his own business.

Edward A. Wachendorff, president of
the club, responded to the address and
stated the club's wish that we might have
him again in the near future.

Violin and piano selections were ren-
dered by two artists from the Howard
Theatre, and Ernest Rogers made things
lively by his own famous songs as sung
by himself over the radiophone WSB of

New York's Latest in Roof Gardens

A Permanent Planting of Varied and Carefully
Selected Shrubs, Vines, Evergreens and Peren-
nials in Two Feet of Soil, a Hundred Feet or More
above the Heart of Manhatten

ROOF garden is a sorely misused term. Commonly
it conveys the thought of anything hut a real
"garden,'' suggesting rather an artificial, tem-
porary arrangement of straggly, plants and palms in
window boxes and tubs — and from that anything up
to an elaborate place of amusement, jazz, chorus
girls, and cabaret, with, perhaps, not even a Geranium
to represent the living plant kingdom.

But that there can be results to which the term
"roof garden" may fittingly be applied, has recently
been proved by John H. Troy, landscape gardener and
nurseryman of New Rochelle, N. Y., whose unique
and really remarkable achievement is pictured here-
with. "In 25 years of garden making," says Mr.
Troy, "I have laid out and developed a good many
plantings that happened to be located on roofs of
buildings ; but never before have I built, seen or
heard of anything that so thoroughly represents real
gardening under such circumstances, illustrates the
Use of such a variety of choice materials, and exem-
plifies the idea of permanence rather than mere effect
for the moment.'" And we can well believe him. For
the impression given by this layout of turf, shrubbery,
vines, trees, herbaceous perennials and annual bed-
ding plants 12 stories above the street in the center
of New York City, is that of a half-acre garden ad-
joining a country home in a suburban or countryside
environment.

The essentials of the story are, briefly, these : The
owner of the 90ft.xl04ft. piece of property at the
corner of Seventh ave. and 57th St. (across the latter
street from Carnegie Hall I decided to build thereon
a modern, 12-story apartment house, the top floor of
which he would reserve for his own residence. Even-
tually this led to the idea of stopping the actual build-
ing at the eleventh story and constructing a bungalow
on the roof for his use. Developing this thought he
began to feel the urge of his inherent love of flowers,
with the result that a garden of some sort was de-
manded as a setting for the bungalow. The final and
approved design was for a sumptuous, one-story home*
finished on the exterior in stone and stucco in perfect
Italian style, and, on the south or 57th St. side, giving

Looking south acros

View along the terrace, looking west toward the garden pro
Celosia can fce seen in the planting to the left. Note the Ital
on the stucco walls of the apartment

onto a year-' round garden about
35ft. square, with an adjoining
Sft. wide terrace some 32ft. long.

Almost it might be said that
this building was built (or at
least planned) from the roof
down, for the construction pro-
vided to support the garden called
for iron and steelwork 66 per cent
heavier than that ordinarily used
in a building of the same dimen-
sions ; in other words, the first
11 stories are actually capable of
sustaining three additional sto-
ries. Moreover as the interior ar-
rangement of the roof apartment
is different from the layout below,
the regular piping, drains, etc.,
stop at the eleventh floor and an
entirely distinct system is found
above.

In constructing the garden, the
entire surface of the roof to be
covered by it. and the outside
walls df the apartment to a height
of 2ft.. were waterproofed after
the manner of a swimming pool.
The surface had previously been
graded so as to drain to a single
outlet. Next drain tiles were laid.
side by side and" end to end, in a
solid layer over the whole pre-
pared surface to provide for both drainage and aera-
tion ; and upon this foundation the prepared soil was
Spread to a depth of 2ft. This meant in all about 100
wagon loads, which it took two full days to hoist
from the street and put in place. This was done in
June, so that the earth could settle and become firm
and level by the time the planting was begun in Sep
tember. The latter operation was completed in about
ten days, including the sodding of the turfed area,
the setting of the trees and shrubs, the supporting of
the vines, the planting of the Lilies, Dahlias, and
other herbaceous stock, etc.

As the illustrations show the garden is in two parts.
The first is the square expanse bounded on the north
and east by the walls of the dwelling, and on the
south and west by the heavy stone balustrade. In the
center of the north wall is a simple but beautiful
fountain ; in the east wall is the entrance to the home.
Stepping stones or flags set in the turf extend
from the doorway around to the left, through a gap
in the evergreen border planting,
and along the 32ft. terrace which,
with the slightly lower paved
court into which it leads, extends
along the entire south side of the
roof. Both garden and terrace
are bordered by an irregular
highly varied planting including a
wide range of choice broad-leaved
and coniferous evergreens, flower-
ing shrubs, perennials and other
materials as suggested by the list
given below. The plan is to have
a permanent background of hardy,
friendly evergreens, in front of
which will be flowering stock of
appropriate and seasonable na-
ture. By occasionally replacing
the temporary plantings, and by a
system of combinations of mate-
rials, it will be possible to secure,
for each of the seasons, a different
effect against the soft, harmonious
background of green and the
walls of the apartment. Even the
accompanying photographs fail
to reveal how successfully this
result was attained for the
Fall months of the present
year.

Among the most interesting- -
•for various reasons — of the mate-
rials used are the three handsome

per. Specimens of

s the garden (ard 57th st. . Ncte the Boxwccd edging, the

specimens of Retinispora sqitarrosa ( Veitchii i which
occupy important positions on either side of the foun-
tain and in the strategic southwest corner of the gar-
den (the latter tree sheltering an inviting, rustic, cir-
cular bench). These trees are probably 30 years old;
stand about 15ft. high ; average, probably, more than
Sft. in diameter ; and, when dug, balled and burlapped
for moving weighed about two tons apiece. The prob-
lem of getting them up on to the roof after their jour-
ney down from New Rochelle (one tree to a motor
truck) was no slight problem in engineering; this
thoroughly unusual operation of "raising evergreens"
with a block and tackle attracted crowds of specta-
tors, and the trees probably excited more comment
during the process than at any previous time in their
existence.

The garden presents to the technical horticulturist
some interesting questions for which definite answers
are not yet forthcoming, such as : How will the
evergreens stand (a) the strong sunlight to which
the roof will be exposed in Spring; (b) the cold
north winds that will probably sweep down from off
the Hudson in Winter; and (c) the soot and smoke of
which New York air. even at the twelfth-story level
is not entirely free? Will the drainage provided prove
wholly sufficient — and not excessive? — but these are
problems that will solve themselves in time. Mean-
while, Mr. Troy has to his credit and the owner has
to enjoy a real garden on a roof — a garden that is
beautiful to look at, carefully and tastefully planned,
carried out with full consideration of all fundamental
principles.

A list of the more important material used is as
follows :

Juniperus (columnaris, stricta, Virginia glauca, anil
others).

Thuja pyramidalis.

We try to live
up to our Motto :
VALUE
for VALUE

The Fall season is over and reports
are beginning to spread around about the
amount of business. Indications are that
it is not up to last year or the year be-
fore— but at the same time it is not far
behind them.

Landscape work in the South is quite
heavy this year. Perhaps 26c. Cotton is
responsible for increased prosperity there,
but whatever the reason the southern
towns are beating the North to it in
making themselves beautiful.

Altogether, nurserymen should be able
to enjoy a sincere Thanksgiving. Last
year's business — all together — was one of
the best in a long, long time.

Successful Tree Planting
Cooperation

The appended interesting letter from
Mrs. C. T. Smith, wife of the president
of the Smith Bros. Nursery Co. of Con-
cord, Ga., illustrates in splendid fash-
ion the way in which live nursery or-
ganizations can cooperate in the "Plant
Another Tree" campaign, not only in di-
rectly stimulating tree planting, but also
in inspiring local organizations of home
owners and plant lovers to do their part.

In a further letter to Sec'y J. A.
Young, Mrs. Smith states that in Concord
a house to house canvass was made that
resulted in the lining up of nearly every
family in town, and many outsiders. This
year the drive is being made in favor of
ornamentals, the idea being to carry out
a three-year planting program. Next year
shade trees along the streets will be the
subject of special effort, and it is believed
that by the third year the planting spirit
will be so thoroughly established that it
will thereafter be carried along by its
own momentum. Not only property own-
ing, individuals, but also schools and
churches are planting evergreens and de-
ciduous trees and shrubs as a result of
the local enthusiasm.

Mrs. Smith's letter to The Exchange
follows :
Editor, The Florists Exchange:

Arbor Day in Concord, Ga., means more
than ever before to the people living
here. The Concord Woman's Club put
on this year a tree planting campaign
and after some correspondence with Mr.
Young on his "Plan to Plant Another
Tree" decided to make the movement un-
animous. The members visited every
home in the city with the result that
they were able to say there is not a home
in Concord that has not added new trees
or shrubbery to its grounds. It is won-
derful what a personal interest the ladies

Among the Growers

A New Source of Domestic Spiraeas

How a New York Bulb House Has
Entered a New Field and Plans to
Put Hicksville, L. I., on the Horti-
cultural Map

In the light of articles recently pub-
lished in The Exchange, on experiences
with home grown Astilbes, considerable
interest attached to the writer's recent
trip out to the Spireea and Gladiolus fields
of F. Rynveld of New York (and, inci-
dentally, Holland and France). The genial
guides were Bernard Rynveld and W.
J. Guille of the firm, and the port of de-
barkation from the train was Hicksville,
L. I., a thriving rural town on the Hemp-
stead Plains, about 35 miles from New
York City. There we were met by R.
Wallstein, the other factor in the growing
operations and the owner of the land on
which they are being carried out. He
owns in all about 40 acres of land, level
as a billiard table, almost stoneless, and
delightfully easy to keep in shape, pro-
vided commonserjse is employed and an
occasional dry spell doesn't last too long.
Here he is growing on, for himself, a
gradually increasing acreage of Roses,
Cannas and various other ornamental
nursery materials both herbaceous and
shrubby. Until these crops become of
sufficient size to depend on, he is, like
many another farmer in the neighborhood,
growing a variety of vegetables for
market.

Such the host who steered us to a
waiting auto and whisked us out of the
village southward for about a mile to
his land, about 15 acres of which are now
given over to Rynveld products. (It is
not giving away secrets to say that it is
anticipated that this time next year there
will be not 15 but probably 25 acres under
cultivation to the' same main crops as
this year.) However, we started out with
the intention of writing about actual re-
suits of today, not anticipated results of
tomorrow."'

Of the 15 acres, about seven are devoted
— or were this past Summer — to Gladioli;
about half an acre was in Peonies, and
the remaining six or seven are producing
thrifty appearing Spiraeas. Here it may
be said that the Peonies will occupy con-
siderably more space another season, as
they are to be augmented by a large im-
portation for which arrangements have
been completed and which will include a
number of especially fine sorts that have
never been grown on. this side.

Of Gladioli, at least a score of named-
varieties and a number of Primulinus
hybrids made exceptionally fine growth

this past year, some of them from mother
bulbs (which gave fine increase), some
from young, or one-year-old bulbs, and
still others from seedling bulblets of a
single season's growth. Some of the lat-
ter two sorts (the variety Jewell in par-
ticular) yielded when dug anywhere from
two to four first size bulbs in addition to
several offsets. A fair sized crop will
be marketed this year (only the largest
and finest of the increase) and the re-
maining stock will go a long way toward
planting half of the 25 acres that are to
be handled next season.

Besides the Glads, in the field, 'there
are several coldframes full of new seed-
lings (from seed sown last Spring), some
of which have made over a foot of leaf
growth and developed bulblets the size of
large Peas.

Of Spiraea japonica there are, on the
half dozen acres, some 150,000 plants, all
developed from divisions planted early
last Spring, not long after they were
received from Holland, cut in small bits
and thoroughly washed in accordance with
F. H. B. requirements. All the plants
were started in simple coldframes last
March. The majority were set out in the
field directly from the frames as soon as
they had rooted — some time in May. But
about 20,000 3in. pots were prepared with
three rooted divisions in each, these being
carried along in the frames for a few
extra weeks. When set out they quickly
began to overtake the single plants, and
whereas a few of the latter from the
smallest divisions failed to grow, even
after they had rooted (largely on account
of unfavorable weather after their long,
hard trip) there is not a gap to be seen
in the closely planted 600ft. rows of the
combination specimens.

After a tussle, Mr. Wallstein, with
spade and considerable effort pulled loose
the plant shown in the accompanying pic-
ture. With its big mass of fibrous roots
the undisturbed ball of earth was about
as large as a man's head; the illustration
shows its size, even after most of the
soil had been shaken and knocked off.

As to vigor, color of foliage, stocky,
thrifty growth and general appearance,
the plants struck the writer as excellent,
and his judgment was supported by Mr.
Rynveld, who, having recently arrived
from Europe, said frankly that he had not
seen any better plants of their age any-
where in Holland or elsewhere during
his travels through the growing districts.
That there are forcers who also think
well of them is indicated by the fact that
shortly before my visit more than 16,000
of the 20,000 available plants of this ex-
tra size and quality had been sold for late
Fall delivery, then to be forced for next
Easter's retail market.

Of course the "proof of the pudding" in
this instance is the suitability of these
plants for Winter and early Spring forc-

A Home-Grown Astilbe

Note the splendid root mass on this plant,
grown in six months from cuttings started
three in a pot in a frame. The Rynveld crop
included some 20,000 such plants. "This shows
R. Wallstein on whose land and under whose
care the plants were grown

ing. As to this no one can say anything
definite until the trial is made. But as-
suming that right treatment and strong,
healthy plants to start with represent the
two mam and equally important factors
of successful Astilbe forcing, these plants
as seen growing in Hicksville stand as
good a chance as can well be conceived.
At any rate, the Rynveld organization is
well satisfied with the results obtained
so far, to the extent that this Winter will
mark the arrival of about 150,000 more
washed Astilbe clump divisions, to be
planted in coldframes next Spring and
given the same treatment that has proved
so efficacious this year. One year's results
seem, therefore, to have been most gratify-
ing, economical and practical. If they
are anything to go by, F. Rynveld & Sons
will have quite a little to do from now on
with putting Hicksville, N. Y., on the hor-
ticultural map as a plant growing center.

At last we are having a slight touch
of Winter, having had this morning about
one hour of real snowstorm*; the snow,
however, melted almost as fast as it fell.
It is to be hoped that this will finish the
outside flowers and revive business which
has remained in a semi-dormant state for
a long time. We do not look for any great
demand for Thanksgiving, as it is not as
generally observed here as in the northern
cities. Football seems to have the call,
and here few flowers are worn at these
games.

Prospects , seem bright for Christmas,
however, and we look for a good demand
if prices are not too high. There will be
plenty of- Poinsettias, Begonias, Cycla-
men (these being mostly snipped in) and

Lily of the Valley, which seems to grow
and do well without the intensive forcing
necessary in the North. Owing to the
long warm season very few Chrysanthe-
mums will be in the market. Little green
stuff is used, owing to the close proxim-
ity to the source of supply.

The Joy Flower Shop (no connection
with the Joys of Nashville) has started a
branch store at Americus, Ga. S. S.

in charge. * * * H. B. Kennicott of the

Business during last week was rather
poor for the time of the year. Monday
and Tuesday were dull, but business later
revived and made up for it. Although
the crop of early Chrysanthemums is
about over the supply exceeded the de-
mand and some stock was lost. The sup-
ply of Roses was abundant, but the sup-
ply of Carnations is still short although
it is increasing daily.

A few late variety Chrysanthemums are
already on the market. Neither whole-
sale nor retail prices have changed to any
noticeable degree during the past few
weeks.

Heating Queries

A. H. S., N. J.

— It is difficult to get at the exact
amount of exposed glass on your small
greenhouse, but we have assumed that
there are 2ft. of glass on the vertical
side; the glazing bars on the long side of
roof we have figured 9ft. long, and on the
short side of roof 3ft. long. If this is
correct, we figure you will require four
lines of 2in. pipe under the front bench
and under the end benches; also two lines
of 2in. pipe under the lattice walk, which
you show in your plan.

To pipe the house, I would advise
setting the boiler in a pit about 2ft. be-
low the greenhouse floor, take a 2in. flow
connection from boiler and carry it over-
head across top of entrance door to far
end of house. The highest point of this
overhead main should be directly over
the boiler, and should have an air vent
at highest point. From this high point,
grade the overhead 2in. main down to
far end of house with a down grade of
3in. in length of house, and there connect
to the 4 lines of 2in. pipe under the bench
and the two lines under the lattice walk.

You will also require a small expansion
tank, which can be connected to any part
of the piping, but the bottom of the tank
should Lie at least 1ft. above the highest
point of the radiation. The coils under
the benches and lattice walk should, of
course, grade down to the return connec-
tion at boiler, say, 4in. in length of coil.

The boiler you mention is rather small
for the wrork, but with close attention
may tide you through the season. The
amount of pipe herein mentioned is suffi-
cient for a temperature of 50 deg. when
mercury outside is at zero, and by placing
the boiler in a pit 2ft. below the level
of the greenhouse floor, as above men-
tioned, it will be unnecessary to use the
accelerated system. J. McArthur.

New York and New Jersey Plant
Growers Association

Going the Rounds

With the approach of Christmas, the
members of this association always de-
velop a desire to see what the other fel-
low is doing and, accordingly, two com-
mittees are appointed to map out the
programs, one for New York, the other
for New Jersey. Important features of
the programs are the feeding arrange-
ments, for it goes without saying that all
day tours cannot be carried out on empty
stomachs.

For Nov. 23 Long Island was chosen
and the committee of arrangements was:
President A. C. Schultheis (Spike), A. L.
Miller and A. M. Dauernheim. Eight
cars assembled at the Plaza, Long Island
City, soon after 9 a.m. and when the
crowd had arrived by devious routes, the
order to move was sounded and a few
minutes later the mob unloaded and in-
vaded the greenhouses of W. H. Siebrecht
of Astoria, where English, or is it Irish
Ivy appeared to be the main subject.
It was Ivies here, there and everywhere,
but we did find a couple of houses devoted
to Paperwhites and the same of Aucubas.
Outside were evidences of bulbs buried
under litter; bulbs are a great specialty of
this concern and it's doubtful whether
any other place of its size turns out so
many forced bulb flowers.

Next a rush was made to H. Langen,
nearby; we found him busy potting bulbs,
but one feature of the place was the house
of Rubbers, Ficus elastica, an old time
specialty of this concern.

All aboard again in five minutes and
then helter skelter to College Point where
Haas & Sons were found with several
houses of Stevia almost ready; several
houses of Seidewitz, Rager and other
'Mums and a big assortment of Cherries
and Ericas. No time to stay long, for
the skipper declared we were behind time
so we piled aboard again and fled away
to the big establishment of Anton Schul-
theis. We in the open cars by this time
began to realize it was cold. A mean
N. W. wind was blowing, although the
thermometers all declared it was around
40 deg. Actually, I believe the ther-
mometers were in conspiracy; it was near
zero according to my way of thinking, al-
though my chauffeur, "Spike" himself,
with his abundance of avoirdupois found
nothing amiss. I understand that as a
youth, Anton, Jr., was just a "lath" and
thereby came to be known as "Spike,"
which name has stuck, although one
scribe has since described him as the sun-
shine baby.

The College Point outfit is one of the
largest pot plant establishments in the
East and, at this time, it is pretty full
up with Poinsettias and Ericas, the lat-
ter in several varieties, although melan-
thera is the main feature. Big specimens
a yard or more tall, were to be seen by
the house full. Just as make weight, a
house of Oranges in great shape and a
few thousands of Cherries are on hand
while Genistas for later use were also
noted. One need only state that Anton
Schultheis will be able to take care of
any normal Christmas demand for Poin-
settias, from large to small, and the same
applies to Ericas.

Louis Dupuy & Son, Whitestone, are
not far away and thither we hiked to see
a wonderfully fine lot of Wilcox 'Mums,
only about lain, tall; several houses of
very good Cyclamen just coming into
flower, enormous quantities of Poinsettias
and Ericas, the latter in giant sizes es-
pecially, and a great lot of Oranges. A
special attraction here was an oil burner
fitted experimentally to one of the boil-
ers. It appeared to be going well, but
being electrically driven, the visitors were
dubious. However, at the new range
nearly, a battery of three Hitehins boil-
ers were at work, these being fitted with
another pattern burner which can be driv-
en either by steam or compressed air.
A small steam boiler alongside was started
to demonstrate the working of the out-
fit. The air is compressed by a machine,
electrically driven, but should the "juice"
fail, the steam boiler can get to work in
quick time and carry on. So far as
could be seen, the air and steam de-
veloped the same oil flame. The oil used
is the ordinary thin fuel oil, costing 7c.
a gallon, and it requires no heating to
kee|> it fluid as it does not freeze at less
than 20 below zero. In this case it can-

not be affected, as the 8000 gallon tank
is sunk in the ground and is covered by
the corridor shed.

J. M. Keller Co., nearby, was. the next
call and here we found Petrick Azaleas
opening up in fine shape. Plenty of buds
to ensure an excellent show for Christ-
mas. Cherries, too, were good as usual
and Marguerites were developing fast.
The Oranges were particularly heavy in
fruit. Poinsettias also were both numer-
ous and good.

Dreyer Bros., Beechurst, was the next
order and as usual this firm had a won-
derfully fine lot of Dracaena massangeana.
Boston ferns were very good while Ericas,
Poinsettias, the latter less forward than
some, and Oranges were all strong fea-
tures. The last named were of moderate
size, but just weighted down with fruit.

Off again until we reached Elmhurst
w-here W. Spiwak hangs out. By way
of a change, he is devoting most of his
space to Boston ferns, but he has a
house or two of Paperwhites almost
ready to cut and a wonderfully even lot
of formosum Lilies which promise an
early crop.

Everyone by this time was clamoring
for something to eat so the morning pro-
gram was cut and we sailed away to A.
L. Miller's, Jamaica. Here we found a
couple of houses still filled with 'Mums
in full cut; house after house of Poin-
settias of the usual A. L. Miller brand;
several houses of Begonia Melior; twro or
three houses of Ericas, including one de-
voted to big specimens; a batch of the
now rarely seen Acalypha Sanderii; lots
of ferns, and no end of Crotons of vari-
ous sizes and types. By the time we had
looked around lunch was announced and
we accordingly filed into the new, brick
tool house which was laid out to accom-
modate our party, now some 32 souls.
The new building, by the way, has a fine
bulb cellar beneath it and a large store
up above. It also contains splendidly
fitted toilets and shower bath, for both
men and women.

A. L. Miller had out the flags at the
gate and he himself was there to greet
us. He explained his absence from the
party as due to the fact that he had to
stay at home to cook the lunch. We
thought as wre looked over the hot dogs,
ham, salads, etc., on the table, that he
had done pretty well and thought so more,
when from the depths issued home made
grape juice and malt brew which appar-
ently were just as Nature decided. But
the end was not yet, for just when every
one had more or less filled up, in came a
real live chef, followed by two satellites,
each bearing a roast sucking pig. Grown
on the home farm, my boys, announced the
jovial Abe and they've got to be eaten.
Groans issued from the lips of many, even
the police captain who was present as a
guest.

A brace of pigs, probably 12 lbs. apiece,
filled up to the neck with meat stuffing.
Talk about the King's blackbird pie. The
chef on his side table, dissected and bi-
sected the animals while the waiters ran
around with dishes loaded with portions,
each large enough for a "buck navvy's"
dinner. Suffice to say we didn't eat the
heads or the lemons, and only a few could
venture to wind up with home made
pumpkin pie.

After such a feast it was some effort
for "Spike" to propose a hearty vote of
thanks to Mr. Miller, but we all under-
stood and helped him out.

We left with a cheer and rushed away
to Middle Village where we stopped to
have a look at Fred Marquardt's Poinset-
tias, Primula obconica and other lines.
From thence we romped away to J. Lappe
of Maspeth, where we found every house
filled with 'Mums, large and small in great
variety. Outdoors we observed great
blocks of Pinks, Pansies, Sedums, etc.,
which nourish amazingly on this high
ground.

Getting toward Brooklyn again, we
looked up Louis Schmutz, who, despite his
advanced age, was ready to show us his
several houses filled with the best lot of
Cyclamen seen so far. Wonderfully fine
plants up to 15in. across, but rather late
as to flowering, Cherries and Cinerarias
were also prominent. A short run and
we were at Flatbush looking over Peter
Wagner's Poinsettias, ferns, etc., and from
thence we scaled the ash heaps to reach
John Scott's range where Poinsettias were
both numerous and good. Scottii ferns,
of course, were abundant and a specially
fine lot of Cinerarias well on the way
toward flowering, were also notable.

The last call was at J. Ebb Weir Co.'s
place at Fort Hamilton ave. Here we
met the best house of Cyclamen of the
day. Plants of large size and mostly car-
rying six or more flowers of extra fine
quality. All grown from domestic seed
and so good that everyone gave friend
Lansman, the grower, a^pat on the back
It is giving away no secret to state that
the strain grown is Lehnig & Winnefelds,
one of the few firms in the country which
has long specialized in Cyclamen seed se-
lection. Poinsettias here also deserve the
XXX mark, while the Cherries and
Ericas are good. The three new houses
just completed will be of great value to
this firm which the last twro years or
so has gone more strongly into pot
plants. Carnations have been cut out en-
tirely. By the time we had looked around
it was dark. Lots of things happen in
the dark, but I may mention that in or-
der to record our visit in the firm's regis-
ter with an ink that was never made by
Waterman, nor with water, we did enter
the lighted office.

Acting according to program, we again
boarded the cars and made the long run
to Coney Island, stopping on the way to
have a squint at the new board walk,
which, according to hearsay, has that of
Atlantic City beaten a mile. We might
have stayed longer had it been Summer,
but with a razor edged wind coming off
the sea, it was a case of hop, skip and a
jump.

Louis Stauch, the famous restaurateur,
was prepared for us and served up an ex-
cellent supper. We got through the oys-
ters, soup and beef cutlets in good order,
but when the chicken came along the
memories of young pigs were too strong.
Even the "baby" couldn't spring another
hole in his belt and so it happened that
with many it was impossible to bring
roast pork and roast chicken together.
The lapse of three hours or so wouldn't
permit two such meals; at least, not with
average people.

The band came up and endeavored to
put some pep into us by playing "Mother
Maerea;" did the leader see anything
green^ about us, I wonder? Anyway, we
did find breath to join in with Annie
Rooney and similar ditties of two decades
ago, before we parted at 8.30 p.m. Was
it a good day? You bet it was. What
could you expect with a party made up
of A. C. Schultheis, A. M. Dauernheim,
H. Lansman, W. Scott, Roman J. Irwin,
John Canning, two specially invited
guests; H. Bauman, Sr. and Jr.; H.
Schuntz, J. Fresser, Henry Schmitz, Julius
Roehrs, Fred Muntz of A. L. Miller's,
W. Spiwak, F. Hansen and others of the
ilk. The New Jersey trip takes place on
Friday after Thanksgiving Day. W.

New Haven Merchants Lose $100,000

As was predicted the merchants
of our city sustained a heavy loss on the
day of the Yale-Harvard football game
as a result of the foolish traffic regula-
tions which diverted the outoftown auto-
mobiles around the outskirts of the city
to the Yale Bowl, thus preventing a large
percentage of the 70.000 attendants at
the game from buying locally food, flow-
ers, blankets and many other necessities
for their comfort and enjoyment.

Many visitors applied to private resi-
dences in tlie vicinity of the Bowl ask-
ing if they could buy something to eat.
Others sought to buy, borrow, or rent
some kind of a blanket, as the day was
crisp and a strong wind was blowing. In
many instances the requests were cheer-
fully granted by the residents.

Now what has this to do with the flo-
rist business? Just this: We took care-
ful note of the number of ladies wearing
Violets and other flowers and it is a
conservative estimate that they made up
15 per cent of the crowd or some 11.400
people, representing at an average of $2
per bunch of Violets, $22,400. Where did
they get them? Not from our local flo-
rists surely for these only received about
10 per cent of that amount. Estimate a
similar loss to our restaurants, etc., on
this basis and the above figure for the
total loss is conservative enough.

It is true that Violets were nearly sold
out. but this was due to the foresight of
the florists in not stocking up too heav-
ily. The prevailing price was $4 per
100.

Red Chrysanthemums were favorites
with the Harvard visitors and the supply
was soon exhausted.

Chrysanthemums were not allowed to
be brought into Connecticut from Massa-
chusetts as a precautionary measure
against the spreading of the Corn borer.

Referring to the recent news note in
the dailies about a $50,000 Strawberry
plant, one of our Dahlia growers won-
ders whether he will ever be able to pro-
duce a plant that will fetch $50,000. He
says if he can, he will pay his bibs and
quit.

The next meeting of the New Haven
County Horticultural Society will b*>
held at City Hall. Dec. 12. As this will
be the annual election night a full at-
tendance is expected.

The secretary of the American Dahlia
Society is sending out a letter to growers
and dealers asking them not to send out
any stock that shows the least indica-
tion of the so-called "stunted disease,"
and thus cooperate in an effort to stamp
it out.

The January Dahlia Bulletin will be
issued promptly on time and to help
make it a particularly interesting num-
ber, correspondence is invited from grow-
ers. They should make their articles of
general interest, however, to have them
available.

Trade Notes

Nov. 26. — Typical November weath-
er has set in. The temperature is hover-
ing around 30 deg. and the ground is cov-
ered with light snow. Regular Thanks-
giving weather. From one season to an-
other, florists cannot plan much on late
Fall work out of doors, conditions varying
so much. Folks with good memories say
that a year ago the ground was frozen
quite hard and covered with a heavy fall
of snow. Today, a few belated buyers
are planting their bulbs without difficulty.

Pansy growers are covering their Pansy
beds for the Winter; the florists are
cleaning up what bulbs they have left, get-
ting them into pots, flats or the ground
for Winter or Spring blooming.

Cut flowers and potted plants are in
good demand, and of late, the florists have
had a large number of funeral orders to
take care of. Thanksgiving sales we hope
will be encouraged, and during the coining
month the greater part of the holiday
stock ought to be disposed of and benches
cleaned for the growing on of early and
late Spring stock.

L. P. Barbour, who recently started a
florist establishment at Belfast, Me., re-
ports a good sale of bulbs for this Fall,
and says the public has responded very
well, considering the short time he has
been in business. He also 6tates that he
has built a greenhouse this Fall and is
ready to fill the benches with stock for
the coming holiday trade. Belfast people
have expressed to the writer that a live
wire florist was needed in Belfast, for
hundreds of dollars worth of plants and
cut flowers were bought outside of the
city annually.

A. E. Stantial of Belfast, a well known
market gardener, has erected a King ,
house and plans to grow pot plants for
Spring sale, along with his market gardem
work. Mr. Stantial is located on the
Bangor-Belfast road, while Mr. Barbour's
establishment is on the Belfast-Rockland
road, in the opposite part of the city.

John T. Kelleher, Bangor florist, was
defeated in a ward caucus this week by
E. Earle Herrick for the honors of nomi-
nation for Alderman from Ward 3.

Frank T. Oak, assistant ti-easurer of the
Bangor Savings Bank, and a prominent
citizen of Bangor, died suddenly Thurs-
day morning at his home, 350 Hammond
st., after two days' illness. He was well
known throughout the State. Many beau-
tiful floral pieces were received from his
wide businesa and social acquaintances.

Scranton (Pa.) Flower Show

Through a lapse of memory on the part
of the human who wrote the sketch of
our flowrer show, the attractive booth of
Davis & Fine of Wilkes-Barre was not
mentioned. This surely was unintentional,
as the Scranton Florists Club has nothing
but the very best of wishes for the two
enterprising young men who have recently
purchased this business. Both Mr. Gal-
lagher and Mr. Stevick are members of
our club, thoroughly live wires, and we
see no reason why they should not make
a great success in their line. E. G.

Richard Vincent, Jr. in Florida

A brief note dated Nov. 25, bearing the postmark
Tampa, Fla., indicates that, despite his SO years,
Richard Vincent, Jr., is actively moving as usual. He
writes : We are on our last leg of our trip ; will work
up toward Jacksonville on Monday returning by boat
from there via Savannah, Ga., on Wednesday. The dis-
play of Poinsettias and Camellias at Savannah is
wonderful and we have greatly enjoyed the masses
of flowers everywhere.

A heartily appreciated letter of thanks for our last
week's good wishes to "Uncle Joe" has been received
from his daughter, Miss Ann R. Cook. From it, how-
ever, we learn with distress that while on his way
to Florida Mr. Cook was rather severely injured in a
collision on the Seaboard Air Line. He reached
Miami, we understand, some twelve hours late, badly
bruised, much shaken up, and suffering considerably,
but latest reports are that he is resting comfortably.
We are sure that Exchange readers will join with
us in expressing our sympathy and. in wishing Mr.
Cook a speedy and safe recovery.

We like to talk about the extensive glass house
areas represented in the American horticultural indus-
try, and their value, but the Dean of York, speaking
at Hull, Eng., recently estimated that the glass (win-
dows) in the York Minsiter, or chapel, might well be
valued at £73,000,000 or something more than $350,-
000,000! His estimate was based on the fact that
a fragment of ancient stained glass 30in.x31in. simi-
lar to that in the chapel, was recently sold in New
York for nearly $75,000 — which leads us to remark,
bromidically, that there is glass — and glass.

Pleasing, as they do, the senses of sight and smell,
flowers do really all that can fairly be expected of
these (though this does not take account of their
grateful influence on the deeper hidden sentimental
sensibilities). But up in Buffalo, N. Y., a progressive
lady proprietor of a popular flower shop gives her
patrons still more generous measure by holding in-
formal evening musicales in the flower decked confines
of her store on certain evenings. And sometimes she
adds motion pictures, too. Verily, there are more
ways than one to attract customers — and then capi-
talize on them.

Cincinnati wholesale houses, it is reported, are not
going to handle Holly this year, but will leave the
bothersome material to the produce men. In view of
the chances of loss, dissatisfaction, etc., no one can
blame them— but the situation may be made more
difficult than ever for the retailers who, however
much bother they find it, usually have to handle some
Holly to meet the imperative demands of their steady
customers. When the extent of their trade permits,
direct ordering from reliable growers would seem a
wiser plan than dependence on the produce men who
may not always handle the stock in accordance with
the needs, preferences and customs of the florist
trade.

Why Thanksgiving Day ?

Iu the lives of its founders, Thanksgiving Day
marked the close of an eventful year of strenuous
effort. It was an occasion when oue could fittingly
sit back and review the work of the past seasons, ap-
praise the fruits of one's effort, and express gratitude
for the bountiful harvest that would provide susten-
ance and comfort during the dreary, unproductive
Winter months to come.

Today, and more especially in the lives of those of
us who take pride and satisfaction in our member-
ship in the floricultural craft, Thanksgiving Day ex-
emplifies in large measure the same spirit. But also,
in our business, it marks with even greater emphasis
the beginning of a new season of productive activity
and profitable trade. With the facilities afforded us
by modern inventive genius, Winter is no longer a
season of unproductive quietude. Within our green-
houses growth continues with unabated vigor, and our
products, in the form of soul delightiug blooms, con-
tinue to accumulate and cheer the lives of our people
until the suns of another Spring waken into life the
outdoor gardens.

For us, therefore, Thanksgiving Day sounds a note
not only of appreciation of past blessings, but also of
hopeful anticipation of future possibilities. For what
we have done and received, let us indeed be glad ; but
for what we can yet accomplish, for what it may be
yet given us to do, in fruitful industry, in cooperation
and in human service —

Let Us Be Thankful !

, LI£ not "Private Gardener" Then What ?

One of those perennial subjects of discussion came
up again at a recent meeting of the Toronto Garden-
ers and Florists Association, when it was suggested
that the use of the term "private gardeners" be dis-
couraged. Of course this is a matter that is wholly
"up to" the gardeners themselves, but it has seemed
to us at times as though some more satisfactory term
might be chosen to distinguish these workers from
the vegetable growers or "market gardeners," since
that is probably the only confusion to be avoided.

We realize that when it comes to a question of
group names, "Ornamental Horticulturists," as used
within our own trade circles, isn't all that it might
be. So there is something for all of us to think about
and to discuss whenever opportunity offers.

A Canadian Association of Nurserymen

Within a week, if plans and promises go not astray,
Canada will have given birth to a National Associa-
tion of Nurserymen, thereby passing another mile-
stone in her march along the highway of horticultural
progress. It is not, after all, the number of workers
in any industry, nor the volume of their business,
individually or collectively, that measures the ulti-
mate attainments of that industry today. A final and
highly important factor is the degree to which the
workers in that industry are organized, the extent
to which they work along a common course for mutual
benefit, and the betterment of their commercial inter-
ests. We extend hearty greetings and sincere en-
couragement to the nurserymen of Canada in their
forward looking efforts and wish them all success.

Our Trade Honors Its Own

To the best of our knowledge no horticulturist, as
such, has ever been elected to the nation's "Hall of
Fame." This does not mean, however, that the note-
worthy and deserving figures in the field are going
unrecognized. There are, already, the honor medal
of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, the five
year and annual awards of the S. A. F. and probably
others, no less coveted within their spheres even if
less generally known. And now, thanks to J. E. Car-
ter, an amateur horticulturist of Guelph, Ont. — a true
patron of horticulture if we may call him so — Canada
is to have her own horticultural Medal of Honor, to
be awarded upon recommendation of the Dominion
Horticultural Council each Spring. Such a medal —
the symbol of the .regard and admiration of one's
fellow workers — is the sort of reward that makes
one's life and work worth while; the more so that it
cannot be won by definite effort and preconceived
plan, but is a recognition of underlying ability, indus-
try, integrity and willingness to serve that mark a
man for what he really is in the sight of all mankind.

American Dahlia Society

Secretary Wm. J. Rathgeber, 198 Norton St., New
Haven, Conn., announces that the January Bulletin
is now under way. Would-be advertisers are urged
not to delay sending in their copy.

He is also looking to Dahlia fanciers to send in
brief notes on Dahlias; no topic is taboo if it relates
to Dahlias, but the briefer the better.

That Camphor Scale Quarantine

Preliminary deductions from the Camphor sealel
quarantine hearing recently held in Washington were
to the effect that the precautionary efforts of the Gulf
States affected were apparently sufficient to make
unnecessary any Federal or generally drastic restric-
tion. For the sake of the goodly number of persons
who are directly interested iu Rubber Plants and
Aspidistras, either as growers, dealers, or purchasers,
it is to be hoped that this really proves to be the case.
As a matter of fact two points occur to us either of
which might make any general quarantine of Ala-
bama, Louisiana and Mississippi unfair to the above
interests. One is the question whether Rubber Plants
and Aspidistras are, themselves, hosts and definite
carriers of the scale ; and the second is, would the
scale constitute a danger to horticulture in Northern
localities having cold Winters. That is, could not
plants, apparently uninfected, be shipped North with
impunity (in bond, if necessary) even from infested
districts, just as, we believe, livestock from a cattle
tick country can be shipped into a region where the
tick cannot survive, even though movement into other,
warm localities, is prohibited?

Makes No Noise, Maybe, But

Advertising men quote with satisfaction a little
four line jingle that emphasizes the supposedly in-
evitable fact that

"The wheel that does the squeaking
Is the one that gets the grease."

It must not, however, be assumed from this that
the silent wheels are not contributing their bit to the
cause of progress. Take flower growing establish-
ments, for instance. Within the limits of Greater
New York are concerns — not a few, but many of them
— whose square feet of greenhouses are measured by
the hundreds of thousands, and whose output is
valued at millions of dollars each year. Yet they go
all unnoticed and even unknown by the rest of the
country because the active demand for their stock
right in their home territory (which includes the
metropolis) is so great that they find it wholly unnec-
essary to reach out for more business or seek, by
publicity means, a wider trade acquaintanceship.

Verily, we believe that the florist-grower visitor,
no matter whence he hails, can be shown develop-
ments within his own industry in and around the city
of New York that will open his eyes to unrealized
possibilities of commercial floriculture.

American Horticultural Society

This recently organized body is conducting an ener-
getic campaign for charter members, the classes of
membership offered being (1) regular or active, dues
$3 a year; (2) associate, for persons under 18 years
of age, dues $1 a year; (3) life, dues a single pay-
ment of $100; (4) patrons, upon contributing $200
or more.

The summarizing purpose of the society is "to pro-
mote horticulture in all its branches, in hearty co-
operation with other horticultural agencies." As
funds become available it plans to hold flower, fruit
and vegetable exhibitions, issue publications and
maintain best gardens. It will consider the practi-
cability of establishing a system of registration of
varietal names and will promote the interests of bo-
tanical gardens, and lend its influence to the estab-
lishment of the much needed National Botanical Gar-
den.

The officers, as now announced, are : President,
A. F. Woods, College Park, Md. ; first vice-president,
Louis Hartle, Washington and Gunston Hall. Va. :
second vice-president, T. F. Pappe, Riverdale, Md. ;
secretary, D. Lumsden, 530 Cedar St., Takoma Park,
D. C. ; treasurer, Wm. F. Gude. Washington. Mail
applications for membership to the secretary.

The Florists Exchange

1491

Colorado Moving

Colorado has fallen into line with many other
States through the formation of a State Florists Asso-
ciation. The occasion of the Denver Show recorded
elsewhere brought about the new organization and
also the formation of a Denver F. T. D. A. unit.

The late recording of these events is due to unusual
delav in the mails.

The Glassless Greenhouse

Everything points to the possibility of useful, trans
parent structures for temporary or permanent use at
a modest cost compared with even the cheapest of
cheap glasshouses. There. are none of these by the
way, and this fact prompted Colle Bros, to look
around for means to raise a crop of late Chrysanthe-
mums.

The experiment is not complete, but as related last
week it would appear that a crack proof material is
on the road to perfection.

North Carolina Horticultural Society

The annual meeting of this society was held at the
Manor Hotel, Asheville, N. C, on Nov. 15. The busi-
ness session opened at 11.30 a.m. with reports of
officers and committees on grading, sorting and sell-
ing. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as
follows : President, Henry P. Corwith, Saluda ; vice-
president, J. J. Gentry ; secretary-treasurer, Boiling
Hall, Waynesville.

It was decided to employ a paid secretary and
field man for the ensuing year; to hold monthly
meetings, and generally to push the horticultural in-
terests of the State. Resolutions of regret were
passed upon the death of W. T. Lindsay, Tryon,
N. C, a pioneer Grape grower.

At 1 p.m. a fine dinner was served, the society being
the guests of A. H. Malone, manager of the Manor
Hotel, but also an enthusiastic orchardist, owning
5000 trees of the leading varieties.

The society's next meeting will be held at the
Merchants Club in Asheville on Dec. 15.

H. P. C.

E. J. McCallum certainly has the knack of telling
his experiences in such a way as to create a striking
picture of the environment in which they take place.
His talk on personal impressions of Germany, as
given before the Cleveland Florists Club and as pub-
lished elsewhere in this issue, may not deal at any
great length with horticulture, but it is good read-
ing for all that and we feel sure it will be enjoyed
by Exchange subscribers, both those who know Mr.
Galium and those who do not.

In connection with some of Mr. McCallum's com-
ments, it is interesting to observe in the daily papers
that prohibition sentiments are said to be making
rapid progress in Germany. One reason is said to
be the poor quality of the beer now available, which
rather gives developments the appearance of making
a virtue of necessity. On the other hand, at a recent
trial vote in Osnabruck, the vote on prohibition was
5700 men and 6700 women in favor, with less than
1000 against the movement.

We have called the attention of the chairman of the
Publicity Committee of the S. A. F. and O. H. to a
recent cartoon which we found on our desk one day
last week. It is headed "Pantomime" and consists of
four small single column pictures. Scenes 1 and 2
depict "Evening." Scene one, the lover brings his
lady a beautiful bunch of Roses; scene two, the lady
is arranging the Roses in a vase in her boudoir. The
two lower sketches are entitled "Morning." Scene 3
shows the lady in her kimono going to view her
Roses, and standing aghast because the Roses are
practically dissolved and the petals lie scattered all
over the table. Scene 4, the same lady, still in her
kimono, lifts the cover of the ashcan and depositing
the relics of the Roses therein. .

Many of our readers may think, "Oh, this is a small
matter. The best thing is to pass it over and say
nothing." It is more serious than that, however
The florist has long been made the butt of the car-
toonist, because of the supposedly great prices he
charges for his wares and his immense profits. Now
this present cartoon adds to past injuries by a demon'
stration that his Roses don't keep.

Unless he takes steps to put an end to this sort of
thing he will remain constantly exposed, as in this
case, to the irresponsible and mischief working pen
of irresponsible sketch artists. We have seen many
cartoons belittling the florist, but seldom have we
come across one which is so deeply insulting and so
entirely unmerited.

Robert H. C. Bard

Robert H. C. Bard, aged 50, the well-known Syra-
cuse (N. Y.) florist, died at. his home, 400 West Castle
St., Nov. 22, after a brief illness. Stricken with a
paralytic stroke, only a week before, his condition
from that time on continued to grow gradually worse.

"Bob" Bard, as he was affectionately known to the
local fraternity, was an old line gardener and had a
reputation for great horticultural knowledge. He was

The late Eugene J. G. Dailledouze

a widely known fraternal man. having been a mem-
ber of virtually every Masonic body and the Eagles
and Elks, as well as the New York Florists Club and
S. A. F. and O. H. Mr. Bard was born in England.
Coming to this city from Rochester, 30 years ago, he
started to work in the florist shop of P. R. Quinlan.
He was a member of the firm of Bard & Davis of
Bryant and Wilbur aves. for 17 years. Eight years
ago he started his own shop at 103 West Jefferson st.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Nettie Hope
Hudson Bard, and one son, George. .

Eugene J. G. Dailledouze

The florist trade the wide country over will read
with regret our chronicle of the death on Nov. 25 of
Eugene J. G. Dailledouze of Lenox rd. and Troy ave.,
Brooklyn, N. Y. He was the son of Jean Dailledouze,
who came to this country' from Switzerland in the
early 50's of the last century and who became the sen-
ior member of the firm of Dailledouze, Zeller & Gard,
the original florists and nurservmen of Flatbush,
N. Y.

Eugene Dailledouze had just passed his 64th birth-
day, having been born on Oct. 22, 1S58. He had been
a resident of Flatbush (now part of Brooklyn Bor-
ough) all his life. In 1S72 the firm with which his
father was connected dissolved, and Eugene entered
the business witli his father. After the latter's death
in 1882. this business was carried on by his mother
and himself, his twin brothers later joining the firm.
In 1892 the three brothers formed a partnership and
continued together until 1907, when Eugene bought
out the interests of Paul and Henry, although he con-
tinued the firm name of Dailledouze Bros.

Mr. Dailledouze's death was caused by a cancer
from which he had suffered for over a year. His
brother Paul died but a few short weeks ago. Eugene
Dailledouze is survived by his widow, who was Miss
Wilhelmina A. Ludwig of Brooklyn, who now man-
ages the business, assisted by her son John, two sis-
ters and a brother. The funeral services were held
at the deceased's late residence, Monday, Nov. 27, in-
terment having been made in Greenwood Cemetery.

The history of this house is of more than ordinary

interest for the reason that not only was it among
the first of American florist firms, but also on account
of its connection with the Carnation industry, the
rise in interest in that flower dating from the time
when the original firm of Dailledouze, Zeller & Gard
obtained seed of the perpetual flowering strain of Car-
nations from a concern in Lyons, Prance.

The perpetual flowering race of Carnations which
today has been brought to its highest rate of perfec-
tion by American growers, and which is generally re-
garded as the "American" Carnation, really originated
in France, and was grown in that country from its
origin in 1840 until about the year 1856, before it
was introduced to America. While credit is given
to a native of France for importing this Carnation
into this country about the year 1S52. it was about
the year 1856 that the firm of Dailledouze. Zeller &
Gard imported plants of La PuritS, a rose colored va-
riety, also Mont Blanc and Edwardsii, white, and Man-
teaux Royal, a red and white variegated. These were
used for crossing, and the first variety produced in
America, about the year 1858, proved to be a great
improvement on existing varieties. It was named
"Mrs. DeGraw" and, with another variety named
"Flatbush," was disseminated by the above firm about
1S64.

The firm with which Eugene's father was identified
was among the first to begin the work of cross breed-
ing Carnations in America, and as a result, from time
to time, notable and special varieties were introduced.
In 1872 the Dailledouze firm issued a catalog listing
54 varieties.

Dailledouze Bros, continued this good work inaugu-
rated by their father, and throughout their career
Eugene and his brothers not only grew fine stock, but
also won many prizes and medals, and did much
toward the improvement of the particular flowers in
which they were interested. Two in particular, a
French type of branching Wallflower and Giant Mig-
nonette, were grown by this firm for years, the stock
of the former, so far as we know, being entirely in
their own hands. Of the many Carnations introduced
in the time of Dailledouze Bros., probably Delight,
Prosperity and Enchantress Supreme were the most
notable.

Among the introductions of Carnations by Daille-
douze Bros, were Delight and Prosperity (known as
No. 666) in 1900, both of which varieties became
noted in the market. In 1901 Alice Roosevelt was-
introduced: in 1902, Fragrance; in 1905, Crimson
Glow ; in 1906, Welcome ; in 1914, Enchantress Su-
preme. This latter, with Prosperity, is still occasion-
■ ally seen- on the market.

Eugene Dailledouze was a man of sterling charac-
ter, loved and respected by all. Visitors were always
welcome — and in the old days there was never a
lack of visitors, fellow florists, passing through the-
greenhouses. These were kept with spotless cleanli-
ness, so much so that a weed in the beds or a stray
leaf on the walks was never visible.

The friendship between the three brothers was an
ideal one. Paul and Henry looked up to Eugene, the
elder brother, while the affection and unity between
the twins were remarkable — in their every action they
moved and thought as one. Paul and Henry were-
bachelors. After their retirement they traveled con-
siderably, both in this country and abroad. On re-
turning from their travels, one of their favorite oc-
cupations was to go to work in the greenhouses and
help out their brother.

Eugene Dailledouze was a member and prominent
worker in many florists organizations, holding a life
membership in the S. A. F. & O. H., being president
of the New York Cut Flower Co., and a member of"
the New York Florists Club, and the American Rose,
Carnation, Chrysanthemum and Orchid Societies.

As a judge at the flower shows he was in univer-
sal request, and his services as an expert were par-
ticularly valued at the Chrysanthemum shows.

Among prominent men in attendance at the funeral
services were : Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Traendly,
F. R. Pierson, Paul Pierson, Joseph Millang, Mr. and
Mrs. Alfred Zeller. Louis Schmutz (who was foreman
for Dailledouze Bros. 51 years ago), Mrs. Louis
Schmutz and son Harry, Henry Hentz. Jr., A. Nash,
E. G. Asmus, Julius Chevalley, Fremont Abrams,.
A. H. Langjahr, George Peters and Sons, A. F. Faulk-
ner, Henry Baylis. John Pritchard, Mrs. D. Y. Melli&
and family, Mr. Rodman of Rodman & Sons, Henry
Hession's Sons, A. Demeusey, daughter and son, C. H.
Totty, Wm. H. Duckham and Arthur Herrington. All
of the employees of Dailledouze Bros, were present.

There were a large number of extraordinarily beau-
tiful floral pieces sent not only by the relatively local
members of the trade, but also from distant points,
some of them coming from so far awav as the Middle
West.

The Flatbush growers will certainly mourn the-
death of their old friends, Eugene and Paul Daille-
douze.

J. C. Vaughan Explains Publication of Letter,

Reviews Subsequent History and Asks "Who

Has Misrepresented?"

[Note : The letter of April 27 mentioned below was
published in The Exchange of Oct. 21 on page 1051.
A reply from the California Association with com-
ments, appeared in the issue of Nov. IS on page 1345.
— Editor. ]

Editor The Florists Exchange:

My attention has been called to a telegram ad-
dressed to the Federal Horticultural Board, Wash-
ington. D. C and signed by Chancellor K. Grady,
secretary of the California Association of Nursery-
men, as follows :

"California Association of Nurserymen emphatically
disavows use made of our letter of April 27. Advise
you to disregard representations by J. C. Vaughan and
others regarding our position, last paragraph of our
letter being misconstrued and attempt being made to
mislead public as to our real position."

The writer published in September last an official
letter which had been written to Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace April 27, 1922, in response to an invi-
tation to attend the Washington conference of May
15 on Quarantine 37. It was signed by the Executive
Committee of the California Association of Nursery-
men, and, as its context shows, was sent for considera-
tion at the May 15 conference, inasmuch as it was
impossible for the association to send a representative
in person.

Dr. Marlatt has admitted that this latter was re-
ceived by the Secretary of Agriculture prior to the
conference, and the correctness of the text as re-
printed by me is not questioned. Nevertheless the
letter was not introduced in the May 15 hearing at
Washington, as many other communications were.
Furthermore, in all documents issued by the F. H. 15.
relative to the Washington conference no reference
was made to this letter, and in the voluminous "Re-
port of Indorsements of Quarantine 37" mailed out
by the F. H. B. June 30 the statement was made :
"No opposition was received from any Association of
Nurserymen."

Contrast this statement with the explanation made
by Dr. Marlatt in Washington on Oct. 30 in reply to
a question as to the reason the California letter was
not included in the "Report of Indorsements" before
mentioned. He stated that it was omitted because it
was not an indorsement, and that other protests had
been likewise omitted. Dr. Marlatt thus seems to
have drawn the same conclusion from the letter that
others have done, viz., that it was not an indorsement
of Quarantine 37 as administered.

My reason for publishing this letter was that it had
not been published elsewhere, that it was interesting
because of its frankly outspoken comment on a sub-
ject of such great importance to the florist trade ;
and that it was so much in agreement with the posi-
tion of critics of Quarantine 37 who do not live in
California. As to the justness of this view I ask fair-
minded men to decide after re-reading the letter itself,
which surely is the best evidence.

Dr. Marlatt stated on Oct. 30 that he had visited
California and had talked to members of the Cali-
Jorni Association of Nurserymen about the letter, and
that a meeting of the Executive Committee of the
Association had been held on Oct. 23 at which tele-
gram signed by Mr. Grady and quoted in part above
was drawn up, evidently for use at Washington on
■Oct. 30.

1 am giving the history of this incident at length
so that unprejudiced persons may judge whether there
has been at any stage, misrepresentation, by anyone
concerning this letter, and if so, who has been guilty
of misrepresentation.

1 do not blame the nurserymen of California for
changing their views on the quarantine, if they did
change them ; nor for sending a telegram to Dr. Mar-
latt modifying the letter of April 27, if that is what
their telegram was intended to do. But I resent, and
I regret, their unmanly and unjust attempt to fasten
a charge of misrepresentation upon me, and I am
humiliated by the fact that there exists in the United
States of America an autocratic power for whose
favor free men will so perform.

California Closes Its Case

Writing under date "of Nov. 17, Secretary Chancel-';
lor K. Grady sends us an article on "Federal Plant
Quarantine 37 and the California Association of Nur-
serymen,'' which he says, "has been prepared under
the supervision of the Executive Committee of the
association, and is intended to set at rest all con-
troversy as to our position."

In view of the fact that this article simply reviews
the now generally known history of the letter to
Secretary Wallace of April 27, 1922, summarizes the
recommendations made in that letter, and includes
the telegram sent to the F. H. B. on Oct. 23 (and pub-
lished in full in The Exchange of Nov. 18) we can-
not see that anything will be gained by printing it in
full.

However, in order that the present attitude of the
Californians shall be made known to their complete
satisfaction, we quote the following paragraphs from
the statement sent by Secretary Grady in connection
with which should be re-read the telegram to the
F. H. B. :

"On June 2, 1922, the California Association of Nur-
serymen in convention at Sacramento, Cal., unani-
ni'ouslv adopted resolutions supporting the Quarantine
and pledging its aid in every possible manner to the
continuance of the policv expressed in the Quarantine.
There is therefore no doubt as to the attitude of that
association on this important subject.

'.However, as a result of the publication of the letter
above referred to, and the attempt to make it appear
that this letter was an expression against the Quaran-
tine, resolutions were unanimously adopted by the Ex-
ecutive Committee of the association meeting in Los
Angeles on Oct. 23. 1922, and were telegraphed to the
Federal Horticultural Board. At the same meeting,
the work of Mr. Roy F. "Wilcox of Montebello, Cal.,
in supporting the Quarantine at the convention of the
Society of American Florists and Ornamental Horticul-
turists last August, was warmly endorsed as correctly
representing California horticulturists on this ques-
tion."

In gladly helping to close this chapter in the Quar-
antine controversy, The Exchange finds it unneces-
sary to do more than to refer to its comments appear-
ing on page 1346 of the Nov. IS issue which continue
to express its convictions on the matter.

The Chrysanthemum and the Corn Borer

The Athletic Association of Harvard University
showed a commendable spirit when, on the eve of the
Harvard-Yale game last Saturday, it reminded ticket
holders that under the F. H. B. Corn borer quaran-
tine, cut Chrysanthemums could not be carried out of
Massachusetts. In other words those who wished to
wear the customary blooms would have to buy them
in New Haven or somewhere between there and the
Massachusetts border, or go unadorned.

We call this commendable spirit because it was a
move to support Federal authority, to help enforce
existing laws. And doubtless by appealing to college
loyalty as well as citizen integrity it was distinctly
effective.

But, after all, does not this particular application
of the order serve simply to emphasize the inherent,
weakness of the ruling? True enough it received the
editorial approval of some of the newspapers as "one
of the comprehensive precautions taken by the De
partmeut of Agriculture to localize the pesky creature
known as the Corn borer now prevalent, not to say
epidemic, in the' commonwealth of Massachusetts."
But on the other hand it also created a situation
upon which the newspaper cartoonist (of the Boston
Herald, at least) seized with glee — and it is a matter
of history that institutions that the gods would de
stroy, they first subject to ridicule.

We, as we have often stated, are strongly for every
necessary, logical, sane and effective quarantine meas-
ure, and we condemn any attempt to evade or delib-
erately break any law definitely established by the
powers of law, order and community protection. But,
we ask, respectfully and in a sincere desire for en-
lightenment, any one to answer for us these ques-
tions :

1. Is the Corn borer in Massachusetts a greenhouse
as well as an outdoor pest? Is it known to infest
Chrysanthemums raised under glass for cut flowers?

2. If so, in what form or stage does the insect
appear in a cut bloom — such a bloom as is sold and
bought to be worn or carried? The sort of bloom that
was prohibited from leaving Massachusetts because
of its possible danger as a carrier?

3. If the borer infested a flower stem or a plant
would it not inevitably prevent that stem or plant
from bearing a salable flower? In other words, is not
the bloom that's good enough to market, thereby
shown to be healthy and safe?

Personal Experiences in Germany

iddress of B. J. McCallum before the Cleveland
Florists Club, Dec. 4, 1922

Backfire. — A current yarn about a liquor-loving Irishman has
a smile in it. "Father," said he, on meeting the parish priest
one day, "phwat is lumbago?" Seeing an opportunity for
needed reproof, the good father replied: " 'Tis a terrible dis-
ease which comes from drinking up booze and chasing around
nights." "Is that so?" said Pat. "It says in the paper that the
pope has lumbago." — Chicago Journal of Commerce.

A Pattern — "Young women nowadays," remarked an orni-
thologist in the employ of the Government, "take too light a view
of marriage. While in the West last Summer 1 was induced
to lecture to a Summer school. During the course of this
lecture I chanced to remark: 'The ostrich sees very little;
on the other hand, it digests everything.' Whereupon a girl
on the front bench exclaimed, sotto voice, to her neighbor;
'Gee! What an ideal husband an ostrich must make!' " —
Harper's Magazine.

THE first expression that I heard from a German
regarding America was in a train going from |
France to Germany, when a youth gave his im- I
pressions. They consisted of "big buildings in New I
York; cowboys and big mountains in California."
This youth was a German Jew and at first asked me \
if I was of his faith, a thing I couldn't understand
until I later discovered that he saw a Hebrew letter ,
on a fraternal pin I had on.

In Zurich, where I had a stopover, I ate breakfast
in the railroad restaurant, where I noticed everyone
eating a thick brown soup and drinking beer. It
seemed like an awful mixture for breakfast, but I
tried it out anyway and found the soup to be heavy
brown gravy. The bill of fare was in both German |
and French.

The larger French railroad restaurants have their
eating room divided into three classes, first, second
aud third. The meal is the same but the service and
price is different in each class.

In both France and Germany I had a lot of trouble
with the "Mc" on my name, everyone thinking that
was my first name, so when I attempted to cable home
they would insist on charging me for two words. I
was never called anything but "Herr Callum," even
my hotel bills being made out that way.

The Costly Cable

Talking of cabling reminds me that I once went to
the telegraph office in Dortmund to send a rather
lengthy cable home. It came to something like SO00
marks' when they were selling at 1200 to the dollar.
They looked up the charge and it came to so much
they thought they had made a mistake, so calculated
it over again only to find they were right. They then
asked me if I wanted to send it and I replied that I
did. Again they told me of the great cost and really
tried to argue me out of sending it on that account.
By this time they were having a regular conference
over it and when they saw I was determined to send
it one of them said, "These Americans! one cannot
understand them." and the conference broke up.

It is very common to see people go into an eating
place, order beer and then pull out of either their
pockets or a handsatchel some rolls and sausage to
eat with it. Well dressed people as well as workmen
do this. In fact, one morning I dropped in a coffee
house for my usual German breakfast of rolls and
coffee, but was told to get my rolls at the bakery next
door, which I did. With the exception of breakfast
very little bread is eaten and still less butter; people
got used to going without these things during the war,
and, of course, the price of butter was only within
the reach of the wealthy.

Substitute coffee made of rye, etc., is universally
used and to get real coffee, one must ask for "bean
coffee." Very little dessert is to be seen in restaurants,
but in coffee houses pastry of all kinds as well as
drinks are to be had.

People have he habit of nibbling at something all
the time, it being very common to see a workman,
clerk, bookkeeper, or even an official pull out a roll
or pear and eat it during working hours. In private
families it is common to eat only rolls, cold sausage,
and coffee for the evening meal and I must say I
went hungry in learning this, as often I was invited
out for this meal and at first would go very lightly
on what I thought were appetizers, so as to not spoil
the real meal to follow.

A hotels, the foreigner was charged anywhere from
20 per cent to 200 per cent over the German prices,
but in restaurants no extra charge was made. Many
hotels got around this by charging you for breakfast
whether eaten or not and charging double price for
the room if at least one of the principal meals were
not taken there.

The value of the dollar and the cost of living are
the two main subjects of conversation and for jokes
in theatres where they always bring a laugh. The
movies were all closed during my visit as a protest
against a heavy state tax.

Those Wealthy Americans

Americans are all supposed to be extremely wealthy
and a common expression that gets the American's
goat is when a complaint on high prices is made they
say, "What is that to an American." A taxi driver in
Berlin once took me for an Englishman and spoke
about the British "valuta" being so high. I admitted
it and then said, "The Americans have lots of money,
haven't they?" Whereupon he threw both hands in
the air and said, "Oh-h-h ! Everyone of them is as
rich as a king."

Beggars are seen everywhere, aud many people are
committing suicide owing to the dark outlook. One

liuui in a restaurant calmly observed to , me- one even-
ing that if things didn't pick up next, week he would
just commit suicide.

Most of the harvest workers are women and small
children must also work very hard, the smaller ones
picking up stray grain stalks by hand., I saw children
eight to ten years old hauling large carts and wagons
on the streets and on two different occasions I saw
six boys of this age from a home, harnessed to a large
wagon that would have made a good load for a horse.
Such sights hang heavily in one's mind. Often a dog
and a boy would be harnessed together to a small
wagon. Cigarette smoking among ladies of all classes
is much more common than here and the department
stores have little racks at the entrance where cus-
tomers can park their stub until they come out.
'. . An American is at first shocked at the freedom of
expression between men and women and also at the
public statues and paintings, but soon gets into the
way of things and thinks nothing about it.

The value of the mark is much higher in the in-
terior small towns than in the seaports as was illus-
trated when I once stopped at a very small hotel in
Westphalia, where I am sure they rarely ever see
Americans, for my lunch. I was the only guest and
had a fair meal for about, five cents. In paying 1
gave the old lady who ran it a hundred mark note
(worth 10c.) telling her to keep the change, and the
poor old soul could hardly believe it. I could still
hear her thanking me when I was several doors away.
Another time a girl got on my train at Weimar cry-
ing as though her heart would break. We finally got
her quiet enough to find out that her pocketbook
containing 2000 marks had been stolen as she boarded
the train. This amounted to about $1.75 in our money,
but represented quite a sum to her. Feeling sorry for
her. as she was stone broke, I gave her 500 marks,
or about 40c. and I never ran into so much embarrass-
ment, as she couldn't get over thanking me and all
the passengers in the compartment joined in. It paid
me well, though, as later on a tall aristocratic look-
ing German came in and said I had his seat. Of
course I didn't give it up and he then said he would
get the conductor and put me out. He left and did
return with the latter, who ordered me to give it up
•whereupon all the people in the compartment were
on their feet arguing and gesticulating in my favor,
so that the conductor quickly beat it, and the big
fellow had to stand. I think that he imagined that
he could bluff an "Auslander" and have the crowd
with him, but it surely didn't work with that crowd.

Most, all the toys, artificial flowers, and such things
are made by home workers, who on Saturday bring
their output to their agent in one of the larger towns.
It is generally women who. do this, carrying their
goods in baskets, often larger than themselves,
strapped to their backs. The railroads run special
cars for these people and they crowd into them so
that they often have to sit on top of their high bas-
kets or even get up on top of the car itself.

On Saturdays and Sundays you will see hundreds
of small hand wagons parked- at the railroad stations
awaiting some member of a family who has been out
in the country buying farm produce for the next
week. Bicycles are much more common there than
here, especially with the ladies and for a light at
night a Japanese lantern is invariably hung on the
handle bars.
Travel Uptodate

Airplanes now travel on regular schedules between
the larger cities, and the fare is less than train fare
in America. I used these quite frequently as they
are great time savers. Going from Berlin to Dresden
we ran into a heavy rainstorm, but our pilot simply
went higher and got above it. Looking down, I could
see nothing but clouds, that made one think he was
looking at clouds of steam. Often we would come
to a clear place when the land would be visible show-
ing possibly 10 or 15 different villages and from this
height one could see so plainly the chracteristics of
each village, one being entirely different from the
other in the way it built the buildings, etc. Travel
on these routes is heavy enough to compel one to
make reservation about three days in advance.

As there are no tall buildings in Europe there are
no modern elevators, but in Hamburg, which seems
to be most like an American city, the six-story build-
ings have an elevator on the endless belt style, like
an escalator in an American department store.

Of traffic laws there appear to be none, due no
doubt to the few automobiles on the streets. Speak-
ing of autos, one can always see at least one or two
Fords in any large place, all the taxicabs in South-
ampton being "Lizzies." The city streets and country
roads are in the best possible repair, making an auto
a great pleasure. A friend invited me for an auto
ride from Leipzig to Dresden and most of the way we
made 70 miles per hour, which shows how good the
roads are, as well as the quality of their best autos.

In Stuttgart I found that the street numbers on
one side of the street paid no attention to those on
the other side, which caused a stranger lots of trouble.

In Manheiin I found a peculiar way of numbering.
The streets are laid out in perfect squares and the
blocks are numbered instead of the street which
greatly confuses a stranger looking for a number.

All over Germany, and in France as well, business
houses close for from one and one-half to two hours
at noon. One can do no business during this time.
Thievery is common and everything is kept under
lock and key, each business man carrying an immense
bunch of keys around with him.

Every bed, whether in the best hotel or the most
humble home has a feather tick to cover you with,
instead of quilts or blankets. This goes fine on a cold
night, but isn't very comfortable in warm weather.
Wooden shoes were getting quite oommon while I was
there, as prices of leather shoes were getting beyond
reach.

Association football is the national sport, and on
Saturdays and Sundays games were going on every-
where.

The average German woman thinks it a natural
right of the husband to expect her to shine his shoes
as well as keep his clothes well mended. While visit-
ing a large dealer in baskets, my" low cut shoes once
disclosed a hole in the heel of my socks. His wife
noticing this insisted that I take my shoe and sock
off on the spot while she mended it. I finally had to
agree and she felt very proud when I said she made
' it look like new.

In Berlin I saw a policeman arrest a ten-year-old
boy for stealing fruit. The boy, of course, cried
loudly and immediately a crowd of women gathered
around demanding that he be released. The officer
argued with them while they were tugging at the
boy trying to pull him away. Finally he released the
boy whereupon the fruit man ordered him to keep the
boy under arrest. All of this was done in an ex
citable manner, every one hollering as loudly as pos-
sible. The result was that the cop kept his boy a
prisoner and led him away with 50 women follow-
ing after, wildly gesticulating their protests.

Beer is sold everywhere : even at exhibitions men
go through the halls selling it.

Few paper bags are seen, every one using news-
papers to wrap up their wares, even small fruit sold
from street stands. In a bakery I once noticed a
sign asking customers to bring their own paper to
wrap their bread in.

Outlook Bad for Industries

Manufacturing prices have risen so of late that it
is now getting ito the point where it doesn't pay the
foreigner to buy. At present all mills not manufac-
turing necessities are running full force on foreign
orders, but once these orders cease and the mills close
down, revolution will be the result and no man knows
where it will end.

I once gave a German friend a stick of chewing
gum. which he took home. Next day he said he
chewed it for hours until his jaws were very tired,
but he couldn't get it chewed up. He then gave some
to his friends and had great sport over it.

My German is limited and often when I would not
understand they would start talking louder instead
of slower, raising their voices to a very high pitch,
seeming to think this would make me understand
better. This was even more common in France than
in Germany.

The word "bitte" or "please" is used much more
than in America, but one must be careful to use it
ordinarily before the sentence rather than after. I
found that when used the latter way, as is general in
America, they thought I was impatient and would
resent it. Hat tipping or rather flourishing your hat
through the air is very common, even when two men
casually meet. It is even customary to do this upon
entering a store to purchase something.

Pennsylvanians always say "Pittsburgh, P-A." but
over there they always say "Pittsburgh, Paw," which
naturally sounded very comical to me.

The national toast in drinking is "Zum Bohl." Once
I mistakenly said it. "Zum Beispeil." which means "for
example." This struck the people around me as a
good joke, especially in view of America being dry.
It spread all over the place, so that although this was
in Leipzig, later in Berlin I met some of the same
people in a cafe and immediately they started the
"Zum Beispeil," which again went all around the
restaurant. If any of you people go to Germany and
hear this expression, you will know how it started.

As you know the Germans in 1S70 took some figures
of Victory from Paris and placed them on the Brand-
enburg Door, where they remained until lately when
the French took them back. Well, I passed there
with a German friend and couldn't help but pass an
inocent remark that I was under the impression that
there were figures of horses on the door. He replied
in the fewest possible words, "They went to Paris."

During the war all French words were stricken
from the German language, which brings to mind a
story of a beggar that called at a house, received some
food and on his departure said "Adieu." The German

owner called him down for using that French word
and told him that he should say "Auf Weidersehen."
Next, day the beggar was back again and when asked
why he had the nerve to come again so soon, he re-
plied, "Why yesterday you asked me to come again."

Gardeners and Florists Club of Boston

The Gardeners and Florists Club of Boston held its
monthly meeting in Horticultural Hall on the evening
of Nov. 21. About 130 members were present when
president Wm. H. Judd took the chair. After Secre-
tary Wm. N. Craig had read the report of the previous
meeting it was voted to hold a Ladies Night in the
near future, the arrangements to be left in the hands
of the Executive Committee. It was also voted to
hold, as usual, a banquet early in 1923 and, after a
lengthy discussion, it was decided to hold this affair
in one of the hotels instead of. as formerly, in Horti-
cultural Hall. The Executive Committee was charged
with finding a suitable hotel and managing the neces-
sary details.

Resolutions were read on the death of Henry F.
Calder of Norwood, who died on Oct. 11, and it was
voted to spread these resolutions on the record of the
club and to send a copy to the bereaved family.

Three new names were added to the list of mem-
bers. The question box yielded these three questions :
Why do Gardenias drop their buds at this time? What
is the cause of bud-dropping of Sweet Peas and, what
is the best compost for Camellias? These questions
brought forth some lively discussions.

Nomination of officers for the ensuing year was
next on the program. The following gentlemen were,
unanimously proposed and the nominations closed :
President, Harold A. Ryan ; vice-president, Wm. H.
Golby : treasurer, James Methven : secretary, Wm. N.
Craig. Ten names were proposed for the Executive
Committee, of which five are to be chosen at the next
meeting.

Brief Orchid Lectures

The lecture of the meeting was exceptionally at-
tractive, first, on account of the importance of the
several subjects presented and because the talks were
given by practical growers who are known to be thor-
oughly familiar with the plants of which they spoke.
The list of speakers was as follows : Donald McKen-
zie. Chestnut Hill, on Odontoglossums and Odontio-
das ; George Butterworth, Framingham, on Cymbid-
iums ; George Lydiard, Newton, on Dendrobiums and
George l'.Anson. Beverly Farms, on East Indian Or-
chids other than Phalsenopsis. These talks were well
received by an interested audience which gained much
profitable ' information and was not backward or
afraid to ask questions of the speakers. A rising vote
of thanks was tendered each speaker.

The Exhibits

The display of plants and flowers on the exhibition
tables was much larger than usual. James Donald.
Hinghani, showed 28 varieties of Chrysanthemums, in-
cluding every type, receiving honorable mention. He
also showed a vase of fine Laddie Carnations and
specimens of black seeded Tennis Ball Lettuce. Vote
of thanks.

A. E. Rogers was awarded a report, of merit for his
elegant sprays of Chrysanthemum Ruby, a single of
special merit and beauty. Other fine single Chrysan-
themums were his Etar and Mrs. W. H. Moore. For
these and for a vase of Amaryllis aulicum he received
a vote of thanks. The Amaryllis was considered to be
blooming much ahead of its regular season. [About
six months we should hazard. — Ed.]

John T. Butterworth, Framingham, received a re-
port of merit for his perfectly grown and flowered
Epidendron vittelinum autumnalis and Cymbidium
Schlegeli. A cultural report of merit was awarded
his Cypripedium Dreadnaught.

Ed." Norberg. Cambridge, showed two vases of sev-
eral varieties^of commercial Chrysanthemums, receiv-
ing a vote of thanks, while Donald McKenzie, Chest-
nut Hill, received report of superior merit for Brasso-
Cattleya Baroness: report of merit for Odontoglossum
Wilsouii, besides honorable mention for Odontoglos-
sums Adriane, Othello and Grande.

Tulip Raising Statements Challenged

Editor The Florists Exchange:

My attention has been called to a misleading state-
ment from the United States Department of Agricul-
ture regarding the growing of Tulips in America. I
quote the first paragraph of the press service circular
from that department dated Nov. 14, 1922 :

"Most of the Tulip bulbs used in this country are
imported, but good Tulips can be grown here at a
profit. Tulip bulbs are already being raised in com-
mercial quantities by three or four companies in
southern Michigan, by an association in the Willam-
ette Valley of Oregon ; by a company in northwestern

1494

The Florists Exchange

California : another in the Norfolk region of Virginia
and in a smaller way in a score of localities. The
Department of Agriculture has been growing them
successfully on Puget Sound in the State of Wash-
ington."

I wish to challenge the above statement, believing
that the entire importing and wholesale trade of this
country will bear me out in saying that no commer-
cial quantities of merchantably graded Tulip bulbs
have yet been produced in America, and the very few
small crops which have been grown, are not sufficient
to supply the Autumn requirements of even one of
the smallest jobbing bulb dealers in this country. The
question at once arises. "Why are such misleading
and untrue statements disseminated in the public
press all over the country at taxpayers' expense?"

Chicago, Nov. 24, 1922. J. C. Vatjghan.

[The press circular referred to rather exaggerates
the statements made by Dr. David Griffiths in Bulletin
No. 10S2. Dr. Griffiths declares that good Tulips can
be grown in America at a profit and have been pro-
duced in sufficient quantities to command respect, but
he goes on to state that the bulletin is published for
the _ purpose of enabling the prospective grower to
avoid the pitfalls which are clearly demonstrated in
the latter parts of the bulletin.

Dr. Griffiths' remarks make it clear to the ordinary
commercial man, be he dealer or forcer, that the quan-
tity of Tulips produced in America are but a "drop in
the ocean" and, if one attempts to figure out from
his tables, the actual quantities of top grade bulbs
produced on the acre experimental plot at Bellingham.
it becomes evident that the output has never got out'
side microscopical proportions.

Where Dr. Griffiths falls down is in his failure to
record how, and to whom the bulbs harvested at the
Government plot were consigned ; whether sold whole-
sale or retail or whether sent to growers for forcing.
One has a suspicion that the bulbs were largely, if
not entirely supplied to Washington and other 'de-
partmental establishments.

_ In the tables the term "marketed", is used and the
illustrations and text indicate that bulbs have cer-
tainly been shipped away from Bellingham, but
where? It would seem that in 1920, 163,S4S Tulip
bulbs were sent away from Bellingham, but part of
these were smaller than the average market grade
Some 58,000 in fact. The total, too, was somewhat
augmented by the fact that about 10,000 bulbs, which
had been flowered at Washington in 1919 formed
part of the 1920 plantings: these naturally gave a
higher percentage of large flowering bulbs than the
stock grown from Bellinghain's own bulblets. So all
in all Dr. Griffiths figures that 100,000 is nearer a
normal turnout from the acre plot.

The bulletin, therefore, does not bear out the claims
made m the circular referred to by Mr. Vaughan • it
merely proves that Tulip bulbs have been produced
which no one will question, for save in extremelv cold
regions, we believe Tulip bulbs can be produced any-
where but, as Dr. Griffiths explains, it is probab'l-
that Tulip bulb growing as an industry, will only be
supplementary to present sources of supply for many
years; in fact be appears to doubt whether the homo
supply could even keep pace with the regular incre-
ment of bulb consumption, least of all supplant the
present clay importations.

We venture to add that we believe it would be
futile for any one concern to attempt the production
ot tie bulbs on a grand scale; to use a common
phrase, the bigger they are, the harder they fall.—

Denver's Fifth Annual Flower Show

A Great Success

THE fifth annual flower show of Denver, Colo.,
held in the City Auditorium, Nov. 15 to 17 was
the most successful of the five. Thousands of
people visited the exhibition which was given under
the auspices of the Denver Society of Ornamental
Horticulture assisted by the Garden Club and the flo-
rists of Denver. Due to the splendid civic spirit of
Denver city officials in allowing the free use of the
large Municipal Auditorium for the show it was pos-
sible to present this wonderful display free of charge
to the public.

Mayor D. C. Bailey, of Denver, officially opened the
show Wednesday evening by pushing a button and
flooding the entire hall with light. The opening pro-
gram included an organ recital by Clarence Reynolds,
City Organist; a selected solo by Mrs. Harry Bel-
lamy; a presentation of the colorful Butterfly Dance
by children from the Skinner Junior High School and
several excellent imitations of bird whistling by Miss
Myrtle Mattison. Mayor Bailey in bis address re-
ferred to the fact that outside States had, this year.

Rose Commonwealth

At not a few Fall exhibitions, including several
entailing three or four days traveling, large vases of
this Rose have been exhibited by A. N. Pierson, Inc.,
Cromwell, Conn.

Its first appearance in New York was at the Octo-
ber meeting of the New York Florists Club where it
attracted considerable attention because of its rich
color. For so early in the season, the flowers were of
excellent quality.

Commonwealth has not been shown in competition
to any extent, but at the
Chicago Uptown Fall Ex-
position it was awarded the
silver cup offered for the
best 100 blooms in the show.

At St. Louis. Minneapo-
lis, Denver and various
shows in the East, includ-
ing New York, Common-
wealth has favorably im-
pressed growers as being a
commercial variety. Com-
monwealth as shown haa
not been a giant flower; a
good average sized, well
formed, hard looking and
long lasting deep pink that
shows no variation. The
color is solid, and while
not possessing any notice-
able trace of yellow or sal-
mon the fact that Ophelia
is one of its parents should
ensure a good keeping color.

It was raised by the
Montgomery Co.. Hadley,
Mass., and its other parent
is a Montgomery seedling.

son— Spring delivery — des-
cribe it as of strong vigor-
ous habit making a much
larger plant than the av-
erage. It breaks readily
from old wood.

We can testify (to its
hard. leathery foliage,
which suggests freedom
from disease, and makes a
stem amply long enough
for general purposes with-
out pinching. We under-
stand its hard character
necessitates a few extra
degrees of heat in Winter
to keep it actively going.

Its flowers are mostly
borne singly ; the buds are
shapely, and can be .cut
quite small, with the cer-
tainty of opening. It ships
well and carries a .rich
perfume. Further, it is a
better Summer variety
than the average.

A. N. Pierson Inc. have every faith in Common-
wealth, but they prefer to accept the views of other
growers before distribution begins. Accordingly, some
05 well-known Rose growers throughout the country
have a number of plants under test. Anyone may
visit these various growers and also Cromwell and
Hadley to see and learn all the good — and bad points
if it has any — of Commonwealth. Those who cannot
see this novelty in action, may safely place their or-
ders. If Commonwealth is disseminated next Spring,
it will be on its merit, not on the mere recommenda-
tions of its raisers or introducers.

sent exhibits to the show proving that Denver is fast
becoming known as one of the large flower centers of
the country and to further encourage the good work
he promised a cup as one of the trophies for the 1923
flower show. Adam Kohankie, superintendent of
Washington Park and general manager of the flower
show, gave a short talk on the aims and the purposes
of the show. Thirty years ago Denver was little more
than a thriving Western town, on the mountain edge
of a great dry plain, he declared ; now our city has
become a garden spot. The aim was to spread the
fame of Denver far and wide as a great flower center
by holding these annual shows and to encourage the
growing of flowers in every home garden in Denver.

M. E. Carter of the Rock Floral Co., Kansas City,
Mo., who acted as judge, was much surprised and also
pleased with the manner in which the Denver show
was put on. He said, "The cooperation of Denver
florists and growers in putting on a show of such
quality and free to the public, without a single money
premium to be gained by the exhibitors, is wonderfui.
The spirit of the city officials in allowing the free use
of this wonderful auditorium is an example of civic
pride in beauty, seldom seen. It is a unique method
of fostering pride in civic achievements and of edu-
cating the people to the beauty and utility of flowers."

Some of the Big Features

The staging of wonderfully fine Chrysanthemums
by E. W. Burkhard, of Glen Eyre, Colorado Springs,
was the big feature of the show. Mr. Burkhard took
many of the first prize awards, among them the

mayor's cup. He also took several of the largest
prizes in the recent St. Louis show. A splendid ex-
hibit of Cyclamen shown by C. F. Maler of Denver
was also one of the big features of the show as was
also Mr. Maler's display of orchids. Representing a
section of a tropical river bank by the use of Palms,
Ferns, Rubber trees, and running water, Mr. Maler
made a very artistic arrangement of various orchid
varieties by placing the plants is the crotches of the
limbs of a large moss covered tree, showing the orchid
as it grows in its native home.

Exhibited by the Park Floral Co. was a perfect
example of Madame Butterfly Rose on a stem, measur-
ing over 6ft. in length. Towering, as it did, over most
of the other exhibits, it was the target for much
interest.

Five splendid specimens of a seedling Coleus. pro-
duced by John L. Russell, Superintendent of City
Park, aroused much interest. The foliage had an
outer edge of dark red, shading to light red and green,
with a white center.

The specimen of Adiantum in an ISin. tub, and hav-
ing fronds measuring up to 30in. in length, exhibited
by the Mauff Floral Co. was the center of an admiring
crowd throughout the show. This firm also had a
splendid group of foliage and ornamental plants.

The Palms, Ferns and baskets of Chrysanthemums
which the Denver Wholesale Florist Co. used as a
background for their exhibit of florists supplies was
well arranged and made a nice showing.

Unusually effective was the booth of the America
Flower Shop. Decorated with hangings of old rose

, velvet, trimmed with gold braid, it made a splendid
setting for their exhibit of baskets of Scott Key Roses,
yellow and white Chrysanthemums, and pots of Cycla-
men and Ferns. The Speth Floral Co., using two large
I oil canvases, depicting scenes of old English home-
steads, as a background made a very good showing
of Chrysanthemums, Roses, Carnations, Ferns and
Palms. Showing the excellent work done in the green-
houses of City Park was the large display arranged
by Mr. Russell. Included in this display were a num-
ber of pot Chrysanthemums including Pompons, Be-
; gonias and a big variety of foliage plants. Along with
I many of the commoner foliage plants the City Park
greenhouses produce many which are rarely if ever
seen in the commercial field. The South American
"Ceshoui" (?), a yellow flowering plant, resembling
the Cineraria in form and shape, but with a smooth
leaf of a very dark green color, was one of the most
interesting examples. Mr. Russell has been successful
in growing this plant outdoors.

A little corner of "The Land of the Mikado" was
the booth used by the Crown Hill Florists to show
their exhibits of Pompon and other Chrysanthemums.
The booth was constructed entirely of bamboo rods
and was decorated with Japanese lanterns and um-
brellas. A large assortment of baskets of Chrysanthe-
mums was arranged by Geo. H. Cooper on his display
stand, which was decorated with a profusion of Oak
leaves.

Beautifully decorated with Oak leaves and purple,
mahogany and several shades of green velvet, the
display stand of the Alpha Floral Co. made an effec-
tive setting for the hand and bridal bouquets which
were a feature of their exhibit. Several baskets of
Roses and Chrysanthemums were used as a back-
ground.

D. S. Grimes Sons exhibited a wonderfully large
assortment of Chrysanthemums, Roses and Carna-
tions, all home productions. Their display was deco-
rated with ferns and pot plants.

The Elitch Gardens Co. used one entire table to
exhibit a display of their fine Begonias. Another large
table carried examples of their Roses, Chrysanthe-
mums, Carnations, Cyclamen and Poinsettias. Foliage
plants completed their display.

Roses, Carnations, Valley and Chrysanthemums,
were shown by Fred. C. Meyer, a wholesale grower.
Decorated with Heather, Ferns and Cyclamen, his
exhibit was well arranged, but the neatest exhibition
of the show was the display of Chrysanthemums
grown by the Fairmount Greenhouses. Their artistic
basket arrangements and the readable name cards
attached to each variety, made an attractive showing.
Much interest was created by the large display of
beautiful basket arrangements shown by the Park
Floral Co. Many favorable comments were heard in
regard to the artistic character of their pieces. The
feature of their display was a dinner table. Their
group of ornamental and foliage plants was also well
arranged.

A large number of 5in. Carnation plants was dis-
played by the Barteldes Seed Co., all from their nur-
series.

To display three different sized basket arrange-
ments, Rockmont For Flowers, Inc., used a narrow
mahogany library table, with a parchment shaded
floor lamp at the side as a centerpiece for their ex-
hibit. Around this was grouped a number of large
baskets of Chrysanthemums and Roses. The whole
display was beautifully set off with a background
consisting of a white archway after the Japanese
style decorated with lavender hangings, ferns and
palms. Altogether it was the most artistically ar-
ranged display in the show.

A nice exhibit of basket arrangements of Roses and
Chrysanthemums was shown by the flower depart-
ment of the Daniels & Fishers Stores Co., Inc. Their
display was decorated with royal purple velvet.

New Roses

The large number of new varieties of Roses ex-
hibited this year was the biggest feature of the show.
Made possible through the courtesy of several East-
ern growers, the exhibit of these Roses created more
interest than any other single exhibit.

The E. G. Hill Co. of Richmond, Ind., exhibited a
large vase of America. The florists of Denver and the
visiting florists from other parts of the State, received
it very favorably. There is no doubt but that this
Rose will soon replace some of the older favorites.

After being on the road for more than four days,
Commonwealth, the new pink Rose of A. N. Pierson,
Inc. of Cromwell, Conn., arrived in splendid condition.
With this record as a shipper besides its other quali-
ties, Commonwealth will no doubt prove itself a fa-
vorite with the trade.

The Stuppy Floral Co. of St. Joseph, Mo., exhibited
a quantity of their new Rose, Annie Laurie, which is
of the same type as the Ophelia. Many favorable re-
marks were made on it and it made a good showing.

The judges of the show awarded each of these new
varieties a certificate of merit.

Notable among the new varieties of Roses displayed
by the Roberts Rose Co. of Englewood, Colo., was
Souv. de Claudius Pernet, the gorgeous French lemon
colored Rose. Chervenka's Honeymoon, an orange
colored Rose which far outstrips all other yellow
Roses, was also a big feature of their display. Also
on display by this company were two varieties as
yet unnamed, one a sport of the Premier having much
deeper color, and the other a yellow after the type
of the Honeymoon. John T. Roberts, Jr., of the
Roberts Rose Co. has requested the ladies of the
Garden Club of Denver to furnish a name for the
premier sport. Several specimens of Red Columbia
were also included in this display.

Much comment was made on the exhibit of a deep
pink Columbia, shown by the Fairmount greenhouses.

Judge Carter declared the Carnations were better
than any he had seen shown anywhere, and the qual-
ity of the Roses and Chrysanthemums showed Denver
is fortunate in having a climate -which allows her to
produce high quality flowers much earlier in the sea-
son than almost any other point in the country.

Competitive Exhibits

The Mayor's Cup was the first in importance among
the ten or more trophies which were awarded this
year. This trophy was awarded to E. W. Burkhard
for the best twelve Chrysanthemums in the show.
The Robt. E. Speer Memorial Cup in memory on
the late Mayor Speer of Denver, donated by th°
Denver Civic and Commercial Association, is an im-
portant trophy, and this cup will be finally given to
the exhibitor who wins it three times. Awarded last
year to the Park Floral Co. for the most artistic
basket displayed, it was again won by this firm this
year for the best centerpiece for a table seating 20
guests. The retail price of the piece was limited to
$35 or less. The American Legion Cup, donated by the
Central Committee of the Denver Legion, was also
won by the Park Floral Co., for the best basket of
any kind of flowers, retail price not to exceed $15,
and the color scheme to feature the National Colors.
The beauty and artistic work on all of the many en-
tries for these two trophies made it extremely hard
for the judges to decide the winner; the competition
was keen.

The chief winners were : Chrysanthemum plants —
The Park Floral Co. ; D. S. Grimes Sons.

Miscellaneous plants. — Mauff Floral Co., silver cup;
Park Floral Co.; Crown Hill Florist, C. F. Maler.

Cut Chrysanthemums. — Park Floral Co., silver cup:
D. S. Grimes Sons ; Crown Hill Florist, winners of
the Ove Gnatt Co. prize, and the Burlington Willow
Ware Co. prize ; E. W. Burkhard, Mayor's Cup ; Oakes
Home ; C. F. Maler ; Ben Boldt, and Mauff Floral Co.

Cut Roses. — Roberts Rose Co., winners of Sweep-
stakes Cup ; Park Floral Co., Mauff Floral Co., Trim-
mer & Son.

Orchids. — C. F. Maler, silver cup.

Carnations.- — C. F. Maler, winner of Sweepstakes
Cup ; L. A. Kintzele, Mauff Floral Co., O. E. Sandberg,
D. S. Grimes Sons, Geo. Brenkert. Ben Boldt.

Miscellaneous flowers. — Holly Floral Co., L. A.
Kintzele, D. S. Grimes Sons.

Those WhoJWorked

As their part of the flower show the Garden Club
arranged a beautiful rustic tea garden across one end
of the auditorium. Here, sandwiches, ice cream, cako
and coffee were served to the people who viewed the
flower show during the luncheon and dinner hours.
Over 20 tables were in use and each table was deco-
rated with a basket of flowers. Apart from adding
to the success of the flower show, the tea garden
itself was successful in a financial way. The tea
garden was in charge of Mrs. Henry Sewall, who was
assisted by the following ladies : Mesdames Frank
Ashley, Harry Bellamy, J. J. B. Benedict, D. R. C.
Brown, Adolph Coors, Jr., E. F. Dunlevy, John Evans,
Lucius Hallett, Harold Koontz, Forbes Rickard,
Henry Van Kleeck, James Waring, Theron Field and
the Misses Margaret Hart, Cornelia Dermott, Eleanor
Benedict, Sarah Houston, Fannie Campbell and
Dorothy Gano.

Responsibility for the success of the show rests
upon the following officials : Adam Kohankie, general
manager; E. P. Neiman, of the Park Floral Co., secre-
tary, and the several committees made up by C. R.
Root, D. W. Thomas, P. L. Clarke, Emil Glauber,
S. R. DeBoer, B. E. Gillis, Mrs. James Waring, Mrs.
Adolph Goors, Jr., M. W. Pesman, Mrs. Lute Wilcox,
Mrs. John McDonough, P. L. Clarke, A. Mauff and
Louis A. Kintzele. M. E. Carter of Kansas City, Mo.,
and Al J. Reed of the Morgan Floral Co., Fort Mor-
gan, Colo., served as judges.

The show formally closed Friday evening, but the
real end did not come until Saturday morning when
the cut flowers exhibited were taken by different

members of the Horticultural Society, and distributed
to the inmates of the different hospitals of Denver.

State Organization Formed

Approximately 200 people attended the banquet
given in the Adams Hotel, Denver, Colo., on Nov. 17,
when florists, from the entire State of Colorado, ac-
companied by their wives and lady friends, met for
the purpose of organizing a State association. Tho
program of the evening was in charge of John T. Rob-
erts. Jr. of Denver, and he opened the banquet by
welcoming the visiting florists on behalf of the Den-
ver florists. Herbert Clausen of Denver was ap-
pointed song leader, and assisted by Harry Harlow,
Fred Meyer and H. Trimmer, all of Denver. He led
some rousing songs during the evening.

Immediately after the last course the meeting pro-
ceeded to discuss the plans for organization, which
were in mind. L. A. Kintzele of Denver and J. E.
Johnson of Colorado Springs, as a committee on con-
stitution and by-laws made a few changes in a copy
of the constitution of the Kansas State Florists Asso-
ciation and presented it to the meeting for adoption.

This constitution was deemed acceptable after some
discussion, and the chairman ruled that its adoption
constituted a formal organization of the florists of
the State of Colorado. The following officers were
then elected: E. P. Neiman, Denver, president; J. E.
Johnson, Colorado Springs, first vice-president; Carl
Espelin of Ft. Collins, second vice-president; Herbert
Clausen. Denver, secretary and Harry Harlow, Den-
ver, treasurer.

Denver F. T. D. Unit

Following the members of the F. T. D. A. who
were present met and listened to a report given by
Geo. H. Cooper, Denver, of the recent Baltimore con-
vention. Plans were then made for the purpose of
organizing the Colorado unit in accordance with the
plans of the national organization. The "purpose of
the unit organization is to furnish a means of gather-
ing data, which may be beneficial to the F. T. D. A.
and for the purpose of bringing into closer relation-
ship with one another the members of the association
in each State. The following temporary officers were
elected and committees, which are necessary for the
carrying out of the organization program will be
appointed in the very near future. Geo. H. Cooper.
Denver, chairman; J. Edward Johnson, Colorado
Springs, vice-chairman and E. S. Kennedy, Denver,
secretary. N. H. N

A correspondent'returns to us a clipping from a recent
issue of The Exchange with these words from an edi-
torial note underlined: "The harmonious and, at times,
even jovial atmosphere that characterized the discus-

What Is the Best Boston Fern

(Concluded from page 1463)
fern but requires even more care than the Verona.
Whitmanii and Whitmanii compacta, being my own
originations, as most florists know are, of course, in
my opinion, the best fancy ferns.

However, the champion Nephrolepis for general
public use is the Dwarf Boston. It supersedes any
thing else, unless one requires a very lengthy frond,
in which case, of course, one has to go back to the
old Boston Fern. After carefully watching in growth
all the different ferns for many years, I recommend
that every florist stock up with Dwarf Bostons, as
far as his space will allow because, I think, they are
the biggest money makers, the easiest to grow and
the fern which will never remain dormant.

I have produced several ferns besides those I have
mentioned. There have been Magniflci, Gracilima and
one which I have not named as yet. My Magniflci
was of a type that not everyone could grow, so I did
not advertise it on the market extensively, but sold
what I had direct to the customers who came to the
greenhouses. Magniflci and Gracilima are fine, dainty
ferns, and will always have their place, but, as I have
said, the one that gives the best promise for commer-
cial purposes, and of which I do not think there is
any equal, is the Dwarf Boston.

The Market

Nov. 28. — With the first inch of
snow on the ground and the air with that
wintry feeling, it looks as if flowers would
be, appreciated for Thanksgiving Day.
The week past business has left little to
be desired, so that fair clearances have
been the order of the day. Today was
good and the prospect for tomorrow, the
day before the holiday, is rather bright.
Prices are being held tight, on a level that
is somewhat higher than a week ago, and
an advance is sure to take place tomorrow.
There is much reason why people, this
year, should find many things to be thank-
ful for. Employment must be general and
wages satisfactory enough at all events,
for one can notice that almost every man
is sporting a heavy, new ulster, and the
flappers, bless their hearts, have invested
in long fur coats to keep Jack Frost
from nipping those daintily modeled
ankles.

American Beauty Roses are up to 75c,
for specials, with not many around. They
are expected to go to a dollar or more
by tomorrow. Other Roses are falling off
in supply, and it is predicted that crops
will be short for some time to come. The
price is around one cent per inch, with
reds a dollar or two higher per 100.. Co-
lumbia is seen more than anything else;
next comes Premier, while Ophelia is un-
doubtedly less in evidence than a year
ago. White Roses are still neglected.
Lengths above 21in. are scarce, the price
per inch is less than that for shorter
grades, proportionately.

Carnations, meaning good ordinary stock,
have arrived at 6c, fancies are more, up
to 10c. for Laddie. The latter variety
is in short supply, as those growers who
raise this sort are shipping the flowers
to New York. There are really never
many Carnations in the market, and the
prospects for an increase in the supply
are nothing to brag of, with the darkest
days just ahead between now and Christ-
mas. Eight cents was expected to be the
price today, but 7c. or less had to be
taken. Tomorrow 8c. will probably be the
rule.

Chrysanthemums are still doing well.
Eirst-class flowers of Chadwick, Seidewitz,
Enguehardt, Surprise and like sorts bring
$4 easy, and up to $6 if worth that much.
There is an immense supply of low grade
and really poor stock, which makes trouble
in selling, and has to go at any price.
This is especially true of Bonnaffon and
Rager, of which a great many lots are
much below medium size. Fair-sized
blooms of either sell readily for $3 per
doz., if clean and not too old. There is a
general complaint that Chrysanthemums
have not behaved well this season, the
fault being laid to the weather. Pompons
and Singles are in great demand, and al-
though the arrivals are of good I propor-
tions, these flowers sell clean from day
to day. Good Buckingham have sold, to-
day, for $1.50 per bunch, with Louise
Davenport at $1.25, and other varieties in
proportion to their popularity. The little
yellow Baby finds many takers, bringing
as high as $1 per bunch. As with the
larger sorts, there is too much of mediocre
or poor stock on hand and some low prices
are accepted for this kind of goods.

Callas are becoming more plentiful,
finding a fair demand, while white Lilies
are not much wanted. Of both, the sup-
ply is not large, nor of Lilium speciosum
roseum.

Violets are not offered at all on some
days and are staying around 2c, when to
be had. The demand for Sweet Peasi is
not over strong, nor is the supply large,
-bor a few of the very best Sweet Peas
6c. has been paid, but others went for
l%c. to 2c Tomorrow, it is expected,
may bring 4c or more. Calendulas are
doing well, and there is a good supply of
fine flowers, the best reaching 4c Buttons
and yellow Marguerites stay around le
to 2c, with a fair supply.

There is a little very good Virginia An.
tirrhmum, realizing $2 per doz. with
small demand. Stevia has appeared with
a rush, and finds a good market at from
50c. to 75c per bunch. Pansies are be-
coming more plentiful and better, and
Paperwhites, of which there are few as
yet, sell for 8c, little demand existing
inere is still some Cosmos and also some
few Primulinus Gladioli, for which sales
are slow at $1.50 per doz.

Cattleyas, today, are very scarce, and
so are all other orchids. The price for
hardy ferns has gone to $4 per 1000, owing
to the scarcity of this much needed com-
modity. The supply of Lily of the Valley
is limited, at present, with a normal de-
mand and the price from 8c to 10c

The demand for pot plants is satisfac-
tory, to say the least. The stock offered
is excellent, especially Cyclamen and Be-
gonias, not to forget Oranges, which lat-
ter are perhaps better than what has been
seen for some years. Solanums, also, are
very fine and sell with a rush.

Baltimore, Md.

The Market

The arrival of cool, frosty weather
has made some welcome changes in the
wholesale market; the supply along some
lines has shortened up very noticeably.
Still many Chrysanthemums about, but
they won't last long.

Roses, while they are not so plentiful
as last week, are more than enough for
the demand. Callas are small and scarce.
Cattleyas and Gardenias are very scarce.
Plenty of Cypripediums and the* market
is overflowing with greens of all kinds.

tail stores. The interior decorations and
appointments are most attractive and
artistic, while the entrance and front of
the building show the window box idea.
Filed with evergreens, they are an at-
tractive advertisement, always bound to
command attention. Mrs. Jennie Bry-
ant, whose artistic ability in handling
flowers is well known, will be associated
with the new firm.

John Simon Bros, of Radnor ave., Gov-

Retail Notes

Business continues rather below
normal with the bulk of it funeral work
and boxes and bouquets for the sick.
'Mums have the call and are popular on
account of the great variety in color and
size and, in addition to this, their keep-
ing qualities.

Among the Growers

With the advent of real cold weath-
er the cost problem looms up and threat-
ens to overlap receipts if a strict watch
is not kept on all sides of the expense
account. Really good flowers are being
sent to the city markets every day by
our growers and they are hoping for good
returns to pay coal and labor bills and
give them cause for thanksgiving.

Nov. 27.— The past week brought
the first Winter weather of the season,
and with its dark, cool days, has caused
stock to tighten up, with the result that
there has been no oversupply of anything
and prices, while not high, have remained
firm.

The outlook for Thanksgiving business
is good so far as demand is concerned,
but it looks as if stock, especially 'Mums,
would be scarce. Am. Beauty is still
scarce and the demand has increased,
causing them to clean up daily ; other
Roses are in the same boat and by noon
the wholesale houses have none left. The
supply of 'Mums is small ; Pompons are
more plentiful, and it looks as though
there would be plenty of these for
Thanksgiving.

The call for Lilies has not been so
good', but the supply is limited; Carna-
tions are coming into their own and from

iJo to.. ,now on ?hould be S°od Property. Stevia

has put in an appearance and sells read-
ily. Sweet Peas are improving both in
quality and supply, and it is to be hoped
that they will not drop their buds, as
usual, during December.

Reports from growers of bulb
stock in this section tend to show that
cut stock will be scarce this season, as
most of them refused to buy Paperwhites,
due to the high cost, and most of the
Daffodils received are no good. One
grower showed me 50,000 bulbs that were
useless. The only reason he could give
was that they had heated on ship board.
Out of 25 bulbs that he cut open for me,
only one was sound. While there was a
flower in all the rest of them it was
black and had no life whatever. I won-
der how many growers have received this
kind of stock?

E. J. McCallum of The McCallum Co.
gave a talk on his European trip before

A radio message from Newcastle, Pa.,
brought us the message that Fred Butz
took unto himself a bride. We had about
given up hopes of such action on the part
of Fred.

It is with regret that we have to re-
port the death of Harry Gibson, head
of The Zieger Co. While Mr. Gibson has
been ill for some time, and it was known
that death was near, it came as a shock
to his many friends and business asso-
ciates.

Nine horticultural organizations of
Allegheny County met at a dinner Thurs-
day evening, Nov. 23 at the Fort Pitt
Hotel in the interest of the $2,000,000
drive of Pensylvania State College. Dean
Watts and Prof. Fletcher of the college
were the principal speakers of the even-
ing. They outlined the work the school
had done in the past and what they
aimed to do in the future, but said that
it was impossible to go ahead for lack of
funds, as the State appropriations were
not large enough. It is their aim to have
the florists of Pennsylvania build a
$200,000 dormitory and it was started at
the dinner by a nice sum subscribed by
those present to be paid in three years.
Outside of this business, the dinner was
a huge success, about 150 being present,
including many outoftown florists.

The Market

There has been, a perceptible tight-
ening of the market since last week and
while Pompons are plentiful, large
'Mums are quite scarce, especially the
exhibition sizes. Golden Chadwick
reigns supreme with Bonnaffon and
Maude Deane also much sought after.
Roses are higher and not many to be had in
the shorter grades^ One of our leading grow-
ers tells me Premier will be scarce for
Christmas as the fine weather has brought
on many crops early and try as they will,
they cannot hold them.

Carnations have improved wonderfully;
Sweet Peas arrive in larger shipments
and Violets are much better within the
last few days. Valley is not so plentiful
and Cattleyas are a rare article. Stevia
and Paperwhites are in with both feet,
and while as yet no top notch stuff has
been received, what does arrive is wel-
come addition to the market.

Some excellent Cypripediums are com-
ing in and are sold at a figure in reach
of everyone. Snapdragon is better, the
bench grown stock having hardened up
with more seasonable weather. Easter
Lilies and Callas are as usual, but the
buyers do not take kindly to them at
present.

Greens are normal and some excellent
red berries are coming in.

Plants sell well, Cyclamen and Begon-
ias, Cherries, Primroses and 'Mums hav-
ing the call.

Cleveland Florists Club

The Cleveland Florists Club held
another auto jaunt on Thursday, Nov. 23,
and about 90 enthusiastic florists turned
out. The trip took in the Cleveland pot-
tery, a basket factory and the various
greenhouse establishments in the Shaft
road section. The principal crops here
are vegetables and one wonders how the
vast amount of Lettuce, Radishes, To-
matoes, Cucumbers, etc., are consumed.
There are a few floriculturists also here,
notably Fred C. Witthuhn, president of
the club. Most of the stock grown here
is disposed of in the? retail store on West
25th St..

A novel and interesting stunt was a
demonstration of the sterilizing of soil
by one of the market gardeners. An-
other demonstrated how they remove
grime from greenhouse glass with acid.
In the evening a supper was served and
there surely are some good cooks in the
Shaff rd. section.

After supper, President Witthuhn
called on several members for speeches
and then the members left for their vari-
ous homes feeling that Nov. 23 was a day
well spent. Chakles Imbrie Kent.

The Market

Nov. 27. — At last the glut of flow-
ers has passed and conditions in the mar-
kets here are normal. The successive
black frosts of the past week destroyed
the last vestiges of the outofdoor stock
and under glass goods are all that are
being received. Prices consequently have
gone back to a wholesome basis, and all
commission and wholesale dealers were
wearing broad smiles this week. This is
a welcome sight, for lines of worry were
covering the faces of all classes of store-
men until the unseasonable warm spell
broke. The change was accompanied by
a dash of snow which rapidly disap-
peared but left the crisp coolness.

First commercial shipments of Violets
arrived this week from the greenhouses
of A. Hitz at North Madison, Ind. They
were good in color and odor and sold
readily at $1 to $1.50 per 100. Chadwick
and Seidewitz 'Mums also arrived in
quantities, but the demand was able to
take the supply and floors of commission
houses were rapidly cleared. First pots
of Cyclamen also arrived from the plant
of C. C. Miller of Covington, Ky. Sun-
shine Chrysanthemums made their ap-
pearance also and sold quickly to city
retailers at $4 to $5 per doz. General
stock and supplies went well to the local
trade as well as by mail orders from cus-
tomers up and down the Ohio River and
up-State. Roses of all kinds were scarce
and hurry calls had to be made to Chi-
cago to replenish supplies.

Wedding's, receptions, coming out par-
ties and theatre parties kept retailers on
their toes and storemen were importuned
continually to get "an extra 200 of Pre-
miers," or Columbias or Ophelias. Fu-
neral orders were light but concerts and
club meetings kept the trade active. First
shipments of Boxwood arrived in quanti-
ties and went rapidly for house decora-
tions.

Commission houses have decided not to
handle Holly this Christmas on account
of disastrous experiences of last year.
They will leave this business to the prod-
uce men. Heavy advance orders for
Christmas trees are being placed with
Vermont houses.

Large shipments of Tennessee Laurel
are looked for and the receipts of Poin-
settias are expected to be large. These
will be supplied by Cincinnati district
florists. The wholesale trade here is
strong for the "buy at home" idea and
has adopted the policy of taking the
product of Cincinnati and nearby florists
at all times in preference to any other,
except when the local trade is bare of
supplies. White and red Carnations were
received in large consignmnts, both last
and this week. The crop is abundant and
the condition of shipments is good. The
demand for Coontie leaves, Ferns and
Lily of the Valley holds up well and Cy-
pripediums, Sweet Peas, Snapdragons,
Paperwhite Narcissi and Red Wister
Berries were added to the quotable lists
by wholesalers this week.

Trade Notes

Nov. 27. — Some 30 members of the
newly organized Retail Florists Associa-
tion of Cincinnati met last Thursday and
took further steps toward perfecting their
organization. Some 20 applications from
florists of the Cincinnati district were re-
ceived, and it was stated by members that
it was hoped by the first of the year to
make the association representative of
every florist and storekeeper in the near-
by territory.

Reports received indicated that the re-
tail flower business is entering an era of
unexampled prosperity in this section.
The Thanksgiving trade is proving the
largest in many years, and retailers have
had difficulty in keeping abreast with the
demand. Sales principally are Chrysan-
themums, Roses, Carnations and Snap-
dragons, but there is a good demand for
Lilies of the Valley, Violet and pot plants.

Another meeting of the florists will be
held Nov. 30, by which time Pres. C. J.
Jones of Walnut Hills Floral Bazaar ex-
pects to have the charter and be ready
to announce the total strength of the
membership. The recent meeting was held
at the store of Julius Baer, when it was
announced that Charles E. Critchell,
wholesaler of cut flowers, who has been
ill for some time, was materially improved
in health. E. L. Hawes

Omaha, Neb.

The Market

Chrysanthemums seem to be
abundant in most cases — yet the market
is much stronger than a week ago. Many
of the growers were cleaning up their
crops early this week, and in this sec-
tion of the State everyone will have
finished by Thanksgiving.

The wholesalers are holding out for S>2
and $3 per doz. for Bonnaffons, and $4
and $5 for Chadwick and Golden Wed-
ding ; there are few exceptions where
Chadwick and Seidlitz will bring $6 per
doz. wholesale this week. The funny part
of the 'Mum situation is that prices
were butchered all along in midseason,
and now that it is nearly over up they
go. The people cannot figure out why
there is such a difference — from 19c.
each a week ago to 50c. and 75c. each
now. Pompons are a scarce article. In
fact at no time this Fall were they in
any too heavy supply in the local mar-
ket. This was mainly because many
were wholesaled to foreign markets.

Roses are moving fairly well with
prices a shade better than last week. In
fact better values are to be had in
Roses than in 'Mums. Some wonderful
Russells and Premiers are coming in
now. Prices vary from 3c. and 4c. for
shorts to 20c. and 25c, for the longer
Premiers, which are the heavy end of
the market this week. The color, stem
and size of bud are marvelous. Am.
Beauty are running from 20c. to 50c.
each, and are cleaning up nicely. All
wholesalers and growers are thoroughly
convinced that the mistake of letting all
Roses crop around Christmas will not
happen again this year as it did last
year.

Carnations are none too plentiful out-
side of whites. The quality is fine and
prices run from $4 to $6 per 100. Local
Violets are short but plentiful, going beg-
ging at 50c. per 100. Nearby towns are
crying for sales of better stock at 75c.
per 100. Calendulas are increasing in
supply daily, but the demand is weak at
3c. and 4c.

Small lots of short Snapdragon are
coming in at 4c. and 5c. with fine color
and stem. This crop as a whole looks
better this year. Callas are very scarce
and easily sell at $3 per doz. Paper-
whites are coming in, and while the flow-
ers are not large or heavy, they move
nicely at 6c.

Valley is coming in again, and is going
fairly well at 6e. and 8c. Orchids are
scarce at $2 each. Among the plants are
Cyclamen, Solanums and Peppers.

Cold Weather Stiffens Prices

Real cold weather has started, with
temperatures in the country around the
twenties. As Thanksgiving Day ap-
proaches prices are stiffening. Roses,
however, have been plentiful, with the_ ex-
ception of whites and reds. Carnations
are improving wonderfully and prices
range from 3c. to 5c; of course, left
overs are cheaper, but these are mostly
in the dark colors. 'Mums are letting up
especially in the small varieties and the
supply for Thanksgiving will be mostly
of the larger sorts.

Owing to many prominent funerals and
social events, business the past week has
been fairly good, but transient trade has
slowed up some. This seems generally the
case before some special holiday, but
everything points to a good Thanksgiving

business with prices reasonable!. The
wholesalers are already showing Christ-
mas novelties and advices tell of big sup-
lies of good Holly and Mistletoe. In
greens the supply of Lycopodium is lim-
ited. Small Christmas trees will soon be
on sale, miniature ones on stands of good
color. Japanese Frieze, Ruscus and vari-
ous artificial decorations are on the coun-
ters of the wholesalers who handly sup-
plies.

Grimm & Gorly had a special sale of
cut 'Mums Friday and Saturday. The
price was 23c, in lots of ten delivered.

* * * Ostertag Bros.' delivery cars are
seen around always with floral decora-
tions advising the public to "Say it with

Already there is talk about a flower
show for next year. This shows that St.

vertising. The work of the Publicity
Committee will keep things moving and
make our slogan bear fruit.

Young's incorporated stores are keeping
busy and both are handsomely decor-
ated. * * * F. H. Weber's storeroom is
always a bower of beauty. The latest
floral novelties are always displayed
there and his arrangement of cut flow-
ers in baskets and other designs is much
admired. * * * W. A. Rowe is supplying
the wholesale market with lots of well
grown 'Mums and Carnations. His con-
signments go to A. L. Gunz and H. G.
Berning.

At H. G. Berning's the supply of all
varieties of cut flowers is keeping up.
Some extra fancy Milady Roses and
specially fine Premiers and Columbias
were noticed. * * * The St. Louis Seed
Co. will have its usual big supply of Holly
and Mistletoe; also a big line of Christ-
mas novelties. * * * The Windier
Wholesale Floral Co. is handling some
of the best local stock consigned to this
market. Its new quarters provide in-
creased display room. Holiday novelties
are now coming in.

The Wm. C. Smith Wholesale Floral
Co. is displaying some good Roses and is
headquarters for good single Violets. * *

* C. A. Kuhne is out with choice stock in
Roses and Carnations and a good sup-
ply of novelties. * * * The next meeting of
the St. Louis Florists Club will be held
at the new quarters of the Windier
Wholesale Floral Co. * * * Ted Horn is
slowly convalescing and all the boys are
anxious to see him back at his post at
H. G. Berning's. * » * George Kuehner is
handling everything with his usual smile.
The boss takes a turn every once in a
while and, wow! he sure knows how to

A Parallel

Elsewhere we quote the remarks of a
W. Virginian Coal Co., relating to gov-
ernmental help. By a coincidence, the
general secretary of the Horticultural
Trades Association (British) airs his
views thusly in the latest issue of the
Horticultural Advertiser. These views
are interesting to say the least, and we
quote them in part:

"But apart from these general needs
(which every industry has) for reduced
taxation and improved transport and
postal facilities, what does the industry
want from the Government? Chiefly to
be left alone. These departments and of-
ficials so anxious to "help" the trade,
as they call it when they interfere, do
best from the traders' standpoint when
they do least. Horticultural trade has
suffered severely from 'inspectors' and
'regulations' during the past few years,
and the patronage of ministers and offi- -
cials has not resulted in the least good to
the trade. They have steadily, if polite-
ly, turned a deaf ear to its requests,
with one exception — the request by the
H. T. A. Council to the Ministry to send
out Mr. Lobjoit to America to combat
Quarantine 37. And certainly the credit
of that lies with Mr. Lobjoit himself rath-
er than with his Ministry or the Gov-
ernment.

"The truth is the trade has little to
hope for from any government. It must
face its own problems by individual ef-
fort and with the help of its trade or-
ganization. While it has little to hope for,
it may have much to fear from govern-
ment interference (^helpfulness' is the
new word for it). And the quicker all of
us in the trade realize the fact that the
nursery trade and seed trade must look
after its own interests, the better."

Trade Notes

Seasonable weather has at last
made its appearance ; frost and snow and
bright and sunny instead of dull wet and
mild. 'Mums are still the favorite flower,
and some nice stock is coming in. Roses
are in good shape considering weather
conditions. Carnations are arriving in
fair numbers and good in quality. Other
stock, excepting Pompon and Single
'Mums is scarce.

The Torontonians who aspire to hon-
ors on the show bench will have to look
to their laurels, as we of the East are
out to capture all and sundry as in the
case of W. C. Hall, who took first prize
for his six pots of Cyclamen at the
Winter show at the Exhibition Grounds,
held during the past week in Toronto.
I am told that they were in Sin. pots,
and were one mass of bloom. Then E.
Jones of Macdonald College showed them
in Toronto what could be done at a col-
lege as experimenters in the growing of
'Mums, mostly new varieties.

The Gardeners and Florists Club is
to have its annual dinner this year in
the Montreal West Town Hall ; a fine
place for this purpose. It is to be fol-
lowed by a dance when new and exclu-
sive dances "will be introduced. The Cor-
sage Skimmer, the Bouquet Scramble
and the Boutonniere Shuffle will, or will
not, be tried out. This event is staged
for Dec. 6, and a large assembly is ex-
pected. Mount Royal.

Ontario Gardeners and Florists

There was a record attendance at the
annual meeting of the Ontario Gardeners
and Florists Association on Nov. 20. Pres.

F. D. Clark presided and two new mem-
bers were proposed: Ernest Jones, New
Toronto, and Wm. Beazer, Todmorden.

The executive reported on a plan to
erect a bookcase in the meeting hall
where the library could be maintained for
the use of members. They recommended
the use of the proffered page in the
Canadian Florist and the appointment of
an editor to gather material on garden-
ing for this space as well as to use the
opportunity to further the idea of a
gardeners section of the C. F. G. A. The
directors thought that the term "pri-
vate" gardeners should be discouraged.
R. Heyward, librarian, in his annual re-
port, gave a list of books and periodicals
on hand. P. L. Whytock, representative
to the Royal Winter Fair, gave a progress
report, which showed that the number of
exhibits was far in excess of anticipations.
Reservations at shows he urged should be
made on time; Messrs Whytock, Geraghty
and Evans had had to revise the whole
layout of the building because of late
entries. The whole collection made one
of the finest flower shows yet held. A
full report will be submitted at the De-
cember meeting.

The Year's Awards

The annual report of the board of di-
rectors comprehensive review of the year's
work was presented by Secy. Alexander
Simpson. Nineteen new members were
added during the year and the constitu-
tion was revised and signed by the Minis-
ter of Agriculture. During the year
shows were held at the monthly meetings,
the following aggregate points were made:

Number of
_ „ Exhibits Points

R. E. Bessant 9 78

H. W. Izzard 9 71

S. McElroy 7 56

G. Thompson 4 29

J. Cripps 2 15

E. Argall 1 6

T. Grisswell 1 7

W. L. Whytock Certificate of Merit

In addition to the monthly prizes, two
prizes were awarded for the greatest
number of points made during the year.
These prizes went to R. E. Bessant, first,
and H. W. Izzard, second. During the
year addresses were given by W. E
Groves, W. T. Macoun, Prof. Tomlinson,
Prof. Crow, Thos. Manton, W. W. Gam-
mage, Chas. Chambers, W. J. Hill and
others.

An Appeal to Gardeners

The delegate to the C. F. G. A. recom-
mended: "That this association take steps
to form a section in the C. F. G. A. for
gardens," and it was decided to carry out
this recommendation. The following rea-
sons why gardeners should join the Gar-

Certification of Growing Stocks

The value of careful examination and certification was never so strongly
exemplified as it is just at present in the matter of Raspberry stock in the
Niagara fruit belt. During the past year or two mosaic and leaf-curl diseases
have been so serious that many growers are wondering if they will have to cease
growing Raspberries. The Dominion Pathological Laboratory, under its local
officer, is giving careful attention both to the disease and to the available clean
stock in the district. There are just a few patches of the leading varieties that
have been certified and planters are advised by the Department to buy only this
certified stock. A development is that growers are urged to have their planta-
tions inspected with a view to certification, a further good result of which will be
a direct incentive to keep out disease. Incidentally they will be the gainer in
dollars and cents, for the time appears to be quickly coming when certified stock
only will be planted.

For exactly tie same reasons seed Potatoes are coming under similar treat-
ment. The Department of Agriculture has quite recently stated that the impor-
tance of the Potato crop in Canada is such that it is necessary to take the strong-
est steps to combat the diseases previously mentioned if the commercial seed
stock is to be kept in condition fit for dissemination from year to year. The same
process of certification is going on with this crop and any recent improvements
are attributed to the more general use of certified seed. This appears to be a
much needed step in the right direction. There is a tendency on the part of the
entomologists to worry a whole lot about imports and altogether overlook the
essentials right in our midst. For instance a large number of Berberis are on
the prohibited list as far as imports are concerned, but nothing has been done
to check the propagation and distribution of the same varieties in the Dominion.
The present situation in the Niagara fruit belt will probably cause some real
thinking among those who are responsible.

Canadian Nurserymen's Association Projected

For some time a number of the Canadian nurserymen have felt the need of
forming themselves into an association and a quiet but very definite work of
preparation has been going on. Notices have now been mailed calling an organi-
zation meeting for Dec. 5, for which a really pretentious program is being prepared.
Sen. E. D. Smith, the provisional president, is to take the chair for the meeting,
which is expected to last the entire day. A constitution has to be adopted, and
officers are to be elected, and reports of recent work done will be presented.
A code of ethics is to be considered and an address by the Assistant Dominion
Fruit Commissioner will open a discussion on the desirability of elminating a
number of undesirable varieties of fruit. The nurserymen of Canada are not
very numerous, but they are becoming keenly alive to their common interests.
There is every hope that the new association will make for a higher plane in the
important nursery business.

Canadian National Exhibition Flower Day

The great exhibition held at Toronto each year is becoming so widely known
that the announcement of a possible Flower Day will be of vital interest to the
profession. It has been intimated to the Canadian Florists and Gardeners Asso-
ciation that the exhibition directorate will be willing to make arrangements to
feature flowers on one of the exhibition days, provided some cooperation is forth-
coming from the profession and others interested. The matter is being infor-
mally considered at present, and the C. F. G. A. is securing the opinions of many
of its members. Local florists and gardeners societies are discussing the venture
as is also the Ontario Horticultural Association, which is made up of local ama-
teur societies. An early conference on the whole question is anticipated and it
is felt that the scheme can be put through successfully. The educational value of
such a day is almost, unlimited, and this fact is fully realized by those who are
keenly interested in the project.

Canadian Medal of Honor

For the first time in Canadian horticultural history a medal of honor is
shortly to be awarded for worthy work. J. E. Carter of Guelph, Ont., an enthu-
siastic amateur horticulturist, has generously offered the Canadian Horticultural
Council the sum of $100 a year to be spent for a gold medal for the purpose
named. A special committee has been appointed to prepare conditions and ap-
prove a design.

At the annual meeting of the Council in March the committee will submit
for approval the name of the person most deserving of the Carter Medal of
Honor, the name by which this trophy is to be perpetuated. It is expected that
this award will be placed on a similar plane to the British Victoria Medal of
Honor. The utmost enthusiasm has already been shown over the establishment
of this award and it will certainly be a great incentive to horticultural efforts
in the Dominion. w. E. Groves.

deners and Florists Association were for-
mulated:

_ "The Gardeners and Florists Associa-
tion is a society recognized by the gov-
ernment for the advancement of horti-
culture in all its branches, among garden-
ers, florists and their assistants: (1) By
lectures, in haying the leading men give
talks and lead in the discussion in various
lines. (2) By exhibits at the monthly
meetings of the best specimens of plants
and cut flowers grown in the district. The
presiding officer elects two judges to re-
port on the exhibits awarding points.

Their report is discussed and in this way
the members learn to know and judge a
specimen. (3) By organized Summer trips
to see and discuss the landscape features
of places chosen by a committee. (4) By
having representatives on the boards of
the Canadian National Exhibition and
Royal Winter Fair and assisting in the
displays. (5) By cooperating with the
C. F. G. A. through its section for gar-
deners and the Council of Horticulture,
on questions such as plant registration,
judging scales, etc. (6) Through a library
containing a good collection of books and

leading journals on horticulture such as
The Florists Exchange, Canadian
Florist, etc. (7) Through question box,
which brings matters before the meetings
for discussion.

President Clark in his presidential ad-
dress recommended that the Botanical
Garden scheme he supported, that the
registration of plants receive the club's
support and that a membership campaign
be undertaken.

A hearty vote of thanks was tendered
the president and secretary-treasurer.

There was an excellent display of
plants. That of the Allen Gardens re-
ceived special mention, but was not en-
tered for competition. The judges were:

E. F. Collins, Toronto, and Oliver Camp-
bell, Oshawa. Points were awarded as
follows: Cypripedium Aletas, F. Perry, 9;
Cypripedium Hannibal, T. Graham, 8;
Insignia Sandirea, G. Thompson, S; Car-
nations (Hope Henshaw), J". Cripps, 6;
Cyclamen, E. A. Cartwright, (5 flowers)
5; and (4 flowers) 4; Dracaena, S. McEl-
roy, 3.

General Notes

Hall & Robinson, florists, Montreal,
have had a new registration under the
same firm name. It is understood that
Wm. Hall will devote his time in future
to growing at Montreal West, where he
has registered under the name Wm. C.
Hall.

W. J. Stephen, Crop Commissioner of
the Alberta Government, Edmonton, Alta.,
will attend the seed, show at Chicago.

There are 108 floriculture exhibits and
253 seed exhibits at the Royal Winter
Fair, Toronto.

Mr. Probitts sailed for England on
Nov. 27.

W. H. Izzard is recovering from his
operation and will leave the hospital in
a few days. G. C. K.

Newport, R. I.

Nov. 28. — A notable event the past week
was the coming of age of Wm. H. Vander-
bilt, on the 24th inst., when he came into
possession of the many millions and of
Oakland Farm, left to him by his father,
the late Alfred G. Vanderbilt. The place
had been kept up in good condition for
him, but everything was brightened up for
the fancy dress ball, given Friday even-
ing for the occasion, held in the large
show ring or Riding Academy.

The decorations, floral and electrical,
were in the family colors, red and white.
Oscar: Schultz arranged the floral part,
using much Southern Smilax and many
Chrysanthemums. The new owner ap-
peared in the garb of a farm hand.

Business is good. A. McL.

It is estimated that one million wild
ferns have been shipped from Couderay,
Wis., the past few weeks to florists in
Chicago and Milwaukee. The picking
and packing is all done by Indians, who
find it a profitable employment every
Fall.

The Market

Tuesday, Nov. 28. — On Wednesday
and Thursday of last week, the arrivals
of stock were abundant, and the demand
only medium. On Friday the demand be-
gan to be more active and prices began to
be a little higher and firmer. On Satur-
day, both the demand and prices snowed
a further increase. On Monday of this
week there was a continuance of the bet-
ter conditions which began on Friday of
last week, and today, Tuesday, arrivals
of all items of stock, with one or two ex-
ceptions, are normally large for the sea-
son, and the demand is larger and the
prices higher than they have been any
day since last December.

American Beauty Roses are in medium
supply and are selling at 6c. to 75c. each,
covering all grades from No. 2 to specials;
the range of price of the latter grade be-
ing from 35c. to 75c. each. Other Roses
are in moderately large supply. The de-
mand for No. 2 and No. 1 grade blooms
is decidedly active, but that for the top
grade blooms is relatively not so large.
Prices are higher and firmer. Top grade
blooms are selling at from 10c. to 40c,
covering all varieties. No. 2 grade
blooms are fetching $5 to $6 per 100.

_ There is a medium supply of Carna-
tions, which are meeting with an active
demand at $4 to $8, and in occasional
sales of the preferred varieties, $10 per
100.

Cattleyas are in comparatively short
supply; blooms of the variety of Pereiv-
aliana are selling at 75c. to $1 each, and
those of Labiata and Trianfe at $1.50 to
$2 each. The demand is readily absorb-
ing the present supply. There is an in-

creasing supply of Cypripediums, which
are bringing $3 to $4, and occasionally $5
per dozen. Gardenias continue to be in
short supply as far as those of quality are
concerned. The demand is taking these
up at $3 to $5 per doz. The moderate
supply of Lily of the Valley, in response
to a larger demand is selling at $4 to i
$10 a 100. White Lilies, which are in
medium supply, are selling at $15 to $25
per 100, and Rubrum Lilies at $10 to
$15, the short stemmed flowers of rub-
rums having nearly doubled in price since
last week. The not overlarge supply of
Bouvardia is going out none too fast at
50c. to $1 per bunch.

There are only a few Callas in the mar-
ket, which are selling at $1.50 to $3 per
doz.; the only other bulbous flower seen
in addition to the Callas and Lilies is
Paperwhite Narcissus in increasing sup-
ply, selling at 50e. to 75c. a bunch.

Chrysanthemums are still the dominant
flower in the market. The arrivals of
all seasonable varieties and all types are
large and the demand is active. They
are selling at $1 per doz. for the smaller
and more insignificant blooms, up to $5
a doz. for fine stock. In addition to
these, there are a few extra fine blooms
of preferred varieties coming into the
market, which are selling at from $6 to
$7.50 a doz. Among these is the variety
December Beauty. Bunch 'Mums of ex-
cellent quality are in the market today
in large numbers. Among these we note
Mrs. Godfrey, both pink and bronze, Sun-
shine, Christmas Gold, Jane Ingalls and
many others. The prices of bunch 'Mums
range from 30c. to 60c. and 75c. each.

As regards the Violet situation, the
sales for the football games for Saturday
of last week, as far as the double varie-
ties and single variety, Gov. Herrick were
concerned, were somewhat of a disap-
pointment. The doubles sold up to $1.50

a 100, and that is the price for fresh
flowers today. But many intended for
sales at the games were left unsold and
had to be disposed of in the early days
of this week at 30c. to 50c. a 100. Her-
ricks for the games sold at $1 per 100.
Many of these also were left over and
went for 50c. to 75c. a hundred. The
price today for fresh flowers of this va-
riety is $1 a 100. The variety Princess
of Wales, which is in short supply, sold
out entirely for the games at $1.50 a 100;
that is the price today.

In miscellaneous flowers there are now
in the market a moderate supply of An-
tirrhinum, a small supply of Myosotis, a
few Sweet Peas and increasing arrivals
of Stevia, all of which are meeting with
a fair demand at quoted prices.

All greens are meeting with a good de-
mand, keeping pace with the increased
sales of cut flowers.

Thanksgiving Day

At this writing, it is too early to
state positively what the volume of the
sales of flowers for use on this day will
be, but heavier buying in the wholesale
market by the retailers in the early days
of this week, would indicate that either
they have many orders booked for de-
livery on Thanksgiving Day or that they
believe that there will be a considerable
sale of flowers for that day. Indications
at this writing, Tuesday, Nov. 28, are
that the sales of cut flowers at retail on
Wednesday and on Thanksgiving Day
morning, will at least be as large as usual
at such a period.

News Gleanings

Charles F. Porman, manager of the
Hensliaw Ploral Company's Florist Sup-
ply Department, reports that his compauy
is m receipt of a large importation of
jardinieres, pedestals and vases, also of
bowls, both for bulb growing and for
holding flowers. They have also an ex-
clusive line of baskets and Christmas nov-
elties. These goods are being offered not
only at their New York store, 43 West
18th St., but also at their Newark, N. J.,
store. They also are showing a full line

The Market

Nov. 28. — All the untoward condi-
tions that have for some time mitigated
against the best interests of the whole-
sale cut flower market have passed one
by one. The passing was sure, but rath-
er long delayed. There was a gradual
change for the better the past week, every
day being an improvement over its pre-
decessor until the market opened Monday
with its old time activity. A big busi-
ness for the week is already assured. The
shipping was heavy Monday while Tues-
day is the big shipping day to long dis-
tance points. The orders are coming .in
by wire, telephone and mail and a de-
mand is already felt. There is a good
supply of stock but nothing of an un-
wieldy character. It is believed there
will be enough of everything to meet the
increased demand so that all orders can
be filled to the limit without any weak-
ening in prices.

Roses, in a general way, are in good
supply, but just a little unbalanced, there
being more of the long and fancy grades
than of the shorts and mediums. Not all
of the orders for short stock are being
filled, while the fancy grades need push-
ing. The quality throughout is good;
some excellent Premier, Columbia, Mme.
Butterfly and Crusader are in the offer-
ings. The prices are of a wide range,
short stock bringing $6 per 100 and from
this figures range to $15 and $20 for
medium and on up to $35 and $40 for
fancy long stock.

Carnations are in good demand with
the supply slightly short of the call. A
firm minimum price of $6 was established
on all outgoing orders Monday and Tues-
day.

The 'Mums, as always, are a strong fac-
tor on the Thanksgiving market. The
supply is good, but it is believed there
will be sufficient demand to make a good
cleanup. With the exception of a few
extremely late varieties the demand of
the present week will practically close the
season. Prices range from $2 to $6 per

doz. Pompons, too, are in good demand,
the yellow and bronze being the best
sellers.

Sunshine, a disbudded Anemone Pom-

There is a fair supply of Easter Lilies
at $25 per 100. Valley is firm at $8.
There are a good many Catleyas and
Cypripediums, and a few Oncidiums.
Sweet Peas are not in large supply, and
what there are brings from $1.50 to $2 per
100 when the quality is good. Paperwhite
Narcissi are seen at all the houses and sell
at from $5 to $6 per 100. There are both
single and double Violets at from $1 to
$1.50 per 100.

Stevia is plentiful and is bringing from
$3 to $4 pef 100. The red WinterBerries
are featured all over the market; they
come in small cases and sell for $2.50 per
case. There is an abundance of greens.
Boxwood is in good demand, and Kalmia
latifolia, the Mountain Laurel from the
Tennessee and North Carolina mountains
is becoming more popular all the time as
a decorative evergreen. The first Holly
has made its appearance, and Mistletoe
will be here" within the next ten days.
All indications are that there will be ex-
cellent business in all lines of stock from
now on until well after the Christmas
holidays.

The Chicago Flower Growers Associa-
tion is offering fancy Premier Roses and
fancy Chrysanthemums, the latter includ-
ing a large vase of the old prize winner,
Golden Wedding. * * » The Weiland-
Risch Co. is cutting some good Angelus
and Golden Ophelia Roses. AVhile whites
and light colored Roses are not much in
demand for holiday occasions, John Risch
says it always pays to keep some stock
on hand as the public looks for variety;
besides there are weddings even now, when
white Roses must be had. A fine vase of
America, from the Hill establishment at
Richmond, is on exhibition in the store.
* * * Bert Chadwick at the E. C.
Auiling Co. states that late Chrysanthe-
mums are bringing good prices. Roses are
of fine quality, and prices are satisfactory
to th& growers. * * *

Albert Fuchs, reputed millionaire apart-
ment house owner and retired florist, man-
ages to get his name in the city papers a
great deal. In the present case he is

husband's affections!

News Notes

Arthur Christensen has resigned his
position with Art Bloom & Co. to assume
the management of Wm. F. Schofield's
new store on Sheridan rd. A. G. Bates,
recently with the Poehlmann Bros. Co.,
and formerly of Cleveland, O., has suc-
ceeded Mr. Christensen at the Bloom es-
tablishment.

H. P. Manson, formerly of the Pine-
hurst Floral Co., Kansas City, Mo., is
now connected with the wholesale cut
flower department of the Poehlmann Bros.
Co., in their new store, 163 to 165 N. Wa-
bash ave. The company is cutting a fine
supply of Roses, and have for Thanks-
giving trade, some superb Chadwick
'Mums as well as Cattleyas and Cypripe-
diums.

Mrs. A. Engbrecht, wife of the well-
known florist, A. Engbrecht, 2159 W. 21st
pi., died Nov. 22. Mr. Engbrecht is the
recipient of much sympathy from his nu-
merous friends.

Apart from the increased use of flowers,
brought about by the movement in favor
of "Cheer Monday," when flowers and
smiles are to supplant the! "blues," there
is another strong factor which will still
further increase their use. The Piggly-
Wiggly stores, an extensive chain of
which covers every section of the city,
announce in a page ad in the city papers
that every customer at their stores on
Fridays will be presented with a Carna-

tion or other seasonable flower. Let the
good work go on.

The proposed trip by representatives of
the Chicago Florists Club to Milwaukee,
in response to the invitation to join the
Milwaukee club in its annual dance and
entertainment, failed to materialize from
one cause or another. Victor Bergman
and his wife were the only representatives
from here.

The Poehlmann Bros. Co. have leased
the services of the Lincoln Tavern, the
well-known road house at Morton Grove,
for Dec. 7, for the purpose of entertain-
ing the Chicago Florists Club. After the
inspection tour of the greenhouses, the
entire party will repair to the Tavern
for the remainder of the entertainment,
which will include addresses by well-
known florists, refreshments and the
monthly meeting of the club, which in-
cludes the election of officers for the en-
suing year.

A new store will shortly open at 182
W. Madison st., under the name of Briggs
Floral Co.

A Story from the Market

Nov. 28. — Once upon a time, dear
brothers, there was a man. What sort of
man he was you will know when you
read this. He also was a florist, which
fact may explain a lot. Look at the
right way, he must have been two florists,
a good one and a bad one. Well, it hap-
pened that this man grew a lot of flow-
ers, good ones, too. It was like falling
off a log for him to grow big 'Mums,
clean, healthy Carnations and large, pure
white Callas. That was the good part
of him; he was good at growing good
flowers good.

Now, brothers, watch the story, for
even if it has no end, it is chuck full of
moral. This good man was also bad;
very bad in a way. Maybe he did not
know how bad he was; again, maybe he
did and did not want to own up to it. He
was not a bad man in a moral or Chris-
tian way. Never got "soused" or beat
up his wife; never went away from his
greenhouses; never joined any florist
club ot other organization. ■ E\« jus*t
worked and grew good flowers and that
is just why he was bad. Fellow citizens
and florists! if that man had ever come
to. Boston, say to Winthrop .sq., where all
the good flowers eventually land, he would
have seen how his good flowers looked
wrhen they got there.

Now, brothers, do you smell a rat? He
was absolutely bad because he was a bad
shipper and no matter how good he grew
Ms good flowers, he made them bad the
minute he packed them in the boxes.

Again, he showed what a good man he
was because he used only the best and
cleanest boxes he could buy. Strange you
say to buy good boxes to make good flow-
ers bad. If you, my brothers, had stood
near to see that man's flowers taken out
of the boxes, you would have called an
ambulance — not for the flowers, but for
yourselves, because you would have thrown
fits to see good flowers packed the way
that good-bad man packed his good flow-
ers and to see how bad they were when
the salesman took them out of the boxes.
And now, my brothers, there is worse
to come; yes, and plenty of it. It's be-
coming a sad story, before we are much
further. There was another man. A
nice, roly-poly American-grown citizen,
brought up in a Christian way and hav-
ing a nice wife and family. What has
happened to him? Let me whisper the
horrid details. This second man was a
salesman in the flower market. Now, I
do not mean, to suggest that all the sales-
men in the market are angels or better
than they ought to be; not by a long
sight. But our salesman was good. No-
tice, I say "was good," for he is that no
more, since he undertook to unpack the
flowers which the other man sent to him
so that he might receive glistening gold
in exchange. I warn you now, my broth-
ers. Don't ever go near that salesman
when he is unpacking flowers, for you
will speedily shake off your mortal coil
and you will congregate in the hereafter
with an overpowering smell of brimstone
clinging to your epidermis. The probabil-
ities are that that perfume would not at-
tract much attention where you might
congregate.

But don't let us trail off into the fu-
ture; we will get there soon enough. As
I said, that salesman acts exceedingly
bad when he unpacks those flowers. He
does more. He forgets all about his
bringing up and about his nice wife and
family and, I am awful sorry to mention
it, he indulges in profane and decidedly
terrific language; such language as would
blister the hide of a brass monkey. This
is the way he goes: "Oh! by the everlast-
ing, long-legged . kangaroo, look at these
Callas, some rip-roaring, bangfoozled rhi-
noceros must have danced a fox trot on
them. And these big Chrysanthemums!
Holy Moses! who do you think used them
for a pillow last night, or have they
dropped from an air plane? Oh! mamma,
hold me tight, I am going to explode. A
mess of half decent sauerkraut would
look a million times better in a vase than
these slam-banged fuzzy-wuzzies ever will.
Oh, my blinky-dinky stars. See what that
never-eare-one-hoot hick has done again.
Took special pains, it seems, to lay the butts
of one layer of flowers right on top of
the heads of the other layer and never
anything between. And I am expected to
sell these squashed, smashed, everlastingly
ruined Bonnaffons and Ragers for a lot
of simoleons. If I had that apology for
a packer here just for the wink of a lamb's
tail, his head would look worse than these.
I would squash it and I would smash it
and I would put these flowers on his
grave for, believe me, friends, that man
would be dead, absolutely dead, after I
got through with him. And here is a
box of Carnations. Look at them. See
how they are bunched. See the broken-
off flowers in the bottom! Now, do me
one favor, friends; go far away. Give

me plenty of room, if you do not wish t
get hurt, for I am distracted; my mind i
wabbling and my dander is up. I ai
going to color the atmosphere aroun
here with blue and sulphury streaks;
am going to roar and use violent languag |
and, in between, I am going to hatch , j
plan and think up a new wrinkle on hm j
to make a man change his packing,
have gone to him before, many a time
Have gone on my knees before him an
it has helped naught. What is worse \
there are many of him."

Massachusetts Horticultural Societ;

At the annual meeting of the Mas
sachusetts Horticultural Society, on No\
18, the following officers were elected fo
the year 1923: President, Albert C. Bui

gent, Mrs. Bayard Thayer, Thomas Ro
land, John S. Ames. There are now fou

Rocco Zeparo who started in business a
53 Winter St., Arlington, Mass., one yea
ago, is well satisfied with the way thing
have come to him. His place is locatec
near the main thoroughfare and contain
three greenhouses and considerable lam
for planting and display. He has jus
moved into his new dwelling on the place
which is a model of convenience, witl
hardwood floors throughout. The larges
greenhouse, 200ft.x40ft., is half filled witl
Bonnaffon, and other Chrysanthemun.s
of which he has cut a fine crop o '
blooms already. Pompons and Singles ari
also grown. The other half of the housi
is filled with French Hydrangeas iidi
Cleveland Cherries. In the other twil
houses are to be found four benches witl
extra fine Begonia Melior Cincinnati am
Peterson, a handsome lot of Cyclamen,
and some extra well grown Poinsettias
Boston ferns and about a thousand Cine
rarias, besides 3000 Lilies in pots. Con
sidering that Mr. Zeparo does nearly al
the work alone, the place looks wonder
fully clean, but we may mention he work
from 16 to 18 hours a day and think
nothing of it.

Nov. 28. — More and more the trend of
modern times indicates that the cure for
most evils lies in education. Nowhere is
this more apparent than in the Chrysan-
themum market this Fall. Quantities of
poor Major Bonnaffon were left over at
nearly all the wholesalers' Saturday night,
Nov. 25. The education of the grower
is already half accomplished. The matter
of proper varieties, at least, is fairly well
understood. The chief trouble is that one
grower knoweth not what his brother
doeth. A good Chrysanthemum is one
which stands the test of marketing — not
the mere opinion of the grower, even
though that grower be a man of many
years' experience.

The question of color is another point
in the education of the grower necessary.
There was too much yellow last week.
If the poor stock and shorts had been
white or pink they might have cleaned
up. At least they would have had a bet-
ter chance. Packing is another complaint
of the wholesaler. Newspaper is not a
wrapping which will preserve the quality
of really good Chrysanthemums. Prices
for the most part ranged around $1 and
$2 per doz. They show a slight improve-
ment at the time of writing. The week
ended with the Army-Navy game, but ex-
tra business was not particularly wonder-
ful. The retailers in the downtown dis-
trict generally made a number of sales to
football fans so the day was not consid-
ered a poor one.

The Florists Exchange

The present week opened stronger and
indications are for a good Thanksgiving
with a fairly tight market following. Eoses
are doing well. Many growers pinched
for Thanksgiving and Christmas and the
demand has exceeded the supply in many
varieties. Carnations have not been in
actual demand, but at the time of writ-
ing, it is picking up and prices are rising
accordingly. Laddie is expected to exceed
6c. before the end of the week. Easter
Lilies were a little shy today.

News Notes

Carl Corts says he is through with
Chrysanthemums for the season. He is
well satisfied with this year's results. We
noticed excellent White Killarney and Co-
lumbia Roses here last week.

A tour of the market Nov. 27 revealed
fine Christmas Gold Pompons at Clias. E.
Meehan; Seidewitz at the Philadelphia
Growers Cut Flower Co., and nice Snap-
dragon at Wm. J. Baker's. Chadwick
'Mums at Berger Bros, were very fine
and some Jenny Nonin at George Aeugle's
were beyond reproach. Jack Deutscher
somehow manages to keep excellent Valley
coming in.

The Charles Zimmer estate at West
Collingswood has been sold and the glass
will be dismantled. It is planned to turn
the establishment into a coal yard.

George Cook, well known member of
the Independent's baseball team, is no
longer connected with the Wholesale Flo-
rists Exchange.

Our Express /'Service"

The Jos. G. Neidinger Co. had an
unpleasant experience Nov. 25. Swamped
with orders as they are and trying to get
shipments out as quickly as possible, Sat-
urday morning they were informed by the
American Express Co. that it could ac-
cept nothing more. This situation really
commenced Friday night. It did not end
until about noon Monday, Nov. 27. The
reason given at the express office was
that the freight embargoes have forced
freight shipments into express and
swamped the facilities for the latter.

Neidinger lost only one day, since Sat-
urday is a half holiday with them and
the express shipments were reopened Mon-
day noon, but the incident reveals the
weakness and inefficiency of a system
which collapses under the first sign of ex-
tra work.

Retail Notes

Bill Crawford of South Eleventh
st. has a new Ford delivery on the street.
As Bill puts it — a "Lincoln Junior."

Charles Henry Fox was planning to
move into his new store by the end of
the week.

The Army-Navy game was good busi-
ness— but several florists were disap-
pointed. One of the obvious reasons for
disappointment might lie in the fact that
the fakirs were selling yellow Chrysan-
themums on the street at 50c. to $1
apiece. Some say that if the Navy had
won business would have been better.
This is doubtful. The Pennsylvania-Cor-
nell game this week should mean more
good sales for Chrysanthemums.

Habermehl's at the Bellevue-Stratford,
perhaps, skimmed the cream of the sales
Nov. 25, since this hotel was Navy head-
quarters. The window was arranged with
a life sized mule and goat tugging one at
each end of a football, the whole decor-
ated with Army and Navy colors and
yellow Chrysanthemums.

The Reading Terminal Flower Shop
had a rush hour Saturday when the Army
and Navy supporters were getting ofi the
train before the game.

At T. Nielson Geiger's cigarette bou-
quets were sold during the week. Each
bouquet was tied up in Army and Navy
ribbon.

Boston — Continued from page 1504

Pansy is the champion and yet he did
what four or five husky men would hard-
ly dare to tackle, when it came to put
the good things down. Instead of look-
ing at the handsome posies in the green-
houses, he stuck around where the eats
were to be served and so managed to
grab the first and last bite. "Steady and
fast'' was his slogan and one after an-
other he "versenkte spurlos" 19 sand-
wiches. Mind you, they were ham sand-
wiches, but then there was no rabbi
about and so he did not care), twelve
big doughnuts, three plates of cakes, be-

sides a few other odds and ends pushed
down by five cups of coffee. When he
got that far, he became really hungry and
kind of thirsty, so four bunches of
Grapes, three Apples and two Oranges,
skins and all, joined the rest. You ought
to have seen his eyes pop out when he
"lamped" the ice cream. Four bricks,
two at a time,' slid past his palate, but
when he sprinted for another brick, fate
interfered. The train whistled and poor,
half-starved "Pansy" could give just one
more look, which took in all there was
left. On the way home he complained bit-
terly about what a shame it was to tear
him loose from a perfectly fine feed, just
when he was beginning to get hungry.

The Haymarket Florist, S. Michael, at
87 Canal st., close by the Union depot, is
greatly pleased with the way business has
favored him since he opened his store,
some eight months ago. The location is
a good one, especially for* transient trade,
but Mr. Michael has a lot of friends, be-
ing an up-to-date and hustling florist.

Alliance Starts Advertising

To remind the public that now is
the time when flowers bring cheerfulness
into the house and to let it be known
that now is the time when flowers can
be bought at a reasonable price, The Flo-
rists Alliance of Boston is displaying at-
tractive and well worded advertisements
in the Boston dailies. The advertisements
appear this week in a different paper
daily. The Alliance is also making ef-
forts to put over some full pages filled
with individual advertisements from the
florists of Boston and vicinity. Working
from the standpoint that "everlasting ham-
mering brings results," the Alliance has
embarked on a well thought-out advertis-
ing campaign and expects that trade will
do its part.

Trailing Arbutus has been brought to
Boston, last week, from Rockport, Me.,
where it has been found growing just as
fresh and sweet as in May.

Oil Fuel in Schools

The Boston, Post of Nov. 22 men-
tions that the task of Business Agent
Keough of the School Committee of ob-
taining the fuel supply for the schools, is
not quite so burdensome this year, because
of the fact that several of the school
buildings are now equipped with oil-burn-
ing apparatus. It is planned to gradually
equip all schools for the use of fuel oil.
That the janitors will hail the innova-
tion with glee is a foregone conclusion
from the standpoint of less work and dirt
if from no other.

Wm. Harmon & Son, Dorchester car-
ried out the handsome decorations for the
big Murphy wedding at Milton, last week.
The decorations at the home of the bride
and those at St. Margareth's Church were
done with white Chrysanthemums and
white Roses; 70 pews in the church, the
canopy and the wedding bell, displayed
the same flowers and seven cases of wild
Smilax furnished the green. Groups of
Palms, Crotous, Ferns and flowering
plants beautified the rooms and halls of
the bride's home.

A Long Delivery Trip

What constitutes, probably, the
longest distance delivery of plants, was
made last week by Wollrath & Sons of
Waltham, when Ernest Wollrath made
the trip of 331 miles to Saranac Lake,
N. Y., with the firm's big, new White
truck, loaded with Cyclamen plants. It
took Ernest just four days for the whole
trip. Upon his arrival at Saranac Lake,
he found the temperature to be four de-
grees above zero, and there was an inch
of snow on the ground. It is a common
occurrence with Wollrath & Sons to de-
liver plants as far as 150 miles, but 331
miles is something different. All the
same, Ernest did not mind, because, he
passed some grand scenery on the way.

Thomas Roland, who is installing oil-
burning equipment in his greenhouse
plant at Nahant, has finished the build-
ing of a 12,000 gallon oil tank which is
located in the boiler room, not more than
15ft. away from the front of the boilers,
and right underneath the main driveway
leading into the place. Probably at no
time previously has Christmas stock in
the greenhouses looked any better than
now. Not only is there an immense sup-
ply of Cyclamen, Begonias, Ericas, Or-
anges, Christmas Cherries, both red and
yellow,, and many sorts of foliage plants
and ferns, but it would be hard to find
a better looking or more robust lot any-
where.

At the Revere place the Roses are
simply grand and a walk through the
big houses does a fellow good. The big-
gest house, 650x76ft., contains 14 beds
which are planted with Premier, Colum-
bia, Double White Killarney, Ophelia
and Butterfly. The other two houses,
600ft. long and 60ft. and 50ft. wide,
respectively hold besides some of the va-
rieties mentioned, large blocks of Golden
Ophelia, Ward, Pilgrim,. Crusader and
Elgar, all in the pink of perfection. Supt.
A. A. Livermore certainly has his place
well in hand and need not feel ashamed
to show visitors around. There is a small
patch of a dark pink sport of Premier,
which originated here, and also a few
hundred plants of the beautiful yellow
Souv. de Claudius Pernet, which is being
tried out. Golden Ophelia is very much
liked and takes well in the market.

Wm. Sim, Cliftondale, is much pleased
with his new propagating house, which
he finished building only two or three
weeks ago. It is 300ft. long, containing
three, 3ft. benches with heat underneath
and it is already nearly filled with cut-
tings. It will hold 230,000 cuttings. Mr.
Sim is fortunate in possessing an inex-
haustible sand hole only a few feet away
from his propagating house, which fur-
nishes him with the finest kind of propa-
gating sand. He kind of smiles when he
tells how he has been buying all the
sand he needed up to this year, never
dreaming that thousands of tons lay right
under his feet.

The New Market

The transformation of the old Cy-
clorama Building into the new Flower
Exchange Market is going forward at a
rapid rate, over 100 workmen being on
the job, so that it is confidently expected
to have the new market ready for occu-
pancy by Jan. 1, even if some of the less
important details have to be finished
later. According to latest advices, the
cooling rooms in the market will be served
by a central, modern refrigerating plant.
It , has not been decided yet whether a
restaurant will be provided for in the
market or not.

Axel Magnussen of Manchester, Mass.,
who has made for himself a name as a
successful grower of plants and flowers, is
building another large greenhouse for
which the lumber has been secured at the
A. T. Stearns Lumber Co.

Anent the flower store recently opened
on Park sq., under the name, The Statler
Florist, by Julius Quint and George Gold-
berg, the Boston Post of Nov. 25 has the
following to say: "Although no spade of
soil has yet been turned in the ground
where it is planned a great hotel shall
stand near Park sq., some enterprising
and confident merchant has already opened
a store nearby and named it in honor
of the establishment he expects to see
erected there.

Corn Borer and 'Mums

The interstate quarantine against
the Corn borer is greatly interfering with
the sale and transportation of Chrysan-
themums and other flowers grown in Mas-
sachusetts and is responsible for many
red Chrysanthemums being left on the
salesmen's or grower's hands on Saturday,
Nov. 25, the day of the Harvard-Yale
football game at New Haven, Conn. A
day like this has usually called for every
available red Chrysanthemum in Boston,
while this year, owing to the lot of red
tape that has to be gone through when
making shipments or taking flowers into
Connecticut, many flowers were left in the
market. Of course, it is not such a big
job to have the flowers inspected and to
procure a proper certificate, but some
people will not go to the trouble.

John MacFarland, North Easton, is
mourning the loss of his mother who died
suddenly of heart failure, Nov. 21, at her
home in North Easton, at the age of 80
years and who was buried in the Unity
Cemetery, North Easton, on Nov. 24.

New York — Continued from page 1502

hand cutting tools which a florist or
flower grower or nurseryman would be
likely to need in his business. As Christ-
mas approaches, this department is ar-
ranging for a great variety of Christmas
wreaths, both natural and artificial. Or-
ders for these, even now, are coming in
fast, and prompt deliveries are being
made to avoid any disappointment on the
part of the buyers in the rush of around
holiday time.

Samuel C. Gilbert, 43 W. 18th st., is
known as the orchid specialist, and as far
as our observation goes during our weekly
calls, he well deserves the name, for he
always is in receipt of all that is the
best in our orchid blooms in the types
which belong to each particular season
of the year. This week a representative
of The Exchange noted some of the fin-
est blooms of the Cattleya Percivaliana
he ever saw, and also some splendid
blooms of the varieties Trianae and Labi-
ata. Besides the Cattleyas, we noted
that among other seasonable flowers, Mr.
Gilbert is receiving some wonderfully fine
blooms of the Carnation White Delight, a
very fragrant variety of excellent form.

Among the recent visitors in town were
E. Allen Peirce and George Moynse of
Waltham, Mass., and J. S. Hulme, who
represents the Lord & Burnham Co., At- I
lanta, Georgia.

There is no wholesale store in this
city which makes the handling of plants
.at wholesale its entire business. Some
of the wholesale, cut flower dealers, how-
ever, to accommodate their shippers who
grow some kinds of plants as well as
cut flowers, handle plants at wholesale.
We noted this week in the windows of .
the well known wholesale florist, W. P.
Ford, 107 W. 28th st., a large display of
handsome English Ivies, grown in a va-
riety of forms. These plants were sam-
ples, as it were, of what Mr. Ford is
handling for the grower. These certain-
ly are coming in very timely for the
Christmas holidays, which are near at
hand.

At the Kervan Co. 119 W. 28th st., we
note each week something new in the way
of a window display, something that is
timely. This week it was a ribbon win-
dow done in red ribbons, largely. Also,
red Ruscus, red frieze, berry bowls of red
Partridge Berries, trimmed with red rib-
bon, red Immortelles and sprays of red
and bronze Maple foliage. All these
goods were well arranged against a back-
ground of red metalline, and the window
floor was covered with the same material.
The central figure of the display was a
large wreath, the body of which was
formed of red frieze, and the trimmings
consisting of Holly and red ribbon.

In calling on Edward Brenner, the
wholesale florist at 43 West 18th st. re-
cently, we found one of the old timers
of the flower business back again, and
acting as assistant and manager for Mr.
Brenner. This familiar figure was Mor-
ris Garreau, formerly of Garreau Bros, of
Jersey City, N. J. After this firm went
out of business, Mr. Garreau found that
living a life of idleness was contrary to
his inclination and tastes, and for that
reason he has come back into the busi-
ness (this time into' the wholesale end
of it) in which he had spent all his life.
By the way, Mr. Garreau tells us that
he is one of the oldest subscribers for his
favorite paper, The Florists Exchange,
his- first subscription to this journal be-
ginning more than 30 years ago.

Gilbank's Flower Shop at 50 Broad-
way has been incorporated with a capital
stock of $10,000, by P. M. Kelly and oth-
ers.

The triangular plot on the northwest
corner of 8th st. and 11th ave., White-
stone, Flushing, L. I., with a front of
about 380ft. on 11th ave. has been pur-
chased by Fred Holderer, the florist, who
owns adjoining property, and who now
has squared out his holdings at this point,
aud expects shortly to extend his green-
houses to cover the plot just purchased.

Among our visitors this past week was
Frank Brunton, landscape architect of To-
ledo, Ohio, a gentleman we had not met
for .22 years. Mr. Brunton tells us that
he is doing a highly successful landscape
business in his chosen city of abode, and
that the people there are eager and anxi-
ous to have their home grounds made pre-
sentable. He has . recently purchased
quite a tract of land, and on this he finds
he has several different kinds of soil
which make the farm extremely adapt-
able for the purpose he has in view, the
starting of a nursery of the choicer
stocks. Mr. Brunton came East on a pur-
chasing expedition and expects to return
again next Spring. One thing which im-
pressed us in his remarks was his state-
ment to the effect that the people of the
Middle West were prosperous, and were
eagerly open to the esthetic in landscape
plantings; they are anxious to do awa}r
with the old commonplace stocks, and in
their place plant choicer ornamental
shrubs and trees, and perennials.

Portland, Ore.

November 3. — Reports from around
town record business as sluggish to me-
dium. Naturally there are the usual fu-
neral rushes, but then these are soon
cleaned up. The outlook for a plentiful
supply of 'Mums for Thanksgiving in all
grades is very satisfactory and even with
a great many of the growers reporting
all 'Mums as early, there will still be
plenty. Many growers have been cut-
ting Maude Dean for the past two weeks
and Chadwiek, the Thanksgiving Day
king, will be entirely gone.

A year ago there was some little disap-
pointment in the Thanksgiving Day call
for flowers, and so there is reluctance on
the part of the retailer to take any long
chances this time.

The Carnation supply has now more
than caught up with itself and judging
by the weather, there will be plenty for
the holiday. Enchantress shows traces
of softness, which is common to this va-
riety. Red Matchless has been very poor
to date and unless it picks up, will soon
be on the discard list. A pity we cannot
get the large red we are so much in need
of.

Roses are short and what was a boun-
tiful crop a week ago, has dwindled to
almost nothing at present. This, in face
of the bright weather, but probably the
cold snap has checked them up until they
get properly acclimated. Valley, Orchids
and Baby Roses are equal to all calls
with a little shortage on the latter.

Pot stock is at about the same stage
as a week ago.

The scouts of the bulb salesmen army
have made their first sortie in the field
of battle, by the appearance of Guy
French of the A. B. Co. and,, from now
on, we will all wonder where they come
from. This is the second visit of Guy
and all are glad to see him.

B. W. McLellan of San Francisco is
also in the city on his annual visit. He
brought up a box of Gardenias that were
especially fine which he presented to the
trade. He says that prospects for a big-
ger and better San Francisco market
were never better. Orchids, Gardenias
and Roses are his specialty. Mr. Mc-
Rorie of Heather fame is also looking up
old customers.

Still another flower shop to add to the
list in Portland's downtown district.
Erickson the Florist has opened up an
attractive shop at 203 Broadway. Mr.
Erickson was formerly with the Nippon
Floral Co.

The five electric signs that have been
taken by the trade to advertise the use
of flowers for the holiday will be placed
on the arteries of travel on both East and
West sides. This is one medium that is
sure to bring results. H. N.

Seattle, Wash.

Trade Notes

Trade during the past week has
been inclined to be quiet as is generally
the case preceding a holiday period. The
general opinion, however, seems to be
that Thanksgiving business will be good.
With stock plentiful and of very good
quality, there appears to be no reason
why with the continuance of present
reasonable prices, this optimism should
receive any setback. In addition to cut
blooms, there is a noticable increase in
the quantity and quality of the com-
bination baskets on display. This class
of basket in which plants are used in com-
bination, without removing from the pots,
has decided advantages, both to the pur-
chaser and the retailer; the former can
break up the combination at pleasure and
use the plants singly in jardinieres on
plant stands, while the retailer, should
a basket remain on hand for any length
of time, can create a fresh effect quickly
by removing any single plant and form-
ing a new combination. These baskets ap-
pear to be appreciated and they are of-
fered at prices from $2.50 up.

Advance wholesale orders for 'Mums
are particularly brisk and Roses, which
are plentiful, are in good demand, as are
Violets.

Paperwhites of good quality are on sale.
The beautiful Anemone 'Mum, Sunshine,
is very plentiful and is in great demand.

B. E. Hammond Co. reports a heavy
demand for berried Holly for the Christ-
mas trade, one inquiry calling for 10,-
000 sprays for a middlewest firm. From
Victoria and Vancouver, B. C, other in-

quiries have been received. Fairly high
prices are foretold for this commodity
the coming season..

At the Woodlawn Flower Shop prepara-
tions for a busy time are being made
by the addition of extra help in the per-
sons of Mrs. G. V. Peterson and Mrs.
Ruth Minch, both experienced florists.
Miss Gladys Cohen of the office staff of
this firm has returned from a month's
vacation spent in California. She vis-
ited many florists during her stay.

An elaborate decoration was carried
out bv the firm last week at the Seattle
Yacht Club. Tables were laid for _ 100
guests and the decorations were entirely
of white Chrysanthemums and silvered
Huckleberry.

McCoys report carrying out elaborate
decorations for a Chinese wedding, the
bride being the daughter of a prominent
pioneer Chinese family, who insisted on
the rite being carried out in an uptodate
American style, including a profusion of
floral decorations in the house in addi-
tion to the usual brides and bridesmaids'
bouquets. Joan Lambley says the Chinese
are great spenders, where flowers are con-
cerned.

P. F. Rosaia returned on Wednesday
last from a three weeks' auto trip to
California, during which various large
growing establishments were visited. P.
F. reports that while he found trade con-
ditions good, generally, on the whole the
trip was disappointing.

Will Desmond, for some time manager
of Kennys Home of Flowers has resigned
the position and is proposing to go into
business on his own account.

Fred Winters, bulb grower of Bellevue,
Wash., reports the sale of all his first size
Gladioli bulbs. The Woodland Park Flo-
ral Co., Sumner, Wash., were so satisfied
with this local grown stock last year, that
they have ordered 10,000 from him for
the coming season's forcing.

In my account of the Sanved Nursery
display at the Fruit Exhibition last week,
I omitted to mention the most effective
portion of their exhibit. This consisted
of a mass Of most beautifully grown Per-
nettya mucronata, which was used as a
border to the whole arrangement. This
fine shrub thrives to perfection in our
climate, and with its vari-colored berries
is very attractive. [Has no rival. — Ed.]

Fred- Gust was at Tacoma last week,
calling on members of the trade.

George and Mrs. Lawler of Gardenville,
Wash., were in our city on Monday. George
says he is still digging Gladioli and will
not finish for another two weeks. He re-
ceived a shipment of 50,000 bulbs in va-
riety, from Holland last week, but re-
ports nearly half of them badly heated in
transit.

John Freeman, florist, Anacortes, Wash.,
and Mack McKinley of the McKinlev
Floral Co., Tacoma, Wash., were trade
visitors during the past week.

Joe H. Snell opened a flower store at
Enumclaw, Wash., on Nov. 25. This is
a live little town in a busy mining cen-
ter, and we wish his venture every suc-
cess.

Dan MacRorie of the MacRorie & Mc-
Laren Co.. is a distinguished Californian
with us this week. Geo. Rosaia of Rosaia
Bros, is acting as pilot to Dan during his
stay. Geo. Cooper.

Seattle Florists Association

First Annual Chrysanthemum Show
Held Under Difficulties

This show was held on Nov. 14, 15 and
16, in the various florists stores of the
city. This arrangement was due to the
fact that no building in the city suitable
for such an event, could, be obtained ex-
cept at exhorbitant rates. Surely such a
state of affairs is a reflection on a city,
boasting the size of and population of
Seattle, npt to mention the fact that dur-
ing the past year, the slogan of the author-
ities has been, "Seattle, the Flower
City." This city has a flourishing Rose
society, which puts on one of the best
Rose shows in America and for years it
was up agajinst the same proposition
until, thanks to the generosity of the
University of Washington, it obtained
the use of the Forestry Building for its
annual show. The work of the Seattle
Horticultural Society has been hampered
and almost extinguished owing to lack of
a building where its monthly meetings

and exhibitions could be held easily ac-
cessible to the general public.

For the same reason, the florists
Chrysanthemum show, which was partly
arranged to meet the wishes of the Flower
Committee of the Chamber of Commerce,
had finally to be staged in the stores.
It is certainly time that some of the City
Fathers, or Sons did something for the
cause of horticulture. Of course, with a
civil engineer as superintendent of parks,
instead of a first class horticulturist, as
is the case in the majority of other cities,
it's too much to expect much assistance
from this source.

With a show held under the conditions
stated, fair competition was out of the
question. However, some really magnifi-
cent blooms were displayed by the vari-
ous retailers, and one advantage of the
individual store displays was that it ad-
mitted of an easy comparison of the mer-
its of local grown blooms versus outside,
or imported blooms. After a careful in-
spection of all blooms exhibited, both
local grown and Californian, the former
did not suffer in the least by comparison.

In the local grown Japanese exhibition
types, the big fight at B. E. Hammond's
store was between C. E. Benson, Kirk-
land and Gus Bjorkman, Hollywood Gar-
dens, with the scrap ending slightly in
favor of the latter, due to the fact that
he had a greater assortment of varieties.
In whites, C. E. Benson was ahead, his
White Turners were giants in size with
remarkably clean foliage. With the
bronze H. V. Kahn, a slight lack of color
permitted the Hollywood blooms to lead.
Excellent Mrs. C. West or Pink Turner
were also in the Benson exhibits, but in
this color, Hollywood again scored with
blooms of the same variety, Rose Linden
and Purple King. In yellows, Yellow
Turner, Major Bonnaffon, Chrysolora and
Marigold were staged; Wm. Waite,
bronze, was also grand from both grow-
ers. A feature of the Hollywood Gar-
dens display was a magnificent vase of
an unnamed yellow, incurved seedling,
equal in color to Marigold. This variety
is destined to be heard from in the
future.

With Pompon varieties, Stuber &
Richardson, Bryn Mawr, and A. B. Mathie-
sen staged first quality stock. In the va-
rious stores, great rivalry existed. Ro-
saia Bros., in addition to an excellent dis-
play of 'Mums, had a great cut of vari-
ous Cattleyas, also Valleys and a collec-
tion of pot plants. Felix Rosaia also had
an excellent display, mostly of California
grown stock.

The Woodlawn Flower Shop displayed
gorgeous vases of White and Yellow Chad-
wick, Wm. H. Waite and H. V. Kahn in
bronze and a fine lot of Cyclamen in 8in.
pots. Beds of pot Pompons edged with
Selaginella and a full line of Roses and
Carnations were also featured. McCoys
had a similar display. The stock at both
places was from the Beall Greenhouses,
Vashon Island.

Hollywood Gardens had the most elab-
orately decorated store in the city, the
whole interior being transformed by the
use of Japanese umbrellas and lanterns
suspended under the electric lights and
filled with choice blooms of various col-
ors. The varieties of 'Mums already
mentioned, were displayed in groups in
the window and various parts of the
store, their seedling occupying a promi-
nent position in a tall silver case, which
displayed it to great advantage.

The smaller stores of the city all did
their share of making the affair a suc-
cess and deserve credit for their solid
cooperation. Nor must the B. E. Ham-
mond Co., wholesale house be omitted, for
while not actually staging any exhibit,
credit must go to their staff for their ef-
ficient handling of the local Japanese
grown 'Mums during show week.

To local growers for their work at the
Fruit Exposition and for their unstinted
cooperation with the retailers, all praise
must be given. On one point only did
I hear any kick, and with this solitary
kicker I agree, namely that there was not
sufficient publicity in connection with the
affair. No exhibition of this nature can
be put on in two weeks, nor in two
months. It demands the whole year, from
one show to another, to insure smoothness
in detail and to allow the growers to pre-
pare in advance. Anyway, the first show
was a credit to all concerned. It was ap-
preciated by the public and must have
done some good to the trade, so let's go
for the second annual Chrysanthemum
show right away.

I nearly forgot the work of the ladi
During the three days of the show, aft<
noon tea was served at Hollywood for t
benefit of visitors, tables being presid
over by Miss Camille Moore and Mi
Sam. Dunlop. This courtesy was great
appreciated. The. public took great i
terest in the show and visited the vai
ous stores in great numbers daily.

Nov. 25. — This week Fort Wayni
has felt a real taste of Winter, snow
falling all day Friday. There is every
indication of a general cleanup of al
stock for Thanksgiving week, for nianj
advanced orders have been booked, anc
prices are advancing slightly.

A visit to the greenhouses of Lanter
nier's reveals the fact that this firm is
doing a remarkably good business. Theii
'Mums are nearly all cleaned up, with the
exception of Thanksgiving Pink, and Har
vard, which are' very fine. Their Carna-
tions are coming in strong and they also
have a fine house of Poinsettias for
Christmas trade.

Ralph Tinkham reports he has had a
run of pre-nuptial parties and table dec-
orations. This firm is making a drive
for Thanksgiving, and are using the di-
rect by mail advertising scheme, from
C. E. Falls Service Co. Thousands of
these folders are sent out every month
and the results have increased business
to a great extent.

The Doswell Floral Co. reports trade
as good. A very attractive window has
been staged for Thanksgiving week in the
form of a table decoration composed of
Cypripedium insigne and Premier Roses;
an effective combination.
Flowers for the Sick

Charles M. Niezer, new president of the
First National Bank, today sent the many
beautiful floral tributes of congratulation,
which were presented to him in honor of
his appointment as head of the bank, to
the various hospitals of the city. The large
number of pieces completely filled the
entire office of the president.

Trade visitors this week were H. C.
Newbrand, representing Roman J. Irwin,
New York; Fred Wustenhoff, represen-
tative of Poehlmann Bros., Chicago, and
R. P. Leach of the Irving Stein Co., Chi-
cago. A. B.

CAMPANULA FOR IMMEDIATE SHIPMENT

Our forcing grade.

HOW TO FORCE THEM.

As soon as received, pot them and carry the
plants after that into a frame; they are best off
if they do not freeze, they don't appreciate it.
Up to February they want anything but a warm
house. Leave all the foliage on you can. Hold
the house as near 32 degrees as possible and also
after that time don't subject them to a high
temperature. Lift the plants and heel in a cold
house to bf planted out in a solid bed in February,
to be slowly forced into bloom for cut flowers for
late April and during May.

Horse Sense Talk
Number One

■**riH**vi j»wnyESPWPW

Horse sense, as we understand it, is the kind
of sense that makes you use everyday common
sense in whatever you do.

Take building a new house, or enlarging an old
one, for example: All too few there are who
give it the careful care and thoughtful consid-
eration it deserves. When you begin asking
questions why it's so, in nine cases out of ten,
say, it's because a business man generally de-
cides to build too quickly;

He puts off deciding to build until along in
the early Spring. To then get a house up and
a crop in for Fall, he's got to step so lively, he
steps right over some of the things he might
better have stepped on He just doesn't
give himself time to plan carefully. Plan not
only for the house he's going to put up, but
for everything in relation to it, whether it be
his existing houses or the ones he will put up
in years to come.

Lots of money :s wasted because of hasty plan-
ning. It's really a crime how
much is actually thrown away.
That's why we are going to
urge you, from now on, to start
right in planning. Don't hesi-
tate to call on us for sugges-

CORRECTING AN ERROR

In our advertisement of November 11th,
exploiting the greenhouse of La Montagne
& Sons, of Woburn, Mass., we mentioned
the house as being of Number Two Con-
struction. We desire to correct our error:
The house is our Number One Construction.

tions. Whether you are thinking of giving us
the order or not, our services won't cost you a
dollar.

If you give the order to the other fellow, we
have helped the greenhouse business in general
if we have helped you. Every well planned
range or house that goes up makes the florist
business just that much better for your busi-
ness and for ours. Anything that betters the
business betters things for all of us.

For the next few weeks we won't be so busy
selling. That means we will have plenty of
time to sit down with you and talk and plan
unhurriedly.

We have some facts and figures that have to
do with making more money out of a green-
house. It's the boiled down experiences of
the leading growers all over the country.
If you were to travel for a month, calling on
the very same men you couldn't get the same
facts. But we will give you
the benefit of them without
charge.

Start planning; that's the thing
to do ! Start doing it now !

Agricultural Budget Increased by $19,000,000

Generally Increased Appropriations Asked for Plant Pest Investigations Free Seed Distribution

Again Ignored by Department Gipsy and Brown Tail Moth, European Corn Borer and Mexican

Bean Beetle Spread Call for Emergency Funds.

Washington, D. C— An increase of $19,000,000 in
the appropriations for the Department of Agriculture
for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1923, is provided
for in estimates submitted to Congress by the Bureau
of the Budget Dec. 4. The appropriations total $81,-
251.013, as compared with $62,412,036, provided for
the current fiscal year. These estimates, however,
cover only salaries and regular activities of the de-
partment, and do not consider funds for special activi-
ties or for deficiencies which may arise.

Following the policy of the past few years, the
Department asks no money for free seed distribution
for which, however, $360,000 a year has been appro-
priated by Congress annually since the war. Among
the estimated funds needed for activities of interest
to the florist and allied trades, are the following, of
which the most important are set in italics.

Bureau of Plant Industry. — For investigations of
fruits, fruit trees, grasses, drug and medicinal plants,
etc., $77,000, a decrease of $5000 from this year's
appropriation.

For the investigation of diseases of orchard and
other fruits, $111,935, an increase of $19,000.

For investigations of the nature and means of com
munication of citrus canker, $60,000, an increase of
$30,000.

For investigating diseases of forest and ornamental
trees and shrubs, $S1,115. For applying methods of
eradication or control of the White Pins Mister rust.
$200,000. (It is provided that State, county or local
authorities, or individual or organizations interested,
must expend in this work a sum equal to that ex-
pended from this appropriation.)

For investigations of diseases of Cotton, Potatoes,
truck and forage crops and drug and related plants,
$127,000, an increase of $10,000.

For investigating the physiology of crop plants, and
for testing and breeding new varieties, $66,S60, an
increase of $10,000.

For soil-bacteriology and plant-nutrition investiga-
tions, $50,000.

For soil-fertility investigations into organic causes
of infertility and remedial measures, etc., $45,060.

For acclimatization and adaptation investigations
of Cotton, Corn and other crops introduced from
tropical regions, $132,500, an increase of $20,000.

For investigations, testing and improvement of
plants yielding drugs, spices, poisons, oils, etc., $39,S20.
For crop technological investigations, including the
study of plant-infesting nematodes, $42,440, an in-
crease of $10,000.

For studying and testing commercial seeds, includ-
ing the testing of samples of seeds of grasses, Clover,
Alfalfa and lawn grass secured in the open market,
and the publication of the names of persons selling
seeds of which samples are found to be adulterated
or misbranded, and for carrying out the provisions of
the act prohibiting the admission into the United
States of certain adulterated grain and seeds unfit for
seeding purposes, $44,680.

For the investigation and improvement of cereals
and the study and control of cereal diseases, includ-
ing Barberry eradication, and for the investigation
of the cultivating and breeding of Flax for seed pur-
poses, $472,505, a reduction of $110,000. It is pro-
vided that only $200,000 shall be spent for Barberry
eradication, as compared with $350,000 this year; so
the appropriation for the other work is actually in-
creased.

For sugar-plant investigations, including studies of
diseases and the improvement of Sugar Beets and
Sugar Beet seed, $94,115.

For the improvement and utilization of wild plants
and for determining the distribution of weeds and
means of their control, $30,SOO, an increase of $3200.

For the investigation and improvement of methods
of crop production under subhumid, semiarid or dry
land conditions, $1S0,000, an increase of $11,000. But
it is provided that no part of this appropriation shall
lie used for the free distribution of cuttings, seedlings,
or trees of common varieties of fruit, ornamental or
shelter-belt trees in the northern Great Plains area.

For the investigation, improvement, encouragement
and determination of the adaptability to different
soils and climatic conditions of nut trees, $30,000, an
increase of $10,000. For the investigation and im-
provement of fruits, $130,700, an increase of $15,000.

For the cultivation and care of the gardens and
grounds of the Department of Agriculture in Wash-
ington, $15,000 (the usual appropriation).

Fm- horticultural investigations, including the
study of producing and harvesting truck and related
crops. $79,440, an increase of $7500.

For investigating, in cooperation with States or pri-
vately owned nurseries, methods of propagating fruit

stocks used in propagating such plants and methods
of t/roiciuy stocks, for the purpose of providing Ameri-
inii sources of stocks, cuttings or other propagating
materials, $20,000.

For the expenses of the general experiment farm
and agricultural station at Arlington, Va., $20,500, a
reduction of $50,000.

For investigations in foreign seed and plant intro-
ductions, including the study, collection, purchase,
testing, propagation and distribution of rare and valu-
able seeds, bulbs, trees, shrubs, vines, cuttings and
plants from abroad, $125,000.

For the purchase, propagation, testing and distri-
bution of new and rare seeds, and for the investiga-
tion and improvement of Grasses, Alfalfa, Clover and
other forage crops, $115,000, a reduction of $15,000;
it is provided that not more than $36,600 ($20,000 less
than the current appropriation) may be used for the
purchase and distribution of new and rare seeds.

Forest Service. — For the purchase of tree seed,
cones and nursery stock, for seeding and tree planting
in National forests, $125,640.

Bureau of Chemistry. — For investigation and ex-
periment in the utilization, for coloring, medicinal
and technical purposes, of raw materials grown or
produced in this country, $56,260.

the important properties which determine productiv-
ity, such as moisture relations, aerations, heat con-
ductivity, etc., $12,250.

For investigation of fertilizers and other soil
amendments and their suitability for agricultural
use, $60,000, a reduction of $10,000.

and other institutions, $120,000, a reduction of $48,200.

Bureau of Entomology. — For the promotion of eco-
nomic entomology ; for investigating the habits of in-
sects injurious and beneficial to agriculture, horticul-
ture, aboriculture, and ascertaining the best means
of eradicating those found to be injurious, $203,500,

recent introduction and rapid multiplication of the
Mexican. Bean beetle in Alabama and other States,
$25,000.

Bureau of Agricultural Economics. — For collect-
ing, compiling, and publishing data relative to agri-
culture, including crop estimates, $412,000, an increase

The Department also estimates that $411,400 (a re-
duction of $136,440) will be required for the eradica-
tion of the pink bollworm. A fund of $13,000, the

same as at present, is requested for the eradication
of the Parlatoria Date scale.

A total of $120,962 is asked for the Botanic Garden,
of which $30,000 is for the repair and reconstruction
of the main conservatory and greenhouses. The pres-
ent appropriation for the garden is $82,016.

Total appropriations for all activities of the Gov-
ernment during the fiscal year 1924 are estimated at
$1,783,843,331, a reduction of $60,000,000 from the
appropriations made for the present fiscal year. Those,
however, do not make provision for the interest on
and reduction of the public debt. C. L. L.

De-nitrifying versus Nitrifying
Bacteria

By BERNARD FIELD

NITROGEN combines with oxygen in a variety
of compounds. The more oxygen it takes to
make a compound, the more complex the mole-
cule it forms. This fact is called nitrifying. When
the reverse takes place, that is, when the complex
molecule containing large amounts of oxygen begins
to lose this element and transforms itself back to
nitrogen, it is called de-nitrifying.

The atmosphere, roughly speaking, is composed of
two-thirds nitrogen and one-third oxygen. The com-
bination of these two elements takes place only when
a ferment, organized or unorganized, combines them,
or through a chemical reaction. There are many fer-
ments which thrive on nitrogen as well as on oxygen.
In agriculture, nitrates are used with great free-
dom and we do often get good results, but not always.

Old Theories Disproved

In some scientific books, readers are informed that
de-nitrification is a real calamity for the farmer,
because he loses his valuable nitrates. It is most
important, therefore, to analyze whether nitrification
or de-nitrification is the cause of loss. Accepting the
definition above given, nitrogen in the air can act on
the soil to make nitrates in the presence of a fer-
ment or a chemical reaction. If the natural soil con-
tains nitrates in abundance, it is due to ferments or
chemical reactions which have taken place for mil-
lions of years.

There is no reason today to doubt that natural ni-
trification is possible. In fact, it happens now just
as freely as in the past. Given a good soil possessing
plenty of humus and slight acidity, nitrification takes
place in a short time. In other words, any soil slight-
ly acid, locks up the nitrogen under the form of
nitrates.

Now if everything which made that soil acid has
been transformed through nitrification, into nitrates,
further nitrification stops and the soil becomes alka-
line. When such soils are mixed with de-nitrifying
bacteria and elements in which these bacteria thrive,
the reverse takes place. All the proteid elements in
it, even the nitrates, begin to transform to ammoni-
ates. In other words, the bacteria unlock the nitro-
gen from the soil. When the process of de-nitrifica-
tion finishes, the bacteria causing such phenomenon,
cease their cycle of activity, and the nitrification can
start up again.

When to Apply Nitrates

When we buy nitrates and use them in our soils
as fertilizers we must know the exact chemical state
of the soil. If the soil is already nitrified, why waste
money adding more nitrates. If the soil is in the
process of de-nitrification, we will certainly transform
those expensive nitrates to ammonia. The only way
a farmer can be successful is when he observes Na-
ture: it will tell him the truth. Any kind of a fruit
falling from the tree eventually becomes sour and
acid. An alcoholic fermentation takes place. Wher-
ever that fruit falls, in that particular spot of the
soil, de-nitrification sets in. Nature, therefore, indi-
cates a very good and simple remedy. When in doubt
de-nitrify your soil, and you will be sure that nitrifica-
tion will set in freely afterward. Does it not seem
better to follow the advice of Nature and prepare
your soil with acid and de-nitrifying bacteria, includ-
ing a good medium for these bacteria to thrive in?

Make the Soil Acid First

In greenhouses, liquid manure or fresh manure
mixed with acid phosphates, are used at present. The
bacteria in the manure, both beneficial and disease
bearing, start the process of de-nitrification. After
eight or ten days, when the de-nitrification has fin-
ished, it is time to apply nitrates, if one wishes for
splendid foliage. A skillful grower usually knows
when plant foliage is wanting in vigor, and he will
start the reverse process of nitrification. However,

Southward Ho!

By G. THOMMEN

[The previous chapter appeared on page 946. Our
apologies to Mr. Thomrueu for delay in publication
of this most interesting narrative, unavoidable how-
ever on account of the pressure on these columns in
recent weeks.]

We arrived in Sanford on Sunday afternoon before
two o'clock, engaged our room at the Valdez and
started right off to see the town. Sanford is a town
or city well worth seeing: a hustling, bustling, grow-
ing place, full of pep and enterprise, as I found out
the following day, and when I stayed over again on
my way home. It has several handsome, large, up-
todate hotels ; fine, clean, wide brick-paved streets ;
many beautiful churches and imposing public build-
ings. The many schools are a credit to the city, being
substantial, well designed and well situated. Sanford
is an important railroad center of Florida, besides
commanding a great river traffic. It is the home of
many wealthy and influential citizens who are re-
sponsible for its rapid development into the twelfth
largest in Florida. There are three fine banks, a daily
and weekly newspaper and any number of" first-class
stores. One of Sanford's outstanding institutions is
its Chamber of Commerce, composed of the foremost,
most progressive and efficient men in the city. San-
ford is said to possess the largest original icing sta-
tion in the world, from which refrigerator cars are
iced before beginning their journey to the large mar-
kets of the country. During one March, 373 cars of
Celery were iced and shipped in one week. The plant
is privately owned, as are the gas, water and electric
plants. Sanford, "The City Substantial," has about
10,000 inhabitants and shows an increase of over 68
per cent for the last ten year census period. Theatres,
clubs and fraternal orders are well represented and
housed in representative buildings.

I located one florist on the outskirts of the city,
but did not find a florist store. As it was Sunday I
did not try to bother my brother florist; just gave the
place a lookover from a distance and so did not see
much. My friend and I wandered around, enjoying
the sight of the beautiful buildings and private resi-
dences, all of which are, as everywhere iu Florida, set
about 2ft. above ground, with no cellar but a perfectly
clear space underneath the floor. The wide streets are
lined with avenues of palms of several sorts, Pepper
and Camphor trees, Live Oaks and some other kinds
of trees. The cottages sport nice lawns and groups
of subtropical specimens. There are magnificent
clumps of Bamboos, grand bushes of Oleanders, Hibis-
cuses, great Magnolias, Gums and Bays, Acacias,
Acalyphas, Lantanas, Jasminums and any number of
other plants, many of which I could not place, the
more so, as they were not in flower. Allamandas and
Hibiscus, also the Crape Myrtle, were in full bloom in
every garden or yard and a beautiful show they made.
Of course, our own garden flowers were well repre-
sented everywhere — beds or borders of Zinnias, Vin-
cas, Salvias, Petunias, etc.

To these I paid little attention, my eye following
the ever present ramblers and climbers that often
tried to hide the buildings entirely from the ground
to the roof. The luxuriously growing Bougainvilleas,
Tecomas, Clerodendrons, Antigonons, Jasmiuums,
Ficus pumila and English Ivies were enough to keep
me staring for minutes at a time. Bignonia venusta
is a beautiful and much employed climber and is only
rivaled by Thunbergia grandiflora. The more I gazed
upon the handsome, charming, peaceful dwellings,' in
the shade of noble trees, the more did the wish, that
I might live here, take possession of me. To own a
garden where green things and all sorts of brilliant
flowers grow in everlasting luxuriance every month
of the year seemed to me all a man could wish for.
Add to all the beauty surrounding you a deep blue
sky, a lazy, fragrant breeze and the song of birds,
and, man, you could not imagine anything more per-
fect or enticing. A dozen times, as I stood and let
my eyes feast on the attractive scenes spread before
me, I was rudely awakened from my dream by my
companion's impatient : "Let's move on." I had to
forgive him, for all his life he had been a grocer iu
New York, and what could he be expected to know
about Nature?

Well, we "moved on," and presently came to an
extra fine and well-kept garden containing about
every kind of Florida plant in greatest profusion and
perfection. On the veranda, in the shade of an enor-
mous Live Oak, an old gentleman was reclining in
the hammock. When we stopped and I began to ex-
plain to my friend what all the plants were (although
I did not know one-quarter of them) the old gentle-
man must have guessed that we came from the
North. Anyway, he invited us in and it developed that
he had come to these parts more than 40 years ago

when it was a wild and wooly country. He was a
New Englander, and before he let us go he had told
us the whole history of Sanford, almost from the day
it started. And an interesting history it is.

I forgot to mention the Poinsettias, Caladiums, Be-
gonias, Boston ferns and Asparagus plumosus which,
so to speak, run wild in every garden and lot. We
spent an hour or two in the cool of the evening on
the handsome, long, granite sea wall and on the con-
cert pier adjoining Lake Monroe, listening to the
rustle of palm leaves, the lapping of the waves and
giving the cool breeze a chance to make us believe we
were in heaven. I was surprised at the absence of
mosquitoes ; nary a one ever came near me, nor was I
stung once during my whole stay in Florida. Maybe
there are plenty of the beasts in Florida but, maybe,
too, they will not go for a fellow who thinks prohibi-
tion is a put-up job and a bad one at that. In time
we had supper, a bath, went to the movies and then
to bed.

Next day we made a call at the Chamber of Com-
merce, where Mr. Pearman, the efficient secretary, a
courteous, businesslike, young man introduced me to
some of the members of his organization and invited
me to lunch, to a meeting of the officers of the Cham-
ber at the Hotel Seminole and afterward to an auto-
mobile ride through the truck gardens and farm
lands surrounding the city. This ride proved extreme-
ly interesting and instructive.

Sanford is the center of the most intensely devel-
oped market garden and agricultural section of Flor-
ida. The productiveness of the soil is simply amazing.
The land, as everywhere in this section of Florida, is
absolutely level and where there used to be virgin
forests and Palmetto jungles not so many years ago,
there are now square miles of the best and most pro-
ductive acres in the country. The crops grown within
the limits of Sanford in the season of 1920-1921
reached the following figures for the period Nov. 5 to
May 15 :

Celery 2800 carloads, value $1,750,000

Lettuce 1525 carloads, value 180,000

Peppers 620 carloads, value 250,000

Potatoes SO carloads, value 60,000

Tomatoes 150 carloads, value 200,000

Beets 40 carloads, value 20,000

Miscellaneous 32 carloads, value 32,000

Citrus fruits 200 carloads, value 160,000

Total 5477 carloads, value $2,652,000

To ship this out — there is usually an additional
month of shipping after May 15 — but required 734
carloads of crate material, and to grow the crops 520
carloads of fertilizer were used.

This enormous volume of products is grown on an
area of about 1S00 acres, bringing an average return
of $1444 per acre. These results are made possible by
the application of subirrigation, subaeration and sub-
drainage. Few sections of the United States have the
fundamental essentials for the successful operation
of this system. These essentials are six in number,
and in explanation I quote from "Florida State Bulle-
tin No. 5," as follows :

1. An abundance of water is necessary. This is sup-
plied by artesian wells obtained by driving iron pipes
down into the artesian stratum and allowing- the water
to rise in them to a height somewhat above the sur-
face of the ground. The water can also be brought to
the surface with force pumps, where it rises to within
easy reach from the surface.

2. A subsoil or floor composed of clay, marl or hard-
pan located at a depth of from 3ft. to 5ft. below the
surface to hold the water and prevent its escape down-
ward.

3. A foot or more of coarse sand on top of the sub-
soil or bottom of the irrigated depth that will absorb
and distribute, evenly, the water used in creating the
artificial water table.

4. A top soil of sandy loam neither too porous nor
too compact which will convey the water freely by
capillary attraction.

5. Land that admits of perfect drainage. It should
have a fall of about one inch to 100ft.

6. Land that is level, wit'hiout depressions or raised
places.

Wherever the foregoing conditions obtain and
wherever the crops to be grown justify it, the system
of sub-irrigation should give satisfactory results; but
with any of these essentials lacking it is not likely to
give satisfaction. The system also supplies drainage
and aeration.

Experts from the Federal Department of Agricul-
ture who have investigated the Sanford system of
subirrigation have pronounced it the best method
ever devised or brought to their attention in the
application of moisture to plant growth. Seminole
County is probably the only area of considerable ex-
tent where this system of irrigation can be applied.
Practically every acre under cultivation in Sanford
is tiled and water is secured at an average depth of
160ft.

Never less than two, and often four, crops per year
are grown on each acre of subirrigated, tile-drained
laud, for being immune to both drought and flood, it
turns out crops on positive scheduled time, maturing
them almost to a day as planned by the grower. Be-
cause of this system of irrigation, Sanford possesses

the unique distinction of never having had a crop fail-
ure since its inception.

While other crops are grown here, the principal
ones are Celery, Lettuce and Peppers. They are
shipped to all parts of the United States and Canada
by refrigerator cars; and to parts that will not take
car loads by express.

The Sanford Farmers Exchange and Sanford Truck
Growers Association are two organizations which
have demonstrated the benefits to be derived from
cooperative marketing.

On our trip through these market garden and farm
lands I was deeply impressed with the many perfect
roads, the substantial dwellings and farm buildings,
and the colossal warehouses of the growers associa-
tions. As repeatedly mentioned before the country is
as level as a floor and looks entirely different from
any landscape iu the North. Tall Palmettos, in groups
or singly, decorate the level stretches and, here and
there, groves of Live Oaks spread welcome shade.
Orange groves are seen quite frequently, although not
so often as a little farther inland. The Celery farm-
ers were just starting the young plants in long beds
under cloth shades and the land was being got ready
for planting. Plowing, here, looks more like a mat-
ter of turning over some dark-colored sugar or flour.
Not a pebble is to be seen, the soil is fine and mealy,
very porous and in some fields the rows are a mile
or more long. There are no fences and the absence
of cattle is noticeable, although there are some fine
dairies in the neighborhood of the city.

My friend and I did all our traveling in Florida by
automobile busses which run in every direction and
give excellent, inexpensive cheap service. In all my
journey of three weeks I boarded the railroad train
only once.

We hated to leave Sanford, but time was pressing
and so, toward evening of our second day, we em-
barked for Orlando, 23 miles away. The ride first
took us for miles through unimproved land, covered
with Palmetto scrub with here and there a gasoline
station. However, very soon, we began to meet
Orange groves. The first ones we passed close by on
our trip and a beautiful sight they are. The trees
were prim and neat, the foliage was dense and darkly
green, and the fruit though crowding the branches
was hardly to be seen in the mass of luxurious foliage
of the same color. It was not the right time for the
oranges to display their golden hues. As a rule the
groves are kept scrupulously clean, not a weed being
seen in the straight, long rows and the trees in
every grove being of exactly the same height and
form. There is nothing scraggly about a well kept
Orange grove, and a feast for the eyes it must be
when the golden globes are ready to be picked. After
one hour of riding we arrived in Orlando, called "The
City Beautiful."

(To be continued)

"The Legend of the First Florist in all the World"
is to be the sub-title of a Christmas story in the
Christmas Number of The Exchange to be published
next week. A short story, also having to do with the
day will be one by A. L. Close, entitled "The Waiting
Yule."

All of us know about the first man of the world.
But to hear about the first florist, gracious! One
can hardly wait to see whether he grew his flowers
in a house of all steel or part wood. Did he antici-
pate the Rose midge? Was the advent of the trade
papers one of his prognostications? Certainly Qu. 37
didn't worry him oue way or the other. But then,
to take a fling at other than trade matters, neither
did the 18th Amendment. Wouldn't it be fun to find
that he had the town crier announcing "Speak ye
with mine blooms," and that one of Major O'Keefe's
ancestors heard the cry, made a mental note of it,
only for the phrase to come to the surface in modern
language in the mind of an O'Keefe centuries later.

De-Nitrifying vs.. Nitrifying Bacteria

(Concluded from page 1523)
there are very few growers who notice this fact in
time. Therefore, it is safer to mulch with radio-
active inoculated peat, which contains true acid and
de-nitrifying bacteria. In a few days this will pre-
pare your beds to absorb the nitrates.

When the soil changes from an acid to an alkaline
state, and vice versa, the action of bacteria in their
cycle of life is to secrete enzymes and vitamines. The
radio-activity in the prepared peat under the form
of uranium oxide and vanadium oxide, emanates suffi-
cient energy to produce a quick concentration of the
ions of moisture and other elements. This energy is
strong enough to produce successive stages of alkalin-
ity and acidity in the soil. One has but to try it to
prove it. Watch your foliage and you will soon un-
derstand when to apply nitrates, if you desire to
have a beautiful foliage on your plants, and without
good foliage high-class flowers are impossible.

New York^Seed Trade

Now that the ground freezes a little
each night and there are occasional flur-
ries of snow, counter trade in bulbs and
orders for these by mail, though stimu-
lated by advertising in the daily papers,
are drawing to a close. Seedsmen and
importers, nevertheless, have open to
them the old time outlet for any sur-
plus of bulbs which they may have, name-
ly the growers who fo.-ce bulbs under
glass for flowers for the wholesale cut
flower market. These growers have in
past years always been ready to gather
in all surpluses in bulbs in the hands of
seedsmen and importers in the last of De-
cember. The present outlook, however,
by no means indicates any large surpluses
in any kind of Dutch or French bulbs.
Even before a cleanup in these bulbs has
been reached the sales of domestic bulbs,
especially of Gladioli has begun, and also
of domestic Spiraea clumps and of south-
ern grown Amaryllis and Tuberose. Sales
of bulbs, indeed, including those in cold
storage, reach all the year round.

At Max Schling's Seed Store, 22 West
59th st., it is reported a shipment of
hardy Japanese Lily bulbs was received
last week embracing such species as aura-
tum and its varieties, also rubrum, al-
bum, Melpomene, etc. Store Manager
Carl Giessler says that the open weather
has helped extend what has been the larg-
est bulb selling season they have have ever
experienced, during which their original
imrjortations of bulbs sold clean out and
had to be replenished several times.
Flower seeds are arriving from England
and Germany. A more than usually well
arranged window display at this store is
drawing many customers from passersby.
This is made up of bulb bowls of the
choicer kinds of ware, some empty and
others filled, either with dormant or grow-
ing bulbs or Lily of the Valley pips. This
store, by the way, is one of the leading
pioneers in exploiting this line of mer-
chandise, and has met with pleasing suc-
cess in the way of large and steady sales.
The background of this window display is
a very complete line of horticultural,
floricultural, agricultural and countryside
books, the idea being to create a horti-
cultural desire by showing the people the
possibilities and then catering to their de-
sire.

The MacNifT Horticultural Co., 196
Greenwich st., expects to wind up the
auction season as far as bulbs are con-
cerned by offering on Tuesday, Dee. 12,
a late mammoth consignment of Dutch
bulbs. Counter trade in bulbs is holding
on well, this company reports; it has been
and for several months and is still the
best bulb selling season it ever exper-
ienced.

F. Rynveld & Sons, 61 Vesey st., repon
a strong demand, both by florists and
store trade for cold storage Valley. Their
new crop pips are coming over in quan-
tity, and their quality being quite satis-
factory.

Stumpp & Walter Co. 30-32 Barclay
st. have "taken time by the forelock" and
are now making an attractive window dis-
play of rustic, Cedar bird houses in sev-
eral patterns and sizes. It is certainly
wise to encourage the birds to nest around
our suburban and country homes, and to
place bird houses for this purpose over
Winter, so the birds will find them ready
when they again come North.

Vaughan's Seed Store, 41-43 Barclay
st. reports a practical cleanup of all
Dutch bulbs. Another car of Lilium gi-
ganteum bulbs is en route from the Pa-
cific Coast for storage in this city. The
mails are heavy each day with orders for
Christmas goods. Large orders for Gla-
diolus bulbs are coming in and all hands
in the bulb department are busy clearing
up to make ready for several carloads of
these bulbs from Vaughan's Michigan
Gladiolus farm. The first carloads of

Tuberose and Caladium bulbs have ar-
rived from the South. All Valley pips
are in and, packed in cases of 250 to 2500
pips, are in storage for future demands.
Roman J. Irwin, 43 West 28th st. re-
ports the arrival of two carloads of Lily
bulbs, one of giganteum and the other
of the hardy Japanese Lilies. These bulbs
are being reshipped in filling of orders al-
ready booked. A large consignment of
Neubert's Valley pips have arrived from
Germany. Tuberous Begonia and Gladi-
olus and other miscellaneous bulbs are
now in. Flower seeds, Mr. Irwin reports,
are moving briskly as well as all of the
several kinds of bulbs above mentioned.

Chicago Seed Trade

Lilium giganteum, new crop, is in the
hands of all the dealers. Price lists of
holiday stock have been mailed by all the
houses that handle this material.

At Vaughan's Seed Store, a general in-
crease is noted in the over the counter
Fall bulb trade. J. C. Vaughan was
speaking before the Indiana State Flo-
rists Association at its monthly meeting
at Terre Haute on Dee. 5.

A. Henderson & Co. have had a good
cleanup on all bulb stock. The store shows
a fine array for holiday trade, featuring
many novelties in decorative material, in-
cluding miniature Christmas trees, Cycla-
men plants from the greenhouses of the
Illinois Plant Co. at Batavia. Baby
Rambler Roses for Easter forcing are
moving well.

A. Miller of the American Bulb Co. left
Sunday for New York, where he goes to
complete final arrangements for the open-
ing of the New York branch.

Two carloads of Lilium giganteum bulbs
were received the past week. Vincent Niel
who has been confined at the Henrotin
Hospital, the result of an operation, is
improving nicely. The confinement is of
longer duration than was expected. Mrs.
Niel is continually with him and his room
is kept well supplied with flowers. The
Chicago Florists Club sent him a hand-
some basket of yellow Chrysanthemums.

Ralph B. Howe of the W. W. Barnard
Co. reports the arrival of the first Holly
and Christmas trees. The Holly is in
good condition this season, being well
berried and glossy green in foliage. A
handsome circular in colors of holiday ma-
terial can be had for the asking.

The New Science of Growing Seeds

A Few Particulars About Electroculture

To understand the marvels produced
by seed electrification we must first learn
to regard the seed as a cell containing a
certain amount of atomic electric energy.
Like any other cell, it is properly con-
structed and insulated. The electric energy
at the time of seed ripening should be
100 per cent, and according to the quality
of the seeds insulation, it runs down eith-
er quickly or slowly. We may, for com-
parative purposes, consider the Pea and
the Parsnip as two extreme classes. The
Pea, being well insulated, and the Pars-
nip poorly. We often hear it said that
Parsnip seed is a poor keeper. How
many persons have connected the poor
germination of the Parsnip seed with the
fact of its faulty insulation.

Nature, who rules all these things,
caused the Parsnip to produce its seed in
thousands, which were scattered on the
wind, and carried here and there, until
a suitable locality was found for its
growth.

The Pea, being heavy, had naturally
to grow near where it fell, and had to
be well insulated in order that it could
(Concluded on page 1530)

hold on until such time as storms or the
foot of beast gave it a means of finding
a growing space. A slight dampness
would not start the Pea growing.

The whole secret of the success of seed
electrification is that it follows closely on
the natural method, and the Bennett sys-
tem, or induction method, after penetrat-
ing the insulation by soaking, replaces the
lost electric energy, and by drying rein-
states the seed again.

Many persons are following electrocul-
ture as the result of a book published by
Carr Bennett, of Wentworthville, N. S.
W., giving the results of his labors in
the new field.

Some surprising results have been ob-
tained by numbers of experimenters, and
a great number of letters are held at
Wentworthville testifying to results
achieved. One lady has by seed electri-
fication produced Lucerne which gave a
cutting of 2ft. high in as many weeks'
growth. Tomato seed has germinated in
two days, and Cucumber seed in 4S hours.
Of course, the whole study is yet in its
infancy, and much will undoubtedly be
learned the next few years.

It is probable that in electroculture,
Mr. Bennett has given to the world what
will become the cure for the many dis-
eases that affect plant growths today. To-
matoes from electrified seed have proved
peculiarly immune from disease, and though
no one better than the experimenter him-
self knows the danger of claiming that
disease is conquered, it may be safely as-
serted that the first step toward that end
has been achieved. Absolute immunity
can only come by years of persistent ex-
perimenting, and producing from immune
plants.

The induction system is the simplest
form of seed electrification, and may be
carried out by anyone with ordinary in-
telligence, and when using a properly scal-
ed battery, without any electrical knowl-
edge.

The quality of the products are much
improved by the electrification of the
seed, and this is only in reason for an
electrified seed gives quick growth, and
quick growth means a prime vegetable.

Seed treatment does not revive the
dead seed, but it will vitalize the
anaemic run down seed, which, under or-
dinary conditions, would not sprout
strongly enough to work through the sur-
face, or if it did so, would perish early. —

A New Lily

The Yokohama Nursery Co., Ltd., of
London, Eng., is offering in a limited
way a new stock of Lilium longiflorum
named sinensis .from western China. This
stock is from an entirely new locality and
in offering it, the introducers speak of its
extremely vigorous growth and early and
profuse blooming. It is specially recom-
mended for the market grower.

Catalogs Received

"* J. J. Grullemans & Sons, Lisse, Holland. —
Special American edition of trade offers of Dahlias,
Gladioli, Peony and other roots. The list of
Gladioli is extensive and includes the most notable
florist's sorts, Grulleman's Maiden's Blush among
them. It is not too much to say that this firm
Is responsible for some of the finest Gladiolus in
commerce.

The McCallum Co., 137 Seventh st., Pitts-
burgh. Special list of Christmas goods, including
made-up wreaths of dried foliage, dyed Ruscus, and
other foliage, ribbons, frieze, etc.

John H. Neeley, Paulding, O. — Special list of
Peonies, Irises, Oriental Poppies and Gladioli.
Presumably represents the varieties offered for
sale, but no prices or descriptions are given.

T. Wylie, Seattle Wash.— Catalog of hardy
perennials and unusually extensive. The climate
of the Northwest is peculiarly adapted to the vigor-

ous growth of this class of stock and the list in-
cludes more than the average of named kinds,
particularly of perennial Asters, Campanulas,
Clematis, etc. Several little-known varieties or
novelties are listed, including the deep yellow
Geum Lady Stratheden, and Eremurus in several
forms. We note, too, that home grown Emperor,
Empress and other Narcissus are quoted at lower
retail rates than the average imported stock.
Several forms of hardy Primroses other than the
Polyanthus type are quoted also. The catalog is
clearly printed and contains several illustrations.

Hurst & Son, 152 Houndsditch, London, Eng. —
Special Fall offer of flower seeds. An unusually
extensive list and embraces many special strains
from originators, including Elliott's Aquilegia
hybrids, Dianthus Allwoodii, Blackmore and
Langdons Delphiniums, Regal Lupins, etc. The
novelty list accompanying the catalog embraces
several new culinary Peas, dwarf Cinerarias, dwarf
deep blue Forget-me-not, two giant Chabaud Car-
nations that flower in six months; scented Lupins,
Cuthbert's new Streptocarpus and the famous
Douglas Auriculas.

Bertrand H. Fair, Wyomissing, Pa. — "Better
Plants by Farr" is the legend on this blue-covered
catalog of hardy plants. As a catalog for the home
gardener it certainly has its appeal. Well illus-
trated and listing a great variety of Peonies, in-
cluding all the latest novelties; Irises new and old;
Phlox — owing to the exclusion of imported stock
and the great demand in recent years, Mr. Farr
is unable to supply any Phlox until the Fall of
1923 — Chrysanthemums, shrubs, etc., this catalog
while not so important as the regular Farr volume,
is worthy of close study.

Huntington Beach Nurseries, Huntington
Beach, Cal. — Price list of Dahlias for 1923.
Enumerates a large and important collection of
all types. About 400 varieties are briefly described
and the prices quoted are for divisions or pot roots.

Reasoner Bros., Royal Palm Nurseries, Oneco,
Fla. — Tropical Grounds Book. Perhaps the most
unique catalog in America, as it is devoted to
many subjects such as can only be grown in semi-
tropical regions. To the resident of Florida or to
those who have conservatories further North, this
catalog possesses a strong appeal, but it also lists
many subjects that are more or less hardy. The
Royal Palm Nurseries make a specialty of land-
scape work and several illustrations serve to show
what wonderful tropical effects are produced by
the firm. Shade trees, palms, flowering shrubs,
Roses. Vines, ferns, bulbs and fruit all come under
separate headings, and the descriptions are par.
ticularly good, thus affording information that is
not always to be found readily.

Theodore Payne, Los Angeles, Cal. — Bulbs
and seeds for Fall planting are listed in this little
pocket catalog The usual Holland stock is offered
but of California growth, or at least, domestic; we
note Spanish Iris, Ranunculus, Oxalis, Wat-
sonia's Calochortus, Brodiaea, Begonias, etc. In
addition to regular lines of flower seeds, large num-
bers of California wild flowers are offered, afford-
ing the home gardener an unusual opportunity of
learning more about the flora of the Pacific Coast
reg.ons.

Chautauqua Flowerfield Co., Bemus Point,
N. Y. — Retail price list of choice Gladioli, Mont-
bretia, Peonies, Iris and hardy perennials. Con-
siderable variety is offered and brief descriptions
are given in each instance, but we cannot refrain
from remarking the several errors appearing on the
last page, where Leliums Canadence and Japonicum
Gigantherum (Easter Lily) are offered. Presum-
ably the proofreader was in a hurry. We question,
too, the correctness of listing Hemerocallis under
Li Hums.

Michell's Seed House, Philadelphia. — Handy
trade order sheet in the form of a catalog. The
customer has but to mark the quantity needed and
return the list in the envelope provided. The list
gives a complete assortment of flower and vege-
table seeds, as well as Gladioli, Canna, and other
roots. A slip announces the fact that the firm
handles best grade Holly and other Christmas
greens.

Richard Eiener Co., Kentfield, Cal. — We
raise our hats once again to this firm for permit-
ting us to see its elegant catalog of Gladioli and
other specialties. The colored covers show the
glowing pink Gladiolus, Richard Diener and th«
White Elf. The inside covers depict individual
blooms of eight other varieties, all exquisitely pro-
duced on grain paper which gives an oil color effect.
These pictures appear to be from direct color
photographs. A colored insert shows the strain of
Diener's Ruffled Petunias. Only the Diener va-
rieties of Gladioli are listed; many are shown in
finely produced halftone cuts. Newly bred Polish
Wheat, Amaryllis (Hippeastrums) , hybrids, and
seed of Petunias, Pansies, Tomatoes, and Dahlias
are other lines featured.

Kramer Bros. Nurseries, Ontario, Cal. —
Small list of fruit trees, including Apples, Walnuts,
Apricots, Peaches, Prunes, Grape vines, etc.,
offered in lots of ten or by the 1000.

Slius & Groot, Enkhuizen, Holland. — Whole-
sale price list of vegetable and agricultural seeds.
Offers considerable variety in bulk. Cable code
words for all subjects and weights are given.

LILY OF THE VALLEY PIPS

We regret to inform the trade that an unprecedented demand for Cold Storage
Valley Pips has exhausted our supply, which we thought would be ample to take
care of orders until this year's crop is ready for distribution.

The new crop is reported to be short in the best forcing grade pips. Consci-
entious shippers in Germany are already declining orders. Our own supply will
be smaller than last year. Prices on early orders will remain about the same.
There is no ground for hasty action, but growers of Valley should carefully
figure out what quantity they can use in 1923, and then proceed to compare
qualities as soon as the stocks arrive. It is advisable to place orders for the
entire season as soon as the right stock at the right price has been located, for
there will not be much cold storage stock carried over until next Fall by jobbers
and dealers, according to present indications.

We accept orders for new Valley now, subject to your approval of our quality.

"You will he pleased."

A. E. Kunderd, Goshen, Ind. — Kunderd Gladioli
for 1923 is the title of this beautiful catalog which
bears covers in black oil which eight varieties of
Gladioli are shown in natural colors. A double-
page color plate fills the center, while two other
color plates are included also; in all, over 30 vari-
eties are depicted as well as about the same num-
ber in half tone, including the new S1000 variety,
the rose colored Laciniatus. This catalog can be
numbered among the best produced in America,
although it has its limitations, being devoted to
one subject. In a foreword, we learn something
about the development of the ruffled Gladiolus
and also of the new laciniated type. Opinions will
doubtless differ with regard to the beauty or com-

mercial value of laciniated flowers, more so in con-
nection with Liliaceous flowers. Of the ruffled
type, twelve novelties are offered, while about a
score of plain petaled novelties are listed for the
first time. The collection of older varieties of
these two types makes a big total. Some 14
novelties of Primulinus type are featured; with
this type Mr Kunderd has achieved great renown.
Several pages are devoted to letters from delighted
growers of the Kunderd Gladioli and it is interest-
ing to note that these letters are from all over the
U. S. and Canada as well as Japan, England, Porto
Puco, New Zealand, and elsewhere. It should be

Week at the Capital

By CLARENCE L. LINZ

Industries Active

Substantial increases by basic indus-
tries were the outstanding features of the
industrial situation during the month of
November. That industry has been
steadily on the upgrade, says the Fed-
eral Reserve Board report, is indicated by
the fact that while the total number of
railroad cars loaded during the month of
October was nearly at a maximum, yet
the car shortage on Nov. 1 was the larg-
est ever reported. The large movement of
manufactured goods is indicated by the
fact that the loadings of miscellaneous
freight by railroads were larger in Octo-
ber than in any month since 1920.

Further, a tremendous movement of
holiday goods is indicated by reports filed
by the railroads with the American Rail-
way Association, showing the number of
cars loaded each week with freight. Dur-
ing the week ended Nov. 18, 561,517 cars
of merchandise and miscellaneous freight
were moved, an increase of 86,999 cars
as compared with the same week in 1921
and 70,266 cars more than during the cor-
responding week in 1920.

Income Tax Payment

The Secretary of the Treasury calls at-
tention to the fact that payment of the
income and profits taxes due Dec. 15,
1922, may be made in any of the following
ways: (1) cash; (2) cheques, certified or
uncertified, money orders and bank drafts;
(3) Treasury certificates of indebtedness of
either series maturing Dec. 15, 1922,
which will be accepted at par with an ad-
justment of accrued interest; and (4) 4%
per cent Victory notes in coupon form,
whether or not called for redemption,
which will be accepted at par with' an
adjustment of accrued interest.

The Treasury's estimates indicate that
the income and profits taxes to be col-
lected during December 1922, will amount
to about $275,000,000. The Treasury
certificates maturing Dec. 15, 1922,
amount to about $200,000,000, while the
outstanding i% per cent Victory notes
called for redemption on that date
amount to about $700,000,000. Victory
notes in coupon form, as well as Treas-
ury certificates, have been made accept-
able in payment of the taxes, in order to
furnish an additional convenience to tax-
payers and at the same time facilitate the
refunding of the Victory Liberty Loan.

State Quarantines and the Mails

The Post Office Department is . giving
all possible cooperation to the Depart-
ment of Agriculture in the enforcement
of quarantine orders issued by the lat-
ter department against insect infestations
and plant diseases of various kinds, ac-
cording to the annual report just sub-
mitted to the President by the Postmas-
ter General. All postmasters within
areas quarantined by the Agri. Dept. have
been cautioned to exert the utmost vigi-
lance to see that no parcel containing
quarantined plants are accepted for mail-
ing to free regions.

The postal service is also cooperating
heartily with the States that have taken

advantage of the Act of March 4, 1915,
by providing for terminal inspection of
plants and plant products mailed into
such States, with the result that this per-
ishable material is being handled in the
mails with greater expedition and in har-
mony with the desires of the officials re-
sponsible for the enforcement of the State
laws pertaining to the matter. Utah was
added during the past year to the list
of States having provided for the ter-
minal inspection of plant material, the
others, in addition to the District of Co-
lumbia and Hawaii, which have previous-
ly made such provisions, being Arizona,
Arkansas, California, Florida, Mississippi,
Montana and Washington.

Mail Advertising and Replies

The report also makes a number of
recommendations for legislation which it
is believed will facilitate the service ren-
dered to patrons. Attention is again
called to the demand for an arrangement
under which persons and concerns send-
ing advertising literature to prospective
customers, may pay the postage on re-
plies thereto. The experience of the P.
O. Dept. has shown that when advertis-
ers enclosed stamped envelopes or cards
with advertising matter, a greater num-
ber of replies are received than when re-
turn postage is not furnished, but this
procedure is unsatisfactory, owing to loss
when such postage is not used. It is
pointed out if the advertiser could pay
the postage on the replies without hav-
ing to enclose postage with his advertis-
ing literature, he would obtain all the
advantages now gained by inclosing post-
age, and at the same time eliminate the
large loss caused in cases where no use is
made of the return postage.

Department of Agri. and Quarantines

Activities of the Department of Agri-
culture of interest to the florist trade are
dealt with at some length in the annual
report of Secretary Wallace, which has
just been submitted to the President. In
view of the recent hearing which was
held on the proposal to increase the list
of bulbs permitted entry under the quar-
antine of the Federal Horticultural
Board, there is considerable interest at-
tached to Sec'y Wallace's declaration of
the attitude to be followed by the depart-
ment in dealing with such matters.

"For over three years Quarantine 37
has been in force," the secretary reports.
"This quarantine regulates and conditions
the entry of foreign plants and seeds for
propagation. It has been severely criti-
cized, both by importers and many ama-
teur florists and horticulturists. To give
full opportunity for such criticism and
for considering it on its merits, I called a
conference at Washington in May of 1922.

"This conference was largely attended
by representatives of the various trade
associations, horticultural and agricultural
societies and associations, both regional
and national, and officials of the various
State horticultural, agricultural and quar-
antine agencies. In addition, there were
many individuals interested in horticul-
ture, as well as delegates from England,
Holland, Belgium and France.

"This conference was helpful in making
clear the conditions which led to the es-
tablishment and enforcement of the quar-
antine, and many who have been very

critical found reason to modify their views
and their criticisms. While, from time
to time, it may be possible to make
changes which will render this quarantine
less burdensome and annoying, the need
for it seems very clear. Most of our
damaging insect pests have come with
imported foreign plants. Even on the
plants which were permitted entry under
the quarantine during the last fiscal year
there were intercepted about 500 dif-
ferent species of insect pests, and also a
considerable number of plant diseases.

Japanese Beetle Scare

"The Japanese beetle has become a se-
rious pest, apparently one of the most
dangerous insect introductions made in
many years. In the area of original in-
festation, where the insect has become
most abundant, the damage to foliage and
fruit is alarming. This original area was
quarantined, and this has checked the
rapidity of the spread of the insect, but
it is extending its operations at the rate
of about five miles a year, and at any
time may make extended jumps. During
1921 in some 200,000 baskets of Sweet
Corn which moved out of the infested
district, upward of 5000 beetles were
found.

"The insect may be carried by almost
any farm, garden, florist, or nursery
products, and also is a strong flyer. Hope
of eradication was early abandoned, and
while the rapidity of its spread can be
retarded by efficient quarantine, there
seems no question but that in time this
pest will spread throughout the United
States. Holding it in check by means
of a quarantine is important in that it
gives time to study methods of control,
and especially to find and introduce nat-
ural enemies, upon which we must rely
for the most effective control. Large
shipments of parasites of this Japanese
beetle have been received."

Corn Borer and Pine Rust

No new outbreak of the Corn borer
was reported during the year, but it has
maintained itself in the areas previously
found infected. The secretary urges that
quarantine and control measures should
be used vigorously in an effort to re-
strict its spread. The department is also
making considerable progress in fighting
black stem rust of Wheat and white Pine
blister rust by the extermination of Bar-
berry bushes. Five and one-half million

indoors or outdoors the year around.
They will produce more and better flowers
outdoors than the old late Spencers, be-
cause they bloom 3 to 4 weeks earlier,
before the hot weather sets in. Plant
after the Chrysanthemum and get a full
crop for Easter. Plant in cool frames or
outdoors just before the freezing begins
and get a full crop in May for Decoration
Day. Plant out of doors in the Spring
and they will bloom early in June.

Week at the Capitol

(Continued from page 1534)
Barberry bushes have so far been found
and destroyed, but it is expected that at
least that many more must be removed
before the danger comes to an end. The
magnitude of the task has grown as the
■department got deeper into it, it is de-
clared, and the fact that the Barberry
bushes are so difficult to dislodge, sprout-
ing again if any portion of the roots are
left in the soil, has made the work very
■difficult. At present the department is
experimenting with chemicals as a des-
tructive agent and is meeting with some
success, and it is believed that this meth-
od of eradicating the Barberry bush may
finally be found the most effective.

More Funds Sought for Rust Control

A delegation from the United States
Spring Wheat Belt recently appeared be-
fore the sub-committee on agriculture of
the House Appropriations Committee,
seeking $500,000 with which to carry on
' a campaign for the extermination of the
barberry (Berberis vulgaris) which har-
bors one stage of the black stem rust
of Wheat. This year's appropriation for
the fight was $350,000, and a like sum
was asked by the Department of Agricul-
ture for the fiscal year 1924. The lat-
ter recommendation, however, was re-
duced by the Budget Bureau to $200,000
which, according to the recent Conference
for the Prevention of Grain Bust, is en-
tirely inadequate.

It is contended that only two more
years' vigorous work will be required to
eradicate the Barberry from the Wheat
growing districts, where in the last three
years it has been responsible for an an-
nual loss of more than 50 million bushels
of grain. If additional, appropriations
are withheld, however, it is believed that
all the time, effort and money spent here-
tofore will be wasted, because the plant
will tend soon to regain its foothold. It
is _ reported that all States infested by
this disease propose to make appropria-
tions of their own during the next few
months to enable them to cooperate with
the Federal Government. Included among
the delegates were Professors E. C. Stak-

man of the University of Minnesota and
G. H. Coons of the Michigan Agricultural
College, as well as Harrison Fuller, sec-
retary of the Rust Conference, and repre-
sentatives of various farm organizations.

H. H. Willis, who has been in charge
of the inspection and fumigation work
of the Federal Horticultural Board at
El Paso, Tex., has been temporarily trans-
ferred to Washington to assist in the in-
spection of plants introduced under spe-
cial permit. * * * Harvey A. Horton,
who has been stationed at Eagle Pass,
Tex., for the past two years, has been
transferred to the port of Seattle for the
purpose of assisting in ship inspection.

Atlanta, Ga.

Trade Active

Thanksgiving business was good,
with 'Mums as the favorite cut flowers;
many more could have been sold had the
supply been adequate. After several
weeks of a • demoralized market, on ac-
count of the unlimited outdoor stock, it
was a new sensation to experience a short-
age in the cut flower line. There was a
good demand for potted plants, Begonias
selling well.

known as The Rosary Flower Shop, will
open at 14 W. Alabama st., with Wm.
Agnew as manager. * * * Another
new store,the Peachtree Floral Shop, was

The Market

Dec. 2. — The following item ap-
peared in one of the daily newspapers
of New Orleans this morning, and was
read with much interest by members' of
the local trade : "Old Man Gloom, who
has been making his home in the shops
of the various local florists for the past
month, suddenly packed his trunk a few
days before Thanksgiving and left for
parts unknown. As he left no forward-
ing address it has not yet been definitely
decided whether he received a mysterious
note from the Ku Klux Klan or a more
pressing invitation to come elsewhere to
spend the Christmas holidays."

Since the departure of this anything
but welcome guest, business has picked
up considerably. It is far from top notch
yet, of course, but it is so much better
than it was during the greater part of
November that complaints are few and
far between. Thanksgiving Day sales
were nothing to brag about, as it seems
that all anybody thought about on that
day were the races ; the florists generally
closed their shops at noon. The fact that
although holiday sales were not so good,
business is picking up and staying better,
is a pretty good indication that this is
not just a temporary rise in the market,
but that better times will continue dur-
ing the rest of the Winter.

The racing season opened officially in
New Orleans on Nov. 30 and will con-
tinue until late in the Spring. With the
opening of the tracks came hundreds of
tourists and followers of the ponies.
Florists, especially in the hotel section of
the city, expect to get quite a little busi-
ness out of this class of people, for when
luck is with them they spend their win-
nings freely. But it is too early yet to
tell just to what extent they will affect
business.

The variety of flowers on the market
at the present time is rather limited.
The home grown Radiance Rose, which
is raised largely outofdoors, is becom-
ing rather scarce on account of the cold
weather which stopped its bloom. The
hothouse Roses which are raised here as

Ophelia, Crusader, Premier and Colum-
bia are still in good condition and are
helping to supply the market.

The Chrysanthemums are about over,
although a few bunches are to be found
in the flower shops. These are practi-
cally all from the North, although one
florist stated that he had received in ex-
cellent condition, a shipment from Cali-
fornia. Some Cape Jasmines are put-
ting in their appearance and the first
home-grown Sweet Peas are now dis-
played. Some beautiful large Cyclamen
plants in full bloom have been seen in
several downtown flower stores. Poin-
settias have started to come in for the
holidays and are being retailed for from
50c. to $4 a plant depending on the
number of stalks.

Christmas tree shipments will soon ar-
rive, several florists having ordered car-
load lots. The first Holly, Smilax and
Mistletoe has appeared, and much more
is on the way. Some of the downtown
stores already have their Holly decora-
tions up so the florists have not stocked
up a minute too soon.

Local Horticulturists Meet

An interesting meeting of the New
Orleans Horticultural Society was held
last Sunday afternoon at the nursery of
A. Alost in Gentilly Terrace, at which
time E. R. Barber, former United States
entomologist stationed in New Orleans,
gave his report on the camphor scale
question. He had been sent to Wash-
ington by the society to attend the Fed-
eral Horticultural Board hearing on the
subject on Nov. 20, where he endeavored
to show the Board why the quarantine
was unnecessary. As it was proved that
there is already in force in Louisiana a
thorough system to hold in check the
camphor scale, the proposed quarantine
was not imposed. The horticulturists
were well pleased with the result, for had
the quarantine gone into effect it would
have meant the financial ruin of many of
them.

Peter A. Chopin gave an interesting
address on "The Extension of Credit of

Delinquent Accounts." The work being
done by the Society for the Home of In-
curables was also discussed and ap-
proved. The organization some time ago
voted to put the grounds of the institu-
tion in good condition which is now being
done. Donations of shrubbery and flow-
ering plants were made by the different
florists, and some gave small sums of
money to help pay the labor cost.

The next meeting of the society will
be held the second Thursday of the month
at the home of P. A. Ohopiu at which
time C. W. Eichling, pioneer New Or-
leans florist, will deliver a talk on a sub-
ject to be selected by himself.

News Notes

The New Orleans Retail Florists
Club held a meeting Friday night at the
shop of P. A. Chopin on St. Charles ave.
and discussed a number of subjects
which, we are told, cannot be given out.
Those of us who don't belong will simply
have to gnash our teeth in silence and
wonder what it's all about. It did slip
past the censor, however, that a lot of
good things to eat and drink were served
at the meeting. The next session is
slated for Friday, Jan. 5.

Charles Bble has decided not to for-
get the babies and in consequence has
just received a stock of attractive little
baskets. They are more on the order of
little work baskets lined with pink, blue
and other colored maline. The sides drop
down and disclose a comb, a brush, a rat-
tle and a powder box fastened to each;
on the bottom of the basket is a space
for a miniature bouquet. There are really
novel little things.

Frank J. Reyes, feeling the coming of
the Winter blasts, decided that he must
have a closed ear and in consequence
took his old bus around and traded it for
a brand new Studebaker sedan. Now
blow on cold winds, he says, for I won't
feel them now.

Mr. Reyes has already received and
disposed of his first batch of Christmas
trees, and states that a whole carload is
scheduled to arrive Dec. 12. He also has
on hand some Holly and Smilax which
he expects to use in decorating his store.
A new shipment of parrakeets and other
birds has just come in from New York,
and with them an assortment of brass
and wicker cages which will make excel-

lent Christmas presents. Mr. Reyes has
in stock, too, a new lot of fantail gold
fish which he expects to dispose of rap-
idly. Five hundred Radiance Rose
bushes were put in stock last week by
this shop, and in seven days' time they
were practically all disposed of at $9
per doz.

Louisville, Ky.

Dec. 2. — Louisville florists went through
with one of the best Thanksgivings in the
history of the city, there being a great
demand for flowers and plants. Fine,
smiling weather resulted in a big atten-
dance at outdoor functions, while re-
division of the two old high schools has
resulted in the old time rivalry. Close
upon 15,000 persons packed into the park
this year to see the two old enemies renew
hostilities, and while the boys carried
banners, the girls carried flowers.

Chrysanthemums were a little scarce,
due to the late season and warm Fall
weather, but white Chrysanthemums tied
in red ribbon gave the Manual High
School color combination of red and white,
while yellow Chrysanthemums tied in
purple ribbon made up the purple and
old gold combination of the Louisville
Male High School.

The Market

Dec. 4. — Last week cut flower ar-
rivals of all kinds shortened up and
prices advanced along some lines. Fri-
day and Saturday there was quite a flut-
ter in the market, booking orders for the
First Bachelor's Cotillon supply; this
great social event happens the first Mon-
day in December every year and opens
the season. We learn that much out of
town stock was shipped in to help out the
big demand for fancy high grade flow-
ers— American Beauty, Russell, American
Legion, Valley, Violets and orchids — and,
of course, this stock commanded fancy
prices.
News Notes

The first Monday German of The Bach-
elors' Cotillon took place on Dec. 4 at the
Lyric. Always the great opening event
that officially inaugurates the social sea-
son in Baltimore. This year it surpassed

of decorations, for which it has always
been famous. The palm decorations are
never very elaborate but the colorful array
of flowers that accompanies each debu-
tante's entrance, gives charm and ele-
gance, and makes veritable bowers of the.
hall after the bouquets are placed in
the festoons of Smilax that surround the
dancing floor. Forty-six debutantes made
their bow this year, surrounded by the
greatest profusion of Roses, Orchids, Val-
iey and Violets that has ever been seen
at the first Cotillon. All the prominent
retail stores report a great volume of
business and most of them an increase
over last year. With the exception of
Cattleyas, orchids, the supply of high
grade flowers was ample to meet all de-
mands. Beauty, Russell, Columbia, Pre-
mier, Hadley and American Legion were
supreme in Roses, with Valley, Gardenias,
Violets, Sweet Peas and Bouvardia claim-
ing favor with many of the fair debu-
tantes of this and former years.

J. Fred Michell, Philadelphia, was
calling upon the trade on Monday, Tues-
day and Wednesday. He reports a very
busy Fall season in bulbs. The firm is
now making ready for the big run on
early flower seeds.

BALTIMORE— (Continued from, page 1538)
say he is in the expert grower class. One
rarely fails to find everything in ship-
shape indoors and out. His specialties
are ferns, Cyclamen, Geraniums, Cinera-
rias and Pansies. He is just as success-
ful with his Chrysanthemums and Spring
pot plants. In the' Cyclamen house the
plants show most excellent culture and
the best assortment of colors; in fact,
some shades that we had not seen in our
travels. Mr. Babikow purchased the seed-
lings in the early Spring from Henry F.
Michell Co. and he tells us they are the
finest batch of Cyclamen they have ever
grown. There are 45,000 Pansy plants
in the field with not a weed in or between
the rows. Harry is surely living up to
the motto that runs something like this:
"Eternal vigilance is the secret of good
stock."

Here are a couple of advance notes on
Stevenson Bros. Christmas crop. Ned tells
us "that the Euphorbia Jacquiniaeflora
has made a wonderful growth of well set
sprays." We predict something of a sen-
sation to present day flower lovers, when
this grand old time favorite flower is
shown during the holidays. The usual
fine crop of Richmond Roses is expected
to be on time. We just can't tell you,
but it is eight or nine years that these
red Roses have been growing and flowering
in the same solid beds, and every season
they have been a paying proposition.

There is a big lot of fine Cyclamen
plants being finished up for Christmas
sales about this old town; many more
than ever before, and don't you fellows
fail to watch them close and have them
fit and ready for the big rush. R. H.

Chrysanthemum Redivivus
in England

As in America, the Chrysanthemum as
a show flower in England has for some
years been under something approaching
a cloud, inasmuch that the private gar-
deners and amateurs were not as much

given to growing large exhibition flowers.
The fierce competition was less noticeable,
and many aired the view that the show
'Mum had its day when the National
Chrysanthemum Society held its shows at
the old time Aquarium and the famed
Crystal Palace. Then the giants of those
days really did battle, both trade and
private.

The coming of the great war did further
injury to the cause of the 'Mum, but
happily there were a few stalwarts in the
trade, some of them purely commercial
cut flower growers, who still held to their
old love,

Their faith in the 'Mum's resurrection
as the public's Fall favorite has amply
been borne out, for on Nov. 16 and 17 the
old N. C. S. came back with one of the
finest exhibitions in its history. The ama-
teurs and the private growers were in
force, and the attendance at the show
was such that it even surpassed pre-war
days.

One of the old timers who never lost
faith in the 'Mum is H. J. Jones, who has
introduced many a fine 'Mum, among them
Bob Pulling. As reported on page 1481,
Dec. 2. H. J. Jones lias, this Fall, staged
Chrysanthemum exhibits surpassing any
previously seen in London, his display at
the R. H. S. October meeting containing
3000 blooms, and which was credited as
being the finest trade display of cut
'Mums ever set up. Seemingly, H. J.
Jones opined that he alone could surpass
it, and he accordingly did so at the
N. C. S. show. London show officials are
not apt to get excited, but on this occa-
sion the R. H. S. and the N. C. S. went
the whole course. The N. C. S. gave a
special gold medal and the congratulations
of the society and also the Clay gold
medal, which is annually offered for the
best exhibit. For the same exhibit the
R. H. S. officials awarded its regular gold
medal, its highest award. Assuredly the
greatest collection of honors ever gained
with a trade exhibit of one flower.

Other great trade groups winning gold
medals were staged by Wells & Co. and
Luxford & Co. Godfrey & Son exhibited

As showing the trend of the times, and
the difficulty of raising really new exhi-

the 50 various seedlings staged for certifi-
cates gained an award. Some ten awards
were made, five of them decoratives or
commercial type, and the others singles.
Especially fine singles, classed as veritable

That "Christmassy" Touch

The flickering yellow flame of wax candles . . .
The warm color of the Yuletide fireplace . . . The
blaze of brilliance against the dark velvet green
of the Christmas tree . . . The bright, red ber-
ries of the lustrous-leaved Holly. ...

A Dwarf Orange or Lemon Tree fits into
the color scheme like a charm — adds a new
touch of its own, in fact, with its glossy green
leaves and golden fruit.

A wonderful Christmas seller— and profitable
at the low prices quoted by us.

The Great American Wonder Lemon

Will bear fragrant flowers and fruits in

any ordinary living room. Fruits are

immense. Equal to three or four ordinary

Lemons

This is one of the grandest fruits for house
culture ever introduced. The flowers are pure
waxy white, very sweet and like orange blos-
soms; the leaves are thick, glossy green, and
shine as if varnished. It is a strong, healthy
grower, requires no coddling, and will bear
fruits quickly as soon as established.

Dwarf Otaheite Orange

Has thick, glossy green leaves and deliciously
sweet, pure white flowers. It begins fruiting
while quite young, and bears flowers and
lovely golden yellow Oranges on the same

Gladioli

Money Makers Under Glass

Are you going to force Gladioli under
glass this season? The florist who neg-
lects to do so, makes a mistake. The
time to sell Gladioli is when they are
not in bloom in every garden outdoors;
that is, if you want to make money out
of them while you run a greenhouse es-
tablishment. There are a number of ways
to treat Gladioli under glass; you can
grow them in pots, between the Carna-
tions; on a bench by themselves, or in
solid beds. All ways are successful so
long as you don't try to force them too
hard. Of course, bulbs which have been
grown on a sandy soil and are well matured,
are best. It is a little early to plant, but
what will be a good idea and worth while,
is to order your bulbs now and, by the
way, don't neglect to include America as one
of the sorts to be used for forcing. When
you get the bulbs, spread them out thin-
ly into shallow flats and put the flats on
a shelf in a warm place, the boiler room
will do if you have no other place, for
you don't want the moist atmosphere of
a greenhouse. Two or three weeks in a
warm dry place will be of benefit; this
has been proved a fact. Also that bench
culture when the roots are confined to a
few inches of soil means earlier flowers,
and also that while a little later, the fin-
est spikes are cut from plants grown in
beds during May and June.

Callas

Dormant Stock Can Still Be Planted

You can still plant Callas and especially
if you wish plants in pots to flower
around Easter, which will be with us next
April 1. There are country florists who
find good use for flowering Callas in pots
around Easter; in fact, numbers of people
may prefer them to an Easter Lily. But
even when this is not the case, good
Calla flowers hardly ever go to waste.
In the first place, they last too long in
the cooler after being cut. We always
seem to find good use for them one way
or other. Plant the roots into 5in. or 6in.
pots and let them come along in the
Carnation house. This would be rather
too cold a place for those now well under
way, but for the freshly planted stock,
they can get along nicely then. To make
Callas bloom, you want not less than a
55 deg. house; plenty of sun and water
and roots in a pot bound condition dur-
ing the Winter, feeding occasionally with
liquid cow manure. They don't make
such rank growth as those planted out,
and the plants in benches or solid beds
will last longer and have the largest
flowers on longer stems.

Lilium speciosum

A Fine Lily for the Florist

There are a number of Lilies we class
under the hardy varieties, which reach
us in November and early December and
usually too late for planting out. Among
them Speciosum rubrum is the most popu-
lar as well as useful for the florist and
if you retail what you grow, you should
handle at least a few hundred. All that
is necessary for the present when you get
the bulbs is to plant them in 5in. or 6in.
pots, according to the size bulb; give a
good watering and stand the pots in a
deep frame to be covered with a few
inches of soil. If you cannot spare a
frame, bury the pots outdoors, but if
you do that, a foot of soil above the
pots is not too much, at least not up to
early March, not so much to protect the
bulbs as the pots they are in. Heavy
freezing don't hurt the Lilies but raises
Cain among 5in. or 6in. pots full of moist
soil. Next Spring, you can bring part
of the plants indoors if you want to
have them in flower a little earlier than
those kept outdoors. You can sell a good
number of plants for planting out next
Spring and you can plant out some in a
frame or the field. Still others can be

For Christmas

Don't Overlook This

By all means stock up well with flowering and berried plants, but fully
as important are Palms, Dracaenas, Pandanus, Ferns and other decorative
foliage plants, which form not only ideal Christmas stock but -valuable
assets, whatever is left, after the Midwinter holidays.

The retail grower is never sold out if he has a good assortment of such
plants, together with red ribbon, baskets and other trimmings to do busi-
ness with.

flowered in the pots they a(re in if
plunged up to their rims, or a little above
it outdoors.

Bouvardia Humboldtii

Carrying Plants Over for the Second
Year

If you planted young stock of Bouvar-
dia Humboldtii and the plants are near-
ing the end of their flowering period, bear
in mind that they can be carried over
for another year; in fact, are every bit
as good. Maybe not so much for those
who grow a whole house full, but surely
for the florist who carries just a few
hundred plants. Lift them when through
flowering, letting a little soil remain on
the roots. Cut the tops back to within a
foot or so of the ground and place tne
plants below a bench in the Carnation
house. Placed close together they can re-
main there until next March. If, due
to too much moisture, they start to
break, they should be removed and potted
up at any time during Winter and
placed on a sunny bench in a 55 deg.
house. Shake the soil off of the roots and
make use of a 3% or 4in. pot. Later on
in Spring, they can be planted out
again on a bench or solid bed. You can
make cuttings during late March and
April from the young growth; the cuttings
root easily if not too soft and given a
rather strong bottom heat.

Freesias

For Easter Flowering

It is not too late to plant Freesias; that
is, if you can obtain the bulbs. Planted
now and kept in a cool house, you can
manage to flower them by Easter. I
don't know whether there is a great deal
of money in late Freesias and yet the re-
tail florist in particular won't experience
any trouble in disposing of a number of
them at that time. If you can pick up
a surplus lot of bulbs, this is what I sug-
gest doing. Select a solid bed in a cool
house, one where you can manage to keep
the temperature around 40 deg., will do
nicely. Plant the bulbs in double rows
across the bench, about 2in. apart, and
allow one foot between each double row
for the planting of Gladioli bulbs later
on. The Freesias won't make much
growth for the next six weeks, but after
that will go ahead. Even from small
sized bulbs, you will obtain fair flowers
and good stems. Gladioli planted about
the end of January, won't interfere in
the least with the Freesias.

Carnations

For Outdoor Flowering

Everybody likes Roses in their gar-
den and the same is true of Carnations.
We have a good list of hardy Pinks, but
usually these don't bloom all Summer,
nor are the flowers and stems to be com-
pared with Carnations of the varieties
the florist grows under glass. If you
can offer to your patrons, strong 3%in.
or 4in. Carnations during Spring, bushy
plants such as you know will flower out-
doors, you are bound to sell a good num-
ber and while they may not flower much
early in the season, they will do so from
mid-Summer up to the end of October or
until stopped by frost. Cuttings rooted
now and kept shifted and pinched will

give you just the kind of plants you
want by next May. I don't know of any
of either the standard or new varieties
on hand, which won't do well outdoors;
the very fact that plants left in the field
after you are through housing what you
want, will soon be in bloom, if not kept
pinched back, is enough to recommend
them for outdoor flowering, even if they
are not hardy enough to stand severe
Winters. If you grow on Spring bedding
stock, it won't hurt to grow on a fair
sized batch of Carnations; with a little
pushing, you are bound to dispose of
them.

Carnation Cuttings

Early Batches for Housing

After the middle of December, it is
never too early to start in rooting Car-
nation cuttings to be grown on for the
plants you will need next Summer's
housing. If you have plenty of plants on
hand, and you only wish to propagate a
certain number for your own require-
ments, there is no hurry about getting
started; personally, I prefer a cutting
taken in January or even a little later,
to one propagated too early and allowed
to become stunted. But at this time of
the year there usually are all kind9 of
splendid cuttings to be had. Growths on
the lower part of the flowering stems
which, if removed with just a little care,
are ready for the sand without being
trimmed into shape with a knife. Cut-
tings put into sand now, don't require
shade and with the least bit of bottom
heat, will all root in less than a month.
Of course, if you should happen to have
varieties you are short of and wish to
increase your stock, the sooner you get
started taking cuttings, the better.

Grandiflora Ridiculosa

The Nurseryman and Seedsman, London,
recently quoted from The Exchange the
remarks of our Chicago correspondent on
the Chrysantheflora form of Celosia. The
N. and 8. tame poet, who weekly com-
ments on some topic of the trade, breaks
into song under the above heading. Here's
how!
If of novelties in flowers

You happen to be fond.
You'll greet with joy the latest from

Across the herring pond.

Its full and proper title is

Set out for you above,
And it's the kind of freak that some

Enthusiasts will love.

To any flower yet produced

Resemblance it has none,
For in shape and size and color

It's like a penny bun.

From the center springs a rod as straight

As one who's never sinned,
That's crowned with little tufty bits

That waggle in the wind.

Two stalks it has instead of one

So closely intertwined
That which is which and where each starts

Is difficult to find.

Other charms it has on which I haven't

Here the space to dwell,
And the only thing against it is

Its most unpleasant smell.

—Toby.

Why Banks

"Did you ever stop to think that there
would be no need of banks in this world
if there were no producers? This is be-
cause the work of banking is based en-
tirely upon the raising of crops, the man-
ufacture of goods and their distribution
to the people.

"Bank money and credit themselves are
nothing — their value lies in rendering ac-
tive service to the farmer and manufac-
turer and merchant; in placing at his com-
mand the various human and mechanical
means to carry on his work efficiently.

"There is no cleavage, therefore, between
banker and producer, their work is in ab-
solute unity, with each sharing burdens
and each enjoying the benefits. They are
economic copartners.

"Therefore, with your learning to be-
come efficient agricultural producers, I
hope you will combine understanding of
the part banking plays in all good farm-
ing. This understanding is an essential
part of your education that will bring you
more ample enjoyment of the fruits of
your endeavors.

"It is your right and your duty to un-
derstand the sound business principles of
farming and banking, for upon your
shoulders rests the responsibility for the
nation's future continued prosperity that
can be maintained only through sound
business practice."

These words were uttered by John H.
Puelicher, president of the American
Bankers Association, in an address before
the convention held at Chicago recently
by the Boys and Girls' Crop Raising
Clubs.

Mamarokeck, N. Y. — Fire destroyed
the flower* market plant of George E.
Baldwin & Co., on Rockland ave., causing
a damage of $50,000. Seeds valued at
S30,000 were destroyed.

Next Annual Convention, Chicago, 111., June 1923

Speaking of boosting. Into the editorial sanctum
(which is minus the conventional cobwebs, by the
way) there came the November issue of the A. A. N.
Booster. Just pack full of good stuff. One item Is
worth quoting. It's the breath of the spirit of prog
ress — crystallized. Also it is a more potent argument

PERHAPS round piers in a
square trimmed Privet
hedge may not be correct.
from an architectural stand-
point, yet this combination ap-
peared so attractive that we had
our photographer record the ef-
fect to pass along to readers of
The Exchange. It is unusual,
too, which may have added to
our impression of its attractive-
ness and our photograph shows
how well it frames the picture of
this suburban property, reliev-
ing the stiff monotony which a
long hedge of straight lines of-
ten has a tendency to convey.

It is true that the formation
of piers, or imitation of other
architectural features in hedges,
means more labor in main-
tenance, but when properly
planned in pleasing proportions
and well executed, the effect is
good and redounds to the credit
of the gardeners in charge. It
also bespeaks a favorable opin-
ion of the property owner's up-
keep of the grounds.

Why is it — although experts
agree that a tapered hedge,
broader at the base, represents
the ideal form to secure the best
growth — that we see so few
trimmed in this manner? Per-
. haps one reason is that many
hedges are trimmed by the job-
bing gardener who employs men
experienced only in square trim-
ming and, usually working on an hourly basis, can
not increase the time on the job to experiment on new
forms or to cut off more wood than is absolutely nec-
essary.

This last feature doubtless accounts for one seeing
so many squat hedges where the pruners never hesi-
tate to chop back the top. but appear afraid to cut
in the sides, although side pruning would make a
more dense and better proportioned hedge. A wall
that is broader than it is high would immediately
appear to us as out of proportion, yet we often see
this in the shaping of Privet hedges, and think noth-
ing of it. In our opinion the most attractive sheared
Privet hedges are those which are kept narrow with
tapered sides, coming to a flatiron point of square on
top, but always broader at the base. Any unusual
form, if not freakish, of trimming a Privet hedge,
should be illustrated by nurserymen as a means of
showing the possibilities of Privet as a hedge plant,
thereby increasing, if such is possible, the sale of this
popular shrub. Samuel Newman Baxter.

The Sun Stopped for Joshua

Take the A. A. N., for instance. On a dark horizon
its brilliance shone forth. It is rapidly rising to its
zenith. The larger it is, the more beneficial light and
heat it can distribute.

But it's like Joshua of Biblical times. Someone
started a fight and the sun stopped until it was over.
The moral is to get behind the Bigger A. A. N. move-
ment and keep the sun climbing.

If 4000 members of the nursery trade only show a
membership of 400 or 500 in the mother association
then there's something wrong. Don't be a Joshua.
Quit fighting and start Boosting.

i City and State )

ALTHOUGH associating it
with grasses and classed in
nursery catalogs with such
or close to the herbaceous peren-
nials, we venture to suggest the
possibilities of Bambusa Metake
as a broad leaved evergreen sub-
ject. In January, when the ther-
mometer has been as low as 3
deg. above zero, this plant may
be seen just as green as it was
in Summer and even more
cheery when contrasted with de-
ciduous plants in their dormant
state.

True, this foliage will become
brown before Winter is over, if
zero temperatures are reached.
The tops should then be cut
down close to the ground and as
the root remains alive, it will
put forth the following season
the usual canes of broad leaved'
blades an inch or more wide and
over 5in. long, to a height of 5ft.
or more. Young plants from di-
vided roots will grow 2ft. to 3ft.
high the first year and become
taller as the roots establish
themselves. For massing as a
porch or base planting its glossy
foliage is very effective. It is
appropriate when one wants
something that will never grow
tall or an herbaceous plant with
good, persistent foliage. It does
not object to the shade of trees,
and will thrive in cities — other
points in its favor.

Beautifying the State of Utah

By Emit Hansen, Instructor in Landscape
Gardening, Utah Agricultural College

DURING the last two years the State Agricultural
College of Utah has, through its extension divi-
sion, rendered a great service by its efforts to
beautify the State in general. In cooperation with
city officials, county officials, church authorities,
school boards, city improvement committees, etc., a
large number of homes and public places, such as
parks, city improvements, church grounds, school
grounds, auto camping grounds and factory grounds
have been improved.

The writer, who has this work in charge, feels very
encouraged with the spirit for improvement which
prevails at the present time in Utah, and through the
applications of the county agents to the extension
division an attempt will be made during the next few
years to include in this work one hundred public
places and five hundred homes each year. Such places
which have been beautified through our efforts we
term "demonstrations.''

Plans are furnished, together with specifications,
to all those places classified as public, as well as to
some home grounds. An approximate cost of nursery
stock necessary according to the plan is also fur-
nished. This approximate cost is based on prices ob-
tained from the catalogs of various nursery companies
in the United States!

Suggestions are offered as to the best varieties of
trees and shrubs for planting, but we do not buy or
sell the nursery stock ourselves. However, we ars
often asked to secure such stock necessary for cer-
tain demonstrations. In that event the orders are
placed with nursery companies who we know are
growers of such varieties wanted. This stock is then
shipped direct to the demonstrators. Otherwise, the

Beautifying the State of Utah

(Continued from page 1545)
demonstrators purchase their stock where
they desire. It has been found necessary
in many instances to place orders with
several nursery companies in order to se-
cure the suggested varieties for one dem-
onstrator.

At present great interest is being de-
veloped in the beautifying of two experi-
mental plats in the State belonging to the
Utah Agricultural College. Here a large
number of varieties of ornamental trees
and shrubs are being grown. This is
enabling us to suggest a larger number of
varieties for planting in the State than
previously were common on our markets.
The varieties which are proving to be suc-
cessful on these experimental plats
(which are located in two different sec-
tions of the State and thus provide a wide
range of conditions) are recommended for
planting to our demonstrators.

Of the varieties of trees most used on
streets and boulevards, according to our
recommendation, the following might be
mentioned: Norway Maple, Silver Ma-
ple, Oriental Plane, Ash and European
Elm. In some instances, depending on
local conditions, Box Elders and Locusts
have been recommended.

Weather Conditions

Latest reports indicate that the South
is still shipping with no signs of a let-up.
Painesville, 0., was frozen, but the last
few days in November things opened up
a trifle and a few more shipments were
got out. The North and East generally
was completely tied up Dec. 5 and 6 when
the cold wave arrived. Altogether, a Fall
season milder than usual.

New Jersey Nursery Expands

Verkades' Nurseries, North Haledon,
N. J., report that 110 acres of land were
added this Summer to the firm's hold-
ings, which they are going to work in a
general line of nursery stock. They also
report a fine trade again this Fall, all the
way through.

Nursery Imports Double

Washington, D. C. — The number of
foreign shipments of nursery stock ar-
riving in Washington under special per-
mit during the Fall shipping season of
1922 is more than double the number re-
ceived during the same period of 1921,
according to a report just issued by the
Department of Agriculture. The season
this year opened about two weeks earlier
than usual. Shipments arriving thus far
include orchids, bulbs, herbaceous peren-
nials and shrubs. C. L. L.

"Paul's Practical Plant Points" is the
title of a neat little brochure just received
from Paul C. Lindley, president of the
Van Lindley Company, florists, of Greens-
boro, and also president of the J. Van
Lindley Nursery Co. of Pomona, N. C.

While Mr. Lindley has not copyrighted
this brochure, we do not feel that we are
entitled to copy it, although practically
every item therein makes first class read-
ing, particularly for the nurseryman. The
best thing for each man interested is to
write Mr. Lindley at Greensboro for a
copy of the booklet. It is worth it. As
Mr. Lindley puts it, "It is just a lot of
plain, pithy paragraphs, plentifully punc-
tured with points pertaining to plants."

An announcement of the opening of a
new branch flower shop by the Van Lind-
ley Co., at 121 No. Main st., High Point,
N. C, is also received. Supplies for the
High Point Flower Shop are furnished
daily from the greenhouses at Greensboro.

Home Grown Manetti

Frank Schevenka, Rose grower, Sum-
ner, AVash., states he is shipping 40,000
local grown Manetti stock as a sample or-
der to Connecticut Rose firms. He is
planting 500,000 on contract this season.
Frank has used home grown stocks very
successfully for several years past and is
convinced he can produce quality equal to
those produced anywhere else. He has a
very suitable location and soil. His ex-
perience, which is not wholly confined to
the use of his stock locally, seems to dis-
pose of the argument of a large eastern
grower, made last year, that satisfac-
tory forcing stock cannot be produced in
this country.

Personally, I belieive that if given the
opportunity, we can produce the best Rose
stocks in the U. S. A. in unlimited quan-
tity, right here in Western Washington.
Local amateurs are already producing
Roses unbeatable in quality, and many of
them are budding their own. What rea-
son, then that commercial growing, both
of stocks and budded plants, cannot be
equally successful here? I have plants of
several new varieties budded late last
Fall and which remained dormant all
Winter, which equal in growth and gen-
eral vigor anything I imported as two
year old stock.

English Holly

Lack of berries on local English Holly
is very pronounced this year, although
the trees bloomed freely. Can this be due
to the dry, hot weather we had at the
period of blooming? My experience is
that this tree delights in a cool, moist
climate. We have several Holly grow-
ers in this vicinity handling from 10 to

15 acres each as a commercial crop. It
grows very freely with us and can be
transplanted with impunity, at nearly any
stage of growth and at any age. Last week;
we transplanted a pair of specimen trees
12ft. tall and 8ft. through at the base,
"which had not been moved for seven years;
but ultimate results are not causing us
any loss of sleep.

Local trade is very brisk, with a de-
mand for ornamentals leading, but trade
in fruit trees is increasing. Fairly heavy
plantings of sour Cherries, especially the
Montmorency, are being made. This
fruit grows to perfection here, coming into
bearing early, and is in demand for can-
ning. Loganberries are also being plant-
ed freely, especially in vicinity of Sequim
and Port Townsend. Geo. Cooper.

Conference Discusses Important
Pests

At a conference of some 30 representa-
tives of the Departments of Agriculture,
Conservation, Forestry and Entomology
of Xew York, New Jersey, the New Eng-
land States, the United States and Can-
.ada, the European Corn borer and gipsy
moth problems were given special consid-
eration, and two sets of resolutions were
adopted regarding them.

According to the first of these, it was
the sense of the conference that it approve
the efforts being made to control the Corn
borer and express deep concern at the
increased seriousness of certain infesta-
tions; that it emphasize the need of prac-
tical methods of handling weed infesta-
tions in suburban and market garden
areas; and that it believes every reason-
able effort should be made to restrict the
spread of the insect.

With regard to the gipsy moth, the
resolutions urged that, whereas it has
been demonstrated that in local infesta-
tions complete eradication may be pos-
sible and that over wide areas general
control measures can reduce damage and
injury, sufficient appropriations should be
made by Federal and State governments
to continue and strengthen present con-
trol methods, to eradicate New Jersey in-
festations, to locate and destroy border
infestations and to create a control zone
(probably north from Long Island Sound
through New York or New England) for
the purpose of definitely preventing the
westward spread of the pest.

The Spread of "Plan to Plant
Another Tree"

By J. A. Young, Before the Northern
Illinois Horticultural Society

On every side we can see indications
of the strength and power of this nation.
But there is one industry to which I would
call your attention which I believe to be
the greatest industry in America. Horti-
culture is less advertised, less talked
about and less known than any other, but
it is my belief that in its combined inter-
ests it has more capital and more workers,
and does annually a greater business than
any other one endeavor in America.

When I speak of horticulture, I do not
separate the commercial from the ama-
teur. Amateur horticulture is made up of
the great body of American planters, the
farm owners, and the property owners in
our cities. Someone has tried to make us
believe than an amateur is a plant nob-
biest. This is not true. Every man who
plants a tree, a shrub or a flower -is an
amateur if not a professional grower. He
may be a plant nobbiest.

The Scope of Horticulture

Commercial horticulture, as I see it,
consists of 25,000 florists, 8000 seedsmen,
4000 nurserymen, 2500 landscape garden-
ers, 10,000 tree dealers.

The combined wealth of these firms is,
I believe, greater than the invested capi-
tal of any other commercial industry.
And this does not take into consideration
the thousands of orchardists, whose in-
vested capital in land, trees and equip-
ment exceeds that of the commercial or-
ganizations listed above.

The help employed in all these indus-
tries, including that of commercial fruit
growers, will, I believe, far exceed that
employed by all the railroads combined,
the steel trust, the Standard Oil Co. or
any other industry, unless it may be the
manufacture of automobiles and trucks.

"Plan to Plant Another Tree" is a
movement organized to create an interest
in the planting of more trees and in their
care after planting; and to encourage
public spirited citizens, civic clubs, farm

bureaus, farmers' clubs, in making each
community a better place in which to live.
Commercial horticulture cannot do this
alone. It requires the combined efforts
of all horticulture, which includes all
planters, to create in America a tree plant-
ing habit. America is less active and
less interested in this great combined
industry than in almost any other of her
activities. Who is to blame for this?
The nurserymen, florists, seedsmen, land-
scape gardeners and tree dealers all have
failed in a measure through lack of or-
ganization and cooperation.

The Need of Publicity

In order to create a tree planting habit,
it is essential that horticulture be ad-
vertised. The potential advertising
strength of the industries listed above is,
we believe, between two and three million
dollars per annum. Less than one-fourth
of this, even $100,000 to $150,000, if prop-
erly used in national magazines and the
daily papers, will awaken a new interest
in tree planting in all parts of America.

Such advertising, however, will not pro-
duce the best results without the coopera-
tion and support of chambers of commerce,
civic clubs (including women's clubs),
farm bureaus and farmers' clubs. These
organizations all are working to make
their communities better places in which
to live. This sort of an activity appeals
to them — it is just what they want to do.
Hundreds of such clubs are already work-
ing with the "Plan to Plant Another Tree"
campaign.

Why Education Is Needed

To settle any question about the need
for such an organization, one has only to
consult competent authority. "Plan to
Plant Another Tree" teaches how to take
care of trees, shrubs and flowers after
they are planted. Thousands of dollars
are wasted annually on trees and other
plant materials because of a lack of such
knowledge. Prof. L. H. Bailey says that
but three per cent of the fruit trees planted
in America ever come to a bearing age.
Statistics recently gathered from the
State of Missouri indicated that in the
last decade 64 per cent of the Apple Trees
of that State have been lost. This is true
in most of the States in the Union, al-
though perhaps to not so large an extent.
The United States Government census
says that 53,000 acres of small fruits have
disappeared in the last ten years, prin-
cipally Strawberries. Forestry experts
tell us that unless more forest trees are
planted, within 25 years, America will feel
the pinch of much higher prices and cur-
tailment of the use of lumber. These are
serious truths.

What does this mean? It means that
commercial horticultural societies are
failing to do their duty. They are draw-
ing a certain amount of the taxpayers'

money annually to help sustain their or-
ganization. But what are they doing to
increase plantings and to teach the people
of this State how to care for the materials
they plant? It is a crime against horti-
culture that this should continue, and I
challenge them to put themselves on
record during the coming year to arouse
the sleeping giant of horticulture and
unite with every organized effort to make
America not only the garden of the world,
but the greatest fruit producing nation on
earth.

The Larger Results

Do not forget that when folks begin
to plant fruit trees and to think about
the beauty produced with shrubs and flow-
ers, they will naturally be more interested
in the work which you commercial men
are doing, and it will be all the easier
to cause them to consume more of your
products. You can see then how "Plan
to Plant Another Tree" is helping your
cause-.

"Plan to Plant Another Tree" has had
a phenomenal growth. It began in a
small way and was organized to teach the
people of the State of Illinois how to take
care of their trees after planting. It has
now spread to practically every State.
It is financed by memberships of from
$3 per year to as much as one feels he
can afford. We recently put on a Tree
Planting Week, which was a marked suc-
cess in many States. At the present time
some of the Southern States are working
under "Plan to Plant Another Tree" to
put on a Tree Planting Week in Decem-
ber, and southern California will -carry
out the same program in January. All
over the country there is great interest
in this movement. Horticulture realizes,
and State officials, clubs, municipalities
and citizens generally know, that this sort
of an endeavor will create a tree planting
habit among the people of our nation, and
enable the future American horticulture
to compete successfully with that of all
the nations of the world.

Royal Flower Show

The Royal Flower Show, extending
from Nov. 22 to 29, was a huge success.
There were 108 entries and several addi-
tional non-competitive exhibits.

One of the features of the show was
the new pink Rose, seedling No. 6 of
John H. Dunlop & Son, Richmond Hill.
At the opening of the Royal Winter Fair
on Nov. 22 a bouquet of these Roses was
presented to Mrs. W. A. Dryden, the wife
of the president who promptly named it
the "Royal." This "variety" is a pink
similar to the Frank W. Dunlop. It is
a seedling of Sawyer and Dunlop. It is
has a freer growth and larger bloom than
the Dunlop and shows no tendency to
mildew. On Monday, bouquets of this
Rose were sent to Mrs. Timothy Eaton
and Lady Eaton.

Harold Mills of Richmond Hill had
a new pink, semi-double, which stood up
very well. * * * Another new pink Rose
America" was shown by E. G. Hill Co.
of Richmond. Ind. * * * The displays
were excellent. T. Manton's orchid
group and W. J. Hoath's group of Single
'Mums were especially fine, as were
also the extensive Rose displays by John
H. Dunlop & Son, Richmond Hill, and
Dale Estate, Brampton. * * * The as-
sistance of the Toronto Parks Depart-
ment in decorating the building was
much appreciated. * * * The committee
arranging the show consisted of P. L.
Whytock (chairman), F. D. Clark, W. J.
Evans, G. M. Geraghty, P. W. Hodgetts.
H. W. James, Thomas Manton and S. A.
McFadden. The hall was laid out by
Messrs. Whytock, McFadden and Hodg-
etts. Mr. Whytock superintended the
show during the whole period and earned
the appreciation of all the growers.

In the center of the flower show was
an aquarium which received much at-
tention. * * * The booth of the Toronto
Retad Florists Club was a rest room
with wicker furniture, tables, etc., where
flowers and plants were on sale. Vases
of flowers, table decorations, etc., were
also shown and one section was ar-
ranged to promote the F. T. D. Here a
telegraph instrument was installed and
orders were sent over the wire direct
from the booth. Many took advantage
of this to send flowers to friends at dis-
tant points.

Next year the prize list will be en-
larged to permit American growers to
enter flow-ers for competition. Several
have signified their intention of doing so.

Seed Trade Notes — Sales and Import Taxes — Duties on Cut
Flowers in U. S. —Corn Borer Quarantine

Seed Trade Notes

Reports received from the seed houses are in an optimistic vein. The bulb
season is practically over, and though here and there a little stock is left over,
the general opinion is that bulbs rarely sold so freely as this year. Stock was
good, this making for a better market. Weather conditions have also been so
favorable that late planting is going on, there being still a demand for bulbs for
this purpose. Liliums are now arriving freely in good condition. Some new
seeds are also showing up, both vegetable and flower seeds coming in and looking
good. The seedsmen have recently formed an association that their common
interests may be better cared for and that they may be in a position to protect
themselves from unscrupulous outside dealers.. The Department of Agriculture
Seed Branch is doing good work in keeping seeds up to standard, and the seed
merchants are hoping to work in the fullest cooperation with the Department.
Seedsmen generally are now busy with their catalog issue for 1923. Some are
expected through the mails very shortly. It may be that a slightly smaller quan-
tity of bulbs will be forced this year than usual, which will probably be some
thing to the good. A market overstocked with bulb bloom is not appreciated
and invariably spells loss to someone, usually the smaller grower. Quite a lot
of education is being done to induce the public to grow bulbs more freely. The
house of Dale's has distributed large numbers of circulars giving plain instruc-
tions for growing bulbs in bowls. Incidentally and rightly the firm has adver-
tised the bowls, but there can be no doubt about the wisdom and value of this
kind of this education and it deserves real commendation.

Sales and Import Taxes

The stern necessity for finding revenue has caused the Canadian govern-
ment to place a sales tax on a large number of manufactures and productions.
Such a complicated system could not be readily established without some incon-
venience, but the horticultural profession is rather perturbed at the unsatisfac-
tory application of the tax to our commodities. For over a year the Canadian
Florists and Gardeners Association, through its Tariff Committee, has tried to
secure a clear interpretation. Quite recently a strong deputation interviewed
the Tax Commissioner at the Capital as part of the same effort. The Depart-
ment is still considering and, in the meantime, collectors and many importers
are drawing their own conclusions and sailing along regardless of consequences.
It is hoped, however, that something definite may shortly be given out.

How Tax Affects Imports

The tax applies on imports to the extent of being a real burden to the buyer,
various rates up to six per cent being placed on florist stock and supplies. For
instance, ferns entering Canada are subject to a tariff of 25 per cent. The sales
tax of 6 per cent applies on the invoice value with tariff added which means that
duty and tax on $100 worth of ferns is $32.50. Express charges on the top of
this makes the stock expensive. Applied to Bailey's new Encyclopedia, on which
the tariff is 10 per cent, it means that duty and sales tax on $40, the price of the
work, is $6.64, a real addition to the ordinary tariff rate.

Nursery Stock Exempt

All nursery stock imported is exempt from sales tax, but the effort to decide
what is nursery stock is causing some little difficulty. Both collectors and im-
porters are having a great time, although it is quite probable that the matter will
adjust itself shortly. It will be well if United States shippers give the question
some thought, especially when it comes to invoicing. Hardy stock should be
carefully defined, so that the consignee is not overcharged. Under present con-
ditions it is easily possible for perennial Iris (which is classed as nursery stock
and exempt) to be taxed as Iris bulbs (all bulbs bearing tax) unless invoices
are plainly made out. Other instances will readily occur to those familiar with
shipping.

United States Duty on Cut Flowers

In one direction the United States Government has certainly put one over
on the florists by raising the duty on cut flowers to 40 per cent. True, it is, that
the quantity of cut flowers imported from Canada is not very large, but the high
rate of duty now exacted seems rather out of proportion. It is just possible that
some effort may be made on this side of the border to get things balanced up.
seeing that the duty into Canada is but 17% per cent. One of the largest grow-
ers of the Dominion recently wrote : "I think that strong representation ought
to be made by the florists of Canada to make things even. We do not care if the
whole tariff is off flowers coming in if the same condition applies to flowers
going over to the United States." This appears fo be the spirit of the growers
here. Perhaps it is not too much to hope that some effort be made by the great
S. A. F. organization through its Tariff Committee on behalf of Canada.

Stock Prohibited Entry Into United States

The ravages of the Corn borer is still giving our entomologists some trouble,
for which reason quite a number of plants and flowers are not allowed to be
moved. At present, Chrysanthemums, either cut flowers or entire plants, are
prohibited from export, as are also Gladioli, Dahlias and some other Summer
flowers. This does not place any real hardship on any Canadian florists, all of
whom are anxious to help get rid of such a pest as Corn borer. At the same time
it does give cause for wonder why the bars should be up one way and wide open
in the other direction. There appears to be a great field for reciprocal treatment
if only it becomes possible for the trade on both sides of the line to thoroughly
cooperate.

The Florists Exchange

1549

Montreal, Que.

The Montreal florists, at any rate, are
optimistic and not easily discouraged if
the weather has been mild and unseason-
able; they hope for better conditions.
Just now the mercury moves -up and down
like the stock exchange. Mild weather at
this season of the year is not conducive
to good business.

During the past week the premier event
was the St. Andrew's ball. Around 700
guests assembled at the Windsor Hotel
to celebrate. If half of these were ladies
and each wore a corsage bouquet, then it
was the florists who should benefit. Now
these daughters of Bonnie Scotland did
not all wear the Heather, but corsage
bouquets of orchids and other suitable
flowers.

Then Cupid has been very busy before
the Advent season, when he must desist
from his labors for a short time. The
weddings this Fall have been above the
average, including some society affairs.
The foregoing will prove conclusively that
a florist is always alert and not easily
daunted.

Campbell's have added to their delivery
equipment a very fine car. I believe it
is a McLaughlin in appearance, and is all
that can be desired for a first-class floral
emporium.

McKenna's, Ltd., are always adding to
and beautifying their stores; this time it
is the Outremont branch which has been
much improved and is now a very attrac-
tive feature as a florist shop in our north-
ern section of the city.

Mr. Blackshaw of Indiana has been in
the city during the past week.

E. H. Skinner of the Montreal Floral
Exchange has been West, but has now
returned, with an appreciative amount of
business. Mount Royal.

New York and New Jersey Plant
Growers Association

High Jinks in New Jersey

The members of this association are a
lot of swashbucklers. They appear for
enjoyment. Not content with taking it
easy on Thanksgiving Day, they planned
to tour New Jersey the following day.
Moreover, having nothing to do them-
selves, they imagine that even a scribe
can afford to absent himself from his
office two days in succession. And so it
came about that just before 10 a.m. on
December 1, my 'phone rang and over
the wire I heard the voice of that North
Bergen pirate, J. H. Fiesser, demand-
ing to know why the blazes I wasn't in
evidence on the Hudson Boulevard instead
of idling my time in New York, and he
further intimated that if I wasn't at
Summit ave. inside 15 minutes, the entire
gang would storm the office and dynamite
the whole show. Under the circumstances,
the chief said he wasn't going to have his
quietude disturbed by a crowd of hooli-
gans, so I had better cut loose and keep
up my reputation for work shyness.

The Round Begins

And so it came to pass that 35 min-
utes later, I was promenading outside
Summit ave., where I waited ten minutes,
thereby arousing the suspicion of the po-
liceman on duty. Happily, the arrival of
J. Fiesser, accompanied by that arch
conspirator, Henry Schmidt, saved me
from molestation, and boarding their car,
we sailed away to Geo. Schubert's range
at North Bergen where ferns and still
more ferns are a leading feature.

This establishment is situated on the
edge of the high cliffs that overlook the
Hackensack mosquito breeding grounds.
Personally, I wasn't aware of the fact
that at the bottom of the driveway, was
a drop of a 100ft. or so, and I therefore
wondered at Henry Schmidt's excitement
and attempt to leap out of the car when
John Fiesser with a laugh, rushed
through the gateway and down the slope.
Maybe he was trying to put the wind up
me, too, .but I've slept too close to a
magazine when bombs were seeking it,
to be fazed by things I'm not aware of.

At H. Bauman & Sons a good variety
of Christmas plants was found including
Poinsettias and at Entamann's Poinset-
tias were a special feature. Unhappily,
Mrs. Entamann was in a poor state of
health having had a stroke about two
weeks ago.

Combination Baskets

Leaving the precincts of Jersey City,
we hied away to the Exotic Nurseries

at Secaucus where, in addition to the
usual mass of palms, from babies up
to 20ft. tall, we found wonderful lots of
Erica melanthera, Cherries and Peppers.
The latter were an eyeopener to many;
strong and hefty and literally burdened
with fruit. But the finest feature of all
were the Crotons and the magnificent
combinations of Crotons, ferns, Dracaenas
and Ericas in tin pans and boxes ready
for insertion in fancy baskets. Nearly
an entire house was devoted to these
combinations, all of them made up to
order.

Close by, we found Emile Savoy harbor-
ing a grand lot of Peppers, Boston Ferns
and palms, to say nothing of the fam-
ous Bougainvilleas which always are a
feature at this place at Easter time.

Pretzels and —

Next we harked back to North Bergen
to see the stock of Henry Schmidt, who
is famed for Primulas. These were be-
ginning to show up in grand shape, but in
addition, we found two houses of very
good Peppers, a number of Chatelaine and
Luminosa Begonias and a wonderfully fine
new bulb cellar stocked up with' potted
Tulips, etc., just starting growth. Out-
doors, too, was a large area which, by the
labels, indicated more bulbs. One block
bore a huge sign, Easter; H. S. doesn't
permit any accidental use of bulbs before
time. I might add that another new in-

trade; that's not so easy as many a grower
has found out. Christmas is the best time
for selling Cyclamen, but it is no use hav-
ing plants as big as a barrel if the blooms
are lacking.

Mrs. Petersen Begonias

The Hackensack firm can also grow Be-
gonias and the samples of Mrs. Peterson
made the eyes of many pop open. I be-
lieve the raiser of this beautiful variety
has admitted that he never saw it in
such form as at Hackensack this season.
Cincinnati and Melior are also well grown
but it is the L. it W. view that the old-
er variety makes the best show. Peppers,
too, were in good form.

At Madsen & Christensen's, Woodridge,
we found them housing about the^biggest
and best lot of Poinsettias to be found
around New York. Not merely hundreds
but thousands and in pots from l1/^ in. up
to big pans, and all bearing bracts, well
on the finishing lap, and splendid foliage.
The most forward houses were a sea of
scarlet and although three types are
grown, including the original pulcherri-
ma, all were in good shape. One of the
big houses has its center bench filled with
stock plants, each carrying a magnificent
bract on a stem about 4ft. tall. These
are for cutting.

Plenty of Coal

Apart from Poinsettias, several big
blocks of heavily fruited Cherries, red

sign of affluence — -fur collars — -worn by Roman J. Irwin and Fred Muntz

stitution here noted, was a large planting
of Currants. What for? you ask. Now as
if you didn't know. Oh, yes! take it
from me, H. S. knows a few things be-
sides growing Primulas; we sampled his
knowledge, too, along with pretzels, and
the connoisseurs said it was good, but I'm
no judge.

A New Kind of Bugle

J. H. Fiesser's place was next visited
and truly he had a fine lot of Poinsettias,
some in Uin. pans costing $1.35 apiece
first hand. Cherries in abundance and of
fine quality, lots of ferns; one or two
houses of Begonias in excellent shape;
lots of Primulas and a really excellent
lot of Cyclamen. The Fiesser outfit cov-
ers a good many thousands of feet and
he would be some retailer who could take
the output which the smiling North Ber-
genite turns out. J. F. has not built any
new greenhouses this season, but he has
just completed a glass roof shed of huge
dimensions, wherein the Rambler Roses
for Easter are stored.

Incidentally several stragglers, includ-
ing A. Dauernheim and Julius Roehrs
caught us up at this place and we gave
them a royal welcome as well as — well,
anyway it doesn't matter. How"ever,
Henry Schmidt sounded the "fall in" on
an empty bottle — R. J. Irwin tried but
lacked the wind — and away we went to
Hackensack, to see the Lehnig & Winne-
feld Cyclamen. Take it from me, these
Cyclamen will take some matching, and al-
though there's several houses of^ them
there won't be many left by Christmas
for L. & W. make a point of getting their
plants into full flower for the Christmas

and yellow, were on hand, while in other
houses, we saw scores of thousands _ of
Marguerites in all sizes, a M. & C. special-
ty these, besides more houses of Genistas.
Everybody was interested in the huge
300ft.x60ft. Hitchins & Co. house going
up. Actually, this house, formerly stand-
ing on Long Island, is being made into
two; the first half is almost completed
and ere long the heat will be on. Ad-
joining these two houses is the monster
coal shed partly full, and new boiler pit.
The coal bunker can hold about ten car-
loads, all under cover. Certainly the
Woodridge firm is doing things for only
a year ago they erected a large house.

At Rutherford

Julius Roehrs Co., Rutherford, was the
next call and in the way of Christmas
plants, we found houses of Ericas; the
finest house of Dracaena terminalis one
could wish to see; houses of Crotons;
many well fruited Cherries; a wonder-
ful house of Oranges, which included one
big specimen navel, carrying five ripe
fruit. We offered Mr. Roehrs 5c. apiece
for the fruit, but he wasn't taking any.
A house of Poinsettias was noted, the
batch of the pink form taking our fancy.
Several houses of Cyclamen also came un-
der review, but these, while superb in
size, were scarcely forward enough with
bloom to catch the Christmas market.

It was getting dusk when we invaded
the premises of Bobbink & Atkins oppo-
site, but we saw several houses of Azaleas
that will be right for Christmas, while
the famous house of Araucarias was too
good to miss. We also noted lots of
Cherries and Poinsettias, and literally
thousands of Ericas in grand shape.

Where the Lights Sparkled

Bidding B. & A. adieu, we hiked away
over the Hudson Boulevard once again,
the third time that day, finally pulling up
at Louis Hansen's. The "committee,"
that is Henry Schmidt, said this stop was
necessary as we were too early for sup-
per. Furthermore, the Hansen's were ex-
pecting us and Harry of the ilk, was with
us to see we did stop. The gay Louis re-
mains as youthful as ever and he had
all the lights on in the big, new garage
and storage shed. He even had lights in
the greenhouses so that we could see the
myriads of dandy little table ferns and
madeup dishes. Furthermore more cigars
were handed around and everyone was in-
vited to help himself to tb|e Grapes,
ahem! Where did these New Jersey fel-
lows learn the art? Verily, they must all
have studied in France, Germany or
Italy.

However, it put an edge to our appe-
tites, but "Spike" Schultheis swears it
made the scribe see things, and all be-
cause in his innocence of the locality, the
scribe imagined the Hudson was on his
right when we were bowling along to the
supper hall, and mistook a trolley car in
the distance for a ferry boat with full
lights on.

A Mystery Dish

In due course we arrived at a well
known restaurant on the edge of the cliffs;
the Fiesser fellow, desirous of showing
me the Hudson and the lights of New
York, led me forward, to the horror of
the hotelkeeper, who apparently thought
we were so disgusted with the world that
we intended to take a 200ft. dive. What
a foolish idea, especially as the "commit-
tee" had promised us a turkey supper.
But it wasn't turkey. Having the "chef"
instinct, I sought to ascertain what it
was; it looked like the back of a rabbit,
but it was too big. My neighbors said
it was sour beef; Henry Schmidt gave it
a name in some unknown lingo, but I
decided it was jugged hare, with red
cabbage jam and potato puddings. The
taste, oh Turkish delights! I wanted a
second helping, but the gluttons on the
other side of the table got in first.

I still think of that mysterious dish
and am puzzled by an insane idea to
bark. Ye gods; can it be that that res-
taurant has a Chinese cook who had paid
a visit to the Bergen County dog catcher?
But I'm not worrying; I've eaten army
biscuit which didn't taste half so good and
survived. I even at lunchtime the same
day, ate my first liver wurst and blood
wurst with sauerkraut and mashed pota-
toes, yet, despite these mysteries, I am
still alive.

New Jersey Not Slow

Aye my masters, New Jersey may be a
"hick" of a place, but take it from me,
the Long Islanders just live for those two
days each year spent in New Jersey.
Ask Walter Scott of Flatbush; he waa
so full of the "hot dog mystery" and good
cigars, that he danced the Highland fling
when the feasting was over. Yes sirs!
we had a negro quartette to play and
sing; we even sang ourselves. John Fies-
ser gave us the pathetic ballad about Mon-
day being Wash Day and "Spike's" young-
er brother — I never asked his name —
serenaded us with two songs. How many
the darkies sang I cannot recall; one that
we could all enter into, related to Old
McDowell Who Kept a Farm, which re-
minded me of the old ditty, "And the
Green Grass Grew Around My Boys.

The Light Fantastic Toe

About 9 p.m. the band introduced dance
music for the benefit of the many flap-
pers and their swains who were showing
up in considerable numbers. Roman J.
Irwin and John Fiesser, not desiring to
be mere wallflowers, got lots of fun danc-
ing together. Where there is music these
two have to get going. A. L. Miller is
a pretty good hand at the game, too, but
on this occasion business compelled him
to forego the evening wind up; he and
Julius Roehrs left us early.

Yes, we did wind up shortly after 10
p.m., the Long Islanders bidding us adieu
and making a rush for the ferry._ The
rest of us who do not hang out in the
Jersey City area just boarded the nearest
trolley car and made our way homeward.
As for the North Bergenites, who helped
to make up the party of 30, ask me not of
them; I can only hope they, as dutiful
fathers, followed our example. W.

Dec. 1, the clay on which, it was unofficially hinted
and understood, some announcement would be made
by the Department of Agriculture as to the action to
be taken on the Oct. 30 bulb conference, has come
and gone — and the lack of information is just as
vast and the indefiniteness of the future is just as
indefinite as ever.

Few horticulturists, probably, are especially in-
terested in Prof. Einstein and his relativity theory.
More will note with interest that he has recently
expressed his approval of and belief in a new proc-
ess of obtaining hydrogen cheaply. As this gas
when burnt produces a hotter flame than any other,
the invention may prove an important contribution to
the solution of the increasingly serious problem of
coal substitutes and the fuel of the future.

If the $19,000,000 addition to the annual budget of
the Department of Agriculture is any criterion, the
year beginning July 1, 1923, should see marked and
valuable advances in the field of agricultural and hor-
ticultural research. Scanning the estimated require-
ments, one naturally regrets to find no special refer-
ence to the study of problems of the greenhouse opera-
tor and of the ornamental grower generally (save the
broad question of supplying materials formerly im-
ported). But, after all, many of these problems are
local and can perhaps be taken up to better advan-
tage by the State stations and colleges. The trade
should use its influence to see that they are so han-
dled and that sufficient funds be provided for the
work.

The annual report of Secretary Wallace gives no
indication of any modifications of Quarantine 37.
Neither does it provide any new information beyond
making it clear that the Japanese beetle pest is still
on the rampage, that the Corn borer still refuses to
be ousted from all the centers where it has held a
foothold and that the extermination of wild Ber-
beris goes on.

Some 5,500,000 Berberis plants have already been
destroyed and as many more must be removed ; in
fact, the task has become more difficult than antici-
pated. Like the poor wanderer in the quicksands
the more the department has delved into the Berberis
question, the deeper it has sunk. Maybe by the time
all the bugs and other pests have been exterminated
with chemicals, the land will refuse to grow any-
thing.

Once again the administrative branch of the Fed-
eral Government has registered its disapproval of
Congressional free seed distribution by ignoring it in
its 1923-4 budget. And, in the normal order of things,
once more we suppose, the legislative branch will dis-
regard this expert testimony and the oft expressed
wishes of its more intelligent constituency and pro-
vide for the expenditure of some $300,000 in this
wasteful, unwarranted, indefensible method of curry-
ing favor with a constituency.

Oh, for the time when the normal order — in this
connection at least — shall not obtain; when this par-
ticular third of a million dollars and others like it
shall be used according to the wishes of the people
for their benefit rather than for the personal ad-
vancement of a few, self-centered, so-called represen-
tatives— statesmen in name, but politicians, in fact,
in the sense that lends to that word a minimum of
dignity and honor !

The Work of Bacteria

Bernard Field's article on nitrifying and de-nitrify-
ing bacteria, appearing in this issue, will assuredly
interest the grower who thinks, although the state-
ments of Mr. Field may disturb the equanimity of
many scientific minds.

We are not scientists, but we are as willing to
accept the theories of one scientist against another if
they appear practical. Some of the claims made in the
past by would-be plant magicians have proved mere
piffle.

Mr. Field's theories and experiments tend to prove
that we are all wrong with our fertility proposition ;
lots of others have likewise declared we waste much,
and have proved it by analysis; but they have not
explained the why and wherefore of these things,
Mr. Field lets the practical mind see something be-
side figures and analyses.

The Trade's Santa Claus

"Uncle Robert" is filling a wonderful niche in giv-
ing joy to poor and crippled children. The trade gen-
erally will be glad to know that it has such a philan-
thropist in its ranks. The newspapers of New York
give up freely of their columns for "Uncle Robert''
and his activities — which is as it should be; for is it
possible in any other way to impart so much joy as
when ministering to helpless children? Their joy is
so genuine and complete — it has no backfire.

"Uncle Robert" on Tuesday night of this week gave
a party to 200 little pupils of the Crippled Children
East Side (N, Y.I Free School. He had a wonderful
time ; so did the children.

"Uncle Robert" tells us that his next party is to be
held at Long Branch. The first party was given there
seven years ago, when 15 children were present. This
year he expects 2000. Each month he makes a pur-
chase of presents, so by this time he has them all
collected and ready. As he puts it: "By buying each
month there is nothing to pay for by the end of the
year." For this coming party he has 2000 of this
and 1000 of that and 500 of another, and so on
through the list of a great number of articles which
make for children's joy. He asks for no donations ;
but he does ask other prospective "uncles" to come
to his pai'ties and learn of the joy they give to the
children and the host, and hopes they will then go
forth and follow his example.

We regret that we cannot make public the name of
this benefactor, but we may all rejoice that he is one
of the great family belonging to the horticultural
world. The World. Herald, Times and perhaps other
papers of New York City, on Wednesday morning,
Dec. 6, gave good accounts of the party the night pre-
vious.

A Tribute to Representative Mann

It may have been because Representative Mann,
who has just been called by death, was born on a
farm that he was such a great lover of plants. Those
who have known him intimately in Washington for
the past 25 years found him always ready to work
for any plan or project looking to the advancement
of horticulture in this country.

He was particularly interested in trees, and spent
as much of his time as could be spared from his mul-
titudinous duties at the Capitol in collecting tree seeds
in the various parks of Washington and in the sur-
rounding country. It was not an uncommon sight in
the Fall of the year to see Mr. Mann with his pock-
ets bulging with acorns and other seeds he had gath-
ered. These seeds were sent to many of his friends,
and quantities of seedlings were grown hy him for
widesprea d distribution.

For years Mr. Mann maintained a little private
nursery near Chicago, where many thousands of
plants were propagated by him and distributed to
those who loved such things. Mr. Mann was par-
ticularly fond of Roses and had a large collection of
such plants. His great pride, however, was in his
Peony collection. For years he searched the world
for new and rare specimens of those plants and his
collection is one of the largest and best in the United
States. Mr. Mann went quietly about his horticultur-
al work, but when the records are made known, it
will be found that during his long and useful life as
a public servant and private citizen he has left a
heritage in this field that will not soon be forgotten.

Opportunity for Hybridists

Two weeks ago we published an account of a won-
derful Strawberry which had been sold for $50,000.
We are not in a position to pass on the truth or un-
truth of that statement.

Comes along this week another story, circumstan-
tially written, from Fen-ell, N. J., telling of a wire
cage being constructed around a $5000 Apple Tree in
the orchard of Lewis Mood, a farmer living there.
As to the Apple itself, not much is said except that
it is red, of exceptional size and sweetness, and that
there is none other like it in this country. It is fur-
ther reported that a representative of a nursery com-
pany learning of this Apple, the result is a bill of sale
to the nursery company with a surveyor's record of
the exact location of the tree filed in the office of the
Gloucester County Clerk at Woodbury, N. J. Accord-
ing to this agreement, Mr. Mood has received $1000 in
cash, and is to further receive $4000 in royalties at
the rate of 2c. for each bud that is taken from the
original tree, or any trees developed from it.

Commenting on the Apple Tree and Strawberry
Plant transactions, a leading newspaper in New York
well says : "It is fortunate that these accidental bits
of good fortune are well advertised. This will en-
courage others to report desirable 'sports' as they
occur. The finer the fruit or the grain the more im-
portant that it be preserved and encouraged to re-
produce."

Our readers will agree with us that the next thing
to be published broadcast should be the advent of a
new flower to be named and exploited a la Thomas
W. Lawson. Meanwhile, we suspect that even today,
one or two of our hybridists are in a position to
broadcast a truthful story as to the amount of money
taken and to come (perhaps not all profit) from re-
cent productions.

Hurry Up, Sun. — Freddy had been given a new watch, and
was very proud of its timekeeping qualities. Just after nine
o'clock one evening, watch in hand, he rushed indoors. "What
time does the sun set today?" he asked his father. "About a
rmart-r past nine," answered the parent. "Well." replied
Freddy, consulting his watch, "if it doesn't buck up it will
be late." — The American Boy.

The $1000 Gladiolus

As already recorded, A. E. Kunderd, Goshen, Ind.,
is offering in a limited way, conns of a new type of
Gladioli at $1000 apiece. The object of making this
new variety available before general distribution at
regular prices in 1925, is to give breeders an oppor-
tunity of experimenting. To the ordinary layman,
$1000 for a root so easily propagated as a Gladiolus,
may seem a preposterous price and for ordinary gar-
den decoration, it would be absurd for anyone to
pay such a figure.

New hybrid orchids or Daffodils, which cannot pos-
sibly become plentiful for many years, must neces-
sarily be expensive, but what is of more importance
to the introducers of such, there is no possibility of
any purchaser rapidly developing a big stock or rais-
ing improvements from them within a short period,
and thereby prevent the original raiser from obtain-
ing his just reward.

But with totally new types of Gladioli, Dahlias,
Cannas, Roses, etc., etc., all of which are more or
less easily and rapidly multiplied, according to the
facilities at hand, a raiser must either plan to get his
return the first year by raising a big stock which
will permit everyone buying at a standard figure or
he must demand an abnormally high price for the
few specimens he has to offer.

A. E. Kunderd has chosen the latter method of
introducing his new Laciniatus, which is claimed to
be the first of a laciniated type. As is well known
where large quantities of flowers are raised, varia-
tions, known as sports, are apt to appear, but it has
remained for A. E. Kunderd to catch a tendency to
lacination in Gladioli and work on it. We believe,
too, he has had African- wildings sent him which
showed this tendency and by crossing and selection he
has reached a stage which warrants the introduction
of the new type.

The success of A. E. Kunderd as a raiser of fine
Gladioli has prompted many commercial growers to
invest in his newest varieties — if they had not done
so the Kunderd Gladioli would not be known outside
his own limited trading — and many have made big
money by developing big stocks of certain sorts.

No raiser of Gladioli or similar flowers can grow
on sufficient stocks to meet a world wide demand ; he
cannot even more than scratch the surface of the
possible trade by his own unaided efforts. He there-
fore, if he desires good returns and world fame can-
not ignore and hold aloof from contemporary grow-
ers, but he must take steps to ensure that he himself
is not doing the donkey work while others reap the
benefits which naturally come to all who can grow
on big stocks of a much desired novelty.

With hundreds of named varieties and thousands
of numbered seedlings under way, a raiser cannot
center his energies on developing huge stocks of any
one, however fine. He has ideals and is looking for
something better. In the meantime others may reap

a harvest. Under the circumstances, the raiser must
get his returns in concentrated form, and there we
judge are the reasons why Lacinatus is being offered
at a figure which seems prohibitive. The new type
may or may not become as famous as the ruffled
forms ; one cannot foresee its possibilities without
first seeing how the public takes to it. Mr. Kunderd,
however, has a wide experience ; he knows Gladioli
and has so far proved that he knows what appeals
to the public.

Timely Hints on Rose Culture

By EBER HOLMES

IF you intend to graft any Roses for your planting
next year, you have probably ordered your Manetti
stocks for this purpose, but if you have not
got all you need, there is still time. However, the
sooner you get what you want the better off you will
be. The stocks will soon arrive and when they reach
you, lose no time examining them. If it is in good
shape, they may be left in the box in a cold shed
where they will keep fresh until you are ready to
handle them. If dry and shriveled, bury in moist
loam in a cold shed or greenhouse, or outdoors in a
frame or other sheltered place where they will not
freeze.

The general grower has plenty of room for a time
after the 'Mums are out of the way to start these
stocks. There is some satisfaction in growing your
own plants although in many cases, you can buy the
finished plants cheaper than you could grow theni
yourself, everything considered.

The sooner you can get some of the stocks potted
the better. You can pot all at one time or divide up
according to how many you have and how fast you
can handle them. Stocks grafted in January perhaps
do best although you can graft from now on to April
with success. I would rather wait a month and
start right and keep the plants growing well from
the start than to be in a hurry to start and then have
the plants suffer from neglect in Midwinter.

Potting Up the Stocks

Get some good Rose soil that is fairly warm and
dry, so as to be in good condition to work with ; mix
a little bone meal with it and use the size of pot that
is most suitable for the plants. A 2%in. pot is gener-
ally used, but many use a deeper pattern called a
Rose pot. If the pot is too large it takes up too much
room in the case and the soil in it under some condi-
tions might be liable to sour. There is no advantage
in using too large a pot ; it is easy enough to repot
later as required.

Trim with a sharp knife any very large roots that
the pot will not hold, and any broken roots. Save all
the fine fibrous roots possible. Pot firmly and set in
a cool house ; one that is partly shady makes an ideal
place. Water well to settle the soil; afterward keep
rather on the dry side at the roots and spray lightly
overhead to keep the tops plump and moist.

It will be several weeks before the stock is ready
to graft as a regular thing, but in some cases the
work can be done much quicker. This part of the
work must depend on your judgment and conditions;
when the buds show signs of swelling and the roots
are forming is a good time to graft.

While the stocks are being potted and made ready
for working it is a good time to get the cases ready.
See that any needed repairs to woodwork or to heat-
ing pipes are done; have everything cleaned out and
the boards whitewashed, so that a good clean start
may be made as soon as the stock is ready.

Planning for Next Year

It is time to think up the planting plan for next
year. You should prepare to grow or order the stock
you need. You will then have just what you want,
when you want it. It would be wise for every grower
to include a few of the new varieties to try them out.
The small retailer can always find use for a few
dozen flowers of a novelty and the wholesale grower
even in a small way, had better find out which of the
new kinds will do best with him, so that the next
year, if his market calls for a particular variety he
can go into it with more confidence than he could
without any personal knowledge of its requirements.

as well as head of the horticultural department there,
a position that he had held for 16 years. By his death
the horticultural interests of the country are deprived
of a staunch supporter, an efficient and tireless in-
vestigator, a respected teacher and an ardent, pro-
gressive enthusiast.

John Greenman

News has reached this side of the ocean that John
Greenman died suddenly, after an operation for ap-
pendicitis, in Riga. John Greenman was 40 years of
age at the time of his death and leaves a family. He
came to this country some years ago and returned
to his home about one year ago. His last position in
this country was with Wollrath & Sons, the well-
known plant growers of Waltham, Mass., where his
thorough knowledge of plant culture and his many
other good qualities are well remembered. He was
well educated, learning his profession on some of the
prominent estates and in some of the important grow-
ing establishments in England and Germany, where he
also was a student at horticultural schools and col-
leges. In his intercourse with fellow workers, he
gained the friendship of all, so that his early, un-
timely demise is greatly deplored. G. Th.

The specialists who grow Roses on a large scale will
plant from 5 to 50.000 of a new Rose and make a
good thing out of it, but it is seldom that it is pos-
sible, nor would it be wise for the small man to take
much of a chance. But grow some by all means and
find out for yourself. A good new Rose or Carnatiou
canuot be overdone the first few years after it is
sent out. It takes time to advertise it and after the
first year, if it is a popular variety, the demand in-
creases and everybody begins to call for it so that,
even if the prices are not as high as they were when
only a few specialists had it, the demand for a few
years will be so great that those who have a good
block and can grow it well are bound to make a good
thing out of it. It may be added that there is an
increasing demand for the old bench plants and by
taking them out early they find a ready sale, helping
to pay for new plants. The sooner young, new stock
is planted in the Spring, the better the results will be.

Francis Hagan

Francis Hagan, aged 85 years, the pioneer florist
of Uniontown, Pa., died at his home there, Nov. 21,:
from infirmities due to old age. Services were held
from St. John's Roman Catholic Church, Uniontown,
the following Thursday. Mr. Hagan is survived by
his widow and several children.

George A. Harrison

George A. Harrison of Berlin, Md., a member of the
nursery firm bearing his name, died Nov. IS, at the
Presbyterian Hospital of this city.

Mr. Harrison, who was 52, was born at Roxana,
Del, and was the son of the late Joseph G. Harrison,
founder of the nurseries. For the last 35 years, he
had been associated with his brother, Senator Orlando
Harrison, in conducting the nurseries.

Joseph B. Dolan

The many who have met this gentleman in the
past, and especially those whose acquaintance he
formed last June in New York at Max Schling's
school, will regret to hear of the death of Joseph B.
Dolan, due to erysipelas, which occurred at his home,
30 Main St., Danbury, Conn., following a short illness.
Mr. Dolan was a native of Danbury. Seven years
ago he entered the florist business with his father,
and was one of the most promising young men in the
trade there. He was in his 37th year. He possessed
a pleasing and happy disposition and was friendly to
all. He is survived by his parents, a brother and a
sister, all of Danbury. M. B. R. S. L. N. Y.

H. A. Beach

There has come to hand a belated clipping from a
Western newspaper noting the death, on Nov. 2, of
Prof. H. A. Beach, who for some years has been one
of the leading figures in the country's horticulture,
especially in its pomological aspects. At the time of
his death, which it is said followed an illness of four
months of heart affection, Prof. Beach was vice-dean

Henry M. Bradley

Henry M. Bradley, aged 76 years, for many years
a prominent resident of Derby, Conn., and one of the
best known florists in this section of the State, passed
away Nov. 22, following an illness of several months.

Mr. Bradley was born in Orange in 1S46. On the
completion of the New Haven Railroad. Aug. 9, 1871,
he and Edward B. Bradley of Ansonia became the
first conductors on the road. In 1876 Mr. Bradley
became a resident of Derby, and became engaged in
the truck gardening and seed growing business with
his father-in-law, D. K. Croffut. Six years later he
erected his first greenhouse, and soon built up the
large floral business that bears his name.

He was a member of the S. A. F. and O. H., and
other trade organizations. He is survived by his
widow, two sons, Henry M. Bradley, Jr., Louis H.
Bradley, and one daughter, Miss Charlotte Bradley,
two grandchildren and two brothers, Lewis M. Brad-
ley of Newton, Mass., and Otis B. Bradlev of Derby.

Ernest C. Kettig

Ernest C. Kettig, 63 years of age, until six years
ago superintendent of parks, a position he held for 27
years, died on Dec. 2 at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. James J. Etheridge, Jr., 312 Shawnee Drive,
Louisville, Ky., where he had made his home since
the death of his wife a year ago.

Mr. Kettig was the first superintendent of parks
and was largely responsible for the development of
the Louisville system. He was closely associated with
the late Gen. John B. Castleman, who served on the
Board of Park Commissioners for many years.

A large part of Shawnee Park was given to the
city by Mr. Kettig's mother, Mrs. Josephine Kettig.
The city bought the remainder of the park, and Mr.
Kettig paid especial attention to its improvement as
a memorial to his mother.

Besides his daughter he is survived by two sons,
Thomas H. and John C. Kettig; another daughter,
Mrs. Holloway George, and a brother, William H.
Kettig of Birmingham. He was an uncle of Dr.
Harry R. Kettig. president of the Louisville Automo-
bile Club.

Philipp Schuster

Newark (N. J.) lost one of its pioneer florists when
Philipp Schuster, widely known during his nearly
half a century of activity in the florieultural line,
died at the age of S6, at the home of his sons, 168
Chadwick ave.

Born in Baden, Germany, Mr. Schuster spent his
boyhood in Creilsheim, Wurtemberg, where his father
was a miller. Having always loved flowers, at the
age of 14 he apprenticed himself for four years to one
of the best and most practical florists in Wurtemberg,
and was here carefully instructed in the lore of
floriculture.

In I860 he came to the United States, settled in
New Jersey where he readily obtained greenhouse
work on several large estates. Eight years later Mr.
Schuster opened his first greenhouses on the prop-
erty that was then known as Chadwick ave. in the
Clinton Hill section, now Bergen st. In 1905, when
he retired, he had 12.000 sq. ft. devoted to the culti-
vation of flowers. Mr. Schuster earned more than
local fame for his Marechal Niel, Jack and other
Roses, as well as for his unusually fine Violets.

He is survived by his five sons, William. Charles.
Adolph, Albert and Edward, seven grandchildren and
three great-grandchildren. Interment was made in
the Cemetery of the Holy Sepulchre.

The Florists Exchange

Timely Hints on Rose Culture

(Continued from page 1551)
Syringing'andjFeeding

Steady firing should now show results in the way
of clean foliage and good flowers. The routine work
should be carefully attended to; it is a good plan to
syringe well on or as near the first of the week as you
can if the weather is suitable. This is then out of
the way and if the weather turns bad, you have not
this to worry about. You can then water on Tuesday
or Wednesday and again on Saturday if your soil
needs it and the plants are growing well. This gives
you the last end of the week to clean up. The heavy
syringing will knock off some old leaves and by doing
this the first of the week you have the house cleaned
up by the week end. When you syringe, be sure to
get under every leaf with force to keep down the red
spider and see that you reach out well between the
faucets and around the corners.

Judicious feeding will give good results. It is not
likely that you will get too much phosphoric acid into
the. soil if you put it on in small quantities. A very
light sprinkling every two weeks is put on by some
growers; when you have fresh animal manures, a
little, acid phosphate makes a good addition if sprin-
kled over the pile. If you have no tank for liquid
manure and no good, fresh manure for top dressing,
a little nitrate of soda will benefit your plants ; this
should be rolled out on a board or pounded to make
it very fine. It may then be mixed with an equal
bulk of dry loam and spread very lightly between the
plants; a small handful between each row will be
enough. This may be watered in as soon as put on.
.A little dried blood similarly applied will help small
or backward plants.

Exercise Every Care

Eight now in the short, dark days, the good grower
will watch his plants carefully and avoid any treat-
ment that would be liable to give them a setback.
Such a condition now is not so easy to overcome as it
might be at any other time. Give air whenever you
can hut keep the houses reasonably warm if you ex-
pect them to make a good growth.

As the Chrysanthemum wanes the Rose comes into
its own again ; the next few months will see a brisk
demand for all the good flowers you can produce. The
more that you put into the plants in the right way,
the more you can take out of them. There is never
anything gained by starving them, especially at this
time of the year ; this is assuming that the plants are
healthy. It is of no use to feed heavily plants that
are yellow and sickly, although it may be in some
cases that when the foliage lacks the right color,
some different kind of fertilizer may benefit the plant ;
you can tell best about this by studying your soil and
the kind of manures that you have been using. The
Roses we grow today are so much more vigorous than
the old time Teas and modem methods and houses
are so far ahead of the old times that a sickly house

of Roses is somewhat of a novelty nowadays.
Keep the Plants Clean

Keep the plants clean ; use tobacco in some form
for green fly. Syringe thoroughly when you do it;
use fire heat judiciously as needed without overdoing
it, but do not be niggardly in its use when needed.
Soft coal is generally plentiful now and at present
prices it compares favorably with other things and
it is yet the great standby of the grower although
oil is coming into use and ravor on many places.

The Rose midge has been doing considerable dam-
age lately in certain sections judging from the number
of inquiries regarding methods for combating and
controlling it. Personally I have had no experience
with it but anyone who is afflicted with if should
secure bulletin No. 77S. (The Rose Midge.) It can, 1
think, be obtained from the Superintendent' of Docu-
ments, Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C,
for five cents. This bulletin should be very valuable
to the trade and I would advise every Rose grower
to get posted on this pest, so as to help reduce pos-
sible losses from this source.

Baldwin Orchids Destroyed by Fire

The well-known orchid growing establishment of
George E. Baldwin & Co. on Rockland ave., Mamaro-
neck, N. X. suffered a regrettable loss by fire on the
morning of Nov. 29. The first intimation of the fire,
according to Mr. Baldwin, occurred at 2.20 o'clock in
the morning when, less than an hour after he had
left the greenhouses, he was awakened by the noise
of fire engines, to discover that a brisk blaze was al-
ready under way in his packing sheds. From this
starting point the fire spread to the adjoining green-
houses, burning out the ends of four structures and
filling several of them, especially the seedling house,
with dense smoke. In the latter building were more
than 100,000 seedlings, including more than 265 new
varieties, the oldest two years old. Of these approxi-
mately 80,000 were destroyed, but fortunately it ap-
pears that a few of each of the varieties represented
were ultimately saved. Fortunately, too, the night
was comparatively mild, so that the damage to the
greenhouses and the injury done by frost and smoke
combined resulted in the loss of but 2000 out of the
27,000 or more large plants in the houses. In response
to an emergency call, the Lord & Burnham Co. sent
a force of workmen early the next morning who, co
operating with Mr. Baldwin's employees, quickly cov-
ered, the damaged ends of the houses with building
paper as a temporary protection. At this writing
less than a week after the fire, reconstruction work
is well under way, and within a short time all injury,
so far as the buildings are concerned, will probably
have been made good.

The trade will certainly sympathize with Mr. Bald-
win in his loss, which he estimates as at least $50,000,
and which owing to the difficulty of securing reason-
able rates, was covered by no insurance whatsoever.

The trade will, however, be glad to learn that Mr.
Baldwin's courage and enthusiasm have suffered no
injury, for he reports that "there is a kick left in the
old man yet," and that he is going ahead with his
plans for the future as vigorously as ever.

The F. T. D. A. and Its Relation
to the Growers

An Address by J. F. Ammamm at the Indiana

State Florist Meeting, Terre Haute,

Ind., Dec. 5.

General View Fifth Annual Flower Show at Denver, Nov. IS to 17, 1922

The exhibition was held in the City Auditorium and proved the greatest flower show that Denver had ever held. The stock was of extra
quality, competition was keen and, as the city authorities made no charge for the use of the Auditorium, no admission fee was charged, this

factor making largely for its success.

WITH this subject for an address about a decade
ago, one would have approached it with fear
and trembling. Not so today, however, for at
this writing there are a legion of reasons that can be
given why the relations between this organization and
the growers should be of the most intimate. The
F. T. D. A.'s benefit to the growers is of far greater
scope than is generally considered.

It does, by reason of its unique system of relay-
ins orders and its wonderful distribution of the grow-
ers product, open an untouched field, a new market,
so to speak, that could not be served in any other
way. We are safe in saying that over 90 per cent
of the business done through the system of Florist
Telegraph Delivery is entirely new business that,
would otherwise be lost, and when we can speak of
this business as amounting to millions of dollars an-
nually in North America alone, we must surely agree
that the relationship is worth while.

It is, therefore, not surprising that even the small
retail grower in the smallest hamlet or town is
anxious to become a member of the organization. He
at once realizes the possibility of increasing his cli-
entele and of getting orders from some far distant city
or State while he in turn can take orders for points
he never would be able to ship to. The same is true
of the retailers in a large city.

Standing of F. T. D. Members

In addition to that service and clientage, both have
a guaranteed customer, far superior to the average
customer in their own home market by reason of
the F. T. D. Clearing House System. And let me em-
phasize that in mentioning this, I am referring to the
membership of the F. T. D. A. as the guaranteed cus-
tomer, not those, outside of the association. I do
not mean to say that there are not many high class
retailers still outside our organization, for I sincerely
believe there are, but, this we do know and have rec-
ords to prove, that out of the 2500 members, we have
less than two dozen that are in the doubtful column
today, while we have a list of nearly 500 names of
letailers outside our organization, who do not meet
their obligations. This fact is given as a warning
against filling orders for non-F, T. D. members that
you have not or can get no rating on.

I have digressed somewhat just to bring out, if
possible, the greater efficiency of our organization as
well as the greater distribution of the growers'
product. The F. T. D. A. has by this system of ef-
ficiency, been a large factor in making the average
retailer a better business man. It has taught him
many business ethics he knew nothing of before. It
has instilled a willingness to advertise flowers by the
retailers locally and was the pioneer in national ad-
vertising, through which many growers are too be-
ginning to see the light of a new day in floricultural
progress.

All this was brought about through the wonderful
cooperation this organization has instilled into the
minds and hearts of its members and all this within
the last decade. In 1912 we had but 57 members and
a total annual income of $207 with expenditures of
$3S7. Our annual volume of business was then about
$10,000. Look where we are today; I need not go
into figures, you all know them. I do not care either,
to dwell at length on the past, save to show our
progress.

Built on Cooperation

But why and how all this phenomenal progress?
That is easily explained. We have had a wonderful
general since 1912, not an army general, just a gen-
eral secretary and we had a few fine lieutenant gener-
als in the form of presidents, in addition to a fine
body of major generals in the form of directors be-
sides a host of something like 60 majors in the ca-
pacity of district representatives.

It would, however, be impossible with all these
high and loyal officials to wage a successful war or
carry on a successful organization without the general
body of privates in the form of members. It was this
wonderful cooperation that made this movement the
success it is today. Big men of business give of their

valuable experience to their less fortunate and weak-
er brothers ; men of high ideals gave of their time and
service to the cause.

No one man alone is responsible for this success.
No one man wants all the credit for it, and least of
all the one who is largely entitled to the credit. It
has been the combined efforts of all, in the spirit of
Faith, Truth and Determination that has brought
us where we are today. It is this same spirit of
Faith, Truth and Determination that will carry us
on to the goal we are aiming for, putting always the
organization first and letting our personal success
follow.

Let me quote here an editorial from Collier's Week-
ly on "More Cooperation and Less Competition."

"Business men are making new and unusual friend-
ships these days. The head of one of the largest
manufacturing concerns a while ago actually lent
money to his closest competitor when that man could
not get it from the bank ! He explained that he
couldn't afford to have his line of business injured
by a failure."

"A large mail-order house learned that a new con-
cern was being organized to compete with it. The
manager immediately asked the head of the new
concern to call on him at his office. The new man
was astonished to see all the books, plans, policies,
etc., of the old concern spread out before him with
the invitation that he make himself familiar with
them. 'I want you to be sure you succeed if you come
in the field against us,' remarked the manager of
the old house. Today most advertising men include
the names of competitors on their mailing lists to re-
ceive their printed matter."

Cooperation, friendliness, good will ; this is the stuff
that success is made of. This is the thing needed in
every line of endeavor. It is safe to say that prac-
tically all progress in industry has been made by
cooperation, and practically none has been made by
what we usually term competition. There is room
and prosperity for all of us. Let the other fellow
have his chance while he gives us our own share
of the road. I fully believe the F. T. D. A. above all
other mediums of distribution, has a right to com-
mand a close relationship, not only of the growers,
but of all other branches of the trade that are bene-
ficiaries.

Why Growers Should Be Interested

The question may come to your minds, how can the
growers and other branches of the trade best assist
and cooperate in order to form that closer relation-
ship with the F. T. D. A. and extend thereby the reci-
procity this organization is entitled to? First of all,
every retail grower should strive to become an active
member ; over 50 per cent of our members are retail
growers. All wholesale growers, commission, supply
and material men should become associate members
and also subscribe to the F. T. D. Neics, not only in
order to assist in this small financial way, but in
order to keep informed with the work, service and
progress of our organization.

Plans of great moment and far reaching are at
the present time being worked out for the future
progress of this association ; a more close relation-
ship between the membership and the organization
will be invoked by the District Unit system, and the

When the flowers of a variety, the planting stock
of which is offered to the trade for the first time, have
been selling in the market for years through the same
wholesaler, and in increasing quantity, it would seem
that "the seal of approval" must have been stamped
on the newcomer.

Such is the history of "My Welcome," raised by
Henry Hession, Linden ave. and East 49th St., Brook-
lyn, N. Y. and now offered as a new pink Carnation
•for 1923. The introduction is a sport of Enchantress.
It is a true light pink, emphasized particularly so in
the heart of the flower, with the splendid advantage
of sustaining its color under conditions which havr-
the tendency to whiten Enchantress, its parent.

The Hessions, Henry and Vincent, who succeeded
their father at his demise some years ago, have had
every opportunity, since they have been growing
"My Welcome" for years, to watch that big factor in
all introductions, namely, productiveness. And it is
their opinion that "My Welcome" is unequaled in that
respect, and surely the houses we saw containing this
variety amply verified this. Moreover, it is free from
the evil of splitting. Incidentally, the New York Flo-
rists Club, recognized throughout the country as the
severest of judges, but withal a just one, awarded
"My Welcome" on the club's Carnation Night, last
Winter, a certificate of merit, with a score of 90
points.

new Clearing House plan. The Publicity Bureau is
also being enlarged for which plans are already well
under way and through which we expect to get in
much closer touch with the public, thereby increas-
ing the demand for our service. But all these are
only steps toward ultimately higher and greater
things.

Remember, the world is our field and the field is
ripe for the harvest in Florist Telegraph Delivery
service. There is truly in the world today, as ever,
the need of the good Samaritan, as man is ever in
danger of falling into the hands of thieves and high-
waymen. But if we in our humble mission can

strew the roads of Jericho with flowers, may we not
thereby expect to lead the minds from ulterior
thoughts and motives to a higher plane and help to
make all roads less dangerous?

At least, let us try by sending messages of love to
mankind, thereby kindling in the hearts of all people,
the spirit of good fellowship and of brotherly love.
Let us follow iu the footsteps of the missionaries, with
our product to the ends of the earth, adding to their
wonderful gospel, our gospel. "SAY IT WITH FLOW-
ERS," with the same FAITH, TRUTH and DETER-
MINATION that they do, in order to serve God and
man. I say, is this relationship not worth while?

Carnation My Welcome

Originated by Henry Hession, Brooklyn, N.

Of the 15 houses at Hessions, comprising 100,000
sq. ft. of glass, five houses are devoted to "My Wel-
come." Delivery of rooted cuttings commenced in
December.

Just a deserving word in connection with the spleu-
did condition in which the representative of The Ex-
change found the Hession establishment. The beds
and walks in the houses presented a picture of ut-
most exactness, while the boiler rooms, shipping de-
partment, and all else, revealed a detestation of un-
tidiness, for all were in perfect order.

What We Know About Boston Ferns

By R. C. BENEDICT, Brooklyn Botanic Garden

VIII — Retailers' Opinions: "Best Boston Fern"

WHAT do retail florists rate as the champion
Boston Fern? What variety stands the test of
shop conditions best? What variety do their
customers prefer? In previous articles I have asked
that florists send in their opinions and the results of
their experience to The Exchange. From the judg-
ments of many, there might be found sufficient agree-
ment to justify a real conclusion.

But the average man is not ordinarily a letter
writer. He may feel an interest momentarily in
some question, but he rarely expresses it unless to
the next person he meets. The press of daily routine
leaves little time for putting ideas on paper. For
that reason I have spent some time visiting retailers,
asking questions about ferns, and this article presents
a symposium of the opinions of a score of florists dis-
tributed through Greater New York from lower Sec-
ond ave., on the East Side to upper Madison ave., with
the best section of Fifth ave. for its trade; and from
Broadway in uptown Manhattan to Flatbush, Brook-
lyn, a district representative of the average good
residence section of any typical American city.

Old Type Has Many Friends

Tall Boston. — One high-class shop on upper Madi-

son ave. rates the old Boston as still the best for its
trade. Asked whether this form did not make plants
too large for the ordinary dwelling, the retailer re-
plied that his trade had large windows and drawing
rooms, affording space for large plants. In this shop
were two hanging Bostons as living demonstrations
that a beautiful plant can be grown with only side
lighting. I was told of a fern which sold itself after
two years in the window because the grace of its
hanging leaves made a special appeal to a customer.
The best shop visited on upper Broadway also voted
for the old Boston variety, and growers have re-
peatedly told me that this fern must be rated best
of all from the standpoint of general cultural adapta-
bility. Is there any dispute of this?

Scotti. — Most retailers do not have Fifth ave, or
Riverside drive drawing rooms to supply and the
smaller type fern is practically demanded in the case
of the average New York dwelling. Scott's Fern is
still a strong favorite in New York. I believe I saw
plants in every shop visited, and sometimes, it was
the predominant variety. There is no doubt that it
lasts well, but there is a question, raised by growers
and some retailers, whether" it has the all around
adaptability of the next mentioned fern.

Dwarf Boston. — This variety has the flatter leaf
and darker green of the tall Boston, with the size
of Scotti. Retail florists do not yet know it as well
as they do Scotti, but some claim for it a more con-
tinuous growth, and better adaptability to the home.

One of the Prettiest of All

Teody, Jk. — This variety is one of the prettiest of
all. Dwarf like Scotti, it has more graceful leaves,
with a pretty ruffling of the leaflets, and a graceful
carriage. It is not as common in the New York trade
as the two above, though in other cities it is some-
times much commoner. Some difference of opinion
was observed as to its durability under store condi-
tions. Culturally, for the grower, it is one of the
best.

Giateasi. — An uptown Broadway (Harlem) florist
rated this best of all, both for looks and keeping
qualities. It is not common in the trade, but from
the standpoint of beauty alone has certain claims
that justify consideration.

1534

The Florists Exchange

Macaw i. —With Teddy, Jr., this fern probably pro-
duces more leaves per pot, than any other variety,
and in beautifully symmetrical arrangement. Al-
though it is grown by the thousands about Philadel-
phia and Boston, and is certainly common near
New York, I saw very few plants in the retail stores
there.

President Wilson. — This variety, originated by
Dresser of Union Hill, N. J., is of the same origin
and form as Macawi. One florist rated it best for
shop purposes.

Roosevelti might be called a tall Boston with
ruffled leaflets. Many retailers carry plants, though
none of those visited preferred it above other varie-
ties. Harhisi has the same appearance, but is larger.

Verona is the commonest lace or fancy type in the
New York trade. One Flatbush florist called it the
best keeper of all, while another around the corner
had no use for it. In general it stands high with
both grower and retailer.

Scholzbli, a dwarf plume variety of excellent
keeping characteristics and form was seen in several
shops, and so may be considered to have received a
partial vote.

Elegantissima and Whitmani, two plume forms,
long standard with growers and retailers, were seen
occasionally and have their friends. Smithi, as it
happened, was not noted in a single shop.

Other Questions Worth Answering

How long, it may be asked, will a good plant last
in the store with proper watering but with no effort
to give it good light? Retailers differ on this point.
Some reported plants as salable after four or five
months ; others use all ferns a month old for make-up
wwk, boxes, etc. If we are to secure really conclu-
sive information, the shop men must make their
tests as well as the growers.

How much difference is there between pot grown
and bench grown plants? Here is another important
problem. Has anyone final evidence to support his
beliefs?

Dollars vs. Marks

At a recent gathering of the N. Y. and N. J. Plant
Growers Association, it was mentioned that Mr. Schu-
macker who, some years ago, controlled what after-
ward became the J. M. Keller Co. of Whitestone,
N. Y., and who retired and returned to Germany with
some $55,000, was in greatly reduced circumstances,
owing to the deplorable conditions brought about by
the Great War and the fall of the mark.

On the appeal of a member, a whip round resulted
in some $35, which was handed to J. Fiesser of North
Bergen, N. J., who undertook to forward the money
to their old-time colleague.

At the time of mailing, we understand, the ex-
change stood at 6600 marks to the dollar, so that the
recipient will receive over 230,000 marks, a sum, that
even at the tremendously low purchasing power of
the mark in Germany, will put Mr. Schumacher in a
state of affluence, for a time at least.

shortsightedness in regard to the coal situation. Jot
Jacob Rogers, member of Congress from Massach
setts, states that during September, when the dangi
of a fuel shortage was considerably more than
vague rumor, nearly 1,250,000 tons of sorely need(
coal were shipped out of the country ! Well, perhaj
they were destined to relieve suffering in far off lam
where conditions are worse than here. But, on tl
other hand, they certainly weren't sent as a gift, ai
as between heat-giving fuel and cold, hard cash,
doesn't seem as though there was more than one sai
choice to be made last Fall, not by a prosperous natii
like ours, at any rate. Rep. Rogers' bill, as outlim
in the "Week at the Capital," elsewhere in this issv.
sounds to us like the "right dope."

Boston Ferns in the Retail Shop

Ferns are of value to the retail florist not only as sales material, but also because of the decorative effect they produce while in the shop.

The S. A. F. and 0. H. Annual

READ THESE LETTERS

What Three Presidents-

THOS. ROLAND-1920-1

To the Horticultural Interests of America:

The experience of societies everywhere,
in issuing- annuals of the right sort, is evi-
dence that they are a benefit; especially
where the opportunity offers, as with us,
to collate information on the new and the
old, on science and on hard-headed prac-
tice, on theory and experience — all to an
extent not equaled in most industries, be-
cause ours is progressing rapidly and with-
out enough of either science, standardiza-
tion or widespread information.

Rightly done — and it will be rightly
done — our ANNUAL will be a much con-
sulted aid to every florist and horticultur-
ist. It is intended to make its value evi-
dent from the beginning, although natu-
rally it may improve with the years.

The S. A. F. cooperates with the A. T.
De La Mare Co. in this publication. Initial
expenses are the heaviest and initial re-
ceipts may be the lowest — until its way is
shown and its worth is proven. I bespeak,
therefore, the hearty support of florists
everywhere; for they will reap the benefit,
and after a few years' experience they will
prize it as a real history in current events,
prophecy and analysis of the progress of
horticulture in America.

This is only one of many doings of the
S. A. F. in the aid of plant and flower lov-
ers. Join the S. A. F. The enthusiast
and the Society can help each other.

(Signed) THOMAS ROLAND.

How It Can Serve You

OFFICIALLY approved and authorized by the Thirty-eighth Annual Convention of the
S. A. F. and O. H., this Annual is going to be "a yearly review of the progress and accom-
plishment of American horticulture; a complete record of the membership and work of
the Society and other horticultural organizations and of horticultural activities in general; and
an uptodate directory and reference book of practical information for all branches of the trade."

As a practical grower, retailer, seedsman, nurseryman, etc., you will find it an
invaluable source of reference material, dates, addresses, records, facts and figures; you will want
to keep it. as close at hand as the telephone directory or the dictionary. It will help you keep
abreast of the leading horticultural achievements of the day.

As a member of the S. A. F. and O. H., the F. T. D. A., the National Growers, or any of
the national specialty associations, you will find it a welcome, tangible link to keep you in closer
touch with the Mother Society. As an inducement to prospective members, it will add to the
strength and prestige of the organization and thereby enable it to further promote your welfare.

As a buyer of plant materials of all sorts, you will find it an extensive, carefully arranged and classified
directory of the best dealers in every line.

As an advertiser of horticultural goods, you will find it a medium of unprecedented scope and worth.
An assured circulation of over 4000 among the cream of the trade, and a probable distribution among fully as

many other practical tradesmen will carry your
message before the majority of the country's
highest class buying public. The added prestige
of a place among the leading advertisers of the day
— in what may be called a Horticultural Buyer's
Blue Book — will make I your advertising a sure
fire, giltedge investment.

®

Who Will It Serve?

The S. A. F. and O. H. Annual will be so compre-
hensive, practical and timely, that it will prove in-
valuable as a daily guide and reference book for

Florists, Seedsmen, Nurserymen

Growers, Wholesalers, Supply Dealers

Greenhouse and Boiler Manufacturers

Fertilizer Concerns, Gardeners

Instructors, Investigators, Editors

Advanced Amateurs

Everyone, in fact, who has any interest, direct
or indirect, in any phase of horticulture both within
and without the ranks of the Society.

The volume will be so arranged that each group
of users will be able to quickly locate the desired
information in his own or any related field.

S. S. PENNOCK^1921-2

When the proposal was made to issue
an Annual such as is outlined by the
proposition that the S. A. F. accepted
at its annual convention in August, quite
a number felt that this would be a won-
derful advantage to the trade ; but I
don't believe that those who really know
the most about it fully realize, even now,
what it will mean in the future — what a
help it will be.

It is a book that every one should
have for reference, and no florist in any
branch of the business can afford to be
without this most valuable work of prac-
tical and uptodate information.

(Signed) S. S. Pennook.

Four hundred pages of text; 100 or more pages
of usable advertising; well printed on good paper,
strongly bound (regularly in paper but in cloth
for those who desire it, at slight added cost),
carefully edited, complete, accurate, reliable —
the S. A. F. and O. H. Annual is the outstanding
feature in modern horticultural trade literature.

Say About the Annual

IRWIN BERTERMANN-1922-3

The progress and accomplishment of
American horticulture and floriculture
are keeping pace with the foremost of
this great country's undertakings. The
Society of American Florists, as the ex-
ponent of this leadership, has taken un-
der its guidance many matters of direct
and vital importance to the individual
florist. The society does not indulge in
generalities, but is a valuable practical
asset for each of us.

Think, too, of the inspiration that we
can gain from the fact that four thou-
sand leading, stalwart florists of the
country are united in aiming for the best
there is ! Consequently it gives me great
pride to heartily endorse the Annual as
an exemplification of the kind of serv-
ice the society renders. Good luck and
success to it, reaching onward and for-
ward at all times.

JINGLING UP TRADE

By CLARENCE T. HUBBARD

may all be emphasized,
the fashion !

Again I say, let's make it

JINGLES are quite in vogue and are to be found
applied in all sorts of selling campaigns. Street
car advertisements, newspaper publicity and na-
tional magazine campaigns all contain a number of
jingles. Some advertising, like Campbell's Soups, use
jingles perpetually, and from all reports readers seek
them on the arrival of each new magazine. The
Crackerjack people also use jingles to a heavy extent.
In fact, many stores selling "pleasure products" asso-
ciate jingles and rhymes with their offerings as a
means of stimulating business.

The florist can use jingles and brief verses to good
effect by having such rhymes
bearing on his offerings
printed on small cards or let-
tered on large ones, and then
displayed with the flowers in
the window, or the cards
placed on the walls of the
store. They can also be used
in street car advertising,
newspaper advertising,
through the use of special
mailing pieces, printed on
blotters, included on the
backs of envelopes or in many
different ways.

With the aid of one of the
printing outfits sold, which
includes a set of type for each
letter, the florist can make up
his own jingle songs, although
it is suggested that wherever
possible they be lettered most
artistically so as to be in
keeping with their very pur-
pose. Or with a brush the
verses can be painted on and,
if desired, illustrated with
colored cutout pictures or
hand paintings. By making
up a few jingles and sending
them over to your sign
painter, he will apply them to
placards with colored border
illustrations. Such signs
placed in the window and
changed regularly are capable
of making a feature that will
attract regular and worth
while attention. Again, it will
prove something different and
assist in the valuable effort

of getting folks to watch your store. And by connect-
ing some of the jingles with local events, much good-
natured advertising will result from customers who
will repeat the rhymes to their friends or call the
attention of their associates to it.

A window full of seasonable flowers, for example,
would increase in interest if there was included a cut
out cardboard or piece of wood representing an ar-
tist's plaque. On this plaque a jingle along the fol-
lowing lines can be included.

"If I were an artist," said Billy McBly,

"I'd paint flowers from morn to night ;

"They must be beautiful in color, fragrance and
light,

"But more beautiful than ever when they're in full
sight."

In inaugurating jingles as a means of advertising,
it can be done without the loss of any dignity. The
jingles can be well selected and made to be either
serious or semi-humorous.

. Following is a jingle one florist used in a window
display, which caused more people to stop and read
than if it had been plain prose :
"Roses are red, Violets are blue,

Orchids are rarer even tho' they are few ;

But whether Roses or Lilies, flowers old or new,

They all come here and just for you !"

For miscellaneous uses the following jingles can
be modified to fit floral displays :
"For she's my daisy" is a Scotch song of fame;
"It shows in its life just what's in a name.

Our flowers are all Daisies in the sense of the word,

Daisies for her — if you're a wise bird."

"I would give the earth," said Jones to Jiggs, "if I
could meet that girl on the corner."

"Why the earth," said Jiggs, "when there are flowers

above. What you need are some bouquets to

storm her."

_ The florist need not worry about making up these

jingles. If not gifted that way himself, he can get

some newspaper man or writing friend to start him
off. After the plan has been once instituted the cus-
tomers will become the main contributors, and there
is no better advertisement than displaying a custom-
er's own jingle. It cements him personally as a cus-
tomer and brings others. He is very likely to direct
friends to your store to read his jingle and boast
about it pretty generally.

In fact, quite a publicity matter can be made out
of the jingle idea by offering prizes in the form of
flowers for the best jingle submitted. The response
will be heavier than anticipated. Cash prizes or floral

Ferns, etc. By Swiss Floral Co., Portland, Ore.

offerings can be offered to school children and to
ladies submitting the best jingles. In this way your
store can get its name widely circulated at a small
cost.

The good or ill will of employees is not to be over-
looked. Loyal, enthusiastic helpers who believe in the
boss, his skill in plant raising and floriculture, and his
business methods, are a big asset. Knockers are un-
fortunate liabilities. It pays to make genuine and
sincere eooperators of our working force.

* * *

Let's take a day off soon and map out a model plan
for a model business man in our own line. Then let's
follow it or its suitable adaptation promptly and
closely. Such a course of action will lead to fairer
fields, greener pastures, and a fatter bank account.

* # *

Gloom advertises itself blatantly as failure and as
lack of modern progressiveness. On the other hand,
Cheerfulness declares pleasantly, "We're prosperous.
We're happy. All is right with the world. Come on
in — the water is tine!" .t. „ „

Occasionally the florist will
do some worth while adver-
tising by sending some of his
flowers which are past their
first best, to someone who will
appreciate their remaining
loveliness. What about some
of the old people in the Old
Ladies' Home ; or that boy
whose people are in limited
circumstances and who has
had operation after operation
until he is thoroughly discour-
aged ; or the old couple who
have once a year come in and
bought flowers — just a few as
a great treat?

Once in awhile, enjoy the
happiness yourself of sending
a few flowers with your com-
pliments. You can make a
frank statement that these
blooms have only a short
time left to live, but that
they have a message of joy
just the same, which you are
anxious someone should
share. One florist who did
this, found that it paid in
both satisfaction, and indi-
rectly in a business way.
* * *

One day doesn't make a
week or a year. One ad will
not build success. It is the
procession well directed,
which makes the people on
the side lines thrill. It's up
to you to marshal the busi-
ness procession of your own
affairs — to advertise it, and
to let people know continuously the quality and char-
acter of the service which you give.

Business Blossoms

By LESTER G. HERBERT

Aim definitely to make every customer who enters
your doors so enthusiastic over the beauty and influ-
ence of plants and flowers, that these people will
virtually become your salesmen representatives. This
is real salesmanship on your part, and it is most in-
teresting to see how successfully you can enlist the
interest of other people in flowers and the giving of
flowers.

* * *

The florist who causes a hostess anxiety by the
tardiness of his service, can scarcely expect repeat
orders from her, or first orders from her friends.
Promptness is a real asset. If for any reason the ar-
rival of the decorators or the floral decorations is
slightly delayed, telephone a reassurance as to the
reason, and when their arrival may be expected.

* * *

Why should florists not cooperate to popularize the
buttonhole bouquet? Let's make it the fashion. It
can be done ! The more people who buy the bouton-
niere, the better. Many people fail to appreciate the
loveliness of flowers because they so seldom come
closely face to face with them. In selling a small
bunch of flowers for immediate use ou lapel, suit coat,
or fur neckpiece, one florist often produces a hand
magnifying glass and says, "Look at the beauty of
this a little more closely." Invariably he is rewarded
with an exclamation of delight. The significance,
color, fragrance, and attractiveness of the blooms

There are people who, having a dime, long to take
half of it and buy a Hyacinth for their soul. They
"long," we say, but do not quite dare. They fear
someone will call them foolish or extravagant or
sentimental.

Help them to have the courage of their God-given
love of beauty, by letting your advertising tell some-
times of the help and encouragement and inspiration
of flowers. Why, they are gay. glad things. They de-
light our senses. They make us think well of the
world and mankind. They make us eager to- do and
to be. Tell folks these things and tell them again and

again until they believe it.

* * *

Let's push the idea of "Flowers on the Home Table"
and feature table bouquets for everyday use. Show
that foods eaten under the influence of cheerful, re-
fined surroundings, are more easily digested. Flowers
encourage harmony and happiness. Who ever heard
of an angry man throwing a bouquet ; of anyone hurl-
ing a sheaf of flowers at the feet of a hated enemy?

Flowers speak a different language. Let's help
folks to learn and to use that language — to "Say it
with Flowers !"

American Dahlia Society

Secretary Wm. J. Rathgeber announces that the
January issue of the Bulletin is now in preparation,

Trade Notes

Nov. 27. — As far as stock is con-
cerned, the supply of cut blooms is of first
rate quality. Carnations are not too plen-
tiful and good Valley is scarce. Roses,
local grown, are in good supply, and
quality is quite equal to imported stock.
Violets are in demand with a steady sup-
ply, mostly imported. Paperwhites in
light supply. Gardenias are sufficient to
meet all demands.

is plentiful. I saw a consignment of
IS, 000 standard Jap. varieties and 1200
bunches of Pompons arrive today in first
rate condition, but Bryan figures he has
the game in hand and that there will be
no slump at Thanksgiving.

Advance inquiries for Christmas green-
ery are heavy and come from as far East
as Chicago. Last season one local Holly
grower shipped a carload to Boston, but
told me today that his crop is without
berries.

A Big Bank Display

Again a local bank comes to the as-
sistance of the florist trade at a critical
period. This time it was the First Na-
tional Bank of Seattle, the occasion was
its removal into a new home. The floral
tribute to its officers was such as is sel-
dom seen. I counted 115 floral baskets,
ranging from 2ft. to 4ft high and two set
pieces. In the majority of cases, Chrys-
anthemums were the favored blooms,
though mention must be made of two very
elaborate baskets of Roses. By the crowds
which visited the building, great atten-
tion was devoted to the minature 'Mum
show. Apparently this extra trade was
very evenly split up among local stores.
Holtywood Gardens made up some 15 bas-
kets; Woodlawn Flower Shop, about the
same, while in addition to a number of
baskets, Rosaia Bros, executed a fine set
piece 6ft.x4ft., which included a realistic
production in button Pompon 'Mums of
the head of "Chief Seattle," and was made
to the order of the Seattle National Bank.
The City Flower Shop also produced an
artistic set piece, representing a modern
automobile, to the order of a local auto-
mobile company. McCoys reported ten
baskets as their share of the spoils. This
habit of flower giving and using by our
business men, seems to be on the increase.
I have noticed more flowers in various
store windows this fall than ever before.
It's a good and beautiful habit, so let's
keep it alive.

Early Christmas Decorations

In this connection, there is a gen-
eral air of advanced festivity in keeping
with the Christmas season, on our city
streets; the miles of festoons and hun-
dreds of wreaths which I referred to in
former notes, were successfully installed
by Fred Winters, Gene Sandahl and a
force of 20 decorators in 12 hours, Mon-
day morning being ushered in by a very
effective transformation scene, which is a
credit to both the sponsors and the cre-
ators. We believe this city is the first in
the country to attempt street decora-
tions on such a lavish scale, with the sole
object of encouraging early Christmas
shopping.

Mack Reece, the Bellevue grower, carried
out the work. On the face of the Times
Building in Times sq., a magnificent Holly
wreath 20ft. in diameter and containing
300 lbs. of green Holly, beautifully studded
with red light, is the work of the Wood-
lawn Flower Store.

The Melby Flower Shop was again given
the contract to supply 1500 corsages in
the colors of the University of Washing-
ton, on the occasion of the annual foot-
ball game with the University of Oregon
in the local stadium on Thanksgiving
Bay.

At the opening of the new Mack Thea-
tre at Port Anjelos, Wash., last week, the
floral decorations were arranged by the
staff of Rosaia Bros., under direction of
Geo. Rosaia. Miss Laura Rosaia, for
some time the popular cashier of Rosaia
Bros., last week became the bride of Ray-
mond Guisti. We extend congratulations
and good wishes. Geo. Rosaia accompan-
ied E. H. McLennan, San Francisco grow-
er, on a visit to the Beall's Greenhouse,
Vashon Island on Friday last.

Will Goldsbarry, representative of W.
A. Raindall Co., Chicago, returned to
local headquarters here, from his inter-
mountain territory trip on Friday last.
He reports very satisfactory business with
the trade generally optimistic.

Guy French of the American Bulb Co.,
Chicago is a local visitor. Guy is well
known here, and was entertained by his
old friend, Will Desmond.

E. W. McLellan of the E. W. McLellan
Co., wholesale growers, San Francisco, is
visiting local growrers and trade generally.

At Beall's, Vashon Island, their 400ft.
house of Golden Chadwicks is now carry-
ing 45,000 blooms and is a credit to the
abilities of the firm. Plans are going for-
ward, I am informed, for the erection of
another 400 footer.

Frank Schevenka of the Woodland Park
Floral Co., Sumner, Wash., says their
Christmas stock is coming along fine. Poin-
settias to the number of 10,000 are doing
well, also 5000 Cyclamens in 5, 6, 7 and
8in. pots. They have a nice lot of Be-
gonia Cincinnati. He states his new
Rose Honeymoon, is the best doer they
have, and is cutting freely; also that re-
ports received by him from various grow-
ers of test plants are very favorable. He
reports their oil burning outfit is giving
them entire satisfaction, and calculates
the saving on their fuel bill, at $35 per
week. Geo. Cooper.

Kalamazoo, Mich.

The first holiday of the season passed
over in a satisfactory way, according to
the opinion of the local trade. The weath-
er %vas certainly fine and mild for the
season and deliveries were made without
much wrapping. Shipping trade was sat-
isfactory all the week, and cut flowers
were sold out close right along. Of course,
'Mums maintained their quotations, but
did not advance any. The demand in
Roses and Carnations moved them up a
peg or two, which was needed, as these
have been rather too cheap here of late.

Van Bochones had a fine display of
'Mums in their windows, the flowers being
extra well finished, for which $10 per doz.
wras asked. However, there were also
plenty of good stock at $5 and down to
$3 per doz.

Carnations moved up to $1.50 and
Roses to $2 and upward.

Winter Cherries and Cyclamen were
everywhere and so were 'Mums in pots at
all sizes and prices from 50c. up.

Generally speaking, the retail trade was
about what was expected and perhaps a
little better than last year. From now
on, with the 'Mums out of the way, fair-

John Van Bochone arrived home last
week from his hunt in the Northwest and
tells me their party had a fine time and
succeeded in bagging their allowed quota.
The weather was very mild in the North-
west, which indicates a continuance of
our present conditions here which are ex-
ceptionally fine for growing stock. With
the Christmas holidays so near at hand,
we hope it will linger a week or two
longer. S. B.

Kansas City, Mo.

Thanksgiving provided a very com-
plete and satisfactory clearance of Chrys-
anthemums in Kansas City, wholesalers as
well as retailers being pretty well cleaned
out. It was considered unfortunate, how-
ever, that the supply of the better qual-
ity stock was so inadequate, as it was
necessary to move stock that did not grade
up to the desired quality, to meet the in-
sistent call for 'Mums. The Rose supply
of the better qualities also ran short, it
is reported; but many merchants were
careful not to use inferior stock in cases
where customers were expecting the good.

An Exceptional Occasion

One of the notable events of the
Fall was the annual banquet of the St.
Andrews Society of Kansas City, made
particularly noteworthy by the coming
here of Sir Arthur Currie, commander
of the Canadian forces in the World
War, to address the society. The general
and Lady Currie were guests of the so-
ciety while in Kansas City; he spoke to
only one other gathering, the semi-month-
ly noon luncheon of the Chamber of
Commerce, a courtesy extended by the So-
ciety. Other noted men were also guests,
but from nearby, Gov. Henry J. Allen of
Kansas, and Bishop Sidney C. Partridge
of the Episcopal Church. Samuel Murray,
one of the organizers of the Society nine
years ago, now serving his second term
as its president, directed the general ar-
rangements for the banquet, and presid-

ed. His flower store organization planned
and provided the decorations for the
Francis I room of the Hotel Baltimore,
where the banquet was held — the number
of guests restricted to 300. The decora-
tions had several interesting features.
This room is "heavily" adorned with large
pillars of dark wood, with dark tinted
paintings illustrating the Francis I period
on the walls. Sprays of Woodwardia
fern, given touches of color with yellow
Chrysanthemums, were used on pillows at
light brackets. At the chairman's table
were two great vases, taller than the
speakers' heads, of Chrysanthemums, yel-
low and bronze red. The basic motif of
the table decorations was Begonia plants
in baskets, whose foliage, topped by the
blooms, provided a remarkably harmoni-
ous effect in connection with the color
shades of the room — and the rose shades
of the electric lamps. On each table was
a basket, containing three or more of the
Melior Begonia plants, according to the
size of the table. Among the Begonias
was Heather, suggestive of the nation-
ality of the gathering. The table decora-
tions were completed with Apples and
Grapes — the real fruit — as suggestive of
the Thanksgiving season (the banquet oc-

curring Nov. 28) and Chrysanthemums.
Each lady was given an old fashioned
bouquet of Rosebuds and Heather. A
quite incidental but striking element in
the color result — studiously considered —
was the effect of the bronze red of the
Chrysanthemums under the rose colored
light, quite as striking as the effect of
the Begonias.

M.-K.-O. Hotel Men's Ass'n Decora-
tions

A new idea in table decoration for
an elaborate banquet was employed by
Hugo Neff in the working out of the
scheme for the annual event of the Mis-
souri-Kansas-Oklahoma Hotel Men's As-
sociation, at the Muehlebach Hotel, Nov.
28. Those banquets, held in Kansas City
about once in three years, provide oppor-
tunity for the Muehlebach to show tbe
visiting hotel men the very latest turns
in service and decorations; and floral
subjects occupied a large place in the
plans. At some former banquets, the ef-
fort to produce striking effects has re-
sulted in so elaborate use of flowers and
ornaments that "the forest could not be
seen for the trees." This time, there was
no overcrowded effect, but one of fine taste
and beauty. And the chief factor in this
result was the use of made-up "trees" as
the centerpiece on each table — the new
idea in this piece being the use of Pom-
pon Chrysanthemums for the "limbs" of
the trees. A surprisingly artistic and at-
tractive effect was secured. The bases of
the "trees" consisted of Chrysanthemums
and Roses, both "branches" and "boles"
being kept fresh by moist balls of moss.
Another flower feature novelty was the
use of ice-vases and ice-bowls containing
fresh flowers, in the "parade" spectacle
preceding the service of food. This parade
is a feature of the elaborate Muehlebach
banquets, heretofore being ordinarily of
waiters carrying trays on which were ice-
figures of fowls and other objects. There
were such ice-figures this year, but trays
carrying them also had flowers, while sev-
eral trays had only the frozen vases or
bowls, with the cut flowers. The ceiling
was concealed with Smilax, among which
Spanish moss sprays depended; lights were
in parter Chrvsanthemums. The side wall
decorative scheme hinged on half a doz-
™ pillars, hollow, on the faces of which
were cut out and illuminated red hearts,
the heart being recognized as the symbol
for the "Heart of America," There were
fountains in the middle of the room, and
small fountains on the head table.

An interesting feature of floral decor-
ations for the Missouri-Kansas-Oklahoma
Hotel Men's Convention was in connec-
tion with the "frolic" on Monday even-
ing, the night before the annual banquet.
A "county fair" had been prepared in
one large hall, where a buffet luncheon
was offered; a nearby room was provided
with booths, each booth decorated with
Smilax and flowers as a garden, where
waiters served such guests as did not
wish to eat while standing.

Thanksgiving Trade

The past week has been one of un-
usual activity. Ideal weather conditions
prevailed for Thanksgiving and every one
reports an improvement over last year's
business.

All kinds of Chrysanthemums were ex-
ceedingly good, the better grade moved
especially well. Large pink Seidewitz
was fine and Pompons were in great de-
mand and cleared up early. More could
have been sold had they been available,
but 'Mums in this locality are about
cleaned out.

Roses and Carnations are coming into
the lead once more with a good demand.
Orchids are scarce, but Sweet Peas are
on hand, although the quality is not up
to standard. There is a good demand for
Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri.

Potted plants include Narcissus, Calen-
dula, Primula and Cyclamen. Christmas
stock is much in evidence.

News Notes

There have been several reopenings
which called for many flowers this past
week.

The opening of the Broadway State
Bank resulted in a bower of flowers this
week. Many beautiful baskets were sent
which included 'Mums, Roses and Carna-
tions. Flowers were given to the ladies.

The Doswell Floral Co. reports that
Thanksgiving Day trade went over the
top, while E. Wenninghoff says he didn't
have half enough stock.

Mr. Butz of Newcastle, Pa., was an
interesting visitor this week. Being great-
ly interested in orchids he spent some
time at W. J. & M. S. Vesey's range.

Floriculture is the latest addition to the

course. The courses now given are as

Management; Commercial Floriculture;
Garden Flowers; Floral Decoration and
Design; General Floriculture.

Recently the Horticultural Department
held its second annual show in the green-
house. This was conducted entirely by the
students, and combined an exhibit of
fruit, vegetables and flowers, attracting
visits from several thousand people.

Thanksgiving 1922 has come and gone
and from all accounts was good for grow-
ers, wholesalers and retailers. Prices
were reasonable. Of course, Chrysanthe-
mums took the lead in demand, followed
by Carnations and Roses. Sweet Peas and
Violets were scarce. Large size 'Mums
wrere in demand and scarce, white being
very scarce. The supply of Pompons was
large and these were cleaned out at mod-
erate prices. White Roses were in de-
mand; this is very unsatisfactory for the
wholesalers as at times there is little or
no demand for white Roses. Carna-
tions arrived in fairly good condition, but
the weather has been too warm to give
the plants any real vitality. Reports from
the retailers tell of good Thanksgiving
business.

At time of writing it is raining slight-
ly and the temperature is about freez-
ing. Horse show starts this week, which
generally brings demand for high priced
'Mums; also the football games do their
share to swell receipts. Now the plants-
men will be busy getting their product in
shape for Christmas business. The grow-
ers will endeavor to advise the whole-
salers of their likelihood in supply. It
is to be hoped that all the growers will
realize there is nothing in holding back;
that it is best to ship their regular ship-
ments and trust the market to do its
best. Pickled stock has and always will
be a very unsatisfactory problem for the
grower. With increased publicity, de-
mand becomes more certain.

The wholesalers who handle supplies are
now showing all the latest novelties for
holiday trade.

Notes

Geo. Pieser Wholesale Floral Co.
will now carry on its business at the new
location, 1416 Pine st. The removal was
caused through a very destructive fire in
its building.

ings, is home on the sick list.

During the past week Vincent and
Frank Gorly have visited the wholesale
district and have bought largely in
Chrysanthemums for special sales.

a location on Washington ave. shortly.

Sara should make good as he has a good
general knowledge of the flower business.

Joe Witeek, one of the most successful
of our retailers at the recent show in the
way of prizes, is a daily visitor to the
market. Nothing fancy misses Joe's eye.
Me is one of our most wonderful and ar-
tistic designers.

Paul Heil is another of our successful
retailers. For many years with the Ayres
Floral Co., he has built up a trade in a
remarkably short space of time.

Prices for Thanksgiving: Roses — Colum-
bia, $8 to ?30; Killarney (Double) $10 to
$20; Milady, $12 to $20; Butterfly, $6 to
$15; Premier, $8 to $35. Carnations, $5
to $6; Narcissus, $S; Chrysanthemums, $4
to $9 per doz.; Sweet Peas, $2 to $3;
Violets, $1 to $2; Asparagus, 35c. to $1
per bunch; Lilies LongifLorurn, $20; Sim-
lax, $3 per doz.

The "Say it with Flowers" Bowling
League will have a very interesting ses-
sion next meeting, Violets and Roses
righting for supremacy.

Saturday showed a stiff market. Roses
were not plentiful and good Carnations
were holding at upper prices.

St. Louis Seed Co. is showing some
choice canary birds imported from Ger-
many.

Narcissus is holding at $8 to $10 per
100.

Columbia and Butterfly Roses are the
only ones showing a surplus. C. W. W.

What's in a Name?

We have heard of people being afraid
to call their soul their own, but the trou-
ble in New Bedford, Mass., so far as we
can judge by the Times report, has been
that there are too many Sowles there.
It seems that Sowles, the Florist, — known
on tax lists as Herbert V. — tried to have
an injunction issued to prevent his brother
Frederick and the latter's son Clifton from
carrying on a retail business under tha
name Sowle Floral Co. The petition was
heard, discussed at length, both pro and
con, and the injunction refused by the
referee on the ground that, first, the name
chosen by the defendants was as unlike
that of the plaintiff's business as was
possible, considering the use of the same
surname; second, that the defendants had
taken every reasonable precaution to pre-
vent confusion of the two firms and to
avoid infringing on the rights of the older
one; and, third, that the plaintiff had been
at least partially responsible for any con-
fusion that may have existed, since he had
opened a branch shop only a few doors
from the new establishment shortly after
the latter started in business.

Dorchester, Mass., to Have Rose
Garden

Plans for the proposed $100,000 Rose
garden at Franklin Park, have been com-
pleted and were presented to the mayor
by the park commissioners, of which
James A. Shea is chairman, and Arthur
A. Shurtleff, landscape architect.

Although only $35,000 of the income of
the Parkman fund is available this year,
the remainder, it is hoped, will be ob-
tained next year.

Of the so-called comic supplements of
the modern Sunday newspaper — the "fun-
nies" as the children term them, it may
be said (in the words of somebody) that
'for the people who like that sort of
thing, they are just the sort of thing
those people like.' " And so, when a car-
toonist on the Neto York Herald devoted
a page of the Dec. 3 issue to the experi-
ences of "Clarence" someone-or-other in
trying to "Say it with Flowers" only to
have his well meant gift sidetracked by
the latest bridge table gossip and his in-
tentions mistaken for suspicious "mush" —
why, we suppose, a certain number of
people found the humor that rather es-
caped us and, at all events, absorbed the
idea that a bunch of flowers is an appro-
priate thing to give the wife once in a
while, even so. Wherefore we can be
grateful for a little more publicity for
our business, and for a further proof of
the penetrating nature of our slogan. By
the way, may not the Herald's cartoonist
have gleaned his inspiration for this par-
ticular effort from the current series of
ads being run by the Allied Florists As-
sociation of New York?

A One Armed Florist

While many are deploring the reckless-
ness of auto drivers and their careless-
ness in running into other machines, the
people of West Allis, Wis., stop and
wonder how George Chamberlain, who re-
cently opened a flower shop on Garfield
ave can drive his bus with but one arm.

George lost his left arm while in the
employment of a railroad ten years ago,
yet for the past eight years, he has been
driving a gear-shift automobile. During
that time he has never had an accident.
When asked how he did it, George re-
marked, "Why ahere are hundreds of
young fellows who do the same thing
night after night." J, M.

You receive for your money: —

The Fruits of Fifty Years

— in plain words, Fritz Bahr gives
you the results of his each year's experience at ten cents the year.

Just on this matter-of-fact basis, without further reference to the quality of the book,
isn't it the biggest bargain ever?

It is the book for practical men — written by one of

His Language

The Author writes °* w^at ne nas done ant^ knows

— not what he guesses or what others

have told him. He is old enough to be able to compare the
old-time methods with those of today, retain all that is
good of the former, and show the value of all that is best
of the latter.

is simple, clear, easily read and
understood, and enjoyed, too. None
of your text book style — it is like having Fritz Bahr talking
to you across a table in his fatherly, inspirational, informa-
tional style.

The Book 's absolutely new from cover to cover, thus

taking the place of earlier books which

treated some of the same topics but that are now out of
print or out of date, and supplying a lot of material that
even they never contained. The illustrations were se-
lected especially to add to and help explain the text. (Quite
a number of them were taken specially for the book.)
The captions were written (also by Fritz Bahr) with the
same object in view; they are real, generous, descriptive
comments; postscripts to the text, so to speak. The material
is arranged, classified and indexed (both text and pictures)
so as to make every subject clear and easy to locate.

The Cultural Directions f°r the m°re than 59°

plants discussed in

Part II are wholly practical and usable. There are no long
botanical historical or otherwise scientific articles — the book
is all real "meat" from beginning to end. Every plant
under consideration is, first and foremost, of practical
commercial value. No subject dealt with lacks the main
essential — sales value — either as a plant or cut flower.
Botanical curiosities are rigidly ignored.

EverV Comment ma<^e on tne book (and there have

— been many), whether by grower,

specialist, instructor, retailer or other member of the trade,
has been an enthusiastic endorsement. This is the ultimate
test. Nearly 500 copies were ordered before the book was
off the presses — convincing testimony to the strength of
the author's standing and popularity. Not a copy so ordered
has been returned as unsatisfactory or not up to expec-
tations.

The Price $5 . 00 1S on^y tnat °f a small bunch

- or box of flowers; it could be

paid out of the net profits of a very few average sales. In
the hands of a live, energetic grower the book is the soundest
kind of an investment, sure to bring big returns.

Whether you are a newcomer in the business wondering how to get started, or an experienced
"old-timer" desirous of expanding, branching out and making the business more profitable,
Fritz Bahr's "Commercial Floriculture" is full of answers to the questions that bother you most.

"JAY EM" says:

fl-n Ancient and Honorable Occupation

Two men were out for a walk one
day, and they commenced a discus-
sion as to what was the best employ-
ment to which to put their sons.

"I had been thinking1 of putting- my
boy into the motor works," confessed
Robinson.

"I think I shall let my son become
a gardener," said Hughes quietly.

"A gardener!" retorted Robinson,
falling into the trap. "Why ever a
gardener?"

"Because a gardener runs his own
mint, sets his own thyme, and raises
his Celery every year."

And they walked on for miles and
miles in silence.

CARE IN CHOOSING VARIETIES. — Many varieties of this type have been introduced within the past year or two, numerous of which have
little or no merit. Supplying as we do many of the largest Sweet Pea growers in this country, we spare no effort to ascertain the best commercial
varieties, all of which are given a thorough trial as to their "Florists Value" before being offered to the trade.

The Market

Tuesday, Dee. 5. — Our last week's
review covered the sales of cut flowers at
wholesale for Thanksgiving and regular
use through Tuesday, the 28th. On Wed-
nesday, the 29th, there was a moderately
active demand and prices of Tuesday were
fairly well maintained in the morning.
From Wednesday noon on, including
Wednesday night when many of the whole-
sale stores were open up to 10 o'clock until
Thursday at 1 p.m. when the wholesalers
closed their stores, the demand was
small and prices tended to weaken, as
buying was spasmodic. Long stemmed
Roses throughout the pre-Thanksgiving
Day sales and also on that day met with
a slow demand, but medium to low grade
Roses cleaned up well at firm prices.
Mums were the dominant flower in
Thanksgiving sales. The demand was
heavy and prices firm up to Wednesday
noon at least. The verdict of the whole-
salers is that business consequent on
Thanksgiving Day was on the whole fair-
ly satisfactory.

On Friday and Saturday of last week
the arrivals of flowers were light and the
demand on those days was fairly active,
which would indicate that the retail flo-
rists had cleaned up pretty closely the
stock of flowers which they bought for
Thanksgiving sales. On Monday of this
week the arrivals were a little larger and
the demand somewhat slower. Today,
Tuesday, the arrivals of flowers are larger
than they have been at any time since the
same day of last week, the supply of
long-stemmed Roses being particularly
heavy. The demand today in general is

rather weak and prices are not as firm
and, on such items as are in abundant
supply, prices begin to show a decline.

American Beauty Roses show a heavier
supply and a weaker demand at prices
ranging from 5c. to 60c. covering all
grades, the price of specials being from
25c. to 60c, with occasional small sales
of choice selections at 75c. Top grade
blooms of other Roses are in large sup-
ply and are moving slowly at 8c. to 15e. in
general, but Hadley and Key of that grade
are realizing 35c. and 40c. The demand
for No. 2 grade Roses and for No. 1 also
is large and steady, but with a tendency
to lower prices, No. 2 grades selling at
this time at $4 to $6 a hundred.

Carnations are not in large supply, and
as the demand is absorbing the supply,
prices are fairly firm at $4 to $8 per
100.

The arrivals of Cattleyas are quite
small. Blooms of the variety Percivaliana
are selling at from 35c. to §1 each and
those of Labiata and Triana? at $1.50 to
$2 each, while some choice hybrids are
realizing $2 to $2.50. The demand is ab-
sorbing the supply. Cypripediums of the
insigne variety are bringing $3 and those
of other choicer varieties $4 to $5 per
doz.

There is now coming into the market a
considerable supply of sprays of Vandas,
Oncidiums and Cymbidiums of fine qual-
ity. Gardenias are in little larger sup-
ply and some of the smaller blooms are
selling at $2 a dozen or less, but those of
quality are still commanding a price of
$3 to $6 per doz.

The moderate supply of Lily of the Val-
ley is moving out fairly well at $4 to
$S per 100; white Lilies go at $15 to $20
and rubrums at $8 to $15 per 100.

Arrivals of Chrysanthemums, which are
still a large factor in the market, are
considerably smaller. They are meeting

Indoor greens of all kinds are mov-
ing fairly well, although there is some
complaint as regards a smaller demand for
Asparagus. Outdoor greens of all kinds
are in heavy demand and arriving in large
quantities to be made up into wreaths

use. Christmas trees also are beginning
to appear in the market.

jolly and most eujoyable evening was
spent, lasting up to 12 o'clock midnight.
There were very good diuner and refresh-

songs, good stories, and a good time gen-
erally, with good attendance except for
some absentees among older members.
The younger new and active life was
represented strongly. The several speeches
contained much good advice.

Dec. 5. — Thanksgiving trade was
erratic; with some it was extra good, but
in a general way, it will go on record as
being highly satisfactory. There was a
large amount of stock moved but prices
were low or the volume of business trans-
acted would have run into much larger
figures. There was an abundance of stock
and slightly in advance of the demand
which held prices down. The shipping
trade was heavy Monday and Tuesday,
but no larger than on former occasions.
The trade elsewhere had considerable
stock in 'Mums on hand and did not have
to buy as freely as on other holidays
when the smaller town florists had less in
their greenhouses. The local buying was
better and some of the retailers report
splendid business while a few complain.
Had there not been such a large supply
of stock on the market and a better clean-
up accomplished, the aspect would be dif-
ferent. When on such occasions consid-
erable stock remains in the ice boxes of
the dealers, no matter how good the busi-
ness may be, there are those who say it
could have been better.

The market for the present week opened
well. The shipping trade was brisk and
the local men were on the market early
making liberal purchases. There is still
plenty of everything with a fair amount
of Chrysanthemums still holding on. It
will not be until these are all gone that
better prices for Roses and Carnations
will be obtained. The retailers use them
in work and for decorative purposes as
long as they are to be had. as they are
more profitable to handle than any other
stock offered at this time.

The supply of Roses is good and there
is plenty for all demands. Short stock
is selling at $3 per 100 and then all the
way up to $25 and $30 for extra fancy
grades. The supply of Carnations is
good and the quality rapidly assuming
the high mark of the season. Prices
range from $2 to $5 per 100.

Sweet Peas are the only item that are
short of the demand; all good stock finds a
ready market at $3 per 100. Violets are,
as yet, not in popular demand, although
the market is fairly well supplied with
doubles from the Hudson river section
and singles from California. There are,
of course, some locally grown singles as
well. Orchids are rather scarce; a strong-
er demand could not well be taken care
of. Valley remains about the same, just
enough and no more with a standard price
of $8 per 100 for the best. There are not
so many Lilies as there were a few weeks
ago; the growers steer shy of the Chrys-
anthemum season on these. There are
some Callas and Paperwhites are more
plentiful. These will be a strong factor
on the market from now on through the
holidays.

Poinsettias are looked for by Dec. 10.
The supply of greens is large and wide in
point of variety. Boxwood is much sought
for at 35c. per pound and in bags of 50

tions, Sweet Peas, Lily of the

pounds can be had at 25c. The first of the
bronze Galax is in. Ferns are now $4
per 1000 all over the market, eastern
growers recently advancing them to $3.
It is estimated the cost per 1000 on
ferns from the eastern market varies from
45e. to 65c. per 1000 according to the
size. If the local dealers therefore lose a
portion, from one cause or another, their
profit is easily wiped out. There is
plenty of Wild Smilax in storage, also
Winterberries. The first sample lot of
Mistletoe is seen.

News Notes

Bob Simmons of the LaSalle Flower
Shop, La Salle, 111., is in the city hav-
ing come here to do his Christmas shop-
ping.

Guy French of the American Bulb Co.,
who has been on the Pacific Coast for the
past few months, returned to the city
on Monday. He said he made it a point
to get here for "Poehlmann Day" at Mor-
ton Grove, Thursday.

Allie Zech of Zech & Mann reports a
satisfactory Thanksgiving trade. He says
there were more 'Mums on the market ,
this year for Thanksgiving than ever
before. Very fine for the 'Mum grow-
ers, but not so good for the Rose and
Carnation men-
Alois Frey arrived from California the
past week on his annual inspection trip
to his greenhouses at Crown Point, Ind.
He has been sending from his greenhouses
some fine Carnations to this market. The
colored Freesias will soon be ready for
cutting.

B. W. Murphy of the Stuppy Floral
Co., St. Joseph, Mo., writes he will be
here for "Poehlmann Day" with an exhi-
bition of Annie Laurie Roses.

August Lange states he had a good
Thanksgiving trade, but no better than he
had in other years.

The municipal and county judges elected
to office Nov. 7 were all duly inducted to
their seats in the county building Mon-
day. There was a large number of elab-
orate floral pieces presented to the vari-
ous judges as they took their seats. The
county building took on the appearance
of a flower show for the time being. One
retailer said he would sooner have another
day like that than a dozen Thanksgivings.
The D. Hill Nursery Co., Dundee,
111., is sending to the market samples of
Norway Spruce in the smaller sizes for
Christmas trees. These are called baby
Christmas trees, and are furnished on an
attractive holder painted green and fresh-
ly cut, so as to De in the best possible
condition for Christmas. These can also
be furnished with roots if desired, pro-
viding the order is placed in time to
have them dug for shipping. In such
eases no holders are furnished.

E. C. Pruner, representing the Poehl-
mann Bros. Co., writes that he will be
here for Poehlmann Day, at Morton
Grove, Dec. 7. Mr. Pruner has had a
successful year on the road and will not
go out again until after the holidays.

The Ove Gnatt Co. is finishing up a
splendid year of business. It has had a
clean up on all holiday material, the
salesmen all coming in until after the
holidays. The factory is running over-
time getting out goods in all staple lines
of stock for after the holiday trade.

The Illinois State Florists' Association
is mailing a circular letter to all members
notifying them of the change in the By-
Laws that were amended at the last regu-
lar meeting, which included the increase
in the dues of its membership. The in-
crease is from $1 to $3 annual member-
ship, which takes effect Jan. 1, 1923. Life
membership is $10. A flower show at
Danville in 1923 is contemplated.

Henry Wherman, Maywood, is sending
to the E. C. Amling Co. a bright yellow
Pompon Chrysanthemum disseminated by
the University of Illinois some years ago.
It has become quite popular with the re-
tailers and is being especially called for
by critical buyers. It is described by Mr.
Wehrman and others who have seen it as
a healthy grower and good shipper, pro-
ducing no blind wood or underbrush. It
is a bright, clear color, reaching the acme
of perfection in color and finish in the
Button type. It is named Varsity on ac-
count of origin. Mr. Wehrman is propa-
gating this on a large scale- for Spring
trade.

Cheer Monday, with its slogan, "Wear a
smile, wear a flower and be cheerful,"
is rapidly coming; to the front as a day of
flower selling. The Chicago Daily Tribune
and Herald Examiner had notices in the
Monday morning editions. In part these
notices read:

" 'Cheer Monday,' with its slogan of
'wear a smile, wear a flower and be cheer-
ful,' will be taken up today by banks
throughout the city, as well as large busi-
ness houses and commercial organiza-
tions."

Then followed a list of the banks and
business firms which were distributing
flowers among their employees and
patrons. The notice was given the usual
bold headlines.

As this issue goes to press, the Chicago
Florists Club and the Commercial Grow-
ers Association, are having a good time
at Morton Grove, 111., Thursday, Dec. 7,
being Poehlmann Day there. From one
to 4.45 p.m. inspection of the Poehlmann
greenhouses was in order. At five o'clock
the guests were to convene at Lincoln
Tavern to listen to an address of wel-
come, and from 5.15 to 7 p.m. the time
was to be given over to refreshments.
At 7 o'clock both societies were to start
their meetings, the feature of the Chi-
cago Florists Club's session being the an-
nual election of officers.

The immense crowds which attended
the Garfield Park Chrysanthemum ex-
hibition would indicate that Chicago is
ready for another flower show elsewhere
than the municipal parks. The shows
have had a wonderful attendance, both at
the Garfield Park as well as at Lincoln
Park conservatories. At these exhibitions
single stem plants were a feature. The
bush plants were not generally so well
done as the single stems. There is, how-
ever, a feature at these Municipal shows
that is not seen at other Chrysanthemum
shows, not even at the exhibition of the
C. S. A. These are the wonderful hanging
baskets of Single Chrysanthemums that
are suspended above the other displays,
and enhance their beauty in a manner
never equaled at any outside exhibitions.
These baskets are mammoth globes of
single flowered varieties, many of which
are seedlings raised in the greenhouses,
and are to be seen in pink, white and
yellow. These baskets are fully 4ft. in
diameter, the growth being so dense as to
hide the basket completely. The over-
head space in the conservatories is just
as resplendent with these baskets as is
the exhibit below. It is probable one
may find as good single stem plants and
bush plants in other exhibitions, but
nowhere has the writer ever seen any-
thing as truly meritorious as the hanging
baskets to be seen at the Municipal ex-
hibitions of the Chicago parks. The
C. S. A. should make a note of this and
have a class for these at all forthcoming
exhibitions.

News Gleanings

The Market

Dec. 3. — Last week, and in particu-
lar, Wednesday, found stock moving free-
ly. Nearly all the florists are more than
pleased with the Thanksgiving business.
The exceptions rather overloaded on
Chrysanthemums.

The wholesale market wras erratic all
week — completely sold out one day, loaded
the next.

Chrysanthemums made as high as $12
per' doz. for the best, but $6 and $8
samples were most popular. Pompons sold
well and cleaned up better than in former
years. Chadwick, Bonnaffon and Golden
Wedding were the best of the large 'Mums.
Plenty of fine Roses were to be had at
12c. to 20c, with American Beauty at 18c.
to 50c.

Boses of good quality are now plentiful,
varying from 4c. for the short to 18c.
for the long. Premiers are by far the
best. This week some extra long Co-
lumbia are to be had at 14c. and 16c.
Russell is a little off this week, especially
the foliage.

Carnations are scarce, and in some cases
wholesalers asked 7c, but they are now
down to $5 and $6 per 100. Stems and
color! are wonderful. Valley is. to be had
at from 6c to 8c, but the demand is
limited. Orchids have almost entirely
disappeared, but Sweet Peas are beginning
to show up. It will be another two weeks
before the crop will be heavy. Narcissi
at 8c are plentiful, but the quality is
only fair. The sale of Narcissus bulbs has
been somewhat limited this Fall

Calendulas are very plentiful at 4c. and
5c. Callas are scarce at $3 per doz.
Cyclamen plants are plentiful at all the
shops.

News Notes

Fire of unknown origin destroyed
the Valley Sweet Shop and caused a scare
in the L. Henderson flower store, although
it caused no loss to Mr. Henderson.

Grover C. May has informed the Omaha
Florists Club that as secretary of Ne-
braska State Florists Association he
wants the' State meeting to be held in
Lincoln again this year, about Jan. 3 or
i. I. Frey intends to put on a floral
exhibit or competition at that time, and
deems it advisable that we all meet in
Lincoln.

Growers all feel proud of the Rose crop
and Cyclamen they are going to put on the
market this Christmas. T. E. Evans.

The Market

Dec. 5. — The old saying : "Short
hair is soon combed" expresses the situa-
tion in the wholesale flower market to-
day. Arrivals of any sort of stock are
much less than a week ago, so also is the
demand and therefore the balance is kept
even and prices hold reasonably firm. A
small oversupply in any line would break
the price at once.

Roses are of good quality, selling for
6c. up for 9in. to 16c. for 21in. for com-
mon sorts. Hadley, Crusader, Russell
and Premier start at Sc. Short Roses
of every variety are in best demand.

The supply of Carnations tends toward
oversupply, on which account the top
price of 6c. is not always easy to be got.
The very best Laddie, Maine Sunshine
and others of this class, reach 10c, some-
times, but Se. is taken. The demand for
Carnations is not exactly what it should
be at this time.

The public seems to have gone back
on Chrysanthemums, for although a great
reduction has taken place in the arrivals,
it is some job to dispose of 'Mums un-
less they are above ordinary quality. If
really good they will bring $3 per doz.
for Bonnaffon. Some fine white and yel-
low Chadwicks today had no trouble in
making $4.

White Lilies are now offered regularly,
finding a rather meager demand, although
better than a short while ago. Callas,
too, are not so scarce. Paperwhites are
coming in more freely, but are badly neg-
lected by the trade. The demand for Lily
of the Valley is spasmodic, with prime
flowers selling up to 10c, in some in-
stances.

Sweet Peas are fair to good, and meet
with a moderate sale at around 3e. Vio-
let have come down to $1.50 to $1.75,
eve. v though only very few are coming in
the market. Pansies, Calendulas, Dais-
ies, Bachelor Buttons and other minor
flowers are in sufficient supply and sell
as usual. Some Wallflowers and a little
Mignonette can be found ; also a fair
amount of Bouvardia, which latter sells
well.

Cattleyas are more plentiful, especially
Trianse and Percivaliana. There are some
Odontoglossums, Phalaenopsis and plenty
of Cypripediums insigne, Maudise, San-
derse and hybrids. Oncidium spendidum
is promised for -next week. Gardenias
are scarce and high in price.

Asparagus plumosa and Sprengeri, also
hardy ferns, berries and Boxwood can
be had in any quantity ; the latter is
mostly of a good grade. Berried Holly
is little seen, so far.

Thanksgiving Notes

Thanksgiving Day trade in Boston,
while not startling, was satisfactory. The
weather, the day before and during the
holiday, left nothing to be desired, except
to those who might have wished for snow
and a wintry aspect, as used to be the
accepted rule for Thanksgiving Day. But
we did without it and never missedi it
either. The wholesale market was sup-
plied with an abundance of flowers of
every kind, excepting Violets. Of these
very few were offered, and at that they
met with little demand, bringing around
$2 per 100. Good Chrysanthemums, es-
pecially Bonnaffon, were snapped up on
sight, at $3 and over per doz. They were
the flower mostly asked for. There were
any number of mediocre and poor samples,
and of these a great part remained unsold.
Quality 'Mums brought good money, up to
$6 per doz. Singles and Pompons did well,
selling as high as $1.25 and even $1.50
per bunch for the best.

The Carnation men met with disappoint-
ment; they expected to get at least 8c.
the day before the holiday. It didn't
work out that way, for 7c. was the rule
for good, fresh flowers on Wednesday. Of
course, some extra good lots brought 8c,
and Laddie and Maine Sunshine went to
10c, and in a few instances to 12c On
Thursday morning it was little trouble to
buy Carnations for 6c and even less. At
that there was no unusual supply, rather
the contrary; there was simply no de-
mand.

Roses did not advance in price for the
holiday either. Although the supply was
only medium, the price held a little below
lc per inch for ordinary sorts. Reds
were rather scarce and stood from lc. to
3c. higher per inch. Lengths over 15in.

had hard sledding and had to stand a good
deal of slashing. Stevia sold out clean at
50c per bunch. Not many Sweet Peas
were offered, nor was there any demand
for them. All the other flowers were in
regular supply and demand.

News Notes

E. B. Belcher has opened a hand-
somely appointed florist store on Crest
ave., Wintnrop Highlands.

Jas. Welch, Dorchester, is erecting a
new greenhouse.

J. Barney Baksis, at Wollrath & Sons,
Waltham, has developed into quite some
speed artist since he has mastered his
new Indian Scout motorcycle. Swish! he's
gone, leaving a hole in the air; at least
that is the way it looks.

One year ago, Nov. 26, the great ice
storm was at its height in eastern Massa-
chusetts. It continued into the early
hours of Nov. 30, and left indescribable
devastation behind it, the evidences of
which are now again visible since the
leaves have gone from the trees.

Ninety-two and Lively

The pleasure of eating one's Thanks-
giving dinner in the midst of relatives
who represent four generations is given
to comparatively few florists. For our
friend Jerry K. Chandler of Tewksbury,
the Thanksgiving feast was a memorable
event, on account of having with him at
the festive* board his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Catherina Smith, aged 92 years, who was,
let me whisper it, a sight more lively than
old Jerry himself. The grand old lady
can give or take a joke as well as any-
body, and when the phonograph is playing,
it is always the; lively pieces she is wait-
ing for. And while about it she could
also do a foxtrot or a schottische. Only
a year or so ago she got up into the
trees and picked Cherries. Her daughter,
Mrs. J. K. Chandler, had a merry time
trying to hold her on from helping with
the dishes. Louis Smith, the well known
florist of Tewksbury, is a son of Mrs.
Smith. Then there was Jerry's son
William, who is in business with his
father and brothers, and, last but not
least, the 15-year old granda'ughter, Miss
Mildred Irvin, whose father, M. Irvin, is
manager of the C. A. Backer greenhouses
at Billerica.

Max Lakin, proprietor of Johnson's
Flower Store, Qumcy, Mass., reports thriv-
ing business ever since he took hold of
the store, about a year ago. His decora-
tions, in the First Parish Church, for the
Rice-Sears wedding, on Nov. 15, were the
talk of the town.

John J. O'Brien, on Beacon st., has
greatly enlarged his staff in the store and
office. Business has been, and is now, ex-
ceedingly brisk, and a most attractive dis-
play is always kept up in the many large
windows fronting on Beacon and Charles
sts. Charley Kerrigan, long employed at
Penn's, is now a member of the sales
force at J. J. O'Brien's.

The refrigerating plant, installed by the
Johns-Manville Co., in the store of
Houghton-Gorney, under the Park St.
Church, is giving good satisfaction, al-
though taking up very little room.

That the florist trade of Boston is
always ready to alleviate the sufferings
or wants of its members or friends, was
handsomely illustrated one day last week,
when a very substantial sum was con-
tributed to the relief of the family of the
late well-known florist, S. McDonald. Mis-
fortune seems to have perched for some
time on the threshold of the unhappy
family, since the death of its protector.
First, Mrs. McDonald became the victim
of a shock which left her lame and help-
less, and now her son Arthur, who is the
sole support, fell a short time ago, break-
ing his leg in three places. Old Mr.
McDonald was one of the pioneers in the
florist business, and during the last 40
years had helped many an ambitious
young man in his line. The subscription
started off with the donation of $25 from
the head of one of the wholesale houses,
and every one asked to contribute did his
full share.

John McFarland of North Easton is
mourning the loss of his mother, who died
suddenly of heart failure, at her home, on
Tuesday, Nov. 21. She was buried in
Unity Cemetery, North Easton, on Nov.
25, her son being the sole survivor.

Mayor Curley is endeavoring to ascer-
tain whether a great saving in cost of
fuel for the municipal buildings of that
city cannot be brought about through the
substitution of oil for coal. Boston con-
sumes some 160,000 tons of coal a year

at an expense at present cost of $1,800,000
annually. Thirty-five of the city's build-
ings have had oil burning apparatus in-
stalled to date. If Mayor Curley can suc-
ceed in his endeavors to make the substi-
tution, he expects to be able to save the
city about $500,000 a year.

Local Embargo Threatened

According to the Department of
Agriculture, infestations of the European
Corn borer have been found in Leomin-
ster, Clinton, Harvard, Hudson, Lancas-
ter, Marlboro, Southboro, Westboro,
Westminster and Worcester. In order
to prevent the spread of the dangerous
insect which might result from the un-
restricted movement of plants and plant
products, the State Department proposes
to issue an order prohibiting the expor-
tation of Corn (including all parts of the
stalk) Celery, Green Beans in the pod,
Beets with tops, Spinach, Rhubarb, Oat
and Rye straw, cut flowers of entire
plants of Chrysanthemum, Aster and
Dahlias from any of the cities and towns
specified. The department recently gave
a public hearing on the proposed order
at the State House. If such an embargo
becomes effective, it will mean the loss
of thousands of dollars in trade to the
producers within the prescribed area
since many shipments of the products
mentioned are made annually from these
cities and towns, especially Leominster,
to the Boston and New York markets.

The Wild Forgetmenot

A number of brooks about Worces-
ter have the wild Myosotis (Forgetmenot)
growing in their waters. It is not a na-
tive plant, but one of the foreigners
which, when given a chance, flourish in
the New England climate. However, it
is fussy in its selection of a living place,
the polluted stream having no attraction
for it. It might be said that the species
inhabits no waters where the brook trout
could not live.

This season has been peculiarly pro-
pitious to the spread of the plant, and
long reaches of water which a year ago
had never known it are now in the first
stages of becoming choked with the luxu-
riant growth which through the late Sum-
mer and Autumn is spangled with the
beautiful blue flowers. Probably the main
favoring condition was the abundance of
water in the brook beds over the ordinar-
ily dry Midsummer period.

One brook in particular shows that the
plant can travel up stream as well as
down. Since last Spring it has extended
up the brook where the water tumbles
tumultuously down a steepish hillside,
jumping from pool to pool, as it were,
over distances of at least 200 yards. Per-
haps the seed was carried by the wind,
but surely not by the hand of man.

This wild Myosotis thrives nicely in-
doors in Winter. Sometimes its growth
is too profuse, the stalks assuming vine-
like proportions; but it is always easy to
cut away, after which new growth re-
places the old. In rare cases it flowers
in the exotic surroundings of a fernery.

Bangor, Me.

During the past week weather condi-
tions have changed many times. The first
of the week we had cold weather fol-
lowed by snow. Thanksgiving dawned
bright and clear, and a much warmer day
than for a number of years past. On Fri-
day there was a definite change, being
cloudy in the morning, followed by heavy
rain in the afternoon. Saturday was
clear, but very cold, and a high wind
blew throughout the day. Sunday will be
fair and cold. Such has been the state of
the weather for the florists the past week,
and it did not bring a great volume of
business, especially in plants for home
decorating.

There has been a regular epidemic of
sudden deaths in this locality during the
past two weeks, claiming several very
prominent citizens. The demand for flow-
ers has been heavy.

The first Dutch salesman of the season,
P. den Hartog of Hartog & Wyntjes, Ley-
den, Holland, arrived in town Friday to
call on the trade. It is often difficult to
understand the Dutchmen in their pro-
nunciation, and when he introduced him-
self to the writer it sounded as if he
said: "I am damn hard up." He was
promptly told that he had come to the

wrong place. He showed me a telegram
dated in 1914, received while at the U. S.
Hotel at Boston. He said that shortly
before he had introduced himself to a
man who later became a fast friend, this
man mistaking the name as I did. He had
occasion' to wire Mr. Hartog at the U. S.
Hotel and as soon as the telegram arrived
a negro waiter was dispatched to find the
party to whom it was addressed. Mr.
Hartog said that he was in the dining
room at the time and came to the realiza-
tion that the negro was approaching the
dining room calling out, "Telegram for
Mr. Damn Hardup." Everyone was look-
ing about to see who the owner of the
telegram was. When the waiter ap-
proached Mr. Hartog, he told him that
the telegram must be for him — and it
was — addressed Peter Den Hardup, signed
by Cbas. Morey at Woonsocket, Rhode
Island. Mr. Hartog says that _ he is

livered to Bangor, and 98,264 tons of soft
coal. This coal came by water, and be-
fore the river closes, considerable more
is expected to be unloaded from ships
scheduled for this port. We can face
the coming Winter without fear of going
cold for want; of fuel for homes, factories
or our greenhouses and hope others

The Market

Dec. 4. — Thanksgiving business was
excellent, and if we can gauge Christmas
trade with what was done last week, the
only difficulty will be in getting enough
stock. With few exceptions, every
one, whether grower, wholesaler or re-
tailer, will show a nice increase over last
year, provided he had the stock to do it
with. The weather w_as ideal; Wednes-
day and Thursday were like Spring days;
in fact, Thursday afternoon showed a
temperature of about 60 degs., which is
unusual. There was not nearly as much
stock on the market this year as last, but
the prices realized were larger and many
more large 'Mums of the $6 to $12 per
doz. type (wholesale) could have been
sold. 'Mums and Pompons were, of course,
the headliners with Bonnaffon the favor-
ite among the 'Mums. Other varieties
included Yellow and White Chadwick,
White Eaton, Seidewitz, Dr. Enguehart,
Golden Wedding, Yellow and White Jones
and Maud Dean. Pompons moved well and
by Thursday noon there were none to be
had at any of the wholesale houses. Roses
came next with a cleanup of everything
The supply of white Roses would not take
care of the demand, due to the many
Thanksgiving weddings. Carnations were
also good property, with $6 per 100 the
top price for the best stock, with the
exception of Laddie, which realized $10
per 100. Valley also sold well with
plenty to supply everyone. The supply of
Lilies was small, which caused them to
clean up at top price. Many more or-
chids could have been sold had they been
obtainable. Sweet Peas did not move
well and the demand for them will not
come before Christmas. Calendula, Mig-

nonette and Stevia all sold well at good
prices. The supply of greens fell far
short of the demand, due to the fact that
the Thanksgiving shipments from the
South all arrived two days late, not be-
ing delivered until Friday morning.

In summing up the November business,
we find that it will show a healthy in-
crease over last year and will also show
a gain over that of 1920.

Dec. 5. — The most important change
during the last week was in price. The
day before Thanksgiving saw a substan-
tial rise all around the list. For instance,
Pompons were as high as $1 a bunch for
the holiday. Monday Dec. 4 saw prices
decline a little, but Dec. 5 they were
stabilized at about the figures given in
the accompanying table — and at a rise
still quite considerable.

Retailers say that in spite of the rise
customers continue to buy as freely as
before. It was time for something to
happen to prices. Pompons are lessening
and Chrysanthemums will be through as
a factor on the market within a week or
so. Weather is chill enough now to re-
quire the expense of much coal to grow
blooms.

Carnations — particularly Ward — are less
plentiful this w-eek. Shorter days grow
less blooms. The cloudy weather of last
week caused the Sweet Pea crop to shorten
again. Good buds require sunlight. Val-
ley ranges from 6c. to 8c. and is good
stock. The very short stuff on the New
York market has not yet found its way
down here, but prices are probably firm-
er in this market than in New York.

Short Roses, due to the season, are not
too plentiful. The growers are starting to
■cut their Christmas pinching and the cut
is generally long. Double Violets and
Lilac blooms made their appearance this
week for the first time.

Christmas Plants

Plenty of everything is the general
rule — but this year there is one notable
exception. Cyclamen, anywhere east of
Ohio, is liable to be scarce. In fact, every
indication is that there will not he
enough to go around.

This is not due to lack of foresight
among the growers so much as bad luck
during the growing season. One well
known grower suffered a complete loss of
some 10,000 plants through mite, and sev-
eral other growers suffered losses rang-
ing from 50 per cent to total

But the remainder of Christmas stock —
flowering and foliage plants generally —
seem to be plentiful and in good shape for
the holiday.

Market Notes

A tour of the market Dec. 4 re-
pealed some excellent Chrysanthemums at

Chas. E. Meekan's, including Mistletoe,
Intensity and white and light pink Seide-
witz. Some Thanksgiving Pink at Eugene
Bernheimer's was well worth notice. Pa-
perwhites and Valley at Jack Deutscher's
were commented on by several. George
Aeugle's Peas are keeping up to his high
standard on this bloom.

Several changes in the Independent
baseball team will be noticed next playing
season. Captain Stuart Miller is now
with William McKissick at Baltimore,
and Outfielder George Cook is now with
the Leo Niessen Co.

The Evergreen Supply Co. continues to
show novelties either entirely new, or else
not heard of for years. The latest is
White Desert Holly, from New Mexico.
Martin Gannon reports it as very popu-
lar for wreaths.

Godfrey Aschmann reports the retail-
ers not holding off, as usual, but actually
getting their orders in early this year.
Business with this firm is quite up to ex-
pectations and a cleanup is hoped for.

The Leo Niessen Co. were getting in
some nice Cattleyas Dec. 4. The first Lilacs
of the season were noticed here and Mr.
Niessen informed us this specialty would
be available daily from now on.

Nearly every wholesaler has some kind
of wreath specialty for the holiday sea-
son.

Jack Deutscher reports good business —
with old and new customers, in spite of
his shortage of assistants.

Retailers

Harry Jones of Habermehl's Belle-
vue-Stratford store says the Thanksgiving
Day game was fine business and he sold
more Violets than for the Army-Navy af-
fair.

T. Nielson Geiger reported excellent
Thanksgiving business.

Bill Crawford was busy before the holi-
day— after the holiday — and even on the
holiday, so there are no kicks from this
quarter.

Pv,eeent visitors at J. G. Neidinger's
were Mr. and Mrs. Gude, Jr., Washington
D. C; Mr. White of White, Inc., Wash-
ington, D. C.j Mr. Schell, Mt. Carmel,
Pa.: and Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Giles,
Reading, Pa.

Craig's Christmas Coueism

Harrisbukg, Pa. — A nursery is to be
established at the State penitentiary in
Center County, where the prisoners are to
be taught forestry and gardening.

"Every day in every way we are grow-
ing better and better," sings Robert
Craig — in ardent apostolicism of the emi-
nent Coue. Such is the force of conscious
auto-suggestion that — but you will laugh
if we confess our belief in the matter!
Have plants minds? Impossible. And
yet it almost seems as though they re-
peated the slogan to themselves every
morning, and improved accordingly.

In other words, the establishment of
the Robert Craig Co., Norwood, Pa., is
white and clean and uptodate and full of
strong, clean stock. That is the first impres-
sion you get — and the last in our particular
case.

The Cyclamen houses are, perhaps, of
most interest, considering the near ap-
proach to Christmas sales. There were
three of them when we called — late No-
vember. One filled with 7in and 8in.
stock — fine specimen plants. The house
is a blaze of red and white and pink, with
the green undertone of leaves. Mr. Craig
remarked that two of the six benches
were already sold. Another house was
devoted to 6in. plants, with bare spaces
on the benches, where Christmas buyers
had visited thus early. The third house
contains 5in. and 6in. pots, with 25,000
Lilies potted up under the benches for
Easter. No space is wasted.

Another Christmassy touch is two
houses of Poinsettias coming along in fine
shape. They range in all sizes from 3in.

Eots to large specimen plants. Some cut
ower plants — two benches of them — look
unusually promising and were expected to •
average 18in. to 24in. heads by Christmas.

Exceptional Stock

A house of Begonias — mainly B. melior
— with some concurrent and Cincinnati,
was a glow of pink. There were a few
Teddy Junior Ferns in 6in. pots in addi-
tion. In another house were a block of
4in. Begonias, a bench of Gardenias and
two benches of Cherries. Another house
held Dwarf Otaheite Oranges in all sizes —
this particular lot for next year's sales —
with Gardenias under the benches, and
one bench of Azalea Hinodigiri. The
Gardenias for Christmas were well set
in 6in. pots, with an average run of 12
to 20 buds per plant. This is exception-
ally good for pot grown stock. Mr. Craig
informed us he had been cutting blooms
for some time.

In one house we noticed a bench of
dwarf Otaheite Oranges in which as many
as 33 fruits had been counted on one 6in.
plant. The average runs from 12 to 25.

In another house we noticed a little
block of Belgian Azaleas, variety Mme.
Petrick, coming into bloom for Christmas.

And then the foliage plants. The
Dracaena section consists of two large
houses with the connecting wall removed.
Dracamas, Godseffiana, Warneckii, Mas-
sangeana, fragrans, Lord Wolseley, Kel-
leriana, terminalis, longii, Lindeni and
tricolor were available in quantity, as well
as other varieties in which stock) was
being worked up. Two houses of Crotons,
in all sizes from little plants for basket
work up to the big specimensj one of
the biggest blocks of Pandanus Veitchii
around; ferns in all varieties; pahns —
mainly Arecas — and a house of Erica
melanthera, as well as several houses de-
voted to stock getting ready for Easter
complete the main features of the estab-
lishment.

In one house the preparation of spe-
cially tied Roses is being pushed, in an-
ticipation of Easter demands, and Hy-
drangeas, Deutzias, etc., are under the
benches.

As Mecca to the Moslem, so is the
grower's establishment at Christmas to
the flower lover.

Philadelphia Florists Club

more than 90 attended the monthly flo-

appeal from Secretary Kift many retail-

or not it would be a paying bloom in
actual practice. Every indication, bow-
ever, was conceded to be in its favor.

Charles H. Totty followed Mr. Mann,
and on the same subject. He had grown
America at Madison, N. J., for some
time and said that never in all his years
of growing had he seen a Rose like it.
Wm. H. Duckham, also of Madison, fol-
lowed Mr. Totty, but as he put it, "My
friend Frank Traendly told me as we
were coming down on the train : 'Duck-
ham, you shut up and let me do the talk-
ing.' " So after a few words he left the
floor to Frank Traendly of New York.

Mr. Traendly spoke about the Whole-
sale Protective Association of New York
and the advantages accruing from that
system of credit handling. Arthur Nies-
sen, in the discussion following, referred
to the break up of a similar organization
in Philadelphia, in spite of the fact that
it had done a great deal of good.

The subject changed rather mysterious-
ly to comment and discussion as to how
far apart Roses should be grown in
benches. These two subjects collided for
a few minutes and finally the Roses won
out. Then John Andre was called on and
his first words suggested that a retailer
be asked to give opinion on the subject
of wholesale protective organization. He
spoke on Rose growing for a few minutes.
Frank Ross, well-known retailer, was
called on and was at some trouble to de-
cide whether he was to speak on Roses
or wholesale protective associations. He
finally made comment on Hill's Rose
America, which seemed to him to show
all the signs of a wonderful commercial
type.

Altogether the meeting was above the
average in every way — good attendance,
fine exhibits, and interesting addresses.

Retail Notes

Dec. 2. — Thanksgiving gave its
usual spurt to trade and all the store-
keepers reaped a harvest and are cor-
respondingly happy and optimistic. It
would be folly to state the increase in
percentages as this would eventually lead
one into the millions, but that there was
an increase over former years, all agree.
Chrysanthemums, of course, ruled the
day, but other flowers received their
share of demand and as Chrysanthemums
are cleaned up, save a few of the late va-
rieties, there is prospect of the general
demand taking good care of stock for the
balance of the month. Prices were in-
creased very lightly and this helped to
keep the buyers in good humor for fu-
ture trade.

Among the Growers

The month of November with its
bright sunshine and mild temperature,
brought many flowers into the market
that were timed for December. In con-
sequence of this the cut for this month
is going to be reduced, and if the law of
supply and demand works out, the re-
turns ought to be much better1 than they
were the past month.

E. P. Hostetter of Manheim had the
finest cut of Bonnaffon for Thanksgiving
even sent out of this county, both in
quality and quanity. Mr. Shue, who has
bought part of the place, has the banner
quality of Carnations for the county, the
kind that make the rest of us sit up and
take notice.

Our two big Rose growers are a bit
off crop just now, but will begin the lat-
ter part of the month to cut a crop timed
about right to come in when other grow-
ers are getting a short cut. This may
sound like real science in Rose growing,
but neither of them claim to be scientific
growers; they give the weather some
credit for the results.

News Items

Mrs. M. H. Hostetter has opened a
flower shop in Mauheim and if the crowd
which visited the shop on the opening
day is any indication of success, it is
assured.

B. F. Barr has been traveling East and
has at last arrived at Mecca. Between
this achievement and his wonderful trade
for Thanksgiving, he is wearing a con-
stant smile of content.

Mrs. Herr, J. Wade Galey and myself
spent a half hour with Mr. Utley in Har-
risburg Friday evening and while not in
the retail business, I wished every retail-
er in the United States could have heard

Mr. Utley's talk on retailing. Mr. Utley
is not only an artist in floral creations,
but equally an artist in satisfying his
customers, a combination that would in-
crease the floral trade 50 per cent if gen-
erally followed out.

The Tourists Again

Chas. M. Weaver, Enos Kohr, El-
mer Weaver and Albert M. Herr made a
flying trip to Chester County the past
week. The first stop was in Lancaster
County at our own Mr. Hess' of the Gap.
Here the usual supply of Carnations is
being grown with a fair crop promised
for the holidays. A house of 'Mums just
cut, is being filled with Snapdragon and
one bench of this is already cut.

From there to the Richardsons was a
few miles, but the machine soon got us
there and here we found Carnations in
abundance, the main crop being Ward and
Matchless, planted in July. Both plants
and flowers were clean, healthy and of
high quality. In order to save space,
this can be said of every Carnation grow-
er Ave visited. I have made trips over
this section before, but never found such
a uniformity of quality as on this occa-
sion. The Richardsons grow Supreme,
Thomas Joy, Laddie and White Delight,
the latter they consider one of the best
whites, but a bit hard to root and keep
up stock.

J. H. Thompson's was the next point of
contact and here we found what might be
termed a mechanically equipped plant to
produce Mushrooms and Roses, both be-
ing produced abundantly. Two houses of
Premier were exceptionally well set for
a holiday crop. Mr. Thompson has the
most completely equipped plant for the
production of manure water that we
ever saw, and a packing shed and office
along the same line. In addition to the
two houses of Premier there are houses
of Butterfly and Columbia, some of the
latter own root stock that has been in
action for three years and still looks good
for some years.

A little further on, we found Frank
Thompson and Harry Thompson, neigh-
bors, but separate establishments, planted
to Carnations, Matchless and Ward, with
smaller lots of others.

At Wm. Swayne's, house after house had
been stripped of Thanksgiving 'Mums,
both the large flowering and Pompons and
Mr. Swayne was well pleased with re-
sults. These houses will be planted with
Delphinium Belladonna and Snapdrag-
ons. Here were only two benches of Car-
nations, Theo for pink and White Per-
fection for white! It would have done Fred
Dorner's heart good to have seen that
bunch of White Perfection. A house and
part of a house devoted to Callas in pots,
every pot in bloom with 30in. stems, made
a sight to be remembered.

At Marshall Parker's we found several
large houses of Sweet Peas, good healthy
stock just coming into bloom, while
across the road at the Yeatman establish-
ment, Sweet Peas were planted in beds
prepared for Roses in several large houses.
The Roses will be planted as soon as
the Sweet Peas have passed their zenith.
The Rose houses are yielding a fair crop
and lots of blooms coming on. Mush-
rooms here are a feature, the same as at
the Thompson place and appear to be a
good companion crop, from a financial
point of view.

At Fred Carey's, Carnations are the
main feature with Ward, Matchless, Bea-
con, Maine Sunshine, Supreme, Aviator
and Laddie as the chief varieties. He
has Laddie one, two and three years old;
the three year old benches promise the
best crop of dollars. Frank Pyle has
Sweet Peas, Carnations and Mignonette
all in good shape, while Percy Bernard,
busy glazing a new house, has Carnations,
Sweet Peas and Calendula in the old
houses. He had the best Maine Sun-
shine we saw all day and Calendula, per-
haps not the best in America, but the
best we ever saw in any of our various
travels.

Ed. Marshall had house after house of
Carnations in great variety and not a
poor one; in fact, the best we had seen,
among them a dark pink seedling of his
own that has every promise of being a
winner. Judging from the amount of
bench space used for it, he has lots of
faith in it. It is not unusually large,
but it is of good size, with fine stems and
produces more flowers per sq. ft. than
anything else on the place. His Rose
houses are equally good. We had seen
some Mignonette in the trip but nothing

to compare to Mr. Marshall's house
where every plant was perfect and every
head top notch. Some plants, from his
own selection of seed, can only be des-
cribed as super-best, as all of the house
was best. He has a Dick Witterstaetter
room for keeping his cut flowers and I'll
predict that they keep for the ultimate
consumer.

The last stop was at Jim Brown's of
Coatsville. Here we found a fine lot of
Carnations that had been indoors all
Summer with better flowers and stems
than some brought from the field, but
lacking in the growth that means con-
tinuous production. A house of Pompons
was in the height of their glory, but a
house of Callas was in disgrace, as the
plants refused to produce; unless they
change their tactics very quickly they
will be thrown out on the cold, cold
world. Mr. and Mrs. Brown are both
recovering from that seasonable malady,
severe colds. .

Auburn, N. Y.

Dec. 2. — Funeral work was unusually
light Thanksgiving week, allowing flo-
rists to devote most of their time to a
satisfactory cut flower trade. Chrysan-
themums in all colors and sizes were first
in preference although Roses and Car-
nations went well after a period of
quietude.

Plant stock moved well, especially Cher-
ries, table ferns, Primroses and Cycla-
men. Excepting Thanksgiving trade to
date has been below normal. W. B.

Buffalo, N. Y.

The Market

Chrysanthemums have been a strong
factor, with quality and supply better than
last year; prices about the same. Roses
were in good supply. Lily of the Valley,
Carnations, Calendulas and Pompon
'Mums were good sellers. Cut flowers
were completely sold out before Thursday
noon. The retailers report satisfactory
sales.

In plants, Cyclamen, Begonias and
Cherries were in oversupply. Thanksgiv-
ing is more of a cut flower holiday, large
Chrysanthemums being in the lead. Plant
sales in general were slow. G. R.

Florists Near and Around Buffalo

Barney Meyers, superintendent of
Palmer's large range of glass in Lancaster,
N. Y., has started the growers into using
a well-known brand of fertilizer, manu-
factured in Buffalo — pulverized, dried
poultry manure — for Roses and Carna-
tions. A light top dressing every three
or four weeks gives best results, and to
produce good Carnations, mix ground rock
phosphate, half and half; some use a
little potash salts or wood ashes to create
fibre and keeping qualities of the flowers.
Some also apply a light dressing of lime
dust two weeks before applying the fer-
tilizer. Do not apply fertilizer and lime
at same time, as the lime will release the
ammonia or nitrates from the soil and
fertilizer too much, and thus the benefits
of the fertilizer will be lost. Mr. Meyers
has some good varieties of 'Mums, and
says October Queen (early white), Golden
Glory (early yellow) and Thanksgiving
Pink are promising. Pompons, New York
and Louis Davenport, both bronze, are
also good. For pot plant 'Mums, he pre-
fers Sunshine (brilliant yellow), Rose
Tervinia, White Nugget, Little Tot, Mrs.
F. Wilcox, Frank Wilcox, Jr., Yellow and
White Mensa, Cometo, Mariana, Fire
Bird and Zelia. This should be of inter-
est to those who want to grow this: class
of 'Mums.

C. T. Guenther, Hamburg, N. Y., origi-
nator of the two late Christmas Mums,
Hamburg Late Pink and White, has some
new sports of Columbia Rose, a white with
a pink tinge and a red. Both are promis-
ing. As a Rose grower Mr. Guenther dis-
proves the theory that in order to grow
Roses successfully one has to grow them
in very large houses.

Schwert & Berners, Forks, N. Y., Pelar-
gonium specialists and growers of pot
plants for Christmas ana Easter trade,
have a nice lot of Poinsettias and Begonia
Melior. They will propagate considerable
of the latter Begonia for the trade the
coming Spring, as the stock is clean and
free from the blight which is affecting
Christmas Begonias in certain sections.

Regarding cemetery trade at this time
of the year, Conrad Forbach, Pine Hill,
Buffalo, is making up a quantity of bou-
quets, consisting of artificial paper waxed

flowers, interspersed with ArborvitEe an<
red Ruseus. Mr., Forbach 's son, witl
Mrs. Forbach, at their new home an(
store in the Kensington section, are build
ing up a substantial trade, and in thi
near future expect to build on their othei
lots a range of glass. Their new Dodgt
delivery car is giving excellent service
Last season, Frank Weixelman, Ebene
zer, N. Y., had over 15,000 Baby Ramblei
Roses growing in pots for Easter, graftec
stock, and they went so fast he had onlj
half enough to fill orders. Joseph Strait,
one time grower for S. A. Anderson, and
now a successful grower in Detroit, Mich,,
was here to see the Roses in question, and
ordered 4000. Good heavy stock of Baby
Ramblers is hard to find, especially graft-
ed stock, which latter is necessary to
develop a pot plant full of branches to
make a snow for Easter sales. Mr.i
Weixelman will not handle own root stock,
as he says it spoils trade. This year he
is ordering nearly 40,000 to grow on for
the coming year, all grafted stock.

Thanksgiving Prices Hold

Thanksgiving Day prices held up
during the week following the holiday
owing largely to the shortage of stock
In many cases it has been found impos-
sible to fill orders for specified goods, par-
ticularly in the matter of varieties in
Roses. The retailers had to take almost
anything they could to fill out their or-
ders.

From all accounts the local retailers
were well satisfied with their Thanks-
giving Day business. There was a short-
age in many lines, particularly of Chrys-
anthemums, Roses and Orchids. It was
well-nigh impossible to get any Cattleya,
and were it not for shipments from
Northern points, of good Chrysanthe-
mums, the retailers would have indeed
been up against it. Roses cleaned up
quickly.

Generally speaking, prices were excel-
lent. American Beauty brought as high
as $12 per doz. and that price is still
being asked for a few specials, although
the retailers balk very much at that fig-
ure. Thanksgiving Day prices ranged
from $9 to $12, with a few to be had
at $7.50 per doz. This week the range is
from $7.50 to $9.

It is noticeable all along the line that
the top quotations of this week are some-
what lower than the holiday demands,
but the low prices and the averages are
pretty well parallel. For instance, Had-
ley and Legion brought from $12.50 to
$40 per 100, now they bring $12 to $30.
Double White Killarney ran $6 to $12;
now $6 to $10 per 100. Premier, Ophelia
and other Roses of that class sold for $S
to $20 per 100, and are now quoted at
from $S to $15.

Carnations this week are quoted at $8
per 100 with Laddie and fine Wards
bringing $10 and $12. These are the
holiday prices also. Lily of the Valley
holds the same old price, $8 per 100.
Sweet Peas have a wider range, being
priced all the way from $1.50 to $3 per
100, as against $2 to $3 late last week.
Local Chrysanthemums are at an end.
The warm Fall brought them to a close
quite some time in advance of the usual
date. Pompons have advanced in price,
the quotation being 50c. per bunch.

Everything looks lovely for Christmas.
It is believed that there will be a heavy
demand for flowers for gifts, although
some of the retailers have expressed the
thought that cut flowers will be in

greater demand than ever if the prices
on potted plants are put at too high
levels by the growers and wholesalers.
The bulk of the Thanksgiving Day busi-
ness was on cut flowers, although there
were quantities of made-up baskets, cor-
sages and other forms of floral make-up

News Notes

Among- the visitors in Philadel-
phia early in the week were Hardy
Pritchard and Granville Gude. The
former is manager of the store of Gude
Bros. Co. and the visit of the two in
Philadelphia was for the purpose of
looking over available stocks for the
Christmas trade.

The florists made a big showing on the
occasion of the Safety Week parade.
Among those who entered floats were
Gude Bros. Co., J. H. Small & Sons,
Z. D. Blackistone, George C. Shaffer and
White Inc.

A flower shop is to be opened in the
newly erected Hamilton Hotel, at Four-
teenth and K sts., N. W. by George N.
Prokos, who for some months has been
employed by Gude Bros. Co. At one time
he was manager for Z. D. Blackistone
and more recently has been employed in
Raleigh, N. C.

J. Harper Hetherington, formerly con-
nected with Z. D. Blackistone and the
Washington Floral Co. is now with Gude
Bros. Co.

George W. Hess, director of the United
States Botanic Gardens, went to Chicago
last week as a member of the delegation
of Congress designated to attend the fu-
neral of the late Representative Jame-4
K. Mann of Illinois. Director Hess was
in direct charge of the funeral pieces, in-
cluding a wreath sent by President and
Mrs. Harding. This was on a 2ft. frame
and was made of Palm leaves, Maiden-
hair Fern and red Radiance Roses. The
wreath was tied with ribbon matching
the Roses. It was one of the most at-
tractive pieces seen. The casket of Mr.
Mann rested in the House of Representa-
tives directly in front of the Speaker's
desk, at a point from which the deceased
had often addressed the House. He was
one of the real leaders of the lower
branch and his passing is indeed a loss,
politically and personally. He was a
great lover of flowers and had an unusual
knowledge of the subject of horticulture.
His own gardens were a matter of great
delight to him. He was an attendant at
the "national and local shows whenever it
was possible for him to get away from
his duties at the Capitol. He was fa-
miliar with varieties and names and of-
ten entertained not only the Congress-
men but growers with stories concerning
propagation and other features of trade
interest.

A total of $552.50 was collected from
licenses issued Washington florists dur-
ing the fiscal year ended June 30, last,
according to the annual report of the
Commissioners of the District of Colum-
bia. This was an increase of $21.25 over
the preceding year. Forty florists were
licensed, it is stated. C. L. L.

R. E. Moss, Vinita, Okla.

Starting in the florist business in
Yinita, 12 years ago, on a shoestring,
R. E. Moss has built a modern $15,000
plant, as shown in the accompanying illus-
tration, and has built up a business of
$12,000 per year, with 1000 customers in
four States. Not such a remarkable
achievement in itself, but remarkable in
the fact that for 13 years before his ven-
ture in business Mr. Moss had been an
instructor in literature in the Normal
School at Chillicothe, Mo., and had no
practical knowledge whatever of how to
operate a greenhouse. He took a cor-
respondence course in the business, how-
ever, from Cornell University, for two
years before launching into business for
himself, and on Aug. 27, 1910, with $1500,
which was all the money he could borrow,
he bought land and started a greenhouse.

The plant now covers about a quarter
of a block, and there are four green-
houses, with 12,000 sq. ft. of glass. The
heating plant recently installed is
equipped with an 80 horse. power Hawkes
water tube boiler, worth $2000, set in a
room with 12in. concrete walls. In the

basement is another heating plant, used
for more moderate weather, gas being
used in it. In the basement is also a dark
room, where various bulbs are forced.
One greenhouse is devoted to Lettuce and
Sweet Peas, another to Roses, a third to
Carnations, and another to Chrysanthe-
mums and potted stock.

Just recently a beautiful $8000 white
stucco office building was added to the
establishment.

Mr. Moss was born at Roeheport, Mo.
After completing his Normal course at
Chillicothe, Mo., he immediately took the
chair of literature there and continued in
that position for 13 years, with the ex-
ception of one year when he attended the
University of Missouri at Columbia.
Starting at 36 years of age, the florist
business is the only occupation he has
ever engaged in outside of teaching.

Samuel J. Goddard, Framingham, Mass.

It is always a pleasure to drop in at
the neatly kept and orderly establishment
of Samuel J. Goddard, at Framingham,
which is located on the main street, and
where a considerable retail business is
carried on, beside growing fancy Carna-
tions for the wholesale market. Besides
growing many diverse crops, and growing
them well, "Sam" has the habit of making

Carnations. The distinct, pure coloring
and the perfectly built form of some of
the newcomers leave nothing to be desired.
The rather narrow leaves and the size of
the flower, which is not exaggerated, are
points which always go with floriferous-
ness.

Surprise is identical in form and color
with Laddie, but in habit of growth it
is more dwarf and produces a much larger
and more continuous crop of flowers, al-
though these are, under ordinary circum-
stances, somewhat smaller than Laddie.
Suprise is easy of management, and roots
without trouble. Another seedling, un-
named as yet, shows wonderful style of
growth and stem, combined with a flower
of exceptionally fine form, good size and
of remarkably striking color. It is a glow-
ing begonia rose, according to Ridgeway's
color chart. This color is something ab-
solutely distinct from any in commerce,
and it should take well. Another seedling,
also perfect in form and habit of gowth,
is a genuine spectrum red (Ridgeway). It
is a beauty. A white of the same habit
and very free is exceedingly fragrant.
Then there is a grand crimson-maroon of
much promise. The visitor cannot help
observing the healthfulness and robust
character of these seedlings.

Other seedlings are Irene (No. 53), a fine

Establishment of R. E. Moss, Vinita, Okla. (See Text.

the visitor feel welcome. His handshake
and his friendly "take off your coat, old
man," together with his genuine readiness
to show the visitor all there is to see, and
to give a frank explanation of methods
used in growing this or that particular
crop, at once sets one at ease.

The grounds in front of this establish-
ment present an admirable display of
flowering and foliage plants from early
Spring until late in the Fall, and ad-
mirably set off the handsome new show
house and office. Actually, Mr. Goddard's
range ought to be called the "Experimen-
tal Station for New Carnations," for here
one is sure to meet all the aspirants to
honor in "Carnationdom" long before the
average grower1 is aware of their exis-
tence. Some of them pop up with a hur-
rah, only to display their faults and short-
comings, finally making an unmourned
exit to the dump.

Hundreds of Carnation seedlings have
here passed close scrutiny. When Mr.
Goddard says: "Mr. Seedling you are
N. G.," it is so, and when he says: "Mr.
Sedling you are O. K..," it generally is
so, too. At present there are two benches
given over entirely to Dorner's latest
seedlings. They are a most interesting
lot, of which a number are undergoing a
second or third year's trial.

It may be mentioned that, on the whole,
these Dorner seedlings show a decided
breaking away from the former style of
growth; meaning that the tendency to
produce extra long stems has been bred
out, and that the seedlings of this day
possess a habit which makes for somewhat
shorter stems and more of them, while
at the same time retaining in the flower
all the perfection and unapproachable re-
finement which distinguishes the Dorner

Ward color, very fragrant and of excellent
type, from Stout's, Biddeford, Me., which
is to be given to the trade next year.
William Sim's new variegated Eldora is
also showing up fine. This will also be
distributed this Winter, and should prove
a most serious rival of Benora, on account
of its freedom and ease of management.
Other varieties planted, some of them
quite heavily, are Harvester, which is now
in its second crop, and of which Mr. God-
dard thinks a good deal. It certainly
looks to be a fine white and a very free
bloomer. The Lark is another good varie-
gated, and also wonderfully free. It is
an exceptionally good keeper. Mr. God-
dard claims the flowers will never go to
sleep. They may rot of old age, but they
will not take a snooze. As might be ex-
pected, Laddie is grown extensively on
this place, and the benches could hardly
look better. Whoever has run up against
Mr. Goddard's Laddie in the show room
knows that Mr. Goddard has the growing
of Laddie down to a science. One house
is filled with Laddie entirely. Another
house is filled with Laddie and Surprise,
and an immense crop is in sight for the
holidays; a good crop has been harvested
already.

One house is given over to Roses, among
them a few remarkably fine seedlings
from Dorner. In other houses are to be
found good blocks of Calla Godfrey,
Cinerarias and Begonias, Melior, Chate-
laine and Patten. Also Snapdragons,
Mignonette, Cyclamen, Geraniums, palms,
Genistas, Acacias and many other things
needed for a thriving retail trade at home.
A plant, seldom seen, is Echeveria glauca,
which is here grown in quantity, in 5in.
and 6in. pots. It makes a number of fine

flowering spikes in one year. Another
plant, little known generally, is Erlangea
tomentosa, with mauve-purple flower
heads. Didiscus ccerulea, the Lace Flower,
is planted in the bench, and so is Bou-
vardia Humboldti. G. Th.

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

Trade Papers

The Horticultural Trades Association
(British) appears to be greatly disturbed
because the publishers of the Nurseryman
and Seeds-man ventures to put the horti-
cultural department of the Board of Agri!
culture on its mailing list. It may here
be explained that the H. T. A. is par-
ticularly keen on preventing any but
bona fide nurserymen, seedsmen and mar-
ket florists obtaining either of the three
trade papers published in England. Mere
retail florists and market growers of fruit
and vegetables are not considered legiti-
mate, and to ensure this the H. T. A. has
scrutinized the mailing lists of each paper.

To some of us this may appear like
mailed fist tactics, but it would hardly
work here, no matter how sore the trades
associations might feel about it. The
Post Office Department, for instance, de-
mands a marked copy, because the mailing
rate on purely literary matter differs
from the rate on advertising matter. To
us, therefore, it seems a joke that the
H. T. A. can put up a kick because a
government department receives a copy of
a trade paper. The objection is that
trade papers contain private news to
which the government officials have no
more right than has the trade to know
what goes on at government meetings.

Apart from this, it is claimed that the
government departments1 take advantage
of the private trade prices when buying
trees, etc.

One wonders what the H. T. A. would
say if the government and county authori-
ties instituted nurseries and supplied the
public as here. Huh! I suppose the en-
tire government would be "chucked" into
Channel.

Bulbs Again

According to a writer in the Nursery-
man and Seedsman, there's going to be a
shortage on some bulbs next year: in fact,
the shortage will be acute, and this is
apparently largely due to the inroads dis-
ease and pests have made on stock. A
Holland authority credits the blame
largely to the "amateur bulb growers," I
who, while engaged in every other kind
of business, thought they saw money in
bulb growing and went at it, caring
nothing so long as it returned a profit. II
These people, with their lack of knowledge, I
either failed or neglected to observe the
early stages of disease, and, ignoring
sterilization, have now infected wide
areas. This great increase of disease in
recent years is the primary cause for the
great shortage of bulbs, presumably Daf-
fodils, in both England and Holland, ac-
cording to this authority.

Then, again, the insatiable demand by
the forcers aggravates matters, while the
amateur demand has further increased,
so that varieties like Golden Spur are
now so scarce that it occasions alarm
among those who know its tremendous
popularity for forcing. There will be a [I
decided shortage on all Narcissi next year,
especially forcing varieties.

This will be good news for American
forcers, I don't think; for unless they can
pay the price, it's a foregone conclusion
that the British forcers will make sure of
the home supply. Generally speaking,
Hollanders have hitherto taken much of
the English stocks — one Holland firm now
has a farm in England — but with a short-
age, things may be different. The English
growers are more and more going after
their home trade.

It is said, too, that no surplus Hya-
cinths, Scillas or Irises are possible. The
only bulb stock plentiful is the Gladiolus.

An Exhibiting Record

From an English paper I learn that a
gardener whose age compels him to end
his exhibiting career this year, has come
pretty close to his desire of winning one
thousand first prizes. For many years A.
Basile has been the gardener at a Belgian
religious college in the South of Eng-

When the Impossible Becomes Possible

At the Pennsylvania Training School, Morganza, Pa., the only available space
for a greenhouse range was on the crest and side of a steep hill. Most people who
knew, or thought they knew, about greenhouses, said that it would be impossible to
build greenhouses on that slope and, beside that, the cost would be prohibitive.

&<Jtig

GREENHOUSES

are on that slope and King Construction changed the seemingly impossible to possible.
What is more, these houses add to the beauty of the Pennsylvania Training School,
produce a good quantity of first quality flowers and vegetables, and the complete
range, when compared with our commercial types of construction, cost proportionately
but little more.

Your greenhouse problem, regardless of what it is, can be worked out by King
Construction. Let us try it, without cost or obligation to you.

The Actuating Element

The actuating element of the Standard
Recording Thermometer is of lamina
metal, which, besides being extremely
sensitive to temperature changes, is prac-
tically indestructible. Record charts are
furnished either daily or weekly, and the
whole mechanism is contained in an at-
tractive metal case fitted with lock and
key, which insures the record from being
tampered with.

Your equipment is incomplete without
a standard Recording Thermometer.
Records are an important factor in every
business. Progressive growers who spare
no expense or effort in raising highest
grade stock should use Standard Record-
ing Thermometers and know their great
aid in keeping records of temperatures.

son just one short of his anticipated, thou-

Helianthus sparcifolius

The recent note on this remarkably fine
single Sunflower prompted Clarke Bros,
of Portland, Ore., to mention the fact
that it is the only perennial Sunflower
they grow, and they class it as the finest
of all yellow hardy plants. With them it
grows 6ft. to 8ft. and never seeds. It
rapidly deteriorates if not lifted and
divided to single crowns each year, which
goes to prove that Bailey's H. sparcifolius
is either non-existent or a totally differ-
ent form to the one under notice.

Clarke Bros, hold the view that H. spar-
cifolius, which they first obtained from
Holland, is a hybrid, and right away
from H. rigidus, a view held by this
writer also.

I might add that it seems to be the
opinion of several expert plantsnien in
England that the new Monarch is really
and truly H. sparcifolius resurrected.
This is equivalent to saying don't buy the
new Monarch at inflated prices, but those
who want a Sunflower for cutting in the
Fall ought to have H. sparcifolius, but
remember it must be divided every year
because of its tremendous vigor and mul-
tiplication.

Blue Bell Seed

Reference has been made to the Texas
Blue Bell {Eustoma Russellianum) and
its supposed indifference to cultivation.
Not long since, I believe, our Houston
confrere declared it could not be culti-
vated. Under the circumstances, I am
wondering why the party who specializes
in gathering and shipping this flower
should be offering seed at $2.50 an ounce.
Rather suggests there is a demand for
seed.

Among the guests who responded to
the toastmaster's call were State Sena-
tor-elect Wallace R. Pierson of Connecti-
cut ; Edward Reid, Philadelphia ; Chas.
H. Totty, Madison, N. J., and Win. H.
Duekharn. Madison, N. J. * * * Lady
Nightingale entertained with songs and
maneuverisms that put new life into old
attendants and old life into new ones.
The evening was generally conceded to
be 100 per cent entertaining and instruc-
tive. * * * The decorations by Peter Ger-
laird, and the smoothness of the proce-
dure were a credit to the Dinner Com-
mittee, composed of A. H. Langjahr,
chairman, W. G. Badgley and Philip
Kessler. * * * Frank H. Traendly as
toastmaster was in usual jovial form, and
added much to the pleasure of the occa-
sion with characteristic references and
remarks.

New Wholesale Firm

Another wholesale cut flower store
has been added to the already large num-
ber. Its location is 100 West 28th St.,
and the business is conducted as "David
H. Morton Jr. Inc." Mr. Morton says
that he is the youngest man in the whole-
sale flower business.

When calling recently on George C.
Siebrecht, 109 West 28th St., we saw
some of the finest Bouvardia we have
ever seen in the market ; there were sev-
eral colors, but an extraordinarily bril-
liant rr ' -edomiuated. Large sprays of
fine C; - .iums and Oncidiums in sev-
eral varieties and of Vandas, Oypripe-
diums and Ca^leyas including some hy-
brids of the last also attracted our at-
tention at this store.

James Leonard, formerly for several
years buyer for a line of hotels in this
city, has now entered the employ of Her-
man Weiss, 121 West 2Sth st. as sales-
man.

Samuel C. Gilbert, 43 West 2Sth st.
expects to soon send out twice each week
a market letter and price list to flower
growers, giving market conditions and
current prices of flowers. Also a price

list to the retail flower trade in New
York City and nearby towns, giving
them, too, an idea of what the prices will
be for the week. A postal card, Mr. Gil-
bert says, addressed to him will bring to
anyone one of these market letters for
growers or one of the price lists for the
retail florist.

To a representative of The Exchange
seeking information on the volume of
Thanksgiving Day business, both local
and through P. T. D. orders this year,
Mr. Schling said: "Thanksgiving busi-
ness in the Eastern section, meaning
New York and vicinity, did not seem to
develop as other years. Nor were Chrys-
anthemums in such profusion. The con-
tinuous warm weather had something to
do with that, but did not influence the
retail business any. What we did not
sell in Chrysanthemums we sold in other
stock and in plants. * * * Business the
first few days of the week did not show
in the buyers the real Thanksgiving
spirit. But what was missed in advance
orders came like a blizzard on Wednes-
day and Thursday. Considering that
prices for Pompons and the medium sized
Chrysanthemums were lower than last
year, business was much bigger. P. T. D.
business was very good and the florists
should devote more energy and more
money to advertising this branch of our
profession. * * * While our counter
Thanksgiving business this year showed
an increase of only 7 per cent over last
year our P. T. D. business, outgoing,
showed an increase of 25 per cent, and!
our incoming P. T. D. business an in-
crease of 20 per cent. The latter again
proves that the more P. T. D. florists
there are the more P. T. D. business will
be done, and when every good florist in
our big city becomes an P. T. D. florist,
then our business will be still growing
and all the other P. T. D. florists will be
able to show a growth in proportion. All
we have to do is to put on a little more
steam, each one of us."

Robert Craig, Sr. of Philadelphia, Pa.
sailed on Saturday, Dec. 2 for Porto
Rico, where he expects to pass the Win-
ter season.

The retail flower stores of this city,
as well as the wholesale, as far as we
are able to learn, closed on Thanksgiving
Day at noon or earlier. * * * Speaking
of the Thanksgiving Day business, G. E.
M. Stumpp, 5th ave. at 58th St., said to
an Exchange representative : "Our local
business and our outgoing and incoming
P. T. D. orders were fully up to, and
probably exceeded, those of last year. In
short, it was quite a satisfactory Thanks-
giving.

Gilbank's, 50 Broadway is opening a
new store at 120 Liberty st.

John H. Troy of New Rochelle, N. Y.,
the well known landscape gardener and
nurseryman, left for the West Indies
this week to oversee a contract which he
has there. In our* issue of Dec. 2, it will
be recollected, we had an illustrated ac-
count of a most original piece of land-
scape designing which had been executed
by Mr. Troy on the roof of one of New
York's business buildings.

Minneapolis and St. Paul

The Minneapolis Flower Festival was
an exceptionally good show in more ways
than one, and not the least of these
was that it appears to have been finan-
cially successful.

This week the State Horticultural
meeting and show is going on in St. Paul.

Chamber of Horticulture (British

This organization appears to to have
gained a backing in the new parliament
which our own trade organizations might
well desire. Prior to the elections, the
Chamber issued a questionnaire to the
many hundreds of candidates. Of the 18^
replies received, 77 candidates who wen
favorable to the horticultural industrj
requirements, were successful in winning
a seat in the House. With 77 M. F.(
having a more or less strong regard foi
the horticultural trade, things shouk
look up in Great Britain.

It is worthy of note that many of the
new M. P.s are in favor of regulation o:
imports. Under the new regime, the pos
sibility of controlled imports is mucl
stronger and we may yet see Britan
handing out horticultural and agricultura
retaliation all around.

Bruno Floral
Tear Down Old Houses and Replace
with Lord & Burnham's

It always seems like nothing short of a crime, when a
house that has been up 10 or even 20 years has to be
torn down because its repair bills eat too deeply into
profits.

Some argue that it's all right, consider-
ing that the house long ago paid for
itself. But is that sound reasoning,
when for but comparatively little more
expenditure, a house could have been
built of our iron frame construction,
that would pay for itself over and over
and over, and after half a century still
be practically as good as ever ?

Aside from the continued profits one of our houses
yields, Mount Bruno Floral Company of St. Bruno,
Quebec, have had their fill of short-lived houses. After
tearing down some worthless houses they had paid
good money for, they put up one of
our Number One iron framers 5 1 feet
wide and 650 long.

Whatever we might say about our
houses, can never have the same weight
as what those who own them, say. So we
suggest your asking the Bruno Floral
Co., not only what they think of our
houses, but our way of doing business.

Thomas Christensen

The Go-Getter
of Short Hills, N. X

Last year Peter B. Kyne wrote a bully tale called "The
Go-Getter." It was so full of get-thereness that one
concern I know of, bought a thousand copies of the book
and gave one to each employee. The Go-Getter was a
chap who in spite of the greatest bunch of hard luck
holdups, did what he started out to do. Did it without
getting all puffed up about it either.

Those of you who know Christensen, know he has pulled
things off in spite of election and high water. He's another
one of those men, like Finck of Eound Brook, who is so busy
'tending to his own business that he doesn't have any
time to give any attention to anybody else's. No one
grows any better ferns. And as for pot plants, that range
of narrow houses certainly does turn out top notch stock.

If you are debating whether to build one wide, or several
narrow houses, let's talk it over together. It's more than
likely we can give you some worth while help hints, j

Cbe Legend of the jfirst

H ^uletide Jfantasy

for Sxcbange Readers

By 6. L. D. Seymour

l With acknowledgments to M.S.E. and A.S.E.)

OW this is the story of the birth of that

ancient and honorable craft called

Floristry ; and of Hortus, the first

member of that craft : and of the little

Princess Cymbelene who. after all. was

responsible for all that happened. As

it is set down in the Book of the Ages,

so let me tell it, that you, too, may

know new joys this Christmastide, and

new pride and satisfaction in your power to make

others happy, even as did Hortus, the first florist. So,

hark ye. * * *

Celling SIbereforc the princess das Not
Rappy

Once upon a time, in a far off country and in the
far off days of long ago, there were a King and Queen
who had a daughter — the beautiful little Princess
Cymbelene. Rich, powerful, wise, just, and well-
beloved of all their subjects was this royal family,
— and happy? Well, happy in part; but only in part,
and this for a reason which I shall now disclose.

For it was the custom of this King's court to cele-
brate the Christmas season (as it had long been cele-
brated by earlier generations) by the giving of pres-
ents and the exchange of felicitous wishes. Christ-
mas, then, meant to Princess Cymbelene gifts and
festivities, feasting and sweetmeats, music, dancing
and masquerades in abundance, but always it seemed
to her that there was something else needed to make
the season one of fulsome gladness — something for
which she could find no name, of which she could give
no hint, to which no one seemed able to help her.
Despite the glitter of jewels and fine clothes, the lure
of books and toys, of pets and cakes and ices, there
was something forbidding about the old stone castle
even when the crowds were at their merriest play ; a
sense of gloom, a musty dampness in the air, a lack
of something that might warm the cockles of the soul.
So had it been for several years, during the baby-
hood of Princess Cymbelene and after, until at last
the King made a solemn vow to. find' out what was
wrong, to find or, if necessary, create, that which
would bring into the sweet but pensive, wistful face
of his little daughter the glow of true and heartfelt
happiness. Whereupon, in preparation for that par-
ticular Christmas of which I speak, he issued above
his name and royal seal a procla-
mation and an order calling
upon each and every one of his
loyal subjects, wheresoever he or
she might dwell, to bring forth-
with a Christmas present for his
daughter, the Princess Cymbe-
lene, choosing that thing which,
in the mind of the giver would
most certainly bring her true
and. complete happiness. Further-
more, he stated, whosoever
brought the gift which, in his
judgment made the Princess's
Christmas truly joyful, that
same person would be given free
right and privilege to name the
reward that should be vouch-
safed him.

Celling of the family of
Rortus the CQood Cutter

Now, it so chanced that there
lived in the dense forest that
covered the mountain side not
far from the royal castle, a poor
woodcutter — Hortus by name —
with his wife. Flora, and their
five children. Of these, Taxus
was the older son and Ilex, the
younger; Thuya and Hedera

were twin daughters, and also, there was the baby
girl, Cassine. Poor as a church mouse was this fam-
ily : hard-working, too, and ill equipped with book
knowledge and schooling, but affectionate, loyal, and
happy withal. Even at Christmas time, though know-
ing naught of presents and feasting, this family of the
forest celebrated in its own way, a way that had
come down by word of mouth and by precept from its
ancient ancestors, a way that brought its members
joy and satisfaction such as the court and all its
nobles had never experienced. And what that method
of celebrating was. you soon shall learn.

Now when the King's herald came riding into the
little clearing in front of the wood cutter's hut and
announced the royal proclamation, Hortus the wood
cutter was sore beset with distress and consternation.
"Alas." quoth he, "how shall such as I make gifts unto
a royal princess? No presents have we for one an-
other, let alone for her; nor money wherewith to
purchase even a farthing's worth. And e'en were we
to send the best of what little we own — my keen-
edged axe, my good wife's distaff, my children's pet
squirrels and tame wood mice — how could such gifts
wiu other than ridicule and disfavor in comparison

I

proclamation

with the presents of the rich and mighty?" And his
discouragement was so deep that it spread itself
throughout the members of his family who stood
about him listening, in awe of the royal herald and
his gaily caparisoned steed.

Then up spake Flora, the wife of Hortus, and as
she spake the anxiety vanished from the faces of
those who heard her, as rain clouds disperse before
sunshine and a warm south wind. For her counsel
was in this wise: "And yet, Hortus, my husband.
there is that which we can give the Princess Cymbe-
lene. Here, in our humble home we enjoy our Christ-
mas— why? Because we bring in from the dear forest
leaves and branches, vines and berry bearing shrubs,
and with them decorate our cottage until it sings
aloud of the Yuletide and its message. Wreaths we
make, and garlands, and likewise fragrant candles of
the Bayberry to yield up incense for our celebration —
and so we come to know each year the true spirit of
the Christmas season.

"Now I have been told by my kinswoman who has
a friend who works in the royal castle, that no such
thing is known there. No one there ever sees a
branch, a twig, a bud. a living flower of any kind
used to make the dwelling brighter — I shudder as I
think how bare, how desolate it must be. Yet never
before have I realized how much they lose thereby.
But now. it comes to me : Let us carry to the Prin-
cess Cymbelene those things that have given us so

much joy- — our fairest wreaths, bunches of bright
Holly and the sweet-scented Spruce. Laurel leaves and
Pine cones ; and with these let us express our love
and fealty. No prize can we hope for, it is true, be-
yond the joy of the giving ; but at least we will have
obeyed the King's command, and given that which
means the most to us."

Loud were the cries of approval and agreement,
from the gruff response of Hortus himself to the shrill
"Me too," of the baby Cassine who forthwith toddled
away to the nearest clump of underbrush in search,
as she said, of "the bestest Holly piece of all, wiv lots
of berries on him." And straightway all set about
making the handsomest garlands and evergreen ropes
that they had ever set their minds upon.

Celling Row the <Hood Cutter's family
Brought the princess a present

Come we now to Christmas eve when, despite the
nipping frost, the keen winds, and the drifting snow,
Hortus and his family set forth for the royal castle,
each with a share of the load of greenery. Stalking
ahead, Hortus broke out the almost hidden trail;
then came Flora, then Taxus and Ilex, then the twins,
hand in hand and dragging their contributions upou
a crude, homemade sled, upon which perched, also, tiny
Cassine clutching in a chubby, mittened hand a bunch
of Holly and a sprig of Mistletoe, fresh fallen from an
Oak and picked up in some hidden nook of the forest.

Arriving at the castle, where already were gathered
hundreds "of the King's subjects bearing gifts of all
kinds, shapes and sizes, Hortus, after much searching
and many inquiries, came upon the friend of Flora's
kinswoman — one Urbus who, by good fortune, chanced
to be one of the under-stewards in charge, especially,
of the apartments of the Princess Cymbelene. When
all had been explained (and when Hortus had slipped
into his hand a flagon of rich, homemade wine of the
wild Grape and the Elderberry) Urbus agreed to lead
the party by a back staircase up to the room in which
the Princess would eat her Christmas morning break-
fast, and where they might display their gifts to
greet her eye.

No sooner said than done, and ere many minutes
had passed the Princess's morning room was trans-
formed into a veritable Christmas bower of fragrant
hospitality and greeting. Across mantel, doorway and
window frame hung graceful ropes of Ground Pine
and Laurel ; each candle sconce
against the wall supported,
above, a bunch of Holly aud, be-
low, a dainty little wreath of
Spruce tips and baby cones;
from the huge chandelier in the
center of the room depended a
festoon of evergreen roping from
the tip of which hung the Mistle-
toe branch brought by Baby Cas-
sine. On a chair facing that in
which the Princess would next
morning seat herself- — Hortus
placed his contribution, a splen-
did wreath of Hemlock, Fir.
Laurel. Holly — everything one
could imagine; a masterpiece in
sooth, such as only he, long prac-
tised in the art, knew how to
construct. Finally, in the center
of the table where formerly had
stood a massive silver dish of
artificial, waxen fruit they
placed a tiny Fir tree growing in
a wooden tub, a Fir tree un-
adorned, but perfect in its sym-
metry and daintiness, truly a
central altar of the new spirit
of Christmas that now suffused
the room.

LILY OF THE VALLEY PIPS

We regret to inform the trade that an unprecedented demand for Cold Storage
Valley Pips has exhausted our supply, which we thought would be ample to take
care of orders until this year's crop is ready for distribution.

The new crop is reported to be short in the best forcing grade pips. Consci-
entious shippers in Germany are already declining orders. Our own supply will
be smaller than last year. Prices on early orders will remain about the same.
There is no ground for hasty action, but growers of Valley should carefully
figure out what quantity they can use in 1923, and then proceed to compare
qualities as soon as the stocks arrive. It is advisable to place orders for the
entire season as soon as the right stock at the right price has been located, for
there will not be much cold storage stock carried over until next Fall by jobbers
and dealers, according to present indications.

We accept orders for new Valley now, subject to your approval of our quality.

"You will be pleased."

Celling Row Christmas Really Came to
Princess Cymbelene

Canst thou not guess the rest, even without my
telling it? How the King and Queen, being told of
the transformation of the apartment by the gift of the
obscure wood cutter and his family, wrent up and
inspected it while the Princess slept; how they, too,
felt the influence of the change and, with as many of
their retinue as possible returned to the room nest
morning to await the coming of the Princess; how,
after the usual ceremony of emptying a stocking filled
to overflowing with goodies and favors, and after
opening a few of the "special" presents from the
family, the Princess had tired even of the new dolls
and gems and things to wear and called for break-
fast ; and how. upon entering the apartment into
which a bright Winter sunlight was streaming the
little Princess Cymbelene had stopped — aghast.

Surely, there is no need of my telling these things,
nor of how, as she stood there with that wistful, sub
dued, almost pitiful expression on her beautiful little
face, suddenly, as she sniffed the aromatic air, marked
the glint of the red berries against the verdant foli-
age, and cautiously touched the glossy surface of a
Laurel leaf that hung near her — suddenly a new and
delicious smile crept into her eyes and thence spread
to her cherry red lips, and back again, broadening and
expanding as the moments passed. Long she looked,
and smiled, and breathed deeply of the new atmos-
phere of Christmas that had been shed upon her
through the gifts of Hortus and his family — and then
her joy expressed itself : "Oh, Daddy King and
Mummy Queen." she murmured, hardly above a whis-
per. "Oh. isn't it just — just — Christmassy? Why, it
makes day all different, somehow — all sort of alive,
and soft, and warm, and gentle and nice. It's nothing
to eat, or to wear, or to play with — but I've had so
many of those things already and — somehow, it's just
what I've always wanted — and I never even knew it !"
And at that the King clapped his hands and
shouted aloud, just like any ordinary daddy would
who had seen a great, new-
happiness given to his lit-
tle daughter. And the
Queen beamed upon them
and gave the little Prin-
cess Cymbelene such an
enormous hug as she had
never known before. And
all the lords and ladies
standing round clapped
■ their hands, too, until the
little page boys forgot to
be polite and stood on
their hands and waved
their feet in the air !

Quickly the word spread
throughout the castle, and
thence out into the stables
and the courtyard still
thronged with those who
had brought gifts. And so
great was their love for
the little Princess thai
when they heard the news,
even though it meant that
they had failed to win the
reward, they rejoiced for
her and set up a great
shout of good cheer that
set the echoes ringing near and far.

— "and' thus it came about that

people began to decorate their

homes with plants."

Celling Row the Stood Cutter CQas Summoned
to JVamc and Receive Ris Reward

Little wonder, then, that the King promptly pro-
claimed that at last a present had been given to the
Princess Cymbelene such as the whole country had
been seeking — a present that carried with it real and
fulsome happiness and the true Christmas spirit. But
the wood cutter had long since hurried home with
his family (and by sitting up very late Christmas
eve they were able to make some more wreaths and
roping for their own Christmas), so another herald
had to ride out to find him and summon him to the
palace to receive his reward. That was a surprise,
you may be sure, nor for a while could Kortus believe
his good fortune nor bring himself to obey the sum-
mons. But finally the herald persuaded him, and
back to the castle he went — taking with him again,
Flora and Taxus and Ilex and Thuya and Hedera
and Baby Cassine because, he insisted, they were all
as much responsible for the success of the gift as he
was. But this time there was no need for them to
trudge through the snow, for the King had sent a
fine big sleigh with six white horses and plenty of
sleigh bells to fetch them — and they rode in state and
in high glee as the people along the roadsides waved
and cheered them.

When they stood before the King and Queen in the
great audience hall, with all the dukes and counts
and nobles looking on, wondering where to put their
hands and how to keep their knees from knocking
together (all except Baby Cassine who was enjoying
it immensely) — then indeed, Hortus wished that he
and his family were back at home in their little hut
with all its simplicity and peace. But the King had
his proclamation read again three times, declared that
Hortus had been deemed worthy of the promised
reward and asked him what he chose. Would it be
silver, or gold, or precious stones? A new, splendid
house to live in? Fine clothes and furs for his wife
aud daughters? A commission in the castle guards for
his older son? A pony cart for Ilex, or a course in
singing and dancing for the twins? Or even a part
of the kingdom to rule over? To each question the
wood cutter shook his head — until finally the King
stopped suggesting, partly because he could think of
nothing else to offer and partly because he was get-
ting fearful that Hortus might be planning to ask
nothing less than to be made King himself !

But Hortus, after he had scratched his head a bit
and whispered with Flora his wife, took a deep breath
and a firmer grip on his cap and said, not without
hesitating, but decidedly : "Your Majesty, we want
none of those things. Anybody can get them — if not
as a gift, then by working and saving and struggling
past the other folks who are trying to get them, too.
If we are indeed entitled to any reward, we wanL
something different, something that no one has ever
had. We have seen how we. were able to bring joy
into the heart of Princess Cymbelene with the greens,
and branches, and berries that mean so much to us —
and now we would like to be able to make more
people happy that same way — by showing them how-
to love and use and enjoy the plants and trees that
grow all about us.

Celling of the Boon that Rortus Craved

"So I ask that your Majesty will let me be the
royal decorator, with power and right to beautify
your castle for all your celebrations and feast days ;
and, if your people choose, to similarly beautify the
other castles and the lesser homes and the shops and
public buildings throughout the Kingdom. And with

your Majesty's permission,
we would like to have a
stall in the market place
where we can display the
greens and flowers we
bring in from the woods,
so that people may see
them and learn to know
them and love them. Is
this too much for us to ask?"

"Not so," said the King who there-
upon made good his promise and gave
the wood cutter the reward he him-
self had chosen by issuing yet another
proclamation in these words :

• •jirXOW YE, all my loyal sub-
^ jects, that one Hortus, a
wood cutter, with Flora his wife,
and their children Taxus, Ilex, Thuya, Hedera
and Cassine, have this Yuletide brought a new
and beautiful kind of Christmas spirit into the
heart of our beloved daughter, the Princess Cym-
belene, thereby creating in her the happiness for
which we long have sought and rendering us
grateful in thought and word and deed to them
and their heirs forever.

"And in tribute thereof, we, your King and
Queen, do hereby proclaim and declare the said
Hortus to be the Royal Plant Decorator of our
kingdom; and as such it shall be his right to
grow, gather and sell for such sums as shall be
deemed just, the greens and plants and flowers
wherewith' — each in its season — he can warm and
delight the hearts of the people; and as such, it
shall further be his right to render service, for
fit and just recompense, in so arranging such
flowers and plants for those who would use or
give them as presents, to the end that they shall
carry their utmost message.

Celling, at Last, Row Rortus Came to be
the first florist

"And finally, because it was the thought of
Flora, the wife of Hortus, that brought about the
happy circumstances of which we have spoken,
we do hereby declare that his work of making
the kingdom brighter, happier and more beauti-
ful by means of plants, shall henceforth be called

Jfloristry

— and that it shall be so known and honored
through all the years to come. Likewise, ye shall
give honor and respect to all those who, here-
after, may learn from, and follow in the foot-
steps of — our new craftsman — Hortus, the first
florist of all the world."

And thus it duly came about that people — first in
that far off kingdom and then elsewhere throughout
the world — 'began to decorate their homes with living
plants and the blooms therefrom ; to use them as
gifts and messengers ; and to make them a part of
their lives and interests until it could truly be said
of flowers — as it is said today —

"Flowers — they give a more brilliant lustre to
our festivals ; they are the interpreters of our
affection; they are the testimonials of our grati-
tude ; they are often necessary to the pomp of our
religious ceremonies ; and they seem to associate
and mingle their perfumes with the purity of our
prayers and the homage we address to the Al-
mighty. Happy are those who love and culti-
vate them."

Tariff and Legislation Committee Resigns

On Dec. 1 the following communication was re-
ceived by S. S. Pennock, president of the society:
"Dear Mr. Pennock :

"We, the undersigned, composing the Tariff and
Legislation Committee of the S. A. F. and 0. H., as
officially appointed, hereby respectfully tender our
resignations — individually and collectively — with the
request that they be accepted and permitted to take
effect immediately, or as soon as a new committee
can be named.

"We take this action, first, as the logical, and in
fact the only way to relieve the society of the em-
barrassment of being nominally represented in the
important fields of tariff and legislation by a com-
mittee whose judgment and action have been refused
endorsement by the society at its annual convention
in August, 1922; and second, as due ourselves and

our self-respect, after having to the best of our ability
endeavored to serve the interests of the society.

"This resignation, we may say, has been delayed
until this late date with relation to the convention
and its action, by the serious illness and continued
incapacity of its chairman, and the consequent in-
ability of the committee to act as a unit.

"We remain, sir, with the best wishes for the
prosperity and welfare of the S. A. F., and with kind
personal regards,

Very truly yours,

(Signed) James McHutchison, Chairman,
Jacob D. Eisele,
Henry F. Michell,
F. R. Pierson,
A. L. Miller,
Leonard H. Vatjghan, -
Wm. F. Gude.
In accepting these resignations with regret, Mr.
Pennock, on behalf of the society, thanked each and
every member for the loyal and unselfish support
which they gave while they were members of the com-
mittee. Mr. Pennock advises the secretary that as
his term of office will expire in less than three weeks,
he will leave the appointment of the new Committee
on Tariff and Legislation to his successor, Mr. Irwin
Bertermann. John Young, Secretary.

Reserve Fund Trustees Appointed

At the Kansas City convention the following
amendment to Art. 2, Sec. 1, of the by-laws was unani-
mously adopted :

"The president shall also appoint, at the annual meet-
ing in 1922, four Reserve Fund Trustees, consisting of
the treasurer and three past-presidents, one for one
year, one for two years, and one for three years; the
trustees shall elect their own chairman. He shall
thereafter, on the first day of January in each year,
appoint one past-president as trustee to fill the place
of the trustee retiring.

"The trustees shall, in the intervals between the
meetings of the directors and subject- to the general
and specific direction of the society and directors, have
the care and management of the society's reserve funds,
and the power to sell, exchange, invest and reinvest the
same."

President Pennock, with the complete approval of
President-elect Irwin Bertermann, has appointed as
such Reserve Fund Trustees — to serve from Jan. 1,
1923:

Philip Breitmeyer, Detroit, Mich., one year.
Frank R. Pierson. Tarrytown, N. Y., two years.
Thomas Roland. Nahant. Mass., three years.
J. J. Hess, treasurer. Omaha, Neb., one year

The Waiting Yule

A Christmas Tale of the Yule Log Sufap'osea1 to 'Burn Out
_A._ Ola vvrongs ana Heartburnings -^

•^^ By A. L. CLOSE ^^

«c^(>?<j[>?cc>?<:c&caiac&(>%[a[>%(>%c&[^D%»?oe^

Already, there
men upon the

|»— rjl HE gloom depened in the somber room, as the
II fire burned low upon the hearth and penetrated

™ ' to the very soul of the man sunk low in the

large, leather armchair before the dying embers.

Christinas. Paul Marvin reflected, which in the days
gone by had been the gladdest time of all the year,
had come to be the saddest — and tomorrow would be
Christmas !

Wearily, he rose, his large frame casting eerie shad-
ows as he made his way cellarward to procure more
logs. How he missed his man-servant, the faithful
Thompson, not only his services, but his taciturn pres-
ence, the one connecting link between now and other
days.

Setting down his basket, the man ran his pocket-
flash over the woodpile: and as he did so, the light
for a moment shone full upon a small embrasure
nearby, over which a board had been nailed.

Strange, strange, thought the man, that in all these
dreary years — were they six? only five? — he had
never thought of the charred Yule log lying behind
that board, and now that Thompson, whose hands
had held the hammer and driven the nails, had just
been laid to rest, came this reminder !

Almost overcome by his memories, the man sank
upon one of the larger logs and bowed his head upon
his hands — the head that had always been held so
high, but that now seemed permanently bent beneath
its crown of snowy hair.

How plainly he saw it all — that last happy Christ-
mas eve !

He heard again the jingle of his sleigh's bells, the
crunch of the snow beneath his horses' feet, as he
drove the visitors from the station to his home : heard

again the gay voices at
the dinner table, and
Liter, the joyous shril-
ling of the children as
they hung their stock-
ings ; heard the quiet-
ing "Good-night ! Go-o
to sleep!" from the
mothers, called back
from the stairs in an-
swer to the tremulously
excited farewells from
the children.

Now they were all in
the big living room — the
room he had recently
come from — only it was
not gloomy then ! There
had been lights and
laughter and Christmas
greens — he could smell
again the pungent odor
of Fir and Pine and
Balsam, see the gleam
of red berries hiding
behind the Holly leaves,
and the white berries
clustering on the stems
of the Mistletoe ! How
gaily the challenging
youths had hung the
Mistletoe! What pretty
pretenses of forgetting
on the part of the
young girls! What delighted exclamations from all
when he and Thompson had brought in armfuls of
Poinsettia plants— all they could stagger under.

Through the arched doorway could be seen several
grouped about the piano —

"God rest you, merry gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay — "
Oh, was the music of their singing only a memory?
He could hear it so plainly!

. And then, the last glittering ornament hung upon
the tree, the broken bits of boughs swept into a heap
upon the hearth, all had gathered about the glowing
logs to await the chiming of midnight from the old
clock in the hall.

Was he that happy host, who, standing by the
mantel, had stooped to pick a bough from the pile
and. placing it upon the flames, had cried gaily, "One

voices that cried. "Now
log !" — only a phantom

hour to go before we wish each other 'Merry Christ-
mas !' Come, who knows any history of our festive
hangings — the ropes of green, the Holly, the Mistle-
toe, the Christmas tree? I reserve the right to tell of
the Yule log !"

How they had laughed at the vast ignorance dis-
played by many ! How interestedly they had listened
while Stephen Dare — he who had loved Winona, who
still loved Winona, youngest daughter of Paul Mar-
vin— had told of the Mistletoe, the mystic parasite
revered by the Druids ; and then the legend from the
Scandinavian mythology, wherein Balder, god of
poetry and eloquence, telling his mother of his dream
that he was about to
die. so terrified her that
she called upon all the
powers of Nature, in-
cluding plants, and ob-
tained from them an
oath that they would
protect Balder, who
thenceforth took his
place amid the combat
of the gods ; how the
Mistletoe, that feeble
little shoot growing
upon the great Oaks,
had been found by
Loake, the enemy of
Balder, to have been
overlooked in the sup-
plications of the
mother, and had aided
Loake in bringing about
the death of Balder, the
invulnerable !

Were they only phantom
for the story of the Yule
Winona who crept within the circle of his arms, whis-
pering "Daddy, dear !," helping to heal the hurt in-
flicted a few years previous, when, as a girl, she had
run off with a graceless scamp, whom she had only
recently left, returning with a darling, dimpled, two-
year-old daughter? Were they only phantom faces
flashing in the firelight as the upshooting flames from
freshly piled boughs roared up the wide chimney?

Yes. it was he, Winona's "Daddy, dear," who had
related the legend of the jYnle log! He remembered
that her dear hand had gripped his, as he told how
its flames were supposed to burn out old wrongs and
heartburnings. He had kissed her forehead in warm
response, and then it had happened — this thing of ill-
omen, which had changed, for many, glad times into
sad times. He lived it over again — heard again the
voices of the man, who was he, saying, "It was con-
sidered an evil omen if. while the Yule log was burn-
ing, a barefooted person walked in the room — ."
Again could he feel Winona shudder within bis arms,
and hear her startled. "Look !," as he beheld Winona's
baby in their midst, lisping sweetly, "I want my muv-
ver !" He could remember the play of the firelight
over her curls as she ran toward them, and felt again
the icy clutch of the terror that told him she, their
beautiful, adored baby was barefooted."

In the awed silence, the clock in the hall had
chimed twelve !

How had he ever brought himself to say — "and the
charred block of the Yule log is always carefully pre-
served in the cellar that it may be used to light the
new Yule log at the next joyous Christmas season."

After the stir and bustle of departure, he, Paul
Marvin, had gone to sleep in his study, having given
up his room to some of their guests, and in the chill
of dawn he had been wakened by Winona standing
at his side, her baby in her arms.

"Daddy, dear," she had whispered. "It is Christmas
morning. I must, go to my husband ! I promised ' 'ti!
death us do part.' " And it was at that moment that
the stricken man had" heard Thompson driving in the
nails — preserving the charred remains of the Yule log.
* * * * * *

The doorbell jangled and the vision faded. The man
dragged his chilled and stiffened limbs up the steps.
Stephen Dare stood at the door.

"Stephen," said Paul Marvin, "I cannot go through
with it — oh, Son, I cannot!"

But even as he spoke, he beheld, the florist's cars
without, loaded, he knew, ^with Christinas greens.

were
steps,
their arms laden with
beautiful boughs. As
their spicy fragrance
reached him, the man
threw wide the doors,
admitting the retinue
of workers who would
soon t r a n s f o r m his
dreary home into a
Christmas haven for
homeless newsboys.

:;: * * * 4 *

A few hours later,
Paul Marvin was sit-
ting again by his fire-
side, and Stephen Dare
stood by the mantel.

"Stephen," said the
man, "This log is
lighted over the re-
mains' of the log we had
that Christinas eve —
you remember?"

"Yes," said Stephen
softly, "I remember."

"It has waited all these years and — and — ' The
man's voice quivered, as he thought of the lost years,
the lost daughter, the lost wife — even the lost Thomp-
son.

"Dear friend," said Stephen, "all is in readiness,
the little fellows will soon be here — better put on your
beard." And Stephen adjusted it and stood back to
get the effect.

"O-oh!," cried a delighted, childish voice from the
hallway. "Mother, see! We really did find Santa —
■ all ready for us !"

The men turned, as the child -came wonderingly
forward. Amazed, they beheld a fair-haired, girl-
child !

Then, from the shadows, sobbed a voice, "Daddy,
dear?"

And a glad, glad cry, "Winona!" answered,
"Winona, my daughter, the Yule log is burning — burn-
ing away all wrongs — come!"

And Winona came, into the waiting arms of the
father, meeting, over his shoulder, the waiting eyes
of Stephen Dare, all standing in the glow of the Yule
log that had waited for this hour.

"I stuck, Daddy, 'til death parted us — but oh, it is
good to be home again — home with you and — and
Stephen, and the spirit" of Christmas !"

// faded on the crowing of the cock.
Some say, that ever 'gainst that season comes
Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated,
This bird of dawning singeth all night long:
And then, they say, no spirit dare stir abroad:
The nights are wholesome, then no planets

strike,
No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to

charm;
So hallow d and so gracious is the time.

Shakespeare's Hamlet

The Modern 'Mum

Some newspapers have made much of the fact that
United States florists have sent a number of Chrysan-
themum plants to China. Presumably these quota-
tions refer to shipments sent by the U. S. Dept.' of
Agriculture in exchange for others, but there seems
little occasion to rhapsodize over such an event ; at
this late date.

So far as we are aware the florists of the Western
world have long since been ahead of the Orient; in
the direction of large Chrysanthemums ; at least, ,we
have no recollection of seeing any oriental raised
'Mum other than the thread petaled and spidery va-
rieties. The Chrysanthemum is assuredly of the Bast,
and hundreds of years ago, the gardeners of China
and Japan may have improved it, but its main prog-
ress, we imagine, came after it reached Europe in
1764, although it was not until 1800 and after, that
new forms began to develop ; in fact it was not until
around 1850 that the French and English florists
began to make real progress. The fact that the varie-
ties shown in those days were all superseded 40 years
later and that, as is recorded by the late Wm. Wells,
the varieties of 1S90 were entirely gone when he
wrote in 1900 is proof enough of the steady develop-
ment of the 'Mum in Europe.

The Show Chrysanthemum as we know it and have
known it for the past 30 years or so has little or none
of the oriental in its makeup, and if it comes to
cases, the present day large flowered varieties are
little if any different from those in favor then. Their
absence today is probably due to a variety of causes,

Notes from Abroad

In the British metropolis a few samples
of the traditional (it must not be called
typical) November weather has had a de-
pressing influence on the cut flower mar-
ket, although the sale of plants in pots
has been by comparison remarkably good.

The National Chrysanthemum Society
of Great Britain has just held a most suc-
cessful show, by many considered to be
the finest up to date. The exhibits were
splendid and the attendance great. Promi-
nent features were the unusually large
participation of amateur growers and the
increased proportion of high class single
Chrysanthemums shown, one or two of
the best of these obtaining first-class
certificates. K. J. Jones ol Lewishain
bore off the lion's share of the awards,
and must by now be getting embarrassed
with the large number of gold medals
with which his excellent work has been
rewarded.

Grass Seed Crops

On this side of the Atlantic the damp
and dull Summer and Fall have played
havoc with a large number of the most
important agricultural seeds. Bed Clover
is in Great Britain practically a failure;
in France a very small crop, and in Cen-
tral Europe not a great deal better. White
Clover has done badly in England, and
values are higher. The same may be said
of Alsike ana Trefoil. Alfalfa in France
has not turned out as well as expected,
and prices are hardening.

Perennial Bye Grass in Ireland is a
heavy crop, but quality has been some-
what damaged by the weather, which may
att'eet the germination. In Scotland the
crop is also good and the quality generally
satisfactory. Italian Bye Grass is an
average crop as to quantity and quality,
both in Ireland and in France.

Cocksfoot has done well in Denmark,
which is doing a good export trade in it,
notably to ISew Zealand, where the crop
is deficient. Denmark also reports a
moderate harvest of Meadow Fescue, and
a small one of Hard Fescue. In Crested
Dogstail, New Zealand has a large crop
of excellent quality, and prices for export
are very tempting for buyers. Poa
trivialis and Meadow Foxtail are short
in all European growing districts.

The latest news from France is that the
recent moist weather has not been an
unmixed blessing, as although it has favor-
ed the Fall sowings of certain articles it
has sadly spoilt many lots of the later
Iwarf Snap Beans. The plantations for 1923
of table Beets are looking well, and the
same may be said of Mangolds, the seed
of which is in good demand at higher
prices. Carrot seed is selling freely, and
the prospects for next season are reported
good, a large acreage being out. Of Cab-
bages, White, Bed and Savoy, a consider-
able acreage has been put out, but not
under the most favorable condition.
Cauliflowers and Broccolis are said to be
in a satisfactory state at the present time.
The demand having somewhat subsided,
plantations of Kob.l-B.abi and Buta Baga
are not so large as usual, but have quite
a promising appearance up to date.

Nov. 25, 1922.

Crop Conditions

Some of the largest Italian seed grow-
ers have been touring western Europe,
and report that the Cauliflower planta-
tions in their country are looking remark-
ably healthy, although the acreage is
rather limited. They are hoping to get a
fair crop of well ripened seed, if the
Winter is a normal one. There is still
a fair quantity of seed of the 1922 crop
available. The same applies to Bed On-
ions and some sorts of Leek, but White
Onions are scarce. The French growers
report Lettuce crop fair average, except
late sorts, which are poor. Prices are
about the same as last year, but likely
to rise. Onion crop is short in West
and Center and hardly an average one in

the South. Leek is being thrashed and
a medium to rather short yield is ex-
pected. Parsley is about an average
crop and the plantations for 1923 look
healthy up to date. Sorrel, Corn Salad
and Dandelion are not likely to be short.

There has been a good crop of some
'leading sorts of Bush Beans in Australia
and offers at advantageous rates are
coming through.

Judging by offers and advance lists
that have so far been issued, as regards
vegetable seeds, there is a general ad-
vance in values of Beans, Cabbages, Car-
rots, Celeries, Onions, Parsnips, Turnips,
Mangels and Swedes, while Broccolis are
exceptionally scarce and dear. There
has been on the other hand, some diminu-
tion in the prices of Beets (except round
sorts), Cress, Egg Plant and Spinach,
while other articles appear to remain
on the average of about much the same
values as last season.

Cooperative Advertising Movement

The cooperative advertising movement
in England has now been able to review
the results of its first year's working,
and it is pleasing to note that the pro-
moters are so far satisfied with what has
been achieved that they have resolved
to continue their operations during the
ensuing season of 1923. The published
figures do not jump to the eye as showing
a brilliant profit, but they are convinc-
ing to the keen business heads, having
the matter in hand that the principle is
sound and that they are on the right
lines. A few doubtful voices were raised,
but the optimistists carried their point
and they certainly deserve universal
sympathy for their enterprise and ro-
bust business faith.

In Covent Garden market the usual
dullness of trade in the weeks before
Christmas prevails, but the season's rush
will not be long before it makes itself
felt.

Seed Prices Advancing; More Shortages

Frank C. Woodruff of S. D. Woodruff
& Sons, 197 Washington St., said recently
during an interview accorded a repre-
sentative of The Exchange: "Some weeks
ago we gave you as our opinion that
there would be a material advance in
the price of seeds. We wish that all our
predictions would always be as true as
they have proved in this case. We have
personal knowledge of Alaska Peas sell-
ing the last week at 12c to 14c. per lb
in carload lots f. o. b. growing station.
We know also where Black Valentine,
Stringless Green Pod and Kentucky Won-
der Beans have sold in round lots at 16c.
to 18c. per lb. About the best quota-
tion anyone can get on Beets of any
variety is 35c. per lb. and on Carrots 50c.
per lb. Many items which have not
been considered short are now showing
unusual strength, such as Cucumber.
Squash and other vine seeds; Sweet
Corn such as Golden Bantam and Country
Gentleman are also decidedly on the
short list.

ruptcy, an auction sale of its stock, effects,

All these varieties are the Winter-

indoors or outdoors the year around.
They will produce more and better flowers
outdoors than the old late Spencers, be-
cause they bloom 3 to 4 weeks earlier,
before the hot weather seta in. Plant
after the Chrysanthemum and get a full
crop for Easter. Plant in cool frames or
outdoors just before the freezing begins
and get a full crop in May for Decoration
Day. Plant out of doors in the Spring
and they will bloom early in June.

(Continued from page 1601)
liabilities were given as about $20,000
and the assets about $3500.

Vaughan's Seed Store reports the
receipt of large shipments of Tuberoses.
The shipping department of this store is
extremely busy sending out Holly and
other Christmas greens. The bulb de-
partment reports the demand for cold
storage Valley extra heavy, and further-
more, that a carload of hardy Japanese
Lilies arrived Dec. 9 and is now being
shipped out promptly to fill orders; also
that a car of Lilium giganteum bulbs is
now rolling eastward and expected to
arrive soon, when these bulbs will be
placed in cold storage to meet future
orders. * * * The travelers of this store
are sending in large orders for Gladioli
and other Spring bulbs, and also for
Holly and other Christmas greens. A
carload of Cannas of all the leading va-
rieties, packed 250 to the case is now
rolling from the South, and is expected
to be here for distribution after Jan.
1. A large shipment of Dahlias, cover-
ing all the best leading varieties, also is
now enroute and is expected in a few
days. The demand for Onion sets is
reported active, and the demand for these
in the market is becoming stronger each
day. * * * This store is now in receipt
of a large shipment of well-rooted Man-
etti stock for greenhouse grafting for
which numerous orders are being received
and rapidly filled. The salesroom has a
decidedly Christmas atmosphere now, be-
cause of the well arranged display of
Christmas goods; the window display,
too, is extraordinarily attractive. The
background is an artificial red brick
wall, set off with a border of Christmas
Holly. Against this and on the red cov-
ering of the window floor are shown all
kinds of Christmas specialties, such as
red wreaths, red and green frieze, red
and green Ruscus, red, white and blue
Immortelles, etc. Other seasonable goods
help to finish this display.

Stumpp & Walter Co., 30-32 Barclay st,.
report that they are mostly cleaned up
on bulbs. The salesroom and window
display of this store is bright and attrac-
tive this week, and consists of a large
line of lustreware bulb and flower bowls,
some of them being filled with bulbs to
exemplify their use. This store is car-
rying and offering a more than usual va-
riety and handsome line of this lustre-
ware.

The prices being realized for cut
blooms of Paperwhite Narcissus are en-
couraging growers to plant this item
more liberally and as a result a gradual
cleanup of stocks among New York
dealers is reported. At prevailing cost
of these bulbs their growing offers profit-
able possibilities as a catch crop.

F. Rynveld & Sons are showing this
week several specialties in colored nat-
ural flowers and grasses prepared at
their own dyeing establishment in south-
ern France. These items are in good
demand by florists for holding trade. Ar-
rivals of Tuberoses, Cannas and other
southern bulbs are reported and ship-
ments of Gladioli for southern trade are
made. This firm continues to receive
Lily of the Valley and recent reports from
its German office state that stocks of the
best qualities are all now engaged.

Chicago Seed Trade

Chicago seed stores all present a
Christmas appearance. There are red
bells, red frieze, Christmas wreaths, Im-
mortelles, Cape flowers, Holly and Holly
berries, Lycopodiurn, Mistletoe and Christ-
mas trees. The holiday buying has start-
ed early and promises to be quite active
to the finish.

A. Miller of the American Bulb Co. is
still in New York completing the final
details of the opening there of a branch
store. Vincent Niel, who was in the
Henrotin hospital for several days, was
able to go home last w^eek where he is
rapidly recovering. He expects to be at
his place of business in a few days. The
new crop bulbs of L. giganteum are
moving rapidly. There is a good de-
mand for Sweet Pea seed to follow
Chrysanthemums in the seed department.

Vaughan's Seed Store is undergoing a
thorough overhauling and remodeling of
the interior. At the West Side whole-
sale department there is a good demand
for Gladioli to follow Chrysanthemums.

Ed. Goldenstein reports a good cleanup
on all bulbous stock. J. C. Vaughan at-
tended the meeting of the Indiana State
Florists Association at Terre Haute on
Dec. 5. Three cars of Holly were moved
the past week. Two cars of hardy Japan
Lilies have arrived. Giganteums are mov-
ing, a part of which are going into
storage.

R. B. Howe of the W. W. Barnard Co.
reports the arrival of a fine supply of
Christmas trees. Bouquet green and
Holly are in good demand. The firm is
having splendid returns from the Christ-
mas price list recently mailed. J. R.
Partridge, advertising manager, has
commenced work on the Spring catalogs.

The store of A. Henderson & Co. is
quitte attractive with Christmas -trim-
mings, flowering plants and other holiday
goods. Wm. Langhout reports good busi-
ness from salesmen on the road. Gladioli
bujbs for greenhouse planting are in de- •
niand, also Sweet Peas.

The Western Seedsmen's Association
will hold its Fall meeting in the Balti-
more Hotel, Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 16.
Gov. Henry Allen of Kansas is to address
the meeting. The grass seed dealers are
urged to be present as much of the meet-
ing will be devoted to points of interest
in grass and field seeds.

Boston Seed Trade

New England Seedsmen Meet

At the annual meeting of the New
England Seedsmen's Association held at
the Parker House, Boston, on Tuesday,
Dec. 5, Commissioner Gilbert of the
Mass. State Board of Agriculture talked
on the spread of the European Corn
borer and made it plain that vigorous
measures must be taken if this pest is
to be held in check or exterminated. He
hoped that the State and Federal auth-
orities would help with larger appropria-
tions.

Pres. Alexander Forbes of the Ameri-
can Seed Trade Association was the
guest of the evening and received a hearty
greeting. He spoke of conditions in the
seed trade in general and mentioned that
the market gardeners are demanding the
highest grades of seeds, more and more,
and that they are perfectly willing to
pay extra for superior seeds, wherefore
the seedsman will do well to make qual-
ity his watchword. Mr. Forbes mentioned
that Parsnip seed is very short. Field
Corn also is scarce and high. Grass seed
is normal except some foreign sorts, of
which there is a shortage. Creeping
Bent grass and a few others are decid-
edly short.

The newly elected officers are: Presi-
dent, Willis S. Pino, Providence, R. I.;
vice-president, Alexander P. Dewar, Bos-
ton, Mass.; secretary and treasurer, Pet-
er Miller, Boston, Mass. The executive
committee consists of George S. Williams,
Providence, R. I.; Everett P. Jones,
Hartford, Conn.; D. W. Webber, Lewis-
ton, Me. Members to the number of 27
were present from all parts of New Eng-
land.

Cincinnati Seed Trade

Now that' the bulb trade in the Cincin-
nati district has closed until next Spring,
dealers are kept busy with booking future
business for seeds and grasses. Large
orders for January shipment of Blue
Grass, Red Top and Rye Grass have been
booked, and the future demand will prob-
ably exceed expectations.

Bulb and seed houses are also busy
with such lines as Christmas trees,
Laurel, Holly and general Christmas
decorations. Christmas trees are scarce
and hard to get on account of the rail-
road shortage and embargoes on necessary
articles from the New England States.
Dealers had a hard time obtaining a pri-
ority ruling for tree movements.

Daniel Carmichael, manager of the seed
and bulb department of the McCullough
Co., returned last week from an extended
trip through the East, where he booked
a large amount of late Winter and early
Spring business.

Members of the trade were shocked last
week by the sudden death of Edward E.
Lester, for the past ten years secretary-
treasurer of J. M. McCullough Sons Co.
Mr. Lester died on Saturday, Nov. 2, at
his desk, and was buried the following
Tuesday, from his home in Pleasant Ridge,

Ohio. He had been in the employ of the
McCullough Co. almost 30 years, having
entered it as a bookkeeper when a young
man. Mr. Lester was 57 years old, and
is survived by a widow, who lives at
Pleasant Ridge. He was a Past Master
of Pleasant Ridge Lodge of Masons and a
member of the Pleasant Ridge Welfare
Association. He was also chairman of the
Board of Trustees of the Pleasant Ridge
Presbyterian Church. E. L. Hawes.

Week at the Capital

By CLARENCE L. LINZ

*9W*VWWW*WVVV*W

Our Exports

Exports during the month of October
reached a total of $366,177,401, or nearly
$30,000,000 more than during the cor-
responding month of 1921, according to
a report just made public by the Depart-
ment of Commerce. Of our October ship-
ments $110,177,499 was of manufactures
ready for consumption, $32,942,599 manu-
factures for further use in manufactur-
ing, and $133,703,000 was crude materials
for use in manufacturing. In all three
classes the October exports were consid-
erably greater than those of .October
1921. For the ten months ended with Oc-
tober, exports reached a total of $3,-
051,177,019, or approximately $700,000,-
000 less than for the same period of last
year.

Freight Car Movements

Continued unprecedented movement of
freight over the railroads of the coun-
try for this season of the year is indi-
cated by figures of freight loadings for
the week ended Sept. 25 just filed with
the American Railway Association by the
carriers. Loadings of revenue freight,
totaling 955,495 cars, were an increase of
282,030 cars over the corresponding week
last year, although a decrease of 13,599
cars from the preceding week, due large-
ly to the closing of navigation on the
Great Lakes. Loading of merchandise
and miscellaneous freight, which includes
manufactured products, totaled 564,124
cars, a gain of 145.474 cars over the cor-
responding week last year, and an in-
crease of 2607 cars over the preceding
week.

Employment Increasing

The expansion of employment through-
out the nation during the month of No-
vember was greater than in any month
since last Januarj', according to a month-
ly survey of the labor situation just
made public by the United States Em-
ployment Service. Still further expan-
sion would have occurred had it not been
for inadequate rail transportation, it is
declared. Reports secured from 1428
firms, each usually employing more than
500 workers, located in the 65 industrial
centers of the country, show that on Nov.
30 these concerns had 44,653 more em-
ployees on their payrolls than had been
reported on Oct. 31. Of the 65 leading
industrial cities surveyed, 52 reported in-
creased employment during the month,
and only eleven showed a decrease, em-
ployment in Jersey City and Bayonne,
N. J., remaining approximately the same
as it had during the preceding month.
"All manifestations point to a steady up-
ward trend in employment," declares the
chief of the Employment Service in issu-
ing the report. "The mounting increases
of the past twelve months give substantial
evidence of permanency."

White Arsenic

A thorough and exhaustive investiga-
tion into the present available supply of
white arsenic in the United States, and
a careful study of possible development
of additional sources of supply are to
be undertaken in the near future by the
Department of Agriculture, under the
terms of a resolution adopted by the Sen-
ate last week. The resolution author-
izes the Bureau of Entomology, in co-
operation with the Department of the
Interior and the United States Geologi-
cal Survey, to conduct the investigation
and report its findings to the Senate at
the earliest possible time. Because of the
value of white arsenic to the florist in-
dustry the investigation is considered a
timely step to ascertain just what re-
sources in this line the country possesses.

Customs Receipts"

Customs receipts for the fiscal year
1922 were $357,544,712, and not only ex-
ceeded the receipts for the previous fis-
cal year by $49,519,610, but were larger
than for any previous year in the Gov-
ernment's history, according to the an-
nual report just submitted to the Presi-
dent by Secretary of the Treasury Mel-
lon. The next large sum, $333,683,445, it is
pointed out, was collected in the fiscal
year 1910. While the emergency tariff
act, in removing many articles from the
free list, increased customs receipts, it
materially added to the work of the serv-
ice. Notwithstanding the increased vol-
ume of work, however, and the investiga-
tions made in connection with the gather-
ing of data for Congress for its use in
considering the tariff bill which was re-
cently enacted into law, the cost of oper-
ating the Customs Service for the fiscal
year 1922 was more than $50,000 under
that of the previous fiscal year. It is
estimated that the customs revenue for
the fiscal year 1923, most of which falls
under the new tariff act, will be about
$450,000,000, or in excess of any previous
year.

No Additional Taxes

No additional taxes will be sought by
the Treasury Department to assist it in
financing the Government through the
fiscal year 1924, according to the annual
report of the Secretary of the Treas-
ury, which has just been submitted to
the President. While pointing out that
the Revenue Act of 1921 did not become
effective in most of the important pro-
visions until Jan. 1, last, so that the
changes are still so recent as to make
it impossible to estimate their full effect
before the income tax returns for 1922
are filed and examined, it is not believed
that there will be any additional financ-
ing necessary. Such recommendations for
tax changes as are made in the Secre-
tary's report relate principally to a revi-
sion of the surtaxes and tax exempt se-
curities.
Hoover's Report on Business Outlook

The outstanding feature of the fiscal
year ended June 30 last was that it
marked the low point of the most vio-
lent commodity slump in our history, ac-
cording to the annual report jusrt submitted
to the President by Secretary of Com-
merce Hoover. The liquidation and de-
flation precipitated the commercial com-
munity into all the losses and unem-
ployment that flow from such occasions,
it was stated. It was inevitable that
we, in common with the rest of the
world, should readjust ourselves not only
from the inflated levels of the war, but
also from the still higher levels of the
wasteful postwar boom,

"Our recovery has been marvelously
rapid," points out Secretary Hoover "for
within sixteen months following the bot-
tom of the slump unemployment was prac-
tically extinguished and production was
proceeding up to between 85 and 95 per
cent of our normal. We have entered
into a period of lower and more stable
prices with its consequent much sounder
and more stable business. The tremen-
dous shock of the slump together with the
aftermath of the war will require some
time yet for complete recovery, and
speculation is in no way justified. Never-
theless, the outlook is so improved over
a year ago as to be scarcely comparable."

The amalgamation of all activities of
the Government affecting industry, trade
and navigation in the Department of
Commerce is recommended by the Secre-
tary, who declares that direct savings of
upward of $1,000,000 per annum in ad- ^
ministration could be made and many
times this amount given to the public in
increased values and service by the elim-
ination of overlap, duplication and lack
of concentration of purposes. "A great
deal of study has been given during the
year to reorganization in the Department
in order that it may more effectively
serve American commerce and industry
and effect economies in Federal adminis-
tration," it is declared. "The Depart-
ment of Commerce was created 'to fos-
ter, promote and develop the domestic and
foreign commerce, mining, manufacture,
shipping and fishing industries and the
transportation facilities.' Excluding all
of the semi-judicial functions in the
Government respecting these matters and
excluding the Shipping Board, there are
still a large number of functions of the
import designated in the organic act
which are administered outside the De-
partment."

The Market

Dec. 9.— The weather thus far, with
the exception of one cold snap, has been
as warm as that of the average Pall day
and the people of this city have almost
forgotten what those little black lumps
of mineral called coal really look like.
The continued warmth is having its ef-
fect on the florist business, for the out-
door gardens continue to bloom their
prettiest and fill many needs which
should mean orders for the trade at this
time of the year. Sales, therefore, con-
tinue to hang a little below the last
year mark.

The first part of the week opened bright
and sunny, but during the latter part
the weather god seems to have been
saying it with showers rather than flow-
ers. Colder weather is expected as a
result and orders are picking up already.
There is plenty of stock on hand, no mat-
ter to what limit the calls may go. Prices
last week took a jump in anticipation of
better business and are expected to hold
their own from now until after the holi-
days.

The first shipments of Christmas trees
have arrived and a number of the local
florists and seedsmen are advertising the
fact by tying them to posts at advanta-
geous spots throughout the city. The
many large department stores and shops

are putting on their Yuletide costumes
and some business is being secured by
the trade in this line. Holly is here and
Smilax, and while it is a little too early
for many sales the florists are making
use of it in- decorating their own win-
dows. A great part of the Holly is be-
ing shipped in from Alabama.

Christmas Cherries are putting in an
appearance arriving in fine condition
from Chicago. The Poinsettias are gen-
erally grown locally and all of the shops
exhibit them at this time.

Some fine specimens of Cyclamen are
seen on the local market being shipped in
from California as well as Chicago and
the demand is rather strong. The first
Paperwhite Narcissi of the season were

seen in stock last week. Violets are com-
ing in in larger quantities and the de-
mand is picking up; they are retailing
for $1 a bunch, and are often worn in
corsages at the races. A few Tuberoses
continue to hang over while Chrysanthe-
mums, although not of best quality, are
still a factor on the market.

Entomologist Coming

C. A. Weigel, entomologist _ in
charge of greenhouse insect investigation
work, Washington, D. C, who spent sev-
eral months investigating the camphor
scale situation in New Orleans last year,
will be here early in January to conduct

New Orleans

(Continued from page 1606)
an investigation into the effect of fumi-
gation against the camphor scale on plant
life. Mr. Weigel recently left New Or-
leans (after a few days spent here on
his honeymoon) for Biloxi, Miss., and
from there will go to Norfolk, Boston
and Washington.

News Notes

The Metairie Ridge Flower Shop lo-
cated on Carondelet st., in charge of J.
G. Schattmaier, has just put in its
Christmas window display; in spite of the
fact that we live in New Orleans and may
be thought to have a biased opinion on
the matter, we venture to say that it is
one of the prettiest anywhere in the
country. ' The background is a pale green
screen with a dark green panel border of
velvet, and gracefully draped over the
screen and about the flooring is a velvet
panel of the same color. A large white
marble statue of Venus is shown off in
good relief against the screen, while to
the left is another marble figure. In the
foreground are placed four or five bas-
kets and vases filled with Poinsettias,
each with a green paper covering tied to
the basket handle with a large bow of
red ribbon through which runs a gold
stripe. Several pots of ferns — just
enough to add the right touch of green
and not too many to crowd — are placed
artistically among the baskets. The whole
effect is truly striking and is attracting
much attention in the city.

Frank J. Reyes received oc Friday his
carload of Christmas trees (about 2000
in number) and is busy sorting them out
and delivering some to other florists. The
stock arrived in excellent condition and

Columbus, Ga.

Dec. 7. — Business is improving very
slowly, not enough to cause any florist
to go into raptures. Thanksgiving was
very little over the ordinary, every day
call.

The recent frost having killed all out-
door flowers, one would naturally conclude
that business would' become active, but
such is not the case. Chrysanthemums
are over except a few late varieties in
the nouses of the Rose Hill establish-
ment.

Not many inquiries thus far for
Christmas flowers, but like other places,
there may be a rush at the last moment,
although no fancy prices will prevail.

The long continued dry spell held back
the handling of any great amount of
landscape work, but the copious showers
of the past few days will permit plant-
ing that should have been done a month
ago.

Alabama Notes

Opelika

Opeleka. — A brief visit to the Opelika
Floral Co. was a surprise to the writer,
a finer lot of stock could not be produced
in this climate. The Chrysanthemums
were superb, although they did not grow
a large number. The Carnations were
wonderful, too4 consisting of the new
white Thos. Joy, Mrs. Ward, Maine Sun-
shine, which will be discarded, not suc-
ceeding in this warm climate; Laddie
and some others under trial. It is re-
freshing to see some of the newer sorts
being grown, as the Enchantress family
has been considered the only varieties
that could be produced at a profit in this
section.

Business thus far has been very sat-
isfactory; most of the firm's product is
shipped to neighboring cities although
their funeral trade is heavy. They are
experimenting with "Violets atad other
plants which have not been successfully
grown in this section.

Montgomery

Montgomery. — With the Rosemont
Gardens business has been on the up-
grade for some time, the month of No-
vember showing an increase of 40 per
cent over any previous Fall month. The
stock is in A-l condition and florists look
for a record breaking business for the
holidays.

Roses are fine and will be enough for
all calls; Carnations are not so good as
in former_ seasons, due to the hot, dry
season, being drawn and weak in stems,
but cold weather will bring them up
stronger. Sweet Peas are good; 'Mums
could not be improved upon.

In pot plants Cyclamen and Begonia,
Pride of Rosemont have the call;
the latter supersedes all varieties of the
Chatelaine class. Of Cyclamen I saw
three large houses mostly in full bloom,
ranging from 5in. pots and up, and or-
ders are rushing in. Funeral and wed-
ding orders have been good.

Louisville, Ky.

Florist Grower Burned Out

Dee. 9. — Andrew Stickler, 90 years
of age, Silvertown, Clark County, Ind.,
across the river from Louisville, suffered
severe burns and a nervous shock, when
the house and greenhouses of his son,
James W. Stickler, were burned on Dec.
5, from a blaze of unknown origin, which
suddenly broke through a ceiling in the
second floor of the house. The aged Mr.
Strickler discovered the fire, and in an
effort to put it out, his clothing caught
fire Members of the family rushed to
his aid, and when firemen arrived, a
small boy, a grandson, was putting out
the blazing clothing with a garden hose.
While the burns should not prove fatal,
the nervous shock, and a chill produced
by the cold water, may result in death.
Mr. Stickler is at St. Edwards Hospital
and his condition is serious.

The house and greenhouses burned rep-
resent a loss estimated at about $5000.
A fire truck from New Albany became
mired in the mud and was unable to reach
the fire. While a truck from Jefferson-
ville got through, it was forced to depend
on chemical tanks in fighting the blaze
as there was not sufficient water at hand
to fill the pumps. There was no insur-
ance carried on the buildings.

Atlanta, Ga.

Arthur Kline of the Dahl Floral Co.
closed the store at 7.30 Friday evening
and was wending his way homeward
when the coolness of the evening re-
minded him that he had left his coat at
the store, and displaying his usual good
judgment, he retraced his steps to procure
his coat. It was fortunate that ne did,
for upon entering the store, he heard
noises in the basement that were not
supposed to be there, and upon investi-
gating he surprised two men who were
beginning an inventory of all the objects
of value that could easily be removed. It
is needless to say that their work came
to an abrupt end. We are glad that the
men left without completing their inven-
tory, and Mr. Kline is glad he went back
after his coat.

S. S. Gibbs has been enjoying a hunt-
ing trip to south Georgia this past week.

We are sympathizing with G. M. Mur-
phy of the Empire Nurseries in the death
of his father this past week. B. W. S.

Christmas Suggestions

For the Country Florist

Specimen plants of Cyclamen, Poinset-
tias, Begonias and others, don't need
much dressing up in order to make ideal
Christmas plants. Besides such, how-
ever there is always a demand for smaller
sized plants such as are made more at-
tractive when used in baskets in connec-
tion with other plants. A small Cycla-
men or Begonia or a short 4in. Poinsettia
in an inexpensive basket with a few
Adiantum or other ferns, suitable rib-
bon and other trimmings, will bring as
much as a single specimen plant and at
the same time, prove far more profitable.

Don't hesitate in using Statice, Gypso-
phila, Ruscus, cones, grasses, Poppy pods
or anything else in that line if it will
help to make attractive plant basket ar-
rangements. The city florist does and so
should the country florist. If there is a
chance to sell baskets with Boxwood and
Ruscus in it and you can realize a fair
price for them why not fill and sell as
many as possible? Even if you have a
large stock of plants on hand, always push
for Christmas, stock which can only be
sold for that day. It is time enough to
push other things when the perishable
items are sold. And don't confine your-
self to plants alone.

Baby Rambler Roses

For the Retail Grower

You may not find it profitable to force
the Baby Rambler and other Roses you
need for Easter. With them, as with
Lilium giganteum, it is easy enough to
know how to do it or have some one tell
you all about it and yet it hardly ever
pays the florist to handle either of them
for Easter flowering if he makes a side
line of it. On the other hand, both will
pay if he plants and figures on handling
his stock so as to have the plants in
flower, say from the middle of May on.
With the Baby Ramblers field stock pot-
ted up now in a stiff soil, each pot pro-
vided with proper drainage -and the
freshly potted plants thoroughly watered
and placed in a deep frame, they can
remain there until the early part of
February. After that, they should go
into a 45deg. house, always kept well
watered, and allowed slowly to break.
But little pruning is required. Later on,
increase the temperature to 50 deg. and
in a Carnation house, the sun during
April will warm things up sufficiently
to have the plants set bud and start to
flower toward the middle of May. You
won't have any mildew because you have
no soft foliage. You will sell plants
around Memorial Day and can recommend
them for bedding out.

Primulinus Gladioli

Desirable for Indoor Flowering

If you are going to flower Gladioli un-
der glass this Winter or rather next
Spring, don't overlook the Primulinus
varieties. They are not as large in the
spikes or individual flower as the others,
but are especially good for early work,
as they bloom fully ten days sooner.
Again, you will find them more graceful
and therefore fully as valuable as the big
fellows. For those short of room, it may
be well to consider planting two or three
bulbs in a 5in. half-pot, the first batch
about the end of this month and place
them in a cool house below a bench. Five
in. half pots are to be preferred, for in
such, you won't have to disturb the roots
of the plants later on when you are
ready to plant them out on the bench
where one hardly ever has more than 5in.
of soil to plant in. If the plants, when
a couple of inches high are placed on a
sunny bench, they can remain in the pots
up to the early part of February; by
that time you may have more room or a
bench may be on hand when they can be
planted. Still another way is to plant
three bulbs in a 6in. pot. In these they
can be flowered nicely. This may be
well to consider by the smaller grower.

Are You One?

The man who coined the word "Peptimist" told me that a peptimist rep-
resents the true spirit of our times. He is a live, wideawake, hustling
optimist. He works with his hands, heart and head; he accomplishes things,
builds and creates; he looks ahead and up; he sees the good in others and
cooperates with them to do still greater things. Everything looks rosy to
him, because he helps make it so; he doesn't undersell, because he works
and strives to produce better goods, more attractively displayed, and for
the extra service he renders, his patrons are only too glad to pay a better
price. Every florist should be a "Peptimist."

Bedding Begonias

Soon Time to Sow Seed

If you use Begonias for bedding, I
doubt whether there is a better variety
than Chatelaine. And yet there is room
for others of the semperflorens type
which we usually grow from seed. You

or the made up wreaths as you could
wish for; there is just enough moisture
in a frame to suit the Holly but don't
make the mistake to wet your wreaths
and pack away ten or twenty wreaths in
a pile, for this, inside of a week or so,
will result in black, spotted leaves. Re-
pack your cases when they reach you;

Wicker basket containing Poinsettia plant and Cyrtomium falcatum, a

simple, inexpensive yet effective combination. The plants may be left in

the pots and thereby obviate a check to the Poinsettia

can sow seed of such sorts, as Vernon,
Luminosa or Prima Donna in February
and obtain large enough plants for bed-
ding out during May, but in order to
produce a heavy 4in. plant, bushy and in
full bloom yet grown cool, seed should be
sown by the end of December or early
January. It goes without saying that
seed of Begonias should never be covered.
SoW in pans on a finely sifted soil, after
the soil has had a thorough watering.
Press the seeds gently into the surface
and cover the pans with shaded glass. A
good bottom heat is necessary and keep-
ing the soil in the pans evenly moist
with a Scolley sprinkler. That holds good
with all small seeds. Seedling Begonias
are slow growers and not less than 55
degs. should be maintained in the house.
A sandy soil and early transplanting
from the seed pans prevents damping off.
It won't hurt to order all your seed re-
quirements now.

Holly and Holly Wreaths

Avoid Waste

Cut Holly, like Boxwood, will soon be-
come worthless in a hot, dry atmosphere.
On the other hand, if kept in a cool,
dark place, it will keep for weeks in
good condition. It isn't enough to obtain
a good price for a Holly wreath or when
sold as branches; fully as important is
to avoid waste. A deep, frost proof
frame is as good a place to store Holly

select the long brandies to be sold as
such and make use of the short ones for
wreaths. Don't allow any of the green to
lay about in a hot workroom over night.
And before you store the branches away,
tie them into bunches of 50c, 75c. or
$1 each; this will save a lot of time later
on when the orders go out.

Chrysanthemums

About Saving Stock Plants

To carry over cut down plants of
Chrysanthemums for stock to propagate
from during early Spring is an easy mat-
ter. Nor is there much trouble in rooting
the cuttings, and yet I doubt whether it
pays the smaller grower to do so. Us-
ually, he is crowded for space and needs
every inch of bench room, or he will
have to make four or five different lots
of cuttings in order to obtain the num-
ber of plants he needs of each variety.
To my mind, he is as well, if not better
off to place his order for what he needs
with the specialist and have his rooted
cuttings shipped in Spring when ready
for them. I am sure if he would keep
a correct record for what it costs him to
grow on a rooted cutting, it would run
much above $30 or $40 per 1000, the
price of many standard varieties, es-
pecially of Pompons, are usually offered
for and, in most cases, he will obtain a
higher quality of stock than is possible
for him to produce.

Larkspur Under Glass

For Early Spring Flowering Sow Now

Good time now to sow annual Larkspur
for early Spring flowering and while
seed can be sown in rows across the
bench or solid bed, a better way, espec-
ially if you don't grow a whole housefull,
is to sow in flats, transplant the seed-
lings into 214s when large enough to
handle and plant out later on. No mat-
ter what you do, it will require almost
four months before the plant will come
into bloom and that holds good with
almost any of the annuals you sow now.
They won't do much for the next eight
weeks, but new life will get into every-
thing when we get into February. An-
nual Larkspur, white, pink and. light
blue always make desirable cut flowers
for store trade and while we get nice
spikes during the Summer months out-
doors, they are nothing compared with
those you cut from a solid bed during
March and April under glass. If you
have the room to spare or will have
after Christmas, sow some seed now.

A New Late 'Mum

Among the various new Chrysanthe-
mums to gain the coveted E. C. C. of
the N. C. S. (British) is Golden But-
terfly, raised by Mr. Scott of Witley, he
being the son of the grower at Lowe &
Shawyers, the largest commercial 'Mum
growers in the world. Golden Butter-
fly is a decorative or commercial Japan-
ese and it was shown as a pot plant
bearing eight flowers, each about 6in.
across from crown buds. It was exhib-
ited on Nov. 28, gaining both the N. C.
S. award and the R. H. S. award of
merit. From terminal buds it blooms
about Christmas. The color is clear
golden yellow and the flower has plenty
of solidity. It will be introduced next
Spring.

A Big Indoor Vine

The big vine which fills a large house
on the great Grape growing establish-
ment of D. Buchanan, Kippen, Scotland,
this year beat its own record by carry-
ing 2032 bunches of fruit averaging 1 lb.
4 ozs. each, all in first class condition.
Assuming the fruit marketed at 50c. a lb.,
a moderate estimate, this vine brought
the grower an excellent return.

The Use of Catalpa Bungei
as a Low Growing Tree

Some Suggestions for Additional Planting
on Suburban Properties

THERE are often times when a
small tree for ornamentation
— and possibly a sligbt
amount of shade — but one that
will never grow high enough to
shut out a pleasing vista from
the house. We have seen trees
used for this purpose which
after a time exceeded the
height desired and the owners
lopped off the tops to preserve the
view. Such a method is sure to
make the plant throw up stronger
shoots which soon require another
"heading" and the plant loses its
natural beauty. The pruning may
be done along more scientific lines
without marring the natural out-
line of the tree. But pruning
must be done and it is a tree
which will not need this pruning
which should be selected for such
a position.

Suitable small trees are Dog-
wood, Japanese Maples, Crataegus
or Hawthorn, Magnolias, Flower-
ing Crab, Peach and Cherry,
Mountain Ash, Aralia spinosa and
Styrax japoniea. All are well
known and splendid subjects when
appropriately used. But we wish
to submit an illustration of Ca-
talpa Bungei or Umbrella Tree ad-
mirably filling such a position, al-
though it is not a tree which
would likely be recommended for
this purpose. Its formality might
be objectionable, yet it must be
conceded that there is no danger

customer wants a

of its ever growing too high and in this instance the
planter has used good judgment in leaving a liberal
space between trees, allowing them to show as indi-
vidual and to be well located in relation to the house
As a suggestion for additional planting — there may
be florists or nurserymen who have problems similar
to the one shown in our illustration — we believe a
single medium size plant -(evergreen or deciduous
shrub) would be appropriate in front of the rain
spout. In shrubs a Spiraea Van Houttei, Viburnum

An ornamental tree is often required where a shade tree of large growth would be inappropriate. Shrubs

are inaffective very often in special cases of this kind. The above photograph shows the desired result

obtained with the use of Catalpa Bungei

tomentosum, Dwarf Lilac or Mock Orange, Hydran-
gea Hortensia, H. arborescens grandiflora or Japa-
nese Holly (Ilex crenata) would fill the bill. In
evergreens a Betinispora, Biota, Thuja or Taxus
would keep within bounds. Avoid large growing sub-
jects like Pine, Fir and Spruce. Although these are
frequently seen planted close to the base of buildings
(especially by building operators who want inexpen-
sive immediate effects and care little for the future
of the plants) it is apparent that they cannot mature
in such a location and their period
of usefulness is limited. In addi-
tion to one of the evergreens sug-
gested, one might extend the
planting in a bed along the base
of house, using very dwarf plants
that will keep below the base of
window. Such plants as Coton-
easter horizontalis, Prostrate
Yew, Azaleas, Daphne Cneoruni
and prostrate Junipers offer a
good selection. We would also
like to see the step piers covered
with Euonymus radicans or vege-
tus. On the terrace between the
two flights of steps is a good posi-
tion for a pair of specimen cut
leaf Japanese Maples, Weeping
Cherry, Box Bush or Swiss Stone
Pine. The capstones afford an
opportunity for the florist to fur-
nish urns of flowering plants in
Summer and evergreens in Winter.
There are many suburban prop-
erties which could be beautified by
additional planting and most own-
ers are receptive to suggestions
from the nurserymen or florist of
appropriate plants for this pur-
pose. Here then is a field for
more business if you have a sales-
man or solicitor with good ideas
who can make a sketch and con-
vince the prospect that such addi-
tional planting enhances the value
of a property and is an invest-
ment, not an expense.

More Interstate Restrictions

Shall We Leave "United" Out of "United States ?"

Nursery Editor, The Flobists Exchange,

Dear Sir :

N. L. AVillett of Augusta, Ga., the well known seeds-
man of that city, recently called attention in the Na-
tional Nurseryman to the law lately passed by the
legislature of Georgia respecting the shipment of nur-
sery stock into the State from sources without the
State. At the moment the writer is not in posses-
sion of the full context of this law, but it is suf-
ficient to say that the law demands all nurserymen .
outside the State to put up a thousand dollar bond,
to purchase special permit tags for use on all ship-
ments, and to carry out other burdensome and ex-
pensive provisions, the carrying out of which few if
any nurserymen will even attempt, preferring to cut
out the State of Georgia as a possible sales terri-
tory. ,

Mr. AVillett makes the statement that "if all
States had a similar law the whole nursery trade
of the United States would quit business." Unfor-
tunately other States have a similar law, and it is a
matter of no little concern to what further lengths
such autocratic legislation may be carried. Inter-
national restrictions are bad enough, but when we are
compelled to face similar, restrictions as from State
to State it would seem time to leave "United" off
the United States.

The State of Idaho demands from outside nurse-
ries a $5000 bond and payment of $10 for license. The
State of Montana demands that all stock coming into

tlic State be unpacked and inspected at one of sev-
eral stations, and special fees of $10 per car down
lna minimum of 25 per cent for one package. Okla-
homa calls for a $1000 bond and $5 for special
license. South Carolina has restrictive measures suf-
ficient to terrify most nurserymen. Utah has similar
measures. Virginia demands a special license fee
of $10 ; West Virginia one of $20, with tags to match.

Just why the nursery trade is continually subjected
lu these ruinous conditions would seem hard to un-
derstand, especially when such laws do not, even if
it were necessary, serve their purpose. Indeed, these
laws but serve to keep the responsible nurserymen
out, and to give the unscrupulous their chance by
deception and unfair means when thusi protected
from outside competition.

This brief note is written with the view of possibly
creating some united action and interest in a matter
which is or should be of very deep concern to the
trade as a whole.

California Develops Under Qu. 37

By Geo. C. Roeding, President California
Nursery Company, in San Francisco Business

California in her history and development is al
ways surprising, and possibly in no direction more
so than in her economic and ornamental horticulture.
Her people in their active moods are never in a condi-
tion suggesting a state of mind between wind and
water, hay and grass ; quite to the contrary, they

tackle their problems with an address and an enter-
prise that are extraordinary.

This resistless energy is as pronounced in one line
of activity as in another ; it was as virile in the days
of the Argonauts as it is in the days of the automo-
bile and the electric light; it finds exemplification
in our supremacy in the production of mineral wealth
and petroleum and in the magnitude of California's
fruit production. And while much has been said, and
deservedly so, of our financial, manufacturing and
mercantile interests, their growth, development and
future possibilities, little has ever been done to em-
phasize the initiative, the enterprise and the achieve-
ments of the California commercial plantsmen, as
well as of the volume, value and ultimate magnitude
of California's commercial nursery plant industry.

This industry has a record as full of romance as
one of Bret Harte's stories, and as pregnant with
achievement as the early careers of the founders of
San Francisco. As early as 1848 the growing of
fruit trees and flowering plants was a business in
primitive Sacramento; when California was admitted
as a State in 1S50 there was an exhibit given in Sac
Francisco of garden and field crops and ornamental
foliage and flowering plants.

Five years later we have record of several florist
and nursery establishments in San Francisco and
other Bay towns, which were numerically increased
during the sixties to cover all the large centers of
population then on the map.

It is interesting to note that up to and during the
initial days of the advent of transcontinental railway
transportation the growing of fruit trees and orna-
mental nursery products was a fifty-fifty proposition;
but beginning with the early seventies and continuing
for about 40 years the demand for fruit trees and

Tree Planting in D. C.

Washington, D. C. — The commission-
ers again make a plea for additional land
for the nursery at Fort Dupont, which
is used for the propagation of trees for
street planting. It is pointed out that
there is not enough ground available in
the present tract to grow the total num-
ber of trees necessary to keep pace with
the rapid growth of the city. During the
fiscal year 1922, there were 1535 Norway
Maple, 542 Red Maple, 828 Red Oak,
1393 Pin Oak, and 228 Elm seedlings
planted in the nursery rows.

At the end of the fiscal year there
were a total of 105,889 trees planted
along the curbs in the streets of the Dis-
trict of Columbia. Nearly all of the trees
planted during the year were for the
purpose of filling vacancies in existing
rows. No systematic trimming was un-
dertaken during the year, but to offset
this, a "floating gang" accomplished much
trimming on individual requests. It is
the intention of the Commissioners to
resume systematic trimming of all trees
in the near future.

The report points out that unless action
is taken in the near future to acquire cer-
tain properties which have been urged
for some years past as additions to the
park system, it will be impossible to do
so because of the fact that buildings are
already being erected on the borders of
these sites. The sites suggested will
form important links in the chain of
parks which it is intended to have en-
tirely surround the District.

Growth of Famous Nursery

The Storrs & Harrison Co., Paines-
ville, O., has the unique distinction of be-
ing the largest nursery and greenhouse
combined in the world. This business
was established in 1854 with a very hum-
ble beginning, something like one or two
acres of land and one greenhouse. It
progressed steadily from year to year,
and raised from a firm of insignificance
to one of importance, increasing its stock,
acreage and buildings, until today there
are 2000 acres under cultivation, 49
greenhouses, packing houses and storage
cellars that, when filled contain several
hundred carloads, coldframes and propa-
gating frames which, if placed in one
single row, would reach one and a half
miles.

In addition to all this the dwellings of
the employees of the company make a
settlement by themselves. In other words,
it is commonly known as the Storrs &
Harrison Co. village. These dwellings are
occupied by the executives and em-
ployees.

During its 68 years of operation there
has never been known to be a lull in

business. The company has always main-
tained a high standard with its custom-
ers by following the Golden Rule and
this alone has proven to be a bulwark
in time of depression. So it is the Storrs
& Harrison Co. went steadily on during
these many years and report the heaviest
Fall sales in their history. In connection
with their nurseries and greenhouses is
the large seed department which is sec-
ond to none and bears the name of "The
Old Reliable."

The officers of the Storrs & Harri-
son Co. are as follows: General Manager,
Robert George; assistant manager and
superintendent of greenhouses, E. B.
George; secretary, John H. Dayton;
treasurer, Claude H. Shumaker; chief
accountant, Burr T. Belden; seedsman,
H. L. McLellan; head of sales depart-
ment, Howard S. Chard. T. J. M.

Fire Loss at Moon's Nurseries

At 2 o'clock on the morning of Dec.
4, a fire was discovered in the office of
the Wm. H. Moon Co., Morrisville, Pa.,
by the night fireman-watchman. Im-
mediately he sounded an alarm. In a
few minutes men employed in the organi-
zation, housed on the premises, were at
the scene of the fire with a fire equip-
ment of chemical, kept constantly in
readiness for such an emergency. With
this equipment, they held the fire in re-
straint until engines from Morrisville
had responded to a 'phone call. In addi-
tion to the chemical extinguisher used by
the; Morrisville and the Yardley com-
panies, a hose line was run from the
Pennsylvania canal nearby, so that in
about a half hour the fire was extinguish-
ed. It was found that the cause of the
fire likely had been a faulty gas pipe
emitting gas, which became ignited when
it reached the boiler employed as a
heater for the building.

Letter files of the company were badly
damaged. The mailing lists were also
partially destroyed along with some of
the desks and furniture. In going over
the letter files and cards that composed
the mailing list, it was discovered that
many at first thought completely dam-
aged were legible, but the mass of
charred, smoky papers has caused a state
of confusion with this part of the of-
fice records that is bound to give a good
deal of inconvenience for months to come.

The heat in the office building badly
scorched the structure and cracked the
plaster. The smoke further damaged the
walls so that it will be necessary to en-
tirely renovate the inside of the build-
ing. The exterior, however, is in a sub-
stantial and good condition. On the ruins
of the boiler room there is already un-
der way a new addition to the office build-
ing, which is much needed by our firm

completed and renovations made, we again
hope to have the comfortable, attractive

The extent of the damage is not yet
fully known, but we presume it to be in
the neighborhood of $3000, well covered
by insurance.

— In their loss the Wm. H. Moon Co.
has the sympathy of the nursery trade;

California Develops Under Qu. 37

(Continued from page 1613)

vines was out of all proportion to the
then limited sale of ornamental plants.

These fifty years probably represent
the greatest and most widely diversified
development in fruit culture the world
has ever witnessed. Taking its inception
at a time when our export trade in or-
chard and vineyard products stood at
zero, it reached its apex in 1919, when
the gross turnover in California pomolog-
ical products was over three hundred
millions of dollars.

During this flourishing and active era
of orchard development the nursery plant
business grew in a corresponding ratio,
single establishments like the MaeRorie-
McLaren Co., San Mateo; C. C. Morse &
Co., San Francisco; Silva-Bertholdt Co.,
Newcastle; Cottage Garden . Nurseries,
Eureka; Charles C. Navlet Co., San Jose;
Roy F. Wilcox & Co., Montebello; Henry
A. Hyde Co., Watsonville; Charles How-
ard, Hemet; H. Plath, San Francisco;
California Nursery Co., Niles and Loom-
is; John S. Armstrong, Ontario; R. M.
Teague, San Dimas; Leonard Coates Co.,
Morganhill; Kirkman Nurseries, Fresno;
Howard & Smith, Los Angeles; the Fan-
cher Creek Nurseries and the Fresno
Nursery. Co., Fresno; Rhuel-Wheeler Co.,
San Jose; besides others of note, all lit-
erally growing trees and vines by the
million, representing investments and an
annual gross turnover of large dimen-
sions.

With the decade closing in 1910 the
demand in fruit trees reached its zenith,
which during later years has assumed
more normal conditions. It represents,
however, the development and fruition of
the greatest fruit producing people the
world has ever seen.

With the decline in fruit tree growing
certain epochal events transpired greatly
to stimulate the commercial ornamental
plant business in California. The first
was the enactment by Congress in 1912
of a Federal plant quarantine law as
protection against the introduction of
foreign insect pest and plant diseases,
which levy an annual toll on American
agriculture of two billions of dollars.

During the first few years of its opera-
tion it admitted foreign plant products
under certification at points of origin.
Experience proving that this method was
ineffective, the United States Department
of Agriculture made a ruling absolutely
quarantining foreign plant products
(with here and there an exception) under
specific rules and regulations.

Naturally this shut off all European
supplies, aggregating millions of dollars
in value. During this same period the
European war intervened, when all trans-
Atlantic and trans-Pacific business, other
than that of a military nature, was prac-
tically out of commission.

But this was not all. In many cases
the commercial plant business in France
and Belgium was ruined by the devasta-
tion of military operations, and in other
cases allowed to decline for want of man
power for its operation and markets for
the disposition of its products. This nat-
urally threw this country on its own re-
sources for necessary supplies of nursery
and florist products. Here certainly was
an opportunity opened for California.

It is not generally known outside of the
industry that many of the plants here-
tofore imported in great quantities from
Europe can be grown with equal success
in California, a fact to which commer-
cial bodies should be keenly alive, be-
cause it means the creation of new indus-
tries and new lines of activities. There
is no reason why we should not, and
every _ reason why we should secure the
American markets for the varied orna-

Nursery Grown Christmas Trees

It's Also an Opportune Time to Use

Berried Plants from the Nursery for

Decorations to Stimulate their Sale

With Christmas comes the perennial
question: Why not offer nursery grown
Fir and Spruce, with roots, to meet the
Christmas Tree trade?" Now, before the
ground freezes, is the time to pot up some
shapely specimens which, if placed on dis-
play in the business section (as is possible
with nearly all florists) is sure to attract
buyers. The fact that such plants may
serve as ornamental tubbed specimens
throughout the entire Winter, and may be
planted out in Spring into permanent lo-
cations is a feature that will command
for them a better price than trees cut
from the forests.

Or invite prospective customers to call
at the nursery to select their Christmas
Tree, an advantage over the forest tree
in that they can pick out the exact size
desired, of better shape, freshly cut
(which insures longer adherence of the
needles after being brought indoors and
trimmed) and, perhaps best of all, they
are sure of a tree. Those who depend
upon the corner merchant and have heen
disappointed at the last minute, either by
exorbitant prices or scarcity of stock, will
appreciate the advantage of selecting a
tree in the nursery.

If show space permits, Christmas is also
a good time to have twigs or branches of
the many berry-bearing trees and shrubs
on display in the office or store to book
orders for these plants for Spring de-
livery. Such exhibits form an interesting
feature in connection with Autumn Chrys-
anthemum shows and their possibilities
in attracting attention are still fresh in
the minds of many of us. Why not do
this in December?

The crimson berries of the deciduous
Holly (Ilex verticillata) are most attrac-
tive and we have seen branches of them
stuck in with Laurel (Kalmia) in Winter
window boxes with effective results. Of
course the English Holly is the most de-
sirable, but its lack of hardiness in the
North eliminates it with many nursery-
men and its less brilliant native cousin
(Ilex opaca) is substituted and is much
in demand. Then there is the Choke-
berry (Aronia), the Oleaster (Eleagnus),
Euonymus in evergreen and deciduous
species, the mauve berries of the Calli-
carpa, Berberis, not forgetting the season-
able Holly leaved one (B. illicifolia),
Matrimony Vine which, by the way,
though not evergreen, holds its foliage
longer than most deciduous plants. For
black berries we seek the Buckthorns
(Rhamnus) and even Privets. Viburnums
offer many, many species with possibilities
as berried subjects. The Bayberry (My-
rica cerifera) is a timely plant for
Christmas display of its waxy berries.
The White Snowberry (Symphoricarpos
racemosus) and Coral Berry or Indian
Currant (S. vulgaris) are desirable sub-
jects for decoration. The Crataegus of-
fers many possibilities, not forgetting the
evergreen one, C. pyracantha.

And so for Yuletide decorations there
are many appropriate berried plants
available in the nursery which may be
displayed to advantage in conjunction
with boughs of evergreens and indirectly
promote sales for these plants.

December Duties in the Nursery

In one way December, thus far, has
been most favorable for outdoor work in
the absence of severe frosts. Yet in an-
other respect the drought throughout Au-
tumn— in Pennsylvania at least — is like-
ly to have a telling effect upon plants in
their ability to withstand the Winter;
yes, and have an influence upon next
year's growth of many plants. On many
private places it is a practice, even in
normal seasons, to water evergreens thor-
oughly before the ground freezes, that
their foliage may be provided with a
supply of moisture to better withstand
the evaporation in Winter winds as well
as Spring temperatures "as the days be-
gin to lengthen the Sun begins to streng-
then," though the ground is still froz-
en. Nurserymen will do well to con-
sider the need of this treatment with
choice evergreens and to recommend it
to their clients.

This is the last call for sowing seed
out of doors and the first call to sow J

seed indoors. In the latter case many
herbaceous perennials may be started;
also such desirable plants as the Clema-
tis paniculata, which seed should be gath-
ered now if you have not already done
so. The digging of all plants wanted
for storage should follow the close of
your shipping season and this will clear
up many blocks for replanting. These
areas, if frost holds off, should be plowed
up and left in furrows over Winter. Use
a subsoil plow where conditions show it
desirable.

Mulch all plants that require it — Box
edgings, for instance, being benefited by
this treatment — and tie up all evergreens
likely to be broken by snow. This sort
of work is often the source of orders
from clients who do not employ a gar-
dener and leads to a little business when
nursery work is slack. Be sure that all
seeds, cleaned for Spring sowing, are in
a cool place, away from mice or rats, or
stratified in sand, as their needs require.

After duties requiring the working of
'the soil are completed, direct attention
to getting wood for the making of ever-
green cuttings. This is also a good
time, while we still have favorable warm
days, to spray for all scale insects. In-
spect plants thoroughly for these pests
and apply your favorite scalecide. Keep
a record of the proportions in the solu-
tion that you may increase the strength
should it not prove effective. Also keep
a list of the plants found to be infested
that you may give them another spraying
in Spring if necessary. It is also a good
time to prune up trees that need it, re-
moving the culls or crooked stock which
should have no place in a well kept nur-
sery. In the course of this work save
any heavy branches likely to be desirable
for packing in bales to protect plants
from breakage in shipment. Also put
aside smaller branches that you may wish
to use in Spring for attachment to trees
like the Pin Oak, to which a "leader" is
trained.

Have you been entirely satisfied with
your Autumn advertising campaign?
With your sales? This is a good time
to resolve to correct any shortcomings; to
map out improvements. It's not too early
to jot down innovations you intend to
put into practice next Spring. Inciden-
tally, perhaps a good photograph will
stimulate sales for that block of stock
which is moving slowly and which you
fear will become an unprofitable "sur-
plus." The Florists Exchange may pos-
sess that very photograph in its large col-
lection, which is available to you in the
printing of catalogs or circulars.

Seedless, Coreless Apple

A report comes from the recent meeting
of the Pomological and Fruit Growing
Society of the Province of Quebec, Can-
ada, at Macdonald College, St. Ann de
Bellevue, which will cause much comment.
It is the exhibit there of a seedless, core-
less Fameuse Apple. The exhibitor was
A. W. Buzzell, Abbotsford, Que. The
business of the meeting was almost for-
gotten in discussion of these strange
specimens.

The Apple was slightly more flattened
at the ends and a htle longer than the
ordinary Fameuse, but had the typical
Fameuse coloring and flavor. Every speci-
men was entirely seedless and coreless,
according to such reports as were avail-
able before going to press. Except for
a faint coloring of the flesh at the center,
the Apple is even without a vestigial core.

The Apples were found by Mr. Buzzell,
among fruit produced in a new orchard
just beginning to bear. It is not yet
known which of the new trees bears the
Phenomenal Apples. Of course, the crop
will be closely watched next year and the
tree located.

It is not known that, even if found, the
parent tree could be successfully grafted
or whether the coreless Apples will ap-
pear again on it this year. But the value
of such a tree, provided it proved itself
commercially, would be enormous, and
the effect on the fruit and nursery indus-
try would be profound.

Michigan Nurserymen

The meeting of the Michigan Associa-
tion of Nurserymen was held at Grand
Rapids, Mich., Dec. 7, at the Pantlind
Hotel.

About 25 Michigan nurseries were rep-
resented at this meeting, and an active
association for the State of Michigan was
formed, and the following officers elected
for the coming year:

President, B. J. Manahan, Detroit,
Mich.; vice-president, W. P. Ilgenfritz,
Monroe, Mich.; secretary-treasurer, C. A.
Krill, Kalamazoo, Mich.; executive com-
mittee, for two years, E. G. Greening,
Monroe, Mich.; Geo. A. Hawley, Hart,
Mich. For one year, R. J. Coryell, Birm-
ingham, Mich., and F. E. Beatty, Three
Rivers, Mich.

Constitution and by-laws were formu-
lated and accepted at this meeting, and
certain plans were made for close co-
operation with the National Association
of Nurserymen from now on.

It was decided to hold the annual meet-
ing each year in December, at the time
and place the Michigan Horticulture So-
ciety holds its meeting, as it was felt that
Michigan nurserymen and State horticul-
turists had a great deal in common, and
that the future success of Michigan fruit
depended a great deal on the cooperation
between the grower of the trees and the
producer of the fruit.

It is hoped that a good live program
will be arranged for the meeting of Dec.
1923. B. J. Manahan, President.

California Develops Under Qu. 37

(Continued from page 1615)
■nental plant products heretofore im-
rorted from Europe for our California
;rowers. Obviously to do so implies the
n-oduction of the particular varieties
;hat are in demand.

In certain directions splendid begm-
nngs have been made. In the matter of
Roses the number produced in what is
known as the San Jose district will be
about four million plants for Eastern ex-
port; Southern California will turn out
a million and a half more. In the mat-
ter of bulbous plants in Santa Cruz and
Monterey counties there is already a con-
siderable production, carload shipments
being a common occurrence. Palms, prin-
cipally Kentias, are being grown by the
million in Southern California, where the
climate permits of their culture without
artificial heat, and also Boxwoods, Arau-
carias, Ericas (Heather), and other flo-
rists' supplies.

At Eureka Azaleas, Rhododendrons,
tuberous rooted Begonias, Gloxinias and
other plant products are being grown for
the wholesale trade.

Indeed, if properly encouraged, it _ is
the judgment of those conversant with
the situation that in a comparatively few
years the gross annual turnover for gar-
den and field seeds, ornamental, nur-
sery plant products and florists' stocks
will aggregate over fifty millions of dol-
lars annually, giving it rank with the oth-
er great divisions of the State's rural
economics. Including all the divisions of
the plant industry, the total California
output will aggregate some 25 millions
of dollars. There is at present about
seven million sq. ft. of _ glass used in
greenhouse propagation in the State,
which will more than double in the im-
mediate future.

In the Federal census of 1910 Cali-
fornia occupied second place in the vol-
ume and value of commercial nursery
plant products, New York occupying first
place and Texas third. In the last Fed-
eral census we advanced to first place
with a total output of approximately
three million dollars' worth of nursery
plant products and a seed output of pos-
sibly 18 million dollars. A retrospect
glance at the industrial development of
the commercial plant industry in Cali-
fornia reveals, on the part of representa-
tive commercial bodies centered in cities,
the want of a proper appreciation of its
unique and potential achievement and
a real fellowship for the men and women
engaged in it.

If allowance is made for the fact that
the basic product, outside of land and
water, sunshine and rain, that made pos-
sible every orchard and vineyard, field
and garden in this State, represents the
labor and effort of our commercial plants-
men, we begin to realize and tvision
the stupendous and magnificent service
they have rendered.

Florida Takes Hold in Earnest

Tree Planting Week, December 8-15

"The Woman's Club in Sarasota, Fla.,
has arranged for planting 25 Hawaiian
Cocoanut (PaHro.3 along the streets m
their city, on Dec. 10, as a memorial to
the 25 departed members of the club.
Metal tags have been secured, each en-
graved with the name to be honored, and
one will be securely attached to the trunk
of each tree.

"The Rotarians, at their convention in
Tampa Nov. 14, had as one of the prin-
cipal subjects for discussion, the beauti-
fication of highways."

J. A. Young, the leader of "Plan to
Plant Another Tree," writes that he con-
siders this one of the most favorable
signs indicating the value of that move-
ment. It is peculiarly significant that
Concord, Ga., was the first city in Ameri-
ca to plant a tree for every man, woman
and child and that Florida is the first
State in the Union to put over a Tree
Planting Week without a State organi-
zation. Missouri has had a Tree Plant-
ing Week for some time. What Con-
cord, Ga., Woman's Club has done and
what the Florida Federation of Women's
Clubs have done can be repeated in every

The bi-monthly bulletin issued by the
Ehinebeck Floral Co., draws a picture
of Christmas shopping crowds and refers
to the fact that Violets are much favored
for corsages. A question put to florists
is: "Are you prepared to meet the de-
mand for Violets for Christmas?" It
might be well to figure it out.

Stamford (Conn.) Hort. Society

The Florida Development Board, 405
Consolidated Bldg., Jacksonville, Fla., an
organization for the development of the
State, puts over Tree Planting Week,
Dec. 8 to 15, under "Plan to Plant An-
other Tree." The following publicity has
been sent to all horticultural organiza-
tions, newspapers, clubs, etc.

"The week of Dec. 8 to 15 has been
designated by the Florida Federation of
Women's Clubs as tree planting week, es-
pecially for the purpose of beautifying
highways and home grounds. This ac-
tion was taken Nov. 24 at the convention
in Green Cove Springs, after Mrs. A. B.
Whitman of Orlando, chairman of con-
servation for the federation, had told
what has been done by some of the clubs
and other agencies, and had urged the
importance of making our public high-
ways more attractive.

"The Florida Development Board
recommends to the chambers of commerce
and other civic agencies that they co-
operate with the women's clubs in their
communities in furthering the highway
beautification work and that, so far as
possible, Live Oaks, Palms, Hibiscus,
Oleanders and other tropical plants be
c'.sed along the highways.

Passaic, N.J.

The establishment of a new firm, that
of Moles & Gillen, is announced this week.
It will do a general business in plants,
cuttings, bulbs, seeds, growers' supplies
and insecticides. It is now operating a
retail store at 227 Main ave., which will
continue to be the firm's headquarters.
Charles E. Moles is well known to the
trade, having traveled extensively among
the growers for the past 20 odd years.
Francis Gillen comes from the West,
where he has been successfully engaged in
other lines of business.

News Items

Dec. 11. — Thanksgiving trade was
satisfactory, but otherwise business is
just fair. With the exception of a few
'Mums, which can be seen in the show
windows, we are getting down to the
staple cut flowers, mainly Roses and
Carnations.

The Rosary, J- H. Parker, proprietor,
is making a side line of fancy greeting
cards and finds an increasing demand for
them. Mr. Parker has several men
painting and decorating the interior of
store. He also paints and guilds his own
baskets. Besides, he is going in quite
extensively in manufacturing his own ar-
tificial flowers. He reports funeral work
verv heavy.

Mrs. C. Jackson, 100 E. Water St.,
states that her F. T. D. orders are in-
creasing and she finds business most sat-
isfactory. F. W. Durand also reports
business good, especially his out of town
trade. Oswald Onas, his assistant, has
purchased a nice residence and finds it
both homelike and profitable.

R. M. Leavitt finds business excellent
at his present location.

Worcester, Mass.

The local florists report a very satis-
factory Thanksgiving trade, with about
ample stock to supply the demand. Since
the holiday, however, the weather has
been cloudy and the days dark, and the
flowers are not opening, so there is a
general shortage of cut flowers. 'Mums
are practically on their last legs. Stevia
is coming into the market in A. No. 1
condition. Cyclamen and Cleveland
Cherries are the big sellers in the potted
line; and they are, in most cases, of first
class quality. Orders are commencing
to come in for Boxwood, Laurel and
Hemlock wreaths.

Leonard Midgley, horticulturist, and
Glen H. Carruth, county club agent for
Worcester County Extension Service,
spoke one day last week at a meeting of
the Agricultural Club of North High
School. "Bulbs — Indoors and Outdoors,"
was Mr. Midgley's subject.

The Wiles of a Florist's Ad.

He saw an ad from day to day
And muttered: I defy them;

Their flowers may be just what they say,
But I'm not going to buy them.

As time wore on he made remarks

It would not do to mention,
For he was mad because that ad

Was forced on his attention.

But in a week, or two, or three,
He said: There's no denying

The way that ad gets hold of me —
The flowers may be worth trying.

For just about a fortnight more
He dared mere words to win him,

And then the ad completely had
Aroused the spender in him.

Next day he went into a store

And quietly expended
A few big iron dollars for

The flowers the ad commended.

He found they filled a long-felt need;

Their excellence surprised him;
And now he's glad because the ad

So deftly hypnotized him.

News Notes

Dec. 12. — The florist business has
been good the past week. Stock is not
over plentiful; a lot of funeral work is,
in a measure, responsible for this. There
are still some Pompon Chrysanthemums
to be seen. Carnations are scarce and
high in price for flowers of good quality;
$12 per hundred is being paid at whole-
sale.

Stewart Nitehie has a new house for
Carnations on the way and is doing his
own building.

The stores are stocking up in good
shape with supplies for the holidays.

At the municipal election last week,
John T. Allan (Jack), president of the
Newport Horticultural Society, made a
successful run for a place on the Board
of Aldermen to represent the Fourth

charge of John R. Drexel estate on

MacLellan to places on the Board of
Directors to represent the Newport Hor-
ticultural Society for the coming year.

Omaha, Neb.

The Market

Business on the whole is a little
quiet, but only as usual at this season of
the year. Outside of funeral work, there
is not much doing. Collections are very
poor and most retailers and wholesalers
claim to have more on their books than
at any time in the history of their busi-
ness.

The Rose supply is getting heavier each
day, and with the big grower, Premier
is the main end of the cut. But every-
thing is cleaning up nicely, for color and
guality were never better. All feel quite
appy over Christmas prospects. Short
Roses are making 4c, mediums 10c. to 16c,
while the best bring 25c. and 30c. each.
American Beauty is selling at 18c to 50c.
each. These are improving daily.

Carnations are a little scarce, and
wholesalers are asking §6 and $7 per 100.
Narcissus is moving well at 8c, in spite
of the small flowers; the growers cannot
supply the demand. Calendulas are heavy
at 5c. and 6c Violets are short and scarce
at 50c. per 100, but some of the little
neighboring towns are offering nice Vio-
lets at 75c per 100. Sweet Peas are be-
coming more plentiful at lYzC. to 3c. each.
Valley of a poor quality is heavy at 6c.
Yellow Narcissus is a poor seller at 15c,
and a more sick man you never saw than
the one who is growing it.

Cyclamen plants are unlimited at $1.50,
$2 and S3, and Poinsettias are coming in
nicely at $1.50 to $4.

News Notes

Bulb salesmen are as thick as cus-
tomers. Among recent visitors are H.
Luyk of Pereboom Co., Ben Baker of A.
Henderson Co., and A. Albert, represent-
ing the Florists Credit Association.

Mrs. M. Bath is still off duty and is
confined to her home with a nervous ail-
ment. * * ♦ John Garis is the new
comeback at the Louis Rogers store.

Mr. Bakker of the Henderson Co. has
spent considerable time in Omaha the past
two weeks, and feels highly elated over
his success, as his order book will testify.
It shows the largest number of sales and
weight of business of any of the salesmen
in Omaha for some time. Mr. Bakker
alone sold over 100,000 Valley pips for
Christmas forcing in Omaha.

The Omaha and Council Bluffs Florists
Club meets next Tuesday, and some real
work will be on, mainly the final decision
on the meeting of the Nebraska State
Horticulture Society, and the maintenance
of the electric "Say it with Flowers" and
S. A. F. Publicity Fund.

Chas. Green of Freemont was a caller
on Omaha florists last week, and showed
some real enthusiasm over the coming
meet of the Nebraska State Horticulture
and Florists meeting in Omaha, Jan. 10.

The Lewis Henderson establishment is
undergoing considerable change, both in
the name of the firm and layout of the
store. Harold Henderson, son of L. Hen-
derson, is to have active management,
assisted by Lewis Henderson's son-in-law.

Mr. Skop is cutting some wonderful
Sweet Peas, and is having no trouble in
disposing of them at $2 to $3 per 100.

News Notes

Chrysanthemums are still quite
plentiful. The crop has been nearly
two weeks late this year and has come
in gradually, so that most of it has
been marketed at a good price. Christ-
mas stock is beginning to come in and
most of the retailers are busy preparing.
The weather has been cold and stormy,
but without much snow so far.

W. T. March of the Hoyt Nursery has
been laid up with a strained back, ac-
quired in handling large evergreens.

A. M. Brand of the Brand Nursery
sustained several broken ribs when
caught between a load of hay and a door
casing in his barn.

James Souden of Holm & Olson has
been seriously ill in the hospital for two
weeks past, but is progressing favor-
ably.
_ The Northern Nurserymen's Associa-
tion held its annual meeting in St. Paul,

II COMMERCIAL 1
I FLORICULTURE |

Extracts from Letters: ||

[To Feitz Bahe from Cael Cbopp, Secretary and Treasurer

Vaughan's Seed Store, Chicago]

Many thanks for your book. I shall always keep it near me

for reference. Your articles in The Exchange were always

a delight to me and I am sure they and your book are greatly 1 1

11 appreciated by the craft. fl

My Dear Mr. De La Mare :

I am in receipt of my copy of Fritz Bahr's "Commercial
Floriculture," and wish to congratulate you on the publica-
tion of this most valuable book, which I consider a need for
every florist. It gives in plain language useful hints to the
beginner, as well as to the "Old Guard," on how to do bigger
business and make more profits.

I like the book and the reading has not tired me, rather held
my interest from beginning to end.

I wish you the success it fully deserves.

Very sincerely yours,

929 Prouty ave., Toledo, Ohio. J. L. Schiixee.

Grower of Primulas, etc.

L. P. Barbour, Belfast, Me., who has just recently received
his copy, writes that (without irreverence), "It should be
dubbed the 'Florists' Bible.' "

Recently I called on E. F. Winterson, wholesale florist of
Chicago, with whom 1 have done business for the last 25 years
or more, and much to my surprise, he handed me a copy of
the Fritz Bahr book. I had been reading Mr. Bahr's articles
in The Exchange for years. I always look them up the firsL
thing when the paper reaches me. They are most interesting,
and I learn much from them. Now the book itself fills a long
felt want. It is a book which the florists generally have needed
all these years ; I hope every florist will appreciate it. It is
a godsend. As long as I remain in the business, I shall refer
to "Commercial Floriculture" to make sure that what I am
going to do will be done the way you put it. I have been a
grower for the past 25 years, and yet I learn something from
the Fritz Bahr writings and the book every day.

State Horticultural Society

The 56th annual meeting of the
Minnesota State Horticultural Society
was held in St. Paul Dec. 5 to 8 with
a good number of members present. Prof.
A T Erwin, Ames, Iowa; Geo. W. Gur-
ney, Yankton, S. D., and W. J. Moyle,
Union Grove, Wis.!, represented their
State societies and appeared on the pro-
gram.

H. A. Dorley, agent of Cuyahoga Coun-
ty, 0., talked to the vegetable growers
at the Friday session and also to the St.
Paul Growers Ass'n on Saturday. Tues-
day and Wednesday were given over to

fruit growing and Friday to vegetable
growing.

J. V. Bailey, F. B. Daniels, R. M.
Underwood and C. H. Andrews were
among the nurserymen who gave papers
at these meetings.

D. C. Webster of La Crescent, and
Gil Matske of South St. Paul, made very
fine exhibits of Apples. Holm & Ol-
son staged an interesting home ground
in minature. A grafting demonstration
was carried on every day at the noon
hour, by Fred Haralson of University
Farm. A small, but excellent vegetable
and Potato exhibit was staged. Offi-

cers re-elected for next year were: Presi-
dent, F. H. Gibbs of Gibbs & Nelson;
secretary and treasurer, R. S. Mackin-
tosh. Members of executive board for
three years are: Judge C. L. Smith, Min-
neapolis, and Robt. C. Wedge, Albert
Lea.

The Minnesota State Florists Asso-
ciation held its December meeting on
Wednesday, Dec. 6, with about 50 pres-
ent. Papers were read by J. D. Win-
ter, C. E. Carey and R. B. Ware.

Centralia, III.

On a recent Saturday, 2000 persons in-
spected the greenhouses and the new
conservatory — this latter a new room en-
tirely of glass and built during the past
Summer exclusively for show purposes —
on the property of the Webster Green-
houses. Websters have been in business
in this town over 26 years. The past year
they have opened a new flower shop ad-
joining the greenhouses. This concern
is certainly making good progress and
deservedly so.

Cleveland, 0.

Cleveland Florists Club

The regular monthly meeting of the
Cleveland Florists Club was held at the
Hollenden, Monday evening, Dec. 4, Pres.
Witthuhn in the chair.

E. J. McCallum of Pittsburgh was the
speaker, and his talk on conditions in
Germany was very interesting and instruc-
tive.

The Publicity Committee presented a
tentative plan for the collection of funds
for advertising, and a drive for $10,000
in ten days is the goal. Herman Knoble,
chairman, suggested the craft be divided
into units, each florist to represent so
many units, who will pay when called upon
from three to 100 units, which, with each
unit representing ten units, will mean
from $30 to $1000. The florists doing an
annual business of say $10,000 will be as-
sessed the minimum, one-fourth payable at
once, and the balance for the year will
be taken in notes payable quarterly. This
seems an excellent plan, and with busi-
ness on the upward trend, it seems the
plan must function, and no doubt will
meet with the approval of the trade in
the Cleveland section.

A Winter Paradise

From Orlando, Fla., comes the Orlando
Magazine, a monthly devoted to extolling
the beauties and activities of that delect-
able city. We can only glance at the
pictures and sigh because circumstances
will not permit us to flit away to the
new million dollar Angebilt Hotel which
opens its doors in January.

Heating Queries

Kindly inform me through the col-
umns of The Exchange, the amount of
piping to heat the below mentioned
greenhouse. The house is 50ft. long and
12ft. wide on the inside, with walls of
concrete blocks, 4ft. 6in. high, and 8ft.
from ground level to ridge. This house
is built very tight in every respect.

To maintain a temperature of from
55 to 60 deg. at night, when the mercury
outside is 10 deg. below zero, I figure
would require 325 sq. ft. of hot water
radiation. The l%in. pipe, which you
have on hand, can be used for the re-
turns. Two 2in. flow mains, 50ft. long
equals 63 sq. ft. and 12 l^in. returns,
50ft. long, are equivalent to 261 sq. ft.
which makes a total of 324 sq. ft, whick,
with sufficient boiler power and pipes
properly installed, should give the tem-
perature above mentioned.

J. N. McAethur.

Lo! now is come one joyful' st feast?

Let every man be jolly.
Each room with Ivy leaves is drest,

And every post with Solly.
Now all our neighbors' chimneys smoke,

And Christmas blocks are burning;
Their ovens they with bak't meats choke,
And all their spits are turning.

Not to many of us is given that power and

that vigor, determination and strength, that

May his birthday this year be a happy
one ; may his Christmas this year be a merry
one; may the New Tear soon to come open
to him yet another door of opportunity to
play his active part in men's affairs.

And may we long be given the frequent

privilege of grasping the hand, of hearing

the counsel and inspiration, and of realizing

the value of the friendship we bear for

1842-1922

When a paper tries to serve its readers, its adver-
tisers and the best interests of the industries with
which it is concerned throughout all of the 52 weeks
of every year, it becomes a real problem as to how to
convey any new thought or extra good wish upon the
advent of any special occasion or red letter season.

Yet we could no more let a Christmas pass without
giving expression to our recognition of its message
than we could knowingly omit an index or a depart-
ment or half the advertisements from an ordinary
issue. So this year, as in the past, we let our seasonal
greetings take the form of a larger paper, in holiday
attire ; a special art cover ; two Christmas stories
written especially for us ; and the hearty good wishes
of the publishers, the editors — the entire staff of the
paper — thus conveyed through their works.

For the support accorded by those advertisers who
have helped us carry out our aims for a bigger and
better issue, we extend thanks of real Christmas sin-
cerity and appreciation, with the hope that their
bread thus cast upon trade waters may come back
to them — buttered and generously spread with jam.

And so, to all our friends, near and far, we extend,
in the same old words but with meaning that is ever
new, that wish that echoes 'round the world and
back again —

This Week's Meetings and Exhibitions

Dec. 19 to 21. — Illinois State Horticultural Society;
Winter convention to be held at Champaign, 111.

Information Wanted

The Exchange would appreciate any information
that would assist it in getting in touch with A. S.
Kurtz, who offered Dahlia divisions to the trade last
Spring, and whose address as we last knew it was
Tullytown, Pa.

The old salts had been "kidding" a young sailor, until finally one
look pity on him and advised him to answer back. A short time after-
ward the young officer was on guard when the captain, whose name
was Moses, came on board.

"Who goes there ?" demanded the sailor, who had not yet Been the
captain.

"MoBes," was the reply.

"Advance and give the Ten Commandments!" shouted the guard

it is unfortunate that, seizing upon a misinterpreta-
tion of that report and the committee's attitude, the
convention saw fit to deny its approval and, in effect,
to discredit the committee and its efforts; it is un-
fortunate that the society had not at the previous
convention signified that it had changed "face" since
the Cleveland meeting; and it is unfortunate that
the chairman's continued illness has delayed the ac-
tion recently taken, so that the society has been left,
practically, without authorized committee representa-
tion in the field of legislation at a time when highly
important developments have been and are taking
place.

But all this is past history and regrets are futile
things. The important thing now is, what of the fu-
ture? Within a few weeks President-elect Bertermann
will have to announce a new Tariff and Legislation
Committee. There is plenty of fine timber ready to
hand. But that a new committee may take up its
work and meet such emergencies as may arise, it must
know what is expected of it and also to what extent
it holds the confidence and is assured the support of
the society. Here is a matter for the serious, prompt
consideration of the Executive Committee; the next
twelve months are full of possibilities, and the trade
cannot afford to be without keen observers and ca-
pable representatives, prompt to see, to analyze, and,
if need be, to act at any and all times.

The Tariff and Legislation Committee's
Resignation

For the first time in the history of the S. A. F. and
0. H. a permanent, standing committee of that or-
ganization has resigned as a body. Having been re-
fused endorsement by the last convention as regards
their judgment and action in connection with the plant
quarantine conference of May 15, 1922, the members
of the committee have taken the only possible course
consistent with the maintenance of their own self-
respect and the dignity of the committee. But the
result, unavoidable though it may have been, is none
the less deplorable.

Every committee of a great organization is faced
by the problem not only of acting according to its
own lights, but also of interpreting the beliefs and
wishes of the membership at large. The latter, of
necessity, cannot hope to attain an equal degree of
knowledge concerning the matters studied and dealt
with by the committee. The Tariff and Legislation
Committee of the S. A. F. in 1922 — as intelligent, as
industrious, as loyal, as capable a group as could well
be named! — encountered in Qu. 37 and related matters
a problem the complexity, the magnitude, and the far
reaching effects of which but few outside have real-
ized.

It was with such a realization, born of careful,
exhaustive study, that the committee under Mr. Mc-
Hutchison's chairmanship set out to lay a foundation
for a future structure whereon the trade and the
Government, the society and the F. H. B., the im-
porter and the domestic producer, commercial inter-
ests and those of the consuming amateur, could get
together and work for a greater horticulture through-
out the nation and the world. Its aims were not
minor modifications of this schedule or that, not
temporary changes of rules or unimportant substitu-
tions in personnel, not the promotion of one branch
of the trade at the cost of another — but, rather, the
eventual creation of a sound, logical system that
would promote, even while it protected, the larger
interests of all.

Realizing that this was a work not of months but
of years, the committee undertook only such prelim-
inary steps as might pave the way while public senti-
ment and trade understanding of the situation in-
creased and broadened. This, as we see it, meant, last
Spring, merely the prevention of further unwar-
ranted paralyzing restrictions such as had been talked
of and, for all we know, definitely planned. And this
result, we believe, was accomplished, with the com-
mittee's statement as presented at Washington in
May largely responsible for its accomplishment.

It should be remembered, furthermore, that this
same committee, entirely aside from its quarantine
investigations and recommendations, had given much
thought and effort to the pending tariff bill and, after
valiant endeavors, had brought about modifications
that left the rates on bulbs and nursery stock endur-
able. The committee was careful to keep absolutely
separate the ideas of tariff and insect protection, so
that its accomplishments in the former field had no
real bearing upon its action in the latter. Neverthe-
less the committee's record as a whole stands as one
that it can well be proud of.

It is unfortunate that owing to the serious illness
of the chairman, and to other circumstances, the com-
mittee was not in a position to explain, even if not
to defend, its report at the Kansas City convention;

Lily Culture in New Zealand

A Possib'e New Source of Supply

From a Levin, N. Z., nurseryman correspondent
who first got in touch with us, via a London friend,
we have received a lengthy letter which touches upon
one or two subjects that may be of importance to our
readers. The possibility of a new Lily supply source
is a subject that is ever in the minds of importers
and forcers. Inflated prices and diseased stocks are
both more or less a bugbear and despite what has
been demonstrated by the TJ. S. Dept. of Agriculture,
there seems to be little prospect of a home forcing
Lily bulb supply ; indeed it has not yet been shown
that an even grade of forcing Lily bulbs propagated
from selected types is possible. Seedlings, each more
or less different from the other, are of no value to
the forcer who desires a 1000 or 10,000 plants to come
in around a certain date. The following remarks by
P. Black of Scobie & Co. are therefore of interest :

The most important feature of New Zealand grown
Lily bulbs is the fact that they would bloom without
hard forcing at any period during our Winter. This
season of blooming is directly opposite to that of
bulbs grown north of the equator. Of special impor-
tance too are the references to packing Lily bulbs.
We have long held the view that drying off of Lily
bulbs is injurious.

Touching on propagating of shrubs, etc., he says:

Frames for Propagation

"We have a system here, practiced I think only by
ourselves, which is very satisfactory in our climate.
We prepare coldframes of about four light (sashes)
size, taking care to have the lights fitting tight. Cut-
tings of all sorts, including Heaths and Azaleas are
inserted quite close together, and the sashes are then
heavily shaded with whiting and placed on top. No
air is given during the daytime and the temperature
rises very high — often over 100, but the close fitting
sashes maintain an atmosphere at saturation point.
In the evening the sashes are taken right off and fre-
quently kept off all night. Before the sashes are re-
placed in the morning, a good damping down is
given. We use these frames right through the Sum-
mer months and practically all our stuff is rooted iu
them. Daphne odorata, which we grow extensively,
cannot be rooted by this method, but demands bot-
tom heat. These sashes are fully exposed to the sun.
Our Rhododendrons are grafted in these frames. We
do not graft Azaleas, all ours are rooted from cut-
tings.

Lilies Revel in New Zealand

As to Lilies, these are a line that does very well
with us and we grow L. auratum, L. longiflorum, C.
speciosum, L. sulphureum, L. regale, L. tigrinum, etc.,
all in the open with the greatest of ease. L. longi-
florum from seed is erratic, but if the best of the
seedlings were segregated, some fine types could be
raised. We have done something in this line and have
a few types of L. 1. giganteum, which are really very
fine indeed. The trouble of the whole business is that
we have no scope within our own little Dominion,
and it has occurred often to me, that there is a possi-
bility of reporting.

I will explain at some length just what the position
is as I see it, then perhaps you can suggest something.

Flowering Season Opposite to Ours

To begin with, we are in the Southern hemisphere
and you are in the Northern and our seasons are the
opposite to yours. Hence Lilies that bloom with us
at Christmas and through January and February,
would naturally bloom at these times the first year
after being imported without any sort of forcing or
retarding treatment.

Next, our Lilies are absolutely free of disease and
I am sure this cannot, be said of the Japanese stock
for we ourselves have had some proper "junk" from
them : indeed the last lot we had was promptly placed
on a fire heap — that was the last lot we had ! Many
years ago we used to import Lungi's annually from
Japan for Winter flowering, and our importing from
them would be exactly similar to your people import-
ing from us.

On Packing Lilies

Packing Lilies by the Japanese method always
seemed to me to be wrong. These bulbs should never
be allowed to get dry, and I am of the opinion that
moist Sphagnum moss freshly gathered, would be the
ideal material to use. It does not decay. With the
view of testing the suitability of Sphagnum, we
packed a case of Lilies last year and kept them for
three months. When opened out, they were sound
and plump and just showing root growth. The va-
riety packed was Auratum. We are aware that you
retard by cold storage and so carry over the season
for Lilies, but if this expedient were thought neces-
sary, it could be resorted to with our Lilies as well
as with those of Japan or Bermuda. The cost of cold
storage must be a considerable item and we presume,
too, that there is some risk of loss.

No Hard Forcing

It will be readily understood by you that to flower
our Lilies at the times mntioned above, would not de-
mand any special treatment. Potting up, or boxing
up when received, and stood in as cool a place as pos-
sible and housed about September or October would
just about meet the bill.

Lastly, this is the part that tells! Our labor con-
ditions are pretty stiff, 14s. 6d. to 17s. per day of
eight hours is the rate of working conditions, but in
spite of that, I think we could meet competition. The
cost of production of an article largely depends upon
the quantity one produces, and when you are con-
sidering our proposition give due thought to the likely
quantity that could be absorbed.

Shipping Facilities

Shipping facilities are good, for we have a direct
service to Frisco, 21 days and the Panama Canal
opens up the Eastern ports and brings them within
three weeks of our ports. The question of entry is
of some magnitude, perhaps, for your Horticultural
Board is pretty rigid, but I understand your now
famous Qu. 37 admits Lilium bulbs. They might draw
exception to the Sphagnum as a packing medium, but
if that were so, sterilization of that material could
be effected.

I think we are safe in saying that our climate and
soil are capable of producing first grade stock, and
we, ourselves, I am vain enough to believe, could
handle it at this end, but we want someone at your
end to do the other half. We have not the stock now,
but could get it in some lines fairly fast, particularly
in regale, tigrinums and auratum and also in longi-
florums if we could use seed, but in the latter we are
firmly of the belief that special strains would be es-
sential. We have the largest stock of L. 1. Harrisii
of any of our Longiflorum types. You must under-
stand we have been growing only for our domestic
trade, and it takes time to meet any abnormal de-
mand.

No person interested in problems of retail merchandising
— and that means no progressive florist — can fail to find
valuable inspiration and constructive precept in the flie
story of John Wanamaker, who died on Tuesday, Dec. 12,
at the age of 84. Not alone by the size and scope of the
magnificent department stores is he known and are his
ability and genius measured, but also by the business
organization and management that characterize them —
the myriad details of administration and service that
have made these stores known throughout the world.
Nor can we forget the broad, kindly philosophy of his
daily advertising messages to the public — a philosophy in
which the love and enjoyment of flowers and all growing
things was ever prominent, ever a bond of closer interest
between him and the members of our trade.

A Fish Story. — As Bessie's parents live near the seashore, they
sometimes use small fish as fertilizer for flower beds. Bessie
had observed this and when some time later the stiff, spiky
leaves of the Gladiolus appeared, she ran to her mother and
excitedly announced:. "Oh, mamma, the fish are coming up;
their tails are sticking right through." — Boston Transcript.

An Echo of Christmas 1916

Bulletin Joseph Pdquet for November contains a
letter from a French soldier. It was sent to Joseph
Paquet who in a footnote states that the order was
filled with an extra nice basket. We give the letter
in full as it explains itself, and serves to show that
the French soldier while battling for his homeland,
still could think of flowers to cheer his beloved wife.
One's heart is touched and as one who knew the pangs
of war, I cannot but wonder whether soldat Tison
ever returned home. W.

November 11, 1916.
My dear Sir:

Just as I was reading your advertisement in "Le
Matin" of the 9th inst. my trench was enlightened with
a radiant vision. I thought of my wife, of my so re-
mote home, of the flowers, she is so fond of.

Flowers. Flowers of Nice. That brings me, old terri-
torial as I am, on the front of Alsace, 29 months back.
Every Saturday, then, I was enjoying myself, when
going home to witness sooner my dear wife's happi-
ness. She had a joy immense, always new, when ob-
taining the flowers I had got for her.

Alas! Today the nosegay vases are empty; the war
has faded flowers and joys; no more laughter and
money is gone.

As a poor devil, but not ashamed, rich with glory
only, I had a colloquy with my heart and my purse.
Some flowers for my wife. It is a ray of the South sun;
it is the great joy we shared in bygone years.

Alas! my last fortnight advance money is all what
I can offer to her: 3 frs. 75. How can I economize
longer, and make this sum grown up to the big coin, to
obtain the engaging basket you illustrate and which
will arrive in time for Christmas.

If this money be enough to allow me to buy a smaller
basket, you may send it, and on account of you, two
people will be happy.

We struggle for France's sake, we struggle for flow-
ers' sake too and we wish one could ever say: the flow-
ers of France are the most beautiful flowers in all the
world.

Send if you please, should it so happen, the flower
basket to Mrs. Tison, 41, boulevard Curie, Calais (Pas-
de-Calais).

Inclosed a money order, 3 frs. 75 worth, anticipating
the success of my appeal and

Thanking you in advance, Tours very truly,

IX— Can the Fern Plant Trade be Standardized

R. C. Benedict, Brooklyn Botanic Gardens

RETAILERS disagree, we have found, as to what
variety is best for general use, but there is also
a great diversity in the quality of different
plants of a single variety. Even in a single store,
plants of a given form may indicate wide variation
in the growing conditions under which they were pro-
duced. One may be a perfect specimen in symmetry,
full of leaves, that fill the surface of the soil. An-
other may show a single, central crown of leaves
surrounded by bare soil. The first may show 150
leaves in a 6in. or 7in. pot ; the second in the same
size pot may have less than half as many leaves.
So, too, the leaves may vary in size, in coloration,
arrangement, etc.

What possibility is there of establishing standards
according to which all such variations in a single
variety may be classified and judged? As a basis for
discussion, let me propose the following four classes
which seem to me to cover the problem and provide
at least a step in advance, to the ultimate benefit of
grower, retailer and customer, too.

Trade Classes of Boston Ferns

1. Bench plants, to include all plants developed
under bench culture, and potted and sold before they
have had time to make a good new root growth in the
pot soil.

2. Pot grown bench plants, to include bench plants
which have had at least a month in pots under the
favorable conditions of the grower's greenhouse.

3. Pot grown plants : All plants which have had
a shift to their present sized pot from previous pot
culture. If properly taken care of, they will not
have suffered interruption in the shift.

4. Show or exhibition plants: Those which show
practically the best and greatest possible develop-
ment.

This classification was drawn up with two main
facts in mind. The first is that the conditions of pro-
duction constitute the most natural basis for grading
fern plants and that time and labor spent determine
the sale v.alue of the product. The first class, being
the cheapest to produce is, therefore, sold at the low-
est prices.

The second basis depends on the fact that the
groups as defined have rather distinct values for
the ultimate purchaser. For temporary decoration
only, classes one and four belong together ; neither
adapts itself to dwelling conditions, the first because
its roots are not established, the fourth because the
soil of the pot is entirely filled with roots, and the

plant requires special greenhouse treatment. For
"permanent" house plant purposes, then, the second
and third groups, which are intermediate in price,
have the call. The exhibition type plant may be
adapted to home culture if given a shift into fresh
soil and a larger pot before it is sold.

The Characters of Each Type

How can we identify these four types? Can we,
by examining a given specimen, determine its proper
class? Generally speaking, yes; particularly in the
first and last classes. The typical bench plant shows
a central crown of leaves surrounded by packed soil
without any surface runners. If it is shaken out,
the dirt is likely to fall away leaving a loose mass of
roots, much as they had been pulled from the open
stock bench. In the case of a plant of the second
class, runners may be seen radiating over the sur-
face, and penetrating the soil in all directions, bear-
ing roots which bind the soil together.

A plant of this type is in excellent condition for
house culture. Its foliage is "on the make" and so
is its root system. Under the unfavorable conditions
of the average house it will not reach the limits of
its pot of soil for a longer time than in the green-
house, but it will thrive reasonably if given water
regularly, good light and good air.

The pot grown plant of the third class has about
the same value for home conditions, but it should be
sold before it reaches its full development for the
size of its pot. If it has had adequate space, it
should show a better shape than the second class
plant, but it may be next to impossible to distinguish
a shapely full leaved plant of class two from a poor
type of class three. Examination of the soil might
show in the latter the inner ball of roots of the ear-
lier pot, though not necessarily.

A class four plant having presumably had the best
possible space and light, together with extra feeding,
will show its pot full to the edge of leaves, but
it is not a good buy for the retailer or the home
owner unless for some particular decorative plan.
Naturally, it must bring a higher price than any of
the other types.

It seems to me that there is altogether too much
buying of class one plants because they cost less and
can be sold more cheaply. There is also a tendency
for retailers to feel that if they can buy a pot entirely
full of leaves they are getting better value than in
one that shows a clear margin of soil. Actually, such
full leaved plants may have been grown in such
crowded conditions that their only claim to merit is
the number of their leaves. A plant with fewer leaves
developed with more space, should cost no more, or
even less, and repay the purchaser many fold in
keeping qualities as well as in symmetry.

What kind of fern makes the most money
for you — and why? Dr. Benedict thinks too
many bench plants are bought and sold
merely because they are cheap. Is this so,
or are they also more profitable and just as
satisfactory in the end?

What we want is greater appreciation and
use of ferns. How can we get it?

Late 'Mums

Our Lancaster correspondent mentions that the
public is becoming accustomed to seeing and using
Chrysanthemums up to and after Christmas. But he
also adds : 'Mums, naturally, should be over and out
of the road.

Why naturally? The Chrysanthemum, through se-
lection and breeding, has a wide range of natural
flowering dates, and by bud manipulation, the time
of blooming is further varied. Is it any more un-
reasonable to have 'Mums from August to February
than it is to have Boses and Carnations all the year
around.

The English markets can take 'Mums for about
five months ; it has been mentioned that one firm
grows at least 600,000 plants, all disbudded to carry
six to twelve blooms. If that firm dumped its mil-
lions of blooms into Covent Garden during October
and November, the market would be swamped. But
this firm, and the scores of others growing 'Mums,
times its first cutting for August and ends in late
January. The demand for the blooms did not always
exist because the varieties did not always exist. It
has just grown, and yet despite it, the Carnation has
made headway and actually averages a better return
than in America because it never is really off the
market.

Of course, the English Rose forcers do not get their
new crop bloom so early as here, but actually the
Rose is never off the market either. Why then argue
for seasonal flowers when the flowers themselves
want to be perpetual and the public will take them?

The Florists Exchange

New York Florists Club

Pennsylvania Hotel, Dec. 1 1

OFFICERS FOR 1923

President, Arthur Herrington

Vice-President, Paul Rigo

Secretary, John Young

Treasurer, Wm. C. Rickards, Jr.

FULLY 150 members gathered at the Pennsylvania
Hotel where, in preparation for a larger crowd
than usual. Room No. 3 on the mezzanine floor
had been allocated for the club*s use. It is probable
that this room will be used iu future as it will com-
fortably hold 100 or more and leave room for a num-
ber of exhibits.

The crowd, as on the previous occasion, seemed well
pleased with the homey surroundings. It is idle to
ignore the psychological features in meetings of this
kind : in a large, high ceilinged, bare floored, bare
walled room, like the former quarters, one had a

sense of school days and a disinclination to "mix."
The new quarters, with its carpeted floor and cush-
ioned chairs is different. We are not suggesting flo-
rists are unused to fancy chairs and pile carpets, but
there it is ; everyone seemed chummy 'and no one
showed any particular hurry to have the business
start.

Certainly it seemed so on this occasion, and Presi-
dent Roman J. Irwin, who had mislaid his gavel, had
a tough time getting the meeting to attention even
three-quarters of an hour past the official opening
time. Indeed, he might have been shouting and tap-
ping the table with a glass until now. had not Joseph
Manila unthinkingly knocked out his pipe on a cus-
pidor thereby bringing about the desired result. It
may at once be said that Mr. Manda has not been
appointed to carry out this duty at future meetings.
And lest the reference to a glass be misconstrued, be
it understood that it and several like it, were much
in request, but for water only.

Aye. aye. sirs ! you might well assume the atmos-
phere was strong and smoky when veterans emu-
late Harry Lauder and drink "cauld, cauld water" of
their own free will. It would be criminal to disclose
their names.

However, the meeting got under way and the min-
utes of the previous meeting were expeditiously read
and passed. Following, Chas. Totty and Arthur Her-
rington for the Flower Show Committee, reported on
the prospects for the Spring Show, March 12 to 17,
1923. It appeared that practically all trade space
Ihad been booked and that the exhibits promised would
■easily fill every foot of available floor space. Mr.
Herrington particularly dilated upon the Importance
■of "talking" the show at every opportunity; $5000
Inad been set aside for advertising, but with the good
help of the club members, the attendance, he thought,
could be made to top 100,000. Five big gardens will

be a feature of the show and he felt confident that
the exhibition would surpass that of last year.

Mr. Totty mentioned that it. was planned to provide
opportunities for the retailers at the show. He also
referred to the advertising and trusted that no retail
florist would refuse to give publicity to the show by
exhibiting, one or more display cards. Hitherto, he
said, many retail florists had shown a great disin-
clination to exhibit cards advertising the show. These
reports were received with great appreciation.

Memorial Resolutions

Secretary John Young then read, all present stand-
ing, the resolutions,- drawn up by the committee ap-
pointed, on the deaths of John Condon, Paul Daille-
douze and Eugene Dailledouze. The tributes to these
greatly esteemed members were duly accepted, and it
was agreed that copies be spread upon the records of
the club and also that copies be sent to the relatives
of the deceased members.

The New Club Quarters

A. T. De La Mare, for the Good of the Club Com-
mittee, stated that he had no authority to make ar-
sangeinents whereby the hotel they were in should
be their permanent quarters. The president men-
tioned that the rent of the hotel room was actually
much less than they had formerly paid. It was agreed
that the Good of the Club Committee be empowered
to make all necessary agreements with the Pennsyl-
vania Hotel management.

New Members

The following nominees were duly elected en bloc :
Herbert Golsner, College Point, N. Y. ; Fred Golsner,
Rockville Center, N. Y. ; Clarence Golsner, Rockville
Center. N. Y. ; John C. Stern, Brooklyn, N. Y., and
James Brozier, Springfield, N. J. Six new nomina-
tions were submitted, these being left to take the
usual course.

Chas. Weathered drew attention to the fact that
Walter J. Barnwell, although a member for some
months, had never made his bow. Mr. Barnwell was
therefore dragged forth and rather surprised every-
one by his eloquence. Even a dry seedsman can en-
thuse, and Mr. Barnwell talked almost like a catalog.

New Business

On a motion by Joseph Manda, it was agreed that
a letter of condolence be sent Geo. Baldwin, Mama-
roneck, N. Y., on the serious loss sustained by him
through the destruction by fire, of a large number of
orchids.

Frank H. Traendly reported the receipt of, and ex-
tended his sincere thanks for, the beautiful basket of
fruit sent him by the club during his recent illness.
He also stated that he visited shortly before the lat-
ter's demise. Eugene Dailledouze, who had expressed
his delight and appreciation for the basket of fruit
sent him. He assured members that when sickness
ties one to a bed kindly thoughts and gifts such as
these, did much to ease the monotony.

Secretary Young urged that it should be a general
policy among members to report the sickness of any
fellow member to the secretary. He believed it would
generally be possible to find one or more members who
would be glad to visit and cheer a sick fellow mem-
ber. His remarks brought much applause. At this
point, too, Mr. Young drew attention to the fact that
the club had lost another of its old members, Robert
Bard of Syracuse. President Irwin said he would
appoint a committee to draw up resolutions on the
death of Mr. Bard who had been known to a large
circle of friends in New York.

Election of Officers

The secretary read a number of letters from nom-
inees who desired their names be withdrawn. As a
result of these withdrawals, the whole of the officers
and the three standing for the board of directors were
elected by one ballot submitted by Chas. Totty. The
names of the. new officers are given above; the three
new directors are Percy B. Rigby, Peter Gerlaird and
John Canning.

President Roman J. Irwin called on Chas. Totty
and Frank H. Traendly to escort the new president-
elect to the front. Being already in this position,
the "guards" led their protege around the room amid
much laughter and sedate handclaps. Mr. Herring-
ton expressed his appreciation for the honor, which
to him seemed especially significant. He had no recol-
lection of a wholly unanimous election as recorded
that evening. He took it as a happy augury, and he
assured all that, with the help of members, he would
not only uphold traditions of past presidents, but en-
deavor to surpass their efforts. His well conceived
speech was greeted with rapturous applause.

Paul Rigo was next "dragged" to the platform, but
he was content to assure members he would do his
best for the good of the club.

The parade of John Young with Chas. Weathered
and A. L. Miller as escorts, was a scream ; one men-

tally recalled the old time song, "Strolling 'Round the
Town." John Young expressed his appreciation; it
was his 32d year in office, so he really was taking
his 32d degree. He touched on the coming Spring
show, and also the new club quarters, which certainly
had brought about pleasant results he had never ex-
pected. Wm. C. Rickards. Percy B. Rigby, Peter Ger-
laird and John Canning all went through the "mill"
in turn. If those present had been at a circus, they
could not have derived greater enjoyment. Mr. Rick-
ards reported the club as being in a most sound con-
dition. John Canning, with characteristic Scotch
brevity, said about five words that meant much.

Visitors' Talks

Secretary Young drew attention to the fact that
they had two long distance visitors with them : Roht.
Miller of Farmington, Utah, and Thos. Roland of
Nahant, Mass., and he asked that they be called upon.

Robt. Miller plainly showed his appreciation of
being among old friends. He made sundry references
to the Young family and generally created much
amusement. He, however, invited all to visit Utah,
for he could promise them a good time.

Thos. Roland expressed his pleasure in being with
such a live bunch. He said he had derived great

Paul A. Rigo

Vice-president-elect N.i Y. F. C.

interest from the remarks of Wallace R. Pierson, just
previous, and he was sure the S. A. F. convention at
Hartford would not be lacking support from New
York. He specially appealed, however, to all, to sup-
port and aid the S. A. F. Annual which was in the
making. This great work was the first attempt at a
real book that would be of the greatest service to the
members of the S. A. F. and horticulture generally.
The preparation of this Annual was particularly
heavy work, as it was not decided upon until Mid-
summer, and being the first issue, it entailed an enor-
mous amount of preparing and expenditure. He be-
lieved this Annual would prove the most valuable
book in the history of the American horticultural
trade, and he urged that everyone give all the aid
possible.

Mr. Roland also referred to the New York show,
no doubt the most important flower show in the
United States, and it must be gratifying to them to
know that its entire cost was fully covered months
ahead of the event.

Wallace R. Pierson called upon just previously as
Senator-elect for Connecticut, by Secretary Young,
had, as usual, a few quips to let loose before he
plunged into the subject on his mind ; the S. A. F. and
O. H. convention at Hartford in 1923. He told what
Hartford was doing ; how the three Bond Hotels
would guarantee accommodation for 700 ; how, an
entire bowling alley would be booked up ; how a
dauce pavilion called Roseland, large enough for S00
couples, was available, and how one of the finest
swimming pools in America would be at the service
of members after every session. Garages were abun-
dant and he looked for it to be an auto convention.

December 16, 1922.

The Florists Exchange

1621

Hartford flrists were going to look after the enter-
taining : Boston florists were providing $2000 for
sports prizes, so that all that was now needed, were
prizes for the ladies' sports, which he hoped would
"be furnished by the New York Florists Club. He
said little as regards his own activities, but he let it
be understood that as Senator-elect he would not be
idle. The fact that the great State Armory, one of
the finest in the country, would be used for the con-
vention, was an indication that the State of Connecti-
cut and Hartford, were greatly interested in the flo-
rists' convention. His remarks caused much enthu-
siasm.

Secretary Young mentioned that it was necessary
that the club appoint a representative to fill the office
which the club, as an affiliated organization in good
standing, was entitled to on the board of directors of
the S. A. F. and O. H. On a motion it was decided
that President-elect Arthur Herrington represent the
club on the S. A. F. board. Mr. Young also referred
to the Salvation Army Christmas Fund for the poor.
During the recess for refreshments. Joseph Manda
acted as collector, netting some $70 for this humane
purpose.

Exhibits

The chief exhibit was from Traendly & Schenck.
Xew York City, and Rowayton, Conn. Seven fine
vases of Roses, each 50 or more blooms, of Mrs. Ward,
Columbia. F. Scott Key, Pilgrim, Premier, Mme. But-
terfly, and Crusader were displayed for which a cul-
tural certificate was awarded.

Roman J. Irwin showed a vase of a pleasing light
pink Chrysanthemum, a sport of Patty sent by L. W.
Aeheson, Pittsfield. Mass. The flowers were of good
size and apparently good, both on crown bud and
terminal. Vote of thanks accorded it.

A huge vase of Commonwealth, the new deep pink
Rose was shown by A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell,
Conn. The flowers were in excellent shape. Vote of
thanks.

S. S. Skidelsky & Co., New York, exhibited two
plants of Begonia Chatelaine Supreme, a superb form
with flowers rivaling the Lorraine type. Vote of
thanks.

over which body he has the honor to have been its
first president. He has been a member of the N. Y.
F. C. since 1015.

Paul A. Rigo

To those who have occasion to visit the New York
market at 18th St., the New York Florists Club will
be recognized as having elected a hustler in Paul A.
Rigo to fill the vice-presidential chair. Mr. Rigo is
a New Yorker born and bred. He will tell you, with
justifiable pride, that he is a "product of the East
Side," a section of the city which truly furnishes its
quota of successes. The East Side boy of New York
is a fighter from the word "go." who brooks no denial,
and surely Paul Rigo evidences that fighting spirit in
all the tasks that come to his lot.

'Mr. Rigo commenced his career with J. B. Nugent
in 1905, at the time that Mr. Nugent was conducting
both a wholesale and retail business with Arthur
Bacre as manager. In 1906 the vice-president elect
and Mr. Bacre went into partnership under the lac
ter's name. In 1907 he joined the forces of Arthur
M. Henshaw, who later went into partnership with
Joseph S. Fenrich. When the partnership of Henshaw
& Fenrich was dissolved. Mr. Rigo went with Mr. Hen
shaw, who appointed him manager and a member of
the firm of the Henshaw Floral Co. The cut flower
department of the Henshaw Floral Co. is where Mr.
Rigo directs his greatest activity.

He is a life member of both the S. A. F. and O. H.
and the N. Y. F. C, having been a member of the
latter since 1912. During the past year he has been
chairman of both the annual banquet and transporta-
tion committees. On the latter, he was largely respon-
sible for the highly successful tour de luxe trip to
Kansas City during the S. A. F. convention in that
city last August.

Mr. Rigo is also a Past Exalted Ruler of the Elks,
B. P. O. E. No. 1290, Nutley, N. J.

Three other Rigos are identified with the florisi
business; two brothers, Alfonse and Albert, and a
sister Elsie, constitute the firm of Rigo Bros., doing
a retail business in New York City.

Arthur Herrington

The president-elect of the New York Florists Club,
he who is to pilot this great trade body through 1923,
comes to the presidential chair with a life spent in
the world of horticulture from boyhood.

Arthur Herrington's father was a gardener, and the
son was first apprenticed to his dad. who was then
taking care of country estates in the south of Eng-
land. The next move on the part of the president-elect
was to the Royal Horticultural Society, under A. F.
Barron, father of Leonard Barron, well known in
America as the editor of the Garden Magazine. Mr.
Herrington was under the guidance of the senior Bar-
ron for four years. He then moved to Sussex, where
he was employed by William Robinson at the Grave-
tye Manor estate. At this period Mr. Herrington was
also a regular contributor to Mr. Robinson's paper,
The Garden. Following this, he was employed at
Shrubland Park. Ipswich, the estate of Lord de Saus-
marez. for four years. At the end of this period he
returned to the employ of Mr. Robinson, this time on
the traveling staff of The Garden.

In December 1895 Mr. Herrington came to America.
On Jan. 1 of the following year he secured employ-
ment on the estate of H. McKay Twombly, Madison,
N. J. It is fitting here to mention that Mr Herring-
ton has. during his 27 years in America, lived and
worked entirely in the town of Madison.

In January 1910 Mr. Herrington terminated 14
years employment on the Twombly estate. Three
months later he embarked in business for himself as
a landseapist. During these years in America Mr.
Herrington has gained fame as a show manager, lec-
turer and writer. His book, "The Chrysanthemum,"
was published 15 years ago. Mr. Herrington tells
with pride that his royalties for 1921 were greater
than that of any previous year.

He has been president of the Chrysanthemum So-
ciety, while his identification with the greatest flower-
shows held in America, to wit, The Annual Interna-
tional Flower Show held in New York, is so pro-
nounced as to need no elaboration here. In addition
to the New York Flower Shows, Mr. Herrington was
manager of the National Flower Shows held in Phila-
delphia and Indianapolis, in both instances being
called in to plan the shows almost at the last moment.

During the war period he was instructor in garden-
ing among the school children, under the jurisdiction
of the Board of Education, having over 200 gardens
cared for at the same time by the children under his
guidance.

He is Past Master of Madison Lodge No. 93, F. &
A. M., a Past Regent of the Royal Arcanum Society,
and was one. of the originators and a charter member
of the Morris County Gardeners and Florists Society,

Annual Reports of Agricultural
Department Bureau

Bureau of Plant Industry

Special Features of Seed Testing, Distributing
and Importing Activities Noted

Washington, D. C. — The usual routine work of the
Bureau of Plant Industry continued without incident
during the last fiscal year, according to its recently
submitted annual report. During that period there
were distributed on Congressional and miscellaneous
requests 11,198,385 packages of vegetable seed and
2,015,115 packages of flower seed, or a total of 13.213,-
500 packages, each containing five packets of different
kinds of seeds. There were also distributed 14,8S0
packages of lawn grass seed and 11,444 packages of
imported Narcissus and Tulip bulbs. These seeds
were purchased on competitive bids, as heretofore.
Each lot purchased was thoroughly tested for purity
and viability before acceptance by the Department,
and tests of each lot of seed were conducted on the
Department's trial grounds to determine trueness to
type.

The work of packeting, assembling, and mailing the
vegetable and flower seed was done by a private con-
tractor at the rate of $2.3535 a thousand packets, in-
cluding the furnishing of the packets and envelopes.

A distribution of new and rare field seeds was
made throughout the entire United States, having for
its object the dissemination of seed of new and rare
field crops, seed of improved strains of staple crops,
and high-grade seed of crops new to sections where
the data of the Department indicate such crops to
be of considerable promise. Each package contained
sufficient seed for a satisfactory field trial, and the
recipient was urged to use the seed, if feasible, for
the production of stocks for future plantings. A re-
port card and a circular giving full directions for
the culture of the crop accompanied each package of
seed.

Only seed of new crops or improved strains of
standard crops were distributed, including varieties
of Alfalfa, Field Beans, Sweet Clover, Cow Peas, Vel-
vet Beans, Field Peas, pasture and hay grasses for
the South, Millets, Sorghums and Cotton. The out-
standing results of the past year's distribution were
secured in connection with new varieties of Soy Beans,
the Soy Bean oil industry, which is now being devel-
oped in the Corn Belt, having been materially as-
sisted. The Victor Cowpea, an improved variety de-
veloped by the Department, is proving exceptionally

promising, and it is believed that it will be very gen-
erally- used in many parts of the South.

During the year 101,000 packages of new and rare
forage crop seed and 96.000 packages of Cotton seed,
or a total of 197,000 packages, were distributed.

During the year the seed testing laboratories of the
Bureau received and examined 29,671 samples, 17,100
coming to the laboratory at Washington, D. O, and
12.571 to the five branch seed testing laboratories
maintained in cooperation with the State institutions.

The total importations of forage plant seeds^ sub-
ject to the seed importation act were 7,333,333 1/3
lbs., or approximately 20 per cent more than in the
previous year. Of all Red Clover imported 25 per
cent was of Italian origin; 6.000.000 lbs. less Red
Clover and 2.000.000 pounds less crimson Clover seed
came in this year than last. This decrease was offset
by increases of more than 6.000,000 pounds of Alfalfa
and 3,000,000 pounds of Alsike Clover seed. Of Or-
chard Grass seed 3,000,000 lbs. were imported, against
none during the previous year. White Clover, Millet,
Rape and Rye Grass seed showed increased imports.

Federal Horticultural Board

Reviews Permits Issued and Requests Increased
Appropriation to Improve and Extend J| j
Inspection Service
Washington. D. C. — The plant quarantine confer-
ence held by the Federal Horticultural Board last
May resulted "in a better understanding of the need
of guarding the country against the possible intro-
duction of destructive pests and diseases," according
to the annual report of the Board, just submitted to
Secretarv Wallace.

The reports points out that in connection with the
importations permitted during the last fiscal year
(1922). there were intercepted upward of 500 differ-
ent insect pests, and also a considerable number of
plant diseases. As a single example, in connection
with importations, in 1921, of fruit and Rose seed-
lings it is stated that no less than 1S2 brown tail
moth nests were intercepted, these being distributed
among some 41 different shipments. It is asserted
that this represented a growing carelessness on the
part of the French exporter, because in the nine pre-
ceding years only 63 such nests were found. "This
alarming state of affairs led to emphatic warnings
being given to the French exporters and inspection
authorities," the report states, "with the result that
so far this year there has been a very marked im-
provement, only two such nests having so far been
taken. There was, however, a decided increase in
pests of other kinds, many of. them important pests
new to this country."

The importation by mail of plants and seeds for
propagation (except field, vegetable, and flower seeds
and importations made by or for the Department of
Agriculture) has hitherto been prohibited. Inasmuch
as importations made by special permit under Reg. 14,
of Quarantine No. 37, are required to be addressed to
the Federal Horticultural Board, and are under com-
plete control of the Department of Agriculture until
they are passed and distributed to ultimate destina-
tion, they can properly be considered as complying
with the post office order limiting mail importations
of plants mainly to those addressed to and intended
for this Department. By arrangement with the Cus-
toms service and the Post Office Department, importa-
tion through the mails of special permit material is
authorized when warranted by the nature and amount
of the proposed shipment.

In connection with all requests for special permits
under Reg. 14 for the importation of new varieties
of plants and necessary propagating stock, the board
has from the beginning adopted the policy of issuing
such permits only on the recommendation and advice
of the experts of the Bureau of Plant Industry as
approved by the chief of that Bureau. The burden of
this work has been rather heavy, and as a means of
facilitating the examinations and lessening the Bu-
reau's work, the Board had added to its staff Prof.
David Lumsden, a horticulturist of wide professional
and practical experience.

There have been issued and distributed during the
year a number of circulars giving explanation of the
provisions for plant entry under Quarantine No. 37.

More than 5000 permits have been issued for im-
portations under Regulation 3 of Qu. 37, the report
continues. During the fiscal year a total of 6,772,123
Rose stocks were imported, together with a total of
196,4S6,1S6 bulbs and 128,817 lbs. of tree seeds.

Of the Roses imported, 2050 were from Belgium,
1,871.600 from England. 2.432.040 from France, 2,325,-
933 from Holland, 100,000 from Ireland, 500 from
Luxemburg, and 40,000 from Scotland. Of the bulb
importations 19,000 were from the Azores, 179.2S6
from Bermuda. 1,003,035 from China, 339,024 from
England, 42.311. 10S from France, 12,628,750 from Ger-

ny, 132,3S6,594 from Holland, 385,524 from Italy,
d 7,233,S65 from Japan. The bulbs were divided
o classes as follows : Crocus, 6,319,0S2, Hyacinth,
S0S.236, Lily, S.219,460, Lily of the Valley. 14,951,-
), Narcissus, 77,270,54S, Tulip, 64,.S46,940, and un-
ssified, 70,750. During the fiscal year 750 special
miits were given for importation of restricted
mts under Reg. 14, full details of which were made
blic during the conference held Oct. 30 to deter-
ne whether the permitted list should be extended.

addition to the bulb permits issued, there were

permits for the importation of 13,041 Roses, of
ich 7973 have been imported ; 50 permits for the
portatlon of S194 orchids, of which 7013 have been
ported ; 112 permits, covering 1,106,414 herb plants,

which 229,708 have been imported, and nine per-
ts covering 2547 fruits, of which 156 have been
ported.
The Board recommends an increase of $100,000 in

appropriation to enable it adequately to extend
id properly to conduct its port inspection service
d to cooperate with the postal service at points
here no department inspectors are now stationed,
is pointed out that while this fund may seem of
od size, a single introduction of some dangerous
ant disease or insect pest may cost the country hun-
eds of millions of dollars, and the likelihood of
eh introduction can be largely eliminated if ade-
ate inspection is made possible. C. L. L.

More Funds for the F. H. B. ?

We are advised by our Washington correspondent
the appearance of the annual reports of various
overnmental departments and bureaus including
at of the Federal Horticultural Board (briefly re-
ewed in another column). Until we are favored
ith a copy of the report, we must needs refrain from
ry detailed comment. We do call attention, bow-
er, to the Board's request for an increased appro-
bation with which to extend and perfect its inspec-
on service; and we express the hope that it may
sceive the desired aid essential to that most desired
id. It will be recalled that better inspection meth-
Is and additional ports of entry were among the
commendations urged upon the Secretary of Agri-
alture, both by the McFarland Committee and the
. A. F. Tariff and Legislation Committee last May.
o far as any reply has been made to this recom-
lendation, the Board has in the past argued along
wo lines : first, that it would gladly extend its inspec-
ion work if it could secure the necessary funds ; and
Bcond, that the inspection system had proved unsatis-
ictory and ineffective at best and should give way
) strict quarantine measures such as Qu. 37. Now,
; appears, the Boards asks increased funds on the
rounds that more inspection will afford greater and
lore complete protection. If this may be taken to
lean, also, a reduced need of blanket quarantines,
tien horticulturists can hail the announcement with
Dy and should use their every influence and effort
o bring about the increased appropriation referred
o. If, on the other hand, the Board's statement about
be possibilities of additional inspection facilities has
ome other significance, then it should make clear
ust what the meaning is.

British Horticultural Controller on Qu. 37

W. G. Lobjoit, who went to America in the Summer
to urge the authorities at Washington to relax some
of the restrictions of Quarantine 37, tells us, in the
course of an interesting paper describing impressions
of his visit, that : —

"There is a large section of the American public
which is growing to feel that the prevention of im-
portation from abroad deprives the American citi-
zen of his right to select what plants or flowers he
should buy and from where to obtain them, and
operates to depress the general horticultural taste
to the things which are common, easily produced,
and returning huge profits to the producers. There
are, of course, extensive interests which grew up
in the distribution of imported plants and flowers,
and which since then have turned in other direc-
tions, but would be glad to return to the old busi-
ness. The producers of flowers and plants, how-
ever, realize what a golden opportunity is open to
them in the public being restricted to the purchase
of pretty well what they like to offer them, in the
condition in which haste to produce and haste to
get rich presents them. They are, therefore, against
being compelled to face up to the competition of the
more mature, better-informed and better-organized
horticultural industries of the older countries. The
United States appears to be passing through a
period of intense experiment to find a tariff-made
Paradise. Probably the more intense the experi-
ment the sooner may come disillusionment."
It is to be hoped that the disillusionment will be
"thorough," as well as "sooner," when it comes to
the great liberty-loving people of America. — Nursery-
man and Seedsman.

National Flower Growers Association

Boston Branch

The Boston branch held a well attended meeting at
the Parker House, Thursday, Dec. 7. Among the
guests present are mentioned Wallace R. Pierson,
Cromwell, Conn. ; Archie Henshaw, New York, N. Y.,
and E. H. Wilson of the Arnold Arboretum. The room
and the tables were handsomely decorated with flow-
ers contributed by the growers. A vase, containing
magnificent blooms of the new Rose, "Commonwealth,"
from the Montgomery Co. of Hadley, Mass., was con-
spicuous and greatly admired.

The business meeting was opened, right after a
sumptuous dinner, by President Samuel J. Goddard.
The meeting was given over, almost entirely, to dis-
cussions and explanations that had to do with the
new flower market building on Tremont st. (See il-
lustration.) Wm. C. Stickel and Allan Peirce ex-
plained the details of arrangements in the new mar-
ket, together with the methods to be employed in the
carrying on of the business. They also gave an ac-
count of how far the remodeling of the old Cyclorama
building has progressed ; prints which were passed
around gave an actual picture of how the new market
will look from the outside. Mr. Stickel mentioned

Boston's New Flower Market Building

This handsome, convenient and representative building, situated on Tremont St., Boston, is the new home of the Boston

Flower Exchange, Inc., to be occupied in January next. The building and its fittings will represent an outlay of nearly $400,000,

raised by the growers exclusively, who will have entire control of the venture. (See text )

that, eventually, another story could be added to the
building and another building, also, be erected in the
rear, facing Warren ave., thereby greatly enlarging
the floor space and revenue. The floors of the build-
ing are absolutely water and fireproof, being built of
concrete with a layer of vitrified brick, on end, on top.
The floor has a thickness of more than two feet, rein-
forced with immense iron girders. Ventilation of the
market hall is provided for by 40 windows along the
top of the wall surrounding the hall. In addition
there are the many windows in the front and rear of
the building and a large skylight at the apex of the
dome which spans it, so that, in the daytime, artificial
light will not be needed. The parking space for auto-
mobiles and trucks on Warren ave. is of great exten-
sion, permitting of the erection of a long platform,
from which boxes and goods can be taken in or but,
through double doors, with the greatest convenience
and a saving of time and labor. More parking space
is available on Montgomery square and adjoining
streets. A large hallway on one side of the building
can be transformed into a restaurant if desired.

Mr. Stickel mentioned that the subscription list for
shares would be kept open until Jan. 15 in the hope
that many more growers would avail themselves of
securing a good and safe investment. He hopes that
$25,000 more would be subscribed, which would enable
the corporation to carry on the work with its own
money without borrowing of the banks. In answer to
a question, Mr. Stickel said that growers alone can
become stockholders and that the undertaking is sure
to bring good returns. The entire basement, 22,000ft.,
has already been rented to the wholesale florist firm
of Henry M. Robinson Co., Inc., for a long term of
years.

Mr. Peirce said that the individual stalls in the new
market will be larger than those in the old, contain-
ing, as they do, 16 sq. ft. The tables will be flat with-
out any shelves, so that nothing will interfere with a
view across the hall. The rent includes merely the
floor space and bare stalls without auy fittings. The
stalls are to be put on auction, so that each grower
may secure his favorite location as long as he is will-
ing to pay the premium which such location is able to
command. This is thought to give the squarest deal
to all. The premiums will be divided into 12 equal
parts and the amount added to the rent. The market
is installing its own cold storage plant and the cost
of running it is to be charged, pro rata, to each stall-
holder by adding it to the rent. It is figured that this
item will be not less than 50c. per month.

The rental arrangements will be different from
those in use at present in the old market. They will
be based on a sliding scale on the amount of glass
owned by each grower. As outlined now, a grower
having 25,000ft. of glass or under would be charged
for one stall. Up to 50,000ft. the grower will have to
pay for two stalls. Up to 75,000ft. three stalls, and
up to 100,000ft. four stalls. No two growers can
occupy one stall together (double up). In addition
to the small, regular stalls in the middle of the hall
there will be a number of large stalls or booths along
the sides of the hall. For these a lump sum will be
charged, figured at a rate to correspond to the rent of
the small stalls. Edward Wood of Lexington ex-
pressed the committee's appreciation for the help
given by florists owning automobiles.

President Goddard mentioned that next month
would be the annual meeting. It was voted that he
should appoint a nominating committee which is to
bring a list of officers to be elected at the coming
meeting. This committee consists of Messrs. Stickel,
Butterworth, and McKinnon. G. Th.

Boston's New Flower Market Building

The new building of the Boston Flower Exchange,
Inc. on Tremont st. will be ready for occupancy by the
first of January 1923. It is within easy access from
the South and North Stations and in connection with
all elevated and subway trains. Cars of the Tremont
st. line pass the doors. Almost unlimited parking
space for automobiles is provided in the rear where
the building reaches to Warren ave. The main floor
is given over to 301 individual stalls and along the
sides and ends are located sixteen large booths, each
with its office and refrigerating room. These booths
are 16 ft. wide and 18ft. long. Two extra large com-
munity refrigerators are situated in the middle of
the main floor. A central refrigerating plant takes
care of all the cool rooms. Abundant light and ven-
tilation are provided by a great number of win-
dows and by the immense skylight at the peak of the
dome which spans the whole floor. Henry M. Robin-
son & Co., Inc. have rented the basement for a num-
ber of years, thereby securing floor space of 22,000
ft. for their wholesale business.

Public obloquy is more spontaneous and cordial than public
dmiration is. ,

Fertility of the Atmosphere

By BERNARD FIELD

IN the carboniferous age, plants and trees were
growing with the utmost vigor. The Sigillaria and
Stigmaria left their imprints in the coal beds of
today. The geologist attributes the enormous growth
of the trees and plants to the fertility of the air, for
at that time, there were no animal manures or fer-
tilizers. The only theory possible is that the air was
highly fertile, being charged heavily with concen-
trated carbonic gas ; further the temperature was
very high. The geologist analyzes plain facts. From
the coal of today, which is mostly plain carbon, he
concludes that the duty of the flora was to deposit
this enormous amount of carbon in their tissues, re-
gardless of the amount of potash and phosphor which,
in a tree, is insignificant in comparison to the carbon
contents.

Whence Conies Carbon?

From where did this enormous amount of carbonic
gas originate? Giant trees and plants were the prod-
uct of evolution from smaller plants, like bacteria
and ferments. Bacteria being very minute plants
they absorb and secrete carbonic gas ; given a good
medium and proper temperature, the bacteria mul-
tiply very fast. In their cycle, the carbonic gas pro-
duced by their life process would explain the enor-
mous amount of carbonic gas in the air. Manufac-
tured carbonic gas is usually heavier than air.

To explain the presence of the carbonic gas at
different heights of the atmosphere, we must admit
that the gases secreted by the bacteria are in an
ionic state. Plant leaves indicate, having their sto-
mata underneath toward the soil, that they are ready
to absorb the carbonic gas coming from the soil ; if
they depended on the carbonic gas which animal life
exhales, they would have the stomata on top of the
leaves. On the upright grasses the leaves have the
stomata on both sides, but usually a larger number
of stomata are found on the blades underneath if
they lean toward the soil. From this practical obser-
vation, we must conclude that plants depend on a
source of carbonic gas produced for them by the bac-
teria in an ionic state. There are also other argu-
ments. A plant in the day time, absorbs carbonic
gas while at night it secretes carbonic gas. No life
can possibly exist and thrive on its own secretion,
therefore, the gas which the plant absorbs in the
day time, must be in a different state to the gas that
it secretes at night. Usually, the same elements in
Nature are under two stages, dextrograte or lEevogy-
rate. Pasteur found out this fact when he observed
that yeast cells attack the natural sugars and do not
ferment the inverted sugars. Chemically, both sugars
were alike except that one was turning the polarized
light to the right while the other one turned it to the
left.

Plants Absorb and Also Secret Carbonic Gas

The soil is electro-positive and whenever we want
to ground a wire we connect the positive with the
soil. Plants and trees usually carry this positive
energy in their bodies. The moisture in the soil is
split up by the radio-activity of the elements in the
soil to H. and H.O. ions. These ions revive the cycle
of the bacteria in the soil and retain in their bodies
some of these and other elements and their secretions ;
the result of their life process is a carbonic gas which
the trees and plants absorb and transform in their
leaves, in the presnce of chlorophyll and sunlight, into
starch and sugar.

Plants Make Sugar from Carbonic Gas

To make starch and sugar from carbonic gas and
water of the sap is quite a chemical process which
is only possible through the aid of chlorophyll and
sunlight. The pigment of the chloroplast is very-
green and this green color is very important to no-
tice. We can produce green color by mixing blue and
yellow. The ultra violet rays mixed with the yellow
bands of a beam of light, would reflect a green color.
This is an indication that the carbonic gas coming
from the soil, must be in an ionic state and is charged
with the energy of the ultra violet rays of light, mak-
ing possible the formation of starch and sugar in the
presence of chlorophyll. The recent announcement
that two Liverpool scientists have found a process of
making sugar from soda water, strengthens the belief
that carbonic gas coming from the soil must be
ionized. These two scientists produced formaldehyde
(or a solution of carbonic gas in water) in the pres-
ence of green malachite. When ultra violet rays of
short wave lengths were used the formaldehyde
turned directly to sugar.

From this observation we must conclude that plants

absorb carbonic gas from the air and deposit in their
tissues the carbohydrates. In other words, carbon
is more important as plant food than potash or phos-
phor. The potash and phosphor in the soil only make
possible, through their unstable chemical combina-
tion, a certain radio-activity and revive the cycle of
activity of the different soil bacteria.

Dextrogerm Aids Nature's Methods

However, we must import potash and the source of
phosphor is becoming scarce. Manure with the ad-
vance of the automobile is also becoming scarce.
Radio-active inoculated peat when produced on a com-
mercial scale will replace these elements. Through
the radio-activity of the carnotite ore, we will get
the negative electrons producing similar results as

potash and phosphor combined. It will revive th
cycle of bacterial activity. Through the peat an
leaf mold we will obtain a food and a cheap mediur
for the bacteria to thrive on. Peat is abundant ii
the United States. Through the negative electrons o
the radium, the bacteria will secrete negative ion
of carbonic gas and this carbonic gas will fertilize th
air. The sunlight and chlorplast will do the rest
They will transform it to starch and sugar in th
leaves. The plants will perform their function as
regular depository of carbon the same as plants hav
done in the past millions of years, before animal lif
was in existence.

If in doubt, try, on a small scale, fertilizing you
air by mulching with dextrogerm radio-active inocu
lated peat in your beds and watch results.

Some New Comments on Free Seeds

The problem — well called "perennial" in many c-asesr— of free seeds having been indirectly touched upoi
in the Department of Agriculture budget (by being omitted), it seems opportune to publish the following in
teresting article from a local Massachusetts paper, which article, however, apparently emanated from Wash
ington.

It points out the often forgotten fact that not all Congressmen approve the proposition, and that other;
approve it because they sincerely believe it benefits at least some of their constituents. On this we hav«
doubts. Moreover, one need but look into the history of the matter to find that the original proposal was tc
distribute seeds of new and rare plants for experiment and trial by those who could not otherwise securt
them. As it is a long step from such plants to puny packets of Radish and Turnip, so it is a lon°- descen-
from the original ideal to its present, vote getting interpretation. Some day, assuredly, the gap wilAi^ain b«
closed — or a new structure will be built up more in accord with worth while aims and real needs.

Free Seeds

From The Old Colony Memorial, Plymouth, Mass.

Washington, D. C, Nov. 29. — The perennial problem
of how best, or how at all, to distribute his quota of
free seeds is again worrying the Congressmen — some of
them, at least. The simplest method is always to have
his secretary's clerk copy the names of 22,000 constitu-
ents, taken more or less at random from the voting
lists of his district, on franks supplied him by the De-
partment of Agriculture, and return them to Mr. Tay-
lor, Chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry, with the
request that he have them pasted on the representa-
tive's allotment of 20,000 packages of vegetable and
2000 packages of flower seeds, and send them forth.
It is naturally his hope that they may eventually fall
upon fertile ground, or perhaps be rather like bread
cast upon the waters, and return to him after many
days — in the shape of votes.

But there are still some — generally the new ones

who find themselves troubled by the tbjought of the
extravagant waste involved in such a method. One rep-
resentative from Massachusetts makes a practice of
first circularizing his constituents, inquiring if they
would care to receive the seeds and Farmers' Bulletins,
which may be had for the asking. On an average,
about 10 per cent reply in the affirmative, an indication
that sending them out, broadcast, as is so often done,
is likely to mean a sheer waste of 90 per cent, except
insofar as it might benefit the Congressman personally.
when the time for his re-election comes around — which
is certainly not the Government's purpose in supplying
them.

From a material standpoint it would be much better
for the Department of Agriculture to retain, for distri-
bution through its own channels, such of the Congress-
man's quota as is more likely to go into the rubbish
barrel than into tilled ground, if he sends out his whole
22,000 packages, indiscriminately. There is a further
economic phase to the subject. Of course seeds are
sent out "franked" — which to the average mind means
"free" — but there actually is a postal cost to be paid
on each and every package. In the first instance the
Government bears it, but in the final analysis it is al-
ways the people — the taxpayers.

Massachusetts' newly elected Congressman, Charles
L; Gifford, from the Sixteenth or "Cape" District, is
one of those who is trying to solve the problem in a
manner which will not be extravagant and yet cover
the ground, so to speak. He naturally wants every one
of his fifty-:odd thousand constituents, who really desire
and. will make use of these Government-supplied seeds
to have them but he is not going to see any of them
wantonly wasted, if he can prevent it. For this reason,
at least, his plan is to (obtain from each locality voting
lists with the names of those who would be most likely
to use the gift checked by someone who is qualified to
make at least a fair guess in the matter, and send only
to them. At the same time he has asked the press to
aid in this matter of public interest, by making an-
nouncement that he will gladly receive, direct, the
names of any persons, residing within his district, who
desire to share in the distribution. So long as his
supply holds out all requests will be filled.

Free Seeds Through Literary Glasses

When one wants to read over all the good things
that have been said (though they are not very many)
about Congressional free seeds, the best place to look
for them is in the Congressional Record. However,
one is likely almost anywhere to run across testi
mony to the generally accepted fact (outside of Con-
gress) that this particular form of vote buying is
even less justifiable and more pernicious than the
average. For example, looking through the pages of
the literary Atlantic Monthly we find an unsigned
article on "Shall I Run for Congress" which, upon
examination proves to have been written by a woman.
But with the beginning of the third paragraph one
also discovers with interest that much of the essay
deals with free seeds — and that the writer writes out
of a real experience. Here are the pertinent para-
graphs that tell the old, old story :

Again, today I am mightily minded to run for Con-
gress, because our postman has just brought into oui
home the usual packet of seeds from the U S Depart-
ment of Agriculture. The packets this year 'are aug
merited by a number exactly equal to the newly quali
tied voters in the family, information as to the increased
number of these voters having evidently been con-
7.?^, .t° Washington. J should like to stop forevei
the blighted hopes and family quarrels resulting froir
the efforts of Congressmen to remain popular with theii
constituents by reason of an annual gift of seeds.

"I speak thus bitterly of these seeds from an experi-
ence of three years, during which I have confidingls
followed the directions on the backs of the packages
and sowed Congressional seeds, only to reap a harvest
of family bickerings and tough vegetables. When oui
Radishes, Beets and Lettuce have reached the table
1 have been in the habit of blaming my husband for not
haymg provided fertilizer and hoes in sufficient quan-
tities to sweeten the vegetables. I am informed thai
in the families of my neighbors in this rural section ol
Virginia the joys of Spring are lessened every year bj
. heated discussions: whether to plant the Congressional
seeds or destroy them. We are of Scotch-Irish stock
and the strain on our consciences — having to put into
the kitchen range seeds that cost money — throws us
into a state of nervous tension almost as severe as the
disappointment we experience if we put the seeds into
the ground. Besides, it is impossible that family needs
and gardening space should come out even with the
little packets. We always have an annoying surplus of
union and Lettuce seed. Does anyone ever really plant
Onion seeds, when Onion sets can be 'swapped' with
friends across the fence?

"Too late I learned that no well-informed gardener
no matter how thrifty his heredity, plants Congres-
sional seeds. Instead of being raised, as I had fondly
supposed, under the eye of the Secretary of Agriculture
these seeds are bought by Congress from the lowest
bidder, at an annual expense of about $300,000 The
impressive caption — 'U. S. Department of Agriculture
Please report the result lof your trial to this Depart-
ment — means nothing, nothing whatever. Congress
maintains no experiment station which utilizes the re-
ports of gardeners who plant their seeds. No Secretary
of Agriculture watches with paternal solicitude such
horticultural efforts. Far from it. These seeds are
sent out to obtain votes, and not to further the interests
of the agricultural sections of the United States.

"The sum of $300,000 spent for seeds — most of which
will never be planted, and none of which ought to be
allowed to usurp good soil that might be devoted to
carefully selected seeds from reputable gardeners' X
regard this annual expenditure with the same emotions
that I should feel if our missionary societies should
vote to cut salaries in the foreign field and buy Per-
sian rugs and Jacobean chairs for the office of tho
General Secretary."

A California Potato

An Easterner who had bought a farm in California
had heard of his neighbor's talent for raising large
Potatoes, so sent his farmhand over to get a hundred
pounds.

"You go back home," answered the talented farmer
to the messenger, "and teU your boss that I won't cut
a Potato for any one." — Los Angeles Times

The Pennsylvania State College

Our Lancaster correspondent gives a few reasons
why every florist grower and retailer should dig down
and, within the next few months, guarantee some
$ 1 5,000, payable in three years, to build additional
accommodation for the Penn. State College students.
The appealing point of Albert M. Herr's note is at the
bottom ; he says : "I spend half my time working for
glory and a little more time won't hurt." Lots of our
biggest business men work not a little for glory; in
fact, it is their willingness to stand in and aid in local,
State or national work that has made them big. It's
not the hermit who wins honor, esteem, and position.

The Florists Exchange

Day at the Poehlmann Bros. Plant
With the Chicago Florists

Third Big Out-of-Town Meeting, Entertainment and Inspection
Trip Proves Another Winner

REAT Oaks from little acorns grow." From the rude cabin nest great spirits wing their way to the sun. From a
few primitive greenhouses erected at Morton Grove by Poehlmann Brothers, 32 years ago, has evolved the largest
horticultural establishment in Christendom. Out of the rudimentary conditions of over three decades ago has
nfolded the purple cosmos of horticultural dreamers.

In response to an invitation from these gentlemen, the members of the Chicago Florists Club, the Commercial
lower Growers, the Allied Trades and all others interested, no matter how remotely, in horticultural pursuits together
ith their wives, sweethearts and friends assembled at Morton Grove on Thursday Dec. 7 to inspect this wonderful
tablishment. The response was fully 700 strong. Registration ran past the six hundred and a half mark and there
ere many who did not record their presence.

A. T. Pyfer

President-elect, Chicago Florists Club

The visitors were met at the entrance to Plant A by
August Poehlmann, who had the glad hand for every one.
The registration books in the office nearby were open for
visitors, who, on the completion of this duty were pre-
sented with a purple badge, and a ticket to the luncheon
and entertainment to be held at the Lincoln Tavern
following the inspection tour. Before the tour began, as
the visitors passed through the long corridors leading to
the greenhouses (while not of a musical nature) "there
were smiles that made them happy" and brightened their
perception for the immensity of the subjects that were on
exhibition in the greenhouses.

In the Cyclamen houses which were first entered, the
arrangement is such that one may see through the entire
houses at a glance. It looked like an acre or more of
Cyclamens all more or less in bloom, yet the foreman said
there were not more than 25,000 well finished plants.
Some of these were in 8in. half pots; on some could be
counted 50 well developed buds and blossoms. The plants
were all graded, each bench containing different sized
plants and pots from 8in. stock down to fours. The
Cyclamen houses were a panorama of varying colors, for
there was a gloss on the foliage to match everv glint of
color of the blooms. From 12 to 15 men are constantly
employed in the Cyclamen department.

Another range of houses given over exclusively to Be-
gonias was a blaze of color. Cincinnati and Melior are
most extensively grown. These were to be seen in hand-
some, well finished plants ranging from those in Sin. pots
down to stocky, well bloomed plants in fours. About
10,000 well finished plants with blooms so dense as to
almost completely hide the foliage is a sight more easily
imagined than described. There were a half dozen or
more men in the Begonia houses tying and staking and the
propagation by leaf cuttings for another year had already
begun. A striking feature in the Begonia display was a
half dozen or more English varieties, with much larger
flowers, some quite double, and others semi-double, and
of the most brilliant colors — scarlet, pink, and salmon.
The names of these are Optima, Pink Perfection, Hill

Beauty and Eldringham, all of which made quite art
acquisition to the other varieties, although how well
they hold their blooms no one would say.

There was still another range the gleams of which
caught the eyes of visitors long before it was reached.
This was composed of Poinsettia houses. Thousands of
specimens in from quite small pans to large ones contain-
ing half dozen or more plants, each bearing a perfect bract
of flaming scarlet. There were many of the pink varieties
and a few of various intervening shades.

A house of well shaped, well berried Solanums was also
an attraction. It looked as though it might have been
"Cherry time" at Morton Grove, although actually it
was a bleak December clay. Primula obconica occupied
several lengthy benches, many thousands of plants, all
in bloom in their particular color, contributing much to
the constellation of the other flowering plants.

The palm houses give the impression of a good sized
tropical forest. There are Kentias 10ft. high and others
all the way down to young seedlings. Some handsome
commercial sizes in 8in. and lOin. tubs filled a large portion
of the palm range. In some of the houses where the smaller
plants are grown the benches are double decked, the
smaller seedlings in 234m. to 3in. pots being grown on the
lower bench. A large number of Phoenix canadensis have
of recent years been added to the other varieties. Some
fine specimens in 12in. and 15in. tubs are on hand. Qu. 37
has brought these still valuable old plants back into
cultivation to a large extent.

A few houses of Pandanus Veitchii, well grown and
brightly colSred, made an effective appearance. Rubber
plants are grown by the thousands, house after house
containing nice, commercial sized plants in 5in. and Gin.
pots.

Boston ferns occupy a half dozen or more houses all
ready and marketable plants in from 5in. to lOin. pots.
The larger plants are arranged on pedestals through the
centers of all the benches, giving the houses the appearance
of a field of glossy green, from the benches away up to the
ventilators.

There is another block of 20 or more houses which,
while not particularly attractive at the present time, give
promise of a great future display and represent an outlay
of thousands of dollars. This is where the blooming
plants for Easter and Spring trade are coming on. Hy-
drangeas of all the leading French varieties by the thou-
sands for instance, and Cinerarias in many size plants on
benches as far as the eye could reach. Benches of well
budded Azaleas (held over since the pre-quarantine days)
are something only rarely seen.

There is quite a block of houses devoted to Geranium
growing, the stock plants growing in solid beds. Here a
dozen or more men are engaged in the taking and the
making of cuttings, the potting of the early rooted batches,
and the moving on to still larger sized pots of the late
Summer struck sizes.

A large house of the "Glory Fern" containing thousands
of plants in from 3in. to Sin. pans, made an excellent show-
ing. This is the variety Glory of Mordreeht, more robust
than Farleyense, but with all its beauty.

The orchid houses under the supervision of A. K.

The Florists Exchange

Anderson make up an interesting department. Cattleya
trianae was the principal variety in bloom with the excep-
tion of a few Phalaenopsis and a goodly supply of Cy-
pripediums. In the Cyps., insigne was in point of quantity
the largest; some fine plants of C. Sanderae (Mrs. Sanders)
were bloomed in excellent form, besides many other
hybrids.

In the houses of Cattleya gigas the side benches are
given over to Cyclamens and Begonias, the temperature
on the benches next the exterior suiting these exactly.
The interior benches in the orchid houses all being raised
so the plants are well up to the glass, leave a large space
below. Here Mr. Anderson grows 40,000 seedling Kentias
every year, there being sufficient light and heat for their
best development.

The packing and shipping rooms are all connected with
Plant A. From here 40 to 50 large crates of plants go out
daily to points all the way from the Dakotas to the Rio
Grande. When smaller shipments are handled the num-
ber is twice to three times as many. There are from 15 to
20 men continually on the go in the shipping department,
assembling the orders, wrapping, crating and marking in
readiness for the final dispatching.

Plant B is reached by passing through the boiler sheds
in which a dozen firemen, coal passers, engineers and
steam fitters are constantly employed. In Plant B,
presided over by Tone Gabel, Carnation grower, 160,000
plants are producing high class flowers each day. The
average cut at the time was about 10,000 blooms daily,
but later on this will be greatly exceeded. The varieties
grown are Thos. Joy, and Matchless in white; Nebraska,
Edna, Red Matchless and Belle Washburn in red; and
C. W. Ward, Enchantress Supreme, in pink. The
Chrysanthemums also are all grown in Plant B, a score
of houses of them, and there are many houses of Roses
in this section, too.

Plant C is a short distance removed from both Plant
A and B, and is given over exclusively to the cultivation
of Roses for cut blooms. This is in charge of Sidney
Denby, Rose grower, and under his management 400,000
Rose plants are yielding a daily cut that runs into the
hundreds of thousands in some seasons. The varieties
grown are Premier, Mrs. Russell, Mme. Butterfly, Phan-
tom, Milady, Double White Killarney, Ophelia, White
Ophelia, Mrs. A. Ward and Crusader. The small flowering
or Polyantha varieties occupy considerable bench space

The Poehlmann Bros, establishment consists in all of
about three million square feet of glass. On the pay roll
of the company in one capacity or another there are
nearly 300 employees. All this is independent of the
large wholesale house and supply department at 163 to
165 N. Wabash ave., Chicago, the combined personnel of
which numbers an additional half hundred people. John
Poehlmann is superintendent of the cut flower department,
with M. W. Tyler and a corps of efficient assistants guiding
the destinies of the supply trade.

The Luncheon

At the close of the inspection tour of the green-
houses, the entire party repaired to the Lincoln Tav-
ern where the flower show was staged. Refreshments
were served and the business meetings of both the
growers and the club were held. The luncheon was
served in cafeteria style, the members falling in line
at the door and each receiving a plate well filled with
chicken salad and other delectable eats. When all
were seated there was community singing and solos
in which Eddie Hunt of the Flower Growers Associa-
tion, the nightingale of the wholesale market, took a
prominent part.

August Poehlmann then took the floor and thanked
the large audience for the splendid manner in which
it had responded to the invitation. In the name of
the Poehlmann Bros. Co. and also as president of the
village of Morton Grove he bade the audience thrice
welcome and hoped all would enjoy themselves as
thoroughly as he wanted them to.

Mr. Poehlmann stated that they had been in busi-
ness there 22 years, having started with quite a small
place, which had since become one of, if not the
largest in the entire horticultural world. He thanked
them for the support they had given him and his
brothers in building up this large establishment. As
the business management was gradually passing from
the older to the newer generation he bespoke for the
young men who were to follow them the same sub-
stantial support. At this point the young generation
of the Poehlmann family were called to the floor and
saluted the assembly. There were John, Walter, Mor-
ton, Roland, and Earl Poehlmann, all sons of the
older brothers who founded the business.

August Poehlmann then introduced Phil J. Foley
as chairman and toastmaster for the remainder of
the meeting. Those interested in business matters
soon afterward retired to the meeting rooms while
the ladies and non-member visitors enjoyed a pro-
gram of dance and song until a late hour. The ball-
room of the Tavern was profusely decorated for the
occasion. There was an excellent orchestra and re-
freshments were abundant and free. There was never
;i more highly pleased trade gathering anywhere. It
was a meeting where all dreams came true. The
Poehlmann Bros. Co. has set a pace in entertainment

of large trade bodies that others will find it difficult
to excel if not to equal.

The Meeting

In a room adjoining the reception hall the regular
monthly meeting of the Florists Club was called to
order. Pres. Rollout stated that as it was a joint
meeting of the club and the Growers Association and
as the business of both organizations for the time was
of a similar character, the sessions were merged.

Peter Pearson, representing the growers proceeded
to distribute the cups won at the Uptown Chicago
Show. These had already been placed on a center
table in the meeting room and were the objects of
much admiration. The distribution was as follows :
Stielow Bros., Erickson & Holmburg, Peter Pearson,
Elmer 1>. Smith Go., Albeit F. Amling Co., Amling
Bros., M. Wiltgen, W. J. Keimel, and, to the Poehl-
mann Bros. Co., three cups. In the smaller awards
the E. G. Hill Co., Henry Wehrman, Jos. Kohout,
Stuppy Floral Co. and other exhibitors received hand-
some bill folds or cigarette eases for contributing to
the success of the Uptown Show.

Being called on for applications for new member-
ship. Secretary Lautenschlager sprung a surprise. Pie
had been assiduously at work all the afternoon with
a view to increased membership, and the 42 applica-
tions received constituted a record breaking achieve-
ment and brought forth great enthusiasm. At a rough
estimate nearly 100 members have been added to the
roster of the club since the October meeting.

M. C. Wright, for the Committee on By-Laws, asked
for more time suggesting that Sec'y Lautenschlager
be added to the committee as the records of the club
had to be gone over for the past 12 years to get at
the exact changes and amendments that from time to
time had been made.

T. E. Waters, chairman of the Good of the Club
Committee, made a brief but effective report. He
said the wonderful meeting and large attendance and
exhibits they had before them were evidence of the
work the committee was doing.

Herman Schiller, chairman of the Uptown Chicago
Flower Show spoke on the importance of shows and
told how they helped the business of the florists. He
favored a Spring show in the North Side Armory and
said the Uptown Business Men's Association would
support it 100 per cent. The Armory can be had at a
nominal rental for such a show and this coupled with
the strong support promised from circles outside the
trade provided an opportunity the florists should avail
themselves of.

The enthusiasm over the idea of going ahead with
the Spring show was so great that a motion was car-
ried to make all the necessary preparations ; the chair
to appoint a committee from the club to cooperate
with the growers and allied interests. All the joint
committees are to report at the January meeting. In
the meantime a splendid Spring flower show is al-
ready assured.

Peter Pearson supported every movement, favoring
the Spring show on the North Side and stating that
there should as well be a Fall show on the West Side.
He also said that the florists should get in on all
other industrial exhibitions as far as possible and
have exhibits, all these being necessary to keep busi-
ness moving.

Other speakers were Fred Lemon, Richmond, Ind.,
B. W. Murphy, St. Joseph, Mo., Joe Hill, Richmond,
Ind., and C. C. Pollworth, Milwaukee.

The election of officers was next taken up with the
result as already given.

A vote of thanks to the Poehlmann Bros. Co. for
their splendid hospitality brought the meeting to a
close, but not before Hans Jepson, on the part of the
May wood Associated Growers, invited the club to be
again the guest of the club at its next November
meeting. This 'invitation was accepted by acclamation.

The Exhibition

There was an extensive exhibit of everything in
plants, cut flowers and florist supplies staged in one
of the large rooms of the Lincoln Tavern. By far the
largest display was that of the Poehlmann Bros. Co.
There must have been over a score of large vases
with 100 or more blooms of the leading varieties
grown by them, most notable of which were Premier,
Mme. Butterfly, Mrs. Russell, Phantom, Milady,
Ophelia, Mrs. A. Ward, Ophelia Double White Kil-
larney, Crusader and others. In Carnations there
were a dozen vases or so, the most prominent varie-
ties being Matchless, Thos. Joy. Edna, Red Matchless,
Nebraska, Belle Washburn, C. W. Ward and Enchant-
ress Supreme. There was also a large vase of Lily

of the Valley, and a good showing of Chrysanthe-
mums. In plants, Cyclamen, Begonias, Solanums,
Palms and Ferns were all on display. A complete
exhibit of florist supplies was also staged under the
direction of M. W. Tyler. Gus Martial, Wm. Snyders,
and J. H. Parker of the supply department.

Other exhibitors were :

Albert F. Amling Co., Maywood. — Roses Maiden's
Blush and Silver Wedding.

Peter Pearson. — An exhibit of large flowering and
Pompon Chrysanthemums. In the large varieties
E. A. Seiddewitz and December Beauty were most no-
table. The Pompons were numerous in variety and
of fine quality.

R. F. Gloede, Evanston. — An exhibit of the new
Geranium, Mrs. R. F. Gloede, that Mr. Gloede has
been introducing to the trade for the past year.

Henry Neve, Des Plaines. — A vase of Ball's Calen-
dulas that Geo. Ball himself said were as good as he
had ever produced.

Peed H. Lemon, Richmond. Ind. — A vase of the new
Rose Amelia Glide.

Elmer D. Smith Co., Adrian, Mich. — A vase of
wdiite Pompon Chrysanthemums, variety Yuletide.

A. N. Pierson. Cromwell. Conn. — An excellent vase
of the new Rose Commonwealth. The blooms came
through in good condition, and made an effective
showing.

Jos. H. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind. — A large vase of
the new Rose America.

Stuppy Floral Co., St. Joseph, Mo. — A vase of the
Rose Annie Laurie.

The Northwestern Pottery Co. — An exhibit of flo-
rists' pots. It also provided the badges for the visi-
tors.

C. C. Pollworth Co., Milwaukee. — Vases of Har-
vester and other Carnations.

Department of Agriculture Breaks Into Burlesque

Rarely, so far as we are aware, does the dignified
Department of Agriculture, permit itself the luxury
of indulging in intentional comedy. But it did the
other day — and made a big hit into the bargain. Tlw
occasion was the Safety First parade in Washington,
D. C. (a feature of "Safety Week") and the Depart-
ment's little joke was a float bearing around its base
in black letters the cryptic legend —

EARLY PLANTING NOT RECOMMENDED'

"Say It with Safety and Save the Flowers"

U. S. Department of Agriculture

The subject of the float, however, was thoroughly-
self-explanatory, being a representation of five graves,
each surmounted by a wreath of formal type and
marked by an imitation headstone. These were in-
scribed, respectively, as follows :

A. J. Walker.

Tooka Chance.

John Bass : He thought his foot was on the brake
— but it was on "the gas."

I. Kut Korners.

M. E. First.

That the float and its gruesome but effective lesson
was really appreciated is clearly shown by the fact
that the New York Times of Sunday, Dec. 10, repro-
duced on the front of its rotogravure section a large
picture of the float as it stood in front of the White
House, with President Harding and a group of no-
tables viewing it, with smiling approval, in the back-
ground.

Bolshevik's Son — Mother, you have no constitutional right to
send me to bed without my supper. Mrs. Bolshic — What do
you mean, Ivan? "You are governing without the consent off
the governed." — Buffalo Express.

The Florists Exchange

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

Want to Go ?

Out in Alaska is a greenhouse owner
who works about eight months in the
year; the rest he spends as a vacation.
He grows mostly vegetables, chiefly To-
matoes and gets 50e. a lb. He closes up
at the end of September as there is only
five hours daylight and the ice remains on
the glass all through the Winter. Under
the circumstances it's no use trying to
grow anything in Winter. A very nice
sort of life for a greenhouse man, but
what about the folks who stay over Win-
ter to save enough to buy the vegetables
next season? On second thought, Alaska
is no place for me.

The Monarch Butterfly

After reading that the Monarch butter-
fly, a native of South and Central Amer-
ica, has on several occasions made its way
to England by its own motive power aided
by wind, I can't but think it's fortunate
this beautiful butterfly depends upon the
various milkweeds for its existence. If it
were a destructive pest what a merry
time the F. H. B. would have chasing it
down. It is said to be the most power-
ful of all butterflies and one of the most
beautiful. It breeds mostly in the
South, but its migratory instincts are such
that millions annually invade the entire
United States and parts of Canada. At
times the migratory flocks are so great
that the sunlight is obscured. Broods
are hatched during the Summer, even in
Canada, but in Winter all are exter-
minated. No broods have been known to
appear in England or other parts of
Europe, although one entomologist records
hatching an example in 1911. Most of
the 30 odd specimens caught in England
have flown the ocean, though some have
actually got across in the holds of ships.
The Monarch has also been caught in
France, Spain and Germany.

Strawberries

Legitimate advertising permits all the
boosting one cares to put into it; others
can accept things on their face value.
Publicity, however, if permitted to run
riot, may cause the layman to talk, but
the practical man is apt to judge it as
mere "bunk," especially those who believe
in calling a spade a spade.

The much boomed Strawberry may be
good and merit lots of praise, but Straw-
berries are apt to be "location" fruit;
they may flourish in one district and not
in another. If the Rockhill variety is
limited to one hill and has only been in
existence since 1918, it has never been
tried out sufficiently to warrant even a
five-line puff. More so, because Straw-
berry seedlings are very apt to go back
after several seasons. If the raiser had
not, in several seasons, propagated the
runners he showed poor judgment; if he
did propagate, then there are hundreds of
plants, and for $50,000 the buyer would
want the lot.

In any case I guess the average Straw-
berry grower will want to see the Rock-
hill a few seasons hence before he will
believe that it has every variety licked,
and that it will prove capable of repaying
that $50,000 with interest. One can say
$50,000 in quick time, but to earn that
amount, plus interest and expenses, with
one variety of Strawberry is some propo-
sition, and one I wouldn't risk beyond a
newspaper sale.

History Made in Gardens

My local newspaper quotes an interest-
ing assembly of facts taken from a London
paper. Among them is the fact that
Ambassador Harvey and Lloyd George
were seated in a London garden when the
U. S. Ambassador handed Lloyd George
the telegram relating to the invitation to
Washington to discuss disarmament. The
Prime Minister immediately jumped up,
exclaiming, "We accept gladly and grate-
fully."

It was in the old Temple Gardens, on
the Thames Embankment, that the Wars
of the Roses, which lasted about a cen-
tury, were started. Somerset and York
quarreled about Henry VI, and in a rage
the former plucked his famous white
Rose, calling on those who agreed with
him to do likewise. York did the same
with a red Rose, and so started the war
which wiped out feudalism and started
the first democratic government in the
world.

India came into the hands of Great
Britain through the influence of a garden.
Lord Clive, with 3000 men, was urged
by his staff not to go forward on a certain
February day in 1757. To consider the
matter he went into the garden, and after
an hour he rejected all advice and plunged
ahead against C0,000 troops. The battle
was over in an hour.

Jfitt and Wilberforce first discussed the
abolition of the slave trade in a famous
garden right near my old home. The sub-
ject was afterwards broached in parlia-
ment and carried through.

Doubtless the historian could discover
many other instances where gardens
served as the starting points for move-
ments which benefited mankind.

The 'Mum King

A recent issue of the Horticultural
Trade Journal contained some details
about H. J. Jones of Hither Green, Lon-
don, famed throughout the world as a
Chrysanthemum specialist, particularly
two decades or more back. It was many
years ago that 1 first met Mr. Jones, but
lie never showed any visible change until
the war, during which period he and his
wife did most of the work in the great
ranges, which, by the way, were pretty
badly shattered by air raids.

But H. J. J. ever had a great heart,
and backed by as wonderful a wife as any
many ever had, he fought off disaster, and
now look at him! He and his wife are
both 66, and despite mountains of trouble
and terrific losses, they have got right
back and put the 'Mum and incidentally
H. J. J.'s reputation where they were
30 years ago, the greatest of all show
flowers and the greatest exponent of stag-
ing them.

He was a mighty force with 'Mums 30
years ago and later, but today he does
not stop at 'Mums. To win ten gold
medals with trade displays, between Aug-
ust and November, besides a gold medal
and the Grand Prix in Paris, suffices to
show the wonderful energy, growing skill
and decorative ability of this old timer.
Mostly everything he has taken up has
become a popular favorite. His wonder-
ful collections of Phlox in pots, in May
and June, with cut displays later;
Michaelmas Daisies and Geraniums have
all won him gold medals and awards
galore for new varieties, for he is a most
successful hybridist, although he gives all
the credit for Geraniums and many other
things to his wife.

Judging by his portrait, H. J. Jones,
at 66, has got back his youth of 20 years
ago. Here's to him and her; they have no
family.

Heating Notions

Scientists foresee the eventual utiliza-
tion of wasted heat including that of the
sun, but the latest step toward this desire
is the heating of a building by friction.
The November issue of S^atijig and
Ventilating Magazine contains some notes
regarding a scheme installed by a Kan-
sas City flour milling concern. The heat
generated by the grinding machines
through friction is caught from the ex-
haust pipes and, after making a com-
plete circuit of the building, it is let
loose by the same methods as in a hot
air apparatus. The firm expects to save
at least 300 tons of coal a year.

The idea offers endless possibilities; we
might capture all the hot air that flows
around the various congressional halls;
the heat generated by the dancing fans
offers possibilities while we might even
get a considerable amount of heat from
the rushing, tearing florists and growers
around Christmas and easter time.

Potash Marl

The trouble with a great many of the
fertilizers, spray fluids, etc., that we use,
is the large percentage of inert or use-
less material contained in them. It's not
improbable that the average insecticide
and fungicide sold in fluid form, if the
bulk of the water were left out, could be
packed in a half pint can instead of a
gallon, the only difficulty being that those
containing soap would be more trouble
to mix.

Some people are fond of telling us that
ordinary stable manure contains but a
few pounds of real fertilizer per ton, but
the mechanical effect of the organic sub-
stances which make humus, count for a
lot. Analysts will tell us that spent Hops
from the breweries have but a minute
amount of nitrogen, etc., and yet I would
just like the chance of handling spent
hops for the general run of crops. But
with madeup fertilizers, there is usually
a big proportion of inert material, and
the cheaper grades contain a tremendous

bulk of it, which makes such fertilizers
much more expensive to use than the
higher grades.

Just of late a lot of stuff has been
handed out regarding potash marl, but ac-
cording to a New Jersey State report,
this marl costing $35 to $44 a ton, is
actually worth manurially about $3.50.
The potash content is 5.90, phosphoric
acid 2.06, and lime 2.40. Old timers used
marl for its mechanical effect on light
soils, but if they had had to pay $35 a
ton they wouldn't have touched it. And
yet some declare, as we get older we get
wiser.

Leaves

Considerable benefit would result to
most soils if fallen leaves were utilized.
Dumped in a heap, with a little acid
phosphate and all the hen manure avail-
able with sufficient soil to keep the whole
in place, leaves make a dandy mixture,
which can be worked into the ground in a
few months. Some people advocate
throwing leaves, etc., in a pit, but treated
so, they decay very slowly and develop
considerable acidity. All the _ leaf com-
post requires is sufficient moisture and
occasional turning over.

Bacteria in Soils

We are hearing not a little regarding
the "bugs" which play so important a
part in soil fertility through Bernard
Field's articles. In the main, we are all
prone to delude ourselves that this or
that must be so, because someone else
has said so. Self delusion — it's called
auto-suggestion in these days — is claimed
to do a lot; Coue, who through the good
services of a publicity agent, has at-
tracted much attention, is, after all,
only telling us the same thing as has
been advocated by the Christian Science
sect; if one can only think hard enough
we are capable of deluding ourselves that
we haven't toothache or rheumatism, but
as Harry Lauder says, it takes a bit of
doing.

But when it comes to soil science, we
have to accept what the chemist and in-
vestigator says and whether he is right
or wrong, we ordinary mortals can't
challenge his statements and therefore
we just believe it is so. We all along
have known that soil rich in humus, is
apt to be acid and, to counteract acidity,
we use lime. But Mr. Field tells us that
acid soils when surfeited with natural
nitrates become alkaline. He further
tells us that certain bacteria can then de-
nitrify, changing the nitrates to ammon-
iates.

Hitherto, we have been led to believe
that lime was needed to make soil alka-
line and thus unlock the nitrates; in fact,
certain nitrates such as sulphate of am-
monia, are said to be available to plants,
only after the ammonia has been changed
to nitrate. Further, if we mix lime with
soot or poultry manure, the nitrates there-
in are changed to ammonia and vanish.
Anyone with a nose can quickly realize
this. Mr. Field is getting me all "balled"
up; ammonia as such, cannot be used by
plants until changed to nitrates and with
few exceptions, all chemical fertilizers
contain nitrates in ammoniated form,
yet Mr. Field tells us one crowd of
"bugs" are working to ammoniate every-
thing, while the other lot is working the
reverse way.

Seems to me Dame Nature went mad
at some time or other, otherwise she
wouldn't have set this perpetual see-saw
in motion. Maybe there's method in her
madness for the ammonia only goes into
the air and is again brought to earth by
rain or through fallen foliage and ap-
plied humus. But why all this? It gets
me all "het" up.

Synonyms

The trade in general is trying hard to
overcome the troubles that are apt to crop
up through the various synonymous va-
rieties of plants and seeds, and, with the
general publication of Standardized Plant
Names, things will, no doubt, be easier for
all concerned. But the trade of the United
States has not to face the vast number
of Potatoes as are cultivated in Great
Britain. John Fraser's Twentieth Century
Potatoes describes close on to 900 varie-
ties, and while not a few of these have
gone out of cultivation, the number cata-
logued by the various seedsmen and spe-
cialists is legion. Firms like Sutton &
Son, Webb & Co., Dobbie & Co. and
Fidler & Son, up to recent times have
listed 100 or so sorts, and only the ad-
vent of the wart terror has brought about

a reduction; Dobbies, I believe' have cut
out all non-immune sorts. The semi-
government trials at Ormskirk, which
have been running for some years, have
not only shown up the immune and
susceptible varieties, but they proved
many synonyms, and to meet the case,
several of the big firms placed their ex-
perts at the disposal of a synonym com-
mittee presided over by Dr. Salaman.
The work of this committee was made
known recently through a "tirade" lecture
given by Dr. Salaman. The slashing com-
ments on the trade by the worthy doctor
certainly made the trade sit up.

Having been something of a Potato
"bug" myself, it certainly is an eyeopener
to learn that some of the most popular
Potatoes in England have as many as
seven synonyms. Some firms have listed
several, giving each special attributes.
And yet it would be idle to declare that
such synonyms are all deliberate. The fact
that one stock is superior to another under
the same conditions proves otherwise, and
likely as not many of the superior forms
originated as seedlings. It is easily pos-
sible from a big batch of seedlings to se-
lect forms which resemble older sorts,
and if after thorough testing a seedling
proves superior, it merits some distinctive
title, although, unlike flowers, the distinc-
tiveness is not easily apparent. So far
as I am aware, the only synonymous va-
rieties among American raised Potatoes
are Noroton Beauty and Quick Lunch, va-
rieties we don't hear much of in these
days.

Rain as a Fertilizer

It has long been recognized that plants
appreciate rain in preference to artificial
watering, and that rain water contains
elements which stimulate growth. Many
old school gardeners make a point of
catching all the rainwater possible in
tanks inside their greenhouses. A year
or so ago, an English scientist demon-
strated that the atmosphere held consid-
erable quantities of "salts," which are
washed down by rain, but it has remained
for F. T. Shutt of Canada to carry out
experiments with a view to showing how
much nitrogen is supplied to the earth
through rain and snow. From the 79
samples of rain and 25 of snow he deduced
that the total amount of nitrogen supplied
annually by the average precipitation of
844 mm., is 7375 kilograms per hectare.
A kilogram equals 2 lbs. 3 oz., a hectare
2.471 acres. And yet we buy nitrates.

Daylight Saving

According to a report, the New Jersey
Horticultural Society in convention at
Atlantic City, Dec. 6, went on record as
being unanimously against daylight sav-
ing. That being so, the N. J. H. S. need
not bother to look my way for member-
ship. It seems, too, that Chairman W. H.
Reed declared that for once the farmers
felt satisfied with their representative.
We are told, too, that Senators So and So
will form the neucleus of a farmers' bloc.
Yes, sirs! but what I want to know is
where farmers and the N. J. H. S. get
the idea that they rule New Jersey and
can prevent any city or village from
adopting daylight saving? More interest-
ing still, the N. J. H. S. approves strict
enforcement of the Volstead Act; the
legislation as to highway funds; a limit
to the size of motor trucks and a few
other things. In fact, judging from the
N. Y. Times report, the N. J. H. S. talked
of everything save horticulture.

And to think I live in New Jersey.

A Chance for Sec'y J. Esler

We sometimes imagine we know all
about hailstorms in America, but a news
note from Quimbu, Griqualand, South
Africa, informs me that during a recent
storm there, 14 natives were killed by
hailstones, some of which weighed ten
ounces.

If there are any greenhouses in that
neighborhood, hail insurance ought to be
popular. I should want to be in a bomb-
proof shelter when, the weatherman start-
ed throwing chunks of ice of that size,
especially when owing to the height from
which such a bombardment starts, the
"stones" would land with the force of a
cannon shot.

A New Apple Weevil

The British Ministry of Agriculture, in
its Journal, reports a new pest of the
Apple, which, while allied to the common
Apple blossom weevil, is even more de-
structive, because it attacks the buds. The
pest is known in France and Germany
also, where it does much damage to Pears.
Its introduction in Britain is assumed to
have come about through the importation
of nursery stock.

The Market

Dec. 11. — After the Bachelors Co-
tillion Monday night, the demand was
light and decidedly slow for the rest of
the week, but with the exception of
white Roses and white Carnations, most
of the stocks were cleaned up by Satur-
day night. This week opens up with dark
weather and flowers in general are re-
ported scarce, with but a weak demand
from the stores. Chrysanthemums are al-
most over, only a few straggling lots,
and very few fancy flowers.

Roses are gradually working up to
Christmas crops; Carnations, except
w-hite, are on the short side; orchids are
very shv, and single Violets are not plen-
tiful

Poinsettias are ready with most of
the growers and can be had on order. The
list of other flowers are in supply equal
to all the demand.

News Notes

We are happy to report the rapid
recovery of John Cook; all letters now
received by the family, bring the good
news from Miami, Fla. The doctors all
agree it will be but a short while before
Mr. Cook is up and about as usual. Her-
man is expected home on Friday.

William F. Ekas has mailed out cards
for his annual Christmas show and plant
sale opening, .on Monday, Dec. 18. He
will handle a line of foliage plants, like
Dracamas and Pandanus, in addition to
flowering stock this year.

The boys of the American Jobbing Co.
are doing a rushing business in Christmas
supplies. The firm occupies the entire
bunding at 314 West Mulberry st.

George and Eddie Kress, Jr., always
hit the Christmas market right with a
big crop of Carnations; their plants now
are covered with buds and flowers. Among
the new fancy varieties are Laddie, Thos.
C. Joy, Maine Sunshine and the old
favorite, Beacon, which is just as good as
ever.

Peter Kohles has eight big greenhouses
all in a row, and they are light, bright,
clean and up to the minute. All are filled
with a big line of Christmas stock, that
is just about finishing up for the holidays.
The Cyclamen are a snow, and Charlie
Osol has added another triumph to his
long list of achievements. About 4000
plants all told, in sizes from 4in. to lOin.
specimens, with flowers and foliage that
seem marvelous. We attempted to get a
photo of one large specimen, with Pete
and Charlie hiding back of it, but, un-
fortunately, we fell down on the picture
job. Poinsettias, Begonias, Primulas and
other pot plants are all in prime condi-
tion. The two houses of Carnations are
timed just right, being in full flower and
bud. Chrysanthemums are about over,
but the season's cut was the best ever
grown on the place. The benches are now
all filled with Sweet Peas, Snapdragon,
Cinerarias, Geraniums and pot Roses.

F. H. Pierce of the Lore! & Burnham
Co., Philadelphia office, was in town on
Monday last, and carried home with him
Wm. E. Babikow & Sons' order for ma-
terial for two new full iron frame green-

houses, 134ft.xl8ft. These will add to the
range built last February by Lord &
Burnham Co. for this progressive, upto-
date firm.

It is a little early to report the Holly
crop. Some of the commission houses say
scarce and some plentiful and full of
berries.

E. W. Heinbuch of Rosedale, Md., has
fine promise in his Cyclamen and Primula
plants. He is shipping to the S. S. Pen-
nock Co.

Fred C. Bauer has been shipping Nar-
cissus Grand Soleil d'Or for the past two
weeks.

J. J. Cummings & Son will be on hand
with a plentiful supply of fine Roses and
Carnations. Jim says they never looked
in better shape.

Frank E. Cremer of Hanover, Pa., has
a most promising crop of Poinsettias to
ship in to William F. Ekas.

Sieck & Glick will handle a big cut of
Poinsettias and Euphorbia jacquiniajflora.
The stock is fine this year, and they report
all their Rose men will be on crop.

Chris. Gregorino has a fine lot of Cycla-
men plants, and the Stevia, too, looks
awfully good. * * * It is rumored
that Carnations will be shy this Christ-
mas, especially the colored varieties.

"We have not been so fortunate as to
meet with R. Vincent, Jr., since his re-
turn from the Florida trip, but we learn

Bangor, Me.

Here in the State of Maine there are
many happenings among the various flo-
rists that would be of interest to the
hundreds of readers of The Exchange,
but these items go to waste because they
are not reported for publication. As a
correspondent for The Exchange it is
up to me to dig out this news and get it
to the publishers at the earliest possible
date for publication.

So that the florists throughout the
State will know that I am at their serv-
ice in any way possible, I am writing
personal letters asking that they send
to me interesting items about themselves,
their business, or of things pertaining to
floriculture.

Through the agency of these columns,
I ask that the florists of the State co-
operate with me in making a representa-
tive State — and not cause it to be a
Shadow in the mist, just for the lack of
boosting it.

The weather man will sure have to be
on his job day and night to keep us
posted on weather conditions — and then
he may lose out to Dame Nature. Fri-
day morning at 6 a.m. the thermometer
registered exactly zero in most parts of
Bangor. By noon snow was falling rap-
idly, and at 6 p.m. the snow had turned
to rain and the thermometer registered
about 30 deg. above zero.

Sweet Pea Growing on Long Island

On this page we show an exceptionally
clear picture, taken from an elevation,
in the greenhouse, of one of the Sweet
Pea houses of Karl Breem, Lynbrook,
L. I., in which the plants were grown from
the seeds of Roman J. Irwin. This is a
house 200ft.x42ft. Another house, 200ft.
x.32ft., is also devoted to Sweet Peas.
The plants in our illustration were grown
from seed supplied by Roman J. Irwin of
New York.

Mr. Breem informed The Exchange
representative that no seeds ever reward-
ed his efforts more satisfactorily than
these, particularly so in the manner in
which they have produced absolutely true
to name, there being no surprising mix-
ture of colors as sometimes greets the eye
of the grower. The flowers, by the way,
are shipped to the 18th St. Market, New
York, and handled there by Samuel C.
Gilbert, Inc.

On the whole the week has been very
cold. On Thursday and. Friday the ther-
mometer registered the coldest for the
season to date ; namely zero, and accord-
ing to various reports, has registered
lower in some sections.

Supply and demand for cut flowers
and holiday stock are normal, but local
florists are looking for good business dur-
ing the coming two weeks.

The florists who have retail shops in
the business section of the city are get-
ting their windows decorated for the holi-
days.

A. E. Stantial of Belfast was in town
Saturday. He reports that he is now
ready for business, having completed his
new King house. He is stocking up on
holiday plants, and intends to have a
good supply of bedding stock for Spring
sales.

G. S. Seavey & Son have taken in their
first pans of Golden Spur Narcissus from
the bulb pits. The stock is in fine con-
dition and has made fine growth. An
early crop is expected from these bulbs.

A. J. Loder reports a fine cut flower
business and is much encouraged by the
F. T. D. orders he receives. Some time
ago he received an order for flowers to a
party in Switzerland which was prompt-
ly forwarded via the F. T. D. Last week
the party to whom the flowers were sent
called at his shop and expressed her ap-
preciation of the quality flowers received
from him — through the F. T. D. service.

F. W. Milliken of Mechanic Falls.
Me., writes me that in his travels about
the State he finds business good and

stock in general of good quality,' espe-
cially 'Mums and Carnations.

He recently visited the G. M. Roak Co.
(Hugh Roak, proprietor), Auburn, Me.,
and states that they have opened an ex-
clusive retail store on Court St., the first
shop of its kind in the city. He says
that Mr. Roak has a fine store and equip-
ment. Auburn is a very progressive shoe
manufacturing town and a florist shop
of this kind in the business section of
the city ought to be welcomed by the pub-
lic. The location is one of the best that
could be obtained, thousands of people
passing the store every day going to and
from their work. H. E. S.

Auburn, N. Y.

A shortage of flowers was the most
noticeable feature -of the past week.
Chrysanthemums, except Mistletoe, are
gone and Carnations are not producing as
they should, due, no doubt, to the dark
weather of the past two months. Pa-
perwhites are in but do not move at the
increased price. Roses in all grades,
while good, are too high; unless we have
some bright weather, cut flowers will be
scarce for the holidays.

Plants are fairly plentiful and of good
quality, except Cyclamen. Holly has ar-
rived, which means a little pre-holiday
activity for florists. This year the
Holly is very good — clean foliage and
well berried. W. B

Uncle Robert

_ Coming Christmastide, it is well to
give our readers an extract from a letter
just received from Uncle Robert, whose
latest party we described on page 1550:
"You ought to see my mail. Writers,
authors, bequests, donations — and I think
if the postman gets any letter addressed
to Santa Claus be leaves it for me. I
laugh many times when I open some of
these letters and learn what is in the
minds of the kids. One, for instance,
wrote asking for everything he could
think about, and then said he supposed
he would get his usual present — a bag of
Peanuts — but wanted Uncle Robert to
help him keep well and happy!"

Publicity Advertising Campaign

We are in receipt from John Young,
secretary of the Si A. F. and O. H., of
some sample advertisements which are
at present appearing and to appear. The
most ambitious of these is in colors and
represents a young woman who has just
opened a box of beautiful long stemmed
Roses, evidently received as a Christ-
mas gift, original and taking. Jewelry
and other gifts are lying on the table,
but she evidently appreciates the Roses
over all for these she is clasping to her
breast. This advertisement appears in
the December issue of House and Garden
and Vanity Fair, out from Nov. 20 until
after Christmas. Also the December is-
sue of Vogue, out Dec. 5. These dates
are important, as they cover the Christ-
mas season. Every retail florist receiv-
ing the color sheet is requested to display
it in his window until Christmas. Full
page advertisements for December have
appeared in the following magazines of
the Quality Group: Scribner's, Atlantic
Monthly, Century, World's Work, Har-
per's Monthly, Review of Reviews. Other
full single column advertisements appear
in Collier's Weekly, Life and the Out-
look.

All this advertising has been made
possible through the enterprise of the
contributing members of the Society of
American Florists who have invested in
the "Say it with Flowers" National Pub-
licity Campaign.

As is pointed out, the continuance of
this advertising calls for further sub-
scriptions. If yours has not been sent
in, why not attend to the matter now?
Subscriptions can be given for one, two
or three years, at so much a year, for
whatever amount you desire to contribute.
Cheque should be forwarded to John
Young, Secretary, S. A. F. and O. H., 43
West 18th st., New York City.

be salesmanship alone, although salesmanship will
help immensely once the buyer gets into your shop.
But unless the florist is content to entrust bis growth
to the above named "maybes," something must be
done to first get the necessary customers within the
shop.

One of the most helpful ways is by advertising.
There is newspaper advertising, which if worked out
along a planned series, will prove helpful. While, of

OCT. 11 saw the opening at 1622 Pacific ave„ At-
lantic City, N. J., of a handsome flower shop
under the proprietorship of Charles L. Fischer.
The store is 25ft. wide by 60ft. deep. The conserva-
tory in the rear is 17ft. by 40ft., Lord & Burnbam
No. 2 iron frame construction. All of the fixtures, as
well as the beams and wall mouldings, are of oak,
finished in silver gray wax, making a very serviceable
and beautiful finish, and contrasting well with the
walls, which are tinted a light tan, the ceiling being
ivory.

The fixtures and all the hardwood work, including
the conservatory entrance doorway, were finished and
erected by the Standard Refrigerator Co. of Phila-
delphia, Pa. There are two lights at the conservatory-
entrance doorway, which are used as night lights
and give passersby a very pretty picture of the door-
way and, in fact, the entire store.

The floor of the shop is of linotile, dark gray blocks,
Sin. square, with black interlining strips. Mr. Fischer
states that this makes a very satisfactory floor — easy
to clean, warm, and very resilient.

The cellar, which is the same size as the store, is
waterproofed. While this is not unusual to most flo-
rists, it is quite so in Atlantic City, where the water
level is less than 4ft. below the surface. While the
cellar was a great expense, Mr. Fischer considers it
was worth what it cost, for here he can keep all his
supplies, reserve stock of baskets, boxes, accessories
for decorations, etc. A large wall case in the cellar,
enclosed with glass doors, makes it possible to keep
baskets, novelties, etc., dust free and in good condi-
tion. Another portion of the cellar is enclosed and
so constructed as to remain naturally cool. This
serves very well for storing greens, and the reserve
stock of flowers. There are two entrances to the
cellar, one from the store and one from the rear out-
side. There is also a rear exit from the store which
permits all deliveries to be made from there.

Mr. Fischer's son, who has spent some time with
Max Schling in New York, manages the store. Mr.
Fischer himself continues in the growing end of the
business, which he has maintained for a number of
years at 27 North Kentucky ave.

At Christmas play, and make good cheer,

For Christmas comes but once a year.

Publicity that Penetrates

By CLARENCE T. HUBBARD

THE selection of a florist shop by a buyer is in-
fluenced by three things — advertising, the recom-
mendations of others and "happenstance." Many
times the purchaser of flowers is actuated by impulse.
Perhaps the shop is a handy one to drop into. Per-
haps the customer is on friendly terms with the owner.
Possibly the service rendered carried impressions, or
it might be a culmination of these things. It cannot

course, the real ambitious and progressive florist will
combine newspaper, window, poster and general ad-
vertising, yet it is nevertheless possible to gain a
good deal by newspaper advertising alone. As one
successful florist advertiser said, "You've got to do
more than keep your name before the public — you
also have to keep the public before your name." And
judging from the volume of business he enjoyed he
did.

Newspaper advertising resolves itself into several
different types. There is the "splurge" type of pub-
licity, which consists of a full page spread, once a
quarter or so, and then nothing again for a long
period until another full or half page scream is at-
tempted. Such advertising is, no doubt, helpful in
announcing the opening of a new shop or the an-
nouncement of some very special sale, new equipment
or the addition of auxiliary lines. But as the stimu-
lator of general sales, the daily advertisement is the
better puller.

Many merchants are finding success in running a
small distinctive advertisement each night or three
times a week. Generally the same amount of space
is used. Sometimes it is just a small column wide
advt. running four or five inches in length. Again, it
is a two column advt. running four or five inches in
length. Again, it is a two column advt. bearing a cut,
but the point is — it is a certain distinctive type of
advertisement which lends itself to copy and which on
each insertion is bound to attract more attention
than the hit or miss type of publicity. This plan of
advertising has the same effect as a trademark. It
is often enough to impress the reader with the name
of the buyer even at a glimpse.

Retail florist advertising for local purposes can-
not be of too serious a type. Following is a sample
of the character of publicity that penetrates to the
pocketbook.

There are some favors money won't pay for
Kindness of neighbors
Automobile rides
Trouble lifts
Dinner invitations
Business courtesies
Special funds
When you are thankful, grateful and indebted
for valuable favors — favors you cannot pay
for in money

Another specimen of the type of pub-

in the following bit of copy :

"He said to us

ocean breezes and too near the

keep, inexpensive and worth

**Say it With Flemra" while they can answer

The florist who chooses some particu-
lar style of advertising for his store and
then follows that type will help in popu-
larizing his place. The style of the ad-
vertisement will after a while be recog-
nized, which in itself is a good feature.
Cuts are not entirely essential, and
while they help considerably, the florist
can identify himself just as well by the
type of "copy" he uses. He can adopt
a special way of writing his advertise-
ments— a conversational style, a slogan
style or distinctive way. Whatever the
method employed, it should be used con-
sistently and perpetually to gain the best
results. The constant repetition of the
same impression gains the consideration
of the reader. Perhaps only a small
border used to enclose all copy will serve
the purpose.

Notable Retail Advertising

Mas Schling of New York, it must be
freely admitted, does considerable adver-
tising, the most of it effective advertising.
The present reproduction we would pass
on as effective in almost every respect,
our criticism, if any, being directed
against the last four lines, three of which
are not as distinct as they should be.
Because the lettering is out of the usual,
and because of its important position in
the paper — second page next reading —
this ad was bound to attract the reader's
attention. The entire ad is hand written,
we take it, and photographed down. We
doubt if it would pay to retain this same

style of penmanship continuously. Regu-
lar foundry type should be employed at
least five times out of six, or in its place a
somewhat stronger hand writing should be
used, avoiding all appearance of crowding.
The impotant question, however, above
and over all, is, Does advertising pay?
Coming down to particulars, does it pay
the retail florist? Max Schling's con-
tinued use of the advertising columns of
the large New York papers seems to give
the answer without further question. If
it did not pay, these ads would not be
seen. It must be considered also that the
medium of publicity, in this case the news-

§aper, cannot do it all. There must be
ervice, with a capital "S," to back up any
and all publicity and advertising efforts.

Trade News

Since Thanksgiving there has been
a slight depression m business conditions
here. But the outlook for Christmas
trade is very encouraging, as many ad-
vanced orders are being booked. The
retail stores are gaily decorated with
Christmas stock, such as berries, red
Ruscus, evergreens, cones, wreaths, rop-
ing, etc. Artificial stock seems to hold
a prominent place with many of the flo-
rists.

The market is not overstocked at pres-
ent, the demand far exceeding the supply
on all choice stock. The moderate sup-
ply of first grade Roses is not nearly
equal to the present call. Carnations are
more plentiful, and a few Narcissi have
made their appearance. Snapdragon and
Sweet Peas, Valley and Orchids are avail-
able, but the demand is not great.

There is a better selection of pot plants,
including Cherries, Begonias, Cyclamen,
Primula, ferns and palms. Poinsettias
will be popular, as this is always a good
seller at Christmas. Prices will be
moderate. A. B.

Thanksgiving Trade Short

Another Thanksgiving Day has
gone by and apparently it has left a
bad taste in the mouths of the local re-
tailers, the consensus of opinion being
that it fell far short of last year. No
one seems able to assign a reason for it.
Observation of other business houses
leads one to believe that money was quite
as plentiful as last year. For what rea-
son then were flowers neglected by the
public? Their appropriateness for the
season was extolled in the local press by
the advertisements of the local florists
association, with apparently meagre re-
sults. It looks as though it might be ad-
visable for the association's Publicity
Committee to get busy and investigate.
The opinion of outsiders appears to be
that results cannot be expected from
spasmodic efforts; in other words, the
expenditure of a big sum of money for
advertising display for a few days pre-
vious to a special event, is not likely to
be noticed by the public sufficiently to
effect an increase of sales. Successful
advertising calls for continuous opera-
tion and how to gain public attention
and interest is for the members of the
local association to work out. One thing
is certain, constructive work on the part
of all will be required to put such a
thing over.

To be frank, certain members of the
trade today are following a system which
is acting as a destructive element in the
work of, and to the future well being of
the Seattle Florists Association. The
rules of the association forbid certain
trade practices, why are they not strictly
enforced by the officers? Not that the
latter are solely to blame, for it is the
duty of every member who has the wel-
fare of the association at heart, to local-
ly back the officers and so enable them
to perform their various duties. This
criticism is offered in a friendly spirit, and
we hope will be so accepted. Let us start
the coming year of 1923 in a get-together
spirit and make it a year of construction
and upbuilding of the florists trade. Treat
patrons fairly, give value for money re-
ceived, let pricesl be fair to them and
yourselves and stick to them. Today,
price cutting and family squabbles are
at the root of all local troubles. Clean
them off the slate in 1923.

Contrary to the reports from the retail
stores, the local wholesale house reports
a good Thanksgiving business, with sup-
ply just meeting the demand. Chrysan-
themums cleaned up by Thanksgiving
morning. Out of city trade was heavy.

There is a good supply of fine quality-
Roses in variety; 'Mums and Carnations
and some extra good Sweet Peas are
coming in from local growers. Valley,
Bouvardia, white and pink, Paperwhites,
Violets and Calendulas are all in fair
supply. In pot plants Oranges, Ericas,
Solanums and Cyclamen of excellent qual-
ity are available, also Primulas and
'Mums.

Increased inquiries for Holly and Mis-
tletoe from mid-western points are reach-
ing the B. E. Hammond Co. California
Mistletoe at 50c. and Oregon at 40c. per
pound are arriving in quantity. Berried

Rosaia Bros, have a special display of
pot plants, including Primulas, Cycla-
men and Solanums, priced at popular
prices, at their Third ave. store this
week.

The Kenney Home of Flowers has been
closed by the committee of creditors who
have been operating it for the past year
under the managership of Will Desmond.

Robert Farquhar, nurseryman, Belling-
ham, was a visitor at the Richmond
Nurseries on Monday last.

Six hundred Rose bushes, the gift of
the Seattle Rose Society to the Campus
Rose garden of the University of Wash-
ington, have arrived and are being
planted under the superintendance of
President H. L. Collier of the Rose So-
ciety.

Plans are going forward for a Spring
Tulip show to be followed by an Iris
Show in Seattle. Doctor C. Ballon is
chairman of the committee with 0. B.

Thorgrimson and H. L. Collier as mem-
bers. Large numbers of Tulips, mostly
Darwins, have been specially planted for
this exhibition by enthusiasts, while
thousands of bulbs have been distributed
through the schools of the city to the
children, with a view to engendering a
love for flowers among them.

During the past week the City Parks
Dept. has staged an effective Chrysan-
themum exhibition in the conservatory
at Volunteer Park. It reflects great cred-
it on Jake Umlaff, the popular foreman.
A new and up-to-date orchid house is in
course of erection adjoining the Volun-
teer Park conservatory; such a house has
been greatly needed and no doubt will
meet with public appreciation. Orchids
are another of friend Jake's hobbies and
he has gathered a fine collection.

Trade Prospects

Dec. 9. — Flowers may be scarce
for Christmas in Kansas City and terri-
tory. Already wholesalers are getting
inquiries and advance orders and their
information from growers indicates that
there will be no surplus production. In-
deed, some growers are said to be watch-
ing the corners closely, and nursing with
exceeding care to have stock exactly in
season, because of the prospect that the
normal production will not be reached.
Roses are most affected by this situa-
tion.

" One of the newer factors in trade in
Kansas City is the Heather, which is
now to be an all season feature of the
market, consigned by the Kramer Co.
of California. Heretofore, Heather has
been offered only at Christmas, or at
Easter; but it is now to be available and
to be offered by retailers, every day until
until Easter. Samuel Murray may be
credited with developing the steady de-
mand for Heather. He is the only flo-
rist, it is stated, who has offered it con-
sistently, day after day. Several years
ago he recognized the value of Heather
to the consumer and has kept it in stock.
Now the trade generally has taken up
the item. Mr. Murray has featured much
heather in pots also.

Two recent incidents, having no obvi-
ous connection with florists, have served
to indicate the increasing attention to
flowers. One was the convention of the
MissouriTvansas-Oklahoma) ' Hotel Men's
Association, the decorations for which
have already been mentioned.

John Willy, publisher of a hotel month-
ly magazine, delivered one of the most
significant addresses of the convention on
the subject of the small town hotel. He
reported observations made on a motor
tour, of hotel conditions and he was ex-
tremely pessimistic over the condition of
small town hotels generally. It was in-
teresting to note that his chief advice was
that steps be taken by large hotel as-
sociations, to produce better atmosphere
around small hotels. And in the same
breath with better sanitary conditions,
he urged the use of flower pots and
boxes, and the making of flower beds in

grounds of small town hotels. Flowers,
he said, would do more than any other
one thing to enhance the appearance and
add to the attractive impression made
by the small town hotel, now in such un-
desirable repute among travelers. The
second important recent incident touch-
ing on flowers, was the visit of Robert
Grier Cooke, president of the Fifth Ave-
nue Association of New York. Mr. Cooke
made a deep impression on Kansas City
business men regarding the need for beau-
tification of the downtown district and
he emphasized the value of flower spots
in the Fifth ave. district, for such pur-
poses. He referred to improvement _ of
the setting of monuments in this district.
It had not occurred to Kansas Citians
that flow-ers had any place in decoration
of downtown districts, but they have a
new thought now.

Spokane, Wash.

The Market

'Mums are still plentiful with later
varieties beginning to come in. Thanks-
giving trade cleaned up most of the
Tm-ners. Fine examples of Mistletoe,
Seidewitz, Chadwicks and Enguehardt are
coming in. Carnations, especially larger
varieties like Laddie and Superb, are of
fine quality; the supply about equals
demand. Roses are scarce and severe
weather of the past few days has cut the
crop to almost nothing. Excellent Bou-
vardia is coming in from several growers.
Violets from California are of good
quality, but not much in demand. Green-
house Violets are being received from
Helena by several of the stores. Pot
'Mums are about cleaned up, which leaves
Cyclamen and Primroses as second choice.
A few stores are showing Peppers and
Cherries, but only a few are looking for
this class of stock.

News Notes

Christmas stock of 'Mums at
Bernson & Halle Greenhouses at Glenrose
is being timed just right and they look
for a fine crop for the holidays. Thanks-
giving business as a whole was consid-
ered very satisfactory; pot 'Mums at

popular prices cleaned up well, as did
large cut 'Mums and Pompons. The
Pompon 'Mums were plentiful and great
quantities were sold in baskets and by
the dozen for the Thanksgiving table.
Total business for the holiday was a
pleasant surprise to most of the retailers.

Large yellow 'Mums with letters in
black also red Carnations lettered in
black were two specials put out by Cul-
bertson's Flower Shop. These sold well
for the annual Thanksgiving Day game
between the two high schools. Tinted art
flowers in well arranged baskets at popu-
lar prices are being shown here and are
selling well.

H. L. Ollson & Co. are supplying the
decorations for the large department
stores again this year. Fir roping and
wreaths are being used both inside and
out. Business places in general are be-
ing decorated and are rapidly taking on
their holiday appearance. With about
one foot of snow on the level and tem-
perature ranging around 15 degs. above
zero, it looks like Winter had come to
stay. George F. Skinner.

Home Made Candles for Decorative

Needed "Truth in Advertising"

We are inclined to commena to a cer-
tain retail florist of a certain Western
city, a copy of whose newspaper ad. (ap-
parently printed late in November) has
recently been sent us, the slogan adopted
a few years ago by the Associated Adver-
tising Clubs of the World — namely:
"Truth in Advertising." We might also
suggest a little more care in the prepara-
tion of the advertising copy, such as the
correct spelling of "Janquills" and "Lil-
lies," and the importance of saying "It is
not too late to plant when that is meant,

instead of "It is now to late, etc." Dis-
tinctly misleading advice appears to be
involved in the rather indefinite sug-
gestions to "Grow your own 'Mums next
year by planting roots now. These are
in pots and can be planted in the gar-
den now or can be left in the pot to
grow as a pot plant. One of these will
produce $3 or $4 worth of cut flowers
at a trifling cost. No trouble to take care
of and they produce more flowers every
year."

We would like to know just what sort
of 'Mums this ad refers to, and also how
general is the practice of setting pot

oses

There came to the desk recently from
Seattle, Wash., three decorated home
made candles, one in light and dark shades
of green, ornamented with three Poin-
settia flowers; one in terra cotta color
at the base, merging into light orange at
the top, and decorated with bunches of
Grapes, Apples, and a Poinsettia; the
third was orange throughout in color, with
a resplendent old Hallowe'en witch mount-
ed on it. These candles are the handiwork
of Mrs. Samuel A. Dunlap, who is a past
master in decorative work, and she uses
these for any purpose to which such
candles can be put to advantage.

Mrs. Dunlap is the wife of Samuel A.
Dunlap of Hollywood Gardens. This
present is appreciated, and the candles
ivill grace the writer's Christmas table.

about.

Cincinnati District

The regular monthly meeting of the
Cincinnati District of the N. F. G. A.,,
which was held on Dec. 6, was, as usual,
well attended, only six members being
absent. At our November meeting an-
other new member was taken in, in the
person of George Lutz, and at our De-
cember meeting held on above date, we
received the application of three new
members, namely, Mrs. C. Witterstaetter,
Wm. A. Earlier and Ben A. Reidel. Co-
operative advertising, among all of the
florists of Cincinnati and vicinity seems,
to be the predominating issue and the
most of the time was consumed in dis-
cussing this feature of the business. The
question of growing, fertilizers and new
varieties of Chrysanthemums, Pompons,
Carnations, etc., also play an important
part at these meetings. Let it also be
said that the good fellowship feeling is
not overlooked, and if there is any infor-
mation that will be of assistance to any
of the members it is readily forthcom-
ing, the idea being to elevate the flower
growing business to the highest point pos-
sible.

There is to be a meeting of commit-
tees appointed by both the growers and
retail men some time in the near fu-
ture, at which time we hope to formulate
some definite plans covering the adver-
tising end.

Let it be said that Mr. Taylor was not
to be outdone by the members at whose ■
places the previous meetings were held,
and at the close of the meeting we were
invited tq partake of a very palatable
luncheon which he had prepared for us.

The next meeting is to be held at the
range of 0. B. Murphy, on Wednesday,
Jan. 3. Joseph Imholte, Secretary.

Retailers Meet

Mrs. Percy Waters, Danforth ave.,
entertained the executive of the Toronto
Retail Florists Club, on Dec. 6. Nearly
all the members were present and were
treated to a sumptuous dinner. At a
business meeting, presided over by G. W.
Geraghty, president, it was decided to
thank the growers for their cooperation in
making the flower show at club's booth
at the Royal Winter Fair a success. Steps
were taken to carry a large advertise-
ment in four daily and two Sunday
papers, in connection with Christmas
trade. A vote of appreciation was given
Mrs. Waters for her kind entertainment.

Gleanings

Geo. Hatcher, florist, Avenue rd.
and Dupont St., won several prizes at the
Royal Winter Fair with his canaries.

Mrs. Barber has been asked to fill the
uncompleted term as president of the
Ladies S. A. F.

Miller Bros, will have 10,000 Azaleas
for Christmas. They will also have a big
cut of Roses. * * * Dale Estate,
Brampton, has been supplying some beau-
tiful potting to Toronto florists. * * *

A newcomer has purchased the Dan-
forth store of the Misses Linecar. Miss
Linecar reports business good at their
store corner Broadview and Danforth
aves.

G. M. Geraghty of Dunlops, Ltd., finds
trade steadily improving. There is con-
siderable funeral work. In connection
with Robert Oliver leaving, on Oct. 9, to
manage the Ofield store at Hamilton, Mr.
Geraghty said it looks as if Dunlops, Ltd.,
were running a florists' school for Hamil-
ton florists. Frank Smith and E. Gale of
Hamilton were formerly with Dunlops.

People's Florists have been doing a good
business. Mrs. Moore says the cold weath-
er is keeping people at home, and is en-
couraging social affairs, so the demand for
flowers has been improving. * * * The
Arcade Florist has purchased a new Over-
land truck. It has a special body of light
blue with gold letters. * * * George
Jackson opened a new florist store at
3035 Dundas st. West, on Saturday, Dec.
9. He had a full line of flowers, plants,
Christmas wreaths, etc.

John Dunlop, Richmond Hill, will visit
the Rose and Carnation show at Cincin-
nati in January. * * * Miller Bros.,
Lander ave., nave installed a new re-
frigeration system. * * * G.W.War-
ren has a sign on his truck which is arous-
ing considerable comment: "Get the
Christmas Spirit in Your Home." People
dropping into the store are asking where
to get it. Mr. Warren is booking many
advance orders for Christmas delivery.
Stock is plentiful and there will likely
be a good supply for Christmas with the
possible exception of Roses.

A visit to the greenhouses of Wm. Jay
revealed an excellent assortment of ferns,
Dracaenas, etc. There were also many
benches of flowering plants, all in good
shape for the .Christmas trade, including
Azaleas, Cherries, Cyclamen, Poinsettias,
Primula, etc. Ferns were arranged in
baskets for Christmas trade. A special
feature of Mr. Jay's is the rustic basket
of moss and ferns. These are attractive
and are in big demand at Christmas. A
large number of Christmas wreaths are
being made up for the Christmas trade.

Hamilton Gardeners Dance

The regular meeting of the Hamilton
and District Gardeners and Florists As-
sociation was held on Monday, Dec. 4,
with the president, Major Sawell in the
chair. A report was given on the an-
nual dance held at the Royal Alexandra
Academy on Nov. 22. The hall was a
mass of flowers for the occasion and sev-
eral floral prizes were given to competi-
tors. The attendance was 335.

Peterborough Floral Co. has well stock-
ed houses for Ch,rifftmas. The trade
during the past few months has been ex-
cellent.^ In fact, they report the best
trade in bulbs yet experienced.

Big Store Opening

E. Gale, manager of the John Con-

Eastern Canada Nurserymen's Association Established

OFFICERS FOR 1923

President, Senator E. D. Smith

Vice-President, Major John Connon

Secretary, C. H. K. Baillie

Directors: E. B. Luke, E. R. Clarke, S. E. Davidson, F. Wellington

A meeting of Canadian nurserymen was held on Dec. 5 at the King Edward
Hotel, Toronto, to consider the forming of an association along the lines of the
American Society of Nurserymen. Senator E. D. Smith of E. D. Smith & Sons,
Winona, presided over a fair attendance, all those present with one exception,
coming from different parts of Ontario. Much interest in the object of the meet-
ing had been created in other provinces, sympathetic letters being read from
leading nurserymen in the maritime provinces and Saskatchewan. A letter from
T. Torgeson, secretary of the Western Canada Nurserymen's Association, strongly
urged the formation of the national society. Unfortunately, there has been some
opposition to the proposal by a few leaders, and at the meeting it developed to
the extent of defeating the original proposition, a motion to establish an Eastern
Canada Association being carried by a small majority. It is unlikely that this
arrangement will continue indefinitely. There will certainly be a strong effort
made to think and act nationally on such an important matter. The organiza-
tion as established can and doubtless will do good work, but as it will be unable
to speak for the whole Dominion, it is plain that there will be serious limitations
in its effort and scope.

Constitution Drafted

A constitution was given careful consideration and adopted, this providing
for officers and an Executive Committee. Meetings of the association are to be
held once a year at different centers, the work of the organization being carried
on in the intervals by the officers and committee. It is proposed to admit as full
members, only those actively engaged in the nursery business. Provision is made
for the admission as honorary members, of those who have shown special ability
as nurserymen or those who have rendered unusual assistance or outstanding
service to the nursery industry. While these will not be voting members, they
will be relieved of all fees and be welcomed at all meetings. Incorporation will
be applied for at once.

Officers Elected

The officers elected are given at the head of this column. These officers act
as the Executive Committee to carry on all work between annual meetings and
are elected for one year. E. B. Luke was appointed to represent the association
on the Canadian Horticultural Council.

Code of Ethics

One of the features of the meeting was the adoption of a code of ethics
which those present agreed to use and act up to. This is the first time any horti-
cultural organization of this kind has taken such a step and it will possibly have
a good influence on similar societies. After careful consideration it was decided
to use the code of the Illinois Nurserymen's Association for which permission
had been secured and accordingly the following code was adopted :

First — To consider my vocation worthy, as affording me distinct opportu-
nity to serve society.
Second — To improve myself, increase my efficiency and enlarge my service,

and by so doing attest my faith in the nursery business. ■
Third — To realize that I am a nurseryman and a business man and ambi-
tious to succeed ; but that I am first an ethical man and wish no success
that is not founded on the highest justice and morality.
Fourth — To hold that the exchange of my goods, my service, my ideas for
profits is legitimate and ethical; and that it shall be my aim that all
parties in the exchange are benefited thereby.
Fifth — To use my best endeavors to elevate the standards of the vocation
in which I am engaged.

Report of Deputation to Insect Pest Board

Major Connon gave a detailed report of a recent interview with the Do-
minion Insect Pest Board when a number of nurserymen and members of the
Canadian Florists and Gardeners Association made up a deputation to ask for
reconsideration of the proposals recently made by the board for inspection of
nursery stock. A four hour meeting was held at Ottawa with the board, the
subject being analyzed from all angles. The strongest representations were made
to the department, showing how impractical and hurtful it would be if the sug-
gestion to inspect all stock at port of entry instead of at destination was adopted.
It was reported that while no definite decision was given out, the board was
sympathetic and it was hoped that a favorable result would be secured.

Report re Freight Rates and Classification

F. Wellington reported on an interview with the Railway Board with refer-
ence to a revision of freight classification that had been proposed and which
would have increased freight rates on nursery stock about 30 per cent. It was
reported that after quite a lengthy conference with the board, the classification
was allowed to remain almost as before, the only alteration being a slight
increase in minimum carload weights. Unfortunately, express rates on perish-
able stock are now almost prohibitive and a strong effort is to be made with a
view to securing some relief.

Miscellaneous

Other subjects discussed were education of the public in the use of orna-
mental plants, the question of securing annual statistics of nursery stock sales
required by the statistical bureau and the important matter of eliminating from
cultivation, a number of undesirable varieties of fruit stock. On each of these

quiring eight cases of Southern Smilax,
200 yds. of Laurel roping, 100 flowering
plants, hundreds of red wreaths, palms,
ferns, baskets of 'Mums and other flow-
ers. Several thousand Roses were sup-
plied for giving to ladies attending the
opening. The store was a bower of beau-
ty. One of the clerks told The Exchange
that "Saying it with Roses" was greatly
appreciated by the ladies. The crush
to obtain them was evidence of that fact.
This is a class of business which might
be encouraged to the mutual benefit of
merchant and florist.

Clarence Price, 477 King st., East,
Hamilton, has built a new front on his
store, putting in two windows. He has
added a new Ford delivery truck with
gray body and lettering in gold, to his

Ofield's of Grimsby, have taken over
the Arbor Flower Store at 113 King st.
East, Hamilton. This is a well equipped
store adjacent to the Spectator Arcade,
from which it also has an entrance. It
is finished in ivory with tiled window
and mirrored walla. A large storage and
workroom is in the basement. The store
will be managed by Robert Oliver, who
has been with Dunlops, Ltd., Toronto,
for the past two years.

Hamilton florists have been displaying
a great deal of artificial flowers in bas-
kets and wreaths. There has been a good
demand for these for Winter cemetery
decorations. * * *Mr. Rooke of Rice's
and Harry Brant of Wertheimer's were
recent visitors to Hamilton.

J. S. Orlowski Floral Co., Kitchener,
have built a new boiler room, 26ft.x35ft.

has several thousand plants. He has a
good crop of Carnations and Sweet Peas.

* * * W. W. Gammage, London, now has
a fine range with Lord & Burnham houses
replacing the old wooden ones. These have
been planted with Azaleas, Cyclamen,
Begonias, etc.

Carl Grobba, Mimico, is holding his
annual Christmas trade show at his
greenhouses on Thursday, Dec. 14. He
has 50,000 palms and ferns and 30,000
flowering plants. The Exchange was
given an advance view and found thou-
sands of Azaleas. "Better than last year,"
said Mr. Grobba; Cyclamen, Poinsettias,
ferns and palms also by thousands. The
long benches in the rows of houses were
masses of, bloom and it looked as if there
were enough flowers to supply the whole
of Canada.

The annual short course at the Onta-
rio Agricultural College, Guelph, in Flori-
culture and Landscape Gardening, is
from Feb. 12 to March 3. The course in
fruit and vegetable growing will be held
Jan. 22 to Feb. 10.

W. W. Walker, St. Catherines, finds
trade better this year than last. He has
a large quantity of Azaleas and Holland
stock. * * * Alf. Wesley of Pepperlow,
Ont., reports large orders of Cedar, both
for Christmas and for general use in
design work. He decorated the floats
for the Eaton procession.

The London and District Gardeners
and Florists Club has been formed and
officers elected as follows: Honorary
president, W. W. Gammage; president, J.
H. Taylor; vice-president, F. Gilbert;
secretary-treasurer, J. G. Gammage; ex-
ecutive, E. E. Graham, Emery B. Ham-
ilton, A. Roberts and G. Benlow. An en-
deavor will be made to bring all flo-
rists, gardeners, growers and seedsmen
into the club.

The 59th annual meeting of the Ento-
mological Society of Ontario was held
at the Ontario Agricultural College,
Guelph. There was a discussion on the
Corn borer, which has become so firmly
established in Elgin and Middlesex Coun-
ties. A film of the Corn borer was
shown, this being a part of the campaign
of education in connection with its eradi-
cation. G. C. K.

Christmas Greeting

Members of the profession in Canada
extend to their comrades in the United
States heartiest Christmas Greetings.
That the finest Christmas spirit may be
fully realized by everyone who may read
these notes is the sincere message from
"across the border."

Montreal, Que.

One of the most successful events in
the history of the Montreal Gardeners
and Florists Club was held in the Mon-
treal West City Hall, during the past
week, when upward of 70 gardeners, flo-
rists and friends partook of a dinner pro-
vided by a special committee, consisting
of Messrs. W. C. Hall, E. J. Hayward
and R. Scott, assisted by the following
ladies : Mesdames Hall, Hayward, Scott,
Miller and others. These ladies bought
and cooked the necessary which was a
great success.

After the dinner came the usual
toasts ; first and foremost the King fol-
lowed by toasts of kindred societies. Mr.
Luke of the Montreal West Horticultural
Society, in his remarks, spoke of being
that day at the Macdonald College where
the fruit growers meet, and a show of
Apples grown in the province of Quebec
was staged. Something new was shown
by a grower from Abbotsford in the form
of coreless, seedless, Fameuse Apples.

Mr. Ainsworth of the Verdun Society
and Mr. Wilshire of the Back River So-
ciety each spoke of their success in the
horticultural world. That veteran pri-
vate gardener, John Walsh, replied for
the craft and others had something to
say for the success of the M. G. & F. C.
After the feast, dancing, bowling and
other sports were indulged in ; altogether
a very enjoyable evening was spent.

A visit to our local florist stores is
both instructive and edifying. In some
stores, plants and flowers are so arranged
as to prove almost irresistible to those
visiting the store ; in others they seem
out of harmony to the surroundings, a
lot of dull colors that should be relieved
with bright or light colored flowers. Of
course they are in the minority. They
should take note of those others who are
more sensitive to the harmonizing of col-
ors. In a window display, this should
be carried out to the limit. A mass of
plants jumbled in anyhow is not attrac-
tive. Mount Royal.

Success Culture of Snapdragons

Adolph Fischer, wholesale Chrysanthe-
mum grower, Easton, Pa., favors us with
a few hints on Snapdragon culture. These
hints are printed on a small slip and we
presume he distributes the slip to his
customers. We take the liberty of pub-
lishing the information which is good and
to the point.

(1) To avoid rust on Snapdragon grow
them where they will have plenty of
drainage. Fill three to five inches of
ashes or cinders in the bottom of either
solid or raised benches and cover with
five or six inches of good rich soil which
should be mixed with plenty of sand.

(2) Water only when needed, in the
mornings of bright, clear days.

(3) Spray weekly with nicotine and
ordinary yellow soap. The soap should be
melted in hot water, using one cake to
five gallons of water. The nicotine should
be used as follows: one teaspoonful to
one gallon of water.

(4) Give the plants plenty of venti-
lation, the more the better.

(5) Plant one foot apart each way.

The Market

Mild weather has not helped busi-
ness any; as usual, with Christmas about
two weeks off, there is always a letup in
trade. Roses are coming in with Colum-
bia plentiful long. Many of this variety
arrive bull headed or buds are ill shaped
and crippled. Of course, these grades
find the only outlet at the bargain coun-
ters. 'Mums are slowing up and the
stock now is confined mostly to Pom-
pons. A few fair sized white and pink
are seen. Pussy Willows are displayed
on the counters of the wholesalers.

The retailers are busy getting their
Christmas novelties in shape, but the
Christmas supply of flowers is the weath-
er proposition. Much will depend on
this. Carnations are improving daily
and good stock is now quoted at $3 to $4.
Narcissus is quoted at $6. Outside of
Columbia, the Rose stock is about nor-

mal. There is, however, not a few But-
terfly. Holly will arrive about the 15th.

Within 300 Miles of
Philadelphia there are:

1, Eleven States, with, a population of some
34,000,000 people, or about one-third of
the entire population of the United States.

2. About one-half the cities in the United States,
which have a population of over 100,000.
Six of these cities are in excess of half a
million people.

3. About 7750 florist establishments (according
to the 1919 Census) who do a business
amounting to almost one -ha If of the entire
florist industry in the United States.

In addition, Philadelphia is well supplied with
flowers of all kinds, and well equipped to take
care of the business which its unique position
indicates.

Philadelphia is the logical market for South-
ern buyers, even beyond the 300 mile range.

No other city in United States has such ad-
vantages of location.

The Market

Dec. 12. — The general supply of
flowers coming in to the wholesale mar-
ket at this time is considerably below
medium, and the same is true of the de-
mand. This well balanced condition
keeps prices firm, and gives a slight up-
ward tendency to the prices of such items
of stock as are in rather short supply.
The most notable exception to the above
general statement is the fact that the
present demand is not absorbing readily

the special grade American Beauty Roses
and long-stemmed stock of other varie-
ties, all of which seem to be in rather
large supply; the prices of these are by
no means firm and inclined to weaken.

American Beauty Roses are in rather
large supply. Prices covering all grades
range from 5c. to 50c. each, with occa-
sional sales of choice specials at 75e. Top
grade blooms of other Roses are bringing
from 15c. to 40c. each on first day sales,
but not a few held over have to be dis-
posed of at the price of lower grades.
No. 2 grade Roses are fetching $4 to $6
per 100. These and the other grades up
through extras are meeting with a de-
mand which absorbs the supply.

The arrivals of Carnations are by no
means large, and the present demand,

though not overactive, is using these
up at prices ranging from $4 to $10 a
100; Laddie, as usual, bringing an excep-
tional price, namely, $12 to $15. Cat-
tleyas are not in large supply. The small-
er blooms of variety Percivaliana are
going out at 25c. to 50c. each, and those
of better grade at 75c. to $1. Such va-
rieties as Trianee and Labiata are sell-
ing at $1 to $1.50 each, and hybrids are
bringing $2 and upward. The very mod-
erate supply of Cypripediums is selling
at from $3 to $5 a doz. and the small but
increasing supply of Oncidiums at 15c.
per flower.

Gardenias are in larger, but not large
supply, and are selling at from $2 to
$5 per doz. Lily of the Valley is mov-
ing sluggishly at $4 to $8 per 100 for

any blooms worth while. The moderate
supply of white Lilies has advanced in
price and these are in fair demand at
$20 to $25 per 100, but the even smaller
supply of Rubrums is going at last week's
price, namely $8 to $15 per 100.

In bulbous flowers, beside the Lilies,
there are Callas selling up to $3 a doz.,
Paperwhite Narcissi at 75c. a bunch, and
Soleil d'Ors at $1.50.

In miscellaneous flowers, Chrysanthe-
mums are passing off the stage rapidly,
but some of the large flowered varieties
are selling at $1 to $6 a doz., and a few
Pompons at 25c. to 50c. a bunch. There
is a medium supply of Bouvardia of ex-
cellent quality, and also of Antirrhinum;
a small supply of Mignonette, Myosotis,
Yellow Daisies, Wallflower, Didiscus,

HERMAN WEISS

Wholesale Florist

Stevia, Poinsettias, Violets, single and
double, and a large supply of Sweet Peas,
all of which are meeting with a moder-
ate demand at quoted prices.

As regards greens, there are the us-
ual indoor kinds, namely: Asparagus,
Maidenhair Fern and Smilax, which are
meeting with a medium demand at quoted
prices; and large arrivals of all kinds
of hardy greens and boughs of berried
shrubs, including Holly, and also Christ-
mas trees. The deliveries of Holly have
been somewhat hindered by an embargo,
which has existed for the past ten days,
but now fortunately lifted, which pre-
vented Holly in carload lots being deliv-
ered in Brooklyn, New York or Jersey
City, and which put the large dealers of
this city to the trouble of hauling from
other freight delivery points quite a dis-
tance from the city.

The Influence of the Approaching
Holidays

As the Christmas holidays draw
nearer, their effect is clearly seen on all

branches of the cut flower and plant
trade. The growers are watching their
greenhouse ranges closely in an endeavor
to send in to the market at the psycholo-
gical time as great a number of cut flow-
ers and plants as possible. The whole-
salers of cut flowers are trying to get
as accurate an estimate as possible from
their growers as to how many flowers of
the several kinds will be shipped in to
meet the holiday demand. The retailers
are visiting the plant growing establish-
ments and placing their orders, and also
are seeing to it that everything is ready
in their flower shops for quick action
when the holiday trade begins. The flo-
rist supply and ribbon houses and the
handlers of hardy evergreens are exceed-
ingly busy right now shipping out holiday
goods to the retail flower shops. The flow-
er trade, in fact, in its every _ branch,
shows in the general preparation now
going on an air of expectancy, and con-
fident hope and optimism, which every
friend of the flower business is pleased
to observe.

Emil Schloss, president of Schloss
Bros., Ribbons, Inc., 31 East 28th St.,
says their novelty red ribbon with
green edge for trimming plants and also
their silver ribbon for debutantes, is
meeting with an especially large demand.
There is also a heavy call for orange col-
ored ribbons for trimming Orange
plants. Their travelers, says Mr. Schloss,
are booking and sending in large orders
and city business shows much improve-
ment the past few weeks.

At William Kessler's, 113 West 28th
St., Christmas plants are coming in good
enough to line up with the fine Roses
which he receives daily. Among these
plants are some extremely fine, larga
Cyclamen, even though Cyclamen are ex-
ceedingly short this season., tens of
thousands of them in the hands of ex-
perienced and skilled growers of this
plant having been ruined by mites and
thi-ips. With the Cyclamen are some
splendid specimens of that ever favorite
Christmas plant, the Poinsettia. At this
store we also noted this week, sprays of

Cotoneaster well provided with hand-
some orange-colored berries, and Heath-
er. Both of these came across the conti-
nent from the Pacific Coast.

Among the full line of Roses which
James Rutig & Co., 43 W. 18th st., are
offering for Christmas, is a regular sup-
ply of extra special Premier. Cut Poin-
settias will also be among the Christ-
mas offerings of this firm, which is also
making a special feature of Asparagus in
three sizes, particularly in the medium
sizes of extra quality.

If anyone doubts for a moment that
H. E. Proment, 43 W. ISth St., is a
specialist in Roses, he will soon be con-
vinced of his mistake if he will drop
in any morning and take a look at the
large arrivals of the many sorts that he
is offering to the regular daily trade,
and especially at this time for the Christ-
mas holiday trade. We will not enum-
erate the varieties, but will simply say
from personal observation that we know
they are all there.

(Continued from page 1643)
Calling on Henshaw Floral Co., 43 W.
ISth st., this week, we found Charles For-
:man, the manager of the florists' supply
department and his assistants exceed-
ingly busy with their counter trade and
•eveu busier in their shipping department.
The demand for Christmas specialties,
Mr. Forman tells us, is very large. The
■cut flower department, the manager, Paul
Rigo, assures us, is going to have not only
the cut flowers which you can find there
in a very full line every day, but a little
larger and more varied line, of even a
little higher quality than usual for the
'Christmas trade. The new wholesale
branch store at Newark, N". J., in charge
of Maurice Shoenholz, will also be ready

to meet all Christmas demands upon it
from the trade just as it is ready to
meet all the regular daily demands now.

Samuel C. Gilbert, 43 W. 18th St., we
note is exhibiting sample evergreen
wreaths for the trade; he did a very
large business in these for Christmas
1921. In the cut flower line for Christ-
mas, besides Cattleyas, orchids in all the
seasonable varieties, and a full line of
other seasonable flowers, Mr. Gilbert is
offering Sweet Peas in a large line of
varieties in colors.

Jos. S. Fenrich, 43 W. 18th St., is in-
augurating for his Christmas trade, a
feature which has long been called by
retailers and is now very desirable,
namely, he is appealing to his retail cus-
tomers to place their orders for Christ-
mas for the very complete line of Roses

and other flowers which he is receiving,
at an early date at a fixed price. The
point which Mr. Fenrich makes, and
which seems to be a good one is this:
When the retailer places his order for
flowers he knows he is going to have
them, he knows what he is going to pay
for them, and consequently, he knows in
taking orders from his own customers
what prices he will have to charge.
Therefore, as regards the matter of sup-
ply and price the retailer is relieved of
all worriment.

Kottmiller

Kottmiller is always a busy man,
either at his handsome flower shop at 426
Madison ave., his Ritz-Carlton or Vander-
bilt Hotel Shop, or when, in the Sum-
mer season, he has a little leisure time,

at his Manhasset, L. I., nursery. Re-
cently he has been especially busy with
decorations for debutante affairs and De-
cember weddings. One of the more not-
able of these was the debutante dance
and dinner at Sherry's given in honor
of the coming out of the daughter of
Mrs. Stuart Hanna. In this decoration
Kottmiller used 500 blooms of the Chrys-
anthemum December Beauty. Japanese
lanterns and umbrellas and arches of
Bamboo cane entered into the elaborate
scheme. * * * For the debutante dinner
dance given at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel by
Mrs. Walter P. Bliss for her daughter,
the major features of the decorations
were large baskets of Melior Begonias
placed in 8ft. urns, and pink Lilies in
tall torches. At the wedding of Mrs.

Katherine Force to Major Lorrilard
Spencer at the home of her sister, Mrs.
William Dick, Kottmiller furnished the
bridal outfit and also the house decora-
tion in which pink Roses alone were
used. * * * Most notable, perhaps, of all
his recent floral decorations, however,
was that at the Francis Xavier Church
and College consequent on its 75th anni-
versary. The hall decorations were big
Cedars, Cibotium Ferns, Bay Trees,
Chrysanthemum plants, and hanging bas-
kets of Boston Ferns. The decorations
were placed Dec. 4 and replenished as
far as necessary each day until Dec. 10,
when the event closed with a dinner, at-
tended by the most notable civil and
religious officials of this city and else-
where, at which the 18 tables were
decorated with yellow and white flow-
ers.

Among the recent callers in this city
were Robert Miller, Farmington, Utah;
Thomas Roland, Nahant, Mass.; Wallace
R. Pierson, Cromwell, Conn.; M. C.
Myers, New Haven, Conn.

Alois Frey will return to California
this week, expecting to get there to spend
Christmas with his family. He was in
attendance at the Poehlmann Day cele-
bration at Morton Grove last week, and
said it was the best florists' meeting he
ever attended.

Hans Jepson is preparing a descriptive
catalog of Chrysanthemums for the trade.
He has 90 standard varieties of the large
flowering types, including all recent novel-
ties. He has 40 varieties of the leading Pom-
pons. Sweet Peas, grown in small lots
and held in frames, have been planted on
the Chrysanthemum benches and are mak-
ing excellent progress.

The E. F. Winterson Co. is doing a
large business in decorative material, a
large force' being employed in the making
of Holly and Lycopodium wreaths. Ed.
Winterson, who spent the greater part
of the Summer at his home in Highland
Park, will give the business of the store
his full attention until after the holidays.
Besides selling holiday material, Mr. Win-
terson is a great booster for ''Commercial
Floriculture," by Fritz Bahr. He sells a
copy almost daily, and is recommending
it to his friends and fellow florists.

The officers and directors of the Flo-
rists Club have much felicitation over the
results of the last three meetings; 42
new members at the last meeting, 14 at
the former, and 18 at the October meet-
ing, makes a good sized membership of
itself. Then 22 life members since the
drive for life membership was open is a
record to be proud of. In this connection,
Sec'y Lautenschlager has done himself
proud. The next meeting will be held in
the Randolph Hotel, Jan. 4, when the
newly elected officers will be installed,
and a program of special entertainment
features will be provided.

Peter Pearson calls attention to the
fact that the January meeting of the Com-
mercial Flower Growers will be an im-
portant one. By that time the committee

on the Spring flower show will have a
complete report. There will not be any
time to lose, and it will be only by the
heartiest cooperation a Spring show can
be staged. He urges a large attendance.
B. W. Murphy of the Stuppy Floral Co.,
who came here for Poehlniann Day, re-
turned Friday, highly satisfied with his
trip. In all his connection with the florist
trade, he stated, he never enjoyed a flo-
rists' gathering as much as he did the one
at Morton Grove, Thursday.

Milwaukee sent a strong delegation to
Morton Grove, Thursday, Headed by C. C.
Pollworth, H. V. Hunkle and Jas. L.
Kennedy. They all returned on a late
train, highly pleased with all they saw and
the cordial reception accorded them by
the Poehlmann Bros. Co.

A. Lange has been in the florist business
in Chicago 41 years, starting in 1881 with
James Farrell as a partner. He is still
hale and hearty ana has established a
business of widespread proportions. Last
week he had the decoration of Hammond
Country Club at Hammond, Ind., for
which he was highly complimented by the
directors.

Otto Goerisch of Zech & Mann Co. has
been on the sick list for the past week,
giving the other help in the store an in-
creased amount of labor at an unusually
busy time. Allie Zech celebrated another
birthday, Saturday, and passed the cigars
freely to friends and customers. He com-
ments on the good supply of late Pompon
'Mums for which there still continues to
be a lively demand.

The Chicago Evening Post of Wednes-
day, Dec. 6, told of the circumstances
which prompted P. F. O'Keefe of Boston
into the coinage of the slogan, "Say it
with Flowers," how it came into existence
and its subsequent spread throughout the
country. Those prominent in trade circles
say it was a wonderful piece of publicity,
much credit is due to whoever put it
over.

The Woman's National Farm and Gar-
den Association will hold a two day con-
ference at the La Salle Hotel, Dec. 11
and 12. An excellent program is provided
for morning and evening sessions each
day. Mrs. Frances King is chairman of
the conference. Prominent speakers will
be here from many different sections of
the country. John C. Wister of Phila-
delphia will tell of European gardens,
with illustrations on colored slides. Din-
ner and luncheon will be served each day,
plates limited to 100, at $1.50 per plate.
A. K. Anderson, orchid grower for
Poehlmann Bros. Co., states they have
discontinued the cultivation of all Onci-
diums, as they did not sell. When the
general public wants to buy orchids, it
wants something bright and showy like
the Cattleyas. Mr. Anderson is an old
timer in the florist business, and has seen
all the great places in Europe and
America. Born in Sweden, he had his
early training there, and in Denmark as
well. For some time he was in charge
of the finest plant collections in Russia.
In Germany, Austria, Bohemia and Eng-
land he was at one time or another con-
nected with the largest plant growing
establishments. He states, however, that
the Poehlmann Bros, establishment is the
most uptodate, extensive and best
equipped he has ever been employed in.

W. S. Dolan, Kansas City representa-
tive of the American Greenhouse Mfg.
Co., w-as in the city the past week. He

reports trade good in Kansas City, so
much so that many of the leading growers
are going to extend their glass area im-
mediately. At Independence John Stevens
gave an order for one standard steel-frame
house, 41ft.x300ft. R. W. Betts is going
to build two more uptodate houses. Chas.
Laundy will build two houses in the Spring.

Barnhart's Observations

A Permanent Label

I am enclosing a sample of garden and
tree label of my own devising, after try-
ing every other sort that has come under
my notice during the last quarter century.
It is somewhat expensive — 50c. each —
cheap in the long run, because quite in-
destructible.

When fastened to galvanized stakes or
on the tree, with copper wire, these labels
are good for generations to come. You
will observe that the common names, as
well as the botanical name is burned on
the plate, at a temperature of 2000 deg. F.

A Fast Growing Tree

I am also enclosing a leaf, and under
separate cover a cluster of seeds of the
most rapid growing tree ever given a trial
on the Pacific Coast. A native of the
warmer parts of South America, it en-
dures about as much frost as aJ Lemon
Tree, without losing its leaves. Six years
ago I planted one on good ground, where
it got plenty of water during the Summer
months, and it is now 3ft. in diameter at
the base, and 25ft. high. It was about
as thick as a lead pencil when planted.
It belongs to the same tribe as the Poke
Berry of the East. As a pot plant, if
fed well, it is a very luxuriant subject,
and makes a fine decorative or conserva-
tory plant. The name of this tree is
Phytolacca dioica.

Roses by the Million

The Morris Bros, have leased 40 acres
of land near San Fernando, on which they
will plant the rooted Rose cuttings now in
frames in Alhambra, when planting time
comes next Spring. This will be the Rose
growing center in this part of the State
for a number of years come. Literally
millions of bushes are being grown for
the Eastern markets.

Howard & Smith have 75 acres of
Gloire de Rosamon stocks, all worked and
ready for topx^ing when the warm days
return. They grow budded stock exclu-
sively. The other firm grows own root
stock.

California Bulb Growing

Recently I visited Frank Warner, the
bulb growler of Inglewood, and made in-
quiry about the mite, which someone has
said would ruin all Narcissus bulbs on
this Coast. He declared that the pest has
not appeared in his fields. I have myself
grown these same bulbs in quantity, and
never saw one affected with disease or
insects.

To determine whether Pacific Coast
Narcissus bulbs are equal to those im-
ported for forcing, he sent 1000 to a
Chicago grower of cut flowers. The result
of the test will be awaited with a great
deal of interest by the fraternity of bulb
growers here.

To save water and the expense of its
application, Mr. Warner has his entire
acreage covered with planing mill shav-
ings. This method of mulching also saves
cultivation of the ground. It has been
practised for 15 years by E. H. Rust, in
his nursery establishment, with gratifying
results. Mr. Warner has 100,000 Spanish
Irises just peeping through the ground,
and 25,000 in bond on the Atlantic Coast,
imported stock, which when received will
be planted, but by the terms of the
F. H. B. must not be disposed of for
three years. The foolishness of such rul-
ing is apparent to any practical grower
of stock. The same rule applies to
Aspidistras, when a permit is granted for
importation.

Model Town to Order

The plans for the new. town site — Palos
Verdes — southwest of this city is being
prepared by the Olmsteads, and work on
the great project will begin about the first
of February. It is a venture unique in the
history of city building in this or any
other country. The boulevards, sewers
and other public utility conduits will be
constructed before building and home
making is begun.

The site comprises 16,000 acres, with an
ocean front of 14 miles, and the highest
point on the estate is 1600 feet above the
sea. There are about 3000 acres so situ-
ated. It is proposed to make a veritable
botanic garden out of the residential sec-

tion, the units of the garden to belong
to, and to be cared for by, the citizens of
the municipality.

The initial cost of the undertaking is
placed at $35,000,000 dollars, all of which
will be subscribed before a shovelful of
earth is turned. P. D. Barnhart.

Los Angeles, Cal.

[The label referred to is of enameled
iron, white with black lettering. Easily
read and imperishable, but like all enamel
ware could he badly defaced by a blow.
We imagine the cast metal labels, as
used at Kew and some other botanical,
gardens, are even more permanent and
no more costly. The cast label is known
as the Acme, the manufacturer stocking
a great variety or making them to order.

Phytolacca dioica, the South American
relative of our Pokeberry or Poke Weed,
Phytolacca americana or decandra, is re-
ferred to by Bailey as an evergreen tree,
attaining a great thickness of trunk and
spread of top. It was introduced into
Santa Barbara some 45 years ago, and
is said to be well distributed in south
California, some trees having trunks 6ft.
in diameter and huge buttresses 2ft. high.
Bailey mentions that it will stand a freeze
without injury beyond the loss of foliage.
It is a diceciaus; plant and will assuredly
only fruit when plants of both sexes are
near together.

Some cultivators would question the use
of shavings as a mulch. We have known
gardeners and growers to have a great
dislike to stable manure from places where
shaving chips are used for bedding. Such
chips do not decay rapidly and are apt to
encourage vermin. Possibly in the dry
climate of California shavings wrould not
prove troublesome in this respect. — Ed.]

Branch Blight in Snapdragons

J. J. F., Va. — The plant of Snapdrag-
on is seemingly affected by branch blight,
although the spores of the disease have
not yet shown themselves. This disease is
not common, and, perhaps, is more apt
to appear in the South; it was, we be-
lieve, first observed in Texas greenhouses.
The dying off of branches is credited to
Phoma poolensis and its control is much
the same as advocated for anthracnose
which badly blights Snapdragons. No
affected stock should be propagated,
cleanliness and dryness of the foliage are
essential. Burn all diseased plants,
taking care that no part of a diseased
plant is permitted to carry over spores.

Spray all the plants with bordeaux
mixture or better blow dry bordeaux
powder among the plants. Give plenty
of air.

Pinch Hitting for Jay-Em

Jay-Em has been under the weather. He is
almost better now, but to complete t his re-
covery, we offer him our "pet chorus" as we
know he loves a good song:
"Laugh and the world laughs with you;
Weep and you weep alone;
This greedy old earth
Wants all of your mirth —
It has enough grief of its own.

Smile, and the world will be smiling;
Sigh, and they'll pass you by;
Succeed, and give, and they'll let you live-
But fail, and they'll let you die."

The Market

Dec. 12. — A fair demand is making
nearly clear sales from day to day, as
far as good Roses, Carnations and a few
other things are concerned. The supply
of Carnations especially is hardly up to
normal; too many growers are sending
their flowers to New York, and so the
price has reached 10c. for good ordinary
flowers, and 12e. or more for fancy goods.
Roses are not moving very lively in the
long grades; anything up to and including
15in. sells easily enough, starting with
the price at 8c. for ordinary sorts, and
2e. higher for reds. The arrivals of the
most wanted lengths is just about suffi-
cient. As for quality, the flowers are
good right through, with little differentia-
tion between kinds.

The list of quotations gives an idea of
prices in general for the whole market.
Callas are not plentiful, but sell as soon
as shown. The same cannot be said for
Lilies. A good many of these are on hand
every day and sell under pressure. Paper-
whites are the bugbear of the salesman.
Nobody seems to care for them, while
Stevia, of which a considerable supply
comes in every day, sells well. Sweet
Peas are sticky, unless of the right color
and of good quality. Violets are almost
as scarce as the w. k. hen's teeth. Of
Pansies there are enough to go around,
and so also of the host of other small
fry.

Cattleyas are having a better call than
a while ago, C. trianae bringing the best
price, together with the hybrids, C. Perci-
valiana, the lowest at 75c. Cypripediums
are also selling well. There is a good
supply of Lily of the Valley.

Christmas greens and berries are be-
coming important factors, and are abun-
dant enough so far.

News Notes

The monthly meeting of the Gar-
deners and Florists Club of Boston will
take place in Horticultural Hall, Boston,

on the evening of Dec. 19. The lecture
of the evening will be on poultry culture
with special reference to incubation. The
annual election of officers of the club is
also part of the evening's program.

At their last meeting the trustees of
the Massachusetts Horticultural Society
voted to make all exhibitions free of
charge to the public, even including the
grand Spring and Pall shows, for which
admission has been charged as a rule.

Miss Ada Schleyer, proprietor of a
florist store in Fredericston, New Bruns-
wick, was an interested visitor at the
flower markets and other florist centers in
Boston last week.

George E. Moyse, secretary of the Bos-
ton Florists Alliance, was again elected
to the legislature in his home district.

Moe Leibman, salesman at the Flower
Exchange Market, is receiving fine Lad-
die Carnations from Charles Rice of Lex-
ington, which are bringing top price. Har-
old A. Ryan of Cambridge is sending
him handsome spikes of Strelitzia regina
and Edward Norberg sends him some
grand Sunshine Pompon Chrysanthemums,
which sell for $1.50 a bunch.

Recent visitors among the florist trade
in town were: Wallace Pierson, Crom-
well, Conn.; Ernest Saunders, Lewiston,
Me., and Archie Henshaw, New York,
N. Y.

William Carr, at the Flower Exchange
Market, is receiving fine Lilium Harrisii
in quantity. As he puts it, he can fill
an order for one or one thousand at any
time, or more if needed. Billy is a
downright Yankee, who voted for Hard-
ing and yet he seems to have a dash of
royal blood in him for nothing tickles him
more than to be called the Lily King.

Courtland C. Earle, proprietor of the
Earlecroft Greenhouses, Groton, Mass.,
was a recent visitor in town. Mr. Earle
started in the Carnation business about a
year ago and is well satisfied with his
venture.

Papers have been filed in Boston for
the incorporation of the East Coast Nur-
series, Inc., with a capital of $10,000.
The officers are: President, Alfred E.
Robinson; treasurer, Sheffield A. Arnold,
and Arthur P. Teele.

New England Florists Alliance Ends

The New England Florists Alli-
ance held a well attended meeting at the
Parker House on the night of Dec. 7.
During the discussions, the fact was
brought out that the association was not
in a position to carry on the work any
longer on account of the insufficient sup-
port given it and it was voted to dis-
solve the organization forthwith.

The New England Florists' Alliance had
for its object the widening of trade among
the public, which end was to be reached
through appropriate publicity. At the
start, which took place about one year
ago, florists in and around Boston, to
the number of 85, joined the alliance with
enthusiasm, but it soon developed that
the dues were not easy to collect and the
membership steadily dwindled. At its in-
auguration Fred Asmus of Chicago and
J. F. Ammann of Edwardsville, 111., made
some powerful appeals for publicity work.
The first secretary was Eugene J. Nau-
kam of Buffalo, N. Y., who was suc-
ceeded early last Summer by George
Moyse of Waltham, Mass.

Oil Burning a Pastime

Fred W. Holbrow, 303 Harvard
st., Dorchester, is immensely -pleased with
his oil burning installation. Mr. Hol-
brow heats about 10,000 ft. of glass with
a large Lord & Burnham sectional boiler,
using a single burner and, as he says, is
done with coal forever. He runs his
boiler under a pressure of about two
pounds of steam. The oil reservoir is
situated in the yard at a distance of 25ft.
from the boiler and is underground. When
the reporter asked Johln Ourley, the
head push on the place, what attention
the boiler and burner needed, he laughed
ind said: "Darn little as far as I can see
for the boss' little 12 year old son tends
to; that. We never bother with it."
"Yes, John, that's all right in the day-
time," chipped in the reporter, (tbut
how about nights?" "Well," he answers,
"I'll tell you; somewhere' around 10
o'clock or later, the boy or someone else
looks to see whether the oil flame is
going, which it always is. and then he

goes to bed. We see that the flame has
oil to burn and for all I know it will
burn till the cows come home." "Of
course, John," says the reporter, "you
hate it awfully not to have to shovel
coal, poke the fire and handle ashes,
don't you?" "Aw, go on with yer kid-
ding; in the pig's eye I do."

Mr. Holbrow grows Carnations, Cal- j
las, Begonias and everything needed in
his retail store on the place. He is also
an expert in growing Bouvardia Hum-
boldtii, with which he has supplied the
Boston market for a good many years.
He grows his Bouvardias in flats entirely,
most of them on shelves overhead.

Fire at North Beverly

Fire broke out in the boiler house
of A. A. Pembroke, the noted Carnation
grower of North Beverly, about 3 o'clock
in the morning of Dee. 7. The boilerhouse
was destroyed entirely and about 25ft.
of the adjoining Carnation house suffered
damage. With the help of kind neigh-
bors, the opening was soon covered up
with boards and tarpaulins, so that the
crops were saved, although the tempera-
ture in the house went down below freez-
ing for a short while. Luckily, the boiler
escaped serious damage and heating was
not interfered with for long. Mr. Pem-
broke lost his two auto trucks and his
automobile; also considerably over 100,-
000 Gladiolus bulbs. The cause of the
fire is unknown, the watchman being at
the time tending to his duties at the big
Carnation house which is situated some
distance from the home place where the
other greenhouses are and where the
fire originated.

The Medfield Farms and Greenhouse
Co. has dissolved by mutual agreement
and consent of the stockholders. Dr.
Joel E. Goldthwait, the principal share-
holder, bought out the other partners.
He has deeded, as a gift, to Peter Peder-
zini, the manager of the corporation's
lands, and greenhouses, all the greenhouses,
a dwelling house, office building and vari-
ous other appurtenances, together with
two acres of valuable land. Mr. Peder
zini has managed the greenhouses for
over five years and has, in that time, built

Service Success But a Financial
Loss

This is one way of characterizing the
United States Post Office Department.
To reduce this loss, Postmaster General
Work has obtained the cooperation of the
Motion Picture Theatre Owners of Am-
erica, and in the movies are to be shown
slides bearing the necessary slogans to
the public, and such helpful practical
films as may be available, depicting Post
Office activities. As there are over 100,-
000,000 "stockholders" availing themselves
of the facilities of the United States
Post Office, the service which is to be
given by the Motion Picture Theatre
Owners of America should assist wonder-
fully in teaching our people how to help
economize the time of the Post Office em-
ployees, thus making for quicker service
and reduced expenditure.

The greenhouse plant of A. A. Pem-
broke in North Beverly was visited
by a bad fire a few nights ago. Mr. Pem-
broke has two separate plants there and
it was the smaller one that sets directly
in back of his home, that caught fire.
The loss will be about $5000, only about
a quarter of which was covered by in-
surance. The property loss includes the
boiler house, three automobiles and about
20ft. of the greenhouse with, of course,
a nice Carnation stock planted there. *

* However, the fire did not in any
way hold up the business. Everything
was handled the next day just as if
nothing had happened. The boiler went
through the fire without injury, as well
as all of the piping, although the latter
dropped down from its support at the end
of the house where the fire was. At this
writing a new boiler house is all built
and everything is going along smoothly
again.

P. E. Sanborn of Rial Side expects to
shut down the largest part of his green-

a batch of Stevia, until about Feb. 1.
Then he will start getting ready for the
Spring business. He expects to keep
but one house heated, in which to take
care of the cuttings and 2%in. stuff. He
just got through with a nice batch of
'Mums which, he says, paid good money
this year. Frank E. Smith.

Fine Publicity in Portland,

Portland, Ore., is widely and favor-
ably known for its interest and accom-
plishments in the gardening field, Among
the reasons for this is one that has re-
cently come to our attention, namely, ex-
cellent use of valuable publicity material.
In particular, we refer to several col-
umns of gardening information for am-
ateur readers published regularly in the
Sunday Oregonian and contributed by J.
A. Currey, first vice-president of the
Portland Rose Society and an all around
horticultural expert amateur.

In two recent issues of the paper we
find material totaling more than a full
page and covering all sorts of timely
subjects — from the current Chrysanthe-
mum Show to what books to read and
what bulbs to plant — and all in a simple,
conversational, but also instructive and
inspirational style. The value of such
matter, we feel sure, is considerable —
not only from, the standpoint of the
amateur newspaper readers, but also
from that of the local trade that supplies
those amateurs. The following scattered
excerpts are illustrative of the contents
and style of this excellent material :

The Tree Butcher

The other day I saw a man commit-
ting a horticultural crime. Not only
was he doing this, but was being paid
for it; and. moreover, was being paid
fior it by the man whom he was injur-
ing. Of course the man paying the bill
did not know the crime was being com-
mitted and it just occurred to me there
are probably thousands of amateurs in
the city who are injured by similar
crimes and that I had better call atten-
tion to the danger of entrusting shrub-
bery to men who say they are garden-
ers and understand pruning, and care
iof plants, but who are absolutely ig-
norant. The particular crime which
aroused my ire and made me seek out
the owner was committed on a wonder-
fully fine Lilac bush. Every Spring I
hear complaints from persons who say
their Lilac bush does not produce many
flowers and in practically every case it
has been due to wrong pruning, but this
was the first time I ever caught one of
these butchers at work.

A Rose Garden for Seattle, "Wash.

On more than one occasion I have
pointed out things Seattle is accom-
plishing in the Rose world and I want
to tell you of a letter I received during
the week from one of the leading rosa-
rians of Seattle. At the request of the
business organisations of Seattle the
park board had adopted plans for a most

elaborate and well equipped Rose gar-
den to be located in Woodland park.
The garden will comprise four acres
and is being laid out in a most artistic
manner. About 6000 plants will be in-
stalled this year. That Seattle is going
to try to direct the attention of tourists
to the Rose garden and thus reap the
benefit of advertisement by using it as
an advertisement is evident from the
fact that plans have been completed for
big signs directing the auto tourist to
the new Rose garden.

Reasons for Lack of Individuality

I think the chief cause for the same-
ness in planting or rather the lack of
individuality is that the home owners
are persuaded, in fact I might say al-
most forced, to accept plants from over-
zealous salesmen. Where the home
owner has not sufficient knowledge as
to what is necessary and often does not
appreciate a planting sufficient to give
it even superficial attention, the mod-
ern salesman finds him an easy victim,
as the motto of the salesman is to sell
"all you can while the selling is good."

Boost for the Nurseryman

If you are putting in a new place and
are not versed in what is suitable for
your location and shape of lot secure
competent information on the subject
before you place your order. You will
probably say that you have endeavored
to do this and have a plan which was
prepared for you by a man who claimed
to be competent. My answer to all sueh
argument is that competent and worthy
talent does not have to peddle its wares
from door to door as I find so many
so-called landscape men are doing. Real
talent and real nurserymen have estab-
lished offices and nurseries. Remember
yiou are buying" a dress for your garden
and treat that purchase just the same
as if you were buying a dress for your-
self and I am quite sure you would not
purchase a dress or a suit of clothes
for yourself from someone who rang
yiour door bell.

What a Florists Club May Do

Knowing the capabilities of many
amateurs and the ambition of others I
expect next week to have an important
announcement that will be of interest
not only to these two classes of ama-
teurs, but to all interested in flowers.
To encourage the amateurs in Winter
study and especially the making of
plans for borders members of the Ore-
gon Florists Club have started a move-
ment to offer rewards or prizes to the
amateur who submits the best scheme
for a border of plants, the border to be
50ft. long and not more than 6ft. wide.
It can contain shrubs, perennials, an-
nuals and bulbs such as Tulips, Iris,
Dahlias and Gladioli. The first prize
will consist of a collection of more than
100 shrubs, perennials, annuals and
bulbs, while the second and third prizes
will be proportionate in size. All that
will be necessary to do to compete will
be to send in a sketch showing your
ideas of a border and from the sketches
submitted a board of experts will select
those best suited for this climate.

Holyoke and Northampton (Mass.)
Gardeners and Florists Club

The December meeting of this club
was held on Dec. 5 with Pres. Hennessy
in the chair, at Reginald Carey's green-
house, South Hadley. Members present
made a tour through the houses and
found an exceptionally fine lot of Car-
nations with a promising crop for Christ-
mas. Varieties grown by Mr. Carey are
Matchless, Belle Washburn, Supreme and
Morning Glow.

Being the annual election night, the
following members were elected as offi-
cers for the coming year : John Ellis,
Northampton, president; Prof. Thayer,
Amherst, vice-president; A. Haisch,
Northampton, secretary and treasurer;
executive committee, T. L. Hubbard of
Amherst, chairman; Walter Thomiley of
Northampton, Reginald Carey of South
Hadley.

The prize for the monthly exhibit was
won by George Strugnell of Holyoke with
a Cyclamen plant which any grower
would be proud to possess.

Refreshments were served and a game
of cards enjoyed until a late hour after
the meeting.

The January meeting will be held at
Gallivan Bros., Smith Ferry, Mass.

The Florists Exchange

Dec. 12. — Last week was good busi-
ness for both retailer and wholesaler. The
market was in fine condition, with just
about enough stock to meet demand, and
prices firm. Dec. 11 saw a Monday morn-
ing cleanup and the Saturday before
saw the market clean of everything, ex-
cept possibly long Roses. With the forc-
ing for Christmas, extra long stock is
being- cut and medium Roses are not too
plentiful. The long blooms, of course,
are of very tine quality and are sure of
sale. Am. Beauty sold well all through
last week.

Every report on the Christmas cut in-
dicates a plentiful supply of red Roses.
Growers are starting in already on the
crop.

Cattleyas are more plentiful, but as
usual, when this bloom is scarce there is
good demand, and when supply increases
there is no particular call for it. Valley
is about the same. The stock gets sold,
but not much more than that. Prices,
nevertheless, are fairly firm.

Sw-eet Peas show good quality with
the bright crisp weather, but the stems
are not very long yet and will not be
until after the holidays.

Some exceptionally well grown Calen-
dulas— big flowers and very fine foliage
— were noticed at several places. Chrys-
anthemums and Pompons are decreasing
in supply and good quality stock is not
equal to demand.

Carnations are in plenty and quality
is excellent. The demand is sufficient to
take care of everything, however, and
Carnations have cleaned up fairly stead-
ily-
Shipping

The Fall's shipping has been very
satisfactory. In fact, in nearly every
ease it is a little ahead of last year.
'Mums have now ceased to be a factor in
shipping, since the quality is not suffi-
ciently high as a general rule.

Express shipments, of course, are more
troublesome than ever with Christmas
business, but this same thing is applicable
all over the country. A tieup of local
deliveries in Philadelphia Monday prob-
ably accounted for some of the quick
cleanup on that day, since many ship-
ments from growers were delayed until
well into the afternoon.

In potted stock, while several growers
have exceptionally good material, the
average, according to C. U. Liggit, is
low in flowering plants for Christmas
compared with other years. Foliage and
ornamental plants, on the other hand, are
probably as good as any other year.

Market Notes

Christmas Roses are going to be
in good supply from all accounts. The
Leo Niessen Co. reports word from grow-
ers on American Legion, Premier and
Richmond : the Philadelphia Growers
Cut Flower Market has word of a fine
crop of Premier; the Joseph Heacock
Co. will have a good cut of all varieties ;
S. S. Penuock Co. promises a plentiful
supply of American Beauty.

The Evergreen Supply Co. has been
literally rushed off its feet with business
on their first Christmas season. By
working night and day this firm has kept
up with orders and even welcomes fresh
ones.

Word has been passed around giving
final particulars on the exchange of play-
ers for the next' baseball season. The In-
dependents have traded Dave Cleary and
George Cook for R. C. Copstick, former-
ly of the Leo Niessen Co., and L. T.
Sauers. formerly with the Robert Craig
Co. Both the new players are with
Jack Deutscher at the Philadelphia
W holesale Florists Exchange. Copstick
is a pitcher and much is hoped from him
the coming season.

Retailers

"Chu.ies Henry says," commences
advertisements in all the dailies announc-
ing the opening of the new store at 111
S. Broad fit. The store finally had its
official opening Dec. 11. A feature was
a display of metal baskets, novelties from
the brain of Charles Henry and manu-
factured by Bayersdorfer. The handles
are metal tubes, bent at right angles to
give ;i masculine, virile effect. The bas-
kets are in all colors from mahogany to

light pink aud filled with berried plants
— Cherry or something of the kind. Mr.
Fox reports the public taking an interest
right away.

A novelty noticed at the London
Flower Shop was a hanging ball of arti-
ficial fruit, mainly a Grape cluster, for
Christmas decoration. Also here was a
new idea in artificial fruit wreaths.
Business with this firm has been excel-
lent.

T. Nielson Geiger's specialty for Christ-
mas is the miniature Christmas tree, in
small porcelain stands. The trees stand
only a few inches high but are very effec-
tive. Boxwood and artificial berries is
one type, while prepared White Statice
makes another. Still another type is of
artificial foliage throughout. Numbers
have been sold already and orders are
waiting for Christmas delivery.

Even the Seedsmen

The Henry F. Michell Co. had a
fine display of Christmas wreaths and
foliage plants. Orders have been coming
in nicely for this class of stock ; last
week one was received from Iowa. F. J.
Michell had just returned from Balti-
more, Washington and Virginia when we
called, and reported business in that sec-
tion as excellent.

Hosea Waterer is specializing in bowls
and vases and some fine pieces may be
seen here. Christmas sales on this spe-
cialty are promising. Demand for Paper-
whites and bulbs generally continues
here.

Dreer's windows were attractive and
original. One window was banked with
moss and ferns and had a fountain stand
in the center, with birds drinking from
its edge. Another window was filled with
horticultural books and implements for
the amateur and professional.

Pittsburgh, Pa.

The Market

Dec. 11. — Stock has been a little
on the short side, which is a good thing,
as the demand has been light, which is
the usual thing between Thanksgiving and
Christmas. 'Mums are about over, while
there are a few late ones coming in, they
are no longer a factor. Pompons are still
plentiful and it looks as though the cut
would run on till Christmas. Am. Beauty-
is still on the short side and cleans up
readily. Roses are on the increase and
the quality is improving daily. Some
extra fancy Premier and Columbia are
to be seen. The supply of Carnations
falls away below the demand and prices
remain firm at $6 per 100 for ordinary
and $8 to $10 for fancy stock. Lilies
are still scarce, but will soon take their
place again. A few Paperwhites are ar-
riving, but it is hard to move them at
a price that will let the grower out.
Stevia is plentiful and moves well. Sweet
Peas are of fine quality and are now
selling well. Valley has slumped, due to
the fact that weddings have not been so
numerous since Thanksgiving. Orchids
are still scarce and are sold before they
arrive. Baby Primrose, Calendula, and
Mignonette complete the list. Winterber-
ries, Mistletoe and Holly are again on
the market and remind one that Christ-
mas will soon be with us.

Club Meeting

A very interesting meeting of the
Pittsburgh Florists & Gardeners Club
was held on Dec. 5 in the Carnegie Li-
brary, with Vice-President Thompson in
the chair, President Walley being out of
town at that time. This meeting was fa-
vored with a wonderful exhibition of
specimen Crotons produced under the
supervision of the skilled Carl Lindroth
of Randolph & McClements, whose chief
assistant, Mr. McCurio, very obligingly
described the culture and habits of
each variety besides giving clear-cut an-
swers to several questions asked him by
members pertaining to their culture and
treatment. All agreed that this repre-
sented the finest collection of Crotons
ever shown in the city and the exhibitors
were the recipients of a warm vote of
thanks by the members, in addition to
being awarded a Certificate of Merit by
by the judging board comprising David
Fraser, John Barnett, and Jas. Murphy.
In this fine collection, 2S different varie-
ties were shown, making a solid truck-
load. A vote of thanks was awarded
John Jones of Schenley Park, for a mixed
collection of plants comprising some very

well grown Poinsettias, Begonias jand
Jerusalem Cherries.

At this meeting E. J. McCallum con-
cluded his talk on "Observations Abroad,"
this time touching on the political and
economic features, not forgetting the
humorous points as well as some of his
experiences under the last caption, af-
fording a wealth of amusement to the
members, evidenced by their outbursts
ot laughter at several points during the
talk. As Mr. McCallum has given this
same talk before the Detroit, Cleveland
and Lancaster Florists Clubs, it has al-
ready been published in the various trade
pape,s, so we will not for this reason,
repeat it m this report. Although not
quite so long as his former talk, which
touched principally on horticultural ob-
servations and conditions, Mr. McCallum's
address was warmly received and appre-
ciated greatly by his audience. J. W
Weismann followed Mr. McCallum by a
very humorous "short story" relating to
the fertilizer business, in his own inim-
itable style.

New members nominated at this meet-
ing were: W. C. Hardesty of Saxon-
wald Greenhouses, Castle Shannon, and
A. J. Deer of Gettings st., City. Others
elected to membership were Chas Ul-
mer of Mrs. E. A. Williams, Inc., City
Geo. H. Warrick of Warrick Floral Co
of Washington, Pa., and Chas. A. Berns-
dortt of Emsworth, Pa. It is pleasing
to see that more members of the retail
florists' ranks are attending our meet-
ings than they have of late, and we trust
that their attendance will show a steady
increase in future meetings.

The next meeting, scheduled for Tues-
day evening, January 2, is a very im-
portant one for our club, being the oc-
casion on which new officers are to be
nominated for the coming year. We have
just finished a very successful year, cov-
ering twelve most interesting meetings
and we can truthfully say that a great
deal of benefit m both a commercial and
social way is being sacrificed by those
ot the trade who do not attend. Let
us have a large turnout at the January
meeting. Everyone is invited to attend,
whether members of the club or not The
time is January 2 at 8 p.m., and the
place Carnegie Library (Northside
branch), Ohio and Federal sts., North-
side. Make a memorandum of it now
and come and meet with us. You are
most welcome as are also your co-work-
ers and friends.

Jottings

The Retail Florists Association of
the Pittsburgh District met at the Hotel
Chatham Thursday evening, Dec. 7. It
was voted to discontinue the association
as a separate organization and to com-
bine with the Pittsburgh Florists & Gar-
deners Club and make one big organiza-
tion.

On Dec. 5 the McCallum Co. received
a solid carload of Christmas supplies,
which were purchased by E. J. McCal-
lum while abroad. This stock is just in
time for Christmas business.

The stores are all dressed up in their
holiday attire and present a beautiful
picture with their fancy wreaths, Christ-
mas plants and novelties. It sure looks
like a big Christmas for the trade. All
we need to make it such is good weather
and plenty of stock.

Many out of town florists visited the
Pittsburgh market last week buying
their last minute Christmas stock and
many more are looked for in the next
ten days- E. C. Tipton;

Lancaster, Pa.

Retail Notes

Dec. 9. — Business continues to im-
prove all along the line; even "duck
feather flowers" are finding a ready sale,
although in the opinion of many they,
like all artificial flowers, are a doubt-
ful proposition in the minds of the cut
flower grower. Business, however, has
many ramifications and all roads lead to
Borne so that even the sale of duck
feather flowers may lead to future busi-
ness in the sale of real flowers.

The flower buying public has become ac-
customed to Chrysanthemums up to and
after Christmas and while they naturally
should be over and out of the road, the
demand seems to be here; the Rosary
has had some big orders for them the past
week. This shop has a double w-indow

space and the proprietor, Jack Moore, is
some window trimmer. As a big part
of their business is seeds, plants and
bulbs, he had one window this week set
off with a unique bulb display and the
other as a plant window.

Miss Carrie Steckmen's store made one
forget that the 'Mum season was over
as she had a great quantity of especially
fine blooms and, what is more to the
point, enough trade to use them up. * *
* Mrs. Geo. Goldbach has her window ar-
ranged for the holiday spirit and it is
the brightest spot on Duke st., with its
Poinsettias, ferns, palms and bright
Christmas wreaths. Trade here continues
to increase.

Walter Hammond goes quietly along;
he says he is getting his share of the
trade and continuing his policy of con-
ducting a flower store as such, without
the bunch of sub-lines carried by most
stores today. He is an example of the
fact that such a store pays, and pays
well.

At the B. F. Barr shop everything is
bustle and business and the amount of
flowers handled here the past week
w;ould make one think that the popula-
tion of Lancaster had doubled over night.
They are busy preparing for the great-
est Christmas business ever, and have
good reason to expect it if straws show
which way the wind is blowing.

Growers Prospects

Here the situation is not so prom-
ising as the warm Fall and early Win-
ter brought crops timed for their heav-
iest cut this month, into market just
about 30 days ahead of time, but with
plenty of the blessed sunshine, the cut
ought not be much below its usual quan-
tity as quite a bit of new glass has been
added the past Summer. Out at Rohrers,
Christmas plants are being put in shape
for the retailer and we all know that
Harry and Abe are skilled florists on this
line and will be there with the goods.

Bauman & Caldwell, Fred Ruoff, Ru-
dolph Nagle and Thomas Fries, all grow-
ers who retail direct from their green-
houses, are preparing for holiday trade,
and if Lancaster is not well supplied, es-
pecially in the plant line, it will not be
the fault of the growers.

College News

Pennsylvania State College has
reached the point where they have to
turn down more applicant students than
they are able to accommodate, not be-
cause the college itself could not take
care of them but owing to the fact that
they do not have housing facilities for
them. This lack of dormitories cannot
be taken care of by the State as their
particular care applies only to the college
proper and its equipment.

On this account the college is making a
drive for funds to put up dormitories and
other buildings necessary to the welfare
of their student body. The Potato grow-
ers of Pennsylvania have contributed
enough to put up a hospital building and
claim that the publicity they have gotten
out of it will reimburse them for all of
the moneys contributed by their associa-
tion. The hog breeders of the State are
working along similar lines and other
organizations are taking the matter up
also.

A dormitory building can be put up
for $75,000 and there is no reason why
the florists of the State should not put
up one of these buildings with a nice big
name plate on it as built by the florists
of Pennsylvania. Given the proper pub-
licity, it would show to the people of the
State that we are the "live wire, progres-
sive branch of men" we call ourselves,
and that we are not to be outdone by the
Potato men, the fruit growers, Tobacco
growers and others.

This money can be raised by three
year pledges making a liberal contribu-
tion an easy proposition to fulfill. Mr.
Hibschman tells me there are special
pledge cards for the florists and they can
be bad by any individual or florist club
on application to State College. Any mail
addressed to State College, State College
P. O., Pa., will reach the institution.

Why the Florist Grower Should
Contribute

Why should the florist contribute?
First — to show that he has pride enough
in his chosen occupation not to be out-
done by others. Second — because the
State College runs a special course for

young men and women to study the florist
business. Third — because the State Col-
lege stands ready with its score of scien-
tific men to help as far as possible, with
any of the problems that come up in the
growing of flowers and plants. The re-
tailer should contribute because we are
all linked up together in this business
and, because to him will come the bene-
fits derived from the publicity of the af-
fair.

There are a hundred reasons why we
should give and put up such a building
and not one reason why we should not.
Let's get busy after the holiday rush and
put this thing across in a manner that
will do us proud. I understand that
Pittsburgh is getting ready for action
along these lines and that Philadelphia
is expected to follow suit; there certain-
ly is no reason why we middle-State fel-
lows should let these cities have all the
credit. Get in touch at once with State
College, or if you prefer write to me; I
spend half my time working for glory and
a little more time won't hurt. My ad-
dress is R. F. D. 8, Lancaster, Pa.

Albert M. Herr.

Buffalo, N. Y.

Mr. SantifordJ florist and landscape
architect, who has a good growing retail
business on N. Main St., says he has had
a very good season, not only in the land-
scaping business but also as florist. His
stock of plants — Begonias, Cyclamen,
Poinsettias and Primulas are in fine shape
for the Christmas season, also his Carna-
tions, proving that these can be grown
in a large city successfully. His Easter
Lilies look fine and his other stocks of
plants, too. On account of the building
activities and expansion now going on in
Buffalo and its environs, he expects to
be very busy with his landscape work
next year.

Detlefs Florists, 193 LeRoy ave., are
having a fine lot of Begonia Melior for
Christmas. Mr. Dedlef is a connoisseur
of new 'Mums and Gladioli; therefore a
salesman has to be well versed to sell
him anything in these special varieties.
Mrs. Detlef is a busy lady looking out
in the retail end of the business. Their
greenhouse walks and benches are all
of concrete, the latter of solid mold, ar-
tistically designed and well reinforced
with steel. Mr. Detlef saiys he can put
up the molds for a bench in two hours,
and in another two hours fill them and
complete the job. Here is something for
the trade to take notice of as concrete
is now the thing. Its construction gives
growers more time than before to grow
better crops for fixing wooden benches
from time to time is no small task; and
there is the expense besides. The Det-
lefs, who have worked hard for many
years, are thinking of taking a vacation
for a while. Here is a chance for some
"live wire" to take hold and come into
a good established business.

Henry H. Elbers, florist, horticultur-
ist and landscape architect, has a flo-
rist store at 2924 Main st. Together
with the conservatory it looks fine, es-
pecially for one who has but recently
gone into the business. * * * Mr. Elbers

The Market

Pre-Christmas trading opened this
week with a bang and dealers reported
that prospects were more roseate than for
several seasons. Money is apparently
plentiful this year and employment is
steady and wages high. Every indica-
tion points to a big holiday season for
the florists and a continuance of good
business past the turn of the year at
least.

Retailers were in good spirits with the
arrival of the first touch of Winter and
were ready buyers at the wholesale and
commission houses. The difficulty was to
get the stock sufficient for the trade de-
mands. Short Roses were scarce as hens'
teeth and medium stems were none too
plentiful. The stock of Premiers, Colum-
bias and Ophelias delivered last Satur-
day were rapidly exhausted and late buy-
ers had to pick over supplies and take
culls or the best that could be had. Mis-
tletoe 'Mums were in strong demand, but
the supply was limited. Chadwicks, both
yellow and white, were snapped up by
those who could not get the larger va-
riety. Pompons were also much sought
and prices of all grades of Chrysanthe-
mums and Roses were advanced. Red
Winter berries from Michigan were on
the market and the stock was fine.
Paperwhite Narcissus were high and the
trade appeared to prefer Carnations at
the same price $6 to $8 per 100. Fern
prices were up to $4 per 1000, due to
storage cost. Asp. plumosus was dull as

Retail Trade Active

Christmas trade in the retail
stores will eclipse other years by a big
margin if it continues as large as was
manifested during the opening of this
week. All downtown and hilltop retailers
were kept busy both in receiving custom-
ers and filling orders received over the
telephone and the prices obtained were
better than last year by »a substantial
margin. Orders for house decoration
were plentiful and it is expected that
hilltop, florists will be kept busy up un-
til Christmas week in filling orders al-
ready received. This business is in addi-
tion to a plentiful sprinkling of wedding
orders and receptions and various other
social functions. Church decorating will
be done by florists here this year instead
of by individuals or volunteers, and this
will furnish some first-class orders.
Christmas box and basket trade is excep-
tionally good and supply houses have
been rushed to keep abreast with dealers'
orders. Christmas tree orders are large
and prices are higher ' than last year.
Many toy trees are being sold, the per-
centage of toy trees exceeding sales of
any previous year it is said. Winter-
berries. Mistletoe and Holly and Laurel
orders are also in great demand.

Retailers Associations Quarters

Announcement was made this
week by President C. J. Jones of the
Cincinnati Retail Florists Association
that quarters for the organization have
been obtained in the Masonic Temple
building at Third and Walnut st. The
charter for the new body is expected to
arrive this week and will be signed at
the meeting next Thursday. It was ex-
pected last week and 36 members were
ready to sign it but there was some legal
delay. An invitation was received from
the Cincinnati Florists Society to co-
operate with the latter in making ar-
rangements for the convention of the
American Rose and Carnation Societies
to be held here Jan. 31 and Feb. 1. A
joint meeting was arranged for shortly
after Jan. 1 at which time the program
of entertainment will be settled. The re-
tailers were much encouraged by the
showing made in their organization and
President Jones said that he expected to
have more than 40 members before the
next meeting.

Growers Hold Session

Members of the Cincinnati Dis-
trict, National Flower Growers Associa-
tion held a meeting last Thursday night
at the range of William G. Taylor in
Price Hill. Twenty-four growers were
present, most of them being from Cin-
cinnati and nearby suburbs. Five new
members were installed. The advertising
question was discussed but no further
action taken than that which has been
effective since the September session. The
next meeting will be held Jan. 3 at the
greenhouses of O. B. Murphy in Price
Hill. The cooperation of the growers
with the American Carnation Society for
the coming convention was voted and all
growers will attend the convention ses-
sions.

Florists Society Meets

At a meeting of the Cincinnati
Florists Society, held Monday night at
H. W. Sheppard's store on Race St.,
H. W. Sheppard, vice-president of the
American Carnation Society, appointed
the following committees for the enter-
tainment and arrangements for the joint
convention of the American Carnation
Society and the American Rose Society
to be held here Jan. 31 and Feb. 1. For
the American Carnation Society, Richard
Witterstaetter, chairman ; Joseph Im-
holte, Frank Voltz and Ben Reidel ; for
the American Rose Society, Joseph H.
Hill of Richmond, Ind., chairman ;
Charles Murphy, Ray Lindsey and Roger
Peterson ; for Banquet Committee, Ray
Murphy, chairman ; William Sunderman,
Fred Murphy and Albert Hoerning ; for
Reception Committee, Julius Baer, chair-
man ; C. J. Jones, Arthur Becker, Mrs.
E. Walt, Mrs. Gustave Adrian, Miss
Young, Mrs. Ross and Mrs. H. W. Shep-
pard ; Entertainment, E. G. Gillett ;
Decorations, Ray Reiustatler and Gus
Bruner. The next meeting of the Flo-
rists Society will be held Jan. 15 when
reports of the committees will be re-
ceived. A lunch was served by Mr. Shep-
pard at the close of the meeting.

"Lest You Forget"

Let us remind you "Lest You Forget."

Why do you put off ordering your house from us until
after February first, when if you order it before that
time we will give you a liberal discount ? We sent you
a circular telling all about it. Let us remind you of
that money you can save — "Lest You Forget.

Already a number have decided to get that discount,
which is just like so much money in their bank. Already
orders have been placed, totaling about 100 thousand
square feet The principal ones are as follows:

Long Island Two houses, each 48 x 200 ft.

Westchester County One house, 33 x 100 ft.

Ulster County Four houses, each 42 x 234 ft.

Dutchess County One house, 40 x 100 ft.

Our Chicago office has also booked approximately as many orders.

Warning

Not a day after February first will we allow
the money-saving discount. So don't dally
around, putting off taking the matter up.
You know it always takes a lot longer to
make your plans and talk things over, than
you think. Don't think that by simply

starting now, however, and then dragging
along until after February first before plac-
ing your order, you can claim the discount.
The conditions are that the complete order
must be placed on or before February first.
Play safe, write or phone at once for one of
us to come and see you.

More Annual Reports from
the Department of Agriculture

Agricultural Department Appropriation Bill

Washington, D. C. — Carrying a total of $68,-
7S1,553, the annual appropriation bill for the Agricul-
tural Department for the fiscal year beginning July 1,
next, was reported to the House of Representatives
Dec. IS by the Committte on Appropriations. Only a
quarter of a million dollars were lopped off the De-
partment's estimates by the Bureau of the Budget in
transmitting its recommendations to Congress. The
amount carried by the bill is nearly $22,000,000 more
than the total appropriated for the current fiscal year.

The activities of the Bureau of Plant Industry are
of most importance to the florist trade. This Bureau
is given a total of $3,241,470 in the bill, which is
$391,440 less than the amount appropriated for 1923,
but $145,000 more than estimated by the Bureau of
the Budget. The increase over the estimates is in the
amount recommended for eradication of Barberry
(Berberis vulgaris) bushes, which was increased by
$150,000, but $5000 was cut from the estimate for
pomology.

No appropriation is provided for the annual distri-
bution of Congressional seeds. Among the more im-
portant appropriations provided for the Bureau are
the following : A fund of $77,000 is to be appropriated
for investigations of plant diseases and pathological
collections, including the maintenance of a plant dis-
ease survey, an increase of $5000 over the current
appropriations. Investigations of diseases of orchard
and other fruits, including the diseases of the Pecan,
are provided for under an appropriation of $113,935,
which is an increase of $21,000 over this year's; but
the fund provided for investigation of citrus canker
and its eradication is cut from $130,000 to $60,000.
No change is made in the fund for the investigation
of diseases of ornamental trees and shrubs and forest
trees, and $S1,115 is provided for that purpose;
$200,000 is to be appropriated for fighting the White
Pine blister rust, the same as is now available. An
increase of $10,000 is made in the fund for the in-
vestigation of diseases of truck, forage, drug and
related crops, and $127,000 is provided for that pur-
pose; a similar increase, making an appropriation of
$66,860, is provided for investigations of the physi-
ology of crop plants and for testing and breeding va-
rieties thereof.

A fund of $50,000, the same as appropriated for the
current year, is provided for soil bacteriology and
plant nutrition investigations. Soil fertility investi-
gations into organic causes of infertility, and reme-
dial measures, are to be continued with a fund of
$45,060, the same as now available. The fund now
available, of $39,S20, is continued for next year, to be
used in investigating, testing and approving plants
yielding drugs, spices, poisons, oils and related prod-
ucts ; crop technological investigations, including the
study of plant infesting nematodes, are to be con-
tinued, an appropriation of $42,440 being provided,
which is an increase of $10,000 over the present fund.
No increase is made in the fund of $44,680 provided
for studying and testing commercial seeds. This in-
cludes the testing of samples of seeds of Clover, Al-
falfa, lawn and other grasses secured in the open
market, and where such samples are found to be
adulterated or misbranded the results of the test are
published, together with the names of the persons by
whom the seeds were offered for sale. Also under this
appropriation the Department administers the act to
regulate the admission into the United States of cer-
tain adulterated grain and seed unfit for seeding pur-
poses. A total of $622,505 is provided for the investi-
gation and improvement of cereals, and for the study
and control of cereal diseases, including Barberry
eradication, and investigations of Flax and Flax dis-
eases, of which $350,000 is to be used for the destruc-
tion of Barberry bushes and other vegetation from
which rust spores originate.

Twenty-eight thousand dollars is provided for the
investigation, improvement, encouragement and de-
termination of the adaptability to different soils and
climatic conditions of various nuts. This is an in-
crease of $3000 over the current appropriation, but is
$2000 less than was asked for. For the investigation
and improvement of fruits and methods of fruit grow-
ing, harvesting, handling, etc., $131,700 is provided,
an increase if $10,000 over the present appropriation,
but $5000 less than was asked.

The annual appropriation of $15,000 is carried for
the cultivation and care of the gardens and grounds
of the Department of Agriculture in Washington; and
$20,500 is provided for the maintenance of the gen-
eral experimental farm and agricultural estate at
Arlington. This latter is a reduction of $50,000 from

the amount provided for the current fiscal year, but
is all that the Department asked for.

Twenty thousand dollars is provided for investiga-
tions, in cooperation with States or privately-owned
nurseries, of methods of propagating fruit trees, orna-
mental and other plants, the study of stock used in
propagating such plants and methods of growing
stock, for the purpose of providing American sources
of stock cuttings or other propagating materials. For
horticultural investigations, including the study of
producing and harvesting truck and related crops, and
the study of landscape and vegetable gardening, flori-
culture and related subjects, $79,440 is provided, an
increase of $7500 over the 1923 appropriation. The
present fund of $125,000 is continued for investiga-
tions in foreign seed and plant introduction, includ-
ing the study, collection, purchase, testing, propaga-
tion and distribution of rare and valuable seeds, bulbs,
trees, shrubs, vines, cuttings and plants from foreign
countries and from our possessions, and for experi-
ments with reference to their introduction and culti-
vation in this country.

A total of $115,000 is provided for the purchase,
propagation, testing and distribution of new and rare
seeds, of which $36,600 may be used for the purchase
and distribution thereof. This is a reduction of
$20,000 from the present fund.

The Forest Service is given an appropriation of
$125,640 for the purchase of tree seeds, cones and
nursery stock, for seeding and tree planting within
national forests, and for experiments and investiga-
tions necessary for such seeding and tree planting.

Twenty thousand dollars is provided for the use of
the Bureau of Chemistry in investigating and develop-
ing methods of manufacturing insecticides and fungi-
cides and for investigating chemical problems relat-
ing to the composition, action and application thereof.
A study of fertilizers and other soil amendments and
their suitability for agricultural use by the Bureau
of Soils is called for with an appropriation of $60,000.

The Bureau of Entomology is given a number of
appropriations for investigations of various sorts, in-
eluding the following: For investigations of insects
affecting deciduous fruits, orchards, vineyards and
nuts, $203,500 ; for investigations of insects affecting
cereal and forage crops, including a special investiga-
tion of the Hessian fly, grasshopper, and the chinch
bug, $170,000; for investigations of insects affecting
Southern field crops, $165,000; for investigations of
insects affecting forests, $55,000; for investigations
of insects affecting truck crops, $123,000 ; for investi-
gations of insects affecting citrus and other crops
known as sub-tropical plants, and for investigations
and control of the Mediterranean and other fruit
flies, $71,500 ; for investigation and identification and
systematic classification of miscellaneous insects,
$62,330.

A fund of $531,000 is provided to enable the Secre-
tary of Agriculture to meet the emergency caused by
the continued spread of the gipsy and browntail
moths, a reduction of $69,000 from the 1923 appro-
priation. Two hundred thousand dollars is provided
for the fight against the European Corn borer, the
same as now available, and $25,000 is provided for
the control and prevention of the spread of the Mexi-
can Bean beetle.

A reduction of $36,000 is made in the fund for the
market news service on fruits, vegetables, seeds,, etc.,
and $401,400 is provided for that purpose, for the
fiscal year beginning July 1, next. One hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars is provided to enable the
Secretary of Agriculture to enforce the insecticide act.

An increase of $200,640 is given the Federal Horti-
cultural Board for its work in enforcing the plant
quarantine act, and $306,490 will be available for
that purpose during the fiscal year of 1924.

The measure also carries $411,400 for eradication
of the pink bollworm and $13,000 for eradication of
the parlatoria Date scale. Collection of the seed grain
loans made in 1921 and 1922 is to be sought by the
Department, and $20,000 has been provided for that
work. -^ C. L. L.

Insect and Fungicide Board

The plant pathologists of this board have continued
their investigations with the more important classes
of fungicides to determine the amount of active in-
gredients necessary for the control of various dis-
eases. The data obtained from these investigations
are proving useful in enabling the board to judge
more nearly what can be expected of any product,
based on a knowledge of its chemical composition.

Quite extensive experiments have been made with
various classes of proprietary Bordeaux mixtures, as
to both their effects, their physical properties, and
the variations in their copper content. The campaign
designed to improve the quality and labeling of Bor-
deaux-lead arsenate was continued, and the labels
for most of these preparations were brought into con-
formity with law, although further work along this
line is necessary.

During the fiscal year especial attention was given
to some new or hitherto uninspected insecticides and
fungicides, and to combined insecticides and fungi-
cides which were alleged to control many insects and
plant diseases, either by inoculation into the tree or
by being absorbed by the roots or seeds of the plant.

An investigation was made of some of the newer
types of dusting mixtures now appearing on the mar-
ket. Special studies of the relative fungicidal values
of dry lime-sulphur products as compared with the
liquid form are now under way.

The recent developments in the use of dust insecti-
cides for the control of sucking insects have led to a
great increase in the number of such preparations, all
of which are being carefully tested. The work with
calcium arsenate has 'been continued and special at-
tention has been given to the effect of this material,
used alone or with the standard fungicides, on the fo-
liage of Apple Trees, shade trees, and ornamental
plants.

Bureau of Plant Industry

Some new ideas with regard to the growing of
plants have been tried out by the Department of
Agriculture during the past year or so, according to
the report of the Chief of the Bureau of Plant In-
dustry.

Irrigation Water Problems

It has been demonstrated by investigational work,
both in the laboratory and in the field, that the per-
meability of the soil to water is influenced by the
quality of the irrigation water with respect to its
dissolved salts. When there are chiefly salts of cal-
cium and magnesium the effect is to keep the soil
permeable and thus to prevent the harmful accumu-
lation of salts, provided sufficient irrigation water
is applied to leach the surface soil occasionally. On
the other hand, if the dissolved salts in the irrigation
water are chiefly of sodium, the effect is to cause the
soil to absorb water so slowly that the leaching out
of the dissolved salts is difficult or impossible. Thus
it has become possible to recommend the treatment
of irrigated land to prevent injury. when the irriga-
tion w-ater is deficient in calcium and magnesium
salts by the application of calcium sulphate, or gyp-
sum, in small quantities.

Another study has been that of the relation of soil
solutions to the growth of plants, and the results indi-
cate that plants are not restricted to the concentra-
tions of the soil solutions in immediate contact with
the roots, but may draw upon those located at some
little distance from them.

Investigations as to the effects of the relative length
of day and night on plant growth have been continued,
especially with reference to such problems as the
basis of Winter hardiness, the natural distribution
of plants, and their flowering and fruiting habits. A
method has been developed for growing plants to
maturity with artificial light as the only source of
illumination, thus making possible the better control
of all environmental conditions and thereby facilitat-
ing plant physiological research. Application of this
process to a number of species shows that initiation
of flowering and fruiting and other characteristic re-
sponses to differences in duration of the daily illumi-
nation period are brought about as readily with arti-
ficial illumination as with sunlight.

Borax and Soil Fertility

Investigations of the effect of borax on different
crops under a variety of soil and climatic condition
factors, show that the injuries reported during the
war were primarily due to the borax contained in the
fertilizer in proportions exceeding 10 pounds per acre,
although in many experiments much smaller quanti-
ties often caused some of the symptoms of borax
poisoning. Under moist soil conditions or when rains
follow the application of the fertilizers, the effect of
the borax is much less than where dry conditions
obtained. The potash sources which carried this borax
into the fertilizers are now so purified that the quan-
tity of borax contained in them is negligible. The
elimination of borax from fertilizers to a safe limit
has been accomplished, and no further damage need
be feared from this source.

Domestic Sources of Seeds and Stocks

The dependence which the United States places
upon foreign countries for so many of its fruit stocks
has led the Bureau to make a serious investigation
to find out whether American sources of seed and
stock may not be produced which will have all the
merits of the imported stocks. The desirability of
vegetative propagation of better stocks is assuming
much importance, and the fact has been impressing
itself more and more that the wide seedling variation
of the stocks that are in general use must have a
much greater influence on the merits of the trees
propagated on them than has been supposed.

The Division of Nursery Investigations, in addition
to its work on trees, has paid a great deal of atten-

tion to Rose stocks. The main line of investigation
is followed throughout. That is. sample lots secured
from all possible foreign and domestic sources are
grown and their development carefully studied. Addi-
tional stocks are then secured by cutting from the
original plants.

Rose Stock Studies

In the Rose stock work some of the stocks in com-
mon use are being grown and used for comparison,
but there is much promise in some species that have
not heretofore been utilized. These are represented
by species and varieties of Roses brought together
by the late Dr. Walter Van Fleet. Of these there
may be mentioned the following:

Rosa multiflora cathayensis — a very hardy Rose
of the multiflora type which propagates readily from
softwood and hardwood cuttings and develops a very
vigorous root system ; Rosa odorata — introduced from
China by the Office of Foreign Seed and Plant Intro-
duction— which propagates readily by softwood and
hardwood cuttings ; Rosa Souleana— introduced from
northern Chosen (Korea) — which eau be propagated
from seed which germinates the first year, and also
from softwood cuttings.

Other stocks which look promising are a setigera-
Wichuraiana hybrid of Dr. Van Fleet which propa-
gates readily from softwood cuttings, a Jaekii-Wichu-
raiana hybrid, Rosa multiflora polyantha, and a vig-
orous-growing type of Rosa multiflora. In addition to
these promising new stocks, the experiment will in-
clude stocks which are now in use commercially,
namely, Manetti, Canina, Madame Plantier, Seven
Sisters, Wax Rose, Ragged Robin, Rosa cinnamomea,
Rosa setigera, and Rosa rugosa.

While the larger part of the investigations is car-
ried on at the Bell (Md. ) station, work on a smaller
scale has been located at the South Haven substa-
tion of the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion, in cooperation with the latter, and at Norfolk,
Va.. in cooperation with the Virginia Truck Experi-
ment Station. C. L. L.

Carnation Ta Iks

By CHARLES H. PUGH

Is the Carnation Losing Popularity? Who Is

to Blame? Poor Culture Largely Responsible.

— High Temperatures, Disease and Pests Go
Together. — Care with Water.

THERE is sure to come a time in the life of
every individual, when he faces conditions, prob-
lems, and unpleasant duties, which he would
I much prefer to have the other fellow tackle. But we
I are all expected to do our share in the world's broad
i field of battle, and against any particular wish of
j mine, I have been assigned the unpleasant task of
I giving the Carnation growers, especially the special-
I ist, a good "dressing down." The specialist has been
I accused of sleeping, actually falling asleep on the
job, and he has been asleep so long that he is drift-
ing into a state of lethargy.

The Slumbering Grower

If the Carnation industry is, as many prominent
florists claim it to be, in a death-like trance, it is
high time that those growers who show any signs of
life at all, begun to rub their eyes, shake themselves
and pull together, in an effort to arouse those others
who. if not quite gone, are almost forgotten.

I am afraid it is a sad and a most deplorable fact
that we Carnation growers have permitted ourselves
■unconsciously to drift into a condition where we lack
enthusiasm and interest as regards our own chosen
work. Of course, there are exceptions ; some growers
are working diligently and faithfully for the Carna-
tion's advancement, but we are all aware there is in-
sufficient cooperation. It is seen on every hand.

The Carnation Will Come Back

The Divine Flower appears to be taking a back
seat, but it will assuredly come back, even into the
front row and, better still, on to the rostrum if we so
will it. Let every large and small grower begin by
making a decision to do his uttermost to grow the
l"-t stock possible by means of careful methods of
cultivation, so that his blooms may attain a mark of
individuality. To decide is to enter into the realm of
possibilities. Do not make the mistake of thinking
conditions hold you, it is more likely to be you holding
on to conditions.

There is a lot of work ahead ; we have got to think
and talk Carnations, first, last and all the time. There
arc a hundred and. one different ways to advertise
and, by a little mental concentration, each grower can
so. .ii decide as to his own method of advertising.

"Say it with Carnations"

Wliy cannot the specialist who is growing Carna-
tions exclusively, have printed on his shipping cases,
boxes, etc., the slogan, "Say it with Carnations," in-
stead of "Say it with Flowers." Let everyone know,
far and near, that growing Carnations is your busi-
ness, and that you have them for sale. I feel quite
sure that if this method was generally adopted, it
would aid considerably and make itself felt among the
public in a more urgent demand for Carnations. Not
only the Carnation growers but the entire florist busi-
ness would be benefited, but particularly it would add
a stimulus to the Carnation industry and this is
what we are striving for.
Where Some Growers Fall Down

Assuming the Carnation is losing prestige, what is
the cause and where is the remedy? Word was sent
to me a few days ago that a well-known New Eng-
land grower was giving up Carnations entirely. I do
not know for what reason, but it surely indicates
there is something wrong somewhere. I have known
growers who have become thoroughly discouraged be-
cause of stem rot, and have often heard them remark
that they had a good mind to give up Carnations and
grow something else. I can recall one man who did
so. Now stem rot can be overcome to a great extent,
by careful attention to the selection of cuttings and
to the process of propagation, and particularly to
planting, both in the field and in the benches.

The Golden Rule in Growing

There must be strict adherence to the rule that a
Carnation plant must never be subjected to force ; a
too high a temperature will pull down a Carnation
plant quicker than anything else I know of. Its vi-
tality is sapped, resulting in soft growth, small flow-
ers, weak stems, greater attraction for aphis and red
spider, while susceptibility to disease is increased a
hundredfold. The extra few insignificant flowers pro-
duced under such treatment by the man who grew
them should cause him shame rather than gratifica-
tion. The Golden Rule in Carnation growing is, "keep
your temperatures at all times where they belong."
Cleanliness Essential

If the Carnation is to retain its title as the Divine
Flower, the plants must be kept clean at all times.
Cleanliness is next to godliness, and the Carnation,
if divine, should not be subjected to uncleanliness.
When you syringe for spider, be sure to get down
under the foliage and into the curl of the leaves,
otherwise your time and effort is wasted. Whether
you do this yourself or have some one do it for you,
make it a point to see that it is done right, not once,
but all the time. Close application and attention to
detail is important in all lines of work, especially
in that of our own.

Consider the Plants When Cuttings Bloom

I think there is a tendency with some growers to
cut too long a stem, often at the expense of the

plant. I realize it is important to get all the stem
possible, but the plants must be considered. Not
alone for the oncoming crop, but also for the neces-
sary cuttings. Many growers remove the larger cut-
tings from the stems while grading the flowers; this
is a good rule to follow after you have your propagat-
ing beds ready, but I have ofttimes observed several
small cuttings left on the stems which, had they been
conserved to the plants, would have meant extra flow-
ers or cuttings later on. Unless you desire an extra
long stem for a special purpose, I advise the grower
to use discretion along these lines.

In order to get good straight stems, do not keep
your plants waiting for wire and string ; keep plenty
on hand, and keep them tied up as required. Also,
give prompt attention to weeds which are forever
growing. To let them remain means they are rob-
bing the plants of considerable nutriment as well as
being a discredit to the grower. Never permit green
fly to infest your plants; have a regular system of
fumigation or spraying. Personally, I prefer to use
hydrocyanic acid gas. This, of course, requires great
care in handling, but if used correctly, it gives entire
satisfaction.
The Watering Question

Watering at this time of the year is also a most
important consideration; try and keep your soil just
right. A little on the dry side if anything rather than
too moist. It surely pays to go around and examine
your soil before deciding to water. If the soil, when
taken into the hand and squeezed, falls back loose into
the hand when opened, in other words does not pack,
the chances are your beds require water,' although
you may find places in the same bed where the soil
will pack. In such spots, water should be withheld.
Direct the water between the rows and let it fall
gently on top of the soil, so as to avoid wetting the
foliage. Whenever you find it necessary to syringe
and know the plants cannot dry off before night, take
a lath and insert it between the rows and gently rap
the plants from side to side : this will remove the
water, and eliminate a possible attack of rust and
leaf spot. A more detailed discussion on these and
other points will be taken up later on.

If in the past you have been inclined to let things
slide, turn over a new leaf, make up your mind to
sail and not to drift. After all, it is the little things
in life that count and we must give attention to each
individual one, or there can be no success.

New York Seed Trade

Many of the leading seed stores of this
city have this week given their store win-
dows a Christmas dress, which no doubt
reflects the Christmas spirit of the pro-
prietors and employees of these several
stores.

Stumpp & Walter Co.

The window of this store at 30-32
Barclay st. has a decidedly Wintry, and
we might also say an arctic look, pre-
senting an especially beautiful sight un-
der the electric lights after the darkness
of night comes on. The window floor and
the rough hills in the background are
covered with snow against which elec-
trically lighted Christmas trees, minia-
ture Christmas trees, and laurel branches
stand out in sharp contrast. Rustic
bird houses of Cedar, horticultural books
and lustreware receptacles for bulbs or
flowers in the foreground complete the
display.

Peter Henderson & Co.

Quite large. elaborately decorated
Christmas trees form the background of
the display in the windows at Hender-
son's at 30-35 Cortlandt St. In the fore-
ground are baskets of Helichrysum and
other everlasting flowers prettily ar-
ranged, also baskets of garden tools and
gloves, suggesting that the gardener be
ready for the Spring work. Garden
books, too, help in this display, and the
legends in the window are appropriate,
for example, "Make This a Merry Christ-
mas for Your Garden Loving Friends.
Send Them an Order on Peter Hender-
son," and another. "When in Doubt Send
a Book." The companion window is
given over to an exhibit of pruning tools
and spray materials, and there are sam-
ples of Apples from sprayed and pruned
trees, and others from trees that were
untreated.

Carters Tested Seeds Inc.

"Accept Best Wishes for a Merry
Christmas from Carters Tested Seeds
Inc." is the legend in the window of this
tine, large store at 53 Barclay st. A
snow-covered floor, small Christmas trees
electrically lighted, an ice-covered pond,
snowbirds, a snow-covered country house,
and Poinsettia flowers to give a touch
of color to the snow, makes up the dis-
play.

Vaughan's

Of this elaborate Christmas window at
41 to 43 Barclay st. we spoke in detail
last week. Suffice it to say that it is
well kept up this week and improved by
almost daily additions ; it is easily among
the best displays of this kind in the city.

Burnett Bros.

The Chambers st. seedsmen are not be-
hind time in manifesting their Christmas
spirit through their window displays. At
this store the scene is a little different
from that anywhere else. A window floor
covered with green sheet moss, small
Christmas trees, Lycopodium. wreaths,
bowls of bulbs sunk in the moss covered
floor so as to conceal the receptacle, and
plants of Sanseveria, and red Poinsettias
make up a nicely arranged Christmas
display.

Catalogs

Almost or quite every seed store in
this city has now placed its catalog in
the hands of the printer, and late Decem-
ber and early January undoubtedly will
find the majority of these books in the
mails, or perhaps, even in the hands of
the seed buyers. Burnett Bros., 92
Chambers st. announce that theirs will
be out next week and also their novelty
list ; and. furthermore, that they have
already mailed out several thousand
calendars.

At the MacNiff Horticultural Co.'s
store, 196 Greenwich St., we note an
unusually full line of appropriate Christ-
mas plants. Christmas greens, wreaths,
roping, Frieze, Ruscus, and other dis-
tinctively Christmas goods, for all of
which an excellent demand is reported.

Ailing Woodruff, manager of the Seat-
tle (Wash.) branch of S. D. Woodruff &
Sons, 107 Greenwich St., arrived in this
city recently. He tells us that he made
a number of stop-offs at principal points
when coming across the continent and that
he expects to remain in this city for a
few weeks. At the Washington st. store
of this firm numerous heavy shipments
of seeds are being made daily, the entire
force of employees being fully occupied
in keeping up with the orders.

At Vaughan's, all hands are busy with
Christmas greens such as Holly, Laurel
roping, Pine, Boxwood, etc. They re-
port one of the busiest seasons in these
commodities in a good many years ; also
that they have a carload of Cannas and
Caladiums now being loaded in the South
and expect it to start north the end of
this week. They have received an early
shipment of Tuberoses for filling early
and export orders, and a carload now
loading in the South soon to be on the
way. They are also experiencing a great
wholesale demand for flower seeds at this
time. Their travelers are sending in nu-
merous orders for Gladiolus bulbs and
Onion sets, in which they specialize.
They are mailing their wholesale, deal-
ers catalogs and market gardeners cata-
logs this week.

The American Bulb Co. has engaged
and has remodeled to fit its needs, the
first floor and basement at 0 Murray st.
as headquarters for their Eastern activi-
ties. We regret to learn of the recent
death of the mother of J. J. Karins, the
vice-president of this company and gen-
eral manager of the Eastern branch, to
whom the sympathy of the trade is ex-
tended.

Chicago Seed Trade

Vaughan's Seed Store has issued its
green wholesale trade list for 1923. In
the retail store there is a large rush on
holiday goods. At the West Side ware-
houses' the shipping of Gladioli bulbs to
the South lias begun.

A. Miller of the American Bulb Co.
returned Sunday from a trip to New
York City, where he went to complete
arrangements for the opening of a
branch store. The location secured is
6 Murray St., a large store with base-
ment. James J. Karins, who will have
charge of the New York branch store,
has the sympathy of Chicago friends in
the loss of his mother at Riverton, N.

J-

Christmas shopping started briskly at
the AY. W. Barnard store the past week.
The store is handsomely decorated with
frieze, and Holly wreaths, plants, bulbs
and other attractive holiday goods.

A. Henderson & Co. report good busi;
ness in holiday goods as well as Gladioli
bulbs for the southern trade. Ben
Baker and Simon Dernison came in last
week from a southern trip and will re-
main in the store until after the holidays.

C. W. Johnson of the H. W. Buckbee
greenhouses was a visitor the past week;
he states the increasing business of his
house has necessitated the addition of
another complete story to the seed ware-
house which will be equipped with mod-
ern labor saving machinery.

Vaughan's Greenhouses at Western
Springs has had a splendid trade on holi-
day plants, disposing of a fine lot of
Cyclamens and Poinsettias. They still
have some excellent Crotons and Boston
Ferns, samples of which are to be seen
at the store.

These GLADIOLI have received an award wherever exhibited this past season., Note
how they are recommended under "The Week's Work," page 1611, The Florists Ex-
change, December 16, 1922, and under "Seasonable Suggestions," page 65, The Florists'
Review, December 7, 1922.

Mention is made in these articles that the Primulinus varieties flower considerably
earlier than other GLADIOLI, are purer in color and more graceful and artistic for decora-
tive purposes. They are even superior to the old Nanus varieties like Blushing Bride and
Peach Blossom, of which the prices are now almost out of reach. We offer same in named
varieties in limited quantities as an introduction at the unknown reasonable price of $25.00
per 1000; Mixed, all colors, $20.00 per 1000. They are now ready for shipment at our
New York warehouse.

On demand, we shall gladly submit prices on all other varieties and sizes of GLADIOLI
from our American, Canadian and European nurseries for forcing or planting out.

Our 1922 LILY OF THE VALLEY PIPS are now in cold storage or sailing from Europe
We offer them at $20.00, $15.00 and $10.00 per 1000. Write for samples and description.
They can remain in cold storage at purchaser's expense until wanted.

We are now also ready to quote on DUTCH BULBS for 1923 Fall shipment. The
trade will be visited by us in due time. Correspondence is always invited.

William H. Burns of the office of sugar-
plant investigations, Bureau of Plant In-
dustry, is now in Florida supervising the
planting of some special strains of Sugar
Beet seed for the development of new
varieties. He is also arranging for the
planting of Sugar Beet seed at several
points in Florida, for the purpose of de-
termining whether or not the commercial
Sugar Beet seed sold in this country is
free from Mangolds or stock feed Beets.

Interesting news is that G. C. Edler, on
the Bureau of Agricultural Economics
of the Department of Agriculture, has
gone to Canada to secure information
concerning seed legislation now being con-
sidered in the Dominion. He will also
visit a number of Canadian seedsmen to
obtain data on imports of seeds from the
United States. On his way back to Wash-
ington it is expected that Mr. Edler will
stop at Chicago to confer with seedsmen
of the Middle West. C. L. L.

Western Seedsmen Meet

The Western Seedsmen's Association
held its Fall meeting in Kansas City,
Dec. 10, with a strong attendance. Fred
Mangelsdorf of Atchison, president of the
association, presided at the business ses-
sions, and he also acted as toastmaster
at the banquet. Mas Wilhelmi of Law-
rence, Kan., secretary, was present per-
forming his duties. The morning meeting
was devoted to field seed subjects. Ex-
pressions by seedsmen indicated almost
unanimous optimism over the prospects in
the business, with the market evidently-
strengthening. The speech making of the
convention took place at the luncheon
session, at the Baltimore Hotel. Mayor
Cromwell delivered an address of wel-
come, and the Rev. Andreas Bard made
a brief talk on ethics. Thornton Cooke
president of a Kansas City bank,' spoke'
on the economic situation.

The afternoon session was devoted to
garden seed subjects. Reports indicated
a shortage in many green pod Beans, and
also m certain varieties of Onions and

Parsnips. Sweet Corn is in good demand
and in rather short supply. The volume
of future orders from retailers is said to
be unusually good, promising that the
movement will go forward satisfactorily.
The Bruns Seed Co., Mason City, la., and
the Stark Seed Co., Louisiana, Mo., were
elected to membership.

The banquet was held at the Kansas
City Club in the evening.

The annual meeting of the association
will be held in Omaha in the Spring.
Election of officers will then take place.

Catalogs Received

The Livingston Seed Co., Columbus, O. —
Seed Annual 1923. A well gotten up list with color
illustrations of vegetables on the front cover and
Zinnias on the back. Numerous half-tone cuts
are found in the 90 or so pages and he would be
a difficult individual who could not find his re-
quirements. The firm specializes in field seeds as
well as flowers and vegetables and being confined
wholly to seeds, the variety offered in this catalog
is quite extensive.

H. G. Hastings Co., Atlanta, Ga. — Catalog
for Spring, 1923. The first general seed catalog
for the season. The Southern planters begin to
prepare when we in the North have just covered
up our plants and frames for the Winter, which
explains the early arrival of this excellent catalog
of near y 100 pages. With colored covers showing
Gladioli, Roses, flowering annuals and a sample
of Redfield Beauty Tomato, this list is well worthy
of consideration. The vegetable seed list is ex-
tensive and varied, and the half-tone cuts are
numerous and good. Of flower seeds there is also
an excellent collection, while in the way of flower-
ing roots, Gladioli, Dahlias, Cannas, "Tuberoses,
etc., are well represented. A good list of decor-
ative and hardy plants follows, Roses being promi-
ment. As might be expected from a firm which
farms its own and on an extensive scale, agricul-
tural and field seeds are also an important feature.

J. Van. Lindley Nursery Co., Pomona, N. C.
— Complete retail nursery catalog of nearly 70
pages. Deals with all kinds of ornamental stock
as well as Roses and fruits of all kinds. Lavishly
illustrated in halftone with one color plate of Roses.
This firm specializes in landscape work and in the
opening pages gives useful information as to order-
ing and the care of trees, etc. In addition to the
descriptive catalog, which is without prices, a blue
price list is issued, while a small booklet, entitled
"Paul's Practical Plant Points," completes the
series. The booklet, which contains the well-known
features of Paul C. Lindley, is chock full of snappv
paragraphs on the handling of cut flowers and
plants indoors and outdoors.

Thos. Cogger, 229 Laurel st., Melrose, Mass. —
Wholesale price list of Gladioli. Considerably
over 100 varieties are listed with brief descriptions,
all being offered in seven sizes, from lis in. up
down to bulblets for planting out. The list in-
cludes all the best of the recognized florists' vari-
eties, among them Miss Helen Franklin, one of
the finest whites for cutting. The new American
Beauty, which was well shown by Mr. Cogger in
Boston and New York last season, is also listed.
Dahlias and other bulbs are also grown by this
concern.

Joe Shadow Nursery Co., Winchester, Tenn.
— Folder catalog featuring in color a number of
fruits. This firm is controlled by Joe Shadow and
his five sons, and the firm prides itself on its high
quality stock. While catering to the private gar-
den interests, the company does an immense busi-
ness with orchard trees.

Carl Salbach, Oakland, Cal. — Devoted to
Dahlias and Gladioli, this well gotten up catalog
is of no little interest. It features some of the best
California Dahlia novelties and a select list of
standard sorts in each section, including Cactus,
Decoratives, among which is Mrs. Carl Salbach,
a giant pink of no little renown; Peony flowered
and Collerettes. The collection of Gladioli is also
of considerable importance.

Austin Trial Grounds, Ravena, O. — Small
retail folder list of Gladioli including several of the
firm's own novelties and a number of new sorts
from other raisers. The list covers only a few
varieties of proved merit. This firm also does a
large wholesale trade.

Alfred Oesterling, Butler, Pa. — Wholesale offer
of Gladiolus bulbs in limited variety. Both
standard and new sorts are enumerated and bulbs
can, in most instances, be supplied in six sizes and
also as bulblets by the hundred up to the bushel,
according to the variety.

Arrowfield Nurseries, Petersburg, Va. — -Folder
giving details about Pecans as shade trees and for
profit. It would appear that for areas where frost
is not severe, the Pecan is a most valuable subject.
Pecans are hardy in Indiana and in all probability
varieties will eventually be raised for more northern
atitudes.

Trade Good

Business continues good, as there
is a keen demand for all kinds of flow-
ers. Funeral work is heavy. Carna-
tions are scarce, and range from 8c. to
15c. each; Roses are more plentiful and
sell from 15c. to 50c. each. The stores
are commencing to stock up now and
the show windows are bright with all
kinds of pot plants. Christmas is near
and we are all looking forward to a good
trade. R. K.

Seed Catalogs in France

Judging by the remarks in the Bulletin,
Joseph Paquet, the French seedsman,
needs to be wary when allocating his
printing order. We read that copy de-
livered for the English edition of J.
Paquet's seed catalog on July 18 was not
delivered in completed form until mid-
October. Last year, the same concern,
after waiting for delivery of the French
edition, received 1000 copies only and
was then left in the lurch. The Bulletin
therefore urges seedsmen to choose a se-
rious printer, agree on price, date of de-
livery and so forth.

Trade Notes

Dec. 18. — Business is normal, and
the scenes are all set for the big battle to
take place this week. From all indica-
tions it is going to be one of the biggest
ever. The supply houses are working day
and night, getting out last-minute orders,
and there seems to be more of them than
ever this year. Everything in Christmas
supplies is selling well and it looks like a
clean up.

All the retail stores, no matter what
their line, have decorated more extensively
this year than ever before, and the de-
mand for decorative greens and artificial
decorations has been larger than ever.

Cut flowers took a back seat last week,
which was just as well, as the supply was
light, and there would not have been
enough to take care of a large demand.
As it was, there was just about enough
to clean up nicely each day.

Stock of all kinds is in moderate sup-
ply, including American Beauty and other
Roses in all varieties. Lilies, Carnations,
Sweet Peas, Valley, Violets, Orchids, Nar-
cissi, Stevia, Mignonette and Baby Prim-
rose. Roses will be the backbone of the
Christmas business, and it looks as though
there would be plenty to go around, es-
pecially in the better grades. Carnations,
Sweet Peas and novelty stock will be
scarce, but we are all living in hopes that
there will be plenty for all.

All these varieties are the Winter-
Flowering Spencer types and can be grown
indoors or outdoors the year around.
They will produce more and better flowers
outdoors than the old late Spencers, be-
cause they bloom 3 to 4 weeks earlier,
before the hot weather sets in. Plant
after the Chrysanthemum and get a full
crop for Easter. Plant in cool frames or
outdoors just before the freezing begins
and get a full crop in May for Decoration
Day. Plant out of doors in the Spring
and they will bloom early in June.

Fertilizer Studies

The development of domestic resources
of fertilizers has been receiving consider-
able study by the Bureau, of Soils, ac-
cording to the annual report for the fiscal
year 1922, just made public by Milton
Whitney, chief of the bureau. One of
the important results of these investi-
gations lias been the elimination of borax
from potash from Searles Lake. Reports
to the bureau in 1919 indicated that ex-
tensive injury was being done to crops by
the. use of fertilizer containing borax.
This has been the only deleterious sub-
stance found in American potash, and as
a result of the bureau's work, the borax
in potassium chloride now produced in
Searles Lake compares favorably with
that, found in sodium nitrate, a nitrogen
carrier long used in fertilizing the crops
of this country.

During the year the bureau continued
its investigation of phosphate, and is de-
veloping uew methods of securing phos-
phoric acid from run-of-mine and low
grade phosphates.

Arsenical Insecticides

Manufacturers of insecticides are the
largest buyers of the domestic supply of
refined white arsenic, taking the greater
part of the 9581 tons of this product, val-
ued at $1,486,000, which was produced
in this country during 1922, according
to an estimate by V. C. Heikes of the
United States Geological Survey. The
sudden demand for the product "by the
manufacturers of insect powders and
preparations is held as being largely re-
sponsible for the rapid increase in price
from 1i/Ac. a pound in Julv, to 8%c. in
August, and loVfcc. in December. The
average price, however, seems to be be-
tween 7c. and 754c.

Most of the' manufacturers that re-
ported to the survey used the greater
part of their purchased domestic arsenic
in making lead arsenate. During 1922
about five times more lead arsenate was
made than all the other arsenical com-

arsenate, Paris green and Bordeaux mix-
ture. Reports indicate, however, that
the demand for calcium arsenate is rapid-
ly increasing, and it is expected that dur-
ing 1923 the output of this product will
be doubled, while that of lead arsenate
will be smaller.

Need of Cheaper Insecticides

The Bureau of Chemistry of the De-
partment of Agriculture is endeavoring to
determine cheap and effective methods of
preparing insecticides and fungicides on
a commercial scale, according to the an-
nual report just made public by W. G.

Campbell, acting chief. "New, efficient
and cheaper insecticides must be found if
agricultural workers are to combat suc-
cessfully or finally exterminate some of
the pests most destructive to farm crops,"
Mr. Campbell declares. The work in-
cludes studies of the properties of com-
mercial insecticides, and during the year
progress was made in determining the
rate of deterioration of certain materials.
It was found that the rate of deteriora-
tion of bleaching powder depends mainly
upon the temperature in which the ma-
terial is stored, and the type of container.
Investigations of the rate of deterioration

mologist of the Department of Agricul-
ture, just submitted to Secretary Wallace.
During the fiscal year recently ended, the
Bureau of Entomology actively prosecuted
its campaign against the insects which
threaten our agriculture, horticulture and
forests. Several studies of importance to
greenhouse growers are now under way in
the department. The Strawberry root
worm, which is a serious pest of Roses
under glass, is receiving a large amount
of attention, the work being done in co-
operation with the Pennsylvania State
Department of Agriculture. Fumigation
with hydrocyanic acid gas, at the rate of
one and one-half to two ounces per 1000
cubic feet of space, is not only suitable
for a single unit type of house, it is
stated, but by using heavy muslin cur-
tains the gas may be confined to any
section of an open range house. A num-
ber of open range houses, involving 33,000
Rose Plants, have been fumigated con-
secutively at the above rate, with a mor-
tality of beetles of about 97 per cent, and
no injury whatever to the plants was to
be noted from the treatment. It has
also been ascertained that the Rose beetle
can be reduced to a negligible quantity
by keeping beds free from mulch, manure
and dead leaves during the Winter
months, and if persistent hand picking of
the beetles is resorted to during the latter
part of the Summer.

Further studies of the bulb mite, Rhi-
zoglyphus hyacinthi, have been made, in-
cluding tests of numerous insecticidal ma-
terials. Paradichlorobenzene proved to
be the most effective in killing the mites.
During the year, also, studies of the green-
house leaf-tyer have been concluded and
a control program worked out, involving
a combination of remedies directed pro-
gressively against the several stages, be-
ginning with the adult.

In cooperation with the superintendent
of the United States Botanic Garden, the

bureau has carried out important experi-
ments to determine the practicability of
frequent fumigation of greenhouses with
hydrocyanic acid gas in order to keep the
greenhouse free from such common in-
sects as white flies, etc. No permanent
injury followed, and the houses were kept
virtually free of pests by the treatment
given. The results are of much impor-
tance to florists as indicating the desira-
bility of adopting the practice of frequent
fumigation with reduced strengths of gas
as a means of keeping under subjection
their injurious insect pests.

Tree and Shrub Pests

Work on insects affecting shade trees
and ornamental shrubs has been continued
in Washington and in California. Con-
siderable work in California was done
from the various field stations on the
Pacific flat-headed borer, defoliating cat-
erpillars, live-oak leaf-gall, mealy bug on
citrus shade trees, the Cypress bark scale,
grasshopper defoliation of roadside trees,
etc. Work was also continued on the
cable beetle, which causes serious damage
to lead telephone cables in California.

The work against the Japanese beetle
has been prosecuted with continued vigor.
Much aditional information concerning
the life history, habits and injurious char-
acter of the pest has been obtained, and
studies of arsenical insecticides and para-
sites affecting the beetle have been con-
tinued.

Approximately a half million dollars
was expended in checking the gipsy moth
and brown-tail moth in New England,
New Jersey and New York. The cam-
paign is showing excellent results; the
maximum spread of the brown-tail moth
was in 1914, when over 38,000 square
miles was infested, and this maximum has
now been reduced by 67 per cent. Ex-
perts have been sent to Japan and Europe
to study gipsy moth conditions and to
secure and ship parasites and other na-
tural enemies to America.

Discovery in Aug. 1921 of the Corn
borer, on the islands in Lake Erie, oppo-
site Sandusky, Ohio, stimulated the bu-
reau to undertake an active campaign to
prevent the insect from reaching the fields
of the Middle Wet. Many lines of in-
vestigation are being followed out to find
possible means of control, and an effort
will be made to stamp out the pest, al-
though it is not believed that this will be
successful until the badly infested areas
across the lake in Ontario are cleaned up.

Where Does Our Hard Coal Go?

Congressman Brennan of Michigan
has introduced a resolution in the House

of Representatives calling on the Federal
Fuel Distributor to report to the House
the amount of anthracite coal produced
in the United States which has been
shipped to Canada and other foreign
countries since Sept. 22, 1922, and the
proportion which that amount bears to
the total amount of anthracite coal in
this country since that date. He also
asks the distributor for an expression
of opinion as to the advisability of es-
tablishing an embargo upon the expor-
tation of hard coal until such time as
the requirements of the consumers of
the United States are satisfied.

Imports of Canadian Coal to Be Taxed

Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Eliot Wadsworth has ordered collectors
of customs to assess all imports of Ca-
nadian coal coming into the United
States at rates of duty equal toi the rates
imposed by Canada upon American fuel
entering that country. This action is
taken under the provision of the tariff
law providing that with respect to cer-
tain commodities wherever any foreign
country subjects American products of
that type to duty, countervailing duties
shall be applied to such products from
such foreign country coming to the
United States.

Hereafter, on all coal imports from
Canada the following duties will be as-
sessed: Anthracite, anthracite coal dust;
coke, free. Bituminous slack coal such
as will pass a three-quarter inch screen,
per ton (2000) 14 cents. Bituminous,
round and run of mine and coal not
otherwise provided for 53c. per ton.

Florists along the border who have
been buying other Canadian products
will be interested in knowing that coun-
tervailing duties are also to be assessed
on imports of chloride of lime and ce-
ment and brick, as follows: Building and
paving brick, 22 V4 per cent ad valorem;
chloride of lime, 15 cents per 100 pounds
on packages of not less than 25 pounds
each, and 25 per cent ad valorem on small
packages; and cement, 8c. per 100
pounds, the weight of the container to
be included in the weight assessed with
duty. C, L. L.

Nashville, Tenn.

Trade Notes

Nashville florists have reason to be
pleased with the results of the show held
in connection with the State Florists

Association, reported some time ago. This
was the first real show of any magnitude
ever held in the city and it was well at-
tended by the public. Hundreds of peo-
ple came with pencil and notebook, made
inquiries and took notes and now local
florists are beginning to have inquiries
for stock that particularly attracted the-
public eye. More of the Nashville pub-
lic are asking for definite varieties of
Chrysanthemums and Roses than ever be-
fore. Undoubtedly even greater results-
will appear when the time arrives for
planting next Spring.

The weather has been almost uniform-
ly warm, with considerable rain since our
last report. However, we have had two-
or three cold days with stiff frosts at
night, and these have helped the mar-
ket wonderfully. Thanksgiving was a
bright, sunshiny day, and this brought
additional business to the florist. There-
was an abundance of good cut flowers of
all kinds on hand this year, and rather
more pot plants than usual. This was-
especially so because many of the Poin-
settias intended for Christmas, were at
their best for Thanksgiving. Practically
everything was cleaned up early in the-
day, even the Poinsettias going like hot
cakes.

Vanderbilt and Suwanee Universities-
held their annual football game in the
city, as they have done each year for
20 years. A new stadium which seats-
22,000 people has been built on the Van-
derbilt campus and this doubtless ac-
counted for the : attendance being the-
largest ever known. Yellow is one of
Vanderbilt's colors, and white is one of
the Suwanee colors, and for the past
few years, it has been the custom of foot-
ball fans to carry either a white or a
yellow Chrysanthemum to the game. This-
custom seemed even more universal this-
year than in the past, and it cleaned up-
everything in the way of a Chrysanthe-
mum. All of the firms with whom we-
have talked, agree that the volume of
business was larger this Thanksgiving
than that of last year.

Now that Chrysanthemums are mostly
gone, Roses and Carnations occupy the
center of the cut flower stage. Roses
have been exceptionally good in Nashville-
all Fall. Carnations, due. to the unus-
ually warm Fall, have not yet reached
first class quality. They are improving,,
however, in spite of cloudy, dark weath-
er; and are selling well. Only a few
Sweet Peas have made their appearance
thus far; Valley is in reasonably good
supply; Violets are coming in fairly
freely from out of doors, although as
yet, the stems are rather short. Paper-
whites are being used freely.

The supply of plants and cut flowers
for Christmas promises to be good. If the
weather continues favorable, the growers
have timed their Roses well, and the sup-
ply of other cut flowers is increasing
from day to day. The feature of the
Nashville market this year has been its
exceptionally good pot Chrysanthemums.
There was not such a wide variety as
formerly, and we were sorry to see so
few good single Chrysanthemums offered.
Nevertheless, this has been more than
made up by> the exceptional quality of
Anemone flowered plants that have been
offered.

The wreaths and other prepared
Christmas material is in stock now, and
is the most attractive we have ever seen,
but Holly and Mistletoe are both in
short supply and of poor quality this
year. Florists do not handle these items
as they are usually hawked on the streets
and sold on the market square. We have
seen no good quality thus far, but pre-
sume it will come from somewhere later.

Land Added to Awbury (Pa.)
Arboretum

Formal presentation of six acres of
park land in G-ermantown, Philadelphia,
Pa., part of the old Haines Farm, was
made to the City Park Association.. The
donors are Mrs. Samuel Emlen, Jr., and
Mrs. W. M. C. Kimber, daughters of Reu-
ben Haines, who established the farm.

This land adjoins the Awbury Arbore-
tum, presented to the city from the Cope
Estate some years ago. The whole area,
about 125 acres, is to be eventually con-
verted into a botanical garden.

A resolution thanking the donors was
adopted by the Awbury Committee at
their recent meeting.

Keeping a Record

Everybody Should Do So

Next Tuesday morning will be the
best time for you to take oft a couple
of hours and put down approximately the
amount of stock used for Christmas, in-
cluding as near as you can figure out,
everything in the way of plant9, flowers,
Holly, wild-Smilax, berries and greens as
well as baskets, ribbon and other ac-
cessories. With each year we are in
business such a record well kept, be-
comes invaluable. It is the only way
that you can plan for another season
and should be done, while all is fresh
in your mind. In a few weeks from now,
it won't be; a thousand other things will
occupy your mind and require your at-
tention, including the getting ready for
the other holidays to come. With a rec-
ord on hand, it will be an easy matter
for you to order whatever you will want;
also in working up the stock you grow
on yourself. You may have been short
on certain items this year or have had a
surplus of others. All this is well worth
remembering and the only way to do so
is to put it down on December 26.

Lobelia Chat

Is This the Way You Do It?

To talk about bedding plants around
Christmas time don't appeal to us, but
the seedsmen are getting busy reminding
us of approaching Spring, which will be
with us before we know it. Now is the
time to make out our list of wants in the
way of seeds and bulbs. Among the first
■things we sow are the dwarf and trailing
Lobelias. Usually after the seed is up
in the seed pans, the little plants stand
there, without a move, perhaps for weeks
and yet it is the early sown, cool grown
seed which makes the best plants and
give the best results. You don't have^tof
bunch six or seven plants into a 2%in.
pot to make a show. You can grow
them on singly and let them branch and
develop in a 48 or 50 deg. house, into
bushy little specimens with foliage right
to the pots, the dwarfs to be used for.
edge planting and the trailing kind for
the front of window boxes, the lawn
vases or the rustic tubs, wherever blue
is wanted.

Geraniums

Midwinter Cuttings

Up to Christmas, those 2in. and 2% in.
Geraniums may have to remain in a side
bench, but the sooner you get them
shifted into 3^s the better. Given a
48deg. house and a light bench, these
plants will all give you a good cutting
by the middle or end of January, and
the removal should not hurt the plants
in the least. Such cuttings don't need to
be trimmed much into shape. Let most
of the leaves remain and, instead of put-
ting them into a propagating bench, pot
up into 2s. If you should be fixed so as
to permit the pots on a bench with just
a little bottom heat, while the tempera-
ture in the house is not over 50, you
will root every one. Not only that, but by
the time they are rooted you have also
a well established plant. The plants you
shift now into 3%s if grown on in a
cool house, can remain in these pots up
to the end of March and then get their
final shift into 4s. Or part of them can
be grown on into specimens in larger
pots.

Vinca rosea and alba

You May Have Use for Some

The average florist doesn't any longer
consider these old time favorites as de-
sirable bedders and yet there are few
plants more showy when massed, or so
persistent in blooming. They are showy
from the day they are bedded out un-
til cut down by frost in late Fall. But

For a Merry Christmas

Delivering is the Last But by No Means the Least

You are not through with that Christmas order until it is safely delivered
into the hands of those who are to be made happy with it. Those in charge
of the packing and delivering are as valuable to you as any of the help
in your establishment. Extra material for proper wrapping, expert pack-
ing and careful delivering will go far toward making your patrons' as well
as your own a Merry Christmas.

you should have a fair sized well branched
plant in May to start out with, and in
order to obtain such you should sow seed
by the end of December or early Jan-
uary. It is best to use a good strong
bottom heat for sowing, but when the
little plants are once under way, carry
them in a Carnation house temperature.
Vincas are to be recommended to the
retail grower and with him they will
come in handy when called upon to
plSnt a bed or border with something
just a little different from the usual
Geraniums, Salvias or Cannas, especially
if it has to be something which can stand
full sunlight all day and doesn't need
too much attention.

Lilium giganteum

For Easter Flowering

If you are going to force giganteum
Lilies for Easter, before you start be
sure that you can always figure on at
least a 60 deg. house, that is, when ac-
tual growth is once under way. Also
that you will have no trouble in raising
the temperature up to 70, 80 or over if
found necessary in order to hustle things
along. If there is a secret to the suc-
cessful handling of these Lilies, it is
growing them without a check. That is
more important than all else. The soil
they are planted in; how deep or shal-
low you plant; how you water or how
clean you keep them matters least; if
you have any doubt about maintaining
60 degs., better not start at all and buy
your requirements later on. The sooner
you get the bulbs into the pots the bet-
ter; give one good watering and place
the pots below a bench in a 55 house; a
little higher temperature won't hurt. Keep
the soil in the pots fairly moist and as
soon as you notice the first signs of
growth, start in to push and keep on
pushing. Give a 60 deg. house, a sunny
bench, spray and fumigate to avoid
green fly; have proper drainage in the
pots, keeping the soil always moist — you
can water as it comes out at the hose — -
but if the water is of the same tempera-
ture, or a little over, as the house, so
much the better.

Carnations

Just a Few Pointers

You will have your hands full, up to
the 26th, but with Christmas out of the
way, it won't be a bad idea to spend a
little time on the Carnations. You can't
keep them too clean and if there is any
bad foliage, if it can be removed without
too much trouble get after it. Soil piled
up along the edge of the bench from
waterings, should be brought to the cen-
ter and you won't do anything but a lot
of good by applying a light mulch
consisting of well decomposed manure
and soil. If you wish, you can also give
a light topdressing of bonemeal, just
enough to cover the surface is sufficient
for the first dose. Put it on the mulch
and work in it with your hands. Keep
on disbudding and see to it that the
plants are properly supported. Don't set
any time for watering, but examine the
soil in the benches and apply water when-
ever necessary, whether this is twice a
week, three or more times. When a
bench doesn't dry out, don't stop there;
find out why it doesn't and correct the
trouble.

The First Fifty Years of the Arnold
Arboretum

L'nder this title the Arnold Arboretum,
Jamaica Plains, Mass., has issued a 40-
page bulletin, written by Prof. C. S. Sar-
gent. This bulletin is actually a reprint
from the Journal and from it, one can
gather not only the whole history of the
Arboretum, but also gain some idea of
the work accomplished, and thereby rea-
lize the importance of it as a scientific
institution, the only one of its kind in
the world.

The influence of the Arnold Arboretum,
which was instituted by three trustees
appointed by James Arnold, to foster
agricultural and horticultural pursuits,
cannot be denied. The Arboretum has
something like 6000 species and varieties
of trees and shrubs, all clearly labeled
and grouped up under their various
genera.

A glance through the list of plants
shows that the Arboretum has introduced
or discovered an enormous number of
trees and shrubs, hitherto unknown, or
of which no live specimens were in culti-
vation. Plants and seeds have been sent
from the Arboretum to all parts of the
world.

In its efforts to locate rare or unknown
species, the Arboretum has sent its col-
lectors to all parts, E. H. Wilson being
the most famous. The list of trees and
shrubs introduced into the United States
by the Arboretum practically fills 20
closely packed pages, 6in.x9in., a very
large proportion being absolutely new sub-
jects not previously in cultivation any-
where.

Of native Hawthorns, Prof. Sargent,
who the entire 50 years has been in
charge, has selected no less than 1056
species from the 200,000 plants that have
been raised from seed.

The Herbarium is an important feature
of the Arboretum. Alfred Rehder, who
is in charge, has done much work that
has benefited the horticultural world at
large. The library contains some 35,500
volumes, and outside of the British Mu-
seum, no library in the world has a finer
collection of 15th and 16th century hor-
ticultural works. Close on 10,000 photo-
graphs of trees and shrubs, etc., are stored
in steel cabinets.

The future needs of the Arboretum are
set forth, but these propositions can only
be carried out with the aid of further
endowments. Much of the world has still
to be explored for trees hardy enough to
withstand the climate of New England.
The Arboretum also needs properly
equipped departments for the study of
insect pests and diseases, as well as a
plant breeding department.

Is Gardening a Profession ?

When the question arises, Is gardening
a profession? I answer, Yes! although
whenever it is discussed as such there is
nearly always to be found a diversity of
opinion of its being so classified than
that of a trade.

That the man who merely possesses
sufficient knowledge to mow the lawn,
tend to the vegetable patch, and grow a
few varieties of flowers, is rated as a
gardener instead of a garden laborer, is
no fault of the profession unless it may
be charged with having been lax in mak-

ing it more generally known what the
qualifications of a gardener really are.

Neither has the profession any power
to prohibit Milady from deriving pleas-
ure out of referring to "my gardener"
whose chief duties are to run a Ford, tend
to the furnace, do the cook's chores, and
when the nurse absents herself, look after
the children in addition to his gardening.
His proper title is that of handy man. Of
course, if the standard of the gardener is
to be judged by all who are classed as
gardeners, one might even be justified in
assuming that the gardener comes with-
in the ranks of labor.

When, however, we consider the gar-
dener who possesses the talent and the
ability to produce all that is aesthetic in
in the garden, he surely cultivates a fine
art, which is in every respect entitled
to recognition as the work of a profes-
sional. But his knowledge is not alone
limited to the garden, for as the super-
intendent of an extensive country estate,
he must have a working knowledge of
agriculture, husbandry, dairying, build-
ing, road construction, power plants, etc.,
in order to prove himself an efficient su-
pervisor of the work and that comes under
his management.

Those who have had experience with
gardeners, know that the type at times
portrayed by the humorist, does not rep-
resent the gardener who depends on his
intelligence for success. The increasing
tendency to turn to the colleges to ac-
quire a theoretical knowledge as well as
the practical experience which comes to
one through working in a garden, will
bring recognition to the profession as
being a worth while one, one that creates
inspiration and not discontent among
mankind. M. C. E.

[The seed and nursery trades, we
think, have considerable influence and a
vital interest in the development of gar-
dens and gardeners. Many estate own-
ers look to the trade to supply the right
kind of gardeuer and not a few firms
keep a special register for this purpose.
It must not be forgotten, however, that
not all ow-ners of gardens run big es-
tates and therefore cannot afford to em-
ploy big staffs. Yet one might conceiv-
ably find on such places more or less
single handed men fully as clever and
perhaps more so, than others who pos-
sess every, facility for producing fine
results In Europe, we venture to think
there are far more small gardens em-
ploying one or two hands than there are
large estates and the ability of such men
or their right to be classed in the garden-
ing profession is not questioned. — Ed.]

A Formal
Entrance Planting

By
SAMUEL NEWMAN BAXTER

WHEN it comes to plant ma-
terials for formal effects,
the Catalpa Bungei and
California Privet are well-known
allies and two ever popular sellers
in the nursery trade. The Catalpa
if left unpruned soon makes a
large head and for this reason is
often seen to outgrow the space
when planted too close in formal
pairs, though appearing well pro-
portioned when first planted.
Some planters have no objection
to this and encourage two trees to
interlock, forming one mass of fo-
liage or archway with two sup-
porting stems. Where this effect is
not wanted buyers should be cau-
tioned to anticipate this growth
and locate plants further apart,
though not necessarily the great
distance as shown in our illustra-
tion, though in this instance they
do appear in proportion. But

Catalpa Bungei and Privet for Formal Entrance

Note how the English Ivy softens the stone of the house. The Privet is clipped to forr
gateway and has almost the appearance of Boxbush

a continuous hedge and

where close planting is wanted
customers should be informed that
pruning will keep the Catalpa to
any size desired and many per-
sons make a practice of annual
shearing, leaving but a few inches
of the new growth to reniain.
Such cutting back we recommend
to be done in Spring, that being
the best time. Propagation of
Catalpa Bungei is by grafting on
native stems, 5ft. to Sft. being the
usual heights.

As to Privet, our illustration
shows one of many possibilities in
design for its use in forming an
arched gateway entrance, "tied
in" with the hedge. The shears
work wonders with Privet and,
frequently used, cause a close
cropped growth of smaller leaves
bearing considerable resemblance
to Boxbush. Note in our illustra-
tion how the English Ivy (Hedera
helix), "softens" the stonework of
the house. This is a vine which
florists will find desirable to keep
on hand in pots for, aside from
its use as an evergreen wall cover--
ing, many plant it as a ground
cover where grass will not grow.
It is also used as a grave decora-
tion and for window boxes, the lat-
ter use being especially appropri-
ate now when the filling of Winter
boxes with evergreens is in order.

Nurserymen and Interstate Regulations

By L. E. MANNING

Of course, the first thing to be mentioned is Qu. 37.
But really, gentle reader, from a nurseryman's stand-
point Qu. 37 is one thing. From the broad view of all
horticulture it is rather different. In last week's
Exchange appeared an article on California's prog-
ress under this quarantine — which has undoubtedly
benefited the nursery trade enormously up to the pres-
ent time.

No, this article is not knocking Qu. 37.

What then? Hark and you will understand.

In matters of law and government, one of the most
important things imaginable is a precedent. The F
H. B. has established a precedent in putting through
Qu. 37. Those who see advantage in similar quaran-
tine's have only to point at this ruling to justify theiv
actions along similar lines.

Take the interstate quarantines — the White Pine
Blister Bust is a good example. What have you there?
A blow so serious to New England nurserymen who
have White Pine to sell that the growing of this ex-
cellent evergreen in quantity has been practically dis-
continued.

These restrictions on commerce have their good and
bad points. Naturally, it protects States not yet in-
fested with certain pests. Perhaps, as entomologists
have repeatedly stated, this one fact is sufficient to
justify the whole matter. But on the other hand, is
the loss to the industry arising from the restriction
greater or less than the loss which would arise from
the pest — if ordinary precautions were taken to in-
spect stock thoroughly?

The precedent set by Qu. 37 is a solid, real thing.
It is no bugaboo of prejudice. Ask your lawyer and
he will tell you that.

Viewed by nurserymen of America, the whole affair
has. admittedly, been beneficial. But will the ulti-
mate results of that precedent be as beneficial? That
is the problem which arises next in order.

Last year and before this phase of the quarantine
sil nation received considerable discussion. But so
far as we can ascertain, it was never brought to a
logical conclusion. Fc what wason, we know not.

The arguments given above are old. Do the good
and bad in the interstate regulations so offset each
other as to create an impasse? Or was it that Qu. 37
was proving so financially remunerative that any
criticism of its methods or origin seemed ill-advised?
And then take the State individually, for instance.
The now Georgia law — Idaho, Montana, Oklahoma,
South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia and
other States have similar rules which govern and
restrict interstate shipments of nursery stock.

These systems of regulating interstate commerce
are operating as a tariff. They are legally based on
the plea of inspecting stock before it enters a State.
But the fees and bonds required are not payment for
that inspection. The actual inspecting is done — as it
always has been done — where the plants are growing
in the nursery rows. The rest is merely a rider on
that necessity by the State authorities. It oper-
ates to protect the home nurseryman from the com-
petition of nurseries in other States.

It is also intended to protect the buyer from un-
scrupulous nurserymen outside the State. As a matter
of fact, does it do this? Not at all. The reliable nur-
seryman usually refuses to take orders from States
where restrictions and regulations are too exacting.
But the unscrupulous dealer will pack up leftover
stn.k and "take a chance" on its getting through.

Meanwhile, the nurseryman in the home State pros-
pers, of course, and this is very fine — if the nursery
industry wants to be split up in this fashion.

Looked at in one way, home-grown products are
a [it to thrive in the same climate where they have
been grown — whereas stock from warmer climes may
not stand up to the cold Winters. But the arguments
on the other side of the case are so numerous that
it would be futile to go into the matter. As an exam-
ple, consider the comparative cheapness of stock
grown all year in the South and the same kind of
stock in the North where the growing season is much
shorter and where, perhaps, heat must be used dur-
ing the Winter.

Qu. 37 is now an established fact among nursery-
men. Is it not now the proper time to consider how
far the quarantine methods of theorists should be
carried? Or just where and why the State derives
its right to impose an arbitrary restriction on inter-
state commerce (if not on the plea of inspection of
stock) — a restriction that does not actually protect

its public in any way, even if it is designed to do so,
but merely oue industry within that State.

Surely it is 100 per cent American to wish for a
group of States, each of which shall be 100 per cent
American! As H. E. Holden remarks in his letter
published in The Exchange for Dec. 16, "is it time
to take the 'United' out of United States?"

That plant quarantines no less than other "artificial
obstructions in the path of the trade" are a potential
cause of international friction and even of conflict-
That plant quarantines are at best but temporary
expedients, serving to delay the inevitable advance of
insect and other pests and are very likely to prove in
the end pernicious expedients —

That it would constitute a far more progressive and
effective program were the country to spend funds
now used in the futile attempt to keep out plant pests
for the investigation and determination of successful
control measures to be employed when the pest ar-
rives—

These were among the fundamental arguments ad-
vanced at the F. H. B. hearing Dec. 19 in protest
against the proposed additional restrictions of the
importation of fruit and vegetables from countries
thought to be infested with Mediterranean and other
fruit flies.

Arguments advanced by growing interests of Cali-
fornia and other States maintained that above all
other interests stand those of American productive in-
dustries ; that in the event of any possible danger from
foreign pests the -domestic grower should be given the
benefit of the doubt in the form of complete protec-
tion and the burden put on the would-be importer to
prove the absence of any such danger ; that under
existing circumstances the introduction of any fur-
ther fruit pests involving the necessity of additional
control measures would impose on the growers pro-
hibitive extra production costs and on the consumers
a burdensome additional retail price; and that if
existing laws do not give the Department of Agricul-
ture power to provide the desired complete protection

Daphniphyllum macropodum
(glaucescens)

Two excellent specimens of Daphni-
phyllum glaucesens were noted during a
recent visit to Volunteer Park, Seattle.
They form low dense bushes, 10ft.
through and 4ft. tall, bearing Daphne
like, evergreen foliage, which is edged
with a narrow band of creamy yellow.
At present they are a mass of flower
buds. These bushes were brought from
Japan seven years ago, by A. J. Bonnell
of Bonnell's Nursery and, with other
plants, given to the park. Since planted
they have never been disturbed or
pruned. This speaks well for their neat
habit. Locally, they propagate readily
from half ripe wood cuttings,^ placed in
sandy soil in a close frame in August.
At one of the park entrances, a neat bor-
der on each side of the walk consists of
50 plants, about 18in. tall, propagated
from the originals and all show the low
growing compact habit of the parent.
Experience here has shown that this
shrub delights in a dry, sandy position,
where there is no chance of excess mois-
ture at the roots. Geo. Cooper.

protection in the New York area es-
pecially while young. — Ed.]

Qu. 37 and Nursery Prices

Wm. N. Craig, well known as a strong
opponent of the quarantine law as it
stands, and who recently entered in the
commercial ranks, has a lengthy letter in
the Southern Florist regarding the price
of nursery stock in general. This letter
is in reply to one previously written by
Reasoner Bros., who took exception to the
remarks of Robt. Cameron, president of
the National Association of Gardeners,
made at Boston. Wm. N. Craig is no
mincer of words, and without speaking on
behalf of Robt. Cameron, who, by the way,
was a strong supporter of the quarantine
until prices began soaring, he declares that
some products have now been boosted
from 150 to 400 per cent above pre-
quarantine days. He declares that a
number of private gardeners have been
compelled to start small nurseries for the
production of stock to fill their require-
ments because of the outrageous prices.
Incidentally the F. H. B. does not escape
castigation.

Comment from Cassell

Nursery Editor The Florists Exchange:

Last year we used an eight-page folder,
using our mailing list of about 1200 deal-
ers, and were sold out and oversold on
many items within a week after mailing.
This year we are going to try the F. E.

We like your paper very much, but of
course disagree with you on Quarantine
37.

With best wishes for the F. E.
Yours truly,

Hearing on Fruit Quarantine

(Continued from page 1689)

t'ornia and elsewhere are prepared to ap-
peal to and demand of Congress such
amendments as may be needed to convey
that power.

This hearing held in one of the smaller
rooms of the National Museum which
was more than comfortably tilled by over
a hundred representatives of importing
and exporting merchants, foreign govern-
ments, scientists and domestic growing
interests did not, of course, deal with
materials directly concerning the nur-
seryman or ornamental horticulturist ;
but in view of the well-presented, high-
class arguments offered on both sides, it
is of considerable significance in regard
to the quarantine situation generally.
Furthermore, the decision promised by
the Board and according to its promise
to be based on a complete, careful con-
sideration of all the points emphasized,
will be awaited with keen concern not
only by the fruit trade, but also by all
horticulturally inclined.

The hearing was opened, as usual, by
Dr. Marlatt. chairman of the Board,
stating the sole aim of the Board to be
the protection of American industries
and disclaiming any concern in economic
protection of any business. He cited
various forms of fruit Hies known to be
injurious in other countries and while
admitting that the Department's knowl-
edge regarding many of these in-
sects is incomplete, stated that the volu-
minous records seemed to warrant radi-
cal measures.

The first speakers were representatives
of California, including Senator Samuel
M. Shortridge, both of whom, acknowl-
edging the nation's interest in com-
merce, stated its greater interest must
lie in its own industries. They expressed
the hope that all concerned would agree
with them that if the laws are not suffi-
cient to afford the limit of production
that the necessary legislation to this end
should be enacted to prevent the destruc-
tion of American fruit growing such as
has been suffered, according to their in-
formation, in foreign countries. The
chairman then opened the discussion to
representatives of foreign governments.
Among the countries spoken for were
Belgium. Netherlands, Australia, Argen-

tina. Chili, Italy and Spain, most of
these emphasizing the fact that they were
not infested by Mediterranean fruit fly
and that in addition to the precautions
already taken to insure a high standard
of exporting fruits and vegetables, they
were ready to cooperate to any further
desired extent in protecting the interests
of America.

Dr. Lounsberry, in charge of the dis-
ease and insect protection work in the
Union of South Africa, reviewed his 25
years' experience with this pest through-
out the world and pointed out whereas
it was widely distributed over South
Africa and particularly abundant in
home gardens and hedges, it had become
a practically unimportant pest in all
commercial orchards, causing little dam-
age and responding readily to control
measures. He also pointed out that re-
frigeration such as is necessary in trans-
porting perishable fruits from distant
countries has been shown to effectually
destroy the insects even in affected ship-
ments within a certain period. Finally,
referring to his earlier writings on the
subject, he expressed the belief that the
damage a pest might be expected to do
on the basis of laboratory or experi-
mental evidence and what it actually did
do when introduced into a new country
were two entirely different things and
that, in his opinion, the fear of Ameri-
can fruit growers of this particular in-
sect and of the chance of its becoming
established in this country as a serious
menace, were unfounded.

The general manager of the Pan-
American Union and representatives of
American growing interests in foreign
countries, especially the western coast of
Mexico, spoke in a similar vein, Dr.
A. W. Morrill especially defending the
products of western Mexico and urging
that the maintenance of those cultures
through the permission of imports into
this country would do more to stimulate
foreign countries to control injurious in-
sects than an embargo which would not
only destroy the industries there and in-
jure the interests of many Americans,
but also discourage foreign nations in
their plant protection work generally.

The next group of speakers repre-
sented various phases of the American
fruit handling trade, both importing and
exporting. Dr. Herrick of the New
York State College of Agriculture was
introduced as expert witness for this
group and made an effective plea for
the maintenance of comity between na-
tions, urging constructive work in the
development of control measures rather
than the necessarily futile attempts to
prohibit the natural spread of insects
from country to country.

The possibility of retaliatory measures
by other countries in the event of seri-
ous restrictions being placed on fruit
imports, was brought forward by a rep-
resentative of the Waterman Co. of New
York, as a very real danger that might
affect a business totaling more than
.$00,000,000 a year. He maintained that
so long as the damage threatened by new-
pests is in the least problematical, the
question of an embargo as a means of
protection should be very carefully con-
sidered before being enforced.

The afternoon session of the hearing
was turned over to spokesmen for the
American growing interests, most of
these representing California orchardists
although others spoke in behalf of the
canning industry of California and the
interests in the Northern Pacific States,
Florida and in West Virginia. E. B.
Reid of the American Farm Bureau Fed-
eration announced that that organiza-
tion had recently adopted resolutions
commending the F. H. B. for its work
and asking Congress to appropriate any
funds necessary to keep out the Mediter-
ranean fruit fly. Another representative
of general farm interests was Charles
Lyman, secretary of the National Board
of Farm Organizations who, pointing out
the close relation of California farmers to
the central body, stated that agriculture
in this country is in a deplorable condi-
tion in view of existing pests, droughts,
high freight rates and other difficulties
and that the possible introduction of ad-
ditional pests would constitute a menace
of serious dimensions.

The point was brought out in discus-
sion that in addition to certain fruits
that regularly served as hosts for the
Mediterranean fly, it has been known to
be carried on shipments of sugar and
other sweets as well as in the crevices
of containers, personal baggage and ships

themselves. This led to the question as
to whether it would not be necessary^ to
embargo all shipments of every kind
from an infested country and this pos-
sibility Dr. Marlatt stated would have
to be taken into consideration in arriving
at a decision.

The hearing was brought to a close
after Dr. Marlatt again pointed out the
purpose of the Board to protect the grow-
ing interests of the country from destruc-
tive enemies, the importance of further
investigations into the effects of refrig-
eration as a destructive power, and third,
the necessity of sufficient time before any
decision on the question of a fruit quar-
antine will be arrived at.

Lenox (Mass.) Hort. Society

At the annual meeting of the above
society held Dec. 13, the following of-
ficers were re-eleeted for the ensuing
year: President, Wm. B. Connor; vice-
president, Frank Nash; treasurer, Alfred
J. Loveless; secretary, Wilfred G. Lewis.

Sweetstuff

According to a New Jersey report, 32
per cent of the gross weight of Sweet
Potatoes can be converted into syrup.
That's going some, and on the assumption
that syrup can be converted into sugar,
it looks as if even Sugar Beet has no
mean rival. We have not heard how the
Dahlia sugar proposition is proceeding,
but between these various roots it looks
as if sugar cane doesn't matter a bit, un-
less it actually serves as a price controller.
Likely as not, some of those interested in
root sugar production would like to see
outside sugar put on the prohibition list.
What a gorgeous time they would have,
although the root producer would prob-
ably not share in it.

New Orleans, La.

The Market

Dec. 16. — The florists had a little
more cheerful expression on their faces
last week, which indicates that the trend
of business is for the better. Everybody
is busy, only the catch hangs on the fact
that they want to be busier than they
are — they want to be rushed, and con-
sidering the season of the year, they can-
not understand why they are not "stand-
ing on their ears," as it were, in an effort
to fill orders. The warm weather is given
credit for keeping some business away,
and from all reports we are not to have
a real chill until Christmas Day, and
from then on orders are to watch out.

Stock is plentiful at this time, recent
rains having helped to bring about this
condition. There are lots of Roses, and
the city is swamped with Poinsettias. The
coming week prices are expected to take
a jump, and with Christmas Day only a
week off, why shouldn't they? There are
quite a few Chrysanthemums still on the
market, which are in fair demand. Car-
nations are in abundance, all shipped from
the North, but local dealers say that they
are not as good as they should be for
this time of the year. The stems are too
short for one thing. Sweet Peas are com-
ing in in larger quantities now, but the
local crop of Sweet Peas is not yet on
the market. Violets are still a negative
quantity. Orchids are seen in practically
every shop and are coming more into de-
mand. Roses continue to hold the center
of the stage in point of sales.

Horticultural Society Meets

The address of C. W. Eichling of
the Avenue Floral Co., on the subject of
"Bookkeeping," was the main feature of
the meeting of the New Orleans Horticul-
tural Society, held last Thursday night,
at the shop of P. A. Chopin on St. Charles
ave. Mr. Eichling stressed the importance
jf carefully keeping books and of putting
down each item as it occurs, so that no
mistakes may arise. Paul Abele, chair-
man of the committee on improvements
for the home of incurables, announced
that the work has been completed and
the grounds beautified in a manner of
which the society might feel proud.
Ernest R. Barber, former United btates
entomologist stationed at New Orleans,
and an honorary member of the club, was
ippointed consulting entomologist of the
society.

Elmer Farley of the Gentilly Terrace
Nursery announced that he is giving
Creole Easter Lily bulbs a fair trial this
season, and from present indications they
are doing nicely. These bulbs are grown
under the same conditions as the imported
bulbs, he said. Louis Reuter of the firm
of Chris Reuter was appointed to furnish
the daily papers with a list of seeds once
a month, which list is to contain the
names of plants and flowers suitable for
planting during that month, with general
instructions for their cultivation.

Paul Abele was chosen to read a paper
at the next meeting on "The Best Pot
Plants to Raise for Profit." This meeting
will be held next month at the seed store
of Louis Reuter in the Vieux Carre. It
has been decided to continue holding meet-
ings at the stores of the various members,
because of the greater convenience.

School Gardening

James M. McArthur of the depart-
ment of school gardening has just placed
bulletins in all of the public schools of
the city, giving planting lists for Decem-
ber and January gardening. The object
of the bulletins is to give information to
nature study teachers for practical in-
struction of pupils on the preparation of
grounds and planting of seeds. A number
of nurserymen and gardeners were con-
sulted by Mr. McArthur during the prepa-
ration of the lists.

News Notes

P. A. Chopin, prominent florist and
president of the Lions' Club, has been
appointed by Mayor McShane as a mem-
ber of the Board of Trustees of the Isaac
Delgado Central Trades School. Mr.
Chopin takes the place of Prof. Douglas
Anderson, who resigned as a member of
the board several months ago.

In the flower shop of Charles Eble were
seen the first Pussy Willows of the season.
These were shipped in from the North.
* * * C. W. Eichling of the Avenue
Floral Shop has adopted a rather unique
method of displaying his Christmas trees,
of which he has now on hand a nice sup-
ply.. He has them planted around the
little patch of grass in front of his store,
and one large one is placed in a pot in
the center of the sidewalk. The flower
shop is rather quaintly situated on an
esplanade between two streets on the
avenue, so that the* Spruce Trees give it
quite an unusual appearance.

At the Metairie Ridge Flower Shop was
seen a pot of Easter Lilies in full bloom,
which made us wonder if we had read the
calendar wrongly, until J. G. Schattmaier
explained that it was only a freak plant.

U. J. Virgin has the sidewalk on Canal
st., in front of his store, literally filled
with Christmas trees, but so far the
traffic officer has done nothing but smile
and nod his head at the people stopping
to look at them.

Charles Eble is showing in his
flower shop some choice Begonias which
he says were grown in his own green-
houses. He has also for sale Orchids,
Cyclamen, Poinsettias and the first local
Lily of the Valley to bloom. Mr. Eble
raises for his own use a number of flow-
ers which he finds it hard to secure from
foreign markets and has been remarkably
successful in raising some excellent
stock.

Max Scheinuk has the right idea when
it comes to decorating windows for Christ-
mas, as a glance at his St. Charles ave.
store will readily show. Red and green,
the yuletide color scheme, is effectively
carried out, red Poinsettias in small and
large pots, Jardinieres and long-neeked
vases furnishing the bulk of the decora-
tions. The floor is covered over with red
paper, and the pots are all wrapped in
red, while red, green and blue lights
strung over the top and winding down the
inlaid pearl screen background add the
right touch of Christmas to the air. These
windows are especially effective when
viewed at night.

Claud Ory, secretary of the New Orleans
Horticultural Society, whose nursery is
only two blocks off the avenue, states
that he is thinking of going into the busi-
ness of raising Aspidistras on a large
scale during the coming year. Mr. Ory
already has 1000 plants under cultivation.
The demand for this plant is increasing
rapidly since the importations from
abroad have stopped. New Orleans is
about the only place in the country where
it is raised in big quantities, and prac-
tically the entire supply will be sent from
this city during the coming years.

As is explained in another column, bulb growing
on commercial lines is nowhere in the United States
more possible than on the abandoned Rice lands of
Georgia. The soil has all the characteristics required
for the production of clean, good looking bulbs and
if a number of skilled men tackle the subject ear-
nestly, we doubt not that Georgia can be made fa-
mous for bulbs.

Publicity Without Proof

Persons interested in the trend of quarantine af-
fairs suffered a new shock and began to prepare for
a new declaration of importation restrictions when, on
Nov. 29, the New York papers (and probably those
in other places) carried the following news item re-
layed from Harrisburg, Pa. :

Find "Death Watch Beetle" Destroyer of Willow
Ware

Harrisburg-, Pa., Today.— The State Bureau of Plant
Industry in conjunction with Federal authorities ha-*
located a new pest, known as the "death watch beetle "
which lives in imported willow furniture. The beetie
is a small black insect; so tiny, in fact, that it looks
UKe a tuack dot. It makes a ticking- sound at regular
intervals for many minutes at a time. It has an affinity
tor willow work the texture of which it eats out and
makes brittle. Specimens have been placed in the col-
lection of insects at the capital.

Recalling that it had long been familiar with an
insect of this character, in legend if not in actual ex-
perience. The Exchange wrote to the Pennsylvania
Bureau of Plant Industry for a verification of the
report, and for information as to what, if any, quaran-
tines the reputed discovery of a new pest might lead
A reply just received is reassuring as to the facts,
but rather alarmingly illuminative of the possibilities
of exaggerated publicity and the creation of un-
founded fears thereby. The Executive Assistant of the
Bureau writes as follows:

"I have taken the matter up and I find that the
publicity man of this Department bought a new
wicker lamp and lamp shade. He heard mysterious
noises in it and he asked the curator of our insect
collection why this was, and he learned that the
insect is one of the Bostnjchidw. This is not a new
species, it is a cosmopolitan species living in all kinds
of wood throughout the world. It is of no importance
except where art work, fancy baskets and wicker
lamp stands and such tilings are attacked It is not
new and was not recently imported."

It would seem as though the "publicity man" re-
ferred to, had either (1) been misinformed, (2) mis-
interpreted what was told him, or else (3) wilfully
presented the facts in such form that it would "make
a good story." In either case the situation indicates
the desirability of more accuracy and restraint on his
part, and of closer cheeking up by the authorities of
the Bureau of all technical news matter sent out
A publicity department can serve an admirable pur-
pose by giving out information and advice to the
public: it can defeat its own aim (in attempting to'
secure the public's confidence) and cause serious
trouble by disseminating statements that are only
half true or less.

Forecast of the New Bulb Rulings

The report of the new bulb rulings of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture as forecast in another column
is not official and we therefore reserve our comment,
beyond calling attention to two features of the sug-
gested regulations as amended. Namely : if, since
1919, the Tulip. Narcissus, Hyacinth and Lily grow-
ing industries have not reached sufficient proportions
to supply the country's needs, what hope is there that
domestic growers will put the far less important and
less profitable culture of the five minor bulbs men-
tioned on a sound basis within three years? Second,
if Narcissi are such a menace as to warrant exclu-
sion in 1925, how can their continued importation
until that time be permitted without subjecting the
country to all possible danger of infestation? Or, con-
versely, if these bulbs can safely be admitted for
three years, why not — under careful inspection — for
six. ten. thirty-three — or indefinitely?

However, let us await the official ruling before in-
dulging in further wonderings.

The Real Problems of Plant Quarantine

The F. H. B. hearing of Dec. 19 on the proposed pro-
hibition of importation of fruit, and vegetables from
certain countries was a valuable contribution to the
annals of the quarantine problem as a whole if for
no other reason than that it clearly defined the broad,
fundamental principles upon which, some day, this
problem will have to be solved.

With every' new discussion of any phase of this
subject there is borne down upon us the resemblance
of this quarantine question to an iceberg — of which
as we are often told, the visible part represents but a
fraction of the unseen but tremendously great mass
hidden below sea level.

In the same way, the matters that are brought up,
defended, condemned, argued first by one group and
then by another as to the harmfulness of one insect
and the innocence of another, the efficiency of one
regulation and the futility of the next, the injury
of one trade and the benefit of another — all these
are but superficial and relatively unimportant in the
field of human progress, as compared with the all
enveloping considerations that have only recently-
been really discussed.

Can nations hope to isolate themselves sufficiently
to really prevent the spread of insect life from one
part of the earth to another? Would such an isola-
tion, even if it accomplished- that result, be in the
end advantageous or destructive to the best interests
id' .ill mankind? And can we, in trade, crop produc-
tion, and commerce any more than in other aspects
of human intercourse, set up the individual nation as
the ultimate aim rather than the permanence and
peace of all peoples?

Far-fetched? Visionary? General? Of course, but
why not look into the future as well as at the prob-
lems of today? Why not think now and again of our
work as men and women, as members of the human

race, rather than merely as fruit growers or plants-
men, exporters or propagators, New Yorkers or Cali-
fornians, Americans or Italians or Belgians?

Some day the vital significance of measures adopted
to accomplish a single, minor result will be revealed —
perhaps at a vast, unimagined cost. Why not en-
deavor to measure and appraise those results in ad-
vance, and take them into full consideration?

Of course that is what the F. H. B. sets out to dol
in arriving at a decision based on such a hearing as
Tuesday's. But is it fair to place upon a small
group of five men — of unquestioned ability in their
respective but necessarily narrow fields, and notwith-
standing the advice ready at their hand — the respon-
sibility of settling questions of such awful magnitude,
such appalling potentialities? Actually, it would seem,
these problems demand the weighty consideration of
the best brains, the keenest analyists. the most far-
sighted statesmen of all the world, to the end that
the subject in all its complexity may be studied as a
whole and, perhaps, solved as a whole, instead of
time, money, 'and effort being spent, and disagree-
ment, friction and heartburnings being caused by un-
related attempts to treat of its individual discon-
nected lesser phases?

Here are thoughts to ponder over when you get
tired of the petty round of everyday worries and
disturbances.

Amateurs Favored, Trade Threatened in New
Bulb Ruling

Temporary Modification to be followed by Ban on
Narcissus, is Rumor

Washington, D. C. — The Federal Horticultural
Board, according to advance information secured by
the Washington Bureau of The Florists Exchange
from confidential sources, is about to open the list
of restricted bulbs for the benefit of the amateur
growers of the United States but, at the same time,
take initial steps toward drawing the lines tighter
on the bulbs handled in commercial quantities.

In advance of a definite statement by the Depart-
ment of Agriculture it has been ascertained that
eight bulbs are. to be added to the six now permitted
free entry (Lily, Lily of the Valley, Narcissus, Tulip,
Hyacinth and Crocus),. making a total of 14 bulbs so
exempted. Included among the eight varieties are
said to be Gloxinia. Galanthus, Fritillaria, Chiono-
doxa and Ixia. The bars will remain lifted for a
period of three years when present restrictions will
again apply.

The writer learns also that the Department will
announce that at the end of the three-year period,
when these eight bulbs return to prohibited sched-
ule, there will be added along with them, Narcissus
bulbs, of which the unrestricted entry will then no
longer be permitted.

The additions to the list were much sought by ama-
teur growers and commercial firms doing a mail order
business. Complaint was made to the Board that the
regulations as now drawn are particularly irksome
to the amateurs who wanted additional sources of
supply of bulbs for naturalizing. Hearings were held,
and the new order is reported to be in process of for-
mulation, possibly as a Christmas gift to the ama-
teurs. It will not, however, give much solace to the
bulb importers, if it carries the "kicker" covering I
Narcissus bulbs. There is, apparently, no tendency
on the part of the Board to liberalize the regulations • l
in favor of the commercial dealers in bulbs. Its ill
every move, on the contrary, is to so tighten the lines -|
that soon the domestic producers will have a complete
monopoly of the bulb producing industry.

The imports of the eight varieties of bulbs added
to the open list are not particularly heavy. They are
not the money crops, and if they are offered as swap
for Narcissus, the importers are getting a very poor
return. It is understood that the members of the
Board themselves consider this new order simply a
concession to the amateurs and know it does not mean
very much from a commercial standpoint. C. L. L.

The Carnation

Elsewhere we publish some timely cultural notes
for Carnation growers, together with some seriously
considered views on the oftentimes declared state-
ment that the Carnation has lost prestige with the
florist and is considered but lightly by the public.
The article referred to was written by a practical
Massachusetts grower, who is given credit by others
for producing wonderfully fine stock for the firm he
represents and for having as clean and healthy a lot
of plants as can be found anywhere in the country.

It would appear to be his view that the present

December 23, 1922.

The Florists Exchange

day standing of the Carnation has been brought about
largely by growers who have neglected to follow the
rules of good culture. To a large extent he is probably
correct for poorly grown, badly selected and roughly
handled plants do not ensure strong stemmed, long
keeping flowers, such as the retailer and the public
feel they are entitled to.

We ourselves consider one of the greatest failings
of Carnations is the more or less general, rough meth-
ods of shipping the flowers. That famous English
grower, Carl Engelmann, when here recently, declared
that the bunching and bulk packing of top grade Car-
nations would never get anywhere in England; bunch-
ing there is only adopted with inferior grades. It is
a common practice for buyers in Covent Garden to
take so many boxes, just as they arrive from the
growers, affix a label and ship them to Northern flo-
rists 400 or 500 miles away without even opening the
boxes. The label on the outside of each box is all the
buyer looks at.

Then again we feel that the hybridists have not
devoted the same attention nor exhibited the same
enthusiasm as was evident ten or more years ago.
With few exceptions, the novelties of today, which in
themselves are fewer, are not up to the general good
or distinctive standard of the past.

At exhibitions, too, growers have not made the most
of their opportunities as have exhibitors of other sub-
jects. It is perfectly true that we have not that ama-
teur Carnation growing element which makes it so
profitable for specialists of other countries to ex-
hibit several thousands of blooms at a time, but that,
possibly, is the result of our own growers neglect.
Backyard greenhouses are certainly not so numerous
as in Europe, but amateur Carnation culture is not
necessarily confined to indoors. It is not so in Eng-
land and therefore it is just as possible to sell large
blooming plants in pots for Summer blooming out-
doors here as there. We have rooted cuttings out-
doors in September and carried them over in a cold-
frame; therefore it would be easy enough for grow-
ers to raise plants in a similar way, carry them along
in pots in a cool house and have them in fine shape
for planting out in May. Every country florist should
urge the use of Carnations for beddings, etc., and
thereby stimulate a greater interest in the Divine
Flower.

Our^Corner in Governmental Activities

Of all the centers of activity of our Government
that of the Department of Agriculture is, without
doubt, in a business way. the most valuable for the
florist, nurseryman and seedsman.

How many of our readers realize this, we do not
know, but we feel sure there are hundreds who could
avail themselves of the services of the various bu-
reaus of the Department of Agriculture who are not
now doing so.

In another column we publish a synopsis of the
annual appropriations requested by this Department
for its various bureaus, and we ask every reader who
is a progressive man — and we believe all of them
come under this classification — to read the articles
through carefully, because only in this way can he
obtain some idea of the magnitude of the operations
carried on under this Department.

The Bureau of Plant Industry requests a total of
$3,241,470 to carry on its work for the fiscal year be-
ginning July 1 next. Think of this immense sum
placed at the disposal of our own people just as much
as at that of the farmers and agriculturists of the
country ! Included in this amount are appropriations
for the investigation of plant diseases, the mainte-
nance of a plant disease survey, investigation of dis-
eases of orchard and other fruits, investigation of
diseases of ornamental trees and shrubs and forest
trees.

This year no appropriation has been provided for
the distribution of Congressional seeds. This probably
involves a fight on the floor of the House of Repre-
sentatives for its restoration. The Senate, of recent
years, has invariably voted it down. Now that we
have a Bureau of the Budget, it is barely possible
that free seeds may see their last distribution with
the Spring of 1923.

But $28,000 is provided for cultural tests on the
various edible nuts. Here is an industry which can
be increased one hundredfold, and which should have
better support.

There is also appropriated $20,000 for the purpose
of providing American sources of stock cuttings or
other propagating materials, while $79,440 is given
over to horticultural investigations, including in its
provisions the study of landscape and vegetable gar-
dening, floriculture and related subjects ; these ap-
propriations continue to run on and cover many sub-
jects of value to our people.

The Federal Horticultural Board is given an in-
crease of $200,640, while for the fiscal year of 1924 it
will have available funds of $306,490.

Explosion, Fire and Frost Wreck Growing
Establishment

Failure of Safety Device in Oil Burning Equipment
Causes $20,000 Loss to Long Island Florist

Having recently recorded the serious fire at George
Baldwin's orchid establishment, we all the more re-
gret to learn that early on the morning of Dec. 14, the
greater part of the growing establishment of John
H. Marsden, Lawrence, L. I., together with practically
his entire stock of plants was destroyed as the result
of a fire caused by an explosion in his oil-burning
heating plant. While the fire itself consumed only the
heating shed and parts of the greenhouses, the glass
in practically the entire plant was shattered by the
force of the explosion and the cold air quickly ruined
his splendid collection of stock. The total loss wili
probably exceed $20,000. and except for $4000 on the .
shed building and contents, there was no insurance —
again the result of the impossibility of securing satis-
factory rates on greenhouse property.

The five houses totally destroyed were each 100ft. x
25ft.. and held, respectively, Carnations, Snapdragons,
Ferns, Freesias and Sweet Peas. A sixth house. 235ft.
x40ft.. filled with Jarge palms and a general line of
decorative pot plants, Lilies, etc.. for Easter, was
shattered throughout a considerable portion of its
center section, and the cold air completed the plant
destruction. The ends of this house were uninjured
and Mr. Marsden quickly enclosed the damaged por-
tion with canvas and building paper, so that at pres-
ent he is able to maintain some heat there and look
after a few Carnation cuttings and remnants of the
stock that he managed to save.

According to Mr. Marsden, the fire was apparently
caused by the failure of a safety valve which forms
an important part of the oil-burning device employed
by him in heating his houses — a feature that is sup-
posed to make it unnecessary to keep a fireman on
the job all the time. The purpose of this valve is to
shut off the supply of oil when for any reason the
burner begins to flood. Apparently after he had left
the greenhouses about 11 o'clock Wednesday night,
this did not happen and the oversupply of oil began
to smolder and give off dense, gas-laden smoke, which
gradually sifted through practically the entire range.
About one o'clock a.m. a policeman, observing smoke
issuing from one of the houses, started to investigate,
but before he was able to enter, the gases burst into
flame almost simultaneously in all the houses, shat-
tering nearly all the glass and throwing it high into
the air. While prompt work on the part of the local
firemen soon extinguished the blaze, the frost had
already done its work, the outdoor temperature at the
time being 25 deg.

Mr. Marsden has already had greenhouse companies
at work on estimates for new buildings, but it will
probably be a year or more before his establishment
is in shape for him to resume his growing operations.

John Evans in England

J. Evans, Richmond, Ind., U. S. A., in an entertain-
ing talk to members of the British Carnation Society,
last week, said, "You do surely excel in growing Car-
nations. I appreciate the way you are growing and
raise my hat to British growers. We go very quick
in America; it takes you a longer time to do things,
but you do them better." Mr. Evans then went on
to speak of specialists and advised growers to special-
ize, to do a thing well in one line and make a name.
He instanced the success of specialists in Carnations,
Chrysanthemums. Violets, etc., and told about their
cultures in the States. — Horticultural Trade Journal.

Paul Stier

We regret to learn at this late date, of the death of
Paul Stier, during a temporary stay among relatives
in Berlin, on Nov. 28, at the age of 55 years. Mr. Stier
and his wife left for Europe on Sept. 14, intending,
after a brief stay in Germany, to spend the Winter
in the warmer climate of the Italian Riviera. His
death, we understand was brought about by a severe
chill, which aggravated the stomach trouble from
which he had been suffering.

Paul Stier was well known to many around New
York. He came from Germany some 28 years ago,
locating as a private gardener on Long Island for a
few years. He then opened up as a wholesale and re-

tail florist and grower at Bayonne, N. J., which busi-
ness he carried on for some 20 years. Failing health
prompted him to retire some two years ago and, dis-
posing of his business, he and his family removed
to Woodcliff Lake, one of the beauty spots of north-
ern New Jersey.

Beside his widow who may remain in southern
Europe over the Winter, Mr. Stier leaves two sons,
Frederick and Arthur and two daughters, Elsie and
Helen, all we believe engaged in business in New
York. w.

Bernard Eschner

His many friends in Philadelphia and the trade
generally were shocked to hear of the death of
Bernard Eschner, president of the M. Rice Co., 1220-
2-4 Spring Garden St., Philadelphia, which occurred
. 2 a.m. Monday, Dec. IS, due to pneumonia. Dec. 12
saw Mr. Eschner at the office as usual and when he
went home that night he was not feeling well. His
illness was brief.

The funeral was to be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday,
Dec. 20, from the late residence, Elkins Park. Mr.
Eschner was a member of Potter Masonic Lodge, the
Mercantile Club and Spring Garden Business Men's
Association. Members of the trade in the Middle
West will remember him since be covered that terri-
tory for some years for M. Rice Co., although he had
not been on the road since 1912. Mr. Eschner has
made several trips abroad and spent last Summer
traveling through the principal countries of Europe.
He was 62 years of age.

Bernard Eschner was six months old when brought
by his parents to America from Bohemia. All his life
he has been a resident of Philadelphia. He entered
the firm of M. Rice & Co. Jan. 1, 1S9S, then at 25 N.
4th st. and grew up with that concern as partner of
the late Moses Rice. After Mr. Rice's death in 1912,
the firm was incorporated with Mr. Eschner as presi-
dent and in that capacity controlled the destinies of
that company up to the time of his death.

During this period the M. Rice Co. outgrew their
quarters twice, moving first to 1220 Race st. and again
in 1916 to their present attractive building 1220-2-4
Spring Garden st. And the present season the new
quarters are again found to afford insufficient space
for the growing business. These facts speak for them-
selves as a tribute to Mr. Eschner's management.

The business of the firm will be carried on as here
tofore without interruption, under the management
of Vice-president Arthur Zirkman and Secretary Ray-
mond Brunswick.

Robert J. Shore

Robert J. Shore of Cornell University (Ithaca,
N. Y.) died Friday, Dec. S, of pneumonia, after an
illness of a week. Mr. Shore was bom at Castle
Comer in the north of Ireland, Dec. 23, 1845. His
father was gardener for J. W. Harper at Castle Comer
and, under his direction, Mr. Shore got his early
training. He came to America about 1S65 as gardener
on the Lienphal estate at Yonkers. In 1882 he came
to Ithaca as gardener for Jennie McGraw Fiske, and
after her death, two years later, he entered the em-
ploy of the University, booming official gardner in the
conservatory of the department of botany, a position
which he held until that department was given up
last July. From then until the time of his death, he
was in charge of the plants in the floriculture depart-
ment. He was a 32<1 Degree Mason and an active
member of the I. O. O. F.

He was devoted to his profession, and possessed a
keen discrimination of all plants and flowers. He was
remarkably well trained : he knew plants thoroughly,
and had an unusual ability in his cultivation of plants
to produce the best that was in them. He has sev-
eral times been mentioned as the most skillful grower
of orchids in the United States, and possessed a choice
collection of them himself. Ever faithful to his du-
ties, he worked once or twice during the last week of
his life, when his illness was already upon him. Mr.
Shore took extreme pride in the training he received
in his native country.

Mr. Shore possessed a host of friends ; he was hon-
ored and respected by all, and the influence of his
wonderfully fine character seemed to radiate from
him. Not only will his position as gardener be ex-
tremely hard to fill, but he will be greatly missed by
the university community at large. He was perhaps
most highly respected by his actual employers and
members of the faculty who had occasion to come
into frequent contact with him. As an example of
this sentiment L. H. Bailey, emeritus professo- of the
College of Agriculture, and former dean, h;'s said
concerning his death, "Mr. Shore was not only .>n ex-
tremely good gardener but a high type of man and
citizen as well. The university has lost a real pioLeer
of the institution, and to replace him will be a diSfc-
cult task indeed." E. A. White. '

Lily Bulb Production on the Pacific Coast

In your issue of Nov. IS, 1922, you print a note on
the growth of Lilium auratum in a garden of Ornii-
dale, Broderick, Isle of Arran, Scotland. It must
have been a gorgeous sight to see such a mass of this
magnificent Lily with 60 flowering stems and 42 flow-
ers to a stem.

The note reminded me of a fine cluster of this well-
known and popular Lily which I photographed some
years ago. It was my good fortune to visit Belling-
ham, Wash., in the Puget Sound region, early in the
month of September 1919, when I photographed the
beautiful cluster of Lilium auratum shown herewith.
The bulbs had remained undisturbed for a few years
and the results would indicate that this, the Golden
Rayed Lily of Japan, had found a congenial home in
this climatically favored section.

I also send two photographs, showing bulbs of Lil-
ium candidum, as grown in the same region. One
photograph, taken at La Connor. Wash., shows a
clump of 20 bulbs, measuring 34%in. across and only
five years of age. The other shows a three-year-old
bulb of the same Lily and its increase, grown on sod'
land, without fertilizer. The largest bulb measured
34 cent, in circumference. This clump was grown near
Eureka, Cal. Judging by these pictures it looks as
though someone should be able to develop a nice little
business in growing Lilies in that wonderfully favored
section of our great Northwest. Pbtee Bisset.

American Horticultural Society

Indications are that the newly-organized American
Horticultural Society of Washington, D. C, will be-
come the long-wished for national organization. At
the regular monthly meeting on Dec. 12, Prof. D.
Lumsden, secretary of the organization, presented a
detailed report on the membership of the society, and
his report was received very enthusiastically. More
than 200 regular members, and one life member are
now signed up, and the number is increasing daily.
Applications have been received from 17 States, and
one territory, and officers of other horticultural and
similar clubs throughout the country are writing in
their approval of the aims and character of the so-
ciety. While no affiliation has as yet been attempted,
letters rgarding this matter to the secretary indicate
that there will be many local organizations desiring
to affiliate when the opportunity offers. Secretary
Lumsden stated that the society has "gone over" in a
way far beyond the fondest hopes of the organizers,
and he hopes for a membership of 500 within a short
period.

In connection with membership, President A. F.
Woods, president of the Maryland State Agricultural
College, urged each member to constitute himself a
committee of one to get new members. While the
Executive Committee has several projects under con-
templation, both local and national in scope, nothing
can be accomplished until the society boasts a large
and active membership. Further remarks along this
line were offered by vice-president Louis Hertle, who
also outlined a definite plan for a membership cam-
paign. T. F. Pappe, second vice-president, suggested
that the first flower show undertaken by the organi-
zation, to take place probably in the Spring, be con-
ducted in cooperation with one of the local clubs.

One only committee report was presented in the
open meeting, the others either not reporting, or hav-
ing previously reported to the , secretary. The Com-
mittee on Communications and Resolutions presented
a report /of a testimonial which had been drawn up
in appreciation of the late Representative Mann, who,
in add* Jon to being a prominent political figure, was
an ac „ive amateur horticulturist. The testimonial was
read and approved by the society, and the secretary
~«8 authorized to transmit a copy to Mrs. Mann.

F. L. Atkins Speaks

That the American Horticultural Society had been
organized just in time, was brought out by F. L. At-
kins, of Bobbink & Atkins, Rutherford, N. J., the
speaker of the evening, who stated that he had knowl-
edge of proposals for a similar national organization
to be formed in New York, and had the formation of
the new society been deferred, it is highly probable
that the New York organization would have taken
its place. In connection with his lecture on "Interest-
ing Trees, Plants, Shrubs and Hardy Perennials,"
Mr. Atkins made a plea for the trees of the country,
stating that unless protective measures are under-
taken in the near future, many of our native growths
will disappear. Careless fires, lack of public interest,
and unregulated lumbering were given as some of the
causes . of our diminishing tree reserves, - and Mr.
Atkins urged that the American Horticultural So-
ciety do everything it could to awaken the public to
the situation. Touching on evergreens, Mr. Atkins
dealt principally with the ornamental features of this
class. Nearly 60 varieties of Pine, Hemlock, Larch,
Heather, Xew, Rhododendron, Holly, etc., were dis-
cussed, their general character, needs and planting
requirements being briefly taken up. Speaking of our
native Rhododendron, Mr. Atkins said, "No quaran-
tine is going to drive this highly desirable shrub off
the market. They are going to be here, they are going
to remain here, and we are not going to let anyone
drive them out. We are going to have real Rhododen-
drons and no quarantine or permits are needed, as
the shrub is here in this country." air. Atkins also

Lilium auratum several years established, in a garden at Belling-

ham. Wash. This clump of bulbs fronts a mass of strong

growing Roses and is without shrubbery protection which

Lilies appreciate in the East

championed the cause of the Pines, stating that there
is no foundation for the blind prejudice against them
at present, due in most cases to a vague fear of dis-
ease. The Pines are one of the most desirable varie-
ties for landscape work, he stated, and yet every kind
the nurserymen grows is in the discard. He urged
that they be taken up, as the only disease to watch
for is the blister rust. The trees are too beautiful to
be driven off the market without good cause.

Massachusetts Agricultural|College

The Winter School

' The Winter School at the Massachusetts Agricul-
tural College, Amherst, Mass., opens on Jan. 1, 1923,
and continues for a period of ten weeks. No tuition
fee is charged, but each student is required to pay a
registration fee of $5. Board may be obtained at the
college dining hall for approximately $7 per week
and rooms may be had in private houses at prices
ranging from $2.50 to $4 per week for each occupant.

Rooms for a limited number of Winter students are
available in the new women's dormitory.

This school is intended primarily for men and
women who can most conveniently leave their work
during the Winter months. Courses are offered deal-
ing with various phases of agriculture, horticulture,
and home life.

The course in floriculture is outlined primarily for
students who are interested in commercial floricul-
ture. Some of the subjects considered are: green-
house construction and heating, greenhouse manage-
ment, culture of the important commercial crops, and
floral arrangement. A portion of the course will be
devoted to a consideration of gardening and garden
flowers. Special trips are taken to study floricultural
establishments in the State. A series of lectures will
be given by men who are engaged in various phases
of floricultural work. Students taking this course
are required to take a course in soil fertility, and it
is recommended that they take courses in fruit grow-
ing and vegetable gardening.

Office or Prof. C. L. Thayer, Department of Floricul-
ture, M. A. O, Amherst, Mass.

Florists Course at Ohio University

Opening Jan. 2 and extending for nine weeks a spe-
cial course will be given by Ohio State University,
which will be adapted to young florists who have
found it impossible to attend college, but yet wish
to receive instruction in some of the fundamentals of
commercial plant culture of soils, greenhouse man-
agement, and the elements of landscape gardening.
This new venture offers a concentrated course to sat-
isfy a demand in the . State of Ohio. The course is
open to students of 16 years of age or over and is di-
vided into two terms of four weeks each. Jan. 29 to
Feb. 2 is the annual Farmers Week, during which
time there will be a number of lectures of interest
to students. The second term of the course opens Feb.
5 and extends until March 2.

The arrangement of the courses is as follows : First
Term. — Carnations and Chrysanthemums; Annuals of
the Garden ; Soil Management ; Greenhouse Manage-
ment.

Second Term. — Roses and Pot Plants; Perennials;
Limestone and Fertilizers ; Elementary Landscape
Gardening and Plant Materials.

One of the most interesting features of the course,
is a series of special lectures arranged especially as
a means of personally introducing the students to a°
number of the prominent agricultural writers and
investigators from this and adjoining States.

The approximate cost of the course as figured out
by the college authorities is $74, including room and
board, but full information relative to the course may
be obtained from T. G. Watson, secretary of the Col-
lege of Agriculture, Columbus, Ohio, or for particulars
relative to the work mentioned in the above courses,
correspond with Prof. A. C. Hottes, who will have
charge of the Winter courses.

Wife — Henry, the neighbors are complaining about you run-
ning the lawn mower at 6 o'clock in the morning. Hubby —
Which neighbors? Wife — Those that play the phonograph till
midnight.

First Taxi Driver — There ain't as many people killed now as
there used to be, it seems to me. Second Taxi Driver — No;
nearly everybody owns a car, and there ain't as many pedes-
trians.

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOL.GATHERER

The White Fly

A well known Rose grower expresses
his regret that Fritz Bahr's Commercial
Floriculture does not deal with the white
fly, which is becoming one of the worst
pests in the country. The work referred
to is not devoted to any insects or diseases
in particular, but there is no questioning
the tact that while the "bug" hunters have
been chasing Jap beetles, Corn borers and
the like, the white iiy has made the most
of its opportunities.

As has been reported on several occa-
sions, the white fly has also been playing
"hob ' in England, especially among the
Tomatoes; in fact, so serious had it be-
come that the Lea Valley Experiment Sta-
tion last year devoted much attention to
this pest, which rejoices under the name
of Aleurodes vaporiorum.

Persistent fumigation and nicotine
spraying combined will keep the pest
down, as will cyanide fumigating, but the
fact that white fly can and does live out-
doors in the Summer, and delights to re-
side among weeds that are permitted to
grow around greenhouses, makes it clear
that the grower cannot relax his vigilance.
It is somewhat of a coincidence, however,
that following the report of tlie station
referred to, at least three well-known
English houses came out this year with
a new white fly killer, and reference to
one of them was made on page 1341, May
27. These fluids kill by vapor alone, and
all one has to do is to pour a quarter
pint on a piece of cloth for each 1000 cu.
ft. and hang same in the house. Next
morning one can sweep up the dead car-
cases. The dose must ot course be repeated
until no more eggs remain to be hatched.
These fluids, at least the one made by
the X L All concern, are harmless to most
subjects, although it injures Chrysanthe-
mums and one or two other things, such
as Marguerites and Fuchsias. Geraniums,
Ferns and many other tender plants were
quite unaffected by the vapor, when tested
by the editor of- the Nurseryman and
Seedsman in his own greenhouse.

New Apple Weevil

Seemingly the British authorities don't
intend to follow the U. S. custom and
label it the German or French Apple
weevil; they propose to call it the "bud
weevil," without bothering their heads as
to where it originally came from. Its
scientific name is Anthonomua cinctus, and
it's just possible it's the 42d cousin of the
Californian white bud weevil, which is
very partial to Apple buds. Anyway,
weevils are all a heck of a nuisance, and
they call for something more than mere
talk.

The Japanese Beetle

From one of the Departmental Clip
Sheets I learn that serious injury to a
number of greens in a golf course at
Riverton, N. J., has been done by the
abundance of Japanese beetle larva?. The
greens are said to offer ideal facilities
for the beetles to lay their eggs, and the
effect of the heavy egg deposits will ne-
cessitate the rebuilding of the greens.

In choosing grass for laying its eggs,
the Jap beetle is only following the usual
custom of most beetles whose grubs carry
over in the soil, but why the powers
should see fit to send this news item
around to the newspapers is beyond me.
Maybe the golf "bugs will get after this
other bug in real earnest, and accomplish
something.

Berryless Holly

I note my Seattle confrere reports an
almost total absence of berries on the
English Holly, whereas, from other cen-
ters, come reports of the native Holly
being well berried.

Likely as not the weather upset the
fertilization of the Washington State
Holly, but it would be interesting to learn
which plant was at fault. The Holly, be-
ing a dioecious plant, bears its fruit-bear-
ing and pollen-bearing flowers on separate
plants.

The Boston Fern

The writer of the interesting and im-
portant series of articles on "What Do
We Know About Boston Ferns," and
shall I say the editor, too, forgot to look
up the back files of The Exchange before
declaring no such illustration as that on
page 1346, Nov. 18, had ever before been
published. A faint memory prompted me
to make a hunt, and on page 851, April
22, 1911, I found a picture of 15 distinct

forms of N. exaltata. While it lacks
the original wild Florida Sword Fern, it
shows the development of the Boston Fern
more clearly. The types shown embrace
N. exaltata, N. Fosteri, N. Piersoni, N.
Barrowsii, N. elegantissima, N. elegantis-
sima compacta, N. todeoides, N. amerpohli,
N. Whitmani, N. superbissima, N. mag-
uifica, N. Schozeli, N. lycopodoides, N.
Marshalli and N. Marshalli compacta.
This collection of fronds was displayed at
a London show, but since that time the
exhibitor, H. B. May & Sons, introduced
a selection from Marshalli, under the
name of Willmottas. So far as I have
seen, none of the other lacy types equal
Willmottae in its fineness of division.

The Dumb Cane

Not everyone apparently noted and re-
corded the fact that at the St. Louis
flower show recently, was exhibited an
example of' the Dumb Cane, Caladium
seguinum or Dieffenbachia seguine, but
apparently some newspaper man had his
attention drawn to it, and thereby made
up a little story which traveled all over
the country. Where tropical plants are
cultivated under glass, one might fre-
quently find this plant, and while attrac-
tive, its green and white spotted Canna
like foliage would never cause any great
commotion. To botanists it has long been

distinct from any other red seen in Cali-
fornia. Those who know him, give F. G.
C, credit for knowing Sweet Peas and
if things go well I anticipate settling
the question whether these new seedlings
are as good in the East as they are in
the West.

New Haven, Conn.

Our city today presents the most
beautiful and cheerful holiday aspect
that it has ever been our pleasure to be-
hold. Thousands of feet of roping of
Laurel and running Pine have been strung
along the principal streets suspended
from the trolley poles along the curb
line; laterals run to each store and
building forming a veritable bower of
green over the walks. The merchants
have done their part by elaborate and
expensive window displays which add
much to the general impression of hos-
pitality and welcome that greet the
stranger within our gates.

Not the least of these attractive win-
dow displays are those of the florists.
Poinsettias, red wreaths, tinsel flanked
by Holly and pot plants in great profu-
sion, create an appearance of massiveness
and plenty that cannot fail to suggest

Section of a house of 5000 Poinsettias grown at the Norwalk Greenhouses
(formerly R. G. Hanford's Floral Hall), Norwalk, Conn.

Reading from left to right: John Antty, who is in charge of the landscape and decorating
department, which is a feature of this firm; the proprietor, George Psyhojos; John Ford, who
has been employed here for over 33 vears; and the foreman, E. Messer, formerly of Jas. -Horan
& Son, Bridgeport, who is responsible for the success of this Poinsettia house. A goodly
number of florists throughout the State have visited these greenhouses and have declared
the Poinsettias to be the finest they have ever seen anywhere. In the Spring the Norwalk
Greenhouses intend to enlarge their growing capacity in order to meet their ever increasing
demand for cut flowers and potted plants

known as the Dumb Plant, and Bailey
mentions that those who chew it some-
times lose the power of speech for several
days. Of course, the newspapers figure
it is just the plant the world has been
looking for to relieve suffering humanity.
But it isn't only "talk" that we want
relief from. Some in the trade would
like to know whether the Dumb Plant will
paralize the brains and hands of those
who sit and formulate and pen orders,
quarantines and news items which benefit
few and hinder many.

A Horrible Collection

The man in the street is apt to squirm
and scoff when he hears the gardening
person reeling off botanical names, but
what about those relating to fungi?

Before me is an ad relating to two new
British volumes. One has a simple title,
"Fungi," with a subtitle, "Ascomycetes,
Ustilaginales, Uredinales. The other is
"British BasidiomycetaB." Great Scott!
Some folks have no little respect of the
British lion and the bulldog, but imagine
being warned of the British Basidio-
mycetae. I know a label manufacturer
who cast a special label to order, "Beware
of the Lycopodium," its purpose being
to scare off undesirable visitors, but this
Basi-what-you-may-call-it is the limit.

New California Sweet Peas

From my friend, Frank G. Cuthbert-
son, of C. C. Morse & Co., San Fran-
cisco, Cal., I learn they expect to dis-
tribute three particularly fine Sweet
Pea novelties next year. They are as
yet without definite names, being known
at present as Duplex Rose Pink on
Cream, an extra frilled seedling; New
Dainty Spencer, which bears flowers twice
the size of the old Dainty Spencer, and
New Crimson, a clear blood crimson and

to Christmas shoppers the suitability of
a flowering plant as a gift to a friend.
There ' is, of course some criticism
about the amount of money spent for all
this elaboration; that the money had bet-
ter have been given to the poor, etc., but
I cannot agree with this viewpoint. It
is doubtful whether anyone enjoys the
decorations more than these same socalled
poor people, judging from the exclama-
tions of pleasure heard on every hand.
Another thing, we have just contributed
$600,000 for the unfortunate of our city
so they are all provided for. Some people
cannot see anything beautiful in this
world except the dollar sign, but they
are not the ones who make life worth
living.*

Wishing all a Happy and Prosperous
New Year.

Bangor, Me.

Christmas business is getting a good
start, orders being booked for delivery of
plants and cut flowers for the latter part
of the week.

As everywhere else, cut flowers are go-
ing to be high and hard to get. Market
quotations from Boston are quoting Car-
nations at an average of $16 per 100,
wherein last week the same Carnations
with a few going at $10. Roses are
listed at $12 on the average, with some
at $16 per 100 for 9in. stems, stand-
ard varieties, while 21in. stems of
the same varieties were quoted at $60.

Cleveland Cherry plants are selling for
75c. to $2.50 each; Cyclamen average
$1.50 to $5 each, according to size;
Chatelaine Begonias, 75c. to $2; Primulas

$1 and $1.50. Ferns are also selling
well. Wreaths are in good demand. Hun-
dreds of Christmas trees are being sold
at 50c. each. Every year there are many
carloads of Christmas trees shipped out
of the State to the large cities.

Freese's Department Store, the larg-
est in the city, was partially destroyed
by fire Sunday night, the damage being
about $250,000 according to estimate.
The fire raged into the short hours of
the night. Mr. Freese always spends
many dollars at Christmas time for dec-
orations, his stole being located on the
Main street of the city. This year the
city will be without this beautiful dis-
play, which adds much cheer to the holi-
day crowds while doing their Christmas
shopping. During the Winter months
this department store has handled many
hundreds of potted plants from the green-
houses of G. S. Seavey & Son.

Houlton, Maine, reported its first heavy
snowfall of the season Thursday, Dec.
14. We did not have any snow here in
Bangor at that time, Houlton being about
130 miles north of Bangor. However,
Dec. 17 we got a snowstorm that made
us realize that Winter was here in
earnest. Today dawned fair and warm,
and tonight all indications are for a good
Christmas week.

Note in an article recently published
in The Exchange that Ford cars in
Germany can do 70 miles an hour. I have
the reputation of being a reckless driver
with a Lizzie, but the best I can turn up
is 45 miles per hour and keep the ma-
chine in the road. H. E. Seavey.

Westchester (N. Y.) and Fairfield
(Conn.) Hort. Society

The annual meeting of this society was
held in the Y. M. C. A. Hall, Greenwich,
Conn., Tuesday, Dec. 12, Pres. J. Tough
being in the chair. The meeting was
called to order at 7.30 sharp, and re-
ports were presented by Treas. J. Stuart
and Sec'y G. Hewitt. Officers for 1923
were elected as follows: President, J.
Rutherford; vice-president, E. Beckitt;
sec'y, T. J. Bulpitt; executive committee,
C. Aitchison, W. D. Robinson, J. Kierns,
C. Steele.

There was a fair attendance and some
very good exhibits of flowers and vege-
tables. First prize for flowers was
awarded to W. D. Robinson for Columbia
Roses; second to W. Smith for Carna-
tion Princess Dagmar; third to J. Tough
for Lilium rubrum. For vegetables: First
prize and cultural certificate were award-
ed to W. Sealey.

A committee was elected to make ar-
rangements for the society's annual din-
ner, and discussions also took place. Treas.
J. Stuart made some fine suggestions for
the advancement of the society and hor-
ticulture. T. J. Bulpitt, Cor. Sec'y.

New Roses

It would appear that 1923 is going to
be particularly rich in new Roses; in-
deed, it almost looks as if our breeders
of forcing Roses are becoming as active
as European raisers are with outdoor
varieties. For a year or more we have
had ample opportunity of learning about
and seeing Hill's America (E. G. Hill,
Richmond, Ind.) ; it is familiar to almost
everyone. Then the new Commonwealth,
which has been well shown by A. N. Pier-
son, Inc., Cromwell, Conn., during the
past two months, is also making a good
bid for position among pink shades. Armie
Laurie, from the Frank Stuppy Co., St.
Joseph, Mo., has been shown many times
in the South and West and if it meas-
ures up to the same high standard in
the East, it will oust both Mme. But-
terfly and Ophelia, because of its extra
fullness.

Amelia Gude from Fred H. Lemon &
Co., Richmond, Ind., also has been shown
on numerous occasions and, according to
those familiar with it, it is much su-
perior to Sunburst for color and well
ahead of Mrs. Ward for size. A really
good yellow Rose has long been awaited
and with the advent of this novelty and
the French Souv. de Claudius Pernet our
desires may, perhaps, be filled. Under
glass, the yellow shade is a most fugitive
one, more so than outdoors. This char-
acteristic is, we think, largely influenced
by soils and in a general way it is only
those possessing, or who can obtain real
Rose soil, who get good color in yellow
Roses.

The Florists Exchange

Montreal, Que.

Club Meeting

At the monthly meeting of the
Montreal Gardeners! and Florists Club,
held Wednesday, Dec. 13, with a good at-
tendance of members present, the question
of the Whorley Fire Fund was mooted
by James McKenna. Mr. Whorley the
Ontario grower, was burned out some
time ago, with very little insurance. The
fund has reached about $300. Mr. Mc-
Kenna asked if club funds would warrant
a grant to this worthy object. On motion,
this question was referred to a committee
as to ways and means of helping.

Mr. Wilshire of Wilshire Bros, referred
to the death of J. Holiday, a former mem-
ber of the club, and also of Jos. Bennett's
son-in-law, Mr. Spears. A vote of con-
dolence was passed.

The financial statement of the annual
dinner and dance was presented by E. J.
Hayward, who said the venture was a
success. T. Hill spoke in warm terms of
the help of Mesdames' E. J. Hayward,
Hall, Scott and Miller, who bought and
provided the good and appetizing viands,
and to their material help in making the
annual dinner so successful. A letter is
to be forwarded to each lady as an ap-
preciation for their valuable help.

The election of officers resulted as fol-
lows: T. Hill, president; E. Home, first
vice-president; W. Ward, second vice-
president; W. H. Horbin, secretary-
treasurer; J. J. Trevis, assitant secretary.
Messrs. G. Pascoe, Fred Harris, T. Barnes,
G. Pidduck, B. Carmiecal and Collier
serve as executive committee.

G. Beed of Hall & Robinson, regd., was
proposed as a member. Mr. Collier was
duly elected.

Christmas Prospects

The store windows of the florists
are gay with plants. Some fine Azaleas,
Orange Trees and other plants are an at-
tractive feature. Holly with a profusion
of natural berries has arrived, the best we
have had for years. Cut stock is arriving
in limited quantities, with good demand.
Altogether, prospects are bright.

News Notes

F. K. Prouse has opened a new
flower shop at 9 Bloor st., West. It is
an attractive shop, fully equipped, and
finished in ivory.

T. H. P. Hammett, 330 Main St., has
things at his greenhouses in good shape
for Christmas. It looks to him like a
plant Christmas and he has a good sup-
ply of Primulas and Cyclamen. He is
trying out oil burning, but is not pre-
pared to say anything yet as to the re-
sults. Hammett & Harris are members
of the F. T. D. and have a retail store
at 1379 Danforth ave.

S. E. Grove, 298 Danforth ave., have
been busy. The building up of the Dan-
forth district has helped trade consid-
erably. Judging by inquiries this year's
Christmas business will exceed that of
last year in this district.

J. A. Neal has had a number of wed-
ding decorations and orders for many
designs recently. There appears to be
many weddings this month and June
doesn't appear to have a monopoly on
them any more. Mr. Neal has built up
a big F. T. D. business, necessitating
special forms to tabulate the informa-
tion and form a permanent record. The
forms are in two colors, one for incom-
ing and one for outgoing, and they give
full information as to the time of re-
ceipt of order with particulars as to its
fulfillment, as well as names of persons
giving and receiving the order.

J. J. Higgins reports that many stores
are being decorated with flowers, ferns
and palms for Christmas. This class
of business is on the increase. Artificial
wreaths are selling well. * * * J. S. Sim-
mons states that prospects are bright
for a good Christmas trade. Business has
been steady all along.

Royal Roses, grown by J. H. Dunlop
at Richmond Hill, were presented to
those taking part in the Toronto Follies
at Loew's Theatre this week. A film was
taken showing the young ladies with the
flowers. Dunlop's, Ltd., had a fine dis-
play of oriental candle baskets made up
by G. M. Geraghty. There was a limited
quantity and they were quickly sold.

Cut Flower Embargo — Sales Tax

Christmas Stock

The Cut Flower Embargo

The Canadian Department of Entomology has recently testified to its interest
in the Canadian Department of The Florists Exchange, and calls attention to
the fact that exports of flowers to the United States are in no way completely
prohibited on account of the European Corn borer. The facts of the quarantine
may be of interest to florists. It was established in the Summer of 1921 with a
view to checking the spread of the borer and the Department claims that it has
endeavored to give full publicity to the matter, so that both general dealers and
the public might know that any cut flowers may be shipped across the border,
provided they are accompanied by an inspection certificate. This regulation
applies only to some annuals, Gladioli, Dahlias and Chrysanthemums. It is in-
teresting to note that about one thousand certificates have been issued during
the past season for shipments of this character. It is of course plainly evident
that the inspection of cut flowers as a commercial proposition is practically
impossible, but it is equally interesting to note that there appears to be a free
passage for all other flowers. This is not generally understood, and it may be
that this note will supply the information. If in any quarter there has been
difficulty, the Department of Entomology would be glad to know of it. Wliere it
is necessary to secure a certificate of inspection the plan is simple. Forms for
the purpose are provided, all that is necessary being a little notice to ensure the
attendance of the inspector when shipment is ready for packing. The matter pre-
sents some difficulties, yet it is really worth while to cooperate for the purpose
of ridding the border States and Provinces of the borer.

The Sales Tax

Still another circular has been issued by the Department of Excise on tie
question of sales tax, the interpretation of which is hitting Canadian florists
unfairly. Rulings given, are, in some cases, a little clearer, in others they make
confusion more confounded. Affecting imports, it is now quite clear that all
bulbs bear a tax of 6 per cent if the bulbs are to be resold, this amount being
divided between the importer and the retailer if desired. Florists who have a
license, pay 3% per cent on receipt of bulbs and charge a further 4% per cent
on the flowers when sold. For the benefit of importers it is now clearly defined
that nursery stock (which is exempt from tax) includes herbaceous perennials
not otherwise provided for. A number of articles, including dormant roots, are
defined as florist stock for tariff purposes and until the present ruling — wtoich
is but logical — was given out. a tax of 6 per cent was imposed. The relief means
several thousand dollars a year to the importers of this kind of stock. Yet an-
other request is made to United States shippers to be careful in invoicing. It
saves endless trouble and difficulty if the shipment is clearly defined. Further,
it saves much delay if the invoices are mailed ahead of the shipment. This pre-
caution is certainly due to a buying country if its business is worth having. It
may be interesting to say that the yearly value of this class of importations
which really covers all bulbs and plants exclusive of nursery stock is nearly
three-quarters of a million dollars. With the exception of Holland, the United
States is the largest exporter of all the countries shipping this kind of stock to
Canada.

Christmas Prospects

By the time these notes are read, Christmas business in Canada will be at
its height. Prospects generally are good and stock appears to be sufficient to
meet all demands, though cut flowers may be at a premium. Dales of Brampton
have their usual line of flowers, all of first quality : Roses, Liliums, Valley,
Orchids, for which the firm is specially noted ; Violets and Marguerites. They are
unable to completely fill all orders being sent in. Miller & Sons, Toronto, have
10,000 Mme. Petrick Azaleas in good shape. The firm is also offering Roses,
'Mums and Carnations, reporting a good demand quite equal to previous years.
C. Grobba, Mimico, is showing a quantity of first-class Cyclamen and Azaleas.
The Azaleas seen recently were in full bloom and are rapidly being picked up.
This firm is also strong on ferns and early bulbs. Ofields, Grimsby, grow chiefly
Roses, which are now in the pink of condition. They advise that the stock will
all be taken. J. H. Dunlop, Richmond Hill, is a Rose grower through and
through. He has some of the new Royal, also a quantity of Premier, and P. W.
Dunlop, as well as the other standard varieties. In this district H. J. Mills,
Bedford Park Floral Co. and Ofield & Cotton, all of whom grow Roses chiefly,
are preparing for a great demand which they hope to be able to meet. T. A. Ivey
& Sons, Port Dover, is another firm of Rose growers, with other stock, all of
which is looking in fine condition? Gammage of London offers a quantity of plant
stock, making a special display of madeup baskets and pans. The firm handles a
quantity of these wholesale, shipping them to quite distant points. The St. Catha-
rines growers are very optimistic, and feel sure of a clearance of stock. The
representative growers of the West, A. M. Terrill Co., Calgary, are supplying a
large district with a varied line of cut and plant stock. Conditions are quite up
to previous years and optimism is the note sounded.

Grobba's third annual Christmas tradeFIorists Club Meeting

show was a big success. The Toronto flo-
rists attended in large numbers and in-
spected the great quantities of Azaleas,
Cyclamen, palms and ferns. Though Mr.
Grobba provided on a larger scale than
ever, his stock is practically all sold. Tea
was served by Mrs. Grobba and there
was music during the afternoon.

Some cut flowers are fairly plentiful,
including Mignonette, Columbia, Sun-
burst, Ophelia and Sweetheart Roses, but
Carnations, Sweet Peas, Lilies, Orchids,
Violets, Valley and 'Mums and American
Beauty Roses are scarce.

The regular meeting of the Toronto
Retail Florists Club was held in their
club rooms on Dec. 11 with President
G. M. Geraghty in the chair. Christmas
advertising was discussed and it was de-
cided to use the two weekly papers on
Dec. 16 and the four daily papers on
Dec. 20.

A vote of thanks was passed, thanking
the growers for contributing to the suc-
cess of their booth at the Royal Flower
Show. It was also decided to write John
Young, secretary of the S. A. F. and O.

H. inviting them to hold the National
Flower Show in Toronto in 1924.

E. G. Hill of Richmond, Ind., attended
the Royal Flower Show and stated that
the Coliseum was one of the most suit-
able buildings to stage a flower show he
had seen. In the center is a large arena
where groups can be staged. Surround-
ing this, East and West are two wide
wings admirably suited for trade exhib-
its, booths already being permanently
built there. Immediately West is a large
two story Coliseum where the1 Royal
Flower Show was held. On the second
floor at the South is a restaurant cap-
able of providing for several thousand
people. The Arena and Coliseum are
easily reached by street car, being only
15 minutes' ride from the center of the
city. There is accommodation for thou-
sands of motor cars. Back of the invi-
tation is the hospitality o£ , the Toronto
Retail Florists Club, who will make vis-
itors to the city of Toronto feel quite at
home.

There was a discussion on the excel-
lence of the service given by telegraph
and cable companies in connection with
F. T. D. business. Many gave examples
of the promptness with which deliveries
had been made and it was evident that
there is the closest cooperation among
F. T. D. members, the telegraph and
cable companies.

At the conclusion of the business ses-
sion, progressive euchre was enjoyed, the
monthly prizes being won by Mrs. Harry
James and Wallace Clark. Refreshments
then were served by Miss Mearns and
her committee. G. C. K.

Dominion News

At the regular monthly meeting of the
Hamilton Horticultural Society held on
Dec. 11, the speaker of the evening, Henry
J. Moore of Toronto, was presented with
a set of Britton and Brown's "Illustrated
Flora of the Northern United States and
Canada," as a token of the esteem in
which his work on their behalf is held
by the directors of the society. The pre-
sentation was made by Dr. Douglas G.
Storms, president of the Hamilton Horti-
cultural Society.

The officers elected for the Western
Ontario F. T. D. section are W. E.
Groves, Hamilton, chairman, and F. G.
Dicks, London, secretary.

W. E. Groves recently addressed the
Brantford Kiwanis Club on "Say it with
Flowers — How and When." Mr. Groves
has given addresses on this subject on
various occasions and it grows in inter-
est and popularity with each telling.

The John Connon Co., Hamilton, have
closed their old greenhouse there, con-
centrating their work at their nurseries
at Stoney Creek, Ont.

Ofield Florist, opened her new store
on Monday, Dec. 11, with a fine display
of cut flowers and flowering plants. The
store is located at 113 King St., East,
Hamilton, in the heart of the shopping
district and was well patronized during
the day. The store has been finished in
ivory. Along the arcade leading to the
Spectator offices are large windows with
mirrors on the opposite side of the Ar-
cade. All visitors to the newspaper of-
fices therefore, get a full view of the
store. This store is owned by Miss E.
Ofield, of Grimsby, Ont., where she has
a range of about 35,000 sq. ft. of glass.
Miss Ofield comes of a flower loving fam-
ily, one brother having a large range at
Richmond Hill and another at Grimsby
near her own. Miss Ofield has been spe-
cializing in Roses and will have a big
cut of Russell, Columbia, Premier, But-
terfly, Ophelia, Hoosier Beauty and Sun-
burst for Christmas. She hopes to have
close to 10,000 blooms. In future she
will grow some general stock which will
be used to supplement the stock carried
at the retail store.

The Rosary Flower Co., Medicine Hat,
is erecting three new greenhouses and
with this addition will have over six
acres under glass. This will make it one
of the largest flower growing plants in
Canada.

The Market

Dec. 18. — All flower stock was
rather shy last week; plenty for all the
demand, how-ever, as there is always a
lull in business just previous to the big
rush. Advance orders are coming in
fairly well for cut flowers, with lots of
plant reservations. The usual big sup-
ply of fancy Boses are promised by the
growers. It is predicted that Carna-
tions will be very shy; orchids, hardly
enough to go around; Violets uncertain
and the supply of Snapdragon will be
limited. Plenty of cut Poinsettia, while
Stevia, Narcissi and Sweet Peas are
promised in abundance. Asparagus,
Smilax, ferns and all green goods will
be plentiful. The prices listed this
week are quotations prevailing from Dec.
20 to Dec. 25, inclusive.

News Notes

"Just about the finest lot of fancy
plant baskets and general Christmas
stock we have ever had," said Harry
Beard, manager for Isaac H. Moss., Inc.,
"and we are booking the orders." Mr.
Moss grows so many Poinsettias that it is
almost a specialty with him and they are
up to the mark this season. All other
blooming plants are well done, and the
assortment of palms, ferns, Pandanus,
Dracaenas, Cyclamen, Primulas, Oranges,
Cypripediums and Lilies will undoubtedly
find a ready sale during the holidays.

Wm. F. Ekas had a big crowd Monday
afternoon and evening attending the show
of Christmas plants.

All the flower store windows are aglow
with color and artistic effort, more so
than ever before, and advance orders are
reported heavier than last season.

Michael Hilper is showing a fine grade
of Cyclamen plants at the Baltimore
Wholesale Florists and Supply Co.

George M. Cook of Glen ave., Arling-
ton, has some exhibition pans of Nar-
cissus Grand Soleil d'Or for Christmas.
The stock is the finest we have seen and
finds a ready sale at William F. Ekas.

Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. Eberle are receiv-
ing congratulations — a great big boy — and
George says he is working a whole heap
happier this Christmas. He reports
business booming.

T. Walter Gray has a big cut of Paper-
white Narcissus and the Primula plants
are in great shape.

James Hamilton has a wonder crop of
Roses and Poinsettias for the holidays.
Looks like the Squire will be in the Lily

game at Easter, too. He has potted up
thousands of giganteums and a big lot
of that new one called Eraba; for size
of bulbs and plumpness, we have never
seen the like of the latter.

The Kress boys sent us a beautiful
Christmas card. It's clever and well
worded "with sentiment.

Robert L. Graham has been taxed to
the utmost the past two weeks. The little
Fleurette has been a wonderful factor in
this new business, and he has had many
requests from customers for extra copies
to give to friends.

A. J. Hilscher is handling a lot of
fancy Christmas plants this year; viz.,
Cyclamen, Dracamas, Otaheite Oranges,
Pandanus, Ferns and Primulas in addi-
tion to the regular Christmas designs and
stock. Mrs. Hilscher has been on the
sick list, but is now entirely recovered.

Herman Cook arrived home from Mi-
ami, Fla., on Wednesday last. He left
his father improving rapidly.

Sieck & Gliek report many advance
shipping orders. They will be strong on
Roses and Poinsettias this year, with
plenty of other fancy stock, too.

R. H.

a fine lot and find the sale of Cycla-
men, Begonias, Heathers and Poinsettias
excellent. While the sale of cut flowers
in boxes and pot plants is heavy, there
is also a good demand for pans and for
baskets at prices ranging from $3 and
$4 up to $25 and $30. Prices are about
the same as last year and we have not
experienced very much complaining on
the part of our customers on that score.
The people are getting good stock and
they expect to pay accordingly."

Just as soon as the holiday business
is over, attention will be given to the
forthcoming election of officers of the
Florists Club of Washington. Nomina-
tions will be made at the meeting which
is scheduled for early in January, the
election occurring in February and in-
stallation in March. It is said that there
is some likelihood of a contest for several
of the offices.

The local banks early in the month
made a distribution of between 14 and
15 million dollars under what is known
as Christmas Savings' Funds. The par-
ticipants in this distribution are people
who have made periodic deposits through-
out the year in anticipation of holiday

Trade Notes

Retail orders were placed with the
local florists earlier this year for Christ-
mas delivery than ever before, giving the
storekeepers a good idea of their actual
needs and permitting them to purchase
stock accordingly, William F. Gude de-
clares. In former years the business did
not begin to show up until a day or
two before Christmas, but this year the
order clerks are busy with their pads re-
cording the requirements of the custom-
ers early this week.

"Of course," says Mr. Gude, "It may
be that we are going to do a bigger
business than we now look forward to
but in any event, I am sure that the
books will show a heavier volume than
last year. There has been a big shop
early campaign in Washington and that
has apparently been effective. The early
placing of retail orders gives us a bet-
ter chance to give each the best of care
and we are not swamped at the last
moment. Further, the customer is bet-
ter pleased and less apt to be disappoint-
ed. Orders from out of town customers
are running very heavy and the F. T.
D. business is big. Few orders are for
less than $5 and they run up to $20 and
$25, with higher figures on specials.
For instance, American Beauty Roses are
selling at as high as $36 per doz. The
big demand is for Roses. There is a
scarcity of stock of all kinds, but what
is obtainable is, on the whole, very good.
We have some excellent Carnations, in-
cluding our own Democracy; these latter
sell easily at $5 per doz. Our American
Beauty Roses are in fine demand and in
view of the general shortage of stock, I
have every reason to anticipate a com-
plete closing out of our available stock
before the holiday comes. We are heavily
booked on these.

"There is an excellent demand for pot
plants and I am told that the whole-
salers have sold out their entire offerings
in advance. We were fortunate in having

present-buying needs. It is! estimated
that a large portion of this money found
its way almost immediately into the
channels of trade and that the florists,
in common with other merchants, were
greatly benefited. In any event it helped
start the ball rolling for the early place-
ment of orders for all kinds of merchan-
dise. C. L. L.

Columbus, Ga.

The Rose Hill Greenhouses have joined
the F. T. D., there now being three
members here. They will add landscape
work to the business and expect to be
actively employed. The new Begonia,
Pride of Rosemont, is their best seller,
and all others will be discarded. They
have a fine lot of Poinsettias and stock
looks unusually good. W. C. Cook.

Lancaster, Pa.

Trade Notes

Trade is very satisfactory and
many of the stores have had to work
overtime the past week. It would be hard
to say just which particular end of the
business was the best as at this season
of the year, both artificial and preserved
flowers find many buyers who would not
be satisfied with these any time but
during the Christmas holidays.

All spare time is put into the making
of wreaths and baskets for Christmas
and extra help is being engaged all around.
It looks as if the retail shops had all
adopted the "Cone" system and kept re-
peating each morning as they arise, "Trade
is going to be extra good" until they
have said it twenty times and then they
get down and hustle until way after bed-
time.

Mrs. Ida Goldbach has, up to date, the
finest Christmas window in the city.

The prospects with growers are not
quite as good, as we are having gray, No-
vember weather but in spite of it, the
cut is not going to be much, if any be-
low that of former seasons. The bright
weather of November (the two months
having reversed themselves) put the stock
into good active working condition and
it takes more than a few weeks of bad
weather to show serious results.

Coal prices are stiffening up for the
Winter and there is little prospect for
reduced operating expenses, so that prices
cannot be reduced to any appreciable ex-
tent without resulting in a loss to the
grower, instead of the immense profits
sometimes attributed to this end of the
business.

News Items

The Richardson Bros, made a fly-
ing trip to Lancaster County to visit the
principal Carnation growers. * * * Mr.
Bader of Holland, is making his thir-
teenth annual trip selling bulbs and finds
that thirteen is no "hoodoo" with twelve
years of satisfactory service behind it.

^ The principal visitor of the week was
E. J. McCallum of Pittsburgh, who
came to give us a talk at the Florists
Club Thjursday. He arrived Tuesday
and spent his time with that prince of
entertainers, Harry K. Rohrer, who
showed him all the best floral spots in
Lancaster and Lancaster County. Thurs-
day night after the club meeting, the
writer entertained him for an hour at
the Shrine Club where we had our quar-
terly social session and, for the balance
of the evening, with the Elks, who were
holding "stag night," so we tried to reim-
burse him in our poor way for the de-
lightful talk he gave us.

Harry K. Rohrer was recently appointed
a member of the Lancaster Township
School Board, and we who know him also
know that a better appointment could
not have been made.

Lancaster County Florists Association

The 120th regular meeting of the
club was held at Stevens' house in the
form of a dinner meeting and the Pink
Room was filled from end to end. Albert
M. Herr reported on the work of the
drive for State College, asking the flo-
rists to contribute whatever they decide,
through the club. The following officers
for 1923 were nominated: For president,
Harry K. Rohrer; for vice-pfresident,
Ira K. Landis; for secretary, Albert M.
Herr; for treasurer, Lemon Landis. The
treasurer reported an investment of $800
and a small cash balance in bank.

The tables were decorated with trimmed
Christmas trees from the farm of our
treasurer, Lemon Landis, and the trim-
ming was done by our president, Harry
K. Rchrer. There were fourteen of
these which were given to the lucky ladies
■ whose names were drawn, namely Mrs.
Lemon Landis, Miss Mary Rohrer, Mrs.
John Moore, Miss Susan J. Huber, Miss
Edith Diffenbaugh, Mrs. A. G. Bradel,
Mrs. A. M. Herr, Miss Irene Shue, Mrs.
J. Wade Galey, Miss Alice L. Weaver,
Mrs. Edgar Herr, Mrs. A. K. Rohrer,
Mrs. Ida Goldbach and Mrs. B. F. Barr.

President Rohrer introduced E. J. Mc-
Callum of Pittsburgh who gave a "trav-
elogue" lecture on his recent trip to
Europe and every one present pronounced
it the most entertaining talk we have had
for many a year. Unfortunately, the
writer had another meeting the same night
and could not stay for the talk, but from
hearsay, Mr. McCallum did not confine
himself to the florists end of his ex-
periences, but made every one feel that
America was the place to live and that
Lancaster was not to be matched by many
cities of its size in America. A unani-
mous vote of thanks was extended Mr.
McCallum for his talk i and to Mr.
Landis and Mr. Rohrer for the Christmas
trees.

Elmer Weaver invited the club to meet
at their place for the January meeting,
but after discussion it was decided to
meet at the Stevens House with a 6 p.m.
dinner, on account of the danger of in-
clement weather during the months of
January and February. The guests of
the Stevens' House are still wondering
what happened when they saw fourteen
women going out through the corridors
carrying trimmed Christmas trees.

RETAIL DEPARTMENT

What Kind of Collection Letters Do You Write?

By CLARENCE T. HUBBARD

PERSUADING the payment of bills by mail is an
art unto itself. We nave collection letters to the
right of us, collection letters to the left, and in
fact, like the versified story of the Light Brigade, we
are entirely surrounded, so to speak, with Collection
Cannonades.

It is easy to send out a collection letter, but not so
easy to send one that will produce the right kind of
results. Seldom can one letter prove effective for your
entire list of delinquents. It takes different sorts of
letters to pull cheques from different sorts of people.

Some folks can be humored into paying their bills.
Others can be sold to response. A few require threat.
But nearly all are susceptible to reasoning. And few
collection letters do this.

The majority of collection letters merely ask for a
remittance. Some beg. Only a few reason.
It takes reasoning to create sales. By the
same token you can win cheques.

Several letters are sometimes needed and
again all bills cannot be collected through
the mails. The plan of collecting bills by
mail resolves down to a matter of judg-
ment on the, part of the collector.

As to the kind of letters, the collection
letter largely in use and which merely asks
for the money is along the following type :
Dear Sir :

According to our books there is an
amount due from you of $27.64. May
we have a cheque in due time in ac-
cordance with our credit terms of 60
days?

Trusting you can see your way clear
to so accommodate us, we remain,

Yours truly,
There is a lack of visualization of the
customer's interests in the above letter. It
contains nothing that will inspire action,
and its only value exists as a reminder —
and a reminder is not always sufficient to
produce action.

Even a formal letter can contain persua-
sive features and for the purpose of illus-
tration, one is quoted as following :
Dear Sir :

Just to remind you in good thought
that vou have on our books a debit bal-
ance of $22.50.

You can send us a cheque, using the
envelope enclosed, or pay this in the
manner most convenient to yourself.

Your account is not giving us any
concern. We send this as a matter of
business practice, believing you will
appreciate our motive.

Cooperatively yours,
There is nothing negative in the collection letter
just quoted. It suggests action and reasons in favor
of the customer through the presentation of positive
suggestions. It is really a constructive appeal that
imparts good thought.

Most florists bill out notices and then when the re-
sponse is tardy, follow up the bill with collection let-
ters. Many of these "follow-up" letter lack sales or
advertising qualities. A collection letter can be diplo-
matic and yet firm. Too many collection letters are
of a negative appeal, like the following :
Dear Sir :

Enclosed find duplicate of notice sent you on
June 28.

Having in mind this might not have been re-
ceived, or possibly mislaid, we send herewith
another.

Your attention to this bill will be greatly appre-
ciated.

Trusting this is in order, we remain,
Yours truly,
This written appeal does not display any certainty
on behalf of its sender. It is in no way definite nor
constructive. Its very negative qualities prevent it
from being receptive to the customer and no action
whatever is inspired. Yet this kind of collection let-
ter is in common use. A better letter follows :
Dear Sir:

Enclosed there is a duplicate copy of the ac-
count we sent you July 28.

I know you would not expect us to carry this
along without calling it to your attention, which
is done at this time entirely in good spirit and

only with the thought of presenting for your con-
sideration the original date of the sale, having
in mind that you may not have realized the flight
of time, whereas we have to watch every day
and make it count. If we don't, our bankers soon
remind us !

You understand, don't you?
It was a real pleasure to have the privilege of
filling your order, and I hope we may have many
pleasant future relations.

Respectfully yours,
The above letter reasons with the customer and
makes him sense his responsibility and in a courteous
manner.

Past due items call for more carefully prepared let-
ters, for such amounts are seldom found held up on

your account is sent in the interests of persuad-
ing your response at this time so that we may
carry on the transactions of our business in a
good, systematic manner, all of which is in favor
of our customers.

I have every confidence in your willingness to
meet our wishes by early mail in the belief that
this is fully in order under the heading of Good
Business.

Sincerely,

Much has been said for and against the use of
humor in collection letters, but the fact still remains
that a "smile" often achieves the same victory as did
the Sun in the fable of the Sun and the Wind, where
his Majesty, the Sun, caused the Wayfarer to remove
his coat through gentle means, though the Wind, with
great force, failed. A semi-humorous collection ap-
peal follows which can. on many occasions, represent
a type to be applied with marked effect :

Dear Sir:

There is a little flower known as the Forget-
menot. It is very appropriate for some occasions
— we "work them into" various bouquets.

Here is an instance where we find it necessary
to "work in" a few Porgetmenots of the kind we
do not carry in regular stock.
This is one.

Please Forgetmenot in connection
with the account attached. It is going
to seed.

Yours for happiness ever after.
Every florist anxious to collect money by
mail should remember the following in the
preparation or selection of letters for such
purposes.

(1) To remember and appeal to the cus-
tomer's viewpoint.

(2) To use more "you's" and less "we's"
in written collection appeals.

(3) To reason why payment should be
made rather than to intimate as to what
might happen if payment is not forthcom-
ing.

(4) To write in the customer's language
— not in formal terms.

(5) To be human.

Swiss Garden Shops

By GEORGE CECIL

Pot of Pandanus Veitchii with Rex Begonia and Asparagus plumosus

The white and green foliage of the Pandanus is an effective foil to the pink flowers of the

Begonias, while the crinkled paper cover for the pot gives the necessary finish. Such an

arrangement will meet the call for an inexpensive combination

account of carelessness, but rather due to shortage of
funds, indifference, or perhaps because of the prevail-
ing thought with many that there is no hurry about
paying a florist's bill.

Familiarity with the habits of your customers can
make the selection of such letters easier. The letters
can be keyed to the customers' personality to better
effect. Such a type of letter, to be effective, should
consider in its viewpoint all of the possibilities men-
tioned representing the cause for tardy payments.

A general type of letter in use for such purposes is
quoted following. This sort of letter brings some re-
turn, and this very fact indicates how much better a
return can be obtained when a real, carefully planned
appeal is sent out. The following letter is one in
common use, but represents in its context a rather
indifferent appeal :

Dear Sir :

We take this means of again calling to your
attention the unpaid bill of $17.42, due us for
flowers purchased. Please let us have an early
remittance.

Very truly yours,

An improvement over the above type of appeal is
present in the following letter :
Dear Sir :

I know that it really isn't necessary to write
this letter — that you would take care of the mat-
ter in due time without fail.

But to continue our way we find it necessary,
like all other stores, to have certain rules for the
guidance of our business.

Therefore, this duplicate or second notice of

Nature Reproduced

Switzerland being a country of wild
flowers, most of which are preferred to the
cultivated variety, the Swiss florists have
to adopt special means with a view to se-
curing customers. So their first care is
the dressing of the window, and the ar-
ranging of an enclosure behind the shop, of
which more anon. Meanwhile, if they do
not grow particularly rich, they at least
avoid dying poor.

In the large towns the window space be-
ing more or less generously proportioned,
the proprietor of the establishment gives
free vent to his ideas. A Swiss landscape in the
background and a miniature garden in the foreground
— such is the novel idea. A snow-capped mountain
is painted on a backcloth, the picture being extraordi-
narily like the original, and a tiny cascade (of real
water) falls amidst the rocks, which consist of small
stones. The sky is of the genuine local blue, and,
suspended by an invisible wire, a lordly eagle wings
its flight. A sunlit effect is achieved by means of a
circular hole cut in the canvas, and fitted with a
powerful magnifying glass, behind which burns a
lamp. When evening falls, parti-colored tissue paper
covers the glass, and, lo, a sunset ! * * * The mid-
dle distance, which is "built up," is planted with Al-
pine Roses and Alpine Violets, while a sheet of tin,
suitably colored, suggests a glacier. Wads of cotton
wool, dusted here and there with silver powder, sug-
gest patches of snow, and cleverly modeled chamois
and goats may be seen amidst the rocks — distinctly
a triumph of shop window scenery.

Should circumstances admit, one renews acquaint-
ance with the little mountain stream, for it is made
to reappear in the middle distance, to disappear in
the internal regions of the shop. The banks are
fringed with huge white and yellow Ox-eye Daisies —
an anachronism, these Daisies, in a garden, but, it
must be confessed, a most picturesque one.

Blue Gentians and Scarlet Geraniums

In order that the garden may not begin too abrupt-
ly, a wall, 3ft. high, marks the boundary. The flowers
are much the same as those which exist elsewhere in
Europe. Blue Gentians, however, are included, being
brought from the upper heights, while at least one

Swiss Garden Shops

(Continued from previous page)
toy bed is devoted to scarlet Geraniums,
to which the Swiss are partial. Carna-
tions, especially the pink and white va-
rieties, figure in the scheme, which em-
braces Mignonette, and, perhaps, a neat
box border. Hyacinths, too, are on view,
being regarded as a luxury, the well-to-do
shoppers ever are ready to buy them.
Indeed, the possession of a few pots of
this charming flower stamps the possessor
as a man of substance. Let him see them
"all a-growing, all a-blowing'' in the win-
dow garden, and the odds are that he will
buy them. The chance is one not to be
passed by. For the rest, Hyacinths are
uncommon in Switzerland, and the florist
who embellishes the garden window with
half a dozen is the envy of his competi-
tors.

Although the garden is an excellent
advertisement, quickly becoming the talk
of the town, it is an expensive luxury.
The back cloth shutting out all daylight,
the electric light bill mounts up consider-
ably. Still, the proprietor of the estab-
lishment cannot complain; the garden
earns the cost of the illumination many
times over. Besides, without the telling
advertisement, the shop probably would be
passed by unnoticed. In a land of flowers
the garden product takes some selling.

A Combined Business

The garden at the back of the shop is
a nursery garden and shop combined. The
contents of each bed are labeled with the
price of the pot, the usual "reduction on
taking a quantity" also being notified.
The beds are neatly divided by a row of
Rose bushes, or, should the climate be
suitable, by a row of Crotons, which, by
the way, are much sought after. The cost
enhances their value in the eyes of the
fanciers, and handsome specimens do not
have to wait long for purchasers. In such
demand are they that when put up at
auction (auctions are popular in Switzer-
land) the bidding invariably is high. To
be known as "the Hcrr with a border of
Crotons" is the ambition of many an ama-
teur gardener, and to gratify his fancy
he will pay almost any price that is asked.
Consequently, the florist blesses the taste
Df his patrons, and wishes that his stock
was a larger one.

The back garden often is an afternoon
rendezvous of the local flower fanciers.
A side of the enclosure is taken up by
a- veranda, to which the buyers retire
when it rains; and, should, they be so
disposed, fragrant coffee and the excellent
rolls and yellow butter of the country
await them. The rain having cleared, and
the refreshments having disappeared,
business may be brisk. The flowers, you
see, look all the better for a shower, and
coffee, as made in Switzerland, is an in-
centive to buying.

The mixture of flowers and refresh-
ments may strike the reader as odd. But
roll, butter and coffee are a necessity to
the Swiss; they are ever ready to make
a meal of them, and everyone, apparently,
has the right to sell them. So the dealer
in flowers turns the occasion to account.

"Where Are Such Flowers to Be Seen?"

One sometimes meets a procession of
small boys carrying sandwich boards, on
which is inscribed the following legend:
"Where are such flowers to be seen?"
"What flowers?" asks the mystified spec-
tator. The infant "sandwich man" invites
attention to the board which he carries
on his back, and which is adorned with a
picture of the window garden. "But
where?" repeats the intrigued one, begin-
ning to think that he is the butt of some
villainous joke. "See the last board,"
says the grinning urchin, and, sure enough,
the rear board in the procesion gives the
desired information.

The perambulating advertisement may
not commend itself to the old fashioned
and dignified florist. But it is an effective
means of advertising an address, and an
inexpensive one.

The story of telegraphic orders in a nut-
shell told by Max Schling of New York in
a newspaper advertisement, 7 ' 2 inches

deep across two columns. fee text.

Notable Ketail Advertising

Max Schling of New York, it must be
freely admitted, does considerable adver-
tising, the most of it effective advertising.
The present reproduction we would pass
on as effective in almost every respect,
our criticism, if any, being directed
against the last four lines, three of which
are not as distinct as they should be.
Because the lettering is out of the usual,
and because of its important position in
the paper — second page next reading —
this ad was bound to attract the reader's
attention. The entire ad is hand written,
we take it, and photographed down. We
doubt if it would pay to retain this same
style of penmanship continuously. Regu-
lar foundry type snould be employed at
least five times out of six, or in its place a
somewhat stronger hand writing should be
used, avoiding all appearance ot crowding.

The impotant question, however, above
and over all, is, Does advertising pay?
Coming down to particulars, does it pay
the retail florist? Max Selling's con-
tinued use of the advertising columns of
the large New York papers seems to give
the answer without further question. If
it did not pay, these ads would not be
seen. It must be considered also that the
medium of publicity, in this case the news-

gaper, cannot do it all. There must be
ervice, with a capital "S," to back up any
and all publicity and advertising efforts.

The F. T. D. Enters a Depart-
ment Store

Elsewhere we comment on the pos-
sibilities of publicity efforts that are
more enthusiastic than accurate. A
further illustration of another phase of
this matter is found in a paragraph or two
of the full page ads of the big Brook-
lyn (N. Y.) department store of Abraham
and Straus in the Sunday papers of
Dec. 17.

"Flowers Delivered anywhere in U. S.,"
reads the heading, and then, "Our florist
has been elected a member of the T. A.
F. (Telegraph Associated Florists) and
we are therefore in a position to deliver
flowers on two hours' notice to any part
of the United States or Canada, etc."

What we suppose happened was that
the ad copy writer lost his memoranda,
didn't have time to verify his facts and
used a collection of words that most
nearly suggested to his mind the idea of
the F. T. D. — for undoubtedly that is
what is meant. Such mistakes are amus-
ing at times, but they are also likely to
have serious results. We can imagine the
calling down the same advertising man
would get were he to turn out a full
page of copy for his store and, in a mo-
ment of fovgetfulness, use the name

"Abraham and Stern," or "Isaacson and
Straus," instead of Abraham/ and
Straus.!

This entrance of this particular florist
into the F. T. D. ranks, has, however,
another interesting aspect. Now and
again we hear wails from retail florists
because of the cut rate competition of
department stores. Such complaints will
tend to fall rather flat if the flower de-
partments of those same stores become
full fledged trade members — that is so far
as membership in trade organizations is
concerned. However, vthe leaven may
work both ways, both softening the at-
titude of the flower specialist toward
the more general plant handler, and also
raising the standards of the latter onto
a plane nearer that of the established
profession of floristry. Yes, the "world
do move." sure enough.

The Boutonniere Conductor

Perhaps the most persistent bouttoniere
wearer in America is Win. H. Moore, a
veteran conductor of the Frisco Railroad.
For 25 years he has traveled on the Fort
Worth-Brownwood, Tex., line and he has
never been seen without a flower. His
own home garden at Fort Worth, Tex.,
is always gay with flowers, and when he
starts out each day, he gathers his posy.
At Brownwood the garden owners or the
hotel clerk see that Moore never departs
without a fresh flower. It appears that
he took to wearing a Rose as a boy, and
the habit has clung to him, so much so
that his friends guard against his making
a journey between the two points with
a flower, usually a Rose.

-In Interesting Plan. — One day the cashie. of a
bank said to an old customer: ' 'The board of direc-
tors at their last meeting decided that they would
no longer renew your note." "That's going to be
exceedingly embarrassing," replied the customer
"because this note has been in the bank now about
25 years." "Well," responded the cashier, "the
directors are not going to turn you down, exactly.
They have decided they can no longer discount
your note, but they are going to charge you stor-
age on it." — Judge.

Buffalo, N. Y.

Conrad Forbach, florist of
Pine Hill, Buffalo, N. Y.,
has recently opened a flower
shop in Kensington, the new
residential section of Buf-
falo, and his wife and son
are ably managing the new
shop. A residence has also
been erected here, and it is
proposed to build a number
of greenhouses on the extra
lots adjoining the property.

Mr. Forbach was born in
Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany,
in 1872. He came to this
country in 1889 and worked
for J. H. Rebstock. Later
he started a store and
greenhouses at Pine Hill
and has now the leading
place of business there.
Several cemeteries are lo-
cated nearby, and much
business comes to him from
this source. Mr. Forbach is
an admirer of The Florists
Exchange, and has recently
asked to be put down as a
"life subscriber."

Calendars Received

From Bergen Florist, Jer-
sey City, N. J.— This little
calendar will undoubtedly be
prized by its recipients. The
iand-painted water color pic-
ture, entitled "Where Loveliness Keeps
Tryst," is appropriate in design for a
Sorist, inasmuch as a beautiful basket of
flowers and a lovely human subject are
both represented in a most attractive way.

Trade Notes

The retail end of the trade is fairly
quiet at present, possibly due to the ar-
rival of a sharp touch of Winter weath-
er which is keeping the public indoors.
The general opinion seems to be that
while money is being spent freely in con-
nection with Christmas purchases, not
many flowers are being bought at pres-
ent. Quite a fine amount of funeral work
and weddings are coming along, which
keeps things moving.

The wholesale house reports trade good
with outside orders for Christmas sup-
plies coming in freely. Chrysanthemums
are still plentiful, Maude Dean and Bon-
naffons especially so, with prices remain-
ing normal. Carnations of excellent
quality in good local supply from $5
per 100. Local Roses scarce, with prices
increasing, good Californian stock is ar-
riving. The Poinsettias' supply at pres-
ent is equal to demand; Violets, plenti-
ful, but prices increasing; Paperwhites
limited and Sweet Peas in fair supply,
but demand at present is low.

Mistletoe, especially Oregon, is coming
in freely; Holly quite limited, and qual-
ity not equal to last year; Holly wreaths
16in. are selling wholesale at 50c. each.
Huckleberry, supply and demand very
good. Increased demand for all greenery
from Idaho, Utah and Montana. Even
Calgary and Edmonton, Canada, are
buying cut bloom in the local market; a
heavy shipment of cut flowers and pot
plants left on the 15th for Juneau, Alas-
ka, including 'Mums, Carnations and
Roses, Cyclamens, Poinsettias and as-
sorted ferns.

Hall's Flower Shop has changed hands.
Miss K. Armstrong and Mr. Thorndyke
are the new proprietors. Hollywood Gar-
dens store has taken on a very Christ-
masy look, its main window containing a
fine 4ft. Holly wreath surrounded by ex-
cellent baskets ranging in price from
$5 upward. Sam Dunlap, with Will Des-
mond, as temporary assistant, are out
at the greenhouses this week, preparing
baskets for their Christmas trade.

The Woodlawn Flower Shop carried
out large funeral decorations on Satur-
day last to the order of the Seattle . Un-
dertakers Association, on the occasion of
the - funeral of the late Mrs. Koephfl,
wife of Frank Koephfl, the oldest es-
tablished undertaker in Seattle. The
many floral pieces included gates ajar,
8ft. high; and a large panel 8ft.s4%ft.
were among the designs.

Art Smith of the Smith Floral Co.,
Tacoma, was a visitor in our city today,
looking up Christmas stock and sup-
plies.

During a trip around local growers
to size up Christmas stock available, I
found at the Seattle Floral Co., Geo.
Antene, proprietor, a fine assortment of
pot grown ferns in various sizes. At
the Queen City Floral, where veteran
John Holtze reigns, we found the usual
excellent stock of Solanums which with
John is a specialist. At Tom Wylie's we
saw a fine block of Chrysanthemum Maude
Dean, carrying about 2000 blooms; 1000
had already been cut. Tom says they
have no difficulty getting this variety to
perfection, providing they are planted
early. Locally, it is regarded as a hard
one to time perfectly. Several benches
of Carnations were all setting bloom
freely. A. B. Mathiesen has his usual
crop of high quality Carnations and is
cutting freely.

At Stuber and Richardson's, Bryn
Mawr, we found Chrysanthemums near-
ly over; Carnations coming on freely, a
block of several thousand Aviator being
the heaviest flowered lot we have seen
for some time. The Rainier Floral Co.
and Lambert Peterson, The Queen Anne
Florist, have a good general assortment
of cut and potted stock for their local
trade. Rosaia Bros, at their Thomas
greenhouses, have a good stock of both
pot plants and cut flowers, the former in-
cluding Cyclamen, Poinsettias and vari-
ous Primulas with a good selection of
ferns. They are cutting good Roses,
Gardenias, Cattleyas, Bouvardia and
Euphorbia Jacquiniaj flora; of the latter
they have excellent stock.

Hollywood Gardens Greenhouses in ad-
dition to an excellent supply of Chrysan-
themums and Roses, have a first class lot
of pot plants', their Erica melanthera
are fine specimens and Gus Bjorkman
claims to have the best Poinsettias ever.

Citrus sinensis and Otaheite also very
good. One must not omit to mention the
Azaleas, Blushing Bride and Daybreak,
also a nice stock of Cyclamen. C E.
Benson, Kirkland, has excellent 'Mums
and Carnations; most of the cut blooms
for the Juneau, Alaska, shipment, already
referred to, supplied by him. His Sweet
Peas, in which he specializes, are looking
very fine and coming along satisfactor-
ily. Beall's Greenhouses, Vashon Island,
are sending in heavy cuts of Chadwick
'Mums, Roses and Adiantum.

Florists' Meeting

The usual monthly meeting of the
Seattle Florists Association, was hjeld
on Monday, Dec. 11, at the Italian Com-
mercial Club. Vice-President Harry
Crouch was in charge. This being the
last meeting for 1922, the work of the
association for the past year was reviewed
by the chairman and Secretary Dave
Jones. Unfortunately, the spell of win-
ter weather prevented many of the
growers from attending.

The arrangements for the Annual Flo-
rists Ball were discussed and a commit-
tee appointed to carry them through.
Another committee was appointed to con-
fer with the City Chamber of Commerce,
as to the part to be taken by the asso-
ciation in the development of Seattle as
the Flower City of America.

Lily Growing Experiments

Calling on friend Jake Umlaff at
Volunteer Park last week, I found him
busy superintending the erection of the
new 100ft. orchid house and service build-
ing. He found time, however, to give
me a little more information as to his
Lilium longiflorum. During the year
1922, 1500 bulbs, locally raised, have
been planted into the hardy flower bor-
ders in the park .and 4000 bulblets were
planted into the field from which to se-
lect next year's forcing stock. Another
2000 seedlings were put out in the nur-
sery in January; a large percentage of
these seedlings were blooming during Oc-
tober and November and averaged one
to four blooms. In forcing just as good

SEATTLE

<7>osai* &**■

results were obtained from bulbs 20 months
from seed, as from bulbs grown on from
bulblets twelve months old. As to varia-
tion in type, while seedlings undoubtedly
show slightly more variation than plants
grown from bulblets taken from selected
bulbs, such varieties would, in Mr. Urn-
laff's opinion, be hardly noticeable in
commercial practice. Even with ordinary
imported bulbs, variations both in
flower type and time of blooming occur.
A true strain of Harrisii has been ob-
tained, and seed saved from it. Friend
Umlaff hopes to cross resulting seed-
lings of Japanese type of Longiflorum
with the idea of producing a real early
disease resistant type. The past four
years during which own stock has been
raised from locally ripened seed, no dis-
ease has been discovered among it. With
L. myriophyllum, it is noticed that to
obtain a similar amount of bloom to
that given by L. longiflorum, bulbs re-
quire to be at least a year older. In
tests made, this species has not proved
itself satisfactory for commercial forc-
ing. Bulbs raised locally from seed rip-
ened locally, have proved entirely satis-
factory for garden planting. The seed
ripens satisfactorily, germinates freely,
the resulting seedlings growing quite
easily outdoors. Batches of seedlings
from home ripened seeds of L. auratum,
speciosum and Parryi have been success-
fully raised, and are now in flowering
positions in the field.

The Florists Exchange

Buffalo, N. Y.

The market the past week was rather
dull, but owing to light shipments of
stock, prices remained steady. Owing
to cloudy weather, Carnations and Roses
have not been at their best and the
supply limited. 'Mums are still to be
had at steady prices; Narcissus and
Stevia are coming in more freely. Bud-
dleia has made its first appearance in
the market, the shipper being William
Ehman of Corfu.

Holly was late in making its appear-
ance and this gave most florists an ex-
cuse to discontinue the making of Holly
wreaths. This (has made Holly sales
rather slow. Laurel roping is selling
better than ever.

Among the out of town guests were C.
T. Guenther of Hamburg. W. G. Stroh
of Attica and Edward Stron, also of
Attica, are showing samples of some won-
derful Cyclamen and Begonia plants for
Christmas delivery.

From all indications there will be
plenty of good pot plants for the holi-
days with the exception of Poinsettias
which, as a rule, are always scarce. Cut
flowers will not be plentiful, but we look
for a good supply to take care of the
demand. C. J. K.

News Notes

Dec. 18. — Carl F. Grohman, grow-
er for S. A. Anderson, has the best Poin-
settias he ever had; there are several va-
rieties, but the later blooming are the
best for color and flower. Heathers look
good and: he has a very nice lot of
Crotons, Begonia Melior and Lorraine.
Carl likes the Lorraine better than any
variety because he has better luck with
it. The Orange trees have up to 18
fruit, and the Cyclamen, 6in. to 9in. pots,
are fine. Over 6000 Lilies are doing
nicely.

R. C. Avery, florist and grower at
Lackawanna, opened up a nice store on
the main four corners of the town this
year and is getting a lot of trade out of
town on account of auto traffic going
through this section of Hamburg and
other centers where there are no retail
florists. It pays to have a store where
the people can notice it. Mr. Avery's
Carnations and other stock of plants
look good. He has renovated the whole
plant, so besides his greenhouses and two
stores in Lackawanna, he is well repre-
sented there.

In Batavia, L. C. Stroh & Sons have
a nicely kept up lot of greenhouses and
a store that is a model for cleanliness.
They paint the entire plant every two
years, and this brings more light to the
Carnations and Roses. It pays to do
so. The firm is manufacturing a soil
pulverizer and mixer, having big success
with same. Nelson J. Kemp, the design-
er and inventor, is putting on an addition
to it in the form of a conveyer and
sieve that screens the soil and puts same
on the wagon. The golf courses are using
them for compost and spreading same on
the courses. They will display the appa-
ratus at the leading shows and conven-
tions this coming year.

Enclosed find cheque for $5.15 for the copy of Fritz Bahr's
"Commercial Floriculture." I have received the work, and am
quite sure that this thoroughly practical book will be not alone
an inspiration to those contemplating entering the field of
Floriculture, but will also prove a splendid companion and
guide to those who are advancing the interests of Floriculture
in this country. (Signed) D. Ltjhsden, Secretary.

After studying Fritz Bahr's "Commercial Floriculture," I
wish to congratulate you on publishing such a high-class work.

This book was a long needed necessity to American florists,
as the majority of them have had experience in so few lines.
This book gives them a true knowledge in all branches of the
floral business.

We, in our business, have many inquiries from our customers
and friends, replies to which, we find, takes a lot of time
(which is so precious) to answer. Now it is certainly a relief
to be able to refer to this book in such cases.

Fritz Bahr, with his vast knowledge in all lines, was the
only one capable of undertaking this work and making a suc-
cess of the same. There is no doubt that Mr. Bahr will be well
compensated for his tireless efforts and work.

(Signed) Richard Diener, President.

I have at my hand a copy of that excellent book Fritz Bahr's
"Commercial Floriculture," and cannot speak too highly of
this splendid work. It fills the long needed desire of the small
man in the business for a reference work, which is practical

Sweet Pea, a sport from one of the
Zvolanek varieties; its color is white
with a light coloring of pink running
through the center to the tips or to outer
petals, the size is the largest yet grown,
and will have commercial value on account
of the free blooming qualities; it is named
after C. U. Liggit. Mrs. Preisach took
a trip to Europe this year and covered
Roumania, Poland, Austria, Hungary,
Germany, Holland and Denmark and had
a delightful trip. However, the condi-
tions were not settled enough and she,
with her brother-in-law, John Preisach
and his wife, who were with her, are all
glad to come back home again.

W. J. Peake, florist, 22 Walden ave.,
says he thinks the Christmas season will
be even better than last year, as every-
body is at work and the building trade
is booming. Buffalo has now a new in-
dustry which will employ over 10,000 peo-
ple in the Dunlop Rubber Co., an English
firm that spent over $30,000,000 on build-
ings. No doubt more retail florists will
spring up in that part of Buffalo on ac-
count of this large industry. Mr. Peake
will motor to the convention next Sum-
mer in his auto, as the roads through
New York and the New England States
are among the best in the country.

Charles Reichert of Reicherts Florists,
is in Pittsburgh, Pa., with some help
doing a lot of Christmas decorating for
the Steele interests. These people have
a chain of stores in nearly all the large
cities, their headquarters being in Buf-
falo. * * * Albert Reichert, who looks
after the Main st. store, says he is flood-
ed with orders to decorate the leading
stores, hotels and churches. They have
a large decorative business and Spring
and Fall openings of the large dry goods
stores and Christmas and Easter orders
keep them busy. S. A. Kost.

Englewood, N. J.

Many of our subscribers appreciate the
fact that the publishers of The Florists
Exchange are pretty keen on advertising,
particularly on effective advertising. This
for the reason that in their judgment, ad-
vertising is one of the live issues of every
man who has something to sell.

Consequently, when we receive a well
laid out, nicely printed and logically
worded ad, we like to mention it with a
view to strengthening- the. desire not only
to advertise, but the tendency to have that
advertising good while the advertiser is
about it.

This is a very long prelude to a short
story. The Meadowbrook Nurseries, Inc.,
of Englewood, N. J., recently mailed to
the writer's home a circular offering as a
special feature, live growing Christmas
trees in tubs, 4ft. to 5ft., for $5, with an
illustration of a good Spruce, which in
itself made a picture to attract the eye.
There were listed as well seven other
specialties for Christmas, accompanied
with just a sufficient amount of reading
matter to be easily and quickly read. It
was also made known that the advertisers
were in a position to fill orders for flow-
ers in every section of the country.

The circular was well gotten up, care-
fully printed, and we trust our advertis-
ing friends, come Christmas, wil^ have
reaped a goodly harvest from their en-
terprise. We shall be pleased to hear
from them after the holidays as to re-
sults achieved. There is just one further
point to note, which is this: Taking the
best of care, the finest of printing, the
most attractive of offers, unless the mail-
ing list has been carefully compiled with
a view to circulation among possible pros-
pects, results are apt to be disappointing
in the extreme. The mailing list is one
thing which must be properly provided for
if returns are to be expected.

A Fish Story. — A couple of city chaps summering
in the mountains overheard sufficient fish stories
to stir them to the desire to emulate the native
anglers. Not having equipment, they persuaded
the village storekeeper to lend them some of his
own personal outfit with the understanding that
any parts lost or broken would be paid for or re-
placed. They had been out on the lake in a boat
about half an hour when one of them inquired^ of |
the other: "What do you suppose Ezra Hawkins \
calls that red and blue thing that floats around on
the water ?" "Why, I believe he calls it a float or
a floater, or a bob or something of that nature, f
What made you ask such a question?" "Well, ,
we'll have to buy one of those. The darn thing ]
has sunk." — Everybody's Magazine.

The Market

Tuesday, Dec. 19.— The arrivals
of flowers in the Wholesale Cut Flower
Market, since our review of the market
of Dee. 12, has been, and is today, on the
whole, below normal for this season of
the year, the chief exceptions being rather
large arrivals of Lily of the Valley,
Sweet Peas and long-stemmed Roses.
The demand during this period has also
been small, but sufficient to use up most
items of stock, but altogether inadequate
to absorb the rather large arrivals of
Valley, Sweet Peas and top grade Roses,
which we have just mentioned.

American Beauty Roses are in moder-
ately large supply ; they are selling at
from 6c. to 75c. each, covering all grades
Specials are bringing 30c. to 75c. each,
and a few extra choice blooms of this
grade are realizing $1 each. Top grade
blooms of other Roses are bringing from
15c. to 50c. each when sold the first day,
but not a few of these are carried over
and have to be disposed of later at the
price of Roses of the lower grades.
No. 2 grade blooms are fetching $6 to
$8 per 100 and are meeting with an ac-
tive demand.

Carnations are in medium supply and
are bringing in general $8 to $12 per 100,
tut a few No. 2 grade blooms of infe-
rior quality are making no more than
$5 ; the asking price for some extra
choice blooms is $15 per 100, but very
few sales are reported at that figure. The
present demand is not active.

Cattleyas are in a little larger supply;
blooms of the variety Percivaliana are
bringing 35c. to $1 each, and those Tri-
ana?, $1 to $1.50 each, and a few choice

hybrids, $2. Gardenias are in moderate
supply and realize $2 to $6 per doz.
Lily of the Valley is in rather large sup-
ply aud is meeting with an extremely
small demand at prices ranging from $2
to $0 per 100, with large accumulations ;
it seems impossible to move this flower at
any price. White and rubrum Lilies are
in medium supply and are meeting with
a fairly good demand at $15 to $25 per
100 for the former and $10 to $15 for the
latter. The small supply of Callas is
selling at $1.50 to $3 per doz., respectively.
The list of miscellaneous flowers in-
cludes Bouvardia at 50c. to $1 a bunch;
the rear guard of the 'Mums at $1 to $5
per doz. for the large flowered varieties,
and 50c. to $1 per bunch for the Pom-
pons and Singles ; Daisies at $1 to $3 per
100 in increasing supply; a little Didis-
cus, Mignonette and Myosotis are seen,
the first selling at 00c. to 75c. a bunch,
the second 75c. to $2 per doz., the third
at 50c. to 75c. per bunch. There is an
increasing supply of Poinsettias at $3 to
$6 per doz. with a little larger asking,
price for some of immense size ; a fair
supply of Stevia at 25c. to 35c. per
bunch ; a rather large supply of Sweet
Peas at $1 to $4 per 100 ; a small supply
of all kinds of Violets, doubles at $1.50
to $2, Princess of Wales, $2, and Gov-
ernor Herrick $1 to $1.25 per 100, and
a few bunches of Wallflower at 60c. to
75c. per bunch.

The present supply of hardy greens as
a matter of course, is very large and in-
cludes everything that ever comes into
the market for the holiday season. The
supply of indoor greens is also normally
large for the season. The hardy greens
are meeting with a very heavy demand
and the indoor greens with a demand in
general keeping with the sale of cut flow-
ers at this time.

■ irrtm-liiu nlpHsp men! ton The Bxch:i

The report covering market conditions
for issue of Dec. 16 and having to do
with the trade following Thanksgiving
week, was delayed in the mails, hence
this brief resume. The week following
Thanksgiving was one of light business on
the wholesale market. It has always been
said and it was no different the week in
question. There was a reasonable amount
of buying, but nothing in proportion to
the amount of stock that had to be mov-
ed. The business for the week of Dec.
11 opened briskly, there being a notable
demand in the shipping. The large amount
of stock grown by many of the retailers
who both grow and retail in other large
cities has passed with the Chrysanthe-
mum season and production with them is
down to a minimum so that the Chicago
market will be called on for a long time
to come to furnish a large portion of
supply for many large cities from the
Far Northwest to the Gulf of Mexico.
Cheer Monday on Dec. 11 made great in-
roads on the supply of yellow Pompons.
Thousands of them were distributed free
on the streets through the efforts of the
Kiwanis and other organizations. It was
a splendid opportunity to make a cleanup
on this stock that was holding on beyond
the customary limit of the season.

The supply of Roses was not large,
there being sufficient demand to take all
stock coming in especially on the shorter
grades. It was only fancy stock at higher
prices that needed pushing. Carnations
were about equal to the demand, but
the growers report good crops in sight
for Christmas week. There are not a
great many Orchids, Cattleyas and Cypri-
pediums constitute practically the bulk
of the supply. Bulbous stock is becom-
ing a factor, especially Paperwhites.
There are some yellow Soleil d'Or, and a
few white Roman Hyacinths. Sweet
Peas are scarce and there are no more
Violets than there is a demand for. The
supply of fancy ferns is uncertain, being
reduced by the fact that all shipments
don't open up well, causing considerable
loss. Dealers say they were picked too
soft. The price is $4 per 1000 and may
go higher before the holiday shipping is
over.

The Christmas Trade

The prospects for the present week's
business are unusually good. There are
more advance orders booked than ever be-
fore. The supply of Roses two weeks
ago promised to be the largest ever
seen before for the Christmas market.
The same applies to Carnations. Since
those observations were made there has
been a remarkable change in weather
conditions. The first snow to remain on
the ground came the past week followed
by below zero weather, which was dark
and sunless as well. One or two days
the past week street lights burned all
day and in all the office buildings artifi-
cial light was used during the entire day.
All this is against the high mark of pro-
duction for the week's supply and whether
the forecasts made by observant ones ten

days ago will be realized by the close of
the present week remain to be seen.

The week's business opened strong Mon-
day, Christmas prices going into effect
at least two days before scheduled time,
owing to the fact that there was but little
stock on the market, whether from the
bad weather conditions or that the grow-
ers were holding back for the week-end
trade no one would venture to say. Ship-
ping was heavy Monday, especially in such
stock as Boxwood, Galax, Holly, Red
Berries and all such stock as dealers can
hold for a time and stock up for the
holiday rush. Cut flower shipments will
assume their largest volume for the week
beginning Wednesday and continuing up
to Saturday. The trade is jubilant over
the outlook as far as prices are concerned,
but how the supply will measure up with
the demand can be better told a week
later.

In Roses, Columbia, Premier and Cru-
sader are held in a class by themselves,
at about equivalent prices; from $10 to
$12 for short up to $50 for special, with
the medium grades ranging anywhere be-
tween these figures. Then White Killar-
ney, Sunburst, Mme. Butterfly are in the
same class by some dealers, at prices
ranging from $10 to $35 per 100; medium
and select at from $18 to $20. Carnations
are from $12 to $15 per 100. Poinettias
from $3 to $6 per doz. Lilies $25 to $30
per 100. Paperwhites $8 to $10. Valley
remains the same at $8. Violet from $2
to $3 per 100. Calendulas $4 to $8.
Stevia $3. Sweet Pea $3 to $4. The
severely cold weather is making the ex-
pense of packing much greater, extra
wrapping and a larger supply of material
has to be used daily. Those who have
been wishing for cold weather should now
be satisfied, but to the retailer and whole-
saler who have to handle perishable stock
it means an increased expense of carrying
on _ business. The business for the re-
mainder of the week will be watched with
greater anxiety than ever by all con-
cerned, on account of weather conditions
and the great change that has taken place
since last report.

The supply houses of the city report
a wonderful trade with a good clean up
on many staple line of supplies. Some
of the houses have for some time been
refusing orders for made up decorated
Magnolia wreaths for cemetery use. Red
Ruscus has been short of the demand.
Red Frieze is abundant and more of it is
being used than ever on account of the
scarcity of Ruscus. All the salesmen are
in for the holidays and helping out with
the last minute rush at their various
house.

The Poehlmann Bros. Co. will begin
Tuesday, Jan. 2, to move its supply de-
partment from the second floor, 66 E.
Randolph st., to the second floor of the
new wholesale cut flower department at
163 to 165 N. Wabash ave. This is a
convenient location, and the entire floor
is being fitted up so as to make it one of
the most up to the minute supply depart-
ments in the city.

The Allied Florist Association is doing
some fine advertising this week in all of
the leading city papers in suggesting flow-
ers for Christmas offerings. Give Flow-
ers. Why tussle further with the gift
problem when flowers give such an im-
mediate answer?" is featured in all their
copy and illustrations.

Christmas trees in pots are offered at
the various stores. Young Spruce trees,
well shaped and potted into a 6in. or Vin.
pot, line the sidewalks in front of many
of the retail stores.

There are still to be seen a good many
Araucarias in the display windows of the
retailers; these are trimmed with bows
of red ribbon, and/ generally a red pot
cover that gives them that 'holiday touch
of color that makes them favorite Christ-
mas offerings with so many, that they have
become almost a staple in the offerings of
florists' holiday goods.

News Notes

The E. C. Amling Co. expects to
handle half a million Roses for Christ-
mas. Last year they disposed of 360,-
000, but with increased glass capacity
this year, should reach the 500,000 mark.

Escaping gas from the mains of the
village of Naperville caused serious loss
to the orchid collection of Chas. Bond,
the well known grower there. The holiday
cut of Cattleyas will be lost, but prob-
ably no permanent injury to the plants
will result.

The American Greenhouse Mfg. Co. is
sending to its friends and customers a
handsome pocket letter case as a Christ-
mas remembrance. A year of prosperous
business is reported, and from orders al-
ready booked, the New Year will open
auspiciously.

Zech & Mann are putting up Holly
wreaths for the Christmas trade as a
side line. Allie Zech and several help-
ers have been working overtime each
night the past week. This house is mak-
ing a specialty of Boxwood and red ber-
ries of which they are well supplied
with stock of excellent quality.

Peter Pearson reports progress in mat-
ters regarding the Spring flower show.
He will have something definite to report
at the next club meeting. The committee
is as follows: August Poehlmann, Joseph
Rollout and M. Wiltgen from the com-
mercial flower growers; H. D. Schiller,
Peter Pearson and Fred Lautenschlager
from the Florists Club, to which is added
the directors of the Allied Florists As-
sociation.

The retail stores of the city are in
holiday attire and it is interesting to
note the large amount of prepared and
artificial stock that is being used. Most
of the windows are a blaze of red. Frieze
wreaths, red Ruscus, velvet Poinsettias,
red pot covers, red Pine cones, red crepe
paper and red candles. Lotus seed
pods, thistles, and various other growths
from the woods and swamps are also pre-
pared in red for Christmas. Several
houses put up a selection of these "painted
weeds" in which the Lotus pods and foli-
age predominate. These are packed in
a box and have a special appeal to pur-
chasers when told they last indefinitely.
They sell at $3 per box. One loop store
states they sell from 150 to 200 boxes a
day The growers of Christmas plants
report a good cleanup, all the stock now
being in the hands of the retailers. The
indications are that there will be a large
business. Extra help is being put on
for the week at all the leading stores.
Baskets of Boxwood with red berries in-
termixed and a large red candle in the
center are much in evidence. There are
more . .candles used this Christmas than
ever before.

John Pritchard of the Bedford Hills
Flower Co., Bedford Hills, N. Y., spent
several days in the city following Poehl-
mann day at Morton Grove and inspected
all the large Rose growing establishments
around the city. At Maywood he was
especially pleased with the Premier Rose
Gardens and the Weiss Meyer Co.'s Lord
& Burnham greenhouse where 15,000
Premier Roses are in prime condition for
the holiday cut.

Loss to British Horticulture

Deaths of H. J. Elwes and Prof. T. B.
Balfour

British journals record the recent
death of Henry John Elwes, at the age of
76. Long classed as one of the giants of
horticulture, Mr. Elwes was a famous
traveler and collector. He was one of
the greatest authorities on Lilies, his
monograph on same, 1880, being still a
standard work. He was also a great au-
thority on trees and succulent plants.
His travels took him all over Asia, India,
North and South America and Siberia,
and the plants he collected and sent home

for distribution are legion. He held the-
Victorian medal, and was closely associ-
ated with the Botanical Magazine.

Another heavy loss to British horticul-
ture is caused by the death of Prof. T.
Baley Balfour, for many years Regius .
Keeper of the Edinburgh Botanical Gar-
dens. He was 69 years of age.

Question Box i

Gladioli and Delphiniums

I would like to know what varieties of
Gladioli are best for forcing. I would .
also like to know if you have any books,
on the indoor culture of Delphiniums. If
you have no books on Delphiniums, I
would like to know when is the best time
to plant them in greenhouses.

J. G. G., N. Y.

— The list of Gladioli suited to forc-
ing is fairly lengthy, but prominent are:
America, Baron Hulot, Brenchleyensis, .
Maiden's Blush, Hollandia, Mrs. F. King,.
Niagara, Pink Beauty, Prince of Wales,.
White Giant, Blushing Bride and Louise.
All the Primulinus varieties are also good
for forcing and they are usually earlier
than the larger sorts.

The only book we know of that refers
to forcing Delphiniums is the new Fritz
Bahr's "Commercial Floriculture," price
$5 from this office. You will be well ad-
vised to buy this book; it is full of in-
formation such as you may be wanting.

Calla Roots Rotting

W. E., N: J.

— Your plants are doubtless affected by
soft rot, bacillus aroidea?. This disease
develops rapidly and is always worse
when the plants are grown in solid beds.
Diseased roots are probably responsible
for your trouble unless you planted in
soil previously infected with the disease.
In most cases the roots go without pre-
viously showing any particular evidence
of trouble in the foliage. Sometimes the
rot will dry up before the entire root is
destroyed, but much depends upon the soil
and moisture. Heavily manured soil is a
a great help' to this disease. It is also
capable of attacking Carrots, Potatoes,.
Turnip, Cabbage, Tomatoes, etc.

The cure for diseased roots has not ap-
parently been discovered. Roots should
always be carefully inspected before plant-
ing; diseased samples show it plainly when
cut. The soil should be either new or
thoroughly sterilized. If Callas are planted
in the same soil more than three seasoHS,.
disease is apt to break out unless well
sterilized. It is a good plan to start new
or suspected roots in pots; the affected
ones can then be discovered before plant-
ing out. Some growers prefer pot culture
entirely. We can only suggest you burn
all affected plants and remove as much of
the soil around them as possible. Formalde-
hyde, sulphuric acid or other powerful
sterilizers cannot be used where plants are
growing, and as the disease is bacterial
no fungicide will affect it.

"Jay-Em" Says —

Gardening a Fine Art

"Gardening, long held one of the humbler
occupations, is blossoming into the ranks of
the fine arts. The creation of a successful
garden is as much a work of art as achieving
a fine painting, a musical composition, a noble
sculpture. Color arrangement must be con-
sidered in gardening as carefully as a painter
considers h s color values or a musician his
tones.

Gardening in America is becoming a fine art,
and the finer American gardens already equal
the famous ones of the Old World in variety
and surpass in color and arrangement."

From address of Mrs. Francis King, Alma,
Mich., President of the "Woman's National
Farm and Garden Association, at Hotel La
Salle, Chicago, Dec. 11.

CARE IN CHOOSING VARIETIES. — Many varieties of this type have been introduced within the past year or two, numerous of which have
little or no merit. Supplying as we do many of the largest Sweet Pea growers in this country, we spare no effort to ascertain the best commercial
varieties, all of which are given a thorough trial as to their "Florists Value" before being offered to the trade.

The Market

Dec. 19.— Outside of marking time,
the salesmen in the wholesale flower mar-
kets have had little to do this past week.
Nature's agencies were all combined to
hold the output of flowers down to the
lowest minimum, and although the public
seems not afraid to travel through snow
and slush when it comes to shopping for
Christmas presents, it has not, so far,
bestowed much of its patronage on the
flower stores. But, as we well know, the
public will do its part in due time, just
as it has always done. The retail stores
have prepared for a genuine, old fashioned
Christmas trade, and have stocked up
with plants as never before, so that al-
most every plant grower was sold out
completely two or more weeks ago. Many
more plants could have been sold.

Roses had a tumble for a few days in
the beginning of last week, and have only
recovered again yesterday. Arrivals are
only moderate, and with a little better
demand yesterday and today, prices have
reached again the level of a week ago.
Carnations went through the same per-
formance and have come back again the
same way, selling now for 8c. to 10c. for
good ordinary7 sorts, and 12c. or more for
fancies. Carnations are being held back
for Christmas, according to all signs.

We have still quite a few Chrysanthe-
mums, although not many good ones.
Seidewitz in pink is the best at present,
bringing up to $4 per doz. There are a
few Bonnaffon, Enguehard and some Mari-
gold, all yellow. Among the singles, about
the only good one left is Godfrey, and
among the Buttons, Baby and Christmas

Gold. Good Antirrhinum is bringing $2 per
bunch for what little there is offered.
Calendulas, Marguerites, Bachelor But-
tons, Wallflowers and the other small
items sell well at advanced prices. Pansies
are coming fine, selling readily at from
2c. to 4c.

Sweet Peas are good and in fair sup-
ply. Violets are very scarce and are
expected to bring 4c. at Christmas. There
is a steady supply of longiflorum Lilies
and just about enough Stevia to satisfy
a strong demand. Paperwhites are becom-
ing fewer for the present, and sell now
at 8c. for the best. Bouvardia is hard to
find, and so are Cattleyas of any sort, while
Cypripediums are plentiful enough. There
is a good demand for Lily of the Valley,
which brings from 8e. to 10c.

The supply of Christmas greens, berries,
cones, Holly, trees and all the many other
items is almost unlimited, with a steady
demand keeping the shipping houses busy
until late at night.

For this issue our readers will find
themselves somewhat deprived of the in-
teresting notes from our much appeciated
representative, Gustave Thommen. That
gentleman, unfortunately, is suffering
from an attack of inflammatory rheuma-
tism, and consequently has to be excused
for this week. We will all trust that his
recovery may be not only speedy but
thorough.

News Notes

Mr. and Mrs. Charles S. Strout,
Biddeford, Me., started on their annual
Winter trip southward about one week
ago. They are motoring by leisurely
stages until southern Florida is reached.
Along the road they will peep in, here
and there, to see what the brother florists
are doing. The return trip will be timed
so as to allow a lengthy stay at Pinehurst,
N. C, in preparation for the coming golf
tournaments, which latter Mr. Strout
would not miss for anything. The travel-
ers expect to reach home again in May.

A year ago J. K. Chandler & Sons,
Tewksbury, Mass., hit it just right with
Begonia Mrs. M. A. Patten, which they
grew in 4in. and 5in. pots for Christmas.
This season they went in a little deeper,
growing several thousands of the plants,
and are finding a very good market for
the same.

A. A. Pembroke, North Beverly, brought
to the market the first Iris tingitana.
Not only were they the first of the season,

but for size, color and general quality they
would take first prize at any show. Mr.
Pembroke says the bulbs are California
grown and that about 75 per cent of
them are flowering fine. The first ship-
ment brought $15 per doz. spikes.

Charles F. Boyle, president of Thomas
F. Galvin, Inc., was the recipient of an
unusual floral tribute from 125 employees
of the firm on the date of his 25th anni-
versary as a worker in the company. Mr.
Boyle started to worki for Thomas F.
Galvin, at 124 Temple st., on Dec. 7, 1S97.
Four years later he was buyer at the
Boylston st. store. He later became gen-
eral manager, and in 191S was advanced
to general manager of the two Boston
stores and the one in New York. In 1920
he became president of the corporation.
The floral gift was in the form of a horse-
shoe, not more than 3% in. over all, the
dates, 1897 and 1922, being done in white
Immortelles, and the whole encased in
glass.

Courtland C. Earle, proprietor of the
Earlecroft Greenhouses, Groton, Mass.,
was married in King's Chapel, on Wednes-
day, Dec. 13, to a Boston lady.

L. Martino of Everett is cutting some
exceedingly well grown Seidewitz Chrys-
anthemums.

Plant growers in the Boston district are
well satisfied with Christmas sales this
year. Almost without exception, they
had sold out all flowering plants at satis-
factory prices, two or three weeks ago.

A Useful Calendar

Andrew Wilson, the Springfield, N. J.,
manufacturer of insecticides, etc., is dis-
tributing a neat desk calendar in the
form of a blotter with a celluloid top
cover. The latter has printed upon it
the calendar for the year and a pictorial
representation of Santa Clans en route
with his team of reindeer, which gives it
a typical Christmas card appearance.

Philadelphia

Dec. 18. — Prices have started upward,
although not expected to reach their
prime for a day or two at the time of
writing. Supply? Seems to be lots of
everything, particularly long Roses. Reds
are plentiful except possibly in Carna-
tions. Red Carnations were bringing al-
most Laddie prices and expected to go
higher.

Russell is scarce in some establish-
ments, although one of the large shippers

informed us that a plentiful supply
would be available with him. Advance
price quotations for Christmas were as
high as $50 and $60 per 100 for special
and fancy grades in this bloom.

In Red Roses long stemmed stock is not
in active demand at present — although
most firms are more or less cleaning up.
The heavy demand is for shorts. Carna-
tions are supposed to be in excellent
supply. The rise in prices is really due
to the fact that these blooms have been
running very cheap all Fall and the holi-
day season has brought a general reac-
tion upward.

Be a Merrie One

Large Chrysanthemums are no long-
er a factor on the market, although some
occur here and there. Pompons are still
in fair supply and quality. Peas im-
prove in quality every day and prices fol-
low.

In Lilies, 25c. is considered probably
the top, with L. Rubrum from 20c. to
25c. Valley is likely to remain firm at
Sc. and 10c.

Due to the uncertain conditions at the
time of writing, a full report of the
Christmas market will be deferred until
nest week. Mention might, however, be
made of the present Rose prices. Very
short Loses, 6in. or so, are as low as $6,
but only- certain wholesale establishments
have such short stock. With many firms
12in. is the shortest, and hence their bot-
tom price would be much higher.

News Notes

A tour of the market showed ex-
cellent Lilium Rubrum at the Philadel-
phia Growers Cut Flower Market, fine
Holly wreaths at Eugene Bernheimer's,
some fine Russell at S. S. Pennock Co.,
orchids in both variety and quantity at
the Leo Niessen Co., and very large flow-
ered Peas at Berger Bros.

Wm. E. McKissiek of Baltimore was
seen around the market Dec. 18. Other
visitors to the city were Geo. B. Rine,
Selinsgrove, Pa., and David Grillbrotzer,
Alexandria, Va.

Jack Neidinger has been in hospital
undergoing an operation. His many
friends will be pleased to learn that it
was successful and that he is making fine
recovery.

A. M. Campbell has been cutting a fine
block of Poinsettias.

An interesting side issue in regard to
the hold-up and shooting last week in
the streets of Philadelphia by bandits
was the fact that the automobile the
criminals abandoned after the affair be-
longed to J. Otto Thilow of Dreer's. It
had been stolen from him some time
ago. "It's an ill wind," etc.

Charles E. Meehan had an interesting
collection of small potted Christmas
trees, which filled the unoccupied store
in his building on S. Mole st. The trees
were from 1 to 2^ft. in height and in-
cluded a large range of varieties and
colors of evergreens — from Spruce to
Retinisporas. Some advertising of this
supply was noticed in the Bulletin last
week and Mr. Meehan says that he ex-
pected to sell them both at wholesale
and at retail.

At 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 17, a false
alarm was rung in regard to the building
occupied by the Evergreen Supply Co.
Martin Gannon says they were so very
busy that someone must have seen the
commotion and taken it for a fire. When
the firemen arrived Mart tried to put
them to work bunching ferns!

The next meeting of the Philadelphia
Florists Club, Jan. 2, will be worth at-
tending by all. Ladies Night, entertain-
ment and dance. Everybody in the trade
invited, Hotel Adelphia at 8 p.m.

Death of Bernard Eschner

Monday morning, Dec. IS, rumors
were floating about the market concern-
ing the death of the president of M.
Rice Co. A shocked whisper here and
a troubled face there. Personal friend of
very many in the trade as he was, the
confirmation of this rumor was every-
where heard with regret and sorrow. A
full obituary appears in the editorial
pages of The Exchange.

Arthur Zirkman and Raymond Bruns-
wick will carry on the business of the
firm without interruption, although the
establishment was closed Dec. 18.

Among the Retailers

We met Charlie Grakelow on the
market and asked him how Christmas
looked with him: "Busy enough, oh yes,''
he replied. "Wednesday we'll start being
busy in earnest. Thursday we'll be bus-
ier: Friday we'll be rushed to death.
Saturday, insanity — Sunday the same —
and after that the deluge!" which seemed
to us to be as good a way as any of put-
ting it.

The florists' windows are bright and
cheerful — red and green effects nearly
always. This sameness and repetition of
effect at the great holiday season — why is
it not monotonous? It isn't. Every
fresh window we pass is almost the same
as the last one, but the more we see the
more cheerful we become. Positively in-

toxicating if one keeps it up long enough.
Is it that the message is so old and dear
that no matter how often we receive it,
it is as wonderful as ever? The cumu-
lative effect is one which must and does
make the man in the street dig into
his jeans and buy him some fixings for
the home.

Habermehl's Bellevue-Stratford store
was unique. The window was draped
in orchid colored silk and from the ceil-
ing drooped a festoon of Smilax roping
with Cattleyas profusely distributed over
the whole fixture. The effect was su-
perb.

With Charles Henry Fox the specialty
was the Christmas candle as merchan-
dise. A stand of artificial foliage — red
and green — makes the base and the red
wax candle provides the standard. The
article comes in three sizes — to sell at
$5, $3 and 50c. The box is another
specialty and can be shipped safely by
parcel post. Last year over 500 were
sold and this year orders are expected
to touch the 1000 mark. The great ad-
vantage in handling this material is that
sales can start two weeks ahead of
Christmas and be more or less out of the
way when the cut flower rush starts.

The Reading Terminal Flower Shop
was a pleasant glow of red and green in
the corner of the waiting room of the
Reading Terminal where Frank Alter
may be seen. Business fine here.

Sales of miniature Christmas trees
(artificial) and cigarette bouquets have
been excellent with T. Nielson Geiger.

New York— (Cont. from page 1710)

Preparation for Christmas

This is pre-Christmas week, and
the preparations among the local whole-
sale and retail florists (of which we spoke
last week) are being given intense,
intelligent and energetic attention. Op-
timism as regards holiday sales of flow-
ers and plants seems to prevail in all
branches of the flower trade. Good judges
of the situation express the opinion that
the supply of plants and cut flowers,
and the demand for them will be pretty
well balanced. Just what is going to
happen, it is vain to prophesy, but the
reports of The Exchange in the issue
of Dec. 30 will cover points of interest
as to the supply of cut flowers and plants
and the demand and approximate prices.

Lee M. Pasquin has been contribut-
ing to the New York Globe and Com-
mercial Advertiser each day for a number
of weeks a series of articles under the
general heading of "Making the Grade."
Mr. Pasquin in these articles tells brief-
ly the story of those men in the different
occupations and professions of life who,

beginning at the bottom of the ladder,
have reached its top round. The sub-
ject of Mr. Pasquin's story in the Globe
of Tuesday, Dec. 12, was the countrywide
and internationally known retail florist,
Max Schling of 7S5 Fifth ave., New York
City.

We note at J. K. Allen's, 43 W. 18th
st. this pre-Christmas week, some fine
Nephrolepis Ferns, English Ivies and
Rubber plants, along with a goodly supply
of cut flowers. We noted in the whole-
sale market on Tuesday of this week,
William H. Duekham of Duckham-Pier-
son Co., the well-known and famous Rose
growers of Madison, N. J., calling on
his wholesale friends.

Another caller noted was Arthur Her-
rington of Madison, N. J., the recently
and deservedly elected president of the
New York Florists Club, who will enter
upon his new official duties early in 1923.
Mr. Herrington, we noted, was being
warmly congratulated by his many
friends who had not met him since his
election.

Secretary John Young smilingly ad-
mits that he celebrated his 54th birth-
day on Sunday, Dec. 17, and that he re-
ceived many congratulations, and not a
few remembrances from his many
friends. Mr. Young also tells us that he
recently received a Christmas postal
card from J. Austin Shaw, formerly
well known in this city, but for the last
few years residing in Ocean Park, Santa
Monica, Cal. Others of Mr. Shaw's
friends here, Mr. Young tells us, have
been the recipients of such cards.

There was a meeting at 2 p.m. Tues-
day, Dec. 19, at Secretary Young's of-
fice, 43 West 18th st. of the Schedule
Committee of the New York Flower
Show. They arranged staging days for
the different classes, for which the final
schedule will be ready early in January.

Brooklyn Takes the Blue Ribbon

The old bell in the tower of Bor-
ough Hall, Brooklyn, rang out on Tues-
day, Dec. 19, to celebrate the fact that
Brooklyn had won the "Building Blue
Kibbon" by surpassing every city in the
country in building operations for 1922.
Figures given out at the Borough Presi-
dent's office, show building projects of
§201,000,000 so far, and before the end
of the year it is expected that $10,000,-
000 more will be added.

The Federal Council of Churches of
Christ in America, issued on Dec. 19 a
request for the 100,000 congregations in
the United States to observe Dec. 23 as
"World Peace Sunday," and to demand
that the governments of the world find
a way to settle their disputes other than
by war. Twenty-seven countries will ob-
serve this day.

The World's Work for December, we
are told, in an artivle entitled, "What
Science Is Doing" has an interesting il-
lustrated account of the present day re-
frigeration of flowers. * * It is reported
that on Saturday night, Dec. 16 a fire
broke out in the greenhouses conducted by
the son of the late J. F. Marsden at
Lawrence, Long Island. (See elsewhere
for detailed report.)

Among the callers at S. A. F. head-
quarters recently were M. C. Wright,
manager of the Chicago office of the
Lord & Burnham Co., and Jos H. Hill of
Richmond, Indiana.

David H. Morton, Jr., florist, was in-
corporated with a capital tock of $5000,

well known nurseryman and landscapist,

Auburn, N. Y.

The past week was a dull one, little
funeral work and practically no cut
flower business. Only the advance prep-
arations for Christmas kept florists busy.
Unusually dull weather with severe drops
in temperature has limited the cut
flower crop noticeably, but plants are
in good condition. These probably will
figure largely in the Christmas business,
cut flowers being scarce and high.

Horticultural Society Meets

The annual meeting of the above
society was held on the 12th instant.
Reports of the officers showed that a
good year's work has been done. Two
successful exhibitions were held and in-
teresting exhibits were shown at the
regular meetings. Improvement was
noted at both the school and home gar-
dens. Liberal premiums were paid out
at the former, by an interested citizen
through the society, and to the latter,
from a fund available from the State.

The officers elected for 1923 are: Presi-
dent, Andrew J. Dorward; first vice-
president, James Hooper; second vice-
president, James Brown; recording sec-
retary, William G. Taylor; financial sec-
retary, William Gray; treasurer, Rich-
ard Gardner; sergeant at arms, William
F. Smith. The above named with the
following complete the executive com-
mittee: John T. Allan, James Robertson,
William MacKaye, Alexander MacLellan
John B. Urquhart, Frederick Carter,
Bruce Butterton, V. A. Vanicek.

A most interesting discussion followed
the election of officers on cross-fertiliza-
tion of plants, grafting and sporting or
departures from type, in which some puz-
zling problems were cleared up. The
leaders in this discussion were Richard
Gardner, John T. Allan and E. Kempe-
naar. Cigars were passed by Mr. Allan,
who is alderman-elect from the Fourth
Ward. Alexander MacLellan.

New Work for Leonard C. Midgley

Leonard C. Midgley, horticulturist
of the Worcester County Extension Serv-
ice for the past four years, has resigned,
and will devote all his time to his duties
as secretary-treasurer of the First Wor-
cester County National Farm Loan Bank,
beginning Jan. 1. For the past year he
has been carrying on the bank work in con-
nection with his horticultural activities.
Mr. Midgley joined the staff of the Exten-
sion Service in 1917, and during that and
the following year he was in charge of the
war gardens throughout the country.
When the war ended he established the
department of horticulture for the Ex-
tension Service, and has been head of
that department since.

At the last meeting of the directors of
the Farm Loan Bank Mr. Midgley was
chosen secretary-treasurer, with the agree-
ment that he would devote all his time to
the work, starting Jan. 1. The bank,
which was established by the Government
as a means of making it easier for farmers
to obtain loans, has loaned more than
$500,000 during its existence here. For
15 years prior to his connection with the
Extension Service, Mr. Midgley carried
on a florist business, which grew to be
one of the largest of its kind between
Boston and Springfield. His work has
taken him into all parts of the country
at frequent intervals, and he has friends
in every town and city. His reports show
that he has addressed 168 county meet-
ings, where he talked on flowers, fruits
and vegetables, this year.

Mr. Midgley is superintendent of the
horticultural branch of the Worcester
County ' Agricultural Society, which has
charge of the New England Fair. He is
a member of the finance committee of the
Worcester County Horticultural Society,
of which he is an ex-president and ex-
secretary. Mr. Midgley's resignation has
been forwarded to the trustees and George
Story, manager of the Extension Service.
His successor has not been named.

Trade Notes

Business with the florists has been
rather brisk during the past week, with
an abundance of funeral work, as well as
many early orders for Christmas. Wreaths
of Holly, Laurel, Ground Pine and Box-
wood are all moving well, as are the Box-
wood balls, baskets filled with Ruscus
artificially prepared flowers and Christ-
. mas1 novelties. Cut flower prices are
tremendously high, with Carnations bring-
ing as high as 16c. Roses range from
8c. to 30c. and upward. Other cut flower
prices are on a similar scale. Cyclamen
are the best sellers in the pot plant line,
with Cincinnatis, Meliors and Peterson
Begonias following close. Ericas, Poin-
settias and ferns of all types find a ready
market, as do the made-up baskets of
assorted plants. N. W. P.

Christmas Prospects

As the big day approaches, there
is a very noticeable change in conditions.
The retail stores are taking on a Christ-
mas-like appearance, and many fine win-
dow decorations are in evidence. In
the greenhouses, all is ready for the big
rush, and the pot plant growers are al-
ready sending out large shipments. With-
out a doubt, everything in the line of
blooming plants will be sold, and there
is a good demand for ferns.

Snow every day this week has been
rather detrimental to cut flowers, but it
appears that the Rose crop was timed
just right, a good cut is assured. Prices
are about the same as last season, Roses
ranging from 10c. to 35c. There will be
only a few red this season, as the grow-
ers find it unprofitable to grow many
Hoosier Beauty for more than one rea-
son, the big fault being its terribly weak
stem, which caused a lot of grief last
Christmas. Dunlop will be the favorite
this year, due to its fine color, and the
size of the flowers. Columbia, Butterfly
and Pilgrim will also find a ready sale.
Pilgrim, especially, is in fine condition
for Christmas and is finding many
friends among the retailers. It looks like
one of the best of the entire Rose world.

Carnations will be scarce for the holi-
days; the cloudy and stormy weather has
held them back to such an extent that
many orders will have to be turned down.
Laddie is looking good, but there will
not be anywhere near enough to go
around. Some fine cut Poinsettias will
be offered the trade at $4, $5 and $6

per doz.; Paperwhites will be in large
supply, and there will undoubtedly be
enough of these to take care of the or-
ders.

In pot plants, Cyclamen, which, by the
way are the best grown in this section
for years, Begonias, Cherries, Poinsettias,
Peppers and Ferns will be the biggest
part of the show.

Will You Be Ready?

Many florists will remember 1922 as a big, profitable year. Indications

Trade Notes

Dec. 14. — Thanksgiving 1922 turned
out to the entire satisfaction of all the
trade. The reports run around last year's
volume, but most shops looked for less, so
that there was a far more satisfactory
clean up. The day following, which was
one of those heavy funeral days, took all
stock that was left on hand, and everyone
was more than pleased. As usual, the
Pompon 'Mum was the big seller, and
thousands of bunches were disposed of.
The large 'Mum came in for its share of
popularity and many were sold. In fact,
all stock that was in condition to sell was
cleaned up. Carnations had but a weak
call so far as the city was concerned,
and as there was not so large a supply
on hand, all were cleaned up. Violets
and Roses were equally well cleared. The
call for corsages and centerpieces was not
very heavy where the price was over $4,
but cheap pieces found ready buyers.

Many of the older florists like to let
their fancies roam back to the time when
the large 'Mum was supreme at Thanks-
giving and when they were sold by the
thousand, with the top notch price of
$4 per doz., and buyers were found by
the dozen. Now, six will do, and mostly
it's a bunch of Pompons, and the old
register gets hot, yet the total looks small
when the day's rush is over. Fruit bas-
kets, as usual, were featured by many
shops, and some very clever arrangements
were shown, but so few were sold as to
make one nearly lose faith in the flower
buying public, when they will not even
respond to the exceptional.

Cyclamen took the lead in pot plant
sales, and while there was some call for
Primroses and Begonias, pot stock as a
whole was a comparatively small item of

■J-l-ip SrllcS

As stated before, the day following
Thanksgiving Day was a rip-snorter for
floral work, but each day thereafter
seemed to get less active until cold
weather completely stagnated the trade
so that nothing was moving. It was rather
sudden, and although there was not a
great supply of stock, there was more
than was necessary for a few days. On
top of this, it has started snowing, which
adds worry to the grower to get his stock
to the retail shops unchilled, while the
retailer worries about the demand and
the delivery. From all reports; Christ-
mas is expected to cut no exceptional
capers this year. Christmas coming on
Monday, gives us three days to make
deliveiy, and this will help some. Pro-
visions are being made to have plenty of
paper on hand to wrap in case of the
weather keeping up with snow and low
temperatures.

Strawflowers are now to be had in
uearly all shops, and basket arrangements
of these are on display; these are finding
ready sale. The popularity of the Straw-
flower seems to be growing and it seems
each year finds additional admirers. Ac-
tually, Strawflowers soon become an eye-
sore, and the good housewife either scraps
them or puts them away for future ref-
erence, so that it's a new crop of buyers
each year. Many are being shipped back
to the Eastern States.

The Holly question has been greatly
aggravated by the frost and snow, as it
has been impossible to cut Holly in this
condition and ship. This leaves orders
for thousands of pounds on hand that are
still unfilled. Good Mistletoe is also
scarce.

News Notes

Henry Birchler reports exceptional
demand for Holly, and he says that he
is getting a better wholesale price than
he has for many years. The cold weather
has been hampering him greatly.

The cold snap has kept the growers
busy keeping things up to growing tem-
perature, and with some this has been
impossible, and a little stock was nipped.
The growers of Christmas stock report a
clean sweep, and now the buck is up to
the retailer to see that it goes to the
homes and dispenses the Christmas spirit ■
flowers so ably convey.

Lubliners are showing some basket ar-
rangements of Strawflowers, for which
they report a ready sale. Strawflowers in
bunches are also in heavy demand.

Holden's have a very artistic window
of everlasting flowers, Teasels and Lotus

Eods and leaves. In fact, with the Straw-
owers display of Niklas & Son, this
makes Morrison st. the Strawflower street.
Niklas & Son are displaying some ar-
rangements of cones and candles, which
are meeting with a good deal of popu-
larity.

Clarke Bros, are, as usual, the kings
of the Oranges, both in basket arrange-
ments and as specimen plants. The last
few years there has been an attempt of
many of the growers to make these a
yearly Christmas crop, but the time and
bench room they require make them a
very expensive crop to grow, so that now
Clarke's have the field nearly to them-
selves again. H. N.

Trade Notes

Dec. 16. — Trade has been sprightly
with florists of the city and of the terri-
tory, with prospects eight days before
Christmas of a shortage in some items.
Merchandise has moved especially well,
and it is said that the availability of
many artificial flower items and of deco-
rative pieces in flower stores, may actually
prevent disappointment of customers who
had set their hearts on fresh flowers or
plants. Nearly every florist is making up
special designs in baskets for table and
room decorations, the bright tinted Poin-
settia baskets being popular.

The William L. Rock Flower Co. is this
year having a large call for its baskets,
in which a large red candle is the central
feature. This company introduced the
candle idea several years ago, and it has
been taken up generally. The company
went another step ahead this Winter, in
exploiting the candles, by producing ah
immense candle, 3%ft. high and 5in. in
diameter, which was placed in the window
of the store, and lighted Dec. 15. It is
expected to burn until New Year's Day,
when another giant candle may be placed
there. This candle was made by M. E.
Carter and his assistants, from ends of
candles previously used in wedding work
and table decorations.

Holiday Prospects Good

The holiday season in Kansas City
seemed to release the public from the
restraint under which it had been labor-
ing, with reference to the spending of
money. The volume of trade as Christmas
approaches has increased to a very great
extent. "People seem quite willing to
spend money, especially for novel effects,"
said one florist. The number of orders
for table decorations in this season has
been notable, and there has been no ob-
vious tendency to hold down expenditures.
The business has been of sufficient volume
to tax the resources of some florists that
specialize in this work. The Muehlebach
Flower Shop, for instance, which has
inuph of such work in the hotel, had re-
cently 22 table decorating orders in one
day, a Saturday, all for evening dinners.

One of the new items noted in Kansas
City this season is the gelatine flowers,
artificial plants which are highly decora-
tive. They have attracted much attention,
but have not been shown long enough to
justify any comment on sales results.

A Christmas item strikingly unusual
and attractive is the white Christmas
tree, sold by the William L. Rock Flower
Co. This comes from the "factory" of
M. E .Carter, in the store basement, where
the ordinary variety of tree is given an
air-gun coat of white — not paint, but a
plaster mixture with which a single coat
can be made to produce the completely
whitened effect.

Florists Meet

The Florists Allied Council of
Greater Kansas City held its monthly
meeting Dec. 15, at the Baltimore Hotel,
which has been designated the official
gathering place for future monthly lun-
cheons. W. L. Rock presided. The chief
subject of discussion was the future co-
operation of growers and wholesalers with
the retailers in the publicity fund. The
former group announced that they were
operating with subscriptions for advertis-
ing the Kansas City market, one-fourth of
which fund would be turned into the local
publicity fund for use in trade advertising.
The growers and wholesalers — the larger
ones — will continue their subscriptions to
local fund, with which advertising of the
flowers to the public is done. A few
smaller growers may not continue the lat-
ter payments, the 25 per cent of market
publicity fund referred to, making up for
the local fund any possible deficiency from
growers and wholesalers as a group. The
producing factors are said to realize that
Kansas City cannot be built into a sub-
stantial flower market for wholesalers un-
less the retailers of the town and terri-
tory move more flowrers, so that consumer
advertising must be carried on aggres-
sively and increasingly. Suggestions were
made for consumer advertising of flowers
for the week before Christmas.

B. S. B.

St. Louis, Mo.

We are having real cold weather and
trade, as usual before the holidays, is
somewhat slow. Retailers, however, are
kept busy with their preparations. Whole-
salers are looking after orders and pre-
paring shipments. The supply, it is
thought, may be short especially if the
next few days remain cloudy. Prices
this week have stiffened, of course, but
real Christmas prices will start only
about the 18th.

Carnations this week are quoted at 6c.
to 8c. and Roses at 6c. to 30c. Prices
for Christmas are quoted: Carnations, $15
per 100; Roses, 10c. to 50c, Narcissus,
Sc, Violets $3, Sweet Peas 2c. to 4c,
Lycopodium and Holly are in, the for-
mer selling at $5 to $6 per case, Mistle-
toe generally arrives about the 18th. The
florists windows are, of course, massed
with red colors and Christmas novelties
are seen everywhere. At this writing
Saturday night (Dec. 16) it is snowing
Leftover Roses are being sold cheap —
25 in a bunch for 50c — At the 10c. store
bargain counters long stem Roses go at
10c. each. It is to be hoped that the
growers will resist the temptation to
hold back stock.

The Florists Club Meeting

The St. Louis Florists Club held
its regular monthly meeting in the sales-
rooms of the Windier Wholesale Floral
Co. The attendance was only 35, small-
er than usual owing to the busy season.
Two new members were elected and two
more sent in applications for member-
ship. Geo. Pring of the Missouri Botani-
cal Garden was awarded in a neat speech
by Pres. Frank Windier, the two S. A.
F. medals, one of 1917, and the other of
1922, for his new Lily plant. A few re-
marks were made by some of the mem-
bers about the recent flower show and
the hard work done by Geo. Pring, An-
drew Hoffman and others. F. C. Weber,
Jr., vice-president of the F. T. D., told
the members that St. Louis would go over
the top at the meeting to be held in Oc-
tober 1923. He said a dance would be
held on Jan. 16 at the Hotel Chase to
the florists, to aid the committee ap-
pointed to entertain the visiting florists
at the coming F. T. D. meeting.

The next meeting will be held at the
salesrooms of the George Pieser Wholesale
Floral Co.. Frank Fillmore proposed a
rising vote of thanks to the Windier
Wholesale Floral Co. for the entertain-
ment of the visitors.

The St. Louis Seed Co. is busy with all
kinds of orders. Some special German
canary birds and some extra finely ber-
ried Holly and Christmas mixtures are
on sale.

F. H. Weber's shop is, as usual, a
bower of beauty. Fine specimens of
blooming and decorative plants and a
splendid assortment of cut flowers meet
the visitor at every corner. A beau-
tiful window display adds to this attrac-
tive location.

A visit to the West End branch of
Young's Floral Co. found the proprie-
tors busy handling a splendid assortment
of Christmas novelties. C. W. W.

Trade Notes

From this date until after Christ-
mas, will be busy times for the florist.
The florists have the usual supply of cut
flowers in generous quantity, including
Roses, Carnations, Chrysanthemums, Nar-
cissi and Callas. In pot plants, Cyclamen,
Poinsettias, Cleveland Cherries and Be-
gonias are leaders.

Weather conditions the past week have
been rather unfavorable for flower de-
velopment; cold, damp and cloudy, with
an occasional half day of sunshine. It
often happens in this locality that the
temperature is mild on the day preceding
Christmas and on Christmas Day, enabling
the florists to make deliveries with little
or no wrapping, which means much. We
hope for these conditions on this occassion.

St. Paul, Minn.

Dec 17. — With Christmas only one
week off, the general line of plants are
better this season than usual, especially
Poinsettias and Cyclamen. Cut flowers
are rather scarce, but the quantity of
plants will no doubt be equal to the
demand. During the past week Wintry
conditions arrived, and sub-zero weather
continues. Several shipments of Holly
were received in a badly frozen condition,
therefore Holly is not overabundant on
the market here. Roses and Carnations
will not be in full crop, owing to the dull
weather all through November. All cor-
sage stock is plentiful, with the exception
of Violets, and these are practically a
failure for the time being, owing to the
warm weather and lack of sunshine dur-
ing the past month. One man in Min-
neapolis last year picked for Christmas
alone 60,000 flowers; this year he will not
pick 500 from the same number of plants.

Most of the Chrysanthemums were
cleaned up for Thanksgiving, with prices
fair, but until that time prices had ruled
next to nothing, owing to the market
gardeners running a catch crop and flood-
ing the market. A fine batch of late
Chrysanthemums is being cut at Tricker's,
late Chrysanthemums being a specialty of
this firm.

Merriam Park Floral Co. has a splen-

St. Joseph, Mo.

J. W. Murphy, president of the Stuppy
Floral Co., reports that its new Rose,
Annie Laurie, is selling far over expecta-
tions, and that the bookings have aver-
aged 8000 a week since its advertising
was commenced. Many large growers
have visited the houses wherein this va-
riety is growing, expressing their belief
that this Rose is a wonderful sport and
bound to supplant its parents. Joe Hill
of Richmond, Ind., who has had 100
plants under observation in his own houses
the past ten months, has placed an order
for 5000 plants, and will probably take
more if he can get them. The Stuppy
Floral Co. expects to make a large display
of Annie Laurie at Cincinnati, Jan. 28,
at- the time of the meeting of the Ameri-
can Rose Society.

Carnation Rosalind

This sport of Matchless has been shown
several times during the past two seasons,
it being a protege of Strouts, Inc., Bidde-
ford, Me., who at Hartford last January
and at various other meetings, have
shown it in fine condition. It is to be
distributed this coming season, and for
fancy trade will doubtless meet with con-
siderable favor. It is almost a bicolor,
being a deep shade of pink in the center,
running off to blush on the outer edges.
In Midwinter it is inclined to be paler,
and at times is more or less flaked.

We were recently favored with a num-
ber of blooms of this novelty, but un-
fortunately the box met with a sharp spell
of frost on the journey, resulting in pre-
mature closing of what were undoubtedly
fine flowers when packed.

Ordinarily, Rosalind is a good shipper,
as was demonstrated by its fane condition
at Hartford, and also at Boston and New
York Club meetings in the early Spring.

Wolfe the Florist's 30th Anniversary

Waco, Tex., is on the business map
and generally well known because of
Wolfe, the Florist. Tom Wolfe, Jr.,
who carries on the business with the
assistance of his mother and brother, is
an acknowledged hustler. Born into the
business, he has a practical knowledge
of everything relating to it, and that
the firm is well thought of in Waco, was
recently demonstrated by the Waco
Times-Herald devoting a whole page of
its Sunday edition to the history and ac-
tivities of Wolfe, the Florist. The firm
was established 30 years ago by the
present owner's grandfather, James
Wolfe. From 1000 ft. of glass the
business has grown until it now exceeds
35,000 ft. The retail store has just been
thoroughly overhauled and rebuilt in
celebration of the 30th anniversary. This
celebration was planned on an elaborate
scale.

Use These Columns For Good Results

The Market

With orders by the bushel and a
modicum of supplies, wholesale dealers of
the Cincinnati district were in a quan-
dary last week and are this. Red Hoses
are the order of the day, and there
are no red Roses to be had for love or
monev. One firm sold 50,000 Premier,
Butterfly and Columbia, all of which
were to be had on this market. There
were no Roses of short or medium stems
either, and the trade was strong in its
call for those kinds of stems. As a re-
sult of the shortage and the inability of
the dealers and commission men to land
orders of red Roses in any quantity,
flower fans of this district had to satisfy
their craving for red with orders for red
Winterberries, Carnations and Poinset-
tias. How many Roses were sold this
week and last is difficult to say, but a
rough estimate places the Christmas and
pre-holiday demand at close to 200,000.
Average run of Roses brought from 20c.
to 50c. each; wholesale and specials sold
readily for 45c. and 50c. apiece. Car-
nations were also strong in demand and
short in supply and prices went up to
$12 and $15 a 100 wholesale. Mistletoe,
'Mums of white and yellow hue were
prime favorites, and select stock sold as
high as $7.50 a doz. Pink 'Mums of less
expensive grades also were good sellers.
Demand for Christmas supplies of all
kinds was a record breaker for this mar-
ket, according to dealers. Quantities of
artificial Poinsettias, Holly wreaths, pa-
per decorations and other supplies, and
tens of thousands of bolts of ribbon
for dressing floral baskets and boxes were
disposed of. The dealers said t^iat the
demand for this class of goods was never
so brisk as it has been this Fall and
Winter and sales are increasing in vol-
ume. Dark weather and the high prices
of real flowers have had a great deal
to do with this abnormal demand, it is
said, but florists claim their trade is
being weaned away from Holly and Laurel
toward the more lasting stock.

This condition applies to all the ter-
ritory supplied by Cincinnati dealers and
jobbers of supplies, but it is said that
there never was a time when the sale
of artificial Christmas decorations and
flowers was so general as this year. Per-
sons are buying them who never before
thought of purchasing flowers, and the
reason seems to be that they demand some-
thing red and bright in their windows
at the Yuletide season.

Cincinnati is well supplied with money
this Christmas and the farmers of this
section are buying Christmas decorations
as they never bought them before. They
have large supplies of ready money in the
burley Tobacco and Blue Grass growing
belts where the cooperative marketing as-
sociations have had a strong vogue. This
rural prosperity is being reflected strong-
ly in larger purchases of home decora-
tions, and this is one of the reasons why
florists of small towns are stocking up
on them; and they are sending in re-
peat orders, showing that their stocks
are going like hot cakes. Prices this
year are on a par with last year, which
was a low price holiday season because
the people had no money to buy. Roses
and Carnations are the two highest priced
classes of flowers being sold, and quota-
tions on them are influenced by the pre-
vailing scarcity. They are almost double
what they were at Thanksgiving week.

Radio Set Saves a Florist

The first time on record that radio
was put in use to call a fire depart-
ment happened last Saturday when John
Keck of Gray Road sent out a brodcast
call to the Cincinnati fire department
for help. The fire had occurred in the
greenhouse of Funke Brothers at 4798
Gray rd., and the telephone in the Funke
establishment was out of commission, so
it was impossible to use it. A boy at
Keek's has a radio set and in despera-
tion Mr. Funke urged him to broadcast the
message. It was caught by a boy in
Cincinnati, who called the fire tower.
The apparatus put out the fire, but not
before it had done damage amounting to
S1000 or more.

The fire was caused by the explosion
of a boiler in the Funke greenhouse. No
one was injured, but a large number of
greenhouse plants, including many Poin-
settias and Roses, were damaged to such
an extent that they will be useless for
this season it is said.

Growers and Retailers Confer

Committees from the Cincinnati or-
ganizations of growers and retailers held
a conference last Thursday night to dis-
cuss matters pertaining to the general
welfare of the floral (industry. ! T|he
meetiug was more or less preliminary and
all concerned were so busy with holiday
trade that they decided to postpone
definite action until after Jan. 1. The
retailers committee consisted of C. J.
Jones, chairman of the Retailers Asso-
ciation; Julius Baer, H. W. Sheppard,
president of the Cincinnati Florists So-
ciety, and Irwin Gephardt. The Grow-
ers committee consisted of Richard Wit-
terstaetter, president of the Growers lo-
cal; Joseph Imholte, secretary; Charles
Murphy and John Bruckner of Bond Hill.
Retailers Have Busy Yuletide

Retail florists of the Cincinnati
district report that their pre-holiday
business is the largest in years. Every
florist is working day and night trying to
keep apace with his orders and in the
larger establishments of the city and the
hilltop districts, telephone orders keep
pouring in as fast as stock is prepared
for delivery. Prices are not so high as
in other years because the public will not
pay high prices. C. J. Jones of the Wal-
nut Hills Floral Bazaar, president _ of
the retailers, said this week that prices
had gone back to the pre-war basis on
most all classes of flowers. In some classes
they are below the pre-war basis, he
said, but the increased volume of busi-
ness makes it profitable to sell on that
basis. Generally speaking, he said, the
trade is calling for a better class of
goods.

Julius Baer is making use ot a highly
attractive Christmas reminder in the
form of a folder sent through the mails.
The front depicts Poinsettias against a
background of gold, while the back and
inside give a strong hint of tropical
Mexico. The folder serves as a Christmas
price list for cut flowers, plants and bas-
kets E. L. Hawes.

Kalamazoo, Mich.

Dee. 15. — Winter comes on us with a
rush this season for only last week Dan-
delions were in blossom on our lawn, but
now they are covered with nearly a foot
of snow and a period of zero weather
that is just letting up, so it looks just
now like a white Christmas after all.
Christmas prices have not been estab-
lished yet, but it is safe to say they will
follow Chicago price lists closely, as al-
though we have probably the largest grow-
ers in Michigan, located here, much stock
is also shipped in from Chicago for the
local trade so one of those peculiarities
our trade enjoys exists here, as it does
elsewhere. There does not seem any rem-
edy for this wasteful economic condi-
tion The present weather will doubtless
shorten up the cut flowers and most like-
ly last year's prices will be quoted.
'Mums are gone; Carnations and Roses
are in fine condition and good weather
will bring them out. Violets, Peas and
bulb stock are liable to be obtainable
in large quantities, but there are plenty
of Poinsettias, Cyclamen, Primula, Be-
gonias, etc., in bloom, so that not much
trade will be lost for lack of flowers.

In addition, made up baskets, etc., of
Boxwood and other greens mixed with
bright colored artificial flowers are on
show for $2 or $3; quite a cheerful look-
ing decoration may be had, and, truth to
tell more satisfactory as an ornament
than some of the dejected looking live
plants wished into the homes of the
public. Holly is not a popular product
with our retailers and the same may be
said of bouquet greens and Christmas
trees so much so that the bulk of this
business is left to the groceries and street
pedlars who, we hope, are able to get
some satisfaction out of handling it. In
any case, the florist has all he can do
in wrapping and delivering plants and
flowers and good extra help is hard to

° Business since Thanksgiving has kept
up fairly well, although I doubt if on
the whole it is as good as last year, but
this is mainly on account of funeral work
slackening up. Certainly our people are
more largely employed now than for some
time and this, in addition to the dis-
bursement of some $350,000 of Christmas
savings, will make good business tor the
holidays. To your readers and to the
staff of The Exchange, I wish a Merry
Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous
New Year. b- J}-

Horse Sense Talk
Number Two

In talk number one, we mentioned what our notion is
of horse sense. The man who starts right now plan-
ning for his next house, comes pretty close to having
some, and knowing how to use it.

For the next few weeks, planning is the thing! Never
mind about the minor construction details.

Your plan is the most important thing. There are several good green-
house builders who can put up your house. There are mighty few,
however, who know any too much about planning.

Right now here are 10 questions you ought to be asking yourself
and making sure you have the right answers.

1 . What size house is the best for my
business? Should I build one large
house or several small ones?

2. Why is it that many of the big grow-
ers are going back to houses 50 to
60 feet wide?

3. What height eaves should I have?

4. Shall I have columns and do away
with all possible trussing, or reduce
the columns and truss the roof?

5. Which will give me the best value
in connection with my plan, a semi-
iron or a full iron frame?

6. Which way shall I run my house.
North and South, East and West, or
turn it slightly one way or the
other?

7. Where shall my workroom be
located?

8. Where should the boiler be located?

9. How shall I plan these, so my place
can grow without costly altering
and rebuilding?

10. Am I planning far enough ahead?
Planning for the years to come orj
just for what is now?

To which questions, let us add one. When do you want to
talk planning with us? Won't cost you a cent. More than
likely save you many a dollar.

Ii ,'.s when looking down the side of Hausman's big house that you are most impressed

wS h its freedom from cumbersome framing: members. Likewise with the strength

that is everywhere evident

If only a photo would show up the crop as it actually is! 'We got way

up above the benches to take this photo and still it doesn't begin to

do the crop justice. These folks certainly do know how to grow

carnations

Housing The Hausman's

Ever happened around at their plant, at
Hilton, N. J., a few days before Easter?
If you have you can believe the rumor
that's going about, how they are "mighty
prosperous." Truckload after truckload
of plants go out. None of your little
Ford trucks, either, but those big fel-
lows, large enough to live in. Strange,
too, that as many as they were, no one
seemed in a hurry. But if you hung
around a bit, you discovered that was

because the work itself, and the work of
everybody besides, had been carefully
planned beforehand. Things simply

moved along like clockwork.

That's why housing the Hausman's has
always been such satisfactory business,
not to mention a genuine pleasure to all
of us.

To which let us add that we go anywhere
for business, or to talk business.
